The Pat McAfee Show - PMS 2.0 028 - Saving The Punt & Weight Loss Tips With AQ Shipley

Episode Date: December 6, 2018

On today's show, Pat successfully formulates a plan to save the punt in the NFL, as it has come under attack in recent weeks. The guys also all head into the studio to talk more about their strategies for the weight loss competition. Also joining the show is Arizona Cardinals center, Penn State alum, and friend of the show AQ Shipley. He gives the guys some tips for cutting weight, discusses how his rehab coming off a torn ACL is going, gives his thoughts on the outlook of the future of the Cardinals, and chats a little bit about his career as a basketball player (16:00-48:30). Later, the guys discuss whether or not you need to tip bathroom attendants, and welcome in Jeffrey Gorman, a true five-tool specimen for Pat McAfee Inc. He gives away a couple of betting picks as he's riding a hot streak, talks about his previous career working for the Colts as one of Jim Irsay's right hand men, tells a couple of stories from his time working as tour manager for The Black Crowes, and navigates how to interact with the Pittsburgh guys in the office without getting into a fist fight. It's a fun show. Come and laugh with us. Cheers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

I thank you so much for hitting play on this, because you could have chose anything else to listen to, but you chose us. And today is not going to disappoint. Today is a... This might be our Mona Lisa. Our Mona Lisa. Pretty good.

Today is a good... It's very random. A lot of laughs. We got guests on top of guests. AQ Shipley literally just rolls out of bed. He's talking to us naked from his bed for about 40 minutes. Today's a good one. I think you're going to enjoy it,

and I'm so thankful that you chose to listen. The punt play is under attack. Yeah. It is. The kickoff first under attack. They've kind of ruined a couple aspects of the kickoff in the name of safety. Is it safer who knows if jalen smith is going to run and spear a guy in the head on the sideline in the middle

of a defensive play could it happen on any play possibly i do agree though that the punt play with the amount of penalties that are called, becomes a very monotonous play. Every single punt, it appears as if there's a penalty because the rules are so ticky-tack. Yep. You've got a lot of people running, sprinting, 50, 60 yards down the field, full speed, trying to block. Just give somebody an inch so they can make a...

And if you accidentally touch the back of a defender, it's a flag. Every time. What I think we do is just take those rules the fuck out. inch so they can make and if you accidentally touch the back of a defender it's a flag every time what i think we do is just take those rules the fuck out take out the block in the back rule on the punt play no you can't do a cheap shot on somebody's back but if your hand touches somebody's back that's on them not on you i think that's how you make it more explosive you make it more entertaining you put a lot more pressure on the punter to hang the ball higher so a guy can't get a running start. It involves a lot more skill on both sides of the ball, both in the coverage team and in the blocking team. I think if you take away that

ticky-tack block in the back, which could just be your left hand accidentally touching the nameplate of somebody, that takes away another three minute session a 15 yard penalty a drive starting inside the 10 which is what normally happens because of the bullshit call you're talking about special teams coaches hating this thing because it's getting to the point where these types of blocks are subjective they're opinion based and anytime you hit a long ball and they get a big return the first thing any punter does is just look for flags because it could happen at any given time it could happen at any given time i think that's a way to fix it but we can't get rid of the punt play no

and i'm not saying that because i'm a punter but the punt play epitomizes all that is football. All that is football. Football is a territory game. That's what it is. It's capture the flag. The end zone is the flag. You're just trying to take territory from the other team until you can get it in the end zone

or be close enough to kick a field goal. The punt is, Grant, you are turning over the football. You are giving up on your attempt to gain more territory. But with your bomber, you can gain more territory like in risk with a big punt. The whole object of football is to gain field, gain and the punt does that is it a smart turnover yes obviously it is but the punt is the most important play in football you talk to any coach you talk to anybody and ask them if punt matters if the punt play matters if that coach is worth a shit i'm not talking about some high school dummy who never punts because he's a meathead who's never played anything higher than junior high football and he

plays madden with his kids and he's so cool i'm talking about lombardi i'm talking about the people who have shaped the game of football the punt is the most important play of football because that's where you're normally gaining consistently the most amount of yards for your team to own because when you're on defense yes you're trying to keep them out of the end zone but you're trying to keep every single yard that you fucking have without the other team taking it which is what they do with the offense football is a territory game that's what it is and the punt is how you gain territory i think the rules of recent history have made the punt play monotonous and terrible to watch. The goddamn pushing in the back and that stuff is just terrible.

And then if a guy runs out of bounds, the gunner runs out of bounds, and he doesn't attempt to get back in fast enough in the eyes of the ref, that's a 15-yard penalty. And if this happens and this happens, I don't think you should be able to hold. I don't think you should be able to hold. I't think you should be able to hold i think that is cheating you can't just tackle the people but i think if your one hand gets on somebody's back accidentally i think that is something that should be taken out of the rule book and i think it would change the game immensely i think it would change the punt play immensely because it would become a you get better returns because

the blockers aren't scared to block. You get rid of the three-minute, 15-yard penalty, fuck up the whole thing, make people look bad. And also you make the game easier for these players that are playing special teams, which are normally brought into the team that week. This is the bottom half of the roster. It's not the people that you know on each team. These people are turned over at a higher rate. We've signed guys on Saturday that have played on Sunday in special teams. I had to call a guy by his number on the thing because I didn't know his name

because I just met him literally in warm-ups. We just signed him to our fucking team, and he was my starting left tackle on the punt team. I'm like, hey, 56. Nice to meet you, man. Let's have fun out here today. That's a real thing. You got to remember that.

Special teams are filled with people that are going to new places on a regular basis. They're just trying to feed their fucking families, literally, and making the job very hard on them. Literally, making it very hard on them. Let's make it easier. Take out the ticky-tack block in the back. Take out the little bullshit, the petty bullshit. No holding, obviously, but let's make that game

or let's make that play an electric play. And I think that'll do. I think that'll work. I'm happy I fixed that. I like it. I can't believe I did that, though. The kickoff rule might as well be called the Indianapolis Colts while Pat McAfee was kicking off kickoff rule.

Because that's how everybody had to line up against our kickoff team because we hit surprise on-site kicks. So everybody had their hands team on at all times, which is basically what the new kickoff rule is. You have to have your hands team in with the leads. You have to have everybody within 25 yards of the kickoff line. It's your hands team. That's what it is. That's why on-site kick rates have gone down so much

because you're not allowed to overload anymore, and you also have the hands team already in there. So surprise on-site kicks. Although Cody Parkey got them when it wasn't a surprise one. Sam Martin tried a surprise one. That play's basically dead. But we basically had the stats. They used our stats about the injuries that we had those years

when everybody was in hands team, the coverages and stuff like that. They went to that. I mean, that's an actual statement. Tom McMahon, special teams coach for Denver Broncos, was a part of building this new kickoff process because they wanted to save the play, basically, is what was happening. These special teams coaches were trying to save the play.

This is what they're saying they want to do to punt. They want to save the play. Let's not change it that much. Let's just get rid of the bullshit fouls. Hey, NFL wants more points, too. This would help. Returns would help. You get better field position.

Absolutely. You showcase the... Because the returners, by the way, normally the most talented motherfuckers on the field. Yep. They're the most athletic humans on the field. You got a bunch of Ferraris back there just waiting. Let them run and let them eat.

And if you let them just block a little bit, let them block a little bit more. I think that those types of rules if it's if it's just ticky tack petty let's not get trigger happy on this thing which is i think what happens on special teams refs just see it yeah well that that's if if i was to call that on first down or second down he'd be okay it's like yeah but this is a whole different thing right this is a whole different fucking thing this is people sprinting at full speed and wide open spaces trying to make plays and coverage and if somebody accidentally running a 4-4 at the 290 pounds accidentally puts his hands on a back

like let's go let's get past it i think that's how you fix it i also think this year more so than any other we've seen like muffed punts and stuff like that coming from good punts so you can't you can't diminish that like like you've always said like that's that's part of the punter's job too. That's a skill set. That's a real skill. This isn't an accidental thing whenever you see punt returners struggling with footballs. This is a real skill set that is never talked about.

Right. You never hear a commentator talk about it. Nope. Not a once. That's why whenever I mentioned Johnny Hecker, Tyreek Hill was catching Johnny Hecker's punts. That's a huge deal. That's a huge deal.

It's a huge deal. Nobody knows about it, though. Nobody knows about it. You want to save the punt? You let me commentate Sunday night football or Monday night football. There you go. I'll let people know what is happening in that punt. They'll be like, oh, this is pretty fucking interesting, actually.

You know what I mean? There's a lot going on in the punt. A lot going on in the punt. A lot going on in the punt. Matt Hasselbeck calls it his favorite play of football. There you go. He wouldn't lie. He works for ESPN. Yep.

He wouldn't lie. I'm happy we figured this out. Yeah. Christmas, Tuesday. Yep. Now the punt play. Excited to see what's next. What?

Huh. Watching football and fixing football is fun but it's more entertaining when you have some action on the games guys you've heard me talking about this for weeks and some of you are still on the sidelines by the way we are coming to you live from the my bookie.ag studio my bookie is a gambling website that has invested more in this operation than anybody else. They're the absolute best. I appreciate them so much. I hate them right now currently because I'm on a little bit of two-week lull here in the sports gambling.

They're beating me, so they're sending me gifts just to keep me around, just to keep me enticed. They're like, here's a heavy bag. Here's some other stuff. Here's a whole beer and peanut set. Do you remember when they sent that? Oh, yeah. They're just sending us gifts.

Like, this is your money, technically. I love them, though. Mybookie.ag is the best gambling website because you can gamble on anything. Today, you can gamble on me putting together an Ikea three-drawer thing. This is how it's going to go. What is it? I don't even know. What is it?

A three drawer? Like a bureau almost. I don't know if that's the word. It's a three drawer thing. It's like a dresser. There we go. Three drawer dresser from Ikea. You can bet on it.

I'm doing it at some point this evening because I'm traveling. I'm doing it at some point this evening from Phil Main's house. So get your bets in. They want me to put this. There's bets on whether or not I'll say fuck. I'm doing this around a bunch of kids. So will that help me or not? I'm not sure.

Will I quit is a gamble. That's by the way, I'm not known for to be a handyman. This is not something I enjoy sitting around. I've never watched a Disney movie because I didn't want to sit around. Right. I don't sit around. So if never watched a Disney movie because I didn't want to sit around. Right? I don't sit around.

So if this thing starts taking a little bit of time, I think we can all guess. This might be a two-drawer dresser. One-drawer dresser. You can bet on all that. You can bet on all the games. NHL, college football, college basketball. Everything to gamble on out there. Even politics at mybookie.ag. M-Y-B-O-O-k-i-e.ag use promo code

That's why they're the absolute greatest. It used to be complicated and confusing to find a place to gamble that you liked. Yeah, it did. Not anymore. Nope. The punt play used to be complicated and confusing. Until when? About five minutes ago.

Wow, that that happened. But ticket buying also used to be terribly complicated and confusing. Terribly. You'd buy a ticket, and then you'd be like, wait, am I going to get the right ticket? Did I get the right ticket? Then you get the ticket, and it's nothing near what the ticket you thought it was.

Or you're paying overpriced because that particular place knew that they had you buy the balls there. So they're overcharging everybody.

Todd's already got some hysterical videos.

