Okay, let's go. Now in the streets there is violence and a lot of stuff worth to do done. No place to hang out or washing and then I can't stay all on the sun. Oh no, we're gonna rock it down too.

Eli, shake high brand new and then we'll take it higher. Oh, we're a rock down. It's too easy. It's pardoning my take. There's enough of our support. Welcome to part of my take today is fria August 25th and show heo tani is heard again. Yeah, it's tough day. Soft. You know what? I was bad to say tough day for angels fans.

Tough day for baseball. Yeah. For the sport, for the game. I feel bad for the game. I actually feel worse for show a ton. Yeah, he's probably missing out on a few million dollars. And there's word. There's the idea that maybe he will stop pitching

because this is his second injury. He had Tommy John in 2018 now as UCL, UCL, that would suck. That would suck a lot and that would cost him a lot of money. It would cost him a ton. He was set to make a shit, fuckload of money in free agency. Now he's just gonna make a fuckload of money probably.

It would be very funny though if the Met signed them and then he just pulled it to grom and just like every year and June had to get shut down. Yes, but as a batter He can still go out there and play in fact He asked to play in today's game like the second they told him he had in elbow injuries like I can still bat Though like yeah, yeah, they're like no just please take it easy on yourself chill out for a little bit I have an idea this guy can do everything Why doesn't he just try to pitch left-handed? I bet you show Hey could pitch left-handed just take it easy on yourself, chill out for a little bit. I have an idea, this guy can do everything. Why doesn't he just try to pitch left handed?

I bet you show Hey could pitch left handed. I don't disagree. I also have another idea. Why doesn't show Hey O'Tani become the best closer in the game? So yes, Smolts, I was thinking about that. I went up looked up Smolts history. He was a great pitcher for the Braves, moved into the closing role, and then dominated

for a few years, then came back and started. He would be a lights out closer. A lot of closers and relief pitchers are guys who just couldn't start. So, and I'm not obviously sure, Otoni can start, but he can strike guys out. Imagine if he was just like, deaching every day, and then closing games. Yeah, that would rule. Did you guys? Did you guys hear about Ben Verlander? No Yeah, he heard about show Yo Tony thought he would puke so That makes me want a puke. Yeah, he said he said oh my god show Tony has a torny UCL I'm going to throw up. Yeah, and then he said

Let's see he also followed up with no for those asking, I am not okay. Okay. Um, so he's really going through it. He's the one who really I feel worst for. He also posted a picture of show a standing on second base the night thinning last night. This picture is so much sadder now that we know that show, heo, Tony, knew he tours UCLA at this point. Yeah, apparently the angels might share some of the blame of this because he's been dealing with some, some like right hand issues. Oh, you're saying the angels are on a well run organization?

Well, at least they still have Mike Trout and he's healthy. But Otani has apparently, I did a deep dive on this. There are some redditors out there that have posted that Otani for the last like month or so has been reaching across his body to give high fives With his left hand as opposed to his right hand and people are like I hope he's okay. Turns out he's not okay The UCL it sounds like sounds like another Tommy John in his future and sometimes guys come back throwing harder from Tommy John But then I don't know what happens if you have two Tommy John's. Yeah. There's a Tommy's John.

I think it's turning. I think it gets you even stronger. Yeah. Henry Rohn Gardner. I might just get preemptive Tommy John. Yeah. It's smart. Also, we heard from our good friend, Carabas, who was at the bar still awards last night.

He said, genuinely nauseous over the show, Aotani, but he's not. He didn't puke. He just felt like he was genuinely nauseous. Is he okay? Now, he just was genuinely nauseous. Is he okay now? I am we are all we've definitely tweeted like this after an injury, but when it's Something that like we're all bummed about we love watching show Tony play. He's having one of the best seasons ever But yeah, I didn't get nauseous or want to puke after this one personally I did but that was just because I ate like 20 chicken wings last night yeah

I think it was unrelated yeah, but we could we could we could assign that to show a yeah I wanted to puke when I found out that's actually not a lot to say I felt like puking when I heard the show Hey O'Connor news had nothing to do with nine course lights and 20 buffalo wings I actually want to puke right now and that has nothing to do with other the fact that we're in a room That's like 300 degrees So maybe that's also show a maybe we all just haven't found our inner Ben Verland or Jared Grobus and Really felt where we want like where this puke is coming from it's show a I wanted puke earlier when I heard Hank Yon Yeah, and also show hey oh

Man, we were driving up to Boston from New York on Tuesday and Brandon Walker heard his first handkion. He whipped his head around so hard from the front seat. It was like he had like seen a UFO. I didn't say anything. I saw as how he just goes. Yeah. I still I do that every time I hear it. It never loses its lustre for me. It's it's still genuinely shocking that that noise comes out of that man's mouth. Yes. All right. So where does show? Hey, go. Met's goes to the Met's and then does not live up to the contract. Okay. I feel like you might just stay at the angels. Lost. They fucked them up. If they fucked his injury up. Maybe it's just Dodgers. He doesn't have to move. Vegas. Vegas. Oh, you're a John Fisher guy. Fuck you. Yours come back to what? What? I said it. I don't a John Fisher guy. Fuck you. You're a scumbag too. What?

What? I said it. I don't think John Fisher would pay show Hayotani. No, he did say that once they get a new stadium, he's going to start spending. We'll see. That's going to be sticker shock. That's something really,

that's such a future you promise. Like, man, once March Madness is over, I'm going on such a diet. I'm going to have a great body for the summertime. No, he's not going to be able to write those big checks It's not in his day. This football season. I'm gonna be diligent about my gambling and I'm gonna be I'm gonna win. Yeah less games I'm gonna do I'm gonna sprinkle in some unders this year and then I look on week zero I have every single game and and half of them aren't even real games. It is week zero. It is we made it we made it

I'm excited to hopefully see how green the grass is in Ireland for the Notre Dame game. That's all I'm looking forward to in that game. Yes. Yes, that's I'm very excited for week zero. Just live football. So yeah, shout out to Shohei. You're going to still make a lot of money,

but not as much and shout out anyone who's dealing with nausea, diarrhea, upset stomach, premature ejaculation, premature ejaculation, all these things that might be related to Shohei O'Tani's injury. In some form. Hank, what was that look for? I mean, it was just, what do you say?

That's a non-breaking moves, breaking moves. Okay, breaking moves, non- moves breaking moves. Isaiah Simmons is being traded from the Cardinals to the Giants for a seventh round pick. Here's massive that shifts what that shifts the entire balance of power in the NFC. Damn, Giants loading up giant super teams super team. I said Simmons. Holy shit. Aaron Rogers made one of his wide receivers retire.

Yeah. So that's interesting. That was Cory Davis, Western Michigan great, Mac great. Yeah, we saw him in the Mac championship game that one time. Yep. He was just stepping away from football or officially retirement. He said stepping away from the game. So who knows what that means.

Well, it probably means you can't fire me. I quit because you might not have made the roster. I feel like you don't step away if you're going to make the roster, right? You don't go through camp. You're not trying to play. Right, but then the minute you see, like, oh, I might not, I might get cut here. Right. So he told Robert Salah that he was going to step away and leave camp for a couple days.

Salah said he's dealing with personal issues and then he dropped that on Instagram that he was walking away from the game. So he's saying that he could still come back. He's not closing the door, I don't think. But he didn't get cut. He did not get cut. He did not get cut.

Did not get it. Print it, write it. He did not get cut. Did not get cut. If you did get cut, the jets would say of $10 million. Oh, that's interesting. So he was definitely gonna get cut.

It was a possibility he's been trending for the company. They were gonna have to restructure his contract. Yeah, I mean, very good. But that, I mean, that's a great move by Hitt. Is he very good? I liked him, Zach was a very, very, injuries, so. Very seems like the wrong.

He was, he was not very good for the Jets. He was, he was a decent threat. Yeah. I'll call him a decent threat. He was a beast in the Mac. So do hate him. He was a first round. Yeah. I think he went like get over all the guys. But knowing that it seems like he might have been on the bubble. And again, I that's a great move by him. He'd be like, I never got you. Do you think he was going to get cut? I don't think so. Oh, even the 10 million. Even with the 10 million.

What was the wide receiver? What on the depth chart? I believe three. Oh, so maybe not. Yeah. Okay. It's just, yeah. It's all right.

Now they got rental cop. 32 year old rental cop. 32 year old rental cop. Just getting into his prime. Speaking of roster moves. Maybe the saddest tweet ever was the 49ers, uh, alerting everyone that Sam Darnell named QB2. Yep. I don't remember the last time that's happened. Well, where they just, they're like,

unspeaked announcement, QB2, Sam Darnell. It's more about what they didn't say with that. Right. That who that's who the QB3 is going to be. Trayland. Trayland. So Tray Lance, Tray Lance should step away. Tray Lance. Tray Lance should step away and then try to find a way to wind up in Kansas City and play for Andy Reed and then become great. It's funny because if he was on any other team, we'd be like, man, imagine Tray Lance

and Kyle Shanahan system. Yeah. It'd be pretty sweet. Yeah. We saw it and he had like a couple of moments where he looked competent, but yeah, it's really good for John Lynch that he ended up striking gold with Brock party because giving up three first round picks to trade up to get Tray Lance would not look good for

him. Tray Lance, yeah. I mean, we'll see what the rest of his career looks like, but right now he's in pretty good conversation for bust situation because that was a big trade. And who else went in that draft? That was Justin Fields. Justin Fields, Mac Jones. Mac Jones, Justin Fields.

Trevor Loan went first. Zach Wilson already was taken. Wow, this is like the draft with Marino and L.A. and all those guys. Yeah, I mean, the Jets can always say, at least we didn't take Trey Lance. Yeah. At least we didn't take Trey Lance.

