So it's the 31st of January, 2019.
Yeah.
I said 18 on Tuesday.
That happens.
Yeah.
You're in January.
You're still allowed it.
That is three times, I think, in the last three weeks that I've had it.
I did not know until somebody tweeted me that I was a fucking idiot,
and I said 2018.
I think you get a little first quarter leeway.
It's a little grace period, right?
By the way, this show, sponsored by SeatGeek,
it's our favorite ticket buying app, isn't it?
By far.
By far none.
You heard the crowd there.
We are in a press conference room right in the middle of our country in suites.
Rooms aren't bad, by the way.
Phil found this place.
CFO Phil found this place.
And it was the cheapest hotel closest to the Topgolf that we are stationed at.
And we had no idea what we were getting into.
And it turned out not bad.
Not bad. not bad not bad
there's an IHOP right next door guy who's been staying here for a year says it's best hotel
this place has got squatters that's how you know that's how you know it's good so this conference
room that we are currently invading set up like a press conference by the way I am at a podium in
the front the boys are scattered in the back throughout chairs. There's multiple microphones out there.
We'll be having a State of the Podcast press conference here to lead off,
and then some incredible conversations.
But this conference room is brought to you by SeatGeek.
I think that's what – everybody knew that's what I was getting to.
Everybody knew that's what was happening.
I just – SeatGeek flew their people to this country and in suites
and bought the room
for us, this conference room for us.
And that's why SeatGeek is the best because-
There's a SeatGeek graphic right on your thing right there.
Is there?
Oh yeah.
I couldn't even see it.
That's crazy that they got it down there.
Way to put that one on there too.
Yeah, it's right there, right?
Oh yeah.
And there's also one over here, over here.
What?
Right down there and right over there, too.
That works on YouTube if you're not watching this.
Anyways, promo code PAT300 and save $300 on Super Bowl tickets.
Damn.
P-A-T-3-0-0, $300 savings on Super Bowl tickets.
And I think stats say that the Friday before the Superbowl
is when the ticket prices go way down. So if you, or way up, it's one or the other,
it's one or the other. So what I think you do is you wait until tomorrow morning, Friday morning,
you go and check what the prices are. Then you check at noon. Okay. What has happened in those
few hours there? Is it going up or is it going down?
Then use the PAT300 code.
Save $300 more.
Now you bought a Super Bowl ticket.
Wow.
Pretty easy.
That's pretty easy.
Also, use promo code PAT.
You get $10 off your first purchase.
Also a great deal.
Hey, no problem.
I'm happy that we could do that for people.
Yeah, you should go ahead and use that.
SeatGeek is the absolute greatest.
Anyways, let's get to the state of the podcast. are live here in smyrna georgia with buffalo
wild wings last night it was delicious man wasn't it i mean it was so good oh my god it was so good
way out here in smyrna too yeah barbecue fucking bobby smyrnaville it's good everywhere the buffalo
wild wings wasn't in smyrna it was in the area. Gotcha. Yeah, because that's where we're staying.
It's at Kennesaw, maybe.
Yeah, maybe.
Kennesaw, maybe Marietta.
Marietta.
You know?
True.
All the way down there where the pines are.
It would be great.
But that was awesome, Buffalo Wild Wings.
Now time for State of the Podcast.
Those who have a question, please raise your hand, state your name, where you're calling
from, and your question.
Jeffrey Gorman, the oldest man.
Hi, Pat.
Jeff Gorman, Heartland Media.
It's not our company.
It's not a thing.
Jeff Gorman, TomMackBeeShow.com.
Heartland Radio 2.0.
Yeah, that works.
That one works.
You're getting there.
Jeff Gorman, you had talked about a couple of days ago an incredible move yeah incredible
move on your way into work where you actually went up on a curve yes in your big truck we had
spoken about this yes i just kind of want to flip the switch just kind of want to flip the switch to
this morning where you were the guy that kind of i thought for my i was in the back holding on i
still have blood on my hands from holding on to the door.
The move to get off the exit at about 6.30 in the morning,
if you could kind of relive that for us.
And again, so I can be in sheer terror.
Okay, so great question, Mr. Gorman.
It was an early morning this morning, wasn't it?
Yeah.
We had to leave by 6 o'clock because everybody was telling us
about the terrors of Atlanta traffic.
Everybody says the traffic is terrible we had to be at the um radio row at 720 so people were telling us we should leave at 5 30 somebody said with a straight face you should go
at 5 30 so that you beat the morning traffic so we're like okay we're gonna leave at six right
we're like we're gonna go early then as we at 6, right? We're like, we're going to go early.
Then as we're getting in the car last night, Gorman goes, maybe 6.15, 6.30?
I just Googled it.
I just Googled it.
It says it's eight minutes.
So unless the traffic is terrible, I think we could go like 6.30, maybe 6.45.
If we're thinking, I'm like, all right, we'll leave at 6.15.
We agreed on 6.15.
So I don't like riding. If I'm in an Uber, I, all right, we'll leave at 615. We agreed on 615. So I don't like
riding. If I'm in an Uber, I will try to get in the Uber driver's seat. I will try to do, I'll
offer a deal. I don't like riding. I like driving. Phil picked us up in a rental car last night at
the airport. Phil knew exactly what was going to happen. I was not getting in the car until I'm in
the driver's seat. So he pulled up to the airport and just got out. He knew I would have been a
child. I get cars sick. I don't like it. So this morning I'm driving us to this place. Gorman's running the ones and
twos on the directions and Foxy and I have a good little system because Foxy and I travel together
a lot. All I need to know is the number I'm getting off, right? The number I'm getting off
and what the name of it is. I don't need to know the miles. I don't know any of that. I just,
I didn't know I was giving you every quarter mile.
Like, heads up, 19's coming up.
Yes, exactly.
So Gorman was getting very chirpy,
and I think what happened was I just tuned him out.
So I just tuned him out.
So then all of a sudden I asked, wait, what exit was it again?
And Gorman goes, 12.
And he goes, it's a quarter of a mile.
And there's a there's a there's
a semi there's an 18 wheeler there to our right i'm in like the far left lane slowing down folks
that truck was moving and there was a car behind it too so i obviously went okay we'll go pedal
down throttle down please to flat i think we got up to about 75 80 miles an hour oh god bending we were it was you were here
hitting 90 hitting that bending around a truck like fucking fast and furious right onto the
exit ramp which was probably 500 yards long it wasn't a long exit ramp so it was like a
and then stop i didn't even mention it foxy said. He just was sitting in the back. I don't even want to drive anymore.
That's what Gorman said.
It was magic.
It was right on Gorman's side, too.
He was sitting shotgun there.
That truck was pretty close, probably.
I couldn't even see it because you were in the way.
Let's be honest.
No response out of you.
None.
None.
Hey, we made the play.
Regular move.
We made the play.
Did we knock it off the exit? We did. Yeah, I shat myself. Regular move. We made the play.
Did we knock it off the exit?
We did.
Yeah, I shat myself.
Well, you're 50 years old.
I mean, I was scared shitless.
That happens.
We made it, though.
We did.
And it was a good time down there. How long did it take?
Well, parking.
Parking without parking.
There's an underground.
There was like an underworld.
We were driving in the underworld today. the construction zone it was hell i if there is a hell on earth i think
we were in it under the parking garage under the parking garage there's like a there's no lights
it's kind of like a dim area yeah and about 12 degrees 12 degrees and we're parking under there
and they have their own little set of roads, like underground, basically.
Like under bridges, across railroad tracks.
Yeah, the Underground Railroad.
Jesus.
Started here, probably.
Oh, boy.
We're in the south.
Oh, no.
Southern hospitality wasn't a real thing back in the day, by the way.
That's something that's kind of newer.
It's a big thing.
Oh, boy.
That's something that's gotten into southern hospitality.
It's kind of a newer thing back in the
day. It's true.
Oh boy. But we walked a long
way this morning. It was a long trip. I'm happy
we made it. Yeah, Diggsie.
I didn't know if it was the next question. Yeah, yeah, time.
Anthony DiGilio. You got to stand
though. Anthony DiGilio, PMI Live Lounge.
Oh. Oh.
Oh.
Kind of a two-part question.
Heard things didn't go great at top golf today and then i have a few theories uh that have been floating around the media world
on why things didn't go well i don't know which way you would want me to go okay i'll go um
what are your theories okay uh theory number one i excited. I heard everything was going great. Yep. Until a certain point. Yep. I did witness a certain member of the Pat McAfee show giving a little attitude to, I believe, a manager of Topgolf today. And I don't know if things fell apart after that. That's theory number one. Who was it? Someone who hasn't eaten in four or five days.
Who was it?
Someone who hasn't eaten in four or five days.
Theory number two is they saw your CEO walk in looking like the last samurai with a one-inch ponytail and just lost all respect for the entire operation.
A couple of really solid things that could have been wrong there. I didn't know the first one happened,
although I can see how it could have happened.
But the samurai pony on the CFO, he busted that out this morning,
and it was a wild scene from me.
Yeah, I was like, yo, Phil, okay, we got a ponytail up here.
Can we bring him to the witness stand?
Up here? Yeah. I don't even know if we could call it a ponytail up here. Can we bring him to the witness stand? Up here?
Yeah.
I don't even know if we could call it a ponytail.
I think it's there.
It's at the point.
He's now Mike, he says.
No comment from the CFO.
He is, by the way, he is battling something.
Yesterday he picked this up and it was like.
His hair?
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Shots fired. oh wow shots fired Gorman's excited that the target has been
placed onto Phil
Phil's got
like seven kids though so he has a little battle
a little illness three kids
beautiful kids great kids
are you going to keep the
ponytail growing though
I just don't like if I don't put stuff in it.
It just falls on my face.
Should we translate that?
You just don't wash your hair.
You just don't wash your hair.
You don't wash your hair.
Hair products are a lie.
No, they don't.
I would look like that.
Exactly, and this is because I washed my hair two days ago,
and this is how I look now.
Don't wash your hair. Connor is describing
his hair, which is the... You're not hearing the rebuttal
from Phil, but Phil's concerned
with the greasiness of his hair
currently. I think the...
That's kind of racist, what you said about my
entire friend, the greasiness of his hair.
Unbelievable. I think
Connor and Phil's hair is eerily
similar, just two
vastly different styles.
You know?
I mean, is that what you do normally when it's not a ponytail?
Is ponytail full-time?
No.
Okay.
You just got to let it go.
Let it rip.
No, you're just trying something out.
It's a phase.
A little vacation from the kids.
Zito just called it a phase.
I mean, CFO.
This is the money guy.
It's an aggressive decision.
Oh, you got a question.
Zito,
Mr. What's your name?
Philmane's CFL.
You've been getting bashed.
Ricochet shots. Always getting bashed
from here. You don't deserve it.
I might.
Zito, Mr might. Zito,
Uncle Zito, second place in the
weight loss challenge currently,
has now ordered
sets from
our merch in 3X
through large.
All shirts.
No 3X. Large and XL.
Yeah, yeah. But you were at
a double X. We all saw it.
See, you were big there at one point.
At some point, he's going to decide what size he is,
and we can start making money again.
He's not getting any more merch is what you're saying,
no matter how many sizes he gets to?
No matter how many 4Xs he needs.
In my defense, I've always been rocking an XL,
even at the small fatigue I'm at right now.
Really?
I figure.
Not fatigue.
That means I'm tired.
I'm not tired.
Which you are.
I mean, you're housing caffeine pills right now.
That is something that could be.
Two other mystery pills.
You're in second place right now.
Todd's in first place.
Todd, stomach cramped on an airplane today.
Yeah, all day.
And we were stuck on the tarmac for two hours before we could leave because evidently.
Yeah, what happened?
I thought this was happening.
The GPS system evidently froze up.
So they had to call maintenance to come fix it.
They weren't allowed to leave the tarmac until.
Why couldn't you go back to the thing?
Why do they make people sit on the tarmac?
Great question, Pat.
Great question.
So we're sitting there for two hours. Finally, I's like well i'm about to piss myself so i'm gonna get up
and go back to the bathroom that's kyle all you can't do the attendance is in her chair back there
and she stops me she's like you can't go to the bathroom and i was like listen i am about to pee
my pants and she goes well we're getting ready to push. And I'm like, I don't even know what that means.
Are you pregnant?
Yeah.
Are you pregnant?
Man.
I said, there's going to be a problem.
I'm like, I have to pee bad.
I've been sitting here for two hours.
And she goes, well, I'm going to have to call the captain.
I'm like, call him.
Yeah, call him.
Let him know, because I am going in there.
And she goes, well, you know, you could have done this before. And I was like, yeah, well, you could have checked the plane
to make sure everything was working before you boarded there.
And you're the one that was talking to the manager that Doug's referencing.
That was your second battle with authority of the day.
I never understood that, when they make you stop on the side.
It's like, why can't we just go back?
I was in college wvu obviously
and we had a guy a coach named rick trickett and this guy is a fucking legend of a man i mean
i would never want to play football for him if he was my position coach ever in a million years like
i think he was a vietnam vet and he was a wild fucking animal And we got stuck in one of those situations, the whole team.
And I believe, if my memory is serving me correctly,
Rick Trickett had the same exact experience with you,
but on a team plane, sitting on the side for like 20 minutes.
Told her, read her these rights that she should call the pilot
and have the pilot come out here and talk to me.
And he was like a 5'4 guy, old man, like 60-some years old,
cowboy boots, fucking black suit.
