On today's pardon my take, we have football.
You know it.
It's Monday.
We have a full recap of week 11.
I'm mad about the Bears.
We have Lamar Jackson being the front runner for the MVP.
We have the Patriots winning the rematch of the Super Bowl.
The rubber match of the Super Bowl, a lot of football to get to.
Football guy of the week, a Monday reading, who's back, a packed Monday show for you.

They will hook up some of you that got screwed this weekend.
Today is Monday, November 18th, Week 11.
We starred in Baltimore as Jackson was remarkable, facing off against his contemporary Dishon
of the Dead Watson who looked like a zombie all Sunday afternoon.
Daisy Duke Johnson got cut off and showed his ass as the Texans offense couldn't get
moving.
On the other side, the Ravens rode the Gus bus for 112 yards in a score and Deandre
the Giant Hopkins came up small as the Texans scored 7 points or the amount of beers one
would drink in a 20 minute cab ride.
Purple gift boom, Deandre the Giant, no, no, no, please stop, no, no, no, no, not another
quarterback, no, no, no, Ravens 41, Texans 7, and Charlotte where quarterback Ryan played
his first game of the season on matril surface.
Kyle Woody Allen acted inappropriately and put out a film that's only funny because it's
so uncomfortable.
Kenyan Barracco Barnard reached across the aisle and took it all the way to the house
as the Panthers often stall and crash faster than HealthCare.gov, as my good friend Charlie
Sheen would say, Quinning, damn that is, as the Falcons coach earns himself talk of an
extension.
Falcons 29, the Panther 3, in Ralph John where the Redskins who had gone 3.5 scare moochies
without scoring a touchdown matched up against the Red Hot Jets, Sam Donald Palmer said when
Lifehands you lemons, turn it into half lemonade, half iced tea and tell everyone we're gonna
run the damn table.
Darius Red Beans and Geist Zaddo ran into the end zone, but it wasn't enough for the
hapless Redskins as Sam Donald Swansonaga, team coming and coming and coming and coming
and Dwayne Haskins-Robbins was feeling 31 flavors of pressure with 6 sacks and 10 QB
hits.
Don't look now, but the Jets are on a winning streak, 34-17.
What?
Some spread.
In Minnesota where Kirk Cousins completes a historic 20-point combat, you fight that.
Dolvin Cookie Monster got the 4th quarter going by saying, Mr. Touchdown, we want comeback
and Kyle Mason Rudolph avoided getting smashed on the head as he had to go ahead score.
After the Broncos 4th loss of the season where they lead in the 4th quarter, Vic Fangiolino
Jolie said, this is the pits, Vikings 27, Broncos 24.
A word of warning, some of the pictures in this story might be tough to look at.
Police are offering up to $38,000 as a reward for help in finding the person responsible
for stabbing a dolphin to death.
No one circles the wagons like a buffalo bills.
Bills 37, 23, 4, 3.
You absolutely right, boom.
In Detroit where the Lions and Cowboys met and a cat moves and as so often happens in
these movies, as seen on Disney Plus available now on Smart TVs nationwide, a lion named
Scar Pearl looked like he was going to be king for a day.
Tony Pollard greens and Randall Corn on the cob were quality side dishes to the main course
and extra large serving of baby duck ribs.
Who's the best QB in the NFC?
Maybe duck, maybe duck, maybe duck, maybe duck and much like the Wildebeest who killed
Mufasa.
Too soon, boom.
Streaming now on Disney Plus, did I mention Disney Plus?
The Cowboys have Michael Gallop their way back into the lead in the NFC's Cowboys 35,
the Lions, 27.
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
Standing on a corner, James Swinton Tampa, Florida, such a fine sight to see.
It's an ugly scoreboard, 17 to 34, the bucks have a blind QB.
What are these passes?
You need some glasses?
The Saints go marching through breeze, just kick their asses.
Saints 34, I didn't write down all the scores, it's San Francisco, where Christian Kirk
Harb Street and the Cardinals offense weren't flying high on their private jet Sunday.
The Niners were without the Pro Bowl tight end Greg Kittle for the second straight game
as they're practicing Jimmy Garoppoload management.
But in his absence, the Niners were able to slide a couple of balls into their back
up very tight end Ross K.Y.
Dwelly.
I love the his and hers, boom.
Pray for anyone who had the Cardinals plus 10 as the last play, had a whoop, and a whoop,
and a whoop, and a whoop, and a fumble.
Cardinals fans, don't worry, be happy, don't worry, be happy now.
Your future is in good hands with Kyler Murray, even if your fuckboy coach can't win a game.
49ers 36, Cardinals 26, whoop, fumble.
We finish in Philadelphia, where an old wily vet from the Bay Area throws his first touchdown
pass in the regular season.
That's right, Julian Edelman made the Eagles defense look like they had popcorn lung with
his third quarter touchdown pass.
Benjamin Button Watson looks younger the older he gets.
And speaking of old young guys, Tom Brady still out there doing it.
I remember a young swam and even younger Tom about to catch.
Yeah, folks, I was there, look at all that hair, ultimately the game went through Nelson
Monts Aguilar's hands, and the Eagles fall in the rematch of that Super Bowl, 52-17-10.
There it is, week 11 in the books.
Okay, what are we going to talk about today, big cat?
We do always talk about the Sunday night game first.
I think there are a lot of people out there waiting to hear us talk about the Jets Redskins.
I am.
Saga Soros?
Oh, Saga Soros.
So fucking done with Matt Nagy as a football coach.
Matt Nagy has done the impossible.
He has made Mitch Tabrisky a sympathetic figure, and that happened in LA on Sunday night.
I would say the impossible would be winning a game with Mitch Tabrisky.
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
Don't do that.
Don't be overly mean.
Remember, he's a sympathetic figure.
The bare season is over.
I feel like a fool for ever thinking they had it in them to win this game, even though
the whole game was winnable until the last three minutes.
The Bears were like, you know, one big play and there was a fumble that could have picked
up.
There was a pick six that was right there.
There were so many chances for the Bears to like basically what was it, snatched victory
from the jaws of defeat or whatever the fuck the saying is.
But Matt Nagy, you idiot, you're a coward.
He throws Mitch Tabrisky under the bus with a phantom hip injury with the last possession
of the game, bringing in Chase Daniel, and it is a joke.
He's in over his head.
He's a clown.
He's been a clown since he did the 43 yard kicking competition in the spring.
Basically using the moment that was a horrendous moment with the double doink and making sure
that the team thought about it every single day.
His play calling is a joke, and now he has done the last thing.
It is the death spiral.
I mentioned it on Twitter, but Mark Trussman did the exact same thing when he was in his
death spiral.
He benched Jay Cutler for Matt Barkley to basically try to say it's not me.
It's the quarterback.
And that is what Matt Nagy did tonight.
And now he looks even worse because he did it in a game that Mitch wasn't even the like
the biggest problem.
Like it was, he's played worse.
He was not good.
And I, I, I am fully admit that Mitch is not the guy.
So I'm not going to sit here and be like, Oh, Mitch has it somewhere in him.
He doesn't, but he, this was not the game to bench him.
Like there were other games that he's been way worse.
This was the game where, you know what?
Guess what?
Mitch didn't call a fucking option play to the short yard or short side of the field
with your banged up running back on third and one.
You did Matt Nagy.
You did.
No, it was a bitch move.
It was a bitch move by Matt Nagy to do that at the end of the game.
If it was, it was a two possession game.
Yeah.
So it was actually credit to Matt Nagy for learning from last Thursday night's game.
He didn't want to keep his starting quarterback in and a two score game and have him get hit
over the head with a helmet.
That's it.
So he's, he's learned from the mistakes that the Steelers made, but yeah, it was a bitch
move, keeping them in there.
It was a, excuse me, it was a bitch move, taking him out there and putting Chase Daniel in
to get the world's saddest spark.
It's, they were saying, they were like, I want a spark, then put literally anyone except
for Chase Daniel.
It's, it's also a spark list this quarterback in the history of the NFL.
The game is over.
You are basically embarrassing Mitch Trubisky, who again, he's not the guy.
No one is saying that everyone is, everyone is watching this and we all know that like
something's going to have to change and the bears are going to have to bring in quarterbacks.
But to embarrass him in a game that's basically lost and put in Chase Daniel, who is not,
listen, I know there's some people who are like, Chase Daniel is better than Mitch Trubisky.
Guess what?
He's not, he's fine backup.
He's a perfect backup.
I'm sure Chase Daniel, you know, marks every single box when it comes to a backup.
He's a great locker room guy.
He's a great teammate.
He's a great guy in the film room.
He can probably get you one or two wins here and there.
It's just, you, you, you, if you bench Mitch Trubisky there, it better be for the future.
You can't.
And that's not what happened.
Chase Daniel is not the future.
So you just did it so that you can push the blame off and have everyone think that it's
not your fault and the whole genius visor thing is not so funny anymore.
And I'm just so sick of it.
And I think he's in way over his head and he's dealt with the media poorly all year
and it's just a joke.
The whole thing is a joke.
Bear season's officially done.
The thing is a joke.
And Cleo Mack, whenever you want to show up, that's fine too.
You don't bench a quarterback at that point though.
You don't, you just don't do it.
Like there's no, like you said, there's no greater purpose that it's going to serve.
You're not going to build on anything by bringing Chase in your, it's like breaking
up with somebody on a plane at that point.
You should wait until the plane lands.
Yes.
Because otherwise.
It was amazing.
Yeah.
The defense was pretty good.
Every single night though, they do.
They keep them in the game.
I know they keep them in the game.
And then they run out of gas.
That was probably an unfair shot at Cleo Mack.
I'm just frustrated because when a Keem Hicks gets hurt, everyone looks worse and Cleo
Mack doesn't have the numbers and they got all the, now the new, the new hotness, you
know, like the, the, the verbal meme, looking at the, the new girl, the old girl is Deshaun
Watson and Patrick Mahomes were drafted after Miss Trubisky.
The new one is this kid, Max Crosby, who's from Eastern Michigan, who has more sacks
for the Raiders than Cleo Mack does this year.
Okay.
$30,000 on the year.
So that was a mistake.
That's a new one.
So John Gris was actually smart to get rid of this best player.
That's the new hotness that I get to deal with every day.
That's just people looking for like an opportunity to rub salt on the wood.
No, it's, Cleo Mack has not been the same guys last year, but also it's one of those
weird things where you never know like how much he's impacting a game even without getting
sacked.
Right.
The embrace at the end of the game was not, not great either, where it looks like they
were both crying and hugging each other.
No, he was whispering.
He's like, Hey man.
Matt Nagy was covering up his, his mouth and his tears using the play card.
Yeah.
It says BU.
Yeah.
Inside and Matt Nagy is whispering to Mitch and saying, Hey man, just so you know, I had
to bench you to try to keep my job.
We're going to say it was a hip injury.
So if you could just do me a solid and walk off the field with a little bit of a limp,
which he did, that would be awesome because I'm going to go to the press conference later
and just say that you were hurt and we didn't want to get you further hurt and you're still
our quarterback.
Okay.
Sounds good.
So you're comparing that embrace to other movies and TV shows too.
Like Hank compared it to Daenerys and John Snow.
That was sick too.
That was a good one.
That was a sick reference.
You could do it for the Godfather.
I know it was you.
Yeah, Fredo.
You could do it for of mice and men when Lenny and George and he shoots them in the head
at the end of it.
He squeezes them.
Old Yeller.
It's probably old Yeller.
More old Yeller.
Just like take him out back and shoot him.
It could be, it could be entourage.
Hug it out.
Hug it out, bitch.
Hug it out, bitch.
That's what we do.
Oh, it could be Titanic when Rose is on.
So Matt Nagy is Rose and she's on the on the door and there's definitely room for Mitch
to get on there.
But he's like, no, just stay in the water.
Just stay in the water.
Wait, that would mean Matt Nagy is the coach of the Bears for like 80 more years.
Yeah.
So he'll be around and then he'll get really old and then he'll throw his play card into
the bottom of the Atlantic.
He'll throw his Super Bowl ring that he wins next.
He would chase Daniel.
Man, I'm so sick of this shit.
So my question is, what does Matt Nagy do well?
Because we've established that he doesn't call plays well.
We've established that he doesn't handle the media well, dude.
When he, well, he does the, uh, he has the BU card.
He has the, the, the visor and then the shiny head NBC did the, um, which was just salt
in the wound.
They're like, look at all these fun plays he ran.
Dude, he had an unbelievable, the best defense in the league last year.
Yeah.
And, and he was hired to be an offensive guy and it's just, we're going to get to other
games where I'll blame guys who don't do well on their side of the ball.
So it's only fair of me to say Matt Nagy, it's your offense, dude.
It's your offense.
