Fuck yes. So back. It felt so good. Andy Reed wearing his foggy ass mask that I could have
watched him. He's it actually looked like those like when you when you see a dog on the sidewalk
that has this special collar around their mouth so they don't bite you. Just Andy. Just the muzzle.
No, not the least one where it's like around their nose. He has that so that he can't go around
just eat everything in sight. That's where it is actually a buffet sneeze guard. He went to
Golden Corral and he was like, you know what, put one of those on my face, seeing him just get kind
of drenched in water, having that thing fog up. He needs a windshield wiper on the front of it.
So good. Verbal meme. Andy Reed wearing the mask when she's got that wet ass pussy.
Nice. Wapping it. No chance Andy Reed even knows what the WAP is, but great to have football back.
It felt real. The Chiefs News Flash are really, really, really fucking good.
It's I mean, that's kind of all you have to say about that game. Like I don't I don't think the
Texans are as bad as they looked at times. I think the Chiefs are just really, really fucking good.
Super Bowl champs for a reason, folks. There's nothing that you could do to stop the Chiefs
when their offense is humming like that. There's just there's absolutely nothing you can do.
And now they have Clyde. And let me just start by saying Clyde's a cool ass name.
Clyde is a really cool ass name. There need to be more people named Clyde in this world.
I agree. I think we'd all be much better. You can't get mad. You can't be like,
fuck you, Clyde. It doesn't work like that. It's a cool ass smooth name. And yeah, he looks awesome.
Clyde Edwards, a lair. A lair. Not hilarious. Yeah, Jake Marsh actually had that wrong today.
So mark that in the book. Something that Jake Marsh got wrong. I got right. I watched LSU.
Yeah, I looked at the pronunciation guide afterwards and I admitted I was wrong before.
However, if I was on the game, I would have done our however, Jake would have done enough research
and looked at the pronunciation guide and practice it saying it out loud a few times.
Okay. Michael is admitted. You're in good company. Yes. The Fresh Prince of Lair.
Yes. So there they look awesome. Chiefs look fucking awesome. I don't really know what else to say
besides the chiefs look fucking awesome. I mean, I think more than anything tonight was just a
celebration of me celebrating that football was back and also seeing all the weird stuff,
getting introduced to all the weird stuff that we're going to be in. We're going to see over
the course of the season. Like the coaches wearing the masks on the sideline. Yup. Bill O'Brien wearing
the sub zero mask that covered up his little butthole on his chin. He looked evil out there.
Bill O'Brien looked intimidating. Yeah, until you realize that he was going to punt from the
50 yard line like four times and he's like, oh yeah, that's still Bill O'Brien under that mask.
That's O'Brien football. He doesn't want to get willful or hurt. No. That's how injuries and soft
tissue things happen is when you try to take too many shots downfield when you're losing by 20.
It also it really did feel, I know they piped in the noise. There were fans there. I think there
were 20,000, 25,000 fans there. But you know, the only part we're really going to miss is just
like the crowd shots. Obviously NFL fans are the funniest fans in the world and missing that crowd
shot. That will take a little bit away. But if they pipe in the noise for the broadcast, yeah,
I'm in like it doesn't just just don't even show the crowd. Don't let us know that it's there's
no one there and you can kind of just pretend it's it's all fine. Well, Goodell was in the crowd
today. Yes, he was a massive. He was on his phone. He was on his phone. Bad fan. He should be at every
game actually. They should just have Roger Goodell at least during every time slot. Goodell should
be up in the stands by himself on his phone looking at a Tinder finding like the green
Eminem or whatever he's looking at. I don't know what Roger Goodell searches for online, but probably
just easy chairs. Yeah, man caves, yes, sweaters, Eminem holders. All right, so we're going to we're
going to do a full NFL. Is he doing that by the way? Or what the man cave? No, I don't think
you promised. I think you just send it crazy. He's over. So he's he how many children did he kill
200,000? At least 200,000 children. Wow. Damn, Coney, you and I should get on that fast. Coney,
2020. All right, so we're going to get to our football preview. We're going to have some picks
before we do that. Let's talk a little NBA because we have a game seven tonight. Hank,
how are you feeling? I'm feeling nervous. I'm not going to lie because the refs because you're
playing against the refs too. I don't think game seven will be against the rest. Game six was
clearly like the NBA and you know, we've been doing stool streams. I've kind of been doing some
behind the scenes, like putting together broadcasts. I understand where the NBA is coming from,
where whoa, whoa, whoa, I may not have bombs. Are you admitting that that you're fucking with
the games for ratings, Hank? No, but I understand where they're like, it sounds to me like that's
where a billion dollar corporation and we were, you know, went just went through a pandemic and
we needed the best ratings we could possibly get. And if we could tell the rest, we're all those
things. No, but we're not like stool streams, not. But if we could tell the rest, you know,
just call everything against the Celtics so we can get a game seven for ratings.
I understand it. I understand it. It was clearly the post game report, whatever the
fuck it's called came out today. Everything that happened on the stretch that was supposed to get
called against the Celtics didn't. They admitted it, which is the craziest that happens every single
day. I know it's not just the Celtics, but every day that report comes out and they're like,
every call in the last 20 seconds was wrong. Does it make more sense though? It is very sure
that the Celtics get to the next round because that's where you would make more money off the
viewership as opposed to like one game seven in the second round. Yeah, but the Celtics have
clearly been the better team in the series. They should have won game three. They should have won
game six. The fact that it is a game seven, anything can happen. It just feels wonky and it
doesn't sit well with me. I'm nervous. I do think that the Celtics are the better team and it should
have been a four game, five game max series. So I think you're Gucci. I just, I love the Kalari
is now the new guy that people just run out of things to say about like how much of a competitor
he is. That guy's a dog. He just wants it more. He's got honor for Nick Nurse to coach him. Right.
It's just, it's only for the guys that are good, but not like superstar good. So they're not like
Nick Nurse doesn't coach him. He admires him. Right. They're so, they're not so incredible
that they can just completely dominate all the time. It's that extra bit where they're very good
and then they just want it more than everyone else on the court. And there is no star player on
their team. Yes. Yes. And then you'll just get a lot of, man, Kalari is so underrated,
which maybe he is. All right. So that, and then we have, we're on a collision course for Lakers,
Clippers. Stop me if you've heard this before. James Harden sucked in a playoff game, which
I guess if you're James Harden and you're going to suck in a playoff game, do it when the Houston
Texans are playing and football is back and no one really is paying attention to the NBA game.
So a good job, James Harden, making sure that you picked it perfectly to go up against football.
That's actually, that's probably the only, the only time we'll ever be able to use this spin
zone. James Harden, no one cares that you sucked in a playoff game because there was football on.
Yeah. That will never again happen. The series, the series is over. It's going to be gentlemen's
suite for the Lakers. They're, they're DUN done reminder to James Harden. Listen to this stat line.
He scored 21 points. How many, uh, how many field goals do you think he had?
Made five, two. He scored 21 points. He went 16 for 20 from the free throw line.
Got to get to the line. 16 for 20 from the free throw line. 21 points. I think two for 11,
one for six from three. I mean, I think that's really the main reason why Harden gets to the
line is not because he can get so many more points off it, but he gets a nice little break.
Yeah. He can stand still. He can score standing still. He gets to just catch his breath for a
while. He, uh, he also just ran out of gas, which happens every single time that he plays in the
playoffs. Well, that's the other concern with the Celtics. And I think the Rockets are going through
it now, but the fact that, uh, you know, the NBA is playing every other day. So Rockets had a game,
they went to a game seven last series, and then they were just playing game one, two days later
and have had to play every other day. Uh, so if the Celtics advanced, like that's going to be
a concern, like going into game three, game four, if the Celtics lose on a Friday night,
does that ruin your whole weekend? Yeah. Yeah. I hope that doesn't happen, but the Patriots are
on Sunday. That's the, that's the beauty of this thing whole being in fall, like even, yeah,
the Patriots on Sunday, if Cam Newton goes out, lights it up, I think it's going to be like,
you know, the first Brady Moss year, uh, expect nothing less. So if that, who's Moss, the whole
team, Edelman, Edelman and Nikhil Harried combined. Actually, I, I, I'd actually agree with you the
entire team combined might have, what do you have? Like 23 touchdowns that year. Yeah. Okay. And Cam
Newton is Tom Brady. Yeah. So he's got 50. So he can't throw the deep ball. We'll combine with
rushing. He's going to, he's going to rush a lot too. Got it. Okay. Okay. Um, all right. So that
can wash away, you know, although we can. Well, good segue, Hank. Let's, let's, uh, let's get to
our weekend preview. We have some picks coming up before we do that. Sundays this fall on CBS
All Access. The NFL on CBS returns. Stream your local game live on CBS All Access. Be there
from week one all the way to Super Bowl 55. That's actually great news. We got, uh, I don't know, Jim,
on the Super Bowl and it's going to be great to hear Jim Nance back. NFL on CBS is back.
Watch it live on CBS All Access. Visit CBS.com slash NFL to start your free trial now. I mean,
what, what more do I have to say? You're going to get to watch football right there.
Everyone who's cut cords. Boom. Done. CBS All Access. Watch it on your computer. Boom.
