and I actually, I'm gonna, I'm gonna be positive today, boys. I don't know who's taking the role of negativity, but I'm officially gonna put my hand up and say I'm positive today. I'm gonna have a positive spin on life. Who wants to be the negative guy? I don't think we should have a negative guy today. Yeah. Well, let's leave that, let's leave that in March.

Okay. We need to have one negative person, so at least at some point we have to have a negative comment just to bring us back down to reality, but here's my positivity of the day. This whole new social distancing when you see someone on the street that you know not having to like get close to them is kind of awesome. I don't know if you guys have had this yet where you take a walk like I was walking Stella, saw actually someone that we work with on the third floor and we had a nice chat probably 10 feet away and it was kind of cool.

There you go. You're doing the, it's like the Irish hello where you don't even have to acknowledge the person. That's, that's kind of a bit of positivity. It's like a natural separation. It creates that opportunity to leave much easier. Right. Yeah.

How about this for positivity? There's never been a better time to get a cold sore. True. True. Do you have one? No, I'm just saying that if you do get cold sores now is like you're hitting the lottery. If you get one, you don't have to go into work for a couple of weeks. No one's ever going to know.

Yeah. Or it's now is a great time to give yourself a haircut and have it be a bad haircut. Yep. Good point. What's, by the way, what is the plan for like haircuts and everything like that? And we, we just all going to say, fuck it. And we're just not cutting our hair until Danny Woodhead, which is super bowl over here. Okay.

Yeah. I haven't even thought about that, but I'm definitely getting close to needing a haircut. So that's going to be a, you should grow some flow. I don't think like, I mean, it's, I don't know where it would go and quarantine challenge. You won't quarantine challenge. You Hank, you should shave your face quarantine challenge. Yeah. If you grow your beard out until the end of quarantine, I'll shave my face at the end

of quarantine. No. Yeah. Yeah. You already said it. That's it. That's such a bad deal for you that the day that we all get to be released from our houses, which okay, here's the negative part.

This whole, like everyone's saying, oh yeah, I can't wait for the day that we're allowed to go back out and world goes back to normal. The world's not going back to normal, like, like a light switch. We're not going to be like, Hey, there we go. Now everyone just go party and we're, we're cool. It's going to be such a weird gradual thing where everyone is scared of each other because of germs. Are you guys, are you guys going to be crowds, concerns aren't going to exist for another

year? Hank, I am getting a mask or I didn't get a mask. I got one of those fucking really cool, uh, like things. Yeah. That like basically every Navy SEAL wears and it actually the only one they had was an American flag one. So apparently people shopping on Amazon don't love their country. So I'm going to walk around with a weighted vest and that and people will be like, yeah,

he's special ops. Well, you have the altitude mask. So that's two and the tactical glasses. So I have it all. I feel bad because my neighbor came from across the, uh, across the way here. He works at a hospital and he had like a box of 10 hospital masks and I'm like, I don't want to steal valor. I don't want to take those.

He's like, no, take at least one or two. So I've got a couple of them. Um, I, I've been getting some emails from Jinko. I think I've kept you guys up to date on that. They're doing their part to, to fight coronavirus for 15% off sales. But I think that they, I don't think you have. I don't think you have.

Yeah. They should make masks with all the excess excess fabric. Just out of the, yeah, the kangaroo pie, just make Jinko branded jobs. Yeah. I'm down for that. I'm, uh, yeah, I'm, I got like basically the starter kit, uh, for guy who walks around like Portland, Oregon with an AK 47 saying, don't take away my rights. So I'm definitely going to walk around Brooklyn.

Everyone's like, what's this guy doing with the weighted best tactical glasses, American flag neck mustache and, and yeah, in the mask. So yeah, it's going to be a good time. I'll probably get shot. Right. I'm probably going to get shot. Yes. Yeah.

I mean, you have the, am I being detained starter pack? Yes. Exactly. Like I know my rights. Um, all right. What else is going on? Anything? I mean, I actually do think here we're back to positivity.

I think the president calling all the commissioners on Saturday was a positive sign because I would imagine that call was you need to bring sports back right now because we're all need sports very, very badly. I think he just called because Baron, because Baron is driving him absolutely insane in the White House with no sports on TV. So he was like, I want to talk to someone. Oh, oh, you're saying that he's, he, he was like, dad, you need to bring the sports back? Yeah.

I think that either, you got to get sports back or Donald Trump was like, I'm sick of hanging out with my son because he doesn't have anything to watch on TV. So I need to call up, uh, get here, get me Roger Goodell, get off my back, but Baron's a big footy fan. So and the MLS wasn't included as last I checked. Neither was, neither was, uh, the Premier lacrosse league, which was, uh, disrespectful. It's fucked up. Paul Ravel didn't get invited.

I didn't get an invite as commissioner, future commissioner of United States rugby. No, owner. You're going to name yourself commissioner too. Owner slash commissioner. Yeah. Well, I sometimes you got to take charge of something if you want to solve, you know, so I feel like that was a positive thing. Then wind horse is like the bearer of bad news drops more bad news.

I feel like Saturday night that I just, or maybe it was Friday night. I actually actively ignored it just so that I couldn't be bummed out. Did you watch, did you watch the clip of him saying it? No, what is like sad, the way he delivers sad news was just, just depressing. Like he was just, he was about to cry when he was saying it basically. Yeah. I'm going to cry when I, so I, I saw it. You know the thing when you see like bad news on Twitter and you just, you're like, yep,

I'm going to scroll by it. Don't want to watch. Don't want to see this. Not going to read this. Not going to comprehend this. So I saw it briefly and scrolled right by it. And then this is the first I'm thinking about the fact that he kind of hinted that MBA is definitely going to cancel the rest of the season.

Yeah. But there's a silver lining that cloud, which is Adam Silver is considering having the best players in the league play horse against each other live on Instagram, which is just sounds like the most boring idea of all. I would do a dunk dunk contest to be better on Instagram live. It is so, so boring. Like saying horse is basically that Adam Silver is really showing his age there because there's no way like horses, the fun game when you're like five years old and you learn

how to shoot. And when you're 70 years old and you like playing basketball, but you can't do anything but shoot like, yeah, so this is, I actually, I was tweeting that I would rather watch these players go through their regular workout and see like how they, how they, you know, see mellow in his hoodie, just draining shots and running no more than like 10 steps. And then seeing LeBron actually work out really hard and being like, Oh, there's the difference. That would be more interesting than horse. I would rather watch Johnny Cueto take care of his actual horses on Instagram live than

to watch an NBA player play horse. They're fucking dead. They're dead. That's why I know that's, that's how bad it would be to watch an NBA player play horse. It's like two guys playing horse against each other. It's fun for them, but it's boring for everybody else. It's like telling people your dreams. I don't want to see James Harden be like, okay, here's another three pointer that I'm

going to say. Do that. Okay. Now what? I would, I would rather watch them each take a thousand free throws. At least then it's like, okay, here's what, yeah, here's what your free throw percentage is, is in like an empty gym with no pressure. Yeah.

They're just, they're scrambling for content like everybody else. But yeah, I'm going to take a hard pass on the horse idea. I actually think out, even if there was absolutely another thing else going on in the sports world, I still wouldn't tune in and watch that. Yeah. And then of course people will say, well, think about the betting. You got to realize something. If they play horse, they're not going to let you bet more than like $5 on these games.

They're not, they're just not. So think big picture. Don't let them try to, they're trying to basically do a little switcheroo on us being like, hey, the NBA is probably going to be canceled, but we're going to play some horse. Don't let them, don't let them do that. Don't let them do that to hold out for the cruise ship. Yeah. Exactly.

They're trying to get off easy. We're not going to let them. I like that. Yes. We're not going to take whatever Adam Silver hands us and thank him and be begging for scraps from and ask for seconds on gruel. Okay. Listen, we want, we want our aircraft carrier, eight team NBA playoff tournament.

We as a podcast have already said that we will donate our brains to anyone that needs it in terms of bringing sports back. But what we won't do is let the sports leagues be little us by giving us these little games and, and being like, this will placate the world like, oh, we'll have, you know, a couple of players play on, you know, uh, video games and that will be fine. No, that's not fine. That's fine for right now, but that's not bringing back sports. So we're holding out for real sports to come back.

Otherwise, I don't know what we're going to do. I'll probably just be really mad on my couch like I am every single day. Maybe they'll just keep dropping new Tiger Kings because Jeff, Jeff Lowe said that there's going to be another episode of Tiger King coming out, which might be just wishful thinking on his part because he probably has a lot of footage from behind the scenes of different times that he's tried to get people to confess to crimes so he could turn them in. So he's probably got all this footage. He's like, we got enough to make another Tiger King where Netflix is putting out next week.

I don't, I don't necessarily believe Jeff Lowe because why Jeff Lowe ever said anything to make you want to believe him. But I am hoping that there might be another episode. Well, before we started the show, you were trying to figure out why you had blood on your can of C4 and you, I think you missed it, but Hank and I were talking, we actually actively have, we have the phone number to someone in Jeff Lowe's camps and we're trying to book him on the show to be like, why are you always lying, dude? I love it.

Let's make it happen. So we might have happened. I had the text message though. The original text message is like, I was like, Oh, you know, we've been watching Tiger King. Like we're huge fans of Jeff because it's like someone in his camp. Like I had to say that. And I was like, there's no way this person is actually even like, they don't believe me. The closest thing there is the sports right now is top chef masters is on and you can

bet on that too. So I've been a big top chef guy for the last like 10 years. So that's kind of cool. Yeah. That's, yeah, that's something they need to bring back top, top chef kids. That's the funniest show like on TV. It's chopped, chopped, chopped kids. That is the funniest show on TV.

