Starting point is 00:01:47 Okay, let's go It's part of my take. There's an agar so sports. Welcome to part of my take today is Wednesday, November 8th. And my God, they got to stop putting Zach Wilson in prime time games. Mr. Fourth quarter, he had a nice drive at the end of the game. Well, it was awesome with Troy Ackman. It was like, now this is where Zach Wilson really comes alive on that last drive when they're down was a 27 6 at the time. Yeah, no points, which hurt people
Starting point is 00:02:52 who bet the over, which would have been a very lucky over. That was one of the most frustrating games to watch because the jet defense is as legit as legit comes. They dominated that game from a defensive standpoint. And I know Zach Wilson has no offensive line. Zach Wilson might be my favorite guy taking sacks because when he takes a sack he really he doesn't go half measure. He's not like, oh, I'll just take this little sack here, this little five yard sack. No, no, he's like, how far back can I get where I take this sack? How can I make sure that even, there's a theory floating out there
Starting point is 00:03:28 that Zach Wilson takes such great third down sacks so that there's never even a doubt of going for it so we can get off the field. Yeah, there's also the theory that the Jets offense align is so bad that it doesn't matter who they have a quarterback where it could be. Honestly, I think if they had Josh Dobbs at quarterback, they could figure it out.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Josh Dobbs, the zero practice reps is probably a better fit for that offense than Zach Wilson is. He looks confused in the middle of plays. Like after he takes his drop and he looks somewhat competent as he goes back there. And then as soon as anything off schedule starts to happen, he looks like he had never run that play before. And he has no idea what his receivers are doing. He was offensive line is doing. Troy, I love it when Troy Eggman gets frustrated at players like during the games because he actually does not hide his disgust for it. And you know, who does hide their disgust for it? Oh, his memes. Yeah, because memes just go as radio silent when the jets are playing poorly. He lost the he lost the password to our Twitter account.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Part might take Twitter account for anyone who's looking for updates and Monday night football. Sorry, there were none last night. It's okay, it's not like there was a huge upset and basketball going on once in generation. He lost the password. That's fine, he lost the password. I understand, I'm not blaming.
Starting point is 00:04:37 And my wifi went out. Yeah, wifi went out. I'm gonna blame Hank. Oh, so your wifi, your phone doesn't work? Yeah, no. It's disconnected. That's too bad. Hank, don't have cell service. Hank is, doesn't work pay for your phone doesn't work? Yeah, no. It's disconnected to Wi-Fi. That's too bad. Hang on, have cell service.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Hang is, doesn't work pay for your phone bill? No, it doesn't. Oh, well it should. But Hang, aren't you memes his boss? I am. So, how does memes lose the password? He never reached out and ran that up the chain either. I would have been happy to facilitate
Starting point is 00:05:00 getting him a password replacement. As a boss, that doesn't set off red flags. If there's no tweeting going on during Monday football, or during the four-mentioned college basketball upset, it does. We mentioned it to him, and he just didn't respond. Hank was also busy because he was working on his lighthouse presentation, which is coming out today.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Yeah, we'll get to that in Hotsie Coolter. Oh, I thought, okay, all right. We'll get you on a Hotsie Coolter on. So memes, we also had someone who tries to hide their disgust for Zach Wilson, but does a really bad job of it is Robert Salah. After the game, he had one of the meanest quotes you can say about someone after Zach Wilson had a horrific Monday night. Again, their offensive line is bad. We're not going to say it's all on Zach Wilson He just loves to run backwards And find a way to just get maximum amount of negative yards
Starting point is 00:05:50 But Robert Salah said after the game. I'm not going to say it was even close to Zach will Wilson's worst game Which is so mean. I actually agree with that It is but it's all true. It's also so mean to be like what you guys just watch was really bad He's been way worse way worse. It's true, but it's a very mean truth. It's such a mean. It's an insult analysis. Yeah. So memes. Do you still think the Jets are the best team in the NFC? The NFC standings took a hit this week. The Jets play in the NFC by the way. Yeah, for anyone who doesn't know. NFC standings took a hit this week. The Jets play in the NFC by the way.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Yeah, for anyone who doesn't know. NFC standings took a hit. Well, I put lines one, Jets two, 49ers three, C-Hawks four, Eagles five. Okay, you know ball memes. So where you at memes? Because this is the most frustrating team to watch. I've been here before.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Having a defense as good as the Jets defense, and then having nothing to show on offense will make you just not want to be a sports fan anymore. The Jets won that game with, like, that was a very winnable game defensively and what they did to the chargers, but they just couldn't muster anything in terms of offense. Yeah, and the worst part is that was probably
Starting point is 00:07:08 the most important game of the season. Oh. So going into the game, if they would have won, their playoff chance goes to 66%. Now that they lost, it goes to 33%. Oh. It's a big hit. It's 50% drop, basically.
Starting point is 00:07:22 The chargers beat you 27 to 6, and they had a hundred and ninety one total yards of offense. Yeah, it's not a good chargers team either. No, it's not. They did just beat you. No, they, that, that's not saying much. Means you think that if you, if you took USC's offense and put the judge defense on the team, do you think that they could beat the chargers? Yeah, by 50. By 50. Wow. Um, But wait, but it would be USC's offensive line. Yeah, that's fine. Okay. If you're if you're a Jets fan, you're super bowl every single week is the
Starting point is 00:07:54 same thing. And that's getting to watch Aaron Rogers throw a couple passes and warm ups and being like, well, when he comes back, you know, it's a really good recipe for success. When you take like a 40 year old quarterback that has one ankle and then you put them behind that offensive line. I think that's going to end up well for everybody. And Aaron Rogers, I've tried to make my peace with him. I think I've done a good job this year. It helps that he hasn't been playing. I mean, what what's he doing? What it like, it is, we criticize Russell Wilson for it. Aaron Rogers doing the same thing. Monday football comes around.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Sunday football comes around. He hops on a plane goes to New York, throws a ball around on the field, just so that every camera in the world can catch him and be like, whoa, this is crazy. Is he not with the team? I think he goes about him being in meetings. Oh, he might be back with the team now, but either way, it's just like every, every single game,
Starting point is 00:08:45 like what, you don't have to throw the passes before the game. He's not taking simulated fist bumps running out into the field though. And he's like, there's no reason for him to stand on the field throwing passes just so that all the cameras can be like Aaron Rogers looking to be strong pass. So my theory about Aaron Rogers is, uh, he is, he's a troll. He loves trolling. He loves fucking with the media a little bit, right? Um, I don't think that he's going to come back in a couple of weeks. He's a troll. He loves trolling. He loves fucking with the media a little bit, right? I
Starting point is 00:09:05 Don't think that he's gonna come back in a couple weeks. I think he's doing this knowing that the media will see him on TV and Talk about Aaron Rogers coming back. Yeah, and he's doing it to fuck with everybody I don't there there might be an outside outside chance that if the jets make the playoffs He's back and I'm saying this as somebody I did put a bet on Aaron Rogers to when come back player of the year, which was plus 10,000. So I think I win, I win $10,000. I put a hundred bucks on it. So I'm hoping that happens. But I think he's fucking with us a little bit. So I think he's fucking with us. He did say after the game, who is he talking to? There were James. He's like, I'll be back in a few weeks.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I didn't cover his mouth. Most of the time, players cover their mouth. We'll do it in those comments. There also is the theory. I saw one of the levitard guys through this out there that is a good theory that maybe he never towards his Achilles. Oh, at all. And he's just doing this to prove that modern medicine
Starting point is 00:09:56 is Fugazi. And he's like, he just didn't tear his Achilles. He had maybe a bad ankle injury. I liked that theory. He did a fake, you know, he was actually in a green screen studio. Went the picture of him in surgery. Uh-huh. It was, it was, it was where they taped the moon landing.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Stanley Kubrick fielded it. Yeah. I mean, it's, there's only one guy that this theory actually would give me, like, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be like, no chance that's true. It's Aaron Rodgers. Like, you couldn't do this theory for Kirk cousins No, you could do this theory for Aaron Roger. Although I we saw his calf We saw his cat happened there was it was like the Katie thing. Yeah, so he got the same well
Starting point is 00:10:36 He got the same type of surgery, right the speed bridge. Yeah, that What's his name? It's bionic. Yeah, Georgia Brock Bauer's had no Brock Bauer's had an ankle injury. He had the zip tie put in his ankle. I thought that was also a speed bridge. I know it was a different injury. Yeah, that's Alabama ankle. The two of the thing where they just,
Starting point is 00:10:55 they're like, oh, you have a really bad sprain. Let me just zip tie your ankle together. The doctor actually just takes you into the surgery room and just rub some dirt. Yeah, I don't know if You didn't get back out there. But I don't think he's as close to coming back, especially if you see that offensive line. Like why would you come back off the most major surgery you can have and then agree to play back there.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Right. He's throwing the ball. He's not running around running for his life, which you'd have to do. It would be a great story. I'm rooting for him to come back as a reformed Aaron Rogers fan or former hater now fan? I'm rooting for him to come back. I just think that, you know, it's a little much every single Sunday or Monday. Then like, do you see this pass? I think they should have him just run out onto the field with the American flag before
Starting point is 00:11:40 every game. Oh, that was when he was. That means that he's had his password to his account. Yeah, because he did tweet. This was cool. And it was just a video of Aaron Rogers coming out on the field. So his Wi-Fi worked for that. That should be his job for the rest of the year. Just get the people amped up. Memes. He's giving Max that's there for turning his mic. Yeah, Max forgot to push the button again. This is the last out. Me, he's such a dick.
Starting point is 00:12:11 He's such a dick. He's such a dick. That was fucking, Mike's off. It's great though, because it's really, like memes cares a lot about the jets and he's acting accordingly. You know, radio silent, being a dick to everyone. This is how people should cope with their team, come into the realization that you're wasting
Starting point is 00:12:29 an all-time defense on Zach Wilson. I just wish that the Jets would make it fun at least, you know? And we'll get him again someday night. They great. We need to see them do something that's entertaining. We threw out all the best names as quarterbacks that should step in on like a week to week basic. Can you imagine how funny it would be watching Carson wins behind that offensive line? You just want to talk about a guy like running for his life
Starting point is 00:12:52 and completely losing it in the backfield. Carson wins. It would be so funny. He break both ankles again. We have. Yeah. So the the the upcoming standalone games is the true sicko hour. It's like we're testing our metal as sports fans because you have to remind yourself that in May, you would kill for these games, but we have Thursday night bears, Panthers, Sunday morning in Germany, Colts Patriots, Sunday night Raiders Jets, Monday night Broncos Bills. Broncos Bills might at least be kind of fun. Yeah, it's it's it is really going to like you sure you love football, watch every single one of these standalone games, then we can tell you that you love football. I do love football. I do too. I like watching. We would if I read that same
Starting point is 00:13:38 list to you in July, you'd be like, give it to me right now. I can talk myself into anything. Yeah. Now I might I might watch the morning game in Germany, like from bed, and maybe take a, take a snooze at halftime. Yeah. And it might not be like totally focusing on that. But the jets, just don't give us the jets in prime time anymore. Please. This is the last one that they have.
Starting point is 00:14:00 They have Black Friday game, which we also have college football on that day. So you could at least have something else to watch. Yeah. The Jets were not playing football last night. No, it was not a football game. Meas? No, and then I'm on. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Yeah. And then when they're playing that bad, I just don't know why they just don't give the ball to Breeze Hall like a thousand times. And then they put Daven Cook in who does nothing So Breeze Hall does good put Daven Cook in does absolutely nothing they should cut him. I hate Daven Cook. Oh We're current guests. Yeah, no, I'm done with the Daven Cook experiment Breeze Hall do you think I was anything to do with maybe the grotesque offensive line he's running behind. And the fact that they know they can't pass. Yeah. No, you still you still get downfield. You still run.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Yeah, you can still run. Can you run back to run? That is true. Good analysis. Running backs do run. What? So we're overall memes, final thoughts. I think the season's over. Okay. Wow. That was quick. That was really quick. They went from being the one seed in the NFC to season over overnight. I mean, the Zach Wilson Ruler coaster ride is just not you want to get off. You've puked all over yourself so many times and it's like a carny with like three teeth that just keeps hitting it even harder. Like, hey,
Starting point is 00:15:23 oh, oh, you're puking. Well, I'm not letting you get off my ride. That's what's happening. It's Iowa football. You saw the punt return touchdown last night and you're just like, all right, the game's over. Well, no, no, no, no, no. Iowa would never give up a punt return. All right, you're right, you're right.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Their special team is elite. But still to my point, punt return touchdown, game's over and then you just have to watch four quarters of. Yeah, if shit. Yeah. At least it seemed like the game went by pretty quick last night Yeah, I just make that up or did it ended pretty early. Yeah, it did it felt like it went by the Forever, I thought it was fun. No All right, so before we do college football we should also mention last night J.M. You yes
Starting point is 00:16:00 I don't know if you had it on your hot sea cool throne, but I figured they deserve the Beginning of the show they do have basketball team Hank. We talked about it on Monday's show. And I said, yeah, they're playing against Michigan State and you're like, look, gross. You're going to get your ass kicked. Uh, well, it turns out it was going to be my hot seat. My hot seat was going to be Tom iso. Sorry. Back on the hot seat. I figured GMU deserve the show. I appreciate that. I appreciate
Starting point is 00:16:22 the acknowledgement, um, for the University of Virginia, J.M.U. Tom iso, we put him on the hot seat as a take that we were squatting on, or at least I did back in 2016. I don't want to lump you guys into my bad take. No, I think I've been like, let's just say I haven't been pushing back. Yes. Yeah. So it was 2016. I don't totally agree, but I'm not like PFT. You're crazy. It was 2016 and Tom iso was still very much and still very much is a great basketball coach. Yeah, but I knew that at some point, the final fours weren't gonna come out
Starting point is 00:16:55 of rapid enough bases for people to be like, oh, Iso is still the greatest coach in college basketball. And so we just squatted on it, and I'd say, can said, Tom iso is overrated. We don't actually believe it now, but just wait because the conversation's gonna happen. We want to be the first ones to say it now
Starting point is 00:17:10 I'm starting to believe it a little bit. Here's some fun stats about the game last night. You ready for this? Yeah Michigan State is the first top five team to lose its season opener against an unranked opponent since 2005 Do you know who lost that game? Who it was also Michigan state who lost to Hawaii That was this is a bygame, too. They paid J. M. U to come and play basketball. Yeah, we cucked them They paid for their friends. They cut James Thomas would sat in the corner and touch his tiny little penis Well, J. M. U. just dunked all over his court was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it I like watching to do that to my court. I feel like Thomas might have a hog you think so
Starting point is 00:17:44 He's a little guy. I know you might might as Italian. I think he made Italian, Italian, stallion. He might have used to have a hog. Yeah. But I don't know. I've seen him like, rap his hands around his players, throw it before. It looks like he's got some experience, gripping wide shafts. James Madison beat them 79, 76. It's Michigan State's first November home loss since 1986. Long time. It's also Jamie's first win against ranked opponents since 1992. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:18:11 When we beat Jason Kidd, I think they were ranked like number 19 in the country. And it was left to do Zell as our head coach at the time. Yeah, it's very cool. Jamie is a good team. They're a good basketball team. I think they're picked by the coaches to finish first at the Sunbelt. They've got some good players. I will say that Michigan State probably
Starting point is 00:18:29 won't shoot as poorly as they did. One for 20. One for 20 from three. And 14 free throws missed. Yeah. The first half they just they missed everything. The refs by the way. Refs and the announcers, both of them trying very hard to get Michigan State to win that game. They tried so hard. They should be arrested. It should be investigated. I think that there's some funny stuff going on up in East Lansing. But yeah, they also, you know, J.M. you played them tough. And I don't think Michigan states are gonna play that poorly.