Yeah, that's a tough one to trade up and take Trey Lance at three. So Trey Lance, he played what, 16 games in college? He had that one season where he was just lights out, didn't throw an interception, I don't think. And then COVID year, he played one game. Yeah, so ever since, ever since he got beaten up by J.M. you in the national championship game,

trail ends is not been the same quarterback. Yeah, he might have won that game, but we also knocked a shit out of him. He started 17 games total in college, 16 and then the one COVID year game, not a big sample size. No, not a huge sample size. But a recognition I everyone knows this. I if you were drafted high,

I just assumed that you're still good, the draft, draft guys couldn't be that wrong. Yeah, different system, he'll be great. We just, we just haven't seen enough yet. Right, exactly. So give him some time. I will never give up on a top 10 draft pick. Nor should you, unless it was Cory Davis.

Was he top 10? I think so, I think he's number five overall. Yeah. We got Jonathan Taylor, the Jonathan Taylor sweepstakes. Okay. Rumored that the birds are interested in and I mean if the Eagles get Jonathan Taylor on top of everything that they have already Easy Super Bowl easy pop not a doubt in my mind Running game. Who's your running backs right now? out in my mind. Brown running game. Who's your running backs right now?

John Joyce with. It would be Scott and Boston Scott. It would be Taylor Swift. And they're backfield. That will be the Kenneth Gainwell. Wait, say it all again. Shot penny or shot penny. Kenny Gainwell.

Kenny Gainwell. I like the game. Yeah, I like Gainwell. He's good. I like our running back room. I don't think I think this is all rumors. I don't think we're going to. Would you say that if they get Jonathan Taylor dream team? No super team super dream team. No, no, that's jets

That's jets vibes this year for sure Wow, I did watch hard knocks and god damn it. I am I'm so in on the jets I'm so in on them go watch the ghost video. It's out or it's our out now on PM TV me ghost hunting at Jerry's house Place $10,000 on the jets to win the Super Bowl because the ghost told me to or it's our out now on PMTV, me ghost hunting at Jerry's house, I placed $10,000 on the dress to win the Super Bowl because the ghost told me to. Hardnice shouldn't, they shouldn't have Final Cut. The team shouldn't have Final Cut, it's bullshit. It's too, it's too, it's just a suck fest.

It is a suck fest. It's just a fake lady. That's what I'm saying, like they fully suckered me in now. I'm fully believing in the dress because of Hardnice. And they're showing you exactly what you wanna see. Yeah, oh, I know that. I'm fully aware when I'm watching it like this is a press release in New York Jet and like these receivers are gonna have monster years minus Cory Davis my score Davis

Well more to go around for everybody else. That's true. That's true. All right. What else we got going on Gary Wilson 2000 yards this year. Yeah easy 2000 Bigchickle skies interviewed to co Oh, yeah, let's hear his stories. They're gonna talk well actually why don't you interview us as we're Tuka I'll be Tuka so it is Tuka Rask on the show will both be Tuka any pasta stories? I like

Although if you smoke weed you should not be throwing the javelin. It could be very dangerous. Yep. All right, sorry, trickle's hands, but. Yeah, that's your turn. I guess, too, Nate, you can always just keep the whole thing. We found this index card that has their questions at the ass, and who's questions do you think these are?

It's gotta be biz. I think it's biz. It looks like biz is handwriting. Yeah, it's gotta be biz. And then there's a bunch of stuff. Because I don't think, and I say that because I don't think with, does questions. Yeah, he just talks. I I say that because I don't think wit does questions. Yeah, he just talks. I think he because he can just go off the dome.

Might be R.A. No, okay. I don't think he would have like specific. Yeah, he would be. I would not be like early days of Sagan. He would be like, tell me about the fucking. Yeah, yeah, is against the May police. Yeah, me.

You remember the stones play at the garden? Oh, we love the fucking chicklets guy. This one just say a lot. Got a great business story coming later. Oh, fuck yes. Yeah, so it was great. We were at the 20th anniversary show as Wednesday night. It was wild to see everyone in the room.

The entire, basically all a barstool was there. It was crazy to see everyone there, crazy to see like people get presented awards for funny moments Basically an entire trip down memory lane. I cried a couple times Which some people are saying to pussy. I say that's football guy. I just love my guys I love my guys in the locker room. Yeah, I've been watching the Frank the tank video where he tells people not to give up on their dreams Yeah, which it makes me it makes me almost cry every time I watch it. It is legitimately an inspirational moment. Yes, it was right there.

And I put that in. That was, you put that in. Yeah, put that in. Put that in right there. You put it in. Come on, Max. Is it in yet, Max? Put it right in between these tits.

Yeah, that's it. Come on, Max. Oh, yeah. I'll keep my bra on. Put in these tits. I wore kids a court clerk. I'll keep my bra on. Put in these tits. And now I am working on each of your boston never give up your dream Thank you everyone, thank all the fans, thank everyone who follows Maryline and thanks for me It was our award that we gave him, so we won the award for biggest controversy Barstool van talk I think we won that by default

Because the other controversies might have been weird to give an award for yeah So but we were honored to have it, but then we gave it to Frank which I didn't discuss with you guys But I figured you guys would be cool. I'm totally fine with that. Yeah, I mean Frank Frank deserved to go home with some hardware I think he was the leading trophy. He won't judge because I gave him another trophy. So two awards later, I gave him a second trophy. Yeah, and he just came up on stage, took the mic, crowd control on point, was gesturing violently,

telling people, I almost gave up on my dream, but I didn't never give up your dream. And honestly, like about to cry, just thinking about it. It was so good. I'd follow him to the depths of hell. Yeah. I got to see if there's an all-22 angle, because the White Sark's Dave almost died walking upstairs.

And it was one of the things I've ever seen. He told me I was going around last night. Yeah, White Sark's Dave won the award for Best TV Performance performance was it? Yeah. For the time that he battled gum on uh Chicago television and uh he he he said to me after he knew he was gonna win the award and he started telling himself before the winner was announced don't trip on the stairs don't trip on the stairs don't trip on the stairs and then he immediately tripped on the stairs. Yeah. I don't know Hank we should, don't trip on the stairs, and then you immediately tripped on the stairs. Hard. Yeah.

I don't know Hank, we should see if there's like a wide view of Frank giving that speech because after it was over, there's really two ways that you can go on that stage. One is back down the stairs that you took to get up. The other is the side stage, which people were coming in to present awards like that area.

And so Frank just started like doing a circle. And I was like, here Frank, let's go this this way and I started pointing to the side of the stage and then he kept like going in circles like no Frank this way and then he just walked away onto the other side of the stage and walked off that way Frank makes his own rules. Yeah he does I tried to give Frank a hug he was not having it. No. He did he did the half half shoulder thing where it's like this is all you're getting by. And for people that say that Frank is just all doom and gloom and he doesn't really love the Mets, he was decked head to toe in Metshit last night as his formal wear.

Yes. Yes. Um, what other, I mean, there was a lot of great moments. You can still buy didn't die. Yeah, there was a guy who we almost had a tomorrow ham on situation where we had to stop the show. Well, I saw him later. He looked at us. What happened is like he was just drunken fell down. Yeah. Well, I saw him later. He looked like he was like, he was just drunk and fell down. Yeah, me and Hank were warming up with a football while he was getting attended to by the medical staff.

Yeah, Jeff Jeff D. Lo and Rico ran up there like, did you what? I don't know that. Well, I guess Rico has training, right? Yeah. Jeff D. Lo, what is he gonna do? Ask him what question. Yeah.

Like, are you with us? Are you with us? Who wrote this hit song in 2002? He's like, by the black high turd. Like are you with us? Are you with us? Yeah. Who wrote this hit song in 2002? Yeah, he's like, by the black high-trade. So wait, no, it's black IP. Sir, what day is it today?

It was a great, great night. It was cool to see everyone. It was cool to go down memory lane.

Hopefully 20 more years. I got a little sentimental. I was doing some, like I said, crying, little sentimental posting. Made sure I said I hope I get, we get takes off. It was a picture of me and Pity. Looking good, by the way.

We cleaned up nice. Yeah, I said, I can't wait to get take off with this guy until we're old and grayer, just so that people couldn't get me on that. Yeah, no smart is smart to add the ER on getting that Minces on that once or twice. It was it was It was kind of an emotional time for sure because we do say it a lot But we I want people to know that we understand that we do have the best job in the world It's also take it for granted for a second.

It's a surreal life and we're very thankful to be here. It's also like we work so hard and there's a lot like right in front of us, six inches in front of our face in terms of day to day, that it's cool to have those moments to be like, oh shit, this is everything. This is the totality of everything that's been built and Shadow Dave.

Shadow Dave, 10 years from me, crazy. I feel old, but young at the same time. I thought we took a great picture of the three of us and then I, you know, click open the Instagram comments section because that one was roasting me for my stance. Yeah, well, they're roasting me for my chin. Distance and people were making fun

of like the cuffs on your pants. People were making fun of my suit saying it didn't fit You can't win also that's as close as I'll ever get to wearing a suit that fits in my life news flash people We podcast for a living. We're not good looking guys and we don't clean up well No, they're like oh, where'd you get that suit? No shit, dude. We sit in sweatpants every day and watch football Mm-hmm. It shouldn't be a shock that we don't we dude, we sit in sweatpants every day and watch football. It shouldn't be a shock that we don't look great in formal wearer.

Yeah, I got my suit off the rack at DXL last week. So you look like you're gonna go to, you're gonna eat all the apps at a big, big Greek wedding. I said, memes best compliment he's ever given me so I looked like a bond villain. I'll take that all that. I think you look like a bond villain. Yeah, I that all back. I think you look like a bond villains.

what was happening there, but memes was hatless. He's never hatless. Sure. He was getting compliments to get him back. No, well, he said it as an insult. Oh, he met. Well, you took it as a compliment. Correct.

Got it. But memes look good without a hat. He's always different person. He's always a fool. He's always a fool. He's always a fool. He's always a fool. He's always a fool. He's always a fool. You're always different person. You're always different. We're pretty neat. We should make him not wear a hat. Just go corporate memes all the time. You do have great hair.

Memes. Memes, if the Jets lose, Monday night football against the bills. Week one. You have to wear a suit the rest of the week. No hat. PFT and I also want to do a perm bet at some point. Yeah, just curly ass here.

