And it's combine week. We're live from Indy in a conference room. It's combine week.

The most magical city in Indiana. Yes. Indianapolis. That's facts. There's magic on these streets. Yes. So we have a combine week. We have news coming out of the, uh tush push is being voted on to be banned led by the Packers an unnamed team has requested that the NFL change the tush push rule that unnamed team is the Green Bay Packers Green Bay Packers are being salty bitches they're being salty about it and for the record I'm I'm against banning the tush push this is the Ravens it's John Harbaugh all over again yeah there's you could stop the tush push You could try to stop it

You could also stop them on first second or third down or you could just try jumping over the line of scrimmage Infinity times in a row to try to stop it keep the tush push, but also allow teams to do that I also feel like the bills in the AFC championship game like there's a pretty good like evidence against banning the touch board. Yeah, because it just doesn't work. The weird part about it is the Bills were the other team besides the Eagles that used that play the most this season. Yeah, and it worked for him until the playoffs until it didn't. And then it didn't work. And now Sean McDermott is like, Yeah, I think I'm in favor of banning the play now. Well, it's just I saw someone be like, how do you stop this? It's like, well, don't let them get to fourth and two, fourth and one. That's a way to stop. How do you stop it

hit the weight room? Yeah. Max, what do you think about people trying to ban the tush push? loser mentality. They're all a bunch of pussies. The Eagles are the best at it. They work on it a lot. They practice it a lot. They have the right guys to do it. I don't know why you would punish a team for just being better at one play than the rest of the league. Well said. Yeah. I mean, they banned the slam dunk when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was thrown it down too much. That's true. So maybe they'll bring it back. I think it's stupid. I think it sets a bad precedent of being like we have to ban. Maybe the only thing I would say is if you would want to ban being able to push players from behind. Because that was the rule for a while. So yeah, but you're talking about just let them do normal quarterback sneaks. But yeah, normal quarterback sneaks. Yeah. The rule for a while was that you weren't allowed to assist a ball carrier. You can have like a lineman or tight end grab somebody and push them forward. Right.

Like the Matt Liner Reggie Bush play. Yeah. That would have been illegal at one point. But then they took that out because they said it was too hard to officiate. I don't think it's that hard to officiate. I don't think so either. If you clearly see it, then you can call it.

But it is. And I think it would actually, I think the Eagles would still be able to do it even without the push. Yeah. I think that their offensive line is that good and Jalen Hurts is that good, that they would still be able to do it. And I push. I think that their offensive line is that good, and Jalen Hurts is that good, that they would still be able to do it. And I'm in a great spot here, because I'm firmly

saying that I'm anti-banning the tush push, but I'm also going to be really, really happy when they do decide to ban it. Do you think they're going to ban it? I think they might. I think they might. They did this last year, too. They do this every year.

You didn't win the Super Bowl last year. Yeah, there's more. Way different. They don't ban nobodies. We also have Matthew Stafford looking for $50 million somewhere. Me too. We all are.

Yeah, Kirk Cousins found $50 million to be a backup. It's true. He's more likely to probably get paid $50 million than any of us, but where's he gonna go? I think the Giants. Why not the Steelers? That'd be fun. Is that Aaron Rodgers? I'm thinking if we're doing quarterback musical chairs this off

season, I think it's gonna be Stafford in New York. I think it's gonna be Aaron Rodgers Los Angeles. I think it's Sam Darnold Los Angeles, Stafford New York, Rodgers. Vikings. Rogers, probably the Steelers are the Titans. I don't know how much you think Mike Tomlin would enjoy I think Mike Tomlin he does like having personalities to juggle on his team. Yeah, at this point, we can say that Mike, he's done a very good job in the past of having some absolute psychos on

his team. Now it's to the point where I think he actually enjoys it. He gets off on it. Yeah, he needs it to get out of bed. It's too bad that the Colts seem like they're done with getting old quarterbacks because that used to be, like they just took a job, like jobs are being taken away all across America. The Colts have done that with old quarterbacks.

Yeah, I feel like that would have been the logical Kirk Cousins swan song out there. It could have been Stafford, Kirk Cousins, or Rodgers. Yeah, so now- They'd be like, come on, come on, Ballard. You know you want to. like that would have been the logical Kirk Cousins swan song. It could have been Stafford Kirk Cousins or Rogers. Yeah. Like, come on, come on, Ballard. You know you want to. You know you want to stop Gap. Do it, dude.

So as it stands right now, Kirk Cousins, they've said that he's not going to be traded or anything. He's going to be a $50 million backup on the Falcons. On the Falcons. Congratulations to Kirk Cousins. What a move. $100 million guaranteed signed last off season. Then they ended up drafting his replacement. Then he got hurt allegedly. Then Pennex just took

his job. That's incredible. $100 million not work. That is that's the American dream. But the Falcons also said that they were never informed of any injury from Kirk Cousins. What do you mean? So after the season was over, Kirk's camp let leak out there. Yeah, I was dealing with a bunch of shoulder, elbow, things like that. The Falcons are like, this is the first we've heard of it. I think it was just that he's old and had an Achilles injury.

He might be old. And it's hard to come. I mean, we're talking about two guys, Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins, who were both old and had an Achilles injuries. And they weren't totally themselves afterwards. Yeah, Kirk, Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins, who were both old and had an Achilles injury. And they weren't totally themselves afterwards. And Kirk, Aaron Rodgers, top five quarterback. That's true, top five quarterback, for sure.

Also, Miles Garrett, the Browns have no plan on trading him, which I feel like they have to say. They just have to go through the motions of saying this, and then someone's gonna make them an offer they can't refuse, and then they'll trade him. It sounds like maybe the Byrdes. Yeah, we also had the the GM for the Ravens said that Justin Tucker allegations are concerning.

I'd agree. They're real. That is concerning. They're waiting for the facts to come out. That's concerning. So if true that he alleged nothing on the Steve Smith ban thing. No, that's not concerning. No, no statement. No, I don't think so. I think they probably were like, listen to pardon my take on Monday. They covered it for 45 minutes. More than enough on it. Yeah, I mean, it in a perverse way. This is probably the best team that the Steve Smith thing could happen to because they've got bigger fish to fry. Yeah, yeah. But he's not going to be the biggest pervert on the team. I mean, Justin Sucker. He's he's not gonna play again, but he's not gonna be the biggest pervert on the team. I mean Justin sucker. He's

He's not gonna play again. Is he? Yes, it's NFL Yeah, when we said he was washed we didn't know that it was a table shower yeah also we had We had Aaron Glenn said players upset over Aaron Rodgers decision What's what's going on their memes? Players are upset that they got rid of Aaron Rodgers. Which players? He wait, Quentin Williams, give a thumbs down emoji on X when word of the team. That is such a 2025 story.

Like, Hey, new coach, can you please address the fact that one of your players did a thumbs down emoji? Yeah He did thumbs down and he he talked to Quinn and Williams and they're gonna keep that conversation in house Okay, right the thumbs down was not in house. The thumbs down got out the thumbs down got out of house. Yeah Sometimes you just tweet thumbs down You don't know what it's about. I don't think you know what the meaning of in-house is. Yeah. That's the most not in-house thumbs down I've ever seen. It was reactionary. Like if it was in-house, he would have posted that to Slack.

Right. Or he would have gone private. Or he would have done it just in a DM to a random person. Or he just would have walked around his house just going like this. Yeah. That's in-house. If he just walked around his house just going like this. Yeah. That's it. Now, if he just walked around his apartment, just being like, and his like wife or girlfriends, like, what are you doing? It's like, can't even talk about it. upset about it. A rod can't even talk about it. I'm just thumbs down. Yeah, it's in house now. Speaking of A-Rod, he might get leagued. What?

You see his half court shot? Yeah, he had a half court shot. It's pretty impressive. Bucked now for 10K for a kid. Yeah. It's pretty awesome. Sign him up. Yeah.

All right, speaking of the league, the association, Max, you are back. I know we talked about it briefly on Monday's show, but new reports came out that Joe and B could undergo a meniscus replacement procedure or procedure where doctors break a bone in the hip to realign the joint and alleviate pressure. He should just retire. Disagree. I think he wants to play. He's competitor. He's gonna do whatever it takes to get out. Which, which would you prefer your star player have a meniscus procedure or that they break a bone in his hip to

alleviate knee pain? That sounds horrible. Yeah, this case sounds better. But who knows, this could be some groundbreaking. We've seen the meniscus surgery before and it's still this earth No, but this sounds like radical radical meniscus. So that's even me Covers on a skateboard. Yeah, he's got he's got to wear some stucy the same sixer who made orbital bone fracture and nav navicular bone fracture common phrases in Philadelphia sports lexicon. He's had two of each.

He had two of each of those? Damn. Might soon add one of these meniscus replacement low dose radiation therapy or even the ominous sounding osteotomy in which doctors break a bone in the hip to realign the joint to alleviate pressure one source called the procedures Radical in light of the mundane injury and surgery that brought and be to this point for some reason what should have been a routine Rehab rehab and routine return to play has gone horribly wrong oof

Correct, I don't know. Breaking a bone to alleviate a different set of pain that you're having sounds. It sounds like radical, radical, radical, or it sounds like something you would do in the 1800s. Like a civil war injury. Oh, you got shot in your, in your pelvis. No worries. We're just going to take a sledgehammer to your foot. That way you won't feel your witch. Let's just break your hip real quick and see if you can survive. You guys aren't doctors. You don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what I'm talking about.

