I saw some people complaining that we're in Buffalo again. We had to come back to Buffalo to see Ed and Alicia. We have a great video with them. And we're also moving Max and memes literally from New York to Chicago. They have stuff on the RV. It's a it's a throwback grit week. Russ Bell. How did how did wing nuts hit for you? Because I'm happy to announce that it hits the same.

I opened up the new restaurant. We had the first meal ever eaten at the restaurant. It's not officially open for another 10 days or so. Yeah, August 9th, big day. And the friars on. It's fantastic. Yeah, no, August 9th, they're fifth year anniversary. Fifth year anniversary.

Yeah, I think they're opening on August 10th. Yes. The day after the big day. The day after the big day. The day after the big day. So, grit week, we're here. Ready to go. Feeling good. Everyone feel good?

I'm fired up. I'm a shower. You're so fired up. You were complaining about how early we had to wake up tomorrow. No, no. False. That's all fact. I took a shower, got some nice shampoo, soup,

and I got out of the shower. I was like, I'm ready to go. I'm more worried because I'm so fired up. I'm not going to be able to sleep. That's my concern. Oh, okay. Interesting. So fired up.

And we have the finale of the Billy football story arc. Billy, you're here. I have no idea where we're going this week. I have just, I said it twice. Yeah, and we've also, I think, been talking about it for the last two months. Yeah, but I still don't, like, I don't really listen here.

Yeah, yeah. But it's hard. I think we're going next. Russ belt. Oh, there we go. What's in the Russ belt? All the rust. Where do you think that we're stopping tomorrow? I think we're going to train camp. Yeah. But after that, not really sure. Yes. This is, yeah, this is the actual, it's a microcosm of the Billy football greater story. Just along for the ride. Yeah, here he is, folks. So we got a great show for you, Dan.

Camel, coming up, Jake was just finishing the NV 5 corn fairy tour. So he will be joining us tomorrow. We actually should call him. Should we call him? Yeah, see how we did. I want to hear where he came up with the closing line. It is the Crow show. It is the Crow show. Let's see. All right, so we're going to call Jake real quick.

Let's get it. I mean, I'm always being reported. Oh, good point. Mm-hmm. Jay stuff. He probably knows. This is Daniel Katz from part of my take. I know. This might be the first time.

I didn't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. give us real quick because we were saying you're not here. How'd you do this weekend? I thought the entire team did a really good job. I think for everyone's first golf broadcast, I was really happy with how it all went. It's a really fun sport to call.

Especially down the stretch, the drama just building up those last 30 minutes, two playoff holes. I was really happy with how everything went. Hey, PFT commenter from part of my take sports podcast, personal sports. It's really seemed like you and Kirk got into a nice, little camaraderie at the end, the, uh, the tension kind of melted away. How would you say your relationship developed?

Yeah, I mean, he's just not a nice person. One of the cameras are only that I mean, it's shattering news. Like you admit that to that's just who he is. And I've accepted that, but I'm proud of myself for not letting him walk all over me, and I had to push back. Yeah, I think he respected you because you, you, like, you, yeah, yeah, that was a great back and forth. The tension was great. Uh, yeah, the whole thing was, was incredible. Now, anything we wish we had back. Shot of the lifetime.

What? Huh? Anything you wish you had back. The shot at your lifetime. The guy lost it. I mean, he went, he got there in two. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Patrick Fishburn. Yeah.

Got there in two. Yeah. He hit a green and registered in regulation. Oh, okay. So was he, how close was he? Think like 20 feet. Oh, wow. That's a shot of a lifetime. Hey, Jake, uh, PFT, uh, part of the TX Sports podcast. Is that the only time you think that guy has ever reached a par five and two? No, but I did he win. Wait, did he win? No, we're in the other guy's son, a birdie, but that's bad when you lose with a shot of a lifetime.

And you're round. No, I thought that was the only one. That was the only one, Jake, where I was like shot of a lifetime. It was tough when he lost that playoff. I think, yeah, but I think I nailed his equal put to tie it. Oh, after he reached the green and one under regulation, the whole work. Oh, he'd only done that before.

It was actually the whole before. Wait, he had hit an eagle on this hole, and then you gave him a shot of a lifetime. Yeah, because the other guy was lying off, it seemed like he was over at that point. Jake, we honestly think you did a very good job. You did a great job, Jake. You did a great job.

I have one last question. Billy has the mic solo tonight for Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore of recurring guests. How much do you trust Billy and have you guys discuss what your picks will be? I sent in 12 guys just off the top of the line. Oh, guys. Oh, wow. 12, 12 recurring guests that I think could be in the running. I'm giving you an empty. So it's Billy's got the ball tonight. I hope he can deliver it and we'll see.

I hope he can give you a shot of a lifetime. Guys is gender neutral. God, I really wasn't thinking much about it now, I'm going to. Oh yeah, no, you should, it was, yeah. Yeah. You did a great job, Jake. Jake, here was my test, was if we would give a regular announcer shit for that and we would.

So it's only fair, but you were great otherwise. So it's not, yeah. I can't be perfect. I definitely. Right. It didn't ruin the rest of broadcast, but that was a moment where the minute it happened, I was like, I'm going to have to give him shit about this. Yeah.

You know, I think I was ready for the, for the biggest moment was the show. I thought I'd help you. You did. You did. I think I was ready for the biggest moment was the crow show. I thought I'd help you did You did Yeah, like if I if I could go 90% I'll take it. Yeah, yeah All right, well, we'll see you tomorrow Jake had safe flight and we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna find a way to get winged not to get okay Oh Amazing, okay, I'll see you

Okay, okay, see you Jake love you love you. Oh, amazing. Okay. I'll see you tomorrow. Okay. Okay. Okay. See you, Jake. Love you. Love you too. Oh, thank you. The shot of lifetime was tough. I mean, you just ruined his night.

Maybe a little. It might have been a sharp one. We don't know for a hit perspective. Oh, he did a great job. He was fantastic. Again, I think that that's actually a step. We can't, we can't just go kid gloves. We would, if Tony Romo had said that,

if, you know, Jim Nance said, in a game that they lose. Right. If Jim Nance said it, we would have had fun with it. That doesn't mean Jim Nance is a bad announcer. He's a good shot. It was a good shot.

It was a very good shot. It was a shot of his last 10 minutes. Yeah, exactly. And actually the pot that the other guy made was a bigger shot on that. Maybe more impressive. Yeah. Yeah. But either way, great great job by the whole broadcast crew. I thought the Kirk Jake, uh, tension was hilarious. Um, riggs, Frankie, Dan, Francis, trying everyone, everyone behind the scenes. So yeah. good job. That's where Jake is. All right. What else we got to talk about before we get into the rest of Great Week talk. Oh, Robert and Jim. Hmm. Are now excuse me not Robert Jonathan Taylor. Jonathan. John Robert Eward.

RIP. RIP Robert Trailer. Robert Trailer. They tried to track your trailer. Yeah. Jim Urse has been on one for the last 48 hours. And so him and Jonathan Taylor are, they're going at it, started with beef over running backs, not being paid well. Jonathan Taylor's up next to get paid. And apparently Jim Urse had a one-on-one meeting with him on Saturday.

And Urse left the meeting saying, if I die tonight and Jonathan Taylor is out of the league, no one's going to miss us. The league goes on. We know that the national football league rolls on fast forward 24 hours. Jonathan Taylor is not showing up to camp. He's complaining of back pain. The cult say that's a preexisting injury has nothing to do with football. We're thinking about now putting you on the non football injury list.

And this is after Jonathan Taylor has requested a trade. So they're playing a little game of chicken. They would not have to pay him this year. And he would not complete his rookie contract. Yep. If they put him on this non-football injury because he got hurt back in training in Arizona solo. Yeah.

Yeah. So basically, he had this meeting with Jim Orsay, Orsay pretty much told him, no one cares about you. Let's focus on you showing up to work this year and just remember the league's bigger than you. Jim Orsay is not entirely wrong that that's how kind of the league looks at all their players

where everybody's replaceable except for maybe two or three guys in the entire league. Yeah. So he's not entirely wrong about that. Maybe a little bit too honest. It was, it was one of those quotes that probably didn't need to be said, but it's factual. Yeah. Like his point is, the NFL is bigger than everyone.

There is no one person, himself included, Jim Urse included, that could slow down what this thing does. It's just a very like nihilistic, you know, kind of like damn, this whole world's gonna. That's the perspective you get after doing like 30 years of hard psychedelic drugs. Yeah. Aaron Rodgers would listen to Mr. Ersa and be like, yeah, no, he's right. Isn't that a, uh, uh, uh, trail withers, uh, uh uh, uh, tweet that he's, she's gonna spend the whole rest of her life not thinking about me or something like that. Like, like, yeah, like that's kind of what it is.

Yeah. Like, oh, damn. Yeah. It's true. So, so, so Taylor demanded a trade afterwards. And then the cults now have them on a technicality, basically saying you better actually play for us. We're not gonna trade you balls in your court right now. He will play. Yes. I think he will come and play. Uh, uh, it does suck because it's, I mean, it just goes going to trade you balls in your court right now. He will play. Yes. I think he will come and play. It does suck because it's, I mean, it just goes back to the same conversation we had

like four times. It sucks the running backs. Yeah. And it sucks, especially if you get hurt outside of the football facility and they can pull this technicality on you. Jim Merse, though, the best part was because he had that quote, people were just retweeting old Jim Merseys tweets. Mm-hmm. And he's got some bangers. Oh, people were just retweeting old Jim Urcei tweets.

And he's got some bangers. Oh, 2011 was just Jim Urcei just shooting from the head. I think he said like vice president Joe Biden's six foot seven tallest vice president ever. That's his version of the Terry Rosier tweet. The Obama. Oh, here we go. Yeah. Yeah.

Joe Biden, Thomas L. Yeah. He should have hooped and said, try and kill people. I screen shot it a couple. These are all from 2011, 2012. He said, there ain't much to country living sweat, piss, jizz and blood. Sweet home album of play that dead band song. It's a word of diva.

