We're talking about the Manning cast because I managed not to just totally embarrass myself last night.
And we were trying to figure out who we'd want to see.
on the Manning cast.
Matthew Stafford, okay, LeBron James, Nick Saban, and say like Pat McAfee would be really
entertaining.
I knew that had to be the punchline.
Hey, Mike.
Hey.
I'd like to read a statement real quick.
Oh boy.
Okay.
Last week was National Daughters Day.
And I want to be the first to officially wish Macon's daughter redacted
happy national daughter's day. I love you redacted.
Cut my mic. Cut it back on. He can talk now. I just didn't want you to have to like try to cut
me off and save face. You totally miss that. And I also want to wish my son's a happy
National Sun's Day real quick. I had a whole response prepared for this last show,
but my desktop is so organized right now that I can't locate all of my notes. So do you know
what I did on a National Daughters Day?
What'd you do? Spent time with my daughter.
That's great. You know?
Yeah.
We don't play around with these dopey holidays.
They're not holidays.
Like which ones?
National Daughters Day.
Tough scene.
Today we have Mina Kimes and we're going to talk about the Manning cast, but she's going to be on
the show today.
Hackensack, New Jersey.
Hello!
Kind of sounds like hacky sack.
Do you remember that?
I never hacky sacked.
Never had hacky sacks, never hacky sacked.
All the little stoner kids did.
Right.
That's right.
Did you do pogs?
Um, yeah, hell yeah, I did pogs.
I didn't really do that either.
Slambers, pogs, the whole nine yards.
I loved them, had no idea how it worked.
Never played them, just collected them.
Didn't play a single game of pogs, but had like a million pogs, bro.
Yeah.
Just piles of poggs, never play with them.
Pogs.
Pogs.
It's such a funny word, isn't it?
Pogs.
Yeah.
Yeah, say it again.
Pogs.
Do you like Pogs?
No, no, no, no, I don't.
I like baseball cards.
Layup line.
If we talk about money, baby, now we're talking.
We've got Little Wayne's birthday.
So we go money on my mind.
And Makin, you are getting a game check today.
Congratulations.
Oh, this is like when the walk on.
When the walk on gets a scholarship.
I text Macon last night.
My producers say,
hey,
we got a really good interview
with Justin Ren in the can,
but you might have a lot of football people tuning in
because you were on the big screen on Monday night
in the fourth quarter of a blowout.
So I don't know that that many people
are actually going to be tuning in,
but I text Macon and I say,
hey, can I get you a pinch hitter on a Wednesday?
And he says,
I don't want to be an asshole,
but can I get a game check?
Yeah.
Okay, Reed, do you have something to hand me?
Yes, because it's fair that,
It is in your contract that you don't do Wednesdays,
but here are some charges that are not covered in making Gunner's contract either.
This is funny as fuck.
This is all the meals I've had of late here.
Okay, well, we can deduct that from a game check, no problem.
You know, game check's greater than this.
You want to read it off?
Sure.
You want the actual meals?
Sujuck platter.
Yeah, sujuck platter.
Bolo.
Did I get the Bolo?
Yeah.
Kill Caesar missing.
By the way.
One aqua poth.
I don't know.
Pulled pork platter.
This is funny.
This is funny stuff, guys.
It's good stuff.
This, uh,
it looks like a real bill.
Do you want me to read because it is?
The terms and conditions?
Yeah, sure.
Delivery will be made within 30 days following chalk media receipt of payment.
Delivery will be made up, like of my game check.
30 days.
I don't get paid within six months around here.
And let me tell you something.
I moved mountains to be here today, okay?
And I don't want to hold that over your head, but we signed a contract.
Hey,
You're, hey, one show a week while he's in Montana.
Mugher motherfucker comes back early from Montana to do more podcasts.
Hey, you won't have to podcast.
Due to a forest fire.
You won't have to podcast during vacation.
I was displaced, bro.
I was displaced.
I'm in a bathroom doing podcasts on vacation.
Hey, hey, it's only Sunday and Thursday during the NFL season.
Okay, I'll sign up.
I'll sign up for that.
In here on a Tuesday.
And hey.
more like goodbye fresh because those ad reads aren't in the contract are they yeah but there's
also they're not hitting my bank account either you want to do that uh that ad read that we were
supposed to have you do today yeah i'll uh i'll hit that hello fresh ad read hello fresh
thank you that's good that's all you had to do a million dollars read you'll never see it pal
you'll never see it hey man i love you buddy hey i love you too and
It's such a pleasure to be here.
I do this from the love of the game.
Yeah, for sure.
For sure.
Hey, housekeeping.
Yeah, housekeeping.
Thanks to the folks at Asheville Brewing Company for actually sending me something for doing this podcast.
What did you get?
An extra large t-shirt I won't be able to wear.
What it's sound is.
Love is love.
Isn't that you're saying?
It is.
They'll be hearing from my attorney.
He's sending him back an invitation to liaise with your, with your entertainment.
Yep.
Lawyer.
Yep.
Oh, that's good.
Hey, I got something you could send us.
I want more flannel.
So send them to P-O-Box, 21-50 Y Street, 5267 is the number.
And it's Charlottesville, Virginia, 22905.
And that was Wise W-I-S-E, and I'm a medium, good people.
You don't wear flannel as much, do you?
I would.
Okay.
It's hard to find the collar is the problem.
Because you want a button on that bad boy?
Yeah.
you do i don't know it doesn't matter if there's a fucking
i just different colored squares on it and it's comfy i'm wearing it in the fall i just need
a collar to stand up a little straighter yeah that's my problem with the flannel i will wear
i will wear your flannels man you send me a flannel from i don't know like wherever i'm wearing
what size do you want uh i'm a cowboy reed is a large cowboy reed is a large cowboy reed is a large
crunchy ass reed will take flannels yeah you hear that he flannels now you're speaking
his love language.
I mean, do you have any more room in a closet for another flannel?
Flannels and like camping food that you get at REI.
That's his love language.
Oh, boy.
Damn right.
I can put these flannels over my tie-dye locking t-shirts.
So send us some flannels, man.
We'll wear your flannels on the air.
It's fall, dude.
It's getting cool out.
It's getting chilly.
I had that first fall night where you don't know what to wear.
You know what I mean?
Oh, see, I carry around this.
Piles of clothes on my in my closet table there.
I carry around this wrap all the time with me.
So, so no matter the temperature, I'm in good shape.
Another item in the housekeeping, we are deciding the restaurant that Taylor and Cassandra
will be attending.
We have to go pick up Cassandra from redacted here in Charlottesville.
Oh, when are you getting Cassandra?
Probably to, I'll get her tonight.
Does she come inflated?
Or do you have to blow her up?
I'll probably take care of that.
How awkward is the act of blow?
blowing up a blow-up doll.
I told Taylor I would take that one.
You got to have like a pump or something
because you don't want to be sitting there just
blowing into some plastic woman's ass.
Where do they put the hole that you got to blow into?
Definitely not one of the inputs.
Oh, I would put it right next to the input
to make it super awkward for everybody
that consumes my product.
Probably by her like calf.
You probably get off on that actually.
Come to think of it.
All right, you guys guess, guess, where do you think the input?
it is or the the blow up hole like like an ankle i'll go i'll go behind the left the left knee
yeah like achilles ankle but it's something to think about you know i've never bought one and
obviously uh the the context is that jags broncos the two favorite teams of these respective
geniuses here behind the table they uh they were gracious enough to create some content and bet on
the game and uh reed was victorious surprise surprise so what a day for reed he might get some
flannels. His partner in crime is going to go to the, we'll determine which restaurant right now.
Right now.
With Cassandra.
But you got to deflate Cassandra at the end.
One more reminder, Taylor.
You can't take her home.
Okay.
