Welcome to part of my take today is Wednesday, August 30th and unfortunately guys, it's cut day. Yeah, tough day. Tough day. A lot of practice squad stashing out there. You can always convince yourself that a high like a first, second, third round pick that gets cut. You want to pick that guy up, bring him in, see if you can reclaim him. He flashed a lot of reclamation projects going on out there. Obviously, Peter Minne got cut by the bears.

That's sad to see very, very sad. He'll be fine though as soon as John Gerhardon gets another job. Yeah, he's he's he put up one of the most legendary stat lines in NFL history. We always have a soft spot for old NADP. I hope he finds a place. We also have the big news. So we're taping this at 2 30 on Tuesday. We're getting ourselves ready

for NFL season. We know the hours that come with it the late hours. So we're taping it a little early in the afternoon. Do we think by the end of this show Jonathan Taylor will be at Miami Dolphin? Oh, that's a good question. So here's just to set the stage, the Colts have a 4 p.m. deadline. They have to decide at 4 p.m. whether it's gonna be on the public

and miss the first four games or possibly trade him. The dolphins have been making some funny little moves. They traded a offensive line into the bears. They cut Miles Gaskin. They freed up almost exactly the amount of cap space they need to sign Jonathan Taylor. Will Jonathan Taylor be a dolphin? It'll be interesting.

If he becomes a dolphin and then struggles with a dolphin, will Jimmer say then paid a fly across the country? You can fly a dolphin for shoes. Yes, easy, easy. That's so easy. No problem. Dolphin could sit coach. Yes, dolphin could do Southwest. Yeah. And they could be in like the seas. No problem. Dolphin could sit coach. Yes, Dolphin could do Southwest.

Yeah. And they could be in like the seas. Spirit airlines. You see, it's halfway filled with dolphins the entire time. I hope I thought Jonathan Taylor goes to Dolphins, and I will say this right now, if Jonathan Taylor goes to the dolphins, it will be very hard for me not to bet on the dolphins

every week, because in a dood off, they would probably be leading the leak. So I'll say if he goes to the dolphins, it is the AFC beast. Yeah. That is a gauntlet. That's the group of death. Yeah. It's I mean, dude off Miami dolphins. Okay. You want to do a dude off to a jail and waddle. Tyree kill. Jonathan Taylor. Bradley Chubb. Allick Engold. Jalen Ramsey when he comes back from injury. Oh, that's a good one. It's pretty good. A lot of dudes. That's a lot of dudes.

A lot of dudes. I'm missing out on somebody. Cause Seki's no longer on the dolphins, which we will do on Friday. We're going to do noop. We're Jake will have a PowerPoint to get everyone ready for the interference now. Few real changes. Yep.

Few rule changes. Football math with Hank and the same face with new places. Same face new place is going to be a great Friday show. I'll be with that Jake. The football math. No, football math is just a quiz. I'm going give you okay. Hey, you just gotta bring your brain It's your first time ever your corporate guy now. Have you learned how to put together a deck? Yeah. Oh, yeah Your PowerPoint guy. Hell yeah, you see one of your packaging. Let me see your deck. Let's see it

I memes, I haven't even talked to memes about this, and I was just trying to conceptualize my head, probably shouldn't be doing it live on the pod, but. No, let's get socialized.

We're close to a million on Instagram and TikTok and kind of Twitter. What if there was a world where we could get them all at the same time? Oh, triple crown. Oh, triple crown. Yeah. And like somehow, you know, set it up where if we can do it, then we'll give back somehow. World of explodes. Oh, we could give back.

We could give back. But only if we can somehow cross, if we can get a million in the same day. I would match if we gave back. If we got a million in the same day, Hank, would you be willing to play golf with 3 AWLs? Yeah. Okay. You just described Hank's entire show. So we got we got something.

Jersey Jerry had to make some moves. Who's he going to? Big cat bar. I'd be at a bar. Wait, but why am I a towel? Why am I a towel sized? Who's he gonna call?

Big cat should be bolded. This might only criticism. Did you write this yourself? I didn't ask for criticism. You didn't write this. There should be a question mark after the word goes. You didn't ask for criticism. Did you proofread this?

Yeah. Hank, did you write this yourself? No. And Big Cat is the highest ghost hunter to accompany him to Jersey Jerry's house Yeah, Hank, did you write this yourself? No. Join the Bell. And join the Bell. And join the Bell. And join the Bell. And join the Bell. And join the Bell.

Yeah, I like that. That's good. They play on Halloween. I have to put a bed in right now. Oh howl lean All right, so what else we got we got Ronald the cunia almost getting it costed at the Rockies Yeah, he kind of did get it cost a little bit a bad look for Colorado security. Yep. It was tough They had they had two guys run out of the field. One of the security guards went up, tried to tackle the dude that was hugging Ronald Acunia, fell on the ground. Then the second guy came up, shoved Ronald Acunia, who got tabletopped over the security guy. When I first saw the picture, I thought that these two guys went on the field and just did a tabletop. Yeah. Which plays on the

elementary school playground, one of the all-time moves, tabletop. Yeah. Which plays on the elementary school playground, one of the all-time moves, tabletop in your buddy. Two and all start out. Ooh, right to move real quick. The flying burrito is pretty good. We just tabletop, jump sideways into him. I go number three tabletop, number two, pull out the chair, number one, pancing.

Pancing with balls flapping out. Yeah. If you can get the full pants where the underwear goes to, the hardest all ever last. We didn't mention wedgie. I feel like wedgie, that was a big thing in the 80s.

Yeah. And it was a huge thing on sitcoms throughout the 90s. Yes, Steve Erkel got wedgie. All the time, everybody got wedgie. It was like, oh, we don't have a scene to write in this elementary school sitcom, wedgie. Wedgie, stuff in a locker. stuff in a locker or swirly swirly yeah but that doesn't really happen so much in my experience yeah where's the lovable loser and then he's hanging up

yeah from a tree yeah thanks for getting down guys I got fully pants in high school with with boxers yeah pick up basketball game with my friends. So it's time my friends in your dick flopped out. Yeah, oh Floody yeah, we have a good day or bad day. I don't remember how shooting that day, but it was in the middle It was like trying to shoot who did it to you. We're friends. Jesse. Were you embarrassed friends? Yeah, we're still friends Were you embarrassed at the time? I just I've never reacted quicker. Yeah, my dream is to get pants when for whatever reason I'm just hanging nice and low. And then a good dick day. A good visual. Yeah, that's what I was referring to with Jake.

He took it as how is this basketball performance? No. If I'm having a good dick moment and I get pants, I am going to be so happy. Very hard to do though when you're playing sports, you get the sports dick where your dick ends up like a tick tack. Your body needs the blood and other parts of your, like my heart is like, hey, we need more blood. Where can we get it from?ack, your body needs the blood and other parts of your, like my heart is like,

hey, we need more blood. Where can we get it from? Oh, your tiny little dick. It gets resorbed into your body. Yeah, yeah. So I think I did that. I think I might have pants brand and walker full dick out. It's a little bit less funny when it's an adult

because then it's like, oh, workplace harassment. I would say in terms of funny rankings, it would go a kid-pancing and adult number one. Yeah. Very funny. A kid-pancing and other kid, also very funny. Adult-pancing and adult-not funny. An adult-pancing a kid, very not funny.

Yeah. Very, very not funny. And this all started because we were talking about Hank's wonderful deck. He's got a great deck. Yeah. He's got a great deck deck. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So we had, yeah, Kuhnja, who was very chill about it afterwards, shout out Ronald Kuhnja. Having an unbelievable year seems like the best guy ever. He's like, yeah, they wanted a picture. I didn't really know what to do.

Yeah. So not the first time that two guys from the stands have just run down and accosted a Braves Outfielder. The famous Hank Aaron moment, when he's running around the bases after breaking Bay Bruth's record. Stealing it. I found out today from Big T that those guys almost got shot. They almost got assassinated. Oh wow.

Because there were snipers in the crowd, Hank Aaron was getting all sorts of death threats. So they thought those two guys were threats, they didn't pull the trigger, they just wanted to pat him on the back. That would have been, number one sports highlight of all time. Yeah, that would have Darren Revelle would have been tweeting it every day. Yeah. 4K watch these guys brains

get blown out. We also had the rider cup announced. People are mad. Well, me. We got the South African on the team. Yeah, we have. So the rider cup is Scotty, Sheffler, Wyndham Clark, Zander, Shoffley, Max Homo, Patrick Clientley, and Brian Harman are the top six, which is very funny when I think the PGA announced the captain's picks, and everyone's like, where's Scottie? Yeah, he's like, well, he made the team. And then the captain's picks were Brooks,

Morikawa, Sam Burns, Jordan Speed, Justin Thomas and Ricky Fowler. People are mad about JT. They're mad, they're calling it a boys club. He's got the resume. Here's the thing. JT is a killer in international play. That's a fact. When he's good. Uh, he has not been playing good career national play records, uh, Ryder Cup in presence cup. Cam Young, one, two and one, Keegan Bradley, six, five and one Lucas, clever, two, six and. Keegan Bradley, six, five, and one. Lucas Glover, two, six, and one. Justin Thomas, 16 and five.

Yeah. How do you say no to that? I think that's a resume pick. Dude, when he was 16 and five, he was a top 10, top 20 golfers in the world. He gets up for the big moments. He's like, he's already up. What do you mean? When he was playing in those matches,

he deserved to be on the team because he was one of the best golfers in the world. And he played like one of the best golfers in the world. He's not playing good golf right now. Well, it was the last Ryder Cup. It was two years ago. Okay, Justin Thomas is one of major since then. Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't like it.

Well, let him know. That's fine. I just feel bad for, you know, Keegan and the guys. I like Keegan a lot too. I like Keegan too. He's been playing better golf even Bryson, Bryson, I was 58. It's a team. He's on live.

He's been on the Ryder Cup before. But it's a team sport for the, you know, golf is an individual sport. Now you're doing a team setting. He's the ultimate team guy. He's friends with all these guys and he's a fucking killer when he plays an international play. It's just a lot of pressure. I guess what?

He's 16 and five. Without the entire fan base in the world being like, you shouldn't be on this team, you better perform. I just worry. No, I think I'm gonna perform because everyone's I hope he does. I hope he does. I just wish Patrick were a great story.

I love it when they have to pretend to be friends with Patrick Reed. Yeah. Patrick Reed, like Patrick Reed being not on the team, just Thomas being on the team, is the greatest vibes change of all time. Everyone likes each other. That's what we need.

We need leaders. We need guys who've done it. Come on Hank, you want to win this thing or no? I do, I just, it sounds like it's a risky pick, in my opinion. Okay, well let's make a bet. Justin Thomas will win his matches. His, how many solo matches does he get? I don't know. I don't know the format. I do, solo matches did he get? I don't know.

I don't know the format. I do, that's where I don't, I don't, I'm not as, as well versed on, on the rider cup or how obviously significant the, the, you know, just almost a 16 and five. Obviously him and him and speed their boys and they never lose. So that, I guess if that, that makes sense. So you'd want to put in a team that never loses. I get it.

I just, it's, it's a risk. He's a killer. He's a killer. But imagine if the final day is all singles matches. So I have to perform badly. He won't. Why would you kill a person who didn't make the FedEx? Cup playoffs. He's a killer. He's done it before. Why didn't he kill the season? Because it wasn't an international place. He's changed his game to more accommodate the international playstyle. He's a killer. I think you're forgetting the part that he is a killer. They're the bigger key. Yeah. I hope they win. I hope I hope Justin Thomas proves me wrong. I actually hope they lose. And Justin Thomas is the only one that wins. And it's like we could have

used 12 Justin Thomas. It's still funny to imagine golfers like getting up for international international play like in other sports. If you're playing for your country, most sports are more conducive to like being aggressive, showing a lot of emotion, getting like, you know, running on a adrenaline. In golf, it's like almost the exact opposite where you want somebody that's more mellow that doesn't even care that they're playing. Yeah, but making a big pot, you can unleash. You can unleash. Yeah. We've seen some guys unleash in the past. Yeah. Big time unleashashed I have a question about cut day last thing before do hot sea cool to him When did it become a thing that people just tweet out like a star player gets cut?

Do you guys seen this trend? I mean, I just fucking walked outside Nikki smells goes to the Patriots cut Matthew Judeon because of his comments put our own agronis like no, yeah I don't even have to look I know Like it was like yeah, that was I think't even have to look. I know that. I was like, yeah, that was, I think I got, I think I got got. Oh, you got the pranks for got pranks. Like someone treated like the chiefs cut patch, their homes. Why?

Why? Oh, doing a fake thing. Yeah, but it's not even, it might be for engagement. I think you all on sent out a warning. Oh, what? It's going to manipulate the system like your accounts going to be suspended? Whoa. How would one manipulate the system doing a bunch of polls on who will win each

conference? Please know that any attempt to manipulate the creator compensation program on this platform will result in an account suspension. Oh, like stealing tweets. I don't know what that means, but it seems like if you're just blatantly just tweeting just to get impressions, he's watching it. He's watching it. Yeah, what else are you tweeting for?

Love the game. I'm just, that's how I interpret it. That's how I am, okay. Yeah. All right. Well, we want Elon to keep paying us. So stop manipulating the system. So stop tweeting Patrick Holmes got cut.

Because even though you know it's fake, you still see it and you're like, wait, what? We should sign that guy. Bring him home. Yeah. Like when I see that, my first instinct is like, well, if you did get cut, let's bring him in for work out. Yeah, let's at least see what he's got.

If he's got anything left in the tank. Yeah. All right. There's also Demar Hamlin made the team. Oh, good for him. So yeah, good for him. I think his comeback player, the year odds are at like minus 280 right now. Wow. Odds on favorite to win. for him, I think his comeback player of the year odds are at like minus 280 right now.

Wow. Odds on favorite to win. Do you think that they say in a meeting? Yeah, I think they had a conversation that was like here are two options. One, we cut to more hamlin. Two, we cut him but we give him a job as like supervisor of morale. Supervisor of not dying for the Buffalo Bills and just keep him around and save him. So, a supervisor of a life. Yeah, you always need one of those.

Senior vice president of re-fibulation. Being alive. Yeah, that, I mean, he probably made the team because he was, he is a good, depth guy for them. Well, maybe his clones better than he was. Yeah, that's true. That would be a big upgrade.

What if we picked up a couple tricks when he was in the lab? That would be interesting. Some people have a stroke and then they come back and they can play the piano. Yeah, I don't know where. Where if Demar comes back and now he's like a, now he can read an offense and know exactly when to time it blitz.

He's like, you can see the snap count from Mel Gibson and what women want. Yeah. What quarterbacks want. Uh-huh. We should write that movie. That's pretty good. Holy fuck. We should actually write because like did Amar Hamlin movie.

I don't really know if there's enough to write it now, but if we got our hands on the script and we change the ending to it, where he got a supernatural power, he can hear everything that the quarterbacks are thinking. Yeah, I mean, imagine, imagine him going up against the Sean Watson. Oh, no, yeah, we're going up against Kirk Cousin. He's like, fuck, why is he talking about Coles? Why is he talking about the sweater, a target? We're in the fourth quarter. Yeah.

Phil Rivers, I'd love to hear his thoughts. Dag Navitt, I should be, I should be a pregnant my wife again. Yeah. Later tonight, I'm gonna, I'm gonna put another seed in her.

No, track field star. Oh, no alliles. Yeah, you know about no. Yeah, everyone knows Noah. He was doing an interview where he basically asked, you know, why do they call the NBA the world champion and world champion what they only play in America. And there was a, you know, it was kind of an embrace debate, I guess. Is, you know, is NBA the world champion or they're just

the US champion? Have the nuggets beaten like the series A team from Slovenia? No, you have the Raptors. So that's an optional. Did the nuggets beat Victor Wimba Nyama's team in France? No, the Metz. They did not. They've, they're, they have not beaten the Metz yet. Did the Nuggets beat Yukon? They did not. Right.

So good point. Yeah, this is the dumbest debate ever, especially when you consider all the best players in the world playing the NBA. This is track and field being like, please like my sport. Yeah. And then you think like think about some of those spurs teams. Remember the spurs when they won Maybe their last title and all the dudes had their

Home countries flags. There was like 15 different flags. Yeah, the nuggets famously only represent the United States Yeah, all their good players come from the USA This is one of those cases where guys trying to say something deep and then he says it It's we call it an acho and he says it and then when it comes out of his mouth, he's like, uh, yeah, take that guys. Here's a quote, though. This is from someone in 2010. It doesn't make any sense for an NBA team to call themselves world champions. I don't remember anybody playing anybody outside of our borders to get that tag. Greg popovich. Hmm. Two thousand. Didn't play outside of the borders. You played the raptors. Yeah. But, you know, everyone was kind of roasting him

and I agree, but then you see the course from Greg Popovich saying the same thing. Yeah, he probably was on the Vino. You should be allowed to challenge a team though. There should be, if you're like an Italian basketball team, you should be allowed to challenge the nuggets. If you beat them, then your world champions, if you lose, your team is folded.

That should be the plan, but like a relegation plan. You're talking about a super league. Or the mid season tournament. Yeah. Bringing out the chance. Oh, I got it. Yeah, my other question from this, not a soccer guy, you guys are, thankfully.

What is the best soccer league? Like, if there was in this... The Champions League. I saw your Abia. The Champions League. Is the best teams from each league playing each other? So if they're working... They, call themselves World Champs. So if there was a comparable league, so say if the NFL, if there was a comparable league in like England,

American football, and they were really, really good, they would have basically, well, the Champions League works as every single league, like your EPL, the League in France, the Bundesliga from Germany, the Spanish League, all the leagues in Europe, their best four teams play in a tournament during the season concurrently. That's when you see like Tuesday and Wednesday games, that's Champions League.

