it is officially the best month of sports because holy shit was Thursday night awesome
we had playoff baseball drama we had an incredible Thursday night football game Kirk Cousins
is back it's Kirk Tober remember that it's Kirk Tober
uh, I feel like we should start with the playoff baseball just because
Now let's do football. That was an awesome game
I can't believe the bucks blew it and kirk cousins threw for the most yards in atlanta falcons history
Yeah, uh 509. Yeah, the falcons have become the seahawks everything that the Seahawks have been for the last 10 years
I feel like that's it's just utter chaos any time the Falcons take the field their last four games have been all insane
Yeah going down to the end. I do think they play the Seahawks two in two weeks, which is gonna be just
I'll be fine. That'll be a fun game Kirk is the first player in NFL history with a
450 yard passing game for three different teams now. Wow. Hey, with
the commies, the Vikings, and now with the Falcons. And he did the Taylor Swift dance
after the one that's lagging and surfing. Yeah, he did that one. It was, it was nice
to see Kirk just like for some reason at the start of every game and at the end of every
game, Kirk cousins has been awesome this year. Yeah, it was, uh, it looked like the bucks
had that game. They had that game. All they needed to do was not have, they had two times where they had that game
because they had the fumble who was a Bucky Irving fumbled, uh, where if he just goes
down and they get a field goal, maybe it changes it or you know, get a one first down to win
the game. Then they have, uh, the penalty, the holding penalty backs them out of field
goal range where all they needed was a first down after the Falcons, which I think was correct. Go for it on fourth
and 15. Yes. And that's why you go for it. Yeah. Because you know, listen, they didn't
get it, but you knew that you needed at least you needed to stop no matter what, whether
it be a punt it and you need to stop or you go for it on fourth and 15 and they, and they,
uh, you don't get it. You're going to need to stop at least hold them to a field goal. But yeah,
that was an incredible game. The Falcons, like the last play just broken tackles
everywhere. It feels like the bucks just ran out of gas.
They're often stalled out in the second half after an explosive first half and
fuck man, whenever we get a good Thursday night football game,
it's like bonus football. Yeah.
Michael's woke up tonight. Yeah., he had even Al had a good time
So yeah that that possession that you talked about when the Bucks got it back
It was after the the fourth and 15 play
Maybe where he Morris is a secret genius because he had Kirk throw an interception
That was basically as good as a really really shitty punt
Yeah, and then they shanked punt a shank punt then they got the ball the Bucks got the ball with one minute 41 seconds left in the fourth
It was on the 28 yard line and then they somehow backed up out of fuel goal
Yeah
Had to punt it punt goes through the end zone because of the field position they got from going for it on fourth and 15
Sometimes it's the right move. Yeah, just say fuck it. You know what? Let's try to get it
We have a lot of plays in our playbook for fourth and 15
it was the right move in that situation because again if you if if you punt there you're gonna need to stop regardless and
like I just
Give yourself a chance to maybe get a first down there. They didn't get it, but they still they still won the game
I mean that was we should give some credit to Mike Evans to had it hundred touchdown tonight
He's he is gonna go down. We did this all last year
But to remind everyone if Mike Evans plays another four years at this level
he's gonna go down like top five six in touchdowns and
Receiving yards. He's just so consistently awesome
Mike Evans deserves all the credit in that respect. But yeah, Kirk Cousins that last drive
I and I'll say this to the fourth and 15
Kirk cousins, you know, well that was that was the interception, right? Yep
Didn't throw it below in front of the sticks. That's true. Yeah, that's it. Like he didn't check down
He didn't check down like he took he was like fucking I need to I need a first down. I need 15 yards
We're not gonna check this down
Good job Kirk cousins Kirk might not agree with the science behind this, but he is evolving. Yeah, it
was a man. What a fun game. I mean, the first half was just an absolute shootout. I'm more
I don't know what happened to the Bucs offense in the second half because it did just kind
of sputter. All they needed was if they had just scored a single touchdown in the second
half instead of getting two field goals They win this game in regulation
But well also maybe if if where he Morris had tried to kick a field goal at the end of the first half
Yeah, true. It was so fun. That was such a fun game of football. Yeah
I love football. I love football. It's the best. It's the best sport in the world. Yeah, and then we had
Opposite the football was Pete Alonso being the hero that the Mets have always wanted.
That they always knew was inside. Thankfully Mets fans never gave up on Pete.
He was, I mean, he strikes out there and he's definitely not a Met next year. And now I feel like you can't, you have to give him all the money.
So it's-
Just based off a home run.
It's very hard to get something trending within the span of one baseball at bat,
but double play was trending when Pete Alonso got up and played because everybody thought,
okay, here comes the season ending double play from Pete Alonso. Goes oppo with it. He was sitting
on a change up. Also credit was it Lindor that had the bat before him? Yeah. I'll say this about that
at bat. Lindor let off the inning. Lindor let off the inning. And you know what? It was a great
piece of hitting. I mean, Lindor's a- He walked. Wait let off the inning. And you know what? It was a great piece of hitting.
I mean Lindor's a-
He walked.
Wait, did he walk?
No, but it was a great piece of hitting Max.
He fought.
Learned ball is a great at bat.
Lindor's awesome.
I mean Lindor's just awesome.
And now Max has to be- so the craziest stat, which I still don't believe because I've been
playing baseball for fucking ever, that was the first time someone hit a,
down hit a go ahead home run in the ninth inning
of an elimination game.
Yeah.
That's, or ninth inning or later, yeah.
Isn't that crazy, Max?
Not elimination game.
I thought you guys did.
Not elimination game.
No, I thought it was elimination game.
No, it's winner take all.
Yeah, whatever, it's elimination.
Yeah, but no, one team could be eliminated and not have oh, yeah. Well, you know, I mean, yeah
That's what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about game six. I'm saying yeah got it. Yeah, what a double elimination game
Yeah, yeah. What no it's never happened before it's crazy stat
When they said it we couldn't believe it
Well, it's basically only a game three game five or game seven. Correct. What was the big moment in the Cubs in the Cubs? It was Rajeev Davis
it was the eighth inning and they tied it. Okay. They tied it. Because there have been
Joe Carter was in game six. And there have been. But that wasn't a winner take all. Right.
Well no that was yeah that was game six. It can't be. That wouldn't count for the. Correct.
Correct. Yeah and there have been there have been base hits that have taken a team from losing to winning in the ninth
inning of a winner-take-all game that weren't home runs, but never just a dinger.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
That's a crazy stat.
They've been playing baseball for fucking 7,000 years, but I guess they didn't really
have...
They only played...
Isn't that crazy that they used to just have the World Series?
Yeah. You'd win the pennant? If you won the pennant it it was a huge deal. Yeah, you're just in the World Series
But now the Mets team. I just would have loved that format
Yeah, people are mad that we keep calling the Mets team of destiny because their payroll is very big that doesn't it doesn't team of
Destiny I know the Tigers are also they're the AL team of destiny
but the Mets the way they keep
winning games is ridiculous and they just like like Max has been saying it
for weeks now like he'll just see a hit that will get fielded by the shortstop
you like that would have gone through for the Mets yeah the that's the kind of
stuff that's going through his head now the oh my god song too yeah got their
own song that their own player made.
It's pretty good.
It's a pretty good vibe for the Mets.
I think Pitbull's coming out of the way.
Is he really?
Pitbull.
It's very hard to get America to root for the Mets.
Really any team from New York, it's tough to get coast to coast, okay this is a fun
team behind them.
But yeah Max, I feel like most neutral observers are are gonna be like, these Mets are fun.
Are you afraid?
No, people aren't afraid of Mets.
I don't give a shit about that.
You afraid?
What people think, I don't care.
No, I also don't think there's ever a team people can root for from New York, like outside
of New York.
Detroit is the team you're thinking of.
In this series, I think people are gonna look at the Mets and be like, that's a fun team.
I guess, but it's not, I guess, yeah.
So but you're afraid because they're playing great baseball right now.
The Phillies are better than the Mets at every aspect of the game.
They have a better lineup, they have a better starting pitcher, they have a better bullpen,
doesn't matter.
But.
Doesn't matter.
But. But they're just the
team right now I know something that the Phillies have been that team in the
past and the end and it ran out of juice so I'm just hoping that the day off
tomorrow kills the juice oh what happens if the Mets wake up on
Saturday and the juice is still there then it's trouble
I think it's gonna go five. I think it's gonna go five and with my track record
I probably you're gonna fly to New York Street stream it five with me fucking bill
Meek Phil and Frank were in my face and it's just gonna be and probably gonna freak out
Oh, there's gonna be another screenshot that'll live on forever.
Yeah.
Frank's going to tell you nine times the Mets have lost already.
They're going to suck.
And I'm going to keep telling him to shut up.
There's going to be multiple moments where you and Frank are doing the same thing and
we can be like, yeah, early onset Fleming.
Yeah.
I mean, it's going to go five.
The Phillies are going to go up two one. I's going to go five. So we gave you some glasses. The Phillies are gonna go up to one
I'm gonna be comfortable. I'm gonna be like, okay, we're gonna win this. It's all good. We're gonna get past the Mets
we're gonna be up in game four and
Then it's gonna be and then the Mets are gonna have a heroic comeback in game four and then game five
They're just gonna smoke us and it's gonna be it's it'll be like for nothing Mets in game five
That's how it's gonna be it's it'll be like four nothing Mets in game five that's how it's gonna go Wow I hope memes happen to you memes you're Mets fan
how you feeling I'm fired up yeah I was freaking out you're gonna take down
maxi I know we already agreed to watch in separate rooms oh what I don't I
don't agree you know is that is that to preserve the relationship?
Yeah.
Sunday we're going to be streaming all day Sunday.
You guys have to watch it in the same room.
What's going on?
He leaned up to the mic to say something.
Who? All right, wait, hold on. I have a question. Who is,
is this more for you you max or for memes I feel like it might be more for max because memes is low-key like would get physical I don't think it would ever get
this no we get physical I just don't want to be awkward and uncomfortable and
I don't want to know what are you what we're we I think we just yell at each
other yeah it's one thing like Hanks a piece of shit I deal with Hank and then I know he's a piece of shit and I can walk away being like there's a piece of shit
Means is like I sit next to each other and it's we work together and we're kind of like partners back here. Oh
No
But the tension would be great. I'm like it'd be great. Yeah
Sounds like it's something that people want to see content producers, right?
Thinking about good content to produce. Oh, that's a good point Hank. Yeah, you shouldn't have said this on the yeah
Like okay, think about it think about if it weren't if it weren't you two
Okay
If it was two other people on this podcast and they were exactly like you guys you would probably want those clips, right?
Correct. Say if PFT and I were playing in theC championship game, we're like, we love each other.
No, but me and Big Cat, no, no.
He went to the game, he had to go to a wedding, you idiot.
You know about weddings.
Dumb dumb.
Big Cat, if you and I were playing against each other in the NFC, we'd probably watch
it in separate rooms and not really have any cameras on to preserve our relationship, right?
That would be an acceptable answer.
No, yeah.
No one would ever, yeah. People wouldn't needle us the whole time and it wouldn't be
the most stressful thing of our lives. Wouldn't be like going back to Rajay Davis when, when
the Cubs won the world series and Dave showed up to game seven in a full Cleveland Indians
uniform. You know that he doesn't actually. Yeah. But still that like I deal with that
stuff. That for some reason, Hank, I think we should That for some reason Hank I think we should
I think we should ask the listeners if they would like to worry memes are max and memes
Yeah, they can cut it. We will have no idea do real quick do an ad in the middle
If you can hear this they didn't cut it help us. We'll give you Sunday Sunday. So I'm all that's for Sunday
I'm not asking for Tuesday or Wednesday. Sunday's a deal. We'll give you Sunday. Sunday. So I'm all asking for Sunday. I'm not asking
for Tuesday or Wednesday. Sunday's a deal. We have a loose day. What? I want Tuesday.
You want Tuesday. All right. Hank wants Tuesday. Saturday. Saturday. Fine. Fine. I have a question
Max. Yeah. When are you going to put on the Phillies overalls that you got? Not. You have
to. Game one. You say it must win. Wait. Fact or fiction. you have to game one must win way back there
fiction you said it was a must-win but
it's not game well it's not a game one
but it's a must-win correct but it's not
important enough to put it sounds like
it's not a must-win then it's not game
one are you gonna wash it a bar at home
it's good question I've been that a bar is tough because it's college football Saturday
Because like no bar is gonna be like giving the baseball game any I bet Hank knows some bars that don't play college football
Really shitty bar like a bartender wears suspenders and makes a drink that you're gonna hate
My best-case scenario is finding like all right that no one wants to go. Yeah, all right, so yeah Saturday
You guys are fine to watch apart. Yeah
Sunday we're gonna be streaming. I'd like that's fine. You guys just sit on opposite sides of the world. Yeah, that's good. That's good
That's good
And then Tuesday's couch Tuesday we can do this couch or just do click couch. Yeah, yeah, because we're gonna record after
Okay, but not the couch
Oh maxi are you afraid of getting Bing Bong Maxi? I always get Bing Bong
No, he's it's literally just that way
It's the Villanova game that we watched with Shane Gillis here that has has him like why wouldn't we watch the key this this room has him
Bothered I mean all every room. I don't win in any room. There's no good room
Every room ends in disaster for me and it always ends in like oh should watch outside
We don't have it where we where somewhere if he's roof. Yeah, we can watch on my roof
That's outside. There's no room max is not allowed inside max an outside cat. Oh
Just like lay a little tray of snacks out for him a saucer of milk
But I will say Saturday morning's gonna come I'm gonna be like fills in three. Yeah, of course, of course
You're scared right now the Mets are playing it
Baseball is the craziest sport where it's just like if you're
hot at the right time you can just ride it I mean last year we saw it with the Diamond
backs and the Rangers we do have so the other three series of Padres so I it's not a sweep
you can't say it's a sweet it's a two game sweep yeah but would you say two games are
a sweep you have to I think you have to really series I think if it's a series and the other team doesn't win
I just think they won the series. Did anybody do we see any fans that brought brooms to the game?