You tell that pilot if he has a problem, come fucking talk to me.
I'm taking a piss.
And it was just like a moment that in the entire team,
we just almost started clapping for her.
She was just this miserable prick, and we got to watch somebody else take it.
You know what I mean?
It was beautiful.
There was this other guy, too, who was coming onto the plane, informing everyone with a connecting flight whether they would have trouble or not.
And then they took people off the plane who were going to Vegas who had a connecting flight.
They sent them to Oakland instead.
Really?
Yeah.
It was bad.
I watched a full-length feature film in the time we were parked on the tarmac.
Mission Impossible, Fallout.
Incredible movie.
Great movie.
We watched it all before we even took off.
Saw the whole thing.
Is that the one where he ran, jumped, broke his leg, and continued to sing?
That's a really good piece of acting.
It reminds me of when Leonardo DiCaprio cut his hand on a glass.
I was so into it at one point I looked over and didn't realize we had not taken off yet.
I thought we were in the air.
I thought we were moving.
On the complete flip side of that, trip home from Dallas, trip home from Phoenix to Dallas, Dallas to Indianapolis.
First time in my life I fell asleep before wheels took off and woke up after wheels landed.
Thought we hadn't left.
Thought we hadn't left thought we hadn't left it was a wild like i'd say like 10 seconds it was like a wild 10 seconds where i was like holy fuck we haven't
even left dallas yet and then they're like indianapolis's temperatures i was like okay i did
it can you guys sleep on planes oh yeah yeah I slept for about 20 minutes on this one, I think. Sorry, I had to potty.
Did we talk about why the plane didn't start?
Yeah, the GPS is frozen?
No.
Oh, jeez.
Oh, Diggs, I'm happy you're back to tell the truth.
Yeah, yeah, I had to go pee.
Everything was going fine, and then child Connor,
who apparently has never flown before.
This isn't true, first of all.
This is blasphemy.
We're about to push back from the gate.
Gets up, completely stops the plane, goes back and takes a pee.
When he gets back from peeing, that's when the pilot comes on and mentions the GPS.
So they had to delay takeoff because of you.
So that's what happened, but I didn't click any buttons.
I peed, but I didn't flush.
Last week, you just let a motherfucker right into our office.
This time, you're stopping planes from taking off.
I didn't stop this plane from taking off.
You're a disruptive motherfucker.
I get very unlucky.
For instance, I just left to go get a quarter
from our room, our hotel room.
Key card doesn't work.
Door's broken.
They got to come fix it right after this.
I'm serious.
This shit just happens.
It's not my fault.
But the Patriots went a lot,
so you get to experience that.
Exactly. I was sitting with a baby. What's that my fault. But the Patriots went a lot, so you get to experience that. Exactly.
I was sitting with a baby.
What's that?
Jay was sitting with a baby.
Were you in the middle seat?
No, but I was way back in the plane.
That's a pride baby.
I'll tell you what, man.
They're much worse than a baby.
I think Foxy was right next to a baby from that Dallas.
Or was it?
It was a toddler.
Yeah, it was right next to a baby.
Did it sleep?
Did it sleep?
Didn't sleep.
He said a very tall baby.
It was the Code Red, and so the mom got scared.
Yeah. It was a whole mess.
Code Red.
I'm going to make an entire stand-up bit out of the Code Red.
We actually pulled it from the podcast the last time.
Yeah, you should.
You can keep this conversation.
Me and Foxy were a part of a Code Red on a plane,
and I don't want to dive into the details of it,
but when I do it on stage for the first time,
it's probably going to be a 25-minute story that is going to be fucking.
It has all the pieces in it.
There's a love triangle in there.
There's emotions.
A guy was dead for like five seconds.
I mean, there's a lot of shit to get going.
One key part we did miss out on the podcast from last time is there was no Wi-Fi.
And that's very important because you would have been live tweeting the entire thing.
What I'm saying is it was every – because I had to pay attention.
So I had no Wi-Fi.
So it's like the old days whenever you guys just used to creep on your neighbors, I guess.
Like my mom used to sit on the front porch and just watch cars and whatever fuck's going on before entertainment was on your phone everywhere.
Like that's what it was for me on the plane.
I knew every detail of this code red
from the pilot's opinion
to the fucking his girlfriend's opinion
to the dead guy's opinion
to the EMT
to the oncologist sitting next to me.
I'm telling you,
I went balls deep investigative journalism in there.
And I'm excited.
The guy's alive.
That's all you need to know.
I just noticed today,
I don't know how new this is,
but Nick and I were going to take a piss at the Annapolis airport,
and there was a lady taking a CPR course on a machine.
They had a little kiosk there.
At the airport?
And there's a chest plate to do the compressions on the shit,
and it grades you, and it asks you questions,
and you pass it at the end.
All right.
Do you want to get the TSA pre-check or the CPR class right here?
Please take off your belt for both.
The fucking airport.
What a wild place.
It was playing Staying Alive, too.
Like they tell you to the beats per minute.
It was actually playing a song, and she was grooving a little bit.
That's how long you do it for.
It was kind of ironic. Staying Alive grooving a little bit. That's how long you do it for. It was kind of ironic.
Staying alive.
Staying alive.
That's incredible.
Is that Circe?
Yeah.
I got to know for the next time.
That's a beat, yes.
That's how you save someone, dude.
Thank you.
Well, how many are you supposed to do, though?
Is it 8 or 15 or 20? 60 seconds, I believe.
I don't know.
It changes so often.
It changes every five.
We didn't take the course.
You stop when the Bee Gees stop.
How about that?
Well, I mean, I don't know all the verses.
What if I cut a verse?
What if I just hit a couple of courses?
If it takes longer than 60 seconds, you're dead.
You're not supposed to breathe in their mouth anymore, right?
It's just all chest compressions now.
What?
Yeah, I did away with the breathing in the mouth,
which I think is a good policy. That's wild. I feel like
air is a pretty important part of the whole thing.
You're supposed to push it and just keep
pushing until you wear out.
Tim McAfee said you're supposed to jackhammer somebody's
chest until you
wear out and you can't push them. You know, I never
understood the breathing in the mouth thing.
What are you doing? Are you spitting it down your throat?
If your heart's beating, you're good. Yeah, well, you exhale, which is what you're doing when you're breathing in somebody's thing. What are you doing? Are you spitting it down your throat? If your heart's beating, you're good.
You exhale, which is what you're doing when you're breathing into somebody's mouth. That's CO2.
So I never got the whole...
You've got to get the air all the way down
to get the systems back.
I always thought if it was like a drowning victim,
all the air in there would
then force the water out of the mouth.
No.
Jay's a scientist, man.
Jay knows.
Water, air weighs less than water,
so the air gets underneath.
I went to,
I was a soldier for a day
down at Camp Atterbury
with the Wish for Our Heroes folks,
Foundation out of Indiana.
And they had those,
they put me through a couple things,
hand-to-hand combat.
Got my dick kicked in by this guy that was a military policeman.
He just flipped me on my fucking head, basically.
And then I was like, I didn't know we were actually going.
Nobody hit like a start whistle.
There was no start to it.
He whipped me around pretty good.
Then they asked me if I wanted to get tasered because everybody has to get tasered.
I was like, well, I won't be carrying a taser, so I don't think I have to get tasered.
And they're like, oh, you should do it.
And then somebody pulled me aside and was like,
the group morale would love it if you got tasered.
I'm like, oh, I bet they would.
That's awesome.
Well, tell them maybe next time I'll be a better human.
That's on me.
So I gave them all high fives.
I hope that helped a little bit.
But then it was time to go be like a health nurse.
I don't know if they're nurses.
I don't know what it is.
Medic?
Medic, yeah, medic.
There it is.
And I had to go into a house.
It was like a simulation.
Go into a house, like into a back room,
check on somebody, and then go to the backyard.
And in the backyard, they had somebody
that was squirting blood out of the body.
Well, you can't tell by the way I do.
Old time, old time you'll be loved i mean start pounding on that chest no no but i started talking i was like you're gonna make it you know like i was like joking around yeah and they stopped me and they're
like that's the number one thing to do by the way is to be positive with i was like of course of
course it's just my natural instinct i didn't want to touch the blood at all
or breathe in the mouth.
But I would definitely motivate the fuck out of this thing
if we're going to survive.
I wasn't cut out for it.
What were you supposed to do, though?
Pinch it?
What were they bleeding from?
Tourniquet.
There's a tourniquet you're supposed to put on.
But the motivation thing, I guess, is like number one.
Keep them talking?
Sure.
It's like the biggest thing is
if you can't get them out of there,
just keep them positive.
I was like, I could do that with a dummy now. I could keep that shit real positive. It's like the biggest thing is if you can't get them out of there, just keep them positive.
I was like, I could do that with a dummy now.
I could keep that shit real positive.
There's nothing coming back.
You can beat the hell out of somebody too, though.
I mean, I'm being dead serious to keep them alive.
Slapping them in the face, dropping elbows.
Dammit, you're not going to go.
I think these are in the movies.
This is like Dark Water. I don't know if that's real in real life.
Never mind.
Elbows?
I have a question.
Yep.
Tom McClellan, sidekick of the Pat McAfee Show.
Are there any concerns at all with the show that's going to be shot at Topgolf tomorrow?
I want to understand the schedule somewhat changed.
You may be on a tighter schedule than you expected,
and it may conflict with maybe some of the scheduled guests with other appearances that they're supposed to.
So here's the deal.
We're trying to make a play.
There was a lot of miscommunication on one side of things here, not on the other.
And there was a mishearing, I think.
Nope.
I think there was a right hearing misstated situation happening.
Correct.
And there was some things that we thought we were going to be able to do that we're definitely not going to be able to do.
We're getting evicted at a certain time each day.
Zito's used to this, but Zito also has to pack up everything.
We have a computer, three screens, three cameras,
a 12-foot-tall scoreboard, a 10-foot-tall set and repeat.
10 to 20 cords.
10 to 20 cords that plug in on opposite sides of the building.
And we got to pack that all up in five minutes and get it the fuck out
because there's other people coming in.
Not just anybody.
Jim Brown.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Jim Brown, a legend, NFL legend.
I appreciate him.
I'm sure he wasn't a part of the evicting of us.
I would assume that he's not a part of that.
I assume that wasn't his decision.
So for those listening at home, we— Jim can't swing a golf club right now. I'm sure he wasn't a part of the evicting of us. I would assume that he's not a part of that. I assume that wasn't his decision.
So for those listening at home.
Jim can't swing a golf club right now.
He's going to have a moment.
Not a moment.
Probably a foundation thing.
Something.
He's going to do something.
We were set up at Topgolf because Topgolf offered up some bays, I guess.
I think we're paying for them.
So I don't know if they offered up bays. I think we're paying for them somewhere, the bays for Topgolf offered up some bays, I guess. I think we're paying for them. So I don't know if they offered up bays. I think we're paying for them somewhere, the bays for Topgolf.
And I thought we were just going to be given a couple bays for the entire week.
Like, here, these are your bays.
Just hang out.
So I was reaching out to a lot of people, a lot of big-name people.
Like, hey, anytime you have free time, just come through.
We've got this Wranglers Celebrity Charity Shootout going on.
Try to win $10,000 for a charity. No big deal. Just come through. Everybody got this Wrangler celebrity charity shootout going on. Try to win $10,000 for
a charity. No big deal. Just come through. Everybody's busy down here. Everybody's selling
something. Everybody's at an event. It's a Super Bowl. It's just a networking situation. So then
we get here today. We can't be in until a certain time. We got to be out in an exact time. We got
to move everything. And it's just, it's not anywhere near what we expected. And I thought
we were going to just get an Airbnb and play office golf with
all these people for charity.
We're going to play dog with these people in our backyard.
And we would have been able to film it.
It would have been easy.
It would have been simple.
And then we got involved with top golf here and it's becoming quite a,
I mean,
it's a lot going on.
It's going to be good though.
I mean,
we got Tim Tebow is coming.
So that,
I mean,
we're going to be able to create something good. Yeah. I think Rex Ryan, a lot going on. It's going to be good, though. I mean, we've got Tim Tebow is coming. So, I mean, we're going to be able to create something good for Tim Tebow.
I love that guy.
Yeah.
I think Rex Ryan, Joe Tessitore.
Joey T.
Herschel Walker.
Travis Kelsey, I think.
Shaleve.
Shaleve.
Ryan Shazier.
Yeah.
I think.
Oh, I don't know.
I think there's a couple more pretty big people coming.
Maybe.
But we don't have the internet.
We can't go live.
So, the internet isn't good enough there either.
So we're going to record it and release it as they go.
So they'll come out sporadically through the day
on all the social media channels.
I'm excited for it.
And then we're creating stuff for DAZN too,
which should be a lot of fun.
I think that's going to be a really good time.
We should get a fungo bat or something for Tebow.
See if he can crank a couple of the net.
Golf balls out there is a pretty good idea.
What's that? With a baseball bat.
Oh, you want to do this? So maybe we set it up
for Tebow so you can get a swing in or two?
Yeah, I think it's a good idea.
I like to try to strike Tebow out.
With a golf ball?
Okay, so we'll just be throwing golf balls around?
So we'll just... I wish balls around. So we'll just...
I wish we would be able to do that somehow.
I think we should think about getting him a bat though.
See if he can just toss it up and get it over the net.
Yeah, like a pitching coach.
Yeah, we can do soft toss, soft toss.
Let's go, Timmy.
Timmy Tebow about to be in the majors.