Starting point is 00:18:53 They'll probably be fine. But if you beat the number four team in the country big cat in their own stadium. Yeah, you should be number four. You should be number four in the country. Yeah, you should get to keep it. J.M. you should be right. It's a big, you walk away with that ranking. It's a big year for J.M. You should be right. It's a big you walk away with that ranking.
Starting point is 00:19:05 It's a big year for J.M. You sports and not only are we, you know, in line for New Year's six ball, potentially, if the NCAA completely changes mind about everything, they always do. Also, we're one in basketball with a huge win and our soccer team just beat the number one team in the country. UCF. Look at that. Duke dogs, baby. Duke dogs. Yeah. J.M. You should be the number four team in the country, UCF. Look at that. Duke dogs, baby. Duke dogs. Yeah, Jamm, you should be the number four team in Michigan State should be picked to win the Sunbelt. A great.
Starting point is 00:19:29 They should be swapped. I fully swapped. I think that's fine. Yeah. Did you see the wild meter part of the game? Oh, yeah. Matt Buckland, Jamm, you assistant coach, is the nephew of Thomas.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Whoa, that is wild. That is wild. That is wild. That is wild. That is wild. Uncle Tom's cabin is going to be pretty empty around Thanksgiving. Damn. Wow. Wild meter.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Yeah. Big time wild meter. It was great to have college basketball back. I have, I, I, it just when you were rattling off all that stuff about Izzo, is Tom Izzo Aaron Rodgers. And Aaron Rodgers Tom Izzo. Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:19:57 They win one early. Mm hmm. Have some modern, you know, some success, final fours, NFC championship games. Win one early enough that everyone talks about you in this status, in this tier that you don't belong. Yeah. And also it helps that he's like best friends
Starting point is 00:20:13 with Coach Kay and Jim Bayheim. So everyone's like, oh, Coach Kay and, and is, oh, like they just win championships. They've won six together. Yeah, they go out together as a crew and it's like between them, they've got 10 championships. Right, right, right, right, right, in teams, both in the Midwest. Yeah. Yeah, they go out together as a crew and it's like between them. They've got 10 championships. Right. Right. Team teams both in the Midwest. Yeah. Yeah. Good point. I think, I think, I think, is it probably still hasn't called off practice yet. They probably stayed at the gym and practice
Starting point is 00:20:35 for about 10 hours last night. Probably has them shooting foul shots. He's going to, he's going to use this as motivation. No, this loss was good. They'll make a run and I think Michigan states going to be a pretty good team. Yeah, they so the one thing that you can go to if you're Michigan state fan, uh, because you obviously spent all football season, saying wait till basketball season, then basketball season started and you lost to J. M. U. at home, uh, the 2000 national title team lost to right state in the non-conference, an 11 and 17 right state.
Starting point is 00:21:06 So those are the mental gymnastics you just have to do right now. This is a good wake up call for that program. Yeah. I think they played Duke next week at the United Chicago. Yeah. Yeah. I also think that now that Bayheim is in the media, he's going to be gassing up is a, did you see that one guy?
Starting point is 00:21:22 I love that guy. I love that guy. So there's a guy at the carrier dome that said, uh, Syracuse alum first game since 1975. Uh, first game back since 1975 Jim Bayheim started his coaching in 1976. He just hates Jim Bayon. It's I respect that. That's a, I mean, imagine because like the guy was, he was an alum old and, uh, like imagine holding onto a grudge
Starting point is 00:21:45 knowing that you might not, he might outlive you. Yeah. Like Jim may, I might still coach and you'll be dead and you just outlive that grudge. No, that guy, that's the best moment he ever had. And he had a necklace, the necklace we signed on it was so good. That guy probably hates his own defense. He loves man to man. He's a thank God.
Starting point is 00:22:01 That guy's going, I can't watch that shit anymore. He, he, he follows all safety protocols when driving a car. That kind of stuff. Yep. Yeah. I don't know the red alter area. Oh and one against the spread. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:22:13 All that matters. Sorry. All that matters. You should you should win by more than 14 if you're Sarah Q's playing. Who they put Hampshire? New Hampshire. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:25:07 Boys, the monster is back. The monster is back, Alabama. We all wrote them off. The monster is officially back. Alabama is all the way back. Jaila Milro has figured it out. He's actually been phenomenal since he got benched. It was the Texas game that he got benched, I think, for the USF game. And now he's back. And Tommy
Starting point is 00:25:33 Reese and Jaylen Milro have figured this thing out. He is playing out of this world good. 63 percent passing. I think the last five games, seven touchdowns, only two interceptions, seven rushing touchdowns on top of that. He has a stat. In the last five games, seven touchdowns, only two interceptions, seven rushing touchdowns on top of that. He has a stat in the last five games, Jalen Milrose, 25 of 40 for passes of at least 15 air yards for 764 yards and 11 touchdowns. Yeah, their offense is so fun to watch
Starting point is 00:25:58 because I don't think they really trust them with an intermediate passing game. They just have them do like dump offs. They love them do wide receiver screens, bubble screens, and then they're like, you know what, fucking jail and just throw it deep. It's got a great deep ball. And he's also able to roam the ball.
Starting point is 00:26:11 He ran over Harold Perkins. Yeah. He like put Harold Perkins in the ground. He also made a couple plays. So Saturday night was just like pure college football ecstasy when we had LSU Alabama, and then at the same time Washington versus USC and it was four quarterbacks just playing out of their minds like just every single every
Starting point is 00:26:30 single minute you look back and it's either Jaden Daniels or Jalen Milro or Michael Penex or Kale Williams making an incredible play. But Jalen Milro that movie makes where he like looks like he's not going to run and then he just hits the turbos and everyone is caught standing in place. He had that one touchdown run where he kind of he rolled right and he he kept his his shoulders, uh, like, cocked for a throw and all the LSU players just stood in place. And then he just hit the like this little tiny hole for a 15 yard touchdown. It's incredible watching play football because
Starting point is 00:27:05 he was so bad in that Texas game and the start of the season. And I was at that Texas game and Alabama fans were like, how are we going to be able to figure this out? I think I think our take was right from from September. I think this Nick Sabin's best coaching job. I think he would he would agree with that because what they've done with Jalen Milro, like his ability now they're they're playing to his strengths. He's able to get outside the pocket. They're not making him a pocket passer. Alabama, I mean, it feels like destiny
Starting point is 00:27:32 that they're gonna play Georgia in the SEC championship. And they can beat Georgia. And if they beat Georgia, both of those teams get into the college football playoff, I think. Now, it's gonna get interesting because you can make the argument like what happens with Michigan and Ohio State, and then you got Florida State as well.
Starting point is 00:27:49 I think Michigan Ohio State's an elimination game. You think so? Yeah. The only way, it depends what happens this weekend with Penn State. The only way, if they're both undefeated in that game, the only way that it's not an elimination game is if other teams catch a couple losses,
Starting point is 00:28:01 so like if Florida State loses, if Texas loses again, and Michigan beats Ohio State close, Ohio State could find a way to sneak in. Essentially what happened last year? You know what's gonna be funny though, because Texas has a very good possibility they could drop an easy one to like TCU or something, but they go to TCU, then they go to Iowa State with the beat top. Yeah, so they, by no means like a Gimmie schedule for them, but if they end up with one loss and Alabama ends up with one loss, but Alabama beat Georgia,
Starting point is 00:28:28 it's Texas. Then Texas gets left out, even though Texas's best win is over Alabama, who has the best win over Georgia. I think they would put, I think they would, it's crazy as it sounds to not have any SEC teams in the, final four. If you had Florida State in the final four if you had Florida State undefeated, if you had Michigan undefeated and Texas, I get actually what they probably do is keep out the pack 12. That's what they would do. They put Texas and Alabama in. If Washington goes undefeated, yeah I guess I guess Washington could still go undefeated. Yeah, so I think they put Texas in over Alabama though.
Starting point is 00:29:03 You can't have, I mean head-to-head has to count. But yeah, itated. Yeah. So I think they put Texas in over Alabama though. You can't have, I mean, head to head has to count. But yeah, it does. Yeah. To like people that make sense and think logically, but to the people that are like so invested in college football and have had Alabama around for so long as part of like this national juggernaut. I think I do think that if Alabama beats Georgia in the SEC championship game, they would get in over Texas, even though Texas beat them.
Starting point is 00:29:26 I don't think so. Because Texas lost because you can flip that coin. This is what's so funny about these arguments is you can flip the coin, say, well, Texas lost to Oklahoma who might stink now. Alabama's loss was to a really, really good Texas team. A Texas team so good that they might even be better than Alabama. Yeah. The only problem is the Alabama. So right now, Texas is in front of Alabama, I believe.
Starting point is 00:29:48 And yeah, I mean, the Georgia win would maybe push them. What's, what's so funny is I love this time of year because we, we play out all these hypotheticals. It will all get figured out. I think there will be losses that we don't see coming that will happen. It would be like, holy shit. I guess that eliminates that team. It could be, you know, Washington loses then Oregon catches a loss. And Oregon beats Washington in the Pactral Champions, something like that.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Or like you said, Michigan maybe lose to Penn State and all this is like, what are we even talking about? It's funny though, because we go through all these hypotheticals and the thing that I would bet on more than anything is chaos around the country, Alabama beating Georgia and then both of them getting in. Yeah, that's that we spent all season being like, what if the SEC doesn't get anyone in? No, that's what it's like.
Starting point is 00:30:37 No, maybe they get two teams as always. That's what I'm saying. I think that I think we're going to end up with Georgia and Alabama in the final four. I could be wrong. I do think that Michigan is going to smoke Penn State. Sorry,. It's just depends on if there's there's undefeated teams So you can't put a one-loss team over an undefeated team. I just won't happen. I agree. I think that I think Penn State Their defense is really really good, Max. I want to start off by paying you compliment Penn State's defense is as good as probably almost any team that I've seen this year
Starting point is 00:31:03 But their offense is just, it's Jets caliber. Yeah. Um, not, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Daryl, it could be good.
Starting point is 00:31:15 But I will be at Penn State Michigan this weekend. So that's definitely one of those. No, I think that means 100%. Okay. Is that that's a point for why they're going to win? Well, I'm do. Okay. Yeah. I mean, but you've been due for a while. You're like 10 months regular season. You do good there
Starting point is 00:31:30 Which yeah, that's true. Nah college football is different college football is different It's like every game is a playoff game college football Are we gonna miss that next year? No, but the fact that there's a there's gonna be a 12 team playoff And so if you have like a you know, two two losses that would normally completely sink your season, are we going to miss how much each game means? No, because games will still matter a lot when you have buys and home games. Right. And the buys are going to be huge. Think about it. Like a team like LSU with Jane Daniels, who's having a high-spin caliber season, but his defense sucks Could still be playing for a playoffs spot right now even with three losses
Starting point is 00:32:15 So I think it's gonna I know I know that people make the argument like oh it diminishes the regular season We're just gonna shift and the teams eight through 12 when they have one or two losses We're gonna still be playing for a lot like Penn State would still be playing for them to get in the college football playoff. Oklahoma would somehow still be alive on an outside chance. Like all these teams would still have a chance. So I think it will be better. It's going to make Arizona should get it cut talk. Arizona's been awesome. It's going to make it more like a normal sport. Yeah. Like you're allowed to lose a game occasionally. It doesn't mean that you suck. But I still think the importance of like the not catching that second loss will still be very, very important because of buys and home field.
Starting point is 00:32:51 You know, if they figure it out, I can't remember what the setup is. I think it's the first round goes home field. So that will like the difference from one loss and two losses could be a home game first not, which it matters greatly in college football home games. Yeah. So, yeah, I think it will still be fun.
Starting point is 00:33:07 I wish we had a 12 team play off this year because there is a ton of parody. The craziest thing about Alabama, and if you go by this theory, which makes sense, you look at basically Ari Wasserman who works at the athletic, it's a very common sense theory, but he actually put a tag to it a few years ago. And so once you put a good name on it, it basically everyone, it becomes mainstream, the stars matter theory, which makes perfect sense. Uh, having good players matter. And if you look at the recruiting profile of national title teams, uh, it's essentially like you have to be at a certain threshold
Starting point is 00:33:45 to win a national title, you have to have the dudes to win a national title. And the only three teams that are in that like, like upper upper echelon are Ohio State Georgia and Alabama. So you just let Alabama who could very well win a national title with the dudes they have back into the conversation. Dudes matter. Stars matter, dudes matter. I like condition.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I like a huge profile. I like a huge profile. Fight back against toxic femininity out there. Yeah, but that's, it's what, like it's the TCU last year. TCU had an incredible run, but if you look at their recruiting profiles, like there's no chance they can beat Georgia. Yeah, and there was no chance they could be Georgia. They were completely outsized.
Starting point is 00:34:19 They shouldn't have beaten Michigan. Yeah, but the coaching matters too, big cat. Yeah, that's the one thing. Stealing science matters. So let's talk about that. The latest update on Connor Stallions, he quit resigned. Yeah, he resigned. He resigned, ride or die guy.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I think there's never been a guy that I'm more sure that will not snitch than Connor Stallions. Kept his mouth shut. Kept his mouth shut. Now we're in a weird spot where the Big Ten and as a member of the Big Ten, I can say this, are being a bunch of cry babies. So Michigan did cheat.
Starting point is 00:34:56 They probably should get some kind of suspension or something, but this whole like anonymous meetings of all the Big 10 coaches and ADs and being like Jim Harbosh to be disbanded, that's fucking cry, baby shit. You haven't beaten him in two years. Don't put your name on it. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:35:14 Like if you want to say that Jim Harbosh should not be coaching right now, put your name on it. Don't do the anonymous source shit. Say, come out, a coach should come out and say he should not be coaching right now because then I think all coaches are probably scared because then they open up Pandora's Box of water. come out, a coach should come out and say he should not be coaching right now. Because then I think all coaches are probably scared because then they open up Pandora's box of what are they doing in the gray area. So I don't anytime there's like, oh yeah, all the teams met and we don't have
Starting point is 00:35:37 anyone on record, but they all think that Michigan should never play football again. Shut up. And I love all the extra wrinkles that are coming out about how people are speculating that it's Ryan Day's brother, who is a CIA member, who was in charge of the investigation, fourth and one investigations. And apparently whoever is at the name of it, yeah, shut the fuck up. Fourth and one investigation.
