Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, KFC Radio listeners, you can find every episode of KFC Radio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Is this Kevin? Welcome back. That's the voice of Garrett the Rock. I forgot about that.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Immortalized forever. That'll never go anywhere. He was so confused. I had no idea what show I was on. I didn't know what time it was. You didn't know what planet you were on. You were blacked out drunk. After I got off the call with you that day,
Starting point is 00:00:44 we went down to, I think it was Game On to get food. And I was like, dude, I've been waiting for dinner all day. And they were like, dude, it's 2 o'clock. Like, what? Was that before or after you got dropped from the Sports Hub for saying shit? I'm acting like he knows. I have no idea. They called the blacked out man
Starting point is 00:01:05 for the yeah yeah i have no idea that's whenever you said you were getting barbecue but you meant you were at the baseball yes i said heading to bbq and that was uh it's just a different experience i got i don't go to baseball tavern enough to know do people call it bbt yeah i mean like if you're lazy and you just don't want to say we usually just say that's just the rocket yeah yeah i don't even think that's an abbreviation people use. No, it's not. No, it's not. It's Clancy and the Rockets.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I would have known. Five years from the Ivy and Buckhead. Yeah, we got fights on board, too. So it's me, Jared, Casey, and Fidelberg will be the honorary member for the week here at Buckhead. It's my least favorite week of the year. Best week of the year, baby. I know. Best week of the year. Only because of the year, baby. I genuinely mean that.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Best week of the year. Only because of the Patriots. Oh, there's so many things. The last three years. First of all, I've gotten to three Super Bowls. And it was, we started in Houston and Minnesota. We didn't start exactly hot. You're acting like Houston's just a piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:01:58 It was a piece of shit. Depends on where you are. It was a piece of trash. Houston was the right spot, Kevin. Depends on which ward you're in. Houston was of trash. Houston was in the right spots, Kevin. It depends on which ward you're in. Houston was just like... You were in the right spots. The bar was great.
Starting point is 00:02:11 The bar was great. Everything was 40 minutes away. Yeah, it was great. That's fair. It's very spread out. We're upgrading a little bit here in Atlanta. Could you just be a little bit warmer, please, maybe? I thought it was going to be nice in the South.
Starting point is 00:02:23 I'm freezing still. But it's been the patriots every year yeah it's been either i had just had a newborn or a fucking sex scandal and now i'm moving out of my fucking house every single year some sort of catastrophe and i get here and it's dave and feidelberg doing their fucking patriots parade they're celebrating an inevitable super bowl and it's just always a catastrophe for me. I mean, I will say, though, I'm always tired when I get off of a flight. I saw that video of Feidelberg being greeted by the people of Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:02:54 It was like smelling salts. I mean, I know those people are local Atlanta folks, and I know they're working for free and I know they weren't in Minnesota last year, but I feel like the same time they recognized me from last year they're like oh he's back it's his favorite week of the year he's back we roll off the airplane and we've talked about this fight to get off the airplane try to do your cool thing you get your headphones in you listen to a certain song yeah you pretend that you're like hollywood yeah you're getting off and and i'm trying and i'm faking it because i'm just miserable here as the patriots are inevitably going to win and there's these there's these greeters and they're just like yeah welcome to atlanta yeah and fights just start as high stepping through what's up
Starting point is 00:03:34 ladies oh we back we here again and i was just like we could not be more polar opposite right did you have your wendy's in your hand at that point? Oh, yeah. I was presenting it like it was Simba. Like a bag of fucking spicy chicken. Just a high stepping out. And then when I finally caught up to him,
Starting point is 00:03:51 he had the Frosty in his pocket. Just a hamburger and then he's smiling. He looks like a homeless man. He does look like a homeless man. He owns that look. It's not what you look like.
Starting point is 00:04:00 It's the confidence that you exude as you're wearing that. Perception is reality. It's a shocking development that I exude confidence. But that's the thing. You're a Patriots fan. Yeah, I mean, this is not the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:04:11 This is a Patriots game. The Patriots play in like week, what would it be? 21 or whatever the fuck it is every year. And it's just, I mean, I don't even know. They actually played a clip from the rundown the other day on Twitter. It was three, four years ago whatever and me and dan were desperately trying to proclaim the churning curse yep it's like you sold out you left your hometown you're doing it for the money none of your teams are ever gonna win again the patriots are probably never even gonna make the
Starting point is 00:04:41 super bowl again because of this churning deal. And since then, it's been nothing but Patriots Super Bowls. And I think the Jets have gone like 14 and 48 or something. Absolutely atrocious. 14 sounds high. Yeah, right. That seems a bit much. It's not even just the Patriots, though. I mean, the city of Boston has suffered three long months not having a championship.
Starting point is 00:04:59 I can't believe it's McGillicuddy time already. It is. Yeah. I mean, this will be the first time that his age doesn't change. Yeah. Right. It will be 16 years old, 12 parades. I mean, he's going to use the release. Was he even a woman? I don't think he was.
Starting point is 00:05:14 I don't think there's a poster. He might not have changed it, but he maybe didn't go to that parade or whatnot. I don't believe there's a poster with the same age and a different number of parades. I hate that kid so fucking much. He's, what is he, 16 now? Yeah, 16. Didn't you
Starting point is 00:05:29 say that you don't want to meet him? You can't. Why would I want, he's my daddy, he owns me. If you met him I feel like you'd probably like him? No. No? No, but I would have to be reasonable because then, now I'm like a grown adult talking to a child. I couldn't be like, Hey, fuck you,
Starting point is 00:05:45 pal. Like, you know, I mean, when, when Dan and PFT did their thing with Mason Ramsey the other day, I mean, it was unbelievable for Twitter and it's funny and stuff.
Starting point is 00:05:54 But I was like, Dan, what was it like? Like basically, basically hanging out with a 12 year old to try to make content. It's a little bit weird. Yeah. I asked him,
Starting point is 00:06:00 was he awkward? He was like, he's 12. That happened with McGillicuddy with, uh, Gaz. I think Gaz had with McGillicuddy with Gaz. I think Gaz had been DMing him or something like that. This is a couple years ago. He was Facebook messaging his dad.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Yeah, yeah. And Gaz was like, I don't know if he'd be down for content, man. He's kind of weird. I'm like, he's a 14-year-old kid. Of course he's weird getting DMed by Barstool Sports when you're a 14-year-old. Like, uh, yeah, no, I don't want to. Thank you for paying for my ticket, sir, but I'm not going to come to New York to meet you. Yeah, like my parents told me to warn me against strangers like this.
Starting point is 00:06:32 You fucking creeps. But don't you think that it's weird that he doesn't have Twitter? I think it is so weird. But that makes it part of the whole mystique. That's why he was raised by Wolves and Lombardi trophies. He's like the Undertaker. He has no social. He's a social misfit. All the kid does is watch and win fucking championships.
Starting point is 00:06:47 He is the Undertaker. He comes back at WrestleMania. You never see him any other time. He's not on social. Well, the Undertaker did sell out. He has fucking Instagram now, which is bizarre. But before that, before he sold out, he just said, yeah, no social. That's all he does.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Yeah. I mean, what would I even say to him if I ever met him in person? I don't think you'd have words. I feel like he would just suck your soul from your body. What he really should do. He's a dementor. What he really should do is make a sign for me this year. He should have the McGillicuddy sign and then my parade sign.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Like a picture of my face. 33-year-old's one parade. He would have the original sign, but then he should have the Kevin head on a stick where it's the Connor Gillespie face. He should have that. Well, the Photoshop's usually take care of all that for me. So this is the worst for me.
Starting point is 00:07:35 I genuinely loathe this week. But you put money on it this year, so it makes it a little bit better. The reverse mush is hopefully on. Which is not going to work. But I have to try. You have to try. I get that. And The reverse mush is hopefully on. Which is not going to work. But I have to try. You have to try. I get that.
Starting point is 00:07:47 And honestly, this is the thing. There's no losing now. I mean, yes, there's losing. But the whole point is that either I get the reverse mush in effect or I win money. Yeah. Or an act of God. I went to the FanDuel Sportsbook to place that bet on Saturday before we leave. Because I realized I was just going to do it through one of the guys in their bookies,
Starting point is 00:08:05 but I was like, I need the ticket. It needs to all be official, and I got to get it. So I got to do it now before we go to Atlanta. So I drive all the way to the fucking Meadowlands, and I didn't have my wallet. So I was like, off to a rousing start here for my reverse mush. Had to drive all the way back home, get my wallet, go back. The Sportsbook on a Saturday afternoon when really nothing is going on is a special place. The amount of Degens running around that place.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Everybody's in sweatpants. Oh, some fucking deaf guy tried to talk to me online to place our bets. He leans over. He's got all the lines, all these stats. And he's like... And I was like, what? And he's pointing about how Anthony Davis was sitting
Starting point is 00:08:44 out the game or something like that he's gonna put money on it and i can see the thing in his ear and he's like and i was like i don't i don't even bet i just hear because i hate the patriots i don't want to talk to this deaf degenerate in new jersey please god so i get to the counter and i'm like all right i need two grand on the pat's money line he's like well you're gonna have to sign up for like the luxury rewards card i I'm like, god damn it. So I had to make it just under two grand. Yeah, what, 1980?
Starting point is 00:09:08 Yeah, 1980. But apparently, if I win and I have to cash out for $3,500, then they make it up anyway. So I'll probably have to be signing up for the degenerate card. Yeah, which is fine because you'll probably come back. He's going to get the itch. Yeah, Super Bowl next year, you've got to place the bet. I was going to say, there's only... I'll be making one annual bet per
Starting point is 00:09:27 year, and it's against the Patriots. The people who get it, get it. I mean, I raised... I think the final count was like $849. So a couple people here and there spent like $10, but most people it was $1. So for the most part, 800 people were down. 800 Pats haters get it. The rest of the people just
Starting point is 00:09:43 can't understand it. You cannot understand Patriots hate unless you live it. Imagine trying to buy a Patriots rule lost, though. What type of people are donating? What type of misery
Starting point is 00:09:56 have the Patriots caused these people? That's what I mean. You can't even understand it. To me, it makes perfect sense. It's like, yeah, of course. I get it. It's a dollar.
Starting point is 00:10:04 And who knows? What if there's a 1% chance that this superstitious shit is real? We have to try something. We're that fucking desperate. But doesn't that almost make you think, like,
Starting point is 00:10:11 what the Jets do in the offseason is more reasonable when they sign some fucking quarterback like that? When they sign Michael Vick,
Starting point is 00:10:17 or Tim Tebow, like, we gotta try something. Yeah, well, that's true. We have to throw a Hail Mary. We have to try something to beat these guys. I think that all the time. People are like, you know, what do you think about this move or that move?
Starting point is 00:10:26 And I say, it doesn't matter until you have a quarterback and a head coach. But until you find that guy, you have to try something. So, yeah, go sign this D-end and go do this in the backfield, whatever. But it's not going to work. This is an honest question. So Casey mentioned before he went on the air that Tom Brady was on the EI saying he wants to play for another two years. Does that sort of as a non-Patriots fan be like, all right, there's a light at the end of the tunnel?
Starting point is 00:10:51 No, because that's like at least. The way he said it was not just like, oh, it's two years. He was like, I'm not going to get sick of playing football this year, next year or the year after that. But you know that eventually there's going to be a time post Tom Brady where you have a chance again. No. He said that he's looking for it. I can't even.
Starting point is 00:11:11 I have been doing the light at the end of the tunnel for like a decade. Yeah. I mean, we did like the first year at KFC Radio when we were laughing in John's face. Yeah. And like he just doesn't stop. But eventually he will get to an age in his late 40s where he's just like, all right, fine.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I don't know that it will happen. I don't know. He said he made a goal for himself today. All evidence points to the Godfrey. Right. All evidence points to the fact that it's never going to happen. Yeah, but what if he hits his mid-40s, which is what his goal is,
Starting point is 00:11:41 and then he gets there and he's like, I'm still fucking balling out. I don't have to quit. That's what Poppy told him. Poppy's like, dude, if you're not in pain, don't stop. I always got to stop him. David Ortiz was his feet. He had to go six hours of rehab every day. But it's disgusting that Tom Brady is healthy.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Don't eat tomatoes. Don't eat strawberries. Water for sunburns, right? At what point is my theory that he's not human the more logical answer? I think that is a more rational explanation. Nobody here thinks that Tom Brady's a human. Yeah, I think he's a demigod, not a robot. But yeah, it's not human.
Starting point is 00:12:13 I think he was created in a lab. And I think that's more reasonable than just being like, he doesn't eat tomatoes. Why the fuck does that make you be able to win a thousand Super Bowls at the age of 40? Night shades are bad for inflammation. I don't even know what that means. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:12:27 You just buy into everything that he says. That's how he's done after games. His muscles, his joints aren't inflamed because he hasn't been eating tomatoes. It's very simple. I can get behind a lot of those things. The water for sunburns. Can't get behind that one. I love sunburns.
Starting point is 00:12:40 I mean, it's more logical than water for concussions. Both of them are just garbage takes, if we're being honest. Everything else I'm behind. But after the AFC Championship video, the locker room video, is what makes me think that he's not, like, he doesn't get hit. He doesn't get tackled. Yeah. He lives in great...
Starting point is 00:12:57 His workouts are planned three years in advance. He's such a fucking loser. That's such a fucking lame thing to do. Three years in advance. Everybody hates the gym like meathead. Well, he doesn't know what he's doing, but his workout in 2022
Starting point is 00:13:11 That's the guy. Someone needs to kill that guy. Alex Guerrero. Kill him. You hate him more than Tom Brady? Kind of in a way, because at least Tom Brady like, despite how much I hate these guys, I'm always like I can appreciate the greatness. I understand how good he is.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Like, Alex Guerrero is a fucking scumbag. There's no redeeming qualities about him, and he's contributing to my misery. There are a lot of redeeming qualities about Alex Guerrero. If he was just wiped off the face of the earth, I wouldn't bat an eyelash. But every guy is always talking about how they miss hanging out with their friends, and they want, like, a club to hang out with. Tom Brady has the best club. Why would he ever voluntarily leave it?
Starting point is 00:13:44 Right. He, like, when Edelman was talking, like, I want six. I do it for you. I just want to hang out with. Tom Brady has the best club. Why would he ever voluntarily leave it? When Edelman was talking, I want six. I do it for you. I just want to make you great. And Brady's like, I just love you, man.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Why would he ever stop hanging out with this clubhouse he loves? What a fraternity to belong to. Do you understand why I hate this week so much, man? Yeah, no. It's just this shit. And you know what I really can't get behind is this fucking idiot on the Rams. This fucking dick.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I just finished the rundown where I was like, Dave, you guys, it's all like the Patriots fans. It is not. That's false. That's absolutely entirely false. This season it was said very many times. The amount of people calling the Patriots the underdog. It was a national media storyline. Well, they are.