So Hank, in a relation to United States sports, it's kind of like college football. A little bit. They've all got their own, like it's the different divisions spread across our country. There's a spread across Europe. And so the best teams from each conference, then go into a final four and then the winner of that is the national champion here.

The winner of that is the UEFA Champions League champion over in Europe. But it's hard to say which league is the best because, like, the EPL is probably the deepest, but then, like, Bayern Munich or PSG or Real Madrid or Barcelona when they had Messi like they would win the Champions League. So maybe the best teams in a different league but the best league overall. I think it's the EPL. Probably the EPL. Definitely not to miss.

Yeah. Yeah. MLS should get in the Champions League. That would be awesome. I would love to see that. He's getting fucking smoked. Okay. Good question, Hank. I would love to get fucking smoked. Okay, good question, Hank. Talking soccer.

Yeah. And then what was your cool turn? Oh, my cool throne is Tiffany Gomez. Yeah, she's back. She's flying. She's back. She's back on the planes. She's so fucking hot. She's back in the... Well, she did an interview. She was playing core.

They kind of was like a little TMZ interview. That's what she does in her eye. At the airport. And she said she wasn't, she didn't know what she saw. She was kind of not giving answers on what she saw on the back of that plane. But she did say that in depth interview is going to have to happen.

So come on the show Tiffany. Let's go Tiffany. I am in person only. I invited her on the show. I have not heard back from her. We would love to talk to you about anything really just being the same room as you I also like the Tiffany Gomez is definitely not an industry plant like this isn't a setup to make someone famous because when She did her initial video then she did a post and She was didn't have shoes or socks on she was given away her free for feet for free online day one

That is a rookie mistake Tiffany you got to make the boys pay for those anyone with management That's that you got it you got cover those feet up and be like listen Tiffany those puppies we get 50k Us a pop she should be coming to air marshal We should just put her on one plane a day. She's just TSA I'm doing so many drugs and guns in my pockets We should put her on one plane a day and she gets TSA. I think so many drugs and guns in my pockets. We should put her on one plane a day and she gets a kick off one person from each flight who's not real.

I like that. Yeah. Real or not real? What a game show. Yeah, Tiffany, come play real or not real with us. It's like, we'll also judge. It's like cake or not. You know how everything's cake?

People just go, you know, you cut through stuff. I think they're real. We just cut through people. Oh shit, whoops, that's how it was real. They're bleeding out. I think they're real. We just cut through people. Oh shit, whoops, that guy was real. They're bleeding out. I've seen the videos, they're definitely real. Yeah. And they're spectacular.

Uh, then my other cool throwin' is Bolero. Our friends at over a Bolero, they are now carrying part of my cheese steak. It's called God. 140 locations, plug God. Love it. Yeah, absolutely. I'd say yesterday when they asked me for a comment,

uh, it was a great, great comment. I said it was a perfect strike. Yeah. Who you gonna call? Big hat. Yeah, Polaro, Parmigese's take Polaro, great friendship. So fun fact about Polaro, their director of food and beverage was my freshman year roommate at JMU.

That's what I was. I didn't realize that. So this is a lot of nepotism. Didn't realize that until we did the first Polaro thing and I was like, Jeff, you can't tell anybody anything that I ever did Yeah, please put our cheese sticks in your in your bowling alley. Yeah, no balleros awesome bowling is awesome bowling is one of those things that every time we do it we're like why don't we do this more? Yeah, why don't we bowl more?

It's so much fun. It should start a league in the winter They're a total strike and there won't be any left to spare. Yes. Like it. Like it. Okay. Good job. Cool thrones, hot seats did everything. Nice job, Hank.

Thanks. Thanks for watching. And you got a great deck. My hot seat is Spanish soccer. More soccer talk today. So the president of the Spanish soccer federation got a little hot water after the women's world cup. He kissed one of his players on the lips

as she walked across the stage. He claimed it was consensual. She has since come out and said there was nothing about that that was consensual. Okay. FIFA has suspended him. And now he is, he's denying all the accusations. He's got a sexual harassment.

It was on video, yeah. So, but he's still saying that that was, that was consensual. Got it. Now where it gets interesting is that guy's mom has now entered the fray. She's engaging in a hunger strike inside of a church to protest all the bad stuff that they claim, that she claimed they're doing to her son. So she's saying that she's describing the media scrutiny as inhumane hounding of her son and she's calling on Vanessa Ruiz and her moso who was kissed to tell the truth about the kiss. So this guy's mom believes him. That's a newsflash, like of course your mom's going to try to support you, but the hunger strike is ongoing right now inside of the Spanish church trying to take the heat off of the present of the Spanish

soccer federation. Okay, let's see what's watching this hunger strike. She just needs to come out and say that we always kiss on the lips. Like if she has video of adult mom with adult son kissing on the lips all the time, you might have a little wiggle room. Well, after every good show that we do in part of my take, Dave kisses us on the lips all the time. Mm-hmm. You might have a little wiggle room. Well, after every good show that we do in part might take Dave Kisses as a son of the lips and one by one is we walk out.

That's just a reward for a job well done. Our birthdays, 12 or one. Our birthdays we kiss. We kiss at midnight. Mm-hmm. So yeah, we'll see what happens with this guy. But then also their coach was in trouble during the World Cup because celebrating a goal

he reached out and he grabbed one of his assistant coaches, boobs. It might just be in coach? It might just, no, different. This is a coach and the president of the Spanish side of the federation. These guys are touchy-feely. This might, it's, Bain is given Italy a real run for their money in terms of pervert or Spanish.

Yeah. That might be the new segment. It's my bar, thona. Pervert, the, her breath with the thupal. So that's my hot seat. My cool throne is Blake Bordles. Blake Bordles on the cool throne. He is living his lifelong dream of working construction.

So he's getting a house built for himself and he asked if he could join the crew that's building his house and work construction. Why are you giving me this look? Where'd you hear this? Billy football wrote a blog about it. Right. So Gass tweeted a text that he got saying this. Blake Bortles told us this on part of my take a year ago. In October. Oh, that he was still working construction.

Did he was doing exactly this? Oh, I forgot. Yeah. So it was gas. Basically someone listened to part of my take, texted gas, the exact story Bortles told us, and then Billy blogged it, which again, Billy was in the room for when Blake Bortles told us this. I got Billy. He said, we're like, what are you doing these days? He's like, well, we're building a new house

and I get bored sometimes, and I go see if I can help the guys out. Okay, Billy but cracked me. Yeah, it was, well, whenads tweeted, I was like, wait, like what? Portals told us what's breaking again. It broke to me twice. That's why we were giving you that face for like,

are you, I thought maybe you were doing it being like, no, I got re broke. I got re broke on this news. Okay, yeah, no, he told us this. Oh, also Blake Portals is retiring from football. Yeah, that's kind of crazy. I thought he was going to be in camp this year. My other cool throne is Boltman.

Yes. Chargers unofficial super fan. Well, he's an official super fan. But he stopped by the pro football hall of fame on Sunday night and he paid respects to junior seos bust in the hall of fame. It was a very funny picture of Boltman looking solemnly at junior seos face. And Boltman is nothing if not civically engaged. men looking solemnly at junior sails face and both men is nothing if not civically engaged we've seen them at town council

meetings we've seen him uh... addressing uh... the owners of the team from the podium both men is uh... he's a legend in the superfan game and it's very funny to imagine both men staring solemnly at junior sails when you know that junior sails face is staring back at the sunglasses face

with a menacing grin that Boltman always has. It was incredible. And just a beautiful picture. Our boy, Clue, Clue Hay would reply with a Photoshop that he made a Boltman observing the Vietnam wall in DC. I'm sure that we're gonna get. Boltman Photoshop's gonna be hot in the streets.

I mean, they are just big time. Keep that in the back of your head. Boltman Photoshop's, I'm buying stock on those right now. Oh, great. Oh, great. Oh, great. Blake Bordesworth construction. Pop.

Pajanath and Taylor. Oh, Pajanath and Taylor. Oh, he's getting popped. Okay. This is a game of discipline. That's it. That's it. Damn.

So he's not going to get traded. Not going out for four. He's going to be out for four weeks. Why, here's a dumb question. Why don't the Colts just put them on the active roster? They kept a pal. You have a not that much right? Why wouldn't they?

Just hope that he shows up for day one. Put that out to pal. Yeah, but that's what I would do. I would just I would put them on the active roster be like maybe he'll change his mind before week one. No, well, he can't. If he's on the pop, he can't play. Yeah, yeah, for the first four weeks.

But that's not what I was saying. Oh, I was saying, I was correcting Billy. I was quote treating Billy, saying, please credit the part of my take-up so that you were on in October. Okay. Billy, I fucked up too. All right. Okay.

But yeah, I don't know what to do with what to do with Jonathan Taylor if you're the Colts. I think you just got to hope that he shows up. I think you got to say he's going to be running back. He's going to show up. He'll show up. Yeah. All right. Pop for John Taylor.

All right. My hot seat, cool throne. My hot seat is the Metz for doing a highlight video of Max Scherzer when he was back in New York last night. It's classy. Very classy. Tough, tough look. Metz fans did boo in person, but I did have some Metz fans being like, they do these tribute videos for everyone. That's

ridiculous. I know that he, he, they won a bunch of games last year. They didn't amount to anything. You can't do, especially a guy who left under, it didn't feel like great terms. You can't do a video for him. That's insane. Yeah. Did the Celtics ever give Isaiah Thomas his video? I think so, right? That was actually, don't. That was like a month long storyline,

we were all paying attention. That was depressing. I don't think it ever happened because he got cut. Damn. So either way, Matt, you're the greatest artist, goat. Got a tribute video, which is very awkward my cool throw and I have to the first is this guy who does a Notre Dame podcast Vince didario Who seemingly shit his pants live recording? He said afterwards he got two cramps. That's why he ran out

Yeah, that listen we stand with anyone who shits his pants. Yeah, could you give it to him? Yeah, that, listen, we stand with anyone who shits their pants, it happens. What are you gonna do? Yeah, it's just a cramp, man. Yeah. He probably was drinking a bunch of Guinness on Saturday. It's an internal cramp, everybody deals with him.

Yeah. I shit my pants out of drinking a lot of Guinness ones. What do you want the guy to do? Do you want him to just stay in the room? No, you can't. You can't. And then my other cool throne is the White Sox. It's been a very bad

year for the white socks. The team was supposed to be good. They were very they have been very bad. Jerry Rinesdorf's been teasing selling the team, possibly moving to Nashville, possibly all into heights. And then a gun went off the other day in the outfield in the bleachers during a game. Now, the reason I I have them on the Cool Throne is we got some more details of it. And I'm a firm believer that if your team is going to have a bad season, make it so bad it's a circus and you can just laugh at it.

And that's where the White Sox have gotten to because Per Peggy Kaczynski was a great reporter for ESPN 1000 said, the shooting at guaranteed rate field during a White Sox game was indeed an accidental discharge by one of the women grazed by the bullet. She reportedly snuck the gun in past metal detectors hiding it in the folds of her belly fat. I don't know how that works anatomically. I just be able to support an entire gun in the folds of your belly fat. It's gotta be a small gun.

I mean, it has to be a small gun, but that is, that, very fat. The white socks have officially reached the level of, that's funny. Like they're doing funny shit, that's, it's such a train record of a season, a belly fat gun. Like you'll just know that like,

oh yeah, remember that season, the belly fat gun? You think she intentionally brought the gun there? You think like she was walking in, she's like, fuck, I had this gun in my purse, and I don't wanna like get rid of it. Oh, I thought you were saying like she forgot that she had the gun in her belly fat already. No, like, you know, you walk in, you're like,

oh, fuck, I have to go through security. Oh, fuck, I brought a giant tool set to the airport. First time flying first class. It's exactly. She's just finding quarters and like, you know, hot dogs. I think it's not beyond the wrong possibility that she had the gun on her bed for protection and she rolled over in the middle of the night.

It got stuck in her belly fat and then she didn't realize that the gun was still in her belly fat with you walked into the game. She woke up, went to the game, it was like, fuck, my belly fat guns here. You know what's almost more embarrassing is that the gun that was jammed into her belly fat went off and she didn't really hit herself.

Yes. She just got grazed. Yes. If your gun actually, it's like a Plexco Burr situation. It's funny that the gun went off in his sweatpants and he shot himself. Right. This woman didn't even really shoot herself.

It just grazed her. Yeah. And it's also, if you have a belly fat gun, that means you definitely have a gun that doesn't fit in your belly fat that you would never bring to a game. What's the charge on that? Yeah. Yeah. You're, you know what I mean?

You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. You know what I mean? You know what I mean?

Yeah. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. You accidentally shooting himself during a game. Yeah, he needs to get fat. James Harden. James Harden, James Harden, definitely.

But yeah, that's an embarrassing situation. Probably why we didn't learn the full story until just now. Yeah. I would love to see the police interrogation tapes where they sit her down or wheel her in or whatever it is and ask her, okay, we think we know what happened here. It was in your belly fat, wasn't it?

So how did you get this in? We get, it's the perfect crime. It really is. It's the belly fat. The belly fat probably, yeah, it's like a kev, the belly fat stopped the metal detector. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, so when she walked through,

do they have to wander down? And she was like, that might be my, that's my IUD. Yeah, that's my belly fat. What do you, yeah, my belly fat sometimes goes off. Yeah. Okay, Jake, your hot seat cool to run. My hot seat's AI.

AI is trying to squeeze out journalism. I don't know if you guys saw this story, but. Alan Everson? No. My drage with Dala. Yeah. So they're having the Columbus Dispatch. What's AI?

Artificial intelligence. They're having the Columbus this match, right? AI sports stories. And one of them was so robotic that they reversed it. So that sounds like the AI just killed itself. Well, my hot. Yeah. Yeah.

AI is on the hot. Yeah. AI to the job. Not a big J. Correct. Got it. This is a hard industry and they're just trying to squeeze out a big J. Correct. Got it. This is a hard industry and they're just trying to squeeze out more of us. Yeah, it's been, it's been going on for a while where a lot of newspapers have been using

AI to write high school, like high school football updates have been done by AI. That's what this was. Yeah, so they're pausing it. This was just a really shitty AI program that they hired to do it. If you want a job done, do it right, pay for the premium AI service. So nobody will know that it's a robot that doesn't. Or just let journalists do it. Or just let a human being do it. If you want a job done, do it right, pay for the premium AI service. So nobody will know that's a robot that doesn't. Or just let journalists do it. Or just let a human being do it.

Exactly. You need that human touch. Yeah. So I'm not standing up for journalism. I'm okay with AI, I don't know. If we all just don't have to work. Well, I'm okay with AI and so far is that I want AI to know that I'm on its side for when it does take over.

And it'll like me. And if AI can be like, hey, you do my job, I'll just chill. I'm okay with that. I think. It's probably a big mistake. We should smash all the computers. That's what I think. Or my cool thing is,

it should be a day in the United States where nobody uses computers. They turn off the internet from college. That would be awesome. Yeah, go dry. Damn. We all, like divorces, everything would just be, be probably. Or we're just really great for one day. Yeah, that dry. Damn. We all there like divorces everything would just be Barbar were just really great for one day. Yeah, that's true

Be optimistic. My cool throwing sister Jean Throughout the first pitch at the Cubs game which big terrible I'm I'm a slap. I'm gonna take that to note. No, no, was it no disrespect? I would knock that out of the park I got out of the park. I actually had a difference. I've been a sister gene hater for a few years when she wound up and then she threw it underhand, I was completely fooled. She was out there throwing junk. Yeah, no, slop.

Scrooze. Yeah, well, I don't think I could hit it. I think I'm breaking a hundred and fourth birth. I would back her down to the low post. I would dunk on her, but I think she might be able to strike me out. Dude, sister gene is so old. I was scrolling Twitter, saw it, and I read it as 140, and I didn't even flinch. Yeah.

Like, she will live to be 140. She's a witch. If you get past 100, it's like, what's stopping you? She is an absolute witch. My grandmother used to tell me, nuns are witches. Mm-hmm. I believe that for several years. I also got a theory for you that you might want to work on PFT.

I don't think I've ever seen Virginia McCasky, Bears owner, and Sister Jean in the same room. That is interesting. Huh. Just two women. She's living in over a hundred girl bosses. Girl bosses. Just girl bosses in their way around town.

Sister Jean badass. Badass woman. Yeah. She is the original girl boss. Because I don't know if history goes back far enough to find another one. It doesn't. Yeah. She is the original girl boss. Cause I don't, I don't know if history goes back far enough to find another one. It doesn't. Yeah.

Okay. She's the first woman. She's the first woman. She is Eve. Okay. Let's get to our interview. We have Tom Fernelli. Then we're doing Kentucky sports radio, best of callers,

And it's finally in person. It is the best college football writer online. True. Hank Lockwood. Andy Staples doesn't write anymore. I don't think Tom Frennelly in studio, Hank and Tom in the same studio for the first time ever. Wow.

Whoa. Tom, great to see you. Thank you, Ver. I would say you were at least 5% of the move to Chicago. It was like, oh, well, like three times a year, we can have Tom on in person. I think that's pretty much the only reason you need to be back at Chicago.

And honestly, since I've moved to the suburbs, this show is the only reason I've been back to Chicago a couple of months. Yes. Oh, that's nice. Turn your back on the city. Yeah, I've just done. I'm a suburban right now Yeah, that's nice. Turn you back on the city. Yeah, I've just done. I'm a suburban right now.