Starting point is 00:35:58 I think it's fourth and one private investigation. Is his entire law firm just based around of like drawing those lines on the field to see whether or not Michigan made a first down and that one Thanksgiving day game Yeah, fourth and one investigations and protective agency LLC. I love that so All the conspiracies around that are just so so perfect. They're people saying that There's now been alleged computer crimes committed. Yes So whoever was in charge of the investigation illegally accessed some of Michigan school records, which is, that would be, it would be so perfect if like they committed an actual crime in order
Starting point is 00:36:34 to set up Michigan or uncover a fake crime, a college football crime that Michigan was doing. And then somebody ended up having to go to jail for a federal like data security crime and got Jim Harboff fired, which college football fans are so crazy, they'd probably take that deal. Yeah, I'll do two years. Yeah, send me off to the... Conor Italians would do life in prison
Starting point is 00:36:56 if it meant Michigan won a national title. The problem I have with Conor Italians, and this is where it starts to get fishy for me. He is like a big op-set guy, right? He knows about, you know, espionage, you know, it's about sign stealing covert operations. Why did he put his name on all these transactions? Why did he put his name on the ticket purchases, knowing that he was on record as being on the Michigan staff? Like something something with that is a little bit fishy.
Starting point is 00:37:20 That doesn't add up to me for him. Is he, is he, is it actually Jim Harbaugh and he made up Conor Stallions? Listen, that's the, that's what the, this entire investigation is going to come down to is if they can find proof that Jim Harbaugh knew because that's really all like Michigan is now being like, Hey, yeah, Conor Stallions acted alone. Yeah, that's our, that's our defense. And it is funny because the NCAA changed their bylaws. I can't remember a few years ago where they basically make Every college football team they can like prosecute them under the Rico act where it's like you can't no college football coach Can say well, I didn't know they was like if you if he's employed you knew But that's what they're gonna have to try to prove
Starting point is 00:38:01 Yeah, they're gonna have to sit to prove. Yeah. They're gonna have to show how Jim Harbaugh knew, otherwise, they'll give him a slap on the wrist and Connor Stalin's be gone, and then Michigan be like, well, yeah, we didn't know he acted alone. So if you're the big 10, actually, if you're Michigan, people complain like, oh, Michigan's holding up this entire investigation, what do you expect them to do? Like, do you expect Michigan to be like,
Starting point is 00:38:22 okay, we're gonna come clean, here's everything that we knew and how we knew it. No, you're going to drag your feet because you're going to be competing for a national championship. So you don't want anything to come out in the next couple of weeks. You're not going to be putting off meetings left and right. You're going to be changing calendar invites saying, oh, sorry, I didn't get that. I was on. I thought it was in central time, not Eastern time. There are going to be absolutely holding this investigation up because the big 10, they do have all the power.
Starting point is 00:38:46 So the big 10 could have said, we're going to let the NCAA handle this and we're going to put it in their court, but the big 10 is investigating and they are the ones that could do something about it. If they, if they found something, but also if you're the big 10, you would, and why would you? Because you've got a team of the chance to go to Maddie and then you all get much correct You know what you can't if you're the big the big 10 should be investigated under the Rico Act You can't you can't if you're the big 10
Starting point is 00:39:12 You know be like oh Michigan's not playing the big 10 championship or Michigan doesn't the rest of their season doesn't count You just signed these huge huge TV deals and Michigan is very important to those TV deals So I think they're just going to keep passing the buck being like no NCAA you figure out all right NCAA you take forever. What's going to end up happening is Michigan going to play the whole season nothing's going to happen like a year from now they're going to be like oh Michigan like you can't have like 10 we're taking away 10 recruits. Yeah and then Harboss going to be gone. Yeah and then we'll all be like okay well I guess that's how it settled. I love that Michigan is now becoming big due process guys.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Yeah. Let's wait for due process. We all get due process. Jim Harbaugh is gonna get into like the sovereign citizen movement and be like, this, I don't have to say word, lawyer. Yeah. That's all you're gonna say.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Shut the fuck up Fridays. Lawyer. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, that's all, yeah. Michigan can very easily get away with it this year and then who knows what happens in the future They want to win a national title this year what they can prove But if they win a national champ that's that is I think my dream scenario
Starting point is 00:40:11 Yeah, Michigan wins the national title and then for the next hundred years Yeah, we strip it we we make fun of it and then put Michigan fans like put flags fly forever Put those wins didn't happen. Yeah, it's gonna be great It's gonna be great and then we had we get into like a big court battle over whether or not they're allowed to actually have a national championship banner in their stadium. Yeah, all the like JJ McCarthy's not allowed back on campus. The stats, the other drivers. Yeah, situation.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Yeah, all that stuff. All right, a couple other things we got to touch on. Bedlam was awesome. I'm happy for Oklahoma State, having Oklahoma leave and the rivalry be done. You had to win that last game. The non PI call was hilarious because I have no problem with big 12 officials. We're like, yeah, fuck them. And they, what did they play?
Starting point is 00:40:57 They played some Taylor Swift after I think it was never getting back together. So I'm happy for Oklahoma State. That was great. They are playing good football. They could easily be in the big 12 championship game. So I'm happy for Oklahoma State. Mike Gundy, they you have to win your last game if your rivals leaving you for for greener pastures. I agree. Mike Gundy has a great setup and still water too. Oh, he's he's we're talking about this a couple of weeks ago with Penn State of how if you're not ever really going
Starting point is 00:41:25 to be the point where you're going to win a national championship, like carve yourself out a nice little niche and be happy with it. And Mike Gundy has been a great coach for how when was that I'm 40? I'm a man speech. I was 2007. Like 10, 15 years ago. It was so long ago. And he's he's got seasons where he flashes where you talk about their offense. This year, it's not their offense really. Their defense has been well They're running back all he is I mean, he's one of the best. He missed like the first few games. He's incredible He's he's gotten into a dark horse Heisman which I think the Heisman by the way
Starting point is 00:41:55 Now the J Daniels lost to Alabama and he's been playing phenomenal It shouldn't his defense shouldn't count against them. I think the Heisman is going to just come down to if Oregon and Washington play in the Pactual Championship game, Bonaix or Michael Pennix, who plays better. And it would be so awesome Bonaix won the Heisman after the mean. Like it would just be full circle. Bonaix just, I think it was last week,
Starting point is 00:42:19 hit the most college football games played as a quarterback. He would be great about it. It would be so perfect because we would get two separate bonex for Heisman campaigns in the same year. Yeah. And it feels like we've had those for the past five years. It's for you. It's for you. Now it gets to now it gets to in the last one. But that it does feel like the winner, unless Marvin Harrison Jr. like puts up 300 yards and five touchdowns. My special head. I'm sure I'm sure I'm off. I think that it will come down to those two guys playing head to head and who wins.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Jayden Daniels, by the way, with the LSU loss, I almost want to upgrade LSU in my personal rankings for that loss because they were right in the game when he was playing and he gets knocked out. That's a great trade if you're Alabama and if you're an LSU fan, you're like, hey, you remember Devin White? You remember what happened with that?
Starting point is 00:43:04 Yeah, a little rest-proced year. Yeah. Um, but, uh, the way LSU played before their quarterback got knocked out, like, you could make the argument that they deserve to at least hold firm in the standing. Yes, I'd agree. Um, all right, last two things I had. Uh, Lincoln Riley finally decided that whatever black male Alex Grinch has on him is not worth it. Uh, so he got fired. Yeah, Alex Grinch, one him is not worth it. So he got fired.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Yeah. Alex Grinch, one of the most confusing defensive coordinator jobs. For, it feels like forever we've been talking about him. Um, he finally got fired because that was pathetic. USC and their tackling and just guys and like every single time Michael Pennicks was dropped back. There was a guy wide open. They don't tackle.
Starting point is 00:43:44 They do not tackle kale Williams. People were getting on him for crying. I'm fine with it. Yeah, I'm okay with crying. Cry. Why not? Cry is not bad. Yeah, I'd cry if I had that defense too.
Starting point is 00:43:55 You're allowed to cry two times. You're allowed to cry if you lose a big game because it shows that you are committed to your teammates and you're allowed to cry during the national anthem. Not before the Super Bowl, if you lose. Retroactively. Yes. Retroactively, don't do that.
Starting point is 00:44:09 So, yeah, I was listening to the Andy Staples show earlier this week, and he was talking about how it actually, it would be a good thing for Grinch to get fired. Like it would have been a good thing for Grinch to lose his job in the off season, even, because the way that Lincoln Riley runs their practices, they don't allow tackling. Yeah, maybe once a week they'll do some live drills, but their defense doesn't practice tackling ever.
Starting point is 00:44:33 And if you go to a different program with a different coach that gives a shit about defense, like Georgia, for example, he said, like most, most big programs, they will allow you to tackle in practice. Well, it's, it's a theme that we've seen a lot with air raid offense. The defense is usually struggle because in practice, the air raid offense is just fucking ripping them apart and they never get to practice against like, they never get to actually practice fundamentals. They're just trying to catch up.
Starting point is 00:44:59 You can get all the like $100,000 tackling dummies that you want that have wheels on the bottom and like robot antennas that move around. But you you should actually practice tackling. Yeah. Last thing I had and he is a friend of the show, but people get upset when we don't criticize our friends. I will do it right now. I thought Dion putting Pat Schirmer is the offensive coordinator was a crazy move.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Yeah. And I know Sean Lewis is a friend and he went to Wisconsin, but Sean Lewis was not the problem with Colorado. And it felt like Deon is like trying to press panic buttons left and right. And they kind of did Sean Lewis pretty dirty and patched shoulders of bad coach. And they went into that game against Oregon State. They had three points and 78 yards through three quarters. That offense was not Sean Lewis's foot like the Colorado's problems was not Sean Lewis's foot like the Colorado's problems was not Sean Lewis's fault. It was that bottom line was very deceiving in that game
Starting point is 00:45:51 because Colorado was never in it. No, and they scored at the end. But yeah, that was not Sean Lewis got done dirty. He was not the problem. Their offensive line is not great. Their defense has struggled like Sean Lewis a very low on the list of issues with Colorado. And it felt like Dion just needed someone to blame and that sucks because I don't think that was the right move. I thought that was a shitty move by Dion. Patch-Turmer is the all time people forget
Starting point is 00:46:15 that he was head coach of the New York Giants. Yeah, yeah. And the Browns. And the Browns. Really bad head coach. Very bad head coach. Really bad head coach. Dion's gonna get bigger dudes though.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Once he gets bigger dudes, I think Colorado will be good. I think they'll be, they'll even improve on this season and then some next year. Right? Right now they, like, this, they were a nice story to start the year. Yeah. Cause no one really saw a coming, but they're, they're not built to win this year. I think Shadour should go pro. I think Deon will have problems getting bigger dudes who have to block for his son. It's a weird dynamic. You have to at least admit that it's a weird dynamic for the head coach to openly trash his offensive line who's blocking for his son. He also trashes son though. Yeah, he did. He said we had a lot of problems off into line including the quarterback. Yeah, and I'm still bullish on Dion like long term. I just thought that that one move was a panic move
Starting point is 00:47:07 that made Sean Lewis look bad and look like the failure here when it's way bigger than that. And they probably, the success they had early, however, and talked about them ourselves included, doesn't help with them coming back down to Earth. Yeah, I mean, we just didn't want to get called out by Dion. Right. We were very transparent about that. Right. We picked them to win every game this season.
Starting point is 00:47:27 And I will, I'll tell Deon that I don't think he should have had Pat Schirm or call plays. I'll text him that. Hope he doesn't see it. Did they find the stuff that was stolen at the Rose Bowl? Rose stolen. Oh, yes, they did. They did. They did. Okay, good. They did.
Starting point is 00:47:40 They did. They found it. This is like a, this is a recurring thing for Deon. Yeah, he gets a lot of stuff stolen. Well, he's got swag Maybe change your security. Dion's got sweat. He also all right. Here's one positive for Dion ditch the sunglasses. Yep So he's listening. Yep smart move. Oh Arthur Smith also shaved the mustache smart move it to smart move You got to take you got to you got to minimize the mistakes that you're putting out there with sunglasses and mustache all right. let's do hot seat cool throne.

I wanted to put pen to paper via laptop. So I wanted to put finger to button, finger to button, max. Shout out to max. Couldn't find my laptop, searched all around Sunday, just couldn't find it. I walked around a hundred times, you guys probably saw me just coming in, looking underneath things, trying to find it,
Starting point is 00:49:52 trying to retrace my steps. New I had it here, find my iPhone, had it here. Every time I've left the office, it said, you've left your laptop behind. So I knew it was in the facility, couldn't find it, slept on it, so I'll come back tomorrow, stronger, better, faster, hungrier, find it Monday. Nope. Spent all day Monday. I was losing my mind. 50. Earlier this fall, you said that you're going to be all work. All work. You weren't going to be
Starting point is 00:50:20 golfing, no, something to live, I mean, living at the office. You're gonna be working all the time. I'm in the office. Yep. And you haven't had your laptop for how long? It was the last scene on Thursday. Yeah. So I had calls, I had meetings yesterday that I did at my home because I have a PC there, but I did it. And then I came in.
Starting point is 00:50:40 I thought you were gonna be living at the office though. I had to do these calls. I didn't, I didn't want to do them on my phone. Well your computer was at the office. I couldn had to do these calls. I didn't want to do them on my phone. Well, your computer was at the office. I couldn't find it. I could not find it. So you lost your computer for seven days. No, a couple days.
Starting point is 00:50:51 I lost my computer for a couple days, the weekend, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, as we know. And then it's basically one day. I lost my computer for one day, Monday. And then I came in super early to find it so I could do this presentation. I have a good outline, I have some thoughts, starters, I needed to put it together.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Can I see the outline? No, let's see, we'll see if we're from this side. No, because he doesn't have an outline. I have a Google doc. He does have an outline. I do. So Hank, yeah, I'm disappointed. I'm not mad.
Starting point is 00:51:23 I'm just disappointed. Well, I did have the chance. I could have, I could have, you know, Billy did and just thrown something together. I had about 20 minutes and I could have thrown something together and done a half ass effort, but I have this long I have links. I have work cited. Who farted? I think that was my shoe. I think Hank just farted. No, that was my shoe. Did you hear that, Jake? I did not, but I know we're clear because our mics were off. So it feels good.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Yeah. That was a fart. That was a fart. I was just nervous farting. Yeah. He's a nervous fart. Now Hank, did you do this outline or did you outsource it to somebody else like you did with the original presentation? I mean, I have collaborators,
Starting point is 00:52:03 just deemed colleagues that I work with, just like any good, you know. Oh, also, education, point of order, in your Twitter bio right now, what does it say? Because part of the agreement was you were gonna change it
Starting point is 00:52:17 to acknowledge the King of Hatteras Lighthouse. And I did. No, you didn't, you put Hater Ass. The K-Patteras Lighthouse is a tall, tall slide else in continental US you spelled it hater ass. You are a hater ass How do you spell how to spell Hatteras? There's just one S Yeah, keep it out. It's funny because people thought Hank did that on purpose Yeah, definitely did not 100% He thought Objinn was a word like two years ago. I mean again like why would you? I'm not a female.
