The Pat McAfee Show - PMS 2.0 030 - 210 Yards Guy & Lone Sunday Night Football Touchdown Guy Join Us. Stacked Show.

Episode Date: December 13, 2018

Today's episode is absolutely loaded. First, budding 49ers superstar, arguably the best TE in the NFL right now and friend of the show, George Kittle, calls in hot off his 210 yard performance on Sunday. They chat about the game and why he didn't eclipse the record after his monster first half, he breaks down a live game of PIG being played between the 9ers Specialists and Joe Staley, he takes issue with something Pat Angerer said, and they discuss wrestling some more as George presents a West Virginia vs. Iowa wrestling match. (1:32-11:47). Next, one of Pat's former teammates and one of the most athletic lineman in the NFL, offensive tackle for the Chicago Bears, Bradley Sowell, calls in coming off scoring the only touchdown in Sunday night's tilt against the Rams. They discuss how his career has been going up to this point, how hard he had to beg to be on the receiving end of that touchdown Sunday, his golf game and whether he'd ever consider turning pro, and the atmosphere in the Bears' locker room right now (17:20-28:47). Later, Pro introduces a new segment titled, "A reading from the book of.." where he highlights one of the guys' blogs from this past week. They also discuss Digs' recent Steelers rant and dive into an incredible NFL conversation including a lock from Gorman for all the brobrobro's. Also included is Pat's interview with Mike Florio on Pro Football Talk discussing some things going on in the NFL (1:05:16-1:17:45), and Pat runs through some of the songs compiled from his year end Spotify playlist. Closing out the show is an interview with Purdue legend and national inspiration, Tyler Trent, to help start your weekend with some positivity(1:39:09-1:59:00). It's a great one.

There's George Kittle. Jesus Christ. Five more yards. Ladies and gentlemen, calling in now is a man from Iowa. A man that wears an Austin 316 shirt into games because it means that there's an attitude to him. And in the first half this past weekend, you watched him put up almost record-breaking numbers. Tight end for the San Francisco 49ers.

Friend of the show. 210 yards and two quarters of football. George Kittle. You got better than the first time, man. Well, George Kittle. You got better than the first time, man. Well, you did too. 210 yards and two fucking quarters. That's incredible.

How are you, man? Yeah, it's pretty fun. I'm great, man. You know, got out of practice and, you know, looking ahead to Seattle. But I couldn't say no to you. I got to be on your show. Well, I appreciate that so much. I told the story on Tuesday's show about my attempt to get you onto this show at halftime sending you a DM, hoping that you won and the whole thing.

You ended up winning, and I would have no idea when I sent you that message that you would end the game with the same exact amount of yards. Neither did I. That was crazy. I watched Shanahan mic'd up, and i heard him say to you i wish i would have got you five more yards you said no worries your team seems to love the shanahan you guys love what's going on over there how's the team feel how do you feel how's the team feel same question twice uh yeah i mean uh shanahan he's the man uh he's incredible i mean just uh the

offense every single weekend uh weekend a week out i'm just getting guys open running you know similar plays play actions you know good run scheme uh it's really fun to play for him you know we always have a great time uh you know locker room's awesome too we install a basketball hoop so we get some shots up which is pretty pretty nice. Let's go. Focusing on important things. Yeah, let's go. How's your shot? You pretty good? No, I'm trash. Why is that? I played a five in high school.

I don't really shoot that much. Just work underneath there. You're an effort guy, high effort guy. Get you a lot of rebounds. I'm that guy that you saw out there. He plays football. He's going to box you out. He's going to get rebounds.'m not yeah you know i'm that guy that you saw out there that was like oh he plays football he's gonna box you out he's gonna get rebounds he's gonna pass back out to the perimeter get more shots up that guy's here for the five that guy's here for the five fouls say that again sorry that guy's here for the five fouls oh if if i didn't fall out i

was upset i could imagine that is the case so know, my dad played football his whole life, right? And he didn't know a lick about basketball, but he always told me, if a guy comes in the lane, foul him as hard as you can because then he won't ever come in the lane again. And that's what I prided myself on. Just being. You go play like in. Just like hockey checks.

That was me. You go play at LA Fitness and just ruin people's days. No free points. Not in this kiddo swat house no way yes that's all that's about all my pickup games go okay 210 yards in one half honestly how do you pick up zero yards in the second half what was it a complete change of scheme did the quarterback say no more for you did shanahan draw up plays where you're the third, fourth option? What happened?

We realized that I had exactly 69 catches, so we didn't want to ruin that. You tight ends are the biggest meatheads I think I've ever fucking heard in my life. I take that as a compliment. You should. The 210 yards, a lot of it was a long sprinting. You showed off some speed. You showed off some speed there.

You looked fast. Did you know that you were going to be able to pull away from NFL guys when you got into the NFL? You know, I thought I had a shot at it. I fully believe in, you know, football speed. You get better at drilling, pumping, you're a little bit faster and stuff like that. But, you know, that was definitely a fun one.

I got a really good block from my receiver, Dante Pettis. And, you know, after I saw that that was gone, kind of looked over my left shoulder and didn't see anybody. So I thought I could take it to the house. Did you do the Jumbotron lookup? You know what? I have done that. I never got the opportunity to do it in college.

I didn't get to do it last year. But I've definitely used it a couple times this year. And it's very exhilarating because uh i don't get to do it very often but it's really fun that's that in my head that's what i'm thinking i'm thinking if i'm ever in an open field a it's not going to be for long somebody's going to catch me but if i'm ever in the open field and i can look up at the jumbotron while i'm sprinting i think that's peak football moment right there it It really is, but it also gets you because two plays before that, I was running away, and I would have had a 60-yard touchdown.

But as I was looking up to the screen, I got tripped up from behind. So it didn't work out for me well that time. You weren't Forrest Gump-focused on running. You were distracted by the jumbotron. I know. I've got to be better than that. I mean, Pat Anger has taught you better than to be better than that. Pat Anger has taught you better than to do that, George. I will say this.

The only thing that me and him have a little quarrel with is I like getting water from trainers. I don't like holding the bottles because it makes my gloves wet. So that's the only thing I have against his pillars. George! George! I don't know how this is going to go over with Pat anger. I'm being honest when I say this. I just, he seems like those are his five pillars of life. You never trust a reborn virgin born again. Christian born again.

Christian. Yeah. Sorry. It's on me. You, um, something, something, something. And you never, ever, ever. Don't you ever let another man squirt a water bottle in your mouth. something, something, something, and you never, ever, ever, don't you ever,

let another man squirt a water bottle in your mouth. And you say that you're doing it because you don't want your gloves to get wet and slick. Yeah, I mean, I also just want to start some drama with Pat because I think that'll be fun. He is a tag team champion right now. You're a wrestling fan. He is a tag team champion of the world in Iowa. You know, and he's tag team champions with one of my best friends

too, Steve Manders. I want to be a part of that. I want to make it a triple threat and I don't think we'd lose a match. You guys can be a little click. That's not a bad thing. Like the Shield. You guys start showing up like the Shield and just start dominating folks. I would really enjoy that because

wrestling is very underrated and I thoroughly enjoy getting in the ring. Hell yeah. How many times have you been in the ring? I've been to Seth Rollins Wrestling School, so I get to get in when they're practicing when I'm back during the offseason. But in a live show, I've only been in once, and I got to do the Cold Stone Stunner on somebody. It was definitely one of the most exhilarating moments of my life.

Okay. I've also been in the ring one time at an armory in southern West Virginia. I gave a sweet chin music to a guy named War Pig. Counted them out. One, two, three. I'm still undefeated. Who's next? How about you?

You're undefeated? Well, technically, mine was post-match. So, I might have gotten thrown out of the event. Oh, so you can't. It was an illegal thing. but I really enjoyed it. And he sold the crap out of it, too, which made it even better. And it was in front of like 100 people, too, which was just fantastic. Even better there.

What is your, who's your favorite? Stone Cold Steve Austin. Who's that? What's going on? What are we missing right now? Say that again, sir. You broke up. What's going on in the background there?

There's a celebration happening. I'd like to be a part of it. The guys are playing pig, and it's Robbie Gold versus Bradley Pinion, our specialists are playing, and now Joe Saley's hopping in to get a couple shots up. Okay. What are the letters?

Who's winning? Robbie Gold, sneaky athlete. This guy runs marathons, I think. He's always been skinny. A rebirth of a career out there in 49ers after the Chicago Bears fucked him over. Bradley Pinion. Robbie just shot it.

Okay. And I think he drained it. Okay, what is the letters? Joe Staley just drained it, too. Oh, my God. It comes around to Bradley Pinion. He's a shot's up right now. Missed.

I know it. Nope, he missed it. I know it. I could tell. I. He missed it. I know it. I could tell. I could just tell by the wait time there. Staley came in very quick. Then it was a— Yeah, Staley's a monster.

Absolute monster. Freak athlete. Who's going to win that game over there? Is it Robbie Gold or Joe Staley? My money's on Robbie because, you know, specialists, you guys have a lot of time in the locker room when we're all at meetings all day. That's true. So he gets a lot of shots up you're gonna know full conversation

about that later in this show actually do you guys have cornhole over there say it again do you have cornhole over there we somewhere I'm pretty sure we have them somewhere and we played last year a lot and uh honestly I'm not gonna lie. Beathard is the best cornhole player I've ever been around in my entire life. I'm sure. It's really annoying. Yeah, it is. I can see how playing with a guy who doesn't let anybody score points against him,

is that what C.J. does? Yeah, he literally, I mean, he puts like every time he'll put two in the hole, no matter what. He's got excellent accuracy. That's good. He's got excellent accuracy. That's unbelievable. All right, have a good one. I tell Robbie Gold, Staley, and Bradley Pinion,

I wish them good luck in their pig game. To you, I hope you become a part of the World Tag Team Champions of Iowa. That would be awesome. And I hope you get 216 yards next weekend. Yeah, that would be pretty fun. You know, we're going to uh iowa versus west virginia at some point you know that for basketball no no wrestling get in the ring hey i am all about that now listen i won't tell you boy i got some now i got some heat coming behind this right foot there hey quito okay you got that stunner there me too this right foot though strongest leg to ever walk this earth now, my right thigh's a lot bigger than my left, the left don't

mean a damn, but the right one's gonna deliver a kick that might pop that jaw back, might never catch 210 yards ever again in your life, Mr. Kittle, CTE study's gonna be a real thing if you get in the ring with me, Mr. Kittle. You can pop a promo at the blink of an eye, can't you? I just did, yeah.

Yeah, that was pretty impressive. Hey, I appreciate it. Knock on wood, that was awesome. I appreciate you. You had an incredible weekend. It's an honor to chat with you. Good luck. Keep it moving out there in San Fran.