We're over it. I'm going to say something and don't take it the wrong way. I'm not coming on to you, but you look good. You do look good. You look great. I have not, but what I have been doing is golfing a lot. I've been, you know, Hank Stolman. You had Hank in the other side.

Fuck yeah. Hank Stolman, I identity. So I'm trying to steal his. I've been out golfing a lot this summer, took my first lesson in April. So I just have a tan. That is really the only difference for somebody who works from home.

I haven't had a tan like this in three or four years. If you can't tone a tan it. That's what they say. All right, so we are on the precipice of the 2023 college football season, no better time. So let's start big picture Realignment happened all this bullshit happened Are you I'm personally more excited for this season that I've been in a long time just because I think there's gonna be weird

Like blood feuds and teams about to leave and just kind of enjoy it before everyone breaks up How are you feeling going into this season? I'm kind of with you in that I'm looking forward to it because I do feel like this is the last season of college football resembling kind of what we've all grown up watching and rooting for and it is going to change. But I'm also somewhat non-plus simply because like Georgia is obviously one of the last two national titles.

They're probably going to win a third. Like when I look at things going into the season and I look at Georgia schedule, there is absolutely no way in hell they are not making the playoffs. Okay, but here's the one fun part because you said it with Georgia schedule, we get to do an entire season of Georgia hasn't been tested yet. That's a fun thing. But that's the thing. Georgia gets to the playoffs and it doesn't really get tested. True.

Ohio State game was great and then you get to the title game against TCU Which is you know, oh there's the Cinderella story that everybody says can't happen in the college football playoff And then they get what 65 to 7 was you bet on TCU right you told you told America no take the point I did not this isn't all this will be really I don't know I can't remember well It would be a that's it's a smart bet could say. Like everyone's gonna be betting on Georgia, but Georgia's so good. And it doesn't matter what they set the spread. They're just gonna dominate.

It's gonna be an all time, we're just, Georgia's gonna dominate everyone. I don't think they have a game on their schedule. Tennessee at Tennessee is kind of their toughest game. Look what they did to Tennessee last year. I know. So, so we will spend the entirety of this season debating, well, Georgia hasn't played anyone.

And that's going to be, and you're basically hoping that Georgia has just, I mean, you could make the argument, because this is now nitpicking, because they are phenomenal team, is the disease of more going to take over for Georgia, where they've been there, they've done it twice, they're scheduled, they don't have those big games. Then we'll get like everyone ramped up for. Can they trip up somewhere? So what you're saying is like Georgia's biggest opponent is complacency. It's yeah. So, yeah, Georgia versus themselves. It's true. Maybe we might have to put it

on our shoulders. We do because we have been doubting Georgia. Kirby's got. That's the one thing I think Kirby took from Sabin. More important than recruiting or anything is convincing your players. Nobody believes in you because I have seen doubting Georgia Kirby's got he's that's the one thing I think Kirby took from saving more important than recruiting or anything is convincing your players nobody believes in you because I have seen it from the Georgia fan base already because like two people in the SEC media pull picked Alabama to win the league. It's like see they don't know what he believes in you kids. Yeah it's it's going to be funny because Georgia is if Georgia was a little bit worse if they were like barely favored to win the national championship, then I don't think we could say like they haven't played anybody. But there's just nobody that Georgia possibly could play for us to be like, wow, yeah,

Georgia's battle test. Well, that's part of it too, because you look at Georgia's schedule and you say, oh my God, they're going to win all of these games by two or three scores. It's so easy. But then if you put like Auburn with the same Georgia schedule, they're probably going eight and four. So it's not like it's a cakewalk. It's just in comparison to Georgia. There really is nobody else in the country that you could put in front of them that's not within their own league or Ohio State or Michigan or maybe USC this year, although after what

I saw from that defense last weekend, I'm not that high on the trip anymore. But it's just it's one of those things they are so fucking good that there really isn't anybody else that you have any kind of faith in beating them, even with a new quarterback. Right. So one more question about realignment. Is there a winner? Who's the winner and who's the loser from realignment?

The SEC and the Big Tenor winners and television executives are winners and conference commissioners are winners. I mean, yeah, it's that's why I watched the sport. Mm-hmm. I love it when the commissioner does his advertisement during the bull game. I mean, I will say I'm a winner in the sense that since I work for CBS, growing up as a big 10 fan watching Big 10 football going to a big 10 school, the fact that the big 10 is now on CBS is actually something that is very exciting for me.

That's a big one for you. Exactly. So I'm a winner in that sense. I am a loser in that to get what I wanted. I had to add USC UCLA Washington in Oregon. Yeah, to destroy college football. We didn't have to add Washington, Oregon. We did them a fake. No, they were on sale.

Yeah. The Rutgers is a winner too. Rutgers in Maryland. Rutgers in Maryland are big time winners. I mean, they've got a ton of money from just being right place, right time. Yeah, like, oh, they got a lot of cable boxes. Yeah. Oh, James Gandalfini was like Rutgers Ray Rice. I know Rutgers always get shit on, but they really did to say something nice about Rutgers. They use the minimal amount of success for the maximum amount of security. Yeah, I mean, they just played it perfectly.

Jim Delaney back in the day looked at Rutgers and said, hey, that's close to New York. You know what New York has a lot of people? Yeah, we can do the game of Thrones map, we're going all the way to the coast. They love college football in New York. Oh, it's probably, I mean, you guys would know better than me. It's got to be the biggest sport in New York.

Barbecue bourbon in college football. Yeah, that's what we do with our mask. All right, so let's go, let's go big conference by big conference. in college. Barbecue bourbon in college football. We do it. Yes. All right. So let's go. Let's go big conference by big conference. So SEC, Georgia, if not Georgia, then who LS you? Okay. I really, I, I'm not going to say that the Alabama dynasty is dead, but I feel like it's dying. And it's, you know, it's not going well. I mean, there's, say, been this week is standing in front of the media saying he's not going to release a depth chart for their game against, I think middle Tennessee.

Competitive advantage. Because it's a competitive advantage. And it could cause like, it could distract players in the locker room to know what their job is. Yeah. Yeah. So that's me. It's an amoeba depth chart.

We don't tell Hank what day he's working until the day of. No, I mean, Hank doesn't know in a weekend. So they bring in, you know, it's like, we don't know who Alabama's quarterback is yet. We mostly think it's gonna be J. Lemnilro, but you look at that team. Like they had Bryce Young the last few years. The guy who was the number one pick in the draft

was one of the best players in the country and they couldn't get past Georgia with him. And the roster talent wise, like the one thing that Alabama was able to do during this dynastic run recruiting was they killed everybody on the line to scrimmage offensive line defensive line. And they still have good players in those spots, but Kirby smart and Georgia have better players. They have gotten more of those guys. And it's been kind of under talked

about in recent years that Alabama's offensive line last few years for Alabama standards has sucked. They have not been able to run the ball, even with Bryce Young and defense is having to trust that. And I look at LSU. They did a lot better than I anticipated in Brian Kelly's first year. It's a really good coach. He turns out he's a really good coach. And Jaden Daniels was fantastic. Behind Jaden Daniels, they have Garrett Nussmeyer, who some people believe is going to be very good himself if he ever has to go in and start. He's got a huge

arm. They've got a huge arm. They've got a bunch of talent receiver. They're very talented at running back. They've got good players on both the offensive and defensive line. The secondary, there's some question marks there that haven't been proven, but I give LSU the benefit of the doubt when it comes to producing defensive backs. So I just look at that division and I think LSU is better than Alabama this year and they're more likely to win the West.

And I think if you get them to the SEC title game against Georgia, they've got a shot. They've probably got a better shot than anybody else in that conference of beating Georgia. Okay. Who's that offensive lineman that they just said was going to get the number seven on LSU. Um, left tackle, I think. What the hell's I don't know. On the spot. Yeah, you're putting me on spot here.

I don't know his name, but no, it's left tackle for LSU. But what's up? He's got number seven best player in Louisiana gets to rock numbers. But what's up? He's getting number seven, best player in Louisiana gets to rock numbers. But he's not allowed to wear number seven on the field. No, but Teddy Bridgewater can wear number 50, which by the way, tangent, that just looked fucked up. I'm happy about it.

We'll Campbell. Yeah, I think he should be allowed to actually wear the number seven. I don't. But offense alignment, where I seven just won. I don't know. I think offensive line is the one traditional position where God damn it We need to have a standard. All right. You're a fat guy who moves pretty well. You need to be in a 60 or a 70

I don't want to see single digits on the offensive line. We're too classy. We're too smart I speak as a former high school offensive lineman. So I know what I'm talking about leave that for the defensive I'm in there the show boats there the guys who are trying to show off just one one big dude where number seven would be cool It would be cool. We have to wear in the 60s preferably 69 should be the left tackle I think that should be like in soccer where the the the striker gets number 10 nine Number number nine. Nine is that what it is? No 10 is the attacking midfielder kind of guy. Oh, yeah Yeah, that was trying to correct number seven. That's a defensive midfielder

No, that's like a winger. That's where no I'll do. Oh, I was thinking you're getting Clint's mom. What is messy? Where messy? Where's ten? Oh interesting the goat. Yeah, so we're right. Yeah, but he's not a striker Strikes would a facility church is where you don't know when he's gonna strike a pulicist I don't know what's he wearing where they seem a lot what it's even back in where seven winger fuck shit Who cares about soccer anyways? By the way, when you said competitive advantage, do you see the Arizona Cardinals? They're declining.

Yeah, it's the name of starter for a competitive advantage against the Washington commanders. So we're even, we're either going to get Josh Dobbs or Clayton Tune. You don't know which one to prepare for. I'll prepare for. I think Clayton's a good player. Yeah.

I don't know. It's going to be tough to game plan for the Cardinals not knowing who their quarterback is. That's one of those where you see it from an NFL coach. Like every year, there's a new coach and you're like, that guy's not ready for the NFL. No, no, that team is clearly trying to get the first pick. They want Caleb Williams more than anything. Yeah, they did the way that they handled the Hopkins contract. I think they could have just waited a couple days and cut them

And instead they just said no, we'll cut them now. We'll just eat 11 million dollars Yeah, we gotta use our caps may somehow that's really what they're doing There's a cap floor you have to spend a certain amount of money that team is in tankload I just watched the bears do it last year. So I know I know the move all right, so let's talk big 10. I have a take Top to bottom big 10 strongest conference. No But just yes, just say yes. Yeah for sure, but no, all right So maybe not top to bottom, but I do think Penn State Ohio State Michigan All could be conceivably be in the college football playoff and then you have you know

I was always gonna be good Wisconsin could have a very good year with Luke fickle changing everything. There's some salty teams in the big 10 that will keep it, you know, the floor isn't just like falling out after like the top three teams. I do think you're right. At the top, you know, Ohio State and Michigan, we know what they're going to be. Michigan's one of the last couple of years. Ohio State is still Ohio State reached the playoff last year and eight down season. And then Penn State, I do think this is their best chance to win the big 10 in a long time.

Now the problem is I still don't think they're as good as Michigan or Ohio State, but they do have a quarterback drew a LAR. I mean, Sean Clifford didn't get a ton of respect. He was drafted by the Packers. So it's not like he sucked, but you look at the quarterbacks. And he was always the kind of guy you look at like, you know, Ohio States with Justin Fields and CJ Strauss and all these NFL first-round picks. Michigan didn't really have the five star, but they've had good players. Penn State, I felt like, was the one team that was trying to convince itself that it was a national title contender while playing with a jagged

quarterback, you know, just a guy. But I think a LAR is the first guy really, I mean, mixorally was not ultra talented, but he had the moxie. I think a LAR is the kind of guy who has that kind of attitude, but he's also really fucking good. So I think that could give them a step up because you look at the rest of that roster, they're offensive lioness fantastic. They have great running backs.

They've got talented receiver. The defense is phenomenal. So if a lot clicks, that is a team that could win the East, it could win the big time. And they have the benefit of playing Michigan at home, in Ohio State, at the playing club, but they always play Ohio State top. Yeah, they give Ohio State, I mean,

until the last couple of years obviously, but even then it's like Penn State, even when they're bad, they step up and they gave Ohio State more problems in like the last couple of years, obviously. But even then, it's like Penn State, even when they're bad, they step up and they gave Ohio State more problems in like the last decade than Michigan was for most of the part. So now, obviously Michigan's taken over that role, but Penn State can't beat Michigan though.

That's the problem. Like when they play, they usually get the shit kicked out of them up by Michigan. But no, I think, my prediction was, those three teams are all going 11 and 1. They're gonna split the series with each other. Like the home team's going to win every single one of those games.

And it's going to come down to some weird draconian tiebreaker in the big 10 bylaws to decide who wins the division. But I do think because of that, there's a very good shot that once again, the big 10 will get two teams into the playoffs. It'll be whoever wins the East and where finishes and sack. They should just make the tie breaker, whoever puts up more points on rockers. I think I think we did some research into this. I think it goes to the team that had the best schedule, like the win loss of their, you

know, their non-whatever opponents. And I do think like, I can't remember who drew like Northwestern. I think it was Penn State. They're fucked because of that because Northwestern's probably not going to win a big game. Yeah, yeah, tough. What about the West? Are you buying the Badgers? Are you buying the dairy rate?

I buy the badgers long term. It does. That was hurtful. You just said, I know I know booster cat. You went out and you bought a whole lot of players for your badgers. And we're not you bought Luke fickle. But I just think that what he's going to do with Phil Longo coming in. And I know that it gets over blown like they're going to run the air raid, the dairy

raid. But like when Phil Longo was at North Carolina, there were seasons where the Tar Heels had two running backs who rushed for a thousand yards. It's not like he doesn't know how to run the football. They're not gonna be throwing it 80 times a game. But my only concern is to go from the transition of what Wisconsin always has been to what they're trying to be,

even in the Trans-Reportal Era, it's really hard to do that in one off season. So I think there are going to be growing pains. I think defensively they might take a slight step back because Jim Leonard's gone. He said, he'll know it now. I don't know if you know where that big time is. Wait, wait, wait, he's a Wisconsin guy now. He turns out he's an Illinois guy now.

That's cool because I thought he was going to be the next head coach. That's what I was told to, but you know, just a cat stabbed him in the back. Well, as soon as Kirk Forens finishes his 80 year contract prep you know what what does he have tattooed on his ankle and Iowa Hawkeyes oh interesting okay you didn't seem to care when he was winning big 10 titles at Wisconsin well he you know he was there for a little bit of time now you got your best coach ever Brett said at big 10 day media days this is his he's finishing oh he's never said that no he's never gonna leave no coach has ever said that. No, he's never gonna

Leave no coach has ever said this is my dream job, but I'm here for a I've made a mens with Peele. I like him again. There was a time when I was not so happy because you know the whole like karma thing Mm-hmm, you know it hurt me, but now I'm cool with it I love them because he's made Illinois good. Yeah, but no back to Wisconsin I think that I think long-term fickles are fantastic higher for them. I think that they are going to win a fuck ton of games with him there because I think Luke fickles a very good coach. I mean, he got Cincinnati to play off and then that team had nine players taken in the NFL

draft. He knows what he's doing. He's seen the blueprint and I've seen people use like the six and six year at Ohio State where he was like the interim and they had a bunch of people suspended because of dumb penalties is like, oh, you can't win in the big 10. He'll be fine. I just think that this year Wisconsin's probably more likely to be eight and four than it is 10 and two or 11 and one. So I think I'm going to do that. Nine wins is what I like. I think it went nine games. It was a very good year. But I like Iowa. I know it is fun to shit on Iowa for the offense. But like it wasn't that long ago. It was the 2020 season when Iowa scored 32 points

for game. It's not like this is something that has not been happening for Iowa for a long time. It's the last couple of years they had a terrible quarterback who could not do anything. Like I don't think there was anything schematically that Brian Farence was doing that kept Iowa from scoring points They just didn't have the dudes. So so what's it gonna be is it gonna be is Iowa gonna finish with a higher points per game total or Higher ranking in the top 25 at the end of the season both I think that this is I mean they're gonna score I'm on record. They're gonna score 31 points per game and I think they're 31. Yeah, I guess if you put in a punt return and Totally good to play part in that with 18.6 points per game last year. I don't give a fuck go look at 2020 Was great betting on Iowa last year being like all right if I'm laying a number

I know they need to score on defense or special teams and then they would yeah I will the years it has a decent quarterback and a tight end and a receiver. It's scores points. So what do they go out in the portal? They get Kade McNair from Michigan who helped get them to the college football playoff couple years ago. They get Eric all a very talented pass catching tight end to maybe he's not the George Kittle type of blocking tight ends that Iowa is used to, but he can, you know, contribute in the passing game. And you get Caleb Brown, a transfer White receiver who couldn't get on the field at Ohio

State because they've got an NFL roster at Ohio State, but is a very talented player himself. They have talent at the skill position that they haven't had in three years. You didn't mention the full back. The full back too, of course. What's his name, Hayden Large? Hayden. It's...

Yeah, six, five, three hundred pounds. Actually, Donald Trump is Bill McDonald Trump. What a name. He's in line. 6,325. But I think they're going to be fine. I think they're going to score a bunch of points and I think they're going to win the West. I think they are the best team.

There's a one I have the fewest questions about. Interesting. I'd not see a goal in that one. That hurts. They have to play Wisconsin and Madison. Yeah, that wasn't a problem for most teams last year. Yeah. All right You went you have one good year. I'm just saying we're It's like you know, what were you before?

