George Kittle, Iowa Hawkeye tight end that blew up the spot on Thursday night in the Battle of the Bay for San Francisco, stops by for an electric conversation. The boys are blogging now, so I talk with each one of them about their individual blogs that are going up. I think you're going to enjoy the hell out of the day. I think you're going to.

Without further ado, let's get right to the conversations. Ladies and gentlemen, joining me now is a Hawkeye. And on Thursday night football, he became a staple in the football world with a

one-handed give me that then a touchdown he's being considered the greatest healthy tight end in the NFL today wrestling fan George Kittle what's up cuzzy sounds like you practiced that one once or twice no I didn't i actually just got out of the shitter and i heard that you were calling at this exact moment and i got so excited and you called literally at the perfect time as soon as i sat down so it was just it was a perfect thing that happened right there speaking of perfect what a thursday night for you george uh yeah it was pretty fun you know i'll get out there uh thursday night football not bad who the hell is this quarterback now mullins did you guys know that he was this good or what has been going on in practice he's been crushing uh I mean Nick Mullins

I think he got um he's got maybe like 10 snaps the whole year uh Jesus but he's just a guy that he's in his book 24-7 he knows the game plan just as well as coach Shanahan does and you know it's all on him for how well he did is he so he's a nerd yeah like you guys hang out together or no love nick mullins you know bdn he's a great guy really he threw you a hell of a highlight reel i think that's probably why you love him more now is that the case yeah it's a little bit but uh no he's great he's i mean hey you saw he's broken all of brett farve's passing records at Southern Miss, right? Favre tweeted him and called him, too. I don't know if you saw it. They ran with that very hard.

I don't know if you saw that on TV, Kittle. I told every reporter I possibly knew that story because I think it's so cool. I think it's beautiful. Brett Favre is an absolute legend, and it looks like Mullins is on his way. He's undefeated, just like Jimmy G was, just like Jimmy G was last year until that unfortunate incident. I remember going into the year, the 49ers, it was like the 49ers year. This is going to be the 49ers year.

We got a handsome Italian quarterback. We got a team around him. Shanahan's a genius. And then he gets hurt week one. He said, very, he is an attractive son of a bitch. I mean, that guy's unbelievable. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't all the way we wanted our season to go. Just to start, you know, we lost our running back too

Jet McKinnon A couple days before the first game So, but hey It's football, it's 17 weeks And it just goes and goes and goes And no one really cares, you guys are hurt So I think we've done pretty well And we're going to try to get some more wins this season

Jimmy G gets hurt Your running back gets hurt. Basically, that's week one. So it's like whenever Andrew Luck gets hurt for us, it was like midseason normally. He's like, ah, this guy's damn near dead. Beginning of the year, you guys basically get ruined, decimated by injuries in very key positions.

Who are some leaders in the locker room that were like, hey, let's go. We've got to continue to keep rocking. Are you a voice of the team? Was Pierre Garçon a big name there? Maybe some offensive linemen? Robbie Gold? Who are the leaders in our locker room over there? Right away, you've got Richard Sherman.

He's awesome. He's been a great addition to our locker room. Then you've got the legend Joe Staley. He's just incredible to be around and great in the locker room. And Pierre, yeah, Pierre's a great voice. I mean, he's one of a kind. Marquis Goodwin is great too. I mean, you said guys left and right. I mean, no one really backed down from him and everyone stepped up

and said, hey, we're going to do something with this. Richard Sherman is wearing the c i think i noticed that on thursday that was the most one of the most impressive things i saw on thursday richard sherman this summer got roasted by marquise goodwin and the internet lost their fucking mind um it was insane it wasn't very fair to richard sherman but the arrival of richard sherman is he completely opposite or what is he as opposed to what you expected he was going to be? He is so laid back and he loves

video games and he's also kind of a nerd in his own way in all good ways. I didn't know he was going to be so easy to relate to. He's a vet. He's won Super Bowls. He's done this and that. But he just comes in every day and he treats everyone with the same respect.

And I really got to hand it to a guy like that who's seen it all, and he can still act like that. You're a big wrestling fan, right? I try my best. I've been a fan for like four or five years. My buddy that's a semi-pro wrestler got me hooked. Oh, man. Who's your guy?

Who's your guy? Or girl. Who's your guy or girl? My favorite or my friend? Favorite of all time Oh, Seth Rollins Just because he's from Iowa I got to go to his wrestling school

I've been able to talk to him, hang out with him sometimes And he's a football guy So he's definitely my favorite And then close second, third after that is Stone Cold and The Rock Oh God, that's a good list you got there I don't want to make you jealous I had dinner with Seth Rollins, I think, just last week.

His schedule is asinine. It is the most asinine schedule I've ever seen in my life. No, it's stupid. I would never want that. Dude, I was talking to him. We were talking over, what, 45 minutes, Fox?

Oh, yeah, a long time. We were talking 45 minutes, and 35 minutes of it was him telling us his schedule and me just telling him how fucking absurd it was. He's, like, driving. Go ahead. it's awful i mean like what it's he doesn't have any free time he's just either driving or flying somewhere all the time you're what six foot what six five i'm six four uh that's

on me i gave you a couple inches there made you have to answer that you were smaller that's a real alpha i'll take inches wherever i can get them at six four coming out of iowa were you drafted to the niners or do you yeah yeah i was uh fifth round okay so this is your second year third year yep second year okay jimmy g comes in last year you guys go undefeated san francisco 49ers the entire city of san francisco like holy shit we got a guy? Is that what happened? Yeah, that's kind of how it happened. It was kind of it just, everything blew up. It was crazy. I mean,

first time and all that stuff. It was, yeah, the city was pretty damn excited to see Jimmy G arrive to the Bay Area. What's Lynch like as a boss? Former player, then a commentator, now he's a boss. He seems to be likable. He's making videos before primetime, before the Thursday night primetime game. He made a content video with an Australian guy trying to figure out which team he would be of the Bay.

John Lynch sends him a line like, hey, from what I hear, they're going to Las Vegas anyways. It was a good little fun, little content piece. Seems to have a good personality. How is he as the boss? How does he run the ship over there? Oh, it's awesome. I mean, you know, he doesn't talk in front of the team too often, but when he does, everyone listens.

And he knows what he's talking about, too, because he's been through it all. He's the best, though. I mean, he relates to the guys. He'll come down to the locker room and talk to us. And there's no really intimidation factor talking to John Lynch. He's just the player's guy and can't ask talking to john then she's she's just she's a player's guy and can't ask for much more that's awesome he built quite a team over there if it wasn't for a couple injuries i think we're talking about a whole new 49ers speaking of geniuses young

little geniuses too shanahan seems like the kid genius that doesn't get as much respect because mcveigh's hot right now everybody's talking about mcveigh nobody really talks about shanahan i saw him on pardon my Take. Incredible interviews. He looked miserable the entire time, though. Is that his look? I'm pretty sure Coach Shanahan loses like 30 pounds during the season. Just stressed out at all times? I mean, I don't know.

Being a football coach in the NFL just has to be one of the most stressful jobs to do. And so, no, but he's incredible. I mean, you should be in one of his install meetings. It's the way he talks about plays, and then he breaks them down, and they're so simple to him. And it's like you're reading, like, the Pythagorean theorem, and you're kind of sitting there like, holy cow, what am I looking at? And then he figures out how to break it down for the rest of us.

I love that he has to dumb it down for the idiot from Iowa. 100%. Hey, this 6'4 cornfield motherfucker is really good, so I've got to figure out how to explain this play to him. I've got to figure it out. You're a monster over there. You're like half the offense over there. Did you know that that was coming this year?

Is this – I would assume that you've been i mean to be honest you never hear kittle's name mentioned whenever you talk about tight ends everybody talks about grump they used to talk about hernandez killed a couple people he's gone talk about greg olson you talk about travis kelsey you never really hear about kittle you never hear about the other white meat out there in san francisco 49ers i don't know what that's all about george hey we're changing that this year you're goddamn right one-handed grabs on thursday night football scoring a touchdown for a team that nobody thought they could even score a touchdown it's awesome it was pretty cool travis kelsey followed me on twitter today that was a that was a peak for me hey did have you followed him for a while or is this a recent relationship

oh no i've been following for a while you. Are you kidding me? He is entertaining. I follow, like, every single tight end. Because, you know, I like tight ends that succeed, man. Who are some of the tight ends you look up to? Who do you watch film of and shit like that? Oh, my favorite tight end is Dallas Plotkin. No. No question.

I grew up, like, watching him play in college. And then he'd come back to our camps in Iowa and talk to the tight ends and stuff. Just hearing a guy like that talk about football is incredible. He was a linebacker at Iowa, I think, for a year, and then went over to tight end for a year and then left early, I think, if I know Dallas Clark's story right. Yeah, no, he was a linebacker, kind of fished tight end. Yeah, he's amazing. I mean, I loved watching him.

I love watching Kelsey, Gronk, Hurts. I like watching Evan Ingram and O.J. Howard, too. They're pretty fun to watch. How do you get better? How does George Kittle get better? What do you need to work on? Better hands? What do you need? Better hands? Need to get faster? Hey, I mean, you can always get better hands and get faster, right? I don't think so. Can you get faster? I don't know if you can.

I thought I peaked like high school. Oh, goodness gracious. You know what? I think you can if you've got to lose a little body fat and stuff. But I feel like you can get a little fat here and there. Maybe quickness is a better way to describe it. Hey, you're going to body shame me when you're out there in San Fran? They're going to ruin you, bro.

You're going to get attacked out in San Francisco for body shaming me like that right there. I would never body shame you, man. You're the peak of male physique. What's it like living in San Francisco? I only went out there one time for the super bowl and it was absurd i saw i saw homeless people doing is an hour south in san jose so i literally live in the heart of silicon valley wow are you going to invest in any of these apps you can become a billionaire out there if you get you know the right people uh you know i need to make some more money before I start investing,

but that would be pretty fun. Oh, yeah, you're on your second year fifth round draft pick, too, so you're still getting min salary probably, dominating on Thursday night, getting min salary right now. Yeah, that's about how it goes. And taxes in California, what, 75% you're paying taxes over there? 69%. That's awesome.

Great haircuts over there in the Valley, though. I don't know about... Actually, I've never been in the middle of San Jose. There's not a lot to do. Well, yeah. What do you do out there? What happens in Silicon Valley? Well, so I spent the whole weekend in San Francisco with my fiance, which is pretty awesome.

But in Silicon Valley, you got to go to either a Sharks game or drive an hour to the coast. That's what you do for fun. Well, congrats on being engaged. Is that an Iowa lady? Yeah, she played basketball at the University of Iowa. Oh, you guys are just going to create avatars? I'll tell you, she's six foot tall? Yeah, she's six feet tall.

I'm going for the avatar, baby. It's an investment. Yeah, she's six feet tall. I'm going for the Avatar babies. It's an investment. Will you let your kid play football? Yeah. I don't know how early tackle football starts.

It's different wherever you live, but I think everyone should experience football. It teaches you way too many good lessons. Who's your favorite coach of all time? Everybody loves Kirk Ferentz. It's been through there. Everybody. Pat Anger loves Kirk Ferentz. It's been through there. Everybody. Pat Anger loves Kirk Ferentz. I mean, personally,

my dad coached me up until high school, so he's my favorite coach of all time, but KF, he's the goat. He's special, huh? You Iowa guys really, really like him. What does he do? Does he just relate to you guys? Is he nice to you guys? Treats you guys right? Set you up on a path of success? What is it? Yeah, I mean, you just hit it.

Yeah, you hit it right there. I mean, he's just basically always says hey if you know just do what you're supposed to do you're gonna finish iowa with a great career and uh you get your uh get your degree you're gonna live a great life and i mean all you just follow what he tells you to do it's pretty easy and everyone succeeds it does seem like that it seems like every player that comes from iowa succeeds now granted not a lot of the the white folks make it into the NFL there from Iowa, but it does seem as if everybody that comes from Iowa is always highly respected and appreciated and does well. It seems as if that is the case.

Kirk Ferentz seems to be running a good ship out there. It is a ship that runs in a straight line 24-7. You and Pat Inger get along whenever you were at Iowa, or was he before you? So he was before me, but he came back the summer going into our, when we went undefeated at Iowa. And he's actually, I attribute a big part of my success to Pat Anger. Let me hear it.

And then I don't think, I doubt he remembers it. So Pat Anger, I got him for like 20 seconds. Because Coach Ferentz told a story like, you know, Pat Anger, he didn't play much his first two years. And then he turned to like a starter, and then he was in the NFL as a second-round draft pick. And so I asked him what he changed in his life. He's like, well, I kind of just stopped being an asshole,

and I stopped drinking so much. I went to sleep. I studied more football, and I stopped fighting people. And so I kind of took that. Because I didn't play at all like my first two and a half years of college. And so I kind of used the same – I didn't really fight people, but I used that same mentality and it kind of helped me out. That is fucking awesome.

Pat Anger is going to love hearing that, him saying, yeah, I just stopped being an asshole and stopped drinking as much, turned somebody's life around. Like Pat Anger is going to really appreciate that. I hope you know that. And I'm thankful that that happened because what you are becoming is something very special, George. Hey, thank you. I doubt he remembers the conversation.

It was like 15 seconds in the middle of a lift at 6 a.m. on a Wednesday in the middle of summer. But I remember it. That sounds like Ricky Bobby. You ain't first, you're last. When he was a little kid and his dad leaving. It was like just a two-second period of the life that completely changed the direction of Ricky Bobby's whole life. And then at the end, I didn't even know.

Second place, there's a lot. I was probably high when I said that to you. Pat Anger is probably like. Pat, that sounds exactly like something Pat Anger would say, though. So it would be right on course, and it's awesome that it happened. Who are you guys playing next, and are you guys going to ever lose again now that Mullins is quarterback? We got Giants on Monday Night Football.

Let's go. You know, you got to talk to him about that. I'm not going to say no, because it is big, big Nick. How is the locker room treating him since everything that's happened oh i mean because i don't know if you guys saw but so in the preseason our first preseason game we're losing the cowboys and uh he went on i was it was it's third i think it's third string guys were in and he mounts his epic comeback like a game when he drive like a minute left he goes like 80 yards nice and it was just yeah yeah, it was incredible.

And, you know, the whole locker room just blew up after that, you know, cheering for him and stuff. And it was the exact same reaction, you know, after the Thursday night game. Yeah, he's fantastic. And the team loves him. There's nothing about the guy that you don't like. All right, well, good luck against the Giants. I'm going to bet on you guys.

Oh, please. I am. I'm going to bet on you guys. Oh, please. I am. I'm going to bet on you, too. There's probably a prop bet whether or not 6'4", Iowa, and we'll get in the end zone. And I'm going to bet on you. Please do. You got a high fade.