If you are looking to kill some time, I think there's a couple seasons on, on like on demand. It is so, so funny. Top chef is great. If you like people getting eliminated every season for the same mistakes, like somebody tries to make risotto. Someone tries to make ice cream in 10 minutes and it never ever works. And then they cry and get cut and they say that they should have been true to themselves when they were cooking.

And everyone's like, yeah, that's a good point. They did also obviously we're, we're taping this before WrestleMania night two, but WrestleMania night one was last night. I don't know if you guys caught any of it, but the Undertaker AJ Styles match was one of the funniest, like weirdly entertaining matches I've ever watched in wrestling history because it was pre-taped in a graveyard. It was the Boneyard match. Undertaker ended up burying him alive, which has been a theme of his career, but it was

like the perfect level of super cheesy and bad where it just became good and awesome. I've been watching a lot of backyard wrestling and that's, this is now backyard wrestling is time to shine for like two brothers that are both somehow named Travis and central Tennessee to just set up a camcorder in their backyard and go out and slam each other onto barbed wire. This is, this is your time to really wow us with your content, but I haven't been watching any of the WrestleMania so far this year. Why they split it up into two nights.

I think just to get more viewers, I mean, it's just, and also give people a little extra time to, you know, I mean, it's nice. They should split. It's like the draft. The draft should be seven weeks long. Yeah. Isn't wrestling like built on fans though? It is.

It's very bizarre because you can also like hear the, like it's just bizarre. It's a bizarre feeling, but that's why the Undertaker AJ Styles thing was, was funny because it was a pre-taped in a Boneyard that was just so weird. But yeah, it is, uh, it definitely feels, it feels like almost like you're watching a video game. It's hard to, it's hard to explain. And also if you hear, like I saw a couple clips of the Spanish announcer and you can hear very vividly the other announcers, the real announcers, because there's no one in

the room when they're wrestling. Yeah. Yeah. I need to, I need to get into wrestling. I feel like that's the last, once, once I start getting, getting really into like pay-per-view wrestling stream, that's when you know that we're scraping the bottom, bottom of the barrel for sports. Cause I've never been like mid nineties.

I watched a little bit of WWE, but I've been totally out of it. But at that point, if I'm, if I'm showing out 79 bucks for wrestling, then you know that we're in very dire straits right now. Yes. Yes. I got a question for you, Hank, a new hot in the street, a new meme that I just saw earlier today. What's up with the funeral meme?

Oh my God. It's so funny. So funny. So funny. Uh, that guy made it. I forget Dan. What is it? Dan something?

Uh, yeah. Mason. Yeah. He just, he just, it just, he just made it come out of the blue, but it's very, very funny. You just got to find like a clip of someone getting hit or like when you got stuff by big cat or like something like that, you like, and then I don't know what you're talking about. Just guys dancing at your funeral.

Yeah. Or what if it was, uh, Roger Goddell saying with the second overall pick in the NFL draft, the Chicago Bears select Mitch and then boom, it's going to be either that or the double doink. Either that or the double doink, or just you saying the Bears, no, but it needs to be the video of big cat watching the double doink. Right. And then like it would be the video of me stuffing you.

Gotcha. Right. I don't know what video. Right. Right. That's what I was trying to say. All right. Should we do.

Oh, we had a broken leg. Yeah. Yes. You didn't need surgery on broken foot. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much broken leg. Uh, all right.

Let's do it. Uh, who's back? Mike, why don't you start? Uh, my, who's back of the week is just my wardrobe and my like feng shui. What, who is it? Marie Kondo is like the get rid of all your stuff. Does it spark joy? So I did that this weekend.

Honestly, I was mentioning this pre before the show and big cat told me to save it because that's where I had in the world, but I got rid of, I like took all my clothes out and got rid of probably like five trash bags of them donated them or whatever. How many sweatshirts do you guys think I still have? You're, that's like what you wear every single day. Right. I'm going to say that you probably have like 20 sweatshirts. Yeah.

Yeah. 20 seems like a good, good guess PFT. What's your guest? Big cat. 20. I like that guess. I think that's right. You're taking his guess.

Okay. Nice. Solidarity. 19. 26. Okay. There you go. I was stuck with 20.

Why do you have 26 sweatshirts? I don't know. I had like 46. You know, I was, I was getting rid of so many and then I was like, all right, this is a good month to have. 46? Well, I think I got rid of, I got rid of so many clothes. I got rid of so many clothes and then afterwards I was like, all right, I'm done.

Like, literally got rid of four giant trash bags and then I counted them. I was like, well, I still have 26 sweatshirts, but 46. That's so many sweatshirts. Hey, what was, what was the sweatshirt that like just barely made the cut like number 25 or 26? Thanks Rico Bosco. I was like, I don't want to wear this, but just barely made the cut. I was getting rid of, I had to get rid of a lot.

I had to get rid of a lot of them. Rico's not going to like hearing that. No, I, I still kept it. No, I kept it because some things, but if you had, if someone came to your house right now and said only 20 sweatshirts allowed CDC guideline, only 20 sweatshirts allowed, Rico Bosco wouldn't make the cut. I mean, if we're in the trustee, that's probably true, but you just moved the goalpost because we were talking about 26.

Clay Travis you. Yeah, you did. And then my other who's back the week is just video games. I've just, I mean, that's really, I've just been playing video games for like this entire quarantine, but we have a part of my take to a channel. I can't wait till in two weeks when you're like sick of video games, just like you got sick of being high. No, I'm getting good though.

I'm getting, I'm, I'm very bad. So it's like, I'm getting better. I actually was talking to, to shout out Triggs, our artist who, who does all the cover art for part of my take and also made the, the book, the, the coloring book that was so awesome and watching like kids fill it out is so, so awesome. Triggs has a newborn as well. And he texted me. He was like, I wanted to throw my phone through the wall when Hank said this quarantine has

ruined getting high cause it's not fun anymore. Yeah. I mean, you got spark choice somehow Hank, have you been trying out new pieces like different devices? Uh, yeah, I got a couple, I got a couple of wraps, a couple of cigars, mixed it up. Okay. It's just different than, than doing new positions to keep things like fresh in a relationship. So Hank's got to fall back in love with getting high.

Yeah. I've just been trying to do like once a day, just save it. So I have something to like look forward to at night. Speaking of chopped for children, we should just give Hank like three or four ingredients every day. And he has to make a bowl piece out of whatever we give him. I'm a guy. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'll think of some, I'll think of three things for tomorrow. Is that anything? That's it. Uh, my, who's back in the week is, uh, global dimming.

Have you guys heard about global dimming? No. All right. So I got really down this rabbit hole last night, uh, because some people are saying, you know what's going to be a nice like byproduct of everybody staying in place is carbon emissions are going to go down, aerosol emissions are going to go down. It means that it's going to be, you know, better for the environment overall, uh, not so fast, my friend, because there's something called global dimming, which is the effect

that aerosol and all those little particles have when it's in our environment and in the atmosphere every single day, it actually protects us a little bit from the sun's rays and makes the earth a little bit cooler because we've put so much shit into the atmosphere. Now that all that's dipping down, it's actually going to increase the short term effect of global warming. So we're doubly fucked. So it's going to be hotter this summer. It's going to be really hot.

Yeah. And it's El Nino, which I, Jesus, I didn't even think about that. That's the ultimate, like you could blame anything on El Nino. El Nino. What does El Nino stamp for again? According to Chris Farley was the Nino, the boy. I think it means Jesus actually from what I'm told Chilean fishermen used to think that Jesus was coming every like five years because their catches would be, they'd have so much

more fish. It was just because the water was a little bit warmer. So yeah, we're, um, this is like the perfect storm of shit that's about to hit our entire environment right now. Okay. So you're the negative guy today. Cause that was very negative. Yep.

I'm just being a realist. Just being a realist. No, listen, there's no, we can't look down on the negative person of each show because it is realist. Like that is what we need. We need someone to be like, Hey, it's the world is kind of fucked. So there it is. We're doubly fucked.

But again, if it goes back to climate change, there are some advantages to having no, no, I was about to get negative. I'm not going to get that negative by the who's back of the week. It's true love because John Snow keeps falling in love with anyone who talks to him. So that guy is a sap and I was today years old when I found out that there was a difference between John Snow and Rob Star. So I've been really paying attention pretty closely to, uh, to Game of Thrones and Eli Manning.

It's not easy, baby. It's not easy, but it's necessary. Um, all right, my who's back. Rob start kind of a huge simp, major simp. They're both simps to be honest with you. Big time. Um, fat knees all the way back. I stepped on the scale today.

I'm up 13 pounds since quarantine started. I mean, you were going hard, big cat. Like I didn't, I like, I mean, I would talk to you about it, but you were, you were really, there was like two months where I was like, big cats going hard at this diet. And it's far, it's completely fallen apart. I've, I've been averaging like four hot dogs a day the last three days. It's a pace that cannot be kept up pizza, ice cream. So I'm getting back on track tomorrow officially where you were wearing your 80 pound weight

vest. When you step on the scale. Cause if so, you've actually lost a lot of weight. No, I, I actually, um, I actually have my own weight vest now that is my body because I took a walk, uh, yesterday and like my knees hurt after I was like, damn, I didn't have my weight vest on. Oh wait, I've gained like a way too much weight in the last two weeks. This is probably it.

So back on track, you know what I've started doing on Saturdays. I don't know if this is good or not, but I've been going for bike rides, like actual analog non-pellet on outdoor bike rides, uh, which is safe, right? That's a throwback. Yeah. It's such a throwback. I've been like biking to the convenience store and getting like a 20 ounce Mountain Dew and then riding home.

It feels pretty good. Some Reese's Cups. Yeah. Some Reese's. I was thinking, here's how bored I was. That was like, what if I just biked around Manhattan, just did like a big lap around the entire island. It's like 30 miles.