CBS.com slash NFL. Go watch, uh, Sundays this fall on CBS All Access. Thank you, CBS. I will
be watching on CBS.com slash NFL. Uh, you can also go to at CBS all access on Twitter. Okay.
Let's, let's do a rapid fire weekend. Gut check takes. Gut check takes. Uh, we'll do our picks at
the end. So feel free to just kind of throw like, Hey, this isn't your official pick. Not that we
even keep records or anything like that, but we'll start. I'm just going to go straight down the line.
Seahawks Falcons, 10 out of 11 starters on the Falcons, our first round draft picks. How can
you not love that? How can you not love just the Falcons? I also love that that it's a really
far trip for the Seahawks. Yeah. For whatever reason, I always feel like Atlanta is the farthest
away from Seattle, even though I don't think it's true. It just feels like a long trip.
And these are two teams that always play in fucking crazy games. Yep. I have no prediction
for this game. Uh, but I do predict that whatever happens is going to be extremely weird. The Seahawks
are going to be an interesting case this year because we might have the first time, uh, ever in
the NFL that social media bullies Pete Carroll into actually letting his MVP caliber quarterback
throw the ball more. No, there's no chance. There's no chance. Is what's going on right now on
Twitter. Let Russ cook. There's no chance it has to let him cook. No, Pete Carroll is, he has a
doctorate in establishing the run. He is still establishing the run from two seasons ago. He's
not going to stop. They're going to Chris Carson is going to get 27 carries. All right. So Jets
bills are the next one. Um, I had a really, really dark thought earlier today and I want to give a
trigger warning to all bills fans. What if the bills go like 13 and three and win the AFC East
and maybe even get a first round by get the one seed? They might not get the one seed. We'll call
that the chiefs, but get a home playoff game and we can't have any fans. I think they'll manage.
That's so fucking sad though. Just think about that. Think about like I close my eyes and think
about those early games in Buffalo when the fans like all the Buffalonians don't know how to deal
with being in the sun and they all like look like cooked lobsters by the third quarter, but they're
so fucking drunk and so happy to have the bills back and we just get robbed of that. Fuck you
coronavirus. I think no matter what happens, Bill's fans, if it gets to that level, you've been asking
for a vaccine for a very long time. I think you led the charge and saying that that was a good thing.
You will get the entire city of Buffalo signing up for whatever the first trial it is and be like
just shoot me up with it. If it means that they don't even have to go into the stadium, just let
me tailgate out in the lot and get hammered and we'll watch on a giant screen like they do in Toronto
in Jurassic Park. They will have a Buffalo Park that they will all sit and watch the games together.
I think the Jets are going to be a hot mess again. Jets are trash until Flacco gets in,
then we'll reevaluate at that point, but for right now I like the bills by double digits.
Can I ask a question too? The other thought I had about this game, Sam Darnold, like for some
reason everyone's like, oh Sam Darnold, he's going to be great, but then they make fun of Josh Allen.
What gives? Sam Darnold doesn't have mono anymore. What gives? What gives? Because he went to USC.
All right, whatever. Bears Lions. Mr. Biscay owns the Lions. That's enough said. I think this is
the start of the Mitch Revenge Tour. The only thing that scares me, I don't even know if he's
playing, but Adrian Peterson will always scare me because he used to run all over the Bears.
Right. I also think that Matt Patricia, we're going to find out if the team
hates the shit out of them or not. They definitely don't love them yet.
Oh, on that watch again, I like this. Yeah, we are. We've been on that watch for two years.
So they either are ambivalent towards them and they could go on a run and win like four games
in a row and then they'll be like, yeah, we love this guy. Or they could start off real slow in
which case he is going to be looking for the locker room. The Lions also fall under my category
of team that people, some of the prognosticators are picking just because they don't want to be
like everyone else. So they look through the whole list and they're like, what's the one pick I can
do that's not like everyone else? And then they're all picking the Lions, which now has become like
everyone else. Well, whoever wins this game is going to be setting themselves up big time. So
like as a Bears fan, you beat the Lions and you're going to think we are good. If the Lions,
they beat the Bears, they're going to think we are good. You're going to look at the best parts
of the other team. And you're going to be like, you know what? The Bears were able to contain
Matt Stafford. He only threw for 320 yards, two picks and two touchdowns. And you're going to be
like, we can do that against anybody. If the Lions beat the Bears, they're going to be like, yeah,
we were able to handle the toughest defense in the league. And then you'll both fool yourselves
into thinking that you're going to go like 11 and five, 12 and four. I mean, I've fooled myself
in that already, but I know it's not true. All right, Packers Vikings. This is actually one of
my picks on the total, but I go back and forth. I part of me thinks that this is a prime Aaron
Rogers fuck you tour, but I'm also thinking that if the Packers start slow and the Cowboys start
fast, Aaron Rogers is going to be like, whoops, Mike McCarthy, not so bad. And things can fall apart
quickly. And that's what I'm rooting for. That's probably true. He's going to look back on his
exes right now. But he did say that him and Matt LaFleur right now are hashtag friend goals.
The hashtag that we commonly use in today's parlance is hashtag friend goals. And so apparently
they're getting along really well. But that's definitely not something that you say about
somebody that you are actually hashtag friend goals with. Correct. Because the person that
you're hashtag friend goals with would kick your ass for saying hashtag friend goals would never
allow it. Hank Dolphins Patriots. How are we feeling? Ryan Fitzpatrick. You're going from
week 17 last year. Ryan Fitzpatrick kind of ending the Patriots season. Yeah. Because it takes away
there by to Ryan Fitzpatrick coming back week one. How are you feeling? I feel great. I mean,
we talked about it before. It's basically a Bill Belichick revenge tour of sorts.
A lot of revenge tours going on this. There's gotta be a lot. It's like a Bill and Cam. I'm
sure they're friend goals. They just, you know, they don't talk about it. But everything that's
been reported from the New England camp has been great. Cam Newton seems healthy. You're like a
fucking ESPN Boston. Well, what's interesting. Yeah, like Michael Smith. Michael Smith has
really given some good good reports from Patriots circles are saying that Belichick is happy with
Cam. Yeah. So actually it brings up a good point because if you've noticed what Hank is doing stretches
and stuff, he's having fun. What Belichick's been saying about Cam Newton is very unliked.
He made him a captain. Anything that he's said about Tom Brady in the last like four years.
That's true. He's been very, very slow to give Brady any praise about anything. It almost feels
like he's praising Cam Newton like a little bit too much. Well, he made him a captain. I guess I
like, of course, I think Belichick, I don't think Belichick lies. I think he tells you how he feels
like he's not that type of guy. But I also laugh whenever we come out of camp and everything's
hunky dory with every single team. And like, what else would they say? Like, I'm sure Belichick gets
asked about Cam Newton every single day. I'm sure Cam Newton gets asked about Belichick every single
day where they can be like, yeah, actually kind of fucking hate the guy. So let's just see how it
goes. I'm gonna say he's I just love camp stories. I just love camp. I mean, it's the Mitch Mitch being
like I found my comment. He's talking about what else is gonna say a little bit too much. He's like
Cam Newton is just an amazing competitor. I love everything that he does. He's tall. I love his
hats. I love the way that he texts me when I can't understand him. He thinks I'm hilarious. How's
Guerrero's not around? He does this great impression of me that everybody seems to laugh at that. I
don't understand like he is he is absolutely gassing up Cam Newton like almost like you're
introducing a new girlfriend to your friends a little bit and you just like you talk her up
so much because you're afraid of what they're gonna think about her. Do you think late at night
Julian Edelman is watching like Instagram stories of Gronk and Brady and being like damn,
or do you think he's no, I think he he opens up Instagram stories, but it's his own and it's
facing him and he's just watching himself flexing, putting different yeah, putting filters on his
own belly button. Jake Hank potential for Celtics Windmara Dolphins Patriots and Heat Celtics coming
this week. Oh, wow. Oh, the cake first Hank NPFT. Yeah, that's right, but I actually I'm rooting
for JBOT as well. Let's go. Yeah. All right, so what do you guys the world you guys got to have a
bet if if the Patriots beat the Dolphins on Sunday, Jake has to eat an entire cake if the
Dolphins beat the Patriots Hank has to get a cat. No, you thought about it for a second though,
like that was longer. Well, I don't because I like I'm not going to go to my psyche. I just
there's no chance the Patriots are going to lose. Let's just say that Jake has to eat a
cake because then we can help him eat the cake. And I love cake. Yeah, true. It is cake season,
baby. Okay. Pie season starts October. The Patriots win. Jake has to eat a cake. And if the Dolphins
win, Hank has to eat a whole cake. What about if Heat Celtics are involved? We'll deal with that
thanks. Gotta get there. Yeah. All right. Eagles versus the Washington football team. And me and
Big Cat get to choose what type of cake it is. Yes. And eat three quarters of it before we bring
it in. I feel like the Eagles in the Washington football team have played in week one, like 17
years in a row. They do. They do this a lot. The football team with no name. This is my I'm
I'm going to do a bird alert on the Eagles because I think that the red excuse me the Washington
football team, I think that they could win this game. This could be a weird game where it's a new
head coach in a new place. The team's going to be playing for Ron Rivera this week. No one knows
what to expect out of him. Del Rio is a very good defensive coordinator. I like the Washington
artists formerly known as the Redskins. Okay, I don't. It's my bird alert. Is Dwayne Haskins
still the quarterback? Dwayne Haskins first round pick 15th overall. Yeah. Eesh. Now as good as
second round, second pick overall. I don't, I just, I got to see it from Dwayne Haskins. I'm not
saying it's over. It's still early. I got to see it. Raiders, the Panthers.
