We start an indie where the Cowboys tried to ride the Colts and Prescott was dacking the saddle again, as the 100 year anniversary of the Black Sox scandal looms large, Marlin's man Matt was humbling, bumbling, and stumbling for two scores, but it's not about him, it's about the troops, to quote my colleague, Trey Wingo, Frank the Tank, right, and the Colts are going streaking, boy this escalated quickly, when in Crashers Real 40 we make our own luck, Andrew that is, Colts 23, Cowboys 20. The NFC Norris was decided on the lake Sunday

as the monsters of the midway are officially back in Chicago, Kalalia you look good, won't you mack that ass up, sacking Aaron Rodgers with his behind, and proving that hard twerk beats talent when talent doesn't twerk hard, is it March Madness, because America is finally tuning in to watch Mitchell to TV, good news for all you kiddos, there will be a Kevin White Christmas next weekend as the Bears will most likely be resting their starters down the stretch, Crash 24, Packers 17, what? In western New York Detroit wanted a bailout, but the bills came due on their Ford, Keith that is, Robert Foster the people told all the other kids in the Lions secondary, you better run, run, run, out run Allen's gun,

let me be the first to wish you a happy Kenny Gholiday, and that pencil behind Matt Patricia's ear is starting to smell a lot like number two, hey teach, no one circles the wagons like the buffalo bells, bills 14, Lions 13, some spread, just when you think the Redskins have hit rock bottom, Josh Bwayne the Rock Johnson throws 151 yards with the people's elbow, Coteen Kessler looked like he had the Jacksonville Playbook chopped and screwed as he only threw for 57 yards in an interception, also sipping on the purple Gatorade was Lienard Farnetter as the Jaguars offensive game plan was too slow, drive slow homie, if only there was a boat that could ride this ship, Redskins 16, Jaguars 13.

In rainy meadowlands, Derricka Nardini Henry has the Titans fans ready to pay all their gold for playoff tickets this January, the highlight for the Titans Cubie was Marcus Canby Marriota boxing out a linebacker forcing the Giants defense to call him a U-Mass hole, you can skip the last chapter of the book of Eli, turns out he was blind his whole career, the Titans 17, Giants go so high, come on boom spoilers, what? Standing on the corner, Jamis Winston Tampa, Florida, such a fine sight to see, it's a lost my lord in a big downpour, as Jamis tries to shop up some crap trees, hey Joe Flacco, you just got sad coat, the ravens are on the roll, behind Jacko, and Cincinnati, the

Bengals are getting jump, drizzical, drizzical, and Olivia Newton-John Cruden watch helplessly as his team got creased, Derrick clapped in car, it's no lie, it's no lie, it's no lie, he's got no game, everyone's laughing at the Raider season like they're joining Nelson Mott's, and Hugh Jackson has finally earned his Bengal Stripes, wait on second look, they're actually just skid marks from all that skyline chili, Bengal 30, Raider 16, to the steel city where Jalen Samuel Jackson told the Patriots defense, and you will know my name is the lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee, hey boom, get these motherfucking snakes off my motherfucking plane, wrong movie Teege, if you're horny, let's do it, ride it, my Sony, Michelle had

a half hundred yards, but the Patriots offense could never get past the foreplay to the sucking in fucking, Chris Roswell had a close encounter of the turd kind, and missed another field goal, hey Teege, what's that unidentified flying object in the fourth quarter, that's a made field goal, boom, if the playoff started today, the Patriots would have to play in the wild card round, huh, Steelers 17, Patriots 10, we finish in Minnesota, where Kenyon Drake and Trab both love yay more than anyone, and I love those guys back, we love everyone, now that we got that out of the way, a quick PSA, as hot as your cousins may appear after a couple eggnogs at home, maybe a couple d-d-d-d's, give me that pot, just remember, he's 0 and

7 in prime time, also don't fuck with us, the Vikings woke up feeling dangerous and took the Dolphins to their mancodes, savagely murdering them like a bunch of Japanese fishermen, Vikings 41, Dolphins 17, alright, 15 in the books, and the Chicago Bears, your NFC North Champions, oh we're gonna do snaps, listen, congrats, listen, how much credit do you personally deserve, none, none, but I am so happy it happened against the Packers, I'm so happy it happened against Aaron Rodgers, I'm so happy that that stupid Bose commercial won't trigger me anymore, which one was that, the one where he's walking around on Soldier Field and everything just starts wilting away, I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man, kind of like that, but the Bears have

punched their playoff berth, they beat the Packers, they slay the dragon, they basically say, hey you're not our daddy anymore, Aaron Rodgers, go throw an interception hot, yeah he threw an interception, yeah he did, he broke that streak, did you notice Aaron had that same kind of body language that he had last week, bad body language, he missed a huge throw, is there sign language for faces, like for people, what if, what if you're hard of hearing and you don't have arms, or if you're like missing a finger, yeah I think that's lip reading, lip reading, I was lip reading Aaron Rodgers and he was just like, this sucks, this sucks, it was one of those classic moments where I thought everything, all the bad stuff, the boogeyman was coming to like, you know,

take my life, the stupid fake punt at midfield, they tie the game, Aaron Rodgers has a bomb that he just overthrows, he's been doing that all year, and guess what, he's not the same Aaron Rodgers, and he's gonna be 36 next year, I'll just throw that out there, big guy would you trade, would you trade Mitch Trabisky for Aaron Rodgers right now, if you had to swap contracts, well you're an idiot, no, you're an idiot, well no, if we had to swap contracts we'd be over the cap, how mad, you're an idiot, you don't read the fucking cap, dude I'm a fucking capologist, I'm Sashi Brown in this motherfucker, so our defense wouldn't be as good, we're gonna play, we're gonna play some defense, we're gonna run the ball, we're gonna play some defense, we're gonna

run the ball, okay, did you see how pissed off Aaron Rodgers was to try that Hail Mary at the end of the first half, because it might break his streak, yes, exactly, Aaron Rodgers will never say this, but he was obsessed with that streak, he's like the NBA players who at the end of a quarter will wait till the buzzer and then throw the three-point lob, we don't want, I don't want my field goal percentage to go down, yeah I'm shocked, I'm shocked he didn't try to throw that out of the back of the end zone, me first guy, but let me be the first to congratulate you big cat, this is a very big accomplishment for your Chicago Bears, it feels good, and now you guys might get home field advantage for a game or two, and it's gonna be, it's gonna be good, it's gonna be

Chicago Bears in the playoffs, in playoff weather, you don't want to go to Soldier Field, okay, so you said game or two, let's talk about the two possibility, are the LA Rams broken, so okay, I'll just get in front of this because you're about to say it, did the Chicago Bears break the LA Rams, that's not what I was gonna say, but yes, I think that there's something wrong with them, I think Sean McVeigh's photographic memory is a blessing and a curse, because what do they always say, you have to have a short memory to get past the fucked up plays, so having a photographic memory is great when things are going really well, but then when things go really poorly, that's all you think about, here's my question, if you're an LA Rams fan, now pretend that for a second,

would you rather have a coach who has a photographic memory or a coach that knows how to use his timeouts at the end of a game, because listen, I like Sean McVeigh, he's been on this show, he's a recurring guest, but the photographic memory isn't as ooh, ah, this is so cool, when you don't realize that you don't need to call a timeout with 245 left, you should probably let them run another play and call it on the other side of the two minute warning and give yourself a minute and 50 and not a minute and 15 or whatever they ended up with. Right, I would actually rather have a coach that doesn't have a memory at all, that just tattoos down all the important stuff on his body like in Momento, like hey, if you're coming up on the two minute warning,

remember to call this timeout. So, the other part of that game, Nick Foles, are the Eagles about to do this again? Because Nick Foles, if Nick Foles runs the table here and the Eagles get into the playoffs and let's say he wins a game or two, how can you go back to Carson Wentz? This guy like, that was a game 13.5 point underdogs, everyone said the Eagle season was over, he's throwing jump balls to Alshon Jeffery, he's getting the offense going, he's not just throwing it to Erts and I like Carson Wentz, but he does love Erts. Eagles now are saying, oh, shit, we might have a chance of sneaking into the playoffs. They are officially my team that could make some noise in the playoffs, which still that's like a very wide open definition. Yep,

that could be if they're a wildcard team or they would have to get in most likely by winning the division, right? Well, no, the Vikings are 7-6-1 and the Eagles are 7-7, so it could be there. I'll just say this, you don't want to play the Eagles week one in the playoffs. Who gets in if it's nine? I see this is when Ty's really fuck you up. Ty's fuck you up big time, but I'll just say this though, the R words are still very much in this thing. Josh Johnson, people forget, Josh Johnson, just like your man Arod, is a 1-1. Yes, he is. Of that other weird league that he used in his first overall. Yeah, one of the million weird leagues. Yeah. Just want to record you guys Dunchain the Eagles November 20th. Okay, that's fine. And you know what? Listen,

hand up. I Dunchain the Eagles. I personally Dunchain the Seahawks. I think they were the inaugural Dunchain. And listen, Big Cat is being very, very accountable with his Texans Dunchain, which saying that he will cut his pinky off. I just want to say, I will be held accountable as well. If the Seahawks, if they make the playoffs, no, no, if they won the Super Bowl, I will cut off the tip of Big Cat's pinky. Okay. So now I got two pinkies out there. I'm just being, yeah, that's very nice. You just agree to that? No, no, no, but you said it out loud. So the Texans, the Texans now sit with, if the playoffs started today, the buy, they come back against the jets in Saturday night football, which love NFL on Saturday. And which leads us to a roundabout way.

