The boys are kind of trickling back from the holiday break. I hope you all had a great one. Christmas was a fantastic one over at the McAfee. Shelby got
Starting point is 00:02:12 restored. Excited to have 662 ponies back underneath the loins. It looks unbelievable. It's parked outside. I drove it down here tonight. We recorded this last night. I drove her down. It was my first time in there in like three years. We had a little bit of a moment there whenever we first started. I had to reconnect the Bluetooth.
Starting point is 00:02:30 You know what I mean? Yeah. It was a reintroduction. I had to reconnect the Bluetooth in there. That was probably four phones ago. Oh, so many. I couldn't even guess. We reconnected.
Starting point is 00:02:40 At any point, did you rub the dashboard? I did. I did. That's a good thing to do. I also gave a little pat on the side seat and then the thing in between the two. You know where you rest your elbow. Center console. So it's a stick, right?
Starting point is 00:02:53 So there's a place where you have your arm at all times. And it was like I gave it like a little pat. And basically whenever I reconnected, I put on guess who's back. Guess who's back. Guess who's back. And we had a moment. And I drove down here. Guess Who's Back. Guess Who's Back. And we had a moment, and I drove down here, and it's very difficult to keep it under a speed limit. I can imagine.
Starting point is 00:03:14 660 horses. I don't know if anybody knows that. I don't know a lot about cars, but it's a lot. It's a lot. And I'll tell you what, that 662 horses got me in the trouble. That's why I hadn't driven this thing for about three years i thought i was a fast and furious star it looks exactly i fell in love with that car it was the the star of the movie need for speed and that's the exact car that you have so i've never seen that movie obviously yeah you know that i've never seen
Starting point is 00:03:38 that movie it's great but i wanted a viper so all these things that I have now are basically little goals of when I was a kid. I've been doing some reflecting on my life. A lot of reflection on my life these last couple days because I haven't been coming in. Because my brother made me this incredible Christmas gift. It was a Barnabas decision sign. Oh, really? No way. It's wood.
Starting point is 00:04:00 It's got chains on it. It's like this big thing. He wants me to hang it. And in there, there's like the aquatic vehicle, the wrestling ring. He's got them all in there. I think, by the way, he did it in here whenever he smoked out the fuck out of it. So the bad decision might have been the laser. Those of you who don't know, Jay did a little wood engraving for some block sets that we had to mail out.
Starting point is 00:04:22 And we just connected the tube basically to a random wall that just goes right into our landlord's office. And Jay just smoked them out with pine smoke last week. When they were running the machine, I walked to Tim and I was like, have you checked next door just in case? And he was like, no, that's fine. We looked at the hallway. Did you ask him that?
Starting point is 00:04:41 Oh my God. Even better. Tim McAfee and Jason McAfee have moved their operation into the building and it has come with a few humps and speed bumps. I had to send five edible arrangements over for smoking out their whole
Starting point is 00:04:55 building. The look on that guy's face when he came over here to tell us that his office was filled with smoke. I wasn't happy. Fuck. Anyway, so he probably made that that day. So I apologize to Buckingham, but the sign looks nice. But I was reflecting on everything. All the things that I have were just like little goals when I was a kid, basically.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Like little goals when I was a kid. Like, oh, I want a sports car. I was always a Viper. I always wanted a Dodge Viper because when I was a kid, there was a calendar that had a white Dodge Viper with blue racing stripes. And I think it was at my dad's work or something. And when I was a kid, I would go and I'd look at the calendar. I was like, holy shit, that is what I want.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Escalade was the same goddamn thing. I saw a bunch of people with Escalades that were rich. I was like, when I get rich, I'm doing that. This was the same thing. But the Viper, they told me that the back end, too much power for the back end, it'll shoot out on you. Like Dodge employees were even telling me that. Like, yeah, Viper's not really, this isn't a car that you're going to want to drive.
Starting point is 00:05:50 They were like, what we recommend is the Shelby because it's got good balance and the back end doesn't really shoot out like all these other sports cars do because they're all rear wheel drive. All these, they're stick. So you can do all the burnouts and the stuff. So I was basically shoved to the shelby by people that were like listen if you're going to get a powerful car this is the car to get to if you're going to drive it on a regular basis i'm like you got it this car very much like
Starting point is 00:06:14 a race car you get inside of it it is a race car it it's not over glorified when it comes to the technology because this thing it's not supposed to be it's a fucking race performance machine it is it is a high performance machine. It's not about that. It is. It is a high-performance machine. So whenever I first got it, it was an everyday vehicle for me. I was A to B with this thing. I was getting real comfortable with her.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Her and I were having a great relationship, both Shelby and I. I was really starting to feel her. I was able to feather kind of the clutch, and I could get that thing kind of moving a little bit. I would say a false confidence. I would say a false confidence I would say false confidence I'm a race car was raining down on me raining like not just and it was it was good for probably a year straight I was doing this thing that'd be in a parking lot and if it was a little bit open I would drift around like the light pole and then I just drive away like nothing had ever happened. I'm like, this is life now.
Starting point is 00:07:06 So one day, I tried to do that in my front driveway, and boy, you know that back end that they said Vipers do? The whole Shelby's back end got loose. Sawed down a goddamn tree right in the driveway. Sawed down a fucking tree. Whole front right end demolished, completely demolished. Airbags go off. Me and Sam are in the car. It demolished. Completely demolished. Airbags go off. Me and Sam are in the car.
Starting point is 00:07:27 It's our first time in there. Airbags going off. First time in Shelby. I'm like, wait until you see this bitch ride. Sam, wait until you see this thing. I love it. And I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. This was just how me and Shelby got down.
Starting point is 00:07:40 But that back end just out of nowhere. Gone. So it starts beeping, right? This thing starts beeping. The bitch is mad. Shelby's pissed. Beep, beep. Neighbors that I had never met before that are like on the other side of my house there.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Are everything okay? Everything's fine. There's fucking smoke and the horn's going off. And Sam's like, everything's fine. I'm like, are you all right? Yeah, okay. Everything's fine. So I had to get AAA to tow it from my front yard.
Starting point is 00:08:05 To the barn? To the barn. So they said, I need an address where you want me to take this. I'm like, I just need you to take it right back down. I need you to take it right back into that barn back there. He was like, I don't know how we're supposed to charge you for this. I'm like, well, it's AAA. You're not supposed to charge me anyways.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Get that fucking thing down in that barn. He's like, yeah, but it's not going to be a completed. So the guy had to tow it outside of my driveway, turn back around and come back in my driveway and drop it off at the barn so that he could, the GPS. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beautiful. It was absolutely beautiful.
Starting point is 00:08:34 So it sat there for three years. And honestly, it just was, it was a chapter that I'd moved past. I've experienced Shelby. Her and I had a good run together, but it ended terribly. Some third party had to get involved. Triple A. Separate us
Starting point is 00:08:52 from front yard to barn. And it was just, that's how it was going to be. That's how it was going to be. Then a couple months ago, I was taking a leak and I could see down through the window as the leave would fall. And it was just a straight shot and I could see down through the window as the leave would fall. And there was just a straight shot from my pisser right to the Barnabas decisions.
Starting point is 00:09:11 And there was only one thing just staring at me. It was a Shelby. And as I was taking that morning piss, I said, it would be nice if Shelby was, you know, maybe brought her back into this world. And Sam just heard it, didn't say anything, and we just just moved on and I'd forgot about her completely completely forgot about it you even said your dad might rebuild it my dad my dad was like a hobby my dad was looking for a hobby he's like yeah you might have I like Tim Allen in the home you might have I rebuild that I was yeah go ahead do whatever you need like
Starting point is 00:09:39 I had completely moved on from Shelby they got dad if you want to take care of it you do what you got to do and And then Sam, I guess, got that thing whipped together in like a week and a half. That's it. Graham Rahal performance. Graham Rahal, he's got like a performance auto place, I guess, that does it. Yeah, they did it. Put it back together. They made it look clean, too.
Starting point is 00:10:01 They did some interior shit to it. She's back alive. The only problem is she's definitely not registered. I was driving down today. I was wide the fuck open on 70 getting into the city. I'm like, here we go. It was just like old times. Just like old times, me and Shelby.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Just like old times. We were fucking slingshot around people. Shift down. Let me bounce left. Go around this car. Go ahead and bounce back two right lanes here. Oop around the corner let me downshift then all we're back and there are nothing like her purring there and then i noticed in my head i'm like there's no way this is registered there's no way this car is registered none at all and then obviously whenever
Starting point is 00:10:40 you start panicking a little bit like that you see a car behind you like that's definitely there was a minivan behind me. These motherfuckers, they've been doing this minivan trick. These cops were way too fucking long. They're going to get me. So I drove like fucking speed limit all the way down here. I parked it. I looked.
Starting point is 00:10:54 It's 100% says 16 on the back of that thing. And I just went ahead. I locked her up twice. Homeless guy walked by, said, nice ride. I said, thanks, cuz. Came in here, and here we are. So that's my life in a nutshell the last day. Got complimented by a homeless man, thought I might end up in jail.
Starting point is 00:11:10 And Shelby's back in my life. If it makes you feel better, when Nick and I moved out here February of, what, 17, 16, whatever it was, my registration had just expired that month. And I was like, well, I'm not fucking getting registered. And I didn't get a new license plate probably until two months ago. They don't even care. I often wonder that. till two months ago so they don't even care i often wonder that i've been wondering they don't even care i feel like that's just something they can pull you over for though oh yeah yeah you know it's like uh it's like oh here's a chance if i wanted to be an they could get you
Starting point is 00:11:35 correct it's already season you don't nobody was an ass correct i'm very thankful for everything that uh happened uh from samantha my family everybody thank you for everything i hope you guys had a great Christmas. Todd, how was your Christmas? How's everything going for you? It was great. We went pretty low-key for Christmas. Nice.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Just a little family get-together. My mom's a little one of our own, and that was it. Bailey and I, though, decided to cap off our Christmas. We were very excited about going to see the Holmes and Watson movie. Oh, I saw that. Sam and I went and saw that today. Nice. Yeah, saw that yesterday. Well, I'm interested to see what Pat thinks. Hold on, hold on. I got a text
Starting point is 00:12:12 from Tom. I'm big. Hold on. I can't wait. I saw some things online that were not. We called that. Okay, hold on. Hold on. So, Sam and I go, we went to like 11.30 showing30 showing 1130 a.m. Showing yesterday of Holmes and Watson.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Okay. Obviously, we took some vitamins going in there. We knew it was going to happen. What's going down? I get back home. I'm home for less than probably 35 minutes. And Todd goes, I saw Holmes and Watson today. I wrote an entire review for IMDB.
Starting point is 00:12:41 I would like to read it on your show. I've seen it, too. I was like, so I can't wait it on your show. He said, I've seen it too. I was like, so I can't wait to hear your review. This is your actual review. Yeah, this is actually on IMDB if you look right now. So what is that? IMDB is like Yelp for movie people? Sign up real quick with your email address,
Starting point is 00:12:58 your little profile, and you're allowed to rate and comment. Oh, really? Yeah. So I've been taking those fucking ratings for serious. For the longest time. They're Todd. They're Todd. That's who they are.
Starting point is 00:13:08 They're a bunch of Todd's. When I decide between two movies, I go to IMDb and look at the rating, and it's just you, you fucking asshole. Oh, yeah, but you got to respect him. Yeah. I don't. I read through them all,
Starting point is 00:13:19 and they were all very accurate. Okay. Except for two. Sean Latham, though. Sean Latham has an entire bit about the people that rate porns. If they're going to take the time to rate the porn, you've got to respect their... If somebody's going to go on IMDB and rate the movie, you've got to respect them a little bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I mean, I created an account just to do this. I felt very sorry. I'm excited. It probably took you 20 minutes to do it. What's your username? It says Todd McCormick's Comedy. You want them to know who this is. There's no burner account.
Starting point is 00:13:51 All right. Holmes and Watson. Yep. This is my IMDb review of Holmes and Watson. The review title was From the Heart of a True Fan. Oh, good. And this is my review. When I was a rookie state trooper at the age of 24,
Starting point is 00:14:05 I had to knock on a door at 2 a.m. and awaken a mother and father just to tell them that their son, also 24, had been killed in an automobile accident. Naturally, they were distraught. I stayed in their home and answered their many questions and attempted to comfort them as best I could until family members arrived. At the mere age of 24, I was not ready for that moment, and I have spent the following 23 years securing the notion that those 90 minutes
Starting point is 00:14:28 would be the most agonizing and uncomfortable 90 minutes of my life. I was wrong. That night in 1995 will forever finish a distant second to the time I watched Holmes and Watson. That good, huh? Yeah, that good. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Oh, no. When I said that, I'm like, there's no way those fuckers are letting this on there. It was on in like two minutes. Two minutes later, it popped up. So I saw a tweet that it got like a 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes. It makes sense. And it's a rare score. No one gets
Starting point is 00:15:05 zero. And I was gonna send it to the group that we have, the group text, but I'm like, I always get pegged as the negative guy. So I didn't want to be the guy who sent in what happened. I'm so happy. John Cena's Bumblebee 98. It's 98 tomatoes or something like that. I haven't
Starting point is 00:15:21 seen it. I know all Cena does is make bangers. I know that. Braun Strowman's movie career thus far is potentially a part of one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my entire life. Easy. That Holmes and Watson movie. It's so bad. It's so terrible.
