Hey, pardon my take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify,
or YouTube.
Prime members can listen, ad-free, on Amazon Music.
On today's part of my take, we have Hall of Fame backup quarterback Matt Flynn.
He played with the Packers, the Saints, the Patriots, the Raiders, the Seahawks, everywhere.
He's got some good insight into Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers' relationship, and also
we settled the debate.
What is the Matt Flynn game?
We also have, talk about the Texans, Monday Night Football, and we have to address what
happened to Jacksonville.
We will get to that and much, much more.
But before we start, PFT, you need to do the Velvita ad, and it was requested you do it
in a sexy voice, and I'm just going to plug my ears when you do this, okay?
I'll plug your ears up with something.
Someone turn off my headphones.
I do not want to listen to this.
I'll plug some of those ears up.
You give me any hole.
I'll put it right up.
Go, just get this over with.
I've been dreading this all day.
I want to talk to you guys out there about Velvita.
They know what moves product, and that's PFT talking about that delicious, saucy, cheesy
stuff and the sweetest voice possible, so shout out to them for recognizing a great ad campaign.
I want to talk to you guys, because being an SEC fan, it can be so draining.
The game day ritual begins early.
You've got tailgates at starts in the morning, fans stand.
They make your voices heard from the stands in every single minute of that game.
The weather is often either scorching and humid, or it's cold and rainy.
Either way, it's wet, and watching it at a bar or with friends, it can be just as intense.
After a long day being an SEC fan, you want nothing more than your couch, and to indulge
in nothing but the good stuff.
You know what I'm talking about.
Of course, I'm talking about Velvita shells and cheese, it's liquid gold.
It is the most delicious mac and cheese product out there, so easy to make.
I love it so very, very deeply.
It's got a unique richness, creaminess, cheesiness, meltiness.
The pasta shells, they pool the creamy cheese sauce, delivering the even cheesier bite that
you've ever thought was possible.
It's a craveable post-game snack.
It's quick and it's easy to prepare at Big Cat.
You know that, with no additional ingredients necessary.
You just boil that water, you cook the shells, you stir in the cheese sauce, and the sound
that it makes when you stir in that cheese sauce in there, that's what I'm talking about.
I don't have to say anything else about that.
So satisfy your post-game craving with the cheesy, melted, creaminess of Velvita shells
and cheese.
All right, are you done?
Good?
We're good.
Okay, let's go.
We're good.

Welcome to Part In My Take, presented by Seacgeek.
It today is Wednesday, Nov. 28th and the Houston Texans will just not stop fucking winning?
I'm doing the pinky removal hits right here.
They have won.
They're the first team in NFL history to win 8 straight games after starting 0-3.
I know and they look pretty damn good doing what the hell they're they look good in all
facets of the game. I'm the little boomer clip. The Hank Stram walking up the sideline.
What the hell is going on out here? Listen, I haven't I haven't seen a team bounce back
like this. Maybe ever. They are on a hot streak. I don't know. Has any team ever gone 0-3
and then 8-0 and then not won the Super Bowl? I don't know. That's actually never happened.
Never happened. It's never happened before. In fact, I want to be the bigger man in the
situation because, you know, I think that you want to follow through on this bet.
Oh, no, I have to. There's nothing I can do. Listen, I think that now is the time to maybe
offer you a hedge. No. And say, what if we just like tear the nail out of your mickey
right now? That actually is worse. Listen, and then you get to keep the nub. This has
become such a like a thing that I am now having real discussions with people like how to actually
properly do this. And, you know, we met a hand surgeon in Louisiana who said he would
watch over and make sure that I don't mangle my hand forever, which actually that makes
no sense because I will mangle my hand forever. It was the Omens are so bad. They showed a
clip of a guy with a nub holding a Texans helmet during the Monday night games. They
know what they're doing. And the Texans look like the Titans came out. They were up 10-0.
Good. Finally, they fall back to earth. The Texans just like they dominate. And they've
got an owner that just passed away, which is an ex backer. It's like they're playing
the season for a purpose right now. Here's the only thing that I think will save me.
And I'm going to say, God forbid, and I'm going to say it would be a real shame to Sean
Watson still takes so many hits that like even Bill O'Brien is so stupid at the end
of the half. Did you see that at the end of the half when there was maybe 20 or no, it
was the end of the game when they were up two or three scores and they were just kind
of running out the clock. And he had to Sean Watson get absolutely pulverized on a play.
It's like, what are you doing? But keep doing it.
Well, here's the thing about Watson, the style that he plays in, he takes a lot of shots
on his own. Even if they're not plays that expose him to getting hit more than others,
he'll still dance around the pocket a little bit longer. He doesn't know really when to
get rid of the ball just yet.
It's something about his legs.
Well, his legs are like really long. So it always looks like a real juicy target.
You know what it is? He's like, you know how Marshawn Lynch runs where he's just like
always crab legged the whole time because he's got these powerful like quads that are
just ready to go in any direction. Sean Watson runs in that same way, but he just doesn't
have the thick legs and the thick ass that Marshawn has.
So yeah, you're right. It looks a little scary sometimes, but that's what you get when you
just like come up playing football and you're used to just being able to run around everybody
true and just dominate the pocket and escape the pocket. Not in this league. Not in this
league. The guys out there are faster than you're used to. They're grown. They're grown
ass Jesse's.
I just need them to not get a buy. That's when I'll get very nervous because I don't
think they can win three playoff games, but I do think they can win two playoff games
to then get to the Super Bowl. And then if they're in the Super Bowl, it's like, I don't
even know what we do. We do a watch party or something where just, I mean, I, from a
hospital bed, this is a bad situation. I mean, listen, we do the done chain. I was trying
to make a point that once you done chain someone, it's done chain for life. And guess what?
The point has backfired because the Texans have gone eight no since their own three start
and the done chain.
Yes. And, and you make a good point about, about getting the buy, getting a home field
because like Houston is a, is a trap for teams playing on the road because number one, it's
so big that you get lost there and it sucks. And all you see is concrete and it's just
a terrible traffic city. So you're just throwing off your whole game from the get go to there's
a lot of really good food there, but it's all super heavy food. So the teams are playing
the next day with like a belly full of cement. And number three, there's tons of strip clubs.
Yep. It's a wall Tampa would be a really good team if that was the case, but listen, I'm
still not worried. I'm still not worried. I'm going to say that we sound a little worried.
Nope. Not worried.
The Texans are not going to be with people sigh.
Yeah, you did. Yeah, that was, that was a not worried sigh. That was a, that was a,
wow.
No, not worried guys.
Not worried sigh is like with the pH at the start. Yeah. Your style was, which is actually
just a sound you make when you sit down. Okay. So let's theoretically, if it was Super Bowl
Sunday and they were in it, would you do the pinky cutting in this room?
No, I, well, I would have to figure out how to do it. Yeah. I mean, if they get to Super
Bowl, we'll have to have like real planning situations.
Cigar cutter.
We'll have to be talking to doctors. We'll do the whole thing.
Cigar cutter.
Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I have no idea. I have no idea. Well, let's just table it
because I'm not worried and I'm not worried. And if I keep saying I'm not worried, then
I'm not worried.
We have to talk about the real story in the NFL and it's going to be an emotional one.
Blake Bortles has been demoted. Cody Kessler has now been named the starting quarterback
in Jacksonville. They fired their offensive coordinator. I'll start here. I think Cody
Kessler stinks.
I think he's trash. He's an absolute trash. Let's see. Well, here's sign number one that
Cody Kessler is trash. You ready for this?
Yeah.
Hugh Jackson thinks he's good.
Yeah. Boom.
There's no bigger indictment.
Here's another sign for Cody Kessler being not great. He went to USC, but people don't
even remember he went to USC. In most quarterbacks from USC, you're like, man, that guy's good.
John David Booty ever heard of him?
I was doing some research on him and I saw that he went to USC. I was like, yeah, I forgot
that.
Yeah, because he wasn't very good.
I was like, he must have been like a one year starter or something like that. No, he started
for like three years.
Yeah. He also looks like he should be working like an Accenture or something. He hit this
guy out of here. To me, he looks like a mixture of Chris Gattan from SNL. If you cloned him
with Jeffrey, the former kicker of the Steelers.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, Jeffrey.
He's got that weird hair.
Remember Jeffrey got into that fight with the...
Everyone.
No, he got in the fight with the towel, the hand towel thing in a bathroom.
That was like...
Oh, the Dyson Airblade.
Yeah, he got in a... Well, it wasn't a Dyson Airblade because it was so long ago.
I was going to say Dyson Airblade would beat the shit out of Jeffrey.
The paper towel machine, he beat... I think he beat it up, but I think he also got beat
up by it.
Okay.
Classic kicker.
Well, it was stolen valor from the terrible towel.
Yeah.
He had to defend the yellow flag's honor.
In real talk here, it obviously sucks because we love Blake and he's a friend and he's a
great guy. I do think he will bounce back. I don't think this is the last we will hear
of Blake Bortles. I'm just not going to give Cody Kessler a fair shot.
Absolutely not.
When they're like, we'll give this guy a fair shot. I'm going the other way. I'm not giving
him a fair shot. If he wins the game on Sunday against the Colts, still not giving him a
fair shot. Probably the defense that did it.
I agree with that 100%. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Cody Kessler was a bad teammate
from the get-go.
Yeah.
And it was maybe like feeding Blake bad information and telling him like, okay, no, this audible
means X, Y, and Z. If you're a backup and we'll talk to Matt Flynn later about being
a good backup.
Yep.
Being the alpha beta in the room. Cody Kessler, he doesn't strike me as that kind of guy.
I don't think he was there to make Blake Bortles better. I think he was brought in to make
Blake Bortles nervous.
Yes.
And that's not a recipe for having a good football team. You need your guy to be locked
in all the time and have all the confidence in the world. You don't get that when you
get a backstabbing snake like Cody Kessler in your meeting room.
He's thrown four interceptions in his career.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Four.
Jesus.
That's a lot.
And eight games started.
Yeah.
That's like a shit load.
That's almost Nathan. You know what that is? Nathan Peterman would only have four interceptions
if he had a coach that would pull him out after the first quarter of every game.
He's had 21 sacks in 2016 and eight games. You got to ask what the provocation was there.
Yeah, you do.
He was just asking to get sacked.
Listen, I watched some tape on Cody Kessler. His offense aligned and pick him up every
time he got sacked. So that makes you wonder what kind of leader he is.
