I always wear my Mugsy jeans. Check them out right now. Today is Wednesday, November 16th, and the Washington Commanders are back.
Starting point is 00:02:51 We might be good. PFT. I think we might be good, and I'll tell you who's not back, Carson Wentz. No. Because this is Taylor Heineck's team right now. He's done, but PFT, I texted you in the middle of that game, and I was like, it's kind of crazy
Starting point is 00:03:06 how many good skill positions the Washington Commanders have, and I agree with you, you might be good. I think we are good, and as we said, I think it was about a year ago on this show, we said you got to take the Taylor Heineck's with the Taylor Loneck's, and he had a little bit of both last night. If you look at the stat sheet,
Starting point is 00:03:26 you probably see that and you're like, oh, he had a very pedestrian game, but no, he's a good quarterback. He made big time throws, big time plays. He's got great receivers. He also made the kneel down, which was a heads-up play by him. And the way that he celebrates the kneel down
Starting point is 00:03:43 after he gets hit, I've never seen a quarterback celebrate roughing the passer as well as Taylor Heineck. I actually think they should have picked up the flag after the celebration. They're like, no, you're too happy about this because you didn't even really get hit. You're way too happy about this.
Starting point is 00:03:55 So he tried to do that. I think he was baiting them and it ended up working. It was not the greatest ending to the game, but by the rule, he made the right play and it was the right call, but yeah, that was my big point is people were very upset. I understand if you had the Eagles, there was a couple of missed calls.
Starting point is 00:04:11 The face mask and the fumble was bad, very bad. There was a Phantom PI also. And the way the game ended sucked, but with that said, we all know that this is how the NFL is trending. We talk about it like every other week that they protect the quarterbacks to an insane level. So I don't like the rule,
Starting point is 00:04:32 but I also understand that the ref threw the flag and by the letter of the law, they protect the quarterbacks to such an extent now that you can't touch them. Like you basically can't touch the quarterback. It was Graham that hit him, right? I think Graham after the play was like, yeah, I know I fucked up, I'm stupid,
Starting point is 00:04:47 but I fucked up and I shouldn't have done it. It was a lame way for the game to end. It's also, I sympathize with the defensive line and our linebacker that is in that position because it's almost impossible to stop. Like it's hard to stop your momentum when you're doing that. The defensive line looked awesome. Our offensive line actually,
Starting point is 00:05:03 I think that's the reason why we were able to win. Our offensive line played incredible. Our running game, just in terms of time of possession, in the first half, we had a 17 minute, 38 second time of possession edge. 51 plays. So we kept Jalen Hertz on the sideline in the second quarter, which is where he does all his damage
Starting point is 00:05:24 and no team's been able to do that yet. I thought Scott Turner called a beautiful game. Like, so we'll talk about the Eagles a sec, but the commanders went into that game with a perfect game plan. Just not only offensively, but how to keep Jalen Hertz from gashing them with runs, they kept everything in front of them.
Starting point is 00:05:43 They played a really good game. Yes, there were some lucky, you know, turnover luck. We got very lucky on the face mask. And then on the... Quest, yeah. Forrest got that fumble off of the Quest Watkins. Like it was a sick play. It was like a 50 yard game.
Starting point is 00:05:59 You should have just been like Tyler Lockett and just stay down all the time. That's Tyler Lockett's a beast. Yeah. I'm gonna catch a ball, then I'm gonna hit Y. So I, I'm obviously biased because I did been on the Eagles max. I wanna hear from you.
Starting point is 00:06:11 But this is an unbiased take of it, even though people will claim unbiased. I actually think that was like the perfect way for the Eagles to get their first loss. Because you don't wanna lose, but I saw the quotes afterwards. A.J. Brown was smiling. He's like, we can stop talking
Starting point is 00:06:26 about this undefeated bullshit. They had a game that they like basically had everything go wrong for them and still almost had a chance to win it at the end if that penalty doesn't happen. And if you're an Eagles fan, you're probably freaking out a little bit. The last two games you've gotten gashed by the run,
Starting point is 00:06:44 Jordan Davis is the difference. Like Jordan Davis has been out. I saw the stat. It was something like with Jordan Davis in the lineup, the Eagles are giving up like two and a half yards per carry. And then without him, it's like five and a half yards. So he's, he comes back. I think he can come back week 13 or 14.
Starting point is 00:07:01 So like that, if Jordan Davis is out for the year, I'd be like, the Eagles are in big trouble because they can't, their defensive line like has no bulk and they can't stop anyone. But if you're an Eagles fan, I actually think you walk away from that, being like, okay, refocus time. Like going undefeated would have been cool,
Starting point is 00:07:18 but there's a lot of pressure that comes with that. Now you can just focus on cleaning up the things, the mistakes you made. And there is an element of that game that was a little bit fluky. I do think the commanders played better, but like the fumbles and the turnovers and the face mask and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Joey Sly hit two 54 plus field goals. Joey Sly, it was, it was a nice little callback to when I think Rivera was his coach, or maybe it was right after Rivera left the Panthers where they would send Joey Sly out at the end of every half to try like a 62 yard field goal. Would absolutely kill his, his make percentage on the year. Best play of the night last night,
Starting point is 00:07:55 Taylor Heineke's incomplete pass. The best incompletion I've ever seen. The most important incompletion of the game, Troy Aikman like nutted himself when he saw that because if, now I will say like, if Carson Wentz had tried to chase down a ball that got snapped over his head, 25 yards in the backfield.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Pick it, excuse me, pick it up and throw it out of bounds. Like he would have spawned continuously combusted. He was just like lit on fire. He would have broken both of his ankles. It would have been a disaster. But Heineke man, he's got, he is the living embodiment of the edge. He's just always on that edge.
Starting point is 00:08:28 And I love it on that plane ride back. They were putting the chains on him. Never seen something like that happen after a game. You can tell that the guys really love him. Like that's a cool guy. Yes. You know that you're a cool guy that your teammates love if they put chains on you.
Starting point is 00:08:40 And that's a guy that you can never talk shit about. Yeah, Taylor Heineke is fun. I hope he, I hope, like I'm rooting now for Taylor Heineke to play consistent enough football that he can get a full starting job because he is fun for the league, fun to root for. Taylor Heineke is good for football. Yeah, he is.
Starting point is 00:08:57 He's a fun quarterback. It's crazy because I'm finding myself agreeing with you. I, I'm almost like, let's, let's give Heineke like another year. It's just a consistency. Yeah. Kenny, Kenny, Kenny raise. We know his ceiling. It's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Yeah. It's Kenny raises floor. Kenny, Kenny, not have the Taylor Heineke games where it's like, what the hell is going on? We could have won this game if you played like average football. If he can get to that, why not try a lot? A lot of it has to do with the offensive line play because when Carson Wentz was back there,
Starting point is 00:09:27 he was getting like one second to pass the ball. And that's not the quarterback that you want when things are breaking down. Besides that first strip sack of the game where our left tackle just straight up got blown off the ball. Yeah. I think that was sweat that got that one. That was a great play by him.
Starting point is 00:09:43 But besides that, our offensive line played really well and we don't have a good offensive line. Yeah. We've been really bad this year. And so to see that come together was pretty awesome. Brian Robinson, I don't know if you're aware this Brian Robinson got shot. He did get shot.
Starting point is 00:09:54 He got shot. They love saying that Brian Robinson got shot. And the way that he runs is electric. He runs directly into, he loves contact. He's a bowling ball. He just, he picks a defensive tackle and he runs at the defensive tackle and he gets like three and a half, four yards every time.
Starting point is 00:10:11 But that's kind of his move. He's just trying to knock people over. Max, do you want to chime in? Because this is your team. I want to say something to Max real quick. Because Max, I know it's probably tough and you lost the undefeagled season. I also lost the undefeagled bet,
Starting point is 00:10:27 which is probably good for my long-term, yeah, I hanked it too for long-term employment. Sorry. Because I think that if enough people had bet on it, the payouts would have just bankrupted Barstool Sports. So it's kind of a good thing that they lost. But I know it's a tough time for you. So I got you your Christmas bonus.
Starting point is 00:10:45 I got it for you early. I bought you a pair of Jordan 4s, the metallic ones. Oh, nice. In green. Taylor actually hit me up last night. That's the kind that he's getting today. So I'm getting you some Eagles colored Jordans as your Christmas presents.
Starting point is 00:11:00 That's beautiful. I hope that takes this thing off a little bit, Max. I'll match. Oh, wow. Yeah, I'll match. So when you figure out, when you find them PFT, let's buy two pairs. I already found them.
Starting point is 00:11:09 All right, so two pairs, two pairs. We'll match. Yeah, that really helps a lot. Thank you. Thank you for that. But I don't know, I was about to say basically exactly what you said they get. Jordan Davis being out really makes a difference
Starting point is 00:11:25 to the run day. And I don't know. You don't want to go undefeated anyway. Right. So like last night? Wait, well, what? No. No.
Starting point is 00:11:34 You don't wait. You would like to. No. I think you'd prefer to go, yeah. I would prefer to. 20 and 0, I'd prefer to go 20 and 0. Well, I'm saying regular season. You don't want to.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I don't want to go into the playoffs undefeated. Why? No. Because you're going to slip up. That's exactly what AJ Brown said. The narrative of going 17 and 0 is done. It is a lot of pressure. Yeah, now it's get the one seed, which I was not
Starting point is 00:11:59 a little bit more upset that the Vikings, that the Vikings. That actually makes one that game. Yeah, oh yeah, definitely a PFT. This is a, this actually goes even more into the Vikings like lucky season narrative. Like they are, they're getting all the breaks right now, but you still beat them head to head. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:14 And people are going to, I know that people want to say the Eagles are frauds. The Steelers, remember the 11-0 Steelers? Who the commanders beat? The commanders are just, you know, the slayers of dragons. I always thought that team, like there was something, it just wasn't, it didn't feel as real. I think the Eagles are still a very, very good team.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Like there's no fraudulence to it. They haven't played a tough schedule, but they've also beaten the fuck out of a lot of teams. That Steelers team was definitely the worst 11-0 team of all time. And this Eagles team is really good. I would not be worried if I were you. I would just make a note that if this does end up impacting
Starting point is 00:12:54 the home field advantage situation, the playoffs, that's going to be very bad for us. You have to retroactively apologize. Well, I've also, I asked Commissioner Goodell, I said, please, please review that face mask. I didn't want to accept that face mask. I said, that's a bad call. I wanted him to take that off the board.
Starting point is 00:13:10 He didn't, he didn't get back to me in time. So I can only go with what the result of the game is. But I disavowed that call. I say that fumble recovery should never have happened. I appreciate your disavow. That was very big of you. Yeah, I probably would have had a different tune if we were recording last night,
Starting point is 00:13:24 but after sleeping on it, it's like, feel a little bit better. It's all right. Just don't let, don't let one bad game become two. That's really all it is. Like if you win on Sunday against the Colts, it's, I don't think there's anything that changes about how I feel about the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:13:40 And I like Hertz didn't play like that badly. His pick to A.J. Brown, I don't, A.J. Brown didn't have a great game, which is- All he was banged up. Yeah, but like that wasn't on Hertz. And he made a play to win, to take the lead and Quest Walkins. I don't know why he fell.
Starting point is 00:13:54 That was a ball right on the dime. I know. And he dove for it. Like that's a touchdown. If he just stays on his feet, yeah. So like the fumble being one thing, but if he just catches that, that ball, that's a jail on Hertz.
Starting point is 00:14:05 That's like a, like a highlight moment of like jail on Hertz's career of like making a deep bomb to win the game. That was giving major to Sean Jackson. Yeah. Yeah, entire play. He just dove for no reason. Hank, why are you laughing? People just said that's giving to Sean Jackson.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Yeah, seriously. I just said, because I knew that Hank was going to just win. Yeah. I mean, Hank, do you have anything you want to say to Max? No, I mean, I- It is bullshit that like after the game, I'm more worried about Hank giving me shit
Starting point is 00:14:34 than I am about PFT. I had the undefealed bet, so I was upset. But, you know, as a basically a Philly fan, I tweeted, Joel Unbeated, 59 points last night. Who cares? And people are just so mean. I do love- It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Like Philadelphia is, I know they've had a moment, so to speak, because they, you know, the Phillies run in the union. All the losing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So all the losing. The fact that the Eagles fans booed the team going into halftime is so fucking funny.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Like any other, any other fan base, I'd be like bad fans, but like it's so Philly that I was like, yeah, you know what? Love it. It like, it shows that they're still alive. They're still like, you know what I mean? If they had, if they hadn't booed, I would have been like, what's wrong with Philly?
Starting point is 00:15:18 Have they lost the step? No, they booed their undefeated team for being down six at halftime in Monday Night Football. It's good sports time. It's a very good sports time. That's fucking funny. And I mean, I wouldn't say that they necessarily deserved to be booed if they were any team
Starting point is 00:15:32 besides the Philadelphia Eagles, but it just fits. Like if you don't, if that's going to piss you off, then you shouldn't be playing in Philly. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly right. So fun game. Hank, I got a question for you. Would you rather go undefeated? Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Okay. I would like to be, I think the opportunity to be the best football team of all time is enticing. How many times have you seen your team go undefeated in the regular season? I think it was once. Once. And how many times did that team,
Starting point is 00:15:59 that was a bad way of wording, did they win the Super Bowl? They did not, but it's like, you know, it cost only the boss. I'm going to put my hand up right now, if either of my, if either of my teams, there's the badgers were, were ever, if they ever wanted to go undefeated
Starting point is 00:16:17 and not lose a single game in the entire season, I'd be cool with that. I would say that I would, I would appreciate if the commanders just didn't lose from now on. Yeah. Like, like, yeah, I'd be cool with that. I would be cool with a full 20 and 0. That'd be pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I truly was hoping to go 16 and 0 and then lose the, the meaningless 17th game. That probably, that, that was probably a realistic scenario as well. Yeah. That would have been best case scenario in, in my mind. I'm just thinking to myself that the commanders will lose going into the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Yes. Yeah. With your backups. With your backups. And then have a buy. So basically have two, two full weeks that you don't play any football. Yeah. Okay. I'm just, I'm just worried that the commanders
Starting point is 00:16:58 beating the Eagles is going to make the Eagles lose home field advantage. It's going to go to the Vikings. And then the Vikings are going to go to the Super Bowl because the commanders beat the Eagles. I gotta be honest. I'm like, I, you guys have always had the Vikings hate. I like, I'm pretty adamantly rooting for the Vikings.
Starting point is 00:17:12 That's cool. That's all you have to get. You have to get a tattoo too. I know. Oh, shocker. The team that's competing with the Eagles for the one seed. Interesting. That is a good point. Speaking of undefeated, Larry Zonka gave a shout out
Starting point is 00:17:22 to the commanders. Oh wow. Wow. Mercury Morris always pops his head out of whatever pile of cocaine that he's in at the time to just say, Hey, all right, we're still tops. The craziest part about this game too is that, you know, all the talk has been about the AFC East being,
Starting point is 00:17:38 maybe getting all four teams in. The NFCs could absolutely get all four teams in. The beasts are back and they probably won't just because of scheduling. Cause, you know, like the commanders have to play the giants twice. Like they, they were probably will be in a moment where they beat each other up too much that, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:54 whether it be the Seahawks, the Niners, the Packers, one of those teams slips in, but it would like, I'm not ruling out the commanders at five and five. I think if the, no, if the playoffs started right now, I think the Niners would be over them. The Niners would be in over them. Yeah. But there's, there's a lot of football left to be played.
Starting point is 00:18:12 And I did go searching deep on the internet. I went to the deep web looking for some playoff machines and playoff simulators. Why do we not start the playoff machines in like week eight? Yeah. Because I want to see what that bracket looks like right now. I want to see who's in the hunt. I was looking all over the place, high and low for it.
Starting point is 00:18:30 I could not find an accurate like playoff simulator where I could select, you know, okay, this is a win. That's a loss. This is a win. That's a loss. I think the way it stands now, if I understand Nate Silver's numbers, which I probably don't, but I think it's like a 33% chance that the commanders make the playoffs this year.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Wow. They have, I mean, they're at the Texans in versus the Falcons. And then at the Giants have the late buy. Yeah. Watch out for the commanders. Billy, what are you going to say? My only point was on the roughing the passer penalty. That kind of thing is the same way that they think it would be a bad thing for, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:03 franchise quarterbacks get hurt. The same magic we're seeing with Heineke is the result of a franchise quarterback getting hurt. So we think that it would always be negative, but... Well, Carson Wentz, I wouldn't call. But so... No, he wasn't. Carson was great. It was very sad to see him get hurt in franchise quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:19:19 I hope he hurries back as soon as possible to play for a different team and has a long career with them. Hopefully a team that we get to play twice a year. But yeah, I'd say that's a net positive that Carson Wentz got a booboo on his back. And most teams with franchise quarterbacks don't have very good backups.