Bradley Sell, I give a damn about you. Ladies and gentlemen, joining me now is a man that went to school at Ole Miss. If he was to focus on just golfing, he'd be in the PGA probably in three months from now. He can pitch a baseball 87 miles an hour and on Sunday night football, he was the only man to

score a touchdown between the Bears and the Rams. Offensive tackle, offensive lineman, athlete, white guy, Bradley Sal. Wow, what an introduction, man. I appreciate it. You see that? A couple round of applause there for you, too. How are you, brother?

Good. How the heck are you, man? Life is good. I'm getting a little bit older over here, but so are you. I had no idea you were on the goddamn Bears. You quit social media. Yeah, it was too distracting, man so i um gave it up then yeah but i don't think anybody knows on the bears actually and so i did that well the issue was i kept up with your beautiful family on the internet you were with the colts how many years were you with the colts i was there one year with you okay so you're with the colts you are a swing offensive lineman basically out, out of Ole Miss,

and then you end up in Arizona, right? Yeah, I was in Arizona for the Colts for one, Arizona for three, then I went to Seattle for one, and I've been at Bears for two. Look at you. You're like a real journeyman. Yeah, oh, yeah. Just, you know, all over the place. What have you learned?

What have you learned about the NFL from when I met you your first year in the NFL to now? What have you learned from going to different organizations and things like that? Have you learned anything awesome? Dude, everyone's different, obviously, and then, you know, the more you can do, man. I just try to do a little bit of everything so they keep me around. You long snap? everything so they keep me around you know you long snap yeah you know you know last year in preseason um i end up long snapping whenever pat scales towards acl in the first um first quarter i don't have a snapper through the game and it's like 95 degrees my hands were taped up

and i end up um you know having to convert to a long snapper for the game was there any conversation ever about you potentially being a starting long snapper no touchdown by the way if you become a starting long snapper i know i know i did make a tackle though no game that i long snap um yeah and they were just always wanting to do it but i didn't um i don't know man i didn't want to didn't want to do it okay club dub has swept the nfl world by storm the chicago bears locker room becomes a nightclub after a win it's club yeah club dub yeah it is dude it's actually unreal whenever you get in there it's you know all the lights are out strobe lights going and um that's actually the time to practice your dance moves like nobody can really see you so like that's when i was like preparing if i ever had my day i was

like dude i can just do whatever right now and practice for it so i actually got a lot a lot of reps in doing that so there's actually great practice to be honest with you whenever you celebrated there you looked good i commented i was a great dance too a lot of people i don't think i don't think you got enough love on the dance because the catch caught everybody by surprise. We'll get into that in a little bit. But your dance, there was rhythm in there. You didn't look like you didn't know what you were going to do.

You looked good in there. Listen, bud, as soon as I had my chance, dude, that's my one moment. I may never get that again. I mean, honestly, if nobody would have touched me, I was going to drop it down, too. I was about to hit two bang-bangs down, but I got hit from behind. So, yeah, I was about to let it rip. It was not about to stop there.

Your coach went on Scott Van Pelt, and he said that in warm-ups, you stand right in front of him and throw a football like 80 yards, and then you catch the ball in practice. He said he knew if the ball was anywhere near you, you were going to catch that. Have you been lobbying for that play for a while? Oh, yeah, dude. You know how it is. You got to freaking beg.

I mean, I was throwing myself on him, you know, just making him see it, you know. So, I mean, he was off by like two yards. I mean, I throw like 78 or so at practice, pre-practice. But, yeah, I make sure he sees it, though. So, I mean, just in case, you know how it is, Pat. Dude, like, just get me on the field some kind of way. I don't care. I'll cover a kick, dude.

Like, I don't care. Just get me out there. You're a freak athlete. It was very surprising to see how smooth of an athlete you were. We put a video up the other day. I got a chance to pull some of your videos from your old social media posts and find them on you golfing, dunking, pitching, snapping, and then this weekend you're catching a football.

Do you think you're the most athletic offensive lineman in the game? I mean, I think overall, like sport to sport, like I'll crush every other lineman at golf. That won't even be close. By the way, I think that is like sport to sport, like I'll crush every other lineman at golf. That won't even be close. By the way, I think that is true. Are you a scratch? Yeah, I got to a plus one, about a plus point for the year and a half ago. But I had to work extra hard.

I was a terrible dad during that time. I had to practice every day. Bad dad of the year. Yeah, as far as like golf and like some other stuff, there's probably some dudes that can play some basketball a little better than me and stuff. But I think overall, I'm up there. I would like to say I'm up there.

It was a great snag, man. You looked very athletic when you went up there and got that. I think in my mind, you would rather have it out there than at your body like an easy one. Yeah, that's what I told him. I said, just put it high so i can go up there and like snag it um but dude people don't even realize me and you did this first like back in indy you remember the fake field goals we ran and stuff dude we were we were snagging out seven years ago like this is this is old news you know i'll tell you what i talked about that after it happened i said in practice when you run a fake

that involves an offensive lineman you always throw it happened. I said, in practice, when you run a fake that involves an offensive lineman, you always throw it to the offensive lineman in practice because the reaction from the offensive line, the defensive line, the entire team is electric. And you, anytime you were in, I would throw the ball to you in all the fakes in practice. And it was always a celebration. Always.

Yeah, we did it multiple times. It was awesome. And Grickxton fired me hey hey he fired a lot of people man he ran my ass out of there too i hope he was watching another night i hope he was watching another night i haven't still got i still haven't got a text from him yet though but well he's i'm sure he's watching i assume everybody it was sunday night football that game your team has become a good fucking team all of a sudden. What has Khalil Mack really done inside the locker room?

It seems as if it's been a full transformation. Dude, he's literally, I feel like I'm being honest, if Jesus was like a football player, he would be, him and Khalil Mack would be like, that's what I feel like he would come down from heaven looking like. Dude, he is. It's Christmas. Dude, like I have to block him every day. And like he is as freakiest, like the freakiest athlete I've ever had. I mean, it's crazy, dude. Like this dude is an absolute freak. Is he good in the locker room too?

It seems like the team has rallied around. Yeah. Great dude. Like super good dude, man. Kind of quiet, pretty humble. Like doesn't talk a whole lot. Like just a good dude. Like he's almost like he has like the same. Remember how Robert Matthews was just kind of quiet, pretty humble, like doesn't talk a whole lot, like just a good dude. He's almost like he has the same – remember how Robert Matthews

was just kind of quiet but just a mouth kicker? Yes. That's exactly his exact same personality. What goes on in the Chicago Bears locker room week to week? We got cards, we got dice, we got cornhole, we got anything like that, or is it all football? You know what? No cornhole.

Like we used to crush the cornhole, but we actually have some little basketball goals in there, and like the balls are like – I mean, you can't even put them in your, barely put them in your hands, but we shoot a lot of basketball, a little bit of cards, but them, you're typical, just typical how it is. The team seems to be trending in the right direction, and Chicago is a city that needs a winning football team. They've been yearning for it forever.

Does the culture feel like it's going that way, especially with the fan base as well? Yeah, man. been yearning for it forever is the culture feel like it's going that way especially with the fan base as well yeah man yeah honestly like this is one of the best um best cities to win in i mean it's just it's been incredible when we go on the road i mean it looks like a college bowl game like half the half the stadium's bears the other half's the other team i mean they travel crazy and um i mean they are our gm and stuff he did a great job this offseason he brought in a ton of players brought in a coach that's, like, fun, has a good offensive scheme. I mean, it's really been just the perfect storm for us.

And I really – you look at our – I mean, three of our losses are by a combined seven points. I mean, we could easily be whatever and 0, 13 and 0, whatever we were, 13, 12 and 0, whatever. And then our other loss was by seven to the Patriots. So we lost four games by 14 total points. So we've been in every game and could be even better than this now. But, yeah, it's a good start. Well, way to put your staple on this incredible comeback season for the Bears with an incredible electric touchdown and dance.

Too bad we missed the pow-pow on the ground down there. But I'm proud of you, man. Yeah, I know, dude. I swear I wanted to hit that. Next one I'm going to get some space. Some space and some leg room. I'm hitting the pow-pow. Yeah, I know, dude. I swear I wanted to hit that. Next one, I'm going to get some space. Some space and some leg room. I'm hitting the pow-pow. Hey, keep working the coach over.

Let's keep those plays coming. An offensive lineman scoring a touchdown is good for everybody. Yeah, no doubt. That would be awesome. How's the family? They're good, man. I got a fucking little boy now. He's five months old.

So, Presley is almost seven. Piper, five. And my little boy is five months. Does the little boy have he's five months old so presley is almost seven piper um five and my little boy's five months does little boy have a p name does he what you said presley piper does the boy have a p name oh yeah paxton sorry i thought maybe we're going patrick right there i thought maybe you named little baby patrick you know it would have been patrick but then you know the whole patrick reed thing with know, getting in and all that drama. So I just don't want to name him after Patrick Reed. I forgot you're like a diehard golf fan because he's such a big golfer.

Hey, hey, this new younger gen. Did you watch the Phil Mickelson Tiger thing? I did. I didn't watch the whole thing. Like, I feel like that was like the Mayweather Pacquiao fight. You know, it was like a little bit overdue. I want to see them play at the Masters in the final group. You know what I mean?

I don't want to see them playing for some phony money. I watched the highlights and stuff, but I didn't get into it too much. I heard it was terrible. Everybody said it was really bad entertainment. They said they weren't talking to each other. Would you ever? I said this earlier. You're a really good golfer.

You said you were a terrible dad. But if that was your job whenever you retire from football, whenever it is, let's say it's 10 years from now, will you ever think about pursuing a sort of professional golf? You're the only guy I think I've ever seen that could do it as a football player. So, I don't know, man. I think I'd want to do that. And then all of a sudden, we're out at Golf Club Indiana,

and a seventh grader crushes me. And I'm like, dude, you remember those kids we played with at Golf Club Indiana? It was like a kid going to Duke or something crazy. And he crushes me. And I'm like, all right, I just lost to a seventh grader. I'm definitely not going to be a pro. So, yeah. And then I played with a couple of pros that are really, all right, I just lost to a seventh grader. I'm definitely not going to be a pro. So, yeah. And then I played with a couple of pros that are really good.

So, I don't know. It would take like some serious couple years of coaching and like honing some of this stuff in. But I wouldn't mind just going and gambling and beating all the amateurs for the rest of my life, though. Such a hilarious move. And now whenever you beat those amateurs, they can say that they lost to a man that scored a touchdown

on Sunday Night Football for the Bears. Bradley Sal, I'm so thankful. Tell everybody I said hello. Tell the family I said all my best wishes, T's and P's, and I hope you continue to crush it, my brother. Appreciate it, dude. Miss you, man. Hey, I miss you too.