Yeah.
I'm going to keep a close, a very close eye every time Cody Kessler gets knocked down
to see how quickly those hands go to pick him up.
The Jaguars are just having the season from hell. It really can't go worse. Like they,
everything has kind of just spiraled on them.
It could go worse if, what if Cody Kessler takes him to the playoffs?
No, he's not.
That would be awful.
That would stop him.
We're not giving him a chance.
Yeah.
Remember that? Remember the hole we're not giving him a chance? The Jaguars did win the
Super Bowl week two though against the Patriots. That was the greatest game for Blake Bortlesen.
So I think you just raise a banner and just pretend that this year didn't happen.
Well, yeah. You put up like the Capitals used to have, or no, is the Colts that had the
like AFC finalists.
Yeah.
AFC finalists banner in Jacksonville. I think we put it in the pool.
AFC finalists and then next to it say redeemed our AFC finalists loss the next year.
Yeah.
So essentially Super Bowl finalists.
Ran the table.
Yeah.
It won't be a banner. Just have it be like a pool noodle.
If the season lasted two, if we had gone 18 weeks like Adele wants, the Jaguars would
have been in the Super Bowl.
No, I think that's very fair. And it's a shame what happened to Blake. And we still have
his back.
Oh, for a hundred percent. If you want to come at Blake, come at Blake, but you're going
to deal with us too.
Yeah.
You don't want that smoke.
I think that.
I got a nub.
Yeah.
You don't want to fight. You do not want to get in a fight with a nub guy.
A future nub. Yeah.
That's even more dangerous. It's like I'm not afraid to lose my hand.
Call a flower ear or nubs, which one do we rather fight with?
I think a nub guy.
Our scar on your foot guy is pretty intimidating too.
I might, if I end up with a nub, I might just like buy a chopper and become a, become
like a Hell's Angel guy and be like, Hey, how'd you lose that?
Oh, you know, like I got in a big bar fight in El Paso. Oh, well, I said that the Texans
were done in 2018 and they weren't.
So you know what you got to do? It's going to be on your left hand, right?
Yeah.
You got to start playing like the banjo or playing guitar history.
Jerry Garcia.
Yeah. Jango.
Rahm Emanuel.
What's his name? Jango Reinhardt.
Yeah.
Was that the guy with two fingers?
Sure.
Yeah.
Sure.
Yeah.
You got to get a gold pinky.
Oh yeah, I will.
I will. It will be, it will be a major flex.
Can you get a prosthetic limb for just the end of your pinky?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, you should definitely do that.
You can hide contraband in there. Not saying I will, but you could.
No, but you could hide.
You could hide all sorts of stuff in there.
Weirdly has a really long nail.
Oh, maybe you get one that vibrates too.
Yeah.
For the ladies.
Yeah.
All right.
The other story we got to talk about, the R words.
Wow.
Hmm.
Good job guys.
You just signed Ruben Foster when he probably would have gone unsigned.
Yeah, you think?
And he's, what is he, is his third incident?
Third domestic violence incident in the last like year and a half.
It's also like, you know how they always talk about red flags in the NFL and you know, Colin
Cowell would be like, oh, it's a red flag.
He, Baker Mayfield didn't run with his teammates.
How about the red flag that people forget Ruben Foster fought a nurse at the combine
and left early?
Yeah, that's pretty bad.
That seemed like a red flag.
That's pretty bad.
But listen, I mean, with Medicare cost being what they are after Obamacare, like you want
to fight every nurse that you see.
True.
So that's a common thing.
What are the, what are Redskins?
Listen.
Like how do they spend this?
No, here's the thing.
And like this has come out a little bit over the last few years.
It's pretty obvious that like, I think I've made it clear.
I am somewhat of a Redskins fan.
And I say somewhat, and I think a lot of people identify with this, that they like the team
in theory.
They grew up in the area for whatever reason.
You grew up rooting for the team and you like them and you just can't muster the courage
to ever give a shit about the team because they've got Dan Snyder running it.
And he's always liable to pull some stupid monkey ass bullshit like this, where he brings
in a guy that could absolutely would have gone unclaimed.
And then you wait till the investigation plays out.
Right.
Let's say best case for Ruben Foster.
It's the same as last time.
They don't, they don't charge him with his third incident in a year and a half.
That's best case scenario.
And then at that point, if you're, for whatever reason, convinced he didn't do anything, then
maybe, maybe you bring him in.
You don't claim him off waivers when no one else is going to do it.
This is like, this is what happens every single time I start to kind of care about the Redskins.
Every single time I start to think maybe there's hope.
This year I thought they were going to win the division when Alex Smith was playing.
Yeah, you said that with two legs.
You said the Vikings and the Redskins were in play.
I thought so in the first round.
It's still possible.
But every time they give you like a little bit of hope and you're like, maybe I'm okay
with this team now.
They managed to fuck it up in a new way.
And this is a new way for Dan.
Like he brought in Albert Haynesworth and gave him $150 million.
And all he had done was just like ran his car over a couple guys and stomped on a dude's
head.
Well, here's the thing.
It's, it's the NFL.
And I think you would be fooling yourself if you ever assumed that an NFL franchise wouldn't
sign a guy who has issues in his past, but can perform on the field.
We've seen it a million times.
In pro sports, they will, you know, anyone can get a million different chances if they
are a good player.
But to do it three days after when you said the same thing, like you probably would have
gone unsigned is a wild move.
It's stupid.
It's okay.
There are like, there are degrees of, I guess you can relate it back to when the Cubs picked
up or all this Chapman, right?
You didn't feel good.
Don't throw me into this.
I'm just saying, you didn't, I'm just saying you didn't feel good about that.
You deal with your own shit, dude.
I'm, no, I'm actually going to give the Cubs organization a little bit of a compliment,
I think, because they brought them in and it was very much like, okay, we need to win
now.
Okay.
At least they're going all in and saying, yeah, we don't give a fuck about character
concerns because we want to bring a championship with the Redskins.
They're not going to win shit this year.
This isn't like, he's not the last piece of a puzzle.
He's just the latest in a long series of assholes that they've brought in and this is, it's so
tough to root for this team when they do shit like this.
The only thing I could possibly think is the Redskins have tried to build basically Alabama's
defense over the last three years.
They've got like four or five starters, I think, from the University of Alabama.
And so they're like, okay, maybe his former college teammates will keep him in line before
he started getting.
Love that narrative.
Yeah.
Before he started getting arrested.
Now, all of a sudden he got away from the University of Alabama and Nick Saban and his
Pinkerton thugs.
And then for the first time in his life, wasn't around him and started to get arrested for
all this shit.
Interesting.
But my theory is that Dan Snyder is, and he had to start paying, you know, payments
on his Dodge Charger.
Exactly.
Once in his life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's bankrupt now because he doesn't know how to balance a check for the first time
ever.
But yeah, I think maybe, hey, Dan Snyder, I'll give you some credit.
Maybe you're trying to answer the question if Alabama could be a pro team.
Yeah.
Maybe you're just a blogger.
And this is what you're trying to accomplish.
That's actually a very high compliment you gave him.
Yes.
No.
That's a highest-seemed blogger tag.
Yeah.
That's the highest compliment for a short, short man.
Either way, the biggest story we will get to in segments, and that's that Adam Schefter
is getting fucked with.
Yes.
And we'll get to that in segments.
Let's do Hot Seed Cool Throne.
Then we'll get to Matt Flynn.
Let's start with PFT.
PFT, why don't you start Hot Seed Cool Throne?
My Hot Seed.
Okay.
My first Hot Seed is Mars.
Yep.
I ended another rover on Mars.
I think this is the eighth one.
Yep.
What happened to the other ones?
I'm doing the jack-of-the-mill.
They all died, and Matt Damon tried to grow potatoes.
They take a bunch of pictures, and then they're like, well, it can't come back.
Well, yeah, it's very sad when they just abandoned.
It's like, well, the battery has died.
I'll tell you one thing.
We're just using it as a big garbage dump there.
When Jeff Bezos has his robot revolution, those robots will remember all the times we
sent their brothers and sisters to Mars to die.
Yeah.
Like, that shit won't be forgotten.
Yeah.
I think you're 100% correct on that, and I'm putting Mars on the Hot Seed because it
turns out it still sucks.
Yeah.
So we're seeing the first pictures come back.
Can't live there.
Hey, breaking news.
It's red.
It's got a shitload of sand.
Mm-hmm.
It's basically Northern Arizona.
Yep.
So that's great.
Some mountains.
Yeah.
Oh, here's a prediction.
They're going to maybe find traces of what might have been water.
A billion years ago.
Billion years ago, but the headlines are going to say evidence of water on Mars, which we
already have.
Yep.
It's going to be a river.
Yeah.
Cool.
I mean, listen, we're not going to Mars.
We're not going to Mars.
We're just going to all die here with an asteroid or something.
It's going to happen.
Hopefully.
Yeah.
Hopefully, like you said.
Take us out easily.
It's when you're down a couple grand to your bookie.
Listen, you don't have to pay your bookie when an asteroid hits Earth.
That is actually a fact.
Mm-hmm.
No one has ever had to pay their bookie.
The dinosaurs back then, no one ever had to pay their bookie when the asteroid came
in.
There were a shitload of raptors that just welched out on a lot of gambles.
Do you know what?
A little side woe, because we were just talking about dinosaurs real quick.
Did you see the tweet that's been going viral, how someone invented all dinosaur noises
because we don't know actually what they sounded like?
That's a big time woe.
Yeah.
What if they talked in like the King's English?
A good day?
Yeah.
And that was what the T-Rex was doing instead of being like, yeah, that would be crazy.
I think the person said, what if they all quack like a duck or meow like a cat?
That's bullshit.
They did not meow.
They roared.
They roared.
How are you so confident they roared?
I saw Jurassic Park.
I saw Jurassic Park.
I saw Jurassic Park, bro.
Giraffes don't roar.
They're mute.
Alligators don't roar.
It's because elephants roar, but alligators don't roar.
They croak.
Yeah, so they don't roar, though.
I'm not saying every animal roars.
Alligators are basically dinosaurs.
We also don't know what the skin of a dinosaur looks like.
Somebody just invented that shit, too.
Yeah, it could have been Gucci.
It could have been feathers.
Yeah, it could have been anything.
What else you got?
So let's just go to Venus.
Stop going to Mars.
