On today's part of my take, we have UFC legend Randy Couture joins us in studio, yeah, we
sized him up.
It's not a big deal.
Talk to us about the fight game, his career, his new venture, which sounds absolutely awesome.
We also have our football guy of the week, Tyler Trent.
You probably saw the story.
It was an incredible one.
He's fighting cancer and he was able to make it to the Purdue, Ohio State game, Die Hard
Boilermaker and basically took down Urban Meyer himself.
So we had a lot of fun talking to him about football, who his favorite football player
is, all that good stuff.
We also have fantasy fuck boys and a little Hank's grab bag before we do the NFL Week
8 preview.
Before we get to all that though, let's do some ads and because it's Friday, let's do
some Larry's picks.
PFT.
Who we got up first?
We're going to start in jolly old England town with the morning game.
I don't know.
I haven't researched yet.
Is it a morning game or is it that shitty one o'clock game?
No, it's a morning game.
Okay, cool.
I thought you were asking if it's the morning game in England.
It's not.
It's like 3.30 in the afternoon.
It's Blake Bortles and the Jaguars against the Eagles.
Okay, let's do it.

Okay.
Let's go.
Welcome to part of my take presented by Seek Geek.
Today is Friday, October 26th and please remember to change your clocks.
Yeah.
That's this weekend, right?
We think.
It's actually next weekend but I want to get everyone ready and I was really excited
for it this weekend.
So I might just do it.
I might live in my own time zone.
I think we, yeah, we talked about doing that earlier this week, right?
Yeah, right.
Yeah, live in your life on Coughlin Daylight Savings Time.
But now we have it for next weekend when we're in LSU and very hungover.
Good point.
So remember, set your clocks forward an hour this weekend.
Yeah.
Yes, do it this weekend.
Turn them forward.
And don't be upset at us.
Okay.
Also, PSA.
Part of my take, PSA.
Shout out, Megan Kelly.
Yeah.
No blackface.
No blackface.
We don't want anybody out there doing blackface.
It's anti-Nazi, anti-lisps, anti-blackface.
You might want to clarify that second one.
We're against people who are anti-lisps or pro-lisps.
Yes.
That has really fucked up that they made lisp such a hard word to say.
It is.
For people with lisp.
That is so brutal.
Lisp.
Yeah, it is.
I thought I had a lisp there for a second.
Yeah, I thought you did too.
Anti-pro, blig-bordles, anti-blackface.
Is there something else we're anti?
I can't remember.
There's a lot of stuff that we've come out strongly against.
Bad vibes.
Bad vibes.
So yeah, but don't do blackface.
Don't even think about it.
I don't care.
No, stop.
I can hear you out there.
I don't care how funny.
But PFT, what about, but PFT, what if I want to do, but PFT.
But I'm going as Rachel Dolezal, who is it, so it's not really blackface.
I don't care.
No.
I don't care.
I'm trying to help you here.
Okay?
Yeah.
Just don't do it.
It's not Halloween season.
It is the start Thursday was the start of 27 straight days with football.
There's going to be a college game or an NFL game for 27 straight days and I am so
excited.
That is like the best feeling in the world to know that every night there's a little
football waiting for you at home, maybe action, maybe fun belt, who knows, but it's waiting
for you and it's there and it's ready to go.
Yes.
Every single time you get home.
27 days until the next day with that.
This is like guys version of syncing up on our periods together.
Yeah.
The moon is controlling football for the next 27.
We're all going to be, you know what?
That's actually not a bad correlation.
We're all going to be probably a little bit bloated from eating a lot of salty snacks.
We're going to be irritable because we're going to be losing a lot of our bets.
We're going to be bleeding out of various holes from doing drugs and such.
And the other thing is 27 at the end of the 27th day is actually when college basketball
tournaments start.
Oh man.
So, and then you get the daytime college basketball.
I feel bad for people that live before television.
Yeah.
Where do they look at?
They probably just looked at a wall and imagined that there were sports going on.
Advocacy.
No, they had.
Advocacy.
Yeah.
They just had math all the time.
No, they all just had pictures of Jesus in their house and that was like, hey, come
see my 36 inch Jesus.
Yeah.
I just got a new one.
That's actually.
I would go over to somebody's house and see a 36 inch Jesus.
Yeah.
That's pretty impressive.
Yeah.
No, no shit.
Oh, build down the street.
He just got a 55 inch or his wife led him.
I can't believe it.
It's the whole fucking thing.
You know what they did?
They just had fireplaces.
Yeah.
Because you can stare at a fireplace for a long time.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Okay.
So NFL week eight.
It hurts to say week eight, but we're going to have fun.
It's Friday.
Let's get loose.
Next week is going to be the really scary week because that's when it's officially over
halfway.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
Don't.
Okay.
Pause time.
Everyone pause time really quick.
One, two, three.
Pause.
Enjoy the moment.
Football is here.
Just stop talking during the pause time.
One, two, three.
Go.
Okay.
You'll think about that moment in like February.
It was a great.
You'll think about the moment.
Yeah.
We just paused at the exact, almost the exact halfway mark.
We shared that together.
Yeah.
And I'll never forget it.
All right.
So the rocket ship.
What a performance.
Yeah.
I mean, I love them.
Yes.
He, listen, he had a couple of overthrows.
Yes.
He threw one backwards.
That somehow wasn't a fumble.
That was smart.
That was a smart move.
He knows the rule book more than anybody else.
So he knew that if he, if he like flailed his arms wildly and accidentally threw the
ball five yards backwards, then it would actually count as him trying to bring it back into
his body.
Yes.
So good move on his.
Terrible rule.
Yeah.
Bad, awful rule.
The common sense should prevail there.
He threw it backwards.
That should be a fumble.
He also had his classic rocket ship interception where he threw the ball where there was no
receiver even close.
And it was a perfect strike right to the linebackers.
Such a catchable ball.
Yes.
It's like, that is such a perfect rocket ship throw.
Yeah.
It was good.
He also had an assist.
Yes.
So I don't know if Ryan Tannehill has ever had an assist, but Brock threw a pass to Danny
Amondola who then threw the touchdown pass.
Yes.
A little Philly special going on.
He gets a point.
He gets a point out of that.
So yeah.
I mean, he really, if we're doing our three stars of the night, I think Brock's got me
number one.
Yeah.
And we saw Brandon Whedon for a second.
He, he knelt the ball at the end of the first half.
Improved his career yards per carry.
I really wish he had just said, fuck it.
Just tried to run one.
Oh, I bet if it was Kyle Horton, you know he would have.
Yeah, he would have.
But it was, it was actually an enjoyable game.
And I think the Texans are officially back because they've gone five games in a row now
that they've won.
Well, here's the thing.
We put the Dunch chain.
I think they were the first team that I Dunch chained.
Yikes.
It was for the moment.
Now I'm going to pull a little kid, a kid to leave to leave FT here and I'm going to
snatch the Dunch chain.
No, I'm chain snatching.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, sir, do not because listen, spin zone, as long as they don't win
the Super Bowl.
We were right.
They might win the Super Bowl.
No, they're not going to win the Super Bowl.
Guaranteed.
I'll cut off a pinky.
Okay.
Here we go.
We got that one.
God fucking dammit.
What did I just say?
Yeah.
What did you just say?
Well, half of a pink.
No, no, no, no.
It's half a pinky.
No, no, no, no.
I have horseshit.
I'm cut off half a pinky.
Nope.
I'm cut off half.
I'm cut off the top of my nub.
You're going to do top half of my pinky.
You're going to act like the Minnesota Vikings long snapper.
Yeah.
We'll go looking forward.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Like those fish in the salons that eat from here.
You can't have any.
Yeah, right.
I'll cut off the nail and I'll have a nub.
I heard that he was going to cut his pinky off.
I'll have a nub.
You didn't even eat shit, so.
I did eat shit.
Yeah, no one really saw.
Hank was there.
I saw.
It was never on video.
You refused to put it on video.
It was on video.
Yeah.
Remember?
You don't want to be kicked.
You turned your back.
You don't want to be kicked.
You turned your back.
All right.
So yeah.
It's, yeah.
See?
So you admit it wasn't on video.
I respect you so much.
I want to take it back.
Do you think the Texans actually have a chance to do anything?
Yeah.
The Texans definitely have a chance to beat the Bengals in the playoffs.
I'll put it that way.
Yes.
Okay.
Now I'm getting nervous.
You know what I'll do is if they get to the Super Bowl, just put like an outrageous
amount of money on them.
So that way.
And buy a new finger.
If I win.
Yeah.
It's like not all bad.
It's also an inspirational story.
If you lose a finger and then you continue to pod and blog.
We will get so many people listening to this show.
If I have to cut off my finger live on this show.
Yeah.
Your first blog back.
Yeah.
Minus a pinky.
That's going to be, that should be nominated for an SB for the courage award.
Do you know what I'll do too?
I'm going to even go one further.
We'll have JJ watch.
I'll be like, JJ, you just won the Super Bowl, bro.
You have to come watch me cut off the tip of my pinky.
Yeah.
Okay.
So this is now a thing.
So I guess, I guess now everybody is rooting for the Houston Texans.
This is how fast things get out of control here because this was supposed to just be
a fun Friday.
Let's talk about the games and now I'm talking about cutting off the tip of my pinky.
Yeah.
Let's unpack this a little bit.
How do you want, are you going to do it yourself?
Yeah.
Are you going to, I don't think you're going to be able to do it yourself.
This isn't 27 hours or whatever.
Christian Bale on the prestige.
Just put the cork in your mouth and just, I'll probably have a doctor come and do it.
Hank spoilers.
Jesus Christ.
I'll probably have a doctor come and do it.
Or actually, you know what?
Maybe I'll just have, remember the, or how about in reservoir dogs where they have the
guy like tied down and they play stuck in the middle with you.
Yeah.
They cut his ear off.
Yeah.
You know what I'll do?
You remember the, the, the, the cutters you had at the, at your office.
Cigar cutter.
What the fuck are they called?
Cigar cutter.
No, no, no.
They're the big cutter.
Yeah.
The big board.
Yeah.
The paper cutters.
So I'll just put my finger in that and it was like that.
I was kind of hoping that you'd ask me to do it.
No, I'd absolutely.
Because you'll cut the whole fucking thing.
I'm just trying to, I'm just trying to get the, I'm just trying to get a nice clean
nub.
33 to one right now.
You know what we do?
I got to put some money down.
You just, you just want the nub cut off, right?
Just a tip.
Absolutely.
From the, from the, uh, from the fingernail up.
So we get Tim Tebow to do it.
Yeah.
We get Tim Tebow to circumcise your finger.
I want no.
Yeah.
You basically draw a line at the fingernail.
Cut that.
Yep.
And then I'll just have a nice little fucking like, and I'll point it at people and they'll
puke.
It's like, don't you fucking come at me.
The JPP of podcasts.
Yeah.
If there's one guy that's absolutely qualified, it's Tim.