Starting point is 00:15:38 I almost feel like they did it on purpose. It was. It was almost like they're pranking us. I thought the same thing driving home. I'm like, what if Will Ferrell just pranked the entire world by making the worst movie he could possibly make? They were on Rich Eisen last week, and Rich
Starting point is 00:15:51 was hinting at another Stepbrothers. Hinting at another Stepbrothers to them, and they basically got offended. They were like, oh, we made this movie for you. And I was like, oh, maybe they have high expectations for this. It was dog shit. There was a couple times I laughed. And I was like, oh, maybe they have high expectations for this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:06 It was dog shit. I can't tell. There was a couple times I laughed. There was a couple times where I was like, oh. Okay, I get it, yeah. But it was so bad. It was so bad. Sam told me that I've never seen another Sherlock Holmes movie,
Starting point is 00:16:20 so I don't think. It was a big parody off of the Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Was the whole movie like that? It was mixed in throughout the movie. Because I saw they put a piece of off of the Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Was the whole movie like that? It was mixed in throughout the movie. Because I saw they put a piece of it in the trailer. I was like, I really hope they don't just mimic this whole movie. About four or five times he did the analytical thing where he drew pictures and shit. Yes. Which I guess was his thing.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Yeah. Which is very cool in that movie. Their parody of it did nothing. It was so bad. I don't know why he's doing it. I don't know why they let it out. It was so bad. I don't know why he's doing it. I don't know why they let it out. It was so bad. They watched it.
Starting point is 00:16:49 People feel so strongly about those two because of Step Brothers, right? Yeah, yeah. And you could tell everybody in the theater with us was on that same page when we walked in. And that movie was so bad. When it ended, it was deathly quiet. And we all locked eyes together. Everybody in the theater was like, did that just fucking happen? It looked like you would give a guy who just had to witness his own dog get run over.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Almost you're looking at them like, I wish I could go back in time five minutes and tell you not to walk outside with your dog, but I can't because I'm not God. I'm just a person, and I'm sorry this happened to was it was very much like uh we just experienced this all together uh the theater was very interesting i've never been a part of that type of thing because normally i told you guys i this i went and saw dane cook after he was robbed yeah after he was robbed he was in a bad spot he was bitter it was in pitts. He was bitter. It was in Pittsburgh. It was at PPG, I think, Paint Arena. Oh, Paint Can.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Yeah, I think it was there. And they had the entire top tarped off. But there was still, let's say, probably 9,000 people there, 8,000 people there. A lot of people there. His stage was in the middle. Sure. And I was there with Guavo. And we go.
Starting point is 00:18:03 I think somebody just gave us tickets. I don't remember how it happened. I was a huge Guavo. And we go. I think somebody just gave us tickets. I don't remember how it happened. I was a huge Dane Cook fan. All I remember that night is getting a text from you being like, I'm at a Dane Cook show. I was like, what? I didn't know how it happened.
Starting point is 00:18:18 But I was a big fan in high school. And I think somebody came up to me and remembered that I was a Dane Cook fan in high school. And was like, oh, I got good tickets for you for Dane Cook. And I just was like, yeah, fuck it, I'll go. And I went with one of her friends. And this was like, it was like 70 minutes straight of very terrible comedy. Very, very terrible comedy.
Starting point is 00:18:34 But there were still some people that were diehard Dane Cooks that were laughing at his stuff, right? There was like a couple laughs, but mostly other people. Normally in movies, same type of thing happens, especially for like legendary people. There wasn't, same type of thing happens, especially for legendary people. There wasn't any.
Starting point is 00:18:47 There was no laughing in the theater. Ours either. It was a dead quiet theater. Yeah. The longer the movie went on, you could tell people were falling deeper into shock. They're not going to pull out of this. Sam looked at me one time and was like,
Starting point is 00:19:01 this is a bad movie. Yeah, it's pretty terrible. There has to be something, though. There has to be something though there has to be something it was bad that sucks it almost it was the writing was done in such a manner made me like think they wrote the movie like four years ago and then just released it four years later because every old joke that got popular and went viral but then it got exhausted and you stopped hearing it because people wore it the fuck out was in that fucking movie. They did have like a family guy feel
Starting point is 00:19:28 where they were trying to mock things. I'm telling you, it was interesting. It was an interesting movie. Didn't expect it, but it was how we capped off our Christmas break. Both Todd and I separately, but together we did that. And I think I went because I was so excited
Starting point is 00:19:44 because it's Will Ferrell's back. I was too. I was like, man, if it's even half as good as Step Brothers, I'm going to have a good fucking time. You know what I mean? But I didn't expect that at all. They had no shot there, by the way. It's so tough after Talladega Nights and Step Brothers.
Starting point is 00:19:57 When we talked about the Step Brothers 2, should they do it? I said, don't. Please don't do it. By the way, don't. Yeah. Stop doing movies together. It's been a while. By the way, don't. Yeah. Stop doing movies together. It's been a while. By the preview
Starting point is 00:20:08 that this was going to be. It might be time to go sail off. Yeah. For a while. All three moments that at least made me think, oh,
Starting point is 00:20:15 I could see why someone would laugh here were in the trailer. That's what we talked about too. We saw the trailer. We talked about it on, I think it was on this show and we were like,
Starting point is 00:20:24 hopefully there's more stuff that's not in the trailer that they're a little higher rated, maybe a PG-13R rating. No. I feel like they can't say off now. They have to make a really good movie now. I don't know if it's going to happen. I don't know if it's going to happen, Zito.
Starting point is 00:20:39 I'm telling you it was bad. Well, now the next movie you watch, you're going to be like, oh, it was better than this movie. Yeah. Or if it has to. I mean, it was so bad. It was bad. Well, now the next movie you watch, you'll be like, oh, it was better than this movie. Yeah. More, more if it has to, yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 00:20:47 it was so bad. It was bad, Zito. It was bad. Like, no way when that reached the final edit, no way anybody signed off
Starting point is 00:20:54 for that movie to go out. you know what? Humor is different for everybody. I'm sure. Maybe they submitted the wrong movie. I was thinking,
Starting point is 00:21:01 while I was in there, I always say that humor is always, you know, it's a taste. In that movie, during that movie, it was the first time I ever doubted myself. First time I ever doubted that scene. Where I was like, I don't think anybody's going to laugh at this. I don't think anybody's going to say this was a good movie.
Starting point is 00:21:15 No, I don't think so. I felt like a hater, too. I felt like a real fucking hater. I was like, no way. I can't be this big of a hater. Wolf Harrell's a genius. This is hilarious. This is hilarious.
Starting point is 00:21:24 This is hilarious. Man, what the fuck are they doing this is not what are they doing in here that'd be interesting to know if it was like a passion project or if they were just like just mailing it in just for a page i don't think so because it didn't even weren't even things you would expect them to say they were so not funny you know what i mean it's almost like just a bunch of writers put a bad script together, and they just did it. I'll tell you what. There were some things, though, like it was Mr. Magoo,
Starting point is 00:21:50 like dumb little stupid little jokes that happened in there that I laughed a couple times at. There was like little things that happened like very off the wall, out of nowhere, a line is said that you would never expect. It's like, oh, that was kind of clever. I see you guys wanted to force that joke in there. Right, right. I said it was like Anchorman 2, right?
Starting point is 00:22:06 They released an Anchorman 2 that was original, and then there was 100-some extra jokes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I think Will Ferrell and that gang over there is just writing jokes over there, and they're just, like, forcing them. I don't know what they're doing over there. I'm worried about them.
Starting point is 00:22:21 I'm worried. I'm worried. Diggs, how was the trip back to Italy? I had a rough 36 hours at one point. Why? So it started Saturday night when the Ravens beat the Chargers. Oh, yeah, shit, I completely forgot about this. Oh, yeah, you guys, terrible spot.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Hey, Pittsburgh Steelers, it's all over. So that kicked things off in a way, in a fashion that wasn't great. I was like, oh, okay, well, we're going to have to beat the Saints. I was actually pretty confident about that. And then I was hanging out. I wasn't going to drink until the game because I didn't I don't like watching the games drunk because a bad side of me comes out.
Starting point is 00:22:54 And then one o'clock rolls around and the Giants go up fucking 14-0. I start hammering drinks. Because if the Giants beat the Colts, all we have to do is beat Cincy. Nothing else fucking matters. Oh, okay. So you're the Giants beat the Colts, all we have to do is beat Cincy. Nothing else fucking matters. Oh, okay. So you're thinking Andrew Luck in the Colts
Starting point is 00:23:09 getting ham-bound by Saquon Barkley and Eli Manning resurgence, by the way. He throws that horrible fucking, I don't even know what that interception was in the end zone at one point. I was like, oh, that's fucking cool. That was Eli Manning's what that was. Eli Manning, by the way, looked like Eli Manning of 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:23:28 He did. That was his best. It was like a career game. A couple quarters there. It could be the worst possible thing imaginable for the Giants because now they're going to keep him. He must have heard those kind words Cam Jordan had to say about him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Cam Jordan said it about Ben. Yeah, but he put Eli above him and was like, I'll take Eli over him. I think he's the guy. So Eli heard his first compliment in probably a decade. I think so. And was like, okay, I'm going to prove Cam Jordan right because that's where I'm from. Anyways, New Orleans.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Because Eli did look like a different guy. Yes, he did. He looked great. This was like a golf shot you're saying, Diggs. It's going to bring him back. It's going to bring him back to the game. You have one good golf shot, you want to play golf again. He plays one good game, the Giants are going to be like, Eli still got it.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Look what he did here. He's going to fuck them. Week 16. Okay. And I couldn't have cared less about that game originally because I thought the Colts were going to hammer him. But once they're up 14-0, I'm like, oh, fuck. I care about this game. And I want it to happen so bad.
Starting point is 00:24:17 And then the Colts came back. And I was so angry. I couldn't have been more angry. You were not happy. I was not happy. You were drinking to a bad side of you. Colts put out a tweet. I wish the entire city burned down.
Starting point is 00:24:28 The Colts said that or you said that? No, the Colts put out a tweet and I quote to it. I said, I hope this whole fucking city burns down. Okay, well, you were in a good spot. Which wasn't great. Which wasn't great. I was like, all right, it's fine. All we have to do is bait the Saints.
Starting point is 00:24:38 I felt really good about that. And then fucking Stephen Ridley, the worst human on this goddamn planet, fumbles away his second fucking game this season. Oh, wow. And then they lose to the Saints, and I went off on the Saints. Hold on. Ridley gets yelled at there?
Starting point is 00:24:54 Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, you think we're going to yell at Juju? No, no, no. No, no, no. I didn't know if Juju was going to catch any of them. No, no, no. Juju was just trying hard. By the way, Juju, the same reason you love Juju is the same reason why that happened. So you can't be mad at Juju. No, no, no. You can't be mad at Juju. No, no, no. Juju was just trying hard. By the way, Juju, the same reason you love Juju is the same reason why that happened.
Starting point is 00:25:06 So you can't be mad at Juju. No, no, no. You can't be mad at Juju. No, no, no. Terrible timing. Terrible timing for it to happen. No one's mad at Juju. I'm at my family's house.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Or, sorry, not my family's. My girlfriend's family's house. Oh, great. Watching this game. Great. Fucking going off. Which is fine. They're diehard Notre Dame fans.
Starting point is 00:25:22 They get it. And they were actually, by the end of the game, very hardly rooting for the Steelers. I was like, all right, let's go. This isn't bad. So the game ends. I don't talk the rest of the night to anybody. You're at your girlfriend's family's house for the holidays. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:36 For Jesus' birthday. We were celebrating Christmas. For Jesus' birthday. Yeah, yeah. And Drew Brees beats the Steelers. And you don't talk to anybody in your room. No, no, no. The rest of the night. Fuck them all.
Starting point is 00:25:47 I did a couple shots and just kind of sat there. Do they know not to approach you? Yeah. How does the shots work? Everybody's just in the living room taking shots. You're just sitting there in the recliner by yourself? Me and the brother pretty much went to the kitchen. I was like, I need a drink, man. I need to put these away.
Starting point is 00:26:04 So you go to the kitchen to hide from everybody. Don't talk to them. Go to bed. Yes, pretty much. Wake up in the morning to drive to my family's house. Go to load the trunk, and I'm like, hmm, that's funny. There used to be presents in this fucking trunk. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:26:18 I walk back in the house. I'm like, hey, Erica, did you take the presents from my family out and just put them in the house for safekeeping? No. Why? I'm like, well, they're did you take the presents from my family out and just put them in the house for safekeeping? No. Why? I'm like, well, they're not there. Oh, fuck. So I walked back out just to make sure.
Starting point is 00:26:30 I'm like, nope, definitely not there. Then I was like, hmm, let's see if anything else is missing. Nothing was really missing inside of the car. Then I opened my glove box. Gun was gone. I was like, oh, okay, definitely got robbed. Oh, no. So no window broken?
Starting point is 00:26:43 No, no, no. You just leave your car unlocked? Nope, it was locked. Unfortunately, we had went to the casino previously the day before, and I left my keys in her dad's car, which was parked right next to mine. And if my keys are close enough to my car, all you have to do is press the button on my door and it opens. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:27:03 I forgot that they were in there. Oh, my gosh. That seems like a were in there. Oh, my gosh. It seems like a major design flaw. Oh, my God. Terrible technology. Fail there. So I was like, do I call the cops? Because I know they're not going to find me.