I'm unbelievably excited. We cut a throwback video yesterday in here of me asking Zito how he thinks it's going to go so that when it doesn't go that way. You remember the plan? We had a plan. Looks like Nick and I, we're going to edit a video together. We save all mine in a folder.

I already did. I have a plan for all the videos you send me. Connor's not even a part of your videos, Todd. It's you and Gator. No, no. Hey, hey. But that's because you haven't seen the beginning of the video. Oh. Yeah, there you go nerd there you go you just don't want the people to know or see you in a photo where you're supporting too much look as a trainer as a health trainer as a health

advisor fitness advisor as a as a i'd even go as far to say as a fitness savant then i would i i know that todd doesn't need me there at all times. If Todd needs me there at all times, then we have no chance. You have to be able to do it on your own. Well, I think a team is there for each other. That's what a team is. Well, I'm always there for him. It's like an NFL season. That's six months straight every single

day you're with each other for 12, 13 hours. Well, I'm always there with him in spirit. The Marines, whenever you were protecting the North Pole, Todd? Yeah. Was there ever a time where your teammates were like, oh, fuck you, I'm out of here? No.

No, there's no one-man squads. Don't agree with him, Todd. We are on the same team here. See what I'm saying? A little dysfunction on the team already. Maybe take me to an IHOP or something. See, that's the part of the thing I don't have to be with Zito. Zito, good eye, huh?

Zito, good eye, huh? Oh, yeah. That's a lone wolf situation. That's a lone wolf. So I'm your weight consultant. Yes, you are. I'm crowdfunding weight consultants. I saw you do that.

Not a bad play, by the way, to say that somebody else has a lot of money so you can get something. No, no. I wasn't looking for money. I was looking for donations of not money value. Yeah, sponsorship. Just like pills and shit. Really? I saw you get a sponsor.

I don't think that. Joining us now is a man who knows all about weight loss, A.Q. Shipley. What's up, brother? Hey, guys. What's up? Hey, man. Hey, fresh out of bed. Call him.

I literally was. I'm tired as shit. How is AQ Shipley's wake-up call? Everybody knows me, knows that I FaceTime. That's all I do. I don't call. I only FaceTime. I asked AQ if he could come on the show today,

and he did not know that I have an early flight, though, so we had to kind of move some things up. I didn't give him the heads up. I wanted to do a face-to-face like a man. So I FaceTimed him at about 6.30 his time. And he answers completely naked, I think, from bed. And I'm excited to be... AQ, how's it going?

Great, man. Really, really fucking pumped. You sleep naked. You're a naked sleeper, I assume? You're a big man. Yeah, I get way too hot. I got a sweater vest for chest hair. Nice. I need as're a big man. Yeah, I get way too hot. I got a sweater vest for chest hair. Nice.

I need as few layers as possible. I can't sleep naked. I got to wear basketball shorts. I do, too. Just in case I wake up and the covers aren't on and everything's not looking great and I want my girlfriend to look over and be like, well, yeah, I'm going to have to break up with that.

You think you're going to get left with how you look? Yeah, and you're married. I don't got to impress anybody. I that. You think you're going to get left with how you look? Yeah, I'm married. I don't got to impress anybody. I know, AQ. You're married with a kid now. Life has changed and all these things. Do you know about our weight loss challenge that is happening January 1st to January 31st

in the office over here? I didn't know you guys were doing it again. I remember it last year, though. So what's happening is we've upped the stakes. It's now for $9,999 American dollars. It's teams now. We got Nick is with Diggs. Diggs is losing the weight there.

Nick is his manager. Me and Zito, I am Zito's weight consultant. I am his manager. Ty Schmidt and my father are playing for the Pat McAfee Foundation. And Connor and Todd. Todd's losing the weight. Connor's his motivator. January 1st to January 31st.

I watched you lose like 12 pounds in one day before. What are some of your advice for this whole thing? Magnesium citrate. We've talked about this before. It's the best. Great, great, great, great drink. That's one thing. He's writing it in highlighter. Two, I would also recommend, because I've had to about this before. It's the best. Great, great, great drink. I hate Don Zito. That's one thing. He's already getting highlighter.

Two, I would also recommend, because I've had to do this before where I've had to lose like 10 to 15 before training camp in like a two-week period. So long cardio, definitely long cardio. Doesn't need to be intense, but if you're walking at, let's say, four degree incline at three miles per hour for 45 minutes to an hour, weight comes right off. Towel around the neck, too, right? Always wear a rubber suit, too. Always wear a rubber suit. Did you say a tie around your neck?

A towel. You got to go towel around the neck at all times. I think that's for after the workout. No, no. It makes you look better on the treadmill. We don't care about how you look, Sita. We're here for fucking results. Listen to the man

who has scammed his way into keeping thousands of dollars in his bank account by losing weight quickly for weigh-ins. My apologies, AQQ. Please keep going. I got a lot of tricks. This guy better fucking listen. Jesus. He's not really good at listening.

That's not his strong suit. What's hope losing weight is, what is the most amount of weight you've lost right before a weigh-in? Was there ever a Wednesday night before a weigh-in or I don't know what days they are now? Because these are all findable offenses. $1,000 a pound is sometimes

the rule this thing goes. And AQ used to come in the morning of these weigh-ins looking terrible they obviously had been up all fucking night aq what is the move what has been your biggest biggest weight loss i mean i'd say overnight the biggest weight loss has been 10. Is that not insane? And that's all from the magnesium thing? Oh, yeah. Well, it's that and then what I would do. So here's my move, right?

So I would do the magnesium, and then I would do a sauna the night session before. But then I would wake up like two hours early. So let's say first meeting was at 8 a.m. I would get to the facility at 6, weigh myself. If I was still 3, 3 1⁄2 over, I would go in the hot tub up to my neck, and I would stay in there as long as I possibly could before I was about to pass out. Then I would get out and find the coldest place possible to get myself back to life, and then

find the sauna and go in the sauna in the steam room again and do that and i would work that cycle all the way up until eight o'clock and weigh in it's unbelievable it's unbelievable did you ever weigh in over what you thought you were gonna or had to weigh in it no i always came i always got down to It was always 310 that I think I needed to be And I think like the most I ever was Like the night before was like 321 Jesus Christ

Yeah and I always got down To like they always Gave you like that half a pound Leeway so like I think the highest I ever was was like 310 310.5 310.4 or something like that Z a pound leeway. So like, I think the, the highest I ever was was like three, 10 and three, 10 and a half, three,

10.4 or something like that. Zito has a question. Thank you. So, uh, my strategy coming into this whole challenge is I'm trying to get as much weight as possible and then losing it January 1st. Is that a smart move?

Horrible fucking. Why isn't the new? No, no, no. He, he is, he is chatting with his consultant too.

So it's not even crazy. My off-season weight that I gained quick, that was the easiest ones to get off. Here's what I'm going to tell you, though. This is what I'm going to tell you. The more weight you gain, as you gain the weight, the metabolism gets fucking worse. I don't think I have metabolism. I don't know why he's even concerned, AQ. He weighs by far the most out of all of us.

But in my case, I weigh 205. He walks around at, he says 260, probably more like 270. I have to put on weight this month, don't I? Because I got to have something to lose. Yeah, I think. He's old, too, by the way. Hey, this guy's an old man, too. So the metabolic rate, that shit slows down naturally, I think,'s old, too, by the way. Hey, this guy's an old man, too. So the metabolic rate, that shit slows down naturally, I think, to begin with.

Going into this answer. I think you're in a bad spot there, Hoss. I think you need to talk these guys into doing a percentage weight loss. We did. We did. Pounds of weight loss. It is percentage. But still, when you add it up, it doesn not – it doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

It doesn't help you out. Okay. Well, you're fucked. Yeah. Hey, somebody posted me a picture – or somebody sent me a picture on the Twitter of you taking a knee in an Arizona Cardinals jersey. It was an all-white.

Oh, man. Thank you. That's not an angle, guys. That is – Hey, he got to the Colts And we're an all white squad Right Our teams

We literally wear white Spanx on the field That was like our go to uniform AQ One of the first games Walks up to me Do I look like the Michelin Man And you want to know What the worst part is?

I'm fucking watching the game last week, and they're wearing all blue. When did this happen? Color rush. It's color rush. Thank you. I'm looking at your Fab 22 picture, and you look great. What 2.0 picture? The Fab 22 from high school.

It came out. It was like an anniversary last week, and everyone was tagging you. I was real spelt back then. You a hooper too right weren't you a basketball player big time basketball player yeah oh yeah big time aq was like a freak in the in the pain i guess this guy was on immovable object down there you know you want to know what's funny so i got a bunch of text messages from people. I got put into that WPIO Hall of Fame last year, right? Congratulations.

I have not. 80% of the introduction video was about me playing basketball. My one buddy texted me. He was like, let's not fucking make this about basketball. You didn't get in because of basketball. That's got to make you feel like a much better athlete, though, for sure. Yeah, for sure. I'm sitting next to this girl who played in the WNBA.

I'm like, yeah, just so we're clear. I used to be able to do this. Just so we're clear. You are a fucking idiot. What have you been watching, college football? It's also NHL season. How are we feeling? How's AQ Shipley's fanhood feeling?

I was in a bad spot about hockey season until last night, until we took down the number one team, Penguins. Hornquist, fastest in Penguins history. We're doing it. We're back on track. College football season is going to be an interesting bowl season. quiz fastest in Penguins history. We're doing it. We're back on track. College football season is going to be an interesting bowl season.

I don't think Notre Dame is nearly as good as people make them out to be. I think they're going to have a rough playoff. Listen to this. Real analysts. I don't know how Alabama is going to do. The Tua guy, he goes down and Hurts goes in and they look better than they ever did.

I just don't get it. I mean, they definitely weren't going to beat the Buffalo Bills with Tua in there. All right. All right. Please finish your thoughts here, please. Oklahoma's also in there. You want to talk about them? Yeah, ton of points, no defense.

Don't know where that's going to go. We'll see what happens when they play a defense. If they play a defense, because college football is not known for defense anymore. How about Sunshine down there in Clemson? That kid looks unbelievable. Who's that? Sunshine down there. I think he's – what's his name?

Kelly. Trevor Lawrence. Kelly Lawrence. That kid can really throw the ball. Oh, man. You had it. That was the guy who's transferring. Yeah, he's going to Arkansas.

Kelly Bryant was the first one. Missouri, right? Make up your mind, Kelly. Yeah, I know my football, man. I'm a college football analyst. Hey, did you see me do Color Commentator? I listened to some of the clips. I liked the...

If I can get this right, I'm probably going to fuck it all up. Let's see if it was... Live good, feel good, feel good, play good, play good, die good, die good, die good, something like that. That's Dion, too, by the way. That's a throwback for Dion. I don't know if Dion did the whole thing, but it stems from a Dion Sanders quote. Yeah, man, you look good. You feel good.

You feel good. You play good. You play good. They pay good. They pay good. You live good. You live good. You die good

and isn't that what we're just trying to do i think deon's cuts off after get paid i honestly think you added the last part really yeah did i really make that i always heard it as look good feel good feel good play good play good get paid good and that was it i never even heard the get paid good i was look good feel good feel good play good yeah because of jerry rice play good pay good i think deon added a few and i think i wonder who's gonna get me jerry and deon yeah of course it is took it to death i killed that thing it's gonna be when jesus comes back he's gonna add yeah resurrect good you should probably retire now what the name of that company. What'd you say, you? What are you saying over there?

