The Pat McAfee Show - PMS 2.0 035 - Hot Topic Thursday

Episode Date: January 3, 2019

 On today’s show, Pat and the guys cover a vast range of topics. They discuss whether or not they think Urban Meyer will coach again and how the cult’s of college football teams impact a coach's legacy, and get into the feedback Pat was given after calling his first NFL game and if he thinks he’ll get another chance to do so and in what capacity and where. The guys also discuss the first few days of the weight loss challenge and how the participants are battling through it, dive into a little movie talk ranging from Kevin Costner’s athletic skills, to Avatar, to Goodfellas, which results in a conversation about the current state of the mafia, and if they still operate. They also cover all the drama going on in Pittsburgh with the Steelers and talk about a couple of the potential landing spots for AB if he is to get traded, chat about the NFL playoff games this weekend and who they’re leaning towards, get into a little bit of a fast food discussion, and question where the phrase "bless you," came from and if it should be extended to other things as well.

It is Thursday, January 3rd, 2019.

This is going to be the greatest year of all time. We all know it, and we're all expecting it. And today, we got a goddamn good one for you. But first, what is the action network it's just where like if you bet you can place a bet there or you you put what your bet is and then other people can see like i could follow digs and take all his picks a lot more than that though but what is it though it's you also it's an entire website built for gamblers by gamblers yes that's a good way to put it. Their whole thing is be smarter bettors.

You can see the sharp money reports. You can see where the public money is. But it's basically like a lot of people ask us. They don't know much about gambling. Yeah. Right? There's a lot of people that want to gamble because we talk about it all the time. Yeah, this is perfect for it.

The Action Network. It's a resource. Is a resource for people to do better. Yeah, you can't actually bet there. You just go there to get information. But you can also do contests. You can do, can do like for instance they had me set up a contest yeah prop contest for this weekend where you can pick overs unders on certain prop bets and if you win the contest you win money so it's not that you can you can set your bookie wherever it is over

to the action networks you can see how you're doing you can enter into these prop contests and you can learn about where money's going who's betting where the things that are happening you can learn about things that nobody knows about going into basically it makes you a smarter more knowledgeable better correct live score updates everything it's the one-stop shop if you're going to gamble for information that you need updates on how things are going green dot city right that's what it is if you bet a game it sends updates to your phone on if there's a score or something like that so people are like why would i if i already gamble somewhere why would i need the action network the reason is because it's

going to make you a better gambler yeah you're gonna win more money you're gonna be a better gambler you're gonna make more money you're gonna be able to play in their contests that are completely free and make money off of it like i have one this weekend asking you about a couple different things like do you think the over under for made field goal is going to be over 51 yards this weekend or under 51 yards this weekend taking into account things like in these games, a missed 50-yard field goal is giving the other team great field position. So how often will the kicker get sent out for a long field goal is one question you have to ask. And then will they make it?

I am betting the kickers are going to hit the over there, but that's one question of my little prop contest, which you can make money. What's the percentage of balls fair caught this weekend? Over 80%? Over 80%? Under 80%? Over. Are you asking?

I think it's something that you should ask yourself. You should think about. And maybe go in and enter the prop contest. I'm going under. See, I put it really, I feel like 80% is a high number. I'll be excited to see. I have no clue.

Are touchbacks fair catches? No. Fair catches are fair catches. Yeah, where they wave their hand and they catch it. I get so confused. I've been watching all the fucking college and their fair catch rules are absurd. What are they? You can fair catch kickoffs. You can always fair catch a kickoff

by the way, but this time you can just move up to the... Yeah, exactly. College rules are very interesting, but that's not what we're here for.

This Urban Meyer situation is hilarious in my eyes because the whole world thinks this guy's full of shit. He has been asked seven times, seven times, on national media by the same reporters, do you think you'll ever coach again every time same

answer every single time and the fact that he gets asked that many times shows you the exact level of respect that the media has for the guy for the nation has for the guy and somehow he's now assistant ad it's like urban meyer is this magic maker i don't know how he does it he has terrible situations around him at all times and somehow still walks on water. Well, and that's how he's a magic maker too is because you just said that he has terrible situations, but he knows when to get out.

He gets out at the right time every time. So what's coming to Ohio State is the question. What is coming? I think it already came. He just had to get out of that situation, the Zach Smith situation. He's also coaching a leadership and ethics class there now. That's what I'm talking about.

How does he do it? How does he? And I know they say that haters could see me walk on water, and they'd say it's because I can't swim, right? Yeah. That's a real quote, I guess. From Urban Meyer. From Jesus?

No, just in general. That's a quote in general. But I feel like Urban Meyer, I don't want to be a hater here. I feel like he walks on water everywhere he goes. He can do. He had a murderer in Florida. Known bad rap. Everything's terrible there.

Everybody knows what's going on there. And he leaves and they celebrate him leaving. They're like, oh, we hope you're healthy. Have a good one. He goes to Ohio State. This whole thing happens. He refers to it as the stuff that happened, right? The potential domestic violence. The stuff

that happened. And still he's like, oh yeah, let's have you teach a class. Let's have you be the assistant athletic director. I don't understand how he does it. Because he was at Florida and Ohio State and these college fan bases in Utah. These college fan bases are such cults. They don't give a fuck

as long as you're winning games. They honestly couldn't care less. NFL, too, by the way. Well, the NFL, but especially these big programs that have been around forever. Florida, Ohio State, they're storied programs. So no matter what, they only care about winning. And Urban Meyer, he's finishing with over, what, 900? And he won there, so he automatically becomes a god.

He does walk on one of those fan bases. I would say this. I would say this. I would say this. College football is the most similar to European soccer when it comes to fan bases living and dying with the team. Their allegiances are, there's no questioning. There's no way they'll ever get off it. If you're an Ohio State fan, you're an Ohio State fan.

If you're a Penn State fan, you're a Penn State fan forever. And these people camp out for days in advance to watch their boys go out there and play. I understand that. But, man, there is really no critical thinking when it comes to the whole process. No, no. I think a lot of it is based on these college football programs, and you're comparing it to them, is a lot of these college football programs are not in big cities. So it's literally the only team in town.

You're not used to rooting for anything else. Those teams are your life and death. And so if they are successful, whoever is making them successful is God to them. And these teams, too. Florida hasn't had a great pro team in a while. That person is bringing direct happiness to that city. That person is, in their eyes, that one singular person. It's like Rich Rodriguez.

Dana Holgerson goes to Houston. People are like, bring back Rich Rodriguez. Rich Rod bailed on our team whenever we had national championship to go to Michigan, right? We still had one more year of Pat White. My class was still, we had one more year. He leaves and goes to Michigan. Rich Rod then goes to Arizona.

And then maybe is it like, I've been everywhere else, man. I want to come home. Is there rumors he's coming back to? Yeah, he's an offensive coordinator right now somewhere. He just signed on to be an offensive coordinator. No, at Ole Miss. I'm talking about Urban Meyer. Diggs, do you start?

Will he coach a program again? Not the NFL. Will he coach a collegiate program? I think yes. Absolutely. Everybody thinks yes. That's why he was asked seven times on national TV. I think his move is he goes to ESPN for a year after he's done

and does all that bullshit. That's what I'm saying. He's going to do it again. No, no. This one is he goes to ESPN for a year after he's done and does all that bullshit. Yeah, he did that. That's what I'm saying. He's going to do it again. No, no. This one is he's going AD route, so he's a little bit more esteemed professionally. There you go. He's going to make a shitload of money in the interim, and then another high-profile

job is going to open up, and he's going to get so many offers. Hey, Urban Meyer's a gangster, bro. He's only 54. He could come back in 10 years and still be coach age. He's a real gangster, though. He's unbelievable. He finished his career at Ohio State. His winning percentage is like 920.

It's absurd. Pat, I disagree with you. He ain't a gangster. Okay. He's good at what he does. Don't get me wrong. He's got a system. He controls.

He wins everywhere. Marvin Lewis is a gangster. Oh, my gosh. Marvin Lewis is a gangster. That's a gangster. Not Urban Meyer. Urban Meyer goes everywhere, he wins. Marvin Lewis loses everywhere he goes, Cincinnati, and he stays there.

What you're saying right there is the sentiments of everybody. Everybody says what you say. About Urban Meyer, you ask everybody, they're like, oh, the guy's a liar, the guy is not trustworthy. But you listen to Ohio State people. I like checking when teams post a picture about somebody and then the comments. I like to see the comments. Like I checked. So I like checking like when teams post a picture about somebody and then the comments. Yeah.

Right? I like to see the comments. Team accounts. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. They posted a picture of Urban Meyer. And the first 100 comments were from Ohio State fans thanking him for his incredible leadership and knowledge and guidance to these young men.

And I was like, holy shit. That is the biggest separation of thought from inside and outside the dome I think I've seen in a long time. And it's like the Ohio State people, I wonder, they have to hate the media that keep asking him. They have to hate the media. They wanted to kill, what's his name, who came out with the original? Brett McMurphy.

Yeah, Brett McMurphy. They wanted to fucking, like, he was getting death threats from Ohio State. They have to hate him. Just for breaking retirement news, too. He's just getting obliterated. His family got affected, too, McMurphy. I mean... Don't mess with the Ohio State fans. I mean... Or I think the

Big Ten, Penn State, I'm telling you, that fan base, and we all saw it, I guess. The world got to see it whenever the Joe Paz situation happened with old... They were fucking riding on campus. They were riding on campus. Yeah, for the opposite right yeah there's people rioting one way around the country and then it was the complete opposite burning

things down on the opposite side of it but growing up in pittsburgh yeah yeah you you like i've realized the penn state cult my whole life you know like people that go to penn state they love penn state and then the world got to see it. And this is the same thing I feel like with the Ohio State one. It's like, man. We went back for our coach's funeral and there was a Penn State fan there. All Pat did was ask

if what's his name is Dunn. James Franklin. If James Franklin is Dunn. And the look on this dude's face changed for me. He was ready to fight me. It almost had to be held back. It was insane. I never been in... Because AQ, obviously, good friend of mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always bust his balls about Penn State

because I was supposed to go to Penn State. They told me I was in Penn State material. They didn't offer me. Yikes. Yeah. Really? Yeah, McQueary said that to me. Mike McQueary, the guy who was in the testimony.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he told me... Saw me in the shower with the... Yeah, he said I was in Penn State material after making my dad and I drive up for a game, it's like, what the fuck are we here for? We're going to drive home. What do you mean?

That Penn State material really took a turn a couple years later. Karma really came full circle. It's a pretty nice compliment now. Back to Urban Meyer. To hell with Urban Meyer, okay? Because all he's done as a Michigan fan is put a shiv in my ribs. Hey, y'all are terrible too. Seven, eight straight.

Okay, seven, eight straight years. And then on his way out with a 28-3 fourth quarter lead that I actually jump on the bandwagon of the Ohio State Buckeyes on Monday night. They can't protect. No, he can't protect a 28-3 lead. So with all due respect on your way out, Urban Meyer, you go do bad things to yourself.

Spread. We're talking spread here. Oh, you're talking spread here. Five and a half points says Fred. He's 28-3. 12 minutes left in the fourth, and Meyer says, I'm going to fuck Gorman one more time on the way out the door. And that's what he did. That's what he did. Personally, put a

shiv in my ribs and turned it. So hold on. What was it? Five and a half? Five and a half. It wasn't really. You could have got it that morning. I had seven and a half. Six and a half here. Six and a half here. I'll see. For some reason, I think I had seven and a half. Six and a half here. Six and a half here. I'll see. For some reason, I think I got four and a half. Oh, no, you didn't.

Are you serious? I honestly believe I did get four and a half. And then the kid takes the two-point conversion back to the 50. I'm thinking he houses it. We cover. Oh, yeah, yeah. And Meyer's like, no, fuck you, Gorman. He was running like a 4-1 down the sidelines, and I'm holding my breath.

I'm like, oh, fuck. He's going to return. Hey, they're talking about Harbaugh, too, potentially. Goodbye! I've heard Jets a lot about Harbaugh. Goodbye! I mean, if you can't beat Notre Dame, you can't beat Ohio State, and you barely beat Michigan State. Goodbye! Really? I love him. Hey, hold on, though. Here's a huge transformation. The Michigan man. Yeah, whenever

he showed up, remember the... They were celebrating the khakis, Michigan man. He was sleeping over a kicker's house. His house. He grew up in a house across the street from the big house. I know. And these guys are like, no, no, fuck them. You've got to win big games. I mean, Urban Meyer won every big game, almost every one that he was in. He can lie up in front at a press conference,

and he can get hired tomorrow by the biggest programs. He's a winner. I mean, Harbaugh, you don't win. He can go anywhere, but not the same level as Urban Meyer. Who would you rather have instead of Grady Hogan? Oh, absolutely. No question. It was all fucked.

Dude, we did fucking cartwheels when your guy came over from West Virginia. Rich Rod. Yes. So did we, by the way. See? Rich Rod, there's a guy, I guess you can't say it anymore, but he was a winner too. Rich Rod was a guy that won with us in that Michigan.

He didn't win much, right? No, no. But they didn't let him get his guys in there. He was trying to bring that place a little bit down. I don't want to say down a little bit, but he was trying to bring in some. Lower the GPA. He was trying to get. If I would have been in high school, I think Rich Rod would have been trying to get me into Michigan.

Can we not work away? I can write an essay or something. Guys are leaving because of your bud Barwiss. I mean, they were transferring left and right after six months under Barwiss. Barwiss Beach is no joke. And I'm happy that i don't have to do that ever again but that let's say i mean it was like a real life you might it was it was a boot camp you're going to a boot camp we're gonna uh we need you all to be bigger faster stronger and tougher so uh here we go we're gonna do an hour in conditioning here in 115 degree weather and let's see who can make it.

And there was a lot that didn't. By the way, yeah, those are the heart paddles on the side of the field right there. Yeah, you see them? Just in case. Nobody here knows how to use them, but they're potentially going to be used. I'm going to speak for most Michigan fans here. To hell with Urban Meyer. To hell with his lies.

To hell with Urban Meyer. But if an opening does happen in Ann Arbor, we'd welcome their – Oh, my God. Exactly. I tell you, I'm the shoulders of giants, absolutely. You know, I mean – That's why I don't think Urban's done. I think Urban is going to conquer all the power fives. He's done the SEC.

He's done the Big Ten. Now he's got the ACC. He did Utah, too. He was in Utah. So he's already done the Pac-12. Uh-huh. Oh, so he only has two more now. I think he's holding out for Notre Dame.

I think if Notre Dame were to shit can Brian Kelly tomorrow, he would accept the job in a heartbeat. That may be next year. Why? I mean, they've talked about him going to Notre Dame. He was like a fan growing up or something. Yeah, his tie's there. Exactly.

