So we're here in NOLA.
We had the media night on Monday night.
And what a night it was.
Yeah, really the only thing that came of note from it,
I think, was there was a couple troll questions.
Who would do that?
Who would do a troll question?
Disgusting to Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes.
The Kelsey one, I think he was actually pissed.
Did you see it? Well, I saw a couple questions. There was one reporter that
asked him like back-to-back Taylor Swift questions. He was like back-to-back,
that's nuts. That's crazy. Someone said to him, what do you love more Taylor
Swift or Phantom 15-yard roughing the passer penalties? And he just was not
asking about it. That's a good question. And then someone asked Patrick Mahomes who his
favorite ref was. That's also good. Yeah and he said he not happy about it. That's a good question. And then someone asked Pat from Holmes who his favorite ref was.
That's also good.
Yeah, and he said he's going to check
and find out what the guys.
The NFL released, I think at the refs,
the NFL Ref Association,
I'm pretty sure they have like a union,
they released a statement saying they take
an enormous amount of umbrage at all the accusations
that they've been favoring the Chiefs.
Yes, Roger Goodell said it as well. He's like it's crazy these conspiracy theories are nuts.
Also we found out from Roger Goodell that we might get a flag football league
soon. Yeah. So he said they're they're working on it and then Florio reported
that they're not just working on it. It's like happening. It's already going. How about a league where they hit harder?
Yeah it blitzed the league. Yeah what you should have said there Hank is flag football league
We already have that it's called the NFL. Yeah. Yeah, but I
Listen, I'm not I've always I've got a big head. You don't realize that they're gonna event like this is a long game
Yeah, it's true. This is what they're gonna do. What about like flag football?
They're gonna be like well, here's all say is that if they do it if they do it correctly
It would be like a perfect, like
I want to say May, like just do like a three day tournament with all the players.
I would watch that.
For flag football?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd watch that too.
If it was NFL players playing, I would watch that.
I like where Hank's head's at though.
Maybe instead of a league where they hit harder, a league where everyone has weapons.
Like you actually have a baseball bat as a linebacker.
They are, imagine if they do actual flag football league
and they figure out a way to do like a roughing the passer
from homes because they took his flag too hard.
Yeah.
It's Max week.
Max week.
It's Max week.
Birth week.
My body is probably two thirds gumbo.
Love that.
Just swollen.
We're feeling good.
Yeah. We're sitting in New Orleans right now. What could be better
than this? The air was thick today. Just could drink the air. Feels good. Max
is there Max Hank. You guys were out on bourbon street last night. How was that?
Yeah, fun. Yeah. Love this place. You just locked in. Yeah, I'm trying. I'm
trying to win a Superbowl. He's basically doing the Marshawn for us now.
Yeah, I'm just here to win a Super Bowl.
No, I said I had fun on Bourbon Street, but it's Super Bowl.
Other big story from Goodell's press conferences,
we have done it, boys.
We did it.
Congratulations.
We ended racism.
No more end racism in the end zone.
It only took four years.
Yep.
That's what's crazy.
It's like, how long since the end of the civil war was that 18 when that
1865 to 65 1865 until 2021 we didn't have end racism painted in end zones and
then 2021 we decided let's do something. Yeah, let's fix this and we fucking
painted that shit in end zones and we did we put on the backs of helmets and now
Racism is dead done see a racism now. I think it's gonna say it takes all of us to do what?
Anything okay to continue to not be racist
Yeah, you do ignore all the freak events that are happening the Hank is not ignoring. Yeah takes all of one of them says
Like you're the one sending them to me now. That's all you do all day.
I mean, I see you. Yeah. Yeah. Choose love. Is that another one? Choose love is also gone.
Choose love is gone. We're choosing hate. Okay. I mean, but what about calling a time out
to hate? Oh, we're calling time out to hate now. When you call time out to hate, you're
basically timing out and then being like, let's hate. Yeah. So that you can get better
at hating when you get back. Yeah. Time out to hate. That's timing out and then being like let's hate yes so that you can get better at hating right when you get back yeah time out to hate
what Hank does yeah time out to hate would be great if it was if they did
that actually in the game where it's the announcers like fuck everything mm-hmm
this is bullshit all right time back in all right and we're back and it's 14 13
great game being played my guys are a little bit winded up we need a we need
call a timeout they're gonna go out there and they're gonna be really
fucking nasty.
The big news though, the NFL news is Miles Garrett has requested a trade. So Cleveland
Browns fans sucks for them. They tried to do a protest. Two people showed up at the
stadium, which I actually say kudos Cleveland Brown Browns fans because protesting a guy asking to be traded
in the middle of February,
like good job Cleveland Browns fan,
you're not gonna just be like,
oh, because you know what would happen.
If a thousand people show up,
then it becomes like a viral meme of,
look how stupid Browns fans are.
So I defend Browns fans in this is like,
don't show up to that, it sucks.
I feel bad for Browns fans, but also Myles Garrett
He does probably have a few good years left. He wants to win a Super Bowl. I would say he's probably in his prime right now
He's 29. He's still really fucking good. I saw someone did a stat of like Aaron Donald's
I can't remember who else was on it
Khalil Mack and it was like after
20 29 30 like you might get like one or two
really good years but they will tail off. But the crazy he had what 14 sacks is
here yeah and he had it on a team that stunk offensively. No he's still very
very good. It's not like he was on the field in a lot of like you know late game pass rush
situations. Yeah. He's still got 14 sacks. I think he's like in his prime solidly
right now. Who's he gonna go to? I think he might be that boy might be commie. Yeah, I think so. I think so
You don't want that max. Oh
We're talking about next year. Yeah, talk about next year. Yeah, you talking about I'm so playing this year
Yeah, but no, but a couple minutes ago you were saying that he might be a bird
Well, I mean that's what people are saying, but I'm worried about this year
I'll let you worry about next. Where do you think miles Garrett's gonna end up?
probably Eagle
Yeah, I think it would make sense for the guy it would make sense for the commanders it would make sense for the Bills
It's bills commanders
Packers eagles. I've seen the Bears run around.
I don't want the Bears to trade for him.
Not that he's not good, but the Bears have too many holes.
But it feels like a team more like Packers, Eagles,
Commanders, Bills.
Patriots.
You guys have a lot of holes too.
Yeah, he can be a big, big fill for those holes.
That man can fill the hole.
He can fill the hole.
I've seen him in the sweatpants.
He can fill the hole.
And also, Cooper Krupp is getting traded,
which that was kind of crazy that he just, I feel
like they probably weren't happy that he announced that.
Well, no, it was, uh, the team decided to trade them.
Yeah.
And so, and so he was like, they've decided to move on from me.
Right.
I'm letting you guys know it's not my, it's not my call.
It's your call.
Yeah.
So yeah, I was looking at his numbers too.
Um, he obviously had that great 2021 season.
One of the best seasons of any wide receiver of all
time. Since then hasn't really been a top tier wide receiver.
And he's I think $20 million or something. Yeah. So I don't
know. I don't know how that's gonna work out. I mean, I think
he's still pretty good. Commie. He could be a commie. Yeah, fuck
it. Spread the love around spread the wealth around what
Hank?
Maybe picture it maybe Patriot
Well Belichick's not a coach anymore. You would get Cooper Cup in a second. Yeah
I do feel bad for Browns fans though because miles Garrett you I
Mean you went to the playoffs a couple times, but you wasted his prime. It sucks. It's just once they go once Yeah, just what it sucks you're a Browns fan, because it does tie into the Deshaun Watson trade.
Yep.
Everything they gave up for that guy.
And it was as bad a move as you could ever make.
And it's also, I don't know, the cap makes no sense to me.
It never will.
But they're way over the cap.
And if they trade him, I think he still
carries an insane cap hit.
So I don't know what the Browns did.
You asked Mason Rudolph about that.
I don't know how that works about that yeah I don't know
yeah I don't know how that works out but
I feel like two first-round picks that
seems like a fair a fair deal for those
Cluel Mack was two first-round pick yeah
two first-round pick seems like a good
deal I would I would love for him to be
a commander I would absolutely love that
I want miles scared so bad okay so sign
up to come to DC Miles I know you're
listening to the show come on appreciate you don't listen your Long. He's going to feed you a bunch of nonsense about the birds. Don't listen to him. He's high. He's stone. He's not making sense. I am I'm clear minded of sound body and mind sober. Miles come to DC will treat you so good buddy. We also had more reports from the Luka trade,
and it just gets dumber and dumber.
This guy should be in person.
Nico Harrison, the big report came out,
and they basically did what we predicted,
where they were like, Luka's fat, and he's so fat,
and we can't have him signing it.
Like, the quote that stuck out to me, they were like,
yeah, we didn't know if he was gonna sign the Supermax
and we were kind of like half hoping he wouldn't.
It's like, what the fuck?
It makes no sense.
So yeah, Nico Harrison did this all at a coffee shop
with Rob Blinken, Rob Blinken essentially just heisted him
and pretended like, oh man, I know this is so difficult
for you, like we'll keep this under wraps,
just the two of us.
And then he happened, he's like,
whoops, we got the best trade ever.
Do you think that Rob Pelinka in those meetings,
the thought occurred to him that maybe this is
an episode of Punk'd?
Like is this a hidden camera show?
Seriously.
Like I'm just gonna try to play it cool?
And Rob Pelinka did like the-
He's like, eh, he's kinda fat.
You're right, yeah, nope.
The whole like, oh well the Chris Chris Paul trade got out when David Stern
You know, you know put a squash to it
The Anthony Davis trade got out the first one from the Pelicans and like that ruined a lot of vibes
Like we got to keep this tight. We can't let anyone know. Mm-hmm just for the sanctity of this trade
And he goes like you're right. You're so right
We cannot tell anyone and then it hits the airwaysaves I was like there the Mavs are giving back
$2,000 refunds for anyone wants to cancel their season tickets credit to them. That's how bad this trade
That's a good front office that knows how to take care of their fans
If I was a Mavs fan, I would I would never get over it. I'll never get over it
No, but you do you know you literally deserves to be in prison. It was it's malpractice
Yeah, the only way you can reasonably get over it is if like Luca ends up being like 320 pounds yeah
you got to hope he gets real fat I also really against Luca you don't want to
really like you know nothing against Luca it's also insane that everyone keeps
saying the 270 he isn't he like six eight yeah yeah 270 not that big yeah Right. You're worried about the soup. So you're worried about soup. Yeah, no, he's just upset.
I am upset.
I am upset.
Yeah, the the Luka thing, the fact that that Dalton Connect was even tossed out there and
the Lakers were like, I know, you know, including Dalton Connect, I think that kills the deal.
And the Mavericks were like, oh, fuck, they're gonna walk away.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll say yes. Lucas six, six, six by the way and his listed weight is 230
He is not 230. That's pretty awesome. But yeah, he he he did his press conference
He was like I was just as shocked as everyone else. I thought it was April 1st
There was that sad story that he just bought a new like 15 million dollar house. So
Sure, it's the root Luca. That's brutal. It's really bad. Yeah, he's gonna have to sell that house
It did seem that the GM Nico was like, just trying to avoid doing more work this summer
and next year. Yeah, you know, it's a it's a hard conversation. Do you want to commit this much
money to him? Didn't really feel like going through that discussion. So I just got him off
my table. Yeah, didn't want just didn't want him to gain a single more pound. There was a funny
story that Harold Bob went on
a podcast. He used to work for the Mavs. He said his first time going to the Mavs facility,
Luca was working out in a sauna suit. And then after the practice, they got catered
by Tex-Max and Luca filled up like a huge jug with just sweet tea and lemonade.
It's the Burt Kreischer with Kool-Aid, right?
But it's just, you knew this was gonna happen.
They were just gonna slay him.
I thought you were gonna say queso.
No, I thought that.
When he was telling the story, I thought the same thing.
I was like, oh, did Luca just walk away
with like a gallon of queso?
Yeah, that would be awesome.
But yeah, they then banned sweet tea and lemonade
from the practice after that.
So they just, they don't wanna let the guy fucking live.
You know, it's interesting. The double standard the the media has when LeBron James puts on nine pounds
during an NBA game we all talk about what a freak athlete is when Luca puts on nine pounds during a
practice it's like oh this guy's got a problem this guy's got a weight problem. Yeah it's I don't like
to slander on Luca he's he did wear a fat guy outfit today He had the the button-up shirt and then the sweater over top of that
So yeah button-up was holding his physique in and then the the cardigan was covering it all up
Yeah, it would be very funny if he just showed up day one for the Lakers
It was in the best shape ever like chiseled six-pack
Apparently LeBron called him right away and said I
Understand he said I understand what you're feeling. How does LeBron understand what he's feeling? LeBron has literally decided every, every
step of his. That's the opposite of what you're feeling. Like understand how it is. There
was a report that Lakers tried to trade him to the Warriors last year and Rich Paul was
like, no, I don't know how LeBron understands what Luca's feeling. I guess in the grand sense, like maybe he just has empathy.
Oh, actually know what it was?
This because when the story broke, LeBron was at dinner.
So he probably was like, I understand what you're feeling.
I'm full too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You and I were not so different.
Oh, yeah.
We have to take a shit, Luca.
I understand what you're feeling.
Yeah.
I think if the Mavericks win the NBA title this year, that would be awesome.
And then if the Lakers won the NBA championship,
like for the three years after that, that would be very funny. Yeah. Um, so yeah,
shout out Luca for the $15 million house. That's brutal. You know,
I mean moving does suck. I'll say that. Yeah. Even as,
even as a guy who makes it all like has over 200 million in the bank
It doesn't matter moving sucks. Yeah, so
Fifteen million dollars I thought I thought his house would be more expensive than that you think so cheaper in Dallas
I don't know like once you get it. Yeah, what are mansions like in in Dallas Hank? They're nice
Are there a lot of them? Yeah, I've got a pool better price for me. Yeah, he's got a bowl hot tubs
Yeah, no, the drywall work is shoddy to say the least oil oil oil good point man yeah great job max was that a fat comment for
Luca no I think he was literally meaning oil like oil money okay yeah I was
thinking about oil big oil the dumb, the dumbest trade ever.
I don't really know how it's how could it just still like I thought that after two days
there would be a little more clarity and it would be I was expecting there to be like
a Luca injury.
We didn't know about it really just boils down to Nico Harrison's a moron and they were
scared that Luca was going to keep gaining weight.
It also could be trying to get a favor from LA.
And then they'd have to deal with it in the summer.
The casino.
The casino that the Mavericks owner wants to build.
Yeah. Yeah.
Or the ratings in LA thing makes sense too.
Well there's also-
But that's a conspiracy.
I don't want to go down that road, but it's like, you trade, you know,
league ratings are going down, there's issues.
You trade the best player to the biggest market, international, that helps.
What was the casino?
But that's a conspiracy.
Dallas is not a small market.
That's bad to go down those roads.
Yeah.
But it's not LA.
It's not LA.
What was the casino conspiracy?
So the casino conspiracy is that the owner of the Mavericks wants very badly to build
a casino in Texas.
Right.
Like at the site of the Mavericks stadium.
Oh, because I heard it, there's two casino conspiracies okay so I want to hear yours all right all right so so he
wants he's on the record he's lobbying in the Texas State Legislature which
means it meets for six months once every two years they do all their work in
those six months and then they just they just go away and they don't do anything
for a while so if you want to get anything done in Texas Hank wants to be a
legislator so yeah you should you should work in the Texas State Legislature Hank. I'm down. Yeah, yeah
Indeed step number one get established residency in Texas
You know any house that you could live in he's already got his image in there. Yeah, all right
So yeah big footprint for Hank in Texas already
They do all their work in six months and they go away and they fuck off for a
while.