I'm sick of Mars.
Well, that's where men are from.
Yeah, so let's go find some chicks.
Okay.
Let's go to Venus, boys.
But Mars is like the ultimate fat cave.
Fellas.
What was the name of that book?
Men are from Mars.
Women are from Venus.
Yeah.
That's a hot one.
Yeah, we should do a book reading club.
No.
Fuck it.
Yeah, no.
What?
Boys go to Mars to get more candy bars.
Whoa.
Is that true?
Girls go to Venus to get more...
What?
Okay.
What else you got?
PFT.
Uh, my other hot seat is whales.
Okay.
For two reasons.
Go on.
Why are you looking at me right now?
For two reasons, because we're making eye contact.
Yeah.
Okay.
We're participating in active listening.
Yep.
First reason why is because dozens and dozens of dead whales just washed up on a beach, I
believe in New Zealand.
That sounds bad.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
Like when animals are committing mass suicide, like the Heaven's Gate Colt, that's a bad
omen.
I would say so.
Is it just like flew out of the sky and just landed and died?
No.
That was the Vikings' new stadium.
Oh, yeah.
They were flying.
Yeah.
That was Jared Allen outside with a shotgun.
Yeah, right.
Killing all of them.
No, but it's bad.
It's bad when that happens.
It's bad.
And the second reason why whales are on the hot seat is because, uh, did you see the inventor
of McAfee antivirus software?
He went on a Twitter tirade talking about how several times he's tried to fuck whales.
And there's this one, uh, it's like an annual thing.
I think it's also New Zealand.
Another.
Think about it.
It's where it's like a, a, a big ceremony where dozens of people paddle out into the
ocean and then they like put a guy on a whale and he tries to fuck a whale.
And so this guy's tried to fuck a whale and he ended up with like a broken rib and, um,
good crush sternum.
Good.
Yeah.
That's, that's like that story, uh, about the person who ended the aquarium, who fucked
a dolphin and then, and then broke up with the dolphin, the dolphin killed itself.
Shape of water.
That's the, you're talking about the movie Shape of Water.
You guys remember this woe from Snooki back in the day when she said, I hate the ocean.
It's all whale sperm.
Uh, everybody Google it because that's why the water is salty.
Fucking whale sperm.
That's great.
Yeah.
She definitely talked that.
She's a genius.
Yep.
That's, yeah.
Don't go in the ocean.
You might get pregnant.
I take back anything that I've ever said about.
Yeah.
Uh, your cool throne.
My cool throne.
Um, my first cool throne is going to be the.
Oh, your cool thrones.
Yeah.
My cool thrones.
Um, first one is going to be, uh, what do you have a list that you're picking from?
University of North Carolina nostalgia.
Okay.
Because Mac Brown.
What was the other thing on the list?
I just, I wrote down a bunch of words that didn't make sense.
Okay.
Um, yeah.
Mac Brown's back.
Mac Brown's back.
Yep.
And I, I like Mac Brown as a person.
He's not, he's not really a motivated guy to get out and really do stuff.
He, he's, he's what he's really good at talking to alumni that have a shitload of money.
Whoa.
And getting them to pony up.
Oh, I was going to say missing on sure thing quarterbacks and making, trying to make them
to get out of their cities.
Yeah.
But good thing is the state of North Carolina hasn't had a good quarterback come out of
it ever.
Well, Phillip Rivers, right?
Nice try.
Phillip Rivers.
Nice try.
I don't know.
You saw my Mitch Trubisky stats.
Wait.
Um, where did Mitch grow up?
Uh, Ohio.
Okay.
That's what I meant.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dove actually from there.
No.
He would have hit on Mitch because he had brought him in from out of state.
Correct.
Also will Grish from North Carolina.
So you really put yourself in a pickle here.
Yeah.
Well, um, I'm glad.
Okay.
What's your other cool throne?
Uh, my other cool throne is, uh, Monica Lewinsky.
Putting her on the most random hot seat, cool thrones of all time, Mars, whales, Mack
Brown, Monica Lewinsky.
Yeah.
I mean, go ahead.
It all fits together.
So Monica, did you see the documentary about her?
There's like a new documentary about the Kin Star report and that whole thing.
And she actually comes out looking great.
Like she is, she has become like a national hero.
Does she still have the dress?
I think she does.
No.
No.
I think she gave that to the Smithsonian.
Oh, okay.
There we go.
Go check that out.
Wait.
Where, where's this documentary?
Uh, it's just on TV.
But like, can you point people in the right direction?
It's on TV.
You guys have.
Are you high right now?
No.
I don't smoke drugs.
So did you watch it?
Yeah.
I watched it.
What do you mean?
Okay.
So where did you watch it?
I watched it on the television.
Okay.
Listen, I don't, I don't, I don't choose the everything that I watched, but I ended
up watching it.
And you were just watching the spice channel.
And you thought it was a Monica Lewinsky.
You know what?
It might have been.
You just go channel up without even going.
You know what it was?
Yeah.
It was who's nail and palin.
Yeah.
I saw that.
And I was like, I like this Monica Lewinsky show.
Yeah.
And it was pretty cool.
Yeah.
It was like in the videos that you, if you like this, you also might like this.
Yeah.
Um, so yeah, Monica Lewinsky or was her name, uh, Jesse James, was that her name?
Uh, the porn star.
The porn star.
Yeah.
Jesse James.
No, she's blonde.
Well, who played Sarah Palin?
Uh, that was Lisa Ann.
Lisa Ann.
Yeah.
Lisa Ann.
Okay.
She actually just made a comeback.
Oh, did she?
She's had a few of those before.
Yeah.
No, she actually really liked, she was like, I'm back.
She said she retired then.
It was a big thing.
Uh, not that I would know.
Hank, go ahead.
Since we're on the subject, uh, my hot seat is Kim Kardashian's good name.
Hmm.
So in this, this week's, uh, keeping up with the Kardashians, she was talking about
how she, she used to be a wild child.
She used to get crazy.
She said she was high on ecstasy when she made her, her famous tape, her famous tape.
Excuse me.
Okay.
So it doesn't count.
Ray J then came out today and said she wasn't high on ecstasy, but she was only smoking
pot from a penis pipe.
So Kim Kardashian's good name is.
Got it.
She was getting that good, good.
And it just felt like ecstasy.
All right.
Why would she come out and say this?
I feel like there's enough people now that probably forget that it was a sex tape that
like kind of launched this whole thing that she just kind of went back down the rabbit
hole.
Well, Chris Jenner told her to say it and it's because they hadn't been in the news
that much recently.
Exactly.
People are saying she's not fun anymore.
So she had to be like, I'm fine.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've been hearing that.
Yeah.
Not fun.
Uh, my other hot seat is Oscar De La Jolla.
Okay.
Dana White in a press conference talking about the Chuck Liddell fight called them Oscar
De La Coquette.
Ew.
Cause, uh, he, he, he thought Chuck Liddell shouldn't have fought.
He said, listen, I love Chuck Liddell and I don't ever want a bad mouth Chuck Liddell.
People do think a bad mouth thing, Chuck Liddell, but the reality is I heard last week that
this Coquette Oscar De La Weirdo is talking shit that I don't have any place to tell
guys when to retire.
It sounds like he's been hanging out with Trump and that's, that's like a classic Trump
phrase right there.
Dana White, you can, you can point to a lot of times where Dana White might have done
something wrong, but the Chuck Liddell thing, he like Chuck Liddell should not have fought
this time and he was getting knocked out every fight before he got, he retired and Dana
White made him retire.
Yeah.
That was a bad fight.
I, uh, that was a bad fight.
I saw the highlights.
I was like, oh, that was, I don't know why.
Yeah.
Everybody was just sad.
And they only got paid based off of pay per view.
Oh really?
Yeah.
Did they do okay?
Shame on anyone who promoted that fight.
Mm hmm.
Agreed.
Whoops.
Agreed.
It was just a big circus.
When I saw it, I was like, oh, whoops.
Big circus.
I really should brush up on my MMA.
Mm hmm.
Uh, and then my cool throne is NFL touchdown dances.
Mm hmm.
They're back.
I feel like they've made a huge comeback this year.
Group celebrations have been so awesome.
Yep.
So awesome.
They almost died too.
I feel like they were, they were, they were on the press.
They were completely dead.
Right.
They were, they were outlawed for a while.
You couldn't have like two guys being happy together.
But it's been like, what are you going to do next?
Like a guy and a dog being happy together?
Yeah.
The free throw, the limbo, the bears doing the Motown, like there's been a ton of really
good ones, even just in the last week.
Mm hmm.
Yeah.
Well, so the, the new hotness is on defense.
If you get an interception or a turnover, you go to the end zone, then you do a pose
for a picture.
I feel like we need to institute more of a, some regulations on that one because I'm sick
of every single time having a picture in the end zone.
Oh no, I like it.
Does that make me a grumpy old man?
Only when you're winning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
Definitely fair.
Okay.
My hot seat, I have two.
If you're on ecstasy, then you can pose for anything.
Yeah.
Out of a penis pipe.
Mm hmm.
So the first thing is, first take the program.
I guess that Will Kane and Stephen A. Smith got some major beef going on and Damien Woody
went after Baker Mayfield on first take and our guy Baker Mayfield went back and said,
I guess he said something like, Oh, you transferred and Baker responded on the Instagram story.
Not even comparable.
I didn't lose 30 plus games, be fake and then do that.
I wasn't going to have a scholarship.
Good try though, buddy.
Now we are a part of the Baker crew.
We defend our guys.
So Damien Woody, you're an idiot.
Yeah.
Hey Damien, remember when you basically quit on the biggest loser and then you tried to
come back?
Remember that?
That's true.
Yeah.
Damn.
You ever watch that show?
The television dude.
Yeah.
It was on the television.
Yeah.
It was on the TV.
It was like one of the channels.
Yeah.
My other hot seat is apologies because Big Ben is not doing them and in an all time Big
Ben quote, he said, yeah, he said, I'm not going to apologize for any of my interceptions
because sometimes those things happen.
I'm a quarterback that is going to go out and sling it.
And you talk about gunslinger, whatever you want to talk about, I'm not going to worry
about interceptions.
I hate doing them.
They bother me, but I'm going to go out and play my game and try to help us win football
games.
Don't apologize, Ben.
Like Ben, the question was about the Patriots.
Yeah.
I'm just not going to apologize.