So he saw Brian Kelly get slacked, and he was like, I think now's the time. I'll tell you what, it looks like that guy's going to get fired. This has been fun. I mean, we had a couple of dramas. We won a little bit. I'm going to get the fuck out of here. I'll be the assistant AD it looks like that guy's going to get fired. This has been fun. I mean, we had a couple of dramas. We won a little bit. I'm going to get the fuck out of here. I'll be the assistant AD.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Until Notre Dame's like, how about 10 mil a year? Exactly. And I don't know how much farther Brian Kelly can take him. I mean, he's done pretty well. He's going to die, too. Brian Kelly's a guy that's going to die on the field. Yeah.

That guy is going to die on the field. I saw him when he was at Cincinnati, when he was on his little come up, right? He beat us. Yep. But whenever he gets angry, his face. Oh, my God. Beat red. I am a red-faced human because I am Irish.

But what happens to him, it looks unhealthy. It looks like he's about to burst. Well, they were talking about during the game. He's dialed back on that. They're actually talking about the color of his face during the Clemson game. Because it was so bad. Yeah, after when the kickoff fumble, not fumble, almost went out of bounds, they were complimenting how white his face was.

I was in a production meeting. I was in a production meeting while that game was on in the background, and I just peaked at it, and I saw it. I was like, holy shit. Yeah. Wow, this is bad. This is supposed to be a big game, you know what I mean? So then I say to, I say like, college playoffs.

There has to be a better way than this, robert smith big college football guy big college football guy those college football people they love the way the college football is set up by the way every game matters they say throughout the season we don't want to get it to a state where it's like march madness or this or that every game matters and i just found it very interesting like no it doesn't it doesn't matter It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all. That's not a true statement at all. Especially when you have terrible teams in the conference and then teams like Notre Dame who are just doing nothing.

Todd's on a Mike Becker. He's a big Notre Dame fan. I am. Here's my question to you, Pat, about Urban Meyer, the cyst on his brain. How much credence do we put on that? Zero. The short-term memory loss, the chronic headaches. Is that a real reason or do you think that's his way out? Do you think he says that? He does say that-term memory loss, the chronic headaches. Is that a real reason

or do you think that's his way out? Do you think he says that? He does say that. Oh, yeah, he does say that. It came out. He said he has a cyst on his face. He actually does.

Oh, what if it's like that John Travolta is just phenomenal? You ever seen that movie? What if we only got a couple years left of this guy and we just need to use and abuse his talents?

Maybe that's why he's such a good coach. He has this brilliant thing going on in his brain and now it's going to kill him. You ever seen Phenomenon? Oh, yeah. That movie made me cry whenever I was a kid.

That movie's awesome. By the way, his cyst came out when he was getting waxed by Purdue, just so you know. It's convenient timing on the release. That's when he was hit at both of his knees on the sidelines and holding his head. He's getting shellacked by the Boilers. He was a wide receiver coach in Notre Dame for four years.

Tyler Trent was beaten. Rest in peace, Tyler Trent, by the way. Incredibly inspiring human. Rest in peace. He's the reason why the boy, the makers beat the hell out of Ohio State. Oh, yeah. Yes, sir. With that being said, I think he's always had like the health issue whenever something

goes astray. Stress issue. Like that was the thing at Florida. Yes, stress is a hard thing. Now it's the head with the says. Well, my heart would hurt, too, if I had a fucking triple murderer on my head. Hey, hey, go fucking lift. I heard not.

Hey, Bill and I have heard. That would be tough on my heart, too, man. I'd be struggling there. He'll be back. College football is just Alabama, huh? Yeah. It's just Bama and Clemson. It's Bama and Clemson.

Yeah, I have Clemson, too. Oh, yeah. How come? Just because of the drama with Georgia? Well, the Georgia game wasn't very impressive. And then if it wasn't for – I know that's – Tua couldn't walk. I know it's stupid to say, but like if it literally wasn't for that first quarter,

like Oklahoma played with them the entire rest of the game. Yeah, they did kind of dial it back, huh? They kind of shut Tua down, which I don't really understand why. And the fucking defense – the Clemson defensive line, they have some fucking dogs on there. Yeah, but they're suspended. Dexter Lawrence? No, just for that one game. Dexter Lawrence is back now.

Oh, Dabo was like, you will not do those drugs here for one game. The only thing that scares me is Clemson has a freshman quarterback in Saban. Hey, I love that dude. He can do something. I love that dude. He's a stud. He doesn't give a shit.

I would like it to be known that I love that fucking guy. He throws the prettiest fucking ball, man. Hey, he is going to be worth a billion dollars. Oh, he's going to take over. He's a pro already. He looks good. He's got long hair. And he's like perfect.

He looks like he has dude, too. I think he should curl his hair. I think he should get a fucking perm or something. That long, stringy, blow it up a little up a little no dude i think that flow is such a good thing such you know why because remember the titans is such a huge impactful huge impactful movie in every football player's life like whenever that titans did that dance and we put that video up the fox if you look in that comment you're gonna see a lot of nfl guys that are like yep that because mostly because that movie is the most real life of what it's like so sunshine is a character already that

is beloved by every football guy basically on earth now you got him in real life and he's taller can throw better and looks like he's smarter than the sunshine in the movie i think he's gonna make a billion dollars having private conversations with Peyton Manning. He looks like Peyton Manning. When he's playing, he looks like Peyton Manning. He's going to somehow try to leave after his sophomore year. And somehow, they'll push it through. Somehow it'll get pushed through. Did you ever see Any Given Sunday?

Yeah. I sold some boots, by the way. I sold some boots with the speech of just that one inch. That's all we need. The inch in front of us and the inch behind us. You haven't seen it recently? No, no.

I just want to get your take on the realistic angle. I don't think it's realistic at all. No. From what I've heard. Are you kidding me? Remember the Titans? Very realistic. It's like that ESPN show, Playmakers.

Playmakers, yep, that they had to cancel. Really? Yeah, yeah. What's that about? Three-fourths of the guys in the locker room are on steroids, beating their wives. I think the NFL made the ESPN cancel it, Really? Yeah. What's that about? They got like three-fourths of the guys in the locker room are like on steroids, like beating their wives. I think the NFL made ESPN cancel it, right? Yeah.

Yeah. The NFL wasn't cool with it at all. I wonder how the NFL was back in the day. You know, back when there was no rules. I can only imagine. With no cameras or anything. There was no rules, man. Guys used to go out the night before games.

I could never even imagine doing that. Yeah. Fluffy or fuzzy or the Green Bay Packers who went out the night before the Super Bowl and then caught the first. Max McGee. Max McGee. Max McGee, by the way. He was hungover.

He couldn't play in the Super Bowl. By the way, I fucking missed that. I missed the Max McGee. I was waiting for it. Did you have an opportunity to throw it in there or not really? There was zero success from the Green Bay offense. Yeah, zero. So there was never a time to talk about, you know, the receiver.

I wanted to, man. I had so much fun in there. I had so much fun. It was awesome. And I said this, by the way, I've said this on a couple occasions. I would not guarantee that I'm back in a booth. I would not guarantee it. Why is that?

You have to be. Fox had somebody review the game, like an old analyst. I don't even know if this can go on. Yeah, it can. Fuck it. So they had somebody review the game. I get an email from somebody that's like- You get like a grade?

Yeah, like a whole review, which I respect, by the way. I appreciate that a company does that. And I would expect them to do that as well. There's a lot of money on the line. There's a lot of money on the line, too. Who's the reviewer? I can't say his name. I feel like I can't say his name.

It's also great to get actual feedback. Instead of just wondering, I wonder if they like it. You have a feedback from a 60-year-old. So hold on. That's exactly what happened. Over 70 years old. Hold on. That's exactly what happened, though, in the review.

It was an old head. It was obviously an old head. And I had never heard of the guy before. And I get this review of my game. In-house or was this public? What do you mean? Was it sent out just to me and everybody else? So it's in-house, but it's not going on Twitter.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just in-house. And at the beginning of the game, so reviewed it like as the game was going he did it like a live review and then we just got sent that thing like his reactions okay at the beginning he was not a fan he was not a fan he even wrote in there that it was a shtick and all this stuff so i was immediately his first sentence about me was like he thought something bad about my shtick and my first sentence is reading this i'm like well i start doing research on that guy right so i start doing research i don't even read the rest of the view i just read the first

sentence and then i start doing research just so i know if i should be upset or not about this right like should i be upset about what i can't wait to hear yeah me too go ahead i want to read the report card honestly anyways so i go through the entire review thing or whatever and he's he's saying things that i'm reading i'm like see but i just don't see so he follows up with a email right afterwards it's like can we do a phone call? So I call him. We have a conversation. Oh, okay. Nice.

So now it's a phone conversation. But he said, hi. He introduced himself. What's his name? I just wanted to let you know that I was the guy who sent the email. Did you see it? I was like, yeah, I saw it. He was like, I've been doing this for for insert the amount of years that he's been doing

it now they're asking me to review games blah blah blah 68 so he said do you have any questions first thing i was trying to be as nice as possible because i assume this guy carries a little bit of way to fox and he could probably tell or not i was like well anytime you got somebody who's been in the game for a long time i love hearing their knowledge i'm very lucky to learn from people who have been in the game a long time stroking them i'm playing the game yeah i'm playing the game for a long time i love hearing their knowledge i'm very lucky to learn from people who've been in the game a long time stroking them i'm playing the game yeah i'm playing the game right i'm playing the game so he goes okay so let's go through it together then and i was like all right if you would like to and his first sentence because the shtick line right he says the shtick line and he and i go all right i gotta stop you so and i just i just i couldn't take i

say this is every day bro this is not a shtick this is literally me every single day i i this seems like this is more a you problem than a me problem there's literally nothing i could i guess i could be a little bit more boring i guess i could do that i could turn it down if that's what we're looking for and he goes well i saw you do wwf stuff i'm like well they're wwe now oh boy so we're going way over 70 then yeah yeah so so yeah exactly so i go with the wwe now he said well i saw you do some of that stuff i was like yeah and they actually tell me like just don't be anybody other than you like i'm actually just being me on there that is my my critiquing notes from them is just do whatever the hell you want to do in the moment so it's not it's not a shtick and he was like uh okay well um i'm sorry i was like ah don't worry about it he was like well it seems like i. I was like, ah, don't worry about it.

He was like, well, it seems like I've offended you. I was like, no, don't worry about it. I'm just letting you know you don't know me. It could be something you think. And he was like, all right. And then we go through the whole game, and it was like a pretty good conversation after that. It was a pretty good conversation.

Was he complimentary? He was good. It was okay. I mean, there was a couple times where I was trying to keep the shots at him in how they choose to call games at a minimum because there was a couple times where he was telling me I should have said something different. I guess I could have said it in a much more boring fashion,

but if you listen to the words, I actually did do some educating there if you actually listen. That mentality is, Pat, the star is the game. The game will sell itself, and I'm here to tell you in 2018, guys, agree with me or not, it's 2019. I mean, close to 2018 so we're not just one off but the game sure it is a star but you need personalities to push that

game whether it's the greatest game in nfl history or not see that's the format that's the format that they keep hey don't get in the way of the game just go up there and give out the you know that's their mentality i didn't even think about that in my head i never even thought of that because whenever i'm watching the game and listen to them i'm like man i feel like you can do you can make the game sure you can so just like with evan fox right whenever we talk about the way he makes videos and how we cut videos for the internet the editor is an exclamation point to whatever said i think the commentator is an exclamation point to whatever said. I think the commentator is an exclamation point to the game. I'm not the sentence.

I am not the... You push it forward. I am not the... I am just the exclamation point. So if something's awesome, okay, let's go ahead and put an exclamation point in there. If it's a little dry, let's go ahead and put a dot, dot, dot in there. I'm just the punctuation in between sentences. In my head, I told

him straight up that I think there's a different way to call games than the way you guys have been doing it. I would bet $1,500, whatever, everything in my bank account, that those Twitter accounts have never had something go viral for something that the announcer is saying if it's not an egregious fuck-up. So I thought that too.

That never happens. It doesn't. And that's why I'm saying you're going to be back in the booth. I've gotten numerous calls, though, from people that have – Didn't like it or – They were just like – They don't get it. Yeah, exactly.

And these people are people – decision makers. These are decision makers that are like, well, it was definitely different. And I'm like, no shit. That's why I'm saying I don't know if I'll ever be back in the booth. No, I want to look at the ratings from every single 31 to nothing football game ever and then look at those ones from the Packers-Lions. I guarantee their record. I would like it to be known that I very much understand this is a team thing, right?

Not just me, not just the guys in this room right now because I did lean on you guys for a lot of facts. I mean, Ty was sending me over some stats for me. It's a team thing, for real. For real, for real. You guys help me out a lot. But also, the listeners of this show and the followers, I think you guys want to work for me, man.

I appreciate you guys. The thing is, there's no way you don't, somebody doesn't put you back in a booth. I'm telling you, I don't. There's no way. The NFL has never once put out a highlight video of a fucking broadcaster. That was another thing. So somebody who's not related to any network currently calls me and goes,

I wonder what the NFL thinks. And I was like, I think they put out a highlight video is what I said. I think I said, I think they put out a highlight video of it. Well, that's the social. There's always like in a,

there's always like a, yeah, but that's the social people that did that. It's like, what are we even fucking talking? Let's do the same. that's the social. There's always like in a, there's always like a, yeah, but that's the social people that did that. It's like, what are we even fucking talking about? Let's do the same company. Here's the thing. I'm telling you, I don't think, I don't know if it's... Hold on, hold on, hold on. It might take a while because

of all the old heads and the decision makers that are in place now, but the people behind that are pushing things like the social media aspect of the league, those are the future decision makers. True. And those are the people that you're going to be. Spoiler alert, he's going to call Thursday night games on Amazon. Okay, book that one, Johnny. Something like that.

Book it. I'll tell you what. It's going to be a bad game. See? It's going to be a bad game. See? I'll tell you what. Amazon streaming Thursday nights.

Book it. And if you're listening right now, which I know that you are, Bezos, I'm going to be calling. I am calling you in a minute because I've got the plan in place. Because Amazon has forward thinking. Will you be nice, though, instead of the way you handled the fucking chat? Don't talk to him about the Wi-Fi. Bezos, we need Wi-Fi in the booth if he's going to do this.

I'm telling you, I think. That's the angle. That's it. I think if they give me an opportunity, though, I'm going to do well. And it's all because the team that I have with me. I mean, I've got a good team with me. You got your opportunity it's happening yeah and you you just nailed it there's the league is now expanding outside of the old school mainstream the way of i'll tell you what why isn't amazon that is the move isn't it absolutely that's more like over here the more

and more it's click click click i'm gonna go make calls right now i'm out of here because they had did they have all your season long? Hold on. They have two females. You can add me into that. By the way, you can add me into that booth with them. And I would be... Well, here's the other thing, too. Amazon's doing it. How long does it take until YouTube starts doing the games, too?

