Ladies and gentlemen, Foxy and I flew to Connecticut.
We had a layover in beautiful Detroit, Michigan.
It was a three-hour layover, and we thought to ourselves, you know what?
When life gives you lemons, ask yourself, why did life give me such terrible fruit?
But when life gives you a three hour layover in Detroit,
you ask yourself,
Hey,
we should try to get an interview with one of the most intriguing head
coaches in the NFL,
a guy who has an incredible beard and a man that got to listen to a
commentator,
make his debut in a 31,
nothing route of the green Bay Packers.
And a guy that I think you're going to love after this conversation,
Foxy and I made the most of a layover. And I think it's going to be to your benefit, ladies and gentlemen.
Coming to you live from the lion's den, the most intriguing head coach in the NFL in my eyes,
a Super Bowl champion, a legend amongst men for his beard, his big brain, and his Ticonderoga
number two pencil use, head coach of the Detroit Lions, Matt Patricia.
Thanks, man. I appreciate it.
Great to have you guys.
I appreciate you guys stopping in.
So we're in a layover, obviously.
Didn't want to be like Tom Hanks and hang out in the terminal.
I sent a little text message to a man named Eamon, who is a legend.
He's your PR guy, I believe.
Got this set up. I'm so thankful for you.
Yeah, well, hey, look, you guys made all the effort to get out here, so that's great.
All right, so you're in the middle of OTAs right now.
Yep.
Second year.
Restrictions are flying left and right at head coaches.
Last year, practice time got cut down.
This year, the Oklahoma drill is getting taken out.
How does a coach manage to get his team prepared for a season, especially with all these restrictions?
You know, we just got to hang in there and just making sure we have an adapt or die mentality.
And that's what we got to do.
We got to keep adapting and just try to figure out different ways to practice and get our guys better to go,
you know, ready to go and get them better and improve their fundamentals.
So we're working.
You know, we're actually starting a mini camp next week.
So we have two weeks of the OTA phase three.
And then we're going to do mini camp next week, hit three days in a row, and then finish up with another week of OTAs. Last year, your first
time being a head coach. I assume there was some nerves going into it now that you're the guy.
You were under great tutelage, obviously, in New England. What was your first year as a head coach
wrapped up in a couple of seconds? Yeah, best way to describe it, I say it all the time,
it's like drinking from the fire hose. You're just in it. You're trying to get as much as you can and,
you know, come on the end, you probably haven't drank enough and you're soaking wet. So just
trying to make sure to do everything possible to do a better job this year. You know, when you come
off of, we were, you know, I was, I was at the Superbowl, obviously didn't turn out the way you
wanted it to, but kind of get kicked into the next phase. I'm at a new place. We're trying to hire coaches, evaluate a roster. The off season was a little bit
nuts. And then you get into the, you know, the regular season and you're trying to evaluate
everything and change everything. And, you know, it's just, it's a long first year. It's really,
it's one of those years where you, you learn a lot as a coach and you learn a lot of what you
probably did wrong and what you need to do better and just make sure you do it right the next year.
Did you expect the drama that would come with being a head coach?
It's almost like the society we live in nowadays.
No matter what you do, there's going to be drama, right?
You beat the Patriots.
The place is obviously ecstatic.
All of Detroit.
Lions.
I don't know what you guys.
Lions Nation.
Is that what it is?
Is that Lions fan base?
What are you guys called? I like Lions Nation. That's good that's good we're good with that oh do we just start playing
yeah yeah you can just claim that right there so we like it Lion Pride is good I like that one too
I'm all about it the pride of Lions you know are excited then there comes all this stuff that just
comes from left field it's like Matt Patricia has lost the locker room and normally I will say this as somebody who's been in a locker
room for a long time. Normally when that happens it means that there's a couple
people inside the locker room who have connects to media who aren't exactly
happy with the way things are going. You continue to maintain this gentleman like
cool on top of it all. You go through your entire first season, you lose a
couple players to injury. Then you end it
with a 31-0 victory over the Green
Bay Packers with, some people are saying,
the greatest Keller commentator in the history of the game
commentating. I've got to be honest with you.
We listened to that call
over and over in the squad.
Especially the outstanding play
of Matt Prater and his
amazing throw.
I would say the enthusiasm and the explanation that the commentator did
through that game was unlike any I've ever seen.
It was at a next level.
We won't talk about the commentator.
Honestly, he doesn't deserve it.
But some are saying he pitched a perfect game for his first game.
That's neither here nor there.
But a lot of drama through the whole thing,
whether it was reporters kind of getting snippy with you players all these kind of kind of bullshit things happening was that
something you expected going into being a head coach or is it just like uh just kind of got to
learn as you go yeah you know again i think um if you're a first-time head coach you should
expect everything you know i think when you go into it, you have no idea. And you know what,
I give a lot of credit to obviously someone that I worked for for a very long time and his ability
to just kind of maintain that steady, calm all the way through everything. And what you really
realize on this side of it, a lot of times things that walk through your door, I'm looking at
basically a mirror image of what was me walking through the door with what I thought was an urgent problem
and sitting in the other seat going, you know, what are you doing in my chair?
What are you doing here right now?
You know, there's a thousand things going on.
So you have just a greater appreciation for that, no doubt.
Have you thought about at all turning your press conferences into just a football?
I mean, I think for me, I have enough problems with my press conferences just hopefully try to try to you know get the information out there
something that was mentioned last year when I got a chance to talk to you the
night before that Packers game was you meet with those reporters like literally
hundreds of times in one year I think we did 118 uh along
those lines that is so if there's a if there's 118 times talking to somebody and the season doesn't
go perfect and somebody feels as if they are out you're not saying this i will but somebody feels
as if they're more important than a lot of things i can see where frustrations happen on both sides
i'm happy to see you succeed though and move forward with this with that being said brought
in a lot of your type of guys I think that was something I feel like you're probably looking
forward to is bringing in your type of guys that can get into the Lions Danny Amendola's brought
in you brought in an Iowa tight end to the chagrin of a lot of pride Lion pride by the way another
tight end in the first round but it feels like you're really getting your type of people in the building well you know for me it was my first tight end in the first round. But it feels like you're really getting your type of people in the building.
Well, you know, for me, it was my first tight end in the first round.
So, you know, I mean, I'm kind of, you know,
I'm just worried about what I'm trying to do right now.
A little bit strange, though, to be a defensive head coach in the NFL
in your first two drafts.
Both your first rounders are on the offensive side of the ball.
So, I'm trying to figure out, you know, what's going on here.
We've got to get some, you know, some balance.
You've got no pull in there.
So, yeah yeah apparently not but uh no just um again uh just working through the first
year excited about the second year we're excited about uh you know just trying to get better all
the players um coming back that were here last year um you know super excited to get going with
those guys and what we've been able to do the last two weeks and looking forward to the next two
before to go to training camp and then pushing forward with the new guys that are in the building.
What does Danny bring to the team? Yeah, I mean, Danny Amendola and I obviously have a long-standing
relationship. There's definitely a, you know, a lot of love there between the two of us and
history that goes along with it and just a guy I completely trust and, you know, one of those guys
you see in the building every single day and know that, you know, he's the right kind of guy and he's the guy you want to be around with,
you know, when it's tough. I remember when he was just a special teamer in St. Louis,
and then obviously they left that city and he did as well. Then he went on to become this
clutch wide receiver in New England and then Miami, and now he's here. I think
great addition to the locker room. I appreciate that. You know, there was a couple guys there in the slot position through the course of the years when I was at New England and then Miami and now he's here. I think great addition to the locker room. I appreciate that. You know, there was a couple guys there in the slot position through the course
of the years when I was at New England that I got real tired of trying to cover. You know,
one of them was Wes Welker when he was down at Miami. And I remember it was a game we were
getting ready to go. And it was Orlando Murray pulled his calf in warmups. And I'm looking, and here's Welker.
He's kicking off.
He's kicking field goals.
He's returning punts.
And I'm still trying to figure out how to cover him in the slot.
I just, I remember walking out of that game going, okay,
if we could get this guy off of that team,
that would probably make my life a lot better.
And same situation with Danny.
We played the Rams that year, and we were in London,
and I wasn't sure if he was going to play not play I had to have like two different game plans if
he did we had to make sure we took him out you know if he wasn't playing then
we pushed everything else someplace else and just one of those guys when you
prepare and play against guys like that you have a lot of respect for him you
know what they can do you like to try to get him on your side because you're
tired of playing against him DJ said is playing against him right now on the internet.