Listen, I want to talk about my interceptions.
I'm not going to apologize.
Nope.
Not going to apologize for them.
My cool throne is millennials.
So us.
Nice.
They now have monopoly for millennials.
They have created monopoly for millennials and it is absolutely ridiculous.
The pieces.
So the monopoly man is on the cover.
He has a Starbucks cup.
He has I think Google glasses.
He's listening to something.
Yeah.
All these things that millennials love.
Yeah.
And he's taking a selfie and so the they said monopoly for millennials, the game, the box
of the game shows.
So it has all that stuff.
And this is a tagline reads forget real estate.
You can't afford it anyway.
Adulting is hard.
You deserve a break from the rat race and rather than winning by collecting the most
money, the game prompts players to collect experiences.
So visiting a friend's couch.
What the fuck is that?
Falling asleep.
Yeah.
It's passing out.
Going to a vegan bistro.
Hitting a week.
Long meditation retreat.
This is the worst thing ever.
Whoever came up with this.
That's not real.
All the stuff you're reading right now, that's just what happens if you go to jail, right?
Well, yeah, it's it's it's real Hank.
I'm reading it on fortune.com.
So unless they got got what are they like the park place in boardwalk squares?
I don't know.
But I like that.
The fire fest.
No, Coachella.
It's Coachella.
Firefest.
It's finding yourself a burning man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The this is just the dumbest thing ever though.
And I guess millennials are mad, which you know what millennials don't get mad as speaking
as an elder millennial.
Just let it they want you to get mad.
They want to trigger to try and trigger.
Don't let it happen.
What the pieces are what the game pieces are like probably an avocado.
We need to probably check that one right off the list.
Yeah, we need to find we need to find we need to buy this.
Your parents car.
That's not the one.
Yeah.
No, it's it's the actual board game.
Well, then that's not for millennials then.
Yeah.
They should just make it an app.
Yeah.
Let me streamline that process for you.
Just make it a fucking app.
Vegan vegan can't selling vegan candles your side hustle.
Whether you're a lifestyle vlogger emoji lover or you make your side hustle selling
vegan vegan candles monopoly for millennials is for you.
Who eats candles?
Why would you need candles?
No, because the I think candles like you can't use there's some kind of wax.
Yeah, something like butter.
Yeah, it's butter.
Yeah, that's thanks.
Right.
It's butter.
Butter candles.
Yeah, right.
Butter doesn't come from animals.
That's actually we should definitely do butter candles.
Yeah, but so is beeswax, which is what you can't do beeswax candles.
Why?
Because that hurts the bees to make wax.
Yes.
Because you're okay.
You're painful.
You're stealing their honey cones.
Nonstop.
Yeah.
You just can't do that.
You cannot do that monopoly.
Maybe that's why bees are dying at an alarming rate because we take all their cum.
That's true.
They can't impregnate each other.
It's very sad.
Bees fucking suck.
I hate people who are like, oh, if you kill bees and the whole fucking ecosystem falls
bliss.
Listen, I don't want bees just go around just stinging people.
I don't want to slut shame bees.
But the queen is getting railed out by everyone.
Yeah.
Like every single male bee is a cock.
Yeah.
It's I mean, it's talk about something you want to see on your television.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
Why not?
And I'm sure they could make honey some, some time someplace else, right?
Sure.
You can make McDonald's definitely doesn't use bees, honey.
Right.
They have some kind of honey that they use.
Can you use flies?
Maybe.
That's your honey.
Yeah.
It's actually, it's actually rat piss.
Yeah.
It's just, they just coagulate it and that's your honey.
Okay.
That is our hot sequel thrones.
Let's do the interview with Hall of Fame backup quarterback Matt Flynn.

McGloin, Maddie Mock, Maddie Mock, Matt Mock, all-time electric name Maddie Mock.

Offer expires this week so do not miss out.
Okay, here he is, Mafflin.
Okay, we now welcome on National Champion, Super Bowl Champion.
Now, I'm going to say this, and you can tell me if this is offensive.
Backup quarterback legend, Matt Flynn.
Is that an offensive thing to say?
I don't think that's offensive.
I mean, anything with a legend in it is okay in my book.
I'm okay with it.
Yeah, you are right.
I think when we did the Mount Rushmore of backup quarterbacks in the history of the NFL,
I'm pretty sure that we put you on.
Yeah, and I think you are not because, yeah, you look like Matt Damon, but this isn't because
you look like Matt Damon, but no, you do look like Matt Damon.
And I think you are basically from the movie, what's that movie called?
With Ben Affleck.
No, with Ben Affleck.
Good Will Hunting.
Good Will Hunting.
I don't know why I just blanked on that right there.
I'm getting nervous.
But you are basically the guy who got out of dodge, you know what I mean?
You got the big contract, the backup legend contract.
So, backup legend is a good thing to say.
I think it's a great thing to say.
So you are saying that I fooled them just long enough, is that what you are saying?
No, it's not that.
It's not that.
And that's a classic backup quarterback thing of you to say is to always be a little humble
and not want to be like, you know what they are?
The great backup quarterback is an alpha beta.
So like the king of the betas, meaning like you can't, nobody wants to have a backup quarterback
sitting behind him in that quarterback room that comes in and thinks that their hot shit
starts throwing stuff around and telling people what to do.
They want like a good person, somebody that they can, you know, stay loose with that will
be able to come in and kind of tread water and help the team out in the event of an emergency.
And I think that does take a special set of skills and it does take like that set of skills
to be able to stick around for as long as you did in the league.
So I don't think when we say it, we are not saying it as a pejorative.
We're actually, we're impressed with your career and what you've done.
But there was a big debate that we had on last week's show.
And we were trying to get to the bottom of what is the Matt Flynn game.
And I think most listeners out there know what we're talking about.
You had a couple of great games in Green Bay at the end of that one year when Aaron Rodgers
got a little dinged up.
So we need to ask you in your mind, what is or what was the Matt Flynn game?
I think I would assume that most people probably said it was the Lions game in 2011.
Those, those posers last week tried to, tried to do what Stafford and I did on Monday night
football last week, but probably felt a little bit short.
But I don't know.
I think to me, my favorite game that I ever played in besides the national championship
game when I was at OSU was in 2013 when I came back to Green Bay after a couple of,
a couple of steps and a couple of other teams that I visited for a little bit.
And I, and I beat the Cowboys and we had a, we had a big time comeback and I grew up
a Cowboy fan.
I grew up about like an hour and a half away from Dallas and my whole family was there.
And it was kind of a cool little redemption game for me, you know, skipping around to
when I was in Seattle, then Oakland and Buffalo, then I got to go back home to Green Bay.
And, but we had, it was a cool game.
It was, we, I think we were down 20, 23 or 24 points going into the third quarter and
had a cool little comeback.
Okay.
So that was probably my favorite one.
Okay.
So in nowhere was that the, the, the game, the night game against Patriots, so PFT, you
have been proven wrong from Matt Flynn himself.
So let's wait, wait, give Matt a chance to address that.
Well, I mean, he said the first thing I knew probably was the Lions game.
But he probably yards six touchdowns.
He probably forgot.
And even if you didn't forget, I'd like to hear from, from Matt, what was that game
like?
What did that game mean to you?
Now that was a cool game because we did go toe to toe with, with a Sir Tom Brady and
it was a night game, a first start.
So, you know, I, no one really knew if I could play in the NFL, I guess at that point.
So I got my first start, Aaron was a, it was concussed that game, um, that dam, that dam
Dan Connelly returns a kickoff for, you know, an ungodly amount of yards, which pissed me
off royally.
Um, but yeah, that was, that was probably like the, that meant a lot to me, um, as far
as confidence goes, I guess being an NFL quarterback and teammates proven to them and
proven to the coaches, they, I could step into the spotlight and play if I had to.
Um, so for me, for the confidence level, I guess that was, that was probably the biggest
game.
Obviously the lion's game at 11 was the best for, uh, best for the bank account.
Yes.
That's the math fling game.
So, uh, as a backup quarterback, we love backup quarterbacks.
You know, it's always fun to be like, Oh, well, that guy, if he can get in, do you, when
you're standing on the sideline or when you were standing on the sideline in your NFL
career, were you like, Oh shit, I don't want to get in or were you always waiting and ready
to go?
There was one time where I was like, Oh shit, I don't want to go in.
And it was at my last stop when I was playing for the Saints in 2015 and it was a Monday.
I think it was a Monday.
It was a Sunday or Monday night game against the Panthers.
And it was, I think my second week there and the Saints, they got a pretty intricate offense.
They have a different snap count than I'd ever, that I've ever used in any of my stops.
Um, and it was my second week and I was a backup and drew never lets or at least when
I was there, didn't let the backup quarterback take any practice reps.
So I had never even called the real snap count in practice and I'd never called a play in
the huddle.
All I did when I was there was, you know, I'd go and do the, do the warmups and then I
would do the, I'd run the scout team carded plays when I was there.
So I never got to run an offense to play.
And he ends up getting, I think plantar fasciitis in the second or third quarter of that game.
And the doctors look at me and they're like, you better start warming up.
And I'm like, Oh shit, I don't even know what the snap count is in this game.
I don't really want to go in the game.
There's a lot of people watching this one.
Um, but it ended up, he, uh, he ended up going out there and, and toughen it out and
play him.
Um, and he played out there, played out the rest of the year, but I would have just had
to drop back and just kept my head on the swivel and sling the thing.
I guess I don't know.
Yeah.
What I would have done.
Did you ever take special notice of the weird stance that Drew Brees gets into in the huddle
where he kind of drops halfway to one knee when he calls a play out?
That's probably what I was worried most about.
I was like, do I have to emulate Drew when I go into the huddle?
I, you know, he's got these, he's got a very specific, uh, skill set of body language that
he uses in the game on the sideline in the huddle.
I don't know if I can emulate that exactly.
My, my, my game was a little different than Drew's.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, we'll get to some of the past stuff in a second, but, uh, news just came across
the wire here.
Andy Dalton is out for the year.
So they've got Tom Savage.
They've got Jeff Driscoll and Cincinnati.
Are we officially saying that Matt Flynn is retired?
Uh, those words have never come out of my mouth, uh, but it was pretty clear to me that
the NFL was telling me I was when I got my severance check in the mail, but they pretty
much told me I was retired, but I can still swing it a little bit.
Do you want to retire right now?
Do you want to retire on, on our show?