I think you should probably retire now if you're going to put your name in that fucking company. Hey, I didn't put it in there. People were saying it. Not me, AQ. People were saying it. But regardless, it's being mentioned, so retire. I think that's it. I've already done it once.

I'll do it again. AQ, I'll do it again. I don't know. By the way, how many years did I want to retire before I actually retired, AQ? Oh, man, I was hearing at least a good two on playing rides. I was ready, man. I just fell out of love with going to work. Are you enjoying going to work still?

You got rehab right now. You've had like 45 surgeries. I don't know how you're still doing it 10 years in here i'll tell you what it's uh yeah i still enjoy the game i'm telling you that being away from the game this year has made me miss it more i've watched more football this year than i have in the last 10 years i mean normally you watch that you watch film during the week and you watch so much of it that when you get home from work the last thing you want to do is watch football so for years and years and years i'd get home from work and i would turn on any like i almost like made like the espn and nfl channels blocked on my tv nothing to

do with it but because of football yeah i remember like week two this year my wife's like why are we watching another game that's awesome and i just i mean, this whole year, I mean, not playing it has made me miss it a little bit. So I'm excited to get back out there. No question about that. Okay, so you got your knee done there in training camp. It was early in training camp. You tore your ACL. First time you've ever done that, I think.

You got surgery. I think three weeks later you were doing squats. It made no sense to me. I did not understand any of it. You just got a scope as well, and you're already walking. I mean, who's your rehab guy out there? What's going on? I'm telling you, either you went to the wrong person or I went to the right person.

It sounds like one of the two. So you're literally walking. he just got his knee done. What was that? How many days ago did you get your knee done? We're probably breaking news right now. We might have to dump all of this. I don't know if AQ wants this out. No, you're fine.

Six days ago. I just got it cleaned up. And yesterday he calls me just walking to his car. I wasn't allowed to leave my fucking bed for a week. I was literally told you're not allowed to move because it'll swell up. AQ is like dancing. FaceTiming me and dancing. You had that awesome cane, though.

Bro, I had one of the best cane, like, limp walks in the history of probably cane. I'm excited to get that. I won't. That's why I had to do it. Because I think if I was to get to that stage of life, I'd have a good limp with that cane. But now I'm not going to make it, I don't think. is a real fucking shame, but I think you don't even have fucking anything I don't understand it. Are you ready to go back? When will you be full speed again? And we honestly so they get the stitches out. Oh, see

As soon as I get the stitches out, I'm full tilt again it's just all they did was they went in they cleaned a few things out and They wheeled me to my car in a wheelchair, and they were like, if you can walk, get up and walk. The doc wanted me to get rolling right away, wanted me to walk to go to dinner that day, go find a store, walk around

there, just get out of the house and do all that. He's pretty aggressive with his rehab and getting it moving and getting the blood flowing and doing all that. It has worked well so far. I think healing does have to do with your body composition. I was reading this internet article about they said humans, certain humans used to breed with Neanderthals back in the day.

And that's where we get Brock Lesnar and all that. And I can see you being one of those. Take you like the result of, you know, somewhere down the line, a human fucking Neanderthal. That's where we get to block, Lesnar. I don't know if that's a backhand. No, I mean, that's where you get the superior strong. Your family's fucking Neanderthals. Based on that picture where I'm kneeling in the end zone,

I mean, it makes perfect sense. Yeah, but that picture of that guy who looks probably like 90% of American guys is able to play in the NFL for 10 years, able to be a basketball stud, be an athlete. You're built different, AQ. You're not supposed to be as athletic as Joe. Your body is built to be in the mills. Your body is built

to... Let me also say something, right? Because I need to say this, right? Brock Lesnar couldn't play in the fucking NFL. That's right. Couldn't hack it. That's a good point. Whoa. Bum.

That was at Diggs. Hey, hold on, AQ. I would like everybody to know at AQ Shipley, Center for the Arizona Cardinals, let off with that Brock comment, and then at Diggs with a Z, D-I-G-Z, double down with the bitch comment. And then at Diggs with a Z, D-I-G-Z, double down with the bitch comment.

If this happens to land in the ears of anybody near Brock Lesnar, I would like you to know that that's Diggs and AQ Shipley. I'd like to clarify, I said bum, not bitch. That would be a real shame. Would be a real shame. I mean, I hope it doesn't end up anywhere near him.

That guy's a scary human being. But he really, he tried, right? He was at the Vikings. Yeah. Oh, right? He was at the Vikings. He was a Viking, which makes sense. He's a barbarian of a man. I would never want to piss him off. How's Penn State going to handle just not being a part of anything

relevant again for another year? You're saying playing Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl isn't relevant? Hey, Kentucky was good this year. They could sneak up on Penn State. And West Virginia's got Syracuse. Syracuse was very fucking good this year. Those are two games there where we could both get beat, I think.

We could both get beat in those games. I do appreciate that at least the committee tried to make a rivalry game with you guys. I appreciate that. I wish they would take more notice of that. Because there used to be so many older rivalries. Obviously, Syracuse-West Virginia was a long-time rivalry. So they make that a bowl game. At least it brings back appeal.

You know what I mean? Thank you. I wish. Who would Penn State have played this year that would have been a bigger game? Is Penn State still behind the program? I mean, you could have. I mean, I think Pitt-Penn State. I mean, I know Pitt.

Obviously, I'm – Watch it. If they didn't already play this year. Because I can't stand all the Pitt people. They're the worst. You know, they obviously were a 7-6 team throughout the year. So, I mean, it wouldn't be very much appeal, but the rivalry in a bowl game would be very, very much heightened.

Do the Penn State fans still have faith in John Franklin's Penn State team? Who the hell is John Franklin? Jimmy. James. There you go. Jesus. I knew it was a J. To be honest, in my head, it was either John or James.

It was like when you're in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? It was a 50-50 thing. I took a shot with John, his reaction, so I knew it was James. Like, you know, I went in there with 50-50. Yeah, I mean, I think, yeah. I mean, they're going to have three 10-win seasons if they win this game in a row, and that's the first time in 40 years or 30 years or something that that's happened. So I think you have to.

I mean, obviously this year was a little bit of a disappointment, but I also think that they weren't nearly as good as they were last year, and it also let everybody else realize that Saquon Barkley was that damn good. They still lost some games when he was there, too. That makes sense. So somehow the cult is spinning this to make Saquon Barkley look even better. So you give James Franklin another year, then you bring in Urban Meyer. Is that what's going to happen?

He's going another day. The one thing that James has done a great job of is recruiting. He's brought more four and five star kids to Penn State, which obviously doesn't mean the world of difference, but because you never know

how they're going to pan out, but it does. Were you a five star? Other kids as well. What's that? Were you a five star? I was a four star. Son of a bitch.

Why was it? Because you thought you were a basketball player? They took a star off because of some of the pictures of my high school. Hey, will you keep your ear to the ground in the next couple weeks and see if you could get a vibe from the team if they're going to try in the bowl game or not? That would be nice.

Penn State? Well, I think they're definitely going to try. They've got McSorley. They're going to try. They've got McSorley. It's a class game. They're going to try. You never know. I think the thing that you need to be more focused on in terms of understanding which way that game is going to go is if that first-round defensive end for Kentucky decides not to play in the game.

He probably shouldn't. I don't think he should play either. I'm all for the movement of players not playing in the bowl games. Me three, man. Well, two. But I assume A.Q. agrees with that. aq aq how do you feel about it do you think do you do you think it's eventually going to go that way where like all the it feels like guys don't play in it it feels like that right now it back in the day it was only a couple guys that wouldn't do it that were like the stars now it's like

like that kentucky guy i never heard of him but i assume he's really fucking good and if i was him by the way i'm not gonna going to – why risk it? You're about to get paid. He just won the Nagurski Trophy last night. He's the best defensive lineman, I think, right? Jalen Smith went from a top five pick to a – what was it? A third-round pick just because he blew out his entire knee in a meaningless –

Jake Butt, too. It's definitely interesting in the shift. Pat obviously knows about it, and you guys all probably know about it, obviously, from being in Pennsylvania, but the Big 33 game at high school, right? Nobody plays in that game anymore. It used to be the biggest interstate All-Star game. It wasn't a national All-Star game. And then probably five or six years ago, everybody stopped playing it.

And now the game's getting people that are not. I mean, Diggs, they're going to Duquesne. You know what I mean? All the Ivy League kids, Diggs. All the Ivy League kids. The FCS playoff team, Duquesne. Oh. Yeah, yeah, those guys.

Hey, who did Duquesne beat? They beat Towson and Fred Flacco, and then they head up to South Dakota and lost in the snow. You guys knew you were going to lose in South Dakota. That's all they care about. South and North Dakota are the best FCS football teams around. It wasn't pretty. It was not.

How much did you lose by? It was like 51-14. By the way, I lost in the AFC Championship game. It was about that same score. Sometimes it happens. You're going to get got. You've got to get yours more than you get got, though. Fact. Marshawn Lynch.

How's David Johnson? He's a really good player, huh? He's incredible. They're giving him the ball more in recent weeks. There was a guy... He still needs to get the ball more and more because the kid's incredible. There was a guy. I mean, he still needs to get the ball more and more and more and more because the kid's incredible. There was a guy in his office that bet on him being MVP before the season started.

We told him it was the worst decision in the history of betting, probably. Worse than betting on the Cardinals over under six and a half. But David Johnson is legit, huh? He's like a top five player in the game. Yeah, he's incredible. I mean, he really is. He's big. He can run through tackles.

He's probably the best running back in the game out in space and being able to receive and screen passes and swing passes and even split them out wide and get them one-on-one with a linebacker. I mean, he's really, really good. He's 6'1". He's 230, 235 and can run. But you guys are a game that Deion Sanders says, don't nobody care.

Don't nobody care. Deion Sanders says that. Why do you say that? Because we're not very good this year? Yeah, that's Deion Sanders' thing. He goes through the whole list of games on the day, and he predicts who wins, and then if a game doesn't matter, he has this hilarious bit where he just looks into his phone

and goes, ain't nobody care. Ain't nobody care. It's awesome. And you guys have been on there a couple times. You guys have brought me a lot of laughs. This year definitely did not go how you planned. A lot of injuries happened to you included. You got a rookie starter in there, I assume, still.

I don't even know. Yeah, yeah, Josh Rosen still playing. How are things looking for the future for the Arizona Cardinals? They're looking bright. We just got to stay healthier. We've had a nice little run of injury bug the last three years that has not helped us in the slightest way. We released our starting right tackle maybe last week or two weeks ago.

And then the rest of the original starting offensive line from training camp is all on IR right now. Jesus. That's tough. You win the game in the trenches, AQ. Well, yeah, exactly. And so from our

training camp offensive line, left tackle hasn't played in weeks. Left guard went on IR a couple weeks ago. I went on IR in training camp. Right guard went on IR a couple weeks ago. I went on IR in training camp. Right guard went on IR a couple weeks ago. And then we released our right tackle.

Good news, good depth for next year. Yeah, you've got a lot of experience in the offensive line room all of a sudden from all these young guys having to play from the vets getting hurt or the starters getting hurt. That's good news moving forward. How's Rosen doing? Is he slinging a rock? He made a hell of a play this last week.