This isn't like a gift.
This, you're losing a bet.
Okay.
So I have a hat here full of Charlottesville restaurants.
Okay.
We're going to draw three and then we're going to choose the one that tickles our fancy the most.
Okay.
Three total?
Yeah.
Okay.
Three total.
Okay.
You want to do the honors, big boy?
Well, I think you want to get your paws in there.
Yeah, probably two, and you can bookend it.
I'll let you, I'll let you draw two of them.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
You did them at the same time.
That's fucking awesome.
All right.
Look, here we go.
What you got, Mike?
Oh, geez.
I hope you got something good.
I got something good.
Okay.
You're going to be the big winner.
No offense.
So these two lovely establishments,
Burton's Bar and Grill
and Citizen Burger Bar
Citizen Burger Bar
might not be bad
Well traffic
Citizen Burger Bar
is
I mean
there's an outside area
that's right in the middle
of the pedestrian mall
It's true
Prime location
I think
I think
And this is good
We have choices
Because this is Tavala
Oh
I was thinking in there
If I had like my number one
Overall pick
It would be
Those of us cultured folks
We'd call it Tavala
But yeah Tavala
It's whatever it's
Tavola. Yeah.
Well, some say Tavola and that's when you know you're a...
But what you're saying is not wrong about Citizen.
Yeah, it's a lot of traffic.
So Tavola is in Belma?
Yes.
So that's a consideration.
I mean, it's not a pedestrian type place depending on when you...
But one of our nicest restaurants.
It is a nice restaurant, so I hear.
Anyways, I vote Citizen Burger Bar.
I do too just because more eyes on Taylor and Cassandra.
And you got to get the burger well done.
There's no like, ah, I want it moving.
Like, you know, like it can be as pink as you want it.
No, you got to get it well done.
You got to sit there for a little bit.
Get your minds out of the gutter.
Make and made a face.
What was that face about, huh?
My faces on a podcast are private.
Please don't tell the people about my faces.
Guys videotaping a podcast.
Welcome to content creation 2021.
Speaking of.
Yeah.
Congrats, Taylor.
Speaking of,
Jalen Hertz,
create some content.
Yeah, he did.
You take you a deuce.
You don't sit there and look at it.
You flush it and move on.
We're going to flush it and move on.
That's the way you give them nothing and give him something at the same time.
Like,
that is the most nothing quote,
but it's also something.
Terrific rhythm and cadence to that sound bite.
You got to like,
when you decide that that's what you're going to say,
you got to deliver it clean.
That was beautiful.
beautifully said.
Beautifully said by Jaylen Hurts.
However.
Examining the color and consistency is key to ensuring your good health, Jalen.
The typical color of your stool is likely in the medium brown range.
If you produce something quite light or nearly black, something's up.
Now, as for consistency, Chris, once you've established what is your regular,
pay attention to any stool that is substantially harder or softer.
Remember, you used to have a poo log where you,
You would draw your bowel movements.
Is that right?
You gifted it to me.
You gave me a book called a poop log.
Poo log.
Yeah, poo log.
I never actually used it.
I never used it, too.
That cost me like $22 plus shipping and handling to St. Louis.
We know what the dollar means to you.
So I'm sorry.
But Jalen Hertz, man.
A lot of people do look at it.
You should look at it.
If you let it go, how will you know?
Right.
All those things that may can just describe.
So they could be going on.
That's watching film.
That's watching film.
That's watching film.
That's film study.
So I don't know if he's saying that like we're not going to watch film after this loss, but they probably should.
Probably should.
But a clean delivery.
Clean.
You take you a deuce.
Take you a deuce.
I cannot believe.
And allegedly that was a Kobe Bryant quote to the Eagles in 17.
He said that to us in the hotel?
He said, I, uh,
What do you do you take a shit?
Do you stare at it or do you flesh it?
You flush it and move on.
No, you stare at it.
Where were you on that one?
I'm pretty sure Michael Jordan stares at his shit, dude.
You know.
No doubt about it.
All due respect to the Mamba who, man, he was awesome.
I missed that whole thing.
The poop thing.
Hey, the Phillies, man, two and a half games back.
A monster bet that I laid at the worst possible time about a month ago.
Just to make the playoffs?
The chickens are coming home.
home to Roos, no is to win the division.
Yeah, the NLEs.
They're two and a half games back.
They play the Braves.
They've got three games.
Got to win them all.
Do the math.
Yeah.
No, it's all out there for you.
It seems like just yesterday you picked the Phillies as your club.
I picked the Blue Jays.
And we're both in a, in the fight,
fight for our lives.
Blue Jays, one game out of the wild card.
And you, as you said, two and a half out.
I, can I tell you something?
Yeah, sure.
I, um, you might have seen the clip from, from,
at Greenlight.
I lost a unit on Monday night football.
Yeah.
When the Niners scored to make the overhit.
I also lost a unit last night.
I teased up the over on Monday night football to get to 58 and a half.
Can I tell you something?
Yeah.
I've never seen you like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, bad.
From Sunday night.
Like you were itching.
You were like twitching and itching, dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think there's a win bet cool down button that Matt and I were talking about.
Yeah.
Maybe you should just hammer that.
No, and I was texting with Kingston and I said I've officially retired from gambling.
About six minutes later, I had put four units on the Washington Nationals money line at minus 210 when they were up one run on the Rockies on the road and the bottom of the eighth with a runner on.
They were pitching with a runner on.
He's live betting baseball.
Four units. And it got dicey.
This is like the time I bet a flames total in Vegas.
It's just a bad.
It's a bad, bad situation.
Well, Nats pulled it out five to four.
Thank God.
I'm essentially back to even on this entire experience.
And I'd like to not do this anymore.
Download bet.
Lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, and retire, you know?
Support my, uh, my gambling buddy here.
Moving forward.
The good thing is most of the money, you are lose, lose, lose, lose, losing.
is Greenlight POD's money.
If you ask my wife, that's right.
And that wasn't in the contract,
so I'm going to need all that money back.
I've actually gotten that written down from folks.
Phillies have a 13% chance
to win the division.
And make the playoffs.
We got this.
We got this, guys, we got this.
Also, quick note,
we'll talk more about this on Friday.
But me versus the houses,
the cucks versus the houses and fantasy.
You know about that, huh?
And you have been hoping that I wouldn't say anything.
I can't wait to talk about your shitty,
shitty, shitty, shitty fantasy team, dude.
For once, you're not good, and I am loving it.
I am two and one, to be fair.
You're three and no.
You are favored to win by 21 points.
You're the Carolina Panthers.
I'm sure, wow.
They're three and oh, so con.
Well, whatever they are, they're not that good.
No, I was going to bring it up on Friday.
We're going to talk to me in a comms about that.
Hey, how are we celebrating National Daughters' Day?
getting addicted to gambling.
This is amazing.
Kingston.
Monday night football, ESPN 2.
You were on the Manning cast.
I have dozens of thoughts.
Okay.
I guess first for you,
this is like a press conference.
You can make an opening statement.
I was pitting out.
I was nervous.
I was like bad nervous.
Like at like 6 o'clock, man.
I don't like that.
stuff. I mean, I had fun because it's Peyton and Eli and I love those guys, but hey, you can
ruin your entire career from the comfort of your own home studio. It's not like, it's a weird,
it's a weird feeling. And I know that the hardest job on the planet is to make motherfuckers happy
during Monday night football. And I'm sitting there and I see the lineup and I'm falling,
I'm batten cleanup behind Matt Stafford, who's the most popular guy in the NFL right now.
Libran James.
Lebron James.
Lebron James.
You know, possibly the greatest basketball player of all time.
And then Nick Save him.
So I'm sitting there like the board looks like a meme.
The board that they posted with the four names, it looks like a meme.
