And then the Brothers Long join.
Little mailbag, a little bit of the best of dirty hands.
Harry, we just have a good bit of fun. And don't forget, we got Big Bad Vaughn Miller later this
afternoon. At 2 p.m. you'll find a great conversation between Vaughn and Chris. You all enjoy?
Reed, ask me a question about softball. On the phone, you were like, uh, hey, I'm going to come in real
fast. It was so epically terrible. Was it actually that epically terrible? Slaughter rule, 10-0.
It was quick, too, because y'all left here at 645 and it's an hour later. Listen, it's 7.53 p.m.
the game started at seven.
The softball field is eight and a half minutes away.
I had to spend three minutes walking to my car,
talking to the guy that I called off or appeared to call off
on the last out of the game.
Fly ball just hit the fucking, it hit the deck.
It was like a 30-pound rock hit the grass right in front of us.
Like that's the way, like our team is so smart.
Guys are, we're walking in and a dude says that's an ignominious way to,
end the game.
I don't even know what that means,
but I'm pretty sure it means
that's how the fucking game went,
is how the game ended.
Now, we wouldn't have put the guy out
at home plate.
Base reduced.
It's 10-0.
This was deep, left center.
And what I'm trying to be
is accountable here, Reed,
because I had a hand in this.
Everybody took a fucking turn.
But we got a buy week coming up,
Reed.
Buy weeks and soft off.
I found out as I was getting in the car
before somebody yelled at me,
like I was about to hit their tiny Ford Bronco,
didn't know I had a backup camera
okay
spent 15 seconds gawking at them
we have a buy week coming up
Reed and we couldn't hit the ball out of the
infield this guy was like Greg Maddox
he had like spin on the ball
knuckle ball sinking at softball
and this like high you know he's
yeah he had spin he had spin the whole thing dude
everybody was hitting fucking grounders this guy was
legitimately Greg Maddox it was so
fucking bad read like this is not
not a good feeling. Honestly, the only reason I'm here is to be accountable. As I was walking
out to the outfield, one of my teammates was like, oh man, nights like tonight, you probably don't
want to go to work and talk about this shit, do you? And I was like, you know what? I was going to
go home. We had all our work wrapped up for the day. We wrapped a great interview with Von Miller.
We had Bow Allen. We had Kyle Long for a great mailback. We had Dirty Harry, you know, all three
brothers on the Zoom. Everything was going perfectly. Got to the stadium. Got to the stadium.
them there and laid an epic egg.
And so I need to come in and be accountable and tip my cap to that group of guys who did not
look like a team that was going to beat us 10 to nothing.
Not that I thought we were going to win.
We haven't done that in fucking ages, I feel like.
But the way we finish that game was disgusting.
I think you guys were, you got your last win.
You were two and one at one point.
I lost.
Because you went one and then you won the next game.
I lost count.
It's been an O for recently.
Now, do you all have the same respect for this?
team that blew you out, as you do for the last week's team that blew you out? Because remember, you
came in here, you were like, hey, take it all the way. You guys take the ship. Yeah, well, this team,
you know, I respect them for sure, but the pitcher, man, you know, they scored 10 runs. They,
you know, they're a good, solid hitting team. How many innings? Five or six innings, you know,
whatever, however far we made it. That's better than, that's better than last week.
It's not, though, because the way, we were hitting all grounders. We, we could. We, we were hitting all
grounders. We couldn't hit the ball out of the infield.
Was it a lot of three up, three down? It was a slow
death, dude. These guys were, their put-outs
were perfect. The ball was always
on target, so yes, I respect them in the
field. At bat,
solid team, nothing right home
about, but the fact that we couldn't hit
fucking Tim Wakefield out
there. You know,
it was disgusting, dude. Fielder's choice
and an error. Do these
these teams practice? Do you think these teams?
They must. I just wanted to get that off
my chest before the podcast. And a buy-week.
week next week so yeah to think about how fucking terrible we are you guys might need a like a mini
camp you guys just go somewhere for a weekend hey you know what we need a vacation like a field build a field
down you know out in the woods you just you guys just grab a couple coolers a miller light yeah you know
drink responsibly down there and work on your softball no we need to take a team trip we need to go to like
to like cooperstown go to curl harbor yeah we need to go there you need to go to gettysburg you need to go to
to Gettysburg. You need to get, uh, Dead's Out Washington to take you to Gettysburg.
We need to go to Gettysburg. We got to figure this shit out. We need to do something to bond as a team
because that wasn't up to our standard. Myself included. Okay. So I'm in here to say that.
Enjoy the podcast. Um, fuck me.
Gonna be a great show. Got Bo Allen coming on. Then I got Kyle and a mailbag. Um,
read, am I missing anything? You're missing something pretty big, I think. It's another double drop Wednesday.
Oh, man.
And we...
I heard him, Reed.
We had him come through.
Von Miller.
Yep.
Join the show today.
Buffalo Bill, former L.A. Ram,
former Denver Bronco, two-time Super Bowl winner.
And Mench.
He's a Mench.
He's a Munch.
He stayed on for 45 minutes.
Oh, he's a wonderful person.
Whatever you need.
He said it about five times.
Oh, I love the guy, dude.
We love Von Miller.
I didn't think I could love him anymore.
And he blessed us with that dynamite interview.
So check that out.
coming out later today.
If you're going to sit through this,
you should definitely sit through Von Miller as well.
All right, now time to bullshit a little bit.
And we're getting the band back together.
Kyle's coming in studio.
I'm waiting patiently.
He's getting McDonald's.
And Howie's about to hop on the Zoom.
Dirty, hairy for some fuck, Mary Kill, in that order.
Every deep playoff run starts with building an amazing team.
Doing the same for your business doesn't take a room full of scouts.

It's almost week five, guys.
and I guess
But was there ever a time in your career
that you were counting the weeks
to the end of the season
and what was the earliest
that you were counting the weeks?
I think you start to count the weeks
like in the off season
when you see the fucking bye week
you know and you're like
all right you gotta see when that bye week is.
Yeah.
You know what I'm talking about?
But in 2018 we were the bucks
I think our de-coordinators
Mike Smith got fired after like week three
or week four
and that at that point
when your de-coronators fired about halfway through the season and you have one of those
injured defenses that you've ever seen in your whole fucking life.
Then you kind of start to count the weeks.
And by the way, I'm counting the fucks today.
Bo Allen, you know, this is me putting my producer hat on after a recent show.
You know, Bo always wants to know, how am I doing?
I'm saying, bro, you're doing awesome.
You say, you respond well to feedback, Chris.
You say, fuck a lot.
It's like a crutch for you.
You know, I have crutches.
You just happens to be fucking.
and I'm a guy who says fucking like, you know, indiscriminately.
I use fucking as a verb, a noun, a present participle, past participle.
Motherfucker as a compliment.
Yep.
Jarend.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I use all that shit.
And, and Bo, I just, I want to challenge you not to say effing today.
So we're going to have a swear counter.
The goal is to get through the entire pod without saying fuck or fucking for Bo Allen.
I'll put like I'm gonna be generous
I'm gonna put it at two
you get one
fuck up you get to two
here's what I'm proposing you gotta do
when's when does it start when does it start
after right now right now
okay hold on hold on fuck fucking fucking
cockball shit ass bitch
bitch bastard fuck
it's like doing ayahuasca for your vocabulary
it's just a cleanse
all right so starting now
and you haven't even heard the terms of the
the deal here but if you get if if we get two of them you got a bet against wisconsin this weekend
you got a place a bet against wisconsin on the win bet a three-figure bet bow three figure
figures yeah you know you got an interim coach this weekend i know it's fun to root for the
interim coach uh because they well jimmy's a good coach okay we want to root for jimmy so let's not
say we want to root for jimmy jimmy leon legend and y'all are playing northwesting legend is northwest
Wisconsin, is that a big, is that a robbery? No, but times are tough right now in Madison, so
who knows? Yeah, well, times are freaking tough in Madison. Let's get this show on the road, man.
Bo, anything good happening today? Yeah, a lot of things are good. If my connection seems bad,
Chris, it's because I'm currently downloading Overwatch 2. It's a big day. I'm going to be,
I got my monster. I got some dozers. I'm going to be up all night.
I'm a mercy, man.
I know you have no idea.
No idea what you're talking about.
You might as well be my teenage son that I'm not getting along with who spends all his time in like his.
He's a healing room.
He's a healer.
I'm a healer.
Yeah.
Healer,
Maine.