This is, you know what this game is. Who cares? It's a classic. It'll be interesting to see what
the Panthers look like. No, this is the game. This is the prime. Well, actually let's do this
together. Colts, Jaguars, Raiders, Panthers. Those are both prime. We forgot those games were on
when we were watching Red Zone. Yeah. And they just show it. Well, the Raiders, that's every Raiders
game. Yeah. They just show it like once every hour and they're like checking in in Carolina.
What? Oh, yeah. Fuck. It's actually going to be really weird to see the Raiders on the early
Red Zone. They are definitely a mid to late afternoon Red Zone team that they check in on. It's
like 17 to three in the fourth quarter. And they're like, Oh, here's the field goal. That's our
highlight. Back to the real games you care about. I also, part of me just wants to take the Panthers
just because I'm like, Oh, Joe Brady, what he did at LSU, he's going to do it again with the Panthers.
I'm just upset that happened. Rules not going to be wearing the smock. Yeah. I think he,
he loses a couple of games early. He's going to bring the smock back. Spitting on himself.
Browns at Ravens. We're going to talk, we're going to do PR 101 for Odell Beckham after Tony
Hawk. I, you know what? I'm not going to do it. I'm going to wait. Do you like the Browns? No,
I'm just, I know, I know what this is. You want to drop the fraud. No, I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it right off the bat. Nope. I'm not going to do it. All I'll say is
I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. They're, they're a very good team. Yep.
Lamar Jackson is a very good quarterback. Yep. Good for you. Ravens. Although this is another,
it will be interesting to see because Stefansky is his first game as a head coach. He said,
you know, he said today he's keeping the team hungry. He's going to have 16 captains this year.
Love it. He said, you don't need to see on your chest to be a great leader. Stefansky is
confirmed supporter of the itty-bitty titty committee. Stefansky is, if he can read,
if he can just read, like I'm talking a book, not even a defense, not nothing. If he can read,
he's an upgrade from Freddie Kitchens. Let me ask you this question. If he can not poop his pants on
the sidelines and look like an idiot all the time, no offense, Freddie Kitchens, you're bad,
you're really bad. That is an instant upgrade. Yeah. Is his name Hugh Jackson?
No. Okay. Is his name Freddie Kitchens? No. Is his name Roger Zingsinski? No. Boom. Upgrade. Up,
grade. Get excited. Bengals, chargers, Bengals going to blow up.
Buck Saints. I'm just going to say Joe Burroughs going to blow them out every single week.
Buck Saints. This will be a very fun game. This is our afternoon delicious game where everyone can,
the game of the week, Joe Buck. James Winston revenge game. James Winston. Oh my God. He knows
all the secrets of Bruce Arians. Yeah. He knows all the places that Bruce doesn't want them to
pass the ball. Here's my hot take about the Bucks in this game. I feel like whatever's going to
happen week one, we're going to overreact to with the Bucks and it's going to be the exact
opposite. So if they suck week one, they're going to go 13 and three. And if Tom Brady's
incredible week one, he's going to fall off a cliff. I think that I think it's going to,
I think we're going to, no matter which way it goes, we're going to overreact. Well,
what has to happen is we need the Buccaneers to win and the Patriots to lose or the Patriots to
win the Buccaneers to lose so that we can really hammer into that next week and be like storyline.
Storylines. Tom made the wrong decision. Tom made the right decision. That's this weekend is a
referendum on the on the life altering change of course that Tom Brady made. Yeah. Storylines.
Can never be taken back. Cardinals 49ers, Super Bowl hangover, except George Kittle.
Yep. George Kittle and also I just, I just don't think that the Cardinals,
do they even have a defense? Everyone loves them. Well, Isaiah Simmons is a fucking stud
who they drafted with the eighth. I will just, I will never think that the Cardinals have a defense,
no matter what, especially when Cliff Kingsbury is coaching the team. I will, I will look at that
team and I will say that man is a big 12 coach. He doesn't have any landscaping whatsoever in
his backyard. That is not a defensive oriented football team. Tonight was the first step in
me realizing Deandre Hopkins isn't on the Texans anymore. I still am going to need him to score
like three or four touchdowns in a Cardinals uniform for me to fully be like, Oh yeah,
Deandre Hopkins is on the Cardinals. Last one. Cowboys Rams over. Yep. That's all I had to
actually I'll start there. Let's start with our picks over. That will be my over. That's my over.
That's your over. That's my fast turf. Enough said. Yeah. Enough said. Hank, what's your over pick?
Patriots. Patriots. Okay.
Underdog.
Hank, you're not prepared for this. My underdog. We did this.
You did forget. Okay. Bengals plus three and a half. My underdog is the Washington football
team. The team with no name plus five and a half. Okay. Hank, we'll come back to you.
My under is the Packers Vikings under 45. Lock it up. Okay. I've got the Cardinals 49ers at 48.
Okay. That's your under. That's my under. That's your under. Although I just said a second ago
that the Cardinals don't have a defense, but that's fine. I don't give a shit. You know what? If it
was 49, that would be that would be a sign and I would say yes. Yeah. Take the over. But since
it's not, I'm taking the under. There's my underdog. There's your nice Hank. Good pick.
Panda pick. Good pick. And then my favorite is going to be the Bills minus six and a half.
That's what I had as well. What that ass. Yep. The Jets are the Jets. The same on two of them.
The Jets are the Jets and they will continue to be the Jets until proven otherwise. Correct.
Hank, you want to clean up whatever you got left? Stillers for my favorite. Okay. That's Monday.
That's Monday. It's okay. We don't include money. Yeah, you can do whatever you want. Do whatever
you want. And then Seahawks Falcons for my over. Okay. Perfect. You're not a believer in Joe Judge.
I think, I think the Giants might come out hot. I mean, they're the only team that's been tackling.
They're just going to be so excited to not be each other. All right. And I have my Can't
Lose Parley the first one of the year. It cannot lose. Eagles, Colts, Bills,
1-1 to win 1.5. That will not lose. Eagles, Colts, Bills. That will not lose. There's no chance
that loses. They can't lose Parley's back and it cannot lose. It will not lose.
Agreed? Billy? I agree. Thank you, Billy. I just need one person to tell me it cannot lose.
I just said it can't lose. Colts? Who else? Eagles? Eagles, Bills. Moneyline?
Cannot lose. Moneyline cannot lose. I'm telling you right now, there is no way it loses because
it is the, it says it right in the name, PFT. Do I need to refresh you on what the can't lose?
It says can't lose Parley. I think you're forgetting. Can't lose Parley cannot lose.
I think you're forgetting that I said just a moment ago that Eagles aren't bird alert.
The Eagles are going to beat the Washington football team. The Colts are going to beat
the Jaguars and the Bills are going to beat the Jets and the can't lose Parley will march on
1-0. Okay, let's get to, oh, so you want to introduce this before we get to Tony Hawk?
We're going to do something a little different. Yeah, so we're going to, we're going to fuck around
with Fancy Fuckboys a little bit this year. They will be making their return, but we're going to
switch it up on a weekly basis between some new friends that we've got. So this, what is it,
what are we calling this one? I don't know. The Fancy Lacks Bros. Fancy Lacks Bros. Hank,
do you want to start? Sure. Nice. My name is Ronald Swift. My stardom is shitty college basketball
teams. Participation trophy culture is struck again and they want to put 365 teams in the,
uh, what? March Madness bracket. So if your team sucks, it doesn't matter because you'll still
get a chance at the championship. That's pretty chill though. If you don't have, uh, the championship
pedigree or whatever, like, I know Duke is pretty sweet. Uh, UVA, they win a lot, but like Johns
Hopkins, like they never get a chance. For sure. My stardom is Joe Rogan. I know like all my friends
is probably like, what the fuck, dude? I like this. But his new podcast studio sucks. So, oh,
dude. Oh no. Horses vibes. Is Jamie still there? And he's getting censored by Spotify. Like,
he just switched over there and they can't even get his old podcast. They took Alex Jones off.
And it's like, that is just a trip, man. Just can't even know free speech anymore. It's fucked up.
Dude, it's crazy. Jamie, pull up the first amendment. And, uh, my synonym is Jarvis Landry.
Everyone, everyone's talking about the poop when they talk about the Browns. But after this week,
I think they're going to be talking about the juice. Oh, the juice in the poop. Okay,
Juicinator. Eat clean. Uh, Billy, you want to go, bro? Yeah. My name's
Buckley Digby. My stardom is oil changes. Yeah. Take clean piss. Catherine oil change. My
also important, also important for upkeep on your Wrangler. Yeah, do it yourself.
Dude, my sit him is gender reveals. There's only you can stop forest fires. Yeah, fuck fire. Yeah,
you shouldn't get a gender reveal until you're like old enough to show you got balls. You know,
Yo, Digby, give us a fucking sick animal fact.
All right. Do your sleeper. Do you sleeper? My sleeper is
Oh, you're braiding. Bro, you beefed it. Hayden. You beef this dude. Dude,
fuck his name again. Hayden. Hearst. He's a tight end. Yeah,
and he's actually going to pick you up some points. Do you say on the Hawks?