It looks like I Photoshop that, like the guys on Greenlight Pod,
Photoshop that and put it my name there below those caps.
I was just waiting and praying that this wouldn't happen for your sake for Peyton to say tonight we have Matt Stafford
LeBron James Nick Saban and former St. Louis Ram, New England Patriot and Philadelphia Eagle Chris Long as if you needed the introduction
You were the lone one in the group who we needed to tell the audience who they actually did intro me by by my teams at one point did you catch that
But they missed one which tells me that the whole country doesn't know I played eight years
in St. Louis.
When were you made aware of the lineup?
I was made aware of the lineup like a day ago.
Because like a week ago, you said you were second quarter and then it was fourth quarter.
Yeah, they moved me to the fourth.
They wanted to save the best for last, you know what I mean?
Yeah, that is what I texted.
They saved the best podcaster for last.
Try to buoy your spirits there.
Yeah.
When I first saw you, I saw earbuds and like a microphone and the camera way up close.
The people with the earbuds, they really noticed the earbuds.
thing. Well, I was like, uh-oh.
Like is, do we have
A. B trouble? Cowboy Reed crushed
it. It was all ready for me here. Except for the over
modulation at the beginning, Cowboy Reed.
He was loud his first word.
His first word or two.
Each one of the three previous were loud
their first word as well. Except for Nick Sayden
he was quiet. Everybody else
jumping off a bridge. You jumping off a bridge, Reed?
Well, no. Hey, I send it in. ESPN
does what they do. Kind of like what you're doing
with gambling. So answer your own question.
I, the ear, I was proud
to not wear AirPods on the on the manning cast like for me it's not even a conversation in my
head like really if cowboy didn't help me I would have showed up with no headphones but if you told
me to put headphones on I'm putting the old plug them in ones I don't trust Bluetooth man I don't like
Bluetooth I don't trust it and I don't know how it works so I just naturally was like let me put
on these headphones and people online loved it they found me to be an every man type of game
caster. Hey, I saw two prolific sackmasters on the telecast. You, of course, and then Archie
Manning's gonads. Yeah, they blurred those out. They couldn't blur out the birds, though, huh?
We bury the lead. The meme that might last forever, Eli and the double birds. I fell into that
meme, huh? And like literally, if you just take a screenshot of the left side of the screen, your name is
right above the double birds, which I'm going to use a lot. In perpetuity.
man yes that's incredible good for you yeah something you have something i but like honestly it was so
funny to me because it was the first time he flipped the birds i was kind of watching the game
laughing at what he was saying and the second time i was like oh my god holy shit he's actually
like he is he is giving america the middle finger dude like i've never seen that on a broadcast
before and it was at that moment that i realized i've been wrong about eli all along i love this guy
I never disliked him, but I never, I never, like, thought about him possibly being unintentionally or intentionally funny as hell.
Well, yeah, he was like, we can blur these out, right?
And he was so funny that I laughed through the apology.
I couldn't help it, dude.
And it was a tough.
I was expecting Nick Castellanos to hit home run.
Yes.
Yes.
I mean, fuck, dude.
When I looked back at it, I was like, man, the guy was earnestly trying to apologize.
I was just thinking to myself, like, are we?
really apologizing for showing somebody your middle finger in the middle of a blowout on a Monday
night like 1130 at night if if somebody who hasn't seen double birds is up at 1130 a night
I need to talk to their parents yeah I mean it's the manning cast this isn't the the main
broadcast shit gets weird yeah I didn't watch the main broadcast for a for a single second
and people are texting me today they're like hey man good job on the manning cast like oh my
motherfuckers like me now, huh? Keep it to yourself. I don't want anybody to like me. Oh, you want to
review? Yeah. Okay, a little stiff. Yeah. Appreciate it. Thank you. I, yeah. Well, no, I expected to see
you sitting back in the chair, relax. Yeah. High on drugs. I was leaning up. I wasn't high. I did not get high.
Not at all. Not at all, no. Yeah, that's, that's where that was your first mistake. Yeah, well.
And Peyton, Peyton had fallen asleep by the fourth quarter. I know. He was just, he was so upset with the football.
He was so mad when things would happen
that he didn't like from a football perspective.
Call time out, Mike.
And then he's gearing you up to call a pass rush play-by-play
whenever we get to a third down
and then it's third and one.
And he's like,
damn it,
I don't care what the distance is.
What are you thinking is a past rush?
You're calling a pass rush on third and one.
I mean,
that was a good steer out of it by you
because you're like the quick snap.
I was like, hey,
I'm buckling my chin strap,
Peyton.
That was good.
Thank you.
I thought that was one of my better moments.
But my whole mindset coming in was don't talk over those guys and don't steal the show.
Don't try to steal the show.
It's not my podcast.
You know, I was trying to be a wingman.
Yep.
No, I thought you were, you were above average.
The best way that somebody described it, and I was very proud of this tweet that this guy sent me, he was like, hey, I was watching with my uncle.
He really didn't like the two guys before you, but he had no opinion on you.
So that was like the best possible outcome for me.
Like nobody came away hating me.
I didn't ruin my career.
And, you know, maybe, I don't know, maybe we get more popular here.
Maybe there's five to seven new people listening to this podcast right now.
If it's you, thanks for coming.
Yeah, welcome.
You were on there a long time.
I mean, they escort some guests out of there right quick.
Yeah, no, I was happy to be on there.
I think they were just kind of over the blowout.
And they were like, this guy can go for a while.
Hey, the LeBron's high school quarterback really caught astray, huh?
of astray.
I mean, I think he got shot.
I think he was.
I think he got shot and somebody walked back over and made sure they finished him.
My guy was executed.
Yeah, like it was like the Manning's unintentionally shit on him.
I think it was Peyton.
One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time shits on you in one second.
And then the next second, LeBron catches the yoop.
Yeah.
Your friend LeBron, dude.
If he was any better, I'd still be playing football.
Dude, I was hoping LeBron would have like a glass of wine
so I could light up a cone before I went on there.
But yeah, no.
We talked about you maybe saying love is love to close it out
after LeBron just said love.
I did not.
Well, you know, my attorneys would have been up your ass.
Very quickly.
But you went, y'all take care of which I really appreciate it.
Yeah, that was a request from you.
That was good.
And you were wearing a St. Louis tea, which I also appreciated it.
Yeah, yeah.
You pulled that up at some point because it wasn't visible there for a while.
Oh, no, I just.
sat up a little bit. I tried to un-stiffing.
Yeah. How close was the camera?
It was a laptop right on me. So it was a laptop.
It was hard to sit back.
You, we have this whole setup here. It couldn't.
Boy, you are really micromanaging read today, huh?
No, no, no. It came off great. It came off great read. And Chris, you were fine.
Nah, it was, it was totally fine.
We can Skype with ESPN. We can zoom with ESPN, but we can't FaceTime from the studio.
This is FaceTime?
Yeah, it's FaceTime.
This whole setup is FaceTime?
No, dude.
Last night was FaceTime.
That thing is done on FaceTime.
That's wild.
It's done on FaceTime.
That's wild.
Yeah, I know.
Scary, dude.
That's how I call my brother when I'm drunk.
It's also how I call the Mannings to talk about football in front of the entire country.
Or, you know, a couple million people at that point.
Did you prefer that it was 41 to 14 and in the fourth quarter?
I think that I think that's fun.
People get really mad when a game's in phase.
So this was a soft landing for me.
And you were there when the overhead, and you made note of it, which was good.
Connected with the people.
Yeah, connected with the people.
With the AirPods, the gambling, with us degenerates.
Hey, Mina Kimes is going to join us.
We'll ask her who she should want to see on the Manning cast,
because I think we were going to do this exercise ourselves.
Well, hey, the three of us, let's do it.