Max, we were probably 30 seconds away from an all-time max moment, an all-time max visual. He rescued it at the very last second. We're going out to the red carpet together. Max is like, no, I don't want to go. I don't want to go. I was like, no, you're going to go out there. You're going to be my date. Come on, let's do it.

We're about to step out on the red carpet. At the last second, Max realizes that his fly is completely down. Oh, he came up to me with it down. And there was about to be, there was about to be high resolution pictures everywhere on the internet of Max really feeling himself because he's got all these compliments about how good he looks with his, with just his boxers pulled through his fly. Max, answer this question. This is circle of trust me and you. That wasn't a, you forgot to zip it back up after the bathroom fly.

That was a fact I fly, right? I don't know. I don't even know what a fact I fly it. Where in your fly just goes down because you're just fat and it's just too much stress on the pants. You zipper just gives up. Yeah, just go. No, my, they basically it's like taking a flag half mast.

They're like, yeah, we can't do this anymore. I think it was a bathroom fly. I, I, I, but I also saw you without the, the, I'm really bad at remembering to put my fly out. Okay, okay. That's good. It's really bad at it. It is so funny.

I get, I get you. We just started finding you. Uniform violation. Yeah. Fly is up right now. Fly is up right now. Fly's up right now. Last thing I had was skip his back. He is, oh sorry, not skip.

Shannon's, Shannon Sharp is going with Stephen A. Smith to ESPN. This just proves what we all knew that he hated skip bailiffs. Yeah, this is a move that's not just for Shannon Sharp. It's to get back at skip. Right. It's like getting with your buddy's ex-girlfriend. You know exactly what you're doing. And if you take the exact same job,

there's a common denominator, you just didn't like the other guy. Yes. Like if Shannon Sharp had gone into coaching, he'd be like, oh, he just was done with TV. No, no, he's not done with TV. He just didn't like Skip Bayless. Two very horny guys debating.

Yeah, that's what we know. See, they Smith's got a chill out too. He's on my guy Lonzo ball a little too hard. He was he was saying he can't stand up or sit down and Lonzo ball posted an Instagram video of him standing up and sitting. Yeah, he looks like he's great at standing up. Yeah, he really does. Yeah, and so Why don't you want you keep why don't you keep Lonzo ball my point guard who probably won't ever get to see play again I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game.

I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game.

I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game.

I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a great game. I think it's a 66 miles per hour? That's 32 miles per hour less this year. 98 last year to 66 miles per hour today.

66 not that bad. What was it in though, 25 miles an hour? I didn't look it up. I didn't look it up. It can't be, I'm guessing that he was going 66 and let 66 in like a 40. Yeah. He wasn't going 65, maybe.

Yeah. Because in Texas, there's a bunch of highways that are like 70, 75. So it definitely wasn't on a highway. What have you got? What have you got pulled over for going too slow? You can they can do that. Yeah. Well, you remember Ezekiel Elliott?

Wasn't he going like 110 miles per hour a couple years ago? Yeah. He's got speeding problem. He's got speeding problem. He's got speedy. He's got speedy problem. He's got speedy problem. He's got speedy problem.

He's got speedy problem. He's got speedy problem. He's got speedy problem. He's got speedy problem. He's got speedy problem. He's got speedy problem. He's got speedy problem. Oh, come back player of the year. Okay MVP MVP. Maybe. I guess you could say maybe in front of anything. Yeah, you never know. I got you never know. I got Baker as of right now.

He's on the same same production as everyone else. Which is what? Do you think you'll split votes though? Mac Jones winning come back player of the year? Good question. This was good last year. What's he coming back from? Exactly. Yeah, great. Patricia is so serious. He had a great season last year. That actually should be eligible for a comeback player the year, just because of

a match. Surviving map, Patricia. It's worse than any injury. If you look at the odds, they're so stacked to a DeMar Hamlin winning though. Oh, yeah, that's. You've righted it. It's going to be tough for a football writer to vote against DeMar Hamlin. Yes, I'd agree.

Okay, let's talk some more football. We got any staples. We're talking about the game. Yeah, I'm going to say that. I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going it is. It's going to be tough for a football writer to vote against tomorrow. Yes I agree. Okay let's talk some more football. We got Andy Staples talking college ball and

So it's Go find it, new feed. Everyone go subscribe. Andy is a great, great college football reporter.

So let's get into it. If you don't subscribe, you're a scumbag and you're dead to it. Yeah, I hope you get hit by a ball. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, please. Let's get into it. Let's start big picture.

I have a thought, and I wanna hear your thoughts on it. I think this is gonna be the funnest college football season we've ever had, because we have all this change, all this realignment, and it's gonna be bad blood, and it's gonna be weird stuff happening, and it's like one last chance at this last thing that we've had for a while now, and it's going to be awesome.

Yes. This is the end of one particular era of college football. So you've got the expanded playoff coming. You have new conference alignments coming next year, and you have basically teams that have left other teams to die. And yeah, I think, think about this. If you are Washington State and Oregon State, you wanna kick the living shit

out of the six teams from the Pac-12 that are going somewhere else. If you are anybody in the big 12, because when Texas Oklahoma left for the SEC, you could have had the same fate as Washington state and Oregon states. If you're Kansas state, if you're Iowa state, you got to crack at those guys before they leave. You want to, you want to leave them with a lasting memory.

Yeah. So we're going to see lots of saltiness. And then, yeah, the last 14 playoff, the last time some of these games at the end of the season are as big as they are because it knocks somebody out. Yeah, yeah. It's basically, we're living in a house where mom and dad broke up and no one's moved out yet.

Exactly. And it is, yeah, dad is, I don't know if dad's on the couch or in the spare room. Like I feel like in the pack 12, dad's still sleeping in the same bed, and it's just all kinds of. He's in the open relationship in the pack 12 bed. Yeah, he's very clearly more in love with the secretary.

Yeah, dad's sleeping in a bed, and he's on Zillow every night before he goes to bed looking at homes in Piscataway. Yeah, that's what he's doing. It's always Piscataway. It's all in every time you sit on. I respect Rutgers, I respect Shia No Men. I respect the program in Piscataway. I don't like that they're, that they've become a punchline.

But I do think that if you, a lot of people are saying like, okay, if you look at the SEC, Georgia is going to be the prohibitive favorite. They're probably going to be the favorite to win the national championship. College football is kind of a foregone conclusion. People are saying that they're missing the beauty, which is that this is going to be utter chaos. If you don't like chaos, then you probably just don't like college football in general. Well, exactly, because there will be versions of chaos and probably every conference except

maybe the SEC, because I look at the big 10 this year, you know, it's, I don't even think it's just an Ohio State Michigan thing. You know, everybody's kind of come to terms with, oh, wait, Michigan's actually good. It wasn't a fluke that they beat Ohio State Michigan thing. Everybody's kind of come to terms with, oh wait, Michigan's actually good. It wasn't a fluke that they beat Ohio State to here, but the thing is, Penn State is loaded with freaky talent this year. They could really be a big 10 title container, and if you're a big 10 title container,

it means you could actually be a national title container. So it's gonna be very strange. That one's gonna be wild. The ACC, you got Florida State saying, we's, it's gonna be very strange. Like that one's gonna be wild. Like the ACC, you got Florida State saying, we gotta get the hell out of this conference. Like, their president sent it out loud. You got George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice lobbying to try to get Stanford and SMU.

And is that true? Did W pick up the phone for SMU and, and called the ACC and he's like, hey, take my boys. I wouldn't, nothing would shock me at this point. And I tell you what, the SMU group, they are so great at rallying people. Like, every time they want something to happen, they will, they will get politicians on the phone, they will get, in Texas, they'll get legislative hearings called. Like they'll have some committee

I remember when Texas and and a&m and Texas Tech were looking at joining the pack 10 years ago like this whole SMU group got everybody riled up and and got a Got a hearing called in the Texas legislature and They're always looking for a way in to that next conference still, like, the death penalty is still affecting them for almost 40 years later. And they feel like they got completely screwed in that. And let's be perfectly honest, the NIL era was built for us in years. Like, they're ready to party.

They got the money. Like, 30 years ahead of their time. Kind of ironic that W would be against the death penalty in this situation, given his track record. Yes. He killed a lot of people. You want to start with Big Ten? Yeah, I was gonna say Caleb Williams. Big Ten. Let's start there. Big Ten quarterback, Caleb. Yeah. I know. I know. Yeah. But I was gonna say I wanted to start with Caleb Williams. I's been prohibitive favorite, special, special player. Last we saw him losing to Utah with the injury and everything.

Does USC have a defense? Because I feel like this is going to be just Lincoln Riley every year. The offensive is explosive dynamic. They're going to win these big games where everyone's wowed by them and then they go up against the team like a Utah who wants to just punch you in the mouth and it all falls like a house of cards for them. So they have tried to improve their body types on defense and like they went into transfer portal and they got Anthony Lucas from Texas A&M who was a freshman last year actually played very well there but family wanted him in a different different circumstance and wanted him

somewhere else so he goes to USC, they pick up Baralexander who was playing at Georgia as a true freshman on that defensive line. And so they actually have guys that look the part now on the D line, which is not something that USC or any of the defenses on previous Lincoln Riley Oka-Holma teams had before. And so that, I'm curious if that changes things a little bit

because while they're not as deep as as a Georgia or an Alabama on that front, they got some stuff that a lot of the other teams don't have. Now Oregon has a little bit of that too because Mario Cristobal was recruiting for them because Dan Laning is their head coach now and he was the DC at Georgia. So Oregon has some of that, Washington has some of that,

but there's not a ton of that in the Pac-12. So it should help them theoretically, but the questions are they gonna be deep enough? Are they gonna be physical enough in practice so that in November or in a Pac-12 championship game situation that they can tackle? Like the tackling in the Pac-12 championship game against Utah last year was

bearish so bad and it looked like a team that doesn't hit very much at the end of the season and then you see you know you see what Georgia does and what Alabama does and what Michigan does they look completely different. Yeah, yeah, you didn't even start out with the big 10 quarterback with the most preseason Heisman hype that's bone X. Yeah from Oregon Bone X and camera Back bone it bone X with a giant billboard in Times Square. Is it in Times Square? No, it's like Grammar see this is the year it's like 23rd Park. Yeah, so bone X being talked about for the ism

Is this the year that bone X finally puts it all together Andy? Feel like we've had this exact conversation He was so he was putting it together last year. Like, this was amazing to me because I saw this stat in, you know, late in the season. And I started comparing and I thought, this can't be real. His stats going into the Washington game last year, that's the one where he got dinged up

and they ended up losing. But his stats going into that game, almost identical to Marcus Marriota in his high season. Yeah. And that was a dominant high season performance by Marcus Marriota. So, I mean, Bo is a touchdown machine. And yeah, I mean, he's definitely matured.