The owner of the Mavericks has been lobbying to get this casino built and to
lobby for like legalized sports gaming and for gambling in Texas.
The legislature is like, yeah, fuck it.
We don't really feel like doing that because we might lose some votes.
So we're not going to do the whole gambling thing that pissed off the owner of
the Mavericks. Now the conspiracy is the Mavericks owner wants to send a good player to LA to get on the good
side of the Lakers because they're like the most powerful voice in the NBA. So in a couple years
he could threaten to move the Mavericks to Las Vegas where they have legalized gambling.
So the conspiracy theory that I read kind of blends into that one where it's the owners
of the Mavs are basically trying to alienate the fan base so much that the NBA will eventually
add two more teams and the Adelsons, I think their name is, will move the Mavs to Las Vegas and then there
will be an expansion franchise called the Dallas Mavericks.
Yeah, no, that's pretty much the same thing.
But it's like the NFL used to do this until there was a team in Vegas.
It was always great having Las Vegas without a team because any owner, anytime they wanted
money from, you know, when the billionaires, they don't want to pay for their own fucking
stadiums, you can bleep that out they
would say yeah well we could maybe move to Las Vegas right and then the local
community be like yeah I guess we have to give you all the money for our
schools yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah which in fairness would
you rather have a good school system or a winning football team hmm winning
football winning football team. Yeah.
I don't know why I paused for so long. I'm not thinking about my kids for a second. I was like, it's better for kids. You can
trick them. You can root for football. Just give them YouTube.
They can learn football math. Yeah, just log them into x.com.
The better your football team is, the more numbers they can
pack. It's yeah, they are the media.
Alright, should we do Hot Seat Cool Drone

Oh, my hotseat is the MLB.
Oh, OK.
And I'm not a conspiracy guy.
No, no, never were.
I'm just chill, just vibe out.
What happened to that bridge?
Let life happen.
Whatever happens, happens.
C'est la vie.
The dolphins. But if you were a conspiracy guy, you might be like, this is fucking insane. About bridge let life happen whatever happens happens sestille of the dolphins
But if you were a conspiracy guy you might be like this is fucking insane
the MLB had to
Fire a ref because he was umpire sharing a ref. Sorry umpire
He was sharing a gambling account with another gambler who was gambling on baseball including the games that he was umpiring
Was it like his brother or was it just a friend? I'll say it.
Professional poker player.
I'll say it. Oh wow.
Yeah.
This, they should fire him.
You think so?
Sharing a gambling account is a felony.
Yeah.
Like not even just legally,
I'm just saying that's the most psycho thing I've ever heard.
You having to track everything you bet
and then all your, everything your friend bets,
that's crazy.
And then if you hit a couple of bets, then your friend tells people like hey look at all these bets
I hit that's insane wins insane
pre-crime
But he said he never bet on baseball directly or indirect don't care you shared a gambling count
That's weirdo behavior, but that account did bet on baseball. Yes, and he was roughing, right?
Uh-huh, but also just like you don't even if the MLB was like we don't even care about the
whole betting part or the baseball thing, we can't have people employed by us who think
it's okay to share a gambling account.
Yeah, it makes no sense.
Makes no sense.
I think it's like old school when like I like way back in the day when my friends would
text me being like, can you put this in for me?
I'm like, no, because then when you win, I'm just gonna have to pay you because I lose
all the time yeah I mean
shout out to to light switch Lou because I used to not gamble as much money so he
would just let me bet on his account but then I never really had to pay yeah
baseball umpires are frauds anyways I used to think they were all fat because
they wore the chest protectors yeah I think they used to be fatter back in the
day they did they've gotten a little bit in shape I don't like probably nothing yeah mm-hmm
probably nothing yeah wait to know I there's something there what I don't
want weirdos umpiring baseball games was he the umpire for any like significant
games I did not say in the article that I read we got to go back check that'd be
funny if he shared the gambling account with Shohei. Or Ipe. Yeah. We're sharing the gambling account and you're like, hey, I'm going to go umpire tonight.
And I was like, hey, by the way, I'm betting the Orioles.
We did all kind of stop talking about the Ipe Shohei thing.
Yeah.
Ipe is in jail.
Yeah, Ipe, he begged for leniency.
I don't know justice for eBay maybe
Possibly store more to come. Mm-hmm. I'm a cool throw. It's Kendrick Lamar. Yeah, okay
It's after we taped on on Sunday, but he won five Grammys five and oh not like us
Every Grimm that is nominated for he won
Super Bowl halftime Super Bowl halftime. I was having a hell of a week. The whole crowd sang A minor.
Yeah.
And Drake's, what was it from a Drake song where he said Kendrick opened his mouth, give him a Grammy?
Yeah.
That's tough.
Yeah.
He's wearing a Canadian tuxedo. It's really, it really is.
And yeah, it was like, oh, he won five Grammys.
Oh, he's doing the Super Bowl in a week.
Has there ever been more of a like blowout
Subjective loss saying that that the kinderic Drake thing turned into like obviously art is entirely in the eye of the beholder and
Different people can have differing opinions
But in this one thing where people can interpret it
Either any way they see fit like this is as big of a blowout as you'll ever see
I have a diss track the record of the song of the year way they see fit like this is as big of a blowout as you'll ever see. Ever.
If it distracts the record of the, like it's the best song of the year.
Yeah.
In the entire week.
And he made the song in like two minutes.
Yeah.
And here's the Super Bowl too.
Yeah.
Good job.
Where you're going to have everyone say, probably you're going to have people sing the pedophile
line.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was like a nine nothing soccer victory and three of them were own goals.
Tray.
Tray's fairly good.
He has to basically release the best song of all time.
I don't think it matters at this point. I think he's, I think he's just cooked
disappear. I think Drake needs to sue everyone that's listened to the song.
He needs to disappear and make the best song, best album ever.
That's like 10 of the best songs ever. And then maybe he has a chance. Yeah.
Okay. PFT. Good job, Hank.
Are we going to talk or are we going to mention the Mac story before the Lane interview?
Because he's on my cool throne too.
Oh no.
Well we can.
Jalen Hurts.
Oh yeah.
We went to the Eagles Hotel today.
What happened with Jalen Hurts?
We were going to do Lane Johnson.
Yeah we were going to go do him.
Going to interview Lane Johnson. Sorry.
And Jalen Hurts was just having me
walking by us in the hallway and Max
like hid behind a column.
Like he was not supposed to be like,
he's like, oh, Jalen Hurts, oh!
And like hid behind a column and then kind of peeked his head out to like
look at him walk by.
You were like in the bushes. It was so funny.
It was so funny. I was scared.
He's done merch collapse but it's like
he saw him and he was like I was nervous I was expecting to see him we were
standing right it started off I just stared at him and then I think he saw
me staring at him I was like this is awkward and you got the red eye I just
got scared and went behind this little pillar
So what'd you think when you saw him he looks strong yeah, mm-hmm real strong yeah, and he was walking well Yeah, I analyzed the guy walking walking strong. Yeah, walking coffin no sight of a limp
He's gonna fuck shit up on Sunday. Yeah
He's gonna fuck shit up on Sunday. Yeah
No, like I came here to fuck shit up yeah, but fuck shit up could go
No, I came here to fuck shit up. That's like that's what you're saying he's gonna hand the fuck out of the ball on Sunday and
Throw the football he can do both and run the full and run the football
You can do everything and score the football. He said he wanted he said it's not the tosh pushes there's a QB
sneak yeah that media night beast the Packers president said oh he hopes that
it gets banned who I think I was having this conversation with Jerry does he
have the best goatee in sports right now oh yeah interesting embrace debate
easily we don't have a lot of relief pitcher goatees like we used to know that was like it was part of the uniform code
He's already off. Yeah
He does pull it off you just passed over what PFT said I don't remember what he's the Packers
President is trying to get the tush push band. Yeah, they're pussies. Mm- agree. Yeah be better be better. Mm-hmm
It's all I have to say if you don't like to push push don't let them get in tush push situations or
Stop it or keep stop keep breaking the rules until the referees threaten you with a touchdown. Yeah, that's what winners do like that
No, he didn't know. Okay, your hot seat cool trong
My hot seat is the birds
Birds are on hot seat is the birds. Birds are on hot seat.
Ducks?
Yeah, because like 300 dead birds washed up ashore.
Don't worry about it.
In Chicago.
They said it's bird flu maybe.
Oh no.
Maybe.
Bro, that's the circle of life, man.
Yeah, it is.
Comes for all of us.
Carson Wentz just hanging out.
Do you think he just shot all of them?
I don't know.
That seems like a lot of dead ducks. What if Carson Wentz has to play. Do you think he just shot all of them? I don't know that seems like a lot of dead ducks
What if Carson Wentz has to play in this game this weekend? You're insane Max has gone crazy right now
That would actually
Despite the fact that like I'd need the
Yeah, I would I would root oh so hard just
Even say but it would be so funny
$30,000 but like you said
You in the Super Bowl would be and it would also be like cuz then I could be like well
Sorry, I'm Patrick my homes. He's a system quarterback. We already taped FAQs earlier today. You were like it can't get worse
Oh, that would be, that would get worse.
I would come.
That would be worse.
You said that like in a good way.
Yeah, man.
No, I was just thinking about it.
You say Carson Wentz and I was like, oh yeah, Carson Wentz plays for the Chiefs.
Yeah, but they roll that little freak out there and he just drops 300 yards on you.
What if Patrick Holmes goes out in the first quarter and then Carson Wentz comes
in and sprains both his ankles again and then still wins?
Mm-hmm tough guy
Yeah, that would stink
Would that be the biggest sports story ever ever ever ever ever ever bigger than Luca ever mm-hmm OJ
No, that's not a sports story. That's crime
Kind of a sports story. He was athletic athletic and fast he's a football player
NASCAR maybe that's yeah max I would be awesome I hope now now that's what I
hope happens yeah no I don't I hope that that doesn't happen sorry for sorry for
interrupting you there Carson went Super Bowl MVP all right what's your cool throw my cool throne is
Litigation Because pat Riley has struck a deal
With the NFL so the term three Pete is trademarked by pat Riley from back when the Lakers did it and
anytime a team wants to use the term three Pete they got to pay pat royalties and
The chiefs as we know, he got it when they had two and they were going for their third and lost the
pistons. Yeah. So, but he did trademark it. So yeah, Hank, it is sick that anytime somebody
uses that officially, it's crazy. You got to kick up to the big man, Pat Riley. So the
chiefs obviously on the precipice of an unprecedented three-peat in the NFL.
And they struck a deal with the NFL
that they can put it on merchandise, the term three-peat,
if the Chiefs win.
Does that make you do the fingers, Max?
The NFL seems like they wouldn't do this
if they didn't already know that the Chiefs were going to win.
What do you think about that, Max?
I don't know, I'm worried about winning.
And also limited by Carson Wentz.
Yeah, I shouldn't have said that.
My other cool thrown is style
because I just downloaded the Tmoo app
and you can just buy anything on there.
It all costs like $12.
And so I'm just gonna load up
on the highest fashion sense ever
And you're doing new stuff. They're new fashion. Yeah, but they got sounds like you
It sounds like the P a table they got they got high fashion haute couture on Timo
Designer brands. I'm just gonna order
Means what designers I don't know the gap. No, they're dude. Do you don't know about Timo?
I'm gonna get I'm gonna be so swaggy when I get back from vacation
I'm gonna look like a new man new clothes Sean John. Yeah, whatever echo
I'm gonna do what you're growing up echo unlimited get some yeah some like always was diddies. Oh
Sean Sean Sean Sean Sean yeah, no yeah, I'm not probably not gonna wear that
Yeah, I did get oiled up the other day though. You did
smoothest man in the podcast is
All right, PM TV my hot seat PM TV watch it. My hot seat is college football because we have this from
There's a Twitter account called board geniuses, which is a great follow-up, because they basically just get all the crazy conspiracy theories
and everything from all the message boards.
That's nothing, dude.
Nope.
Well, hot seat college football, because I think
this is from Pitt Panther, so it's from the Panther layer
message board.
It's called the Underground Talent Railroad.
Step one, self-awareness. Pitt, Maryland, Syracuse, BC and Rutgers all
take an honest look at themselves and think, wow, as college football programs go, we're
freaking depressing. Step two, collusion. Well, individually we make our fans want to
bathe with electronic appliances. Maybe we can be something collectively. Step three,
teamwork. Let's create a network where we're all transparent with each other.
Every fifth year, each one of us can take its turn having the A team in the first
season. Pitt gets to have the 22 best players between the five programs in the
second season, Syracuse gets the best 22 and so on and so forth.
We will use unlimited transfers to our benefit and all players who commit to these five schools
will be well aware of the deal in place.
Playing on the A team in a given season
will be a great privilege.
Step four, natty.
I don't hate it.
I love it.
I actually don't hate it at all.
I love it.
I love it.
Yeah, so is collusion even illegal?
I don't know.
Is it?
Who's gonna enforce it? I it you can collude you can
do whatever you want illusion and collabing good point yeah they're just
collabing yeah it's just a hardcore collab most ambitious crossover event of
all time Syracuse pit who else Syracuse so I
minimized it I think was Syracuse pit Ruckers Ruckers and Boston College
and I don't know who the fifth team was it but in reality if you were take like
the all-star teams from those schools and put them together on one team I
still don't think that they're gonna yeah it's still probably you probably
would just get like a better bowl game maybe get into the playoff Maryland was
the other team okay the underground talent Yeah, I don't know why they had to go there.
Yeah, just stick with like serious collusion. Yeah. Well, here's another one
for my cool throne. This just happened. Dennis Schroeder from the Warriors said,
the trade deadline is like modern slavery. Luca Donchich deal shouldn't be
allowed.
I don't know how that would be my cool drone.
All right, well, yeah, because he's had to play,
he's had to play with like six teams in seven years
or five years, that was part of it.
I'm not a- Because he's had to play
for five teams in six years.
I'm not a history buff.
Mm-hmm.
So maybe you guys can help me.
Did slaves get paid?
No.
Okay, do NBA players get paid?
They do. Probably not that much. I do. Yeah. I don't
know. How was this quote? I'm trying to find. Did you get dunk scintilled? No, no, it's
on CBS Sports. It's it's quite a quote. I think I think what he was trying to say is
that it sucks to get traded. It's like modern slavery. It's modern slavery at the end of the day.
Everybody can decide where you're going,
even if you have a contract.
Yeah, of course, we make a lot of money.
We can feed our families.
But at the end of the day, if they
say you're not coming to work tomorrow,
you're going over there, they can decide that.
They've got to change that a little bit.
Isn't that part of the contract?
Yeah, and that's also how trades work.
And there's also a thing, if you're good enough,
you can get a no trade clause. Yes.
Where you can control where you're going.
It's kind of crazy that the organization can tell you,
we want you to be team first, but you're going over there.
It's a lot.
I feel like Dennis Schroeder just figured out how sports work.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a fair point to be like, yeah.
It personally kind of sucks when you get traded.
Here's another thing.
I mean, in the the NBA you have guaranteed contracts
So unlike a regular job where you can be fired and just not paid the NBA even if you get traded you still get paid
Yeah, it's true. So it's not a bad gig. What are you saying?