We were basketball school trying to be a basketball school at one point of basketball. What's James Madison? Like a lot of sunbelt last year. You remember that Tom? No, I got a pizza party Give me a huge pizza party. Give me a fun belt. Please you 10 seconds or less. It's fun. James Madison is going to be good. App state is going to be good. South Alabama is still going to be good.

It's time. Right. All right. That's your fun belt. You keep going. Fun belt is awesome. No, it's a very fun conference. And I'm on the record.

I mean, especially now that teams have left the AAC, like the AAC loses Cincinnati UCF and used them to the big 12. I think the sun belt's going to be the best G5 concert within their concert, to conference within the next 10 years because it's the same thing as the SEC. All the football and population growth moving towards the southeast is kind of growing that conference as far as talent-wise because they're getting a lot of the, you know, quote unquote leftovers at the SEC leaves behind. And there's just a buy-in from all the schools about wanting their football programs to be good. It's not like we were, you know, they didn't add Rutgers because of cable boxes. They added James Madison because they gave a shit about football and want to play football. So I think long term, Sunbelt's gonna be the best G5. So do you think that the Sunbelt's gonna be better

than the ACC again this year? It could be. I mean, the ACC is three teams and then a whole lot of I don't know. So Tom, when we were sitting outside, before we started the interview, I mentioned that I was going to Tuscaloosa for Texas Albanne a week to the college football show, Barcel College football show, we'll be there, I don't know to the college football show, Barcel College football show will be there.

I don't know if I'm breaking news, but that is we will be there. And Tom just whispered Texas is going to win that game. They are. So big 12 Texas. It's the year. It is. We have to do our predictions at the beginning of every season on CBS sports.com. And I was asked for the most underrated team in the country.

And I chose Texas. And it felt really fucked up to think of Texas as being underrated because it is perpetually overrated every single year. But I really do think this year's Longhorn's team is going to be very good. Like there, I've got them winning the big 12. I got them in the college football playoff picture. They're not anywhere near good enough to win a national title, but they could be like, you know, the TCU of the world and get to the playoff because they've got Quinn, you are a quarterback who

we saw last year in Austin, they nearly beat Alabama until you were got hurt and went down and they still hung tight in that game and Alabama still needed a last minute, like feel gold to come back and win it. I think they've improved the overall talent depth of that roster. I think you were gives them a much higher ceiling. And if you're looking at Alabama in Texas, like Quinn when you were versus, I don't know, Jalen Milro, that seems like a huge advantage in Texas is favor in that matchup, even in Tuscaloosa. So I think talent wise, they're, they've done a very good job of building that roster where they're

closer on par with the SEC teams that they're going to be competing with in the future. And I think they have a huge quarterback advantage over most teams that they're going to play. And in this sport, that goes a long way. You are in direct opposition with Andy Staples on that. I think you said they're the most overrated. Well, he's a twitch streamer. What is it? Who cares what Andy thinks? Wait, so who else? If not Texas, then who?

Because the big 12 is, it feels like it's fun every single year. I'm actually happy with the no whole conference realignment. It feels like the big 12 will continue to be fun with the team. They had it. But Kansas State was great last year. I'm actually happy with the no a whole conference alignment. It feels like the big 12 will continue to be fun with the team. But Kansas State was great last year. Baylor was good last year. You have like, there's these teams that people don't really expect. And it's just a hard conference to play. Two things can be true. One is that the big 12 is really fun because like, especially last year, nobody in that league

was like, there was no gap. There was no top tier team. Everybody was close enough to where week by week you're going to have a ton of fun games and anybody can be there. But still, TCU played eight one score games. It's not like they were blowing the doors off of teams. But the other part of that is true is that Oklahoma, Texas for mediocre last year, they kind of did not live up to their expectations, which allowed the rest of the league to kind of step up. I don't know if Oklahoma is going to have a big bounce back here. I think they're going to be better than they were last year. But I do think Texas, if if there is any lead team in that conference this year, it is Texas. But I agree with you

in that between TCU, who I think just naturally has to kind of come back to Earth a little bit because besides of everything that they lost, like I said, they played a lot of one score games. We'll never forget that crazy two-minute drill to get the field goal against Baylor to win where they're scrambling on the field with no timeouts and they get the kick off and they make it. I think Baylor's still going to be good. Kansas State is just a very well-coached team that doesn't do stupid shit. And if you can do that in college football, you're going to win plenty of games.

I don't think Kansas last year was a fluke. I look at that league. I think having Cincinnati, UCF, Houston, and BYU coming in, they are probably going to struggle a little bit, but I don't think the gap between them and the rest of that league is significant enough to where they won't be able to win some games. The only team I look at in the big 12 that I have serious

concerns about the bottom falling out is West for India, because they come in with their coaches already on the hot seat. They have a very tough nine conference. They start the year with Penn State. They get hit like that's a team that could lose three or three or four of its first games and then you fire the coach and then you go to the interim and then everybody just kind of quits and then you know everything bottoms out. So when I look at the big 12 as a whole, I think Texas is the best team.

And I think West Virginia is the only team with a chance to be terrible. Okay. All right. What about what about future big 12 team Colorado or boy Deon? We're I know what people are saying nationally about Deon. There's a big conversation about them. Where should the expectations be for Colorado this year? If Colorado gets to a bowl game, Deon should get a lifetime extension. Oh, because here's the thing. There's been a ton of attention about what he's done in the transfer portal bringing all these guys in.

And he's got Shadur, his son at quarterback, who was very good at Jackson State. We have not seen him play at this level yet, but he's a talented player. So that's important to have the quarterback's most important position. Get Travis Hunter, who is a phenomenal player at any level. I know it was, it was looked like he was playing a different sport than most of the kids he was facing last year.

He is a genuine two way threat, kind of like Dion, where he's going to be the best corner on the field. And he might be Colorado's best receiver to. And so they have very talented players, but they just don't have the depth yet. And my concern for Colorado is its offensive line and its defensive line. I don't know if they have enough guys there yet to really compete in the pack 12 because while the pack 12, the bottom of the conference is pretty soft and they might be able to find some wiggle room to pick up a few wins down there. The top of that league is still pretty good. They don't have an elite team, but

they have a lot of very good teams and they have like Utah, if you look at Utah just beating the shit out of people the last years and punch people in the mouth, they're going to crush a Colorado. Yeah. In Oregon state, a Washington state, Washington state Arizona Arizona state Colorado can compete with those teams So it's gonna be a case of how healthy do they stay if they if they don't suffer a bunch of injuries as long as Travis Hunter's playing as long as Dersandas is playing they can flirt with going six and six five and seven But I think they're far more likely to win through your four games. So the Dion six, five and seven, but I think they're far more likely to win through your four games. So the Dion debate conversation is never going to die down as long as he's there. And he's either like, there's going to be, if they go three and nine, there's going to

be way too much of a pushback and say, see, I told you this when it worked, but the truth is for the rebuild kind of thing that they're taking on, you need to give him three years before you can really judge whether it's. Yeah. I want to see Ralphie run somebody over. That's what I want to say. I want to see some spark out of Ralphie That's that I those cowboys that bring him out. I just sit there. I do. I watch it's like come on trample He's time to bring out the the uh what the boomer schooner. I want to see that thing fall over I want to see Ralphie the buffalo run over some cheerleaders. That's what college football is about. Yeah

It's about both On the sideline. Just have him next to the opponent's side like well, they should have her on the opponent's sideline just intimidating the shit out of it because imagine you're standing there trying to watch football game and there's a buffalo standing two feet behind you just snorting. Yeah. You're going to be kind of nervous. That'd be great.

So the Pac-12 though in whole is going to be like the top is going to be very strong. They have a ton of great quarterbacks coming back. K.L. Williams, Michael P. Nicks, BonaX, Cam Rising, Kim Ward, can the pack 12 finally stop cannibalizing themselves and maybe get into the college football playoff before we go to a 12 team. And then we just forget that the pack 12 just never had a team for like 10 years. Yes, it's possible. The problem is that you look at those pack 12 team and then we just forget the pack 12 just never had a team for like 10 years. Yes, it's possible. The problem is that you look at those pack 12 teams and all of them, like obviously every team has a weakness, but I mean, they all have significant weaknesses at certain spots.

Like with me with USC, I already mentioned earlier, like that defense and what I saw against San Jose State last week, a lot of the same problems that existed last last year or still there. They do not tackle well. They when they get pressure on a quarterback or in the backfield, they're great. If they don't, they get torn apart. Who does Alex Grinch have blackmail on? I don't know.

I mean, him and Lincoln are just boys. Like, he, like, Alex, everyone talks about Alex Grinch. We all have that friend. We all have that friend who we know we shouldn't be hanging out with, but we're just kind of right or die with them anyway. And it's like, that's, that's our boy. We're just stickin' to us. And that's like, you're Jake. So that just kind of right or die with them. Anyway, it's like that's that's our boy. We're just stickin' to us. And it's like you're Jake.

So that's kind of Alex Grinchden Lincoln. Right. I guess because I do feel like the one thing that has kept Lincoln Riley from winning a national title is a defense. It just keeps bringing Grinch back every year, every year, it's saying this will work. This will work. Maybe it finally will. I'm still skeptical.

It was the first game of the season. You don't want to read too much into it. Washington is fantastic. Michael Pentax has a rocket arm. They've got two very good receivers, but my concern is, Michael Pentax has had injury problems in the past. If he goes down,

I think there's not, I don't know what's behind that. I think that's a team whose season could be derailed by one injury. Oregon, Bonyx is Bonyx. Like I, Hodgeman. He's looking really good.

Yeah. But Bonyx, like he was very consistent last year, and it's the first time in his career that he's been consistent. Can he be consistent again for another year? I don't know. I, I think their secondary is very sketchy. Defensively, they're kind of, they remind me of USC in a lot of ways. They're going to be having to win a lot of 45 to 40 games, which they're capable of doing, but it's hard to do that weekend and week out in Utah is

camera rising healthy. He tore his ACL late last season. We don't know what his status truly is for this week's game against Florida. They need him and also defensively, they kind of like last year, they were, they're getting punched in the mouth a lot more than you're used to seeing Utah get punched in the mouth. They gave up a lot of big plays in the run game. They weren't as physical. Can they get back to being that if they do there are once again my favorite to win that conference Because they're just the most complete team. Okay, Caleb Williams. Give me a reason why I should doubt him. You should it I want to doubt him so bad. Um fingernails. Yeah, he's not a team guy. He paints on his

I mean, it was who's the last quarterback from the Super Bowl with painted fingernails? Nobody. Exactly. Never happened. So, no, Caleb Williams is the real fucking deal. Like, it's, everybody, you know, you do the bit with, you know, the homes makes this throw everybody goes nuts. Yeah.

Everybody, when there's a great quarterback, compares all the college quarterbacks to this guy's the next mohomes. Caleb Williams is the only one I've seen who actually plays like Patrick, my home. Checked down. Yes, he's a check down. I heard he, yeah.

But like he, he scrables around, he makes ridiculously stupid throws, like against San Jose State the other day. There was the one where he, he drops the snap, he picks it up, he takes one step to his right. And without taking a step forward, launches the ball in the air 50 yards down the field on a dime to his receiver for a touchdown. People can't do that. Like that was just insane, but you also see when he scrambles around like my homes, he's

not looking to run. He just kind of moves around and he's always constantly looking down field, waiting for one of the really talented players. He has it receiver to finally break free of the defense. And then no matter what direction he's moving or what position he is in, he can fire the ball on a dime to every single part of the field. And it is truly incredible to watch. It's why I think he's the best player in college.

It's why I think he'll be the first pick in the draft. And it's why I think he's going to be the first guy to win the Highest Minute consecutive years since our secret. Wow. Bull take. Whoa. I like the. Who else you got in the Highest Minute finals?

Uh, right now, I like the, who else you got in the husband finals? Right now, I would say Quinn Ewers has a shot to get there. I think Bo Nick is going to get there if he has the same kind of season he had last year. And then there's always the guy who kind of comes out and know where I don't, maybe JJ McCarthy of Michigan wins a third straight big 10. It could be whoever ends up being Ohio State's quarterback, which we again, we don't know. Yeah, it's going to be, I think Devin Brown or what the hell is the other kids name? Like I can't record Kyle McCord. So they could be in the picture. Marvin Harris and Junior will be in the picture, but it's such a quarterback award. Like I know Devon

Tess Smith won a couple of years ago, but it is still by and large. So many Heisman voters aren't really like watching every game weekend and week out. It's just. Heisman moment. Do you have a Heisman vote? Yeah, I do. I'm a vote for that's what started our rivalry, by the way, with this guy. Yeah. The first time you mentioned I had a Heisman vote on the show, his response was, that guy has a Heisman vote. Because you thought that you were cartoon.

Yes. Exactly. So yes, I do have a Heisman vote so I can speak that. He gave Ignatius J. Riley a Heisman vote. Can we get you to give your Heisman vote right now? No, I can't. I'm actually not legally allowed to say who I vote for until after the war. Okay. Legally before you said no matter what I'm voting Brock

powers. And I was like really it's high end. Yeah, for sure. I love Brock powers. He's actually he'll get Heisman hype. I don't know if he'll actually deserve it, but he will get plenty of Heisman hype for it. Um, yeah, I think, I mean, there's lots of dudes who are going to step forward and have really big

years. So it's hard to say he was going to win it. But I think the one, the trunk card that Caleb Williams has is what gets held against guys when they win at the first time and come back is they get held up to a standard that they haven't even achieved themselves. Yeah, it's like, well, you did this last year. Why haven't you done this? Caleb Lambs is going to put up the same kind of numbers he did last year. But the one Trump card he has left is that USC didn't win the Pac 12 and get to the playoff. If they do both of those things this year and he has the same kind of season, he's the

reason for doing it. USC is back. That's going to get him enough votes from the casual Heisman voters who don't really watch your follow this for. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Give me one team outside of the power conference. It's one team that we're going to see hanging around

the top 10 at the end of the season. Two lane will still be there. I think they are, you know, Michael Pratt coming back with huge. There were a bunch of teams after him and the transfer portal just throwing money at him. And he decided to stay at two lane. And I think that's very good for the green wave. And I think this is going to be a kind of a Renaissance season for Boise State. Oh.

I like their quarterback, Taylor Green a lot. I think that in the Mountain West, they have a very good shot to kind of run the table in there and have a very good season. And therefore be in that kind of playoff picture all season long. So if I have to pick two G5s right now, I would go to Lane and Boise.

Oh, I, nothing pissed me off more than I, listen, week zero. I usually just bet Whatever and I don't look into anything When I had a significant amount of money on Louisiana Tech and realized that I bet on Hank Bachmeyer. Yes, I was like what the fuck? Yes, this guy again, they played FIU who's quarterback completed five passes for four yards And Louisiana Tech still didn't take their first leave that game until there was a minute left Damn it the transfer portal really does kind of fuck things up because there are it's like I'll turn in

You know, it's like it's hard to follow all 133 teams closely and it's like I'll turn it on in the first Saturday or second Saturday the season I'm like the fuck is this dude playing for the Yeah, so it's it changes things quite a bit. Talks me out Notre Dame real quick. Are we waking up the echoes? No, no, but I mean that's pretty impressive performance. It was a very impressive performance and Sam Hartman is a Huge upgrade over what they had at quarterback last year. There's no denying that I think they're better at the receiver position, which was a problem for me with them last year. They just had no explosive plays outside the numbers. It was all throw to Michael

Mayer over the middle and see if he can break a tackle. You have pine cone as a quarterback. So you're fine. No, some amazing moment for the puns trees out there. But I mean, the thing that's holding Notre Dame back is it's schedule. Like they have to play Ohio State, they have to play Clemson, they have to play USC. They're not getting through all those games without losing at least one, if not two of them, even though two of them are at home.

And then you have other tough game like NC State's going to be a tough game. Duke on the road is going to be, they're going to win, but it's going to be a tougher game. So it's, it's really hard for them to get through that schedule and think they're going to get back to the playoff this year. They, they kind of made things a little too difficult to themselves. So you mentioned Clemson, the ACC, the forgotten conference. Is Clemson is, are they going to write the shit? Because Dabo, he's on my hot seat.

He's on my hot seat. He's on the hot seat. What do you think has to happen for Dabo to get fired? 10 win season. supposed to be the last year they had the most disappointing 10 win season of all time. True. They did. He told us he would quit once college players started to get paid. It's true. He has he has since turned, you know, he has rectified that statement and says, you know, it's not so bad. But I do think Clemson's in a very good spot in that there has been so much attention and hype on Florida state during the off season that it's allowing Clemson to fly under the radar,

which is a very weird thing to say about Clemson because they have dominated that league for the last decade for the most part. So I do think like getting rid of DJU was probably a good thing for them. I just thought he'd job saying it that way. Juliangalela. There we go. But I think they just kind of had to move on. I think that made things too awkward.

He was supposed to be the next great Clemson QB and it didn't work out and they were just kind of playing him out of loyalty. There was a Notre Dame game. I think there was a best game I've ever seen. He was insane. They're also just afraid of his dad. I think that was like this guy's going to get mad. But I think they also had the transition last year of the one thing

that Clemson has had through all these years is they've kind of had, you know, continuity at the coordinator position. So they lost Tony Elliott to Virginia, Jeff Scott had left for USF, and then Brent Vennibles leaves to go take over the Oklahoma job. So it's a lot of guys in new positions for the first time. And the one thing about dabbo is like the same reason he's too loyal to DJ, he's too loyal to his guys at times, and they don't change things up. Like they were too predictable to still. You talked to other ACC coaches, and they would just straight up tell you, the only reason they can beat us is they have more talent than us. We know exactly what they're doing every single play, like just based on their alignment.

