Yeah Part at My Take Welcome to Part of My Take Presented by Draft Kings The Crown is yours Today is Friday, October 31st Happy Halloween to everyone We are dressed up

Go watch us on YouTube Hank, what are you? I am twisted tea. I'm twisted. Oh, let's get twisted. Memes, what are you? I'm Shrek. Donkey.

Give us a line. Donkey? Donkey? Yeah. Max, where do you? Me and Hank doing a couple's costume. Oh. So you're also twisted T.

We're a two-pack. Zach? I am the yellow M&M. Nice. Love that. Nice. PFT. I am post Malone.

I guess I'm pre-Malone. Okay. Post Malone. Post Malone. And I am Shark Week. I like that. This was Zach. actually saved me because I was going to be the go-puff, stay-puff man, and go-puff is something

different, stay-puff man, and it doesn't really work for podcasting because I couldn't see out of the entire costume. It was very loud, too. It was very loud. The inflatable ones always are. Didn't think that one through, but we are costumed up, and we watched a spooky Thursday night football because it is a horror show watching the Miami Dolphins play football. It was bad, but congratulations.

to the Baltimore Ravens, because I feel like this is exactly what they needed. Made me feel a little bit better that the dolphins were only able to get six points against the Ravens. Ravens defense looks like it's back. Lamar Jackson. Basically, he was okay in the first half. He was good, but he was getting a little rust off than in third quarter. He's like, you know what, let's just end this game right now. And he ended the game. And they dominated him in the third quarter and the game was over. And Mike McDaniel, you fire it. It looked bad. And then at the end of the first half, that was a particularly depressing drive if you're a Dolphins fan because it, first of all, every time the Dolphins do anything good, something bad happens.

Yes. They never have anything good happen to them. And they never get to exhale after a good play because you know there's a flag coming or you know that there's a challenge flag. That was a very mean challenge, by the way, that John Harbaugh threw on that sick-ass pass to A-chan, right? Yep. And it didn't really hit the ground.

Harbaugh challenged it. It got overturned. That felt like it was rubbing salt in the wound a little bit for him. the most depressing part was that drive at the end of the first half when they get the ball to midfield and we were saying first of all we wanted to see how far too it could throw it yeah so let let the kid sling it and i don't think too wanted to see how far he could throw he did not yeah and uh second of all if you're not going to let two a sling it put in zach wilson to throw hail mary designated hail merrier like they had uh i think jacobo bressette did that for a little bit right

yeah when it was philip rivers on the colts yeah i think it was like okay you're the hail mary guy instead they had to a drop back to pass and then self-sack after like three seconds and it was just I've never seen so many hometown fans booing their team when they're and well-deserved by the way it was deserved the entire game just became how many sad screen grabs can we get of dolphins fans we had guys with popcorn buckets on their head there was a guy wearing a baby mask that said play with some pride there were just the booze were out the screaming was out there was like there's a legitimate fans screaming at the home team, that's how horrific it got. It was paper bag city.

It was paper bag. There was one guy that stood up at the end of the first half, and he was booing, and then he stopped his booing to take out his phone, to take a video of the entire stadium booing. Yeah. It became like a spectacle. Yeah, and, uh, yeah, they're just the most bad vibes team out there. Even when they had a good game last week and beat the Falcons,

oh, could this be something? You know, could the dolphins be moving in the right direction? No, as Henry Locke would say, eh, and the Ravens are, they're going to win the AFC North. They're going to win the AFC North. We should congratulate them. They're going to win the AFC North.

Lamar had the most Lamar stat line, and I mean that in the best way possible, outside of the rushing, because usually he'll rush for a few more yards, but he was 18 for 23 for 204 yards, four touchdown, zero interceptions. Like, if you showed me that stat line, I would just every time be like,

that was Lamar. That's a win. That's Lamar. But that's what he's super efficient. It's not like he has to throw 400 yards, four touchdowns. Every time they needed to play, he got one. Mark Andrews, you know, reinvigorated. It's just, yeah, the Ravens are going to be just fine.

The Ravens are back. They're going to win the. Think about who they, think about who they're playing. Like, they still play the Steelers twice. The Steelers, they're going to beat the Steelers. At least, well, actually, no, they'll split the Steelers. They got the Vikings. They'll split the Steelers.

The Browns, the Jets, the Ben, the Bears. the Jets, the Bengals, Steelers, Bengals, Patriots, Packers, Steelers. They're going to, even if they split the Steelers that, you know, all they beat the Browns, beat the Bengals twice. Yeah, the Ravens are going to be fine. They'll be just fine. They'll be just fine. And I give a lot of credit to Lamar Jackson for showing the leadership to take not only

the ping pong table, but the pinball table out of the locker room. He made the announcement yesterday. He copped to it. He was like, yeah, that was me. People were having too much fun. They're playing too many games. We're not about games here. So my theory is that maybe.

Marlon Humphrey was just kicking his ass in pinball or in ping pong. He was like, okay, hey, too much joking around, get the tables out of here. Stop the horsing around, fellas. And did you see the jersey that Lamar was wearing when he did this press conference? No. It was like his practice jersey, but it had all these patches on it. It was like all of his MVP trophies were on it. Oh, yeah, yeah.

His, like, Offensive Player of the Year trophies. It looked, Mark Titus said it looked like the Jeff D. Loe version of a practice jersey because it was just flare that he had invented for himself that he was going to put on it. It looked like he ironed it on at home. That's, I mean, listen, you got to wear your flare. Got to, yeah. You got to have all your flare showing at all times. The dolphins have to just fire everyone, start fresh, right? Yeah, you would think, but I don't think that they're going to. I think that McDaniel will probably be fired. And Chua will probably be fired.

Fired or, I just paid. Paid and fired. Still paid and fired, which is a great way to get fired. but they'll probably I would think that they are considering keeping Chris Greer as the GM I don't I don't know it just feels like they're lost and they've been

lost for a couple years it feels like this year has been building for the last three years does that make sense even though they had some year like they went to the playoffs or was it two years ago but it just feels like we've been building to this moment of hey when this is going to go south it's going to go south quickly

and in a horrific fashion It depends on how they finish out the season because the worst thing that they could do would be to do the thing that they've done and go like, I don't know, figure out how to win six games or seven games and then not do a full reset. Yeah.

They probably won't based on how they look right now. But that's got to been their M.O. over the last few years. It's like, you know deep down in your heart that you need to tear it down, but finish the season out just strong enough so that not enough people have to go. Yeah.

Yeah, it just ever since, the Kansas City playoff game in the cold Something happened in the cold It's just gone down It actually was I think it was a combo It was that

And then didn't they In that same year I think they lost the division In week 18 To the bills I want to say Because they finished 11 and 6 that year It was like that game It was the they lost

The Ravens in week 17 By a billion Then they lost the division of the bills Then they lost in the cold To Kansas City Then everything just has gone south since I think it got so cold in Kansas City that it completely ruined the team.

Yeah. They still haven't warmed up. They have long hypothermia. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay, so the other thing we got to talk about before we get, so we taped the picks and preview in Baldi earlier in the day, so we're going to get out of our costumes,

and we'll be back in our costumes for Fire Fest. But the World Series has been incredible, and the Toronto Blue Jays, OK Blue Jays, let's play ball. What a story. Yeah. They, after the 18 inning game, they win game four. They win game five, which was a pivotal game five, as Magic Johnson pointed out to us on Twitter. Trey you savage, unbelievable.

I don't think we're, because, you know, it's a lot about Vladdy, rightfully so. It's a lot about Shohay, rightfully so. This fucking dude was in college baseball last year. He's pitched this season he has pitched in all five levels of baseball. He made three plus starts in all five levels. He started the season in single A. Then he went to High A, Vancouver Canadiens, AA New Hampshire Fisher Cats, AAA Buffalo Bisons,

now on the Blue Jays. He got called up in September. He's now pitching pivotal games, game five, 12 strikeouts. It's insane. This guy is insane. It's making like 20 cents. It's absolutely nuts. He was lights out.

He made Shohei Otani swing his own helmet off. Yeah. At the plate. He was like embarrassing dudes out there. Embarrassing Shohi Otani at the plate. It was awesome to watch. I was very happy for the guy. And then the way that the Blue Jays started the game, though, was incredible.

Jumped on him. Jumped on him. First pitch, ding dong. Davis Schneider. This guy is so fucking weird. I love him. He is. His name is even like, it should be David.

It should be David Snyder. Yeah. It's Davis Schneider. And this guy, he is the Frank Calyendo of Major League Baseball players. He imitates other players batting stances I think he goes through like 30 different batting stances over the course of a year And so like two games back to back

He'll switch it up Yeah Last night they asked him who he was imitating With his batting stance He said, I'm imitating tonight Actually my own batting stance From when I played minor league baseball Great

The dude just switches it up all the time And the whole time he's doing it He looks like he should be a cop on Reno 9-1-1 Yeah, he looked awesome He should be in a buddy cop movie I thought he looked like that dude He's the goofy one Who like fires the gun and hits his own dick

He looked like that dude from Sicario The guy that was just sitting in the shotgun seat That guy's a fucking killer Dude, Sicario is such a good movie It's the best And the second one was really good too I didn't see this guy Oh you should

I heard it was bad Oh I loved it Okay I'll check it out No you should see it I mean it might It's not as good as the first one But I still It's pretty much like same shit

Like hey cartels We're badass Gonna kill some people Some operators Blow some shit up Yeah It's fucking cool Yeah, the Dodgers, sorry, the Blue Jays, the Cup is in the building, they can win the World Series.

Do you think, I saw someone point out that the 18-80 game actually took a lot more out of it, and this is obviously maybe hindsight, but this also could maybe be a key to getting into game 6 and 7, and the Dodgers still having a chance. They were saying that the 18- inning game took more out of the Dodgers than the Blue Jays, because the Dodgers are considerably older of a team. Aren't the Blue Jays like the second or third oldest team? I don't know. I just saw someone say that and I was like, oh, that makes sense.

I didn't look at any facts or, I mean, I should know Freddie Freeman's old. I think it was. Clayton Kershaw is really old. I think it was Buster Only that might have said it, but I think that Blue Jays are old too. Trey Shavage is not old. Not old. He's young. So here's a crazy stat.

You ready for this? Yeah, but to that point, I've never been more wrong about anything. in a baseball series than I was thinking there we go Toronto Blue Jays are the fourth oldest team the Dodgers are the oldest yeah but the Blue Jays have some young some young studs they do

Tray Savage can I give you a crazy stat that's fucking nuts yep there have been two games in MLB postseason history where a pitcher struck out 10 plus total batters struck out five plus consecutive batters struck out 50% of the batters faced allowed fewer than five base runners and earned the win

both those games were by Trey Yassavich. In his first postseason. Yeah. Winner, he did that game five, and he did that in the series against the Yankees, I believe. That is crazy. Insane. He's so good.

Again, this guy, like Max, you know baseball. He, guys don't go from the lowest point of the minors to pitching game five of the World Series in the same season. It's nuts. No. I mean... Because if he was like, if he was, guys who were like true studs, like Paul Skeen's doesn't start at the lowest point. Right?

Does he? Yeah. You still do. You still do. But the more, the bit, in today's game, like, college pitchers especially are getting called up sooner than they used to. But they're normally for shitty teams. Like, it's, it's rare to have.

someone like this come up be so impactful and basically be their ace on a World Series team that's I mean in the driver's seat to win the World Series right now. It's like... Do you think that he's pitching with a little extra motivation to try to beat the team that beat his

Fills? Yeah, he is a Phillies fan. Yeah, he's a Phillies fan. Okay, he can't stand the Dodgers. But if he was a real Phillies fan, wouldn't he then want the Dodgers to blow out the Blue Jays in the World Series so he could be like yeah the Phillies were the second best team in baseball I'm over that I'm excited for the

You're wrong about the series by the way Blue Day did start in the lowest spot but he was there each time for like he had one start in single A He had two starts in double A Like Y Savage started seven games in the lowest rung of baseball and then he started four in A plus and seven

in double A and four in triple A like he was there for a little bit in each level and he just did that all year and then got now he's pitching in the fucking world series and dominating it. Yeah, I've never been more wrong about a series than when the Dodgers won that 18-in-a-game

and I thought to myself, they're just going to win every other game. Yeah. That was such a, it was such like an emotional long night that it felt like the team that win that, they were just going to blow out the other team. But the Blue Jays fucking rock. What were you going to say, Max? You're going to say something.

I forget. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Oh, I was just going to say, like, the Blue Jays are the perfect team right now that, like, they have enough talent that they can win, but they still have this. What's Shrek doing in this studio? PFT's, uh, camera froze. PFT's not here.

Love that. Post Malone. Post Malone. Thank you. Thank you. I'm better now. Thank you. Thank you.

It's going to come back so soon Yeah It's going to come back so soon All right now we're going to have to Now we're trying to pick up Max's thoughts two times I know this is impossible Brutal There's no way he's got his thought

The Blue Jays It's like we took two timeouts Are we keeping all this in You can ice Max Yeah are we keeping all this in Yeah oh yeah Keep it all in But you can absolutely ice max

All right the Blue Jays are the sort of team That in baseball it's like the cliche Team that got hot at the right time But they're not exactly that like they were a really good team all year long. It was just that they were very much under, what? The camera's going. He's doing tricks on it.

You guys keep calling timeouts on me here. Three timeouts in a row. That's a flag. Blue Jays are really good and they're in a good spot that no one really expects them to win. So they're playing really like free right now. And there's so much less pressure on them than the Dodgers and baseball is such a game that's tough to deliver. pressure and the jays are in a great sweet spot right now yeah that very talented team and

they're playing free with nothing to lose i want it to go seven i'll say oh yeah big time wanted to i do i don't want it to ever end i do think it yamamoto's been that's been the the guy i mean that blake snow got hit around a little i didn't really like he's just like that's just like that's baseball it's like dude that was game five of the world series he's like yeah you know things happen that's baseball i fucking hate that i was like yeah it is baseball that that's baseball that's Baseball is something you say in mid-July. That's baseball. How bad would that suck to get the two first batters that you face in World Series game just take you part?

Yeah. Just like absolutely bomb you. I would have to look more at like, I would have to look more at the tape. I would be all right with it if like he made a really, really good pitch. Find it. Let's find the tape. Oh, oh, you're saying of Blake's down. Yeah, I'm saying like of his game. Like if he made a really good pitch, like painted a, you know, breaking ball in the corner and he like, like,

he just beat him or Schneider just beat him. Like that I would be, I was saying, like, I made my pitch. He made it, he made his appearance. That's baseball. Yeah, good hitting beats, good pitching. Yeah, like that's something that I would be like, all right, that's good baseball. That's good baseball. Why are you laughing me?

You're just a twisted teacan. Bottle, dude, he's a bottle. Yeah, you get. What's appropriate. Zach just looks like the sun right now. But if he just had a bad outing and he's just putting meatballs over the plate and he's like, fuck it, that's baseball. Like, that would piss me off.

Yeah. Because baseball is a weird thing. Like, you can do your job and, like, do exactly what you plan on doing, and sometimes you can just get beat. And that's, that's baseball. That is baseball. That's the game we know and love. Wait, what do you say?

It's, all right, wait. Hold on. Can you find, here, I'll send you the clip. Let's watch the clip because maybe we're being mean to Blake Snell. Also, Blake Snell looks like he just needs a nap. mean that like i know that's a mean thing to say to someone like well i got a also kind of looks like tom green i got a counterpoint though isn't isn't saying that's baseball isn't that like the ultimate blake move yeah true it's a big time blake move here max i'll send you the i'm looking at it

the first pitch wasn't that bad 97 up and in on his hands we got some breakdown right now i like this i don't i don't hate that that pitch that's a really that's a really tough pitch to hit good pitch bad result that's a that's baseball pitch that that that's that's baseball pitch that that The first one was that's baseball pitch. Let me see where he was setting up, actually. He was kind of setting up middle, middle. Okay. All right, let me see Vladdy.

I don't know why they're showing me a ball. I don't want to see a ball. Let me see. Oh. It's the second pitch, yeah. Second pitch. Wait, is the first pitch of that's baseball? I mean, that's exactly the spot.

I'm kind of on to that. Yeah, all right, all right. He hit both of his spots there and he just got beat. I said you, him talking to reporters. Let's see the tone that he said it to. Like, I just know that in the game five of the World Series, I just, I think I'd want my God to just, I, I'd d-empt it to you, Max. I think I want my guy to be like, yeah, that fucking sucked. I'm pissed.

I let it one down. I mean, that's what, Bryce Harper says that every time. He just says, like, exactly. He was like, let me think about what Philly fans would want me to say. And then that's what he says, which is almost like, whatever. Oh. You know what you think he's patronizing you? No, he's not.