I'm actually, I have my people reach out to him.
You know what?
I'm like, I'm already, I've already said goodbye to it.
I don't even.
What do you use your pinky for?
Actually, the tip, it would be bad ass to have the tip of my pinky and maybe, maybe
it, when it heals, I'll put a tattoo on it so you can like stare at it like, Hey, stop
looking at my nub.
My eyes are up here.
Yeah.
I get you a prosthetic tip to your pinky.
Okay.
Let's do some games now that I've really just stepped in it.
Okay.
Um, loser leaves town.
Yeah.
Loser leaves town game.
I got an easy one.
I've got an easy one too.
Philly Jacksonville.
Yes.
Okay.
And it's actually for this game, since it's over in London, it's more just like,
take away the loser's return passport.
Yes.
So this game, I'll, I'll say that this game will decide if like the loser of this game
is done, right?
Out of the playoffs.
Yeah.
Maybe a done chain.
Actually, the Eagles can still survive because the NFC East, they still might be able to
survive.
I looked at the R word schedule.
You want me to run through it game by game, by game, by game, by game, by Francesca.
The bottom line is the R words are going to go 10 and six minimum, maybe 11 and five.
So this is easy loser leaves town.
What is your, are we sure they're good game?
Are we sure they're good Seattle at Detroit?
Hmm.
Okay.
I have Jets Bears, but I think both play.
Both.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So both will be a big, the winner of that game will walk away being like the whole
seasons in front of us, we're ready to go.
The loser of those games are going to be down in the dumps and thinking, holy fuck, we're
screwed.
Yeah.
I'm in.
Okay.
I actually think the Lions.
The Lions could be okay.
Are we sure they're good?
We're not sure they're bad.
Well, we'll find out on Sunday.
Yeah, we're sure they're good.
Turn in to Dick Stockton and Mark Slarith.
Seahawks Lions.
My Fox.
What about the game of the week?
Is it Minnesota, New Orleans for you to know Rams Packers?
Okay.
Yeah.
There's two good, there's two games of the week.
Here's whole games of the week.
I listen, it's a first quarter of the week for Rams Packers because I get the feeling
the Rams are going to go up on them like 30 to 10.
I wish we could just flex this, switch this with the Patriots bills.
Yeah.
Like that does not need to be on Monday night.
Give us Rams Packers on Monday night.
Yep.
Here's the thing.
Here's a little stat for you.
Wait, is the Patriots bills in Buffalo?
Yeah.
Okay.
So there's a Buggermobile on the snow.
Buggermobile's in trouble.
No, we are not flexing that one.
The Packers.
Air Rogers.
You just assume it's going to snow every game in Buffalo?
Yeah.
Of course.
That's how it works.
It's either going to snow or you're going to get your dick sucked in the park garage
because you gave away your Kiko Alonzo jersey.
Yeah.
Are you going to get hit with a dildo on the Buggermobile?
One of the three.
One of the three.
Yeah.
The Packers.
Nine and a half.
That is the largest spread that Aaron Rodgers have ever been given as an underdog.
That's a huge number for Aaron Rodgers.
It is.
And he's coming off a bye so that knee probably feeling a little better.
Mike McCarthy has a little bit more time to figure out how to misuse all his wide receivers.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
What?
At the Coliseum.
That's where Carson Wentz towards ACL last year.
God forbid.
Jesus.
God forbid.
God forbid.
I said God forbid.
It's not going to happen.
Okay.
Real shame.
By the way, Carson Wentz has an injury.
He had nothing to do with the turf.
He was literally in midair.
Yeah, I know.
But God forbid.
God forbid.
It's also the place where it happened though.
Bad juju there.
Bad juju.
Okay.
You want to do a few picks?
Wait.
We also have our...
Oh, rivalry game.
No, rivalry is back on.
Oh, the rivalry is back on again.
Oh, that's Brown Steelers.
Brown Steelers.
Yes.
And double revenge game in that one.
Todd Haley revenge game.
And Joe Hayden revenge game.
Mm.
A little on both sides of the ball there.
Yeah.
That is nice.
The rivalry is definitely back on.
Here's a little fun stat.
Somebody told me that I didn't bother to fact check at all.
Just lay it on me.
So we'll have the PMT stats department take a look at it, Hank.
Do it.
There it is.
Every Browns coach that is...
The last five Browns coaches that have been fired have gotten fired after they played Pittsburgh.
That doesn't sound right, but it sounds right enough.
It doesn't sound right, but it feels right.
It sounds right enough.
Like, sounds are right enough.
Pittsburgh was the last team that they played against.
Okay.
We'll have somebody check that out.
Yeah, whatever.
That's cool enough.
Yeah, yeah.
I like that stat.
What's going on with Levy on Bell?
Is he back?
He's strodinger's back.
No, he's back.
He's strodinger's running back.
He's back, but he's not back.
He said he was going to come back, but he's not back.
He hasn't shown up to the facility, I don't think.
So what's up?
He hasn't practiced.
What's up?
Yeah.
It sounds like you should ask that to Levy on Bell.
Yo, Bell.
I don't understand it.
I actually just thought of that today.
Like, I just assumed that he was back because he said that he was going to be back.
And then we just got lost in the shuffle.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I have no idea what he's thinking.
Because this doesn't count as a vested year.
Is it this week?
No, it's week 10.
It's week 10.
So that's when he'll be back.
Okay.
Maybe.
He's lost a lot of money this year.
Yeah, he has.
Yes, he has.
It's true.
Checked out.
Checked out.
He's lost a lot of money.
It's on NFL Reddit and that links to an ESPN article.
Oh, wow.
That's enough for me.
So without clicking the ESPN logo.
There you go.
Yep.
All right.
Let's get to fantasy fuck boys.
Let's do it.
All right.
PFT you go.
Yo, what's up?
This is Avery out of Naughty.
I'm here to talk to you guys about my fantasy picks of the week.
Make sure to win your game.
This weekend, I'm starting the cheerleaders uniforms.
This is probably the last year we're going to see them.
But guess what?
When they dress up like cartoon characters that my mom used to read me before bed every
night before she took my little tickets in.
That gets me going, baby.
That gets me all the way wrapped up.
We know it's better than cheerleaders.
Slutty cheerleaders.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Twins.
I don't know.
I don't know how to look at porn.
So I still got to stare down girls when they're on the sideline.
My sip.
Guess what?
I'm sitting this week.
I'm sitting crying.
That's right.
That's right.
Derek Carr.
You're crying because you got a little booboo on your spine, your leg.
Yeah.
Sting on your wrist, on your ankle.
Whoa.
I'm sorry.
One time I jumped out of a moving car because I saw the McRib was back.
All right.
I got road rash.
It wasn't that bad.
All right.
I just, I just washed it down with a couple of nice pickles.
Nice.
The pickles.
You love your pickles.
You know what I'm saying?
God, I do love them.
You love them.
Choking out those dills.
Whoa.
Oh, my sleeper is James Winston.
I'm sleeping James Winston.
He's been looking over his shoulder with 50 chomping at the pit to take over.
But now guess what?
The FBI just announced the male bomber's packages originated in Florida.
That's right.
A bunch of easily interceptable, harmless bombs coming from Florida.
Better interrogate this magic baby.
That's right.
James is back.
Okay.
Go.
Go.
What's your name?
My name is Mookie milkshakes.
I'm back on out of the week.
My stardom is James White.
He's been the most consistent offensive player for the Patriots this season.
And he's going to be a huge part of the offense on a weekly basis going forward.
Pelichek loves those white guys.
From?
The University of Wisconsin.
My stardom is Mo Bamba.
Do you have a hit song?
Do you have a hit song named after you?
You got to be averaging more than five points a game.
Oh, fuck that's true.
That's weak shit.
Get it together, Mo.
That guy hit the jackpot, huh?
Mo Bamba hasn't been working out for the...
The magic.
The magic.
He's still got a big wingspan though.
Hey, my sleeper is SB Dunks.
The hot shoe from the mid-2000s are back in a big way.
You see a pant.
Pick them up.
Nice.
You can't get into the club.
I like to go through wearing those though.
All right.
No white sneakers.
God, this is Tony Mio.
You might remember me from being a goalie, but it's not a goalie.
I'm the fantasy fucking expert.
My stardom, Todd Gurley.
I gave you the stat earlier this week.
He's got seven more points and the entire Buffalo Pills offense.
Well, guess what?
He's got more scrimmage TDs than nine NFL teams.
I'm starting to think this guy's fucking good.
You're going to want to start him.
Pick him up.
He's still available in 77% of your leagues.
Hey, Tony, why'd you let Pepeno score on you?
That one-nothing loss on the 4th of July.
You unpatriotic communist fuck.
Hey, good question.
Here comes the next one, though.
You better watch your fucking mouth because my cinnamon's bombs in the mail.
Everyone knows that's a coward fucking move in our business.
You shoot someone in the back of the head.
You don't put it a bomb in the mail.
And I'm going to put a bomb in the mail for you, Avery.
Just say it.
Not saying I will.
I'm just saying that I could.
If you see him bringing that shit up.
That's right.
You better check your mail, Bob.
I won't say it.
Yeah.
You might put one in an Arribuco's restaurant and get the insurance money off of it.
Get insurance money.
No spoilers.
You remember that, Hank?
Yeah, I do.
Yeah, that is good.
Arribuco.
Tony kills him at the end of this season.
I didn't know that.
That's fucked up.
That's fucked up.
Okay, my sleeper.
It's Starbucks Witches Brew.
You guys seen this?
Did he kill his wife?
No.
No, he fucked his wife.
Killed him.
That's fucked up, too.
I also made that up.
I don't think so.
It's white dog.
It ain't Tony.
None of this stuff happened, Hank.
All right, so Starbucks Witches Brew.
You guys see this?
It's a purple drink for witches.
Lean.
Be careful.
Listen, if you don't believe in witches, I don't know what to fucking tell you.
Little eye of new King Bridge in there, you know?
You're a little bit of a, you're a little bit of a scaredy cat if you think witches are
coming to get you, but you're also kind of a coward if you don't think witches are real.
You know, you can tell witches got me all twisted around right now.
They're real.
Listen, all I'm saying is I can't get an erection when a black cat's in the room.
All I'm saying is I watched Roll Dolls Witches when I was seven years old and I had nightmares
for the next six years of my life.
True story.
Riding around on a broom.
Who does that, all right?
He was like a kid on a hobby horse.
Purple eyeballs and no hair.
Holy fucking shit.
I'm scared right now.
Did you guys actually see that movie?
No, I didn't.
Oh my, I saw it when I was way too young.
Yeah.
Did you ever have those movies?
I saw it as well when I was way too young.
Like, someone should have stepped in and been like, nope, don't watch this movie because
I was fucked up from that.
Yeah.
Roll Dolls Witches.
I saw Stand By Me when I was like nine and I was like, this is fucking cool.
Kids get to fucking cuss.
Yeah.
And find dead bodies.