I mean, you've got to give the kid a lot of credit. He hung in there. We're playing at Green Bay in Lambeau in the Elements against Aaron Rodgers. It wasn't really Aaron Rodgers. It started off on whatever. I think it was 14-14 with, like, I don't know, five or six minutes left in the game. And first down is like a loss of two.

Second down, snap rolls back. He throws it away, like gets pressure. We're at third and something, gets a false start penalty. Now we're at, like, third and 16 from our own five, and he throws one like 52 yards. Fitzgerald catches it like a pretty amazing catch. So he hung in there and let us back. We ended up driving down another 20 yards

and getting a field goal to win the game. Fitzgerald's still doing it. He's had some good moments as a rookie, no question about it. Fitzgerald's still doing it. Still doing it, man. I saw him at a golf tournament. He was palling around with the governor. We were with John Daly and the people,

but he looks like a specimen of a human. He really is, man. I mean, to play his position and do it for 15 years, he takes care of his body better than almost everyone. I've never seen anything like it. I mean, he literally – I mean, he lives his life, no question. I mean, he plays tons of golf in the offseason. He travels around, but he also employs a trainer to travel with him to make sure he gets his workouts in during the week too.

That's all I'm going to start doing for Zito. January 1st, Zito, it all starts. AQ, who are you picking for this weight loss challenge? Zito, for sure starts. AQ, who are you picking for this weight loss challenge? Zito, for sure. Let's go! Let's go! I'm excited about that. $9,999, AQ.

Whip people are supposed to stick together, man. Long cardio. Long cardio in a sweatsuit at an incline. Magnesium citrate, sorry. And find as many saunas and steam rooms as you possibly can. That's my advice. Can't wait. We'll get you a couple of memberships.

We'll get you a couple of memberships. Next time you're in Sound AQ, I got you dinner. Cut the sugar, cut the salt. Hey, I'm back on the keto, by the way. You mocked the keto. It worked for me. It worked for you? Did it? I guarantee you, once you got off it, you blew it back up to where you were.

I was only off it for like five days, but yeah, it was starting to blow. And in those five days, you put on 10 pounds. Yeah, I mean, it was starting to look like it. I had to really get back into it with the quickness. It was tough. I had to do Thanksgiving, then the Black Friday, then we had a guy get branded. It was a lot of eating and happiness happening, and I had to get back in it.

I like the keto, though, but it is difficult. It is very difficult to stick with. I'd love to know why you just mentioned Black Friday as like an eating holiday. What the fuck is going on? Tiger and Phil. Yeah, leftover. Leftovers from Thanksgiving.

Yeah, it was a celebration. You throw them all on a skillet, you mix it all up, it's an eating holiday. Yeah, what are you talking about? Wow. That's what you guys do. You guys go every day after Thanksgiving. Once I do Thanksgiving. Yeah, it was a celebration. You throw them all in a skillet, you mix it all up, it's an eating holiday. Yeah, what are you talking about? Wow. That's what you guys do. You guys go every day after Thanksgiving. Once I do Thanksgiving, man, I can't dip into the—

I like the leftovers. Three days of leftovers. At least Sunday. What are you talking about? Three days of leftovers. It takes you to Monday. A little honey-baked ham on a Black Friday? Yeah.

I don't know who did the whistle there, but it was spot on. Was that you, Ty? Yeah. That was a pretty good whistle. Ty said that Aaron Rodgers was sabotaging the game so that they'd fire Mike McCarthy. How do you feel about stealing a win in Lambeau whenever Aaron is trying to sabotage his own coach?

I mean, regardless of what happened. I'm joking. I'm completely joking. Ty Schmidt did say that, though, and it kind of – I said it on the Aspen. I thought of whatever. I'm joking. I'm completely joking. Ty Schmidt did say that, though. And it kind of, I said it on Aspen. I thought of that. And you also said, fucking hammer the Packers this weekend, right? Because they're going to come out firing for the new guy?

Yes. Do you agree? I can't. I can't speak on gambling. Wait until you retire. It's a lot of fun, though. You're going to really enjoy it. I bet.

You're going to really enjoy it. I've been on quite a little cold streak here, quite a little cold streak for the last two weeks, but there ain't no time to get back to the present. I'm going to start hammering. What's the next Pat McAfee challenge? I'm fucked, dude. I'm doing an Ikea. I'm doing an Ikea.

I'm building an Ikea piece of furniture. I'm doing it in Phil's living room Thursday night, though. It's going to be like a 6 o'clock viewing, I think. Maybe 7 o'clock. I think I got to travel on Thursday. I'm doing it in Phil's house with his kids everywhere. Germs,

sickness, all that. I'm putting this thing together i mean it's going to be i'm i'm this is the one i'm betting against me i'm betting against me hard i'm not a handyman i'm not a handyman but i do know that people who are a lot less intelligent than i am have put these together so that's what i'm going in like i could figure this out it's a picture book it's a picture book the instructions are you just gotta. The instructions are you just got to follow the pictures. I'm a big, if I can see something, I can do it. You know, if I can see something normally I can figure her out.

It's kind of been my life model almost. So I think maybe I can do it. If it's pictures, it's good. Yeah, it's just a book. You don't even have to be able to read to do this. I'm the same way. I can't ever listen to somebody and figure it out during a class, but if you put it up on a board, I can figure it out.

Yeah, let me see how it works here. Oh, maybe we can do this easier too. Maybe if we just get rid of that, I think we can do that as well. I hope you do that Thursday. That's how I learned how to punt, basically, watching Shane Leckler. I'm like, yeah, I don't think I have to do that, though. I can just probably do this and say, yep. It was like my whole first year just watching Shane Leckler's film like let's see how the fuck this old man is still

bombing balls here okay good let me go try that tomorrow no shanks all right can you put my video up next to his real quick let me oh i'm nothing like that let's see if we can dial it in a little bit you do that for a year you figure it out that's why i like shane leckler so goddamn much he has no idea we spent a lot of time together he and i we spent a lot of time together and it wasn't really him i guess it was just his film who do you who do you do you did you younger in your year teach anybody teach you anything in your career yeah i mean i watched a lot of like um i watched a lot of the really good guys from the generation before me. So I watched Nick Mangold.

I watched Kevin Mawai. I watched Jermonte Dawson growing up as a Steelers fan. I watched Olin Kruitz, who I loved the way he played in Chicago. So those were some of the guys that I watched. Nick Hardwick in San Diego. That Jason Kelsey block on Monday night. Unbelievable. That was awesome.

Is that center of porn right there? He's really good in space. I mean, there's no question about that. When he gets to use his athleticism, there's nobody better in the game. He came in with that chip. Whether it's a swing pass, a draw, a screen, if he gets to get out in space and do something, he's incredible at it. He came out with that Chip Kelly offense, too,

whenever he was first in Philadelphia, so that helped a lot. That's where he really thrived, and that's where people really got to see his athleticism because he was always pulling, he was always getting to the second level, doing some things, and he's just as athletic as the guys he's going against, which doesn't really happen very often from our position. He fucking buried that guy. That was awesome to see. I would love to know what that

feels like. I have no clue. I have no clue what that feels like. Just one arm and a guy and then bury somebody else. AQ does know what that feels. He also knows how it feels to be in the Big 33 game. He also knows how it is to be in the Western Pennsylvania Hall of Fame. I am in neither of those. Invited to neither of those. Don't worry about it.

I was in Penn State material. AQ is such a good guy. AQ, I hope you get healthy, brother. I appreciate you, man. Hey, just keep working at it one day, buddy. You're the best, AQ. Go back to bed, man. See you.

After a 10-year NFL career career is very funny i wonder if that is i wonder if that happens no granted he obviously went in there as a football player as well but the way he made it sound as they let off with the basketball highlights like you guys remember this guy he said 80 highlights were basketball that's incredible that has to feel good though when you go in oh yeah he probably had no idea by the way he was probably told he's going in, write a speech, and he gets there, and they have this highlight, and it's all of him playing basketball. He's like, oh, should have changed his speech a little bit. I was pretty good.

I wonder how his speech was. I bet you it was hilarious. Sure, of course. I bet you it was very hilarious. Well, AQ also has the ability to button it up sometimes and just say it. Oh, is that right? Yeah. I mean, you can tell.

You can tell when you ask him about the Cardinals. He just fucking buttons it up and just goes with the standard answer. AQ is, he went to Penn State. He went to Penn State. I think he's a very smart man if it comes into his brain. But he is just a fucking dummy, man. That guy is a full-on dummy. How about him answering FaceTime 6.30 in the morning?

I like his second ring. He's completely naked in his bed. I'm assuming it was one of those where you just got up to pee or something. He's got a kid, right? He's probably up. I didn't even think about that. He's in tune with that.

Was it a lay flat answer or was it him up? No, he was laying down. It was laying down with the head. That's a good one to get him. Yeah, it was hilarious. He's a good guy. Bright-eyed bushy tail there. I appreciate it,.Q. Shipley

Good man A.Q. Shipley is the absolute greatest human on earth He's the man We called him and he woke up To do that conversation He was literally in bed And I know what bed he was in Because I shipped him one of these beds as a gift

Because it's my new favorite thing in my life And it'll be your new favorite thing in your life And that's a lisa sleep mattress l-e-e-s-a lisa sleep mattress these people change the bed buying and bed using experience forever they took away all the bullshit lisa said lisa said i'm sick and tired of people thinking that they can only go to a storefront to get a good bed so they said we're gonna make a company that ships the most comfortable luxurious bed you've ever slept in in your life we're gonna put it in a box we're gonna ship it to your goddamn doorstep simple simple you don't have to go anywhere nope in unpacking said box you might think is tough, complicated, and confusing.

It's not. Not at all. Ty, how long did it take you to do? About a minute and a half to three minutes. How much do you weigh? I weigh about 190. Okay, but you're kind of a wiry guy. Foxy, you did it.

How much do you weigh? 175. Okay, so what I'm saying is this doesn't take superhuman strength to get this bed out of this box and ready to use it takes two minutes of just a little bit of of movement and you're in and running and the bed that you're getting is incredible right now if you go to l e e s a dot com slash mcafee you get 150 off unbelievable l Unbelievable. L-E-E-S-A dot com slash McAfee $150

off. They're just giving it away. And a great night's sleep. And you'll be up and ready to go at 6.30am to do a 40 minute interview on a live podcast with a bunch of humans in Indianapolis. Sleep matters. Choose to do yours with Lisa. That's a pretty good little tagline.

That was good. That's a pretty good little tagline. Earlier today, we had a full discussion about a new group of humans that I hate. I can openly say that I hate them. I respect them. I respect them. Do you?

But I hate when they're present. I hate being in... I respect what they do for a living. I just hate being around them. Hate the hustle. And that's bathroom attendance. Oh, yeah. I hate them.

I hate them. I understand. I respect it. But I am the type of person, I see a homeless person, I feel obligated to give them money. I feel obligated. Yes.

I was grossly overpaid for a long time. I feel obligated to do it. I'm just trying to take a piss, though. Yeah. I'm just trying to take a piss. I i'm just trying to take a piss i pee a lot too i have an active bladder i pee two three times at dinner and that happens so i'm going in i'm just trying to go to the bathroom i'm trying to rinse my hands off get back all right yep no no no though not when that guy's watching digs not when that guy's watching the difference between them and like a door guy when you walk into a nice hotel or something

Is you have the option to be like No I got my bag But you're in the wide open So he has you trapped in this little area Little tiny fucking area That nobody wants to be in Nobody wants to be in this area Oh please

Well you aren't grown men You can't just walk over there No I got it No You do that now No I love these guys I'm all about it.