Should be a lot of fun.
We're going to make a lot of really good shit,
but it is nowhere near what we thought it was going to be. I think that's accurate. That of really good shit, but it is nowhere near what we thought it was going to be.
I think that's accurate.
That's classic.
But this hotel, a lot better than we thought it was going to be.
Very nice people.
So I think we're –
You count your wins and losses.
Yeah, you have to in this game.
In this technology game, you have to.
I can say most certainly several cults have been formed within this room.
We're in a very creepy room.
It's a very creepy room.
I mean, there's – Definitely a few AA classes. Definitely a very creepy room. It's a very creepy room. I mean, there's...
Definitely a few AA classes.
Definitely a few of those.
There's definitely...
This feels like the...
What's that movie where Brad Pitt fights himself?
Fight Club.
One of those meetings.
One of those meetings happens in here.
People who are trying not to kill themselves.
They come here to cheer up.
That was the meeting.
That was the meeting.
Whoa, whoa.
We're talking ones and twos here. I'm just talking about the movie. What? Just go to the closet. That was the meeting. Whoa, whoa. We're talking ones and twos here.
I'm just talking about the movie.
What?
Just go to the closet.
It was a nice little...
Are you kidding me?
It was a nice meeting room where people talk about the meanings of life.
Someone say, get in the closet.
And why to stay alive.
Probably boxing.
This is a positive show.
Very positive.
Just talking about the movie.
This is a positive show.
Trying to paint a picture of the room for everybody.
She's talking about the movie.
This is a positive show.
Trying to paint a picture of the room for everybody.
We are balls deep in our first press conference here for the State of the Podcast.
Boys, how do you think it's going?
Great.
Amazing.
We do it more often.
Later in the show, we will be telling you exactly where to put your money on the big game this weekend. And let us tell you why we are so confident that we're not only going to have you gamble your money.
We're going to have you gamble your money we're
gonna have you double your money because there is an app that lets you know everything you need to
know when it comes to sports gambling and that's the action network the action network is a one-stop
shop for everything you need to know digs what does it tell you it tells you not only who you're
betting on who you should bet on but when you should bet on, but when you do bet on them, it gives you updates on your phone. It's just the best app around.
And there's a lot of people that write articles on there that tell you exactly why you should bet
where. So if there's people that make a living off of gambling, why don't you listen to what
they say and they can help you out. You don't have to take their bets. Don't be a copywriter.
Hey, you don't have to do what they got to do, but you should take their thoughts and take it
with your own. Todd's been using this Action Network for about a month and a half now.
Yeah, I love it.
You are on a run of what is the record? NBA, I think I'm somewhere
around 35 and 16 or something like that. Oh my, and we're rolling in the cash. Todd can barely
survive. He's losing weight like you haven't seen before, but he's still making money because the
Action Network is helping him out. Also, this weekend for the big game you can compete in a prop contest that i put together it is free to do and you can win a thousand dollars
all you gotta do is answer five quick questions for the brand five easy questions for the brand
it takes like a minute and 20 seconds to answer these questions i did it's nice it is it's not
bad questions are good they're fun ones or something you haven't thought about a lot
involving punting returning the whole thing julian edelman gets a mention in there uh and go and win a thousand
dollars if you got a good brain and while you're there go ahead and read the edge subscription
which gives you everything you need to know to make yourself a better gambler because it's not
gambling it's investing when your brain is good oh yeah wow it's not gambling it's investing when
your brain is good it's really nice invested I think that should be the tagline for them
I think you're right
That's something they should think about
Shit the cops are here
Really?
Great
Lights on?
Yep
Oh yeah pull over
Someone may have called the cops on us
It's possible
Half the last year
There's a guy that's been living here for a year
We didn't exactly get permission to be in this room did we?
No
I always love if this cop just comes right
I think there's a cult
starting in room 232
Gorman is guilt tripping the police

Hey, let's go back to the conversation we were having about that one thing.
Yeah.
It's good. it's good it's good pat pat question oh yes uh nick miraldo public figure i hope that's back you know what i haven't heard about in a while is crossfit i don't know what's going on with
crossfit i don't know where it's been but it seems to fall in out of favor with most people
you don't hear about as much anymore is it not as cool anymore are we past it are we all clear i
think what happened is you had a lot of people that were like against what everybody else is
doing that loved crossfit and then crossfit got too popular so by ipso facto the people that like
doing stuff that isn't popular made something popular so then they had to get away from it
that's what i think they became what they had to get away from it that's what
i think they became what they hated yeah yes exactly i think that's what happened also i think
um i think the boxes kind of had their run i think people enjoyed it and now they're out
there's still some real crossfit people though there was a guy that was um i think he was on
our flight out here he sat right in front of you he had a like a country club shirt but his crossfit box shirt like a polo like he was repping yeah it was very tight he had huge calves that dude
fucking doing it on the stair step i think craft breweries are running into the same problem yes
same group of people same group of people i think so it's just like the hipster dressing right like
they all dress whenever you're all trying to dress different but you all dress the same what are you
doing what's happening oh it's a lot of questions pink hair by the way all dress. Whenever you're all trying to dress different, but you all dress the same, what are you doing? What's happening?
Oh, that's a lot of questions.
Pink hair, by the way.
Trendy.
Oh, wow.
Now you're the popular one.
Wow.
You.
Oh, sellout.
Isn't there a CrossFit gym right near our office?
Yep.
I do.
Several. There's one right by my house.
Really?
Yeah, there's like 10 of them.
There's one two blocks from here as well.
There are actually no regular gyms anymore.
Are you CrossFitting?
No, no.
I wouldn't last a day.
I'm also kind of scared to go into those classes,
by the way.
You could do pull-ups, right?
Yeah.
Very intense.
You throw your whole body into it.
And I think it's very much like
you look bad in front of,
you can look bad in front of people.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's why I would never go.
They make fun of you.
But I think it's like
a lot of like Olympic-style lifts,
isn't it?
So I'm sure you would be able to.
Whatever ruins your organs.
They also run around
the building sometimes, too.
Yeah, if you do too much cross-Fit, you ruin your organs and you die.
There were a lot of people getting seriously injured doing CrossFit.
I think it's ligaments.
Organs?
Organs.
You're telling me people's kidneys were hurting after doing CrossFit?
Someone back me up here.
I mean, you do enough deadlifts, your kidneys are going to hurt eventually.
I thought people were blowing out their shoulders.
I thought Mr. CrossFit was going to die from organ failure.
Ladies and gentlemen, Alan Quay Shipley.
Hey, what do you think about CrossFit?
I think it's the worst thing on planet Earth.
Why is that?
I don't know.
I'm so sick of all the acronyms.
Go to the box.
I can do my 12-minute AMRAP.
Stop it.
Do you think you would be successful in a CrossFit box, bro?
I would run everybody in that CrossFit box out.
Is this a CrossFit group right here?
What do we got here?
He's FaceTiming.
He just saw our cult room that we are currently doing a show from uh digs has a
stat he'd like to read before you got on here he said that people's organs fail whenever you do
crossfit and i called him out on it and i believe he has a fact to shove in my face research has
connected crossfit to rhabdomyliosis a condition in which a breakdown of muscle tissue causes damaging protein release into the blood.
This protein can cause kidney failure or even death.
Yeah, rhabdos, no.
That's like CTE for your blood, right?
That's what it sounds like, little protein pieces.
Don't do CrossFit.
Hey, Dix, by the way, good medical fact.
Thank you.
I knew I heard it somewhere.
How do you think your protein is doing in your blood, Bub?
Are you not a CrossFit blood or what?
No, this football thing takes a toll too.
I can't walk every morning.
Not good.
Not good.
I don't think my proteins are good.
Hey, do you have a question?
We're in a State of the Podcast press conference right now,
live from a cult room.
I'm going to give you guys breaking news in case you guys wanted it.
Letang just scored.
Pens are up 4-0.
Let's go.
Nice.
And that's hockey talk.
That's hockey talk.
Do I have a question?
Yeah, what time do I need to be at Topgolf?
Okay, we just talked about this.
You got to be here between 12 and 4
one minute later, no good.
One minute earlier, no good. 12 to
4. Any day.
Saturday we stop.
So not on Sunday. So Thursday, Friday, or
Saturday. Alright, yeah, I can do that.
I'll be there. I'm telling you, don't be
fucking late. Don't even think about being a minute late.
We get kicked out of there for Jim Brown.
He's a big deal.
We're getting evicted from our goddamn bay for that guy,
which I respect. He's a huge deal.
He's a big deal.
I agree completely.
I'm honored to be getting kicked out of our bay
for Jim Brown, to be honest.
Who do you think's going to win?
The Super Bowl? Yeah.
I think it's going to go to overtime, so America gets free wings from your friends at Buffalo Wild Wings.
That was an alley-oop right there.
That was an alley-oop.
Look at you playing a little basketball.
That's basketball talk.
I think the Patriots are going to win in overtime.
All right.
I hope that's the case.
I want some wings.
Are the Patriots going to win?
Who do you think is going to win and why?
I think the Patriots are going to win.
Here's the reason why.
Okay.
I think the Patriots are going to win because I feel like once you give Bill Belichick two weeks to prepare for just about anybody, it lights out.
He lost to Nick Foles last year.
He lost to Nick Foles.
So that's why I'm going to go on to my next point.
Here's my next point.
Tom Brady has posted more
on social media. He looks like he's
in a much looser place than he's
ever been in his entire career, which means
watch out for everybody else. That's my
thing. He's catching that ball this year with all
he's got. He's rapping Bad Boys for Life.
He's catching that ball. That's real swag.
I agree. I mean, he mic dropped
in front of 40,000 people in a send-off party.
After starting a chant.
I mean, he's doing it.
Yeah, he's living life.
Goff has got no fucking shot.
Good for him.
None.
You know what, though?
What if they win, though?
What if they win?
Yeah, because playing up in Foxborough is a nightmare for real.
And also, it won't be crazy, crazy loud like it was in New Orleans,
which means McVay will be able to talk to him all the way up until the finish.
That might have swung me, by the way.
The little kid genius running the strings over there.
What do you got, Zuta?
Question for AQ here.
How many wings can you eat in one sitting?
How many wings can you eat in one sitting? What was that? Repeat that, Pat. How many wings can you eat in one sitting?
Oh, I've
actually done kind of
something like a challenge like that before.
I've done
50 in a sitting.
50? Wow.
A couple buckets. I think I can do 50 in a sitting.
Yeah, I feel like I could have done more,
but I mean, that's still a pretty impressive amount.
Follow up to that? I honestly don't know
Is there sauce on it or is it dry rub
Yeah there's a sauce on it
Drums or flats
Both
Drums or flats
Mix
I go all drums
I'm hammering out all drums
One side or the other
Alright we gotta go back to the state of the podcast.
Well, all right.
I hope the rest of the world's doing well
on your State of the Union address.
No, it's just a podcast.
We just control what we can control.
Control the controllables.
Stay in your lane, right?
Stay in your lane.
That's right.
You're absolutely right.
All right.
See you, buddy.
Hey, he's like an idiot.
He's the best.
Smart idiot.
Yeah.
Smart. That was. Yeah. Smart.
That was fucking great.
Is this a little podcast meeting or a little CrossFit meeting?
Yeah, it does feel like we're in a cold area.
What about Ty?
Ty Schmidt at McAfee Inc.
Just curious, Pat, which guests that you were the most excited for,
are you depressed now that only about 45 minutes is available at top golf
good question that's a great question herschel walker's one that i think we're gonna have to
literally like squeeze in somehow and i feel like such an asshole for saying that but it's a real
thing like we're gonna have to squeeze herschel walker was a bobsledder, a fighter. I think he's a – Taekwondo champion.
Sprinter, Taekwondo champion.
He did the –
Pretty good football player.
Obviously, football player, Heisman winner.
He is like one of the most accomplished.
Him and Dion are like the two dudes that are like the two dudes.
By the way, I can't wait to see the prime.
Oh, yeah.
What is it called?
Don't play?
Double two sports.
You get it.
It's on tonight.
Yeah.
I can't wait to see it, though.
I've been seeing the promotion.
Dion's that dude, I think.
And so is Herschel Walker, though.
I heard he's a speed golfer.
Speed golfer?
Yeah.
That's my type of golfer.
Like, what's his name?
Mark Wahlberg.
There it is.
Mark Wahlberg golfs an entire round in 45 minutes.
Pretty impressive.
He's got so much shit to do in a day.
He doesn't have all the time in the world.
Speaking of not having a lot of time in the world and making the most of it,
Bad Boys 3 is like fully filming.
I saw Will Smith and Martin Lawrence on it.
You saw them?
Yeah.
There's photos.
Photos of them filming.
They look old.
Excuse me?
They look like shit.
It's Bad Boys 3.
It's not Bad Boys negative one.
I know.
They should have filmed it 20 years ago.
Will Smith's still cut up.
Yeah, he is, isn't he?
Did you see him going through the gun training too?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
You can spin it.
I want to do that.
What's that?
Gun training.
I think you should.
I think it's something we should have thought about years ago.
I would also like to do it, though, because I think
there's simulators or simulations
where you can go in and actually
shoot at either targets that
pop up and stuff like that. Todd, is that a real thing?
Yeah, shoot houses. They set them up for you.
You go through with the simulation and targets
pop up. Is that a John Wick thing?
Yeah, that's how Keanu is unbelievable
with a gun. It would be
so cool to do that.
Yeah, for sure.