Maybe it'll help. We'll break your hip. If your knee recovers, it means you're a witch and we have to kill you. Yes. Yeah, we're going to break your hip. And if you can still drop 20 and 10, then you're a witch. Yeah.

I don't know what you want me to say. How fit are you feeling, Max? Huh? How fit are you feeling? Yeah, how was the fitness vacation? Fitness vacation was good. Yeah. I'm pretty tired.

Any yard sales? I don't know what that means. It's when you fall and all of your equipment goes everywhere. Oh yeah. And there's just the yard sale. There was at one point I accidentally went down a black, like a, and... Pause.

Okay. A black, I went down a black diamond. I fell almost immediately and then I couldn't get my ski back on because the mount was so steep so I just like went down stomach first like a penguin. Oh yeah. The entire mount. That's a yard sale. Oh yeah.

I love to see that video. I was sledding on my stomach all the way down. And your skis weren't even attached? I was holding them and then I dropped them because I was going so fast and some nice fellow behind me got them for me and brought them down to the bottom of the mountain. How was the snow? It was okay. It was warm.

It was like people were there. People were skiing with their shirts off. Not me. That's the best. It was like 50s. Little slushy. Good powder. Nice.

Yeah, it was fun. Cool. Love that for you. Yeah, no, I had a good time. Your vacation. I feel fit. On non-vacation week. Do you miss vacations?

Hat tip. To take a vacation when we're there. There's a double vacation. I might do that next year. I work when you guys do vacation week You did on what? Would you like a cast we weren't doing? Any shows that's true. That's good. Thank you for service. Good point. Thank you. Thank you. Are you welcome?

Are you worried about oldie at all? Am I what worried about oldie? No, I know I don't Captions he just kept saying new producer Am I what? Worried about Oldie. No, I don't know. Memes fucked me on all the captions. He just kept saying new producer and I had family members reaching out to me asking if I got replaced. Sounds like you're not worried at all. I wasn't worried until Memes just kept saying new producer. Yeah, no, he had the X Factor. Oldie's great.

He's a great character. I want him to be a part of this show very much going forward. I just don't want him to take my job. X Factor though. Yeah, maybe switch him to social. What? Oh yeah, good point. Oh, he could do some memes.

I would love to see Oldie signing memes. I bet he'd be great at it. That's a good point. We should give's giving the account have him sign his name Yeah, let's give them a run through max do you want miles Garrett of course I want miles Garrett, okay How bad do you want them as bad as how a Roseman wants them? That's my answer. I'd rather have the tush push or miles Garrett Miles Garrett, we would just sneak it. Would you go down on another black? Black, I went down to black diamond, I fell.

Would you go down on another black diamond for Miles Garrett? Oh yeah, for sure. Okay. I would, yeah, I would go double. I would go double black diamond. Double black diamond? Oh, PST, you don't ski.

I don't know. So you wouldn't even think about it. I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to do that. Sounds like he wants Miles Garrett more than you. This is what was concerning me about the report It was that the commanders are looking to make a strong offer But if they do the Eagles are set to make an offer that he can't refuse

Ooh, which sounds it sounds like big Dom is like no, I'm gonna leave a horse head in yeah That's big Dom. This is why it's for life This is why I'm terrified of having big Dom in the division because he can make trades like that happen. Yeah. Okay, do we miss any other stories? Anything else going on combine week? Anything important? I don't think so. We got hot seat cool thrown them Ben Johnson, then guys on chicks combine week. memes is getting memes. I think memes is getting

a little extra zesty right now because he knows he's got versini coming up. Yeah, he's fired up. He's getting he's getting his reps in although he did apparently see we're seeing you today and didn't say anything just got swallowed his mic oh no I probably tweeted something yeah I've been told that means saw her made eye contact and then did not say a single word I said hello then I didn't say what did she say oh hey guys hug no? She said, oh, hey, guys. Hug?

No, she gave Max a hug. Memes, when she comes by tomorrow, you should just thumbs down her the whole time. Just keep your thumbs down the whole time. I'm in. Keep it in house. OK, let's kick it to ourselves. Hot Seat Cool Throne, then Bears head coach Ben Johnson,

Why there was another, although I guess maybe they're on the cool throne because you know, everyone's freaking out about planes. Planes are crashing. What's go now with all the planes today at Midway airport in Chicago a Southwest plane was coming down to land it basically got to the ground and then it had to pull back up because there was A private jet like a hundred feet in front of them that if it had landed it would have just went straight into it incursion

Yeah, they did toggle power. Another close call. Took off one round. Fact check. Safer to fly than ever. Source. Fact check. Source.

Reality. Reality. He just said reality. Is there any stats to back? Because last time I checked, we've had one plane land flip over, almost kill the entire flight. Hadn't seen that before. Is there a chance so far any good landing is one that you can walk away from? Great landing.

Is there a chance though, Hank, it's like when you buy a car, and then you see that car everywhere. You are acutely aware of plane near misses. No, now you're seeing them a lot more. That't be that. It's actually, it happened on the way down to Indy. Stephen Che, who is 38 years old and was born yesterday, was enamored by the fact that there was an oversized load car basically behind what was an oversized load on the highway.

He's like, I've never seen that before. Again, I don't know how that's possible. We then saw it three times and had a discussion about Stephen Che's semen load and how it's still okay after the vasectomy. That probably is what's happening here. I don't know how that applies to Stephen Che's cum, but you get what I'm saying.

No, Hank shoots an oversized load anytime he sees a video of a plane almost crash. Yeah. Now it's to the point where Hank almost enjoys the plane crash. You're just looking, you're just seeing it more. And the fact is, Hank, January of 2025, fewer plane incidents than January of 2024. Wow. Source?

How about that? Reality. The source is the documented worldwide incidence of plane crashes plane crashes wait when did that plane crash in DC? I don't recall. I think that was but you are January you are you are seeing more. No, I mean thanks to the things that I've been chilling out harder than ever Have you just living? Yeah, I don't look for these things. They get sent to me. Well. Yeah, I mean I want you to be aware No, I just want look for these things. They get sent to me. Well, yeah, I mean, I want you to be aware. No, I just want to. I just want to live. You know, do you don't want me

to send you any like, no, no, if like 1000 dolphins decide to beach themselves on a remote island, you don't want me to send it. No, I'm hollow. Okay. What about if like a huge flock of birds just flies into the Empire State Building? That's just life, man. Yeah. What about if the Empire State Building. That's just life, man. Yeah. What about if the Empire State Building tweets something and then has to delete it? Live and let live. OK.

All right. I mean, you're the one that put planes on the hot seat. Now you're saying, like, just chill out. Which one is it? What was the first one? No, I mean, I learned from my big bro, big cat. Like, just chill out, man. Nothing matters.

There's nothing we can do about it. We're all along for the man. Nothing matters. Yeah. We're all along for the ride. Nothing matters. Just enjoy while you can, you know. How about a little respect for the pilots of Southwest Air? Choose to be happy. That's a great move on their part.

Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I really should put them on the cool throne. Don't worry, be happy. Kuna Matata. Yep. And then my cool throne is Timothy Chamolais. Oh, okay. He won a SAG award and then I just

liked I like the speech. He gave a good speech after he won a SAG award and he's like, you know, a lot of times it's when you know, athletes and actors they go up there, you know, I just want to thank God and I'm just so blah, blah, blah. He kind of was just like, yeah, I want to be one of the greats. I'm going hard. Well, he hates God. Yeah. He's having a moment. He is. Did he say anything? Did he say who he liked in Mississippi State, Alabama? He did not. That would have been nice. It would have been nice. It would have been nice. But he is, is he the answer for like, he could be the answer because we've had this discussion before, but like, who is like a front of the poster movie star right now? Armie Hammer.

It's Armie Hammer. It's like Tom Cruise. Did you hear about Armie Hammer's movie that he's doing? Yeah. Is he eating people? It's called The Dark Knight. Wait, is he back? Yeah. I thought he was selling real estate in the Bahamas.

No, he's back. He's doing a movie. That's his twin. It's called The Dark Knight. It's a movie about a vigilante superhero kind of guy and it's not related to Batman Army Hammer shout out army hammer Because he basically has proven like when everyone's like I'm getting canceled You should like dude the guy like actively wanted to eat people and he's back. Yeah, it was satire. Yeah, Hank Shaman now No, I'm not. I'm actually doing the opposite. I'm literally doing the opposite. I'm like, dude, if he can do it, anyone can.

My favorite fact about Armie Hammer, it weirds me out every time I relearn this one. His grandfather was the CEO of Armand Hammer. But his grandfather's name was Armand Hammer. He was the CEO of Armand Hammer, but he wasn't the founder of Armand Hammer. So his name was Armand Hammer. The company Armand Hammer came out and everybody was like, dude, you should buy this company

because it's your name. And then he ended up buying the company. That's sick. So he is kind of the heir to the Armand Hammer franchise, but they didn't find it. Wow. I had a fun fact that I forgot. I think I knew it, but that Tony Hawk's grandson is also Kurt Cobain's grandson. Yeah. That's pretty cool. He posted something about it, but that's the coolest kid that's ever been created. His name Mike? I don't know what his name is. Mike Hawk? Mike Hawk, yeah. That's his name. What is his name? What are you looking at? Max loves that one. You pervert. He loved it.