I don't know if you know anything about that.
You shouldn't.
I will, though.
Matthew Stafford.
There was conversations early last year about you two butting heads or something.
Veteran quarterback, by the way.
New head coach.
Always a potential situation to happen.
When I got a chance to talk to both you and Matthew Stafford the last year,
our last game of the year, he was nothing but very appreciative of everything you've brought
into his life. It was like a new focus for him and you were the same way for him. You just were
quoted a couple weeks ago saying that Matthew Stafford's just like a good guy and he's been
here for everything and wants everybody to be better. What do you see out of Matthew Stafford
into your second year as head coach? I mean, it's all of it. I mean, you know, I don't, again,
follow any of the rhetoric that goes on outside this building.
Hey, he chugged very good, just like Tom Brady, by the way.
So that should make you feel even better.
Just something to think about.
Yeah, and just in the football side of this, you know,
what's really good for me is just, you know, having that relationship with him.
I mean, he's awesome.
You know, he's a football guy.
He loves the game.
This is my life.
I'm passionate.
I love football.
He loves the game. This is my life. I'm passionate. I love football. He loves football. The best part is it can be any portion of the season, in the season,
off season. I'll shoot him a text. I'll ask him a question. Hey, what do you think about this
personnel? What do you think about this guy? Hey, have you seen this guy coming out of college? And
he knows everything about the game. And you just, you love it. It's conversation that just, you know,
I think from a standpoint of guys that are passionate about what they do,
it just draws that bond closer and closer.
So it's great.
Every single day, I'm just blessed to be able to walk in the building with that guy.
I think that's good to hear because a lot of people have this image of Stafford where he's just this bro,
doesn't really care, he got $700 million guaranteed.
But it's nice to hear that somebody who's from a very hard-working dynasty say hey
this guy's got it I think that's good for the lion pride lions nation to hear I think yeah I mean he's
a hard-working guy there's no one tougher there's no one that works harder and uh he wants to win
and and that's what we got to do uh the Packers head coach tours Achilles in practice or no uh
something else he tours Achilles does that make you guys automatically the favorite in the NFC North because of that? For the head coaching race,
I mean, honestly, I think even with the torn Achilles, I'm not probably in the best sprinting
shape right now. He's probably, he probably still has got me. You know, we'll have to see when we
get to that point. You shaved your beard down a little bit. What do we do? Yeah, the off-season,
it goes down. I got to start over. Every year, I take it down.
I start over, let it grow back a little bit, and then I'll take it down probably one more time.
And then when training camp hits, it's on.
So you just let it go.
So you just take notes all day?
That's why that pencil's in your ear?
Is that what happens?
Like at any given moment, you could fucking write down some notes?
Yeah, 100%.
I'm trying to evaluate everything.
And I've actually upgraded there.
Why don't you throw me that marker, the blue one here.
So we've got the pencil.
I've got note cards that I carry around with me all the time.
My new latest one is that if I need to write notes, we're just, we're right on the table.
So I'm just, all the time, we're just, we're grinding out.
We're going to put X's and O's.
You know, it's the good thing about being a head coach is if we need a new table,
we're just going to call, we're going to buy one, and we'll just go from there.
For those listening that can't see what's happening,
he is literally drawing out an entire play formation on the table
that we are currently sitting at, which is a glass table.
I would assume this is a dry erase, but nonetheless.
It may or may not be.
You don't know.
But, you know, at that point, they've got to figure it out.
Speaking of plays drawing out,
why didn't you give me a heads up about the fake field goal?
Yeah, you know, I wasn't sure if I was going to bring that up or not.
There's the fake field goal.
I think I assume I remember a fake punt or something like that, too.
You guys were going to run a fake punt?
We had a fake punt, too.
But you never know.
You never know what's going to happen.
Are you a part of any of those decisions when it comes to like off because you got a new offensive
coordinator so obviously you're the head coach but i've seen some head coaches who have sat back
and let their offensive coordinator do his thing defense coordinator do their thing are you in
those meetings kind of like hey i think this would work potentially because a defensive coordinator
could potentially know more about offensive football than most offensive minds you know it, it's an excellent statement. I'm glad you said it,
and I didn't. But, you know, I think for me, I'm involved in, you know, as the head coach,
you got to be involved in all aspects of the game, you know, whether it's special teams,
offense, defense, game management, that's your job, and that's what we're trying to do. So,
you know, it's great for me. I actually got into the league at New England on the offensive side
of the ball. I coached, you know, with Dante Skarnecci in the O-line for two years before I switched over and coached the linebackers. So I love
all aspects of the game. Definitely the sleeper field goal, which is what we ran in Green Bay.
We hadn't run that or I hadn't run that since it was actually the Rams 2004.
Troy Brown. Yeah, Adam Brown. Adam Vinatieri to Troy Brown. So it was one of those deals last game, and I was like, you know what?
I think it's about time for the sleeper.
We haven't seen this in a while.
So let's run it.
Let's see what we got and get a little spark and get going.
That's beautiful.
And they also made rules against it, basically.
They did.
It's actually very difficult to run right now.
It's impossible to run.
Yeah, so we had to kind of go through an approval process before the game
and make sure the officials knew what we were doing.
It's probably why I didn't tip you off.
For those that don't know why it's impossible, basically in between the 30s is the only place
where you can have a guy who doesn't check in on the side of the hash mark, I believe,
right?
Everybody has to check in on the inside of the hash mark before they can go out.
So it's hard to sneak somebody out there unless the corner who's rushing just completely isn't
paying attention at all, which is what happened in Lambeau.
We had a shot of trying to do it with our sideline.
Kind of maybe we thought they'd lose it in the background of what was going on,
and it had to be in the right area where the coaches couldn't,
on their sideline, get the information out to them in time.
So it kind of just was a perfect storm and great execution.
A lot of plays in the NFL last year.
That was in the top 100.
Voted by the NFL.
Just want to let you know that.
I appreciate that.
That's good.
Yeah, it's real good.
That's an offensive play, special teams play by a defensive coach. That's want to let you know. I appreciate that. That's good. Yeah, so you should feel good. That's an offensive play,
special teams play
by a defensive coach.
That's got to feel fucking great.
I mean, you just got
a little prater out there
slinging it.
I mean, that's awesome.
No laces, too.
Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely just grabbed it
and just, you know, heaved it up.
Did you think in that game,
like, good idea would just be
get Aaron Rodgers out early?
Yeah, I mean, listen,
you know, that's always a good plan,
but it doesn't really usually work out that way.
I know he's so good at football.
He's so good.
He's one of those guys I've had a lot of battles with through the year,
and, you know, I'll never forget, we were in a preseason game
playing them one time, and, you know, I'm on my sideline,
I'm calling the defense,
and he's literally standing at the numbers on our sideline.
He's not getting a play call, and he's just looking at me and staring. And he's very cool, very calm. He
always has that dialed in kind of look. And so I'm looking back at him and I'm kind of like,
what are you doing? And he's like, Hey, make the call. And I was like, you make the call.
And he's like, no, go ahead and make the call. I'm like, well, shoot, I don't got to worry about
the play clock you do. So I'm just, I'm good. You know, he's wanting to sit here all day and he just, he's just calm. Just, you know,
he can see what's going on, goes up, makes a call and goes and he still can't stop it. It's
unbelievable. Oh, that's an incredible image in my head. Just you and Aaron Rodgers staring each
other down. Preseason game obviously means a lot, just like every other football game. I'm sure
it was probably the first preseason game or something real important like that too. Hey,
Matt, why don't you make the call, man? Yeah you sending in there yeah he's like smiling i'm like oh this is
this is great who's your favorite player you ever played against played against that's an outstanding
question um man i don't know uh a lot of years of really good because it's you versus quarterback
and offense coordinator basically right the defense coordinator is taking on the quarterback
if they're the ones making a call at the line,
or the offense coordinator.
It's a constant chess match.
Who's somebody you enjoy?
I mean, I would love to sit there and say, you know,
obviously that I'm that involved,
but I actually don't step in between the white lines,
so it's really the players out on the field.
No one wants me out there.
It's not pretty.
It doesn't look good.
I would say as a game plan mentality trying to stop people, there's a lot of them.
A lot of great battles with Peyton Manning.
I mean, obviously that guy is phenomenal.
Obviously every single day in practice went against Tom Brady.