Because he's on the Hawks. Yeah, the Hawks. The Hawks. The Hawks. The Hawks. The Hawks.
He's got DK Metcalfi. Wait, is he on the Atlanta Hawks? As the crow flies, there's no
Atlanta Falcons. Seattle Falcons. He's on the Falcons. It's all right. Hayden. Hearst.
Thanks. Thanks, Buckley. What's up guys? It's Weston Preston, the fourth junior. I'm starting
my dad's boat. You got to start your dad's boat this weekend. It's pretty chill. BUI is about to
expire. The boat's good to go. Get on the water to Lake and Wake. It's also September, so no more
sunscreen. Sun's done. You don't have to lather up once summer's officially over. SPF season,
see you get to raise bacon and the chicks naked. Nice. My sit-in. I'm sit-in Odell Beckham.
Sit in, dude. Don't get political. I'm letting him sit on me. He's sitting. Odell Beckham's sitting.
His baker's going to be cooking up his fudge, tossing it right at his chest, and it's going to
bounce right off his numbers. Odell Beckham, I'm sitting him. Grubby, stinky hands. Dude,
baker's so chill. Sony commercials. Baker's a good dude. I like him in all his commercials. Yeah,
dude, you got to get that merch money. Dude, he's got Sony commercials and he's touched down to the
interception ratio. No, no, no, no. That sounds like... Dixby, you're being a fucking loser. That
sounds like numbers. I know. I'm being a downer. No, you're being a poser. You know, only stat I care
about is how chill you are. He's an 11. His chill-to-pull ratio is actually a fucking thing.
Did you say his pool ratio? His chill-to-pull ratio. Oh, I was going to say like... He's like how
chill he is and how much chicks he pulls. Yeah, his chill-to-pull ratio, he's always just hanging
down by the way. What do you got for your sleeper? I'm sleeping GHB. That's my sleeper. If you want
to get bundled but stay Keto, it's GHB all the way. For the boys only. For the boys only. Keep it
chill. Keep it responsible. It can't fall into the wrong hands or else I'll lose my scholarship again.
We are just... Yeah, that's right. Just got to be smart. It's a zillion milliliters this weekend,
bro. It's a zillion. All right, my stardom is Josh Allen. That dude is fucking so sick. He throws it
so far. Top cheddar of the stadium. Dude, I once fucking played a little, uh, Froult with Josh.
Talk about banging chains. Yeah, let's bang the chains. Let's move the chains. Move the chains.
You okay with that? I played Beard Eye with Sam Darnold once. Did you actually? Yeah. You got mono,
bro. I did. Yeah. I even monoed shit drinks. Oh, man. All right, my stardom is your chick taking
your favorite hoodie after, uh, after you have a bang sash. That's back. Yeah. It's fall. But then
you get to be like, Hey, uh, I need my hoodie back. And then you go over to her apartment and
bang sash double down on her. She looks kind of tight though in that sick like when she wears your
letters. Simp. Uh, and then my cinnamon is Skip Bayless or Sleeper Skip Bayless. I'm starting to think
Skip Bayless kind of... Oh, I forgot to say my name, by the way. I'm Brody Wolf. Uh,
I'm starting to think that Skip Bayless kind of fucking sucks, dude. He's not chill anymore.
Dude, he's kind of an asshole. I like, I respect the fact that he has the microwave down at penis
level to cook up your piss. If you got to do an oil change, dude, I wish that's convenient. Zapped
his whole balls off. Should have zapped his whole face off. Yeah. All right. That's, I will see how
that goes. Yeah. Yeah. Skip Bayless does suck, by the way. We should at least mention that, um,
one of the worst takes ever. It's, it's rare that everyone, everyone online kind of hates Skip
Bayless. We actually like him in an ironic fashion, but this time it's like, no, dude,
this isn't even funny. Ironically, you're just a dick. I like him just the same way that you
like an animal, like a very dangerous animal at the zoo that you can like look at and observe,
but you don't want to get into the enclosure with him or else he'll get shot. He basically said,
Dak Prescott, whose brother, uh, died via suicide. I don't know how to say that correctly. He died.
He committed suicide, uh, I think in April or March. Dak opened up about struggling with depression,
and it was like everything that we have done as a society when it comes to mental health,
this is, these are the type of moments that you hope for where a guy can say,
hey, I've been dealing with some stuff, like I'm open about it. I'm showing you I'm vulnerable.
We talked about this with Kevin Love a couple of weeks ago. That's how people's lives get saved.
That's how you make a difference. And Skip Bayless basically just shit on it being like, yeah,
like he showed a moment of weakness. He's the leader of the Dallas Cowboys. This isn't a leader
quality, blah, blah, blah. Fuck you Skip Bayless. I think that, uh, in a weird way, one of the sickest
parts of what he said was that he was saying that the real issue here was that you can't be the
quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys and have something like this. And Skip Bayless is weird
brain. You could be the quarterback of the Los Angeles Chargers or the Jaguars, and it's okay
to do this, but this is the Dallas guy. He and Skip Bayless is mind the best job in the world
that should have the most perfect person in it in the world is the Dallas Cowboys quarterback.
And obviously they are people as well. Skip doesn't, I guess, realize that, but also in a weird way,
in a Rudy Gobert type way, Skip might have actually been a hero of mental illness. Correct.
Because he got everybody to talk about what a shithead he is for having this terrible take
and maybe, maybe more people paid attention to it. Yeah, that's true. Is Skip a hero? Who's to say?
Yeah, the big question is going to be whether or not he actually apologized. We saw Fox release
a statement. It seems like probably everyone at like Fox and FS one is like, what the fuck, dude?
Like, why? Why? But will Skip apologize? We were actually talking about it before the show.
He, I have a feeling he's going to be like, I didn't, that's not what I meant, but the
actually not unfortunate, the reality of it for Skip Bayless is he was very clear what he meant.
Yeah, it was actually, it was actually like a very well put together argument of the worst
point ever. Right. I know straightforward. This is what I mean. It sucks. You can't argue way
out. Maybe you could pull Tom Brennan and say like, I've never said those words before in my life.
And there's it was a slip of the tongue. I didn't mean to say that you should not show weakness
if your brother committed suicide and you're in one of the most high stressful positions in the
world. Like that maybe that's his excuse about it. I don't know what it's going to be. He could
always do the, and there's a long drive to the left field. Cassianos to nothing ball game.
Yeah. So yeah, he's a dick. Skip Bayless. You're canceled, bro. You know what? If your deck press
gets certainly doesn't help things that skip Bayless is your biggest fan in the world. You
know, like you always have to deal in the back of your mind with the fact that you did something
along the way that made Skip Bayless really like you. Yes, that's got to be soul crushing. Yes,
absolutely. So yeah, skip. Fuck you, dude. Okay, before we get to Tony Hawk, a quick word from

Okay, we now welcome on recurring guest friend of the program legend of the game. It is Tony
Hawk. He is back Tony Hawk pro skater one and two has come out. It has been remastered. We're very,
very excited. Let's start there Tony. What is the reception been because it's a tricky thing to do,
a nostalgic game that we all love this kids to remaster it and try to, you know, have a new
generation fall in love with it. What has been the reception so far? So far, so good. I've had a ton
of positive comments. It's gotten great reviews, but also it's more just the, the fans like the,
I see the tags out in social media and they're out of their mind excited. A lot of them playing
the demo. So they had a taste of what they were getting into. But now that it's the full release,
they are, they are very happy about it from what I can tell. Yeah, so the original Tony Hawk pro
skater games, they were like, among the highest rated video games, I think just of all time,
across any sort of platform whatsoever, they're like all ranked like 9.5, 9.6, 9.7 on any website.
So when you're sitting down trying to figure out how to remake that and how to like recapture that
success, what did you decide like, okay, here's, here are the things that need to be updated and
changed. And then this is where we're going to stay and, you know, stick with what we know that
the people like. It was more about keeping that, that gameplay, that motion, those controls intact.
And that, that was probably the biggest, the most pressure that we had, because we knew the hardcore
fans were, that was going to be their immediate measure of, of how good it is. But luckily, there
are, you know, some of the original designers are still floating around. One of the original best
players who ended up actually working for Neversoft later on, because he was so good at the game.
He consulted on this. And so we had the right team in place. And I feel like Vicarious Visions,
who was the developer, they were so passionate about it. They did not want to, you know, they were,
they were handed this very precious cargo. They didn't want to blow it. Yeah. That guy's job,
by the way, sounds sick. That's like every kid's dream growing up is like, I got so good at this
video game. It just hired me to play it all the time. Yes. Good for that. Also, the name Neversoft.
You can look him up. Okay. Hell yeah. The name Neversoft is just like, I don't know why. And we,
we talked about this last time, but like something about California companies, California people,
they just come up with the coolest names, the coolest brands. Like why didn't we ever think of
Neversoft? Neversoft. If you say you're hard, the opposite of Hank. Yeah. That's weird. But like
Neversoft, that's cool. Or no fear. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if it would be as well received
now in the current climate, but back then, you know, they were pretty renegade. Yeah. Always hard.
That's like, if you were to give an East coaster an opportunity to name a company, we'd probably be
like, hard ass. Hard all the time. Right. And everybody would be like, yo, that name sucks.