Starting point is 00:27:15 They're not even going to fucking look. Yeah, we're going to stop all the murder investigations. I was like, I got to get home to Pittsburgh. Do I even call the fucking cops? And then I was like, well, I should Pittsburgh do I even call the fucking cops and then I was like well I should probably report that the gun's stolen because if you're choosing a murder I don't feel like going to jail so with that all happened and we fucking drove to Pittsburgh
Starting point is 00:27:34 Pittsburgh was fine I mean it was fucking Christmas I mean Papa Diggs made his filet they did their I really didn't talk to them much on Monday either. I was still feeling the after effects. Okay, so Steelers lose out of the playoffs. Your car gets robbed. Gun gets robbed.
Starting point is 00:27:52 You got to drive 10 hours. Yep. Fuck everybody. Shining light, though. Browns are going to beat the Ravens this week. We're good. Steelers are going to be in a good spot, you said. All we have to do is beat the...
Starting point is 00:28:02 All of the Browns just have to beat the Ravens. Which, by the way, very possible. I've been on that train for weeks. Yeah, we've been saying for weeks that the Browns are fucking brilliant. We've been saying how good Baker is. How good the Browns are. Who's been saying it? You guys.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Yeah. You two over there. How impressive he looks. Oh, yeah, yeah. You guys have been singing me all these praises. I think we can probably turn back tapes, probably prove it. 100% right. You guys have been talking about how great Baker is for this whole time.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Against Baltimore, yeah. I think he's going to look really good. You guys have been saying how Baker's the future and how Cleveland's probably going to win the AFC North within the next couple years. I'm so confident in the Browns. I went and hammered Steelers' fucking Super Bowl today. So you think Cleveland Browns, little gift-a-roo for the Pittsburgh Steelers,
Starting point is 00:28:40 little gif-a-gif. Here you go. Congratulations, and then on to a Super Bowl run. Steelers get in. They're not losing, guaranteed. Iifty gift. Here you go. Congratulations. And then on to a Super Bowl run. Steelers get in. They're not losing. Guaranteed. I can fucking guarantee that right now. If the Steelers get in the tournament, they're not losing.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Ben won't let it happen? No, no, no. We're just going to cut out all the dumb mistakes that have cost them fucking four games this year. I'll tell you what. Steelers are going to be in an interesting spot here if the Lamar Jackson and the Ravens beat the Browns. Lamar looks good, by the way. He does. He has that ability that's like T.Y. Hilton not to get hit.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is a wild thing because we've talked great. I've talked at large lengths about how. Slimy. What? He's slimy. I think that is a negative comment. I would never say that.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Sounds like that has a negative. It just turns into a wet noodle at the end. I even wish the Ravens fans Merry Christmas yesterday. It was big of me. That is very big of you. Wouldn't have done it Sunday or Monday. You're also posting pictures of you as a Browns fan. I mean, there's big things happening.
Starting point is 00:29:36 I am the biggest Browns fan in the world this week. Lamar Jackson, the only thing that can get him, because he's a running quarterback, right, is if he gets hurt like every other running quarterback in the history of the game. But he has an ability, and T.Y. Hilton had it. I think Marvin Harrison had it as well, this ability to not get hit. At the beginning, if you're a wide receiver, a lot of people talk shit to you for it. Like T.Y., they used to talk shit to T.Y. for going out of bounds
Starting point is 00:30:02 instead of running somebody over for the extra two yards. Or T.Y.'s in the middle of the field and he just slides and dives. And he'll pick up like 22 yards. Could he have picked up 26? Maybe. But he would have taken a huge hit. And at the beginning, the media crushes him for it. But then whenever you're not hurt ever and you just play,
Starting point is 00:30:22 it's like, oh, this is probably a good idea. Lamar Jackson very much seems to have the similar quality he they talked about the entire this is the first time i ever watched a ravens game and listen to him talk about him he he gave an answer to the one analyst when he asked him about health and stuff he said i haven't really taken any big shots yet i haven't really taken any big shots i think he took one this past weekend but i think he has the ability to kind of sense it they look like they they're going all in too. They're going all in. They're bringing in fucking six tight ends. Three fullbacks. They're going Army, Navy,
Starting point is 00:30:50 T. They're doing it. I'm surprised no one's figured it out yet. I don't like to compliment Harbaugh often, but that guy can scheme. He can work around the players that they give him and he can scheme up ways to get them, except for Joe Flacco. I don't know what he did there. They won a Super Bowl. With any other coach, they probably would have had three or four wins a year Joe Flacco. I don't know what he did there. Well, I mean, they won a Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:31:05 With any other coach, they probably would have had three or four wins a year with Flacco, but with Harbaugh. Eight or nine. Harbaugh is extended for another year, they say. They're going to go all in on this. You're looking at every little stocky white guy in America in college football that's up this year that's going into the NFL. Like, all right, we got a shot.
Starting point is 00:31:25 You know what I mean? I can end up at the Ravens. They're just going to have like 14 offensive linemen, a fucking game dress, and just rotate them in. I'll be excited. They said they're going all in on that. And I think Lombardi, who's the guy's name? Lombardi?
Starting point is 00:31:39 Is there a Michael Lombardi? Yes. So Michael Lombardi put out a tweet. I'm going to read it. Ty, what's up, brother? How's it going? You missed some Holmes and Watson talk. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:49 It's bad. Ty, the worst movie. Really? The worst. Todd compared it to when he had to wake up parents at 3 a.m. and tell them that their 24-year-old son was murdered. Compared it to those 90 minutes of his life did you go on christmas day we went today oh really yeah we must have gone at the same time because i texted him right when i
Starting point is 00:32:13 got back and he's like i just saw it too yeah it's bad okay ready yeah michael lombardi you can leave all that in there by the way ty ty schmidt just got here so i follow this michael lombardi. You can leave all that in there, by the way. Ty Schmidt just got here. So I follow this Michael Lombardi guy. Do you know who he is? Yeah. NFL Network. I don't know who he is, to be honest. I guess he was with the Jets for a little bit, maybe, and he has a book out right now.
Starting point is 00:32:35 He was with the Eagles when they won the Super Bowl, right? I don't know. I honestly have no clue. I think he used to be a front office guy. Now he's like an analyst figurehead type guy. Yeah, and he wrote a book. Relations with Vince? Now he's like an analyst figurehead type. Yeah, and he wrote a book.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Relations to Vince? I would assume that the Lombardi name is a football Lombardi name. I would assume. I'm not certain, but I would assume. A lot of Italians in this fucking sport. A lot of Italians in the sport of football. We had some of ours in our high school. No relation to Vince.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Really? We did. Yeah, you're 100% right. I would assume somewhere, though, back in the shoe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, back in the shoe. Back in the shoe, somewhere deep down. Anyways, he puts out a tweet, and I've enjoyed following along with him. He tweets stuff that is interesting from a different perspective,
Starting point is 00:33:17 from a front office perspective, you know. But he tweeted out after the game, if Baltimore ever realizes that Lamar Jackson can do more than they are letting him do in a passing game, they're going to be hard to beat for any team. They're 5-1. Like, hey, they're fucking 5-1. Maybe they're figuring it out.
Starting point is 00:33:34 If they ever realize that Lamar Jackson can do more than they are letting him do, they're 5-1. Maybe they have a plan. And it's working. I just don't enjoy that thought. Oh, they're restricting Lamar Jackson. Yeah, they're fucking plan for them. And it's working. I just don't enjoy that thought. Oh, they're restricting Lamar Jackson. Yeah, they're fucking winning though. Let them do whatever the fuck they want to do.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Hey, only play half as good as you can. Don't bring out all the weapons. I think Lamar is liking it, by the way. He's a shit talker. I didn't know he's like an emotional. They had him mic'd up or they had camera on him before they went in for that last drive and he was like talking shit like philip river-esque i think so to his team he was like that i don't think it was like vicious i think he was just like uh yeah let's go like he's like uh i think he's a gamer i think he knows that he's the most athletic human on most fields wherever
Starting point is 00:34:18 he's on it not in that situation and not to change stuff i'm not changing the subject but when they do the mic'd up and they go to the mic'd up. They're so bad, bro. It's the worst thing. It's always them on the field fucking running and panting. That's one of the clips. And then on the sideline going, let's go! That's all it is.
Starting point is 00:34:34 That's fucking all it is. They're always terrible. Always terrible. And they always set it up, too. Like, oh, we got an inside look to the game with Aaron Rodgers mic'd up tonight. It's just like. Yeah, I'm mic'd up. Don't say anything.
Starting point is 00:34:54 All right. Thank you, Aaron, for wearing the mic for us tonight. Are you self-conscious or do you just forget about it? I've never worn it. I've turned it down every single time. You do not want to be the mic'd up guy. I couldn't imagine it being anything worse. it down every single time. You do not want to be the mic'd up guy. I couldn't imagine it being anything worse.
Starting point is 00:35:08 That was that Seabass clip. Exactly. Everybody was like, look at Seabass pumping up. I was like, no, no, no. He was yelling at him for not telling him that he was fucking mic'd up. Because you have no clue who's seeing that. You could talk shit on front office, right? You can be like, I have no idea who this fucking guy is.
Starting point is 00:35:24 You have no idea who's seeing that footage. Because if they're mic'd up, that means the camera's on them at all times literally at all times somebody at nfl films or at the nfl or at your team somebody is filming you at all times and listening to every word you say you can't say anything you can't even be like man this motherfucker always does this you can't do that because you're really a rat you're an informant you have no clue who's gonna see that footage at some point. You have no idea. So it's just common courtesy. Everybody, it's just a double tap. It's literally just the hate. It's the same one cops have about the mic.
Starting point is 00:35:53 So my parents, for Christmas, I just bought them one of those ring doorbells, which is like a webcam and a microphone in it. And my dad installed it, and then he looked at me, and he goes, hey, just a little word to the wise. Don't be having any interesting conversations when you walk up to the door from now on because we can hear everything you're saying. I wonder if my mom's being a bitch today.
Starting point is 00:36:16 What did you just say? I just got Erica one of those Furbo dog cameras so she could watch Daisy during the day. I'm like, I can't wait till I forget that fucking camera's in the living room and I do something super real fucking dumb. And it's there forever.
Starting point is 00:36:27 It's there forever. By the way, after my presents got stolen, I just printed out pictures of them and gave them to my kids. I gave them pictures of their presents.
Starting point is 00:36:37 They appreciated the thought. I don't know if I'm going to buy them again or not. Hey, the gun, the gun being robbed, that's a real thing. Yeah, yeah. They're like, do you know the serial number?
Starting point is 00:36:46 I'm like, I don't know the fucking serial number. I know that motherfucker can bust through a sock drawer. Hey, hey, that thing is one and over sock drawer, sir. You might want to get that off the streets. Aren't you supposed to know what the serial number is on my gun? Well, I got to go fucking looking for it. Are you going to get another gun? You have to, huh?
Starting point is 00:37:02 I got a couple. I'm fine. Nick, you let me drive your car home the other day. Yeah. And I think you told me that there's a gun in there. Yeah, so be careful if you open the glove box. Don't be startled. There's a gun in there. I'm like, Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:37:16 And Bailey's got 14 guns in there. He always has them. You never know what my family's family's done to some other's family's family. I understand that for you, Italians. But I'm just saying like in general though people are strapped i don't think i don't think i don't think i realized how many motherfuckers are strapped up at any like i think anybody could get it in a lot of situations i and i know honestly that time i reach into the backpack to look for a lighter. And there's just a croc sitting there with this knife that's straight out of the outback. I was like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:37:50 Who is this? And then Nick. And now Diggs is getting guns robbed from him. We lived in the South Side for years. We always say, head on a swivel. Head on a swivel. You guys lived in the jungle down there. You have to have it.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Unbelievable. Zito, how was your weekend, bud? It was very good. Really small Christmas. I watched maybe five movies. Six movies. I did, too. Okay, what all did you watch?
Starting point is 00:38:11 What did we get to? Bumblebee, Aquaman. Oh, was Bumblebee dope? Well, they did John Cena wrong, kind of, in the movie. Really? He took one for the team, then. Yeah, you could tell he was holding back. Really?
Starting point is 00:38:22 Yeah. His lines were kind of dummy. Oh, no! That's just smart writing. No! like he was holding back. Really? Yeah. Like his lines were kind of like like dummy. Oh no. That's just smart writing. No. Well like he has He can carry a movie. He's like a smart ass
Starting point is 00:38:32 funny guy. And he never he only did it once the whole movie. Well that was like when The Rock was starting out he didn't have the best roles like the Scorpion King.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Bro his voice carried an entire bull movie. Okay. John Cena's line delivery and voice carried an entire bull movie. That made's line, delivery, and voice carried an entire bull. That made me cry. It made me cry.
Starting point is 00:38:49 It did. You know what else kept happening during that movie? I want to see if it happened in years or not, if it was just our theater. But it looked like it was in the movie. But, you know, sometimes they do the voice after because it's an action scene. Was it lined up with the lips? Yeah, yeah. And there was one time the guy had his back to it, and he gave something, and they cut the scene.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was bad. That was the worst. Intentionally messed up there was one time the guy had his back to it and he gave something and they cut the scene. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was bad. Did they mess up the voice? I don't think it was intentionally, but evidently it's in the movie because we saw it in two different places. I don't know. The movie theater I go to is a place where you should be strapped up.