Starting point is 00:52:46 I would never go on to the fucking OBGYN. How is that something I would know about? Have you ever seen a vagina? Yeah. Okay, well, you obviously don't know much about them. But when, like, what point in your life do you learn that OBGYN was OBGYN? Like, what?
Starting point is 00:53:00 What was like 10 or 11? Life event, why? Because you just know things, you grow up, and you learn things? When would you have learned that? At what point were, what, what? What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, list. That's gross. Yeah, and like again, I don't know You got down then choose a guy to go to the doctor now No, obviously I heard that word when I was 10 and I found out where you hear it. Why would you hear that? I don't know Because life hats early. I'm gonna I'm gonna step in here that that's early to learn that word you learn life happens Well, I'm learning new things every day and the listeners and you guys will learn a lot on Friday.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Okay, Friday. You're gonna have it. You're gonna get on my laptop, yeah. It was in a desk that I walked by maybe a hundred times. Yeah. Good, hot start, hot start, all right. And then my cool throne is the Cubs. Yeah, that was my cool throne, but go ahead.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Well, I did it first. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of manager, you know, musical chairs going on, I don't really know what's going on. I don't know why Craig Council is like the greatest manager of all time, but meth fans really upset that they didn't sign
Starting point is 00:54:21 Craig Council and then the Cubs did sign Craig Council, which caused the brewers to basically disown him. Oh yeah the brewers owner said we've lost Craig but I've reflected on this. Craig has lost us and lost our community. What's the community? What makes Craig Council this Messiah of a manager? Craig Council is a good manager, very good manager. The brewers don't spend a lot of money
Starting point is 00:54:45 and he's had them competitive every single year. I'm very excited because I'm sad about David Ross. It feels very reminiscent of when Ricky Ranaria got fired for Joe Madden right when the Cubs were like, all right, we're gonna start winning. And I love David Ross and it sucked because obviously he probably found out a different way But I don't think I've ever seen a announcement of a hiring of a manager
Starting point is 00:55:11 When you never got the announcement of a firing of a manager It was literally Jeff pass and was like Craig council's going to the Cubs and then didn't say like David Ross is fired I had to wait till for like an hour and Dan docket's reported breaking news I'm hearing David Ross is fired. I had to wait till for like an hour and Dan Dockich reported breaking news, I'm hearing David Ross is out. My ass. Yeah. So it was a very confusing moment.
Starting point is 00:55:30 That's weird. Yeah, it was like stunning because I don't think, I know David Ross was on a warm seat with how the Cubs finished. Well, they said earlier this season that he was not gonna be fired, right? Right. That was before the collapse.
Starting point is 00:55:41 But here's why I like it. So Craig counts as a very good manager. I also think this is the sign that the Cubs already start spending and start competing for World Series again, because you're not Craig Council. If you're Craig Council, you don't go to the Cubs, you're rival, Craig Council is from Wisconsin, you don't go there unless you have a deal in place
Starting point is 00:56:00 from Jed and Tom Ricketts being like, hey, we're going for this. Like this is the start, and they're also paying them $8 million a year, which is a lot of money. I think it might be the highest paid manager. So, this is good. I feel good. I'm excited.
Starting point is 00:56:13 I'm sad for David Ross, but I'm very excited about the future of the Cubs because it does feel like the sign of, hey, we're now, we're now gonna take this seriously no more like half-ass rebuilding. Like, let's go spend some money. Let's get some really good players. Craig Council is a very good manager. I'm excited Cubs are back Is that basically that's the end of the the World Series team?
Starting point is 00:56:34 Uh, we have a couple left is Hendrick's on the team That's always sad when it's like yeah, the whole team is gone In half I believe was I don't know if he played, he was in the organization. Yeah, I know it's sad, but Hendrix, I love Hendrix, the professor, the professor. Yeah, Hap made his debut the year after. So yeah, it's sad, but yeah, Greg Council
Starting point is 00:56:59 and the Cubs are gonna spend money. Big time, gonna be exciting. So I wanna touch on something we mentioned on Monday's show because we were a week early on Wisconsin deer season in terms of hunting. Found an interesting fact that I did you know that Wisconsin has so many hunters and so many guns that the state of Wisconsin is the eighth largest army
Starting point is 00:57:20 in the world technically. Ooh, I respect that. I respect that a lot. Also the deer's like people who are anti-hunter, if you drive in rural Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and you said, like, hey, no one can kill a deer, the deers would kill all of us on the highway. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:39 There's so many fucking deer. Yeah, and I love it when cars just drive down the road and the deer is just strapped to the home. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It's good food. Yeah, next or this weekend this weekend. Yeah, no next weekend wait I got to pull it up right here. It is next weekend next weekend next weekend because I have friends who are doing it Well, if you're disabled, you're allowed to hunt early. There you go and kids and kids kids can hunt early and you only get I think you only get one is that the rule you get here? Yeah, there's like they they might be more than one
Starting point is 00:58:04 But they definitely you can't just go out and just start like killing like 150 deer. What if they just made it, you can kill a deer any day of the year if you use your bare hands? I like that. I like that a lot. I like that a lot. My hot seat was Tom Iso.
Starting point is 00:58:19 Yeah, Tom Iso's on hot seat as we discussed earlier. My cool throne is Orcas. And Orcas are also back. There's a new pot of Orcas that are attacking off the, I guess it's the straight of Gibraltar. So in between Spain and Morocco, a new pot of Orcas spent like eight hours going after this yacht and sunk the yacht themselves.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Just straight up attacked it. Yeah. Pretty whale guy. No, not Orcas don't. I don't like orcas. Well, yeah, we know your stance on Jim Urse. Orcas are killer. It's not their fault.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Telecom fucked up the whole, you know, the whole squad, but orcas are bad. What about Tokate? Wow. You were heartbroken when Tokate died. Was Tokate the Earth Day one? Yeah. Well, they are, I'm sad that, you know,
Starting point is 00:59:07 the human got involved and basically stressed of will that. But it was an orca, so it really gives a fuck. Yeah, you actually, Tokate dying might have saved some lives because he would have gone out into the water and just started killing people. That's true. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:20 But respect to these orcas that are over in Europe just taken out yachts. I think it was a Polish cruise that it took out. So yeah, they just they repeatedly hit the yachts rudder causing major damage. Any deaths? No, they got all the people off. That's right. You can laugh right before it sank.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Yeah. But that's it's pretty good. I listen, I don't want to fuck with orcas. I want to I want the orcas to know because they probably did you listen to podcasts that I am on their side and I am a friend of the whale. This feels like a Polish show. Polish Navy got taken down by an orc.
Starting point is 00:59:50 The screen door submarines. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Cool. You think? I've had, you know, I am obsessed with the whales.
Starting point is 00:59:59 I think about them often. What about like a show, like if you could translate, you know, because whales speak to each other, yeah, and like a reality show. Oh, oh, like real housewives of the Mediterranean of the the straight of Gibraltar. Yeah, it's kind of like that, that um, prairie dog show or whatever the one in Africa is. Yeah, like imagine, you know, seeing them like plan that and then take it down. It'd be sick. Yeah, It would be sick. Let's do it.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Something to think about. Don't steal my idea. How would you translate what they say? Would you just completely make it up? I'm just gonna say right now, I want it on record. I'm not gonna steal his idea of making a real housewise of Orcas of the straight-up Gibraltar. No, I'm not gonna give you the straight-up Gibraltar.
Starting point is 01:00:42 I might make another reality show off the straight-up Gibraltar. People can, that's the technology. I'm not gonna give you the straightage balter. I might make another reality show off the straightage balter. People can, that's the technology. I don't know if there is a whale tree and slither out there. There's not someone that speaks for a whale. I'm gonna style in this probably good. Yeah, come in of time.
Starting point is 01:00:56 But you can probably put it together with some cables. Stop myself from making a joke. Connor Stallions did steal signs from Bremby law. That's what yeah. Yep. Yep. What is he having common with will? I will when we were at Wisconsin, when we're Madison for Ohio State, they have like a tunnel with all the former coaches. Brett look good back of the day. Yeah. He looked good. He's actually think that he's lost a little. He's still a powerful man. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, I do like your idea though, but we just need to, you could just do it and fake it.
Starting point is 01:01:28 And just pretend that you know what they're saying. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go. How fucking I have to polish. All right, that was your cool throne. That was my cool throne, because again, Tom is on the hot seat.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Yes. And also cool throne letter writing. Jamie also wrote a strongly worded letter to the internet. Should've done that. This is like the fifth strongly worded letter that I've seen float around out there. This is going to be the one that gets it done though, because it's more strongly worded than the ones in the past. So yeah, they're just, they're on a letter writing hot streak down there.
Starting point is 01:01:55 The Ted Kaczynski's of Central Virginia. Yes. Okay, my hot seat is me for two things. One, I'd like to make a correction on Monday. I said, uh, Jedrick Willes is a star, offensive lineman. That is my fault because he was drafted in the top 10. And that's hard to get out of my head. Mm-hmm. So my bad.
Starting point is 01:02:16 That's still, you're still a star. You're still a star. And also his name's cool. I was just like, yeah. He's a lottery pick. Guess what? Depth issues now. Yep.
Starting point is 01:02:24 So he could have been a star depth wise. And then my other hot seat for myself is my parenting. Quick story time. I, on Monday mornings, I take my son to school every day. And on Monday mornings, we have a conversation of whether or not the bears won or lost. And so I was getting sick of telling him, every Monday we get in the car, he's like,
Starting point is 01:02:44 did the bears win or lose. And I got sick of telling him every Monday we get in the car He's like did the Bears winner lose and I got sick of telling them they lost so on Monday morning I explained to him that they lost But they actually kind of won just trying to lose yeah, and because he gets really excited because his his teachers are bears fans So he goes and tells his teacher like when they the two times they've won he's been able to go tell him like the Bears team won Flash forward Monday night, I'm putting it in bed and I was like, what'd you learn in school today? And he was like, the Bears Team lost, but it's, they actually, that's actually good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:14 So I am now raising a loser. It's good parenting. He, the fact that he was able to conceptualize tanking that quickly is not good for the future of our relationship and his sports fandom. But he got it. He got it right away. He repeated it was, you know, 12 hours later and he was like, the bears lost, but it's good.
Starting point is 01:03:33 He's going to watch Trent Tillford explain how you cannot lose and still win. We have very confused. And be like, that guy's full of shit. I realized it last time. I was like, God damn it. I'm raising a loser. Yeah. Like, we've accepted losing in this household.
Starting point is 01:03:44 He gets. We're okay with losing. He's going to learn about the revolutionary war and be like, well, but we've accepted losing in this household. He gets we're okay with loser He's gonna learn about the revolutionary war and be like well at least England got a good draft pick. Yeah, fuck I'm what what was the tank guy? What was your process guy? What's his name? Memes didn't want to click the fucking button there. Oh He doesn't know either. No, he's just Oh, he doesn't know either. No, he just said he got the same hanky. Sam Hanky.
Starting point is 01:04:07 I was thinking Sam Presti, but that's Oklahoma City. So yeah, I'm raising a little Sam Hanky in my house. So hot seat me. I got to reevaluate that. But come back Sam Hanky drafted an MVP also true, true. Maybe and a did he draft the week a player of the week that might have been after Tyres Maxi was probably drafted after He got the picks to get me back fucking with me now
Starting point is 01:04:34 But also Jason Tatum on conference player the week last week Max congrats on the third quarter of the week by Joel and B last night. Yeah, that was an insane quarter That was maybe the quarter of month. Six or six. I'm I'm back in on the six years. Nick nurses a guy. Oh, okay. He is a guy. So this will end well. Oh, uh, make clip that memes. That will be a nice like start to the montage when the sixers lose the Celtics and the playoffs. I do agree though that Max, we should give you some credit here because you do have the same guys as last year, essentially, but you upgraded majorly at the head coach. Like huge, huge upgrade. And in the locker room, Pat, you lost heart and brought in Pat Beth.
Starting point is 01:05:13 Yeah. That's, that's a, that's a locker room upgrade for sure. By the way, speaking of losing all time insults that you should, everyone should be following Jay Kuda online. Jay, why C U D A he He's very very funny. Those great graphics He did a graphic the cities with four plus sports teams and it's their combined overall against 500 since the start of 2022 and There are only two cities that are all red, which means under 500 collectively,
Starting point is 01:05:45 and it is Chicago and Washington DC. Yeah, good for us. Good job. You can't laugh at that. You can't laugh at that. That's our joke. Don't laugh at that. My teams are above 500.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Yeah, we know that's the flyers. That's why you're not allowed to laugh at them. You're not allowed to laugh at them. The only city with all four teams above 500. Colorado. Nope. Texas. Minnesota.
Starting point is 01:06:13 Wow. Minnesota. That's a huge Vikings wild. All good 500. Yeah. You okay? What was that? I thought Colorado was a good guess.
Starting point is 01:06:23 Colorado. Did you forget about the Broncos? The Rockies and you forgot guess. Colorado. Did you forget about the Morocco? The Rockies. And you forgot about the Rockies. You forget about having a fairy bag. That was a good guess. The Rockies was a hope. Half of them.
Starting point is 01:06:31 Yeah. My cool throne is coffee drinkers, because we got new, still blue flavors. Out now, we had some fall flavors. Now we have some Christmas holiday flavors. We have gingerbread and we have butter cookie. Both very, very good. I tested all of them, fine-tuned it.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Go buy it, sell bluecoffee.com, they are delicious. There's nothing better than a nice warm cup of like butter cookie sitting by the fire, sitting by the tree, sitting by wherever maybe outdoors, crackling fire, some gingerbread. So go buy it right now, they are very, very good. And some new mugs in the store as well. Jake finishes off. My hot seat is Jimmy Klossin, former quarterback. Yeah. Cam Newton came out with a story saying that he initially wanted to wear number two. That was his college number. So he asked Jimmy Klossin for it. Jimmy Klossin said, all right,
Starting point is 01:07:22 that'll cost you $1 million. Thought he was kidding. Klossin said, all right, that'll cost you $1 million. Thought he was kidding. Klauson said, all right, I'll do it for a lower tag of $750,000. Cam Newton, hangs up the phone, calls the equipment manager, says he's gonna wear number one, and he told himself, that would be the last time Jimmy Klauson will ever be heard of in Carolina. Mm-hmm. He was correct. Um, I respect that move by Jimmy Klauson because he knew that he was bad and he was gonna lose his job and Jimmy Clauston's I don't know what his career earnings are. I'm looking them up right now He's made five million dollars Couldn't be enough. So that would have been like that would have been he needed that extra million dollars
Starting point is 01:08:01 That's just an insane ask like you I think that if you say 50K, Cam Newton probably pays it. Yeah. Oh, for sure. That's a discount of, you have another 50K. Yeah, because what was Cam Newton signing bonus? It's big, but yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:17 Insane, Jimmy Klauson definitely didn't play that correctly. Insane. My cool throne, plug God, the Barstool Sports invitation. Yes. It is game day if you're listening on Wednesday, huge double header on barstool.tv, returning final four team FAU, hometown team loyal to Chicago and a power conference matchup to tournament teams from last year, Arizona State,

Starting point is 01:10:03 Do you trust Pete? I'm just saying. I think about that. He he didn't have Wi-Fi working in an office that runs the internet for about six years. He was big fired up yesterday. And also what he brought out was this little, I don't even know what it was. It was like a, it was like a laser that like he was like, that's the top of the

Starting point is 01:13:44 Yeah, I know, it's been, yeah. Are people sick of you? I mean, probably. I'm not trying to make it that way. No, I thought. But it all just kind of snowballed into, you know, these are all things. Yeah, besides you guys, it was, you know,
Starting point is 01:13:58 the SNL and Game Day all kind of happened very kind of quickly last minute. Yeah. So it just kind of went with it. It must be very cool, because we're about the same age and I grew up quickly last minute. Yeah. So it just kind of went with it. It must be very cool, because we're about the same age and I grew up watching SNL and it's, you know, iconic obviously.