Well, Max is still fucked up from his fitness vacation. He is. Alright, sorry I'm not allowed to laugh. No, no, it's okay. I like it. We got a little hungover Max from the fitness vacation. Maybe we can do a little remix of the outro song with some John Summit make you feel like you're still on vacay yeah Summit crushed it dude how many times you do this on your vacation Max a whole lot of that yeah mostly that that was your big thing move what are you looking up Hank I'm reading about the Hammer family the grandfather was accused of murder in 1955 oh okay but did he eat the body I don't it? The grandfather was accused of murder in 1955. Oh, okay. But did he eat the body? I don't know, but he was separately accused of sexual abuse by his daughter.

Yikes. Okay, alright. Cool. That's some light stuff. Alright, PFT. My hot seat is Bonnie Blue. She is a liar. She lied to us.

No. She's not actually pregnant. You mean Bonnie Blue who fucked a thousand dudes? Fake pregnancy. What? You think you know somebody. But is at least Lily pregnant? Still unclear about that one. Okay. I'm going to guess probably not. They both claim pregnancy? Yeah. I think one of them is pregnant. It's like Magic and Bird. I think it was, I think her friend got pregnant and then she did like the really shitty friend move and be like, oh, I'm pregnant too. Well, what she claims she did was she said that she, she said she was pregnant to get more money

on her OnlyFans account. And then she used that money to pay for her friend's fertility treatment, IVF, cause the price of eggs going way up. So there is a pregnancy. There, someone is About to be pregnant. Got it. And I think the other girl Lily. Yeah, I think she she might be pregnant But now since it's like a boy who cried wolf situation

So now since but she only fucked a hundred guys, right? Yeah, I think so. So probably not right Elon should really lean into it and just put a put a rocket baby in in Bonnie blue I agree that I mean that would be if he if people are gonna just trash him might as well Just go all the way. Yeah, she's being like boom Rocket baby with the thousand chick guy agree thousand dude guy What do you for our listeners? I mean, I'm Sam really good with this stuff, but IVF Yeah Is fertility stuff is fertility? I have babies if you can't have inter vitro fertilization hmm you got it yeah yeah you know i know they used to call test tube babies

you know that yeah it makes sense it's where they take you you like nut into a bottle and then the girl nuts into a bottle and then you mix girl you stir them around girl they get the little whisk thing with eggs they whisk it you froth it maybe gets and then and then you have to water it and then put it in sunlight and then boom baby it's pretty cool but yeah so Bonnie blue liar yeah couldn't well I guess cool thrown Paul Bissonnette yeah he can still munch that bin yeah although I think guess cool thrown Paul Bissonnette. Yeah, he can still munch that bin. Yeah. Although I think maybe hot seat Paul Bissonnette because there was a chance he was going to maybe be a father.

He would have been the dad who stepped up. Yeah, exactly. All right. My cool thrown is Gronk. Yes. Hank, did you read this? I did. So there was a report today amongst the Denver media that Rob Gronkowski is considering a return to the NFL and That he would like to potentially play for the Denver Broncos Wow Did you real no zero point zero the the report from some random account it was the

Like facts that were going off of was that Gronk worked with Sean Payton last year Or on Fox the year before mm-hmm, and he likes bonex Okay, well, I think there was a little bit more to it than that Hank Was to tell why would that report just come out they they've worked together way in the past It's there more that I missed league sources tell me four times Super Bowl champion Zafran Kowski is considering returns to the NFL He worked with Sean Payne and Fox and I'm told he loves Denver you left that part out So you were being you were trying to get his eyes that he loves Denver also which there's no way that's true

You let us they lost very conveniently left out two major parts of the support one. He loves Denver This guy's holes. That's the guy was One, he loves Denver. This guy's told. That's definitely false. A guy was told that he loves Denver. That's definitely false. And also, two of his brothers, Dan and Chris, had short stints to the team. Oh, there you go.

So there's clearly history there. There's a big pattern there. No, Dan was on the team for like a year. I don't even think Chris was on the team for a full year. But yeah, loves Denver. Well, denversports.com is reporting. Maybe a couple years Dan was on the team. I do like the idea of Gronk retiring and then being like man my body feels

good and then just keep coming back yeah he's like 60 he's also like the ultimate like responsible with his money guy never spent any of his playing money only spends his sponsorship money has a trillion sponsors like he does not need the money no there's football no reason reason. No, he doesn't. He loves Denver. He loves Denver. You're forgetting the Denver. I did. I was. I forgot. I forgot about how would he possibly live in Denver if he wasn't playing for the Broncos? There's no way you can do it. If they're looking to bring on a guy that hasn't played in the NFL as a tight end, I feel like Jokic would be a damn good tight end.

But does he love Denver? I don't think he loves Denver. I don't think he loves Denver. And his brothers, I don't think his brothers ever played for the Broncos. Yeah. Yeah. You're pretending like this is fake when,

what was the last line again? Well, the last line was that his brothers both played for the Broncos. Oh, but what was the line before that? He worked with Sean Payton at Fox, and I'm told he loves Denver and quarterback bone X that was yeah, he loves Denver dude He's gonna be a Bronco. There's no other way for him to do this then be a bronco. I think I think it could happen Yeah, all right. My hot seat is also baby Gronk has committed to Georgia. Oh

He said he will commit to Georgia. I hate that kid. Purr bit no offense. Baby Georgia. Yes, I got your offer. But is there any baddies in Georgia? Oh, any baddies? You found a body. Oh, side hug and he hit her with a side hug too. Damn. So he got the offer. He's committing to Georgia Do you think baby Gronk absolutely hates? Big justice in the Rizzler cuz like I feel like that was you can you can point to where break baby Gronk went down

Maybe it was actually when baby digs showed up. Yeah, he can lock down baby Gronk What would you say? Did you call baby Gronk did he? I called you did he? Why cuz you were just breaking down him finding a body he's like 12 years old no he said I don't know daddy he said there are no baddies that go to Georgia then I said that's even so then I misspoke and said body instead of baddie okay you you know what hey you're on an all-time hate streak right now he's just I'm just a streak I speak my mind I don't know what you want me to do. You're clearly rattled by the fact that Gronk loves Denver.

Yeah. And it's not, it's nothing against baby Gronk himself. It's obviously his family, but that is the weirdest internet storyline that exists, I think. Not, not the Costco guys. I came around on them. Okay, good. I came around on them. You're on the right side of history. Yeah. Okay, good. I came around on the right side of history Yeah, yeah max it was honestly when they came to the office. He was funny And I was just like I was like oh yeah, and Jerry wants to fuck their mom. I was talking a lot of shit Oh, you he's like oh doom. I just like it was so Jerry's talking me into Mama Justice. Oh, yeah

He's shown me enough in Stockholm syndrome. Yeah, just as has got it Yeah, have you guys seen the the newest child stars on the internet? No. The Maryland Foodie Boys? Oh, yes. I love those guys. I've been so close to them. I've got PFT.

Awesome. We actually are like, we shouldn't prop these guys up because they're going to take our job. It's a bunch of 12-year-olds who have a food podcast, but they haven't tried any food because they're 12. So they did a pizza topping discussion and they all were like I usually just like cheese but I guess maybe pepperoni. Put that clip in here. Right what's your favorite topping on a pizza? I'm just a if I had to choose it'd probably

be like pepperoni but I'm not a big I'm not a big I'm just a regular cheese guy. Yeah, I just do cheese I don't I don't do I just do cheese. I don't really like pepperoni. It's a weird taste I'll do pepperoni but same thing like yeah, a lot of people are big pepperoni fans. I think meat lovers do have meat lovers cook I'm not a big fan of it. I'm not a big fan of like the sausage in general If they're had meat lovers none of none of them likes pepperoni it was It was too spicy for them, but they have a food podcast I love that they had a long discussion about what actually actually are dry rub wings I Want to see the episode where they get introduced to ranch on pizza. It's so awesome Yeah, one of the kids said that he hasn't had a different lunch

since kindergarten. I assume he's probably in sixth grade, but he just, it was peanut butter and jelly, yogurt, chips, fruit, and a juice box. He's had the same lunch every single day, but he has a food pie. And they're just like, yeah, let's talk about this today. It's like, has anyone tried it? No. What is this? Strawberry jelly? Oh yeah, we got a clip in for the people. The pizza one had me dying. They're just going around being like, yeah, I'm kind of just cheese. All right. My hot seat is anyone who hates Taylor Swift, not us. We love Taylor Swift. We're Swifties because Travis Kelsey is not retiring. Okay. So his GM said that he was pumped for him to be back. Okay. That was a fun little thing. So is that confirmed or is that just the GM says that he's pumped? The

GM said he was pumped. I feel like Chiefs GM. Travis Kelsey should always be pumped. Chief GM expects fired up Kelsey to play in 25. Okay. Fired up. How we left the end of the season is that he was fired up. I think we left it as he'd be back and we're excited to get him back and get him going. So cool throne is the Swifties. Yeah, there's I also saw a story in unconfirmed report that she's got a beef with Blake Lively going right now. Oh, is that true? Hank, Hank, explain the Blake Lively Ryan Reynolds thing to me in three sentences Okay, Blake Lively

Diva gets in fight with director and Forces her power and uses Ryan Reynolds to shape a narrative. Oh Movie flops then she goes back and blames the director. Oh, no, it was her that was kind of doing everything the whole time. So we're we're about we're about and then now everything is getting public and about only rose about Donnie is is just releasing everything. He just started a website and he's just leaking every single conversation and every single piece of evidence he has. I think he's also a little bit of a diva like that's kind of they're just doing

PR got it Get some articles going it sounds like this type of stuff happens all the time on basically any movie I just I just I think Ryan Reynolds is the biggest loser out of the whole thing so I've been a good husband Yeah, but he just he was you know a beloved person. I feel like and he's kind of looking a little scum I haven't changed my opinion on him. He's a wife guy. I didn't have an opinion. None.

