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 pardon my take, we have the MVP, Mitch Trebisky, on the show.
We told you after Grit Week, we had a couple leftover interviews, so we have Mitch Trebisky
today, we have Ryan Fitzpatrick on Wednesday.
I wouldn't even call them leftover interviews.
No.
They're just good interviews.
Yes.
They're just not enough week for us.
Yes.
So, Mitch Trebisky, awesome interview.
Talked to him about everything.
This was taped before he lit up the Bears in pre-season game two.
We're going to talk a little bit about pre-season week two.
We have who's back of the week.
We have Mount Rushmore of Buildings, and we're going to do it all in a second.
We're brought to you by our friends at Chevy.
The Chevy Silverado is the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever.
Silverado is strong, advanced, dependable, hardworking.
It is the best truck ever created.
Use it for tailgating, hauling, towing, off-roading, moving day, helping out your friend or family
member, road trips.
I actually, when we were in Buffalo, staying at our hotel, I saw a guy get into a Chevy
Silverado, and I had big time FOMO of not having a Silverado.
I had a Silverado for one weekend last year, and it was the greatest weekend of my life.
So if you want to have the greatest life, go buy a Chevy Silverado right now.
It is the greatest truck that has ever been created.
We're still running our deal, say code PMT, or take in a salesperson's ear.
They'll give you $100 off your Chevy Silverado and tell them that we sent you.
So check it out.
If you're looking in the market for a truck, if you're thinking, hey, can I be a truck
person?
Well, you can.
Chevy Silverado, the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever.
Okay, let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
It's part of my take, presenting my Barstool sports.
Welcome to part of my take presented by Chevy Silverado, the strongest, most advanced Silverado
ever.
Today is Monday, August 23rd.
And boys, we officially have made it.
We have just completed the last weekend without meaningful football.
We are here.
Next Saturday, College Football Week Zero happens.
You might say, I don't want to watch you converse Fresno State, I don't watch Nebraska
vs. Illinois.
I want to watch all of it.
Yeah.
By meaningful football, when I hear that, I think Scott Frost and Belima.
Belima.
You got it.
You almost didn't pull that.
You almost didn't pull that.
I almost said, I almost said, Lovey Smith.
You had it in your head.
I saw you.
I've got to do a hard reset.
Yeah.
This happens every year.
Yeah.
We forget about the different teams, the different players are on.
Remember Corey Davis is a jet.
And we do.
Bud Dupri's on the Titans.
Bud Dupri's on the Titans.
Yeah.
It was funny.
We were on Pittsburgh radio on what?
Tuesday morning.
Yeah.
I was like, I like Bud Dupri, and they just looked at me like Bud's no longer here.
In Tennessee, and I had your back, and I was like, listen, guys, this is what happens
to us.
It takes us a second to just hard reset, but we're here.
We finally have gotten to the point where I need someone to tweet me tomorrow morning,
like we will have football, or Jake, you figure it out.
How many days in a row, how many days, weekends in a row will we have football?
You got it.
Also, Josh Allen reminded you guys in an interview that Emmanuel Sanders is on the
bill.
Yes, that's right.
You have to remember, I do think, though, that the Steelers should have a linebacker
that just becomes the name Bud Dupri.
It's a great name for Steelers.
But we made it.
We've made it.
Football is back.
Week zero, baby.
Week zero.
Let me just give you the week zero.
It's football week.
If you want to just think about it.
All right.
So Nebraska at Illinois starts it off.
Hawaii at UCLA, Yukon at Fresno State, Southern Utah at San Jose State, throw out the record
books when those two teams play, and then the nightcap UTEP at New Mexico State.
I love it.
I don't.
Yeah, I'm going to be watching all of it.
It's going to be great.
It's going to be one of those days where you sit down and you're like, I don't know how
much football I'm going to watch today.
You're going to put it on and you're going to be on your couch all day because we've
missed it.
So very deeply.
Yes.
So we've made it.
Preseason week two happened.
We're back from Grit Week.
Great Grit Week.
By the way, if you didn't see, we posted shirts Friday afternoon, probably the worst time
to do it.
So please go buy a shirt if you can.
It says, uh, was it sauciness size, sauciness crunch, and it is a shirt that a hundred percent
of the net proceeds are going to add in Alicia to hopefully get them on the road to getting
their own restaurant wing nuts, which it's, I'll fully admit it.
It's a, it's somewhat selfish because I'm hoping that they hit it so big that it just
becomes a franchise around the country and whatever city you're in.
There's a wing nuts.
I don't know if that would have, I don't know if Ed would let that happen.
I don't know.
Hands on with his wings.
Yeah.
Listen, you're not ashamed to admit that.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I told like seven different people the full story of wing
nuts this weekend and just how good the wings were.
I was on DC radio at noon on Friday and they asked me a question about like, uh, what do
you think about Samus Reyes?
I know he's out with a concussion, but do you think that he's going to be able to step
into that third tight end rule?
And I was like, let me tell you a little bit about wing nuts and Buffalo and I went on
like a five minute, unprompted diet tribe about how great these wings were.
So yes, I do hope that they get their own place.
I had people hit me up being like, dude, were they really that good?
And I was like, stop everything you're doing.
They're fucking better than that.
I went out to dinner last night at a bar that I know has great chicken wings here in town
and I looked at him and I got like a knot in the pit of my stomach.
I'm like, I can't order these wings.
I actually, the wing nuts ruin chicken wings for me because I can't have another wing.
I would actually say like, I'm not a religious person.
I think religion is kind of a crock of shit, but I, I understand now why people like see
the light because that's what wing nuts is to me.
Yeah.
Like you could see me being a crazy person sitting outside of Madison Square Garden being
like, have you absolved your sins and have you eaten at wing nuts?
Dude, if churches had wings in them, I would go all the time.
Yes.
So I get it.
I get it.
People just got crackers in wine.
It's kind of a crock of shit.
I lose, you lose yourself in religion.
I've lost myself in wing nuts.
Yeah.
We're there.
We're the same people when it comes out to us.
Speaking of religion, I think Billy may have seen the light this weekend in the pre-season.
Billy.
Yeah.
It's a good segue to our pre-season week to talk.
So pre-season wrap up for week two, the dress rehearsal, we did the math.
Dress rehearsal was the second, third and fourth quarter of week two.
So Zach Wilson got in, played pretty well, went nine for 11, had a bunch of, what, two
touchdowns?
Two touchdowns, around 128 yards, I think that may be wrong.
But he looked amazing.
He was seeing the field.
He was just picking part on the Packers defense.
It was honestly like amazing to see as a Jets fan.
And I shot from the hip and shot out there.
You know, I was watching the highlights again today and I was like, Zach Wilson wins the
Super Bowl for the Jets, I'm going to convert to Mormonism.
Okay.
No more beers, Billy.
Wow.
No more caffeine.
No, no, you can.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
The thing is, when I said that, I was like, yeah, I'll just convert, but then I forgot
about all the strict stuff.
You forgot about the entire religion.
I guess, technically, you could just be a bad Mormon.
Yeah, I'll be a bad Mormon.
Right.
I'm so down to be a bad Mormon.
Okay.
I got my.
The kidnapper guy.
Yeah.
My inboxes got flooded.
Oh, jeez.
Deep cut.
Yeah, just kid stuff.
You can let Jake Jerk here.
Oh, I'm trying to think of Mormons.
It's just kid stuff.
Jeez.
But yeah, then I got a bunch of DMs from Mormon missionaries, which is kind of hilarious.
Oh, yeah.
Well, yeah.
They fucking smelled fudge.
They were like, hey, can we talk to you about the church of the Latter-day States?
Yeah.
Billy's a hot lead right now.
He's like, win the Super Bowl first.
So basically, Zach Wilson may be on his mission converting people by making them make Super
Bowl bets.
So there you go.
Okay.
Yeah.
Join the movement.
Yeah.
Billy, you could actually have a church named after.
If you recruited enough people to get in this same boat with you.
Actually, if enough jet fans join me and they win a Super Bowl, then yeah, we should feel
like a whole pack.
I honestly think that you could pull jet fans and say, would you give up caffeine, alcohol,
sex before marriage, if it meant that you got a Super Bowl title and a bunch of wives.
You could get a bunch of wives.
Yeah.
We would just be bad Mormons.
I'd open like a bad Mormon temple.
I think you, all right.
So let's clarify.
Imagine if Greeny signed up and he'd be like, my wives.
I think you have to give, I think if you win a Super Bowl, you have to give, you have
to be a good Mormon for a year at least.
Gee.
Yes.
You can't.
Yeah.
Otherwise, what is this?
How about the rest of February?
No, no, no, no, no.
This is nothing.
Otherwise, you, if Zach, I would actually convert.
Yes.
And you have to be, you have to follow all the rules for one full year.
That is ridiculous.
Sorry.
You sent it.
The clock resets.
I think you can do caffeine.
Nope.
Billy, I'll say this.
If Zach Wilson wins a Super Bowl and it, so it's over the course of his entire career
for the Jets.
For the Jets.
Yeah.
For the Jets.
Before the Jets.
If he wins and you do not follow the Mormon rules, you're fired.
You're fired until you complete a year.
Now you can be on.
You can stay on the show.
Now I'm a Jets fan.
In that first year.
Jesus.
But if you fuck up, then you're out.
Bro, being Mormon free?
Yes.
You said it.
I like forgot about what Mormon's actually do.
All right.
So that's the deal.
Other things.
Big Ben looked awesome.
Yes.
Big Ben's pump fake is back.
It also made me, I don't know why I started following this guy, but it went back to the
writer Ryan Burr.
Remember when we read his tweets?
He was bumping all his tweets.
Just as a refresher, he said Ben's camp says biggest concern is weight loss.
He has been so driven since season ended, sources say his diet is stricter than Brady
and source goes on to say from an arm standpoint, Ben is more likely to win his first league
MVP.
They've finished outside top 10 in passing again has been Ben is the source.
But I listen when like there's signs of Big Ben when he is doing that pump fake that gets
the entire gets the camera to move and then he throws to Heath Miller for a touchdown.
It's like, okay, the Steelers are back.
Steelers are big time officially back.
Heath Miller looked great as he's ever been.
Looks like he's still 25 years old out there.
It's preseason for the cameraman too, because I've been noticing a lot of that unlike play
actions.
They're getting do pretty easily.
Yes.
And if you're a cameraman right now, you have to buckle down because the robot cameras
in the end zones that are shooting in 8k are coming for your job.
Yes.
So we need to buckle that shit up by week one.
I would have this been as my number one quarterback in the division this been that we saw from
the last week.
Well, let's not forget, by the way, our friend Joe Burrow is coming back.
