Welcome to part of my take, presented by Tostitos, the official chip and dip of the NFL. Is Tostitos mad at you right now, PFT? They're really pissed off,

because you can't buy their product in Manhattan anymore. I bought all the Henna Limes. They're really mad. Sorry, Tostitos. We love Tostitos. We eat Tostitos all the time. He's telling the truth right now. Today is Wednesday, December 8th,

and I think we need to start the show with a word from our friend Henry Lockwood. The floor is yours. Listen guys, I've learned a lot over the years. You know, I know some things. I don't know some other things. Before yesterday, I was steadfast in my belief that weather doesn't matter.

Wind is not a factor unless it's a tornado. And I was proven correct pretty much up until last night, but Bill Belichick, the wisest, smartest man in the history, probably of this planet, one of the greatest leaders who has ever lived, taught me a lesson, and I'm okay with that. I'm willing to admit because of what Bill Belichick showed me that weather does matter.

Okay. Wind can be a factor. Okay. And if it's windy, there might not be as many points. Weather does exist. Yes. But that's still a maybe, because when was the weather the worst at the start of the game?

At the start of the game. In the first quarter, most points were in the first quarter. If you're going to have bad weather, I think it's better to have really, really bad weather than halfway bad weather. Yeah, you're right. The problem with the wind is the wind got tired out. We needed more wind to keep it crazier.

It was a wild game. We were there. We're going to recap our trip, but let's talk about the actual game first. So the Patriots, Bill Belichick, we should have been clued in when he wore the Navy football mask before the game. It is Army Navy Week.

And then he went and attempted three passes the entire night, one of which I'm pretty sure Mack Jones checked out of a run. In the first half, they really attempted, they called zero passes in the first half, but Mack Jones checked into that pass that he threw for like a 16-yard gain or whatever. Belichick was probably furious that he checked into that. He was.

Yeah, so they had a stretch where they had 32 straight runs. 93% of their play calls were runs. They ran it down the bill's throat. It became so hilarious and ridiculous that I kept on saying while we were at the game, I was like, they can fuck them up with a pass here, because no one's expecting it. But then I actually think it reversed on it where it's like,

no, they're going to fuck them up because they ran it when it was, I think there was like a third and 14 that they ran it when everyone thought they were going to pass it. To set up that field goal, yeah. And they just kept on running it. Yeah, so the bills got double reversed by Bill Belichick. And they started to be like, wait, now he's going to pass it. Surely, surely he'll pass it now.

And then nope, just kept running it. It was a crazy football game. It was something that I don't think any of us have ever seen at least live before. Whether like those conditions and how they affected the kicks, especially more field goal luck, by the way, Hank, for your New England Patriots, if they make that field goal on the second to last drive in the fourth quarter,

which I still disagree with them taking it because we watched field goals be taken in that part of the end zone and everything got hit by like a brick wall. Yeah. So the ball would get held up and then as it would stop in midair, it would get pushed over to the side. Yes. No matter how hard you kicked it, especially Bass,

the Patriots kicker seemed to be doing pretty well into that wind when he was warming up for the game, but Bass was really struggling with it. Also, but the bills had the opportunity to either take the defer the kickoff or pick the field and they deferred the kickoff. Yeah, that's true. Which affected the second.

That's true. That means they had to go on the bad field in the second and fourth quarter. The entire bills. Belichick's a genius. Yeah, the bills game plan seemed a little bit weird last night because there was very clearly one way that you're going.

You can pass the ball one way. It's harder. You should be running. Hurry up when you're going with the wind. You should be using timeouts when you're going with the wind. You should be running the ball, which the Patriots did all game, but they especially did it when they're going against the wind to run clock and get the wind in your favor.

It felt like Belichick had control of that game from from the jump. It felt like the bills didn't. And I don't know if we want to like this is going to be tough because we love the city of Buffalo, but it's bad for we're listening to the radio on the way out. It's bad for the bills right now because they thought this was going to be the year they're going when they have ceased.

They want it last year, but this was a year like they're building something. They're contending for a Super Bowl. The Patriots come in. Bad weather beat them. And now they're still going to make the playoffs. But now in a three week stretch or four week stretch, the bill season can sort of kind of fall apart here by, by having to

face the Patriots and Tom Brady. Like the, the bills just, if you're a bills fan, you just had the Patriots come into Buffalo, beat you for lead in the division and then throwing the ball three times and throwing the ball three times. And then what's your consolation prize next week? Oh, you have to go up against the quarterback that as a team, the bills are Tom Brady is 32 and three against.

You're down real bad if you're a bills fan right now because it, and especially not, not just the fans. I actually think that the coaching staff has the exact same sentiment and the same feeling that we heard on the sports talk show callers yesterday because Sean McDermott was getting so pissed off in his press conference. He's entered the like Marsha, Marsha, Marsha phase where he's like, stop talking to me about Bill Belichick.

I get it. Everybody loves Bill. I'm not bad. Stop talking about Bill like that. And so he's like, he's, he's definitely understanding that he got out coached a little bit last night. Yes. They should have done all sorts of weird stuff.

You're right. They should have, they should have used their timeouts in the first and third quarters. Should have gone hurry up with the wind. They should have gone hurry up with the wind. Because Josh Allen could throw. They should have had Josh Allen throw the ball as far as he can into the wind on third down, send a guy down field and use that

as a punt because you're not able to punt into that wind. Yeah. It goes like 15 yards if you try. I said last night when we were in the booth, I really believe that it's true. That episode of the soprano is where Artie Bucco saw his grandfather's recipe for rabbit and he was like, you know what? I'm going to rediscover my love for cooking.

And then he made that after the restaurant started to suck. That's what Bill Belichick did with his dad's playbook. Yeah. He's like, this is what these are the plays that my dad used to run. I'm going to blow the dust off this. I'm going to hand it to Josh McDaniels. And I actually think that Bill Belichick did not want to attempt a single pass last night.

Oh, absolutely. He was forced into it at the end and it would have been amazing. Actually, that's a regret that Bill Belichick is going to have. He's not going to have many of them at the end of his career, but he's going to regret not winning this game with zero passes. With zero passes. If the punt return didn't get fucked up, I really think that would have happened.

Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, Belichick is like in his element. I know that there's a camp being like, what? He didn't do anything special. Well, he harnessed the wind and he was able to win a game. We were joking on the way in that Belichick probably has an entire binder full of just like wind games.

If a wind game happens, here's what we do. And you could just feel like it was a close game. The Bill's defense, we saw the clip afterwards. Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde being upset about the question. Was it embarrassing? I think that was a fair question because you got run on. And you got run on and you got run on some more. The problem was then the reporter was like,

in my day, we used to be able to ask those questions. Anytime you start a sentence by saying like in my day, you're already saying like it's not currently my day right now. Yes. But here's the problem if you're the Bill's. Because the Bill's defense has been good. But there's, I think there's a prevailing sentiment of like they've been good, but their schedule has been a little soft.

So you don't know. So I've mentioned before, Stathole Sports, Jeff Henderson, who does these weird stats for us. He did a graphic, most runs in a row since 1999, called by an offense. The top two are against the 2021 Buffalo Bills. Last night, the Patriots called 32 in a row. And then week 11 against the Colts.

The Colts called 24 run plays in a row. And if you look at what the Bill's. That is embarrassing. That's embarrassing. It's like literally it's, it's the entire graphic. I retweeted it. The graphic is most runs in a row. And it's in blue.

It's versus the 2021 Buffalo Bills. And in gray, it's versus not the 2021 Buffalo Bills. And then it's the list of everything else. But the bills have played three teams that can impose their will and run on you. The Patriots, the Colts, and the Titans, and all three teams have been able to run on them. The Bill's also in the words of a Paul Feinbaum caller,

ain't beat nobody. Yeah. They beat the Chiefs, but that's before the Chiefs became the Chiefs. These Chiefs. Yeah. That was those Chiefs. Correct. And they, you know, they were losing to a lot of teams

that probably shouldn't be beating them nowadays. But yeah, the Bills, they, they struggle against good teams. They struggle against more physical teams. And that is embarrassing for a defense. It's bad. And I was watching Baldy's breakdown of this game. Baldy was, this is Baldy in his element. I'm pretty sure Baldy just like went outside in his own backyard

where it was cold so he could watch this game to feel like he was there. He was breaking down how the, the Patriots were calling the same play, the exact same play over and over, but they were alternating. We're going to run it to the right and then the next play to the left. Then the next play back to the right. It was going back and forth, back and forth. Shout out Ray Allen. And they were doing the exact same running play and it was working every single time.

It's, I mean, it's Jim Harbaugh ask. I think Jim Harbaugh actually did that in a bowl game where he ran the same exact play like 13 times in a row. It's, it is the most immortalizing thing when a team runs on you and they know that you're going to, they're going to run and you can't stop it. Now we don't want to be all doom and gloom because like I said, it, it's terrible. Keep it coming. Keep it coming.

No, if you're a Bills fan, it's like, we lost that game. I felt, I felt bad for Bills fans. And then we played Tom Brady, who's like our, like this sentence shouldn't, They had a good year run. This sentence shouldn't happen to the Bills because it's so, so painful to even say that the Bills season is going to fall apart because they have to play the Patriots and also Tom Brady. Yeah, that sucks.

Like they have to play three out of four games against the Patriots and also Tom Brady. You used to be able to get that out of the way in one week. Yeah, one full swoop. Yeah, it's just, it's just made it more painful for them. What was that one caller that we heard last night when we were leaving the parking lot? He said that it was, um, it was like McDermott was playing checkers and Bella check was playing three dimensional Star Wars Star Trek Star Trek chess. I don't know if that exists, but it exists in their mind.

Um, and so, all right, so let's do positive for the Bills because you still are going to make the playoffs and to play Tom Brady confirmed. Well, they have games against the Panthers at Panthers Falcons and Jets all at home still left on the schedule. Would have been nice to beat the Jaguars. Would have been nice to beat the Jaguars, but I think that you can comfortably say that the, the Bills will get to 10 wins, which should get them into the playoffs. And maybe you build something, maybe you get hot at the right time.