I don't really have, no, I don't watch some Marvel movies. I enjoyed- Was he in Waiting? I enjoyed Van Wilder. Yeah, that was funny. I enjoyed, yeah, Van Wilder, Waiting, two great films. I liked the Welcome to Wrexham thing. Yeah, that's cool. That's one of those stories that I know it exists,

but I never read anything, and then it popped up again with the SNL 50 when everyone's like how could he make this joke? Well, so they're suing and in the lawsuit there's Blake Lively is saying like she's caused emotional damage by everything that's going on So that's like in the law you can't so then to go to SNL Yeah, where his wife who he left for who? Scarlett Johansson, who was married to Colin Jost. So he left Scarlett Johansson to start dating Blake Lively because they were co-stars in a movie together, classic scumbag move. And then to show up at SNL 50 and then make a joke about it

when in the lawsuit they're saying she's so emotionally damaged that this is happening like it kind of Who you know playing both sides there? But is there any truth the fact that there's a rift between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift now? I think Taylor Swift. I don't know. I don't know about that. That's that's Swifty stuff that I'm not fully caught up on but Blake Lively was what was in Taylor's box forever. Yeah, all this stuff happened Yeah, she was in no box to be found and nowhere to be found with Taylor. So so I think that's just Swift.

He's speculating Ryan Reynolds went from Scar Joe to Blake Lively. Yeah, fuck that guy. He's he's had a good time. Damn. Yeah. I respect. Yeah. Fuck. Take my hat off. Yeah. Uh, all right. My cool thrown is actually all of us. Nice, because Sidney Sweeney is not getting married

as of right now. Good for us. I thought you were just gonna say cause we're getting the phone. Oh, the Woge phone? Listen, I'm gonna try to buy a Woge phone for our good friend Mark Titus cause he loves Woge.

For people who didn't see it, Woge is auctioning off his old phones for St. Bonnie's NIL and if you're like why would I want his old phone well let me pull it up real quick and give you a little explanation for why you'd want it so this is one of the phones you could buy from Woj. How about this Hank would you like this one? iPhone used to break Paul George Kauai Leonard to the Clippers. Wode used this phone iPhone XR from 2018 to 2019 to discover and announce major NBA news including Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving teaming up in Brooklyn, Anthony Davis joining LeBron James in Los Angeles, and Paul George and Kauai Leonard both landing

with the Clippers just moments apart around 2 a.m. That's pretty cool. It's more than just a phone. It's a piece of history. That is a huge phone iPhone used to break NBA suspending season for COVID. That one's a hell of a phone. I don't like that phone. I actually did text Woj and I was like, do you have any other phones that we could buy black market? And he's like, he's going to look for us. Okay. Cause I would like a woad phone. I mean, that brings up a good point. What phones historically would you like to purchase? I think the Brett far phone. Yeah. The Brett farm phone would be good. Joe horn, Joe horn phone from underneath the,

uh, the uprights in the insomber, the flake gate phone. That's how that thing's destroyed. I would like to buy the Diana Rossini reporting on Max's farts and two sodas phone. We could actually probably make that happen. That might still be good. I want that phone. That might be an active phone.

Yeah, it might be. Bad. I'd like the phone where, and we're gonna, on Friday we'll have Schefter on it. I would love the phone where the Dez tape is stored. That would be nice. But yeah, we should maybe sell some of our... Something like that makes me wish we'd like, imagine if we just like had archived all of

our shit instead of just throwing it away or like doing the pile donations. This big cat phone has over $5 million lost in gambling. You are really going to want this one. Whose job hypothetically would have been to archive all the part of my take stuff That would have been you How's the bunk list going this year? Let's just pull it up because the people love it. Yeah, they do you you just aren't doing it I think I I maybe just got way less horny this year way less horn turn 40

Lost my mojo is is me saying that we all got a shot with Sydney Sweeney. I'm back. I'm back Cuz we all got a shot with Sidney Sweeney on the play list? I'm back. Because we all got a shot with Sidney Sweeney. Mm-hmm. This is confusing. Not 0% chance. I can see it from here. I feel it. It is not a substantial list.

Oh, no. No? There's one entry. There's one entry. OK, Hank, give us an issue box list right now. It's not completed. PMT, stats, and info, we're going to have to have you help out Hank and maybe get some bonk lists going for him. No, Pete. I mean, there hasn't been much. What do you mean? We do the bonk list in the middle of summer. So it's been six months.

Do we even do it last year? I think we had the same issue and then you know, I had her from last year. I had one from last year. Okay, so we did do it last year. We didn't do it on the show. All right, so we have two years. Maybe. We definitely did it on the show. PFT is Mike Pence. Assume Max was going to say sexual things to female co-workers when?

Oh, when you wouldn't go on the bachelorette party. Oh, yeah. No, that's not it. No. You wanted me to... Oh, PFT is Mike Pence. Like you assume that if Max is talking to yeah, yeah, workers, yeah, you wanted me after the Eagles fan was disrespectful to the the women you wanted me to go up to the women of Barstool and say

something nice. Oh, yeah. But respectful. But you just assumed everything was going to be sexual. No, say something nice. But yeah, that's right.

Can I start with the first question for you first? Yeah. Okay. All right. Super Bowl scenario. Okay, by the way, I watched an AI thing where they simulated the next 10 years of the Bears

with Ben Johnson and Cale Williams. We won two Super Bowls. I like that. Yeah, pretty good. Okay, scenario, Super Bowl, Chicago Bears versus New England Patriots. Oh, Bears. Who are you rooting for? Bears, Bears, Bears.

You are? Bears all day. Okay. Bears, Bears. We got that one out of the way. Bears, yes. All right, my first question is a very important question, very important question. Uh, cat or dog guy dog. Yes. Good answer. Good answer. Thank God. All right. That's the end of the interview. That's all I needed. There was another coach that we had on there might have been another coach that said, uh, not only cats, but multiple cats. Yeah. That should have been red flag. Who was that? I don't know, forget the guy's name. Might have been the coach before you for the Bears.

All right, so you're a dog guy. Do you have a dog? I do not have a dog. Okay, but you love dogs. I like dogs. I like dogs. Okay, that, I should add. No, yeah, I love dogs.

You should end the interview right where we end it. So you don't own a dog. Are you an aspiring dog owner? Nope. Okay. But you love dogs. You appreciate their work. I don't have time for pets, guys. Oh, that's fair, that's fair. Football is life. Okay. Okay. But you love that you appreciate their work. I don't have time for pets guys. Oh, that's

good. Yeah, football. Football is like football is like so I was actually I was a little bit worried that you were not going to show up today because you love canceling interviews at the last second. Is that true? Oh, that was a harder question. Hard question. Question. Question. I was expressing my deep fears question. Hard question. Hard question. Hard question. Hard question. Hard question.

Hard question. Hard question. Hard question. Hard question. Hard question. Hard question. Hard question. Hard question. All right, so you've been the Bears head coach for over a month now. Has it kind of settled in that you are a head coach in the NFL? It's pretty damn cool.

Has it started to be like, whoa, I'm actually running this organization? Yeah, yeah. I think it's... Listen, it's been everything I wanted it to be. I know that. It's been five weeks and a lot of work and getting the coaching staff together, getting schedules in place, and it's a lot going on. So I haven't had a chance to reflect yet

or anything like that, but no, it's exactly what I wanted. I love that. I love that. Would you say you're an offensive guru, a whiz kid or a QB whisperer? I'd say a damn good football coach. Oh, I like that. Cause my next question was gonna be like,

which one of those is the best leader of men? And does any of this shit matter? No. Yeah. Listen. Yeah. None of those terms matter. I hate all those terms, actually. I agree. I want to be a damn good football. I want to be I want to be remembered as Andy Reed or Belichick. Like, that's that's what I aspire to be. I like that a lot. You seem like a like an intense guy, somebody who know

very clear about your intentions for everything. When did you know that you wanted to be a head football coach? I think it's been every step along the way, that's when you start looking at the next step. And so when I was, when I got, when Dan Campbell promoted me to tight ends coach, there was a point I was like, man, I could, I love this job.