I feel like we haven't said his name.
I haven't heard his name out there that much.
Joe Burrow, he was, what did we end up calling him last year?
I think he he moved past poise.
I think he ended up being that dude before he got his knee broken in half.
But I feel like we need to respect Joe Burrow more.
Absolutely.
We also need to respect.
I mean, it is now it has become like an insane story.
The fact that the Baltimore Ravens have won 19 preseason games in a row.
That's just that is actually a streak that needs to be like acknowledged and also given
a ton of credit because they're not like you could just do that by playing all your starters
for the entire all the preseason games.
They're obviously not doing that.
They haven't lost a preseason game since 2015.
I'm convinced that somewhere in John Harbaugh's like contract, there's got to be a bonus for
winning preseason games because it makes no sense.
I think John Harbaugh has in the back of his head all the time that he's been beaten up
by his brother playing sports in the backyard.
So if he has a chance to win at something, competition, yeah, if he has a chance to compete
and win, he's going to do it each and every time.
God take advantage of every chance you have to win, even when the other coach like obviously
doesn't care about winning.
Yes.
So the question becomes, do we bet on it or because I feel like the second that we get
in on it, it's going to be old.
It's been.
I've like, I've thought about betting on it last week.
This week.
It's too late.
It's too late.
You can't you can't get on.
You have to be like very early on.
I always go back to whatever I think was UTEP and their streak of they were a bad basketball
team.
Look it up for me, Jake.
I think they were.
It was an SMU nose.
UTEP basketball.
They covered like 13 games in a row and I was on it from like game four and it was one of
the greatest feelings to be on that or the Blackhawks first period over run a couple
of years ago.
You have to be in on it in the within the first, I'd say half dozen games to really
feel like invested and also be at the point where you're going to bet it blindly knowing
that you've already made your money.
Like if you get to that because like that's really what it comes down to is if you have
been betting this Ravens preseason thing for a couple of years, you just keep smashing
the bet knowing that you're still going to come out on top.
Yeah.
But we're too late.
And if we bet it, it will obviously go the other way.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I feel like I have to get in in the last game.
I do it.
I have to try.
Go full seven.
I mean, New Jersey is going to have the Barstle Sports Book.
Right.
Yes.
I feel like that's got to be my inaugural bet on it.
Yes.
Is Trace McSorley playing?
I don't know.
No, he's out for the for the preseason with back injuries.
Oh, okay.
That's not good.
All right.
Mitch Shabisky, who's the guest on this show, great interview coming up.
He diced the Bears defense up.
I mean, it just shows, listen, people are going to probably listen to this interview
and be like, why didn't you go harder on Mitch?
I've always been pretty consistent with Mitch in that I didn't think he was the guy, but
I also thought Negi deserved a shitload of blame.
And then you see him with a play collar like Brian Dable and obviously it's preseason,
but they were running tempo and he looked fucking awesome.
He looked honestly like a first round quarterback.
He did.
He looked that good.
And I'm convinced that this year he's going to get in a couple of times in some blowout
games.
He's going to look just as good as he did in this preseason game.
Honestly, he doesn't even need to get in anymore.
Just based on what he showed against the Bears today.
At the end of the season, there's going to be a team like the Eagles.
Yeah.
That's going to go out and be like, hey, Mitch might be the guy.
He was a first round pick, remember, and then they're going to get him and he's going
to be good if he has a good play collar.
Yeah.
So crazy to look, obviously Justin Fields changed everything, but it's crazy to think
that Ryan Pace, there was a moment in time where he said to himself, Andy Dalton present
day is better than Mitch Trebisky present day, which is just not true.
Absolutely not.
It's not true.
So, and now they're doing the song and dance because Matt Nagy keeps saying Andy Dalton
starting week one.
I, I get it.
People are saying, well, you don't want Aaron Donald to, you know, kill Justin Fields.
Guess what?
Every team's got grown men playing.
I mean, like, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen, right?
Like you got to get him in there.
I think they're just doing it because they have to figure out a way to make it seem like
$10 million to Andy Dalton wasn't a mistake.
Yeah.
That's part of it.
I also think part of it is Matt Nagy, like told Andy Dalton in the process, right?
You're going to get the starting job next year.
So I know that Justin Fields will get, will be the starter by the end of the year.
But when he gets up in front of the media and says, we got to see what Andy Dalton looks
like in the regular season.
Yeah.
Why?
We've never seen that before.
We've seen it in the preseason.
Listen, they're the known, the unknown, knowns and the unknown, unknowns.
And that's what Andy Dalton.
Let me just say, I should have said this is start Andy Dalton.
Very nice guy.
Very nice guy.
Very nice guy.
No offense to Andy.
No offense to Andy.
You know what?
I had like a little mini Peter King moment this weekend when Justin Fields said, like,
will everybody please stop chanting my name when Andy Dalton's in the game is disrespectful
to Andy Dalton.
I was like, I fucking love Justin Fields for saying that.
Yeah.
The big time old man sports journalists take to be like, this guy's got all the intangibles
because he said the right thing.
Yeah.
In front of a microphone.
Yes.
I absolutely fell in that trap.
I'm like, yes.
Justin Fields is the truth.
He's got it.
Yeah.
And 59 on the bill should be in jail.
That hit was fucking brutal.
That was bad.
That was bad.
And also helmet not strapped on.
It sucks too.
That hit happened after he said the game was slow.
Yeah.
After one preseason.
Can't say that.
Can't say that.
That guy was a little bit faster.
Can't say that.
Yeah.
A little faster.
Well, the other big news was Mike Vrable tested positive for COVID or set out.
Let me rephrase that.
Mike Vrable said that he tested positive for COVID.
Now, if I was an NFL veteran or a head coach, I would probably say that in like week two
of the preseason two, just so I didn't have to go to camp for the last couple of weeks.
If I was already like cemented in my place.
Yes.
But he said that he tested positive.
And then there were a lot of pictures that came out of him being very close with Tom Brady,
who's playing in the week, half game, the, uh, the Thursday night game.
And he's elderly.
And he's elderly.
And I don't know if TB 12 method is friendly to horse dewormer, but, um, I don't know,
something to keep an eye on there.
Okay.
That is something to keep an eye on.
Um, only other thing I had was I, again, this is preseason, so we're not going to freak
out about everything.
But one team that I kind of forgot about, you know how we always are like the Texans
are really going to play a season.
The Falcons are going to be really bad, like really, really bad.
You think so?
Yes.
Arthur Smith, man.
Yes.
No, they're going to be really bad.
They're going to be really bad.
So when you have a brand new head coach, you can like put your finger in the air and see
which way the wind's blowing.
And you can make some, a couple of like really big judgments on people that, uh, you never
really have to answer too longterm.
But I'm ready to say that I think Nick Siriani is going to stink as a head coach.
I think he's going to be, because he's already, he's trying to do the thing.
He thinks that he's Belichick already.
And he's like, oh yeah, Jalen Hertz, uh, yeah, he's, uh, he's not going to play last second.
Like all my starters and he, but Jalen Hertz might have had like a stomach thing going
on, but he pulled like a bunch of starters last second without telling anybody now as
a gambler.
I'm upset with that because I was not informed ahead of time, but you can already see him
like trying to play the games.
He did the whole rock, paper, scissors thing, which seemed like he was outsmarting himself
a little bit.
Did you see that stat where they had him side by side, Belichick and Siriani and it was like
Nick Siriani, 40 years old, Bill Belichick, 47th year in the NFL.
Yeah.
It's like, Jesus Christ, although they do have flacco, flacco looks pretty good.
Yes.
They do have flacco, but I'm not ready to say definitively whether or not Arthur
Smith is going to be a good head coach.
Yeah.
No, I don't think that they're in a total rebuild.
So I'm not going to blame whatever.
I just know that the Falcons are not like, think about it.
They were bad last year and they got rid of their best player.
Yeah.
Jones.
Yeah.
Calvin Ridley is really good.
How many number one picks do they have on offense?
A lot, probably still, because they obviously got Kyle Pitts, who's going to be good.
They've got like nine or 10, probably.
I just think they're going to be really bad.
Yeah.
And then let's see what else is going on.
Oh, out West, the Chargers.
Yes.
They look pretty good.
Baby Braun, Derwin James.
That was an old time tweet from LeBron on Friday.
He's just taking everyone.
He was like, anyone with the last name James is now officially in my family.
Yeah.
He took Justin Fields over.
Derwin James, Kevin James, Rick, bring them on.
Rick James, RIP.
I tried looking up the UTEP thing and the only thing that came up when I
searched UTEP basketball gambling through UTEP players, kicked off team for gambling in 2014.
So, I don't think it was any.
I'm not responsible.
I think it was after that.
Yeah, search spread.
So, against the spread.
You really?
Yeah.
If I search this and I find it.
Bad man up and say I'm wrong.
You should just search Big Cat's tweets for UTEP.
Yeah, yeah, I just do bars with Big Cat UTEP.
I probably tweet it.
Also, Trey Lance, I think, is going to be the king of the new fun quarterbacks
because he's going to have some like shitty, shitty turnovers.
And he's going to have some awesome throw a sprinkled in and some great runs
and some great runs.
He's just going to be fun to watch.
Yes. Yes.
All right.
Other things, other sports.
We have to at least acknowledge Miguel Cabrera, 500.
What do you got, Jake?
You tweeted in 2017, 14 year old against the spread.
There we go.
Yeah.
OK, there we go.
It's easy.
That was there's no chance that would not have tweeted and they weren't good.
Yeah, I was looking for articles.
Well, you find their record.
They weren't good.
That was the best part.
They were just a covering machine.
It was a great ride.
You get one of those.
It's like it's like a point break.
You just a 50 year storm.
You just got to get out there and fucking surf it.
Go to Bondi Beach, baby.
This when you took basketball starts covering 15 and 17.
Yeah, they were so bad, but they covered 14 in a row.
That's insane. A 15 and 17 team.
50 year storm.
All right. So yeah, Miguel Cabrera, 500 home run.
He is so the list of guys that have 500 home runs and two and at least two
batting titles. What is the list?
How many people two batting titles, 500 home runs, three.
It's to Ted Williams and Miguel Cabrera.
That's pretty insane.
Oh, if he gets he's he's like 50 ish hits away from 3000 hits.
If he gets 3000 hits, the 500 home run, 3000 hits,
300 average club is Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Miguel Cabrera.
That's insane.
Jesus, like that's like obviously Miguel Cabrera has been doing it for so long.
So you kind of forget.
But that's insane company.
He also I went and looked.
He's got a fun like baseball reference page.
He went 10 straight years of 100 RBI's 25 plus home runs and over 300 average.