Hank, would you like to talk about the Patriots Steelers game, which was shocking to watch because the Steelers, the Steelers do everything they can possibly do to lose to the Patriots. Like they did the big Ben interceptions and miss field goals and weird shit that goes on. And somehow it just didn't happen. Yeah. I mean, the offense was terrible. They only had that one wide open touchdown, which was clearly a breakdown by the Steelers. Their offense was real. What do you think is the key to the Patriots offense not being so great? I mean, I think there's a lot of factors in play. Brady might be getting, age might be catching up to him. Whoa. So Hank, Rob, the age might be catching up to him. So Hank, you are, but you said Brady first, you are quicker to point

the finger at Tom Brady for being old than you are at Rob Gronkowski. Yeah, he's older than Rob Gronkowski. But you're saying Brady is more of a problem right now. No, I don't think anyone's a problem. I think there's a lot of factors. Are you worried? Yes. Okay. I think we need to actually have old takes exposed. You know how he's, you know, he's gotten his brand very big out there. He needs to really buckle down on the people who have been saying like Tom Brady and the Patriots are done. If you've been saying that for five years, you can't now say it now because it now looks a little different. It's like the LeBron stuff. If you kept on saying this is the year LeBron won't win the East, you don't, you basically get your, you get it taken away from you because

you can't be the guy who's been saying it for five years straight and then all of a sudden be like, told you so. People, oh, this happens at least once a year. But this does feel different. Patriots lose and then the people, but this, this conversation happens every single year. Patriots lose, oh, it feels different, Brady's getting old. It is weird that they've scored 10 points three times now this season and back to back losses. Obviously the Dolphins game was wild, but it is okay to say that it feels different. I will say that I disagree with you on your take about not calling people, not allowing the people that have previously done it, because if you're Trent Dilfer and you said it four years ago, you can, if it were me, I would just say as first

reported by me four years ago, just ahead of the curve. It's just, it's, you know, it's going to be the swarm because this, listen, like whatever side you're on, the Patriots are the, are the story that everyone wants to talk about when either they win or they lose. So this is going to be leading first take and all that stuff. I just want to see the receipts on people. Okay. You know what I'm saying? I want receipts. I want receipts. I want to see the receipts. I'll say this. The offense, what they're trying to do, it looks like from my perspective is they've got Julian Edelman running the Rob Gronkowski routes now. Like in the middle, he's doing like the hard work across the middle and he's a littler guy. So he's getting upended. He's not that little. He's like, he's like

five 10 perfectly average. Yeah. Yeah. But what I'm saying is like the offense is definitely different without, if you watch Rob Gronkowski getting off the line of scrimmage right now, he just moves like he's hurt all the time. I mean, the tight end position, a guy like Gronk has been battered. He's taken so much and the thing that people don't talk about with him. Yeah. He runs people over, but also when he gets tackled, that's a big, that's a lot of collisions, big collisions, big tree fall hard. The Steelers, they fight, the Steelers are so fucking weird. There's teams that like you just can't figure out the dolphins or the other team where it's like, this team is seven seven, they might be the worst seven and seven team in the history of the NFL. And I,

I'm sure dolphins will get upset about that, but actually you'll probably agree with me. Like they make no sense. They get the, the doors blown off by the Vikings after beating the Patriots last week. The Steelers lose to the Raiders and beat the Patriots and it's like nothing makes sense. You know what it is? The NFL, it's so random. It is very random. It's so random. It's so random. It's so random. It's such a random league. It's so random. I was thinking about just doing a basic week where I just get real basic with everything that I say for a week. Yeah. Like start doing CrossFit. It's so random. Yeah. The NFL, so random. So also in that game, I made a couple of notes here. One, Tony Romo, it was just my favorite, my favorite part about this game.

Yeah. He was really going to town on all the, oh my God. Now I make noises too. Yeah. But Tony, he, he, he, he came in our ear no less than five times when Bill Belichick had the offense run out and then had the punt team run out. Oh, he's a genius. He owns the podcast. He does. He tells Jim when to talk. Exactly. You may speak now, Jim. Go ahead. You can, you can call this. I'm done having a verbal orgasm right now. Yeah. There was one point where Belichick had his defense do something that tricked Tony Romo and Tony was like, see, I got fooled. That's been got fooled there too. Yes. And then Ben threw an interception shortly thereafter. And when Tony Romo saw Ben throw like a, I think it was a late third quarter or fourth quarter interception, he like kind of

freaked out. He got excited. And what it was, it was Tony Romo. That's as close as he'll ever get to experiencing how we felt. Yes. Tony Romo would throw a fourth quarter interception. He needed to hop on Twitter. Yeah. He's finally understanding like the joy that you can get in somebody else's misery. How much fun it was. The other note that I had is Big Ben's hat. So his hat game on the sidelines. He was wearing the NFL, the wool hats that they have. Yep. Big Ben cut the snowball off the top of his hat. Yeah. Everybody else has a snowball. Big Ben neutered. Maybe his dog did. He neutered his own hat. Yeah. Stella rips off the top of that hat every single time. I think I got a new hat. I think Ben probably just nodded off. Yeah. He got hungry in his sleep. No, he's

kind of a little hungry. He needed a chew toy. It's a snowball. Yeah. Mike Tomlin was getting him bored in the breakdown, film breakdown. So he started just chewing on it. Tony Romo, it's going to be so much fun at the Super Bowl when Tony Romo noises start trending. And we're like, Hey, we had a first. Feels good to be every now and then we were on something early. We also talk about how the Chris Collins. Well, yeah, I was going to say, so what they're going to do once people get really into the Tony Romo noises, the CBS like social staff is going to try to adopt it and try to get cool with it. Make fun of it. Which has happened today was, I think the Chris Collins worth slide isn't cool anymore. I don't know. Embrace debate because

Sunday night football saw like what a big viral trend it was. And then they decided to put out their own little compilation. Yep. Now I was a little upset going into the game, but then they kind of flipped it on us and Collins was sliding. He slid in from the left. It was a great move. You had to switch it up. And now next week, he's going to come in above like Owen Hart too soon, right on top of Chris, uh, Michael's head, like Mission Impossible. Yeah, right. Lower him down or have him come out from the bottom, like Mario coming out of a tube. Yeah. Or like Monica Lewinsky from underneath the desk. Yeah. Yeah. That's what should just rise up and just wipe his mouth off and start talking. Hey, what's up, Al? Uh, PFT. We got a couple more things we gotta

talk about. Okay. I said last week, last Monday on this show that I am still mad at Hugh Jackson and I still need justice. And guess what? My anger is even more, even bigger this week because the Cleveland Browns should be a playoff team and Hugh Jackson fucked them over. Well, fucked them over. Now we can officially say the stat. Remember I was a little early on it. Yeah. Hugh Jackson, three wins and 40 games. Baker Mayfield, four wins in six games. Okay. Without Hugh Jackson. Pretty good. Pretty good. And we need to talk about the Cleveland Browns still being alive. You ready for this? Yeah. Well, I'm ready. I got it. Okay. The Browns are still alive. Here's how they're alive. They need to win out. Okay. The Ravens must lose out. Yep. Miami must

lose one of two. Done. Tennessee and Indian, Indianapolis need to lose in week 16. And then they have to play in week 17 and tie. Okay. That's what we're rooting for. Then the Browns are in. We're rooting for a tie. Indy, Tennessee. And you know what? Such a particular center. I could absolutely imagine a game between Tennessee and the Colts ending in a tie. It doesn't matter. You, if you're a Cleveland Brown fan, I know this sounds stupid, but it's week 16 and you're still not mathematically eliminated. And America, this should be America's team. Yeah. Formal motion to strip the Cowboys of the title of America's team and give it to the Browns. And Baker wasn't that great. You know, he didn't have his best game on, on Saturday. The Broncos were all over,

all over them in the backfield all night. But Vance Joseph, God love you, man. You Dan Quinn yourself. The all time dumbest thing when he kicked a field goal, what were they down for? They were down for with like three minutes left, four minutes left and kicked a field goal on fourth and one from about the seven. Yeah. Dan Quinn himself. Listen, you should be fine. He's having the time of his life out there on the field instantly. You should be fired instantly when that happens. Well, see, Vance is a simple guy like me. He could have points or he could have no points and he just thought, I'll do the points one. He probably was thinking his inner burger McFarland got to, got to get it down to a one score game. Yeah. Very true. You got to win with

a field. Here's, here's another little fun stat for the Browns, something else to root for or to give us some hope moving forward. Okay. The Browns are now five and O against teams with the animal nicknames. Okay. Who do they play? The Bengals. Oh, animal. Also an eighties band, but I think, I believe this team was named after the tiger and then the Ravens. Let's go. Are birds animals? Birds are animals. No, they're not. They're bugs. No, they're, they're dinosaurs. No, they're, no, they're not. They're aviators, right? Yeah, they're aviators. They're, you know, they're decaprios. What is, what are they? Avian. They're an avian species. So not animal. Okay. So we're breaking down the tequila. No, we're breaking, what'd you say? Tequila? Yeah, avian. It is? Yeah.

No, no, birds are bugs and dolphins are fish. Dolphins are fish. Settled. Whales are also fish. Case of the law, settled. I don't like this whole little whale's, whale's breathe the air, so they're mammals. They're fucking swimming in the water. They're fish. Dolphins have sex for pleasure. They're smart. They know what to do. They're fucking fish, man. They're fucking, they're fucking fish. They're fucking fish. Get out of here with your slander. So stupid. I have won our stat of the day. Two of them. We've already given a bunch of stats today. No, but I got a real stat of the day. Okay. The first one is cowboys and giants, first time ever that they have both been shut out in the same day and credit to the giants for

before the game against the Titans and being shut out. They said that they're probably going to bring Eli back. So good job on that. Wait, when did they say that? I don't know. I just, Tommy Smokes told me that. Sorry, he's a giant. I was about to say that sounds like something that somebody told you and you want to believe it. No, it's true. Yeah, no, it is true. It is true. Phil Sims also said it. He said it'd be shocked if he doesn't come back. Phil Sims is still shocked that he's not the quarterback of the giants. I think, I think, I think Eli Manning is coming back, which is perfect because then they got shut out and a total stinker. Yeah. And the cowboys, yikes, that was, let's throw some, let's throw, let's throw some cold water on the cowboys hype

train. That's, that was a terrible game in Indianapolis. That's a big, not to brag, but I called it for me from last Friday. I'm not ready to totally buy him yet. Dak Prescott sucked. Oh, I mean, he's airmailing. He's, he does this thing where, um, if he has to throw a pass that's further than like, I'm going to say 12 yards downfield. Okay. He's more likely to miss the guy high by three feet than he is to hit him in the numbers. Well, here you go. Skip Bayless actually disagrees with us. He says, right now, if you made me choose, I'd take Dak Prescott over Andrew Luck on leadership, mental, physical, toughness and big playmaking. Well, mentally, I tend to agree because, uh, and toughness and

toughness, they did, they did a little, um, interview with Andrew luck before the game and he officially confirmed he was a cat guy. So that's the least surprising thing ever. He's a book guy and a cat. Yeah. I actually don't think those go together. I don't think that Andrew luck laughs or like our expresses joy verbally. I think he purrs. Yeah. I think he scratched him his little neck beard. Just read him some words. Oh, look at that architecture. That's magnificent. Good job guys. Nice. Yeah. I don't know. That was big Ben's boot. My other stat of the day. Okay. Oakland's defense, 12 sacks on the season. Khalil Mack, 12 and a half. That's a good stat too. Yikes. The Khalil Mack sat sitting on Aaron Rogers was maybe the happiest I've ever