I put more pressure on Nick. Hey, you were off on the sideline. I think they were fucking with your foot or something, your ankle. Oh, no, man. I'm all good. You kidding me? Just what does the NHLl say just like a body injury

yeah lower body injury yeah sure it's just we're all good well they zoomed in on you sitting on the sideline you look like you're in a little bit of pain i noticed the fresh fade i noticed that there was a good fade on your head right there i thought it was pretty impressive you should go with the mullet maybe the mullet oh my goodness gracious ah the fiance might not maybe the fiance might not like that i'm not to work on that i'll i'll clear it through uh mr lynch oh good idea think about the boss first well both bosses fiance and john lynch i think that's probably a good idea george all right man have a great one i appreciate you so much good luck with everything too you're crushing it hey thank you so much thanks me on. It was awesome. Kind of a dream come true

for me. Love you guys. I don't want to hear that bullshit, George. No, seriously. I love listening to you guys. It's so fun. Well, we appreciate you so much. Diggs, Todd, and everybody's bloggers right now, so they're literally blogging. So they're going to come in and talk about their blogs here in a second. So you

missed them, but I'm sure literally everybody is a fan of yours, George. So I hope you go on and crush it we're betting on you heavy good luck in san jose get in on an app by the way that's billion dollars there no more touchdowns need to be scored if you just go in on a good app maybe get the uh maybe maybe be rich and then also find snapchat that's that's something you could do score touchdowns and be a founder of snapchat i'll do my best to get in on that all right thanks pat thanks, Pat. Cheers, George. You're the man. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us, Diggs at Diggs with a Z,

blogger for the Pat McAfee Show.com, co-host of Heartland Radio, also Pat McAfee Show. Diggs, great to see you. Great to see you, Pat. Good to be here. It's really nice in here today. It is, isn't it? It's nice.

Good lighting, a little open. Zito's not here. That's kind of fucked up. He'll be here in a little bit. George Kittle was a good guy though said pat angerer changed his life because pat anger came back to iowa did a lift at like 6 a.m then george so pat anger didn't start his first couple years and then became a starter and then second round draft break george kiddo was hoping for the same career path he didn't play his first couple years pat anger tells him it's 6 15 in the morning

the reason why he got better is because he stopped being an asshole, stopped drinking as much, and started going to sleep earlier and taking care of himself. And stopped fighting people. And stopped fighting people.

And George Kittle took that 15-second lesson and applied it to his life in fifth-round draft pick. Now he's one of the best tight ends in the game. He came out of nowhere this year. I told him that,

by the way, straight to his face. Literally told him. I never heard his name. I have no idea who he is. Cool guy. Really cool guy. Big fan of the show.

He said he's a big fan of yours. He showed out. I appreciate that. I don't know if he said you. I'm part of the show. So he said it. Ipso facto. He showed out against the Raiders.

That one-handed catch, and then he's pretty fast, too. Yo, Big Dick Nick is what they call Nick Mullins. Really? Yeah, every Nick is named Big Dick Nick. Except for Nick Moreau. His name's Frank. So you're blogging now?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, patmachineshow.com just launched a new store. Put out a bunch today. Potentially a new blog. I don't know if the blog is up and running yet, but we have,

it's not. It's not. It's not yet. It's supposed to be up yesterday. I know. I thought today was the first day I fucking threw five up there. I was ready to go. Oh, you were ready to dominate day one.

Oh yeah. But they'll still be up there for people whenever they go, whenever it goes live. Maybe today, by the way, the day this podcast, Tuesday, maybe today. But I've been enjoying watching you do your research and figure things out because you're very much invested in the NFL. Now you get more outlets for it. Yeah. And it also like paying attention to the nfl and everything that's

going on in the nfl is actually it's very hard like so much going there's so much good like this weekend so much happened today a lot fucking happened or yesterday whatever it is but whatever yes time there's just so much information at all times and like there's like 20 blogs that could be written a day so it's hard to actually like pick and choose which ones you want to write and then in the end you're just like write the ones that you're actually passionate about so it's not you're just not throwing shit out there the office has changed the dynamic of the office has changed it really has it has become a busy bee work blogging has really i don't want to say peaked interest but a lot of people have gotten their interest peaked by this blogging has really i don't want to say peaked interest but a lot of people have gotten

their interest peaked by this blogging thing and i'm watching nick and todd and digs and ty who's editing editor of the whole thing i'm watching you guys like dive into stuff and it's kind of cool to watch you like enjoy it and i'm like oh this is this is why blogs work because people get so intrigued by i work we work for a blog company for a while. I never learned how to blog. Now I have my own blog. Still don't know how to blog. I think I'll figure it out. I got it on my phone, which means we're taking steps.

But you are really enjoying the hell out of it. Well, I think it's because I also know the other side. Before I got into this, when I was just in sales and stuff like this, I couldn't watch videos or anything like that all day at work because obviously you'd get in trouble and you wouldn't get any fucking work done. But I did always have blog sites up and stuff like that so I could read all day long. So I kind of have an idea of kind of what I liked from blogs. That's good.

That's good news. I know my people, my Q people, they enjoy it. Hey, this dumbass got out of the zoo that we're in. Got out of the cage and now he's writing. Speaking of, what are you writing about? What happened in the NFL? Today, I gave out my second annual CTGSSOLRDBLWHCCP award. For the people that are new here, what does that stand for?

That is the Klaus and Tebow, Gabbard, Sanchez, Schaub, Osweiler, Leaf, Russell, Dilfer, Bowler, Leinert, Wanky, Harrington, Carr, Couch, Peterman award. Peterman got added. I was so proud. Couch and Peterman got added. I'm so proud. Couch and Peterman got added because I needed a nice solid 16 number. He is so new to be added to that name of legendary failures. He has no chance. That dude is the worst.

He's so bad at football. This week, like, he threw another three interceptions. He's one of the nominees. He's my first nominee this week. He threw another three interceptions. Two of them weren't really his fault, but he just, he's he's my first nominee this week he threw another three interceptions two of them weren't really his fault but he just it's his drug like it's it's his heroin he needs to throw interceptions so whether it's his fault or not they're gonna happen like it happens every single week bro it is such a shame for him because he's trying so hard i mcdermott wants him to

succeed i don't think i've ever seen a quarterback set up for success this much in my entire life honestly i don't even think peyton was set up for success this much in my entire life. Honestly, I don't even think Peyton was set up for this amount of success that this guy just getting opportunity after opportunity after opportunity. It's just fail after fail after fail. I'm sure he's a really nice guy. I'm sure he's a I saw the internet turned this weekend.

They went from always making fun of him to people bad. Everyone's feeling bad this weekend. This guy is just getting tossed into the wolves every single week. He should be playing backyard football. We got him in the NFL this guy. Bro, this guy is just getting tossed into the wolves every single week. He should be playing backyard football. We got him in the NFL, this guy. It just got announced that Derek Anderson has cleared concussion protocol, and Nathan Peter will not be starting this week.

Just an emergency situation. Oh, thank God for the Bills fans. Bills Mafia is so excited about that. My second nominee was Sam Darnold. He threw four interceptions this week, and they were bad for it, too. They were all like – Is Peterman a rookie? No.

No, second year. So that's my thing. I think rookies – it's a whole new ballgame. When Hugh Jackson went on TV the other day and said, Baker Mayfield wasn't playing as well as I thought he was, he said that. He actually said it was kind of like why he wanted to help Todd Haley. He wanted to help Todd Haley because Baker wasn't playing as well. It's like rookie quarterbacks fail.

That's what rookie quarterbacks do. Andrew Luck succeeded, and he still failed. There was a lot of interceptions. Peyton Manning is notoriously one of the worst rookie quarterbacks of all time. Rookie quarterbacks fail because even in college, even at a high level in college, there will be one or two Evan Foxes on the defense that you can just pick apart.

There's like, okay, like you saw what Tom Brady did as soon as that 27 came in the other night or 37 came in the other night. He was like, okay, ha ha, Clinton Dix got traded. This guy's a backup safety. So this person's the backup to the backup. This is a Canadian Football League player. The next four calls went directly at that safety.

I mean, it was it was and they talk about i've been at a lot of practices there's a lot of practices where bruce aarons was offensive coordinator would there be like a corner like 22 or like 21 he would have a check 21 call it was like check 21 and then the defense would be like yo you just got you just got like you are getting called out like The corners know, like that does happen. Like quarterbacks take advantage. But when you're a rookie, there's so much to learn. Because although having that 27th Canadian Football League player,

he is still better than anybody. It's an all-star game every single weekend. That's what the NFL is. It's an all-star game every single weekend with every age group. Even guys that graduated 10 years ago, their all-stars are still playing. It's just, there's a big learning curve. So I'm not really against rookies sucking, but boy, if you're really terrible, you've got to have a little self-awareness.

The reason why I'm not giving him a break is because he's had some good games this year. And we watched last week the Dolphins secondary just get toasted by the Texans, and then he threw four just awful picks to the Dolphins. That's going to happen. But my last nominee and my winner for this week. Oh, wait. So Nathan Peterman did not win his own award?

No, no, no. He got his name put on the award the same week he didn't win the award? There's a little twist, though, here. Someone who is on the award won this week. Some guy who hasn't taken a snap in 10 years. Okay. Jamarcus Russell won the award. How did he just get paid again?

No, it came out this week that during the Jamarcus Russell days, Raiders coaches didn't believe he was watching film, so they gave him blank tapes. The next day he came in saying he watched the Blitz packages when the tapes were blank. That's awesome. No way. That is the absolute best.

That's such a good way to test him too. First round pick getting paid $50 million, can't watch fucking film. I respect that. Oh, dude, he gets no fucks like as far as the award as far as the award is concerned that's what we're looking for that's why he's on the award like you need that type of not giving a fuck to so that bad that's hysterical the hiding in film thing is such a good way to to quiz peyton used to do when he was doing his rehab so when he was doing his rehab he'd be like 15 minutes in the rehab

and he'd flip off the camera just because he wanted to see if that person, the coach was actually watching his rehab or not. Because they were filming all this shit. They're filming all of his rehab from the broken neck all the way through is filmed somewhere because it was filmed every single day. And in the video, he would do things to see if the person was watching it or not which is a hilarious thought like hey how did you did you watch that video last night yeah you looked really good the whole time yeah this motherfucker hey somebody needs to fire this motherfucker that's what peyton manning would do

i'd for sure get caught doing that yes for sure that's like on the ipads they hand out they can see how much film you watch so guys their new playbooks are on ipads you know and it's all connected they can see how much film you watch so there was a time where a coach came into the the team meeting and was like you got guys on this team who have opened their their playbooks and looked at one percent of the things in the entire playbook we can see that you, you fucking idiots. So the guys would just honestly, they'd put their practice film just on loop. So guys would leave their iPads out. I would walk into an apartment,

there'd be like four iPads out, and it would just be on loop. I'm like, what's that? They're like, oh, we watch a film. I'm like, yeah, you are. Yeah, we're streaming that whole thing, aren't we? Every rep twice. Yeah, there's ways to trick.

That's hilarious that they did the complete opposite to Jamarcus Russell russell though what do they say though hey this guy's not watching film we gotta cut him cut him 50 million we just put 50 million on him he could from the knee he could throw from that guy was so bad vick i guess didn't watch much film either no but he didn't need to he wasn't 300 pounds and couldn't move you remember that video on espn where he's sitting in front of 24s on a Cadillac? Oh, yeah. He was just walking down a gravel road. He looked like he was four bills, possibly.

He was. He might have been 400 pounds at the time. Nope. He's the best. First pick of the draft. And that's why he won for me this week. Speaking of the Browns and Bruce, Bruce came out today and said, I'd only come out of retirement for the Browns job.

So I'm wondering if Bruce is hating this media gig. I think he is. I think he's hating the media gig. I don't know. This is literally we have no idea. This is us. I think he's hating the media gig. And when he retired, remember, he said his son was 40.

And he was like, oh, where'd the time go? 40 years passed by. I think he's experiencing what life is without the game. And he's like, there's a reason the game and he's like there's a reason i skipped 40 years or missed 40 years of my life basically yeah he's a football guy he's a coach his routines are terrible george talked about it he said shanahan loses 30 pounds they sleep at the fucking building they watch film all day every day nothing happens outside of football there is no world outside if you tell them that there's an election happening today,

by the way, you should all get out and vote, they have no idea. The coaches have no clue that election day is happening. None. They are just watching film. And that sounds like an exaggeration, but it's not. That is 100% true story. My ex-coach, Tom McMahon,

he's now at the Denver Broncos special teams. He's been doing a lot. That motherfucker didn't know anything. He knew nothing outside of football. If you tell him, hey, Trump's running for president, Trump, the reality guy? Yeah, he's president now. Oh, that's crazy because they live in these little worlds, and once you leave that world, you probably miss it.

It's probably like, oh, that's my whole life. It's like Red getting out of jail. It's just like getting out of jail. You have no idea what to do. Red didn't know what to do. I saw a tweet this weekend that said Saban woke up on, I think it was Saturday, and didn't know it was his birthday. Didn't even realize it was his birthday, and he didn't know.

Just beat LSU. Yeah, exactly. They're unstoppable. Yeah, they're there. I'm not a firm believer in this. I think Conor said this yesterday. Well, Boston Conor, who will be in here in a little bit, I'm sure the Patriot.

I can't wait to hear what he has to say. But we were talking earlier, and he said yesterday, well, Boston Connor, who will be in here in a little bit, I'm sure the Patriot, I can't wait to hear what he has to say. But we were talking earlier, and he said yesterday, he said that this is the first time he thinks a college team can be an NFL team. And I am always anti that because the NFL, just like what I said with the rookie quarterbacks, it is the all-star game. The NFL is an all-star game. That Alabama team looks like a fucking all-star game.

That offensive line looks like they'll be an NFL offensive line. There's no weakness. And the quarterback is better. The quarterback is a star. Normally, you would say Alabama. Yeah, you got Jalen Hurts, though. That guy will just get ruined in the NFL. He can't outrun anybody.

He's terrible. But now they got the guy that can drop it in a bucket, and he leads receivers better than some NFL guys, and he seems to have the vision. I think Alabama could put up a fight against the Bills. Oh, you're going Bills? Who are you going, Browns? Raiders.

Oh, they cut Bruce Irvin, too. The Raiders. Hey, Coach, is Coach Gruden back here? Yeah, yeah, he's back here. Hey, Coach, Coach, what's going on back here? You know what, man? Bruce was lipping off all week. Couldn't do it anymore. I said, fuck it.

Get him out of here. You guys got demolished in the Battle of the Bay by San Francisco. You got rid of Khalil Mack. You got rid of Amari Cooper. Now you're getting rid of your defensive captain, Bruce Irvin. You're getting crushed on Thursday. It very much seems like you guys are just tanking. You're banking on tanking.

You're banking on taking, coach. It's very obvious. Well, you know, at this point of the game, you know, everyone's expendable. You know, like I said, I want my guys in there. Previous regime didn't do a great job getting talent in here. I think that's pretty obvious. I'm doing everything I can, you know. How do we know that you still got it?

Like, they're banking on tanking because they're like, oh, if we get the right players, that system will still work. You've been out of the game for a decade. How do you guys know that your method will work, coach? I think you just got to trust the process. Oh, Jesus. Go back and look at any of my tape with the quarterback camps. I think that speaks for itself. The pool noodles. Yeah, exactly. I know what I'm doing. I know how to get a quarterback from point A to point B. And right now, Derek's just not responding. Do you hate Derek Carr? Yeah. Again, I think he's kind of a puss. I'm looking for a guy back there who's hard-nosed, gritty. Again, you've heard me say it a million times. Brad Johnson would take a bullet for me and for any of his teammates, and Derek Carr's just not that kind of guy, man.