But I feel bad. My move is no eye contact the entire time. Stare at the floor, just like you're in an elevator or something like that. Just walk the fuck out. Sir. I just walk in and act like I'm blind. Sir. So you're telling me when a guy goes, sir, with the paper towels, almost boxing you out of the front door?

No, no, no. If you just don't look at him at all, he has no chance to do cert or some well here's my three times digs this is something that i'm in there three i walk over there with my hands out lather me up let's go come on put soap on there i want you to rub the soap into my hands for me and go forward what do you do after that and then i tip him two bucks and i do bucks this guy. He's giving a full hand massage. And flying his fucking hands. This guy's a bad day. This guy's a Nick Moroto hand bad day. Two bucks is too much for you guys?

Not enough. It's too little. Hey, I think it's fair. What are you talking about? Who carries two dollars? Now you're taking a shot at the bathroom attendant? You're taking his treats. Two bucks?

Yeah. Who carries two dollars? One for the wash and one for the candy. Why are you even carrying ones on you? Just wait until these guys get Venmo. Then we're all really in trouble. Yeah, well, you dollars one for the wash and one for the candy We even carry in ones on you just wait till these guys get bed mode and we're all really in trouble Yeah, well you don't carry once I hate him. Here's my move always you just stand at the urinal even if you're not peeing until he's helping someone else and then you just kind of scoot out like I'll zip up at the urinal and Just peek out on the side corner of his eye and wait till he's helping someone else and I fucking spritz more smart

I've been having to go to New York Yeah, for a lot of things on a handshake in and every fucking bathroom was got one of these I just don't understand it. I don't understand conversation with them three times. I'm in there. Yeah, I talked to him What do you think they are interesting people? New York has so many homeless people. They're just picking them off the street and putting them in the bathroom. See, that's where they're loving us. I'm just saying.

I'm just saying. That's fucked up, Carter. I'm not surprised. That's a hustle. What are you talking about? I don't like New York down to my core. So you will not get any sympathy from me if we're talking about New York City. I would like it to be known.

I respect the hustle. I understand that it is a hustle. I understand that you are grinding away for tips. I understand it's difficult. I just hate whenever I have to be a part of it. I just hate that I'm a part of the scam. It has to be legitimate. You can't just walk in there

and it can't just be a guy standing there with paper towels. They have to have the spread. Yes, exactly. If the spread's not there, I'm not tipping. The mints, the candy, the cologne, all of it. The club is buying all those things. I disagree. I also disagree.

You think that whenever a bathroom attendant is pitching a restaurant or a club, he comes in and he goes, here's the deal. We'll split this thing 80-20. 80 to me, 20 to you. You're making money off money you haven't had yet.

And then he opens up a fucking briefcase of things that he's going to bring in there. Mints, Trident, Big Red. I have as well. I think it's just expected. He doesn't come in an interview and say, this is what I'm going to bring. I think it's expected in the industry that they bring in their own mints and stuff like that. Because I've seen people, when we used to go to Nakama every Friday in the south side, we would watch our guy walk in, he would bring in in his bag and then he would open up and he would

set up his station he charges the club though for that stuff right no i don't know i think it's a little right off in the cologne by the way that's when you know it's a whole nother level zito when the cologne pops off everyone smells the same in the club has no point he's got options yeah what are you talking about he's got options you can smell like four things everyone is gonna pick the good one and then everyone starts smelling see that See, there's no such thing as a good one that everybody likes. It's different. Personal taste. But how do you get there to be a bathroom attendant?

I don't get how you end up in that job. Are you like these butlers that can't hack it? A lot of hard work. Or is it a step down? I think it's the hotel concierge, the person who asks for your bag. If they can't hack it in that, they're not getting bags. Let's switch to the bathroom.

Because the bathroom's a very persistent business and consistent, too. I'm telling you, these bathroom attendants make bank off of me. I give them $20 normally. See, what are you doing? You've got to have some self-control. Self-control? This guy's rubbing my fucking hands. $2.

That's all it's worth. This guy's rubbing my hands. He's got me a full pack of gum. Maybe $5 if you're making multiple trips and you're going to do it every time. I do make multiple trips. Well, then do it at the beginning of the night. You do it at the beginning of the night. You know this.

You grease them. You do it at the beginning of the night. I do. It's 20 bucks. It's too much. Every time I come back, I have to announce to the other people in there that I've already tipped the $20. Oh, fuck them.

This is between you and him. They don't matter. Or you can approach- What do you mean it don't matter? I walk out of there not tipping a guy, a Pat McVie. Doesn't matter. Just walked out of this thing with this guy, just rubbed his hands down, gave him a back rub.

That's front page chips. Wait a minute. You can approach it like I do. This is a hilarious dilemma. He tips big the first time he's in there by himself. And he goes back and there's three new guys in there using the bathroom. He has to somehow let them know. That's a sitcom episode.

They've already tipped. I've already tipped. He takes the 20 out of the tip thing too because he doesn't want people to see it because he wants to get more tips. So it's not in there anymore. So then that leaves all my evidence fucking gone in this guy's pocket already. I'm sorry. These are problems I just can't relate to.

I was trying to think for the last 10 minutes and I always blacked out there. But Hal of the Moon Pittsburgh, the bathroom attendant attendant there has a chess game or checkers game. You can always play with him, I believe. Yeah, you're right. I don't hate that. Which is nice. I don't hate that.

That's cool. He has to play for his tip. I think McFadden's does it too. Maybe it's there. I just remember being very fuzzy in the bathroom playing chess against a bathroom attendant. These hustlers are changing the game. You're going to fucking chess game. You guys don't like games?

You don't like bathroom games? While you're peeing, you want to go, I want to go P3 to P7. What are those numbers, by the way? Those are real things. They're like the coordinates on a battleship game. Yeah. By the way, I used to be great at that game.

Also, guess who? I fucking got that with the quickness. I was like an investigator. I was like Todd, little young, little investigator. They never made that to a phone game. You can play with somebody. We should do that. Who's cuzzy?

Is he wearing glasses? Just a bunch of yinzers. Yeah, we need to make that more diverse. Bro, speaking of yinzers, Dave, Jeopardy, two-time champ. This dude is the truth. At the beginning, he was a little nervous. He was a retired police officer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Huge handlebar mustache.

Used to have a beard when I would go undercover. That's what Dave said. He's a genius. He was nervous at the beginning. You could tell he was a little gun shy. The returning champion was a lady. She was beating him on the pool. He was in dead last.

And it was when this movie thing happened where you had to just fill in the blank for a movie title he took down the whole fucking category and then the next one he rolled right through and then final jeopardy he bet it all and hammered her home that's what we do and then last night last night he was on there again dominant from beginning to end he's getting comfortable now. I don't know if Dave's going to ever give up this title. I think Dave might be, Yinzer Dave on Jeopardy might win 500 games in a row.

He seems to know everything. It's like the questions on Jeopardy, I know none of them. Every once in a while I'll be able to guess one. I'll be able to figure out. A lot of book readers do well there. Seems as if Dave read every book that there ever was.

He's very, he's a talented Jeopardy player. He's hitting his groove here. Oh, yeah. Is movies his category? What's his forte? Movies and history are really what he was crushing with,

but I think that was just when he got confident. I think that was just when he started getting his confidence. I think he has it all because I think Jeopardy, a lot of people get gun shy

because a lot of those big nerds get nervous for tests. A lot of those really smart kids get nervous for tests because they don't have that thing. I think old police officer Dave, I think he found his, I think he's very comfortable. They don't have it. It can't be overstated too. Once you get a groove with the buzzer,

that makes a world of difference. I am a loyal Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy watcher. Dave has all the makings to be the guy. I'm real excited for it because he's just a he looks like he's a guy I would he looks like he's Phil's uncle to be honest. He looks like CFO Phil's

uncle and I'm like, this guy's like somebody I know up there, dominating. So guys like that and girls like that, they just study their whole life, right? They just read and read and read. I think they're just sponges. I think they there, Dominic. So guys like that and girls like that, they just study their whole life, right? They just read and read and read. I think they're just sponges. I think they're just sponges. You'd have to have a photographic memory of sorts.

I think you're right, though. I think you have to be very well read. Because you just pull from shit then that you've seen before. I assume he was just sitting in his cop car reading books instead of fighting crime. He's one of those guys who didn't get anything. I don't know.

Did you see that? You didn't see the handlebars on that guy. He was not just reading. He was fighting crime. Yeah. He's one of those guys that didn't get anything. I don't know. Did you see that? You didn't see the handlebars on that guy. He was not just reading. He was fighting crime. In Pittsburgh, by the way, we're a very crooked city for a long time. Very long time. A lot of Italians. A lot of us Italians. If I know you,

he wasn't patrolled too hard. Dave had a cigarette. He definitely had one of these styrofoam cups with coffee in it. It was probably a Duncan. If definitely had one of these styrofoam cups with coffee in it. Oh, yeah. Always a big mug. It was probably a Dunkin'. If anybody knows Dave out there, which is very possible, by the way, I just thought about that, we would love to interview Dave.

Yes. If and when this run ever ends. That's if it ever ends and when it ends. We would like to have a conversation with him. He's changing the game. That'd be awesome. He didn't pack enough clothes, too. You could tell he just bought the shit he was wearing on episode two.

You could tell he just bought it. Because I don't think about that. I think so. I think maybe he was being too humble. I'll probably go, Dave was a humble guy. He was a public servant. Humility. Learn some, Foxy.

Yeah, Foxy. Whoa. Where'd that come from? I don't know. He said that the virgin humility that you have is not great. Hey, Foxy, by the way, we found out this morning. We just learned it because Todd said it. Looks like every magazine model in the history of magazine models.

Straight out of J.Crew. Is this a compliment? Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. If I could be one of those, I would want to be one of those. We should pimp you out.

Well, thank you, Todd. I appreciate it. Todd wants me to become an agent for Foxy and start selling you to these local magazines. Let's do it. Let's make some money. I don't know if you're going to make any money from those, to be honest.

We've got to get you on the male Victoria's Secret. I think that's the only money that's left. At least it's content. Yeah, we want you to be the picture that's in the back of the photo frames that get delivered at houses that are just the basic human. You are very stock photo. I knew, too. I came in.

I got these new shoes yesterday. I'm like, I know the boys have got something to say. It's just a matter of how long till they notice. I'm pretty much the last one to come into the office today. I walk in and I'm wiping my feet off, getting the snow off. And right away, literally 10 seconds, the entire office is staring at my new shoes with something to say. Foxy, they're good shoes. Couldn't help it.

You came strutting in. He did. He did a moonwalk to dry his shoesy, they're good shoes. Couldn't help it. You came strutting in. He did. He did a moonwalk to dry his shoes. He did a moonwalk. I shade like on a runway. Did a little turn at the end. That was when Todd realized you were a model. And in my head, that was when I saw your shoes.

You can't just be doing a moonwalk as soon as you walk in and not think people are going to look at the shoes. He's walking down. I didn't think the whole office would be sitting there staring at me. You wanted it. You weren't the only one that got it. Old Jeffrey got it as well whenever he walked in. He got a little heat.