You think I could do that? Yeah. Absolutely. You could do it. Okay. That's what I'll do next week. I'll do, I'll do a personal race around Manhattan. You got this.

You got this for sure. Um, and then my other who's back is, uh, internet 1.0. I'm bringing back internet 1.0. So on Friday night, I did, uh, periscope bar hopping, which is just basically finding random people who are periscoping for like five people and then retweeting it and everyone going in and being really nice. But that's the key. It's not internet 2.0.

We're not trying to fuck with people. We're just being nice, trying to signal boost all the struggling artists out there who try to get out there and doing their, uh, art for like six people every night on periscope. We're, we're, we're signal boosting them and making them feel good. So trying to make the internet like fun again. I don't know. This might be stupid. I like that.

Yeah. Just like be nice. I don't know. I was, uh, I was trying to do that when I was crashing different zoom meetings. Like I'd crash this one instructor who was teaching people how to like do the cup dancing thing or the cup drums. And then the FBI put out all these guidances saying like it's against the law to do that. And so it felt like it was getting to a bad place.

Well, like some of the negativity was the Rangers one crash. Yes. What? Like Rangers zoom on Friday night was not good. Yeah, exactly. So I've been looking for something like a more constructive positive way to go just see random new people hop in whenever I, whenever we go, I'm going to keep it very random because if I, if I, if I do it consistently, it will, it will get ruined.

So it'll be totally random, but we found a woman who's now painting us something for our studio. I found a woman that I keep having lunch with in New Zealand every day named Louise who's very nice. So yeah, it's internet 1.0. Use the internet for the good things, not the bad things. What is internet 1.0? I've never heard that phrase before.

Is that like, I appreciate it. That's good. What you're doing. But I also feel like internet 1.0 was like way worse, way more of like a there was definitely free for all, but there was less cynicism. So it's, it's like less sarcasm cynicism in the internet. I know what you're saying, Hank.

Like internet 1.0 was definitely like, Hey, look at this video of a guy getting beheaded. That's cool. That definitely happened a lot. Internet 1.0. But I also think internet 1.0, people had more pure intentions. So like people were doing things just to do them, not to go viral or it wasn't like people weren't putting out videos to troll people or like, like I'm always thinking of like Danny Boy Kane is internet 1.0.

He was just as genuine and as pure as could be. And that's what these periscopes are. I think of soldier boy, soldier boy naming, taking every popular song and putting it on lyme wire, but then actually it just was a soldier boy song. Yeah. Renaming it. So like you download like 50 cent in the club and then it would just be soldier boy. Yeah.

That was, that was huge. Like every song, if you tried to download a Beatles song, it was, it was used with soldier boy. Yeah. So it would just be like crank that. Yeah. So I guess maybe internet 1.0 is in the exact phrase for it, but I would say just less sarcasm, less cynicism in the internet and less like everything is the worst and we're all going

to die and everything leads back to politics. That's what I'm trying to bring back. So like getting away from global dimming is what you're getting at. Yeah. But we need to at least be aware of it. So I appreciate you doing that. Just trying to educate people. I don't know.

It might also be another hoax. I'm, I'm very, I'm primed to get hoaxed by somebody right now. Yeah. Yeah. The hoaxes are, are, are going everywhere right now. QAnon has, has really sunk their teeth into this entire thing. Did you say that, that internet 1.0 was like you log on to rotten.com and then boom, funeral meme.

Yes. Yes. It's something like that. Like where it's, there's definitely parts of internet 1.0 where you would definitely see more dead bodies than internet 2.0 because they didn't have the filters yet. The quality. You guys won hammer. No, I'm like a seasoned detective in a TV drama and then all these kids that are starting

to get into the, the weird web, like new guys over in the corner puke and he can't handle it. Yeah. All right. Let's get to our interviews.

go download his podcast out of nowhere Danny it's good to have you on it's good to see your face you got a great mustache I also want to do something real quick I want to I think we're gonna run this Monday but we'll edit a little bit of this we'll selectively edit it and we'll pretend that we tape this like two months ago perfect Danny where do you think Tom Brady's gonna go right now it's really up in the air I mean I think there's a chance he could leave I would say it's like 60 40 he leaves I would say out of the you don't I think out of the teams the possibilities are I know this sounds crazy the Raiders Chargers Kansas City Chiefs or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the box yeah the Chiefs is one of them too yeah

I the thing is the Chiefs yeah they want a Super Bowl I get it but there's rumors that they're not happy with Mahomes and a his leadership they want Tom there for a year have him grow you have to look ahead in this league too you know like okay yeah Pat Mahomes did it last year but it's about what's going to happen you don't get paid for past performance this isn't like the NBA where they'll give you an $80 million contract because it's more likely that he's gonna go to the Chiefs in the box the box is the craziest one right right I think the Chiefs have the upper hand right now but it's just it kind of depends on their cap you know I think they pay Tom and just wait for a year for an extension with Patty give him a

one-year deal give him a one-year deal next year he'll extend Patty in that's not a bad idea because you see how much he learned from Alex Smith as a backup imagine what he could learn spending a year backing up Tom Brady it's like the ceiling would just go so much higher form plus there's a track record of getting New England quarterbacks down in Kansas City like Matt Castle went down there and he was amazing like this is it's like a pipeline yeah I would I would consider I mean anyone that's played NCAA football knows pipelines recruiting pipelines well back you know getting a quarterback pipeline to from New England to Kansas makes sense and think about we're talking about Pat Mahomes is ceiling right now is being a you know solid winner we already

reached it he's already reached it he won a Super Bowl yeah you know we want a Super Bowl right right yeah do you want Pat to win a Super Bowl or Super Bowls right great point and great point glass half full well so what about what about your boy Philip Rivers because you also played with old Phil do you have an inside track and where he's gonna go you know with you know with obviously he's not going back to the Chargers I don't know I just don't think he's gone to I mean there's been talks that maybe they're done with him hmm I know that's that's what I thought it is a cold world so I think the Bucks could be in it too right the Bucks the Colts and there's a lot of rumors flying around that the Pittsburgh Steelers oh interesting now I was thinking maybe Baltimore

too well yeah Baltimore too just because kind of the same deal as Mahomes like yeah super cool your MVP but like you need to learn from someone yeah in all seriousness so you obviously played with the Patriots you were around Tom Brady around Bill Belichick did any of this shock you at all or were you like it kind of makes sense because he had the writing was on the wall and it felt like something that he was gonna do by negotiating this freedom yeah I you asked me five years ago I would have said it never happens never I would have been like he's gonna he's gonna finish into England do his deal there and that's what it's gonna be but who predicted he was gonna play telly is 53 right and and that's the thing is now he's getting to the age obviously where he's

getting close to Social Security but more than anything he's getting to the age where it's like I just want to do my own thing and and I that's kind of what what I see it as is he probably just wants to do his own thing and like let's not fault him for that like if he I played in four jerseys I mean granted I don't have a legacy but still like disagree yeah you're right you're right good call good call I have a legacy it's just more of a leg a leg a not it's a it's a slightly injured leg it's just yes what are we gonna argue are we gonna we're gonna be like oh Tom really wasn't that good oh he wasn't you moron no it's just a weird visual it really is like I completely agree the he is the greatest of all time that's not like kind of up for debate anymore it's just a

weird thing to like see him because they're gonna play in a lot of prime time games and we're gonna see Tom Brady in a Bucks uniform and it's gonna be weird and it's gonna be weird that the Patriots gonna play a whole heck of a lot of one o'clock games yeah it's true like yeah I don't there's rumors that they're not even gonna have them on television just put him behind a paywall it's gonna yeah it's gonna be behind a paywall it's gonna be behind a pay or like PBS a ton of like London games yeah it's like oh congratulations Patriots you have four home games in London it's like no it's like no no we don't first of all it feels terrible so like we don't want to play there second of all that's the stupidest idea ever I do kind of agree with you that with Brady he

wants to do something a little bit different because do you see that he's gonna be on Howard Stern next week yeah like he's gonna sit down like there's no chance that would ever happen if you think he's gonna take his shirt off no well it's it's actually like it's funny because it's both of them in there like the later phase of their careers where like you'd be like oh is Howard Stern gonna ask him about his sex like no because he's not the same Howard Stern anymore right Tom Brady in a weird way is opening up more than he probably ever has so it's like two ships passing in the night when it comes to how that interview could have been great and it probably will be just whatever I would say even the last would it be more year where Tom's like he's on

social media he's doing this he did the Facebook thing the Facebook show whatever the heck that was but I will say like once you once you leave I mean I don't know how many times have I been on the show it doesn't really matter but the first time we talked I was just like I don't know first year out of New England it's like if you look at the just my progression as far as comfortability talking to people it's I I guess when I was in San Diego I thought Bill was gonna come to my house and like be the tickle monster and do something weird to me you know where so maybe maybe maybe he knows that Bill will be the tickle monster yeah now so I went on your show a couple weeks ago you're very good at podcast I'm actually I'm a little bit threatened by you because like most most former

athletes they start their podcast and they're like you know what this is gonna be easy I'm just gonna talk about with playing days all the time you're you're pretty good at it so how much tape did you watch a part of my take before you taped your first episode you know you gotta watch a lot of tape I mean because you have to put yourself in those different scenarios so I don't know like you have to watch not every film not every podcast but you gotta watch about it you know half of them at least because what if I'm in that scenario or what if I'm in that scenario you know Bill talked much less wants wants you to piss your pants next to him yeah handle you got to be prepared situational podcasting like do am I gonna have to stick a whole thing a red man in my mouth I don't

know probably but yeah like that yeah probably at some point you're gonna have to do that and I don't know am I gonna have to start smoking heaters I don't know not that you guys did that but maybe I have to probably um all right I got a real question for you ready for this I'm ready well so we're obviously in a weird ass time right now no one knows what the future is going to hold here for when sports are gonna come back but I would assume as we're sitting here oh actually we're supposed to the coronavirus seems like it could be a big deal I saw the first case in China there we covered our ass that we taped this in January no but in all seriousness the um the season will probably be delayed like in terms of or it will be a shortened training camp

right like guys will have to be coming back and kind of rushing into it similar thing happened in 2011 you were in the league then the lockout lasted until July what which side is that favor like are guys really working out hard on their own or is it something that guys are gonna be a little out of shape like how does that all play out in your mind I mean it's in some ways it's similar to the lockout but in other ways it's not at all because there's nowhere to train so it's it's total self-discipline and I mean that that's what's gonna like the people are gonna have the edge or the people that have veterans who actually care and know what it's out uh you look at the lockout year we were so far we know that was the year we went to the