10 straight years.
It's pretty. We need to respect making.
Yeah, I know.
Like it was just it was one of those weird things.
Like you see him hit his five on its home run.
I feel like he's the one ding on him is he's been in MLB for so long
that he I think he truly is 100 pounds heavier than he was when he was a rookie.
So you're like, oh, he's fat and slow.
He's also like 19.
He was like, yeah, I know that's what he was 18.
Yeah, it's crazy to look at it.
But he has been exceptional Hall of Famer, obviously.
But whenever you say like, oh, his company is him and Ted Williams or
his company is him and Hank Aaron and Willie Mays.
That's fucking insane.
Also respect with Gal Cabrera.
An all time baseball chin guy.
Yeah, great chin.
Yeah. And he just, I don't know.
He's got a fucking awesome swing.
Miguel Cabrera. Shout out, Mickey.
Good smile to any.
Mickey is cool, too.
You know, they just they just feel like they're that you can party with them.
All right.
Other sports stuff that we got to talk about.
Speaking of 50 year storms, Hurricane Henry's here.
Oh, yeah.
It's a great nickname for Hank like a honoree.
All right.
Like single Hank getting messy with it.
Yeah, Hoboken, Hurricane.
Henry's in town getting everyone wet.
Yeah. Yeah.
There's a lot of money, dude.
Fucking two feet of standing water.
I get some bar in Hoboken.
You'll get fucked by Henry.
Get some hang.
I just I want to see Hank.
I want to see Hank fucking Hanks.
Yeah, I know if he's with Hank sex.
Not like I don't want to actually see it.
I just want to I think you do.
I want to be in the presence of the glow.
I think you do.
Yeah. How great was that?
That the fucking Welcome Back New York
concert got canceled by the most since they started
recording rain accumulation.
It was the most rain that's ever happened in an hour
in New York City history during the Welcome Back New York
concert. Billy was walking home in his underwear
with his cousin Dale.
Yeah, and holding his pants above his head.
I'm actually concerned about you, Billy,
because that water is not clean.
No. And you were just going skin on skin.
The water was so deep and coming down so fast.
It's actually like pretty clean.
Billy's also built for this, because I don't know if you
guys saw Billy going through the airport on Thursday,
but it's stolen valor.
Yeah, it is.
I took a picture.
It was kind of a creepy picture.
I was it was when he was at the urinal,
but I'll post it tomorrow.
If you if you saw Billy walking through an airport,
you would absolutely thank him for his service.
It's a no question.
It's a hiking backpack.
What about your pants, though?
OK, where's Billy?
I don't see Billy.
Camo cargo. Where are you?
Camo cargo is like a tactical backpack.
It is a hiking backpack.
He's got military boots and military
crocs and the shades of a sniper.
It's a it was Great Week.
I had no idea what we were getting into on Great Week.
So I packed and prepared.
You might have to like take out an insurgency.
I had anyone ever thank you for your service.
Because I don't actually like that's such an asshole thing.
No, I don't think you're actively doing it.
It's terrible to say that.
It's like, you know, sometimes when you'll you'll get dressed
and then you'll get to work and you'll be like, whoa,
I'm wearing like all blue or something.
Whoops. Like you got dressed and you're like, whoa.
Yes, I look like a four tour Afghanistan.
No. So yeah, in that picture,
I do realize that I was my tactical,
my tactical hiking boots were tied to my hiking backpack
with my my camo crocs attached.
And I was also wearing camo cargo pants.
That was a little too much. A lot of digital camo.
I'll pull tomorrow if it's stolen valor or not.
The boots you have on right now,
those are also inching closer to stolen.
There was there was one foot of water outside my yeah.
Yeah, I actually I actually convinced I was like Liam.
Liam was like, oh, are those Yeezy boots or what?
What happened? Never mind.
It was a funny story.
They're not Yeezy boots.
I don't remember that happening at all.
We need to get Billy involved in the new search
for the Jeopardy host.
Yes, but you but you wouldn't be allowed to like read
any of the clues beforehand.
By the way, that like the cancel culture for Mike,
Mike Richards, Mike Richards, Michael Richards.
He yeah, like he but also they should have just said
you can't have it because you gave it to yourself.
Right. Like your douchebag for that.
Right. It's the it's the Dick Cheney method
of I'm going to find the best candidate.
Oh, wait, it's me.
And actually, Mike Richards might be the least racist
of all the candidates because he fired himself.
Yeah, that's true. He did.
He said he took he withdrew himself.
I like I read the story and I was ready to get very upset
because it's like if there's anyone who's like, hey,
don't, you know, ding everyone for something
they said on a podcast nine years ago.
I'm I'm down with that.
But then I realized that he hired himself.
I'm like, fuck this guy.
Yeah, he's I think that the only reason people dug
into anything else that he said is because everyone hated him.
Yes. To begin with.
OK, so you shouldn't realize that.
Yeah. So you get a big target on your back.
They should have just said no for that
and just left everything else out.
Be like, dude, you can't hire yourself for a job that everyone wants.
And like you're following.
They should have actually let him be the host for like two weeks,
then fired him because then it takes the pressure off the next.
The next guy, exactly.
You know, now it's still the guy that follows up Alex Trebek.
Right. It should actually be Billy just writing questions
right before the show.
He should get to listen to a Joe Rogan podcast
and then write down all the facts that he learned.
And then those are the questions on the show.
And every time somebody picks a category,
there's a Jamie pull up Elk for 400, please.
All right, let's do our who's back of the week.

Henry, who's back? Hurricane Henry.
CM Punk. Yes.
Is back. So back.
Came back in the A and AEW.
Yep. Wrestling on Friday night to an unreal.
One of the best pops I've ever heard.
That's me. You know, that's I'm not really too familiar with wrestling.
Now, he won't even to a shoot.
I watched it after an unbelievable video, which apparently is a pop.
Yeah. No, I watched it after on Saturday and it was incredible.
I I will admit that like for far too long,
I watched Monday Night Raw or at least kept my eye on it,
expecting CM Punk to come back for like probably about a year and a half there.
So it's good to finally have him back.
I went back and listened to the interview you guys do with him
because I was kind of forgot why, why do people?
I understand he's a wrestler, he's a good wrestler,
but why do people love him so much?
I think because he was like he would not follow rules from Vince.
Yeah, he was like anti events big time.
The kind of people's champ kind of thing.
Yeah, straight edge, straight edge, straight edge.
Yes, yes, and a cool guy, like a cool guy.
He might be more.
He also was one of those guys,
one of those wrestlers that had a personality as well outside,
outside of the ring is, you know what I mean?
And he came up in like, you know, doing different type of work.
Like he wasn't like he was just boom one day on WWE being a star.
He was people's champ.
He's also like technically very good.
Yes. Oh, yeah.
Like he's extremely good at it.
Whereas I've seen this argument a lot of people being like,
well, WWE isn't about wrestling.
It's about the entertainers.
That's why they don't call them wrestlers.
They call them superstars.
The other events.
Fuck, what's his name?
Foster.
No, the guy who basically created the attitude era.
It's escaping me.
I apologize.
Vince Gill.
Mm hmm.
I ran out of vences.
Mm hmm.
There's another Vince.
There's you see that Vince McMahon might sell WWE.
I can't imagine who's going to buy.
I don't know.
Tony Big Tone.
I think Tony just trying to like take over WWE.
Like I don't think he wants to buy him.
I think he wants to dominate him.
Got it for you.
Yeah, Russo.
Yes, Vince Russo.
Yes, he was the one who basically upped the attitude era
and the storylines and all that stuff.
OK, PFT, you're who's back.
Oh, I had another one.
Oh, go ahead.
No, it's all right.
No, no, no.
It is just.
It is your weekend.
It would make sense.
It's very happy.
If you were to say another who's back.
Hurricane Hank.
Nope.
Let's go.
Come on, Henry.
No, you have to do it now.
No, I'm not happy.
I'm not happy.
All right.
It'll make you happy if I do it now.
And I need an alarm where I'm not happy.
Milk is back.
Oh, yeah.
The Milk Cray Challenge.
It has just taken over the world by storm this weekend.
It's just people trying to climb up milk crates up
and then climb back down.
Most people are falling on their backs, falling on their face.
I just saw one a few seconds ago where a guy was up
on top in the middle, like 10 feet in the air
and two kids just kicked the crate as the bottom fell over.
It's the most dangerous viral video stunt
that I've seen in a very long time.
It seems like 99% of people that do it end up fracturing
at least one vertebra.
It was basically meant for my likes and sensibilities
in terms of injuries.
It's like I can't get enough of it.
You remember the run your friend over
with a golf cart challenge from a few years ago?
That's bad, even though it was very bad.
It reminds me very much of this Milk Cray Challenge thing.
And by the way, don't do that.
But send me if you do.
A lot of people just have milk crates laying around,
I guess.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, I thought milk crates were a thing of the past.
Yeah.
Are we still drinking milk?
I feel like restaurants.
Yeah.
I think restaurants are still in the milk crate game.
That's a good call.
Restaurants for sure.
I mean, it's a great thing to have.
Sit on a milk crate, although they fucking hurt to sit on.
Can you still see your words?
I'm going to find this video.
OK.
Is that it, Hank?
Yeah.
OK, well, I actually had some.
I'm very happy that you said that.
I'm really happy, even though I had milk as one of my who's
backs of the week.
I'm glad that Hank said it, and not me,
because it made us happy.
So thank you, Hank.
You're welcome.
So my other who's back, I'm just
going to go my other who's back at the week is Sturgill Simpson.
Dropped an album on Friday.
It's awesome.
Some people are like, oh, I don't like it.
It's the ballad of a dude in Juanita, and it's a story.
So you have to listen to it in order.
It's like trapped in the closet.
And it tells it's a lot like trapped in the closet.
Yeah, exactly almost.
Illegal.
But yeah, it's really good.
If you haven't heard it.
Illegal myself.
Listen to it.
But skip the fucking song about the dead dog.
Skip the song about Sam.
No, how could you?
You just said it's like trapped in the closet.
You should not be allowed to write a song about a dead dog.
It's it's I think country.
I think country ish.
You can't country adjacent.
Look, Tipper Gore fucked up when she put the little sticker
on the front of albums for explicit content.
Yeah, because somebody said the F word twice,
but they don't have a sticker if somebody sings about their dog
that isn't there a website that has that where it's like,
it does this movie have a dead dog.
There should be.
I'm pretty sure there is because I remember
House of Cards started with that dog getting hit by a car.
I was like, I'm out.
Yeah, it's such a life hack.
Honestly, just write a song about a dog that died.
Yeah.
And then people can everyone.