I'm not sure. I just don't I don't feel comfortable calling to winning two games a sweep
I think you just have to say two games sweep. Yeah, so the Padres made quick work of the the Braves
Hank and I have futures on the Padres for rooting for the Padres
We're all on board pods, baby. Wait, when did you guys get Padres futures?
I did mine late a month and a half ago dumb. He's had his for a while. Fuck
I wish I knew that you guys still had I literally did it the worst time
I cash I I got my Padres future in like I want to say mid-august and you can and I cashed it out to put
On Travis Hunter for Heisman, which by the way, okay, okay, yeah, he's Travis Hunter if we haven't mentioned
I don't know if you've heard us say it before Travis Hunter is there have a bye week this week
So people are probably gonna forget it. I'm not gonna forget. We're not gonna forget
I'm thinking about Heisman. I'm gonna be watching the Padres play baseball. Yeah, I mean be like, you know what that future
I cashed out on I'm actually happy that I did because I invested it. I made money now
I'm rolling that over
Invest in Travis Hunter. He's not getting injured this weekend. No, he's his bye week
The so yeah, the Padres play the Dodgers the Tigers which are the other that's the other great story in these playoffs
I mean, what was the what is it like point two percent chance to make the playoffs in August?
And any team that beats the Astros is gets special
place in everyone's heart. I haven't forgotten. No, a lot of people have forgotten. No, not
me. I'm not going to forgive. Never not going to forget because they ducked out. They lucked
out during the COVID year, correct? Where they didn't have fans there to give them shit.
But yeah, the Tigers, are they, they're among the lowest payrolls in baseball, which is
crazy. They're the youngest team in major league baseball payrolls.
And also let's let's look up how much younger the Tigers are than every other
team. Yeah. And then we had a, and then, and then,
so it's the AL central and the Yankees in, in, in the AL playoffs now,
because the Royals beat the Orioles through the Orioles. Listen,
you got to score more than one run in two games.
I'd like to retract what I said about maybe America finding the Mets fun to root for just
looking at their payroll.
Yeah, that's see, that's where I draw the line.
It's like they're not fun to root for, but you have to, they undoubtedly have team of
destiny vibes and I don't think payroll matters for team of destiny.
Memes also already said like a lot of the guys who are playing are not big money guys.
Correct. Like their their top players are pennies on the dollar. Right. Um, alright, so go scroll down,
scroll down. This is actually awesome. So the Royals are the 20th payroll,
the Guardians are the 23rd payroll, and the Tigers are the 26th. That's awesome. So the the the entire
Ale central still still alive in the playoffs everyone who made it from the ale central and
Now they gotta take down the Yankees and Yankees fans are cocky right now
We got to look up and see how much money we owe Gary Sinise foundation for Paul skeens. Yes
I think it's a decent amount. I think it's a lot a lot of memes
We look at memes just said that Josh hater who blew the game for the Astros makes more money than the entire payroll of
The Tigers Tiger. I love those. I love those
By the way, did you guys see that that sounded like a revel?
Tweet did you guys see he has a guy? Yeah. So Revelle
has a guy who monitors the internet for him at all times.
And he sends emails of like, hey, here's stuff that people
are talking about on Twitter.
emails are interesting stuff. Text is something that you
should attend to pretty quickly. And then there's a
agreement that if a phone call happens, it's something like woe retiring. He said something or that's
That's imagine being Ravel's guy
I would love to see examples of times where his guy has emailed him something and reveals like this should have been a text
Yeah. Yeah, you know this. Yeah, wait the guy that that caught Shohei Otani's 45th home run this year was escorted out by
security.
That's a call.
You have to call me about that.
That's a call.
That's absolutely a call.
What a night of sports though.
What a night of sports.
October's the best.
Do you think it's guys?
And we started, what is it memes?
Today is the first day.
We're here 57 days in a row of football.

No, I think February's last.
February's definitely last.
January, you get the playoffs every single weekend.
Like every weekend of January is fun

Important playoff football game. I disagree. No, I there's one month of the year that people agree to go sober and that's January

In February. That doesn't matter. You can go skiing. Okay. All right. So recap memes
maker have shame. Also, fun is holiday is January 1st college football playoffs playoffs.
No, no, no. January Januaryst is the most one of the most depressing
days of the year besides football it is New Year's Eve stinks I think New Year's Eve is
a terrible holiday but here's what you do on New Year's Eve no even when I was you're
old when you go out to a bar on New Year's Eve what you do is you pay a hundred dollars
to go to the crowdest bar that you've ever been in in your life.
Then you have to wait about 45 minutes to get a beer.
And then the beer is really small.
And then you have to go to the back of the line, try to find the bathroom, then get back
in line and go back to the bar and wait for another 30 minutes.
It's bad holiday.
What were your picks?
So Shane's got to make the graphic.
I had well, I mean, we got fucked to go the last you guys got the first
two picks and we got the last two picks I actually think I bottled my first pick
so I gave you guys you did with September yeah that was a mid-ramp it's
kind of like in the middle of like football's back yeah but it's kind of
in the middle of like is it hot is it cold? I got July days May
January yeah, that's pretty good. Oh, that's it. Yeah
That's why we couldn't do that's why the draft is gonna be lopsided because there's only three we only could do three each
Yeah, not a true Mount Rushmore. Yeah, let's still make a graphic. Yeah, what was yours? I did June March February
That's tough February's bad when January was yours I had I had September
November and
I like November
November's good, dude Thanksgiving's giving rocks. I had October December April
December's a fun month cuz no one gives a fuck October you easily
Guess you'll see
pretty good these
It's not about rush. It was it was a bonus
No, it's also a fun Mount Rushmore bonus of having PFT have the whole calendar except October and just going September and we all were like what? Honestly the real reason I picked it is because I had a great September.
There's literally a song that says wake me up when September comes.
Oh okay cool so we're gonna we're gonna base all of our takes on Billy Joe lyrics?
Yeah okay that's fair. Definitely.
Okay, anything else?
We also have a great song by Earth, Wind & Fire.
Do you remember
the 21st night of September?
Badda-ya!
Um, do we have anything else?
Ah-ya!
That was just a fun night of sports.
I'm buzzing off sports.
You guys feel the same way over very own what?
Would you say October's very own?
October's very own
You know that is no

Chevy. There's a reason we've never done a Mount Rushmore of pickup trucks.
And that's because for pardon my take, there's only one pickup truck.
The Chevy Silverado. Why is that?
Silverado is a partner partner you can depend on.
We've all spent time driving using the Silverado for all kinds of pardon my
take jobs, adventures, and other shenanigans.
Silverado has been our ride for a
cross-country trip to the Super Bowl. Silverado helped us dig the biggest hole ever in the state
of Ohio last year at Grit Week. Silverado helped us give fullbacks the recognition they deserve
with the Low Man Award. And this year, Silverado was out west with us with our latest Grit Week.
Silverado brings the Grit 2 legendary grit paired with modern truck tech inside and out.
Massive screens, up to eight cameras with 14 different views to help make driving, towing,

Okay, boys, week five, we have bi-weeks.
London.
Bi-weeks are here.
London is here.
I, I'm going to say right now, it's not my favorite slate in the fact that there
are some tough games to pick, but I do love the setup that we have a morning game in London we have
six games in the first slate four games in the second slate and a Sunday night
football that is perfect amount of football watching where you can actually
watch every game and not just be like oh eight nine games at noon and we're just
everywhere and don't know what's going on. I love how this day tapers out.
It's a good mix for sure. Yeah. I hate it when there's all the games in the early slate
and then we just get three and then two of them are stinkers in the afternoon. I think
it's set up for good day football. I liked the England game the first time it happens
because it's something different. It's correct new and you get breakfast and football, which
is wonderful. Are we going to get the simulcast with like the Toy Story animated character?
I don't think so.
I don't think that's a sweet thing.
You remember when they had like animated booger in the booth discussing the game?
That was awesome.
This is going to be fun though, because I think the Vikings are undefeated in London,
right?
Yes, we have Jets at Vikings, I think the Vikings are 3-0.
3-0 there.
Both teams did the stupid thing and they're traveling on Thursday, practicing on Friday.
They should have gone early in the week, but time zones, remember. Vikings are going further.
Vikings are going a little bit further and they're going one hour further too. Yeah.
So this is the ultimate East coast game for the Vikings who haven't been to England since
the year 1065. Yeah. Vikings, by the way, have
let I have only been trailing this season for three minutes and 26 seconds. That's pretty crazy. That was also the crazy
part is that was week one against the Giants when they're
at three nothing. So they have been dominating everyone. I feel
like this might be where you have to try to start fading them now
The Jets have a lot going on
We have cadence gate memes is back. I'd like memes to maybe address cadence gate because after the game on Sunday
Aaron Rodgers said we'll just have to go, you know, maybe it's on them
Salah then said
What was his exact quote? He said we we've, I think he said, there's no problem.
And there's no, there's no, no cadence issue. Yeah, there's no cadence issue, which means there's
definitely a cadence issue. memes. There's a cadence issue with the Jets right now.
I don't think there's a cadence issue. What do you mean?
There's just not one that's just how he plays. What about their false starts though? This is just an outlier
Okay, first four weeks because the first three were fine. He now week for a problem. Here's here's Salah's exact quote He sounds like Danny Boy Kane right now. There is no cadence issue. There never was a cadence issue
It was created at no time did I
get attacked by cadence if I got attacked by cadence I'd be high-tailing
out of here like Carl Lewis and also just on the record Aaron Rodgers never
had swine flu we don't know that he's been immunized yeah that's true ah memes
this reminds me when you have Aaron Rodgers saying one thing Robert Salaah
saying the other kind of reminds me of a little trip to Egypt.
No, do you think Aaron Rodgers is going to stop by the British Museum and see all the
Egyptian artifacts that that he didn't get to see while he was in Cairo? Yeah, I think
you're during mini camp, he'll probably go in a little fact finding tour, figure out
what's going on Princess Kate to do you think? Do you think they could have probably figured
out the cadence during mini camp? That's that might be you think they could have probably figured out the cadence during mini camp that's that might be an issue they
could have worked on together yeah so means this cadence issue it's an issue or are you saying that what floreos or sorry
Salah said there is no cadence issue there never was a cadence issue it was created is that Salah talking or is that one of
your many floreos maybe taking out of context even though he was very clear saying there's no cadence issue
There would never was a cadence issue. No, that's clear. That's clearly Bob. That's Bob. That's Bob. You're out on Bob
I've noticed now that you're not calling him Robert. Yeah
I'm out on Bob Bob. So now the question is is Rogers out on Bob?
No, they're still good. I think it's week to week
There was a video after the Patriots game where they hugged immediately, but they never
put that out.
I don't want you to see it.
That's where the Florios come in.
Because Jets PR, they should have put that out immediately, but instead they just waited
to put in the YouTube episode of One Jets Drive and just never put it out online.
They didn't show the hug.
They didn't show the hug.
Very dishonest media not telling the full picture about that.
No, you got to get that out, clip it, clip it put it out immediately be like they love each other
Yeah, look at this hug. They clearly love each other
So memes let me ask you this though Aaron Rodgers knee is that an issue that I believe that's an issue
That is an issue got a swollen knee and I don't think that a long plane ride helps with swollen knees
Let me ask you another question memes. Is there so Devante Adams?
Obviously in the news wants to be traded.
A lot of teams have said, you know,
I saw the Chiefs were, are obviously in the market,
but they're not going to probably do it in division.
There was the Steelers.
The Cowboys came out and said they're not interested.
Thank you Cowboys, no one asked you.
Well, they don't have any money left over. Yeah, but that was very Jerry Jones to be like, hey, we're not interested. Thank you cowboys. No one asked you what they don't have any money left over
Yeah, but that that was very Jerry Jones to be like, hey, we're not interested
We didn't fucking ask it'd be very funny though
If Jerry Jones just a week after saying like we wanted Derek Henry, but couldn't get him cuz we're poor
Yeah, he's like, yeah, you know what a big name-wide receiver will make it happen. Yeah Saints Dark Horse
Devante Adams Derek Carr Fresno State and then you have the Jets where everyone thinks he will eventually end up is
There a possibility memes that Devontae Adams trading for Devontae Adams is kind of like
Having a kid to save the marriage
Just add another guy. Yeah, we'll be fine. Just add another guy and we'll be fine. This will make Aaron happy
Yeah, this finishes off Aaron's wish list This will change my wandering eye to other coaches if I have Devante Adams
Just get me Devante Adams and I swear to God I'll never bring up cadence again
And if you get Devante Adams, you could get yourself Aaron Rodgers for a couple more years
Okay. Oh, it'll be happy. What about what about Robert Salah? He won't have many years. Okay
What about what about Robert Salah? He won't have many years. Okay, me it means do you know? Do you want Aaron Rodgers for another four years? Yes. Okay, okay
Court is just the worst. He's off to his worst start in his career
We had tough schedule. Okay. Okay tough schedule. All right. So how are you feeling about this game?