Starting point is 00:14:26 It's like five national media people. But those guys drive the conversation. Fine, but we have to acknowledge that it's five people. The Patriots are the little engine that could, Kevin. I mean, if you've ever watched sports for five seconds and you are telling me that the team has been to nine Super Bowls in 18 years and three straight is the underdog,
Starting point is 00:14:47 you're a fucking asshole. I mean, it's season by season, Kevin. It's not, you're not looking at the whole body of work here. And even it's game by game, Jared. And so nobody at this point, even the people
Starting point is 00:14:57 who were saying it in San Diego, who were proven very fucking wrong, and then the people who were saying it with the Chiefs were proven wrong. Nobody is going into this game saying they're an underdog.
Starting point is 00:15:07 And they're all trying to take it back now, too. But just because you're right this time doesn't mean what you said for the last 20-odd weeks is wrong. And the thing is, it was okay to say a lot of the times people said it. There were a lot of times that the Patriots didn't look right. There were a lot of times that they were taking, like, nod Belichickian penalties, getting blown out on the road, looking bad. They looked bad. It was OK to say they look bad.
Starting point is 00:15:27 But most rational people were saying what I was saying, like, yeah, Brady, that was weird. Like those throws that he was not making were very unbreakable. Like a motherfucker at a MCL for five weeks. Right. But I was always a but he's going to be there. But not everyone had that. But most people did not. But I don't think they did. I think that most people are not
Starting point is 00:15:45 Max Kellerman and not fucking Stephen A. Smith and not all these idiots who are doing this. Jan Sharp. It's like, what do you do? I don't talk to random people on the street. I don't know. I'm talking about what the people you see when you talk about that's what the people you see are those people and all of them said they were done. But we have
Starting point is 00:16:02 to know, like, we all know that Max Kellerman is a fucking asshole. But he's going to say it every year though. He's going to say it every year. You should root for the Patriots to prove he's a fucking asshole. I will never root for the Patriots. So you would rather Max Kellerman's right. I just want to. You're wrong.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I don't give a fuck about Max Kellerman and I can't believe anybody else does and they are concerning themselves with what is clearly a debate and argument show where these people have dug their heels in. They've been wrong for seven straight years because they're waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel that's not coming.
Starting point is 00:16:30 And rather than just being like, the light's not coming, guys. They want to be right. They want to be the ones who called it when it finally comes crashing down. And it's not. So why are we fucking... But Kellerman's called it too many times
Starting point is 00:16:40 to where when he eventually does, it's not going to be right. No one's going to care. He also can't walk it back either, though. Like, he can't come out in the middle no he can't yes plenty of like the talking heads have been like you know what i was wrong shannon carp did it after the chief yeah but he has never shown anything that he would do that like he's gonna say it every year until he's right yeah but that's it that's why no one takes him seriously anyway i had a great time for a lot of
Starting point is 00:17:01 years arguing and debating when there was points to be made like i was always ended up like on the short end of the stick but when they went through their drought and you know brady you know there was always that like manning kind of had better numbers and there was arguments to make and then it just got to the point where you just can't it's not even you just can't and if you do it's fine but you have to acknowledge that you're basically just a troll. I don't do that, so I was like, I'm just going to be reasonable here. You're not going to hear it out of me anymore. And if I am, it's always very tongue-in-cheek. And then the one time
Starting point is 00:17:32 I let it rip was 28-3. And I was like, we're going to do this, and I was dead fucking wrong. Dead wrong? I was dead wrong. You just can't do it anymore. And I don't think many people are, except for this fucking asshole on the Rams. What's this guy's name? Nickelbie coleman this dickhead at media day time has caught up with him his arm's not the same like i mean so not only are you wrong but it's it's just now they have
Starting point is 00:17:57 bulletin board material which they already work i can't keep his mouth shut though you you should have like i mean i can't imagine for the last week Sean McVay saying anything other than shut the fuck up. Do not give them, like, it's clear that the Patriots are a team that is entirely consumed by media hate, by doubt. The only thing that can continue to fuel
Starting point is 00:18:17 them is outside of the league and outside of, not out of the league, the guys in the league, but outside of the play on the field. They've done everything you can do between the lines. They've broken every record. They've won every title. The only thing that fuels them is Goodell and Deflategate and now they're running with this dumbass underdog angle and shit like this. Even after the AFC championship game, they're yelling the stuff that the media is saying at each other on the field. So why would you, why?
Starting point is 00:18:40 That's why I do think that the Patriots are... I've always said the worst part about my teams are the PR. Their PR is a fucking nightmare. The Mets are... Jets are always a joke. They're never on the same page in-house. It's always a circus. Whereas I think the Patriots are very united, very much on the same page.
Starting point is 00:18:58 And I think they find these like... I think this is like their own... They create their own... They run with their own bulletin board. You're too old. It's not created, but it's like, we're going to make that a thing. Even if it is Max Kellerman and some one fucking idiot saying it, let's make that our rally cry.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And they, they do it. They get behind it all. Even if there's only like a shred of truth behind it. And so the fact that you give that to this like well-oiled machine that already doesn't need any sort of extra leg up, and you're just going to fucking give it to them. And you've heard former Patriots players saying that they 100% believe this philosophy that it's New England against the world,
Starting point is 00:19:34 even if it's not. They bought into it. I just have this image in my head of if you make the Patriots, they have someone standing in the doorway, and they give you a pamphlet on how to let hate consume you. It's just like they use it to their advantage. Smart, man. When they're already talented as it is,
Starting point is 00:19:50 and then they just get everyone on the same page, it's bizarre. What year was it? Tommy Carden was talking about it. It might have been 2004, so my dad, I forget exactly. But as they were coming off the field to win the AFC Championship against the Steelers, I believe, Ronnie Harrison was like, none of you believed in us. No one.
Starting point is 00:20:09 You all doubted us. And Tommy Carpenter was like, you guys went 15-1. What are you talking about? That's bullshit. Don't say that now. It's all in print. That's what I mean. But that hasn't happened this year.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Even in Boston. Everyone in Boston has said that your city is so fucked up you guys do that every team every year you always slander your own teams it's not everybody it depends on the guy Mike Felger is going to be doing that
Starting point is 00:20:38 even like the fan base I feel like you all fans would never say a fucking bad word about their team that's not true it's the media more than the fans. Definitely it's the media. But the media, yeah. There's like the annual, I mean, it doesn't matter if it's the first game of the year, if it's the fourth game, whatever, in Boston.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I assume you guys, obviously, they're a lot longer. It's like there's going to be the first week of the year that's like the Patriots are done in the media. And every single year it's going to happen and it's going to hit. It's not even just the Patriots. It's every team. It's like the Red Sox this year, they couldn't win the World Series because they didn't have a pen. The end of the World
Starting point is 00:21:07 Series DVD, they have players reading tweets about firing Alex Cora after the first game of the season. That's insane. You know who's an asshole? Anybody who went to the fucking send-off rally. 35,000 people. 35,000 assholes.
Starting point is 00:21:24 There's 35,000 assholes. I of Cleveland there's 35,000 assholes I mean that's such a weird thing to do well I thought it was a crazy turnout but I don't think I mean I've been to shit like that
Starting point is 00:21:32 yeah you're a fucking loser Jared but I mean it was I wouldn't I wouldn't drive up to Fox that's crazy it was City Hall
Starting point is 00:21:38 it's all closet yeah they're in the middle of the city like do you get tickets to that how does that work
Starting point is 00:21:43 I would imagine they just open and you just roll in and you stand there and tom brady does his little chant and you go home yeah and you just watch it on i would i would go like they do those in city hall plaza for the red socks all the time like you go for that you don't go all the way up to fucking fox you go in the parking lot you gotta spend two hours just to get out of the park i will i will give it to you guys like the fact that there's still 35 grand turning out for a rally on your ninth Super Bowl appearance.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Yeah. Because of this false fucking narrative of you being underdogs. New England fans are very good at finding something to fight. And it's Tom Brady. As long as you admit that. It's not so much like, oh, we want the next one. It's like, we might be seeing the last one.
Starting point is 00:22:22 No, you're not. I think it is. It's like, if you're a diehard Patriots fan and you're looking at this Super Bowl, it's like, okay. Maybe it is. They might be back next year. They might not be.
Starting point is 00:22:31 Like, this might, like, this is the greatest quarterback who's ever stepped foot on planet Earth. This could be the last time we ever get to see him. It's like Christmas with Grandma. It's like, she might not make it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, she seems healthy.
Starting point is 00:22:42 It's fine. But she might be dead soon. Yeah, shit happens. A year's a long time. Yeah. Yeah. But don't you think to a lot of Patriots fans? Like, I mean, they assume if he's playing next year, they're probably going to be.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Yeah. Yeah. No, I feel like that's the AFC championship game. But yeah. And just getting back there isn't enough. It's like we want to see the last Tom Brady Super Bowl. Do you think that Scott Zolak will ever forgive himself for dropping them? I don't think he cares.
Starting point is 00:23:04 I think he's he's he's going with the narrative that the narrative that he's a QB, not a receiver. I know. I mean, he's spinning it well. Yeah, that's fine. I'm fine with that. That's got to eat him alive. Behind closed doors, I'm sure he's very broken about it, but publicly he's spinning it.
Starting point is 00:23:16 What he should have done was just not even tried to catch it, just let it be a full mic drop. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, if you're going to fumble it at all, just fucking drop it. Just, like, get out of the way? Yeah. That's the top.
Starting point is 00:23:24 I mean, yeah, but that's, like, your reaction, right? Like, you're gonna fumble it at all just like get out of the way yeah that's the top i mean yeah but that's like your reaction right like you're immediately you're just gonna yeah try i know he's doing rough and rowdy is he gonna do any radio i don't know i would love for him to stop by i haven't gotten a chance to talk to zolak in person quite some time if there's ever i was saying before uh when i met him for the first time i think it was out of jets pats tailgate yeah like years ago in new York. And he just said something to me. I can't remember the exact words, but he was just basically like, thanks for being a fucking loser. Like, you're such an entertaining
Starting point is 00:23:51 loser when it comes to your teams. I was like, oh, thank you. Who has a better gig than Scott Zolak? Because he's got like, he can do he does 98.5 The Sports Hub four hours a day, and everyone loves talking football. And it's on TV, too. And it hours a day, and everyone loves talking football. And it's on TV, too.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Yeah, and it's on TV. So he's talking football every day, and then he gets to broadcast the games, and because he's a former player, no one gives a fuck if he's just... We ran one last week or the week before. I can't remember which one. One of the Patriots Super Bowl calls,
Starting point is 00:24:25 and he's just going berserk. He lost his voice. It was the Seahawks one. He was like, that's gotta be the dumbest play ball in football history. He gets to scream on a radio broadcast what everyone else is screaming
Starting point is 00:24:38 on their couch at home. And everybody loves it. He's screaming much more nonsense. That's a quarterback! That's so funny! Show dog, was it? Show ponies. Show ponies!
Starting point is 00:24:51 Show the cords! Where's the beef? The fuck does any of that mean something? I don't know, but I love it. I mean, he can say anything. People are going to get behind it. Yeah, this one with the Chiefs. America's worst nightmare is back, baby!
Starting point is 00:25:02 And there's nothing they can do to stop us! He says awesome! He's a fatty! because worst nightmare is back, baby. And there's nothing they can do to stop us. He says awesome. He's a baddie. As long as you guys admit that you are running with this, as you said. Yeah. That it's not really there. But we're running with it.
Starting point is 00:25:15 We didn't create it. I mean, people outside of New England fucking hate New England. So why would people in New England not? Nobody thinks they're an underdog. I do. No, you don't. I do. You think you're an... Nobody thinks they're an underdog. I do. No, you don't. I do. You think you're an underdog in this game against the Saints.
Starting point is 00:25:29 I haven't lost sight of the fact of how I felt at the end of the regular season. We were talking about it on the podcast, being like, yeah, they might get there, but it's not a foregone conclusion that it's going to be the AFC championship. You don't see that they've just flipped their switch. I mean,
Starting point is 00:25:45 Dave, yeah, that's what it is. But like, you'd never know when the end is actually coming. So when it came time to, you know, so you were doubting Tom Brady.
Starting point is 00:25:54 No, I wasn't doubting Tom Brady. I was doubting every, all the pieces around him. So you think you legitimately think that there are still the underdogs in the Superbowl. You can't. So fucking ridiculous. I, I, I think, super bowl you can't that's so fucking ridiculous
Starting point is 00:26:05 i i i know you don't i think anybody who says that's a fucking liar or an a on-camera troll yeah which is all okay and it's even okay to buy into it and to make it your rallying cry as a fan or in the locker room but let's be fucking real i mean going in a championship weekend like they would have been the favorites in Vegas had the Miami Miracle not happened. That's not underdogs. You know what I mean? It's one play change.
Starting point is 00:26:30 No, I disagree with that. Do you think they would have been favored? I don't think anything could have happened aside from going 16-0 that would have made them the favorites in the game against the Chiefs. In Vegas? No.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I think everyone has been captivated by Patrick Mahomes all year. So you think that if the game was in Foxborough, that they would have still been the underdogs? No way. No way. No, but even if they won that Miami game, they wouldn't have been...
Starting point is 00:26:52 Yeah, they would have had a home win. Yeah, the Miami miracle is what changed all of it. That's the point. That's the point. That's what you're saying. One ridiculous lateral touchdown. Yeah, they were only what, three points? The Patriots are an underdog?
Starting point is 00:27:02 So it's like one freak play is the reason that they weren't favored. I think people would have still said the Chiefs were going to win that game. Maybe Vegas would have been different. But I think everyone who said the Chiefs would have been different. But a lot of people are running with this idea of like, look at this, look at this spread. This is technically an underdog. It's like one play.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Give me a goddamn break. I do think what's, I feel like this is. But you're doing the same thing right now. Like when you're saying a lot of people. You're referring to one single person. What? You're referring to one single person. What? You're referring to Dave Portman. So you're doing what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:27:33 I'm looking at, I mean, Dave pushes a lot of it. But my, I mean, I guess my entire Twitter world is basically Barstool, and that's driven by Dave. It's all just one incestuous little fucking terrible party. But I'm talking just logically. They're not underdogs. I would agree. This game, yes.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Leading up to all postseason, yes, they have been. This game, no, they're not. You thought they were underdogs against the Chargers? That just doesn't make sense. I know they were doubted. I know the entire NFL network chose the Chargers? That just doesn't make sense. I know they were doubted. I know the entire NFL network chose the Chargers to win that game. Across the board. All of them.