You know what?
Maybe the next pop punk out.
Pop punk.
We should do all songs about dead dogs.
Yeah, that would be a real party starter.
Just tear jerkers.
All right.
My who's back is similar.
It's going to concerts.
So Bubba and I went to dead in company on Friday night.
Awesome concert.
John Mayer is one of the best guitars.
I don't know of all time.
Maybe I don't know.
He's fucking incredible.
Really good.
Incredible.
They play a little slow, but John Mayer keeps them going.
Also, I learned a good lesson because I was on the fence.
I decided to go like two hours before the concert.
It was like, you know, I was away for Great Week, kids
and everything, like want to be around and all that stuff.
So they were obviously in bed.
But I went to the concert and I found out
that the lesson is being a responsible father is not
skipping the concert.
It's turning down the mushrooms at the concert.
That was a big like I was very proud of myself
because I wanted to do them.
But I said no so that I could be up at 7 in the morning
the next day and be, you know, an attentive father.
What about credit to me for not doing the mushrooms?
What about the marijuana cigarettes?
That is a different category.
That's just that's just being that's just like you said.
It's just one song.
No, you like you said with Betty the Butcher,
you it would be it would be like I would be a bad party.
Yes, it would be impolite.
People would think I was an art.
Well, it's not even just about being a party guest.
You're part of the art.
Yeah, think about dead in company concerts.
I've only gone to see the dead.
I haven't seen Grateful Dead or dead in company.
But I have to imagine that the art isn't just the music
that's on stage, right?
It's the community.
It's everybody there is actively participating in the event.
Therefore, like it's up to you to kind of like make the art
as good as possible for those around you.
Yes. So you had to smoke.
And probably, yeah, I mean, it was funny
because I actually said that to Big Ebb,
our co-worker who was there.
He took out a marijuana cigarette and passed it to me.
And as you do at a dead in company concert,
I pass it to people next to me and I turned to Big Ebb
and I was like, we may never get that back
because it just it went forever.
The trips, it went around the sun.
But that's just what you got to do
when you show up to a party.
Can't be the fucking.
It'd be like Michael Scott when he smoked the clove.
I smoked the clove at the Alicia Keys concert.
One time I was at a poison concert.
What a great show.
And this dude elbows me in the side and I'm like 17 years old.
He elbows me in the side, hands me a joint
and standing to my left.
This is just by total happenstance to not playing this out.
My social studies teacher was sitting next to me in the seat
and I turned him down.
I was like, I can't do it.
And he takes the joint out of my hands
because I held it for a second and I passed it right back.
He was like, next time a 53 year old retired Marine
hands you a joint, you fucking smoke it.
Do you understand?
I was like, sir, yes, sir, I can't do it.
And then I later saw my social studies teacher
getting blazed out of her mind.
So I was like, I should have hit that joint.
You're a narc.
But either way, concerts are back.
Dead End Company was fucking awesome.
It was great to be back at a concert.
Bubba, you thought so too.
They fucking shred.
John Mayer is so good.
The end of the first set was like amazing.
He texted you about it.
John Mayer is just, he's out of this world.
So also with concerts being back, just crowds in general
have been back and more so fights and crowds are back.
Again, there's such a large number of fight videos
that have come out in the last couple of weeks.
I have to think that there's something else going on here.
Well, no, I think it's honestly people
just have gotten back into it and they're basically
making up for lost time.
That's why you see it in pre-season games right now,
which usually I don't feel like pre-season games,
more family-friendly, not as much high stakes.
But I think everyone's like, we missed an entire year
of bashing each other's skulls in.
We have to make up for it so that we can basically reset it
so when the regular season starts, we're back to zero.
And again, we're totally fine with brawls in the stands,
just no head punches.
You should be allowed to just beat the shit out
of everybody's body.
But it's not just pre-season.
It's also French soccer.
The mallets at the palace documentary is big.
I don't know.
They're getting ready to enact fun control policies
on us in the stands.
Hank, I just watched that video.
It was incredible.
Thank you.
That guy got fucking smoked by the crate.
These are like, this is someone,
I feel personally, I want to personally thank whoever
created this because it really is,
I could watch these forever.
I actually, Hank sent me the first one.
And my first thing I said to you is, where, give me more.
He was like, just scroll down on the thread.
I was like, no, but I need more than that.
Jake, you're who's back the week.
My who's back is sportsmanship.
Oh, good, good.
So I think you guys are actually going
to be surprised with my take on this.
Oh.
The Lily World Series, as we know, it's going on.
There's some great things going.
Can't take that away from the kids and the coaches.
The high-fiving of the opposing pitcher is over the line.
And I don't support it.
Yeah, it is a lot.
The video, so the kid, this kid gave up a home run,
maybe 400 feet, like dead center, absolute bomb.
And they were down like 20 runs already.
And the pitcher runs up to home play high-fives,
the batter as he's running around third.
Did you also see coach K make an appearance?
No.
There was the coach, the coach.
All right, so I actually was watching this game.
And I was shocked.
This is good, though.
No, no, it's not.
No, it's not.
It's better than the high-fiving of the pitcher.
This coach for the Florida team,
they throw a note, the other team throws a no-hitter
against them.
The kid celebrates his no-hitter.
Like, before he can even get to his teammates,
the coach, the opposing coach, is walking onto the field,
shaking his hand.
Like, doesn't let the kid have a moment like a dog pile,
whatever it may be.
He's fucking in there.
And so I was watching this game.
This coach, I don't, let me explain it.
You guys can tell me if this is over the line.
So they told the story about this coach.
He started coaching Little League when his son was four.
He has been coaching Little League for 30 years.
His kids are all grown up.
So he's coaching a team of kids.
But he's stuck around after his kids left.
Stuck around after.
Okay.
His goal in life has been to get to Williamsport.
He was on a vacation or maybe a travel baseball team,
whatever it may have been a couple of years ago.
They went to Williamsport, he refused to go in
because he said he wanted to get there with his team.
So he went there on a trip.
Yeah.
Not on.
And he refused to go in because he's like,
I want to earn it.
Little League coach.
Yeah.
Too much.
You got to have passion for something.
When they said it, they said it like it was a touching story.
And I was like half listening to it in the background.
I was like, wait, what?
This guy's treating like Williamsport as an adult
with no kids on the team.
Like it's the Stanley Cup.
Yeah, that guy, it's a little bit of a psycho maneuver
right there.
So that was the state coach who came on.
You should not be allowed to coach Little League
if your children are not in that age group.
Yeah.
Agreed.
That's not a career.
Like you can stay on.
Being a Little League coach is not a job
that you have for the rest of your life.
You don't retire from becoming a Little League coach.
I think it's either you have a kid who's still
about to hit that age.
So if you have like multiple kids and one kid,
let's say, is like 14 and you have a kid that's eight
year old, it's like, well, he's going to be here.
So you could stick around.
Or you could stick around for like a year or two.
Maybe if it's like a cohesive unit,
you love the kids, whatever, stick around for the kids
after you.
But they were like, yeah, his son is like 33.
I think that, yeah, it's a good rule of thumb
if you don't have a kid in that age bracket.
Or like, you have to have.
Just coach high school.
High school is normal.
Yes, you can do like a career as being a high school coach.
Absolutely.
Yes, that's a normal thing to do.
Like sixth graders.
Yeah.
Really strange.
Yeah.
Really strange.
Whatever.
So congrats to that guy.
I think they got bounced.
Bottom line.
I think it's too much.
Sorry, sorry, we went sideways on that.
But I was like shocked when I heard that.
You know what she would do?
You would hit a home run and then like after you touched home,
you jog out to the pitchers around and high five the pitcher.
You give them the ball back.
And be like, yeah.
She'd be like, hey, I just want to let you know you
threw that one really well.
Yeah.
They wanted to try.
I hit this one 500 feet and they wanted in Cooperstown.
But I want you to have it because I wouldn't have been able
to hit that home run without you doing your half of the job.
I love sportsmanship.
I love double sportsmanship.
But sportsmanship after you're going to sign the ball for it.
It's too much for me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, Billy, your who's back.
My who's back is the Yankees.
They're on a nine game streak and getting back
into wild card contention.
They swept the Red Sox the past week.
And that was very satisfying while we were on the Great Week
road trip with multiple Red Sox fans.
Want to know in games we've won starting Friday.
Want to know in games we've won starting Friday.
I've watched.
Games I've watched.
OK.
Wait, didn't they lose?
Oh, you didn't watch Saturday.
No.
My other.
The Friday was.
You were locked in.
My other who's back is Ruff and Rowdy.
This Friday.
Yeah.
He has an amazing fight card.
Yes.
I cannot wait to go see.
A surreal fight card.
Pac-Man Jones will have him on the show on Friday.
He's going to be fighting Bobby Lang.
That's the headliner.
Chef Donnie, another Barstool blogger, is also fighting.
I'm in his fight team.
I'm going to be in his corner for the fight.
Is there a chance that War Mode shows up?
Like what happens if there's a scram after?
I'm going to be checking on the legality of fighting
a boxing ring when you're not.
I don't know.
It'll be fine.
Have you given him any advice on how to get to War Mode?
What have you told him?
That's a secret from Warriors.
OK.
Shut the fuck up.
Thank you for your service, Billy.
I appreciate it.
But yeah, it's going to be awesome.
Can't wait.
Definitely clear your plans for Friday for Ruff and Rowdy.
$25,000 play Barstool contest.
Oh, hell yeah.
People have won the last two.
So it's two for two.
That's 50 grand.
Love it.
Could be you.
Love it.
All right, good who's backs, everyone.
All right, let's get to our interview with Mitch Strabisky.
Great interview.
We're outside again, so you might hear some lawnmowers
or whatnot in the background.
But that's just grit.
That's grit.
So we're brought to you by our friends at Better Help.
This podcast is sponsored by Better Help Online Therapy.
Life is full of stressors.
It doesn't matter who you are, what you have.
Your life is probably stressful.
You probably don't even realize it.
You might get angry at the people you love,
might be down on a certain day or a week,
just because that stress builds up.
And you don't even realize that you could greatly benefit
from talking to someone.
So unload the stress and get it out.
Talk to someone who's completely unbiased about your life,
someone who isn't going to judge you or take sides on anything.
When there are things you can't tell anyone
or feel like you can't unload to family and friends,
you need to unload it, and that's what therapy can be.
Better Help is customized online therapy
that offers video, phone, and even live chat sessions
with your therapist.
So you don't have to see anyone on camera
if you don't want to.
It's much more affordable than in-person therapy,
and you can start communicating with your therapist
in under 48 hours.
Unload the stressors and get some unbiased feedback.