Yep. I'm a sweet and tender hooligan. Time is short. There's so a lot of lyrics mixed in. Time is short. And the days are sweet and passion rules that arrow the flies. You're weed one. There's purple juice purple berries purple drink. These are all different things He's in Miami playing angry birds in hotel room one of them suckers hopped out of my phone and bit my dog Howard right in the ass too much caffeine

Yeah, that was not a war in Zeevon's cool. No, that one was also Ursa at the start training camp today. Do you see him on the golf cart? He was driving out of the practice field and there's this guy that's in the stands that yells at him, Jim, I never win one of your Twitter giveaways. And so Ursa in an all-time power move, he's got an envelope with him and he reaches out from the golf cart to a security guard that's there. He's like, here I can't stop the car but you give this to him. Hands the guy an envelope, walks up to the dude in the stands, hands him that envelope, and the guy looks at, he's like, oh my god, Jim Erse just gave me $2,000. And then he starts going through, he's like, and he autographed it. What a fucking flex. Jim Erse autographs money.

Do you say, I mean, if it's a hundred dollar bill and it's Jim Orsay, you could say that's game worn. For him? Yeah, game used, merchandise. And so he doesn't autograph, and he signs it right on Ben Franklin's face, hands it to the guy. If I were a billionaire like Jim Orsay,

I would do that all the time. Yeah, I should be handing people racks. You do that once every day. You give away $2,000, once a day. Just so bad. And then everyone's like, wow, this guy's basically a philanthropist. Just make someone's day,

then you $2,000 is nothing in Jim Mercy. It's everything to someone else. Yep. My buddy's a caddy down Florida, and whenever Jim Mercy goes to the course, he has like three racks for everybody, and just hands him a hand. Yeah, that's what I do.

I would tip, I would tip double like the bill on every big meal. I'd tip, you know, caddies, everything. It's just awesome. Tip everybody, everyone you come across. Why not? Here's a tip, here's a tip, here's a tip. Here's a tip, here's a tip. Be like, that's seeing good fellows,

where they're walking in the back of the coat of a cabana. Just rip and shit off for people. He carries a duffle bag in the golf cart that's just filled with three K increments. He loves his duffle bags of cash. Yeah. That, I mean, a duffle bag, three K is not that much. You're not going to get it. Like, you're not going to get like a hundred K.

Oh, okay. Three K. Oh, and three K. Oh, it's okay. That's a lot of empty space. It was just three K and 3K, oh. Oh, it's okay. God, that's like, that's a lot of empty space. It was just 3K and a double 3K. Yeah, you're right. He's handing out 3K to everybody.

Cartgirls, caddies. Ugh. We should start doing that. Just double bags filled with ones. We should just give away, our fill is in Bobway currency. We should just give away counterfeit money. Yeah, I mean, what if,

there you go. Like, is it a crime to give away counterfeit money? If we don't try to spend it, yes, definitely. If we don't try to spend it, it's definitely felony. What if it's very clearly counterfeit money? You're just, try to spend it, if we don't try to spend it, it's definitely felony. What if it's very clearly counterfeit money? You're just now you're just talking about pieces of paper.

Yeah, no, we give away money that you get the reaction where the person's like, holy shit, you just gave me a thousand bucks, and then it just hangs face on the bill. Yeah, I like that. Like that would be, you have the rap, you know, that says like a thousand dollars, and then we just hand it to him and you get,

you just gotta move away quick enough before they realize it's fake. I think that could play. Yeah. Because the moment last forever for you, you have that moment. And we also film all of it. Yeah. And then we cut the video before they realize it's not Benjamin Franklin,

it's Benjamin Hancklin. Now this sounds like we're just doing a full-send sketch. I kinda like it. Oh, how about this? We put poop oncklin. Now this sounds like we're just doing a full sense sketch. I kind of like, oh, how about this? We put poop on the money. And then we leave it on the ground and people find the poop money. Yeah. I pooped dollar my friend once. The college was fucking hilarious.

He really thought he got a $5 bill. Yeah. That's awesome. Oh yeah. So yeah, Jonathan Taylor, Jim Mercy, weird times. We also have Aaron Rogers standing up for Nathaniel Hackett telling Sean Peyton to keep my coaches name out of your mouth. I for one stand with Aaron Rogers here. Who would ever make fun of Nathaniel Hackett? Not us or Aaron Rogers. Not not certainly not us anything with Nathaniel Hackett. Nope. Sean nice guy and Aaron Rogers even

nicer guy. And his son thinks Blake Burtel says a huge dick. Yeah, great guy Fact good good offspring. They They talked to Sean Peyton again. Okay, Sean Peyton kind of walked back his previous comp or at least apologize Like I was a little bit out of line. I probably shouldn't have said that he didn't really say that anything that he said was wrong Because it wasn't like he was he was telling the truth. He was just a little bit too honest. Correct. And it was funny because there's a lot of people out there that that saw Sean Payton's

comments and immediately said like he's playing 14 dimensional chess by by giving this on the record interview. No, sometimes Sean Payton just is too honest with people. Yeah. And it's kind of a dick. That's kind of who he is. He's a great football coach, but he wasn't trying to like maneuver chest pieces around, take attention off roster Wilson, put her on him.

He wasn't doing the Phil Jackson thing. He just has been out of the league for a couple of years. He was an analyst. Here, he said he had his fox hat on. Yeah, no, it's, it, here's a little fun fact about any football coach. They do think they're the smartest guy in the room. And if you ask for their opinion on something, they will sometimes give it to you. And it will be harsh.

Yeah. That's just a fact. Yeah. Like that's Sean. If you're just like, Hey, Sean Payne, what do you think? And then you're hacked it last year. He could not answer it. Or if he's feeling in some kind of mood, he could answer it the way he did and just

burn the whole house down. And also if Aaron Rogers loves him so much, how come he didn't decide to go to Denver last year? Well, Aaron Rogers is a loyal guy to the jets. Okay. Now, yeah. Now, okay. He did, I, now, again, some people make fun of Aaron Rogers, those people are losers of

jealous. Aaron Rogers did have an answer that some people might say is him just being very cute. He said Christopher Nolan, his favorite Christian for Nolan movie, is the Prestige. So, what do you think about that, Hank? Christopher rocks. Was it your favorite Christopher Nolan movie? It's up there.

Really? Oh yeah. Okay. Did you see it in one of the appropriate IMAXs? No, I'm prestigious is one of the best movies of all time. But that does feel like a, no. Like I'm not gonna say Batman and I'm not gonna say Inception. Proceed to see if a knock. Okay. So it's a great answer. Right. I'm

Rogers. I agree with Hank for prestigious a great movie. We all agree. I haven't seen the procedure, but I will see. Now there are Rodgers is vouch for it. Really good. What's the anything else say? I suck the vaccine out of my body. It's like rival magician. It's Christian Bale Hugh Jackman or rival magicians. Great twists, great turns, great female cash. You guys are disrespecting this movie. I'm not, I don't expect it. I never see it. How can I disrespect the movie I haven't seen?

No, that's not, that's, he's not being coy. That's just like, okay, that's a good answer. I did, but I didn't know it. Like if you, if you pulled everyone what their favorite Christopher Nolan movie is, wouldn't you say the most popular response would not be the prestige? No, but it's not.

It doesn't mean it's over the long answer. But it's about two rival magicians. But I didn't know the movie, now I'll watch it. If it's a good answer, it's a good answer. I've never seen it. It's good. Who produced that? Christopher Nolan?

Your turn. Yeah, I thought it was Peter Turner, yeah. No, no, no, no, no. I don't think so. No, that thought it was Peter Turner and yet. Did he? No, I don't think so. No, I don't think so. No, that was the other one. He did a Chris Rinalg movie? No, maybe that was the greatest showman I'm thinking of.

Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. That's a great movie. That movie. Sorry, I got to watch the speech. Procedures is, yeah, if you haven't watched it, you should. I will.

Chris and Bill, Hugh Jackman. Jessica, Jessica Beale, right? Yeah. Okay. So yeah, that was a camp talk. What other camp talk do we have? A little bit of a liate. Patriots. Yeah, him and Mac Jones weirdly sitting on the same side of the booth. What's wrong with that? What do you mean? What's wrong with that? It's the most intimate way to eat. Bailey Zappi is equally ill. I'm in. What did you see that picture? You didn't think it was weird. Yes, you did. Okay. Thank you. I respect. That's all I needed to see here. That was weird. No, there were probably in like a big group that wasn't just

you see the picture. No, I didn't see it. I'm gonna look it up. Yeah. I mean, it wasn't just them. They're absolutely could be more context, but as I saw the picture, I was like, this is a weird look. If there's two dudes sitting on the same side of a booth with no one on the other side, obviously, there's people on other side. Where were they? What is this a magician trick? I don't know. There's a lot of the company's state. He's still there. Okay. And Dalvin Koch's going to Jets Camp. Everyone's chanting his name. So that'd be a problem. That would be a problem. Dream team. You see the picture? I'm looking it up right now. Yeah, let me know

we've got it. They look so happy. Yeah. For a second, I thought that was Ezekiel Elliott in the foreground. Yeah, I was like, difference table. Yeah. This is really strange. It looks like it looks like they're driving a car. They're both both face directly forward. Yeah, no one's on the other side. I don't see anybody on the other side. No. But that has nothing to do with it. No.

Contacts are relevant. Okay. There's no context. Contacts is irrelevant. Yeah, I agree. Weird picture. Contacts are relevant. The context you're creating is irrelevant.

I mean, I saw a picture, you show, if you see the picture, you're like, that's kind of weird. I'm sure creating is a relevant. I mean it's the I saw a picture He showed if you see the picture you're like that's kind of weird I'm sure there is more context. Yeah, Billy the weirdest part is that no one's sitting across from them. Correct. Yes Here I Billy on the same side with nobody else there. Yep Maybe that was the entire conversation That was what I was saying. We also kind of saws that they're using utensils. Just in general, because Mac Collins from the Falcons had, I think the quote of training camp so far, he said, I don't like soft people. I don't even like people who eat with utensils. Eat with your hands. That's what they're there for. Nice. Yeah. I like it. I don't even like people who eat with utensils. Eat with your hands. That's what they're there for.