I could do this for the next 20 years. This is great. But then eventually you're like, well, I could, I love this job. I could do this for the next 20 years. This is great. But then eventually you're like, well, I would love to call plays too at some point. And so, well, you get the opportunity to do that. And then once you're calling plays for a little bit, you're like, oh, well, there's another, there's another ladder to climb here.

So yeah, it, over the last, call it three years, that's where it really came, came to shape. I can't tell you, I got into this business to be a head coach that that really wasn't wasn't the intent. The intent was to be around some really good people. And I love the game. I love the sport and everything that comes out from it. And so it's just been a natural progression. And, and it's really the next step.

I heard that somewhere along the line you were you're writing code. Yeah, is that true? It was a long time ago, like in a football capacity. Yeah, to a degree. What does that mean? You were watching watching film figuring out like ways to arrange data or what was that? Yeah, so it's it was a way of taking what was ever already inputted into the system and organizing it a different way. So listen, it's not fun or sexy to talk about. I don't think we need that.

That's pretty cool. That's a, it's an interesting ability that you have. Cause if you were to go back 20 years, how many football coaches have ever written code trying to organize our systems? It's probably 0%. Probably not many. Yeah. It's probably not. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's pretty cool. Part of your past. I'm sure that there's, I mean, getting to this point where you're a head coach, the NFL is an incredible accomplishment. I know you have a lot more things you wanna accomplish, but like being a code writer, I can't imagine that's, like PFT said, there's probably not a lot of guys

who've coached the NFL who did that. That's pretty damn cool. Yeah, if you think so. Yeah, I do. I think it's cool. I'm counting it as cool. So I love Caleb Williams. What do you see in Caleb Williams and gets you excited about coaching Cale Williams?

I would say what stands out, which is different than where I came from, would be the ability to improvise the creation when things break down, extend plays, throw on the move outside of the pocket. He's a dynamic athlete. He's got all the intangibles, I believe, that the great quarterbacks have. He wants to be great. He wants to be coached. That was important as well. So I'm still getting to know him, but I really can't wait to get to work with him. Yeah. Yeah. One thing that I really love about your coaching style is all the downfield laterals that you

do. You like those? I love them. So we've been talking about that on this show. I think every single head coach that we've interviewed, I've been telling them like more downfield laterals, there's ability to break open big plays. By the way that you know, defenses are coached on how to tackle swarm to the ball opens up gaps. You use that as much as anybody in the NFL in your offense.

Is that something that you've like grown looking at the percentages and done all the analytics and said you have the ability to make bigger plays? How did that become a key part of your playbook? Let me start. The head coaches you did talk to, what did they say? Were they gonna? They would kinda laugh and they'd say, well no, they would laugh and they'd say,

yeah, but you also have a high risk of turning the ball over. Oh, come on. That's that's baloney. That's what they said about the triple option. Yeah. When that came to light, right. And so listen, it was last year, we're watching self scout as a staff and there was a certain concept we had ran a number of times a year before. And it was like, well, what if we did that? You see the same reaction from the defense. It didn't matter what coverage they were in the same reaction. What if we just sent another You see the same reaction from the defense. Didn't matter what coverage they were in, the same reaction. What if we just sent another player going the other way and we threw the ball to them?

And so that's really how that came to light. We did probably what, four or five of them this year in Detroit and they ended up being pretty darn good plays. But you gotta have the right players too. It was St. Brown. So you get the ball of St. Brown, he's gonna make sure he's doing the right thing with it. Yeah.

He's a dog. You have to coach it. You have to have guys that are ready for it, guys that are ready to pitch it. And if you watch rugby, there are people that are very capable of, while they're getting hit, offload the ball. Boom, break it for a touchdown.

Well, you see Kansas City do it. But that's a little bit more ad lib, I feel like. Whereas we were a little bit more detailed about the relationship. But like I said, the triple option, I'm sure when that came came out years ago, everyone what the hell is this thing? And you know, I feel like this is just our version of the triple modern day triple option if you will. How deep is your bag? It's deep, right? Oh, it's deep. It's deep. All right, so settle this debate though, because every time it would happen to you where you guys would run a trick play,

even specifically the one you ran against the Bears where Jared pretended to fumble and then hit that touchdown pass. And everyone's like, why would you run that in the regular season? I've always thought you're just giving the other, the defense you're gonna play down the season another look they have to be ready for.

So if Jared just, if he trips even a little bit, they're like, oh shit, this is another trick play. Is that kind of how you look at trick plays? Like there's no, hey, we're trying to hold something back because we're just making it even harder for them to game plan for us. You don't know when they're going to be good again. Right.

Because they're really predicated on the defense you're playing that week. And so if you're going to invest the time and the energy to install it and practiceicated on the defense you're playing that week. And so if you're gonna invest the time and the energy to install it and practice it on the field, then why wait what could be another four weeks before you actually get a chance to run it? You might as well capitalize on that opportunity right now. And not to mention there's a million plays you can run.

There's a million plays and we've only scratched the surface of what we're capable of doing right now. And so yeah, we'll scratch one of those million off the list and okay, we got a bunch of them left. Let's go on to the next one. That's a deep back. Do you ever find yourself like maybe even when you're sleeping or just like, you know, driving and something pops in your head, you're like, oh, found another.

Yeah, yeah. It happens. The best times are in the shower. That's where you go. Yeah. You got nothing else to do, but your mind's on football in the shower. That's where the best ideas pop up. Ben Johnson is beating you in from the shower.

I like that. I like that. I haven't heard that one before. Do you have an overall football philosophy? Yeah, and this stems from John Shoop, who actually coordinated it in Chicago early 2000s. He was a coordinator when I was a senior at North Carolina. Caleb Presley knows him very well.

And he used to say, yeah, we want the same things to look different and different things to look the same. And so really that's the starting premise for offensive football. That's what it was since I took over as a play caller. I like that way, the same things look different. We're not smart, so we gotta break that down the same things look different. We're not smart. Different things to break the same.

Same things look different. So you want when you're doing different things, you want people to be like, oh, they're just running their vanilla offense. I think I'm gonna dumb it down. It's kind of like, like a delivery of like a fastball and a change up come from the same arm slot. That's right.

Okay. That's right. I got it now. That's right. I think. That's right. How important is the running back for you? Very important I think. Yeah. I think. That's right. How important is the running back for you? Very important. Yeah.

Yeah. You know, was very fortunate to be around some good ones over my career. And I think the best ones, what they do is they elevate the players around them. And so really they've been the tone setters, the best offenses I've been a part of, the best teams I've been on,

that running back position's really been vital in terms of getting the game going. When things are going in a lull, which will happen from time to time, get it in his hands and he'll pick us back up again. And so, no, the running back position's huge. Okay. So like if there was a great running back that was around in the draft, you'd think, man, that guy would be important. Certainly. Yeah. That's a good answer. guy would be important. Certainly. Yeah, I would think. That's a good answer. I would think that way too.

That's a good answer. I like that you've already kind of, you're very comfortable doing the, I know that I'm getting too close to something and I can't give away too much information. So I'm gonna sit here and smile and let you guys figure it out. You're beyond your years on that.

When you were working with Coach Dan Campbell in Detroit, one thing that we love about Coach Campbell is we think that he's actually very, very smart. He's a super smart guy. And sometimes he likes he likes to toss a little red meat out to the media to get them talking about a lion on the sidelines instead of, you know, trying to actually figure out what he's up to in the games. But he's I think he's an underrated intelligent coach. He knew exactly when to go for it on fourth down according to actual statistics. It wasn't like sometimes it might have been overall motto of we're going to

be aggressive, but it was all backed up by math on that. Was that like going into every game? Did you know the exact scenarios where you had to be prepared to go for on fourth down? And if so, did you stay with that plan? Or were there times where you had to dev prepared to go for on fourth down and if so, did you stay with that plan or were there times where you had to deviate from the plan? No, you're right. He's super intelligent. Yeah.

Yeah. And I've learned a ton from him. Each week was its own entity though. And so it wasn't like you went into the season saying, hey, every fourth and two, we're always going to go for it. That was not the case. It just depended on the week, the opponent, how aggressive they were, the weather. There's all kinds of factors that come into play.

And so going into the game, yeah, he would have shared that information with me of, man, once we hit midfield, if you can make it fourth and three or less, then you're gonna have a green light. And then over the course of the game, once we hit that range, he would be in my headset and tell him, hey, you got four downs here, which would

tell me, oh, I just got to make this fourth and three or less. Right. Right. And so what that allowed me to do as a play caller was we ran the ball a shit ton on third down, you know, to make it into those manageable situations and a lot of those runs, we ended converting anyways because that's that's actually the best

Time to run the ball. Yeah, it was I think that was his whole grand scheme. Mm-hmm You know, he's a there's a lot of yeah, it's behind it Yeah, we always like we're dumb fans and I think most fans are a little dumb in this way where we're like Oh, he's going for fourth down again. But it felt like for the Lions specifically, you guys were you knew you were going to fourth down way before that. You know what I mean? You knew that that drive like, hey, this is going to be a drive where like you said, fourth and three. So it's not a surprise to anyone on the

field. You're planning for that and you're you're calling plays, you know, three, four plays ahead. Yeah. And that was the play style there too. So the players knew it. The players knew exactly what we were getting into, not only on offense, but also on defense. They knew, well, there's a chance that we're not gonna convert,

and now they're gonna have to defend a short field or something like that. Right. You know, the buy-in is so important to any team that you're a part of, and fortunately there in Detroit, there's a lot of player buy-in. Was there ever a time where Dan Campbell,

on the headset, he was just like, "'No, Penn, that's too crazy. "'We can't do that.'" No, I don't think so. I think he's on board with golf. He let you let it rip. Yeah, absolutely. That's awesome.