All-time what bag fumbler? Yeah. Yeah
He had the twelve point four million dollar deal with the Lakers and opted out and bet on himself and got like a
point something
That's gotta be real kicker kicking the dick when you're like, I'd like to bet on myself
And then the casino tells you yeah turns out you suck. Oh shit bet on yourself. Oh, you're a loser. Yeah
Damn max you have a hot sequel to him. Yeah, mine are bad. Oh no
Yeah, mine are bad. Oh no. Should I say it? Yeah.
Yeah.
We're doing a podcast.
I actually will, I'm gonna say this in defense of Max,
for the first time all week, I think he's actually locked in.
Yeah, I'm a little bit concerned about him though.
You didn't let me finish.
Locked in on trying to fight off his hangover.
That's not true.
Not true.
I asked him this word if he went out last night,
he goes, oh yeah.
End of the show, I was pretty, we did the end of the show
this morning, I was pretty hungover.
You look great now.
Right now I feel good.
Yeah, the red eye is really healing.
I have a red eye.
Hank has done thousands of podcasts with deep red eyes.
Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So Huxy,
Kevin Durant might get traded. Oh, that's the Huxy.
Okay. Per Max. That's never happened. No, they said that they're listening to phone calls on Kevin Durant.
Got it. And there's there's a bunch of guys that are doing that now
Traded warriors we go trade deadline. Yeah. Yeah, I know
Trade deadline weeks. I'll say this if I got a text from a random number that Jimmy Butler and Jay rich are going to the Heat confirmed said this is a source. It's real
He's on the on the heat. I mean the sons. Oh apologies, but Bradley Beal has to wave is no trade listen
This is what a random ass tech sent me okay. Yeah, I trust that guy mm-hmm
Kevin Durant, there's there's there's so so that there's listening so Kevin
It's the trade deadline and yeah, Kevin Durant might be traded. That's what they that's what this is a novel concept
So Paul George
Also, the Warriors are trying to trade for Paul George Oh, okay, if Nico calls and Caleb Martin also got in culture. Just get a martini's fucking
Yeah, what he just signed with the sixers you know it's traded him
Grimes all right, but you're just saying names now quick grinds the Sixers. Yeah
But it's actually making me feel
better.
He is.
Are you cool, Jerome?
If you get a call from Nico right
now, though, if you're GM, you're
like, you're so excited to pick
up that call.
Yeah, that's true.
Like, that would be the best time
for Nico to get a great
trade off.
Yeah, because everyone thinks he's a
fucking moron.
Everyone said he got fleeced.
Quinton Grimes is like younger and better than Caleb Martin. That's the big fleecing that they're talking about
South the killer true. All right
Yeah, cool thrown us cool thing is right because we're not what you are right now wrong cool thrown giants
Jamis to the giants according to saquon. Yeah. Mm-hmm. That's it done
Saquon. Yeah. Mm hmm. That's it. Done. Let's get to our interviews. Lane Johnson and then Jameis Winston. Uh one very funny thing on the
set I don't know if you guys noticed this but they made a license plate for
part of my take in Louisiana and just says PMT licks back there because it's
the Roman numeral. Oh. Okay before we get to Lane Johnson a quick word from our friends at Chevy

Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very, very special guest. It is future Hall of Famer
Lane Johnson. How's that sound? How's that sound? That sounds pretty good. Future Hall
of Famer Lane Johnson ahead of his third third Super Bowl appearance here in New Orleans.
Let's start with that. Uh, three Super Bowls, pretty crazy to go to.
You have one, your one in one. This is the tiebreaker. Yeah.
I mean, it's gotta feel pretty crazy,
especially the fact that you've done it with like, I think I was reading,
it's like you and Jake Elliott and maybe one other person.
BG and Rick.
Yeah. And so it's just like you guys are the and maybe one other person. BG and Rick. Yeah.
And so it's just like you guys are the holdovers
from the Super Bowl win.
And then you went to another one.
And now you're here at the third.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah.
I mean, the season takes so long to develop and play out.
But by the December, you kind of know
that your team's in a good positive state.
So man, we struggled a little bit early.
But after that, man, we were off and rolling.
And yeah, man, third, it's crazy.
I mean, you don't plan on it,
but hey, while we're here,
let's have a good time and win this thing.
You mentioned the struggle,
because there was that story that during the bye week,
you guys, who was it?
It was you and a couple other guys went to Nick
and were just basically like,
hey, let's run the fucking ball.
We can pound this. And we're like, let's get, let's get this
out of the mud. Right? Yeah. I mean, I think it was like similar to what we
did in 21 when we played Detroit and went from like really throwing the ball
heavy to like a lot of run play action and then say, quantum bus like 70. It's
like just just tossing the damn ball. Yeah, that's got feel pretty good. Oh,
yeah. First play from scrimmage in the NFC championship game. It's like just just tossing the damn ball. Yeah, that's got feel pretty good Oh, yeah, first play from scrimmage in the NFC championship game. It's like, okay. Yeah, we're gonna do this
We're gonna roll on yeah. No. Yeah, I mean it's
You never planned on it
But his ability to just you know in my ability to just head straight to the bench and when it's not even done
As an older guy now, so I get kind of criticized from laziness
Yeah, you're offensive line in that game
It was it was impressive to watch like you guys are some tough motherfuckers or some big like I'm like the second smallest
Yeah, Jerry's and myself. So we got some monsters
Yeah
I mean the way that that cam was playing the way that Landon Dickerson was playing especially after getting injured in that first half
Like that was you guys left it all on the field. It was impressive.
Yeah, Landon, man, he might be the toughest guy. I know he's had, I don't know how many surgeries,
but in college. And then he could do the splits and all sorts. I got a video. Y'all gotta see if I
have time to find it. Him at Jack Driscoll's wedding, him doing the fucking splits and the
worm. So if we have time, it's kind of not safe for work, but hey.
Wait, so when you see that, when like,
Landon Dickerson and then Cam Juergens,
who, you know, he's got the back injury,
Landon goes out, does it make you all,
as like a unit, be like,
we just gotta be tougher than everyone?
Because you know guys are playing,
like, Cam Juergens was, his back is like broken,
and he's like, all right, I guess I've only seen him on the
BOSU ball for like the past two weeks, like sitting on the
motherfucker like, yes, brought out at practice. What's the
play? But he's gonna make everyone feel like just get even
tougher. Yeah, man, those guys. Yeah, they are. But I think just
how was stout coaches and just guys in the past like Kelce
never missed a game, played lots of games,
and he always had something that was going on.
But I don't know, it's part of the position, I guess.
Are you feeling healthy?
Because I remember last time in 2022 when we came visit you Super Week,
you had like six different injuries that should have sidelined anyone else.
Yeah, I pretty much had a C-section.
Yeah, I know.
You definitely downplayed it too. You were just like, no, I'm alright.
Well, no, it wasn't like it hurt initially and then after a few weeks of, you know, kind of died down. But
after I had the surgery, the groin surgery was not good. Yeah, and you had your foot too. It was the
you had a foot injury as well, I think, going to that. Yeah, but it was major up there.
Yeah, the pain. A little bit north. Yeah, the pain was north.
So are we good now, though?
We're feeling healthy.
Yeah, we're good, man.
I feel no bruises, dinks, dents.
So you had a hernia?
Is that what it was?
Groin.
I tore my both groins.
So my left one was my right.
I tore my left one in Dallas.
And they did the other side, and they said it was already.
So it must have been torn.
I didn't know.
Yeah, I mean, but my right side didn't hurt is on my left. Yeah, I feel like if you have two injuries,
you can your body only really focuses on one at a time. But right, like it's hard to feel pain in
two places. One day at a time. So wait, so you wouldn't have known that you'd already had torn
your groin if you didn't tear the other part of your groin? I think because because I didn't like
I wasn't in any pain. But when I felt the left one, it popped
and I felt it roll up.
It felt like a cramp.
And then after the adrenaline wore off,
hey, it wasn't a cramp.
That's crazy.
But you're feeling good now.
Feeling good now, yeah.
I still got scars, but hey.
Would you lie to us if you weren't feeling good now?
No, I mean, other than this damn pinky
I've had for three weeks, I don't, you know, I didn't get it x-rayed. But hey,
you can't do anything for a pinky. Yeah, just tape it up. Give it a finger. But buddy tape it. Yeah. And are you how many more
years you got left? Because people keep saying that's the story. How much money how much money they got left? Okay. All right. I
like that. But you're not I'm not retiring after this game game. I said, yeah. What if you get Super Bowl MVP?
That'd be pretty sick.
We'll give those guys a drug test and see.
That would rock, though.
Saquon.
Yeah, Saquon gets like 250 yards.
But you have like seven pancakes on all those runs.
You just dominate people.
Offensive lineman, MVP.
That'd be fun to see.
Yeah, I might just take it from him.
Eventually, from his house, he wouldn't even know. You know what I'm saying. He's got so many. Was there a part of you that wanted Saquon to play week 18?
We're just like, because I mean, yeah, yeah, no, we talked about it. But then, like we had the year before AJ got hurt in that game. We had to go play Tampa and couldn't play. So it's like, we wanted the record. but hey, if you go out there and get something happens to Saquon,
they're gonna be off with your head around here.
So, your decision.
Yeah.
I mean, it's your gear.
The way I see it, you look at,
I feel like carries matter.
So he would have had, needed 30 something more carries
to do what Dickerson did for yards.
But either way, it's like, we're at a point in the season.
It's like, okay, now 2000s in front of us is close, it's attainable.
But it's like nothing that you plan on at the beginning of the season.
Yeah.
Until he runs for like 250.
Yeah.
And you're like, hey, fuck, he could really do this.
And it's crazy cuz you're rookie year, LaShawn McCoy.
Yeah, and it felt similar like that.
But I didn't know they had a Russian record title.
That was a big deal until he bought us some watches. Yeah, I was like, hey, it had a Russian record title. That was a big deal. Yeah. And so he bought us some watches.
And I was like, oh shit.
Yeah, I was like, that's a pretty big deal.
Yeah.
And how many yards did he finish up with?
I think he was 16 something, I believe.
Yeah, it was like a little over 1600.
What about for this year?
For this year.
Shady.
Yeah, 2013.
Yeah, 2013.
Saquon's would be, be what 2003 yards or whatever.
Yeah, it's cool down to five.
Because it was exactly a thousand over Stephen Chase.
16, 07 for Shady.
16.
2005.
2005.
OK, it is cool that he got in 16 games too.
So you can say like, hey, you can stack this up.
This is an incredible season.
Didn't they really just mess with the record book
holders at this extra game?
I know.
I mean, damn it.
Everything.
It's about to be moved to 18.
So yeah. Yeah, so that's when you got to get out. They announced the Super Bowl dates that extra game I mean damn it everything if it's about to be moved 18 so yeah yeah so they
that's when you got to get out they announced the Super Bowl dates today and in 2027 I think it's
gonna be in LA and it's gonna be on President's Day weekend which means probably 18 games at that
point yeah they were scheming they're scheming they care about player safety though. Yeah. Player safety first and foremost. Number one.
Hey, I do have to wear that mushroom.
The guardian cap.
The guardian cap over whenever I'm in practice, but in games I'm good.
Does that help?
Scientifically probably.
Yeah.
But I don't know.
Maybe in practice it reduces some of the like small hits that add up.
Yeah, but in practice I mean we all, I mean, run days
like Wednesdays when we pad up, we'll hit another and that it's mostly using hands.
Yeah. So if you were to compare this Eagles team to the other two Eagles Superbowl teams,
who wins? Like this team against the Nick Foles team? Good question. Thank you. I don't
know. It's hard to, it's not really good question. It's hard to compete with a man who speaks soft and carries a big stick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well said.
All right.
Do you want some crazy Lane Johnson stats?
Sure.
OK.
Hold on, I got to finish.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How they stack up?
Well, I feel like we had like a blend to be great for all three teams.
I feel like we might be more talented than last year's Super Bowl.
I don't know if it was as talented as 17.
That's still the best team until, you know,
if we win this one, prove otherwise.
So that's how I see it.
But both you had like older vets, a bunch of young,
like, you know, like Q's, like just super freak rookies
and Cooper.
So.
And this is also, I mean, it's kind of similar.
I know that it was a little different
that the Patriots won a Super Bowl then lost you guys and won a Super Bowl
But that would have been a three Pete and now you're trying to stop another three. Yeah, but either way there
They're in the Super Bowl every year. Yeah, it seems like
The last six years so yeah, man, but with all those teams, they don't make they don't make very many mistakes
Yeah, I mean
They don't make very many mistakes. Yeah.
I mean, I mean.
You guys got to be the trackers, yeah.
What you going to do?
Yeah, I remember, was it week one against the Ravens, the Chiefs?
They were calling a lot of those false starts on the Ravens, on the tackles.
And it was mine and Joanne Taylor's fault for all this.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
Do you think that the refs are going to be out to get you?
Well, hell, I told them to go talk to my parole officer officer Jason Peters. He's the one that told me how to fuck
Just call this number big dumb on the sidelines
All right, you ready for the Lane Johnson sets
Let's go on Sunday Lane Johnson will become only the third offensive tackle in NFL history
To make six Pro Bowls, two
first-team All-Pros and start in three Super Bowls and the other two guys did
it like 40 years ago. So you're the first guy to do it in 40 years and then the
crazy one I'm sure you've seen it and I know it's a team game but since you
since you got to the Eagles when you're not on the field the Eagles are 15 and
23 when you're on the field they, the Eagles are 15 and 23.
When you're on the field, they're 102 and 55.
That's insane.
And they're pretty good.
That's fucking insane.
It's like, dude, so there's six,
650 win percentage with you playing 395 without you playing.
That's pretty damn good.
Do you see those stats and you're like, oh, okay.
The stats I care about is the hurries, the pressures.
Which you don't give up any.
Yeah, but whatever you do, they're tallied.
You guys are like, oh, look at that.
PFF grade.
Yeah, so it's like, I'm not even trying
to press that no more.
I'm trying to fucking get my PFF grades
so I can fucking party.
You know, like party like I want to.
But no, man, I feel like I just, especially over these last years, like I felt like party like I want to. But no man, I feel like I've just,
especially over these last few years,
like I felt like when I had the injury,
like when I was 29, 30,
if like I had some really good years taken away from me.
So like my sense of urgency, the past few is like,
well, I'm in my thirties now, let's fucking,
it's now and ever.
So yeah, man, that's really what it is.
And we have a lot of fun,
but we have a lot of talented guys in the room.
Like, Makai being that big inside
makes passing off stunts so much easier.
Landon Jordan, and our style of offense this year,
like so much run play action versus just, you know,
straight shotgun rushing the snapper.
It changes things for us.
Yeah, do you enjoy pass blocking?
Yeah, when they call it quick protection,
some boots. No, I don't mind it. But I do. It's like going into a boxing match, a pass
block as you dodging punches and making sure nothing happens. And then run blocking this.
Hey, I'm fucking throwing a haymaker back. Let's go. Yeah. When you get in space like
a big angry dog and you just just start running downhill at somebody,
that looks like that's fun.
Yeah, it is.
And especially when we're organized
and everybody's on the same page,
and it just looks like a wave on film.
And then Saquon just, you know,
he does his own, crates his own waves and lanes.
But yeah, it's fun, man.
We have a lot of fun with Stout.