Okay.
After years of fine print contracts and getting ripped off by big wireless providers,
if we've learned anything, it's that there's always a catch.
So when I first heard that Mint Mobile offers premium wireless service starting at just 15 bucks a month,
I thought, what's the catch?
But after speaking with them and using their service, it all made sense.
There isn't a catch, okay?
Mint Mobile's secret sauce is that they're the first company to sell wireless service online only.
By cutting out retail stores, there's no crazy overhead costs that get passed down to you in the form of mystery fees.
Instead, Mint just passes on sweet savings direct to you.
Look, guys, Mint Mobile is a really good deal.
You get premium wireless for just $15 a month.
You can keep your same phone number along with your existing contact,
so there's no headaches involved.
I love that.
The best part is Mint Mobile has a seven-day money-back guarantee.
To get your new wireless plan for just $15 bucks a month
and get the plan shipped to your door free,
go to mintmobile.com slash greenlight.
That's mintmobile.com slash greenlight.
Cut your wireless bills to 15 bucks a month at mintmobile.com slash greenlight.
Mina, what's up?
Hello?
I mean, yeah, please don't.
Makin, it's not, you can't just do this with love is love and the word hello.
Hello.
They're not your words.
That's my IP.
Okay, dude.
But I will lend it.
Yeah, hello.
He took love is love the other day.
Well, that might be problematic.
for you to take it.
Thank you.
All right.
Mina Combs, thanks for joining us.
We're talking about the Manning cast
because I managed not to just totally embarrass myself last night.
And we were trying to figure out who we'd want to see on the Mina cast, on the Manning cast.
Freudian slip, it should be the Mina cast.
But if it stays the Manning cast, who would you want to see?
What I've realized is I don't want anyone like grinding for.
football stuff or, you know, giving like very like well shot out opinions. I mostly want to see
someone who would make Eli Manning freak out or confuse him, like, which is, um, like I'm really
enjoying the whole, the whole thing, the production. I like listening to them talk is amazing.
You were excellent. But watching Eli, uh, like navigating interactions with people, you, he
obviously doesn't normally.
LeBron. LeBron.
Well, yes.
So I'll take that another level and say my top choice is Lil Nas X.
Lil Nas X.
Incredible.
Some of the pop culture minefields that would come over.
So, Lil Nas.
I can hear it now.
Where did you get the inspiration for all of those horses in the back?
Dude, he freaking asked LeBron, what year is this going to be for you?
like are you are you in year it's what I'm like everybody knows what what year this is for
lebron he goes you're still one of the he goes lebron you're still one of the best players in the
world i was like i was like i love him oh man uh yeah i do you think he knows who linux exes though
probably not yeah probably he's probably heard the song he you meana said uh marshall
lynch would be great and i agree but his audio is usually like it's a crap shoot
Like, that's the reason Marshawn Lynch isn't on everything on God's green earth because he's
one of the most talented people I've ever met. But he is not a like consistent Zoom background guy.
Yeah, that's a real limiting factor these days.
Speaking of though, I mean, Saban, like how, I guess in some ways it's a little bit of a flex to
not be good at Zoom at this point in the pandemic to be like, I'm so busy preparing for.
Ole Miss. I don't care about lighting. I never bought a ring light. I'm totally content looking
like shit because I'm Nick Saban and it's believable and it was hard to look at for 15 minutes
or however long they had him on, but it was definitely on brand. I feel like his lighting was like
when you stare at the TV long enough, you forgot it got dark out and your lights are all off. Like
that was that was what was going on with Nick Saban. I have a few lineups. Yeah, you do? Yeah. I'm going to say
this one first because Mina's not going to say
anything and then you're going to look all awkward
and you're probably going to cut it from the show. I would
do Steve Levy
followed by Brian Greasy
followed by Lewis Riddick
followed by Jimmy Petaro saying
all y'all guys are fired
that'd be fun. I'd also
really like
did Mina leave? Did Mina's left?
She can't deal with you. He's ducked out of the frame.
I'd also really like Matthew Stafford
okay
LeBron James
Nick Saban
and say like
Pat McAfee
would be really entertaining
I knew that had to be
the punch line
yeah
you know I don't
I don't even want
compliments last night
because they all were finished
with like replies
that were like
no actually Pat McAfee
like okay dude
I don't
I don't want to be on the show
the way I see it
like you and McAfee
are very different
but you're also
white former football player
who podcast
so it's like
you're kind of
occupied
the similar space, but not at all.
Yeah, I love this.
It's like a little complicated.
He's like the, he's like the energetic version of you and you're like the chill
version, like the different.
Yeah, he's high energy.
I could not, I could not, he has to stand up to podcast.
I mean, the guy's bouncing off the walls.
I don't know how he picked the position that moves around the least and he's got to move
constantly.
His brain is just his pinball mode.
That's exactly.
And that's what makes him good at it.
And he's been storing up energy standing on sidelines for his whole fucking life.
Yeah.
He's just been like bottling it up.
He's stored it up.
You were out there with your hand in the dirt, Chris.
Yeah.
I'm tired.
I'm tired.
I'm on drugs.
Your brain is in the couch.
Yeah.
In the couch.
Hey, uh, Mena,
Chargers,
my side team.
Uh,
I think we both love Justin Herbert.
America's side team.
America's side team.
But we were there first, I think.
How could you not be with those uniforms?
The only thing I,
negative,
I have to say about the uniforms is they're all so sick that you can't, there's not a bad one.
Yeah, that we were considering like doing a little throwback ranking in honor of the 49ers,
kind of like mid-90s, they've been rolling out lately, Steve Young's, like from that Super Bowl that
wasn't even competitive against the Chargers. The problem with the Chargers throwbacks are,
their new uniforms are so great. I'm like, eh. I guess they call it Midnight Blue, but that one,
those are my favorites. Oh, I like those too with the Ladanian Toblinson and, like,
dark blue ones. I don't get enough love.
How about the team though? Are they going to win the division now?
Are we supposed to like just accept that because
they kind of have Kansas City's number and they're improved.
They've got a new coach. They don't lose. Well, we thought
they weren't going to lose games the old Chargers way
that they're now shoe-ins
to at least compete for this thing.
Kansas State turned the ball over four times and they still
almost won. Like,
you know, I mean,
I think Kansas City is
messing around too
much, which is a nice
way of saying they got to stop turning the ball over.
I mean, the defense is not good. It doesn't really matter.
But I still think
they're going to win the division. I think the charges are a
playoff team. And like I think they've got
the pieces to actually win
a playoff game or two. But I still
think Kansas City is better. Yeah, my thing is
like, yes, Kansas City
turned the ball over four times.
Still almost won. Yes, they messed around.
But like, this has kind of become a little bit of who they are
for much of the regular season.
And that's a way to like, they're living
real dangerously. And, and
A lot of those turnovers are like Patrick just being like as a result of the way the charges match up with them.
Hey, fuck it.
Like I'm frustrated.
I'm just going to.
You know what I mean?
I'm going to throw a moonball and just see if somebody can come down with it because I'm frustrated.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, that's it.
I think I, it's like really hard for me to criticize Patrick Mahomes.
But yesterday I didn't really know what else to say about the Chiefs.
Like we know the defense's issues.
It's not, you know, and they're missing pieces as well.
but at this point, like we're going on two games where he's turned the ball over in high leverage
situations and they were his fault.
They weren't all his fault.
You know, Edwards Lair fumbled.
One, the some skill player whose name I had never heard of before the game tipped it.
But the ball to Kelsey was his fault.
The previous game he threw it.
And I think you're right.
I think there's like a feeling like, oh, shit.
Not only is there a quarterback on the other sideline who kind of can go toe to toe with me.
Yeah.