You'd be pretty surprised at what you might gain from it.
See if it's for you.

My uncle and my mother have conspired
to put a hit out against me,
and I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety
having to look after my nephew
and my boss's brother, Richie,

Here he is, Mr. Biskie.
Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest.
He is a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills,
former quarterback for the Chicago Bears,
formerly my quarterback.
It is brought to you by Coors Light.
It is the one and only Mitch Trebisky.
Oh wait, Mitchell?
What's up?
Should we do, Mitchell?
Either one, either one.
Mitch, thank you for joining us.
We appreciate it.
You're welcome.
I'm now, so the entire interview has been thrown off
by the fact that you have a bag next to you
with something in it.
Wait, let's just start with grit.
Now this is how bad you've thrown me off.
Let's start with grit.
What does grit mean to you?
And then we gotta get to the bag.
Grit means just the ability to overcome any obstacle
no matter what.
You just, you like hard circumstances
because you know it's just gonna make you stronger
and you can overcome them.
And the grittier the better, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
All right, now let's talk about the bag.
So you threw everything off.
So you played in maybe the best football game of the,
maybe ever, the Nickelodeon wild card game.
Did you get a chance to go and watch the broadcast
of it after the fact?
I saw some highlights and it was really cool.
I should probably go back and watch the whole thing,
but yeah, I have, I brought something with me today.
So let's do it.
Let's just do it.
I seriously, I was gonna bring it up
like the last thing I was gonna bring up with this,
but the fact that you have this,
so it is, he's Mitch is taking out the MVP award.
Oh my God.
Holy shit.
It's majestic.
So what's-
It's actually a beautiful trophy.
It is really good.
Is it the Nick value of the pair?
Some days I'm like, I don't,
I'm not sure how I got it.
I think I have you guys to thank for a lot of it.
Yeah, I would say-
I'm like, if the people wanted me to have it,
I mean-
Mostly us.
That's why it's my position.
So walk us through that,
because obviously the game sucked.
You know, Bears lose.
What, who first told you that you won the MVP?
I was, they just told me and they were like,
I was like, oh cool, is there like a trophy or something?
I was like, it was tough
because like it was emotional.
The season just ended, like we lost the game.
Like it was a rough game, honestly.
And they're like, you won something.
And I thought they were just messing with me.
I was like, what?
And MVP sounds like MVP.
I was like, there's no way you can't win an MVP
like with a game like that.
And no, the MVP, the Nickelodeon valuable person, I guess.
And I was like, how do I qualify for that?
I was like, I don't know, they voted for you.
I was like, all right, well, thank you, I guess.
And then a couple months later,
this shows up to my door.
I'm like, wow, this is a pretty dope trophy.
Incredible.
I'm gonna put it up on the mantle and proud.
It's just cool.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
So everyone who voted, thank you.
I appreciate it.
You're probably the first and only person to win that trophy.
They might retire,
or they might at least retire the online voting portion.
It's one of one.
Well, if there's online voting, we'll get you another one.
Just somehow, there's a right in vote.
You don't have to be playing in the game.
You don't have to be playing in the game.
We will get you another one.
I appreciate it.
We will absolutely do it.
I appreciate that you liked the trophy and it is cool.
I think we gotta get a replica made.
We have to get a replica made.
We might have to have someone like mold it.
Is it bad luck to touch it like the Stanley Cup?
No, it's a good luck.
Look at that.
It actually doubles as a kaleidoscope.
Oh, that's fun.
That's so fun.
Look at that.
We can brain somebody.
It's pretty sick.
Yeah, let's see.
Yeah, we're gonna get a replica made.
So we'll have to borrow it at some point
just to get the replica made.
Of course.
But this is incredible.
Wow, and it says right here,
NFL Wild Card Game, January 10th, 2021,
MVP, Mitch Trebisky.
Oh my God.
Wow, you look beautiful.
So out of games like you might wanna forget,
I'll never forget that one.
Yeah, no, I mean you have an MVP for life.
All right, so let's talk Buffalo.
So you're here.
Yeah.
You love the city?
Love it, love it.
You have a best wing spot yet?
I go to Barbills.
Okay.
Barbills is the wing spot.
I heard you guys went to a great wing spot last night
and I'm like, I'm not picky.
I'm also like, if there's a good wing spot,
I'm gonna try them all.
They're everywhere.
Love chicken wings.
The bar is, not the bar,
the floor is very high for Buffalo wings.
So like you can go anywhere and they're gonna be good.
They're gonna be better
than anywhere else you've been, correct?
So you basically, you're at a point now
where you're just comparing Buffalo wings
against Buffalo wings because they're the best around.
Yes.
Do you miss the deep dish pizza?
I do.
I miss it a little bit.
I miss it a little bit.
Maybe you get a little bit this weekend.
Yeah.
Not too French game.
Big time revenge game.
It's on your birthday, right?
My birthday's tomorrow, it'll be the day after.
Day after.
I'm gonna count that as birthday week.
Birthday weekend.
You celebrate.
You've kind of been celebrating the whole week, so.
So you're taking on your former team
pretty much on your birthday.
You're gonna be playing the,
I guess a lion's share of the game.
Is there any good reason why I shouldn't bet my entire mortgage
on the Buffalo Bills this weekend?
We're gonna air this after, by the way.
We're gonna air this on Monday
so you can say anything you want.
Is there, there's betting on pre-season games?
Yeah, oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess, I guess go ahead.
Like why not?
Let's go for it.
It all seems to be building up for a pretty fun Saturday.
I mean, birthday weekend, playing your former team.
We're just gonna go out there,
slinging around, have some fun, so.
So.
I'm looking forward to it.
Is there, what's the, after the game,
anyone you're not gonna talk to on the other sideline?
No, anybody who wants to come up and talk,
I'm willing to go up and catch up.
So there's a lot of guys that I'm super close with.
Some guys I consider like brothers and family to me.
They're a couple who were just in my wedding
and came to my wedding and coaches them
still pretty close with.
So whoever wants to talk,
like just talk it up after the game
and see how everyone's doing.
So it'll be cool to see a lot of people.
I like that.
So I gotta ask a couple of difficult questions,
not difficult questions, but harder questions.
So obviously things didn't go great in Chicago.
Did you like, was there a point,
did you ever pay attention to the media and,
cause I always thought like you,
it was a combo of things didn't go great,
you also got a bad rap sometimes too.
And a lot more was put on your plate
than probably was fair.
Yeah, I think that's the reality
of the quarterback position sometimes.
Like when you win, you're gonna get a lot of credit.
When you lose, you're gonna get a lot of blame.
And there were just some games that people felt
that we were losing because of me
and I got a lot of the blame.
So it just goes down that way sometimes.
And that's not always not the case.
I think there's always a bigger story underneath
that a lot of people on the outside don't know about.
But I try not to pay attention to that.
I try to block it out as much as I could.
And during that last year, it was pretty tough
getting benched and then having to come back
and then was able to come back in
and then help my team make the playoffs.
So I'm proud of that.
But all the other negative stuff,
you just really just got to block out or else
you're just gonna go down to dark hole.
Cause with the social media and everything else these days,
there's just so much of that negativity out there.
And once you see one of something of it,
you're just gonna keep going down that road
until it's too much.
You just got to block it out
and try to focus on your job.
Yeah.
Okay.
So much to do.
I had one other really difficult one.
This one's difficult for both of us.
Double-doink.
I really thought the Bears, like that team
was good enough to make a run to the Super Bowl.
I truly believe that.
Yeah, I thought so too.
People don't give you credit for, you know,
driving the team back down into field goal range there
at the end of the game because of the result afterwards.
Like what, was there tears?
I mean, I'd hope there were tears.
Maybe breaking some stuff.
I would do all of that.
I didn't cry.
There was no tears.
I think just cause I was so in shock, I couldn't believe it.
Cause if you remember that year, it was just like,
we were in a bunch of close games,
but just the team we had and how we overcome stuff.
Like it didn't matter what happened throughout the game.
It was like, we knew we were going to win.
And that's kind of how that game felt.
Like it was close going back and forth all the way.
And then we drove down and we were kicking a field going.
I was like, there's no way this is not going to go in.
Oh, I knew it was going in.
And then it didn't.
Yeah.
You should have known.
And then I was just in shock.
Yeah.
Was it tipped?
It was.
No, it wasn't.
It was.
It was tipped.
I think Chris Long said it was tipped.
Yeah, they're just trying to save Cody Park.
He is fine.
Bad ass eagles.
Look at her.
Fly, fly.
That's socked, man.
So I'm formally your quarterback, though.
I can't still be your quarterback.
Yeah, no, you're still my quarterback in my heart.
Yeah, actually, you're right.
You're right.
Cause Jay Cutler's still kind of my quarterback.
Yeah, so you still are my quarterback.
That's good.
I just didn't want Justin, who's a huge listener of the show,
to be like, what the hell did he just say?
So you're my quarterback.
Yes.
Justin's also my quarterback.
Any Dalton, nice guy, not my quarterback.
Maybe we could talk about a little bit better memory
from while you're in Chicago.
One of the greatest plays we actually had.
I think it was Luke Wilson on the show talking about the last
play of the Super Bowl and how he saw important plays from
people who were there at the time.
November 29th, 2020, against the Packers, David Montgomery,
the run.
Do you remember?
The run.
He scored?
No, no, no, no.
It was like a 60 yard run.
Didn't score.
It was like 58.
58.
Yeah, something like that.
Like right up to second play of the game?
Very physical.
Yeah, might have been second play of the game.
The run.
Amazing run.
You could almost hear the NFL films music playing as you
were watching it in real time.
What was it from your perspective?
I thought I heard some guy in the stands humming music
Steve Sable was looking down to heaven.
Like, holy shit, this run.
After you gave him the ball, were you like, there's no
chance he's going to run the ball for 58 yards?
This is impossible.
Yeah.
Just handed off and, I mean, those are the best plays as a
quarterback.
You just hand it off and you're like, oh, he's still going.
He's still going.
He's like, ooh.
I'm just watching him.
Playing the rest of the game after witnessing history.
It was amazing.
I would have broken down in tears just from the beauty of it.
Now, I have, in all seriousness, I've given you a lot of
credit in the past because I think that you are one of the
best handoff quarterbacks.
Like, really, you have a very quick step.
You extend the arm.
There's an art to handing the ball off, isn't there?
There is an art to handing off the ball.
You can be bad at handing the ball off, right?
If you have to be bad or good at handing off the ball, I
would like to be good at it, I guess.
I guess there's an art.
Do I make it look good?
Some would say maybe.
Yes.
So we do practice that a lot.
You just got to have good handoffs.
Good exchanges.