Starting point is 00:28:11 And anybody who did that is no longer doing that, except for the main team. They did it. No, everyone did it in the Chiefs game, too. But they're not doing it. This game, it won't happen. This game will not happen. The two games they've played, it happened to both games.
Starting point is 00:28:23 They picked across the board? I don't know if it was across the board, but majority. The Chargers, for sure, it happened to both games. They picked across the board? I don't know if it was across the board, but majority. Chargers for sure. Chargers across the board. I feel like people are just learning their lesson except for a couple morons. And you guys want it to be the case. You want to be the underdog so bad. You're just fucking insane.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Well, because they thrive in that spot. It's not even about like from a football standpoint. Kevin, I haven't been an underdog in 20 years. I relished the opportunity to be an underdog again. I missed it. It was fun back home. You're not. The Seattle Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:28:50 I'm sure that the Patriots were the Vegas favorite, correct? I don't fucking know. I'm just talking about logically. You're talking about the greatest quarterback of all time. It was the Patriots versus the world. That's why it was an underdog mentality versus a Vegas underdog. But isn't there a difference, though, between the underdog mentality versus a Vegas underdog. But isn't there a difference though between the underdog mentality and just
Starting point is 00:29:07 being hated though? Because I feel like that's where like it's like the difference in words. You can be disliked and hated. You're not some scrappy story of like the little engine that It's not a Cinderella story. No, it's definitely not a Cinderella story. Yeah, in like 2000 though. I hate this week so much.
Starting point is 00:29:23 I hate all of you. I probably hate most of you. I definitely hate everybody upstairs. I hate that guy. I hate this week so much. I hate all of you. I probably hate most of you. I definitely hate everybody upstairs. I hate that Gaz. I hate Gaz. I really hate Gaz. I really hate him. How happy he is. It's just, I feel like I'm on the Truman Show and you're all doing this
Starting point is 00:29:40 just to drive me crazy. That's what I felt like all year when everyone said the Patriots were dead. Gaz! Gaz! just to drive me crazy. That's what I felt like all year when everyone said the Patriots were dead. There he is, guys. Guys, tackling. That was a pure, blissful laugh from guys. We're going to break. When we come back, I don't know if I'll be here or not.
Starting point is 00:29:55 I might just fucking leave. Fuck you guys. We'll be back from the Ivy here in Buckhead. It's Clancy the Rocket, so PowerD5. We got one of the toughest guys in the world coming in here. We got Anthony Munoz. Do you want to bring him in? We'll bring him up now.

Go to getquip.com slash Clancy. That's G-E-T-Q-U-I-P dot com slash Clancy. How are we doing, brother? I am doing great. How about yourself? We're doing very well. We appreciate you coming by.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Good to be here. I mean, I got to be honest, the last thing I saw before i came on stage and i'm sure you hear it all the time but that pinky is so fucked up man i straightened it out so it's just always your pinky's not like that i got mine is look at i'm crooked see that people will see it and say what happened i still gardening, and I got it stuck on some roots on the plant, you know? I tell people 13 years of sticking it out there and having those 280-pound defensive ends. To be honest, it seems like all your fingers should be that way.
Starting point is 00:31:36 I know. Everybody who ever plays the position should be like that. Well, I mean, if you were to jam this thing, they wouldn't feel very good. No. The hands are very sensitive right now. Do you ever show somebody that and they don't react the way we just did? No, they usually react. And it's fun, too.
Starting point is 00:31:51 That'd be a psychopath if they don't react. I love golf, so I'll go into a pro shop and I'll be looking at the gloves. I need a 2X that fits the left, but I need the pinky to go out like this. They're like... You get the fuck out of here. Like when you cut the pinky out of the gloves? No, it keeps it nice and snug. I love the routine of like, look, I fixed it.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Nope. That is, I mean, that's. A great party trick. That's a, you know, a battle wound, right? I mean, that's a reminder of everything that you did. One of them. And it doesn't hurt, so I don't get it fixed. fixed you know it's just another rehab and you know maybe some pins and i don't need all this we had a guy uh big cat he he bet a pinky this nfl season if the texans
Starting point is 00:32:36 ran the table and i believe it was a win the super bowl or make it i think it was make it oh i thought it was when so if the texans won the super bowl and he bet, you know, like week three or four when things were not looking good for them, and they go on this nine or ten game win streak, whatever it was, and the rule is going to be if they won the Super Bowl, chop the pinky off. Well, I could have been tough like Ronnie Lott. Yeah. I mean, one of the best safeties to ever play the game during the game. I mean, he just cut the end off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:59 See you later. He said, the heck with surgery, the heck with rehab. I'll just cut it off. And so he's got half a pinky now. You ever think about it? No, I'm not that tough. I mean, I think that's a cooler story. Isn't it better?
Starting point is 00:33:11 Yeah. The only problem, I was at a live auction. It was up to 300, and I said, 300? And they said, it's 300, not 250. Well, listen, when you got the ring on the other finger, I mean, that's what matters, right? Hopefully it keeps the eyes off this. It doesn't work because that's the first thing you ask them about.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Yeah. I mean, a pretty illustrious career for you, man. I mean, like, widely regarded as one of the best offensive linemen ever. I know this guy here is a big Brady fan, and he is so well-known for taking care of his linemen. Did you ever get that type of treatment? We got a few gifts. It was like Christmas.
Starting point is 00:33:46 I played with Boomer Esiason. What did Boomer be getting? I'll tell you what. Boomer Esiason took care of us. And it wasn't just, you know, go out and buy the linemen a gift. He would do a little. He knew the linemen. Like at one year, he had eight linemen.
Starting point is 00:33:57 He knew four of us hunted, and the other four didn't. So we got the four guys that hunted a top-of-the-line shotgun and got the other guys cell phones. So we got some nice ostrich boots with our names and number and the Bengals helmet. That's awful. So it was, but the ultimate, and people think of Boomer, and they get the wrong impression a lot of times of Boomer,
Starting point is 00:34:18 but the guy's amazing. Meaning what? Well, they think he's arrogant and cocky, but the guy's just confident. He loves people. He loves to be a giver. So my last year playing was his last year before he returned. And what he did, he usually had the offensive lineman at his house for dinner.
Starting point is 00:34:33 And in that year, you had to be a veteran lineman. There was three of us that were left my last year. So the three of us, our wives and Boomer and his wife were at his house. So after dinner, we go in his family room, and we all sit down on the couches. And he says, Anthony, I already gave the other two guys their gift, and he has a little box. He goes, here's yours. I grabbed it, and this was, I said, whoa. So I open it up, and there's a set of car keys, and I'm like, whoa. He goes, come on, let's go outside. Well, when we got there, he had his Ford Explorer that had the lift kit, and it was black and tinted windows.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Well, we walked out, and that was gone. And there was another one sitting out there. It was a dark green lift kit. He goes, come on, let's take a spin. It's yours. Holy shit. I'm thinking, what is this, a month lease, maybe two months? And he goes, no.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Test drive. So he jumps in, I jump in, we drive around. He gave me that for my retirement. That's awesome. Had a plaque on the dash that said, Anthony jump in, we drive around. He gave me that for my retirement. That's awesome. Had a plaque on the dash that said, Anthony, thanks for nine great years. I mean, so that was the ultimate gift. Did he pay the insurance too or did he over you? Well, no, I mean, I had to pay for gas and insurance.
Starting point is 00:35:37 But heck, I'm not complaining. I think you're doing all right, Tony. Do most quarterbacks treat their offensive linemen like that? I think a lot of the smart quarterbacks, and all of them are smart. So I think, you know, they, and one of the things, you know, they know how to connect with their guys. You know, give them gifts, you know, take them to dinner maybe once a week. Boomer did that with us.
Starting point is 00:35:54 And from what I hear, they do take care of their offensive linemen. And, you know, that's not that we expect that, but they just do that. That's them. I mean, and they understand the cohesiveness, the teamwork that it takes. The importance behind it. Exactly. When you see, when there's an offensive line problem, I think it's the most glaring thing on the field.
Starting point is 00:36:14 As a Jets fan, I had it with Wayne Hunter and the dude on the Giants this year. Eric Flowers, right? Yeah, Flowers. There's a weak link, and it's the one thing you can't hide, you can't mask, and you can't even really scheme or help around it, right? Yeah, Flowers. There's a weak link, and it's the one thing you can't hide, you can't mask, and you can't even really scheme or help around it, right? So if you're on a line like that and there's a problem, and everyone knows it, you can't even sugarcoat it. What do you do?
Starting point is 00:36:36 Well, to use an analogy of that, a former teammate of mine, I played next to him for my first four years. He was my left guard, and he says it best. And you take your fist. If you're going to punch something and you have four fingers here, but you don't have that thumb, it's not going to be very solid. Right. But if you take those four fingers and you put that thumb, it's like a line.
Starting point is 00:36:57 If you have four guys executing one guy, it's not going to work. Nah. You need all five guys, and it's very important. I mean, it's one of those things. I had a chance to really gain a lot of accolades, but I know it was because of the guys next to me. And not only the four other linemen, but your tight end. I mean, the tight end is very important too. So it is.
Starting point is 00:37:10 I mean, it's like when things are going well, nobody talks about it, but you're holding penalty, you jump off sides, you move, it's going to happen. So you really have to be coordinated, working together. The communication is amazing. That was the biggest thing with Luck for three years. It was like, why isn't Andrew Luck live up to what he was supposed to be? It was like a terrible line. He had Brinkson just fucking grab the slack eyes every draft.
Starting point is 00:37:33 What do you do if one of those pieces is slacking? Because I would imagine that if one of those five pieces is like letting guys through or the quarterback's not being protected, you get pissed, right? Like, how do you handle that? Well, you don't. I mean, you make adjustments. And that's where, you know, the line comes into play and then the coaching staff. I mean, we should be prepared during the week if something does happen.
Starting point is 00:37:53 You have game plan adjustments. Let's say you have the left tackle that's gotten beat. And you have a guy that's, you know, kind of having his way. Then all of a sudden, you have a tight end. You have a running back that chips him. Maybe you slide that way with the guards protecting us inside so that comes down to strategy so you you have to be able that's why you know as old guys we sit there and watch and when a guy continues to get beat after play after play you're like let's make an adjustment it should be the coaches the line
Starting point is 00:38:18 coach the coordinator and you should be able to make those adjustments throughout the football game it shouldn't take a quarter or a half before you make them, especially now with the surfaces and all the technology they have, the pictures they have. You should be able to make those adjustments, and that's what you do. I could never be in that position because I would just want to bitch him out all the time. You're getting your ass beat. Step it up. When your quarterback's on his ass every time and it's just, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:43 there's never a moment where you're chewing some guy out or you're like, oh, no, you really don't. Because you have to have a short memory. I mean, because if you're chewing this guy out, then it might happen to you. Right. What are you going to say then? But no, it's you really got it. I mean, it's it's so quick and happens so quickly. The audibles and the adjustments, you know, a lot of times you can tell the quarterback doesn't have to say anything to you.
Starting point is 00:39:08 You know. He just looks at you. He gives you that look. Yeah. See, I'd always snap back. I'd be like, give me the fucking ball back. Let's go. Be like Brady.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Give it to me in two seconds. He's still having fun. You know, if you're the guard and you're getting beat, I can just look at you. I don't have to say anything. Yeah. And we've been playing together long enough. You should know that I'm ticked. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:39:28 I mean, you know, the Patriots line is great. But when Brady's getting the ball out in a second and a half, it's got to be the easiest job in the world. The guards on the Patriots line this year gave up one single sack in 2,500 snaps. And then early last season when he was on his ass all the time, it was what's the problem with the offensive line. Yep, yep. That is unbelievable, man.
Starting point is 00:39:49 And now he's like Instagramming pictures, you know, with his clean jersey, no grass stains, shouting out to his offensive line. Well, they did bring their offensive line coach, Skarnicki, and they brought him back. That helps schemes, like I'm talking, schemes, adjustments. You know, if you have one guy that might not be as good as the next, you're going to slide that way instead of slide right instead of slide left uh you know so it's
Starting point is 00:40:10 it hasn't I mean really there's a whole team effort and you know quite frankly yeah he does get the ball out quickly but there's times when he's back there more than just I mean where those guys are keeping people out I mean it's I think that's been the most impressive thing I mean he's Brady's always impressive but the most impressive thing for me is to see how think that's been the most impressive thing. I mean, Brady's always impressive, but the most impressive thing for me is to see how clean he's been every game with that offensive line. It was. I think he was knocked down zero times in the AFC Championship against the Chiefs line, the defensive line,
Starting point is 00:40:35 led the NFL in sacks. Didn't get knocked down. Zero grass stands. It's like they're good at football or something. Yeah, oh my God, the Patriots are good. One thing that's happened with the Pats a lot, and it's created quite a divide, especially at Barcelona, I think, oh my God, the Patriots are good. One thing that's happened with the Pats a lot and it's created quite a divide, especially at Barcelona,
Starting point is 00:40:47 I think in the world, is the Pats have embraced the underdog mentality. Everyone counted this out all year. Is that something you would work for in every locker room
Starting point is 00:40:55 to try and get that mentality like us against the world? If they were actually underdogs, I was going to say, if you're not the Pats, then yes. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:41:04 They were counted out. Come on, the Pats is the 50 Super Bowls. I mean, how is was going to say, if you're not the Pats, then yes. Thank you. But come on. They were counted out. Come on. The Pats is definitive. 50 Super Bowls. I mean, how is he going to be the underdog? But this season, we're going on a season-high season basis. I'm not going to buy that.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Now, when we played in the Super Bowl, I mean, we were, the year before, we were 6-10, one Super Bowl. The previous, or the following Super Bowl were 4-11 prior to that. I can see that. But Brady and the Pats. Nine in 18 years. Everyone has said it. Everyone said it all goddamn year.
Starting point is 00:41:30 They said Brady's old. He's got a new alarm. That doesn't make him an underdog. These are facts. They were on national television. We keep coming back to this. There's a long line of them. What type of advice would you give to a player
Starting point is 00:41:41 that's playing in their first ever Super Bowl? I'd say enjoy it. Just take it all in. How hard is it to do that, though? Because it's the magnitude of the moment. How hard is it to actually take it all in? Well, the same way you're disciplined to get ready for the season and disciplined during the season, you need to not. You realize once you get in the playoffs, it's a different level. You already experienced that in the divisional playoff game, in the championship game. So it shouldn't be that difficult. That's your job. That's how you put bread on the table. That's how you don't want to just play. You know,
Starting point is 00:42:12 I forget the guard's name, but this is his third Super Bowl and it's his third year in the league. You know, so you want to be able to do it over and over and over. So it's your job. I mean, you enjoy it, but it's your job so you there's got to be a balance and then when you have guys like brady and head coach like belichick or you have you know now the rams don't have that experience that the so i think it might be a little tougher for those young guys but still those guys are so focused as a professional you should be able to do that have you made an official prediction yet you know what i'm so bad in predictions i was in broadcasting for seven years after i retired i don't think i was above 500 Have you made an official prediction yet? You know what? I'm so bad in predictions.