We know what's coming at us. They're just better than us and they'll beat us. But that caught up to him last year when they didn't have Trevor Lawrence or DeShawn Watson at quarterback. So this year, Kade Club Nick, the jury is still out. I think he's pretty talented, but I think the most important thing they did was they got Garrett Riley, who is Lincoln's younger brother. He was the offensive coordinator at TCU last year. He's coming in. So they're finally making the changes on offense that Clemson fans and I think the general national media have been saying they need to make for a few years now. I think that's going to be a huge boost to them. I think they're going to have a very solid season. And I do think it'll be between them and Florida State. So that's probably got to be one of the game of

the years. If whoever wins that Clemson Florida State game is going to win that league. Is there anyone else in the ACC that we have to word? I mean, Drake May is obviously going to be a top five pick. Drake May is very good. I don't think North Carolina is very good. And I don't think Drake May is good enough to paper over North Carolina's deficiencies everywhere else on that roster because like defensively, they've been a mess for a long time. And I don't think they've fixed anything enough this off season to think that that's going to improve. So they're going to have to win a lot of 45, 42 games, which Drake May is capable of doing. But you, when you get run into Clemson for a state,

you run into the good teams. You're in trouble. I think NC State is a team that too many people are sleeping on. I think they've got a very good defensive line. And I think that they've been very consistent over the years. So they're probably still going to be good. Louisville people are hyping up because they have a ridiculously easy schedule. And it is ridiculously easy. And they do also have the homecoming factor of Jeff Brahms coming back. But I just don't think they're that good.

I think Scott Satterfield. He got a lot. He got a lot of hate from Louisville fans, some of which was deserved, some of which I just think was people being mad at the coach because that's what you do in your team. Well, he did say also like his favorite part about Louisville is just 15 minutes away from the airport. And he was he's he's too honest. Like that is the one thing about satirfield. He said, he'd love the airport line. And then he also said, when he

interviewed for the South Carolina job, he's like, yeah, I interviewed for the South Carolina job. It's like, why would you tell the fan base that? But anyways, that's, that's something he had to live and learn from. So I think they're going to be good. But I don't think, I think the ACC for the most part, it is a two team league. And there's other good teams, like I should mention Pitt, another good team in that league, but there's, what you get passed for a state in Clemson, it's just a bunch of like, you know, citrus bowl kind of teams.

Right. So give me your final four, and then give me one team that the entire fan base is gonna be pissed off at you for not including in the final four. Oh, that's easy. Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, USC, and Alabama, is to be pissed to me for not putting them in the playoff. Because I don't even think like we had for our predictions, it was like we had to put in our top four and then the first two out.

I didn't even have Alabama in the first two out. Oh, who your first two out? LSU and Texas. Sabin probably loves you now, actually. Sabin loves the disrespect. You're giving up. You know, this card. Yeah.

I hope I'm on the line. You were the biggest purvey ofin loves the disrespect. You're giving up. Really this card. Yeah. I hope I'm on the lock. You were the biggest purveyor of rat poison the past. And now you're now you're just not giving me any respect. What's I think Nick Sabin knows I exist. Do you think Nick Sabin has a you think he'd recognize your name? No. I don't think Nick Sabin.

I think Nick Sabin is more in tune with the media than he wants you to believe because he is on ESPN at the end of the year than he wants you to believe because he is on ESPN at the end of the year doing like their playoff games when Alabama's not in. So pathetic. But I don't think he like outside of the local people that cover Alabama and maybe some like the big name reporters. There's a weather channel guys too. Yeah, the weather.

I don't think Nick knows too many like other national people outside of it. Yeah, you probably right. Hey, Hank, who's your top four? USC, Wisconsin. Oh, LSU. Oh. James Madison. He's thinking.

It's a big, this is a big thing. It's really important. He wants to get this right Penn State. Oh, I like I like Penn State. That would be a hell of a final four my colleague at CBS sports Dennis Dodds final four was Georgia Michigan. Oh, how state and Penn State? Oh, I love it. I was like that is I have no idea how that plays out and if that's if Georgia wins And it's like are we gonna throw all three of them at the same time? Georgia wins and it's like are we gonna throw all three of them at the same diamond? Yeah, it's most 10. Yeah, just a gauntlet. Is there a game that I know that you know they released the lines for week one And you probably saw one game that you were like I cannot wait Texas tech minus 14 against Wyoming. Okay

We're on it. How many units? I went full. I mean go as many as you're comfortable going But I it's it's game of the year territory for me Right now before the masses you know, I don't take game of the years lightly. No, I'm just saying I'm not saying make it a game of the year But I'm saying that's how you said game of the year that you would make it a game of the year That's how confident I am in the pick. I just I think that line is a little short By about a touchdown Game of the year that line line's going to move. I gotta get on now.

I have. If this misses, Tom, I have Texas. I have Texas Tech minus 14. I also have Texas Tech alternate lines at minus 20. So that's I feel it pretty good about this one. All right. What about week one NFL? But who's Buffalo playing?

Their minus two and a half the jets. The jets. I like Buffalo minus two and a half. The jets are getting away too much respect. I agree with that. We were talking in the car and I obviously bit the jets for my ghost pick, which I don't expect to do anything, but I had to do it because it goes told me pick it. The bills are a weird team where their last game that we all remember with the Bengals game was atrocious, but they went 13 and three last year,

and their three losses were all by like two points. And it's like, wait, this team is still really fucking good. We just saw them have their worst possible moment as their last game in here. And I mean, I do think the jets are gonna be better this year. But like, Well, look at that, he gave a little memes. Meme's what, memes will meme you, Jeff. You know what he's been doing in Max?

You've seen it. Yes. If there's any crimes in Illinois memes will have your face on it. Please set before the show Max is a very memeable face. You can fit him into a lot of criminals. It means he's obsessed with Max. I think I think the Jets are going to be better because they have you know really talented receivers and they have that quarterback But I just think week one when Aaron Rogers has hardly played at all in the preseason going up against a Buffalo team that clearly has a lot that it's playing for and has a lot of experience playing together Buffalo should are you are you gonna flip with me and just be like Aaron Rogers never said bad word about the guy. Oh no, fuck Aaron Roger Oh, you're staying with that. Put Duran if you're listening, fuck.

Wouldn't you, wouldn't you, wouldn't it be very funny if he was very successful with the jets and the Packers fans? Like he took less money. He wanted to get out of there. If he was happy. If the Bears don't win the Super Bowl this year, the ideal scenario is the jets beating the Packers

and the Super Bowl. Yeah, actually, I kind of agree with what Big Cat's saying that if Aaron Rogers wins two Superboles with the jets, that makes the entire Packers organization. Even if he wins one. It's miserable. If he wins one in one year and he won one in what, 16 years. Well, when Peyton won one with Broncos, I don't think everybody was like, wow, Indy is a clown show.

I think if you win two with the new team, then it's like, oh, that first organization was holding him back. Yeah, but also Peyton had the, he went to two Super Bowls. So it was like a little, he did bend in the program. I'm saying this year. If he wanted this year, it would be phenomenal. It would be hilarious. It wouldn't be phenomenal. It would be hilarious. I would laugh about it, but I would not be happy. He'd go in as a jet. That that he would, that actually, yes. If he goes into the whole thing, is a jet that that he where that actually yes if he goes into the hall fame is a jet I will love Aaron Rodgers. We we always fuck this up. I don't think you don't they go in as baseball. No, but if he says it on the podium.

I'm going on a jet once a jet. He has Woody Johnson introduced him. He's like, this is the greatest donor in NFL history. Yeah. This is for all my jets fans. That would be that I'll go on Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, if he opens up his speech with J E T S. Yes, yes, yes. That would be great. These are great thoughts. Uh, okay, I have a rowback question. Robac.com promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Q's is Polo. So these joggers shorts. I'm wearing the joggers right now.

Super comfortable. Robac.com best clothes out there. What are their games we looking at week one? I mean, I just fired a missile in Texas Tech Tom. Good, you're gonna win money. You'll be happy you did. The Florida Utah game is one of the bigger games. That's very interesting on Thursday night,

but I also feel like week one overall is kind of soft. It's not great, but I would say that Florida Utah game has a chance to be very fun. It might have a chance for overreactions like if Florida plays well, we might think they're a lot better than the R. Plus. That's what I said. You ran a bird.

So I mean, come on imagine if he throws like four touchdowns, there's only one in completion in the entire game. Could you imagine? I think it was five. Was it? Yeah. Yeah. Whatever.

It was a long time ago. There's COVID. There's 22 for 23 memories. Haze season didn't count. Um, but I think that's an interesting game. I think the Penn State West Virginia game could be very interesting too. In that West Virginia is, I mentioned them earlier,

they have the chance to really bottom out, but more than anything, I want to see Penn State because West Virginia right now in week one will be a good team. I don't know if there'll still be a good team in week six. And I think it's a nice little test for Penn State and then obviously the LSU Florida State game. Yeah, LSU money line. I'm not going to fuck with the spread of that one.

I'm just going to take the Tigers. It was a crazy game last year. And I just I think the Tigers are a better overall team than Florida State. Now I also think Florida State did a lot of work in the transfer portal during the off season. So it's one of those things where it's a team that's used to playing together, playing a team with a lot of new guys who haven't fought together yet. And that can sometimes give somebody an advantage, even in a, quote,

unquote, neutral site like Orlando. Yes. All right. Um, okay. There's been great, Tom. You're the best. Uh, any, any last thoughts for college football? Uh, yeah.

I go back to the BCS. I remember you, you once used to be on this side of the world. Yeah, yeah. Why not computers? Yeah, no, no, not that computer so much. Although they're, you know, chat GPT. It's pretty smart AI. They can figure things out.

It's the best two teams. Yeah. And you just put the two best teams in there. And you don't spend the entire year talking about this nine and three team having a chance to make the playoff and whether they can win the national team. Oh, I do have one last question, because this is a good way to make money. What is, uh, give me the worst team in each power five conference because that usually

until you can really like until it's, it settles into everyone's brain that this team is absolute garbage. You can usually win some money against them. Uh, Northwestern, I think it's too obvious, but they are the worst team in the big 10. The worst team in the big 12. I think right now I'd pick Houston, but by the end of the year, like I said, I think could be West Virginia, but I would bet against Houston early in the year. Would you rather be a good team at Northwestern or would you rather have a strong moral compass? Because that's what we decided to do this off season. We're going back to what made Northwestern great, which was sucking at football, but doing it

honorably. Let's be honest, we're all dudes in this room.ern great, which was sucking at football, but doing it honorably. Let's be honest, we're all dudes in this room. Like, you haven't spanked your friends nude. I mean, come on, what's the name? You haven't done the human loufa? No, I mean, come on, we've all been playing. This is the strike clap. We used to do the strike clap over Billy's head

before every single time. It is great that Teran Revelle has to be the one who stands on a soapbox being like hazing and bullying is fine. I think it isn't search, certain instances. Yeah. Um, the big let's see the pack 12, the worst team. God, Cal, Stanford, I'm, I don't think Stanford is going to be awful this year, but I think they probably more often than I'd end up as the worst team. And especially since they've got a new coach and any law offense early in the

season, I would bet against them. The SEC, the worst team kind of tough. Vandy's not terrible. No, although Vandy, they're, they're offensively worried me a bit again. That's why Hawaii game. But I, I'm going to go and this is, this feels bad because it's not really their fault. I'm going to go Mississippi. Brandon's not here, right?

No, I'm going to go Mississippi state because like you think of what they have to deal with in that it's not like they fired their coach Their coach died and it's not something you can really game plan for and then you don't go through the coaching search If I'm in replacement you just promote the defensive coordinator Zach Arnett who is completely overhauling the offense He's getting rid of what Mississippi state has been using to win games But he still mostly has personnel that fits that offense. And he might have some of that DC brain that you see sometimes on the defensive coordinator becomes the head coach.

And he just wants to try to win game six to three. So I think Mississippi state has a chance to have a pretty bad year. But I would say it's either them or Vandy, but I'm not going to officially say Vandy since my friend works for them. Okay. And then ACC, because this is it. This also, by the way, this is key for like, like a Northwestern, will, these really bottom

of the barrel power five teams, they'll lose to a Mac team, they'll lose and they always get credit in the spread where they'll be like seven, 10 point favorites. It's like, no, they're not good. Yeah, ACC, I'm going to go Georgia Tech or Boston College, although I do think Boston College is going to bounce back. They were very bad last year, but I don't think many people realize how many injuries they had, especially on the offensive line. So I think that just being

moderately healthy improves BC. So I'm going to go with Georgia Tech. Do they have the quarterback back? No, you're going to be transferred to pit. How many, how many years does Georgia Tech have to suck before we get them back right on the triple option? Georgia Tech fan, you got to be it's the worst to switch styles completely. And then suck at that style. That's the thing like Georgia Tech fans, when they made the move and went to Jeff Collins and like we're finally get rid of the triple option. They were like happy and excited about it. And then they've had to watch how it's worked out for them. I think that we need more triple option. I think Georgia Tech is a school we've seen the triple option work. But I don't think Georgia Tech is I think there are some power five schools who

would be better off running that. But I don't think Georgia Tech is one of them. But I'd be happy if they go back to it. I think that it's and we're seeing it too. Like this is getting off topic one of the more concerning things. Go back to last week's game against Notre Dame. Navy's in the shotgun. Army. Army's going to be in the shotgun this year and running a little offense. It looks a lot more like what we've seen from coastal Carolina in the last years. The option, as we know, it is kind of going away, which is sad because my service academy

Yonder's principle is probably going to die with it too. That is sad. It's very sad. I like the service academy overs.'s principle is probably gonna die with it too. That is sad. It's very sad. I like the service academy overs. What are you doing? I'm using it. Well, no, I mean, maybe did you better lose that last one?

It's true. It's for the ninth time in 55 games I did lose the bet. Do you feel good about that though when you hit an under on the service? Yes, he's sicko. No, you're betting against America. He's a fucking sick nut. No, I'm not betting against the defense of this country. No, you're not Protecting us from points. Tom's pick six though for anyone out there is always very sharp

I know Tom in a more personal way where he texted me his 25 picks on Saturday that I texted back my 35x and then we pump each other up like let's have a day 35X and then we pump each other up like let's have a day Hey, do you have any questions for Tom? How dare you Not me now you sad the golf seasons over what what do you guys is not Go seasons not over that's your rule that you have for yourself that you're violating tomorrow Well, no, I figured it's I mean I'm I can imagine you're playing around a golf tomorrow season starts Well, no, I figured it's, I mean, I can imagine you're playing around a golf ball season starts.

That's work. Yeah, I won't be able to golf on the weekends, which are from Friday after work until Sunday night, but I will be able to golf on Monday, three Thursday, pretty regularly. When you went to school, what days of the week did you go? Let's see senior year of high school, Friday, and then in college, Monday's, Tuesday's and Wednesday's mostly. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. No, I didn't go to classes that Thursday. No, I was talking about growing up.

No, you don't go to college on Friday. But what time, when you got off, like when the bell rang at 3 p.m. on Friday and you were a little third grade hank, did you just stay in the classroom, or did you go home? I would go home. And so like, were did you go home? I would go home. And so like, were you at the pool? From the weekend?

A lot of go home on Monday too, and Tuesday. Did you wait until Saturday morning to go play with your friends? Oh, you could play with your friends. You can, that's the thing. The weekdays are subjective. It's subjective. Like it's a state of mind saying it's Friday night,

but it's not. Friday night is the weekend. Is that a weekend night Hank? It's a, it can be considered a weekend night. Okay, I think interpretation of it. It's fake, but it can also be considered a week night. My interpretation is that it is a week and night. So yeah, he's not a world-renowned educated person.

That's a fact. Do you remember that thread on bodybuilding.com? Where there's two guys that have like a month-long argument over how many days they're in a week? Oh, yeah, I think that, I think actually Billy was conceived in that thread. It was a little lab. All right well Tom thank you as always we'll have you back on midseason. Talk some more ball you're the best. That's great to be in studio looking you guys face to face while we're doing

this. I can't wait to do this at the new studio next. Yeah. Simulator. Yes. is that the new studio next. Yeah, sure. Simulator. Yes. Thomas Furnelli was brought to you by Bush Mills. Bush Mills knows that the best things in life are far from the well-trodden path. They're found by those who have a healthy disregard for the status quo and seek a superior alternative.

As the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery, bush mills has never conformed to trends or compromised on quality. That's right, bush mills was making single malt whiskey before there was bourbon, before scotch was called single malt, and before whiskey was even called whiskey. Bush mills, please send me some of your product. I've been trying to get into single malt, trying to find out good starter single malt,

good elevated, nice classy classy single mulch. I would love to sample some of yours. I do love bush mills though. We're going to be putting out some golf content. We're actually hitting the course tomorrow for work, not for fun Hank, for work. But you know what, it is going to be fun because we're going to have bush mills out there with us and we're going to be celebrating bogies. We're not very good at golf. So if we make a bogie, we're going to be celebrating with Bush Mills Bogie bottle. Can't wait for that. Chart your own course. Check out Bush Mills and stay tuned for that golf video that we're going to be putting out. Those golf videos. Max is putting those out. I think within what 24 hours of us shooting them.

A couple of weeks it'll be pretty quick turnaround. Very quick turnaround. Shout out Bush Mills. And now here's our highlights from Kentucky sports radio. And now for something completely different. Was it three years ago we put Cal on the hot seat. We took him off last year. Two years we gave him an extension. This year I think he's good. I think there's like let's see how it goes out.