I love that because your trick plays are very fun to watch. And they're like, back to that Jared Goff one, that was an insult play. We can just say it right now. That was an insult play to have a fake fall down and score a touchdown, but it was damn cool. And I'd just be like, damn, that was pretty damn cool. I appreciate it.

Yeah, yeah. It made it come to life. Was it on Thanksgiving or it might've been the other time you guys played the bears where you just had Peney Sewell just stiff arm like four guys. Yeah, that was thanks. Was he was he planning on throwing that ball or was designed just have him run over as many bears as possible. In hindsight, it should have been that yeah, because that was fun.

But no, he threw the ball probably half a dozen times the previous three weeks in practice. dimes every single time. Oh, wow. dimes every single time put it right on the money on you're talking about 330 pounds running probably 15 miles an hour to his right and throwing it right on the money. Yeah. I don't know if I've seen a more athletic movement. Yeah, crazy. Not not it has nothing to do with Thanksgiving. But how are you with timeouts? I Like to call them. Okay, but you know when to call them. Yeah, okay

Do you say you like 30 seconds left kind of scrambling? You got a time out of your pocket? Maybe call it if you need it you call it. Okay. All right, that's good I got another coaching scenario for it at the end of a game Let's say you guys have a lead. I think I might be a two point lead, maybe three point lead. The opponent has the ball around the 45 yard line. What 45 yard line? Minus 45. And there's four seconds left. There's two schools of thought on how to defend it.

One, you use 11 guys to play defense against the Hail Mary. And the other is you have one of your players flip off somebody in the crowd on the Hail Mary. So I know you're an offensive guy so maybe this hasn't occurred to you. What would you you said I don't need to you don't know what I'm going to speak on his behalf. He doesn't have to answer this. Okay. That's very fair. It's just the meagre loading worked out well for Washington. Yes it did. And I think it's worked out well. Yeah, that's true. Everyone involved sliding doors. We got to interview Caleb on the podcast back in August of last year,

and I asked him this question. I'm curious to know your answer to it as well. But if there was a button that you could press, and if you press the button, the Bears would win 10 Super Bowls, but one random Bears fan would die. Would you press that button? I already gave up my life. So as long as they build a statue being like he died for 10 Super one random Bears fan would die, would you press that button? I already gave up my life. So as long as they build a statue being like he died for 10. Can I just give a body part instead? Yeah, pink. Yeah, which body part would you say? I've got the three kids. My wife is already telling me what to do next. I guess we can go. Yeah, testicles.

You didn't have to do both of them. You could have just swum like one's fine. Just one. There you go. Give us both. All right, I got a tough question for you. Would you rather have five Rolls Royce Specters, a beachfront house in Miami or a hundred foot boat? I guess the beachfront house Miami.

Okay, the correct answer was all of them because you make $13 million a year. Says who? correct answer was all of them because you make 13 million Says who you can afford all allegedly allegedly allegedly. Yeah, you can afford all those that's pretty cool, right? That's cool Here's a question from a friend of a mutual friend of ours how much you squat Oh, I Don't know where this question's going. I asked Jared if he had any questions. He was asking. That was Jared Goff's question.

This was Jared Goff's question. How much do you squat? So I don't know if you could say none or. You know, I go ass to ankles. Okay. And so I probably could get 405 right now. Whoa. That's pretty good.

That's, you don't look like a guy. Like that's 405. What do I look like? I don't know. I didn't know where the answer was gonna go.. That's pretty good. That's, you don't look like a guy like that's. What do I look like? I don't know. I didn't know where the answer was going to go. Four or five is pretty insane. You look like you're built like a steel trap. Oh, thank you.

Do you squat a lot? Yeah, once a week. Okay. Yeah. Four or five is legit. Damn. Do you get in the weight room with the guys? No, no, but they've seen me.

They've seen me occasionally. Yeah, you gotta let them see you. Yeah, see you just every now and then. Listen, I'm no Campbell or Vable. I can tell you that right now. Yeah, I they've seen me. They've seen me occasionally. You gotta let them see. Yeah, see it just just every listen. I'm no Campbell or variable. I can tell you that right now. Yeah, I mean, there's those guys are Dan Campbell's. Yeah, some works out of the shower. You're thinking of play. It's actually perfect microcosm. Really? You're drawing something up in the steam on the glass

door. He's over there bang out some push. There's there's levels to this. Yeah. Um, is there a chance that Rome doomsday is going to be in the slot this year? Oh, yeah. Okay, around all over the place. I like that. Uh huh. multitudes Oh, yeah. Yeah. Get multiple same things looking differently different things looking the same. I love I've got a serious question. So you went back to Detroit a couple times when you had offers to be a head coach elsewhere.

You want to make sure that you were ready, you were committed to the team. I thought like, actually probably a smart move. You're not ready to go until you're ready to go. And then the Bears position opens up. Now you go to the Bears and you have to play the Lions twice a year. Did that influence your decision one way or the other?

No, listen, I think when you go from coordinator to head coach, you're looking for a great situation. And that listen, I think when you go from coordinator to head coach, you're looking for a great situation. And that's what I felt like Chicago had to offer. I felt really strongly about the ownership, George McCasky, President Kevin Warren, Ryan Poles, obviously I felt really strongly about that setup. And I felt like we could win not only in the near future,

but longterm as well. But just as a consequence, it ended up being in the division. Is it ideal? Probably not, because I have a lot of love and respect for those guys that I just came from. But it'll make a couple Sundays each year a little bit more fun. Yeah, it will.

Yeah. In terms of play calling, you're going to obviously call plays, but you're also going to be the head coach. Have you, like, how does that work? Is that, are you not worried about it, but it's obviously a difference because you're now worried about the whole team, but also calling the plays. Have you talked to anyone who does that?

I know Sean McVeigh still does that, some other guys. Have you talked to anyone who does that and like tried to figure out, all right, this is what it's gonna look like, this is how it's gonna be different? Yeah, I experienced it when I was in Miami. Gase was the head coach and he was calling it. And listen, what I've done, what I've tried to do,

at least when bringing all these guys together, is what are my strengths and my weaknesses and trying to shore up all my weaknesses. So I know on game day I'm gonna have a lot going on and that's where having Dennis Allen in the building and on the sideline is gonna be huge relief because he's been there He's done that I have a lot of trust in what he can do on that side of the ball Richard Hightower is a carryover coach for special teams. He's got a lot of skins on the wall highly respected

Special teams coordinator and then there'll be a there'll be a game management portion That's up in the booth that that'll have to be my eyes up top to help navigate some of those processes so that we don't fall into some traps there at the end of the game. Yeah, because I'm always just amazed when guys do that. Like when they show Sean McVeigh sitting on the sideline, he'll like sit on the bench calling up the next plays,

I'm like, but you're also the head coach. But again, we're dumb. So. Well, it's all about the people you put around you. Yeah. That's what it comes down to. Yeah, how many guys that you have on your staff. Yep, we got we got a great mix of of experience

and energy. And I think idea guys, so I feel really good about where we're at. Are you an acronym guide? You have an acronym? No, no acronym. Okay, no, that love that. Great answer. That's a great answer. Dog guy, not an acronym guy. Love that. Okay. The center position, I would assume, I mean, you're going from obviously the Lions had an incredible offensive line, Bears are in transition trying to figure it out. How important is the center for your play calling and your designs and what you're trying to do? I would say it's less about me and it's more about the quarterback. So with Caleb being a second year player

and everything that that entails, he's still, I thought he had a productive first year in terms of exposure of a lot of things that can go on, but to help him out the most here going forward, I do think we need a strong presence at center, smart player that can help set the table from the run game and pass protection perspective. Yeah. Do you feel like your mastery of offense gives you a better insight as to how to like lean in and give some examples of like to your defense coordinator some ideas

that you can pass along be like, Hey, if I want to stop this, here's what I would do. Yeah, yeah, well, we'll have those conversations. And certainly within the division, I already have a good feel with some of these teams in the division. What what may or may not be good ways to go. Yeah. Do you hate the Packers? I don't like the Packers. Yeah. He hates a strong word, but no, I don't. I don't hate him. What about the the you do? You do you don't know it yet, but you do. What about this shot at our friend, Matt LaFleur? I liked it. It was kind of different because a lot of times when a Bears head coach gets announced, they'll be like, we got to beat the Packers. You just kind of threw a subtle one in there.

Do you know him at all? Not like that, no. Okay, no. Oh, I like that. No. Yeah, you don't know him like that. No, I don't know him like that. Did anything get back?