You know, that's someone that's unbelievable.
And Josh, obviously McDaniels and what they were able to do
and the great players that we had there and, you know, through the league on offense.
There's a lot of them.
I would say this, though, you know, the one guy just kind of recently is stuck in my head right now
probably because we play him first game of the year,
but there's not a better guy or a tougher competitor than Larry Fitzgerald.
That's a guy that's just an unbelievable player and even a better person.
Ten mil a year, he just, yeah, I'll take another one, he says.
I think he's going to be able to play forever.
He looks like he's in the best shape of his career.
He's so strong.
I mean, again, you know, as long as the quarterback throws it within the zip code,
he's going to catch it.
So it's just kind of unbelievable.
So are you watching college because they are your first game?
You've been on record saying that you've been focusing on week one already
because, I mean, that's your next real – have you, like,
watched Kyler Murray's college film?
Is that what you're doing?
Like how are you studying for yeah um great great question probably a little bit of a of a tip of what we try to do
here is when quarterbacks come out in the draft uh you evaluate all of them uh you know we have
to anyways as as a head coach you're looking at all those guys everybody in the draft but even as
a defensive coordinator uh one of the things i was told as a young defensive coordinator was
uh you know you should really look at all the top quarterbacks coming out because whether, you know,
they wind up on your team or you wind up playing against them,
you want to get all that work in ahead of time.
So it was kind of something that I already did.
A.Q. Shipley broke on my show that they're going to be in shotgun 99% of the time.
Just a little inside information if you want to write that down.
Yeah, that was good.
I think I already told Cliff we're just going to go goal line, 23 personnel the whole game,
and just make it about a, you it about maybe a 20-play game.
That's smart.
Yeah.
Just like everything you do, very smart.
Last question, what do you want your Detroit Lions team to be remembered as?
Like this team is this.
Like, for instance, when I was on Peyton's team, it was.
I mean, he was making the calls.
He was cutting people.
He was doing everything. But when I was there, it was like a group of guys that were tight they were going to
be smarter than the other team and they were going to be fresher than the team that was like the thing
like we're going to be fresh smart and we're going to be a tight group then we kind of got into a
regime there where it was like oh we're going to have the most athletic guys that kind of kept
him moving but we're going to be a hard working group and then chuck got in there and it was grit
that was what he wanted us to be known for.
What do you want your teams to be known for?
I mean, I think, look, your team is going to be known for different things every single year.
Every team is different.
And each year in the NFL, now your team is completely different.
It's really a one-year season.
I mean, one-year commitment to the team is just kind of how things work.
And, you know, every year I just, you know, our guys,
I think our guys are working extremely hard right now.
We're trying to do all of that, you know, whatever category you want to put those words in.
You're a cliches guy? No way.
I mean.
Do you go out there and just read off a bunch of cliches?
I don't think I'm a cliches guy, but I probably have a couple catch sayings or probably some sarcastic remarks that probably.
Let me hear them.
Yeah, no, I'm good there.
You know, you can catch those later at practice.
But for me, it's more about just, you know, I want everybody to be successful.
I want them to be, you know, happy in their careers and what they do.
And, you know, for me, I just want our guys to be the best they can be.
And, you know, and with that, hopefully we can have some success.
It seems like you're a fundamentally sound guy, too.
That's been like a topic of conversation for you throughout your
press conferences you've talked about like drill work like going back to the basics that seems like
something that is uh yeah it's probably going to be something that you're going to be known for
yeah i mean it's not sexy it's not fun people don't like to talk about it but it's real it's
real it's 100 the foundation of what everything's built upon and you know for the most part um you
know i like to say you know players win games coaches part, you know, I like to say, you know, players win games, coaches lose games.
And in the end, most great plays in the biggest games of the year that I've been involved with have been some big ones.
It's just been a good fundamental play that's made it.
It hasn't been any call.
It hasn't been anything that, you know, the coach did from the sideline.
It had all to do with what the player did out on the field.
I always realized in, like, the most pressure-packed moments, like, you always rely on your fundamentals. Yeah. Like, whenever you – whenever you because there's a lot of like athleticism where you can just kind of athlete
your way through things but then whenever it's like a oh shit moment like you always think back
to like okay what are the fundamentals yeah like okay this is that sure and it also has to do with
when you get tired right which is going to be the fourth quarter the gotta have a situation
at the end of the game you're trying to build muscle memory because when you're tired you want
to revert to that and that's only done through practice repetition.
So that's where we get it done.
What does the dynasty in New England have
that everybody else is trying to get
and that you're trying to get here at the Lions?
Wins.
So I mean, I think that's kind of the number one.
Trophies, rings, I think a lot of those.
So we're just trying to stay focused on us.
That's awesome, man.
You a conspiracy theory
guy uh what are we talking well on the way over here i just saw a video of aliens so i think
they're coming just by the way cool appreciate that that's good i mean i'm kind of a space guy
so you know i'm an aeronautical engineer that was kind of my deal like so you believe in aliens i
wanted to i mean i didn't say i do or i'm not i'm gonna admit either way but uh i'm gonna i'm gonna
check that out yeah i guess they're just happening they're just they're just showing up
right now I guess it's a new thing where like the military is allowed to just
talk about it I just really know just news outside of this bubbly yeah I mean
I'm pretty much I have TVs that never turn on and nothing but pretty much tape
rolling through here all the time so I wish mean you just drew a goddamn play on the table that is so different animal i wish you nothing but six how about bigfoot you believe in bigfoot
uh i think we're gonna skip that question too i'm not really sure about it yeah that's well
you know i'm in on both of those so if you ever want to have a conversation about bigfoot whenever
you're done here just let me know perfect um i wish you nothing but success you're honestly
and i know it probably gets talked about on a regular basis how smart
you are and how good of a football guy you are but for me from chatting with you a couple times
and hearing stories from vinatieri who was friends with you you're a cool dude vinatieri's the best
i love that guy man he's one of my absolute favorites i so i'll give you another quick
story i know you got phone calls and stuff to get to but uh it's actually the airport
your flight's leaving now
perfect uh you know back in the day at new england uh when i first got there i was in charge of like
you know running special team show teams and i'm stressing i'm the young coach i'm trying to get it
right i just don't want to get yelled at make sure everybody's out there and uh we need 11 we yeah
just get i don't even care i don't like the the water guy like put it i don, I don't even care. I don't like the, the water guy, like put it out. I don't,
I don't really care. And Adam, a hundred percent, we'd be running the kickoff show team and he'd
walk out. He's like, Hey, he's like, relax. I got this. And just that kind of guy of like,
don't worry about it. Like I got this under control and just took care of you. And you know,
from an early, early part of my career, he and I have just been really close.
A lot of common interests.
He's an unbelievable guy, great family guy, all of it.
And just he's a special dude, man.
I honestly think he's just going to kick forever.
I was very lucky to go to the Colts and be under his tutelage.
I'm just waiting for him to decide when he doesn't want to so he can start coaching or whatever he's going to do. But, you know, he can kick as long as he wants to.
Tomlin always told me, Mike Tomlin,
he was gonna wait until I got older and cheap
and bring you back to Pittsburgh.
He said, I'm just gonna wait for you to get older
and get cheap, and then I'm gonna bring you back
to Pittsburgh.
I would assume that every time we play a team-
Did that pass?
Are we-
I'm never gonna be cheap, Coach.
Okay, all right, just checking.
I thought not old, always young.
Well, I'm old as balls right now, man.
You hear me walk down this hallway, it's just clickety-clack, literally.
Your guy heard me walking in.
But every time we would play anybody,
one of Vinatieri's old teammates or old coaches is on another team,
and they would all come up to him with the same thing.
It's like, yo, when are you going to be done, man?
When are you going to come kick for us maybe when you're done?
I think he's going to kick until the day he dies. Yeah, I
hope so. And I hope it's another hundred years, because
he's amazing, and he's made some of the most
amazing kicks in some of the biggest games
that I've ever seen. So, he's
the best. And he's an elite quarterback, just like Prater.
I mean, we got some touchdowns, so
you know, trying to keep that in common.
I don't.
I don't have one.
Antonio Brown tackled a fucking tight end.
We ran a fake punt.
Antonio Brown.
Yes, that Antonio Brown tackled a tight end.
He didn't score.
Eight-yard line.
Well, from the Lions, Dan, here in lovely – is this Detroit?
This would be – let's call it Detroit.
Lovely Detroit.