been in my entire life. The butt sack. It really was. He was doing so fucking good that he just sacks people with his back. Yeah. Some people are calling it the, what the back sack? Yeah, the back sack. The back's back sack. I call it the butt stuff. Yeah. He kind of was just sitting on him. He's like, you know what? You guys can't block me. I'm just going to sit on him and we'll just call it again. He wiped his ass on Aaron Rodgers. He was fucking awesome. Here's my last Saturday. Are you ready for this? Yeah. Okay. Cody Kessler, nine for 17 for 57 yards. No, I'm just reading stats. Okay. I'm not pet. I'm just saying 57 yards. 57 yards, nine for 17. 57. Zero touchdowns, one interception. Can I? Great. No, he's a great. We got his back,

right? We got his back. No, this is me. That's, that's stats and aberration. He'll be better next week. If you gave me a Nerf ball, I'd throw for more than 57 yards. Well, yeah, because you can throw the shit out of me. I know an NFL game. Yeah. And if full NFL game, I actually, you know what? Fuck it. I throw them over more than 57 yards with a regular ball. If you gave me a vortex, I could absolutely throw for more than 200 yards. I could throw for more than 57 yards as a regular ball. Yeah. I would just do 500 every time. Yeah. And eventually my guy would catch it with the defense on the field. Yes. I would just take risks. I'd be a gunslinger. I just throw it every play and I would also instill confidence in my team. Yeah. Really what I just do is screen pass,

screen pass, screen pass, screen pass. I would do the thing where you can just where, where they make like a shovel passes now passing yards. I just recall those audible to those every single play tossed it directly in front of you and just be like, get me more than 57 yards so I can prove this hypothetical that we'll never be able to prove. But Cody Kessler, 57 yards. So the playoff picture, we actually didn't really learn much. I mean, the Lions were eliminated, the Packers were eliminated, the Bucks were eliminated. I'm trying to think who was eliminated from the AFC. I don't think many teams have been eliminated. The Jets are out. The Jets are out PFT. You're right. I don't think they were mathematically eliminated until, until now. I think so with

four wins. Well, they had eight losses. What? You think that, you think the 10th loss finally eliminated them? I'm just saying. No, I think there's the, it looks, it looks like the Ravens or Steelers will be the sixth seed. I'll say this about the Ravens. They're also a team that you don't want to play because nobody knows what the fuck they are. Well, they're playing, they're playing Army's offense. Lamar Jackson looks so funny when he tries to fake throw. Like it's like, dude, you're just going to run the ball. We know this. He's, he's, he'd had one play where he was running and he tried to fake throw it to get the defense off balance and he didn't even look like he was holding the ball correctly. It's like you have not thrown enough in practice to even hold the ball

like you're going to throw here. Yeah, it was pretty bad. And then they also said that RG3 has been working with Lamar on telling him like when to get down to avoid injury. Oh, that's great. So that's a really good mentor to have. Yeah, he's going to be the one to show that, uh, yeah, he's going to definitely keep Lamar Jackson. No, but you're, you're right. That's like when they bring Henry Kissinger as, as Secretary of State, like as a former one to like help educate the new person in the Department of Defense about like how to start the good wars. Yeah, how to blow up everyone. Yeah. Yeah. But make it look like it wasn't our fault. Uh, he was 14 for 23. So that's not terrible. 131 yards. A lot of bad passing in the NFL on week 15. Yes. A lot of guy,

Marriota had 88 yards. What is it? The cold weather? Just a lot of, you know, everyone gets affected by bare weather. All these, all these elite 11 passing camps are held in the south. In these case, passing, I'm going to open up a passing academy in, uh, Saskatoon. Yeah, let's do it. Up in Canada. Get them ready for you want to, you want to win the playoffs? Come see me. Come, come, come over here. Uh, all right, let's do who's back the week. Then we have our interview with Dana White, Hank being a better mood. I'm in a great mood. I don't know what you guys are talking about. Uh, Hank, let me ask you this. How's Game of Thrones going? It's incredible. I caught you on the Game of Thrones Reddit today. Yep. It's consumed my

entire life. This is Fredo Baggins we were talking about before. This is really you. This is like taking over your life. Yeah. It's a great show. Have you finished? I finished, but I'm, I'm watching again. I did it. Oh, this is, no, no, all right. Real cinephile here. People might call me a crazy person, but I pick up the Easter eggs. I started on season three. Yeah, that's crazy. But because it was so, everyone's like, it's boring, but once you get into it, you get into it. And I was like, you know what? I'm just going to, if I get into it, I get into it. I got obsessed. So now I'm finishing seasons one and two. I hate when people say that, like, hey, it's better boring for a while. It's like, hey, listen, if the show doesn't hook me in the first 15 minutes, I'm out

every time. No, but I did it the right way because now I'm watching seasons one and two and all the foreshadowing and things that happen. I understand what's going on. We should make a show. What we should do. Wait, go ahead. I was going to say we should make a show and like a Netflix show in the first 10 minutes of the entire series, like 16 people get shot. Yeah. Just violence in the head. Yeah. The show, the first, if the first thing is just, is just someone, boom, your head gets blown off. Like what the hell? This is crazy. It has nothing to do with the plot. It's actually just a remake of, uh, you know, Seinfeld, but someone dies in the first 15 minutes. You're hooked. I kind of liked that. That some sex and then maybe some talking dogs. Yeah. And some cocaine.

Yeah. Cocaine. Oh yeah. Now we're cooking. And some subtitles. Yeah. Maybe, oh, and some cartel stuff. Yeah. Just a couple of, you got to throw in the random subtitles so that you have to, it like kind of catches you like, ooh, I got to pay attention now. A shark attack. Somebody gets killed by a shark. And then, and then we can start this movie that's actually a romcom in black and white where no one speaks French. It's actually a French film. It's a French film shot in, uh, in 13 frames per second. Ooh. Yeah. That's nice. That's good stuff. That is the real good. So yeah. How was Game of Thrones? We forgot. We just kind of hijacked you answering there. Oh, it's great. Anyway, onto the, onto my who's backs of the week. I had Eli Manning,

one of my other who's backs of the week though, is assorted boxes of popcorn. Oh yeah. Very, very underrated holiday snack. The try. The try. Which, which is your favorite? Cheese. I like to, I like to go mix and match. Yeah. That's a crazy move. Anybody that eats kettle corn or the caramel corn and says that they like it, they're fucking weird. No, I'm stay away from that person. Kettle, kettle corn is. Well, kettle corn is fire. It's usually not kettle corn. I don't like the sweets. It's the caramel and then there's also the, the butter, but I like to do the mix. I like to grab it all at the same time and throw it in my mouth. I'll mix the butter and the cheddar. It's like a flavor explosion. Cause it's yellow and it's orange and those are

similar colors, but once you get the brown involved in there. No, I like to get a little sweet in there. No, I don't like it. Are you bashing kettle corn in general? No. Yeah. Cause that would have been a very bad take. I like, I like the kettle corn that's salted. I don't like any sweetness around my popcorn, but kettle corn has sweetness in it. Well, I don't like that. Okay. Well, that's a bad take. Okay. Well, you don't like it. We've just, we've just got the bottom of it. We all have bad takes. Hey, kettle corn's fire. Always has been. I had another one. I think I'm going to save it for a, I'll see you cool throne though. Just do one. Who's back the week? I'm going to respect the rules. What was your Eli Manning? Who's back? He's back. Oh, he's back.

They announced he's coming back. He is announced by Tommy Smokes. Okay. My who's back of the week is those giant puffy jackets that quarterbacks were on the sidelines. Like the ones that are three times the width of their body. Yeah. So we saw that Baker had a huge one on Saturday. Flacco was wearing one just stay warm just in case on the sidelines. Just in case. They're so awesome. They look like it's, it's like three kids that are trying to sneak into an R rated movie and a giant trench coat. That's the size of these coats that these guys, they look like members of the night's watch up on the wall. Yeah. That's what I was going to say. Is that Game of Thrones? Okay. Speaking of Game of Thrones by your, your Kings of the North

Bears championship shirts at Barstow Sports Store and club dub PFT question. What is club, club dub is the, the bears party in the locker. They party in the locker and math through every win. It's fucking awesome. PFT. They should have to put the lights on when they lose too. They do. They don't party when the, oh, you're saying they should part. They're going to be thrown on and everyone just like silently just like if you're going to put in like strobe lights and disco ball stuff in your locker, club dub is lit though. That should have to be going on when they lose. Yeah. PFT. We forgot to talk about Joe Flacco. Yeah. Let's talk about him. What about him? What about him? He's a good guy. He's wearing the big jacket. I didn't

know I already talked. No, I just talked about him a second ago. So puffy jackets are back next. So I am so, so, so excited for the team that is going to either trade for or sign Joe Flacco and be like, this is our guy. Yep. Yep. Me too. Jacksonville. Me too. Well, yeah, Jacksonville, Washington. It's going to be, it's going to be fucking hilarious to watch. Man, why, why you gotta come up with that? I'm just saying, I'm not, well, it could be great. Actually, he's, he's very old. He's looking extreme. He looks hot. No, he's hotter than he. He has a glow up. He got the glow up big time. So here's, every, every snap, he just looks so old and just, he hasn't played in like seven weeks. I know. But before that, he's rested now. He's

fully healthy. He's rested. Right now, you know what he is? He's like a good used car that doesn't have a lot of mileage on him this year. He wasn't even driven to church back and forth on Sundays because he was sitting on the bench. Okay. And then it breaks down. Actually, no, it doesn't break down. It just, it just drives, but it only drives in like 5.6 yards per catch every single time. Yes. It drives directly to its own running back out in the flat. Yeah. It drives right before the first time then breaks down every single time. It's a self-driving car that moves four yards at a time. Yes. That's great. Shout out, Elon Musk. Where would you like, where would you like to see him? I would like to actually like, he'd be pretty good in Jacksonville, I think. Yeah. I wouldn't

mind seeing him in Washington. Okay. Okay. Well, just for your own misery. Yeah. Well, it's, yeah. Well, I feel like, I feel like I could sell a lot of elite Joe Flacco t-shirts if he was in Washington. That's true. That's true. How many wins would you say right now that Joe Flacco will have as a starting quarterback in the NFL for the rest of his career? I'm a big QB wins guy. So I am too. Like it doesn't matter what team he goes to, because he's going to make whatever. Correct. QBR and QB wins, the stats I need. Honestly, the Lions. I would like to see him go to the Lions. That would be great. That would be great. Him and Matt Stafford are basically the same human. They should trade Matt Stafford. Just a straight up swap? No, just trade him for