Yeah.
And then we had Sherry O'Connell back on.
Yes, absolutely.
The Brown Savior.
Talk some fantasy football with him.
Jesus Christ.
He, that guy.
What a guy.
Mr. Cat.
Okay.
Let's do our interviews.
Okay.
Before we get to our interviews, we have first up Randy Couture and we have another Larry's

Okay, here we go.
Randy Koutour.
Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest.
He is a UFC Hall of Famer.
He's here to talk about the professional fighters league.
It is Randy Koutour.
Thank you for joining us.
Thank you.
We just talked about the headphones fitting cauliflower ear.
Yep.
Do you walk around knowing that everyone sees a cauliflower ear and they're like, don't fuck
with that guy?
I mean, you wonder.
Some people, it's the first thing they notice.
They're like, oh my God.
It's a badge.
It's what happened to you years.
Right, who don't fuck with me.
And other people, they don't notice at all.
They're like, oh my God, I never even realized that.
Yeah, it's so weird.
It's like a no trespassing sign for your fist.
Well, yeah, there are certain countries where you go to the head of the line if you haven't.
Your royalty.
What countries are like Eastern Europe?
Bulgaria.
Oh, yeah.
Do you remember that?
I think it was Kimbo Slice's first professional fight.
He fought a guy that had some massive.
Britt.
Yeah, that's right.
Thompson.
Exploded his ear.
At what point does the ear just get so callous from being cauliflowered that it's impossible
to explode?
Well, like his, when it's fresh, like that, it's soft and squishy.
It's a bruise, basically.
Okay.
But unlike a bruise on your leg, your arm, your body has trouble reabsorbing that fluid.
So, you know, eventually it'll coagulate and get hard.
If you feel these now, they're.
Can I touch it?
They're like hard as a rock.
They're there.
It's like, wow, that is really hard.
Shit.
That's crazy.
I didn't realize how hard that was.
The fluid coagulates basically.
Thanks.
Jealous.
Damn.
Everything about popping it.
We have armor.
I had it drained.
Yeah.
I first got it and this one drained seven times, but I couldn't afford to sit out.
I was in the middle of trying to make the all army wrestling team and if I'd have sat
out, they'd have sent me back to my unit to keep wrestling every day.
And every time you get your heart rate up, it fills back up with.
It's interesting.
You did come from a wrestling background, like a lot of fighters do.
At what point did you realize that you could hold your own with your fists too?
That was the first order of business was to get more depth at striking.
I'd never really been in a lot of fights throughout school or any of that, so getting
used to having somebody try to punch me in the face and actually try to punch somebody
else in the face was a strange thing and something I had to get used to.
So the professional fighting league, that's what you're here talking about.
Let's talk about that real quick.
So what would tell everyone who, you know, I think MMA is obviously on the rise.
It's been a big time story, kind of come into mainstream lot, lot to do with Conor McGregor.
But what are you guys doing with the professional fighting?
Uh, well, it's a little bit different format there.
They're running a mixed martial arts format.
That's a lot more like professional sports.
We have a regular season, 12 athletes in six weight classes.
Those guys are going to compete twice in the regular season, depending on how they
finish those fights, they're going to score points.
The top eight from each weight class, the top eight point getters are going to move
on to the post season.
In the post season, it's a single elimination progressive tournament.
You got to win to move forward, just like the NFL or the NBA or anything else.
So it's definitely run more like a sports league, a traditional sports league.
And then we're just getting ready to have our, our third quarterfinal semifinals.
The guys will fight twice in one night, two rounds in the quarterfinals, three rounds
in the semifinals, obviously the semifinal winners advanced to the finale.
The finale is going to be here at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden on New Year's
Eve.
And there will be a million dollars given to the winner in each of the six weight classes.
So that's great.
It's going to be, you know, pretty big carrot dangling out there.
These guys have been getting after it, trying to score points and guarantee their spot in
the, in the post season.
And now we're, you know, kind of settling that fighting twice in one night.
That's it.
You haven't done that.
So it seems to me, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, that this is very much about
the fighting and maybe a little less about the, you know, fight promotion and, and all
the, you know, throwing trolleys at buses and all that stuff.
Absolutely about the fighting.
That's what I like about it.
So meritocracy, you could talk all the snack you want to talk, but it's not going to get
you any closer to that title.
You've got to win fights.
What did you, as a UFC Hall of Famer, what did you, what was your take on the entire
Habib, uh, McGregor fallout and, you know, the lead up and how everything kind of went
down?
It was found to happen sooner or later.
Connor's been pushing the envelope with his antics, you know, throwing water bottles,
grabbing people's belts, just generally being disrespectful at pressers and, and, you know,
obviously culminated last year with a chuck and a hand truck through a bus window and cutting
the couple of fighters and, you know, Khabib was on that bus and, and then roll into this
fight finally getting signed and him, you know, basically insulting Khabib's family
and his culture and all kinds of things.
He just, there's just several lines that got crossed.
Yeah.
So I'm surprised that Khabib waited till after the fight.
I mean, in my mind, that wasn't the moment.
If you were going to go off on this guy, do it at the presser, do it, you do it when the
guy tries to kick you at the way ends.
But that's your moment.
You just had almost a flawless performance and you, and you let them steal that moment
away from you.
That was your, the glory of the whole thing.
It was a great fight.
Yeah.
Did you exactly what he needed to do.
So I was kind of surprised that he let them get under his skin then and there and not
sooner.
Did you ever have a moment leading up to a fight where a guy was kind of going over the
line a few times with what he was saying about you or your family or anything like that?
The only time that that ever happened was Tito and I knew when I signed up to fight
Tito that that's how Tito was kind of the original bad boy, the guy that talks back
and use that as a tool of marketing and psychological warfare, trying to get in your head.
He wanted me to think about anything, but what I needed to think about to beat his ass.
That's what that's what's going on.
Do you think he thought it through that far or was he just being a dick?
Oh, Tito?
Yeah.
Oh, I absolutely think he was calculated.
He knew exactly what he was doing and still does.
That was his that's.
And that's Connor.
Connor knows what he's doing.
Connor knows.
Connor's got a writer.
Right.
That's stuff he said did not get pulled out of his butt.
He has somebody that does his research that's that's digging in and writing.
Do you think that's too much?
Do you think he like, do you think Dana White has a problem going forward with Connor, you
know, going maybe too far?
Or is this just the fight game?
I don't think Dana White cares as long as he's cashed and checked.
Yeah.
That was the funniest part about the entire pay-per-view was after when Dana White was
like, this is a black eye on UFC and blah, blah, blah.
It's like, no, it's probably probably going to, you know, lead to more money the next
time.
Run into a tunnel and throwing a hand truck through a bus wasn't a black eye on the sport.
Right.
Right.
I mean, he said that too at the time that it was a black eye on the sport, then they
used it as promo for the lead up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it feels like all that kind of stuff works to their favor.
And I actually think it works to even, you know, your new leagues favor because.
Absolutely.
All the MMA.
First of all, there's another viable outlet for us to go and be professional athletes
in this society, which in my opinion is a pretty huge deal.
They treat the fighters well.
The shows have been put on well.
This format, everybody had questions about the format because we're asking these guys
to fight over six weeks during the regular season and now fighting twice in one night
in the postseason.
Yeah.
That's a challenge, but fighters are up for that kind of challenge and they have responded
at a 70% finish rate this season, which is pretty remarkable.
That is.
The fighters are getting after it.
Yeah.
So you used to fight multiple times in a day too, right?
Like at the start of the year.
My very first event was UFC 13 and I fought twice that night.
Yeah.
How do you feel after getting into two fights in one night?
Depends on how those fights went.
Yeah.
Sometimes you feel like you got ran over by a truck and other times you feel like, I
could go again right now.
It's not a problem.
Yeah.
So if I'm ever thinking about doing some sort of, you know, strenuous physical activity,
my goal is make it through that so I can eat a huge meal afterwards because I've earned
a huge meal.
But the shitty thing is if you get into two fights, you might have to like just drink
a milkshake through straw afterwards.
Yeah.
So that's an issue.
But yeah, these guys are fighting twice in a night if they're successful.
Going into that second fight, how do you deal with pain?
Because I'm kind of a pussy.
So if I had like a broken rib or a broken finger, something like that.
Honestly, you rarely go into any fight, whether one fight in a night or not.
You don't go to anyone a hundred percent.
There's always a ding.
There's always something that's bothering you.
A camp has got to be tough.
And if it's not tough, then you're probably not going to fight very well on fight nights.
You never walk into a fight a hundred percent anyway.
But yeah, that can play in.
Some guys only had 30 to 45 minutes before they had to fight again.
Less time to cool down, less time for aches and pains and swelling and some of the other
stuff to set in.
They could get their body warmed right back up and go back out there.
Some guys had two hours.
You're sitting around for two hours.
Now you've got to get yourself back up, moving.
If you've got a bruised shin, if you've hurt your foot, kicked an elbow, whatever, you
got to get those body parts moving again and warmed up again.
And that can be a challenge.
That is one of the layers of the onion when you fight more than one.
Absolutely.
Do you ever look back on something like UFC 13, your first professional fight and you're
like, man, look how far this sport has come because it was kind of chaos.
It was crazy.
We did the weigh-ins in the lobby at the Holiday Inn in Augusta and that's the first time I'd
ever seen any of the guys I was fighting was when we stepped on the scale.
Were you ever on a Carly Butterbean?
No.
That's a legend.
Yeah, I know who he is.
He'll knock you out.
Knockout artist.
Yeah.
For sure.
Can he stop a double leg?
Probably not.
I don't know.
Probably not.
I don't know what that is.
That sounds bad though.
I don't want to get the double leg.
He's got a low center of gravity though.
But it's crazy to look at just how much of a growth the MMA community has had in the
last 20, 25 years.
It's crazy how far you've had to come.
Yeah.
It's exploded.
The first season of the Ultimate Fighter really changed the landscape for everybody.
Yup.
I remember watching it.
The reality vehicle was a great vehicle to kind of break down everybody's misconceptions
about us as fighters and what our sport was all about.
What is the biggest misconception?
We were somehow all criminals and just wanted to beat people up.
I remember going into meetings, movie meetings and stuff like that because none of us were
really acting or doing any of that back then and there'd be that big, oh my God, you're
one of those cage fighters, like I might jump across the table and try and beat them up
or something.
Right.
Hell, my neighbor's a normal guy.
Right.
You're just a regular guy who can beat the fuck out of everyone.
Yeah.
What is that like walking into any room and just knowing I could kick anyone's ass?
You don't think like that though.
I would.
Did you walk into this room thinking that?
That means you're the beta.
Because we'll start clearing the furniture here or what?
Be honest.
Did you look at us?
Did you look at us and you're like, oh, I can take all these guys?
Well, listen, I got good health insurance.
All right.
You like ambulance rides.
How's yours?
How's yours?
Got to ask you that.
Okay.
Did that size us up?