Nice. Yeah, I like it. I like it. I might be done with utensils. Uh, Travis Kelsey got in a fight. Yep. Billy's gotten the dog out of them. That was my who's back.

Oh, sorry, shit. He might be, he might be soft. I love training camp fights. You think he's soft for getting to a fight? Yeah. To offer a apologizing. No, it did apologize. No, it's not soft.

Getting into it because he got hit once just like a little bit after the play and he got pissed off. Do you think that you talking shit to his face is like in the back of his head and so he's going to secure it. He's going to get some some stupid penalties this year. Shout out Cochrane. Yeah, he might. He might. Yeah. Okay. There he is. Also, we should say, show Hey, Otonani, we floored it with maybe being haters. When we recorded on Thursday, when he had a complete game, one hitter in the first game. And we're like, oh, he went 0 for 5, and then he hit two home runs in the second game.

And then he also, I think he might be good. I think he hit three home runs. It was so funny. In three consecutive at bat. Yeah. It was, he won the player of the game for both games in the double head. Mm-hmm. And for different positions.

And he's not being traded, apparently. Yeah. Sticking around. It looks like angels might be all in. Cubs might be buying, they beat up on some bad teams. They're buying. Bought off robbery. It was one of the greatest plays I've ever seen.

They were up one, bottom of the ninth, man on first, guy at a long fly ball, the center field, and he robbed him of the moment. Talked him, long fly ball the center field in the Rob Mohmond. Yeah, Rob. So we're gonna walk off home run. Rob them walk off robbery and in like the grass. Yeah, was electric was electric. Yeah, baseball's heat. No, boys, the summer. Shurs are dealt. Shurs are dealt Ranger. What, what was your favorite Mac Shurs or Metz moment? I was lost. He fell off a cliff and he got killed by the was it the Padres?

I think it's like every first inning where he gives up two homeruns. Oh, yeah, memes You want to want to give us your your final thoughts on Mac Sherser? Mac Sherser if I remember was also like the first sign that The Uncle Stevie's gonna be different Yeah, I was at the Padres playoff game last year. He's going to be different. Yeah. I was at the Padres Playoff game last year. I was watching him warm up. I was sitting right there. I was like, oh, I could probably hit off him right now.

And he went on to get licked. And it was brutal. Yeah, licked hard. He got licked. Yeah, licked. It was so bad. Yeah, that was bad. But that was the big signing right after Steve Cohen bought the team where you're like, this is different. We're the Yankees now. Yeah, we were all in. Yeah. Damn. So 100 games.

So you got a coo Acuni's brother though. Yeah. I don't know how that's going to work. Yeah. Always get the younger brother. Um, always workout. There was, There was some drama at the Rams camp. Yeah. Sony Michelle reported to work for one day and was like, fuck this. I actually hate playing football some retired. He's like, I forgot how hard football was. Yeah. Which is very relatable to do to show up to your first day and be like, no, not for me

this year. Yeah, I'm just going to quit. Eddie Goldman did that again for like the fifth time with the Falcons. Yeah. He was just like, yeah, I think I'm done. I love the Rams training camp shirts too. The ones that have like the massive block of text on the back, they say I wrote it down actually. It says mentally and physically tough players who play smart and love to compete. That's their slogan for training camp this year. That's a lot. That's a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Sean

McVeigh hit at the source, bro. Yeah. Speaking of, by the way, the Falcons Arthur Smith, like the hottest guy in the world. Yeah. Oh, the muscle. He's a stud. Yeah. I don't even remember what we said about his chin, but it was wrong. I'm not looking as Jenny more. I'm looking at those lips, baby. That flavor saying or just smooch him. Yep. Yeah. I mean, you might have a problem. This year, this player is wanting to kiss him too much. So someone in this room might have sent him a meme of Vito. What's his name? Last name is sprinos. Corleone. No. The fat guy and Johnny cakes. Oh, yeah. Someone might have sent him. Might have been me. But I said, this could be us. He looks really, really good. Yeah, he's got the stash.

I'm fat veto. But yeah, so I mean, there's just the clips that come out of every camp. I just get so excited. That dude from the Giants have the interception of training camp. One handed. He went Odele on an interception. Clash the metal. Yes.

So that's immediately I'm like, okay, the Giants defense is for real. Yes. Everybody out there because of that one play. football's back. We'll pull his back tank. Paul Paul's back. Paul Paul's back. Tank. It's great week. Paul Paul is back.

Kelly Greens. You want to say something about me? The Kelly Greens are so good. They are electric. There's not a person on the planet that can look for those jerseys. They're so the the oilers. Obviously, the Titans controversy aside, but the oilers, they couldn't even announce them right.

What a teaser. They got leaked. Oh, it did get leaked. Yeah. Get your shit together. You're coming back. The oilers and the Kelly Green Eagles jerseys Fuck throwbacks. Those should be the jerseys. Yeah, when it's the Eagles and you see them wearing, what does it max? They're midnight green. Midnight green. Which is such a preposterous name for a color. Like midnight green, there's no, that's not a thing is midnight green. It's just, it's dark green.

It's a worse green. But 11 p.m. green's my favorite. They look so much worse than the Kelly Green. Yes. Kelly Green should always have been their jersey. They're awesome. And even the Seahawks, the Seahawks throwback should just be their jersey.

I love the buck in your throwback, too. Yeah. Like, I know that we're now into this like, because they changed the helmet rule. So all these teams can now wear their old jerseys, but there are definitely some of these old jerseys are just far superior than the current ones. Just go to full time. Yeah, the Kelly grains are definitely one of them. They should just do a throwback year where everyone has to wear their throwbacks every game.

I like that a lot. Also, you everyone has where they're throwbacks every game. I liked that a lot. Also, you're allowed to rough the pastor again for a year. That would be fun. And the running back matters. Every running back gets paid for one year as if it was for 1992 bell cows. Yeah. We're in for it.

Okay. Let's do who's back. And we have our interview with Dan Campbell, the grittiest coach out there. And then we're gonna do the Mount Rushmore that might break up our relationship with some people on this podcast. But before we get to who's back, it is grit week. And we're gonna talk about our favorite, one of our favorite sponsors, Chevy and football families.

You got the Kelsey brothers, the Grant brothers, the Mannings, Harbors, the Harbors, Matthews, the Matthews. Well, guess what, there's a new family with unstoppable grit and they are the official partners apart might take family. And that is the Chevy Silverado ZR2 family, the first ever Silverado heavy duty, ZR2 joins the franchise to make Chevy ZR2 the only truck brand with a full lineup of trucks ready for wherever your off-road adventures take you with exclusive multi-matic

DSS V dampers rugged mud terrain tires and up to 14 available camera views the Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Silverado HD ZR2. That's my personal favorite, a family with commanding and unstoppable grit. I think we're on our grit week tour. We're going to maybe see some people from Chevy. Very excited for that because they are a loyal and great sponsor of ours. So head over to Chevy.com. Check out the Chevy Silverado and the family of Chevy ZR2s, the official trucks of grit week, Chevy ZR2s official trucks of grit week. So if you

are fan of grit week, fan of this show, and you're looking for a new truck, the Chevy ZR2s are the answer through and through the official trucks of grip week. Okay, who's back in the week Hank? Well, he's back in the week is aliens. Okay. Again, we got a zoom in on Billy's face on that. Billy just gave an all time high guy. Like, yeah, dude, uh, fucking aliens. They had like a congressional hearing last week or something,

and they basically just declassified that aliens are confirmed a thing. So what is this, what thing were they trying to cover up for Hunter Biden? I don't know, the guy who's question passed the bill. What was the, what was the, did Hunter Biden, did Joe Biden fall or did Hunter Biden have something on his laptop, at least have the alien, uh, unclassified.

I think it a different show. I think the whistleblower, the whistleblower just said what he said to the press in a congressional hearing. So if he lied, he technically, they made the guy who was spouting off, like, yo, show up. Yeah. Let's talk to you for real. Yeah. So my, he said that there was alien bodies recovered from crashes, different types of non-human intelligence was found, but it's the same dude and either this guy's a quack or he's covering something else up. I've got two theories on this.

One, what's going on with Obama's chef, right, Billy? Right, Billy? A question to be able to stuff. Well, no one's going on in your brain right now. Yeah, I tried to hold it back. This is a sports podcast. So my real theory behind this, I think I'm right by the way about the aliens. I think that they're saying that they have alien spacecraft and alien bodies. So that China is over there across the Pacific and they're like, you know, what the

fuck? The US has an alien spacecraft advanced technology and we don't and then China's afraid of us because they think that we've got all this shit that they don't have. China doesn't have nuclear subs. Is that true? They're lacking. I see those are,

so it's like a neighbor without fucking pegs on their off the air. Yeah, come on. You don't even get guys on the back of the hood. Yeah, they spent their whole budget on putting the nine dash line in the Barbie movie. Yeah, they can't even get, yeah, exact time. Big time, lacking.

All right, so, do we believe this guy? I do. Billy, he testified. Billy, no one ever lies under him. Never has said never never happened. Do you think aliens have big dicks? Out bum me out. I actually didn't have no dicks.

Yeah, I think like, okay. And that would be awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause it would suck if aliens were like, like, short little green guys, but just huge hogs. It's like, fuck. No, they come down totally asexual. Be like sex is overrated.

We're too intelligent for sex. So they'd be like the top G like you. The aliens are in cells. Well, I don't even think about sex. Ah, women fuck that. Just me and my boys. I like thinking that aliens are real because then it really is like,

there's no reason to do anything. Cause like within five years, like the aliens are gonna just come up and fuck us up. So I mean, hey, it's just going on vacation. That was a vacation. That was a vacation, Bully. I know. It's like, Bully, what's going to get to the end of the summer

and just be like, put aliens, guys. What's the point of even working? Dude, I think the aliens are from Earth, bro. Oh, really? I think they're from the bottom of the ocean. Kong, Kong, movie. No, no. Yeah, our aliens versus predator.