Super Bowl and it blew into the Giants but we're so far ahead of everyone because everyone knew training camps happening regardless with bill you better be right and if you're not like you're gonna be fired you're gonna not gonna have a job and I don't know then you're gonna go do whatever the heck you would do if you didn't have a job so I'd favor the teams that a little bit more disciplined and I would not favor the teams that don't and just kind of do whatever the heck they want because there's a lot of guys that just don't do anything it's also crazy to think about teams with new coaches and like how the hell are our or team maybe not even teams new coaches but like a team like the dolphins who have three first-round picks who are going to be like

throwing a lot of draft capital around and try to pick up a lot of like new rookies and make their team young overnight how the hell do you then try to get a training camp when it might not start till August see I think that's gonna be hard uh and and I'm one to believe that if it would have been normal offseason not saying they're gonna make the playoffs but the dolphins have some good coaches the beef flow the Brian Flores really good he was a quality control special teams dude when I was there in New England dude rose the ranks unbelievable coach and he's I mean I thought he did one of the best coaching jobs in the NFL last year I mean hopefully no dolphins get offended it was like the trashiest football team we've seen in the NFL and since the oh and 16 lions right

they were actively trying to lose they were actively trying to lose and they ended up being competitive towards the end of the season right and the Bengals too the Bengals were like exactly bad enough to lose almost all their games but they never it never felt like the Bengals were just getting the crap kicked out of them week in week out right and no I totally agree and so the dolphins with all the cap because they do have a ton of draft capital they have so much so much they can they can do whether it's even trading up more they can do whatever they want and and that's what's exciting but it's not exciting like you said because there's gonna be no offseason and that's gonna be difficult I think I mean man I would my rookie year I wouldn't

have been ready until the season obviously I ended up getting hurt but you go in for the offseason you don't even know what you're doing the the offenses are so much different people saying that college offense is oh yeah I you know it's we we run an NFL offense no you don't you're lying like that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard now let me say this LSU might have had a little bit of a because of Brady being there and he ran it you could tell that was an NFL offense but still it's in the NFL now yeah exactly but so it's it's gonna be hard because it's it's different either especially so like about running backs like you have to pass pro like and run like the past pros maybe the number one deal and and if you if you can't figure that

out just the past protections you're not playing so like I'm thinking that it's just running back think of it as the offensive line like there's a lot of teams that need offensive linemen well and there's some good offensive linemen but if you don't have the time to understand what you're doing well you're gonna suck you're not gonna it doesn't mean you're a bad player it's just you're not gonna do well quarterbacks that's one position if you got I don't know if he's a genius but I think bro and I think Tua I think they're both really good I don't know what type of development they're but I that's something you get drafted because the draft's gonna go on right they're gonna find a way to get playbooks let's let's not joke around with ourselves be like oh yeah they're

gonna they can get it only once they know they're gonna get playbooks somehow and they'll be able to study and that's something that I think it'll be very hard but if you have a dude that like is like a Tom Brady or a Phillip River someone that like just grinds and and wants to know what everyone does they might be able to figure it out but it's still gonna be difficult right right and what about the idea of having a team like installed like a custom playbook almost in a Madden type game and then giving that out to every single player and be like okay yeah you can't do the stuff like offensive lineman and work as a team and learn what the guy next year is gonna do and get that field down but you can still like take those mental reps and figure out what you're gonna do on every

single play you know I think actually that would be brilliant if like you could have like the terminology like slur or the same and you just play Madden now is it gonna be the same of course not but but as far as like for receivers it'd be super helpful for running backs it'd be very helpful there's things you have to learn like the snap count that every team has a different um verbiage for you know the snap count and all that and and there's gonna be different um verbiage as far as like who this is a little more in depth but a quarterback points out the mic some teams have the center point out the mic teams have like there's certain things that will different so like communication wise from the line in the quarterback but even just like the

knowing what the name of the plays are that'd be huge so I have the other question semi-serious with the cancellation of all the pro days and a lot of guys not having a shot like you went undrafted but you had an unbelievable forwarding time and and showed out in your you know in your workouts if Danny Woodhead was coming out of college right now in 2020 would you knowing this isn't you but would you be on the instagram doing a lot of like looking at how many push-ups look how fast I can run like instagram live here's me squatting a million pounds would you have to do that because I think that's really the only way you can get like people to to take notice that you're still working out and still someone that

should be you know on a roster oh I definitely do something like that I mean it'd be super weird and it'd be like man I'm in it I'm a influencer pro dayer guy you know like that'd be that'd be like the weirdest thing and I'm not usually comfortable doing stuff like that but I do it because if I want an opportunity part of part of the whole NFL combine pro day deal is looking the part is looking the part like so when I ran my 40 when it was at Nebraska guys like I was that's when I was in good shape like I was shredded I was like five eight two hundred and as shredded as I've ever been in my life and so what did I do I ran in just just tights because I took my shirt off and made sure everyone saw this little white boy from the brass

that he can run really fast and he looks jacked yep so the instagram you basically were doing instagram without instagram I just instagram live the the thing is you know and front offices they have some dude always looking at everyone's twitter they like make sure like they're looking at every college kids twitter they're looking at their own players twitter's instagram's whatever it may be so like they're they're they're out there they may not be their names but they're out there I don't know what the heck they are but we'd always come in and it's like for instance in New England bill would always know if something crazy went down on twitter and it wasn't even like big but it was somewhat crazy it's like like who's up at one o'clock in the morning looking up this stupid

stuff you know like like don't you got something going on well they have they have someone doing it for him I always thought that the whole like snap face insta chat thing that bill would say I thought that was always bullshit because he knows he knows what all these apps are he has he knows everything he my face facebook I mean like yeah yeah my for all those people that don't know what my space was there there was another social media my space and facebook together I know people don't know that but facebook my face you need to always be like you doing that all that that tweeting thing or whatever it is and we're like bill you this is the 47th time you've said this joke you know what twitter is you know what it's you're probably tick talking you know like that that's my guess

absolutely absolutely I was worried about the drug testing aspect of things like are is gadel sending out his like piss collectors to like go in door to door because that's not healthy that's not good social distancing or do you think a lot of guys are smoking the reef well I wouldn't be so I mean I'm sure they probably are you know yeah yeah I aren't I'm sure they probably aren't um but uh yeah that's that's not good well I mean if you have a if you have someone drug testing you they're getting up close and personal what if like like that's not good someone say they randomly were a carrier and they sneeze on the person that's drug testing that is like you know right eyes on your crotch yeah so that's what they do that's what they do yeah is that is that weird

just having somebody just watch you pee you know what it's super weird but by the time by the end by the year 10 you're like come on in you know just come on in come on in to watch you pee that that's that's what I always joke so we towards the end of my career um I'd be like so because you'd know their name because usually is this and I wasn't always the same person but you'd get the same people from time and time again and they'd be I was like so come on over here come on come on come on over here you can watch me pee I'm pulling my pants down you want me to pull them down to my knees or where do you need me to pull them you need to take my shirt off and sometimes that weird amount I thought it was kind of funny yeah I mean obviously like with the new cba I think

it's they're not even testing for marijuana anymore but right I still feel like now's the time if you were to try to get away with taking some PEDs you could just tell the person like oh I'm I've got symptoms of the virus and then there's no chance that somebody would go into a bathroom stall with it it would be the easiest time ever to take PEDs the absolute easiest time because you could get out of it like what are they gonna say no you don't have symptoms yes I do and then you just maybe you just cough or something right like you you will not get tested Billy football just tweeted actually like two minutes ago that this is if we don't have football for 18 months this is the perfect time to do a couple cycles so he's telling everyone that right

now um all right another sliding door moment question that I'm very curious about and this might be like a little nerdy you know inside college football recruiting do you think if Danny Woodhead was 16 17 years old right now do you think Scott Frost would have him walk on at Nebraska no I think he would I think he would have offered me a scholarship there we go I actually agree I agree because I read I read an entire like a long um I think was like the Omaha.com or something wrote a whole article about um basically the the demise of Nebraska football has been the walk on uh you know program and going getting like all these guys from smaller high schools and being like hey come and and we'll build you into football player

and you were listed in it they're like how does Nebraska miss on Danny Woodhead like that would be in the Tom Osborne era that would be the perfect guy that they bring in and ends up being like an unbelievable college football player after red shirting and like sitting on the bench for three years yeah you know the thing is I looking back like yeah do I wish I could have I wish I had the opportunity whatever you know like that's they're here nor there do I think I would have do I think I would have went there yes I do I also think football's at a different time now like you want quicker faster people on the field when I when I was coming out of high school there wasn't as many I mean there were some I mean everyone we all know some some reasons why I didn't you know get