Mercy.
It's like the exact character that you would not expect me to play.
Well,
what is so,
so,
kind of hot.
Let me ask you a question.
Everybody just heard what Bo said.
There's a new video game out.
Bet the Eagles this weekend.
They played Kyler Murray.
He's the only needs to see if Kyler is on overwork.
Skyler does not play Overwatch, dude.
No chance.
What's he on?
He's probably on Cod or like Apex or...
Why do you say that?
Why doesn't he play Overwatch?
Overwatch is the kind of game for people that like don't leave the house.
Isn't that what all these games are for?
Actually, I don't know, man.
Yeah.
I don't know.
That's a little discriminatory.
I think Overwatch is very broadly appealable.
Okay.
What about the one, the Fortnite game?
Fortnite's for like 12 year olds.
Okay.
The guy who invented Fortnite, one of the guys that invented Fortnite,
lives in Charlottesville, or at least his family does.
I'm just a little nugget for you.
Bo, we were just...
Get him on the pot.
Yeah, we were just in Philly.
We had a weekend together.
Bo, I alluded to this on the Monday show.
Like, that was one of the top five drunkists I've been...
I don't...
Not all year, but like in the last six months, maybe.
Friday night.
That one snuck up on me, man.
Because, I mean, I wasn't really expecting you or Connor.
I don't know if you get.
I docks Connor Barwin.
Yeah, I know it's below him as an NFL executive to hang out with us to low lies.
But he took us out in Fishtown, his little hipster village.
You know, like we rolled up to this restaurant.
And I was all dressed up thinking, like, you know, it was a nice restaurant.
And it was.
It was LMNO is the restaurant.
It's awesome.
And they got this bar on the side that they spin vinals in.
It's cool.
It's like smoked out.
Really cool.
Really cool place.
And I'm always super nervous about hipsters because I think like they're going to be mean to me because I'm big and like they sniff, jock a mile away, right?
But they're all so nice.
You got to give them a chance.
These hipsters, man.
They're super cool.
Connor's one of them.
He brought his bike to the bar.
He had his bike helmet in the bar.
We had a grand.
I put his helmet on at one point.
At the bar, he put it on.
Yeah, it seemed necessary.
I had a couple drinks, you know, safety is important.
I'm a helmet guy.
Look like a goober.
But Chris and I were feeling ourselves a little bit.
We were, you know, back in Philly.
I hadn't been in Philly in a couple years.
I think Jake Elliott's wedding in like 2020 right before the pandemic was the last time that I was in Philly.
And so, you know, I want to go out and everyone's always talking about, oh, Bo and Chris, you're never going to have to buy a drink in Philly again.
That's not true.
I mean, I kind of found out.
I buy every drink.
I've never, you know they always say that.
I have, I don't think I've had a.
Yeah.
Now, here's what's unfortunate.
People buy us shots.
We don't want you to buy a shots.
We want like a beer or something.
I'm 37.
I don't need a shot.
I don't need two Jack Daniels back to back and then a fireball.
We had JMO.
Oh, somebody gave us JMO shots.
This is the first drink somebody bought us.
We were wandering around after LMNO because I really didn't think Connor was going to want to go out because he's got kids.
And, you know, so I was a little surprised.
And then we walked into a bar called Bar, or like the Bar or something, right by Center City,
which coincidentally was like the first bar I ever went to in Philly.
That was in OTA as a rookie just grinding, didn't know the city at all.
And we were staying at like some Marriott right by City Hall and just wandered over the bar.
So it's kind of fun for that to come full circle.
And that's when we had all the JMO shots.
And then we were wandering over, it got pretty late.
I didn't know the name of that bar.
I liked that bar.
I like that one too.
The bartender had an aquarium piece on a sleeve.
So we were talking about, you know, like fish, stuff like that.
I don't know if I was making any sense.
You know when you're like, I'm trying to speak English right now,
but I know the bartender sees how drunk I am.
Everybody else in the bar, like they have drunk person vision,
so they don't hear that you're slurring your words.
But when you try to have a conversation with a bartender,
that's when you look really dumb.
Yeah, I was looking stupid.
So then we went to a warrior.
We were trying to go to Voyer, which is like a late night spot.
I don't think it's a very nice spot.
And we got denied.
They wouldn't let us in.
And Chris and I were so butt-hurt about it.
It was really.
Speak for yourself.
I just wanted to instigate.
It was funny.
But like, I was like, man, I got to go back to the hotel room and get my, my, oh, I almost swore there.
I got to get my damn Super Bowl ring.
Good for you, bro.
Get into the, get into the ball at three.
Yeah.
Way to holster.
this way.
It'll turn out.
Imagine three former Eagles, though,
standing outside of a club that was really below,
nothing against the club,
but it was young.
I mean,
like legitimately below us to go to this club.
Like,
we are too old to be in this club,
which is why we got turned away.
But that's Bo's M.O.
to take you to a younger kids.
Right in Philly.
New Year's Eve.
Yeah,
there was.
It was raining out, too.
Yeah.
I mean,
I guess my old tricks aren't running.
They wouldn't let us stand under the tarp.
They're like,
you guys can't get in,
and you can't stand under this.
fucking tent. This is our tent.
Get out of here. Scram.
You're washed. Scram.
That tells you how recognizable and cool we are.
Never have to buy a drink again in Philly.
Yeah. They're not going to let you into the bar.
So you're not going to be buying a drink. Nobody's going to be buying you a drink.
Shout out to those bouncers.
Yeah, they were employees of the month.
They were hardos.
Yeah. Anyways, Philly was a fun weekend.
It took me like two, three days to get back on the mend after that night.
So thank you very much, Bo.
We had Monday night football last night, our last night, your two nights ago.
And listen, it's automatic bet the Niners when they play the Rams in the regular season.
They own the Rams, not in the postseason necessarily, because that's when they got them.
Jimmy G's seven and one now against the Rams.
2018, December, that was the last time.
the Rams beat the Niners in the regular season.
I was an NFL player.
My kid was crawling around.
Luke was crawling around.
You know, like the pandemic hadn't happened.
All was well, right?
It's been a long time.
And, you know, Jared Goff's sitting there, you know, after they lost the Seattle
and probably has the game on.
And he's like, man, I'm...
He's...
Ben Jones is better than...
Sean McVeigh.
Like, I don't know.
They can't figure it out since I left offensively, or since, not since he left,
but since they traded away Robert Woods.
Since they haven't had Robert Woods, they haven't looked the same.
And so last night was just another example of that.
And I don't think Matt Stafford's healthy, Bo.
I don't think so either.
Right.
I took a video during the game of him limping out of the half.
And I don't know, would this be a code break for me to post that video and be like,
yeah, Matt Stafford's limping, I feel like as a former football player and a media guy,
that's a really speculative tweet.
And I didn't hit send on that tweet.
Do you think that would have been a code break to point out a limp?
I mean, I just, I would never like to comment on injuries regardless, you know,
so I think that that's kind of what you're saying.
I don't know, maybe a little bit of a code break.
I think it's more of a former player thing.
Yeah, you've got to wait until you do your podcast the next night.
So I don't think he's well.
You look under his right sock.
It looks like he's got a knee sleeve on there.
A lot of guys wear knee sleeves and that sort of thing.
But he looks like he's limping around.
Nobody's caping for him.
Like, you know, last year, and they do this with quarterbacks.
Like a guy struggling, and, you know, the former quarterback in the booth
is going to point out how hurt he is three times in the game.
Like, yes, that happens, but two things can be true at once.
Like people might want everybody to know.
The whole deal makes some excuses for Matt,
but it also might be true.
We haven't even talked about the shoulder.
The ball placement looks off.
He looks erratic.
He's in the hunt for leading the league and picks.
I will say this.
I'm not going to count the Rams out,
although I had the Niners winning the division.
Now I'm like Oprah.gif with the palms out,
like, you know, they're favored to win the division.
Now sports books know.
We knew this.
but the Rams are still
possibly a playoff team
because of the defense
and because of some of the playmakers they have
and you don't know Matt Steffer could feel better
in a month like and they've been there before
Chris you know what I mean?
Like I think that that actually does mean something
when you've won a Super Bowl
and when you have a vet team like that
you can kind of go through shit during the season
and come out of it stronger and going a little
playoff push on the stretch maybe.
2018 Bo,
great point.
Like you weren't there.
You had moved on to greener pastures
to get ready to play with Tom Brady.
More humid pastures, bro.