Starting point is 01:14:10 You saw all the great cast back. Like I think the 80s and the 90s, to like mid 90s of SNL. That was like the peak of the show, in my opinion. Oh yeah. Just like iconic stuff and then you get to host. So what was the process like during the week where you were you involved with the writing,
Starting point is 01:14:24 like how detailed do they let you get behind the scenes or where they're like, hey, here's the idea we have for a script. Here's a role. Yeah, you show up Monday, show up Monday, and then like five o'clock you go in, and then it's, and that's where you meet Lauren, you meet all the writers and all the cast and everybody kind of just pitches, just a real like two, you know they would they would be like Washington Doing the milliliters and our measurements and you know just something kind of quickly and then you go Okay, you just kind of hearing stuff and then the next day that
Starting point is 01:15:01 It's a little bit tighter and you go sit with the writers, you're kind of there, you're more like noon to 10 or 8 or 7 or 9 something like that. On Tuesday and then you meet with each writer and then they kind of go like, all right, we're going down this path with this script. I mean, they really make it around the host. So that was the host, you have a lot more say than you think as a host. And that was something some people told me.
Starting point is 01:15:30 I mean, as much say as I still, you know, you're like, I'm pretty lucky that they're having me on. Yeah. So I'm not trying to, you know, be like, well, I'm gonna do this. Yeah. But you do have a lot of say to go You know, I don't I don't do I don't want to do political. I don't want to dumb not I'm clean
Starting point is 01:15:51 So it's like I didn't want to do dirty stuff and so it was I said that there it's they're just doing pitch and pretty You know the kind of dumb silly sketches that they we ended up having yeah So they everybody kind of pitches a little bit more, because they gotta sit up and write all night. So Tuesday night, I mean, all those, they just, you go home and then they stay up, they might be there till six in the morning. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:15 So I had a question about the clean stuff, because I saw your show on Friday night, absolutely incredible. If you're thinking about going to a comedy show and Nate is in your city, you have to go. It is that good. And I brought my wife and a couple friends and they had never seen you before. And the best way I described it, I was like, he does comedy on expert mode because he doesn't swear and it's not like the raunchy stuff, but it's funnier than everyone else who does that. So,
Starting point is 01:16:42 but it really does feel that way because us being idiots, when we run out of words, we just say fuck. It's a nice question. It's like, oh, I'll just make a dick joke. So was there ever a point in your career where you were like, people tried to push you one way? You're like, no, I'm staying. I'm gonna be me and I'm gonna do it my way.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Because you don't see it very often. And again, you were funnier than pretty much everyone else out there. Uh, well, thank you. And it was just was just you know I'm not from the South Ray you know and you know my dad's here like you remember my dad like I just never wanted them to be in Bears to come to show or something and we just we didn't you didn't curse you with church you did it was just the environment I was born in yeah and I mean when I remember when I moved to New York
Starting point is 01:17:25 and people curse more and then I'd bad go like where I'm my friends parents, you're like, yeah, well, there's families in New York or somewhere where you're like, people just curse and it's not, it doesn't stand out. Right. Where it would have really stood out in my upbringing. Right. And so I just kind of just kind of kept that. But when I first started, you would have to do late. I mean, I would go on at midnight, one in the morning, these shows,
Starting point is 01:17:48 and you know, some of them be uncensored show and they're labeled all this stuff, and I would just do my act. And I would just do it, and just you just kind of, I think you just do it and just hope no one noticed. Right, that was the main thing. You just,
Starting point is 01:18:02 I don't think there's anybody that's in the crowd that's like, I really wish you'd say fuck, man. Yeah, yeah. You were so funny, but if you had like talked about like taking a shit, that would have been awesome. It's people staying up, yeah. Yeah, this too clean. I'm not watching that, I believe.
Starting point is 01:18:15 Like, that's the testament to how funny you are is that you don't even notice it, because you're just finding funny angles on everything, and you're like, man, I wish I could be smarter like Nate and find a way to speak without swearing every other word. It's, you know, it's, I, some comics what I say do, I was like, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta fix it off screen if you have someone ever, because no matter what,
Starting point is 01:18:39 even if you're doing, if you're a comedian, you're all stage presenting an act, it's, it's probably better not to do overly do it. It's, you know, you can do it and then, but don't overly do it, but you gotta just like, not do it in real life. Right. Did I open any doors for you? I mean, it is now completely.
Starting point is 01:18:57 And it, I thought it would quicker earlier and it didn't, it took, you know, I kind of just, it's been a slow kind of like going, it's always moved forward. I could do late night sets, I did a lot more late night sets, and most people I could, I could be asked to do a late night set last minute because they just knew I didn't have anything. I don't ever have to worry about, I mean, when I had a commissential special where you couldn't say stuff,
Starting point is 01:19:24 I mean, I would only, the only commissar special where you couldn't say stuff, I mean, I would only, the only thing they would be that you can't say Walmart, you can't say McDonald's or, or something like that, that would be the only thing I couldn't say. Yeah. I like the idea of like, your big controversy being that someone caught you saying like the F word, being like, oh my God. It'd be a huge, yeah. It just, the disappointment.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Yeah. Oh no. Everything is a lot. Yeah. Yeah just the disappointment. Yeah. Oh, no. Everything is a lot. Yeah, yeah. This guy, did you ever like have a moment of weakness? You know, like, you know what tonight, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go blue. I never had the jokes.
Starting point is 01:19:55 Yeah. So I just never, you know, any sex stuff I never had and it's just, I just never, since I started that way, my brain just never really went that way. And everybody I'm friends with, I mean, I'm not closest friends, or Big J. Ocasin and Lewis, you know, Gomez, J. Gomez,
Starting point is 01:20:16 and a lot of people from this, this comedy were the skank world. And like most of my friends are, there's some of the dirtiest comics you could ever see. And they're, but they're all very funny So it was just I was blended in like when I first got at the commie so it's a comedy club in New York Since I was close with big J. I first got into that club They would always put me on real late at night, and I was like I can tell they like they did not they don't they have not watched my set
Starting point is 01:20:41 Right, they just assume I'm with Jay, they assume I'm dirty, and so then they would throw me up at two in the morning. And I, you know, it's like I would be better at 8 p.m. than two. But it helped me because then you got to make your act work at two in the morning. Yeah. You got to say how, you know, make it seem like it's,
Starting point is 01:21:03 I don't know, it's got, I don't, you know, I'm not gonna say bite to it, but whatever. You just, they just can't be too noticeably. Yeah. Yeah. You know, he talked about your dad and he is here. He just came to the studio a second ago. I saw a clip where he started a fire in your house.
Starting point is 01:21:19 Yeah. What you were going? Not in my house in their house. They're now, they're now in our house. How did, how did that go? He was cooking a brat worse. I was trying to tell the story. I don't know if I want to say this story.
Starting point is 01:21:31 I was saying about him setting on fire, but I think I got another thing. But he cooked a brat worse. The idea, it's a very old man thing to cook. It feels like, I don't, I mean. Yeah, a brat worse. When you cook a brat, when you actively actively are saying I'm going to make a broth You're like I'm just gonna poison myself for dinner. That's fine. Yeah, I don't really have anything to live for right now
Starting point is 01:21:51 Yeah, people you can like brought what you can like them. Yeah, eat them at places, but to cook one alone Yeah, just to sing go out and get one yeah like a single if you're if you're handed one it like a tailgate That's normal. Yeah, yeah, I would even say just like the act of grilling one bratwurst is a very sad. It feels like a death's Romeo. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And then so he left it, he left the stove on and then it just started smoking and kind of caught fire and now they're gonna do stove and then so I mean everybody was fine and but now yeah, the now they're staying with us. Yeah, yeah, he's mean, your dad is very funny. It's, he's, I think you told me on Friday night that he's been, he's done 90 of your shows.
Starting point is 01:22:30 Not in 90 of your shows. Which is so cool. Like the fact that your dad, you know, who was a magician when you were growing up, which I'm sure that would probably give a lot of your material, like how you became a funny person. I'm always interested in how comedians become comedians. Having a dad as a magician, I would imagine had a lot of helping like growing you as a person. Yeah. I don't know if I realized it at the moment,
Starting point is 01:22:53 but it was, yeah, it does it where it's, uh, he's, because he's always done comedy with his magic. So it's always been funny. And so it's like, that stuff has just played into it completely. And it, it did more than I realized, like, as I got older in comedy, it's like that stuff is just played into it completely. And it did more than I realized. Like as I got older in comedy, it's like I could tell, you know, I think my timing is a lot of based off him and all this, all the kind of little stuff you can see that I picked up just throughout the years. Yeah. Was it cool having a dad who's a magician like as a kid or was there a place where it was cool? Then it became not cool, then it became cool again, Tatham. Yeah, probably like that.
Starting point is 01:23:27 I mean, I was just always around it. So it never really, you know, I look at it like my daughter. My daughter does not know a world that I'm not a comedian. Right. And so I don't know a world of my dad's not a magician. Are you, I mean, your kids were not a comedian.
Starting point is 01:23:41 Yeah, no, my three kids I'm worried for the day when they're like, wait, what did you say online for the last 15 years? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they're just gonna, I think it's normal. How are Stern's kids? Where, you know, he's how it's starting. Like, I think they just know it and they can separate it.
Starting point is 01:23:55 You know, they're not as, you know, you're not always maybe as impressed as at the beginning, you know, versus now. It's like, and it's fun to be able to take them out now because we've always known how great he is. And so now a lot of people are getting to see how fun of a show it is. And I'm not have a lot of people there,
Starting point is 01:24:14 like they, I mean, just when my dad comes out, it's just they love it so much that they're not expecting, because I think, you know, they're like, all right, we gotta watch this guy's dad. We don't expect it to be, you know, you're just figuring, like, all right, we gotta watch this guy's dead. We don't expect it to be, you know, you're just figuring, all right, like I'm watching, I'm doing this guy a favor watching his dead.
Starting point is 01:24:30 But then when people are losing it and they're laughing, they're like, oh man, it was so fun. Yeah, that's very cool. So I had a question about your process, is community, I understand, you know, you'll work on material, go up, but when you come up with an idea, like for example, you did this in your SNL monologue, you also have in your set, I'm not
Starting point is 01:24:50 going to burn your set, but just the idea of calling yourself from the 1900s. Like what? Did that just pop in your head because it's something that, you know, we're both born in the 80s or from the 1900s, but when you say it's like, God damn it, that is so funny and I never even thought of that just framing it that way. Yeah, it was, so this hour, I start, some reason I started thinking of like old timey
Starting point is 01:25:17 when I started thinking of this hour and that kind of is the first time I kind of thought of it like that. But it was like, I was kind of thinking of old timey and just like, you know, of it like that, but it was like I was kind of thinking of old timey and and and just like you know How it's gonna how we're in such a futuristic world versus what we grew up with and I had that donkey Which I told on SNL a donkey story at the fair and so I had like this old thing
Starting point is 01:25:38 So it's like trying to be like we're a mix of people that have seen this kind of world that's from the 50s. To now, you got your watch sends you a message and you can call on your watch. And so there's still a lot of us that have to balance both these worlds where we're not gonna learn stuff. And so I was saying it and just probably a month before SNL, I kind of stumbled on to say, I'm from the 1900s.
Starting point is 01:26:07 Because it was when you start the set, it was, I didn't know, I was like, well, what's the, what's the shortest, quickest way to put you in the mindset of what I'm trying to say. Right. And so you just, you just kind of stumble on it. It's true. And then you like, I'm from the 1900s and you go, okay, that sets it up. A lot of it is, you know, you can have a lot of funny jokes, but if I don't give any kind of context or put you in that,
Starting point is 01:26:30 it's like, what's the quickest way I can set you into that mindset? Yeah, get everyone ready and where they're gonna be. Yeah, it's, yeah, I mean, it was very relatable, like I said, we're both 38 years old, so a lot of the stuff that you talk about, it's like, yeah. This is crazy, I'm kind of giving up with new technology. Like I've tried five times to be a TikToker,
Starting point is 01:26:51 and it's failed every time. I just can't do it. With AI, even the people that are making AI are giving testimony in front of Congress, being like, be very careful. We might screw this up, Pat. And it seems like everything that you're coming up with, we all agree, like, hey, please don't do this,
Starting point is 01:27:06 but they're like, just so you know, it's common. It's gonna suck, but it's common. It's like, please stop. Yeah, it's funny to, yeah, because they say, like it is, they're like, well, it's coming. You're like, yeah, are y'all not in charge of like the reason it's coming? Because they're all mind someone's like,
Starting point is 01:27:20 if I don't do it, somebody else could go to, well, no, you just stop doing it. Yeah, let's do the heck of break. doing it. Yeah, let's just take a break. Take a quick break. Let's reassess. Yeah. Maybe this isn't the best thing ever. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:31 Well, I was like, because a thing I was trying to add to it, and I'm still messing with, but I, you know, there's people, someone, you know, there's people being born now that are going to live in the 3000. Right. You're like, well, what is that? Right. That's crazy. Wait, wait, wait, you're going to be on. They're going gonna live in the 3000. Right. You're like, well, what is that? Right. That's crazy. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 01:27:47 You're gonna live in the 20th? 2023? If they lived, if there were 100, it'd be 21. No, they're not. They're not going to go. Dude, you know what's so funny? I'm so dumb. That is, well, we're dumb.
Starting point is 01:28:00 That should be a great tick tock. Yeah, yeah. I've said that on stage, I've been saying that the best tonight, and I was like, that on stage. I've been saying that the best tonight, and I was like, in my head, I was like, this ain't getting what I thought it should be getting. And then, that's, you know what it is though? Because we're of a certain age where we saw the chain.
Starting point is 01:28:17 Yeah. From 19, you know, the 2000s, we're like, holy fuck. We feel like we're in a, yeah, no, that's, I mean, it's 20, like, my kids will live to like 2100. Yeah, that makes, that's not as fun as 3000. I think you should keep doing the 3000. I can't do that, I should. You took me for a second, I was like,
Starting point is 01:28:34 damn, you're right. Modern medicine, you never know. You never know, that's right. You were very nice to help me go. I mean, just keep bouncing around, dude. I like that you did this so because a lot of your set is, you know, self-deprecation about not being the smartest person and that was very authentic. Like you're not putting on.
Starting point is 01:28:50 I'm not, you know. Me neither of we. Yeah. Yeah. I had you had me for a second. Yeah. I was like, yeah, 3000, that's crazy. That is crazy.