As a fighter.
I sized you up.
Yeah.
I was like, I don't want to fight this guy.
I decided that right away.
Yeah.
Made that decision.
Like poke me in the eye with that ear.
Huh?
So you've been, you've finally a couple of different weight classes.
Is going up more fun than going down?
I started at heavyweight, came down to light heavyweight about halfway through my career
and then went back up to heavyweight and finished out at heavyweight.
I was a small heavyweight, so I had to be a little more diligent about how I approached
the bigger guys.
I didn't have to cut a lot of weight to make 205, so that wasn't really an issue for me
and fighting guys that were closer to my size was a lot nicer.
Yeah.
You know, we could just kind of let it hang out.
So what would you do when you had to fight a bigger guy?
Like what was your approach when a guy, you know, had maybe 40, 50 pounds on you?
Try to make those guys move as much as possible and make them work.
If I could get close to the distance and attach myself to them and make them work and hang
all over them and make them pommel and grapple and fight off the fence, then I felt like
things were going my way.
You want to stand around in front of a guy that's big and has power, you're probably
going to, I mean, one mistake and you're going to go to sleep.
So I always wonder this, what is more fun, knocking someone out or making someone tap?
I never had that one punch knockout.
I think the Tim Sylvia fight was probably the closest that came.
You know, I hit him in that first 25 seconds and he fell down.
I was surprised as everybody else in the arena.
I had a few submissions.
That's like checkmate.
Right.
You know, it's just kinetic chess.
We're going to play a chess match.
I like that, too.
I play kinetic checkers.
Yeah.
I just like give you a wedgie and that's checkmate.
What about the reverse getting, because like obviously when someone taps, there's the feeling
like, oh, they kind of quit, but obviously not quitting.
You're in a position you can't get out of.
We'll fight another day.
Right.
You know, you got to.
Were you ever in a spot where you thought you were about to tap and then you got out?
Like, oh man, I'm like, I'm out.
So how does that thought process go down where you're like, I need to tap at this moment?
You either feel yourself passing out or you feel your joint is about to get in.
And that's, that's when you recognize that you're probably not going to get out.
Jesus Christ.
Probably the closest for me was the Nogara fight when I fought Nogara and Portland.
He had me in a couple submission holds that a lot of people probably wouldn't have gotten
out of.
Right.
But I had done my homework.
You know, thanks to Neil Molanson, my ground coach at the time, we went through all the
different scenarios and countering and a bunch of things that we expected to see.
And, you know, he threw everything but the kitchen sink and I threw it all at him.
Have you ever gotten into a submission hold and thought, hey, I can get out of it and
then your joint pops?
The first time I lost in MMA was against Ensign Inouye and I got caught in an arm bar was,
you know, struggling, picking him up, trying to get out.
It felt like I was going to get out and then my arm started popping and had to tap.
Yeah.
It's a tough lesson to learn.
That sucks a lot.
I would probably rather tap people out.
I can arm bar you if you'd let me.
Oh, I have to let you.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know if I'd be able to.
I thought you said you could do it.
I can.
You can.
But I have to let you.
But I have to let you.
Yes.
I will arm bar you.
He's feeling not how that works.
Well, if you let me.
So you're obviously a great fighter, but maybe a better actor.
The expendable has changed a lot of people's lives.
Thank you.
That's a very nice thing to say.
Quite a franchise.
I don't get that a lot.
Who's the alpha on that set?
Because there are a lot.
Well, it definitely is Stallone.
It's Stallone's property.
There's nobody in the world that could have brought all those people together except
for Stallone.
And his, you know, he wrote the first one like so many of the properties he's a part
of.
It's it's definitely part of him and he sets the tone for everybody, uh, very, very smart
guy.
And I really enjoyed being around him and learning from him and working with him.
But all those guys are amazing guys.
Right.
They're they're fun to be around.
If there was a royal rumble between every member of the expendables who comes out.
Good question.
Who leaves that?
Well, I think I'm the only one.
Besides, if you want to count Rhonda Rousey in there, I think it would boil down to her
and I.
Okay.
As far as fighters, you know, real combative sports athletes, you know, all those guys
are great athletes.
Terry Crews amazing football player, you know, Steve Austin, Austin, go back 10 years and
I could absolutely see Austin competing for his knees when he loves the sport, Jason Statham.
He was a great diver, a great acrobat and Mars Lardis Jet Lee be the first one to tell
you, I'm a Mars Lardis.
I'm not a, you know, I'm not a fighter and, and, uh, is a Kyokushin karate guy and definitely
done a lot of sparring and a lot of your lucky Steven Seagal wasn't in this movie.
Yeah.
He kicked your ass.
He would.
He would for sure kick your ass.
Does that make you mad when, when like guys like us are like, Hey, Steven Seagal, kick
your ass.
John Claude.
You're laughing right now, but I feel like you're, I'm getting eyes from everyone like
yo, stop, stop poking, stop poking Randy here.
He's going to get upset, but seriously, see now that would be a fight worth coming out
of retirement.
Yes.
Oh, so are you challenging Steven Seagal to a fighter?
I already thrown that gauntlet down years ago and yeah, and he didn't accept the fight.
No.
Or maybe he just kicked your ass so fast you forgot about it.
Yeah.
He killed those brain cells.
Listen, I will get that fight on the cart and Steven Seagal, you've been called out.
We will, uh, Randy Couture over Steven Seagal, professional fighters.
I made an op-ended comment in front of a bunch of reporters, uh, and of course they were
often running with that.
What was it?
Well, we're not reporters.
So if I was to going to come out of retirement, if Steven Seagal would sign a contract, I
didn't know you had like beef with him.
I don't have a beef with him at all.
Well, now you do.
Yeah.
Oh, we're getting going.
Yeah.
You absolutely have beef with him.
Yeah.
I have no beef with him at all.
Worked with him once.
Yeah.
On what?
Uh, today you die.
I'm immediately going to go home and download it.
How many people died in that movie?
Oh gosh.
A lot.
At least one.
I'd imagine a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Steven Seagal didn't though.
Remember that.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Uh, what about Mickey Rourke though?
What's that?
What about Mickey Rourke?
He seems like a guy that's got his ass kicked a few times.
He knows how to handle a punch.
He's, uh, heavily into boxing, competed a lot in boxing and, uh, you know, knows his
way around the sport for sure in, uh, an amazingly talented actor.
Okay.
Yeah.
Actually, you're the alpha of that group then.
Yeah.
You and Rhonda Rousey are the alphas of the expendables.
I'd say so.
Um, all right.
I have a couple of last questions here.
The C-Key question, you put in promo code take you get $10 off your C-Key purchase.
You can probably go to the professional fighters league finale in Madison Square Garden.
That's right.
New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve.
That's awesome.
Uh, so my C-Key question is what, if you could change anything about the sport, uh, what
would you do?
How would you make it better for both the fighters and the people watching at home?
If I could change anything in the sport, I would amend the definition of a combative
sports athlete for the federal legislation and the Muhammad Ali act to include all combative
sports athletes, not just boxers.
Okay.
Not immediately separates the power in the promotion right now in MMA, the flawed in
our system is that the promoter and the sanctioning body are the same guy.
He's making his own titles and his own rankings.
He's manipulating the fighters and those rankings to suit him to make money.
Yup.
Uh, it's not a competitive sport.
Why shouldn't the heavyweight champion from Bellator be able to challenge and make the
heavyweight champion from the UFC fight and see who the real heavyweight champion is
in the world?
Yeah.
That's, that's a competitive marketplace.
That's why boxers make so much more money than mixed martial artists because we're in
an anti-competitive sport.
Every promotion out there, Bellator and the others create their own rankings and their
own titles and there's no crossover.
It's very exclusive.
So if I could change anything, I would organize and educate the fighters on that flaw in the
system and why we need to come together as fighters and create a fighters association.
A union.
Do you think that will happen?
Mixed martial arts fighters association.
We've been lobbying for those two things for the last couple of years.
Yeah.
The whole role trying to educate fighters on why we need to come together, why every
other professional sport out there has a player's association.
It's not really a union because we're, we're independent contractors or 1099s.
We're not, we're not employees and frankly, I don't want to be an employee.
I want to be able to represent myself in a free market.
I'd be able to make those big fights happen and I would get the lion's share of, of what
comes in from that event 60 to 70% of what comes in from a boxing event goes to the boxers
that fought on that card were about 13, maybe 17% of what comes in from an MMA event.
Yeah.
That's ridiculous.
That is ridiculous.
So if I was, had the ability to wave a magic wand and change something, that's what I would
change.
I like that.
I didn't even know that.
We're not going to have any nonmembers of the, was it the MM, MMAM?
MMAFA.
MMAFA.
Mixed martial arts fighters association.
We're not crossing the picket line.
We're going to hold that line for it.
You think what I'm thinking?
You know what I'm thinking?
The head of it?
Steven Seagal.
Now we're talking.
Hey.
He made a Bitcoin 2 jet.
I don't know if you invested, but it was quite a thing.
My last question.
A lot of people are asking, who is, who is the goat in your mind?
Man, it's such a tough, tough one to answer because there's so many guys that have been
amazing and for so many different reasons.
And then you start talking about weight classes.
I meant LeBron or MJ.
You talking about fighting?
No, no.
No, no.
Fighting.
Fighting.
Fighting.
Fighting.
LeBron or MJ.
That's funny.
What would your answer be there?
I think Michael George.
Yes.
Good answer.
All right.
Now you are qualified to answer who is the goat in fighting.
Man.
I mean, it's such a debatable thing, you know.
George St. Pierre.
George has got to be on the list, you know, to, you know, absolutely got to be on the
list.
Okay.
BJ Penn has got to be on there.
I like BJ Penn because he always kind of, he's kind of like Daniel Cormier.
We've got a little bit of a soft body, so it's like, hey, you don't even have to do
like crunches to be the baddest man on earth.
Psychological warfare.
Showing up to a fight fast.
I got to work with him a little bit.
He's a badass.
Yeah.
He's amazing.
Amazing athlete.
Absolutely.
What about the spider?
He's certainly in the conversation and it was dominant in that way class for quite a
while.
Yeah.
You know, I'm a big fan of Dan Henderson, one of the, one of the few guys that's, you
know, one championships in multiple weights as well.
And, and, uh, but I mean, we could start listing a whole bunch of them and they got to be in
the conversation.
And it's so hard to narrow that down to just tank up the guy now.
Probably not.
5000.
I thought I was going to see the first double heart attack.
Yeah.
That was maybe my favorite fight of all time.
Holy hell.
What is going on here?
Yeah.
And rest in peace, Kimbo Slice, but that fight was pure drama because both guys just falling
all over each other.
Yeah.
I noticed you didn't include yourself.
It's very humble of you.
Does that mean that you're actually the goat?
You have the most title fights of all time, right?
You are.
I think so.
I've heard that before, but I honestly don't know the, I believe so, I don't know the
stats.
Yeah.