Starting point is 00:42:47 I was in broadcasting for seven years after I retired. I don't think I was above 500. But, you know, my mind tells me one thing and my heart tells me another thing. At my age, which I'm pretty old, I root for guys, coaches, players. So my heart is with number 77 at left tackle with the Rams. But my mind is saying the underdog Patriots. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. You know, I'm not a betting guy, but if I bet,
Starting point is 00:43:10 I would not bet against the Patriots. It's just amazing. But, you know, I'd like to see Andrew Whitworth and the Rams win. Did you think that? Oh, go ahead. Well, not to bring up bad memories, but Boomer was on his show recently talking about that Super Bowl and how he said he
Starting point is 00:43:26 was standing with the i'm going to disney world people and like ready to give his interview and like that it all changes and he said they just like ran across the field like see you fucking later it's crazy like don't even care i mean what was your your uh experience with that when you realized it was so back then i had a chance to play my Pro Bowls in Hawaii, which is unbelievable, after the season. Better than Orlando. So I get to Hawaii. We're getting ready to practice and then I forget the guy. The head of security for the NFL sees me and he comes
Starting point is 00:43:54 over and says, man, it was amazing. We had to take the Vince Lombardi trophy out of your locker room and run it to theirs. So quick. And I'm thinking, thank you. Yeah. I'm trying to get over it. But, yeah, it was crazy. I mean, because we were there.
Starting point is 00:44:08 You know, sure, they had Joe Montana. They had to go 92 yards with three minutes. Not that I know any of the details this long. Yeah. You know, but, you know, I'm thinking our defense gave up a lot of yardage. But somebody's going to make a play. Yeah. And we had one, but we didn't take advantage of it.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Then they had a third and forever. And who did they hit? Jerry Rice. He breaks the tackle, gets the first down. But it was tough, especially knowing that. I mean, we knew that they had things ready in our locker room, and then to hear it a week afterwards. Is there any, be honest, is there any resentment towards the defense?
Starting point is 00:44:41 Like, you know, we did our job. You've got to do yours. We didn't do very well offensively. I mean, well, we kicked three field goals. I mean, you know. So it's not like we lit up, you know, Super Bowl Sunday with our offense. Right. Which we had been doing all year.
Starting point is 00:44:55 So, no. Doesn't it ever come down to that with, like, it kind of, you know, happened with Cody Parkey where it was kind of like, I think Rex Bryan was talking about it where he said, you know, after the game, the run is always, look, one play doesn't decide a football game. But sometimes it does. Sometimes one play decides a football game. The Cody Parkey kick decided that football game.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Is there ever a situation like that where, like, you guys, you know, you're saying it didn't happen in that particular game. But is there ever that kind of thing where you're in the locker room, like, guys, you couldn't hit that kick or you couldn't fucking make one stop on fourth and seventh? You know, not a whole lot between the players, but I heard it happened in the stands with the wives. Yeah. I'm a defensive wife. You're an offensive wife. It's like, come on, offensive wife. Giselle did that.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Giselle did that after the Giants Super Bowl when the ball went through Welker's head. My husband cannot fucking throw and catch the ball. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, you don't because you know that it can be you the next time. So it's one of those things you learn as an athlete that you're not going to rip
Starting point is 00:45:53 your teammate and you know they're not going to rip you because you have to play together as a team and there's going to be other opportunities. You know, we lost that game, but then we had to come back, you know, what, six months later, go to camp and try and do it again. You're working you were uh i mean you got to be tough mentally and emotionally right you're here talking about built ford tough uh for for this whole week tell me about that well the built ford tough offensive line of the week you know it's you get your
Starting point is 00:46:18 individual accolades i mean mvp you know super bowl mvp mvp of the season it's always a quarterback you know running back back, wide receiver. And a lot of times you get individual accolades. But the fact that we can select a whole offensive line is pretty cool. So I've been doing this for three years where every week we select an offensive line of the week. Built for tough offensive line of the week. I get on the air. I talk about them.
Starting point is 00:46:41 And it's fun for me to follow these. You know, I'm still kind of, you know, connected with the game, watching it. I try to, you know, really stay on top of who's playing. And then we'll Saturday, we'll announce the winning line. And of course we have two offensive lines that are two of the five finalists with the Rams offensive line and then the Pats offensive line. What are you really looking for when you look at that? I mean, obviously it's if the quarterback gets hit or is on his ass, but what else goes into that? Well, you know, with, with all the, the grading, you know, know, organizations we have now, one of the things that helps me and helps us is our pro football focus. They do a phenomenal job, I mean,
Starting point is 00:47:14 in hours, grading every position. So I get a copy of that. Sean O'Hara with the network, you know, really is in charge of picking it. We get to look at it. But, you know, you know, by the end of the season or week by week what line is doing well. I mean, they have it down to a science. You know, the running back, how many yards can he gain before he gets hit? You know, how many pressures, how many sacks? You know, something that we used to do, but it wasn't out there as much as it is now. We used to walk into our meeting room and we had it covered with charts. We knew how many times that we could pass the ball before my guy hit the quarterback.
Starting point is 00:47:47 We called it a ratio, pass ratio to hit. We knew how many sacks. We had a grade for every run play. And it wasn't just getting the block done. It was a technique grade, getting the job done. So those are the type of things that really help us out. So, you know, you can say, well, these guys, you know, the Cowboys Lions, pretty good talent,
Starting point is 00:48:02 but they're not playing that well. And they weren't early in the season. They were talented. I'm from Dallas. I'm from Dallas. That's a very sort of project. Well, they came around. I mean, they came back around, and they're very talented.
Starting point is 00:48:13 You know, they had Frederick Gunn with the, you know, but they started out slow, but then they picked up steam. So there's some pretty good offensive lines out there. And, again, it's fun for me that Ford has allowed me to be part of the team to talk about the built Ford Tough Offensive Line of the Week. We appreciate you coming through, my man, and we're going to hit a break now, but have a beer
Starting point is 00:48:31 and enjoy yourself, right? Thank you very much. We'll be back after the break. Now, now, back to Barstool Radio's coverage of Super Bowl 53 from the Ivy and Buckhead, Atlanta. All right, we are back. We're joined now by Melvin Gordon. My dude, thank you for coming through. Yeah, yeah, appreciate you having me. We just ripped this shot that the caller bought for us.
Starting point is 00:49:18 It's delicious. Which is just a mixed drink that you have to chug. It was a mixed drink you chug. It's not a shot. It was delicious, though. It's got ice in it. It's got ice in it. It's got everything in it. It's a mixed drink that you just had as chugged.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Is that Kill Cliff? Is that what's in that? Yeah. Yeah, all right. I'm not opposed to it. That's a post-workout drink. The funny thing was, when Melvin sat down, before the shots came or anything like that,
Starting point is 00:49:35 he's like, you got kind of like a college vibe here. It's like a Blue Mountain State. So four of us fucking chugged a shot. So Melvin actually just basically challenged all you guys. He said none of you are going to make it to 10 or 11 o'clock tonight. I don't think so. He said you're all here too early getting faded. You're not making it through the night.
Starting point is 00:49:55 So step your game up if Melvin's challenging you. That's the best part of day drinking. Drink your Bud Lights. So how's Atlanta? I mean, what do you got this week, dude? Man, dude, so many. I got so many events to go to. I did a whole bunch of interviews and stuff yesterday.
Starting point is 00:50:10 So it's been crazy, man. But, you know, I'm going to find some fun with my friends later. Later. Later. Not too much fun, man. You can get in trouble in this town. Nah, nah, nah. Before we got going, you were talking about, like, you Madison Barstool and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl? Because obviously you and James White are boys. You want the Patriots to lose because of, you know. The Rams. You know. You know all the reasons. You want the Patriots to lose? No, I want the Patriots to win.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Oh, okay. He doesn't want to go back to L.A. and see all the Rams stuff. And if I could kick that helmet off the table, I would. I got you, bro. I got you. Just in the middle. That's what I could kick that helmet off the table, I would. I got you, bro. I got you. Just in the middle. That's what I'm with. There you go.
Starting point is 00:50:49 That's what I'm with this week. I'm usually against the Patriots, man. Yeah, you can't root for the Patriots, dude. No, I think it's more rooting against the Rams than for the Patriots. They play in the same city as me. I'm not rooting for them, guys. I feel you, but you can't.
Starting point is 00:51:00 That's fine. You don't have to root for them, but you can't root for the Patriots. I can root for them. No, you can't. I got a teammate on there that I'm close with. He doesn't want to see the billboards in L.A. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:09 I got a teammate. Super Bowl winning Rams. He roots for the Patriots. I wish him the worst. Oh, well, yeah. Oh, yeah. He's petty. He's petty.
Starting point is 00:51:19 When he says he roots against me, it's like a little kid being like, Daddy, I can beat you up. It doesn't matter. It doesn't affect anything. We are going to win. You are wrong on everything you say. So you want the Rams to win? Hell yeah. He hates the Patriots. My two favorite teams are the Jets
Starting point is 00:51:32 and whoever will play the Patriots. You should be too. So you're upset because you're a Jets fan and you guys can't beat them. Correct. Okay. I got it now. I knew it was something. You always have what? 2010? Yeah. And the I knew it was something. I knew it was something. You always have what?
Starting point is 00:51:46 2010? Yeah. 9, 10. We had a good run. You always have the butt fumble. Don't forget that. So the Chargers, I mean, this whole LA thing is weird, right? I mean, it's like two new teams and, you know,
Starting point is 00:52:00 LA is kind of a weird sports town in general. Like, where do you feel like the Chargers-Rams kind of, I guess, rivalry is at right now? Well, I feel like we, like, second tier, man. Like, I just feel like we just don't really get that respect. But then they're in the Super Bowl, so, you know, you kind of understand. But it was like we were having a great season, and then they were having a great season. It was just like we have, like, two losses, they'll have one loss. And then when they lose, then we'll lose again.
Starting point is 00:52:25 So it was like we was always trailing and we just don't get love. And now they're at the Super Bowl. So if they win it, we're not going to ever get love. So you got to understand where I'm coming from. It's going to be like the Clippers. Clippers. That's what I said. We'll be the Clippers and they'll be the Lakers.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Listen, bro, you don't ever want to be the Clippers. That's what I'm saying. That's why he doesn't want the Rams to win the Super Bowl. I get it. Is that tough by playing? I mean, the Twitter jokes and whatnot are that every team has a home game at the Chargers Stadium. Is that a tough environment to play in?
Starting point is 00:52:54 Is that legitimately tough? Is it like going on the road to New England, like playing a home game? It's not that bad, but it's still like being on the road. It got better the last game. The last couple games of the season when we were winning, it got better. But, you know, it's still like a way game. If it were up to you, would you go back to San Diego? You're going to put me on the bus.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Nobody's listening. It's just us right now. It's not national radio. Don't worry about it. Oh, man. Gosh, I'm not going to answer that. I mean, I think you're answering it. No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:53:26 No answer. No answer. But it's like hard for people in L.A. to get really into football in general, right? Because there's so much other shit to do. There's so much going on. I mean, who really cares about who's on the chargers when you got Kobe Bryant walking around? Fuck Kobe Bryant. Fuck the beach, too.
Starting point is 00:53:43 People in L.A. don't feel like that, though. Everyone's like, oh, L.A. is awesome. Who cares about sports? We got the beach. The beach sucks, too. That's just false. Let the beach, too. People in L.A. don't feel like that, though. Everyone's like, oh, L.A. is awesome. Who cares about sports? We got the beach. The beach sucks, too. That's just false, John Feidelberg. Let me tell you what. Winning Super Bowls is better than any day I ever had at the beach.
Starting point is 00:53:52 He bashed in L.A. Hey, L.A., I have nothing to do with this guy. I'm with you. I love L.A. Absolutely nothing. He's going to get me murdered by the fans. Where are you from originally? I'm from Wisconsin.
Starting point is 00:54:03 So you're from there. All right. I'm from Wisconsin. I mean, from there. I'm from Wisconsin. I mean, that's a different world. Completely. Let's go to L.A.? Completely different. Completely different.
Starting point is 00:54:11 You have? Like, which? The weather's awesome. I mean, it's awkward having, being Christmas and having December and lights being up with no snow. So weird. That's terrible. So weird.
Starting point is 00:54:22 So weird. It's like the Big Ten is football weather. Like, you're not getting football weather in California. No, not ever. Just a couple of rain showers here and there, but not even really with that. You ever hear Phillip Rivers swear before? No. Come on.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Ever? Ever. Not even behind closed doors? No. In, like, a motivational speech to the team? Nothing? No. What's the worst word he's ever said?
Starting point is 00:54:41 Frick. Uh, got dogged. Dogged? I don't think I could trust the guy. Yeah, that's weird. You have to admit it's weird. Is it like someone who doesn't swear, like someone who doesn't drink, or like someone who doesn't eat meat?
Starting point is 00:54:52 I think it's really dope, though. It's really creative, though. The way you talk trash, and how could you talk trash without cursing? Yeah, I know, right? It's impressive. Like if someone, like a defender tackles you, right, and he doesn't swear, like he doesn't swear, he doesn't get you to get the fuck out of my house or something like that,
Starting point is 00:55:09 you'd be like, shut up. I'm coming right at you again because clearly. I usually laugh. Yeah. I think it's funny when people talk to me. Who's the best trash talker? Yeah, what's the best you've ever heard? Who's the best trash talker? People really don't say much to me because I don't respond back
Starting point is 00:55:23 or I'll get really pissed and then start snapping. But let me see. I think my rookie year, no one really said nothing crazy. They just kept on going like, Melvin, Melvin, we see you. I'm like, bro, I just was laughing at it. I was like, bro, I don't know how to respond to that. That's something I've learned recently, that one of the most disrespectful things you can say to a person
Starting point is 00:55:45 is just call them by their name with a little stank on it. Like, shut the fuck up, Kevin. I do that every day. I literally do that every day. I'm like, shut the fuck up, Kevin. If you just call someone their name, it's so mean for some reason. Like, yeah, that's what my mom decided to call me. I don't know why you're saying it like that,
Starting point is 00:56:01 but it fucking hurts my feelings, man. You're the type of guy who's fueled by trash talk, though? It depends on why you're saying it like that, but it fucking hurts my feelings. I'm telling you. You're the type of guy who's fueled by trash talk, though? It depends on what you're saying. Like, and if you, like, shove me or something like that, because a dude from Oakland was, like, talking trash, and then, like, he got under my skin. But it's Oakland, though. And then, like, when I got up, he, like, shoved me,
Starting point is 00:56:18 and then I was like, okay, now I'm finna talk some trash. Yeah. Because I'm salty now. Do you got a go-to line, or you just, like, you let it rip on the spot? I just be like, you know, you got me fucked up or talk some trash. Yeah. Because I'm salty now. Do you got a go-to line or you just like, you let it rip on the spot? I just be like, you know, you got me fucked up or something like that. Yeah. I just do that. You ever get to the point where, because like when football guys get in fights and they're
Starting point is 00:56:34 swinging at each other's helmets, like from our side it looks ridiculous. Have you ever like snap where you're just like, you don't give a fuck that somebody's helmet's on? The only time that I like went, like I like blacked out was in the Minnesota game in college. Other than that, like, I just, I'll get in somebody's face and, like, headbutt them, but. But you're not going to punch a helmet? No, no, I'm not going to punch a helmet. Because that's, like, because you got to think now.