Keep crushing it. Great conversation with Bradley Sal. Yeah, he was awesome. A lot of people probably didn't even know he existed before that touchdown no definitely not and the man is one of the most interesting humans i've ever talked to hilarious guy yeah said like a lot there he was kind of nervous i think potentially you're probably i mean he's probably not used to doing this very often no he doesn't get a lot he's but he's just a cool guy by the way very cool guy but that

motherfucker on a golf course is the truth. I can see that. His swing is 6'7". He's like 6'7". 6'6", 6'7". It's smooth swing. It's like a Foxy swing on a 6'7", 320-pound athlete guy. Not bad. Not that Foxy isn't athletic, but Foxy's swing is very good.

Oh, yeah. But he's just a smaller guy. You think about a bigger swing radius, he's good. He's good. He's really good. Right now, Omaha Steaks has a limited time offer. For listeners of this show, when you go to omahasteaks.com and enter code AMERICA into the search bar, easy to remember,

Controversial. I think I understand why people do segments. Because segments in themselves live on to be their own thing.

Drives discussion. Drives discussion. I got yelled at a little bit for Judge Pat. You didn't deserve to. I feel like I'm on the right side of history, though. I feel good about it. Anyways, here's a new segment. You're going to enjoy this.

Let's do a reading from Taj Shepard. This is a blog from yesterday titled, NASA Should Launch Steph Curry into Space. I saw that headline. Yeah, it's in response to him saying he doesn't think we ever landed on the moon. Oh, see. Okay, I'm

excited to hear how you break this down. Alright, so I'm tired of people talking about this, first and foremost. Me too. Not Steph Curry specifically saying it, but people being adamant that we didn't go to the moon. We did, okay? Agreed. And I won't continually allow people to shit on the legacy of Neil Armstrong. Oh, yeah.

It's not about you. No, it's not about me. It's about an American hero. Exactly. He walked on the moon and planted the stars and stripes into its crust with the same amount of vigor as Baker Mayfield slamming that OU flag into Ohio Stadium in Columbus. We all know it.

AstroTurf, by the way. Yes. Very aggressive decision. The photos aren't doctored in any way either. They can't be. All right? They didn't have that technology then. No way.

They didn't have the filters. No Photoshop. Nope. No, they didn't have FaceTube. No Adobe. Photoshop. Nope. I already couldn't stand have FaceTube. No Adobe. Photoshop. Nope. I already couldn't stand Steph Curry, and this just magnifies it by a thousand.

He can do his nice guy shtick all he wants, but in my opinion, I think he's a sawed-off prick. Now he's out here diminishing the accomplishments of one of America's greatest heroes and pioneers. Wow. Yeah. I won't stand for it. I didn't even think about that being anti-American. Are you done?

No. Okay. Does Neil Armstrong look like the kind of guy who would lie about walking on the moon? Nope. Nope. I didn't think so. No. I didn't think so.

Hold on. How many I didn't think so's did you put in the actual question? Just one. Okay. Just one. So when they read, they should echo. Right. So let's find a solution.

Let's do it. NASA says they are more than happy to give Steph Curry a tour of their lunar labs, but let's take it a step further. Why don't we just launch Steph Curry into orbit and let him try to shoot a couple hoops on the moon? This is where the headline came from. Yep.

Maybe he'll come across the bracelet that came from Armstrong's daughter while he's up there. Oh. Wow. You can shit on any player in the NBA that came from Armstrong's daughter while he's up there. Oh. You can shit on any player in the NBA that you want and get a pass. That's fine by me. But you disrespect the legacy of guys like Harry Stamper. Huh?

AJ Frost. Huh? Buzz Aldrin. Jim Lovell. Hey. And Neil Armstrong. What? And you're going to find yourself firmly entrenched on my shit list for life.

That's right, buddy. Forever. Some of these guys have given their lives for our country, and this fucking ingrate wants to look past that? It's disgusting. Ingrate? Yeah. Disgusting.

I love that word. Ingrateful. My dad used to call people fucking ingrates all the time. Ingrate means you're not a grateful person. Correct. I've been looking for that word for a long time. Ingrate? Ingrate. I know some ingrates. R.I.P. Harry Stamper, by the way. Correct. I've been looking for that word for a long time. Ingrate? Ingrate.

I know some ingrates. RIP Harry Stamper, by the way. Yes. Who's that? Is it Bruce Willis? Yes. Still not convinced, Steph? Not done yet.

Why don't you watch a found footage documentary for me one time? One time? A big one about the moon landing came out this year. Yeah. One quote from Neil Armstrong

settles this whole thing. We need to fail down here so we don't fail up there. Wow. And we didn't. So I think Steph should prove he has some balls and let NASA catapult him into space. I may be speaking for myself here, but I think we could all use

a little vacation from Steph Curry. And maybe if he does this, it'll teach that fucking Judas a thing or two about respecting American heroes. Powerful. Ankles are going out again in May, June. You watch.

I like this. Ty, I'd like to say a lot of gut sack. Not balls. Gut sack. We don't want a gender assigned. That's a good point. We would never want to do that. Not here.

I enjoyed this reading. I learned a lot. I'm not going to do it, Nick. Quit looking at me. Yeah? After he spoke with so much vigor about it, I'm not going to go the opposite direction. Oh, yeah.

Tony already said that to me this morning. Oh, Tom thinks it's me. Guess what? You can fucking co-pilot and go up there with him. How about that? How about that? I wouldn't survive the first three seconds of that flight. The G-Force.

Diggs, I don't need a reading from you because the other evening you delivered one of the greatest rants in the history of fans ranting, and I think the world should hear it. And we'll follow up with you with a little question on how you feel about life one day ahead of this This isn't a bad mood though. The Steelers are in a terrible spills are dead Those are dead for the vlog today seasons over they had to go to and to in their last four They beat the Raiders and the Bengals lose to the Saints and the Patriots You can't beat the team that's been trading away their best fucking players all year long and trying to lose

Attempting to attempting to lose you can't beat them You're what makes you think you're gonna beat anyone else coming up this season or win a game in the fucking playoffs It's not gonna happen They're dead Ben soft because he gets an inconclusive x-ray on a Mickey Mouse old machine in the most Mickey Mouse Stadium of all time He can't come back in the most Mickey Mouse stadium of all time. He can't come back in the game because of a little fucking boo-boo. Boz is dead. There's no coming back from what he's going through.

Defense can't get a stop when it matters. Tomlin. Tomlin couldn't manage the clock or get a challenge right if his life depended on it. Juju and A.B. are good. Connor sucks since the day Bell said he wasn't coming back Blow the entire thing up Now we have to wait Nine months through the middle of winter

This is brilliant In snow and cold We have to wait an entire pregnancy Until next season And hope our Steelers baby Is not some underwhelming Prick that's just going to let us down In the end.

Great. Incredible rant, first of all. No. On the buzz point. Yeah. You hit a lot of things there. Yeah. You hit a lot of things.

Okay. I don't appreciate you going after everybody. I think some of those guys are my friends. I don't appreciate it. I used to love them, Pat. I do love them. Just because I'm mad doesn't mean I don't love him. He's fine line between love and hate.

We just saw that with a real Yinzer Steeler fan right there. First of all, very incredible rant. Thank you. Preach. You really started getting going there towards the end, and that was really when I was happy about it all. Yeah. What made you feel the urge to compliment AB and Juju? Because you just thought, yeah, they might say they don't deserve this. Well, I was literally running through all. What made you feel the urge to compliment A.B. and Juju

because you just thought, they might say they don't deserve this? I was literally running through the team in my head, and I got to the wide receiver position, so I said A.B. and Juju are good. Okay, so you just were like, hey, listen. And then I fucking got to Connor. So he popped in your head shortly after the Juju.

Oh, yeah, yeah. We heard you just realize Connor's still on that team, and Le'Veon Bell is not. Correct. Right there in that moment. What do you think the Steelers know going against New England this weekend? Since the loss on Sunday, I've been going through the five stages of grief. Okay.

You know, anger, denial, the other ones. We heard you had anger. Yeah, that was anger. Denial, I think, is right immediately. Moaning. Acceptance is one of them. I've accepted it. I've moved on to the acceptance phase.

I'm not as... The moaning phase. I'm not mad. Yeah, that's my favorite. It's like... Corpse. Corpse. Bro, bro, bro.

Bro, bro, bro. We got a soundboard. Sorry, bro. Tried to get in the moan. It's Thursday. That's really good. I'm back to being a fan. I'm back to having this the moment. It's Thursday. That's really good. I'm back to being a fan. I'm back to having this little thing in the back of my head.

We're like, oh, maybe they will do it. Finally. Until Sunday when I'm going to have all my fucking hopes and dreams crushed again and I go through this goddamn cycle all over again. You're damn right. Oh, you, Miami. Damn right. And I'm supposed to be the negative one.

I mean, I was a bit negative there from the digs. I mean, I was a little bit negative from the video. No, no, I'm fucking positive Pete all goddamn year. All fucking year. There it goes. You're just grieving. A little grieving process. It's just like you get to a point in a relationship

when it fucking snaps and you got to do something. I'm in this abusive fucking relationship the last three weeks and I did something about it. So if Steelers win this Sunday, what happens? I'm going to fucking come running back. Fucking arms wide open. I'll get right back on my knees. And you're also now like a pretty public Steeler fan.

So I assume these Steelers losses, although they used to hurt, it didn't just get rubbed in your face all day, every day. The girlfriend on Sunday goes, so like, do people tweet you after like, and say shit? I'm like, you have no idea. You have no idea.

City of Cleveland. Because I didn't talk for like four hours after the game. And she knew. Just let me go. Digs. The thought of you puking before games and you standing up yelling at the TV before games, it's all so much to me.

But Nick's life used to depend on whether or not the Penguins would win. Yeah. So that's a – Then they won two cups, and now I'm just kind of whatever happens happens. I'm fine with it. We had enough. Yeah, we did pretty good.

Not us. But I told you, like, I have no idea what's going on in that locker room. No way. No idea what's going on in that locker room. Like, do they care? Are they trying to get to the playoffs? Okay, great question. Great question. I'm happy you in that locker room. No way. No idea what's going on in that locker room. Do they care? Are they trying to get to the playoffs? Okay, great question. Great question.