They'll have three different showings of the game with three different announcing crews. Amazon can do that. You can have your pick of who you want. They have to. Yes. And also, I think it's kind of good that the old guy, we'll call him Jason Witten's dad, we'll just go by that, that he didn't like you in the beginning, but by the end,

throughout the game, he realized that it wasn't a shtick. It was just you being you, and by the end of it, he liked it. By the way, I think that's why... Progression. And by the way, let's not rule out that that guy has some personality, too. I think he wanted to go through it line by line because he knew by the end he was enjoying it. What was his name again?

I want to say it was cool, though, because I felt like I was getting a glimpse inside the meetings that were happening behind closed doors about it. That's probably how multiple people feel. In the beginning, they're like, what is this shtick but by the third fourth quarter you're like oh shit he's just this is daquo jackson this is exactly what this is this is daquo jackson some of those people daquo was just an old guy quiet leave me the fuck alone beat up a pizza guy didn't he well i think that guy took his spot and that guy uh that guy i don't think he had that oh he asked what deserved it i don't think he completely beat him up either i think it was a little bit of an overblown situation by the driver but i mean to call explain the situation on our show one time finger finger

in the chest thanks for yeah it was like uh it was one bad it was a grab a snatch it was a snap tell john man that he's got an okay video who Who? John Madden. You said John Madden. And Madden probably would have loved that. Imagine me and Madden in there. If anybody of the old school people, Madden was the most outside the box. Yeah, for sure. The most creative. I mean, he would go on a rant, you know, and people loved it. We were talking about that.

Anybody can do that that has made their living wage by playing in that league, i.e. Pat McAfee in this case, John Madden as a coach. Anybody who tries to do it, like we talked about the other day, Dennis Miller throw a comedian in there, Tony Kornheiser, uh-uh. It's not going to fly. If you did the blood on the field and the sweat on the field, you can say whatever the hell you want. Also, I think a big part of this is, and it's something I cherish, to be honest,

is I have a lot of respect amongst the players. That's important. And that's a big deal because, A, they know I'm not trying to screw them. I'm going to say something like Stafford threw a ball wide. I said a little high and outside there. Not blaming anybody. I have no idea whose fault it is. I'm just telling you what happened.

He was wide open. Yeah, he was. 100% wide open. but it's just like i feel like there's a different way to do it and we'll see we'll see whenever those production meetings happen before games i would like to know what those are normally like i would like to know what those are normally like verse pretty boring that's what i'm saying boring yeah probably yeah they showed him one time joe philbin laughing in that thing man man. It should be, yeah. It was a cool thing. Fox showed Aikman and Buck doing it one time on TV.

I think it was when Baker was on Thursday night or something like that. So I think Buck wasn't there. Aikman was driving the conversation, and they showed him from the side. I remember that. Well, the thing with you, too, is that even with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, like older guys, with you, it's like when the players walk in, it's more like they loosen up a little bit. It's more of a friendly.

Because they know I'm an idiot. Exactly. By the way, they know I'm an idiot. I said this yesterday on that Detroit podcast, which I guessed as well, by the way. I've gotten a lot of love from up in Detroit from that podcast. That was a hell of a 90 minutes. It was a good conversation.

Fuck. What was I about to say? Oh, yeah. They asked me about my um my interviewing right my interviewing and they they gave me some love on it i was like thank you i took a lot of pride in that actually and i honestly do believe that when people are talking to me they're just like yeah this dude's a bigger idiot than i am no matter what i say this guy has done something dumber or whatever so it kind of takes So it just takes their wall.

Yeah, they let their guard down. Well, and that's the other aspect of it is that although that is half of it, the other half of it is that you've done something way better and way greater than them with the NFL. Well, and also my NFL resume is a good one. I think it helps. I think it all helps, man. I don't know. I honestly don't know.

The more and more people under the age of 40 get exposed to an entertaining booth along with the game. What about when sports gambling happens, man? What about when sports gambling is? It's happening. Just think of the shit. I'm so excited. Like the amount of doors as far as commentating goes. They have a spotter right now for players on the field?

I'll be in the booth with you, and you'll be asking what the live line is. Yeah, how close are we? Total tackles on every player, catches. That's coming. I mean, those betting machines are coming to stadiums. I just don't know what year it is, but it's going to be happening right under the eyes. Just think about the ability to commentate that. I don't know if you can learn about sports gambling

from going to a broadcasting school. The only thing you can do is get real hot and hit a big drought and you know everything about it. Yeah, but fuck Urban Meyer. As a Michigan man, you feel that way? Well, 28-3, fourth quarter, on your way out. I think I got it at four and a half. I got it at five and a half your way out. Tough to. I think I got it at four and a half. I got it at five and a half.

It was a bad game for sure. I got it at five and a half. How late did you put the bet in? I tried to wait until. That sucks for you guys, man, because I got it at seven and a half on us. On Washington. So I was fine. I think I put it right.

I honestly think I put it right before. I try and wait like a half hour. I think you're right, because I think it went down last minute because I said something to Diggs about it. I'm like, oh, it looks like I'm fucked because the sharp money is coming in on Washington. Because I think you're right because I think it went down last minute because I said something to Diggs about it. I'm like, oh, it looks like I'm fucked because the sharp money

is coming in on Washington. Because I saw you all bitching. I saw you all bitching about it. 28-3, fourth quarter lead. Yeah, I saw you really. 28-3.

Yeah, I saw it. And I was just like, I think I won. I felt bad. In my head, I was like, how do they know?

Because it was five and I got it at like four and a half. I was like, how the fuck do they know all the time? It's all based on the money that's coming in. I know? Because it was five and I got it at like four and a half. I was like, how the fuck do they know all the time? It's all based on the money that's coming in. I know, but it's so fucking accurate. Can we get that Chris Andrews guy on the phone again?

Yeah, yeah. We need to get him on the phone within the next two hours here so we can have him on this show. Especially the starting lines, though. Because when they start the game out, it's not like people are betting on them. How do they pick the number? And then even when it does fluctuate, it's two.

You know which one got me? Was that Bears-Patriots one early in the season. The 38-31 game. That was before anybody knew that the Bears were a legit team. That was before anybody knew. And that line came out, and everybody was like, what? It was like three and a half. Yeah, what is going on?

And then turns out they were, what, half point off or something? Yeah, they almost, I mean, the last play was to Hail Mary. That was this, it was a half a yard. I don't know how they do it. It's crazy. Because I'm talking to some of the Fox people. They don't delve into the gambling, right? The people that work in the games.

Yeah, illegal. Yeah, they don't talk about it. So whenever they looked at me, it was as if they were talking to somebody that was doing some insane thing, gambling on games. And they were so interested by it. And then once you start talking about it, they started thinking in their heads, they're like, oh, there's probably some. What are those things called where you put X here, Y here?

An algorithm? Yeah, he said they probably had. Oh, yeah, those supercomputers are insane. The Fox people who know all the behind-the- scenes shit about the stats and stuff that they create yep they're like oh there's probably so many algorithms where you're competing against a computer where you have no idea what's gonna happen i was like i didn't even think about that i just think there's a certain amount of people that live here that are from the future and work for fucking companies it has to be doesn't it yeah because they wouldn't set it up to win every time or otherwise nobody

would bet. I can't believe Matt Groening writing The Simpsons and running the biggest sports book. Setting all the goddamn lines. Not a bad gig. They've got to make so much money, those odds makers. Oh, yeah. They're going to make more once commentators are able to talk about it,

and then more people start watching. That would be the show. You're addressing it. They made like $30 million or something like that. The odds makers? No the vegas casinos so the guy the guys and girls that set the numbers though they have to get paid so much because if they're not working there they're working against how many you think there are so many each casino probably has one or two yeah but i think they all lead off of one yeah yeah there's a head guys they all odds maker at every casino oh yeah yeah but they all but there's

a head odds maker that the head odds makers of casinos look to. I mean, there's an initial line that'll come out. And I don't know who it is. Is it Chris? It's one or two. Yeah, he makes them for the. No, no, no. But what we're saying is just like in any profession.

Start. You have to start somewhere. Any profession. Who's the godfather? Let's go with meteorology even. The weather people will watch what the other people are. Like everybody. Angela Buckman.man yeah that's a neat by the way for those listening at home that is an indianapolis weather lady my favorite meteorologist indianapolis weather lady

who's been around for like 20 years i know who that is for those in indianapolis that don't have cable also and those that don't live in just Indianapolis. Thanks for that. But normally there has to be the first line that goes out. There has to be the first line. Who's the person putting out the first line? If we get him on, we will ask him. He's a ghost. No one knows him.

This was a fun stat the other day. Sports made $27.1 million in Nevada casinos. Yeah. Blackjack, $87 million. Craps, $30 million. Roulette, $30 million. Penny slots.

Let's go. Made Nevada casinos in November $280 million. All their money's in slots. Yeah, slots makes the most money in a casino. 80% of money. Always say that. That's why they occupy the most floor space. Yep.

They always say that. And then I went on to the Oneida Tribes Casino. Dying there in Wisconsin. And those goddamn slot machines were packed. Oh, yeah. Everybody's just waiting to die in there, man. And when you sit down, it's the least stressful thing to play. That avatar.

It's also the least fun to play. Yeah, I agree. That avatar one. 3D. Moving the seat. It got me. I sat down. Hit the button fucking five play. Yeah, I agree. That Avatar one, 3D, moving the seat. It got me. I sat down. Hit the button fucking five times.

All my money's gone. It's like a video game. It's a video. You can slide to the depth of the 3D. Like, how much more 3D do you want it? And then you can move the seat forward or back. It rumbled. That's pretty cool. And then...

I lost $100 probably in four and a half minutes. Yeah, it's fun. 100 bucks though. Max bets. Max bet. Max bet. Max bet. That's all I hit.

Yeah, it's tough. I hate sluts. I dropped 300 on the way up to Michigan for the holiday. Stopped at Anderson, your old place where training camp was. Yeah, with that totally electronic stuff. Literally four minutes in the high limit room there. Four minutes. Burned through 300. Turned around cussing all the way out.

Four minutes from the park job. I will never forget going in there and playing electronic blackjack and never feeling lower about my life. Oh, my God. I traveled all the way there. But that dealer is beautiful, though. I don't know how they did it. They have a human dealer that has like a,

Hi, welcome to Blackjack. My kind of girl. She was a terrible dealer, though. Everybody was losing. I wonder why. I wonder why everybody, it was almost like they knew every card. Hey, football, in a roundabout outline

over this whole conversation, generations, older generation, younger generation, guess who has to catch up with who? because it ain't the younger with the older it's the older that has to catch up with the younger generation and the same thing goes for viewing football the same thing goes for network football the same goes for announcers calling nfl games we'll see it has to adapt you're the new norm i don't know you are that i'm just telling you serious after my conversations i don't know i ain't never been more like, are you? I've almost lost faith in the process, right?

Because I've been flying around shaking a lot of hands. Yeah, kissing the ring. And I understand I'm not for everybody, but I think for a lot of people, I might be. I might be able to add a little bit of a refreshing thing. And I've been shaking a lot of hands, a lot of hands, so many hands all over the place, hopping on planes, flying, leaving here, being here for a half day, hop on another plane to go shake this hand, fly back here for another two hours, hop on another plane,

fly to another city, shake another person's hand. And it was like, in my head, I was like, just trust the process, man. If you meet everybody, if you meet everybody, you shake hands. Because, I mean, when I'm doing all this traveling, by the way, we are a small business here. So it's not like I'm, you know what I mean? We're not. You still got half your shoe in the other box.

I still got a lot of things happening here. There's a lot of conversations being had here that I still have to do while I'm still flying around. Trust the process. Trust the process. Every conversation seems to go well, which I guess is kind of the Hollywood move, by the way. Every conversation is good until you.

No bad conversation. That's kind of the way it goes. So every conversation, good, good, good, good, good. And then I do the college football game. I think it goes pretty well. And then kind of dead silent from everybody. I'm like, okay, still flying around, shaking more hands. Oh, you

need to meet this person now because this person is in charge of this, this, and this. They just need to meet you in person. You can't do it justice over the internet. So fly here, then fly here, then fly there. All this stuff is still happening. I'm like, okay, just trust the process, trust the process, trust the process.

And then I get the NFL game. Jacked. Hello. Lambo. Here we go. Trusting the process. Trusting the process. This is all paying off.

I appreciate this so much. And then the reaction to it, I'm like, okay, I did my thing right i'm saying that's what i was brought in for everybody knows why i was everybody knows why this is what i was brought into i i got very lucky i did well then the reviews come in from the people that are in there like they don't get it it's like i'm losing faith in this process i just put on 4 000 miles on my fucking flight cards and I am losing faith in this, but we'll see what happens. So what if, all right,

so let's talk about an opportunity like with the XFL. Yeah. That comes along. Obviously, they're going to be gearing their audience much younger than what's traditionally done

on network TV for the NFL. Yeah. Does that interest you or is it, I mean, I know it's not the NFL. I think so. It's just like college too.

I feel like I just know. Like the too. I feel like I just know. Like the NFL, I feel like I just know. Yeah, right. There's too much knowledge. You have too much knowledge of the actual game to not have you Well, not only the game, the rules behind the – and it's not like – I understand that there's probably people that can read up on stuff

and do this and get smart. For me, I'm all experience-based. If you've ever heard anything I talk about, it's all about my experiences in place yeah it's like for instance i i heard that the cheese curds in green bay what they were like but if i don't have them like i can't talk about it because that's literally what happened so i don't know like i think i could add value to the xfl if i ever got the opportunity and it'd be cool to kind of launch a league. I'm saying like, I think that's going to take some time. But that's not until 2020, though.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the thing. That's only a year away now. That's only February, Super Bowl. The XFL is the next year. February 5th, I think, is when they're playing on Saturday. Just think about this deal for you on Thursday night with Amazon. You call every game.

That would be dope. You call every game, and not only that, Amazon's the type of company that would say, okay, we're streaming this. Pat, not only that, you get to pick your co-chair each week. Bring him in. Bring her in. It doesn't matter.

That's the kind of thing that people would watch. Would I be able to be in the stadium? You have to be. Production meetings or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the same thing. You can pick whoever you want to boot with you. So I bring in like Darius Butler.

So I have Darius Butler come in for a week. Darius does the pre-production meeting with me. Does the whole thing. We do the... Former cornerback in his league. Long time. Safety. Yeah. Long time. Nobody really knows him. Hilarious person. I bring in Eric Walden. Boom. Like that type of stuff. AQ Shipley, obviously. Sure.

And that would be good for them, too, by the way. Because they're getting reps. George Foster would be fun in the booth. George Foster would be incredible in the booth. That'd be fun. Yeah, and he would never get a shot, by the way, because they're getting reps. George Foster would be fun in the booth. George Foster would be incredible in the booth. Yeah, and he would never get a shot, by the way. No, I'm saying anywhere else. George Foster would never get a shot anywhere else. On this thing, we're going to get it done. Amazon, are you listening?