Six heavyweight championship bout wins.
Is that also correct?
That's right.
I'm going to give it to you.
Yeah.
You're the goat.
You're the goat.
But John Jones is the goat if they didn't test for piss.
Yes.
Yeah.
It's between him and Brock Lesnar if they didn't ever test it for piss.
All right.
So if both those guys were on steroids, just as hot as could be, just loading toward all
up their buttholes or whatever, who wins?
You get them in a cage together.
I think probably John, his athleticism and length is going to pose a problem for Lesnar.
Yeah.
And Brock, as amazing athlete as he is and as big and strong as he is, he still hasn't
really made friends with getting punched in the face.
No.
And you've seen that in a couple of the instances where he just kind of changed his mind about
being out there after he started getting cracked.
Yeah.
Who's that dude with the huge hands that just beat the shit out of him?
Mark.
Was it Alistair?
Oh, no.
No.
Are you talking about the guy that got paid like $90,000 for the fight?
I think you're talking about the guy from Australia, Mark.
Mark Hunt?
Yeah, Mark Hunt.
I think he was the one who fought.
He had, Mark Hunt was another guy who didn't really want to get in shape.
But if he caught you with one, you were lights out.
Oh yeah.
And can take a shot like nobody's business too.
Yeah.
All right.
So Randy Couture, the goat.
Thank you very much.
Check out the professional fighters league.
We will put a link to it on our Twitter page and our Instagram.
And because we called you the goat, now let's do the arm bar portion so I can arm bar you.
Okay?
You ready?
We'll do that off air.
You ready for it?
All right.
I'm on.
Let's go.
Okay.
Thanks to Randy Couture.
We next up have our football guy of the week, Tyler Trenton, awesome, awesome interview
with him.
Before we get to that though, Buffalo Wild Wings.
There's no better place to watch football with friends than Buffalo Wild Wings.
All the games on wall to wall TVs come in for their $5 game day deals, $5 38 ounce pitchers,
a Bud Light, Coors Light or Miller Light, $5 cheeseburger and fries, $5 brat and fries
and $5 select cocktails.
PFT, what's your favorite part of Buffalo Wild Wings?
Because you love it the most.
Well, it's the wings, the beer and the sports is what I like.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
We actually going to be at Buffalo Wild Wings in Baton Rouge.
I'm really excited about that.
I'm really excited about that.
We'll give you more details later, which one we'll be at, what time we'll be there,
it will be Saturday before the LSU Bama game.
We'll be there because we love watching football at Buffalo Wild Wings.
$5 cocktails include Bloody Marys, Long Island Ice Teas and Mamosas.
Traditional and bonus wings with 21 signature sauces and seasonings.
Just a little tip for you guys, the mini corn dogs.
I've told you this tip before, but it's my favorite little off menu on menu deal at Buffalo
Wild Wings.
It is on the menu, but I like to pretend it's off the menu because when you order it, the
waiter or waitress is like, this guy, he knows what he's doing here at Buffalo Wild
Wings.
So check it out.
It's the $5 game deal, day deals.
You can go watch football, $5 for your cheeseburger, $5 for your beer.
It's all there.
Price and participation vary, subject to restrictions, limited time only, Buffalo Wild Wings.
We love you.
Okay.
Here he is.
Football guy of the week, Tyler Trent.
And now for something completely different.
Okay.
We now welcome on football guy of the week, Tyler Trent.
You've probably seen this story.
It is why we watch sports.
It is an incredible story.
Tyler, it was a student at Purdue.
He has been battling cancer, fighting courageously against cancer.
He had to withdraw from school for this semester to take care of his health, but he was able
to go to the Purdue Ohio State game.
He guaranteed victory like Joe Namath.
And let's start there, Tyler.
You are the football guy of the week.
I want to just say thank you because I don't think you realize you single-handedly beat
Urban Meyer.
Do you realize that?
I don't know.
I don't think that's fully, anything I've fully realized yet.
That's for sure.
Okay.
That's a football guy answer, by the way.
It is.
Giving credit to others.
But trust us, you personally beat Urban Meyer and we certainly appreciate that.
I saw that you were brought into the locker room.
Did you address the team pre-game?
I did not.
No.
I jokingly told Brown that if he needed me, Joe, I would, but he never called me up on
that one just afterwards.
So what's the last week and a half been like?
Because you've been on a whirlwind.
I feel like I've seen you everywhere and it's been such a great story.
It's like one of those stories that, like I said, you watch sports for these type of
stories.
What's it been?
Have you had a second to kind of look back and be like, man, I'm doing good morning America.
Scott Van Pelt, pardon my take, not the brag.
Have you had a second to kind of take it all in?
Not yet.
I don't think so.
I think this weekend, you know, across my fingers, things will slow down and I'll be
able to, you know, take some time to kind of look back and reflect on things.
But yeah, you're right.
I think there's definitely been a whirlwind.
That's for sure.
Yeah.
And definitely not anything I ever expected reaction-wise or fame-wise, I guess you could
say, from a national media perspective.
I saw that you got to, you hung out with Tom Renaldi a little bit from Game Day and he
is famous for just making everybody in America emotional no matter what the subject is.
My question is, were you able to turn the tables on him and make Tom Renaldi cry?
No, I don't think I ever did make Tom cry.
There were definitely moments which I'm sure you could tell from the piece where I was
crying and Tom was there for sure.
But Tom's a great guy and I am just super thankful for the time I've been able to
spend with him and just the work that he's done in the sports world and just with telling
people stories because like he said, he's an amazing storyteller and is known for doing
some amazing pieces and has done some amazing pieces in the past.
I've always wondered, does he have the piano music that just follows him around wherever
he goes?
Does he have like a speaker in his pocket that just plays when he walks into a room?
He would think, but no, he does not.
Okay, interesting.
So I did see that after the game, a number of famous Purdue alumni reached out to you.
I saw Ryan Kerrigan said something at the podium and several others.
Who's the coolest person that has been in touch with you or shouted you out?
You know, I think it has to be Drew Brees.
He sent me a video after the game and so Drew is just, you know, if you know Purdue, you
know Drew Brees.
And he's someone that I have looked up to pretty much my entire life as just an example
of what a hardworking guy should be and kind of just the, I think in my mind, he is just
the perfect example of what a boiler maker should be and so just kind of receiving just
encouragement from him is just incredible and something I'm just super thankful for.
I got to ask you a very important question.
Has Kyle Orton been in touch?
Kyle Orton has not been in touch yet.
All right.
Well, what we can do, so occasionally on the show, we like to use our, I don't want to
use the word cyberbullying, but our cyber influence for good, we're going to try to get in touch
with Kyle Orton for you because honestly, like that's probably a higher honor than Drew
Brees.
Right.
And also don't be offended if we like kind of, we get in touch with Kyle Orton and then
we do an interview with him and forget to bring you up because he's like a hero.
I don't be offended at all.
No, we'll get to work on Kyle Orton for sure.
Because you are the football guy of the week and it is a big honor.
We have to ask a couple of football questions.
What is your favorite?
Who's your favorite football player of all time?
Not named Drew Brees.
And also, what is your favorite football play?
My favorite football play has to be Spire 2Y Banana.
Yeah, football.
Hell yes.
And I have to go with Peyton Manning as my second favorite football player.
OK, all right, that's fair.
Second favorite behind Drew Brees.
Yes.
Yes. OK, so just like the passing statistics.
So like a week and a half ago, did you like Peyton before Drew passed him on the list?
No. OK, good.
Not a front runner.
I like that.
That's a good list, though.
Peyton Manning or Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, then Kyle Orton.
That's a solid list you got there.
Yeah, I mean, if you grew up in Indiana and you're not fan of Peyton Manning,
it's almost a 10, honestly.
Yeah.
Hey, do you actually have any inside word on how Andrew Luck's shoulder's doing?
As far as I know, he's fine right now.
OK, all right.
We're going to credit you there for sourcing.
Yeah, I can't guarantee you the help of Adam Minatteri right now.
But yeah, it's got that grind on the tickler.
Yeah, so we'll we'll we'll see if he's
able to kind of come back from Andrew that he suffered on Sunday.
But as far as I know, Andrew's totally fine.
OK, good. We're going to write that down.
It isn't really saying much, I'll be honest.
No, no, no, trust me, we're taking this as your gospel from you.
You're a man on the street in Indiana, so you have the source.
At what point during the game on Saturday, where you're like,
holy crap, we're actually going to do this?
I think in typical Purdue fashion and when the clock
I saw the clock finally hit zero and I saw the final score.
Because, you know, growing up a Purdue fan,
unfortunately, you kind of not grow up disappointed of sports, I would say,
but you kind of learn not quote unquote the Purdue way.
You know, Purdue has not been known as a powerhouse football
wise since since Drew Drew Brees was that Purdue.
So, you know, we had a pretty rough, rough patch
Yeah, before Brom came to Purdue.
And so I think I was, you know, I didn't start breathing again
until the clock hit zero.
And that's when I kind of the release came over me.
And I finally realized that Purdue had upset the number two team in the country.
Now, I've said, you know, I went to Wisconsin,
I've said some things about West Lafayette over the years,
had some fun, you know, ribbing back and forth.
And I'd like to tell you, Tyler, that I'm not going to apologize for anything.
And as a football guy, you should accept my non-apology.
That's totally OK with me.
Yes. I understand the hate of West Lafayette
and kind of understand why people don't like it
and may not be necessarily attracted to it at first glance.
So it definitely, it's rough around the edges and needs some loving.
It's got some loving.
And also, I will say something.
I'm going to say something nice about West Lafayette.
Cowartin, hero of mine.
Jeff Brom, maybe the ultimate football guy.
So there is a small part of me that's like kind of rooting for Purdue now
because I do love Jeff Brom.
Oh, well, that's that's awesome.
That's always something I can get behind for sure.
Yeah, when you say it's rough around the edges, all I hear is it's gritty.
It's a great town for gritty people.
And I'm looking at the Big Ten West right now.
That might be the conference of football guys out there leading teams.
You got Fitzgerald, you got Chris, you got Brom, you've got PJ Fleck
and you've got Scott Frost and Lovey Smith.
Yes, all in the same conference.
The Big Ten West. Lovey's rocking that beard right now.
Yes, yes, it's fantastic.
It's wonderful.
I couldn't tell if there was snow stuck in it or if he just grew a white beard.
I think it's just a white beard.
It does look great.
Who would be the runner up for football guy of the Big Ten West
in your opinion?
Um, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't want to have to go in Lovey just for the beard alone.
Yeah.
I was very impressed by the beard when I saw it a couple of weeks ago
in Purdue was playing, playing Illinois.
Yeah, the beard and the snow really popped.
Well, and also Lovey doesn't care about offense.
He only cares about defense.
So that's his football guy as it gets.
What was Coach Brom like when you were interacting with him?
Is he a cool guy?
He is.
He's a fantastic guy.
Um, you know, the guy he comes across as is exactly the guy he is.