someone who will overpay for him. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. And the Lions just rebuild with Joe Flacco. I could see him going, let's see what else. He's got that big arm. He's good in the weather. Just throw a nice spiral. Cincinnati. Okay. Actually, a straight up swap for Andy Dalton and Joe Flacco would be perfect. Well, but Joe Flacco is not a starter anymore. He would look so weird in the orange and black. Either way, I'm excited. I'm excited for the Joe Flacco new, new uniforms. He'd be like a mom, like a 55 year old mom that got like a sports car. That's what he would look like in those sleek bangles uniforms. Okay. So maybe Joe Flacco turns into a milf. Yeah. And the car still goes four yards down. Correct. Yeah. All right. What

else is your who's back? That's my only who's back. That's it. I'm just going to say that one. Okay. My who's back is college bowl season. I'm very excited. Did you guys watch any bowls on Saturday? I did not. It, I mean, they really mean nothing now with like North Texas. Yeah. And someone else. The Raycom Bowl was like Georgia Southern versus Eastern Michigan. It's just so great turning on these, these bowl games that mean nothing. They really just mean nothing except for gamblers. And also maybe I guess for the program to be like, Hey, we won the Raycom media Camilla bowl or whatever the hell it is. But bowl mania, you got to catch it every year. Listen, I, my favorite part about the bowl season is when they have the bowls that are

sponsored by like the wackest possible companies. Like one year they had one that was sponsored by a for-profit prison company. Yep. Bitcoin bowl. That was wild. Can I introduce you? Ifo Brady's. Can I get you excited for a couple of bowls we got coming up this week? The DXL Frisco bowl. San Diego state versus Ohio. Yeah. Fuck yeah. The bad, the bad boy, mowers, gasparilla bowls coming up on Thursday. Listen to this. Friday, the makers wanted Bahamas bowl at 1230 middle of the day Friday. Florida, Florida international versus Toledo, two powerhouses going up against each other. Like the winner takes all the Bahamas. One is the one that you want to go to if you're a college.

So like, what is, if you can't make it to one of the big boys, you, you aim perfectly to make it to the Bahamas. Yes. Absolutely. You've got to make it there. Is there any on Tuesday? Yeah, there is, but we'll get to that after Dana White. Let's do our interview with Dana White. And then we will talk to you about what we have planned for Tuesday.

Okay, we now welcome on recurring guest, Dana White. Let's start there actually. Do you remember us? I do, of course. I do. You do? Yeah, I thought that interview was awesome. It was fun. We told you that Dana was a chick's name.

Yeah, that's right. And that's not the first time I've heard that. Yeah, really? And it's an actual fact. Yeah. And we bash Revell. So you remember that? Yeah, exactly. I was nervous that you'd be like, who are these guys? Yeah, no, that'll make me remember you forever. Yeah, there we go. So Dana White is joining us in studio. We got a lot to talk about, catch up with. You are a recurring guest, so it's good to have you back. I want to start with the thing that you have been talking about the most recently, Ostradella weirdo. Yep. Greatest burn ever, calling him Ostradella weirdo. Another fact. Yes. What else do you say? Ostradella dum-dum? Ostradella dummy. Ostradella cokehead. Yeah. Ostradella cokehead. So what's going on with

that? You guys have a nice little beef going right now. Listen, he's an idiot. Tell me he's not an idiot. You know he's an idiot. I know he's an idiot and everybody knows he's an idiot. And he comes out and talks about things. Number one, he went on ESPN and lied. Yeah, so give us a backstory. So he's trying to get Golden Boy promotions into the MMA space. The Chocoladale fight, which I think we can all agree was bad for the sport. We actually had Chuck on beforehand, before that fight, and it looked bad. It was bad to watch him. He didn't look like he was there. Listen, at the end of the day, 50-year-olds have no business fighting. Right. I just saw this thing that he did on TMZ and he said I'd kick Dana White's ass, you know, in the ring. Well,

it makes sense. This guy likes to see 50-year-olds fight. Right. He's 45, I'm 49. So you're saying you won't fight him? No, he just said he'd kick my ass. But would you fight him in the octagon? Would I fight Oscar De La Hoya in the octagon? I'm 50 years old. 50-year-olds don't fight. Sounds like an excuse. You said a second ago, you're 49. It's not an excuse, it's a reality. Okay? The reality is, you know, you'd sell a lot of pay-per-views. I agree. If it were to happen, do you think you could beat him? Well, it depends on what does he want to do. No weight class. No weight class. Well, there'd have to be no weight class. I'm way bigger than him. Right. Although he's a little bloated these days from all the cocaine and alcohol. So maybe he'd be close to my weight. But

at the end of the day, what are we doing? Are we doing the Floyd Mayweather thing? Are we boxing? No, no, no, no. Are we doing MMA? No, he's coming into your world. Yeah. Exactly. That's a different ball. I don't think he's... Listen, I'm 49 years old to sit here and try to talk tough. Like, I'm gonna beat the shit out of the former world champion in boxing is ridiculous. I'm 49 years old. This is my whole beef with Chuck Liddell. The guy's 49 years old. 49 year old people barely get on the treadmill and walk. You're gonna be fighting, you know, in a professional fight. It's ridiculous. There's no seniors tour for him. Exactly. And there shouldn't be. You know why? Fighting is a young man's game. Yeah. Fighting is a young man's game.

There's some guys that have been able to beat time and still do well, but they're very, very few and far between. Did you talk to Chuck before that fight? Because I know you guys were close back in the day. Yeah, I talked to him before and I talked to him after. You know, obviously Liddell is a fighter to the core. It's what he loves to do. And he's a grown-ass man. He can do whatever he wants to do. But there's a reason that I asked him to retire eight years ago. You know, he started getting knocked out in his fights. His last fight, he got knocked out by 185 pound Rich Franklin. And back in the day, you could hit Chuck in the face with a crowbar and not knock him out. Right. And once you get to that point, Chuck, what do you have left to prove? Right.

You're one of the best ever. You help build this sport. You help build this brand. You've done everything that you could ever dream of. And he made a lot of money. A lot of money. And this is one of the things that De La Hoya is saying is that he made no money, which is, you know, it's one thing if you lie amongst your friends and you tell a bunch of lies, but when you go on ESPN and start just lying. Yeah. Oscar De La Hogi. Throw that one out there. Oscar De La Foni. Yeah. Oh, I like that. So he went on ESPN. He basically said that you were taking money, too much money from your fighters, right? He said, well, he said I didn't pay him. He's saying that there were situations where guys had fought and done 1.5 million buys

and made $50,000 for a title. It's a lie. That's never happened in the history of the company. Chuck didn't make any money. Chuck's last three fights, he got knocked out in his last three fights. He averaged 2.7 million a fight, even when he was on a downswing and losing. And Tito, the thing too with De La Hoya is, first of all, De La Hoya isn't very bright. Okay. He's not a bright guy. Let's start there. But he is Elon Musk compared to Tito Ortiz. And I think that he's getting a lot of this information from Tito Ortiz who is literally, and I'm not just saying this to be real, he's one of the dumbest human beings on planet earth. He's primate level, this guy. And I think that's part of the problem, too.

Wait, Austin, you think Elon Musk is really smart? Yeah, I think he's really. I do. I think he is like, what sort of theory on him that he's like a dumber version of Jeff Bezos and Jeff Bezos is controlling Elon Musk so that nobody gets woked to how evil Jeff Bezos really is. He's a genius. But sometimes when you have those guys that are geniuses, conversations like this are tougher to have. You know what I mean? Listen, this guy's sending rockets up in space and they're coming back down and landing on the friggin... They're cars. They're like what, 76 Chrysler's? Is that what he sent up there? I don't know. The problem is he keeps the guy smart. Yeah, but he keeps starting projects and not finishing them.

Yeah, actually, so we can build this tunnel. Well, we never said we're geniuses. You can take a shot. The guy's doing more shit than the three of us are doing. I can promise you that. Yeah. Oh, you're crazy. I don't know. You're crazy. These are like the guys under saying like Steve Jobs didn't really do anything. Oh, no, he obviously did a lot. Plenty of people say that, though. People shit on Jobs. What did he really do? And did he do this? And did he do that? Yeah, he's having the last laugh, though. He did some pretty good shit. Okay. Well, Elon, he did build that tunnel to his girlfriend's house. Yeah. No, he canceled it. He cancels everything. I want... Listen, I want... It's not that hard. Like, I want a hoverboard.

Well, I want... There's not many things. I want a plane that will go coast to coast in like 45 minutes. They're not that hard. These asks. And he's being like, oh, we'll go to the fucking Mars and I'll build this tunnel. It's like, shut up, dude. Just make me the things we want. A tunnel to your girlfriend's house probably seems like a good idea for a minute. Then once you start digging the things, probably like, you know what I'm... I just built this house. I move in on Tuesday. I've been building this house for two years and I was going to build a tunnel underground. Yeah. It seems like a really cool idea till you start talking to the guys. You're not doing it. What's involved and how much it's going to cost. Then reality punches you right in the face. Where's

the other side of this tunnel that you end up extradited to Manhattan? Do you have a panic room in your new house? There is. There is. Yeah, there is. It's badass too. Okay. I would imagine you're a panic room guy. Yeah. So we can spin that. We can actually... Let's just rebrand that as an apocalypse bunker. We're a big apocalypse bunker podcast. What's in your panic room? You know, nothing. It's just a room that if things went bad, my family could go in this room and I built a security system in this house like Scarface. Like, Scarface was at his peak. You know, it's like that. Okay. I like that. Yeah. Back to UFC real quick. I've always wondered, just like going through the history of the sport, who your favorite fighter is and why?