He's not. But how this game started He should teach a class on like how to How to talk to Philly? Handle Philly media. What do you think allowed them to get to you so early before you were able to settle in? I mean, it really good to me.

It was the first pitch of the game, 97 fastball up and in. That's baseball! That's exactly what I just said. I'm lucky. And then Vlad, that's a, yeah, just a bad pitch down-end fastball. But then after that, yeah, pretty. Pretty smooth sailing, figured out their lineup what they like to do. Then Varsha gets a triple on a 78 exit Velo.

Okay. Just unlucky. Yeah, I mean, I'm not wanting to make excuses or anything close to that, but it's pretty unlucky. Okay, so that's a man that when he gave up that triple, the first thing he did when he went to the dugout was he went over to whatever readout or printout he got or asked a guy like, hey, what was the exit Vila? I want to know the number on that. So I think we're on, we're on Blake Snell's side. That's baseball. Yeah.

And that was a bad play. That was a bad play in right field. But game five. You can't dive for that or slide for it and let that go to the wall. As a Dodgers fan, you're allowed to be mad at that because I sure as hell I think would be mad about that as like if a Philly's pitcher were to say all this after a huge loss. But objectively speaking, I agree with him like that's baseball. Okay, so that's baseball. I'm happy we got to the bottom of that.

Trade Savage is a fucking sad. Yeah, he's a beast He's awesome Pitching We got to do something about pitching Pitching's getting too good There's too many good young pitchers

A lot of runs in this I know, but all the young There's so many young pitchers that are coming up that just have disgusting stuff I'm okay with that Yeah No, I like it

I mean it's not like there's too many good pitchers Yeah dude what are you talking about There's like There's no I think we're good Yeah we've got I think we're in the future is bright spot

I think this is been one of the most entertaining world series in a while. It's been awesome. It has. It has been fucking awesome. It's been so much fun. I had no rooting interest and I'm glued to it. So, yeah, I want seven. I'm so happy that we that we get baseball this weekend. I know. Well, for Friday. I know, but we, that's, that's part of the weekend. Okay, blue jays. Like it would have sucked if there was no baseball.

Like, like, you'll, you'll, everyone's going to Halloween party and they'll be, they'll be baseball on. Yeah, but But we could get more baseball, though, too, yeah. I know, but Friday's big. If we get game seven, we should just save it for Tuesday. Oh, no, that's Maxian. No, we can, we can, I would, I would rather.

Saturday night? Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna watch. No, I would rather Tuesday. Oh, Tuesday, yeah. Or just save it for like, like February. Yeah. What about like that Saturday before the Masters? Yeah, just give it, just give us something.

that we really want when we're in the middle of the winter. That would be like, hey, guess what? Now it's game seven. So there's a storyline. I just want to call a storyline before it happens, which is what I can say, told you so. If the Blue Jays win the World Series, there will be reporters in Toronto being like, you guys aren't going to the White House, right? Oh.

Because the 51st state thing? Yeah. There's going to be like. They're going to go to the prime minister's house. Yeah. Rob Ford. Not Rob Ford. Visit Rob Ford's grave.

This one. Hey, this one's for Robbie Ford. Robbie Ford would have loved this. Yeah, he would have. Yeah, did you see Drake wore his jacket? Yeah. Drake wore the Rob Ford, like, Don Bosco.

Don Bosco. That's awesome. During game one. That's awesome. It was so sick. What a tribute. Yeah. Beautiful tribute.

And he got wings sauce on it and everything. It's great. Look at that. Isn't that cool? The actual jacket. Yeah, R Ford. I don't know if it's the actual jacket, but it, that's got to be so cool to be,

if you're like Drake's level of well, where you can just say, hey, I want to wear the Rob Ford jacket and someone just goes, makes it custom for you in like a matter of minutes. Yeah. Like, here you go. I think that might be the same jacket. I don't know. You think he got gifted that jacket?

I'd say the Drake could probably get his hands on it. The collars you can see are different. Yeah, and something in the arms. And the text on the R. Ford. Yeah. Still sick. It's still really sick. Awesome jacket.

Remember when Rob Ford was like, I don't need to eat her pussy. I've got plenty of pussy eat at home. Yeah. No, he said, I got more than enough to eat at home. I got more than enough to eat at home. And it was in a press conference that he, he, he, it was not about the pussy eating. No, it was about crack. It was about, no, I don't know. It was like about a fight with someone else in the parliament or whatever.

And he, and he basically finished the whole press conference. He was just like, and one last thing. This lady who said I wanted to eat her pussy, I got more than enough to eat at home. That guy's like, dude, what? We didn't even ask about that. Yeah. And one last thing. This one's for Rob.

Can you find that press conference? Can we play that or no? Probably can't. Can we do the audio of it? Yeah, we could do the audio of it. Rob Ford, more than enough pussy at home. The rug doctor. I just love that.

I remember he just said, like, in one last thing. Like, it was like, dude, we didn't need you to say that. But you did. This is going to take forever for Max to find. Yeah, it's okay. Forever. That's right. I don't know why every time he does a search, it's always through X.

like just search that's a good point search it on like i guarantee but then you got to deal with ads no but why are you even too do you know that google exists you just went to youtube like just well the internet just show up on youtube might be a real or something

yeah more enough to you know there you go yeah there you go see okay now we're going to have to watch an ad yep ad right in your face Okay, here we go. Atlanta is not a prostitute. She's a friend, and it makes me sick how people are saying this.

So unfortunately, I have no other choice. I'm the last one to take legal action. I can't put up with it anymore. So I've named the names. Litigation will be starting shortly. I've had enough. That's why I warned you guys yesterday, be careful what you wrote. Okay, so that's all I have to say for now.

and the next thing I want to call Mayor Britannia in Hamilton and tell them that we're going to have to spank their little tiger cats. Oh, and the last thing was Olivia Gondack. It says that I wanted to eat her pussy. I've never said that in my life tour, I would never do that. I'm half to be married. I've got more than enough to eat at home. I love that how before he says that, he looked down at a note.

Yeah, he talks shit about like a football game coming up. And then he looked down on his notes. Oh, yeah, and one last. He's like, the note was like, talk about Olivia's pussy. Yeah. I never said that. And then the reporters being like, what about the drunk driving? Okay, so do it for Rob Ford.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Let's get out of our costume. We do our weekend preview. We have Baldi and then we'll finish with Firefest. Okay, before we get to the weekend preview, Draft King's NFL fans, what's your favorite touchdown?

It is week nine in the NFL. I think it actually is officially daylight savings time. This weekend, remember to set your clocks where he set them forward. Forward. An hour. Yeah. Fall forward. It does happen on Saturday night.

We have week nine. We are halfway through the season. I'm not going to say it yet, but we are. So we're halfway through the season. We also need to have a talk, Hank. We got a problem. All the favorites keep winning by a shitload. Yeah.

So last week, favorites went 11 and 2 against the spread. And that was the best win percentage for favorites in a single week since December of 1985. You say problem. I hear positive. I hear that. It's coming back. Yes. It's the hang. The hungry dog and the head. It's a pendulum. What's the, the Henry dog? Henry dog. This is, uh, yeah, underdogs are at a discount right now. Right? It's what, that's what they say when the stock market bottoms out. It's like stocks are at a discount. Now is the time to invest. Warren Buffett is probably going to be putting a lot of money on the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend. Yeah. Yeah. That's a, that's a big game we're going to get to. Also, before we get into the games on buy. week this week are the Cleveland Browns, the New York Jets, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Tampa Bay Bucks. Memes, you can just soak in that win for another week. I'm excited for you.

What a week to win. Max, are you feeling good about having a buy week? The whole booth is all by. Booth, booth by. All coming off wins, too. And guess what? You guys are still going to do boomers on Sunday. We'll just pick which games you're doing.

I've, I've a feeling I know which game I'll probably be doing. Oh You mean the game of the week? Yeah The Barstall game of the week The Barstall game of the week Memes real quick on the Jets Are they officially raising ticket prices

Even though they're one in seven They have raised Ticket prices Different for each person So I've seen a lot of 11% Seen a lot of 12% But ticket prices have gone up How do they decide

How do they decide how much they're raising it by Person to person? Do you like a credit check? I'm not sure. I saw NYJ Matt on Twitter has got raised 11.28%. 11.28. Yeah.

That's very smart because that sounds like there's a formula behind it. It sounds like they did like a bunch of calculations when in reality it's probably Woody Johnson just being like 11.28 sounds good.

Yeah, it's not quite 11.5. If you talk to a ticket rep but they're like, hey, we're raising it 20%. You're fighting that. Even if they say 10%. Because like that, you're just doing it just to take our money. but 11.2 means that something was calculated.

Yeah, I'm arguing with some, like, Excel spreadsheet right now. I'm arguing with a formula. Yeah. So that's a good segue, because the first game I have on the list is Bears at Bengals. Bears are minus two and a half right now. The over under is 51.5. And there was a post on Reddit of a Bengals fan trying to cancel their season tickets. Yep.

And they said, here's the, here's a post. I called today to cancel my Bengals season. season tickets for next year, and the whole conversation felt super guilt trippy and argumentative. I was asked if I only wanted to be a season ticket holder when we go to the playoffs and am I just being emotional for losing to the Jets. They asked why I was unhappy, so I said that I'm frustrated with the front office, mainly the lack of real scouting department bad drafts and how the prices keep going up steeply every year since I joined.

Instead of just taking the feedback, they got defensive and said things like, this is the front office who drafted Joe Burrow and T. Higgins. The last thing being asked to me is if I wanted cheap tickets or to pay Jamar Chase and T. Higgins. I love this. I think more ticket offices should do this. Just get into a good old argument about draft strategy when trying to cancel season season. When I read this, I thought to myself, there's like a 50% chance at the person that answered this phone call. The ticket rep was Mike Brown.

Yeah. I think this sounds like the words of Mike Brown being like, well, if you're so mad at the scouting department, were you mad when they got all those good players? We got Joe Burrow, we got T. Higgins, we got Jemar Chase. Somebody had to pay those guys. It also would be a very Mike Brown move to be like, I don't want to pay the salary and benefits of a ticket office rep. I'll just do it myself. Right.

He's going to do everything when it comes to this team. He's going to be shooting off the fireworks himself on game day. Yeah. So this game for the Bears side is, I said it last Sunday, this is a must look good on offense game. The Bears offense has not, has been up. down this year. The red zone is the big issue. They have dropped below 50% in red zone percentage. They also get a lot of penalties. This is going to be, if you can't light up the Bengals defense, then I'm going to start having some doubts creep in. Yeah, the defense is suss.

And Chicago, at least in terms of like the explosive plays, the bears are at the top of the league for that. We just can't, we got to get touchdowns. You guys get chunk plays. You're big on the We also have a lot of injuries in the wide receiver room, which hopefully will clear up, but not great. Yeah. What about Olamide? Yeah. How's he doing?

Hold on. I'm going to look at the, because they did another injury report. There was a lot of DNPs. I like checking out on him like he was a, like an old college roommate that I had a great year with. And, you know, I check the LinkedIn once every four years. Yeah. Hear from him every now and again.

I'm like, I'm glad he's doing good. He's a good dude. He's been good. I do kind of wish Luther Burden, used more and that might be his spot Luther Burden does have a concussion so we'll see but yeah right now the the did not practice for the wide receiver room is Luther Burden DJ Moore Roma Dunzee and Olomede so the entire wide receiver room yeah it's tough did not practice it's tough now actually no sorry the last three were limited on Thursday so that looks like those guys will

play and Luther Burden might not because of a concussion and for the bengals Jamar Chase right now is on the the mother of all hot streaks yep in the last four games. So if he gets 10 catches against the Bears then that will be the most catches ever had over a five game span. Right now he's tied with Calvin Johnson over four games. Which is crazy

and we should also pause to put some respect on Calvin Johnson and just remember how great of a wide receiver he was. The best. And how unbelievable he was able to perform in that lion's offense at the time. Who will be throwing the ball to him though? Because it could be Jake Browning. Now

if the Bears, I'll set the stage because I want to be honest when it comes to my reaction on Sunday night's show. If the Bears lose to Jake Browning, I will be very, very upset. If the Bears lose to Joe Flacco in a shootout, I will be, that sucks, but maybe, you know, the offense look good so I can take some positives away. Yeah, I think that's how I'm approaching this game. I think that's fair because with Flacco, listen, Flacco might not be the quarterback that he was 15 years ago, 10 years ago,

but he still understands that if you have Jamar Chase just keep feeding him the ball until they tell you okay this guy he's triple covered now go anywhere else but your game plan with Flacco is like Flacco to Jamar Chase and then just let things happen and the Bears defense is bad

I'll just say it I the cornerbacks are all injured and the pass rush is non-existent they need to take the ball away that's pretty much the only chance otherwise it's going to be a long day because this is an explosive offense, especially if Joe Flacco plays. I will say we did add C.J. Gardner Johnson to the team,

which probably, Max, he was on the Eagles, what, last year? Yes, last year. Still good-ish, maybe. He was good for the Eagles last year. So I like this signing for one reason. I think it's a sign that Ben Johnson is controlling who's on this team. And that's, I've said many times Ben Johnson, since who I trust.

C.J. Gardner Johnson is a good player who's had maybe not the best locker room presence. Is that a fair thing to say? Not always, though. He's a great locker room presence when things are going well. Right. So this is what I'm saying about C.D. Deuce is that this could be a great signing because you will know if you have a good team or if you have a bad team just by his mere presence. Like if he's able to stick around with the bears, that means that you have a good team.

and if he becomes a problem and he gets cut in like two weeks, then you're like, okay, we might kind of suck because C.J. Gardner Johnson can't stand being in his locker room. Right. Because he will be a head case if the team's not good. And I think that that's a sign that Ben Johnson is controlling some of the personnel moves because we have avoided some of the quote-unquote head cases in the past with Ryan Poles making the decisions, I think.

And Dennis Allen was his coach. Dennis Allen was before Dennis Allen was the head coach of the Saints He was the defense coordinator for many many years So he knows him He hopefully he's hopefully a Dennis Allen guy We need bodies in the secondary So this is I'm happy that we got a body Yeah and I spent some time on the NFL penalties

Database that they have online Well I wasn't looking at that But I did look at one stat in particular And that's pass interference So they keep track of all the pass interference It will surprise nobody to know that Joe Flacko and the Cincinnati Bengals are, I believe, in fourth place in the NFL, and Joe's only been there for a few weeks.

The man knows how to draw a pass interference. Big Cat, on the other hand, Chicago has not gained a single yard from pass interference this season. Need to do that. That's tough. You've got to figure that out. Tell Caleb, hey, if you're going to miss a guy, deep downfield, miss him short. Yeah, throw it short.

The bears are the only team in, or sorry, the, the, second most penalties in the NFC to Dallas and they have six plus penalties in all seven games including 11 last week got to clean that stuff up got to work towards me and trying to be a good team this will be a good test I think the Bears win this game but I also I don't know I I don't know here's one good bear stat that memes this is this kind of shocked me teams after playing the Jets are 0 and 7 against the spread this season I don't know if that's, I don't know what that is, but let's just keep it going. Let's keep it going.

I like that. 18 and 37 against the spread over the last four seasons. Something about the Jets. What could that be? Maybe makes you feel like you're really good. Yeah. And then you don't focus enough. You beat the Jets and then, yeah, then you overlook your next opponent.

That's probably what it is. What memes? Or. Or? Actually, no, or. Yeah, you probably do. They're so physical. they take you to the limit okay next game vikings at lions lions are eight and a half point favorites

the over under is sitting at 48 and a half j jay mccarthy time it's officially time he's ready to go how do we feel about j j um should i feel good about j j i don't know does anybody feel good like they they felt great about j j j after the monday night game against the bears felt really good about him after that fourth quarter that might have been the quarter of the year he had a great performance there well no bow necks bo necks yeah giants yeah that was that was pretty good too

but yeah jj look really good in that one quarter yeah and then after that it's like what the falcons game was bad we don't even really know what's happening with jay no idea no idea i think he's healthy i think he he might have been healthy for the last couple weeks i'm basing that all off him jumping over guy on the sidelines but um i have no idea what to expect from jj absolutely none yeah i i don't either yeah if you ask me like hey what are your takes on j jay j he's he's playing

quarterback i think yeah the but the i think is there is there as well they're i think they've done a good job of of limiting our exposure to j j j and now we're going to find out and it's not an easy game we have the lions getting a little healthier off by week dan campbell was asked about how much he is working during bi week or if he's easy to deal with during the by week he said That's a question for my wife. Yeah, I'm saying it's a buy and I'm not working, but I'm working. So the mind is always there, unfortunately, for her. So that means Dan Campbell's thinking about football all the time.

Yeah. He's having sex thinking about football. 100%. Yeah, so that's a tough week in the Campbell House. He needs that release on Sundays. It's just football. He goes nuts. Yeah, I actually, I do think that this might look a lot like that Lions, Vikings playoff game.