I'm happy you asked that. Yeah. Because I mean, I've been talking about how Ben Roethlisberger's been handling this whole thing. Not this whole thing, but in general, how he handles things, I guess. Whenever he throws people under the bus publicly, I just don't see that as a good sign, right? of the bus publicly i just don't see that as a good sign right like i will i whenever i almost did to be honest during my career i almost did with the gm that i did not like yeah it almost happened but obviously i got talked back from doing it and come to the realization like whenever

things get outside and you start looking at examples when things that are personal and mean a lot get outside of the team it's never good there's never anything that good comes from it there's something bad happening to somebody right so ben rothensberger bringing inside drama outside the locker room i think is a huge deal like i think that is a huge deal like honestly i believe that's a huge deal i think there's people that look at him very differently when in the locker room than they should if they were like his boy if he if he was their boy i think that is something that can affect the way a team plays for each other as opposed to playing with each other that's just something to think about do you think that changes next year for big bed i don't know what the fuck's gonna

happen he's always but but i do know that mike tomlin is a guy who has had a lot of success coaching in the NFL, a lot of success. And I have seen coaches that are very successful and very bad, right? And they all have the same thing. After a loss, if there is any chance in hell that you can make the playoffs, that is being drawn out, it is being explained. It is being promoted. It is being pumped. It is being the only thing that Tomlin and the boys are preaching is we control our own destiny. We're still in the top of the AFC North.

All we got to do is eliminate the little things, and we still can make a run at this thing. A coach is a car salesman too, right? You have to get a team to believe in themselves whenever nobody does. Joe thomas was on the show and he said every single year going into the seasons cleveland browns he thought they had a chance to win that's what a coach's job is to do is to create somebody to believe is there a doubt in there i assume there's some doubt from people like man we suck they would never say their position they'll always say like hey we don't have it back here to do it but there is a a pitching a happening in there from leaders of the team ogs of the team and coaches it's like hey playoff you're on primetime television so if you want to get your dick sucked you get in playoffs right if

you get into playoffs you get a lot more money you get a lot more money you get into playoffs you win there's enough to go around for everybody there's there's a lot of money you get in the playoffs. You win. There's enough to go around for everybody. There's a lot of reasons to get into the playoffs and win. And if you have a shot, you have a shot. The one thing that worries me, I haven't heard of one closed-door players-only meeting. That's what's going to turn this around. Those things are the worst things on earth. Those are some of the most bullshit things I've ever been a part of in my life. Every once in a while, when one naturally happens, it's a lot better than whenever you're in it.

Anytime you've heard one get announced to the meeting, they probably have happened, by the way. Those players' meetings probably already has happened. It might be in the lunch room, though. It might be in the locker room. Those things have already happened. Anytime a team is doing bad, there is always a meeting of the minds. The ones that get out are always the ones that are like,

okay, publicly we have to say that we aren't holding up our end of the bargain for the coaches that's always what it is that's the only reason why it ever gets out is because the players feel like they publicly have to state that we were trying to hold ourselves accountable to in this whole situation it's all pr bullshit you know who i could see calling a lot of players meetings who's that the uh dn who went from the browns to the tampa bay buuccaneers that did all the math. Oh, Carl. Financials. Carl.

Carl's not speaking in those team meetings. Trying to call. Trying to call. I can tell you just by looking at Carl that Carl is not. He's had a pretty good year. Shout out to him, though. I agree completely, but those meetings are not being run by Carl's. I know, I know.

Do the captains, are the captains the one that usually get those going? Oh, geez. The veteran guys? But do you have, like, dorky Carls that do try to call the meetings by carlos those those captains are the captains the one that usually get those going or oh geez but the veteran guys but do you have like dorky carls that do try to call the meetings and you're like shut the fuck up no those guys know those guys have been don't open their mouth those guys have been no they will they'll add to the conversation but they're not the ones that are going to be like we're doing the charge great and now that's every nerdy guy i've been around captains also are very much a pr move too by the team yeah there's a lot like we heard that bob knight story dan dockage told us that to cut the kid that he choked yeah

he didn't quit he he told the kid basically that a team vote happened that didn't happen and told him that the team voted him off the tribe basically off the island it was a fake but teams do fake team coaches do fake team votes all the time. They can have, all right, fill out your answer, fold your answer, and we'll put it in here

and we'll count them up. And then somebody comes back and they say somebody, everybody's like, who? Who is voting for that? It's, it's,

it just, everything is a show. You got to remember, everything's a fucking show. The captain's coin toss, right? That's the people being associated directly with the team. So that's who the team would like to be the toss, right? That's the people being associated directly with the team.

So that's who the team would like to be the leaders, right? So that is not like the actual captains in most cases. Nah, that's not true because Peyton was a captain. He was the leader of that fucking team. But in a lot of situations I've seen, the leaders of the teams were a lot of the guys that were not. Eric Walden was probably the biggest leader of our entire team, and I don't think he was captain until the last year.

Whatever Eric Walden said happened. If Eric Walden wanted something to happen, it's happening. He had the, but he wasn't, I mean, he headbutted a ref. He also did some other, and he would have never got voted. Could a coach secretly ask for one? Ask the players to do it, like the OGs? He has that. The coach can do whatever. What are you you talking about to have a players only meeting

yes oh yeah it kind of plants it kind of i assume that that happens i assume that i mean if it's not the players it might be an assistant it's you gotta remember ogs in the league guys have been in the league like 14 15 years they've been around football for fucking 30 years as well you know like these guys know football just as much as coaches just as much as gms everybody knows what's going on in most cases in that aspect then how much when when you know the college guys who get to the pros after a couple years how much are you learning from those coaches uh i think every coach can teach you things i think good coaches can teach you stuff but when i was there in my rookie year that was when i was playing quarterback for the seven on seven and shit i was play throwing for the defense i would i would do drills with the

linebackers so i was like uh i would act as a running back and i would go right and they would have to tell their fits right the pre-practice running back or linebacker stuff here the fits the tackles i'd be chopping at like diving at i'd be on a pad and like diving at gary brick brackets knees and he would have to like eliminate the chalk block chop block gary bracket was the coach of that group there was a guy there who was a great man he would probably tell them strategy and scheme but when it came to like shit technique and stuff like that gary bracket was the guy running that entire room and i think it was the same with like dallas clark in the tight end group it just all depends on who it

is peyton manning was the general manager of the fucking team. I mean, Bill Pullian brought in people, I guess. But if Peyton wanted you cut, you were cut. If he wanted to restart practice, he's restarting practice. If he wants to go longer, we're going longer. He wants to run, we go run. If he wants to have a curfew, you're getting a fucking curfew. That was the way it was with him.

But also, there's some gifted coaches out there, too, that you'd be silly not to learn from. Absolutely. Hey, situations are situations. Corey Redding. Yeah. Did he fit that or no? Corey Redding came in.

He was a real leader. He's the one who brought the cornhole boards to the Colts locker room. Big move. Yeah, it was a good move. Big for your life. What's that? Big for your life. Big for my life.

I had never played cornhole before Corey Redding got to the locker room. He was a good leader for the transition period because he knew Chuck. He knew the group, so he could tell the locker room, like, hey, this is how it normally is. I think he was at the point, though, where his field play wasn't as great. So you can't have – it's tough to remain a vocal person. If you're not delivered. Exactly.

So I think he was a guy that everybody respected and liked, but he wasn't performing as great, I don't think. Granted, I'm not the judge of that, but if I was to listen to things that were being said, it was like, yeah, they respected him.

So he was like an assistant almost, like a coach more so than a player, if that makes sense. So there's like players in the locker room, and then there's like the OGs that get, cory redding was brought in strictly to for the locker room chuck pagano came from baltimore brought him strictly for the locker room hey you be the bridge between me and the locker room basically so anything that happened we knew cory was going to chuck anything that chuck wanted to say we knew was coming through cory

cory served a very vital role but i don't think he was like in the i mean he might have been i'm not sure but i i oh gee though right he's og he's og yeah those guys are on a different level those dudes whenever they like there was one meeting when i saw venet adam venetary spoke reggie wayne spoke it might have been cory reddick no robert mathis i was just looking at these Hall of Famers just talking. I'm like, I'm looking around the room. I'm like, man, this team is terrible, bro. You guys know this, man. Like, what are we fucking saying?

This is a bad football team. We got 100 hurt guys. But they were doing it because probably I assume Chuck told them. Yeah, they're like an assistant almost. You know what I mean? Like, it's very. But sometimes they aren't treated that way too, and that gets interesting too.

Things start going bad. Their voices all – their opinions don't matter anymore. That's also not good. That's not good for the locker room. When that bridge is broken, like you're saying, the coaches and those top-tier guys start feuding, is that when the locker room is lost? It is.

That is a tough situation. Has it ever happened with Reggie Wayne and Peyton Manning? Peyton Manning, when Peyton was there, there was no OGs. It was Peyton. There was no meeting of the... So if Peyton wanted, he could have kicked off Reggie whenever he wanted. If Peyton did not want Reggie Wayne on the team, Peyton could have got rid of Reggie Wayne.

Wow. Yeah, he wouldn't have. I know, exactly. He wouldn't have, never, because Reggie, all he did was work his ass off and do it. But if Peyton wanted anybody off the team, if Peyton wanted the coach gone, Yeah, he wouldn't have. I know exactly. He wouldn't have never because Reggie, all he did was work his ass off and do it. But if Peyton wanted anybody off the team, if Peyton wanted the coach gone, if Peyton wanted Tony Dungy gone, Peyton could have got Tony Dungy gone. I bet that.

I don't know if that's an accurate assessment. He was by far the most important person in the locker room. It's a conversation. I don't think he would ever want that, right? Exactly, yeah. But I think if Peyton Manning, for some reason, got all pissed off and wanted to do that, I think in the Indianapolis Colts organization, he could have done anything he wanted. What does he

do? Just go to the office of Jim Irsay? Oh, yeah. Just walk right the fucking... I don't know why you're surprised by this. Just open the door. He would just open the door and Jim would be, brother! And by the way, there's only two people in the building. Three people that could do that. Peyton being one of them and the door. He would just open the door, and Jim would be, brother. And by the way, there's only two people in the building. Three people that could do that, Peyton being one of them and the daughters.

That's it. That's 100% true. That's it. That is 100% true. That is it. And brother. And he'd be like, sit down, Jim. What?

Hold on. Is everything okay? No, Jim. Fuck. I would be so upset. But yeah, I think Peyton could have done that. But whenever the OGs, right? So when the OGs, this is a very vital part of the team too,

especially a team that's struggling. If everything's going good, OGs don't have a real job because it's like everything's going good. Everything's going good. But whenever there's a little bit of trouble, that's like it's vital to have a good locker room. Everybody talks about it. It's vital to have a good locker room.

But then once the coach and the locker room lose each other that means when they say they lost the locker room that means they lost the ogs because the ogs are the voice from the locker room to the coaches so like if you need something done you go to like like to vinnie like hey vinnie how about uh a lot of guys are being pissed off about blah blah blah vinnie runs it up there i did become that guy with chuck pagano which was pretty cool i don't think i was supposed to be that guy because it oh geez is that the steelers no it's definitely a credit card but i became that but i don't think i was a good person for that role i don't think i was a good person why is that because you're too honest I was a good person for that role. Why is that? Because you're too honest? Too honest, yeah. I didn't have the filter of like,

okay, let's not say everything that's going wrong. Let's just pick and choose so we can make a little bit of progress as opposed to just be, you know. Voice of reason. Is that why Vinny always asked you to do his dirty work? Exactly, exactly. So I became the guy though,

like I became the person that people would say to go do things. It was very interesting whenever that happens, when you become that guy. A lot of pressure, by the way. You got your teammates, like, because if no change happens, right, your teammates are like, well. Wouldn't you want your OG to be like that, though? Well, yeah, I thought so. I very much thought so.