I'm nervous. The Vikings are the best team in the NFL Sam Darnold potential revenge game
Even though we already had it one time. Mm-hmm
but it's a bounce back there won't be any rain and
The just normally
There won't be any rain not on Sunday morning, are you sure it's in London, England? Well, the game's not on Sunday morning
Sunday afternoon. Yeah
Sunday morning here. Okay, but the games not
We're here the games in London. Excuse me Sunday afternoon in London. There won't be great. Are we sure?
Positive so the thing about that stadium. It's at Tottenham Stadium, right? I'm gonna look it up right now
It's at the Hotspur Stadium. And the way that thing is set up, they've got an opening in the roof
above the field. So all the fans you don't get rained on if you're a fan, but the field
will get slick. This is the same field that last year, I think the bill said it was like
playing on fucking cement. I think that's the direct quote. It was not good. So what
they do is the NFL, we know the NFL first and foremost, protected shield, they care
about player safety, 100% paramount to them.
So when they send teams over to England to play on grass soccer fields,
what they do is they have them remove the grass soccer field and install, uh,
field turf. So they're going to be playing on a slick stadium,
maybe or a slick field.
Okay. Chance of precipitation on Sunday at Tottenham Stadium is
35 no 50%
That feels like it could be rain could be rain, but 50% chance. It's just 50% of the area true
True good point memes only half the field will get rained on good point. Yes the area half the area
Yeah, I hope our area doesn't get wet you got I think
do I think would really all cadence rain a lot of on the Adams all that aside I
think the thing that's scary is to you and should be is that the Vikings defense
is a fucking monster unit right now and Brian Flores has them playing incredible ball and you have a quarterback who has a gimpie leg
He has a gimpie leg, but he is a 20-year veteran. So he might be able to find the holes
Yeah to exploit the defense when you said that you've played a tough schedule
Where did the Broncos at home fall in that one? Hmm. Good question PFT and also the Patriots at home while you're talking about it. The Broncos were number two hardest. Broncos defense
is good. Yeah they are. They're the only team that blitzes more than the Vikings
I think. And that didn't go well. No it did not. Cadence. Patriots were humming
off two games. They won one, went to overtime with Seahawks. They were humming.
Yeah I would agree. That was a a humming humming Patriots that you faced
Titans will levis most electric player in sports. Yeah. Yeah, so you played the Titans the Patriots the Broncos
Yeah, he says tough schedule. He's meaning they've started the season with the 49ers. Yeah and
Robert Salah and
Nathaniel Hackett are your coaches. So that's just tough in general, too.
I just so I'm in a I'm in a tough spot with the Vikings because I do believe the Vikings are very good also
Memes, can you do me a favor and find on grit week? We did our
NFL futures and I believe I picked the Vikings over six and a half and Max laughed in my face. Can you 100%? Yep
Can you fight? Can you find that video wrong? I picked the Vikings under six and a half and then I laughed in my face
Okay, you left in my so can we find that video real quick?
I just want to watch that you can just find it and we'll put it up
Um, but anyway, I believe in the Viking I think they're very good team. I just in the back of my head
I'm like at some point they'll have a stinker and I don't want to be
involved when they do yeah you don't want to miss on and I don't know if it's
this week because this does feel like it's Vikings have been underdogs they've
been underdogs I think three out of the four games they've they've won outright
obviously three out of four or they've won all their games. They're now favorites The Jets look like shit's going on old quarterback tough knee
Everything says Vikings
That's why I might take the jet
So I kind of agree with that where it's the Vikings off a big win against the Packers
They dominated the first half but Grenard said that they're actually in film study. They're treating this as a loss
Oh, I love that just pretending that they lost last week to the Packers because the second half was so bad. I love that. So I
like that too. I but I do agree that if you're just looking at
trends and the Jets, after losing that that 10 nine game
at home to the Broncos, they can't look any worse than last
week. Everybody has a fresh memory of how bad the Jets were
everyone has a fresh memory of how good the Vikings were.
Right? This seems like the right time to flip it on everybody. Yeah, so that's that's what you got going for you right now memes the flip
Yeah, and historically with Bob's a lot teams
Lose to the Broncos in a horrible fashion one of the worst games of all time
Yeah, beat the best team in that if held next week the best team in the NFL. Are you crowning the Vikings? Yes chiefs not
No, oh, okay
The two with the three Super Bowls wasn't enough. No that was last year. Okay. All right. All right fair fair fair fair
Um, okay. This is a crazy stat. I came across so when Darnold is targeting Justin Jefferson
Under the blitz when they blitz Darnold
He's nine for nine
227 yards two touchdowns no picks and a perfect passer rating
Justin Jefferson is the best wide receiver in the league and it's not close. I agree
I know that not close is a stupid thing to say he has scored in every single game this year
He is so goddamn good that it's to me
It's not close right now thought experiment if Tyreek Hill
Was on the Vikings and Justin Jefferson was getting passes thrown to him by Snoop Huntley. Mm-hmm
Do you think we might be saying the same thing about Tyreek Hill? No, I think Justin Jefferson would still be scoring somehow
Okay, he's that good. He's that goddamn good. Ah
What are you gonna say memes? I?
Just sent the video. Oh, oh just play it on here. I'd like to watch it
um, I Can I trust tree real quick? Just sent the video. Oh, oh just play it on here. I'd like to watch it
I Can I trust tree real quick?
Because we're not right pretty much ever I
May have watched our Baker Mayfield Sam Darnold clip like a hundred times. It's so good to see right
So good to nail the fact that it's those two guys. Yeah, they're having these this year. It was just I
I need to stop because it's
like it's kind of fucking my head up where I'm like, do I know ball. So this is actually
the perfect case of the Jets versus the Vikings. We're high on ourselves because of our Sam
Darnold and Baker Mayfield take. So now is the exact time you should fade us. Correct.
We're reading our own press clippings, which are also reported by ourselves. Yeah, which you shouldn't do. Alright, so here's
the clip of Max dumb dumb max, saying that the Vikings are
gonna go under six and a half.
You literally just said about how wrong you Oh, you said under
six and a half. Yes. Where there's no audio. I know I'm
getting to the part. Oh, okay. Look at us. We're looking just
great. Yeah. We look great out there. Great Week to the part. Oh, okay. Look at us. We're looking chess great. Yeah, we look great out there
Gritweek's the best. I want to do grit week again soon. Maybe like next august. We got nice tans too. Yeah
Eagles under ten and a half. Good job pft. Oh, no, wait. I don't know what my pick was
I think I flipped mine. This is a problem. I don't know what my pick was
Here we go. They're unhappy with the coach already. Nothing's going to work out in DC.
It's nothing's going to work out in DC.
Nothing's going to work out in DC.
Nothing's going to work out in DC.
Nothing's going to work out in DC for the Eagles when we beat their ass.
Oh no.
All right. My pick for the under, don't clip that,
Indianapolis Colts. Oh, okay.
I actually think the AFC South is going to be pretty good this year.
Jaguars bounce back.
Oh.
It's going to be good.
The Eagles may be sneaky.
Yeah, sneaky.
Under 8 and 1 half wins for the Colts.
My prediction on the Seahawks is 7 and 1 half.
I don't think that's going to happen.
Oh, hey.
You say under?
Under.
Under 7.
Yeah, all of these picks suck.
Oh, the Eagles is pretty good.
It's fine.
6 and 1 half wins.
I think the division's going to be real. Wait, that's the line? Yeah. I love that over. These picks suck. The Eagles is pretty
You didn't count on Sam Darnett, I will say Darnold wasn't going to suck. So that was hit or miss. All of us had bad picks.
Listen, the cults started going too.
The cults started going too.
If we'd played this two weeks ago, I would look like a genius.
Actually, Hank's under seven and a half for Seahawks.
Yeah, that's bad pick.
That's right, we're bad.
Okay, let's go to the next game.
Ravens and Bengals. This one, I believe we can all
agree even though all of our teams are playing that one should be middle sound.
Yes, I love this one. So we always forget to remind ourselves that Lamar Jackson really
good against the NFC. We should also remind ourselves Lamar Jackson eight and one against
the Bengals. Yes, he kind of owns the Bengals. Did you
guys see the thought starter that was floating around the internet this week, which I thought was very interesting
That Derek Henry might be the last running back to go into the Hall of Fame
Which was like whoa is that true and then I started looking at it and it could be true. No, it's not true. Okay, so
Different thoughts so we'll say that's not true. Here's a different one that I want to throw out there.
Derek Henry is seven to 18 yards away from 10,000 yards.
He could be the last running back. We see get 10,000 yards, which is crazy.
Lamar Lamar Lamar is actually probably going to do it. But, uh,
the list Zeke is a thousand yards away. I don't know if Zeke has that much left.
I wouldn't say that Zeke's a hall of famer. Uh, Nick, no, this is to get 10,000 yards. Yeah. Nick Chubb is at 6,500 yards.
Obviously a bunch of injuries. He'd probably have to play three or four more years at peak
Nick Chubb. Uh, and then it goes to like Camara who's getting up there in age. Uh, Christian
McCaffrey who might, the walls might have him retired. Uh, Saquon like how many more years Saquon going to play
for. So if he plays four years and what does he he's he hasn't
gone over a thousand and five yards fifty six fifty right now.
So he'd have to get he'd have to go over a thousand yards for
those four years. Like it's kind of crazy to see the actual the
only answer that I'm looking at when I'm looking at all these
is possibly Jonathan Taylor because he's got he's halfway there. He's only 25 years old.
If he just stays like a bell cow for another five years, he could get there. But it's nuts
to look at and realize that Derek Henry when he gets to 10,000 yards, he'll be 30 second
all time. And we might not see a lot of 10,000 yards guys, you know, ever again. What about
Bichon? Bichon doesn't get know ever again. What about Bichon?
Bichon doesn't get enough runs. I know give Bichon the opportunity to get in the Hall of Fame
The the other crazy thing about Derek Henry is if he so he's 18 yards away from 10,000 yards
This is all just we should respect Derek Henry more because it might be though. It's the last of a dying breed
He's 18 yards away from 10,000
He's five touchdowns away from a. If he gets 10,000 yards
in 100 touchdowns, he'll only be the ninth guy ever in history to do it as a running back. And
all the other eight guys are in the Hall of Fame. So he's definitely going to be in the Hall of Fame
if he hits that. Barry Sanders finished with 99 touchdowns. Sean Alexander finished with 9,500
yards. I'm going to call my shot next running back after Henry into the hall of fame.
Gentie. Okay. From Boise state. You're going to go that far.
I'm going to go that far. Okay. He's that good. I like that. I like that.
No, I don't think he's going to be the last running back.
He benefited definitely from being in those Titans offenses for years,
which the game plan was just let Derek Henry eat and let him cook the entire time.
And you know what's the craziest part about Derek Henry? His first two years in the league
weren't like Derek Henry, Derek Henry. His first year in the league in 2016, he had 490
yards and his second year he had 744 yards. So if they had started using them then, it's
crazy though. is he's still
so fast it feels like the Ravens have figured out like hey we're not going to run the Titans
offense we're not going to run him you know 35 times a game but we can run him in an effective
way and this game comes down to me the Bengals defense is an atrocity right now a lot of it due
to injury.
Trey Hendrickson might be out again,
or he got injured, he might be out.
His defensive line is a mash unit right now.
They're gonna get guys back eventually,
but I just feel like the Ravens are gonna be able
to run the ball down their throat.
Joe Burrow's gonna be in this game
because the offense is not a concern,
but I think it's just a bad time to have to play the Ravens the Ravens also are according to Aaron Schatz
our friend recurring guest they are the second best team two and two team of all
time okay so two and two teams obviously there so they're basically way better
than their record says they are that's kind of what we said even when they were
yeah I look at the ravens back it up I looked at at the ravens right now as being a 2-0 team
Yeah, their season started week 3 are the Bengals one of the best one in three teams?
I think they might be yeah in the top 5%
I don't know if they would be because their defense is probably digging them pretty bad
It's pretty much that the Ravens have like statistically won all four of their games, but they lost two of them
Now this all did you see Jason Kelsey?
Said that stats are numbers, numbers
are nerds, nerds are for losers. Oh, I like that. Yeah, it's a good one. That's a good
way of explaining the entire equation. Yeah, he just see more dumbed it down. Yeah, well,
yeah, well, he more is dumbed down. He just said stats are for losers. But this shows
us the steps in that equation. Yeah, get there. Yeah, number a number has never won a Super
Bowl. No, think about it that way. I just I want to take the Bengals because
the spot and desperation and all of that. I just I'm I'm nervous their defense is just going to
get rolled over. Their run defense it's 31st in the league in run stop win rate. I don't know what
that that stat actually means but that tells me that their defense can't stop the run and that's
what the Ravens want to do. Also We should appreciate Calvin no more Calvin Noy
He's out there a FC defensive player of the month. Yeah, pretty wild, right?
AWL to AWL he I saw him at the Super Bowl six sacks. I keep doing what you're doing guys. Yeah. Yeah
This is gonna be a great game. I'm very excited for this game. I also think I'm gonna throw something out there
You guys ready for this?
Let's go on draft Kings real quick. I'm gonna throw something out there. You guys ready for this? Let's go on draft Kings real quick
I'm gonna look it up. This one might be crazy
But I'm just gonna say it and you guys can decide if if I'm stupid if this is if this is you know
idiotic thing to suggest
But right now where is he? Where is he? I'm looking for him Joe, bro
22 to 1 to win MVP.
That's kind of wild.
He did have that locked in look this week.
He was all in business at the press conference.
They would probably have to move.
Yeah, that's a donation.
They would...
Oh, okay.
All right.
Well then.