And I was telling y'all about him earlier,
but he's the catalyst to everything, I feel like. Yeah. Were you guys mad at Saquon when he jumped, but he he's the Catalyst to to everything I feel like yeah
Were you guys mad at say quam when he jumped when he hurled someone backwards? I?
Mean that was it was the coolest play ever, but it also was like don't do that. That's a bad idea
I've never seen that I mean I've watched all the Barry Sanders highlights, but that's about the only thing
I think I haven't seen very Sanders do was yeah do that so I
Wasn't mad at it. Yeah, I was on the other side of the field and I saw it like obviously after the game
But I was looking at the scoreboard and I was like, holy fuck. Yeah
How many times you guys watch it and follow so many times?
It's like how'd you see this?
But now it's crazy man, and he's a lot of fun. He's a great locker room guy. He's loves golf
I don't know if you know he loves golf and that's all he wants to do so really the first day he came in we all went a
bunch of guys on team and went golfing and it went from there. What's his game
like? That day he played pretty well there's times where he struggles he gets
super critical of himself and he comes back the next day like nothing happened.
What'd he get you guys this year? What did Jalen get you guys?
They got us nice watch.
They got us the golf courts.
Oh, that's pretty sick.
The golf courts are sick.
That's sick.
That's sick.
You got it at the Bro Barn.
How's the Bro Barn doing?
It's doing good.
Baldy's in there deadlifting about every Wednesday,
Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
That's so awesome.
So Sean comes over a lot, Sean Brady, he trains a lot.
So during the season, like I'm in there sometimes,
but mostly I'm at the, you know, working out.
But my trainer, Gabe, I don't know if you,
Gabe Wrangel, but anyways, he trains a bunch of guys in there.
Yeah.
I feel like Baldy watches more film than most coaches.
That's all he does, he loves it.
He's like Gruden.
Yeah.
He's like one of those guys that he's not going to watch the weather.
He's not going to watch Netflix.
He's watching fucking outside zone.
Yeah.
Perfectly said.
Coming up with nicknames for guys.
Yeah.
With the Saquon Hurdle, did you go up to him the first time you saw it on the video board?
Were you like, dude, you just fucking jumped over that guy backwards.
Did you like-
That's what I'm saying.
Like I know in the past I would have definitely, I think I'd adapt him up,
but I probably just went to the bench and just sat down.
Like I'm glad he's on our team.
Yes.
I was on the other sideline a lot when he did that.
I remember his first time we played him,
the first time we played him in New York
and he had a hurdle over one of our guys and I was going.
He could be pretty good.
Yeah, good call.
Good scouting. We have- That was a good. Yeah, good call. Good scouting.
We have-
That was a good, yeah, it's a good scouting moment by me.
There are some NFL analysts out there that said that Saquon was not a top tier running
back going into the season.
What would you say to those people?
Put your name to where your quote is, buddy.
I hate to anonymous just say it.
Hey, who you work for.
His name's Steven Che.
He works at Parcel Sports.
I said don't draft him because he's only had one season in his career that he's gone over
1,005 yards.
And I don't know why he picked 1,005, makes me think maybe he had a couple seasons where
he had 1,003, but then he had 1,000 yards more than that.
So now he's got 2 or 3,000 yards.
Yeah.
This is also the same analyst that said that the tush push should be banned and that he
hopes that Jalen Hurts gets injured doing the tush push. Well the same analyst that said that the tush push should be banned Yeah, and then he hopes that Jalen hurts gets injured doing the choice. Yes
Well same analyst when I can't find my car keys, you know after 20 minutes of searching for him
I kind of agree with him
Yeah, do you when they call it or you just like oh here we go again, but you know, it's not work
No, not when they call it. It's like the one that you have a Washington goal line situation that rocked
Yeah, and they're just jumping over.
I mean, we saw a loophole.
No, it is fun, but if you do get rocked
or sometimes where you just.
Do you like though watching other teams try it and fail?
Cause you're like, this is, that's, I think the part
that people miss is like, people say,
oh, we want the tush push band.
No one does it like the Eagles.
Yeah, well like, my lot is really good. good I'm okay at it but like it really starts like the center
the wedge and having guard like Landon's you've seen land and land it's a monster
yeah Makai's a monster and but I feel like Brady was really good with it with
the Patriots yeah was really like Josh Allen they were doing the bills were
doing they grew yeah stuffed yeah you gotta watch out for Chris Jones
Yeah, yeah big stick. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I don't speak much. No, no the yeah, Lenin just gets lower than everybody. Yeah
Show you this video. I'll show you him getting about as low as you can get so we know
When Frankie Louva was jumping over and he was doing a couple times, what was he saying after after he would love?
I don't hate that's a like they'll talk some to alignment
But it's mostly like everybody has their fuse going like the DBs and receivers
They got their own fights out there and I don't get to hear any of the conversations and then like the running back say Kwan
Frankie him Bobby like they have their own dialogue going on. Yeah, so that's a good question
What would do it? Yeah, if if the refs had said we want to award you guys a touchdown
Would you have done the honorable thing and say we decline we'd like to settle this on the field like man. I
Declined that I like to sell it with a new freshness
Fresh new set of downs. Yeah, okay. Yeah, maybe if you do the same penalty like four times
Yeah, we'll give you the first down if you go change that in the rule book in the new CBA
Yeah, I think we asked you this last time before the Super Bowl We'll give you the first down at this point. Go change that in the rule book in the new CBA. Yeah.
I think we asked you this last time before the Super Bowl.
What color Gatorade do you guys like to drink?
Just curious.
I like the one with all the red threes in it.
OK.
I'm trying to get them all in me before RFK gets it out of here.
It goes for the reds.
It goes, I guess, for the purples.
Yeah.
OK.
But typically on the sideline, what's in that cooler?
Yeah, what is it?
It's usually like, I think, lemon lime. Oh, OK. on the sideline, what's in that cooler? Yeah, what is it?
It's usually like, I think, lime, lemon lime.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Yellow, usually.
Yeah.
Very interesting.
So clear though as well?
So there's just water?
Yeah, no, there's definitely water.
Then you have Gatorade, and then you have a thing we call Levlin.
It's like, it's a hydration, especially as they put, I guess, more salt in it.
But if you were to like grab one at the middle of the game and like dump it on someone,
would you do like the lemon lime?
Yeah, I mean, that's what's going to be in the cups.
I'm not sure what's going to be in this cooler.
I'm just saying like, Big Cap brought up all those great stats about you and your
illustrious career.
You give me some blue Kool-Aid mix or whatever, I can make it blue for you.
I'll go do that. We'll make it blue for you. I'm going to do that.
Making a color no one's ever seen.
We can't even identify this. All bets are off.
All right. So I told you this when we were texting, but I have a,
I was texting along a wrong Lane Johnson number. How long?
I think it was, it was a year. It was January 9th, 2024
So but the reason why I thought I was still texting you is it started with in January 9th
2024 I released well my computer released the power rankings
Okay, so there's computer power rankings the Eagles were in the super ass category
Okay, and you replied on Twitter dang, bro, and I was like shit. He's pissed at me
I don't want Lane Johnson pissed at me, so I texted you and I said thanks Brian
I was like fuck. I didn't think you'd see the power rankings
Maybe the start of the championship DVD and the person replied this is no longer Lane's number, and I was like oh
He's just fucking with me like he's an asshole
He's salty and then and then it went on where I was just like texting you some more and then on NFC Championship game,
I said congrats, see you in NOLA and I sent you a video of Max spitting on the camera
and the guy just replied, this is not Lane. And I was like, wait a second. I've just been
texting the wrong Lane Johnson. And then I texted Chris and he was like, wait a second. I've just been texting the wrong Lane Johnson.
And then I texted Chris and he was like, yeah,
he had a new number a year ago.
So.
Did the guy identify himself?
No, he's just not Lane.
Does the guy, he must get a lot of texts for Lane.
He must.
If he's ready.
I'm just like, son of a bitch, this is the last time
you're gonna ask me.
Send him a picture of Lane.
Yeah, I will.
Send him a picture.
Hey, having a lot of fun talking to you right now Lane yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna send him a text
right now and be like late one I'm hanging with you I didn't put Lane only
put fucking David Johnson my first name yeah I think I'm a fake all right here
just yeah I'm gonna text him right now I'm a fake. All right, here, just, yeah. All right, I'm going to text him right now.
I'm going to say, great time hanging out today.
Well, your first name's David?
Your first name's David?
Yeah, they probably spent about two minutes thinking of that one.
No, my dad's David.
His middle name is Earl.
And so they built mine up a little bit with Lane.
Lane Johnson is
a much better name for an offense alignment yeah David Johnson would have
been 1970s yeah that's an old field name so have other people said they've been
texting the wrong lane about 500 messages I don't it is the biggest stress but
yeah it's so funny because it's like normally that happens where people have
to change numbers but the fact that it happened right after the power
rankings and I was like, oh, he's fucking with me. No, it's just pretending to
not know who I am. It's happened with some friends and they're like, you
fucking ass. I've been trying to get a holding good for two or three years and
you don't ever reply. They see me and they're fucking super pissed. I love it.
I love it. I just like, damn, fucked up Lane Johnson's mad at me turns out
It was just some random dude who I've been bothering
Big cats computer release those power rankings. You were actually mad though
Like super ass is not super. That's not good. I don't know if you're gonna air this but I don't run my Twitter
I don't have the password. Oh
Or so all that stuff is a Bracke, my marketing guy.
So he actually runs that as me.
Okay, so Brian was pissed at me.
Huh?
Brian was pissed at me with the dang.
Also, he understands traction.
Yeah, but hold on.
He's trying to be a part of the algorithm.
In defense of my computer rankings.
He's in the matrix.
In defense of my computer rankings,
you guys were, the computer said super ass
and then you lost to the Bucks in the first round.
Like the computer was right.
It was right.
The computer was dead right last year.
Dead ass.
You guys had super old contenders all year this year.
Last year the computer was right.
Yeah, no the only time I'd gotten mad with Art
was a couple years ago, like ESPN was like,
he gets credit for being a noisy player.
So for the whole next year I didn't talk to the media once Luckily. They didn't find me, but I didn't say shit
I didn't know what does that mean noisy player? Yeah, he gets credit for talking a lot. That's crazy
Well, if you're in the media, you should want guys like that. Yeah. Yeah, like yes
I didn't think I was I mean, yeah
I talked a lot of shit way back in 17 when I made some stupid comments
We made those comments You got screwed by us.
It's a testament that you still come all of us because we played that back.
We basically said like, isn't it more fun to play for the Eagles?
And then everyone just took it and we're like, Lane Johnson would rather win one Superbowl
with the Eagles.
Six years later, whatever it is.
So that was our fault.
I'm sorry about all the nasty things I said,
Patriots Nation.
I was an undisciplined child whose tongue
got the best of me.
Even if you had said that, what's the big deal
with saying that?
Like, we had fun.
Yeah, they probably had fun too, putting the rings on,
but I don't know.
It was probably because the first time we've done it,
and who's this guy to say anything about having a championship mentality when when all he has is one. I I still only have one listen, you know, I
Had to eat some crow but hey, so you know, it didn't taste too bad. It was our fault though
If I want to super why'd just talk shit for a year. I'd probably retire
Those are rookie and won a Super Bowl. See ya. Yes. Yeah until you get home and you're fucking me malls
They're damn those bucks beat the shit out of you
Computer was right you're super this fucking woman. I'm going back. I'm playing actually
You're not retiring after this game that would be fun well not funny
But if you just waited till like preseason game one and then retired
That would be funny is just yeah, you got to let the guys upstairs know yeah
Yeah, so it's so coming in this year after being super ass last That would be funny is just you got to let the guys upstairs know. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So coming in this year after being super ass last year, when did you realize that you were
no longer super ass?
Probably after about four wins after we started two and two.
But those games like, you know, the Falcons game was very close.
Yeah.
One against Washington was really close there.
So I mean, everything was really competitive
for the most part, but we found a way
to get out of our own way.
And if I can hand the ball to Saquon
and score some touchdowns.
Yeah.
And that Bucks game at the end of September,
you guys, I think that was the last time
you guys lost a game that Jalen played the full game.
Like, so you guys ripped off a ton of wins,
whereas like, yeah, now they're healthy.
They're ready to go. Yeah. That's part of it. And, uh, you know, earlier,
earlier parts of the season, I mean, you don't know what you
don't know far as running play wise. So you got to see what
the team's most, you know, comfortable running and after a
few weeks, you kind of find out, you know, what you're
doing.
Yeah. Is there a moment in a game where you just know that
like the defensive line is so gas and you're like this fucking rocks like I they're they're done they're cooked yeah
when we're running it like especially like four minute we're trying to run the
clock out we they know we're running it and we had to get a new fresh down so we
can you know nail it or take it down so yeah what was that was it the Steelers
game where you guys had the ball for like about a minute might have been a
Steelers yeah 14 minutes but it was. I mean, TJ's out there just fucking,
yeah, you know, bringing hell on earth.
But their whole, I feel like that game physically
was probably the most like tired.
I was all season.
You guys ran a drive that I think was like 15 plays,
11 minutes.
Yeah, and just, but we actually threw the ball
a lot that game too.
Yeah.
So we were, yeah, you got Cam Hayward and Herbig and Highsmith, so pretty good. Yeah. So we were, yeah, you got a Cam Hayward and Herbig and Highsmith. So
pretty good. Yeah. Really good. Yeah. I went back and looked at some of the stats because we always
talked about Dan Campbell as being like the fourth down guy or Dan Quinn too. Sometimes it's like
the Dans are known for being super aggressive in fourth down. Yeah. Your coach, Nick Sirianni is
right up there with anybody. And he actually, if you look at when he goes for it, I think he's
secretly a nerd. I think he knows like, he's got the
analytics, he knows the numbers and percentages. So like, does
he communicate that to you? Here are the exact scenarios, where
we're gonna end up going for it?
Yeah, well, I think this analytics, their purpose is to
be there for those when those calls come up. So I thought they
do a good job communicating.
Especially when the calls up headset, Hey, let's go. Let's make that decision.
Sometimes it's risky, but Hey, that's what makes it fun. Yeah. Yeah.
And it's gotta be until you lose. But yeah.
And you can also do the tush push twice in a row if it's like third and five.
Yeah. Just do it twice. First down. We should do it first down. Yeah.
Do you think you go up and down the entire field? Just push push.
But if you had to, if you had to, let's say AJ, uh, he like,
you have to rotate the guys and just doing a line, just a rotation.
Yeah. I feel like you could, if you had to ball,
so we also started a tush push bowl. Yeah.
That's all you can do. That's all you can do.
That's all you can do.
All right, so I told you before the backstory of this video
I'm going to play you.
We went out to dinner on Monday night, all like a bunch
of people.
I took a bunch of people out, 25 of us in a room.
25 barstool people.
OK.
Yep.
Two women.
It was a big moment.
Yeah, it was a big moment. Two women. Yeah, Two women. It was a big moment. Yeah. It was a big moment.
Two women. Yeah. Two women. It was a great ratio. So we had, uh,
we played a game where we put everyone's name in a hat and we pulled the names
out. And if your name got pulled, you had to give a speech. And we did this for,
I don't know, probably like nine or 10 people. First nine people,
like all their speeches really heartfelt, like love
Barstool, love like this is a dream job, love everyone in this room. Yeah, just
real nice stuff. Just pouring their hearts out. Yeah, right. We're all a
little drunk, sappy stuff. Then Max is the 10th person and he decided to just
give a pump up speech for the Eagles. So I want, I want, I want you to, I'm
gonna play it and then you tell me how you feel about Max's pump up speech.