Right. Neversoft. Neversoft. It's show. Right. What did you guys decide to do about the soundtrack?
Did you keep the original soundtrack? Quite a bit of it. Yeah. And I think some of the more
iconic tracks in the first two games are the ones people are going to expect. And we kept them in
there. And then we updated it as well. I had some influence on that. And they went out looking for
more newer bands that represent the sound and the vibe of skating. And I think it's a really well
routed soundtrack for sure. We're going to have Superman again. Of course. Nice. Love it. So I
saw that you were doing some stuff with our friend Nick Merks on Twitch and you've been kind of all
over the place. And it dawned on me. Are Twitch streamers like the 2020 version of skateboarders
when you were coming up? Like the profession that people, a lot of parents are probably like,
you can never make money doing this. The rest of society kind of looks down on it. And now you see
like 2020 Twitch streamers are having their heyday. I'm sure you had that moment where it was
satisfying being like, yep, told you I could make like a great living off of this. Do you see any
correlation with that? Like kind of the fringe of society that is now becoming mainstream?
Sure. I see a lot of parallels, especially people following their passion and doing something
they're good at and finally getting an audience for it. I mean, Twitch is obviously the perfect
venue for that. With skating, I never imagined I'd be making money at it. I never imagined I'd be
doing it into my adult life. So all of this has just been gravy and just an amazing surprise.
But I applaud those guys like if they can stay entertaining and producing content by playing
video games and all the power to them. Have you ever been on a live stream with Nick Merks before?
He did just now. I have not. Oh, I think tomorrow. Oh, tomorrow. Yeah. I've done one Twitch live
stream and it was playing my game with Finn Wolfhard from Stranger Things. Oh, nice. Okay.
So I mean, you're going to be pulling in some numbers tomorrow. I imagine when you go live
with Nick Merks. I don't know how familiar you are. In fact, you know what? I made it end this
interview early so I can go practice some more. Yeah. Well, we can get you trained because like
the chat that's going to be coming at you is going to be pretty hard. I don't know if you've
read the comments on Twitch streams, but like we can. Yeah, but I'm going to be more focused on
the game. So I'm going to have to tune everything out and just focus. Also, Nick Merks fans are a
little bit nicer than the people who watch our streams and just basically fuck with us the whole
time. So you'll be fine. You'll be a natural. You got this. I'm not worried about Tony. I'm going
to be blissfully ignorant of all the chat. Yes. Yes. How many so you just mentioned that you never
thought you'd be skateboarding well into your adult life. I saw the video for your birthday.
You did the, what was it? Was it McTwisty? Was that what it was? What did you do at McTwisty?
Oh, yeah. The milk challenge. We got milk challenge. I did a McTwist while holding
a glass of milk. Yes. So how many takes was that? That was it. That was one and done.
No, we'll cut this part, but how many takes was it?
That was it. I promise you. I honestly, okay, here's the thing. I had tried to do some basic
tricks and I kept spilling a little bit while I was on my way down from the trick and I said,
well, we got something. Why don't I try a McTwist and it'll just explode everywhere and that'll
be, that'll be like the great failure. That is honestly was my, my whole goal was that there's
no way that this will work. Right. So why not just make it crazy and I'll like break the chain of the
got milk challenge. And when I tried it, it stayed in the glass. That was it. Like it was, it was a
total happy accident. You accidentally succeeded at the trick. Right. Yeah. It was, and I stood
less on that than I did on the basic tricks. How, how much of a narc did I just sound like when I
called it a McTwisty? Like I feel so uncool knowing that it's a McTwist. Well, everyone, I mean,
there was a lot of cliches going around. I said it was the milk twist. So you're forgiven. It's
okay. Okay. Thank you. I used to wear like birdhouse clothes and airwalk shoes and maybe like
some DC shoes back when I was in middle school, but I didn't skateboard. Was I poser?
No, it just means you, you appreciated skate fashion. Hell yeah. Are you kidding me? Well,
you think, you think all these kids wearing thrasher shirts and supreme skate? Well, yeah,
but then when somebody calls you a poser, I consider them consumers. Okay. I was a good
consumer of yours back in the day, but I'm a consumer. Yes. I like, you know what? On behalf
of birdhouse, I appreciate your consumption. Yeah. People are like, yo, why are you wearing
birdhouse shirt? You don't even skate. I'd be like, well, I want to put some money in my good
friend Tony Hawk's pocket. Yeah. Thank you very much. No problem. I wanted to dive in as something
like this is almost a mental thing that I think that you are kind of unique with. When you did the
900 right after you did that, you know, other people are able to do it. They go out there and
they kind of see that it's possible to be done and they can emulate it. And I think that it's kind
of crazy that like you were the first person to do it and then kind of the damn broke because
people were able to realize that it was possible after you did it. What was it for you that like
made you think that something was possible that nobody had ever done before that like gave you
the confidence to be like, yeah, like, like Roger Bannister is like, I don't care that no one's
ran a four minute mile before I'll do it. And then, you know, everybody else does after the fact.
What was it about you that made you different that made you believe that you could do it?
Well, I always love exploring what's next and trying to take tricks to the next level or trying
to combine certain tricks. So that has always been my big goal in skating was to keep breaking
boundaries. And so when I had learned 720s, I thought, well, the next stage obviously is 900.
How do I get that extra turn? And I just kept working at it little by little. I think it was
just more in my mind. I had all the pieces. I knew how to spin. I knew how to, I knew how to
adjust my body. I just need to figure out how to land it. And so I never thought, oh,
this is just not possible at all. It was just more like, I got to keep chipping away at it.
And it took its toll for sure. I mean, I broke a rib at one point trying it.
So you had a video that went viral. It was like probably a week ago, two weeks ago,
where you were helping Sky Brown, a 12 year old girl do the mega ramp. What's this?
What was the backstory behind that? Because she is way cooler than I'll ever be. And it was awesome
to see that and everyone trying to encourage her. But what was the backstory? Well, she had been
considering jumping on that ramp. She had actually been going, it's my friend,
Elliot's ramp. She had been going to this house and skating the landing part of that ramp and
skating the big quarter pipes and getting comfortable with that kind of speed and that kind of size.
And I saw her a few days before that. And she said, I really want to jump the thing,
will you come help me through it? And I hadn't actually done it in a few years myself. So I
thought, yeah, let's learn it together. And so we kind of both were, were aiding each other on.
I finally did it a couple of times. And I told her, it's not as scary to think it is. And she
had already gone down a ramp that was bigger than that one, but not jumped a gap. And I just said,
if you make it down this ramp, your momentum is going to take you over the gap. So there's no
worry about that. And then you saw what happened. She did it. It was an awesome video. In fact,
I just saw, this is, this is all kind of on the DL, but I just saw a video of her there yesterday.
She did a 360 over that thing. What? I mean, it's such a cool like heartwarming video. It's got to
be, I would imagine fulfilling to have like a 12 year old skater still look up to you and be like,
Tony Hawk, you're a legend. That doesn't happen a lot in sports. When you talk about like
an NFL player retires, when he's 60, people don't still think about them as like,
that way and that reverence where you have skaters who are still asking for your advice.
That's got to be pretty fulfilling, I'd imagine. Yeah. I mean, that's, I think that that's the
best I can do these days too is just sort of pass on my experience and my knowledge through a newer
generation. And I mean, make no mistakes. Guy is fully capable of doing that all on her own.
I just give her a little more confidence and incentive to do it because I can see
what she is capable of. And sometimes she just needs that little, that little push.
If Tony Hawk was born in, or in 2010, let's say that you're 10 years old right now,
do you think that you would get as into skateboarding as you did when you were coming up? Because I
know that, you know, the dynamics changed a little bit where now you have, I guess, more like, you
know, there's, there've been more people in front of you, but it's less counterculture now than I
think that it was back in the day, which I think the counterculture kind of was attractive for a lot
of people that started skateboarding in the 80s and the 90s. So like if you were born right now,
do you think that you would be more inclined to be a skateboarder or do you think you'd be
kind of less inclined? I think I would be inclined to be a skater. Yeah. I think there's
something that drew me to it that was not about just being rebellious or being an outcast. It was
more about the possibilities and the idea that you can do it at your own pace and on your own
terms and not have to listen to a coach. I mean, that's really it for me. So it was hard for me
back then, you know, it was hard for me because I was, I was ousted by my peers, my classmates,
because I chose to skate. And then when I got into skating, I was considered an outcast because I
was so little and my style was so sort of robotic. And so for me, that was really hard to be not
accepted in either realm, and especially in the sport that I end up loving. So now I feel like
there's much more acceptance, there's much more support, no matter how you choose to skate. And
I think I would have enjoyed that very much. Did you ever have a moment where someone who maybe,
maybe not picked on you, but was like skating is stupid, play, excuse me, play a real sport,
and you ran into them like 20 years later and you're like, well, that sucks. I'm Tony Hawk.
It's funny because I think I've actually managed to cross through the other side where,
for sure, that was the narrative about skating when I was young, was that why are you still
skating? That's a kid's toy. That's like doing yoyos or hula hoops. That was the attitude. And
then when I was in my 20s, I had some success in my late teens. And then my 20s is when I was
still trying to skate. And then that's when it was like, how could you possibly still skate? You
were a grown man. Like what is wrong with you? And now I've sort of pushed through to the other
side where it's like, hey, that's amazing. He's 50 and he can still ride a skateboard.