Good. Well, and I think the NFL and NFLPA should also be listening, because I think it could be a really cool thing. It would be a great thing. That's a genius idea. These people just listen to us. We're just brainstorming right here. There we go. Because me bringing in George Foster and Darius Butler. Because we can. Because me bringing in George Foster and- Darius Butler.

Darius Butler. Sure. Because we can make a three-man booth, too. I mean, if we- Oh, yeah, you can have a five-man booth. You bring in Bruce Arians, too. He's a whole different person all of a sudden. Yeah, it wasn't great.

Yeah, but- He can be great. I would assume that I'd be able to make Bruce Arians. I've lost all faith. You saw what ESPN did on the bowl games and stuff like that. They put a bunch of people in a room, and they called the game. They talked. You saw it.

You remember when they were doing that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's an alternative broadcast or whatever. I know, but this is now – it's not alternative. It's the new norm. NFL Network did – what was it? Rich Eisen called the game in Europe. It was like five people in the fucking booth.

Yeah. Well, that's what I'm saying, though. I could bring in multiple people. Like Joseph Adai, by the way. He'd be wonderful. People don't know much about joseph had died but i think joseph is a very entertaining person and i think he would you're the good here's a good part about you you can call play by play and then you can comment on your play by play

i mean that's good with you even if joseph had died goes mute for a couple of plays you can still you know hey joe not a bad call there by me. That would be fun. And they got cake over there. They got so much of it. Hold on. You know what else they could use is a live show that runs two hours every day. Very true. Hello.

10 to noon-ish. I'm going to Whole Foods today, so I may see Bezos. I may. I'm going to talk to him. That would be awesome. Yeah. There's never been a mention of Amazon by the way

are they competing against Fox eventually I don't think yet but Thursday Night Football they both have Thursday Night Football no because their play

those are for people that don't have cable I'm pretty sure is who Amazon's trying to go after there to see but most people are getting away from cable

and they're going I'm saying as a competitor for Fox Amazon's the place, trust me. It's a great fit right there. Isn't it? It's perfect. It would be awesome.

Here they treat their employees well. Yeah, like top 10 company. Can you imagine how bad Diggs' gambling would get too if he was now your spotter and had to gamble on every single thing? Diggs, get one game? No, no, no.

Let's have a respectable fucking booth. Hey, please respect the NFL. Also, the gambling can't get any worse. Hey, you, please respect the Shield, man. I don't know what you're trying to do over there. I thought it would be a fun tandem there. Anyway, I got calls to make. We got to get this thing done. I think Diggs, though, I think

you do prove a pretty vital job in that whole thing. I got calls to make. We got to get this thing done. I think Diggs, though, I think you do prove a pretty vital job in that whole thing. I got info. I would have to find a spotter, though. I don't know how we find a spotter. I have 20-20 eyes, too. No, no, but you have to focus on one thing. It's like there's a lot going on up there, by the way. That's spotter.

With my glasses on, I'm basically a hawk. Are you trying to work your way into the shot? Is that what you're trying to do? I mean, if I'm standing in front of all you guys waving like that other fucking guy, yeah, I am. I am. Brett, that guy was a good guy. Don't take shots at him.

It seems like you just took quite a shot at him. Yeah, unwarranted, but whatever, Brett. All right, so that's the plan. Nice. All right. Jeff Bezos. You know what? You know what?

I've been flying around for months shaking hands with people from all these places. Not one from Amazon. Can't wait to get on a flight and do that again. It's going to be fucking great. Coming at you. Hey, good idea there, Gorms. Not bad. Hey, by the way, Gorms is not a 95-year-old man.

No. Almost. Everybody that follows you thinks I am. Well, it's because you can't speak into a microphone. Well, I've got to eat this thing. I got the shit end of the mics on here, okay? You can't deal with it. It's not that bad. You can light. Well, I got to eat this thing. I got the shit end of the mics on here, okay? You can't deal with it. It's not that bad.

Hey, I want to let everybody know, I offered Gorms a job five years ago. Uh-oh. I did. Really? I offered Gorms a job five years ago because I was just going to do stand-up, and he was a tour manager,

and I enjoyed working with him, and I think he was trying to not have me quit football at that time. I was. So he was like, no, no, no, no, no. He was like, I would not. I was. Yeah was. So he was like, no, no, no, no, no. He was like, I would, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, he was like, no, no, no. Two phone conversations. Let's think about this again.

Yeah, yeah. Shut the fuck up, click. It was real. It was a real thing. And then Gorm's wanting to work for Fox Sports Radio. Great show. Now we're here? That show was great. Amazon?

Freebie. Every time I went on that show, I thought, this great you were great you were great i loved having you on because boy you brought it i that we needed it a few times we needed it no i i think it's an interesting thing the the daily talk show thing i think this is the same thing with broadcasting i think people feel like it's supposed to be done a certain way right Right. And I just, in my head, I'm like. It isn't. You can tell me all these stats that tell me what have worked, right? But my job is to tell you what I think will work.

Yeah. And if it doesn't, hey, fire me. Or go back to the usual shit that you do. Yeah, do whatever you got to do. By the way, this Amazon's a big money maker for you. In my head, I'm thinking. For the last, since you've mentioned it, in my head'm like how i consider myself a pretty smart human i mean normally dumbest in the room but common sense wise pretty quick i can't believe i've never even thought of

that because you're saying an ultimate alternate broadcast or me with andrew kramer i believe and i'm not for that which is nothing against that i'm just saying they have the capability of putting up two different games for people to watch and pick their announcers in that streaming service. Oh, my God. So it's you with whoever you want each week, not a paroled criminal, but somebody that has knowledge of the game or that is a funny friend that knows the game.

Yeah, and then people can decide, okay, I want to listen to the McAfee broadcast. I'd rather he just be the guy. Yeah, exactly. You have one option. He's on that show. Well, eventually, eventually, I feel like it splits down the middle. Hey, how about this? Just you. For 16, no, for we'll call it, because there's two Thursday night.

Let's just call it 14 weeks of you alone in a booth calling Thursday night games. That's play-by-play. That's commentary. That's fun-fill, fun-fill, fun-fill, commercial, back, play-by-play, commentary. Can you do it? Well, you can also still. I mean, that's you-filled, fun-filled, fun-filled, commercial, back, play-by-play commentary. Can you do it? Well, you can also still- I mean, that's you playing the drums,

strumming a guitar. That's what I do with my goddamn thing. I mean, obviously, somebody in there would help. Well, you could also throw to the field. There'd still be people on the field. Oh, we're going to have people on the field, too. Yeah, exactly. I mean, thank you for that.

You know what I mean? Good idea, and I'm the sideline guy. Oh, I love this. Yeah, you throw it to Gorman on the sideline. I got experience in that. Yeah, we're going to have to negotiate your price here. I'm excited for it. That'll be fun. Yeah, you throw it to Gorman on the sideline. Come on, I got experience in that. Yeah, we're going to have to negotiate your price here. I'm excited for it. That'll be fun.

Who knows what's going to happen, but I can't wait to enjoy it. Hey, being a college football coach can be complicated. Right. Evidently. Very. You got murderers on your team. Yeah. You got, like, cysts on the brain.

But somehow it'll be made easier. Being in the NFL playoffs. Complicated and confusing. Great conversation about that coming up.

Save a femur. Tell you what, you wear a suit, you put it in your suit pocket. In your heart. Prank sex in your heart. Wow. That happened in some movie. Somebody wore something in their pocket.

Deadpool 2. Yeah, it's an old gag. Deadpool 2, he had the coin. Like a chain. Well, that can happen to you with your Ridge wallet. Bulletproof. Dog tags. Those are so thin.

It's amazing that they can block a bullet. Yeah. I bought them once. It's happened in a movie block a bullet. Yeah. I bought them once. It's happened in a movie before. I've seen it. At least once or twice. I don't think that's what they're designed for. This show's about to really get good.

Wait till you hear this. Did anybody watch that Floyd Mayweather fight? Yeah, we watched it. Yeah. It's hilarious. What happened there? He got knocked the fuck out. His dad? But those weren't even real shots, though.

No. It looked like he fucking threw himself down on the first one. It looks like they were trying to make Floyd feel good. I think the Japanese man's dad was very upset with him. He was like, oh, you think you're a tough guy, huh? You think you're a real tough guy. Yeah, but did you see the training videos? He was punching hard in those videos on the mitts.

Yeah. And he had been in combat sports before. Yeah. He's a kickboxer. Apparently not. But he got in there and it appeared as if he looked like me

whenever I'm in my dreams and I can't land a punch. No, he had a good plan until he got hit in the face, Pat. Yeah. Mike Tyson. That's fair enough. Floyd was fucking with him

so hard. He's laughing. He's laughing and throwing punches. He didn't even work out. You could tell Floyd's body didn't work out. It was like what Lyt hard. He's laughing. He's laughing and throwing punches. He didn't even work out. You could tell Floyd's body didn't work out. It was like what Lytle would do to me. Like throwing these punches from over here.

Like, here, let me see if you can see these punches coming. It was literally like boxing day one stuff. And I know that because Lytle landed a couple of those on my face. And it's just like, that's exactly what it looked like. Nine milli made for that. Yeah. For a minute 30. And he could have ended that that's exactly what it looked like. Nine mil he made for that. Yeah. For a minute thirty. And he could have ended that four seconds in if he really wanted to.

If he wanted to just walk up, he could have just punched that kid right in the face. That kid couldn't touch him. No matter what, he could not touch him. He could have just went for nine minutes just dodging punches. I feel like I feel like that kid threw the fight. Whoa. Exhibition? Exhibition throw? To make Floyd feel good.

I think they're so courteous and so polite. The money wasn't enough. That they're like, we'll pay him and we'll make you look good. That was like the pitch. Was it $9 million only? It doesn't sound like a Floyd. Well, that's why people started marketing it up, and Floyd was like, no, no, no, no, no.

This is not a marketing machine thing. This is a paid appearance. Remember that? Sweet 16 Yeah. I got like spun. Like it's a paid appearance almost like a corporate gig. It was a corporate gig for a boxer. You're right. It's exactly what it is. Nine mil. They'd pay like Todd to go in there and do some standup. Well, Floyd, I like Floyd Mayweather. Hey, kid, you'll lose to Floyd Mayweather? Yeah. Okay, we'll have him fight my kid. There's $9 million.

So it was like a talent show? Yeah. Hey, Foxy and I have been to one of these corporate Christmas parties. Wild. Wild. Never seen anything like it. I didn't know those existed like that. It was going down.

I think that's what it was, but Japan's version of it. Also have to remember that all of the best fighters in Japan become ninjas. So this is like a tier three fighter of Japan, actually. Oh, you think just walking around, that happens a lot? Come on, ninja. What the fuck's a ninja? What? What?

A stealth assassin. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja.

A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja.

A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja.

A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja.

A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja.

A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja.

A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja. A ninja.

I've seen two ninjas in real life. They were a guy's bodyguards. Yeah. And they don't fuck around. Dangerous. That's the cream of the crop. And then their actual fighters are kind of like C-League, D-League type players. Yeah.

Have you ever seen Beverly Hills Ninja? Oh, yeah. It's a movie. But I'm saying they're actual ninjas. Based on a true story. Yeah. Did you not see what he did with that palm tree? You've been on this earth for 50 years and you don't know that there's real ninjas?

What do you think this is? Yeah, I thought they were back in the day with Kabuki Theater and stuff like that. Oh, they're still ninjas. Kabuki Theater. Guys, I just don't know in 2019 that there's ninjas walking around. Oh, yeah.

With baggy pants on. They're not walking around. They're in hiding. I mean, you're not going to see them. You're not going to see them. What does this guy think? He's just going to spot out ninjas. You're just popping up on cameras everywhere.

Oh, you think ninjas want to extinct? Are you fucking kidding me? I think they did. The whole thing about being a ninja is not to be seen and not to be heard. I've been to Japan twice. I've never seen a ninja. You're not supposed to. Exactly.

They're doing their job that way. Exactly. That's how good they are. Quit ganging up on me, you bunch of fucking ninjas. When you're wrong, you're wrong. I'm not going to fight you guys. I'm just saying I haven't seen a ninja. No, you questioned their existence. I did. I did. I thought they...

Two different things. I thought they kind of layered out in the 40s. Bro, you see a ninja, you're dead. 40s? That's the only time you see a ninja is right before you cut your fucking head off. Ninja. Believing isn't seeing. Alright, well, I'm telling you what... And even then, you're lucky. Seeing is...

Yeah. Because I think the first time you see a ninja is after you see the blade. Have you ever seen a million dollars? Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and ninjas. Have you ever seen a million dollars laid out in front of you? Yeah.

North of that, yeah. Drug lord life. Who says that? What's the kid's name in Santa Claus? Charlie. Charlie says that quote. That's where he gives it to Neil. Bust him down.

We're out of the holiday. Yeah, we're out of the holiday movie season. What are we into now? The New Year? Super Bowl movies. We're in a bad part of the season. What? Playoffs, man.

We're in a bad part of the year. We're talking about playoffs. We'll wait until February. Yeah, yeah, all right. We'll find for a little part of the season. What? Playoffs, man. We're in a bad part of the year. We're talking about playoffs. We'll wait until February. We're fine for a little bit. By the way, February, there's some new leagues starting. There's going to be football on a regular basis. Remember when football came in the summer and it was at Flag Football? I was excited watching it.

I was tuning into it. I'm like, oh, here's something for me to watch. Because when you do a little, like you scroll through. Channel surf. Or Netflix or anything like that i didn't know exactly how to describe it on netflix because it's not really a channel surfing you're scrolling that's more of a scroll scroll yeah you hit the bottom you can hit the bottom now like i think i've hit the bottom on my netflix what i i there's nothing when new shit comes i'm very excited i'm like ah fuck do you go individual or do you go scroll down? What the fuck does that mean?

So scroll down, you go by page by page. That's how I do it. I don't have to. I go line by line. Mine's bad, by the way. My Netflix layout is bad. You do it through your Apple TV, right? Yeah.

That's probably why. It's bad. It is not good. It's like the description's very small. It's not a good experience, but I'm still balls deep in it on a regular basis, you know, trying to find some good stuff. But I'm a documentary watcher, but if something new pops up, I go crazy.

Bodyguard's a good new one. Who? Bodyguard. Is that Netflix? Yeah, it's Robb Stark. That's Bodyguard. The White Wolf? Yeah, yeah.

Kevin Costner? No. What? No, but that was a great movie. Great movie. Jesus Christ, Carmen. The White Wolf. Yeah, yeah. Kevin Costner? No. What? No, but that was a great movie. Great movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jesus Christ, Carmen. I respect that.