Starting point is 00:19:36 The commanders, it feels like they went in this season being like Carson Wentz, but we also need Taylor Heineke because it's Carson Wentz. And with the commanders, there's always something going on with the team. Like it's alternating being exciting, frustrating, sometimes just very sad. Like Ron Rivera's mom passed away earlier in the week
Starting point is 00:19:55 and then he was crying the post game. There's always something around the team that's just... There's just a tragedy just lurking. Just tragedy, just circling us. I don't know if this is what it's like for every other team in the NFL, but it just seems like there's always something going on. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:11 All right, so great Monday football game. That was a lot of fun. Taylor Heineke is fun. The commanders are back. Max not worried at all. At all. I agree with you. And there was Vikings fans who were like,
Starting point is 00:20:24 how are the Eagles not called frauds? It's like, well, the Eagles did beat the shit out of the Vikings. So that... I wanted to make sure you didn't say just beat. No, no, no, stop. No, I know, they had a head to head game and like, you know, Vikings fans will make an argument
Starting point is 00:20:38 that it was week two and they've changed. The Vikings, we admitted on Monday, the Vikings are a very good team. They are. They're a very good team. Did you see the... So we talked a little bit yesterday off the pod about the screenshot that was going around
Starting point is 00:20:51 with the Vikings bills and overtime. Yeah. Where somebody pointed out that there were 12 men on the field for the bills. And then I looked at, it was one of the first things I looked at when I woke up. So I had bed eyes, you know, just opened up my eyes. I zoomed in on it and I was trying to figure out,
Starting point is 00:21:07 wait, I only sealed that number three is just over a blade of grass. There's only 11 guys on the field. I think it's been settled that there weren't 12 guys on the field. There were 12 and it was a very funny moment because you texted us like, I don't know, it was maybe 8.30 in the morning
Starting point is 00:21:21 and I had been up for a while. And I was like, PFT, I literally went through this exact same process with bed eyes looking at it and then woke up and like, you know, took a shower and then looked at it again and was like, oh yeah, I see this. Yeah, so there were in fact 12 people, but it's crazy because that is,
Starting point is 00:21:37 I think that was Buddy Ryan's Polish goal line defense. Yeah. Buddy Ryan came up with a strategy when he was on the Eagles or it might have even been when he was on the Bears where if you're in a situation where it's inside the five yard line, just put like 12 guys back there and see if the refs call it.
Starting point is 00:21:52 I hope they don't call it, yeah. And if they call it big deal because you only give up like a yard and a half. Right. If they don't call it, you get to run a play with 12 defenders out there, which is what ended up happening with the Bills and it worked out for him in the moment.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Yeah, yeah. Okay, let's talk some college football. Then we have some interviews. We have Peter Schrager coming up. College football, PFT was right. Washington takes down Oregon. I hate myself for, I like, I looked at the, I basically went back into the lab
Starting point is 00:22:22 and tried to figure out what happened with the Chernobyl explosion in my brain with the Pac-12. I realized that I just want the Pac-12 to be relevant because it's fun for college football. When in reality, I should have seen coming from a mile away, the Pac-12 in November, eating itself alive. And it wasn't just Washington beating Oregon
Starting point is 00:22:41 and eliminating Oregon. It was Arizona beating UCLA late at night as like a 20 point underdog and eliminating UCLA. So now the Pac-12 is just down to USC. And USC has to run the table. It's their last hope. And that was the big stuff out West. And then the big, big story is that TCU,
Starting point is 00:23:01 whether you wanna say that they've gotten lucky or not, they're a really good football team. And they went into Texas and they smothered a Texas offense that people thought or had high hopes for. And TCU completely owns its own destiny. They win, I think they have to play Baylor. They've already clinched the Pac,
Starting point is 00:23:18 or the big 12 championship game. They're gonna play Baylor and Baylor is coming off of getting absolutely destroyed. By Kansas. Then after that, I think that would mean that TCU would play either Kansas State or maybe Texas. Yeah, Texas might lose to Kansas this weekend. Texas, there's no difference
Starting point is 00:23:37 between what Sark has done so far at Texas and what Tom Herman had did. Actually, Tom Herman was better at this point. Tom Herman was about the same at this point. He beat more ranked teams. He went to a bowl. I know it's just Arch Manning. Sark got Arch Manning and also he almost beat Alabama.
Starting point is 00:23:55 But Quinn Ewers, and maybe it's injury, he's been just bad for the last four or five games. And much like we talk about the games that we think have meaning that don't later on in the season, Texas killing Oklahoma felt significant in the moment. Oklahoma sucks. So it's like Quinn Ewers had this incredible game and we all walked away being like Quinn Ewers, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Well, it turns out that Oklahoma is just a fucking absolute dumpster fire of a team right now. I could see Texas winning this week and then actually it would be the most Texas thing ever to win a big 12 going, would that be seven, four, eight and four? Yeah. And there's a bunch of obvious flaws on the team
Starting point is 00:24:39 and we're not sure if Sark's good, but they get that little one jewel in their diamond that they can be like, okay, Texas is going the right direction right now. But I just don't, it's funny because there was a lot made the close loss to Alabama and Alabama's not Alabama or of the past, diluted us all to be like, Sark's got this thing going in the right direction
Starting point is 00:25:01 and then he loses to Texas Tech and has the big moment where Game Day's their national spotlight and the offense lays an absolute egg against TCU, which TCU has not been like lighting the world on fire defensively, but TCU like at some point, a team gets to a point in the season where if you want to say luck, that's fine. And actually this is very similar to the Vikings.
Starting point is 00:25:24 They just know how to win football games. Like they're just nails. They're down, they come back, they win close games. There's has to be something to be said about a team that has that ability, grit, whatever you want to call it to just be able to win, come up in big moments with big plays to win football games. Maybe they're not blowing people out,
Starting point is 00:25:43 but it doesn't fucking matter when you're 10 and 0 in November. Yeah. It doesn't matter. I just think Texas, their ceiling is really, really high and their floor is really, really low. And that's kind of been the story for them for, I don't know, the last like five years, six years.
Starting point is 00:25:57 And yeah, they just need some form of consistency because they don't have it right now. But I still think any given set, they can beat TCU. And I mean, they weren't out of this game, it was 17-10. Yeah, no, it was a defensive slug fest, even though everyone thought it was gonna be a shootout, myself included. So now as it stands, if like everything,
Starting point is 00:26:18 let's just say everyone won the rest of their games, it would be Georgia, TCU, USC, and the winner of Ohio State, Michigan. That would be the college football playoff. I don't know. I would say that there's probably gonna be some chaos involved in there. The one thing I don't want is the chaos to be
Starting point is 00:26:36 TCU loses, USC loses, and then we get a college football playoff of just Michigan, Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee. I think that would kind of suck. Michigan, Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee would be... And there's also some UNC fans like, hey, what about us? Because we quietly have had one loss, but the ACC has been so bad.
Starting point is 00:26:54 If you got those four in, it would probably be Tennessee against Georgia. We've seen that before. They would make it, they would mix it up. And then Ohio State against Michigan again. Well, no, what they would do is Georgia'd be one. Georgia's basically one no matter what, right? Georgia'd be one.
Starting point is 00:27:10 The winner of Ohio State, Michigan would be two. Tennessee would be three. The loser of Ohio State, Michigan would be four. I think it all depends on what happens in the Ohio State, Michigan game. Yeah, it's gotta be close. There's a chance that we could just see two rematches in the semifinals.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Right. I think they will avoid it just because they want to avoid that type of stuff. Bad sports. It would be good for ratings. Yeah. To see Michigan, Ohio State in a playoff game would be incredible for ratings. It would be, I guess, just the Tennessee, Georgia game.
Starting point is 00:27:36 I would not look forward to that as a Tennessee fan. Yeah, that would not be fun. It seems like what happened in that first matchup between them is not something that's easily fixable. Right. And it does feel like that was a 14-point game on the box score. But if you watch it with your eyes, it was like,
Starting point is 00:27:54 if Georgia wanted to play as hard as they wanted to play for four quarters, it would not be that. And LSU still, LSU can still run the table and have a very good case to be in the college football playoff. And that was the hardest. That was probably the hardest game they were going to have to play after Alabama going to Arkansas,
Starting point is 00:28:12 11 AM kick. No KJ Jefferson, but they survived. So it's fun. There's going to be some fun wrinkles and chaos that happens down the stretch. And now we have 17. I think I want to say seven teams that, realistically, can still be in the playoff.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Eight, if you want to include UNC. It's fun. It's fun to have this many teams still alive in November. It's also the beginning of plane tracking season in college football. Oh, yeah, Lane Kiffin. So Lane Kiffin. The Lane Kiffin alert is officially on.
Starting point is 00:28:45 I don't think Lane Kiffin would leave a job after only a couple of years. I think he's a little bit more loyal than that. So it's sad to see people speculating. But they're saying, you might go to Auburn. I've got a better idea. Why don't the Raiders fire Josh McDaniel? I like that.
Starting point is 00:28:59 And then they hire Lane Kiffin. I'm coming home. It's coming home. Lane Kiffin goes to coach for the Raiders. Yes. I like that. And for those of you who weren't around the first time Lane Kiffin got fired from the Raiders,
Starting point is 00:29:10 it was an all time moment when Al Davis brought out the overhead projector like your teacher used to bring in. And then he just put together a PowerPoint presentation without using a computer just saying what a piece of shit Lane Kiffin was. And that's why he was being fired. And meanwhile, his face was falling off. Yeah, Lane Kiffin has been involved
Starting point is 00:29:29 in two of the most hilarious firings in football history. That being left on the tarmac with USC. But yeah, that would be great. Lane Kiffin, also his post game press conference after Alabama, that sounds like a guy who wants to go to Auburn. Because he essentially was like, we were right there. I wish we had a few more dudes. And guess who can get a few more dudes?
Starting point is 00:29:52 Auburn. You think Auburn is that much better of a job than Ole Miss? Yes. Yes. I think it probably has more money. I think there's probably. There's no men's seat. The recruiting talent is probably.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I mean, Lane Kiffin's done an incredible job like the transfer portal and everything. But if you add the transfer portal and the recruiting to Auburn, now you're talking about a national championship. Because there is. He's probably also timing the end of Saban's career. Well, he wants to beat Saban. He just wants to beat him.
Starting point is 00:30:19 He does. But he probably also knows that Saban's. Saban's probably going to be gone within five years, you would imagine, right? And now if he's in state, clean up the pieces. And then he goes to Alabama. And then Auburn's also stuck in the worst spot you could possibly be if you're a college football team.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Your interim head coach, who's a legend, Cadillac Williams, wins a game, has in two weeks playing against Alabama. If they win that game, there's going to be a lot of people being like, he just has to out. He should just have the job. Yeah. And then you might get stuck midway through next year being
Starting point is 00:30:49 like, wait, what did we do? We could have had Lane Kiffin. Also, it's really tough to not hire a guy named Cadillac. Yeah. But if he's shown that he can do the job, that's a difficult decision to make. Because that's a you differentiate yourself in the market a little bit in the marketplace.
Starting point is 00:31:05 If your head coach's name is Cadillac. Absolutely. Also, Deion Sanders is trolling Nebraska. I don't know if you've seen this. He followed Nebraska on Instagram. I don't. I have no inside information. I just know that Deion Sanders does not like cold weather.
Starting point is 00:31:21 I know a guy that is very close to Deion Sanders, actually. I've got some inside sources. I can confirm that Deion Sanders will not be the next head coach. It would be funny. Nebraska Cornhuskers. Although Deion's probably just using them to get an offer. Deion's a good businessman.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Yeah. He might just stay and just keep building what he's building at Jackson. I want to talk to, so Dana is our inside guy at Jackson. I want to just get Deion to just jump on a bunch of planes and just travel to every city. Like I want him to fly to Auburn. I want him to fly to every single college town that
Starting point is 00:31:54 has even a speculative opening. And just have everybody going nuts trying to track his plane. Yep. I'm in for it. I would like to see UNC maybe run the table and see what that looks like just because Drake May is electric. But I do think that their loss to Notre Dame at home
Starting point is 00:32:12 is going to probably deter people. They have been like the most quiet one loss team in the country. Like they they're going to get to the college football or sorry, the the ACC championship. And everyone's like, wait, UCLA has one loss. Yeah. And I mixed up my former Auburn coaches when I talked about UNC last week.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Gene Chiswick is their defensive coordinator. Not Gus Malzahn, but Gene Chiswick. Gus is at UCF who has who's been who's probably the best power five or non-power five team now. That's a shock. Yeah. That's a shock to me. He playing really.
Starting point is 00:32:47 They went to Tulane and beat Tulane who has the coolest helmets and colorway in all of college football. I would say James used probably the best group of five before they got injured. But before they got. UCF's doing fine, too, I guess. But it'd be it'd be funny to see you and see get into the playoff. Just because I think that Georgia might be able to hang 100 on Georgia.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Would just Georgia would just sit on them. I think a hundred points. Yeah. Fat man sitting on a small man in a very cool Carolina blue polo. That's that's what exactly that's exactly what it would look like. It would just be a total squashing. OK, anything else from college football? Jake, you got something?
Starting point is 00:33:25 Yeah, to your point earlier about LSU still being in the mix. Usually your second loss is the dagger, right? But this year is a little bit different. We've never seen a two loss team in the playoff. Correct. That's even a conversation this year makes it unique. And it will be a big time problem if they run the table and then they have to like Tennessee will have a very, very fair gripe because they went to Baton Rouge and and absolutely murdered LSU.
Starting point is 00:33:51 So they will have a very fair gripe. I was talking if they get left out. I was talking to Big T about that the other day and Big T will storm. He'll find a capital that needs protesting and he will he will do some damage if that ends up being a LSU team that gets in ahead of them. It's my favorite part of college football season because every every fan base is just loaded with their facts and resume.
Starting point is 00:34:12 So if you ask anyone like you ask a Tennessee fan, if you ask an LSU fan, if you ask a TCU fan, they will just have a list of facts that they've been going over in their head ready to go to just like be like, you're so wrong. Yeah, just give us 12, but then number 13. So all right. So here's here's the only thing I'll say about 12. I am very much in favor of 12. But a lot of these games wouldn't have meant as much.
Starting point is 00:34:36 You know what I mean? Like UCLA and Oregon would still be in it. Like that wouldn't have been as a substantial of a loss by the by the Pac 12 team. So there is an argument. I think Tom Fornelly makes that argument that you do lose a little bit because there would be all these teams that are safely in it. But I still want to play. But I think regardless of if there's 12 teams or not,
Starting point is 00:34:57 Oregon Washington game is going to mean a lot to both those fan bases. Of course. That's going to be that's why I thought Washington had a chance. Whenever you have a rivalry game like that later on the season, when when the Lesser team has still shown that they can be competent and can be feisty, like the fact that its rivalry game gives it that extra boost sometimes to the underdogs. So I feel like in a situation like that, 12 if it's 12 teams in the playoffs, it shouldn't matter that much.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Maybe it's like a national audience. Yeah, no, I wouldn't mean I'm not. I'm definitely not making that argument. I'm just saying some people, Tom Fornelly, have made that argument that you you lose a little bit of a luster because all these teams. I I would love to see a 12 team playoff this year just so that I could see 12 seed Alabama be like plus 150 to win the title. Yeah, that would be very funny.
Starting point is 00:35:44 And you know, like seeing 12 seed Alabama plus 150 to win the title. And then like six seed UNC being like plus 2000. Yeah, just just because it would just be like, OK, we know what's going to happen. You kind of do have me rooting now for for UNC to make the final four just so just so we can see what George is smashing. Yeah, the absolute smashing. OK, let's get to Hot Sea Cool Throne. Then we have Peter Schrager.

Dan, my hot seat is Yassiel Pwig. Oh, yeah, I haven't heard that name in a while. Yeah, well, I don't think you'll be hearing that name much ever again. Honestly, he's definitely not going to play in the MLB ever again.
Starting point is 00:37:22 He got busted for lying to the FBI and being at the center of an underground gambling operation. And it's looking like he's going to be facing real jail time. Really? So the headline was very bad. And then the story I read it and it was like he bet he took out a lot of money and then he bet nine hundred bets in three months. And I was like lightweight, dude. Yeah, here's here's the here's the quote by June 2019.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Puy goes down two hundred eighty two grand after paying off two hundred grand of his losses in regaining access to the controlled betting websites. He plays eight hundred and ninety nine additional bets on tennis, football and basketball games. OK, that's irresponsible. July 4th, 2019 to September 29th, 2019. And that in the tennis part is where it comes becomes irresponsible because that means he was basically like, I'm down. What games are on?