You know what the funnest play call they had tonight was, was when they ran, no, well,
yes, they ran, they ran a fake, like they were going to run a play on fourth down and
then they substituted the pump team out and said in the middle of the play, that was the
funnest thing.
When you, when the most creative your offense gets is running a fake, fake punt, you've
got some problems.
You know what?
I just realized the only thing that will save Matt Nagy, actually, no, this won't save
him, but this is probably what he was thinking.
He probably did this at the end of the game so that no one would talk about the fact that
Eddie Paniero is a joke because Matt Nagy cares way too much about his kicker psyche
so much that it actually like damages the kicker psyche.
But Eddie Paniero, you're a joke too.
And Matt Nagy said he's not going to bring in a new kicker because I mean, why would
you, right?
He believes in his guy.
Yeah, why would you?
The guy can't fucking hit.
So in a game that could have been one, if they fucking hit kick, I'm just trying to remember
what happened exactly because he missed the 47 yard left and then right on the, but no,
but wait on their next drive, they decided to go for on fourth and nine instead of kicking
another 48 yard and then on the next drive, yeah, they tried a 47 yard and they missed
that.
So he essentially iced his own kicker for an entire drive.
Correct.
Okay.
It's the same thing.
He did match.
He's like, I don't have confidence in you.
We're going for it on fourth and nine with the offense that I don't have confidence in.
And then the next time around, Oh, actually, I'm going to bring the guy who I just shattered
his confidence back on the field to kick.
Yeah.
And neither offense look good tonight either.
The Rams didn't look great for the, for the start of the game, it was just like punt,
punt, fumble, punt, punt, punt, punt, miss field goal, punt.
It was like your two biggest hate follows on Instagram quote tweeting or quote Instagram
storing each other's stories that they're each tagged in.
Have you ever seen that where it becomes like a mirror inside of a mirror of the two worst
people that you follow?
I can't say I do.
Yeah, it's bad.
Have you dealt?
Did you do?
I've seen that a few times.
Yeah.
It was a bad, I mean, it was exactly kind of how I thought it was going to go.
I thought it was going to be an under where it was just shit, just garbage.
Both offensive lines kind of stink.
Both defense are good.
Let's finish here.
The bear season is officially over.
The Thanksgiving game is going to be the saddest game ever in Detroit.
Jeff Driscoll versus Chase Daniel, possibly sorry in advance to America that you have to
actually like because the Thanksgiving game is football and Thanksgiving is supposed to
give you something to talk about so you don't have to talk to your family.
When Chase Daniel and Jeff Driscoll face off in Detroit, you're going to just have to talk
about like whether you're going to get pregnant in the next year or whether you're thinking
about going back to law school or solid nose.
Yeah.
Right.
Or, oh, that girl that you've been bringing around.
Why haven't you popped the question?
All those things are going to be on the table when Jeff Driscoll and Chase Daniel face off.
So I kind of disagree with you on that one because to me, when I think Thanksgiving football,
I think just disaster Lions teams.
That is like a nice familiar bit of nostalgia for me is like parking my ass on the couch
and watching the Lions score six points.
That's Thanksgiving.
But here's the thing, when you when you're watching Thanksgiving football and family
members come around, they if they can sense it's actually a meaningful game, they kind
of leave you alone or they'll try to get in on the game.
And they can see that it's just garbage.
That's when it's like, okay, well, there's no point for you to be watching this.
That's kind of talk to me.
So as an NFC North person, you probably kind of dealt with that more than I did.
What I, in my mind, the Lions game is background noise while I'm frying the turkey, while I'm
like helping with the mashed potatoes, whatever.
It's nice to have football on in the background, watch the fact guy in the pilgrim suit fall
asleep Detroit.
Yeah.
So I know that it's about time for me to start focusing on football once they bring out the
interducing.
Yeah.
Once that makes its appearance and then I'm like, yeah, now I got to turn the volume up.
All right.
So we'll finish here.
The bear season is completely done.
They need a new quarterback and I think they need a new coach and the whole thing has become
a complete disaster.
Basically the worst possible scenario, but in a weird way, ultimately the most bears
thing possible, because if you look at the bears history, it is marked by, by little
blips of success followed by back down to the toilet.
Like that's what the Chicago Bears are.
So I'm not surprised even though it sucks and I can't believe this team has bought them
out so fast, but I'm not surprised.
Jeff Fisher.
What?
Why not?
Yeah.
Why not?
It's going to be a coach at Vanderbilt.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Oh, that's breaking moves.
Well, we're going to start that.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
So we'll consider it started right now.
Urban.
Would you take Urban?
Urban Meyer.
No, I have morals.
Oh, yeah.
How much do you think Ryan Pace was when he was up in that glass cage of emotion at the
end of the game and he was just like staring down?
He kind of looks like Mitch, too.
I mean, right?
Every time I see him, I think that it's like Mitch's uncle, and he drives the Camry, 1997.
I mean, Ryan Pace.
Do you ever wish that maybe Mitch, like just wish he had driven a slightly better car?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
Everything would have been different.
Everything could have been different.
If you had like, if you had an Avalon, if Mitch Trubisky drove a Toyota Avalon, then
they would be like, that's the upscale model.
That's pretty sweet.
That's too flashy for me.
Ryan Pace isn't, isn't absolved here either because people forget Ryan Pace's whole solution
before he drafted Mitch Trubisky, the guy he fell in love with was Mike Glennon and
giving him a bunch of money.
So let's not pretend that Ryan Pace is like completely free of guilt.
No, but when Ryan Pace, so he's looking down at his coach, benching Mitch Trubisky in the
fourth quarter.
His love of his life.
Yeah.
To him, that's like, Negi is trying to be the last one alive on that life graph.
Yeah.
Like he's decided, made the call to kill.
It's a survivor.
Yeah.
He's made the call to kill Pace in his sleep and like, and go ahead and take that competition
out of it because that is, they had like the biggest rules going as long as Mitch was
still starting.
There was still hope for Mitch.
Then the draft pick was not a bust and Pace could save his ass.
This is what dysfunctional teams do.
They have people who all have to go at each other to try to save each other's jobs, save
their own job.
And instead of working together, they're trying to just save their own job and it all just
falls apart.
But that's all right.
Let's go on with that.
Let's move on.
Let's have some fun.
Week 11 was, it sucks that this was a Sunday night game.
Well, we need to do get fucking national televised disasters.
Always worse.
I mean, let's just give a shout out as bad as this was for the Bears.
This was a huge night for a guy, Blake Blake had probably the best reception of the night.
No, seriously.
He did.
He got up in the air.
His hat was on.
I don't want to say.
But yeah, you got a good camera on him.
He looks good.
He looks really good.
Hands for days.
Okay.
Let's start.
We'll go back in time.
We'll go to Detroit.
We just talked about it.
I actually had it written down.
This is going to be the saddest Thanksgiving game.
Cowboys 35 Lions 20.
I'm all bad.
I'm bad with my scores today.
I think the line, oh, they had 27 the Cowboys.
Let's start with the Cowboys still don't know who they are because they're five and one against
losing teams.
It is a team.
They should have won.
All I know is that Dak Prescott is very, very good.
And silently getting himself into the MVP conversation at 444 yards.
And afterwards he said he's never had more time in the pocket, which we'll talk about
Matt Patricia's defense in a second.
But that's not a good sign.
He's made himself a shit load of money this year so far and he kept cutting away to Jerry
Jones.
This was an all time Jerry Jones cut away game where they'd show him after every single
time Dak made a good play.
And Jerry to his credit, I think Jerry wants to pay him.
Jerry would be delighted to give Dak the biggest contract ever.
In fact, that's probably what he hopes happens, even if Dak doesn't deserve the biggest quarterback
contract of all time.
Jerry wants to say like with Dallas Cowboys, we have the most expensive quarterback in the
history of the NFL.
He wants to like pop out of a cake.
Yes, huge check.
Yes.
He was like, this is it.
We have the number one guy.
Yes.
So he's just excited that Dak is making him less and less and less insane looking where
he does decide to cut him that check, which he will do 250 million dollars.
Speaking of quarterbacks, we had on Sunday, Jeff Driscoll sign himself to five more years
in the NFL.
He has done enough as a backup quarterback.
He has done exactly what you hope.
If you're a backup quarterback and your number gets called, you do just enough that forever
for the next five, six, seven years, people will say Jeff Driscoll, he's a pretty good
backup quarterback.
He's got the moxie.
He absolutely has a moxie.
I forget what the spread was in this game.
It was seven.
It was seven.
Seven and a half.
So it was a push.
They went by eight.
They went by eight.
Okay.
I was going to say, because when you're back up, you're essentially playing against the
spread.
Yes.
That's your job is to just cover.
And if you can cover, then you are a qualified backup in this league.
But he did enough and Daryl Bevel has enough going on offense that now should we talk about
Matt Patricia?
Can we say things about Matt Patricia?
They put scrappy to that.
Yeah, they were.
They're a fight.
Their defense gave up so many yards and one of the best off again.
Should I say, Dak Prescott said he's never had more time.
They have a great offensive line.
They do.
They've got a lot of big boys up front.
Also, Bo Scarborough, the running back for the Lions.
I like him.
I think it's his first start.
He's bounced around the league a little bit.
He's built like a phone booth and he's just a guy that you don't want to try to tackle.
He's got a great name.
Yeah, Bo Scarborough.
That's a great name.
Is he a Michigan guy?
He sounds like he should be.
I think I'm just going to declare that now.
He went to Michigan.
I think he was.
Matt Stafford.
If Matt Stafford starts this game, the Lions probably won.
What?
If Matt Stafford starts this game, the Lions probably wouldn't.
He was Alabama.
Three years starter Michigan.
Got it.
Yeah.
He's from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, as Alabama as it gets.
So I have a staff for you then, Hank.
Last 26 games for Jim Caldwell, 15 and 11.
First 26 games for Matt Patricia, 9, 16 and 1.
So what are you doing?
I don't know.
What are you doing?
He's rebuilding.
And I probably am too trigger happy when it comes to coaches right now in the state
I'm in and you probably shouldn't switch after two years.
But it feels like the defense should be better.
That's all I'm going to say.
I'm not saying Matt Patricia should lose his job.
I just think I'm speaking for Lions fans right now and I know Lions fans feel that
way that their defense is not good and you hired a guy to make the defense good and the
offense has been good enough to win games.
Yeah.
I would be frustrated if I were Patricia or if I were having to deal with Patricia.
But the fact is they didn't lose this game in a heartbreaking fashion.
It was just kind of a normal run of the mill loss for the Lions.
Yeah.
Which is as good as a win for their fan base is like, OK, yeah, that's stuck.
We're used to this.
At least they didn't get fucked by the refs at least they didn't get screwed by like
a weird obscure rule rule at the very end of some weird chapter that just got written
by Mike Pereira.
They didn't get fucked over by a Hail Mary.
So it's like it's a normal loss for the Lions.
Just go home.
Yeah.
Randall Cobb, by the way, has turned back the clock.
He four catches 115 yards and that pisses me off that Randall Cobb is now good again.
And the Cowboys, I don't know what to make of the Cowboys.
I think they have a tough schedule down the stretch.
And I think even the Eagles losing today, the Eagles probably have the inside track
because they have a lot easier schedule in the last game.
The last Cowboys Eagles game is in Philly.
But the Cowboys offense like they have so many weapons.
I'm glad they're so good.
They are.
Their defense just their defense can't hang as much.
I'm glad that you brought up the Eagles because everything that Dak does, you have to compare
it to what Carson Wins does.
Correct.
They're always going to be compared.
I'd say Dak probably has the leg up on Carson.
Yeah.
I would much rather have Dak on my team than Carson Wins right now.
It doesn't help.
At this moment.
It doesn't help that Carson Wins has no wide receivers that can stay healthy.
Or catch the ball.
Yeah.
Or catch the ball.
We'll get there.
OK.
How about Jason Garrett?
He met with the team this week with the Cowboys and basically apologized to him.
So this is this goes back to the whole Kirk Cousins apology spreading thing.
He got beat by Kirk Cousins in prime time.
And then he had a player's only meeting with Jason Garrett where he just said to all of
them.
Hey guys I'm sorry.
I ruined a lot of stuff for you guys.
I'm taking responsibility.
I ran the ball with Zeke Elliott even though Dak was having the best game ever.
Yeah.
So the key right now if you want to win in the NFL is find somebody to say you're sorry
to.
Yeah.
I like that.
I like that.
So Jason Garrett still probably going to get fired.
I feel like unless they win the Super Bowl and even if they win the Super Bowl Jerry
my fire.
Yep.
And just like you know what it's time for change.
Yeah.
He likes moving things in and out.
Like this is Jerry's getting itchy.
You know.
Okay.
Next up Jaguars Colts.
Let's start with a Trey Wingo tweet that didn't happen but I know he wanted to.