Yeah, that's a good question. There's been so many, so many guys. Obviously, if you look at the business and how we built it and the people that were around when we did it, it's hard for me not to love Forrest Griffin. Came off the first season of The Ultimate Fighter, which saved everything and launched really the sport. Chuck Liddell, who was a loyal, amazing good friend, you know, to me through the whole building of the sport. Matt Hughes, again, another loyal, good guy who helped build the sport. So to pick one specific, but then, you know, Anderson Silva, who in his prime was an absolute murderer and was doing things to people that other people couldn't do and that people couldn't stop. Right. So it's tough to

pick just one. Yeah. I know she didn't say George St. Pierre. Oh, and Ronda Rousey. Oh, yeah. Ronda Rousey for sure. One of the greatest athletes I've ever worked with in my attire career. Okay. Amazing on every level. An absolute beast. Her work level was, you know, higher than any athlete I've ever worked with. She burned the candle at both ends and was amazing for the sport. Pacino, De Niro, Dana White. Those are my three favorite actors in the world. Because when you pretend that you're upset about a Khabib McGregor brawl after or McGregor throwing stuff at a bus, it is my favorite thing that you ever do. When you put on the serious Dana White voice, you're like, this is really bad for the sport. And inside your brain, it's just dollar bills going, yep,

yep, yep, yep. So think about this. Okay. I've been doing this for 18 years. I've been flying all over the world, you know, promoting the UFC, doing all this stuff. Then I'm in a car. I just left the arena in Brooklyn and I'm driving back to my hotel. I get a call from one of my guys saying, we're being attacked. And it's Conor McGregor is attacking us. What? That doesn't even make sense. I don't even understand what you're saying. We go back and fighters are hurt and have to go off the card. Employees were there and were attacked and hit and all these other things. How could I not be upset about that? Okay. But then you use it as promo for the fight because you're the fight. I love the job you do. And I think it is like the entertainment aspect of using all these things.

Of course, you don't want anyone to get hurt, but isn't there a part of you that's like, holy shit, we're going to sell a ton of fights. So let me ask you a question. So when that happened, right? We were filming UFC embedded where we follow the fighters around. So, you know, a lot of this footage was, we had, and it was everywhere. It was everywhere. Every outlet on earth just murdered this thing and played it, right? It's part of the story. It's part of what happened. It's part of why these two are fighting and how that fight was made so fast is because that whole thing went down. How do I not tell that part of the story? Yeah, no, you have to. I think that's where you're saying though, I think that it's always, it's being a fight in the fight

promotion game, basically everything can be spun as a positive in all these situations. Like the after the could be McGregor thing, what was your initial, initial reaction like, oh, this is a, this is a shit show or man, if they ever want to fight again, this is going to be awesome. Well, here's the other thing. I have every celebrity, every big money guy, all these people at this event, and for most of them, it's their first event. And this stuff goes down. Scary to real people, to real people that aren't in the fight business. It's scary to us that have been in this forever. We run right into it and we got to stop this. That's our job. That's what we do. But for these people, this is really scary. I don't ever want a situation where people are afraid to come to one

of my live events. That's really bad for me. Number one. Now, number two, you're talking about the money that can be made off a rematch, right? First of all, we haven't even gone before the Mattis State Athletic Commission. It got postponed to January now. Now these guys have to go, they're going to get fined, they're going to get suspended. And what it really does is holds everything up. We didn't need him to jump out of the octagon to make a second big fight. That didn't need to happen. And Connor, I think you did. And Connor didn't need to throw a dolly, didn't need to throw it the first one. Their fight wasn't that great. Like McGregor was very much overmatched. And I think if you, if the fight had just ended and it could be said, okay, good,

good fight, like we're all going our separate ways. And then you try to sell number two, you're like, why would I tune into this? McGregor got his ass kicked. He had no chance. But now it's like, well, this is, we could tune in and anything could happen. I don't agree with that. Yeah, you do. I don't know. I'm smiling because this whole conspiracy theory thing that people come up with, a lot of people thought that, that it was staged. Yeah, I didn't think it was staged. The governor and Vada in the audience, right? And so they had a hard time getting that whole crew out of there. I don't believe for a second that you would have wanted something like that to happen. No way. That's not good for business. Like you said, you have to go before the board,

that whole thing. The governor called me too. The governor called me on Sunday. What was that like? You know what I mean? Not good. You never want to get a phone call from the governor. In 18 years, that's the second call I got from the governor and not for good things. It was bad. You piss off the governor. It's not good for you. Yeah. The athletic commissions, California, Nevada, New York, they're run by the government. The government runs, you know, and that's who we're, that's who we answer to. And you don't want to fuck with the government. They're the biggest gangsters on the planet, City Hall. So the final question about that whole incident, do you think you have any control over McGregor at this point? Because

it feels like he has gotten, the storyline off of that was McGregor went too far in the fight promotion, which I don't really buy because it's fight promotion. But do you feel as someone who's kind of in charge of everything that McGregor is such a wild card, you don't know what he's going to do? A, I agree with you. Number one, people were criticizing me, even the athletic commission on the way that I promoted this fight. It's a fight. Right. Since the beginning of, you know, time, fighting, you don't say nice things. Some people do the respectful, but look at what Ali used to do to Frazier, called him an uncle Tom. He pulled out a gorilla, said he looked like a gorilla and all these other things. At a time when that was like something really nasty to say

to somebody, right? It's always been that way in the fight business. Now you can criticize the way that I did it. It was part of the story. It was all over the media. It wasn't like we had this secret footage of Connor doing this. And that's what we use to do it. It was everywhere. And it was part of the story. And my job is to sell fights, right? It's one of the top five biggest selling fights ever in the history of selling fights. So tell me what I did wrong. Right. It did everything right. I mean, I think we kind of agree with you. Like we agree with, you know, you have a job to do and that's to make as much money for your company and for yourself and for the fighters as you can. Exactly. While kind of using whatever material that you're given. We just think it's funny sometimes

when you're like, Oh, no, no, I can't believe that they're throwing monster energy cans all over the way. And that was bad, too. Listen to me, you guys, you guys, oh no, you guys, we'll go in front of everyone and be like, Oh, this is so bad. What you guys don't see. Now, Connor got sued for that. Connor got sued. One of the people in there sued him. And you get to a point where if enough of this shit happens, MGM is not going to want you back there. Okay. So John Jones and Cormier got in a fist fight in the lobby. Yes. While people are checking into their hotel. Very good. That's not good. No, I agree. In selling fights, like people are like, Woo. But in the big picture of the sport, you know what I mean? We just did a deal with ESPN. You can't be acting like a bunch

of jackasses. I guess people don't let anybody on TV. You guys are a total conspiracy theorist. No, we're absolutely wrong on this one. Okay. So you just said it, though. Do you feel like McGregor? Do you not have control over what he does? So that part of it. Yeah. So Connor is actually a smart kid. You know, he's a smart kid. He's very smart with business and the promotion and a lot of things that he does, but he gets out of hand sometimes. He gets wild. And yeah, he's a little hard to contain. The biggest thing about Connor is getting him somewhere on time. Right. We have television networks shooting this thing and all this other stuff. And he's on McGregor time. Right. That's my biggest problem with Connor. Okay. It's just punctuality.

Yes. And obviously some of the other crazy throwing monster cans and dollies and things like that are never good either. You heard me start yelling when he started it. Don't you throw that fucking can. He's the greatest actor of all time. Yeah. Throw some fucking plastic water. Don't disrespect his monster. Do not throw monster cans. Do you ever get nervous in the way in when guys get going and you're in the middle of it? Are you going to catch one? No. I've caught plenty. You know, that's my job is to make sure that these guys don't touch each other before the fight. The worst one ever. I just did. Oh God, who was it was? It was the Black Beast. Derek Lewis and Oh, Oh, Volkov, the Russian. He knocked his hat off and literally I went to

there was no stopping these two. These two started going. They, they, they, they, they killed me. Right. Yeah. I'm caught in the middle serious type of question here. There are a lot of different, I want to say like competitors to UFC. They keep popping up. They want to be competitors. Who'd we have in that seat a while ago that was doing a weekend tournament at MSG? Oh, it was a Randy Couture. Yeah. Couture. So, so you've got all these different. Ruff and Rowdy. Yeah. Yeah. Ruff and Rowdy. It's our fight company. Yeah. Fight company. It should be on the map. Yeah. It should definitely be on the map. It's my little promoting. Yeah. But you've got all these kind of like upstarts and a lot of competition to UFC. A lot of which are branding themselves as

like more fighter friendly or saying like, okay, the fighters get a bigger cut of the pie. How are you like responded? Have you changed anything that you do in terms of UFC? It's absolutely false. Listen, in a history of me doing this, I've never had a problem signing a fighter and getting a fighter over with me and staying with me. So if, if other people were more fighter friendly, we're paying more money, we're doing these things. Believe me, fighters would be jumping out head first, you know. It's all, it's all, it's all bullshit. Okay. Bullshit. I don't know the facts to bet. How about Brock Lesnar? There's no guy, there's no guy in the history of the company that is more on top of his business and what he's going to do. Brock Lesnar, every time he leaves the WWE comes

back here. Yeah. You know what I mean? That's true. It just seems like the companies are brand, that's like their go to brand is like John Jones. Yeah. He's been with me his entire career. Chuck Liddell was with me his entire career. Anderson Silva has been with me his entire career. The list goes on and on. Name all the guys, all the big names, all the world champions. You know how many people get in these guys ears? You're not making enough. You should be doing this, you should be doing that. But who really does anything? These guys are all a bunch of talk. You know what I mean? I don't talk. I literally, I literally provide and do what I say I'm going to do. And if I tell you, we're going to get this TV deal. We get it. We're going to do this on

pay per view. We do it. You're going to get paid this, they get paid. And you've never, ever had a fighter come out and say, yeah, they didn't pay me what they were supposed to pay me, or they didn't pay me on time, or they didn't do this. We pay our bills. We overpay every fight that every fight of the fights in the UFC, we've paid them more money than they were contracted to make. So it's easy to come in here and I'm doing an upstart and I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. Where are you? I've been here for 18 years. All the best are with me. Can I give you a little, just a little heads up, there might be something to watch out for out there. Yup. Just like billionaires and oligarchs that just finance private parties in their

backyards for other super rich people. And they're like, Hey, we're going to have GSP fight Anderson Silva and just, it'll be like a closed invite. That's something you should watch out for. You think that doesn't happen? I mean, if you look at us right now in the Middle East and in Russia, there's so much money over there. It's, it's, it's insane. And these people are huge, huge mixed martial arts fans, right? They could do it. They think they could do that. But they don't that the fighters, the fighters, if you're a fighter, you want to, you want to, you want to be in a place where you have security, you know, you're going to get paid, you know, how much you're going to pay, you're going to pay it on time and all these other

things. Plus you're going to fight in front of as many people as possible. You know, that's part of your legacy. If you, if somebody wants to pay you $15 million to fight in some shitty show somewhere or in a backyard, just for like one sheik's private thing, who's going to see it, just for like his family, who's going to see what you did and what you've accomplished. And it's about now, now with this ESPN platform, we, we, we, what we do in the next five years for the brand, for the sport and for the fighters, it's going to be insane. So are all the fights going to be, so non-paper views will be on the ESPN plus app? Well, it'll be on ESPN, ESPN2, and on, on ESPN plus. Okay, nice. So, and if you look back, one more thing, just to say,