Starting point is 00:39:18 It's closest to the house and they got recliners. Yep. So I pull the trigger. So Cena kind of got punked in there. Yeah, kind of. You can't see him in there. He probably has like eight good scenes.
Starting point is 00:39:29 But the movie was high. It was very good. Yeah. It just it sucks if you're a Shia LaBeouf guy and the old Transformer guy. Who's a Shia LaBeouf guy? Ain't nobody a Shia LaBeouf guy.
Starting point is 00:39:37 I didn't know there were Shia LaBeouf guys. What are you talking about? Like the original like Transformers. Like back whenever he was in that little kid Disney movie whenever.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Even Steven. I remember him from that when he was sitting. The only episode movie? Even Steven. I remember him from that. The only episode I remember was him sleeping in a store on a bed. Yep. See if you can do it for 24 hours straight. That's the only episode I remember. And then I saw him in Transformers and I saw him on the internet. You didn't like him in the original Transformers?
Starting point is 00:39:58 I don't think I've ever really seen it. But I knew that he was on there and then he dominated the internet there for a couple years. Dominated the internet. He could still do that, by the way, anytime then he dominated the internet there for a couple years. Dominated the internet. He could still do that, by the way, anytime he wants to. He makes an appearance every once in a while, and the internet just shows up.
Starting point is 00:40:14 He's wearing boots or something from a Goodwill store, and he's wearing a mullet. He did that social experiment where he watched all his movies in like three days and invited everyone to come watch it in the movie theater. Really? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't think anybody's Shia LaBeouf guy. He's like a weird bootleg Kanye in that sense.
Starting point is 00:40:29 He can just do something, and he just takes over. So Shia LaBeouf is a white Kanye? I mean, not with the talent. By the way, I might be looking at him wrong. Maybe I like Shia LaBeouf. If he's just a white Kanye. He's very polarizing, I think, is what you could say. You're a Shia LaBeouf guy?
Starting point is 00:40:43 I'm a Shia LaBeouf guy. So that's why you didn't like the Bumblebee movie? Yeah, that's the only thing. But I'm a big Harleyizing, I think, is what you could say. You're a Shia LaBeouf guy? I'm a Shia LaBeouf guy. So that's why you didn't like the Bumblebee movie? Yeah, that's the only thing. But I'm a big Harley Steinfeld guy, so I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Yeah. Who's that? That's the chick in it. So John Cena is Shia LaBeouf? No, no, he's like the... He's a bad guy in it,
Starting point is 00:40:56 right? Yeah. Does he die? No, I don't want to remember anything. Well, no spoilers, no spoilers.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Yeah, I don't want to remember anything, but it's very good. It's still a very good movie. John Cena is alive. All right. Aquaman? Oh, so good. I watched it five times. but it's very good. It's still a very good movie. John Cena is alive. All right. Aquaman? Oh, so good.
Starting point is 00:41:07 I watched it five times. Is that good? Because it looked like it might have been overly- Yeah, I'm afraid it would be cheesy. What, Aquaman? Yeah. Oh, I still have no idea how they did their hairs in the water, but they're not in the water.
Starting point is 00:41:19 I watched it five times just trying to figure that part out. What, so the technology behind it for you? The CGI was very good. That dude's a big, handsome dude. I like how the movement of the hair underwater is figure that part out. The technology behind it. The CGI was very good. That dude's a big, handsome dude. I like how the movement of the hair underwater is what freaked him out. I don't know how they did that. Never mind that they're breathing underwater. Very cool.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Does anyone watch Bird Box? No, not yet. Yes. It's so good. Yeah, you should. I fucking loved it. Yeah. It's the same thing as that Quiet Place movie.
Starting point is 00:41:44 It's not. It's not. It's not yeah what is the bird box so sandra bullock sandy yeah so sandy is um oceans 11 yeah oceans eight so basically and ocean she is ocean yeah malkovich basically people just wake up one day and all of a sudden there are demons roaming the earth and if you look at them, you go crazy and you want to kill yourself. Or you do kill yourself. You do. Yeah. So that's happening. That's the plague. That's happening. I'm so good at not making eye contact though.
Starting point is 00:42:13 I thought the same. I'm really good at it. I can look at them, but they won't know that I'm looking at them until they see me. I've saved all the screenshots from the movie. I'm a big meme guy with this movie. I'm going to make me, I'm a big meme guy with this movie. I'm going to make a bunch of them. Birdbox memeing.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Oh yeah, Birdbox is huge with the memes on the internet right now. Hey, there's other social media companies that are making memes. They're getting in the meme business. Who? Gary Vee. Gary Vee's getting in the meme business. He's a meme guy now. He started memes actually.
Starting point is 00:42:40 We don't know if that's true. Is it all of himself? No, no, no. I think the first couple might have been. But then it transformed into. But he did make a social announcement that they're making moves into memes. I think we need a meme maker. I'm a big meme guy.
Starting point is 00:42:57 You make memes? Oh, yeah. He's been making them. Oh, yeah. You've been making memes? Yeah, I have a folder on my desktop that just says memes on it. Why don't we- Are we in the business?
Starting point is 00:43:07 Why are we in the meme business? I feel like- It started with the Packers and McCarthy. I made a lot of different memes for that. Yeah, I was wondering what we were getting into that. Speaking of, I'm going to need some of those memes. Yeah, I'll fire a couple your way. Are you going to be a meme maker for us?
Starting point is 00:43:23 Oh, yeah. I'll be a meme guy. I'm a big meme guy. Love them. I don't think I fully fire a couple your way. Are you going to be a meme maker for us? Oh yeah, I'll be a meme guy. I'm a big meme guy. Love them. I don't think I fully know what a meme is. A meme is a gif that doesn't move. Yeah, it's just a picture with text on it. Yeah, you think about what it is. You get it.
Starting point is 00:43:37 It tells a story. We're just a small business. We're just a small business jumping in this. You're calling Packers lines. I'm a big gif guy. You are. I'm a big gif guy. We've been a small business jumping in this. You're calling Packers lines. I'm a big gift guy. You are. I'm a big gift guy. We've been a big gift company.
Starting point is 00:43:49 We're a big gift company. I think we use a lot of gifts in our company. Almost every tweet I put out is a gift. By the way, Twitter moving to the gift keyboard right there. Genius. Good idea, Twitter. It looks naked now when you put a tweet up without a gift. Correct. You're like, ah, it's not complete.
Starting point is 00:44:01 I got yelled at. I got Corey Graves came after me a little bit. Corey Graves from WWE. You got gift shamed? A couple not complete. I got yelled at. I got, Corey Graves came after me a little bit. Corey Graves from WWE. You got gift shamed? Couple of big news, by the way. WWE has formally offered me a multi-year contract. Let's go! Let's go.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Who knows what we're going to be doing over there. They just want me to come make some content, and we'll see where it goes. Maybe some memes? I wonder if we can bring a meme maker into the business. That is something to think about. I am very excited for this. This is a dream come true.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Obviously, the entire office is stacked with wrestlers in here for good reason. It's a huge part of my childhood, shaping the human I am, and I'm excited for it. Michael Cole is that dude, by the way. Also, Hunter Hearst Humsley. What a fucking guy. I'm excited to see what I do, by the way. I think I could be a weapon for the WWE. Professional athlete, also
Starting point is 00:44:48 stand-up comedian. Feel like you put those two together. We'll see how this goes. It's going to be good. Perfect fit. I got to get back in that keto though. I'm fat right now. January 1st, we're doing this diet thing if you want to join. I know, I know. I heard. Big weight loss challenge is happening. I can't wait to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:45:04 So WWE, thank you for that weight loss challenge starting January 1st. Can't wait to talk about that. Also, can't wait to talk over an NFL game that's happening this Sunday at Lambeau. That should be an absolute blast. Calling the Packers Lions in Lambeau this upcoming Sunday.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Noon Central Time, 1 o'clock Eastern Standard. Do you know who you're with? Okay, so it's me, Robert Smith, and a guy named Kutcher. I don't know him. Jesse Kutcher? No. Jason.
Starting point is 00:45:29 I do know Robert Smith. I think it's Jason or Joshua. It might be Joshua Kutcher. Nah, I'm not sure. Bobby's an Ohio State guy, so you'll have that with the AJ thing. He was also a Viking. Yeah, yes. He was a Viking.
Starting point is 00:45:42 I've done my research on him a little bit. Can't wait to chat with him. Never met him before. And also the Kutcher guy, Josh or Jason. I should probably know that. Remember the last time I did this, our conversation about it was, does anybody know what the fuck a Sean Kelly is? And he listened to the show, and then his first things to me was,
Starting point is 00:46:01 I listened to your show, and you didn't know that's on me. Sean Kelly, good guy, by the way, sent me a text congratulating me on getting it on. That's awesome. Yeah, he's a very good man. Justin. It's Justin. Yikes. Justin Kutcher.
Starting point is 00:46:13 I mean, it's right there. Jason, Joshua, you put them together. Justin there. Justin Kutcher, myself, Robert Smith. I'm very excited for it. I got meetings with the Packers on Friday. Me, Joe Philbin. Joe Philbin and I, by the way Packers on Friday. Me, Joe Philbin. Joe Philbin and I,
Starting point is 00:46:26 by the way, know each other. Very well. Very, very, very well. Go on. I know you do. I just pictured fucking Rodgers walking into this fucking pre-meeting and seeing you and being like,
Starting point is 00:46:42 and he probably is not, unless he saw the tweet, but if he didn't just walk in and be like, the fuck are you doing here? Hey, he made some big plays last week too. I can't wait to hear what I asked him. He became a baller last week. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:57 He scored like 15 points in a minute, 20 or something like that. Aaron Rogers himself, just driving that team to win yet again. And also the Detroit Lions I gotta be partial, I gotta be 50-50 I'm pulling for the Lions just as much as I'm pulling for Aaron Rodgers who's a really good friend of mine
Starting point is 00:47:12 who's been on my show Joe Philbin who was a coach of mine who got a massage next to me for 90 minutes in London, England me and him, Adam Benateri couple massage therapists 90 minutes full conversation
Starting point is 00:47:26 the entire time can't wait to talk about that I'm sure I won't bring that up did you see what came up today about Patricia late to meetings late to team meetings head coach just
Starting point is 00:47:37 by the way think I love the guy can't wait to talk to him so what's going on with these reports about you being late to team meetings like you know
Starting point is 00:47:44 when I do work with the WWE every once in a while, a meeting will get pushed because there's a creative content something happening or something like that. Is that the same thing for you? You just guys are creating stuff for answering, getting your final answers? I just kind of get lost track of time. That's what he said to me today. He said he pushed back Monday, Tuesday practice so that the media day was
Starting point is 00:48:03 kind of off, so it kind of got lost. Track! You say he likes to call it being fluid. Yeah! He's fluid. He just rolls with it. I get to go to a walkthrough. It's like I'm back in the practice facility there. Kind of see what the boys are doing. Yoga JK Scott. Can't wait to talk about him.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Yoga boy. You love yoga. Love yoga. It's going to be exciting. It's going to be exciting. I'm real excited to see what happens. Are you nervous all the owners are going to be watching you? I'm excited for you to send it to Blandino. Oh, my God. Dean Blandino.
Starting point is 00:48:33 I've sent him hilarious DMs on Twitter whenever his refs have fucked me over. Hilarious. I wish I could find him. Hold on. I might be able to find him. So this is in October of 2016. October 2nd, 2016. This is after we play in England.
Starting point is 00:48:49 We lose to the Jaguars in London, England. This is also the same weekend of Joe Philbin's and mine and Vinatieri's 90-minute massage. A lot happened. So in the game, there's always the way the K-Balls are at work. It is there are seven balls that are taken into a room. The equipment managers and an NFL official go in there. They work the balls. They decide what balls
Starting point is 00:49:12 they're going to put into the game. They only get an hour or a half hour. They only get a half hour to work these balls. Normally, balls one through four are the only balls that they work on. We'll just keep these balls in rotation all game, both sides. Whenever we kick, they kick. Same four balls. The other three balls just might as well be antique balls we'll just give them away they're not being touched okay when we're in england there was an english english nfl official in there in the room watching
Starting point is 00:49:33 and they work the balls they work uh the first four balls great they get up there oh walt oh fucking walt oh walt anderson said now I'm going with these three, the last three balls. So we were kicking brand new footballs in the middle of the game strictly because Walt said, eh, I'm going to use these balls instead to the English official that was there. Wow. So this doesn't affect literally anybody in all of England.
Starting point is 00:49:58 All of England. This doesn't affect anybody in all of England except for me, Vinatieri, and the Jaguars, punters, and kickers there's only four of us that walt is deliberately fucking us on purpose okay that's where my hatred for him began right i didn't have a problem with walt old ass man doing his thing you do what you gotta do well i had no problem until he deliberately fucked us over so our equipment manager has to hear it from me and vinatieri and the other teams kickers and punters because uh that equipment manager he went in there 30
Starting point is 00:50:28 minutes by the way they break a sweat in there they're only allowed to use a brush in like that's it just a brush in the nfl official watch them it's like a it's like a minute to win it type thing like they set a clock like you have 30 minutes begin they come out sweating they get like i i buy them nice christmas gifts for going in there breaking in the balls new ball old ball like seven yards difference by the way if you break in a ball they used to be able to put them in the fucking drying machine they used to be yeah drying dryer yikes it is a driving machine but it all changed whenever um Mitch Berger, I think his name. Yeah, that's the name. Mitch Berger was a punter, right?