How could you bench Uncle Rico for Napoleon Dynamite.
Yeah.
Trey Wingo definitely.
He thought about that.
He thought about tweeting that.
But that was Nick Foles comeback game.
That was basically one good drive and then it sucked.
Jacoby Brissette it was his comeback game.
Yes.
So he looks really did.
His unofficial agent is Bill Parcells.
I did.
Yes.
I knew they were like best friends in like Florida they met.
Yeah.
So he Jacoby Brissette doesn't have an agent because in his words he doesn't want anybody
else bullshitting on his behalf.
So he negotiated his whole contract with the Colts by himself with the aid and advisement
of Bill Parcells.
Yes.
Which is such like a funny conversation to imagine happening.
Well especially because Jacoby Brissette probably went to his meeting with like a big
cowboy hat and was like let's do let's do some let's let's take our belts off.
And let's negotiate.
Uh huh.
Let's do it.
The best play of this game was a play that didn't count which is Quentin Nelson's one
yard touchdown run that got taken off the board.
But the celebration stands forever.
Yes.
He did a cake stand.
It took like five people to lift him up in the air.
I think it's almost better that it didn't count because it's like it's it stands even
more now.
It's more memorable.
Right.
For sure.
And I was just I was looking at that and thinking dear God how many beers do you think Quentin
Nelson could drink.
And once it probably like probably 70 or 80 a Wade Boggsian amount of beer would be consumed
by that man.
He has like a he has like a six pack.
I've never seen someone who is as big and strong as him and like has to put on weight
to be an offensive lineman and still be as ripped.
So maybe I would see him just not drinking beer because he's just all he wants to do
is pancake people.
Yeah.
But that's the easiest way to put on weight though.
True.
Is just making just drinking beer and eating literal pancakes.
Yes.
And what I'd have to have him run the ball is he's not there to block for himself in
front of himself.
Right.
Which is why he didn't get into the end zone and in credit to the Colts for being like
hey we're just going to run the ball and run the ball and run the ball some more.
I think they had was it 250 or 264 Russian yards.
Yeah.
That's insane.
It is crazy in like today's NFL.
I kind of love it.
The Colts are a throwback team where Jacobi Berset is I think they did that because Jacobi
Berset's coming back from his injury and they're like we don't want to put too much stress
on them.
But it does feel like the Colts can just go and like go hat on hat man up football when
they want to.
Yeah.
That makes me so happy.
Yeah.
Right.
Doesn't it.
Yeah.
I saw you tweet this out earlier today about how when you went to St. Elmo's you asked
him what Andrew Luck ordered.
Hank was there.
Remember that Hank.
And he orders the chicken.
We're in the Peyton Manning Room downstairs in the basement.
It was five years ago.
Not a big deal.
And we not a big deal.
I think Burger King had paid for us to be there.
And we we were sitting there and the waitress was like we asked like oh so there's Peyton
Manning Room.
So you used to always come down here.
He's like yep.
So does Andrew Luck come here now.
She's like oh yeah he comes.
Not as much as Peyton.
And he's like what does he order.
He gets the chicken.
Yeah.
Nervous little bird.
Nervous little bird.
That's right.
Retired.
Harbaugh was 100 percent correct.
Retired.
What do you think Berset orders.
He probably just gets only shrimp.
Only the shrimp cocktail.
I would say he gets or he does like bone in bone in rib eye and then eats it with his
hands.
Yeah.
Like he's he's a man's man.
Quinn Nelson wears the helmet.
Yeah.
Just brings his own cow in.
Yes.
He's like I'm going to kill this at my table if that's fine.
Mind if I cut this this cow's neck real quick and bleed it out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that's that's what the Colts are now.
They have whatever you are in the NFL.
If you don't have the most talent which the Colts don't as long as you have an identity
you can win.
Yeah.
Like they have an identity.
They have what they want to do.
Their identity is basically Quentin Nelson is going to act like he's in a bar fight against
the worst frat at your school and just run around shoving five guys over.
And then and then Baldy watches the tape on Monday and just keeps nuts coming and coming
and coming.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He just gets so excited.
Okay.
So now the Colts are now first in the AFC South and I think they're playing Thursday night
against Houston.
Right.
Yeah.
Okay.
Loser leaves town.
And the Jags.
I don't know what you do.
I was all in favor of starting Nick Foles because you kind of have to because what you're paying
him.
But he was bad after the first touchdown.
I missed.
I missed my uncle Rico man.
Yeah.
Me and Trey.
Damn.
I really did.
I missed it.
Gardner Minshew say what you want about him.
But he makes Sundays a little more special around my house.
It was also pretty weird that the Jags I think they ran the ball like nine times which is
the opposite of the Colts.
It just felt felt.
I don't know.
Maybe they were like hey we have Nick Foles back.
He can do everything.
Let him air it out a little bit.
I don't know.
Maybe they realized that Leonard Frenett is just getting lucky recently with his long
runs.
By the way did you see was it Jamal Adams and Leonard Frenett got into this league off.
Yeah.
That was on Friday I think it was what was Leonard saying.
No it was during it was because of the LSU Alabama fighters on Monday night that's where
it started.
Oh I thought it was I thought it was Thursday because of the Miles Garrett thing.
It was.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Leonard Leonard Frenett said that Jamal Adams faked an injury or the other way around.
I think maybe Jamal Adams said that Leonard Frenett.
We're doing a terrible job of retelling.
Yeah.
But you get it.
The bottom line is it was guys bust each other's balls.
Yeah.
Bottom line is beautiful to watch.
The NFL can do this league too.
Leonard Frenett said Jamal Adams was hiding during a party at LSU and then Jamal Adams
said coming from the guy that quit on our team and faked an injury and then Leonard Frenett
was like well I still went fourth overall.
So it's just but like it was all kind of fair.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Before we get to the next one.
Shivis leading blended scotch whiskey Shivis Regal has launched a special new blend Shivis
13 Manchester United special edition.
We actually got some some to our desk.
Delicious.
I had a glass on on Friday night before dinner.
So good.
And I'm not like a big drinker and Shivis is I might have to get back on the wagon because
in honor of the teams not during Monday nights I hope that's not true yet.
Definitely not during the cleanup night in honor of teams 13 Premier League title wins
under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson portions of the 13 year old scotch are selectively
finished in American Rycast to magnify the sweet delicate notes of the unrivaled Shivis
house style resulting in an exceptionally smooth scotch with notes of sweet and juicy
orange citrus creamy milk chocolate and a dusting of cinnamon.
Shivis 13 Manchester United special edition is the first 13 year old scotch to be released
by Shivis exclusively in the U.S. and is available on shelves this fall.
Shivis Regal is Regal I think is the world's first luxury whiskey renowned for its benchmark
quality and taste style substance and exclusivity.
Shivis Regal believes that blended is better in life and in scotch.
We love it.
So you need to get it.
Shivis do it now.
OK let's do Bill's Dolphins next.
Bill's this guys.
You ready for this.
This was the Josh Allen game.
It was huge.
His best game is a pro and I want to take this moment to pat ourselves on the back.
We nailed it.
We nailed it.
So quick pat.
Hit it.
Hit it.
Hit it.
Hit it.
Hit it.
Hit it.
Hit it.
We told the bills to draft Josh Allen.
They listened and they're they're reaping the rewards right now in the form of a double
digit victory at the Dolphins.
He had three touchdowns and an and a Russian touchdown.
After that game do you think Brian Flores pulled his kicker sign was like hey if you ever
do a fucking onside kick in a game that I'm trying to lose I will kill you.
Oh that was my say something nice about the Dolphins.
It was nice.
It was an awesome onside kick and it was the second one that's been recovered all season.
It was a very it was a great onside kick but it really accomplished.
If I'm their coach or I'm the GM of the Dolphins if they even have one I'm mad that we're
trying that hard to win a game.
I think the the the kicker recovering his own onside kick is one of the most electric
plays in football because you don't know what to do afterwards and it never happens
right.
It happens like you get to see it once every few years where it's just perfect and he
did it perfectly.
The downside to record to recovering your own onside kick as a kicker is in the immediate
aftermath usually get like a hip bump or like a shoulder bump or something from one of your
own players that knocks you down onto the ground.
Yeah because then you look like a wuss.
Yeah you recover it internal yeah and then you get up and you do like a jump up and then
get smoked and then you get smoked by your own dramatic.
Yeah exactly.
I would just I would crawl off the field if I was a kicker in that situation.
Josh Allen has five straight games with two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Now that could also be rushing not just passing.
Sure.
One of them he had zero touchdowns passing but two rushing.
But either way I feel like this is the Josh Allen is like starting to show it and it feels
exciting for the Bills and I have a question for you PFT the Bills are now seven and three
best records since 1993 this far into the season or 1999 sorry this far into the season.
The teams they have beaten.
I don't I don't care.
Hold on.
Okay.
Yeah.
So they're legit.
Yeah.
Wait you said seven wins.
Seven and three.
Okay.
So they beat seven NFL teams.
That are a combined.
Okay.
15 and 55.
Agreed.
They beat seven NFL teams.
15.
They're legit.
The Bills are legit.
I looked at their schedule too.
We do this every week with the Bills.
We look ahead.
There's no way that they can keep playing this type of schedule and they're not going
to but I think they're going to win three more games.
I if you're a Bills fan I think you're well in within your right to just say to openly
admit it's all year.
We haven't beaten anyone.
We don't care.
Seven and three is seven and three.
You are sometimes you're basically playing like the Big Ten West schedule.
You get to beat up on on like Purdue and well Nebraska I don't want to be meaning Nebraska
I've been trying not to be meaning Nebraska but you get to beat up on some people and
then you get to say look at us.
We're awesome.
Listen you can only play who they schedule you.
So if you want to go back and talk you know 10 years in the future we can talk about scheduling
some more difficult out of conference opponents for the Bills.
We when we when we get when the Bills scheduled Florida State they were still good.
Exactly.
They didn't know they were going to hire Willie Taggart.
It's not their fault.
Exactly.
That's a brand name.
That's a marquee program.
The Miami Dolphins.
They were the only NFL team to go undefeated true and the Bills scheduled them twice for
two games.
They've got no fear.
No fear when it comes to this.
So yeah they can only play who they're going to play.
I will say this about about the Dolphins Ryan Fitzpatrick still looks like he's got some
zip on the ball.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Devonte Parker's not bad.
He's every time they say his name I'm like oh yeah he's good.
The stadium looks like a great place to take a nap.
Yeah it's going to host the Super Bowl.
Yeah I can't wait.
That'll be something nice about the Dolphins.
Do you have anything nice about the Dolphins say Hank?
The kick was great.
The kick was great.
It was great.
It was great to watch.
I bet the Dolphins money line and I they had a chance.
No not really.
No don't go too far.
Josh Allen just never had a chance.
Absolutely plugged up their blowhole with his dick and said you're not breathing.
They were never even close.
But that's that's okay you tried to say something nice.
I have noticed about Josh Allen he scores a lot of touchdowns on rushes where he sticks
the ball out with his giant hand huge that everyone said oh he's got it's not a big deal
he's got over 10 inch hands well guess what he's just like grazing the pile on so many
times over the course of a season he probably gets two extra touchdowns a year because his
hands are slightly bigger.
Yeah when Derrick Carr and Josh Allen see each other at the Pro Bowl Derrick Carr is
definitely going to be like can you just put your hands right over mine for a second.
Yeah quick let's take this picture like always sunny.
Yeah.
All right so the bills are seven and three feeling good.
Ten doesn't matter who they play.
No cares.
No.
Also John Brown's awesome.
Yes.
That was a great great job by the bills.
He's awesome.
What did Warren Sharp say they they went the opposite way they just got small fast wide
receivers instead of big wide runners underneath Josh Allen's balls.
Yeah that's brilliant.
It's very brilliant.
Okay next up let's do the historic game.
I'm talking about the Broncos and Vikings because we had the this is the game where when
you sit and tell yourself they're statistically do this is this is the game we're talking
about teams were oh and 99 excuse me when trailing by 20 or more half and Kirk Cousins
as a Viking was oh 10 and one when trailing in the fourth quarter and the Vikings won
they came back from 20 points and at halftime they won this game Kirk Cousins has his feel
good game.
Holy shit are the Vikings good.
I'm starting to believe in the Vikings and I know it's done but I apologize and then
I asked if I should have the Vikings fans should apologize to me for asking me to apologize
to him.
Well this is my other apology that I'm making right now.
I am a believer in the Minnesota Vikings.
I still have a lot of questions about Kirk Cousins but I'm kind of believing in them
now because this game right here this is the exact game that Minnesota Vikings would be
on the other side of well this is the exact type of heartbreak.
That the Vikings franchise has dealt with consistently and the fact that maybe they've
just seen it happen so many times to them that they finally learned how to win that
exact game.