But you were in Tampa,
and we were up there trying to defend that Super Bowl
that we won, and I think we started
the year four and six.
And, you know, I'm sure a lot of people
counted us out when we got beat by the Saints
44 to 7 down there in New Orleans,
and we go to play them in the playoffs
and we're a player two away.
So I only say that to say
when it comes to a team
that's defending a Super Bowl title
that has some injuries,
that Van Jefferson's down.
You know, they're replacing people up front, which is really hard.
And Matt Stafford's back there getting pummeled, right?
But last year, the year they won the Super Bowl, I can remember a primetime game,
and I talked about this on Fridge Talk last night.
By the way, code break to leave my fridge open for 12 minutes off and on?
Nah.
Yeah, that's what the fuck I said.
People made Fridge Talk.
So I said this last night on Fritch Talk.
Don't tease him.
Don't say fuck and he can't.
Yeah, yeah.
We're in the same boat here.
My fault, Reed.
That's freaking baloney.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I said this last night.
If you'll remember last year,
Matt Stafford and the Rams hosting the Titans,
I think there were seven and a half point favorites,
I think.
I have a problem if I remember that.
But I bet the Titans.
And the Titans got the job done,
and they just pummeled them up front.
and Matt was, he was fucking, the hits he was taking,
it looked like he was falling out of a 10-story building,
like onto the ground.
I mean, he was just, he was like Buddy Lee, you know,
the guy in the jeans commercial.
He took 11 quarterback hits, five sacks,
and it was Rams minus seven.
So there we go.
Rams minus seven.
So they were laying a touchdown.
They got beat.
And Tennessee that night just exposed some real weaknesses in them
that you knew were there.
from that moment on i kind of wrote them off i was wrong about the rams last year learned a lot of
lessons since i joined the media you know like do not count teams out that have good football players
like the rams do you know a lot of of uh my dad was talking to sean peyton this weekend
sean said something interesting it's not who you play it's when you play them and i think uh i think
that's true for NFL teams and i think it might be true for the rams here but when it comes
this match up fucking throw away the key the nineers own these guys and uh that defense is awesome that
nicko ryan's man demico ryan's man yeah demico ryan's this is a fun story i was watching the
game with some buddies last night i told them when i was in philly i was a rookie when you're a
rookie like you don't know what the hell is going on you don't even know what you don't know
about football yeah like all the rookies out there think you know they're hot shit and that they
freaking, you know, these all pro best players that know everything there is to know about football.
You don't even know how much you don't know.
So anyway, I'm sitting down in my stance and we're playing the Giants.
And D'emika goes, hey, Bo, hey, Bo, lead week!
It's coming right at you.
You're getting a double team.
And I'm just sitting there like, oh, thank God, dude.
Lead week?
And they got like a one-yard game.
I got a double team.
That whole day, he knew every single play that Eli and the Giants were running and just was sitting there.
like had the wherewithal on the field to make all the calls, all the adjustments.
And then realized, hey, I got this rookie nose guard down here that doesn't know what the hell is going on.
Like shout that out to me too.
Like, it's a pretty cool thing, man.
So DiMico Rines, I would literally die for him.
That's incredible.
That's incredible.
He's a really good guy, really good head coach.
Great, was a great, great player.
I played a lot of good stuff in the NFL.
And I think that he's going to have a really good head coaching job somewhere very soon.
Would you come out of retirement to play for him in Carolina?
Yeah.
The maybe Baker-Mayfield.
That's how much I love.
That's how much I love me.
I'll never forget, too.
Like, we would go, he's a great guy.
We would go to these dinners on, like, Thursday nights in Philly.
Like, we'd go to, like, Del Frisco's, like, these big defensive dinners.
And we'd always, you know, shoot the shit, like, talk about random stuff.
And somebody posed a question, like, what's the thing that you regret buying the most with, like,
I think someone had signed a big contract or something like that.
And everyone's going around talking about, like, a car or, like, a property.
they bought and DiMico's like, oh man, I got this water heater.
It just didn't, it just didn't work.
It just really didn't work.
And I was like, he's like, it was like 10,000 bucks.
Like, spend all this money on this dang water heater and like, it didn't even get the
water hot.
It was just the funniest, most humbling.
Like, it was, he's just a great guy, man.
So I, every time I see him, I mean, he's basically just making me rude for the
four-niners.
You know, Andrew Locke gets a flip phone and Dmito Ryan's gets a water heater.
I at least a Cadillac DTS.
That was my first big.
I was driving around like I was a fucking, like I was a chauffeur,
except I was in the front seat driving that motherfucker.
Sorry, Bo.
Uber black, SUD.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that thing rides.
That thing rides like a dream, those Cadillac DTSs, man.
That was my first purchase.
What was your first purchase, Bo?
Before we, we shower the Niners defense with praise.
Yeah, I was a seventh round pick.
So I
Pornhub premium
Yeah, exactly.
Just to have a credit card that you can make that purchase all without a
Remember, I got that check.
I got a set of golf clubs that I still use.
And I am really bad at golf.
That was close for you.
Yeah, that was close.
I am very bad at golf and I still have the same clubs.
And, you know, maybe that's a problem.
This, no, it's not a problem.
golf. Golf is an environmental issue.
We talked about it on the last pod.
You know how much they're watering these golf courses?
You don't feel bad about that.
Reed, you got a water boy's hat on.
You don't feel bad about that.
People are talking to me about keeping the fridge open.
I do feel bad.
It's the last thing you played nine holes.
Oh, it's been a while since I played nine holes.
But I watched the golf course get watered the other day, and it's tough.
It's not easy.
Oh, they just water the fuck out of that thing.
Yeah.
But you think about, you know, like maybe there's some,
some wildlife that lives off the water on that golf course.
Oh, that's good.
Maybe it pools somewhere and they know where to go.
That's good, Reed.
Good on you.
The 49ers defense,
they get a lot of great players on the team.
We always talk about how dominant they are
and how many,
how dominant they can be,
and how many blue chip kind of guys.
Like when you look at that sheet
that they have upstairs and everybody's got a different color,
like, you know, did you used to look at that sheet in Philly?
Sometimes I'd check it out.
Sometimes they give it to you and you'd be like, what the hell?
The scout is watching this?
Yeah, like, what?
This guy's a dog and he's like a, they had like the rating system.
You know, it would be like a guy who's like 5.2, which means like they should be cut like right now.
So they basically upstairs, they give you a sheet and they'd say, you know, the whole defensive formation, it's there on the paper and the depth chart.
Each guy fits into a rectangle that's colored appropriately.
And like blue chip players, there's more than a few.
of them in San Francisco, and a lot of them play offense, but it's the defense that if this team's
going to compete for a championship, that you can hang your hat on, man.
Like in the past, it's been like an incredibly dominant run game.
You know, this year, they've had injuries in the backfield.
You're adjusting to loss of Trey Lance to a loss of Trent Williams.
You know, last night, you do see a flash of greatness with like a toss that's a trap at the same
time, like this exotic shit.
I love that play.
It was a beautiful play.
I couldn't get enough of that.
I love their run game, man.
The run game's great.
Going back to, I mean, I don't want to get too.
Yeah.
But, like, seeing a play like that is, that's fun to watch because it's creative.
It's also really smart.
It's, like, I think we talked about, like, those wham traps in the pot before, but, like, just splits the defense.
You know?
Everything's about splitting the defense, man.
You're creating extra gaps with insert blockers and, like, the run game in the NFL now is so fucking exotic compared to what it used to be.
And Shanahan does a lot.
lot of that stuff and you can get enamored with the run game and the offense and debo samuel and iuk
and all those guys and george kittle who hasn't even been healthy um but it's the defense man it's three
levels of great players you know it's it's it's it's fonga you know it's ward breaking up a ball in
the corner of the end zone who fonga who's who's really come on the scene like last night was kind of
his national coming out party this guy's played sparingly last year um he was a six round pick was it was a u sc um
coincidentally USC same with with the soft-spoken goat Troy Palomalu who people are trying to
compare him to but this guy if you sweated the the Chicago San Francisco game you watched him
running around like Spider-Man in the rain this guy was was leaping and bounding all over the
field fearless jumping over motherfuckers the whole nine yards and you were like man is this guy
got juice or is this a nine-on-seven type of game where he's going to shine he really does
have juice man that pick six last night was huge you know he got to 21 miles per hour on that
pick six that had him as the second fastest dude on the field as a ball carrier in week four he ran a
four six at the combine like this guy's got field speed he's got great instincts he's going to be
really good i don't want to use the word great because you know you don't want to throw that word
around but this guy's going to be really good for a long time you have fred warner you know uh
who's an absolute start
Young D'Amico Ryan's, man.