Mm-hmm. That's, if I'm doing the visualization exercise and remote viewing this weekend, I see oh wait no the week 18 game you mean week 18 because the Vikings then went and lost to the Rams yeah uh yes that yes yes yeah it was uh it was to decide the one seat I saw January 5th yeah I was like gotta be a playoff game no that was the last week of last season I think it's gonna look similar to that if I had to if I had to put money on it the the lions are in that group there's a few teams where it's like hey the touch the spread is over a touchdown I still feel comfortable yeah I'm they they have that that that that gear

in them, especially off of buy. Brian Branch is back. Brian Branch is back. I think they got a couple other guys back in the secondary. Aiden Hutchinson just got paid. That was smart of them. This is where the lions are, they're, I know

that we all know that they're not the old lions, but like paying Aiden Hutchison before you have to pay them, that's what smart teams do. They don't wait to get to a Michael Parsons situation. I was looking at the comeback player of your stats. I love Aidan Hutchinson for that right now. He's like five to one.

Oh, yeah. I think that's a good bet. I'm going to bet that right now, actually. The, we also have, so if you're JJ McCarthy, you just got to try to get the ball to Justin Jefferson because he has not gotten the ball enough. I saw a crazy stat. Jamar Chase has 64 targets in the month of October. Justin Jefferson has 63 targets in the entire season.

Yeah. Start feeding JJ. Start feeding him. Maybe some of that's on, on the head coach, too. like have him run some of these nice easy drag routes could be carson wince as well could be carson wince who the after management of the carson wince injury has been very funny too because now carson's like no they didn't ask me to go out there and do anything that i was uncomfortable doing he's like having to defend himself like did carson did the vikings did they pressure you to play football

yeah he's like no i i wanted to do it i was really maybe he's got a kink maybe he's into that sort of thing he's he's he's been forced to defend kevin o'connell yeah he's like no i i consensually i asked i was like kevin like choke me daddy yeah Hank stop me if there's any hungry dogs that you like Okay None so far Bengals or Vikings Nope

Okay next up Panthers at Packers It is Packers are minus 13 and a half Overrunners 44 and a half Are we back to Bryce Young? I think he was a full participant I think so

Bryce Young I think we got Bryce Young I'm more concerned about if it's going to be Chuba Hubbard or Rico Dattle Yeah Rico it's it's Rico time it is Rico yeah I don't know with Rico go with Rico always I'm a rider the the other the other big story out of this is essentially what is Romeo Dobbs guardian cap going to look like when we're watching the game on Sunday we saw it in practice the packers are wearing their throwbacks it has the the helmets are the old leather helmet look and Romeo Dobbs has I would say the guardian cap the number one guardian cap yep so there it is he's

got it. It's going to look very funny. I like that. And I think it just keeps getting bigger. It does. The year goes on. And when you have two guys that are both wearing guardian caps at the same time, that's got to be extra confusing for the defense. Yeah. Like maybe one of their guys should just like occasionally put on a guardian cap when he feels like it. And then for a second, a safety is going to be like, oh shit, who's who? Because one of these guys, Romeo Dobbs, that is, look at that noggin. I think I'd be a two guardian cap guy. Yeah. Or is it like condoms where they rub up against each other? Yeah, don't keep your guarding cap in your wallet.

Yeah. And, yeah, make sure that you change it out every now and again. But yeah, it does look like it's for every like this picture gets, I'm going to make Romeo Dobbs' guardian cap even bigger. Mm-hmm. It just keeps growing. I got a blind resume for you. All right.

It's related to the Green Bay Packers. Okay. All right, player A has 346 yards receiving. Okay. And six touchdowns. Okay. Player B has 344 yards receiving and one touchdown. I would take player A.

Okay, that's good. Player A is Tucker Kraft after the catch. Oh. And player B is Kyle Pitts. Oh. So the question for Tucker Kraft, because I dubbed him the best tight end in the league, what tight end is going to have an incredible Sunday to make me look stupid?

Kittles back. Kittle could do it. Yeah, I could see. I mean, you know, like, there's got to be one guy we've got to focus on being like, this is the guy that's going to make that statement look really dumb. Hunter Henry. Tyler Warren. Tyler Warren could do it because then it's like, this guy's next.

He is next up. I'm going to say, I'm Washington from the Steelers. Darnell? Darnel. Yeah. I'm just obsessed with that guy. I am too. Yeah.

I have a stat I don't want to say, but I'm going to say it because we are a national sports podcast. And we do unbiased, uh, previews. Jordan Love is one of three NFL quarterbacks to post in his first 40 career starts, 70 plus passing touchdowns, 25 or fewer interceptions. The other two quarterbacks are Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. I hate that. I hate that. I hate that. But Jordan Love seemingly is pretty good at football.

You should just start going with the line of like do it in the playoffs. Yeah. I want to see it in the NFC championship game. But then people could say, well, the Cowboys game that Hank went to. He lit them up. Yeah. Let him up. Let him up.

Say do it in the NFC championship. Do it, yeah, do it later in the playoffs. Yeah, do it in a way that makes me look correct about you being not as good. Call me, you know what, Jordan Love? Call me in late January. Yeah, there you go. Let me see you do it then, buddy. Until then, I don't give a fuck.

Although he is really good and it's fucking, it's bad. I'm interested. He was, there was a chance that he was so old. He's 34, but it looks like he's going to play for a lot. long time, well into his 40s. I'm interested to see how the, how the Panthers do this weekend. Because I can't get a read on the Panthers. Can't do it.

I'm going to say they're probably going to lose. Yeah. But they've done weird. The Panthers have been a very hot and cold team this year. Yeah. But the cold. The cold is not good. It is cold in Green Bay, yeah.

Yeah. And on the road, at home they've looked okay at times, but they're coming off of absolute drubbing by the bills. Yeah. so yeah i don't think the panthers are going to be live here yeah i'd tucker craft again just that that stat of how many yards he has after the catch is crazy is absolutely crazy he's been a monster an absolute monster okay next up chargers titans chargers are minus nine and a half over under is 43 and a half i don't want to watch the titans play football anymore i said that a lot of

titans fans agreed with me it's a tough tough watch through their first whatever eight weeks the titans offense is overall 32nd run game is 32nd past game's 31st there we go something to build on so the bangles are they last no no no this is their offense oh okay i would imagine the raiders might be last that seems like the raiders that seems like a raiders stat does yeah because i feel like the Titans' defense, at least, up front. They're not bad. Yeah. They can be strong.

Oh, also points 32nd. So not good. Is Jeffrey Simmons back? No, he did not practice. That's a problem. Joe Alt on the Chargers makes the Chargers good. I know it's not that simple. Are we worried at all about Justin Herbert going to too many games? He left early. He went to the Lakers game, and then he went to the Dodgers.

Blue Jays game three. He left early because people were joking that the Dodgers might need him to pitch. And then they pulled up Justin Herbert's senior season ERA, which was 0.66. That's crazy. Pretty damn good. And I also respect the fact that he was wearing the same hat. Yeah, he wears a $40 hat. And he was locked in on the game.

And Madison Beer is really hot. Yeah, that's just Cuban one. And so is Sidney Sweeney in that dress. Anyone that's upset with that is. That's what you want from your QB1 The Sydney dress was I've never seen anything like that In my life

In my life I know that has nothing to do with anything we're talking about It's pertinent It's pertinent It's pertinent Yeah please don't pull it up on this On the screen I can't look at that right now

Do the one where you could I feel very inappropriate Looking at that God it's awesome I would like to look at it Like as a man This dress makes me feel things That I don't want to be feeling at work

Did you see it Hank? Yeah Nipples It's just I mean One word One word Nipples

Two of them Shout out God You've done it again Big Buddy Oh my That's just Bravo Great job Sydney

We're big fans Of Sidney On this podcast I am not a horny man I wasn't I wasn't a horny man Until Until now

I'll just I mean we've said this before It's actually a dateer Dude boobs This is I mean They fucking rock. Look at that. They simply incredible.

They just rock. That's a 100% milk. It's awesome. Yeah. How much do you think it would cost to have her do like a celebrity guest batch for the ice cream machine? Oh, PFT. I'm just saying. I'm just saying how much.

You just said you're not a horny man. No, no. That was insane. You actually ruined the Sydney Sweetie patient for me. I don't want to see it anymore. I said I wanted, I said I was not a hornie man. horny man. I don't want to look at the picture anymore. That sounded so fucking horny.

Until just that. Yeah. I am very horny. Yes. When this picture, when that dress is on the screen, like that is it is the best dress I've ever seen in my entire life. Dear God. And you, that was a Titans preview. Yeah. Hank, remember when you drank breast milk? Mm-hmm. That was funny. That's a throwback.

Long time ago. Long time ago. I was like 12 years old for the record. I mean, oh, yeah, you were 12. I forgot if it happened. You told the story, but it was, yeah. What was it again? I was on a family trip. So we were like, we had a bunch of groceries in the fridge and I was making, uh, I was making cereal.

And I was grabbing milk and there was like, I had a little cousin that had like a formula breast milk in it. And I poured that in. This is disgusting. After I ate it all, I was like, oh, no. Oh, you ate it all. all? Yeah.

And you, the whole time you're like, this milk doesn't taste great. Yeah, I was like, this is gross. Oh, man.

Yeah, you were 11. That's fine. It probably made you stronger. Yeah. Probably made you better the man you are today. I think the Chargers

are going to win. I, would you guys say, should we put this game on the, there's eight games early. Should we put this game on the side TV? Yeah. This is side TV material.

Side TV. Yeah. The Keenan Allen is three, four away from having the Chargers record for receptions. If anyone's looking for that, I know it's great storyline. Yeah. I, yeah, he'll probably

get it. Yeah, I'll probably get whatever they want in this game. I would say so. And I guess the only storyline that like this is how this game, the Titan season is so bad that the storyline for this game is that Mike McCoy, their interim head coach, once

coached the Chargers. Yeah. And we all remember the Mike McCoy-led Chargers it was kind of sad it was actually all right so here's low tea here's the interesting stat Mike McCoy was the last San Diego Chargers head coach yeah yeah we talked about that a couple years ago that's what we know this man from is he's the last person and coach uh San Diego this man is uh it's Halloween week this he looks like he's the slutty version of Joe Philbin mm-hmm that's the nicest thing you can say about Mike McCoy yeah Hank your game next Patriots, how are we feeling?

Right now, the Falcons are five and a half point underdogs. The overrunner is 44.5. I mean, I'm worried about a letdown spot, but I'm overriding that worry and going full confidence. Michael Pennix should be back. Kirk Cousins wants to be treated. I can't trust the Falcons at all. They beat the bills not too long ago.

But he does feel like this is. is a the the five and a half is a weird line it's it's a weird line and it also to me that either means blowout or loss should we bet it that way and I'm going blowout yeah should we bet money line or Patriots minus 12 and a half probably do like eight and half nine and a half blowout would be I mean really a blow would be two touchdowns but I feel like if we if we have the 10 points in there you should do nine and a half I'll do nine and a half is this desperation time for the Falcons they need to win this is a Desperate team going up to Foxborough, they have to win this game kind of to keep, because the bucks are on by.

They're six and two. If you go, if you fall to three and five, the NFC South feels a little, like it feels out of reach. It's out of reach, yeah, at that point. It's a big game. I think that they're going to feed Bijan. I think that they should. The Patriots, remember that stat Hank that you guys haven't allowed a 50-yard rush for this season? Is that going to continue this weekend?

I think so. So limit Bajon. I asked Big T this earlier as a Falcons fan. tell me what you guys think. Would you trade Bajan Robinson for Sean McVeigh? Yes. Sean McVeigh head coach. I feel like that's the biggest no brainer of all time.

He said no. I would. Because the Falcons are always going to be the Falcons and at least now I get to watch Bajon. Sean McVeigh could coach. You'd have to, I would say yes, as long as Sean McVeigh agreed that he cannot retire for like a decade. I would say like seven to ten years of Sean McVeigh. That seems like the easiest no-brainer at all. I'd do it.

Hank, would you like to say humble about the Patriots? No. Okay. Well, Drake May is, so you should probably take his lead. Yes,

he should. He said on remaining humble, he just tries to stick to his routine. He's got a pretty, I've got a pretty tight circle in my life. So just keep on talking to those people. Don't lose sight of putting in the work throughout the week to have that show up on Sundays. You would not like to follow his lead and be humble.

Be humble. Nah. Okay. Yeah, no. I want to give the opportunity. I'm happy. I'm happy my quarterback's like that.

I'm not the quarterback. I'm a fan. That's a correct mentality. Yeah, let him do that. Gillette's going to be rocking. I enjoyed seeing a lot of the Patriots players where, you know, because the last four years they haven't been great. There's been some somewhat decent games.

But again, in New England it's like championship or bust. The crowd hasn't been insane. Last week was the first time, like, they experienced a crowd that is really excited and they were pumped up about that. And I think, you know, obviously coming off that win, it's going to be even crazier this Sunday. So I think it's going to be a blowout. I'm so glad that football is back in New England.

Yeah. Like that was a tough couple years. It really was. Hank has said, rebuilding is hard. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Mentally, it's like I don't, it's, you don't even want to watch football. Right.

It takes that. Don't even watch football. Exactly. You associate. But then when you're good, it's like there's nothing more exciting than Sunday. Yeah. Now you love all football. Yeah.

You're back in on football. Well, you've got to see. It's like, are we going to play this team in the playoffs? We're going to play this team in the Super Bowl. Yeah. Where are we at? That's how you're watching these games You're going for six straight right now

Do you know how many winning streaks of six games or more The Patriots have had this millennium Since the year 2000 I would guess six or more Nine You've had 15 of those winning streets I guess there's probably years where they had six Lost and then went six again

Yeah and so this would be your six team I was thinking one year But there's definitely been probably multiple times within that They've had six in the same season This would be your 16th winning streak. They also had a 23 in there. Yeah. That's awesome.

Yeah, it is. It's really, it's, I'm, I'm so happy for you. Thank you. Yeah. Are you feeling better about your Super Bowl bet? Yeah, way better. How many more years does you have on that? Two more years, yeah.

This year and next year, right? Yeah. We did some trade this year. We got a lot of room. I think we're going to make a move before the deadline. Things are, things are looking up. What move would you like to see? I don't know.

I think Brable is going to go defensive. The moves we made were defensive And we got rid of some defensive contracts Frable's a defensive coach So my gut tells me like he's going to go defense And I trust Brable I'm not I'm not smart enough to be a GM In Brable you trust

But in Brable we trust Okay Next game Giants Niners Niners are minus two and a half Overrunners 48 and a half That's your dog I kind of like that one That's a hungry dog alarm

Yeah. I like that. Yeah. Hoof, whoof. Hoof. It's also the New York Giants wearing the throwback uniforms. Love it. Which is that's got to be worth three points.

Love it. Love it. Have you, I read an article that Cam Scadabo has just been wheeling around the Giants facility after having surgery earlier this week. He's definitely going to try to play with one leg. They're going to have to keep him out of like, you know that he's not someone who can be like, all right, I guess I'm not going to be here. Oh, wait, those are the throwbacks? Don't love it. I heard that they don't love it.

I thought you were saying throwbacks from like the 80. Those are like, I don't know, no, no, no, no, no. I don't think this is it. I heard that they were going to wear the Giants. I heard that they were going to wear the Giants ones that say Giants on the helmet. Yes, those are the helmets they should always wear. Yeah. Those are nice.

Come on, Matt. I mean, I just searched Giants uniform. I don't even know if this is true. Giants throwback. But you don't think they're even doing it? No, I'm telling you, it's the giant's. giants with the giants on the side. Yeah, yeah, it's the good ones. I love those helmets. Those helmets are awesome. They should never wear another helmet. That helmet is so, that helmet is going

to be at midfield. Fuck yes. Yeah, it's going to rock. It's this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's this one. Yeah, with Camp Scataboo, I am not surprised at all at the fact that he's like, treating it like it's Mario Kart. He's probably got three balloons tied to the back of it. He's just running into people. Yeah. He's like, hey, coach, let me just, can I at least go practice squad with my scooter? Yeah. And need to do it. Any fall. out Max from Hank basically besmirching Big Dom. I got, I got,

can I before Max speaks, because I, I was thinking about this actually in the shower. Oh, you were thinking about Big Dom while naked. It hit me. No, I was thinking about Max because I,

I think I read, Oh, you're thinking about Max while naked. This is based off of a, a subtle chirp I made off camera because I know this podcast. I know we have relationships. I know, but I'm saying like I don't,

I would not jeopardize relationships on this podcast. I made a joke internally. Max then brought it to the podcast publicly and forced me to say what I said. I would have never said that publicly. But we're not going to jeopardize because we, PFT myself and Max, we love Big Dom with all of our hearts. So there's no like, yeah, could you be wearing cement shoes? Fine. I don't care.