That game sucked. It also just sucks because like we had a bunch of Bills fans, uh, sitting with us. Shout out, Benny the Butcher and Tony DeNiro. They were sitting with us and like, and Pete's a Pete. It was like they, they basically kept on turning to Dave Fidelberg and Hank and they're like, we need this. We need this. Like they were almost asking for permission to win that game.

And I went up to Pete's a Pete who, if you don't know, Pete's a Pete. He's part of a huge tailgate and Buffalo. He cooks pizzas out of a filing cabinet. Great guy. Uh, I was like, sorry, Pete's a Pete after the game. And he was like, uh, life goes on. I was like, you've done this before. It's sad.

We were walking, we were walking out to the car and me and fights walk past one of the, uh, one of the pizza stands that they had set up in the concourse there. And it was just this woman by herself sitting on the counter, staring down at the ground right in front of her, not blinking, not saying a word, just misery. If Norman Rockwell got really depressed, that's exactly what he would be painting. It was, it was very sad to watch the, the disappointment in Benny's voice when he was like, come on guys, he was literally doing the do something. Yeah, right.

The poke it with a stick. Right. That's what he was saying. He was like, come on, like this is supposed to be our year. But the spin zone for Buffalo is, I guess now it's time where you can circle the wagons. Yes. You don't circle the wagons when times are good. Well, no, but seriously though, if they go down to Tampa Bay and win this game on Sunday,

they're okay. You know what I mean? Like you have a chance right away to, to change it. The box have a running back that can run the ball. Oh fuck. They do. Playoff Lenny. Shit.

Okay. So the week after, no, that's the Patriots again. The week after the, no, that's the Panthers. The Panthers. Yep. You beat the Panthers. You're not a fan of Elron Chubbard. The Panthers have given up.

They have. They fired. They fired our offensive coordinator. Who's calling plays? Yeah. And Christian McCaffrey's probably out for the year. They've given up. Yes.

The Bills are going to make the playoffs. If you're a Bills fan, maybe this will be the start of the DVD. Like couldn't be lower, right? Couldn't be lower than Bill Belichick running 32 times down your throat. If they go two and one against Brady and the Pats. And they're like, they, if they win against the Brady and then against the Pats, then they're back. They're going to have a completely.

That's a tall, tall, tall task. They need to do something. And it seems like the locker room is falling apart. No. Come on. What do you mean it seems like the locker room? Don't lie. You never know what's going on in the locker room.

We've given him too much. You never know what's going on in the locker room. There we go. There we go. There's a fact. It's either a situation where they're going to come together. They're going to start at the DV championship DVD. You know, you've had a bad game.

The team comes together. They, they come back and they have a good end of the year. Or they are falling apart and they're going to get killed by the box. But I think you, you're not going to know until Sunday. What they could do. What if Cole just went and got vaccinated? It was like, I'm ready to go boys. Yeah.

That's like, that would be the equivalent of Rudy. He walks into coach's office and lays his vaccination card on his desk. Wouldn't that make Cole Beasley the greatest teammate of all time? He's like, I'm not getting vaccinated. People think I'm not getting vaccinated because I don't believe in the vaccine. I'm not getting vaccinated because it's an ace up my sleeve that I can rally the troops whenever we need it late in the season. Okay.

If we're being honest and I'm not rooting for this, but if Cole Beasley were to get vaccinated and he was one of the like 0.5% that had a really adverse reaction to it. And so he, he's like, I was right. I shouldn't have gotten vaccinated, but he was holed up in bed for the next like two months. Yeah. Then the team rallies. Oh yeah.

Good point for doing that to try to protect them. Good point. Good point. He's looking out for you all along. Again, I'm not rooting for that to happen, but it would be poetic if it did. The season's not over for Buffalo. It might feel like it. Speaking for my own experience, this is like, I'm going to about to do the same thing on

Sunday night. Like there's nothing worse than just feeling helpless against the division rival. It's meet the, meet the old boss or meet the new boss, same as the old boss kind of feeling to it. But trust Buffalo, trust. I think, I think they'll be okay. They need to do something drastically different though. The next time that they play the Patriots on defense, make a pass.

They're probably going to, yeah, they might do the, the defense that the chargers did to the Ravens. Remember that in the playoffs a few years ago where they just put like nine dudes up close to the line and scrimmage the entire time. Beat us. Mac Jones. Beat us. Mac Jones.

You can, you can live with losing to Mac Jones. Yes. Although I do love the fact that Patriots fans are like, you know, see, this is Mac. He's a great game manager. Mac won. Mac did not lose us that game. I mean, oh, actually, no, I was going to say he, he went the whole game without fucking up a handoff, but I, I didn't see a replay of that.

The pitch that got fucked up in my hands. Okay. So they hit him his hands. If it hits your hands, you got to catch it. Touch it. You can catch it. Now Hank, do you think the Patriots might be peeking too soon? Oh, I kind of do actually.

Oh, yeah. Well, the Colts are pretty, pretty big game coming up. Like you're going right back to. We have the buy. Oh, the buy. That's right. The buys are too late this year. This is too late.

Yes. Playoff football season now and people have a bad time. Is it Trent Brown, the left tackle? Yeah, he's insane. He is the largest person I've ever seen in my, in my life. He makes everyone else look small. The tight end Johnny Smith, right? Yeah.

That was lined up next to him. It made him, it looked like me standing next to big cat. It's crazy. Trent Brown is standing next to Johnny. It was insane. He's got to be like six, nine, three, 50. He's at. I might.

You might have been generous. One other thing about the game that we got to, we got to mention. I don't think this is a take that is like a prevailing popular take, but I saw enough people say it that we have to address it. The fucking nerds that were complaining about the weather that were saying all games should be played in a dome. The one tweet from this guy, Jay Berman, he said, this isn't fun or funny. It inexplicably impacts the outcome.

How are you okay with that? Just end the charade and build 32 domes, please. He's right because it's not fun or funny. It's both fun and funny. Yes. Because listen, I was thinking about it like, and it might be recency bias, but I think if you, you know, maybe next year we can do a poll. What are the two most memorable Monday night games we've had in the last five years?

I would probably argue that it's last night because of how weird and different it was. And then chief's rams, which was perfect environment, crazy offense, like why not both? The reason why playing outside and having to deal with the elements in December is fun is that you have games like last night. Do I want to watch that game every, every single day? Absolutely not. But it was weird. It was fun.

You saw coaches adapt or not adapt. If you're Sean McDermott, you saw football that you haven't seen in a very long time. Like you will remember a three pass game with 32 consecutive run plays. That's what makes sports fun. Being like every game should be played in a dome in perfect environment is like making, it's arena football. You're making it completely sterile. You're making it all the same.

You're basically saying we want to have a track meet every single game and we don't want to have any variables. The variables in sports make it fun. Like think about baseball. Every single field is different. I think they should do that with the NFL too. It's fun. It's fun.

The Vikings should have just one pole for the uprights to make it even. It's basically, if you have a take of every game should be played in a dome, I just assume that you essentially want NFL, you want football to be played on a spreadsheet. Yeah. That's what you want. You don't like watching the games. You would prefer to watch the little dot diagrams that they put up after the plays. They're like, wow, look at this play.

The freaks that nut over the dot diagrams absolutely confuse me. Why? Why do you want to look at that? You're more interested in seeing like in theory, if this game was being played, like if this game was being observed by a robot, this is what it would look like. No, you want the variables. You want the snow. In fact, the more drastic the weather conditions, the better across the board in all sports.

It's so much more fun. It reminds you of playing snow football when you're a kid, which is the best time that you can ever have in your entire life. And not to get horny with it. I'm not being horny. Okay. For the record, I'm not being horny. Miley Cyrus is hot.

Yeah. Would I want every woman to look like Miley Cyrus? No, I wouldn't because then I'd miss out on the Cardi B's. Right. You know, like you want a little variety. Weird analogy. You want to get... I'm falling, no.

I'm falling, yeah. I'm falling, yeah. I'm falling, yeah. I'm falling, yeah. I'm falling, yeah. I'm falling, yeah. I'm falling, yeah. I'm falling, yeah.

I'm falling, yeah. I don't feel the advantage if you want to have weather on your side. Like I happen to enjoy when a team builds around the weather and they're like, hey, we're going to run the... Like the craziest thing about the bills right now, and I don't want to bring it all the way back to like dumping on the bills because they are still a good team. But they got to figure out a way to be able to run the ball. Like it's going to be cold.

It's going to be windy. It's going to be snowy and buffalo in December. You should have a team that can run the ball because that's what the Patriots have built. I love the element of every game is different and played in different circumstances. So anyone who says, again, I don't think this is a popular thought, but I saw enough of it last night that I had to say those people are nerds, dorks, and losers, anti-football pussies. There we go.

Anti-football pussies of the week. Yes. I'm also still, I just want to clarify on my stance. I will still be smashing pretty much every over in any game with weather existing. Good clarification. I acknowledge it its existence. Okay. You're no longer an atheist when it comes to weather.

It's diagnostic. You're just going to ignore it, but you acknowledge that it's there. By the way, it's not unheard of to think that like Belichick has something to do with how the weather is being formed. Yeah. If any coach had a cold machine or a wind machine, it'd probably be Bill. It was so bad in the van. So let's talk about our trip because it was a great trip.

We went to Wing Nuts. Great to see Ed and Alicia. Thank you to everyone who bought a shirt or a sweatshirt we raised. I think the total, if you saw the check, it was like 15,000. I think the actual check I gave to Ed was like 16,500. And the shirts are still up there. New shirts too. New shirts, sweatshirt, size, sauciness, crunch with a buffalo wing.

If you buy it, we're going to still keep giving them money. They said, what did they say to UPFT? They said that they've been sold out since we visited in August. They've been sold out every single day except for 11 days before they even opened. Great. So they sold out every day, obviously. But before they even opened up for business, they weren't able to take orders except for 11 days since August.

And Ed was very happy to see us. And it was good to see Ed and Alicia thriving. They were genuinely, they were grateful for everything that you guys have done for them by buying these shirts. And going to visit them. And going to visit them. And they truly do love you guys. If you are trying to get wing nuts and you're in Buffalo, it might be frustrating.