The good Bo bad Bo that you saw at Auburn, there's a lot less of bad Bo. And I like Oregon a lot. I, you look at also what they've gotten through the transfer portal. Like Jordan Birch came from South Carolina, former five star defensive line guy. Like they have some guys that look like they could compete

against anybody. And I know Georgia kicked the crap out of them last year. I remember it. I watched. But I'm telling you right now, they've improved that roster to the point where they could be competitive against playoff type teams. So they have to be more consistent. Is what happened last year? Is Washington shouldn't have happened? And that maybe you chalked that up to Dan landing the first year head coach, what happened to them against Oregon State was just embarrassing. Oregon State ran

the ball 17 times on a row while coming back from a deficit. Yeah. Or is it random about 17 times on a row while coming back from a deficit? Yeah. And second half like, this is a masculine. It is funny because the pack 12 is the conference of quarterbacks you know. Because you got camera, I was saying bonics, Caleb Williams,

cam ward, like Michael Penix, all these guys, this is, they have steady, sturdy quarterbacks so it should be some really good football. Yeah, it is. And like you didn't mention Jayden Doloran Arizona who started before cam order at Washington state, but he's pretty good. And then DJ Wu Young go lay. Oh, yes. And we're going to stay. Yeah. I wish DTR was still there. I DTR is a guy that I wish played college football forever. I saw DTR playing in playing in the preseason.

It was just like, God bless this. This is only gonna work in the preseason. But I'm glad he's getting his moment. Yes. So I have a question about a team that somehow feels like it's getting forgotten. It may be for good reason, because for the first time,

it would feel like, I don't know, a decade. Alabama doesn't have a surefire bona fide. Like this guy is a great quarterback. Are we sleeping though on Bama? Because doesn't it feel like Nick Sabin has the defense is going to be very good. The offense line is going to be very good. They're going to run the ball down your throat. It might be a throwback Alabama type of year.

Is there a little bit of like, oh yeah, we've anointed Georgia good for good reason. LSUs obviously on the come up with the year they had last year. That beat them last year. But is this going to be like a throwback Nick Sabin? You're seeing it even with his buddy Bill Bellachek in the NFL. They're going to zag now when everyone zicks with the spread it out. Yeah, there's a very big run the damn ball vibe coming out of Alabama right now.

Because the front seven is very, very good. If you don't know the name Jehimo, this yet you're going to. This is a dude, group in Mississippi, Alabama offered him an eighth grade. He showed up on campus, weighing like 400 pounds. They got him down to like 330.

He's a monster on the defensive line. But they've also got Dallas Turner and Chris Braswell who could get after the quarterback. So the assumption that because Will Anderson's gone their past rush is not as effective. No, it will be very effective. Where Alba got in trouble last year was there, their DBs were not as good as they usually are.

They were not as fast as they usually are. And you saw that hurt them in games like Tennessee where you guys had Jalen Hyatt, you know, the fat, maybe the fastest guy in the SEC running straight at Demarco Helms, who's a safety and getting a 20 yard head start. And what's Demarco Helms supposed to do in that situation? So Alabama, I think a little bit faster in the secondary cross-border. Very good in the front seven. There are big questions at quarterback. You know, they went and got Tyler Boughtner's transfer from Notre Dame, but he wasn't leaving

a starting job there. Same Hartman was going to be the starter at Notre Dame. So Tommy Rees, who was Notre Dame's OC last year, is Alabama's OC this year. And he's got to pick a quarterback. So you got Tyler Boughtner, who came from Notre Dame. You got Jaila Milro who's the guy who started in place of Bryce Young against A&M last year. Who's a tree that's high Simpson. Milro row that text A&M game like if you're picking best athletes on a field, he would win every single time, but he can't throw the ball.

Not one and that's the problem. Like I he's a quarterback. I taught a pass in that game. I know you're going gonna ask me the rowback question later I was wearing my rowback performance hoodie and I believe it had something to do with it but Haynes King was playing quarterback at Texas A&M in that game and he's at Georgia Tech now and We're dead. You know they let you down on the field for the last five minutes if you're in the press box And so I in one hand I had my phone and I I'm just, I'm filming the play because it's, it's, it's tight game coming down to the last drive.

And Haynes King gets chased. I want to say about Willie Anderson. I think Willie Anderson was in his lap, throws the ball over the sideline. And all of a sudden, I see it coming. And Texas A&M's athletic director Ross Bjork is standing in front of me. He tries to catch it. Now, he's a former fullback so his hands are... But I got it while filming got it with my left hand.

So I you know, I think that's when you asked the rowback question, there's my rowback endorsement for you. You owe Del Beckham to it. That's awesome when you get on film. Yes, yes, but no, Milro in that game, I'm surprised he didn't throw many passes either. Because he was spraying it all over. But he gets there like, I, you know, now that I work for on three, we have all these team sites.

I cruise the message boards quite a bit. The Bama folks are convinced Milro's the guy. Really? It's, I don't know that. I have no idea. That's one of those like, Georgia Carson Beck's gonna be the guy. But Alabama, I have no idea who the guys. Yeah, Carson Beck is just, that just sounds like a good quarter.

Yeah, Georgia. This is why Alabama should run the triple option. I was always wanted. I was about to say like you want to do the ultimate sig while everybody else acts. Obviously with Tommy Reese, I guess he's no longer Tom Reese. He was Tom Reese for like, oh, we've got to Tommy. You know what's the bad again.

So since they have him, they're probably not gonna do it, but it would be sick if Nick Saban brought in like an army offensive coordinator and just fuck you with everybody for a year. Well, army's not running the trip anymore, so they should steal it from them. And now there's a name that you need to remember. Justice Haynes, he's a freshman running back in Alabama.

Steelers fans will remember Ron Haynes, Georgia fans, obviously remember Ron Haynes. He played full back there and caught the game-winning Pasicans Tennessee when Larry Munson said, we wish that on our face with a hobnail boot and broke their nose. Well this is his kid. Okay. And he is unbelievable. So just get just a sains crank up the Heisman campaign for a couple of years from now. So there's another quarterback in the SEC that I want to talk about because he's probably my favorite quarterback

to watch in theory. And that's bazooka Joe Milton, right? And did you know that he threw an orange 120 yards? Nothing would shock me. Yeah, but there's no Joe Milton throwing something. Like, there is no Joe Milton projectile stat that will surprise me. Yeah, before the orange bowl last year was the orangeous orange bowl of all time,

Clemson against Tennessee. They gave him an orange. They said, how far can you throw it? He threw it 120 yards, which is just, he's a freak. He's an absolute freak. He says that he can throw a football 90 yards. I don't know if that's true, but I guess I guess I could believe it. The problem is going to be like, can he direct where the ball is going at all? But I'm still excited to see what he does in that offense. Should Tennessee fans be excited about Pizzoukajou like I am. Yes, absolutely. So I told Big Cat this when he came in my show earlier this week.

I went to Tennessee a couple springs ago, and this is when when Hidden Hooker was still the starter. And one of their coaches goes, okay, you're going to practice tomorrow, right? And I say, yeah, you're going to stand behind Joe Milton, and you're going to watch him throw a football, and you're going to say, this is the greatest quarterback I've ever seen in my life.

And the next day, I was behind Joe Milton, they were doing one of those coming out of your own in zone kind of situations. So he takes a snap, drops back into the in zone unleashes at like 60 yards down the field, dime. I'm like, nope, nope, that's quarterback I've ever seen in my entire life. Yep. But even though I've seen him at Michigan, I've seen him when he got the job at Tennessee and then gave it away to him and hook her because he was air mailing balls in games.

But that orange bowl, which was against a good Clemson defense, which was, you know, they didn't have a lot of opt-outs. They were very well-maned. He carved him up. And so I'm fully in, fully believing, but I also know that Tennessee fans, if he does come out and you see the old Joe Milton appear, like even in the Virginia game,

he sees an opener which they should win pretty easily against Virginia quarterback Tony Musket. Which is a great quarterback name. For Virginia too. Exactly. Exactly, the only one better would be Tony Blunderbuss, for Virginia too. Uh huh. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. The only one better would be Tony Blunderbuss. But the Joe Milton Heisman campaign, if the airmail is like two balls in a row is going

to hit a brick wall. Yep. And then the Tennessee fans will immediately chanting for Nico Iamma Malaaba. And y'all remember the NIL story, the big NIL deal. There's a dude who's signed this huge NIL, he's the guy. And personality wise, if there's anybody who can handle that sort of thing, Nico seems to have the personality for it. But they really do love this guy at Tennessee.

They think he can be a star. I think they would love for Joe Milton to have a good year so that Nico is not thrust into that and can develop. But he's an interesting one too, because he got a big arm. He's six five and fairly thin, but dad's like 320 pounds. Dad's a monster.

So at some point, Nico may be six five to 30. He's a fill out. And just running dudes over with this arm. Yes. But Joe is already that. Yes, but Joe is already that that's what Joe is Joe is Anthony Richardson maybe not quite as fast and without the back flips. Yeah, I could just watch him throw things Yeah, if he ends up not starting they should just do like a Friday live stream We're just gonna give him various things and see how far it goes

Here's a cat. Let's see if you can get it 30 yards in the air. I want a wrench. I want to trust Joe Milton Knights. It's the Michigan and it's the time that he went out of bounds on fourth down to end the game. That those two things are in the back of my head where I'm like, I want to give, because he is so much fun to watch. But those two things just stick in my head.