Starting point is 00:51:08 So I guess Mitch Berger was beating up these balls so bad they were starting to look like rugby balls. And somehow the ball got into the game and Brett Favre threw an interception with it. So Brett Favre bitched about the ball being too beat up. All of a sudden there was this whole, just like there is now, this whole overreaction to the K-Balls. Every ball had to be brand new.
Starting point is 00:51:30 So there was a year in the NFL where kickers were kicking balls that were just brand new, only K-Balls. It became a big deal. It became a big ordeal. The K-Ball, the K-Ball, the K-Ball became a real thing. So these brand new balls, it went straight from the box to opening kickoff. Just a terrible year for those kickers. And punters punters by the way i don't know how their records were but those guys they had a terrible year so then it slowly evolved into this time limit you get 30
Starting point is 00:51:53 minutes to break it in before the day of the game must come out of the box blah blah blah right so this is a whole ordeal because it is it matters like if vinatieri has to kick a 50 yarder to win it and a the brand new ball could definitely fuck him over, right? So it's a big ordeal. Then during the game, during the game, it's an extra point, 33-yard extra point, and I gave a we want on two. I had a good cadence. I had a lot of confidence in my cadence.
Starting point is 00:52:20 I had a good bellow. I had a good one. If I was ever to get in and play quarterback, I think I could have drew some people off. I respected it. I don't get a lot of time to fuck with anybody in my position. I'm just standing there punting. I can kick to the other side.
Starting point is 00:52:33 But the ability to draw somebody off sides, I took a lot of pride in. Numerous, by the way. If you look me up, look up my film. I think I have four to five offside draws on people. Not bad. Yeah. Not bad.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Okay, so Walt, they made this big rule where you weren't allowed to move your head forward and you weren't allowed to move your hand forward. So literally, I was going through film with my special teams coach, Tom McMahon, and then we were asking refs if what I was doing was allowed. By the way, eight yards behind the line of scrimmage. It's almost impossible. So we go for this extra point. refs if what i was doing was allowed by the way eight yards behind the line of scrimmage it's it's almost impossible so we go for this extra point it's in this london england game i'm already pissed off at walt anderson for what he's done to the balls i don't like it so i get down we go on two
Starting point is 00:53:16 because they had a good edge rusher and i see this dude literally just like he's he's the nose tackle he is up on his hands right like you know and remember the titans were like if it's red knuckle yeah yeah like i felt like i could see this guy like leaning forward i'm like oh this guy's ready to go right now so i was like all right let's go let's go let's go so we line up and i gave him a nice hard sir and he just falls like right into overton right i'm like bang let's go for two i just moved that thing up to the one yard line, basically up there. Let's go for two. Let's steal a point here.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Good for me. Good for me, right? So Overton is a little nosy. He's in the ref circle because it's like right behind him. And the side ref or whatever the fuck it is, he's like, ah, nose tackle there. Leaned in, hit the guy or whatever. And Walt goes, nope, I'm going to call it on number one.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Actually says, nope, I'm going to call it on number one. Turns around, says that I deliberately drew them off sides five yard penalty number one backs so now vinnies kicking like a 40 yard fucking extra point with bad balls because of fucking walt anderson so i hate this guy right so i i'm fuming at this point obviously everybody's heard the story where i took like 13 edibles to get on the plane back home because I thought more, hey, it was a bad spot. Everybody's heard this. So then, a day later, two days later,
Starting point is 00:54:30 I go to Dean Blandino. I saw he followed me on Twitter and I'd never reached out to him before. But I couldn't fucking do this. Walt Anderson guy. Couldn't take it. Vinny misses that extra point, by the way.
Starting point is 00:54:40 I'm a terrible person right now. You know what I mean? It's not on you, though. Could just snap it on fucking one. Yeah, could have. Just be a fucking, just snap it on one. Don't be a fucking extra now. You know what I mean? It's not on you, though. Could just snap it on fucking one. Yeah, could have. Just snap it on one. Don't be a fucking extra prick. You know?
Starting point is 00:54:48 Yeah. Trying to steal a point. I was. Hey, let's go. Made a point. It's the difference between winning and losing. Same game, Blake Bortles scores a touchdown. Punts, by the way.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Punts it in the stands. It's his profile picture right now against us that same weekend. A lot of things happened that weekend. So I go, hey, boss man. Any way we can chat about the k-ball rules and such would like to clarify some stuff as well as maybe help out he goes absolutely give me a call this week when you have time oh all right here we go so i asked him a day later you open you said yeah give me a call afterwards i responded with appreciate you brother that was a
Starting point is 00:55:23 great conversation he goes no problem man don't hesitate to reach out if other things come up i go is that right he goes yes i go i'll keep that in mind and that's how the conversation ends with dean blandino good guy then yeah i wanted to call though and he said well that's just a part of the ref exercising the process of the cable i am sorry i will relay the message i said i already told him dean dean i already told him dean i already told him it was a so i can't wait send it to dean joe philbin's gonna be there i'm excited for him this is like a little party i i honestly don't know how this is gonna go the guy The guy from Fox said, Robert Smith's more of a straight man. He'll be a little bit more serious.
Starting point is 00:56:09 I was like, all right. Well, I know what my role is. The thing about AJ is, like I feel like. He's a good setup man. Yeah, but I can like take shots at AJ. You know, I can take like shots at AJ. Not real shots, but subtle. I don't know how Robert's going to do if I'm just taking shots at Robert.
Starting point is 00:56:24 I don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, it's different because you and AJ are boys. That's what I'm saying. But if I'm going to be a professional broadcaster, these are things I'm going to have to adapt to. Correct. If I'm going to want to grow in this business. Hey, if he's a professional broadcaster,
Starting point is 00:56:35 you should be able to handle a shot or two. You're all professionals. But I'm not going to take him a shot. No, no, we're kind. Kind shots. These aren't mom jokes. I assume he's going to listen to this. I want him to know that I have nothing but respect for him.
Starting point is 00:56:47 But when actual football stuff comes up and I don't know what's going on, I'm definitely going to ask you. I'm definitely. And I would like a good answer. AJ, I enjoyed that with AJ. AJ, this is normal. In the middle of football. I saw the other crew that I thought I was hoping hoping it was going to be, was Stink.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Oh, my God. You put me in there with Mark Schlaer. That would have been a great time. Because he's an NFL Fox. I didn't even think of him. He's got Tampa Bay and someone else down south. I think I'm going to like this Robert Smith guy. I've been reading up on him.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Minnesota Viking. Yeah, he played with Randy and when Chris Carter was there. Oh, yeah. Was he there for the boat? I don't know. I'm sure he up on him. Minnesota Viking? Yeah, he played with Randy and when Chris Carter was there. Oh, yeah. Was he there for the boat? I don't know. I'm sure he knows some things. I won't bring it up. It's coming up.
Starting point is 00:57:36 This could be a good game, right? Lions-Packers big-time rivalry. Yeah, yeah. Well, it doesn't mean anything, but it could be a good game. Not really a rivalry, huh? Not really. What, have you guys won the last 11 or something like that? No, I mean, the Lions beat them earlier this year. Oh, yeah, that was when Mason Crosby missed all those kicks.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Yeah, missed like eight field goals. But, I mean, in the last 10 years, the Packers have routinely beat the piss out of them. I wish Foxy was here a little bit so we could get a little Lions talk. Because I feel like the pulse of the fan bases are right here. I feel like Ty is very much the pulse of the Green Bay Packers. I honestly wasn't even going to watch the game until I saw that you were calling it. A lot of those tweets.
Starting point is 00:58:12 A lot of tweets about, had no hope in the Lions, still don't, but will watch. Thank you. It means a lot. I'll be excited to see how it goes, man. The press release got put out yesterday, I guess. I got an email from Fox. It was like, your name's in the press release. It's a lot. I'll be excited to see how it goes, man. The press release got put out yesterday, I guess. I got an email from Fox. It was like, your name's in the press release. It's all happening.
Starting point is 00:58:30 And I was like, that's hilarious. So they listened to me on Schefter's podcast. Fox listened to me on Schefter's podcast. Oh, really? Yeah. So on Schefter's pod, Schefter asked me, what do I see myself doing? I was like, I have no idea. That's been the issue with this whole thing is I have no clue.
Starting point is 00:58:48 There's no one person for us to emulate. And by us, I truly mean it because I feel like our show is really good. I feel like our football knowledge is really good. But I would like to call games as well, which it's just there's a lot of things I want to do. And on Schefter, I was like, I think I could be a good third man in the booth. You know, like even on a Monday Night Football booth. Like I think if you put me in there, I think we could really make a show out of that thing. Will I add football insight?
Starting point is 00:59:13 I'd assume. I'd assume I would. But I think I could make that. I have a different attitude towards it. I think it should be a show more so than a – I think they've started to make it too serious. It's entertainment still. That's what I'm saying. And this is just strictly from me watching so much football for the last year and a half. I hadn't
Starting point is 00:59:30 watched football for so long. Just like A.Q. Shipley said, just like Joe Thomas said, just like everybody said, you don't really watch football whenever you're playing in the NFL because that's your job to watch football. So now that I'm watching it on a routine basis, I'm like, oh man, I feel like there's something that we can do to make this a little bit more
Starting point is 00:59:45 enjoyable. I feel like that's something we can do. I have to, though. I mean, I have to make sure that I have to be impartial. I have to be impartial. You know what I mean? I have to remain impartial.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Which was easy for Baylor and Texas Tech. You were totally impartial. But I like Sam remain impartial. I have to. Which was easy for Baylor and Texas Tech. Because you were totally impartial. But I like Sam Martin a lot. The punter for the Lions. If he hits a bad ball, I'm like, yeah. There's going to be some emotion. There's nothing wrong with that.
Starting point is 01:00:19 When Gruden was calling games, he fucking loved Aaron Rodgers. That shit happens. Or Brett Favre with Madden. You're allowed to have favorites. I think I like Matthew Stafford, too. The old gunslinger. They've been running the rock, by the way, though. LeGarrette Blount has been the pulse of that team. When he gets going, they get going.
Starting point is 01:00:34 I just read some quotes from other people. Know that their stud rookie running back, Karyon Johnson, got hurt for the year. That crushed them. Crushed them. Crushed their offense. That's what I've been saying. That's what we've been saying this whole time, Diggs for the year. That crushed them. That crushed them. Crushed their offense. That's what I've been saying.
Starting point is 01:00:47 That's what we've been saying this whole time, Diggs. Isn't that what we've been saying? Yep. That and Golden Tate gone around the same time. What do you want him to do? What do you want Matt Patricia to do? Can't even show up to the fucking meeting on time. Now you're going to get rid of his best wide receiver.
Starting point is 01:01:00 What do you want him to do? Yep. I think I am. I think you're good. I think it's going to be an enjoyable watch. And in Lambeau? That's awesome. Cold up there, I guess, boys. I guess it's a wide open booth up there,
Starting point is 01:01:13 and I guess it gets a little bit swirly. Oh, there's no window? No, no, no. We're just sitting in that Lambeau frozen tundra. You think there's a good bathroom up there? That's what I'm wondering. Because the Cowboys Stadium, you see, I guess Troy Aikman helped design that thing. So there's a toilet in there.
Starting point is 01:01:30 There's a little buffet area in there. There's everything in there. And everybody tells me, like, this is the best of the best here. Lambeau, old, old stadium. Yeah, I have a feeling it's going to be the opposite. It's going to be 35. I'm looking forward to this more than the booth review after the game. You critiquing this booth compared to the last one.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Tell you what, that Cowboys booth, from what I've been told, is going to be tough to beat. I'll talk to a few people, see if we can't wheel you out of Port-A-John up there. I mean, you are an owner. Yeah, exactly. I talked to Michael Cole. Yeah. Their WrestleMania shows are seven hours long.
Starting point is 01:02:06 That's absurd. He doesn't get out to pee once. Really? So I was putting the heat on him one day that he pisses his pants. I put heat on him. It's only logical. Like he wears a Depends or something. I say, you pee your pants.
Starting point is 01:02:16 You have to. And he goes, no, I'm a professional, Pat. I don't drink as much water or liquids before the long shows. I control my bladder. And I was like, holy shit. That's something I should probably start thinking about he was like yes it's something oh because this was back whenever we were doing the serious show or we're waiting for the nxt takeover thing and i had to pee like in the middle of stuff like i gotta go pee i gotta go pee he was like oh you'd
Starting point is 01:02:38 be a professional and just manage your liquids i was like oh i didn't even think about that so i think i'm gonna think about that managing So I think I'm going to think about that. Managing liquids. Managing my liquid on Sunday. Good idea. Although I am on a complete fast right now. That's good. What do you mean? So you're preparing for the New Year diet by fasting? No, I just need to not look fat in that booth on Sunday.