But the process they've got right now is hit them up on Facebook Messenger. Yes. And they'll reply to you one by one whether or not they can fill that order. They don't have a better way to take care of it right now because they're so busy. And hopefully this money will help that. Yeah. Hopefully that'll help that. But they're so busy.

And the wings, they're just as good, if not better than when we went there in August. I told Ed, I was like, Ed, I kind of hate you because you ruin chicken wings for me. I can't eat chicken wings anywhere else. And he goes, you're welcome. Yeah. No, but it's the truth. It really is. Like having those wings changed my life, changed all of our lives.

So it was great seeing them. It was great being in Buffalo. Every time we're in Buffalo, the people are very, very nice. But what I was to say was so we went to wing nuts, then we got in the van and we went to the game. And in the van, it was essentially like a podcast that we're doing just out loud talking about how the wind doesn't matter and the wind doesn't exist. And then we all talked to each other into taking the over, which was very, very stupid.

You guys talked me into the dumbest bet. It got so over. It was just funny. Well, I wasn't going to take the over, but then you were like going with my theory that wind doesn't matter. I was like, well, I can't not get in on this. I retired from gambling and you assholes talked me in to taking the stupidest bet of all time. Not the first quarter.

No, it felt awesome in the first quarter. The dumbest. Matt Jones threw three passes. He threw three passes and you guys brought me back into the gambling game. It was electric though. For that moment that we thought we could basically call out the entire Internet and be like, the wind doesn't exist. You fucking idiots.

That was a moment I'll always have because I really was like, I was mapping out in my head what I was going to like do a video being like, haha, fuck you guys. The wind is a fucking pussy. We own the wind. It wouldn't have been incredible, but no, it didn't happen that way. But yeah, the stadium is cool. That was the first time we've been or PFD and I have been in the stadium. Hank, you've been there before, ate so much.

Every time we go to Buffalo, shout out Lenova Pizza. Awesome pizza. Buffalo has the best food. It's incredible. Maybe the most underrated food, but it's all food that's designed to keep you warm as you eat it. And happy. And happy.

So it's like gravy, pizza and wings. Those are the three main food groups in Buffalo. That makes for a very happy population. Some guy licked your nipple. Some guy licked my nipple. I wonder what he was doing today. Yeah. Probably brushing his teeth.

I wonder if he had like a girlfriend that saw it and was like, what the fuck? I had a firefest that I'll save for Friday, but I had a firefest in the stadium. Shit your pants. No. I'll just say it because it's ridiculous. Did you guys use the bathroom? I did. Yeah.

So I went and took a shit because we went in there early and someone clogged the toilet. Oh my God. There was no plunger. So right where we got there? No. So I don't want to say this. No, I'm a resourceful guy. Oh my God.

I've been in this spot before. Oh no. If you notice the trash can next to the toilet had, you know, like when you're in a stadium or an airport and underneath the bag, there's like 17 bags so they can just like bag it up and it's already there. You gloved up? I took one of the bags and I plunged the toilet with my hand in a bag. You fisted your own shit.

In a bag. Well, it wasn't the shit. No, you fisted your own shit. No, the shit didn't clog the toilet. It was the toilet paper after. I got one good flush in. Okay. And then it was the second flush, which always does me in because I never, dude, I'm in a

stadium. You'd think stadium bathrooms would have good flush. We got to talk to you about toilet paper management. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to think that's what it is. You know what? You waste paper. You're a paper waster. I don't know.

Well, I was. Dude wipes. Yeah, dude wipes. Great. Take 15. Go right now to dude wipes. I wish. I actually need to start traveling with dude wipes because that is absolutely true.

So yeah, that was, but no one noticed because it was a shared bathroom between two suites that was in the hallway. So it would have been a disaster if someone had come back because I was gone for like 20 minutes. It would have gone back to who it was. Oh yeah. Quickly. Wait, big cat, was that like, so you remember when I spilled that drink right when we got

in there? Yeah. And I was like, oh, somebody spilled a drink. Yeah. Probably the same person spilled a drink in the van earlier. I don't know who could have been. And then big cat immediately responded with like, you know, it's like whenever I go on the road and I'm like, huh, somebody clogged my toilet and you acted like you were making

a joke. But it was really. I think you said it was probably the same person that clogged the toilet. Yeah. And you know what's the craziest part? I thought he was joking. Doing the craziest part is that was before I clogged the toilet, which makes it even worse because it's like I already I know I know myself so well that it's like you made

a joke about clogging the toilet, then you went and fucking clog the toilet, you fat piece of shit. I'm disgusting. I'm 2022 is going to be my year. Listen, I am going to get in shape. I loved it in Buffalo. I had a great time. The food was obviously amazing.

Wingnuts was great. I would not trade that for anything. I love those chicken wings, but I ate so much chicken that I got nightmares last night. I woke up with heartburn. Have you ever gotten nightmares from just eating food? That's where I was at last night with sodium and yeah, I had a thought today when I was coming into work that I was like I could be having a mini heart attack because I woke up with just right raging heartburn.

I was just like this isn't that was part of my 2022 is going to be my year where I get in shape. I had to shit so bad when I woke up this morning that I wanted to take a covid test. I thought I had coronavirus because I had, but I love it so best. It really is the best. The people are the best. The team is not so good because they can't stop the run. They'll get together.

They'll get it together. I have faith together. All right. Let's do hot seat cool throne and then we will get to Kurt Warner and also Jersey Jerry.

Hello Fresh, America's number one meal kit. All right Hank, hot seat, cool throne. My hot seat is the Manning cast. Oh, Joe Buck put them in a body bag. Yeah, he did. Paint Manning specifically. Our guy Joe. They're talking.

They asked Joe Buck. They're like, you know, when the game's a blood, you ever wish you had someone a guest on so you could, you know, kind of fill the conversation because the game's such a blowout and Joe Buck said the last time I even thought about that was your Super Bowl game against the Seahawks when they got fucking smoked. Almost like it was set up. Almost. Almost.

I don't think the Manning cast would do that though. Me neither. My cool throne. I don't know whether to put this on the hot seat. By the way, Eli's getting younger. Yes, he is. Have you noticed that? He's getting younger.

Peyton looks like he's 70. Yeah. No, Eli, every time I see Mike, why do you retire? Yeah. He's younger than Daniel Jones. Yeah. It's crazy. Is Miami on the hot seat or the cool throne?

They're on the cool throne. Miami's on the cool throne. They got everything figured out. They got Mario Cristobal. He's coming home. Got him hot seat for being a scumbag. University. Yeah.

I don't know about the, I mean the Manning Diaz part, are you talking about the health care part? The health care part and the Manning Diaz part. The health care part is pretty crazy. Yeah. Pretty scummy. So they've never used any of their health care budget or any budget outside their athletic department until now to buy a head coach.

And don't get me wrong. Miami's used money from plenty of unscrupulous sources before. In fact, that's usually when they're at their best. Right. When they dip into that. Yeah. Ben Shapiro. Yeah.

Exactly. So I guess they made like $400 million in profit last year during the coronavirus. So they're like, hey, let's kick some of that Manning football program. All I'm saying is like, it's the you. What do you expect? Yeah. Listen. If you had it.

It's a cool throne. That's what I was debating whether or not they should be on the hot seat or the cool throne. I think they should be on the hot seat. But apparently no one cares. Everyone's like, oh, this is good for them. If you asked Danny Boykane, is it cool if we use this COVID slush fund? He'd be like, yeah, let's do it.

Because he's probably, I mean, he's what he didn't have COVID. What do you have? The swine flu. No, he didn't. No, he did not. I'm pretty sure he did. No. Oh, he got attacked by a bear.

No. But yeah. No, Mario Cristobal is a great hire. I did feel really bad for Manny Diaz because it was essentially an open secret for the last two weeks that Mario Cristobal was going to be the next coach. But Miami was like, we don't want to fire someone until he puts ink to paper. So instead, we just have Manny Diaz keep going out and recruiting. And yeah, he won't be the coach, but he is right now because we don't actually have

the contract. Hurricane. Yeah. It was bad. Everybody knew that it was happening. And Cristobal obviously has deep ties to Miami. It's back to the situation of what do you expect if your Manny Diaz, the way that you were brought there.

Like, you left Temple after one day, right? Yeah. Was he at Temple for a day? No. He was a Temple coach for a while, but he did leave Temple poorly, I'm pretty sure. He left Temple very quickly to go to Miami. So I don't know. Might have been.

Yeah. That's just college football. That's just how it shakes out with college football. Now. This is the new norm. Now Nike is going to throw a bag at somebody. I don't know who it's going to be. Kelly, maybe back to Oregon.

Oh, yeah. He did leave Temple after like a day. It was like a day. It was like a George O'Leary. Yeah. He was named on December 13th, 2018, and on December 30th, 2018, he was named Miami Head Coach. Yeah.

Because that's the job that he wanted. I mean, three weeks a long time. And also, Manny Diaz probably got a buyout. Yeah. He's probably doing okay right now. So I'm not going to shed any tears for Manny Diaz. I just, I'm rooting for the UWB back because it's fun. Yeah.

When Miami is a good football team. Absolutely. Absolutely. They're definitely one of those programs. You want them to be competitive. And I think Mario Cristobal, like, if you know anything about Mario Cristobal, he's a tremendous, tremendous recruiter. So he, you know, he had Oregon recruiting better than it's ever recruited.

All he has to do is keep some guys in Miami and they'll be back to at least contending for ACC titles. Getting to the Alabama level, Ohio State, you know, that whole echelon is a lot longer of a haul. But I think Miami fans would take losing by 40 to Clemson in the ACC championship. Yeah. But now, Vinnables has gone from Clemson. Yeah.

So now that the ACC is wide open. Yeah. The ACC runs through Wake Forest. There it is. Be careful. Can he pick it? Can he pick it? Go back one more year.

Kenny Heisman. All right. Your hot seat cool throne. My hot. Oh, you had your. Oh, you got one more. Was Miami your cool throne? Miami was kind of both.

I guess it was. I had another one. What's your other one? That's fine. No. Okay. Cool. I didn't finish season two.

I watched season two. Yeah. I watched season two. The geography. It confused me quite a bit. I watched the first couple episodes of season two. I think I'll probably, it's a summer show. And I think, did it come out in the fall?