No, I'm just saying, like, the, like, the Earth is really large and we haven't really, like investigated most of the oceans and most of the... You should try. Yeah, you should get on a sub. I will. Wait, so Hank, you are, you're now saying what's the point of doing anything

because aliens are gonna kill us all? It's just like of all of your vacations. I'm like, patients are good one. No, it's more like this one. It's more like, you know, like, I would have called you a pussy for global warming, but aliens, that's cool.

Yeah, like starting a family, it's like, I don't want to have kids. Like aliens are going to come and kill them all. Yeah. I don't like, I'm just going to, I'm just going to keep doing my thing. Yeah. I like that, Hank.

Okay. Is that what you tell chicks to? It's like, nah, sorry, you can't. We can't do this. There might be aliens. Hopefully, why would you pay taxes if aliens are gonna kill us all? Well, I don't wanna be in jail

when the aliens kill us all. Right, I don't know when they're gonna kill us. I think they're coming five years. It could be five years, it could be five days. So stop paying your taxes. But it could be five years. You would feel like a real idiot though if you paid your taxes in the next day, boom, aliens, yeah, all I'm saying is if I don't mean to, I'm not trying to be in jail.

The aliens, if they come before football season starts are really, that's fucked up. Yeah. That's messed up. Just let us get through the next. What if they're really fast and they play football? That would rock. That would be sick. I'll, I'll Davis would come back from the dead draft and put it in the role. What if, what if they all became running bad? So you guys don't believe this guy at all? Um, sure. I don't really know. I don't, we kind of sort of got about the first time that he came out with a whistleblower ship because like an hour later Taylor Swift broke up with her boyfriend. So everybody just talked about that instead. I really think that we're just trying to make China spend money on investigating their own aliens

that don't exist. Yeah, I'm also a big believer in just, there's a lot of shit that could bum you out or get you to the point where you're like, what's the point of life? I just try to ignore all that. Just keep on trucking, keep on moving forward. Because you really could find anything in the news

to essentially put you to a screeching hall and be like, why should I do this? Why should I do that? Do you guys think that aliens have music? Yeah, we sent them that. Did we send them? We sent out like Chuck Barry. I think the Ramones have some baits. They'll enter some shit. Yeah, but like it do they have their own music, their own alien music? They come to earth with jams. That would be sick. That would be sick too. Yeah, you can't let that shit get you down, Hank. It wasn't gonna be down. No, but you're like, we're all gonna die in five years.

That's pretty depressing. I'm just exciting. Oh, no. Okay. Yeah, look every day like it's your last. Live boss. Yeah. Okay, PFT.

My, who's back is John Mechie. John Mechie, who? Receiver from University, Alabama. He got drafted in the second round by the Texans last year. He got leukemia, missed all of last year. He's back in training camp. He looks awesome. I've always loved Mechie.

I thought that he was, when he was at Alabama, I was like, this dude should actually be drafted in the first round. He has the crispest routes. It's so fun to watch this do play. I'm just saying, I think the Texans on offense This you're gonna be way better than we think I like to drown. I'm a Stroud boy. We're gonna cook back I don't know. It's a good question. Is he on the Texas? Sure sure Cowboys Cowboys shame there. There we go That's a great one. Well, no, I think I think the Texans offense. I love I like CJ Stroud

You either have to like put yourself going into training camp, going to the regular season. Are you Bryce Young fan or you CJ Stroud fan? Right. I think I'm a Stroud boy. Okay. But, but Metschy looks awesome. I'm pumped for Metschy.

I'm excited that he's back. Yeah, that is huge. It's also just like the perfect time to watch highlights of guys that can't be like, oh my god, he's going to be incredible. I saw that video of Calvin Ridley after Zay Jones ran around Calvin Ridley's like looks like he's 20 times faster. So yeah, I will get got by a lot of these videos. I'm getting got every day. Yeah, every single day. Every day. It's not just some fields that are one from like 50 into a net and then Jordan Love missed like a 10 yard pass

over the middle and I was like, Puh! So I just saw him watching, hit a net and then Jordan love miss like a 10 yard pass over the middle. And I was like, so I just saw him watching hit a net in stride. Five yards. That's exact. Wilson's no look. Nope. Nope. Toss. I did not look. We're talking about starters. I know, but it was a bit Chris. Okay. My who's back at two. One is actually just in fields. He has been. He is upgraded no longer a vegan. Now a pescatarian. So I feel like we're making progress Billy. Yeah, this is good progress Get some fish protein. Yeah, some fish oils. Yeah, it also is just I don't think there's ever been anyone who's gone vegan to pescatarian and Stop the pescatarian that means you miss me you miss me you're coming back He's probably eating like fried fish to yeah, you're taking it because he wants him. He wants nuggets. He wants to upgrade. Yeah, he'll be back. He'll be back. My other

Arinas. Arinas. Fatal fields. Paintball courses seem to be only open on the weekends. We need one during the weekdays, so if you know someone who owns a paintball course and wants to open it for us, we will give them some nice shout outs in the video. And we're looking for paintball course.

Of course. Yeah, and some course like within, I would would say 45 minutes of Cleveland would be would be perfect That allows fully automatic Sure, I was fully on my preference. Yeah, we're gonna make a paintball video that's gonna fucking be awesome revolutionary paintball So the yeah revolutionary war. Oh, just like one shot at a time. I would just one shot every 10 minutes That would be awesome. Bullying out. Powdered wigs. Yeah. Flinched in on the field against the others face each other.

Oh, we're not even a pussy. Okay, we're doubling down. We're on every bridge right before you see it. Yeah, exactly. Billy, you should have a dossier on for the last show that you record. And you should just let it let all the takes that were too hot. Oh, we're really fast though. Yeah, yeah. Other than loose.

Yeah, you better. Um, but my other who's back is Zack Wilson doing no look. Yeah, who could be Aaron Rogers? Yeah What is Billy? I'm gonna be I had I had what's wrong with his brain I had a bunch, but then we just brain. Okay. Well his face Well, a lot today. Yeah, dude a lot of banjo all the did you get to eat the wings before everyone?

Yeah, yeah, it's cool. Oh, by the way, I fucked up. I fucked up. I I've realized that posting a picture of chicken wings that you just ate online is along the same lines of posting a picture of a steak that you you've made yourself because they will find all the top meat in there.

Yeah. So next time I do this, I'm the wings are going to look like they got run over by a lawn board going 30 miles an hour. I'm going to post the worst fucking wing eating picture of all time. Yeah. Just to piss off wing Twitter. Yes.

Remember the guy who ran the fastest 40 yard dash all time? John Ross. He gave him an island, right? He was a guy because he ran Nike's not in a deed. I still believe in him. You know, he was that an island, right? He was an island. No, he ran Nike's not in Adidas. I still believe in him. You know, that was stupid, but man, at Washington. Yeah, yeah. He was so fast.

Too fast for football. Anyone who does something that elite, I will always be like, where's John Ross these days? He could probably still play. Take the top off the defense. Hemim just run fucking deep. He was at the Bengals and he was the Giants and then he was at the chief's camp and

He retired. Okay, too fast football, but you know how they were talking about those GPS Tracers that said that I'm feeling was the fastest guy Yeah, yeah, so I actually think that like this guy wasn't that fast when you made it like the average speed He was just super fast straight line Yeah, if you look at all the routes the average speed, he was just super fast straight line. Yeah. If you look at all the routes he was running, like he was a gadget guy, they just made him run really fast and straight line.

And that was the only thing you did. That sounds pretty easy. Also a very big part of receiving that people kind of overlook sometimes is being on a catch the ball. Also stopping. Yes, stop. But catching is very important.

Fast guys do have to catch. I actually want to know the guy that goes from fast to dead stop the fastest. Yeah. Who's the fastest guy at stop rig? You think stopping is fucking he is he is very very fast. Stopping. Yeah. When it comes back for a ball, fuck yeah. Deceleration. Pause. I saw Odell Beckham do a fake back shoulder catch. That was sick. Yeah. The ball was in mid-air and he has a backwards, the cornerback bit on it and then Odell kept running, made the catch.

I see that, I see a play like that. I'm like Raven Superbowl. Yes. I have the Ravens for the Superbowl. I've bought into the hype. It won't burn me at all. Uh, okay. Should we get to our interview Dan Campbell? Let's do it. Coach will get you to run through a brick wall. Pft. What is Dan Campbell brought you by? Uh, Dan Campbell is brought to you by our great friends at

Coolers Light. I'm drinking one right now actually the mountains are blue blue blue. Thank you got one You got one you got one cracked open bill's on number six. He's doing great. Everyone thinks about the day they'll eventually get to retire and enjoy all the freedom that comes with it. But who says we have to wait decades before we get to kick back and chill out? Aliens might come tomorrow. Yep.

Then it's course, course light national holiday. Backs. Take advantage of that free will. Spend the summer chilling like a retiree. And pair those moments with course light. The beer that's made to chill, it's the beer that's made to chill.

Perfect for all your summer plans or lack thereof, no judgment here. I love Courselite. Here's a sound of me drinking Courselite. That is so good. This summer chill like you're retired with course light, get

course light delivered straight to your door, drizzle your instant carpet going to course like dot com slash take, celebrate responsibly, chords brewing company golden Colorado. And now, here's Dan Campbell. Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest. It is head coach, the Detroit Lions Dan Campbell. And we do this to start every grit week. The first question sponsored by BIC Easy Rinse Razors.

Say goodbye to clogged razors with new anti-clog tech. Use code 20 grit, 20 grit for 20% off on Amazon. That's code 20 grit. So first question the big question What does grit mean to you? grit is um, I think it's when you have the ability to overcome adversity in any situation, you know, the ability to push through it mentally, physically to overcome and I think that's what grit is in that show.

That's a good answer. Yeah, that was your big message to the team last year. Remember, at the first episode of Hard Knocks, you walked out there in Giant Grip Mural. I think I said it a little different, but yes, I did. Yeah, yeah, you dropped a couple of fucks in there. You could say that it's a fuck shit. Fuck shit, fuck shit.