Also, was that that was never brought, that was never public? No. What was the original comment? He's doing it all for sure. But that was like I could have swore that you said that on this show No, we were, I think it was on grit week I don't know where it was

It was either grit week or the Super Bowl It might have been the Super Bowl It might have been in your sleep that you said it No, but I just know that it like hit me I was like I don't know why Max like made this public Like obviously once he did I'm not going to back down But I also was not trying to like I could have swore that you

That was a public take that you had So really it's Max's fault Yes It's Max's fault Max, you, Max, screwed Max. You guys were... Yeah, Max, it sounds like it's your fault for making Hank say his thoughts. Memes gonna find it.

He was on the case. Memes on. No, I think that we've swore that this was public. Max, if Hank told you that off the air, I completely would agree with you being like, hey, what about that take that you told me about Big Dom? Yeah. Hank should have never told you that. Correct.

That was public to me. Yeah. You saying, you, you going after Big Dom to Max, private or public is public. you were, yeah, Hank, you can say that to us and we probably wouldn't bring up. No, you guys were, we were all there. Yeah, but we probably had microphones. You knew that Max is wearing a while.

Were we all, were we all sitting in this room with microphones in front of us? No, we are sitting in New Orleans. With microphones? No. Wait, so you said this when we, after we met Big Dom? And he, oh, my. Now you're, you're, you're, you're getting yourself a bigger hole. I don't give a fuck about the hole I'm digging myself.

I'm just saying, like, I disavow. I would have not, like, again, I don't know this guy This is also got brought up because my brother texted me on Wednesday morning and was like Hank actually crossed the line I guess I knew Henry Lockwood But we weren't particularly close

In passing I might have I might have shared a meal with him one time But I didn't know him like that Hank Luckwood this is a first I'm hearing of that name Billy's come back Memes is on the hunt right now He thinks that this has been public before What else

is new. What game did Big Dom... The Niners. Niners. No, the Washington Commanders, Zachert's, fight. Remember? Nick Siriani Handshake? Oh, yeah, that would be...

And then Big Dom was just in the picture, and I think that's when Hank said it. Maybe, was that the Thursday night game last year? Was that the... I know what I said in reference to it. Okay, that was November against the years. It was off air, so I'm not going to bring it on air, but it was a ridiculous statement by Big Dom. okay well uh just to be clear and all i said was that was ridiculous what like what a ridiculous person when i met big dom i did not take a mental log of every word that he said i did we did not

record him i was having no part in that nope uh my only takeaway was that big dom was nothing but a perfect gentleman in our encounter and i have nothing but the utmost respect i i respect him too that's where i feel like i'm not like i'm not i'm not trying to be a hater don't you don't use the r word because you don't mean it. And when I met Big Dom, what did I tell you, Max? What was my reaction? My off-camera reaction to be the Big Dom. I think you said you were willing to trade valuable players of the commanders for Big

Yes. I'm so upset that Big Dom is in the division because I love him so much. And I hate having him working with a team that's directly opposed to mine. I respect the fuck out of Big Dom. Yeah, no. Hank just likes to be contrarian. That's what it is. Everyone likes Big Dom and you're like, I don't like that everyone likes Big Dom. Dead wrong.

Was it? No. But whatever. I don't really care. Either way, you've crossed the line that you can never come back from. Yeah, I guess I won't be going to fill any time soon. Oh, no. Would you like to apologize to my brother?

No, fuck your brother. Hank stands on business. This game, is Brock Purdy going to play? I think. Maybe. I think, yeah, I think, and I think, is Ricky Pearsall go to play? I think. Okay, yeah, that's kind of where I'm out with this, too.

Let me see. I'm going to look up their injury report. I like, I agree with you, Hank. I kind of like the Giants in this game. Hungry Dog. I think people are making two, obviously Scataboo is a big loss, but I think they're making too big a deal of it. Scatterboos, and if Brock Pretty comes back, I almost think that's better.

I think Scatterboos probably volunteering to be like, can I do scout team? Could I be like scout team, Chris McCaffrey? Yeah. Let me help out any way I can. I'm looking up the injury report. I don't see it. Go ahead. I think I like the Niners in this game. I think. But for me right now, not knowing about Brock Purdy and not knowing about Ricky Pearsall. If both of those guys are playing, I think I like the 49ers. But if one of the two of them isn't, then it's like I'll probably won't bet this game. Yeah, I'm going to probably bet this game because it's on. If we're just being honest right now, Well, I'll do like the over-under.

Yeah. I'm just, yeah, it's going to probably happen. Can someone find that? All right, wait, I got it. Brock Purdy, where is he? Where is he? Brock Purdy, limited in practice. So he's practicing.

So that's good. Okay. I guess. And then what was your other question? Ricky Pearsall. Did not practice. Okay. That was Wednesday's report.

We don't have Thursday's report yet. Okay. That comes out a little bit later. The Falcon should trade Kirk Cousin to the Niners. I think Kirk Couss are going to go back to the Vikings Depending on how J.J. McCarthy plays this week. Yeah, I mean, the Vikings had Kirk Cousins. They had Sam Donald.

They had Daniel Jones. Jackson Dart, by the way, said that in the QB room, it feels like he has two big brothers. He definitely likes James' as his big brother more. Yeah. That's two brothers and you have a favorite. I think it's more like stepbrothers, where James is obviously the stepbrothers.

Why? Huh? Why stepbrothers? Well, I was going to explain it. Like the movie stepbrothers. Oh. Where if he's John C. Riley, then James would be Will Farrell. And then the older brother that's the accountant or whatever that's got the family, that's Russell Wilson.

That makes sense. Why were you so curious to know which? I guess I should have let you finish. Yeah. He's a brother that stepped up. That's James. Yeah, I like the giant. I just don't know where the Niners defense is just, it's not good.

No. And it's really banged up. And the Giants, it would be so, I mean, if the Giants still had Scatabo and Malik neighbors, this team would be a true fun watch. Must watch. Yeah. Okay, here's a must watch team. The Colts, who are the best team in football versus the Steelers who are desperate for a win.

The Colts right now are sitting at minus three over anders 50 and a half. The Colts are so, so good. Their offense is absolutely electric. They are, like, they're just well-rounded all the way through. Daniel Jones ranks in quarter, he's first in everything in the AFC South. That's a given. They're going to win the AFC South. Shane Steichen feels like maybe coach of the year.

Yep. Right? And I don't really like, the Colts are just really, really good. they've scored 270 points with a plus 116 point differential through eight games. Since the 1970 merger, the quarterbacks to accomplish his feet are Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, John Elway, and now Daniel Jones. Yeah. What a grouping.

And if you look at the breakdown of when those points get scored, I think they only have a plus five point differential in the fourth quarter. So they take their foot off the gas, too, at the end. It could be even bigger than that. Well, did you see Shane Seichen actually had an. interview that was interesting he he was talking about taking the ball first because a lot of teams will defer and he said yeah we like to take the ball first we like to score seven and then just puts all the pressure on the other team and they've done that yeah like that that's kind of what

they've been doing is just putting all the pressure on him i think it's like belichick saying i like to get i like to defer and then i like to score get the ball at half time and then score again yeah i think every other football coach out there is like yeah we should do it the belich we should do that The middle eight is important. The only thing I could say for this game in defense of the Steelers is, one, this does feel like the desperate Tomlin needs a win. If they have anything left in the Tomlin Steelers mojo where they win these types, this is the game because they lost it on Sunday. This is the game as underdogs at home. And the other thing, and this is a minor thing, this is the Colts first game.

on with some like kind of bad weather and and I I don't know how the weather is actually going to be on it on Sunday in Pittsburgh but the field is obviously always a mess they've played in domes I think their only other road game was in Tennessee in September which is you know field turf trying to think where else they I think everything else has been in domes because they played against the chargers in a dome they played against the Rams in a dome they play in a dome. So is there anything to be said for their offense playing on artificial turf in controlled environments? Could they be slowed down a little bit? I don't know. I'm just throwing out thought starters. Yeah, it's a good thought. It's a good thought to have. The

Steelers' defense looks so bad, though. I'm not sure if it matters where they play this game. Yeah, I agree. But you're right about the Mike Tomlin thing. We tried to time the Mike Tomlin thing because last week felt like the Mike Tomlin game where everyone's so down on them after what happened against the Bengals. And then you try to time that out. didn't hit last week, but much like daylight savings time, we're just going to repeat that it's going to happen this upcoming weekend. And it feels, I could see it happening. Yes, I could definitely see with the Steelers being like, ironically, a very desperate team right now, even though in the division, if you just looked at the records, you'd be like, okay, Steelers are going to run away

with this. Yep. But nobody's actually, no one's thinking that because they see the Ravens. We don't happen, we don't know what happened on Thursday night, but it does feel like the Steelers are just like teetering right now, and if they lose a couple more games, everything could just fall apart. According to Shane Stuyck and the records are actually zero and zero. He said the season doesn't start until November and December. Yep. So it is zero, zero.

It's a good mentality. Yep. The if the season ended though right now, the Steelers would have the worst defense, total defense rank in franchise history. They're 30th right now. The second lowest was 28th in 1988. That's pretty crazy. We also had

a really bad chart go out over the week which was the which teams go for it when they should chart and the Steelers are they have gone for it five times they have a zero percent added win probability they just don't go for it when they should

It makes sense if you've watched it. Did you see the chart? I've not seen the chart but I can tell you from watching Mike Tomlin this year it's as bad as it's ever been and which teams go for it when they should chart. Aaron Rogers getting upset at Mike Tomlin seems to have no effect on Mike Tomlin's decisions. Yeah, it's just, this is the frustrating thing to watch a Steelers game. He's just going to punt in every fourth day.

He basically coaches like it's still 1985. I don't know if you can find it. I'll try to, whatever. It's a bad chart. The Steelers are at the very, very bottom. And it's not even close to bottom. They're just the worst team by far in all of this stuff. So one unofficial metric that I've been looking at is the desperate renegades that they're playing in Pittsburgh.

They're playing renegade earlier and earlier in the fourth quarter this year because they feel like they have to get it out there because the game might get away from them. So you'd have a renegade and you just, you'd waste it if you're losing by 14 points with two minutes left or three minutes left in the game. They're playing Renegade. I think they played it with about 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. And then everyone was like, oh, are we going to get double Renegade? is this just the first because it's so early and no, they just get single Renegade but they feel like they have one in their

pocket, they have to burn it. It's sad. I saw the take from Max, he's not going to be able to find it. It's fine. It's fine. It's not a Google guy. Not a research guy. He's that research guy. I saw the take, I think it was actually from Jerry's co-hosts on the Steel Here

podcast, Kevin. He said that he thinks they should stop playing Renegade because all it does is pump up the other team. I disagree. that. But I would agree with Steelers fan. I would agree with them saying there it is. Take Renegate away because you have to earn the privilege

to have Renegate played and this defense is unrenegatable. Yeah. Okay, here it is. Look at this. It's an insane chart to look at and just seeing how backwards the Steelers are when it comes to going for it when they should and trying to add win probability

that they are just not doing. Shout out the Raiders though. Yeah, Raiders go for it. Raiders, yeah, the lions go for it. The Raiders go for it. But yeah, the Steelers are basically not even on the chart. So a couple other things about this game. One, have you seen some of the screenshots of the Colts offensive line? I saw one chart the other day that was awesome.

No, a screenshot of like the holes. No. Oh, yes, yes, yes. This to me, this is whole of the year. Yeah. New award in the takies, whole of the year. A truck could go through it. A truck could drive through that.

And it is, it's so, I actually think that any of us in this room could have gotten a three-yard gain on that carry. They're just moving dudes on the offensive line. Yeah. And yeah, the Colts offense is, it's just like a complete machine right now. And then the second thing is that Carly Ursae seems like she is maybe the best owner in sports. Oh, she's awesome. Like listening to her talk because she did, shout out to her for doing questions with the media. I feel like every owner, it should be mandated.

Yep. As a matter of fact, I know Jerry Jones gives away for free, but it should be mandated that every owner after every game has to sit up there and answer questions about their team, just like the coaches, just like the players do. And she was talking about why she gets on the headset, what she's learning. She seems like she might be a fucking genius. She's the best. Yeah. We also need to buy some Jim Mercery guitars.

Yeah, so that was going to be my fire fest. Okay, all right. So we'll save it for that. We also had the Pittsburgh radio host Got his nipples pierced Which we all expected He looked like the happiest guy ever He loved it

He loved it He's like oh no Loved it No I The Colts offensive line is so good That I saw this visualization Where it was basically EPA Added

Depending on where you run the football So it was like outside the tackle In between the tackle and guard So some a lot of teams were You know oh they run it left It's negative EPA. They run it right. It's positive EPA.

The Colts were just positive EPA all over the place. Everywhere. It was insane. Yep. There's no way you're going to find this chart, Max. It's fine. I explained it. Max Googling is.

Shout out Zach. He got that last one. Okay, let's keep moving. Broncos at Texans. This is a sneaky. This will be a good game. Yeah. I'm excited to watch this game.

Well, I think it's going to be, this is going to be a throwback game. Okay. If you like awesome defense. Yeah, so Texas are minus one and a half over under is 39 and a half. Oh, he found it. Look at you, Max. How cool is this chart? I fucking love charts.

Zoom in on the Colts. I love charts. So you can see in this chart, shout out Ray Carpenter. I don't know. Can we put these kind of stuff in YouTube if we shot them out? Yeah. All right. So put it in the YouTube.

Everyone please subscribe to the YouTube. We actually get some of these graphics in there. Ray Carpenter does a great job. I just like happen to see it and then and make sure you put in Sydney Sweeney's too. Yeah. This is the most.

Max, please close out. Just like this is what we are on the computer right now. If you're listening just to the podcast, on the computer that PFT and I have a look. There's a monitor in front of us that Max controls. It's just a chart with where you run the football, man stuff and Sydney Sweeney's tits. And also in the chart,

it's dumbed down for us to the point of it's like red and green. depending on if something is good or bad and the Colts are just all green So I understand that to be like That's a good rushing attack Yeah every single Every single place they run the ball They do it well

And then I see Sidney Sweeney to the side Yeah And then I'm I'm all green Green Yeah you're all good Like go go yeah Like my personal chart looks like the Colts chart Right now my spray chart

But you know what I'm saying Yeah Just yeah this is a stop talking moment Yeah Okay The Texans of Broncos Texans minus one and a half Overrunners 39 and a half

Is this a hungry dog? I think the Broncos are going to win this game I do too It seems like a sucker Seems like a sucker hungry dog Well I think the one concern And we're going to get to this with Baldy Is Patrick Stratan being out

Definitely makes me a little nervous But I'm going off of the same reason I had last week That had me bet the Texans When they play pass rushes that are not good, they are going to do okay. When they play pass rushes that are good, Broncos are one of them.

They're going to struggle. So I'm going to take the Broncos defense. Now, this also does feel like walking into a Broncos finally put four quarters together trap, and they're going to revert back to the fuck around for three quarters and hope they can win the game. Well, but I'm going to take the Broncos. Yeah.

So, yeah, since that, since that 26 to 8 lead that the Giants had, the Broncos have outscored their opponents 69 to 31. So that might have been like a turning point for it. But I do think that both these defenses are very, very good. And I think that the Texans defense is going to frustrate the Broncos' offense. I think the Broncos defense is going to frustrate the absolute fuck out of the Texans defense. So I agree. I like the Broncos in this game a lot.

But I don't particularly love this to be a lot of points. I think the overrunner, what did you say? 39.5. So, yeah, yesterday I put in the bet like a remind me of that. this. I don't want to have to wake up on Sunday and remember to bet the under, but I'm taking the under in this game. Okay. The Mercedes-Lewis, by the way, signed with the Broncos. He's 41 years old. He's going to catch like three touchdowns. It's awesome. Yeah. He, and he was telling a funny story that he said when he was a rookie, Fred, what, Fred Taylor said on his first

practice ever with the Jaguars, Fred Taylor said to him, if you block like that, you're going to play a long time in this league. Love that. He knew. He was like, yeah, this is why I'm still here. I could block the hell out of the position. He already knew. Yeah.

Okay. Let's see. Next up, we have a game I actually kind of forgot existed. And I sat down to do the pro football football show with Fred Smoot and John Gruden. And I looked at it. I was like, oh, shit, this game is happening. So we maybe don't have to spend that much time on it. It's the Jaguars and the Raiders.

They're playing. They're playing. the Jaguars and the Raiders are playing a game on Sunday that I don't have any interest in watching but it will be on because there's only three games in the afternoon the Jaguars and the Raiders the Raiders are two and a half point underdogs the overrunners 44 and a half

both teams are on a buy so you have that weird like oh we forgot they are still around but they are still around I don't know I don't know Brock Bowers is back I was talking about this game on Wednesday I think And I said out loud, I said, Pete Carroll after a buy. And like that meant something.