Starting point is 00:38:17 It's like seven in the morning. Oh, they're playing tennis in in Australia. It's when you when you're betting. Yeah, eight hundred ninety nine bets during the summer is is tough. When you're betting on, especially if you're not betting baseball, that you have no intention of ever tuning into like a sport that you don't watch and a match that you will not be tuning into. That's when you've probably got yourself an old.
Starting point is 00:38:37 But he made a shitload of money, right? Didn't he make like 50 million dollars? Yeah, probably. Yeah. So I guess it's responsible, right? You didn't lose 50 million. What basketball would he be betting on in that time frame? There's FIBA, FIBA World Champions. There's all types of leagues that are going on Israeli at all times, the Olympics.
Starting point is 00:38:57 All times. You can always find a basketball. A women's basketball, WNBA. Yeah, true. Sexist. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, he helped week flash in the pan. He was so good. He was so good. Absolute cannon. Well, there was a clip of him, too, like in wherever I think it might have been
Starting point is 00:39:15 in China or like Taiwan, where he is still it was like he was in the right field. And he he had a put out at third. That was just on a laser. So he still still has it, but not in the MLB. My cool throne is Pete Davidson. Yeah. Yeah. He's now dating. Long for Pete.
Starting point is 00:39:34 All right, that's progressive. That's progressive. No, I like that. That's the first male bonk on the list. He's now dating Emily Raczkowski. So Pete Davidson has fucked every woman on the planet. He's probably going to get bored and come for you next. And guess what? I bet you Pete David said he could talk like 50 percent of dudes into it.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Dudes just got it. I don't know what it is, but like, I don't know, slaking. Yeah, save from some for the rest of us, Pete. Come on, bro. It's not fair. What are you saying? I don't know. I'm trying to think of how to describe it. I do. I do think there he definitely has whatever it is he's got it. But I also think there's an element of sadness, celebrity. No, definitely not sadness.
Starting point is 00:40:17 But like, oh, I think there's actually an element of sadness. Date, you know, once you date Ariana Grande and then it's like it's cool. And you date Kim Kardashian, then any girl will date. Yes, a Seinfeld episode. Yeah, that's correct dates of a model. That's how it works. If. Yeah. So if you if you somehow communicate, people are like, I mean, Emily Rice Kelsey, it's like, no, you got to date someone famous first. Yeah, and then maybe you got to get your resume up.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Yeah, you just have to once if a woman sees you dating a beautiful woman, they're like, oh, beautiful woman like him. I'm beautiful. I guess I should like him, too. Yeah, the word is out. Yeah. Could it be a PR thing? Uh, I mean, the sex. I don't know. Just like, do this to make headlines. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:00 From Emily's side. Yeah. Like, or from Pete's side. Pete, I'm sure from Emily's side, it's like, David's and David's is like, yeah, if you can. Yeah, right. I do think that Pete is like the the Jim Harbaugh. Like, are you addicted to sex? You have a sex problem. You dig the sex.
Starting point is 00:41:15 But hey, love is love, right? Yeah, PFT. I mean, PFT is bonking. No, I'm just saying, I think Pete David thinks he's probably going to fuck everybody. Yes. If you can hear my voice right now, Pete Davidson, eventually we'll move on to you. You're not safe. Lock your doors. Just accept it. Yeah. If you get to a conversation, male or female with Pete Davidson at a bar,
Starting point is 00:41:34 you're going to go home with them. That's just kind of how it works. That's a fact. OK, you're cool. Throwing. Oh, I have another one. Yeah, good. Boston Sports, Southwest Best Record NBA, Bruins Best Record in the NHL, Patriots in the playoffs as of today. They are. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:50 The that I saw that clip on Twitter of Jason Tatum's technical was very funny. Worse. I mean, it was the worst technical. Tim Duncan, somewhere, smiling, being like, see, sport. Yeah. Yeah. He just did nothing. And they teed him up to me. That's NBA refs. I I do find humor in it.
Starting point is 00:42:07 It's obviously I don't want it to ever happen in the playoffs and it has. But when they're just like, yeah, this is my court. Yeah. Oh, you. Oh, you. Oh, you showed a little bit of emotion. T. It's got to feel awesome, too. He pre teed him. He's like, I'm going to do something. He's going to say something to me.
Starting point is 00:42:22 But then. But he didn't. But he still teed him up like from a human, just a very basic human level. We should probably change like how technicals or tossouts and like in baseball happen because it's got to be fun. Like, if you're a ref, just blowing the whistle and just going tee. Like, that's a fun thing to do. I think if we had to do like the jerk off, so you look like an idiot. If you're power ranking the the like coolest ways to throw somebody out of a
Starting point is 00:42:51 game, number one has got to be baseball. Yeah. You're up, right? Doing the you're out of here, out of here. That's the sickest. Number two would probably be NBA team up hard and then point and be like, get the fuck out of my face. The NFL, I think, has it right because they just have to like calmly get on a speaker and say has been disqualified and the person kind of in
Starting point is 00:43:08 the player kind of just stands on the sideline for a little bit, being like, am I really out of here? Yeah. And then they get like one entry level, like a marketing person to. Yeah, yeah. It's always like a young kid in a polo shirt. It's like trying to wrangle the biggest, most angriest guy. And you're like, OK, hey, buddy, we got to go into the tunnel now. But just think about it like a baseball ump calling a big strike three to end an inning. Yeah, has to be fun. That has to be fun.
Starting point is 00:43:34 So we have to maybe take away the fun level of it. Because yeah, if you're like a baseball up and you're just bored back there, you're like, I haven't been able to punch someone out for a while. I'm going to do this. I think you have to have a it should be like a man to man conversation with a guy that you're throwing out off camera. Yeah. You don't even get to celebrate. You just say, OK, let's go into the dugout and have a conversation.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Three dejections like there's streakers on the field. Yeah, that's. Don't give in the air time. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Good job, Hank. PFT. My hot seat is crypto in general. Sam Bankman freed from FTX is the latest Bernie Madoff right now. It's been in the news. He had, I think, about $40 billion.
Starting point is 00:44:16 And now he has zero dollars because his entire platform went bankrupt because his business rival, the dude at Binance, found out that he could buy all the coins that FTX was making. Because basically FTX had a big shell game going on with their whole thing. FTX, you've probably seen them. They actually sponsored. They put their logo on MLB umpire uniforms. They sponsored our stuff sometimes.
Starting point is 00:44:40 They sponsored our stuff. They put theirs on on. I don't think they were a part of my take, though. I don't think I'm part of my take. College football show. OK. Dropped a bag. Yeah, they did. They dropped a bag. Well, I can speak freely because I don't think I ever took their money.
Starting point is 00:44:55 We can speak freely, too. I mean, listen, we. Yeah, they. We thought that they were a real company. They had fucking Tom Brady and Larry David doing Tom Brady. When he when Tom Brady checks, when Tom Brady changed his eyes to be activated in his avatar, that's how you knew it was real. Right. But yeah, I think the most brilliant move that they had was sponsoring Major League Baseball umpire uniforms.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Because if you see an umpire sponsored by something, you naturally think to yourself, oh, this is a legitimate company. This couldn't be more legit. They follow the rules. Yeah. They sponsor the ultimate rules, guys. So this was also my hot seat in a crazier part of the story was that turns out this Sam Bankman freed guy, the offices were in the Bahamas. And in the offices, they had orientations on how to properly use
Starting point is 00:45:39 amphetamines to work harder and faster. Turns out, allegedly, the Sam Bankman guy was using patches that were supposed to be for people with Parkinson's and other types of like disorders that they needed, like serious stuff. And turns out those drugs had side effects that didn't allow them to eat anything except soylent protein drinks. So it was just a whole bunch of dudes in the Bahamas getting hyped up off of weird ass medicines.
Starting point is 00:46:07 All these crypto guys and like futurists, I always feel like their big goal in life is to figure out how not to have any fun and become a computer. Yeah. So they're like, oh, I love drinking this soylent shit because it eliminates the need for meals, which is inefficient. I fucking I love eating meals and they're they're trying to take all these like amphetamines to stay up. They don't have to sleep as much. I love going to sleep.
Starting point is 00:46:29 I like eating meals. I like falling asleep. And they're just trying to like optimize their bodies to just they do want to become a piece of software at some point themselves. So yeah, it's it's been it's been crazy to see all the postmortems that are starting to come out because it looks like they were all fucking each other, too. And and there's like it's an ongoing scam
Starting point is 00:46:47 because there was this whole thing where they had technology getting in the back end to basically delete a bunch of stuff. Sam Bankman Fried has been tweeting through the whole thing. And the other day he tweeted what happened, but he did like H A P all in separate tweets. And then people realized what he was doing was he was deleting old tweets and then posting new ones so that it stayed exactly the same.
Starting point is 00:47:10 His amount of tweets. And now people are like pulling all his tweet archive so he can't he can't get away with deleting them. It's like he's he's a scammer. But because it's in the Bahamas, he hasn't been arrested yet. So he's like trying to scam his way out of a scam. Yeah, fascinating. He's also Dan Snyder's neighbor in the Bahamas.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Which is interesting. It'd be real shame if if he got caught up in it, too. I would. But yeah, it's it's been crazy to see because apparently the way that this all worked was they had FTX was very trusted. It was looked at as being like the future, the safe investment that you can make. And then Bankman Fried was trying to write all the legislation that was going to govern crypto currencies in the future because he knows
Starting point is 00:47:53 that one day the government is going to have very specific rules around crypto. So I figured why why don't I just write it that way I can write my rules in. That's what that's what like Ticketmaster did back in the day. Yeah, they wrote all the laws. So he wanted to write all of his own laws. And then that pissed off the guy from Binance, who was like, I'm Mr. Crypto, I'm open source, no rules for anybody, deregulate everything. So then the dude from Binance was like, I'm going to buy so much of this guy's
Starting point is 00:48:20 fake money and then I'm going to sell it all at once, which is going to make his fake money crash, which is going to crash his other business. And he's going to lose 30 billion dollars overnight. Crazy. It kind of rocks. It's it rocks because and I feel bad for people who have gotten hurt in this. I have never my brain is too small to understand crypto. So whenever a crypto scam comes about, I'm like, thank God for my idiocy. Yeah, no, I mean, I did buy Doge as a joke.
Starting point is 00:48:50 And then a couple board apes in my portfolio. Well, of course, we have to get the Slurp juices too. And then I also was heavily leveraged and come rocket for a period of time. I remember there was a moment I was walking down the street. It was probably about maybe it was like July, June, whatever. Some guy stopped me. It was like, Big Cat, what's up, man? He's like, dude, you got to get into board apes. I just sold mine. I made like three hundred thousand dollars.
Starting point is 00:49:13 I was like, this doesn't feel right. Yeah. And then but then you say like, what is a board ape? And then it's like, well, that's a five hour long conversation. Right. Right. So I know a thousand dollars in an NBA top shot. Yeah. Oh, yeah. My I haven't even thought about going on that website in over a year. This is where our stupidity actually saves us,
Starting point is 00:49:32 because we just as a podcast are are very shielded away from from these. I also actual things like Alex Caruso chased down block highlights. I also tried multiple times or like would see stuff and kind of get brainwashed by NFT stuff. I was like, fuck, I got to get it on this. And then the like six step verification stopped me. Yeah, right. Download this app and then download this add on and then put your money here. And I was like, I just stopped.
Starting point is 00:49:59 It was like, fuck it. Dude, I got given one. That was the best thing that's ever happened. I got given two. I think I own two NFTs and they had they it was like it's the encryption is so like deep level security that we're going to give you a password that you'll never be able to find again, that you have to write on a piece of paper and save. I lost that. So that's yeah, that's another one where it's like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Yep. I don't know where it is. We believe we we sold NFTs once. You sold NFTs. I do. So yeah, I feel that you. So what's this money? I just saw an opportunity. Well, went to it. Vaughn Miller tried to buy an NFT from you. Vaughn Miller is well, this is probably going to make Tom Brady play for another
Starting point is 00:50:40 couple of seasons. Vaughn Miller has a shitload of money in NFTs. And I do feel again, I do feel bad for anyone who got scammed by this dude because it fucking sucks. And there's like nothing you can do about it. Yeah, well, I also don't get like they don't talk about the people enough. Like they don't they're just like, oh, this is crazy. But how like there's a lot of people that lost a lot of money. Yes, I know. And a lot of people who lost jobs, like all of that.
Starting point is 00:51:01 A lot of hedge funds, too, that were like deeply invested in this. It's very similar to 2008 crash, where it's like all these people lost their house, their money, their jobs. And then like one guy went to jail. Yeah, well, this guy is still not in jail. No, I know, I know. It's just they haven't tracked down yet. It's always shitty for regular people.
Starting point is 00:51:18 OK, your cool, my cool throne is moms, moms out there. What? Yeah, they're right. Are you talking about the Josh Allen thing, Billy? Yeah. Yeah, we all saw it. Yeah, moms are on the cool throne because there's a petition with over 1500 signatures out there of just moms telling Josh Allen that it'll be OK. Because sometimes you just need a mom to tell you that everything's going to be OK. And I saw that I was like, damn, that's so true.
Starting point is 00:51:43 It's so true. It is so true. Like there should be an app for Tinder, but it's just moms just to come and give you a call, maybe just like walk into the living room. Handy nice cup of cocoa and say everything's going to be fine. You're in a little bit of a funk right now because he is. Josh Allen is in a funk. He's not playing great and everything's going to be OK. Everything's going to be OK.
Starting point is 00:52:04 So I thought that was a nice thing to do. Yeah, Buffalo always has the like most hilarious different online petitions or fundraisers. Like remember when Andy Dalton got them into the playoffs? Yeah, they raised a bunch of money in Andy Dalton's name for the Children's Hospital. Buffalo is very good at the Internet. Yes, they are. They they're always they always get together for this stuff. OK, my hot seat is big coffee coming for that ass.
Starting point is 00:52:27 So you probably see it. If you're watching on YouTube, please subscribe and like the YouTube. Stella Blue Coffee. So I created a coffee company. Stella Blue Coffee, you know, my dog Stella, most people know. And I really, really like this coffee. If you are a coffee drinker, go to StellaBlueCoffee.com. You can join the coffee club as well.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Hank and Max went with me. They've seen the process. I taste a lot of coffee. We're keeping it simple. There's three rows on one blend, so it's nothing not trying to do anything fancy, just like, you know, running the power sweep. But anyone who likes coffee, I really do think this is very good coffee. And there's going to be a portion of the proceeds going to Pause Chicago.
Starting point is 00:53:10 The shelter that I adopted Stella from. So and also tune in, this is already out, the making the brand. Hank made me talk about Stella getting old, so I almost cried. That's kind of addictive, Hank. But yeah, I do think it's very good coffee. I really like the coffee. If you want to buy it, awesome. If you don't, that's also cool.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Guess what? If you don't want to buy it, my content's still free. So that's the nice part. I had two cups for breakfast today. Hell, yes, it's the best coffee I've ever had in my life. Actually, you you already wrote a review on the website. So I did. I did. Oh, yeah. That's right. No, yeah. If you saw your review, somebody just texted or tweeted the review to me. Yeah. What does it say again?
Starting point is 00:53:49 I think it just says, hang on, I'm going to pull it up right now. Let me read my review for you. Here, I'll read. If you go to Stell Blue Coffee, you can see there's been a few reviews. Crazy how fast that people were reviewing it. Five stars. PFT's review, I'm scrolling. PFT said tastes like liquid courage.
Starting point is 00:54:07 I have no idea who Big Cat even is. Never met him, but man was this coffee good saying it's the best I've ever tasted would be an understatement. There also is a one from Henry L. In New York saying this coffee gives me confidence. I drank this coffee and for the first time in my life, I thought I could someday guess the lottery ball machine correctly. Everyone knows I obviously won't, but with Stell Blue Coffee in my system,
Starting point is 00:54:28 maybe parentheses, I won't. Wow, that's that was really nice, Hank or Henry L. I don't know who I live in New Jersey. So I don't know. OK, so someone has someone else. It's delicious, though. Yes, I enjoyed it. I had two cups for breakfast.
Starting point is 00:54:41 I plan on starting my day with a nice deuce. Because I was actually thinking about what I'm going to make. I'm going to make a bet with everything I win from the water. I it's coming. I I'm 23 more shows. OK, I'm going to get. I'm going to bring cash in next show. I think my odds are better.