He's so good.
He's really smooth.
He knows what is going on.
He knows what is going on.
He knows what the is going on.
Listen, he's, and I don't want to take anything away from him.
He's one-on-one, man.
And then Nick Bosa, who, as of last night, is your front-runner for the defensive
player a year.
As of last night, I want to read some stats to you last night.
I don't need, because he sneak up on you, right?
even me, not a ball watcher, you know, the DeLyman who appreciates disruptions.
14 pressures last night on his own, okay?
That's insane.
It's insanity.
What it means is, and I'm going to tell you.
That's like every rep.
It's damn near every.
No, no, Bo, you're right.
It's crazy.
And the thing that's amazing about it, and it makes sense, the reason he's not only a home run hiter
but can hit for average is because he can beat you.
multiple ways.
He's got counters.
He's got a good feel with his hands.
He's a power guy.
And he can work the edge off the power.
He's dominant.
He's so strong.
Six sacks on the year.
Has 30 pressures.
They run really good games, too.
They're, yeah.
30 pressures in four games.
On pace for one,
one, with an extra one, hold on.
Let me do this quick math.
127.5 pressures.
CTE check.
You're right.
Can I get a CTE check?
Can I get a CTE check?
Oh, wow.
Yeah, come on, bro.
I'm good with fast math.
Hey, CTE check passed.
Oh, I know.
Remember who we were doing that math in the car?
You see that, you?
All right.
That wish a motherfucker would diagram or that went viral on the internet.
That's kind of how I am with fast math.
Fuck around, find out.
Yeah.
You guys go to fuck around and find out how good I am at math.
It's not hard.
You don't have to fuck around very much to find out.
Dude.
Yeah, exactly.
You get it.
Chris will show you.
But Micah Parsons, the next.
closest
guy with pressures,
he's got 22.
And Michael Parsons isn't,
isn't absolutely...
We've been talking about him
all season,
how good he is.
Now, the only reason
he would have 50,
if not for how they use him
sometimes.
But Nick boasted to me
is in the driver's seat for DPOI.
And for them,
Ebucom seals the game,
if I'm not mistaken,
Los Angeles Ram.
That's got to feel good
to close out your old team like that.
This is a unit
that's allowing nine and a half
points for game this year. This is crazy.
They're absolutely legit.
And Jimmy G., man, he does enough.
You know, I know a bunch of yak kings, but
somebody's got to get those yak kings the ball.
By the way, Debo Samuel was
43rd in the fucking league
in yak yards.
And after the game
last night, he's third.
You know how many yack yards he had last night?
So he had 115 yards total.
78.
106.
I was going to say 70.
Oh.
106 total yak
yards. Every one of his yards was after the catch except nine.
Incredible. And for him, a big moment, you know, breaking Jalen Ramsey's tackle in the open field.
Like, Jalen's not afraid to tackle. So I don't know if that's a, you know, a thing that people, it's just a tough tackle.
It is a really tough tackle, man. You know, seeing Debo, Samuel coming at you in the open field.
Hey, Chris, speaking of tough tackles, Bobby Wagner, was that a code break? What do you think about that?
Bobby Wagner no not a co-break at all dude I thought it was a gender reveal at first and I was like yeah this is good let's deck these motherfuckers let's just start decking them let's get let's get Bobby Wagner with a tin advisor Terry Tating all these motherfuckers just like that would that's that's that's a that's a skit right there yeah so um no it turned out to be a chicken protester yeah like one of those Timberwolves people you remember
remember young lady chained herself to the basket.
Yeah.
These chicken protesters are getting out of hand, dude.
And security guard pulled his hamstring.
If I'm that security guard, I sue the chicken protester.
If I'm Bobby Wagner, you know how after an accident, people are like, oh, my neck kind of hurts.
Bobby Wagner, oh.
You know, like, that guy's got-
chalked that one up to big chicken.
Yeah, big chicken.
I got no problem with people taking their life into their hands, sprinting on to an athletic field.
I love when it happens.
I think they need to show it.
I think Peyton Manning is right.
Show the fucking the streaker.
Right?
Like, we're worried about a copycat league with streakers,
but we're showing Jeffrey Dahmer specials on Netflix.
Oh, I love that comparison.
You think about it.
It used to be like the TV didn't want to give them coverage
because more people would want to do it.
But now since everything goes online, what's the difference?
Bro.
Like they did, Conrittenhouse was on TV for three weeks.
Just put the streaker on TV.
It's just a person out there trying to spice up the football game.
Maybe they're protesting chicken, but you see how it ends.
It's fucking super entertaining every time.
I think there should be one streak or game.
If I was president, I would bring to you the one streaker game plan.
That you get like different streaker, like professional.
You get a streaker.
It's like, you say, bowl.
and become a whole thing.
Yes, dude.
And then like a huge streaker,
that's like a truck,
like he's gonna just,
he's like a truck driver's like six eight and four hours.
He can't take him down.
He's the cop in Boston who fought Kimbo Slice on YouTube.
Remember that shit?
That fight went forever,
dude.
You just couldn't kill that guy.
Or the guy that raced the,
the fast guy and the fast mascot and baseball,
you know,
freeze.
Oh, yeah,
freeze.
Freeze had no idea what,
what hit him, dude.
That guy was like a real sprint.
So yeah, I'm pro that
I'm pro decking the guy
I'm pro the guy being on the field like
I love it
Here let's talk about some guerrilla marketing
Why doesn't Greenlight podcast let's hire a streaker for a game
Absolutely hit my DMs
I'm ahead of I'm head of marketing now too
And HR let's go
I'm taking this bitch over
So yeah D-Bos a beast
We know that they were yak kings last night
And Jimmy G look better, look more comfortable
That's what he does though
You know
I'm not going to
draw too many conclusions on where
the Niners are, but
it makes sense that they're in the driver's seat to
win this division. They're just too solid,
man. Anybody that can't see that,
you know,
Ray Charles could see that.
It feels like they're picking up steam a little bit
too. Ask Stevie Wonder who's going to win the
NFC West. He would tell you.
He knows.
Somebody told me Stevie Wonder was driving a golf
cart.
I'm telling you, bro. I know
people in the music industry and somebody
told me a golf cart pulled up after a show at a festival and stevie wonder was driving that
motherfucker you tell me there's that story of uh shack said he was on an elevator and stevie wonder
walked in and literally and he was facing the other way the doors open one stevie wonder walked in
and said hey shack what's up shack oh telling you bro um okay so that that game that game was was
entertaining if you had the diners and the under and uh if you pick the niners go to the super bowl
I don't want to look like an idiot out here.
You know, I don't, my Super Bowl picks are not to have fun.
Like, I'm serious about them.
When I pick a division winner, like, I'm kind of, I might be fucking around a little bit,
but the Super Bowl picks, I want those to bear out.
How different do you all think the game would have gone if Jimmy G's pass
had actually gotten jumped and picked by Kendrick to Debo?
Because it almost was.
It was the right call and right spot to put it, but Kendrick made a great break on the ball.
he was just a split second too late tight window yep tight window dude that's that was a highly
energized and the niners too so it's that would have been a completely different okay let's let's
um you got you want to give out um an asshole of the week bow or should I give out drip king
first let's go or yeah what do you think I don't know let me do it let me do the yeah get you
because I already gave an asshole the week out all right how many times can I say the F word again
before we get into this?
Two's going to get you back on Wisconsin.
Here we go.
We won't swear.
Asshole of the week is this damn Hurricane Ian.
I was supposed to be on the pod last week.
Had some great conversations with Cowboy Reed.
We had a lot of really good content.
I wake up Tuesday morning to a mandatory evacuation notice.
Hurricane Ian, my asshole of the week.
It's coming in, expected 15 to 20 foot storm surges in Tampa Bay.
And I'm about two blocks, a block of a block.
off the water. I can see the bay right over there and I thought that I was supremely
aft. So I'd evacuate. We didn't get to do the pod. Unfortunately, or, you know, Hurricane Ian
turned south and really was devastating to Fort Myers and Naples, Tampa kind of got really
lucky and, you know, came away with one there. But big asshole the week, Hurricane Ian.