It was me trying to make an excuse that I just realized it's not a summer show. Yeah. So it's not. It's a, it's a July show. It's a pandemic. Yeah. It's a pandemic show. You're locked in your house.

Has anyone watched Tiger King? The new one? No. I love to interview not those, the Tiger King people, but anyone who's actually watched the new one. The second one. See if it tied up any loose ends. Yeah.

And we will be doing our succession recap on next Wednesday's, next Wednesday's episode. Or Friday. I haven't watched. Yeah. We didn't watch obviously. I'm like five episodes behind. You'll get there. The deal is almost done.

All right. PFT, you're on sequence. I'm five episodes, but I have no interest in really. I won't catch up, but I'm probably just going to wait and just finish them all. My hot seat is Bob Baffert. Yeah. Because Medina Spirit, RIP was a good horse, was a very fast horse. Now all sorts of rumors are swirling around about Bob Baffert, what the percentages of

performance enhancing drug that he may or may not have been using on Medina Spirit this time. But this is like his 10th horse that's died recently. I think he's had a lot more than that. Like maybe not recently, but there's, I saw some things being said that Bob Baffert has had a lot of his horses die in the last 20 years. But it happened at the Santa Anita racetrack, right? That's where every horse dies.

Why would you let your horse race there? That's a good racetrack. It's just bad luck. Yeah, but it's like letting your football team play and land over. Yeah. It's actually, Soldier Field might take the kick, did you see, it's basically a constant arms race, which field can be worse, land over a Soldier Field. There was a clip of the ground screw just throwing sand onto the field on Sunday against

the Cardinals. And Heinz Field is in that conversation too. That's the best that time of year where they just dump, sometimes just kitty litter on the field and then they spray paint at green. Yeah, it's so bad. He just wasn't even trying to hide it too. It's like, yeah, throw some sand on it. But Medina Spirit, RIP.

I liked Medina Spirit. Yeah. Then we apologized. We had Medina Spirit on the podcast. Yes, we did. With Randy Moss. Yes, we did. And so that horse got a bad rap.

Hopefully in death, its name can be cleared. I know it kind of wasn't in life. A lot of people held on to those false allegations that we proved to be false. Yeah. Someone write in Medina Spirit on your MLB Hall of Fame ballot. It's a good idea. Well, also keeping off Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds and David Ortiz and A. Rod. Are you saying maybe it'll become a baseball?

Yeah, maybe. Yeah. All good horses do. That's right. All right, your Cool Throne. My Cool Throne is fullbacks. Yes. Fullbacks are on the Cool Throne.

Not just for what the Patriots did last night. That was a great fullback game. It was. Trap blocks and the kickouts from the fullback outstanding. But we're announcing the finalists for the Lowman Trophy on Friday. We've assembled a bigger committee this year than we ever have in the past led by new edition Patrick Ricard. Nice.

From the Ravens. He's now on the committee, as Billy calls him, the Kool-Aid man. I told him that Billy respects you more than any other football player just due to your mass. Love it. And he's a fan of yours, Billy. I love that regard. I just made that last part up, but I'm sure he likes you.

Definitely likes you. Definitely likes you. We've got the finalists ready to go. We're going to drop a video on Friday. Yep. Presenting to you the finalists for the Lowman Trophy for the nation's best collegiate fullback. And then at the Barstool, Arizona Bowl, last week of December, we will be making the announcement. We will do the trophy ceremony.

We'll do a live stream down there. It'll be great. So the Lowman Trophy, most important trophy in sports, is officially back. The ballots, the official ballots will be going out at the end of the week to all our voters. I love it. I'm very excited for it, especially make sure you check out Army Navy because that is the fullback game.

Fullbacks. It's America's game, but it's also the fullbacks game. It is. All right. My hot seat is Horny Dudes Online. Fuck. Nope. You're okay.

You're in the clear, PSD, on this one. Jared Goff's girlfriend. There was a video. She was doing an SI swimsuit shoot when the Lions won. And I saw Rappaport and Trey Wingo just being like. You see who likes Rappaport? Yeah. No, no, no.

Trace. It was Trey Wingo's tweet. Who did? Guess. Ravel? Nope. Nope. Oh.

You can get this. Somebody who should not be liking this tweet. Wait. Who? Somebody who needs to steer closer to the light and farther away from temptation. I don't know. You're always alone on Twitter. What?

Dan Orlovsky. Oh, no. Yeah. Dan. We need to have an intervention, Dan. Dan. We need to pry your phone away from your warm, sticky fingers, Dan. Damn, Dan.

You'll back at it again, watching clothed women's boobs online. Yeah. No, it was very funny, though, because it was just, it's just a great test. It's essentially like the end of a golf tournament. Like who can just, who can hold themselves back from saying boobs and football? Yeah. Like this is sweet. Yeah.

It's literally just a, whoa, those are tits. Yeah. Comments. Well, you could make that argument, but you could also say like maybe the people accusing Ian Rappaport of being horny online are actually the horny ones. True. Because maybe Ian was just like, this is a cool moment. Seeing Jared's girlfriend watch the Lions win a game.

Yeah. No, Trey was very horny. Trey's horny. He was admitted horny, admittedly horny. And Dan was very horny. Was even horny. Yes, yes. But yeah, boobs and football.

And then Cool Drone is us, boys. We've done it again. I don't know how many years in a row, but the big lead has given us the award of podcast of the year, sports podcast of the year on our 500th episode, no less incredible, incredible. So thank you to the big lead for giving that to us. What do we, one second, Jerry, yeah. Thank you to the big lead for giving to that us to, uh, whoa, we're not going to win next year.

Yep. Thank you to the big lead for giving us that award. We take it very seriously. As you can probably tell from the start of today's show. Yeah. We appreciate it. So, uh, the big lead, shout out. We got podcasts of the year award.

We don't really like to take that much time to, to reflect on any of these awards because for the most part they're just, you know, like we said about the I heart thing, just a contest to see who will go to the award ceremony. Correct. And they're pretty much for phonies. But for this one, I feel like we should make one exception year where we can just take this to say, fuck you to all the haters and suck my dick. Yes.

It is funny to give us the sports podcast of the year award when the show, the first 10 minutes of the show is debating whether wind exists. That's our sports analysis. Yeah. But nobody else is dumb enough to pull that off. All right, Billy, your hot seat, cool throne. My hot seat. Oh, nice mat.

Twinsies today, boys. You guys plan this? The merch is just so great. It's very cute. It's a very cool sports store. Plenty of hoodies on sale. But I don't think we have those anymore because those sold out. Nope.

We actually don't have those. But twinsies. Great merch. You're just flexing on our listeners right now. Sorry. Hot seat diamonds. Turns out there's a bunch of new diamonds that are fake, but no one can tell the difference between those diamonds and the new diamonds.

Okay. Coming out of China, the beers is totally panicking because now diamonds have no value. So hot seat diamonds. I love this. You know what's also certifiable? What? Pressure. NFTs.

Oh, big hats, tits. Thank you. Now NFTs are kind of more valuable than diamonds. Think about it. Did you see RG3? He was calling, I think he was calling the big, no, he wasn't calling the big 12 championship, but it was the ACC championship. His keys to the game was no pressure, no diamonds, but he reversed it because he was like, not

talking about the pressure of the game, he was saying, if you don't get pressure on the quarterback, you don't get a ring as ACC champ. That's why he was the best. He was a great, hezzy hang. I've seen, I've seen a lot of takes about RG3 and his performance in the booth online and nobody, nobody thinks he's just okay. Yeah. Everybody either wants to shoot a bazooka up at the press box and explode them or they

just want to bring them down onto the field and put them in the hall of fame right now for broadcasting. Yes. So I don't know what to think about RG3. I mean, that's good. Except RG3, please come on the podcast. Yeah. We'd like to have you on the show.

I know we've, we've flirted around it a little bit. Come on the podcast to discuss RG3. Yes. My cool throne is Tyron Woodley. Yeah. Tommy Fury cracked his rib. He's out of the Jake Paul fight, Tyron Woodley stepping in to get his second crack at Jake Paul.

So. Oh, I like what you did there. Yeah. Cracking a crack. Tommy Fury also just realized that he's not a good boxer. Yeah. So. He saw that Jake Paul's record wasn't 0-40.

But he was like, I don't know, this is usually, I usually fight a hobo that they just drag in handcuffs. Yeah. Tommy Fury was like, wait, I struggled with Jake Paul's sparring partner who is 5'8". And now I'm going to fight Jake Paul. Maybe I shouldn't do this. I wonder who cracked his rib in sparring. That's a good question.

Yeah. That is a good question. Yeah. He probably got beat up by his sparring partner. And he's like, I can't fight. He probably just got into a fight at a bar and got his ass kicked. Yeah. Jake, your hot seat cool throne.

My hot seat is pasta. A truck carrying $20,000 worth of noki was stolen in Australia. What? I didn't know they can carry that much money's worth of pasta in a truck. Wait, how much? 20K. That's not a lot. That's like the Lutans of Heist, basically.

Yeah. But that's not a lot of pasta, you think? It seems like a lot. 20,000. It's on the higher end of pasta. That's fair. Is it fresh or frozen? Makes a difference.

I don't know. Fresh. Freshly made. Fresh pasta? Yeah. That's a good shit. It's not that much pasta than if it's fresh. Yeah.

That's good shit. My cool throne, our meme's growing up. We saw this viral kid from the Popeyes. I think it was Popeyes. He was holding the cup, looking freaked out. Now he's a high school state champ. Hank is... He's woke.

He doesn't believe him. Hank's woke on the internet. Yeah, he doesn't believe that. That's him. I never said that. That's what you did about the memes growing up part. Well, I mean, PFT and I were like 28 when that meme dropped, but I appreciate that. Okay.

Yeah. You're speaking to the younger audience. We, at one time, existed in a world that had zero memes. Wow. We were pre-memes. Blows your mind. But yeah, that was crazy. That was...

Was it? Wild? It was pretty wild. It was pretty wild. It was pretty wild. Are we sure that's... Because he was... He's young in the meme.

And he's old. Yeah, wild. Yeah. Are we trying to verify his identity? No, Hank just... Hank just... I never said this. Hank sees any, like, cool story online.