Starting point is 00:54:57 I want you to look at the cash action. I mean, OK, but I was thinking about it. Wait, you think that your odds are better at winning once and they are winning twice. I think you might be right. I'm not a math guy. Yeah, no, I'd agree. But I think that I'd agree. I you wouldn't we would need a fucking super nerd to figure this out.
Starting point is 00:55:14 The odds of going over whatever I've gone. There's a better chance that I go one for whatever I've gone than over whatever over that number. Yeah, no, that's no. That's already for that. Hank, Hank, that's like if I started playing Major League Baseball and I was batting like zero, zero, zero. I'm like, wow, if you look at the statistics like the odds are way better
Starting point is 00:55:35 than I would have a greater batting average than zero, zero, zero. If you look at every other major league, I might just put it on the Vikings when the Super Bowl. You're a real piece of shit. You guys are pieces. Sometimes you're a piece of shit. You guys are pieces of shit. Thank you for leaving that five star.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Yeah, exactly. I do appreciate that. But yes, still blue coffee. Go check it out. I think I said in the making the brand, it's a coffee company that hopefully someday my kids can have because I smut blogged so they don't have to smut blog. It's like the olive oil business with the mafia. I was in the I was in the Internet Mines looking for guess that ass.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Are you so they don't someday have to do that? Are you concerned that when you pass the brand down to them and they inherit it or just coming out after that, they'll have to pay the inheritance tax on the still blue. Yes, yes, and they won't be afford that. I won't give a fuck because I'll be dead. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's the nice part. And then my cool throne is love because I don't know if this is actually
Starting point is 00:56:30 an official relationship. There's been a lot of rumors, but it does feel like Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan's son might be dating, which is awesome. Jeans. That's love. Yeah. Scotty, I'm sure is happy. Good job. Good job, Jordan family. Yeah. Being a being a dog runs in that family.
Starting point is 00:56:47 I just imagine MJ being like, did you hear all that shit about Scotty saying that LeBron's better than me? Go hit up Larsa. Yeah. Let's let's start this relationship. That's tough. That's tough. Billy, my hot seat. Sorry. My hot seat is Trent Williams. So Trent Williams, a tackle on the 49ers apparently might be tipping
Starting point is 00:57:07 pass or run plays by his stances. Shout out Twitter user Jayne underscore LSS as some of the difficulties in the path of the running game with Debo Samuel specifically might be because of Trent Williams tipping off plays with this. Oh, no. So shout out that Twitter user. You went through the all 22 and found this tell. OK. Pitching tell. Interesting. And my cool throne is the solo pod.
Starting point is 00:57:33 After some technical difficulties, shout out all producers. Barstool Sports specifically. It's hard to produce a podcast. I've been trying to do it all weekend. It's pretty difficult dealing with large file sizes. It's Tuesday. Right. It's coming out Wednesday. You started to upload it on Friday, though.
Starting point is 00:57:50 The internet was slow. So, you know, apparently 12 gigabyte file needs to be compressed in order to get uploaded anywhere. Something I just didn't know and shout out Avery. Shout out everyone in the control room and help me out with that. That's coming out Wednesday. You grind it all weekend trying to get it up. It was really like a 48 hour long podcast.
Starting point is 00:58:09 No, I got the the the podcast done by getting the file. Yeah, that's well, that's not done. Well, when we tape this, it's not done till it's up. Right. Otherwise, we're just making. I know. But now this is just we're just talking into nothing. And it's a three hour podcast alone. Well, it's two hours and 20. OK, once it was edited down.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Yeah, because come on, no one's dead air. Yeah. And yeah. And also, how the hell? Well, it wouldn't wouldn't. You've already only produced dead air because you haven't even put it up. Right. But it's scheduled. It's scheduled. OK.
Starting point is 00:58:41 It's officially going to compete with this podcast. Is it is it compressed? Yes, it's compressed. Ready to go. OK. Also, how did you have the exact hot throne? Hot, hot, that was crazy. I don't know. That's scary. He does have access to the internet.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Yeah. I mean, the FDX story was the biggest story in the news. Yeah. And I got set the Josh Allen thing a bunch. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Mom's. My hot seat is the city of Oakland. So there's been rumors about them losing the A's to Vegas. Oh, no. And they are.
Starting point is 00:59:10 The A's are playing two spring training games in Vegas this year. So essentially, the rumors are escalating a little bit. Did you guys see like your wife going on vacation staying like at her personal trainer's house? Yeah. It's it's insulting to Oakland that they have to deal with this right now. Yeah. It's or or or your wife learning karate and getting put into a chokehold
Starting point is 00:59:31 and then posting about how cool it was that she learned a chokehold. Oh, no, Jiu Jitsu. Jiu Jitsu. Yeah. And then going to it's like it's like if what if you lost like a bunch of money in crypto and then your wife went on vacation to Costa Rica with her karate instructor? That's kind of like what the Oakland A's are dealing with right now. Yeah. The A's. I did you guys see Jimmy G. Last night at the Warriors game, he had like it was
Starting point is 00:59:54 I don't know if it was a bit or anything. And probably wasn't because he's Jimmy G. It was Jimmy G. Kittle, a couple other Niners. The entire Warriors cheerleader staff came up and just only said hello to Jimmy G. Like all of them one by one, like in a row, just came up. I was like, hey, Jimmy, hey, Jimmy, hey, Jimmy. And then our guy Kittle, which we got to get deleted from the internet.
Starting point is 01:00:14 But the ref did the whole like here, take the ball and then took it back. Yeah, three times. Well, I mean, kept on trying to grab it. They probably knew that Kittle was he's off limits. Yeah, no, but the ref was playing with him. I didn't like it. Yeah, it's a little disrespectful. Yeah. My guy Anthony Lamper, Vermont, by the way,
Starting point is 01:00:29 he's in the mix and they're on the Warriors rotation now. OK. Five of six from three. Oh, 17 points off the bench. Bang. Undrafted. Love it. On the season. No, last night. Wow. 17 points. That's pretty. That's that's nice. Yeah, it's almost as good as Del Vidova.
Starting point is 01:00:44 He had three. He had a big three the other day. About five of them. Oh, three. Yeah. Is that on the show? I don't know. It was it was so funny. No, you guys, you guys didn't know that Deli was in the NBA. I didn't realize that I was on the king. And I. Yeah. And obviously, like I stay, I stay on Deli's case. And I was against in the NBA.
Starting point is 01:01:02 He had a three the other day. And I was just like, wait, he hit a three. Yeah. He still got it. It was a huge night. He hit a three. And then speaking of the NBA, this also happens on the night. We should have mentioned it, but Joel M. B. is my cool throne. Oh, yeah. He had a heck of a watch out. Thank you, Jake.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Thank you, Jake. It should have been mentioned. It should have been mentioned. I mentioned it. No, we said after the show, we should have mentioned it on the show. I said after the show, it should have been mentioned. Yeah. So be careful. The first player with 50, 10, five and five since blocks became an official stat in 1973, 74. That's a pretty good night. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:36 That's a pretty solid night. And also, listen, Deli had five points, November 2nd. OK, it wasn't just the three. He had another field goal and an assist and a steal. That's that's almost as impressive as Joel and beads night. He had a three. I hit a three. OK, good job, Jake. Let's get to our interview.

OK, here he is. Peter Stregger. Oh, OK, we now welcome on a very special guest, long overdue. You can see him every single morning on the NFL Network. Good morning, football.
Starting point is 01:03:47 He's also on the sidelines. He has a podcast. He does everything. It is Peter Stregger. Thank you for joining us in studio. You actually, I feel like you're the most for in terms of like football podcast, you're on the most football podcast. Yes, is that fair?
Starting point is 01:04:02 Like, I feel like I hear you on Simmons, Coward. Do you go Dan Patrick show? So we're just we're the last to it. Yeah, I was actually, I mean, I'm a huge fan of both of you guys. And I love what you guys have built. And I've long said, like our show, Good Morning Football was kind of built and no one knew it. And then we now have this thing and it's like, we're authentic.
Starting point is 01:04:21 We are who we are. And I think you guys have that also. So I'm honored to be asked. But yeah, I do Coward every week. I do Bill Simmons every Friday. But this is a thrill. So OK, who's the best? You can't say yes.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Yeah, you guys have the most listeners, right? I think. No, no, no, like what? We're going to ask that. What's your favorite show to go on? I like Simmons. So you hate Colin Coward. I hate Colin.
Starting point is 01:04:42 Yeah, Colin puts me in the corner now. Take Superguy. Yeah. The thing about the supermarket that makes you remind me of Justin Fields, but by the way, Strager, I should say I'm going to back him up because we do have guests on every now and then who will be like, oh, I love you guys. I love what you built. Strager's in the small, small minority of people who is being 100% authentic
Starting point is 01:05:06 when he says that because he'll text me out of nowhere, sometimes being like Frank, like watching Frank, the tank on the street and it'd be like what Frank did was so funny. And I'm like, dude, like you're you're looking NFL insider. Like why are you watching us sit and watch fucking playoff baseball? It was like a Sunday or a Saturday night. And Frank was having a complete meltdown over the Yankee game. But there was also a Dolphins game where Michael McDaniel was like fucking up
Starting point is 01:05:32 fourth down situations. And I'm like, forget like blogosphere. This is a superstar this man that I'm watching. This is incredible. And you're in the back row just checking your phone. I'm like, how are you? It's incredible watching you guys in the different worlds you guys navigate. But yes, I've always.
Starting point is 01:05:48 And I also think you appreciate it. And I feel the same way with good morning football. People come by and I'm like, I'm not thirsty to come on. I've never asked. Hey, can I come on? And you know, those are the best guests. The ones who just like our fans and know it and are just not looking for the clout of being on it.
Starting point is 01:06:00 Yeah. Yeah. The one thing I'm always impressed with you guys on good morning football is just the fact that you wake up in the morning and are able to speak. Like I need a good probably two and a half hour buffer zone from the time I get out of bed to when I'm able to effectively communicate with anybody. So were you guys like always morning people? No. And I get up at 4 30 every morning. And that's terrible season. It's hard because I'll watch the games the night games too.
Starting point is 01:06:24 So, you know, it's short out. Like, Dan will do like the the the coffee tweet. And I'm like, oh, you're already three hours in. Yeah, you're four. That's not that funny. Like, this is my afternoon. Yeah. But the one bright thing is like the bright side of it is we are done at 10 a.m. And it's like, all right, you've got a day ahead of you.
Starting point is 01:06:42 And I've got to do my usual work and whatever it is. But the mornings are the weirdest thing is though, like the other there's like a small community that's up at that hour. Yeah. It's like before the world is away. People you see in the street, like people you see on Twitter who tweeted that hour, NFL coaches, they're all sick, like they're up. So a lot of the stuff I get at 7 a.m. I'm the first person talking on the show.
Starting point is 01:07:03 I've got this great platform at the NFL. But like I've spoken to a lot of the NFL coaches already because they're up at 4 a.m. Also, they're wired that way. OK, so who is who's your most trusted source? Go on. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. All right. So like, who are the guys that don't screw me come like after?
Starting point is 01:07:21 If I say, yeah, well, we know McVay, you like hang out at his house. You're like best friend. Do you sleep at his house? I've not slept. Have you showered at his house? Yes, I've once bathed. OK, there we go. Does he wear a shirt around the house? Yes. Fantastic shirtless opportunities, though, throughout the day.
Starting point is 01:07:35 You don't know when it's going to happen, but he does always pop it off. It always. We're we're big McVay fans. We also like we kind of have we have his number right now because he owes us. He he welts on a bet and we saw him in Indianapolis a few years ago. And he's like, you guys got to take it easy on my facial hair, making fun of my face. It's very like that was the dumbest thing you could tell us.
Starting point is 01:07:56 It's the perfect line. He's got a perfect. He I swear to God, he lines it up with this with a razor every Sunday. It's gorgeous. It's always perfect. But we do like McVay a lot. And he's a phenomenal, phenomenal head coach. What is the vibe, though? Like, let's just start with this, because we're talking about all the league.
Starting point is 01:08:12 But like the Rams, yeah, they're cooked. Are they not cooked? And I know you could say they're cooked. The cup injury scares me. And we're recording this on, you know, the early in the week. But I think he might be out a month. And then you're like, all right. So at this point, you got no talent at the skill position players that is as evident as it was last year.
Starting point is 01:08:30 O'Dell's not coming. Stafford. We're not sure. So cooked. But the problem is the Lions have their pick. Yeah. So it's like, here's the season. Oh, you wash it away. But we get a top. No, like that goes to Detroit. Yeah. So I don't think it's turning around for them.
Starting point is 01:08:46 I was with him at the bye week, McVay. I went over his place because I'm in LA every week. I do the Fox pregame show on Sundays and I was there and we went out on Saturday night. And it was like at this like crossroads of the season. And his whole thing was like, I can't I can't go out like this. Like, we're going to figure this out. And if it's not this year, like we'll figure it out next.
Starting point is 01:09:03 Like so all the talk of him like doing TV and all that shit, like he's in. Like he this isn't how he's going to be going down. Right. Because it would be, you know, if he has bad year this year and injuries happen, it's hard to repeat. But you don't want to have two of them stack up year. You know, next year as well. Is it hard, though? You know, we we get the luxury.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Do you ever look at us being like, I wish I could like criticize? Like I do, though, like I'm pretty critical. You are not them. Well, you didn't even say they're cooked. They're cooked. They look nice and sizzling. No, they're cooked. They're dead. Done. They're done. It's tough to come back from Colt McCoy. Clip that for me. Let's send that to Sean McVay.
Starting point is 01:09:40 So so who is a guy that you have been critical of? Who's like we we take a lot of shots at Kirk Cousins. Yeah, on the show, he's kind of become he's our bitch this year. Yeah, but we also we take like very hard shots at Josh Allen. We said that he shouldn't throw interceptions. Yeah, you shouldn't do that. He's very critical. He needs to stop doing that.
Starting point is 01:10:00 And also he tries too hard on defense after he throws an interception. That's the take because I know it's like people too hard. There's a couple of coaches who I've had, you know, critical things to say. And they've like stopped me in my tracks. Ron Rivera is the first one for me. OK. First year of the show, we're coming out hot. I've got this TV show, this cool opportunity. I'm so important in.
Starting point is 01:10:20 I've got sizzling takes and all these things in my head. And I don't know if you guys remember, it's on a Sunday night. Ron Rivera benched Cam Newton because Cam didn't wear a tie on the point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was like there's a lot of tie discourse that I came out. I'm like, this guy won you an MVP. This guy is the man like you, Ron Rivera, like get off your high horse, whatever. And Derek Anderson on the first pass, there was a pick six.
Starting point is 01:10:41 Seattle blows him out the next morning. I come in like, you know, OK, here's my big moment. I'm going to go viral, come out and I take Ron Rivera to task. I don't know Ron Rivera from anyone. I'm like, all right, I'm going to take him down. I get a text from Brandon Bean, who's now with the Bills as GM. I was in Carolina. And he's like, oh, boy, he's like, I just saw what you said.
Starting point is 01:11:01 And Ron's in the room with me. You might want to you might want to call Ron and just like I call Ron. I don't know. You never talk to him. Don't know. I don't know him. I'm coming in like I knew him. Maybe like I did like a press conference at the Super Bowl with him, whatever. The next week I was doing sidelines and I look at my schedule, my Fox assignment.
Starting point is 01:11:17 You can't make it up Atlanta at Carolina. So I've got to sit in a room like this with Ron Rivera and I'm shitting a brick like the entire week. Like how to because A, I'm sure there was a reason why. And B, I went way overboard with it. I'm talking about his job, all this stuff. So I get in there and Bean like stops me. He's with Stephen Drummond, who's their PR guy.
Starting point is 01:11:37 And they're like, you know, Ron is Ron is looking to talk to you. And oh, my gosh, it's I come in and Ron like reads me. The riot act out of the gate. It's like, who the F do you think you are? You're nobody. You get it. But you think you're hot. I've never seen you. I don't know you. And then he looks at those guys and he starts laughing.
Starting point is 01:11:51 And he's like, I'm just fucking with you. And he says, but I'm just fucking with you, but. But also that's true. Yeah, everything I said is absolutely true. But he's like, let this be a lesson. And he's like, here's my number and you're going to learn this as you get into this role. Like I hope you're not doing this for one season.
Starting point is 01:12:05 Like you're going to learn this if you've got something that's really critical and you want to be the Skip Bayless and you want to have that take. Here's my number. If you really have a problem, like let's talk before you go on there and explain it. And if you still that take great, as long as it's authentic. But, you know, that was his.