I forget I said anything.
In my opinion.
If the Bengals...
If the Bengals make the playoffs, it would probably be because Joe had his best season.
They probably would have to win the AFC North. That's the problem best season It would they probably would have to win the AFC North. That's the problem
Yeah, is they would probably have to win the AFC North
So you're right in that Hank that it would be a donation unless they win the AFC North
But I think they're off it like he's going to if their defense stays bad as it is
He's going to have to play a style of football that is gonna put up crazy numbers
They've got a couple hopes in this game. One is the fact that
Well, they're they are one and three but the Ravens that are two and two so they're only one game away from yeah
They're obviously two games back from the Steelers
Yes
This would be a big win for the Bengals Joe looked locked in and also if Lamar gets his hands on Skyline Chile before the game
Like that, but is not holding up. No, definitely not give it like a quarter Joe burrow so far is
978 yards seven touchdowns one interception pretty damn good start pretty damn good to start
so they have 67 points in the last two games the Bengals do and
They've got 36 plays gaining 10 yards or more
Which is the most of Bengals team has had in any two game stretch since Super Bowl season starting to see it Hank
Yeah, I guess it's so the thing that I'm struggling with is
I think the Ravens are gonna win this game if
You think the Bengals are gonna win this game
You should take 22 to 1 right now
Because they will go down if they win this game
Right like if the Bengals win this game and they're now two and three and they beat the Ravens
I would imagine Joe Burroughs MVP odds on draft Kings would be like 15 to 1. Yeah, they go up quite a bit, right?
So that would be the play. I'm gonna call it must win for the Bengals must win for the Bengals
Can't lose can't lose for the Ravens can't lose for the Ravens. Ah, what are you gonna say?
I was just looking at MVP odds. Did you take Jayden Daniels when I sent that the other day? No, I did not
It's gone. It was at 65 to 1 now. It's 25
Oh, I hate this whenever Max tries to just shoehorn in great Jaden Daniel stats in the podcast
I mean I all I tried to do is just tell it tell you to take the backs enough about Jaden
We know you love Jaden
we know you think about him all the time and you watch all his highlights and then you say crazy stuff about him with
microphones are off and
I'm sick of it Max from you. I mean that that's such a job after the game
I don't like hearing all these Jaden
stats. I don't like thinking about the Super Bowls with Jaden. My bad, my bad. Yeah. All
right. Well, let's talk about that game. Browns and Commanders. PFT. I was thinking this was
an easy bet on the Commanders, but something breaking news recently has made me switch
my opinion.
Is it the picture of Jaden Daniels that he did with Mike Vick?
It is not.
Because for me, I saw the Jersey exchange.
It was Jaden and Mike Vick signed each other's jerseys, held him up smiling.
That makes me think that Swagger from Cleveland is going to have something to
say about this game.
No. He's not going to like that.
Here's what made me change my opinion.
Mad Dog, your producer for macro dosing
Tweeted out an hour ago whoever stole my buffalo chicken wrap from the Chicago HQ fridge
I hope your football teams all lose this weekend and none of your bets hit now mad dog is a Browns fan
She is but she doesn't
This iteration of the Browns doesn't really do it for her. I'll put it that way.
She is a Browns fan though.
Yeah.
We have found the culprit.
The culprit is intern Jacob, who is a commander's fan.
I disavow.
That's tough.
I don't fact that they're playing each other.
And she said that.
Well, he's got, he has to take Brown's money line.
That's nuts that that just happened.
I'm going to be like, to have a theft in the office like that
Which is savage behavior and then have the two the teams
She's wishing that that person's teams lose all their games and it so happens that her team is going up against his team
Which is your team? That's bad vibes. I don't like it
I'm gonna make Jacob bet the Browns money line because she said I hope all your bets lose
Yeah, so the only way to combat this is to point that he misses that one. Good point. I disavowed Jacob Mad Dog. I will
buy you sandwiches for the rest of the week. No, no, I've already I've already given my
ruling. Jacob's buying her lunch all week next week. Okay, that's fine. That was that's
that's Friday. Yeah. Yeah, I was Yeah, I was including Saturday, Sunday. But yeah, she's
getting lunch all next week. Yeah. Okay. That makes
me feel bad. Also for taking the logic that we had with the Vikings and the Jets, this
would be the time to bet on the Browns, right? Yeah. Because the commanders can't look any
better than they have in the hook. The Browns sitting there worse. Yeah, I think I'd like
I think the commanders win this game, but I think there's a chance the Browns might
muck it up. The commanders have played not great defenses
The Browns are better than a not great defense
Nick Chubb is back
I don't know if you like the Browns are the worst vibe team in the NFL right now
Nick Chubb seems like an awesome dude when he came back to practice everyone was pumped, but he's not gonna play this weekend, right?
No, but just being three week window to activate them off the pup being back at practice. So like everyone's like what's up to four?
Oh, here comes Nick Chubb. That's gotta help. Uh, the Browns are such a bad vibes team. This tweet from Greg Rosenthal. I copied it because I was just like, holy shit. The Browns are spending more cash in 2024 than any team in the NFL. They're the league's second oldest team and they are dead last in total DVOA because of their number 32 ranked offense
That is as
most money
oldest
Dead last. Yeah, especially when you consider that their defense should be good
Yeah to be total DVOA in last place is it's terrible. It's very bad things
No, their offense is last in DVOA which brings their whole rating down. Yeah, that's what i'm saying
Like that's what's crazy is their defense is good enough where you think that no matter how bad that offense is
They'd still be you know, like middle of the pack or so overall
They've been very very tough to watch and you know how a couple weeks ago
I think it was after maybe after the Bucks game
I said I get defensive of the commanders like they're my baby where I can call them ugly
But then I get offended when other people say like oh your baby's ugly
You're not allowed to say that. I I've actually kind of reached
the other end of it where now you've got people going so far over the top praising the commanders
that I'm like, it's kind of weird how much you love my baby. Chill out, dude. Yeah. So
Damien woody this week already proclaimed Jane Daniels to be the best quarterback in
the NFC. Yeah. It's chill out, man. Chill out. Chill. Chill out. I get to think that I don't get to say it out
loud yet. But just know you've said it. I'm thinking it. I've
said I've actually said worse, way worse. But and you said you
said you would only trade them for Patrick Holmes on the air.
So that would mean that everyone in the NFC he's better than no
that's for like future. Yeah, but he's better than that. The
only quarterback you trade him for is an AFC that's for like future. Yeah. But that he's better than that. The only quarterback you trade him for is an AFC. That's taking into account the entire future. Like right
now, including the salary that we pay him, but you'd understand the duct of reasoning
that I do understand the deductive reasoning. However, um, I'm going to save w if we win
this weekend, I'm going to say some reckless shit. Okay. I'm going to say some go off very
reckless stuff, but it does feel like the time when the commanders are at their highest the Browns are at their lowest
So I am nervous going in this week
Can I throw out one other thing and this is I think it's different now because he's just the OC and not the head coach
But we did have a narrative the last few years where we would always just bet on Cliff Kingsbury in September and then start feeding
Yep, after October. He's not he has a very everyone figures about very bad record. I don't know if that's gonna be
the case. I don't think it is as a coordinator. I he's a he's a
guy that should just be a coordinator for life and be
like the best coordinate agreed. And he for whatever
reason, he develops great relationships with whoever his
quarterback is. They love him. I'm partly saying this just so
that no other team tries to hire him as a head coach. Yeah,
which some other team will definitely try to do it.
100%.
But yeah, I am, I'm not confident going in this weekend,
but I am excited because my days are better when I get to watch Jaden.
Yes. All right. Next game. Colts of Jaguars.
This week in Doug Peterson saying quotes that he doesn't realize are terrible to
say out loud that we all look at him and like, huh? He said on Wednesday, I, I have not lost the locker room. When you
have to say that. Yeah. So a reporter asked and he said, I would know. I talk to those
guys every day. I see them every day and no, I have not lost the locker room. I know exactly
where that locker room is. And there are
guys in there that I talk to all the time so I can't have lost them. Right. If you see me
wandering the halls then you know I've lost locker room. Maybe he hasn't maybe he's lost the front
office. Well no he and Shaad Khan have great football conversations before and after every
game this year. That's great so he's micromanaging. Yeah, I can I say something I think even though we have Joe
Flacco coming up and I love Joe Flacco, I think this might be
the get right spot for the Jaguars. So here's a fun stat.
The Colts have not won a road game against the Jaguars since
when? Any guesses? How long? How many years has it been? eight
years?
Longer 2014. Whoa, they have not they have not won in Jacksonville
since 2014. Also, Tom Coughlin this weekend is getting inducted into the Jags Ring of
Fame. Oh, I love that. Which that provides a big boost for the Jaguars. They're gonna
show up early for the game. Also, why the fuck isn't Tom Coughlin already in the Jaguars
Ring of Fame? I don't know. He should have been in there years ago
Yeah, they might have just opened it. That's true. Yeah, it feels like that's they just opened it
I I also think for this game specifically
In terms of slump busters for Trevor Lawrence Gus Bradley is the perfect one because Gus Bradley is
He's the he is probably the poster child the right place right time
He was with the Seahawks as their defensive coordinator right at the start of the legion of boom when all those guys got drafted
Then use that to get a head coaching job
Then he's been you know was terrible as a head coach and now he's been around everywhere
But like he those defenses with that talent everyone's like damn this guy can coach
Famously Jalen Ramsey said, Gus Bradley never changes anything.
He, week one, the plays that we're calling
are the same as week 17.
We don't change anything.
We don't adjust.
We just run our defense.
The Jaguars in the last four years
have scored 24, 27, 31, 37 against Gus Bradley's defense.
I think this is where Trevor Lawrence is like, hey,
I know what they're going to do.
I'm just going to get right.
Gus Bradley does not have a great record in Jacksonville either.
Yeah.
Overall, as a correct.
So I like as much as I love Joe Flacco again, I'm rooting for Joe.
I probably won't bet this game, but if I had to come to my head, I think I would go with
the Jaguars.
So I like the Jaguars too, just because you that's 10 years.
The Colts haven't won there in 10 years.
Last defeated team as well.
Yes, that's true.
The last defeated team as well. Yes, that's true the last defeated team
I like the Jags this weekend. Although I do think that Doug is going to be gone during the season
Yeah, I think he might be a midseason firing
I mean every single quote every he's doing he's basically writing the book for quotes that you don't want to hear
From a head coach where he's like, yeah, we've had productive talks with the owner. No speeches. No, no, no more speeches. No rah rah. Uh,
that's a weird question that you'd ask about my, my seat being warm.
Yeah. I haven't lost a locker room. I haven't lost a locker room. Uh, we,
we can call the plays,
but the players ultimately have to go out there and execute them.
I would love to just hand like a blind resume to Doug Peterson of these quotes
he said in the last three weeks. And he probably would look at it and say and say whoa that coach is in trouble. That guy's fired. He's like
Doug that's you. That guy's fired. That's you buddy. That's some Marvin Harrison or
not Marvin Lewis asked conversation that he had right before he went out. Yeah
it's yeah I think this is the weekend for the Jaguars. Love the Jaguars this
weekend even though I don't think that they're as bad as their record says. I
think that Trevor Lawrence played good enough last week where I can be like, I can see the
vision there.
I can see it happening.
He missed those.
That one miss was so bad though.
Yeah, that's true.
I had a drop in the end zone.
Yeah.
He, oh, he dropped one?
Uh, no, it's his player.
His player.
So I remember back, it was a Justin Fields rookie season, I think, and which was also
Trevor Lawrence's, right?
Correct. I said I would take Justin Fields rookie season, I think, and which was also Trevor Lawrence's, right? Correct. I said
I would take Justin Fields career over Trevor Lawrence.
Am I low-key right about that? Uh
Juries out because technically right now
I mean just like Justin field being on his second team would say that Trevor Lawrence still he just got paid a shit load of money
Yeah, he did get paid a lot in terms of money
Yeah, like if you're talking about
actual career, not just football career, but like his you know, how much money you get paid. It's
definitely Trevor Lawrence right now because he's the only one who got the new contract.
I'll say this. I'm not as wrong as many thought that I would agree with that. Yeah, that's
absolutely right. And I take that as a win. That's almost better than being right. Yeah. The, um, it is funny looking back right now, uh, at the 2021 draft. Obviously these guys still
got to play a lot, but the 2021 draft ready for this. Trevor Lawrence one, Zach Wilson, two,
Trey Lance three, Kyle Pitts, four. And then you get a great, a great list of guys. Jamar chase, Jalen waddle, Pene Sewell,
JC Horn, Patrick Stratan, Devante Smith, and then Justin Fields and Mack Jones at 15. There
are so many good players like Michael Parsons, Rashawn Slater in between Justin Fields and
Mack Jones. Yeah, it's basically just the quarterbacks man. Bad year to have to pick
a quarterback. Yeah. And you thought that it was a great year too at the time
Yeah, Hank
Do you think this makes it more or less likely that that bill Belichick coaches in Jacksonville if they're putting Tom Coughlin in the ring
of fame
Less likely likely. Yeah, he doesn't want to look up at that name all the time
All right, Bill's Texans another great game very excited for this game
How much weight are we putting behind the H-Town blue uniforms?
A pretty a pretty significant amount I think. I don't know if I love the helmets.
Have you seen them? I don't know the helmets. So these are the first time the Texans have
ever worn them. They're debuting their H-Town blues. Here it is. PFT. H-T each town blues That's kind of nice. They're nice, but I don't know I can't I just staring at these uniforms for the last three days
This is the extent of the analysis we do on this show exact uniforms that look awesome
If you win and they look like dog shit if you lose that I just don't know if I like the script H
Are you looking on Hank?