Well, I told myself, as of this morning, I'm going to cuss anymore. Oh, this morning? Yes. Is that something you tell yourself every morning? Yes, I do. Yeah, fuck that. Today's the day.

That was your message at the start of Hardock. I remember you walking in, I immediately wanted to run through my TV because I was like, yeah, okay, I'm pumped up right now. Is that the message this year? It always will be. I mean, that's what this was built off of two years ago, man. I wanted us to, that was gonna be part of our identity

as grit and we're built off of that, man. The ability and that's kind of where the, you know, it doesn't matter where we have to go to play, who we're playing, what the circumstances are, the conditions, it doesn't matter. And there's no excuses. Let's line up and play. Yeah, I think you said you'll beat anybody's ass ass including somebody that has one butt cheek and three toes. That seems

like a little bit of an unfair fight. One ass cheek and three toes. Yeah, yeah. I swear. And it was one ass cheek three toes and I will beat your ass. It wasn't good. I'm going to beat the ass to somebody with one ass cheek and three toes. What I meant was I have one ass cheek and three toes. And you are full. You've got, and I will still be your ass. Both of you are ass. That's what I meant by that. I'm glad I could clear that out. So year three, year one, obviously,

not the best record, year two, big step forward, miss the playoffs, week week 18 year three. What have you learned in the last two years that you're like, this is, this is what's going to make me the best head coach for this football. Yeah, I think, man, there's always those, when, when you get in those game situations over a two year period, man, and, uh, um, you know, and it's just, I think in gamegame flow, understanding where you're at, the best approach. I mean, because here, sometimes what happens is,

I mean, you kind of have the, here's, I'll give you an example, you feel like you kind of have the game in your hands. And, and, man, if you go about, if you'll just back off a little bit, there's a real good chance that your probability of winning goes way up. But to do that, that means you're back on off the, you know, you're pulling back on the reins a little bit. And that's hard, you know, because there's always you do that, then you back off and all of a sudden,

a few things happen, they give up, you get a shot play, there's a turnover, whatever. And now you got, no, okay, we're not backing off rings anymore, we gotta go guys. Then to get them to go again, that's not always the easiest thing. And I think just figuring out what that flow is, and I think that's us as a team, but myself too, got much better,

particularly the late half of that season last year was, man, when we got in the fourth quarter, the ability to control the game and finish games out, I think was real big. And that's something I feel like I've learned over a three year period gotten better at. Yeah, with the game come to you a little bit. Yes, absolutely.

Before guys on the sidelines were holding their fours up at the start of the four. I think that had a pretty big, does that have any impact? I was really good at that. I'd say, well, we did that all the time in high school. And I don't know if I ever did that in the pros, but we did in college too. We did the old four I don't know I don't know if I've seen anybody on our sideline do that one

I'm reminded my mind. I know it's for guys Yeah In my experience personally, it's usually the worst players of the first ones to do Yeah, I was up on the field, running off the air. Let's go, boys. Just shows they're aware. Yeah, exactly. You know, the other situation. Yeah, nothing else to pay attention to, but the clock at that point.

Yeah. Uh, so this year, you're kind of coming into it with a little bit of a different setup for your team. Last year, you could easily motivate guys or not easily, but you could say your motivation is nobody believes in you. Right? Like this is your back against the wall.

This year, the lines have expectations. Like you guys have a great roster. You put together a great second after your season, as you said last year. So people are expecting big things out of you. Do you motivate the same way? Or did you have to make some adjustments in this office? No, I still think, I think it's very much the same,

just in this regard. I understand what's out there. And look, we've got expectations for ourselves. We do. And we should be a better team. That's what all this is about, man. Every year you're in it and you're building the way Brad and I have and the players that we have, you know, you're developing. And we expect to be a better team than we were last year.

We fully expect that. And we've got the same goals as most teams do. We had we wanted to win this division. We want to get in the playoffs. We want to make noise. We want to win Super Bowl all that. But I think for us, what's interesting, we know what's out there. But yet we haven't done anything.

We haven't, not like that. And so like to me, the message stays the same in the regard of no, we didn't win the division last year year. We got to earn that so to me we're still We're still in the outside looking in and that's what keeps us hungry man. We got to go get it. Yeah bears won it in 2018 whatever I'm bear sense. Thank you big cat. Yeah, I just want I mean, you know Cometics yeah, but I do actually want to bring up we keep going after this. We're going to Buffalo Yeah, I thought you said you're going back to Oh back Chicago then to Okay, yeah, so

Week 18 you guys are eliminated Yeah, was there ever a doubt that you're gonna go out there and not like play the The Packers tough and try to end their season because I want to thank you for that That was beautiful watching Aaron Rogers throw an interception to end his Packers career. But was there ever even a doubt like, hey, we're out, like how are we gonna get the guys up? Or was it like, no, this is next year starts right now. No, there was never a doubt.

And quite frankly, Big Cat, I would tell you this. I would have been shocked had we come out there and laid an egg. Right. That's how well I knew this team and the guys that we have on this team. I really, I believe with everything in my heart, no matter what was gonna happen, because I felt like if they did,

then man, there's blood in the water. All we got to do is win and we get in. And if not, it was gonna piss them off. Yeah. Like, if it's not us, then they're not going. And that was the mentality they took, you know? And that tells you you got the right guys and I got the right coaches.

Yeah, I mean, it was a great, it was a great way. You don't see that very often where a team has nothing to play for and they play like that. Back to last year, start kind of slow. I think it was right before the by-week where you guys lost pretty soundly, I think to maybe to the Patriots. Was there a moment at all where you had any doubt, were like, am I losing this team a little bit? Or were you like, no, we're right there. We just have to finish some things here. Yeah. No, I never felt that.

I never even felt close to that. I knew that I knew the guys were still in it. I knew we hadn't lost the locker room or guys were starting to question what because honestly, there was, we were playing pretty good offensive football for most of the year. And defensively, we were playing pretty good in flashes in moments, and then, oh my God, we give up something. It was a lack of communication. There was an MA, and they were crushing us.

And so as bad as it looked, and as bad as it was, it's not like I never felt like we were far away and the coaches knew that and honestly the players knew that. They knew if we just clean up one or two things, we were this, we were literally one play away from winning these games instead of losing. And that's what we were able to do. We were able to flip the script. Our defense, we were much cleaner, man.

We calm things down, the communication was better. We started getting turnovers and we started taking care of the football and offense. Yeah, yeah, I mean, hand up, I was wrong. I was like, oh, lines are gonna be bad again this year. But I'm also really dumb, so I think whatever has previously happened to you. Don't say that about yourself.

It's not true. It's the truth. It's the truth. If you lose week one, I'm like, all that team stinks. I mean, I'm overreacting that team stinks. You know what I mean? I'm overreacting. I'm overreacting. Yeah, we overreact everything.

So, but yeah, it was very impressive because it is that fine line of like, when things aren't going well, our guys still buying in. And I have to imagine that's one of the toughest parts of the job is getting everyone to stay on the task, even if you aren't getting the results on the field. Yeah, look, of course it is, but it's the same token.

Man, they're looking at me. They're looking at our coaches. And if we believe, if we believe in what we're telling them, I'm standing up there and they know I believe it, then they believe it. And they did. And I just go back to this that you can never do what we've been able to do over their two-year period.

I mean, that was 21 was a struggle. And then, man, you start one in six like we did last year without a staff that I've got. I've got an unbelievable staff now. I believe it with everything. And those guys have done a great job. And they're the biggest reason why we're able to get through some of these hard moments, adverse moments,

and get to where we're at right now. Yeah, one extra edition that maybe you should think about. You talked to us last time on part of my take. You said that you had considered getting a pet lion on the sidelines. I did. Did you have you had any further conversations about bringing a live life life? Well, I would say that Sheila was, she had no problem with it, but the league apparently frowns on this stuff.

Roger Gidell, John Gidell. No fly. I'm not going to point out Roger on this. I'm just going to say that the league frowns on that. Let's just say that. Okay. Nice though to have a lion sitting behind Jack Fox being like, you better, you better punt that fuck. It does add a little, a little scare tack. It does. It's a little extra motivation. Yes, it does. So, so you guys are opening up the season this year. Kind of crazy to think the lines are planning against the Super Bowl champions week one.

Does that, like there's a condensed clock a little bit that way, right? So do you feel it's, how is preparation different knowing that you guys are gonna be under the spotlight? There's a night game. I don't know if it's any different than a normal year in regards to how you prepare. I certainly think there's, you know, there is, there, there's urgency in every

year, but to know that man, you're, you're facing the champ, man, you better be on, you better be on your, on your game and all the little things, man, as fast as we can become detailed in what we do, because I always believe early in the season, it's not the teams that make the most plays. It's one that make the least amount always believe early in the season, it's not the teams that make the most plays, it's the one that make the least amount of mistakes early in the year. And as you go, then it becomes the teams that make more plays. So, you know, the faster that we can all be on the same page in preparation,

the better off we're gonna be. Now, we got to start three days early, so did they. I love the fact that we're gonna have the giants come in here for two praxis, then we're gonna have have Jacksonville coming in here the week after. So, and I just feel like we're going to get enough variety, enough different looks, enough intensity that I'd like to believe. Man, it it'll really, it can propel us into Kansas City. Yeah, the Thursday night game to open it up. That's another one where it's like, okay, stand alone game, we will overreact to whatever has that game.