Let's get back to the show.
I have a couple thoughts on my mind Not thoughts like a whore still the best intro of any segment in the history of any podcast took us years to make that people
think that was just thrown together overnight no no that was years in the making uh ty schmidt you
will keep score on these this first one one is about Jeopardy James.
James holds hard.
Friend of the show.
A lot of people are saying,
because of last night's loss by Jeopardy James,
in very close proximity time-wise to his appearance on this show,
that it is 100% my fault that Jeopardy james lost i would like it to be known that he appeared on this show on thursday he went on to win thursday night and friday night to win massively
what happened was he didn't contact me through the weekend to keep our relationship buzzing and going.
He did the crack cancer challenge after I challenged him with his beautiful wife to
raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer, which is fantastic.
He kind of tipped his toe into internet fame by doing so, which I appreciate immensely.
But we were not on the phone together this weekend.
We were not texting.
I couldn't send a motivational tweet or text to him
because I didn't know if those phone lines were still open.
That's why he lost yesterday.
So I would not like to be placed in the same sentence as Drake
when it comes to curses
because although it is something that happened in the past,
in the past,
there are some things where I would start saying it was a lock
and all of a sudden the complete opposite would happen.
We're past that.
It's the McAfee bump is back in full effect
and it's the lack of McAfee in James Holzhauer's life
that caused the loss last night
in not being able to topple Ken Jennings
in Watson's fucking cash prize.
So that's how I would like to remain.
That is where I stand
and I am absolutely heartbroken
for the whole house
for not being able to break that record
but congratulations to him
on becoming an absolute phenom
in the pop culture world
and getting paid in the next four months
his multiple millions of dollars
from the Jeopardy
Corporation
yeah it's a pass. 110%.
Thank you so much. Hit the thingy
again, please. Need it.
I have a couple thoughts
on my mind, not thoughts like a
whore. I'll give some takes
while Ty will keep score.
We all agree with that? Yeah.
I'm not so sure he didn't throw it.
I 1000% agree he threw it on purpose.
Why? Why do we think that?
Go ahead, Ty. You go first.
His betting strategy was
the exact opposite of everything
he told us. Going into Final Jeopardy,
and this is the first time he's actually been
down, and he only bet 1,700.
That was his wager. If he
was doing what he told us, he's viewing it as
fun coupons or as poker chips.
Why wouldn't he bet everything if he knew he had to win?
I think he just got burnt out and was just ready to do something else.
You think he was bored?
Yeah.
I've made a few million dollars doing this.
I'm getting bored winning all the time.
I'm obviously smarter than all these other nerds.
I'm going to go ahead and throw it.
Yeah, he's getting all these media requests now, too.
It's like, well, why?
I mean, I'd rather just.
Yeah, exactly.
I'd rather go do some
of that stuff in the time being i think he hasn't worked in a few months and he knows he's not gonna
get paid for four months i think the uh the strings were a little tight around the wallet
and he's like i need to get out of this so i can get my fucking two million dollars yeah he did
tell us you don't get paid until four months after your loss but they did say they're expediting his
uh unlike other contestants So he is getting his
millions sooner, according to
a report that I read today. But that
doesn't help him right now. No, the average American
you can only, I mean, I take a week off
and I'm not going to be able to fucking afford stuff.
Well, you're not the average American.
You have some spending gap.
I don't know. There are a lot of commercials
I see this day where the average American is in
more than $20,000 of credit card debt.
I'm like, oh, that makes me feel better.
You know all they got to do for that average American poll is just go up to somebody that looks and acts exactly like you and say, are you in $20,000 of debt?
Yup.
And then ask one other person, are you in $20,000?
Yup.
And then they could say, well, polls say that the average American is in $20,000 worth of debt
well I feel a lot worse now that I did
I didn't mean to do that
we'll get you out of that debt soon
all is not lost for him Pat all is not lost
guys listen he's coming back for
tournament champions forget that
he's going to play one on one
in a pay per view event against Ken Jennings
at some point
at some point this is happening.
I think he's going to have his own show made about him.
Just like the chase has with the Beast and just like all these other things,
there's going to be some trivia because he's become such a topical name.
There's going to become some trivia game where you take on James.
I think he can take the show on the road too.
I think he'd probably sell out arenas if he really wanted to
and have these people compete against him.
How about this?
I thought about this trivia night.
You know how they have teams of trivia things where you fill in your answers?
Imagine teams going against James.
Oh, I like that.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah, but you have them fill out and apply and a couple hundred bucks to do it
and cash prizes on the back, and it's James versus your team.
I mean, there's a lot of things you can do there.
People pay $40 to go sit in an arena for two and a half
hours to watch that. I think so.
And the money just keeps on coming. Every city has
a bunch of people that love the trivia. I mean,
I would probably go if old Jeopardy! James was coming to town.
Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of Jeopardy! fans, right?
And you put Red Panda up there, too?
Oh!
I'd go without a heart. I mean, Jeopardy! James and
Red Panda? I mean, come on. It was like
two, three weeks ago, I watched an E60 on Red Panda.
Remember how she had that one spill?
Yeah.
Did you ever know why she had that one spill?
It was on purpose, wasn't it?
No.
So she has her unicycle or whatever she uses.
She's used it for years and years and years.
At one of the airports, it got stolen.
Oh, come on.
Around the luggage carousel.
So they did their best to find her one.
Faulty equipment!
Faulty equipment.
And it cost a lot of money for one of these
professional unicycles.
I can't remember who it was, but they bought her a new one
and she obviously hasn't dropped one.
Somebody grabbed my bag off the carousel
and almost dropped a fucking elbow.
As you should.
I saw him grabbing it and I'm like, yo!
And then I put it back down.
I don't go pee until after I get my bag off the carousel.
Yeah, you got to get your bag off the carousel.
It's a big deal.
I check a bag every time.
Because if you lose your unicycle.
Yes.
I mean, if your life depends on a certain unicycle and you lose said unicycle, I mean,
it ruined everything.
But not enough people know about that story.
Not enough people. Because that story not enough people
because like everyone
saw her drop it
in my head
I think Red Panda
I go
almost perfect
almost perfect
but instead it wasn't her
it was the fucking
it was the unicycle
you get a special
about that unicycle
it was a nice
what are you talking about
what's so special
about the unicycle
it was like a 10 minute special
do yourself a favor
find it and watch it
what do you think
if Lance Armstrong
you think if Lance Armstrong
was just subbed in a new bicycle the day before one
of them toured to France, he would have been able to do it?
No, because he had a little electric power thing in his fucking bike that made him spin
better.
Well, he had his heart pumping three times as big as normal humans, and he was full of
blood dope.
We're not sure Red Panda isn't doing that.
Nobody's been testing you.
Nobody cares.
You know why?
Because Red Panda is the picture of perfection whenever it comes to whatever she does.
If you get rid of one little X factor, it changes
everything, mentally and physically.
What if you play
in the major leagues, you're a shortstop, and you
don't have a glove, and somebody goes and buys
you a new one right out of the store and gives it to you?
You adapt and overcome.
I almost dropped Pop Flock because it wasn't my
glove in my professional baseball game.
It's not broken the way you like it.
See that?
It doesn't fit my hand away.
I had to put two fingers out instead of three fingers out.
I mean, it was a whole big operation.
But I made it happen.
But it's a much different playing field than Red Panda.
On a hardwood floor, one wheel, all the way up in the air, some perfect China on her head.
Come on.
I'm just saying, the greats don't make excuses.
Yeah, they do. I would have been like, we're not doing the show. I'm just saying, the grades don't make excuses. Yeah, they do.
I would have been like, we're not doing the show.
I don't have my unicycle.
I think that's a lie, by the way.
I think the grades do make a lie.
Just watch it.
And by the way, Lance, I learned this from you, me, and Dupree.
He said it's not about the bike.
I think Lance is a liar, though.
No, Lance, he literally came out in one of the documentaries I watched.
He had little, there was a little power, a little gear inside his fucking thing oh it never came out his exact
name but the person that created the bike was like well i wasn't allowed to talk for 10 years
now i'm allowed to talk a very prominent and successful cyclist utilized my bike for a long
time they were able to put it in between his um uh great move like a transmission gears yeah so you know where the pedals connect yeah yeah he was able to put it in between his... Great move. Like a transmission? One of his gears.
Yeah, so you know where the pedals connect?
Yeah.