Yeah, you should. You know what you need to do? You need to find someone who is like a real jerk
to you when you're growing up and then bring them to the mega ramp and make a viral video of you
being like, you got this, dude, you got this, and they clearly won't have it. And then they break
all their bones. I feel like there's a there's a lot of liability. No, no, no, no, they did it
themselves. You just give them the sky brown. Like it's super easy. A 12 year old girl just did
this. You got this, man. And it's like a 50 year old dude who was mean to you in high school,
and he tries to, you know, shoot the gap and he just totally biffs and breaks every bone in his
body. And you're like, gotcha, man. Like this was 40 years coming. Haha, jokes on you. Yeah,
you never have. I think I take my success as the ultimate revenge. So I'm okay. Okay, fair, fair.
You're probably a bigger man than us. What about a senior tour for skateboarders? That'd be pretty
fun, wouldn't it? Like have a bunch of like older, up to like 60 or 70. If I can get the
double ARP to sponsor an event, I'm in. That would be that would be actually awesome to watch if
there's like 60 year old skateboarders going up and down the half pipe, like catching sick air.
You just dominate. You're like Phil Mickelson, who just went into the senior tour of golf and
is just like the first day that he was eligible. He just dominated. You should just make the
division and just kick everyone's ass. We'll see. There's a lot of possibilities. And there's a lot
of people still skating in my age. So, you know, let's see what, let's see where it takes us.
So you said that when you were like in your 20s and well established people would be like,
man, I can't believe you're still skating. Like when, when does a skateboarder peak?
Well, it's tricky because it's so subjective and it's such an art form that it's hard to say.
Like I know that I feel like I was skating. I was, I was taking a lot more risks and doing
more flashy tricks, say 15 years ago, but there are tricks that I'm learning now
that I hadn't thought of back then. So I feel like in some ways I'm better now,
but I know that I could have done all the crazy spinning moves and bigger air stuff back then.
So it really depends on what your, what your flavor of skating is.
You're a crafty vet now. Was there, was there a moment though that you realized like the
athleticism has kind of not escaped you, but a part of it? Like, oh,
can't do that exact trick anymore. Yeah, for sure. Uh, actually, it was, it was a couple years ago.
I did a, I did a video on my 50th birthday where I went through 50 tricks that I created
through the years and there were probably five to 10 tricks in that segment that I know that's
the last time I'm ever going to do them. Wow. That's a pretty cool thing to do.
The risk to reward is just not, it's not worth it. It's actually great to know that that's the
last time that you're going to do it. Instead of finding out that it's the last time you're going
to do it afterwards, be like, well, I just broke my ankle. I do have, I do have a closure on a
couple of tricks that I feel really good about. Have you been mistaken for Tony Hawk anywhere
recently? All the time. In fact, it happens so often and people think I make up those scenarios
like on Twitter. Um, those are just the ones that are entertaining enough to share.
But the other times it's just kind of, it's just sort of cliche like, hey, man, you look like Tony
Hawk. Oh yeah. Oh, that's cool. See ya. It is really, uh, I think our, uh, co-worker,
Coley wrote a blog about how you, you've somehow reached the almost perfect level of fame where
you're famous, but you also can go places and not be like completely hassled. And a lot of people
will do the double take. Like, is that Tony Hawk? Oh, okay. Yeah. I think it is, but I'm not going
to bother him. Uh, I would agree. Yes. It's just enough fame that it'll get you in the door to
places and maybe get you good reservations at restaurants, but not enough that you're,
that you're followed by a paparazzi. Yeah. And you're rich, which is, if you're going to be famous,
you want to make sure to have that rich equation. Otherwise, what's the point? Yeah. I think that
those, those two things should go hand in hand, but don't necessarily. Yeah. So I had two last
questions, uh, actually about things we talked about last time has, uh, did anyone mention the
Boney cock nickname to you after we talked about it last time you're on? No, but, um, that was
something that I said in high school. So, uh, I still do hear echoes of that. I don't know if it
stems from your show or not, but, um, well, this is me just re-creating it out. It's funny.
In those days, especially like elementary school and junior high is when I got that nickname.
We just called it getting picked on, you know, now we know it as bullying and now there's all
these resources for it. But back then you said that suck it up. Yeah. Well, so people, please,
if you see Tony Hawk first verify that it's Tony Hawk and second, don't call him Boney cock.
I mean, I, you know what? I, whatever you want to, hey, if you recognize me, I'm thankful.
In the chat, in the chat tomorrow on history with Nick Merckx, do not say Boney cock. Yes.
Don't say. Don't do it. You, yes, I'm talking to you. Delete it. Don't say it. Okay. That should
have cleared it up. Yeah, you'll have no problem with chat. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. That's
like the, you know what the barber, Streisand effect is? Yes. Yes. Yep. Sure do. Thanks. Thanks for
alerting people to that. Yeah. So that they will not participate in it. Do not say Boney cock.
Say, say barber, Streisand in the chat. Let's see. Do you have another question?
Oh yeah. So I had my last question. It was the beefy question. Go to butcherbox.com
slash PMT to receive quality meats delivered to your door now. So the other thing we talked about,
Jackass, we had Steve Oh on a couple of weeks ago. He said that they started filming the new
Jackass movie. The first week was incredible. And then Corona virus happened. I think when
you came on, you said that you didn't even know if they were going to do another movie.
Will you be in this one? Let's put it this way. I have planted that seed. Yes. And I have seen
some footage that made me laugh until I almost puke. Oh yes. You got to get in it. You got to
get it from everything Steve Oh said. This is going to be like, you know, I think there's a vibe of
these guys are washed up. So they're going to go even further to make sure that they
tell everyone they're not washed up. So you have to be a part of that. I saw three just still photos
and they were next level. Oh my God. I'm so excited. Just being able to laugh at a still
picture of this movie is going to be amazing. Yes. I did have one last question. So when you
were making the original Tony Hawk, I remember that there was a scene that had to be cut out because
it was like right after 9 11 that the game shipped. And there was a scene in an airport with like
terrorists who got replaced by pickpockets. In this new one, are we going to get the original
scene or is it still going to be the pickpockets? That was not in the first two games. Okay.
But but we will stay true to the series. So it'll be it'll be pickpockets. Okay. You know, we're
whatever was on the release, that's where we're going. Got it. Pro tip. If you do like another
update of it, you guys should add a Karen character who comes and tries to steal everyone's
skateboard and tells them like, I won't wear a mask. That's like, I know my rights. Barbecue
Becky shows up and she's like, Hey, get out of here. Yeah. And then you can go on the game. You
can go and you can tweet the video and have her canceled and fired from her job at like Fidelity.
Oh man. That would be way too real now. But that would be cool. I like our fantasy world of crazy
skate tricks and and grinding on high wire. No, just be the final boss. You got it. You
got to have the man that you're fighting against a little right, you know, like security. You had
to like dodge the mall cops and stuff. You should have like a Karen that shows up with a cell phone
in her hand and her husband who's like standing behind her looking a little embarrassed because
his wife's causing a scene, but you know, he won't say anything. And then like eventually he
like steps in front of her and he's like, go you kids go home and go tell your dad. That's how
you beat the game. Okay. Getting Karen canceled. So footplant the Karen. Yes. Final challenge.
Yes. Yes. Just something to think about if you want to, you know, bring us on. Yeah. I'll
lay off your face. Yeah. Right. We got this. Footplant all the Karen's. Yes. Yes. That'd be
awesome. Yes. Okay. All right. Well, Tony, thank you as always, man. Good to catch up with you.
Everyone go get it right now. Tony Hawk pro skater one and two remastered out. Good luck on the
Twitch chat and thanks so much, man. Thanks guys. That interview with Tony Hawk was brought to you

more outgoing, increased confidence, almost none of the anxiousness. You don't get the paranoia
that you get with Delta 9 usage. Delta 8 is that federally legal version of THC you've
heard us talk about. It's a perfect substitute for anyone that uses Delta 9 who wants that same
great feeling without the negative side effects. Billy's no longer playing NCAA football, meaning
he can use all the drugs that he wants without fear of repercussions or drug tests. Billy,
you should get involved in the Delta 8 scene. Did I say you got an email for a drug test, Billy?
Talking to myself. Yeah, I did get an email for a drug test. I was like,
I'm not playing anymore, so I'm not consenting to drug tests. There you go. Take the power back.

That's 3chea.com. Okay, let's get some segments. First up, we have Firefest of the week. Henry?
Firefest of the week. Go. My Firefest, you know, Firefest was built off kind of like film. What's
that hat? It's a Dodger's hat. It's got an arrow. It's pretty cool. What's the arrow pointing at?
I don't know. It's really just a cool hat that I really have no explanation for, but it's cool.
People forget that your brother lives in California and named his dog Mookie.
I was actually born in L.A., so you know, just going back to my roots.
That sucks. Mookie. Yeah, I was born in L.A. All right, go. Speaking of being in L.A., my Firefest
is not being somewhere cool where I can take cool pictures for the grim of the orange sky
or like Colorado where it was like a 90 degrees the other day and now it's snowing like my
Firefest is just not being somewhere where like the weather is just completely turning the world
upside down. Yeah, it sucks that you're so far away from the apocalypse that you don't get the
cloud that you would get if you're like if I was wearing this hat in a picture and the sky was orange,
like how many more likes would I get? Well, you should just filter it. Yeah, or just go anywhere
in New York City and be like New York City's dying. That's kind of true. That's an easy
a lot of retweets right there. Take a picture of an empty block. Yeah, or a U-Haul truck or a rat.