He's like, fake. I never said that. It's good to be skeptical. He's been replying to a bunch of the places I've been posting him saying, yeah, no, it's actually me. It's actually... Speaking of high school football, the game this guy won was actually, well, he won the high school football.

We're talking about memes. But this game in this East Orange, New York, New Jersey state championship game was insane. They were in overtime and the quarterback did a QB sneak, fumbled, and they returned it 99 yards, like 100 yards for the state championship. You know, high school football, shout out to Situ at Mass. High school state champions. That was an awesome segue. That was insane, like a 99-yard scoop and score is crazy.

In overtime to win the game was insane. Speaking of high school football, Herndon actually didn't play against T.C. Williams in the second game like they had in Remember the Titans. I think it was the first game, so it's like they didn't have any film, so it makes them look really bad. Hollywood fucked that one up. Oh, wow. For the record.

Fuck Hollywood. Bunch of fuckers. All right, let's get to Kurt Warner. Good hot seat, cool throne from everyone. We got a quick word from our sponsor, though, before we get to Kurt Warner. Yeah, before we get to Kurt Warner, I want to talk to you about our great, great friends over at Movement. It's almost the holidays.

Okay we now welcome on recurring guests. We've had him on before. Great time. It is Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champ, Kurt Warner.

He has his new movie out. It is out on Christmas Day. It is the Kurt Warner biopic. I always screw it up and whether it's biopic, do people call it biopic? I do that because it looks like myopic. Yeah. So it's a biopic. It is called American Underdog.

It is the Kurt Warner story. Go check it out. I want to talk about the movie but we got to start with the bone to pick. All right let's go. So let's get right into it. All right. So we were at the game last night. You were at the game.

You're calling it with Kevin Harlan who we love. I've caught a couple of Monday night broadcasts in my car. You guys do a great job. But before the game, you tweeted out, yeah, yeah, it's football weather, blah, blah, blah. No one enjoys playing in this and no one can play their best football in conditions like this. But what do I know? I'm a dome guy.

I'll be here for all the windy action with Kevin Harlan. We had this debate on the show because we think that nights like last night are memorable in how weird and different and cool they are. And that game was so bizarre and Bill Belichick, what he did was so different and unique that we will always remember that. Why would you want to get rid of that? It's memorable for who? For the fans.

We were asking for the fans. Right, for the fans. And again, I love the fans and part of what we do is for the fans. But why I would want to get rid of it is because when I have the Patriots against the Bills and this is for number one in the division, this is for seating in the playoffs, I want to see the best version of the Bills against the best version of the Patriots and I want the best team to win. Not the best team in those conditions and I get it.

It's what everybody says. It's football weather. This is what it is. But here's the problem that I have and it doesn't necessarily apply to these two teams. But being a guy that played in a dome, being a guy that played in Arizona, I have no way to get ready for those conditions. And so you can say all you want about home field advantage and that's why you play. Well, no, because the Patriots can come to Arizona and there's no difference other than

we have our fans, obviously, but they can play in my weather. I can't play in their weather because I can't get used to it. There's nothing you can do to get used to cold weather in a situation. So to me, I'm just like, I want the best. I want to be able to be my best. I want to play against their best and I want the best to advance. And so for me last night, I mean, I played in that weather before I grew up in Iowa. So I played in all that stuff, you know, and it's just like bass kicking that ball.

I'm sure when he kicked it, he's like, oh, that's money. That's right down the middle. All of a sudden, the wind takes it and it goes to the left. And you say to yourself, what was he supposed to do there? I mean, it's easy to say, well, aim a little bit further because you know the wind's going to pick it. And I just, I don't want that stuff to dictate who wins these games and who ultimately creates history and wins championships.

I don't want that to be the case and it might be memorable to you guys. It's not memorable to me. If I'm Mac Jones, yes, I won the game, but I got to throw three passes. If they lost that game and Mac Jones got to throw three passes. What's he saying today? Like that sucked. I didn't even get a chance to, you know, to do anything in this game to dictate the outcome of this game because the weather was so awful.

So that's, that's my take because I just, you know, especially like you get to the playoffs, I just want to see the best team advance in the playoffs. And to me, the best team is, but the team that has the opportunity to play their best football. Okay. So counterpoint. Okay. Sports are supposed to be random.

Sports are supposed to be fun. Sports are supposed to have things that teams have to overcome at different times to climb that mountain. I think weather adds that element where it's like, we were talking about it like baseball, all the fields aren't even the same. You know what I mean? It works to the game where you have to change how you're going to adapt. So the best team can adapt to every situation at the end of the day.

But that's what I'm saying is like, but you played on turf, a team going from the, from from cold weather to the turf, you know, your team's built on speed because you get to play always on the turf. So they might not be as they might not be built for speed, but they can still play in that environment. And it's an easy transition. What game if I take a cold weather team and I put them indoors, I mean, what do they have to get used to?

Like what's, maybe they put a little weight cause it's cold. What can hurt you? What game? I know there's a specific game that, that brought about this take. What? Yeah. I mean, the game was against New, uh, New England when not when we were in Arizona team and we came out here to, to play New England and it was snowing and it was a wet snow.

And so like after the game, you know, you hear about New England and they're like, oh yeah, we put Vaseline on the bottom of our cleats. We're like, what, what does that mean? It doesn't sound like you're patriots. You put fast. No, I don't think it's illegal, but it melts the snow. And so all of us are have this packed wet snow on our cleats and we're slipping all over the place and they're like, Hey, we put Vaseline on the bottom of our shoes.

And so my point being is that there is a mental, uh, you know, component to play in the game. And there is something to what you're saying is that, oh yeah, you know, we, we both got to show up in that game and we've got to play football. And I get that because I grew up playing in all kinds of conditions. But the bottom line is how do I do that when I play in Arizona? How do I get acclimated for that junk? When I'm in Arizona and I get to fly out on a Saturday and I got to play on a Sunday, there's just no way for me to do that.

The variety is what makes it beautiful. Yeah. Like I like the variety. You say so. What's your favorite meal? Pizza. Would you want to eat pizza for every single meal? Over anything else?

Yeah. All the meals that you can have. Would I want to know if I have choices? Yeah. So it's a variety is a spice of life. That's what, that's what makes sports interesting. Would I rather play in a dome in every, every game that I play than anywhere else? Yeah.

We're not saying dome football is bad football. I like every game. By the way, just some context here because I just went and looked it up. The Patriots won 47 to seven. 47. Kurt Warner was six for 18 for 30 yards. That sounds like a pretty good beer specialty. I understand why you, where this, the genesis of this take is, it makes sense.

The genesis of the take. And so you hear all. It all makes sense. You hear all kinds of stories, but so we get off the bus and I heard stories from our coaches up in the box that as they went up to the box and we went out on the field that all of a sudden there was like an eruption, a cheer from the Patriots like coaching staff or box or whatever's up there and come to find out later that all they did was look down at us and our whole team was over by the heater, you know, before the game as we're getting

warmed up and they're cheering like, we got this thing. You guys have no chance, but it's, it's such a real thing is that the mental component to going from a warm weather place to a cold weather place and having to deal with the cold weather, having to deal with the elements and not knowing how to do that is a real thing. And again, I get it. If you're a Buffalo or a New England, you're saying, yeah, we want that because you get to practice in it every day. You get to work on those things every day.

I can't help it that I got drafted or signed by Arizona. So I have no chance in that setting. And so, you know, you look at the NFC and you got the Packers Packers are probably just go. We don't feel the advantage. We don't feel the advantage. All these teams are going to be messed up when they come here. I can go to the dome in Arizona.

I can go to Tampa and we can play. So we don't deal with as much of a disadvantage as they do having to come to our place because we're accustomed to it. Isn't it kind of beautiful though in professional sports that certain teams were beautiful? It is beautiful. Did you see the picture I sent last night? I was there. We were there.

I was at the game. That was. I was at the game. We were also in a suite. It was gorgeous. It was gorgeous. I was wearing a t-shirt inside. It was actually so hot in the suite.

We had to open up the windows. Yeah. Exactly. Something great though about in professional sports that certain teams take on the identity of the city in which they're located. Different parts of the United States have different things that make them unique and make them different and make them interesting. And so in Buffalo, I love seeing the people that are wearing like the parkas or the one

guy that's like shirtless out there, you know, wearing the Zubaz pants. I love seeing in Green Bay when they've got half the stadium wearing hunting camouflage with the dots of orange that you see everywhere. I like that stuff. I like when you go down to Miami. You know, they look like they're in Miami, Florida, you know? So I like the variety that it gives you. I think it's a good thing for professional sports.

I can understand from your perspective as a quarterback, you're probably actually the last person that, you know what? I've actually changed my mind talking to you. I think that for you, you have the exact correct take. As a quarterback that loves to throw the ball, I can understand why you would not like that sort of weather. But. And again.

47. 47. 6 for 18. 30 yards. That goes a long way in my experience. You want to lay down on the couch? We can really dig into this experience. But again, I think the bottom line is, have you ever thrown a ball that slips out of your

hands? Yeah. Just slips and you say to yourself, what? There's nothing I could do about that. Like it slipped out of my hands, right? If you've ever kicked a field goal and you go, that's going right down the middle and the wind blows it to the right or you throw a pass and you're like, oh, that's money. And all of a sudden the wind takes it and you miss.

You have situations like that and you go. What am I supposed to do there? I threw it. I kicked it. Right. I did exactly what I've been doing my whole life and it didn't work out for me. So now I'm going home and you're advancing in the playoffs because the ball slipped out of my hands.

That's the kind of stuff to me that I don't ever want that to dictate a game because you can say what you want. There was nothing I could do about a ball slipping out of my hands. I mean, we've all seen it Baker a couple of weeks ago ball slips out of his hands. We've seen Eli do it a million times. Kyler Murray did it last week in Chicago goes to throw it ball slips out of their hands. I just don't want that to dictate whether I advance in the playoffs or not. And other people I got buddies that are like, that's football weather.