He was able to put something in there that basically just,
it was like a power assist, but it was so small.
Like it didn't, it wouldn't pedal the bike for you,
but it would definitely assist. Also, when he coasted, it gave him some more zip.
No, it would pedal it.
It would make it easier.
It's a big help going up those hills.
Nobody said Lance Armstrong's name, so this might be a little bit of slander.
But the person that did it, and I saw him do the interview, said he had to sign an NDA for 10 years,
said a very prominent and successful cyclist.
I have never heard of another successful cyclist other than Lance Armstrong.
That one guy, but I can't remember his name.
Floyd Landis.
There it is.
Oh, yeah.
But never heard of him.
Yeah, he won a tour all doped up. The Frenchman. So this guy was talking to me. He was talking to Lance, to you, maybe Floyd Landis. There it is. Oh, yeah. Never heard of him. Yeah, he won a tour all doped up.
The Frenchman.
So this guy was talking to me.
He was talking to Lance, to you, maybe Floyd Landis.
One of them, though, had a little fucking power gear in there.
You only heard of Floyd because of Lance.
Yeah, true.
Correct.
Pretty good.
Pretty accurate.
Yeah.
Nobody gives a fuck about that Floyd guy.
So has Red Panda found her a normal unicycle?
No, someone bought her a brand new one.
Yeah, she had to break that in, though.
I bet you she took off a couple gigs, you know what I mean?
Whenever a singer has a sore throat.
Yeah, Ginger.
What's that?
You got to drink Ginger.
Oh, I thought you were making fun of Redhead.
No, no, no.
I was like, Ed Sheeran does not deserve what you just did right there.
Ginger and Honey, probably, right?
Yes.
Yeah, but they take off a couple dates.
Whenever you got a bad unicycle, you got to break in a new one.
You need to take off a couple half times. Not her, though. She goescle, you got to break in a new one. You need to take off a couple of halftimes.
Not her though.
She goes out and she tried.
She tried.
Bad move.
With that other one.
Yes.
Yeah, because she's honorable lady.
Yeah.
People paid not to see these basketball players.
No.
No.
Because most of the times the games that I went to
and she was at,
shitty basketball games.
I was there for halftime.
I didn't know if it was going to be quick change
or a red panda.
But if I knew it was one of those two, money well spent.
Actually, the tickets were normally given to me.
So time invested, well worth it.
I have a couple thoughts on my mind, not thoughts like a whore.
I'll give some takes while time keeps going.
That's the dumbest.
I think Andre Iguodala.
Is that pronounced right?
Yes.
Close.
I heard it both a different way.
Iguodala.
I think Andre Iguodala is the most underappreciated, underrated,
underrespected player
year in and year out, and let me tell you why.
I hear zero things about this guy.
Zero things.
Zero conversation about him until the finals every single year.
Everybody talks about Klay.
Everybody talks about Steph.
Draymond Green gets a lot of chatter.
Everybody talks about, obviously, Kevin Durant.
Even Stephen Kerr gets a lot of chatter because he's normally, obviously, Kevin Durant. Even Stephen Kerr gets a
lot of chatter because he's normally hurt for a fucking
spree. He's out. Everybody
gets talked about on that team
except for Andre Iguodala.
People forget when he was with the Sixers, all-star.
Whenever he was with the Sixers, he was
an all-star. I watched him come into the Indiana Pacers
in fucking wreck shop for
a long time. Then he signs with the
Golden State Warriors and becomes a ghost man.
Just kind of disappears,
get subbed in until the finals.
Whenever he comes in,
hit the game winner there in game two,
basically in fucking Toronto,
right there in Aubrey's face.
Then he's the lockdown guy and he only shows up in the finals.
And I tweeted that.
I said,
I forget how good Andre Iuodala is until the finals
every single year and i got a bunch of people was like that's because he doesn't play good the rest
of the year i'm like well that's incredible if he just chills out until the finals i like him even
more at that point if he's just hanging around listen guys you know i'll be there at the finals
you guys get us there i'll fucking do the thing. He's the lockdown defender. He shows up in big times.
He seems to be a weird fucking dude,
and all he does is make big plays in the finals.
I like Andre Iguodala.
He does, during the regular season,
get his 25 minutes, 12 to 15 points a game.
And then, what was it, two years ago,
he won finals MVP.
That's what I'm saying.
Sorry, before KD got there, he won finals MVP.
He never gets talked about.
But let's not go too far about
this finals. He had eight points yesterday.
Or he had eight points. It wasn't
just about the eight points. It's about when
the eight points were.
It's all about showing up
whenever it matters, which is what the
Andre Iguodala
brand is all about.
The brand, Brandre
Iguodala,
is about showing up in big points,
hitting that game winner,
right in the face of fucking Aubrey Graham,
who is very much,
is his last name Graham?
Yeah.
Really?
I had fucking no idea.
Good pull.
I'm pretty excited about it.
Good pull, yeah.
I'm pretty excited about my brain doing that.
I enjoy just on,
he's weird though.
He seems like a weird dude his legs are built weird
too his whole body he's like built kind of like a tyrannosaurus rex like he's got big like big
long legs he always has like the three-quarter um uh zito compression pants on he never really
looks like he's that comfortable on the court his shot is is awkward, but then whenever you need him, you know what
Andre's going to do? He's going to show up for you. He's one of the
few guys that gave LeBron a lot of
problems. Him and Kawhi Leonard would
wreck LeBron. I think in the Western Conference Finals,
if my memory serves me correctly,
he stripped somebody
for the win, and then he threw the ball straight up
in the air, I think. He's a lockdown defender
who shows up all the
goddamn time. All defensive team, I think
three times. Guy walks.
I say this to you guys, and I dare you
to come at me. This guy walks
into the Hall of Fame.
Andre Iguodala? Walks
into the Hall of Fame.
Gorman Sports Network.
I'm just telling you. Everybody says he does.
He does this. Finals MVP, three-time
NBA champion. Could be four-time after this year.
All-defensive team twice or three times.
And like you said, when he was – hell, he played in Phoenix.
Yeah, on those teams that he played with before there.
Yeah, he's going in the Hall of Fame.
He never gets talked about, though.
He's very low-key.
Every once in a while, I saw him make an appearance on something.
It might have been golf.
He might have made an appearance on something.
He plays golf.
Yeah, he made an appearance on golf, and he he was talking and I was like, look at Andre
getting out there a little bit. Never gets talked about
that guy. I wonder if he loves or hates
his role in Golden State just being the guy that
nobody even thinks about or cares about. Gotta
love it. You think so? Gotta love it.
Not everybody would love that, by the way.
So before he hit those
shots, two shots in game
two, he was 0 for 13 in his
last four games on threes, but no one was talking
about it. But then when he hits the big shot,
everyone talks about him. He's not supposed to make those
threes, Tony. They got other guys for that.
It's a good spot to be in.
If you don't do well, big deal.
We weren't expecting it. If you do great, we'll talk
about it. Now he's Robert Ory. And he'll get on
Pat's show. And like Foxy said,
he'll match up against LeBron, against Kawhi.
They're throwing him on their top star. I mean, Lance Stevenson, probably the only other guy he'll match up against LeBron, against Kawhi. They're throwing him on their top star.
I mean, Lance Stevenson, probably the only other
guy that could match up with LeBron, like Andre
Iguodala. But I love
Andre, man. He's a consummate team
first guy. I think he always has been, even when
he was scoring 20 points a game. I think he's
just always been a team first guy. Speaking of
team first guys, how about Kevin Durant meeting
his teammates in the tunnel as they were
coming off, not wearing a single golden state and it might be a different culture over there in the nba
but him not having a single golden state thing on at all was wild to me up in chicago not yeah he
had a white socks hat on which is interesting because i i rewound it because i thought i was
just looking at it and i was um back on the wagon, by the way.
Nope, off the wagon.
I was watching it, and I was just watching it,
and I see him dapping up, and I just kind of moves forward.
He poked his head out first, I guess, and he turned around.
It was during the game.
There were six seconds left, I think 5.8 seconds or whatever it was.
After the shot was made, they showed him in the background there,
and it just goes by.
Then I'm like, does that motherfucker not have a single Golden state thing on so i rewound it and then i played it
again and i looked through his i'd like look him up and down i feel like a weirdo i'm like i'm
checking out kenny he's not a single golden saying this dude's just trolling and then i'm like wait
did he have a fucking new york hat on i go back and he's like no chicago hat on what is he doing
is there a chance he goes to the bulls? Like Kevin Durant, I feel like everything is calculated with Kevin
Durant. I honestly feel like everything he does
is calculated. Even the pink
phone case that he had on in that picture where
people see him fake tweeting or
whatever he is from the locker room. I think
everything Kevin Durant does is calculated.