It's a big year for Kentucky basketball. But I feel like they're going to do this one for Harvey, who by the way, we want to send our condolences to Harvey's family. We love to Harvey. He was a legend. I told him last year that I put a future on Kentucky to win the national title that we would split. I did in fact do that, but an absolutely legendary guy. And I hope I like should should Kentucky put a patch on their jersey for Harvey. I think that we should put another future on Kentucky this year for our league. Proceeds with Harvey's family. How about that when it cashes in done. Let's do it. Let's do the season

for Harvey. One one for him. Moment of silence for Harvey. Always good and radio to do a moment of silence. People think that you are their car radio is broken but uh... yeah i was actually a long moment of silence in radio terms that was but harvey absolutely absolute legend uh... and he remember last year you told us vibes the vibes were good for kentucky basketball uh... i think it was maybe a year off i think this year's the vibes are good for kentucky basketball i think he hit on something there kentucky football powerhouse s c c I mean that's they've shown themselves to be quite a force to be reckoned with in the SEC over the past couple

seasons. I think it's good for Kentucky basketball that they're no longer a basketball school. Yes. That can talk. He's a football school. All the pressure is off Kupapari right now. So he's flying under the radar. Nobody really cares in Kentucky if the basketball teams could or not. They're all focused on the fall. They're focused on football season. And you bring in a good point about Cup of Pepe Perry. Uh, he is the hot seat has gotten hotter, but I feel like with the recruits he's brought in, there's the year. I wonder how the, uh, how Tennessee fans are going to embrace Will Levis as the quarterback for the Titans. Yeah. I wonder if there's any lingering resentment there. It feels like there might be.

There might be some. Yeah. Big T now is a Falcons fan, so he can't speak to it, but we could maybe hear from some people who are volunteer fans and also Kentucky or no volunteer fans and Titans fans. No, I don't want to hear from any callers because I know Big T probably has most of them blocked anyways. Any perspective callers, but block guy. probably has most of them blocked anyways any perspective callers but block guy oh huge punch yeah from the mentions I've gotten this morning though I don't think I have most of them blocked okay we're

gonna have to clean them out you're gonna you're basically like having all the rats come out and be like all right now I can do no I won't block Kentucky fence I don't punch down okay okay this is great because usually we're the people that people get mad at in the comments such as you can tell you sports radio. Direct this all a big T. We're gonna have to reel him in a little bit. Big T, shout out your socials real quick.

They know what to find me. Okay, let's shout out your socials so that we can make sure that people can find you. At ConorHNAP, KNAP. Okay, so at ConorHNAP, everyone find him for anything he says today. Yeah. Go do that. I think that's totally fair. Oh, that's great. Can you tell the people what you're wearing? What's on that shirt there? You started to brag to me about. Well, no, I was specifically wore today. I was asking you. I was asking you if you knew what was

on the shirt. This is the beer barrel, the trophy that Tennessee and Kentucky used to play for every year. Kentucky's one at very seldom. Okay, do we have calls Rick? Yes, we do. Joey is up next. Joey, what's up? Oh, hey, there. Big fan.

Joey Lexington. Uh, I don't miss an episode of part in my take. I don't miss a cat game. I was actually listening to interview you guys did with that Kenny Smith, uh, in NBA. And I picked up his book because of you guys. So thank you very much. Great book and in that book he tells a story in 98. So it's his record career that he was going to get a job at TNT and Brian Hill was also up for the job. This is also also that's how they pronounce it in also.

Also, that's how they pronounce it in all so and also Rico What was your name? C and C job because that's their Joey and Lexington Joey Joey Joey Joey Joey Joey Joey Joey

Joey Joey Joey I got a question for you. What's your what's your favorite part about keemland the horses of the market shot and i didn't know okay cuz joe i you're your big horse guy i think you're the guy i think i heard you want to say that uh... bob baffert was riding the horses yet i was a lot of time ago then i don't know i think you know long time ago i was

uh... like potentially convicted film but people think, you know, a long time ago I was like potentially a convicted fellow, but people could change, you know, I, if you could change, I could change. I think your co-host that would maybe say that a big thing you want to weigh in that people pile on you. He's a people could change.

Maybe literally not. No, it was straight. Maybe a lot of people.

There's a lot of people. There's a lot of people who have been tweeting me today saying they wish that Joey and Lexington had better aim. So they don't have to have this. You know, he had great aim. I'm just built different and I dodge, but the aim was impeccable. He started a little bit to the right. If it was Mariana Rivera, Joey,

I think that would have connected, right? Yeah. Well, maybe a drowning, a different, a different, I have to question. Joey, I got a question for you. I don't really fall. I just want to get some comments on CalPare being a first round agent every year, after every year.

Okay, Joey. That's good, Joey. So, I got a question for you. You don't like CalPare. It makes, you know, it doesn't really question for you. You don't like Cal Pari. It doesn't really make sense, but you don't like him. What do you think in terms of morals, coach Cal vs. Nate Oates? I would say one goes to church every Sunday. One is building a program.

He's going to get and kid from five stars from a program that hasn't been you know uh... his history like Kentucky going all the way back to eight all bruh i mean he's got this guy's born on third thought he had a triple alright so we're in a notice goes to church every sunday so he's absolved from everything else that he does that way tell me is this the joey from from lexington is basically going with the you know hitler had built highways

i i never covered that in my history. But I just know that the SEC title runs through tough galoosa. Wait, but you live in Lexington, Joey, and you never miss a cast game. What's going on here, Joey? You're not adding up. It's starting to fall apart, Joey. You got it. Hey, I mean, you could, if this, if this, you know, things are changing, you've got to

be, you have to be able to say that you got to call it a thing to think. So, so when it comes to Alabama basketball Joey uh they haven't been disappointing have they they've they've excelled they've been they've won multiple titles couple of three throws against UCLA years back you know let's just top one and then uh you know the injury bug jq goes down uh last year's is a tough one that's in the legal state team you know tough team listen I know a guy in new york each front of david volatius he's on some some high list to take a head coach and job they say he's got the most powerful phone in the country

all right so that's it he told that the final four and now he's gonna be a head job somewhere so that's the annual faking that's something now joy i know that your die hard wildcats fan what about louville i know that you like louis will basketball right there building something they do yet i know that he's a good guy so today actually a little word he's interview for g-league head spot i saw

oh you saw that i have to truly don't really truly don't have it got all the rumors joe you uh... you sound like your gambler we do have college football week one coming up you are now a bama fan i see that they're playing middle tenisee the line is uh... minus forty i think it may be taken first quarter minus six and a half if it's available you can always think what's the matter of the that's not a real line is it okay joey joe is but joe is really good at gambling because he just makes up fake lines and then he's like i got it you know i i'm

not saying that got it on twos the I'm not saying I got it on Tuesday. I'm not saying that Joey does this, but I have heard stories about people that will see a line when it comes out, see which lines move the most, and then go back and retroactively say that they bet that line before it moves. Yeah, I think that would get you in prison with the SEC. I think it might. You're a bird side here. You're a bird side here.

I say some, give it out early. I happen to see your Twitter down. You're jumping on the badges for the early yourself. So you have to. I say some give it out early. I happen to see your Twitter down. You're jumping on the the badges for the early yourself. So I have a ticket. I have a tick. Okay. All right. So so I love to show you the ticket of the badger. I'd love to show you the ticket of the Badgers minus 27 against Buffalo week one. If you would show me USC minus six and a half. All right, that's all you show me. I'll show you my I love to come down there. Maybe say the studio. Talk to you. I'll tell you. Thank you very much. I have. I'll tell you. You never invite yourself on another man's podcast.

You know that. Yeah, you know, that friend I know up there with that big phone, you know, you think you get maybe a little sniff upon my take studio, but nothing for that boy. So yeah, I know you never invite yourself on the bread podcast. That's our role. We're a friend for Shilla podcast and I've heard that you've said some bad stuff about it. No, not a good friend. Yeah, not a good friend. Joey, Joey, I mean, this was 10 minutes that you could have been hiding a gun for NATO. So why don't you get back to work? Fair enough.

All right, I was Joey from Lexington. Definitely from Lexington. That was a worse accent, I think. No, I, right off the bat, I was like, it was like 20 seconds. Mickey Mouse accent. Yeah. Rick, who do we got?

Got Oklahoma Jared up next. What is his name? Oklahoma Jared. Oklahoma Jared. All right. Cheers like a turnpike song. I wanted to talk about little brother. The card down the street. The big D's got me fired up this morning. So Tennessee is also only been to one elite eight. Is that true, Big T? And should have won that game, we got Scree. Should have, but I guess it's more loser-time. No, no, you easily could have won that game.

You are a loser, Big T. Big T wouldn't know that, because he's only been a ball fan for like eight years now. Oh. So, that's crazy, too. Interesting. Now, there are some people... There are some people that will point out that there's a there's a picture of big T when he was about It's hard to tell I think he was six years old, but he looked like he was 14 wearing a Georgia sweatshirt now big T. I think is that fake news or was that a real picture?

It's a real picture From when I was like four and didn't dress myself and lived in Georgia. I did, I dressed myself as four. I wish my four year old. You did? I wish my four year old. You did. You did. I wish my four year old.

You did. I wish my four year old. You did. I wish my four year old. You did. You did. I wish my four year old. You did.

I wish my four year old. I wish my four year old. I wish my four year old. You did. I wish my four year old. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You plan. What else here? Oh, Tennessee hasn't won a meaningful football game since 98. So you probably have to get an all men at that last time Tennessee meaningful football game. Yeah,

define meaningful. Oh, that it meant something to anybody other than a Tennessee fan. Okay, that's fair. That's fair definition. They won the best game in college football last year against the number where they two or three, whatever they were. Was that the guy that ended up in the outback bowl in the citrus bowl? I would argue that that wasn't the best game in college football. Last year? He's talking about the beginning of the outback ball. Alabama lost two games. Okay. Tennessee did not go the outback bowl. I think I'll win. Okay. You guys went citrus. Alabama went to no. We played the orange bowl. Alabama played in the sugar bowl.

Not sure where we're getting our facts from here. Mm. Jared, these are good facts. Anything else? Uh, yeah. I basically just wanted to say, what's the B stands for? You've done? Oh, got him. The B and what? Yeah, I don't even know what I don't know. I think got him. He said, bum, was he calling, was he called big B? Big B. I kind of like that. Big B.

We started with big B. No, you're in big B. The yeah, no, that's good. Big B, I want to see. I want to see a Photoshop of big T, but like with bumblebee stripes on them. Yeah, no, that works. You kind of do look like the, was it Charlie,

the bumblebee from the tuna can? No clue what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, look it up. What else we got, Rick? Okay, we got Thomas up next. Thomas, what's up? Hey there, I called in because I got a bone to pick with Mad Jones, but I got a bigger one now with big bone.

Okay, shocker. Boom, wait, I want to hear the match on the phone to pick first. All right, well, I called in because I knew we wouldn't hear to defend himself, but whenever he goes on these trips with Shannon Drew and Ryan, he always takes the king bed and he makes them sleep in other rooms. And he saves all his money. He makes $100,000 off free advertising for his restaurant and his wrestling and his Netflix show. And he can't spend a little bit on that to get

those boys a good bed. Is this true? Is this true that he doesn't he doesn't allow Drew to sleep in a full-size bed? Should they they should draw straws or something? Does he sleep on the like the little day bed bench at the foot of Matt Jones's bed? Is that what you're saying? I mean most, it's a successful radio show. You think they get hotel rooms, but he keeps out on these air being bees with one king bed and everyone else shares a room and you know Matt and then he has to drive the whole time and pick the music and everyone has to stay awake while he's driving even though he doesn't let anybody else drive.

Everyone has to stay awake, is that a rule? He's always talking about like if I'm driving someone has to stay awake with me to talk to me, but he takes them on these long road trips across the country like they're in the car like seven eight hours a day like I don't want to sleep if I'm in a car that long. No, I mean in Matt Jones's defense he might be using points on those hotel rooms. He he flies a lot. I know he travels to Little St. James Island, right? That's one of his frequent destinations. So he probably has those miles, uh, those miles banked up. So he gets the king bed. Do you think, I mean, how much bigger is Matt than everybody else?

He, he drops everywhere. He's not flying with him. Wait, Rick, have you ever gone on a trip with Matt Jones? He made you sleep in the dog bed? No, I've never been on a trip with Matt. Is that because you'd make you sleep in the dog bed? Probably. Does he leave out fresh water for Drew? That's my big question. He does not, that's inhumane. Does he have a doggy door so he can use the bathroom? Okay, good answer.

Good answer. What's your, what's your gripe with big bump? Well, he's a Tennessee fan and like, they don't realize they're just Nebraska fans who just don't know it yet. They, they live by kerosene through these stories of the 90s when they were so great, but he's, but they haven't done anything. Their biggest claim to fame is beating their rival last year on a last second kick at home. If they play that game in Tuscaloosa, they lose by 30.

And Alabama didn't even make the playoff last year's like their most down year ever and that's their biggest claim to say since the great pumpkin left their state. All right, a couple of things, Thomas. If your grandma had balls, she'd be your grandpa, but she doesn't, so she ain't. Secondly, uh, what wins that Jones Thomas, uh, that's fair enough. Yeah, you can, you can be whatever you want. You don't have a lot of accomplishment.

Okay. Well, when's the last timeco is number one in the country tom uh... this is loser talk again who's number one in the middle of the okay anyway i know i'll pay by i want to play game with thomas we're gonna play wheel of fun facts thomas do you want to talk about how you're a rena that's also a mall is named for a racist or billy galas be being a drunk

well hold on repareed as awesome deflections are we on the all is named for a racist or Billy Gillespie being a drunk. Hold on, rubberina is awesome. Deflections, are we going to deflect? No, we're doing wheel of fun facts. I don't know if you know this big team. It's just been talking about what a bum program Tennessee football is since the 90s. Are we talking?

Are we? You want to talk about Tennessee football compared to Kentucky football? You haven't done anything since Peyton Managliff. Nothing. This is a Kentucky fan speaking, correct? Yeah, I'm gonna back you up one thing Thomas Rubbering is beautiful. I've seen a national championship. Are you even all enough to have seen a contancy national championship? We all know you haven't

even seen a lead eight or no, sorry, the NIT used to be bigger than that. So, championship people forget people. You do women's. Yeah. Back when your racist was coaching by the way, uh, rubberina's beautiful. They, I don't know if you know this, but they painted, uh, all of the duck work in the ceiling blue.

Sick. Last summer. That's cool. That's cool. So you're wrong on that part. No, I've been there. It's a beautiful mall and hotel. Great bar. What are you gonna get some balls? It's a great it's a great mall to play basketball in

Matt Jones gets the best seat in in the hotel mall. Yeah, all right Thomas. Thank you Thomas. Appreciate your call Got Ron up next Ron. What's up Ron? Hey, fellas. Can you hear me? Yes, you hear you. Good deal. I don't normally call it and I get a little nervous on these on these talk shows But look I just can't stand when Matt has you boys on okay It runs the show the whole day. I don't know who I don't know who big T. Yes, but I think his name more like little teeth I don't know who Big T is, but I think his name more like little teeth. Oh, what's your run? What could we do to make it better for you? For me, I just can't stand the way you boys talk.

And here's what I got to say about what Big T is. Joe Milkman ain't been good to T was in high school. It was 10 years ago. Damn your comment, Big T. I'm just a little destroyed. So Ron, can we change what you want him up in the big T. Yeah, Ron, can we change what we're talking about to make it better for you? We want to meet you halfway. Well, I really, I don't know if it's y'all's fault. I just really like listening to Matt Jones. That's fair. Totally fair. Hey guy.

Stap to step that shows up. I just tune out, but this big T guy. He's he's drove me crazy today. Yeah, Matt. Yeah, right. Would you would you like to maybe play Wheel of Fun Facts? Maybe that would help you feel better. I'm just happy that Leibis is down there in Nashville and can show you boys what a real quarterback looks like. Oh, last year I think he would have had just fine to the job to show you what a real quarterback looks like, but you caught us after we had faced two or three real SEC team. Oh, okay, is that way lost 44 to six or couldn't have kept a little closer than 40. We just come on two or three real SEC games. Just come on. I believe it was Tennessee's first SEC game after Alabama. So run, run. Where are you calling from? I'm from Milton Kentucky. Okay. Are

you close to B spring? Have you heard us talking about B spring? I have heard I don't know much about B spring, but it sounds like a place I may like to visit once it gets cleaned up a bit. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Actually, I wouldn't want to visit B spring after I want to visit it right now. Yeah, I want to smell that smell. Ron, what's what's the big thing that's going on in Milton, Kentucky, or your your area right now that we can dive into? I want to make this show. I understand we are the stepdads. No one likes the stepdad. You want your real dad, Matt Jones, but he has the, he's joining ISIS right now. So what can we do to help? Well, really the only thing going on here in Milton is the interstate runs through on the way to Cincinnati.

built his interstate runs through on the way to Cincinnati. We got Madison across the river there in Indiana. But I'm not going to let there really not a whole lot going on up here. Any controversies, any local news going on that we should be aware of? Fellas, I don't even know if we have a local news station. I like it. It's good. Ron, you seem like a guy I want to have a beer with. Well, I would love that. I would love that anytime. Okay. Preferably I drink Kentucky bourbon,

but I'll have you a beer if you need one. All right. You'll have us a beer. I love it. Ron, I feel like we've we've we've mended some fences here. Ron, it's only one day a year. Like I said, I don't know if I mind you boys or not, but I can't stand it when, when Matt Jones leaves for a six or seven vacation of the whole year. Yeah, him and all his guys sleep at a dog bed. Him and Hank have a lot in common. Well, I don't know who Hank is, but I do. He takes 15, 20, 20 minutes. Yeah, that's a fact. He nailed it. You, you, 20, 20, 20. One minute. Yes, that's a fact.