I saw you and Derek Carr smiling on the sideline down 30. There was a lot of talk of his team losing respect for him because he was crying. Has that affected you at all? You guys seem to be smiling and laughing while down 30 on the sideline. Yeah, if you haven't noticed, a lot of times when I am smiling, it's really just me gritting my teeth into dust. I was pretty hot at him in the moment, actually. I wasn't going to smile.

He was about five seconds away from a tongue lashing. They said, hey, coach, we can't have that on camera. This guy's already lost the locker room. We don't need people showing up with pitchforks at his door. He was smiling, though, so maybe you think he was just not taking you seriously? Yeah, probably.

I don't know. Again, the guy's a punk. He just doesn't listen to what I say. I try to get the pool noodles out. He starts crying, so I can't do that. I've had it with him. They are bad, dude. They're so bad.

They're bad. I didn't expect that. We didn't even know Nick's name before the guy died. I at least think the Bills try. I don't think the Raiders try at all. Bruce, I wonder what Bruce said. That had to be a real conversation, man. Who's the worst coach?

He was after you, right? McDermott or Gruden. Well, the thing is, what they're doing right now is they're tanking. So Gruden has an excuse because they're trying to lose. McDermott is trying to win. This is not a trying to lose situation. He got that team to the playoffs last year, and it wasn't a terribly different roster.

Tyrod Taylor, though. Yeah. Tyrod Taylor, is he hurt? No, he played a little bit this weekend. Baker got hurt for a little bit. And Tyrod played? Uh-huh. So Tyrod's just kind of being held hostage by Cleveland?

Yeah. Good for Tyrod. I mean, his name was mentioned a little bit, the trade deadline, but nobody pulled a trigger on that. So Greg Williams is the coach. But the first play with Baker Mayfield, they put him on a naked boot, by the way. Good move. I like it.

I thought they were going to move him. Sports books got crushed this weekend. Sports books got crushed this weekend. Vegas lost like $10 million probably. It's probably because Kansas City Chiefs did to the Browns what everybody thought they were going to do. They covered. The Steelers covered.

The Vikings covered. Everything that was supposed to happen happened. The Texans fucking covered. God damn it, McManus. He really fucked me there. Bro, 62-yarder and a 51-yarder, right? 50 was the one that died. 51 was the end for the game right in the middle of the field.

Missed it wide right. Which is like a 41-yarder in Denver. McManus, I can't believe. Friend of the show. Friend of the office. He's been here. Huge parlay for me. I thought he was going to hit that 62-yarder.

And then my bookie was going to buy some for the brand shirts for people because the 60-yard field goal was him. When he went out there for that 62-yarder, I was like, okay, McManus got this. And then he missed it right. Every kicker's missing right, by the way. Boswell's all his extra points are right. Yeah, so that's pushing. So that's called pushing so that what that means is you're thinking right so it's like

in a golf thing if you're if you're not getting all the way through it you're thinking too much so you just got to kind of let it just let that thing go just let it flow baby just let it just let it all the way go so you can get through it because it's all the pushing is them punching it you're punching it so you're not confident with the swing you're trying to guide it in more so than just letting it go in it's like whenever people shoot a basketball and they're trying to push it in instead of just stroking it in it's a big difference you just kind of got to get you got to get through it golf basketball kicking punting it's all the same if you're punching it's wrong if you're stroking it's good stroking i've been stroking in the east i've been

stroking in the west you ever heard that song stroke it yeah that's a great song speaking of kickers uh sturgis got cut because he missed everything yesterday didn't even get on a plane home they said didn't even let him they left him in seattle he said they didn't rivers i thought rivers was gonna fucking murder him he's been brought back, too. He did that before. Oh, yeah. He did that before they cut a punter because he said it was on the holder. Donnie Jones comes in. Bag of Bones Jones comes in. Super Bowl champion.

Super Bowl champion comes in. Been holding for 10 years. Like, hey, you can't be blaming the holder now. You just can't be. That kid's bad. He's soft, too. I thought Rivers was going to fucking kill him. Did you like the Seahawks end zone dance?

Because I did. I did. I liked it a lot. I noticed that Russ wasn't involved because everyone hates him and he can't dance. So that's all I took away from that dance. The Russell Wilson slander is unbelievable. He's a fake

I'm never having sex again guy. He sucks. They can't play what's called in the locker can't play Fugitive League. The Russell Wilson hate I think is warranted because he's tough. He's tough to handle as a human. The New Orleans Saints

though. Yes. That was a lock as soon as they put Drew Brees' dumb kids on fucking ESPN. I know they're not dumb kids. They're actually very sophisticated and intelligent. They did that interview on NFL Live and they sounded smarter than anything I've ever said in my entire life. But as soon as they were on TV, I was like,

oh no, my Golden State Rams got no shot. They got no shot. They got Drew Brees' kids on fucking TV before. Been saying it. I also found out he's never won an MVP, so he's for sure winning that. Oh, this is MVP season. Lock it in. Oh my God, because they feel bad for the Minneapolis I also found out he's never won an MVP, so he's for sure winning that. Oh, this is MVP season. Yeah. Lock it in. And I knew.

Oh, my God. Because they feel bad for the Minneapolis Miracle, too. Yep. Oh, my. Such a storyline. It is. It's all they care about. It's like it's home field, so they needed to win against the Rams, and then Hecker gets the first down, obviously, and they don't call that.

How do they not call that? That's positionism if I've ever seen it in my entire life. Just a bunch of positionists. And saintsism. Position saintsism. Drew Brees-ism. Johnny didn't deserve that. Hey, the Saints look good, though.

That was a good game. Kamara and Michael Thomas and Drew. And Taysom Hill. I love Taysom Hill so much. He's like 45 years old. Yeah, Mormon. Monster of a man. He'd be a fun quarterback to watch on an actual team.

Yeah. If he was like somebody's actual quarterback. Yeah. Like, maybe Gruden makes a play for him. I'll tell you what, man. This guy can punt return, man. Quarterback, man. He seems gritty.

Seems like a gritty dude. Wears gloves. They keep saying he's the fastest dude on the team, and I keep not believing that report. No way. That is being said because there has been races then. That is not something. Races happen very much.

Very much. You're fast. You fail its race. That happens all the all the time if it's being reported it had to have happened it had to have happened they say every single game because it would have got checked it would have got checked by now like whoever would be faster maybe it's mike thomas yeah let's say he's faster than him he would have came out and said no no no no no or that rookie corner normally you can count on a corner being very fast too. That rookie corner they have, Lattimore, if he was, he would have came out and said,

they keep saying that this guy's the fastest. It had to have happened. In an off-season workout, it had to have happened. I trust you then. It's hard seeing a 28-year-old white quarterback being the fastest player on the team. What? You know why. What are you talking about?

Everything I just said, he's a 28-year-old white quarterback. Mormon. He also broke his about? Everything I just said. He's a 28-year-old white quarterback. Mormon. He also broke his leg like four times in college. So what are you saying? I don't know. You're saying because he's white. Does the golden plates have healing power? I don't know.

What golden plates are you talking about? Isn't that part of Mormon? Didn't they find golden plates? Yeah. Joseph Smith did. Up there in New York. That was a fucking hell of a game, though. That was really good.

Michael Thomas, do you like the cell phone? Loved it. Me too. Bro, of a game though. That was really good. Michael Thomas, you like the cell phone? Loved it. Me too. Bro, Troy Aikman, you would have thought that he,

Troy, hey Troy, Troy, chill the fuck out. Have a little fun. You would have thought that Mike Thomas went into the stands

and punched a kid. They had no idea it was a Joe Horn thing I feel like. No, no, they do. They do.

They do. They do. They do. They didn't reference it one time. They didn't reference it. Well, that's fucked up on their part.

Well, Troy Aikman was acting like he slapped a child. He was acting like he slapped a kid. It was one of the most. You know, in these types of games, those 15 yards really go a long way. Which they do, by the way. But if something is that, that was an awesome. It was really cool. Yeah, it was to seal the game.

He went over 200 yards. I don't care. He could have spiked the cell phone off the ref's face for all I cared at that point. Be who you can afford to be. If it was the first quarter on like a two-yard slant pattern, okay, he's not going to be. Hey, he's got those 11s, too, the Jordan 11. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's got my shoes.

It's cleats. Oh, yeah. Those are nice. Yeah. Those are really nice. He's good. I like him a lot. He's incredible.

He's very, very good. It's Kamara. Kamara Those were really nice. He's good. I like him a lot. He's incredible. He's very, very good. Kamara. Kamara's unbelievable, too. That bull nose. I didn't give them enough respect whenever I was talking about the Rams on ESPN. I wasn't giving the Saints enough respect. Rams won the playoffs, though. Let's not even talk about it.

Golden State Warriors lost a couple games, too. I mean, they did. I thought when they tied it up 35-35, I thought it was like, oh, the Rams. Primetime players make primetime plays here. Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Like, this is going to work out perfectly. For everything I said, I am going to go quote tweet it and tell everybody to eat a dick.

And then they lose the day after I say that. You want to run through some of the other games? Sure. Pats Packers, primetime. Bro. Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers and that team looked dialed in. And they kept talking about how Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers

were like embracing the matchup like yes this is tom brady versus aaron rogers as opposed to being like oh this is just another game it's another game tom brady was complimenting aaron heavy aaron was complimented tom man they knew what it was and it seemed like there was a look like real focus on both the guys like this is a big game to us because they don't get those matchups often they said that um peyton manning and aaron rogers only faced off i think once or something like that or or there was there's because if they're in different conferences you don't see them play every four years so it's it

was a very big thing and it seemed as if man just as soon as the patriots find something back to back weeks as soon as the patriots find something or see something it's over it's just like that you hate to say it you hate to say it but find something or see something it's over it's just like that you hate to say it you hate to say it but that's why New England is New England just because what they do is what they do they're so good well then I think back to back weeks Packers are well not not with

Ty Montgomery they weren't going to score but this week they're going to score and it's a fucking fumble that quarter that run back was doing well too yeah he's young good it sucks for him Kareem Hunt fumbled on his first play against the Patriots. He has never fumbled again. Yeah, that was the first fumble of his career ever. Old buddy got pulled, though, after that, didn't he?

Yep. And he was doing very well. Oh, yeah. It's like, hey, maybe a little bit of overreaction here. That's not like McCarthy is just, he's just piss poor. Cordell Patterson, monster running back. That's what I said, too. He did more last night in that game than he did in eight previous games

against the Packers when he was in Minnesota. So James White, stud, right? He's a slot for them. He's a running back for them. He gets hurt. He goes out or whatever with knee or whatever happened. Cordell Patterson does very well. James White's ready to come back in.

Cordell Patterson's still in. They're almost like, oh, wait a minute, James. You are a, wait a minute. I don't know. Did they know Cordell Patterson's an incredible running back? They had said going into the game that he was going to factor into the game plan. They played him like a few. This is not the first time he's played running back.

He runs hard. So the reason why he's a good kickoff returner. So the reason why kickoff returners are good is because they get to top speed quick. So you see the people that kind of like dance around. They're kind of scared to get to top speed because they're going to get hit hard. It's about getting to top speed quick and fearless. That's why Josh Cribs was so good because he would get the ball. And although he wasn't faster than everybody, he would get to his top speed quick.

And it was like that. Cordero Patterson, same exact way. He gets going with a hurry. Like, bang, he's not waiting around. He's not dancing. He's hitting it. And he's 228 pounds, I think they said. He's a great returner.

He did good. He looked good at running back. And I was like, of course. Of course the Patriots have a guy who could just be a stud running back for him. Garrett Blunt leaves. Now they've got a new 228-pound running back who can tote the rock. Also, the screenplay, the wide receiver. From Edelman back to White.

Genius. It's the amount of patience that takes. We're just going to throw it over here just to throw it back over here for a screen. The offensive lineman just walking. There was a wall. They were just standing there. It's genius, man. It's just they really are.

They're just smarter than everybody, it seems like. It's tough. It is tough. It's tough for Aaron Rodgers. No knee brace, right? No, yeah. He didn't have it. That's good.

Steelers-Ravens, domination. I called Steelers money line. Everybody did, though. I can't believe. That's probably another one because the Ravens. Steelers were plus two. The Steelers were plus two. And I thought, this seems too easy.

This seems like a handout here. And I think Vegas thought something was going to happen in that game, and it didn't. That's probably why. Flacco was dog shit. Bro, Lamar Jackson wide open on that swing pattern. Dude, he hates him so much. He does, doesn't he? He hates him so much that he won't even have a touchdown pass of his own

if it means Lamar Jackson is going to get in the end zone. You can't. You can't. Hates him. I would like to bash Joe Flacco for hating Lamar Jackson. Can't. But Joe Flacco has gotten paid $100 million to be very average, and they kind of just let it happen.

And he's probably on pace to make another $50 to $100 million, and they draft a guy to take that out of his pocket. I'd be pretty pissed off if I was old Bert and Ernie Flacco as well. Every time he comes on the field, you could see it just seeping out of his uniform how mad he is. I'm going to record wide receiver. I'm going to stand on here. I ain't doing shit. I'm going to stand

on here though. And if he's going to come in and run a little wheel pattern, know that we only have 10 people on the field. I ain't looking at him either. I guess Harbaugh's in a hot seat. They've lost three in a row. James Conner, over 1,000 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns in eight games.

First Steelers player to ever do that. All of his stats are better than Lev Bell. Lev Bell just tweeted, farewell Miami. He said he's going to Pittsburgh. Is that what's happening? Yeah, well, Scoops McGee did some little scooping. Oh, you've been confirming stories? Blogging Scoops.

Oh, yeah. I was checking the internet. There was a private flight that left 20 minutes after he tweeted that farewell. Farewell, Miami from Miami to Pittsburgh. I mean, who else is flying from Miami to Pittsburgh? I'm sure nobody. I'm sure there's no business possibly being done in Miami. There's no private flights from Miami to Pittsburgh. No, there's nobody in Pittsburgh flying privately in the middle of a Monday. I mean, at the same time, he tweeted it.

Who found that you did? No. Who tweeted it? I tweeted out all the commercial flights. There was a 735 flight with nonstop. I'm sure he's on that one. Who responded with you with the private? Guy's name is...

Source. This is you giving out your source right now, by the way. He told me to give it out. He wanted respect. I actually can't find it. So he has like a deadline, doesn't he, if he doesn't come back by a certain time? Not today, Tuesday. Next week, Tuesday.

Him spelling farewell wrong. Oh, Ryan Warwick. Very Lev Bell move. Spelling farewell wrong. You know, you're not worried about that. What's he going to do? He hurt himself training, I thought. I thought the reason why he didn't come back earlier

is because he hurt himself trying to get back in shape. He didn't want to show a pert because it makes him look even worse. I don't know. He's going to be the best backup running back in the league, though. The best. The Steelers have the best backup running back in the league, or do they? James White might be the backup running back in New England. Well, yeah, because Sonny Michel's a starter. So Cordero Patterson's

third string? He was, yeah. So let's assume the left bell isn't right now at this exact – well, maybe he is. They're going to go shotgun double sidecars, Connor and Lev Bell both in the backfield. Good luck! We did that. West Virginia, we did that.