Starting point is 00:56:54 First off, that punch is going to cost you about $20,000. Yeah. I don't think a punch is worth that. I could just speak to you and get my point across like that. I'm not going to punch anybody and lose $20,000. That means I'm out there playing for free, and I don't want that. Well, speaking of get down to a little bit of business, you said you were not going to sign until Le'Veon Bell.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Yeah, someone said that. So that's all cleared up. Someone said that. It sounds like you said that. I probably did say that, but I probably wasn't listening either. So I'm going to sign when they come to me. I'm going to sign. I don't have to wait for Le'Veon Bell.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Let's get that out of the way. But, I mean, I'm just assuming that he's going to sign before they come to me. I'm going to sign. I don't have to wait for Le'Veon Bell. Let's get that out of the way. But, I mean, I'm just assuming that he's going to sign before. I don't know. If they come to me and talk to my agent before, then, you know, man, it is what it is. But with Le'Veon, like, are you looking to see what the market is going to be able to give him? Well, I mean, it really don't make a difference to me, really, because, you know, I feel like Todd and David Johnson kind of set the market. So, I mean, we know what Bill's going to get,
Starting point is 00:57:46 but it don't make a difference to me because they already said it. So, you know. So the news networks just took the headlines and ran with them. Yeah, they did. Honestly, like my agent had called me yesterday, and I was surprised when he said it. I was like, dang, I said that? Like, I probably was just agreeing.
Starting point is 00:58:01 You know how it is. Just Google your name. That's all you're going to see right now. Really? Yeah. It's crazy. That's literally all you're going to see. That's literally all you're going to see. I just popped just agreeing. You know how it is. Just Google your name. That's all you're going to see right now. Really? Yeah. It's crazy. That's literally all you're going to do. I just popped it in.
Starting point is 00:58:09 You got your stats, and it's like, I'm not signing my contract until Le'Veon signs it. It says, tops the world. Melvin Gordon waiting on Le'Veon Bell to sign before pursuing his extension. For real? Damn. Damn. Paul, thank you. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Thank you. That's breaking news. They tell me to come in tomorrow and sign some papers. I will now. That's crazy. Let's let Barstool break that news right now. Yeah, bro. That's breaking news. They tell me to come in tomorrow and sign some papers. I will now. That's crazy. Let's let Barstool break that news right now. Yeah, bro. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:58:29 We were just talking about that with Cordell Stewart because he was up here. We were talking about how, like, that's happening a lot more, like the holdouts and shit like that. Yeah. Do you think that's, like, that's players getting smarter and realizing, like, the dangers of the sport and how it's, you know, it's time to get your money, get a guarantee deal and shit like that? Yeah, facts, man.
Starting point is 00:58:44 But, shoot, like I said, if they come to the table, you'd be crazy to pass it up. I mean, I don't necessarily have to wait for Bell. I honestly don't even know what I said that on. I was so confused, though. I'm going to tell you. What I said on. You said, quote, I'm waiting.
Starting point is 00:58:57 I'm still waiting back. I'm waiting on Le'Veon Bell. Gordon told NFL's media around the NFL podcast. You're on a podcast. Well, someone got the recording. I probably did say it, but I probably don't remember. I don't remember saying it, but I said it. You didn't mean like you just absolutely weren't going to sign.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Yeah. You just mentioned like, oh, maybe he should sign his first. This is an official retraction. Yeah. Damn. So like I said, I didn't know. That podcast was probably stoked to get a big scoop. I probably said it, but they're probably on cloud nine right now, too.
Starting point is 00:59:23 They got that out. I don't know. We're just going to make some shit up, too, now. Yeah. Facts. Just make sure it's good, man. Yeah. We got your back.
Starting point is 00:59:30 We got your back. Let's make some stuff up on the spot. How many more kids does Phillip Rivers need to have before you become a godfather? I don't know, man. God dog. My guy just feels like he's right, so I'm rolling. Once he gets to double digits, I mean, you have to be in there somewhere. Yeah, his on football team.
Starting point is 00:59:45 Yeah. That's pretty dope. That is the craziest shit I've ever seen. I think it's pretty lit. How do you, like, I mean, you can't be more, like, polar opposite than that dude in a lot of ways, right? Have you told him about condoms yet? He's trying to get sex trophies, John. I'm going to leave that alone, bro.
Starting point is 01:00:06 I mean, how do you – can you relate to a dude like that? I mean, obviously when you're between the lines, you know what's up. Like you're both football players. You're both – you know, you have the same goal, all that shit. But off the field or, you know, outside the game, are you just like, hey, Phil, what's up? And he's like, hey. No, Phil's cool, man.
Starting point is 01:00:24 You can definitely talk to Phil just outside of the game, man. He's normal. He's human now. He has a dog. He's human. I don't know about that. I don't think so. The dog is human.
Starting point is 01:00:32 So, I mean, he relates to all of us, which is really dope. That's why I like him, too. Because it's not like he's just too old to where you can't relate or can't talk to him. You know what I'm saying? We have conversations with him all the time. Do you think Tom Brady's too old to relate to? No. You know, I talked to James White.
Starting point is 01:00:46 He said Tom Brady's dope too. He's out here making pump-up videos to many men and bad boys for life. Tom is super relatable. He hates Tom Brady. Tom Brady is the common man. He's such a fucking hater.
Starting point is 01:01:01 His brain is clouded by hatred. I'm seeing clearly it's you guys that are clouded. I don't know about that. Kevin. Kevin. They'll all be made clear when they win this week. There you go. And his teammate is in the locker room with him.
Starting point is 01:01:14 You don't think that's James Cronin? That's my guy, though. That's my guy, though. I don't fucking care about your guy. That's my guy, though. That's my guy, though. Whatever. I understand.
Starting point is 01:01:20 What are your Super Bowl plans? Are you going to the game? No, I'll probably go to Casey. Casey Hayward lives out here. Yeah. So I'll probably go to his crib and watch the game. Which strip club did you hit this week? Facts.
Starting point is 01:01:31 All of them. I figured that out. Going like a pub crawl? Magic City? You going to Magic City? One of them. You know the Claremont? I just got a call about that today.
Starting point is 01:01:37 I bet you did. Yeah, like right before I got here. Is that where you're going right after this? No, no, no. A little too early? I got to hit a couple of runs. Are you a strip club guy? Not really, bro, because my freshman year, we went to a strip club.
Starting point is 01:01:53 In Madison? Yeah. Not in Madison. No, no, no. We went to a bowl game out here. Well, not out here, but in California. Okay. We went to the Rose Bowl, and the chick hustled me, bro.
Starting point is 01:02:03 What? And I woke up the next morning and I was so upset how'd she hustle? she was with the lap dances and stuff you know what I'm saying did you fall in love? I did though
Starting point is 01:02:16 she had me really feeling like she liked me and I was like and I lost like $70 but $70 is a lot to a college kid I woke up I was like, you know, and I lost like $70, but $70 is a lot to college kids. I didn't have, I'm like, I don't have $70. I woke up. I was so upset. That was like my bowl money I had. I was so upset. And I was like, she hustled me. So now when I go to strip clubs, the only way a stripper is going to get something is you got to be like good at what you do. That's the only way. You only respect how? Respect the game? I need to see your craft. So wait, you want to see like
Starting point is 01:02:42 the acrobatics? Yeah. yeah. He's the same way. He wants to see. I'm there to be entertained. Like I want to see the ping pong shows. I want to see like all that. Jesus. Yeah, bro. You can't just be up there and like stomp your feet on the ground.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Like I'm not paying you. Like I've seen a naked woman before. You slide down a pole, there's nothing for me. I want to see Cirque du Soleil naked. That's what I want to see. I don't care about any of that. I go there for the massages. It's like you go there, you get $25 for a massage,
Starting point is 01:03:07 or you go to a massage parlor and pay like $150. It's like, no, I'll give you $25. You get a little shoulder rub. Oh, yeah. Oh, that. No, no, no. I don't want the lap dance. Do they give massages now?
Starting point is 01:03:17 Oh, yeah. Where did you go to? Yeah, well, New York City. Oh, okay. Yeah. I probably got a lot going on out there. Different game out there. What was the stripper's name that did that to you?
Starting point is 01:03:24 Do you remember? I have no idea. Damn, I was hoping you would remember. I can't even fault Melvin, okay. Yeah. I probably got a different game out there. What was the stripper's name that did that to you? You remember? I have no idea. If I do, I'd tell her. I can't even fault Melvin, though. I fall in love with a waitress, let alone a stripper. I fall in love. If you say hi to me, I'm like, God damn, I love you. It was like my first time out of Wisconsin, too.
Starting point is 01:03:37 My first time in Cali, my first time seeing it. It was just, I was shocked, man. This girl's mortified, by the way. This whole story. It was messed up. It was messed up I was shocked, man. This girl's mortified, by the way, in this whole story. It was messed up. It was messed up. It was like jaw to the ground. I thought you were pointing at Erica.
Starting point is 01:03:49 I was like, our CEO doesn't give a fuck about strippers. No, no, no, no. Yeah, I was really about that. I fell in love with a stripper named Jamaica once. Aha. How old were you, though? He was a special one. I was probably like 20, early 20s.
Starting point is 01:04:02 Yeah. 20? Yeah. It's too old? Too old to fall in love with a stripper? I mean, he was like in his early 20s. Yeah. 20? Yeah. 20? It's too old? Too old to fall in love with a stripper? I mean, he's like in his early 20s. What's wrong? You said you were in college?
Starting point is 01:04:10 Yeah, I was young. I was a freshman. I was like 22, 23. I wasn't even able to be in there, I don't think. Like 18. Well, you also never met Jamaica. I'm falling in love with Jamaica right fucking now. That's all that girl can do.
Starting point is 01:04:21 Shout out Jamaica. Where was Jamaica? In New York? Yep. Flash dancers. What do you do? A special one. What do you out Jamaica. Where was Jamaica? In New York? Yep. Flash dancers. What do you do? It's a special one. What do you think she's doing right now?

Starting point is 01:04:36 The guy came over, and he was like, Jamaica, we told you about this. And he, like, she got, like, pulled off the fucking floor for the night. I mean, you should have white knighted for her. Yeah, she was a special one. We had a thing, Melvin, so don't fucking hate. No, no, no, man. Do your thing, bro. You hear about, what's the,

It's a wild thing. It's a thing. Not for real? No, I swear to God. It's called the Claremont. It's called the Claremont Motel. Where is that? Now I don't want to go.
Starting point is 01:05:08 There's a lady named Blondie who will actually come over and put your head between her tits and then she'll smash a beer can with it. Yeah, she's like a legend. With her tits, not your head.
Starting point is 01:05:15 She's like an Atlanta legend. Yeah. That's pretty impressive. Yeah. I don't think I want to see that. That's what I'm here for. Try to be up for the beer can. Yeah, that's pretty gross man

Now, every performance ain't going to be like it, but, you know. You got a little rivalry going with Todd Gurley? Not, I mean, not really. Me and Todd are actually really cool. But, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:06:12 We've been competing since college, which is how it is. Yeah, but, I mean, right now it's a battleground for, like, L.A. bragging rights. Yeah. And within that, there's a battleground for, you know, running back bragging rights. Yeah, yeah. It's you and him. He get the love, bro. He get the love. You know, he had the rookie of the year. I mean, he came
Starting point is 01:06:32 in splashing, and mine was just like, he came in here, and I've just been steadily bubbling up, right? You're in it for the long haul. Yeah. You're playing that long game. That's my goal. Nothing wrong with that. I have a feeling at some point, hopefully you'll be
Starting point is 01:06:46 doing this Super Bowl week on the other side. Yeah, once Tom Brady retires, man, you probably got it. Chill out, chill out, chill out. I just said I was a complete Tom Brady fan. Any other time
Starting point is 01:06:55 I go against Tom Brady, it's just this year. Yeah, no, I know. You go against Tom Brady every once in a while and it doesn't turn out well for you, but... Smash him.
Starting point is 01:07:02 You can hit it. You're allowed to hit it. You're allowed to hit it. You're allowed to hit it. You're allowed to hit it. Whack. That's that cocky New England right there. That's what that is. Why would I not be cocky?
Starting point is 01:07:12 What has stopped me from being cocky? You're on one today. I really, really, really want to see how you do when he retires. Thank you. Oh. You guys are... Hey, Kelvin, in like seven or eight years, right? Because at this fucking age...
Starting point is 01:07:23 First of all, yeah. He's probably a robot. Second of all, when he retires, I'll probably retire too. I'll just be like, I'm done with football. Me and Tom, I'm done. Make sure you're still repping, boy. We're going to talk about you because y'all are probably going to suck. Y'all lost your security blanket.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Who's that? Garoppolo. What do you mean? We're going to get another one in the draft this year. How do we have a security blanket who gets hurt, what, week three? I mean, that's just football, but he was your security blanket. Yeah, he got hurt week three with us, too.
Starting point is 01:07:52 I think Bill Belichick was going to let Brady go and make Garoppolo the guy. There were rumors of that, fights. If they let Garoppolo go, they're not here right now. I mean, if they keep Garoppolo, they're not here right now. That's not true. That is very true. You don't know that. Oh, I know it. You don't know that. Melvin, I know it very well.