To become like a James Bond.
I think you have a thing at Atterbury for it.
We should do that as a bonding experience.
Can we make like a house?
Yeah, we can make one.
I don't know.
Hey, Jay.
We'll use the pub.
Yeah, yeah.
Pobketon.
Oh, the pub.
I don't want to roll my ankle in the fucking living room.
I think Jay's house maybe turns into a shoot house.
There we go. Jay, it's only from turns into a shoot house. There we go.
Jay, it's only from 12 to 4.
No earlier, no after.
You got to use those lights that go like really bright.
Yeah, flashlights.
Strobe lights.
Strobe lights, there you go.
Strobe lights.
What, to simulate like a flashbang?
Hey, people really get like, the strobe light with epilepsy gives real props.
Can mess you up
that and Japanese cartoons
yep anime
they gotta warn you
if there's something like that
in a movie too
before the movie starts
all the police
fast lights
the mags
have a setting for strobe
so you can fuck people up
so you can stun them
like when you go in a house
you flash the strobe
and it fucking
fucks up your senses
for a second
well your pupils
are so dilated
from all the coke
that you can't feel throughout the light.
Yeah, it's really tough to see anything.
Anyway, he's probably messing up their vertigo, too.
Whenever you ever go, you ever go frogging, Todd?
No, never.
Okay, so in Louisiana, I went hogging and frogging in one day with a guy named Bubba.
This is a true story.
I have video of it.
The hogging thing was kind of crazy because they sent in two bay dogs to go find these things.
They had GPSs on them.
And then once the bay dog find them, they're like hound dogs.
They howl.
And then they let out the pit bulls that go and basically tackle the hog.
And then the humans come behind it, hog tie, drag them out, and then give them away for whatever.
So I guess hogs are like a rat down in Louisiana.
They're just like considered rats, basically.
So they didn't kill them.
They just catch them and get rid of them.
It was a wild scene, though, because that hog was not happy.
I mean, it was not a happy hog.
It was a very loud hog.
So the hound dog just gets tagged out?
Yeah, basically.
So their job, they just kind of dance with the hog.
Their job is to find it.
And then these pit bulls, it kind of,
it's a great team effort.
Yeah,
it was,
they tackle like they,
they actually like grab it and like tackle it all.
It was like some of the most athletic shit I've ever seen in my entire life.
And then I,
I,
it was tough for me to get involved.
There's a lot of noises coming from over there.
How many dogs are they sending out there?
Four altogether.
So it was two and two pack.
Yeah.
But I don't know. I don't know how much the hound dogs and the bulls fuck with each other.
I think they're two different gangs.
Okay.
I think they're two different gangs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But anyways, that was in the morning at like 5 a.m.
So then that night at like 9 p.m., we went on like a swamp down there,
and we went frogging, and they gave me these garbage cans
that looked like the American Gladiator cylinders. You know what what i mean so you because you had to push through so nothing could
come back up it was like you had to slip through and we would go on this boat and there was like
gators and shit you see their eyes popping up it was like middle of the night in louisiana on a
swamp i was like bro this is probably it for me i'm probably fucking just me and a goddamn guy
just me and bubba and one like one cameraman i didn't know but you would take a flashlight and then you would shoot it at
the frog's like chest because it had a big white chest when it was standing on the side it would
freeze if the light was on it and then you would grab it right and then you would put it in the
cylinder but the frog was not happy so that thing's is trying to get out. And there are these big bull frogs, too.
Like, they're fucking, like, this big.
They get fucking huge.
Huge.
So I got real good, though, with finding them.
I got LASIK, you know?
So I fucking, I was having, like, these little fucking, like,
sniper shots with the flashlight.
I'm like, boom, right there.
And then once you grab it, though, like, for the first time,
I, like, looked at them.
I'm like, oh, I feel so bad.
I feel so bad.
Slippery fellas?
Yeah, yeah, they're real slippery,
but they also look just like happy little guys.
So the first one I got, I looked at it,
I dropped it, it jumped off the thing.
Bubba's chewing my ass out.
He's like, we ain't got cup dandy.
He's like, give me some real shit.
So then I would start sniping them,
but I would say I couldn't grab them.
So it was tough. It was an interesting day. Was it I would say I couldn't grab them so it was tough
it was an interesting day
was it a shaky boat too?
no no
it was pretty good
it was pretty good
it was one of them
fishing boats
you know
who?
John Boat
yeah it was a
what?
like a whaling?
with the little
trolley motor in the back
yes that's exactly
what it was
it was called Giggins
isn't it?
yeah
no Giggins
was a stick
yeah I wouldn't
I wouldn't have been
able to do that to be honest I would not have been able to do that, to be honest.
I would not have been able to do that.
Because when I grabbed him, I even made eye contact.
I was like, eh.
Yeah.
You're about to go in and drop him.
Good time.
Flashlights, they'll fuck you up.
Yeah, they will, man.
They almost stun a person.
You get hit in the eyes with one of those things, you're like, what the fuck?
Jeffrey Gorman.
Hey, Pat.
Jeff Gorman,ava Gould stalwart
stalwart
not a regular
my question to you is
were the GoPro cameras up
on the 8 hour drive
of one
Zito
and Tim McAfee
and did we get any
was there any sort
of stories
that have developed
over the last couple hours
that we don't know about
I think Zito slept the entire time.
It's a great question.
The only updates I got were from BlockDad1 on Twitter posting pictures of Zito passed out in the driver's seat.
Just a terrible, horrendous co-pilot.
Can I define myself here?
Sure.
I will say, before every exit, I would fall asleep.
It was 100 miles.
I would take a little nappy nap, wake up.
We only missed one exit.
There's thousands of exits.
There's four or five.
Hold on.
Oh, you mean exits that you took?
Yeah.
Oh, not the actual exits themselves.
You're talking about next turn.
Exactly.
He only slept 500 miles on the trip.
So in your mind,
you're like,
listen,
my job's done for at least another hour and 40 minutes.
Yeah.
Strategic naps.
I like to call it.
And,
we didn't have the right attachments to put the thing on the window.
So no filming of you guys.
That's great.
That's really good.
I'm happy that happened.
You guys will be on the way home.
You're driving together.
That'll be post the weight loss challenge competition,
which you could potentially win. We don know hot todd is looking smaller and smaller
by the day his glasses are four sizes too i'm dying when he posts photos he's a real asshole
now too he looks like i mean he's he hasn't eaten they both told me what their they think their
weights were at dinner today and i did the math i don't know if they plan this, but they are the exact same percentage right now.
Really?
Exact same.
Hey, this is what we need here.
Actually, breaking news as well.
The scale did not make it all the way, but Todd has another one.
What do you mean it didn't make it?
I brought it back out.
For some reason, I weighed in at like 167.
Unless that's true, I'm really happy.
But it might have froze to death, the scale.
So it's here.
It's here, yeah.
No, we just got to warm it back up.
I don't know.
I put it under the heater.
It sounds like he doctored it a little bit.
Wait, we can't.
This is a pretty vital part of this whole thing is the scale.
Sounds like he tried to fix it and scam it a little bit.
Well, it works both ways if I did try doctoring it.
We don't know that.
That's true.
We don't know what happened.
And Todd said, don't worry, I brought the scale. He said, I brought my own scale.
Todd, I don't know. An unsanctioned scale?
Huh? Unsanctioned?
No, it's just for my training that I'm
doing at night. Oh, of course.
I respect that because Todd needed to keep up.
Yeah. Zito just broke the scale
though. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing
if I stepped on it and I broke it.
I just don't know what happened here.
So we got no filming and a broken scale.
This was a failed trip or a good trip?
Pretty good.
I got a good backstory on all the rest of the equipment.
Did you ever find the pizza under your seat?
What pizza?
I put a pizza underneath your passenger seat.
I put a pizza underneath his seat when we were loading the gear in there,
and it's been there ever since I didn't even notice it.
I didn't even know.
He's just falling asleep with that shit.
I was having good dreams, though.
Are you taking any pills at the moment?
Any amphetamines?
What is an amphetamine?
Just say yes.
Are you taking any uppers?
Amphibian.
Yeah, amphibian.
It's like a fish.
There is four pills I'm on right now.
One I've said already when I'm on a caffeine pill.
The other three is undisclosed.
Dandelion, whatever.
You're on that, right?
You're on the dandelion whatever.
Oh, that's your opponent doing some...
I have.
I mistakenly said that.
So you're on two other pills that you won't tell us?
Yeah.
I already knew about the dandelion thing,
but you already fucked it up
because you're not supposed to take it
to the last two days.
Oh, that's called weight loss shit talk.
The first thing he gave it to me said 36 hours.
That works perfect.
Yeah, you guys are learning a lot about the weight loss.
Hey, Todd, he did find the pizza.
Oh, did he?
Oh, okay.
Nice.
Wow.
Don't you lie about it. Wow. See, he lies so much. Did I physically find the pizza. Oh, did he? Nice. Wow. Don't you lie about this.
See?
He lies so much.
Did I physically find the pizza?
Tim McAfee found it.
What are you saying?
Well, Gorman was just implying that he ate it.
Yeah.
Oh, whoa.
No, no, no.
That's what Gorman just said.
I overheard you before we got kicked out of Topgolf today
when you said, and somebody put a pizza underneath myself.
Oh, because I brought it up
during that situation.
Oh, okay.
Anyways, Dixie.
Tony DiGuglio,
Paisan Press Post-Gazette.
What was it again?
Was it the Paisan Press Post-Gazette?
Yeah.
Okay.
If you could just touch on your...
Times.
The Paisan Press Post-Gazette Times.
Yep.
If you could just touch on your day at uh
media row radio row today hey radio row is pretty cool there i haven't done that in a long time uh
buffalo wild wings is the reason why i was there shout out to them huge shout out to them um i
enjoyed it i got a chance to talk to uh clay travis and we actually have the audio for it i will say this going into it i have never met this man
and it's obvious very early that he has never met me either everybody i know though has an opinion
on him a strong one so going into the interview i'm like i can't wait to hear why because i've
never listened to him i see him on the internet every once in a while somebody retweet him and I see him in his room and I just don't have the attention span to click on it for
some reason but everybody that I talked to has an opinion on him and then I got to sit down and it
was it got brought up pretty quick I mentioned I mentioned it very early they that that truth
that fact yeah and I think it was an okay conversation with the guy there you go here it is
that fact. And I think it was an okay conversation with the guy. Here it is.
Pat McAfee.
That's unbelievable.
You ever have somebody go 0 for 2? Well, and then you had to pat
yourself on the back. Like, I have so many ads I have
to read. You're so rich. You say my name
wrong and then you brag about how rich you are
in the first 30 seconds I'm here.
It's an honor to be here. Most people
would think this is a really awkward start
to the conversation, but this is so much better.
We were talking off the air than the conversation that I had with that girl
last night at the aquarium.
Yeah.
I literally started with FU.
I love that, though, by the way, because I was going to ask you during this.
I've never met you officially.
Right.
I've seen you on the Internet.
Yes.
I enjoy the way you go about handling your business.
I think it's an incredible.
I appreciate that.
We've never met, but I also am impressed by what you've done. Hey, you got a nice beard. Yeah, we got it. There we go.
But everybody always has an opinion of Clay Travis. And then as soon as I sit here,
I hear the story of you going to try to enjoy a whale shark last night. It was unbelievable,
the whale shark in the Georgia Aquarium. And then a lady just popped off and said she hated
everything about your soul, basically. And I'm like i'm like wow clay this is like something i was going to ask about and it just got thrown into it yeah and
she said in addition to the fact that f you to start the conversation she said also that the
that she was not happy to be at the aquarium because all the fish were oppressed and i was
like i'd never really have put the word oppression in conjunction with a fish before but now that i
think about it like the oppressed fish would be an amazing band name or something, right?
If you were out there trying to think of a name for your band,
your high school kid going to school this morning, there you go,
the oppressed fish.
You can cite me when you become a superstar.
Well, I think every time you throw a fish in there like Hootie,
I mean, Hootie and the Blowfish is an incredible name.
Fish is something you can tag at the end of any band name,
and it's normally going to do well for you.
But you also got to think, those oppressed fish, those fish are doing a life sentence in there you know what i mean they
don't get back out nobody thinks about that whale shark being in there for his entire life in there
you know unless you get a nemo situation where they escape uh you know they had that that that's
a great movie but uh but other outside of the film universe very unlikely uh so uh you live in
indianapolis for people who don't know you you uh are a punter. We have Brett Kern is a good friend of mine.
He loves you.
Like you're always out there for the brand.
Today, let's start this because they always get upset if I don't do it.
You're here for Buffalo Wild Wings.
Yeah, Buffalo Wild Wings has asked me to come chit-chat about what they have going on.
And basically, if the Rams and Patriots goes to overtime, which is what we're all banking on happening,
NFC game, AFC game went to overtime.
Now if the big one goes to overtime,
Buffalo Wild Wings is giving out free wings to America,
and that is honestly something I think everybody can get behind,
whether you love Tom Brady or hate him,
whether you think the 12-year-old McVay is going to do well or not.
I think the free wings opportunity, everybody should be banking on overtime,
and that's what we're here for, just to spread awareness
that there's some free damn wings on the line here whenever these two teams step onto the field well
now you've got a beard a little bit like me yeah average but you don't have sleeves on right now
and i gotta be honest you got a little cobra kai look going here johnny with if you didn't have
the beard you'd have a definite johnny from uh karate kid look going here see i've never seen
the movie you've never seen karate kid not once in my life, but I get it. The kid did the thing, the crane thing.