if you look back at anything that I've ever said publicly in the last 18 years, everything that I've said has happened. We've accomplished everything we ever said we would do. And even after this, we sold, they asked me to stay on, right? All the talk again. I was first reported by Ravel. That's right. Yes. And all the talk again was, that's it. The UFC peak, that's never going to be, they overpaid. They're never going to get a TV deal. Fox doesn't want them. This, that, boom, $1.5 billion deal with ESPN. Shut the fuck up. That must feel pretty awesome. That must feel pretty awesome. I mean, everything we've ever done, we said we would do, we've done. Okay. So let's get to the real reason you're here. You're here to announce Daniel Cormier

versus John Jones next spring. Do you want to talk about that at all? Yeah, let's talk about it. Okay. John Jones is actually fighting December 29th in Las Vegas, right? Okay. Against Alexander Gustafson, his toughest fight to date in his entire career. So we'll see what happens in that fight. And, and Cormier wants that fight again. We had him in here before his fight against the black beast at Madison Square Garden. We asked him about it. He's like, if you walked down the street and saw him, he'd like, I'd fade him on site. Like I'd fight him right wherever I see him. So that's the real angle. Cormier is awesome. That's really bad for the brand, guys. You don't want guys to hate each other. But that is true. You don't want those

guys fighting in the street. If they're going to fight, it's going to be in the octagon. They're survivors and bystanders. Are you worried at all though about John Jones being able to, because I mean, everyone wants to see that fight again, but we've seen it and the things that have happened after have kind of taken away from it. It has. Think about, if you look at how good John Jones is, and if he had his personal life together, what a big star he'd be right now and how much money he would have made, he, you know, he would have been the LeBron of this sport. Yeah. Yeah. So you think are you feeling, have you been in contact with him like daily? You think he's ready to go in January? We haven't talked daily, but we've talked a few times during this camp and he seems like

his head is in the right place and, but you never know with him. I'll believe it when he's in the octagon fighting Gustafson. Yeah. Okay. Awesome. Yeah. All right. I have one last question. It's a Seeky question put in promo code take. Go see a UFC fight. You can go see a UFC fight if you put in promo code take $10 off. It's kind of a serious question. Are you worried at all about fatigue of the UFC? Cause it feels like there's a lot of paper views and the one thing I, you know, I'm not a diehard UFC fan. I am a casual fan. I love watching the big fights. Um, if it's on, I'll watch it. Yeah. But to me, the, the biggest problem you guys have is that it's such a competitive sport and the champions don't stay champions long enough to become like even Connor McGregor,

people think that he's like the most accomplished UFC fighter of all time. And like, no, he's not. He's just a great promoter. So are you worried at all about that? You have three folks. Dana has three phones. He just asked for his phone. He's got three phones. So three phones. Adam Schefter over here. He has three phones. People always ask me. They're like, why you need three phones? No, they don't ask me that. Which one's the burner? None of them are burners. Oh, okay. They're got it. They're all in play. It keeps the burner on. So everybody always asks me, um, you know, these questions like, do you think you have too many fights? Do you think that, you know, there's too many paper views. Uh, people won't know, uh, when fights are on or

where they are and all this other stuff. First of all, if you put on great fights between the best talent in the world, okay? Um, people are going to watch people are going to tune in. We just had a fight. You're, you're a casual. So, you know, you probably didn't watch this. We were just in Toronto. Yep. Sold out. And, uh, we had almost 20,000 people in the building there, right? Uh, Ortega fought Holloway. One of the sickest fights you will ever see. It was incredible. And there was another fight on that card that was unbelievable. The card was great, right? And the reality is everybody watches fights. Right. And if you keep putting on good talent, anybody will. So hold on. What do you got? Oh, okay.

This is phone number. Mr. White. This is Molly Michael calling from President Trump's office. President was hoping to reach you by phone when you're available. That's pretty awesome. So, wait, wait, wait, play the number that you call out. Exactly. So, so he calls me on Tuesday, right? For 15 minutes, he couldn't stop talking about the fight. Greatest fight I've ever seen in my life. Donald Trump. Oh, yeah. You realize he did streamed it too. He didn't fight. Yeah. He's fucking illegal. Greatest fight I've ever seen. You know, he's talking about how tough, you know, Holloway and Ortega both are. And he's going off about the fights and Tiago Santos, he couldn't believe that fight. It was incredible and all this stuff. As human beings, we love fighting.

Yeah. No, it's true. It just is. But what about, so, uh, I can't remember. It was Blackbees versus, who was it, Tyrone Woodley? The fight where they just didn't fight? No, what was the fight? No, no. That was Francis and Ganya. Yeah. Yeah. How mad does that make you? Would guys get in the ring? And that was the worst fight I've seen ever. Right. I just stood there and like padded each other. I wasn't thrilled about that fight. Yeah. So, what do you do? Do you suspend a guy like that? No, no. So, here's what happens. So, you have a card where we have, you know, 12 to 13 fights a card. And no matter how good the fighters are, no matter how good the matchup is, you cannot guarantee that it's going to be the best fight you've ever seen. Yep. That's why we stack the card.

Because what I really sell at the end of the day is on Saturday, you have to either take your girlfriend or your wife out. You have to, you know, maybe a new movie came out that you want to see. I compete with so many different things on Saturday night, but I have to give you two or three holy shit moments. Right. During the night. Right. Where you literally jump out of your seat and go, holy shit, that just happened and everybody that's there gets into it. That is what I do for a living. And when you stack the card with enough great fights and enough great talent, you're going to get those. It's like the Super Bowl, right? The Super Bowl isn't necessarily the greatest football game you've ever seen, you know, but you'll have a couple moments during the game

and everything and it's entertaining and it's something to do with a lot of people. That's, that's what I do for a living and that's what I deliver. Right. You're in trouble when people start changing the channel from a pay-per-view that they've purchased. Exactly. And with a fight like that, yeah, I can imagine why that would piss you off a little bit. But you're not going to, there's no way that you can. So I'm the bells and whistles guy. I put on all the, you know, the promotion and all this other stuff. I sell you and tell you why you have to watch this fight on Saturday night. As soon as that door closes into the octagon, everything is out of my hands. Right. It's up to the fighters. And one of the reasons that we are as big as we are and we've

been the fastest growing sport for so many years is because these guys deliver. Yeah. These men and women get in there and they deliver. You guys faster growing than lacrosse? A little bit. Yeah. That's a tough look for a stats department over there. Oh, I do have one last question. We're good friends with John Annick. What was his new contract? Because he owes us like 5% of that. Oh, does he really? I like it. Yeah. I'll get the numbers for you. Okay. Oh, 40 or 10%. Let me text a few people. What do you do with your chargers? I have a charger that looks like an octopus. Do you have a surge protector that you have to carry with you? I have a follow-up question about the Donald Trump call. Did he offer you the position of chief

of staff? He did not. No. Would you accept if he offered? Absolutely. You'd have to wear a collar. That would suck. No, I'm sure you could wear your Ed Hardy t-shirts and that would be fine. Trump would be cool with that. If you look back at some of those pictures, you're like, what the fuck was I wearing? I did not wear Ed Hardy ever. But yeah, the affliction days were bad. The affliction days were bad. It was so funny you just said that to me because we were looking, we were doing all these documentaries about the UFC. They have all these old pictures that come up. Affliction, horrible those days. And the, God, what were those genes that everybody designs and shows? The horseshoes and stuff. The horseshoes. What was the horseshoe? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know

what you're saying. What is it? True religion. Oh, yeah. Oh my God. I see the true religion genes and all that stuff and like, shoot me. That's what you should do as you're marketing. Like, hey, look, I survived true religion. I survived affliction. I'll be here forever. That's right. What I got to do is find somebody really good at photoshopping and going in there and throwing some different clothes. Yes. Yes. All right, Dana White. Thank you so much for curing guests. Yes. Appreciate it. Always fun. Thanks so much. Happy holidays, guys. That interview with Dana White was brought to you guys by Bud Light. New Bud Light Lime and Orange are out right now.

Okay, let's get to some segments. First up, we teased it before the Dana White interview, but Tuesday night, we have a bowl game. You may remember that bowl game because we once sponsored it. It is the, what is the sponsor now? I'm pulling it up. It is the Cherry Bundy Boca Raton Bowl. UAB vs Northern Illinois. It's going to be a great affair and more importantly, at halftime, we're going to, what are we going to do, PFT? We're going to give out the most prestigious award in the history of college football. Oh, you mean the Heisman? No, not the Heisman. The Lowman trophy. Oh, the most prestigious award. The most. That's right. What is the Lowman? The nation's greatest fullback. Fuck yes. There has never been a trophy in the history of college

football dedicated to the position of the fullback. A very underserved community and population, but we're fixing that a part of my take. We've actually put together an awesome coalition, a committee. I'll run through the names again of who's on it. It's Anthony Sherman. You might recognize, they call him the Sausage. He's on the Chiefs. We've got Danny Vitale. We've got Aaron Ripkowski on there. We've got Jacob Hester on there. We've got Vonte Leach on there. We've got John Kuhn on the committee. Are these names getting you off? So those are the fullbacks that we have. Then obviously, I get a vote. You get a vote. And actually, no, we're going to give Hank's vote to Tom Fresneli. Oh, they give a vote to just anyone. Just anyone

these days, right, Hank? Yeah. Yeah. So Tom's getting your vote. My favorite college football writer, Tom Fresneli, gets a vote. So he gets a vote. I wasn't mean. I just had a guy with a cartoon avatar at it. You know, inherently, I didn't take too seriously. No, that's a lot. That's a lot. Sorry. We tried to give Thomas a vote, and then we just are re-litigating Hank just taking shots at him. You should always, yeah, listen, a cartoon avatar. Where does that stand in your power rankings of avatars over a guy getting arrested wearing a Tom Brady jersey? Oh, right below the guy wearing a big fishy cot. Yeah. Yeah. Holding that. A lot of people have got arrested for Tom Brady. That's a common avatar. Or just a guy wearing a 12, just the 12 jersey that you see everywhere.

Tom Brady stands. I still think number one in my heart is always guy who updates his team's record in his Twitter. Oh, that is by far the best. I mean, when I did it for, it was the most I've ever felt alive when I did that last year for Jay Cutler. Yeah, it's so great. It felt so good. So yeah. Well, you know what is another great avatar? When it's a guy and a girl together, because it's always the guy's Twitter account. You'll never see a girl whose Twitter profile is her and a guy. Yeah. It's always the dude trying to flex. Yes. Yes, that's true. All right. So Tom has a vote. So Tom's got a vote. He's actually a great college football writer. And we've tabulated the votes. I'm not going to announce the winner, but I am here to announce the three finalists.