Yep.
But a win like this that's something that you can actually build on that.
That's a good point and it also if not a comeback loss like the Broncos suffered the
Vikings at least the old Vikings would have just rolled over and died like they would
have come out in the second half and it would have been more of the same.
I think of that game they lost last year to the Bills when there were 17 point favorites
at home.
They're 10 and a half point favorites today and whatever it is.
I don't know what it is but this Vikings team does feel a little bit different and Kirk
Cousins we're going to say some nice things about Kirk.
He has been awesome this year.
He's been really good.
He has 18 touchdowns and three interceptions.
He's won a big game prime time game.
He won today.
So I'm very excited to bet against him in the playoffs but everything else is nice.
That's actually a really nice thing to say about Kirk Cousins implying that he's going
to make the playoffs.
Well my favorite thing is when when teams win that I've maybe not been like nice to because
well either they're my rival or whatever fans will always say like put a gun to my head
and be like say something nice about Kirk Cousins say something nice about Vikings.
So I said that I said Kirk Cousins has been phenomenal this year and I am so excited to
bet against him in the playoffs.
So excited.
Kirk Cousins has played exceptionally well after sneaking up on Adam Thielen in his sleep
and slicing his hamstring just a little bit with a scalpel after the brew haha they had
together.
Yeah.
Kirk's been good.
I still don't think he's a great quarterback but the Vikings are playing well.
Mike Zimmer laughed in the press conference afterwards.
Now there are certain things that a head coach like Mike Zimmer will laugh about in
a press conference.
One is coaches will laugh about their wives being mad at him a lot.
You're allowed to laugh about that.
You're allowed to laugh at a reporter asking a question where they don't know what they're
talking about from a football stance.
Yep.
And then you're allowed to laugh at the fact that that game just took years off your life
and you're probably going to die sooner because of it and that's what he went with
this time.
Don't forget the one the one dark horse if like a fire alarm goes off or someone walks
in like opens a door that they shouldn't open.
Yeah.
You can laugh at that.
Yeah.
That's like blooper.
That's a classic.
That's like a slapstick when it comes to for head coaches they can they can recognize
that moment and be like oh I should laugh.
This is unusual.
Yeah.
This is crazy.
Should we talk about the Broncos.
I've got a quote here.
OK.
I have a quote too.
I have one question.
Yeah.
Where is Drew Locke.
Good question because there was an interview I think it was Vaughn Miller said this after
practice.
He said Drew Locke is going to kill it.
He's going to kill it.
He's got everything you need.
The other day he ran out and did a little bootleg and kind of threw it.
It was an incomplete pass but I've seen a lot of good ones play and that was probably
the best incomplete pass that I've ever seen thrown.
So it sounds like he might be the answer in Denver.
OK.
So that's I love that quote and I was going to say John Elway this is the worst case scenario
for the Broncos because the Broncos have now had four losses of four points or less and
four losses where they've been leading in the fourth quarter.
So John Elway can reasonably tell himself they're right there.
They're just so close like the pieces are there.
They're going to be fine except for Vic Fangio who I don't know if you saw there was an article
this week that Vic Fangio is maybe losing the locker room.
Yeah.
What was he doesn't have great people skills and that is the biggest you think of all time
that Vic.
Vic Fangio was never hired for his people skills.
He's been a defensive coordinator for like basically 85 years and he's only 60.
And so he was hired to be grumpy and to not get along with anyone and hopefully coach
the hell out of the defense.
So I it's just interesting that they hired Vic Fangio and then in a matter of a half
of season they're like hey this guy's this guy's not really like he doesn't really say
like hey what's up or how's your wife or hey you know got any plans for the weekend.
He's kind of grumpy about it.
Yeah.
No shit.
It's Vic Fangio.
Yeah.
You hired Bill Belichick's personality without all the winning that goes along with like
yeah if you hire a grumpy guy and you're winning football games you're adorable.
Yes.
You're so grumpy you're adorable.
You're like look how mad he is even though you should be happy right now.
But if you're just grumpy and the team's bad then it becomes a shit storm.
John Elway did give him a vote of confidence after the game.
Oh nice.
So Elway's got his back which Elway might not have a vote of confidence.
But that's good.
You just pass it around.
He doesn't have a vote of confidence to give.
This is well no he might he might be I'm pretty sure once the ownership situation gets figured
out.
Bill Gates by which is giving his confidence to because that person doesn't have confidence
in LA.
The fans don't have confidence in Elway but Elway has used his confidence of just being
John Elway to then give it to Vic Fangio.
That's the only vote that he has right of his own company is very confident man.
But no one has confidence in Elway.
So he's basically just passing around confidence that he doesn't have.
So he's printing fiat confidence correct.
And there's nothing in the federal reserve of confidence.
Yes.
There's no actual gold confidence backing that off.
It's the picture of like Germany right before the recession when it's just like the little
kid sitting with bundles of cash.
Well that ended well so that's John Elway right now.
He's sitting in his office with bundles of fake confidence that he keeps printing his
pre World War two Germany right now in Denver Colorado.
I wouldn't be shocked if John Elway was like said to his secretary who absolutely calls
Han and he was like Han.
Can you go go to the printer real quick and print me some more of that confidence that
I got.
And she's just printing off sheets that literally say John Elway's confidence.
Yeah.
And he's handing them out left and right as people come into the facility.
Yeah.
He's got the real expensive ones the real pricey confidence.
He frames and then tells gives them people be like hang this one on your wall.
Yeah.
Yeah.
One's worth its weight in gold.
So he's got Brandon Allen who he's doesn't have a vote of confidence and no because Brandon
Allen is but six foot two and too many Alans and too many Alans going on.
We'll talk about Kyle on a minute but the Alans are Josh.
We have Josh.
Josh is good.
Josh is Alan one.
And the other ones I think it's I think it's enough is enough.
Yes.
And then they've got Flacco who you want to talk about a guy that's getting old yellowed
and taken out back right now.
Yeah.
At the end of his leash.
Maybe Chicago Bears take him.
That would fit in perfectly.
It would be just another bridge quarterback for the next year.
Knock off a couple more years on my health.
Yeah.
And then you can laugh about that too because you're a football guy like Mike said.
Yeah.
So then they've got 40.
Then they've got Drew Lock and Drew Lock I think is healthy now.
Yeah.
But he's not playing and throwing great incompletions and insanely good incompletions.
Okay.
So the Broncos are a mess.
So we've figured out from all this is that the Vikings are good and the Broncos are a
complete disaster.
Yes.
So next up let's go Saints Bucks Saints 34 bucks 17 PFT I have the C key question for
you.
By the way we're on Barstow Gold Barstow Gold dot com slash PMT you can watch us break
down all of week 11 on Barstow Gold dot com slash PMT.
Okay.
PFT the C key question promo code take ten dollars off.
You can go watch an NFL game.
Go to the Thanksgiving game promo code take ten dollars off your C key purchase.
I bet you the game like the Bears line is going to be a nine dollar ticket.
Yes.
So they'll pay you to go if you put in promo code take how many interceptions does James
Swinson have this season 17 18 18 18 and 10 games Congrats.
He had another four today.
Now the back interception that I that wasn't James's fault but I think James has gotten
to the point where he's like your unlucky friend who nothing's really his fault but
he keeps like you know getting fired from his job and you know has girl problems and
his car breaks down all the time and it's like and then when his car breaks down he
takes an Uber and he finds the one Uber driver that doesn't want to be hit on by him.
Right.
Exactly.
That kind of thing.
Exactly.
So he is that friend who's like yeah you know if things were different maybe it would
work out but right now you're just unlucky.
There's a lot of stuff that adds up and it can't all be it can't all be bad luck.
Right.
There's something else behind that.
That back the back interception where explain it so that people didn't watch the game.
So he threw a pass.
Who was it.
Was it OJ.
They might have been OJ Howard.
And then OJ like puts it behind his back as he's bobbling it and then it bounces off
his back and he gets tackled and and the Saints recover.
They're the Harlem Globetrotters of turning the ball over.
Yeah.
They have the most spectacular fumbles and interceptions of any team I've seen in a long
time.
Very entertaining.
James was squinting again.
He was big time squinting squinting big time doesn't help the plays in Florida.
People say like oh it's so cool.
Patrick Mahomes.
There was another no look pass.
James Winston throws every pass no look because he can't see the field and not see.
So I was looking it up because I was hoping that James Winston could get the record for
interceptions in a season.
What do you think the record is for interceptions in a season.
It's got to be far.
Right.
Nope.
It's a pre Super Bowl era and then a post Super Bowl era.
How could you.
The pre Super Bowl era has got to be like four because they passed the ball six times.
No no no no no.
I found some shit.
George Blanda who's a Hall of Famer mind you in the year 1962 in a 14 game season.
How many interceptions do you have 14 games.
I don't know.
It's got to be a lot then 30 42 the fuck Blanda dude I was back up shocked when I saw this
and ready for the craziest part the team went 11 and 3 and he threw 42 how many touchdowns
they had.
Oh like 20.
I don't know.
He he finished his George Blanda.
All right.
So here was my favorite game of football.
Here's my favorite game week seven.
He went eight for 18 104 yards zero touchdown six interceptions.
He had 42 interceptions.
George Blanda by the way is our new guy for any Hall of Fame case we want to make like
James Winston is a Hall of Famer because George Blanda is a Hall of Famer because he went
for 53 and 50 as a quarterback two hundred thirty six touchdowns two hundred and seventy
seven interceptions.
That isn't George Bland had 42 interceptions in a 14 game schedule.
It's six interceptions in two games.
So I'm looking on pro football reference right now.
They actually have it graded out by by fantasy points for him to kind of like how we're talking
about with Jerry Rice.
So he had a number of games that were like negative one four points two points.
And they and they were a fucking good team.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
The 11 and three unbelievable.
Yeah.
James.
It must have been punts.
Maybe that's what punts were back in the day.
You just throw it in.
Instead of interceptions.
Yeah.
We always say you learn more from a turnover than you do from a touchdown.
Yeah.
Blanda learned a shitload and then he got good and became a Hall of Famer.
James is just storing up all this knowledge that he's gaining from throwing in these interceptions.
So the post Super Bowl or the Super Bowl era is Vinnie Tessa Verde in 1980 at 35 interceptions.
Shout out Vinnie.
35 so we're probably not going to get there with James.
I was hoping when I saw it I was like man this would be great if James could just get
us a record like because imagine week 16 and 17 watching James try to get the record.
That would be thrilling.
But I don't think he's so we have hope maybe if he if he goes crazy here in the end he
could maybe break Vinnie Tessa Verde's Super Bowl era 35 interceptions.
But I don't know.
Wait is he on pace to break that or no to 18 interceptions in 10 games.
OK.
So we're going to crank it up here but here James he's going to need to start taking some
chances James.
And it's actually like the only reason it could happen is I think Bruce Arians loves
James Winston.
He loves throwing the ball deep.
Yeah.
He's never going to stop throwing the ball deep.
Bruce Arians probably just looks at James Winston like assisted suicide.
Yeah.
I got a C on my last physical that I took.
I thought that was really good.
If James can just keep throwing interceptions then I'll achieve my lifelong goal of just
passing away on the sidelines and a smile on my face.
Yeah.
He's going to do it for me.
Yeah.
Thank you James.
You're the perfect quarterback for it.
He also threw a pass left handed completed.
Yes.
That was that was a real shocker.
Yeah.
So good job.
And then as for the Saints I feel like the Saints this is a big game just answering
the bell because everyone's like what's going on with the Saints why they lose the Falcons.
They absolutely pasted the Bucks here and that's what they should have done.
It was a little handshake deal from Bruce Arians to Sean Payton saying hey thanks for
letting the Falcons beat you and insuring an extension for Dan Quinn.
So we'll let you run rough shot on us today.
Yeah.
The Bucks jerseys were too red today.
Yeah.
And also I don't like I don't like the the numbers.
Yeah.
Where it looks like it's yeah like a digital clock.
Yep.
These I that I will stand on the table and defend to my death hating.
And that is the alarm clock numbers that remind me too much of waking up in the morning on
the Bucks jerseys and then the Apple commercial where it has the sound of your alarm going
off.
And I hear it and I it just makes my blood pressure rise.
Yeah.
I fucking hate that.
You should not be allowed to do a fake alarm in a commercial.
It's genius.
It always gets your attention.
I hate it.
It always gets your attention.
That orange vanilla Coke.
Remember that.
Oh yeah.
That was the worst.
I wish that Michael Thomas would stand out a little bit for something that he does because
he's so good.
Yeah.
But he doesn't.
If you ask me what is one thing that Michael Thomas does really well.
My answer to you is going to be route running.
And that's my answer when I don't know what he does really catching.
He's got good hands.