It just sounded like it would mean something. And then you look it up and Pete Carroll is 8 and 10 after a buy. So he's not a buy guy. And the Jaguars are 3 and 7 after the buy in the last 10 years. But are these same old Jags? Yeah, I think so. I think these Jags are a little bit better. I think they're a little bit better.

You're right. Yeah. Okay. Let's sell this game. whoever loses this game is going to be feeling really bad really bad like if the Jaguars lose this game they're going to be

feeling really bad but they're both teams it's like if they lose this game this is back to what they know yeah true and the Raiders are kind of in what they know right now they're just not good and maybe Gino will do better off of a buy

yeah Tyler Lockett's on the Raiders now that's big there's big reunion Pete Carroll, Gino Smith, Tyler Lockett, he's one of his best friends. Get Marshawn back there, too. That might make him feel happy. Yeah. So, Brock Bowers, would you say about him?

He's back. Okay. Yeah, that's huge. That's huge. Okay. We're going to see how many different ways the Raiders can get the ball to Brock Bowers this week. There's also some weird Brian Thomas trade mumbling. Noise.

Yeah. That would be kind of weird if they traded him. They just drafted him. It would be very strange. He is good. He just needs to catch some. ball over the middle. I wonder, like a lot of distractions in Vegas. We'll see. If he has a, if he has a good game this weekend, I might be buying back in on Brian Thomas. Yeah, I'm not,

I'm not selling on Brian Thomas right now. I guess it depends on what the hall would be, but I, I would want a Brian Thomas on my team going forward. Liam Cohen has put a ban on any, any players on the team from going to a casino, even having dinner at a casino. So I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing probably a good thing are they staying in a casino i doubt it yeah i doubt it but also kind of every hotel in las vegas is a casino there's some great restaurants in las vegas that are in casinos and the the jaguars won't be a lot to eat at any of them so it's a band i think that's why it might be a bad thing like if you're at offensive lineman you go to vegas and your coach is like you cannot go to the win buffet that's got to be a big time bummer yeah

you got to you got to just get every you got to just rent out the win buffet for the whole team. Yeah. And be like, this is how we're going to do it. Yep. Shod Khan should just purchase the win, close down the casino for one night. Yeah. And be like, okay, boys, you can hit the buffet and then sell it back.

Must win a game. Do it, shot. Okay, the other, before we get to the game of the week, the other afternoon game, Rams Saints, Saints are going with Tyler Shuck, Rams are off a buy, Puka's back. Rams are going to kill them. we're not believing in Tyler Shuck on this podcast. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm ambivalent. I want, I want, I want Tyler Shuck to, uh, I'm going to make you prove it to me, buddy.

Yeah, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, come on, buddy. Otherwise, listen, if Tyler Shuck has, uh, I'm going to say it, if he throws three picks, I'm going to say, bring back Spencer Rattler. Okay. Three picks is my line. Yeah. By the way, Matthew Stafford also left the game early. on Tuesday night.

Was it Tuesday night? Yeah, Tuesday night. No, Monday night. Monday night. And then he said that he got, he drove, he left in the 10th, drove home and still got to watch a good amount there. Sounds like he didn't stay up. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow. You have no reason not to stay up if you're in the West Coast. The game ended at midnight. Yeah, not that bad. That's ridiculous. Well, unless if you're dating Madison Beer, then you can, you can leave. You can leave. Yeah. Yeah. Do you know how old Tyler Shuck is? He's like 29. He's 26. Yeah, not good for a rookie quarterback

Yeah, the next Brandon Whedon is what they're calling them Don't let them near any big flags No Stuck, that's still is just That's something that when I'm like 80 years old In a nursing home I'll just be sitting and someone be like Why are you laughing?

I was just thinking about Brandon Whedon getting stuck under that big flag Pretty patriotic Yeah Well now I think that when the Saints of the Rams play They should always have to play in New Orleans Yeah Just so that the Super Dome crowd can remind the world and Sean McVeigh about that pass interference. Yes, yes.

Okay, game of the week, bills plus two and a half at home against Chiefs, over under's 52 and a half. Now, our guy Maxi has won the Draft Kings game of the week, bonus bet, $10,000 bonus bet. You will be on stream with your $10,000 bonus bet. What are you going to bet? I don't know. It's going to be a parlay for sure. Hank's got to leave he doesn't want to hear you win he literally is leaving the minute

the minute we talk about Max doing getting something nice Hank just like I gotta go He didn't by the way That was crazy He's not here He definitely said a lot of shit about big dogs Oh yeah That I yeah

Mimes is on the hunt right now by the way He has all of it It's a very powerful weapon So you agree that you think he said that publicly Yeah I think it was just one of those Like you guys were talking highly of them And he just was one of those Disagree to

Disagree. Yeah, did that. Eh. Whatever. We love Big Dom in this room right now. Yeah, no, I'm going to do a little parlay. I feel like you don't get a chance is to win, like, big money like that very often. So I need to be a little risky with it.

Not super risky, a little risky with it. Okay. Are you leaning, though? Tell us what type of game you're leaning. Because obviously you have to build it off of, hey, I think the bills are going to win. Hey, I think the chiefs are going to win. Hey, I think it's going to be high. high scoring. Hey, I think he's a low scoring. What are you building it off of?

You're thinking way more than I'm thinking about that. Well, that's how you start. Like, you can't, you can't do like a bunch of overs and touchdowns and then be like, well, I actually really like the under. What I've been looking is that is, I don't know. I like, I like Kareem Hunt if Isaiah Pacheco is not playing. That has been, I'm looking at number. I'm looking at numbers right now. and looking at what numbers stick out to me. And I've seen, I don't know. I don't know what I'm thinking.

I just found out about this like 20 minutes before we started recording. So I haven't been able to really, really dive into it. Okay, we're done talking about Max's bonus bet so Hank can come back in the road. What is James Cook's over under for that game? A lot. A lot. Is it super high? But like I'm worried about like a huge rushing.

I'm worried about a huge rushing over. in case the bills go down early and then the script although I guess I'm kind of thinking that way for both sides You're thinking both sides of every bet right now Yeah I'm thinking of like the worst case scenario Of like everything that I play Yeah you're caught in a giant sandwich right now Like I like you know what I mean

Like if the chiefs go up early and they have to abandon the run Like then you're then I'm just dead like right from the start What about the bills tight ends? I like the bills tight ends But the problem with the bill's tight ends is that they have like all of them that look exactly the same. And I don't want to bet. I don't want to be in a situation where I'm going to cheer for fake Dalton Kincaid. That is an issue.

Yes. I've thought of I'm thinking. I'm thinking. And everyone none of it seems, none of it makes me comfortable. He's already thought too much. Max, don't take this the wrong way, but you are one of those guys. No. I wasn't to say dumb.

I was going to say when you think too much, it, there's. It goes backwards. Yeah, agreed. There's the return of the ROI goes down when you start thinking too much. Agreed. Yeah, I mean, it cooked to get 100, 100 plus yards is plus 115. Okay, what about, what about Khalil Shakir? What about his receptions?

Reception, like, these are the things that are good, but then, but what? Hey, so let's talk about the game real quick. Mahomes against Allen in the playoffs. Mahomes wins in the regular season, Josh Allen wins. He's four and one, Josh. Yeah, he's four. and one and then I like the bills in this game I like the bills in this game I do okay the bills the chiefs do look like they're the best team well no the cult's the best team in football they're going

to win the suit the chiefs are going to win the soup bowl they mohomes talked about it he said talking about last year because they were 15 win team he said I know the record's not as good but it's a lot more fun and I feel like you can feel that by watching the chiefs they're having a lot of fun things are clicking their defense looks good their offense looks really good are the bills going to have enough defense in this game i don't know i i think that they should just based off history i feel like they should because the regular season that's the big difference between the regular season chiefs bills matchups and the playoff chiefs bills matchups in the regular season their defense has been much better than in the playoffs um

I would say, I would say I would lean to the bills too. Yeah. James Cook is averaging six yards per carry. Pretty, pretty good. Mm-hmm. Now, do you think, as some have said, that the commanders might have given a blueprint on how to beat the chiefs based on... Their first half?

The first, especially the first quarter, but yeah, the first half. Hmm. I'm going to say no. Patrick Mahomes, two interceptions. That's true. Where do they both, at least one was tipped? One was tipped. Okay.

Some are saying blueprint, though Blueprint, yeah, holding seven points in the first half. Okay. You know what? No, I'm going to change my opinion to yes. No, it's okay. You said I forgot the two interceptions. Two interceptions is a, didn't Baldi say?

I think he said there was first time two interceptions the first quarter. Ever happened. Ever happened. Yeah, that's blueprint. But you didn't win the game. That's the only problem with the blueprint. Yeah, but you just got to do the first quarter for four quarters.

That's what a blueprint is, though. But that would have just gone to overtime. That's, no. on defense. What was the score after the first score of zero, zero. I'm saying that it would just go to overtime. No, but I'm saying the blueprint is the defensive blueprint. On offense, you do your own thing.

On offense, you've got to score off the turnover. Yeah, yeah, the bills have their own blueprint for offense. Got it. A defensive blueprint for how to beat the chiefs. You know what? You've sold me on the blueprint. It makes sense. You sold me on the blueprint.

I'm very excited for this game. Yeah. Because it's just, and it's weird because if you're the bills obviously you want to win this game very badly seating could come into play later but it does suck for the bills going to this game knowing that even if you win

it's like the Chiefs she's like well we'll see in January and we know how that goes they got a Bill's got to beat him in the playoffs before this this matters yeah the Chiefs unfortunately do have like the best offense in the NFL and it's just so many guys they just have dudes everywhere

who just catch the ball and they just keep running and Mahomes homes i feel like averages like 50 yards rushing a game it's crazy all right last game your game pfd seahawks minus three over under is 47 and a half who how are you feeling oh dog you're you're going to dog us i like that i mean i was just going to i was going to focus in on two things very important to this game okay one is the uniforms that the commanders are going to wear i love them the commanders uniforms this weekend when we did the the rankings of the worst uniforms in sports

or in the NFL and the commanders were dead last, I agreed with that. I said, yes, you are correct. But they are unveiling their new throwbacks, which will be awesome. So they're going to wear these on Sunday night, and they are almost identical to the old Redskins uniforms, the home whites.

And there's going to be a different helmet, too. I think Josh Harris is going to put that out, and everybody's going to say, why don't you wear these uniforms every game? And then I think Josh Harris is going to say, yes, you're correct. These are now our new uniforms that we're going to wear. I'm very focused on that.

The other thing I'm focused on is I didn't tell this story on Tuesday, on Wednesday's part of my take but when I was at the game after the game was over I was in my seats getting ready to leave and then who walks up to the area that I'm sitting in

but Tressway, the punter for the commanders Tressway has been an awesome punter one of the best I'd say top two or three in the league for the last 10 or so years he was walking over towards me I was like, oh, maybe Tress has come to say hi. But he stopped about 10 yards from me. And he just had like three game balls that he just walked up and handed to little kids that were in the front row.

Love it. Gave him to the kids and turned around, walked away. Didn't think anybody was noticing. Anybody was looking at him. I just want to say round of applause for Tressway, an all-star punter and an all-star human being. You're going to put yours in the studio? Oh, that was me. That was good.

That was good. Hey, hey. Henry. That was good. Hank's back. Who? So that's my analysis of the Washington commanders

right now. Jay and Daniels is back. Are you a little worried about the throwback uniform being against also the Seahawks throwback uniform, which is awesome? I did not stop to think about

if it was going to be a throwback off. It is a throwback off. I was controlling what I could control. Yes. I can control what I can control. But now you've got to be ready for their counter punch, which is a good.

counterpunch because it is their throwbacks, which are so sick. It's going to be an awesome uniform game. Yeah, it's going to be a great uniform game. Listen, I did not. I'm sorry to get be the bear of bad news. The opposite side of that coin. But everything I said about our uniform stance. My, you know what? I want to say hand up. That was bad friend move. I should have asked you beforehand if you were in a headspace to receive some tough information that you're in a, sir, you're in a throwback off. And I'm not in the correct headspace to receive that because now I'm like, oh, fuck. But I don't know.

This seems like it's now or never for the commanders. And Jaden being back, the offense should look a lot better. Hopefully the defense can improve with that too because we'll be able to play some complimentary football and get them off the field a little bit. Terry being out is a bummer because obviously we saw what he did when he was in against the Chiefs, which is he just made catches that were so spectacular.

They had to keep getting challenged to get overturned. Yeah. So I'm bummed out about Terry not being out there I also saw a graph Hank I know you're really into graphs Graph Talk If you look at the Actually search for this graph Max

Oh no No it's not bad for you No it's so much graph talk The searching is tough Hank's right Hank's right Okay if you just search for Look for

Daniel's first read And then latest Click on latest that yeah there's a graph right there so this is quarterback efficiency throwing beyond the first read non first read throws minimum of 150 dropbacks this is just this season so this doesn't this doesn't include last year's stats at all number one by far is patrick mohomes that's not a not a big surprise number two jaden i did not i did not realize that he was going to be so high up on this list so i'm now i'm i'm excited because i get to see a graph that makes me happen

It's a pointless graph. Why? Because Drake May is not in the top, right? That's pretty much how I look at graphs when I see one of these. Yeah. So it doesn't count. It's just, yeah, it's just cheated data. I think that's a great graph.

I think that this is, I kind of feel the same way about graphs that don't have Jaden Daniels in that spot. So we got a graph off. Yeah, we have a good old-fashioned graph off. but that I'm looking for a little bit of hope and happiness in the season I just wrote Jaden Daniels to start playing again Yeah

Because I'm I think I'm done with Marcus Marriota Yeah I think it might be done with him too And when Jaden's been on the field this year With the exception of the Packers game He's still looked really really good And the less he plays The more people start to forget that And so I'm just hoping that he

I hope that we get to watch some exciting football On Sunday Night for America Yeah I would like exciting football The Seahawks are good, man. Yeah. They're really good. And remember Mike McDonald on the road is a beast.

Yep. And I'm worried about JSN going up against Lattimore. Now, I saw that Lattimore was in a trade rumor to go to the Bears. I saw that. I don't want to. You disavow. I don't. I mean, it would be just another Dennis Allen.

We need bodies, but I don't. The bears have a lot of things they need to fix. I don't really want to give up draft picks. You don't have a lot of, you need draft picks. I would be okay with you taking. You guys have, I think, was it two, three picks in the first five rounds? That sounds right. Yeah.

So, yeah, you want draft picks. We do want draft picks. I think there's a chance that he does get traded again. That would be, what do you get a video if he came back? Yeah, all the past interferences. Yeah, that'd be a great, it'd be a long video. Okay, let's do our, let's start. start with Jerry's fantasy minute.

Jerry has been living at Dodger Stadium. Love that. I also, we, PFT and I were privy to a rumor that Jerry might be going to Toronto for game six, which that's pretty funny.

Streaming means that you play them just that week, you just insert them. It's a

fantasy term PFT and Big Cat. You know what? PFT and Big Cat? I have a new sports friend. I talk to my friend Max on the phone. We talk about baseball. I don't have to talk to you guys about gambling or about flight Simulating. Call 100 Flight Simulator. Where was he? I just looked it up. Glamazonian Airways is in the background of there.

That has something to do with Rupal's drag race. Oh. So he's a BravoCon. Jerry might be branching out a little bit. That's fine. He looks so good. He's just a hot guy. Yeah.

Watch Scream 2 this weekend for Halloween. I need you guys to Max next time you Jerry calls you. Because how many times did Jerry say not for air? I think just twice Okay Yeah Yeah You need to record it

And he'll just keep talking Okay But yeah He won't hear We don't have to put it on air But I would like to hear it Okay Yeah

It's like a personal podcast Yeah That sounds good Just Jerry and Max talking We chat Yeah Jerry's a great Texter by the way

Yeah he is Elite Elite It doesn't matter how many times me or Big Cat don't immediately text him back. That does not deter Jerry from sending the next Instagram link to us. I appreciate that, Jerry. That German tractor girl. Yeah.

Maron. She hot. It sounds like something that wasn't for air. I actually don't think he said not for air. No, he didn't say not for air. He'll say it after. He'll text us tomorrow being like, hey, that was not for air. But he has to clarify whether it's for air.

If he doesn't want it for air, he has to say not for air. Yes. It's like saying off the record. Anything else that you presume, Jerry presumes is on the record. I just love Jerry O'Connell. I miss him. We got to get him out here for a Sunday stream. We have to.

We need to. Tell him to come here for Game Six. I think he's already going to Toronto. He's got it booked and everything. I mean, I would love to have Jerry and Oldie. Six. Those two. Just watch them.