You guys won your triple chance. No, I get it. I get it, I know that. Yeah, and even if it's a close loss, maybe still Superl champs. No, I got you. Yeah, I got you. I'm saying that's not what if we lose,

then we don't belong there, right? We shouldn't have ever been in the game. Yeah, we'll see. Yeah, maybe like a three point loss. I'm like, yeah, they're probably still Superl champs. I got six point loss then. Then I'm like, maybe, we'll see. Yeah, maybe like a three point loss. I'm like, yeah, they're probably still Superl champs. All right. Six point loss then. Then I'm like, maybe playoffs and then anything

double digits. I'm like, this team stinks again. I love your honor. Yeah. I mean, that's how it's really is how you can listen to the episode after that. And you'd be like, yep, they were true to their words. Do you watch any sports television, any like recap shows

or are you going to tune in on Friday morning if you guys win or lose in that game? Do you pay attention to anything that's out there? No, I don't. I don't. And because that, I've always been that way because I know it's kind of like what you guys say. It's, man, this league is so great. And what's being said, every, we live in the world of gray and it's not black and white.

So you win, man, there is so much hype and there's so much You get padded on the back and and man, you got to be careful because you can buy into that and that's not reality Just like you don't win and you're reading that man. You can lose confidence And so I just stay out of that man and I live in the moment and I just go off the tape and what the coach is saying because I that's I you got to be careful with that stuff. Yeah, yeah. So you mentioned the giants coming in for a joint practice. Brian Dable, great year last year.

You coached with him in Miami. He told a story that when you were interviewing for the tight end coaching job, you spent half the interview out of breath because you were smashing tables and chairs. True or false? All right. True, I was out of breath because you were smashing tables and chairs. True false. All right. True, I was out of breath.

True, I used chairs. I used chairs. I don't know how much I was. It's a wrestler, I used some chairs. I don't know if I was smashing, you know, the chairs into the walls and there was holes everywhere. I think he exaggerated on that. But yeah, okay, look, most of it was true.

All right, most of it was true. Pasadet, yeah. It was unbelievable. It was the best. Look, Dave's, man, he is a bright, bright coach, man. It was, I was fortunate to be able to work under him as the OC. I learned a ton from him, but he's unbelievable, dude.

But yeah, and Tony Sprano was a head coach, got rest of soul, but, you know, he had said, he had told Dave all, hey man, I got a guy I want you to just interview him. And, man, you know, I'd come, I was fresh out of playing. Right. I had just really retired the year before. And then I was on staff with Tony as a kind of assistant whole line coach.

And so, that next year, year 2011 he gets the job. And so he asked him, hey man, why don't you let him interview? Why didn't have the packet? I didn't have all these, I mean, I don't know how you're supposed to interview as a coach. So all I know is I'm just going to go in there and go through it. I'm just like I was a player, right? Here's the technique, here's the chair, here's the good, here's the play, and then running routes and running around the table

and moving to the top. So I just demoed everything. I just demoed the whole thing. And then he was, he was, so I could tell, he was trying to keep from laughing. And of course I'm dripping with sweat. I guess I'm out of breath, you know? And then he would throw, all right,

what happens with that chair? Back that chair up 10 yards. Now how you doing? You know? Yeah, it. Yeah. Yeah. It was awesome. For chair credit, he also said that the next morning you were in the gym at 6 a.m.

Deadlift. So you were actually power clean. Yeah, power clean. Yeah. Yeah. So you were ready to go still. Well, that's a great story. I mean, you know, I would imagine the interview for the head coach and job here, maybe a

little less sweaty. It was the same thing. I started with a zoom, so I was just showing she all these moves. I was demo, no. No. Yeah, I was much more prepared to interview as a head coach. And I had all my ducks in a row.

And it was, yes. And then you worked with Sean Payton for a while. I did. And there was just a story that came out the other day. And in that story, it talked about how he likes, he's got a video editor on staff that makes all these motivational films for him. Like he edited, I think like a car driving off a cliff.

I know that he used to play like the video of the rats getting, have their next snap by Maus Draps. Yes. What was the one thing about motivating people you learn from Sean? Do you do any of that stuff? I do, I do. I'd like to change it up. I don't have as many of those little tr learn from Sean, do you do any of that stuff? I do, I do. I'd like to change it up.

I don't have as many of those little trinket videos, some of those things, but Sean was always great in doing those things. And a lot of that coach Parcells was that way too. But look, Sean, I just go back to this, I was Sean, everything, man. I learned more under Sean. I spent more time under Sean Payton

than any other coach in this league as a player and a coach. I mean I was with him for eight years out of my 11 as a player and then I coached under him for five. So I learned so much as a player and I learned a ton of what I am as a coach from him. But yeah, he was always that, you know, Sean now he's off the chain. He'll do some stuff. Yeah. But, but he gets your attention, you know, even gas cans and the lockers. Yeah. People that I told the story that you were talking about the mouse traps.

We, the players came in when I was at New Orleans, and, you know, I don't know, we'd just won six in a row, you know, some more five or six in a row. I think this was 2017, and we're playing an opponent who is perceived as a lesser opponent than the ones we just were able to be, that nobody thought we could be, and we come in. I mean, there are mouse traps hanging from the ceiling. I don't know how many there are.

I mean, it looks like thousands of them, and I don't even know who did it, who had them put up, but they've got him up there and there's some cheese on the floor and everything else and it was that whole build on taking cheese. Yeah, yeah. All right, so very important question, in terms of motivation, you said,

I think it was two years ago, when you guys lost the egos, you said you buried the tape. Did you actually bury the tape? Yeah, AG took it out there. Okay, good. Thanks a lot. You took it out there and every one of the players had an opportunity to just throw a little dirt on it. Yeah.

Yeah, it was literally, it's buried out there somewhere right behind the facility here. Okay, all right. I'm so happy because I was worried for a second because I think, I think actually Tony Spirano, who we mentioned earlier, he buried a football at one point. Yeah, literally buried a football. I think he did that when he took over his inner on my, at theiders. Yes, the Raiders. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, and look, here's what's funny about it, right? It buried the tape. Well, who has a tape anymore, right? Right. Everything is digital now. So we like literally had to have our video, video department. They kind

of put it on. I guess it was more of a CD, if you will, or a heart external hard drive. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I just like, all right. We've got it there and now let's take it out and buried. So it wasn't like the old school. You know, you buried a computer. I love that. I'm so happy you said that because I was worried you were just saying metaphorically you buried the tape. No, you literally buried the tape.

We literally did. That sounds great. Good, yeah. I remember when you were in Miami and the dantallica days make everybody wear black practice uniforms. You remember that? Oh, of course. Oh, we did.

This is the stuff that we remember. Yeah, power stance. Of course, we remember that. Are you able to play any Metallica here? Or do you let somebody else take control of this? No, we've got what I've done is I let the person that we have that runs the music for us. I let, they handle it, but it goes through our players.

So I let our players obviously are most veteran guys get to decide what's out there in practice, but I told them once a day I just want, just give me one. That's all I ask. Just give me one Metallica song somewhere in there and we're good and everything else belongs to the players. Yeah, I like that. All right, so a little weird question.

You run hot. You see, you're on record as running hot. I run hot as well. Yeah. Ideal sleeping temperature. If you could pick it, because the article that they had in the athletic was like, your wife has to go to bed in full sweats and like a parka.

But if you're like on the road, and you could get it to any temperature. Yeah, on the road, if I can get it, I mean, normally the lowest you can get is 55 in a hotel. Right. I got it at 55. I get it as low as I can get it at home with Holly. Yes, she does.

She wears the sweats. Then you're looking at 65 is about as far as I can go with it. Okay. 68 and I got the fan on full tilt. Yep. I got the chili pad underneath. You know, I got that cranked down in 60s. So if you could, you'd be in the 40s if you could. Man if I could, I would. I love the mediocre, yeah. I would, yes.

You're first move when you get, when you check in the hotel, you go straight for that thermostat. I do. Man of people, yeah. That's the right point. It's the thermostat and then pull the sheets because I hate the tucked in sheets. No doubt a rip them. Yes, no doubt. Yeah. You want your feet to feel sheets. No doubt a rip them. Yes, no doubt. You want your feet to feel free.

I don't want them hanging out, but I want them free. Yes, exactly. Otherwise your toes get all bunched up in there. It hurts. Okay. But no, that, that, yeah, you're talking about the, here's my, man, I can sweat all day outside. I got no problem.

He, humidity, I don't care, but it's like, man, when I come inside, I don't want to come inside and drip with sweat. Yeah, you know, it's not my deal Especially sleeping man. I don't want to sleep hot. Yeah, I run hot as well I see yeah I have just like not even a blanket just a cover like a sheet. Yes run hot. I hear you. Yeah, yeah What about? How many how many pints of talent you are you eating these days? I actually I'm back down Because you were doing what two to three a night? Yeah, I'm I'm down to one and that's not every night right now

Believe it or not. It's not because of any like well, I just need to watch my what I just I don't know I haven't craved to in a while so I just I'm down to one and and no you know I'll go three nights in a row and sometimes I I don't go for another two nights or something So we're about coffee? How many cups do you have today? Yeah, well, as of right now, I'm only two. I haven't had anything post-practice this morning though. I had whatever the big venties and two shots in each.

Like, I haven't changed that routine. I brought you some coffee. Oh, you do? Yeah, I have a coffee company. So right there, I've bought you everything. Beans, grounds, whole bro,, hats, just say coffee on it. I love it. I got it all for you.

I love it, I appreciate it. Yeah, I knew you were coffee. I didn't get you guys anything. No, your presence is a pressing job. Yeah. I do love the attention to detail, even the coffee warmers here have, or the hand coolers have grit on them.

You like that? And I saw some guy outside, he was wearing a massive chain that had grit and big letters at the bottom. I didn't know if that was team issued or if that was something that he made and brought from home. No, I haven't said was that a player? Was that a thing? I think it was in the friends and family section. Oh, okay. I got to find that. I know. You should do like a, as we have not doled out like grit chains or anything. That's not a bad idea. Yeah. And say like the turnover chain film study. I like to.

Tuesday you're watching you win the grit, the grit chain for this week. so like the turnover chain film study I like Tuesday you're watching you win the grit the grit chain for this week I like the great I do about yeah, you can use that one You get a whole great economy going great if we do that. I'm gonna give you credit for that Yeah, we go. Hey me and greek coin. I've got I've got a segment that we do with every Interview that we have it's questions from a third grader So I talked to miss Joyce's third grade class in dripping spring's Texas, and they had three questions for you. You know dripping springs?