And it's legal receptions.
Yeah.
He's a great ball skills.
Great route runner.
But I can't find the ball.
I couldn't tell you off the top of my head what he is the best in the league at.
But he is.
Catching.
He's he's.
90 catches.
10 games.
He's the best catcher.
He's a ball hog.
Yeah.
Easy.
Yeah.
He's he's just great catch.
He's always open and always catches the ball.
Yeah.
So the Saints are back on track.
Back in the conversation for best team of the NFC.
I don't know.
I feel like all the NFC teams we talk about it at the end but like they're all a little
bit flawed.
Saints Vikings Seahawks 49ers Packers Packers.
It's bad.
I don't know.
They're all like I could look at him and like maybe I guess every every team though.
They're the only team right now that feels almost untouchable is the Ravens.
Yeah.
We'll get to in a second.
Agreed.
Only team.
Just.
Yeah.
I mean the Patriots have some offensive line issues.
That's all I say.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Jets Redskins.
Sam Darnold.
Back.
Back.
Run the table.
Needed to play a bad team.
They did it.
Run the table.
The.
Yo.
If they beat the Raiders.
This is similar to my.
Raiders beat the Rams.
It opens the portal.
If they beat the Raiders next week.
Raiders have to go to New York.
Always tough.
Time.
Clock.
They got the Bengals and the Dolphins.
They could quickly become six and seven.
They can.
And then you don't know.
Then the table might get ran.
I have a question for you big cat.
Yeah.
And I don't know the answer to this.
So maybe you will.
Has an interim head coach ever been fired.
Bill Bryant should should.
Callahan Callahan.
Sorry.
Bill Bryant also should.
You really hate the mix.
Yeah.
I'm not a fan of the Irish.
Well Bill Bryant should have been fired a long time ago.
Yeah.
So I don't.
I'm going to firing frenzy right now.
I'm like I'm ready to fire everyone.
Yeah.
You're lashing out.
I really am.
It feels good to just like fire that guy.
Fire that.
It's it's really the only outlet a fan has.
Uh-huh.
Just like fire.
Shit.
Can't fire that guy.
Callahan is not going to get fired because it really wouldn't accomplish anything except
maybe you elevate Rob Ryan or Jim Tom Sula to head coach.
Yeah.
So fun.
To interim interim head coach.
Yeah.
That would be a perfect job title for Jim Tom Sula to have considering the other jobs
that he's had.
Assistant.
Yeah.
What was one like like cat salesman.
He was like a auto mechanic.
Yeah.
I think it was.
Yeah.
Like a cat cat vomit cleaner.
Rangler.
With cat.
An interim interim head coach position for Jim Tom would be pretty solid.
I like that.
Uh the Redskins are just trash.
Here's how bleak things are for this franchise.
You ready.
Uh they tried to get a sell the team chant going.
Yeah.
In the stadium.
But there weren't enough people in the stands to make it happen.
So funny.
Which is a great job by Dan Sider.
Like he's made himself immune to receiving criticism for his own fan base.
Yes.
Because it's three quarters filled with opposing teams fans every weekend.
Genius.
Um so my in my I addressed this last week but I'm obsessed with teams that are losing
or teams that are bad having to hop on Twitter and tweet something good that happened.
Today's teams that are bad that tweeted something good that happened came from the Redskins
when they scored down 34 to three in the fourth quarter and they just used a bunch of
exclamation points and then got roasted online.
Well I mean it's so awesome.
To be fair I think we had gone 15 quarters without a touchdown at that point.
Yeah.
Since October 13th.
Yeah.
It had been 35 calendar days since the Redskins last touchdown.
Yes.
And you could take that and add 14 more onto it uh if you don't count the Miami Dolphins
touchdowns.
Yes.
Because those are really asterisks as well.
Right.
But yeah it's it's been a tough season tough offensive season.
Okay.
So I have the fix.
For the Washington Redskins.
That doesn't include Dan Sider selling the team because he never is.
The Redskins should draft Tua.
That would fix it all.
Here's.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Bring me out.
Hold on.
Here me out.
Here me out.
Keeping their lower legs.
Here me out.
Here me out.
No.
No.
You know what you'd like to have to do this season and make sure you're not unhealthy for
next year.
You if you draft Tua.
You have now two shots at the franchise quarterback situation here because Dwayne
Haskins is bad but I also am like he's pretty much in the worst possible situation.
Kind of Josh Rosen last year.
Where can we accurately figure this out when he doesn't have a coach and it's like it's
offensive line today. He's like, come on guys, we're football players. We play for that sort
of thing. And the offensive line just looked at him like, dude, you, this is Washington.
He had an awesome throw. His best throw is a pro and then it was immediately called back
for holding. But if they draft Tua and then Tua, you, you can sit to a next year, let
him get a hundred percent healthy. See if Dwayne Haskins is the guy when you bring in
a new coach. And then if he's not, you now have, you didn't just say, Oh, well, Dwayne
Haskins is going to be fine. We'll just walk, you know, we'll, we'll just let this high
pick go when we have a guy who could be awesome, but it's hurt. Like it's a perfect storm.
They could put Tua on ice for a year training staff. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
But I'm just saying this is a smart team would do something like this. We're like, Hey, we
just drafted a guy, but we can now get a guy maybe at a discount. I don't, I don't think
you understand just how bad the situation would be. So in addition to the training
staff, which is, which is misdiagnosing cancer in their players for five years in a row and
the field that he would have to play on, that would be like the Amsterdam Admirals drafting
Josh Gordon. It's fine. It would be a bad situation. I'm telling you though, I would
rather, if you're a Redskins fan, I'd rather take Tua, let him sit for a year and then
draft a guy who is like, you know what? He's probably in three years going to be really
good and then demonstrate. I don't know. I don't want to see that happen.
Can we? Okay. So I had a question for you, PFT as well for this game. Oh, one other thing.
Jamal Adams is like, why you don't trade your awesome players, even if they're pissed off
because he's fucking awesome. He had three sacks. Say we had three sacks today, but he's
awesome. And that's why like, if you're, if your best player says, Oh, I don't want to
be here, just do whatever you can to make sure that they're happy. That's what you do.
Um, I saw, I took a, I took a picture when, uh, Robbie Anderson scored a touchdown. He
like basically went in the crowd and next to him was a guy wearing a Jets helmet. Yep.
Fully strapped up. So my question is rank these fans helmet strapped up helmet fan.
Yeah. Face paint fan, receiver gloves fan. Okay. I'm going to go, I'm going to go face
paint fan number one on there because you can always take a helmet off. It takes you
at least like 30 minutes to get your face cleaned off entirely. Yeah. Yeah. And when
you have the face paint on, you probably have to stop in a store or like run some errands
at some point in your day while you're still wearing the face paint. And that's just like
a laugh out loud funny situation for me. Yeah. Like a guy running into his bank to like drop
off his paycheck while he's all, he's got like the Zubaz coloring on the face. Um,
yeah, he's got like a little in his, in his like sideburns. He's got a little bit of paint
still there on Tuesday. Yeah. Justin Trudeau has given numerous state of the union speeches
with like some polish. Yeah. So then I'm going number two helmet fan. Okay. I like helmet
fan especially because you can put the beers on the side and make it a foam dome. Oh, that's
not real though. I'm talking real helmet. You got to wear the real helmet. The team issued
authentic one. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, American Ninja Warriors on that's the sign that we're
about to get loopy. That's the sign. Yeah, that is literally the Sunday side. That's
like waking up and was it charmed is still on your TV after the NCAA tournament? Wait,
I just saw one of the producers for American Ninja Warrior is named Kyle Weed. Yeah, Kyle
Weed. Pretty sick. What a fucking name. Yeah. Kyle Weed and he works on American and he's
definitely in CBD business. So number three, you have receiver gloves, receiver gloves.
And I'm not, I'm not poo pooing the receiver gloves. I like the receiver gloves. I love
receiver gloves guy because receiver gloves guy. First of all, they do the thing where
they can act it in the end zone. And then receiver gloves guy. You can always see the
receiver gloves guy because he's the type of guy who wears like he doesn't go to the
gym, but he wears like under armor pro gear and like Gore Tex and like the like, Hey man,
I'm you know, I got the fucking leggings on even though I have no leggings and then shorts.
Yeah, like the Kobe leggings. And he just thinks that he's forever in this like athletic
environment, even though he doesn't play sports and he stands in the end zone and he's like,
I'm ready to go. I got my receiver gloves. Like, dude, you're 45 years old and your kids
are next to you and they're not even wearing receiver gloves. I think receiver gloves guy
is the most illusional. Like the face paint guy, you have to have that moment with yourself
where you're face painting in the mirror and you have like that realization like, okay,
this is who I am. Receiver gloves guy can live his life in this fantasy world without
ever having to like come to Jesus about it. So he still thinks that he's normal. Right.
Face paint guy has accepted the fact that he was a little bit out there and same with
helmet guy because helmet guy, everyone kind of hits him on the head and he's constant
reminder like you're a weirdo. Receiver gloves guy thinks everything he does is totally normal.
And that's why I like how much does a pair of receiver gloves cost? Like the real authentic
ones. Are they like a hundred bucks? Really that much? Yeah, I think so. Real ones? Yeah.
And they're only used to be worn to games standing in the end zone and then making the
sign. That is pretty delusional. And I think you hit the nail on the head. A receiver gloves
guy is absolutely Kobe Stan. Yes. He's a big Mariana Rivera fan. And he just doesn't,
he doesn't think anything he's doing is weird. And I almost, I love those people who live
in this fantasy world, whereas face paint guy and helmet guy, they know at the heart
of hearts like they're like, there's something off with them. They understand the reality
of how fucked up their fantasy world is. Their friends are all other super fans. Yeah.
Whereas receiver gloves guy is at a regular, you know, he's got his Ford pickup truck and
he's doing the whole tailgate and being like, I'm fine. It has a cooler that he spent way
too much money on that he busts out. Shows everyone. Yeah. Come check this out. All right.
That was Jets Redskins before we get to the next game. When it comes to meat, quality matters,
but there's more to it than texture and taste. You got to try butcher box. We keep getting
meat every single month butcher box. I use it almost right away because butcher box is the best
not everyone has convenient access to high quality meat. You can get a hundred percent grass fed
finished beef, free range, organic chicken heritage, a bread, pork or wild caught salmon
at the grocery store. You can't get, get any of that there. You can get it with butcher box.
And that's where butcher box takes care of you every single month. Butcher box ships a curated
selection of high quality meat right to your house. PFC. You get it. I get it. I love it. We
get it. Hank, you get it. It's fucking awesome. All meat is free of antibiotics and added hormones.
Each box has nine to 11 pounds of meat enough for 24 individual meals, packed fresh and shipped,
frozen and vacuum sealed. So it stays that way. You can customize your box to go with whatever
you want. Every time I get it, I is what I do. I get the beef. I make a huge chili and then I
have a steak and then I put a sum in the freezer and I have that for the rest of like the next two,
three weeks. It's awesome. That's what butcher box does. You don't have to go to the grocery
store. You don't have to go to some fancy pants butcher. You can just get it delivered directly
to your door. And like I said, you get the 100% grass fed, finished beef, beef, free organic
chicken, heritage pork, all these things with butcher box. Butcher box, you get the highest
quality meat around for just $6 a meal. And right now you can get two pounds of ground beef.
That's the chili beef right there and two packs of bacon, absolutely free plus $20 off your first
box. Go to butcher box.com slash take or use promo code take at checkout butcher box.com
slash take or use promo code take at checkout. Okay. Falcons Panthers, Dan Quinn's getting in
extension. Big time. He's earned it the last couple weeks. He's won two divisional games,
tough to do. He didn't lose the locker room. That's what the danger was. When he didn't get
fired in the bye week, he was very much in danger of being like, well, our owner's given up on our
team. So what are we going to play for? They're playing for Dan Quinn. I think that Dan Quinn can
actually walk into Arthur Blank's office and be like, Hey, art or Mr. Blank or whatever you call
him weirdo with the wispy mustache. We just had the bye week at the wrong time. Like if we had a
bye week at week five, we would be in the playoffs. Yeah, like it just came at the wrong time. We
needed a rest. We got healthy. We're peeking. We're still playing our best football right now.
The Falcons haven't played their best game of 2019. Fuck them, man. I have a fun stat. You're
ready for this? Yeah. So this was this was a game as so often happens around the NFL between
a bird team and a cat team. There are several of each, right? I don't know if you're a big
astrology guy. Huge. I am. You then you know that Mercury has been in retrograde. Always. So while
Mercury has been in retrograde, the bird teams are 90% against the spread. So they've won nine
out of 10 games against the spread. The cats crunching these numbers. I did. I did it myself.