And now here's Baldi. Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest. He is our good friend. It is Baldi, Brian Baldinger. You can find him on an NFL network. You can find him calling games every single week. for Compass Media Networks. He is everywhere.

He's doing his breakdowns. You've got to follow him on Twitter. If you're a football fan and you're not following Baldi's breakdowns, you're not a football fan. I don't want to know you. At Baldi NFL, follow him. Baldi, always great to talk to you. I wanted to start with the Indianapolis cults because they might be the best team in football

right now. When you're watching their film and you're watching what Daniel Jones is doing, what that offensive line is doing what what pops out to you and what in and I think everyone's kind of saying oh the cults are really really good but at some point Daniel Jones is going to be Daniel Jones again I don't think that I think they're just really good is that what you're seeing yeah that's what I see and I've seen it all year I mean even the loss to the Rams where you know the receiver drops the ball going into the end zone and they could easily be undefeated right now easily but I see precision I see design.

I see an attack that I just haven't seen a while. I mean, this thing is like, you know, they go to Pittsburgh this weekend. I don't know what Pittsburgh is going to do defensively. They look a mess. But they look like they dictate and they can do what they want to do. Obviously, Jonathan Taylor is off the charts good this year. He's a certifiable MVP candidate. The offense line is really, really strong.

but Daniel Jones he knows exactly what he's looking at it never looks like a cloudy picture he always has an answer it just makes so much sense right now the way that they attack yeah they are fun to watch they're a very fun football team and what about in

elsewhere in the AFC the chiefs the chiefs look like they're fully back to us like this is this is the best that we've seen them play football in a very long time some people are saying did the Washington commanders put out the blueprint for how to beat the chiefs in the first half what they did in the first half of the Monday night football game.

I've heard a lot of people say that. But as far as the chiefs go, is this as good as you've seen them play in the last few years? Yeah. And, you know, look, I mean, you say the first half. I mean, it's 7-7 at halftime, right? But, you know, I mean, it's the first time in Patrick Mahomes' career that he threw two interceptions in the first quarter.

You know, now, I mean, Lattimore got one. I mean, he got it. I mean, it was a good play by Marshan. But right now, they're just rolling. And really, when you at, I thought it changed. soon as Xavier Worthy got healthy and the thing started really exploding they had worthy they had Hollywood Brown they had Tyquan Thornton you know but now you add Rashid Rice and you see the way Andy Reid uses them running back Wildcat you know you

name it you know I mean he got matched up with Bobby Wagner in the middle it was like it was over so now and then you had you know you had the rookie Smith um even with minus two offense alignment the other night I mean they're still waiting I don't know what's going to left tackle, you know, but I've never seen Tray Smith miss a game. But even with that, it didn't make any difference. Yeah. And so, honestly, this offense could be as good as it's ever been right now. Yeah.

Can you talk me off the ledge with Caleb Williams in my Bears? Because it seems to happen every single week where I watch the game on Sunday and I'm like, ooh, that didn't look great. And then on Monday, all the film guys are like, actually, it wasn't as bad as you saw. Where is the truth here? and what does he have to do to get better and take that next step forward? Well, I mean, you don't want to see him

throwing an interception from his end zone. That was bad. Nate Wiggins. That's the one. You probably jumped off the couch with that one. Yep. And then you say to yourself, oh, well, that Nate Wiggins did run a 4-840.

And you saw the speed. I mean, I thought he had Rome open a little bit. He could have thrown it a little bit more out front, but I don't know. I mean, Wiggins was right where he needed to be. That play killed him. he looks a lot better under center and play action passes to any of those receivers than he does when he's in shotgun and he's just trying to play the quick game.

They seem to struggle with that. They don't make nearly as many big plays. I mean, that was a very, you know, that's a field goal game at that point in the fourth quarter, and they just couldn't make the play, and Baltimore made the plays. I mean, fourth and two, they, you know, they hit Duke on outside, and you kept the drive. alive. I mean, they were in the game right to the end. And then that throw, like, really killed them. So, you know, they had a nice little win street together. I'm not down on Caleb. He just seems like he misses receivers that he shouldn't miss. Yeah. Yeah. That's the problem. Right. It's,

it's like, to me, it's not that, uh, I think he's playing so bad that it's like, you know, people saying benching or anything like that. It's more his feel for the game just has to go up a little bit where it's like going out of bounds when you're supposed to go out of bounds not the intentional grounding penalties just feeling a little bit more under control in the offense that's what i want to see yeah uh they're the two head two intentional ground i know those are sacks but like look i mean Kyle Hamilton comes that's protection up front Kyle Hamilton comes free one time roquant comes free another time and you know he's not he's barely getting the ball and here comes somebody right at him and then you look at the protection you're like

they got to be better up front, you know, just seeing these blitzes that were coming at him. And then, you know, I mean, Caleb's just going to react and he's going to try to make something special happen. He did it late in the fourth quarter. He threw some crazy pass to, you know, DJ Moore, like off his back foot, getting blasted. And, you know, 40 yards later, like they're down in scoring position at the three-yard line. They still couldn't score a touchdown at that point. Remember that part of it. Yeah.

But there's just, there's just too many. But there's just, he just misses layup sometimes. It's one thing if you, okay, Nate Wiggins picks him. You can, you know, you can't live with it. I mean, it's a hard, you know, he's not throwing a ton of interceptions, but that one hurt him. But I just feel like he's still missing balls where it's bouncing in the dirt or sailing over somebody's head. And you go, why?

Like, is it a fundamental? Is it a mechanic? Like, what is it? And it just shows up week and week out. Yeah. Yeah. And then the bear's old coach, Matt Eberflews down in Dallas right now. And we think, actually, Sean, Hammer might be doing like a great.

job coaching that team because their offense is incredible. It's so fun to watch. The Dallas Cowboys are a legitimately good offensive football team right now. The defense doesn't look great. It looks bad. Is it fixable? Are there issues on defense fixable? Or is it a matter of the guys that they have in place there? And maybe the lack of some of the guys that they don't have anymore? Well, I mean, they were playing literally guys off to practice squad last week. You know, they had this kid, Tricuezi. I think that's his first name. Bridges, number 25. He's the right one. I mean, honestly, you know, he might become a great play.

I don't know. He's just a rookie free agent. But Sean Payton, he sees a pigeon out there. He's going to attack the pigeon, you know. And so, I mean, they were literally lining up. It was Cortland Sutton, you know, it was, you know, it was Troy Franklin. They were all, the rookie Pat Franklin beat him. Like, they were just going after him.

Then they had a rookie free agent, you know, safety. And so that's part of it. And then they don't have a pass rush. So, you know, and then some weeks. The week before, they looked like they kind of fixed their run defense. But then, you know, last week it shows up and you're like, what? Like every defense is a gap defense. Get to your gap.

Put your head in the gap, you know, and like stop these, this rushing it. And then some weeks you're like, what are they doing? And is everybody just freelancing out there? Because that's how it usually looks. Teams are just freelancing against them and, or they're doing that against teams. And then they just get scorched. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, so give me your, do you have a, this week, week nine, do you have a best bet or a game where you're like, this matchup is going to go one way or this team can't block someone? Is there any game that jumps out to you on the entire week nine card?

Well, I mean, look, there's some teams they have to win. Yeah. Like this sport has to win, right? And you go, can they beat the Colts this week? Because they just made a trade for safety. I don't know if Kyle Duck was going to play. He's going to make a difference. Like, they're secondary stakes, you know, but their pass rushes in there either. Like, I haven't seen TJ do much, you know, like they paid T.J. and Cam Hayward and, you know, Alex Heismet, they pay all these guys a lot of money. I don't see them changing the game right now. And unless they do, like, I think you're going to see a lot more of the same against a Colts offense that is rolling. And so if Pittsburgh loses the third in a row, remember last year that it spiraled out of control in the last six games of the season, and they couldn't fix it. And it feels like it's starting earlier this year.

So, you know, I don't know that Aaron Rogers can just go put up 30 on the Colts right now. Right. And I feel like that's what they're going to have to do. But there's a lot of games this week that are like that where, you know, if Minnesota loses this week, you know, with J.J. McCarthy a quarterback, like, can they get out of this spiral? And after they lose their fifth game this season already. So there's some teams right now that they, instead of you go, okay, to your point, like, who do you like, who do you like? I'm like, teams that have to win before this thing, like, before they're out of it, like Pittsburgh and Minnesota have to find a way to win this week.

Falcons. The Falcons are another one where it's like, I don't think the Falcons are better than the Patriots, but the desperation does matter when it comes to week to weak in the NFL, and they have to win this game. Yeah. And, you know, and then you look at Atlanta, like they get beat 30 to nothing by Carolina. You know, they get just crunched last week. They look terrible.

Vijon couldn't gain five yards on them. run. And you go, but you know, I know Kirk Cousins was the quarterback and he wasn't very good and Drake made, Drake London didn't play, but like they have to win. You know, if they want to try make any ground up on what Tampa's doing is they sit there at six and two in a by week, you know, and they get refreshed. Like, they're in that position. And I feel like teams that are in that position, if they're going to do anything this year, they come off the mat and they find a way to win a game. Yeah. So what is going on with the Falcons? Because they are confusing to me. Like you mentioned some of their bad losses they beat the buffalo bills they they seem to just like

flip-flop back and forth i can't ever time the falcons it's impossible to time the falcons and it seems like they've got all the pieces in place but then they do stuff like they just they stop giving the ball to bejean and it seems like a pretty easy thing to say hey this offense should at all times try to try to flow through bison especially if you don't have drake london out there so what have you seen from them what is what's going wrong with the falcons when it's bad i mean they got they got they got basically shut down by Miami. And Miami had been terrible. Defensively, they were as bad as any team in this league.

And all of a sudden, like, they decided to play run defense and Jordan Brooks and, you know, Seeler and all these guys, Bradley Chubb, they all showed up. And they kind of fixed some things defensively, did some things with Jalen Phillips that sort of bothered Atlanta. But they'd been a good running football team. And last week against Miami, they could not get Bejohn going. And usually if Bejon doesn't get going, like they don't win. and he seems to be the key of their success. If he's not making long runs or taking screen passes, you know, to the house

or, you know, like he did against Buffalo, they seemed to really struggle in offense. And they didn't play without, you know, Drake London last week. And he's their best receiver by far. But defensively, I know Miami changed some things up. But they looked like they had no idea how to, like they've never seen a pin and pull, a tackle pull. Like they've never seen these plays before, you know.

There are all these other teams in the league run. And when they, they just got, you know, Ali Gordon, catch the screen passing, it goes 20 yards for a touchdown. Like, they didn't anybody guarding them, you know? Yeah. Like, they just broke down. Yeah. It's very frustrated watching the Falcons.

It's, I can't imagine what Falcons fans have gone through pretty well for their entire lives. But especially this year's like- And it was at home. Yeah. That's in Atlanta where you're fighting for anybody to come to a game. Yeah. Like, come out and support us. Otherwise, you're just going to go watch Georgia play.

Yeah. Yeah. college football yeah what uh outside the colts what offense are you most excited for every single monday to get in your room and start breaking down tape and be like hey this offense is just a joy to watch well green bay is good green yeah they are what they do is you know they've got they got the one loss and obviously they scored 40 against dallas and tied but like that offense you know they got uh watch them back last week and that made a big difference like he made some big chunk plays. But, you know, in this league right now, here's what I see. They're good

offense. They're in two tight-in sets or three tight-in sets. Their play-action pass. Their quarterback is under center. They're like play action pass, match protect. They're getting receivers down the field, getting big chunk plays. And that's what they did, you know, last week. But they're fun to watch because of the way they execute. And, you know, like Pittsburgh was awful. Like Tucker Kraft is catching a three-yard, you know, flat route. And he's going 50, you know. Right. Like, They couldn't get him to the ground. But he's just a really good player, too, though. And so Green Bay is a team that I think always interests me.

Detroit is outstanding just because they've got, you know, Jemir Gibbs can score from anywhere on the field. Jameson Williams have been a little quiet this year so far, can score from anywhere on the field. And honestly, if Jared Goff has time, he doesn't miss. And so they're really good. The Rams, like, you know, they played without Pooka. the last game. So Devante Adams made it up. But when you get Puka and you get DeVante

and you get Kyron Williams going or Blake Corum, like that offense and the way that Stafford can throw it, they look like they go up and down the field and just about anybody. Yeah, they do. Yeah. I was looking at Josh Jacobs and because I think that he's a really good running back and he had a great season last year. And he hasn't really gotten to that point where he breaks out yet, where he takes over game. And I'm wondering, is it a matter of time before we start to get some Josh Jacob games where he's putting up like 130, 140 yards rushing three touchdowns? Or has he, do you see anything different about how he's running this year and how that that offensive line is blocking for him as opposed to last season? Yeah, I don't see anything different in him. Like he made a couple

cuts against Pittsburgh last week that looked like Josh Jacobs to me. He's still scoring a lot of touchdowns. But I, but the average isn't there, the big runs that we saw a year. ago. We haven't really seen that yet, but I don't think there's anything different about Josh. So I think some of those games are coming in the second half of the season. All right. Good to know. And with the bills, we like the Buffalo Bills, love the city of Buffalo. It looked like they were fully back last week. Like they found a little bit of a groove. The by week helped them out a little bit. Is there something about the bills that you think is a concern for them when we saw on their two losses? Is there anything that we see in that

team right now that's making you hesitant to buy fully in on the Buffalo bills? Well, I mean, they're going to get tested by Kansas City this week. They're going to have to score. I mean, James Cooks is averaging six yards of carry. It used to be, if you average four, you had a good back. If you got the five, you were elite.

He's averaging six yards of carry right now. And the offense line is great. I mean, Dionne Dawkins is just, you know, I mean, he's the one that, you know, once protector of the year, like he's the one that pushed for. He might get it the way he's playing right now. I mean, he's just bully-balling. guys up front. But that

offense line is healthy. They do a great job of coaching them. And so I think it starts with their run game. If they get that cranked up against Kansas City, I think they can make it a game. But defensively is the issue. You know, like when they lost Atlanta, Bijon

went off and Tyler Algear went off. And they couldn't stop the run. And that's been their weakness in big games over the years. Is they're undersized up front. Their linebackers have trouble staying healthy. Malano when he's in the lineup. You can look up the stats. They're a lot better defensively when he's in the lineup. And when, you know, some of these other gerons, their slot defenders in

they're like, you know, they play a lot better when they're healthy. But they have had trouble a corner. And so that's been an issue. And I think Kansas City will probably exploit some of that. But I think the way that they can run the ball, you know, and then Josh is just, you know, just scrambling to find, you know, big plays down the field. They can still do that with the best of them. Yeah, Ed Oliver kind of concerns me. Ed Oliver being hurt. That's, that to me seems like... That hurt him last week. Yeah, the running defense, that's, if they can stop the run in the playoffs, and Ed is a big part of that, that's where they could actually make a run and go to the Super Bowl, I think. They might struggle without him. Well, he's,

you know, I mean, look, he's, he's sort of like their three technique, the guy that penetrates that can, you know, really plug the run. He's undersized, but he's, he's been a great player. since he came out of Houston. And it seems to be a difference when he's in there. Yeah. You know, they drafted as T.J. Sanders doesn't have the same impact that Ed Oliver has right now. Yeah. Speaking of injuries, the Broncos, you know, have been hot.

The Broncos are, I think, a legitimate Super Bowl contending team. But Patrick Sartan being out missing maybe a couple weeks, what does that do to their defense? Because from my perspective, and obviously you know way more football than we do, that's massive just because Patrick Sertan, you have them out there, you can basically eliminate half the field and you can take away whatever their number one is and then the rest kind of falls into place. When you lose a guy like that, is Denver in trouble in the next couple of weeks if he's out for, you know, two, three

weeks? Well, you know, this Jaday Barron, you know, their first round pick out of Texas came in last week and he had his first interception, made a great play on DAC down the middle of the field. They have a luxury. I'm honestly, the biggest issue in this whole league right now is there's not enough good corners. And there's just, you saw Detroit win a game the other day with all backup players and safeties that had never played before and they won a game before they're by. But it's a cornerback driven league right now. And what happens is when you have Sertan and you have Riley Moss and you have all these guys right there, they can lock up, they can get after you with five-man rush. And they're the best in the league at it. I mean, when you look at what

Cooper, you know, and what the guys can do up front, Zach Allen, Right now, they lead the league in sacks. They can get really after you. They got after Dak last week. He couldn't even get his back foot set in 30 steps, and he was under duress. And so Sartan really allows you to come after you with five. They probably do that as much as anybody.

So now you're one-on-one up front. If anybody misses a block or gets beat, now your quarterback is running and scrambling like Dak was last week. And so I was thinking about Nick Benito. Yeah. But, yeah, like, he really gives him that luxury. Now, we'll see if Jaday can step in there and kind of fill that void. Not many guys can do with Sartan.