One of the best scenes of any movie is in The Bodyguard when Kevin Costner, the original. Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston. He ended up knocking the nickels out of her after protecting her. Yeah, nickels. Might happen here. Good gig, yeah. Might happen here, too. Might happen here, too.

Best scene, one of the best scenes of any movie he the old bodyguard the giant guy is in there in the kitchen kevin costner walks in doesn't say a word starts to get something to eat he starts to cut up an apple and the big bodyguard attacks him he throws him all around like it just whips his ass and then at the end the guy stands back up to come after him kevin costner throws a knife it sticks right by his head in the wall and And then Kevin Costner goes, I don't want to have this conversation ever again. Hey, Kevin Costner. Kevin Costner, sneaky most athletic actor of all time. Bar none.

Baseball player. Bar none. Sneaky. Tin Cup. He got a good stroke in Tin Cup. He got a real swing in Tin Cup. And then he's got that baseball thing where he's playing. Bull Durham.

Bull Durham. Bull Durham. For the love of the game. For the love of the game still gets me in tears. If I'm surfing and I see that, I get emotional watching that movie. They said he did all his own pitching for that, too. And that never happened. He looked like he had a good stroke. Yeah.

Because there's some actors, they start to run, and it's like, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. He had a hell of a fucking curveball in that. Dropped right off the table. Charlie Sheen did all his own pitching. I have no idea what For the Love of the Game is. Oh, Pat, you'll cry. For you, it's a movie you stop on. For me, Avatar was on the other night.

I stopped, checked it out. Every time Jacob Sully gets his wings, whenever they- Yeah, yeah. Gets his bird. When he gets his- He links in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

It's a big moment. And then at the end, whenever they're trying to save the doctor lady, and they ask if Uwa or Awa will save her, and they have have the whole thing and it doesn't happen. Awa. There it is. Awa. I played that slot machine, Avatar slot machine.

Yeah. Strictly because I watched Avatar the night before. Smart. I mean, that's destiny. It's an omen. By the way, I realized that I'd never

watched the end of Avatar. What? You have said that's one of your favorite movies. Yeah, yeah. Every time we talk about Avatar, I talk about it being my favorite movie I found out just a week ago

That I had never seen the ending So what part did you usually stop at? I think whenever the end of the thing And he gets his body And they go to the war And then like as they're kind of walking out They're done with the war After the war ends

Yeah like I see that But there's a lot that happens Oh yeah They gotta set up the second one See my big thing is like I get it You know like They won I get it Yeah yeah there's a lot that happens. Oh, yeah. They got to set up the second one. See, my big thing is I get it. They won. I get it. Yeah, yeah, it's over.

Okay, good. In your head, you end it, and you're like, oh, it's going to be part two. I'm going to watch that part in part two. Yeah, well, no, not even that. I was like, oh, good movie. Hey, that's good. I get what we did. It's like a three-hour movie, right?

So you stop at two and 20 minutes. Probably 2.45, probably 2.40 maybe in the last 20 minutes. Sam was watching me watch the end of it for the first time and she lost her shit. She was like, you say this is your favorite fucking movie. You've never seen the ending of it. I'm like, we get it. They all hop on Dances with Wolves

and fly their ass out of the fucking reservation. Not a bad idea picking your own end of the movie. Alright, this is good. Good scene. Land on a high note. That was an embarrassing moment for me. I learned a lot about me.

I was like, man, almost everything I feel like I said has been a lie. That's the best. About Avatar. And I thought since I seen the end of the movie, I was more like, I feel you. That's why I get on there, I see you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's why I got in that movie, I was more like, I feel you. That's why I get on there. I see you. And that's why I got in that slot machine. I was like, I see you.

And then it just sucked. $100 out of me in four minutes. It was unbelievable. Next level stuff. How's the first week, first couple of days here of the weight loss challenge going for the boys? Apparently Todd's lost 20 pounds. Yeah, he has. Feels so good.

Let's go, Todd. Yeah, I don't buy that for a fucking time. We'll see Friday. I want to let it be known that Todd very much was the most uncomfortably fat out of all the contestants. By far. Yeah. He did his little marine turn and he fell over.

That was top heavy. By strategy, though. I mean, most heavy and uncomfortable by strategy. Weighed in very heavy. Very heavy. Heavier than I thought. I thought maybe 215, 214, and 219.8. Your face in about 24 hours looks dramatically skinnier.

Honestly, it does. I saw a picture of myself from New Year's Eve, and I was like, Jesus, what a fat fuck. My face was all red. Hey, just for future reference, that was two days ago. Man, what a fat fuck I used to be. Somehow it was like my body was just carrying its own little fat jacket, and I was just able to take it off and just stop eating for a day.

Hey, by the way, huge whenever you're in a weight loss competition for that to be able to happen. That's like a cheat code almost. Yeah, it is. All the experts told us not to put on weight beforehand. Nope, they were wrong. We knew they were wrong. More than one.

It was like 10 different fitness. They had underscore fit at the end of their goddamn names. So you know they're real. They were telling us, they shouldn't be putting on more weight. It's going to be harder to lose a percentage if they were doing strictly off the pounds loss, then you should do that.

It's like, what? If Todd really did lose 15 pounds, which, by the way, it looks like he could have lost 15 pounds. I'm not worried about it. I think he's going to jump out to a big lead here. I think Todd's going to struggle with the last couple pounds. Yeah, it's going to get harder for me for sure. That first 15, I literally was just temporarily carrying that around. I knew I would probably lose it in 48 hours.

Yeah, but it's going to get harder. The real weight is going to get hard. Yeah, everybody is going to struggle towards the end, though. Not as hard as Todd, though, because he's old. For those that don't know, we are in a weight loss challenge. Four people are in an attempt during this month of January to lose as much weight as possible to win $9,999. Connor, who is speaking up for Todd against Nick,

is on Team Todd. Nick is on Team Diggs. Team, let's not... Let's just try and not quit. That's the team name. Let's just try and not quit. Diggs has high standards. Ty Schmidt is with Tim McAfee for Pat McAfee Foundation. Evan Foxey is with Zito.

Zito, Tim McAfee, Diggs, and Todd are attempting to lose weight for a lot of people for a lot of money. And there was a real plumping season. There was a real plumping. Everybody was attempting to put on as much weight as possible before the first official weigh-in, which was on January 1st at about 12.16. And it's been awesome to watch you guys cut this weight so far.

I'm not hungry yet. I'm not hungry yet. Todd, what were you eating? Sausage? Yeah, today I ate slices of cucumber. And you put a slice of summer sausage on top of it. Is Marnie helping you eating sausage? Yeah, today I ate slices of cucumber, and you put a slice of summer sausage on top of it. Is Marnie helping you with this? Yes, she made my whole lunch today.

Wow. Okay, so you have a team. You have more than just Boston Connery. You also have a lady at the house helping. Nutrition. And some silent investors, of course. She's all about the weight loss part, but the weight gain part, she was beside herself.

Oh, no way. She's a nurse. So she was like, I was telling her my plan. I was like, I'm going to have to chug. I'm going to try to chug a whole gallon of water right before the weigh-ins. She's like, you're a fucking idiot. You're going to go into renal failure. Your kidneys are going to give out.

I drank all that water and I held my pee so long that I almost passed. I thought, god damn, it's going to come true. You'll shoot your eye out. Tim McAfee had to help Todd to go to real failure. And I was like, God damn, it's going to come true. I'm going to bust a fucking kidney. You'll shoot your eye out. Tim McAfee had to help Todd to the bathroom right before, too. Because you're having kidney failure? I couldn't stand up.

I was in a full cramp, like a full abdominal cramp. I had to pee so bad. You weighed in very heavy. Diggs, I think you- Heaviest I've ever been in my life. Yeah, but you were, which is good, by the way. Here, here, here. You were 0.8 away from a nice round number, but I think you still did a good job. We can round it up if you want. No, no, because we're going to the 10th. This is a real thing here. Yeah, yeah, here. You were.8 away from a nice round number, but I think you still did a good job.

We can round it up if you want. No, no, because we're going to the 10th. This is a real thing here. But Nick was trying to shove curly fries down your face at the end. You should have put pennies in your pocket. That was more for the show. We were doing that for the show. I mean, we really knew that wasn't going to do much.

There's real weight, though, to a curly fry. Real weight. That's one of the heaviest fries, I think. Yeah, it is the heaviest. Dense, thick stuff. Nick, I hope you did that. Put bricks in his pockets. I would try to put rolls of pennies in there.

Whoa, this is a legitimate operation. Hey, as soon as I saw the Italians roll up. I know, like I'm saying, a Pittsburgh Italian, I was thinking. You're having a rough day here, Gormson. Hey, real money, by the way. I was trying to get a boner, because I was like, that's half a pound. Wow. I don't think that's how we're going to stop at the top.

Is that true? It's bigger. It's got a way more. Zito. What about cardio? Are you getting any sweats in, or is it just not eating shit? Oh, yeah. It's 6.30. I was at the gym this morning. I saw Diggs over there at Planet Fitness.

Watch New Year's Eve. Sponsor Planet Fitness. I have to do it in the morning, because I'm not going to do it at night. By the time we're done with work, I'm exhausted, so it's just not going to happen. Zito. What did you do? Cardio? I did everything.

I worked out. I did cardio, yeah. Well, lunges, yeah. Yeah, I did six minutes of lunges. Are you doing Corey Gregory's workout plan? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. You're fucked, dude.

Oh, yeah, yeah. That guy is real. Well, he's doing it like we would do most things. You take it, and then you do like a quarter of it. Yeah. I'm pretty sure I was supposed to do 20 minutes of lunges. Six. Not bad. A little bit more than 25.

I was about to pass out. I was seeing stars. Weatherford sent me a plan to look like him, and I was like, bro, why'd you even waste your time? He has me doing exercises. It's five sets, super sets of 20 reps of each thing. I'm doing... I had to do

like a hundred fucking incline presses. No chance, bro. But you'll win. I was using fucking fives looking awesome at the gym. I'll let you know this. I would guarantee you would win, though, if you were to do it exactly how he has it out. Guaranteed that you would win. Well, that's going to happen, then.

You just said you did a quarter. I mean, I can't physically do it exactly. Well, that's the reason why I did it for you. I'm doing the best I can. If you've not been working out before, lifting weights before, isn't there a chance you'll put on muscle, though? And that would weigh more than that.

Uh-oh, Tony. Road bump. No, I'm fine. No, that was calculated in the workup. What are we doing here? No more questions from my client. Go take a look at a picture of Corey Gregory and fucking try to dispute him and show me

what to do. Hey, on the road of life, there's going to be a lot of road bumps. Okay? You just got to get over them and maintain your speed. Correct. Ain't that right, Tito? Yes. A lot of road bumps.

Road bumps are bad. What about you? You have any road bumps going on in your dieting plan? No. I actually feel like I'm like a meth head trying to get over withdrawals, but other than that, I'm pretty good. I like that this motherfucker wears shorts and like workout shorts underneath.

Yeah, I'm ready to work out. But you're not. I got the right mentality. He figures if you wear workout clothes it's basically in your mind

working out. If it happens you're ready. I'm working this out. At any moment you could just bust out and do a prompt workout. Are you going to work out?

Yeah. What are you going to do? You're just going to not eat. That's the plan. Yeah, basically. Because you've been living the life that Todd's been living for the last two weeks. You've been living that for like 48 days. Yeah.

I have a lot more to lose. So you think. That's the way it was. Well, and you, I will say this. I would not put it past Zito that he was preparing for another weight loss challenge for those months that he was appearing to order. He was ordering food at 9.30 a.m. He waited pretty late, though.

Double doses, too. Pretty late, though. Hamburger and mac and cheese. Like at 9.30 a.m. I don't even think we had the weight loss competition set yet. But in my head, I knew it was coming around the corner. And you're the returning champ. I think what people have forgot is that Zito is the reigning champion.

He already has a ring. He lost 32 pounds in 30 days once. Do you eat at home? Do you cook? Do you prepare meals for yourself? How do you eat at home? Like for this challenge or just in general? No, just in life.

Recently, no. I assume the pub doesn't eat at home. Well, no, no, no, no. I'll make pasta every once in a while. Yeah, Zito's a pretty good chef. Absolutely, for the pub. Really? Oh, no, no, no. I'll make pasta every once in a while. Yeah, Zito's a pretty good chef, absolutely, for the pub. Really? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Chicken, pork. You know how firehouses have the guy or girl that cook for each group? So it's the bigger person, yeah. No, not always. But I think you would appreciate it if it was. You know what they say. Don't trust a skinny chef. Which is true, by the way, unless you're a skinny person,

then that's probably the chef. I thought about that a lot because... I that part you know what i mean uh-huh because you go to like these really nice up and yuppie restaurants and you see a lot of in shape uh like uh you know hipsters and suits it's like the chef comes out and he's got like the glasses and he's like really trim and it's like oh the reason why people are coming here is because they want to look like that guy correct where i'm like i feel, I feel like you're not eating right. Fancy places, food portions are much smaller. Tiny.

Tiny. Also has effect on it. So you're a chef. I didn't know you were a little bit of a chef. Yeah, I get that in the kitchen. But who's the better chef? Chef Bardi or chef, who's the bam guy? Emeril Lagasse.

Is he a good chef? If you're asking who the best chef is, it's Iron Chef Morimoto. Is he skinny or is he fat? He's a little thick. I mean, what about Guy Fieri? What about Gordon Ramsay? Gordon Ramsay? Guy Fieri?

I mean, that other guy. Good teller? Bobby Flay? Bobby Flay? No, fuck Bobby Flay. Not because of Entourage. For real life, though. Everybody hates him because of the role he had in Entourage.

By the way, by his age, that's bad casting. Terrible. I didn't even know Bobby Flay was a real chef until all I knew him as was the guy that fucked all his wife. I don't hate him, but all he's doing is flipping burgers. That's all he ever cooks is burgers. Good burgers, though.

What are you talking about? They're the best burgers. I used to hate Flavortown until I watched his kitchen games, his grocery games. Guys, grocery games. Oh, they're fucking awesome. Who's the real big guy? Robert. De Niro.

Oh, Robert Irvine. Robert Irvine. I like that dude a lot. De Niro. Have you blocked the, because you watch a lot of Food Network. Uh-huh. Chopped. Probably chopped.

Are you going to stop watching? Yeah, I was wanting to watch. Usually it's my go-to when I know I'm going to fall asleep. Oh, big season finale coming two weeks. I just put on Chopped, and I'm like, well, I fucking can't because I was wanting to watch. Usually it's my go-to when I know I'm going to fall asleep. Big season finale coming two weeks. I just put on Chopped and I'm like, well, I fucking can't

because I'm going to get up. I went through a Food Network binge. I went through a Food Network binge there for a while. It's a real thing. You can't watch it

when you're on a diet. No way. Yeah, Todd, just think about all the episodes you'll watch in February. That's right. No football.

You'll have plenty of time. What month is that? I'll catch up. What month is that? February. catch up. What month is it? February. Oh, wow. What is it? February.