The people that I'm talking to, not so much. You know? The special teams coach is just running these people into the grave in practice, they're like, hey, man, people are wondering if we can cut down on the full fucking field reps. And Tom McMahon goes, well, we need them, Pat. I'm like, well, you're going to lose a lot of guys. I think if we keep doing these 100-yard sprints, I think it's going to be something. If there's no drawback on those in the next practice,

like I look like a punk almost. Cause I am the voice of the people. Right. And Tom McMahon knows that too, though. So Tom McMahon, like I don't want to say empowers me, but he does.

He does. He even says like, sure. Pat's told me that we maybe ease up on things. He like helps me out with that. That's how the relationship builds. And that is really the locker room. When they said patricia foxy isn't here he's coming back tomorrow lost the locker room that's probably what they meant like he lost the older guys on the team

yeah it makes sense we're not like it happened cleveland like day one pretty much yeah but pat he practiced some in 24 degree weather though too i mean that's a quick way to lose it right back to back i mean back to back wednesdays outside practice when patricia yeah when there's an indoor game waiting on sunday yeah but you never know like how the team is built like you know some locker rooms right vinatieri said back in the day they used to practice outside every fucking day it's like some locker rooms that's their thing but some locker rooms you might have a lot of florida boys who are in there like hey man why are we there's a fucking indoor right there we're playing indoor this week, but it's all about the locker.

That's why I think each locker room is its own thing. Some shit fly in some places where it doesn't fly in other places. It's all about the locker room. It's all about... Good rant by you. Hey, thanks, man. I appreciate that.

I think I was a pretty good locker room guy. I was a pretty good locker room guy. Yeah, I would have said so. I guess. Unstoppable a cornhole in that locker room. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, uh, uh. Oh.

Yeah, Gorman has this story. He said it was the first day. It was 50 bucks. He bet it. I said, bro, I'll wax you in this. He said, I just started. Corey Redding brought the boards in. I said, let's roll.

I ran out of the locker room after I got my 21st point, and he was motherfucking me. I don't think this happened. And you paid me. Absolutely it happened. And not only that, he became the player he is becauseucking I don't think this happened. Absolutely it happened, and not only that, he became the player he is because I beat him. Whoa!

He sees a slapstick coming down in khakis, you know, and throwing the thing, and boom. That's when it happened. Then he was All-American at Cornhole. Wow. I don't remember this. So you're saying that you're the motivation behind that. You're Mr. Miyagi.

Hey, bro, bro, bro. Hilarious spin zone. It was, man. You remember when Costanzo? Oh, fuck. Elvis hurt us both. Remember? Yeah.

Yeah. We were playing cornhole. They took the cornhole boards out of the locker room. They did. Frankie. I'll tell you, I played so much cornhole there for a while. Hey, you were running a hustle. You had a good hustle.

I was making a lot of money playing cornhole with people. Dwight Freeney used to just walk up to me and be like, hey, you good? I'm like, what do you mean? He's like, you good at cornhole today? I'm like, yeah, he's like, good. You and me playing against two people who are really good? A thousand bucks a point. Let's go.

And I'm like, all right. He is getting eight, nine points scored against him each time. He is terrible at the game, terrible at the game. He was a bowler, so he thought he would just pick it up. It was everybody's basically first time playing whenever Corey Redding brought it. Dwight Freeney, though, was terrible at the game. I'm talking bad, early. I don't know what he is now, but I think everybody would agree

if they watched him early, he was not good. And he was just betting, like, yeah, a thousand bucks a point, you and me were playing. I'm like, I feel terrible at this point. I'm getting, hey, I'm throwing second because he's giving up points every time. And we're down, like, nine nothing as soon as the thing starts. I'm like, fuck, that's nine grand right there. All right, I'll go to work for you here, bud, and try to score back.

It was always a close game. But whenever people say that when they get on that cornhole TV, they get nervous or whatever, I've played for like $50,000, $60,000. I've played like I probably won more cornhole money than anybody. I feel like I've really done well in the cornhole game, but I was playing for like three hours a day. I was practicing for three hours a fucking day. You better be good.

You better be good at that. I'm saying, like right now, I'm good at cornhole. If I was to go out there, I'd be good at cornhole because I know it from the past, but it's not like I was. There was no points being scored. These are world-class athletes playing the same game I'm playing. Zero points being scored. It was just, these are world-class athletes playing the same game I'm playing.

Zero points being scored. And Jeffrey and I played against Costanzo and I forget who else in the locker room after hours. And boy. Oh, Costanzo. Costanzo almost broke Jeffrey. Yeah, and Pat had a look of fear on his face. I mean, like I've never seen in a locker room before.

And I'm looking at you. It's like, dude, where's the boat? We got to get to the boat. Get us the fuck out of here. So Gorman's down on the side of Costanzo, down there. Next to him? Next to him. Next to him.

It's me and Gorman versus whoever. And we are shellacking this team. It's bad. Costanzo, very competitive human being. Very competitive human being. And early in his career, overly competitive human being, which I think hurt him. He ended up managing that.

Now he's a lot better player. I think he would get so mad at himself. So we did pretty well at Cornhole with him a couple games in a row. And in a row. And he got so angry angry he picked up a chair oh just he helicoptered the fucking chair like over my head and fell at his feet and i look at pat like i'm a newborn like god help me cradle me son and he's like ah and then but then casanzo took casanzo's credit

he like after like five seconds he like calmed down and he was like sorry He's like, ah! But then Costanzo took Costanzo's credit. After like five seconds, he calmed down. And he was like, sorry. The fucking Hulk. He was so mad. Just for what he said, though, Costanzo viewed himself losing to this little old slacker in khakis. Costanzo's 6'6", like 350.

He's like a Viking. With an 8-pack, and he's losing in this game of skill to this little fuck. Hey, don't forget about these, though. You'd come out of the shower or you'd come out of the training room, one shoe on, one shoe off, towel around it, and somebody would challenge you to three bags. Yeah, from the other side. Yeah, yeah.

Remember you got to hit two or three after hat trick? Yes. And he would, to his credit, man, roll in there like he's a fucking Vegas show, knows what time the show starts. Boom, boom, boom. Good night, everybody. Motherfucker. It was when the media, right?

So the media would all start piling in. And I was never in the locker room during the media. That is a pretty true story. I didn't get asked, like specifically asked. I think if I hung out, they would would ask me more questions but everybody thinks i was some media whore whatever i was i was not i only ran my twitter and i did shit uh for the colts that's it that was literally all it was all the other stuff i didn't really do much so as they would be coming in i would time up my shower with getting dressed to be leaving smart so as they're coming in i'm like finishing up my clothes and it would always be somebody on the other side of the locker room and it would be with getting dressed to be leaving smart so as they're coming in i'm like finishing up my clothes

and it would always be somebody on the other side of the locker room and it would be like a half court shot basically for the for cornhole though so it's not it's not an nba3 the standard nba3 length it's like a half court shot and i'm like just putting my clothes on and all these fucking local sports reporters and espn people are walking in and i I'm on the other side of the locker room. And I just start yucking these corner bets. And it's just like falling, boom, like right in. And then you see, I think the guy was a corner at the time. Most of the time it was betting me. And I'm like, this motherfucker.

And then bang another one. And then bang another one. Or I would go two out of three. It would normally be just hit one. And I would normally hit two or three. And I would do a full like, are you not entertained thing. All the media people walk in

and they just see me like posing like that. And then I just walk away and go to like the cafeteria. I would love to know in those media people, like what the fuck is McAfee always posing? They have no idea. It was a very large gamble that just happened. Large.

Wild world. Bro, bro, bro. You don't blog. Neither do I, really. I appreciate that. I appreciate the nod there. I have a mental blog, and this is from Jeff to the bro, bro, bros. It's the season of giving.

I'm Jeff. To the bro, bro. From the desk of Jeff Forman. Listen, you go into wifey's purse. You know she runs the purse strings in that relationship. Kids, you go to ma's purse, dad's wallet. I don't care. You take out what you will because you're going to repay him back in tenfold.

And I mean this. You take that baby oil and you slap it all over the back of Phillip Rivers tonight. And you rod that mule like you're at a county fair. Like a Clint Eastwood. That's it. Like you're at a county fair. Like a Clint Eastwood. That's it. Like you're at a county fair and you hold on tight to that old man, put your hands around his neck, and just ride him out. You sit on the back of his haunches, watch Keenan Allen, watch Joey Bosa.

It's happening tonight. He has a knack for winning games that they shouldn't win. Need I go back to 2007? Darren Sproles, playoff game. Peyton, Marvin, Reggie, Edge, everybody on fire. They come in here, slap around the Colts. It's happening

again tonight. Patrick Mahomes, we love you, but again, again, if steal, I don't care what you have to do. Wait, I didn't know we're betting against Patrick Mahomes. The bros out there know what I'm talking about. Again, baby oil him up and you slap around his neck and ride him. Here's the best part.

Connor is all over the Chiefs. All over, baby. All over, baby. All over the Chiefs. You're welcome. Bro. Yeah. All over.

Friday morning, apologize to mom and dad and the beloved wife and say, hey, I had to do this for us. Bro, bro, bro. Yep. Unbelievable lock right there. That was some deep football conversation there. Yeah, it was great. I love when we just slip into that.

That normally, yeah, that does just happen. It just kind of drops into it. And I know it because the entire room has a different sense to it. It's like everybody's ears perk up and they're like, like oh this is something that we would like to hear more about and i don't even realize that this is stuff that people probably don't even know about right like these types of things if you're not in a locker room you probably don't know about it's cool situation i enjoy doing it well it gets lost on all of us too because we're around you every day but we still haven't heard like 90 of this shit so it's like when you start talking about it's like all right well yeah i got a couple more questions yeah well you okay now that we got you

here uh that's pretty much what it is exactly it's a cool convo i had another great conversation earlier this morning with a man who is uh a trailblazer in the blogging world a man who sold blogs to two different to espn and to mbc this guy's good. He let me on his show. Very nice of him. Mr. Paisan Mike Florio. All right, we got Pat McAfee on the line. He joins us now. Patrick, good morning. How are you, buddy? Mr. Florio, thank you so much for having Pop of the Morning to your beautiful soul.

It's great to have you on the program. I was just talking about Stephen Hauschka getting blown up over the weekend. What was your thought when you saw that big hit that he took on Sunday? Okay, I'm thankful that you asked me because this has caused quite a controversy with my show.