Yeah, down in central Texas. Yep, yep, yep. First question was, do you like cats or dogs? Dogs. Good answer. Good answer. Good answer. Second question, this is from Brian. He's eight.

What's your favorite food? Favorite food, probably rib-eyed steak. Oh, that's another great answer. Third question is from Jenny. She's also eight. Do you think that St. Anger was unfairly maligned by critics who don't understand the sonic importance of the album? It's a pretty good question. It's a great question. It's an eight-year-old man. Absolutely. I do. Yeah. That's a great question. Yeah it is. I don't know if she asked it, but I don't know if she's really. No she's really. Yeah, yeah.

That's a outstanding question. That's a totally real thing we do. People speak on St. Anger I guess. Yes. That's outstanding. Do you listen to a rage too? No. Oh, so just Metallica.

What's the second? Like what's your second favorite? Um, honestly, I'm Metallica and then I'm like Classic Rock. Okay. To be honest with you. And I love Classic Country, you know. Those are kind of mine. So I don't, I kind of, it's just, I've got this, you know, I don't know.

Metallica's just, I've always been partial to the album. It speaks to you. It's its own genre kind of. For raking Classic Rock, what's your favorite classic rock bands? Leonard Skinnerd. Yes. Correct. Leonard Skinner would definitely be up there. Number two. Number two, probably journey. Number three, forerner. Yeah. You know, it's about as far as I'm out right now. It's a good list. Yeah. I've been learning Freiburg for the last three years. I like Dyer's Dreads. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we just say it again. I've been learning free bird for the last three years. I like dyer straights. Yeah.

You know, we just say it again. I've been learning free bird for the last three years. Really? I'm about four years. I haven't, I've peaked at 75%. But maybe you could motivate me to finally finish free bird. I would have to be with you in the moment while you're doing it. Okay.

I think. I have any help and I can't guarantee I could, but I much better than just over the fall on our Zoom or you know. What about like, I wake up in the morning and I'm like guarantee I could but I much better than just over the phone or zoom or What about like I wake up in the morning and I'm like I really don't want to practice that same song again. I can do that call me Okay, yeah, yeah, you don't mean that yeah, yeah, this isn't a question. It's just a statement. We love Jared golf Yeah, absolutely. I love Jared golf. We love you. I'm glad you love Jared. I love Jared golf. Yeah, absolutely. I love Jared. God. We love you. I'm glad you love Jared. I love Jared. God. We love him. I'm glad you love him. We love him so much that we'll let you have him. Thank you very much. Yeah. See what we did there. I like. Yeah. He'll come back. What's it? What's it like coaching your son, Jack? You know, I, well, look, there's times where I'm really proud

of him that he's part of my lineage, but then there's other parts that I don't claim him. That's just part of being a rookie. And he's got a growth. I learned, you know? It's a small part of drafting. You're like, let's move him up one spot. He's got a good last name.

Yeah. I hope that we can get the jersey. That's what everybody thought. And it took me a while before I was like, maybe I need to check see if he is kin to me. We've been scouting him for about two months before it even dawned on me. I wonder if he's somewhere down the line. He's not though.

I got an actual football question here for you. In the draft, you also took Gibbs a running back, right? And there's been a lot of talk about running backs being kind of a devalued position over the last, what, 10, 12 years. You saw something and that made you want to grab them in the first round. What is it about Gibbs that you think is, is special enough to warrant that pick? For a college player, you know, we knew he was smart. Like he was very smart and he was versatile. Those two things, like you can see the athletic ability, like everybody knows what he ran, you know, you see what he run, he's an explosive, fast athlete,

but then you see a guy who can read the wide zones, he can run some downhill runs, and then man, he's a factor in the past game. The routes out of the back field, we think there's more to him, potentially outside, as kind of a slide outside receiver, any smart, because you can't do all that unless he is smart. And that's why, like, A.K.,

that's one of the reasons A.K. is the player that he's become, is he's got these things in his body in versatility, but he's smart, man. And like, you can ask him to do a ton of different jobs because he can grasp it. And that's what intrigued us about him. And look, he's one of the best players in the draft. This was not the strongest draft class or, you know, draft that there's been in a number of years. So we were all about, let's get the best players that we can get. Yeah. All right,

I have one last question. It's a robot question., rhoback.com, use code take, 20% off your first purchase, joggers, shorts, QZips, polos, everything, rowback.com promo code take, 20% off. All right, my last question, and feel free, if you wanna cry, you can cry. Just talk about football. Just talk about football.

Yeah, just talk about football. Yeah, look, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,. No look. Here's what I'd say. No, I don't just crown command It I have to get I have to think about it just when it goes it goes But look, I here's what I'd say about football man when I think about football this Man we anybody who's who's been able to play this sport at any level man when you're a kid Anybody who's been able to play this sport at any level, man, when you're a kid, you know, middle school, high school, college, you're fortunate enough to go to the pros, man, to me, we owe everything to this game. And the game speaks for itself.

And it's not about what this group of people have done for this game or this group of people have done for this game and how this has made this game better. The game speaks for itself and the only thing we can do is mess it up. And to me, don't ever disrespect this game because it is, in my opinion, it's the greatest it's the greatest sport that you can possibly play. Man, it's a team sport. And you there's blood, there's sweat, there's tears. And everybody's got to be,

got to be going the same way to have success. One guy is out of the boat or he's not rolling and it'll mess everything up. And I just think it's not for everybody. But, but I just, I respect the hell out of it. And to me, we, we owe it as players, coaches, anybody that's associated with to give it everything you've got because it is an unbelievable game, man. You're about to cry. I don't, I just get emotional about the game. I love it.

I mean, that's, it makes me so pumped when you talk about football. There was that moment in hard knocks where you had that like the end of hard knocks and it was like, this guy cares so much and I love watching people who care that much about something. It's like, it's, it's something that you just like, you draw it off somebody like that energy

is something special. You have. Well, I don't know, but I appreciate it. It look, it's, I love the game, man. And I love people that give it all they have to it too. Yeah, yeah. Well, coach Campbell, yeah. Best of luck this year, except against the Bears.

And now here's Mount Rushmore. Okay, boys. Mount Rushmore of recurring guests. This is going to be, this might not be

the smartest thing we've done. I'm excited about it though because it is, it feels like some feelings will get hurt. There's stakes on the line for this. It's like three levels of feelings too, because it's the recurring guests that will see this and anyone who gets left off, it is us having to pick our favorite recurring guests. And then there's pressure on the AWLs. They vote for their favorite grouping of recurring guests. Yeah, you can really piss some people off.

Yeah, so this is all around gonna be interesting. We're also back to, we're all, we're all, every Mount Rushmore is gonna be recorded live. Yep. The standings, 16 big hadn't PFT, 16 Jake and Billy, 15 main max. So all the North Carolina recordings are over. It's the rest of the summer.

Summer calling it the Great Reef War. It is the rest of the summer. Summer calling it the Great Rewar. It is the Great Rewar. And this is the... We've already decided by the way, because we do try to, we take feedback, we try to evolve. Next summer we're gonna go back to solo, me, PFT and Hank, and, you know, if you lose,

it doesn't matter, but this one, so it's savor the wars, what I'm saying. You have one month left of the Mount Rush War war next summer, we'll switch it back up and the summer after that we'll switch it back up. But this next month will be as contentious as it gets. We're reading the ideas from AWLs from Mount Rushmores. And when we came across this one, we set out loud in the cars, meet Pickett and Hank and all three of us simultaneously go, oh my God.

Yeah. Because it's like, it's not feeling your butthole puckers, you're excited, you start sweating. This is the mark of a good Mount Rushmore topic. This is. Yes. What were the other ones that we were thinking about? There's a lot of good ones.

Mount Rushmore of Billy's lies that he's told us. Yes. That was good. That would be a good one. Yeah. Mount Rushmore was there one Mount Rushmore of Hank's golf videos or golf shots that sucked or something about Hank. You were going through it for the whole weekend. Oh, yeah, you were. Mount Rushmore of Hank golf YouTube comments. That would be five. Yeah, thank for how much you play golf. You think you'd be better. We wish you that one.

Oh, Hank, do you want to spoil the alert? You should watch the Me versus Hank golf video that came out on Thursday. What was it called? Oh, it was called, it was actually originally titled Breaking 100 because Hank and I were on the same team, but then it evolved into something much more interesting than that.

Ooh. It was just breaking 100. That's all it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Me and Hank on a hundred, that's all it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, me and Hank on a team. Let's try to win it. Uh, no. I'm just kidding.

All right. What's the order? What do we have it? Jake sent it to us, right? Jake's not here. No, but he sent it to us. Jake said you are getting cost. Dude, I have for the whole mean max I spent a lot of time thinking about this.

I produced pretty much every time I was able to do it. I was able to do it. I was able to do it. I was able to do it. I was able to do it. I was able to do it. I was able to do it. I was able to do it.

I was able to do it. I was able right into it. Yeah, okay. What else? What else? I'm just nervous. I'm nervous too. Yeah, I mean, I spent a lot of time thinking about this. Uh, you know, I've produced pretty much every episode except for the ones on my vacation. Probably probably 90, 95 percent. Uh, been around for. I know. Oh, man. I don't know.

90 percent. I actually think I know what you're going to pick. At least. He was the first person. He was a huge name superstar. He came on, he did the interview. It got picked up by all the big outlets. It was one of the kind of like,

wow, we've made it moments. Oh, wow. He is the biggest winner of, he has had the one the most awards of our biggest award of the year, Blake the year, Boston Celtic, Blake Griffin. Okay, okay, good pick. Good pick. I thought you were going to go with something else. I think we go with our one one. Sure, yeah, let's do it. I think he has been on the most episode. We liked him so much. We hired him. Yeah, he is the most dependable recurring guest we have. It's never a bad time. It is Ryan

Whitney. Ryan Whitney. Ryan Whitney is, he is Mr. Dependable and like, I don't think anyone has ever listened to a Ryan Whitney interview and not had a great time. From day one, he came on and he was talking about gas and beers, chuck and nuts. Chuck and nox, all that. Yeah, he's the best.