offered and that's okay but uh now there's a fit for the the smaller running back like that's if I if I'm a coach I'm probably I'm probably not playing a big back yeah if I'm if I'm a head coach even in the NFL I want a back that's five ten or shorter people are gonna laugh but I don't want a six foot two running back I want a five foot ten or shorter 210 to 200 pound running back who's fast can catch the ball and then I'll go get a six foot 225 pounder that can run on the goal line or something but like I don't I want to I want to score points right so you get a running back that is super skilled and can catch the ball and can run between the tackles he doesn't have to be 220 you can have him 205 you don't even have to have him 205 but you get a dude that can run the ball

too it's just like it's cat and mouse they're like all right they put nickel on okay we can throw it or we can run it down their throats depending on personnel say you're in 12 personnel two tight ends they're in nickel it's like all right run oh oh you're you're in base you're in base we're gonna go empty and we're gonna kill you and make you look stupid I actually think part of that um you know it's obviously Derek Henry's unbelievable but part of it is every everyone loving him is he's a little bit of a throwback in that way like you don't see those type of monster backs uh like you might have you know 10 20 years ago right and the thing is Derek Henry amazing he's won a few right you know what I'm saying like I'm gonna go get Derek Henry I know you're not I think that

there are gonna be some coaches that try to get a Derek Henry because the NFL is like very much just what have we seen recently like a copycat type of league they are they are they're gonna be offensive coordinators that just try to plug any six foot three 235 pound guy in at running back and it's gonna fail miserably it's the most moronic thing you could do like I know that's what the NFL does but unless you have the Dallas Cowboys offensive line of three years ago you don't do it yeah I like how how your explanation of the type of running back that you want progressively just became more and more descriptive of Danny Woodhead it was like you know I take like a guy is like less than six feet maybe five ten maybe but I usually played it 200 not 210 so

210 200 pounds like a guy that can bounce outside catch the ball but also get him between like almost like a Christian McCaffrey type like you narrowed it down at the end where it was just like if we were playing guess who I would have correctly identified that you were talking about Danny Woodhead yeah yeah I had one last question for you Nebraska coronavirus you guys aren't doing anything anything differently are you no we are we definitely are I so because we were out of state so we came back and because so I have a friend that's a doctor and he's kind of dealing with it all so I kind of knew the I don't want to say the severity but I I knew that it could spread so we were like once we got back we're gonna we're gonna self-quarantined because we didn't know

if we could have came in contact with because this is when it was starting to blow up I don't know what everyone else is doing I would say the we have is we are so spread out yeah no that's what I assume and I would do the same thing like I always just think that the rural the more rural states if I were living in one of them right now I'd be like come on we're so spread out like I mean think about this it took like New York to have thousands of cases and people to start dying for everyone in New York to be like okay maybe I won't go outside anymore so it's it's just a really hard thing to let your brain accept what's going on so I just assume the more rural states are like yeah good well I think there are some that are like that now Omaha not

metropolis but we're close our area is close to like a million so we have enough people that we are somewhat close right so we see it as being super real whereas I think some of the smaller towns they're probably just going about their business like yeah well let's just watch our hands whatever it may be but also we see at least as in Omaha that we see everything that's happened into you guys and and even some of the other other states and we're like all right let's let's pump the brakes a little you know don't be like us well not so much that but let's like even though we have maybe the advantage of being spread out let's still chill just because it's crazy and and there is a lot of craziness going on in the world and man like stuff like this

and that's what's fun about doing like the podcast it's like this world still needs some some like fun laughter joy and and that's like that's super important right now like so I don't know if I know tft you follow me and I'm sure you do too like look at my hair cap my hair yeah that's pretty yeah no I saw that yeah the racing stripes yes and you know I did it because I'm trying to have fun I'm trying to make people laugh I'm trying to make people like still like get on the internet and not like search coronavirus statistics because that's what everyone wants to do and what does that do that just builds up fear and anxiety and stress and like you go nuts I want people to jump on there and be like man woodhead looks like a clown you

know like that's what I want and and I don't care because I think it's fun and and and I want people to enjoy their life still even though it's hard and it's tough times and and we all get that let's still like try to like have some some sort of like sunlight on people's lives yeah I love it um all right everyone go listen to Danny's podcast out of nowhere is what it is called and thank you Danny always great to catch up with you man hey thanks for having me fellas be safe Danny wash your hands you guys wash yours that interview Danny Woodhead was brought to you by our good friends at Roman and Roman Swipes most guys have tried different ways to last longer but thinking about baseball

cities and he would be pointing out like architecture and sometimes you're interested in sometimes this is a direct quote you'd think beat it nerd yeah I'd be like dude shut the fuck up come on like so do you he's so smart was there a moment when Andrew Luck retired where you like had to sit did you sit him down beforehand like hey man like I'll make sure you don't get sacked like it's fine you won't get hurt well I mean no I did not uh sit down with him and say that but I mean we gave up the least sacks the year before like his last season and stuff but like he told me I was just like shocked we're actually playing a pre-season game against the Bears yeah it was the third pre-season game and against my boy bars and then uh yeah he told us before the game and

during the game the news broke camera cameras were all over him and then some fans were booing him it was bullshit yeah it must have been kind of awkward too just like word trickling through the stadium and then you guys figuring out that people had figured out yeah probably not the ideal way for for probably not what he wanted to have happened either but yeah I mean it seems like he made the right choice for himself he got sick of like all the rehab stuff but as he mentioned you went 239 consecutive drop backs without allowing a sack to him yeah were you in the zone can an offensive line get in the zone oh for sure I mean uh when you're clicking on all cylinders and you're uh just seeing everything through one set of eyes for sure and uh we have a tight knit group

and great guys and great players and uh we're definitely in a zone and uh yeah it was awesome how excited do you get when a run play is called because I I read this story too uh that you guys were newer one in five in 2018 yeah yeah playing the bills coach comes in and he says we got 15 plays 15 play set it's all runs yeah yeah it was like all base runs there's no checks the passes and uh he was like we're gonna run the football this game and that's what we did and like when a run gets called like I want to run through a fucking brick wall because like I'm fired up like I get to attack this guy and uh like try to get the best of them as much as I can and it's more you're on the aggressive than I can pass pro you're in the defensive you know so

can you tell the moment you don't have to name names but can you tell the moment uh when a opposing player that you're playing across from has lost his will to like even I think I think you right now big cat no I don't have your will right now no no I haven't had a zillion beer sweatshirt on yep Friday Friday it is Friday it is Friday but has does that happen like in the course of a game when you're like all right this guy doesn't want anything anymore yeah and I mean uh when you're just imposing your will on people and uh like Loki you're fucking them up the whole game and like you're not even talking shit they're just like man fuck this shit man like that's awesome uh and that comes with the five guys all doing their jobs and uh it can't just be one guy like because

they could just move over to the other side so then they move over to the other side and they're still getting the same business from the right guard it's awesome it's gotta be demoralized there was that one clip that came out of you snatching somebody's soul you knocked out a linebacker and the cult social media account oh yeah added in the sound of you screaming as you did it to make it sound more intimidating yeah so everybody's freaking out because it was such a cool looking play and right awesome sounding hit but then it turns out that since it went so viral the league watched it and they ended up finding you for a helmet to helmet hit yeah I was so mad like I got I go in uh Monday there's just a FedEx on my uh locker seat and I'm like oh what's in here

like I open it up it says $26,000 fine and I was like what like what are you kidding me like and the cults like blew it up which I didn't mind because I got some like I got some more clout for it you know what I mean but however at the same time I got $26,000 is the clout worth the $26,000 I don't know might have been I think it might have been I think it might have been you did go mega viral I was pissed though like I walked into my media guy's uh office like with the fine I said you're a fucking paying for this shit and he was like dude I'm just an intern that runs social media yeah yeah pretty much um can I play can I play a clip for you yeah all right I'm gonna play a clip for Quentin right now oh okay is this me talking about you tough guy

so this is Quentin on busing with the boys like great podcast you know what I mean yeah yeah yeah hey they do anything for clout anything for great transition but hold on one second I just want to finish with one thing fuck you pick it okay yeah so anyway we'll do anything for clout yeah close Taylor made you guys famous did he's the best well I quit was famous before that made Quentin famous no Quentin was already famous made Quentin famous man dude that that me off what's it yeah are you fired up right now yeah I can't I got in your head so much you couldn't transition so you were mad at me well I was mad at you why honestly it's so long ago it's water under the bridge you don't remember why you're mad I don't really remember all I know is

Taylor's my fucking guy does it change back right you were being a piece of shit well I wasn't but does it change anything with the fact that we then like I could make the case that I'm Taylor's boss now because we bought damn damn like you're kind of selling him right now saying I'm just saying does that change anything I mean it definitely no I like those guys too but it was funny when they when Taylor did the fuck you big cat so yeah we had uh they were like blowing up our Twitter and Instagram and clearly they have a great podcast but I remember you being part of him being like fuck why does I understand why Taylor doesn't like us but why does Quentin not like us yeah yeah I was like dude is who the fuck's big cat is he even a big guy

probably something a pussy like ready ready to just fucking try to fight me yeah you got the bench press right here you go to town I can see the biceps popping through the sweatshirt looks good yeah how much thank you how much you bench right now too much bro we load that thing up with uh 135 some real heavy weight how many times you're tossing it how many times like I don't know I 80 I don't know at the combine settle flex 225 to 36 okay it took one rep a way of I'm over them but you I read also that you were doing you were benching more your senior of high school than Jadavion Clowney did that year oh at the combine yeah at the combine yeah but uh the reps probably wouldn't count it because my hips were coming off and stuff like that but but yeah we don't

we're very strict hips down yeah so I like to get my hip thrust in the warm up the hips you know right right that's why I have the hips come up yes I do respect the fact that you got so mad at big cat despite not really knowing like what you were getting about I like that do you go through life like getting just pissed off at people a lot listen I got a tight circle my fucking boys like I got their back so are we part of that now I mean not even close or close not not even close I mean that's fine I was wondering where we stand no you guys are awesome guys I love your podcast I love bar stool I love listening to it and uh I mean you guys are awesome yeah I mean we've we've swashed the beef with Taylor and will you know we bet them in Miami had a good time with them you're good