Oh, we want to do three finalists? Let's announce three finalists right now. All right. And then you'll have to tune in at halftime. We're going to go live stream for the winners. So give us two finalists. The finalists. The three finalists for full back of the year in college football. You ready? Okay. Cullen Glaspia from Texas A&M. Yep. Troy Carter from LSU. Tori. Tori Carter. Yep. I'm Lystexic. Tori Carter from LSU. Okay. Ben Mason from Michigan. Odds on favorite there. Those are the three. So we'll have only I know the winner highlight package. We will have an announcement. We will have pigs in a blanket. Yeah, we're going to have tons of pigs in a blanket. We said we're going to do appetizers. I'm going to get a couple bags of soda. Yeah,

we're going to get some bags of soda and we're going to have our low man, the first annual low man trophy award presentation brought to you by Pardon My Take. Yes, we should eat low main. That's true. Well, we do too. Okay. So just had Chinese food tonight. Corn dogs, low main. Just had Chinese food tonight. And bags of soda. Did you hear what I said? Yeah, but I mean, come on. You know that we can't have Chinese food again. You really don't like Chinese food. You're going to say this straight face and tell me don't eat Chinese food. I love it, but you know that we have a very well ordered part of my favorite restaurant. We have a very secure rotation. We eat Chinese food, buffalo wings, pizza, Chinese food, buffalo wings, pizza,

and then repeat. You're the core forever. Yes, your core. It's coming up. It's coming up. I'm actually very nervous about it. All right, let's do some more segments. We have a new one, new segment alert. Hank, hit that new segment sound. Do it. Do it. Do the fucking new segment sound. A cat. That was a cat. Two cats. That was a Todd Gurley segment. Okay, so new segment alert. It is what the fuck is Mike Tomlin saying? So we've actually, we've been sniffing around this for a while, but Mike Tomlin is the king of quotes that really don't mean anything. They make you say, oh, that's actually really profound. And then as you, as he walks away, you're like, wait, fuck. That made no sense. It's just like a football guy, speaking spell. Yeah, he just

makes no sense. So he had two, two after the Patriots game. The first one was, we like to believe that we are the common denominator in all stories involving us. Fact. Fact. Yeah. I was trying to figure out, I was like, wait, so you're just, he, what Mike Tomlin is saying is he's the star in the movie about Mike Tomlin. Yeah. Yeah. The Steelers are in the Truman show right now. Yeah. And they're the, they, they are part of everything, all stories involving them. Exactly. He's Jim Carrey. If you're trying to tell a story about the Steelers, you can't do it without Steelers. That's very true. So there it is. His thing that he's saying is just like, we are who we are. Right. Which is another great Mike Tomlin quote. That's another one. Yeah. Yeah. You know,

there's actually like a mental illness that people have where they think that they're in the Truman show. It's a serious like mental condition. I didn't, but yeah. It's called like five people. It's called watching the Truman show in the first five minutes after you're like, oh, fuck, I'm taking a piss. What if that was me? Yeah. And then the second one, go ahead. That quote reminds me of the Teddy Roosevelt man in the arena. Yeah. So basically, if anybody ever wants to just say like, haters are going to hate, but they want to say it in a funny way, or I guess not funny, but in like a very profound way, they just quote Teddy Roosevelt's man in the arena speech where they're like, you're not in the arena. It's easy for you to judge me.

It's essentially, you can just also quote Warren Sapp going at Mike Sherman saying, put a jersey on. Yeah. Put a jersey on. Put a jersey on is the man in the arena speech. Greatest, greatest moment. Yeah. Put a jersey on. And then he also had this. Sometimes you got to cut your eyelids off in order not to blink. Yeah. That seems very extreme, but it makes sense. Like if you don't want to blink, just cut those eyelids off. You can't blink without eyelids. Your eyes are going to get very dry and probably fall out of your skull in a matter of minutes. But for a few minutes there, you won't be blinking. That's right. It's severely debilitate yourself longterm to make yourself tough in the short term. Right. Exactly.

Which I guess is kind of football in general, right? Yeah. So Mike Tommen, what the fuck are you saying? I love these quotes, but yeah, what are you saying, man? It dawned on me earlier today that we don't talk about Mike Tomlin the same way we discussed Jason Garrett, but they're the same person on the sidelines. Yeah. They don't talk. Nope. You will never catch Mike Tomlin speaking on the sidelines. He just stares. He doesn't do the clapping. I think just his balls are clapping together underneath his pants. Yeah. Well, no, I don't know about that. They don't make plays that are like, you know, as crazy. They're not doing Doug Peterson. You want Philly Philly? Right. I think, okay. So when one of his defensive coaches runs out into the

field and hits somebody, then he stares at the cameras and nuts just clap together. Mike Tomlin and Jason Garrett are the dogs sitting in the fire saying, this is fine at all times. They love to just stand on the sidelines and say to themselves, well, this time it's got to be different. Like we're doing the exact same thing we've done since the beginning of time, but this time it's going to work. And then days like today happened where it actually did work, and that basically gave Mike Tomlin like a 10 year extension in Pittsburgh. Oh yeah, this was a statement in one form. This was a career defining one. Yeah, by far. Do you see what happened after the game with Juju? No. So Juju, after the final whistle. It's a hard J

using. He goes, Juju, you say it. You should say it. Okay. That person goes up to Bill Belichick after the game and they exchanged pleasantries. He tweeted out, crazy to have coach Belichick, a legendary coach I've watched my whole life come up to me after the game and tell me he respects my game and how I play. And then a bunch of mind blown emojis. Whoa. So yeah. Did they really talk for that long? Or was it just like a handshake? They talked long enough for him. He said just those words and that's it. Yeah. Either way, either way, either Bill Belichick really likes Juju or he's just saying this to get under Mike Tomlin's skin because Mike Tomlin's going to read this. He's going to get pissed off. Yeah. He's going to come out with a crazy quote.

He's going to be like, listen, Juju, sometimes you got to cut your ears off to drown out the noise. Yeah, exactly. Hey, listen, Juju, sometimes you got to not listen to anyone if you want to hear everyone. Listen, Juju, sometimes you got to stick a lit candle up your ass if you want to breathe fire. There you go. It's exactly right. Mike Tomlin. What the fuck are you saying? New segment alert. Hit it again. All right. We have maybe the greatest PR 101 of all time. PR 101, our friend Marlins Man. So on Friday, we had, this was a close one, huge news break, huge news. Marlins Man tweeted out, so I am putting this out there before someone accuses me of hiding it. 2019 is the 100th anniversary of MLB Black Sox scandal. And yes, Arnold Rostin

was a relative. His sister, Edith Rostin, married Henry Lustig, owner of Long Champs Restaurant. His niece, my mom, is Janet Lustig. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. This is like when they do their celebrity ancestry things and they discover that like one person owned the other person's family as slaves back in the 1800s. So his, his great, so his mom's sister, holy shit. I don't even know, it's like so far, his, his sister, he was married, I don't know if I can look at him the same way. So his, his, his great, his great aunts, his great aunt, his sisters with Henry, I don't even know. But either way, this was big news and you might say to yourself, hey, Marlins Man, what the fuck, dude? Like no one gives a shit, man. Like this is so stupid. You're just making it about yourself.

No. You know what happened? He actually had to do this because someone, he said this is a quote, someone yesterday asked for money to not expose me and not ruin his good name. So I decided to just put it out there to neutralize the whole thing. It's the Kevin Hart situation. It was 100 years ago. Where Kevin Hart was accused of infidelity. He just put it out there himself. Yeah. Rather than deal with somebody, try to, try to ring him for money. How much money do you think this guy was going to get out of Marlins Man? I don't know, but plot twist, ready for another plot twist? Marlins Man has actually talked about it openly on many occasions. How come there's no controversies page on his Wikipedia? Well, a few years ago, it was a few years ago, 2015.

Can somebody add this to a controversy page on Marlins Man's Wikipedia? Yeah. We thought because it hadn't been talked about in a while. Now people with the 100th anniversary coming up, we're going to be start, we're going to be coming after Marlins Man. People are going to be going to the documents. Calling it. Hey, man, I need this. I need, I'm going to expose you. I just want it on the record that Marlins Man, I'm going to speak on behalf of Marlins Man, if that's okay for a second. With the 100th anniversary coming up, Marlins Man, our friend, will be available for all interview requests. Please reach out to Hank and he will set that up. Yeah, Hank will take care of it. Hank will take care of all of Marlins Man's

interviews for the 100th anniversary. And if there's a 30 for 30, Hank can also set that up. I like this trend of just like going, it's taking one step further, going back and deleting all your problematic old tweets. Yeah. Going out and talking about, you know, what your great grandmother's nieces. No, no, no, no, not great grandmother. Great, great aunts. That would be way too close of a relative. Great aunts. By marriage. By marriage, second, once removed. Yeah. But you'd already talked about it. But people were, yeah. Go back and everybody get their clean slate going. Yeah, let's get it. Yeah, clean slate it. I have something to say. Yeah. My great, this is serious. My great uncle's name was Hitler. No, my, wait, hang on. How is this?

My MPFD, that's fucked up. My great uncle's wife, her cousin was married to Calvin Coolidge. Whoa. So I'm sorry. Are you talking about, are you talking about Calvin Coolidge? Oh, no, no, sorry, no, no, no, not, no, not Calvin Coolidge. You talking about chicken in the pot? No, wait, that's Herbert Hoover. Oh, it was chicken in the pot. So I would like to say, damn, I'd like, before anybody accuses me of tanking the stock market in 1929. Yep. I'm sorry. I'm getting out in front of it. I fucked up. That was such a great slogan to run on, chicken in every pot. Yeah. Let's do it. Let's put chicken in every pot. A nug in every bowl. Yeah, let's go. You want the chicken in the pot, Hank? You looking at me? Which

would you rather have a chicken in a pot or a nug in a bowl? Chicken. Or a flashlight on your dick. Chicken. Okay. A dick in every flashlight. Yeah. That sounds like some 4chan stuff that we can run for president of that. Yes. I don't even know what it is. We're getting into the deep web right now. No, we love A, we love you. I love you. All the listeners out there, love them. All right. So we have, listen, we're horny too, 4chan guys. So like, it's cool. We're like, we're making fun of you for that. We get it. We also, we also, we're all, we're all, we're all horny here. Everyone's horny. Yeah. It wasn't meant to be Hank loves Game of Thrones. Cut this whole part. Before we do our Monday reading, Hank

hot in the streets, Hank, what is going on with Offset? So Cardi B was huge breaking, like everyone was freaking out because she was headlining, rolling loud. First woman ever to do it. Where's rolling loud? It's been around since 2015. Where? Oh, wow. Okay. Very. Where is it? It was in California. An institution. Is that, is that a play on ecstasy? It's a plan weed. Yeah. Rolling loud. Yeah. No, that loud. Another round. Loud is weed. So when you're rolling loud, you're rolling. But if you're rolling on Molly, are people doing Molly there? Probably. Okay. It's a music festival. All right. Anyway, Offset came out surprised her, tried to make a whole speech to get her back. She really was not having it whatsoever.