Yeah, true. He didn't wipe his off. No. See, you were moonwalking to wipe your shoes off, which was very nice of you. Very nice of you. Old Jeffrey is a betting savant. Oh, yeah. Just handing out winners nightly now.

Oh, boy. Really? NBA winners. Oh, yeah. I didn't know that. Gorms has winners. Oh, Gorms is on top of winners on winners. Gorms!

Let's go. He was down 3,200 to me in a shooting game yesterday. He hit a $6,400 three yesterday. We were streaming the other day. In the fucking 60. We were streaming the other day. In the fucking 60s. We were streaming the other day, and the stream just attacked him because he was in the back just missing layups. What did he say?

He said a guy had just popped up. He was like, who's that guy in the back that just missed a wide open layup? Not great. Not great at basketball but he's got winners I'm crying I'm absolutely crying oh my god

this guy's the best I'm telling you he's a lunatic of a man he is Jeffrey Gorman Jeffrey Gorman is his name he worked at the Colts for like 15 years i think maybe 20 years he worked there he was ursa's right hand guy and then he got a job offer

from fox sports radio him and his cousin had a show show wasn't great i listened a couple times but he and i became real tight friends like when he was at the colts because he handled all the appearances for companies and he handled everything so he was the middleman basically and he was at the Colts, because he handled all the appearances for companies, and he handled everything. So he was the middleman, basically, and he was our stage right now. I wonder how many bathroom attendances he's tipped. Exactly. I'm telling you, this dude, if we ever get old gorms to open up, this guy's got some stories. He was the tour manager for the Black Crows back in the day.

Insane. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this guy. Holy shit. I'm telling you. What did he say when he walked in here? I don't know what his role here is, but I like it. What if he turns out to be like a betting savant?

And we just all get fucking rich. Well, he said he's going to give me another winner today by the end of the day. He literally. Because December's for giving out gifts. On Monday, he comes in. Oh, Jesus, you're an idiot. No, that's what he said. Oh, that's what he said.

He said, I'll have another winner for you by the end of the day because December's for giving out gifts. Let's get him in here. We got to get him in here. Yep. We got to get him in here. Yeah, he was saying you can hit home runs. Home runs anyone in this office. This dude is...

When I... I'll wait for it. Got to work on his layups, though, right? I mean, shit. There was a line that guy said... $6,400 three. That's a pressure shooter. No, it was just that we're not...

I wouldn't punish him. I wouldn't be like, nope. Okay, so. Clean shoes. Great shoes. Fresh new white Adidas. Yeah, you didn't wipe them off. Sloppy day, I don't care.

Okay, so let's talk about this real quick. Go ahead. Dig said that you have just been giving out gifts of gambling picks because it's December and December's for gifts. Yeah, bro, bro, bro. That's what I do. That's what I do.

So what? Tis the season. What? Are you a gambler? Do you gamble? Well, I had a little issue, okay? This is years ago. When the Cardinals, you guys are too young to remember.

Maybe Todd's with me. Cardinals in St. Louis. What about them? One big. My first bet. And then everything went downhill from there. And that was in the early 90s. So you had a little, like, problem.

I know, I know. So I monitor now, and what I do is give out gifts and let you guys waste or get your money, and I look like a king. Again, every December, every December, I'm bro, bro, bro. So that's the way it works. What do you need tonight? Hold on, though.

I need one game. This is coming out tomorrow. By the way, you will be fact-checked as these words come out of your mouth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is a big deal here. Last night's game, which was Wednesdays, what is your pick? Last night's game? Yeah, well, tonight's.

This comes out tomorrow. Right. I'm not ready to do that. It's not. It's not. You've got to understand, bro. If you want a big pot of stew, you ain't going to get it in 30 seconds. Okay.

You better wait about six hours until the crock pot's ready to fire. This pick came at like 5 o'clock yesterday as he was walking out the door. It was a gift, but I'll tell you this, and this is from me to you, Diggs. If the Golden Knights are playing in the next two days, you take them. Love it. That's out in Vegas. He's been a Golden Knights fan since the conception of the team back there. That guy back there from

Iowa. Diehard. What's the reason why we're taking them in the next two days? Diggs. It's the gift. It's giving you a gift, and then you go, hey, where'd you get it? How much was it? I'm like, what do you want from me? You're right.

I just need a gift receipt. Hey, what if he has a guy? I would not put it past him that he has a guy that he is paying on the side that is giving him these picks. I'm not talking about payment, but I do have a guy. I do have a guy. Vegas Golden Knights in the next two days. All right?

My gift to you. Bro, bro, bro. two days. All right, my gift to you. Bro, bro, bro. Merry Christmas. All right? That's what I'm doing. So is that because people go, bro, bro, bro? Yeah, a lot of bros around here over at Pat McAfee. So I'm like, hey, bro, bro, bro, let's go.

Hey, welcome, bro, bro, let's go. I'm always like, ho, ho, ho, like you're Santa Claus. Oh, hey. I like that. Yeah, that's what you did. The Knights play the Blackhawks, 10, ho, like you're Santa Claus. Oh, hey. I like that. Yeah, that's what you did. The Knights play the Blackhawks, 10 p.m. start. All right. Last night?

Thursday night. Tonight. What a gift from bro, bro, bro. Nick, you need a new shirt? Want some new kicks? I saw those kicks you were wearing, those fresh whites. Take the golden Knights. Hey, just let's make sure we wipe off our shoes when we come into the office.

A lot of salt. We have black floors here. Let's not deal with that all because we don't want to be paying the cleaning first. I know. There should be a fine on that. There is. Yeah, we got slippers.

I see what you guys do. Here's what you guys do. You wear the boots or the dark shitbox shoes in here, and then you switch to the white or the thing. I'm like that. Just grab a brush and start scraping. That's another gift to you. Go ahead.

Wear your whites. Hey, this is honestly, it's just working smarter, not harder. Okay. Because we don't clean the place much, so we don't want to. Not yet. Boy, we're going to have to put the cameras on when that cleaning crew comes in. Old five-tool player Jeffrey Gorman. So on Friday, he was like, what's my title going to be?

I was like, let me sleep on it. So yesterday we were talking. I was like, you're like a utility guy. I don't know. You're going to make stuff. You're going to create stuff. You're going to sell stuff. And I was like, you're like a five-tool player?

Is that what you're saying? And he put that in his info immediately on Twitter. Worst case scenario, Ty, you'll like this. All right, worst case scenario, I advance runners. Free at best. That's a given. All right?

You guys are my runners, I'm going to advance you. That's hilarious. You were the tour manager for Black Crows. For a while, yeah, we had a little run there.

That's incredible. A little foggy, a little hazy. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Before cell phones, don't forget. We talked about this

before cell phones, so the shit was hot. That's a real thing, by the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Before cell phones, don't forget. We talked about this before cell phones, so the shit was hot. That's a real thing, by the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a real thing. Foxy and I had this conversation the other day. Foxy has never been an adult and not had the cell phone generation. My whole life.

Wow. So whenever he goes out, his whole life going out has been like everything is recorded. I always said all through college, I was like, I wish I could have just experienced one year, no fucking iPhones on the whole campus. Dude, I can't imagine. That's why we're the greatest generation. Yes. We lived life before the internet, during the internet, and now.

Yeah, but not for that long. That's right. Flying cars. But can I just say one tour manager thing? All right, hold on a minute. Hold on a minute. Just to give you an idea. So we'd be on the bus, and there'd be groupies and all that stuff and they'd be

outside the bus. Hey, can we meet the band? No, no, no. You can take a picture though. Oh, can we come on the bus? No, give me your camera. I'll take a picture for you. Every one of those boys. I'm not happy to say this, but there are many, many a picture out there where I'm just bending over, tying shoes, looking at my Dirt Star. That's the picture

they got. Well, me, another guy, something like that. No face in there, but you know. Of course not. No face in there, but a lot of corn holes back in the day. Not talking bags either. Balloon knots. Got it.

Got it. I hear what you're saying. All right. Hey, in the weight loss thing, who do you think is going to win? I got my man Z. Let's go. AQ Shipley. AQ Shipley got Zito. We just talked to win? I got my man, Z. Let's go. AQ Shipley. AQ Shipley got Zito.

We just talked to him. You got Zito. Yeah. I got Zito. It seems like. I love it. I don't like it. This is like public money.

Yep. How can the reigning champ not be the favorite, though? He's the reigning champ. True. Going in, how can you not say. That happened to the Eagles this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly.

Let's go talk. They don't always say. Reigning champ doesn't always win. No, they weren't. The Eagles weren't favorites, I think, coming back. They, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Let's go talk. They don't always, hey, the reigning champ doesn't always win. No, they weren't. The Eagles weren't favorites coming back. They weren't the favorites. They were pretty fucking high up.

I don't think they were the favorites, though. They were NFC. Their odds were tied for NFC favorites. Yeah, they were. Really? Yeah.

Oh, see, I didn't know that. I thought they had the Rams as the quarterbacks. Well, because Wentz was coming back. Now they get their quarterback on top of a Super Bowl team. They might do, by the way. The Eagles might

get hot. Cowboys-Eagles will decide that division. Cowboys, man. They've become a real team all of a sudden. Good for Jerry Jones. They need one. Mari Cooper. You guys are still buying into the Eagles? Yeah, they're getting hot right now. They're on a run, man. They're getting hot like the Colts.

Colts, big hot streak. Who you got, Gorms? We got Gorms. Run the Colts. Colts, big hot. Who you got, Gorms? Who you got, Gorms? Bro, bro, bro. Run the Cowboys in that division, okay? You think the Cowboys are going to dominate? Boys, again. Hello.

Happy Hanukkah, everybody. What the hell do you want? Bro, bro, bro. God almighty. I mean, the smoke and mirrors in Philly. Diggs is literally writing this down right now. Diggs, this guy's a full degenerate, honestly. I got gifts for you later, Diggs.

I know you do. Him or a guy he texts. I don't care. I don't care where the fuck it comes from. Gorman is a wild individual. He's like 75 years old, too. Looks like he's 28. He's just a wild

no wife no kids no nothing just showed up one day just showed up one day sent me a text hey I'm gonna swing by basically is what he said

and I said what's going on man he said can I do anything here I was like what he's like I can do anything

you know me I mean I can do anything I'm like yeah he's like yeah I think I wanna work here and I was like alright well I He's like, yeah, I think I want to work here. And I was like, all right. We can probably figure something out for you. He's like, okay, good.

Let's do it. I was like, all right, perfect. And I was like, what the fuck just happened? When are you going to come back? He's like, I got to move. Two weeks. And then he just comes in and he is a ball of energy. Juice.

Wait until you hear the rest of this conversation. It's outrageous. It's absolutely outrageous. Another thing that's outrageous. Smooth transition. it's outrageous it's absolutely outrageous he the another thing that's outrageous smooth transition is i've become i've become a guy that likes uh the color gold because i bought that the shoes the chain and the shoe i bought the shoes because of the chain yep the chain was bought by somebody a homeless guy in venice beach Then you go and you get the shoes to match that. All of a sudden, I become a gold guy. Of course.

Or a gold chain in front of Jalen Rose on Get Up while he was wearing a gold chain. I don't know if I'm going to continue to be a gold chain guy, but I know what I will continue to be, gold watch guy. Ooh. Let me tell you why. Movement sent watches here. I've always said this. Movement was one of our original sponsors. Ooh. Let me tell you why. Movement sent watches here. I've always said this.