Henry Anderson, Goose is his name, was a friend of mine at the Indianapolis Colts. We did rehab together. His rookie year, they were calling him Baby J.J. Watt at the Colts because he was making a lot of plays. He tears his ACL. A new defensive scheme comes into Indianapolis.

He gets sent away to the Jets. He's on kind of a trial run right now with the Jets, a one-year prove-it deal as his rookie deal expires here. So when I first saw it, I was not happy with Mr. Goose. I was not excited. I sent Mr. Anderson a mean tweet telling him that the brand would like a word with him. And that we would like to talk to him. He responded, asked me if he is calling in to plead his case or get yelled at by me.

I said, well, let's have a court trial. Let's have a trial. I would like to have an actual trial. You come in and plead your case. I watch the show Bull every single Monday night. I like the courtroom setting. I enjoy it. So he calls in, and at the beginning of the trial, I am going to be honest, although I am very good friends with Henry Anderson,

I was obviously going to side with Stephen Hauschka. I do not like kickers getting blown up in what appeared to be in that viral clip too, just for no reason. But when Henry Anderson explained his side of the story, he said Hauschka was running over to put himself in a position to make a tackle after a blocked field goal could have potentially been returned. Earlier in the game, Hauschka did a slide tackle, tackle attempt on somebody. Henry Anderson said, if I don't block him there, and he makes a slide tackle effort,

and this guy, our guy is returning the field goal, scores a touchdown, I'm probably going to get cut. I'm probably going to get chewed out. So he chose to block Stephen Hauschka. Now, later he admitted that he probably did it in too hard of a fashion, but he explained the law of inertia. Hauschka landed on his butt-flash side because he carried with his left hand. Do I think he hit him in an aggressive, cheap fashion?

I do. Like, I don't think he had to do it that way but as a punter or kicker i think it is a honor of a lifetime when somebody decides to block you because that means one thing and one thing only in their mind at one moment they thought you could potentially make a play against their team so i came out and said that although the shot might have been a little bit hard, which Henry Anderson agreed that he'll never do it that way again because of the hate he's been receiving from Bill's mafia on Twitter, I feel as if that block, because Houshka was setting himself up to go make a play, Houshka was also in a no-man zone for kickers and punters where

there is people in front of you and behind you. That is a no-man zone for kickers and punters where there is people in front of you and behind you. That is a no-man zone for kickers and punters. You have to keep your head on a swivel whenever that's happening. Kevin Huber, this happened to Kevin Huber with the Steelers years ago. Huber would tell you that he was in a place he shouldn't have been where there's somebody behind him and in front of him, so you don't know what's going on. So my overall ruling was that Henry Anderson actually respected Stephen Hauschka by blocking him and respected his athleticism. And I've obviously caught some heat from Mrs. Hauschka for this. But honestly, I think Stephen Hauschka is such a freak athlete,

Henry Anderson was scared of him and decided to block him. And he says it's from the side, which if you watch the tape, he does land on his butt slash back. I hate that Hauschka's got hurt from this. But if we ever want to be respected as football players, kickers, and punters, these are the types of things that happen on football fields. I'll never, ever say that he should have hit a punter or kicker softer. He can say that, though. I think it's ultimately your fault.

I think you're the one to blame. I'm thinking of your hit on Trinden Holliday. No one wants to allow a kicker or a punter to make a hit like that ever again, so you don't even want to take the chance that a guy's going to go over there and drop the boom on whoever has the ball, so you drop the boom on him before he can. Mike, I would never say it. You are a professional.

I think you saying that means a lot to a lot of people, but I will say this. Stephen Hauschka's wife was coming after me on Twitter for laughing about the whole thing. So I, and then her friends, I think, were tweeting me, and some Bills Mafia were tweeting me about how I was a bad this, and that's why I'm taking a shot at a good kicker like Hauschka. I like Hauschka a lot. But, I mean, I had 24 tackles in the NFL.

I had a bunch of tackles in WVU. You got to watch it. Our special teams wasn't great. And in high school, our special teams units were basically non-existent. I've been making tackles for the entire existence of my football career. And for me, whenever a team would send somebody to block me, which happened a lot in the NFL, it was like a sign of honor. Now, granted, I wasn't scared to block me, which happened a lot in the NFL, it was like a sign of honor. Now, granted, I wasn't scared to hit a circle button on a blocker, though, Mike. I'll go make a play if I have to, because in the film room the next day, if you're a kicker of butter that makes a big play, the way people act is if you hit a scratch-off for $5 million, and I love that.

You know, I never thought of it that way, but you may as well go ahead and take that big hit because that's right, you're going to be the hero of the film room when they go back and look at it. Alright, I'm looking at the Colts right now and they have turned it around faster than anyone thought they could. And I know you're an Indy, it's your adopted hometown

and you played for the Colts for many years. Who do you give the bulk of the credit to for the turnaround of this franchise? Does it go to GM Chris Ballard? Does it go to new coach Frank Reich? I think it really is a team effort here. And I'm only saying that because of the last regime. You could tell that the GM and the head coach weren't on the same page. So the gelling never really happened. Right now, Chris Ballard and Frank Reich,

and even add in Andrew Luck, by the way. Andrew Luck coming in and feeling very comfortable with Frank Reich is a huge thing. The young nucleus of players that the Indianapolis Colts have, the defensive player of the year is going to be on the Colts, Darius Leonard. His nickname is the Maniac. He leads the NFL in tackles right now. Andrew Luck's feeling good. Frank Reich has the team believing.

And I think in the next couple years you're going to see some very, very, very big-time games in the Colts' future. I don't think this year, obviously, with the way the Houston Texans have been playing, even though the Colts just beat them, but that young nucleus that Chris Ballard wanted to build around, he wanted to build a culture before he brought in any big-time free agents. I think he has done that. Now whenever they have some money to spend,

Frank Reich gets to use some new toys, I think the Colts are going to be a special team to watch. And they have the all-time leading scorer in a scoring game in the league's history who has a big-ass Santa beard on his face right now. Yeah, he can moonlight at the local mall. in the league's history who has a big-ass Santa beard on his face right now. That always –

Yeah, he could moonlight at the local mall. I hadn't thought of that with Vinatieri. But, yeah, and it's amazing that he still is going as strong as he is. It seems like the guy's never going to stop. I want to take you back to your original hometown of Pittsburgh. We communicated about this via text message when we were setting this up, the Steelers. They've lost three in a row after winning six in a row.

There's just a weird vibe with that team right now. You've seen that team your whole life. What do you think is wrong with the Steelers right now? I've always thought that Ben Roethlisberger, elite quarterback, right? He never got treated like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady or Drew Brees by anybody, right? The media, he never gets treated. Even whenever I was sitting in team meetings, whenever we're going through the game plan on how we will beat the Steelers, nobody ever treated Ben Roethlisberger in those meetings I was in as if he was Aaron Rodgers or he could beat you himself. Then we

would go into games and Ben Roethlisberger would throw for 500 yards against us and score 60-some points. Antonio Brown is the greatest wide receiver in the game by some people's opinions, and you can't be the best wide receiver in the game if you don't have somebody throwing it to you. Roethlisberger's numbers are outrageous. They're stupid.

They're silly. They're Hall of Fame level. But what Roethlisberger doesn't do is he doesn't lead his team how you would expect a Hall of Fame quarterback to lead his team. Everybody has their ways of doing it. Phillip Rivers is a leader, an incredible quarterback, and he chirps a lot. He's a high emotional guy. But all these people you see who are leaders of their franchise and they're paid the most money and all this, you never see them with the drama that surrounds Pittsburgh, whether it's Roethlisberger calling out a rookie quarterback in the media

a couple weeks ago and then saying that he's earned the right to throw a teammate under the bus. Let alone the Le'Veon Bell situation. We're talking about it's just always drama in Pittsburgh. And if you look at the teams that win, normally the drama is not involved because it's hard enough to win a game there to begin with. Now we've got this whole X-Ray. It's not good enough to give a conclusive report.

And Roethlisberger said he could go in. Tomlin said we didn't know. It's just there's always drama, it feels like. And it's such a prestigious organization. I think if they eliminate the drama and get the football, I think that'll help. But I have no idea how you do that because it seems to be like a magnet for drama over there.

The Real Housewives of the Pittsburgh Steelers. And it really does feel like it's baked in, Pat. At this point, there's nothing that can be done to change it other than having a new starting quarterback or getting a new head coach, because it's just so much a part of the DNA of the way this organization currently is constructed. It's just not going to change anytime soon. Well, he's so good, right? He's so good at football. organization currently is constructed. It's just not going to change anytime soon.

Well, he's so good, right? He's so good at football and he makes incredible plays in everything from, I mean, his ribs got injured. I'm assuming they actually got injured if they chose to sit him. Starting quarterback gets benched, by the way, for Josh Dobbs in the middle of a playoff hunt the same day the Ravens play. It's basically what happened. But they said that the rib injury, they couldn't tell. He's been preparing for this his entire career. He doesn't try to avoid contact. He gets hit.

These are things Ben Roethlisberger can make plays that no other quarterback can make. But he also brings drama that no other quarterback can make. So they're kind of like in this thing where they've made their bed, now they have to sleep in it and just hope it all kind of disappears. But I'm just not sure, Mike. I have no idea.

You know, I've got to run. I'm running out of time. But you mentioned the Adam Vinatieri Santa Claus beard. I've got a challenge for Pat McAfee for 2019. I want Pat McAfee to grow the Dave Leffler mustache. This is going to sound embarrassing, but I have the facial hair of an adolescent. I mean, it's like a bunch of little pubic

hairs growing on my face. It is a bad, bad thing. Thank you. If I was a Paizan like you, maybe I'd be able to pull it off. I did the 23 and me DNA kid. I'm.009 Italian. Welcome to the Italian group,

but it's not an official hit. But I mentioned Dave Leffer because we both got a kick out of the Pittsburgh retired detective who was just dominating on Jeopardy a couple of weeks ago. I just, you know, I'm fascinated by that show.

And anytime there's any guy that is even moderately relatable and to see him do well, it was just great. And he has a great mustache. I agree with that completely. The handlebar looked beautiful. And in those nerd Super Bowl, it's not easy to find somebody that you can see yourself talking or having a beer with. That's why I was hoping Dave would never lose. He got tripped up.

He did his thing and won a lot of money for Pittsburgh. So shout out. He ends our genius, Dave Blackburn. All right. Hey, Pat, great as always, pal. Happy holidays. We'll check out the Pat McAfee Show. We look forward to talking to you soon, buddy.

Pat McAfee Show 2.0. It's a good one. Have a great one. I appreciate you, Mr. Florio. Okay. It is almost the holiday season. It is Thursday. That means the weekend is very, very close.