Okay. I want you to, I'm going to play it and then you tell me how you feel about Max's pump up speech.
Okay.
Every single person could say that they were bested by Patrick.
Yes.
Yes.
Every team in the NFL could say that.
However, it only takes one night to beat Patrick Mahal.
Why not this Sunday night?
Yeah.
Why not?
We are the best.
We are the best.
We are the best. We are the best. We are the best. We are the best. We are the best. night to beat Patrick Mahal. Another night. Why not this Sunday night?
Yeah!
We have the better trenches!
Yeah!
We have the better running backs!
Yeah!
We have the better defense!
Yeah!
At the end of the day, defense wins champions! Yeah! And the winner of the day, defense-wins champion, you!
All right?
So Sunday night, we will fight, and the Philadelphia Eagles
will return as Super Bowl champs.
Let me get it over!
Yeah!
This is a room full of people that don't care about the Eagles, and he's giving us all the fuck up. as Super Bowl champ, let me get it over! You are! You are! You are!
This is a room full of people that don't care
about the Eagles, man.
Give us all the fucking-
To the room that fucking hates the Eagles,
but I thought it was crisp.
There was no stutters.
Yeah.
It was right to the point.
A little bit of, a little too many years of hi-amber.
I was rambling.
It's fine, it's fine.
I thought the pauses were good.
He's like, we got the better trenches.
Trenches!
And then people are like, amen! He was educating them. Yeah. On Sunday night! I thought the pauses were good. He's like we got the better trenches Amen
Cameras rolling or anything he was just
Brian we tweeted from our house.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Max felt like he was playing in the game.
Yeah, no, no.
You are.
This week is a work week.
This week is a week to win the Super Bowl.
Business trip.
It's a business trip.
But Sunday is the business trip.
I feel like they should do, for each team,
if there's a two-point conversion,
they should have some random fan called out of a section. You have to beat the tailback, and you're getting the ball. I feel like they should do like for each team if there's like a two-point conversion they should have some random fan called out of a section you have to be the tailback and
you're getting the ball. I like that. I'm in. I'm training. So everybody can kind of be on watch.
All right so Max you got a question? Yes I have one or I have two questions actually.
First question you've been mentioning him a little bit today. I've been wondering this, what makes Coach Stoutland
the best offensive line coach in the NFL?
Because I feel like he's getting these guys
and that he's like resurrecting careers here in Philly
that other teams just aren't doing.
Yeah, he knows, I mean, obviously he knows football
in and out, but I felt like he's interested
in like how people learn.
So he knows that like we learn visually
so we can accomplish like a lot more doing walkthrough stuff
versus a 30 minute walkthrough will beat a two hour
classroom section covering fucking Charles Dickens
tell two cities type shit.
So that's how it seems to me.
And he makes, and so he understands that,
but he just, really when we go in there,
it's like pop quiz time every time he asks guys,
what three plays do we have out of this formation,
Fred Johnson?
And he asked the question and he points out
who he's gonna ask it to after.
But that's like every day and he's like,
yeah, we're gonna find out who knows this shit in here.
And I'm like, well, hey, I guess we are.
Yeah.
Seems like the best.
Good question.
All right right second question
How does Brandon Graham look in practice is he gonna be full go on Sunday? He looks good He looks like what's the guy in?
Scary movie three that passed the mashed potatoes with that fucking arm
He'll be jabbing he'll be club-rippin with that fucking thing. He's ready to go
And then a wait horn you know I'm gonna try to call the fake Lynn Johnson real quick.
Let's just see. It'd be so funny if he picked up. God damn it. I told you, son. I just ain't him.
You want to call him? You want to leave a message? No, he's definitely, I feel like he hung up on me there.
Or send him a voice memo.
Yeah.
I used to have that number.
I can come back for it one day.
All right, row back question, last question.
R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com promo code take 20% off your first purchase.

We got our guy Rhone here.
Rhone, get up here.
Get up here, Rhone. Get up here, Get up here, Rhone. Let's go.
Get up here, Rhone.
So Rhone and Max are going.
They went together to the Super Bowl in 2022.
They're going again on Sunday.
Hopefully you'll see them later that night.
We already told Big Dom, hey, look out for them.
So I overextended myself in a similar way that Max did, and I sent you a DM on Sunday.
I'm going to read it out loud. Brother. You don't have my number either?
You are a beast. What you're able to do day in and day out is legendary. Others rise and
fall. You are the mountain year after year you are that motherfucker
No one wants to see you impose your will be great
Sparta will not fall
We're doing this interview you just realized that you just sent that to Brian
Funny story I guess grant
We both went though you for a little bit for with SMU
But he was I guess hit me up that summer you know, can't wait to see you in
Philly, be teammates or whatever.
So I guess Brian, like, texting him a few times back and forth.
First thing, he'd come in the locker room, I just fucking breeze past him, like, who
the fuck are you?
He thought he had been talking to you.
He's like, bro, you're a fucking dick.
I was like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Same situation.
Hey, it haunts me.
Here it comes again.
Well, the only question is like, what the fuck are you talking about? Same situation, hey, it haunts me.
Here it comes again.
Well, the only question is like, how did that land?
Do you know what I mean?
Did you get fired up from that?
What kind of stuff do you like to hear
from fans that fires you up?
You know what I mean?
How can we serve you?
We can cater this.
Yeah, we can do whatever you want, bro.
What do you like to hear?
Man, I see everything you said is passion
and all that energy and hopefully in some way
it can radiate to me
and I can use it for the benefit of this Eagles team.
Yeah, I'm just trying to put some battery in the back.
I'm just trying to put some gas in the tank.
But my X's and O's question is, so you look at the Lions this year and you see the crazy
installs that they do.
They have like Penne Souil getting the ball and stuff like that.
As an athletic guy, is there any part of you that's like, hey, it'd be cool if I, you know
what I mean, we get a swing pass to me, or are you just happy?
You know, do it.
You better beat the goal line for that.
No, I would like to have,
where I could just fucking launch this bitch
across the field to AJ.
And hopefully it's not into fucking a safety
that's gonna pick it.
But I'm gonna-
You used to play quarterback.
That's what I'm saying.
I would love to just, and that's my last shot,
and just, and just fling it.
You still got the cannon? Yeah it was I don't know what
they call it now but if I can we'll see. I'm ready for it bro let's go. I like I like

Let's talk about the elephant in the room, erectile dysfunction.
One in four men 18 years and older experience
ED, which means that you or someone close to you
might be experiencing it.
Hank just shook his head no, but that's fine.
Even if it's not Hank, it could be somebody
very close to Hank.
And it's okay, it happens to a lot of guys.
And with a Roxon, they have a new ED treatment gel.
You can get it over the counter.
You don't have to go to a doctor.
It's the first ED treatment gel

And now here's a good friend, Jameis Winston.
Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest,
recurring guest.
It is Jameis Winston, live and in the flesh in New Orleans,
his city.
Can we say New Orleans is your city?
It is.
We can say that, my family, definitely.
Okay, yes, you still got your house here. It's gonna be incredible Super Bowl week
You're doing some stuff for Fox, which I'm very excited to see because it feels like
We need more James Winston our life. You're gonna give it to the people I'd assume
Absolutely, we're gonna have some fun
But it's just gonna be
Showing people the culture of the amazing New Orleans.
Like it's gumbo.
Gumbo is popular here for a reason.
I'm going to give them a little bit of everything.
I love that.
I'm trying to eat 15 gumbo's in the time that I'm here.
So I've already had one.
We'll leave it on Friday or Saturday.
So I'm trying to figure out the best places to go.
So if you've got any recommendations, lay them on us because I love gumbo.
I had to put a list to you, but if you one of my favorite spots is best B spot
It's like Beyonce inspired. I gotta get the street for you
But if you meet having 15 gumballs, like we got to make sure we get you cup size
Yeah, because they're very filling but I think with anybody
Herb saying as well when I think about food, but I think what anybody say like what can I get the best gumbo?
They'll say my grandma house. Yeah. Yeah
Grandma that actually will sit down make the room
I got a cousin on the West Bank and she makes the the best gumbo I ever had
So I would definitely get you a bowl because she knows that Super Bowl is a big week in this Mardi Gras season
Yeah, so a bunch of gumbo being made right now
Yeah, we were very excited for you because this is a great thing that I think that Fox is doing is bringing Jamis Winston on
So you're gonna take people around show them some food and things like that. What other stuff are you gonna do this week?
How are they gonna be using you? Well for the most part, it's it's gonna be like bunch of lifestyle pieces
I'm just gonna get a chance to show everybody the culture that New Orleans has.
We're going to go to Cafe Dumont.
We're going to do a nice segment there.
When you think about coffee and beignets, you think about that spot off the rip.
So what I'm doing, I'm going to give them the best human experience they possibly can
have in the city of New Orleans.
I believe that you will be able to do that.
Yes, absolutely.
All right, so let's talk about this past year.
When we've last had you on, you were a free agent.
Signed with the Browns.
You get to play.
We thought you should have played more.
How was this season overall in your career?
I mean, we need you to get signed somewhere.
We need you to be a starting quarterback,
because the James Winston experience
is our favorite thing.
You had that big snow game
That was so much fun to watch
How overall though would you say like this season went for you personally professionally and where you're at going in the next season
Let's start with personally
just because I think like I
Can get sometimes so wrapped up into what I do that we kind of speed past the whole experience
that you actually had, the presence of actually being
in the Cleveland Browns organization,
witnessing some of the things that I witnessed,
going through some of the things that I went through.
So personally, I would say that it was a season of resilience
because we had some unfortunate injuries.
We had some people that I poured myself into
because my expectation going to Cleveland was to be there to serve Deshaun and be there to provide
this support and leadership for him. And it hurt to see him go down quickly. And then the way
him go down quickly and then the way that people reacted of him going down like me being the person that I am I had to recalibrate some things to have a
complete paradigm shift because of the the love that I have for him and also
the love that I and respect that I have for the game and that city that I just
chose to go to right So that was that was challenging
because football gives us so much. I mean shoot it's giving me everything that I
can even dream or imagine but that moment where I had to get just real like
from a human experience with like some fans the people that I love the most
the people I like making smile.
And that just hurt because we all are humans.
We all have this experience.
We all have ups and downs.
And I think we all are trying to find a way
to cope with those days.
And that day wasn't a good day.
That was kind of like a precursor into the season.
You know what I'm saying? Because what I was looking forward to
was getting that opportunity, being back on the field,
and we had some wins early, but at the end of the day,
I didn't finish.
I didn't finish the way that I wanted to finish.
I didn't have the story that we all wanted at the end.
So that's how I was personally, but the whole process of being with Cleveland Browns
was amazing because this was the first time
my family got up and moved out of the South, right?
So we were in Cleveland and Cleveland was way more than,
way better than what we expected.
Obviously we knew it was going to be like gritty,
we were going to see a lot of iron and steel,
but being from Birmingham,
like I figured that that's how the terrain would be
but the place that we stayed was uh, it was in chagrin falls man in like beautiful place. Yeah, bro for a good
90 days we experienced some of the most beautiful weather. Yeah
90 days, all right
That you only could imagine so it was good for my family in that end but football wise man I'm still
focusing on eliminating one thing from my play so that I can be all that I'm
capable of being in this league yes I like the new personality stuff yes I
like hopping on with y'all but where I want to be in this league is somewhere
where the greats stand and for me to be where the great stand I have to consistently execute
and eliminate one thing from my play and that's just fun.
It's another resilient side to like, hey man, you got LASIK now.
What else do we have to do?
What else do we have to learn?
What else do we have to overcome or take out for us to be everything that we want to be.
Lord deliver me from pick sixes.
And the Lord did.
Yeah, I know, I was just saying,
were you, so you said that after a game where you had,
I mean, I think it was one or two pick sixes.
It was the Monday night game.
Yeah, it was two.
And then the next game you didn't throw a pick six
where you're like, oh shit, God, he's got me here.
Absolutely.
I know he had me off the rip.
When I say that publicly, that outward confession,
like that really was like a, obviously it was funny,
but it was a cry.
I was like, Lord, like hey, I need you.
Stop these pick sixes.
I need you, and unfortunately, I should have,
honestly, that's why it's so important
to be impeccable with your word, right?
Because I should have said picks.
Yeah, I know, I know. Because he gave you the pick sixes. And I promise you, in my choir place, That's why it's so important being impeccable with your word right because I said I should have said picks
And I promise you in my quiet place I promise you I'm saying picks
Maybe just makes you better at tackling. So when you do throw an interception you knock the guy out Yeah, I should have specified Lord. I'm sorry, but I'm tired of tackling
You know I don't have to tackle too many people
Was that also I mean that game like that was like we should have Jamis played Monday night football all-time quarterback
It was electric. I know that it was the pick sixes, but you also made some insane throws. You had what 500 yards?
Yeah, I'm grateful for that
But you know Sean Payne was on the other side a young Bo Nicks from Alabama
Like he was the opposing quarterback like in in my documentary
like that was supposed to be the time
where I'm like Michael Jordan standing right there
because I got Sean Payne, a young buck that I always
love watching him grow up.
I mean, he was in Alabama.
He won a state championship.
I never won a state championship there from Alabama.
Seeing him go to Auburn, he was the kid that went
to the hometown school, got to experience all that stuff
and went off to Oregon and now he's having an amazing year.
So I'm just like, I gotta show this young buck a lesson.
So I'm happy that he had a game,
he had that rope to memes down the middle of the field.
So I'm like, okay, I want you to do something good,
but we also, we got Jerry Judy back coming back to this town
and Sean Payne's on the other side.
I wanna give it to them, pause,
but I wanna make sure that we win this game.
And that's obviously the love and the preparation
that goes into that.
You obviously can see that competitive side
between me, Sean, and Bo.
But I think winning is the biggest thing.
When you're at quarterback, I think that's so important.
Yeah, you have some turnovers here like yeah, you have some turnovers here
Yeah, you have some ups and downs but eliminate negative plays and winning it takes you so far because man
I had the best four weeks of my life just talking to some more people, you know
Getting getting those interviews just because you're winning. Yeah, because you having lights out games, but winning so like record James
We'll talk to you whenever
You're on the show. 100%.
No, I'm grateful for that.
But you know what I'm saying, this is my dream.
Yeah.
You know, like football, like football is,
I'm so grateful that God has given me this sport to steward
with what I got, you know.
And I want to be the most at it, the best at it, yeah.
Lord, deliver me from picks.
That Thursday night game that Big Cap brought up in the snow,
that was a lot of fun to watch too.
And seeing, I forget, was it Tracy Wolfson?
It was somebody that was interviewing you in the pregame.
And they start talking to you about the snow,
and you were locked in very serious,
and then all of a sudden, it's like something hit you,
and you just got this big smile,
and you started looking around at the snow it's like you got transformed
and turned into I don't know if it just took you to a different place mentally
where it woke you up but watching you just embrace that environment on that
Thursday night and go out there and play an excellent game of football was so
much fun for America to watch yeah you know, I have to commend the NFL for their deal with the broadcasting networks
to have that segment now, because that was relatively new to me.
Like, typically, like, when I go back into the locker room, like, I'm getting ready,
I'm focusing on going over my notes, I'm going over my plays, and I'm putting myself in the
place that I think that I need to be for this game.