Do you have sandbags and stuff like that? Were you doing that sort of thing in your house?
bag thing so I there's a big construction site right next to my house and they had a bunch of sandbags and those guys are
They're very helpful. I did the sandbags. I did the board up the windows. I took all the furniture off my first floor
Unfortunately my place did flood um, but that was you know could have been a lot worse. It looks great. Yeah as it as it stands now. Thanks brother. I'm on the second floor right now. First floor is not in not in great shape. So hurricane in
you know
I'm glad you're okay
Bo I'm glad you're okay and
and I'm sure another one will be back soon
so it's good for you to get the reps
It's like a mock game for
You know, like a bigger game
Because it's coming
You live in Florida bro
All right
Drip King of the Week Jalen Hertz
Great great suit
To the game right
But it wasn't until the Manning cast
that this award was locked up
for Philadelphia's
favorite QB at the moment.
He gets up on the Manning cast.
First off, he's got a self-portrait
over his right shoulder,
and then you scan to the left,
and there's a self-portrait
of two guys
in football uniforms, different football uniforms,
and one's comforting the other
or encouraging the other.
And it was Jalen Hertz
at Oakland.
Oklahoma encouraging Jalen Hertz at Alabama.
Was it the other way around?
No, no, Oklahoma encouraging Alabama.
Yeah, the young Jalen Hertz was encouraging.
The older Jalen Hertz was encouraging the younger Jailen.
Okay, so I don't, I would have done it the other way around.
You would have done Alabama encouraging Oklahoma?
Yeah, I would have been like, I would have been like, no, you know what?
It's actually perfect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it works.
It is perfect in a couple ways.
Because he wore jersey number one at Oklahoma and two at Alabama.
So he's in Oklahoma gear number one encouraging number two at Alabama.
And both those colors, both those jerseys are nearly identical.
I mean, it really looks like it was a screen or a picture off of like a spring game between two guys.
It's like playing a spring game because the jerseys are so similar.
But I don't look so good.
I don't want.
Okay, I got to work this out of my head.
Do I want the old me who's just,
dealing with a bunch of bullshit.
No, it's the new guy.
It's the new guy.
This painting is breaking my brain, dude.
Because he, he, it's like the grandfather paradox.
She was doing her exception.
You know?
It's, um, it's tough.
It's tough.
What I want.
So the future you is encouraging the old you.
Are you, but are you telling him, are you telling him like, hey, things are
going to work out?
Are you just like, hey, just trust me.
Like, that's what you're doing?
Trust yourself.
Trust us.
Trust us.
Trust us.
Trust us.
I don't think I don't like that.
Because future beau hates past Beau.
Pass Beau.
I hate past Bo.
No, I don't hate past Bo.
No offense.
I hate past Chris, though.
I would have been like, you motherfucker.
Like, yeah, this bastard.
This bastard didn't do the dishes.
Yeah, bastard.
Yeah.
You see what I'm working with over here?
I got nothing.
Some ass commentary from you.
I wouldn't even talk to the old Chris.
You know, I want to get a painting of the new Chris.
Just walking by the old Chris.
Or maybe podcast Chris putting his arm around St. Louis Rams, Chris.
If I could petition, we were talking about this, if I could petition Mina Kimes or something
or someone, another prominent artist, to paint me, I'm going to commission a painting
here with somebody, Ace, our guy Ace and Chico, I need a painting sizable, wow,
of podcasting me, comforting.
St. Louis Rams me.
I'm going to put my on a microphone and we'll be putting my arm around somebody who just
looks dejected.
He's wearing a 72 Reebok pants with the fucking zipper.
Jerseys that fit like like like flack jackets heavy mesh.
Fucking four minute.
You know what I'm going to get commissioned?
What?
You know Trent Brown's tattoo.
Yeah.
I know.
Yeah.
That's a good one.
It's just going to be that.
But future bow.
is the standing with
Elman on and then past bow
You're Trent Brown
You're just having threesomes
But with my past self
Oh so
So your past self
Is you're just
You're just worshipping the
Yeah I got one in a in a bucks uniform
I got one in
One in an eagle's uniform
With a like in a Patriots uniform
Like back in the background
It's basically
it's Players Tribune.
You know, Players Tribune, I always say,
Players Tribune built a fucking empire.
Didn't they sell it for a bunch?
They're rich, right?
The people that started Players Tribune, they're rich.
All they did was write articles
where older athletes were writing letters
to the younger selves,
which is basically an opportunity to jack yourself off.
I know you don't know this, but when times get tough,
you're going to do X, Y, Z, and they, like,
they plot share and read, they're like Michael
okay in that motherfucker
just talking about your
Chris I know you know this but your IPA
is going to go up
You're going to save that baby
That fell in the river
You're going to do
You know like people are just
They're their own PR agents
Over there at Players Tribune with those letters
That's what
And it works as a pain
Now what you do
The better thing to do now Chris
Is to just
You know maybe like make a podcast
And hire all your family and buddies
So you can jerk each other off
Yeah pretty much
Hey you're you guys are awesome
No you're awesome
This is definitely worth it.
No.
Yeah.
We're really good and feeling.
This is going well.
Right.
Yeah.
So yeah, I love that painting, man.
I honestly, he's on, you know how Russell Wilson surrounds himself with like motivational people?
Like I'm pretty sure.
I always say this is friends with like Tony Robbins and Jordan Peterson.
And, you know, he's very, he's very like, he's out there with his mindset, right?
He makes it known.
I think Jalen Hertz has it figured out.
He doesn't have to say anything about it.
I think Jalen Hertz has what Russell Wilson wants between the ears.
I think when you got a painting of your old self, comforting your new self,
was the other way around.
The new self, comfort of the old self.
The most recent version of you comforting the older version of you.
That's the most player shit I've ever seen in my life, bro.
Jaylon Hertz went up a million notches in my book,
and I didn't think I could like it much more.
The Eagles are 4 and O.
just giving the Lombardi right now.
The guy's got fucking water
oil paintings of himself
over both of his shoulders
on the Manning cast
letting the conversation come to him.

J.J. Watt had A-Fibb this week.
weekend is what we found out, which is a heart condition.
Scary.
You know, he played with it.
But I was like, it was reminiscent of when you, when you had the same issue for me.
I don't know many people as players that went through it, like found out they have a fib and have to continue their career.
Like, what's the, tell me soup to nuts.
What's that about?
I'll try to not be too lengthy here.
Um, this is actually something I've never talked about on the media and I told you that, but, uh, you know, like you said, JJ is pretty emotional and he's an emotional guy. It's an emotional thing, especially when you're confronted with the prospect of, you know, having your career ends suddenly, which as football players, you deal with a lot. But basically atrial fibulation is a fib and it's a irregular heartbeat. You guys didn't know. It was this freaking smart.
No, it's really good. It's hard to be on my phone when you're talking about almost dying. I'm just.
It's all good, man.
I don't expect anything from you.
You're a piece of shit.
Where was I?
So it's caused by like an electrical rhythm.
Yeah, exactly.
Me and JJ.
So it's caused by like you're basically,
your electrical impulses in your heart are just kind of crossed over.
And it's, you know,
it's an irregular rhythm and it can be bad
because it's kind of the longer that you're in AFib,
the longer you stay in it,
if that makes sense.
So you can go in and out of AFib.
But for me, I was in AFIB for months at a time.
I didn't even realize it until kind of after.
But I reported in 2016, what was it?
2016 for OTAs.
And they do all of your stuff, you know, where they do, you know, like your height,
your weight.
And they just run you through a physical.