Starting point is 01:12:20 I like that because that is that it's it's also like the we try never to get like too personal with the things like we'll never be like, oh, we were at like an awards ceremony and you and your wife like didn't say hi to me like that kind of shit. So yeah, that take by Kyle, which was on the Russell was like, it threw us all for a loop. That came out of nowhere. And we like Kyle, but that was we came out of nowhere.
Starting point is 01:12:39 Watching it being like, wait, what? Yeah, it came out of nowhere. And I heard the word poser since like 1997. And it's it's strong. It was like, I got a flashback like fifth grade. And I was like, yo, bro, why are you wearing air walks? You don't skateboard. You're a poser.
Starting point is 01:12:53 That's it. I remember wearing those air walks. He hadn't called it. Yeah, you're smoking clothes. Smoking real sick. Yeah. It's too stupid. You don't even know.
Starting point is 01:13:01 I feel like that cut deep though. Like if Russell Wilson, if Russell Wilson saw that, he was probably like, I don't know if he can get hurt by things if robots can feel feelings. But yeah, he was probably like, fuck, am I coming? Anything you want. Don't be a poser. Yeah, I always have Kyle's back.
Starting point is 01:13:15 And I go say, like Joe Thomas went off on Saturday, Jeff Saturday on Friday. And I'm sitting there in the way that's so confusing. Joe Thomas went off on Jeff Saturday, getting the coaching job on Friday. Got him on our show. And it happened on a Sunday. And we're on a Monday.
Starting point is 01:13:31 It happened on our show. And I was sitting there and like, what do you do when the other guy go and like, I support anyone on our show? But that's your word. So if Kyle wants to call him, that's cool. I've got Kyle's back as my guy. Do you think Kyle, like at the end, because again, we are friends with Kyle.
Starting point is 01:13:47 We like him and he's very good at his job. But that was one of those ones where do you think he looked back and was like, oh, that was kind of weird to me. No, really? I don't know. Because I have those all the time where I'll have like a take and then I'll look back and be like, oh, what was I saying? That was weird.
Starting point is 01:14:00 What was I saying? Or I'll tell the social media person, don't put that one on. Yeah, right. Don't post that. Yeah, let's let that one just be for the people who are watching live. No, I don't think Kyle had any regrets. Good power to him.
Starting point is 01:14:10 Yeah, no, he sleeps at night. That's great. That's the best thing you could have in this business is like being like, yeah, well, I'm fine. Yeah. Doesn't bother me. The other coach, Vrable, I was very critical to Titans last year.
Starting point is 01:14:22 I'm like, this is a bad number one seed. Like they don't, they're not going to win in the playoffs. And I picked the Bengals to beat them in the playoffs. And I was like, very cocky about it. Like I just don't think this team is like going to, there's too many injuries, whatever it was. And then at the NFL honors, Vrable saw me, put his arm around me. And like, I've met him before.
Starting point is 01:14:38 It was kind of like, ah, you know, hey, saw what you're saying. Like, remember, like, you know, any one coach of the year that night, but I was like, all right. He's the master of like shaking your hand, but like a little harder hurting you, hurting you intentionally while he's doing it. He slapped me on the back one side,
Starting point is 01:14:51 like almost threw up my lung. Yes. Like, and it was one of the, I saw him at the combine, he was great, but like for that moment at the NFL honors, I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah. When you're doing sidelines, you ever just make things up when you come back from halftime? It's like, yeah, you know, just, I just talked
Starting point is 01:15:06 to Doug Peterson, coach, coach said they're really looking to be more physical in the second half back to you guys. Because that's the opposite of what it was. Cause I used to do sidelines for years and they give you very little in those things. And if you watch these sideline reports a lot of times and credit to all of them, but it's like, they want to establish the run and they want to stop the pass.
Starting point is 01:15:23 And it's like, back to you guys. So I was always so self aware of that. I mean, I'm not going to be that guy. So I would ask a question and it would be like in the locker. I'm like, just now, like, come on, you could tell me. Like you lit it to him, right? We'll cut this part. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:37 Like you lit it to him. And like a lot of times the coach would be like, it's like, you know, like Lovie Smith or Todd Bould, being like, what? What are you doing right now? And then I come out and be like, I just spoke to Lovie Smith and there was a very real conversation at halftime, but like,
Starting point is 01:15:52 I was always trying to get something different than like, what's the message for second half? Right, right, yeah. Very, very seldom, like Sean Payton would always give you great shit. Pete Carroll always gave you good stuff, like coming in and out. But very rarely are you getting some like fire brand thing.
Starting point is 01:16:06 Like I have to rush on to air to tell you what the coach told me walking off the field. Yeah, yeah. You'll never believe it. Kyle Shan said that they have to pin their ears back on defense and get after the quarterback if they want to win this game. You're up the quarterback.
Starting point is 01:16:17 No more penalties. Yes. Do you, since you're so plugged in and this probably sucks one of the negatives of your job, do you ever have to catch yourself when people are like, oh, you're just name dropping? But it's like, no, that's, I'm actually giving context to the story.
Starting point is 01:16:32 That's 99% of the tweets I get on Bill Simmons's podcast. Is it your name drop? Yeah, and it's like, I don't care. You just name drop Bill Simmons. There you go. There you go. Sick, dude. It's a drug.
Starting point is 01:16:46 No, but it does, like, because your job is as a reporter. Well, I always try to preface it with like, I don't say anonymous source tells me. I'll tell you straight up, and I've got a good enough relationship with those guys that I feel like I can say it, and I can say it's from them, and they're not gonna be outraged,
Starting point is 01:17:02 it's not gonna put them in a bad spot because I'm not necessarily putting them in a corner. But yes, if I'm talking about, you know, Ken Dorsey I've become friendly with, right? And if I'm like- Psychopath. Yeah, no one will ever stop thinking about that moment. And I spoke to Ken Dorsey last night,
Starting point is 01:17:17 and I was like, ooh, he spoke to Ken, and I'm like, well, actually, he's the offensive coordinator of the Bills in a very big game where they give up 17-point lead. Like, maybe that's important to some person at home, as opposed to my thoughts, you know, from the couch. We struggle with that too, because we've been lucky enough to be doing this long enough
Starting point is 01:17:30 and have, you know, enough success where we have become friends with some of these guys, and it's very hard, because I always feel like a douchebag, but then it's also like, should we tell the story or not? I know, and no one cares if it's, I spoke, you sound worse than I spoke to someone involved in the organization at a very high ranking level.
Starting point is 01:17:47 Yeah, that is worse. That's way worse. If people do that. Yeah, yeah, so you're doing, okay, I like that. That's a good answer. I try. There you go. Now we just clap back at the haters.
Starting point is 01:17:54 You never do anonymous source, I like that. Yeah, I like this one, League Source. League Source. What about circles? What's a league circle? Because that's another one that I spoke to somebody in league circles. League circles, yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Do you have to be like employed by a team to be in a circle? Yeah, no, you gotta be in the circle. Yeah. I feel like Jeff Fisher is still in league circles. He's in the league circle, sure. He's like in the billpark cell. Jim Tomsula is very much in the league circle.
Starting point is 01:18:14 Oh, I like to hear that. I think Jim Tomsula is like in an RV somewhere, like just fishes for his meals every day. It's off the grid as much as he can be. I also imagine Jim Tomsula, is he working for someone right now? He was with Dallas last with McCartney, but not anymore, I don't think.
Starting point is 01:18:27 I would imagine too, like Jim Tomsula in this, he's probably a very nice guy. We never had him on the show. Oh, Jim Tomsula is the greatest. Yeah, the greatest. I'm not even like doing that. We would love to have him on the show. That's a great, great PMT guys.
Starting point is 01:18:38 But I would also imagine that he would tip off someone and it would just always be wrong. He'd be like, I'm hearing this, and they're like in the back room, they're like, let's just tell Jim this, and just get this out there. Because I totally missed the record. Wasn't a big source of mine.
Starting point is 01:18:51 I think I got a lot of like, sparkling info from Jim over the years. We get a couple of games we play with ever, you know, because you listen to the show. This one is called, what would you do if a front-off executive from the Browns told you that Condoleezza Rice was interviewing to be the head coach of the team?
Starting point is 01:19:06 This is what you guys do. This is a question. I don't question that someone did tell Adam Shepter that. And I'm just saying, I don't think anyone, I don't think of anyone, he's not going out there if it didn't come from somebody. Sure enough, I think Condoleezza is very much involved with the Denver Broncos right now.
Starting point is 01:19:21 So I do believe that maybe there is some justice somewhere in Adam's mind that, you know what? You guys were all laughing at me. She's got an even bigger role now somewhere else. Maybe Shepter was just early. Maybe, maybe one day she will be the head coach. The other game that we play with everybody is say something mean about commissioner, Roger Goodell.
Starting point is 01:19:37 Your boss. My boss, he signs my checks. Your boss. No, actually the real question I want to ask you about him is like, it is something that people will always ask you because you're employed by the league, right? So at some times it kind of goes back to the coach conversation.
Starting point is 01:19:50 You have to know when you can be critical and what you can say and what you can't say. How do you balance that? Good question. I think, you know, when it comes to like some of like the bigger issues, whether it would be the Watson case or some of the stuff going on with the Washington,
Starting point is 01:20:05 you know, your team. The commander is like, our show, no one ever tells us like, you can't say this, you can't say that. The funny thing is a lot of times what we do get pushed back on or we'll get, you know, stuff like I can go have a take on something like whatever it is that I'm like, oh crap,
Starting point is 01:20:21 they're going to call or someone's going to say something or, you know, maybe Roger's watching and he's going to have a problem with what we say. He's going to put the league in a bad spot. The one thing that they're sensitive at, and it's fascinating to me and it's more like, you should talk to this person if you really have a problem with that,
Starting point is 01:20:34 is officiating. So like I came out, I was outraged about the DJ Moore call when he ripped off his helmet because the rule says it's not a penalty if you remove your helmet. It's only a penalty if you remove your helmet in the end zone and he removed it out of the end. So the next day, it's like the easiest thing.
Starting point is 01:20:49 Me and Kyle always call it like sports talk, radio, like fodder, like we're upset about the call. You know, like, here we are. And sure enough, you know, you'll get a text being like, if you've got a problem like, hey, look, Walt Coleman, Perry Feule, like these guys work at the league, contact them before the show and they can explain it to you from our side and all that.
Starting point is 01:21:06 So I think the integrity of the game and that stuff is where the league like really, really watches, you know, what we're saying because the second we start bitching about every call and we start having our takes on it, we look like we're representative of the league and there's dysfunction and we're not all on the same page. So when you told me beforehand when we were talking,
Starting point is 01:21:23 you said NFL is rigged, what would that mean? That's it, that was it, but that right there, it's more about the way that, you know, yeah, no. Yeah, yeah, that was mean of me. Well, I mean, like, Goodell came on the show in Germany, we just got back from Germany and he was like, drinking a beer, like, I know people don't want to hear that, but like, I don't know, every interaction I've had with him,
Starting point is 01:21:43 I mean, we're not format best friends, he's normal. I believe that, I believe that. So knowing that you know all these coaches, do you do like the hushed, serious tone when they get fired and being like, these guys have, you know, families and stuff, you do black in memorial. Yeah, no, seriously, I do have one of the guys, one of the guys I was really heartbroken for was Matt Nagy,
Starting point is 01:22:03 who was obviously, because he's the greatest dude in the world and every Bears fan wanted to see Matt fired. And like, I know what do you see what Justin Fields is doing now, doing great. And what I get it. I think I he could have kept his job. We're not just we're not questioning his credibility or whether he should have been fired.
Starting point is 01:22:20 It broke my heart to see him get fired. Because it's a good he's going to be okay, though. He made a lot of money and the chief and the best part about NFL coaches is you get always have a job, go get another job. Someone else will hire you to get another chance eventually to be a head coach. I bet you he will probably most of his guys get another shot.
Starting point is 01:22:36 If the chiefs win another Super Bowl and Matt Nagy is a big part of that effort, then yes, somebody someone will be like, OK, what did you learn from your first time, your first go around? What mistakes are we correcting? And he'll get another job. And he might.
Starting point is 01:22:48 And I think about the human, though, like he had kids in high school. That part sucked. You remember the story of his kids got booed and completely on a I'll give you another one. Joe Judge last year and every Giants fan wanted Joe Judge out and I've become friendly with Joe. And I don't he's a good dude.
Starting point is 01:23:01 Like he's whatever you want to say. He gets fired. Everyone's so happy doing flips. And I do this thing where I'll call the coach or I'll text him and just be like, hey, there's anything I can do. I can do shit. But I'm like, if there's anything I can do, put in a good word with another team,
Starting point is 01:23:14 they don't need my help, but it's a gesture. Like he calls me right away and he goes, here's what you can do. And I love this about Joe Judge and Giants fans might be very run through a wall for this. But they're like, at least we can do. Next time you or your co-hosts want to shuddle over Daniel Jones or say that Daniel Jones is terrible or this or that.
Starting point is 01:23:30 Know that Daniel Jones is tough as shit, comes prepared, and I would run through a brick wall for that guy because that guy. And I'm like, that's the one thing you want. You don't want to take a shot at Gettelman. You don't want to take a shot at the marriage. You're like, nah, whatever. He's like, just that quarterback was tough and was put in a tough spot.
Starting point is 01:23:45 And I just want everyone to know that. That is cool. You don't know what. That says a lot about a guy to be like, yeah, you're right. Because he could just bitch about everything else. And a lot of these guys, when they get fired, it's like, to your point, they've got money. They have to, like, it's a rough thing on their ego.
Starting point is 01:23:58 That's what it is. Yeah, no, that makes sense. As you're introducing yourself to these coaches, when some guy gets hired and first head coach and gig, how do you go about getting his phone number? Do you give him your phone and you're like, hey, just put your number there? No.
Starting point is 01:24:12 And a lot of times, here's what I'll do. This is like, I was not single during the online dating craze and like, I'm not great with going up to a girl in a bar or any of that stuff. So this is a very odd situation when I want to give my number to a strange man and let him. So what I'll do is I'll often find a mutual connection. A guy that's worked with him.
Starting point is 01:24:32 A guy that's like, hey, I'd like to reach out to Blank. Can you put me on a little group chain with him? And if that guy's like, no, I don't feel comfortable, then OK, I'll try. But I'm never going to be the one who's like, hi. Can I still have your number? That's just weird. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:46 So about the coaches, who's the coach that's going to get fired next? And why is it Cliff Kingsbury? I don't think Cliff's getting fired. Is that because you're friends with him? Yeah. Fuck. OK.
Starting point is 01:24:56 No, I actually don't think he is getting fired. I think he signed the extension and we're going to see how the season goes out. Yeah, they know whatever fires anyone during an extension, as Jimbo Fisher just trends every Saturday. I'm curious to see what happens over the next few weeks with the Cardinals, because I think that team played with a lot of fire.
Starting point is 01:25:13 Do you think he's done anything as a head good, besides the joy that they played with everybody who was saying it last week? Tom's a joy. You could put you. Col McCoy, like that guy just screamed exuberance to me when I was watching him play. They're three and one under Col McCoy.
Starting point is 01:25:25 He's like Gordon Bombay. Are they better without Kyler Murray? I'm not saying it. I think you implied it. I'm just saying that team that maybe needed a spark and maybe Kyler comes back and it's like, all right, that was it. That's what we got to do.
Starting point is 01:25:35 But the joy. The thing with Cliff, right? You want to say like, he's actually really unique. I may tell you something. He hasn't done shit as a head coach. He knows that. He made a playoffs, whatever, and he knows that he lost there. But he's unique.
Starting point is 01:25:46 Anywhere, college as well. I get it. This is like low hanging fruit shitting on Cliff Kingsbury. Like, but he's. No, we like it. We just come with our machetes and we just hit the low hanging fruit. Why go to, why have to climb up the tree when you can just
Starting point is 01:25:58 get it right down here? He's not one of these, like, he's not one of these guys that is like, you guys always have said football guy over the years. He's not necessarily that guy. He's kind of self aware and he's kind of in on the joke and he's kind of like into TV and movies. Like he, he would be on one of these shows having a talk
Starting point is 01:26:14 without being head coach. And then, oh, by the way, he's got this crazy mind where you can draw a place. Now, whether you guys are like, I haven't seen it yet and all that shit, that's fine. He treats these guys in a way that I think is different than a lot of the coaches. I respect.