Who? February. What month? February. February. Yeah. A Schwababun. I got a lot of tweets from Wisconsin correcting me.

I guess it's a Schwabanon. I like the other way better. Yeah, you said it better. A Schwababun. I tell you, it's tough to handle, man. I had an early favorite before the official weigh-ins for this weigh-in thing. After the weigh-ins, I have a new favorite. Like a new bet.

And you can bet on all these, by the way. Yes, you can. In my book, your sponsor. But I put my bet in early, like before the game. And then I kind of watched the game unfold a little bit, and I had live odds because they're changing the odds. Oh, yeah. And I moved. I hedged a unfold a little bit, and I had live odds because they're changing the odds. And I moved.

I hedged a bet a little bit on another side. By the end of this thing, I think I'm probably going to be betting on all four. All four. I think I'm probably going to be betting on all four. But there's week-to-week bets on there, too. So you don't even bet on themself. On those week-to-weeks, is there a who's going to quit? Do you have something like that?

Lose the least? No one's quitting? There's no chance anybody quits. They'll get publicly shamed so hard. Terrible. Because there's actually people betting money on these. I actually thought about that last night. Imagine if a horse could talk and it was in the Kentucky Derby and people bet on it.

And then right before the race starts, they'd just be like, the horse is like, you know what? I'm out. And all those people that bet money on those horses could talk to that horse social media-wise. That's basically what we got going on right now. I was a little hungry last night. For the people. And then I thought about people are actually putting money on those horses could talk to that horse social media-wise. That's basically what we got going on right here. I was a little hungry last night. For the people, Dish. And then I thought about people are actually putting money on this. I was like, you cannot.

You deserve it. They deserve it. By the way, five figures. My best effort. Yeah, yeah. Five figures worth of money has been gambled thus far. What? By the way.

Trying to get up to six figures. They deserve my best effort. I would like this to be a six-figure betting thing because I think it's hilarious. Hilarious. Strictly because we're in 2019 here. There's NFL playoffs so you can obviously gamble on that. There's NHL. Anything going on?

Some things going on. Pens are back. And that's hockey talk. There's a lot to gamble on. A lot to gamble on. And also you can gamble on humans choosing or not choosing to eat right now in our office. What a world to live in.

You can really gamble real money on that right now. Stupid world we're living in right now. A lot of people are doing it. I see a lot of screenshots. A lot of money being thrown around on whether or not Diggs can outlose Todd. And if Todd can bump the man off the top of the mountain, Zito. No, no. And if Tim McAfee somehow maintains as one of the early favorites.

Did you hear about what happened last night with Sally? No. I guess Sally made a meatloaf. Ketchup. He refused to eat it. He was like, I'm not going to eat this. Tim's in the middle of a 48-hour fast right now. Yeah, he's just starving himself.

I'm going to let it be known that Sally McAfee will not be doing a lot of helping for Tim McAfee. That's what he may sound like. Sally will be having apple pie. It'll be just sitting there in front of Tim Sniffer. I don't know. Maybe she wants him to win. I don't know.

It's for the kids. Yeah, but she's probably like, hey, this is on you. I didn't sign up for this. That's what he said. He said she goes, so I'm going to have to suffer through this all month? It is true, though. That is true, though, because eating is very much a couple's thing to do. It's a social thing, yeah.

Like me and Sam, it's very difficult if I'm trying to lose weight and Sam's just chilling, doing her normal thing. Yeah, she's making the Cinnabon. Because it's just like Cinnabons. We got cookies here. We got this. We got that. And I wish I had enough discipline to be like, no, no, you can't.

Nah, that doesn't taste good. I don't want that. Who'd be the biggest crank ass about two weeks in? Hangry? Hangry? Just hangry. Probably Todd. I'm thinking Todd.

Yeah, I get pretty grouchy when I'm hungry. Which is perfect, because we're going to use that anger, and we're going to just run around Indianapolis like fucking wild dogs. Anger is a calorie burner. Hey, also, there is a whole box. We got two heavy bags, I think. I'm bringing my gloves in. You should.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, we're going to hit the bag hard. Yeah. I was doing that there for like a week. I was like, all right, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to start hitting this bag. Because you go for five minutes, you're dead. Full workout.

Five minutes hitting that thing. You download the app. It's like the round app. And it's go for like 45 seconds on, 15 seconds off. And you go like three, five rounds. You're dead fucking tired and it's like oh that was five minutes all right i used to be able to do a lot of things punch them an inanimate inanimate object did that come out right yeah

oh connor is that right february you know don't me. But it is, you feel like a real piece of shit, but it's like, oh, my whole body has that tire feeling. I've been missing that feeling. Once I started doing the walking on the incline thing and my legs were feeling that burn, I was like, oh, I haven't felt this in a while here. This feels pretty good. I need to get these.

What incline did you use again? What's that? What incline did you use? 12. 12, damn, that's high. No, yeah, 12, 12 is the highest. Gorman's told me. Two by fours. Yeah, Gorms was talking shit to me. Basically, Gorman's trying to make me

choose better decisions because he knows I'm going to be on the television. He's like, hey, stop being so fat basically. No, what I said is stop dipping into the peanut M&Ms every third pass that you go through. Well, they're fucking right there. I know. Let's get them out of here. But think about that, though.

I passed two times without going in. I think that's, see? It's progress. Reward yourself on that third time. Class F4. I am full on a diet right now with you guys. Good. Because it's easier when everybody's doing it.

Very, very much easier. Very, very much easier to do it. But fuck, what was I just about to say? I got my two by four. Oh, two by four. Yeah, Gorman, because I was talking about me walking. And I was like, yeah Yeah I'm inclining this too It's like a good workout

And it's just a walk And my knees feel good And I'm getting the burn feeling He's like 12% huh I was like yeah He's like You could probably go up a little bit Couldn't you

I was like no actually You cannot go up any higher The fucking machine won't do it He's like I've seen like old folks Put like 2x4s Under the front Old folks

Yeah yeah He basically Yeah he was He was like Dude come on're playing on sundays you're an elite athlete put up a fucking two by fours all right right mike borrow has sent me a motivational video about me basically it's time for me to be a monster again that's what he said that lasted for like what two three weeks yeah he motivated me you can come back anytime you want i would like to be like uh it's hard though i don't know how these people have all this time like that's because their job it's their job i think it's their job to work out yeah to stay fit like part of the rock's job

yes business plan is okay i also must maintain my incredible physique so he puts away hours of his day he's like okay part of my day here is going to be strictly for this. You've got to make time. I should probably do that. I should probably schedule in a time where I try to become a better in-shape person. Some people, though, like I saw this bartender

and it was cut like you wouldn't believe it. I'm like, that guy has no life outside this bar. There's no fucking way. He comes here, slings drinks till the shift's over, goes home, gets a good night's sleep, spends the whole first half of his day in the fucking gym. It's the only way you can look that way, right? I would think so.

Three hours a day. Have to. Or he's juicing big time. No, he was thin. Hard to find. Thin. But just like a gymnast. Yeah.

And I think I'm only saying that because. It was like painted on. I was going to say, what bar are you at with fucking bartenders walking around? Like, go stand by somebody else. Give me that fat lady. Have her come over here. Oh, you're upset with the guy? Yeah. I'm like, go stand next to me.

And you look like shit. Hey, guy. Listen, it's not my fault you choose to look like that. Is there any way you can go stand by Gorman then? I would, I think, I go stand by Gorman? I think I'm going to have to. I think so. I do miss that working out thing. Do you? There's not enough

time. And that's just me making an excuse, though. That's exactly what that is. Well, there's making time, and then the hardest part is once you make the time, the time comes, then you have to actually go through with it. Because you're like, oh, man, I scheduled an hour here to work out. I could just lay here for another hour. I got nothing to do. That's why that Navy SEAL, there's that Navy SEAL that you're like, oh man, I scheduled an hour here to work out. I could just lay here for another hour. I got nothing to do.

That's why that Navy seal, there's that Navy seal that says like the key to a successful life is when your alarm goes off, like get up or it's, it's basically your first competition of the day is you verse the alarm and it's like you get you off on a good start there. You win the morning. You've been losing that one for years. I hit that snooze this morning four motherfucking times. There's a new alarm clock, actually, that when you get out of bed, you have to actually step on it and stand up for three to 30 seconds.

Smart, but fuck that thing. My ass is standing up and then fucking sitting right back down. Oh, smart alarm clock. You fucking idiot. That's why you're an alarm clock. You guys want to hear my new alarm for the Waitlist? Hold on, can you play your original one?

Oh no So Todd used to wake up every single morning to this How do I fucking play it? Turn the The button on your left hand side Hey, see the little flicker on your left hand side? Oh, you have to flick it up It's probably on vibrate right now.

Like your ringer. No, I did that. I turned it on. I thought I could just hit it and play. See you tomorrow, Gorms. See you, Gorms. Hey, Gorms. See you later, man. See you, Gorms.

Hey, you remember when we employed Gorms and he didn't show up for 28 minutes? Power move. Oh, here we go. You went with it. I really went with it. Yep. Hey, we're the underdogs. Got to play like the A-Team.

Get you going. Marty fucking hates it. The A-Team, not the underdogs? She can't hate it more than the fucking nuclear of sight. She cannot hate it more than a nuclear submarine. Yeah, that's true. Cannot. That's true.

It's impossible. Yeah, you're right. It's better. It's an improvement. So, wait. You were on me earlier That's true. It's impossible. Yeah, you're right. It's better. It's an improvement. So wait, you were on me earlier about gaining muscle. You're not going to work out? I am, but I was already like lifting, but I was lifting heavy weights, so I'm just going to go light. I saw that happen for

like three days. I do it at home. I have a fucking workout area at home. We're heavy cardio, okay? Cardio is our You're not in this fucking contest. I was already huge, so I don't need to lift that much. You had an opportunity to be in this, and you fucking bitched out. No, I didn't bitch out. I made the smart decision to just slowly diet while you guys all-

He was housing peanut M&M's. Yeah, slowly diet. It's the second, all right? Give me a fucking break. Absolutely. I'll work my way up. I had a salad today, too, so turning it around a little bit. Hey, I'm proud of you, man.

I'm thinking I might move this to my alarm. Oh, yeah. Did you fix his fingers yet? See, that's not a bad one because it has like five seconds of warning before it shouts glory. The AT one just comes in hot. The whole marching band comes into the bedroom. Hey, don't you think you'll start hating it, though? It's such a good song to start hating.

Well, I mean, I think I'm already past it. The glorious one? It had its run in my life there early. It was awesome. That's fair. And now it's like I do need to stop snoozing and work out in the morning. I've had the same alarm clock for three years. Me too. What is it?

Soundtrack to my life. Kid Cudi. I used to have that too. Never got tired of it. I just use the standard one because I fucking hate it. So that way I don't snooze it because I don't want to hear it again. That's what I do. There's different ways.

James Harrison had to do a story. What is it? What are they doing? Bumper cars? No, he's just by himself working out at the gym ways. James Harrison had to do a story. What is it? What are they doing? Bumper cars? No, he's just by himself working out at the gym. He fucking bitched out on that interview. I think he's just fucking around. I don't think he's...

I don't think he's calling James Harrison a bitch. No. No, no, no. I love James Harrison. Didn't say he was a bitch. You love James Harrison? Oh, I love James Harrison. I said he bitched out on doing the interview.

Was it him or was it Debo or was it AB? Probably both of those motherfuckers. Or was it their... Oh, wow. So a bitch and motherfuckers. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, yeah, I did say that. Oh, my God.

You know when Matreon went after Brock Lesnar? Yeah. Try to backpedal out of that one as fast as possible. He was invited back three weeks ago, I think, for an anniversary of the Super Bowl or something like that. You know, he was on the field, having a good time. Looked good. And then he does this, James Harrison.

What is this? What did he do? He's been a bad influence on AB since the beginning of the year. A bad influence. Yeah, they were working out together earlier this year, and now he's hanging out with them the day after he doesn't show up for practice in a game. He's a bad influence.

Oh, Diggs. Probably James Harrison telling him how much he loves the Patriots. You're having a rough day now. You're joining me now. Why? Because you're calling out James Harrison. I'm just saying he's a bad influence. You think Antonio Brown goes to the Patriots? I think it's a possibility. I should be taking off the table.

It's a possibility. That's not how trades work, Connor. I understand that. You think the Steelers would be like, hey, Patriots, take our best wide receiver. Hey, give us your late first round and we'll take that. I don't know. They're not paying anybody else, so they didn't pay their best player. What is Tomlin going to do? What is Tomlin going to do? What is Tomlin going to do? He said he

basically said he doesn't like him. So if Tomlin's back next year, AB can't be back. Yeah, I understand. He's probably most likely going to be traded. It's not going to be the fucking Patriots. How are they going to be able to control that? Trades? Yeah, like how do you think they're going to be able to? You don't think they likely going to be traded. It's not going to be the fucking Patriots. How are they going to be able to control that? Trades? Yeah, like how do you think they're going to be able to...

You don't think they're going to take the best offer? No, they absolutely will not trade him within the AFC. Unless it's to like the AFC South or something. They would never trade him to a rival. They could maybe trade him to the Jets or the Dolphins or someone that doesn't fucking matter. So you don't think they'll cut him? You think it's going to be a trade situation?

Or he's just not going to show up next year? Because, I cut him? You think it's going to be a trade situation? It has to be. What, he's just not going to show up next year? Because, I mean, if they could. It's going to be like Le'Veon. It's 1,000% going to be like that. I can see. I mean, why would they give him to the team that instantly he may make them a Super Bowl champion? No, yeah, you do shit like that when you're the Browns. Hey, if he goes to the Chicago Bears, though.

Yeah, they got done. No. They already gave away their picks. They already gave away all their picks to the Raiders. Yeah, for Khalil. Yeah. You need picks. I mean, that's what they're going to ask for, first-round picks.

Raiders. Packers. The rumor is the 49ers. Raiders have a lot of picks. Because of Kittle and him following the 49ers IG. So, that's out there. Do the Niners have picks? When you think Gruden and Mayock, you think Gruden and Mayock was now the GM of the Raiders?

Do you think they would want to pull the trigger on Antonio Brown? They might. Can we pull up some Mike Mayock-Antonio Brown breakdown? What do you say to them? That would be big for their entrance to Vegas or next year when they're playing in London. Just another superstar. Do you think Gruden would want Antonio Brown in there?

I don't know, man. If I remember correctly, he loved him during the broadcast as an announcer, but as a coach, who the fuck knows? He's so good at football. Yeah, he's great at football. He's so good at football. It's just like, man. He's a grinder, though.

Le'Veon Bell, so good at football. It's like, man, what's going on? James Harrison. He used to be good at football. Oh, jeez. So good at football. Diggs. Oof.