And then they, you know, put the electrodes on you and do the, you know,
all the.
rhythm stuff and I remember like laying down and they put all electrodes on you and you're kind of just like oh whatever like we do this shit every year like nothing's gonna pop up and the guy was like hey do you know you're an aphib and I was like uh what he's like yeah you're an aphib right now look he like shows me my thing and my like I don't think they're supposed to go to the back room yeah exactly the guy was like kind of like excited about it and I was like what's going on here man um yeah it's like a break in it was like a break in the monotony for him and it was like a break in the monotony for him and
you know
shit one of these guys is really fucked up
yeah
yeah
yeah come check this out
this bastard's never gonna play again
but I'm trying
I can't remember what the test is where they put all the electrodes on you
it's just a seat here now
anyway so
EKG yeah thank you Chris
thank you Dr. Chris
I am one dumb
guy
anyway
um
dude it's so hard
so hard
so he shows me my
my heart rate and it's like 115 or 120 when I'm like just resting laying down just you know
I mean it wasn't ridiculous but it's not ideal so anyway um thankfully like when you're a football
player you have access to some of the premier uh you know medical facilities and doctors in the world
and that's especially true in philly where there's you know some really good uh really good
uh hospitals good restaurants that can fix your heart i'm sorry to say um anyway basically i got a really
good cardiologist from Jefferson and they tried to cardiovert me which is what JJ was talking about
a little bit where they put these paddles on you and kind of just like shock the shit out of you to get
your heart back in rhythm. So they cardioverted me one time. I broke through it. They cardioverted me
another time and this one stuck and in the meantime they implanted this device. It's called a loop monitor
and it's just kind of sits like right. You guys see this here. Let me show off my shirt a little bit.
but it sits right like kind of on your heart and it's a Bluetooth thing where it records
your heart rate at all time and um transfers the data to like a little unit that sits on your
bed and then sends it directly to your doctor so i was told Bluetooth causes cancer
yeah probably so you just got a fucking you got an earpiece in there like a limo driver
you got a limo driver i had to get my heart stick in your left ventricle honestly i don't know
uh i'm pretty sure it was Bluetooth um actually here hold on a second
I was on a USB plugin.
What is it going to get the thing?
Bo is actually Tony Stark.
He has one of the things in the middle of his chest.
Yeah, exactly.
Here you go.
This is now a Medtronic ad.
Loop monitor.
Wow.
Right here.
Yeah.
So I had that sitting like right here.
So what's really interesting is like we had a big squat day and like you know I'm a huge meathead Chris.
So like huge squat day.
I was in sinus rhythm.
was great. Everything was going great.
This was before OTAs.
Went out to practice, and I was like, my leg, I was like, man, my legs are dead.
Like, I got no gas.
I thought it was just because, uh, white.
We had a big, you know, we had a big, get out of here.
We had a big day in the weight room and, like, I'm warmed up.
Like, man, I feel horrible.
Like, no energy moving so slow.
And then all of a sudden, like, we, you know, we get done with our warm up in those days.
we do like just a little jog across the field and back just kind of stride it out a little bit
and I was moving like peanut butter man stuck in the mud going so slow and everyone thought
I was joking around like like what do you do like I was a lot and then you would like we would
like we'd do the warm up there we'd like break it down like bring it in before before practice start
and we had I was like moving so slow and I was like oh something's like really wrong here
like tunnel vision bad my heart is pounding I like go to jogger
over to the D line where we're doing indie and I'm like I'm not gonna make it man so like about
halfway there um I kind of went like crashing in everybody because they're like piled around waiting
for like dude what are you doing and I like sat down and was like hey I'm like f'd up right now
like you grab like a trainer which is like something I would never say uh so long story short
I broke out at AFib my heart rate was like irregular it was like 330 Bs for minute and like
I had like a really bad tone of vision I was trying not to pass out I thought
thought that I was going to like die in the football field and they were like da-na-da-da-da-na
Eagles defensive tackle, Bo Ellen passed away tragically during OTA practice.
Like it's a voluntary practice.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Not the game.
Yeah, we're talking about practice.
So basically the cardio version didn't work and I have what's called an ablation, which is like pretty common.
They just go into your heart through your like groin.
I think your femoral artery or whatever and they go up there and they burn.
the area that's causing that irregular, you know, electrical impulse.
So I had an ablation, and I haven't had any aphib since, you know, the ablation worked
when the cardio version didn't.
And I, like, track my heart rate with, you know, different monitors and stuff now.
You know, stopped caffeine, didn't drink for a long time after that.
Actually, I stopped drinking from that point until we won the Super Bowl.
I was going to say, until Friday night, you had about 12 old fashions with me.
No, so I stopped drinking for a couple years until we won the Super Bowl.
And I was like, I'm not going to not drink when we win the Super Bowl.
So that was the first time I drank for, you know, two years or whatever it was.
Was there any like you're not going to play football again?
There was a little bit of that.
And the bigger problem was like after I had the ablation, you need to take a bunch of, you know,
they put you on a bunch of different stuff.
So like blood thinners, because you have a heightened risk of.
a lot of different complications with AFIB.
And so it's, you know, I guess the bigger issue.
You don't really know what the cause of it is.
Like, it could be, you know, genetic.
It could be caused by a bunch of different things.
But in my experience, like, the reason I couldn't.
So I missed the rest of OTAs that year because I was on blood thinners
and you can't play football when you are taking blood thinners like that because, you,
you know, you bruise easily if you have a head injury, like you'd be in really bad shape.
So I guess I'm curious to see with JJ what exactly.
they were saying to him because obviously he was emotional after that and you know it's a pretty
big deal like whenever you hear something about heart or heart surgery it's scary but yeah aphib is not
necessarily you know it's not open heart surgery right so he having it he could play i mean he's
going to continue to play and just manage this hopefully yeah according to dr allen yes um but i don't
really know i guess speaking you know from my experience like it is hard because you don't really
know what the hell is going on and when the doctor tells you that you have like a heart
problem it's pretty sobering thing 330 beats per minute like I can't even is it like
well it's like irregular so big
yeah so like I could feel oh god and then like I get I'll get I just lay down so it's not necessarily
a fun thing cheese I mean I did dude I'd never I'd never
I've never sat on a football field that way before.
Like, I sat like on my ass with my legs out like this.
You know, just how you knew I was in bad shape.
Because I'm like a tough guy.
Like, oh, don't take a knee on the field.
And I was like, oh, I'm dying.
It's like, might as well sit like this, you know.
Well, I'm glad you're okay.
I mean, holy shit.
And so, you know, there is an outlook, you know, where things are positive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't think that was necessarily the most coherent story.
But the bottom line is that, you know, I've experienced AFib.
It can be very scary.
I'm hoping that JJ's all right.
I feel for them.
I'm kind of,
I can be hard on players when they do things that are, you know,
emotional or, you know, they kind of make it about themselves and stuff like that.
But I think I can understand, you know,
JJ being obviously frightened about something like that and emotional and, you know,
just concerned about the prospect of having to suddenly stop playing football.
Like, it's a tough thing.
Well, if he needs a pass rush advice,
or AFIB advice, he can call you.
He can come on the body.

Not to end it on a downer.
It's more of an upper because look at you, man.
Like Friday night as we were slugging shots of JMO,
I never would have known you had after a night like that.
That would be a bad deal.
I'm glad you're okay.
Um, Bo Allen, appreciate the time.
Uh, next week, same time, same place.
Can't wait, man.
Oh, I can't wait either.
You made it the whole show without the F-bomb, too.
No, that was amazing.
Are we good?
Can I swear to?
Fuck yeah.
Fuck you, Chris.
Fuck you.
I did it.
Okay.
So bet on Wisconsin this weekend.
It's almost like a worst punishment.
So you've played yourself to a punishment.
The fuck out of it.
Okay.
I'm back.
Free.

with us, so
Howie,
um,
aka Dirty Harry, has joined the pod. He's
going to be
lobbing some alley-ups to
Kyle and myself
on the back half of his pod.
What's going on over there, Howie? How's Vegas?
Hot, cooling down.
Favorite part of the year?
Football season, about 85,
90 degrees.
Pool parties.
Cool parties.
Okay.
Because of a fucking weather man out here.
Hot, but cooling down, threw me for a fucking loop, Howie.
But it's probably all the weather.
Dry, dry, 85, 90 degrees?
Yeah, yeah.
Perfect.
Howie, do you want to lead with your questions?
We have a number of mailbag questions, but Howie also comes with,
he's got a very particular set of skills.
So I put together a few duties for you guys.
No answer the ones you want.
Don't answer the ones.
I'll just tell me to go first because he's chewing French fries from McDonald's.
Well, perfect.
With French fries at his mouth, go first.
Well, we'll get this started here.
So, you know, I like kind of the question of fuck Mary Kill.
So I'm going to stick with that.
We're going to, it's kind of on topic if you guys, you know.
We like topics.
If you're avid Netflix watchers, this.
I don't watch
Hero Killer movies
I know this is going
I don't like to glorify these freaks
Somebody's got to fuck Jeffrey Dahmer
Jeffrey Dahmer
John Wayne Gasey
and Ted Bundy
Okay okay
I don't know anything about these guys
Jeffrey Dahmer was a racist
And a serial killer
We're gonna kill him
Okay
Isn't that accurate
Clearly racist targeted
Targeted black kids
And
Yeah that guy's getting killed
He's getting killed
He's getting killed.
John Wayne Gacy was the Chicago-based clown.