Starting point is 01:02:57 So I am on a 72-hour fast right now. Oh, okay. Just strictly water only. I'm drinking water only. You're going to die. No. So I guess I saw a guy on the internet did this. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:11 He was No Way Jose from WWE. Okay. Yeah. He lost like 24 pounds or something in 48 hours. Really? 72 pounds. Something to think about. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:20 There's a dude named No Way Jose. And they go, No Way, Jose. No Way, Jose. No Way, Jose. Anyways, it's a take on the Rosebuds, which was Adam Rose. They're a bunch of partiers. He leads the way. There's a conga line.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Then he wrestles against nobody, wins, and then they conga line out. It's just like a little piss break for those that can't manage their leg. That's what it is anyways he's kind of fallen off from tv he's been on he's been on okay the reaction i don't think was great to it whatever he did a 72 hour water based diet okay he started off at 255 pounds and is now down to 237 pounds the diet was inspired by riddick moss who did the water fast diet in five days and dropped a significant amount of weight it's going to be interesting if he keeps dropping weight or what wwe may do with his character never nonetheless
Starting point is 01:04:15 255 to 237 well three days that's insane it's insane but you're not eating for three days Well I mean I think I've committed to a 48 hour one Two days Let's not get crazy Man I fucking cleaned up Sam went to work for Christmas And I mean
Starting point is 01:04:41 She went to work There was 400 cookies There was 400 cookies. Jesus. There was 400 cookies in my house of all different varieties, some with weed in them, some with none. Some peanut butter cookies with a little Hershey kiss on top. Oh, the best. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Some chocolate chip, some caramel chocolate chip, some sugar cookies. Man, there was baked bacon. What? Baked bacon. Wow. You get a good even cook. Yeah. Don't get any fatty pieces.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Oh, yeah. It just vanishes in your mouth. Yeah. I thought, I don't think I fully remembered Christmas being that good of an eating holiday. It's fucking, there was an apple pie out there. It is at our house, too. Big eating holiday Oh my
Starting point is 01:05:26 More than Thanksgiving Probably to be honest I honestly I think it's comparable The amount of food I was just shoveling down My gullet Was next level
Starting point is 01:05:34 Coach Diggs was cooking up Filets I saw Yeah three huge filets I seen Tim do that Oh yeah yeah Hearing in Oh yeah Hearing in
Starting point is 01:05:42 Dress shirt Yeah dress shirt White Dago shoes. Santa hat. I love them. I told my mom specifically, she's like, what do you want to eat? And I said, all I want is chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. That's all I need right there.
Starting point is 01:05:57 That's all you got to cook. Did you get it? It's simple. Got that, but then she felt bad that there was no turkey or anything. So she went and bought a turkey log that was already seasoned and everything. You just heat it up for like 10 minutes in the oven. And I tasted it, and I'm like, it's not good. It's like rubbery.
Starting point is 01:06:14 It's like a canned meat or whatever. Everybody else got sick. Bailey shit his ass off the entire night. Marty was sick. I was like, well, I didn't eat it. It looked funny, tastes funny, I didn't eat it. It looked funny, tastes funny, I don't eat it.
Starting point is 01:06:28 I enjoy the food, though. So now you're just water for two straight days. I have to, man. There came a moment where I was like if I ate that turkey log. I was just shitting my brains out.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Maybe you should eat the turkey log. No, I was. I was. I already was. I mean, I was shitting. It just got to the point where my body was like,
Starting point is 01:06:44 yo, yo, yo. I might have had a hundred cookies. I might have had i know i was i was i already was i mean i was it just got to the point where my body was like yo yo yo i might have had 100 cookies i might have had one nice when i say that i mean it it's a 72 hour period i might have had 100 cookies i know how you feel i know you feel and then the little miniature wiener hot dogs oh are you kidding you're not for us. They're the best. We made it. I personally made 104 of those. Oh, yeah. Personally rolled 104 of those. Wow. 52 a bag, two bags.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Yep. That's the way to go. Put it in there. I ate probably 75 of these. I mean, I... The office isn't in good shape right now. Man, I'm in a bad spot. I was in a good spot there, too.
Starting point is 01:07:23 I was doing that keto for a few months. I was really into ketosis, which dr oz had a replay show yesterday that was talking about all the benefits of ketosis okay guy was 60 some years old said he'd been doing ketosis for 20 years really that made me feel good about my heart yeah made me feel like i could probably go around yeah he's not worried about it i'm not worried about it i'll worry about it that guy that looks really fucking good at that old age is on TV on Dr. Oz who I hate. You weren't even planning on going that long anyways. No, but maybe I do.
Starting point is 01:07:51 I guess I can. I don't hate Dr. Oz. His show is just terrible. He says like keto is when your body gets the ketosis by not eating carbs and his whole crowd just starts clapping. The timing of the clapping. They have to sign whole crowd just starts clapping. The timing of the clapping. They had to sign up.
Starting point is 01:08:06 That's why. The timing of the clapping is next level. The clap guy. The card clap guy. He's wrong. He's wrong. It's all wrong. So I guess I shouldn't hold it against Dr. Oz.
Starting point is 01:08:15 I guess I shouldn't hold it against him. He'll say a joke, though. It's his show. And they'll clap. It's like, no, no, no. Wrong card. Laugh. They're all getting confused.
Starting point is 01:08:29 Applause left. Today was the first time i watched yesterday was first time i watched the show we had it on sam had it on and i guess she's not the biggest fan but she's an nbc fan yeah so it was on uh right after dr phil or before dr i think it was before dr phil dr phil had a real one but we can't get into that but the keto diet i guess is gonna help me sir i guess it's tim mcafee's plan for we can't get into that. But the keto diet, I guess, is going to help me. I guess it's Tim McAfee's plan for the month weight loss is to do the keto diet. That's what I did last time. It seems to be so good. It seems to be so good.
Starting point is 01:08:54 More energy. Correct. They said it scientifically gives you more energy. What's that called whenever your shit's swollen? Anti-inflammatory. It's like anti-inflammatory as well. I like your actual shit, like poop. Oh.
Starting point is 01:09:11 No, it's hard to shit. I was like, what? It's a little bit harder to shit. Hey, you dive in that turkey log. You dive in that turkey log because keto is not a good pooping thing. It's not. But Tim McAfee for the foundation, I think he's going to do keto. And I think he realized the other night it's going to be tough for him to win.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Because the amount of weight I think he's going to have to lose. Because we're doing body weight percentage loss. He says he doesn't know if he can get there. Zito, your guy Foxy isn't here. He's probably back in Michigan. How does Team Zito feel? I ate so much food this week. Fruit?
Starting point is 01:09:43 No, food in general. I ate every single, like, G and Jude's, Jared Donald's, Portolo's. I ate everything possible. And I feel, I almost had a heart attack. You can feel, I can feel my heart getting tighter. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My sister was worried. It's not good.
Starting point is 01:10:00 My sister was getting her baby. She's pregnant. She's getting her baby, like, the heart rate thing. I put it on, and the doctor was like, that doesn't sound good. Hey, how many heart attacks have you had? Make sure Baker does it. Make sure Baker does it, Bob. But yeah, the heart is good, though.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Team Zito feels good, though. Yeah. You feel like you've put in the work to go into January and win this 9,999. Yes. I cannot wait. This thing's quite a heavy hitter. It's true. I can see that.
Starting point is 01:10:32 It's true. This thing gets me. Did you figure out how to charge it? No, I don't think. I just threw the other one away. Is that what you're supposed to do? I think that's what you're supposed to do. Anyways, you're planning on losing like 16, 17% of your weight.
Starting point is 01:10:44 Yeah, I'm going to go for 62 pounds. Well, that's not bad. Fuck. Okay. Come on. You're going to go for it. I'm going for the WWE championship. Since I just signed a multi-year deal with them, I am going for the WWE.
Starting point is 01:10:58 Okay, that's what we're going for. What will we settle on? United States championship is mine. All right, 52 pounds. For real. You're settling on 50 pounds. You'll settle on 50 pounds loss. Yeah. 45 pounds loss. You'll settle on 45 pounds
Starting point is 01:11:09 loss. In 30 days. 48. Probably 42 pounds. Let's go 47. Okay, so you're at 47 pounds. And you lost how many last time? 33, I believe. Okay. Jesus. Without working out. Yeah. Yeah, but working out, you said, would add weight because muscle. If you do it right.
Starting point is 01:11:26 Oh, have you been looking into this? Oh, I've been looking into it. He's got a guy. What are you going to do with that $9,999 if you win? Oh, new bar for the pub. Okay, so it's going right back to the pub. It's going right back to the pub. Smart investment.
Starting point is 01:11:38 I'm going to invest in some gold, I think. You're going to buy those fucking mint coins that are fucking rare. Rare collectible coins. If I buy 100 of these, I'll be having so much gold. You'll be rich forever, you're saying. So you're investing in your future. I'll go to the Carl thing and do the CD. Atta boy.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Well, if you put 10% back on your money, you'll be at like 47 million in like two years. That fucking guy. He deserved to get crushed for what he was doing. 100%. By the way. 100%. Because he only did that for the cameras. Yes. If I do win though, I'm going to reach out for him to give me like a financial class. For us to film? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:20 Tell him you'll pay him. Pay you 10% of whatever we make on the back side for however many views. In gold. In gold. What are you thinking? Coins? You get a big chain?
Starting point is 01:12:32 I think so. Bricks? Oh, yeah. No, I'm a coin guy. Okay. I feel like you should get a coin and put it on a necklace. Yeah, so it's the best part of the world there. And if you lose, I got a couple chocolate ones I can give you.
Starting point is 01:12:43 I've had this fucking jeweler showing up in my goddamn Instagram DMs. Oh, yeah? I don't want to get it right because I don't want to give him free pub. He's a hustler, this guy. You have a gold guy? No, man, he's been showing up. I want to let you know, for the next four hours, this deal good. In the DMs, in the requested DMs.
Starting point is 01:13:04 So you don't see him so he does he's done this 14 15 times so i see them all in there and i have not responded yet but i've seen all of his offer only good next 27 minutes in the requested dms he saw when you were chaining cuz he's trying to strike while the iron's hot oh i did see his photos though he's got this rolex it seems to be really nice. Maybe hit him up. Nah, it's too much. Even though I am Italian now.
Starting point is 01:13:30 Yeah, you are. Diggs, what are you going to do with your winnings if you win? How much are you going to try to lose? What's the goal? Goal, 38. 38 pounds? Do you happy with 33? I'm realistic.
Starting point is 01:13:42 Still 25? I would like to get to 40. We'll do a 40 fallback on 35. I'll be happy with that. Your advisor. Corey. You have a manager and an advisor. Manager, Nick Morado.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Advisor, Corey Gregory Fitness. CoreyGFitness.com. So how has this been going with Corey Gregory? Because I was a part of one conversation. They ended it early because I was there. Yeah, according to what you let out. Because I was a part of one conversation. They ended it early because I was there. Yeah, couldn't we get them that out? Because I was listening. So they cut the conversation because I was listening.
Starting point is 01:14:11 And it seemed as if there was some real strategery going on on the dig side of it. He has me on a diet plan the two days before the diet, before we weigh in. Oh, my God. Zito, are you thinking about this? So I know exactly what to eat before. The diet before the diet, Zito.
Starting point is 01:14:25 It's like cleaning before the cleaning. And then he sent me the workout plan slash eating plan for the 30 days. We're going to go over it every seven days to see how my body's reacting. Of course. Of course. Maybe get some blood drawn. Sent me the workout. Sent me the workout.
Starting point is 01:14:41 And then this weekend, I opened up for christmas a uh a membership to title boxing you ever heard of that yeah oh yeah so i'll be good i'll be there every morning hitting a bag title i've heard it's terrible yeah so you're gonna go for the i'm gonna work harder than everybody else correct yeah yeah because cory i think just like steve weatherford cory gregory same motherfucking guy that's like listen it's an easy process you just gotta put the work in and then you watch their social medias it's like yo I can't put that work in he's up at 4am every goddamn day
Starting point is 01:15:12 he's been lunging for the last 80 days straight he told me he's like you're gonna be lunging 15 minutes at a time I'm like I don't think I can lunge 15 seconds he's been doing it for 80 days straight oh we're gonna get you to lunge that's where I'm here he told me. Well, as I learned last time, you can't go head-to-head at Zito just on diet.
Starting point is 01:15:31 Can't. You can't because he loses weight faster than you do. I might do a 720-hour water fast. You'll die. I think Zito could manage. I think Zito. Moses did it. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:15:43 Rip Rogers, whenever he was in here, he talked about- Chicken broth. He went on like a 40-day fast, he said, just to do it. Him and Randy. I'm excited, though. My body feels terrible. This can't come fast enough. I have never been more excited to fucking lose weight.
Starting point is 01:16:01 That's good. You're getting it all out of you. It's like whenever I went on that lockout bender. Yeah. Get it all out of you. It's like whenever I went on that lockout bender. Get it all out of you. It's tough to even look at food right now. I will say too though, literally I have never felt overweight until I filmed that video and I was just breathing hard over it.
Starting point is 01:16:15 You ruined the Grinch video. You ruined the Grinch video. But you also got good clips. It's a Z though. It's like, yeah, got it done. I'm going to release that video and just keep watching it over and over, I think. I was worried about you, man. I'm worried about you now.
Starting point is 01:16:33 I'm very excited for January to start for you to get out of there. And to preface that video, I ran half around the block, or what do you call that, the circle? In Indianapolis. Probably 20 feet. It was probably like 75, 80 yards, I'd assume. Probably 75, 80 yards. You were a good little clip, but you did almost die.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Todd, you're the oldest of the bunch. No, my dad, I guess, is. Yeah. But in a group in here, what is your plan? This is your first time competing. It is. I got to get to 220 is what I've been saying all along because I need that extra weight to lose to even have a shot with these guys. By the way, a lot of people are saying don't put on more weight.