Well, it's hard to cause I do.
I have watched some quarterbacks play and they'll go out and throw a bunch of interceptions
that I'm sitting there watching the game like, man, I could have done that.
Right.
So are you, are you officially, can we say that you are showing interest in the Cincinnati
job?
Uh, no, I'm, I'm, I'm pretty done.
I got it.
I'm, I got a pretty good little dad bod going on, so I don't know if I can do it.
Make that more declarative for us, either retire or don't, don't be pretty much done.
Come on.
Come on.
I'm farming this thing right now.
Okay.
All right.
Fine.
Fine.
Fine.
Fine.
So it's funny that the whole Matt Flynn conversation randomly came up last week and we have you
on because you actually are, you know, you know, better than anyone, maybe the Mike McCarthy,
Aaron Rodgers relationship that has now become like the central point of the Packers season
and the NFL season.
What do you think's going on up there?
Do you think they're just not seeing eye to eye?
Did you ever see anything like that?
I never did.
Aaron is, you know, Aaron is a very, he's an extremely competitive guy, chip on his
shoulder kind of guy.
He's always played like that.
What I mean, he still carries the chip around the shoulder that, you know, he didn't get
offered by Pete Carroll or he had to go to junior college.
He carries all these things and, you know, I think that's a pretty big attribute for
a lot of athletes and especially the quarterback position.
But as far as the McCarthy and Rodgers debate that's going on that I'm hearing a lot, I
never really saw any of that.
There's always going to be some, a little bit of animosity here when, when you start
losing some people, you question everything and sure, I'm sure Aaron's, you know, complained
about play calling here or there for an entire career, but what quarterback hasn't to a
play caller.
Yeah.
You know, they've had a lot of success together now is it an oil and water kind of relationship
now?
I don't really know.
Aaron and I still talk, but, you know, we don't really get into the weeds about, you
know, how the organization is doing and how him and Mike's relationship is, but man,
it's something's got to, something's going on over there and something's got to be fixed
or changed because they've, they've, they've found a way to kind of kind of squander some
of this prime years of one of the best quarterbacks.
Yeah.
So I don't know, something's got to change, but I wish I could give you a little bit better
and a definitive answer.
I wish I could break some news for you, but I can't right now.
No, that's, that's, I mean, that's a fair answer.
I mean, I think, I think what you said, I mean, did you ever have a situation where,
you know, you could see that the quarterback and the head coach were maybe not getting
along and it wasn't a bad thing.
It was just kind of a reality of, Hey, look, people work around, you know, people working
in a cube right now.
They don't love their boss all the time.
Did you ever have a situation like that where that could be what's going on right now in
Green Bay?
Yeah.
I mean, I think you see that a lot.
I mean, there's been, there's been a little bit of stuff leak in the last couple of years
that would lead you to believe that from, you know, them not telling them, Aaron about,
you know, firing the quarterback coach or letting them go, the quarterback coach that
he was, he was close to and not letting them be part of the new quarterback hiring process.
And just some little things that kind of leak out Green Bay does a really good job of keeping
everything pretty tight in that organization.
They keep everything inside the walls there.
Not a lot gets out and it's not a big market up there, a media market.
So there's a lot of stuff that they can, they can kind of, they can kind of keep in house
there.
That's why you don't get a lot.
But you can kind of start connecting some dots that there's got, there's got to be something
a little bit deeper than what we see week in week out and it's showing up on the field
and, you know, I don't think you can point and say like, Oh, it's Mike McCartney's fault.
Oh, it's Aaron Rogers fault or it's there.
You know, they have a splinter relationship because not every head coach loves every player.
Not every quarterback loves his head coach and it's not, I don't think it would be anything
out of the realm of possibility, but I can't, I can't confirm or deny it.
But it's certainly not the first time and that something like that would have happened.
And there's been a lot of successful teams where, you know, I'm sure that the star player
didn't love his head coach, but I'm not, I don't know.
I wish I, I wish I did.
Yeah.
That's fair.
Did you see this tweet from Will Blackman last night?
Yeah.
He said, when I was on the Packers in 2008, we lost four straight road games.
Every time we lost coach McCarthy made sure each hotel got worse.
He said, if you want to stay in a nice hotel, win a damn game.
One hotel in Jackson, I swear was on the first 48.
Is that true?
Did you guys, every time you were, you were on the road and maybe not winning or playing
well, the hotels would get progressively worse.
You know what?
We were terrible.
And see that was my rookie year.
We were like six and 10 a year.
We were awful.
Um, I can't, I don't remember the hotel story, but I do remember the Super Bowl year and
then the, the year after the Super Bowl in 2011, we were 15 and one in the regular season.
I remember it didn't matter if we were going to Chicago, which was like a 30 minute flight
or we were going to the West coast.
We had like the biggest three row plane that we could get the nicest plane.
And then the years that we've not, not have been as good.
We just had the standard seven, 47, whatever it is, the three by three, it wasn't, it wasn't
a really nice plane.
But when we were winning, man, we had those night touch screens on every headrest and
we could watch movies.
We could do whatever we wanted on those planes.
That's funny.
I like it.
I don't remember specifically remember the hotel stuff.
That's a good motivator.
I used to be like, Hey, win a game and I'll start treating you with some luxury.
Yeah.
I agree with that a hundred percent, like go to nicer restaurants.
Yeah.
Like it's, it's the little things that really like when your day is so regimented that you
only have a couple of variables from day to day is those small things that actually
do make you feel better or worse.
Oh, it's the little things when you have a monotony of a 16 game season, it is definitely
the little things that gets you through and keep you sane.
Especially when you live in Green Bay and it's dark, when you go to work, it's dark until
like eight or nine in the winter that gets dark again, like at three in the afternoon.
You never see the light of day when you work in Green Bay for the last six or seven weeks
of the season.
Yeah.
He could just cut off like a gas bill or your electricity.
No heat for you.
Yeah.
If you don't win.
That'd be a little challenging.
So you played with Aaron Rodgers, but you also played with Tom Brady for, looks like
about 60 or 62 days in 2015.
Who's the goat?
Brady or Rodgers?
Oh, man, that's a tough question.
You know, I think from a talent level, definitely Aaron, I mean, the guy's insanely talented
and he's got a photographic memory, which not many people know about him.
But it's hard to argue when Brady can just wear two fistfuls of rings.
It's hard to argue that, but I got to tell you that I feel like Drew Brees has got to
be in the conversation.
That's great.
I see what you're doing.
Yeah.
I got to feel like he's got to be in the conversation at least.
Are you a Kobe guy too?
Are you going to do that?
You're going to be like, I'll give the third answer so that everyone can, I don't have
to be held to this.
That was a good little tactic I used right there.
Just because of my personal relationship, Aaron Rodgers, how about that?
I'm looking through the list and it just so happens you played with all three of those
guys.
Could we say that you're the good luck charm for quarterbacks?
There's no question about it.
I think I really feel like all their careers have kind of gone downhill from the left.
True.
Yes.
To a man.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
It is kind of funny.
I did.
I got a little cup of coffee there in New England.
That was when Tom Brady got his deflate gate suspension, his four game suspension handed
down.
I was actually, and we were on a family vacation in Italy and I got a call from my agent saying,
hey, they want to sign you in New England to bring you in for those four games and back
up Garoppolo.
That's how to fly straight from Italy to New England at that point.
That was an interesting story.
Popping a hamstring, getting cut real fast.
So, yeah, it happens.
Shit happens.
Aaron Rodgers, when he does that little photo bomb thing before games, be honest, it's fucking
lame.
Dude, it's not lame.
Yeah, it is.
I thought I did a lot of photo bombs with him.
Okay.
You're lame too.
Yeah, you're lame too.
That's what we're talking about.
It's the little things.
It's the little things like that.
Even doesn't matter how lame they are, if it gets you through the day a little bit,
it's okay.
All right.
Can we talk a little LSU football because we are big coach-o guys.
Please.
Would you, before the games, when you were in college, would Les Miles come up to you
with a grin and be like, hey, here's the trick play I'm going to do in the third quarter
that everyone knows I'm about to do, but will definitely work?
How'd that work?
This is the plan where I pull out of my ass in the fourth quarter.
Yeah.
You know, he never did that.
He kept a lot of things inside.
He never let us share a whole, whole lot.
We would give him a lot of opinions and thoughts, and he was like, yeah, that's cool, but we're
going to do it this way, and I'll tell you why.
But we always worked on a trick play like the day before, like on the Friday walkthrough.
We'd always do some stupid trick play that we would never run, but he would just literally
draw something up on the board and we'd go do it in a walkthrough.
Never really got called, but the fake field goal that I ran in those sevens where I tossed
it behind my head to the kicker, and he scored a touchdown, it was against South Carolina.
We actually worked on that play for two years before he ever called it in the game, so we
had that little play.
We had that in our back pocket for a long time, and we were so excited when he finally
called it.
I'll tell you what, it was fun playing for him.
I know his time towards the end got a little bit, his due date was up at LSU, but I'm a
Miles fan, man.
I don't have any reason not to be.
I want a championship with him, and I know that it was a little bit hot and cold with
the LSU fans towards the end, and rightfully so, but everything has an expiration date,
and his time had come.
Was there any time when, well, there's one play in particular I'm thinking of.
I think it was against Auburn, it was back in 2007, I believe, where Les Miles went full
Les Miles with his clock management, and just completely disregarded time and space,
and he had you hike the ball with a second left on the clock, when you should have called
a timeout like 30 seconds.
I forget the exact circumstance, but you pulled a horseshoe out of your ass, he scored a touchdown
on it.
Do you remember walking through that final drive thinking to yourself, what is Les doing
with the clock?
You know, probably some of the criticism he gets, probably some of that should have been
on me a little bit.
I probably waited a little too long to snap that ball, but he had called that we were down.
I think we, if we were to kick the field goal to tie it, I believe, I think it's what it
was, and it was third down, they called it, they called just a really base play, like
a max protection, double verticals, and so they called it, I knew what they called it
before, if I get manless, take a shot, if I get zone, drop back, throw it away, we'll
kick a field goal, blah, blah, blah.
So I kind of took my, I took my time a little bit more than last probably, wanted to, which
kind of, which kind of added to the, kind of the legend that is Miles though, the clock
management, kind of the quirkiness was all part of the love for Les Miles at LSU, which
ended up being the hate for Les Miles towards the end, but you know, for some reason, Will
Muschamp, his defense, he was the coordinator at that time at Auburn, he comes out and
just plays like single high man, that stupidest call I'd ever seen.