So when I was having those interviews with Tracy
and others, like, I was already getting to that place.
I was already getting to that place of just presence
and preparing for the game.
So for me to come back out and just be like,
okay, now I gotta talk about who knows
what you're gonna ask.
Like, I already know what the notes that I'm going over
in my head, so I'm gonna repeat those to you because that's the mode that I'm on
I think I think I rewarded them with some good some wise words. Yeah it was great so you'd
never played in the snow before in your entire life? Never in my entire life. What
was it like? It was fun like I think I think it's like any kid that experiences
snow for the first time like you don't know what to do.
You really don't know how to build a snowman. You know what I'm saying? I'm happy with YouTube
is available because that was one of the first things. I didn't know how to build a snowman.
It was awful because I tried to build the snow while it was fresh.
You know what I'm saying? That's a story for another day.
You need to pack it in Yeah, literally like I was so
Enamored with the snow that I was just like man like can I just like do we have to play?
Like can we play a snow like but we did we did play a snow version of football, but yeah, it was amazing
Yeah, it was so so so cold your helmet exploded. Yeah, that was crazy. My head hit the ground.
Frozen tundra, not the frozen tundra I guess,
but the frozen Cleveland Browns ground.
Wait, so did you build the snowman?
So let me tell you about the story about the snowman.
I actually didn't even build the snowman in Cleveland.
I built the snow in New Orleans.
You did when it snowed here?
Yes, when it snowed here. Orleans. You did when it snowed here? Yes, when it snowed here.
Right, so during Cleveland, when it snowed, like I was away from my babies. Like my babies were, like they were at school. We didn't have time throughout the day where it still was
was like for us to go outside and build the snow, right? But God bless us with snow in New Orleans.
So I'm outside there trying to build a snow,
like and my kids, my baby, he's suffering
because we didn't have like the,
we had all of our waterproof like material up in Cleveland.
Like we just got him some gloves from Costco
and we just like, these are gonna work.
My poor foyo like he out there shivering in the snow
because he's trying to,
we obviously having a snowball fight
like the only reason we gonna have this, but the snow like these aren't waterproof gloves so they're
freezing his hands so after one good snowball fight like it's the Winston's like we in trouble
right so we're so we're trying to make the snow right now like I just I'm just making a whole
circle in the snow I'm just like putting snow together but it was like a blizzard snow it
wasn't like it had stopped like typically people build snowmen like when it's when the snow stops and the snow
horns up and you can like get it on the ground. So I'm trying to build this snowman
and I just did an awful job and it rained in Alabama. My assistant Nadia, she
showed me a picture of her snowman and like she had like my my trainer, my
famous trainer Otis Leverett, his wife, the one who does all the
position specific workouts on me.
So they had his football helmet on,
had a glove on, a stick that they had,
they had one of her scarves on,
so it was a good looking snowman.
I had to show y'all this so y'all can see this clip.
So I was looking at my snowman and it just looked like a snow heel.
And it just kept like it was just not good. You put eyes on it? I did put eyes on it. So my cousin again she
she gave my wife like my wife went over to get some gumbo because she prepared us where she was like you
can't be in the snow without no gumbo. So she So she went over there, get the gumbo, and she gave us a fake carrot snows and some things to
put on the snowman because she knew that we were going to build a luxurious snowman.
She didn't know that I had no idea how to build a snowman.
And I'm calling Nadia. I'm like, Nadia, like, my babies, they going to laugh at me
because I don't know how to build no snowman. YouTube, I got this,
this Wi-Fi not working. I can't look it up on YouTube,
like chat GPT ain't working.
So I'm just like, I'm gonna build a snowman.
She said, just build a ball and just roll it in the snow.
Do you know I was, I almost had a frostbite
trying to roll that ball in the snow,
because if it's too soft, it kept coming off.
And I couldn't build a snowman.
My child, he just looking at me like my oldest, Malachi,
he just looking at me like, dad, I can't even tell my friends I can build a snowman. My child, he just looking at me like my oldest Malachi, he just looking at me like
Dad, I can't even tell my friends I can build a snowman because you don't know how to build a snowman
I'm like, well you're supposed to be helping me. All right, so you gotta so that's something we gotta still check off the list
Yes, maybe if you get signed
So what are we thinking where I mean there's got to be people who want James Swenson
You have to stay in the league. You have to I want you starting. Yeah, you need to start
Yeah, what that's what I that's what my heart desires You have to stay in the league. You have to, I want you starting. Yeah. You need to start. Yeah.
What?
That's what I, that's what my heart desires.
Like I'm obviously, I'm looking for opportunity where it's kind of like bridge opportunity
while I get to go in there, lead another young guy and man, go in there and have opportunity
dominate where I'm supposed to dominate, win some football games and have a GM and have
an organization that, Hey, like, man, we believe in, in you, Jamie.
It's like, but I need that opportunity to show that.
Yeah. Because that's why I feel like I'm in that position again, where like, man, I. But I need that opportunity to show that.
Because that's why I feel like I'm in that position again
where like, man, I have to get in that position
and show that.
Yeah, because I, like, your game is not,
you know, there's a lot of backups in the league
where they come in and it's a lot of check downs.
It's a lot of like, hey, we're gonna just, you know,
try to tread water.
You push the ball down the field.
You're making the throws.
And that's always what's so fun when you get in. Like, I even think about that Ravens game where you're push the ball down the field You're making the throws and that's always what's so fun when you get in like I even think about that Ravens game
Where you're throwing the ball downfield and you beat a really good Ravens defense, right? That's
Well that stuff that I do I can do in my sleep
The biggest thing is winning. Yeah, you know I'm saying like I try to shift away from the interceptions
Because like those matter,
but those also accumulate to not winning.
So whatever I need to do that's required to win
and be focused on winning,
if that's going 20 for 28 for 17 yards,
one touchdown and no interceptions, but a win,
like that's doing it.
Whatever is required
for us to win the game is like my focus because obviously I get hyped up and I play so much trust
into my teammates into my coaches and we're out there executing this thing together but at the
end of the day the quarterback position like I got the last say so yeah with that peel in my hand.
Do you have you thought about uh if you do throw a pick?
Maybe bringing back the squint and being like people like oh the LASIK maybe isn't working anymore. It gives you buys you a little time
Yeah, well, I try to eliminate any thoughts about picks. Okay, you know I'm saying
It focuses on winning every single rep
Yeah, you know like because I try to create humor
with the picks, right?
Like, hey, like, it's still a completion.
Like, no, that's not really.
Well, listen, I just played the video game,
which I brought up to you last time,
how I might've thrown some picks with you
when I played the video game back in 2020,
but I just played a full college football playoff
and I threw nine pick sixes in four games.
Well, yeah.
Not with me though, right?
We're eliminating that.
No, not with you.
Not with you, but I'm just saying like,
still won the national title,
so you can still find a way to win.
You can, but all that matters is winning.
And that's you playing the game.
So like maybe when you playing the game,
start visualizing me and record me doing that.
Winning the national, winning the Super Bowl.
Yeah, Super Bowl, we gotta do the Super Bowl.
That's what got me, because I won so many Heisman trophies,
so many national championships on NCAA when it was out.
I never really played Madden that much.
We gotta get it.
We should start playing Madden.
Literally.
Visualizing it.
We'll record the entire season.
You better ask my wife, I got mad. Yeah.
And I'm visualizing it.
And my brother is whooping my butt religiously,
and man, every time I get on the sticks.
Have you thought about doing the VR thing, virtual reality?
Man, so I've experienced that, what Jaden was doing.
So I experienced that.
I'm curious to see what brand he had.
It's a German company.
Okay.
Yeah, I don't know the name of the brand,
but they found him at Louisiana.
They were trying to sell their technology
to any school that wanted it,
and LSU was like, yeah, we want this.
So I don't know if it's like an exclusive thing
that he gets, I don't know what it is,
but it seems like it's a great idea.
Man, I remember when I first got to the Saints,
I believe they tried to bring that to us
and they talked about building,
I think they were gonna build a room for that
because they had it in Louisiana,
but we should have did it at LSU, we should have did it.
But I believe at Tampa, we did an experience like that
where I did have some virtual reality related training at Tampa early on in my career
But I'm sure that the it's better. Yeah
Yeah, I would love to see what kind of training exercises you come up with while wearing the virtual reality helmet to me to at Cleveland
We had some some type of virtual reality type sensors, but it was not like I wasn't immersed in the game
It was like Tecmo Bowl players moving around like slow motion. Yeah we gotta get you on the good stuff. Like this is not gonna work.
Yeah if you're a German VR company listening to this right now you have a potential client here in James Winston. Yes, get it going.
Whatever's required. We were talking to Andrew Luck earlier today and he had very nice things to say about you and he
asked us to ask you about how close you were to going to Stanford
Man, I was I was very close to going to Sanford in my mind, right?
Like Sanford was the dream school that I've always
Thought that I would be at playing baseball and football that because you just think about John Elway, right?
so
academically and football,
athletically I thought that was the epitome
of going somewhere and playing football.
But I knew that I could not be that far away from Alabama.
So Stanford, Florida State, and LSU were my options.
Like they were my final options.
I wanted to go to Texas, I feel like Texas Longhorns. I I feel like that would have fit me well like I even had like this my mama got me this fossil
Texas watch because I told her that's the school I wanted to go to
School I said had I watched to this day, but
Back to Stanford Stanford was was would have been an excellent opportunity for me because nor Davis was there and just Pete
Is this Shazir, he was there.
So like I built some great relationships
with some of the recruits that still were there.
So I really was close to going
if I would have had the courage to take that trip out west.
Yeah.
So long distance to go for sure.
Well, it was like more of a dream.
Like when I went out there on my official visit, Coach
David Shaw was there. I got a chance to speak with Condoleezza Rice. The experience was
unmatched.
What was that like talking to Condoleezza Rice?
Well, it was amazing. Just to get a chance to know that she was from Alabama. I didn't
get a chance to have a meeting with her
like face to face, but having to be able to speak with her
and hearing them talk about how her office
had only looked some place on the campus.
I think that was amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How was the, were you injured at the end of the year?
We just kept on being like, put James back in.
I know that the last couple of games
they gave other guys a shot, but how is the injury now?
It's good.
I did something to my SC joint
and that's kind of like my inner collarbone.
Because of the callus of my AC joint,
I require movement from there in a way.
So for a period of time, it was very challenging for me to throw the ball.
And if you can't throw the ball, uh, elite in NFL, it's just, it's not really
going to work out.
So, uh, it was, it was kind of, it was after the Kansas city game.
Uh, so, uh, I'm, I'm, I'm good now.
Like I can, I can spin it.
Okay.
So yeah.
When does that happen in the NFL?
When do teams start to reach out to you?
I think...
I don't want to get you in trouble.
I think the period is going on, not now, but I think as agents are talking about other
prospects getting into the league, especially the draft senior bowls, the strong bowl. Yeah. I believe they like strategically placing in some of their
free ages for this upcoming year, but I believe, uh, it starts when, when you
really released like the first part of March. Yeah. So I'll just say some cities.
I think we might've done this last time. Yeah. But just, just cities, random cities.
And you tell me what you think about each city.
New York City, or I guess Northern New Jersey,
but really New York City.
I mean, I love it.
The Big Apple.
Yeah, you love, is it big, is it giant?
Is it the Giant Apple?
Yeah, would you fly there on a jet?
I love it.
I would do both.
Okay, okay.
Well, that actually would be awesome if you were recording back at both teams. I would fly on a jet and eat an apple. A giant apple.
What about Pittsburgh? I know they were kind of a rival city to Cleveland, but what about Pittsburgh? What's your vibe there? Man, I love
Pittsburgh, you know, because I admire Coach Mike Tomlin so much. You know, the first Super Bowl ring that I ever held in my hand
was a 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl ring
from Bruce Arians.
So that is definitely aligned with my vision.
But I don't know what my Browns fans will say about Pittsburgh.
That'll be challenging, but it really doesn't matter.
Honestly, that opportunity presents itself. Uh, yeah, I will love,
I will love to team up with coach Mike Tomlin.
What about, uh, and I know we want you to be a starter,
but there are some teams that it feels like maybe they should invest more in a
backup. What about Miami? Like that city?
Man, I will love, I will love Miami. And you know what? Again, back to my whole Cleveland Brown story, right?
Just how it was.
Like, how about Tyler Huntley?
I'm just gonna give him a shout out, man,
because he was with, like,
that was the quarterback room in Cleveland.
Tyler Huntley, Dorian Thomas Robinson,
Deshaun, and myself, right?
That was the training camp.
And for him to have a situation where he and Dorian
are competing and to stay present and go back to Baltimore
and then go to Miami where he from down south Florida,
that area and play some good games for Miami,
I'm so proud of him for that.
But Miami would be good because I got a lot of respect
for Tua and his family.
And if there's one man that I would like to serve, it would be him and his family because
his dad and my dad have developed a great relationship. So I'm definitely pulling for
him and his health to remain strong and to remain in a healing state because he works a lot to stay
healthy. Yeah. And he's a tough player.
So he's going to be good.
But I would like to go to Miami.
What about?
How about Nashville?
Country music guy?
Nashville.
Man, listen.
Cabo Goose?
I do love country music.
Back to the days when J. Go and Luke Brown used to come and visit Tallahassee.
I've always had that southern drawl
to be able to break down a country music album soon.
You would make so much money from CMT
if you were in Nashville.
You think so?
You would be a correspondent, yeah, immediately.
Man, I would love it.
Nashville is, it's pretty cool.
Yeah, what about playing baseball?
Man, if I can get Colorado Rocks signed up
David all like he played for the Colorado Rockies
But wherever have you thought about like maybe doing a spring training? I know that you're that kind of
Conflicts with you know where you're gonna sign, but I'd love to see back on base
Yeah, I would love to to have opportunity But when my focus is focused, yeah, you know football and OTAs and whatever's required in it
I don't I don't believe that I will be able to but man like I can just go to the bank cages like
Somewhere down to the Yankees in Tampa Bay. Yeah, like and just hit some BP there
Did you know have you done like batting practice against like 95 mile an hour fastball since you got LASIK? Have you, do you have not? Oh, you
might be just, what are your Barry bonds? And you don't even know it, man. I'm
definitely not Barry bonds, but what if you're righty? You might be Shohei.
You might be Shohei except better. Like if he was also a great football player.
So I, so I, I trained baseball last year. Like I literally, my brother's hen coach,
his name is, man, it's removed right now,
but my brother's hen coach,
who is a scout for the Atlanta Braves,
we actually train for the first five weeks
in after the Super Bowl.
Every Thursday we hen ground balls.
We were over at Gerard Park in New Orleans,
hitting the cages, like training,
like catching fly balls, filling ground balls,
because I think that is a direct correlation
to playing the quarterback.
When you see how Patrick Mahomes does it,
and then Josh Allen, how they come up
from these different angles, even Jalen,
and his wins, R.P.O. games,
being able to throw from different angles is so important.
And being able to squat down
and move around the pocket, you see how extending the play
is as big as it's ever been in NFL nowadays.
Like if you can't extend a play from a regular routine play,
like you're gonna have a tough time.
Yeah.
Yeah, what about right here, New Orleans?
Got a house here.
Oh my gosh, I would love to be here.
Just-
Family?
Not just family, like just this city, man.
You know, and that's why earlier I didn't say it.