I legally have to say they have a great podcast because it's money in my pocket so but I have a great podcast you would say that no matter what right we would yeah I would but boys now but you wouldn't have said that when they were signed correct but I just want it like I would say they have a great podcast no matter what because it is busting with the boys go subscribe but again it's money in my pocket five stars yeah five stars yeah do it please do it all do it all and I like you because you lined up at full back this year I love full backs love the dude but I was a fucking pussy dude well I would have six five three hundred thirty five pounds from the one yard on I couldn't gain one yard I couldn't get in

that's actually an ultimate full back I was the biggest bitch just getting the ball from the one and getting tackled right at the goal line but you still got the you got the touchdown celebration the thing was I was like you know I I definitely just didn't cross the goal line right there and like they ruled at a touchdown I'm like dude fuck it like this might be my only chance we got to do the celebration now did the keg stand that was pretty awesome celebration that also went viral are you ever worried that you were going too viral for an offensive lineman no I'm not really worried about it I mean I don't I wouldn't I wouldn't say I like try to go viral it just like happens right just crush you take people's souls and then you go viral are you ever gonna get a

maybe like some some kind of deal legally to keep Brian baldinger away from you because he goes a restraining order of some sorts because he his videos of you they're uncomfortable sometimes he loves you that much dude he he makes love when he's talking about me he's like look at big Q like he goes crazy and I mean I really appreciate it like anyone that like supports me and like goes through film and breaks it down like baldinger does but yeah I don't know I don't know he's drooling like oh man look at this he loves you look at this it sounds like uh when Guy Fiery is talking about like cutting into a cheeseburg yeah that's how he's not talking about you like throwing the chip yeah he loves you so 17 game season let's make some headlines are you

in favor of 17 games nice question absolutely not dude I don't need another game like what about another 16 is a long time uh when I do not worth it really our bodies are so fucking hurt after the season like 16 games and then you got the playoffs if you're lucky enough to make it that far and uh I don't know we just don't need another game in my opinion okay uh good headline grab now after the season's over how long does it take you like how long do you take off where you're just like I'm not doing anything for this amount of time so my rookie season I took like a month a month and a half off um but we also made it deeper into the playoffs so that affects it like I was done like February 16th or something like that so I took like a month off this year like I kind of

just won right into the training let's piss we didn't make the playoffs really uh yeah so okay um all right so I also had one one last question but it's I would love to hear about this so I read this story on the athletic about you uh when you were in fifth grade you had to drop 23 pounds just to play football yeah yeah my pretty much uh my dad said quite I'm like I'm gonna coach this pop warranty whether you play or not which mean you better fucking lose some weight kid right because and uh my mom would take me to the park and uh we'd run like the cross country course 3.3 miles home del park the bull representing but also and then I think I like discovered keto before that was a fucking thing because I was eating like just deli meats veggies as a fifth grader and like very

limited bread like as a fifth grader yes so you dropped the 23 pounds I also read that you in third grade you were bigger than the fifth graders you were in third grade you were 411 height and like 115 pounds probably that's my grade in third grade that's unreal yeah I like that you you became accidentally keto you discovered it you were you literally ate like a caveman dude yes unintentionally but but lost all that weight so yeah how many pounds did you end up dropping like dude over my lifetime like a shit ton it's unreal like I just lose weight and then like I start getting some compliments they're like oh quentin you look so good I'm like all right I could eat five cheeseburgers now yeah I go through that too yeah see yo yo then I gain then I lose then I gain game lose lose

you know yeah uh you got a great name quentin nelson how many times in elementary school would a substitute teacher be like uh quentin nelson and then you'd raise your hand and they'd be like wait you're you're white uh a substitute teacher what's your middle name emerson emerson emerson quentin emerson nelson that's not a bad buddy's are here and they're laughing at his middle name it's not a bad middle name kind of flows bro quentin emerson nelson yeah well I think it flows because you're the one who's saying it and you're like make it you're like hey it flows right yeah that's right off the tongue so it sounds like french yeah it's beautiful yeah quentin emerson nelson here's a good

get mad at andrew because he's just a fucking beast on the field uh and he's the guy so I would not get mad at andrew when he'd say nice hit but also we didn't let up we I mean yeah we didn't let up a lot of sacks and stuff so I didn't really hear him talking but that one play pissed me off because like me and castanzo just double team this guy and like put him on his back and our tight end came over one of them not gonna name any names so you know but you're not jacked oil yeah it's jacked oil no I don't believe so but erik you he helped him up and I was like dude don't fucking help him up what the fuck are you doing like if you if you pancake a guy you can help him up but don't don't don't fucking pick up a guy that I just pancake right that's my that's my bitch that's why you didn't

front of it i'm just gonna tweet it just to take away because it's gonna happen like tomorrow morning i'll probably get tagged in a billion of those so just going to get in front of it you know okay we should do one where we're just also the port of israel and then boom cut to it sorry oh which one the hank as well the dab the port of wisconsin yeah that one too oh yeah let me get in front of that i'm just gonna i'll just do a thread where it's like before before everyone shits down my throat let me shit down my own throat uh all right let's do some segments we have a mount flush more and we also have talking soccer talking soccer man city defender kyle walker had a sex party during coronavirus i don't know why you gotta specify as a sex party

well it was a party for sex do we know that was a party for sex or was it just a party two guys two girls who happen to be sex workers hanging out do they have to like that's kind of insulting to say just because you're a sex worker for your job that means that you're always having sex that's not necessarily how it is i mean i i won't disagree we can't just jump to conclusions that having a party with multiple prostitutes then means it's a sex party right it's like us yeah we're big sports fans we like talking about sports but just because the super bowl is on that doesn't mean that we're gonna be watching sports so wait so was it under 10 people it was four people oh so then what's the deal not even an orgy not even an orgy if anything yeah he was

practicing all the cdc cdc guidelines right the shitty party yeah he was probably helping the girls out because he knew that maybe if he didn't call them over to his house they would go to some place that was like a bigger sex party with 10 or 12 people i'm reading this right now yeah this is this isn't even close to a sex party it's a sex date yeah and just because just because this guy kyle walker broke up with his girlfriend annie kilner because he got a model loren goodman pregnant doesn't mean that this guy's just obsessed with sex all the time okay so i don't know why that was necessary to even throw into the article about it agreed agreed agreed um okay that was talking soccer that was big time sports news that felt good to to talk a little sports there for a second

don't talk enough about how there's a team that's just straight up called man city like a man cave but bigger mm-hmm they uh and they they went a lot um although they're they're actually this is actually something that i don't know what actually rob manford actually said that uh if the baseball season doesn't happen a j hinge has time served and man city's in a similar situation where i think they have a champions league band for like two years so if this goes on forever they could basically never have a band that's why iona hired rick patino yeah did you see by the way rick patino here now we're really talking sports rick patino and his son richard patino jr the littler of the rick the patinos uh they made a bet on wrestlemania and the loser had to do had to bring their team

to the winner's home court next year iona minnesota oh i like that that's pretty cool right yeah pretty cool yeah you have to schedule that stuff like three years in advance no there's always open dates obviously you're not playing xbox 360 with with college football and college basketball dude you can you can change around the schedule all you want you gotta lock in your obviously your conference games come on well with the exception of like Notre Dame alabama in 2045 which right the weekend that's going to be on right don't schedule a wedding that day right um but yeah it's kind of the patinos making things fun i like it kick the yeah i get them back involved i mean i i could see you can't you can't make rick sit out post seasons for stuff that he had like four or five years ago

oh i think we're getting over what's that i think you can no it's not in the middle of a national crisis like this this is when we all have to pull together instead of just pointing fingers at each other so i as far as i'm concerned unless you're in prison for murder or rape just like clean slate after this it would actually be nice chances it would actually be nice for uh Cuomo to have rick patino at one of his press conferences just have him handle some questions for old time's sake yeah i mean i think the two of them probably have a lot in common i do you like Cuomo rick patino is probably a nipple ring guy yeah oh yeah big time nipple ring guy if he doesn't have him he loves him um did you see the the actual graphic i tweeted out yesterday from uh Cuomo's press

conference and conferences had personal opinion i want all this to be over thank you sir that was that was actually a slide next to him while he was giving his press conference sorry if this offends but i'm sick of this bullshit i fucking he's writing like he's writing very sad poetry yeah uh on his power points um all right let's do our mount flushmore then we'll get to billy deep dive with billy we're doing the mount flushmore of smells uh we have done the mount rushmore of smells i think sport smells did we not yeah obviously yeah i think just smells i think we did the mount rushmore smell so this is the mount flushmore smells uh hank it is monday so it is your pick first number one overall pick will be rotten milk expired milk yeah okay big time big time bad

smell and it's one of those things it's worse when you don't think about it you don't think it's coming and you're like oh i'm gonna have a bowl of cereal and then you're like you open it up and it just hits you and you're like oh fuck this is expired it's also one of those smells like some of these smells you can avoid that's one of those smells that to if you see a milk is expired you will go smell it like you will go take in a big sniff of it and then just be floored by it yeah i'll even do the thing where i pour a little bit of the expired milk i don't know it's expired yet but i pour into the coffee and then it comes up to the top and it's all like curdled and grimy and i'll see that it's rotten and then i'll have to get a smell in too mm-hmm okay pft uh my first