Starting point is 01:28:58 And that would be crazy. I said that on stage and it's in my head. It is, it works. just like it was here. And it's front of 4,000 people. I'm like, right everybody. And I'm like, man, it's thing. I ain't get what I think I should be getting out of this. I thought that last night.
Starting point is 01:29:16 They're gonna become like avatars. They're gonna exist online like the Matrix. And then they might live in 3,000. Yeah, we don't know that. We don't know. You said it with confidence. I was like, yeah, wait. Yeah, but wait, no, I'm dumb. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:29 So then you'd start to doubt yourself. Yeah. When it comes to your writing process, are you, are you like hypercritical? Do you micromanage yourself? Do you go back and watch specials and, you know, watch anything that you tape and say, okay, that joke didn't get as big a pop as this one need to retool
Starting point is 01:29:42 that one? Or is it mostly about like what you remember in the flow of your shows in terms of like, okay, I'm gonna keep this part and maybe add something new? It's the flow. I mean, you kind of figured out, like starting in, I started in Chicago, I lived here for two years,
Starting point is 01:29:55 and then New York was where I really, it was eight and a half years there. We would all kind of write on stage and you kind of do it, and you just kind of go, it's a feeling the audience and so I do it like that. I don't really watch the old sets or I should watch more I never really did that but it was but you just kind of go in the moment You just fill it and you go like all right like this is not you know I didn't really feel like that got what I thought it should have got so I either need to present it I mean this morning we were riding over
Starting point is 01:30:25 and I was talking about, cause a lot of new stuff I have in the front of my hour now. And so I was trying to be like, well, I gotta reword. I was like, I think I gotta get into this quicker. Sometimes you can think you need something, this long thing and then it's to set up something and you're like, I just need to get into it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:46 Instead of, the set up is too long and it doesn't really matter and you can feel it. And I can feel it when, because when the jokes are tight and they're ready to go, you just start hitting it. It just starts, the crowd just a lot better. Like, I have a joke about community college and like that's that one I've been doing. I do 10
Starting point is 01:31:07 minutes up top that's still messing around. Then I give this community college that I know no one knows and it just starts hitting. That thing, SNL's, people especially at this crowd have seen that SNL monologue. And that's all my new hour. Yeah. And so when I do those jokes, especially this weekend, it's felt like everybody's like, yeah, yeah, we know this joke. We've heard it. They've just watched it.
Starting point is 01:31:34 We worried about that burning it? I was, but SNL, I understood the opportunity. I was getting that it's like, you can't. I don't have, you know, I don't have the the clout to go like, I'll just mess around. Like I knew when I, an audience of SNL versus the people, even though we're selling, I'm doing arena, you're doing all these big things, but there's a main streamness to SNL.
Starting point is 01:32:00 That there was a lot of people that are gonna see that that don't know who I am So you're you know, it was like a you got to go back to prove like all right I got to really prove that I to these people that you know, I'm worth their 10 minutes to watch his monologue or whatever it is. Yeah, I mean, I also think it was a great appetizer And I am a believer too like a funny comedy special all rewatch I don't care like it's funny. It's funny. It's funny it was a great appetizer. And I am a believer too, like a funny comedy special I'll rewatch. I don't care.
Starting point is 01:32:26 Like it's funny, it's funny. Yeah, I mean, you don't really, I'm gonna have to just keep doing it. I'll be interested in seeing two months, what the crowd feels like if they've kind of like, I can be back doing these jokes. I mean, I'll change up a little bit. I'll, there'll be inklings of it.
Starting point is 01:32:41 I bet some stuff gets a little dropped or here and there, but overall It's like you kind of like yeah, this is part of my hour You're like showing a glimpse of your hour and then being like all right. Here's this hour and then you know It goes back into my act, but this it was very interesting this weekend We're gonna get back to Nate Bargazza in a second. He's brought to you by McDonald's McDonald's just dropped two sauces, sweet and spicy jam and the Mamba sauce. It's super exciting.
Starting point is 01:33:08 Mamba sauce is so good. I love it. I put it on everything. I actually hoarded some of the Mamba sauce, took it home, put it on some eggs, put on some other stuff. The Mamba sauce is great. The sweet and spicy jam goes great with breakfast too. And if you like that spice though,
Starting point is 01:33:22 the Mamba sauce and the sweet and spicy jam, both pack a kick They're available for just a limited time only at participating locations dip the fries in them The fries and the sweet and spicy jam so good put the Mamba sauce on quarter pounder elite What's your favorite order at McDonald's max?

They're only available for limited time. So check them out, get McDonald's sweet and spicy jam and mom will sauce for your next order for a limited time. And now here's more Nate Bargazzi. So everyone should listen to Nate has a podcast called the Nate Land podcast. I was listening to it. And I got a bone to pick with you because you were talking about some of the stuff that didn't make it to SNL. And you were talking about a skit based around people who don't put cases on their phones.
Starting point is 01:34:25 And I really needed to see that, because I've been for 10 years now, a no case guy. I've stood on the table for it. And now I have money, so people are like, oh, you'll just go get a new one, but I wrote a blog literally 11 years ago when I had no money being like the biggest thrill in life is having no case.
Starting point is 01:34:43 And when you drop it being like, well, that's probably gonna be bad. It's the best. It's the best thrill in life is having no case and when you drop it being like well that that's probably gonna be bad It's the best. Yeah, it's the best feeling in the world So it's one of life's greatest like small thrills that you can have where every time I'm holding my phone It's life or death. Yeah, so I got I'm just now this is the first time I ever done no case It goes no case. Yeah, I am yeah, it's the first time I've done it. Doesn't it feel good? Yeah, and it's No case. Yeah, I am. It's the first time I've done it. Doesn't it feel good?
Starting point is 01:35:03 Yeah. And it's, well, it just looks very nice. It's smaller. Yeah. It was meant to be held like Steve Jobs made it. Isn't that what AppleCare is for? Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:15 I have AppleCare. Right, I do too. So I think that's, yeah, I thought that's what it was for. Sometimes though they really get you, because I've broken my phone before and I've been like, but I have AppleCare and they're like, yeah, but you did such a number on it. You're really breathable.
Starting point is 01:35:26 Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, we don't have that one. Because I'll just drop it like getting out of my car onto cement and it will just be such a shatter job. But it's again, it's thrilling. Like I've saved it kicking it before. Like kicking it to myself. Like those are moments that I'll just cherish forever.
Starting point is 01:35:41 I, yeah, the idea that I thought of that, because you know I you can tell them sketch ideas too they wrote that one out and it just wasn't Because sometimes the sketch could be it's it's like the jet joke is funny But I don't know if it can stand on a whole sketch But they did like it and they wrote and they wrote it out But yeah, cuz I just thought of it because I don't have one. And then people really get upset.
Starting point is 01:36:06 Yeah, they do. They think they root for you. Yeah, no, absolutely. And they want you to drop your phone. Yeah, they want to see it. They want to see you in pain. It does look elegant. The phone looks, it's sleek.
Starting point is 01:36:16 It's a beautiful phone. It is a beautiful phone. And I mean, if you see somebody that has a perfectly clean screen with no cracks, you're like, that person's not even fun. Yeah, yeah. If a girl has a cracked cracks, you're like, that person's not even fun. Yeah. If a girl has a cracked iPhone, you're like,
Starting point is 01:36:28 she's troubled what I kind of want. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You see people have phones, but you're like, what were you doing? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:36 What is your life? They're like cutting their finger while they're trying to use it. They won't stop using it. Yeah. They won't go, yeah, you're like, can you not change it out? Just scrolling on Instagram. I respect those people. They live life stop using it. Yeah, they won't go. Yeah, you're like, can you not change it out? Just scrolling on Instagram.
Starting point is 01:36:46 I respect those people. Yeah, they live life on the edges. Yeah, yeah, they don't, they're like, you know, it's people that don't take their phone as serious which is a good thing. Right, right, right, right, exactly. There's another clean comedian out there. I'm not, you probably are aware of him.
Starting point is 01:36:59 He's a little niche, but Dan Nainan, do you know Dan? The clean comedian that lies about his age? May, that may hurt the story of this guy. I don't know. He is, he is one of my favorite people online. He's been saying that he's like 28 years old for the last, I don't know, 15 years. Yeah. And he's very clearly like 55. Yeah. And he won't admit that he's not in his 20s anymore. He's got like a psychological block against it. Yeah, what's his, how do you suppose last thing? In, I think it's in AI, in A.N., naeinin, Dan naeinin.
Starting point is 01:37:30 Yeah, I think I know who that is. That guy is my favorite person. Yeah, because he's, he's, I honestly think that guy was with, I remember him when I started. Yeah, and so, Well, he was, he was 28 then. He's 28 now. Maybe he's 28 then.
Starting point is 01:37:43 Yeah, yeah. I think I remember him when I started. If I'm not, I don't want to say positively, but I feel pretty confident. I remember him, and this is back in message board days and all this, but I remember him being there. And I've done it for 20 years. So I do, I think I remember that name.
Starting point is 01:38:03 20 years is crazy to be doing it. So he was eight. Yeah, he was eight years old. He started, yeah. Yeah, he jokes about dry. He's a prodigy. Yeah. He's, he's before Pete Davis.
Starting point is 01:38:13 Yeah. I remember Pete coming and Pete was 14 or 15 and when we first started seeing Pete come around. Yeah. So, but this guy was, yeah. When did you, when did you start doing comedy? When did you have enough material where you could actually get on stage
Starting point is 01:38:27 and be able to relate to somebody with the jokes? Well, it was 2003. I moved here, I took a comedy class here, Jim Roth, he does a comedy college. And it was, I would say you need a class for, but I just didn't, you don't know what to do. It's like very intimidating to start comedy. You know, you don't know what to do. It's very intimidating to start comedy. You don't know, you just need to be,
Starting point is 01:38:49 you want to be around people that are also starting, and so you at least feel like you can make a friend and all this. And so I started here, and then you start doing, I mean, doing five minutes was like a long, it's like hard to do five minutes. Yeah. And then you just, then I meant to New York and then you're going up every night and you're
Starting point is 01:39:11 doing five minutes, seven minutes, you know, and then you, you just slowly, just over the time, get going. It wasn't till my first TV thing was like 2008, I think, seven, eight. Did you, was it Second City that you started? The class that? A little class at Second City, but this one was just stand up. Okay. But I took about an eight week course at Second City.
Starting point is 01:39:34 The thing I didn't like about improv is with, I knew I wanted to be clean, and with improv, you gotta go with the group, and I knew, you know, it's like, well, you're gonna go down. I was just I didn't like that I wasn't in control of where it was going when the hand you an invisible dildo you get like you're like hello I actually I took a improv class I signed up for an improv class at second city after I started at Barstool
Starting point is 01:39:59 because I was like I'm gonna I want to try to get funnier and I went to one class I paid like 500 bucks and it was all like kids in their early 20s and I they had a bathroom break in an hour hour in and I just left and never came back. Yeah. Because I was like, I can't do this. Like I'm, this is in for me. I'm just going to keep writing blogs and hope it works out. Well, it's like anything.
Starting point is 01:40:20 Just do what you're right. No, I'm doing you will learn within that thing how to do all the other stuff. Yeah. Was there a moment in those 20 years where you thought it wasn't gonna happen? Because it is, I mean, you've been, you've arrived a long time ago. Obviously this last month and a half has been pretty crazy,
Starting point is 01:40:36 which I'm sure it's funny for people to say, like, wow, you're really blown up. It's like, well, I've had some pretty successful specials the last five years. I've been doing pretty good but was there a moment where like this might not work like I just can't break through I don't know if I ever felt I think I remember one time my wife being like well how long would you be doing this you know before like would you do it but I was just like I'll be doing
Starting point is 01:41:00 it forever yeah and then that was the only time we ever talked about it that's a great, awful. Yeah, I mean, it's like you gotta go like, my eyes is all unknown. Yeah. It's all, that's what I tell people, if you do anything, you have to be obsessed with it. And if you're not obsessed with it
Starting point is 01:41:13 and willing to like basically just be like, no, I'll do the, there is no backup plan. You, you really are probably not gonna make it because it's, you just can't have a backup. Yeah. No, that, that's very similar to like this world, not you're more successful than us, but having that moment where like I started blogging.
Starting point is 01:41:29 I mean, you're enormous. But I started blogging and I was like, well, I'll just go back to like corporate America in a couple of years and it doesn't work out. And then getting a couple of years in and being like, no, I think this is my job. But that's what you do. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:42 You go, you know, I know what I can go back to. Right. I can't, like, you know, I'm not, I've, I've talked about now, I was a water meter reader in, in Mount Julia. And I saw I knew I could go back to that. It was a job. The guy I started with, he, he's,
Starting point is 01:41:57 went back and he's working, he still works there. So I knew there was a job. I was like, I knew I had any job, I knew I had a job I could go back to. And so you have that. But then once you in it, I was like, I knew I had any job, I knew I had a job, I could go back to. And so you have that. But then once you end it, I don't know if you ever think, I mean, do you think, like you don't ever think you're not gonna make it.
Starting point is 01:42:12 Right, because we kind of did burn the boats too. We've said so much dumb stuff. Right, yeah. We're virtually unemployable anywhere else in America, except here. Right. So yeah, I could go back to being a dog adoption counselor in Austin at some point. That's probably the only job
Starting point is 01:42:26 I'm still Qualified to do right now, but we've worked ourselves in a situation where like this is our world now. Yeah, I had that moment Where I was like I don't think I could even have a resume anymore. Yeah, what would my resume? What would I what I put down like? For 10 years. Yeah, yeah, you have to yeah, I don't know. I mean, I'm in the same thing where it's, I don't know. It's freeing though. Once you take that step over the line, you're like, this is it.
Starting point is 01:42:51 Well, creating is, you know, I mean, that's what you create. I create, when you create, it's the best because you're in control of it. Yeah. Where you have like this, you know, the strikes are all going on. All these things that you feel bad for actors, I always thought that with acting is like,
Starting point is 01:43:11 you've got to hope they want you. That's not in your hands. So when you're a stand-up or when you're doing this, you create it. It's up to you if you want to do it. And that's a very freeing feeling to have to just go like, I'm not relying on someone else. Yeah. What's your favorite part of the process? Is it when you come up with something that you, you personally enjoy and you're like, you know what? That's a good joke. I'm very
Starting point is 01:43:38 happy with it. Or is it, is it when somebody else like you deliver to an audience and they laugh at it? And you're like, okay, that hit, that landed, that's great. Yeah, a new joke is the best filling in the world. Yeah. When you have something new, I had one little new thing that I added in this weekend on something and it just started hitting so hard and that's because you're, I mean, you haven't told her, you're not tired of it, you're not, you know, because you can get tired sometimes telling some of this stuff because you might, I mean, you're not you know because you can get tired sometimes telling some of this stuff because you might I mean you're telling it hundreds and hundreds of times
Starting point is 01:44:08 To fix it to find it to whatever and so when you get something new, I mean it's man It's just like because you got you know It's like you never know what you're got it when you as a creator you don't it's not like you have a plan There's you only can go out so far. And so when you come up with something new, it's like, well, now I, all right, I bought some time. You feel like you bought time to go like, well now I got this. It's like, still got it.