Starting point is 01:26:25 And by that, I mean, you know, the cell phone breaks thing made a lot of news when he first got there, right? But, you know, Larry Fitzgerald was a veteran there. If Larry wanted to, you know, have a Saturday and not necessarily, you know, have to come on and be at the team meeting at this hour, well, he's been there for 20 years. Like Larry Fitzgerald can do that. If Rodney Hudson, their veteran center is like, coach,
Starting point is 01:26:44 I need a day off. Like Cliff's not one of these like, yeah. So I think it's a different look at coaching. I kind of almost appreciate it and would like some more coaches to lean into that stuff. Like a normal guy, like a normal person. So is Larry Fitzgerald retired? Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:26:59 I don't know. Is he like kind of in the town? Has he not announced it yet? No, I don't think so. But like he, he's got to be retired. You guys asked me what my favorite podcast was. I think Jim Gray, Larry Fitzgerald and Tom Brady is my most. What a weird.
Starting point is 01:27:10 It's so entertaining every week. How much do you regret doing this interview so far? How many people do you think you have to text afterwards? Being like, not at all. It's up. I went on part of my take and they really put the screws to me. No, I like why Cliff Kingsbury is remarkably average. No, I actually I like I like this segment because sometimes
Starting point is 01:27:27 we do need a reality check. We have we have a couple friends around the league of a couple people that we like that are head coaches that we obviously will go to bat for. But there's a lot of guys that we shit on sometimes and we joke about, but you probably know them better than me. So I kind of like that check on us. Yeah. Like, OK, so Mike McCarthy, tell me, tell me why
Starting point is 01:27:44 I'm an asshole for always making fun of Mike McCarthy. The one thing is to make fun of, like, did he really wear the Lombardi jacket to the game? And then like the up 14 in the fourth court, you know, it's one thing to go in there and be like, good, like that kind of stuff, like on our show on good morning football, I'll even just and I won't say like he's an idiot for doing it. I'll just pose it be like, did you need the jacket?
Starting point is 01:28:02 Right. Was it not enough to just go in there and like, you know, I have this, you need to wear the, but, you know, Mike's had a lot of struggles in late game scenarios. And obviously, to me, the storyline is now all of a sudden Rogers and him just it's constant love fest. And it's like, it is weird. It's a little revisionist maybe.
Starting point is 01:28:18 I don't remember it that way at the end. So yeah. But is Mike McCarthy going to, you know, necessarily prove us all wrong? We'll see. So Sean Payton greater than 50% chance of being the Cowboys coach next year. I don't know about I work with Sean every Sunday now. By the way, you want to talk about a story like full circle.
Starting point is 01:28:33 I didn't know Sean. He knew a lot of people in the media. I wasn't one of them. Like Glaser was always his guy. I think Diana was tight with him for years. And I was not like ever, but I just didn't have a relationship with him. And I, you know, I was like, all right, let's see. I've been working with him at Fox.
Starting point is 01:28:47 This guy is cool as shit. And I'm like, oh, I get it now. Like I get why players love playing for him. He's smart. And I think openly like this Fox thing has been fun for him. But I think if the right opportunity came around, I think he'd obviously consider it because he's still got that coaching bug. I watch it every Sunday.
Starting point is 01:29:02 Yes. Peter Schrager is brought to you by our great friends over at NPR. That's right. I said NPR. Lionel Messi is arguably soccer's biggest star, but winning the World Cup has always eluded him. Now he's facing his final battle to bring back the title to his home country of Argentina. If you're a fan of PMT, you will love NPR's new podcast,
Starting point is 01:29:25 The Last Cup, much more than a sports story. The Last Cup is a tale about confronting age and human limitations, a story about loyalty, identity, and what his journey reveals about all of us. I can't wait to listen to this. I love Messi. You guys know that we're messy guys on this podcast hosted by Argentine journalist and NPR correspondent
Starting point is 01:29:43 Jasmine Garst. The Last Cup is a dual language narrative podcast focused on Messi's memoir in which expected to be Messi's final World Cup. The podcast will explore themes of capitalism, immigration, class and race. We love Messi here. I think he's got a great chance.
Starting point is 01:30:00 I still think that Italy is probably top to bottom a better team than Argentina. So I'm still picking them. But Messi is the greatest player in the world. He's the best player in the history of soccer. The Last Cup isn't just a podcast for Messi fans. It's for all sports fans. Anyone who loves stories of competition, team pride
Starting point is 01:30:18 and the legacies we leave behind. Check out The Last Cup from NPR and in future studios. Find it at NPR's embedded podcast feed. And now here's more Peter Stregger. Let's talk about on the on the field play. What were 10 weeks in? Yeah, who do I don't like that? It's scary.
Starting point is 01:30:36 That's no I just shivered when he said that. That sucks. We're 10 weeks in. When did you suddenly take the jacket off? I got it. He gets hot in here, man. The bright lights come on. The takes start flying and start sweating at this point
Starting point is 01:30:49 in the season. Who is definitively like good? Yeah, besides the chiefs and the Eagles. People say the Eagles aren't. But I'm going to. I know I know this is going to. I think the Vikings hear me out. I think the Vikings winning in Buffalo that way.
Starting point is 01:31:05 And I know you can say they got the game given to them, but that's not Vikings football. They have lost that game a million times over the last few years. So have the Bills. So have the Bills. I think that that was more of a Vikings loss that the Bills had.
Starting point is 01:31:16 Yeah, to the Vikings like that. They did their energy. They had it. But I mean, credit to the Vikings because they did outplay them in certain parts. They did outplay them at the end and they made the plays they had to. And Jefferson was really special.
Starting point is 01:31:27 So I'm going to say the Vikings are in that conversation. I think that I think the Dolphins are really good. Yes. Do you have a vote for MVP? I do not. Shit. Do you know anyone who does? I know a lot of people who have them. Yeah. Two is kind of people.
Starting point is 01:31:40 People are buzzing about two MVP. I'm just saying they have nothing to do with it. But like they have not lost a game that he has started and finished. Exactly. So who are these voters? And when I get their addresses to send them a Christmas car. Here's the deal.
Starting point is 01:31:54 There's 50 voters. It's voted before the end of the regular season or at the end of the race. It's like playoffs don't matter. And I think they're all hungry for something new and a great new storyline. So I think too. Remember when Matt Ryan won it one year?
Starting point is 01:32:06 It was like, oh, that's something. You know, they rally around it. We're we made the point on yet on Monday's show that like we are now just completely numb to Patrick Holmes. Great. Yeah. He just gets it. I think the stat was he has 50 percent
Starting point is 01:32:21 of his regular season starts. He has over 300 yards and so he'll just get 300 yards. Four touchdowns of like, oh, yeah, average day for him. So you could just give him the MVP every year. The NFL Network did top 100, I think, a few years ago, and he was voted like fourth, which is crazy. But it was, I think, just like fatigue. Right. It's like it's the Carmelone MVP, you know,
Starting point is 01:32:42 Barclay, you know, we're going to give it to these other guys because he can't win it every year. Right. My homes could conceivably win it every single year. Yeah. And I don't think anyone would blink an eye. But people like new stories to a it's been a good story. But you could argue like Tyree Kill's been
Starting point is 01:32:56 as much of an important part to that as you could argue that. But he threw it to eight different what do you guys make of you could argue or you can make the case as someone starting a segment in any show. It's great because it's along the same lines of doing the many people are talking about. Yeah, right. The conversation. Like, should we have the conversation about it?
Starting point is 01:33:12 I like that one. Yeah, I think you could argue the Vikings are good. The brilliant, the brilliant thing about the is it time to start the conversation is you're starting the conversation while you're doing it, right? We have a strict rule in our show, like, no, you could argue or you can make the point because that's just it's it's not anything.
Starting point is 01:33:29 It's yeah. No, you're not making the point or you're not. Yeah, right. But you could. Yeah. And a lot of times like the X players would come on and do that. And I'll just like I'll make a face and they'll be like, well, my God, that doesn't I don't like that. You could actually make the argument that the 49ers are maybe poised to make the deepest playoff run out of all those teams that we've talked about, given the way that they're built.
Starting point is 01:33:48 Your comment. True. Jimmy G wins football does. They're good on both lines. They're going to get healthier. We haven't even I mean, we haven't even seen what these offense could look like once Debo and McCaffrey are really going. So we'll see. I, you know, Jimmy always throws that one, though,
Starting point is 01:34:03 that'll kill you in a big spot. So and Kyle, too, his brain in the fourth quarter. Yes, I love that. No, it's it's the numbers don't lie. There's something wrong. Fourth quarter. He's had a 10 point lead against the Rams and a big, you know, playoff game did it.
Starting point is 01:34:17 And of course, 28 to three game, all that shit like it does that up. It's at some point it's he's got to break that. Do you think the people that were on that Falcons team ever get together and just like hang out and commiserate? Because they all go, they kind of spread out all across the country. They're all doing their own things, but they're all followed around by the 28 to three by the goals. You think they just like don't talk to each other at all?
Starting point is 01:34:37 Or you think they've got still like a group chat that they're all involved in? I think there's a real bond there. I think that is a traumatic experience. So sports goes. Grady Jarrett had that great sack of Brady that was thrown as like a roughing the passer this year and someone out of like on our show just like Grady Jarrett was on the 28 to three.
Starting point is 01:34:53 I'm like, he knows, he knows. Grady Jarrett knows he was in the 28 to three game and that Brady beat him again. Like it's it follows them everywhere, whether it be Ryan, Kyle Shanahan, Dan Quinn, it follows them all. I'm sure there is a bond there. Yeah. So Vikings, Eagles, Chiefs, Dolphins. Give us a team that you, whether you have a source or not that you're like there, I'm not done with the Bengals.
Starting point is 01:35:16 OK, like they're out of the playoffs right now. I'm not either. I just chases out his hip is actually good news that he didn't get surgery. He's not on the IR. I just they scored five touchdowns with their running back, who was like dormant all season. The last time we saw them on the by, they're coming out of it. Like I just think burrows the real deal.
Starting point is 01:35:34 And I think that team, they've had their losses. They looked really crummy against, you know, some teams early on in the season. I think they're going to come together and I trust that quarterback and that wide receiver. I really do think that they're going to be a team. No one wants to play. OK, I think we did kind of forget about the Bengals. They're not in the playoffs right now. If the playoffs were to be today, it's four AFC East teams making it in the other division winners. That's kind of cool.
Starting point is 01:35:54 Yeah, it is cool. It's neat. What about the Jets? Are the Jets real? I don't know. Oh, memes. Sorry. Here's what I'll say. Their defense is awesome. Their coaching staff has them playing. Their young talent is great.
Starting point is 01:36:08 But I just would love to see Zach win a game on his arm or making a play. And until then, I'm not going to like pick them over one of these other teams on a road playoff game, which is what they have to have to do right now. It's the Jets. I've thought a lot about them because we, you know, we work with a lot of Jets fans. And it's talked about a lot. It does feel 2018 Bears vibes, where it's like your defense is really good. Elite even.
Starting point is 01:36:33 And it's like you just know in the back of your head, like, can the quarterback do what he needs to do? And that team had a home playoff game. Right. Like Jets probably right now, if they'd have to beat the Dolphins again, the builds, they have to lose a couple more. Like right now they're in the striking distance. But I don't know. They first of all, they can't beat the Patriots. They play them next time they play, obviously, but 13 straight games.
Starting point is 01:36:54 And I really like everything about 13 straight. 13 straight. No way. You not heard that one yet? Yes. In 2016, I believe. 2015 was the last time they beat them. And I think the Bears have more wins against the Patriots in what, the last month, last month. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:11 The Jets thing, because like, as you guys know, you're in New York. Every other person stops you. Oh, the Jets and it's like, I sound like I'm being negative. I'm not. I love their young team. It's being honest. I just I'm honestly saying, I just would love to see that the young quarterback make like a couple of big plays in a big game before I crown them as like a contender. OK, so along those lines, which fan base hates you the most?
Starting point is 01:37:30 Yeah, good question. Thank you. A lot of fan bases do. But like which one is like you, you just no matter what, you'll just never like we have a thing with the Vikings. It's more Kirk Cousins thing. But like, you know, you find yourself, you have a take, people remember it. They, you know, and I understand it because when someone says something bad about the Bears, I'm just like, fuck this guy.
Starting point is 01:37:52 So I get it on the opposite side. When we say stuff on this show, like fan base is getting mad at me. I'm like, that's fair play. Yeah, like you you you know your team better than I give you one. OK. Seahawks fans for years did not like me. And it was because of a 2012 Fox Sports.com video that I did with Adam Shine at the draft. And I said, gosh, you're taking Russell Wilson, this undersized quarterback.
Starting point is 01:38:21 When you just signed Matt Flynn, this draft grade is a D. You know, I'm literally my 20s, like, you know, wearing a suit that I got at men's warehouse and I'm like ill fitted suit. And I'm trying to be serious sportscaster guy. And I'm like, how could you take Russell Wilson when you just got Matt Flynn and you have this thing and and gosh, like, I wore that for a decade. You're vindicated, though, because Russell Wilson is funny. And it comes full circle.
Starting point is 01:38:42 And now they hate Russell Wilson. And I'm like, I actually think Russ is pretty good. You know, like I'm like, so Seahawks fans and then Chargers fans. Not that they feel like it's. Oh, no, Chargers fans. There's like all four of them. But that shit is what drives them insane. But then you can only hear from four. But they are strong in there twice.
Starting point is 01:39:02 They're quantity. Their quantity is not huge, but they are very vocal. And, you know, I've been very big on the homes and the chiefs. And it's like, he's a chiefs. I'm not Chiefs fan. I just appreciate what it is. And the homes is just really fucking good. And the Chargers have blown a lot of opportunities over their years to shut me up. The Chargers also it's not Chargers fans fault.
Starting point is 01:39:22 I think the media has like sucked the Chargers dicks so hard. So they haven't been to the playoffs. So it's like for me that on on NFL. So it's just to me, it's one of those things where I have Chargers fatigue, but it's no fault to the actual. I think it's August Chargers. Right. Right. This year, NFL Network took a poll of all
Starting point is 01:39:47 like the people who are on air or on digital and they're like, we're going to do several predictions. And I took the chiefs over the Packers. Fine. It might not work out. Probably won't work out. Five of like the 20 people chose the Chargers to win the whole thing. That's wild. That's not the whole thing. And I came on the show, one playoff game. I came on the show the next day and I'm like, I got to call this out.
Starting point is 01:40:07 Like I don't mean to call out all our colleagues on the West Coast to work for NFL Network, but that is ridiculous. They haven't won a play. They won one playoff game in a decade. They've been to the playoffs. So I just want to see it before it is. And here we are there right where I they usually are. They're five and four. They're in striking distance.
Starting point is 01:40:22 They've had a lot of close games. They've had some weird losses and that's been the Chargers over the years. And their fans do not like hearing that. They beat the the Ravens in the playoffs, right? That's when Anthony Lin, he was like, this is how I'm going to stop Lamar Jackson and he played like 11 defensive backs on the field. And that was that was a brilliant game plan.
Starting point is 01:40:39 It was. And I think Lamar in that game on like the fourth quarter rallied them all the way back. Michael Crabtree had a huge day, but like that was that was a good Chargers playoff win and they lost to the Patriots the next week. But like that's the only one they've had in eight years, I think. So I couldn't help but notice that he did not mention the Balmer Ravens. Oh, that's a good point. I the Ravens are legit, too.
Starting point is 01:40:55 I should have mentioned the Ravens. Talk about the Bengals, but I thought the Ravens were given. Yeah, the Ravens are no joke. Oh, no, they aren't a given. They are going to be upset that you didn't say that. Yeah, I have a thing with Ravens fans. If I mean, if you're going to have four teams from the AFC East, I'm just doing the math here, the Bengals and the Ravens.
Starting point is 01:41:09 They both can't make it, right? Somebody's going to be left out. That's it. Ravens are legit. I think that I think one of those AFC East teams will drop out of the playoff picture, whether it be the Patriots, the Jets or the Dolphins. I think. No, not the Dolphins. Bills are fine. Again, haven't seen it.
Starting point is 01:41:24 I don't know. That's that's the other thing is like when the bills lose, it's now it's credit to the bills for being where they are. They'll be fine. It feels big every time they lose. Massive. And it's like, I still think they're a very, very good team. One of the best teams in the NFL. Yeah, I agree. I mean, he's so good.
Starting point is 01:41:38 And then he throws these, you know, interceptions and you guys are close with him. And I know Kyle on my show is buddies with him now. I have no relationship with Josh. I don't know that I respect his game. Like he makes these decisions late and he throws these balls and it's like, oh, that seems like an anomaly, but he leads the league in interceptions. Right. But we just brush over it because he's so damn fun to watch.