Because if you're number one court, if you're number one receivers at tight end, Sertan will lock him up. He'll lock up an ex-receiver. He'll go in the slot against the slot receiver. And so he loves that. Like, he's got a smile on his face. He's like, all right, come after me. You know, like, I enjoy, even last week against Dallas,

like he basically, you know, took their ex-receiver and just kept him to like five-yard catches, you know, and didn't let him get down the field in the big plays that he'd be getting. Yeah, and I actually, I like the Broncos this week because of what they can probably do to the Texans offensive line. Like, I watched that game last week. I had the Texans against the Niners probably the only game I won, but I was like, hey, the Niners don't have the dogs up front to really bother C.J. Stroud,

and you saw him have his best game of the season. I think that's different when you have the Broncos, where it's like, These are the guys that can bother him. And that offensive line for Houston, although they had a good week, it's going to be tough sledding this week against the Bronch. I couldn't agree with you more. I mean, San Francisco just traded for Keon White. They're just looking for pass wrestlers.

Bryce Huff didn't play last week. And so, I mean, look, Arionte Urstery might become a good player. I still don't know how they let Laramie Tunsel out of their building. Like, you just don't let those guys go. And they traded him to Washington. You know, I don't know we had penalties last year, but they had Matt replaced them. And you're right, the offense line is. struggled. I mean, that's why

offense coordinator got fired. Offense line coach got fired. They replaced all these guys, but they didn't really replace a good line. And when CJ has time, even without Nico Collins last week, he played great. So I do think that they're, you know, CJ

is going to see like some hungry sharks coming after him this week. Yeah. One thing I love about you, Baldi, is you are an early identifier of dudes. You spot dudes as they're starting to emerge. And you're wearing the shirt right now, the the OL Mastermind shirt, Offensive Lyman. Quinn Miners from the Denver Broncos.

What a dude. I just want to hear you talk about him as a dude. You know, on the one screen last week, he knocked three guys down. Yeah. Like I saw that play and I'm like, okay, you get your guy at the line scrimmage. Okay, you hit the linebacker. But then you go down the field and you nick, you get a safety down the ground. Like nobody gets, like, Macy's doesn't have a three for one sale.

Like, he gets three guys on one play. I love Quinn Miners. He's just, he's the definition of a meat. Like, he's a meat head, like he loves it. He's as tough as they come. You go goal line, short yardage, you know, like sometimes Philly likes the tush push. Let's just run the ball behind Quinn Miner.

He's going to move whatever immovable object is in front of him. He's going to move him. He just has rare power. Yeah, and he's been great for a couple years now. Like, he's really developed into an awesome player. Is there anybody out there that, that we might not be talking about enough, a dude that you have identified

that you love watching his film and you just really enjoy how violent this guy is? Well, there's a couple guys that come to mind right now. You know, I mean, obviously, you know, Quentin Nelson. You know, I mean, that guy, you know, he just, like, he's playing on top of his game right now. Everything.

Pass protection. Like, when they run power, he's the one that pulls, always. And then he has, you know, when he was a kid in Marlboro, New Jersey, he was too heavy to play football, you know. So his parents put him in, they put him in cross country. So he ran, you know, the three mile country, when he was ninth grade, he was running cross country. Like the guy has a third lung.

But he never gets tired. You always see him down, 56 is, if Jonathan Taylor runs 80 yards down the field for a touchdown, like Quentin is right behind him. Like, that guy is still as good as there is out there in this business. But, you know, if you look at Landon Dickerson, like, he's just, like, he's on one leg right now. He had his knee scoped and preseason. He's, you know, he's like, you know, I'll have a few beers. I'll scope my knee.

I'll go be out there and play. And he's just out there just, you know, there's the reason why the tush push, they run to the left all the time. They run behind him. Like, he just is a big body that just moves big people. So, like, he shows up every week. Do you ever get tired during the football season, Baldi? No. Like I, like, for example.

where was I I can't remember where I was last week doing a game. I was in Minnesota or I forget where I was but I could wait to get to NFL films on Sunday night like I think I got oh I did the Eagles home game

so I was right there so I did that game against the Giants but I went straight over to NFL films and I started watching the 1 o'clock games they were all coming in so I cooked to state I went over there

started watching film to midnight got up at 530, went back and finished watching what happened was I started doing these breakdowns And I do, like, you know, some of the guys I liked in the league, some of the teams I like. But then, you know, Jacksonville would get pissed off because I didn't do anything and they won a game. Some of these bad teams, New Orleans, Kim, you know, Cam Jordan had a big game, three sacks.

And he's like, I don't get, I get no love. So now, like, I got forced to have to watch every game. Yeah. And in order to watch every game, it takes time. Yeah. And you can't afford to be tired. Like, you know, they got a coffee machine every six feet in NFL films. It makes it easy.

What's your off day? Do you have an off day? Well, so right now, like, they're putting me on some college games, too, for National Radio. So next week I'm doing Texas Tech and BYU. Okay. I can't wait. So normally Fridays I go, okay, I can kind of lighten up on Friday, travel on Saturday. But now I'm, like, I did Texas OU, I'm doing Texas, A&M, Texas.

Now I'm, like, having to watch some of these college games to get to know, I don't really know all these Polynesians at BYU. I got to get to know the pronunciations and the whole thing. So now I'm studying some of their games because they're undefeated. Yeah. And they're really good, you know. It's going to be a great game. Mahomes is going to be on the sideline at Texas Tech.

Like, you know, I want to know my stuff. And they've got some good pass rushers at Texas Tech. So now when I do the college games, there's no days off. Yeah. Yeah. So you just all day, every day football. Yeah. But, you know, I'm reading Belichick's book, whatever the name of the book,

somebody gave it to me. And he's like, they asked him about the same thing. They said, well, football just energizes me. I don't need anything. And I feel like it energizes me because I see things every week that just, like, it's a tweak. It's something different. And you're like, wow, that's pretty cool how they came up with that. That's a good play.

Or that's a good design. Lou Anorumo came up with a blitz last week in Indianapolis. I'm like, lose on his game right now. You know, like he's in his bag. You start seeing some of these things. You're like, oh, that's pretty cool how they got that guy, DeForest Buckner, is having a monster season. It's pretty cool. I got him freed up on this pass rush right here. And so like, I see something new and I'm like, I make a little note or I do a breakdown and I get kind of

fired up about it. Yeah. So what do you do after the Super Bowl? What's that? He goes and swims with sharks. I know, I know you're, yeah, you're a sharks where, but I mean, like, right after the game's over, like, do you go, do you go through football withdrawal or do you just immediately say, I'm going to go visit the sharks? No, no, I don't get withdrawals because, you know, I'll, we'll get ready for the draft and you know all that kind of stuff free agency so there'll be enough you know to kind of like get me excited again you know getting ready for the next season but no i i need my time off like it's a it's a great day to dive today the water's calm like i'm thinking about like i have a free hour somewhere today and i can just run out to the first reef swim out there and start

diving down take a little go pro down there and see what's down there hopefully something big is floating around yeah it's the best it's like baldy gives you his breakdowns for half the year. And then for the other half, it's like, oh, he's just swimming next to a shark. Yeah. I was in Korea last year. And I was like, they have really good diving in Korea. And in the sea of Japan, like, there's really good visibility and good diving. And they have a lot of sharks. And I'm like, okay, I'm coming back with my equipment next year. Yeah. I'm going to see what's going on. I've got a place that's got some great diving, too. You might be interested in it. We had Zach Martin on the show last week. And he's Jack Martin? Like the God?

Yeah, the God, himself. And he was telling us about his pinstripe bowl MVP trophy. He won the MVP for that game, and he lost it in a lake. And it's nearby. It's in the Midwest here. So we want our guy, Zach, to go diving for it, to go treasure hunting for this trophy and find it in the lake and bring it up to the boat. Would you be willing to work with Zach maybe on some of his diving technique?

We'll fly you out. Yeah. We'll just take like a one day try to find this trophy at the bottom of Zach Martin's Lake. But where is this lake? It's somewhere, we don't want to give away exactly where it is because you don't want anyone to go, you know, take it before when you get there. The problem is like, okay, if it's in Texas, I don't know where it's at. It's in the Midwest.

It's a driving distance from Chicago. Okay. All right. Well, that might be, you know, because some of these, like, I have these friends that do the, you know, that catfish noodling thing? Yeah. Like, they've been trying to get me to go noodling in Texas and some of these ponds. I'm like, first of all, you got these cotton.

snakes that are there. Yeah. Right? And then you're like, you can't see anything. It's just mud, right? And you're sticking your arm in these holes and you're waiting for these catfish to bite and you're pulling these.

I'm like, I'm not doing it. I've just not, I've got to have some visibility. But the counterpoint to that is you swim with sharks. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's Jupiter.

I can see that I can see, you know, the sharks coming at me. I know how to kind of like, I think I know what to do if they really get aggressive. Like, I don't like bull sharks. Believe me, I don't like them. I'd rather see a. a lemon shark or a nurse shark or a reef shark i'm okay with those but bull sharks are a little weird yeah like i don't know what makes them like get aggressive so that does make me a little nervous i'll probably get out of the water if i see too many of them but i saw them in jupiter this

year they were just circling me they didn't seem like they were not very interested that's i mean that's a crazy thing to say just like oh yeah there's just some bull sharks circling me i think they respected you they they checked you out and they're like i don't not this one we'll wait for an easier target yeah i'd never get my girlfriend was on the boat and she's He's just like, just get out of the water. What do you do? Like, look at it. And I'm like, no, I feel okay.

Like, they're going after chum. They're not coming after me. Yeah. You're like, this is the last time I'm going to see you. Oh, man. I think this lake should be free of sharks. It should be free of catfish. I don't think we got any cutouts to worry about it.

I will go to the Midwest, wherever this thing is. I'll put my mask and snorkel on. I can hold my breath for a good time. I go down here so I can find that, that trophy of him. I love it. We would love to have you on this. be a great video of all of us trying to get it that would be great video it would be a lot of fun yeah yeah yeah all right baldy i got one last question for you it's a rowback question r hobback

dot com promo code take 20% off your first purchase cuzips polos hoodies joggers shorts roback dot com promo code take all right so we're in we're heading up gearing up for week nine uh if i had to ask you right now to give me your super bowl you don't tell me who's going to win but who's going to be in the super bowl you can always change it when we have you back on in a couple months you can change it but right now week nine, who are you seeing is the best teams in each conference?

I think Kansas City is going to be back. I know what the record is, but Kansas City looks like they've got things fixed. And that's the things. September, they weren't very good, but I like Kansas City right now in the AFC. I know Indianapolis is really good and we'll see what else happens.

But I like what they're doing. And I think Philadelphia is going to get on a role. Like they got Sequan going last week. they've gotten the play action pass going I think AJ Brown's going to be on the team I know people are thinking he's going to get traded I don't think they're going to trade I don't know why they would

like I think Philadelphia Kansas City could repeat and get back there again okay if it's not Philly out of the NFC who would you think? I would say right now I would say Detroit, Green Bay or Seattle one of those three teams all right yeah I want to ask you about Seattle I'm glad you brought up Seattle I'm not going to rule out Tampa

I'm just not going to because I want If that team ever gets healthy, what they look like. Yeah. With the Seahawks specifically, what is it about them that you look at and you say, okay, this is for real. This could be a very good. I've seen anybody cover Jackson Smith and Jig, but yeah. That guy looks unstoppable to me.

And really, it's probably a benefit that they're up in Seattle. Nobody's really paying attention. But right now, you know, you look at what Sam's doing in that offense. It's like a symphony. Like they're getting the run game going, the play action pass game, the big pass play is going. and nobody can run the ball against Big Cat Williams, who, by the way, is a great diver.

Oh. And so he's a guy that's not afraid of any sharks down there. He can hold his breath like he's got a third lung. But you don't get their defensive line right now. They're as good as anybody up front. Like, if you want to run the ball, good luck, trying to run against that group. Yeah, their offense is a lot of fun. They throw the ball deep all the time, constantly.

Yeah. This AJ Barner, those tight ends pretty good. Like, he's shaking loose. And like, they have, they've got enough, like, they don't have a service. plus of weapons, but you don't need them. If you got to go to a guy, go to him. That's what Jake was doing. I thought when he came out of Ohio State, he was just

like a slot receiver, but they move them, like, there's a reason why they let D.K. Metcalfe go. They knew what they had in this kid and what he's doing. And, you know, you still have Cooper Cup and you have enough other guy, Jake Bobo and Barner and some of these other guys. They're fine, I think. I actually don't mind Arroyo

either. I feel like a Royo could be a really nice player. I agree with you. No, he's got some juice to his game, man. And his only problem at Miami was he just couldn't stay healthy. But he can run, and he's a good target. Yeah, yeah. All right, Paul, you're the best. We love having you on.

Thanks, guys. You are the ultimate football guy. And thanks so much. And hopefully we see you soon. Oil, masterminds. Yep. That's it, man. Like, you got to, like, you got to pump up these guys down there.

Yeah. This thing, you know, this little thing started in Dallas. There was Lane Johnson and Duke Mannyweather. I came down there and there was like 20 guys there. Now, high school kids are coming. College kids, the entire Alabama offense line, two years ago came. Like, you know, here comes Booker and here comes Caden Proctor. Like, then they sat in the front row with notebooks.

And like, if I had to know money, I would come to this thing and listen to Elaine Johnson, tell me about past protection all day long. Yeah, yeah, it's facts. Well, you're the best, and we love football as much as you, but no one knows football as much as you. So thanks so much, Baldi. Thanks, guys. All right, man.

Nothing really crazy happened to me this week I got super obsessed with the TV show Binged it all and now it's over and I just kind of have a void. What show was that? Find another one. The task. I'm not a Like, it's been a while since I've gotten into a TV show as much as I got into this one. I guess Severance a little bit. Oh, Severance doesn't come back forever. It's going to be years.

Sucks. But yeah, task, great show. Limited series. Elite. Loved it. Cried at the end. But it's over and I'm just like, it was a fun week watching it. That's my Halloween costume. Yeah, and when you lose, yeah. When you lose the It is like you like

If you have to find a great show And you get excited to watch it Like when you're like You're just like what do I do now? Yeah Oh you know what a good one is? I think it's called the diplomat Yeah

My sister's told me about that Yeah it's a good show I think they just dropped the new season So yeah that's I mean Tass is so good Who's in the diplomat It is uh Carrie Russell I think

Yep Yeah Yeah Yeah the woman president she's a diplomat there's a woman vice president oh yeah this is it yeah no i think there's a woman president i just watched 10 minutes of it because my wife was watching it and i i like you saw i was a woman president and walked out no well i was like this is unrealistic it was it fantasy and then i uh i watched 10 minutes it was like the most crucial 10 minutes and i just

happened to walk in and so i i basically spoiled the whole show like in those 10 minutes i just sat down and watched it. It was like, oh, fuck. Yeah, they're back. No way. They're back. I can't believe that happened. And I didn't know any of the character's backstory. But it seemed like a good show. So you're out of shows? Hit my boy, Hank up with some recommendations. I might start watching Ozarks.

You've never seen it? No. It's a good show. Really good show. Very good show. Really good show. Especially if you like watching Marty Bird just like drive away from houses. That's like half the show. That's a good show. You're just always leaving places, yeah. there's some good shows you can find I'm not right sorry I might just rewatch the wire because that's what the task reminded me

it was it was just Delco the wire it was Delco the wire I like that's good Delco the warrior yeah oh the second one was the best Tom Hardy show it's very it's only one season

oh yeah awesome was it crime it can't be that good gang no yeah if you don't remember the name it's Tom Hardy crime land all I had to say was Tom Harder Mobland Pierce Brosson

It's mob land. No, is it? Mobland? Can't be that. Crime town. Crime town. Mobland. Yeah.

It is mobland. Did you watch it? I watched an episode didn't... It's really fucking good. Didn't stick, but I might get around to it. It's basically just Tom Hardy being a badass for like every episode. Who the fuck do you think you are? Yeah.

That's who I am. You don't want to do that. That's who I'm. Bro, that's who I am. I would advise against doing that as he grabs his gun. Hey, you're not going to want to do that. Any further questions? I've got two answers.

I would say that's a pretty bad idea. And then he just kills people. Oh, get, help me swim. All right, PFT, your Fire Fest. My Fire Fest of the week is something that came out this morning. Unfortunately, we lost Jim Mersey, the owner of the Colts over the summertime. And he had the best collection of guitars in the world, maybe the history of the world. Definitely the history of the world.