So I'm looking at my chops, they're pressing, so I just dropped back and we take a shot
if they would just play cover two, I mean, just dropped back, I would have dropped back
and thrown it out of bounds and we would have kicked the field goal, but I think the guy
that was keeping the clock that day was a little excited.
He didn't stop it for like a second or two after he caught it.
So it made it a little bit more dramatic than it should have been, but there was still,
yeah, there was a second left on the clock after that play.
What's the hardest place to play in the SEC, like loudest crowd that maybe we wouldn't think
of. Obviously people are going to say Alabama because they're always good, but what, what's
the place that you're like, man, this was a tough place to play when I, when, when I
was playing there, Auburn was always hard to play.
We never played at college station.
I know that's hard to play now.
We ended up blowing out Mississippi State, my senior year in Mississippi State, but
I know for a fact that it's a hard place to play now.
We, we, we kept, we killed the crowd real early that year in 07, but they have that
cowbell thing going on and I know that place gets pretty rowdy and nobody likes to go to
Starkville anyway, but I think that's kind of a really hard place to play right now.
So, but yeah, maybe I could be cliche and say like Alabama and LSU or Florida, blah,
blah, blah, but I think, I think Starkville is, is sneaky hard.
Okay. So in the, in that 2007 season, you guys got back into the national championship
game because of an unfortunate day by one of our good friends and a former, former colleague
Pat McAfee when he was kicking at West Virginia, I think he missed a couple of kicks inside
like 35 yards.
Did he really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You remember that?
Yeah.
Thank God, man.
Were you watching that game live?
We weren't.
We actually were.
We were flying back from the Mississippi championship where we beat in Tennessee and it was right
after the week, the week prior is when we lost to Arkansas and lost their number one
spot.
Um, we were flying back and I believe it was the West Virginia pit game going on.
And then I believe it was Kansas state in Oklahoma, maybe there was another game going
on that needed to fall in our, in our favor and the pilot kept coming on, uh, coming on
the speaker on the plane and giving us a score update.
And uh, he came on and told us that West Virginia had lost and we all started celebrating
on the plane and I don't know if the pilot was celebrating or what the hell he was doing.
He hit a button and up there in the cockpit and the plane just dropped for like 10 seconds.
The plane just was falling out of the sky.
I don't know what happened, but we're, we just, we were, went from celebrating to everyone
just screaming like, oh shit. And like hitting the ground and stuff like that. So, uh, we
got back up and that's what ourselves often celebrate a little bit more, but I'll never
forget that because it was like in succession celebration. Thought we were going to die.
Then we'd go back to celebrate and 2007 was, I mean, I think most people would agree was
like the craziest college football season of all time. You guys won as two, you lost
twice both times in triple overtime, right? And you still won the national championship.
Like there was, that was a season where every, every time a team got ranked, they would just
lose and like Illinois went to the Rose Bowl and all this weird stuff and like Nick Saban
wasn't Nick Saban yet and all this weird shit happened and you guys somehow survived the
mess of that season. Yeah. It was crazy. I don't know, like the real
stats behind it, but I think, I think the number one team that year lost like seven
or eight times and the number two team lost like eight or nine times or something like
that. Yeah. Every time, cause we got ranked number one twice that year and then got beat
the following week, I think in triple overtime. Yeah. Did you ever get a chance to, to say
we were undefeated or regulation? Yeah. That's true. Good point. Very good. Great
spend zone. How, how intimidating was Jamarcus Russell's arm? Oh, it was scary. I actually
saw that guy. Uh, this is, this is no joke. Now I went to survive. He was in street clothes.
We were walking, leaving practice or leaving meetings for the day. He was in the indoor
facility, picked up a ball and threw it 90 yards. I am, I know that doesn't seem realistic,
but he threw it 90 yards in street clothes. Um, I'd never seen anything like it. Stories
of him throwing it 70 yards from his knees and all that stuff. It's like a once in a
lifetime arm. Obviously it didn't work out for him in the NFL, but I couldn't, I can
only imagine like going to LSU as a freshman and being like, that's the, like I got, that's
that guy's in front of me. Yeah. Well, the problem was was, so we, we were in the same
signing class together out of high school. So we, we went to both came to LSU and O three.
We both red shirted. So my entire career, I get this, like this label on me, um, as having
a weak arm. So this, you know, quote unquote game manager, kind of a weak arm, kind of
accurate and is like shorter, intermediate throws. Can't throw a deep blah, blah, blah.
And I'm sitting there like saying, Hey man, I feel like I got a pretty good arm, right?
I'm, you know, I've competed with, with the best guys come out of high school and, and
these college camps and things like that. And I feel like I stack up pretty well against
them. Um, but I'm throwing it right here against your Marcus Russell, who's like flicking his
wrist and it's going 60 yards. And I'm just like, I got veins in my neck and popping out
of my forehead, trying to like match them in practice. Um, then so it's, that was kind
of the stigma I got. And it was pretty much because of Marcus Russell. So I can, I can
blame that on him that I got this weak arm stigma going on.
So I want to jump back to, uh, to your professional career for a little bit. So after, um, after
the Matt Flynn game, which is still up for debate, we're not sure exactly which one that
is. Uh, but after the Matt Flynn game, you get a nice little contract from the Seattle
Seahawks and you go in there. Um, I, my guess is that you presume that you would be the
starter when you got the contract. Uh, how long into that first training camp where you're
like, you know, uh, this Wilson Wilson kid might be pretty good.
Yeah, man, it's really annoying. It's very annoying. I went there and obviously I was,
went there with the mindset that I was going to start. I mean, I was, I'd never was told
about Seattle like, Hey, we're going to just kind of give you the keys to the car. You're
going to have to compete. Oh, well, that's kind of Pete Carroll's, Pete Carroll's mantra
is competition. But I didn't think I really thought the competition was between me and
Tavares Jackson at the time, who was the, uh, the start of the previous year. He was still
there. Um, and then I don't know. We, we went into training camp and we would split three
days. So like the first day training camp, Tavares or go to the ones the next day I would
go, the next day Russell would go and it went like that for a long time. And yeah, he was
really good. And, um, and I could see that he was a playmaker, but I still never really
thought in my mind I was like, Oh, well, he's going to beat me out as a rookie after they
brought me in here. Um, I didn't really think that was going to happen. And obviously, obviously
it did. And I was pretty, I was pretty pissed at the time. Um, but I guess it, I guess it's
worked out for the Seahawks. Um, he's, he's done okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's easier to like
sit back as an, as like a, as a competitor. You always think you're the best, right? And
you can be, and I'm a competitive little shit all the time. And, but it, I guess it is,
um, a little bit better to sit back and be like, all right, well, he's, he's turned out
to be a really good quarterback for a long time. I didn't get beat out by some champs
that last for the year. Yeah. You didn't get beat out by Tavares Jackson. That would
have, that would have been a blow. I still think I was playing my best football when
I was up there too, which, which really pissed me off. Then I went to the next year and
played my worst football ever. Anyway, but you are now that I'm thinking about, you really
are the good luck charm for starting quarterbacks, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, Tom Brady and
Aaron Rogers. I mean, that's kind of a ridiculous list of guys that you backed up. I, I didn't
do a really good job when I played for the, uh, the Raiders bills or jets. No, we don't
have to talk about that. Yeah. We don't have to talk about those. So I have one last question,
a C key question promo code take, uh, put in promo code, take your $10 off C key purchase.
So you have a career that, uh, like you said in Seattle, you were frustrated because you
thought you were playing your best football. You, you, you won a national championship.
You, you were back up in the NFL for, you know, a lot of years, you made some good money.
Do you consider yourself like you consider your career in the NFL success or how do you
look at that? Because obviously from where we're sitting, it was a wild success. Like
you got to play in the NFL for a long time, made a ton of money, but I understand the
other side where you're talking about how you're a competitive guy and want to compete.
I look at it as a, as a success because if you, I mean, specifically it was a success.
You look at all the people that don't make it any of the average in the NFL, I think
it's 3.3 years or whatever. So from a, you know, financial standpoint from, um, like
making it out of the NFL without any serious injuries, playing a long time, getting good
retirement benefits, all the stuff successful, right? Had some success, had some really great
games. Um, and I think that I, I got, definitely got a lot of breaks. I mean, a lot of timing
wise and a lot of, a lot of the NFL is timing anyways, but a lot of the timing stuff definitely
went my way, but also caught up, caught some bad breaks along the way. Um, so when you,
when you, even those things out, I was in a good place when I retired. Like I, I wasn't,
um, when I stopped playing, uh, I wasn't mad about it. I know a lot of guys out there
that when, when they just can't, they can't get rid of that bug once they're not playing
anymore. They, they think about it all the time. They, they're like, I'm going to go
try Canada or I'm going to do this and I'll do whatever I can to get back. Like I was
in a good place when I, when I, when I left the game, when I still like to be playing
and do, I think that I could have been a contributor for, uh, longer than I was. Absolutely.
I could have, uh, or at least in my, in my mind, we need them. Uh, I mean, they're, you know,
dumb or stubborn or confident. I don't know what it, what it is. It's probably all about
the same thing when you think about it, but, um, I definitely think that I could have, uh,
in parts of my career when I was playing really well, been a, been a successful starter and
then certainly been, um, been around the league for a lot longer than I was, but I was in a
good place and I left. So to me success, but I, I, I, there was some stones that I never
got to turn over. Yeah. And, and you are on the Mount Rushmore of backup, uh, quarterback.
I mean, that's the, you, you, you sit on that. Who else was on that Mount Rushmore?
Probably, uh, I would guess Charlie Whitehorse or Charlie Whitehurst. I assume that we'll
put them on there. I think Chas Batch might have been on there. Um, I can't remember who
else we had on there. We'll pull it up right now, but it was a list list. Yeah. Kyle Orton.