I get it.
What is the reason why you haven't watched Karate Kid?
So when I was a child, I've been learning this with my adventures with my friends on my show.
So we do a lot of talking about obviously relevant things.
My childhood, I had such bad ADD, I think, like ADHD.
You wouldn't watch movies?
No way.
I had no time for that.
I honestly have no clue how anybody did had no time for that I honestly have no
clue how anybody did it and I know that I've missed an entire chapter of my life you got to
go back in time and just look at all this so that's one of the great things I've got three
boys is taking them back and watching you know the back to the future movies like all of the
movies that I grew up watching including Karate Kids they love them like they think the 1980s is
the greatest time on the planet, right?
Yeah.
And it's really cool to see through their eyes again and also recognize how awesome so many of those movies are.
I'm jealous of your kids now.
Oh, they have an unbelievable life.
I'm jealous of my kids.
I'm jealous of my kids and my wife.
They have unbelievable gigs.
The thing about your kids is they aren't oppressed fish.
So they are going to live a great life.
It's going to be good news everywhere.
And they can leave, right?
They don't have to stay in the same place their entire life.
Now, I'm always curious with kickers.
When did you recognize that you had a powerful leg?
When you were like five, were you like, I can kick the ball a lot better than anybody else?
Yeah, so in soccer, I always had a stronger leg than anybody else.
Just naturally.
Yeah, so instead of watching movies and all that stuff when I was a kid,
I would honestly, my hobby was to kick a soccer ball against the side of my house so to drive your parents crazy they yeah it drove them crazy but
it got me out of the house so they had to listen to a thump but it was nice to not have me around
I think for a long time and uh whenever I was a teenager I was playing in a soccer game it was
indoor soccer game it's called futsal and the ball is a little bit heavier right yeah it's like a
smaller ball it's a little heavier I broke the goalie's arm right with a shot right so bing bang
boom and I think that was really the day that everybody was like this kid's leg is pretty So it's like a smaller ball. It's a little heavier. I broke the goalie's arm, right, with a shot. So bing, bang, boom.
And I think that was really the day that everybody was like,
oh, this kid's leg is pretty strong.
And then kind of one thing moved to another.
And the first time I kicked a football, I kicked a 60-yard field goal.
And then it was just kind of from there.
Just naturally.
It was a business decision, yeah, with my family.
Like instead of playing soccer, let's focus on taking three steps
and making money as opposed to seven miles.
So that was kind of the decision.
I got real lucky.
So did you start playing in high school then?
Yeah, junior year of high school.
And you'd never played football before that?
No, and I never went to practices either because soccer was supposed to be the thing.
I was supposed to play soccer.
I had a lot more universities and colleges looking at me for soccer than for football.
I wouldn't go to practice.
I'd just show up with the fans on Fridays, kick.
Our football team wasn't great.
But I generated a little bit of interest.
Went to a college kicking camp after my senior year.
Made a 65-yard field goal.
Missed a 70-yard field goal wide right.
The next day, I had an offer to West Virginia University
in my cafeteria of high school, and I was like, yep.
Heard it's a great time in Morgantown, which I enjoyed having,
and they offered me a full scholarship.
I was like, let's go.
Did you ever burn a couch?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We won a lot, Clay.
There was a lot of celebrating there.
There was a lot of celebrating.
And I was a very small factor on a very good team.
Yeah.
So I got to reap the benefits of, like, Pat White and Steve Slayton
being incredible football players.
Did you overlap with Pac-Man at all?
Pac-Man was the year before me, but he used to come back and train in the summer.
So I know the Pac-Man pretty well. I know the Pac-Man at all? Pac-Man was the year before me, but he used to come back and train in the summer, so I know the Pac-Man pretty well.
Yeah.
I know the Pac-Man pretty well.
So I always think of Morgantown, West Virginia, which is an awesome place,
and I think we're on there as well.
It is, but—
I always think of it as, like, Deadwood, right?
Like, it's like this crazy hidden place, like the idea that Chris Henry and Pac-Man Jones were there,
and basically, I know they got in a little bit of trouble, but didn't get in that much trouble,
and then they suddenly emerged.
Like, their dead body's just buried on the hills outside of Morgantown, right? I'm not sure of that. and basically, I know they got in a little bit of trouble, but didn't get in that much trouble, and then they suddenly emerged.
Like, their dead body is just buried on the hills outside of Morgantown, right?
I'm not sure of that.
Have you seen Deadwood?
I could have looked like a dead body on a few occasions there in Morgantown,
but I have not seen Deadwood, but I get it.
Dead wood.
I'm assuming it's bodies in the woods.
Actually, they don't have a lot of woods on Deadwood.
It's awesome.
They're making a movie now.
You watch television now?
Are you watching now, or do you still have the ADHD thing? You know what?
I mean, I dive into some stuff.
I saw the Ted Bundy tapes.
Oh, how was that?
It was interesting.
I haven't watched it.
Terrible human, man.
It's been interesting how the pop culture has talked about Ted Bundy,
but I watch a lot of documentaries.
Yeah.
Have you watched the Fyre Festival documentary?
Oh, yeah.
Come on, Billy McFarland.
Let's go.
How about Andy King, by the way?
That guy's a real one.
He was a loyal guy. Anything for water for old Billy McFarland. Let's go. How about Andy King, by the way? That guy's a real one. He was a loyal guy.
Anything for water for old Billy McFarland.
You've got to really respect that type of guy.
What's amazing to me about the Netflix and how some of these documentaries take off is suddenly it seems like everybody has seen them.
So last night, even at the media party, the number of people who were talking about the Fyre Festival documentary blew my mind.
And it's just crazy how something could go viral like that
in terms of watching a documentary,
which I don't remember growing up at all.
I think we all remember when that Fyre Festival promotion started, right?
Like I have a guy who works for me who wanted to,
he was like trying to do things to earn a ticket to go to this, right?
Because he was all about the social media influencers.
For people who don't know, this took place in the Bahamas,
and it was going to be this huge concert, it was almost entirely private island on a private island almost
entirely promoted through IG models Instagram like influencers like but hot chicks basically
basically that's all it was sports illustrated models and IG influencers and I had a guy in my
office that wanted to go bad and I like I don't know I didn't I don't know if I didn't want to
pay for him to go or what happened something happened so whenever I fell through I was so upset that he
wasn't there like whenever there was like videos of people like stranded yes these rich white kids
like stranded on yes on an island in the Bahamas losing their minds on social media which is how
it went viral again when it didn't actually end up happening so then getting a peek behind that I
think everybody's interested in the documentaries we're in a documentary era right now because it's easy to
make it's cheap and people want to know more about more things it's like a woke society almost yeah
crazily uh and when i was growing up pressed yeah i pressed fish um when i was growing up like the
only real documentary i remember is hoop dreams right you didn't see documentaries maybe like
fahrenheit 9-11 or something like that like there are a couple of them that have gotten a lot of attention but by and large but now with
Netflix and and everything else it's like they take off and everybody suddenly is talking about
it so I'm sure a lot of people listening to us right now have seen that documentary um what do
you do now so you had uh you're so you go to West Virginia uh you have an incredible average I was
pretty good I had a really strong leg I wasn great. So what percentage of kicks would you make?
I think I was like 74%, 75%, 73% maybe.
I was in that area there.
I had a really strong leg.
Had no clue where the hell it was going.
Really?
Yeah.
So you're like a driver in golf who can get up in the tee box,
and you're going to crush it, but you have no idea where it's going to go.
Yeah, and I started literally from my freshman year first game.
So I went straight through.
So the people at West Virginia had to really go through some ebbs and flows with me,
which I appreciate them for.
But I started punting my last two years there, but it was the college rollout punt.
So we'd catch the ball.
I didn't know how to punt.
I would just run to the side.
Like the Aussie style.
Yes, exactly.
Try to get the ball on the ground and just let it roll.
I was going to hit it as hard as I can and hope it rolls.
And then Bill Polian said that he thought it was athletic
enough to figure out how to NFL punt. Right. Which is just stand there. Two steps. Yeah. He said,
I think you're athletic enough to figure it out. I was like, well, we're going to find out. I mean,
this is a nightmare decision for him. So I get drafted in the seventh round. And then a year
later, I make the team and I'm kicking off the Super Bowl and I have no clue what the hell I'm
doing. There was no reason for me to be there.
Then I just kind of worked, enjoyed my time,
and got really lucky to play eight years there.
So I think it was Vanderjack, like Peyton Manning called him an idiot kicker.
Lickered up kicker, yeah.
Or whatever it was.
Did he ever insult you, or did you have a better relationship as a punter with Peyton Manning?
I knew going in there after Vanderjack messed that up, the relationship,
I was like, okay, here we go.
Vanderjack went to West Virginia.
I went to West Virginia. I like to drink. Vanderjack likes to drink. I knew I I was like, okay, here we go. Vanderjack went to West Virginia. I went to West Virginia.
I like to drink.
Vanderjack likes to drink.
I knew I was coming in with a couple strikes against me, but he enjoyed me, I think.
I think Peyton enjoyed me a little bit.
He was the perfect teammate, to be honest with you.
When I was a rookie, he would take me to places.
Like, Peyton Manning's taking me to places.
That felt just surreal.
It was stupid.
It was just the dumbest thing ever.
I was at a Tennessee game with Peyton Manning, Bruce Pearl, Pat,
and the president of Tennessee was there,
and I was there with Peyton and Anthony Gonzalez,
who's now a sitting senator.
And I was a rookie.
I was like, there's no reason I'm supposed to be here.
But I could chug beers pretty well, so people found that impressive.
I was like a dancing monkey for people, and that was completely okay with me.
What game did you go to? Do you it was a kickoff it was the first
game of the year uh it was probably 2000 it was 2009 i don't remember what it was but the place
was incredible absolutely incredible i got to talk to the kickers before the game on the field it was
really just uh it was cool payton was way too nice to me he shouldn't have been as nice to me as he
was um how much did you enjoy being in the NFL?
I always like to ask people who are involved in special teams
because your experience is a lot different than the other guys.
So when you were actually in the NFL, were you like,
this is amazing, I love every minute of it?
What was your experience like?
Yeah, I mean, I had a lot of fun, man.
The NFL was incredible to me.
Obviously paid very well.
I got to take care of my
family, my friends, everybody who was supposed to.
I got a chance to experience a lot of
really cool things. And then towards the end,
it's like the first five, six years I loved.
Every day going to work. I loved getting better
at what I was doing. There was only 32 people
who had my job, so I was enjoying it.
I was getting good, getting very confident.
And then I started hating going to work. I just was
sick of it. What changed?
Well, I mean, the GM hated me, right?
So the GM was not a fan of mine.
He didn't like you because you drank.
He didn't like you off the field.
He didn't like your attitude.
Well, when he got there, I didn't even drink anymore because I had already gotten arrested.
He didn't like the way my Twitter was.
So I was basically, at this point, the voice of the Colts in Indianapolis.
My Twitter was large.
After I got into an alleged incident, Clay, the cops have their story, I have mine. It was public intoxication. The city of Indianapolis,
state of Indiana kind of got behind me. And my Twitter started slowly growing and growing. And
then when the new regime came in, they cut Peyton Manning, they cut everybody. So the only people
that really stayed around were me, Vinatieri, Robert Mathis, Reggie Wayne, Anthony Costanzo,
and none of them
were that active on social media. So I was literally the biggest platform coming out of the Colts.
Yep. And they weren't happy about that. The new GM did not like that I was potentially a voice
of anybody of that building. And I mean, it was, it was very, it wasn't just him. I mean, I had
three knee surgeries in like four years on my knees because they were kind of getting worn out.
It was just a lot of things. I was falling in love with what was happening off the field.
I was doing stand-up.
I was doing a lot of philanthropic stuff.
I just didn't enjoy going to work to kick balls on fourth downs anymore.
So I just was like, you know what?
Here we go.
I'm outie.
If people are enjoying this interview, they can find you where on Twitter?
It's not worth it.
Don't follow.
We have too many.
No, it's at Pat McAfeeee show and it's i used to be
better on there when i was smaller i was better now you get nervous now you overthink it or what
do you do no you can't really do much interacting because everything whenever you're and i'm sure
you get yelled at about this so if i respond to somebody who like i used to enjoy when people
would like talk trash to me yes so that because i would enjoy because as a punter you can't talk
trash there's so when i was playing soccer i could talk trash when i was playing pickup basketball
when i was a kid i could talk trash when i'm not a lot of punter trash i can't trash talk anybody
literally there's nobody i could try i am the bottom of the totem pole in the national football
league so twitter was like my escape like okay so if this guy chirps at me i could chirp him back
now i can't even do that i can't really because once i go after somebody i
have the best people in the world follow me they feel like they got attacked and now i'm the bad
guy yeah so it's like it kind of when i was smaller was a lot more fun but now i just kind
of what my observations are in life and enjoy it pat mcafee show one out of three i'd be an
all-star show too pat mcafee show unbelievable out of you clay you came in here just dumped right on my face
unbelievable so uh in addition to this you're doing a lot of stuff i think i have i need to
look up this email i think we're doing a prop contest have you heard about this were you
informed on this absolutely prop contest i'm trying to pull it up and the wi-fi you would
think of all places they would have incredible Wi-Fi here.
It is cold outside.
It's nowhere near the polar vortex over there in America.
It's like negative 50 in some places.
Yeah, I know.