He nailed it. You picked that up well. All right, well, Ron, I just want to say one last thing to be big, big, big key. Yeah. Rick, it barns. Only thing he's good for is mopping up the floor after the Kentucky Wildcat coming with these butt.

Why is he beating them more than they've beaten him then? And what about raising good Christian men he's good at that Your Christian Ron man, I am tonight Well Ron, thank you appreciate your call. We'll try to be better in the last half hour We lost wrong you lost my I need cargo shorts guy. What's his name? I want to I want to I want to hang out with Ron. Yeah. Ron's a good dude. Well, I think we also I would expect anybody that calls us up and says, Hey, I don't like you, boys. Yeah, but I just want to let you know that. Yeah. I appreciate that.

At least he has a courage to call DJ. What's up? DJ? I'm not much. You know, everybody talks about basketball and football in Kentucky But there's another big sport here, and that's a chicken fighting and I know you all appreciate Appreciate a good cock fight more than anybody. Yeah, tell me about what's going on in the local cock fight team All right, I keep busing all these people fighting on me got these all these people coming from other Flying from these other countries dropping money and then flying out so have you been to a cock fight in Kentucky? yeah I've been to a lot of them I've been going since I was probably seven or eight

how long does a cock fight last? Rick Bettino's in probably not that long no and it just depends on how quality of a bird it is. Some of them could be maybe two or three minutes to two or three hours. So I'm interested because I never been to a cocktail. What when you're looking at the cocks beforehand, do you know like what a good cock looks like? Yeah, you got to see how they're acting when they're weighing them up and whenever they're

preparing them, you know, if they got good energy, you know, that's always a good one to bet on. So when you weigh in a cock, do sometimes the cock get bigger in between the weigh in, like some be growers, not necessarily showers on the scale? Yeah, usually they weigh them up and then whenever they take them back before they fight on they make sure they poop everything out to lose a little bit of weight gain gain some speed. Okay. What? Now,

we're big sports guys. We love debates. Is there a goat cock? Is there a cock that you think about like, you know, you you be laying in bed at night, you be like, man, that cock from whatever 10 years ago, that was, wish I could see that cock again. That was the cock.

Well, there's not really a specific one. There's specific breeds, you know, some breeds are meaner than others. Some of them are stronger, some of them are faster. You just got to kind of breed them to where you get a fast one and a strong one. Some of them, yeah, some of them are cut. Some of them are not cut yet. What's the, what's the, you know, what's the best breed of cock? Sometimes they trim, sometimes they trim them up and sometimes they just let them go. Yeah, man'scape. What's the, what's the best breed of cock?

Uh, well, usually you like to go for the, the gray roosters. Big Ben, yeah. Yeah, and they like to breed them with a lot of caught around head. It's a red rooster, so. Yep, but. I talked to you about one of those. What, I like this.

Is there a greatest cock of all time though? Big Cat was asking about the goat. We want to know who the legendary Cox are out there. No, there's not really necessarily a legendary one. Once you've seen them all. Yeah, Lexington and Steel. Yeah. What about the names? How do they name the Cox?

They don't usually give them a name. Some people name them, but usually they name them if they just, if they're just going to breed them. It was the best kind. Yeah. The breeders. Yeah. Well, it makes sense. You don't want to, you don't want to get attached to a cock and then have it die. Yeah. They usually only live probably maybe six or seven years. Now, how do they train? Do they train on like a fake cock? Usually you spar on, you know, kind of like boxing. You just let them go without any of the equipment on them,

that way they can just... It feels better without the equipment, yeah. Yeah, build up their endurance, and that way they get their training in before they actually get all strapped up. What's the average bet like at a cock fight? Are people out there giving odds or is it just like money line? Usually it's money line, you know, depending on what kind of fight it kind of fight is, you know, some of them people from flying from like the Philippines, they might land and drop

like $20,000, $30, dollars on one fight and then fly out so yeah do you can you tell what a cock is caught in a fight yeah usually they cut the the comb off the head and off the sides of their head that's usually that's what a cut cock is okay that makes sense and what about this equipment what equipment or cocks or cocks, where is there like, ring or something they're putting on? There's either, sometimes they put knife on them. They tie a knife to their foot. Whoa.

That doesn't sound fair. That's awesome. You brought a knife to a cocks foot. That's incredible. Yeah, and there's a long knife and a short knife. So you got one, it's probably about six or seven inches that one's about three or four. Yeah, if you got like a seven inch cock, is that better or would you rather have like more

girth on it? Well, the long one is usually then quicker fights because if you got a good rooster, they can usually cut one up within probably 15, 20 seconds. Damn. They get a good hit. Damn. Well, DJ, we got to come down and see some cocks. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, we want the invite. I think we just made a plan. It'll be a bucocky. Yeah, they're all over the place. They're in the hills. This is cock under every stone. They're hoks. Yeah, you ever send pictures to your buddies No

Yeah, it's probably smart. It's very smart. Keep the low digital footprint. Yeah, you don't want to make them jealous Yeah, that's true. All right. Well, DJ. Thanks so much Yeah, you don't give them that cock in talk, anything. Yeah, definitely not. Definitely not. We're going to take another break, Patija. We appreciate your call. I don't know if we have anything to give away, but you are caller of the day. So feel good about that.

What do you know about Malik Kunningham?

What about him? I mean, he was electric in college. Why? That's way of Bailey's app. Oh, Bailey's app. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. What do you know about Malik Kunningham? What about him? I mean, he was electric in college. Why? Pats Wade's Bailey's App. Oh, Bailey's App. He came and pronounced his name. Bailey's App, he lectures. Well, that was the nickname. You also traded.

You traded the kicker too. A lot of kicker trades, movement today. Yeah, well, variables doing the variable thing because he hates kickers. He would prefer to never kick a fuel goal or an extra point if he didn't have to. So he's just going to roll the dice and not have a kicker on the roster, I guess. I don't know. We'll see. He'll probably pick somebody up. But that man. I love him. Well, he's cutting him though.

He's electric. He was electric at Louisville. So watching his highlights. Oh, you are tells what you think. Fast. Yeah. He is fast. Sorry for your loss, Billy's happy. Yeah, crazy. It seems like kind of, I always have that time when you completely submarineed Mac Jones.

It seems like they're kind of, they're, they're satiating Mac Jones by cutting Billy's apple. Oh, you think it was one of those? I think it's one of those. We don't want everybody clamoring for the backup. We'll get rid of them. So now we have Malik Cunningham,

who's literally electric. Yeah, but he's not Billy's happy. He's not Billy's happy. All right, Mount Rushmore, two left, it's standings. That would make this the penultimate. Okay, I would. I've been waiting for like, we know, we know. You can't help yourself.

Standings. Yes, big cotton PFT 31, Jake and Billy 30, Hank and Max 27, six points on the board. Congrats, guys. And now we talked about it at the beginning of the show. PFT, could you share that stuff with us? Yeah, just an interesting stat that came across our desk and it's pertinent to Mount Rushmore season.

Very pertinent. Very pertinent to Max and Hank's team specifically. Max has scored four points in three Mount Rushmores when Hank was gone. That's pretty good. That means what, at least one win and a couple second places or maybe two wins. It's 1.333333333333333333333 points per game.

If you do that all season, you won't be in the box. Definitely not in the box. Yeah. That's almost averaging first place Mm-hmm now when Hank has been around without max He scored one point in four-mount rush moors. Oh, no, so that that comes out to point two five points Oh, no for Hank so hey max is five times better at Mount where was max? I Don't know you're the boss of him.

Yeah, where has Max been? No, like I know he's gone this week, but what were the other ones I did without him? I don't know. Whatever. Yeah, listen, you guys, you guys, you guys did your thing, you rigged the election. How?

You made, you knew I was not firing my own week. And you had us do three in one night, which was, you know, a lot on a Sunday night after a long weekend. And the vacation, you pulled the wool over my eyes. What do you mean along? We can hold on. Let me go back. How is seven and then 12 o' 1 a.m. You told Billy not to text you back. So that means could give him the picks. And they had probably their best week of the season without Billy. Listen, I'm not even mad. I respect the move. No, you guys did what you did.

And now you can throw these next two and guarantee that me and Max go in. So good jobs, congrats. It's not over. Put it on, put it on, quote, quote. Like Hank is not mad. I'm never so respected. I, it's one of those things where, you know,

I should have been, I should have been more alert. I should have been on top of it. I was, you know, enjoying my summer, relaxing, not thinking about you guys pulling a move like this, but it was, it was pulling a move like what? You know what you did. No, I don't. We did three last Sunday. You knew, you knew I wasn't it. We golfed on Sunday and you saw, we saw where I was at and you're like, pick out, let's do three and one night. We'll tell Billy not to text back. I'm just gonna throw this out here Maybe you shouldn't have gotten really high on the golf course on Sunday. I like I said I have no choice

I didn't bring it but if someone comes up the counter Tell me what day of the week August 18th was I said no to drugs. Thank you. August 18th was a Friday Oh interesting because August 18th was a Friday you said at 142 p.m. Which is August 18th Friday 142 p.m. That's a work day. Mm hmm. Okay. Uh, I texted the group and I said, someday night, we should do three rush moors makes Tuesday and Thursday easier. And that way Jake can make picks in person. That is a full 48 hours plus. Again, I appreciate the conclusion.

We get the topics. Big hat, what time did you text that? 142 p.m. on Friday. I was on vacation so technically I was off. I wouldn't have even seen that till Saturday. You know why that's also interesting? That's a full 10 hours before the weekend even starts. But I was off that day.

I was off that day. I was off. Oh, you were off that day. So I didn't even come across my my radar till Saturday Again, congratulations you guys pulled it off. I have you know accepted that me max are going in We're gonna make it fun. That's what everyone wanted. This is you know, this is the Hank and Max show It's breaking moves breaking moves breaking moves Breaking moves breaking moves breaking moves

I forgot a part so friday What do I say August 18 142 p.m.? Yeah, I thought that's what the breaking mood. This is more important breaking Scott moly conning ham too That you literally just watch this highlights What the fuck so who's getting fucking Brian Hoyer back in the mix probably yeah damn what a twist that was That was a great moment Hank watching it and just being like yeah this guy rules

Hank comment Just fell in love Do we have one quarterback now? Even Lee Cunningham is the hot girl across the bar that Hank catches eyes. Well, I was watching as I was watching. I was like, see, what's the Louisville? I'm like, oh, it's the Mar Jackson. If I was a conspiracy theorist. Why would you compare the Mar Jackson?

Because you're playing at Louisville. I was watching Louisville. I was watching a Louisville quarterback being electric. Yeah, the Mar Jackson same category. If I'm going to put on my floreo hat real quick here, big cat, and I will, Tom Brady back to the Patriots. Oh, fiction. I'm down.

That's fan fiction. No, that's fan fiction. That's, I'm a, what do you call it? Sophcore porn or like written porn? Erotica. Patriots erotica, like I'm down. Yeah, fan fiction. Yeah, but like a rotica style

He writes fan fiction the opposite way you write hard Okay, so Tom Brady were first reporting here apart might take Tom Brady has been linked to conversations coming back to New England Patriots this year Per here per us. It's this conversation. Okay, so back to me. We don't have any other quarterbacks in the roster Capernick. Yeah, we're about Capernick. Okay. Phil Rivers, Big Ben. Some names. What the f-? Farf. Hey, you're gonna pay attention to this. So back to the Mount Rushmore thing when you said it wasn't on your radar because you weren't working that day. When I texted Sunday night, we should do three Rushmores. That way, Jay can make the picks in person. That was 142 p.m. on August 18th, which was a

At 143 p.m. Hank replied okay That was yeah, he literally saw the taxid replied and then at 143 I'm not gonna be like that's too much guys at 143 You said you actually said one of the topics we were doing and you got zero points in that topic. Listen, it is what it is. I've accepted loss.

These facts have really hurt your case. You know, I guess you guys don't, you know, you shape this narrative well. You didn't wanna keep up with the max. Second place, sad that's over. What? I look forward to my 24 hours in the box. Oh, don't give up. By the way, I don't wanna bring up my top place. Sad that's over. What? I look forward to my 24 hours in the box. Oh, don't give up.

By the way, we would, I don't want to bring up that time. No, it's over. You guys, you guys, well, it would be over if we didn't get a penalty. We would have already been cleared. Well, it wouldn't be over for you guys. Yeah.

Yeah. Also, we won the fair. We won the pay-bomb thing we gave you. Care about me and PFC. I don't want to send a room for 24 hours. Yes. I don't care what room it is. Okay.

So what room? A couch with football? For 24 hours? Yes. I don't care what room it is. Okay. So what room? A couch with football? For 24 hours? Non-stop? Yeah. What world is that possible though? There's no, they could figure it out. There's no schedule.

That's what they should do. Week zero should be 24 hours of football. College basketball used to do it. It was the best. I would love schedule makers. Schedule makers. Get on it. Week zero.

24 hours of football. That's what I want. Okay. So we are doing the Mount Rushmore of things we plan on doing eventually. And so Max and Hank need at least what two points. Uh, so if we win or Hank finishes last, it's over. It's over. Okay. Either of those two scenarios. So you need at least a point. They need to win at least one, too. Yes. They need to win.

Yeah. They need one today, two Friday, or two today, one Friday, or they can win it out right with two, two, and me and Billy going zero, zero. So our magic number for avoiding the punters is one, a tie breaker. Yeah, but to be free and clear, we just need one point in the next two months.

Or you just need a hangk not to sweep the rest of the way. Yes. No, it won't. Okay. Judging by Hank's past performances. Well, he didn't know that we're doing about Rushmore today. It's true. It's not up on him. Hank, you you suggested the Mount Rushmore trilogies and then you only came up with three responses. I forgot that was also what that's not true. That is very true. You two of the three top two before and yeah. Oh man. Okay. Mount Rushmore of things we plan on doing eventually.

PFT are we up first? The Captain PFT, Jake and Billy Hank and Max. All right. Should we just go one one? Yeah. Okay. What? What's that face? Let's just get just end it. Okay. Things we plan on doing eventually getting jacked, getting super jacked. I'm actually going to get jacked though. Yeah, six pack, the whole thing, just looking, just getting in, maybe put in, getting in the best shape of your life. I'm going to have a Halloween six pack, it's going to be incredible. Getting in the best shape of your life.

Going to go as the situation for Halloween this year, it's going to be awesome. I have said this conversation to myself, internal monologue, no less than a thousand times in my life. It usually really pops up on a Sunday night, but it will happen at any time where I'm just like, yeah, you know what, I'm gonna get jacked. You know what, I did this a couple of weeks ago, I decided I wasn't gonna die it,

I wasn't gonna try to lose weight, I was gonna bulk, I was gonna get jacked up. In retrospect, that was just me being like, here's a free pass to eat whatever you want while working out the exact same amount. The lengths that we go to try to trick ourselves into getting jacked. My new house, I have a gym with like a treadmill and a squat rack

and I purposely put multiple TVs in there because I was like, oh, I'll watch the games and I'll get Jack. Yeah. I've been in it once. Yeah, I've got, I've got a peloton. I've got those adjustable dumbbells that go up to like a hundred pounds.

It's crazy. I have two gym memberships. It's crazy. And I use half of one of them. It can't. I'm gonna get Jack though. I'm gonna get Jack. I'm gonna get Jack.

This is gonna work. I think it's so, so broken right now. It's a man. Stand up for yourself, Hank. Come on. No, I mean, get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. This is gonna work. I think it's so, so broken right now as a man. Stand up for yourself, Hank. Come on. No, I mean, I also agree. Show some right. I have 10 years straight of getting jacked plans. Yeah.

I've got a couple months. Let's just do it. It's just that I've gotten good shape for like two months. What if we just do some traveling? You think we'd get more respect? For sure. Well, because like I obviously struggle with like, if I got skinny people be like,

oh, you're not funny, but like, yeah, the best shape of your life is actually round. Okay, hurt people, hurt people. That's true, I think the fans agree. I think the fans agree. I think the people are the people. But if we all got Super jam, I feel like we could like round his beauty.

Almost reconfigure this podcast is like a full life advice. Maybe we all got Jack and we like move to the beach and just press and store in the studio. Yeah, it's not a bad idea. No, I'm doing to get Jacked. I'm spending a lot of time in the sauna. Yeah, I'm a sauna guy now. Quattro. No, I'm doing to get jacked. I'm spending a lot of time in the sauna. Yeah.

I'm a sauna guy now. So whatever Joe Rogan stats are on the sauna, I'm doing five degrees hotter, I'm doing five minutes longer. We are gonna have a squat rack in the new office, are we not? Yeah. Okay, so let's get jacked.

Squat tober. Dude, if we just do squat, this thing is like, you can just do squats to get jacked. Yeah, you can do, you can definitely do all your testosterone. My thing is like once I really get into the rhythm, I have so much room to grow. Cause some people just do squats to get jacked. Yeah, you can do it. You can definitely do all your tests. My thing is like once I really get into the rhythm, I have so much room to grow. Because some people it's like they get jacked

and you know you were jacked and then you got it fell apart. I've never even gotten jacked. So that means that I'm better than you. At one point. At one point. But I can still climb a higher mountain. That's a beast like a crossfit. I can only do it again.

Get injured on the first day. Yeah, crossfit's dumb. Who's up? I think it's Hank. Same order every week. All right, Mr. Positions, you've done a lot. Yeah, so this one's pretty basic. Big-time PFT, you've already done this.