We signed Noel Devine, who was one of the top – he was the top running back recruit in his high school YouTube video. Oh, my God. So we somehow got him to West Virginia and we also got a guy named Jock Sanders to West Virginia as well. Same draft class, same position, same body, same

small. Number nine? Number nine, yes. In all training camp that freshman year, all training camp, Jock Sanders was crushing Noel Devine. Crushing. It wasn't even Jock Sanders was the guy, all training camp. Noel Devine now at Deion Sanders hyping him. He was the five-star recruit.

He was WVU's big recruit, was Noel Devine. This whole thing, he's on, like, tickets, I think, at this point. Jock Sanders, the same exact position, same exact draft – or same exact recruiting class, same position, killing Noel Devine in training camp. Pat White's hand – him and Pat White are doing great things. Steve Slayton had already won off the NFL. First game of the year.

Or maybe Steve Slayton was just playing first half and then Noel was coming in second half or whatever. First game of the year. We're on, I think, our own 40-yard line. Pat White is in shotgun. This is Noel to his right, Jockers to his left okay this is the first time those two have been on the field their entire careers and it's like okay here we go we're gonna find out who gets the ball first because they're both on the field at the same time

jock has been winning in training camp jock has obviously been winning the first handoff goes right to noel divine sweep left he runs 60 yards into a touchdown jock sanders got no chance kids first time he touched the ball was a 60 yard touchdown it might have been an 80 yard touchdown it was something like that but it was literally the first touch noel one cut touchdown it's like jock sanders still standing that back like yo i thought i was gonna get this thing they ended up moving to play a little bit wide receiver right jock ended up moving to slot punt returner shit like that but all training camp running back he was the guy he went to play in philadelphia and i think he played in canada so i think jock played in the nfl a little bit but man

i was just like literally watching i was like well let's see what happens here and then noel house calls like oh jock there ain't shit you can do about that buddy there ain't nothing so much talent on that team we had a lot of fun. Were you the most successful in the NFL out of that team? Yeah, by far, yeah. I figured. Yeah, yeah. By far.

It was by far, yeah. Second was Owen Schmidt. Busting his head open. I was going to say, I can't miss his first start. Missed his first start because he bashed his head open with a helmet. What a human man. The NFL was good. Kansas City Chiefs were really fucking good at football.

I'm excited for that. What else happened? Anything? I think the Falcons have won three in a row. They're a little sleeper team for me. Watch the Falcons. Julio Jones scored his first touchdown. Week nine.

Yeah, but he's second in the league in yards in his first touchdown. Yeah. First touchdown in 355 days, it said. He has to go somewhere else, right? He has to want out of there after this season. They say he's a really good teammate, like wants to teach his teammates how to be better and shit like that.

But you can't be Julio Jones, be that freakish and that much of an avatar and not have a touchdown until week nine and not wonder what it would be like in other teams. Oh, yeah, for sure. And even not him, maybe his agent or his people just being like, you know, if we put you in a blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Before the season, he deleted all of his Falcons pictures off Twitter and he held out a little bit. But yeah, so it's definitely on his mind. The Rams will pick him up somehow. For sure. Somehow the Rams will get him. It's like the Warriors. Oh, the Vikings dominated the Lions. Yeah, the Lions are bad.

They're just not a good team, but it's okay. Panthers are 6-2. Did you hear that beta Lions shit over there? Well, used to it yeah i mean this happens every year did you see stafford like that lateral oh my god that's the most lions play in the history of lions oh that's whatever old corner cuz he picks it up rolls out of the pocket and then he tries to pitch it hits off the guy's head or something and then fumble scoop scoop, score, game over. What happened on Monday Night Football? The Titans actually pulled one out on a close one. Against?

The Cowboys. Really? The Titans did that against the Cowboys? Yeah. That's crazy. In Dallas or in Tennessee? It was a matchup of the number one and number two defenses in the league, so it went under too. I'm happy we hammered that under there.

Was it in Dallas or was it in Tennessee? It was in Dallas. It was in Dallas. And you think Tennessee edges it out there in the end? I do. You think old Vrabel gets a W in Jerry World? I think that. You thought.

I'm sorry. I thought that since they're both coming off buys and Vrabel is a coach that goes for the win and fucking mashed potatoes, white rice, plain oatmeal, Jason Garrett. Another award. Marvin Lewis. Who always plays not to lose. He just couldn't.

How did Mario Cooper do? They threw him two quick streams early, you know, get him loose, get him in the game. And then he didn't really do much after. It was weird. It was weird. He kind of disappeared in the game plan. I'll be excited to see how this one goes.

Diggs, thank you so much for your first off uh well that dude's the dumbest nfl i know insider oh hey i have one more question actually i got one more question sorry sorry is your blogging voice the same as your podcast voice or a little more sophisticated like when we read your blogs how are we supposed to read them yeah Yeah. It's not my podcast voice. It's definitely not my Heartland Radio voice. Okay. It's my, like it's more of a sultry. More sophisticated, you're saying. Slightly more sophisticated, definitely more sultry.

There's a little more earthy tones in my voice. Get the fuck out of here. Get the fuck out of here. Yo, that conversation was so good. Wow. Wow. Talking in sentences like that? Yeah, can't beat it.

Wow. Wow. The Ridge is a minimalist front pocket wallet that helps you re-evaluate your everyday carry. Launched by a father-son team and funded on Kickstarter in in 2013 the ridge now resides in the pockets of over a quarter million men and women that's almost 250 000 people just about the rfid blocking wallet is made by two metal plates either titanium carbon fiber or aluminum

Sitting on your wallet, I used to make fun of my old man for, like, you fucking old ass, you can't even sit on your wallet. It's a real thing. Now that I do it on my truck, I drive my truck. If my old wallet was a little thicker, I'd have it in my back pocket. I'd get up and I'd feel like I couldn't even walk. I felt like Pappy McAfee, how he was walking, but in real life. And now I got this front wallet from the Ridge that's absolutely incredible.

It really is. We try these things out. We try these things out. First time Ridge sponsored us, they sent a wallet to the office. Our sales guy at the time took it and told me he could give me a quote if I needed it. Do you remember that? Oh, yeah. Weird move.

Yes. And my myself for the last one probably wasn't as good because i didn't get to use it because it was literally taken from our mail by our sales guy because he probably worked the deal so it was probably his he thought it was his reward or whatever and then i had to read an ad saying we'll talk about using it it's like well it's tough because i have it somebody our sales guy just took it but now that i've actually got to use it all of us it is a game changer.

Also started blogging for basketball today.

Getting back into it. Who did? I did. What do you mean? Started a little basketball gambling blog. Because I bet on it every night. I don't understand why I don't talk about it. Because you're nowhere near a basketball person.

Excuse me. This is my second year with a fantasy basketball team. Second year, not first. So you're not a rookie fantasy basketballer No You're a real one I'm a real one I had a hockey fantasy league I'm not anywhere near to be a hockey guy

Are you still in it? Yeah, four years straight So You're in a hockey fantasy league right now? For four years and you don't know hockey? I'm not a hockey guy I just do it Who is somebody that's on your team right now?

Yep Yep Yep I'm not a hockey guy. I just do it. Who is somebody that's on your team right now? Yep. Yep. I usually go for Blackhawk players. Yeah, oh, is that right? Name a couple other than Patrick Kane. Taves. Who? Taves.

Okay, one more. There's a really long Russian one. Oh, yeah, is that right? There's a Norwegian guy. There's a Norwegian guy. There's a Swedish guy, too. There's a couple Swedish guys. Yeah, a couple Russians, a couple Canadians, too. I can confirm that. Oh, good, is that right? There's a Norwegian guy. There's a Norwegian guy. There's a Swedish guy, too. There's a couple of Swedish guys. Yeah, a couple of Russians, a couple of Canadians, too.

I can confirm that. Oh, good for you. So you're blogging about basketball? Yeah, I'm doing a little bit, yeah. Zito, have you blogged yet? Yeah, I have one blog coming out yesterday. What was it? It was our recap video.

It's titled... Oh, there we go. You guys went to TwitchCon. Oh, TwitchCon, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we scheduled you guys going to TwitchCon about two days before TwitchCon, so the prices for TwitchCon were absurd, but you guys went and did TwitchCon. I, TwitchCon. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we scheduled you guys going to TwitchCon about two days before TwitchCon, so the prices for TwitchCon were absurd, but you guys went and did TwitchCon. I thought it was Super Bowl ticket style.

It goes down. No, it went up. It went very much up, but you guys went and did TwitchCon. It was awesome. You guys enjoyed it? Oh, yeah. It was a very fun time. Dominated TwitchCon.

More like it. You think you guys won TwitchCon? Overall, yeah. I'd say we won for sure. Out of everybody at TwitchCon, you guys won TwitchCon? Who won TwitchCon? Ninja. Ninja won TwitchCon, because Ninja is TwitchCon. Yeah, I'd say we won for sure out of everybody at twitch gun you guys won twitch gun who won twitch gun ninja Ninja one twitch gun cuz ninja is twitch gun. He's like royalty when he walks in there So he has security guards around him. Oh, yeah. Are you serious family? Oh, yeah

Yeah, no one there was like this massive meet-and-greet right for for ninja not well for a lot of the big streamers But ninja got three lines to himself Usually usually it was like people were, to be honest with you. Usually it was like- And people were waiting in that line? Oh, yeah. Were you guys in that line? No. You guys are too cool for that.

Well, no, I'm not going to wait in a line like five hours. You both kind of responded. Well, you have to understand this is LineCon, correct? So when we look back, what is the biggest line at LineCon? The Ninja line. So TwitchCon is LineCon. You guys said you waited in lines just to wait in lines. Yes.

To get in. Yeah, to get in was the longest line of all time. Because this is where everybody who streams or plays video games flocks to experience, right? Big flock, yeah. And it's in one convention center? Yep. Very nice convention. Not in part of ours, though, over here.

But there's only a couple doors in, a couple doors out. And everybody from it. We're from Indianapolis flying two people out there. There's people flying everywhere to San Jose to get in that convention center. And it's just lines on top of lines. On top of lines. And the longest line was Ninja's line. Ninja's line, yes.

So at LineCon, the biggest line was Ninja's line. So you've got to envision this meet and greet, right? It's numbers 1 to 14. And so usually there's a different streamer at each little table but ninja was just at 14 but they opened up 11 12 13 14 for people to wait in line to get to ninja so that happens like wrestlemania for wrestlers wrestlers will have meet and greets things like that they'll have entire lines yeah but ninja is twitch yes he's the biggest promoter Did you guys meet Ninja? I met his brother See as a boss

As a boss I would say A win from TwitchCon Would be you guys Potentially meeting The biggest TwitchCon person I know Ninja's brother's wife Not a big deal No big deal

You rehearsed that Both of you Oh no we didn't No big deal I walked up to him I was like dude I know that guy He's in these girls

Instagram photos all the time And I walk up to him What? So you didn't, I know that guy. He's in these girls' Instagram photos all the time. And I walk up to him. What? So you didn't even know him from Ninja's thing? No. You just knew him from a girl's Instagram? Yeah, my ex-girlfriend went to college with this chick.

Yeah. Sounds pretty creepy out of this, you know? A lot of time. It's been a lot of time. We'll just skip right past it. We'll just skip right past it. So you recognize the guy from somebody's Instagram? Yep. They've been together for like five years, I guess.

So you go talk to me. Oh, hi. You know, insert name here of lady that I've seen you on Instagram for. I go, did your lady go to this college? And she's like, oh my God. Yeah. And it was from there. The lady said that?

No, I said to the guy. I was like, did your lady go to the college? And the lady is Ninja's. Sister-in-law? Is that how that, I never understand how that works. So that guy you were talking to is not Ninja's brother. Yep. It was Ninja's... Sister-in-law? Is that how that... I never understand how that works. So that guy you were talking to is not Ninja's brother? Yeah. It was Ninja's brother?

Yep. I'm confused what you're saying. Yeah, so Ninja's sister-in-law. Hey, I don't know. I never talked to him. But you talked to Ninja's brother and you said, do you know... Does your lady...

Did your lady go to St. Augustine? And he said yes. Yeah. And you said, oh, my oh my ex lady went there as well they were friends together yeah but you said you you met ninja's sister-in-law you met ninja's brother yeah no i said the lady would be his sister-in-law yeah yeah we can do simple math there but you were like excited about knowing you know ninja's brother that's a pretty big in i think that's that should be something maybe we go to.

Yeah, you know what? Ninja's on my shit list, though. He hates Portillo's. Oh, my God. This is why I don't invest into food, because a lot of things like this can happen with food, especially restaurants like Portillo's. You don't make fun of my food. So if Ninja came out and said he hated the Patriots,

what would you say? He kind of does. I mean, yeah, he's a Lions fan. Nobody's Lions fans. Ninja is a Lions fan. How lions fans ninja is a lion's fan how miserable is that what a miserable so what do you think happened with uh the twitch stream the batman extra twitch stream you think overall we learn more out of twitch con absolutely what did you guys learn what'd you guys learn a little about analytics a lot of analytics

marketing your twitch stream how to make your twitch stream better. So, you know, we're up there for two to three hours. It sometimes can get a little difficult, right? People are commenting, you're dying, it's not going well. Yep. But we learned, hey, these people are here to listen to you. They're here to watch, hold on, you. Oh. So you don't want to just...

Who was up on a stage telling you that? That was day two panel. Yeah, this is the day two panel. This was the let's get it going panel. You guys went to panels? Oh, yeah. Are you serious? Okay, so...

It was a little notepaper and you write notes. Okay, so they were motivating you to have more faith in you. Yes, and to be more, and to be, not just to have more faith in yourself, but to, you know, maybe like yourself a little more. Maybe enjoy who you are a little more. So Lion Con is a self-help seminar? I will say, if in the near future we're looking for motivational speakers, we might have a few on the list.

That's awesome news. Yeah. And you think that it was well worth the trip? Absolutely. Yes. I remember having Gamer Goo on. It ruined my hands that happened last week potential sponsors though no no they're not maybe not i don't really promote

things that i hate it's not my i think you need to give it a couple more tries you're not a controller guy though you don't like to have a control on your hand well the thing about me is like if i don't like something like yeah, yeah, it's over. Well, I'll tell you what. After I put the gamer goo on and I went to play basketball, I will say my handles were times 10. I felt like Kyrie Irving out there. You think of maybe placebo effect. Like, maybe you just feel like you're better. Maybe that's a self-help.

Maybe the gamer goo is a self-help. It's like putting on a costume and making yourself feel like you're stronger and faster and better just because you have the gamer goo on. All of a sudden, I can move. You just sold a product to me right there and I want to buy it now. Thank you. The Patriots are so good.

They're pretty good. Yeah. I mean, it's... Bears also very good. It's at the... Well... Bears crushed the Bills. I mean, it was unbelievable.