But teams that kind of have our number, like they're not kicking field goals again.
anymore like they were two years ago. Every team knows that they have to push their offense to the
limits and as a result, I think he's taken some unnecessary risks for sure. It's so true though that
you know the cliche if you get everybody's best shot, well they're like absolutely getting people's
best shot as far as the most aggressive shot you can get. I mean, Staley like I love the approach.
maybe they leave them a little bit too much time or something
or maybe that fade backfires
but evidently you and I saw that.
You tweeted about it Herbert was the one who checked to that fade
on the four yard line.
I just love setting a tone of hey,
we're not afraid of you at all.
And guess what?
We're going to see you again,
which is a major consideration when you're looking at that tape
in the mindset of the Kansas City team.
And my only thing is this.
I agree with you.
Chiefs are going to win the division.
I think it's more because of the way the Chargers are going to play everybody else.
You know what I'm saying?
I think they're going to come up short because of a lot of their self-inflicted wounds
that they're still growing out of.
But for some reason, they play the Chiefs great.
And that's not a defensive strategy that other teams can replicate, right?
Yeah.
I was actually surprised.
They played a lot more to man in this particular game than they have been.
It was more similar to what the Bucks did in the Super Bowl,
but you're right. Many teams don't have the personnel to do it. Like Asante Samuel
Jr. already looks like a young star. Yeah. Um,
Arly's playing better with Darwin James back. And then, you know, you and I talk all the time
about how Joey Bose is like, also player on earth. So I think like they kind of lack a secondary
pass rusher, um, which could bite them in the end because teams are clearly game planning
against Bosa, but it's still, they just still have town, so much talent on that roster.
How about Ingram could have stayed in division I heard? Gee,
and ended up in Pittsburgh.
That would have been a big win for the chiefs
and would affect the conversation we're having right now
because they have to kick Chris Jones out to handle the time.
And, you know, on the offensive line, there's a lot of turnover.
We thought it might be improved, but we had injuries.
My brother got hurt.
We had, you know, some guys who were learning their new role.
It's not going to be as smooth as it looked on paper,
and that's all I'm saying.
How about offensive lines?
We've got a few of them that Meena and I have talked about offline.
You guys just talk offensive lines offline?
Yeah, that's right.
We talk offensive lines all the time.
We talk trenches all the time, and we're talking about Baltimore.
I'm worried about Green Bay's offensive line.
Now I'm worried about the Eagles offensive line.
I mean, like last night was tough as we sit here at time of tape.
It's Tuesday afternoon.
I wonder which good team is going to feel the issues they have up front in crunch time in December or January.
What do you think?
I think the Ravens stand up to me because with Baltimore, so pardon me,
With the Packers, obviously Bakhtiari's going to come back, right?
And Jenkins is going to come out.
Elton Jenkins, who they had split out to the left, was out.
But the Packers are so good at scheming around deficiencies in the offense.
Like, Rogers has gotten the ball so quickly.
I've gotten the ball out, pardon me.
And last week, I mentioned this on NFL Live, 4 p.m. Eastern every day.
The contrast between what Chicago was doing or not doing with their offensive line with Peters versus the Packers.
and Joshua Nijman, I believe, is the backup backup left tackle's name.
I learned of his identity on Sunday afternoon or evening.
And the fact that they've got a quarterback also, which Chicago arguably doesn't have,
who can game plan around that and skill players too.
It makes me feel confident in their ability to bridge the gap.
Whereas with Baltimore, the issue is the tackles.
And I'm not sure that's going to get better.
I know Ali, Illinois of it, like you made the position.
switch to the right side.
Many smart offensive line men have explained to me how difficult that is.
I don't think it's the issue with him, though.
I think he's just getting a little bit older, and I'm not trying to take a shot at him.
I'm just saying, you know, we all slow down, and I just, I see a little bit of that.
I thought it was, that was the case with like a Penae Soule, and that proved out a little bit.
Yeah.
So I guess I'm just worried because Stanley's going to come back, but it's like if, like, there's no one,
there's no one, there's no players behind him, you know what I mean?
And so that would be a concern amongst the contenders.
Well, the Yonda loss a year ago was like the beginning of, you know,
not the end of that kind of like period where you were unquestionably going to see
like dominance from that offense, but that's a big part of their identity.
And it's tough on Lamar.
And when you get all those drops, you know, here's the thing about the Ravens.
You know, they can be real front runners.
And I don't mean that as like, you know, an insult.
That just means they put teams away.
and the thing they're having trouble doing right now,
I feel like, and I don't know if it's going to hold true
the rest of the year, that Detroit game two years ago,
same quarterback, they blow that team out by 40.
They catch those footballs, and they run away with that game.
They're not in a position in that division or in the AFC
where they can afford to play these bad teams close,
because look what they had to do to beat the Lions.
So, you know, it is worrisome,
and I do feel bad for Lamar in the situation he's in.
Mina, another one.
Who's somebody who's in a new spot that's really kind of shown out,
and you're like, this is a great fit?
A couple guys, you come to mine.
This is not an offensive lineman, but we did talk offline about it.
I should not reveal any.
No, it's fine, dude.
You know, I don't have.
You all have unlimited data?
We have unlimited data, dude.
Hey, listen, me and me and I talk ball, dude.
I talk to one of the people on NFL live all the time.
4 p.m. daily.
4 p.m. daily.
We're just opening the kimono for the listeners.
Open in the kimono.
I hate that expression.
Is that an expression?
Every time I use it, I'm, yeah, yeah, it's an expression.
But I feel like it's particularly problematic coming from me.
All right.
So I know that the paths have been, like, disappointing early on for, like, a litany of reasons.
But I think Judon has just been an absolute monster in the defense.
If anything, I feel like he's only going to get better.
You know, they're kind of figuring some things out up front, I think.
And Josh Ute didn't play in the last game, which hurt.
But to me, he looks like the best.
They spent like a ton of money in free agency this year, right?
That was a big storyline.
He's the one.
Like, I watch, he, to every single game, he looks like the best defensive player
on the field.
So that's one guy.
And then I was thinking about it, actually another one, actually two players.
The additions of Ingaqua and Casey Hayer,
We were junior in Las Vegas.
Like Vegas,
that was one where when I was looking at the depth chart and the
audience was like,
okay,
we know unique,
what he can do,
what he can do.
But like when I was looking at the secondary,
but I just didn't register that they had Hayward.
And I was like,
they're going to suck again.
They suck last year.
And then it was literally night one.
I was like,
oh my God.
I forgot.
Like he's competent.
Like he's one of those like competent NFL players that everyone
forgets about.
And I just feel like the introduction.
of competence into that defense
that like every level has made such a difference.
It has. And I love
like you talking about in Gokwe.
Just Max has played
really well this year and it's
finally like oh people are paying attention to him right.
We've been just screaming and avoid that he's
actually really good, not just a hustle guy.
In Gakwe helps a lot
there. It really helps to have that bookend
and he hasn't gotten as much attention. He hasn't
made as many plays.
But that defense just by virtue of
changing some things up and getting some competence
like you put it perfectly.
They're going to, they unlock a lot for that offense too.
And they had those delayed release draft picks in rugs and my guy Brian Edwards.
So they're off to a good start this year.
I'm kind of jumping out of the gym for the Raiders.
How about the Cowboys?
Are they actually good?
I think they're good.
They've got one of the five best offenses in the NFL and the defense is now average,
at least.
And that's good enough.
Yeah.
Certainly good enough to win the East.
I don't know.
I don't think that they're in the same class as like the Rams and the Packers.
Or not, pardon me the bucks.
Yeah.
But they're right in that next tier.
Like the offense to me is one of my favorite offenses in football to watch right now
because like they win so many different ways.