one i'm actually shocked that hank didn't take this first overall burnt hair burnt hair is an awful smell if it's like on a candle at a restaurant yeah accidentally leave your hand over it for a little bit too long whatever the circumstances may be if you smell burnt hair you know exactly what it is and you hate it burnt i got something i feel like that's something that a person with long hair like yourself would deal with more than someone like me a big cat because i didn't even think about that you straight like you're having out candles on birthday cakes the hair just like yeah your hair just gets stuck in like a random candle and stuff yeah i don't trust myself with fire so i tend to avoid that at all costs but yeah i could imagine if you have hair that's down to like your

waist and you're cooking over an open flame um that could happen a lot but yeah it's a terrible terrible smell and it fills a room too and very quickly will expand uh okay my first pick i'm gonna go with a uh bottle of dip spit left in your car or anywhere and then you open it up after a day or two especially if it's in the sun whoo that is one of the worst smells in the world um and then i'm what you say pft no i was gonna say agreed strong agree if you have dip spit and you just leave it out you're an animal it's gross yeah it's an animal move um i'm gonna go with my second one the no smell when you have no smell because you have the coronavirus and you might die that's a really shitty smell to have when you can't smell i guess you're the negative guy today

well we're we're we're we're using a baton here pft just handed it to me okay pft your next one big cat with just no smell the absence of smell entirely all right because you have coronavirus not you know obviously there are people who like oh i have a stuffy nose no big cat said no smell yeah that was your answer well i said that's well because of coronavirus i said no smell no dog poop while you're indoors so dog poop outside is bad but if you smell dog poop and you're sitting somewhere with a roof over your head you know that the situation is really fucked up something bad has happened and you have to you have to clean something up yes yes feces out of water is bad uh i have two i will go with your buddy's hockey bag

mm-hmm okay yep that's a big one if you have a roommate that like plays hockey it's terrible or like if you ever get in their car in their hockey bags in their trunk it's just like you have to have the windows down at all times i don't know how hockey bags like it's just a thing though it's just like oh yeah i have a hockey bag it's the worst smelling thing on planet earth that's just like the norm yep agreed and then i'll go with like someone else's shit when it's fresh like if you're in a let's say you're in like an airport or like you walk in the bathroom and someone just walked out of the stall but you're too late so it's like you just get in but you have to just sit there and like deal with it that is the worst

thing in the world and it's even worse when you know the person like if you if i see you big cat walking out of the bathroom as i'm walking in what the fuck it's happened why me it's happened it's happened wait are you talking about the solo bathroom no even just the bathroom at work it's like oh then you then it hasn't happened because i don't shit and i don't shit in those other bathrooms at work i go to the solo bathroom okay all right but that's the worst but yes it is the worst i was using you as an example yeah it is weird that like your own poop and your own farts can smell good from time to time but somebody that you know slightly their poop and farts smell way worse than a stranger's poop and farts yeah yes yes big time big time all right your pick

my third pick is going to be alcohol on someone else's breath especially when you're not expecting it that's it's always like a little jarring and you secretly look down on that person but then you're like i i've been that person probably a hundred million times in my life i think it has to be when you're sober though if you're also drunk it doesn't matter as much but when you're sober it is the worst that's what i'm getting at unexpected alcohol and somebody else's breath is sweating like sweating out of their pores yes and they and they're in it also is a deadly combo because they're usually if they're drunk and you're sober they're usually talking really too close to you yes so it's like the double whammy there um all right my last two

i will go with um i'll go with a dead body that probably that's that's a bad smell real real bad smell like a dead decaying body gross melt the dead body i mean i've smelled animal dead bodies yeah carcasses gross is that the same though yeah i'm sure they're similar they're very similar right i mean dead bodies and and dead bodies a dead body a lot about dead bodies yeah it seems like you may or may not have experienced this with your own own two nostrils plead the fifth plead the fifth pft actually said that i'm out of jail after all this so no i say unless you're a murderer um well first degree you're accused murder third degree uh all right my last one will be kind of similar to pfts but coffee breath when someone has coffee breath and they

won't like you don't know the one person who just has coffee breath and and gets way too close and they're usually just the one person in your office that is will never be aware of the fact they have terrible breath but that stale old coffee breath is gross all right um my last one this is gonna be kind of controversial just kids kids are typically very smelly things i don't know if it's one of those things where your own kid smells better to you than somebody else's kid yeah i i just don't think i don't think i'll often be around kids pf yeah that's weirder than the dead bodies you're smelling kids no kids have kids definitely you have a smell to them i honestly don't know the last time i've been in

a vicinity of a kid yeah i used to work in a daycare situation so maybe that's where i got it all from but yeah i mean like poopy diapers smell but kids i don't know i mean like my kid smells when he shits himself and he does it like four times a day like father like son i think there's a difference also between babies infants and kids yeah probably like babies i think smell good right some kids yeah babies smell good i guess it it's kind of one of those i think kids are are very similar to like adults where there will just be kids that don't have good hygiene yeah true uh hey what was your last one um my last one is the poison gas in in call of duty war zone so like in the game as the circle closes there's like poison gas where if you're not inside the circle

it kills you and there's been two times in the past two nights where like instead of getting killed i just die because i get poison gassed and it's just embarrassing and it's it's tough to deal with that's a bad one that's about what we miss big time eggs eggs on eggs yeah eggs uh the smelly train which is kind of like it's it could basically just be bo slash poop but like when you get on the train you're like oh sick a seat and then you're like oh that's why there's a seat um i had one dogs i wet dogs i had one specific one that's very gross that i don't know if uh anyone there's probably a few people are listening can relate but stella has uh like has to get her anal glands expressed every couple months that is the most disgusting smell like of all time i just didn't

pick it because i've won him embarrassed that i like know what it is and two i think a lot of people probably have no clue what i'm talking about right now no it's it's a pretty common thing for dogs but just the term anal glands it's i take her to the vet now for it thank god i used to do it on my own which was like horrific now it's like 30 bucks to just take her every couple months but it's fucking terrible embrace the bait uh it's the only thing that makes you cry but do onions smell bad no no but it makes you cry i don't even think the smell makes you cry i think it's uh the stuff going into your eyes also the onion like onions sautéing onions is like the greatest smell ever yeah some butter yeah hank so it's not the smell i don't think that makes you cry it's like onion

particles that go into your eyes if you wear goggles where you're cutting onions i don't think that you cry interesting all right yes that's why i didn't put it on my list but it is only like if you know a food that makes you cry like that's bad yeah old seafood fish yeah some fishes i was a busboy in a crab restaurant for a summer and that's a smell that you don't get out from under your fingernails for months also um just the in the middle of the summer basically just the street of new york like it's it's you know when you hit that corner and you're and it's you're usually be like a little bit of liquid in the gutter and maybe like a dead rat or something and it just all and then there's some garbage and it all combines to the worst smell

of all time it's the garbage wind yeah yeah hot garbage wind that hits you and it's just like a wall of pain but there's also that weird you know you'll have that discharge liquid sitting there that's been sitting there for a week because there hasn't been a rain and a dead rat and it just it's a perfect storm of bad smells rats in general would go on that list too you remember the rat cave that was right around the right around the corner from our old office oh it smells so bad okay the rat there were a couple nights i mean he is yeah rats and pigeons are probably having a field day right now right yes well not a lot of people around it to just like throw food everywhere but there's garbage like my apartment building is throwing away more garbage than i've ever seen

envelopes so maybe one of them will get uh you know to the right place send it to every blood bank in america i think my blood's valuable please take it yes so today we're gonna start on vikings i just started this by googling vikings because i think they're sick and there's probably sick facts about them and this one goes this is this one's pretty crazy so hold on to your seats where i'm about wait billy how about what if what if pft or big cat tells say what they are knowledge of vikings are and you can fact check them oh wait what's up okay uh vikings would just go everywhere and like in our word a lot of people and kill a lot of people yeah red skin they would do that a lot speaking of redskins um the um it's actually a couple diseases that are linked to vikings that

has been chose their spread across one of them has to do with cirrhosis of the faith i'm not cirrhosis like you have ready red bright red face okay um eczema yeah it's like you know like the acne alcoholism exactly it appears in alcohol it's a lot okay so pft would you know uh they got the they were the hats that have horns they don't have them that's a lot what what clock twist okay tell us um that was like i actually didn't figure that out on this but there's like no vikings with like horns they didn't have you ever seen a cartoon what about the logo the vikings logo yeah i'm not sure if that's real you know like the sky room yeah no it's uh different but um yeah they like had advanced um like social laws and like they basically had like a form of socialism

before like carmark so that's pretty cool what year were vikings like doing their thing um basically from pre roman times to 1066 and 1066 is insane i'm getting that to that too oh what happened 1066 that sounds juicy just wait yeah dude it's this is gonna be insane just that's a dynasty for sure that's that's a thousand years pre roman to like like crazy stuff also where were they where were they were they were in norway so the so you know the vikings they so like a bunch of vikings they just basically it was way too cold and they're like this place sucks let's go find other places because a bunch of like non firstborn sons were like you know dad gave the farm to the firstborn son i got nothing i'm gonna go find stuff got it they went to iceland they call nice iceland

and then this dude eric the red basically catfished everybody and said yo there's a better island called greenland which actually wasn't green it was icier than iceland and that's why greenland in iceland totally should have switched names um isn't isn't iceland just like a mistranslation whereas it really just means island maybe okay i like the catfish way more yeah so the catfish for greenland is real i think where he eric the red was like no it's really nice there so so like i'm reading all about vikings and like how did these guys not conquer the world that wasn't the native americans and 1066 so 1066 there's three names that you gotta know here because it's gonna get confusing there's herald godwinson who is the saxon's basically english there was herald hadrada who