John Wayne Gacy.
I'm going to marry him because, you know, he keeps...
Got a great sense of humor.
He keeps a light.
Okay, moving on.
And then obviously, Zach Ephron.
We talked about him on the last pod.
I'm obsessed with Zach Efron.
Effron killed a guy?
I'll just take him once.
Just me and Zach once.
So, yeah, I'll marry the clown guy.
Marry the clown.
We can share him.
We'll laugh a lot.
He'll cut my throat in my sleep.
So you're fucking Ted...
I'll be complaining about all this shit I have to do tomorrow.
I won't wake up.
He's fucking Ted Bundy then.
Yeah, Ted Bundy.
I'm fucking Ted Bundy.
Who was known as the handsome serial killer.
So there you go.
Handsome guy.
You fell victim to the old handsome serial killer.
Yeah.
Yep.
The statistics say that, you know,
that that order is
what the rest of America went with to.
So this is where we get a little,
we get into some murky water.
Oh, yeah.
I can't tell you.
says we're in the swamp
Howie. So, Jerry
Jones. Okay.
Okay. Dan Snyder
or Robert Kraft.
Okay.
Okay. I'm going to marry. I'm going to marry
Dan Snyder. He's going to
prison. How easy is that?
That's good. I get all his money.
That's good. I get his yacht. The whole thing.
Just write him letters. Come to see him. No conjugal
visits.
I think Jerry Jones would be a fun
date. It would be a... Yeah, you're fucking Jerry Jones, dude. You're effing Jerry Jones.
Like, you're going to tour to Jones. The most amazing night ever. If you're a big football fan and you say
you don't want to date Jerry Jones, you're lying to yourself because you get to go see Cowboy
Stadium. You get to meet Dak and all these guys. Yeah. Get to go on the yacht. I'm assuming he's got
the bus that pulls up everywhere. You go to the combine. Jerry Jones is there in a giant white
bus with a just huge star on it. You're like, oh, Jerry's... Robert Kraft. Oh, Robert
Kraft? I might marry Robert Kraft, Howie. He's got good values. He's a nice man.
He's kind of jacked. I saw him. He used to be in the locker room some. He's kind of jacked,
Howie. I might have to marry Robert Kraft. Wow. No, no, no, no. I want Dan Snyder's money.
He's going to prison. So I'm going to marry him. Damn, this is tough. I'm not killing Robert
Kraft for all the reasons that I just outlined. I might have to kill Jerry.
Putin steal Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring?
Robert Kraft could show you a good time, man.
That's a great story.
Putin surrounded, you don't know this?
No.
Putin surrounded Robert Kraft essentially, like they were hanging,
they were mingling at some event.
Elon Musk is like, hear him out.
So you're going to have to check me on the,
where they were,
but Kraft and Putin were hanging out.
And Putin had a couple henchmen with him.
And he was like, let me see your Super Bowl ring.
Kraft took it off.
Give me ring.
Kraft took it off. Putin took it
put it on, looked at it, walked
away with it on. No.
That's true. No.
He still has it. No way.
And Kraft went to Roger Goodell and was like,
hey, how can I get this back? And Roger Goodell was like,
let's give me. My hand.
Bro, that reminds me so much of a time that I went to one of your games
when we were kids, like in the city.
And there were some kids from another school
that I was playing pickup back.
basketball with and it was my basketball and the kid was like hey pass me that basketball and uh and he
just kept driveling and when dribbled home and like what was i going to do about it you know what i mean
man uh that reminds me what happened to to fucking yeah it's all because of your game what did you
you were at my game bro i was like 12 i feel like i had things stolen from me at your game bro i was like
howie and i used to okay i was still a punk shout out to howie y'all you all guys no i wouldn't
Maybe I was younger than 12.
We were at Greenbrier Christian watching you play in the state championship.
You were a freshman.
I must have been a fifth grader.
Howie was a fourth grader.
They had like a little dirt pile behind there.
It wasn't a fight.
It was King of the Hill.
It was like mutually agreed upon King of the Hill with Fiss with Greenbrier Christian kids.
And we're like, you know what?
We are winning in the football game and we're winning in the kids section.
In the kids section.
And you should see us play at the staff.
And we could extend this game.
Came to the NFL.
In Landover, Maryland.
I want to hear what he said.
Let's talk about Landover, Maryland, shall we?
We're in a fucking slug fest with the then-Washington Redskins.
It's like 11-9.
You know, bodies are flying.
I got to fucking really watch my ass out there.
Little do I know my brothers are fighting in the parking lot.
After the game.
Somebody said something to Mom.
Howie, go ahead, go ahead, Howie.
Well, I'm glad you did.
So someone, someone said something to mom, and I just saw Kyle just sprint like 50 yards into this group of people.
And then mom rolls in there swinging her binoculars.
No shit.
And then the gentleman that we got into it with all of a sudden were like, we're police officers.
Yeah, two horses showed up.
There were horses there.
And mom was like, fuck you!
She was like going to Nairas Targaryen like swinging shit off her dragon.
There was no dragon, but felt like there should have been a dragon.
I was on the ground about to get the shit kicked out of me.
Of course, standard.
Somebody always saves the day when you end up with the ground like that.
The two horses looked so big from the ground looking up in a fight.
I'm like, those are dinosaurs.
Yeah, and you felt like a Game of Thrones character probably.
Yeah, and I was waiting for Howie to come and just, you know,
so we lost the game on the field and in the parking lot.
We did.
We took the hell that day.
But we were heavily outnumbered.
Maybe in both instances.
So, got another one.
This one I labeled tycoons.
I love it.
Elon.
Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos,
or the fictional Tony Stark.
Okay.
Tony Stark, we're killing him.
Too many, like,
like,
wise guy comments.
I can't deal with those movies
or him in those movies.
So I'm killing him.
You don't know Elon Musk on Twitter, obviously.
Oh, I don't, I don't,
Whoa, I'm going to kill Elon Musk.
Yeah, I'm killing Elon Musk.
Because he's going to assault me on his,
on his space airplane.
You go first, Kyle.
You go first.
I'm going to, I'm going to kill Jeff Bezos.
Why, dude?
Because I think he's the most powerful person on the planet.
Marry him, dude.
I want to kill him.
Marry him.
He's kind of jacked.
He's been married.
Like, dude, he gets the packages before we get the packages.
You know how quick Amazon gives me the packages?
less fucking packages.
I'm tired of fucking unboxing,
and I'm tired of breaking down cardboard boxes.
I'm tired of recycling.
I'm tired of doing the right thing.
Good to know.
Good to know you want less packages.
Okay.
But you got a,
you would think that if you were to try to F.
Elon Musk,
he would try to upsell everything.
He would sell everything to you, right?
Like if I was trying to show out,
you would see some amazing shit.
If Elon Musk took you on a first date and he wanted to fuck you.
Oh, yeah.
He would definitely roll out the red carpet.
You'd be like, oh, you want to go to my tunnel from Los Angeles to Hawaii?
Yeah, we can get there in 30 seconds in my model Z, okay?
I just made it.
All I know is I don't know who I'm...
South African Diamond Money.
I'm going to tell you I'm going to marry Jeff Bezos for the reasons I mentioned.
So I'll fuck Tony Stark.
Because it's fake anyway.
It's fake.
Anyway, yeah.
And then I'm killing you on.
It's Metaverse.
All right.
We got a few questions here from the mailbag today.
So the next one, we've got one.
we've got what photos would you use for your teenage dirtbag trend from Steve
Strupp.
What is the teenage dirtbag trend?
Read?
Pictures that people want to see of themselves from 08.
Do they usually pick like ones that aren't embarrassing but are embarrassed?
I don't know.
You know, kind of like do they play it safe or do they really post the most cringy shit?
Some people do it right.
And that's the point of it, but most people just go with the, this is what I look like in 2009.
Yeah.
Your high space.
photos. I know
neither of you I don't think had my space.
I did. I had a top five or whatever it was.
Rivals.com picture is pretty bad
for me. I was thinking that one.
You know?
Do you remember the Rivals.com picture?
Yeah, I do. Posing in front of a truck.
Yeah, we just found a truck and thrown an A shirt.
It doesn't get tougher than that.
Bro, you had to. Because they were looking at our tape like
this kid, the school. There's just no other big kids.
So you got to look tough.
is part of surviving.
You know,
like rivals.com,
I gotta look like I'm hard.
You were a six tool player.
You had five playing tools
and a great rivals picture.