That's how it should be. I just I'd rather not. I think it's partially to that. I the football has advanced to a point where it's obviously a passing league. So there's something that's fun about a team that can impose their will and run the football down another team's throat. And like those teams in a weird way have become the fun outliers. Like when San Francisco is rolling, it's fun to watch them play because it's different

than the rest of the league. And I don't have a problem with that. I mean, you're right. I enjoy that. I don't. It's not that I don't enjoy good defensive football or I don't enjoy a team that can run the football because I still believe games are won in the trenches as much as I like to throw it in as much as we like to see these high flying numbers.

I appreciate good football no matter what it looks like. My whole take is just I don't want the weather to dictate a play or something that ends up dictating history because you can't control it. I'm with you. You know, you can look at that the punt last night with Nikhil Harry and I can easily say to myself, just get away from the football. Like that was a mistake that you made. I'm not blaming the wind for you trying to even catch that thing when the wind's going

nuts. But a ball slipping out of your hands or the kick that just gets blown, you know, because you watch the kick. It was going through. I mean, if there's no wind or a little less wind, that ball is going through and then all of a sudden it takes a right turn. That was awesome. And you're saying it's awesome and that kicker's going in, going coach, I just lost the game

for us. I get it. They should have kicked. That was a coaching thing. I don't know what I should have done. He was missing in that situation. The exact same way in pre-games and the warm-ups. So actually he was making more than folk was making on that end.

But anyway. I saw a really nasty one that really hit the wind. You can aim a little bit further because you're right. He hit it right down the middle and it blew out to the side. It sucks because like you are trained as a kicker, you know, the middle never changes. That's what Moore and Anderson taught me. Middle never changes. Aim for the middle always.

You don't want to ever aim for a post because that throws you all off and I use to it. But I think the difference between Austin U and we can leave it at this. We can agree to disagree. Is that you like good football. We like weird football. Yeah. And good football. I don't mind.

And I actually don't mind weird football. Just when it really matters to me is what I worry about more than anything. Like I can live with last night in the regular season. I don't want to see that in the playoffs. I mean. And again last year bills Ravens in the playoffs. I believe the weather dictated that game. I still think the bills were the better team should have won the game.

But I just want to make sure that playoff time and who's going to the Super Bowl and who's advancing and who's writing history is not done because of some fluke thing that happened with weather or wind or rain. I just want it to be the best team. Okay. So you obviously watch the whole league. You call the games on Monday night. You're watching all the quarterbacks.

Can you give us a quarterback that you have been surprised by this year and then a quarterback that maybe you're a little disappointed in that's something we don't see because we're idiots and we just watch the ball quarterback that I'm surprised by. I mean who's playing like hey these guys playing way better than people realize. Yeah. I mean the first guy that jumps to mind is just Mac Jones. Just because of him being a rookie and just what they're doing now. And again I understand you know last night he threw out three passes so I know he gets

credit for you know seven straight wins but he's playing really good in this run and you know and if I compare him I'm just not just saying oh he's a rookie and he's playing really good. He's playing really good football. Yeah. And I always look at the quarterback position you know some people look at it athletically some people look at how many plays you make. I look at it mentally and I say does he know what he's looking at.

Does he know how to make different throws as he get his eyes in the right place at the right time. And he's doing that as well as just about anybody in the league and that impresses me. And he's also a young guy and he's also got his team as the number one seed after starting two and four. I mean there's so many different things so that's the guy that probably jumps out more than anybody you know when I'm kind of thinking about the league who else you know like Kyler Kyler's playing great.

Yeah he is. But but you kind of saw this coming it was every year has been a little bit better so he's a guy that I would say you know he's playing really really well but you know it's not a big surprise to me. And so I'm probably going to say Mack when I think about the playoff teams and who you know I would have said if you'd give me all those teams yeah who would you say is probably the bottom. I would have probably said Mack Jones and I don't think he's at the bottom he's playing

really well from the other side of things. Man I think you could pull a lot of guys out you know I mean Baker you know I was hoping he was going to take that step and he's still wildly inconsistent Kirk Cousins. Another guy you're just like come on man like at some point we've got to turn this corner and we've got to we've got to get there and take that next step Jimmy Garoppolo another guy that it's just like I so much want these guys to turn that corner and become that guy and then every year it's kind of the same thing with those guys and you know it gets to the point where you're like okay that's kind of that's got to be what they are more

than I can keep hoping for them to change. So those are a few guys on on teams that I thought we're going to make that push and I know everybody's still alive but I just I don't have a lot of hope for those teams because their quarterbacks are so up and down. You got a great Kirk Cousins on a curve too because I think if he was if he was getting paid 10 15 million dollars a year he's playing pretty well for that contract right but because he takes up so much of their salary cap limits what else you can do with all that money then you're like well I'd like him to be able to make some throws that aren't perfectly there

for him. I'd like him to be able to take some chances and win some games for us and Kirk just he's never going to be that guy I don't think I think the body of work that we have on and we get a lot of crap from from Vikings fans but we've been very right on Kirk Cousins. I watched him as a Washington football team fan for you know years and this is what you see is what you get with Kirk it's not going to change. And you make a great point because Washington saw it right I mean they paid him a lot of money and they gave him the franchise tag a couple times but ultimately they said we

think we know what Kirk Cousins is and that's not a bad quarter. I mean no I watch Kirk play and I say to myself and what frustrates me so much is that he makes throws that there's only a handful of guys in this league that can make and he'll make them consistently so you know he's talented but then he can never just flip that switch and get his team over the top and I think Washington said hey we're not in for the playoffs we're in for what wanting to win championships and that means we might have to go another decade without finding that guy but Kirk's not that guy right and so we're going to go a different direction and that's the question you know I've been talking to a whole bunch of people

about Baker yeah that's going to be the question on Baker is that he may not be that guy I mean and let's be honest right how many guys are there like that how many guys that you can build around with your right up with their right arm there's five there's six maybe well left to a to a left on my bad he's been crimson pilled yeah but you know I'm saying there's only a handful of those guys so then your next decision is are we okay with a playoff guy are we okay with a guy that's better than what we've had but we're going to settle for a team that probably won't ever win a championship while they're with us and unless they change or unless the team is perfect around them and again it's not a bad problem to have because

these guys are good they're one of 32 talking about the best quarterbacks in the world but they're not Aaron Rodgers and they're not Patrick Mahomes and they're not Kyler Murray or Russell they're not those guys and so it's a tough place to be but most teams are there yeah so my simplistic view of the NFL is always I'd actually argue there's less than six guys because the way I always view it is there are I'll actually say three guys right now Aaron Rodgers Patrick Mahomes Tom Brady okay that can elevate a team and make up for a team's deficiencies yeah and then everyone else to varying degrees need needs their team like things to be right to help Kirk Cousins is a guy I always would say is like everything's got to be perfect

around them the offensive lines got to be good they gotta be able to run the ball like you see with Jimmy G when the running game doesn't work the passing game falls off so it's like that next group of guys that if everything else on the roster is good you could get to a Super Bowl but it's got to be great and so the big question is like can you find that guy and then pay him less and I don't know if that's the answer I don't know if that's like if anyone has been able to figure it out like we have a guy who is good not great and we can go to him be like you're good not great right you get 20 million not 40 and we'll get your good defense and offense it's exactly what I've been talking about all week yeah we can't slot guys anymore right you know it's

not good enough that I say hey Baker you're 11th in the league you're 11th best quarterback in the world in our opinion so that means we're gonna pay you 22 million dollars right right and he's like we talking about I'm better than 20 other guys so let me go in the free agency right and I'll get 40 million a year because I'm the next guy up right and and you're right it's it's kind of messed up our league I think because it affects the ability to you know now I was talking to some different reporters and I was saying let's say a championship team has to get to the number 20 right so now you've got to figure out that 20 and if your quarterbacks a seven and you got to get 13 more somehow with your team can you pay him 40 million dollars a year because he's a seven right

he's a 13 I can pay him 40 million because I only need to get seven more points you know whatever that you know however you you play that out but that becomes the whole dilemma is that these teams get handcuffed paying a quarterback that's probably not that guy to carry them and then they're stuck never becoming a championship team because they can't find that ratio yeah one college quarterback that we had on the show a couple weeks ago takes after your own heart can you pick it so he's a two glove guy I kids have you had a chance to talk to him I have not because he listens to this show so does it yeah I actually reached out to his coach because I have a little relationship there and passed my number on so Kenny if you're listening yeah anyone who's not available coach

has my number so he can reach out anytime you have any advice for him just like I have you seen him play only a little bit I you know that's the one thing is I'm so NFL driven that I don't watch a lot of college football and college quarterbacks until we get ready for the draft and I get a chance to really break him down I got a son that plays in college so if I'm watching college football I'm watching him but the NFL takes up most of my time so I can't can't sit here and say you know watch the SEC championship game so see Bryce you know incredible yeah I would great and so you get a chance to peek at a little of that but not break it down to the point where I really know how good these guys can be so another big storyline from this season I'd love to hear your take on it from

the quarterback perspective you called one of their games a couple weeks ago the LA Rams everyone's talking about it because going into the season it was like they're going all in Stafford McVay watch them together is this a Stafford problem he is what he is or the conversation that's been had and I've seen it recently is that McVay kind of gets figured out as the season goes along and his teams fade a little bit because he doesn't really change his play calling or he doesn't do the things that have made him good at times well first of all they're not playing this year the way they've played in the past and so that's kind of the first thing we did something on our show on game day morning the other day you know just off of the Denny Green rant you know are they who you

thought they were kind of thing with the Rams and when they went and got Matthew Stafford kind of my mindset was oh man keep running the football keep doing the play action because that's what makes Sean like they so good is that system and the guys they have and the deception that they run with and then you add Matthew Stafford to that mix in that system because he's better than Jared Goff and if you have to get into a drop-back game he's better than Jared Goff in that form so now you've got this huge upgrade instead I've seen the Rams go oh we got Matthew Stafford we don't need to do what we did in previous years that got us to a Super Bowl let's spread it out and let Matthew Stafford lead us that way then I think you're going oh is it a Matthew Stafford prize right and

again Matthew Stafford is a really really good quarterback that's done a lot of really good things as I think about it you go but he's been on a team where he's asked to do everything you know his mentality has been Matthew you got to make every throw for us you got to make every throw so if you have that mentality for 10 years and even if they put you on another good team how hard is it to break that mentality yeah you know like you go in and you go oh well I made that throw and I've been asked to make that throw and I know I can make that throw so how do you talk yourself out of that when you've been doing it for a decade and so what I see with Matthew Stafford is he does a lot of really good things but there's times where he tries to do too much