We had people calling in this morning.
We're trying to figure out who the coldest was.
My heart is with you.
But Atlanta is nowhere near southern happy warm rate.
No, there's no doubt at all.
It is cold.
We had to walk four miles to get here.
It is cold outside.
It's brutal.
You know, they shut down schools yesterday because they thought it was going to snow.
I respect that.
I respect that a lot.
Just shut her down.
John Taffer in Atlanta.
They were preparing.
All right.
So here we're going to do these quickly.
All right.
Is that the way we're supposed to do it?
National anthem.
You going over or under 149?
All right.
Somebody keep track on these, Danny.
Well, I do believe, though, that studies, like people that have been watching film on her,
have been saying the under is the smart bet.
Yeah.
But I think the moment might get to where she might carry out a seek.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I think it's going to be over strictly for America.
My bookie prop contest here, point toss.
Which way are you going?
Heads, man.
Always heads?
You ever get to call the toss?
One time.
What'd you go with?
Did you win?
I went with heads.
Did you win? Yeah, with heads. Did you win?
Yeah, yeah.
I felt really good about it, too.
I mean, that was the first time I was allowed to speak, basically.
Yeah.
It was a fun moment.
What is the best hit you ever put on somebody as a punter?
Was there one guy where, like—
The Trinden Holiday hit is the biggest, because it was when Peyton came back as the Broncos.
So that Sunday Night Football was being viewed as, like, a playoff game.
It was big numbers, numbers huge hit terrible field position
so i didn't do my job well at all but i tackled trinidad holiday that blew up but before the
social media phase like back in college i was like 240 we're playing against like eastern
washington like some of these little kids and some of the returners are small yeah i used to
catch some people i used to really get some people whenever they didn't think i was coming
you ever get a concussion? I assume.
I didn't wear my strap.
I didn't wear the strap underneath, and I had terrible tackling form.
So I'm assuming that my noggin has at least been knocked a couple times.
First half spread. You think – it's a crazy stat.
The Patriots have only scored three points in the first quarter
in their eight Super Bowls so far.
The Patriots are a half-point first-half spread favorite, according to this.
I like the Patriots in the first half.
I like the Patriots in the second half.
But most importantly, I like the Patriots in overtime
because if this game goes to overtime, Clay,
Buffalo Wild Wings free wings in two Sundays from now.
I like the Patriots.
Brady, do you like him to have a lot of passing yards?
You know, 139.5 in the first half.
They got that three-headed monster in the backfieldfield and i honestly think if they can get that moving somehow
against that stout d line i think it's going to be under i think they're going to be handing the
rock off in the first half and then let tom brady take it in the second half once once they see what
the defense is doing uh total punts over seven and a half under you're going under i think it's
going to be seven uh what about the 57 yard What do you think about the missed call, by the way?
The bird boxing, man?
Yeah.
If you were on the Saints, how sick would you be?
Well, I mean, you've got to be disgusted,
especially after the Minnesota miracle happened
or Minneapolis miracle happened the year before.
Drew Brees, I think, was about to call it a day.
He hit every single record.
Yeah, I think he was about done.
He was doing a lot more of that shoulder shrug at the end of the year. He hit every single record. Yeah, I think he was about done. He was doing a lot more of that shoulder shrug at the end of the year.
He had every single record.
I assumed that this was going to be his last run.
And even if they just lose that game outright, potentially, his last run,
but after the miracle to Stephon Diggs
and then the bird box situation with them refs,
I have no idea how Drew Brees, he has to come back.
It just has to be unsettling as a Saints fan.
How often are you up early in the morning? I wake up pretty
early. You want to come on the show regularly? Because I think people
would enjoy it. Sure, man. You just get a hold of me.
Alright, we'll do that for sure.
Thank you to Clay Travis for
having me on. He has an active
Twitter. His people tweet a lot.
It was very interesting. Both sides
of the plate there on how they felt for Clay Travis.
I'm very thankful for everybody that had me on this morning.
I got a chance to talk with Florio and Sims, pro football talk.
I got a chance to talk about the best snacks.
They didn't have the mini corn dogs on there, which I think is very much, you know.
He dogged it.
He did dog the mini corn dogs.
He stinks.
Their list was suspect.
Not Florio. Not Florio.
Not Florio.
Sims.
I think he wants to be not liked, though.
Oh, he's been healed.
He's doing a good fucking job.
I think he's like a heel.
I think that's kind of his.
Yeah, I can see that.
Florio I love.
He's nice to me.
He and I, every interaction we've had have been very nice.
But I do think he plays the antagonist a little bit.
I don't think that's why I dislike him.
He's a nerd.
So you hate the nerds?
No, no.
Just him.
Oh, okay.
I love old diplomatic digs they're trying to get out of.
Yeah, I had an interesting time there.
I feel like my top six was pretty good.
I think they left a couple things off, though.
For sure.
You know what I mean?
Like, God bless your soul.
Chili didn't need to be on there.
No, chili is nowhere near something.
Granted, you guys got chili here today, though.
They gave it away, man.
They're giving away chili here.
We had a little happy hour here.
Yeah, but for a Super Bowl party.
Well, it's not a snack.
Chili's not a snack, and pizza was on there, too, wasn't it?
Those are meals. That's a snack. Chili's not a snack, and pizza was on there too, wasn't it? Those are meals.
That's a meal.
Pizza is definitely a meal.
I guess pizza roll is a thought that they could have had.
You know what I mean?
Or maybe it's like the small little square pizza.
The pigs in a blanket of pizza.
Yeah, exactly.
That's exactly what it is.
Pigs in a blanket, by the way, not on there.
Another one, my little mini McAfee wieners.
So it was weird that you did that, because coincidentally, on yesterday's Heartland Radio, I don't know what day it is. Yeah, not on there. Another one, my little mini McAfee wieners. So it was weird that you did that because coincidentally on
yesterday's Heartland Radio,
I don't know what day it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We did top snacks and
every single one of us had mini corn dogs. They're the best.
Yeah. And I think today I
Or pigs in blankets. Same
area. Do you remember honey mustard with it?
What's that? Honey mustard?
I fucked with it. I'll go honey mustard. I'll go
regular mustard and I'll go ketchup too. and i'll mix them all together too oh yeah fancy sauce it up i think
they're incredible i honestly think mini corn dogs are incredible and buffalo wild wings has
very good very good great starter plan damn good i felt good right now you know by the way i spelled
a con dog i had to add an r on the thing c-o--N. And I was like, let me slip an R in there, dog.
Just did a little R in there.
It's pretty nice.
I got to tell myself about something today I feel horrible about.
I'm excited for it.
I feel horrible about this.
I'm a 50-year-old man.
I'm an NFL fan.
You were involved in, at the time, it was FanFest?
No.
Fansided.
Fansided. Fansided, I beg your pardon.
FanFest.
Look at Gorman just taking a subtle shot at this company.
FanCited.
So I sat down, checking the phone, watching.
All of a sudden, who walks by, but everybody talks about him here,
the man from Pittsburgh, Juju Smith-Schuster.
He was.
Juju was there.
So he was there.
I look up. he's walking by
me he has two steps till he's parallel with me oh god this is bad what happened boo i put out the
fist oh no yeah how'd it go hey juju and what'd he say? Hey, man. Fist bump. Nice kid.
Nice guy.
It's nothing about him.
It was great.
He was on Undisputed.
We saw him when we were walking out.
He was on Undisputed.
Everybody's there, though.
Like, that Radio Row thing is insane.
Like, I was just about to say we saw Nick Mangold there.
Nick Mangold?
Saw Nick Mangold, and he just texted me.
He literally just texted me while this thing was.
Heard you were filming some stuff at Topgolf tomorrow.
I'm at Topgolf right now, and they spilled the beans.
Do you need an eighth wheel?
And if so, what time are you filming?
Let's go.
Here we go.
Let's go.
Did you have a limp?
Did you have a limp?
12 to 4.
He's good?
All right, good.
12 to 4.
I felt bad that I fist-bumped this 20-year-old kid.
Like, hey, like a little fanboy.
No, it's not.
I've worked with these athletes before, but it was just like.
Oh.
That's my coach.
It was just.
Oh, shit.
Tim, we call them these athletes, also known as the world's premier athletes.
Hey, Gorms, do me a favor.
Stay away from Juju.
Don't ever touch him again.
You got it, brother.
It was embarrassing to me, not to him, but I felt shame.
I talked to Chris Cooley today, too.
Original H-back.
First time I ever talked to him.
It was an interesting conversation.
He was very likable.
He's a wild card.
He's the man.
Does he have his own show?
The original H-back. interesting conversation he he seemed he was very likable he's a wild card he's the man does he have his own show the original h so no he was on tyler palumbus's show with denver bronco
big beard on the guy i didn't know him he was a nice guy though they were very it was me him
chris cooley and a guy named nick and they were all very nice but it was uh the orange and blue
channel for denver broncos clever so we were just in there chatting and as soon as i sit down that boys you know orange and blue i sit down and i start talking to cooley i'm like oh cooley man i've heard
nothing but legendary stories but like literally legendary stories about you he was like well it
depends on what you think is cool or not i'm like all right man yeah i think it's pretty cool
i give him like a fist bump you know and we're like i was like are we live or now they're like
yeah we're live i'm oh, has everybody heard that?
Okay, good.
I'm happy this just happened.
And then we have a conversation and he was an interesting dude.
He was a very interesting, he was nice, but he wasn't what I thought.
Like I thought he was going to be like a, he was kind of more like cerebral almost with
his lines.
Was he doing stuff with the Broncos or he's still with the Redskins?
I honestly have no idea.
I know he was doing like local radio for the Redskins.
Yeah, he had his own radio show.
So maybe he was there early for his show that was about to kick off
or something like that, but they asked him if he was promoting anything,
and he said, what are you promoting?
Buffalo Wild Wings.
That's what he said.
That was it.
And he had a hat on, and I was like, you're the man, dude.
You are a legend, this guy.
So it was a cool situation over there.
Everybody's there though
everybody from every i was on dallas i was on in dallas i was on in miami with two old guys
the radio show stopped seven minutes in i talked for a full 15 they didn't give me a heads up
until they said oh we were off there we went to a group
were you scheduled to these or you just walk around grabbed you? There was a couple that were scheduled.
Gorman was doing a little chit-chat with people.
Gorms, you weren't ready to run today.
Yeah, Gorms was down there glad-handing people.
He refused to go stand by certain areas of the room
because of his past professions,
but it was an interesting day.
I also got a chance to go on in Boston,
and I don't know if we found the clip or not.
We do? I got a chance to go on in boston and i don't know if we found the clip or not we do i got a
chance to go on boston this was i enjoyed this one a lot couple jim mercy stories in here yeah a
couple couple jim mercy stories from my retirement uh conversation with them these people were i
enjoyed them a lot these people these guys were good you're're going to enjoy this. Toucher and Rich. Touch and Rich.
Touch and Rips.
Tunch?
No, that's Pittsburgh.
That's Pittsburgh.
But it's close.
Ribs?
You get it.
The McRib.
You get it.
All right.
Pat McAfee is here.
Rich Shurtleib is a huge fan. Well, I'm a fan because a buddy of mine worked a DraftKings event with you at Gillette Stadium a while back.
He said he's never seen a human being consume more beer as fast as you did in their entire life.
I'll tell you what, it was very interesting to get a call to go to Gillette Stadium for something.
And I was like, yeah, let's go.
I mean, the place is always magical.
And then once I get there, I had no idea.
I had no clue what I was walking into.
We signed up for that like the day before it.
I flew up there.
And they're like, hey, we got free beer here. And I'm like, all right. And I looked around. I read no idea. I had no clue what I was walking into. We signed up for that the day before it. I flew up there. And they were like, hey, we got free beer here.
And I'm like, all right.
And I looked around.
I read the crowd.
And that was the day I learned that the New England people are my people.
Everybody was just slamming beers.
Everybody's just slamming beers.
So I was like, all right, I guess I have to do this as well.
So we just started.
And once you chug one, once somebody sees you chug one, then they would like to chug one.
So I think I might have took down like 20, 30 beers.
Oh, my God.
We had it all on film, too.
I think it was like 20, 30 beers.
And I had to punt a ball to somebody at the end of it on Gillette Stadium.
And I've had a lot of terrible moments on Gillette Stadium with the Colts.
That was by far the worst moment I've ever had.
It was awesome.
Did you have to do a panel?
Yeah, with Gronkowski, too.
It was me, Gronk, and I think Rapoport were there.
So you put it right in.
You were still the most coherent.
You were still the most coherent.
I feel like I did okay.
To be honest, I thought I was going to slur words more,
but Gronk was more intelligent than I, obviously.
It was a beautiful moment.
All right.
So you, okay, when, I think it was last year you told this story,
and it's fascinating to me because I think this guy's an a-hole.
Ryan Grigson.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Okay.
So you obviously spent some years with Ryan Grigson.
Yeah.
And the whole setup, I heard you tell the story.
I don't want you to just have to retell it again,
but he got pissed at you because you took a photo of your Instagram, right?
Yeah, so he hated me.
Literally from day one he was not a fan of mine
because whenever he came to the Colts, it was going into my fourth year.
And by that point, an alleged incident had already happened,
so my Twitter had grown pretty quickly.
And they cut everybody.
I mean, they cut Peyton Manning.
They cut all the big names, Dallas Clark, Gary Brad, you name it.
They cut everybody.