This guy must be moving out of the city. Just find Ricky the rat and be like look at this piece of
shit. Yeah, you can. New York sucks. Start thinking about what you can use around you.
Be positive. Hank, how about this? Let's be part of the solution. Some of the pictures are so dope.
Maybe you could start a fire in New York. Because it's like Firefest was built on, you know,
kind of like I want to be there. Like I can't miss that. Like that's kind of how I've been feeling
this week, seeing all the things coming out of like California and San Francisco. Such
force, fire, FOMO. I got you. You should get into arson. I feel that for sure. It is kind of cool
that it looks like the San Francisco Giants colors. Can I at least say that? Yeah. Like if you're
going to find a silver lining or a golden lining. Say whatever you want. It's uh, it does look like
it's the Giants year. I don't want to bet against the Giants when the sky is that color. But yeah,
it's pretty creepy shit. Yeah, very creepy. All right, PFT, your Firefest. Uh, my Firefest. Oh,
okay. Oh, good, good. You got this is the first time I was walking my dog and I forgot a poop bag
and it pooped and I felt such shame that I went back to my apartment and got a bag and picked it
up. Yeah, you got it. Good citizens. But you also have to trust me though. I thought it like I was
like, fuck, I'm a bag. And I was like, all right, let's keep walking. And then like the whole walk
back. I was like, I should probably go back. Okay, two things. One is tie the bag to the leash.
That's always a good way of never forgetting a poop bag. And two, did you do the fake
lean over like you're picking up the poop because I always do that and then I'll go back. But you
got to fake like you're picking it up so people don't judge you. I did. I did do a dramatic
like realizing I didn't have the bag. I really oversold it like I put my head back. No one's
listening because no one lives in New York City. I think I think what you have to do is you do like
when you get a foul called on you in the NBA, you just like look around like your point at
the scores table, just raise your hand and be like, this one's on me. Or you can find a bodega
go inside and just buy a Gatorade with, you know, get a plastic plastic bag that comes with your
newspaper. I do that. That's pretty much all they're there for at this point. 50 year fire
fest. Yeah, my first fest of the week is that we as a podcast are signed up for two different
fantasy teams. And I somehow figured out a way where I was the only one that was the actual
manager of it. So I'm going to have to be the one that forgets to set the lineups every week
and deal with the consequences. Wait, no, Jake. Jake is a, are you a co-manager? Yeah,
you gotta be the one. So do you have, do you have full control? Yeah, I can help you guys out.
Give it to them both of them. I might give you my personal fantasy teams. Honestly? On the spot
question right now, do we start Wolf, we'll follow the fifth. This is our other option. This is
terrible because no one cares about this. Right. But we've got our three rookie receivers, Jerry,
Judy, Henry, and Justin Jeffs. Here's what I like. I want to keep the rookies hungry on the bench.
Will Fuller is playing tonight. It's the only time it'll be healthy all year.
My firefest is cured. So then my other firefest goes out. It's more of a thoughts and yeah,
it goes out to the, really it's a thoughts and prayers for all the hardworking journalists
up in New England. They're not going to have the normal lunch buffet that they get during Patriots
games this year, which was widely known as one of the top 10 in the NFL. No craft services.
They're changing it. Hank, listen to this to a normal bag lunch. Like they're in Elm
Entry School, which by the way, what are kind of better sometimes because of COVID. Yeah.
You can't do like Golden Corral style serve yourself. Sneeze guard. Ross Tucker fucking
put in his hands and every fucking thing. Yeah. For his Twitter videos. Yeah. Peter King just
drinking. She's eating a whole tray of chili with his bare hands. I'm actually gonna say,
I actually like when Ross does the videos of the buffets, the different sweets because I'm
like, I, I'm curious. I always ask like, what's the food like? So I do appreciate it. It's a bag
lunch this year for New England. Just walk up and get a bag cold turkey. Yeah. A bag that who knows
how many people have touched. I think the crass will hook them up still. Little side. There's gonna
be like a little dark. No, but it's not going to be like, it's not going to be like, it's not going
to be like, you know, just fucking Turkey. It'll be nice together. Like it'll be a tasteful.
Yeah. A tasteful nice meal. Yeah. All right. My firefest is, I know this is gonna, I'm so stupid.
I, I've read enough headlines now that I really do think Mitsubishi could be good this year.
Yeah. So you agree? 100%. So then it's not even a firefest.
No, I mean, I have no bias whatsoever. So I'm definitely, I'm on your side. I think, I think
Mitch won't be as bad as he's not as bad as people are making him out to be. There's no chance that
he can be that bad. I'll sign that. I'll sign the dotted line right now. Also, when you look at the
the Yahoo rankings, it does say something that Nick Foles is ranked ahead of Mitsubishi despite
the fact that he's not even starting. Yeah. I just, he can't be that bad though. He's confident.
He can't be that bad. He's confident back. I just, you know, we always do this. You read enough
headlines. You read enough things where it's like, Oh, he's changed this. He changed that. He spent
all, all summers, you know, trapped in a film room. He worked on his mechanics. He's got the
confidence new offer and everything. I fully believe that Mitsubishi is going to win the
Bears 10 games this year. There you go. Well, he will be on the Bears. You will be starting
quarterback. Well, the Bears win 10 games. He is going to personally win 10 games. I can't wait
for Mitsubishi screenshots. He's gonna come back 10 games. Those are always the best. I feel good.
And you know what? He has taken a beating the last couple years, dude. Some of it was yeah,
some of it wasn't, but leaving something cool. He's become a punchline. And you know what?
He's about to punch back. Yeah. Big time. Big time. All right, Billy, you're fire fast. First
fire fest that you lost your shoelaces. No, but now Billy's wearing your last isn't Madison.
Yes. He's wearing work boots, despite the fact that he does not work. So I was doing my fantasy
draft on Wednesday night. And you know, I go through this every year where you have to create a
new Yahoo email or ESPN count. And then like, I have like nine emails and then like the forgot
password thing is just so annoying every year. Then my second, why don't you just click the
forgot password? Because that's honestly more complicated than just creating a new email.
Wrong. It sends you an email. And then it's just too frustrating. So I just create a new email.
Why don't you just use your email? Because it's not a Yahoo account. Password to that email.
Do you know any of the passwords to any of your email? You're just a man with no face.
Okay, it's just very complicated. Are you locked out of every account you own? No,
there's a lot of passwords and stuff. And then they update them. It's just, it's too complicated.
I don't really, I know, I was going to say, Billy, I know I, I rag on you a little bit,
just don't take this the wrong way. But I don't think you're creating like these
super elaborate crypto passwords. It's probably like whitey dog one. No, seriously, it's football
69 B12. Yeah. Explanation point. I can't imagine you have all these passwords floating in your
head. Like I can't remember what I did. No, because then there's like, you got to put a symbol in
the numbers. Okay. So it's I miss football and the I is a one. Yes. But there's just so many.
And then it's just every year it's like, what was the Yahoo password? Anyway, my other one is that
my chicks are finally old enough to crow. And I got a rooster that wakes me up at 430 every morning.
Okay. So what do you do? Kill it? Snuff the rooster. You're going to snuff it? I might,
depending on how hungry you are. You're going to finger it to death like your toad? Is it big
enough to eat? Take it to the pandas. Yeah, you got to wait till it's big enough to eat. Yeah,
I might eat it and then eat the fuck out of it. Yeah, chicken wings. Unless I use it to gamble.
Okay, not a bad idea. Keep it alive. Yes. Why don't you? Yeah, why don't you like eat one of
the chicks that crows to set an example to the others? Well, there's only one. Let them watch
you. True. Those are my firefests. Okay, that's good firefests. Good job, Billy. So wait, wait,
really, your firefests is now you're waking up earlier than you'd like to. Yes. And rolling over
and going back to sleep for another seven hours. Okay, I see what's going on here. And password.
And password. In general, I will give Billy this that Pat, you know what, people are always like
afraid of having the bill gates chip put into your brain or whatever. Put whatever you need to into
my body so that I never have to enter another password again. It's the are you a robot clicking
pictures? That's tough for you. No, there's too many fucking things nowadays with the
time identifying fire hydrants. Capture. Sometimes the capture which one is a is a
event. No, no. And then there's the word traffic. I don't sound like the boxes that are
you know what a bus looks like. No, I would rather create a new email to click the boxes to
identify all the crosswalks. I can't do that. They all have fucking crosswalks in them. There's
all. Yeah, exactly. Oh, but then it says that you'd click too many. Mm hmm. Jesus. The robots are
defeating me to Billy. Okay, I will say that the best feeling in the world is like when you
sign into something and you're like, I'm not going to remember the password and then it fills it in
for you. Yes, the face recognition, which it's like they probably have like Apple has everything,
but I don't care. That's what I'm saying. Put the real ID chip into my into my body and I'll
just wave it in front of the computer as long as I don't have to remember like a 10 character
password again. Totally fine. All right, let's get to let's finish up with a couple segments. We
have a PR 101. So on Tuesday after our podcast dropped, something else dropped. It was Odell
Beckham, the news that he possibly likes to get shit on. Mm hmm. And I say not online physically.