That's what it's all about.
When you're on the sidelines and you're throwing the ball back
and forth, getting your arm loosened up, are you a guy that
has somebody who catches the ball for you and then hands you
the ball?
I like to catch it for myself, but then somebody who comes
up, you're not going to tell them not to catch it for you.
So if they want to volunteer themselves to catch for me,
that's fine.
But I just like to get the hands going, you know?
Yeah, I like that.
Do you still own the Toyota Camry?
It's done.
Ryan Pace bought it off you?
No, it's no longer running.
We had to send it.
Would you like, hey, do you chill out?
It's just a car.
Because he just loved that car.
He loved that car more than you loved that car.
Loved it.
I mean, it got me from point A to point B,
and that's what you want.
That's true.
I mean, definitely going to miss that car.
It's no longer with us.
That car changed history.
Yeah, it did.
Yeah.
We're going to get back to Mitch real quick.

Now, here's more Mitch Trebisky.
Give me a strengths and weaknesses breakdown
from like a scouting perspective on Caleb Presley,
our co-worker.
As a quarterback, what's good?
What are the things that he needs to improve on?
His golf game or his like quarterback play?
Quarterback and golf.
Yeah, maybe both.
His pros, confidence, mindset, morale.
Yeah. Yep.
Grit, gotta throw in grit.
Probably one of the grittiest guys I know
on the grit chart.
Cons, doesn't take criticism well.
Doesn't take criticism well.
He's not gonna take that criticism well.
Handoffs, he's not good at handoffs.
Slings wants to sling at every play.
Run plays not for him.
And probably one of the best victory quarterbacks
of all time.
So at the end of the game, you bring CPN,
he's gonna get the job done.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Do you believe the 86?
The 86.
He's shot an 86.
I believe it.
I'm gonna believe it, yeah.
I believe it.
So I believe it, but there are people who don't believe it.
I believe the 86, 100%.
You're a truzor?
No, there are people out there who are saying
maybe the 86 wasn't real.
I believe it, 100%.
Absolutely, he shot an 86.
So he's sub 90s now, which is huge.
He's sub 90s.
He had a camera falling him around though.
Right.
Are we saying like some, like kicked the ball
a couple of times?
The last time he did a video and he's like,
a lot of people cheat in golf,
that's what you're watching right now.
I'm cheating, like when he shot like a 99.
So I think he kind of opened the door for himself there.
Gotcha, that's a mistake.
How do you rank him as a friend?
Oh, top two, not two.
Whoa!
Yeah, 100%.
There's gonna be some people who are angry about that.
I don't know who they are.
I do like how you said it.
That's why they compete.
They gotta compete for the top spot.
Your breakdown of Caleb was pretty much
strengths, confidence, weaknesses, ability.
I didn't say that.
I didn't say that.
That's perfect, that's perfect.
But we love Caleb, he's a great guy.
I hope he's got his shoes off right now.
Yeah.
All right, I shot you with true serum, okay?
And you have to tell me the God's honest truth.
Was there ever a moment, I'm not gonna do,
I'm not gonna say, hey, can we bash Matt and Nagy together?
I'm not gonna do that.
I shot you with true serum and I was like,
is there ever a moment where you're like,
hey, Mahomes and Watson, just chill out a little bit.
Just a little.
With the questions?
Just being awesome.
No, just like chill out with all the touchdown passes.
Was there ever a moment where you're like,
can you not Mahomes for a minute?
I don't think I was like, can you not?
I was like, I was just like, damn.
Yeah.
That's what you wanna be doing.
Yeah, yeah.
That's what you wanna be doing.
That's part of it.
Mahomes is probably gonna be the best quarterback
of all time and that's like,
you don't get to pick where you're drafted.
For sure you don't.
And Mahomes then just decides like,
hey, I'm gonna be the best of all time.
Oh, cool.
Just runs up the score every week.
Yeah, by that logic,
every other team should have traded up and picked him, right?
That's true.
You just never know.
That's true, good point, great point, great point.
Were you actually surprised on draft day?
Yeah, very surprised.
I had no idea Chicago was gonna draft me.
They traded up.
We had one secret meeting in Chapel Hill,
which was the only time I met with them before.
So I had no idea they were even interested
because they didn't even say.
And then they forgot to call me on draft night.
And so when they traded up to the number two spot,
we were looking around the draft room,
and we're like, oh, it's nobody's phone ring.
Nobody in here is getting picked.
And then Roger Goodell says my name.
And I was like, oh, okay, here we go.
That's how you found out on television?
Yeah, that's how I found out.
That's how John Fox turned out too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's gotta be, that almost has to be surreal.
Like seeing your name on TV.
It was very exciting.
Yeah, it was very exciting.
It was crazy.
Very unexpected, very unexpected.
So huge surprise.
It was a great time.
Great night with my family.
I bet.
Celebrating that.
CP was there.
He was, yeah.
Secret meeting.
How does a secret meeting get arranged?
Basically they come to Chapel Hill,
they work you out, and then you have a dinner with coaches.
And you just don't let the media know about it.
They really don't tell anybody.
Ryan Pace asked to wash your car.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, let me see that tailpipe.
Yeah, let me see the camera now.
How much of going to UNC was decided on the colors?
Because I just assume they have the best colors
in all sports.
They do.
So I've always assumed that,
I don't know, conservatively speaking,
30% of all students at UNC at a given time
chose UNC simply because the colors are that awesome.
100%.
Were you in that boat?
Were you like?
I was probably like 58% colors.
Yep.
32% campus.
Yep.
And then the other percentage,
football and academics.
I love it.
Honestly, like they're that good.
It's amazing.
Everybody knows Carolina blue.
Yeah, you want to wear this color
for the rest of your life?
Come here.
That would be my entire recruiting pitch.
It's not just the colors.
It's the Argyle too.
Yes.
The Argyle pattern is sweet.
It's amazing.
Do you still have a lot of stuff
that's Carolina blue?
You know how Jordan used to wear his UNC shorts
underneath his game shorts?
Yeah, I got some UNC shorts I wear to bed.
Yeah, if I went to UNC,
I would never wear a different color.
It's amazing.
Yeah, it's the best color ever.
Damn.
Big Cat asked it at first,
like Mitch Mitchell,
was there a thing where you wanted to make a statement
after you were drafted
that please call me Mitchell?
No.
Because when that came out,
it sounded like it was coming directly from you.
And I was like, well, if you want me to call Mitchell,
I'm just going to call him Mitch.
That's fine.
Like I can't be told what to do.
But so that was never something
that came out of like your camp.
No, it was.
So the whole thing was somebody found out that,
well, I was just telling people like,
I keep getting the question.
Like is it Mitch or Mitchell?
I was like, I don't care.
And they were like, okay, what's your family call you?
I was like, my family members, they call me Mitchell.
My mom, dad, brother, sister, they call me Mitchell.
But like my friends, buddies, like they'll call me Mitch,
like reporters, media, Mitch, like it really doesn't matter.
And then like the question is just getting dragged on
and out and it's just like, what do you prefer?
And it's like, I don't have a preference.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Cause that became a story in its own right.
I think that just speaks to like how pathetic we are.
Yeah.
So we're like, this guy wants to be called,
what is, what does parents call him?
Yeah.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
How dare he?
And then we ran with that.
He's making name demands now, he can't do this.
All right, so other draft night question.
So congratulations, by the way, you just got married.
So I won't ask about current currently,
but at any point in your life, did you love to kiss titties?
Oh man.
You had to know that I was gonna come eventually, right?
I had to ask it.
Who tweeted that?
Is this one of your friends?
Yeah, one of my buddies off,
he's in the White Sox organization right now.
We were in a basketball tournament.
So I'm from Mentor, Ohio in Cleveland.
We go to Tennessee every year to play a basketball tournament.
The Arby's classic, just ate so much Arby's.
Love it.
Probably haven't had it since.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
And then, so you'd know you're in the hotel with your buddies
and you're just messing around on each other's phones
or whatnot, and then eight years later,
I found out that...
It was like a long play by him,
but we played perfectly.
Somebody was just waiting on that one,
they were like, oh, this guy gets drafted,
this can be a go one.
And then it just sends off, but it's,
there's worst ones out there.
And all things considered, it was like the perfect thing
to be like, hey, look at what Mitch tweeted.
I love to kiss titties.
When he was like 14 years old.
I actually gained a lot of fans from that,
so I was like positive.
Yeah, worst sex positive podcast.
There you go.
Kissing titties is the most innocuously innocent thing
that you can tweet.
Yeah.
Who doesn't?
Literally everybody likes it.
Not even licking titties.
That's actually rated R.
Yeah, that's like you go to a strip club,
and you're gonna lick some titties.
Yeah, no one would.
No, but you just kiss, you just say hi,
like you kiss on the cheek.
In Europe, they kiss titties all the time,
as greeting in Greece.
Yes, that's true.
That's just a respectful thing there, isn't it?
It would be culturally inappropriate
to not kiss the titties when you go to Greece.
That's a fact.
All right, I got one last question.
This has been awesome, man.
We appreciate you doing this.
The mattress firm question,
unjunk your sleep, meet a mattress expert now,
mattressfirm.com, get started.
Did you bring the Peaky Blinders look with you to Buffalo?
Oh yeah, I got it.
That was hard.
That was awesome.
And we got Peaky Blinders fans in the QB room,
so hopefully we get like a Peaky Blinders QB show up
to the game to get that going.
I love that outfit.
I'm waiting for what, season five or six coming out?
Yes, coming out.
I think it's the last season.
I'm hanging onto it, come on.
The series finale.
I just want Arthur to come back
and start like killing people again.
You got tied down with that woman who's like,
oh, it's a devil's work at Nahari.
Yeah, no.
And he was like, I'm off a fucking Shelby.
He got P-whipped.
He did get P-whipped big time.
Which one are you?
Probably Thomas.
Probably Thomas.
Thomas Shelby.
Okay, nice.
The leader of the brothers.
I mean, I love that show.
Everyone loves that show.
But yeah, all right, so I'm happy you brought that with you.
We're wishing you the best of luck.
I do miss you, but it's okay.
You guys set something free.
Yeah, you know, like we gotta move on.
We're just talking on the way over to the practice field
that you are, I think you are poised
to have a very long career.
Yeah.
I guess it's actually a big opportunity
for you as a backup here.
Like you could be in the NFL for like 12, 13 more seasons.
That's the goal.
Yeah.
Play as long as possible.
I mean, this is what you dream of,
to play football at the professional level as a kid
and then to be here.
And you never know what's going to happen, you know?
So happy to be out here and happy to be in Buffalo.
And we'll see how long we can play for, you know?