Big cat, I'm a Florida grad. I have to ask you a Wisconsin question. Yes. Should should Florida be trusting Graham Merz. Oh, Merz for Heisman. I see. Um, no. I like Ram. He's a history. He's told you that. He's a great kid. And I feel I feel bad for him because it it it was tough for him because he had the start he had that Illinois game was basically a quarterback can't play more perfect football than what he did the COVID year we're all watching it was incredible and he obviously has the

tools but just the decision making is not always there and that's and if you have that a couple of times it's the difference between winning seven eight games winning 10 games so I I'm rooting for him. Let's say that. I'm rooting for him I do not want to do what I've gathered from talking people around Florida's program They love him right and everybody's excited. He looks they understand yeah But it'll be a lot of you know Montreal Johnson and Trevor ETN, who are very good running

backs. If they can run the ball a little bit, maybe it takes some pressure off him, but that seems to be the book on Graham. Yeah. We're going to get back to Andy Staples in a second. He's brought to you by 3G. I love 3G. I've got a script right in front of me.

All right, so give us a team that you think is going to disappoint and a team that you think is going to surprise. So, the one, I need to see them do this because the expectations are sky high again. And it's like we talk ourselves into this every single year without them ever showing us they can do this on the field is Texas. Texas is going to be favorite when the big 12.

They're probably be favorite in 11 of 12 games, probably every game but Alabama. They actually have quite a bit of NFL talent this year, which I know it was like, oh, Texas has five server cruts every year. They've not put out a ton of NFL talent in the last 10 years. This time they have it. They've got a bunch of guys at the NFL people like. So there's really no excuse for them not to close out

their time in the Big 12 with a title. But I've seen too many times and it's not just Steve Sarkiesian, you know, it's when Tom Herman was coaching him, when Charlie Strong was coaching him, where they roll in to, you know, to play somebody who they're clearly more talented than and last year it was Texas technical estate and they just find a way to lose. And I need to see them win these games before I can believe. And so like they're total is nine and a half.

I pick the under and everybody went nuts. And look, feel free to clown me if Texas rolls to a big 12 title. I, great, that's what Texas should be doing. And as they go into the SEC, they'll be in, they'll be in good shape. But until we see them do that with the games that they should win,

where they are more talented than the opponent, I, I can't believe yet, because I've been fooled so many times. So like beat Kansas State, beat TCU, beat Iowa State, beat Texas Tech, beat Iowa State, beat Texas Tech, then we can talk. Right. Going back to even like Mac Brown, when he was at Texas in his last couple of years,

he would just get five stars on five stars on five stars and then not develop them to the level that, like I remember they had Malcolm Brown and Jonathan Gray at running back and everybody in the country was saying, these are the best two running back prospects that we've seen in the last was saying these are the best two running back prospects that we've seen last you know ten fifteen years rickie williams we got to rickie williams is

on a rost right now they don't turn them out i will give you a counterpoint though why uh... or i guess maybe in your favor why maybe you would look to fade texas and that is quen yours cut his mullet which is to start a very disappointing on many. He said it was about leadership. Listen, the Mullet Exuse leadership, it is business up front still. Yeah, that's true. Why would you cut it off? That you're not losing the business

if you have the party. Yeah, and a lot of people are talking about archmaning as highly tattered recruit coming in. Obviously he's got everything in the world going for him. But if you're plugged in on the 48 or it's like, we are Andy, you know that Malik Murphy is a dog. And a lot of people in Austin are saying, I remember he's good, but okay.

Before we go too far with the Malik Murphy, if Quinn were to go down or a Quinn were to have problems, you might see Arch. Yeah. You think so? You think he's gonna beat out Malik? I think there's a good chance. Hmm, interesting.

I also think it's just gonna be everyone just clamoring for him too. I don't even think it's that. I think they'll play whoever they think is better. And you know, the one thing with Arch is they're not gonna pressure like the family in that, they're not gonna pressure anybody to play him. They seem to go in with a pretty mature plan for him

and are perfectly accepting of if he needs a year or so to win that job. But it may be that he develops faster and they feel like he's ready. So that one, I'll be curious to see if Sartt announces who the backup is and who the third guy is. But you know, you saw Quinn get hurt in the Alabama game. So in games who last year won that game?

Force Hudson Carden play. Yeah. So I will be very curious to see who goes in second if something happens with Quinn. You are right. So and then the flip side, a team that you think is going to surprise people that no one's talking about. I think people in the SEC are talking about this. I don't know about nationally, but Kentucky seems to have fixed a lot of the things that caused problems last year, where they just, the offense didn't quite work.

They had lost Liam Cohn to the Rams. He comes back as the OC. This is the same guy that had Will Levis, the first year Levis was at Kentucky. So they've got Devon Leary now, who was the NC State quarterback for a long time, and actually went into last season as the, you know, NC State was mounting a Heisman campaign for him. He was coming off a really good 2021, but he had a shoulder injury and had to have surgery. So they could be quite a bit better. They will, they have some very good young receivers in Dainkey and Barion Brown,

hopefully better on the offensive line. That will be a big one for them is they just have gone kind of downhill in that department, but they've recruited well over the years. So you think it'll come back around. And so that's one that if you're Tennessee, if you're Florida, if you're South Carolina, you're worried about them being considerably better than they were last year. Right. Okay. Should we talk a little big 10? It's going to be fun. Michigan, this is the best

chance Michigan has to win a national championship. It feels like this is the culmination of everything Harbaugh's built the last two years going to the college football playoff beating Ohio State But I in the back of my head. I'm like and this is going against what we historically know because what we historically know is Penn State plays a Ohio State well and then gets killed by Michigan But Penn State feels like they also like it's gonna be a very fun east with those three teams and how it all shakes out. And so what are your thoughts on that? So Penn State gets killed by Michigan in Ann Arbor for that game to state college.

Yeah. And that's honestly as simplistic as that is, I can't explain why they can't play in an arbor, but they can't. And so when Michigan comes to state college, Penn State has a chance. And for whatever reason, Penn State always plays a Ohio State tough no matter where they're playing. Every that game is in Columbus, but I expect that to be a close game. I'd probably still say Ohio State's the winner if you asked me to pick a winner right now.

But I would expect it to be competitive. But Penn State, yeah, they're different animal this year. Now Michigan is loaded with NFL talent. Jim Harbott told my friend Bruce Feldman, he thinks 20 guys are gonna get drafted off this roster, which seems slightly aggressive. But like Jim Nagy from the senior bull said he thinks there's seven offensive linemen

who are draft eligible. So that's not including freshmen and sophomores, some of which are good too, who I think will be in NFL camps next year. Wow. Dudes that aren't even gonna start. And that is a lot of talent and a lot of really good development

that Michigan staff has done. So I don't think Michigan beating Ohio State the last two years is a flu. No. I need to see Ohio State beat them to prove that they can. I do feel like Ohio State has built a little more to play on carpet in a dome. And like if you play that game again, on carpet in a dome, what you might be doing once the divisions go away in the big 10 championship

game, maybe Ohio State is better suited for that. But in November in the cold, Michigan's built for this now. You, you, I was either you or your, your former coho, sorry, Wasserman said it perfectly that Ohio State has spent all these years, uh, building a program to beat SEC while Michigan built a program to beat Ohio State, beat Ohio State. And that's where we had a commenter who, who was even better. He said, he said Ohio State, Bito, Ohio State. And that's where we had this commenter who was even better. He said, Ohio State, this is O-0224 on YouTube. Ohio State is built to hang 50 on Michigan State and Michigan's built to Bito, Ohio State.

Right. And it happened last year where you saw Ohio State put the national, they easily could have won that game against the national champion, Georgia. And it wasn't a fluke that Michigan bullied them around again. Well, and Ohio State, if they're getting a little bit better defensively, they can win the national championship. Yeah. I mean, that's the thing.

And they'll have a new quarterback this year, but with that receiving court, like, we would throw for 3,300, 500 yards in that offense. So it's the defense and stop giving up such big plays. Like that Michigan game, the two Cornelius Johnson touched down. It's like, how in the world did you let that happen? Yeah, they need another post of brother. It makes no sense. They need another post of brother.

They got to find another post of brother. Somewhere. Yeah, simple sometimes. They are not, it's interesting because that factory does, it feels like the, the post of brothers chase young, I agree, but JT2Mau is a pretty damn good pass, rushers. You saw him in the Penn State game last year. He can have more games like that. They're okay.

So what's going to happen with Harbaugh? I've heard we've all heard the four games story. Now it seems like the NCAA, the negotiations have broken down, which that's still puzzling to me that you negotiate the suspension with the team. But that's like the 200th most weird out of control thing that the ACWA does. So is Harbaw, how many games is he actually going to be able to coach this year in your opinion? He'll coach all the games this year because basically what, so the committee on interaction. So this would be equivalent and there, you, it's don't do too much real world justice NCAA equivalency, but it

would basically be the equivalent of the defense and the prosecutor agreed on a plea deal and the judge rejected it. That's what happened. They were going to do a four game suspension and the committee on infractions, which is the one that hears the case, is like, nah, which means they've already decided they want to punish him more than right. Yeah. But now the timing always drags out in NCAA land. So they wouldn't even have the hearing probably until after the season.

You wouldn't find out the results of that until months after that. So Jim Harbaugh, he may be the NFL by that point he's floored with it two years in a row. Or I can see him just double middle fingering them and they say, okay, we're gonna suspend you for six games and you like fine, I'll sit out and then I'll kick you out, you know, kick everybody's ass when I get back. Yeah, it is funny how the NCAA, the NFL does this too. They think that they're branch of law enforcement.

They think that they're actually like the justice system and they have all these hearings. They T.A. And at the end of the day, they're just all making up the rules as they go along. Yeah. Yeah. The hard-bought thing though, I do wonder, because he has, And at the end of the day, they're just all making up the rules as they go along. Yeah. Yeah.