I wonder why he had that White Sox
hat on. That's very interesting to me.
But him not wearing a single Golden State
thing was very... I was like, holy shit.
How come he's not on the bench? That's my question.
I don't have a problem with it, but
that's just my question. Well, I think when you're on the bench,
you have to be dressed up, right? I think you have to have a
suit on. I think you have to be...
It's like, I don't know, because when LeBron was
hurt, it wasn't a suit, but like...
He was dressed up. There is a dress code.
Yeah, a little bit. And I think those chairs
are very uncomfortable.
And he's six foot what, eight or something like that?
He's close to seven.
Yeah, seven.
And they put you in those little tiny seats.
I mean, it's a very uncomfortable setup.
So I respect the fact that he's hanging out in the back,
like just kind of can do whatever he wants.
I would have just thought like maybe a warrior's hoodie on or something,
or a warrior's sweats or something just along those lines,
but it was the complete opposite.
It's definitely a status thing. No other player those lines, but it was the complete opposite.
It's definitely a status thing.
No other player gets to sit back there if they're hurt.
Chara, right?
Chara got a chance in the NHL.
This is a whole different animal, but he watched it from the locker room.
I feel like that's a star thing. Yeah, they're usually in the press box in suits, I might add.
Yeah, in suits.
Chara was in full outfit, like full game attire watching it.
Well, that's probably the case.
Sometimes they'll go out
and take warm-ups yeah and if they're too too hurt they won't play they'll just still have the pads
on shit but yeah all cases are treated independently like bruce arians bruce arians had an
incredible quote he was like everybody doesn't get treated equally because not all your motherfuckers
contribute to this team like that would would never happen in football, right?
Which is so true, by the way.
I love that quote.
He was like, if Reggie Wayne does something and some slapdick does something,
I'm going to tell you what, you slapdick going to get judged a lot harder.
Such a real thing.
He used to give these speeches about how, hey, listen,
this ain't a five-star game, okay?
Our five stars are going to link up against their five stars.
It's all you average motherfuckers.
You've got to do your job.
Or he'd be like, this is a five-star game, okay?
Our stars got to do better than their stars.
All you average players, just don't get in the way.
Bruce Arians was the greatest.
He kept it real.
I absolutely loved him.
He used to call me a five-star player, by the way.
That's very nice of him.
You were.
I agree. I agree, Todd the way. Nice. You were. I agree.
I agree, Todd.
Phil position, number one.
That would be the thing.
It would be Mack V.
Did their returner really fucking good?
We know that, right?
You just got to eliminate him.
That ain't that hard, is it, Pat?
Shit.
You just kicked the ball high, right?
Yeah.
Thanks, PA.
Thanks for the coaching tip.
Just kicked the ball high.
He was the best you won't all get treated equally
because not all your motherfuckers contribute equally
that's a real thing
that should be on a shirt
that should be on a shirt
that is a real quote though
because everybody's like well that's not fair
because this person
it's also not fair how much you suck compared to that person
ain't that Kevin Durant is a monster because there's pressure. It's like, well, it's also not fair how much you suck compared to that person.
Ain't that?
I mean, Kevin Durant is a monster.
Yes.
If Kevin Durant wants to roll around in the back and some 15th guy on the team wants to do the same thing,
he's not allowed.
It's like, well, maybe you should be Kevin Durant.
That'd be great for everybody.
By the way, if I'm a betting man, and I am, he's going to New York.
I guess that's what everybody's saying.
He's already moved his entire business over there, I guess. He's going to New York. I guess that's what everybody's saying. He's already moved his entire business over there, I guess.
He's going to New York.
Darius Butler said on this show, and he seems to be tapped into the world.
And also, somebody else said it.
It was like in the basketball world, if rumors start getting out,
like those motherfuckers talk over there.
Like if it starts getting out by more than one, it's true.
Like there's not really many things that leak out that don't happen.
I mean, they were talking about LeBron to the Lakers
like two years before LeBron went to the Lakers.
It's just the way it goes.
A lot of chatter about Durant to New York.
I would have thought he had a New York hat on, though,
in that whole situation so he could troll everybody.
Instead, it was the White Sox, the bad team in Chicago.
Clean hat, though.
It's a clean hat.
Yeah, I remember you take off a part of the O and it says sex.
What a joke.
Oh, I can see that now.
Or Sharpie.
Yeah, or Sharpie.
My brother's friend did that.
He thought he was the coolest kid.
Turns out he wasn't.
He walked in and he had the hat on and I was like,
oh, nice white socks hat.
He's like, look at it closer.
Oh, sex. I get like, oh, nice white socks hat. He's like, look at it closer. Oh, sex.
I get it.
Cool, man.
You ever had that?
No.
Probably not.
And then I thought it was pretty clever.
Yeah.
And I wondered why people didn't do it beforehand.
And then I put my Wichita State Shockers hat on and walked out the front door.
That hat was electric.
That was a great hat. did i pass that one yeah
yeah a thousand percent i have a couple thoughts on my mind not thoughts like a whore i'll give
some takes while time keeps going barefoot kickers were in the news this weekend on the social media
because there was a tribute video that uh the n NFL put out to barefoot kickers. I got
asked a lot about what happened to barefoot kickers. Why are there no more barefoot kickers?
And the reason is technology is the answer to your question. Not that they didn't have the
technology back then, by the way. Soccer cleats were very much in the proper technology for
kickers to use back then. I just think people were much dumber back
in the day. So football cleats are so thick, right? There's a lot of padding on top. Back in the day,
shoes used to be so big. And whenever you're kicking a ball, you want as little cloth in
between your foot and the ball as possible because the top of your foot, the bone on top of your foot
is so hard. That's what you want to kind of indent the football so you can send it a longer way.
So whenever those big cleats were made where there was a lot of padding in between it would kind of kind of suffocate the indention a little bit so the ball couldn't travel as far so somebody was
like i'm gonna go barefoot it'll be as hard as possible can travel a lot longer way now granted
there were soccer cleats around for a long time that could have done the trick it could have been
nice but once one person does something good and they have a little bit of success
monkey see monkey do in every single aspect now once cleats continue to evolve and kangaroo
leather was introduced which by the way shout out to the kangaroos i don't know what needed to
happen to them or why they need to pass away but their leather really changed the game now there's
a composite leather that comes with everything everything's so thin so it's almost as if you're barefoot while having a little bit of
protection on top of your foot whenever i was playing in college there was a kid from louisville
who kicked barefoot because his dad kicked barefoot and we played in the middle of december i believe
it was single digits and this motherfucker had an
ugg boot on so he had a football cleat on his left foot and then an ugg on his right like all the way
up to like the the the the middle like the right below the middle of his shin like a full uggs boot
what an asshole i would normally go talk to the other kickers and punters and say what's up that kid I refuse to
fucking say hello I told Pat White I refuse to be anywhere near the guy wearing the fucking Uggs
boot because he's taking kickers back at least 20-30 years in the stereotype so then he obviously
missed a kick because his foot was too cold the ball was too hard and not that I didn't miss kicks
but there was a lot of situation there where he was setting himself up for failure when cleats nowadays do basically
the same thing without the hypothermic potential on the back side there so if you see a kicker
kicking barefoot know a that he's a dumb kicker b that he's stupid and c you do not want to be
friends with him because he's so fucking stupid. So all of those things really ring true.
Just know back in the day it was monkey.
See monkey do a little bit of success happen.
But nowadays technology,
it's a whole new world.
I,
I,
I don't,
I am not a,
I just don't enjoy the thought of it.
It makes you look so bad,
especially that kid with his Ugg boot.
He was trotting around and warmupsups, and he would take it off,
kick a ball, put the Ugg boot back on.
And I just looked over at him, and I was like, I hate that guy.
It's so dumb.
I absolutely hate that guy.
It was so cold.
It hurts, too.
Hurts so bad.
Do they tape up at all, like their foot?
No, it's bare foot.
It is literally bare foot.
I don't know why you
would do it i think the mental pressure of how bad it would hurt would scare you from swinging as hard
i think there is zero things that would would help you kick with it i just personally i don't get it
there was a time in my life where i was worried that the knot that i would tie in my shoe could
potentially get in the way,
so I would tuck it underneath to the side.