Um, and that's something I really appreciate about him.
Jeff's a great guy.
I'm just super thankful Purdue has him and honestly kind of worried
that we're going to lose him too quickly.
Yeah, I think he'll stay for a little bit.
I see what you're saying, but I think he'll stay for a while.
Um, so Tyler, we appreciate you joining us.
You are football guy of the week.
Um, we also want to, you know,
we wanted to just talk football with you because you're football guy of the week.
But if you could, uh, let everyone know how we can either help donations,
whatever we can do to help in your fight against cancer or cancer in general.
And also how, how are you doing right now?
And, uh, you know, how's everything going?
So the way that people can help is there is a link in my Twitter bio
and that goes directly towards a donation page, uh, for Riley Children's Hospital,
which is where I have received treatment the last four years of my life.
And, uh, basically the hospital that has, uh, kept me alive for the last four years.
And I wouldn't be able to sit here and talk to you today, uh,
without the research that they've done and the work that they've done.
And they're, you know, they'll continue to save thousands of kids lives every year.
Um, and so a hundred percent of the proceeds that are donated through that link go directly
towards their PDX Cancer Research Center.
Um, and so, you know, I think if people were able to go and donate through that link,
that'd be fantastic.
Yeah, agree.
So yeah, we're going to go on the basis of my health.
You know, I'm doing about as well as one can, um, you know,
it's hard for me to complain every day to a blessing, um, for me, um,
and, uh, you know, I'm not doing chemotherapy or any treatment right now.
And, um, I'm thankful to all the, the Facebook robots who think that they had the cure to cancer,
but unfortunately, uh, they don't, um, they think I've received a lot of messages
since, uh, my game day piece went wild.
And, you know, I think there are definitely Facebook, you know, I think you what I'm saying,
you know, some, you know, all those crazy people on Facebook who think, you know,
a part of the MLMs to have the cure to cancer.
And so I'm really thankful for all their crazy messages, but I'd appreciate if they,
they calm down a little bit.
Um, but yeah, no, so I'm doing, it's hard for me to complain.
You know, when you wake up every day, um, alive, uh, because you don't know if you're going to have
tomorrow, um, it's definitely kind of as a blessing for sure.
Yeah. So, so let that be a lesson to everybody as central oils and uh, spoonfuls of coconut oil,
wolf's cyber bully, those fuckers.
Yeah. It turns out that's not what helps people with cancer and families with
cancer. What really helps is donating.
And I think the reality is like, if you haven't experienced it, if nobody in your immediate
family has, uh, guess what?
Somebody will that's close to you at some point in your life.
And, uh, there's actually a way that you can like fight it before it happens and maybe
prevent some of this stuff and maybe save somebody's life.
And that's by donating to causes like Tyler's.
So, uh, we're going to tweet out that link in your bio and we're going to hope that we can
raise a little bit of money for you.
Okay.
Well, I appreciate that.
Thank you guys.
Yeah. Thank you.
And congrats again on football guy of the week.
It is probably, uh, the most prestigious honors that is awarded to anyone from a podcast
that, that they just totally made up the honor.
Yeah. But hey, I'm, look, I'm looking at the standings right now.
Purdue does have a chance to win the big 10.
Okay. Slow down.
So don't, don't pay.
Purdue is my team.
Don't do not do that.
PFT.
I am now officially a boiler maker.
That's gross.
Tyler, thanks so much, man.
And hopefully we'll talk soon.
Sounds good.
Thank you guys.
Take care, man.
All the best.
Good luck.
All right.
That interview with Tyler Trent was brought to you guys by me on these.
We're going to do some more picks while we do this ad big cat.
What game do we have coming up?
Oh, Packers and Rams.
That's going to be a good one.
That's definitely not a lot of defense being playing that game.
So let me talk to you guys about me on these ball.
Larry makes his pick.
He doesn't wear underwear, but if he did, he would absolutely rock me on these.
They're the most comfortable pair of underwear I've ever put on in my life.
That's no joke.
That is 100% legit.
I love them.
And guess what?
They've got some more stuff too.
They've got lounge pants that are made from the same micromodal fabric as the undies.
And they are fall heaven when you cover your entire bottom half of the fabric.
That's three times softer than cotton.
They also love celebrating the fall season.
They're just the Rams.
He's got the Rams.
All right.
He loves golf.
He's a little golf fish.
Me undies also love celebrating the fall season with fun Halloween prints.
Check out their latest Jack O'Lanterns print in undies, socks, and brawlets.
Ooh, that sounds cool.
I don't know what it is, but I'm definitely going to get at least one pair.
We were just asked today, hey, you've got a new shipment of me undies coming.
Do you want them to be regular, bold, or exotic?
Guess which one I picked?
Exotic.
Big Cat, which one did you take?
I think I went bold.
No, you went exotic too.
Oh, I did.
We both went bold on, oh, I went bold on the socks.
I went regular.
Your basic pitch when it comes to the socks.
But the undies, that's the bread and butter.
And I love them.
It's always a good dick day in me undies.
They have 100% satisfaction guarantee.
You're going to love them, but if you're not into it,
me undies will do whatever they can to get you into the right pair.
And if they can't keep them, and they're going to refund you.
So it's really risk-free to try the best underwear ever.
And best of all, they have a great offer for our listeners.
For any first-time purchasers, when you purchase any me undies,
you're going to get 15% off and free shipping.
It's a no-brainer.
Get 15% off a pair of the most comfortable undies
you will ever put on to get 15% off your first pair of free shipping.
And their 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Go to meundies.com slash take.
That's meundies.com slash take.
The interview is also brought to you by Moves and the Saints.
And we've got the Vikings and the Saints.
Larry's going to be picking these.
And yeah, that's going to be actually a really good game.
That's a Sunday nighter.
I'm going to be tuned in.
Rematch at the NFC Championship game.
But while he's making the pick, I want to talk to you guys about movement or MVMT.
You know, it's the company that was found by those two college dropouts that started
their own watch company.
And the company's grown like crazy.
And now with almost 2 million watches sold in 160 countries,
they continue to revolutionize fashion on the belief that style should not break the bank.
I don't know if you checked out the site recently,
but they've doubled the number of watch styles and they're still expanding.
Larry went with the Saints.
He took the Saints.
All right.
Movement has come far from being crowd-funded kids working out of a living room.
In the past year, they've not only introduced a ton of new watch collections for both men
and women, but also expanded sunglasses and fashion forward bracelets for her.
I love movement watches.
I put it on all the time.
People are like, yo, was that a $3,000, $5,000 watch?
Nope, not hardly.
It's actually very, very affordable.
They started just $95 bucks.
At a department store, you're looking at $400 to $500 bucks for those.
Movement figured out that by selling online, they're able to cut out the middleman
and retail markup providing the best possible price.
They're a classic design.
They've got quality construction and styled minimalism.
And you can get 15% off today with free shipping and free returns by going to mvmt.com slash
pardon.
That's mvmt.com slash pardon.
Join the movement.
And Larry's got another pick.
But if you want to know what that is, tune in to Barstool Sports Advisors at 10 o'clock
on TVG.
Where else can they find it?
In Philly, in Boston.
Fandal app.
Fandal app.
On the Barstool Sports app at 10 30.
Yep.
It's going to be put up online.
And we do a special spooky Halloween pick with Larry the Gambling Goldfish.
And he's going to tell you who to take in the Colts Raiders game.
Talk about your acting, big cat.
Tell him about your performance.
You want to do this?
So it was just, it was a tour de force on all fronts.
I was going for an Oscar.
You be the judge.
We got to a point where Hank was, Hank asked me to, there was a point in the script where
I had to say no.
And Hank was trying to over direct me.
And I said, you know what, Hank, I'm going to give you five no's right now.
You can pick it.
And I just hammered him.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Nope.
No.
You know what?
You shouldn't have to say no five times.
No.
One should be enough.
But Hank, that's what Hank does.
Hank doesn't understand that.
Yeah.
He still has a lot to learn about that.
Very, very, very problematic.
Very problematic.
No.
For shame.
No, Hank.
Now that I'm thinking about it, Larry has done a song.
He's been in several feature films.
He's, I think all we need to do is get Larry in some sort of like show tune or stage play.
And then he'll be up for an egot.
I was going to say that it'll be Will Smith.
Get all of them.
Just does it all.
Collect them all.
Like the rock.
Yeah.
Welcome to, well, more like Will Smith.
Rock doesn't, rock doesn't have bars like Will Smith.
Have you not heard the song with the refugee all stars?
It doesn't matter.
I got 50 Bentley's in the West Indies.
It doesn't matter.
Welcome to Miami.
Bienvenido.
I think you need to study up on your feet.
On your, on your street to the day.
Yeah.
You're just, you know what you are?
To the night is done.
You're, you're pros here is what you are.
What?
You hate pros.
What?
And the refugee all stars.
The rock, Will Smith also has like his jeans passed down to very successful people.
True.
True.
Jaden Smith, that kid like makes you think on Twitter.
Wait, is Hank saying that, is Hank saying that the rocks offspring aren't going to be genetic freaks?
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, who knows?
Yeah, probably not.
No, I feel, no, I feel like, I feel like a guy like the rock, he'll have a kid and it'll be,
you know, he'll be kind of a puny kid just because like world has to, water finds its level.
Bad ass and a skip to generation.
Yeah, right.
Will Smith, he just has a kid that tweets out super deep things that are not like,
do you ever think about how much water is in the world?
Whoa.
At Jaden Smith.
Okay, let's get to some segments.
First up, we had to bring it up the World Series.
Yes, it is still going on.
Yes, the Red Sox are going to win.
Hank, you were game two.
I was.
It was delightful.
It was great.
It was great.
This has been a shit kicking.
The Red Sox.
David Price, he was due.
Their situational hitting.
And now Chris Sayles due.
Yeah, their situational hitting is insane.
They just, every time they get a guy on running in scoring positions,
it's like, okay, we'll just get a single to the opposite field.
What was it like there, Hank?
It was loud.
It was, it was fun.
It was a great time.
That was awesome.
Did you see, did you see Trump's wall hat tip, Peter Gammons?
No, but I did.
Did you guys see that they didn't invite Kurt Schilling
because of his political views?
Oh, really?
Kind of fucked up.
Did they do like a Legend of the Red Sox?
2004, they had all the big players from 2004.
Oh, wow.
And they didn't ask Kurt Schilling.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Oh, wow.
Interesting.
Kind of fucked.
Interesting.
So he was too busy doing his like web radio show
that he does every week.
Well, he was investigating who, who did the mail bombs.
That's true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was a big day.
So David Price, does David Price have the clutch gene?
That is the question.
That is the segment.
And I'm going to say yes.
He does.
When it matters the most.
He has, Hank is right.
In the ALCS in the World Series, you ready for this PFT?
He has a 2.72 ERA.
So essentially, he just can't be bothered
with the first round of the playoffs.
That's fine.
I like that.
Yeah.