Yeah. And I say that if that's his thing, good for him, but it sucks. Here's what really sucks.
It sounds like it's not true because this this is the same outfit that has spread these rumors in
the past. They know how to get clicks mission accomplished. It worked. The worst part is
that he's accused of all this stuff and he didn't even get to get shit on. Right. So like he might
as well just go get shit on right now. Well, I was saying if he really wanted to do it, he needs to
incorporate into his first touchdown dance. He needs to have Jarvis Landry come over and fake
poop of football on his chest. I this was also the like it had I think the news one of the news
happened. It was like late at night. It might have been early, early morning. He's about
two. It was late at night. But it was that's the type of story that is only the jokes are only
good for about 20 minutes. Then all the good ones get used up and then everyone comes in
with the like I'm a stand up comedian. These are my shit puns. Yeah. And it's brutal. Number
number two wide receiver. Oh, I can't make sense. He's on the Browns. Number two because of using
bad Odell joke. No, I just use that one joke repeatedly about him. Did you know that he's a
number two? You lost the two points. Yeah, we get it. I got it back. I got it back. Two points.
You had your trip joke and I had a Jerry Judy. Okay. He should also just he should dye the hair
back blonde again, but then put brown streaks in it. That would work as well. I woke up too late
to make Cleveland steamer joke because my rooster woke me up early. Another fire fest. Why did you
make the joke? Wait, say that again. Cleveland steamer. The beginning. So I woke up too late
because I went back to bed after what I said was exactly what happens every morning. He wakes up,
rolls over and falls back asleep for seven hours. So you're blaming your roosters for waking up too
early and too late. It's just a shitty situation. Nice, Billy. Nice. You also use that exact same
joke on Twitter. Yeah, when you woke up. Yeah, that's okay. All right. So our last we have bigger
than Ben part three documentary review. I am hoping at this point because I don't know how has anyone
have they announced how many episodes are there have to be at least three more because we've just
scratched the surface of how big Ben deals with rehabbing during the time of covid.
Right. And I I'm hoping that it just never ends. I'm hoping this is actually a new like it's almost
a you know when Shia LaBeouf did the thing where like people got to spit on him or whatever watch
him for 48 hours. Remember he did that like living art thing. The just do it. You can do it thing.
Yeah, no. Yeah, he did something Shia. Yeah, Shia. Yeah, he did like stood outside a museum.
Right. And people could spit on him or something. That's just I think people showed up and then
he had to cancel it. Right. So Big Ben is doing the first ever documentary that never ends.
So just it's going forever. There's unlimited episodes. They will not destroy us. It's a vlog.
Yeah. Right. Big Ben is inventing vlogging as we speak. It would be incredible if he just
like changed the art of documentary. It's like it's actually just never ever going to end. I hope
that's the case because I'm enjoying it so much. The highlights from this episode though.
Big Ben doing the solo cam in bed. It was literally just he basically said and I don't
Big Ben hasn't been online a lot. He had that woman running his account. He basically was like you
guys use this picture forever to make fun of me and what she sees and all the memes. He just gave
that to us. It's definitely the same angle that you use if it's if you're on the other end of
an interesting call with it. It's it's just I'm so happy that he did that. I think
I want to say that Big Ben is just ignorant to the Internet. But part of me thinks like Big Ben
no man got our back. He's giving us something to make fun of him. Big Ben is addicted to porn.
He said that himself. He knows all the shadiest part doesn't he probably just goes to like types
and porn dot com. Yeah. I say that doesn't mean he's on the Internet. That definitely doesn't
mean he's on that. He definitely has DVDs. He probably when he grew out that that big beard.
He was like sweet. Now I can go down to the corner store pick up some penthouses like I used
to back in the day. Right. No one will recognize me. Right. The same guy he's been buying slurpees
from for 14 years. A lot of beard jokes. We also had my my favorite line was his doctor
saying that he almost crushed my hand when when he when he like got out of the cast. That was
another one of those lines that was so strong. Definitely written down a tree. Definitely written
by Ben. Yes. He's just making sure that Ben gets his narrative out there. I liked how when
Rothesberger was kind of playing doctor when he was talking to a surgeon. He was like what is
going to be harder to throw doc a hard ball or a long ball. And the doctor was like well don't
you have to you have to throw a long ball hard. Right. And Ben was like no but like there's some
throws that are harder than others. And it eventually came out that Ben was saying like
a difficult throw to make like an NFL throw is run to worse. He would say like like a 14 yard
out right as opposed to like throwing the ball 65 yards which would also be a hard throw right
but also a long throw maybe not as difficult. Right. Right. So that was that was funny watching
Ben try to like get his doctor to also be his quarterback coach. Yeah mental gymnastics and
then he we got to see Ben throw his first pass. He said it was like riding a bike. He said it's
almost like he's done it his whole life and we're like you have when he saw that makes sense when
he saw an NFL football for the first time. It reminded me of those videos of a dog seeing
their owner that was deployed overseas coming home. He like saw it. He just like ran across the
room just freaking out so excited to wagging his little tail and he just yeah. I think Ben when
he got injured he just forgot that he had thrown a football before because when he said that when
he's like yeah it's it felt like I'd done this a million times. Ben I think you have well he's
never gone more than probably a week in his life without throwing a football. I would say more than
like two days. Probably probably a matter of hours. Yeah. I just thought it was interesting
this episode but also in the ones before a little bit he discusses his body like he's like he's a
first time a homeowner on a on a fixer upper show. We was like then we had to take the sink out. We
did not realize what an ordeal that would be. I guess the previous owners have done some weird
stuff to it. Like that's how he's talking about his arm. He's like yeah so we went in there and
they had to reattach three or four of the tendons. That was going to take a longer process
to fix than we had thought before. And then his wife goes we did not know what we were signing
up. It's just a it's a documentary about a house that happens to be Ben Rockwell's burger's body.
Right. And his his wife is very prominently in the documentary. There was a lot of beard talk.
A lot of big Ben is a family man. It's just great. It's great. It's great to see. It gives 110 percent.
I did like the subtle irony when she was like if Ben has his mind to it like he won't hear no.
There's no okay. Yeah. All right. Okay. Yeah. So Ben. Good job. I I'm just so happy that I get to
watch him on Sunday. I'm so happy to get to watch. It really hasn't set into me. I I don't feel like
they're the they're the team. They're like the Raiders. They're the team. Everyone's everyone's
dark horse. I mean I I think the Steelers have football. What. Monday football. Monday football.
So Monday football. I you guys know I said a million times last year how much I love that defense. So
now if Ben is just like average they're going to be really fucking good. Ben is going to be so excited
though. Yes. Yeah. Count on the first like three passes. He's about 10 yards too far. He's also
going to quiet the crowd that doesn't exist. Yeah. Just out of habit. Yeah. Just like whoops.
He'll also do like the terrible towel like he'll acknowledge the crowd. He'll quiet them and then
he'll score a touchdown. He'll probably throw the football into the crowd. Yes. Like walk up to a
completely empty front row and try to hand it to a girl that's not there. I need it. So bigger than
Ben. Part three. Hopefully again there's like 20 million parts. It just never ends. All right.
That's our show. Everyone have fun this weekend. We will see you on Sunday or Monday morning.
We'll have our NFL recap. We're going to do every game. Well fastest two minutes. We'll have Dion on
for a few for 15 20 minutes. It's going to be great. Football is fucking back. Football is back.
Hank best of luck on Friday night against the Raptors. Soggy Saros on Sunday. Yes. We will be
live though on part of my take twitch. Okay. All right. My take twitch tune in. All right.
We'll see everyone on Monday. Have a great weekend. Love you guys. Billy do you have anything for
this fact. Wales closest land. Wait. You did this one. You did this. No. I told this one on
the. Oh my god. The people. The fact is no longer fun. It's not. We heard it. You guys heard it.
Yes. I'll do it. You're just I'll do it. We do this podcast for each other in this room. I'm doing
a two for Wales closest land relative are pigs and hippopotamuses. My second fact I'm going to
bring out which one's closer. Sounds like you updated the fun fact because you found out that
distance. Anyway. Second fun fact. Dallon legs are actually more the most poisonous spiders that
you just don't have enough venom to kill. That is not true. It is. Check it out. It's an old
urban legend. Daddy long legs. Poisonous. You're now reading snapple. Yeah. Because you're reading
sample facts. You're reading. Okay. You asked you for a two. I gave them a two for a new fact.
Well you're reading. What you find. Okay. Have you heard this one. This comes from the University
of California Riverside spider research department seems pretty legit. Have you heard this one daddy
long legs are one of the most poisonous spiders but their fangs are too short to bite humans.
This tale has been lurking around for years. I've heard it repeatedly in the United States and
even had a school teacher misinforming her class at a museum in Brisbane Australia. This is incorrect
but to clarify several points need to be explained first. So yeah it seems like it seems like it's
very incorrect. It's an old wives tale. They put me on the spot for two for they do not have poison
and by powers of logic cannot be poisonous from them. Oh 21. You can still guess. Oh
sixty three forty two forty two.
Twenty one six nine. It's nine. Six plus three.
All right. See you everyone.