Diggs. This guy's going to see you in an airport or something, and it's over. Over. He's going to go, bro, you look great after shedding 34 pounds. This guy's going to see you in an airport or something and it's over. Over. He's going to go, bro, you look great after shedding 34 pounds, but I'm going to kick you in the nuts.

No one's going to see me anywhere. I don't think D-Go's going to kick him in the nuts. I don't know. Jimmy Harrison. Jimmy Harrison. Hey, he don't fight fair. Put me through a brick wall.

You'd sue him. You know what? I hope he does come in. James Harrison was a hell of a football player. When he went up to New England, he did well, too, up there. It's just a wild scene. The Steelers... He was calling out the Steelers when he was wearing those colors.

He really did. What are you talking about? I don't think the Steelers... I don't think the Steelers... I don't understand how they're always in. Tomlin. It's Tomlin.

But it's business side seems to be the problem. The business side also seems to be the problem, too. So it's like, is it Cobra 2 or is it the players? What is it? They're the most dramatic team in the NFL. By far. It's terrible. I hate it.

Is he just one of those guys that he's just pissed like they were saying because Juju's doing so well? Oh, yeah. He's an egomaniac. That's 100% what happened. So he's a wide receiver in the NFL. Let's remember that. So would he rather be on a shitty team where he could just be the only guy to throw to?

Probably. Yeah, but losing also is not good. Right. But if you're getting paid. Hey, maybe Green Bay. That's what I said. I hope. Because they have two first-round picks.

I would gladly have them trade the 12th overall pick. Aaron Rodgers, by the way, could be cool with it. I think Antonio and Aaron Rodgers would be very cool with it. Game on one side, Devontae Adams on the other. Dangerous. Dangerous. Yeah, let's not forget Ben's a piece of shit, too. So this could be Rodgers.

Are you officially a Browns fan now? What do you mean? You just saw Donald done, OT. Yeah, I've been doing this. I've been calling Ben a piece of shit for years because he threatens to retire every offseason. He calls out every fucking player on the team. That's a problem.

By the way, what if Antonio Brown is mad at him because of that move? Everybody's spinning this that Antonio Brown's a bad guy. What if Antonio Brown is sick of Ben just calling out the rookie wide receiver, blaming it on him, doing that type of stuff? Does anybody know if that's the case? Well, yeah, but you still fucking show up for practice. I agree. Yeah, A.B.'s got a pattern here.

It's not like it's an isolated incident. This is the third time this year that he's skipped practice. Maybe he just hates Ben. That could be a real thing. He's been a problem? Yeah, but we've all had players on teams that we hate. We didn't fucking leave the team because we hated a guy on the team.

I did show up to work every day, and I hated the GM. Yeah, so be a professional. He hated me, too, and he showed up, by the way. Be a professional. I mean, he did catch 15 touchdowns this year. Like, what are you fucking— But it might not be that, though. Like, everybody's just pinning that on him because it might be the ego thing.

It's an easy angle to do. Sure. I'm assuming there's a lot that goes into this. Oh, yeah, I'm sure there is. You know what I mean? Because that's a very expensive decision to make. Mm-hmm. Very expensive.

This is a $20-some million decision he's making. Yeah, they're eating a lot of money. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. This is a very expensive decision. So it's like, I'm assuming it's not just one thing. It's kind of a mess. I mean, seriously, GM, Tyler Eifert. What is Mike Tomlin?

I mean, I'm just saying, what is going on with the Steelers? Keith Butler said that they had to worry about him on Sunday. Oh, yeah. Guy's been on IR for the whole year. Put the drama and everything, and Tomlin, you know, he talks a great game, but why is he? That's Stephen A. Smith saying that the Cowboys. Hunter Henry.

The guy inside the building? The reporter asked about Tyler Eifert and then apologized the next day, but still Keith should have known that he was, should have said, hey. Those coaches watch so much film. I mean, I don't know. Obviously there's no way you could confuse that. There's no way as a coach who lives in their office watching film, there's no way you could confuse that there's no way as a coach who lives in their office watching film there's no way you could be like tyler eifert i don't think 85 is out there or whatever like there's no that's a very interesting move that that happy you're 100

right with that because that's a tell in your head though don't you like a press conference like you don't take that serious like you're just like hearing questions and you're just like your common answers right back i don't but usually common right answers, though. I ain't been on the field for 13 weeks. Hey, how do you feel about Tyler Eifert? Yeah, we did a lot of game plan on him, and then next question. They go as he goes, you know? The old man died and the shit hit the fan. No, you're not wrong about that.

You're not wrong about that. You think it's ownership. The young rooney is very quiet and uninvolved, we shall say. Dan wouldn't let this happen. No. Does Pittsburgh think that, or is this just this? No, I mean, I don't. He had respect to everybody.

The son doesn't have the respect that his old man did. No, obviously not. Steelers are a hilarious thing, but the NFL playoffs are happening. Steelers aren't in it. Browns aren't in it. This Colts team looks very hot. I'm excited to see what they do against the Texans. Texans were also a hot team until the Colts put the fire out.

I'm excited to see what goes on there. What are the other games? There is Bears-Eagles. Okay. So we're going to find out very quickly if two teams are for real or not this year. If Ole St. Nick got the same thing in them, we're going to find out because that Bears defense is the truth. In Chicago, too, I mean, I don't think they're under, under, under.

I'm really worried about Nick Foles and Khalil Mack. I really am. I mean, for his health. His first taste of the playoffs. Okay, so playoff, everything's national TV. So that's like the awesome thing, right? Everything is prime time. So this is when big name players

are gearing up to make big plays. Khalil Mack will probably dominate. Every single prime time game he did this year. That's what he does. Dwight Freeney told me right to my face, when the lights come on, stars come out. Something along those lines. I think the Bears win that game. I think the Eagles are going to win.

Do you? You think with the ski masks They're back I don't think the Bears Are winning more than six I think they've been here They were there last year And I think you got The young quarterback

Trubisky Second year I don't know I think he folds No matter how good Well he's been terrible All season And the Bears have still dominated

Yeah but you know what The Eagles defense Is pretty fucking good too I just think there's something About the Eagles Once they get into the dance. Oh, man, and Doug Peterson, too, up there calling the shots. Just the way they match up, too.

Like, the Eagles secondary isn't great, but the Bears wide receivers aren't great. And then Eagles front seven's great. Bears running game is great. Zito, these are all your thoughts, too? Thanks, man. No, I just know we're going to win this game. Who's we? The team.

Who's the team? The Bears. Oh, yeah, because you're a new Bears. I own a Bears helmet. Signed by a touchdown scoring member of the Bears. Yeah, he's going to score a touchdown this week. You think Bradley South scores a playoff touchdown? I only hope.

I hope he can drop down and give them two bang bangs. I'll tell you what, if the Bears win by Bradley South touchdown, I'm all in on it. But I like that Eagles team just for storyline purposes going again. Who else? Chargers at Ravens. Oh, my God, that Ravens team, man. I enjoy the way they are flipping the game on its head.

I like them. Everything is fantasy football. Everything is wide open. We're going to get rid of shots over the middle on wide receivers. We're going to get rid of this. We're going to get rid of this. We're going to get rid of this. We want a high-flying, high-passing offense.

And the Ravens are like, no, no, we're going to go five tight ends. We're going to go 16 offensive linemen. We're going to go a couple running backs. And we're just going to let this super athlete we got from Louisville back here just do whatever the fuck he wants to do. And then our defense is going to play very well. And then our special teams are going to be great. That's a good recipe for four games.

Hey, especially in cold weather and shit like that, it's a good recipe like that. Yeah, there's 41 and a half on that, too. Taking that. LA is going to Baltimore? Yeah. But LA is great on the road this year. Because they haven't had a home game.

They don't have a home game in LA. They don't have a home game anywhere. I like LA strictly because in college, when you see the triple option for the second or third time that year, you have a huge advantage. In L.A., just play the Ravens three weeks ago. They know how to deal with that fucking offense. That offense is going to do dick.

Because coaches are smart in the NFL. You'd think they'd be able to figure it out. Who is it? It's Gus Bradley there, too, right? The Chargers' D coordinator? D coordinator. Yeah, I believe it's Gus Bradley. I enjoyed conversations with him pregame.

They have some sneaky good players on the defense, too. Chargers? Yeah. Yeah, they're 7-7. It's good, too. B with him pregame. They have some sneaky good players on the defense, too. Chargers? Yeah. Yeah, their front seven's good, too. Bosa. Ingram. How about Bosa, man? That guy just held – what, he was a holdout, right?

Yeah. Because his family was like, we want – Working year holdout. Hey, we want this money guaranteed, basically. Mafia family. Really? Yeah. Bosas are Italians?

Yes. And look it up. It doesn't evolve. They have ties to the actual mafia. And it's a family business. Younger Bosa coming in, too. His dad was good in the NFL, too, right? You're going to make this fully guaranteed.

No, we're not doing that for anybody. Okay. Just walk out. And then when he was into the season almost, he was still not even at practice, right? It was like a week before. Yeah, the holdout was like all of training camp. It was like, man, nobody does this anymore.

Nobody does this anymore. Nobody does it anymore. And then he got his money, and then he bowed out. It was like, oh, good for him. Here it is. Joey Bosa's great-grandfather was Al Capone's bodyguard. There you go. So he wasn't just fucking around, by the way.

Bodyguards are doing some real, real shit. Caught a few bodies, I'm sure. I wonder if old Tom Telesco over there, GM of the Chargers, ever did a little Google search on the Bosa family. Tommy T. He was the first guy that hosted me at the Colts. Really?

Yeah, Tom Telesco. Good guy. He had me go speak at his kid's school whenever he got the job in San Diego. He was supposed to do the speech. He was in San Diego moving all his stuff. Sent me a text asking if I could go read to the kids. I said, you got it, Tom.

I went and did it. Nice. Taught them a little lesson about something. They were like seven years old. Were you like a history book? Like a chapter of a book? No, no. It was like a book reading.

It was like a reading of a book. And these were tiny little kids. I gave them all, yeah, high five on the way out. And on my way out of the elementary school, I was like a reading of a book, and these were tiny little kids. I gave them all, yeah, high-fiving on the way out. And on my way out of the elementary school, I was like, the GM of the Chargers just asked me to read some motherfucking book. I should not be in a school ever again. Hopped in my car and left. Tom Flesco, good guy.

I wonder if he looked up the history of Bosa. I'm sure. I'm sure he does. I'm sure. Somebody had to fold it. Somebody looked it up. I watched Goodfellas the other of Bosa. I'm sure. I'm sure he does. I'm sure. Somebody had to fold it. Somebody looked it up. I watched Goodfellas the other night. Oh, what'd you think?

I've seen it before. This was a late night. It was on- HBO? Yeah, still had a good chunk left. Oh, yeah. Have you seen the end? I saw the end.

Got ketchup on his spaghetti. Ketchup and egg noodles. Yeah, ketchup on his spaghetti or whatever. Never would have guessed him and Karen were going to break up, by the way. How about him going into witness protection and then that same year getting arrested for drug conspiracy and only getting probation? Like, how does that even happen? Like, yeah, we put you on witness protection.

So Henry Hill goes in witness protection and he's this whole new person, right? With Karen out in Washington. They were originally in New York. Knows nobody. So that means he had to hit the streets at some point, shake some hands, like, hey, let's make a little action here. And they're like, oh, who are you? He's like, don't worry about it.

Who's that cop car behind you? Oh, I'm witness protection. Don't worry about it. And then he started trying to run drugs again, like his first year in witness protection, and then doesn't go to jail. Henry Hills has got to be the smoothest motherfucker I've heard. He's very toned down in the movie.

They did 30 for 30 about when those guys shaped points at Boston College. Oh, man, yeah. It was so good. The real Henry Hill ran his mouth so much. They really dumbed Ray Liotta down in that movie. But, Ty, how did he not get knocked off when he's doing Howard Stern late in his life before he kicked it? He's doing Howard Stern. I mean, Henry Hill was it. He's doing Howard Stern. Henry Hill was everywhere. It's like Michael Francise. What's the contract on these guys?

He read it on four bosses of his. I think all those guys were done by the time he was dead. I assume they just wait until everybody's dead. Michael Francise, you ever get a chance to look him up? He was a part of a gas... He was basically getting a couple per a couple cents every gallon sold of gas in the entire state of new jersey and they would yeah they he had a way to run this he was like this young don basically he was dating uh miss puerto rico or something something was happening he was this young don and uh he got into the sports gambling and sports rigging because he came and spoke to us when I

was at West Virginia he like they're like hey we have a speaker for us and we weren't giving really a heads up what it was about or who was we just went into an auditorium it was all the athletes and they introduced him Michael Francis he goes up on the thing and he tells his whole story and it was like it was captivating right listening to how he

turned all this shit and he had pictures of newspaper articles about him from back in the day so it was legit you know and then afterwards he like stuck around and talked and i was like how are you not dead like how can you just come give a public speak he was like well we try to keep him under wraps until this thing starts and then he gets on his plane and just flies back home i guess wherever the fuck he lives wow it's just like he's hiding out and then he said something about like everybody who's the bosses now used to work for me basically i remember this guy just looked him up he was a capo for the colombo family yeah he was like he was a big fucking deal yeah his dad was in his dad was in

and then he was in and at like the age of young 20s he became like this boss because he was getting a certain amount of percent off of the gas cell in Jersey. And he was just rolling in cash. And then whenever he was in jail, he decided to come clean and turn his whole life around. Now he does speeches about all this shit. Those mafia people are so interesting to me. Us. Us Italians.

Us Italians. Us Italians. Us Italians. You think that shit's still going on anymore? Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

Really? That movie, that show on Netflix is about a guy who was in like the Sicilian mob and then moved to Montreal and just died in like 2006.

I can't remember what it's called, but it's a new show on Netflix right now. It's 12 years ago. I mean, that's a long time ago. 12 years ago

is a long time. Yeah, but I don't think 12 years is a... You think they're still right now in New York City? Absolutely.

For sure. You think there's mafia meetings and such happening? No question. You think there's like, hey, come in here, eh? Obviously, it isn't

what it once was. Yeah, the commission doesn't exist anymore. No, yeah, they're in different areas. Like the New York State Police and New Jersey State Police still have a whole

organized crime unit. Really? Yeah. They used to go to wiretap schools and they would be in there. And I thought I had cool Yeah. They used to go to wiretap schools, and they would be in there. And I thought I had cool stories. They started talking. I'm like, yeah, I'm fucking nobody.

That's still happening, though? Yeah. Yeah, because you think with all this technology, it'd be impossible to be a mafia because you'd just get caught up in whatever. They've been doing it thousands of years. They just adapt to the technology and just start doing stuff in different areas. And I will say they're not a dynasty like they once were. It's a lot more loosely organized and guys get picked off a lot easier.