The hard-bought thing though, I do wonder, because he has, you know, he talked to the Vikings two years ago, he talked to the Broncos this past year. It's not like he's a guy who has been a great college coach and we kind of wonder if he could do it in the NFL. He took a team to the freaking Super Bowl. Yeah. He's a great coach. He took the 49ers to multiple NFC championship teams.

Yeah. He is a great coach. He's a 49ers to multiple NFC championship teams. Yeah, he is a great coach period. Yeah, so it's, the Michigan fans get mad when you bring this up. Like, oh, this might push him to the NFL. They're like, how can you say that? I'm like, well, he keeps trying to go there anyway. So what, why is this surprising to you? But if I'm him, I'm like, to hell with this, because the situation is he, now there's

multiple facets to this case, but the Harbaw part is this is during COVID, you weren't supposed to have any visitors on campus. Some folks were coming on to campus to just visit, see the campus. These were committed players that already planned the sign with Michigan. And they driven a long way. And basically he's like, well, I'm going to go see him. And you were not supposed to do that. And so he they went to a burger place. He actually, I from what are the guys that are Michigan's site, the Wolverine have told me he didn't pay for the burgers because he's Jim Harball and it's free. But he put a tip down. And that's where the receipt came from that they hit him with when they're saying, did you do this?

Because he's doing the, you know, what every defense lawyer will tell you, I don't recall. And they hit him with the receipt and he still said, I don't recall. And so now they say that he's giving false or misleading information. And that's what they're actually gonna try him for

as opposed to. It's not the burgers. Yeah, it's saying I don't recall about the burgers, which is yeah this is just such a stupid conversation to be having he went out to lunch with players that are going to play for him. There should be somebody in the room with common sense and the NCAA didn't have any of that. I've always said the NCAA should have a VP of common sense. Yeah, they they don't clearly, but yeah, I it this is weird because Jim Tressel at Ohio State essentially got fired over the same thing. He lied to the investigators about knowing that some of his players were trading their stuff for tattoos and cash and stuff. And I, I wonder if the NCAA people, like the enforcement staff who honestly, they're probably happening as an existential crisis, because what do they do

anymore? Like their job for years and years was to keep players from getting paid. They can't stop that now. So now they're gonna, they're gonna try to hammer every coach they can. But maybe they just don't need to exist. Maybe the enforcement department of the NCAA needs to worry about other things. I got to save their job. Defund. Yeah. I have a couple more questions. Clemson, Dabo, hot seat.

No, definitely not. Come on. But, but I'm intrigued because he's brought in Garrett Riley as offensive coordinator. So Garrett Riley was the OC for TCU. He's the younger brother of Lincoln Riley, the USC coach. Every time Dabo's brought new ideas in a Clemson, Clemson has gotten better. I was a little worried last year when, you know, both coordinators left Clemson promoted from within and it's like,

okay, are you sure what you're doing is going to keep you on pace to compete for national titles? And they look stale, offensively last year. They look fine defensively, but they look stale offensively. So now they're bringing in new ideas. But I do wonder, you know, from a talent standpoint on offense, I don't worry about their defense. I think they're going to be fine there. Do they have the playmakers beyond Will Shipley and, you know, are they going to have the receiving court? Because because remember they think about who they used to have at receiver when they had, you know, pre-injury Justin Ross and T Higgins and Mike Williams and Sammy Watkins and do they have any special receivers like that because that's they're going to need that to get back to where they were.

Yeah, I would say yes hot seat for Dabo by the way. Yeah, because in his own words, he said he would quit coaching college football if the players got paid. It's true. He put himself on a high school. And well, the former Big Ten commissioner said they were going to go D3 and shockingly, they haven't. They've just signed a larger TV.

Yeah, it's easy to say stuff. Yeah, a lot of people say a lot of things sometimes. We don't make this show. We don't, that's very true. Just back to the Big Ten real quick, there's one more name I want to talk about. You know I'm a big fullback guy. We're a big fullback podcast. We do the low-man trophy for the nation's top college fullback You are a voter you're on the committee for the low-man trophy. Oh, yeah, there's one person and one person only on my

My personal preseason watch list and that's Hayden large from Iowa So it you could call Iowa fullback you Wisconsin might have a claim to that too. Army probably has a claim to that. Hayden large is six foot five. A massive fucking fullback. That's insane. It's insane that this guy's playing fullback. Is he going to be able to get low enough to be a proper fullback because we all know low man wins? Transfer from Dort College.

I'm sure you you followed them closely over the years. Now, this is, but this is what I've been wondering why we don't see this more, because this is a tight end playing fullback essentially. And, you know, you have people who have Hbacks who are essentially tight ends that will come into the backfield and do some things, but why not?

It's because the full back position has sort of been skimmed out of existence in most places. Why not just have your tight end body types doing that stuff? Why can't the tight end every once in a while? Just line up in front of the tail back with the quarterback under center, and now you're in the eye formation. Why can't you just do that?

And so I'm rooting for Hayden Large because I think it will open up a new world of offensive football because these guys don't wanna go recruit fullbacks. They don't wanna have to find them. They don't really exist anymore in high school football. You gotta find a linebacker and then move them. So everybody wants to play tight end now.

Everybody's watching George Kittle and Kelsey and they want to they want to do that so Just make them do it. They like to block for the most part Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm in a three-point stance and and let them lead on somebody So you tell me that having like a giant person that weighs a lot of weight Blocking you is more effective sometimes and having a shorter person. That's very heavy Well, you know, it's just sad because leverage though. Yeah, the leverage exactly more effective sometimes in having a shorter person. That's very heavy. Well, you know, it's just sad because the leverage though. Yeah, the leverage exactly. It's sad because like there's,

it's almost like there's no room in college football for like a 510 guy that weighs 270. I do worry about the short kings, but I think I still feel like there is room because like there's always gonna be a Mac team that has a 510, 315 pound nose guard. And he can bench press 550 pounds. And like, it's, there will always be somewhere

for that person to play because, yes, the Georgia's, the Ohio State's, the world, they need those perfect NFL ready bodies. But everybody else, like, you need somebody who either can block or can't be blocked. And so even if you're not the prettiest package, you're still, you're still useful to those guys. So PFT, I think the short king still have a place in the end of the game.

I'm glad to hear that. We saw it. We saw it a year ago. Like we're talking about big guys playing fullback. Hunter Leppki, obviously, great fullback won one-the-word. But there was one play where Jalen Carter stepped in at fullback for Georgia and just took out three guys. And you're like, oh yeah, maybe just having the biggest person you can find laying blocks.

That's the biggest, fastest, strongest, most explosive player on your team. If you're on the goal line and you would like them to knock some people over, not a bad idea. I love the phrase, you just gonna find someone who can block or can't be blocked. Put that put that on a put that on a board and put it behind your office. I don't want to see that in a bar still store. We're going to put that in the on story story.

All right. Last question, rowback question, rho b ack.com promo code take 20% off your first purchase, rowback.com promo code take, Qzips, polo's hoodies, joggers, shorts, everything rowback.com. Two take, QZips Polo's hoodies joggers shorts, everything rowback.com, two part question, give me the final four. And then also if you have a week zero bet that we can bet. Oh, okay, so final four, I'm gonna go,

I'm gonna go Georgia, Michigan. Where am I gonna? See, I owed my former coach, Ari Watchman a thousand bucks if USC makes the playoff. Ooh, but I do think they might be able to do it. Okay. But no, I'm gonna go Oregon. I'm gonna say Oregon wins the Pac-12.

Okay. First, Pac pack 12 playoff participants since 2016 and then the league goes. Yep. And then Alabama. Okay, so two big 10 teams. Georgia and Alabama play for the SEC championship and Alabama. Doesn't win it but makes the playoff anymore. So two big 10 teams, two SEC teams. I like that. Essentially, yeah. And then week zero pick. Anything you like? I kind of like Notre Dame to cover really because Navy and I realize it's 20 and a half, but I'm excited to see Sam Harbin in that Notre Dame offense. In defense of that pick because Navy does feel like they always play Notre Dame close, but when you have an entire offseason to get

ready for the triple option, it's different than when you schedule Navy like week six. Yeah. You have, and you have the buffer, you're going to Ireland, so everybody's going to be all up, you know, Guinness everywhere. Hopefully they don't run out of beer like they did last time. Remember that, I guess the credit card machine stopped working, so they just started giving beer away. And then Nebraska fans are like, all right. Yes. Yes. Yes. I was just in Ireland. They're very

excited about college football over there. You can feel I can tell. I saw blue mountains at the at the wedding reception in Ireland. That's impressive. So it was weird because in Ireland, obviously the Guinness is fantastic over there. Drink a lot of that. But on every tap, they have Guinness, they'll have a cider, and then they'll have Cours Light. Cours Light is the most prevalent American beer in Ireland. Taking over the world. Awesome. It's because of you guys.

It's the billion downloads. The mountains are green. Yes. Well, Andy, thank you as always. We'll have you back on later on in the season. You are the best. I just, there was a moment there where you're talking about Ohio State Penn State and Michigan that I just got like a little like smile creeping over my face.

I'm like, oh yeah, we're here. It's, we're so close now. Yeah, we are, we're like just days away. It's the best. It's gonna be here. It's the best. We have the whole thing in front of us. Oh, nothing better.

So thank you Andy. Everyone go subscribe to his podcast on the on three network and we'll talk to you soon. Thanks guys. See you Andy. Andy Staples was brought to you by the farmer's dog. The results of switching your dogs food from kibble to fresh can seem like magic. When a senior dog starts acting like a puppy again and the pickiest of eaters can't wait for dinner time, you might think some spells were cast. But the farmer's dog doesn't use any sorcery,

they don't use secret ingredients to make their fresh food. They just use science. I switched Blake over to the farmer's dog just a few weeks ago. I think we're in week three right now. They just sent a fresh pack of food for Blake. He absolutely loves it. He cannot wait for breakfast time, can't wait for dinner time. He eats it so fast, he loves this stuff.

Sometimes it's hard to get him to finish his kibble with farmer's dog. He's a member of the Clean Play Club. Lix is bowl, that's how good farmer's dog is. It's the best option for dogs at all life stages because it's not kibble, it's not canned good, it's just really healthy food. Traditional dry and wet dog food options are highly processed, they use much lower quality ingredients than they claim to. They're extremely difficult to portion accurately.