I like that a lot.
That's the definition of the clutch gene.
So when the spotlight is highest on him, he's very good.
We know what he's done.
He's evolved the clutch gene.
He's like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.
You know, they're all born women.
Never seen it.
Life finds a way.
And some of them evolve into males.
Basically, he spontaneously just dropped a pair of testicles.
He's like, guess what?
Clutch gene, let's go.
I didn't know that's what happened.
Yeah.
So Hank, here's a little fun fact.
I didn't see it.
So you know how you all laugh at me when I tell you
that if you put tap water in like douse a frog in it,
it'll turn the frog gay?
Well, actually frogs can change from female to male
if they're around just only chicks all the time.
Gender is a spectrum.
Yeah.
So that they can reproduce.
Life finds a way.
Got it.
Chaos.
So very similar with the World Series?
It means that David Price has the clutch gene now.
OK.
Because he evolved it.
He does he wear a mouth guard?
No.
I thought he had a mouth guard in the other night.
Did he?
Did you see that, Bubba?
He has like an orange thing in his mouth.
Maybe it was an orange peel.
Fucking crazy.
No.
I did get a hot tip a couple of weeks ago.
I think he does.
You guys tell me if this sounds like bullshit.
Sounded legit to me, but I don't know.
The tip was that you know how a lot of pictures
came down with hand, foot, and mouth disease?
A lot of ballplayers did.
He wears a mouth guard.
He does.
I'm just searching.
While he's pitching?
Yes.
That's the softest move I've ever heard.
He does.
He wears a mouth guard.
OK.
I got a rescinded clutch gene.
OK.
But anyway, so I heard that a lot of pictures
were coming down with hand, foot, and mouth disease
because Major League Baseball was cracking down
on illegal pine tar that pictures were using.
And so instead, they started to use horse poop on their arms.
And they would just like.
That's definitely not true.
Where'd you read this?
It was an unsolicited direct message.
You just made this up.
No, it was a hot tip coming in.
Oh, if we're on unsolicited direct messages,
I got a hot tip this past week.
Urban Meyer is going to be the next coach of the Packers.
Oh.
Yeah.
Bob Stoops is going to be the next coach
of the Browns of the Ohio State.
I have heard that.
And I think that there is some creative.
Some great hot tips.
Bob Stoops actually bought a house in Columbus last week.
Our wife was searching for a house.
We're still waiting for him to be the coach of the Bears
because he has like six houses in Chicago.
Hank, are you looking it up?
He wears a mouth guard.
Yes.
Hank, come on.
Come on, Hank.
Confirmed.
That's disgusting.
Let's see.
We had a.
It's bought a row, though.
Like.
That's even weirder.
Well, I think it's something about grinding your teeth.
Yeah, it's grinding your teeth.
But I noticed it.
And I was like, you know what?
We make fun of Steph Curry.
Why not David Price?
Well, at least he doesn't show it off.
No, he doesn't.
Well, he does a little, but he doesn't.
Whatever.
He's got the clutch gene now.
It's crazy.
It's insane.
We have a just stop talking to John Gruden,
but it's actually a fact check, John Gruden.
So would you say that he's worth all the money
that they paid him if he gets another win this World Series?
More.
This is what you pay your players for.
Flags fly forever.
Yep.
So yeah, I was I was going to say no,
but then I thought I remembered flags fly forever.
Yep.
So whenever you but whenever you any money you spend
on any guy who is on a championship roster,
Jason Hayward flags fly forever.
That's how it works.
So we had a just stop talking to John Gruden.
Some guy tweeted out that John Gruden said,
I don't even know if the Amari Cooper trade is official yet
on the same day that Amari Cooper was practicing for the Cowboys.
So it went semi viral.
Everyone's like, haha, John Gruden, myself included.
Turns out this guy used a quote from Monday
and tweeted it on Tuesday and he should be in jail.
He should.
Is this the same guy that wrote the headline
of Denver Broncos cocaine party?
Yeah, they should be in jail.
That is false information.
You can't do that.
You can't put quotes out like a day later and expect us to know.
But he actually makes somewhat of a good point
that you can't actually finalize the trade
until like five years later
when we can debate who won the trade.
True.
So really, Sam Bradford has not been traded.
The trade hasn't been finalized from the Eagles
to the Vikings yet because we're still not sure who won yet.
Or the Rams to the Eagles.
Or from the Vikings to the Cardinals.
Yeah, there's a lot that we have to figure out with Sam Bradford.
So who won Sam Bradford's career?
Sam Bradford.
Yes, it was actually a very easy answer.
Very, very easy answer.
Sam Bradford's, yeah, his agent.
Okay, next up we had a Jimmy Butler update.
PFT, how many, if you were going to trade a top 15 guy,
how many first round picks would you offer?
I think it's got to be worth at least seven.
Yeah, okay.
So you know the answer.
The Rockets are reportedly Wojbaum offering four first round picks
for Jimmy Butler, which is insane.
I guess they assume that they can resign him
because I'm pretty sure he's a free agent after this year.
So that's an insane contract.
Also, I mean, the Rockets first round picks
aren't going to be high first round picks.
No, well, they're 0-1-3.
Oh, okay.
So if the season ended today, they would be in last.
Yeah, they're on pace for zero wins this year.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah, I mean, that's, I think it's not a bad move
because you're that close to competing against the Warriors.
Maybe.
The Rockets are 1-3?
The Rockets are 1-3.
They beat the Lakers.
The Rockets are 1-2.
The Rockets are 1-2.
I stand corrected.
The Rockets are 1-2.
Who's a bigger fraud?
Chris James Harden tweaked his hamstring.
Is that true?
That is true.
Chris Paul, worst teammate in the league.
What?
No, we don't know that.
Says who?
Says all of his former teammates.
Says one former teammate.
Yeah.
And Ryan Hollins.
Ryan Hollins and Glenn Davis,
two of the best basketball players of all time.
Wouldn't Delante West be the worst player in the league,
worst teammate in the league?
No, he's a good teammate.
He got in his opponent's head.
Member, member, member.
I think it's actually a good teammate move.
What?
To satisfy your mother?
That way she's not like calling and complaining to you
and distracting you on game day.
I guess that's true.
You can spin it any way you want.
Okay, we have...
He handles all the ticket requests,
so you don't have to.
Yeah, exactly.
Drunk idea.
You have a drunk idea?
I do have a drunk idea, yes.
My drunk idea is Uber, but for lottery tickets.
Okay.
So I meant to play the lottery,
probably like the last four drawings.
I only did the last two.
So there were two that I didn't play
just because I didn't feel like
leaving my apartment going on again.
And that's not something that you can like seamless.
Yeah.
You can't postmates that.
Yeah.
You have to have...
There needs to be a dedicated, a cash-only business
that is somebody that will front the money at the store
and then give you the tickets.
Why wouldn't they just put it a whole thing online?
And you should put in a credit card.
You know what they really should do?
That's what they should do.
Like 50-50 raffles are now going online.
Because you can't buy lottery tickets with a credit card.
But they...
You might not have to pay.
You should have to do that.
You should be able to do that.
Or debit card.
A debit card would work.
Or the cash app.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Venmo's somebody.
No.
Cash app.
You know what?
Can you imagine how much money the lottery would make
if they somehow just made an app that you can with one click...
Excuse me.
Buy lottery tickets?
Yes.
It would be insane.
It'd be ridiculous.
I would buy so many lottery tickets.
Yeah.
So that's my drunk idea.
If you're an entrepreneur, I suggest you develop it
and then give me some share of the winnings.
So just basically put the lottery online.
You know what I would do?
Is if I were the guy that bought people lottery tickets...
I don't understand how Uber comes into play here.
Well, just like somebody that'll go to the store for you by the...
So it's Postmates.
Postmates.
Yeah.
But be careful.
Dude, in Silicon Valley, if you want to sell something,
you want to raise finances.
It's the Twitter for the lottery.
It's either Tinder, But 4, or Uber, But 4.
So in this case, it's Uber, But 4.
Got it.
But I just now realized a hole in my perfect plan.
That it has nothing to do with Uber?
If it were me...
No, that's part of the perfect plan.
If it were me and I just bought somebody
30 bucks worth of lottery tickets,
and I just looked at them on my way to that person's house,
I'd be like, I'm just going to keep these lottery tickets.
Yeah, right.
Because what if this one is a winner?
Right.
Imagine what a sucker you'd feel like
if you delivered the winning lottery ticket.
Well, you're...
The Postmate, it should be...
That should be the tip.
You get...
If the lottery ticket is a winner,
then people would go and buy them all the time.
Yeah, that's true.
For you.
So that's the service.
That's really what it is.
And also, I'm pretty sure that this is exclusive to like
really lazy 30-year-old dudes living in New York City.
Yeah, but there are a lot of us.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I'm just thinking of like the guy who won the lottery.
There's a lot of people who just play the lottery every day
on the way home from work to get gas and stuff.
Right.
But there are a lot of lazy people out there.
Yes.
Let's capitalize on that.
That's the problems.
You don't get gas.
Mm-hmm.
So let's do Hank's grab bag.
Finish off the week, by the way.
I was informed today.
Terrible news.
Vern Troyer has passed away.
I did not know that until today.
Several months ago.
I really fucked up that you guys told me that today.
Died well.
Josie died, too.
Put the guy from Kid Rock.
How long ago did Vern Troyer die?
It was recent.
This year.
Yeah, it was recent.
It's just fucked up to just lay that on me.
His little liver couldn't handle it.
Yeah.
Man.
OK.
This is real life superstar.
This is actually a guy's on chick left over from Wednesday.
It'd be pretty funny if a giant Scottish person actually ate him,
wouldn't it?
Yeah, that would be funny.
Yeah.
Jonah in the whale situation.
Then he comes out and he's still alive.
Fat bastard.
Yeah.
No, but I'm saying it would be like Jonah in the whale,
so then he comes out and he's still alive.
Yeah.
Hey, Vern Troyer is not actually dead.
Uh-huh.
So if I like the feeling of my boyfriend sucking on my nipples,
and women breastfeed by letting babies suck on their nipples,
does this mean I like the feeling of breastfeeding?
And if I do, does this make me a pedophile?
I think that women, yeah, you will.
Women like that because it's in their genetics to enjoy breastfeeding.
It feels good.
It feels like you're procreating.
Anything associated with sex or giving birth,
you're just going to feel great doing it.
Okay, I got to be honest, I didn't listen to the question
because Barstool Carl got a dog.
Oh, okay.
And he named it Scotty Pippin.
Look how good this dog is.
That's a good dog.
That's a pretty cute dog.
Yeah, sorry.
Reminds, I used to sell used dogs back in the day,
and I sold a used dog one time named Skye,
and she looked just like that.
Yeah, that's a good dog.
Great dog.
So Big Cat, you're really the nipple expert here.
If we're going with size over quantity,
yeah, why does it feel good to breastfeed?
Or do you think it does feel good to breastfeed
if you're a woman?