What we found out is the mafia is behind Bitcoin. Could be. Nobody has a clue. It's a long con, just trying to get everybody a part of it. The funneling off sense off of everything was genius. They just had a bunch of these

companies that weren't paying taxes on the gas or anything like that. And they said the government would send them a notice to stop doing it. And then they would continue to do it. And by the time the government would actually come check on it, the company was shut down. They had another one already up and running. Wow. Yeah, it was just like they just were just cycling

and money. Good for them. Skimming. That's what it's called. There it is. Take a little off the top. Excuse me. Don't forget my grandfather, Eduardo Del Vecchio. So I'm just saying. It's a Sicilian. The Del Vecchios.

There's Del Vecchios in Pittsburgh, I think. I'm sure there are. There's Del Grecos. I played soccer with the Del Grecos. I'll tell you what. The Italians have made their way in the... I mean, Pittsburgh plays a pretty vital part of Goodfellas, by the way. Yeah, big time. I was watching that early this morning. I'm... I mean, Pittsburgh plays a pretty vital part of Goodfellas, by the way. Yeah, big time.

I was watching that early this morning. I'm like, ah, Pittsburgh looks so bad. That's where you get all the coke from, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And what's his face? The head guy. Tommy? Yeah.

No, not Tommy. The head guy. Paulie. Yeah. Paulie. Paulie tells him not to do it, man. He does. You make a jerk out of me?

You don't make a fucking jerk. Now, remember, hands the money. Now I'm going to throw my back to you. $3,200. do it, man. He does. You make a jerk out of me? Don't make a fucking joke. Now, remember he hands the money? Now I'm going to throw my back to you. $3,200. $3,200. For a lifetime. He needed, what, $60,000? He added up $3,200.

Oh, fuck. Wild movie. The best. How about when old cuzzy just goes in there and shoots the driver who passed out and got high and took the truck to his girlfriend's house? Stacks. Stacks. Stacks. Samuel L. Jackson.

Yeah. What? Yeah, that's Samuel L. Jackson. That's one of his first big roles. Him tying his shoes, though, just like, yeah, we're going to get out of here. You Italians, man. You Italians.

Make you feel real good. Oh, my God. And then when Cousy goes in, he thinks he's getting made and just gets murdered. It's like, oh, this poor guy. They found carbone in the meat truck. It took him three days to thaw his body out for the autopsy. Italians also have brought good things to the world, remember?

Good painters. Guy can paint, that one guy. Picasso? Yeah, that guy. What the fuck? They're all believable, dude. They're all. All the painters. All of them. Not Bob Ross. Won a World Cup. Good soccer team over there.

Buffon. Make a bowl of pasta. Best food out of any country. Easy. Easy best food out of any country. Yeah. Bar none. Just Mexico.

Close second. Yeah. You're putting Mexico over China? Yes. Really? I think I would too. Actually. Chinese food in China though.

What's your favorite meal over there? Pigs in a mic I'd say after After The real pigs After the white rice Probably The seahorses actually Were really good Did you say white rice after the white rice probably the seahorses actually were really good. Did you say white rice?

White rice was your favorite? After the white rice, yes. It's much better over there, let me tell you. Really? Yeah, it's unbelievable. Before this diet started with all you guys, with me, Sam and I tried to knock it all out. We're going to start a diet tomorrow.

Or pizza, Chinese food. to start a diet tomorrow. We tried to knock it all out. Felt good, right? I did, too. Or pizza, Chinese food. I think I had wings. I had a cookie from Pizza Hut. I had Domino's. They have these two chocolate volcano things. Oh, the lava cakes. They're the best dessert out of any fast food.

Wait, so how does this work out? So you call like six different places, and there's a line of people waiting outside to come in? Yeah, yeah. Two of them came in together. So it was like Pizza Hut and Domino's arrived at the same time. They didn't even know what they were doing. One opened the gate for the other, basically.

I just grabbed the bags. Thank you. Thank you. It's a rough night. Thank you. Hey, if you see the Chinese company, let them in the gate, will you, please? Thank you so much. Tell them we're the house in the back.

It was a good time. You just turn around. It's a ninja already standing behind you. General Tso? Yep. They didn't have to let me in. They exist, by the way. Hey, I saw you go through $23, $24 in a drive-thru one time.

I was following you, so I parked off to the side so I could hear everything. Dude. We were going to an event, and he's like, I got to get something to eat. I got to get something to eat. I'm like, all right, I'll pull over. Let me have A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and throw in the wings. And it's at a fast food place, and it's $24.55 or something like that. And I'm like, dude, are you bringing some of this home?

No, no, no, I'm hungry. Pat can eat twice as much as any person in here. I can eat. I couldn't believe it. I'm telling you. I don't know how I. You put him against Zito, he can eat twice. I don't understand this.

I honestly do. It's unbelievable. I have no fucking idea how it happens because I'll just like that family size thing of peanut M&M's I assume that that's literally supposed to be for a family but I put that thing down

and it was like it was like when I was done with it I did like look at it I was like I wonder how many pieces are in there and I just put it down

and it's like it's not a good thing by the way it's not a good thing because I think I'm at the age where my body used to just shit it out

so it used to be like when I eat I would shit I would shit like three four So it used to be like when I eat, I would shit. I would shit like three, four times a day. It was like happening on a regular basis. So I don't think it was all staying. Now it's not as active.

So I think my body's like, yeah, we got to slow down. You change your stomach off like the dollar menu though, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like you have a strong stomach. Me and that McChicken have had a great relationship for a long time. That McChicken with the mayonnaise and lettuce, it's the OG of McChicken sandwich, and it was a dollar.

It was a dollar. I used to eat three of those things. You ever try putting cheese on it? We can't do this, man. We can't do this. I don't do cheese. I put French fries on it. So I put my French fries on it.

You can get a small French fry for a dollar, too, and just go ahead and dump that on the other three. You do the McDouble, McGangbang. You take one of the tops off, throw it on there. And then you make it a Big Mac almost. You put the Big Mac sauce on there. Secret sauce on there, yeah. And then somebody talked about putting the chicken in between the... Yeah, I've heard of that. In between the Big Mac? Yeah.

It's almost zero time. We ate that too by the way. Me and Sam had that yesterday as well. I had a quarter pounder with cheese. The little slices of onions that they put on there are delicious. Yeah, the sliced onions. Yeah, they're delightful. Much better. It's like they slice them with a razor blade. Yeah, yeah.

It's callback. What's the olive oil? Razor blades. Liquefies in the pants. Yeah, there you go. There you go. Hey, thank you for piecing it together, team. Anyways, yeah, so I ate all of that.

Now we can have a good time. What was your favorite Out of all of that The fucking whole dollar menu I'm sorry dude I saw you do that It was incredible Tell you what dude The double quarter pounder

Is that what you said No I only get the single The double's too much for me Double cheeseburger You got McDonald's Double cheeseburger You just get like An extra small fry

Just to put the fries On top of that Yeah yeah yeah I put the fries On top of everything I don't think I've ever Eaten fries just by themselves Like other than a couple Like just toss in my mouth Yeah yeah on the way home Those put the fries on top of everything. I don't think I've ever eaten fries just by themselves, other than a couple just toss in my mouth.

Yeah, yeah, on the way home. Those fries go specifically on top of sandwiches. Have you ever housed a whole chicken from like a rotisserie? Yeah, like, hey, I'm going to eat healthy, but you're killing the whole bread. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the keto diet says it can do that. Yes.

I don't know how a rotisserie chicken is always not awesome. Better than everybody else. Yeah. Better than every everybody else. Yeah. Better than every other chicken. Yeah. It's like you can go to anywhere. You can go to a gas station. If they have a rotisserie chicken in there, it's going to be fucking amazing.

It's because the whole thing becomes dark meat almost somehow. It's like the whole thing somehow becomes dark meat. Todd, is there anything you haven't eaten from a gas station? I mean, you were caught for a long time. No, I've eaten everything from a gas station. Did you guys get any deals as cops in any places? Like any Dunkin' Donuts would be like, hey, we'll give you coffee for free if you hang out around here?

Yeah, like where I'm from, the McDonald's, if you were on duty in uniform. The problem for me was I was never in uniform, so I never got the deals. So you always had to, I promise. Yeah. For life, oh fucking Christ, give me the free coffee.

I just almost got in a shootout. What do you want me to do, wear a fucking badge? I was like, Todd, I saw you with a meth head the other day. I didn't know you were not a cop. Sorry, you were trying to buy meth in here just two days ago. Yeah, it's because I'm a cop. Likely story. That's funny.

So you could always catch the local cops in uniform in there in the morning having breakfast, right? Because it was free. But then they took out and take it away because this one jackass would go in there off duty, put on his uniform, drive through and order food for his whole fucking family and take it away because this one jackass would go in there off duty, put on his uniform, drive through and order food for his whole fucking family and take it home for free. I mean, if we think about this from an angle of that guy and his family, you've got to respect the fact he's picking up 16 egg muffins on and off. I just imagine him in a minivan and it's like off his whole entire suit.

You try feeding these kids on a cop salary. Protect and serve. Protect and serve. Mouth is watering. Plus the free car washes too, eh, Todd? That pisses me off. I get behind a cop over at Crew Car Wash or whatever it is here. For those of you in Indianapolis, Angela Buckman is the local weather lady.

And Crew Car Wash is the local car wash. All right, I'm just saying the car wash, you go and you see the cop, he just gives a wave, and then you go, and then you've got to buck up like 24 bucks for the thing. I didn't know cops get free car washes in there. I didn't either. Wow. New perk. Yeah. I assume it's got to be a marked car.

Yeah, it can't be undercover. I'd be a cop in there. Look at Gormorms 25 years i've been thank you yeah thank you you're welcome i got my first of new undercover vehicle always you had to hand me downs you know when you first started i got a brand new truck it was ford f-150 but it was a long bed and i go to the automatic car wash for the first time with it and it was too the truck was too fucking long, and it came down. This fucking took off half my fucking bed,

or the tailgate. I'm like, God damn it. I literally just got it, picked it up that day. I'm like, oh, I'm going to get a car wash. It's been set. It's got a little dust on it. No more tailgate. Imagine being the supervisor of Todd.

I couldn't even imagine. It's like in a real life job, like in police. Couldn't even imagine. What'd you do yesterday, Todd? Try to get this thing washed. Saw it off the back. We can charge that to the state, right? I've had supervisors come help me move at 2 o'clock in the morning out of my house because I was getting kicked out.

I've had supervisors stand over me in the drunk tank and wake up in the middle of the night. I might not be at work tomorrow. Why not? I'm kind of getting kicked out of my house right now. Unless you come help me out and get me out of here quicker. Oh, I'll come grab a box. I'll grab Detective James, too. Hey, Todd's got to get kicked out of his house.

Hey, is Shine a thing in Indiana? Is what? Shine. Moonshine? Moonshine? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You guys don't try to bust anybody i've never heard of

anybody getting bust for technically it falls under atf though if you're curious ah yeah they're supposed to to work moonshining but i used to work a lot with the atf and i was like have you guys ever done a moonshining case and they're like fuck no we've never done a moonshining case they do that that show moonshiners or whatever where they had the helicopters fly over top of the woods and they're like well you see that tree There might be a shiner down there. It's like, how the fuck are they going to catch these people in these hills trying to do that? There's no way. So, you know, there has to be something else we could do.

If these people want to go blind off of drinking some shit they made in the woods, let them do it. That's so good. Speaking of the, I meant to ask this earlier, sorry. The diuretic on the. Magnet. The diuretic for the weight challenge loss. Is anybody doing that? What is it called? Magnesium.

You shit like a Christmas goose all day. He did it last year. Does it work? It's not great. It's not great. It's week four. There's no reason to do it now. You guys do that? Applied by your coach?

I'm thinking about doing it. I do it all the time at home just for fun. I think it's something we should think about. I think it's something we should think about. All right, that was a good show. We'll end it on Animoz. Oh, I got something, Pat. I'm sorry, dude.

I'm sorry. It's over. Oh, shit, man. You missed it. You held on to it too long. Same for next one. Four days, man. What do we have?

We had like four or five times in there where it could have dropped in, too. There was like a couple pauses. I know. Sure. Damn it. I got something. Is anything good or no? It's really good.

I'm pissed off. What's the genre? The genre is that bodily functions. No, no, no. We just talked about animals, man. Come on. We're trying to have a good show. We'll do it tomorrow.

This guy's really testing me over here with this. What is it, though? Ninjas, too. Getting into this category here. What is it? What? No, we'll do it tomorrow. This guy's really testing me over here with this. What is it? Ninjas too? Getting into this category here. What is it? What? No, we'll do it tomorrow. We'll see.

I won't do it tomorrow. I'll talk to you off mic on it. Oh, you want the people not to hear what you were thinking? I'd love them to hear it. That's something that sticks me out. I'm kind of curious now. So now you're thinking that people don't deserve to hear it? I'll tell it, but I'm going to catch hell for this, and I don't care.

But it does rub me the wrong way. Somebody sneezes, what do you do? Bless you. All right. Why do you bless them? Because they heart-stopped from England. No, it's because the Lord, whenever they opened up their pores and they got it out of them, they were susceptible to the devil going inside of them.

Is that true? I think they're all right. It started with the black plague. It started with the heart-stopping when you sneeze. Bless you so your heart doesn't stop. But that was done in like 1830. It started with the plague. when you sneeze. Bless you so your heart doesn't stop. But that was done in like 1830. It started with the plague.

The Black Plague, yeah. So why is it if you sneeze or you cough or you belch or you shit your pants farting, we're not applying the same blesses to people on that? That rubs me the wrong way. You're blessing them for no reason. You're blessing somebody for a sneeze for no reason. I mean, why are we starting the new year like this? Why are you ending blessing people? I love blessing, but we should do it more.

No, if you shit yourself in the grocery store and I hurt you, I'm going to say bless you. I don't say bless you because it's not worthy of a blessing. God has nothing better to do. God damn! God damn! To hell! God's going to be like,

I'm going to take time out from the genocide going on in Uganda just to make sure this guy doesn't have any... Hey, God. Hey, God. Excuse me. Diggs here sneezed. I know you got some Ebola issues maybe to be blessing. But if you could maybe send some to this guy.

Waste of time. Waste of his blessing for a sneeze. Nobody's died because of a sneeze. Some guy shits his pants in a grocery store. That's fucking weird. Hey, why not? I had a college coach. Burp.

Bless you. Coach Herb Hand. This might be breaking news. Coach Herb Hand, he's a coach now either at Vanderbilt or somewhere. He's a college coach. He sneezed, held it in, had an aneurysm, almost died. Are you serious? Bless him then.

I wasn't there. You're trying to say nobody's ever died from him then. I wasn't there. But you're trying to say nobody's ever died from a sneeze. I personally tell a guy. Did he die? Well, he's... He should have. He survived. Okay, well, he's not dead! Bless the

farters. Bless the pukers. Bless them all. Heartland Radio 2.0 tomorrow.