You trust them. I did it myself. The big cat teams are one and eight against the spread while
Mercury is in retrograde. Does Mercury go in retrograde all the time? Yeah. So it's really
valuable to know this information. Got it. Okay. Okay. All right. Yeah. I mean, I'm in the Falcons.
I am now losing money on the Falcons because I think that they're not good and they are good
all of a sudden and they're going to probably win their next three games. Like they're going to win
on Thanksgiving night against Saints at home and everyone's like, I don't know. Why not?
Why the fuck not? Dan Quinn somehow has them. Like now their defense just started playing.
They have like 11 sacks in the last two weeks out of nowhere. I wouldn't be surprised if I
looked up in week 17 and Matt Ryan had the most passing yards of any quarterback in the NFL.
Yeah. It's just like one of those weird seasons. He's going to do it. Right. It's just a weird
thing where the Falcons will end up like eight and eight somehow and everyone's like, what? Oh,
next year they will make the leap. So now we need to ask if Ron Rivera is in danger of losing
his locker room. Well, Ron Rivera and Kyle Allen, more importantly, Kyle Allen, he is in
dangerous, dangerous level here where he can lose his status of guy who can do something. Yeah. Well,
the problem is if you throw four interceptions in a game, you better already have the reputation
of a gunslinger. Right. And we haven't put the name gunslinger, the term gunslinger on Kyle Allen
yet. So you're not allowed to get away with that. I feel like he's gotten worse too since Warren
Sharp told us about his small hands. Yeah. I might just confirmation. Yeah. Right. Exactly.
But he since the Kyle Allen hype reached its absolute peak, he's thrown three touchdowns
and nine interceptions. And since did you know Damian Woody? I don't know if we ever talked
about this. He said defenses are more afraid of Kyle Allen than Cam Newton. Is that a fact? He said
that. I said that right now. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. I guess because Cam Newton is physically
unable to play. Yeah. He can't play. How crazy is it that people actually said we should trade
Cam Newton? Like every time someone asked me, do you want Cam Newton on the bears? I'm like,
why would the Panthers trade Cam Newton? It's Kyle Allen. Just because Kyle Allen looks
serviceable for a few weeks. Okay. Kyle Allen had Moxie when he's playing. Well, he's got Moxie.
He does, but he's, he is dangerously close to being not even a backup. Like he is. We talked
about it with, with Jeff Driscoll. When you get called upon, you want to do just enough
that people can say, ooh, he was, he was okay. We want him in the room. Kyle Allen had done that.
He almost got starter. Now he's going all the way backwards where it's like, yo, you stink.
Yeah. What about Will Greer? We haven't seen anything about Will Greer at all. No one's
talked about him. I don't know where he is. I figure you might as well just kick the tires on him.
He might be throwing incomplete passes at Von Miller's like, holy shit. Yeah. You never know
until you get him out there. Yeah. You're right. Kyle Allen, he's got a great name,
great quarterback name. Sounds like a Texas kid. Seems like a guy you could throw out there and
have some fun throwing around the yard with, but I think yeah, it's, it's time to bring him back
to his rightful home. And that says a backup quarterback. Just chilling out. Be the backup.
Good visor name. Okay. Texans Ravens, the much anticipated game of the weekend that really
just sucked because the Ravens steamrolled the Texans. Lamar Jackson does something ridiculous
every single week and their defense is awesome now, which wasn't to start at that pass interference
call got called. The tank, a completely different game. Thank you. I, I am so sick of the NFL's
pass interference calls because that was blatant pass interference. And then they challenged it
and they didn't change it. And the Texans would have had first and goal. The Ravens still would
have won, but they would have had first and goal would have went up seven, nothing. And
here's the test. Here's what they should start doing. Instead of challenging the pass interference,
they should just look. And if the cornerback looks for a flag more than twice, that's a flag.
Yeah. If the cornerback pops up and does the immediate incomplete sign, then that's not
pass interference. Marlon Humphrey literally just, his eyes just darted around. He's like,
okay, where's that flag? Where's that flag? I literally mugged Deandre Hopkins on the goal line.
The odds for overturning a pass interference call as a coach when you challenge it are
roughly the same as when we would do the MJ versus LeBron simulator. Yes.
And getting Kobe as the answer. Yes. That's about it. It's like one out of every 20 times.
They'll just decide to turn it over and there's no rhyme or reason to when it happened. And then
they turned it over in San Francisco when it wasn't as egregious as this one. That's because
they don't like Richard Sherman. It was fucking maddening. It's so, so frustrating how inconsistent
it is and how stupid the rule is. Like they just don't use it correctly and I'm so mad that it's
like, I shouldn't waste my energy being mad about it, but we are and look at us. It's kind of fun
to be mad about it. Oh, Rudd Giff. I don't know yet. Imagine us. Look at us. Look at us. Here we are.
Here we are. Not me. Not me. Not me. Yeah, we are. Yeah. There's, I don't know how they decide to
have it overturned. Like what sort of evidence they need. If they need two eyewitnesses, they need
you need to fill in one of those capture things. Like you're entering a password online. I don't
know what sets it off and makes it pass interference and makes it overturnable,
but it's very frustrating. Very frustrating. I agree with you. And I also agree that the fact
that it happened so early in the game does make a difference. Yeah. You know about like that old
saying if you're launching a rocket and you're two degrees off on takeoff, then you missed the moon
entirely. But if you're too, didn't know that, but if you're two inches off on landing, you're still
on the moon. Yeah. Some basketball coach. I think you're thinking of Mighty Ducks. Two inches,
two inches to the right and he makes it. And then the guy's like two inches left. You missed the
whole thing. Yeah. You wouldn't have jointed at all. Yeah. But no, you know, like when you're
launching a rocket, two inches off in either direction, there was like some coach that said that.
I think it was a basketball coach that said over the weekend or something like that. Trying to be
a football coach. But if you fuck up at the start of the game, seven points makes a big difference.
Yes. It's, I mean, well, it made a difference for the over. It did. Let's just say that. I
could say that. I also want to say that I respect the hell out of the people that are dying on the
Lamar Jackson Stinks Hill. Oh, it's, it's not, there's not many people left. There's not many
people left on it, but the ones that have chosen to stay and just ride out this storm of being
really wrong, but, but going down with the ship. God bless you. I need to, I think I need to like
every single week because I still have the stray Ravens fans who are like, still think they're
frauds. Dude, I haven't thought they're frauds for like a month now. They're really, really good.
Yeah. And Lamar Jackson is electric and their defense is, their defenses feels like it's
completely different than it was to start the year because I, that was my biggest thing was
their defense. I didn't think could stop people. And now they made the Sean Watson look stupid.
Look real bad. The front seven looked very good. Now the, the offensive line of the Houston Texans
is another story altogether. I want to throw another fan into your, your hypothetical ranking
list. Yeah. And this one is more specific to the Baltimore area. The team color camo cargo pants.
Baltimore has, I would say like 15,000 fans that go to every game on Sunday wearing those black,
white, silver and gray and make a little bit of purple camo pants. Yeah, I like those. Those are
really nice. Yeah. Baltimore has an underrated dress up fan base. They, they definitely are up
there. I did a, when the PI happened, there was a Ravens fan who had like a Raven. It was like
half Orioles, half Ravens avatar. And he just replied that wasn't PI. And it's so mean, but I
just retweet those people because then they, he had like a hundred responses. Just people
posting him. Yeah. Right. I don't, it's such a passive way to do it, but it's so funny to me.
I learned something about the Ravens logo today. Yeah. How we learned the Louisville
bird doesn't have teeth or birds don't have teeth, but the Louisville Cardinal does.
The Raven has a red eye. The Raven stone all the time. Or has pink eye, Bob Cassis. Yeah.
Or it's been eating some asshole. Yeah. Been sleeping on a farted pillow. Yeah. We're not
sure which one, but yeah, the Raven definitely has conjunctivitis or has been smoking some loud.
So the, the Sean Watson stack going around that everyone was like, Oh, his first loss by more
than one score since high school. Are we not counting that he lost 21 to seven to the Colts
last year in the playoffs and looked, that was a really bad game. Regular season. Yeah, I know,
but I hate that shit. I, that's, that's on Scott Hansen and I'm, don't, don't, don't, I know what
you're going to say and don't do it. You, you were going to hate on the red zone because I'm so
down with the red zone. Because you think it's, it's a schizophrenic and it's not like sitting
down watching an actual football, but let me tell you, as a Redskins fan, that is the perfect
distraction. I can't sit down and watch. I'm always been like, I'm, I know, but here's the
difference Hank with, I was starting to get annoyed with red zone, but with the fact that
we have direct TV here and you can come in and watch all the games and they're like telecast
red zone. Fox your brain up. We all have like, there's going to be a study in 50 years
how really the Mike Greenberg death of football, no, it wasn't in Cushions. It was the fact that
whenever they switched to another game, you automatically expect a touchdown and whoops,
it's only like a five yard run. Well, for my brain, it is tougher to follow along all the
games. Like when I go to, when it, when it cuts like the Patriots game, or there's probably a
bad example because it was the afternoon, but when it cuts to like the Panthers Falcons game
and it shows a touchdown there, I immediately forget what was just happening in the Ravens
Texans game. But you, so I, it's harder to follow along game, but these are, here's why
your take is bad big cat. It's called red zone. It's called red zone. I know, but, but Scott Hansen
will do a fucking middle of the field zone where it's like a five yard pass. You're like, wait,
this guy didn't break a touchdown and then he'll be like, we don't show punts and he'll get off the
punts. But the thing is the setup you're describing is better, but not everyone can be so lucky to
have six big screen televisions where they can watch every three TVs at home. Hank does too.
You can do that. Anyone could do that. Or actually one of my TVs went out. It's been tough. What
happened? I don't know. It's just dark. I don't know. It's just not turned on. Are you going to
like turn on? I press the button. Have you tried unplugging it, plugging it back in? Yeah. That's
horrible. I know. I'm sorry. I would have been a lot nicer to you today. It's all right. That should
have been your firefest. It's my future firefest. It happened. Stay tuned. When did it happen?
Yeah, Friday. I got home Friday. God got ready for three TVs. Only had nightmare. That's a nightmare.
Awful. That is an nightmare. He had to use only two TVs all weekend. Thoughts and prayers. Like I
can't. I shudder thinking about what I would do if I only was down to two TVs. That's fucking
horrible. But yeah, Red Zone, it's just too much. Your brain is melting out of your ears when you
watch Red Zone and you expect things to happen on every single play and it doesn't because that's
not how football works. I treasure my Sundays with the Red Zone channel, Big Cat. I'm not
watching it. My TV says, do you want to? No, I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm saying I like to watch
actual games. I like to watch actual games. I'm a football purist, if anything. I like to
feel the flow of the game. I don't think that they're to fucking get in bed with it and lay down
with it. That's enough. You're gonna be like, I'm ready for football season. I want to see the two
yard runs in their raw state. I don't want to go to a run and feel like it's gonna be a touchdown.
The Red Zone is football porn and then watching five games at the same time. That's like football
tantric sex with five different people. Thank you. So that's a Red Zone will make you not in 10
seconds. Yes. And that's great. And that's bad. When you get addicted to porn, you're like, oh,
fuck, there's a time and a stiff win will make me fucking come. There's a time and a place for all
that. And then tuning in and randomly coming across like the iron eagle Dan Fouts game in
its entirety. That's like putting Roman swipes on and you're not gonna not. I just wish I could
have it all in one box every game in that feed and just feel it. Whatever. All right. I digress.
All right. Cardinals 49ers. Hank, you think the 49ers are frauds? Yeah. Why? I just I think they're
overrated. I don't think they're frauds. I think they're overrated. I think they're gonna have
some troubles in the playoffs. Jimmy G. has yet to prove himself to me. Oh, I think he proved
himself today against the Cardinals. Yeah, because the Cardinals were like, hey, you have to, well,
it was a short week and Cardinals basically said you have to beat us with the pass and he did.
He didn't have his best player either. Here's what I'll say about the 49ers. I will determine
whether or not they are frauds. They remind me very much of like the Texans, the Sean Watson
last year where they have all the hype first round of the playoffs have an ugly loss. I see that
happening with the 49ers. The defense is pretty good on the 49ers, though. You have to admit that
their front four, they can get after basically any quarterback. I think the situation that happened
at the end of the Seahawks game, I see that happening in a playoff game. See, I thought
that today's game was actually pretty impressive, even though it was a close game. Shout out that
last play where that should be illegal. It was bad. That was bad. Everyone went to a push.
The fucking offensive linemen fell on the ball and threw it backwards. Thoughts and prayers,
by the way, to Caesar Sportsbook. They took a bath on that last second touchdown. They
lost millions of dollars on that. So everyone think about the bookmakers in Las Vegas at this
time. That was tough. But I thought this win for the 49ers was very impressive because it's
short week off of very, you know, like emotional loss. They got a bunch of guys injured and they
had to come back and they, you know, like they won the game in impressive fashion. I don't know.