Starting point is 01:08:08 He's dropping the name. This guy's losing his fucking mind. We would have had to pay Jimmy Garoppolo starter money. We can't afford most of the guys we have now. You probably have to get rid of Gilmore. You probably got to see Gronk, see if he'll take over the last money. They wouldn't have paid him big starter money. They don't pay anybody. Jimmy said he'd only stay for starter money,
Starting point is 01:08:23 and even then, he didn't even care for that. Melvin, listen, bro, he's going to do this all night long. You can what he told me. He didn't pay anybody. Jimmy said he'd only stay for starter money and even then he didn't even care for that. Melvin, listen, bro. He's going to do this all night long. You can't fucking beat him. They're telling you you got to roll anyway so we appreciate you
Starting point is 01:08:32 coming through, man. Thank you very much. Oh yeah, man. Thanks for having me. Enjoy the strip club. Say hi to Jamaica. Thank you, Melvin. We'll keep it moving here.

Starting point is 01:09:39 I don't need to cop to my dick. My dick's fine. Dick's fine? Yeah. And drink your Bud Lights, of course. Yeah. Your dick's fine? I mean, yeah, fine. I'm not going to say good. It's fine. Dick's fine? Yeah. And drink your Bud Lights, of course. Yeah. Your dick's fine? I mean, yeah, fine.
Starting point is 01:09:47 I'm not going to say good. It's fine. Quite a statement. It's functional. Mediocre. Yeah. Like everything else, just keep the bar nice and low. Very average, very mediocre, and functional.
Starting point is 01:09:56 That's really all you're looking for. What a selling point that is. I'm not trying to sell. Just try to not disappoint. I'm never selling. I'm hoping if someone falls into it, it doesn't disappoint. You know what did not disappoint last night? Pop Punk.
Starting point is 01:10:10 Pop Punk came here last night. It's crazy to even think that this is the same place. There were 400 people packed in here. 400 people in here. Do we have on Spotify yet, do we have Rones or Pop Punks Lose Yourself remix? No, no, no. Love Yourself.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Love Yourself. First of all, I would like to go I love Justin Bieber. I think most of the girls that work at Barstool love Justin Bieber. I love Justin Bieber. I mean, but I think we love him in a different way. Nardini, you went so hard during Love Yourself. You were like, get the fuck out of the way. She was swim moving.
Starting point is 01:10:42 It was great. Get Nardini and Mike. That was so unbelievable. We were song, move. It was great. Get Nardini and Mike. That was so unbelievable. We were all rocking out, but Bieber hit. Give me some noise for Nardini. She makes it all possible. You know what it reminded me of? It reminded me when we were at the OAR concert.
Starting point is 01:10:56 Yes, your jam came on. And I was the only one that liked that song. Yes, OAR played all their hits. Nardini liked some one obscure song, and she was all alone, just jam band rocking out to it. She wasn't alone last night with Love Yourself. I was in the green room
Starting point is 01:11:11 trying to blog our vlog, and I heard it, and I just dropped my computer and ran in. I think I ran into Erica. I said this last night. That's one of the top five sexiest things that Barstool's ever done. Pop Bonker. The Justin Bieber remix.
Starting point is 01:11:24 Oh, 100%. Someone hasn't completed their sexual harassment training. Neither has Erica. You haven't done your sexual harassment... That was. I'm not going to do that.
Starting point is 01:11:33 I'm just not going to do that course. I'm just telling you now it'll probably be a problem. What happens if we don't do it? Sexual harassment, February 14th. What happens if...
Starting point is 01:11:41 What if we don't do it? That was kind of my calling card in my previous life. I just never did those trainings. So I think I'm just going to keep that going. Yeah. Are we don't do it? That was kind of my calling card in my previous life. I just never did those trainings. So I think I'm just going to keep that going. Are we going to get fired? Did you hear about the two-hour version? Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:52 There's a two-hour version. Yes. We don't have to do that, though. For management. Yeah, like Keith had to do it. Oh, so ours is shorter than two hours? Yeah. There's a 30-minute version.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Oh, okay. I'll do the 30 minutes. 30 minutes is like a two-hour version. We should do it live on the radio. Well, that's pretty funny, though, that it's like the talent can do a 30-minute fake sexual harassment thing, but you guys got a two-hour. They're like, don't grab her ass. Don't grab her ass. Unless she wants to.
Starting point is 01:12:15 Unless she would like you to grab her ass. That's okay. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. We need to just do it live on air, Kevin. That's what we should do is do our sexual harassment training on air. No way. Erica liked it.
Starting point is 01:12:24 I think that's a great idea. Yeah, I think it's a air, Kevin. That's what we should do, is do our sexual harassment training on air. No way. Erica liked it. I think that's a great idea. Yeah, I think it's a fucking great idea. You guys want to watch me do a sexual harassment course in 30 minutes? All of us. Let's go get our laptops right now and just fire up sexual harassment training. Has anyone completed it? No. And why? Keith finished it day one. So did Gaz. Oh, Gaz.
Starting point is 01:12:40 Gaz is going to be the two-hour crew. That's trying to cleanse a guilty mind. Basically, the whole company has to do it. Gaz had it done within, like, 15 minutes. Yeah. I still haven't done it. Gaz was like, I got it done. Right away. Jesus.
Starting point is 01:12:54 Nardini, what do you think about this week? Like, we're taking over once again. I think it's awesome. Yeah. We don't even have to try very hard. What do you think about the odds of the next person to be arrested? Oh, I love that. Odds on favorite? 100%.
Starting point is 01:13:07 Why though? Is it because he's been to jail the most? Because he said he likes jail. No, because when Feidover gets all like riled up, he's like a top and it just starts going and you're like eh. I like to describe myself as a puppy. But yeah, a top too. A puppy top. Once I get riled up, I'm like
Starting point is 01:13:23 Like he'll be talking to himself. And there's no one to talk him off the ledge. That's true. That's true. Kevin encourages it. Yeah, both of our guests today have tried to talk you off the ledge and you just weren't having it. Won't have it. Won't have it.
Starting point is 01:13:40 Melvin Gordon should have slapped you. I mean, you're talking about... Melvin Gordon just broke news on our radio show. Kind of, yeah. That's not out on the internet right now. Our social team should be fired. What, that is not? They're taking the sexual harassment track.
Starting point is 01:13:51 No, with him saying that he would sign his contract right now, he's like, I didn't even know that was a thing. It's literally the only thing on Google right now. I'm looking, it's a direct quote. He's like, I didn't say that. I'm like, pretty sure you did. You're definitely a step up. But I get that, man.
Starting point is 01:14:04 Every time we do a podcast, we go out afterwards and we're like, so what should the highlights, what should the social highlights of that podcast be? Never remember. And you and I are both like, I don't remember what I said in there. No. Once you get the headphones on, it's like, you black out. You kind of become like. Oh, I definitely black out.
Starting point is 01:14:18 I think that's a little bit different, though. Podcast recording is like, or any kind of microphone talking, you kind of get in the moment. And it's like, you go through the Bermuda Triangle. Like, shit didn't really happen until the next day when the podcast gets dropped. You're like, oh. Oh, yeah, I did say that. You promised not to commit suicide for a year.
Starting point is 01:14:33 There's a quote today completely out of context, I guess. I don't even know. I just said, I promise I will not kill myself this year. And Feitz was like, I'm going to hold you to that. I have no idea what the conversation is. It was on the podcast? Yes. I got absolutely no reason. To be fair, anything that any what the conversation was. It was on the podcast? Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 01:14:45 I got absolutely no reason. I mean, to be fair, anything that any of us say at Barstool, you get held accountable. I can't even be watching a fucking movie without being ridiculed for things that I say. I never hold myself accountable for things that I say. Yes, we know that. We do know that. We definitely know that. That's a thing.
Starting point is 01:14:58 I'm not a man of integrity. But Pup Punk last night, we've said it a couple times, but it's so true. It's the only thing that Barstool Sports does where everybody is in agreement and genuine and supportive and happy and having fun. It's wild. I don't know why. I don't know. It's different from a podcast. It's different from videos.
Starting point is 01:15:22 I think it's because none of us can do that. Yeah. There's no competition. There's no, different from videos. I think it's because none of us can do that. Yeah. There's no competition. There's no like, well, I'm a good singer or a fucking bassist or drummer too. There's layers to it. Only Francis. A, none of us can do it. B, it's instant feedback.
Starting point is 01:15:37 There are people there that are going nuts. So you're excited that they're excited to see this. And I think the other thing too too, is you can just... We love all the music, so it's something that we all enjoy. We don't have to pretend to enjoy it, something like that. But then you just look at, not to single out Roan, like all the guys are talented, but you just look at Roan in his element.
Starting point is 01:15:57 And I said it to Erica, I was like, it's just so fucking unfair how talented he is at everything. I know. Just pick one thing. He's good looking, he is at everything. I know. Like, just pick one thing. Like, he's good looking. He can rap. Like, what he writes is funny. He's musically talented.
Starting point is 01:16:11 It's insane. He's nice. But he's, like, acting. And that's the thing, too. He's method acting. Like, the guys were saying before they went on the stage, they were like, yeah, like, we can't talk to Roan before the show because he's already in character.
Starting point is 01:16:24 He's Derek. Yes. You know what he threw up last night? Yes, I did see that. He went so hard during the encore of Faith that he fucking puked. And then they had to do another song. It was before the encore, right? Or it was the first encore?
Starting point is 01:16:37 They didn't know they were doing an encore. They went out and they were fucking doing an encore. Devlin made him do it, which was a great move. He said he went into blackout mode. He was like, you have to give the people an encore. You can't just end. But he went so hard on Faith. You gotta have Faith.
Starting point is 01:16:50 Shut the fuck up. And he puked and then came in and I think he did two Christmases. Is that why? No, he puked after two Christmases. But he puked because he was screaming during Faith. And then when he did, what is it? Just One Christmas? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:03 And then when he was singing that one. If he puked on stage? Yeah, that's rock and roll. He tweeted today that the eyeliner was still burning his eyes. I was like, why was the eyeliner running in his eyes? I had to put on eyeliner. You put it on wrong. That's not what makes it burn. It's he's throwing up
Starting point is 01:17:19 and his eyes were watering. Kevin, you think just because I was putting on eyeliner? That just changed a lot of things for me. Just like how the eyes burn for days after. I didn't know that. Kevin, you think just because I was putting on eyeliner? So that just changed a lot of things for me. What? Just like how the eyes burn for days after. I didn't know that. That's new information. I don't think that they burn for days.
Starting point is 01:17:33 Well, it's a day later. Whatever. I didn't do a good job putting on the eyeliner. I'll be completely honest. It was not great. It looked great. The whole show was awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:43 And when I grow up, I want to be Rowan. That's really what it comes down to. I would just like to trade lives with ron remember how i had that everyone said it was an outrageous take to say that i wouldn't trade lives with justin timberlake it's i'm standing by that but you trade lives with ron yes okay well that's why what's the justin timberlake thing here i said i wouldn't trade lives with justin timberlake uh because he has a kid no because he's like i'm basically like snapping my fingers and aging like 10 years. You have so many bad things.
Starting point is 01:18:08 I'm married. I'm not like a... Yeah, but you're snapping your fingers 10 years later and your career has gone as well as it possibly could have.
Starting point is 01:18:16 Sure, but... Also, 10 years is not that much, bro. And I'm also going to be... And you're rich and you'll be healthy forever because you're rich. 30 to 40, I feel like
Starting point is 01:18:24 is going to be enjoyable. 40 is the new 30. Yeah. And if you stood be healthy forever because you're rich. 30 to 40, I feel like, is going to be enjoyable. 40 is the new 30. Yeah. And if you stood by the fact that you wouldn't trade lives with anybody. I didn't say that. I said I just wouldn't trade with Justin Timberlake. I thought, no, when you did this whole Justin Timberlake thing, you said you would not trade lives with anyone.
Starting point is 01:18:36 I just haven't thought of anyone that I would. I mean, I'm open. Now Roan. Yes, Roan. Yeah. I don't mind trading lives with Roan, but you also have to include Timberlake. 300%. But I'd be Roan in a heartbeat. After that...
Starting point is 01:18:47 I'm giving Jared shit, but I actually do tend to lean towards your... Yeah, because it's like, if I trade... I understand he has a shit ton of money and he's successful. Why the fuck do I... What do I mean Justin Timberlake?
Starting point is 01:18:57 Why do I want to be him? Yeah. The copious amounts of money and like sex icon. But we just had a conversation about how Roger Goodell makes $44 million and he still can't stay. Yeah, but that's why Timberlake's perfect because he's like, nobody hates him, he doesn a conversation about how Roger Goodell makes $44 million. But that's why Timberlake's perfect because he's like,
Starting point is 01:19:07 nobody hates him. He doesn't have any beef. He doesn't have any problems. No, I don't think anybody hates him. He just lives a great life. That's fine. So does the Rocket. I hate being me. I thrive on hatred. I also really like being me. You're the worst. I am the worst. Let's absolutely go to a break. Let's absolutely stop this conversation. I fucking hate
Starting point is 01:19:23 Fidelberg today. Hate him. He's on one. You are on one today. We'll be back after the break. Let's absolutely stop this conversation. I fucking hate Fidelberg today. Hate him. He's on one. You are on one. We'll be back after the break. I'm already back! Ah! Coming to you from the IV in Buckhead, Atlanta. This is Barstool Radio's coverage of Super Bowl 53. Alright, we're back.
Starting point is 01:19:46 Hey, Mama. Shout out to Ellen. She's Barstool's number one mom. I miss Ellen. Yeah? Aw. I haven't been home in a while. You going to go take her to Kowloon?
Starting point is 01:19:55 Maybe, man. I don't know. Ellen likes, she's a big seafood gal. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah. I'll take her out to a nice seafood dinner. No. Why not?
Starting point is 01:20:04 Actually, yeah, sure. Would you let me take your mother out? Yeah, I would. I'll take her out to a nice seafood dinner. No. Why not? Actually, yeah, sure. Would you let me take your mother out? Yeah, I would. I'd be comfortable with that. You should be. Well, yeah, you're repulsive enough. I feel safe. Can I hang out with your mom?
Starting point is 01:20:16 Ellen wouldn't like me, huh? Would you let Feidelberg take your mom out? Yeah. He's repulsive too? Well, no, I just think he doesn't have bad intentions like you do. I don't have bad intentions. What did I just hear? I'd let you do dinner with my mom if you wanted to.
Starting point is 01:20:31 Okay. Yeah. What did I walk in on? They were playing Hey Mama to come back from the break. I said Ellen is like Barstool's number one mom. Yeah. She's at the front lines. What's happening right now?
Starting point is 01:20:42 I'm so bad at this mic. I don't know why I have fucking zugs. Come on up for a second, bro. Give Roan the mic, the stick mic. Roan! Yeah. We were just, uh... We were basically just sucking your dick for a little bit.