She wasn't feeling it. Wasn't feeling it. He tweeted after he said, all my wrongs been made public. I figure it's only right that my apologies are made public too. A guy was just trying to dot, dot, dot. Oh, fuck. And he said, thank God, he said, thank God, I ain't got no balloons. Sheesh. He said sheesh. Yeah. Now, he also came out on stage and he said, I'm sorry, bro. Yeah. That was his apology. Yeah. I watched that video. It was cringe worthy. Whoever's telling Offset this was a good idea. Like that was a really bad idea. Well, so in his mind, since he fucked up publicly and embarrassed her publicly, he wants to apologize and embarrass her a second time publicly by interrupting a really big

moment in her career. That's smart. So it's basically like the end of a star's born. Yeah. Where he, no, don't. Okay. Okay. Well, hopefully it's not like the end. That's how I'm getting, I'm talking about before the end where he fucks up. Does Offset have a dog? That's it. This is important. Okay. Probably. Where do they go from here? Did Cardi B, I hope Cardi B says hell no Offset. They're probably going to get back together. She said, she, because they have the kid together said a lot. I see a lot of people bash me because they feeling, because I'm defending my baby father. They're thinking I'm going to get back together with him. I'm not saying I'm going to

get back together with him, but because like they have a baby together, no one can love their baby the way a father can love their facts. Well, Russell Wilson. That's true. Yeah. That's true. He did come to his futures kid a lot more. He dad cucked the shit out of him. Probably gonna, probably gonna get back together. Probably going to put a song out. I love Cardi B by the way. Every time she does one of her Instagram like press conferences, it's must watch. Well, isn't that convenient? That's her, right? Yeah. I love her. We've been down that road. Careful. Why? No, I'm just saying careful. Why do you think, do you think I can't handle Cardi B? Careful, Michael Scott. I can handle Cardi B. Do that. Do that impression again. Well,

isn't that convenient? Okay. All right. Let's do our Monday reading. Do you want to read it? You want me to read it? All right. Go ahead. All right. So this is from the New York Post. The title of this article will really say it all. Lenny Dykstra reveals his new life as an amateur Torah scholar. Oh, so Lenny Dykstra is, well, that starts out by saying a rabbi and Lenny Dykstra walk into an east side wine shop. That's the start of the most racist joke ever. Yes. In fact, it happens nearly every Wednesday afternoon as the bad boy former Met attends Torah study in the basement of ambassador's wine shop where rabbi Shmil Metzger Shmil leads a group over red wine and coach the pizza. Maybe you should

have just done this. I'm on a spiritual journey. Dykstra 55 who was raised Christian in Southern California told the Post. I'm trying to find if God exists. I want to deal with people who are smarter than me. Okay. So Lenny could just walk outside. Yeah. But stop here for a second. This is the greatest story of all time. Lenny Dykstra's pursuit to find God. How is this not a Netflix documentary? How is this would be the most watched thing of all time? Lenny Dykstra just walking around the world looking for God. It would be amazing. And trying to get it in the slot. It would actually be way, way better. It would be what Bill Maher wanted his religion documentary to be. Yes. Yes. Where he tried every religion. Yeah. It'd be like a New Age dogma. I never watched

that movie. But were my close? Yeah. Very close. Okay. So yeah. Instead of Anthony Bourdain doing his thing, RIP Anthony, just replace whatever he did with Lenny Dykstra doing the same thing, meeting people. Yeah. And just trying to fuck him probably. Right. Just yeah. Either fuck him or like get in some kind of altercation that he could maybe sue them for. Or figure out like what derivatives of which plants in which countries make the best drugs. Yes. And then try to fuck him on the drugs. Exactly. Exactly. Okay. A few weeks ago Dykstra invited the Post to tag along to Metzger's discussion on Joseph, the slave who became a leader from the book of Genesis, story of a triumph over circumstance in which to which the retired athlete can relate.

Mostly he pointed out because Joseph wasn't prison. Perfect. Now we got the common ground. Yep. Lenny was also in jail. Yeah, Lenny wasn't. So they have a lot in common. Throughout the class he scribbled notes and musings on the size of Joseph's manhood, as well as how he wasn't hindered by defeat. Dykstra also wrote down a quote from the book Moneyball in which fellow former Met Billy Bean said that Dykstra had no concept of failure. Okay. So he's writing about himself. All right. So and what we're doing here is we're painting a picture that Lenny Dykstra is sitting in a wine bar reading about the Torah making dick jokes. Yes. I am sold. Yes, absolutely. But after one of the studies, six attendees finished. Can you

imagine just attending Torah study and Lenny Dykstra shows up and starts talking about Joseph's cock? Yeah. It's just like, Hey, this guy must be fucking hung like a horse. Okay. Well, no, he's got the he's got the tongue. Yeah. Lenny Dykstra loves to talk about true. He's mouth game. Best pussy eater in the world. Yeah. Big time. Biblical. He's a biblical pussy eater. Yeah. Him and Junior Soprano. Yep. But after one of the studies, six attendees, but he did shoot Tony. So it's fun stuff. But after one of the studies, six attendees finished a soliloquy on Joseph's isolation. Dykstra looked up from his paper. You lost me, lady. Still no one balked. Not even when he suggested Joseph likely pleasureed himself a lot in jail. Yeah, he did. That's probably true.

Yeah. He probably jerked off a lot in jail. Yeah. Now we're getting out now. This is great because he is he is everyone can talk. They're like doing a round table. I assume talking about Joseph and the lessons he learned and then they get to Lenny. He's like, this guy, he was in jail. Let me tell you, he probably jerked off all the time in jail. Here's how it goes down in jail. I lost my teeth and became the most popular guy in that prison, if you know what I'm saying. So they say we enjoy his company and he's a great guy. A lot of fun. We can handle his unsavory language, said Metzger of Dykstra, who has no plans to convert to Judaism. So Lenny's not going to convert. He's just he's just showing you know what it is? He found out that they serve wine.

Yeah. He's like Manushevitz and it's free. He found he found not only wine, but he also found a new audience for his dick jokes. Exactly. Yeah. Oh, plot twist. This sucks. Adam Taksen, a three-time Jeopardy champ and a Philadelphia based attorney who helps ghost write Dykstra's Twitter account. What? How horny is that guy? That's not Dykstra. Yeah. It did like get into the to the nails state of mind on Twitter. Just talking about everyone's slot every day. He's probably just popping Viagra and drinking Mad Dog. What a Twitter account to ghost write for Jesus. Okay. So here's where it gets very interesting. I like when they talk about

Lenny's future plans that they have here. Dykstra divorced since 2009 and with three grown sons has a lot on his mind and a lot on his plate. In June he was busted for alleged cocaine and meth possession and for making terroristic threats by menacing an Uber driver. It's a joke. They misled the grand jury, he said of prosecutors. It will be resolved quickly. He told the post of two business plans he's working on, a betting service where retired players are the handicappers. Okay. That's that exists. As somebody who could use, I would love Lenny Dykstra to set the lines for the game. He would never lose. He'd never lose. That's true. He would never lose. He would lose one time. One time. He's lost one time.

So that's one and his other business plan is a secret idea for the ride sharing industry that he said would give more power to the drivers. So he's just going to. So what? So this sounds like just Uber where the drivers have weapons. Yeah, where they can kick the shit out of you. Where they have a gun. Yeah. If you're too drunk, they will beat the fuck out of you. Yeah. Okay. I'm sold. So strapping your Uber, having your Uber drivers strapped to the Colt 45. Mm hmm. And you gotta read that quote from it. Which I want to be the guy who is going to sue Uber for a hundred million dollars or make them a hundred million. That's a power move right there. He's saying, he's putting his nuts on the table to Uber and saying, you get, listen, we can

do this one of two ways. Easy way. Easy way. Easy way where you let me make you a hundred million dollars on the hard way where I sue you for a hundred million dollars for having me arrested when I pulled my gun on your driver and was high as fuck in the back seat. Yes. And did I mention that I actually am in pursuit of God. So if you would like him to be an Uber driver, future Uber driver, he can control his own power and all his own, his own financial independence. Okay, here's the idea. Okay, it's Uber, but the drivers just jacking off the whole time while he drives you. That's sold. That's sold. Done. And he's wearing just a like cloak. So he's got that like heavenly spirit. Yeah. And if, if he, if you can get your destination before he finishes, the ride's

free. Oh man, Lenny. All right. So Lenny's, uh, he's going to find God. I'll tell you what, if there's anyone who would find God, Lenny's, Lenny's at the top of my list of guys who could find God. Oh yeah. I'm sure he's found God a few times, but then he gets drunk and loses them. But he'll find him again. Yeah. He'll get him back. So Lenny, good to, good to hear from Lenny. That was in the end, that was in the New York post and, uh, we, we are doing Monday readings, hopefully every Monday. We started it like about four months ago as a new segment, new segment alert. Um, but with football season, we got off it for a little bit, but we're back. And if you see anything, if you see a ridiculous article, if you see someone

getting cucked, if you see Lenny Dykstra searching for God in a Torah study in Manhattan every day, every week, if you see any of these stories, send them to us. We'll do Monday readings. We should go. We should go to one of those. Yes. Yeah. As just observers as journalists. Well, we can laugh at the dick jokes. Of course. Yeah. I'll make a film. Yeah. Well, we'll see. We'll feel it out first. There might be only one. It might be like, Hey, like this guy brings a wine. Yeah. This guy brings the Yarmulke's. Lenny brings the dick jokes. Yeah. Know your role. It'll very quickly just turn into like a comedy seller type situation. Jesus Christ. All right. That's our show. Who do we got Wednesday? What are we going to say? Who got Wednesday?

Who got Wednesday? We got some options. We don't know. Yeah. We got some options. Hall of Famer. Yeah. Hall of Famer. Hall of Famer on Wednesday. Get excited. See you then. Love you guys. Oh Oh It's part of my take presented by Barstool Sports.