I think this is one of those weeks where a bad team or a fraud team stumbles in this game and they
kind of like got up off the mat and the bell rang and they were ready to go. Richard Sherman did
say that that pass interference went against him because the NFL doesn't like him. Really? Because
he's active on the NFL Players Association board. So they're saying that's why that only
showed a turn. Richard Sherman is undefeated at finding a reason for a chip to be on his
shoulder. That's why I kind of like him. I kind of like, I mean, the whole like I'm going to make
up a phantom handshake that didn't happen with Baker Mayfield. It's crazy. It's insane. It's the
behavior of an insane person, but you need players like that. Yes. The other thing I wrote down was
Debo Samuel, who was graded at South Carolina. Best name in the NFL in terms of wide receivers.
Yeah. Debo Samuel. Like every time he gets Hollywood Brown, Hollywood Brown, but Debo is
actually his name. Debo would be a good like full back or wine. I don't know. Debo at wide
plays like aggressive though. I don't know. Debo Samuel, whenever he catches the ball, I'm like,
oh, there's that guy. Yeah. He's a dude. I had something else in this game. Oh, yeah. They
keep cutting up to George Kittle in the booth. Yeah. Like they just show his he's the Jerry Jones.
Yes. The San Francisco 49ers. Whenever the offense does something good, they just show him and he's
like up there just totally suited out of his brain on bang energy and grizzly and just like
banging on the wall. Be like, fuck yeah. Fuck yeah. It's great. I mean, he's just ready to go. Do
you think his dad writes his letter to him when he doesn't play? No. Definitely not. Okay. Definitely
not. Great story. You don't play. You don't get a letter. Yeah. Okay. Let's do we have two games
left. PFT. You want to do a quick ad? Yeah, I do. I want to talk to you about Peloton. I love my
Peloton bike. I use it several times a week. And if you're worried about finding the perfect gift
this holiday, Peloton is the gift that they're guaranteed to love. Give your loved ones what
they really want. Give them the gift of a Peloton. My bike is in my living room. I'm going to get on
there tomorrow night. You monitor me on Peloton tomorrow. I'm going to get on the bike tomorrow
night before Monday Night Football. Get like a 30 minute maybe even a 45 minute burn in before
the game gets started. It's actually a super convenient thing to have in your house because
you don't have to worry about going to the gym. You don't have to worry about making the commute
there the commute back. You got your shower that's about 10 20 feet away from your bike. It's perfect.
It's actually it's a big time saver and it's a great workout. You can give the gift of a worry
free trial. It's a 30 day home trial. So your loved ones can try the bike worry free for 30 days.
And if they decide it's not for them, you can return the bike for a full refund. So Peloton is
even going to come pick it up at no cost. It's a gift that they'll keep on using with an endless
variety of entertaining live and on demand classes plus motivation from world class instructors.
It's a gift that keeps them coming back well beyond the holiday season. I like doing the
Tabata rides. I like the Tabata. I like the Hills. I like the 20 seconds on Ted Tech. It's
off Ali love. Ali love took me behind the wood shed last week. And I think I did like a 400
calorie burner something in only 20 or 30 minutes. It's a super super good workout with an efficient
high intensity cardio workout at home. Your loved ones spend less time commuting to the workout
or braving the winter weather. That's the worst is walking to the gym in the cold. No, thank you.
One subscription comes with multiple profiles. So the whole home can use it from pop rides to
metrics rides. There's a workout that everyone in the family will love. So this holiday, give the
gift to Peloton, get 100 bucks off accessories. When you purchase the Peloton bike, go to onepeloton.com
and use promo code my take. That's promo code my take at checkout when you go to onepeloton.com.
Okay, we have two games left. First up, we have Bengals Raiders. I mentioned earlier when I was
getting very upset about the Bears. Max Crosby spelled with two X's had four sacks. Eastern
Michigan. He's our new guy. I like this guy. Okay. I mean, Max Crosby Max Crosby. Yeah. I mean,
well, why not? And this game stunk. But the good news is if you're the Raiders, you're saying is
literally just win, baby. So you can win bad and just be like, Yeah, just win. Yeah, we won. You
played a win the game. Yeah, I do like that. I think we should definitely call Max dosa keys.
Yes, right. Dosa keys. Always a good draft pick. Mm hmm. There you go. No free ads, but that's a
free ad for it is a good one. Yeah. Ryan Finley quarterback of the bangers, not the guy, not the
guy, but he is a guy who loves getting on the phone on the sidelines. So like he he loves doing
something so egregious, just fucking up as bad as you can fuck up and sitting on the bench and
then getting on the phone. They're like, Yeah, we're looking at the satellite image of the last
player right now. You fucked up again. Yeah, I fucked that one up. I actually think the bangles
could have won this game with Andy Dalton. You're probably not wrong. I mean, the Bengals have
admitted that Andy Dalton is a better quarterback, but they're like, we're just not going to play him
right now. I'm so sick of the Bengals though, because they're just they just won't figure out
whether they want to be truly awful or not. Like there's some games where they get blown out and
then there's games like today where they keep it close and I need you to be consistent so I can
consistently bet on it. You won't do it for me. You want to have a you want to have a fun stat here?
Yeah. Joe Mixon had the first Bengals rushing TD by someone not named Andy Dalton this year.
Yeah, it's crazy. That's nuts. They didn't have a running back score touch. That's nuts. That is
insane. And I thought that Joe Mixon hadn't been that bad this year. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe he
has been that bad. My other fun stat is there's a guy that's been living on his roof until the
Bengals win a game like September. Yeah. So he's just a roof guy. I think that that was he made that
bet because he secretly wanted to live on his roof because it's pretty cool to live on your roof.
Yes. That's where all the action happens. Yeah. So he's like, yeah, I'm going to stay up here until
we win a game like a little clubhouse until my own. Yeah. And there was like a local news story
about him. It says man still on roof. There you go, buddy. Yeah. He the Bengals fans.
It was nice. It felt like Raiders fans embraced Bengals fans that showed up and put on their
paper bags and just felt shitty. And it was like there was I just love Raiders games in Oakland,
the shots of the crowd and the people like dressed up. And then you just had you threw in like
there was some Bengals fan drinking with a paper bag. He was drinking through the paper bag.
It was just so sad but so good at the same time like it felt like Raiders fans probably showed
him a good time. Yeah. No, that's definitely a stealing valor from every homeless person that's
ever lived. He's just chugging went through the paper. Yeah. I like Bengals fans for the most
part. They're very colorful when they maybe it's just the uniforms and the stripes and the bright
orange. That's literally it. It looks pretty cool. That's all it is. Bengals fans are non threatening.
I've never been intimidated by a Bengals fan. Yeah. Or their team. The least threatening apex
predator is a Bengal. Yes. Like a drug. You're like a drug to Tiger. You're like a Tiger on
Quailudes that's speeding away from his wife after she's busted at the backdoor of his Buick.
Yeah. Exactly. Declod. Yes. Declod. OK. Last game. Patriots Eagles. Hank. Give us. Well,
first of all, good win for the Patriots. Their defense was awesome in the second half. Give us
your worry level though of the Patriots offensive line and Tom Brady basically having to run for
his life constantly. There was actually a quote after he said that he was like tired,
legit tired because he basically has no time. Yeah. It's not great. I mean, they were running
like the Mitstrabisky because they have no time. They couldn't throw the ball more than like five
yards and just all screens quick quick routes. Wasn't great. Looked ugly. Disgusting game based
off of the loss to the Ravens and obviously how the Ravens have been playing since that game.
They look clearly like the superior team, but it was a good win and they're still in the lead for
home field advantage for the playoffs. That's all you can do. Edelman might be your quarterback
of the future. Yeah. You got Edelman and Sanu. Probably the two best non quarterback quarterbacks
in the history of the NFL. Yes. Yeah. That's true. What about your defense? You're still happy
with the D? Turnover luck. How are you feeling about that on your side? I never really understood
turnover luck. We had some, we had some, we had some good down to some bad bounces. Yeah. I actually
said that to PFT. We were laughing when you love to, it's big cat's favorite joke on the free taxes.
It's like a turnover. Yeah. I say, Hank, that means that's turnover luck. Well, the ball was
in your kickers. Well, no, because I still, but it wasn't a turnover, but you, there was no turnover
that happened. So right, but that's what turnover luck is. Like that's a ball that you can get,
but you don't turnover doesn't happen again. I guess it would have been a turnover. Had the ball
bounced your way, but it didn't because you're unlucky. It doesn't have to be a turnover to have
like, be like, that's turnover luck when the ball doesn't bounce your way, when it could.
So like, Hank, when you're, you still don't understand, you still think I'm saying that
the Patriots are lucky? No. Yeah, you do. You're just pointing out turnovers. Definitely.
Right. You can't predict which way the ball is going to bounce. And sometimes just because it
doesn't bounce your way doesn't mean you weren't lucky. It's hard to predict. You can't like
say this game. We're always going to get this many turnovers because it's very, I never said
you could. Okay. That was talking turnover. Hank starts talking more and more like Bill
Belichick. Yeah. As, as we kind of like dig in on him, but he does reach a breaking point
every time we start to dig in where he snaps out of his, it was a good game. We're lucky to escape
with what he was like. Just shut the fuck up guys. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Here's a quote.
Oh, can you give us the Bill Belichick quote again? We said they're having fun. Yeah, we're
having fun. Oh, they asked him about the Eagles and he was like, uh, you know, they looked like
we were having fun out there, which is a shout out to the Lane Johnson quote on our show saying
that it's more fun to play for the Eagles than it is to play. That's so funny because that was
what two years ago. Yeah. And he doesn't forget. Wait, but he also misquoted him. Oh, yeah. The
quote wasn't necessarily that bad. Yes. So he was quoting him. He was just noting that the Eagles
look like they're having fun time. Okay. They're losing. Yeah. Fun time. I've noticed that, uh,
the weirder the combination of clothes that Bill Belichick wears, the more likely they are to
win that game. So today, 90% coming off a buy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think we ran through that on
Friday. So we took the number. Belichick was wearing the sweatshirt that was like cut off,
but also had a cut, just a small cut down the middle. Like he was going to tear it off at any
given time during the game like Hulk Hogan. Yeah. I don't know what the meaning of that little cut
at the front of the collar was on him today. Just give yourself a little air. Yeah. Just let the
neck breathe for a little air. Um, Stefan Gilmore after the game said that he knew he could get
Ertz rattled because he had seen the Eagle tight end crying on film. That's tough. Yeah. Yikes.
That's tough. So tough for Julie. Ertz's husband. Yeah. Julie's husband. Yeah. But yeah. So and
then the only other thing from this game is do you think how many times do you think fuck Nelson
Aguilar is going to be said tomorrow in the city of Philadelphia? That was a tough catch. It was a
very tough catch, but he's also the guy who everyone blames and it went viral when the other
guy said it. And I feel like you always need someone to blame and he's the guy. There's going
to be somebody like a diehard Eagles fan that starts his own house fire. Yeah. Just so that he
can get interviewed by somebody on the news to say something about Nelson Aguilar. Yeah,
run it back real quick. I did notice Gronk says that he's got a big announcement to make this
week. Oh yeah. Hank, did you see that? Oh yeah. What do you think that news is going to be?
Probably some type of sponsorship. Yeah. Probably like CBD, maybe a gambling company.
I could see Gronk being the first person to actually take cam soda up on an offer. Yeah.
To be like, hey, Gronk, we've made you a PR stunt offer to jack off in front of a camera
for 24 hours nonstop. End of the day. Gronk on the pregame show on Fox is also electric.
Oh, it's so electric. It's an absolute train wreck electricity. So end of the day, Patriots are
still probably the probably the team you're most confident in the AFC besides the Ravens. And then
I would say just knowing who they are. They're the team you're most confident in period.
Their defense is awesome, but their offensive lines got problems. Yeah. Big time problem.
I think they'll figure it out. We'll see. They'll figure it out. It's also tough when they don't
have it feels like they're missing like boy, Marshall new house. There you go. Get it together.
I know he is. It's tough when you were watching the game and like Julian Edelman's running
all the way down the field. Like if like Julian Edelman's fantastic, but if he's your deep threat,
it feels like it's like not balanced. Yeah. Nikhil's out though. Nikhil was playing today.
Yep. Such a great name. Nikhil O'Neill. Nikhil O'Neill. Yeah. What do you have like three catches?
Nikhil Harry. Yeah, I know. Great last name too. What did you think? No, I don't know. Oh, I don't
know why you're saying Nikhil O'Neill because it's like Nikhil O'Neill. Got it. Nickname. That's
what we do on the show. We come up with nicknames. Nicknames. All right, let's do who's back and
then we will finish up with a Monday reading PFT. Do you have a couple ads real quick? Yes, I want to
talk to you guys about our good friends over at Mugsy Jeans. I wore my Mugsy Jeans all weekend.