Yeah,
had a great rival's picture.
So I went to Jeff Hoss's
Package Depot location
because I knew he had a big ass truck
throw on the A shirt
and just rolled over and took,
yeah,
it was survival tactic, man,
you know?
It's good.
Yeah.
It's an iconic picture.
I was like Ryan O'Reilly and Oz.
Dude, I had to stab somebody
in the fucking neck or something
or take a tough rival's
for mine and they were just like hey
look at me yeah look at them and I was like
and they're like good
it didn't take much to
impress I was just like probably ADD
after the game running around I was like I don't know
you man you were you were you were
you were big and imposing Kyle you could just
you could take a picture in a bunny
suit in a bunny suit I had
I had one of those default photos where it's just
like an image with like a the
outline of a face on mine you were Tom
from my space you were a shadow program
guy. Shadow program, man. And leave my
man Gabe Jackson out of this next question. Smelliest
hair you've played against or with. Smelliest player I've played with or against.
You're in O'Lyman. You've definitely played with some people who are a musty.
I don't know if he was smelly, but just gross when he played. Josh didn't have a rag he wore
around his neck in the meeting room, which is air conditioned. And there's like cold water
and everything. And he's just dabbing sweat off his head. The whole year. And doing the big
Huffy puffs like if he missed a block.
Spit everywhere.
Dab his heads, you know, spit his dip, make a big deal of it.
Tremendous player, funny, but always had the rag.
Good player.
What team did you both always want to play for when you got to the NFL from Leviticus Cornbread?
God, this is so topical because the only football card that I have on my mantle still is a Brett
Farf card.
I was a big Packers fan.
He was a huge.
My godfather was Sean Jones or is Sean Jones, and he was a D-line teammate of my dad,
but he played for the Packers when they won the Super Bowl.
I went to Lambo for the NFC championship when they beat the Panthers.
And yeah, Brett Farv was cool to me that day.
Obviously, he has been not cool to people since.
Yeah, people in general not cool to.
But I wanted to be a Packer, and then to get to go to the Bears was awesome.
And dad explained to me how important the Chicago Bears were to the NFL.
and I was like, fuck the Packers, man.
It's a charter franchise, Kyle.
The Crown Jewel franchise are the words he uses.
That was a big Panthers fan.
You were.
It was a huge Panthers fan, dude.
Like legitimately would tear up over the Panthers.
White defensive ends.
Yeah, they had some.
Tim Biaka Batuka, Fred Lane, God rest of soul, Wesley Walls.
Fucking Mike Rucker.
I haven't heard you say that name in a decade at least.
Two decades.
Chris Jenkins, Julius Peppers, obviously, Dan Morgan.
There's a whole bunch of dudes.
Huh?
Sam Mills?
No, Hall of Fame or outside linebacker played for the...
Kevin Green.
Kevin Green.
Yeah, Kevin Green.
He was nice to me.
The story akin to Kyle's Brett Farf story.
I went down there for a...
Dad did a feature down there, and he was like, you want to go?
And I was like, it's fucking Christmas.
and I got to meet Kevin Green
and all Kevin Green did was live a life of excellence
and was good to everyone and your guy
turned out to be a real shit bag
for up a Raiders fan
and went to the Super Bowl versus the bucks
and we got our dicks kicked in
and I didn't get to
Yeah
Dad got cussed out on the way out of that game
You guys remember this, we were walking out
And they were like we're leaving in the third quarter
Dad's got like three kids
trying to get them out of the Super Bowl
before the Raiders riot outside the stadium
and these fans are like, fuck you, Howie,
we're going to tell Raider Nation about you,
pussy. We're going to fucking report
you to Raider Nation, brother!
And my dad was like, they got real passionate fans.
Raiders love their team, man. You got to just respect that
and just keep your head down and move, you know.
You got to respect that. And I was like,
fuck those guys, dude.
So we got,
this one's a little broad, favorite
off-field memory.
After playing eight years in Chicago, you know, I retired, I came back, I joined the Chiefs,
I trained all offseason, and then I became buddies with Pat and Travis.
I got invited to Pat's golf tournament in Hawaii for the Patrick Mahomes Foundation.
The 15 and the Mahomes Foundation put on a luau out there in a golf tournament, and it was fabulous,
and it was better than any Pro Bowl or playoff game or getting to hang out with those guys
in a real environment.
and their play on the field matches up with their way they are off the field.
They're great dudes.
And I can root for them.
They're easy guys to root for.
So the easy answer is off the field, best thing was golf tournament, Hawaii, Patrick, and Travis.
Off the field memory.
Beat that, Chris.
Marrying my wife, Meg.
Oh, I thought we were staying.
Okay, good.
Touche.
Next question.
No, no, actually, honestly, outside of Mary,
my wife maggie was um making my child it was my children um okay but if we're talking about like
bullshit i did with my teammates uh and with my friends some of who are in this room right now uh it's going
to bonneroo dude when we'd go to bonnero like dola sammy b lane went one year uh i mean we just
we would get together and it'd be like my best friends from back home we always talk about these
Bonneroo trips, we'd go, we'd stay in a bus, Meg was there, like a couple of her friends were
there, and it really started with me and Bradford going, and then Amandola and eventually, like,
whoever would go. So it was a blast, like three days. It was like the break between, like,
mini camp and OTAs and train camp. It was annual. That's my favorite memory. Oh, the fishing thing.
Yeah, we've got a video. We got to, do you want to explain this video?
There is a big travesty in the fishing community.
There was a video the other day.
Two fishermen, they're competing as one team.
They're weighing their fish.
The head of this fishing tournament, he was like, yo, those fish you guys caught and weighed in at like 35 pounds.
They look like 20 pound fish.
So he cuts them open.
Boom.
Fishing weights in these fish.
Also fish fillets.
These fishermen, this team had stuffed these fish.
these fish full of weights and fish fillets like they bought at the store apparently well so now
their previous wins are in question this would have been like a 30 grand prize if they had won this
tournament their previous wins are are in question now in the in the video the second a weight is
pulled out of a fish's mouth all the other competitors erupt in f bombs and you're going to
Dude, it was like a South Park episode, dude.
Those guys could do South Park voiceovers.
You've done the absolute worst thing possible.
You fucking cheater!
You're gonna kill your fucking family!
You got all that fucking money?
You got that new boat?
Fuck you, man!
This one guy was like, you were talking shit to me and you do this, bro!
Wait a minute!
He was just standing there.
This guy's name is like Jake.
He's just standing there.
Like, he's just frozen.
He's like, I have...
the rest of my life, I'd rather be dead, bro.
Because,
his life is fishing.
Let these guys get out of here.
Remember that guy?
He was like,
I don't want these guys to get hurt.
We're not doing anything.
He was the head of the tournament.
He was the head of the fishing team.
Let him get out of here.
Guy was all class, man.
And he was right.
You know,
take the fucking high road.
But I will say this,
guys,
if you think this guy needs his title stripped and that sort of thing,
and he needs to give his money back,
then I think you need,
you need to go after Mark McGuire
and you need to go after
because all I hear this week
when people were like Aaron Judge
is the new home run king people were like
yeah beat it nerd you know like
fucking steroids who cares
fish weights who cares
stuff more weights in your fish

Fishing interesting
he does that the sport
needed this when's the last time we had to
talk bass fishing.
What was the last time you got your bass tracker?
This guy's not even in Jimmy Houston's league.
They're doing walleye fishing.
No disrespect to Joe Thomas.
But they're not even, they're not even.
Is he a sport fisherman now?
Yeah, he's like fucking big time wall I got skinny.
So yeah, dude, I'm over it.
I'm over it.
Well, I got a little, little story for you.
Okay.
So I maybe was 14 and mom and I were
looking for something to do in Montana.
I had been there for like a month.
This is not how, this is, okay, continue.
Mom and I decided to enter in a fishing tournament.
We had no idea what the fuck we were doing.
But we were out on the boat all day, not catching anything.
We went over and we boat with two guys and just reeling in probably like 25 pound fish all day.
So we went and we paid them for two of their biggest fish.
That's amazing.
We did not turn the tournament, but we did come home and tell all of you that.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay, so that's not a code break.
That's not a code break at all.
And I was like, mom would not do some shit like this.
But like, if you had turned those fish in, I don't know, man.
I think I wanted to.
Mom drew the latter.
Now, you bring them home to fuck with us.
That's fair game.
Sweet.
I've been worried about that one.
I had no idea that that happened.