Starting point is 01:17:11 It doesn't make sense if you're doing percentage wrong. Right. They're wrong. They're totally wrong. You guys are totally wrong. You fitness gurus, wrong. Yeah, we did the math. It behooves me to get as heavy as possible.
Starting point is 01:17:20 to get as heavy as pop. So if I can get to 220, then I figure I'm probably max, I got 35 pounds. It gets me down to 185. That's pretty thin for me. I shouldn't go much lower than that. I'm realistically 30.
Starting point is 01:17:40 What's going to happen though, if I go and come in at 210, then I'm going to have to get in that zone where I'm just going to have to get kind of sick skinny if I have to uh so where are you at right now uh i think i'm at about 216 okay so we got him we got to gain four pounds in just a week or so i think you could do that just drink like a fish on new year's yeah we're way on the day after new year's eve so i think now i might be wrong here but i I feel like alcohol is going to make the way less. It does.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Yeah. It's like IPAs. IPAs. If you drink IPAs, you probably get cereal. I've been drinking. I've been getting heavier beer when I go, but it's like Pat said, like, I don't want to get drunk, though, because I'm afraid I'll get hung over. I'll dehydrate.
Starting point is 01:18:20 Yeah, you'll piss. So I'll drink like three or four, and I'm bloated because they're heavier beers and I'm just done. Everybody's going to be coming in and they're weighing in at 10 a.m. and just like fucking four IPAs deep.
Starting point is 01:18:34 Yeah, we're at 228. Who do you want? I'm excited. Let's just fucking go. I almost think being hungry for a month is going to feel better than being full for a month. Like I've been full this entire month.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Yes, a thousand percent. But I love food, you know. Oh, me too. I love food. And you told me you don't enjoy the feeling of being full. I don't. It's my worst. It's my least favorite thing in the world.
Starting point is 01:18:57 I love being stuffed. I wish I had that. I don't mind. Like I shit my brains out, right? Yeah. But like getting to it, I guess I don't like it at all. If out right and I but like getting to it I don't mind I guess I don't like it
Starting point is 01:19:07 at all either if it's on the plate I'm eating it yes man like Marnie doesn't eat all day at work so when she leaves
Starting point is 01:19:13 she's starving so if we're leaving somewhere about the same time and we're driving home she's like she's all excited she's like I'm fucking starving
Starting point is 01:19:20 can we go out to eat and I'll just answer with yeah well I gotta eat I'm not hungry at all I'm not excited about it fucking starving. Can we go out to eat? I'll just answer with, yeah, well, I gotta eat. I'm not hungry at all. I'm not excited about it, but yeah, I do need to keep putting food in my body.
Starting point is 01:19:34 Funny you ask. I'm about four pounds. So what games matter this weekend? I'll roll through these real quick. Nick, how was your Christmas? Good. It was good, man. It was pretty good.
Starting point is 01:19:48 Nothing crazy. You know, the average family, Italian bullshit, Pittsburgh Christmas. Good times. That sounds great. Happy Jesus is born for that. Happy Jesus is born for that. You were downtown Pittsburgh in the middle of it, in the heart of it. If the Steelers come back and win that game,
Starting point is 01:20:05 we would have had reaction video on top of reaction video because Nick was down in the meat of it. Turns out, complete opposite happened. Everybody wanted to burn the place down. It was just such a letdown. It was like the fumble happened, and then everyone looked up, and then it was out, and they made the call, and everyone just kind of walked away.
Starting point is 01:20:21 It was like half the people just walked right out of the bar. No one said a word. There wasn't like – No Christmas. Yeah, it was the bar. No one said a word. There wasn't like... No Christmas! Yeah, it was just over. No fucking Christmas! You see what you did. Just ordered more shots
Starting point is 01:20:33 and kept going. Boswell is making that kick. Bos is back, though. This week, Bos is back. We got the good Bos. No one was more relieved about that fumble than him. Digs.
Starting point is 01:20:44 Take it easy on the guy. All right. Games of Madness week. Lions-Packers. Ain't nobody care. Ain't nobody care. Deion Sanders found out that that was a gem of a clip. He's been doing it every week on his Instagram.
Starting point is 01:20:58 You should check it out. It's fucking awesome. The NFL Network built him a little cave. That's awesome. He has his own little cave where he has a bed, and he has eight TVs with every game up on it, just watching it all day. And then he has his game day prime show at the end of the night.
Starting point is 01:21:12 I think he's on like a 14-hour shift on every Sunday in his little cave. It's awesome. I'm a big D on Sanders. Ain't nobody care. Ain't nobody care. So New England is playing the Jets. If they win, they get two seed. New England, by the way, are they going to be able to run the ball for the rest of the season?
Starting point is 01:21:30 That's what they did. They ran right down to Buffalo Bill's throats. I watched that game. It was insane. A little bit scary that Tom Brady and Bronk are fucking hurt. Bronk. Bronk. Bronk.
Starting point is 01:21:44 Let me get that Bronk. Hi, my name's Bronk. I'm big and I'm awesome. These tight punts. A little scary that both of them were hurt and they managed to still play so well just by fucking all of a sudden, oh, here, here's our running game. Yeah. Such a good backdoor cover for 13 and a half, by the way.
Starting point is 01:21:58 Such a good one. Such a good cover by the Bills there. Are they going to be able to just run down everybody's throat for the rest of the time? We'll find out, I guess. That's what the Patriots do. I don't think so either. The dynasty's over. Houston plays the Jags.
Starting point is 01:22:11 Houston has to win to keep the three seed. Tom Brady has what? Torn what? ACL, supposedly. ACL? Yeah, I'm not buying that. He's playing with a torn ACL? Maybe MCL.
Starting point is 01:22:21 I think MCL is what people were thinking. He's probably got a sprained MCL. It actually hurts more. By the way, I was told not to speculate on injuries when I'm calling a game. It's dangerous. Dangerous game. I did that last time with a guy with a stinger. Got an O-Def for it.
Starting point is 01:22:35 He had a stinger. Felt real good about it. Then I saw a video of another guy. Today? Yeah, that video. Minnesota today said stinger. Yeah, so that guy could have a broken neck. And then forever and eternity on that clip.
Starting point is 01:22:51 Looks like a Stinger should get up. Put some dirt on it. Soft down there. Put a little Band-Aid on there. Chargers have to play at Denver just in case KC loses to Oakland because they could still take over KC. How about Marshawn Lynch? Bro, lighten up the goddamn joint.
Starting point is 01:23:11 Cone? Was it a cone? It looked like it was a cone. Where? I didn't see it. Off of the Al Davis Memorial. Memorial flame. He couldn't reach.
Starting point is 01:23:19 He was trying his best, though. That's fucking hysterical. Couldn't reach, though. He was trying to give the OG a little salute there. Thanks for lighting up, guys. Minnesota plays the Bears. The Bears really have nothing to play for, so Minnesota wins. They're in.
Starting point is 01:23:32 What about the Bears? They're out. No, they have the – They won the division. Yeah, they won the division. They can't go any higher. Okay. They said they're playing their starters, though, right?
Starting point is 01:23:39 Yeah, that's what Nagy said. Club dub, bro. They don't want to stop that. Nagy said if they're going to look at the score over in the other games, if it's a blowout, then they're going to take out their starters. Okay, perfect. So Minnesota has to win. Chicago doesn't.
Starting point is 01:23:52 Yeah, if Minnesota wins, they're in. If Philly is playing at Washington, if Philly wins and Minnesota loses, then Philly's in. Okay, Philly. St. Nick. Look at Cousy's back in the game. Good for him. Good for him, by the way. I know. Good for old Nick. That was a wild game on St. Nick. Look at Cuzzy's back in the game. Good for him. Good for him, by the way.
Starting point is 01:24:05 I know. Good for old Nick. That was a wild game one Sunday. Yeah. Texans-Philly. Yeah. Huge game. Cleveland at Baltimore.
Starting point is 01:24:14 Cleveland beats Baltimore. Steelers beat Cincy. Steelers are in. Baltimore beats Cleveland. Baltimore's in. So Baltimore wins. They're in no matter what happens with the Steelers. Yes.
Starting point is 01:24:23 Lamar Jackson. First time playing. AFC North champs. Mm-hmm. It's got to feel pretty good. That's going to be the game to watch. People are telling them. Yeah. Lions-Packers. That's the game to listen to.
Starting point is 01:24:41 Yeah, I'll DVR it, and then I'll watch it after you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. The game that got flexed to Sunday night, Colts-Titans. If Baltimore wins, the winner of Colts and Titans is in. Yeah. Okay, so, no, they're in. Winner of Colts-Titans is in, right? Yeah, no matter what.
Starting point is 01:24:58 There's no way. Oh, yeah, yeah, you're right, because of Ravens. Yeah, because that's why it was flexed into Sunday night football. You're right, my bad. By the way, I tried to bait the Titans a little bit. I saw that. Classic tweet. Mariotta's not going to play.
Starting point is 01:25:10 Hey, good luck on Sunday. Not, I said. And then I put the who got him, the savage gif afterwards. People were like, did you respond to yourself? I was like, no, that was a part of it. That was a part of the whole thing. The whole thing had to happen there for that to be a thing. I felt good.
Starting point is 01:25:30 They didn't respond. I thought I would get a little juice from that. That'll be on the bulletin board. Maybe they're nervous. Taylor LeJuan. Oh, dude, going after Josh Norman. Well, I love that, by the way. Love that move. Josh Norman, I also respect him going at him, by the way.
Starting point is 01:25:45 Can't just sit there and take it. He's looking right in his chest. Then there's people on the internet that were saying, obviously, Taylor would kill him if he wanted to. And then you got people in here like, oh, you think just because he's big he can fight? No, no, I think because he's an offensive lineman in the NFL, he could probably fight.
Starting point is 01:26:02 I would assume that's why. That's all he does literally the entire time. But Josh Norman, I think a lot of respect to him too by the way. You have to get up there and do that. Yeah, Taylor Lehmann obviously sparked that. Because Josh Norman was just sitting on the bench and he comes up and does his fucking move too. But I respect the fact that Taylor Lehmann did that
Starting point is 01:26:18 and I respect the fact that I think that was a win-win for both sides there, personally. I think Taylor Lehmann wins in fight if it needs to happen, but I think it was a win-win. both sides there personally i think taylor leone wins in fight if needs to happen but i think it was a win-win but he tweeted me a guy a video of them walker mcguire boys them country music guys walker and mcguire by the way that should be their name if they're listening to this show right now your name should be walker and mcguire not walker mcguire everybody thinks it's one person right oh that oh i thought one person. See, they want to play at the pub.
Starting point is 01:26:46 This place, this band that... You would have set up one stool. Two guys would have showed up. Need two stools. One mic. That would have been awkward. The pub would never want to treat somebody with that type of disrespect. Just put the end.
Starting point is 01:26:59 That's why I think there should be Walker and McGuire. Brooks and Dunn. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Montgomery and Gentry. You McGuire. Brooks and Dunn. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Montgomery and Gentry. You get it. Big and rich. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:10 Oh, that's a good one. I was digging through there. I was digging through the Rolodex. Hootie and the Blowfish. Yeah. Walker and McGuire. It's the only way to do it. It's the only way to do it.
Starting point is 01:27:21 Yeah. But they've been through here. They were on Buck Coltrane's Country Minute. They sure here. They were on Buck Coltrane's Country Minute. They sure were. They were on Buck Coltrane's Country Minute. They debuted a song on there that still hasn't been released. Same thing with Chase Rice, by the way. Chase Rice debuted a song on a podcast.
Starting point is 01:27:35 It hasn't released it yet. Heater. Heater. It's a real fucking heater. I think that podcast probably wins an award of some sort. Yeah, as soon as he releases a goddamn song. As soon as he releases it and wins a fucking Grammy or whatever. You're welcome.
Starting point is 01:27:47 Come on, Chase. Let's do it. I mean, we can't write the song and release it for you. No. You know what I mean? You got to do some work yourself. Seriously. God.
Starting point is 01:27:55 We can't just be good looking for you, Chase Rice. But Taylor LeJuan, they put up a video. They had my Pro Bowl jersey hanging up. And they were videotaping it. And he said, not this week. And they hung it up, a Taylor LeJuan jersey they put up a video. They had my Pro Bowl jersey hanging up. And they were videotaping it. And he said, not this week. And they hung it up, a Taylor LeJuan jersey over top of it. So Taylor LeJuan quote tweeted it, sent it to me, and said, you like that?
Starting point is 01:28:16 And I said, uh-uh. I did not, sir. I did not like that. By the way, let's not say that we're 100% out of the woods on not getting a plane from Green Bay straight to Indianapolis, straight to Nashville for Sunday Night Football. I feel like this is a game we might want to be at.
Starting point is 01:28:35 And I put that out in the universe for no reason other than I want to disappoint everybody. I thought about it, by the way. If I wasn't doing that Lions-Packers game, I had thought about, after I sent the tweet to the Titans, I forget what I was doing. I was sitting somewhere, and I thought to myself,
Starting point is 01:28:56 I was like, this is a game I feel like we should go to. I feel like this is a game we should probably go to if we go to this. And I was thinking about sliding in the DMs of the Titans, like, hey, if I was to come with some friends friends is there any way we could just like just stand on the field for the game like we don't need seats just let us stand on the field for the game huge ask by the way huge i mean they're gonna be real happy sunday night or a very dark spot well yeah i i just don't think i i didn't want i didn't hit send i didn't say send, and I found out I was doing the Lions-Packers game. This will probably be one I want to watch from home anyways.