Starting point is 01:44:33 It's like, I'm a reminder that you're not completely falling off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a cool way to think. A new joke feeling. Yeah, that's got to be right up there. How's your golf game? It's, I mean, I'm in an eight, but that's pretty damn good. Yeah, it's probably even worse now It's I'm I hasn't been great with I haven't been able to play I need to play and I just haven't been able to play
Starting point is 01:44:56 It's just you know, it's such a big time commitment and it's just everything's got busy and so mentally It takes so much to do it So I'll go play when I go home and just play it my course and you know where I can just run around and it's not like a whole pressured. Yeah yeah. You're not playing somewhere that's the nicest place in the world. Yeah. You know you're just like I'll just hit around whatever but hopefully it got COVID. I mean COVID was you know I played every day then. Yeah, with the holes that had to like, cup filler.
Starting point is 01:45:28 Remember those? Yeah, yeah, just walk around outside. How many lives did those save? I don't know. Probably the lives. But I mean, people shot some low scores. Yeah. Because I mean, you just brush that little pool noodle you're like,
Starting point is 01:45:41 Yeah, got it. Got it. I mean, got it. It's going 30 miles an hour. Yeah, COVID was actually a great thing for America. If you if you look at our handicaps our hand against all with yeah, yeah, yeah, now we're all regretting it because now you're down there and you're like man, this is not yeah, yeah, if you're playing if you're playing against someone you're like, damn, I wish I didn't have that COVID
Starting point is 01:46:00 score on there. Yeah, what? So you're from Nashville. Do you root for Vandy? Not Tennessee? Yeah, I'm a big fan. Oh, that's unfortunate. Yeah, it was growing up. We had my mom work to Vandy in the ticket office for a little bit. My I had a cousin that coached there in the 70s. And so we just kind of grew up around Vandy.
Starting point is 01:46:21 And so yeah, I've always been a Vandy fan. I think it's built character in me. Yeah. It adds a lot. I'm a giant. I love Vandy fan. We got baseball now. Baseball is bowling.
Starting point is 01:46:34 Baseball is bowling is they were quite the problem for teams and women's bowling. Women's bowling? Yeah, we're not. You do not want to. Okay. Yeah. I do think that rooting for a bad team does build character though. I think you're definitely right about that.
Starting point is 01:46:46 Wow. We both root for the worst NFL teams. He's a Bears fan, I'm a commanders fan. If we were successful, if we rooted for like the Patriots, then people would absolutely hate our gods. Yeah. Well, that's when you can see, there's a lot of kid, I'm very like the Bron was, he's like a Yankees cowboys.
Starting point is 01:47:04 Cowboys fan. And there's like that age where you're like, I mean, you kid me, dude. I mean, but then you went to play for Cleveland. So you're like, all right, well, he, I mean, he was in it. Yeah. With, but yeah, when they, when they root for all the, you're like, I mean, I mean, I don't know the cowboys are not doing good.
Starting point is 01:47:22 Now, there's probably, there's a whole generation of people who picked up the cowboys and are like, wait, we were, we know the Cowboys are not doing good. Now, there's probably, there's a whole generation of people who picked up the Cowboys and are like, wait, we were, we thought we'd win every year. Yeah, it's been like 25 years for them and won anything. Yeah, yeah, you gotta go through that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:34 It's nice to just be like, oh, Lee, just, you think, I mean, your heart gets broken so much. Yeah. I saw Vandy, we played, I remember like 95 or 6 something, we played LSU, LSU was ranked 7th. We're not ranked. And it's 7 to nothing. And then we score a touchdown with 13 seconds left. So it's 7-6. And so we're going to go for 2 because it doesn't, you know, it doesn't matter. I mean, I was at the game, you're like, this is the greatest thing. We're about to beat. I mean, if we get it, we're going to be delish. You we had all the momentum. We get back to back delay game
Starting point is 01:48:07 pit on it. And then kick like a 90 yard extra point that gets blocked and then lose the game. And it's stuff that you're like, I couldn't have even guessed that that's what was going to happen. Yeah. You thought, all right, worst case, we just don't get it, but we tried back to back delay. And then the next day,, because this one you had to read in the paper about the interviews, next day they ask, there's Woody Woodenhoffer, passed away, but he would, they asked him, they go, what play were you going to do? He goes out the same play. You're like, what are we all talking about over there?
Starting point is 01:48:39 There you go. Because there was no change. There was nothing. But here's the one positive thing about being a vandee fan Is it's every other team in the SEC's nightmare to lose to vandee you have that over them where like you could lose 20 in a row But if you beat him once like LSU Alabama all these teams they would be completely mortified and it would ruin their year Yeah, so you have that like, it's tough. Eternal spoiler.
Starting point is 01:49:05 Well, we beat Color Beat Tennessee for the first time in 27 years. I have the DVD of that game at home. And it's, I mean, that was one of the greatest days. That's what I mean. Like, if you're, you know, like say, you just become a cheese fan now, right? And you've seen them when all these Super Bowls now.
Starting point is 01:49:26 It's like the appreciation of, I mean, we didn't even go to a bowl game that year that we beat Tennessee, but we beat Tennessee. Yeah. And it hurt them so bad. You beat Florida in the swamp too. You beat Florida in the swamp. That was, yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:38 So you, like, when you do this kind of, you do those like, you're, I mean, that is my national championship. Yeah, yeah, right. And so you appreciate it at a level that's, yeah, and it completely ruined. Like there's a Florida fan and a Tennessee fan listening to this right now being like, God damn it.
Starting point is 01:49:53 Cutler did beat us in the swamp. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's still a set about it. It's being from a small town. Yeah, filling where you're like, yeah, I'm not in the big city. I don't know how that is. Yeah. So we don't get talked about much.
Starting point is 01:50:04 I mean, I've been watching ESPNer. If you see, I remember just trying to see if your team would get talked about it. If they were, you know, like if we had a good weekend and then you're like, dude, I mean, they might, like, you know, part of their option might talk about us or some of my talk about it. And then you're, and so then you get to hear people
Starting point is 01:50:21 talk about they and you're, you just are like, I can't believe, you know, because they're not, you know, they're just talking about the main, the biggest markets. We get that on this show where we'll talk about, you know, a cool story or a smaller team and people are like, thank you for talking about this.
Starting point is 01:50:35 Like, thank you for giving us three minutes on this team. Yeah, we don't need much. Right, yeah, right. Just be like, they're good. They're good. Yeah, and you're like, they aren't good. You have to rewind. I make game day, they were not gonna show that Vandy Auburn pick no and they did that just because I was on Yeah, I was start with Vandy all right. What's that like on game day any pressure to get your picks right?
Starting point is 01:50:57 I don't know how to get first. I wanted to again, you're going to such a giant thing and and obviously being from the South, game day is a giant thing for us. And for everybody that's in college football, but game day is such a big thing. And so I went, we like kind of said, I was like, I just wanted to have it, you have like, you know, five, 10 seconds for every pick.
Starting point is 01:51:20 So I was trying to just come up and just have a joke with everything. So just everything I got to, we just went through it and like just be like, just let me have one little quick little joke whether, you know, be the best I joke I could come up with for what it was. So I was, I think I did good. I think Arizona beat UCLA last night. They did. They got that three losses. Yeah. And you also pissed off all of Oklahoma, which is good. Yeah. Because that's like, that's really the key to college football discourse is like, you got to make at least one thing that's hate you so much.
Starting point is 01:51:51 Yeah, I never want to do that. And it was impossible not to. It's impossible. I mean, that was just, that was in the moment. I did not think of that until in the moment. But then I, you know, you're surrounded by all I SEC. I was just trying to make a joke. And that was the only, I just, in the moment, I SEC yeah, I was just trying to make a joke and that was the only I just in the moment I was like I'll just say this and then I just set it and then afterward
Starting point is 01:52:12 Yeah, people college football fans can get very upset You're gonna get it like when Oklahoma hangs 60 on Vandy You're gonna get so many people being like oh yeah Yeah it's so many people being like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I expect it. Yeah, they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. But they're thinking about it. They're waiting for that moment. They're waiting for that moment. That's the best part about college football. Is you say one thing, it could be a throwaway line.
Starting point is 01:52:34 And people will remember it for years and years and years to shove it back in your face. Yeah, what are we playing? Put it in my head. All you have to do is just beat them once. If you beat, if you beat, what is it? Oh, you beat them one time? Oh my god. If they beat, if you beat, what is the home of the one? You beat him one time? Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:52:45 Evandi beat. Oklahoma. Yeah. Yeah. Bim something man. Yeah. That's why I love college football. Though people are so psycho and everyone's psycho.
Starting point is 01:52:56 Like it's not, it's not like, oh, there's a rational fan base out there. No, no, no, everyone has their own quirks. Every fan base is weird in their own special way. And the rational ones are the one that went to that school. Yeah. It's the people that couldn't go. I mean, yeah, you're, I'm sure a banner belt team
Starting point is 01:53:10 that I could never get in that school. Right. And then you become teams of all this stuff that's like Oklahoma, all this, what. Yeah. That's actually insane that you became a banner belt fan without going to banner belts. Like, yeah, you chose this life.
Starting point is 01:53:22 Yeah. I mean, I was, yeah, you just kind of, that's torture. Yeah, you just get into it. Yeah, yeah, a lot of two wins. That's some zero wins. Yeah, it's like a lot of people say, I believe it's gonna win.
Starting point is 01:53:34 To the beginning of the season, you're like, did we might, I mean, this season, yeah, you put up, you played Hawaii and you beat them. We beat them at this season, I thought, I go, we might be undefeated going into Georgia And I don't love and I believed it in my heart And you just because you're that's what I love about that's what love about sports is you have a you just have of this You go I don't know how we're not gonna be
Starting point is 01:54:00 Yeah, no, I mean yeah, I go show me where we're gonna look. Yeah, you're asking your friends. Point at the game at worst were nine wins. Yeah, I go, I go, if you're lucky, I'll give you, I'll give you a way of one loss. I give you, I give you a Georgia might be. Yeah, I'll give you that. That's why August is my favorite month. I wish I could go back there right now because I'm a Bears in Wisconsin Badger. I went to Wisconsin and it's like I, there's many clips of me being like, yeah, I think Bears gonna win 11 games and Wisconsin's like 10 or 11 as well.
Starting point is 01:54:30 And like both are not even cold. But that two weeks preceding football season, we're just walking around and be like, anything can happen. Did you know, so you're a commander's fan. I was a Red Sins fan when I grew up, meaning I had the Titans. Right. Now I'm commander's fan. I was a Reds fan when I grew up, we didn't have the Titans. Right.
Starting point is 01:54:47 Now I'm a Titans fan. But when they were, the Washington football team was the best, that was the best day in the world. And it made me, when that name came out, I go, I feel stupid saying these other names. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I go, why are we, it should be the Tennessee football team and it should be, you know, the, you're like,
Starting point is 01:55:06 oh, the Titans are the dolphins and you're like, this feels stupid thing. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. You're, you're like a, a Philadelphia fan. You root for like a cartoon bird. Yeah. Yeah. Great job. We're a football team. We play football. Yeah. No, this candy ass stuff. Yeah. It made it. I, I like, and it never thought about it until they were the
Starting point is 01:55:24 Washington football team. I was like, well, that's the best name I've ever heard in my life. Yeah. I kind of hope they go back made it. I like and it never thought about it until they were the Washington football team. I was like, well, that's the best name I've ever heard in my life. Yeah, I kind of hope they go back to it. Yeah, I don't think they can stay with the commanders. I think they're going to go back either to the football team. Maybe the hogs, we might be the hogs. Cartoon pig would be kind of fun, but the hogs would be good. But I think the whole league should just go just say this
Starting point is 01:55:41 city you're from. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Miami football team. And you're like, perfect. Yeah, I agree the Miami football team. And you're like perfect. Yeah, I agree. We line up and play football. We line up. Yeah, we don't need these are the grown men. Yeah, because the dolphins, I mean, we have a theory
Starting point is 01:55:53 like the dolphins, very good team. But when you take those jerseys, the Aqua and the orange and all that and you put them in like Buffalo or Pittsburgh in like a December game, You can't win that game. That is you just can't. Like it's just the Jersey. It's a summer. It does.
Starting point is 01:56:09 It's got a summer vibe. Right. It's like you can't play football in those jerseys in January. Yeah, that is interesting. Yeah. Yeah, you need a little more hard. Your colors need to be a little harder. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:56:20 And this is also why I'm a lifelong loser betting. So because I'm betting on football jerseys. Yeah, being a dolphin fan probably is so fun right now. Yeah, well, it can't be any good team. Just lost today. Yeah, it's fun, but you also have to think in the back of your head like we might be frauds. Yeah, which is the worst thing to could have.
Starting point is 01:56:35 You'd much rather be like, I know my team is bad. Yeah. Or I know my team is good, but being the frauds, where it's like, oh, our record is good, but every time we play a good team, we lose. That's the worst feeling in sports. We, I like Mike McDonald's a lot. I met him, Dan Soder, comedian,
Starting point is 01:56:51 is Mike Dan Soder, childhood friends. Yeah, yeah, and so we met him when he was at the Redskins, the commanders of the Washington football team. And so we met him then and he was like, before San Francisco, he's like coming up. And so it's super fun to see. Yeah, he's like, come up. Yeah, where he's at now.
Starting point is 01:57:08 Yeah, yeah. All right, I have one last question. This has been awesome, Nate. We really appreciate you taking the time. Oh, yeah, thanks for having me. Robac question, rhobac.com, promo code, take, roback.com, promo code, take, QZips, polo, hoodies, joggers, shorts,
Starting point is 01:57:21 everything, roback.com, promo code, take. So a little bit of a personal question that I actually, I might be projecting, but how long do you think you can do comedy? Can you do it for the rest of your life? Is it something in your head you're like, I'm going to be 65 doing this? And again, I might be projecting because I ask myself this all the time. Yeah, I mean, I mean, Seinfeld does it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:41 60. True. Good point. Cosby did it for, you know, as he could turn up great he turned up great Yeah, I mean he's aged in stopper And then you know Don Rickles was 90. Yeah, I mean when Don Rickles got up there. It was I think it was pretty tough in the It just they get sold so, they're older. I mean, Steve Martin and Martin Short still go out. There's 78 maybe or I don't know how
Starting point is 01:58:11 old Martin Short but they're that old. So comedy is a great thing that you can. You build your audience and if you keep growing with your audience, I mean, I think you hit an age where you're not getting new fans. But the people that do like you are just kind of keep going with you And you just keep putting stuff out. Yeah, so I do think you can do it for as long as you want to It's tiring to come up with stuff That's I mean you guys will know that creating stuff can be exhausting and you're just kind of non-stop. So It'd be nice to be like, you know, just where you can go. I'll go out when I want to go out.