and when he tries to do too much it's worked against them and they're asking him to do too much they're not playing the system that they played in the past where the quarterback is benefited from the system they're not doing as much of that and so they're asking Matthew Stafford to do more and then you can point at their defense too I mean like did you guys think their defense would be playing like this when they got all these Pro Bowl players on you know you expected their defense to be better also yes but that's what I see on offense is that I think it's a little bit of Matthew Stafford is that he's going to have to figure out in key moments can he make the right plays and not the wrong plays he hasn't done that enough in his career and do they decide

to continue to play this way or do they get back to what made Sean McVeigh so good and that was scheming things open as opposed to just being better than other teams yeah well talked about your movie because we got to make sure to get some information and I'm actually very interested know how it was made and the whole you know behind the scenes stuff and how this came to be it's coming out Christmas Day right American day sometimes that's actually a good day for a movie like this to come out because I remember one time I went with my family on Christmas Day to go see Wolf of Wall Street and that's not a good movie to go see with your family in the theaters this is a perfect movie to go see with your family right yeah I think it's gonna be a great movie from that

standpoint is that it's gonna it's gonna reach a lot of different people football fans non football fans and obviously something that will have all the elements that you can take your family and you're not gonna worry about some of those elements yeah great movie though so American underdog go check it out so did they approach you or did you march into Hollywood and you're like I've got a script I wouldn't believe because I was told what you were playing when you were playing Kurt I was told by numerous announcers that Hollywood would kick you out of town if you brought your story they kicked me out why because it was so unbelievable they won't believe it no they obviously came to me you know we had a number of people when once I retired so a lot

of people when I was playing you know oh gosh your story is made for the big screen yeah okay you know you hear that and you're like oh that's that's nice and obviously I understand why but once I retired yeah there's a number of companies that just reached out and said hey we'd love to talk to you and sell you on why we'd like to make this movie and how we would like to make this movie so we had those meetings really right after I retired so about a decade ago and so we've been working through it since that time we've had a number of different writers some different production houses that you know they've had the rights to it and then it just didn't come together because my wife and I always felt like if we're gonna make the movie let's make the right movie

let's not just make a movie and especially a movie because you know most people in sports know the story yeah you know so I don't want to just make a movie that just chronicles the story again you know you got to have more depth to it and so you know so we worked through it and finally about three years ago we got the right group together that really kind of saw the vision for what this story could be and how sports could be the backdrop and obviously that message is going to be in there but that it's bigger than that and it's about how we become who we become and how those people around us that support us and those kind of things help us to become what we ultimately become and what I ultimately accomplished and did you get final cut on it when you say

final like hey I actually wasn't that bad and I don't I don't get final I was really I would have changed it if they want to include that game 30 yards would you have told them please take that game out I would have probably told him to take it out but ultimately when you say final final they might have said we're going to keep that in and it stayed in you can't tell the story of Kurt Warner without including that game we go because we're going to stop the story before that we're going to stop it before that so we don't have to tell that story but yeah I mean we had saying it it was a collaborative effort but at the end of the day you know we stepped back and said okay what's the movie and so scenes that we really like things that were in there characters that we

really liked you know for instance my dad is not even really in the movie and I've got a great relationship with my dad but he doesn't even really make the movie because it doesn't fit some of his scenes were cut out and you know talk about a weird conversation to have yeah I love you you're awesome you've been but you're not in the movie in my life that's going to live forever and so those things are hard because you want to go to battle and fight for certain things that are important to you but ultimately you've got to step back and go okay but what's the movie we're making what are we trying to tell here and I've got to trust people that they're making the right movie even if it doesn't have all the elements even it's just a snapshot of the entire picture and

not everything so it's not easy and that's a hard it's been a hard process for us but you know we've had to trust people with that and and hopefully we've got a movie that really connects with people awesome well people go check it out alright last question I know you got to go this been fantastic it's the roback question go to roback.com use code PFT for 20% off your first purchase RHOBACK.com use code PFT 20% off your first purchase I know it's silly to do but I love doing it just because I want to know if you have a different take than everyone else but you're Super Bowl and give us the champion as of right now it's very stupid no one holds anyone to it but I just like hearing other people say yeah you can do one right now like you don't do your preseason one yeah I know

you know and you were talking about the movie we're talking about stories what I love about the NFL is that it always creates unbelievable stories for us every year things that we go you can't make that up so as much as I would love to see Arizona because I do believe they could be one of the most complete teams and I would love to see them take that that trip with what I've seen right now and because I think it would be a great story let me go with Tampa Bay in New England I think it would be an unbelievable way to finish the season and Tom got his last year and Bill has his chance with a young quarterback and you know and I think it's possible it'd be the most Super Bowl of all time yeah and with the way both teams are playing I think it's

definitely possible so it's not just a pipe dream like oh that would be a great story I think it's got a possibility of happening does Mack Jones have enough at the playoff time to get over the good teams two or three times I'm not sure but that to me I think would be would be a classic way to end this year and it's funny because we've got a lot of Patriots fans around this office and they're not lacking in confidence right now but the second you suggest to them that they would have to play Tom Brady in the Super Bowl they turtle up yes they get scared they get soft and scary proposition yeah they know as well as anybody yes in big moments I don't want to go against that guy yes well Kurt thank you so much for stopping by always love having you on so

anytime you want to come back we appreciate go check it out American underdog Christmas Day a story that is good for everyone yeah you go appreciate you guys Kurt Warner's brought to you by our great friends over at true bill don't fall for subscription scams start canceling today at true bill comm slash take it's true bill comm slash take you know why you get free trials you know why they renew without your consent it's a business scam out to get you don't let greedy corporations pocket your money download true bill to take control of your subscriptions I'm actually going to download it right now I'm gonna download true I'm gonna download true bill on my phone we're gonna see how many subscriptions I have that I don't use how much money I can save

accuracy I feel good man I feel really good a lot of people were saying that there's like actually like some bad blood between you and Jeff Nadeau and I didn't know how much of that was real and how much that you're trying to sell a fight but I've heard that like you guys actually don't like each other yeah so when I called him out I didn't like I said I was talking to Dave today when I called him out I really didn't even know who he was I thought he was the Gabagool kid hey yo you remember that guy with the burger yeah that's who I thought he was when you talk about like the like 10 year old kid no like they ever see that kid like oh I know who you're talking about yeah burgundy jumpsuit yeah yeah yeah that kid I thought that was Jeff so I really I didn't know

who he was I didn't have bad blood up until probably like a month and a half of COVID yeah when you got COVID yeah is that blood though that's more bad I think it's bad lungs yeah yeah I think it's a pulmonary thing yeah anyway okay either way but yeah like I actually started to hate him probably about a month and a half two months ago so it's real oh no for sure like you know listen I don't care that he called me a drug addict junkie or whatever that pissed me off and that just added fuel to the fire for the hate I already had for him I just started hating him when like people would really show me what kind of person he was with the stuff that he's done and the stuff that he said that's when I started to actually hate him so what's your plan on Friday night

what are you gonna do to him game plan is to come out and put the pressure on right away and back him up and have him on the defense the whole fight and run around the ring and cut off the corners and put him in a corner and just body work and once he drops those hands lights out I want to say for the record I'm in the Jersey Jerry army I think is disgusting which definitely do has done when he's saying all this shit about you being a junkie using that to try to put you down if anything you have a great redemption story oh yeah and you're somebody that is taking your life into your own hands for sure made something out of yourselves that you should be a person that we celebrate yeah that type of stuff you should not be he should not try to be using the junkie tag

on you as a shameful thing yeah that should be a that's the start of the Jersey Jerry life story yeah that's that's how this all started you know after I got sober then that's when I started doing the funny videos and doing the podcast canceled by Kendrick Perkins getting canceled by Perkins canceled by Bachelor Nation yeah that's pretty much how quickly tell the canceled by Kendrick Perkins because Jerry also has a very different definition of canceled but he was like one of the first things he said to me is like Kendrick Perkins tried to cancel me no it's a fact what happened so this is what happened so Kendrick Perkins was on like get up or something like that and he was just talking about this is about I don't know maybe closer getting to the

football season but not the football season yet called August August correct okay pre-season whatever okay saying on that show Ben's washed up he's done he shouldn't even play this year whatever I went at him on Instagram you'll say that knows a couple years ago yeah as you know you don't you don't say that whatever you're you're who are you to talk about football when you are average at best NBA basketball player I'm not a fan of Kendrick Perkins I know some people are but I'm not so he goes after Big Ben pretty much if you go after Big Ben then you're pretty much coming after Jersey Jerry so that's when I addressed him on Instagram and then I had a fan the next day message me when I'm at work and he said hey Kendrick is at this sports card place in New

Jersey how far are you away from it I looked it up 30 minutes so I told my foreman I'm like dude I have to go I have to go I have no choice like boo dude go do your thing so I left work I rushed down to the sports card store he's on Instagram live with the sports card place I storm in the door and you concurred here yeah I'm like you motherfucking pieces shit bubblegum sports reporter you don't know shit about fucking football here and the owner knows me from the sports card place because I've bought in cards there before and we talked on Instagram and stuff so he's like Jerry stop Jerry stop we're on the live I said I don't give a fuck about the live fuck this motherfucker and then that's when two of whatever the sports card place they had security

there for him Perkins they like grabbed me and like hey you can't be in here whatever get out whatever I went back home and started going at him on Instagram again addressing him I get blocked not only do I get blocked by Perkins I got shadow banned I used to do card raffles which I got caught up with with Venmo that I had to pay a pretty big fine for I was doing raffles on my Instagram for my sports cards Venmo cancelled me oh they can't yeah they I had to pay I had to pay money yeah cash up yeah use cash up yeah well I didn't know this time people would send me money for the raffles on Venmo and they would type in the you know you could type something in yeah they would say raffle right so then you got cancel Venmo quote on long story short I used to have in my