Could have been Kyle. Um, but there, it was a good list of guys that, like I said, Whitehorse
has a name now. Yeah. That is good name. It's good name for like a bar. Um, but it's, it's,
it's like a weird, the backup quarterback is a weird spot to be in pro sports because
people kind of know you, especially most of the guys were backup quarterbacks were successful
in college, obviously, and people knew them there and then they go to the NFL and there's
always this like, it's this weird intrigue, I think with backup quarterbacks, like could
they do it? You know, and you did it a couple times, especially the Matt Flynn game against
the Lions, 480 yards, six touchdowns, not to brag. That is the Matt Flynn game. So I
think there's, there's this weird what if that hangs over a lot of backup quarterbacks
heads. And I think you kind of described it perfectly just now. Yeah, there, there is
definitely a what if there is certainly a risk that teams take when there's a bringing
a backup in as a starter, but it's proven to be successful and it's been proven to be
unsuccessful as well. It's just, uh, I've seen a lot of really good players, not just
at the quarterback position. I've seen some really, really good players never make a team
or never get the opportunity to show people, um, they're, whether they're on the right
team or they get an injury or they just, they're behind someone really good. And I've
also seen some not very good players play a long time in the NFL. Uh, so it's all, it's
certainly circumstance and you got to be put in the right situation and you have to have
people in your corner that allow you to have mistakes. Um, and certainly when you're a
backup and you go to be in that starter, you aren't as awarded as many mistakes as you
are as a first or second round guy coming out of college.
Yeah. Uh, I have one last question. And Pete, do you have another question?
I was going to, yeah.
Go ahead. You go.
I was just going to say that like a little sliding doors moment there, if you had been
like Drew Brees when you were in Seattle, then maybe Russell Wilson would never have
gotten that starting job because you wouldn't have let him take those reps.
There it is.
And you would have won that Super Bowl.
There it is.
And you probably would have won two because you wouldn't have thrown that interception
on the two yard line.
Yeah.
We might have won three or four Super Bowls in a row for sure.
Was there, my last question is, was there ever a moment where you said to yourself when
you were in Green Bay, okay, Brett Favre Hall of Famer, then passes it off to Aaron Rogers,
Hall of Famer, then passes off to Matt Flynn, Flynn, future Hall of Famer.
Did you ever let yourself think that?
Well, I would have eventually had to been really old before it got passed me.
I think Aaron's like a year and a half older than me.
Okay.
Well, you know what I mean.
Yeah.
I've got to wait around, but now to make cool, you know.
I did make fun of Aaron a lot after my game at 11 saying that I just basically crushed his
records.
Yeah.
He did.
He did.
You showed it.
You proved it.
Although he had just tied it.
How do you, a year or two later, throw for exactly 480 yards?
How do you not throw for a yard less or more?
I know why.
I know why.
I think it was against Mark Trussman's Bears.
That Sunday night football game where he had four touchdowns in the first half and it was
a video game.
Yeah.
That sucked.
Yeah.
That sucked.
He's not a good guy, Aaron Rodgers.
Come on.
Oh, what I'm talking about.
I'm talking to a guy that doesn't like him.
I got you.
Yeah.
You're talking to a bear.
I just finally let you.
Yeah.
I'm just going to be open about it.
I hate him.
That's okay.
That's okay.
You don't have to like everybody.
True.
I'll tell you what.
I do.
All of you guys, I listen to you guys, big fans.
I first started listening to you guys last year.
It was probably some of the best sports journalism I've ever seen or heard during the draft last
year.
You got first round draft coverage.
It was brilliant.
Nice.
Thank you.
Thank you for that.
So I appreciate the opportunity to come on your show.
And it's been a lot of fun, fellas.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Have you on again sometime?
Yeah.
I've never talked themselves off the show in such an eloquent manner.
That was unbelievable what you just did.
You got it.
Yeah.
That's the alpha, beta backup quality.
That was there right there.
Yeah.
Damn.
You're such a good locker room guy.
You're like, all right, I'll let you guys go.
All right, Matt Flynn.
Thank you so much.
We appreciate it, man.
And hopefully we'll talk soon.
All right.
Appreciate it, guys.

Okay, let's get to some segments.
We forgot Matt Moore and we just Googled Matt Hasselback and Mike Glennon.
I feel like he's a Matt.
He's definitely a Matt.
He's Matt Jr.
Yeah.
Matt Glennon would definitely work.
Matt Jr. Glennon.
Okay.
Let's do some segments.
First up, we have, we alluded to it, someone's fucking with Adam Schefter.
So two weeks ago, he dropped the Condoleezza rice news that the Browns were considering
hiring her as a head coach that was almost instantly debunked as fake.
And he ran with it.
And then he also today tweeted out that the Browns signed Ruben Foster.
So someone in the Browns organization is fucking with Matt, or sorry, Adam Schefter.
Yeah.
Matt Schefter.
Yeah.
Matt Schefter.
Yeah.
Matt Schefter.
He'd be way better of a quarterback.
Matthew Berry.
Way better athlete.
Yeah.
He might just be Baker.
This hasn't happened in past years.
Yeah.
Like we haven't seen anybody that's like, that gets football in the Browns organization
that knows it well enough to be like, Hey, maybe we should try to like find out who a
rat is.
Mm hmm.
So that's what it sounds like to me.
Like John's like going one by one through his list.
Maybe it's moose.
Maybe it's maybe it's moose the dog here.
Go along with me here for a second.
Baker Mayfield.
We went into the Cleveland Browns facility.
We told him, Listen, we got your back.
You got ours.
What has he done since?
He's been tipping off Adam Schefter with fake shit and making him look like an idiot because
he knows.
Yeah.
We got a little rivalry with the P-man.
Yeah.
That's true.
P-boy.
P-man.
Maybe he's been going after him.
Yeah.
I like that.
I like that idea a lot.
Maybe it's Joe Thomas.
Mm hmm.
Joe Thomas.
He left the team a year ago.
He's just making stuff up.
He's got a lot of time on his hands.
Either way, Schefter's taken some L's.
Yeah.
He's taken some L's and I don't know how he recovers from this.
I think he just probably just stops tweeting.
Yeah.
Just probably.
Yeah.
He'll go to ESPN stats and info and ask him for like a weird stat for this Thursday night
game.
Mm hmm.
And then just totally take somebody else's work.
Tweet that.
I like fun stat about this and that'll throw people off the track.
That's what he does.
Also, it's going to be basketball season soon.
So oh yeah.
No, what he really will do is he'll confirm someone else's report working to confirm their
report.
Yes.
Because no other reporter knows how to confirm a report.
He's also big on inserting himself into scoops.
Oh yeah.
Where it's like per mort and me.
Yes.
Oh yeah.
You got to know.
Yeah.
I was in the conversation in the bathroom.
Yeah.
I was taking a shit.
I heard him.
I have Mort's phone tapped.
Yeah.
And I'm reading all his text messages right now.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Okay.
We have a PR 101 for Reggie Bush.
Now Reggie Bush, what was the exact tweet that he threw out there?
So I don't have the exact tweet pulled up right now, but he was saying that he's been consuming
a lot of new information about how vaccines might not be good for you.
And he went to Twitter and was like, Hey, Twitter, what do you guys think about this about maybe
vaccines being bad?
And he said he was watching on YouTube.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's great.
That's where you get the good advice.
Hank.
Yeah.
As Maga Hank, I would assume that you would know that.
He said, when did you get red pilled, Hank?
Whoa.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, no, he doesn't take vaccines.
Yeah.
Reggie's getting red pilled.
It's wild that people, I mean, these people, they realize how much they're fucking it up
for everyone else.
Yeah.
Like all the other kids get fucked up because, you know, one kid doesn't get vaccinated.
Here you go, Reggie.
In terms, you can understand if Kim Kardashian had gotten the Gardasil vaccine, then your
dick wouldn't look like a cauliflower.
There we go.
I also appreciate Reggie Bush, at least having the, he was nice enough to be like, here's
a discussion I'm thinking about, fam, and not be like a declarative statement.
Like, let's discuss.
He's just asking questions.
He's actually using Twitter for exactly what it should be used for.
Like, let's learn some more together.
Let me hear what the people have to say.
People responded.
They were, they were ready to go.
Been keeping up.
I know the truth.
You've asked questions is all.
I don't even know what the fuck that means.
This is.
I know the truth.
No.
Yeah.
Someone replied to that with him.
I mean, this is okay.
There were some great replies in there.
One lady that was like, I've got three kids, 15, 13 and nine and none of them are getting
vaccinated.
It's like, well, you probably already did.
Yeah.
That's probably, well, you do get vaccinated when you're like a little baby.
Yeah.
Like very small.
Yeah.
When you don't really have the right.
And those weirdos who are like, don't circumcise, wait, wait, it takes away 14 essential functions
from your penis, dude.
Oh.
Have you ever talked to one of those guys?
Uh, I didn't.
I have not.
A lot of dick talk on this show.
I have.
I've had an enlightening conversation.
We have a new segment, new segment alert, Hank, play the sound.
That was PFT, Hank, you play the sound.
Play the sound, Hank.
The new segment.
Do the sound.
Do it.
I'm supposed to do something.
Yeah.
You're supposed to make it up right now.
You nailed it.
You nailed it.
I actually, I think my favorite, uh, new sound that Hank's done is the stats and info department.
Yeah.
That's a really good.
Give us that real quick.
I'm not going to do that.
Okay.
Hey, hey, hey.
What was the last time we had a new segment?
Yeah.
Can you look up how many new segments we've had?
One.
Uh, okay.
So new segment alert, it's called click for more.
Now, PFT, you explain which one.
This is actually, uh, I think we're going to hit on some gold here because we, the parallel
thought you explained it to me, I was like, dude, I do this all the time.
So explain it.
All right.
So have you ever been to a website and you scroll down just past the end of the article
before it, or it's right after the comment section, yes, which is where all the real
news happens anyways, but you get right below that and there are all these weird targeted
ads that are just really fucked up and make no sense whatsoever.
And you wonder who in the world clicks on these.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we do.
We click on them a lot because they're so stupid.
And there was a great one that was on Yahoo.
This was pointed out by Ben Koo from awful announcing it.
This was about our good friend, recurring guest of the program, Joe Buck.
Okay.
On Yahoo, you scroll down to the bottom.
The sponsored link here is Joe Buck pauses on air, makes huge announcement.
The famed broadcaster is in hot water with Fox after he stops calling a game to make
a wild confession.
Hmm.
Am I going to click on that?
You're absolutely right.
Yeah, you are.
Click on that and see what happens.
So takes you to the article, Joe Buck now nearly 50 has always been seen as a straight
talking hall of fame broadcaster.
Even as one of the most prominent faces in the media, he still doesn't hold back when
discussing all topics, especially his personal life.