Starting point is 01:58:47 Signed field right now can just go, you know what, I'm gonna go to Philadelphia. And then he's like, let's go set it up. And are he's coming here? Just gotta go next week with Gaffkin. Right. Him and Gaffkin are doing shows together. And you know, you can mix, you know,
Starting point is 01:58:59 can you do some stuff like that? It's like that's kind of some fun things. I do hope to create stuff that can outlive like where I don't have to go out and do shows. But I think I'll always do shows. I mean, telling a joke, live audience, I was thinking about Saturday Live. Performing in front of live audience,
Starting point is 01:59:18 and Saturday Live, that's it's so much fun. Yeah. And it's just, your timing is good. Everything, like, it's just the greatest thing to go do something live. And so that's the thing that, you know, I think I'm a, would be addicted to, is you wanna get out in front of a crowd
Starting point is 01:59:37 and be like, I wanna make them laugh in the moment and all this kind of stuff. Yeah, you don't really hear about comedians retiring that much. It's like hanging up and saying, you know what, I'm just gonna stop being funny. Yeah, they don't, Bill Ingvaugh think kind of retired recently.
Starting point is 01:59:49 But I mean, he'll still pop up and do some bit of fitcha. You're still gonna get asked to do stuff. So I think you just kind of do it. You know, Foxworthy, I know, goes around. The goal is to hopefully do it how you wanna do it. Where you can go. Yeah, I'm going out, I go out twice a month
Starting point is 02:00:05 or something and then whatever. Instead of now where it's like just like, I look at like going, I'll get to 50 and then I'll be, I'm 44 so I always thought 40 to 50 would be my, you know, it's like that would be a giant run and let me see where I'm at at 50 and, you know, I might be like, well, I'm like, you know what I mean, it's, right now it's like you're,
Starting point is 02:00:24 you're to the moon. Yeah, yeah, well it now I'm like, you know what I mean, it's, yeah. Right now it's like you're, you're to the moon. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's crazy. It's hoping people don't get, I don't wanna be too much around. I try to not, I mean, this is a bit a lot this week, but, does it ever bother you when people say you're the nicest guy in comedy? That would bother me.
Starting point is 02:00:39 No, no, I like it. I mean, I don't, you know. You are like the nice guy, but, you know, nice is sometimes seen as like, oh, he's nice. Yeah. Well, I don't want people to think it's't, you know, you are like the nice guy, but you know, nice is sometimes seen as like, oh, he's nice. Yeah. Well, I don't want to be able to think it's fake, you know, but it's not fit. It's like, I mean, I've like as I was I think people think I'm very driven. I'm very, you know, with comedy, I can take comedy very serious. Uh, I have all of that stuff, but then it's also I just want to be nice. That's really nice to, it's, you know, when you meet people, when you meet, you know, people that come into your shows and stuff like that, I just don't ever think the way
Starting point is 02:01:08 to my world should be on an audience's shoulder. Yeah. And so I try, it's like, don't, I don't want them to ever worry about. I'm there to entertain you, and that relationship should be that. I think it's also just like the idea of a comedian, people can't really be like, hey, he's a really good person because comedians like, he's like, oh, well, they're,
Starting point is 02:01:24 you know, making jokes and everyone's expense in that, but that's obviously not you. Yeah. So I think it's like, hey, he's a really good person. Cause comedians like, he's like, oh, well, they're, you know, making jokes and everyone's expense and that, but that's obviously not you. So I think it's like, that's why I mix fun of myself. Right, yeah. Right. And I'm sorry about my face.
Starting point is 02:01:32 Yeah, and it's, and it's, so I, if I'll just, I never liked making fun of someone, cause I just feel bad. Right. And so then I, now I can just, if I, the way I do my hour now is like, I've, I've stumbled on this, I write it where it feels like, I feel like a movie. Like I'm just, the way I do my hour now is like, I've stumbled on this, I write it where it feels like,
Starting point is 02:01:47 I feel like a movie. Like I'm just, you know, even these are real stories, but it's like I'm a character in a movie, when you're up there, you're like, I'm kinda just reading a movie too. And so I just want you to picture me. Like Adam Sandler movies are, you know, it's him making fun of himself in all these movies.
Starting point is 02:02:01 And it's that kind of feeling where you just want to be like, this is just trying to be fun. I'm in this movie, I'm just kind of this fun dumb guy going through all this kind of stuff. Well, like I said, I saw you on Friday night. I was dying laughing. You're insanely talented. And thank you again for stopping by.
Starting point is 02:02:19 We love you. Yeah, man. Absolutely. Anytime you're in town, maybe hit the golf simulator. I know. Y'all can do this. This is such an unreal space. Yeah, we're very excited. Yeah, I would be I definitely would be excited Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. Well, thanks so much Nate Absolutely, thanks man

Starting point is 02:03:31 Bumpa da bum. Hank, how's your reading voice doing? Great. I was born to read. The triumphant return of guys on checks. Hank was born to read. He's a reader through and through. Henry. Guys on checks. Hi PMT breaking moose.
Starting point is 02:03:51 This comes from Dove Kleinman. He it is. That's my god, please. A rumor. Thank you, Max. Oh no, Robert Kraft could move on from Coach Bill by the way, check if they lose in Germany to the cult's via the Boston Globe. That's interesting. From the report based on my conversation, I don't think it's 100% that Bell Check finishes out the season.
Starting point is 02:04:19 I have the hiccups. Could they leave them in Germany? Dove Climb is on a real person. This report sounds real, and real and via the Boston Globe. Ever heard of it? They didn't stop more. They didn't spotlight Hank. If Belchett comes home from Germany with a two-nate record,
Starting point is 02:04:31 I think there's a chance the crass could make the move in the by-week and install Jared Mayo as the interim coach for the final seven games. Wait, but Big Hat, I have a question. Didn't he just sign an extension this off season? He did. Oh, also in that same report, it says that it was an extension through 2024.
Starting point is 02:04:50 So it's a one year extension. What was the sad noise, Hank? What did you say? What was that noise, Hank? That's our max cut my headphones too. Thoughts, Hank. I didn't max cut my head. People would like to know your thoughts about what?
Starting point is 02:05:02 This report. You want me to read it all again from the start now. Just went in Germany and this is a. This is a must win for Bellagin. I win in every sense of the way every game is a must win. I'm not. He's literally coaching for his job. Yeah. It's a job to coach. It's always coaching. Also, I feel like any time a team is bad and they're playing overseas, the go-to joke
Starting point is 02:05:28 is leave blank in blank. Yeah, leave them on the tarmac. Yeah. Don't bring them home. He'll be like, Bell Check would have fun if he got left in Germany. Yeah, he would. Yeah, like, Bell Check got fired. You go on an awesome bender.
Starting point is 02:05:39 Go hang out with a girlfriend. Yeah, like, he's been fired before with the Browns. This time he's fired and he's got six rings. Who the fuck cares? He's got probably hundreds of millions of dollars. Go and count the defensive coordinator rings like that. He's got eight rings. Well, he, as a head coach, he's got six.
Starting point is 02:06:00 Yeah, but he's got eight. Okay. So you count all those? Okay, that's fine. Absolutely. Okay, so you count all those? Okay, that's fine. Absolutely, bless you. He's a defensive coordinator. It's not like he was like special teams assistant.
Starting point is 02:06:14 Yeah, but I just think it's interesting that he might get fired as head coach and there's two other guys that are sitting in the same room as you that are looking for head coaches. Now wouldn't that be something if one of us got them? Yeah, it would be something. Yeah. It would definitely be something. Which team would you rather he go to? The commanders of the Bears?
Starting point is 02:06:31 Probably the, I don't know. I mean, at least the commanders have a new owner and they might turn things around. The Bears are currently a dumpster fire with no turnaround in sight. The oldest owner. So at least the commanders, like they are a horrible franchise with just a history of losing over and over and over again and, you know, breaking players, losing good players, losing
Starting point is 02:06:52 all their good coaches. But that was kind of the older team and maybe the newer team can be a little better. So I want to hear about. So I don't care. I would take Bella check. I just want to say that for the record, I think Bill Bella check is a good head coach and I would like to see him coaching my team. Especially if it's instead of Hank's team.
Starting point is 02:07:11 I think I want Harbond Chicago more than anything I've ever wanted in my life. Mellow? I did want Mellow very badly. Yeah. Didn't go. Hey, PMT. Hey, hey, my boyfriend has lost so much lately that not even my roommate wants to sleep off.
Starting point is 02:07:29 Now he's gonna go sleep with the dude. What can I do to make him feel better? He says he just wants to fuck his up. What the fuck is this? But I heard from one of his coworkers that he's having trouble hitting a button three times a week. Oh, man.
Starting point is 02:07:41 Oh, this is so fucking funny. My girlfriend's roommate. I hadn't read this. I can't remember my roommate's got it now. Boyfriend this is so fucking funny. My girlfriend's roommate. I hadn't read this. I get it now. I get it now. Boyfriend, that was the question. Read this start. My boyfriend has lost so much lately that not even my roommate wants to. Oh, that's such a great setup.
Starting point is 02:07:55 This is. That might not be about Max though. Yeah, that could be about anyone. So let's let's say answer this. All right. This guy sounds like he might be going on a diet. So that's good. Maybe he'll get his libido back. I think what he needs to do, turning around is he, first of all, he needs to dedicate himself to his job. If you can find success
Starting point is 02:08:15 professionally, then you feel better about yourself. So if you get really into doing your job well all the time, that would be good idea. Yeah. Second, you know, we can learn from Arthur Smith, a little bit, change up the facial hair. Maybe take the beard off, and I'm just assuming this guy has a beard if you're sad, and if you're losing, you grow a beard, it's your sadness. Somebody lose face. I cut my hair.
Starting point is 02:08:33 I'm afraid. Whoa, what do you mean you? This isn't about you. I cut my hair. I was just letting you guys know. You are a narcissist. Are you saying, letting me know? Are you so sad that you won't even sleep
Starting point is 02:08:44 with your girlfriend's roommate? I do even sleep with your girlfriend's roommate? I do not sleep with my girlfriend. You did what is you slept with her. You did what I fell asleep You literally slept with it. What happens after you fall asleep? What are you doing? Where where did you fall asleep? Where would you wake up? Did you or did you not sleep together? This was so long ago. Like why, this should be still talked about. I've realized, Hank's kinda like Ron Burgundy on the teleprompter,
Starting point is 02:09:13 whatever he does. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you could do anything. Yeah, fact. See, that's how creative a reader he is. It's born to read. My boyfriend is a big soup guy and loves to make, he's been exploring new recipes of different soups
Starting point is 02:09:24 that he finds on TikTok and our good amount and some are good and some aren't so good. Chicken noodle is his best soup. For the read that he makes, that was worded incorrectly. Chicken noodle is his best soup that he makes but also makes it at least three times a month. How do I go about telling him that some of the new soup recipes are not good
Starting point is 02:09:43 and telling him that he makes chicken noodle soup too often? Sounds like a soup hater. Yeah, this is a hater for sure. Like, he's experimenting. Your complaint is that your boyfriend switches up the soups too much. Like, that's a good thing. But then also at the same time, you're like, he makes the same soup all the time.
Starting point is 02:09:57 I don't understand that. Like, first of all, if he has a good Supressie that he makes, three times a month isn't that much. It's really not. And Sup is like, if you want a meal, you can get a meal. Soup is just great to have whenever you need it.
Starting point is 02:10:09 And a little soup pack here from a broth heads out there. If you make a good chicken noodle soup, you can switch up a little bit. A chicken noodle soup can turn into an Avgolomono Greek soup. It's a Greek chicken soup, which is my favorite soup in the world. It can also turn into a chicken tortilla soup. If you add in, you know, like some peppers, some corn, some tortilla strips. So you can make variations off the chicken
Starting point is 02:10:30 noodle soup. But yeah, this sounds like you don't know what you want. Also sounds like you just need more crackers. I'm a big crackers guy in my soup. Any type of soup. Just more crackers, spice it up. Hey boys. Hey. My boyfriend and I have lived together for over a year now and have been talking for years. He's always been into sports, but after moving in together, I've come to know what that truly means. When can I expect to have my boyfriend back?
Starting point is 02:10:55 He likes the Steelers, Penguins, and Michigan football. Oh, honey. He's got a lot going on. I mean, if you didn't know this obsession before he moved in. Also, the answer is May, June, July. Yeah, it sounds like a Pittsburgh fit. The good news is because he's a Pittsburgh fan, he probably doesn't watch any basketball or baseball.
Starting point is 02:11:17 Yeah. So you're good. You get, you get almost a third of the year with your boyfriend. Yeah. Don't, don't push it. Every guy's sports addiction is like any other addiction. They let you know they dabble in it,
Starting point is 02:11:31 but they hide from you how truly, like the links that it goes to. So when you see it in your face, you're like, wow, that's way more sports than I thought you did. You do a lot of sports. You do a lot of sports. I could quit anytime, but I just, I love doing it. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:11:44 All right, last one. Hey, father of three, best college team in the nation, PFT. Loser Hark. Which part could you specify which sport? Loser Max, she did not. Could be three. And very cool Jake. My fiance has really bad gas.
Starting point is 02:12:00 He rips a loud one right when we wake up as we're laying in bed at night, during dinner, literally all the time That sounds normal actually. That's not it during dinner's a little much He refuses to go see the doctor receive you as a problem and says it's just who I am I fart a lot and they smell that's part of being a man Yes, do all men fart all the time what's an acceptable amount of farts in a day? You know what I've never kept track of how often I fart.
Starting point is 02:12:25 I would say. It's a game of runs. Sometimes it's really bad. It's really bad today. Sometimes you don't fart at all. Well, yeah, it's diet. So if you want to just start feeding them better food, you probably won't fart as much.
Starting point is 02:12:36 I've actually noticed the opposite. If I had healthy, I have worse farts. Salads are the worst farts. I was so excited to chime in. Eating healthy makes you fart more, and that's just a fact. I don't know about that. It might be because your body's so confused.
Starting point is 02:12:50 Is this a vegetable? What is a vegetable? But if you just eat protein, if you go caveman diet, I don't think caveman would probably be fine. Yeah, caveman diet. I would just love to see that guy actually go to the doctor, and he makes an appointment to doctor.
Starting point is 02:13:03 He's like, what's the problem? He's like, I fart. He's like, what's the problem? He's like, I fart. He's like, pull my finger. Yeah, the doctor, they just start farting in the room together having a great time. I would say baby steps, dinner is an appropriate time to say please don't fart. Every other time, just let him be.
Starting point is 02:13:18 And as we always say with guys on chicks, if you just start farting, he might stop. You know, like if you just start farting, he might stop. You know, like if, if you just start farting in his face and you're like, that's what I do. I fart. He's like, oh, all of a sudden, Farts aren't that funny. Fight fire with fire. If you fart exactly as often as he does, he will stop.
Starting point is 02:13:38 I guarantee you, if you fart as much as him and then you're like, Hey, let's make a pact to stop farting, he will stop. Also just slip him some Bino. Is that work? Yeah. I gotta get on some Bino. I gotta start doing lines of Bino. Bino does work.
Starting point is 02:13:54 Okay. Good show everyone. Everyone go, if you're in Chicago, come to the Barstle Invitational. If you're not, Barstle.TV. Good reading. Six PM Central is the first game tipping 545 I think is the anthem it's also on the Barstle sports YouTube. Oh