And especially over these last, after they lost Gallup and playing these defenses where
they knew they wanted to run the ball to just come in and assert their will on the ground,
what those tight ends are doing.
Like, DAC just looks so calm.
and in control of that
offense. It's also just like a really fun
offense to rewatch from like an X's
nose standpoint. They do so much fun shit
and all the touch set. The red zone calls are so
good. So I think they are
good. I think the defense is a little bit
overhyped at the moment, but still a very good team.
Yeah, I feel like Kellyn Moore
and it doesn't do them justice.
Tony Romo saying you should be a head coach
on national TV like
you know the other day. It was
a kiss of death for the court of public opinion
on Kellynne Moore. Now people are going to be rooting against him to get a head coaching job.
But, you know, maybe from an offensive scheme standpoint, he is that good. I don't know.
Because I agree with you. They've looked great. And Dak just, he's incredible. I mean, we don't
say that enough. We usually do the, hey, he's underrated. People don't talk about him enough.
You know, we're talking about contracts. We're talking about Dallas. Like, just boil it down.
The guy's incredible. The throw he made rolling left last night, flipping his hips and the
piss-missled on the sideline. That really could have been a completion. But,
ended up being incomplete.
Like that,
that's the throw of the week.
You know what I mean?
And he's making a couple of those throws.
Every game I see him play.
So,
you know,
I'm a major fan of DAC
and the leadership to boot.
The guy I love on that team,
like it seems half of America at this point,
Micah Parsons.
I thought you were going to hit me
with like a super deep cut.
No,
no deep cut.
No,
no deep cut.
I was ready for it.
We've been team,
we've been team Michael Parsons
since the old hard knocks.
He just seems like a good kid.
It's hard to hate him even though he's a cowboy.
And damn it, he covered as good as any rookie week one.
And then he rushed as good as any rookie week too,
although there was the backup, Brian Balaga's backup.
But he's twitchy and he's instinctive.
Where do you think he ranks as far as like really good defensive rookies
the past couple years?
I mean, you got Chase Young last year.
I'm just needed defensive rookie years.
Both bosses, one, if I'm right, both bosses.
I think like through week three
certainly looks as good as
Young did early
I mean it's a long season
I'm impressed
versatility he provides is very impressive
and in the Z line by the way where without
Marcus Lawrence like there's not like a dude
on that line
that he gets like it's him right now
and so you could see him unlocking
the other rookie they drafted Osa
Osa Odugoza.
I think I got to learn
We're really good at pronouncing names on this podcast.
Odigizua.
Damn, he nailed it.
He's not bad.
Oh shit, like Micah Parsons is actually like
making life easier for him, right?
Yeah.
It's really impressive early on for him.
He blew up that, I don't know if it was a counter
with the read action.
He blew up that guard or tight end.
Whoever came, I caught the tail end of a,
I'm like, man, he's physical.
And he can really run.
He's just fun to watch.
I think as far as like enjoying watching a rookie on defense play,
you know, the reason I asked the question,
he might be just as fun to watch as the bosses and Chase Young.
And that's coming from a pass rusher.
So I love this kid.
I'm excited to watch him kind of get better and better.
He does make them better.
There's no tank Lawrence right now.
And that was frustrating for me watching because the Eagles couldn't run the ball.
Well, wouldn't also.
Yeah, I know.
Well, why aren't we doing it?
That was confusing.
I don't know.
it was one of those things where like you can't really blame game script because they abandoned it like
so early in the game it was befuddling I don't I don't really understand it and I'm not at all mad as
someone who has Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell in two separate leagues it's purely from a football
standpoint I don't get it but Miles Sanders I mean like you know I understand that we're a little
thin when it comes to depth there but Miles Santa here I'm with the wee stuff in Philly I'm sorry
but the Philadelphia Eagles are sitting on a gold mine in somebody like Miles Sanders.
He's incredibly talented.
You got to find ways to get him the ball.
You got to find ways to get Dallas Goddard at the ball.
I know Goddard dropped the crossing route last night, but they barely look at him.
So I don't know what's going on, but, you know, three weeks.
I miss Goddard on a couple as well.
I mean, but yeah, like I heard Seriani, who I really liked, say after, like, oh, you know,
wanted to go toe to toe with Dallas.
It's like, nah, do you.
you. Also, like, the matchup really favors you running the ball against this Dallas. Like, they're
very light up front as you know. Like, I really think they could have run it. Even when you're down,
like, I don't know, a couple of scores, you know, like you can't give up on it that easy. So I was
pretty surprised at why I thought. Especially because that defense was out there all night long for
Philly. I mean, give the guys a break. Poor Fletcher. Poor Fletch indeed. Last question I want to ask you.
Atlanta and Pittsburgh. I talked to Jeff Schwartz about this Sunday night.
kind of weird twilight zoney kind of situations where the quarterbacks are playing, you know,
the end of an era out. Who do you think has the best prospect to find somebody to replace those,
those two respective guys? And what do you think they do in Pittsburgh most immediately? Because I do
think that team at least could look like a team that could compete if they had a competent
quarterback at this point. Yeah, that's one where it's, like I've been, I was really early on the
Raltisberger's done trained.
So I have a lot of enemies in
Pittsburgh. Boy, they don't like that when you
say that in Pittsburgh. They did like last
year, halfway to the season when they were
not love it.
And now it's, I don't know,
it's weird. But the problem is, you're right,
I don't, like, it's not like
Rudolph and Askins are unknown quantities.
Like, we've seen them play, right? And it's also
not like, I think either of them have the mobility
to do something different with the offense
behind a very, you know, a young,
shall we say, developing offensive lines. So I don't really
think they have good options. I actually
my man Stephen A was talking
about how like Cam would be a good
pick up for them. I totally agree.
I don't agree. I don't agree with his top five teams
that I heard he ranked.
There were no bucks, but.
But yeah, I'm like,
go for it because defense is too good to waste as much
as they've struggled lately. And then as far as Atlanta,
I think that one, it's even more depressing because you had the
top four pick this year, right?
They did some weird stuff with
cap and they were left in a really difficult situation. But as far as the path forward,
I think that team as well, like you're not probably, you're not getting a quarterback next year.
So you kind of just got to eat it and write it out.
It's a really bad zone to be in. It's not great. Yeah, it's not great.
Well, at least for the Eagles, that Colts pick looks pretty good. And, uh, and they don't
look as good as maybe they were a couple linemen ago. So Steelers have scored four offensive
TDs in the first three weeks. I got a name for both of you guys. Okay. Mina,
Mina has some knowledge here.
Bryce Perkins.
She loves Bryce.
Quarterback, Los Angeles Rams.
Do you love or not love Bryce Perkins?
Oh, I love him.
I love him.
What a gem.
Another Rams preseason legend.
And he was on screen just before your pants were.
Oh, really?
Oh, man.
I'm glad we shared that moment, him and I.
I was surprised that they kept him on their active roster.
And that really speaks to, I think, what they, like how much they love him and what they saw in him.
That's a big workaround to keep that many numbers in L.A.
So that's our guy.
That's our guy here.
We love Bryce Perkins.
He also, like, I watched some of his college.
I watched the Virginia Tech game.
And, like, he has improved a lot.
I mean, most America is not out here, Grandin.
to Bright to Breggen's season tape.
As a passer, I think he already
looked so much better than he did in college.
So let's do it.
Bryce Perkins to Pittsburgh.
Done deal. Wow.
Yep. We broke it here.
Mina Combs, thank you so much.
And we will talk to you again soon.
Bye guys.

Here's one from me.
Why not do a little bit of drugs before the Manning cast?
Dude, I didn't want to do that.
Like, you've done so many drugs that you have to know the sweet spot of just taking the edge off.
Don't can't.
I was under so much stress yesterday.
I didn't want to, like, start hitting a cone because I already hit two cones in the middle of the day.