PFT recently, it's pretty simple, buying a house. Oh, okay, that's a good one. No matter what position you're in, everyone plans a buying house, PFTU just did that two months ago for the first time. 22 million dollars. Yeah, that's all you need. Yeah, so not much to it, but plan on doing it eventually.

I like it, that's a good pick. That's a good pick, Hank did it as well. You're not gonna say anything about him. Was it a house? No, it's condo, but it's still he bought it. He owns properties's a good pick. That's good pick. Hank did it as well. You're not gonna say anything about him. What is it? House. No, it's condo, but it's still he bought it. He owns properties a property. I was on the ground, I'm staring me down like that. Mumes meme mugging me. No, I heard $22 million. I was like, oh, he's rich. You listen to pod? 75,000 in episode, bro. You hand us the big check.

My mortgage went up to $22 million mysteriously. You know what? you should text Billy that PFT bought a $22 million house and see if he blogs it. Yeah. We should have bought Michael Jordan's house. I think we can wait that one out and we might get it for free. Yeah.

Okay, good pick. Hank said, said, Hank. Ooh. Boom, boom, boom. Where are you? Hmm Where he fuck learn how to play learning how to play guitar, okay, why can you have no enthusiasm? And then Sky diving okay good picks. I would never do that. I have skydove. It is awesome. You should do it once. No, you should do it. I'm just not something

My hands are sweating right now. What? No, I'm watching out. It'd be a lot One pft Fifty came to my apartment he's stepped outside and was like I'm like went back inside because it was high. Yeah, I didn't. Yeah, I didn't like I make a tack on Hank's ball. See, that's Hank is in such a mood that I told you was a last show. That's not even a fun fact. That's just the best little bit fun. The best part is BFT is he's in such a lash out mood. I didn't know when he said, oh, I was gonna say something. I didn't know about you. I thought he was gonna say, yeah, you skydive once and now you're too fat. Oh, that's true. You could have gone both ways there.

Why would you skydive? Why would you jump out of a great airplane? It was fun. It was very fun. I really want to skydive. It's all the time adrenaline. What I really want to do, but it would take a lot more training

is I really want to get to a point where I can skydive on my own. That's the ultimate rush. Insane. I need that's the ultimate rush. Insane. I need that. Man. No, thank you. All right, Jake.

Good pick, Hank. Way to go. Good job. Good pick. Yeah. This one's a little bit more specific. Okay. Towards a demographic, but homework on a football Sunday.

Ooh. Plan on doing it eventually. Doing it later? Yeah. So that is the procrastination thing you said. I mean, that's the thing. Actually, we actually would make picks that we believe in. Oh, Jake is just, you are AI for my lunch.

You are AI. You are AI. You don't have homework, dude. What are you talking about? I'll give you the things you plan on doing eventually. That's not a good report. Okay. No, like that's not even, well, I'll give Jake a bail out here, it's something that he things you plan on doing eventually. That's not a good idea. You're a pig. No, like that's not even, well, I'll give Jacob bail out here,

it's something that he used to plan on doing later. But you, yeah. But that's not the topic. Like I couldn't pick. I didn't realize it has to be things. Exactly. You're a pig. Yeah, all your picks last week, all your picks.

It's fine. Me and P.S. he couldn't say buy a house. We bought a house. Right. Okay, I didn't realize it was first person. First person. Correct. All summer. Generic. Yeah. You're doing Pander bear.

He's been, he's AI. Hey, the Taco Bell draft was AI. Taco Bell draft, trilogy is draft. Every, every, everything pretty much 90% of your picks. AI. I like this. Now you're getting the lash out. Love it. Yeah.

Hank is spreading the old room. No one is safe right now. All right. I'll skip it. I mean, homework. No, I know you picked it. No, I'm gonna allow it for Jake. You graciously allowed us to take air bud. That's true. That was very nice of them. Yeah. Okay. Go. That's our turn. All right. I think the number 200 list is pretty good. Or yeah, we get. Okay. We'll do number two and then number 10. What about? No, no, time we can't do for the same reason. No, I haven't done them yet. But you've done them before. Yeah. But that's the thing.

Like I don't care if you guys pick something that you've done before. Personally, what about seven? Okay. Yeah. We could probably get that last though. Okay, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're just good talking. That's good talking. We're talking to the right out. Um. All right. Do two and then we'll we'll think. Get a tattoo. Yep. I'm gonna get a tattoo. I'm eventually I will get a tattoo. I'm gonna get a tattoo. I'm gonna get a plaid half sleeve. It's gonna be sick. Nobody's ever had a plaid tattoo before. I'll be the first and it's gonna be awesome. Totally gonna get a tattoo. I'm gonna get a plaid half sleeve. It's gonna be sick. Nobody's ever had a plaid tattoo before. I'll be the first and it's gonna be awesome.

Totally gonna get a tattoo. Gonna get a tattoo. Okay, yeah, we're definitely eventually gonna get a tattoo. For sure. So imagine if I was jacked with a half sleeve tattoo. If he's sick. Combo would be sick. All right, you wanna do 10,

but that's gonna put us in a gray area where it's over, it doesn't matter. No, no, because I can justify. I can justify. Okay, then then you can do it. Taxes. And eventually do taxes. Eventually going to do taxes. That's the same category. No, wrong Jake. Wrong. No, wrong Jake, because I got an extension to October 15. I haven't done my tax. I've not done my tax yet. I'm eventually going to do these taxes. So what if I, what if I, you were in a podcast and go to law school?

Yes, apply. I would count. That's a hypothetical. Then I'm gonna go, then I'm gonna have homework. You're living in dream world. I'm living in reality. I'm talking about things

we're eventually gonna do this year. I still have to do my taxes and I'm gonna do them. Just not. I'm gonna do mine as well. All right. Don't give me that smirk, Jake. I hate that.

No, I just don't have homework. Are you gonna ever have, I'm never gonna have homework again in my life. I mean, you never know, life can be. No, I, no Jake. I never know you. You. I'm gonna work again in my life.

Maybe me. You're gonna have homework again? Who knows? Life's crazy. Life is crazy. But your spirit is on you. But you're saying you plan on it. You plan on it.

You lost school? What? It's not, it might not happen. You, you said you plan on having homework. I're not school? What? It might not happen. You said you plan on having no more. I told you guys, I'm gladly happy to replace. No, it's fine. You lost the plot a long time ago. Okay.

Jake, you're a pick. We're gonna go with having kids. Okay, all right. Yeah, pick. There you go. Get around to it. Yes. Yeah, eventually. Was that Billy's pick as well? No. Okay.

Billy knock it off kids. Not gonna have sex. Okay. Hey, we'll go with Max's. I'll do two and two. Let him cook. This is sad decorating my apartment. Okay. Yeah, I feel like that's a good pick because you do like your apartment always stays in that like half like, hey, sometimes eventually I'm gonna do something with this. You know what I love though? I love the one box that you never unpacked

and it stays stashed in your apartment until you move out again. Yes. You're like, I'm gonna use all this stuff eventually. And then you're like, well, I could just throw this away because I haven't used it in two years. Yes. You're like, no, at the next place, I'm gonna use this. Yes. I moved four times in the past four years and there was multiple times where I didn't touch the box and just, but I still moved it.

Yeah. It's like this box has been there since I packed it up. You never know. Brought it to my other apartment and then I looked at it and I was like, well, I'll just bring it to my next one. And then I was like, well, and then I finally got rid of it, I think.

My last year in New York, but there was a lot of that. I definitely gave up my last year in New York. I was like, you know what? I'm gonna move to Chicago in 12 months. I don't really need to put away my clean clothes. Yeah, no I just gonna put I'm just gonna put him right back in a box later my my last apartment because I moved I lived there for a year New Year moving and it was like there was times I was like this is looks weird because it's not decorated all but also What is the point yes? Yes, and then lastly becoming a millionaire. Oh, okay also what is the point? Yes. Yes. And then lastly, becoming a millionaire. Oh, okay.

Okay. Let's go Hank. Yeah. Wait, that was Max. Good pick, Max. Good pick. That's a grab for Max. Never know.

Eventually. You Hank, you're there. Corporate Hank's gonna get there. I hope so. Yeah. Okay, Jake. Jake's gonna to be like, I'm picking out my Halloween costume.

Go for it, Jake. You got this. I'm rattled. Learning how to ride a bike. Yeah, that's supposed to be a demographic. Our last pick is going to be retiring. Oh, okay. Yeah, no, this is a good, that's a good thing. I, I, I, eventually I wanna retire.

I don't know if I ever will, but I want to. Be nice. If I just retired, I would just end up doing this exact same thing. Yeah, I, I hope that there's maybe like a half retirement that we could do. AI does, we just, we a half retirement that we could do. AI does. We just do Wednesday, we do Friday.

We just do the golf videos. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that would be good retirement. That would be a great retirement. Holy shit. We just do golf and gambling live streams. You think if Hank retired and was just doing golf videos all the time, he would start working as his escape from work

Yeah, yeah, he would he would take a vacation to podcast camp. Yeah, yeah, yeah Okay Should we go with that one though? Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, I mean Eventually, I think we all Would like to do this two girls at once It'd be nice It would be nice. It would be nice eventually, right?

Check it off the list. What? You don't want to do two girls at once? That's an AI pick. That's not an AI pick. I came from my brain. Two girls at once. You know, you don't plan, you're not planning on doing that. Essentially maybe. I don't know. It would be a lot of pressure.

It would be a ton of pressure. I would be a ton of pressure. I would I would completely fold under pressure. Oh my god I just started telling jokes. I would love to do two girls at once. I feel like please leave Yeah, two girls at once for 35 seconds Everybody gets one stroke. I would make a Rick Patino joke and they kick me out of the org I think you don't want to do two girls at once. Of course I do. Yeah, Mr. Positions does Think you don't want to do two girls at once of course I do yeah, mr. Positions does Oh, I can do does not everyone that was an awesome dutch Yeah, I feel bad about myself just give her a back shot gotcha be great

Max gets into an orgy in the two girls like we we want you to be focused. He's like, I'm out. I don't want to do this anymore. Gotcha. Oh, all right. We only have one Mount Rushmore left, guys. One more. Rushmore left is not sad. It's been such an awesome time just hanging out with you guys. Hey, what if you win this and Jake finishes last? So you're gonna have some life. Then it all comes down to Friday. Yeah.

Do you realize that? If you win this, you guys can rig it. What? I'm gonna say, you guys can purposely lose. They're not gonna throw it. Jake, who the fuck do you think you're working with? They're not gonna throw it, given the circumstance. No.

Hey, I'm giving you a word of one. Doesn't matter. They're not going to throw it given the circumstance. No. Hank, I'm giving you the word. That doesn't matter. We're not going to throw it. You understand, and I will never believe you saying that ever again. You know what? Hashtag. Because you have, and you've arted again, we've talked about this at length. This, this whole segment has been completely, completely ruined since you guys. All this is for the good of the show. It's topics show it would be great if Hank had some life going into the last game and On Friday exactly cuz you're like I have my my my probability is zero. I'm not getting my hopes up It doesn't matter. It's over being max from the box Friday. We should do Mount Rushmore pizza topics real. Yes

Yeah. Yeah. Oh man. What, Hank, will you do pizza toppings? No, I thought it did.

Pizza toppings? For real? I thought it did. Hank, you're being a real bitch right now. It's pre-day. Oh, Jesus, why? Oh my god. Again, if I like kill me.

I'm sorry the part of my take universe Aaron Donald DK Maccath. Yeah, Max had he was getting some text of people being like is this serious. Yeah, love it Why don't we do two guys on Shakespeare quicks? It's been a long show. We'll wrap up Hey fellow is my boyfriend

Mm-hmm. I wanna go to the Kentucky Derby. Ireland. Ireland? You haven't done the Kentucky Derby yet? Nope. Though pretty much every other big horse race. Try not.

I'm gonna quit nicotine. Yup. I'm gonna do it by a boat Scoobodife I'd love to scoop it off. I'm gonna learn the rules of craps. Yeah, well buying a boat's opposite of your pick a few weeks ago Yeah, I know but I eventually probably will be We can acknowledge that it's a waste of money. Yeah, oh, I know when I buy it. I'll be like this is a waste of money Max wrote startup podcast, which When I buy it, I'll be like, this is a waste of money. Max wrote startup podcasts, which, whoa, I would love to hear that.

Max, competition, Filly Special. We should green light that. Yeah, learn how to fix a car. But we get to name the podcast. Yeah. Second. Loser Talks.

Second place. Max with Max the Lenty. Okay. Actually, Max should do a podcast, but he should do a solo podcast. Yeah. I'd love to hear that. Max's thoughts unfiltered to the max. Okay, go ahead. My boyfriend is six drafts over the Labor Day weekend. My parents invite us to their beach house for the long weekend And I'm excited to see them. My boyfriend is two drafts each night and says he has to take them

But that I can go have fun with my parents. Can I be annoyed? Also, his team name is Karim Pie and we're 34 years old. Do fantasy team names like that ever end? Thanks guys. Make sure you work until midnight Friday. This is just kind of, it's guy season. Yeah, you can't get in the way of the drafts. I'd say, I'd say four drafts over the course of two days is a lot though. I also think, unless the draft is in person, which is a totally different thing, which is great, if you can get everyone in person, that's awesome. I think weekday drafts are better just because

it gives you a little something to look forward to like on a Tuesday night, like I know my draft, I have a draft Wednesday night, I have a draft next Tuesday night, it's kind of fun, like something extra. What's great if you're at work and you spend all day at work preparing for your draft that night right? So if these are in person, I understand it. You can't get mad if he's doing Internet drafts on a Friday and Saturday. That's a little You can't schedule for Labor Day weekend. You also got to figure out what the yeah, that's that's a problem

He's probably in a group. I'd be cheating on you. He's in a draft with losers. Yeah. That don't have Labor Day plans. Yeah. You got to really drill down and find out which friend group is in which draft, because I bet one of these is with like internet strangers

that he doesn't even know. All right, last one. So I mean, I am that loser now that I'm thinking about it, because I was supposed to go to a lake house on Saturday and I was like, college football. There's a lot of games. I want to be sitting in my basement. My husband asked me to pick a horse right before he placed a bet.

I told him to put $10 on a horse and five minutes later he won $100 on my pick. When I told him he needs to split the winnings with me, he laughed and said, no. He insists I would not have given him half if he lost. Don't you agree? I deserve some compensation as his gambling guru. He brings up a good point. You, he, she wouldn't have given him money if he lost. So that doesn't, this actually reminds me of when we did a, we did a ad deal early bar stool, Bellator and we were had to live tweet the event. And I of course bet every single fight lost every fight last fight of the night.

I went like double or nothing on a favorite like minus like 400 lost that lost like 10 grand. I said to Dave like, Hey, I want to bet this if if we, uh, you know, didn't have to do this ad deal. He's like, okay. But if you had one, would you split the money with barceles? Like got me there. Mm-hmm. So you're right. You should offer to pay him five dollars. Yeah. Be like, I'll pay for my half of the bet. And then he gives you half of the winnings. Fancy bucks. Let's be honest. When you win a bet, especially at a horse race, that $100 is not one money, because you're gonna lose them the next race. It's also, yeah, you're just recouping your loss.

Right, you're gonna lose, like maybe if it was the end of the day, you could make the argument that you get 50 bucks, but you gotta let him play out the whole card. I think you gotta go back and see how much money he lost on the previous races, and then split those losses with him in exchange for the $50 share that you won on this bet.

I don't think that was going to want that. Yeah, probably not. Probably not. You don't want to start digging back into the archives. Yeah, it's going to be in a film, Michelson real quick. Yeah, you don't want that. You don't want that. That is the, whenever I come home from a weekend at the horse track

And it's like there's a couple times I've come home with like a big fat stack and I'm just like look at this Like oh, where's my house like well Overall lifetime if you weren't with me in the losses you're not with me Yeah, Hank can you make a promise to the AWLs? No that on Thursday night show you're gonna have a better a positive attitude try harder I just want a positive attitude. I'm so positive. And try not to be in this box. You know, you guys rigged it.

How do we rig it? You can throw the Thursday and it's over. It doesn't matter. We're not going to, I give you my word, we're not going to throw Thursday. I mean, you know what? I'm going to vote Hank tomorrow. That's one gonna throw Thursday I mean, you know what? I'm gonna vote Hank tomorrow Well, that's one also really can't I mean

There's one more chance there's a chance that we might have to compete hard on if you win this Mount Rushmore and they finished last twice It's a tie We'll say okay, all right numbers 18 three 69 Eight memes you ever got in it? No. I won. You took three for memes? It's been doing it.

It's also that. It's only when the hasn't been picked. Alright. I want to be in the right side of history. They've all picked. Three? Yeah. Then where the fuck is it?

Remember, 26 was picked and I went crazy. Yeah. But I thought that's because three was gone. Three was picked before it was missing. Then three was picked in like June 17 Hey, that's your number They don't matter. Yeah, but people still like it. I don't think so. Yeah, they do are we should we get the original one shipped Sure until yeah, why not? I would love to see Billy try to pack that up and ship it responsibly. I was on the call

I called one of the operations people who was helping with the new studio and the old studio and as I called there, she's like, hey, I'm in your studio arguing with Billy about how he didn't trash it and he was in the back and he's like, I didn't trash it. This is their stuff. No, he specifically was everyone else.

That's the Billy update for today. It was funny. Oh man. Okay, great show, boys. Friday, I think we're doing a fantasy football preview. And you know who that means. So get excited, subscribe to the YouTube. Love you guys. Hank, animal fact, Hank is the saddest animal in the animal kingdom.