Starting point is 01:41:54 Right. It's it's the way I described it is like, and it might sound as a cop out and people say we're biased, which we are, but it's like you take the good with the bad, like Josh Allen, what he does. Dude, when he's carrying Eric Kendrick, seven yards and he's got a shoulder, we're like, oh, I'd rather that guy than anyone else in the league. You'd love for him not to throw the interceptions, but the good far outweighs the bad. Yeah. So you got to just have to live with it.
Starting point is 01:42:15 Totally. And he's a gunslinger. I just had an idea for how we can end this season for, you know, to make Jets fans happy, because I do think that they are going to, if they make the playoffs, I don't think that's realistic to think that you're going to do anything there. They should just have a bowl game between the Jets and the Giants. Yeah, Snoopy ball, because like both of those met life. Snoopy ball.
Starting point is 01:42:34 I like that a lot. Just let them play each other that way. One of the two teams gets to end with their last game being a win and they get to feel really good about their season because the Giants are, I think they kind of fall in that same bucket where they're they're a good team. Seven and two, they're seven and two like outperformed every expectation. They have every right to be super pumped for the future, but also at the same time, you can admit like we're probably not going to do anything
Starting point is 01:42:55 this year. I wouldn't think so. And the only thing that gives me the Giants more hope than the Jets that the NFC is so wide open that I look at like, you know, the Eagles and the Vikings have these great records other than that. All the teams we thought were going to be great, the Bucks, the Rams, the Packers, the Cowboys, they've lost head scratching games like the Giants could sneak in and have one of these miracle runs. AFC, I'm like, you know, it's tough.
Starting point is 01:43:16 It's a gauntlet to think you're going to beat Kansas City, Buffalo, Baltimore, all those teams. Yeah. And we're not talking about the Titans either. I know they hate that. That's another thing. Remember the Titans. Oh, yeah. Freeble is going to hear this and he's going to.
Starting point is 01:43:27 That's it. He's going to just clutch me on the back of the neck. So the Vulcan Death Grip. And so hard to always remember the Titans. Have you guys redrafted the 2021 quarterback draft yet? We haven't. Is that a thing that people are doing? I've seen a lot on the media. So you want to do it real quick?
Starting point is 01:43:41 Let's go. Let's do it. OK. All right. One, we're going to go round Robin. No, no, no, you just go. You just go. Yeah. I really only care about one. I think Fields is one. Oh, OK. We're good.
Starting point is 01:43:51 We're drafting running backs or quarterbacks. Oh, good line. I think Fields is one, but solely he costs. Hey, you have the sunglasses on for your avatar. Yeah. The thing with the whole discussion that it's just a very lazy way to start the conversation by Justin Fields, because he's going to get better as a passer.
Starting point is 01:44:11 I think so. We've seen that like it happened and he's not. He's not God awful. He's just not a great passer yet. There's not a lot of weapons. And also, if he's able to run like this, then, yes, that's that's a very good thing that he it's a very good thing that none of the other guys can do anything
Starting point is 01:44:22 close to what he does with running the ball. And they're finally building the offense around him, obviously. And like, I think you've said it a few times, losing 31 to 30 on a Cairo Santos miss extra point. Like, in a way, you wink. It's like, it's not the worst thing. You know, like we got to see Justin Fields do that. We don't need to stack wins right now.
Starting point is 01:44:37 Yeah, I would like to. I'm now at the point. I wouldn't mind sprinkling a win. A couple. Just one or two. That's why that Patriots win felt so good. You got that one. Right. If they lose, like if they finish the season three and 14, I'm going to be like, yeah, that kind of hurts.
Starting point is 01:44:50 But there was a time earlier in the season where you're like, I don't, you know, Luke Getze is he. And now it's like, OK, they've done something. They've drawn this up. That works. He's one. I think Trevor Lawrence has the biggest future. Yesterday, I thought he played well enough against Kansas City. And it just like you see flashes and then you see the same kind of stuff
Starting point is 01:45:06 that just happens when you're on a bad football team. You know, it's like lose. Yeah. Do we trust in Doug? Is Doug going to turn that around? I think so. Yeah, I think I trust in Doug. I think I like Doug. I like Doug. See you been on the show. No, but I like Doug. Good, dude. He's just Doug.
Starting point is 01:45:22 All right. So then you got three, you got Lance and you got Wilson. Traylence doesn't even count right now. Yeah, I don't know. Max been bad this year. So Zach Wilson. No, he hasn't shown us anything. That's where Davis Mills. No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:45:39 I would go Mac, Zach, Davis Mills. Oh, OK. And this is taking Traylence totally out of it because we just don't know. Yeah, he just hasn't played enough football. He hasn't played enough. And I think Zach Wilson has a great opportunity to shut a lot of people up over the next few weeks. They're from the drug. They're they're in the driver's seat right now.
Starting point is 01:45:56 Yeah, they are. This is a good opportunity. I would say Penae Sewell, number one. I think you got to protect the quarter. That's true. Penae Sewell or Jamar Chase. Remember that? Those memes, those are great. Those are never ending. Yeah, I think maybe maybe both teams ended up with guys that they like.
Starting point is 01:46:11 You can both win a little bit on the digs and Jefferson trade. Also, I, you know, there was a poll by like the athletic and I'm not sure if it was with the agents or anything. It was like they were ranking all the general managers and Howie Roseman from the Eagles, just like 14th or something. And it's I just laugh like those draft decisions like he will never escape that jail and rigor over Justin. No matter how many Super Bowls, no matter how many playoff things,
Starting point is 01:46:33 like that's the kind of shit that just sticks with people's when you miss that by like one. Because you know what it is? It's fans and I do this all the time. I'll just go back and look at drafts and just be like, look at all those guys. Look at all those guys. Did you do that with your biscuit? Like would you just know I never know more?
Starting point is 01:46:50 But like no, no, no, no, no, I never I've never once thought. But at some point in my homes, Peter. No, never, never. The Niners get a get a pass on that. They took Solomon Thomas. Like, thank you. We got Brian Hoyer. We're going to Thomas is the biggest bus from that track.
Starting point is 01:47:04 We got Brian Hoyer. We're solid. Thank you. I tried to start an alternate narrative that Leonard Farnett was the biggest bus. Then he won a Super Bowl and was phenomenal and also became a friend of ours and a blogger on Barstool Sports. Yeah, I stopped that. But yeah, I've done all all the tracks. If you look at who you could have drafted,
Starting point is 01:47:22 you also have to take into account that they would have then like in my case, they would have had to be a Washington. Yeah, right. And football team commander. Yeah. And a bear's uniform makes no sense. Yes, like it doesn't always work like that. It's mostly like things regress to how your organization is run.
Starting point is 01:47:37 Everyone always doesn't if the Knicks passed on Steph Curry. Steph Curry was like the most amazing place. Or they didn't try it out, whatever it was. It was like either pick after pick before. If Steph Curry is on the Knicks, I'm sure he's a very good player. He's not Steph Curry, though. Yeah. No, he yeah. His ankles would have disintegrated in New York.
Starting point is 01:47:53 There you go. That's just the fact. I've always said Patrick Holmes got hit by a bus in Chicago. Like those Patrick Holmes, that type of quarterback being on the bear just doesn't compute ever. OK, this has been awesome. I have one last question. Roback question.
Starting point is 01:48:06 RHOBACK.com promo code TAKE for 20% off your first purchase. Q zips, hoodies, polos, Roback.com, also joggers, which are awesome. I wear them every weekend. My last question is, are you allowed to gamble? Not. You aren't. And I don't even do NCA tournament pools, bro. Like I can't. I sign away my life. No, I'm serious. I don't want to either.
Starting point is 01:48:28 I actually enjoy it. You fancy football? No. So you don't do anything? No, I do a fancy football, but no money. What's that like? It's actually really purifying and like liberating in a lot of ways. I watch you guys all the time.
Starting point is 01:48:40 I know. And like to not have any stakes in it is such a great way to just watch football. No, but it makes you care so much about everything. But like that, I don't have to. You got there's a lot going on. Like I couldn't handle watching like the waiting for the final. I know you I watch you guys. I trust me. I listen to when that over hits in the last play, it looks like the greatest thing in the world.
Starting point is 01:48:59 And it's like so exciting. I don't have that in me where I'm like, I need that. So is that like, but is there an NFL like you guys can't gamble? Yeah, no, they don't want to scramble. That's so crazy to me that like, why wouldn't you want to why wouldn't they want NFL? I think me specifically, like guys who have inside information. Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Starting point is 01:49:15 Yeah. Yeah. I'm looking at at your. I have a quick story before I guess. Yes. Yes. Eddie O is all over here. Oh, yeah, he's everywhere. He's everybody. You guys had such a ride with them. And I'm talking about burrow and chase to you guys like you don't know.
Starting point is 01:49:30 Name drop Sean McVeigh's wedding this year. Oh, we're at the wedding Saturday afternoon. It was a few media guys invited out. Michaels, who was cool. Jake laser. Fine. Name, drop, name, drop, name, drop in everywhere. They're just sprinkling it. What table were you at? I was at a good table. You sure? Was out there. Good table.
Starting point is 01:49:48 Al was actually with like Stan Kronke. I was at like the bed. Like the gentleman. Where was your table place? Right in the middle. OK. Kingsbury, Staley, O'Connell. Colt McCoy, we were talking about him. OK. And a guy named Chas Gezner, who used to play for Belichick and is like this like entrepreneur, who's cool as shit also. And you should probably have him on to look up Chas Gezner.
Starting point is 01:50:12 Saturday afternoon, we're at the pool. It's all these NFL coaches, the floor is there and all these guys. And, you know, Jake Rudin comes by my hair, you know, whatever. Everything's great. Eddie O is there shirtless, looking like a million bucks, just glistening in like all his glory. And I'm like, I didn't know Sean had anything to do with Eddie O. And he's taken photos with everyone at the pool
Starting point is 01:50:32 and like everyone wants to take a photo with Eddie O. And I'm the whole time, like, I guess McVeigh had something to do with it. Later on, McVeigh pulls me aside. He's like, how about Eddie O being at the pool? And I'm like, yeah, when were you? He's like. Never met him before. I'm like, wait, wait, he's here. Coincidentally, Eddie O at the pool, just mixing it with all.
Starting point is 01:50:52 Not invited to the wedding. The best. But in the mix and like having a blast, drinking with everybody was the coolest guy at the pool. He's not invited to the wedding. Not there at night. No connection to McVeigh, Eddie O. L.A. poolside, just living his best life. He is. He is honestly like I I've never I feel like I've never seen anyone happier than than like his last year where where is he's at Miami now?
Starting point is 01:51:14 And nowhere he's taking a tour of the country with his girlfriend. He's having a great time. His son's coach at one son coach at Tulane. I think the other one's coaches at Louisiana Monroe. So he like goes to their games. But like very we were talking about coaches getting fired and the ego being bruised and like, you know, wanting to get back out there. I think he's just like, yeah, I've reached the pinnacle.
Starting point is 01:51:34 I've made all the money in the world. I'm good. What a national title at my fucking university. Like my home state. I am Louisiana. It's the best. It's great. So it was so fine. Like everyone kissed the ring. Like, you know, you cannot look at that guy and not respect. I love it. It's like it's like coach. Oh, Charles Barkley, Bill Murray.
Starting point is 01:51:53 Those guys can show up and crash any wedding. I'll give you one because I've seen this guy at events and he just and you do it. You guys are amazing on Monday morning. Chris Berman shows up anyway. It's just like everyone just takes a backseat and it's like, I don't care if he's doing these random commercials for like car shield. It's like, no, it's still Chris Berman. I don't care that he was being random out or now brought him back or whatever it is.
Starting point is 01:52:13 Like that guy is my youth. Yeah, I've definitely watched like 15 consecutive minutes of the car shield commercial just because it's Chris Berman talking about something and it looks like he's at a sports town. Yeah. And you think you're duped into thinking like, oh, Chris Berman's back. And he's talking about the car shield. You're like, I like the car shield legend, a living legend. Well, Peter, this has been awesome. We got to have you back on.
Starting point is 01:52:32 It was long overdue. Also credit to you, you're wearing the Saquans. Yeah. The most uncomfortable sneakers ever put on. Not a fun wear. Yeah. A cool wear. They look very good. I have a pair. But yeah, I don't know how you're doing it.
Starting point is 01:52:47 Yeah, because they are not that comfortable. Not all heroes. They'll come out with new ones. Yeah. All right. Well, thank you so much. Everyone check them out. Good morning football. Every single morning.
Starting point is 01:52:57 NFL Network. What's your podcast called? It's called the season with Peter Schrager. Oh, that's a good guess. Who? It's Salah on. We had Joe Shane, the GM of the Giants. Then we had Paul Rudd on for like 90 minutes. Brooklyn guy.
Starting point is 01:53:09 Yeah. Paul Rudd has been on this show. We had him. We actually have to try to get him back on. He's great. He came on to talk about the famous Joe Buck HBO show, which was great because that was already a disaster. Yeah, an absolute disaster.
Starting point is 01:53:23 All right. Well, thank you so much, Peter. Appreciate it. Thanks, guys. Big fan. I appreciate it. Peter Schrager was brought to you by Roman 42 percent, almost half of men experience moderate to extensive hair loss in their lifetime. As we all recently found out, I'm one of them.
Starting point is 01:53:38 But the doctors at Roman reached out and they suggested that I take their free online consultation so I can get the right products for myself and my hair.

Research shows that about 80 percent of men who use prescription hair loss treatment had no further hair loss after two years. Getting started is simple. I completed their free online visit. Then a U.S. licensed health care professional

Starting point is 01:54:51 One question with the quarterback. And we have a very special guest, recurring guest, quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, Matt Ryan. He is calling us from, he's got a pickup line. What number are you? Oh, no, I can't ask that question. Shit. He's waiting for his kids.
Starting point is 01:55:09 He just put up number three. So that's a nice number in the pickup line at school. So thank you for joining us, Matt. We all get one question. You get one question. I'll start Sunday, big win against the Raiders, 39 yard run from you. Was there a point during the run where you're like,
Starting point is 01:55:30 where is everyone? Yeah, probably about five yards into it. I was like, this isn't normal, you know? Like I've been doing it for a long time. And it's probably been 20 years since I had a run that long since I was in high school. So it was pretty cool. We needed it.
Starting point is 01:55:49 It was a huge play in that game. And I was gassed the next play though. I was dying. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. That was a fantastic play to watch. My question is after the game's over,
Starting point is 01:56:02 you've got Jeff Saturday, brand new head coach in this league, a lot of naysayers, a lot of doubters. In the locker room, what was his message to the team? He was short, man. He was just like, I appreciate the work this week. Most importantly, he was like, Sea of Wednesday, gave us the victory Monday, which is really all the players want to hear at that point.
Starting point is 01:56:26 He knows. You know, so yeah, he knows, he knows. He's a former player, so he got in the good graces there, kind of giving us Monday, Tuesday off. And it was fun, man. It was a wild week. I got to tell you, it was a wild week. And for a 10 that way, it was really cool.
Starting point is 01:56:42 Yeah, it was a wild week. All right, Billy, you got a question? Hi, Matt. Billy here with Pardon My Take. Just wondering, what's it like playing in front of Sam Ellinger and does that fuel you to do better? Billy's a big Sam Ellinger guy. Yeah, no, listen, I love Sam. He's a good kid, no doubt about it.
Starting point is 01:57:03 And I told him like two weeks ago, the only way this situation is going to be awkward is if we make it awkward. So, you know, it's both of us want to play. Only one of us is going to get to play. And, you know, so it was a strange deal for sure. But, you know, when I found out I was going back in, you know, I didn't worry too much about it.
Starting point is 01:57:27 I love Sam, but I didn't worry too much about it. Yeah, I mean, it sounds like you're, yeah. I mean, it sounds like of all the quarterbacks I'd have to think of like having that situation go down, you'd probably be at the top of the list of guys that like would make it cool and like not, you know, awkward. Well, I appreciate that. I try not to make it awkward.
Starting point is 01:57:45 Don't get me wrong. I was pissed, but yeah, the competitor. I mean, I would just say iron sharpens iron. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You gotta do it. All right. So it's my question for you guys now. We have one more.
Starting point is 01:57:57 Jake has a question. Okay. Jake, go ahead. Whatever you want, Jake. Go ahead, Jake. You don't have to ask the one I just said. I see the look on your face. You're like, I don't want to ask that. Go ahead, Jake.