With the farmer's dog, they send the portions to you, they tell you exactly how much your dog needs and if they're growing public blakers, then they stagger it. Then as he grows, they send more food, they send different portions. They've got it all under control. The farmer's dog is awesome. It gets a Blake stamp of approval.

Uh, we're going to do the Mount Rushmore of Ask Kikingsinks very open ended. Who do you think won trilogies? I don't know I have no idea. I think no one do losers for the AWLs. Oh Ass kinkings Mount Rushmore of ass kinkings. I have high hopes for this one I think there's some great things that we can throw out there Who goes first? It's gonna be me and Billy in In this case, me and memes, Hank and Max, big cap and PFT. Okay, I love being last. Let's go. Okay. Ask kickings. Anything is on the table. Yes, with the first overall kick, a kick.

Kick. Oh, it's kick, it's an ass kick. Oh, yeah, true. With the first overall pick, we're gonna go with USA over England in 1776. All right. Okay. There's some back and forth there. The French helped too.

Yeah, but everyone on the America side like, yeah, we crushed them. We lost a lot of lives. Yeah, we did. Mm-hmm. A lot of good muskies. It was a good ass. Okay. Yeah, I don't, yeah, okay.

I don't know from the American perspective. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I feel like it was a struggle, but yeah, we had to fucking sneak attack them across the river. When is it when? Did they didn't they then win the rematch 1812? There was more of a stalemate. Yeah. Okay. All right. It seems like a panda pick. Panter Who? Americans. Yes, yeah, people who voted. Every pick is a panda pick to Americans.

Well, not really. Speaking of that, we have Nazi Germany versus France. I'm about to go with an anti-American pick. Okay. Even draw the verse Apollo Creed. Oh, okay. Well, it's an ask. He literally killed him.

He killed him, yeah. The biggest ask for it all time. Yeah, he literally killed him. He killed him. Yeah, the biggest ass. He killed him on the small real bad. Kills Apollo Creed. And then a don is Creed becomes a beast. Okay, watch that movie on the plane. All right, PFC. We have our whole board. We do.

It's a good looking juicy board. It's a good looking juicy board. I kind of want to go nine in 12, but I'll hear it. Good 9-11. If it's your first pick, it should just be one and two. Right? No, because we don't have to. We don't have to.

You'll never get one. But you should just like come in like, okay. Okay, go, this is all I want. Big hat, you go nine. Okay. The 2000 US Open Tiger Woods Woods winning by 15 strokes. That's a insane number. the 2000 US Open Tiger Woods woods winning by 15 strokes. That's an insane number.

What's great about this is it wasn't like one person kicking another guy's ass. It was one person kicking everybody's ass. 15 strokes is such a fucking out. Like that's silly. He kicked the course's ass. Yeah. So that's our first pick.

What do you think about that, Max? It's a good pick. You should have been prepared for it right off the get. I was. So now we go. You want to go 12 or 15 because. Well, if we want to. 12 I guess. Okay. Secretary it winning by 31 links at the Belmont. 31 links. 31 links.

That's 31 horses. There was 31 horses in between him and the second horse. In Saint to win the triple crown. Best athlete of all time. All time. What? You don't like that pick? That's a good pick.

What, why'd you give the face? Explain the face. We, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we have, we have 15 selections. Yeah, we have three. Okay. And the second one's not as good as those two, but it's great actually. I think first the written word. And spoken. Jason Barrettek versus A. Rod. Oh, okay.

Oh, he's a really nice king. It was like, it was, was that the same fight where they beat up Don Zimmer? Oh, he was so upset about upset. That was so uncalled. Oh, shit. Come on. You should have come out of the computer. I wanted to say that.

Pedro could stand his ground. That was that that was well within his rights. It was a record was not this. It was actually different years. But he beat the shit out of Don Zimmer. And the old man should not have come out of the dugout. That's a fact we can all agree upon. That was a tough site for anyone.

For Yankees, man, you got bodies. Yeah, but your old man just got fucking smokes. What's your grandfather get beaten with a stick? Yeah, like he's wearing a uniform. How the page was supposed to know he was a player. Good point. He looked like a player. That one, yeah. That one.

Yeah, that one is uncouth. Yeah. Next, we're going to go with... Seahawks over Broncos and the Super Bowl. Yeah, pick. The only Super Bowl that I can recall from my time of... I just think I said this and Hank Scott. And it was Gorgami.

It was Gorgami. Yeah, it was 43, Gummy. It was score, Gummy. It was 43 day destruction. I had a Super Bowl party and I bet a lot on the Broncos and I ended that Super Bowl party early. I everyone get out of my house. I also had the Broncos in that game. It was like, this is a paid manning.

Pay this paid manning's year. The Zollers is so good. That's when he set the record, right? Yeah, and then the first snap of the game was a safety. And it was like, well, this game's over. Yeah. Okay, good pick. like, well, this game's over. Yeah. Okay, good pick. This next pick, it's fictional.

Who? He's already saying it's a bad pick. Bob Barker versus Happy Gilmore. Oh, okay. He's a good one. Yeah, guys asked for it. Yeah. But we've got some folks.

Yeah, got some licks in there. What'd you say my choice is people got some likes in there. What did you say? Both fighters got some likes. So have you get more die? Okay, all right. Hank, max, you have nothing left? No, let's go with it. Oh, I like it, go full set.

What's the year? What's the year? Georgia Tech. Oh, yeah. 222 to nothing. The coach said he was trying to get revenge because they lost like 19 to nothing in a baseball game, which apparently he coached the baseball team too. Oh, nice. So it was a football revenge for a baseball game the previous spring. What's your favorite memory from that game?

Probably like the 1732 touchdown. Cumberland College had negative 96 rushing yards. Oh man. And negative 82 total yards. Do they count sacks and negative rushing yards? Is that why? Because if not, they didn't count sacks back then. Yeah. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. Like a sack would count then as Georgia Tech also had zero passing yards. Every they didn't throw the ball one time. That is that is an ask it. Yeah, that is an ask kicking. Okay, we have our last two picks.

Should we go 14, 15? What's the one he said we're never gonna pick? Go you still have no no no no big. Yeah, we should go 15, one. Okay, all right. Great. All right, so I'll do 15. Yeah, all right. Nolan Ryan versus Robin Ventura.

Ask kicking. Nolan Ryan, the old man, he was what, like, 40, something like that. Robin Ventura was a Spray, like, young 20s. Much bigger than Nolan Ryan. And Nolan Ryan just grabbed them in a headlock and beat the shit out of him. It was great.

Yeah. All right, and the one that we're, Nolan's gonna pick, but I do actually think it is a 1-1 ass kicking. It is Trump and the Republican debates. Trump first all the other Republicans. And you guys thought we were paying, right? No, no, that's not a banner pick at all. He just went, he just went, he just went,

he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went,

he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, he just went, you're gay, and you're gay and small, and there's a woman here who cares. Disgusting, you guys would use Trump to try and get votes. No, I mean, that was an ask kicking. It was not an ask kicking. It was an ask kicking. It was the definition of an ask kicking. Take everything out. What he did to the other Republicans, he ended all their careers.

Yeah, Ted Cruz, your wife's ugly. Yeah, you're short. Yeah, Ted Cruz, your wife's ugly. Yeah, your short, yeah, Ted Cruz, your dad killed Jeff. Yeah. Marco Rubio's got a small penis. I know. A little more. A little more. And this tiny tiny little bird school bully tomorrow.

It was a total ass kicking. Do you not agree, Hank? No, it was. It's a good thing. It's a nice kicking. Okay. It's us. Yeah, I think so. I mean, what is this?

Are you following or you don't know if it is? This is big time getting called in class energy. Like what? No, I know my hand raised. I would say this Mount Rushmore versus Hank and Max. Okay, come on. we're gonna go. There's so many other ones. Yeah, I mean, this one, I'm surprised no one else took this. What do we go with? Villanova versus Oklahoma in the final four.

Oh, who could forget? I was there. We were there, we're just kicking. Oh, you guys were there? Yeah. Where are we? Yeah, was it an ass kicking? We were in the biggest blowout in final four history. Yeah. No, we were in the hotel room. Okay, yeah, this like this. We an ass kicking. We were the biggest blow out in Final Four history.

Yeah, no, we're in the hotel room. Okay, yeah, we watched it. We went to the final and say the two of us. There's also a few. You see after and that was also a blowout. And then I left early. No, it's not. It's not play you and see Michigan.

They played Michigan. I thought your thing of 2013. This is 2016. So we weren't there. Nope. I we were there was in 20s. I was there. 2016 Houston. I't there. No, I Wait, I was in 20's I was there 2016 Houston, I was there what was what was the one? I was there with three Michigan was 23. I was at that game don't remember

Centennial when I was at that game. I met a beat Oklahoma by 44 points in what year? 2016 yeah, right and what which was I think you're thinking of Villanova also in 2018, they covered every spread by over 10 points. You're thinking of 2018. But that was Loyola and Michigan was there too. Everyone remembers 2016. Okay, yeah.

2018, that was where Devin Chinzo went. It's such a good pick. We can't figure out the year. Okay, I knew that. I knew that. I know you're a Villanova. I know the Villanova's kicked a lot of ass with this. I think it's a semi- semi final game. Final four.

Okay, well, you said what is that? The semi final and a final four. Got it. Final four is pretty big sporting event. You know, a lot of teams. We had another college basketball game that will say an honorable mentions. Okay. Okay. Also not a final. Always fuck. Something that people would remember more.

I know what you're thinking. Let's finish. Finish the picks. Uh, we're going to go with Joey Chestnut and every Nathan Tothdog eating contest. Except for the one he lost. So you're picking the one he lost as well? No. Why?

He lost multiple ones? Yeah, you can't say every. You can't say every one that he won. If he lost, okay. 2021 World Record 76. Okay. Joey Choslin, 2021, Honda. Cause he did lose a couple.