Movement was one of our original sponsors. Right. And their watches is what they always sponsored. But in my eyes, as not a watch wearer, the Movement sunglasses are the best sunglasses in the game. So anytime they would send me an ad read, it was for the watches. But in my head, all I could turn it into was these sunglasses. Like, I understand you guys are not a sunglass company but you should think about it because

you guys have the best sunglasses in the game they do they're like you got it then they were like they texted me and said hey we got this new line of watches and we think you're gonna like they sent us what 10 watches a lot of them that was a christmas and everybody is now turned into watch people because movement watches look so damn good. So damn good. And they're nowhere near the price. So it's one of those things where you put it on, you don't feel like an asshole because it's not like a $500 watch. Yeah, exactly.

Which people wear $1,000 watches. Like I feel like you, like that chain I wear is a $6 chain. It's a $6 chain. Shoes, whole different story. But the chain six dollar chain i feel like you're wearing something like a you could you could break it easy you lose that but movement it looks like it's a 500 watch no no 95 dollars wow 90 it looks like it's a you look like you're rick flair oh yeah you look like you're Ric Flair. You look like you're Ric Flair with these. No, no. Start at just $95.

Movement has sold over 1.5 million watches in over 160 countries. Quick math. Movement's doing very well as a country. Not as a country, as a company. Quick math. They're doing very well. And there's a reason. There's a reason because they were founded by dropouts, college dropouts.

Two guys basically started as a crowdfunding situation. Then they just built it from there, and now they really achieved their dream, and they're making everybody else's life a lot better.

Join the movement like we have. You worked in the NFL for a long time. A little bit with you. Yep, for the Colts. It was a good time. Not bad. You were fun. I enjoyed working with you.

It was very nice. Anybody, I won't ask you that question. No, don't do that. Anybody you don't enjoy. I won't ask that question. For the Colts, you were a five-tool player for the Colts. Did radio, did TV. You need something done, you want to run to the store, I got it for you.

Whatever you want. Five-tool player. Well, actually, it was six there. There was so much shit going on. Uncle Jimmy, relax a minute. Take a breath. I mean, you got nine assistants on staff. Why are you coming to me?

Jim's a cool dude. Yeah, he's the best. Jim Irsay, cool dude. Big heart on that sucker. Heck yeah. I try to tell people that because obviously demons have happened. But anytime anybody talks about it, I try to let people know, like, Jim Irsay. Oh, good dude.

Guy you want to be friends with. I'm telling you, just such a creative human. He's funny. He's everything, man. Everything. Everything. That meeting on the way out, whenever I was telling him I was retiring,

was an hour and a half long in a conversation with him. The Beatles got referenced. It was next level, everything. John Mellencamp, I think, got referenced in there. Which is bro, yeah. Yeah, and just talking to Jim Irsay, if that guy, that guy's life should be a movie. I love it.

If you get a 15, 20-minute interview with him. It's two hours. Yeah, it's two hours and two questions. Yes. That's it. You're lucky to get a football answer in there, and then you're going to music and boom, two hours. But listen to what he's saying.

It's like whenever he was tweeting these crazy things, it was like, yeah, but if you actually decipher what he's saying there, that's probably one of the deepest things you'll ever read on the fucking internet. You know what he is that people don't know? You know what he is? Hey, you go, all right, take 697, times it by three, divide that by four. 437. He's got Rain Man qualities.

I'm telling you. Well, that's what it feels like when you're talking. Yes. That's why some local media, they'll get to do an interview with him. And then other local media that didn't do the interview will take shots at how Jim Mercy is answering questions. And I'm like, yeah, but if you get past all of it and just listen to what he's fucking saying, there's some magic coming out of that mouth.

Here's what we said for years. Bro, get ready to go to a buffet. You're not going to like everything. Just take a little bit of this. Take a little bit of this. Put it on your plate. Write your story. That's how it is. It's two questions and you're done. Do you have an impression at all? Of Ursa? Yeah. Brother!

Now these goddamn Tennessee Titans. Now, well, the quarterback. Tell me his name again. Mariota. Mariota, yeah. We got to continue.

Yeah, we're good. No, but I'll tell you what. He's been in it, man. And he's got a freak show of a memory. And if you give him your number, Pat McAfee, say, Jim, give me a call later. It's 317 yada, yada, yada, yada. That's it.

It's not written down. It's not in the phone. It's in the head. Really? Yeah, it's like that with numbers, man. Yeah, good for him. Yeah, good dude. Good guy.

Good guy. He paid for this. I will say this. A great story on him. You know, I'm not going to open up the crate or nothing like that. That's my guy. But the funny thing, one of the funniest things was when he goes, I'm talking with him on the phone, and he goes,

Brother, need a little help. Where you at? I'm at the gas station. Why? You don't pump your gas. I know. These sons of bitches didn't put gas in my car. So I said, here's what you do.

Go into the guy, flip him a hundo, have him come out, pump your gas. No, God damn it, I'm going to do it myself. All right, well, turn this machine on. You got to get the guy 100, all right? So he goes in, gets the guy 100, comes back out while on the phone with him. All right, press the 92 or 93 button, put the stick in the car, and pull it. All right? And he goes, all right, good to go.

He pumps fuel for like 30 seconds. That's enough. Go get your change. No, I'm good. Out there. Gone. You just wanted to make it home. Yes.

Yes, because he just wanted to make it home. So he just went in, pumped about $5 worth of fuel, gave a hundo and drove off. Imagine being at that point. He hasn't pumped his own gas in probably 30 years. Oh, no. There's tanks at the facility, tanks at the house. I didn't know that. Having tanks at your house is the most ball-removing ball time.

He just pulls up and there's a guy there. You didn't see the tanks in the back, did you? No. Yeah, they're there. Can I do that at my house? Yeah. I mean, if you want to pay, sure. They bring up a big reservoir, throw it with unleaded.

Me and Jim Merson. This sounds like a bad idea. Me and Jim Merson got tanks of gas. But you got to get a guy, though. A who? You got to get a guy that's going to pump. Then you got to tip him. If you got to heat him up.

Oh, no. Oh, no. I pump my own gas. I wash my own hands in the back. That is really cool to do when you pull into one of those gas stations and it goes ding, ding, ding, and they actually come out and pump your gas. That's actually like you have to do that. I hate that.

Really? I hate it. I've never seen it. Especially in the winter. There's some cities. We had one in Jersey. All the time. What were you?

How old were you? Were you in the 50s? I'm 30. Where did they pump fuel storage? I don't know. There's one in Plumboro. There's a few up in Massachusetts. I'll go out of my way to go.

Plum is where the ball is ball and the players play, too. So have a little respect. Also in Jersey, you're not allowed to pump the gas. It's against the law. Also Oregon, I think. Or something out there. It was. They just changed it.

They were worried they didn't know how. There were some people that freaked out. Oh, Ursae. Did you hear fucking Ursae? God has lost his mind. Jim Ursae is the man. He's the greatest, yeah. Hey, we're happy you're here.

Yeah, I'm happy to be here. Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. You'll figure it out. Five-tool player, maybe six-tool, seven-tool. That cleaning lady, the estimate she gave was spot on, by the way. It was big, right? No, no.

I don't think so. I don't think so. She's got to clean this whole place. This place, like every other place I've lived, has not been cleaned since the day we moved in. Since we've talked. True. Hey, since we talked, I blew lived, has not been clean since the day we moved in. Since we've talked. True. Since we talked, I blew her a kiss.

She's down $200. That's a true story, boys. I'm just here to save some money and get some shit done. All right. I'm going to end up tipping that lady the extra $200. That's going to happen, which is nice. Oh, I forgot to tell you, boss. I got a lunch meeting at noon in Broad Ripple.

That's all right. I'm on a plane. All right. So you got to do what you got to do. Gormat. Hey, what a human. Gorm's gifts. That's it.

Here's the thing with you plum guys, okay? We're just talking smack. We're just talking shit. You guys want to fight. Hey, here's the thing with you plum guys, okay? We're just talking smack. We're just talking shit. You guys want to fight.

Hey, it's true. I mean, I'm not going to say what I said, but, you know, threw a little Sid the Kid out there the other day, and everybody's like, wait, wait, wait, what the fuck did you say? Is that what you're calling? Take your fucking jacket off, bro. Let's go. You know, it's like, hey, you know, I'm bro, bro, bro here.

I fucking came in one day. Steelers had just lost, and I actually just wanted Diggs' opinion. I know, it's like, Hey, you know, I'm bro, bro, bro. I fucking came in one day. Steelers had just lost and I actually just wanted digs his opinion. I go digs top loss last night. Him and Nick were fucking up. Shut the fuck up. Foxy. You don't even know what it's like. You're a lion's fan.

It doesn't even matter. It's like, yo, we go to zero to 100 real quick. Oh my God. I never, I'm never going to ask again. One time I was in the South side and we'd been drinking all night, and it was the end of the night.

By the way, South Side is a place you've got to keep your head on a goddamn swivel. So my head, and I'd lived there for like eight years. I know to keep the head on a swivel. And I come out of this pizza place. I just bought a nice little piece of pie. And I looked to my right, and there's a group of Ravens fans walking down the street. And they're fucking singing. And I was like, well, this is a situation where you have to.

You've got to put your city. So I handed, handed my peach to the guy and we, me and this guy square off and we both throw haymakers at the same time. We both hit each other in the head.

We shake hands and we walk off. Like that's just something that you had to be done at that point. He had to do it. Yeah. And you had to do it.

Yeah. You don't walk around my city fucking in a Ravens jersey just singing, okay? Respect. That was young Diggs though. That was that was like 22 23 years old i went got knocked out by a guy him and two of his friends got knocked in the same strip here this south side place legit one of the it has a guinness world record i think for most bars in a per square foot by the way most bars per square foot is going to lead to some things. For instance, after those bars let out,

you got to have your head on a swivel out there. It is an unsafe place to be just roaming around. Not because of anything bad. It's because of other drunks just swinging at you for no reason at all. None at all. You see an affliction shirt. You cross the street.

You sense a little bit of something. It's like, oh, no. That group is probably Going to come over here And try to fight us Let's just keep it moving here You say some Kumsi kumsai shit

Unbelievable I know I'm not I love you guys But I'm just saying I wasn't you know I wasn't kicked in the nuts by that. By the way, one of his little five tools he's selling, Primanti's a huge sponsor of the show. And I love it.

Because I went back after that first episode, and then I get it. I get it, you know? I get it. I get it. Yeah, I'm in. I'm in, Primanti. I can't even pronounce it it. Yeah, I'm in. I'm in Primanti. I can't even pronounce it right. They're not a...

Is that on the docks down there? Isn't there a Primanti on the docks? You actually did say it. A lot of people say Primanti Brothers. No, it's down in the strip. Primanti. Primanti. The original's down in the strip.

There's one in the south side too. Quit eyeballing me like that. It was a fucking sandwich, Kappa. You're like you want to throw with me. It's a sandwich, all right? I love sandwiches a lot. Primanti's not current sponsor either. It'll get there. It was a fucking sandwich, Coppa. You're like you want to throw with me. It's a sandwich, all right? I love sandwiches a lot. Permanente's not a current sponsor either. They'll get there.