I want to go to four cones.
And I still don't know what a cone is, but isn't they're like, I'll put.
in alcohol terms, a beer.
Why wouldn't you have had a beer level of drugs?
Sure.
I just would be afraid that with four quarters to sit through,
I would have accidentally gotten really stoned here.
You know, just I'd been like,
I'll just, like, Towley in South Park.
Just going to get a little high.
Hiday-ho.
Howdy-ho, going on a manning cast.
That would have been awesome.
If I just popped up on there looking like, Tally.
No, dude.
Because there's a lot more listeners today.
I think I told you this.
When they had me on their mock Manning cast,
and this is funny because when I heard like,
hey, Peyton Manning and Eli wants you to go on their new show.
And you know me,
what do I not pay attention to?
New shows.
I was like,
oh, they got a show on ESPN or something.
It's a fucking mock game.
So it's going to be sweatpants.
You know what I mean?
Well,
I'm having trouble logging into Zoom because I'm,
I'm stoned.
It's at 11 p.m.
It's a preseason football game.
It's like Jacksonville and somebody.
It's a blowout.
I'm like, oh, they just kind of talk over the game.
When it popped up, I realized that it was the thing from last year on ESPN2.
Like the megacast is what they were calling it last year.
And in that moment, I just felt like Harry on the toilet and dumb and dumber, that noise.
When he realizes that the toilet's broken, that's how I felt about being really stoned
and just realizing that I was on like a live stream with those guys.
And yet they invited you.
you back. Even though it was a mock game.
They wanted towley you. Maybe
tally me will, if they call me back
later in the year, maybe I'll be a little tally.
Okay. I didn't have any idea
that they were taking a month off. They're back
week seven. So it really is a compliment that
you made week three.
Yeah, no, it was, uh, they
saw something of me that I didn't see myself. I'll put it
down. And that's what great coaches do.
But unfortunately, I got Eli in trouble.
I don't know how much trouble he's in.
Oh, the double birds.
That's terrific.
Swagoo was like, Ceylon comes on and totally just, what are you doing, Eli?
It's like I'm a bad influence.
I like that.
I like being Eli's bad influence.
And the book ending your career with Eli Sacks.
Yeah, it was pretty cool.
Very cool.
Not technically true, but close to true.
Yeah.
Mailbag read?
We got a mailbag.
A couple mailbags.
What genetic change would make humans a better species?
I got one.
Okay.
everybody's got to have the same size penis man basically penis socialism is what I'm
proposing talking girth and link there would be oh it's just read same shape do we're not at
redacted people can use our voices read can you tone it down a bit all I'm saying is there'd be a lot
less war there'd be a lot less envy there'd be a lot less anger so yeah maybe that just a little
genetic situation that there's hey don't worry about what's you know don't worry about yours
Don't feel bad about it, buddy.
Don't manifest that in anger, racism, hatred.
No such thing as a micro penis in my brave new world.
No more kneecaps.
Why?
Not great.
Knee caps generally.
I wouldn't be able to stand it.
Is that a joke?
Is that a pun?
Is that an attempt?
Yeah, that was a joke.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's funny.
Yeah, thanks.
Okay.
I was a leg up on you there.
Last time you shit your pants.
Today?
making? No, I couldn't tell you. No, honestly, you guys have already heard this one. I was on
Kilimanjaro. I had the scoots. Yeah, you did have the scoots and the toilet paper rolled down the
mountain. Well, that, no, that wasn't, no, that was a whole different story. There's a lot of poop
stories on Kilimanjaro. Listen, man, it's a 19,000 plus foot mountain. There's, you know,
you're eating foods that are foreign to you over in East Africa. You're taking a bunch of
pills like, you know, uh, vaccines. You get vaccines. If you get shots before you go over,
no big deal. And then you pop pills to make sure you don't get malaria and all those things that can
kill you really fast. And it messes with your gut. Maybe I had food poisoning, but three days into my
climb, I was walking through the jungle wiping my ass with big Jurassic park leaves.
And I was just getting by and I went and sat on a rock overlooking a beautiful vista and tried to
push out, you know, just clear a little space in the garage, you know, like,
push I thought maybe yeah I got a lot of gas man this must be the end of the scutes
twas not and my pants are still on that rock at 9,000 feet actually 10,000 feet in in
Tanzania when's the last time you show your pants I don't know I was probably
six months old not a full control shout out to Robin Lopez when asked about his
brother Brooke winning the NBA title
you mentioned vaccines
he said he was going to quote do his own research
to see if his brother actually won the title
gotta make sure
hilarious
shout out to the Pittsburgh Steelers fan
who shit his pants
washing them in the sink
oh I heard about that guy dude
that's reckless
he was just standing there with shoes on
in the bathroom
so this is what I don't understand about the guy
washing his poopy pants
in a public sink
here's on either he
he was wearing shoes or he wasn't.
Was he wearing shoes?
Was he barefoot in the Pittsburgh Steelers bathroom?
Staff.
Like, what's the dirtiest bathroom in the NFL?
Easy.
Easy?
He has socks on.
No shoes, socks.
Miami Dolphins bathroom.
It's a beautiful facility, but I think the bathrooms probably are not great.
It's a gorgeous new facility, but the humidity's high.
Think about a place that everybody's hung over, drunk.
You know, there's a lot of...
Cincinnati.
That's skyline chili?
Mm-mm.
I'd rather,
I would rather pop a squat in Cincinnati at that,
the jungle than I would down in Miami Gardens.
A lot of sweets, though, in Miami Gardens.
I think it's pretty, pretty plush these days.
I'm talking about Gen Pop down there.
Look who's calling.
Oh, terrific.
The guy who took good, bad, and ugly.
Yep.
One week ago.
Been on our show for months.
Hey, he's calling.
I got to pick up.
Okay.
Greenlight pod.
Hey, you guys taping?
Yeah.
Hey, Wright.
Do you know what we are doing this week?
What are you doing?
Good, bad, and ugly.
Ever heard of it?
Remember what Chad Ford did it 20 years ago.
Oh, oh.
Hey, Chris has you in his phone as 2S's 1L.
Do you take any offense to that?
What is it?
2S is 1L.
Now, we all know that it's 2S as 2L.
No, I have him as Ryan Ricillo.
You have him as Rosilo.
Okay, this comes out about,
about six in the morning East Coast if you want to look for content.
No, not good.
That ugly.
Thank you.
Underrated.
Properly rated.
It's already good at the maybe has already been eliminated from our content factor.
Hey, we're doing some film rewatchables, so we gotta go.
You win this war.
Life advice coming up.
Yeah, no, I appreciate it.
I deserve it.
Didn't do it on purpose, obviously, but we've already eliminated it because now we can't do it.
those guys he's such a good friend he's a great guy all right love you rye all right did you guys do the
sound effect too in the movie yes you did yeah oh my god that's so bad did you do the sound effect
i did i didn't even know you know you did the sound effect that's our ugly for today folks
yeah i deserve it i deserve it all not malicious though that you know as i always say with punishment
When you run into cops or jail, what was the intent, though?
If the intent was to go to sleep, how mad can you really be?
If the intent was just to go into your hotel room, how bad could it be?
I just wanted to call it tonight.
Love you.
Love you, Rye.
Love is love.
If you guys did the sound effect, too, this is so bad.
Love is love.
And so what just happened there was you two hung up, but in the middle of that call, I called him.
That's why it sounds different.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I informed him that he's not properly respected in your phone, nor am I lowercase last names.
How do you tell the boys it's time to officially shave the head? Hashtag balding.
There's some life advise right there. This is our first segment. And this is a real mailbag question.
Yes. Life advise. If you plan in a number, if we advise people on their lives.