I like it.
Oh, positive vibes.
I love that.
All positive.
Yes.
All right, well, the MVP, Mitch Trebisky,
thank you so much.
We appreciate it.
And thank you for bringing the trophy.
Hey, you guys had the witnesses.
The world had to finally see it for themselves.
It's beautiful.
In the flesh.

is brought to you by our great friends over at 3G.

All right, let's wrap up the show.
Great interview with Mr. Biskie.
Again, reminder, Ryan Fitzpatrick coming up on Wednesday.
It was great seeing the MVP in person.
Now, I'll just say it.
I thought he was going to gift it to us.
Yeah, well, he handed it to us.
So did I.
I really did.
I don't know if he thinks that we desperately want it.
I wanted it.
Yeah, no, I wanted it.
I lost for it.
I was very excited to be holding it.
And then we took a picture with it.
And so when we took the picture,
I still had it in my hands,
but he was standing in between us.
So I was like, better let him hold it
and then we can all touch it in the picture.
And then he just put it right back in his bag.
So if someone has a sick 3D printer
and wants to do the boys a solid
and make us some replica MVPs,
we would absolutely display them in the studio.
Or if you're friends with Mitch
and let's say you've known him for a long time
and are very close with him,
maybe played with him in college.
Top two, not two.
Top two.
And you just want to let him know that we would,
we would like the MVP trophy.
It's really our.
I think he wants it.
I don't know.
Would you want it?
I want it.
No, I'm saying if you were Mitch, would you want it?
I don't know.
I think it, I mean, hmm.
You know what?
The Nickelodeon blimp is.
We can't take it from him.
As the right, the right,
the rightful owners of the trophy would say,
we're glad that it's in a safe home with Mitch.
But that really just means that we want the fucking trophy.
Yeah, no, I was very excited.
I mean, you heard in the interview,
it fucking threw me off when he showed me
in the duffel bag right before we sat down.
And I was just a blabbermouth for the first like,
you know, a minute and a half there.
I couldn't figure out what I was going to do.
The blimp has a kaleidoscope in it.
I just want to say I want it.
I want it.
Give me the trophy.
All right.
Mount Rushmore of Buildings.
Hmm.
Mount Rushmore of Buildings.
PFT and Billy were very excited for this one.
I expect, I don't know where I'm going to go with this.
I just thought it was a nice open-ended one.
Yeah.
All right, so how are we going to,
we do, we do numbers, decide who goes first?
Yeah.
Drop the order.
17.
Give me an eight.
Billy?
69.
69?
I'll do 75.
Oh, 75 already got taken.
Oh, fuck.
Whoops.
Three.
All right.
All right, PFT, what do you want the order to get?
All right, so I'll go first.
And then big cat, so it'll go this way.
With Hank wrapping around at the end of it.
All right.
Now, the last time we did Mount Rushmore,
I think it was, Billy, you just did it, right?
There was no collaboration.
No, no, Jake had the pool.
Okay.
That was a week ago.
Yeah, that was a week ago.
Okay, got it.
We did three on the road.
He's still high from Benny the Butcher.
Yeah.
Is this a HUBBA collaboration too?
They, who cares?
They always are.
We figured it out.
All right.
Okay.
So right off the bat.
It's always Team HUBBA.
Okay.
HUBBA.
First overall, one, one.
Is this a collaboration with you guys?
Like, is there something we need to know?
No, no, are you asking all these questions?
No, I'm very, I spent way too much time thinking
about what is a building.
I'm sketched out.
You're sketched out?
I'm sketched out.
Okay, one, one.
I'm going to go with Willis Tower overall.
I don't know where that is.
The Sears Tower in Chicago.
It was the tallest building in the world for a long time.
It's still the tallest in my head.
They, they, they, they sold it.
Stupid.
Sears died.
Sick building.
Sounds like a cop-ass building.
It is a sick building.
It's an awesome building.
Great views.
Yeah, you can stand, you can stand in the,
in the ledge over time.
That's when you stand at the scary,
like you look down at your feet
and everyone takes that picture.
Terrifying.
Yeah.
All right, I'll go, I'll go with the Superdome.
Superdome.
Good building.
Remember when we were there?
Silver Dome, sick.
I'll go with the Superdome.
It's super.
It houses great football games, great memories
and also saved a lot of people's lives
and could treat it right.
At the, at the some, or a WWE event
when Undertaker lost, Hulk Hogan was like,
thank you, the Silver Dome.
Silver Dome, yes.
And it was one of the times where everyone in the crowd
was all at the same time was like,
ugh.
Yeah.
Like you messed that up.
Yes, yes.
That Silver Dome is sick.
Doesn't stand anymore.
But that, I sometimes, there was some sick pictures
of people going into the abandoned Silver Dome.
Go look it up.
You know what else?
Spend all day looking at them.
The, the Astrodome had some good pictures too.
Of like weeds growing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Your guys pick.
The Bass Pro Shops Pyramid.
Fuck you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you know where it is?
I knew you guys had something.
Memphis.
The amount of hype we had.
We stopped there on our trip last month.
There was no hype.
I gave three suggestions for what Mount Rushmore
and Billy said buildings.
You guys had buildings last week too.
You're like, we should do buildings.
No, we haven't been, we haven't been hovering it.
I have not been hyping a building.
We've not been hovering it.
We've been hovering it.
We've been hovering it.
Okay.
Good pick.
Great pick.
Yes.
The Bass Pro Shops Pyramid is incredible.
I'm gonna go with the real pyramids.
Yeah.
The pyramids of Giza.
I think those count.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean like the greatest, greatest structural engineering
ever done.
Probably done by aliens.
And then this one's for you PFTs
since you wanna know like how my fuck game is going.
I'll give you the building.
I wanna fuck the most.
And that would be Allegiant Stadium.
Okay.
All right.
Surf's free beer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Surf's free beer.
Just super sexy stadium.
Now that I'm single.
If I could really just stick it in anything.
It wouldn't be the Allegiant.
It's got the flame in there.
Yeah.
The Al Davis flame.
That's my new bit.
All right.
Jake.
We're gonna go with the Roman Coliseum.
Okay.
A lot of history though.
Okay.
Um.
Got some fucked up history though.
I mean same thing with the pyramids.
Yeah.
No I guess.
I'll go with the white house.
Yeah.
I'll go with the white house.
Oh no those aliens dude.
Give me the white house.
White house.
The white house.
All right.
Libcat.
She's dope.
She's dope.
All right well I mean it's no surprise
that two of my choices got taken right there.
So I'm gonna go with Sydney Opera House.
The clamshell design.
It's iconic.
I think you have to say the iconic Sydney Opera House.
Yup.
For my next one I'm gonna go with the Mecca.
Madison Square Garden.
Okay.
The Mecca.
Okay.
Hmm.
I have won an all time pander pick
but I'm not gonna do it.
Do it.
Can I say it but I'm not gonna do it?
No.
Do it.
Someone else could do it.
Do it.
Just do it.
Pander.
No, no, no.
Well there's, well actually I have two pander picks.
All right.
Send them.
Should I pick one or two?
Pick one.
Well you can't pick one.
No, no I'm saying.
I'm saying pick one.
I have them listed one or two.
Two.
It's the Barstool Milton office.
Where this company.
I don't know that that pandering works for this whole.
That's fine.
But it's where everything.
That place was a shithole.
It was such a bad place.
Was that, was it the only office inside that building
or did you share it with people?
It was the old dentist's office, right?
Yeah, there was other, it was like a complex or whatever
so it wasn't, we didn't have to share the actual building
with people but there was like another business
right next door.
Yeah, okay.
Multiple businesses.
A lot of history there.
Barthas company pretty much as we know it.
So yeah.
Barstool Milton office.
Yeah, I don't really, people always talk fondly
about those memories.
No I mean you, I had it perfect.
I had to go in there every day
and it was like this place is a shithole.
I had it perfect because I probably only went in there
like 10 times total in my life.
So I didn't have to actually live in there like you did.
So I had the perfect detachment
which I think most fans do.
Right.
Yeah, they have all but good memories of that.
Right.
Yeah.
The other pander would have been even more pandering.
All right.
Really?
Jake?
HQ too?
I don't know.
No.
We were going to take the Capitol
but it's not too good nowadays.
I bet you were.
We're not taking the Capitol.
Billy wearing his camouflage gear.
We're not picking the Capitol.
Thinking about taking the Capitol
or trying that.
We failed.
We're not picking the Capitol.
We're not.
Where were you on January 6th?
I was in this office watching it on TV with you guys.
Oh that's convenient.
We are not picking the Capitol
but we are taking.
You already did.
The Graff House.
Where the Declaration of Independence was written.
It's not going to end up all on the graphic
because no one knows that.
That's where our country started.
The Graff House.
I picked where Barstool was started.
Yeah but this country started Barstool.
Meh.
Boom.
Leaning Tower of Pizza.
Okay, nice.
Dobe.
Please put it as pizza.
Dobe-ass building isn't how it's spelled.
Yeah it might.
And then your net worth.
Ah ha ha ha ha.
Building your net worth.
Yeah.
It's great.
It's my favorite building.
Nice.
Mine too.
Nice.
Little Gary V. shit there.
Yeah.
Love it.
Think about your mom getting murdered every morning.
That's how I start my day and I'm very happy.
Anything that you love in life.
Kill it all.
Why build a house when you can build your net worth.
All right.
Last.
You guys you know this is a podcast right?
All right.
Do you want it?
Do you want to do it?
Who picked Graff?
The thing is I thought that the original name of it
was Liberty Hall.
Why didn't you just say that?
None of us would have corrected you.
All would have been like cool.
Let's just write.
And of course that's a cool beer hall.
Let's write it down as Liberty Hall on the pole.
No, no, no.
You picked the Graff.
I know it sucks, fuck.
How do you even spell that?
G-R-A-F-F.
It sounds like a kind of shitty bar in New York.
Yeah.
Yes.
Empire State Building.
Okay.
All right.
Billy.
Wow.
What was that?
We literally had to talk to stay away from that.
Everyone who's anti-Odaniacs will vote for you now.
Or no, everyone who's Odaniac, yes.
Billy just dragged me into the mud.
Yeah, you got killed.
Is the stadium a building?
This is what I took for Billy.
That was so uncalled for, Billy.
Okay.
I take Wrigley Field for my last one.
I literally spent for, was that the other panda?
No, the other panda, well, go ahead.
You go with your last one.
I was going to take the Siegel Center.
Okay.
Where VCU plays more life-altering than a trip to Europe.
No, the ultimate panda was going to be
the Knights of Columbus in Buffalo.
Okay, all right.
Which is a sick building.