And I just found out this morning he's putting his entire. collection up for auction and this is this is a problem for me because the man has the best guitars the most important guitars and they're all going up for sale at the same time now the good news is most of them are way too expensive that I would never even dream of being able to buy them what are some of the prices uh what are some of the guitars they haven't they haven't priced him out just yet i think one of jerry garcia's car cars they've got his tiger which is fucking sick so sick uh but the problem with pricing these is that if you were selling a collector's item

of a guitar over the last 20 years, Jim Ursay basically set the price for it. Right. The value of the guitar was whatever Jim Ursay would pay for it because he wanted all the important guitars in his collection. And to his credit, he took them on the road. He showed them to the people in the Jim Ursay collection.

He had a great quote. He said, I always say, you never see a hearse pulling a U-Haul, basically saying you can't take it with you. Yep. After you're gone. And so now he's selling a all these. Some of the best guitars are like the Prince guitar from the halftime show that he played. That might

be my favorite one. He's got the David Gilmore Black Strat. He's got Jimmy Hendricks guitars, Eric Clapton guitars. He has the Stratocaster that Bob Dylan played when he pissed the world off by going electric for the first time. He owned that. So he's putting these all up for auction and I'm going to have to

go through these and see if there's one in there that I can't buy. I'm reading an article right now that says that he turned down an offer for $1 billion for the entire collection. Yep. There was somebody maybe a Saudi Prince or somebody in UAE that offered him a billion dollars. And he said

no, no, I'm going to hang on to him and I'm going to take him on the road. And my favorite thing about Ursae, I know I've told this story before, but Ersei truly believe that with all these guitars that the music that was once played in them still exists inside the material. I believe it. Like inside the wood and that if

you own the guitar one day they'll be able to extract all the music that was ever played on it. And you can just listen to it and recreate it, which is a cool thing to believe. Okay, so you had Nirvana guitar, yeah. The only one that I'd be interested in Jerry Garcia-Tiger guitar, and I just looked it up. He bought it in 2002. How much you think he paid for it in 2002?

$202,000. Probably, I'm going to say maybe more. $500. $957,000. So basically a million dollars. So it's got to be like $10 million now. It's probably worth more than that now. Yeah.

So, like, there might be some of the shitty, I don't want to say shitty, but. In the general scheme of his collection, the ones that he kept in the back. Yeah. If he's got any Warren Zvon guitars, I would be interested in those. What if he has one of your guitars and he just didn't even realize it? That'd be pretty cool. That'd be really cool. If he does?

Hey, there's a PFT guitar. If he's got one? He lost it, and I got it on the black market. If he's got one of those, I'm going to let it go up for auction. Okay. And the money goes to charity. Yeah, money goes to charity. Love that.

So, yeah, this is the classic. I'm never going to financially recover from this. Yeah. Because I am, I just know myself. I'm going to spend too much money on a guitar. Yeah. Okay, I got two Fire Fest quickly. One is the Halloween candy in my house showed up Tuesday night.

And I went to, I started going to town on it. And I said to my wife was like, wow, you got it pretty late. She's like, I did it because you ate all the candy last year. So she deliberately did not buy the candy until the week of. That's a sneaky move. But then I took it as a challenge, and I ate more than I, like, I got a real bad tummy ache on Tuesday night. You showed her. I was eating so many little candies for the entire night because I was like, no one tells me that I can't eat candy.

She's like, I got, I got this late and I got extra because I knew that you would eat it. And I wanted to make sure we had some to pass out. And I was like, I'm going to show her. I'm going to make sure we have nothing to pass out. You know, you know how they tell you that sugary candy ruins your teeth, that you get cavities from it? Yep, that's facts. what if you just eat it really fast and it's not like pills

well you like take two bites and then swallow yeah so it's not on your teeth for that long yeah I like that you think of that dentists no probably not yeah my other fire fest was I got a new car on Monday and I was getting the car and I lease I lease and I was

at the dealership and my wife came with me to that because she had to take my current car home when I picked up my new car and we were sitting there waiting for the guy to come back for the paperwork and she was like, hey, are you going to, are you going to haggle? Are you going to, like, get a deal? Yeah. And I was like, fuck. I didn't even think about this.

Then the guy came back and I just like blurted out to him. I was like, hey, hey, man, my wife's going to think I'm a real pussy if I don't haggle with you. And then she got up and left because she was like, I can't believe you just did that. And the guy was just standing there like, what? But all's well that ends well. because I did haggle and I got a hat and a sweatshirt I love that of the whole deal

How about that? That's pretty good. That's a good deal making. That's pretty fucking cool. Hat and a sweatshirt. And actually I got a I think it was a I think it was a travel mug

But that one actually hurt me Because the general manager came out at the end And he's like, hey big fan Love your stuff Here's this travel mug It's like, dude, what the fuck? That's pretty sick, though. Yeah, you couldn't have could have helped me out before this?

No, yeah, that's expert negotiation. Did you get any, like, sodas or any treats while you're doing? I drink so many mini waters. Yeah. I took a shit. Good. That's about it. But, yeah, I thought it was a good move to just blurt it out and just be like, hey, man, I'm going to look like a real pussy in front of my wife if we don't haggle right now.

It's not a bad move. It did break the ice. Yeah, it's disarming. And it got me a free hat and a sweatshirt. Yeah, they don't just give those away to anybody. No. I was like, well, actually, now that I'm replaying it in my head, I definitely, he definitely beat me on that too because I wanted a jacket. You got the sweatshirt.

I wanted a jacket. And he was like, the best I can do is a sweatshirt. That's still pretty good. Like, most people walk out of their empty handy just with a car. Yeah. When I did mine, I was, I pulled out my Costco card because he asked me for like a credit check or whatever. I was like, check this out, buddy. I'll do you one better.

Yeah. That's executive. Costco membership. They don't give those to just anybody that walks through here. And then the thing I asked them for at the end

was because they had coffee that they had in there and the place is not far away from my house. I was like, I want to stop in for a coffee whenever I want and you have to give me

some of your coffee. It was like, okay, unlimited coffee for life. Yeah. I've stopped in there zero times. You just need to get something.

But I know that if I really need to stop in there, I will stop in there. And I'll be like, give me the Joe. Hell yes. Yeah. You should give me the card

so I can stop in there. yeah yeah you got it yeah the the the credit score thing when we went into like the finance because they always make you like they make you talk to one person and then they're like all right you're going to go see the finance person that that's where that's where people get beat up yeah financing yeah that's what i got yeah you got but then the woman like puts out all the stuff and i was like let me like how's that credit score and she's like it's perfect i was like hell yes and my wife was like you don't know anything about any of our financial situation i was the one who got your credit score high and i was like

like fuck yeah so foiled again but i do have a good credit score you go into that back room and you think that you're done uh-huh but you're not done because they hit you with every guy and there's like i'm going to talk to you about the warranty got that oh yeah they got you got you got you got you got you got you got you got you got you got me to get i got everything they got me with the windshield they're like well yep i got a rock in the windshield they're like chicago yeah yeah oh yeah construction they're like they're like listen you can't just go to any windshield place and I was like well how much is it cost and it's like 3x

the windshield she's like but you could break like two or three in the next three years it happens all the time okay and then they say uh okay well uh you're gonna want the tires for life right the tires for life is also I got everything you got tires for life at one at one point I was like I don't think I need that

and then he started to go he started to go away from it and then he was like I really think you should get that and I was like all right dude shut the fuck up yeah because you want piece of mind No, I just wanted the guy to shut up Oh, okay. I'll pay extra He gets the fuck out of here. Okay, Zach, your

Firefest. My Firefest The week this week is Zoom calls. Oh, what happened? Riverside calls, depending on which one they were using. I had a body clock Miss, miss clock.

My internal time and the show time were on two different times. When was this? This was Tuesday. This was Tuesday. Tuesday evening after game four after game four and I know better than to then to not be in the Zoom on the Tuesday after game four and I was so late to the Tuesday after game four so yeah Zach he how we work part of my take is like you know we on nights when we know we have to record late we record the majority of the show here in the studio then we all go home and we basically text and we're like hey if this game is close we'll start you know or it's a blowout we'll start recording and then we all convene on zoom at 10 p.m. 11 p.m. so that we can do the first 10 minutes of the show at on Tuesday night 10.30 comes around. We all text. We're like, all right, let's hop on. Let's do the show.

Zach, I called them. Memes called them. No response. So we just did the show. And then after we finished, Zach texted me. He was like, I'm so sorry. I'm joining right now. And I was like, it's no problem. we haven't started yet but we had already started but then we pretended we had finished but then we were like you know what let's just we're not going to make them feel bad we're just going to pretend that we haven't started and memes recorded it should i play it yeah okay we already did the ad we'll just pick up all right three two one welcome a part of my take presented by draft king the crown is yours today is Wednesday October 29th

and we have an awesome world series Zach what were your thoughts on the world series I've seen that how the blue jane's ready to win another game is six to two currently at the end of the game I didn't see the entire game this is too mean we already recorded Zach yeah Zach you're good

we weren't even recording right there what you just I thought he was recording we were recording. It's all right. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.

You're good. You're good. Look at your face. Your face. Your face. Oh, my God, Zach. You're going to have a heart attack. No one's mad at you.

I'm sorry about that. Guys, that's super unprofessional. No, it's okay. You're sick. You've been sick for three days. That's the best part. You haven't admitted that you're sick. They're a little bit under weather.

But the Toronto Blue Jays are above. the weather. Oh, Zach, I'm sorry that you probably panicked when you woke up. Yes, sir, but rightfully so. No, stop. We don't care. It was fine. If you missed the whole show, it would have been different.

It was 10 minutes. Zach, you're doing the face. You're good. Yeah. No one's mad at you. We're good. What did I say to you, too, after? I said, if you, the only way you get in trouble is if you apologize to me on

on Wednesday and then I just walked up to Zach on Wednesday as like Zach how you doing and it took everything in his body not to apologize profusely but he didn't I did owe you one but I no because you requested not to you were good you were sick you just said but I felt a certain kind of way you should have just said it but I did feel it we knew you've been you were sick for like three days in a row and then yeah when you're sick you probably nod off and fall asleep because your body needs to sleep but that was pure panic in your eyes the blue jays line was an absolute bang. It was perfect.

Like, you were show rattled in that moment and still had the wherewithal to be like, but the Blue Jays are above the weather. Above the weather. He's an awesome line. He's trying to keep a professional. He's trying to pause. Yeah, it was great.

Oh, Zach, I love you, man. I felt bad. I'm assuming memes told them after, but I was walking out on Wednesday. I was like, all right, see you guys. See you on Zoom later. And, like, Zach's head, like, popped up a little bit. I got to make sure I'm on top of it

And that was the next day I just heard Zoom And I was like we're there We're on it All right so Zach What happens if there's a World Series game On Saturday What are we doing Saturday night

Saturday night Saturday night Saturday we're all going to get together And we're going to talk about it No no no no no No pod Saturday night Sunday we're going to talk about Saturday night Yeah that's exactly right

Unless you guys decide Emergency Pod and I'm in Yeah I mean that could happen at any moment, I would say there's a zero percent chance that happens this this weekend. But yeah, if one of our teams were in it, emergency pods are always, but usually when emergency pod is possible, we, we are well aware that it's possible. We let everyone know that, hey, emergency pod could be happening. Like emergency pod on the table.

Yeah, there's not like an, there's not like a Friday night. Everyone starts texting being like, everyone gets your command center. We got an emergency pod. Yeah, like if, if, remember that Thursday. night that we had a few weeks ago when it was the Phillies against the Dodgers and then the Eagles against the Giants. Yeah. Like if that had happened maybe

on a Saturday night, we might have had to circle the wagons, be like, hey. It was, you know what it was? If the Cubs had won game five against the Brewers and they had been playing and the Phillies had won against the Dodgers and that Monday night was commanders, Bears, and Phillies

versus Cubs, we would have emergency potted that night. Gotcha. That would have been 100%. On the Monday night, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That would have been worthy of an emergency pod. Do you have any other firefuss? This was kind of quick, but it was a little bit eye-opening. We share a lot of things on this show, and sometimes it feels like we're just sharing them with each other

because it gets kind of comfortable in here, and we're just, it's a good riff. I've got a, I've got a very kind of AWL couple that lives in my building. And the other night I went home, ate some dinner. I was like, ooh, sweet treat, maybe do a sweet treat. so I went across the street as one does sweet concrete treat it was it was a double concrete sweet treat I got I got some dessert and then I went back to my building and I was

in the elevator and this guy standing across me in the elevator just or I know him now but this gentleman just decides you go oh I see you got I see you got you got your he's the your word kind of threw me he's like I see you got your two concretes and I didn't know what to say to him because it was like a world where like my like my in the elevator life going to my apartment and like crossed with his hands his hands he's doing the john sina they crossed and i didn't know what to say to him and i was just like well this is really unfortunate and then he i could tell he felt bad that i said that and then he backpedaled wait you said this is really unfortunate it just came out because it felt unfortunate because i felt like i was caught this is bad and

so then he back pedals and it's just like oh no no no we do it too and i was like that's patronizing because you don't do this too you're like you guys are attractive couple you don't do this and he probably just gets single concrete yeah they probably share one yeah like on the couch of the movie

yeah they're like a nice like interpersonal relationship and like codependency and a nice time yeah because like getting to the second concrete is when it's like it's scary hours

that's when you do their favorite flavor though you saved that one you saved the favor flavor you got to yeah what's the first concrete just the least favor of the two but the first first one is also good you got to have something you're looking forward to what was the first

flavor the first player I did the triple triple chocolate cake one and then the second one was the they do a a banana pie which is like banana with the wafers like the nilla wafers and then marshmallow fluff oh and you went second on that I did and then ever again though did you did the guy say he was in AWL he did I've spoken to him in the in the elevator before oh it just they're they're very kind a WL couple and then he just so how did this interaction end with him with him going out him as he's walking out the elevator going don't worry we do it too oh as the door was shutting yeah yeah yeah shout out that guy yeah yeah good guy I love it guy I love that you don't worry we do it too but I never saw that

coming that was nice of that guy to say that yeah it was he's a great guy I just I just folded under the pressure of the concrete wait what did you say back to him that's unfortunate so what this is unfortunate I didn't really mean to It just kind of came out That's what you're feeling Yeah I love it

I love it All right Good show boys Happy Halloween Everyone be safe Uh Shut up pug by the way I think

Pug you're dressed up As Pug Oh yeah everyone The booth boys Yeah that's a great costume The extra booth boys Say what you're Get on the mic

Patrick Bateman American Psycho. Ghetto Pat. One battle. Leo. Wait, what? People are Revolutional. What are you? Bob Ferguson. One battle after another.

Leo. Yeah, yeah. Shane, are you worried that there's going to be, are you worried there's going to be a lot of you? I thought about it. Yeah, it's going to, that's going to probably be the most popular, because it's a cool guy, like you look cool right now. I saw Gooch had it, but I ordered my stuff like a week before I saw him happen.

That doesn't matter. Yeah. Well, I'm just saying. But like when you show up to a party, you're going to have to figure out what your plan is when there's another you. And the timing of the movie when it came out, it's like I saw it. I was like, oh, next month, that could be a good Halloween costume. And it's, like, super comfortable, too. So, yeah, I feel like it's going to be pretty popular, but whatever.

Yeah, back, like, maybe, like, 15 years ago I went to a Halloween party, and there were two Al Borland's, and I tried to get him to fight. I, like, kept on going up to one of them being like, dude, are you going to let him also be Al Borland at this? Yeah, like, someone's got to be the alpha Al Borland. Yeah. You can't just have two at a party. So you got to be ready to fight.

I'm prepared. Okay. Nice. And then, Pug, what are you? sir what are you i'm a i'm a pug and a pug costume pug exception all right everyone say their numbers memes already got his three 22 99 pug pug pug 74

61 8 77 87 86 what if memes got us that 44 that may spooky 59 should you do one more for Halloween Yeah What did you guess mean?

Same numbers You don't want to do one more for Halloween? No, I do. Hank doesn't like that we're doing it. I don't care. I'm on memes aside. Yeah, but memes is... If I wasn't on memes aside, I'd say you guys

that's just flirting with it. So that means Hank thinks I'll actually get it. No, it's the best. I've looked at that part of my ball's website. I've guessed it three over 200 times. It is never possible. Oh, no. But, Hank, I think we're going to judge it in days and also guesses.

And I want memes to break the record in guesses. Yeah, you don't want memes to break your record. Is it not in days? It's in days, but we also can break it down. Pardon my balls, please break it down and guesses. We can. We can. Okay.

No, I'm saying you said that, like, we can. Yeah, because it's the same thing. Yeah, how many times have we done this and you haven't gotten the lottery ball, correct? Yeah. And he could break your record. All right. You're not going to get it this time. It's just another one that we have to throw on there.

I think we're only going to get it right here. Oh, high. So close. Yeah, it is. Oh, man, memes. Onions. You're flirting with it. Give us a sign off, Meme, Shrek.

Yeah, I must want. Love you guys. I'm going to be. Thank you. I'm going to be able to be. You know,