Starting point is 01:20:53 Yo! It's about time. The Love Yourself remix. It went hard. It goes hard. That needs to be on, like, Spotify. That needs to be... I need a studio version
Starting point is 01:21:05 of that yeah I need we can all retire off that shit that was so fucking fire it starts soft
Starting point is 01:21:11 but then it turns up it turns up fast and the people responded yeah they responded to the turn up you tickled the balls with that one
Starting point is 01:21:19 like I knew like I haven't I hadn't heard any secrets about this but when you started slow I was like this is the tickle in the balls. I was like, when are you going to start jerking me off real hard? And, buddy, I went to town on that chat. I was not gentle with you at all.
Starting point is 01:21:34 It was fun. It was a wild one for sure. How about puking during faith? Dude, I threw up as soon as I got off the stage. I walked outside and threw up right away. The only mistake you had all night, you should have threw up on stage. It would have been such a rock star moment.
Starting point is 01:21:50 Like on people? Yes. And that crowd last night would have been like, it would have loved it. It would have been like Ozzy Osbourne biting the head off a bat, Roan just puking on the front row with the IV. We've been watching so much wrestling this week that I was thinking about having a razor
Starting point is 01:22:04 and cutting my forehead and just bleeding all over the place and just like spitting blood on people i thought they might not like that though especially because the front row was like us yeah maybe maybe don't spit and the eyeliner made your eyes burn i feel badly about that it wasn't your fault i think i just am not built for it like i couldn't like look at the sun this morning like i couldn't go outside. Like, is that normal for eyeliner? No, but that makes me feel like maybe my eyeliner is faulty. No, no. I think it works on you, right? It does, yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:32 I can look happy. I'm fine. I just have a child's body. Did you notice the Fordham Pussy Patrol? Bad. Did you see that video? I didn't notice them at the time. What did you notice? I watched that video about 50 times. I couldn't get enough of it. The dance move where Spider and Daniela are like touching hands and waving back and forth was one of the most electric dance moves these guys have made.
Starting point is 01:22:52 You know what Frankie said this morning at the house? He was like, we need to quit as a band. We can't have people dancing like that at our concerts. That's the take he had. He was like, fuck that. I can't do it. That's not a reflection of pop punk. I'm not even going to take that as a reflection of Fordham.
Starting point is 01:23:05 That's just a Spider and Tommy thing. If you didn't see the video, go follow Riggs on Twitter. He put the tweet out. The Fordham Pussy Posse, Pussy Patrol. It was bad. Tommy Smokes is doing, he's just doing like the dad dance. Very dad-ish. And Spider is doing some sort of fucking, some sort of weird Millie Rock thing.
Starting point is 01:23:22 The whole thing was, it looked like you took a special ed class and like brought him to a to an event it's like a scratch and sniff of uncomfortability like the shit comes off of the page like you can feel it like in your bones just visceral for sure i have a question for you ron so we're up on stage where you perform last night and i noticed like when you look out into the crowd it almost looks like you're looking beyond everyone do you make eye contact with the crowd when you look out into the crowd, it almost looks like you're looking beyond everyone. Do you make eye contact with the crowd when you're performing, or is there something, like, out there that you're just looking at? Most shows, I do make eye contact.
Starting point is 01:23:55 Last night, there was a spotlight on me, and I couldn't see one face in the crowd. Okay. Not even, like, right here. That's better, though. Yeah. I couldn't see anybody, so I was just, like, looking off into the distance. I could see there was, like, two monitors where I could kind of see myself. I wanted to make sure I was framed up, but other than that... That's why your eyes are burning, not the eyeliner. Let's blame it on that. Yeah, I was just looking at myself the entire time. I was like, monitors where i could kind of see myself i wanted to make sure i was framed up but other than that that's why your eyes are burning not the eyeliner yeah i was just looking at myself the entire time it's like wow that's tough to look at you're looking
Starting point is 01:24:10 into the sun right yeah that's a problem your eyes burn you're looking into the sun exactly but you would you be nervous do you get nervous yeah would you be more nervous if you could see the people no that it's not about that it's just like i want to make sure i remember the fucking words to these songs. We all know the songs, but the little, and I messed up a bunch of words, but for the most part, I got a lot of the stuff I was worried about hitting. But it's really I just don't want to completely forget and just be up there holding the fucking bag, just looking real goofy.
Starting point is 01:24:39 Well, that's when you put the mic out to the crowd. They know the words. Exactly. That's a pro move right there. And whenever notes are too high for me to sing, right out to the crowd. Right out to the crowd. What know the words. That's a pro move right there. And whenever notes are too high for me to sing, that's a crowd. Right out to the crowd. What was your highlight last night? Outkast?
Starting point is 01:24:51 Being done. Could you imagine now, dude, imagine if you're on tour and it's like hundreds of cities across the world. Like if I had to do it again tonight? Hell no. Hell no. We need to space these out. I don't know how you can do it. I sang along with half the words to one song, and I was gassed. How you did that for like an hour and a half straight was, I mean, beyond me, really.
Starting point is 01:25:17 I was drenched with sweat. I walked out, threw up last night. This morning, breaking news, I pooped myself. Wait, what? It all myself. Wait, what? It all happened. Wait, what? I was in my hotel room still, but I mean, like, I was like on my way out. You pooped yourself this morning?
Starting point is 01:25:33 This morning. I didn't know you moved out of the house. I don't think that has anything to do with Pop-Pop. No, it was like whatever. I think it was like an Adderall and then like some kind of heartburn and I didn't, a heartburn medicine. Were you just in bed? And I didn't eat anything.
Starting point is 01:25:46 No, I was like on the way out to do like a radio hit like 20 minutes north. I was like going out the door. Thought I was about to fart. Nope. Sure wasn't. Did you go back in and change? I was still in my room. I just like kicked open the fucking bathroom door.
Starting point is 01:26:01 Fucking just, sure enough, there was poop in my pants. Nobody better than you, babe. Nobody better than you, man. Jared, you still want to trade lives with him? Yeah, no. You want to trade lives? Did you hear that?
Starting point is 01:26:14 He would not trade lives with Justin Timberlake, but he would trade lives with you. It's not worth it, bro. Yeah, it is. I'm telling you right now, bro. It's not worth it. I was thinking about it,
Starting point is 01:26:22 and I mean, like, even with the poop in the pants, I would still... like, if that was the entry point where it was like, alright, you can become Rowan, but you have to become him in this situation, like, that's, like, where you start, I'd still take it. I'm saying, is it worth, like, having
Starting point is 01:26:35 an awesome show and people are happy and you had a fun time afterwards? And then you puke yourself. And then you have to puke and poop yourself? Yeah. That's almost like a hypothetical you guys would ask. Like, you can have the best show of your life in front of everyone, but you have to puke and poop yourself. Yeah. That's almost like a hypothetical you guys would ask. You can have the best show of your life in front of everyone, but you have to puke and poop yourself. That actually kind of reminds me of one that we've been asking recently. We'll ask Rowan.
Starting point is 01:26:54 You can have sex with the girl of your dreams, but she gives a national press conference at CNN, Fox News. They're all there. She gives a national press conference on your performance right afterwards. I don't care at all. Yeah, I think I'm with Jared. Flag fly forever. I mean, it still counts. I'm talking about pooping myself on the radio.
Starting point is 01:27:12 It's not my show. It's out of market a little bit, but fuck it. So you're alright with the potential like, just evisceration? Just perform better. What the fuck? Yeah. I want to dunk a basketball. Just jump better. What the fuck? Yeah. Who can't? According to you. Does she have to be honest?
Starting point is 01:27:26 I want to dunk a basketball. Just jump higher. No, just pause your A game. Time out. Can she lie? No, no, no. She gives an honest. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:34 I mean, she's just going to be like, well, you know, obviously I've had better. I wish it lasted longer, but it wasn't terrible. Listen, she's not Bill Belichick. She's not giving the one word answer. She's out here giving full detailed descriptions. Yeah, I don't care. Like, she's not going to say it was terrible. She's just not going to give a rave review. No, if it was terrible, she's going to say
Starting point is 01:27:50 it was terrible. Yeah, she's going to give me like 2.9 stars and like, that's fine. But if you know this press conference is coming, then can't you kind of prepare your performance? No, I think it's a lot of more time on the front end. But look, there have been times I knew it was coming and I still, I didn't make the game.
Starting point is 01:28:06 Bro, you can try. The more mental preparation, the worse it's going to be. What's the Thanos quote? Oh, run from it. Destiny still arrives. Destiny still arrives, man. I can know the stakes, and you're still going to get that same performance. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:19 I've actually, I've puked. No. If there's like a. You don't know what you're talking about. It doesn't work that way. I know. I'm listening to Ron. What he just said is if you know that the girl is going to give a press conference,
Starting point is 01:28:28 I'm not saying you have to be able to dunk a basketball, but you can at least give your own version of an A game. I'm going to try. Yes. There you go. I mean, I always try to give the A game. I try every day. Press conference or not.
Starting point is 01:28:39 Yeah. I fail every day. At everything. Every podcast I go into, we're going to crush this one. Walk out. Fail. Every day. It was all right. I'm going, we're going to crush this one. Walk out. Every day. It was all right. I'm going to write my funniest blog ever.
Starting point is 01:28:48 It was okay. I'm going to fuck the hottest girl ever. I mean, she was hot. Is it the hottest girl ever or just like your dream girl? You know, whichever. That was underrated. Your dream girl is not the hottest girl ever? That was underrated.
Starting point is 01:29:00 I don't think so. Who's your dream girl? Andrea Russett, YouTuber. She's my dream girl. What? A YouTuber? Yeah. Good for you.
Starting point is 01:29:09 Are you planting seeds right now? Is she listening? Yeah, so keep that bar low. She's got like millions of followers. That sounds attainable though. Maybe. If you're a YouTuber, you're attainable. That's just a fact.
Starting point is 01:29:20 You're online. Maybe, yeah. If you're online, you're attainable. Yeah, Barstool is attainable. All right, guys. Appreciate you. Thank you, Rone.'s like Barstool is attainable. You're attainable. Yeah, Barstool is attainable. All right, guys. Appreciate you. My man, thank you, Rone. Sorry for your bad morning, Rone.
Starting point is 01:29:29 Most talented guy in the world right there. He just walked into a speaker. He just ran into the speaker. There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes. What a fucking day. I'm looking at this Andrea Russell girl. Yeah, what about it?
Starting point is 01:29:41 23. Yep. YouTuber. Yep. She's only 23? She's from Fort Wayne, Indiana. She is. Yep. YouTuber. Yep. She's only 23? She's from Fort Wayne, Indiana. She is. This guy's a creep.
Starting point is 01:29:48 Indiana. Yeah. Lives in L.A. now. Indiana produces at just a great rate. Porn stars. Really? Yeah. Tell us more, Fred.
Starting point is 01:29:55 I think I know of like two. I just know I think Christy Mack and Tiana Trump are from there. Two's enough. Two of the top dogs. Two legends of the game. All it takes. Absolute legends of the game. All it takes. Absolute legends of the game. I love that you know their hometowns, man.
Starting point is 01:30:07 You really do take it to another level. You take it to a special place with the poor people. I might be wrong. The Tiana Trump I just learned in her most recent interview that was really over the top, when she was talking about body count. That was too much. She said, I grew up in Indiana,
Starting point is 01:30:20 so she meant that she used to drive to Notre Dame and IU to fuck people. Jared, you know Tiana Trump, right? Recently, yes. I became familiar with her work. So she did this interview where she was talking about, was it high school or college fights? High school. She was just like, in high school, I would go to parties, and I would just fuck everybody.
Starting point is 01:30:41 She said she would drive to Notre Dame and drive to IU. She said her senior year of high school, her body count was 86. Jesus. In high school? Yeah. Jesus. Yeah, I think Hubs blogged that. I was like, you had to have gotten that number wrong.
Starting point is 01:30:53 He was like, no, I didn't. I mean, there were even 86, like, people. She was driving to colleges. There literally were not 86 people in my graduating class. There were 82. I mean, she probably just took it like 10 at a time, too, though. But she was driving to colleges. Yeah, she said she kept a burn
Starting point is 01:31:10 book of it. Just be like, wasn't worth it, was worth it. If that's the bar, goddammit, I hope I clear it. If the bar is like Harvard pass fail shit, like, I gotta pass, please. If you I got to pass. Please.
Starting point is 01:31:31 If you were in that region during Tiana Trump's reign and you did not fuck her, you are a loser. Fucking kill yourself. How old is she? Fuck if I know. I have no idea. I'm good at gauging ages, bad at gauging porn star ages. Like, Bonnie Rotten was 18. I thought she would have been 36 at least. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:31:43 That was a rough 18, man. Tiana Trump is? She was born in 95. Okay. 24? Jesus Christ. Is that right? I mean, that's about where I would have said.
Starting point is 01:31:56 That's about right. We should talk to the crowd again. Anybody got any more questions? Get that mic going out there. If you have any questions, let us know. You want to join in the program. My guy Andy will bring out the mic stick there. I'm still not over the guy that just asked Jared why he was famous.
Starting point is 01:32:10 He was like, I follow Barstool closely. What the fuck do you do? That was such a dick. And you gave such a great answer. I'm shocked at how good your answer was. I'm a changed man. Oh, are you? I prefaced my response by saying fuck you to him.
Starting point is 01:32:23 That's true. I said, number one, fuck you. Number two, here's my well-thought-out response. What's that? Waka's coming up? All right, cool. Waka Flocka in a minute. As he's coming up, I mentioned it before, Brody Van Wagenen.
Starting point is 01:32:35 Yeah. Did you finally watch the video? I did watch the video. Challenging. My GM is now challenging other GMs to a home run derby. You made it sound more cringy than I felt that it was after I watched it. I didn't think it was cringy. I just think it's like, God damn it.
Starting point is 01:32:48 Why do they need to do that when they know that the fan base is like people like me? But it's like, did they do nothing this offseason? No. If they were coming off a stinky ass offseason, then he's in the cage ripping line drives being like, hey, GMs, you want to do a fucking home run derby? It's like, dude, do your job. But I mean, he's doing his job and he's ripping liners. He's He's like, dude, do your job. But I mean, he's doing his job
Starting point is 01:33:06 and he's ripping liners. He's got a pretty good swing, right? He does. I mean, it's not great, but he even he's humble, too. He didn't put out a video like Steve, my fucking producer. He put out a video in the batting cage from Winter Weekend and he thought that he actually looked good doing it. He sucks. His swing sucks.