Yeah, I think it definitely does.
Probably.
Well, it's also, I think there's two feelings you get.
Pleasure and also a relief of pain.
Like a cow's full udders, you know?
Yeah.
Not saying that that's what a udder is.
Yeah, that's not what I'm saying.
We're not saying you're a cow.
No, you look beautiful.
Strike that from the record.
You look beautiful.
You get what I'm saying.
The rest of these are PMT FAQs,
so a little behind the scenes sausage making.
Do you guys ever pay guests to come on?
No.
No.
In fact, the only guest?
Well, JJ, what?
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, we did.
Yeah, we paid him.
Well, we paid his charity, which probably goes directly to him.
Yes.
No, we don't.
Probably not.
We do not.
But the one guest that we had that asked for a check
to come on the show, you will not
be shocked to find out it was Pete Rose.
Yes.
And we said no.
I feel like close I can say go also might ask for some money.
He probably did, yeah.
So no, we do not pay.
We will not pay.
That's a big J, no, no.
But if you have something you want to promote,
just tell us and we'll fucking shamelessly promote
the fuck out of it.
I mean, if it's if you're a really big guest, we'll pay you.
Oh, yeah.
I'd pay.
Yes.
Aaron Rodgers, I'll pay you with the tip of my pinky.
Rick Pettino, I'll get you a $20 gift card to Olive Garden.
Yes.
How much warming up do you guys do with guests
before actually recording?
Did you have to do more of this early on
when the show was not as well known slash popular?
Mm, good question, Hank.
I'd say early on.
I'll take credit for it.
Thank you.
Good question, Hank.
Thank you.
Early on, the guests that we didn't know
that came on the show, it was via Skype,
so they couldn't see either one of us.
Mm-hmm.
A little fun fact about that.
We didn't know.
Well, they could see us over the over the video,
but they weren't in the same room as us.
So it's kind of hard to like butter somebody up that way.
But what we didn't know for a long time was they could see
video of me and Big Cat in our respective houses.
So I mean, Big Cat used to point at each other
when it was the other person's turn to ask a question.
Yes.
And it wasn't until like 20 interviews in that we found out
that the people could see us just like pointing directly
at the screen.
They're like, why are you pointing at me like that?
Actually, I forgot how much that sucked.
We couldn't do any phone calls.
But no, for warming up, I'd say it depends on the case.
Like a lot of times it's someone who is aware,
the PR person has made him aware, or it's someone that we know.
Usually there's probably, I don't know,
a couple minutes here and there on the phone or in person
where we're just shooting the shit.
See if we can get them to say anything explosive
that then we can blackmail them with later.
Just kidding.
Just kidding.
All future guests, just kidding.
I feel like you usually too talk about mutual connections you have.
Yeah, I got one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get this guy on.
This guy's our boy.
That sort of thing.
We do a lot of that.
What shows have you been on this week?
Oh, that show sucks.
Sorry you had to sit through that.
Hopefully we'll ask you some questions they didn't ask you.
Right.
I usually go like, hey, we're a lot funnier than everyone else.
We're going to ask you some crazy questions.
But we do, if we have a football coach or someone,
we try to impress them being like,
hey, we were with the strength coach down in Louisiana.
He said he knew you.
It's like, oh, usually they don't give a fuck,
but they pretend they basically sit there and they're like,
oh, these guys are kind of lame.
I like to talk about my high school football career.
That usually resonates pretty well.
We actually, Von Miller, when he came in,
I was like, hey, can I get you some water or anything?
He's like, do you have any cognac?
And I was like, as a matter of fact, I do.
And so I drank a little glass of cognac from Von Miller.
Why are you guys so mean to Ravel?
New listeners need a recap of the beef.
Okay, this is complicated.
It is very complicated.
And we both have history.
Our own personal history.
You want to go first?
I'm actually not that mean to Ravel.
I'm at a point, Ravel and I had used to have a rivalry.
I beat him 11-0 in basketball.
He then, it was actually the best thing
he's ever done for his career.
No joke, because basically all the Stoolies were like,
Ravel's not that bad.
But I'm at the point now where Ravel, look, he needs me.
He needs me.
And he needs me because when I interact with him,
everyone's like, oh, Ravel, oh, he murdered Big Cat.
I like Ravel.
I think he's a little bit of a dweeb,
but he's harmless and he's a nice guy.
That was, that felt dirty saying that.
Yeah.
Also fucking, I take everything back
that I just said if Northwestern beats Wisconsin
this weekend.
Okay, that's fair.
I hate Ravel or I hated Ravel.
I don't, I wouldn't say I hate him anymore,
but I hated him because at one point,
when I was writing at a website
called Kissing Susie Kober back in like 2013,
he narked on one of my readers.
One of my readers made a joke about him on Twitter.
And then Darren went into this guy's profile.
Hitler joke.
Well, so it was making fun of Darren Ravel
for loving logos so much and saying like,
if you were a business reporter in 1930s Germany,
you would have said that this was just
an example of great branding.
It was making fun of Ravel.
And Ravel didn't like that very much
and reported him to his professor
at Michigan University.
Fast forward a couple years,
that guy, Dr. Neil Muhammad, actually ran for,
I believe it was for the House of Representatives in Illinois.
And I think he came in second place,
which is pretty cool.
So check him out if you live in Illinois.
And so ever since then, I've been like,
fuck you Ravel, you're a nark.
And then in the last like years,
so I've kind of, things have thawed
between Ravel and I a little bit and we haven't.
You used to really hate him.
Even like a year ago, I was like,
let's get him on.
You're like, no.
Because like, for example,
if a listener of part of my take.
You got triggered.
Well, if Ravel went after one of our listeners
and tried to get them kicked out of school,
I would like to think that me and you
would stand up for our listeners.
I would just be like, Ravel, you're a fucking loser.
So I held a grudge, but me and Ravel,
I think we're on okay terms now.
Okay.
Last two.
Who is the number one on your list of people
you want to interview but haven't yet?
Aaron Rodgers.
He'd be good.
Cubes.
It's interesting that you say Aaron Rodgers
because you just hate him so much.
Yeah, I want it.
Oh, Kevin Durant, actually.
I want to call him a baby back bitch to his face.
I feel like both of them know you.
It would be tough for you to know.
No, I'd say I'd have to come out hard at first
and then soften it up.
Aaron Rodgers, I would, Kevin Durant,
I think would actually be good after a while
after we got the old baby back bitch shit out of the way.
Aaron Rodgers, I feel like Aaron Rodgers,
if he was not in the right mood,
could be a very bad interview.
You know, I'd like to interview Jerry Jones on us.
Get him all liquored up.
Glory home.
Yeah.
Get him all liquored up and talk to Jerry.
He gave us some gold for sure, if we talk to him.
Do you imagine doing an exit interview with Jerry Jones
and just having it being glory home?
I think Jerry Jones' entire life is just an exit interview.
Yeah, Hank's going to stand on the other side of this wall.
Yeah.
And you have to eat whatever comes through.
Oh, my God.
All right, last one.
Side question.
We'd love to hear about PMT dogs, ages,
where you got them, et cetera.
Oh, go ahead, PMT.
So Leroy is 10 and a half years old.
He's an English master.
He's going blind,
but he can still see and he,
so I'm like a seeing-eyed person.
It's kind of cute.
I like walking around and guiding him around.
It's ironic, given your cornea.
Yeah, it is very, very, very ironic.
Extremely ironic.
And I got him in, where was it?
I think it was Denver.
Yeah, I got him in Denver, Denver, Pennsylvania.
From a breeder.
Denver, Pennsylvania, from a nice Mennonite slash Amish family.
From a breeder?
That had two mastiffs as their house,
as their family pets and they fucked.
Got it.
So it was a breeder.
I think she was a breeder.
But she didn't tell me she was a breeder.
Yikes.
It's embarrassing.
Yeah, very, very problematic in retrospect.
But I had him since he was a puppy
and he was like 10 pounds or about one.
Yeah, well, because you got a breeder.
I couldn't be so lucky.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
So Stella, I rescued.
Not to brag, but I've saved infinity dogs lives.
Who saved who?
Yeah, it's true.
She is seven and a half gray beard,
rescued from paws Chicago.
You're going to die or like you die your hair?
No, I've thought about it.
I've actually definitely thought about it.
You know what, when people die,
they're dogs like to look like tigers.
Yeah.
Why do people say that's cruelty?
No, the dog doesn't care.
Yeah, the problem is it's like half the time
it's so cute singing a gray beard
and half the time it's like, fuck, she's getting old.
But yeah, she's seven, paws Chicago.
I think they rescued her.
She was just walking around on the south side.
They just picked her up.
And she was nine.
She might be.
And she was nine months old then.
So, but she never grew anymore.
She's a, we did a blood test.
It's a fucking shit show.
She is a pit bull, beagle, cattle dog, other.
Okay.
So like a super, super mutt.
So here's the real question.
It's crazy how Max V's dog looks exactly like that.
Yes, yes, yes.
So you can see all of it.
Like she barks like a beagle.
She has a little bit of a pit bull face when she smiles,
but she's like too small for a pit bull.
And she's not muscular.
And she mistakes big cat for a cow all the time,
like a cattle dog.
Yeah, exactly.
So, you know, she does, she does just show up and run around.
I just want to say this.
You've been mean to me in Hank like all week.
You've had some weird things.
No, I'm just saying I'm sorry.
I'm apologizing for that.
Oh, thank you.
Oh wow.
Yeah.
I'm apologizing for being mean to you.
Just everyone should notice the meanness only goes one way.
Here's the real PFT to me in Hank.
Here's the real question big cat.
When you move into apartment,
what do you put on the application for what type of breed she is?
Cattle dog.
Yes.
Oh yeah.
No way am I putting pit bull.
Yeah.
One time I put that.
I was moving to a place in Leroy.
It was like 120 pounds and I put he's a lab mix.
Yeah.
And that didn't fly to me.
It helps to sell us 30 pounds.
But yeah, no, there's no chance that I would ever put anything.
What about your dog, Hank?
I had a dog named Ruby for my entire life.
Oh no, don't do this.
Shut up.
All right, forget it.
I was actually just giving you shit
because you don't have a dog,
so you don't have a best friend.
Yeah, because I have this fucking job.
And it wouldn't help.
I wouldn't be able to have a dog.
We should get a community dog for the four of us
and just let it live here.
Yeah, we've done a pretty good job of goldfish.
So I think getting a dog would be great.
Oh man.
Okay, that's our show.
We got some big guests coming up in the next couple of weeks.
Yeah, I'm talking big guests.
Big guests.
Get excited.
Coming up next couple of weeks.
Love you guys.
Have fun.
Love you guys.
Love you guys.
Today is another day to find you, shine it away.
Oh, I'll be coming for your love of faith.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh , oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
All the things that you say and reason, all I know
It's just a thing that worries me
You're all the things I've got to remember
You shine always
I'll be coming for you anyway