Oh, my God. The Bills? Wait, they beat the Bills? No, who'd the Bears beat? The Bills? Yeah, the Bills. Oh, my God. The fucking Bills. Holy shit. I, they beat the Bills? No, who'd the Bears beat? The Bills? Yeah, the Bills. Oh my god, the fucking Bills. Holy shit. The Bills were beatable either, and the Bears did it. The Bears are humble without Khalil Mack for the seventh

straight game. Yeah. That guy comes in wrecked shop on opening night and doesn't play again. It's an unbelievable 190 million guaranteed. That guy doesn't even play. He took three weeks off. I would too. This is like the middle of the tunnel of the NFL season. This is where rookies hit the wall because there's no end in sight.

And the beginning of the season was so long ago. Until week 12, it's a really tough time. Mentally, this is a very tough time for teams. I'm being serious when I say that. It is hard to get through this stretch of the tunnel. It's like, fuck. Here, I feel like, is, too, where all the questionable guys start sitting. Like, Gronk hasn't played in a couple weeks.

How about them just benching Gronk, by the way, going against the Packers. No respect for the Packers. Doesn't even fucking matter. Yeah, I did take the Pats 10 and a half last night. Alternate lines. These fucking alternate lines that Connor makes up. He's a maniac. I'm not making them up.

This is the website I've been using. It's so easy. It's the Patriots at home against Aaron Rodgers without HaHa Clinton Dix. Within the first quarter, their left tackle goes down. I wish I put $12,000 on minus 10.5. We did slam 6.5, though. The Patriots just seem as if they're always the Patriots. Always.

It never, ever stops. I mean, I think a lot of it does have to do with coaching. Yeah, what are you talking about? Sometimes when I look at it because our defense you know what i think i've decided well no well hear me out here hear me out here hear me out here we just don't give up any big plays and i don't understand why every team in the nfl is uh hey we're gonna not give up any big place and we're gonna keep everybody in front of us dude that's that was said 4 000 times at practices just keep everything in front of you no big plays that was said 4,000 times at practices. Just keep everything in front of you.

No big plays. Don't let the top off. And then all of a sudden, the middle of the game, it's like, yo, somebody let a leak out the roof there. There is somebody sprinting down the middle of the field there. I will say it's funny how our worst player is Devin McCourty's twin brother on defense. Twin brother. If you have a twin, you would want to be

equal to him, right? Jason McCourty's jockstrap was all over the field last night. And who was the guy's name, Ty, that was dominating him? Marquez Valdez-Scantling. He was making plays. That's like the one thing to be excited

about with the Packers moving forward. If he can kind of come up and Rodgers has another guy he's got chemistry with, who knows, maybe they'll win a couple more games. Are you miserable as a Packers fan? Yeah, but at this point I'm kind of to the point where it's just like I don't even give a shit because I don't even expect them to win anymore going into the games. I know they're going to get outcoached.

I know they're going to just shoot themselves in the foot constantly. And I actually wanted to ask you about this because I don't really understand the roughing the punter call. So on 4th and 21, I didn't know. I mean, everyone was bitching saying that was a bad call. In your eyes,

if you're punting, was that roughing or was that running into the punter? I feel like he hit him pretty good. He got him good. They kept talking like he didn't hit him. I thought they got him pretty fucking good. He definitely did. And the thought is with 24th and 21, you can go for it and you get a running into,

you can go for it. You can really go out, you know? So they have to, if you put eight men in a box, like you put pressure on the punter too, so it's not as good of a punt. Like that's the thought. But man, it seems like he hit him pretty good and i didn't like the way uh collinsworth and michaels were just acting like it was just a glancing shot it was like even after you see the replay the dude's plant leg was down he was getting his shit bent like if he get what does

he he has to get hurt for it to be right like what do you want from him you know i mean the thing was the way he hit him he was on his so alan's a lefty kicking foot so yeah he was on his kicking foot it kind of made it look like his shoulder hit his ass like up underneath almost even like the inside of the other thigh he almost hit of the plant like i don't know how it all works my issue though with everything with these announcers is they make a decision and then when they see video proof in front they refuse to get off it because it's like they have too much pride to be like well you know what actually i think i was wrong there there's none of that it's always like they're talking to make themselves right as opposed to something else and it's like that one i i did not

i didn't comment about on social media because i didn't know the right answer but in my head he got pretty he got hit pretty fucking hard. He did. What do you want from the guy? The guy has one leg straight up in the air, and he's jumping in the sky. There's a reason to protect his because that's a blown knee or anything. What happens? He has to blow his leg out for it to be a roughing?

I don't fully. No, I think if he was to fake it, if he was to fake it, if it was an acting thing, I hate that. I never did it. I don't respect people that do it. Granted, it gets you yards and first downs possibly, but it seemed like that was a real shot. It's like, what do these people want? What do you people want? You stole the first down from Hecker

and now this dude gets killed in the middle of the air and all of a sudden it's not. Get out of here. That's also just the Packers in a nutshell. Undisciplined, stupid plays. Who's that special teams coach? Ron Zook, that fucking idiot Wasn't worth a shit when he was the head coach at Florida Wasn't worth a shit when he was at Illinois

Listen to this Packers fan And again It's Rodgers window is closing So rapidly It's infuriating To watch seasons like this It sounds like you are not happy The Packers are one of the few things that bring me joy in life.

Sounds like it. One of the few. Yeah, exactly. And then when you have to just sit there and watch it, even when it was 17-17 and they didn't score before half or at least get any points up, it was just like, all right, you know, there's just no way they're going to win. They just had no shot.

They had that big stop, too. We were talking about that earlier. That fourth and goal stop they had, that was a season turner almost. And I would say game turner because, obviously, you get a goal line stop. That changes the game. Yeah, then Aaron Jones gets eight yards on the first two plays, and McCarthy dials up like a 60-yard bomb on third and two, and they have to punt, and then the Patriots come back and score.

Who's calling plays right now? Yo, J.K. Scott. It wasn't McCarthy, right? McCarthy's not calling plays. It's the guy behind him, or is it McCarthy? It's McCarthy. So, J.K. Scott, let's go on a little positive route for the Packers. They had a plane waiting for J.K. Scott to fly him home

just in case his wife had a baby. Yep. What's he going to do? Is he going to leave in the middle of the game? Yeah, I don't get that either. they said that they had a plane ready for him it's like what so the punter is just gonna leave at halftime that happens a lot doesn't it guys like expect their wives are expecting like during the season it's a it's a terrible thing because the families in nfl worlds are held hostage by the nfl you get traded you have to pick up and

move to another city your Your schedules are crazy. But it's a high-paying job, so it's just the way it goes. But you would hope that you time the birth for the offseason. There's a lot of that. There's a lot of conversations about that, about when you should try to impregnate somebody so you don't have to deal with it during the season. But yeah, guys going and seeing their wives,

normally they just choose not to go to the game. So if a guy is hell-bent on seeing his wife which by the way respectable if that's if it's a birth of your child you want to be there for it respectable for sure but you don't even go to the game then then it's like you know what i mean he's saying you were if you're a rookie punter and you're you're gonna leave the game at halftime i don't know if that's i don't know if that's 17 17 i don't know if that's a game who's? I don't know if that's right. Mason Crosby's going to step in there and try to punt? That's going to be tough to go back in that locker

room. Because the punter, you don't think about the punter until you lose him. And you have to have somebody go in there. Ryan Allen got hurt whenever we played him. They had Gostkowski punting. His first one was good and four were shit. We could have stole the game out of there, but it didn't happen. I didn't see how that was going to work.

Especially against the Patriots when field position is so important. It's everything. So important. It's all they care about. They care about technique football, basically. Field position, we're not going to make any dumb mistakes. We're going to do this. But, man, the trick plays are what's awesome with the fucking Patriots

is that they're willing to roll the dice. The old Edelman toss. The old Edelman toss. The amount of patience – we talked about this earlier. The amount of patience that took for the O-line just to stand there is absurd. It's absolutely absurd. How about the flea flicker? I've seen a lot of flea flickers, but he got the ball, did a little juke move to the left,

and then tossed it back. I don't know if you saw that. Yeah, so it sells it a little bit. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So it's not just like a handoff quick. He really held it. Yeah.

It's the Patriots being the Patriots. It's insane. And then they had the, like I said, the Edelman 37 yarder. The Pacers beat the Celtics the other night, though. So the Celtics suck at basketball. It sucks you guys are bad at sports. Hey, hey. We're fine.

It's early in the season. It sucks you guys are bad at sports. We beat Denver last night. Feel great about it. So I think we're, the Celtics. The Texans beat Denver too. Who cares? Denver Nuggets.

Oh, you're talking about basketball. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Big basketball guy. I forgot you were a basketball blogger. Huge, huge, actually. One of the bigger ones. Actually, tonight I got a couple picks here. This is Tuesday, not Monday.

Tuesday, not Monday. Bucks trailblazers over. Hawks Hornets over. Mavericks spread. Donkits just back. Lock them all in. I'm a big over guy now. A huge over guy.

I think every NBA spread over 230, I'm slamming it. If you think a team is going to score 115 to 115, then yeah, they'll probably put up 130 or something. They've been scoring a lot this year. At least that's how I'm thinking. Yeah, they've been scoring. So much this year. 230 is an over right now that you said is a lock?

The one that I had last night was 234, Pelican's Thunder. And you're like, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I'll take that. I think I'm going with the theory if the over-under is set at above 230. Which is high. Which is incredibly high. So if Vegas thinks there's a potential of them being this high, they're going to hit it.

Then, yeah, I'm just going to slam them. Anything that's over 230 as an over-under, hit it. So we're bankrupting my bookie. Bankrupting. Another bet that I think is pretty much a lock is today, Mike Braun over Joe Donnelly. Joe Donnelly's got no shot. Sleeping Joe.

I blocked this bet three months ago. I blocked this bet in three months ago. Bro, have you seen his story? You guys watched football with Me the other day. Those commercials on Joe Donnelly are so bad. Especially when they go back to his young photo. It's like, look at him now. He's fat and stupid and doesn't go to his meetings.

Listen, next year or next election season, it's going to be very difficult enough to take this money that they're throwing out for these political commercials. Imagine them sitting down at the production company and going, all right, we're going to destroy this guy. Okay, what are some ideas? No show Joe.

No show Joe. That's it. Oh, sleepy Joe. Some guy's on there. Well, he's actually my cousin, so I don't think I can make peace. I honestly don't know if Joe Donnelly's a good guy or not.

I have no clue. No idea. But he is getting murdered in these commercials, and I don't even know if he knows it. He has to. Yeah, his kids have to watch.

I wonder, he's had to see one. I wonder if his kids watch him. They're just sitting here and taking it, though. There's no real fight back. Why not? Why aren't they rebuttaling? They had him in an RV at one point, like, I'm traveling. It's like, yo, you need to get off that bus.

He's doing some damage control, Joe. They attacked his bus. They did a whole commercial with money flying out of him because he blows his money away in his truck. Yeah, they make him do a 12-point bus turn in it. They make him look like an idiot. Dude, he's got no... I'm telling you, it's... His chances are low.

There can't be any more savage commercials than those Joe Donnelly ones. The only way Joe Donnelly can come back is if he makes a Raptus, and that's the only way to win... Last week, he had a flub in the debate. Oh, no. and i'm surprised that it's probably in every commercial last night like we haven't gone home yet i'm i'm betting this is in every commercial from last night it should be really is that bad it was just dumb it was

just something he said that uh they asked about his um basically basically like ethnic uh support like how he supports ethnicities it was like our secretary of state is an indian american oh but he's so good at working oh oh the old but the old then he doubled down again he hit him with another one he was like our state um or our secretary of something is an african-American, but she works incredibly hard. You would never guess it. It's like, what, bro? That's the janitor in Billy Madison.

Like, Miss Lippy drives a green car. Oh, my God. It's like, dude. That's day one shit. Day one. It was in the debate, too. Sleep and Joe. Sleep and Joe.

Sleep and Joe. Good old Sleep and Joe. I'm sure his kids must have seen some of these commercials, though. I feel like they almost might hate him now. Last night during the first quarter of the game, it was only attack ads for commercials, just back and forth. It was just one would be for sleeping Joe, and then the next one was Mike Brown.

In his blue shirt. They're responding that he's wearing a blue shirt. I'm like, I don't think you guys are on the same playing field here. I wonder if everywhere is like this, though. It is. At least I know Iowa is like this, too. Iowa is a huge one, though. Oh, yeah.

Indiana is more important now. I don't think it's normally like this. Indiana is more important now. So it's like this vote. Iowa always matters. Iowa is huge. I've never been a part of anything like this. Because I think in Pittsburgh, when I was growing up,

I don't think Pittsburgh was a huge, like, we need the vote of Pittsburgh. So I don't think I saw a lot of the commercials. These commercials, if you don't live in an area that does this type of political campaign commercial, you are missing out on so much. Move to one now. It is worth it. Yeah, oh, yeah. Dude, these Indiana political commercials, you should go vote, by the way.

I've said it a couple times in this show. Go vote if you haven't. If you can, you should. These attack ads, dude, are next. It it's like local car commercials but they're making them against humans it's fucking incredible i don't know who makes them they are hysterical they're like anti-drug ads but against joe donnelly dude he was what inflatable hair whaley flacky guy at one point in the commercial it was insane dude what a luck i don't remember in massachusetts if they do that or not, honestly.

Growing up, I don't think it happened. They weren't this savage in Michigan, I can tell you that much. So Iowa, though, has always mattered. So Iowa, there's always the caucus, right? Iowa caucus or whatever. So Iowa has always mattered. It basically starts the campaign trail every year. Bro, Indiana has all of a sudden gotten really important in these voting.

And man, these commercials. They have to just be dumping money into these commercials. Oh, yeah. So I just want everybody to know everybody know next election season we are open for business you would like us to read ads because they're going to be paying so much money oh yeah oh yeah prime time spots on sunday night football patriots packers and it's just four commercials back to back like sleeping joe donnelly me Mexico Joe. I'm like, yo, how much money have you paid for these ads? First quarter, too, so you know everybody's out watching. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I often wonder the...

Price per slot? Yeah. The slot time? Right after the two-minute drill in the fourth quarter, two-minute warning. I assume that's a big time because they think it's going to be a close game, possibly. After Carrie Underwood? Yep. Definitely a big time. At the beginning, it's definitely a big time because they think it's going to be a close game possibly after carry underwood yep there's definitely a big time at the beginning it's definitely a good time probably right out of

half is probably a slow time i'd assume that's not that expensive of a time but it's i wonder what the price breakups are i would look at vegas like odds and see if it was like a plus one or minus one and bet fourth quarter and put it in the fourth quarter so i know it's gonna be a close game it says the average price there we go uhsecond ad is $728,434. That's national, though. Yeah. So let's assume that these campaign ones are just local. So local slots have a certain amount in the primetime game.

So the NBC local affiliate has a certain amount of minutes that they have in the national show, if that makes sense. Normally it might be a weather or a check check-in like tomorrow morning or this show but instead they just sell them to these local campaign you think they're there's no way they're paying 700,000 no but it's got to be probably like 50 a lot 50 70,000 it's got to be anywhere from 50 to 75 there it is did that just come out yeah so in my head that's what i was thinking yeah we could take a couple of them hey sleep and joe you missed it man we could have came back swinging for you we would have thought of something if you would have been fun

bro he's got no shot no shot he's been there for a little bit too so i mean you got to think if he's already been in office for a couple years, they're looking for someone. They normally have a, I don't want to say a target on their back, but normally the people, there's a lot of people that vote like, who's in there now? Oh, well, I want the opposite. Like, no matter what it is, who's in there now? That's been something. I enjoy the voting process, man.