It's one of a kind segment. It's like this mailbag segment in a way.
Uh, man, that's macro.
Airborne mailbag, though.
That's meta.
Haven't said meta in a while in this pod.
You're lighting a piece of paper on fire.
What are you doing, dude?
What are you doing, dude?
Blow that piece of paper out.
Are you?
He's upset because he's not going to get paid for his game checks.
He's trying to burn down the studio and collect the insurance.
Dude, you're going to set off the smoke alarm.
Yeah, it's not great.
It's not great.
well, you're lighting stuff all the time.
Yeah, but this is a fucking joint, dude.
You're lighting a piece of paper.
That's my bad.
Hand up.
That's my bad.
I'm not sure I...
My bad.
Why don't you put it on the wood?
Yep.
Perfect.
It's no longer burning.
An ember could travel five miles.
You know that?
No.
Much like...
My dad was a firefighter.
Aerosols that contain coronavirus.
In a movie.
What was the question before he lit a piece of paper?
paper on fire in a studio.
Balding. Balding folks.
Oh, yeah, balding.
When you play in an NFL locker room,
you have to, like, really have thick skin or, like,
and also a good hairline, because people will tell you.
They'll tell you.
My answer is, uh, you don't.
I stay out of that.
That's a personal decision.
I don't stay out of that.
Kingston was like, hey, you can, you guys can definitely,
I know the elephant in the room is my hair.
It was kind of what he said when we read this mailbag.
bro the way i view it is like friends don't let friends drive drunk
friends tell you if you got some shit in your tea yep exactly friends tell you if you might
have a developing gambling problem like making and i were doing some text exchanges last night
you send me the hotline last night and friends let you know when it's time to stop holding on you guys
got to let me know okay it's time if you're asking oh boloney matt no way his hair his hair
his hairline still comes across the front of the handsome guy so who cares if he's bald
I don't think he's got a bad-shaped head to be bald is all I'm saying
Dude he's got four years
Another four years
Yes but my thing is why not embrace it earlier
So you don't feel old when you become bald
You can be kind of old and bald
The first day you're bald
I'm just saying what he's working with to comb over
And I said as a comb over guy
He's fine for a while
Hey Matt how about when you get in a pool
When I get in a pool
Oh I'm like hey everybody stay away from me
Hey I'm just in the pool with a hat
Yeah. You know what I mean? I got a good head of hair from the front, but it's, you know, there's areas.
I think you might be right. I should just embrace the future, go full on Rusillo. But I got one more ace up my sleeve.
Macon's got the ad read for Keeps product. That's right. So I emailed them as him and asked for some free products and I'm hoping that'll work out.
Really? You have a burner? That's my name?
I just chose to represent you in that case. Your entertainment attorney said it was all right.
I'd be honored to have you as my representation.
Here's the thing, Matt.
Keeps.com slash green light.
Grow a beard.
Can you grow a beard?
100%.
No.
Can I not grow a beard?
It's really brutal in life to start balding before you can grow facial hair.
Go to a warm climate.
Shave your legs like guys in Miami's too.
Just live in a warm climate, shave your legs and, you know, exercise outside a lot.
I'm going opposite way on this.
Bring back the, the old.
old man, bring the Kelsey
Grammer, the Frasier Crane. Join
law enforcement.
Join Sports Center. Let's talk
about you for a second because you don't like this shit either.
I mean, I think you got a great head
of hair, but you're just paranoid about this stuff.
Thanks. And do you
actually don't think you have high peaks?
Oh, should I show? I mean,
you can, I'll show you. I don't want to be
shown on the show. I'm just saying you got good
lettuce, man. I would say, I think he's just
very self-conscious about
the lettuce like we all are. Well, I am. Because
of Kingston.
Kingston made you self-conscious
about the lettuce?
He is the friend from high school who in the middle
of SAT prep class says,
whoa, are you going bald?
I took my hat off.
All of our friends were like 16 years old.
And to that, that was like invisible to you.
Yeah.
Oh, I had no idea.
You were a child.
I had no idea.
The Garden of Eden.
Took my hat off.
Whoa.
Are you going bald?
Boom.
Boom.
Eat that.
Life altered.
Never going to be the same.
Yes.
Won't go in water.
If it's windy,
I stay home.
Water.
Yeah.
What I will say is,
is I think my smoke and mirrors game is pretty good.
Like for a guy without a Cowboy Reed hairline.
It's working great.
Cowboy Reed's hair is disgusting.
Yeah.
Fuck you.
It's like fucking Swiss shard up there.
Nice.
What is the most annoying thing to upgrade every year?
Toothbrushes.
Annoying?
The joke.
It wouldn't a great one.
I feel great when I get a new.
I'll get like a four.
pack, the oral bees, soft.
Oh, I love a new toothbrush.
I actually, I go through one like every two weeks probably.
That's probably smart.
I go through one like every year, I think.
That's probably pretty gnarly, huh?
Probably me.
Oh, I was joking.
I was saying that you go through one toothbrush a year?
I was joking too.
No, you were not.
No, no, I was, but it's like two or three.
That's probably gross, right?
Wow.
Four months toothbrush.
Yeah.
Maybe six months toothbrush.
No, no, no.
months. I'll up that though. I also floss every day. Yeah, so do I now, now that I have space
between my teeth. Thanks, Invisaline. People saw that shit. I was cheesing the whole time last week.
No, I'm up to, I'm four a year. If I had gone on Peyton and Eli, before Invisaline, I would
been talking like that. We would talk like that. Or said the Eagles are just not generating enough pressure
with my mouth closed. So you couldn't see my fucked up teeth. I go quarterly toothbrush. That's just not
Okay, dude.
You know what's not going to work?
Really?
Is that really bad?
Yeah, read.
How much do you change your toothbrush?
Probably like four times.
Yeah, yeah.
Sounds about right.
That's double.
At least twice.
No,
once every three months.
No,
I know,
but your first answer was true.
It's like me asking a question,
you know,
answering your question with the questions.
Obviously,
you were like,
uh,
like two or three times a year.
You know what?
I swear.
I swear I will never buy again.
Air pods.
They've come up on this show already.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck those.
I can't.
I can't hang on to them.
I asked my lovely family for a pair of AirPods for my birthday because I couldn't think of anything
else to ask for.
They wanted a list like I'm 11.
Yeah.
AirPods.
Be lovely.
Lost them immediately.
And then, and then I go by myself another set because like I can't let them see that I've
lost the AirPods.
I've now lost one down to one.
I only have the left.
Still works.
Still works.
Still charges.
Still works.
Good to know when you act like you can't hear me.
walking around the neighborhood
that there's actually an open ear
which makes a lot of sense
as you're strolling through my yard
like it's yours
my kids are like hey Uncle Macon's
outside he's in the driveway
you heard about that last week
heard about that yeah
nobody came out
no viral pandemic
they waived
viral pandemic yeah
AirPods terrible dude
oh and you know that graphic
like they're the third
highest revenue business
of any business in the world.
Yeah, because everybody loses them.
And they go back and buy new ones.
If Apple did not want people to lose their AirPods,
they would make them like bright yellow,
canary yellow,
like pink.
How hard is it to put a button?
Hey,
iPhone,
make my AirPods beep.
Make them beep.
Easy.
They totally have that technology.
Or if they were like connected,
you probably wouldn't lose them as much.
You know,
like wire.
Yeah,
exactly.
Like I had last night on the Manning Couch.
I've said that in an earlier mailback.
That's my favorite old technology.
Yeah, dude.
Which I'm back to.
Fuck headphones, dude.
Like generally fuck headphones.
Like, I'm listening to my movies on airplanes.
No headphones.
They screw up sideburns.
Don't do that.
I'm really not doing that.
Y'all take care.
Y'all take care.
Y'all take care.