is the viking king so we're gonna call herald godwinson h god for all intensive purposes and then the last guy's william the conqueror who's like the most famous of the billies in my opinion so straight up is it the goat billy i he probably did with his boys they're like yo but uh 1066 was like march madness how many battles happened there was like multiple battles back to back like so like i'll give you first herald godwin's h god fought herald the horrible herald hadrada at the battle of stanford bridge and then got back on the road down to hastings and in the battle hastings got actually collapsed by william the conqueror but let me tell you what happened in the battle so we're not going to talk about battle of hastings because it was just a blood

bath um so herald h god um herald hadrada the horrible landed in northern england like north umberland as we called and basically they got to this bridge and both armies were on either side of the bridge and the bridge like pretty slow so like pretty like um slim so it was like two men like three men could get across it so here so there was this so like they were fighting this dude this freaking giant ax man on the vikings took on the whole english army and this dude like legit took on the whole army and no one could kill them they weren't going to win the battle as they killed this one giant viking dude with a giant battle axe that like so he ended up getting killed and the only way they could kill him was a dude in a half barrel floated down the river

and with a giant spear stabbed him up through the bridge and this dude had no idea he was just actually bodying everybody throwing dudes off bridges and he's just like was staying there and just got freaking in the tank in the probably it was going up and that was the only way they killed them and like but like that's like the original off sides like you can't like you know i'm saying like went under the bridge yeah line is fair one more yeah no but then the vikings were like yo throw the flag what are you doing and then the english just took advantage of it like free play and like messed them up and i'm like and like they like yo do you like in the yeah the giant had held off because there's a sneak attack by the english he held off the whole army on this bridge

for enough time for the reinforcements from the boats to come so then um it sounds like the 300 where if you force your like an outnumbered enemy into a really narrow place to fight you can kind of level the playing field a little bit yeah so this one giant dude so the battle was they beat the vikings but it was pretty close up until the the stabbing with the giant spear so the like they said that the fields were white with bones for the next 200 years whoa yeah so then the english like we're like we've never seen a warrior like this before like they couldn't bury him he didn't get a viking burial because the vikings couldn't gather they're dead so you know when they put him on a boat and they light him on fire that's a viking in the water so then um the english were

trying to bury this dude so have you got to that scene in uh in Game of Thrones jet pft which one the viking funeral with edmere all right all right they just they just blew up uh the dude ship using all that weird like green liquid inside the ghost ship oh yeah oh wait that's based on a real thing called greek fire which is actually pretty sick we will talk about i called that i was like that that empty ship it's a bomb boom so um then the they couldn't bury this dude they couldn't use a coffin because they the only built coffins six and a half feet and they used the same feet as we do today and this dude was like we couldn't find a coffin for him he was at least like seven to eight feet tall this guy and he wasn't like a he wasn't like a uh they said he had giant's blood like he was

like a half giant he's like he has giant's blood like this is why but um the uh what was i saying so then i was like what and they were talking about he went berserker mode and held off also turns out oh no there's this whole warrior cult that is pre christianity pre like Thor north mythology and it's based off of hunter's magic where they worship bears and wolves so they were first so the berserkers the berserker gang which is like sicko mode yeah like sicko mode absolutely sicko mode so these were first described by this dude um this roman uh general whose name is trajan who's like imagine like julius caesar uh like like lil caesars type you know roman dude and he was like yo these these warriors would just fight us naked in no formations in one or two like small groups

like not like their armies would stand back and just send five crazy mother crazy dudes like at their shields and would break up whole shield formations there's like there were like the fiercest fighters who felt no pain no fire like would feel nothing so like basically i was reading the descriptions unsullied yeah imagine adam feeling like injected with rabies and like on molly because these guys were they were just a west welker yeah they were like okay foaming at the mouth and they would bite their shields and these guys would go nuts and like so what else they would do is they saw i was like singing about this like you know these guys are absolute like psychos like like how do i go berserker hypothetically in a hypothetical situation where i would need to go berserker

because like i'm reading about these dudes like like getting off the line yeah getting off the line of scrimmage this is like absolutely like you talk about athletes in the zone like these guys were in like the deepest zone like ever they would describe after the battles these guys would curl up into little balls and just start crying like infants and like would be have no strength but meanwhile like during the battles they would display super strength and like like uh they would this would even happen when they were working so if they would like lift full like tree logs like of giant trees because they'd go berserker when they had to like build big ships so these like so basically i researched this like a ton like how the hell did these guys do what they did

and it's either three things genetic mental illness huge consumptions of alcohol with genetic variances or magic mushrooms or other naturally occurring hallucinogens now this is where it gets interesting by the way berserkers still have influences today all the kings in europe wanted to be guarded by berserkers and the english guards today you know with the big furry hats yeah it's bears fur it's an ode to the berserkers who just fight naked with bare hoods on and like it's the source of like werewolf mythology like like these guys were the og werewolves well billy i was i was gonna say this sounds a lot like pcp you always hear stories of people that like smoke pcp and they think that they're superman they're walking down the street naked and they're punching fences

down and they're like throwing cop cars out of the way they're like they're just walking down the street and they're just going crazy that sounds like berserker mode to me yeah dude it's absolutely insane so then like i was like looking at it wasn't actually magic mushrooms like psilocyblum but it was like other naturally occurring drugs and the herbs and Scandinavia or whatever so i was like whoa i need to start researching like the properties of these things because like look i'm not a drug guy i don't do drugs we already have a drug guy i'm not a drug guy so i know one guy who uses mushrooms and he's like he's this dude he's like a family friend he's basically like another grandfather he's like salt to the earth in the original sense of the word like x lobstermen

from maine like he's super old right now he's on oxygen because he smoked too many sigs and like awesome guy like like he's taught me so much about everything but now he's like got super bad arthritis so he actually he's like a blue collar guy like he's not a hippie but like he started to advocate for medical marijuana for his arthritis because he has like two replaced hips and he was telling me about how he like started to get like what he thought was dementia he's getting forgetful so he started micro dosing psilocybin mushrooms and he was so i called him and i was like yo like tell me about psilocybin mushrooms he's like oh they like saved my brain like um and he told me about all the research they have and how he's advocating for it as well

to be legal in micro doses in certain like in a medical way by the way i'm not in all way telling people to do mushrooms or anything don't sue me or something i have no idea what i'm talking about i'm not a doctor also he's talking about what does this have to do with viking mushrooms which doesn't be really exciting drugs to go berserker berserker mode dude yeah why don't you just pick up one of those black medicates from doom because that's the berserker pack right berserker dude like this is this is where i got adhc and went totally off tangent because i was like in no way oh this is this is what happened i'm sorry wait billy all right i'm gonna get us back on track here i got some questions that you can answer vikings good or bad um really good inventions

and seafaring this and like but you know if you like held them to modern standards terrible people okay uh good answer um what inventions did the vikings have that we still use today a lot of stuff in naval a lot of naval stuff okay yeah ships ships um did they drink out of skulls yeah definitely they drank out of corns oh by the way they also had various poets like they did consider poetry back then like like we consider rappers today and these dudes would diss each other and like they'd all get up in the beer hall or beer halls or whatever they're big like halls and they just like the royal like king poet and he just get up there and just like spit and they're just like they would roast each other and they'd roast each other and all sorts of

stuff so anyway so i got onto the mushrooms how does it how does it wrap up billy this is how it wraps up so like i've been thinking a lot about the future of football okay okay here we go let's land this plane baby and i was like what's the biggest threat to football besides the very obvious c c c o v i d word um because so i was like it's like physical damage and mental damage and we're finding huge strides and cbd for like physical like physical pain stuff like grog's been talking about a lot of course and then i've been thinking about concussions because like thing about concussions is like concussion protocol may work but no one wants to go into concussion protocol right no one wants to sit in a dark room and miss all their classes

and like have to catch up on homework and like teachers like oh like concussions like even teachers don't take concussions seriously like yo you still have to do all the work that you missed and it's kind of like no one actually wants to put themselves under the situation it's like oh like sorry i got concussed week five professor like can i please you know like maybe skip my midterm because i haven't been able to study for it and they're like no you have to retake it and it's just like but i'm like stupid right now right what you're saying is that if you take mushrooms immediately after getting a concussion you can alleviate some of these symptoms i'm not saying that but if they do the research and develop a drug where it's like okay this would actually speed up the process and

you don't have to take stupid impact tests and stuff i mean they really work i know they're like a lot of science behind them but they're just so annoying like like the shapes and stuff it's so annoying so so essentially vikings might have uh cured concussions and say football yeah dude think about it these berserkers definitely had cte and like a lot of them lived to super old ages and wrote the sagas that were about themselves so like these guys were you know copus mentis enough to write about themselves when they're old so yeah are you saying that beowulf like that was written by somebody under the influence of mushrooms hypothetically yeah i mean that would make sense you know so i like it billy i like it it's a good deep dive yeah so like let's like if we can like use viking

you know like medicine to like cure cte but like actually do put it through all the tests and stuff like that would be like we could save football in like generations of you know people can play football more and enjoy the sport that like honestly unites america more than anything especially right now beautiful thank you billy i could have said better myself i let me let me just i'll finish here uh before we end the episode but i think it's just a simple elevator pitch yo science ever thought about berserker mode mhm yo sir it is exactly right and and and that is our show billy thank you everyone tweet billy uh what you want to hear about next week maybe we'll we'll you know tweet something very specific so we stay on topic but this was great i like going

all over the place i'm thinking biohacking next week okay there you go i wouldn't just can you give me a sneak preview of that because it sounds interesting um just like a bunch of dudes off of the ground it's just love the ground oh wait see you guys no oh it's not better to be safe than sorry oh anyway

oh me