It's insane. The competition to the top is just, there's nothing like politics. They're looking for volunteers right now to count ballots. Oh, I'm in. To count votes. Could you not cook those, though? Oh, yeah. Those are just volunteers.

That's the Italian in you, by the way. 0.009%. It's popping out now. But really, they were on the news looking for volunteers. Like, we need more volunteers to count ballots. I thought it was a computer. Yeah, but somebody has to put the ballots into the, like there's part, there's a hand to the machine.

Yeah, you put it into the ballot box. But also there are electronic ballots like Zito's saying, like where it's just a computer. Yeah, I've done that. Those are more rigged than the human ones. Yeah, those are the Florida ones, right? That was the Simpsons. Wasn't that the Simpsons?

Yeah. Where they pressed the one and the other one? Yeah, he kept pressing Obama and it just went to the other. John McCain. John McCain. Yeah, yeah. I want change, he said but it is it is very interesting because there are ballots that people put in i guess because they were showing people counting the ballots that they needed it was maybe an early entry maybe they send it in and they you just have these very i don't want to say basic looking people very basic looking people just reading a name and putting it in a

box i'm like wait a minute, bro. Could easily miss one. Well, especially in the political climate that we're in right now. Oh, yeah. We're in a wild political climate right now. With the caravan on the way. They're at Mexico City right now. I have a couple theories on that.

What if they arrive right on election day? And Trump's like, what did I tell you? What did I say? It's crazy. No one listened. This is a wild world. How fun would it be if he sleeps in for one of the debates or something? Who, Joe?

Yeah. He'd just be living up to his name. Sleeping Joe's got no shot. Good old sleeping Joe. I've never met Joe Donnelly. I've never met this man.y. I've never met this. His office is right downtown. Yeah, but he's in DC all the time, right?

So he's never, I've never seen Joe Donnelly at a Colts game. I've never met him before at anything. Normally people come through there. Like I've, I've met Mike Pence cause he came through. I've met a lot of these people. Joe Donnelly dies his hair too. Joe Donnelly never come through. I've never met him

and the only thing I know of him are these fucking commercials and it's like Joe I think they lost the campaign I think that's a campaign

though PR is a campaign right I assume it's part of it yeah he lost the campaign I think we'll see I mean maybe he wins what if he wins tomorrow

it's the biggest dog story in Indianapolis he's a favorite in the my book yeah I was gonna say typically i think this is what happens is the incumbent just gets attacked like crazy to try

to get him out of there but he's still got a stronghold on like a majority of the people voting so maybe this is me just being a rookie watcher here because i'm not used to this i'm really not used to watching this type of stuff because in my head i'm like okay i am just scoring this strictly off of these commercials. They changed my mind. That's how I'm looking at it, too. Joe's got no chance. No shot.

The only way he wins is if he gets like Bull on his team. That's the only way I can see it. He beat Dr. Bull like three, four months ago to come out and do a commercial. It's unbelievable. Mike Brown looks like Steve Hawkins, though. Steve Hawkins' wheelchair, right? Stephen Hawkins. Stephen Hawkins' wheelchair. I was close. Steve Hawkins. though. Steve Hawkins' wheelchair, right? Stephen Hawkins. Stephen Hawkins' wheelchair. I was close to him.

Steve Hawkins. Me and Billy Shakespeare. You're an idiot. Jesus Christ. Election Day is a crazy day. I'm excited for it. Oh, Stevie. Tonight, Seth Meyers is going live.

Colbert's going live. I think Fallon's going live. Everybody goes live. What, at midnight? Yeah, 11.30 or 12.30. Oh, okay. Everybody goes live. What, at midnight? Yeah, 1130 or 1230. Everybody goes live. A little election talk. Bro, if you watched, man, presidential election night was awesome.

Just as an entertainment person. Oh, yeah. A couple years ago? November? Oh, my God. Yeah. Dude, just the heartbreak from everybody on TV was next level. Utter shock.

Oh, my. Crying. There was people everybody on TV was next level. Utter shock. Oh, my. Crying. There was people crying on TV. Going to class the next day after that, they actually announced, the teachers, they're like, listen, if anybody here needs to see a peer counselor or anything because of what happened last night, we understand. They gave us sheets of paper. It's like, calm down, everybody.

It's the president here. It's the best, man. I'm just a person that enjoys entertainment. If you're on the left side of the table and you're dumb, I will say you are dumb. If you're on the right side of the table and you are dumb, I will say you are dumb. But from clearly an entertainment perspective,

watching all those suited and booted talking heads with makeup on and millions of dollars to talk about stuff just completely like it's the worst day of their life ever was awesome it's just from an entertainment value absolutely awesome I assume it's going to happen again I assume it'll happen again and you can always

get the other side of it too so like tomorrow if today's a big Democrat day go ahead and flip on Fox News tonight it'll be entertaining It'll be entertaining. It'll be entertaining. Is that how it works? It's just opposite? Oh, yeah.

Well, that's their only existence. MSNBC and Fox News existence is to be polar opposites of each other. The mainstream network, CNN, they have definitely leaned left since Trump has got in because I think they hate Trump. I honestly, I don't know why. All their articles online are very anti-trump they've completely alienated a part of the country now so now it's like it's become fox news versus everybody else and it's very it's a very notable balance a very notable battle i mean and if you just watch tonight depending on who wins go watch the other side oh it's the best just absolute

best hour Of free entertainment If Joe Donnelly wins what would be the title Like Joe Donnelly's awake now So if Joe Donnelly wins I want to watch his press conference Just to see what Sleepy Joe sounds like See if he's just hammered drunk That's what I'm imagining I'm imagining he's blackout drunk

Like how'd I do this Sleepy Joe Wait wait This is an acceptance speech How'd I do this? I won't. Sleeping Joe won. Wait, wait. I'm not. This is an acceptance speech, huh? Oh, my God, huh? I got to switch out the papers. Did he say a recap?

All right, I'll go talk, I guess. This was a recap. So, Joe, how are you going to celebrate? I'm going to take a big nap. Because tomorrow, they're talking about it being like a huge, just being a huge election day. They're like, this is a huge, huge day. Because it's got the implications for the next presidential election.

So this is big. This is left versus right today. It's a huge thing. That's what we call a swing vote. No, well, a swing vote would be one person in a panel of voters that would definitely have the way to persuade it one way or the other if it was tied up. Like Kevin Costner and his trailer, for instance.

Great movie, by the way. I'm happy we brought this up. Well, we didn't bring it up. You brought it up. That's gotcha media. Yeah, sure. I'm excited for it, though. Strictly from entertainment perspective, I'm telling you, tonight, put down

your sides of the table and just watch the loser's side and just enjoy it and just laugh because it is going to be electric no matter which way it is because both sides have been hyping this fight up this is like mayweather mcgregor this is like apollo and uh that other guy yeah this is in the the russian they have gotcha they've been hyping up this fight for a long time both sides have been amping up for this day there's people on msnbc and on

fox news who aren't asleep tomorrow is christmas for this tomorrow is the super bowl tomorrow is everything and just to watch the losing side have to go speak for four hours on tv they're forced to it's beautiful it'd be like if you force the losing team of the super bowl to everybody has to go on tv and talk for the next four hours. That's what it is. Terrible. Terrible. So whichever side you're on.

Yeah, this is the World Cup for politicians right here. Every two years. Yep. These midterm elections come around. Time to fire it up. I'm so excited. Yep. I'm so excited.

It's good shit. All right. Hey, you guys. Probably never get a Twitch con again, huh? Yep. I actually think it might be. I know. E3's around the corner and PAX.

It really might be worth it. I think so. There's a lot of good potential sponsors there. Yeah, honestly. We get our numbers up depending on where we're at. Well, you guys need to start believing in you. Remember, it's not about the games. It's about the people playing.

I need that reminder. Thank you. I'm going to like myself a little more tomorrow. Don't. There's not a lot to like over here. You should like yourself more. Yeah, we'll see you too zito zito thoughts one of my favorite accounts i've been supplying it a lot they're back i thought he died yeah what happened who was it i don't know that person doesn't understand they have a job yeah this is why you can't trust anybody outside

the office right there's a couple people so it's not someone in the office i don't know i've been tweeting it as if it's not somebody. Yeah, I've been DMing it. When I was at TwitchCon, I was just DMing it. Maybe it's Zito the whole goddamn time. Mastermind. It's like me talking to my thoughts. That's what he said last time about it.

The Bears are good, huh? Very good. All right, take a hike. What do you mean? Kyle Fuller's just tied the league. Interceptions. Suck it. Get the fuck out.

You too, Connor. Yeah, it's over. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's over. Hello, hello. Todd, incredible weekend by you. It was a fun weekend, buddy. Thanks for coming to the show.

Hey. Everybody thinks. Yeah, we all got a chance to go watch old Todd McComas, host of Heartland Radio 2.0 every Wednesday, Friday. We got a chance to watch him do stand-up this weekend. It's your first time doing a show in Indianapolis in a while. Yeah, I had a good minute. It was interesting.

Yeah? I laughed a lot. I had not seen a lot of your stuff. Towards the end, you wrapped it up with cop stories. I bailed out at that exact time. It was a good time, too. Thank you. Well, I heard you earlier in the show say,

I'll be wrapping up with cops. So as soon as I heard that, I was like, okay, as soon as he starts getting into his cop bits, I hope I've heard them. And that's when I know the show's wrapping up. I'm going to get out of here. But it was an awesome setup in there. And the new stuff, I laughed a lot.

Did you really? Yes. The word, I don't want to use it because it might ruin it. You can use it. Yeah. You used the word pure cat instead of talking about cougars when talking about older ladies yeah and i fucking i lost it almost fell off my goddamn chair you're you have such a good brain did you enjoy doing the two

shows in indie i i loved it and i love doing uh a full hour every now and then the grind of these guys that do it five days a week makes no sense it's exhausting like by the time just one show a night after an hour like my brain's just ready to fucking check and we're not talking about exactly like todd was in the marines he was a state trooper for a long time we're not talking exhausting like a bricklayer like i don't want somebody to be like you won't talk about exhausting it's just like that type of mental fucking work basically is what it is to keep it going is so interesting i mean you know you've done you've done hour and a half shows yes sets whatever like the the navigation that your mind goes through outside of just the words that are coming out of your mouth that the audience is hearing they have no idea what's going on in their brain

during that hour-long set dude you probably talk for four hours in an hour and three hours of it is to yourself you know what i mean no no no no because in the brain you're trying to be a sentence ahead yes so in my brain i'm trying to be a sentence ahead or two sentences ahead so the sentence that's coming up next that thing has already been thought about five seconds ago so i'm just hoping that the brain does whatever the brain does and like gets it out of my mouth. And then I think of something I'm like, Oh,

this punchline would be good here. And now I'm trying not to laugh. I'm two seconds ahead. I'm like, Oh wait, I got a sentence coming though. I'm going to make sure I don't ruin this. It is a mental gym,

gymnastics. And then you'll have like a show Saturday night, right? But I think you left before she got too bad, but this lady was just getting loud. Oh, yeah. Loud and talking. Just after every single thing I say,

oh, you're just great. You are. Thank you for protecting our community. Just as loud as she could. So the whole time I'm thinking of ways to fucking shut her up without pissing her off in the crowd off yeah the whole time yeah there's a couple people that wanted to talk to you yeah it's cool though i mean it's like it's almost you hope it doesn't happen because it definitely interrupts a show

that people are paying to watch yes but on the other hand it's like i understand you are excited to see us so let's have a conversation so it's it's one of those, it's like live by the sword, die by the sword. Exactly. You'd rather them just be a fucking asshole so you could yell at them when they're nicely disrupting the show. Oh, Mr. McComas. Yeah. Is there any way we can maybe talk about it?

Maybe I'll get there. Yeah, I enjoy it. I thought you did very well though oh thanks buddy you have a lot of courage talking about some of the stuff you're talking about up there though i want to let you know that on the um with a uh with a see as a guy who has a lady that lives in oh yeah there is some things you talk about that i'm like yo this guy has got the fucking gut sack of uh of of dana holgerson who called dad go for two with 18 seconds left in tech the amount of gut sack you have to have up there to tell some of those

stories is incredible it's a real conversation that she and i had i could imagine i was like hey i have some of the like i was like hey obviously i had a life before you but it's uncomfortable still to hear about like i don't want to hear her talking about right dude she's had sex on a stage in front of 100 people i was i was sitting there like yo todd has got this courage that i could never even fathom that's why he's a marine though interstate trooper something i could do the show is incredible oh thanks very you should be very proud of that hour. We should record that hour, actually. I think it's a good one. Yeah, I'll tighten it up a little bit.

The cop stuff without, like, I finally got to the point, I think, where I can feel a good hour without any of the cop stuff. So it can, you know what I mean? It can go away. People, every now and then, if they want to hear one, whatever, throw it out. But I started to tell them one of those stories, and that lady threw me off, and I forgot the joke. Oh, no. I forgot the story.

What night, Friday or Saturday? It was right after you left on Saturday. Okay. It was an old story about my buddy Phillip Stoops. It was a true story about him calling in a drunk driver, and I answered the phone, and it's this whole thing. Oh, yeah, yeah. You fucked with him.

Yeah, I fucked with him, and she was talking, and I got lost in the middle of it because i was there for that you're it oh yeah dude i thought i saw you working up there i saw the eyes going yeah i saw i saw you working up there you got to it though yeah you got finally but it was uncomfortable dude for about a good what 30 40 seconds i was like i don't know what comes next if it means anything we didn't even notice i didn't even notice okay good i saw even notice. Okay, good. I saw you struggling. Yeah. So I saw the brain working, and I didn't know what it was, but it didn't come off.

You should feel good about it. Okay, good, because I was shitting my pants for a second. You said something after she interrupted you, and it fucking killed me, and I can't remember what it was. You said it to the whole audience. Does anyone else want a minute up here or something? Oh, yeah. You said you had a classic stand-up comedian. It was so funny, though. When here or something? Oh, yeah. You said you had like a classic stand-up comedian.

It was so funny, though. When she was yelling, oh, yeah. When she kept yelling out Louisville, Louisville. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anybody else want to hammer home some words? Yes, yes. That's what we need to pronounce differently. Yeah, anybody want to hammer home some words?

Geez. I thought it was a good show. It was fun. The Saturday was a very, you're very much into Mixed Martial Arts. So I'm learning that with the blog. The blog, right, I'm learning a lot about people. So Todd is writing very heavily about the UFC mixed martial arts because that was something you're very into.

Yes, and I like getting back into it because I used to be like knew every fighter, everything that was going on with all of them. How come? Why is it you did jujitsu or whatever? Yeah, I did. I was always a fan of it. I always wrestled in school. So when the sport first broke out i saw it on accident i saw the very first ufc live on accident on a satellite dish at my friend's house and it was the craziest fucking thing i'd ever you were just hooked yeah and i was like i am in love

with this so i never missed one for years after that so i just i was always reading about the fighters i was watching every fucking minute of TV they were on or whatever. And then I just kind of took a little break because the UFC, in my opinion, got watered down. And I couldn't pronounce half the names anymore because everybody's from Brazil or whatever. Hey, learn fucking English. Hey, I'm going to watch this. I would like to know the guys' names. And women's names.