Okay, we're going to do something a little different this week. We're going to have
Football Guys be a poll on Twitter and we're going to have, you can read about who we have
nominated on Twitter and I think Jake will blog it, so check that out at Pardon My Take.
Let's do who's back in our Monday reading. By the way, we should just quickly say,
I also want to run a poll of anti-football guys this week and that includes Peter King
for saying everyone write in and tell me how Miles Garrett is going to affect like whether
you'll let your son play football. Yep. And Adam Schefter, who assault, that's how I figured he
said that. Assault. And Peter King, by the way, just saying that he said an act not seen in decades
requires discipline not seen in decades, particularly in these times. Shut up. Peter,
have you seen the last Boy Scout? There was a guy bleeding from his ear. Shut up, Peter King.
Stupid. It's not as bad as going into a hotel shower and realizing that the drain is still
plugged and you have to lean over and flip it up, but it's pretty bad. The people who like
unimaginable. Yeah. Unimaginable. Incomprehensible. Unthinkable. Unthinkable and unimaginable.
That's what that's what Chefy said. These people are just losers. I've also, I've seen
like five guys get a helmet swung at them this year. Yes. It happens a lot. You've seen
way worse things happen out of football. Now, it wasn't in prime time and it wasn't
to someone with such a giant gravitational target as Mason Ramsey had. I mean, Mason Rudolph had.
It's okay. Yeah. Don't, don't hit Mason Ramsey. No.
Start the helmet birthday. Yeah. Happy birthday, Mason. But yeah, it was,
it was ridiculous to see all the takes that were coming out. It was crazy. All right. Who's back?
Hank, you start. My who's back is the Motorola Razor. Yeah. So I saw a commercial for this this
weekend. I personally had, it was like the first phone I had, even when my friends were starting
to get iPhones, I had a Motorola Razor. It was like, so by the time I had it, it was old.
But I had it for like three years, a bunch of nostalgia. They're bringing it back, but it's
like apparently going to be a smartphone. So it's going to be like the new like hipster.
I don't even know. I don't know if it's going to work out or not, but the Motorola,
Motorola Razor is back. Wait, so it's going to have everything like iPhone has? It's going to be
a flip phone, but yeah, but you can flip it up and it basically turns into like a one screen iPhone.
That sounds to me like it's going to get broken immediately. So it can be a flip phone or a
touch screen like the iPhone should make a flip phone because the only I would buy one,
but then you'd be the green dot and you can't do that. Well, the cool thing about a flip phone is
you can rock it on your belt and let everyone know that you work in it. That's true. It is pretty
sweet. Hey, what's up? If the new Motorola Razor has Snake on it, then that's what I'm saying.
That was Nokia Tetris. No, no, that was Nokia. That was a little brick. Yeah. So I had. Yeah.
No, Blackberry had Brick Breaker. Yeah. Brick Breaker was awesome. I wasted so much time
at a job that I was getting paid for to play Brick Breaker. If you bring back a phone that
has Snake, Brick Breaker and Drug Wars on it, then I am so far in. Snake is so good.
Just Tetris. Tetris on the Razor was the best. Someone make Game Boys again.
Uh, my who's back of the week is Shorts. Oh, yeah, because the Wisconsin or not the
Wisconsin, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. They won. They're going to the CFL gray cup final. Yep.
And if they win, that dude gets to put on his first pair of pants in 19 years. That's crazy.
He promised his buddies he's not wearing pants until they win the big one,
the gray cup. And they are one week away from doing that. We're going to try to get them on.
If you know the Shorts guy, possibly the biggest Shorts guy in the world,
I had a drunk idea this weekend. Yeah. Shorts that are warm. Shorts you can wear during cold weather.
Do they have like warmers in them? No, I haven't figured it all out yet, but just
I want to be able to wear Shorts when it's cold outside and not be cold. If there's a way to do
that. There is. Get fat. Get fat. And also you just get the Shorts but make them a little bit
longer. Okay. To your ankles. At what point do they become? No, if you just call it's a state of
mind. Yeah. Just sell you Shorts. If there's no cuff at the bottom. Giant Shorts. Giant Shorts.
Shorts. The Shorts for Giants. Yeah. Huge Shorts. But you get to wear them. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That
works. Or just like if you, if you could make, I don't know, NASA, figure it out, like use some sort
of heat retention. Yeah. Fabric and keep, keep my legs warm from the kneecap up. Yeah. I don't
figure it out. It's not that hard. All right. My who's back is Christmas lights or holiday lights
in bars. I love that. Yeah. There's something about going into a bar and having the holiday
lights in there. It just feels better. Feels more like nicer to drink. Even better when it's in like
August. Yeah. But this is like the time where you go into a bar, you want to buy everyone else a
drink. It's the spirit. It feels warmer. Yeah. It does. It reminds me of that scene in Goodfell
is where they walk in after the tons of heists and everyone's married. Oh yeah. Like it feels warm
in there. You come in from the cold, they come in and there's lights all over the place and everyone's
happy to see each other. And I mean, December is like the ultimate drinking month where you can
just socially drink all the time. And so we're about to get there with Thanksgiving. And then
my other who's back is Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh is all the way back. He is big time. He fucking
stepped on Michigan State's throat. And did you see the game ball off? No. Oh my God. So Harbaugh
after, before the last play, before Shay Patterson, because Shay Patterson, Patterson was his best
game as a Michigan quarterback before he kneeled the ball to end the game. Harbaugh told him,
make sure you don't give that ball back to the refs because I want to give it to you as a game
ball. And then when they went into the locker room, Shay Patterson gave it to Harbaugh as a
game ball. And then Harbaugh put it in Shay Patterson's backpack before he left without
him realizing. So it's a game ball. They just kept on giving it back and forth to each other.
That's going to end up being one of those lifelong friendship things that you hear
about where like two friends prank each other over the course of their lives by like sneaking
one little trinket back. Yep. Harbaugh is going to be 80 years old and like roll out of bed,
go to his computer to type in his chopping list and excel. And like underneath his desk is going
to be that damn football ball. He's like, shit, you got me. You got me. I'm going to say something
that's probably going to elicit some people being mad at me. I think Michigan beat Ohio State.
Really? I do. You're going to get a lot of people mad at you. I think Michigan can beat Ohio State.
I'm not going to say they are going to beat Ohio State. I'm not going to guarantee it. I think
it's going to be a more competitive game than people thought a month ago. That's going to be
the Northern equivalent of Cocho beating Alabama. I mean, it would be. Do you think Harbaugh cries
if he wins that game? Probably. Yes. Yeah. Harbaugh would, I mean, it would be, and then he
would immediately berate himself because then he would go, he would have gone three and oh against
his rivals, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Ohio State. I again, I don't, I'm not going to, I'll
have to wait to see the line and I'm not saying like, Oh, I'm guaranteeing. I just think it's going
to be a lot tougher of a game for Ohio State than people thought like after Wisconsin, you know,
or anytime before Michigan played Penn State, they turned a corner in that second half.
When Harbaugh told him, this will be your finest hour, even though second halves are like two and
a half hours. But ever since that moment, they've been a different football team. Yeah. I mean,
I would, I would love to see that. I would love to see the look on Harbaugh's face. It would be
incredible. It would be incredible. All right. Let's finish up. We have a Monday reading. We
haven't done one in a while. This one comes from Reddit and it says, my boyfriend of two years
will not stop speaking in a fake Italian American accent and keeps making up foreign words.
All right. Here we go. Okay. To preface this, I love my boyfriend and he is super sweet, nice,
smart guy that I feel lucky to have, but his behavior lately is freaking me out and makes
me worried for the future. I love how they always start with this. I love him. I love
him, but there's something so wrong with our relationship that I'm asking millions of anonymous
strangers on Reddit. Yeah. I love my boyfriend, but he keeps insisting I have to go to Dave and
Buster's. So what do I do? All right. So my boyfriend loves movies, especially mob movies.
He has all the soprano DVDs at his place and I'm pretty sure he still watches them that way.
That's fine. Obviously you can watch and enjoy whatever you want. But last week, he saw the
Irishman with some friends and since then he will not stop talking in like a fake stereotypical
mobster accent. We were in an Uber the night after going out to dinner and admittedly the
driver was going a little fast, but my boyfriend kept muttering things like, who's this fucking guy?
Huh? Dale, Dale Earnhardt Jr. over here and shouting ho as we took corners. He would not
shut up and even gave the driver a one star review saying it was about respect. I fucking love that.
This guy sounds like he's a smart guy. I'm riding here. Hey, hey. He didn't respect you, honey.
Not in front of you. Not in front of my Guma. Everyone has their quirks. I get it and they can
be what makes someone special. At first it was even kind of cute, funny, but I just can't really
understand this shift all of a sudden. It's been a week and he continues to make asides in his voice
and when he gets drunk, he speaks in made up Italian. Like we were having dessert at my sisters
and he came up to me and said, Hey ma, I got to get home and hit the drapeenie. Okay. I'm the DD.
I don't drink. So I asked him why he wants to leave and what a drapeenie is. His response was,
you know, like a shower. That's a great term for a drapeenie. I'm going to start calling the shower
the drapeenie for now. Let me get a quick hot drapeenie. I got to get in the, I got to take a
soapy, you know. This guy is funny. I like this guy. Drapeenie is not a word. Well, it is now.
In any language, he also never called me ma before ever. And now he does it almost all the time.
I feel crazy. Like this is going to be a permanent feature of his personality now.
I know this sounds incredibly stupid compared to some of the other issues on here, but I'm just
really nervous about what this means about his personality slash mental health. He really is a
sweet loving guy with a wonderful family and have a lot in common, but just like, I don't even know
how to begin to approach this. I want to tell him off and be like, why, why do you keep doing this
voice? Can you please stop? We don't live together. So thankfully it's not constant thing, but like
what if we did and it was shot? Come on. I need to know for a, come on. Hey, we're just having a
laugh. I need to know what this guy's actual heritage is. Well, okay. So here we go. Is this
the, the kind of thing you just deal with when it's someone you love edit? I just want to add
that he's not Italian at all either. So I'm also worried people will get offended when we're out
or something. Hey, the drapeenie. Hey, come on. Hey, oh. Hey, it's just good, clean fun. This is
having a laugh. Listen, if you haven't done this at some point in your life, I don't, like, you're
not a human being. Like you watch Sopranos, you watch good fellows, you talk with your hands a
little bit. You kind of think your life's a movie. It happens for a couple of weeks and then it passes.
Yeah. Hank started wearing tracksuits when you watched Sopranos. I've been watching a lot of
Peaky Blinders lately too. You get a Scali cap? Not a Scali. It's more the accent. You know,
yeah, with, with Peaky Blinders for me, I watched that whiskey. I want to drink whiskey and I want
to smoke cigarettes nonstop. Yeah. So hard not to. Yeah. And do and do some like chopped up heroin
from Asia or no. No, Arthur has cocaine addiction. Off a Shelby. Yeah. Yeah. Don't even fucking start.
It's a devil's will. I'm not knowing. But it's then he gets, he gets married to that like Christian
girl that won't let him go anywhere and do anything. And he's like, Oh, I'm not doing. I want it on
the record. I'm not doing it. Okay. I won't do it. I'm not doing it. Not going to go any further.
But yes, you do get into modes when you watch shows, when you watch TV, when you watch movies,
you want to emulate your heroes. The good thing is, Hank, can I tell you something real quick?
No. Peaky Blinders. Too late in the morning for this, for these jokes. No, it's not a joke. Peaky
Blinders, the seasons come out so infrequently. Like I haven't watched the most recent season yet.
I can't remember a thing that's happened in the past. Yeah. Like not even one thing. I need to
refresh of course. So you're good. But yeah, you get in these modes and you emulate, you know,
Hey, it's also fun. Yeah. If you don't have an accent, if you grow up speaking without any
noticeable like broke off. Yeah. If you have like a newscaster voice, it's fun to put it. It's like
put on a Halloween costume for your voice. Right. It's cool. Right. So let us let the drapeenie.
It sounds like he's trying to bring a little class of the relationship. Hey, Mom, why don't you go
in the drapeenie when he's eating the drapeenie? A little of this, a little bout of boom.
So if we go in the drapeenie, we have some fun. I don't know. Maybe nine months later,
we got a little, we got a little grease ball run around. All right. We'll see everyone Wednesday.
Enjoy Monday football and fire every coach in America. Love you guys. I fucking love you guys.
Right. So bullshit.
Oh, wow. Not the catch. We'll see.
Right.
Right. Just
have it.
Oh,
Oh,
not now.
Right.
Wow.