They have fucking 10 bowling lanes in a full-court basketball.
But I thought that would be like such a,
like the Milton Office has actual meaning.
That would have been a, hey, you know,
flavor of the day kind of thing.
Still buy a shirt though, please.
Things we missed.
The Burj Khalifa.
That wasn't that bad.
I can't believe no one took the Taj Mahal.
Taj Mahal is a good building.
I kind of wanted to, but I also like, why is it so cool?
Because the Taj Mahal is basically the biggest self-bonk
in the history of the world.
It was built by a horny king, Shah Jahan,
and he built it because he wanted to fuck his wife so bad.
She wouldn't fuck him anymore.
So he's like, what if I just make this big building for you?
It worked, I assume.
And how long did it take to build though?
Way too long, she died, so he didn't get laid.
I think I ended up being hit, her like death
or burial thing too, it became like a tomb.
Putin's palace, it's like 1.3 billion dollars, Bill.
Sorry, I misspoke there, billion dollars.
The Hoosiers Gym.
Oh, that's a great building.
Stonehenge.
Playboy Mansion.
Michael Jordan's house that he still can't sell.
It was fucking sick.
Washington Monument.
Washington Monument.
Pretty good building.
Paddy's Pub.
Yep, that's a good one.
I didn't know if we could do fictional,
but I wrote that down.
The Northside Tavern in Atlanta, Georgia.
Oh, great one.
Great building.
Hogwarts.
Hogwarts, another fictional one.
We could've done.
Death Star.
Death Star.
Well, R.I.P.
It's a ship, too soon.
Spoiler.
Spoiler, sorry.
I haven't even seen the movie.
I just know that it blows up at the end.
All right, I think that went well.
I was, again, I'm so dumb.
I think also I get like by a bing.
By Sunday afternoon, especially in a hurricane,
I'm like, I've been dead brained so hard
that when we're like buildings, I just sat at my kitchen
table being like, is that a building?
Like is the Eiffel Tower building?
The Space Needle.
I think that counts as well.
I don't think that the Empires are the Eiffel Tower counts.
Yeah, I couldn't.
There's an apartment on the top of it.
Is there?
Is that where the dude used to live?
Yeah, the guy who created the tower
has an apartment on the top there.
No, you're thinking about Quasimodo and Notre Dame.
No, no, there's an apartment at the top of the thing.
Notre Dame could have been on that list, too.
It was a place that burned down.
Notre Dame.
Notre Dame, PFT made that joke and everyone
tried to cancel it.
Yeah, turns out I was right.
Nobody died.
There's a bunch of old French artwork got singed.
Yeah, just billions of dollars worth of history.
Oh, no, history.
The graph building.
What does that fucking thing look like?
The graph building.
Yeah, honestly, the Declaration of Independence
is overrated.
We said at that point, hey, we're independent,
but we weren't even independent until we won the war.
Yeah, it's the graph building.
I'm looking at it.
I think it actually might be Liberty Hall.
Oh, no, you can't change that.
Tiger Stadium.
Graph.
Tiger Stadium.
Death Valley.
Yes, death house.
We take a big bore every time.
Oh, I tell you, you're actually going to say.
Detroit Tiger Stadium, too, was an old timer
with the fucking upper deck up against the wall.
All time.
The old Miami Marlins stadium where
they had the sculptures.
The sculptures.
That's what I should have said.
It's outside now.
I love looking at old stadiums.
I love looking at old stadiums.
It's a passion of mine.
Watching people borderline die jumping on milk crates
and old stadiums.
Just give me that, and I'm a happy, happy man.
Thinway Park would have been a good one, too.
I don't want to go too crazy with stadiums.
Yeah.
What other stadiums would even be?
Rose Bowl.
Rose Bowl.
Rightfully.
I actually meant to write down Rose Bowl.
We should have mounted more stadiums.
The Orlando Airport.
The tallest building in the world in Dubai.
Oh, yeah, the Burj Khalifa.
Yeah, that's the tallest.
Yeah, but again, when I hear tallest building in the world,
I'm still like, oh, no, that's the Sears Tower.
Yeah.
Always will be.
They should just build a series of taller and taller
antennas on the top of the Sears Tower.
That'd be cool.
Just actually, no.
Milk crates.
Just a shitload of milk crates.
Dare you.
Let people jump on them.
All right, numbers.
Ryan Fitzpatrick on Wednesday.
Great interview coming up.
77.
99.
55.
18.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
By the way, you find milk crates at the back of supermarkets.
You're making this up right now.
No, that's where they all are.
We forgot about the.
Oh, recap.
Shit, my bad.
Recap.
Fuck, I do it on Mondays.
I'm sorry.
Good job.
No worries.
I actually love Billy's recap.
Billy's been a fucking horse when
it comes to blogging.
Everyone give Billy a handshake in the chat.
Oh, yeah.
Actually, I haven't done that a long time.
I mean, honestly, I love the handshakes.
I haven't.
I haven't been doing my job.
I haven't been giving out handshakes.
Yeah, I used to.
Can I just say too that I love the handshake
because I love whenever like the young guys do something
that I can figure out the meaning of very quickly.
If that's really the bar for me.
Actually, Billy now prefers that you just salute him.
Oh, yeah.
No, no.
Yeah, just send him gifts.
If you have any medals.
The picture of that guy that's crying at his computer.
I'm not trying to steal a valet.
Purple hearts lying around.
You want to pin them on him.
Please do so.
Yeah, tag him and chaps in the same tweet.
Whatever response first is the real Marine.
Anyway, no, the milk crates are like literally
at the back of every Walmart and stop and shop.
And they're right by the loading bay.
OK, if you're looking for them.
Good to know.
Also, that's got to be on the Mount Rushmore
places to smoke a cigarette, though.
Like out behind a grocery store next.
Yeah, you want to do that on Wednesday?
Yeah, we could do that.
Also, someone hit up Mount Rushmore of Rom Coms,
which I think would be good as well.
We got a couple of couple more weeks.
So fun fact, Nathan Peterman has started every snap
for the Raiders this preseason.
That is fun.
I kind of spin zone myself into thinking
because Nathan Peterman had such a bad game
that couple of times that like when he plays,
he's not scared of doing that.
And he might actually be good.
Can't get any worse.
Yeah.
So what about so they're not giving Marcus
Mario to any snaps at all?
I think he might be hurt.
He's hurt.
OK, yeah.
Also, Sam Ellinger had a bad stat line.
But if you actually watch every single play.
Watch the tape.
It's actually, it's, you know, it wasn't his fault.
Two tips for interceptions and I'll be breaking it down.
We got to get you the all 22 this year, Billy.
Yeah, you have watched the tape.
We got to get Pete Prisco Hall of Fame vote.
No, that's what I will Brinson hit me up to.
Yeah.
Except I don't think he was talking
about getting him a Hall of Fame vote.
I think he was talking about getting Pete Prisco
into the Hall of Fame as a contributor to the game.
That might be too far.
I mean, I'm down to explore it.
We'll try.
But I think we have actually a better
Dan Herron is going to get in the Hall of Fame
before Pete Prisco.
Maybe.
And I'm talking football.
But we can like maybe we can play up the whole
like there's very few Italians in the Hall of Fame.
And it's it's past time that we've made up for the discrimination.
Well, he's got to stop stumping for Tony Bisselli, then.
Yeah, and also big enough.
Pete.
He I'm going to say pervert.
Maybe maybe we get Pete Prisco like Inspector Gadget
when Tony Bisselli finally does get in.
He's got a trench coat.
We just hide Pete Prisco in there.
I think that like Pete might have a Hall of Fame vote.
It does he?
I don't know.
So let's vote for yourself.
I'm going to text Pete and see.
I don't know if he does.
But OK, if he does not have a Hall of Fame vote,
we should get him one.
Yeah.
And if he is not, if he has a Hall of Fame vote,
we should try to get him into the Hall of Fame.
Yes.
All right.
What else on the recap?
That's it.
All right.
Numbers.
Since we didn't get it right, you want to just go again.
78, 99.
8, this spend does not count towards official totals.
Yes, it does.
Yes, it does.
OK, all right.
Officially sanctioned spin.
Double.
Oh, 69 was just up there.
Both count.
Oh, by the way, 87.
I have to write.
What did you guess?
I'm 78.
I have to right some wrongs.
Turns out it's not Buffalo.
It's not Buffalo's in North America.
It's Bison.
I should have known that.
Bison.
Bison.
Also, unfortunately, elephants do not look at humans.
Oh, no.
What?
Billy, this is worse than Sturgill writing a song
about a dead dog.
What the fuck, Billy?
No, dude.
I've been thinking about that all weekend.
And it makes me smile every time I
think that an elephant wants to boot me.
All right, 79.
All right, 99.
Are you done?
Yes.
All right, 99.
8.
55.
This counts.
18.
69.
So how do they look at humans?
Turns out the study wasn't conclusive.
No way.
Dude, yeah, I got a bunch of elephant hardos messaging me.
Like, elephant psychologists.
I know the study you were looking at.
It's wrong.
You have a list of studies that I've said this before.
There's studies.
Any arborists?
Yeah, it says bullshit.
Shockingly, most of the arborists that hit me up
were like, you're right.
Our job is that we show up.
And then we laugh when the owner walks away from the tree
and we're like, yeah, this tree is one of the worst trees
on the hush.
But yeah, I respect the hustle for all the arborists out there.
Keep grinding.
Elephants go crazy when they go into musk.
Love you guys.
80.
99.
18.
By the way, this Friday is the one year anniversary
of the machine.
Oh, wow.
We did like 20.
OK.
69.
Well, I just saw eight come.
8, 8, 8.
Oh, my god.
No way.
Wait, what the fuck?
That was going to be eight.
Wait, that was the first time there was three balls trying
to get in.
It was literally the Mr. Smithers.
All numbers stay the same.
It was Mr. Burns.
Mr. Burns, immune system.
41.
Three Stooges theory.
All right.
That's all the winners.
I still love you guys.
It's a nice day to find you, shine away.
I'll be coming for your love of cake, shine away.
I'll be coming for your love of cake.
Take on me.
Take me on.
I'll be gone in a day or two.
Needless to say, I'm all the same here.
But I'm peace, don't run it away.
Learn to learn that life is OK.
Say unto me, it's no better to be safe than sorry.
Say unto me, it's no better to be safe than sorry.
Take on me.
Take me on.
I'll be gone in a day or two.
I'll be gone in a day or two.
I'll be gone in a day or two.
I'll be gone in a day or two.
Take me on.
I'll be gone in a day.
I'll be gone in a day.
Pardon my take, presented by Barclay Sports.
Thanks for watching.