Okay. Okay. What else we got? Honorable mention time. Honorable mention time. We don't have any. Other college. The other college basketball one,

You know, Vvers Duke. Yeah, that one too. We had Wisconsin versus Will Compton. Yep. That was an ass kicking. How they had like three running backs. I had over 150 yards. Yes. Yes. Yeah.

Very excited about that college football What that's awesome? Yeah, you know, I'm the same room. Why do we need Tom if we got Hank? Yeah, I might not be doing that though. Okay, okay interesting Okay, Hank fire fest. Yeah, I alluded to this earlier But this is really just a testament to to our friend Paul Bistonette just being a great guy because it could have been a much bigger fire fest Was out after the awards at a bar was in a lift to keep back to the hotel. Biz and Grinnell were you know hanging out, steaming some lettuce, talking to yapping it up.

Guadalaman's got a lift. Go lift and was chatting it up with them and they were like, oh, there's a bar down the street. So we were about to go and then I realized I left my phone in the lift. Oh, and I was like fuck I think I'll get my laptop and like log in there to try and get it back. It's a young hate in Grinnell and biz We're like no call it we'll call we'll get it back like we'll wait for it and they called a few times did answer This is like I'm gonna go to bed and he went upstairs. Find the Grinnell last call The guy answers comes back gave him some cash,

got my phone back. So it wasn't too bad of a situation, it could have been a lot worse, but an hour later in my hotel, Biz kept calling, just as a guy to try and help me get my phone back. So he called and I was like, hello, he's like, oh, you got it back.

I was like, yeah, I was like, thanks, Bizz. Like, it was just a very, very, very nice thing to do. Right or die. You think Bizz forgot that you got your phone back and that's what it's called? He went upstairs. Okay.

So he was like, all right, good night. Good luck. Went upstairs and then Grinnell, literally, as we're walking the hotel, we were like going to the elevator. So he called one last time and he answered and we went and got it. Biz wasn't there for that.

Got it. So Biz just kept was just sitting in his hotel room at a mission, just like trying to help me get my phone back. Just class act, class guy. Yeah, it's huge. He didn't have to do that. He didn't, like when I got the call, it was like, it was like an hour and a half later.

And I was like, hello, he's like, oh, you got it back. I was just trying to, you know, trying to reach the guy. What a move. It's like, hello, he's like, oh, you got it back. I was just trying to reach the guy. What a move. It's like thanks, thanks, miss, you're the man. Yeah, good guy. That was a great guy. Great guy. Rider die.

Locker room guy. Can't wait for the two-kinder view. Yeah, very excited about that. We just did it. We just did it. Let's put out that whole clip. Oh, RAPFT. My fire fest of the week, it goes back to last Saturday.

So, last Saturday, went over to Hank's, went over to Hank's apartment, which is wonderful, condo, excuse me. Overlooks Lake Michigan, and they had the air and water show in Chicago, which was a blast. It was so awesome. Fucking awesome. The planes were incredible in Chicago, which was a blast. It was so awesome.

Fucking awesome. The planes were incredible. Oh, yes. It was bad. It's bad. And I'm just out there on the balcony, like a two-year-old watching these planes, like a two-year-old that sees a fire truck going out on the street. That was me for like two hours, just like cheering for the planes.

I was like, it's fucking go planes. Yes. Take a video and I wanted to share the video on social media and the video was one of the coolest parts of the show where the planes like Flew past, Hanks condo, converged, flew away. I put out the video and I was maybe flexing a little bit of my plane knowledge at the time and trying to flex, trying to flex. And I said, look at these sweet third generation air to air and air to ground dual use combat third generation F18 Hornets.

How awesome is that? How awesome is that? About 30 seconds later, I realized that those were not F18 Hornets at all. And they were the F16 Eagles. They don't even look alike at all. One is dual engine, one is single engine. The wings look completely different. It was a rookie mistake and I've just been exposed for being a plane fraud and I feel I mean what else can I say I'm a fucking fraud.

If I can't tell the difference between F16 and F18, plane Twitter was very, very upset with me saying I don't know ball. It was like day one stuff. It was day one. It is. It's day zero. It's day zero stuff.

If you're going to get into a plane. And so I just, I got to start training for next year's air and water show so I don't make the same rookie mistake again because it's, it's fucking embarrassing. It really is. That's super embarrassing. It, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it That's super embarrassing. It'd be like if I had a picture of a football and had the white stripes on it.

And I was like, look at this authentic game used NFL football. You know, like people be like, yo, bro, that's college football. You should think of a mistake. You should just not admit defeat and just argue with everyone. Like, what's that guy's name?

Steven Ruiz, who got in a fight with Mitchell Schwartz about coverage, about protection. Yeah. He's like, you're literally arguing with a guy who played for the Kansas E. Chiefs and won a Super Bowl, like just keep going. Yeah, just double down. No, no, no, no, you're talking about.

Actually, that's the brand new F-18Z Hornet that you probably haven't even seen yet, but only I've seen it. So I'm like 20 year military vets, like you're wrong, P.F.D. like, no, you're wrong, what would you know? It was just a take. Yeah, it was just a real, it was a humbling moment, especially for me, like I profess to be like, no, you're wrong. What would you know? It was just I watched the tape. Yeah, it was just a real, it was a humbling moment,

especially for me, like I profess to be a playing guy and I've just been exposed as being a complete and utter fraud when it comes to. I own both of those planes by the way. It was a day runer. It was a day runer. I sat down and I was like, oh no, what have I done? So yeah, I'm a fraud. I'm a plain fraud.

Yeah. All right, mine goes back to what we were talking about with us dressing up. We were here for the award show. I ordered a suit, M.B. who does a great job for us. She's the best. Asked for my shoot suit measurements. I'm a 38 year old man who doesn't know his suit measurements. Yeah. I guessed on everything and it was so off. I, it was all, I guess it's good that I guess like bigger because I've never put on a suit that didn't fit the other way, but it didn't fit the other way. And then I had a crazy migrating. Yeah, it was crazy.

The coat was like, you could have fit me and Max in the coat. It was insane. And then would you say like 50? I think I said 50. Yeah. I think it's a 52 maybe crazy. It was insane insane misjudgment by me and then I'd buy a new suit and I have Dan yellow who is great also works a part of stool help me with that and I showed up to the suit store and the guys asked me all these questions

Like what style do you like and I was like dude. I just need a fucking suit. I don't really understand this Cost me a thousand bucks. I probably will never wear it again. I'm just not a suit guy. And I feel like we don't have to wear suits. We get to dress like slabs. And that's one of the perks of this job. But it is a little embarrassing to be 38 years old

and not know any of this stuff. No, I don't know any of that. Absolutely. You know how many different numbers you have to know for your suit size? There's like five different things. You have to know inseam, you have to know like shoulder, you have to know chest, you have to know arm length. Who can keep track of all that?

I actually would have, if MB didn't correct me at the first time, like it was, the suit coat was too big. Like it basically, I could wrap it all the way around me. But I also sent in my sleeves, and I was like, I think I'm a 26, and she was like, well, just ahead's up. Everyone else is ordered in the 30s, and I was like, oh, okay, so I don't think I'm a 20s.

So I could have had the funniest suit ever if I had just gone with 26, 52. Yeah. I would have just been insane proportions. So yeah, I don't't know I feel like I I'm a semi-responsible adult, but uh, this is one of those things that I Don't I can't tie a bow tie a tie regular. Nobody knows how tired. I don't know any kind of fashion I don't know what looks or what what cuts or what any of that and I don't I'm okay with it

But when those little like probably once every couple of years, it pops up. And I just feel like such an idiot. And I'm like, man, I could probably take like two seconds, go to a tailor, get myself measured, learn like three facts and be good. And I just don't do it. It's like ring size. When they ask us ring size, just normal. I have normal fingers. XL. Yeah. I've got. XL. I mean, who knows? Like, are we expected to do most guys? Is that something most people in their 30s

know walking around all their suit measurements? I think they do. I think just, I don't think so. I think the average guy wears a suit more than we do. That has to be the case. That's probably true. Really, that's not the case anymore. No, no, no, no, because here's,

I think the sweet spot for knowing what size suit you wear is probably in your late 20s, early 30 when it's weddings on weddings and weddings every single summer now We're old enough where it's like There might be one wedding or two weddings each year we go to but it's not like every free weekend that we have is spent watching a friend Get married right so you kind of lose track But you just use suits that you used to wear in the past and then it gets surprising because then your suits turn into funeral suits and now I have funeral suits. And then the normal suits that's a light blue summer suit for the track.

And also they just don't fit anymore. Great. It's like I'll wear that suit that I wore three years ago for a wedding when I was in much better shape. Yeah. I also, yeah, I tried to justify the $1,000 purchase. I was like, well, I'll wear this when I go to the track and lose even more money. You knew I had a great suit last night, Henry Lockwood.

That was good. I like the color. It was also good to kind of weed out the Nano Gs who were like, oh, Hank looks like shit. Why is he a duck tape? I do read a book, dude. Watch an internet video. Duck tape to the wall.

We did that, they did that so wrong. Yeah. Yeah, the video, someone was asking me about it, and I was like, the original video that the challenge was supposed to be, can you get someone to hang on the wall with one roll of duck tape? Dave and Feats just did it with infinity rolls of duck tape. So they're used like five rolls of duck tape,

and then obviously I was able to stand. And then by the time they realized that like they put out a picture of me, fully duct taped to the wall, losing circulation in my arm, and people were like, you guys know it's a one duct tape roll challenge, that's the whole thing. Is it possible? I don't know, I broke out after that and we never tried to get it. They almost died. Is that like when you cover your body and paint, like when fans get dressed up and it suffocates their skin.

It was just there was just there was no circulation. He could move and you're like Jesus up on that wall. Yeah, I was getting purple. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, good show boys. Everyone have a great weekend. College football is back. Numbers.

Memes, you ever gotten it? Eight. Twenty. Oops. Oh, six nine. One for memes. Twenty eight. Oh, 28. 28. 28. So close, Max. 28. Love you guys. Corey Davis is the fifth pick in the NFL draft.