I don't feel worthy enough to say this is my city
because this is Drew Brees city.
Yeah, that's true, that's fair.
Because what he did for this city,
this champagne city, this is Mickey Luma city.
Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
I had to put Mickey out there
because Mickey, if you listen to this, I'm sorry.
But no, I would love to be a New Orleans Saint, man,
because just even the energy here,
it's the same energy that I possess.
And I love my people, so I ain't gonna say, know my day my foot like these my people yeah down here and then
you can see it yeah definitely see it on Fox you'll see me with my people you
know I'm saying what in a words of some a bad rules legend with me you know I
got my people with me do you do you visualize where you're gonna be next at
your next stop in life?
Like do you sit down close your eyes and let the vision come to you?
Man, I'm still honestly my vision my visualization and desires still with being a Super Bowl winning quarterback
For NFL franchise, you know, and that's where there are times where in my quiet time
Where I think about you know
What my heart would desire.
And one of those things right now is
just becoming a better father to my children.
My oldest is about to be seven now
and me and my dad always discuss how the age of seven
would be that time where I would have to bunker down,
put more intentional time into leading my son
to what his heart desires.
Because he felt like my aunt, she always told me that the age of seven is when the kids,
they lose their subconscious and they start to really take in every word that you say
and they start making decisions on their own.
So when I'm in my quiet time, that's the things I'm thinking about.
Like, man, how can I serve my son who's about to be seven?
Because I know it's his own time. Like, I can't be like, when he cried, like I can't say, I can thinking about like me. How can I serve my son about to be seven because I know it's his own time
Like I can't be did like me cry like I can't say I can't be like, oh baby
Like I'm gonna be pushing the limit, you know, but also loving him. Yeah. Yeah, but that's true about the age seven
Yeah, I mean, I know there are a lot of pediatricians out there or people that process this information
Yeah, the age seven. I don't know the scientific term,
whether they lose their subconscious,
but seven is a prominent age for child development
in terms of how they think, how they learn,
and how they go about-
So I got like another year and a half
that I can keep swearing around my oldest.
Yes. Okay.
And then I gotta stop.
Because I do find myself having to-
Well, you just a develop a swear jar
Well, no, my problem is my my kids when they repeat swears. I laugh. Yeah, and then they're very funny
He's laughing and like because you shouldn't be saying that and then they're like he's laughing
So then they they keep hitting the fucker the shit button and I'm just like laughing like no stop saying that
I'm laughing my wife would be mad at me because she did an experiment
to just see how far our children would go
with those words.
Yeah.
And it wasn't the experiment that we thought
that we were going to be in.
We realized that our children, they do listen to us.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
My son thinks stupid is a bad word.
He's like, don't say the S word.
I'm like, shit? And he's like, no, stupid. Oh, whoops bad word. He's like don't say that shit. He's like no stupid
Oh whoops right now. We got two that we got to work about
All right, so we got to find your job. Here's an idea. What if Jamis one of one became your agent?
I think you'd probably get a max deal. Hey listen, I don't know James one on one, but I really appreciate him
Yeah, he's fighting every day. The energy that he puts into like
repping me. Like if you are my long lost cousin or something, man, brother, I love you.
I do imagine one day you'll meet him and he'll just be like, hey I'm just one of them.
I know I am, but like this is, I feel it like you gotta have people that fight
for you. Yeah. Like that. Like and I view it from a turn of just my prayer angels.
I have so many women in Tampa, Ms. Connie,
my mentor, Cynthia Hobbie, my auntie,
Aunt Vonda, my mother, my aunts,
that's Loretta White, Auntie Bernice, Auntie,
like I have so many prayer warriors that are showering me
with prayer, lifting me up all the time.
So I don't want their prayers to go as they're unnoticed.
But when you have people that fight for you
and that lift you up and that are there to encourage you
in your toughest times and are consistently doing it,
like, man, you just gotta get them their flowers
and you gotta be grateful for them
because you don't know how much their energy
or what they're doing is actually keeping
a lot of things away from you
and provide a better opportunity for you
in some way, shape, or form or fashion.
And then in turn, you don't wanna let them down.
Absolutely. Because you know that they
have this deep belief in you.
And you're like, I gotta prove them right,
if anything, you know?
Absolutely. And proving them right will only just do it more
justice for the fact they're like man that's your people you know I'm saying
you do it doubles down on it's bigger than you you know what we do from what I
do from NFL perspective from a father perspective from a husband perspective
it's small to the
grand scheme of things of the impact that I can have on lives everywhere across this
entire world.
Right?
Obviously, within my household, like that's the most important thing right now.
How I go within, how I'm treating my own family is how I'm going to go about doing the rest
of the world.
Right?
Because what I want for myself, I want for everyone.
But I think it is important when you are around people
that are giving you positive energy
to just give them they flowers and be grateful for them.
You impacted Big Cat and myself
when we did those drills with you.
Keep the ball high, I think about that all the time.
But that was our dream.
I always wanted to be there on that arena.
Yeah, yeah, so what are you doing?
You got any new workouts that you've been working on?
Like a dog that's gonna attack you or like some, no, no, no dog. No dog is, there's been dogs. Yeah. There was a Belgian Malinois. My dog, my Tussie, she, she is one of my best defenders and she's not going to attack. Okay. Right. She just, you have had dogs in your videos, the big ball. What's that thing? The machine you were running in that was like, it it was like a big I don't even know what it was
You got so many crazy videos out there. Well, it's intentional. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. I like it
I want I want your I actually would love for your trainer to come up to our office in Chicago and
Send us through so I know you will love it, but I don't know if you're ready for yeah
I'm ready for anything. I don't think you're ready. All right, so does he have anything new this year you think no
We don't we don't have anything new
That's such a lie. I'm gonna we're gonna see a video in like a month
It's gonna be new to the world
It would not be new to us. We don't we don't function in surprises. We don't we don't function is and
You know in conspiracies, we just go we just put the work in and we lock in and
do what's required to be done.
Is there ever a day though that you show up and it's like, you know, maybe it's, you know,
the backyard and it's like, there's a bat, there's like boxing gloves, there's like a
bunch of towels and you're like, what, what's going on here?
What are we doing today?
So if, if you want me to get you a picture of that exact setup, I can give it to you.
I got a heavy bat right here. I got a BOSU ball in the middle. I got a trampoline right here with some towels on it.
And I got some boxing gloves and a half-router. We got to get you that picture.
How often do you work out? Do work out like five five days a week?
So in the early process is just three days a week in the early process means like directly after the season
Toward the Super Bowl when I get opportunity to play in an extended long period of time
I'm gonna continue to do what I've been doing in the season. But three three days a week
Sometimes five if I'm just like, man, I gotta get it.
If I don't got a big stomach, just sitting around.
You gotta watch what you eat.
Absolutely.
So after the season, I eat what I want for the most part.
And once I got here, it being Mardi Gras season, and Ken Cakes opening up on my birthday, you
know what I'm saying on King's Day
And I got a granddaddy that always want to give me praline
It's just too much too much good food. Where's your birthday? January 6?
January guys as well. Yeah, it was last week. Yeah. Well, happy birthday
He's the 31st back to back and my cousin birthday is my favorite cousin to 29
Oh, I can't forget your job. Yeah, there's gonna be some other cousins that listen to this that think you're talking about them
That's not my birthday. I know I'm talking about a thing
Why is Taytay your favorite I think what he's as overcame
Man when we grew up, he was always the person that people didn't mess with.
But, you know, in terms of school, he was always misunderstood,
whether it's from grade school, all the way up.
And I took just a leap of faith, because he had numerous medications.
He was like, hey, Tay, when I go go to Tampa, like man, you coming with me.
Like, and actually it ended up like this.
It wasn't like you coming with me.
It was more like, hey Tay, you come on down here,
spend a good time in Tampa.
Then Tay ain't wanna leave.
You know what I'm saying?
And then I was just like, man, nah, you deserve this.
You deserve to experience this with me.
And like, man, he doesn't take all those mans
that he's been taking man
He's he's finding him a job like he has a one-bedroom
Apartment like he's living a life that a lot of people would have never thought that he would be
Able to live. Yeah through sustaining himself
So I'm just proud of him and that's why I'm a firm believer like you never let people place limitations on you
Right that there is a there is a right situation for you
There is a right scenario for you
But as long as you continue to desire that no one trying to place that hold or that lack on you can stop you
Shout-out Tate. I appreciate it. Hey, I got a random question for you. Yeah. Happy Kug. Yeah, happy birthday. Who'd you vote for for the Heisman?
Who did I vote for?
Well, I voted for Shadour.
You voted first? No, he was on there. I voted for Travis.
And I
voted for Kam Ward.
That's who I voted for. No order, But I know Shadur was, he was just
how my mind just because of what he has encompassed with throughout his whole collegiate career.
And it's similar to Bo, you're right, because I got a chance to be in the same state as
Bo and see him show up. but we all got to witness
like Shadoors maturation process,
even when DM was coaching the high school team in Dallas,
like they had a TV show back then,
because I know prime time is some of y'all
favorite athletes out there.
So just all he encompassed as like his whole
collegiate career, we got to see it,
and he never played a bad game.
All he did was ball, you know what I saying he has some yeah a few losses here and there
But he balled out for the most part. So I had to make sure that he got him a trip up there to
To New York. I don't know if he did but
I'm glad Travis one. Yeah, I'm glad cam one had the year. He he won. I just wish he would went to Florida State
With this in I Cam Moore had the year he won. I just wish he would have went to Florida State. Yeah, we're just in. I just know. Wow. That was crazy. Probably good that he
didn't. That was a bad season for Florida State. At what point in the
season were you like, Oh man, I never, I never lost faith. Um, you should have.
I never, I never lost faith. I just, I just refused to take anybody back. It
was talking to me. You know, um, Did you hear about the guy that wouldn't eat the dog poop?
He would.
Yeah. This is where me and Big Gat lost faith in Florida State. He said he would eat poop
if Florida State lost to Georgia Tech in Ireland.
And what it was Boston College. Yeah.
Yeah. Boston College.
They were like 17 point feet. So they lost week one in Ireland,
and then they were 17 point favorites week two,
I think it was that Monday night game.
And he was like, if we lose outright,
I'm gonna eat dog poop on camera.
And then he didn't, and then he cursed the season.
He deactivated, he left the internet.
And then yeah, just loss after loss, kept piling up.
That's why your season went so poorly.
Oh my God.
He should've eaten the dog poop. He shouldn should have said that he was gonna eat dog poop.
But don't you agree that he should have eaten the dog poop? But don't we all agree like when we're walking our dog like Tussie just did this
today and she sniffs other poop and bites the poop. Yeah. I'm just like why did you do that? Like she's probably trying to get Florida
State back on track. She did it for the nose. Do we not think about that with our dogs?
I'm in your face and I just witnessed you eat dog poop. But for the record,
you think that guy should eat the dog poop, right? I think he definitely should have stood on business.
We didn't ask you about this last time. We were like getting to know each
other and then after we got done with the interview you said, I thought you were going to ask me about
the crab legs. Yeah. So we didn't do that last time but I feel like now we have to. We've always
had your back by the way on this. There's never been any judgment coming from us to the crab leg
story but if you want to speak on the crab leg story and educate people about the truth behind some of the misconceptions. I just want to educate everyone about the new addition of NIL and the things that it
allows our young athletes to do or not to do.
And before NIL, if you did anything illegal, you would get suspended, you would lose your
year of eligibility and
and your career would be over, you know. So I don't condone anything bad happening
from a collegiate athlete that was done between 2016 through before that.
When NIL started, a lot of opportunities and doors that were already open, were re-opened
with the birth of a collective saying, we're going to give you money.
So that is the best political way that I can put that situation.
But you know, I am grateful that the Crab Legs have provided me with so many opportunities
to talk about crab legs,
get crab legs thrown at me, and you know what? Get free crab legs from Fulton Fish Market.
There we go. There we go.
That's the biggest thing.
You would have made so much money in an aisle.
Oh my goodness. That crab leg thing would have never been, oh my gosh, I would have had so many crab legs.
You would have been visiting crab legs.
You think back to like Ohio State and the huge scandal,
the massive scandal.
It was the biggest story in sports at the time
because some guys got tattoos, right?
They got free tattoos for giving their jersey to somebody.
And that was the only thing that we talked about
for like three months.
And if that happened now, it's like nobody cares at all.
Nobody would care. And the same thing, I think, with the crab leg. it's like nobody cares at all. Nobody would care.
And the same thing I think with the crab legs.
It's like, okay, by the way, there are worse things
to be thrown at you for the course of your life
than crab legs.
Crab legs are delicious.
But I can eat them in my uniform.
It's not really fun to be thrown
when you walking into the tunnel.
You know, crab leg.
Oh, I was hungry.
Thank you, Lord.
So we hope you have a long, I was hungry. Thank you, Lord.
We hope you have a long, fruitful NFL career. We hope that you fulfill your dream of being a starting quarterback,
winning a Superbowl, hope all that happens. But when the time comes to hang them up,
I predict that you will have a massive podcast. Yeah. Hopefully a partial sports.
Yeah. But if, if not, you,
we have to be invited on occasionally because we're gonna need some shine from the
James Winston podcast. I don't
I want to give y'all yeah, like a lot of people talk about James you should do this you do that
I don't think people know about the sweat equity that you guys put into this that your team puts into this
Yeah, obviously big names can
get a mic and say their opinion you know but the the intentionality and
precision that you have the thought of y'all guess what y'all doing where RC is
doing with the pivot like it's unbelievable and it's really changing
lives you know what Jay Shetty is doing with On Pro Purpose, like this is a new wave
that our fans are able to really get the quality information
that they need from what they want.
And y'all do that with the best of them.
If not, y'all gotta be the best
because that's why I came over here first.
Appreciate it.
Yes.
But nah, man, I don't think people know the sweat equity
in a team that you gotta have to produce something great.
Like, yeah, I can get a mic, but I wanna be great. You know, I just don't think people know the sweat equity in the team that you got to have to produce something great like yeah
I can get a mic, but I want to be great
You know, I just don't want to do this just to be able to have y'all on the show
It's a hey, you know, I had you know, big cat and PFT on I wish I wish I think about that
Not even with us I'm just saying how you intro that it could be anyone I'd listen
how you intro that it could be anyone I'd listen. No I just wanna do it.
I think you've been watching film.
You've been studying podcasts.
Well I've been studying y'all, right?
Because y'all are great, right?
And I think that's one thing that a lot of great people do.
They study greatness.
So if this is one avenue that I decide to take,
like y'all are gonna be a part of it because y'all great.
You better give me a call.
I listen to the Fox thing, I'm happy for you.
I didn't like that I found out on Twitter
because I was just like, when you do decide to hang them up
and you're like, this is my next career,
just give us a chance.
OK.
Give us a chance to make an offer.
Well, thank you.
I'm grateful that you used Gruden in a podcast together.
That you said that.
He would be elite.
I'm happy that you said that online.
Imagine Jamison Gruden.
Oh my gosh.
That really mean that you care about me.
Yeah.
No, I need to get a call being like it's time.
And then we just hit the button, Jamis and Gruden,
and it just go to the moon.
Ooh, Jamis, strap in.
Jamis, Gruden, and Fred Smoot.
Oh.
Man, do you know one of the first football camps
that I went to was Sam Shade and Fred Smoot?
Yeah.
Did he talk shit to the kids?
In Birmingham, he did.