Starting point is 01:29:29 This is a big game. It's a really big game. Huge game. This Colts team was dead. One and five. This team sucks again. Oh, my God. Chris Ballard's an idiot.
Starting point is 01:29:41 He's the worst. Nothing works. Luck's done. His shoulder's good. It's done. We were's good. It's done. We were questioning it. Bringing in Jacoby Brissett to throw the ball 50 yards. 50 yards for a deep ball at the end of the Hail Mary there at the end of a game.
Starting point is 01:29:53 That was the turning point. There was so much happening there. They turned it all around. $60-some million to spend before the year. $100-some now coming up. Chris Ballard chose not to spend any of it. Everybody's like, this guy is a fucking idiot. You got cake, cuz.
Starting point is 01:30:09 Khalil Mack just got moved. There's people, there's things to go get out there. I asked Chris Ballard, hey, you got a lot of fucking money, man. You gonna spend it on anybody? He said, I want to build a culture first. Smart move. I want to build a culture first, and I want the locker room to control itself before we bring anybody else in here
Starting point is 01:30:25 sounds good motherfucker but you guys are one in five is that ever going to change you know these fans will turn quickly is what I was thinking these fans will turn quickly I got a lot of friends in the building I want them to win because when they win my friends lives are a lot happier but then they
Starting point is 01:30:42 something happened something happened that culture that Chris. It just started clicking. Something happened. That culture that Chris Ballard wanted started clicking. The offense started coming together. The defense got a super chip on their shoulder out of nowhere. Darius Leonard shows up as an animal. All of a sudden, you couldn't touch luck. Couldn't get through that O-line.
Starting point is 01:30:59 No sacks. The offensive lines started taking pride in defending and protecting luck. That team was awesome to watch. Vinatieri became the all-time leader in points. The offensive lines are taking pride in defending and protecting luck. That team was awesome to watch. Vinatieri became the all-time leader in points. Thank you very much. Rigoberto Sanchez having an incredible year. I love this Colts team.
Starting point is 01:31:16 I'm enjoying it a lot. Was Vinny always such a vocal leader in the locker room? Because I noticed he does a lot of the post-game speeches and shit. No, no. Vinny never really talked. I think to the media he talked. I think to the media he talked every once in a while. Is that a Frank Reich thing? Did he grab hold of him and be like, Vinny, I want you to talk to these guys afterwards?
Starting point is 01:31:31 I don't know. It's like two games in a row where you get some kind of speech. I really don't know how it goes. I have no idea. Maybe it might be. Maybe he's rejuvenated. It just feels really good. Or maybe Vinny has said, hey, this is my last ride.
Starting point is 01:31:45 You know, when Ray Lewis, when the Ravens won the Super Bowl, Ray Lewis went and gave him a speech and told him it was his last ride, basically. And that team respected him so much, they were like, listen, we're doing whatever we can for Ray Lewis here. Art Jones told me that. He was on that team. He actually told me that in a players-only meeting for the Colts whenever we were not good.
Starting point is 01:32:04 That when I was in Baltimore, when Ray Lewis said it was his final run, we refused to lose for that man. We refused to lose. We need that in this locker room. And I was looking around. That was the same thing with the boss. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:32:20 I wonder if Vinatieri, because they are letting him talk a lot more. I wonder if it's like, hey, this could be, or maybe Vinatieri's kicking for another 20 years. Who knows what Vinatieri, because they are letting him talk a lot more. I wonder if it's like, hey, this could be. Or maybe Vinny's kicking for another 20 years. Who knows what Vinatieri will do? But I'm excited for this Colts team. And that Titans team, I like them, by the way, too. I like them a lot.
Starting point is 01:32:34 Yeah, it's tough with Mariano. It's going to be tough. Blaine Garrett, what are you talking about? Blaine Garrett. He's a part of a ward that's named for terrible quarterbacks. But I digress. The last time? Nick Foles was probably on the name of that. named for terrible quarterbacks. But I digress. The last time? Nick Foles was probably on the name of that.
Starting point is 01:32:48 No, no, no. If that ward was around, when Nick Foles, before Nick Foles goes and takes mushrooms in the woods and has his whole come back to football moment, he probably would have been on that award. I don't know if you guys remember the first time the Titans played the Colts this year, and I think Mariota got hurt in that game too. And Gabbard came in and threw the ball three yards directly into a defender's
Starting point is 01:33:10 stomach. It was one of the funnier plays of the year. Colts are dark blue. Titans are light blue. Easy mistake. Unless they get Derrick Henry and just run for 300 yards, then maybe. It's going to be feed Derrick Henry by the way, which everybody knows it's going to be. Feed Derrick Henry. Every year, at the end of the year, Derrick Henry, by the way, which everybody knows it's going to be feed Derrick Henry.
Starting point is 01:33:28 Every year, at the end of the year, Derrick Henry turns it on, and you just think he's going to be the next guy. He's not. And he never is. December, January football is run game and defense. Run game and defense. That's why the trenches always win, they say. Now, granted, high-flying offenses, I guess,
Starting point is 01:33:44 can probably flip the script on that. But they always say running the ball in defense is what wins in December and January and February. We'll see if that's the case and we'll see if the Colts can stop them. Big game. Good for Sunday night football, by the way. All right, winning your end. Here we go. They only have the Colts at like minus three.
Starting point is 01:34:00 I figure with Mariota not playing it would be... Well, on the road, they normally it's like three points, so it's six. What do you think, Todd? Are you hammering the Colts? Oh, yeah. Oh, no. I mean, I won't bet on them because I have that thing where I'm not going to be the person
Starting point is 01:34:13 who fucks them, you know? That's very nice of you. By the way, for the whole building. But yeah, if I was everybody else, I would hammer that for sure. There's no way we're losing that game. We're going to win big. Ty just won that game. We're going to win big. Ty just won that game. I'm a little bit worried.
Starting point is 01:34:29 I don't think I've ever been this disappointed in a prediction. If you were Connor coming in. Todd, I think the Todd curse has changed. I think the Todd curse has changed. Connor's taken over. Last year it was fade Todd. Fade Todd was very big last year. I think Connor has come in and been the reigning fade Connor champion forever.
Starting point is 01:34:48 What did he text us the morning before the game? MCL. Tom Brady's MCL. Tom Brady came to make it down the sideline, hammer the bills. Hammer the bills. By the way, they covered. It was a great bet. It was great.
Starting point is 01:34:58 He and I only put it in because he texted me, by the way. I think he got all four of his Christmas Day NBA games wrong, though. Yeah, he did. I took his inside information. I take the weirdest shit. I thought he texted that with so much confidence. Just like your tweet. You tweeted that Minnesota plus six was basically a gift. And I'm like, you know what?
Starting point is 01:35:19 Diggs wouldn't tweet this with this much confidence if he didn't truly believe it. And I'm a guy that's like, you know what? I believe in you. I believe in you. If you's like, you know what? I believe in you. If you believe in you in this moment, I believe in you. Connor did send that text and was like plus 13 and a half. Connor sends that text a lot. You only send it once and we're like, oh, that's for real. He's very
Starting point is 01:35:36 confident in every single thing. Every fucking bet, he's 100% behind. I must not be in that group text. Good for me, by the way. Yeah, because I don't want to be that. Because I will buy into his confidence. If I will do anything. I just go to the at bro bro bets.
Starting point is 01:35:54 But I've been fucking working my way up. I've just got to be disciplined. I'm just going to stick with what these guys are saying. And write that out. They are good. It's been working. Bro bro bro bets is good. Yeah. I text with Gorman every time saying and write that out. They are good. It's been working. Bro, bro, bro bets is good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:06 I text with Gorman every time I bet with you guys, which has been basically every single bet these days. And I have been working my way up. Instead of just betting on shit just to bet on it, I was, you know, the reflecting thing we talked about. I was reflecting on my drought in the gambling. Okay. I was reflecting on it.
Starting point is 01:36:25 How does this happen? I feel like I know the NFL pretty fucking good. How did I hit that drought? It's because I was betting on things that I wanted to see happen. Like points. I'm like, all right, I want to see these two offenses fucking go. I'm going to bet on that. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:36:41 I was starting to bet on things that I wanted to see. With your heart, not with your head. Exactly your head exactly exactly so now i talked about this i'm only taking the bets that i know i'm like okay i'm only if it's only two or three bets it's only two or three bets yeah it doesn't have to be every fucking game that's what i have to do that's why i bet too many games yeah that's how you know what i mean yeah and the ones that i know the ones i feel good about like those hit but then i'm like, I made all this money in blackjack. Now I go to the craps table and just blow it all. It's like the same type of thing is happening.
Starting point is 01:37:10 Been there. Yeah. Been there. Both sides. I've been to both sides of that. Been there. Bro, bro, bro, Betso. Because you know what happened?
Starting point is 01:37:16 You got hot for a little bit. Real hot. Then you get confident, and then you just, yeah, I'll do anything. I'll bet on anything. Let's go. And then it wears off. You crash back down to earth. No, because I think I'll bet on anything. Let's go. And then it wears off. You crash back down to earth.
Starting point is 01:37:29 No, because I think I got hot on just betting what I knew. And then I got too confident. Just like I was with Shelby. Exactly. Look what we did. We restored Shelby. Yes. And we've restored this betting run. That whole episode just came full circle.

Starting point is 01:39:25 No, I think the thing is that we do have to have a way to pick the winner. Because last time we did this, there was people sending me words that I was probably going to use anyways. People were like, say cuzzy. Well, that's on them. That's on them.
Starting point is 01:39:38 Yeah. So how do we pick a winner? I think it's just the word you wouldn't have ordinarily used. Maybe a phrase. Maybe a phrase. There the word you wouldn't have ordinarily used. Maybe it's a phrase. Maybe a phrase. There you go. Give me a phrase to use. Because the phrase is, yes, give me a phrase to use.
Starting point is 01:39:53 Now, let's think about what could potentially happen, right? LeGarrette Blunt could be on the run. So a Blunt could be on a big run in Lambeau. Think about that. What else could possibly happen? Aaron Rodgers could get hot. Aaron Rodgers could get real hot. Oh, I could tell you what.
Starting point is 01:40:05 There might be a pressure situation, and you'd be like, you know what? Hey, Rod Smith. That's not his name. Robert. Hey, Robert Smith. Oh, I thought it was Roger. You know what diamonds are made out of?
Starting point is 01:40:18 Pressure. And you just drop that out. But they're not. They come from a pressure situation. Yeah, look it up. Yeah, but they're not made specifically from just pressure. It. But they're not. They come from a pressure situation. Yeah, look it up. Yeah, but they're not made specifically from just pressure. It's part of the equation.
Starting point is 01:40:29 It's part of the equation. But I understand. Just drop it on them. Yeah. The pressure's on Matthew Stafford right now. Can he lead the Lion Boys back? That's all they get in the rough, the diamonds. I saw white boy Rick. I saw white boy Rick over the weekend.
Starting point is 01:40:47 I almost did. They said, we're not lambs, little Rick. White boy Rick, we're lions. And it was in Detroit. And I was like, you know what? In Detroit, a lot of pressure. That's where diamonds come from. I got one for you.
Starting point is 01:41:00 You know what happens to a landmine when you put pressure on it? What's that? It goes off. All right. Let's assume that Todd has to pay full price at the store. Okay, what if I use that one? I'm going to write that one down. Put pressure on Aaron Rodgers and he goes off.
Starting point is 01:41:20 Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay, so if you put pressure on it, it goes off. Aaron Rodgers is like a landmine. Yeah, so he escapes the pocket, fucking launches one down for about 45 yards. Aaron Rodgers is like a landmine. You can't bring heat on it.
Starting point is 01:41:32 Aaron Rodgers is like an IED. Oh, boy. I don't think you'd do that one. Okay. Like a landmine. Yeah, yeah. Enough time has passed on the landmines. Like a landmine.
Starting point is 01:41:43 Yeah. You put a little bit of pressure on it. It goes off. That's a really good fucking line. Now that you explained it, Todd. You put a little bit of pressure on him. I thought you were just yelling. Hey, Todd, I think we got the winner.
Starting point is 01:41:55 You put a little bit of pressure on him. He goes off. And then he turns into a diamond. He goes off. Pressure also. Creating diamonds. Alright, so beat those two phrases. Boys, girls, good luck.
Starting point is 01:42:12 I'm excited for it because obviously we're going to make another highlight package of videos. If you have multiple televisions, I'm not expecting you to, but if you do, I think this Lions-Packers game will be worth a listen. Oh, yeah. I knew nothing about those students, human athletes

I feel good about what we're doing. A little tip to the listeners, since you're probably not going to be able to see this game unless you're in Michigan or Detroit.

So my parents, I think, are coming down here to watch it. Correct. Got it. But if you're just at home, just Google a little NFL Reddit stream, Lions Packers pop up right there.
Starting point is 01:43:15 Everybody talks about Reddit being this magical place. I know nothing about it, but now you can just listen to the Lions Packers. That's where I watch Steelers. Steelers games almost every week. Oh, that's awesome. Good for Reddit doing that. Then the guy who founded it married Serena. Oh, it's not legal.
Starting point is 01:43:27 No, yeah. It's highly illegal. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Todd's a cop. But I knew people were going to have that question, so here it is. We just solved it. I'm so fucking Italian to you.