They just search each town blues. I don't know
looking at him Hank? I'm trying to find him. He just searched H town blues. I don't know. What happened if they just came out wearing the oilers uniforms? That would be sick. Unannounced
I bet him. I do actually think the bills are going to win this game. So they're not blue.
They are blue. They look black. They're H town blue. They're H town blue. They're H town
blue. I don't like these. I thought they were gonna be like the The old-school blue. Yeah
Do you think Stefan Diggs is the one guy?
If you're like he's got a revenge game that you don't want to bet on his team because he's gonna be like CJ shroud
You better throw it to me 25 times today
I was thinking their offense is just gonna be get the ball to Stefan Diggs as much as possible
Yeah, and he's gonna be really pissed
Yeah, the Bills so I think it's gonna be a great game. Both these teams I feel like are deep playoff run teams, but the Bills run defense got gashed against the Ravens.
Josh Allen did not have a good game. I think they get a bounce back and the Bills past defense has been good. So and that's what the Texans want to do. So I think I lean the Bills. Yeah, I think I like the Bills too. I think they're going to be able to run the ball also.
Yeah.
I think Joe Brady is just going to lean into Cook
and just be like, OK, we're going to take what we give you.
I think CJ is that game last week
that he had against Jacksonville in the second half,
the comeback.
That told me, OK, let's remember CJ Stroud. and Nico Collins. Just remember CJ Stroud. He's still
very, very good. CJ Stroud Nico Collins is a deadly deadly
combo. Is that the best quarterback wide receiver Sam
Donald Justin Jefferson Sam Donald Justin Jefferson I
forgot Sam Donald Joseph, maybe Aaron Rodgers Devante Adams.
Yeah, that might happen. Yeah, Joe, bro. Yeah, Jamar bro. Jamar chase is gonna be there
They're lighting it up. Okay
Next game Panthers at Bears
This is the next five games are gonna tell the story of the Bears season
I'm gonna I'm gonna Hank so you can hold me to this because I know that you love
Twisting the knife when I go on the roller coaster
love twisting the knife when I go on the roller coaster. The Bears next five games, if they go four and one, it's the off's. If they go three and two, it's maybe off's, but probably
not. But I'm, I'm, I'm right in that middle. Anything worse than three and two, it's on
to next year. Okay. They're holding myself to it. This is the start of the, of the soft
part of the schedule that they have to win
Because then they have a gauntlet to end the season. So they I they play the
The Panthers this week Jaguars commanders gonna be a tough game Cardinals Patriots. That's the next five games
I think you got three wins in there have to win three don't win three
It's on next year because then we start playing we play the all the division games six of them and then the only non-division
games are the Seahawks and the 49ers also you got a chance for a double win in
this game so if you beat the Panthers correct in the second round pick that
you get from the Panthers in the draft this year it gets better just like last
year yeah yeah I do love that Andy Dalton is like getting to you know it's
it like one of those situations where it's like, Oh, I wish that I could like be at my own funeral so I could see all the nice
things people say about me. I feel like Andy Dalton is like retiring while still playing
because some of his quotes are like looking back. He said this week that he didn't like
the red rifle nickname, but he grew to like it as years past. Feel a little bad about
that. The red rifle is a good nickname. He didn't like it. So he's like talking about it. It's almost like he's doing his retirement
speeches like in the media week to week. He's having an exit interview with the media. Yeah.
He's like, I didn't like it. I'm starting to grow on it. He also said that the Bears are
actually one of the three teams. So the three teams that he has not beaten in the NFL, he
played for all three, the Bears, the Cowboys and the Panthers. He he's never beaten those three teams how many times he played the Bears he's played
the Bears twice okay last time he probably wants to win this one just to
have that revenge game revenge game against the Bears although I feel like
the Bears didn't like treat him badly no it's not like this is the the Mike
Lennon situation yeah no he knew he was getting into it was Andy Alton Nick
Foles Mitch a little this little that, a little that, Carousel.
Yeah.
Do you think Deandre Swift is fixed?
We got to keep being mean to him.
So no.
Okay.
Not fixed yet.
Not fixed yet.
But yeah, must win.
Must win for the Bears.
Carolina's run defense is one of the worst in the NFL.
That's why I asked about Deandre Swift.
Because I feel like if you get Deandre Swift from last week, then things go a lot better
for you
I think I saw that shy Tuttle their nose tackle might be back
Which I just wanted to say his name because his name is awesome. Yeah, I totally good
But yeah must win for the Bears
I'm not going to waver on that if on Sunday night the Bears lose and we do this show
I'm gonna be very upset and be like you just blew a great opportunity to get above 500
I think you have this I think that we're all in love from the Panthers looking not as bad as they did look
Yeah, yeah, which was yeah, they basically did the what's what's the movie where the girl is like a nerd and then she's all that
She takes off the glasses. Yeah, that's what the Panthers did with any don't any don't sort this diaries princess diaries the taming of the shrew
Who was that Anne Hathaway?
I was like Dan Hathaway. I hated her really well, then I started to like her when I saw her wearing a Danny Woodhead jersey
She did. Yeah. Yeah, she's big Danny Woodhead fan. Shout out Danny Woodhead. He qualified for the four ball. Oh
Really? Did that what what is that? I know he is always trying to play in the like the
Is that what it what is that? I know he is always trying to play in the like the
us open Qualifiers and stuff. He's gotten close qualified for I believe for the four ball in New Jersey the four ball at one
golf I think it's like a
It's like a I don't know what he did
For ball tournament. It's like the four ball USGA thing. I don't know. Go to his. Yeah,
there it is. Ticket punched. So thankful we're able to get through to the USGA four ball
where we will play in Jersey. Can't wait to go back to where we lived two years to complete.
Thank God allowed Willie and I to pull through. Thanks to Paul and Kobe for the looping. Love
that. Yeah, let's go Danny. Yeah. Oh, but yeah, in half the way. I just thought she
was annoying. Yeah. Okay. I just thought she was annoying
Yeah, okay. I just thought she was very annoying. That's fine. We all have those people. Yeah, why do you have that tweet up max?
Meme sent me that was just a lot of
Pnv
Pnv tweet yeah
It's fine. All right next game
Dolphins and Patriots. Oh my god, this game stinks
more snoop, baby Hank, this is
Gross David Andrews you had already had a bad offensive line David Andrews out for the season sucks
I feel like he might be done too. Yeah might be done
Legend what do you great career? I mean this game Hank. Hope it's not Jalen Phillips also out
What was the record for punts?
You calling it
We have no offensive line
We didn't have one before now. We lost like the captain of our team and offensive line center
So it's a 35 is it still 35 and a half points for the over-under
I believe so the Dolphins haven't won a road game straight up with a backup quarterback since Matt Moore in 2016
And they've had a lot of chances yikes
Their backup quarterbacks that have started in that span are Skyler Thompson Teddy Bridgewater
Jacobi reset Josh Rosen Brock Osweiler Matt Moore and Tyler Huntly
and Teddy Bridgewater Jacoby said Josh Rosen Brock Osweiler Matt Moore and Tyler Huntley that a lot of backups Mike McDaniel also looks like he he is he is depressed he looks like
a like a scientist in a movie that stayed up until 3am for the last three nights trying
to find an equation that just chemistry reaction that just won't happen for him can I also
say that I've been laughing a little bit about the memes that have been going around about Mike McDaniel's and
Mike McDaniel and Tua have you guys seen some of them? No
there was one where they were it looked like a make-a-wish thing where they were
Doing a wheelchair out to a kid in a football uniform to like take a snap in a game
And it was like Mike McDaniel bringing out to a please do this because he can't play Tyler
I'm waiting more for me. There's Skyler Thompson
Yeah, poor taste poor taste everyone who's doing that but so many of those that you see
So this is it's tied with the Raiders Broncos for being the lowest over under the year. I
Feel like it's gonna go way under 35 and a half nine to three. This is a tough game. The only thing is
Huntley might be able to run with the ball on broken plays because the Patriots defense not always great against that
Would you be excited if they all of a sudden were like Drake may know okay? You don't want to see Drake
It doesn't matter who our quarterback is they're gonna have no time to throw right mm-hmm and it the injury risk is obviously high
Right, but didn't want to see him get his
feet wet? No. Okay. Are you gonna watch this game? If it's on in the game? There's only
six games. Okay. So unfortunately, yeah, I will. It will be on a big TV. Give me your
what's your reaction going to be if you win? I'll be excited. Yeah, because fucking we
work with the Dolphins and Nicky smokes are so annoying so annoying It'll be great to rub it in his face. Yeah
I'm gonna I think what I'm gonna do for this game is I'm gonna flip a coin right before the game and I'm just gonna
Bet it whichever side it goes. I'm gonna bet the over and I love that. I love that
I might do I might do that with you. Fuck it. You know what I might do
I might do it will be over in the first quarter
I might do the live unders as they keep getting lower and lower. Yeah, we'll see how 17 Yeah yeah, how low I can go with it by the fourth quarter. Hey, let's bet this over. Yeah, fuck it
It's so low. Oh, you want the path to get there pick six even still running
return for a touchdown pick six from regular touchdown safety three field goals and
another touchdown shit I feel like you need two defensive scores in this game
that's a lot yeah it's a lot. It can happen. Maybe we just bet that. Okay. Raiders Broncos afternoon slate. No Devante Adams. He's obviously said he was going to the news broke this week. He's open to a trade. It's also very interesting because how his contract works is I think you can basically cut him for free after this year and if you trade for him
Every single week he gets paid close to a million dollars things like nine hundred thousand dollars
So it kind of makes sense
For a team that wants to trade for him to wait a couple weeks
Because this is just the Raiders are paying it if you trade for him in three weeks you save three million dollars the price is going
down
What you have to pay for.
Would you trade Devontae Adams in the division? No. Would you trade him to the Chiefs? No. But
counterpoint the Raiders are probably what three years out from contending? I still think you would
you would you can't do it. And by the time those three years goes by if it was 35? If it was the
best offer? Yeah the best offer. Yeah, the best offer.
Let's just say they all second round pick. Everybody else is offering like a
third and a fifth. Yeah, I think you'd have to maybe a first rounder first
would never do that. But yeah, you'd have to do it. You'd have to listen to
him. I'll tell you this. Al Davis would never do this. Never, never. But if you
just blow him away with an offer, I feel like you have to listen to him. Antonio Pierce is under a show cause now.
That ruling just came down.
So from college football.
Oh, from Arizona State.
From Arizona State.
Allegedly, he took a recruit's parents out to a strip club.
Is that wrong?
Love that.
Is that wrong?
No, that's vibes.
Why are you not allowed to do that?
I'm assuming they're above the age of 18.
Yeah.
I think physically they have to be.
Correct. So it's just guys being dudes
What's wrong with that? No problem
Is there a difference between taking them out for lunch and then going to a place that has lunch and also entertainment?
No, I don't think there is either. No, I think that's fucked up
Uh, I think I hate this game because I feel like the Broncos are gonna win, but they're gonna win by two
I like the Raiders. So they're 8-0 against
Denver in Las Vegas. Yes. No, they're they're playing in Denver. Yes, they're 8-0 against Denver
since they left Oakland. Sorry, since they became the Las Vegas Raiders. Yeah, they're okay. Yeah,
yeah, I see what you're saying. Yes. But that's that's in both places. They've won eight straight
against the the Broncos. Correct. I think they've won ten out of eleven as well. Yes, it's kind of located. They own them right now
But the the Broncos look so shitty last week
but their defense man their defense is good and I think like when you have Devante Adams out and then you have a
Locked down corner back one of the best in the league Patrick Ch. Now going up against their second option, everything gets easier.
I just don't know how you move the ball against this Broncos
defense. If you want to say hey, how do the Broncos move the
ball period? That's a fair counterpoint. Yeah. But I just
I think the Broncos defense is going to win this game. Do we
have Max back? Is Crosby playing? I believe he's gonna
try to play. I like that. I also know Denver Blitz is a shitload. Gardner meets you pretty good against the Blitz. Yeah. So this is another game that's tough. It's tough week, tough week, tough week as our good friend Ben Mintz says, no bet. The linemakers made it right. Sometimes the best bet is not making a bet. Yeah. All right. Cardinals at 49ers. you want to I actually don't know if this
is you want to feel old but TO's son was signed to the practice squad of the 49ers
this week yeah I feel old I don't know it feels kind of old yeah but TO is also a
guy that I feel like could play football yeah yeah Tariq Owens is signed to the
practice squad they're getting all the sons huh? Yeah, they got them all.
I kind of want to take the Cardinals.
So Brock Purdy is 3-0 against Arizona.
Arizona's lost four straight to the Niners.
Alright, here's a stat for you.
I got two stats for you.
Teams to lose by 17 plus points
versus teams who won by a 17 point margin
the previous week are 60% in the last 20
years. Teams to lose by 28 plus points the previous week and our dogs of four plus points in their next
game are 62%. So this might line up with our theory that the the Cardinals are just saying
saving all their good plays for divisional opponents. I'm just saying there's you just over
like it's the
overreact game. Just come back in the middle. Just come right back in the middle. That was from
pet labs. Yeah, Marvin Harrison Jr. He was good in divisional games. So that might be their
formulas. Like let's save this guy and only go to him in the games that really, really matter.