As I grew older and got better, I realized that that wasn't going to do anything either.
I mean, there's just a lot of things that have kind of come and go that thought you could make you a better kicker, thought people would make them a better kicker, whether it
was stretching and this type of stretch and doing this type of thing.
And in the end, it's all bullshit bullshit just kick the fuck out of the ball yeah is there a point where you just
kick the ball so much you no longer have feeling like martial artists can't feel anything on their
shins yeah my my my foot i mean from cramming it in shoes that are so tight for so long the back
of my foot for having so many blisters.
The blisters thing went away when I was like 14 years old because of soccer, and my feet are just my...
I'm not sure my feet have much feeling in it.
And also, by the way, my feet are very gangster, man.
I can go barefoot on just about anything
and kind of keep it moving
because of the battles that they've been through,
but that still doesn't...
There still is no excuse to go barefoot kicking honestly it makes
no sense i got a question if nike came out with a sock a five-toe sock that you just you slide it
on but on the top on that bone that you were talking about i was just investigating my bone
right there i see what you're saying my foot bone can you put a can you put a metal strip on a sock
and kick and and get by by the rules?
I don't think it would help.
It wouldn't help?
I don't think it helps, honestly.
Just like old Dempsey had the straight. Square tall.
And I guess he had a little metal in there.
I could see how a hammer could potentially help, especially that.
With the foot, that bone that you're hitting the ball with, that thing's.
It's harder than anything you can buy, right?
I'm not sure you're going to get much harder than that.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I wouldn't think so.
I think the steel might hurt you almost because of the impact on your skin while you're hitting the ball.
The bone that's about an inch below your hinge, right?
Right here.
Yeah, right there on top.
That's the one I'm talking about.
I didn't know if I was deformed or that was the one you were talking about.
Yeah, that's the one you're looking for right there on top.
Fuck, I should have kicked.
Oh, you feel like you've got a good bone there?
I've got a good bone here.
You've got a good bone there?
Also, the forehead right here, this is supposed to be the hardest bone in your body right here on your hairline that's where
they teach you to soccer headers they're like yeah it's the hardest bone in your body i'm like i just
don't think that's how you really do yeah man just throw your head in there i i always i never played
the football growing up except for a couple weeks playing little people football with Diggs' family.
But the – so I never really got concussions as a child.
But I was throwing my head into things for soccer on a very regular basis.
I would love to know what that all does.
It hurts. I mean, just taking soccer balls right in the face because of something.
I would like to know what that has done in my brain.
It's got to do something.
For some reason, it never gets brought up in men's soccer,
but women's soccer, like some places,
the heading is outlawed because of too many connections.
They used to give those.
Those helmets, right?
Don't put those on.
Just like you shouldn't kick barefoot, by the way.
Barefoot kickers are a thing of the past,
and I respect what they've done
because past kickers have got us to where we are.
Ray Guy changed the game,
which has given forth to the technique that guys use nowadays.
Kickers back in the day have kind of transformed the way you kick to get to where we're at now.
But there's a reason it was left in the past.
And rocket ships don't come equipped with rearview mirrors.
They dip.
People forget.
Same with kicking techniques.
Yeah, I mean, you've forgotten more about kicking than any of us will ever know.
So we'll go ahead and give you a pass on that one.
Appreciate that.
And ladies and gentlemen, that wraps up.
I have some thoughts.
I have a couple thoughts on my mind, not thoughts like a whore.
I'll give some takes while Ty will keep score.
We interrupt this incredibly deep and thoughtful conversation
happening by me and the boys about the world that we live in to tell you that most guys have tried different ways to last longer.

in the hockey world, Nick?
Series is Boston up
2-1. Oh no, last night.
Yeah, as of this recording. So as of
this recording, we don't know. We like to think the Blues
tied it up 2-2 because we want some more hockey.
Let's play Gloria.
Let's play Gloria. Great breakdown there.
And that's hockey time.
Okay.
There you go.
I tried my best there to get real hockey time there.
And I mean, what happened?
Oh, you weren't going to cut us off if we actually went into it?
I was saying nothing.
I was saying absolutely nothing.
I was just sitting here waiting for a Stanley Cup final,
good conversation to be had so I could potentially learn something
because I was watching the takeover show while watching the slaughtering in the background with the Bruins just doing what
they did to the Blues. And I wanted to hear about why, who was doing what, but instead we just got
to, as of this recording, 2-1. Well, you said it. I mean, Bruins absolutely slaughtering the Blues.
Binnington, who's been a rock all series for some reason, just looked like he was lost.
But boy, he looked amazing yesterday, though.
What a great win.
The Blues crushed him.
Yeah, the Blues crushed him.
Jeopardy James lost.
The Blues got a big win, 2-2, going into Game 5, which is in?
Game 5 is in Boston.
Back in Boston, back in the garden up there.
I'm excited for Stanley Cup playoff hockey.
It's the best thing on earth.
That was genuine.
I appreciate that.
That was a lie.
I do love playoff hockey, man.
The Penguins losing so early.
Really took the wind out of your sails.
It really did.
No, it just stole hockey from me.
I think about watching it, and then I'm always just like,
hmm, hockey's dead.
In the way that they lost, too.
That just sucked.
Easy.
All right.
What's your problem?
I have no problem.
You just brought up Pittsburgh and when they lost early.
And I said, yeah, plus the way they lost.
That had to suck for Pittsburgh backers everywhere.
Hey, I don't have a dog in this fight.
My team's on it.
They've been playing golf for a while.
Who's your team?
Detroit Red Wings.
Followed closely by the National Predators, they've been playing golf for a while. Who's your team? Detroit Red Wings. Followed closely by the National Predators,
who are also playing golf.
The National Predators?
Nashville.
You can't just pick up teams.
I did that with the Lions.
You can't do that with the fucking Predators.
I know, but born and raised, Detroit,
always had that there, then moved to Nashville,
and I caught the fish flu.
I started watching what they do. It seems seems very like it's a very fun thing to be a
hockey fan in nashville right now it is it is they really enjoy the fuck out of it it's something
for them which is weird well they were good there but but you were there at the draft and you saw
all the people on broadway and everything that's it before every game not not not that amount but
there are people outside the stadium and up on Broadway that are just everywhere.
I can understand how that's an electric atmosphere.
I think they also should get a lot more credit
for the beer chug starting on the Jumbotrons.
Oh, absolutely.
Because Taylor LeJuan, Quentin Spain, and a couple others.
Jack Conklin, the big guy.
You know, it was Mariota wasn't chugging on the thing.
That's why.
Well, because kids look up to you.
Yeah.
And honestly, I'm sick of these quarterbacks getting disgusting images up on those Jumbotrons
when there are potential little children watching.
You know, those beers being chugged at that rate is a direct correlation to binge drinking,
which is not what our heroes should be doing.
He's probably afraid he'd get injured.
Maybe be a role model.
Has that jumped the
shark yet? Close.
I don't think beer chugging has ever
jumped the shark.
I will say this, though,
and this is another thing
for Dave Portnoy to feel
good about. Whenever we did that college tailgate
show, he literally said to me,
he said, I don't know what the show's going to look like, but I know it's going to
end with you chugging against somebody. i was like what do you mean he was
like yeah we're just going to pick a random kid uh who's probably a good chugger and then i want
you to chug against them because a good beer chug should be on tv all the time is what dave
portnoy's exact words were his exact words were i don't know what the show is going to look like
but at the end you're going to chug a beer against some kid that we find who's good it's just it's
way it's going to be and we did that at the end of every episode.
There was one time I was incredibly hungover. I lost okay
because I almost puked. But other than that,
it was a complete slaughtering.
That one was a tall boy, too. Yeah, it was a big one.
They didn't tell you. They didn't give me a heads up that it was fucking
18 ounces. I was fucking, I could barely breathe
because of how hungover I was.
What would happen if Andrew Luck goes on the old Jumbatron?
I have no idea, to be honest.
I have no clue. He likes craft beers, from what I've heard.
So thick beers are his thing.
To look at him, I bet you he can chug.
That's what I'm saying.
I think he could probably take down a light boy pretty quick,
if I had to guess.
But I enjoy the thought of these quarterbacks chugging
and everything like that.
ESPN's even getting behind it now and all this stuff.
I mean, they're a year behind.