I became like the voice of the team almost
because my Twitter following was so large in Indiana. They did not
like my personality. They did not find me
funny. Ryan Grixen did not find me funny.
So from immediate jump street
he was not a fan of mine. So he was
fining me for tweets and fining me for
this and fining me for that.
And it finally just got to a point where I was done with him
and he was going to fine me for another
photo and it was like, alright,
here's the moment. I'm either going to tell him exactly how I feel because at that point I already knew I was going to find me for another photo. And it was like, all right, here's the moment. I'm either going to tell him exactly how I feel
because at that point I already knew I was going to leave for Barstool.
So I already knew I was going to leave.
It just came after the Thanksgiving game where if we didn't complete a fake punt,
we would have got shut out on Thanksgiving, like 28-0 to the Steelers.
So when he called me back to his office, I thought he was going to extend an olive branch.
I thought it was going to be like, hey, I might not have understood you for a long time.
I get your comment. Complete opposite.
He printed out a photo that I
posted on Instagram two weeks before
that. He slams it on the desk
movie style, slides it
across, tells me that I'm the reason why
we're losing games.
I was just sitting there.
What is the photo?
I was standing on an equipment there. What's the fault? What is the problem? It was me. I was standing on, like, an equipment box.
And it's kind of funny now because I do work with the WWE.
But there was an electrical outlet hanging, like a microphone, like a buffer or something like that would use.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I just held it like this, and I posted it.
And I was like, I'm just waiting for the WWE to call me for me to cut, like, the most electric promo in, like, the last 10 years or something like that.
No wonder you were losing.
Yeah, that's why we were losing.
That's what he said.
That's why we were losing.
What an incredible breach of confidentiality.
Hold on, though.
I was on a Pro Bowl year, too.
Like, I ended up making the Pro Bowl that year, but I was having, like, the best year of my career at the time.
And it was finally, at that point, I had already decided I was done.
So I went ahead and just let him know.
Like, I held up the picture, and I was like, you paid a guy $140 million, and you can't keep him healthy.
Maybe that's why we're losing.
And I said, you're worried about this.
And it just led to it.
Now, granted, Ryan Grigson, since he left the Colts, has done an interview or two where he said he lost his human side while he was a GM.
Understood, but you were in the jackass era.
You were right in the thick of it when he couldn't
have had more jackassery.
Exactly. And so I think he might, now granted, he might be
a good guy, I know. I have no idea. I haven't talked to him
since, but he and I hated each other.
And it all came to a head
in that one meeting, and I basically, yeah,
I told him to go, yeah,
fornicate himself. And I
walked out, and he fined me, he fined me, I think it was like 15 or 20 grand for that one post.
That was like two weeks before that.
And I called Chuck, right?
Chuck was my guy.
So I was going to retire before my last year, but Chuck and I went to Japan together.
And on a flight, we sat next to each other for like a long time.
Pagano.
Yeah, Chuck Pagano sat next to us all the way to Japan.
It's like 17 hours or whatever travel. And I going to retire that was going to be i was going to tell him and he like kind of talked to me now i'm like well i don't like the grigson guy like
if he he finds me for tweets like i have no problem with him just and chuck's like well what if i have
him not talk to you like what if we just we you talk to me and then i'll talk to him and then we
just i'm like perfect just tell him to leave me alone right like this guy i do my thing i'm honestly i i feel like i'm good at my job the
team likes me i'm at every meeting i work my ass off just tell that guy to leave me alone
so then this happens right and this is after this is the first time really that it's happened
so i called chuck and i let chuck have it too like right on the phone i'm like hey if you were any
part of this like you can go you can get to yourself yeah and chuck's like chuck's like what what are you talking about i'm like i just came
out of a meeting chuck and if you were a part of it i'll tell you what i'm not even gonna show up
at work tomorrow well how about that why don't you guys find a new punter for this week and chuck's
like let me figure out what's going on like chuck's like having a full panic attack so i ended up
getting fine 20 i think it was like 15 20 000 for that and never talked
to the guy again and ended up retiring on comedy central to join barstow that's great yeah but it
was uh it was a classic like he hated me he hated everything about me and i didn't like him much
either and it was just like a classic work environment where the guy who's in charge of
everything is is the worst did ursa ever invite you into his office to listen to him
play sweet tunes brother i played this guitar with john mellencamp i love jim ursae man i wish you do
because he seems to me like there's this contingent of rich people like billionaires that buy all this
stupid crap stupid you're saying him buying the Beatles' whole entire music set
for over $4 million is stupid?
Yeah, and he bought the original on the road.
Congratulations.
He lost a $250,000 guitar, too.
Just lost it.
Really?
It's like a story.
It hasn't been fact-checked,
but that is a story that I have heard through the grapevine.
Ursa lost a $250,000 guitar. I'mvine. Ursae lost the $250,000.
I'm like, how do you lose
$250,000? He's a legend, though.
Jim Ursae is a legend. But did he make you
sit there and listen to his music?
I've heard people say,
hey, man, check out this Jerry Garcia
poured barbecue sauce. Hey, he can shred,
though. He can shred on the guitar.
Really? Yeah, he's not the great walker
these days, right?
He's not moving that quick, but his fingers still got it.
Jim Marcy was a good guy.
Whenever I was going to retire, two days before I announced retirement on Comedy Central,
I went into his office to tell him, right?
I was like, I'm going to retire.
We had an hour and a half conversation, and it was a a really really cool conversation with him he still has his
assistant send me emails about uh the future of the entertainment business and like things that
i should read like like he wants me to check out ursa is a big fan of mine and i'm very lucky for
what he's done for my life my family's life and everybody else but he has a bad image everywhere
i'm trying to get him to let me shoot a documentary about him because the dude is a legend, man. Okay. Legendary.
Give me an example of something that he did that you were
just like, man, this guy's
status will never go down after
he just, if you're one of his boys,
you're just like, he just treats you
like, right, like he told me, he's like,
when you're a boss, will you be able to make the big
decisions, you know? Like, because when you
fire somebody, you're firing their whole family.
Like, what if they have a baby you're firing their baby
but
But now you're hiring somebody else in their family so now you're giving opportunity why you take it away
That's a big decision a lot of people say are you gonna be positive or negative?
You know you an optimist or pessimist because if you're an optimist
You know you see the glass half-full of optimist, you see the glass half full. If you're a pessimist, you see the glass half empty.
I always said, why don't they get a smaller cup?
The whole thing would be full then.
We wouldn't be having this debate.
And I lost it.
I was crying.
It was in the middle of the meeting, me telling him, retire.
And he's like, he's vaping or whatever.
So there's smoke coming up around him.
And I'm just crying laughing. And I was like, man's vaping or whatever. So there's smoke coming up around him. And I'm just crying laughing.
And I was like, man, this guy is awesome.
Excuse me while I kiss the devil.
He was awesome, man. I'm telling you, he's obviously he's put himself in a lot of interesting situations.
He has a lot of demons that he's been fighting for a long time.
But for the people that
he knows he takes care of people like he gave me a my pro bowl bonus which was six figures it was
very large and i didn't play in the pro bowl because i had a dislocated kneecap so they weren't
they didn't have to pay me like contractually yeah because i chose not to play in the pro bowl
i could have played i guess because the day after we lost i had a physical they're like if we had a
game on sunday could you play and i was like yeah i would play if we had a game on sunday it's a playoffs
but i dislocated kneecap and it hurt so every time i kicked or punted anything i was like bedridden
for a day so i didn't want to do it for another three weeks to wait for the pro bowl yeah i was
like you know what i made the pro bowl i'm not gonna ruin my life for another three weeks i've
already retired i'm on this new thing and the colts lawyers were like well we don't have to
pay because contract wise and then two days later i get a letter from jim mercy that's like
thank you for everything congratulations and a check for it it's like wow he just he does right
by the people that he knows and i'm very lucky to to have played underneath him on his team i'm a
huge because he was writing a check to your family it's your baby that's right so what else they take care of your dad too i saw him with some overalls on he's the best dude jim arsene is the absolute best all right well pat
we got to get sean more i mean like just calling in dude if even i would break it costs quite a bit
of money i don't care no no man honestly i was very lucky that i joined barstow right right and
i got to learn the business on the internet now Now, the issue was I was in Indianapolis
there in New York, right?
Yeah, right.
So communication was a tough thing,
especially whenever the company was growing so fast.
But I got to learn the business of the internet
from them, from a company that does well.
So we do well on the internet.
I got a small business of like 12 people,
including my dad and brother that I employ.
Cool.
And I would love to chit-chat with you guys.
Good people up here.
Hell yeah.
By the way, this game goes to overtime.
That's what I'm here for.
This game goes to overtime.
Okay?
Yeah.
If Tom wants to gift America with extra football, okay?
A little extra football and do what he did to the Falcons,
and it goes to overtime.
Free wings for America from your friends at Buffalo Wild Wings.
That's what we're all banking on.
That's what we're here for.
I do believe the Patriots are obviously going to win because
Tom Brady is on another level right now.
He has done a full heel turn
embracing the fact that he's the
greatest of all time and there's nothing anybody can
do about it. I think that the Rams
are in a bad spot when it comes to that.
But we just want them to win in overtime
so that Buffalo Wild Wings can give out free wings to everybody.
He's rocking a Buffalo Wild Wings sleeveless
shirt letting you know he still has it.
He might not be playing.
Yeah, come on.
Yeah.
Yeah, sometimes you've got to let the armpits breathe a little bit out here,
especially with all these stuff.
You've got a lot of stuffy yuppies up in this place, man.
There's quite a few.
I saw a lot of turtlenecks.
A lot of players are here with the turtleneck look.
I would punch myself square in the balls if I could.
So I'm here to be comfortable, have a good time,
and Super Bowl week is always electric.
So thank you guys so much for watching.
Thanks, man.
Good stuff.
Thank you, guys.
Appreciate you coming on.
20 to 30 beers up there at Gillette.
It's a fun memory of mine.
If you go to any Buffalo Wild Wings, you'll drink 30 in front of you.
I've moved to the vitamins now.
So I've moved to the vitamins now. I've moved to the vitamins now.
Only very special occasions
while I start pounding beers again.
Super Bowl is definitely one of those.
Okay, very good.
Those guys are the best.
Those guys.
Do you know them?
No, I'm a Felger and Maz guy.
Hold on, though.
Those guys are the best.
Hey, they still are. They're the best. You're a fan now. Those guys are the best. Hey, they still are.
They're the best.
You're a fan now, man.
Oh, yeah.
Big time.
Big time.
You're a what guy?
Felger and Mass.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Different sports, huh?
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Summon your ass?
Is that what you said?
I believe he said that.
I believe that was it.
This is making sure.
I believe that was it.
Real question, though. How do you feel you own the best merch of all time from buffalo wild wings right
there this everywhere i went this they talked about what i was wearing they said that to you
i assume yeah there was a couple times i mean it's a nike sleeveless hoodie we used to sell
hoodies like this but they're my favorite hoodie we don't sell anymore because they're so hard to
find we found one put the buffalo wild wings they put the Seamstress somewhere. They shipped it to this
to Atlanta.
So I hadn't seen it until we got to Atlanta this morning
and it's, I'm a big fan of it.
It's very comfortable.
Chris Sims came
after my arms a little bit. I was like, wait a minute.
I'm telling you, man. Chris Sims?
Yeah, he came after
my arms. He also came after me and fucking
corn dogs.
He did, didn't he?
Is that when he turned on him?
No, I've been against him for a long time.
Didn't he get his spleen knocked out of his body?
Didn't he get his spleen ruptured when he got sacked one time?
I'm pretty sure he did.
He's a good guy. We can't spleen.
Listen, he's a good guy.
We can't bury this dude.
He did come after my arms, though.
I was thinking about my arms this morning when I put the sleeper suit on.
I was like, I should have done more biceps the week leading up to this.
Yeah.
Yeah, because I think it would have been much better.
My biceps come and go.
It's all about whether or not I care.
That's kind of the way it is.
But I like that they stick around, though.
They're just hanging out in the back.
If you ever need us, all we need is a four-day pump.
That's all we need.
If you give us a good four days, we're back.
But if not, we're dormant, guys. And that's what they are. It's very four-day pump. That's all we need. If you give us a good four days, we're back. But if not, we're dormant, guys.
And that's what they are.
It's very nice of them.
Super Bowl week is going to be a lot of fun.
Tune in today.
We'll be uploading videos on my social medias, on our YouTube, on Facebook, on the Twitter,
and I believe even on Instagram.
We're going to figure out how to put it up on there.
Come fucks with us.
There's a lot of people,
a lot of big name people, like Nick Mangold.
I mean, he just texted me. I assume that's going to happen a lot
tomorrow. It's like, hey, I hear you're at Topgolf.
Excuse me. Nick Mangold
just texted me.
I assume it might
happen a lot, so I'm excited for that.
And Zito's going to be
cutting that whole show.
Oh, boy.
Which is nerve-wracking for sure.
I mean, we might have some huge breaking news on there,
and if Zito's caffeine-pilled fingers fucking jam it up, we could miss it.
They're even quicker than with the caffeine pills.
Zito is a – They're going to be there monitoring, so that's good news.
That's great news, actually. That's really good news. Some would say. I don't know how it's going to be there monitoring so that's good news that's great news actually that's really good news
some would say
I don't know how it's going to go
but maybe that's part of the whole thing
see how it works out I'm assuming it won't
I don't even know how we're going to upload it
I don't think we have enough internet to upload the shit
at this hotel or at
like Ty's going to be up all night
trying to see if this podcast looks
we're going to launch a hotspot for him
with a cell phone?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's very nice of you guys.