Starting point is 01:33:22 Like, BV Dubs put out a video taking like actual rips and he was like, I gotta work on my swing. Like, BVDubs put out a video taking, like, actual rips, and he was like, I got to work on my swing. Wait, wait, wait. So Steve was, like, what? He put out a video. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He put out, like, he was, like, in the batting cage hitting, like, like, if he's in the batting cage, right,
Starting point is 01:33:36 he's swinging and the balls are, like, line drives, maybe, like, four feet in front of him. They were hitting, like, the bottom of the cage. And then he had one of them, like, it, like, blew up the Death Star. It was like, Steve, like, that the bottom of the cage, and then he had one of them blew up the Death Star. I was like, Steve, these are all ground ball outs to the third baseman. But he had a better swing,
Starting point is 01:33:54 and he was humble about it. He was like, yeah, I got to work on my swing, but if any GM wants to step up and do a home run derby, here I am. And that's after acquiring one of the best closers in the game. It's good for him. Is there any GM, like who would win that? Probably, I mean, I feel like if, that would be the most boring home run derby of all time.
Starting point is 01:34:12 You'd have to move it. It would have to make some softball. Yeah, it would have to be like the, what was the jock jam celebrity softball? Rock and jock. Yeah. Rock and jock was not the baseball. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:21 The basketball. It is up there with the WWF attitude era is the most entertaining thing of all time. Yeah. If they did Rock and Jock now, it would be... That's the one thing we need to do as Barstool, is bring back Rock and Jock. I think by now we've acquired enough celebrities and enough
Starting point is 01:34:35 characters. If we could be like, you're playing pick-up basketball today, it would be the best. It'd be fun. Would basketball be the best sport to do it with? Yes. Yeah, because... I feel like black football would be pretty dope. You have to have so many people for that. Like the ten point shots and the peach basket and shit like that. Yeah. Football's just
Starting point is 01:34:51 football, man. Yeah, I guess. You can do more trick stuff. But you'd actually get like legit NFL quarterbacks to be the quarterback. Yeah, that is true. We got enough connections. Like Jared Goff could in theory win the Super Bowl and then just come play in this. And be on Team Portnoy.
Starting point is 01:35:06 Yes. We got a question in the crowd. What's up, man? Hey, Jared. Hey. This might be a Section 10 question, but I'd love to hear the strip club story. So, hold on. What time is it?
Starting point is 01:35:19 That's it? It's just the strip club story? It's like the infamous strip club story? Yeah. There's only 15 minutes left in the show, so unfortunately, yeah, we can't tell it. What is the strip club story? It's like the infamous strip club story? Yeah. There's only 15 minutes left in the show so unfortunately we can't tell it. What is the strip club story?
Starting point is 01:35:30 It's like a running gag on it. Well, there actually is a strip club story. We're just never telling it. And we always get a down in the DM segment and it's one of our last questions that we answer
Starting point is 01:35:38 and it's like we're usually out of time. But we really, in order for me to tell it with the full effect I would need more than 15 minutes so we really do not have enough time to tell the strip club story.
Starting point is 01:35:46 I just broke news to Kevin anyway. I mean, Hub... What? The Knicks traded Porzingis? Hub just texted me and goes, Does Kevin know that Porzingis got traded? And I was like, Well, he does now. Who?
Starting point is 01:35:58 I got a text from him earlier saying that Porzingis... What the fuck? He was saying like Porzingis might get traded. He feels he's going to get traded. They're going to talk about it next week. And now he's on the Mavericks. It's him and fucking Luka together. What a fucking bomb squad of fucking and now Waka.
Starting point is 01:36:17 Damn, Kevin. I'm sorry. I should have waited until after the fucking show for that. Damn, that's tough, Kevin. That's tough. That's real tough. It's okay though. You got Waka coming up. This is probably, I mean, they just have to win the fucking show for that. Damn, that's tough, Kevin. That's tough. That's real tough. It's okay, though. You got Waka coming up. Yeah. This is probably, I mean, they just have to win the fucking draft.
Starting point is 01:36:29 They just have to win the lottery here. They have to. What's up, man? How we doing, bro? Oh, shit. I got a whirlwind of emotions going right now. I have to talk to Waka Flocka while processing that Christoph Porzingis
Starting point is 01:36:41 just got traded. The great white hope. The guy who was supposed to be the one. The great white hope has got... Damn. Christoph Porzingis just got traded. The great white hope. The guy who was supposed to be the one. The great white hope has got... Christoph Porzingis just got traded, Waka. To the Mavericks. He's devastated. He doesn't give a fuck.
Starting point is 01:36:56 Most people don't. You don't think that's a big deal? It's a big deal. I'm not a fan of the Mavericks. That was funny. He's a miserable sports fan, so anything that happens, he's just miserable. I think I like it, though. We got a fucking bottom out. We got a tank, and we got to get Zion.
Starting point is 01:37:12 So I think I'm all right with it. Anyway, what's up, Waka? Life. Life. Yo, you're a big dude. Unfortunately, you know, the Georgia. Why is that unfortunate? Yeah, I think that's a good thing.
Starting point is 01:37:24 It is. That's why I say unfortunately. So you can key in on the important part. Okay. All right. What's going on, man? How's this week treating you? Greg just left Xbox, playing Xbox.
Starting point is 01:37:36 Yeah. Got me a customized Xbox. What are you playing on Xbox? Everything. A Great Day of Redemption. Yeah? Yo, fuck that game. That game sucks.
Starting point is 01:37:46 That game. You've been offending every single one of my guests. He sounds like, excuse me, he sounds like a guy that just skips the areola. Oh, damn.
Starting point is 01:37:54 I like that. I'm going to use that from now on. You're right. I mean, you're 100% right. Three foot of dust, though. Dude, no,
Starting point is 01:38:01 I haven't played video games in forever, and then I saw, I don't know, I just kind of fell off them, and I saw all of the attention that Red Dead Redemption was getting.
Starting point is 01:38:09 Oh, shit. Want to redeem yourself? But it's just hard as fuck. It's like, it's really hard to play Red Dead Redemption. Not really. If you like Grand Theft Auto,
Starting point is 01:38:19 Fortnite, PUBG, I don't know any of those games. I'm not good at games. You know Grand Theft Auto. I know, I mean, I know them, I don't play them. Of course I know them, I've heard all of them. You've't know any of those games. I'm not good at games. You know Grand Theft Auto. I know. I mean, I know them. I don't play them. Of course, I know them.
Starting point is 01:38:27 I've heard all of them. You've got to know what Fortnite is. Yeah, no, no. I know what it is. That's Red Dead Redemption, the adult version. He's just roasting you right now. That's, yeah. He's embodying you.
Starting point is 01:38:36 It's a hard game to play. This is my point. Video games have passed me by. I'm just not good at them anymore. Yo, that's true. If you don't play video games, you kind of give up on video games. You try to get back in. It's like playing sports. It's not like riding a bike. I don you don't play video games, you kind of give up on video games. You try to get back in. It's like playing sports.
Starting point is 01:38:46 It's not like riding a bike. I don't know, man. I never in my life gave up on video games. I know. If you do, though, you lose it. If you don't use it, you lose it. What's your power rankings of the top three N64 games? There's a correct answer.
Starting point is 01:38:58 Goldeneye. Yep. Goldeneye's so good. WCW Revenge. Great answer. And... Gotta have Mario Kart, no? Mario Party.
Starting point is 01:39:07 Mario Party. Mario Party, bro. I grew up playing Mario Party every day. What about Smash Brothers? You like Super Smash Brothers? It's a given. Yeah. Don't ask stupid questions.
Starting point is 01:39:17 I'm just saying. I was saying, you like Mortal Kombat? Do you think... Mortal Kombat has come out with the most violent games I've ever seen. Like the trailers. Yeah, right? This is crazy. But you and I do none of the moves when you get the game.
Starting point is 01:39:28 You can't do any of them? Nah, you got this hell of combo buttons. It's too complex. See? Games are hard, man. Games are difficult. Very hard things to play. Game chain. When Fight said that like video games had passed them by, like I felt that. Because I was a video game guy. I played up until PS3.
Starting point is 01:39:46 Then once PS4... My most recent video games were PS3 and Xbox 360. I do not have the most updated. Not Dreamcast? Dreamcast! I love the way that...
Starting point is 01:40:00 Dreamcast? It would be no 2K without Dreamcast. Dreamcast. I couldn't name one game that came out for Dreamcast? It would be no 2K without Dreamcast. Dreamcast was like... Where's 2K without Dreamcast? I couldn't name one game that came out for Dreamcast. Soul Calibur? No. Dreamcast stinks, bro.
Starting point is 01:40:14 Yeah, Dreamcast... In the grand scheme of things, no one's going to remember Dreamcast. Yeah. Twisted Metal? No, Twisted Metal was the PlayStation 1 game. It was fire on... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:23 Yeah. Yeah. So you got everybody in your Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you got everybody in your hometown this week, right? Yeah. There's no traffic. That's weird. Why is that? Like, Atlanta's traffic sucks most of the time.
Starting point is 01:40:36 Something, something, no. I mean, we were bracing for, like, takes hours to get everywhere you want to go. It's fine. Me too, exactly. You like it? You like everyone coming down here? Or is it like all the, you know, it's like bandwagon shit now? No, I love it.
Starting point is 01:40:49 We were just with Lil Jon. He was rocking the sweatshirt that says Atlanta influences everything. It does. You think so? You know what I love about Atlanta? This is the best part. You don't have to come fresh as hell. Like if this was in L.A., you got to dress right.
Starting point is 01:41:03 Atlanta, you can wear like flip flops. My kind of city. Yeah, like that. Get the socks and slides on right there. Yeah, socks and sandals guy all day long. You a football guy? I mean, who you got in this game? No, so, like, Todd Gurley is like my little brother in real life.
Starting point is 01:41:20 So it's like, of course, I want my brother to win. But Tom Brady is my favorite quarterback in the world. I mean, you and Gronk are tight, too, though. And Gronk, that's like a dude, bro. That's a perfect description. Yeah, dude, bro. I don't know, bro. The whole family.
Starting point is 01:41:35 I'm in the middle. The entire Gronkowski clan, man. They're something special. I learned one most legendary thing from Gronk. What's that? The poop dollar. The poop dollar? The what? Have you ever done the poop dollar? You don't know the poop dollar? What? The poop dollar. The poop dollar? The what?
Starting point is 01:41:45 Have you ever done the poop dollar? You don't know the poop dollar? What? You don't know the poop dollar? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Poop dollar is... Explain the poop dollar for those who don't know, Waka.
Starting point is 01:41:54 Oh. The poop dollar basically is like you not on a normal night. Take a number two. Yeah. Put some number two. Yeah. Put some gloves on. Yeah. Dig it out. Sit it on the floor.
Starting point is 01:42:10 Put some money on top of it. So when someone goes to grab it, it's a poop dollar. Yeah. I mean, like, that's the most gronk thing of all time, though. They probably did it, like, every night. Every night. And laughed louder every time. Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 01:42:24 The captain was like, you make my staff pick up shit? Five pounds of shit? I'm like, they did five poop dollars? Where was this? It was the grunt cruise, no? Yeah, it was the cruise. The cruise. Back cruise, man.
Starting point is 01:42:38 How wild was that? Wild. I tried to say it wasn't me. He's like, really? He pulled the camera up. I was like drunk. He put the shirt over the camera. I'm like, really? He pulled the camera up. I was like drunk. He put the shirt over the camera. I'm like, fuck.
Starting point is 01:42:48 I got blamed for everything. You talked about your rooting interests in the Super Bowl, but where's your smart money on? Smart money? Rams. Yeah? Yeah. Why?
Starting point is 01:42:59 Why? Because, you know, Brady is trying to beat Michael Jordan in game seven. But. But he kind of is, isn't he? He is. But it might just be that one time. Ty Gurley run through the line. So this is your hopes and wishes.
Starting point is 01:43:17 This has nothing to do with logic. No, he's saying it's his smart money. I know, but like, that's his boy. I believe in the Rams. I believe in big golf. Okay. I mean, you're going to end up being wrong. I hope you are right, man. Look, I like Jared a lot. I think Phil goes, go take it.
Starting point is 01:43:34 If you put Jared or Tom Brady, come on. I didn't say that. You said you believe in golf. He said that Tom Brady was his favorite quarterback. No, no, no. I know that. I know that. But you said you believe in golf. I just believe in the Rams. I believe in the energy. I believe in the passion. I believe in the way they play.
Starting point is 01:43:49 You spend a lot more time in LA than we do. Is there passion out there for them? I haven't seen a Rams jersey yet. It's more like prove yourself. More prove it? Melvin Gordon was on the set earlier and just kicked the Rams helmet off because he feels like the little brothers with the Chargers.
Starting point is 01:44:05 Nobody out there gives a shit about football right now, unless you're a Rams fan, right? Nah, I can't say that. You a Falcons fan? Yeah. How'd that go for you a couple years ago with the Pats? Yikes. I was rooting for Brady.
Starting point is 01:44:19 Wait, what? You were rooting for Brady? Of course. So then you're not a Falcons fan. I'm a hometown fan. Okay. I mean, if the Falcons were in the Super Bowl and you weren't rooting for them, you can't be a Falcons fan. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:44:31 I mean, that's... I just gotta keep it real. I can't be fake. I love it. I fucking love it. I just wouldn't say you're a fan then. This is hometown. Tyler, our buddy from Atlanta, he says the same shit. Tyler's like, I like who's good. And that's kind of like that. I like Tom Brady. Tom of like that. I like Tom Brady.
Starting point is 01:44:45 Tom Brady's good. I like Tom Brady. Root for greatness? I just feel like when it comes to the Falcons, we always make the poised decisions in the last minute. Every time. It pisses me off. Every single time.
Starting point is 01:44:56 And isn't that crazy that as sports fans we keep rooting for that team? You've smartened up. You're like, I'm rooting for Brady now. With sports fans, we've talked about this before, we're sports fans, we continuously root about this before, with sports fans, we continuously root for someone who we know is a failing franchise, but you would not stay in a relationship that you knew was a failing relationship. You'd say, fuck weird.
Starting point is 01:45:14 People do that all the fucking time. That's a valid point. I just sit in an abusive relationship the whole time. I just can't get myself out of it. The strongest relationship I have in my life is with Bud Light. That's their sponsor and us today. Not's not bad. I mean, pretty good. With some grenadine and lime? Whatever you like to dress it up,
Starting point is 01:45:30 bro. Grenadine and beer is the truth. I've never had that. Because in Canada, I drunk cherry beer. So I always wanted to mimic it and grenadine. You do it with a little Bud Light. That's about to change my life. You're going to be enjoying that for sure. Bud Light and grenadine is fire together. I'm definitely going to try that immediately. We appreciate you coming through, Walker.
Starting point is 01:45:46 Oh, always. We're about to do a little more Caves Radio with you in a minute, but next up is Barstool Radio. They're sponsored by Bud Light as well, so drink your Bud Lights, listen to Barstool Radio. We'll be back tomorrow for the finale this week here live at the Ivy in Buckhead in Atlanta. So same time, same place tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:46:02 You guys stay hot