Yes, yeah. So I just kind of lost track. But now I'm getting back into it because you let me talk about and write about a little bit so you've been writing about it a lot love it i love it yeah you've been writing about a lot ufc had a big one cormier and uh the black beast will lewis derrick lewis yes um everybody kind of knew what was gonna happen there right yeah on paper he was supposed to lose and he did but the only thing what i thought i kind of thought he had a chance to catch Cormier.

So that's what you said about Matreon, though, with Bader. It's like if he has a fighter's chance, because if he lands something, he's good. Yeah, it's because they have such knockout power. But no, it worked out the way it was supposed to, and he held him down. The only difference, like Bader, Ryan Bader, I'm not a fan of him because he just holds people down. That's what happened to Matreon. But if you hold somebody down and you continue to strike and work to finish them like comie did i'm okay with that you are a fan you are okay with um cormier basically in his fighting style yeah how about afterwards when i say he wants to go take

wwe belt too or something like that? The hype is so big. This is the first time WWE and UFC are pushing a fight. Yes, together. And it's brilliant for the UFC because there's nothing bigger than WWE. Agreed. Worldwide, yeah. And UFC is not where it needs to be yet. It's growing every year.

You think Vince McMahon's getting a part of this? I hope so because it will only make the UFC better. So this is like Dana White got money with the Mayweather-McGregor thing. Mayweather's back in the news. We'll talk about that in a second, but Mayweather-McGregor, Dana White got a piece of that action too.

Do you think Vince McMahon and Dana White are teaming up here? Okay, Vince McMahon's like, yo, my guy's Brock, your guy's Cormier. Let's put this together. Let's figure out a negotiation how we can promote this.

Because normally when Brock goes to fight, he disappears from WWE for years. Now he's put this together. Let's figure out a negotiation, how we can promote this. Because normally when Brock goes to fight, he disappears from WWE for years. Now he's still making appearances. He just won the belt again. He didn't even have the belt. He just won the belt. And he's going to fight for the UFC belt two months later. And he looked like he was 220 pounds.

He looked very small. Yeah, he did. But he's still a monster. Would not want to mess with Brock Lesnar. But compared to WWE Brock Lesnar, he's very small because he's in the USADA. that means he's taking steroids but there's probably some stuff supplements that he can't take that aren't technically illegal but they're against the usada i would never say anybody's taking shit if i didn't know it but it's almost it feels as if

paul heyman who's the best promoter in the wwe is promoting this fight he's tweeting at cormier cormier is tweeting back. There's a lot of cross-promotion happening. This seems like this is a way for UFC to earn back that billion. And that's what I was going to ask you because I don't think it's Vince McMahon. I think it's one of the newer minds.

Vince McMahon is the guy. If it's going to happen, Vince McMahon's going to win. Do you think it was his initial idea or do you think it was Heyman or his son who were like, hey hey we know what we should do is maybe embrace this relationship a little bit and help them i wish i knew more i wish i knew more about the behind the scenes stuff but i think paul hammond might be the guy who mentions it would be great after talking paul hammond down wrestlemania it seems like he kind of does what he wants to do so if he's doing something it's probably his brock's the guy so yeah so maybe the idea

was hey we could probably negotiate a pretty pretty good deal here if we just kind of cross promote this yeah and if you think about it when a ufc fighter is past his primer ready to step down from mixed martial arts if he is pop a really popular guy and can transition into the wwe that helps them yeah you you look at shana baszler right now who's the nxt women's champion i believe i believe she's still a champion she's former mma you got ronda rousey former mma brock lesnar has been in the mma you got a lot of the riddle matt riddle at nxt he's a former uh mma fighter there's a lot of ex mma people that are coming into wwe and i think it's i think it's better i think the pipeline

from usc to wwe might be better in the ring right then like for nfl to uh because they had this big initiative to push an nfl pipeline basically into the wwe like hey when your nfl's career is over come on it same thing you have a roman reigns it's what happened with a lot of the guys right athletes come over there and i think they're kind of starting to do that with the mixed martial arts as well The only thing that might lack is the microphone that might be the only thing is Ronda Rousey in the ring is one of the best Female wrestlers I've ever seen in my entire life. She is her debut was incredible. She knows how to roll. She got leverage She understands all of it It's just like guys who wrestle in high school are better at professional wrestling later on because they know leverage and roles and stuff like that.

It's just whether or not the microphone can work. It's going to be tough. There won't be very many. Komi, I think, has the right mind and voice, but he doesn't have the body. He looks like a dad. You know what I mean? He's a double champ right now in the best fighting organization in the world. He's a two champ, and he looks like Gary Brackett.

He does. He looks just like Gary Brackett and he looks like gary brackett he does he looks just like gary brown looks like gary yes and it's almost it makes it more relatable but when it comes to like a fear factor it's yeah it's like yo i hope that i never run into a human that's built like you and i accidentally disrespect him somehow and get fucking tackled tapped out knocked out at the same time easy to do for a decent sized guy to be like, oh, whatever you pudgy fuck. And then break your fucking neck. I watched him train at Jay Glazer's gym when he was getting

ready for Bones Jones. And his shirt said, I break bones or something like or I break bones. And this guy walked in and I'm like, who the fuck that guy? Because I just partied with Jon Jones like two weeks before that in Baltimore whenever he was messing with. And I was like, that guy, is that a guy's trainer? He's like, no, that's the guy. I'm like, that guy is that a guy's trainer he's like no that's the guy I'm like that guy wants to fight John Jones he's

like yeah I'm like I just don't know I don't know if that guy knows and then it turns out he's now the double champ I was completely wrong he's the most non-assuming person I've ever seen in my life he never beat John Jones no and he never could there's no way he could ever beat John Jones but for him to be the second toughest light heavyweight and also the toughest heavyweight right now is pretty impressive. Yeah, but the light heavyweight and heavyweight champion are about to be the same people in Bellator, too. Bader's about to be double light heavyweight and heavyweight champ. It's almost like, is it hurting that they're having the people wrestle and fight in both or should they keep them in their own divisions because if they're both if both fighting organizations have the light heavyweight and the heavyweight champ the same person

is there really a difference well this is what i truly think is going to happen in january uh i am a big comie fan but i'm also a huge brock lesnar fan i really think brock lesnar is going to beat him really and brock Lesnar's going to be the heavyweight champ, and then you'll see Komi just kind of stick to light heavyweight forever. How old is Brock? He is 41. Brock Lesnar's

41 years old. Komi is 39. And he's putting himself through a fight camp right now. Yeah. Just ready to go to actual war. That is incredible to me. He took a four-year layoff after being the champ. He came back and beat, you know, he beat somebody. Cain Velasquez.

Yeah. No, he lost to Cain, but he came back and beat somebody. Anyways, he just puts his big paws on people's face. Yes. And he can wrestle. He's a Division I champion wrestler, a heavyweight. And then he

adds another element, which is weird because it's mixed martial arts. He's the only guy I know who has his own martial art and it's just superhuman fucking strength. It's really like its own fighting form almost. He is freakishly strong.

He can just hold people down. Like Cormier is a little meat muscle, I assume, at wrestling. But Brock can manhandle him if he wants to. Yeah, and he has this thing that nobody else has where he, and guys that have fought him have said this, like he literally can peel your arm back when other guys, like not even be in the best position just out of pure strength peel your arm back away from your face and knock you out

with a six inch punch like he's that fucking strong because his arms his hands are so heavy yes such heavy hands so brock lesnar's heavyweight champ in a little while i think so i i hope so because that's going to be the best thing that ever happened. Okay, and Mayweather now just got in the news. He's fighting a guy in Japan. Yeah. And that's going to get all the downloads in Japan, I assume.

What a genius idea. He's going to crush. There was a bunch of people. I saw the tweet that announced it. There was a bunch of people giving gifts like, who, who, who? And it's like,

you watch highlights. That guy sells out arenas in Japan. Yeah, he's like the wonder boy over there. Like, he's the hottest thing going. Genius for Floyd Mayweather. We can't say it enough. He is very punchable human being. Very. Very hateable human

being. But when it comes to promoting himself and marketing himself and cashing out on it, he is a genius. He makes money like nobody's ever made money. I mean, it's incredible. Like, to find this deal, and he's fighting mixed martial, he's signing with a mixed martial art organization,

but I noticed that he said, well, we haven't established the rules yet. You know what the rule's going to be. It's boxing. No kicking or takedowns. It's going to be boxing with smaller gloves, which is awesome for him. Yeah, because he can land them.

Yeah, and the other guy can't. And the other guy won't be able to hit them. No. So Floyd Mayweather is now going to beat the best guy at the time in UFC. He's going to beat the best guy at the time in the Japanese thing. And then Floyd's just going to be able to roll into a Russian one. Yeah, that's what he'll do. Or China or something like that.

He should fight Jake or Logan Paul. He really should. Yeah, but they're huge compared to him. It would make so much money. No, I'm saying they're 230 pounds tall. Weight-wise? Yeah, there's no way they could get down to 140 or whatever it is. Yeah, because Logan Paul's like 6'2".

There's no way those dudes can get down to 140. No way. Isn't that when he fights at 135 or something like that? Yeah. 150, I think. 150 is lightweight, right? Yeah, I'm pretty sure he fights at 135 or something like that? Yeah. 150, I think. 150 is lightweight, right? Yeah, I'm pretty sure he fights at 150 or 155. Whatever it is, there's no way Jake or Logan Paul.

No, because I think Logan Paul walks around at like 205. Jake Paul said he wanted to go after Jake or Logan. Jake, I think. Dear Dylan, Austin Dylan. Oh, Dylan Danis. Dylan Danis. There it is. Austin Dylan is a NASCAR guy.

Dylan Danis. He said, i want to beat your ass or something and bellator responded the owner of bellator was like uh let's talk if you're under a business partner and jake paul should be like uh you could talk to my business hey uh good good one bellator uh well you talk to my people actually that's hilarious if he does fight that's a huge the paul brothers i think want to get into fighting they really do i think they miss it almost there's a video online of the younger one um jake fighting an mma guy and i think he got beat in the fight but he is holding his own

i watched that boxing video of him when he boxed that other guy was it good yeah it was pretty impressive this all the dramatics they went into it was pretty insane i've never seen it yet the paul brothers have quite a operation one million buys wait logan paul fought that chaos how much was it at ten dollars hilarious well that's hilarious self-made that's like floyd mayweather yeah it's exactly like floyd mayweather selling their own stuff it's's incredible. But instead of charging $50, they charge $10. Yeah, make it affordable. That would be the difference between Floyd Mayweather and the Paul brothers, which will probably happen in a couple years.

They're probably up into $50. It's insane. Yeah. So Brock Lesnar's heavyweight champ. Mayweather's going to beat this dude in Japan. Yeah. What else? Cormier is going to be light heavyweight champion.

Is he going to go to WWE, you think? I think so. He's 39 now. He might go for another year, maybe two, to WWE, you think? I think so. He's 39 now. He might go for another year, maybe two, and then, yeah, he makes it over. Cormier, not Cormier, Conor McGregor, you think he does anything? What, has he got four more fights or five more fights in the UFC? You think he wins any of them?

Yeah, I think so. They'll give him a matchup with... I don't know if he wins any. You don't think so? Dude, that is a sport where you have to be uncomfortable. That's why I'm so impressed by Brock Lesnar. He's been so rich for so long, and he's still able to train at 6 a.m. and still able to do three cardio sessions a day.

It's very difficult when there's a yacht waiting for you to want to do the miserable work that the fight game requires. Brock Lesnar is like, he's a fucking shark. He has those instincts. I've never seen anybody in my life. He also lives in the woods, too. There's not a lot of distractions. He lives up in the woods. He goes train in the woods

in his little barn like a madman, like Rocky fighting the Russians. In the middle of Canada. Why, dude? You have so much money. But he has that desire at all times to be the best. And there's nobody like that. He said he has to climb up a pole to get phone service. He lives out in the middle of nowhere.

He has to climb up a pole to get phone service. Oh, my God. I don't know how the WWE land a plane then on his plane. He's like, oh, guess I got to go. Like, how does he even know? He lives out in the middle of the wilderness, I guess. Yeah, it's crazy. That's like Conor he even know he lives out in the middle of the wilderness i guess yeah it's crazy that's like connor would have to go live out in the middle of the wilderness i think i think you do have a good point on connor it's this is going to be the beginning of the end did you guys see that picture it came out he was smoking a coin

cone joint or whatever i don't know if he's actually smoking it but he definitely was i'm just saying like not that smoking is an issue not at all not at all not that having a proper 12 whiskey company is an issue right but in that fight game i feel like discipline is the biggest part of all of it it's all of it and it's very difficult to have a lot of discipline when you have a hundred million dollars when you were completely broke before that yeah because it's just like the nfl the the level of separation between top tier and the next tier is so small. It's so marginal that it's all mental. Like you think Khabib, who's got absolutely nothing in Russia, basically. He's rich, I assume, but he's got nothing compared to what Conor McGregor is.

You think Conor McGregor out-trained Khabib? Do you think that happened? No way. No way. Do you think somebody who has $100 million, and I'm not saying this as a shot if i have 100 million dollars it's gonna be hard to find me too it'll be hard to find me but you think somebody who's gonna go into a gladiator cage is gonna train harder than somebody who has no money no no way to chip on the shoulders a real thing and once you get 100 million and you're a broke kid it's like it's hard to have a chip on the

shoulder when it seems like i've conquered the fight game he said the only way you win in this game is you you are me or you fight me basically it's the only way you win it was his last instagram post and it's like he'll continue to rack up money but i don't think it's going to be wins you're right he'll never get the belt again that's what i'm saying i don't think it'll be wins yeah i don't think it's going to be wins i think it's going to be unless they give them some but it's hard it's going to be hard marketing proper 12 whiskey which is an alcoholic thing which already ruins your muscles let's sorry let's we don't have to get into the science but i mean george kittle said the reason why i got this you stop drinking as much so let's just assume that him pushing proper 12 whiskey he's not drinking it nearly as much as

we think he is let's assume that that is the case not that it isn't a good time alcohol though does not help you physically it is not something helps you physically no let's assume having a yacht at your dispense at all times isn't hurting him at all let's say it's helping him somehow then how do we how do we get him not walking into that mansion with a rolls royce when in his documentary he was in like a little fucking cubby hole? How do we have him not get comfortable and do that? It's like there's no way. No, there's no way. That documentary, dude, that guy was in that documentary,

was the hungriest fucking animal in the pack. Hungriest. There's no way now with this much money. How could you be? Yeah. Because everything you were hungry for, you got. Yeah, money how could you be yeah because everything you were hungry for you got yeah everything everything you were hungry for you got you were known as the best fighter on earth at one point you made 100 million dollars at one point everybody knows your name and

likes you what else could you possibly want well i want that ufc belt one more time okay it'll happen that's gonna be maybe it does though maybe he has a moment like where maybe he has a year maybe he loses a couple fights and he's like that's not me anymore you know like maybe he has a moment like where maybe he has a year maybe he loses a couple fights and he's like that's not me anymore you know like maybe he hits like somehow he finds a rock bottom to hit yeah but i don't know how it's gonna happen when you have 100 million dollars he could spend 90 of it i guess yeah i don't i guess yeah like the mike tyson yeah and then they have to come back hungry well i don't know it didn't work for tyson either though he's in movies he's good at movies yeah maybe conor mcgreg He's good in movies Maybe Conor McGregor

Would be good in movies Fight games Is an interesting world I'm happy you're Inside of it Yeah it's fun man How should we read Your blogs

Get yourself a little gravelly. I get a little part of it. The way my voice sounds, I have a little bit of that attitude behind my writing.