Yeah, I mean, I, I, I, actually I thought you were gonna go with it. I thought, because like he is, I think he is the most, I think he, when we did it, but we have a whole award dedicated to Blake. I have a Ryan of the air Ryan would be the guy When he's a Ryan of the year. He's our Ryan of the year. Yeah, yeah Wow, I just said, hey, he's our Ryan of the year not our re-en of the year Big difference. That's a two-step-it-a-word.

Two totally different awards. Two totally different awards. I guess. No, their names are different. Sure. How do you spell them? Okay, you can spell Alex different ways too, with the same name.

No, that's not true. We're gonna have a Brooks in our Blake of the year. Yeah. He's a Blake. Yeah have a Brooks in our Blake of the year. Yeah, is a Blake. Yeah. I had two backs back. Yep. Yeah.

who we call it up for a show, who we know will show up. It's the years. Yeah. Those are two rocks. If you had to be like, who we call it up for a show, who we know will show up, it's the Ryan. And also I think those two could probably beat up as a tag team duo, almost every other combination. Yes. Yes. Go ahead, Denegrate. I'm not, I'm not Denegrate.

So yeah, can't wait for our fantasy football preview with Jerry O'Connell this year. Billy.

Okay. Okay. I would have taken them before the stingray. I really got vaccinated to like meet Josh Allen. That's the only reason I got vaccinated. What? Yeah. Yeah.

Wait, you got vaccinated? Yeah. Fuck. Josh Allen would be so mad at you if you if you found that out. I know That was the only reason what did you didn't even get back? I know dude. It was like did you just not did Jake even send you a list? I didn't even look at his Rejakes list after yeah, let's read out. Okay, great. All right. This is big.

Let's go with six. Okay, six, okay. Can we see these. We're taking boomer. We're taking boomer. Oh, really? You pumped about that? Yeah.

Okay, boomer. And just so we know, just so we're clear, Hank made us pick six, any other great recurring guests. It would have been you. You would have been you. Yeah, for sure. Just so we're clear,

it would have, I'm talking to all of them. They know exactly who they are. It would have been you, Hank took that out of our hands. He made that pick for us. Just anyone who's listening right now is like, why didn't I get picked? It literally was gonna be it. Lane Hank.

Yeah. I'm thrilled he made it this far. I kind of regretted I'm not taking the last round. The people's lawyer, Mike Portino. Okay, good pick. Adam and I were like, yeah, you were just gonna have one, you're a pick. You're a pick. Well, no, our pick would have been,

if it wasn't for your pick of Chris Berman for us, it would have been Max Homa, it would have been Chris Enkyle Long. And it was the first guest on the show. He was the first person you wanted to get on the show. You didn't even pick him. It would have been Max Holma, it would have been Chris and Kyle Long. I mean, Chris was a first guest on the show. He was the first person you want to get on the show. You're naming Picker. It would have been tight. Same for you, dude.

You've been on the show. Well, it's not my show. Yeah, it is. We had a third to third. We had Coach Joe. No, it's not. Yeah, it is. We had Joe Buck.

You could paint just as much as me and P.F. Yeah, no, no. Dr. Fauci. I can't lay his on my list. I'm not sure if it's not his on my show. I'm not sure if it's on my list on my short list. Dr. Fauci was on my short list. Dan Heron, Joe Buck, Greg Olsley, Bordles, Kittle, Paul Bisonette, Brooks, death, death. Oh, so many good ones.

Tommy Lasorda, also for the Ireland's first death, foul ball guy, Bill Bauton, Michael Rappaport, Michael John Cena, Edelman, Dac press Scott, Julian Adam and I should have picked that. I'm sorry.

I was doing it each, each stop, it did different thing. And it was the design. I raised that for my memory. Yeah, I don't remember. No, all post pictures.

Okay, it was alarming. Yeah. Monday reading, coin boys. So I think PFTI both saw this on Twitter. It is a screen grab from Reddit teachers. Okay. And it goes every year these kids come back with a new annoying quirk.

Coin boys are apparently the new thing. So it reads, in my 10th year of teaching, mostly freshman, and I, what's STG? Don't agree. And I swear to God, that is, that's insane. That's a teacher? Yeah. That's yikes.

Hey, it's considering how fast you picked that up. I swear to God, ever since the pandemic, and honestly, like five years before that, there's always a new thing students bring to school that they learned over the summer from the internet or wherever. The newest thing here is a flock of self-proclaimed coin boys who carry a quarter on hand at all time and constantly flip it.

They have their entire personality who revolve around coins, coin flips and chants. When we went around doing an icebreaker, four or five of the kids said some variation of, I lived by the coin and I died by the coin as their fact. I love that. They're like two-faced. This is the most dude's rock thing ever.

Just about an hour ago, when I assigned the first assignment of the school year, one of the coin boys was bold enough to say, heads I do it, tails I don't. I told him if he flipped the coin, he would be getting a call home on the first week of high school. He flipped it anyway and it came up heads. Thank God for that at least. That's such a possible to your teacher.

He had to do it. You're establishing dominance. Yeah. I guarantee she didn't call home. Yeah. Because you're gonna do it. Yeah. She's only gonna call home if you're not gonna do it.

This is also one of those situations. What are we, much that must be done. Yeah, as much as she hates it, she also understands you do live by the coin dog. I actually think that she respects the coin. We should do this for the entire great week. All of our decisions should be coin.

Lipic coin you shave, Hank. Yeah. All of our decisions should be coined. Lippet coin you shave, Hank. Yeah. All of our decisions should be coined based. But then the other coin. Like, shave your head. Give me a million dollars, Bick, I'll do it. If you put up shaving your head, I'll do it. I actually said, I said, tell Bick,

I will shave my head for a million dollars. I'll shave my beard for a million dollars. Okay. Boom. You shave your head, I'll shave my beard. Okay, a million dollars, Bick. No, but like, why why would you? Why why do you want to do it for the sponsor?

Don't you want to go above me on? Well, because I've been growing this hair out for same 11 12 years, 100 K. I'll undercut them. All right, back to the coin boys, Billy's a little less than a steak. But then the other coin boy in that class flipped his coin and came up tails. So he was, he was homework. He said the coin is spoken. He's not little less than that. But then the other coin boy in that class flipped his coin and came up tail so he was through his homework.

He said, the coin is spoken and he's not doing it. I say very well, enjoy your zero and your call home. What a great way to start off school year and your high school career. I really hope this dies off soon. I haven't seen anything online about this when I Googled it. So I'm guessing it's just a local friend group thing unless one of you has some more info.

Yeah. Well, it sounds like they're high school freshmen, right? Yeah. So you have to get creative sometimes when you're hanging out with your freshman. You don't always have a friend that can go out by a beer or whatever. You have a lot of time to kill around your house.

So it sounds like they just got really into coins over the summertime. I don't think it's an internet thing. I think this is a very, a very cool group of kids that came up with a hilarious game. The only way to defeat the coin is with the coin. Yeah. This teacher needs to go up to the front of the class.

Day two would be like, I'm going to flip a coin. Heads, you guys can stay living by the coin, dying by the coin. Tails, the coin's over. Yes. And they have to respect the coin. Yes. You have to buy the coin, die by the coin. Yeah.

That's your only way out. You have a 50% chance of getting out of this. It's, I love this. They just live with a thrill every single day. We're gonna flip a coin for every decision we make. Yeah, that's the way to live. I might be a coin boy. Yeah.

This is also, is this also not the plot of no control? Yeah, it's heavier burden. Yeah. Maybe they just watched that movie. It's heavier burden or two face. Yeah, so yeah, I think we should become coin boys. Mm-hmm. I'm going to start flipping coins for random things that we decide.

Hank, you're in. Sure. Coins? We're going to get some coins. I never, I never have coins. It's a flex to be walking down the hallway with like four quarters in your pocket, just jingling everywhere. It's how people used to roll around all the time.

Yeah, it's true. I'm going to play pool. It almost, yeah, it was the only thing that better would be doing number. 69. There we go. I could have said it anyway, this episode you never would have gotten it. You never would have gotten it. You never would have gotten it.

21. I go 88. Means, have you ever gotten this? Shit. Never. I don't think you can guess one, because it, well, it starts at one. I don't know if it can do one again.

Okay. I hope it goes one this time. Shane, you want to guess? 41. Steve, you want to guess? 41 for Shane. 36 for Steve. Sound guy, you want to guess? Steve you want to guess 41 for Shane 36 for Steve sound guy you want to guess Matt Matt One through 100

He's like this twice a shame ahead 22 oh So close Billy So close Billy I had one What would you yeah, we'd be going to waffle house. Yeah, we would I go I would go love you guys hungry right now Hungry old time. Yeah, that's true. Mm-hmm love you guys Polar bears are huge pussies. They actually... Every time they meet grizzly bears in the wild,

they run away because grizzly bears are about that action. They scrap harder than polar bears. It's because their population densities are higher, so they see other grizzly bears and fight them more. Where does that happen? Wait, also Alaska. If being a pussy means that you're scared of grizzly bears, me too. But as a polar bear,ly bears me to but as a polar bear

I'm just as a polar bear. That's like not really that's a high bar for pussy. Yeah, but like polar bears It's like bigger for example big cat stronger if Durwin James was in this room right now I'd be afraid of them because he'd knock me out right but if Travis Kelsey was in the same room as Durwin James He should not be scared. Yeah, yeah, right. Should run him over. Right. Yeah, he won't. Hopefully he does. It actually be a great redemption arc. If he like runs over Drow and James. It would be, yeah. But'm gonna go back to the car. I'm gonna go back to the car. I'm gonna go back to the car. I'm gonna go back to the car.

I'm gonna go back to the car. I'm gonna go back to the car. I'm gonna go back to the car. I'm gonna go back to the car. I'm gonna go back to the car. I'm gonna go back to the car. I'm gonna go back to the car. I'm gonna go back to the car. I'm gonna go back to the car. It's all getting away