It's about to get juicy.
Uh-oh.
However, his latest comments have even made Fox's sponsors uneasy.
Buck caused havoc last week when he revealed his new erectile dysfunction cure during a
live broadcast of NFL on Fox.
He did?
Quote, I have done my research and spoken to specialists and industry insiders about
the topic, Buck mentioned on the show, and they helped us create this product, HD Testo.
And mate, can I tell you, that's how you know it's written by, this is really Joe Buck.
And mate, can I tell you, this stuff is very potent.
I've tried Viagra.
I've tried Tidalafil, okay, but that sounds like a great name for a pill that gives you
boners.
You go Tidalafil.
I've tried Seattle, HD Testo blows them all away.
Wow.
So Joe Buck, care to come on the podcast to discuss your experience with HD Testo.
Listen, ever, if you don't click on these, I was telling you PFT, I got into a rabbit
hole the other day, some kid in Iowa built a house in his backyard, 75 square feet.
It was fucking fascinating.
And I found it because I clicked on this is like, you'll never believe what this kid
in Iowa, like the youngest homeowner ever.
Yeah.
I mean, it was a little shitty shack, but man, it was cool.
All these fake stories, they're so awesome.
So it goes on.
So Viagra and Seattleists were furious as they do much of their marketing on Fox's platforms,
calling for his apology and for removing him from Fox sports play by play program.
How is this not a bigger story?
If those companies thought Buck was going to back down, they clearly didn't know the
type of man that he is.
He appeared again when TMZ caught up to him the following week, not to apologize, but
to offer viewers free samples.
I won't let anyone intimidate me, he said during his appearance.
I am so confident in the product, I'm offering it to the viewers for free.
HD Testo is the product of thousands of hours of research and development.
I wouldn't talk about it if I didn't believe in it and have tried it myself.
This should be headline news and somehow it's gone slip down to the comments section in
these ads that are not made up at all.
It's very sad that we're out here, sports media.
We're doing this type of real journalism.
When you've got the other guys just getting jerked around on a leash by John Dorsey.
You probably have a couple viruses from that, but that's okay, because you know what I,
you know, here's a little life hack for you.
Well, I got vaccinations.
Sometimes I get so interested in one of these ads, I get the facts of it and then I Google
it and try to find a reputable source that has it.
I really want to know what this fucking kid in Iowa built.
One of my favorite things is if there's a medicine that's too good to be true, but maybe,
because it sounds like it would be cool, I'll Google it and then I'd look at the first page
of Google results and they're all very clearly written by the makers of that pill, but they
have very tricky titles that say like, this stuff can't possibly work.
Explanation of this medicine not working debunked and you click on it, but it's just clearly
like it actually works.
It's amazing.
Yeah, it's, I mean, it's basically the business insider model of the Twitter ads or the Twitter
videos where you don't need to know any of this shit, but you will always, I watched
a fucking video the other day, they're like, how did these two planes fly against like
next to each other?
It's like, well, they did it because they can both fly and they made a promo video and
I watched like a three minute video about how planes flew next to each other and I
didn't learn anything, but I would never give back those three minutes.
Those were great three minutes spent just mindlessly sitting on the internet wasting
my life away.
Yeah.
You know what?
That's what life is.
We should start clicking on more of these sponsored ads and then seeing the products and then
actually ordering the products.
Okay.
So send us, if you see any of these ads, the click for more, send us which ones, maybe
screenshot it.
Don't send me a link because I'm not clicking on that shit, but yeah, I'm in, I'm in.
We should just get to the bottom of everything on the internet through HD test though.
This is like, this is like load me up.
This is like a wormhole.
Listen, we'll end up on the other side.
If we keep clicking on the dark web, very dark, right or we're eventually we'll just
have a matrix.
You can get to the matrix by clicking on enough dick pills.
That's a fact.
I think you're right.
You become Neo.
Yeah.
Exactly.
All right.
Last up before we get to guys on chicks.
Why didn't, why didn't you take the little blue pill when he was offered?
You don't want a boner?
I haven't seen it in so long.
Matrix two and three sucked.
It kind of, it kind of lost me when they, when they talked to the old guy and I was
like, wait, is he God or is he just a scientist?
Yeah.
And it was one of those ones that they tried to be like, oh man, it's so deep, like, but
dude, it's fucking Keanu Reeves.
You know what happened?
So like right when matrix two and three were coming out, that movie shooter came out when
they did the spinning bullets that could curve.
And I was like, okay, matrix is too advanced for my brain because they've started to actually
talk about weird stuff.
Right.
I want, oh wait, this bullet curves.
Okay.
Now I'm switching over.
Yes.
I'm switching horses going to shooter.
Matrix.
All right.
Let's finish up with, well, that makes sense.
So this is a story from Oakland University or Oakland College in Detroit.
I love, I love, I love Oakland college because I always been on them in basketball and I'm
like, I'm betting on Oakland and they're like, oh fuck, I forgot it's the Detroit school.
But they have decided to give out hockey pucks to their staff because that is the best way
to train them to thwart an active shooter.
They have told everyone in their, they're trying to give out 1,700 pucks and they said
to fight effectively, faculty and students need to be prepared to throw heavy objects
that will cause a distraction.
So Gordon says pucks fit the bill and can conveniently be carried in briefcases or backpacks.
That makes sense.
So we're fighting guns.
We're going to a gunfight with a hockey puck.
A hockey puck.
Yeah.
Well, the, the fatal flaw in this plan is like, what if the guy's a hockey player?
If he's a defenseman, they're used to just lying down and taking those shots.
Yeah.
What if he brings a goalie mitt?
Yeah.
Well, if it's a basketball player and they get hit with a puck, they'll be out for like,
they'll be out of commission for six months.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
So maybe that's what they're counting on.
Yeah.
Right.
I don't, I wonder if they practice this and then they get their coursey stats.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Like they've got, they, they just,
The guy walks in with big pads and they just start hocking the hockey pucks.
They go onto the ice and they've got like the, the four targets set up in each corner
of the goal and you just whip the pucks with your hand.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's like you're throwing like tens of thousands of swords at somebody at once.
Also, I don't think anyone has books anymore.
They just have computers.
That's what Wikipedia is for.
Uh, okay.
Let's finish up guys on chicks.
Can you go down a 20 foot water slide pregnant?
What?
Uh, 20 foot, what?
Yeah.
Sure.
On your back.
So this person's pregnant and they're trying to go to the Wisconsin Dells for Christmas.
I just need to know how pregnant.
Oh, it's the indoor bro.
Yeah.
It's gross.
It's really gross.
So maybe she's trying to, you know, yeah, just go to cruise and shubbies instead.
Deep thought.
Yeah.
That sounds great.
Yeah.
You got this.
Uh, sure.
We're doctors.
We, yeah.
You could do it.
Is that like one of those new agey type things like dolphin births?
Or if you, a water park birth?
Well, if the, if the, it's like a dolphin birth for someone that lives in Orlando.
If the water whooshes up your virgin, maybe the baby just drinks.
Yeah.
I don't know.
No, probably not.
Okay.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't, I don't want to, how fun is this?
Is this water slide?
That's really the question.
If it's a fun one, go for it.
If it's like one of those, you know, kind of like, you don't know how long, when it
was built and there's kids pissing everywhere.
Don't do it.
Yeah.
Also, if you're, if you're too pregnant and you could get stuck in there for sure.
So you don't want to do that.
How do I get my husband to clean himself in the shower?
He leaves the shower smelling just as bad as when he went in.
Um, does he not know how showers work?
You need to get a new husband.
I think, I think this one's broken.
Oh, I was going to say, you need to get one of those collars that they have at the groomers
and just treat them like a dog and just wash them down.
Just have, just put his neck on it and a big sink.
Yeah.
Just like, you can't move until I've finished washing you down.
Just get, yeah.
Get a, a power hose.
He's definitely just jerking off and taking a shit in there, by the way.
He's not shower.
And then he's, he's, he's like, putting a little water through his hair.
It's like, whew.
Yeah.
Great shower.
Might be smoking a cigarette in there.
Yeah.
That's weird.
Smelly people who are just jet, like naturally smelly are very weird because there's always
solutions that you can try.
Right.
Right.
Like if you smell, you should know you smell, but there are people out there who just smell
and they just refuse to, you know, admit it.
It's actually called the country of France.
Sup boys.
My boyfriend and I are going to Minneapolis in the middle of December.
Was that Minneapolis?
Minneapolis?
Minneapolis.
Yeah.
Minneapolis.
Besides freezing my tits off, what are some fun things to do there?
There's a mall.
Mall America.
There's a mall.
It's got a, it's got a.
Indoor sidewalks.
Indoor sidewalks.
Well, holy shit.
What's the point, Hank?
You go to the Super Bowl.
I assume they do that every year there.
Yeah.
It's a tradition.
Go to state fair and eat butter.
Yeah.
That's probably summer time.
Yeah.
Ice fishing.
Yeah.
Eat Ludifisk.
Yep.
So here's a fun tip.
Okay.
Little recipe time with PFT.
You buy a fish from the store and you forget about it in your fridge for nine months and
then you just take it out and you bite into it with your bare hands.
There you go.
Ludifisk.
You could go watch Andrew Wiggins try to shoot a basketball even though he can't.
Hey boys.
I would say they don't care when you ask them what they want for Christmas.
Because we really don't care.
Because we really just want cash.
Yeah.
Like that's really the answer.
If you want to get your significant other, something very nice for Christmas.
It is C-A-S-H cash.
That's what Coach Oh gets that for his wife every year.
I mean, listen, at some point it's like, you know, gifts or presents and that stuff, those
are for kids.
When kids are too dumb to realize that cash is better than any toy you could ever have.
When you become an adult and you realize cash is king and you don't want the new handbag
or TV or whatever it may be, I want the cash so I can pay my bookie.
All right.
We're going to end with a woe.
This one's from Jolan Bioka, who's actually a listener.
He sent us his tweet before it went viral and then followed up after it went viral.
Oh, we had someone go viral without us knowing.
Yeah.
You were supposed to be the viral police.
No, that's the woe right there.
Yeah.
Woe.
Woe.
The reason it's due to break a leg in an audition is because they're hoping you end up in the
cast.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Fuck.
All right.
That's wild.
Alex Smith's about to win a Tony.
Damn it.
All right.
That's the end of the show.
I mean, you can't get better than that.
That's great.
Love you guys.