So we're just reading your voice. Yeah, I think so. Thank you, Todd. Man, these conversations have been top of the line. You just can't beat them. I'm just can't beat them i'm pretty proud of us not bad i'm pretty proud of us bloggers now in the office bloggers late night conversations

here for the podcast to launch early in the morning political pundits huh political conversation i mean we've given uh bets locks we've told people to tweet to be part of chat with Pat. There's an end game coming up. That's a good time. This show is really just a one-stop shop for anything you need. All of it. You know there is a loan company that is a one-stop shop for anything you need as well. And it's Upstart.

Upstart has revolutionized how we borrow money by going beyond the traditional FICO score to offer personal loans, taking into account factors like job experience and education when determining your interest rate.

It's efficient tomorrow and you know it doesn't have to be for anything it could be for anything you want get a loan for anything you want to buy a new tv get a loan you want to maybe do a little wedding wedding get a loan you want to buy a new TV? Get a loan. You want to maybe do a little wedding wedding? Get a loan.

You want to maybe consolidate some debt? Get an upstart loan. Upstart loan is money for you the next day after you get approved, and they go past the traditional FICO score. That's why their interest rates aren't crazy. Financial freedom can look awfully bleak when you have high interest debt. And if your FICO score isn't great, it can make breaking out of that revolving debt cycle harder than it needs to be.

But with that joke I just said, it's definitely going to be talked about later. It's a good show though. A man that was at the show, a miserable man, Nick Morota.

How's it going, Nick? It's all right. Intro, I don't know if the intro for you was as good as it should have been right there. I would agree. I just kind of let it fly there. It's kind of negative. What have you been up to? Hanging out.

What have you been up to? Living. Do you enjoy the blogging world? I do. What do you blog about? A little bit of everything. Some hockey talk, of course, you know, for the people. Dang, nobody reads them.

Well. Which site is it live at? We don't know. It remains to be seen. for the people. Nobody reads them. Excited he's in a live yet. We don't know. Remains to be seen. I'll be excited to see, because we'll be able to see all the clicks. A small but vocal minority, let's call it. As long as it's an active group,

that's all I care about. That's like my followers. I don't have most followers, so I got an active group, so it's good. I like them a lot. What do you want to talk about today, Bob? I want to talk about some things

that happened over the weekend and today. Okay. Mostly in the realm of despair, disgust, and death. Good. A little bad news, Nick. Awesome. That sounds like a great time. I mean, we're having a good day in here.

A lot of good things. George Kittle had a great interview. Diggs and Todd really broke a lot of things down. Now a little despair, disgust, and discomfort. Death. Despair? No dismemberment this week, but, you know. This week?

There's still time. Okay, let me hear how my day is being ruined. Well, Saturday is about to get a whole lot more boring for you and the rest of America and all the older folks. Even Canada, too, because Lowe's is closing like 50 stores. Lowe's? Lowe's is like the do-it-yourself store, right? The DIY? Nobody does their shit anymore. Great place to spend a weekend. No more. Who, did you really ever go into Lowe's?

Yeah, my dad. You know my dad. Construction. Yeah, did some construction work. He's a concrete guy. So, you know, I spent a few weekends in Lowe's walking around, following him around. I was a Walmart kid. I'd go to Walmart, not Lowe's. I think that's the difference between like crossword and word search people too. Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune people. You know what I mean? There's two different types of people. I was a Walmart guy. Let me mosey around, stare at the people, look at the things. Never really got into Lowe's.

I mean, to be honest, I was a Home Depot guy for a long time. Oh, Home Depot. Still thriving, by the way. College Game Day brought to you by Home Depot. But Lowe's came in and kind of stole their thunder, put up a bunch of stores, and then seems like they overexpanded. Shot their load a little bit. Oh, that's what happened to Lowe's? That's what it sounds like. It's a real shame. Home Depot. But Lowe's came in and kind of stole their thunder, put up a bunch of stores, and then seems like they overexpanded. Shot their load a little bit. Oh, that's what happened to Lowe's? That's what it sounds like. It's a real shame. Home Depot.

OG still standing, though. Because that house was built on brick and stone. That's why. You know what I mean? A home is made of love alone. That was the only poster we had up in the house. A house is made of brick and stone. A home is made of love alone.

Sally put it up right in the middle of the living room. I don't know what that means. Sally's the least like that poster I've ever seen in my life. That was touching. This next one is going to be tough to follow. What is it? A newlywed couple died in a helicopter crash as they left their wedding reception. Yikes.

Where'd that happen at? Texas. RIP to Will Byler and Bailey Ackerman Byer. She didn't even get to change her name. Oh, she did, I guess. Yeah, technically. Not legally. What happens obviously the whole party watches happen. I didn't get that

many details, but that would be... I've always been against helicopters. I've always been against them. You're fighting the air at all times but on your big day the grand exit we are now husband and wife all these years and years of pressure to get engaged and in pressure to get married here we are and it all just goes down it's one way out i don't think you should just be trying to hop on helicopters now because you heard somebody died on one I mean not for me I'm good right now but you know

you're talking about till death yeah till death do them part that's a shame man that sucks so bad because they're probably really good people too paying for a helicopter they probably do pretty well let's assume and then just on their wedding day

I love you I love you well I saw you posted that plane today that was trying to land, and then it hit the car, and the wheels came off. Are those people alive? Yeah. Okay, good.

Everyone lived there. I don't know how, by the way. Did you see that? We got yelled at. That one horse video. Oh, yeah. She's okay. There are still conflicting reports on that.

Yeah, there's one person that tweeted, that's my cousin. She just broke her neck. I don't think so. That looks like a death potential the internet is filled with death i did not see the plane busted it's wild you never see those planes fail on those like road landings there's always a success story sully's successful denzel was drunk and successful university of michigan had a plane that went up came down but it was okay so it was safe yeah, there's always like there's panic,

and then it seems like planes survive. Yeah. Helicopters, though. Not so much. Seems like they do not. I don't know how Leonardo DiCaprio made it that one late night whenever he flew into his house there at Wolf, when he was off of Wall Street.

Because helicopters are nuts. I don't think there's something to fuck around with. They're not sturdy. I think Bill Burr flies helicopters. He does. I watched his Instagram today, and it was him hopping behind a helicopter i'm like bill burr flies he's a big proponent of helicopters he always said uh if the apocalypse apocalypse comes or if there's some type of zombie massacre or something it's an easy way out

up and then you're out to where you can just hover okay he's gonna siphon gas out of the earth i mean you buy yourself a little bit of time at least. Helicopters seem like the last thing you should get into. No, I agree. Big, big airplane guy. Not sold on helicopters. I'm a big walking guy. I like walking.

I like cars. Scooters? Scooter. I'm a big scooter guy. I love them. I love scooters. If I could get on a scooter right now, I'd get on a scooter. So much fun.

They're so much fun. They're so safe, too. They're just a good way to get from one point a to point b so easy very cheap i wrote a blog about that that'll be out soon for you what are you talking about scooters scooters doing what scooters and self-awareness mostly was the was the theme what are you talking about you know how basically to take a look and realize like maybe this isn't the best situation for me. Maybe as an individual who's not really done a lot of athletic things lately, in the past couple of years, just kind of been sitting around,

just collecting weight. Kind of like a bag of bones. Losing your coordination. Yeah, you kind of look like a bag of bones. It just degrades over time. If you don't use it, you lose it. Exactly. And then you get a little intoxicated and try and jump on one of these things and think

you're 16 again. Try to be Tony Hawk. Yeah. You're just going to rip up the streets. I'm the Tony Hawk on my lime scooter. And then clavicle. How about Roethlisberger having a real strong clavicle? Guy took that tackle.

I thought he was a... Diggs took a shot at you out of nowhere. Unwarranted. Thank God Ben's clavicles are stronger than Nick's or something. Well, I mean, I agreed, but it was pretty clear he just had the wind knocked on him. He stood up and he was like shaking people's hands, the doctors, moving his arms around. That moment, though, of you got it. Is there any feeling closer to death?

It is close to death. That could be a part of this despair, death, and disgusting. Plus, like, the worse Ben makes it it look the better he is yeah he comes back and throws a hail mary basically deep ball down the right side good get the paul pierce handicap wheelchair off the goddamn thing then you're ready to go do you have anything else that's miserable i mean this show was a good show until you just brought it down oh yeah here's some more uh came down like the air force's falcon mascot was seriously injured in a prank. Some Army cadets tried to steal him, and they did something, and they broke one of his wings.

Now he has to be euthanized. Why would you tell us? You could have just told the story without that last line. Now I've got to think about some Falcon dying. These are the hard truths we have to live with. We don't. We don't just. Well, the Falcon doesn't.

We do. Just turn it off. Oh, my God. All right. Your boy Pete Davidson got himself into some more shit over the weekend. Doing what? He criticized a guy running for Congress because of his eye patch. Oh, yeah.

Navy SEAL. Yeah. I saw him trending today, and I just saw a Navy SEAL tweeting about him being a douchebag. And I didn't really fully read into the whole thing. What happened? So he, let's say a little risque of a joke. Some people like the dark humor like that. But this one didn't fly so well.

He's getting a lot of backlash because they brought him up, and he said, this was the exact quote. Pete said, you may be surprised to hear he's a congressional candidate from Texas and not a hitman in a porno movie. Is Pete Davidson ever been funny, though? Like, what is Pete Davidson? Ariana buried him, too, because he said he did a promo asking something like saying something like 0 for 3 or something with marriage. Yeah. And then she tweeted out, for a guy who claims to hate relevancy, you should love clinging to it. And then she released that song, too, right before and relevancy you sure love clinging to it. She released that song too right before

and said thank you next. Have we heard that song? I have not. I have not either. Are you connected to the board right now? I can be. Yeah, we should try to listen to it. This could be a bad day for Pete Davidson.

I know he really came up. He got a lot of pub after the Bieber roast because he had a pretty good set on that. I don't think I've heard it. His big thing is his dad died in 9-11. He was a firefighter. He loves the dark humor type of shit. That's why he tried to tell this joke about the war veteran here with the eyeball.

His dad died in 9-11. He makes jokes all the time about his dad being like a burning marshmallow and shit like that so in context like in a stand-up set you probably hear him make fun of his dad and then make fun of other people and it's at an odd night live sketch there you don't hear that you just hear him roasting somebody huh and then he goes on a real ariana grande rant there i've seen that the whole thing oh this is what thank you next by ariana oh pete davidson trending The whole thing Oh this is what Thank you next Mariana Oh Pete Davidson Trending Huh

What Oh Oh Pause. They don't do that on purpose, right? Fentanyl just pops into drugs that people don't know. I don't know. I don't know if people are doing it to themselves. I understand things can be laced with fentanyl,

but I don't know of anyone who would willingly put it in there. But I have no idea. It's like unknown. Because you watch all those drug documentaries. The cops make it sound like the drug dealers don't care if they're killing their people or not because people actually come more to the drug dealers whenever they hear that they got od drugs i watched that um that thing where that guy was driving through indiana kodak i think his name was or something like that he was

Next. Next. Did you talk about Foxy's weekend at all? I'm listening to Ariana and Pete. He almost broke his streak. Pause. With what? Not really What happened?

Well we went to Todd's show We had a lot of fun Then we went to the club after Had a lot of fun And at one point I was with a lady But I was like not really with a lady I didn't know who she was

Who was out there? Everybody was there? Nick was there? Everybody was there? Nick was there. Zito was there. Connor was there. Okay, Nick, so what happened? He has this lady there dancing and hanging out? Yeah.

It looked like this was the beginning of the end of the streak. Oh, come on. Things were falling into place where you're like, okay, I could see this. Does this girl think that there's a possibility of ending Foxy's streak? Things were close. Then what happened, and then so i'm bebopping around still having a good time of course dance floor bar whatever and then uh she pops up walks over to me and she goes do you remember my name oh boy i don't even say anything Pat I don't even say

Because I am in a I'm in a state I am in a state Yeah And I just walk away And then I end up Did you laugh? To myself?

Yes Not at her Not at her I would never do that I have respect But I was in no state That is a Yeah it was bad

That is a laughable moment It was bad But yeah for me I was just like Oh well Fuck this one up Walk away So she comes up to you and goes, do you remember my man?

You look at her with a blank stare? Yep. For how long? 30 seconds? It was quick. No, that's why. Like, it was quick. Did you give her like a, huh? And then just turn away? Pretty much. That's the way things go. You won. You got me. Did you guess? You should have went with a guess. Nah, nah, nah. I didn't care that much.

That's the state I was in. Oh. Sorry, I didn't mean that to sound terrible. Oh. So, Nick, do you think this girl will ever know that Foxy exists again, or is this over? I think it's buried, done, dead. Buried. So he comes up to you afterwards and says,

she just asked me if I knew her name. No idea. He told me the next day. I texted him. I was like, did it happen? Yeah. And then I got to hear this and I just laughed

to myself gleefully. You should get better with names too, Foxy. If we're going to become adults. I usually am trying to get better. I usually am trying to get better.

No, no, no. No, Cito. Hey, Cito. No, no, no. Because normally when we go out and we meet a bunch of people like your agents and stuff,

I do the name trick you taught me. You associate it with someone that you know with the same name yep you just put their name on it but when you've had like 10 billion shots that doesn't really work out so i took the yell gracefully and walked it is a good name trick because there's not many new names coming into your life whenever you get older right so just associate it with whoever the first name that you put on so like matt like the first matt i met was

my brother's friend matt pastorius so anytime i run into somebody with the name matt like matt pastorius just shows up and i'm like oh this guy's name's matt and i'm like matt what's up it's like oh thank you brain for doing it it's like i just associate the person with the the name i think it's called mnemonic device i think it's called yep i don't know is that really yeah i i blow some motherfuckers' minds, though, when I remember their name. Because I'll do an entire autograph signing or something or a meeting, and I'll see the person like 45 minutes later. And the person will walk up to me, like, Pat, I just saw you.

I'm like, oh, Roger, what's up, man? And they're like, how did you remember? I'm like, honestly, I don't fucking know. But I'm very excited that Roger Goodell's face just popped up into my head whenever you walked in. It's very interesting. I'm proud of this brain of mine. I just popped up into my head whenever you walked in. It's very interesting. I'm proud of this brain of mine. I don't know how long it's going to last.

You told me that like the first ever trip we traveled together. And ever since then, it's stuck with me. I'm pretty good at the name thing. I do feel very good about my name game. And I'm very excited that it ruined your fucking night. It didn't ruin my night. Trust me. It did not ruin my night. Nah. You had your fucking night. It didn't ruin my night. Trust me. It did not ruin my night.