No, they already were. I am a fan of the sandwich. I love their sandwiches. You guys talked it up for a long time, and we finally got it here. I think they got rid of the one that I was going with. Oh, the Italian something. Crescent? I don't know.

It was something like that. Cristini. There it is. I think they got rid of it. That thing was unbelievable. I've only ever eaten one sandwich from there. I don't stress. Capiccent? I don't know. It was something like. Cristini. There it is. I think they got rid of it. That thing was unbelievable. I've only ever eaten one sandwich from there. I don't stress. Capicola?

No, the Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh. What is it? It's a steak. Yeah, it's a hamburger. Cheese steak? No, no, no. It's not a cheese steak.

It's a cheese steak. That's what you get, isn't it? Yeah. You get the Pittsburgh? It's a beef patty. Yeah, it's a beef patty. We call it a cheese steak. You order a Pittsburgh?

Yeah. So that's because Philly has cheesesteak? Yeah, I'm not eating that fucking shredded garbage. Oh, listen to that. I love a nice little regional conversation. It's dog shit. You don't like a loose meat sandwich? No, it's dog shit.

What's Indiana known for? Tenderloins. Cheesesteak is so good. Yeah, it's the best. Pepperoni rolls are also really good. Those are delicious. Pepperoni rolls are delicious. You just got to put one more layer of pepperoni on it than you would think,

you know, so you don't chintz out on the people. And then they really enjoy it. Shout out Kilroy's. Is it lunchtime yet? Just one more layer of pepperoni. It is 11 o'clock. When we used to do the Sirius Live show, we would start talking about food around 11 o'clock every single time.

Yeah, it always happened. Oh, yeah, because you guys are currently in plumping season still. We talked about that earlier. It's not a good idea. AQ said plumbing's not a good idea. Just don't. Just let him do it. Well, Zito's going to do it on his own, whether I say it or not. Zito is a master manipulator of words.

I think we've all learned that with Zito's thoughts. Master manipulator of words. Right now, he is spin zoning him just eating everything he possibly can because he has to fast for a month as he's doing this for strategy. And as his weight consultant, I'm 100% on board. 100% on board with him doing this.

Hey, you guys have a plan. Don't let anyone else talk you out of it. You guys do your plan. Stick to your plan. I do love how everyone has different plans now. That's what Coach Matt Rule told me. Smart. Coach Matt Rule from Baylor in my color commentating interview pre-production meeting.

My first one I'd ever been in in my entire life. Sleeveless, obviously. Hey, old news, but when I saw that feedback yesterday out of Todd at about 10.15, big burger, big fries, that's a man committed to this. Yep. Oh, yeah. That's a man committed. Boy, I tell you what.

Matt Rule. Yeah, Matt Rule told me that the thing was when you have a strategy, you've got to stick with it no matter how many losses you have. That's how Napoleon lost. He didn't stick with the strategy. So Tom Coughlin told him that. Tom Coughlin told him Napoleon did a lot of things wrong. But Tom Coughlin told him you've got to stick to the plan.

And just no matter what, stick to the plan. Same with betting. You stick to the formula. You're not going to win every game. But at the end of the season, you can't look at betting at one game at a time. You've got to look at it over a season. You take Gorm's gifts. Tell you lose wars.

Bro, bro, bro. Strategy no matter what. Tell you lose a war. Tell you that. That's what happened to Rome. No, but let's keep doing what we're doing. Kevin Costner stuck to the plan. Kevin Costner stuck to the plan whenever he was the GM for the Browns.

Everybody remembers that. Everybody did that. Yep, absolutely. That took a lot of discipline. Billy Bean did it, too. Brad Pitt? Yep. Yeah, the first half of that season.

It wasn't great. People were fucking stupid. So do you think Brad Pitt is telling the Browns because they tried to do that for one year? Like, it's going to take more than a year. Correct, probably. And the Browns are like, get the fuck out of here. Probably, yeah.

Well, you have to adapt or die, but you have to stick with the plan. So first you adapt, then you formulate the plan, then you stick with it. Patience is a virtue. Live as if you're going to die tomorrow. Correct. Trust the process.

Same thing. Yeah, it is. Win now, though. So there's a lot of contradicting statements. It's all just... Situations are situational. Ain't that right, Ty? That's exactly right. I said that the other day. I caught myself immediately. Situations

are situational. Some Tomlin would say. Yeah, well, I mean, it makes sense if you don't think about it. You know what I mean? If you don't think about it. He immediately said that was one of the dumbest things I've ever said. I've gotten like 15 tweets about it. A lot of people tweet me about it, that they're going to sneak situations or situation into their everyday conversation somehow.

And I'm like, thanks. Real high moment for me. Big meeting. If you're listening to this show today from 1030 to about 1, I am in a huge boardroom-like meeting. Would you say biggest meeting so far? Of my life? Yeah.

Well, I mean, maybe short of negotiating your NFL contract. No, no, no. This is definitely the biggest meeting of my life here. Here we go. What are you wearing? Sleeveless. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Have to. Stick to the plan. Hey, stick to the plan. No, because I'm not going to wear the holy jeans. I'm going to wear the holy black page pants, though. Yeah, okay. Those are nice. Page are classy, so they'll play.

It might be the no-hole page, by the way, because we might have to walk through New York. I think it's going to be cold. Yeah, it is cold. The holes could do damage to me, so maybe I just wear the foley pants. New York, good place to wear Foley jeans. Fashion-wise? Yeah.

That'll be a game time. I'm packing both. But I'm currently sitting in a meeting right now with a lot of big, big, big numbers being thrown around. Suits? All suits. For sure. But you gotta be you. The plan is what it is, and the plan is built around you being you.

Don't deviate. Don't deviate. Don't deviate from the plan. Yeah. I asked Michael Cole the night before I did the Fox Sports color commentator, should I deviate from the plan? I can't believe I even doubted. Michael Cole was like, no, no, no. You be you, Billy Bean.

You be you. Good advice. Me and Phil Maines are walking into this meeting. It's the dumbest thing in history. Phil going sleeveless? No, no. He asked me what I was wearing, though, for sure, because he wants a gauge.

He'll probably just wear probably dress pants and a polo. Like a little collared shirt. Yeah, probably like a polo or something. Oxford, plum hockey. Yeah, probably a plum hockey. Maybe I go in there with my rent and a tie and club. Sleeveless. Couple bocce balls.

Boys, before we get started, Suki, get close to this little fucking ball here. I'm excited for it. It's been a blast. Thank you all so much for listening. Hashtag Ngang. Send me luck, by the way. Yes.

Because just like you all kids were in your classes, I assume you were on your phones the entire time, we had T9 text and we weren't allowed to be even seen with it. So you had a T9 text under your leg. It was the best texting for hidden text. Yes, exactly. It was like that scene in The Departed. Yeah, 3-1.

3-44-1. Yeah, yeah. Money sign. Yeah, I used to be able to fucking. Oh, dude, because you had buttons that you could feel. Oh, yeah, yeah. I think if you give me a couple days, it's just like everything. You give me a couple days to get back into it, I'll figure it out. If you get that phone back, you'd be able to fucking... Oh, dude, because you had buttons that you could feel. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think if you give me a couple days... It's just like everything. You give me a couple days to get back into it, I'll figure it out.

If you get that phone back, you'd be able to do it instantly, I think. I think so. Hey, help me out here. Help me out here. I'm old. I'm older. Hold on. In today's day and age in high school, whether it's Plum or here in Indianapolis, can the

kids have their phone in class? No idea. Sometimes. Sometimes. Sometimes. I think it's like half and half. This is the guy. I don't know.

My senior year of high school. I'm talking, you know. Yeah, yeah. My senior year of high school, they changed the rules so you could have your phone in school. But as far as classroom goes, I don't think you can just be on your phone. No, you can't. We didn't have laptops in high school.

A couple of my friends are teachers, and in their classroom, you can use your phone for anything that's required in the class to help you. It makes sense. Because that's life. Yeah. I think a lot of schools are just commissioning iPads for kids now. Yeah, that is what's happening. Because they don't want them using all the other bullshit.

They're getting away from textbooks, and then everything's just on the internet. Yeah, but won't half of the kids throw up some porn? No, you can't. They got the filter. No Wi-Fi. This isn't Starbucks, Gorman. There's rules. Crank and stick. Starbucks. Crack and stick. Crank and stick.

Starbucks. Crank and stick. Send me some because I'll probably be on my phone, I assume. Probably shouldn't be. Something to think about. Gotta think about which pants, holy ones or not. Gotta think whether or not I have my phone out at all.

If my phone's out at all, I'm gonna look at it. If it's in my pants, whether holy or fool. Maybe take Zito's briefcase. Put it in there. That'll impress him. If I open that fucking briefcase, Zito's got a briefcase that literally looks like a little kid

that's about to run away from home. And I only know that because I had that exact briefcase I ran away one time. You had to go back. Yes, exactly. His briefcase is filled with the most childish shit I've ever seen in my entire life. Our Christmas card's in there, too. Exactly.

It's unbelievable. The only thing he's missing is some Slim Jims. I think he's got nerds in there, though. I think there's some nerds in there. A pair of glasses with a fake nose falls off. It's unbelievable. Kid's unbelievable. All right, hashtag endgame, hashtag endgame.

Send me some motivational texts, tweets, pictures, or something hilarious to break up the monotony. I think I'm going to be pretty fucking bored early in this thing. Suits. Anything that makes fun of suits, I think, would be a nice play, too. There we go. So if I open it while in front of them, that's good. Yes.

Yeah, that'll help out with the negotiation. Well, it might piss you off a little less, just in case they might be running your, you know, might not be a great. There's going to be so much handshaking tomorrow. I can't even fathom it. I can't even fathom how much handshaking there's going to be tomorrow. You should get one of those like pack of gum shocker things. Oh, the.

Just be doing that to everyone. Maybe put on, maybe put like a whoopee cushion down on somebody's seat. Maybe just turn us. Hey, remember names too. Remember names. I do. You're good? John and James Franklin.

Very good. Normally, I put... So what I do as soon as I meet somebody, I put their face with somebody I grew up with the same name. So I just link them together like they're a couple. Good works. That's great. I got to try something because I go back a second time.

Hey, guy. Yeah. There he is. Yeah. A lot of energy. Yeah. Don't know your name, but what's up but that's what i do so normally i'm pretty good but if i hadn't met that person yet in my life that's that's when it gets a little tough so if i hear a name like ty for instance was the first tie that i ever met right so it was tough like the first week or so i'm very

good at names and i was around ty like three times in one week and i couldn't remember his fucking name because i'd never met a tie before so that was an interesting situation for me i got yeah you know what i mean yeah you meet somebody like zito was just so outlandish it's like oh i think i can remember the name zito but i had never met a zito before so it's like that kind of gets a little that kind of debunks the malfunction. There's a little malfunction. Hey, remember I held up the picture of all the crew here, and I'm like, dude, I've been here a couple of days.

Give me names again. Give me names again. You guys don't know that, but I actually did that, you know? Not you, Gorman. The only one I knew was Digzo. He's my guy. He's a degenerate. Yeah, he's my guy.

Roll, roll, roll. We were pulled together early. By the way, this is a one-way relationship, Gorman. I'd like you to know that. You keep giving them good picks. This is a good friendship. Good. You give them some bad ones, probably going to turn a different one.

Like your money mistress, huh? Yeah. There you go. All right. I'll take that. Respect. All right. You guys have a great day.