Really, really matter. And this one really, really matters. matters yeah but the 49ers offense been really good Fred Warner has an ankle he's got to yep but he has an ankle he's got an ankle Christian
McCaffrey not back this week he has two Achilles to it well he's got one that's worse than the other
yeah he does have two Achilles his two legs that might we don't know if they can we see a video of
him walking is he at the game is he going to this game that would be funny if they if the 49ers were like hey Germany no the 49ers
were like hey we wanted Christian McCaffrey on his birthday to come out and see the fly
over and it was just Jimmy Carter yeah yeah this is what he looks like Jimmy I he might
actually be dead yo yeah oh yeah sad and it sucks because he would have been a talk to a fan for sure
100% he looked like he was getting that hock to a yeah
Yeah, mouth open. Yes, supply you they can't you don't bring them out. Don't get cameras around
Don't get cameras around the guys a hundred years old living to I
Of the mindset that anything over 90 all all all jokes are off
Like you can joke about anything because you lived an incredible
life, but still
Don't bring them out. Yeah, we didn't need to see that the flyover who falls asleep during a flyover
Well, I think they had to do a flyover because that's the only direction you can look it's so hard
It's so hard to do it. They could have done like a marching band
You wouldn't be able to see it
Can you imagine falling asleep and you've got jets just breaking the sound barrier
over your face?
Well, he's never awake.
That's true.
Hank is Christian still in Germany?
I don't know.
I don't believe so.
Okay. So I think it was back.
It was back and forth.
I would like to see him at this game.
Cause he might not be alive actually.
We haven't seen him.
I'd like to see him as well.
Same.
Okay.
Wrapping up, we got a few more games.
Packers at Rams. I think this is the Packers like look like one of the best teams in the NFL game. Unfortunately, the Rams still very, very injured. They're very injured. Not very good. Jordan love should be better this week. Yeah. And I just, I don't know what the Rams just Yeah, they need they need some guys back. I think this is a major. It's a teacher pupil game. Right? Yeah. And I just, I don't know what the Rams just, yeah, they need some guys back. I think this is a major, it's a teacher-pupil game.
Right?
Yeah.
And I feel like sometimes the pupil has to go out there
and he's prepared for a kitchen sink.
He knows what's in McVeigh's sink.
Yep.
He's seen that sink.
He's reloaded it.
He's cleaned that sink out.
His job working under McVeigh was probably do the dishes.
Yeah.
Like, come on, bitch.
I like the Packers in this game, too.
Yeah. Rams, yeah, let bitch. I like to package this game too. Yeah
Rams yeah, let me look up the rins injury report It's probably just still a mess an absolute mess cuz Cooper Cup. Although Cooper Cup they said that he's getting closer. Maybe I don't know
Yeah, they just keep losing guys
They have a couple guys who open up their 21 practice day window
By the way, I forgot to mention this at the beginning.
Remember TJ Hockinson?
Yeah.
Yeah, his practice window opened.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
Good.
So the Vikings are going to be even better.
They're going to get better.
Yeah.
The Packers do have an issue.
They got a kicker problem.
Big time.
They've got a kicker problem.
So around the league, kickers have made a higher field goal percentage on kicks over
50 yards. that's 75% it's a higher percentage than Braden Narveson. Braden
Narveson has made on all of his kicks okay he's at 69.2 he hasn't tried one
from beyond 50 yards and he's the only kicker to miss a field goal from inside
40 yards this season yeah so they got a kicking issue they got a kicking issue I
don't think it's gonna matter this week but they do have a kicking issue. They got a kicking issue I don't think it's gonna matter this week, but they do have a kicking issue
In that one put a big pin in it. All right Giants at Seahawks
I want to take the Giants so bad, but if Malik neighbors doesn't play I don't know how they move the ball
What's the point of watching a Giants game if you're a Giants fan if Malik neighbors isn't out there zero is there?
I don't think that there's a point to it zero point. There is zero point I don't I the Seahawks like this is this should be
they played a crazy Monday night game a lot of snaps all this shit you should
want to take the Giants but if you if you watch this game and Malik neighbors
and on the field what is what are they gonna do yeah and the Seahawks have been
pretty good against everybody except for that game against Detroit
Yeah, there are defense is hurt. Yeah. Yeah
Daniel Jones fun stat for him on deep passes. I'm talking like 20 plus yards downfield
Okay, I like what you're talking about. He's thrown 13 passes this year. How many of them do you think he's completed?
13 deep passes over 20 yards
How many of them do you think he's completed 13 deep passes over 20 yards?
10 to 10 he's completed to pass over 20 yards so close
And he's got one pick on those two so
16.5 passer rating when he's going downfield damn. I was right there. You were right there. I was right there
It was only eight off and the when the whole total was 13el is looking good though. Again, every time I talk about the Giants, I have to mention how good Brian Dable looks. He
looks good. Real good skin too skinny. All right, last game
Cowboys and Steelers. Great, great color matchup. Love love
when these two teams just feels like football. Feel like we
might get a double renegade on a Sunday night against the
Cowboys. Cowboys are hurt. Michael Parsons is not going to play right.
I don't think he's going to play.
DeMarcus Lawrence not going to play right.
I don't think he's going to play. But again, we're taping this early Thursday.
Yeah, sure. Now, big cat, I have a question for you.
Yeah, this is earlier posed, I think by Chris Canty.
Do you think the Cowboys should start tanking?
For what? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Do you know what what
the date is currently? Do you know how many games of football we've played? Do you know
what their record is? I feels like it might be early to start the tanking conversation.
The only team that I could say confidently that should tank as of right now is Miami
Dolphins. Yeah, I think that's the only team I would say you should tank
because you're going to need a sit. You're going to like if you get the first pick and
you have your roster like oh you put in Chideur Sanders or Carson Beck or someone who you
want to draft because to a you can't you can't say that he's going to go through a whole
season so that'd be the only team maybe after this week, we add some more Panthers, but Panthers, Andy Dalton's like trying. It's but the perfect
thing for the Panthers is losing games where you score like 30 points. Yeah. All right.
So Panthers and Dolphins and then we'll we should update the tank list as we go along.
It's like the Jaguars lose again, they should start tanking. Yeah, here's why I don't want
the Cowboys to tank because if they start tanking that means that the Cowboys
Won't make the playoffs and losing the first round again, right? We need to see that like Chris Canty
What are you putting out there into the universe?
If anything we should hope that the Cowboys all their momentum changes entirely
Yeah, I want to see them get their hopes up a little bit
I'm really Jerry landing the helicopter of practice so funny. That was awesome. So Jerry Jones flew into Cowboys practice on the helicopter and landed it right next
to the door to go inside the office. Like he had the helicopter fly to the corner
real close to the building when it landed just so that Jerry could get out
and walk right into the facility. Yeah. That's a fucking awesome move. Did you
all see Michael Parsons quote where it's basically is it star?
NFL player getting injured for the first time or
Like 27 year olds getting their first violent hangover. He said
He was humbled by his ankle injury. I figured myself invincible for a while. Yeah, that's hey, we know man
I'm human just everyone's been there literally everyone's been there
Yeah, he hadn't missed a game of football in his entire career, right? Yeah, that's kind of crazy. It is crazy
So yeah, he probably won't play
And I think Trayvon digs and Ezek were limited in practice and I think to Marcus Lawrence won't play either
So I I like the Steelers. I think they're run the ball there. They've got a couple guys missing on defense though
Yeah
But I just think they got humbled a little bit by the Colts
Everyone was throwing accolades at their defense and now they're gonna get a Mike Tomlin double renegade Sunday night
terrible towels
Justin Fields narrative goes I
Like it. Ah
Yeah, Justin Fields. I actually do think that he might be the starter. I think
that Tomlin's you know he's talking about all the words that he's had with his players
behind the scenes that he won't share. Yeah. I think one of those things in the hot dog
is he's told Justin Fields he's a starter. Well it's also the I think Russ's agent is
just part of his contract was the Adam Schefter has to tweet every single week an update about
Russell Wilson. So what's the later one. What's the update on it was that he's he's uh, what was it?
Let me find it because it's essentially the same tweet every single week that makes me think someone's making him do that
Because we don't need updates on Russell. Well, I like I promise you not even from the ultimate insider
We don't care about Russell Wilson updates. Justin Fields is better than Russell Wilson
We don't we don't need it Steelers are prepared this from
October 1st
Suzer preparing for Justin Fields to start versus Cowboys as Russell Wilson ups his activity. Don't care, dude
He's getting more act. We knew we knew Justin Fields is playing in this game
I want to see Russell on the sideline though thinking he might play. Yes, sir
DeMarcus Lawrence was on is on the injured reserve. So he's definitely out. Four
weeks. But yeah, I don't know why they keep telling us. Like it's going to be week 16.
The Steelers are going to have, they're going to be an 11 win team and Adam Schaefs is going
to tweet update on Russell Wilson. He feels like he's almost ready to come back, but Justin
Fields will start again. Justin Fields right now has momentum with the offense
So they're waiting for Russell to be a hundred and ten percent
I better not come back and take this job. I think Tomlin has made Justin Fields the secret starting quarterback
I agree with Pittsburgh Steelers. I agree with you. Okay, let's do before we do fantasy lab boys

Yeah, one one see one go through I'm going to go with James Connor James Connor against the Niners
You don't like that. No, I thought you're gonna take my pick. Oh Hank a different James Hank
We're gonna win this week guest based off of that
basic James Swinson cook correct James cook okay like that five he is playing the Texans
James Connor James Cook Derek Henry we're keeping on the ground this running backs are
back owed to the running backs that's gonna be plus 520. Let's win this one. Yep. Should we change one out so that we can get those odds up?

No, no, no, get one through the hoop.
DK's gonna score.
Get one through the hoop.
How upset would you be if you changed it and then.
Yes, yes, yes.
But now that he said DK.
I'm gonna be upset DK scores
And then James Connor doesn't be no it'd be Derek Henry that we take out
Let's see what DK is real quick. It would be Derek Henry that we take out to
Bump it up fuck
No, we can't we got to get one through the hoop we hit this we're put would you trade it out with James Connor?
I think we could do that. I think I would because that way
That way we have one in the late game. I mean DK is only plus 120. And what's
Connor? He's a plus 100 so probably would change but if you want to do it PFT just
say it's no let's stick with running back stay on the ground. It would be your if
you want to do it. Ground boys. It would be yeah it would change. Ground and pound.
Ground and pound. Let's play some fucking man football. All right, let's do our picks

Hammers and nails peanuts and hammers in the house
That was great. Yeah, I had a lot of fun doing that was the best
Lot of fun doing that out of times that mean we're just gonna cut the music every time you guys sing your own song
Yeah, do it. Yeah, and then it goes back
cut the music every time you guys sing your own song yeah and then it goes back at one point I was I was doing such a heavy British accent I think I just spat
all over the mic that was a lot of food that huck to a memes is on fire memes is
on fire your defense is terrified seriously what would it take to get some
some good song chance going in American football?
We just can't do it. We can't do it.
I think we're all too drunk, which is kind of like up your...
We're drunker than them?
We're drunker than them. No chance.
You're not allowed to drink in the stands at EPL games.
But they get fucking... a lot of the chanting happens on the way to the game when they're just hammered.
Yeah.
We need some songs.
Like what? Renegade? Renegade.
Fly Eagles Fly.
Oh, the Bengals.
Yeah.
The Bengals do a song too.
They have a song.
It's kind of like their version of Renegade.
I think they do Wayward Son in between the third and fourth.
Oh, that rocks.
Hail to the commander.
Do they do that?
Our words.
Hail, victory.
Yeah, we score a touchdown.
Yeah, what, see.
Yeah, we do songs they just don't, they're just not as fun. But It Comes, Goes is the best song ever. Yeah, what the scene we do songs. They just don't they're just not as good song ever
Yeah, I know but like it's more like the made-up songs that you like put your best player in
Mm-hmm. Those are the songs
Go Cubs go. I guess we do that for boomers. Yeah, we do but I just

Like I know what I'm doing. These, I can beat these guys. Like this is just, this is old
school Joe Flacco. Oh man. I think you try to talk yourself into that. Um, but there's
always that piece of you when you have to get in as a backup, that's, you know, a little
bit more nervous than you normally are to have to go out there and do it. Um, you know,
when you go out there in a normal game, you go out there and you
either received the kickoff or, you know, you're getting it in a couple of minutes.
You go out there, you get your first play over with, but this is a little bit
different. It definitely took me a little bit of time to settle in.
Yeah.
Did you have to get warmed up?
Like how long does that take your body to get warmed up?
Cause for me, when I wake up in the morning, it's like two hours.
I think the shot of adrenaline that you get is kind of unexplainable
Yeah, I was on the sideline. I didn't throw any I didn't do any warm-up throws
Just went out there and your body your body gets put into that mode pretty quickly when when you get hit with that little
Jolda energy. Yeah, and like big cat said going up against the Steelers
You've done that before was was Big Ben in the building. Was he there? Big Ben? Big Ben was in the building. You know, I was I was at my locker and Sam
or other quarterback, you know, mentioned that he saw Big Ben in Pat's box. I'm getting
poured on right now. I don't know if you guys can hear that. No, we're good. All right.
Good. He mentioned that Big Ben was in his his box So we come out of the tunnel right where his box was and I look over and I see him over there
So I actually went up and said and said what's up now?
I don't know Ben that well
But I think when you have when you've played against somebody that much you just have like a little bit of a natural connection
So it was really cool to see him
I think it probably did bring me back to 10 years ago when we were playing those guys.
It made it a little bit more familiar, I think for whatever reason. Yeah. And you also, a cool part
of your win on Sunday is you got a hundred thousand dollars. So in your contract, it's, if you play
50% snaps or more in a win. Yeah. So was there,
my wife actually just asked me about that with a smile on her face.