Like, did he? No, like, listen, it's a friendly rivalry going on. So it'll be fun. Yeah. In 2025, the Bears are one and oh against Packers. That's a fact. That's just a statistical fact. Yeah, it's a streak. You gotta keep going. Going only with facts here. That's a fact. Um alright, so in terms of uh the draft in the combine, you you obviously been to the combine many times, but as a head coach now, like are you, how much does a combine actually matter? Does it actually like, is

it more just, Hey, we got to go watch the tape. This is just kind of an addition to everything we're doing, or is it like, Hey, we're going to try to maybe find a diamond in the rough here. It's another tool. So I mean, it's the first exposure we get personality and football intelligence with the formal interviews. So just another tool, but yeah, I it's the first exposure we get personality and football intelligence with the formal interviews. So just another tool. But yeah, I'd say the end all be all is the tape. Yeah. Yeah. How many What's the longest you've gone without watching tape?

Good question. Good question. Question. I don't know if I have the answer for that one. Has it been like longer than a week? It's probably been about a week. Have you a vacation and gone somewhere, you don't bring the iPad. Private browser in the bathroom, looking at some tape incognito. I swear I'm not looking at tape right now. But you probably watch a ton. I would imagine. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like how many hours a week would you say? Shoot. Probably 40.

Full time job grinding tape. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy. I mean, particularly during the season, but off season it adds up. And is it, I mean, we're not tape watchers like that. I watched some Twitter tape, but is there moments where you're like aha moments

that you find in those 40 hours that are just, I would imagine that's why you keep going back. That's yes. Where those ideas pop right. You know, last offseason about the the laterals and then we had some other cool stuff with Lyman splits, moving them around and things like that. So, yeah, you kind of collect that as you're as you're watching everything. So they get asked if you ever got reigned in by Coach Campbell or he was like, that's too crazy. But have you ever had to rein yourself in? Was there a play that you designed and you were like this is too much? No I mean the best example would have been that that stumble ball play from Jared I actually wanted him to put the ball on the ground. He's the one

that told me I don't know if that's the best idea so yeah yeah I mean really the players will start bringing us back down to earth. Yeah did you did you practice it with him putting the ball in the ground? No, he said he said no way. Probably smart. That would have been one where if it worked, it would have been maybe the best play ever. But if it didn't work, it would be like, this is the dumbest play ever designed. Yeah. Yeah. Do you do you have a certain amount of shots that you always want to take in a game? Like you're like, all right, we got to take at least five shots or it's

been this long since we've taken a shot changes each week. Yeah. So it depends on the opponent. Yeah. Yeah. Some weeks you'll say, right, we got to take at least five shots or it's been this long since we've taken a shot changes each week. Yeah. So it depends on the opponent. Yeah, yeah. Some weeks you'll say, Hey, we need to one each quarter other weeks. It might be a little bit more conservative than that. Yeah. But yeah, I got to play call for you. Yeah, we got it's called the fake punt punt. Yeah, I can already tell you're intrigued. So you line up for a punt. You fake the punt like you're gonna run a're intrigued. So you line up for a punt, you fake the punt,

like you're gonna run a fake punt. So like maybe the guy, the punter catches it and like pump fakes, but then he punts. I like it. Yeah, cause then everyone comes up and then you get a free, you know, if you're trying to get them to not return it, and then you do the fake punt punt all season long.

And then finally at the end, you actually fake punt. It's like the fake flea flicker run. Yeah, yeah. Fake punt punt. Yes, yes. But just the special teams run. Yes. I love it. Fake punt punt.

Yeah, now we're talking. If you do the fake punt punt, I'd be the happiest guy. Are you coming to OTAs this year? Yeah, I'll be there. Okay, good. We'll install that. I've seen one team do it, I think they did it by accident in college.

Yeah. I think they just screwed up accident in college. I think they just screwed up their puns. Those are the best ones though. Yeah. All the good ones are. No one returned it. It just rolled down. That's right. Yeah. My overall football philosophy is that the check down is always open on the flea flicker. Always. You can get seven yards every time on a flea flicker. Yeah, I agree with that. Every single time you have the tight end dragon across, make a whole offense out of that. Yeah, I'm also very stupid. I apologize. Do you like shovel passes? Okay. Why not? It's just been feast or famine. Yeah, I like a little bit more

consistency. Okay. I like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a time and place. Yeah, that's like the dabble keep them off the yeah Sometimes shovel paths. Do you like fullbacks? Yes Love that about you. We have a fullback award, which you are more than welcome to have a vote I do not know that a low man trophy. Yeah, I've been doing it for I don't know six or seven I'm a crow from Boise State when it last year really? Yeah. Yeah, you know NFL teams have fullbacks Not a lot of them on one hand at this point. They're coming back, but it's more like an H-back

where you have to be able to be a fullback and a tight end and a lot of different stuff. But there's something, I mean, what's your, what are your thoughts on bare football? On bare football? Yeah, bare weather. Chicago bare football. Yeah, bare weather's great.

It's gonna be a weapon for us. Yes. Get some of these dome teams in December and January. Be perfect. So when we big cat watch games, sometimes we just scream at the TV that you have to establish the run. Is that is that important to because your math guy, you know that if you run the ball more frequently, you end up winning those games based on the numbers afterwards, which has nothing to do with getting a lead and then running the football to drain the clock or anything like that. But what are your feelings on establishing the run?

Uh, depends on the week. Depends on the week. That's not that's not every week. Yeah. And yeah, there's different ways to win. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Uh, the choice to come to the Bears. Yeah. I knew you talked about a little, uh, you know, a few minutes ago, but it seemed like it happened pretty quickly. How did it go down? You know, obviously the loss happens on Saturday night, and then Sunday, did you look at all your options and then wake up on Monday and be like, all right, it's bears?

Well, I think it started with having that first round by. The years prior, you know, didn't have the ability to really think through some things. And so we had some time off and all four interviews that I took, I was able to actually think about going into a little bit. And so I had a very good feel that this is the direction I wanted to go.

I'm not saying necessarily Chicago at that point, but I knew I wanted to be a head coach this cycle. And then once I got on the interview and it just, it absolutely clicked with Chicago and the leadership group and Ryan, I love Ryan. I felt really strongly about that place. And so that's right when that happened, it got off the call and it's like,

this is where I wanna go. And so, you know, the season ended in such an abrupt fashion give Washington a lot of credit because they did, they earned that thing. Um, you know, the season ended in such an abrupt fashion, uh, give Washington a lot of credit because, because they did, they earned that, that thing. But, uh, you know, it was really planning on, on going deep in the playoffs there and making it to the Superbowl. So it was a tough way to go out.

And, uh, you know, it all escalated very quickly after that, you know, had about 48 hours of exit meetings and everything and then and then yeah it was this is what's going on and let's go ahead and get it done. Yeah, yeah. What happens in an exit interview? The players come in they have their physicals and just make sure they're healthy and then they'll meet as a team, offense with your position coaches and then some guys would come come by my office as well as the coordinator and just, what do I need to work on or things like that.

Honest thoughts, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's a crappy time. It doesn't seem like a very fun day. Yeah, 31 teams, it's just, it's the worst day of the year. Was there a part of you when you took the Bears head coaching job where you're like, I'm losing a little bit of being the hottest name every single cycle? You're like, I'm, I'm losing a little bit of, uh,

being the hottest name every single cycle. You're like, I'm kind of giving this up cause you were, you're the hottest name. Every time I part of me would be like, I just kind of want to keep getting talked about like this. Like you can't get talked about. Yeah. I wasn't really part of my thought. Okay. That would have been part. I would have been like pros and cons. Like people aren't going to say that I'm the next genius. You know what I mean? There. I know I'm gonna have to prove it. I probably would have said, probably would

have pussied out and been like, I'm just going to be in an assistant. It's good. It's good. Having undefeated as a head coach. The hypothetical of you as a head coach was incredible. Now you actually got to prove it. Well, AI, AI, AI said two circles in 10 years. Has it ever been wrong? Yeah, that's facts. That's facts. I heard that when you did the interview with the Bears, you stopped at the last minute and you went back to them and you just said, I want this job.

Yes. Is that true? Yes. Is that the only team that you said that to? That is. So that was the Bears were the one you had identified, like just so you know, this is the one that I'm interested in.

That's right. That's, I imagine a very powerful thing to say at the end of a job interview to somebody. I would imagine so. Right. Did you did you feel like they they reciprocated in that moment? I think they like that. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. I got one last question. This has been awesome. Thank you for joining us coach. Rowback question. RHOBACK.com promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Rowback.com promo code take. Last question, I know I joked about it with the Porsches and the Mansions and all that stuff, but did you at least buy yourself

something with the new contract? No. You didn't? No. Here's what happened is we found a house and then my wife all of a sudden said, she's like, well, I want to redo the kitchen. I want to redo the bathroom. All right, so that counts? Yeah, that counts as buying something? Yeah. That's where it's going initially. Okay. Are you concerned about moving to Chicago? From our personal experience, at least mine, you put on a little weight when you move to Chicago, I need to put on some way I lose it. I lose it

during the season. I was down about 1015 pounds by the end of the year that happens every year. That's a stress. I don't know what it is. Maybe. Okay. Yeah, I need that diet. I don't think that's gonna be a problem in Chicago Yeah, keep squatting 405 man. What a bench not not nearly as much. Okay, you know Norwegian Scandinavian So I got the thick lowers. What what was your peak squat? peak squat Was probably like 455. Yeah, that's pretty good to still be it like pretty close to it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, how old are you again?