But that put something in us. And another fun fact, me and my wife was at the same camp. Fred Smoot. Yeah. Did he talk shit to the kids? He did.
That put something in us. And another fun fact,
me and my wife was at the same camp. Oh, that's crazy. So that's how destiny worked, man. Like nothing is done by coincidence.
The fact that we're sitting here again on the pre-Superbowl Sunday, you know,
and with a beautiful background, beautiful cast, like nothing is done
coincidentally. Did you say you met your wife
at Fred Smoot's football camp?
Oh my gosh, please don't put that out there.
No, I didn't.
She just happened to be there as well.
No, she was a camper.
Oh, okay, nice.
So we are here for the Super Bowl.
Max is, if you talk about like sweat equity
that you put into a podcast,
Max has been sweating this entire week.
That's very nervous.
Oh my goodness.
Uh, give us a preview for the game.
Man, I'm, I'm, I'm in a win-win for this situation, uh, because we, we're, we're witnessing,
uh, Patrick Mahomes, uh, do something that we haven't really witnessed be done from another
quarterback, uh, this early on in their career.
So I'm so proud that he is executing to the level that he's executing with his team and
we all get to witness Travis Kelce have the most beautiful, popular woman in the world
win the Super Bowl with them.
I think that's amazing as well.
Just the storyline, just what everything that NFL encompasses, I think that's amazing. But we also, I grew up a Philadelphia Eagles fan, right? I've
always admired Jalen Hurts and what he does from the quarterback position, because I think a lot
of people shortchange him in what he does. And what he does is he does the most important quality
of a quarterback, and that is to win. So I'm excited to see him step onto this stage, him being four hours down the road in Houston, Texas.
This being a home-like game for him.
Two Texas boys with their second matchup together
in the dome, the city of life, the city of resilience.
Will Jalen make the most of his second opportunity?
Will the king rise again?
And how will the halftime show be?
Like how about how about that?
Tried to sue he tried to sue everybody to make them not do not like us. Yeah, he's gonna play that song, right?
Oh, yeah, man, you know, I'm a huge Kendrick Lamar fan
but like I think like I don't want I want to what y'all opinion would be about if Lil Wayne brought
the culture of New Orleans and all the artists in New Orleans and perform. Because most of the fans
there at the Super Bowl, like they're not, they probably not Kendrick Lamar fans. You know what
I'm saying? They probably not Lil Wayne fans. But I think understanding the culture and experience
of this city, what Lil Wayne would
have been able to do.
I know Kendrick is going to rock the house.
I know that for a fact.
But I think Lil Wayne, he wanted that Super Bowl experience to be back home.
I'm a no limit soldier.
We don't die.
We keep rolling.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
That would have been amazing.
I know the block would have been hot for sure. It, that's what I'm saying. We keep rolling. I think that would have been amazing.
I know the block would have been hot for sure.
It's going to be a great performance.
I kind of agree.
I like to see a little bit of the local flavor wherever they're at.
Like when it was in Los Angeles, that was incredible, what they did there.
It would have been cool, but also when Not Like Us drops, it's going to be the best.
Yeah, I think that's definitely the most popular song that we've been accustomed to.
Yeah, that's summer heat.
Yeah, you know, but I don't want no beef for any of them.
I just want my franchise quarterback opportunity to be the winning quarterback that I'm capable of being.
Yes, I love that.
All right.

So we said Max, he's a Die Hard Eagles fan.
Last time in the Super Bowl, two years ago,
he drank champagne the night before.
And he got a little ahead of himself.
Can you give Max just some words,
some James Winston words of wisdom on how he needs to act
going into the Super Bowl knowing that like,
you can't lose twice to him.
You can't have that happen.
Max, I promise you it wasn't a champagne that lost the game.
It might have been.
But Max, one Eagles fan to another Eagles fan,

I'm sure he was dialed.
Did you read that article today?
I think it was on MMQB about Italian culture and the Philadelphia Eagles.
No, but it sounds like a good read. I should get good read. Did they mention Max? They did not mention Max but they mentioned like four coaches on the team how they all go to this one restaurant with this
Paisan that kisses them on the lips sits them down they yell at each other but
some people are like oh they're fighting no we're just Italian yeah this is how we
communicate. Did they mention Big Dom? they did Big Dom was was featured heavily in this Max should have been mentioned
No, no, no Big Dom's father brick layer. Love that blue collar. He's best his hands. All right FAQs
longtime listener first time caller question for Dan and Eric whoa, oh
What government names what tabs do you generally have open for every show, Max?
The ads.
I have usually ESPN, and it's usually like NFL standings.
Because I just forget what every team's record is.
I'll have one page that's open to some league standings.
Yeah.
Usually not the NFL, but I'll just have like
the random NBA standings pulled up
so I can remind myself, oh yeah,
the Rockets are somehow good.
And then I'll usually have Twitter
because I've been starting to bookmark tweets
that I want to bring up, which has been very handy.
That's smart, yeah.
So I'll have x.com, the everything app,
and really that's the only app
that you need to have open at any time.
It's still Twitter on my computer bleep that out okay
so the t-word yeah we yeah I'll have the ads pulled up and then I'll have a
Google Doc that has like links to the tweets and stories yeah that I want to
talk about not a lot of stuff not a lot of high-level stuff or if it's like a
Friday show if it's a preview show I'll put my notes and I'll have my stats
yeah that are pulled up yeah DraftKings odds DraftKings like a Friday show if it's a preview show I'll put my notes and I have my stats Yeah, that are pulled up. Yeah, I have King's odds
Draft King's odds. Yeah Friday show will be Draft Kings will be all my notes
But I do like writing notes by hand
That's what I do on Sunday nights because I think I just I absorb things better when I'm writing them down
I also have flight tracker pulled up sometimes
So have you guys simulator? No, not flight simulator flight tracker
pulled up sometimes. So have you got a simulator? No, not flight simulator flight tracker. My laptop doesn't have the gaming power to process.
You have to only play flight simulator on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Yeah, that's when there's a squadron. Yes, I have to contribute to my squadron.
And he used to have a guy named KKK in his squadron. Yep. For a while,
I was afraid that I had somehow gotten into a white supremacist flight
simulator group and that took some years off my life trying to think that For a while I was afraid that I had somehow gotten into a white supremacist flight simulator
group and that took some years off my life trying to think that through.
Eventually the guy named KKK made him change his name.
Got him kicked out.
Yeah, PFT.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You told us you got him kicked out.
Yeah, you said you got him kicked out.
I don't know if he left or if he changed his name.
Yeah.
I was like, that's my boy.
He got him kicked out.
Way to stand up.
If you stand up even in the small spaces like like your flights squadron. Yeah, I'm making a difference
I took a stand yeah, he might still be a white supremacist that is in my online flight community
He changed different ages change it to white lives matter. He's just undercover right now. Yeah
But yeah, that was a I don't have that pulled up during during the games
But you know that there's been that helicopter that's been flying real low this week
I think it was like flying over the yak yesterday or flying over
Brandon Walker was pissed off about it, but I've noticed it a few places. That's not saying much. I look off about everything
I looked it up. You know what this helicopter is what they call it a nuke sniffer. Oh
It's a radiation detection
Helicopter that's been traveling back and forth across the city of New Orleans every morning
Just chill out man. It's scanning for nuclear. Oh, would you rather not have that? Nah, dude, I
Want the don't worry about it. What are you doing? I don't know this is what you think. Wait, can I ask a question?
That's me. I think I get so question. Yeah, that's the insult question
Do you think the new sniffers alarms go off when Max farts?
I knew that was going to come.
That's a good question.
I knew that was coming.
OK, what was this?
I don't know.
It was some conspiracy theory, so I was looking at Hank
and doing this.
I would rather I prefer the nuke sniffer to be out there.
Yeah.
It's here.
It's checking.
I like that.
Yeah, I like you too.
There's nothing to be worried about. you don't want the nuke sniffer
There's nothing we worried about dude. Well, we never said there's nothing to worry about
Are you aware? Are you so woke and you're thinking that the the helicopter to make us scared and make us think there might be your
Advice no no you
Nor advice
No, the advice is the world is shitty
and shitty things happen, but if you...
Don't worry about them.
If you spend all day thinking about a bridge
that collapsed six months ago, would...
I don't think about anything.
We know that.
Just keep it moving, Hank.
Yeah, just keep living, man.
Keep it moving.
If there's a new care, who cares?
Yeah, exactly.
This is crazy. This guy should probably be arrested. I live in Philadelphia with three other diehard Eagles fans.
We've been dealing with a rat issue out front and on the back patio with our trash cans,
which we have to leave out there.
If the Eagles lose, we decided we would massacre them to take our anger out. Okay. Yes, how should we do it?
Don't it won't matter because we will win by a lot and should we feed them a big meal if we win? I think
Of course Italian food your thoughts
Here's what you do if the Eagles win if the birds win you need to reward those rats and they are your new god
right now, I sub if the
You need to reward those rats and they are your new god right now. If the eagles lose, you just got to get some cats and just let nature take its course.
I don't think that you should kill the rats.
Massacre is an aggressive word for a rat extermination.
Rats are the worst.
No, I know, but just thinking like-
A rat massacre.
That's crazy.
I mean, that's what they do every time they nuke the alleys in Chicago. That... A rat massacre. That's crazy. Just kill it.
I mean that's what they do every time they nuke the alleys in Chicago.
That's a rat massacre.
But do they say we're going to go massacre these motherfuckers?
I mean if you look at the signs it says like this alley has been like carpet bombed with
poison.
Yeah.
So yeah, I'm kind of okay with it.
Rats suck.
True.
Rats suck. The massacre though. Please take video and send it to us. I'm kind of okay with it rats suck true
Rats the massacre though, please take video and send it to us that implies that you're using your hands I don't think that you should use your hands
I think you should use your hands like that's the only way that you're allowed to do it if you can catch the rat with
Your hand and choke it out. Yeah rats never tap
Hypothetical for max
You're out at sea with Jason Kelsey big Dom and Nick Foles. Oh wow who you fucking first?
Oh, wow went out of nowhere. They're all captured by a gang of pirates
You must choose one to set free one to live out their years as the pirates hostage and one to be executed on the ship
Oh my god, what will you do?
Nick Foles Jason Kelsey big one to let free yeah, what does that mean let like?
Captured and then they're no longer captured so I'm a pirate in this in this scenario
You're the spokesperson friends are captured by pirates you're negotiating with them
And I said you can set one free one of us is staying with us forever. You know there was dying right now I
Think this is easy. I
Think this is easy why I
Have an answer you give your answer then Jason Kelsey's a pirate. He was born to be a pirate
He would like probably enjoy being a pirate. I think also if we just if we got rid of Jason Kelsey
Eliminates competition podcast game. Yeah
So if we just if we got rid of Jason Kelsey, it eliminates competition podcast game. Yeah.
Nick Foles, you don't unfortunately have to kill Big Dom.
You set free and then he'll get vengeance.
Big Dom is what Big Dom was for sure being set free.
Yeah, he'll get vengeance.
Yeah, yeah, he will find that was the only thing I knew the other I couldn't figure out
the other two will figure it out right now.
I think this is good podcasting. I don't't know I don't want to answer this question
they're my guys I love all those guys I love all those guys you don't answer them
they're all die yeah
so I have to kill one yeah you! No, you're not killing them.
The pirates are.
You're telling the pirates to execute them.
But the pirates, that doesn't necessarily, they could beat the pirates.
Sure.
I think Nick Foles is such a winner, he would just beat the pirates.
Oh, so you're executing Nick Foles, the one guy, the quarterback who's gotten you a Super
Bowl.
Wow.
You think that Nick Foles would stand a better chance going toe-to-toe with pirates then big Dom would oh
I actually have his numbers recall right now and tell me you executed them. I didn't execute it
It was he I mean he beat Tom Brady
That's true. You would have said the same thing about that. You know Tom Brady didn't pun that Super Bowl. That's crazy
I'm just executed. I didn't execute him. I said I I believe in him to be a winner okay defy all odds that's a good FAQ
Nick Foles very frequently asked question all right last one if the
birds win how much shit do you think Max is gonna give everyone for finally being
a champion well on PMT I actually don't think I think he should be so happy with himself that he doesn't
don't think he's gonna be thinking about us. Yeah, there's nothing that we can say to hurt him in
that moment. I think it's gonna be more like a residual thing like two months from now,
a side comments made and he's like Super Bowl champion. Like that's where you're gonna see it
two months. Full year. Yeah, he's not going to take
it. I'm saying it's not going
to be bad for like a year two
months like I don't think
you're going to come on if the
Eagles win. I don't think
you're going to come on just
like straight talking shit.
You're going to be so happy
about the Eagles and then like
in two months, there'll be
like a random comment. You're
like I'm a Super Bowl champion.
I don't know what you're
talking about. Yeah, but yes
that will last for a long time.
It'll change everything.
It would change everything.
And what happens if you lose?
It's the same.
We've been, we've been.
No, it's worse.
It's way worse.
Why is it worse?
It's just the same thing.
No, it's worse.
Again, it's already looked at as second place guy.
Yeah, it reaffirms.
And then it's just, yeah, that's it.
No, but you get even more second place.
Add another one to the tally. It's fine. Like that's no
Underestimating how bad it will be. It's gonna be really bad. I hope you win for your don't you're right
I don't want it. I don't win for my sake. Yeah
Yeah bad
We're gonna know it'll it'll just be it'll be the same song and dance
Should we cash out and just bet the chief? No
I mean I the one good part about the Eagles winning this would be max just constantly shoving it in Hank's face
All the time. That's fine
What I wouldn't Hank it Hank is my brother in my brother in birds
birds. Okay. All right. We use your words there. I was gonna say brother in arms and I don't know brother in birds. So yeah, Max, if if you lose, it'll definitely be bad. I think it'll be worse. You're underestimating how bad it's gonna be. But if you win, you're gonna do that thing where you get so happy that you're angry. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And you'll be screaming every time you're angry no matter what. Screaming, but you'll be the happiest you've ever been in life. No matter what Monday show is gonna be incredible. Yeah, Monday show is gonna be angry no matter what. It's gonna be, no matter what. You're gonna be crying, screaming, but you'll be the happiest you've ever been in your life. No matter what, Monday's show's gonna be incredible.
Yeah, we'll just see. Monday's show's gonna be incredible.
Okay, let's kick it to ourselves.
We got lottery ball.
There was actually a AWO tweeted me today,
said that he's been guessing the number
since the beginning of the lottery ball machine.
He's never gotten it.
That's crazy. Do we have anybody like that?
Well, memes, listen, credit to memes,
he didn't guess it for the first what year.
So this guy is somehow worse.
This is Chris, CMMarsha51, shout out.
He said he had to come clean because it was bothering him.
For the entire history of the lottery ball machine,
he has never gotten it right.
That's pretty crazy.
Let me know if you ever get it right because I am now
invested in this so. Alright let's kick it to ourselves.
Okay numbers, memes. If you get the number during Super Bowl week I mean this is
Max's week but if you get it. No this is memes week. No we've upgraded from Eagles week to Max
week. Oh okay Max week I like that. It's max versus chiefs
numbers
85 I'm gonna guess to 11
I'm thinking of players on the come on memes you're not gonna get it
77 you're never gonna get it
Love you guys I'm gonna be a good boy. I'm gonna be a good boy. I'm gonna be a good boy. I'm gonna be a good boy.