We should go to Internet Cafe.
Huh?
Internet Cafe.
Is it around here?
I don't know.
Are they still around?
Yeah, I might head over to IHOP.
IHOP might have a good internet.
Dude, their Wi-Fi is like.
Oh, no.
There's a massage place right across.
Oh, yeah.
We saw it.
They always have a good internet.
Do IHOP?
That's why I'm here.
Todd.
Somebody told me.
Anyways, it's going to be a great fucking week.
Let's have a good one.
Pat, before we go, one thing that was on my mind.
I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry about that.
I know you're Jeff Gorman.
With him kicking his feet.
You did this.
I really felt like an ass.
Okay.
And it was a great trick.
But we landed in Atlanta.
Oh, yeah.
And we go to Kellogg's.
Keegan's, right?
Keegan's Pub.
And then he pulls out a handkerchief.
And, of course, one of the...
So that's my question.
Is that always on you, and you just bring it out at certain times?
And I've got to find out how that fucking thumb thing right there...
I'm glad he watched the show, however.
No, do that again.
Oh, wow.
It's gone, bud.
Wow.
No, I still see it.
No, you don't.
It's on your right hand.
How long have you been doing that trick?
What are you like the creepy uncle?
Come here, Kaz.
Let me show you.
No, you should have seen the first trick.
Do you remember the first trick that I had, Todd?
Oh, yeah.
My first trick is one that is even better.
Okay?
Why don't you come up?
I need a guy.
I need a volunteer.
Zito.
No, I need a volunteer.
Please, Jeffrey, come up to the front.
Yeah, if you could please hold.
If you could please.
You got to move out of the way there.
I didn't really.
Okay, okay.
Don't block the camera.
Please don't block the camera.
All right.
Directly into the camera.
Immediately.
So this was my first magic trick, okay?
Which hand is it in?
This one.
Are you sure?
Yes.
What if it wasn't in there?
Is it in there?
Oh.
Huh?
This one.
Nothing.
Wow.
How do you like that?
I like the first one better.
Well, I'm just saying, that's what it started at.
I did that 400 times in one weekend in a city in Myrtle Beach.
I did it at every bar we went to, every human that was there,
because there was a magician with us that was making things disappear in front of people's eyes at the bars.
His name was Carl.
Right.
Carl!
That's his name.
Wait.
Carl Magic?
Carl Magic.
Oh, shit.
New Year's Eve Carl?
Prestigious.
New Year's Eve Carl.
Yes, him.
Yes.
But he was just rolling to the bars with us, and he would take like a napkin, and he would put it in his thing, and then all of a sudden it was gone and people's faces were just like holy shit so right after he got done with that i'd come
up right behind him and i'd do the two hands thing like this which hand and they run out nothing
just walk away and then he shipped me the the handkerchief he shipped it to me it was like
at least you can make something disappear i I was like, thank you, Carl.
I appreciate that.
So that's how that came to be, is I was making nothing disappear,
and now I make something.
That was going to be a touchdown celebration.
Yeah, you got me.
You got me.
Yeah, I'm an illusionist.
Yeah.
I've got a couple more tricks, too.
I know a couple more.
I've got a card trick.
I know what you're going to get.
It's five diamonds, and I'm going to find it.
Nice.
Because half of the deck is five diamonds.
what you're going to get.
It's five diamonds and I'm going to find it.
Nice.
Because half of the deck
is five diamonds.
I'm a little bit on the...
I should be masked right now
because I'm a masked magician
just giving up all these tricks.
I'll give up another one next week.
I know more.
I know more tricks.
That's about it.
Nice.
Thanks, Pat.
You almost died this morning
on the highway
and last night
you got your fucking mind
put in a pretzel.
It's been a rough 24 hours for the Gorman, but you'll keep on cooking.
It looks like he's struggling to be honest.
He'll bounce back.
He'll bounce back.
I had an hour worth of sleep last night.
I didn't sleep much either here, by the way.
Go ahead and look forward to that.
Why?
What happened?
I don't know.
I just honestly—
It's just not your bed.
I felt like the bed was comfortable.
I felt like the bed was comfortable.
What about the pillow?
My issue has been with hotel pillows. The only have wild did you only have three they're one by they're one by one
the layout is insane it is they're one by one square i walked in and thought someone was
fucking in my room there's someone in here what the hell's going on but the pillow hotel pillows
you either got or nothing at all right yeah and you try to stack
the soft one on top of the rock one but your head is going to get to the rock one quicker than you
think and all of a sudden you're laying on a on a flat board basically if i'm driving somewhere i
will always take my own pillow always i can't do a flying it is hard to walk into a hotel with your own pillow, though. Oh, not me. I'm like, you know why I'm doing this.
You're 100% right.
I think I should be passing.
I think I should start traveling with a pillow.
You should.
Are you guys therapeutic?
No, I'm just a cotton or a...
Thermopedic?
A therapeutic.
No, what are those called?
No, memory foam pillows suck.
Thermopedic? No, I just like to stand pillows suck thermopedic no i just like to
stand therapeutic i just like medium pillows yeah medium pillows i agree i'm the same those
therapeutic ones are a little too much i always need two two two firm i have one if you fall
asleep like that your neck is gonna hurt so fucking bad because they got you locked in oh
yeah it's like you will not move it's like i think my body would though. The way you talked, I know we're the same type of people.
And I don't like a down pillow either, because in an hour, I'm flat.
Yeah.
I go two pillow behind the head, pillow between the knees.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm doing the whole thing.
And I'll put one on top of me, too, if I'm laying.
I think that's that comfort blanket.
I can't sleep with one not underneath my knees anymore.
It's impossible.
Are you pregnant?
Got him. It's impossible. Are you pregnant? Got him.
It sure felt like it.
Connor ordered a cranberry juice on the plane today.
Wow.
To hydrate before the biggest week of my life.
What do you want me to do?
What are you doing this week?
You're not doing anything.
We have kept you far away.
You were there from 4 to 10 and 9 to 12.
Biggest week of my life right there.
There you go.
Patriots are going to win for sure, by the way.
Everybody is betting on them.
Vegas has to be like – is it 70% Diggs just said?
You think Vegas is – that kind of scares me.
I'm surprised it's that low.
That's bad news.
That's terrible news.
I thought it would be higher kind of scares me. I'm surprised it's that low. That's bad news. That's terrible news. I thought it would be higher.
It scares me.
Bubba – not Bubba.
Gumpy.
Bubba Gumpy.
He put on his IG story today, him flexing in like a good outfit,
like, oh, Rams money line?
And he like was very confident in that.
Oh, I saw it.
Gumpy isn't very confident in a lot of things.
And normally, like, it's right.
Like, whenever he puts something out there,
normally he's a little bit of a heater.
That makes me worried because I bet on the Patriots every possible way you could.
The Patriots over.
The Patriots money line.
The Patriots minus three.
I bet on them however I could.
See, I've been betting basically every week since they lost to the Titans.
I've been putting a little money on them to win the Super Bowl.
So we've really added up here. And if
we don't get the job done, my body's
in a lake somewhere.
I know that.
That's classic. Don't die.
Bring your floaties.
It would be a real shame, though. You think the Rams are
going to win? Yes. You're doing that because
you work at Fox Sports. You feel
like you have to go opposite everybody.
No, no, no.
I also took them, but doesn't mean I think they're going to win. You work at Fox Sports, you feel like you have to go opposite everybody. No, no, no, no, no.
Diggs, back me up.
I also took them, but it doesn't mean I think they're going to win.
You took them because 70-30.
Yeah, I don't know.
I like McVay a lot.
Sorry, I like McVay a lot.
I don't know, I just have a feeling.
I like McVay a lot too, by the way.
I like him a lot. The whole thing about AQ saying it's quieter so he'll be able to talk to him more,
I think that's good.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But he's also going against Belichick on the other side.
So it's like McVay-Belichick.
That's like a real matchup right now.
And their best receiver was on our team last year.
Matt Patricia.
We know him.
We're very familiar with him.
He knows you too.
Matt Patricia.
Oh.
Never been covered by Steve.
Never been covered by Steven Gilmore, thoughve i actually do agree with you on that you know i took as one of my prop bets brandon cooks to be
under five and a half catchers absolutely i think there's like um clay travis asked me there the
over under it was 183 yards for tom brady in the first half i hammered the under because i think
they're gonna be running the rock early i think they're going to be hammer hammering the rock early they got a three-headed monster in the backfield there
i just i'm excited for the game again like last year the eagles patriots i was pumped up i was
like i think the eagles are going to win this game i think it's going to happen right now i feel that
way but it's like for the patriots i feel like i think the patriots are going to win this game
and i go strictly off of emotion from players. That's the only thing I care about
is emotion from players.
Last year it was them singing in a team meeting.
This time it's the way Tom Brady's acting.
I just think that they are going to...
I think it's a win.
The only thing I'm worried about is Goff has that look of
he could get deer in headlights. Possibly.
Yeah. I just have a feeling like they're not even
going to show up.
I think the team will show up.
I'm just worried about him a little bit.
I don't think so at all.
That makes me really confident.
I'm going to double down on the Rams.
It needs to go over time.
It's not fade Todd season.
It's hot Todd season, bro.
For NBA.
Hey, he's been reading the Action Network.
Oh, yeah.
Look at my numbers.
I would be scared if I were you.
I'd be scared if I was you looking at your weight numbers, bro.
You need to put some weight back on.
So do you, Zito.
I'm excited for this weight loss challenge to end tomorrow.
$9,999.
Never again.
And 99 cents on the line.
We would never do this again.
Never again.
Never.
Maybe it'll be outside.
You know how they have surrogate moms?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think maybe we could just do randoms off the street and be like, hey, you're our horse
for this weight loss challenge.
We'll pay you for seasonal.
It'll be a seasonal thing people would have to sign up for.
But they're definitely not a part of the everyday process.
They just come in for weigh-ins and some things like that.
We'll just keep it off.
Because I think it is potentially killing every single one of you.
Just in case I gain too much weight, can we do something smaller
so I could just lose weight again?
We just don't.
Oh, Diggs says, why don't you be
an adult? Wow. Did you learn some
self-control, you piece of shit? Wow.
Nick Morado is taking shots from your six.
Diggs from your 12. You are surrounded,
Zito. Yeah, luckily I have three
and four. Nailed it.
Nine.
Three and nine would be the other one.
You do have four, too. They do have four too they're not there they're not there they're a lot thinner too they're only taking up one little time slot yeah that's very true
all right uh that was about it from our cult room here in the middle of our country and in suites we
appreciate you so much come fucks with us on the internet uh if you could tweet at DAZN. Oh, yeah. There it is. At DAZN underscore US.
Like, hey, we love that Pat is going to be doing daily stuff with you.
We would sign up.
We would sign up if Pat was to do stuff with you guys.
Because DAZN, they can open a lot of doors,
and they can give us the freedom to make whatever the hell we want.
That's basically what's happening here. It's like, hey, we just kind of want us the freedom to make whatever the hell we want. That's basically what's happening here.
It's like, hey, we just kind of want to help you guys do whatever the hell you want to do.
And I think with their worldwide rights to a lot of things, we can have a lot of fun with that.
Imagine us going live from Canelo Alvarez's next fight.
We could literally go live, maybe even our own commentating of it.
You know what I mean?
If the internet's good.
Question for you.
Because I know the listeners are going to have this question too.
Yeah.
When you say DAZN underscore US, is that D-Z-N underscore US?
No, it's D-A-Z-N.
D-A-Z-N.
Yeah.
DAZN, by the way.
I learned the meaning of the name.
D-A-Z-N.
It's the only four-letter word.
It's not a word, but it doesn't mean anything in any language.
That's bad.
It is USA.
That's smart.
DAZN, USA?
And then DAZN underscore USA.
DAZN underscore CA for Canada?
Yes, for Canada, CA, and for the USA.
It's DAZN underscore USA.
Okay, so now we got it right.
We have a lot of Canadian fans, too.
Well, they have the NFL rights in Canada,
so we could make content with the NFL rights for Canada,
which could be a lot of fun.
Just think of a film room, me and Chuck Pagano in there,
breaking down film, me and A.Q. Shipley, me and anybody, really.
That'd be a lot of fun, only in Canada.
And in America, we'd be able to get access to anything we really wanted.
That's pretty nice.
Yeah, DAZN could be really cool for us we'll see how it goes 12 before though not a minute after a minute fucking before let's have a great day thank you all so much from list
or for listening to pet mic show 2.0 tell your friends please send those tweets to the zone it
would mean a lot to your friends here in this cult room maybe like three or four times actually
yeah different counts to make burner counts. We have.
We appreciate you all.

I try to just throw it at you, determine your own adventure
Andre, got to a station, here's my destination
She got off the bus, the conversation lingered in my head for hours
Took a shower, kinda sour cause my favorite group ain't coming with it
But I'm with you cause you're probably going through it anyway
But, in and high, win and die
Went on out and bought it Cause I thought it would be jammin'
But examine all the flaws, skit, walls, skit All lit, sand and it's costly
But that's all shit, bro And I hope I never have to float in that boat
Up shit's creek, it's weak, it's the last quote That I wanna hear when I'm going down
With all said and done and we got a new Joe in town
When the record player get to skipping and slowing down
All y'all can say is them niggas earned their crown.
But until then.
I push that bull.