3938. What about world? Yeah, we're very old. What about peak bench way at your max? 315. So that's not bad. Yeah, I can't get there. I'm nowhere near that now though. Where you go on calf raises? Oh. I could crush you on calf raises. Last question. How many Super Bowls do you have to win to become more famous than Caleb Presley, who you went to the same high

school, both went to UNC? I think you not only have to win multiple Super Bowls. I think you got to get the trifecta. I think you got to get three in a row. OK. To be more famous than him. Yeah. Maybe have Glennie Balls come and pump up the boys one time.

That would be nice. On a Sunday morning. Yes. Yes. I like where your head's at. I got his number. If you need a guy, I can contact you for him. Yeah. Just eating big bowl of ice cream. That'd be great.

I said a lot of reckless shit last summer, okay? No. Let's go win then. So we're gonna- Let's go win. I went and I looked at the process. We made some tweaks to the process. We go win and then it gets back to 10 out of 10. I love it, I love it. Let's go. I went and I looked at the process. We made some tweaks to the process. We go in and then it gets back to 10.

but you do love the combine more than anyone, and it's like getting to see it through your eyes. It's cool to see guys in the wild, you know? Yeah. Real wild. Guys in the wild. Indy. Yeah.

He's real wild. Who's the like biggest guy, not physically, but the one that that you love the most that you've spotted in Indy the last couple years that you've gotten excited about? Oh, good question. I was excited to see Bucky Brooks of the Moons of the Six podcast, Rich Eisen. I've been a fan for for a long time than him um so colinsworth yep chris collinsworth we just saw on the way to to here so yeah all the guys that you see like guys that i will watch press conferences for on youtube for the bucks and i get to see them like you know he's not with us anymore he's alive but he's with a different team casey rogers or a

defensive line coach yeah you know it'd be cool. No, I like Casey. Yeah, it's a big it's the biggest week for like adults with backpacks. I feel like I don't know that this hallway, this convention center, it's just packs of like four people. Remember that time we saw Rapport in his backpack? It was so big. He had the little shark backpack.

Yeah, no, it's a big backpack week. It's a bit. You see a bunch of dudes that used to be in shape are extremely well-groomed when it comes to their facial hair, wearing lanyards and backpacks. Yeah, lanyards, big lanyards week. Yeah, but this is basically like my Twitter feed and what I watch on YouTube come to life. Yeah.

So it's cool. Love it. All right. All right, guys on chicks. It's like a fan fest, but just no. For Steven Chen. Not a lot of fans. I do like the description of like it's his Twitter feed. Yes walking through the hallways. Oh, this is yeah Wow, I didn't see Bonnie blue here Uncomfortable with that one. I bought my new BF underwear for Christmas because his are old and gross

But I realized this week he hasn't opened the new pack. When I asked why he said he prefers the old ones because he's already broken in the heat sleeve. When I asked what the heat sleeve was he said it's the slit in the front and he calls it that because on hot nights he'll pull out his package of sticking balls out of the heat sleeve and sleep that way so his balls don't stick to his legs. He told me that with the new undies the heat sleeve is too tight and he can't get fully comfortable when it's junks out Should I leave him now or marry this man? I sounds like he's got a yeah It sounds like he's got a I don't know. It sounds like he's also just very horny

I think he takes that out of his sleeve every night hoping that you'll roll over and accidentally touch it Yeah, there's no real reason to pull the boys out. I didn't think he'd go heat sleeve. I will say in his defense, I'm a big time, like get a package or get something and just not open it for a while. Like I just have boxes. I'm just like, especially if I order something online

and I know what it is, like in my front hall right now, I have like a hat and new shoes and I know what they are. I just haven't gotten around to opening it. They've been sitting there for about a week. Yeah, I thought with heat sleeve, he was going for like, you know, guys like to have our ass groove on the couch. Right? We've broken that in throughout the years.

When you get a new set of underwear, you have to break that in too. Yeah. It's like, I know how I fit my old stuff. Or it could, do you ever get the underwear that just doesn't have a heat sleeve? No, just like a thing where you can play your dick on the front. That would be that's that's literally what we're talking about. How do you not know about a heat sleeve?

I don't know. I have some underwear where there's just nothing right. You got to pull down. Talk about heat. Yes. All right. You wiggle your penis through it and then you pee. Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. You just read the question.

Why? You just read the question about the heat sleeve. We didn't know what a heat sleeve was until you told us. And now you still don't know what a heat sleeve is. How often? Well, he was saying that it's too tight. I'm saying that there are some that don't even have one. Okay.

Like it's a wall with no door. Yeah. Yeah. Let's say you're you're you're you got a heat sleeve on and you're wearing a pants with fly. How often are you actually going through versus going under never I go over. I think if it's a on like 10% it's a big heat sleeve. I'll go through there but sometimes easier just pull down. I don't even use my fly because I know I'll just end up pissing on myself But then it sometimes if you go over the top

It kind of pinches it off a little bit and why go balls over the top when you put it away Yeah, you dribble out you squirt out a little bit at the end. Well, I dribble on my balls in that case Yeah, my big ass nature's a tiny penis big balls No side pouch, but I want one. Hey guys, my people have sex through the heat sleeve. Yeah, definitely Mormons. Oh, yeah, it's weird. For sure Mormons. Why would you not just pull the whole thing down? It's a good question. Why would you believe that Steve Young's great grandfather was

God? Why you my favorite quarterback run ever against Vikings. Hi, my. Hi, guys. My favorite quarterback run ever against the Vikings. Hi, my, hi guys. My boyfriend's friends are pissed off at him because I made him go out to dinner with me twice last weekend, Valentine's Day weekend. It was for Valentine's Day. The other one was Saturday night too.

His friends say he should just continue to be a bachelor for life, especially since they claimed he has changed and couldn't even get him to come out to watch USA skull fuck Canada. Are they overreacting on him, overreacting on him for the time I am spending with him? Yes. I don't understand why they were so mad at me

for making him miss the hockey game. Well, they love him. His buddies love him and you're a threat. Yeah. You gotta give him some, you gotta give him a couple big ones like the USA Canada would have been a good one. Because then immediately guys are dumb. And if you if

your friend is like, Yeah, I'm coming out for USA Canada, they be like, Oh, man, you really are dating a cool chick. I like her on Valentine's Day. I might try to take a pass at her. That would be a tough one to explain. Like, why are you skipping Valentine's Day? Well, because there's this tournament that just got created that I care deep deeper. If you're a hockey fan, you can you could make it pass. But to be like, yeah, I got to lock in for USA, Canada. You also. Yeah, this is partly his fault.

Like you need to the sports calendar is set. I think most women know what the sports calendar is. When you have like a four nations thing, you need to do a lot of prep work. You need to be like, hey, listen, there's a tournament coming up. Cause that's not something normal that's in the sports calendar. You gotta say my country needs me.

Yeah, right. It's gotta sound young too. Yeah, I think so. That's a classic young thing. He's probably the first one with a serious girlfriend. Yeah, you're so whipped. You went out to Valentine's Day dinner with your girlfriend. Yeah, that's crazy, dude.

That's so gay. Going out to Valentine's Day dinner, end of the next day with a new girlfriend is crazy. Because Valentine's Day dinner, that's going to run you $200 at minimum? Yeah. Are there any chance? Are you calling chilis?

At minimum. There's a good chance that they like each other It sounds like they made it official. Yeah space it out. We're gone out two nights in a row Val yes, I have Like the event this is a situation where the guys are going through culture shock They probably all are single and then there's one guy who's got a girlfriend. You just got to ride the wave. It'll be fine They'll also just say it was they're not serious. Yeah,, even if they are yeah, yeah, that's just how we joke Yeah, if you have some girlfriends that are also single you should introduce them to his guy friend, correct? Yeah, that way hook them up world's collide. Yep

All right. How much would you say my boyfriend should how much say should my boyfriend have in decorating our apartment? My boyfriend and I are about to move in together to a small two bedroom apartment. He has a plethora of sports memorabilia slash frat boy decor that he claims is non-negotiable to be hung in the apartment. Some of these items include a huge canvas of dogs playing poker. Cool. Awesome. Dude's rock.

Signed Braves baseball bats. Light up vintage bush light sign. Okay. Other beer sign. All of these count? The absolute worst of them all is a four foot bobble head of John Grun that we threatened together. No, yeah. Send it to us. Send it to our office. Being in a two bedroom apartment does not give enough room to have a man cave. Should all these items be up in our new apartment together. I was, I was getting ready to take her side in this and being like, guy, he probably doesn't want that much space. He doesn't care that much about decorating. Cause if you go over to a woman's apartment, especially in college and compare it to a guy's, it's literally two different species.

I think what you need to do is you need to do the right thing get him a Storage locker and be like when we have more space you will have your own space there because But before you cannot get rid of it if you make him get rid of the four-foot bobblehead He that will be a part of his life that will die forever. All right, but I think who does wait now there's one more The one I texted you I'll read it. Okay. I Just broke it. I don't know what I did. I'm so strong shadow planet fitness.