Starting point is 01:58:08 You got this. Hey, Matt, Jake Marsh, part of my Take Podcast. Congratulations on the win this week. But what's the longest you have gone without having to hear about 28 to three? Oh, yeah. I'll give like the in season answer. It's it's once a week because it's every stadium I go into
Starting point is 01:58:28 some unoriginal clown comes up and goes with the 28 to three line. So it's every week, every week in in season. But during the off season, it just depends if I'm back in New England or not. If I'm up in New England, where I went to school, where my wife's from, then we'll hear plenty about it. But, you know, they I'm I like guys that like or fans that, you know, have creative like good digs at you.
Starting point is 01:58:54 But when it's unoriginal stuff like 28 to three, you're like, yeah. Yeah. And now you have to reset the counter because Jake just brought it up. So today correct this week. Yeah. Yeah. We have Max. You have a question. We have one last question from Max, who's also a Philly guy.
Starting point is 01:59:08 Philly to Philly. Go ahead, Max. Big Interact fan. Did Jim Ursay cry this week? Oh, good question. Good question. I didn't see him cry after the game. No, I didn't see him cry. He's filled with emotion, though. I'll just say it that way.
Starting point is 01:59:27 He's he's a man filled with with lots of emotions. So but I didn't see him cry. No, I didn't see it. I love him. So tell him I say that I love him. That's not a question. Just tell him PFT says that he loves me. And we we we joked on the podcast
Starting point is 01:59:41 that that might have been a top five day for Jim Ursay because it was a weird week and a lot of people were coming after him and and to have that all culminate in a win had to have felt pretty damn good for him. Yeah, he was feeling pretty good last night. Yeah, he was feeling pretty good last night in the locker room afterwards.
Starting point is 01:59:56 Yeah. All right. So now is your time for one question. All right. I'm going to go with I know you guys are big on the picks. How we how do how do we do? How did you boys do this weekend and who did we win on? So question you. Yeah, one on you.
Starting point is 02:00:13 The second Saturday was announced as head coach. I was like, you know what, I like it. And I think that he's probably going to bring Maddie Iceback because you you've played in more NFL games, probably easier for a new coach to come into a situation with a veteran. So we we dropped the house on you. Yeah, this week.
Starting point is 02:00:34 It was my mortal lock. It was my mortal lock. I don't know if you know that, but my mortal lock is like very important. Mortal lock was the cults and I was one. We watched every play and it was a great week. It was it was actually a very good Sunday, which they are rare.
Starting point is 02:00:49 Like, I, you know, I've given this speech before to players like you guys think you have it tough because you actually have to play the games. You don't because we have to watch and bet on them. And it's a lot tougher for us to have to because you get you play one game. We bet every game. Stop, man.
Starting point is 02:01:06 The NFL is brutal, too. I mean, it really is. Yeah, for us. And then I got to go out there again tonight. Yeah. Yeah, you have to play back to back. You get you have Victory Monday and Tuesday. Yeah, you're not worked to Wednesday.
Starting point is 02:01:17 I got to I got to strap them up tonight. Yeah, we're back to strap it up tonight. Get ready for Thursday night. Yeah, I was going Thursday night. Thursday night's been a disaster this year. We still we still watch. Yeah, I'm addicted to football. Yeah, football addict.
Starting point is 02:01:30 So yeah, in your game, you can put a football game on Wednesday morning at 6 30. And I'm going to just call in sick to work and be like, nope, got to stay home. Yeah. And I hope you understand that your Thursday night game in Denver, it was so bad. It got good.
Starting point is 02:01:42 Like it got funny. I don't know if you guys ever feel that in the huddle and like, but we were watching it. We're like, this game sucks. And by the end, when we got to overtime, we're like, this game kind of rules. Yeah, I felt that way during the game. I was like, I can't believe this.
Starting point is 02:01:56 You know, we're playing the worst offense. I've been a part of, you know, and then you look up at the end of the game, you're like, holy shit, we won. Yeah, you know, we won. We had a chance to, it was crazy. So that was, they've been wild games on Thursday nights. I think we had you guys that night, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:14 Actually, we had you guys against, against the chiefs as well. Yes. When the roof was open. I'm not going to ask a question about the roof being open, but I just know that when the roof is open, that adds a little extra pep in your step. It's like, OK, God gets to watch us on Sunday. That's pretty cool.
Starting point is 02:02:28 Yeah. That's exactly what I'm thinking when they open it up. All right. Well, Matt, thank you so much for taking a few minutes with us. We appreciate it. Best of luck the rest of the season. And yeah, that was one question, the quarterback. Very easy, right?
Starting point is 02:02:43 Awesome. You guys are the best. Thanks for having me on. All right. Thanks, Matt. Thank you, Matt. Appreciate it. One questions with Matt E. Ice is brought to you by 3G.

Starting point is 02:03:55 Oh, Max, you had someone, right? Yeah, it was Joe who does sales for us. And she was legitimately upset that we had a son.

Starting point is 02:04:44 Sup. Did you see that bar, by the way? Oh, yeah, I showed you. There's a bonks bar in Philly. It's just not familiar with it. It's called bonks. We'll never go to that bar. Someone asked me on Twitter what my favorite version
Starting point is 02:04:55 of the coffee was. I said the light roast, and they said bonk. And I was like, what? Yeah, the bonks are just out of control. They really are. It's gotten to the point like, if there's any, if I reference a woman, people are like bonk. Just because I sent the group chat last night, a picture
Starting point is 02:05:11 of Miley Cyrus with her left hand up while she was riding a giant inflatable penis, doesn't mean that I was being horny. That was also different than the one you tweeted at Kevin Durant, which means you have a library of Miley Cyrus pictures. No, what happened was I searched Miley Cyrus left hand up. Oh, that's what you searched. And then I saw that one picture.
Starting point is 02:05:30 And then I saw the one with her riding the giant inflatable penis. And I was like, that's a little bit too much. That's too hot for the internet. I'll keep that one to the group chat. Personal chat. All right, Sup. Sup.
Starting point is 02:05:41 Just bought Big Cat's new coffee, and I'm feeling jacked. Anyway, recently, three guys from my past have tried to come back into my life. But I'm pretty sure each of them just wants to fuck. Yeah. I've only hooked up with one of them. My birthday is this weekend, and I'm debating how to best handle this with the amount of alcohol I'll be consuming
Starting point is 02:05:59 and the potentially bad decisions I'll be making. Please send your best advice on how to handle these boys. Also, I'm a Vikings fan who completely agrees with the opinions on Kirk Cousins, but won't apologize for the A1. You just got to invite them all and see who hangs around the longest. Yes, I like that.
Starting point is 02:06:13 It's kind of like in the reunion episodes of Love is Blind, when they just get everybody in a bar together and get them drunk, and they all just start fighting, and one person will eventually go home with the person. Yeah, just invite them all at different times. So invite one that you like the most, maybe at 7, and then tell the other one, meet us at this bar at 7.30, and then 8 o'clock, and have them all just show up,
Starting point is 02:06:35 and have to figure out on the fly. Or just be like, hey, can you guys all come over at 9 to this bar called Air Tight? Yeah. Put them in a group text. Yeah. Yeah, put them on, because that's a good move. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:06:48 It's getting cold out. I'd like to make sure I'm Air Tight for the winner. Hi, guys. I recently decided to get back on the dating apps and opted to put in my bio about being a Bears fan as a conversation starter. The problem is, when guys send me a message about football, they always do the as an ex fan.
Starting point is 02:07:10 Two of the last messages I received over the weekend are, as a Colts fan, I still think the way Fields playing is playing right now is sick. And I thought the no-pi call at the end of the Bears Dolphins game. That's the horniest man alive. Well, it's on a dating app. And then, and I thought the no-pi call at the end
Starting point is 02:07:30 of the Bears Dolphins game was bad, and that's coming from a Bengals fan. Should I even be responding and giving these guys a shot? Appreciate the help. No. No, you should wait till one of them does something funny with it. Yeah, yeah, wait until someone does something funny with it.
Starting point is 02:07:47 Are you also, you have to be thinking about your future here a little bit, where you're anticipating what, like your future children will be growing up in a house divided situation. You want to make sure that they have at least one great franchise. That's true. I don't know that people aren't dating apps thinking
Starting point is 02:08:02 that many steps in advance. But if they are. Yeah. Make sure that you have some type of well-run organization. Yeah. If you're thinking that far in advance, you're never going to find anyone put that way. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 02:08:16 Deep from Hank. It's true. Hey, guys, my boyfriend is a big fan of your show. What about you? Yeah. All right, next. I am too. Oh.
Starting point is 02:08:27 Oh, god. Shit. Psych. Nice reading. I am too, for being honest. Yeah, that's on Hank. That's totally on him. Wait, wait, and she said, if we're being honest,
Starting point is 02:08:37 now I'm back off of her again. Yeah. But I had a serious question. Is it normal for you guys to hump everything? My guy will walk up to any random wall or chair, or even me, and start dry humping aggressively, LOL. You're dating a golden retriever? It does bring you to laughs.
Starting point is 02:08:51 But I got to wonder if it's normal dude behavior. No. I would say no. I don't think I've ever humped anything. The only time I can think of I've humped a thing. The only time you would do a hump outside of sex is if someone's on camera, and you walk up behind him and do a little eh.
Starting point is 02:09:10 That's just good guy humor. Yeah. Where it's like, eh, look at them. That's almost like an air hump. Yeah, right. In the background. Right, but actual physical objects of humping them? No.
Starting point is 02:09:19 I think that you've got to. I think he's got a problem. Yeah. A big problem. Do you think that he knows that he does this? So when he listens to this part of the show, he's like, oh, fuck. I just got out of it as a humper. He probably does, yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:33 Why? I mean, there can't be that many. I don't understand. Humpaholics. I think you need to squeeze all the humps out of him. You just have to have more sex. He's walking around with extra humps in his pocket. Like that guy should get bonked.
Starting point is 02:09:43 Yeah. That guy is extremely horny. But if he's like looking at a couch and thinking to himself, like, yeah, but you're getting mad at the horny police, and now you are the horny police. Well, yeah, but I think I'm doing a much better job. You know, fun when they grab it, got the gun. Regulating it.
Starting point is 02:09:54 I'm like the FTX guy. I'm writing the regulations. Yeah. But he needs to, it sounds like you need to get the humps out of him, because you can't hump forever. So get him out, and then to walk around, and he won't have to hump things. All right, two more good ones.
Starting point is 02:10:10 Hi, PMT. My husband only wants to go down on me when he's high or drunk, which is the occasional weekend for him. Just some courage, courage there? I asked him why, and he says that it's just a coincidence and really no reason. I'm concerned, because I decay if this is a problem with me
Starting point is 02:10:25 or a problem with him, or even if this is how most guys are. What should I do to get him to go downtown while he's sober? Maybe just give him some cash afterwards. Sounds like he needs to just be nudged over the fence, which is why he's drinking the beer or why he's getting high beforehand. He needs to know that it's OK to do. He don't wear pants to bed. Yeah, he's got, oh, I like that.
Starting point is 02:10:47 Yeah, he's basically working up the courage to go deep sea diving. Yeah, Billy? Stella Blue, all the reviews talked about courage. Yeah. One of the reviews talked about courage? Yes, that's a fact. That's Billy's review of Stella Blue.
Starting point is 02:11:01 This coffee makes me want to perform cunnilingus. Perfect. I should actually make out with it, make it something so that it makes the scent smell good. Pussy eating coffee? Or just be, yeah, just market it. Be like, this will make your husband go down on it. Yeah, this coffee is so good, it will eat your pussy.
Starting point is 02:11:19 It's Michael J. Fox. All right, hello. It comes with a dildo. What was the Michael J. Fox thing there, Hank? Was he a big pussy eater? No, you're thinking of, and Michael J. Fox is not. I've got thinking of, I'm not going to say the joke I thought of, but just put it.
Starting point is 02:11:34 For the record, I had tougher, it'd be like a vibrate. That's what I was going to say, yes. Who am I thinking of? Gordon Gekko. Yeah, yeah. No. Yeah, you are. Yeah, Michael, what's his name?
Starting point is 02:11:46 Katherine Zad and Jones is a pussy eater. Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas. Got cancer from eating pussy. Ate too much pussy. That's what I was talking about. Which is objectively like if.
Starting point is 02:11:55 That's close. All cancer sucks. Everyone knows someone who's had cancer. It's the worst. But getting like pussy eating cancer kind of rocks. I don't think Michael Douglas and Michael J. Fox is that far off. About pretty far off. Very different.
Starting point is 02:12:08 Their names are both Michael. Yeah. Actors. Who's that guy with Parkinson's? Michael Jordan? Hello, PMT. My boyfriend is weirdly scared. I mean, that's basically what you just said.
Starting point is 02:12:20 No, dude, they're both actors in the same era with the name Michael. Michael J. Fox is a very, he's a very well-known guy. Yeah. So was Michael Douglas. Yeah, he got cancer from eating pussy. Exactly. Fuck, I just lost the last one. One second.
Starting point is 02:12:36 Hello, PMT. Jake, do you, as a broadcaster, seeing Michael Douglas' trials and tribulations, are you like, I won't eat pussy for my voice? No, I just use cough drop. I put a cough drop in my water the other day. Nice. Wow. Safest man alive.
Starting point is 02:12:55 Yeah, it's basically lean. Jake's on the lead. He's on the purple. Hello. Chopped and screwed, Jake is. Hello, PMT. My boyfriend is weirdly scared of the dark and refuses to leave the room to pee in the middle of the night.
Starting point is 02:13:12 Also a dog. He has chosen to keep a gallon jug in his room that he pisses in. How can I stop him from doing this? Cora in Indiana. All right. Nightlight. Now, the piss jug is something that most guys, I think, leave behind in college.
Starting point is 02:13:28 Yeah. Piss jug was an integral part of my college experience. Yes. Because I didn't have a sink or anything in my room to pee in. But most guys, when they move in with a woman, they just they get rid of the bedpan lifestyle. So I think nightlight is probably the move at this point. But I think you need to have a conversation with him of,
Starting point is 02:13:46 hey, why do you think it's OK to just have a giant jug of piss in the room with me at any given time? Yeah. I just use your phone flashlight to guide you to the bathroom. I think you need to get him a nightlight or a binky. Because if he actually is scared of the dark, I think that's the it's like the pissing is not the problem. It's like you can't be you can't actually be afraid of the dark.
Starting point is 02:14:08 Yeah. I mean, the dark is scary. There are times when it's like, you know, when you walk into your house and like no lights are on, you're like, what if someone's someone's always behind like the shower curtain? I still check closet sometimes. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:14:21 That is scary. Oh, I had one more. Someone sent me. I have not won the lottery ball. Fun fact. That's why you saying that. I just I just want to bring it up. Fun fact.
Starting point is 02:14:31 Nope. Chick here. That's true. It's yep. Chick here. I've been wondering how long have you guys had the lottery ball machine if Hank has ever gotten it? We got it on August 27th, 2020.
Starting point is 02:14:41 And has Hank ever gotten it? I just answered that if you were listening. What did you say? I wasn't. I was reading. Oh, I got it. I actually have one, too. That big cat sent me a second ago.
Starting point is 02:14:50 Hey, what's up? This is a girl. I was wondering who here has gotten the lottery machine right? I have. Yeah, I have. I've gotten it the most. OK. Which is still unconfirmed.
Starting point is 02:15:02 Yeah. I can confirm. Anyone else want to answer? I also have gotten it. OK. I've gotten it. OK. Most recently.
Starting point is 02:15:08 Oh, wow. Jake, sounds like you're really good at the lottery machine. 6' 9". I haven't been asked for numbers yet. False start, Billy. That was a false start. I just said it. No, I mean, OK.
Starting point is 02:15:26 What? I don't care. I haven't. I don't care. Would this be good for Stella Blue if Hank got it right now due to the review? Oh, wow. It would.
Starting point is 02:15:37 But you don't care about that. Numbers. You'd rather me lose 17. 17. I think I got you, Hank. I think I got you. I think I got you. I'm looking at the levels.
Starting point is 02:15:46 I'm looking at the levels. You did not say 17. You were in the middle of a sentence. I'm looking at the audio levels in the exact same spot. You were in the middle of a sentence. I actually think mine started earlier. Did you even say it?
Starting point is 02:15:56 Yeah. Raw paper, scissor. No, fine. Fuck it. All right, Billy, what was your number? 69? 17. Jesus Christ, Billy.
Starting point is 02:16:04 Chill out. Jake. 18. 49. Yes, 17. 20. I'll do 48. 40.
Starting point is 02:16:21 Come on, Hank. You got this, bro. Fuck you. You got. Whoa. That was really mean. I've been supporting you. Looks like 31.
Starting point is 02:16:33 31. Tough luck, Hank. Do that next time. Second time. No, we won't. Google big-headed turtles. They're almost as cool as shoe bill storks. Love you guys.