Did you happen to hit any incentives? And I'm like, listen, I have no idea.
I don't have a, I don't have a copy of it. And I can't remember what, what we actually agreed to. So there you go. I appreciate you telling me.
Yeah. So, so I guess that answers my question that you weren't,
cause I mean, a hundred thousand dollars is not chump change.
If you're sitting there on the sideline, it's the end of the game. You're like,
all right, we got to win this game. Cause I'm done with snaps.
Get me that a hundred thousand.
That's right, man. Hey, listen, a hundred thousand dollars is a hundred thousand
dollars. I mean, geez, like growing up, go make a hundred thousand dollars.
That's a big deal. So anytime you get something like that, uh,
you can't take that for granted.
Is that weird that we know more about how much you get paid than you know?
I don't think so.
I think that's kind of just the nature of the beast when you get to professional sports.
It's a focus for the athlete while you're doing it and while you're doing that negotiation,
but it's really never about that.
You're just trying to make sure that you get the most
that you can while you can, because you understand
that you kind of have to do that.
But then once you, like we're really all doing this
because it's the best job in the world
and we love to do it.
I think there's, like I said, during negotiations
and a couple other times, there's probably times
where that comes into play, but once it's done,
it's kind of like out of
sight out of mind and you just go play it. Yeah yeah yeah it was very very cool
to watch you out there I know you're too nice of a guy you won't say it so we'll
say it. Big Cat the Browns are morons. Yeah the Browns are morons I didn't know
this till what it was yesterday or something yeah so the Browns didn't even
offer you a contract in the offseason. You gotta keep Flacco in the building.
Well, listen guys, it's a business, you know.
You never know what to expect.
You know, and listen, I said it last year when I was playing.
I mean, I was in a really good headspace and just was able to be super grateful for that experience.
really good headspace and just was able to be super grateful for that experience.
Uh, Cleveland gave me so much. The fact that they were the team that was willing to bring me in last year.
Um, you know, I don't have any ill, ill, ill feelings towards them.
I mean, I'll, I'll forever be grateful to be honest with you because I, I,
without them signing me, I mean, I'm not, you know, I'm not here this year.
You can go back to New York in the same way. Like I would not say I had a very
enjoyable experience while I was in New York, but they were willing to sign me after I got
surgery that fused my neck and they kept signing me. I was there for three years.
Without them. I mean, you have to look at it this way,
if you're me, without them giving me those opportunities, even if they didn't amount to
anything, they amounted to me ultimately being in the league that much longer and ended up getting
a chance like I did last year. And now I'm here this year because of that same thing. So listen,
I think there's probably a time where you want to let those negative thoughts creep
into your head and get mad at everybody in the world.
But I think I've been through that.
I think when I was younger, I probably had a little bit of that, a little bit more of
that in me.
But I've, I've tried to let those things go.
Listen, Cleveland was unbelievable.
The people there, everything about it was unbelievable.
Yeah.
I mean, you're a bit, you're a really nice guy.
I would say you don't know what to expect.
I would expect the team that I took to the playoffs to want to resign me
So we'll say that part for you. We got you. We got your back. So
Don't know how it worked for you. I assume that you talked to a couple different teams not just the Colts
Would that be fair? You know what my agents thought that there would be a couple different teams interested
Cleveland being one of them, but the
nature of it was that when it came down to it, there really wasn't. And to be honest with you, I kind of had the same
mindset as I did last year. If I didn't have an opportunity that I felt really good about, I was at the point where I
was willing to sit at home and do the same thing I did last year, but you never know if that's going
to happen. If it wasn't for the Colts being that one team, I don't know, you know, maybe a couple other teams I would
have said yes to as well. But just the getting, being able to get back into an offensive room with Shane Steichen, just
the little bit of time that I was with him in Philly, I just felt like he was really good at what he
was doing, at what he did.
And he was going to put the quarterback and the offense and the team in a good
situation.
So I felt like this was one of those teams that I didn't have to wait around
and sign with that I felt comfortable going to.
And if I did on the off chance have to go in there and play, it'd be a good situation
for me. So yeah, cool. So, uh, have you thought about how long you can play for? Because I
want you to play for, I want you to be like 45. I want you, we need Joe Flacco in the
league. We can't lose you. I don't care if it's backup on every team, but having you
in the league makes the league more fun. Yeah. I don't, I don't know why that is, but I appreciate it.
Yeah. It's something about your spiral. Yeah. It's a nice spiral.
You almost hit the roof last week. It was awesome.
I'm having a lot of fun. Um, my family's having a lot of fun with it. Um, listen, I want to play
as long as I possibly can. Um, at some point my are, like, I don't care about missing a few things here or there
right now with my kids.
And to be honest with you, there's no real, there's no real better schedule than being
a professional football player.
I mean, you're with your kids way more than anybody that works a normal job gets to be
with them.
But there's going to be a, there's going to be, there's going to come a point if I'm
fortunate enough to still be playing when they, when they get ready to play some high school football I'm probably gonna want to be around to see
them play some high school football. So I mean at 45 they'd be in high school I'd love
to say I'd still be playing at that point but you know the situation might have to be
exactly right you never know. I want to keep happening though I want I want
Big Ben to be like you know getting wheeled in on a rascal dude watching you
Yeah, Ben Ben was thinking I was a little crazy when I went up and said hi to him
You can see it in his eyes
Like what are you still doing?
You know and I was I was I was talking to Pat yesterday and I said listen
I think that he was initially that was his initial thought
But when I got in there and all of a sudden I started to play, I had to bring back a few memories and I, I'd be willing
to bet that he had a few feelings inside. Like, okay, let me, let me throw some pads
on and get out there. You know? Yeah. I would not be shocked if Ben just showed up to the
sealers facility on Monday morning. He was like, I'm ready. I'm ready to give it another
shot. Key card still works. Wait, so you, you mentioned age. You had a great line after
the game that you're eight days older than Anthony Richardson's mom. What? So when did you find that out? Did
he bring that up first? Because that is kind of like crazy to be in a locker room with
a guy that could be your son. Yeah, it's, it's, it's pretty crazy. Um, that's the point
on that. Uh, well we probably talked about it at some point and then we were both at
our lockers, which are right next to each other one day. And he asked me, Hey, we probably talked about it at some point and then we were both at our lockers,
which are right next to each other one day.
And he asked me, Hey, when's your birthday?
I said, I didn't know what, I didn't know what he was getting at.
I said, January.
And he said, January, what I said, 16th.
He said, and then that's when he told me my mom's January eight and he was like 1985,
right?
And I'm like, yeah, that's it.
And man, like, I, I think that's just incredible.
So obviously I go around and I tell everybody
I possibly can.
Wait, I didn't realize you were. Yeah. He's almost birthday. Yeah. Your birthday month.
We're January 85 as well. We could be in the NFL still. My son could be Anthony Richardson.
Why do we hang up our cleats? I still feel good. Yeah. I could get out there. This shoulder's got a few reps in it.
Are you going to do what we're doing?
Because our big four-ohs coming up, are you going to get in the best shape of your life?
That's what our plan is.
You guys sound like guys that haven't been, like you're going to be signing up for a triathlon
all of a sudden because you haven't had competition in the last 20 years.
You got to do all this crazy shit that nobody ever actually wants to do
Yeah, I hope I hope I'm never at that point. That is not me
I'm cool with just going and working out with my trainer and you know feeling like I'm doing a good job and staying in shape
I got a dude if you don't if you don't keep up with it like by the time you hit 40
It's hard to get out of that that that little rut that you're in so I listen good good luck
I don't I think you're gonna have to in my experience
I think you're gonna have to stick with it for like a good solid month
And then you'll feel really good about yourself, but it'll be easy from that point on I like how you're like hey
Yeah, you guys got to stick with it. You're in the NFL. Yeah. Yeah, yeah
Like whatever shape you're in when you turn 40, that's the shape that you're in for the rest of your life
Yeah, that's probably not you know, if you've made it to 40 and you're in pretty decent shape
You know you look around I mean a lot of your friends that are in like when you hit 30 years old
You know, it's it's just gone to hell, you know
So if you've made it to 40 then I would say that you have pretty good discipline and you've probably you're probably gonna do a pretty
Good job. I hope so good discipline and you're probably going to do a pretty good job.
I hope so.
I hope you're right.
So Joe, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but there are a lot of Colts fans with Joe
Flacco jerseys.
They went out there and bought them right when you signed with the team.
We did a giveaway because we're season ticket holders and we gave away two tickets to fans
that had Flacco jerseys and we got like six or seven submissions, which is, that's kind
of crazy.
They must've just gone out and bought that like right when you signed.
Yeah, listen, that's cool.
I mean, I don't think those things are just readily available.
So you have to kind of special order them, I'm sure.
Listen, my son's one of them.
At least one of my kids are one of those purchases.
Every freaking place I go to, it's like I get off the phone and one minute later we
have to have like all of the gear in the world from that team.
So I'd like to think that there's more than just family members that bought some, but
it might just be all family members.
Yeah.
So how do you like playing with the Colts?
Are you familiar with any of the historical things or fascinating things, unique things
about that franchise or the fan base?
Well, listen, I may be.
I mean, look, I came from Baltimore. I mean, the cult started in
Baltimore. So when you play with the Ravens, I mean, they do do a good job of honoring
the Baltimore cult legends. And there are a lot of those guys that were still around
the building. I mean, Lenny Moore was in the building every week, you know, so I think
just naturally from being there, it's kind of a unique situation. You do get a little bit of that history and it's kind
of weird that I've kind of come full circle with this thing. I've said it to somebody
before but I've played in Baltimore who came from Cleveland, just played in Cleveland and
now I'm playing an Indy who came from Baltimore. So it's kind of like that little, I've completed
the little triangle there of all the Baltimore of all those little teams
Yeah, Joe Flacco triangle that is fascinating
But I was speaking more specifically about that. This is our Colts theme song that gets put out every week
Have you had a chance to listen now? You got?
The fuck up Joe here. I'll find it
You also have to learn about you might have a word of mr.
Earth say about this because every week he decides whether or not the roof is going to
be open or closed. Yeah, you were drafted in that division at the beginning because you
had the arm that could play outdoors. Tell Jim, Hey man, leave the roof open. This arm's
got a few reps in it. Yeah. You're still pretty much indoors. We can open up the roof and
still feel pretty good about where we're at. Um, all right. I'm going to find this for
you because this guy, Seth, he does a great job. He'll be pumped. He'll be pumped that you
listen to it. All right. Here it is. This was the, this was the theme song for the Steelers
game. And then he needs at the end. Pretty awesome, right right Seth's got some good flow I love it
He makes a new one every week. Yeah, every single week specific. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, are we gonna get more flacco this week?
Oh, you might have to work flacco in it. I don't know we're gonna have to wait and see okay
That's a good answer. That was a smart smart way to answer that. You don't know we're gonna we're gonna go to the training staff
We're gonna figure this out, you know all those can you throw it farther than Anthony Richardson? I don't think so.
But we were saying like, it's the perfect, like you, like when Anthony Richardson gets
hurt, which we don't want him to get hurt, but you come in, it's not like, Oh, now we
can't take deep shots. We got flacco. Yeah. We want to take those shots down the field.
We have to, I think we got the guys to do it too, man. We got some guys that can run.
So yeah, yeah.
When you went into the game and then came back out of the game, did you think, okay,
I'm done for the day?
Like nice day at work clocked in clocked out at that point, I was probably on a little
bit more high alert because you're not really quite sure how he's feeling.
Obviously I saw him run off the field and seemed like he was doing pretty well, but
you never know when something like that happens.
Yeah.
To be honest with you, from the very beginning, you're on high alert as a backup because it's
a little bit of a different situation.
So yeah, no, I was still kind of, I think I might, I don't know if I unbuckled my chin
strap.
I don't remember really, but I'd be willing to bet that I didn't even do that.
So you're a perfect person to ask this. We were, we were
thinking about this on Sunday night when we were watching the Ravens versus the Bills
The Ravens when they go all black uniforms on Sunday night or Monday night
If you were a video game, we said it would be like plus five and strength. Did you feel that?
For the team that like like all the hits were just a little bit harder when you were in the all blacks at night
Yeah, for sure. There was something about it, man. When you showed up and you had the black jersey in your locker, uh, and it was a big game. You're like, it
gave you that little extra like nudgy con like that little bit extra confidence. Like,
oh yeah, like we're supposed to win this one. We're, we're definitely winning. Like everything's
on our side. So there's something about it, man. Um, but that, that,
that place just in general, like Baltimore, um, during a night game,
I mean, they do an unbelievable job of, uh, you know,
really bringing some energy in that stadium.
I don't know if you guys have ever been to a game there,
but it's gotta be one of the best places to play in the league.
Yeah, I do like it when it's night, you're wearing the all blacks.
You got all the fans wearing the Baltimore Ravens camo cargo shorts.
Like leading the team.
That's right. That's right. I forget where I was this year. And I saw I actually saw some of those camo pants. And I don't know why. But oh, man, that brings back some stuff right there.
Yeah, they're the best pants in sports. I'll go and say they are the best pants in football.
Yes, absolutely. All right, Joe, I had one last question for you. This has been awesome. We love having you on a row back question,
R H O B A C K dot com promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Q zips, polos, hoodies,
joggers, shorts, row back.com promo code take. Uh, so we saw you out in Tahoe. Uh, I want
to ask about your golf game. Also your hands are massive. I don't know if you knew that,
but when I shook your hand,
I was like, what the fuck? I just didn't have a hand.