That sweet smell of freedom is just around the corner. You can put it on your palate. You can taste it in the air. It is freedom time. And the only thing that's good for freedom in holiday season is great music and great tunes. Spotify is not a sponsor of this show. They do sponsor other podcasts.

They do not sponsor ours. So I don't enjoy giving them this amount of love. Someone let them know. But their data did some amazing things for my playlist. Great data. Great data. So people are sending us pictures that are your top podcasts listened to.

When you weren't listening to music, you also listened to. And our podcasts were on there, and people have been tweeting us pictures. appreciate you for that awesome thank you very much by the way we need you thankful for you yes spotify also put together a my top songs of 2018 your top songs 2018 huh i recognize this this morning on my way into work and i think i have a fucking heater of a playlist i think spot, and I'm wondering if this happened. You know the data goes to a data girl or guy.

You think data girl or guy looked at this playlist, my top ones, and was like, yo, Pat McAfee-US is fucking crushing. Do you think that might have happened? I think it went to Watson. And Watson's brain might have overfried. Because of heaters. Yes. Too many heaters.

And I thought to myself, while writing in this morning, I was like, I think this is a playlist that every human on earth could like. Sure. Absolutely. So now I would like to play it for you. Please do it. Okay? There's like 40 songs.

We'll go quick. Okay. Number one song, I think, unless it's in no particular order, I don't know their data. Right? I'm not a data. I don't know how it works. I was trying to figure that out, too.

I can't tell. This one might have been because this is an every morning thing. Oh, yeah. Okay. This is kind of what wakes me up. This might have been on your 2017 list, too. It might have been. This is just a feel good.

That apple. I might have been. This is just a feel good. I like that they spell out the lyrics there. Down, down, down. You get some good facts there too. The lyrics there, da-da-down, da-da-down. You get some good facts there, too. Da-da-down. It's simplicity made us want to start with it, says Apple. Establishing the core elements of Marian Hill before we blow it all up. Yeah, that's when it got big.

This actually might have been January. That was a Christmas commercial, I think. So January would be a Christmas commercial. Fucking idiot. New Year's commercial. Can I send them? It was the Super Bowl, wasn't it? Could have been Super Bowl.

It was. It was right around there, yeah. So January. No, it was. So it's not Christmas. It was a Super Bowl song. February. Yeah, like I think you're onto it, but you said Christmas, which is clearly.

I should have said January. Almost Lincoln's birthday. Flag day. Ever heard of it? Anyways. You know this one? Bye, boat. That comes out of nowhere.

It's awesome. Take a drink. Say hello. Why don awesome. Take a drink. Say hello. Why don't you buy a yacht? Buy some jeans. Who's the rich writer in the group? Some yuppie writer. Can't they buy a boat or something? It's a whole new year song.

Good reflections. Buy your mom. Talk to your mom. Buy a boat. Drink a beer. Sing a song. Talk to your mom. Buy a boat. Drink a beer. That's what you do. Who was singing that, by the way? Kenny.

It's not his words, though. I learned that it was Art Brooke a couple years ago. Yeah. It's number three. Great song. Who? There's no way it's number three of all the year because it's very recent but this is a hit

you haven't heard it yet but i'm about to do an interview with tyler trent here at the end it's coming up kind of uh send you off in a very inspiring inspiring weekend his grandma was there and on her license plate on the front it said oma-grma-nana so i thought it was that's what i thought that's what i got so i go in and i see her, and I go to shake her hand. And he's like, this is my dad. Tony, the dad, he's like, this is grandma.

And I go, Uma, grandma, na, na, na. He did. He did. Several times. Turns out she has a German that says Uma and then some grandkids call her Grandma and then some call her Nana and she did not put them together.

That was just for all the grandkids. I was like, oh, that's a bad marketing scheme. Uma, Grandma, Nana. Nana. I can't listen to this. Uma, Grandma, Nana. Uma, Grandma, Nana. I can't listen to this anymore. My grandma, na-na-na. Oh, my grandma, na-na-na. That's right.

Then, this guy had a big ear. This guy had a big ear. But ain't nothing touch this. All these are good songs. These are good songs if you don't know by now I'm talking about Chi-Town that's why Zito likes it so much will you guys always support Kanye no matter what he does

it's tough he showed his iPhone password we still support him such a troll oh He showed his iPhone password, we still support him. Such a troll. That Ness? Oh. I don't know if this is what you guys think it is. I can see it. Oh, I know what it is. Really?

I didn't know other people listened to this. Seriously. What is it? Do you know what this is, Todd? I have no idea. All right, let's just settle in then. We listen to this on radio all the time. I don't pay attention to what you do, man.

You shouldn't. Things are building Do you feel it bro bro bro Not there yet I'll get there though A little slow to start I'm sort of dozing off It's going to take on a ride Still not there

It's coming Still not there. Coming. Oh, shit. Shit. Shit. Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, European. What is it?

EDM? What do they got? European. He hasn't made his way to the States yet. Oh, yeah. You ever have a morning where you're just not having it? Maybe you're incredibly hungover, or maybe you drank half a bottle of NyQuil the night before

because you forgot you were drinking NyQuil at the time. That happens. I think this is an Abuse Mobile commercial now. Really? Really? One of the carriers. Sounds like it. That was a very Zito line right there. One of the carriers. That was a very Zito line. One of the carriers.

This one is not. By the way, can we cut out about 16, 17 minutes of the old one and get right into that one? Then it's a big hit. If it's not for the rain, the sunshine wouldn't mean shit. How about that? This guy just doesn't get it. If it wasn't for the drought, you wouldn't need the rain.

Exactly. If it wasn't for the milk, you wouldn't need the rain. Exactly. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. If it wasn't for the milk, it wouldn't be the cow. Uh, yeah. I don't want you to start the movie with people talking right there. I need a drone shot of the city. Yeah.

Before. Yeah. Pan in. Yeah. I'm in. I'll tell you what, you're a pretty quick flipper. I've heard the one Chesney song. That's it.

The rest I've just shut out of. Really? Yeah. What about this one? This is you. That's the I-9. He's hot. He's hot. By himself, but he's hot. What was that? By himself. I think he said a Hitachi 99.

Very good. No, the Hitachi. I got it. Yeah, I know. Zito did. What was that? I told him to talk into the mic. I know.

He's like a child over here. Zito can't even read his own name. He knows to speak into the fucking mic. ZITF. That a to speak into a fucking microphone. Z-I-T-O. That a boy. It's on me. That was a little bit low. I didn't mean that.

He had a show for four and a half years, radio. You would think he knows how to speak into a fucking microphone. I was dozing off at the five-minute intro. Excuse me. Oh, you're telling me when that thing hit, you were... We're back. There we go. You mind if I spread out a little bit? You're a small guy.

This used to be on my gym playlist, Gorms. This is what you do when this part's on. You just walk around. Just build and feel it up. Maybe you get your little water break. No, but if it ain't Stapleton or Pearl Jam, I usually ain't listening. I mean, I'm a simple guy. Let's go, Gorms.

You and Ty go to fucking any better concerts. I'm a simple guy. Have you seen the duet with Stapleton and Justin Timberlake? Yeah. Because it's electric. That was three years ago. Yeah, it was. Excuse me, this is building.

Yeah, still building. Still. We're already into Saturday. The song wasn't built today. How many seconds do we think we're into that song that second time around? 37. It's 22, 23 minutes. I think we beat Josh right around a minute, right?

What do you think? I will say 47. I'm going to hire. 45. Todd, we shouldn't even play the game. 47 seconds. No! Todd's playing the game. We're still building. That's going to hire. 45. Todd, we shouldn't even play the game. 47 seconds. No! Todd's playing the game.

We're still building. That's awesome. 48. 49. 50. We are at 55 seconds and counting. It is a little long. Probably could have done 30.

Or 45. Yeah, 45. Is it 115? Most of the great ones are usually long, like 130, 120. What do you mean? Who's the great ones? Who are the great ones? Titanic?

What are you talking about? Ever heard of Opus before? Who? Opus? No, he's not on my top play. Let's get back to it. I don't know what the fuck an Opus is. Sorry, start that one right before you get a change of play.

Eric Prince, you ever heard of Eric Prince? Yeah, call on me. Yeah, yeah, he has a song, Opus. The intro is about 250. It's insane. You're saying I'd like it, though, you think? No. It's a very big build, but yeah, definitely by the end.

I can't watch it. Like Making of a Murderer or whatever? Yep. Can't watch it. I didn't do nothing. I've heard that's a good impression. Oh, man, I love Stephen Avery. My life be like ooh-la.

You know this song, Jeff? Of course. You fucking better. Never heard that. That's bad. As someone who was a musical tour manager, I feel like you should know more music. Like I said, I'll go back.

Chris Stapleton, Pearl Jam. I'm just saying. I'm not listening to Cadets. How about this guy? He was traveling for some time. Time. Looking for a fishing pole. And a bottle of Shine.

That's embarrassing. I think you should be embarrassed. What do you mean embarrassed? I don't have Netflix and I don't have Facebook. I mean, I've never had Facebook. Why should I be embarrassed? You know what? That's why everybody plays their fucking music.

Those are the two things. If not there, Netflix for sure. If you're not listening to music on Facebook, you're listening to music on Netflix. Who was it? Help me out on there. Oh, I love him. Darius Rockford.

Darius probably would crush this. Oh, no way. I thought it sounded good. Booty. Here's a long build. I'm going to let you know. Watch your words for the next couple seconds. I got it.

I love it so far. Pretty good, huh? Not bad. Already a target getting out of the car, though. You know what I mean? You know what I mean, bro? I mean, come on. Start it in the garage.

70 years old. He's got the attention span of a 12 year old. For fuck's sake. Get to it. Christ. It's the string scores. It's 59 seconds of strings, and then we get into it. Choose your words wisely.

Choose your words wisely. Well, I don't need to lie no more. Oh, yeah. Will Smith, love him. Oh, fuck it. This fucker. Hey, Gorms, take a fucking hike. Just for future reference, we love Will Smith here.

I got kicked out. That was not Will Smith. He's just not been able to look me in the eye. All right? That's a tough miss on Will Smith. That's our guy, Mac Miller. Yeah. Mac Miller just passed away. Oh, rest in peace.

Yes, rest in peace. Ariana Grande. But comparing him to Will Smith completely makes up for anything you said. It's just a catalog. I just get mixed up. Will Smith, completely mixed up for anything you said. It's just a catalog. I just get it mixed up. Because Will Smith is a legend, obviously. Will Smith is one of the greatest actors, rappers, ball time. Where's he at on your playlist?

Social media. Oh. I was actually just scrolling pretty deep here. I didn't know how long it would last. Nick might have hacked your playlist. Oh, my God. I think he got it out there. Anti-light and that fire's not in there?