Instagram lives between 400 and 600 people when I would go Instagram live for these card raffles after I that he blocked me I got shadow banned and I noticed when I would go Instagram live I would have 12 13 people in the live whoa people were saying like messaging me like dude it's not even giving me the notification you're going live anymore so Instagram had a lot to do with this Kendrick Perkins had the most to do with this he canceled you yeah yeah you know what I haven't went Instagram live since wow we you should try it yeah yeah do you think that shadow ban is over yeah you want to go live right now I just want to see yeah let's go live right now during during uh we'll see lunch pail um while you're going live maybe Billy because Billy did

fight Billy do you have any advice for Jersey Jerry about how to get into war mode it's all about just accept actually war was weird sorry lie did you just see that no I'm gonna do it again good Billy thank you no no Billy really quick I just want to look look look look pick at pick at yeah live video is on a look at look at the notification oh yeah dude Kendrick Perkins still as you cancel live video is temporarily unavailable for this account everyone please ask Kendrick Perkins in his comments why did you block piece of shit I can't even go live anymore bubble gum scumbag to carry the hell on huh that's my favorite when he says that to people carry the hell on oh yeah and all because he had the balls to say big Ben might be getting

older yep yes we showed him oh yeah I mean he's if you courted last week his comments are false that's true he had a great he did he had a great quarter and if you think about it like this big Ben last game was the oldest he's ever played in an NFL football that's a fact but that record will be broken next week exactly right exactly right but as of last week Kendrick Perkins is so off so on so off all right let's do a couple questions uh Hank's got some questions sorry Billy I'm sorry no I thought Billy I thought he gave you some good advice there you're good you're it's fight week you can't be like anything that happens during fight week no one can be like oh Jersey Jerry's kind of being a jerk like no it's fight week and also you're gonna hear

from just a bunch of people that give you their advice on how to fight you can't take everybody's advice be you be you be you yep I've been working for a manufacturing company for the past eight years and recently graduated with an electrical engineering degree I got promoted into an engineering role and for the most part I enjoy it some days though I find myself missing the day-to-day grind of being on the shop floor and I was wondering if Jerry feels the same since moving to Barstool you know it's funny he brings that up you know my mom asked me last week uh she's like how do you like we were eating at the dinner table and uh you know kind of have the same routine every night you know what I mean I get home from work I take my shower I go downstairs in my little

spot that I have and just hang out and then when dinner's done if I'm not cooking that night she cooks and hey draw our dinner's done or whatever okay so I go upstairs and we sat at the dinner table and you know she's like how you liking it really though how do you like it and I'm like you know there's days where I do miss you know um my old job I really do I miss being out in the cold and I miss seeing all the guys and and have it's it's a different camaraderie there you know what I mean that it is here even though I love the people here it's a lot different you know what I mean here I spend maybe six hours seven hours a day if that you know I'm a notorious early lever sometimes but um you know there you're spending 15 16 hours every day six days a week

there you know what I mean so I do miss it some days I really do but you know I'm grateful that I'm here I really am let me ask you a question Jerry you had COVID recently how many of those guys checked up on you every day honestly all the guys that I'm bringing to my fight have checked up on me every single day every day you have every day I text Jerry saying how you feel every day do you miss uh do you miss being able to actually bring a lunch be able to work yeah yeah so I actually I still bring it here oh I just don't put anything in it that's it's attached to my book bag if you ever look at my book oh that's smart it's a car hard book bag car hard lunch box I honestly think we should just put a bunch I've told you this before but like we

need to just put a bunch of bricks and every day before you start work you just move them from one it's a good idea I love that I love that that's a follow-up question someone else asked Jerry what does a typical lunch pail lunch look like also how would you rate Schittsburg Steelers as an insult whoa um I know that laugh he that hurt yeah he's mad at that person yeah can we get that person's name I can ask yeah because that's he there's gonna need to be a follow-up so I say a typical blue collar lunch box inside the lunch pail would be I'm gonna go two different routes let's say one for a hard day's work and one one day that you know it's going to be kind of light so a hard day's work I would pack two peanut butter and jellies I would do probably two or three

seltzers a granola bar and a chocolate pudding or you can do the mix you can do you can do the vanilla and the chocolate pudding just to get like a little sweet in there and then on an easy day I'd say you you would do a turkey and cheddar lunchable it already comes with the Capri sun and the Reese's so you're good that would be the light like an Andy's mint maybe for the end yeah yeah those are nice I like it sounds just so cool because I I actually miss high school lunches yeah I do too because they're there was something familiar about them they would not like you know they weren't world-class meals yeah it was like 10 a.m. probably yeah it's like 10 a.m. they're probably pretty shitty food yeah but there's something like nice about just getting everything

that you need on a tray exactly paying two dollars for it now what days of the week would you guys order Fridays Fridays that's a nice treat and Saturdays oh yeah that's a nice treat see like what a lot of people didn't know is to um that obviously never worked for the company I worked for after 5 30 in the afternoon evening if you work past 5 30 they would pay you 13 dollars and 50 cents every time you work past 5 30 and that was your meal money so say if you finished work at 8 at night on the clock you were entitled to go for your meal with your crew at a diner or something like that and sit down and eat sounds like that's what we got to put in place here so I would love don't leave early yeah I would love that yeah you know I come in about I'd say 10 45 between 20 10

45 and 11 40 11 30 around there and then I'm usually you know I'm so programmed you know like it's so weird I don't know how to explain it but like three o'clock usually like when I'm working there is like the break is like that's when you know sit in the truck and chill and stuff like that and I'd say I'd say honestly about 241 I try to take the train yeah I do my I do my two or three round up yeah just described a three and a half hour work now did you do my shows I do I do my what I have to do you're training for Ruffin rally right now I'm training you know what I mean you do some stuff off the clock I just had a son I'm a father of one congratulations you know what I mean so I you know it's a long day for me you know it's a long day 11 4 11 30 to 240 when you're

working blue collar would you would you do the thing where you just see how long you can go without looking at the clock sometimes yeah and it's crazy like some if you do that and like don't pick up your phone do the day just fly it's like when I whenever I go on a treadmill I cover up the yeah I do that too on the road machine you just you drape it over there yeah because that's all you'll do is you'll just stare at the end every second feels longer yeah it's true I had a question about about union life for you actually because about a year ago we went through a brief unionization effort here at personal sports it was a very real scandal and a very real thing that we dealt with have you given any thought to whether or not you would want to start a union here I think it's

such a good idea really and I'll be the shop steward okay I think it would really you know change things a lot yeah what would you like to see change around here I'd like to see and I'm not talking about any specific person here careful no no that's management putting pressure on you Jerry don't listen to management careful don't somebody who's a top dog here this would never fly in the union especially once you sign that contract somebody who I would say is a top dog here is in debt for pizzas still to me oh actually it might be six because we're in December wow six six six and once you sign that union contract they pay the pizza dog dude they they will I would have had six pizzas at the start yeah just to make sure just to show a good faith you could

shut down operations yeah pretty much you could strike right now because of the lack of pizzas I could do that yeah and I'm you know speaking to that I might do that after the fight okay I like I might start leaving at 1240 because 1130 to 1240 because the problem is and I don't know which top dog you're talking about but um he keeps saying the pizzas are coming the pizzas are coming yeah and then you see like people getting delivered 52 pizzas right like that is oh I had nothing to do with it all right all right that's the first time that you get a pass yeah like somebody goes home and they've got all their clothes have pizzas on them yeah and they're just making videos all the time talking about all the pizzas they have too many pizzas yeah yeah people are just

giving them pizzas left and right meanwhile how many pizzas do you have zero zero zero just something to think about zero all right last question Hank what do we got last one oh give me two more we have time for two how do prison records affect union membership um it's pretty much doesn't matter there it is doesn't matter that's uh yeah especially if you got family in there and they get you in like that's out the window yeah like uh I I didn't have a passport passport sorry um in 2011 I got my passport taken away for five years um and you know obviously I started the union before the five years was up my boss asked you know hey um you know license and stuff like that passport whatever if you have it I don't have it you know why did you get it taken away I told

them and he said how the fuck do you get a job here don't worry about it so it really doesn't matter I love it Jared you have any advice for the major league baseball players that are being locked out right now you ever been locked out we went on like not a lockout but like kind of like a stand down like we ain't doing shit like we'll take the truck out but we're sitting in our truck and we ain't doing nothing you know like we did we still went to work but we just didn't do anything for like a week we just sit in the truck that must have been awesome oh yeah it was great yeah it was great supervisors would come by like what are you guys doing nothing sitting in the truck that's it because they try to cut back over like the supervision always tries to cut back over time

because of their pip the less we work the more money gets put in their pocket and their bonus and stuff like that so they always try to shut down over time while we the workers we try to make the money and work over time and once they play that bullshit cutting over time nah fuck you bro we won't do nothing so that's kind of like here where like a dog underneath the top dog has a stipulation in his contract that if he can make sure no one ever gets any pizzas he gets an extra two million dollars at the end of the year who gets that move in i don't know is that a thing it's interesting yeah kind of just figured it out now hmm that would be really low that'd be really low it would be really low all he has to do is keep six pizzas away from you and he gets two million dollars

isn't that crazy heavy heavy pretty wild pretty wild pretty wild what did you guys talk about in the truck when you were didn't that get boring not really like it's just like dudes you just hate their wives and just hate like they just can't wait to like hang out on the weekend and just drink and just gamble and watch sports yeah like stuff like that like we would never have like serious no well everybody it wasn't really everybody was on this everybody was on the same page when i came to that i'm not going to say who all right well last one thank you uh last one with a quick one uh does driving around cleaning swimming pools count as blue collar yeah i'd say so yeah i'd say so yeah i think so you know you it's like lift heavy shit oh yeah well think about

it like this the pool construction is fucking people who are doing that as an everyday job probably live in warmer weather yeah so when they're doing that i'm sure they're sweating i'm sure the sun is beating on them you know what i mean so i'd say blue collar maybe if you're doing in like florida deal with alligators sometimes yeah exactly i just say if you sweat at work it's blue collar yeah i don't care if you're just like a little bit out of shape and you're doing spreadsheets you're doing them really fast i agree if you're so fast on the computer that it makes you sweat that's blue collar for sure hundred percent all right jerry thank you buy r and r dot com yep go check it out right now friday night charleston west virginia jersey jerry is the