It's so funny. People just assume. I think I have, I don't, I, there's no good, I'm not
going to explain my hands. I don't know how that's going to come out.
Just hold it. Hold it up to the camera. So let's see that hand. That's
a nice hand. Yeah. I actually didn't measure, um, like within at the combine, I don't think
I measured like off the charts in hand. I think I had an average size hand, but, um,
but yeah, my golf game, uh, that's not good. I don't play enough. I don't play enough.
Uh, I played terribly out there, but it was a lot of fun
It was a cool experience for sure. Yeah, it's actually good
I think we shook your hand before we shook Albert Pujols hand out there and that's good for you because
Albert Pujols has the biggest strongest hands and the crazy. Yeah, I thought I was gonna break my hand
Yeah baseball players in general. I mean they're up there
They're they're swinging a bat
Forever almost like who knows how many days a year, but like obviously they play a million games
Their forearm and like wrist and hamstrings is probably insane. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah rice bucket Yeah, I just was like, oh my god, like you almost broke my hand and you weren't doing anything like abnormal
She's got massive hands just being flacco. Yeah, Yeah, just being flacko. Um, all right. Well, Joe, thank you. Uh, play forever please. Yeah, please. We just want
to, we want to cause as long as you play, cause you're, you're like two weeks older
than us. Uh, yeah, we can keep being like, you know what? Like we're still out there.
Representation matters. 85 January birthdays. That's, that's important. All right, man. Thanks so much.
Appreciate it. Thank you, Joe. Yeah, I appreciate you guys having me on. Have a good one.

Do you?
I don't know.
Vanny Woodhead. What was the last conversations that were had to use your own phrase
I talked internally with our salespeople about how we can package it
To make money so that we can get it fixed ah okay
So it sounds like a lot of progress waiting for some loop backs loop backs
We got to get some loop backs going on per my last email
Yeah some loop backs loop backs we got to get some loop backs going on per my last email yeah
parking lot vani woodhead we should we should up the ante on vani and like see if vani is
actually worth getting back on the road and the only way we can do it is we find a mechanic
and the and we have to bring vani to the mechanic by towing it with the el camino that's challenge
level impossible double win probably not gonna happen. But Vanny, I feel
like that's a no brainer, right? We'll be able to do
interviews and Fanny just assume the money is already there.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm down for that. I just that's not really how it works.
But okay, well, explain to us how it works. Business guy. Well,
like, Max is just tickled pink back there. It's gonna cost a
lot of money to fix so yeah
Spend that money and then don't make it back. Have you reached out to exhibit yet? It takes money to make money, correct?
Try it's try hitting up exhibit do a pimp my ride run it back. Yeah
Probably could I can't imagine he's that expensive. Yeah
We should you know what we should guilt one of our friends that along the way that we've said that owes us for their contract
The chair yeah, I had a challenge
I have like Griffin maybe weed companies. I was like what if we just turn it into a doped in oh, okay
I like don't 10. Okay build a bong out of the tailpipe. Yeah
But then fill it with water make a gravity balls gravity bong
Okay, so you really it sounds like there's progress
Yeah, yeah, how much progress doesn't matter doesn't matter progress is progress. How much time do you have on that again?
Spring yeah spring summer. He's happened spring summer. Yeah, but as far as the actual spring in your legs goes for dunking
Now is the time where steroids come into play, right?
Spring in your legs goes for dunking
Now is the time where steroids come into play, right?
Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna do steroids. We'll see pussy. Yeah, you've changed pussy. It's hard to get
Someone's got to be able to get it when I did him the first time it was just given to me Yeah, we'll get him. Mm-hmm Billy football got him. No, no lights like switch Lou got him
But Billy Billy would be the plug., yeah Billy's got you Billy the plug
Yeah, all right your fire fest my fire fest is that I'm a hoarder and it's I've come to grips with it welcome
I've yeah, no, I've you're in the right place
We talked about it when we were cleaning the studio and I've been thinking about it doing it for a while and I finally started
The process I have been doing it of nuking all my clothes and just starting fresh Yeah, it's the best feeling but in that process
I'm like take all these clothes, you know off the hangers put them in a place go through them one by one
Like the what is it Marie Kondo? Yeah. Yeah, does it give you joy?
But there's things I haven't worn since I've moved to Chicago and I'm still like, yeah
You never know
Anything yeah, everything's the hardest.
But t-shirts are like, oh, they're sentimental.
I had like some nicer clothes.
We don't really dress nice, but I'm like, oh, what if, you know, the one occasion that
I need this, which will never happen.
Never happen.
And the only way for me to like actually change, you know, get a fresh style would be to, because
otherwise I'm just going to wear the same shit, which I've been doing doing So I'm just trying to get rid of everything but I've realized I
Just what are you just one day you say okay? I'm going to do it every single t-shirt gone
That's what I've been doing
I took everything I put it on a pile in my room and I've been going through them one by one and that's the that's
Where I've realized like I'm making no progress there cuz I'm like keeping all the stuff even though
Yeah, I haven't worn it Just you just got to spread it out
Did I ever tell you guys when when we lived in in New York in my old apartment in Brooklyn? I had a closet
that was
Higher than taller than me in terms of how much shit I had in it
Yeah, when I went to move it was it was probably eight feet tall this closet just full of shit
And now that I have a house the good news is I just have piles in secret places that like are you know?
Like there's a little garage pile. There's a little this basement pile
You just you keep them keep them spread out and it's harder to pin me down as a hoarder
Yeah, I have an extra bedroom that's turned started that's turned into a closet. So you're good. What's in here? It's like ooh. Yeah, just a one giant pile
It's also it's funny
Sometimes when you're going through your old t-shirts and you see a shirt that you made that's like specifically for
2016 back and it's like coach Oh riding a tiger riding Mike the tiger
You're like, what do I do with this and then you think about donating it and you're like, oh shit
What if somebody sees this like PFT football guys shirt where I'm kicking a field goal in the XFL,
like somebody sees that in a goodwill. And then they're like, man, PFT on hard times.
Everyone's giving away his t-shirts.
You see them everywhere. I have that happen here where there's just like producers and
behind the scenes guys will just be walking around around with with old sweatshirts and shirts that I have
Because I gave away like my whole pile in New York and it just traveled here
So like the other day there was just a guy walking around with a Wisconsin Taz sweatshirts like that's mine
Is there somebody that someone's wearing the idea your car? I'm sure that same charge like where did you?
Yeah, right or a hat and I'm like, yeah, that's my hat. I didn't know you were in the dead
They're like no
I just took this from your pile and someone that was actually another moment of realization because someone came up to me was like
Hey, can I have this sweatshirt and I was like now I want it and then I was like wait
I haven't seen that sweatshirt. You know, just take that right my initial reaction was like no, I want that even though it's been here
I didn't know it was here. I haven't thought about it I didn't try and find it, but it's a beautiful thing to dress other men
I'm just dressing other men every time you're around just hiring somebody come to your apartment and just take the clothes
Just be like you don't need this. Oh
What stage robbery that's probably
Walking yet, I need to all be gone cuz yeah, you can't do it yourself Just give us your key. Oh, yeah, and we'll come rob you
And you just like all well, then you can maybe get insurance from like that. What about what about hoarding spiders?
Is that a problem for you, too? Nope just battling battling. Okay, the battle goes PFT
My fire fest was on it was on Tuesday morning true. I talked about it on the show
But my so my car got towed It's at the mechanic and I told Hank
I have a very deep fear that I still haven't called my mechanic to get get a follow-up on what's wrong
Because my deepest fear is that he's gonna be like yeah, there's no gas in it. Oh
Man, would you be the biggest asshole? I don't think that's what happened
so the gas gauge is broken on there, but I filled it up with like $40 worth of gas.
And then I drove it, I want to say, four times back and forth
to the office.
And that's it.
So that would mean that the mileage would
have to be about like 2.5 miles per gallon.
Could be.
Could be.
And that's not unrealistic to think
that the mileage on that thing is that bad.
But yeah, I'm just basically too much of a coward to call my mechanic and find out what's
wrong because I'm afraid he's going to make me feel dumb.
Yeah.
Yeah, that would suck.
Yeah.
Be the biggest asshole ever.
I don't think that's what it was, but that's, that's the fear that's preventing me from
checking out.
Yeah.
I think you just never, I think you, I think he just owns that car now.
I think you just need to have someone else reach out to your mechanic and be like, Hey,
I'll call him and I'll just, if it's no gas, just let's just not say
it. Yeah.
What do we, do we stage a robbery there and to fill up the gas tank?
Like break in and put gas in my car. Yeah. And then if he's like, it was empty, like,
no, it's not. It's not. Check again. You're an idiot. Double check. Yeah. You're a bad
mechanic. Triple check. I don't think that's what the problem was But there's like a 10% chance that I feel like a big asshole. Yeah. Yeah, that's tough
All right, my fire fest. I've alluded to it, but I'm starting to get really anxious about
What I'm gonna be for Halloween
I know you guys probably don't deal with this but I need to nail my Halloween costume and my kids keep changing every single
Day what they want to be and I can't base it off of them
I have to base it off them and they keep changing. So what the fuck do I do? You don't want to be Batman
They're not into Batman the options right now are
Two days ago was spider-man. So then I was gonna be like, alright, I'll be Doc Ock or Iron Man. Mm-hmm
Yes, you do Doc Ock though. Yeah, I have a Doc Ock costume yesterday was a fireman. So I just have to do that again easy
This morning it was Super Mario, which I would love to be Bowser
But or Wario, you could be a good warrior could be a good warrior
But if I buy Wario and then like a day before he's like, hey, we're gonna be cops and robbers
We're gonna be firemen. Like what do I do? I just think I have to buy like six costumes
I gotta get I got a good one for the whole fan Can't you don't you have isn't your youngest son young enough where you can
Just give him a costume. Yeah, he'll just be a fucking so you can match with him. No matter what nah
You gotta you gotta do the you gotta do the kids that are like
The five and three year old are aware of Halloween. They're excited about Halloween. I gotta I gotta build it up for I have a question
Yeah, so you keep do you keep getting all of these?
No, I have not but I'm getting anxious because they haven't given me the
The answer to what they want to be for Halloween changes every like 24 hours. Why don't you just be like, okay?
What do you want to be? We're getting it right now. And this is what you're gonna
They're gonna change it again. My daughter all said she wanted me to be poop
That's good like legitimate just poop. Yeah, go as the poop emoji. They probably have a poop emoji costumes for sure
So I might just do that about this NBA photo day was earlier this week
What if you went as LeBron and then you had your son go as brawny?
Yeah, and then one of the other kids dresses up as JJ
Yeah suit and then the other one's a basketball. I like that. I think that could work. I like that
Did you see that? Uh,
JJ there's a DJ at the Lakers practice. It's already happening to our good friend JJ ready
Yeah, I'll confidence best friend Max's mortal enemy. They asked what's the deal with the DJ said that's LeBron's call
Mm-hmm, and he's like, with the DJ said that's LeBron's call. And he's
like, I don't know who's paying for it. But we have a DJ at practice.
Apparently they had a big wine summit before the season started, where he was going to
lay out what the rules were going to be over a bottle of wine with LeBron. And then LeBron
was going to communicate those to the rest of the team so they don't have to waste practice
time going over the rules. So in this game of wine, telephone, insane, I feel like LeBron is just going to give his
rules to the team. But JJ can be like, I told LeBron what my
rules were. Yeah, he feels like he's getting forced to play
brawny. He's getting forced. I mean, he's probably gonna get
forced play bar on he's getting forced to have a DJ at the
practice. I mean, JJ was, you know, he came up with Coach K. There's no way he wants a DJ at practice.
But that's happening.
It'd be funny if you made them wear Duke uniforms in practice.
Or and then took them away.
Took it so that they can take away the letter D.
I just hope LeBron's nice to our friend JJ.
That'd be nice.
I think it'd be good for basketball if they were good.
It's got a good track record.
Yeah.
But yeah, I got to figure out what I'm going to be for Halloween.
I'll let you guys know.
I don't know.
Maybe you guys might have to just.
You just paint your nails.
Got to kill Williams Jersey.
Yeah, sure.
That'd be cool.
I thought Hank was being nice.
I feel like a lot of guys.
I'm looking at him.
I'm trying to decide whether I need to go on attack mode or be like good...
Good suggestion. Thanks.
Okay?
Yeah.
I had to visually figure it out.
It goes Eberfluss.
Get a sick haircut.
Just put my head in a toilet and go,
I don't know what I'm doing.
Alright.
Good show, boys.
Let's do numbers.
Memes is back.
Memes, I didn't say...
that it would be funny if number three was called when
you weren't here you didn't I did it would have been funny it would have been
funny if we had number three yeah I'm gonna go with five Shane and pug here
shape see there's another one shame where'd you get that sweatshirt would you get that
sweatshirt D pop oh I thought maybe was a pile I got Shane a charger sweatshirt
from the they only sell it at the SoFi Stadium so I hit up my chargers
connect Shane came to my office and the way he thanked me it was like I saved

It was borderline tears. He was getting choked up thanking me Shane
How many people did you he texted me about I connected so far. I was like one tears it was borderline tears. He was getting choked up thanking me Shane
How many people did you he texted me about I connected so far. I was like, I don't have
What do you need this for he's like there's a sweatshirt there I can only get it there and I was
I guess it was more that you were so appreciative and all it took me to do was just send one simple text
So it was like yeah, like it was not a big deal Like I'll do anything for my boys. But yeah, it was it was a touching moment
Yeah, I mean it was it was inconvenient for you. It was not inconvenient at all. That was my point