That fire. Everybody get lit. Hey, you like Will Smith? You ever meet him? Yeah. Good guy. Good guy. Great guy. Big smile. Great to meet you. You know, just plays the game great. Good handshake. Plays the game great. Football game. Life? Yeah.

He plays the game of life, right? Yeah. He's dominated everything he does. Muhammad Ali. Yeah plays the game great. He plays the game of life right? Yeah. He's dominated everything he does. Muhammad Ali. If you're a sheep. If you're a sheep? Does that work? I don't think that works. No, there's wolves and sheep. Sheeps just follow the herd. But you could be a sheep?

Really? I thought sheep was a plural thing. What did you think the singular was? Shipe. To be honest, while I was making the argument thought sheep was a plural thing. No, no, no. What did you think the singular was? Shipe. To be honest, while I was making the argument, sheep was very much... I was reaching deep in there. That was tough. Shrimp.

Anyways, Will Smith is good at everything. Yeah. Everything. He's got a banger for every genre of life. Yep. Open marriage, too. It all worked out. What's that? banger for every genre of life. Yep. I hope. Open marriage, too. Mm-hmm. Get it all.

Get it all worked out. What's that? I don't know what that means. Have sex with whoever you want. Didn't start open. Yeah. Be home by midnight. He forced his way into that one.

It would not be fair for him to keep himself to just one woman. Wait! I have not changed. I have not changed. Still the strange? Yes. I have not changed. And I scrolled.

We are here. What's the last one on the list? I will screenshot it. I don't want people to think I searched. No, I watched. YouTube will be able to see this. Ladies and gentlemen, one of the last songs on the playlist

together i don't know if you know that. He's found a golf swing. I don't. You don't know that? How about Kyler Murray? Did you know he was going to win the Heisman when you met him? I don't know, but after I met him, I figured he would. Really? Why is that?

Because he is a cool guy as well. Very nice guy. Yeah, really nice guy. Drafted to the MLB. He's got $9 million waiting for him as soon as he decides to leave with his Heisman. Yeah. Purdue is taking on Auburn. Yeah. How do we feel about it? Pretty good.

Their running back just left. Auburn's? Transferred. Before the bowl. Yeah. Unbelievable. Yeah. Apparently his coach burned his red shirt mid-season and so he transferred.

Braum did not leave. leave no everybody thought he was going to go to louisville because your friend dan dockett started that rumor yeah that's your friend yeah apparently dad is in the background i am friends with dad dockett by the way so you say no no no on the other side is very hilarious. And your story has become one, honestly, that has motivated and inspired millions of people. I have no idea if you knew that was going to happen. Did you have any sense at the beginning of this whole thing that you are a badass individual that the world is finally getting to see? Did you know that you were going to be an inspiration for millions and millions of people? I had no idea, no.

It was something I had prayed for, but it but something i never thought that was going to happen but something that i prayed and believed that would happen and something that did happen so i'm thankful for it you wrote your words were in the indie star about the holiday season basically being grateful your legacy is going to be one where people are just inspired to wake up and enjoy every single day. That has to feel so good, just to be that. Yeah, and I hope it is. Christmas, big time of year? It is, yeah.

Favorite Christmas gift of all time? Of all time, good question. Take your time. We've got nothing but time. I'll go first. Go for it. Okay. I once bought myself

a professional wrestling ring. I've never used it. It's sitting in my barn. If you would like it, I could give you that for Christmas. That could be a good Christmas gift. I think seeing a kid in a wheelchair

in a wrestling ring would be hilarious. That would be a good Christmas gift. I think seeing a kid in a wheelchair in a wrestling ring. That would be a picture. Let me tell you what. Tyler, you could change that. You could change it. You could be the first in the wrestling. We should think about making that happen. You are a lifelong Purdue fan? Not lifelong. No. Group of an IU fan, actually.

Too straight. What happened? i got cancer okay so iu see you later yep yep bye bye iu yeah pretty much so you get you are a three-time cancer survivor uh you're currently kicking its ass right now again for the fourth time am i correct that would be correct yeah i'd say for the fourth time. Am I correct? That would be correct, yeah. This is the fourth time, right? Same cancer every single time? Yep.

So you beat it first time, comes back. Beat it again, comes back. Beat it a third time, comes back. And you still have this positive aura when a lot of people probably would have gotten fed up with it. How do you stay so positive? It all goes back to my faith, honestly. It really does. That's the core of my life, my faith.

Just being able to wake up every day and know that I have a Savior who loves me, and at the end of the day, everything's going to be all right is what keeps me going. You're the toughest dude I've seen. You're the toughest dude I've seen. I've showered with guys who battle and hand joust for a living and tackle people when they're 350 350 400 pounds i've seen wrestlers i've met wrestlers who battle through injuries and this and that you're the toughest human i've ever met in my entire life well thank you and it's all because of the faith yep what's on the agenda for today do we have a tv watching schedule or do we get on the internet? What do we spend our days doing? I write a lot.

Do some stuff for the Colts on the side. Oh, really? Yeah. What are you doing for the Colts? Player analysis, actually. And dad's statistics stuff. Is this just under the table? They're paying you under the table, like behind closed doors?

Nobody knows that the Colts have a secret weapon coming from them live from this living room? Apparently so. I don't know if you're telling the truth, Arena. No. The Colts reach out to you and they say, listen, Tyler, here's the deal. On the low, team doesn't look great right now. They hire you.

They go on a five-game winning streak. Lose to the Jaguars shouldn't happen. Get back in the winning because of you? I don't know if it's because of me. I wouldn't credit it to me in any way. I will. I'll set it. Because they're the same team before you joined them,

the same team after you joined them. They started winning. What have you been doing? You've been doing data and analytics and stuff like that? Yeah. What have you learned? So that's what I wanted to do when I went to Purdue is sports analytics, moneyball type stuff was kind of why I went to Purdue

and what I wanted to do professionally. So I entered for them over the summer, and then now because of my story, I've gotten to know Chris Ballard and told him, hey, anytime you want me to do some DAS stuff for you, let me know. And he came back and said, hey, here's a spreadsheet. Here's anytime you want me to do some dad stuff for you let me know and he came back and say hey here's here's a spreadsheet here's right away you did it want you to do and so that's we've been doing Chris Bowers cool dude man yes he's got that southern draw to rule makes it you know what I mean yeah hey Tyler this is what we're gonna need from you exactly what did he

need from you what number can you tell me am I allowed to know than the analytics that you've come up with? Or are we full beaming? Is that the guy's name? Who's the money ball guy? Billy Bean. Billy Bean. Brad Pitt.

Yep. Am I allowed to know the secret sauce that you've done for the Colts? I don't know. I can show you the spreadsheet if you want to see it. Yes, absolutely. I'm real excited about this. No, dad's saying no in the back all right let's read off some stats here that i've made the codes i'm joking you don't have to show me this what is one thing you've learned from the analytics

though that you didn't expect just like just like ticketing i i've been doing some ticketing stuff as well just like in where you, demographics of people who buy tickets and where they come from. Business of this whole thing. Oh, yeah. I didn't know this was happening. The Colts literally have an ace up their sleeve. Selling tickets for them. Are you the reason why they came out with like the two-game season ticket options?

I'll be excited to hear this. at this what are these uh this is all player evaluations so so i always sent a bunch of um video players so this is like their valuations so you're scouting players for the Indianapolis Colts right now? I was. Who are we taking? Where are we going? We're probably going to... I can't tell you that.

Who are we picking, Tyler? That's not information I can tell you. So that would have been... The move is that you'll continue to do scouting for the Colts. I think so.

Have you enjoyed it? I have. Did they give you like a film watching thing or have you been doing it on your iPad? An XO's thing? Mm-hmm. Really? You got an XO's controller here? Mm-hmm.

A little pause, laser pointer, freeze, slow motion? Oh, yeah. They want you back. Who? Coles. No, no, no. I'm too retired now. I'm too old.

The answer is no. Did you do any film study of me? I did not. Good. Let's keep it that way. I don't need to hear it. I don't want to hear your... Because I feel like, look at these numbers.

He's all in right here. 4.65 speed on this guy. Dante Booker. Good for Dante. Dante doesn't even know. Dante Booker has no idea right now. He's worried about... He's from Ohio State here.

He has no clue that Urban Meyer is retiring. He has no idea that there is a weapon scouting him right now for the Indianapolis Colts and Chris Ballard. One of the hottest teams in the NFL, by the way, you are scouting for right now. Hardly. What was that hardly talk? What was all that hardly talk?

Hardly. You don't think they're one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now? I don't know. They're doing really well. Let me tell you what. They are. They are playing really well. And are back in the playoff race. See? Good news.

Steelers lose, too. Good for the AFC North. You have jerseys signed here from... Oh, boy. I just knocked down the Peyton one. That's on me. Drew Brees, Peyton Manning. Is that Kerrigan?

Perduga, right? Yep. Vinatieri, the GOAT, Luck. Have you got to talk to all these people? Have they reached out? I have, yeah. Drew Brees, good guy? He is.

Is he? It's interesting. He's exactly the guy you think he is well i think terribly of him well that's not good well he stole a super bowl from my left ring finger my rookie year with his saints team him and his baby up there celebrating you remember that tyler i do yeah 2010 that was the year yeah i did i didn't do well but we lost we did we did unfortunately um what are you writing are you writing a book you said you're doing a lot of writing yeah we are we are in the process of writing a book. Do you have a title?

Yeah, we do. I feel like I messed this up. Don't worry about it. I messed up the Peyton thing. That's from a 2002 game, actually. This one here? Yeah. I was in high school then. Game one, 2002 Peyton Manning.

To Tyler, keep fighting and keep the faith. All my best. You have kept the faith. Good for Peyton Manning. Two, Tyler. Keep fighting and keep the faith. All my best. You have kept the faith. Good for Peyton. Good guy. Man, I feel like we're just... Oh, the book. You're writing a book right now?

Yeah. A lot of pictures? Oh, no, we're not writing a book. Can we tease the book? No, we are writing a book. We are writing a book. But I don't know if we can share the title again. Okay, no title.

Don't do that. Don't give me the title. We'll keep that out. We're writing a book but i don't know if you can share the title okay no title don't do that don't give me the title we'll keep that out what um have you been writing the book in the note section in there no do you have uh somebody helping you right yes how's it been going has it been emotional awesome has it been emotional for sure yeah is it like sit down interviews full quick q a and then they come back with something you say you like it you don't like it exactly yeah when's the release you think good question no idea how close are we to the the is the book currently in the middle of being written i assume that's awesome that's so cool you have a book being written about you you have I assume there'll be a lot of documentaries from ESPN at some point

It is, yeah. Like I said, I feel really blessed. And I'm really grateful. Purdue beating Ohio State. Coolest thing that's happened thus far. Yeah, probably.