But I am a big fan of the beer chug.
Because let me tell you what a chug does.
A chug is a people pleaser.
No matter where I've chugged something, it has made the crowd around me happy.
It doesn't matter if I was at a college tailgate.
It doesn't matter if I was at a college party.
It doesn't matter if I was surrounded by millionaires in Tennessee. It doesn't matter if I was in Morocco, surrounded by Muslims in the basement of a Moroccan rug
company where there was no happiness to be found at all. I was almost being looked at as if I was
a target until I took a picture of their tea and dumped that thing upside down in my mouth.
And the whole place started celebrating and parading around me. The chug brings people together unlike any other drinking thing can do. Maybe a shotgun can do the same,
but it's still a chug. Maybe a beer bong can do the same, but it's still a chug.
But if you can down anything in a rapid fashion, it seems to be an atmosphere lifter,
which I am here for forever as an avid chugger. David Bakhtiari told me he gave me one of my chugs a seal of approval.
Thanks, David.
I give you a seal of approval.
How about that, David?
I like what he's doing, though, by the way.
I like what Bakhtiari's doing a lot.
I'm a big fan of it.
Out of all your chugs I've seen,
the fastest one was definitely after the draft, right, when you were done.
A lot of people were saying that was a seven ounce beer for how fast I made
that thing disappear.
I literally have been chugging things since I was in my teens.
It was a crowd pleaser with Gatorade as a kid.
Then it quickly moved into Red Bull and beer at high school parties.
Then it moved into straight beers until it was a two story beer bong with six
beers in it.
Now granted that thing disappeared and
came reappeared but whenever you can chug you can chug not everybody can chug but the people that
can it can really bring a group of people together prove your point you just talking about chugging
lifted me up see it's just the way if you if there's a down party in a down moment and not
everybody can chug and not everybody should chug by the way i'm if there's a down party in a down moment and not everybody can chug and not everybody
should chug by the way i'm not recommending this for everybody but if you're a good chugger
i think you owe it to the atmosphere and the environment that you're in to make something
disappear if it's a little bit down is there an age limit on that uh how old you are you mean
no because the ziggy zaggy ziggy zaggy oi oi oi guy on the man show is like 90 years old making
things disappear in his gullet.
And I don't think there's an age limit at all.
Rest in peace to that guy, by the way.
If anything, it just gets more impressive.
Yeah, the older you get.
Wait, six beers?
Yeah, that beer bung, yeah, it was bad.
I puked it up.
Kind of offended people think you were doctoring chugs.
Like, there's no funny business here.
No, man.
I'll just make a thing disappear, bro.
What do you want from me?
It's literally what I've been doing.
And I had to retire it, by the way yeah i had to retire the
before this whole chug thing started happening with these big name notable people i had to retire
my chug because everywhere we would go people would want to chug against me and it was getting
to the point where i was chugging 20 to 30 beers everywhere i was going because i refused to turn
any of them down because as a chugger,
when somebody walks up and says, yo, I want to chug against you, bitch. It's like hard not to
be like, okay, fuck you. How about that? And then wham, slam. Thank you, bro. Get the fuck out of
here. And that was happening 20 to 30 times anytime I was in public around any. So I had
to publicly retire it just to say like, Hey, I'm too old to be doing 30 beer chugs in a night i can't do it anymore there's another generation of chuggers i
think coming up behind me and by the way there is and i'm very proud of them and the internet's
starting to showcase them and i'm very pumped up about it i'm happy the chug is getting a notable
fame and the notoriety that is currently shit where were the chuggers in the early 90s following
me around man that was the fucking i'm just i'm not saying i started the chugging thing but i drank a beer a certain way and that
was how i did it whether i was bellied up to a bar at a football game yeah it was down yeah there's
a couple i mean there's people that can drink beers fast i agree there's people that can drink
things fast there's just a different fucking animal to a chug uh i i used to be able to suck
drinks down i used to slam
pitchers in college now those were awesome days those days were next level my friend chris neal
who was my teammate in college um when i posted the video of the chug with shane leckler directly
after the draft announcement he uh he's from i forget if it's new york or new jersey or eastern
pennsylvania somewhere he's got an accent.
And he said, I remember back when number 40 used to chug pitches like it was water in his actual thing.
And it's one of those things, though.
Whenever you do that, by the way, it's just like a dance circle.
Whenever you do that, the entire place gets lifted.
I mean, you're sacrificing your tomorrow.
You are sacrificing your tomorrow for the environment that you're currently in,
but it's worth it.
So I'm proud of the chuggers.
Here's to the chuggers.
Bottoms up, cuz.
Any naysayers, just try to find some footage from the after party at Pat's New Year's Eve show.
Drinking fucking 24-ounce Bud Lights in like.8 seconds.
It's bad, though.
I still have those videos.
Well, it didn't end great.
I had to publicly retire.
I literally had to publicly retire at the Chug,
just for the good of my soul, man.
We were going places, and I'd just be walking by,
just minding my own business, and somebody would be like,
oh, you think you're good at Chug?
I'm like, motherfucker, it's going to have to happen right now.
And then his little friends would be around, and they'd'm like motherfucker it's gonna have to happen right now and then his little
friends would be around um
and they'd be like oh we have a beer right here you gonna do it or not
and it's like in my head I'm like
I got somewhere to be I got somewhere
to go but boy it'd be nice
just to embarrass this kid right in front of his friends
I just remembered how you used to drink coffee
because when we'd be hung over
and because you don't drink coffee often
but when you would get hung over you would want it to kind of wake you up obviously and so you would order a coffee
just straight black with ice not an ice coffee you'd ask for a black coffee with a cup of ice
you'd put the ice in the coffee to cool it down then you would chug the cup of coffee yeah just
flip it upside down yeah always wait by the way until like at least the group around you is
watching too so that you can do it and then put it down.
Because the reactions are normally pretty good.
There's a couple people that are like, oh, that asshole over there.
And then every once in a while, you'll get somebody in the background that's like, I think I just saw a magic trick.
I had to stop doing it, though, Todd.
That's the key, though.
You want to be in that elite group of people that can do it so fast that people watching they're like is that a fucking trick yeah that's the special
chunk yeah there's only a few of us i mean there's only a few people i've only seen i really really
respecting the chugging game yeah there was a kid in our last show in youngstown ohio for that
college tailgate thing yep all his friends were calling me like a coward and shit on on like
twitter i was like so when we met the kid before and i was like you're the kid calling me like a coward and shit on, on like Twitter. I was like,
so when we met the kid before and I was like,
you're the kid calling me a coward all day.
And he was like, Oh,
we're just joking,
man.
I was like,
yeah,
yeah.
Okay.
And I didn't appreciate that.
I,
there was like 10 kids calling me a coward and a bitch and all
these like,
my friend's going to smoke you tonight or whatever.
So we chugged it.
And it was the first time I ever fucking like was like a fuck you to a kid.
I did not like it at all.
I did not appreciate it i
bakhtiari said that he chugged three beers the the bakhtiari challenge is three beers i'm not
sure i could do that at the age of 32 to be honest but i could do one pretty good i'm sure you could
i'm not as good as i once was but once i'm as good once as i ever was. Wasn't there another story you had too with 18 and Vinatieri?
Oh, yeah.
It was at Texas Roadhouse.
It was awesome.
It was up in Anderson for training camp,
and we're all at dinner or something like that,
and something came up.
It was either an offensive lineman or maybe it was a local.
Something happened where Vinatieri put me up basically to a chug against
this person I forget if it was somebody on the team if they're on the team they didn't make the
team full-time they were just there for training camp or it might have been a local like something
was going on and they both bring out I think it was the 18 ounce cup uh and put it right in front
of me and Vinny's like hey man you feel pretty good right now I'm like yeah yeah what are you
talking about he's like okay good and so I Vinny, Vinny and Peyton basically start betting on me.
Like I was a Kentucky Derby horse.
It was like, it was literally like, like both of them came in my ear.
They didn't.
That's both of them.
Like whispered in my ear.
Like, you feel pretty good.
I'm like, yeah, I feel good.
They're like, all right.
And Peyton's like, I got a hundred on McAfee for sure.
And Vinny Terry was like, I got 200 on McAfee for sure. And Vinatieri was like,
I got 200 on McAfee.
And I was like,
am I getting any of this money?
And Vinatieri was like,
I got 300 on McAfee.
I appreciate you,
man.
And then obviously what happens happens.
And I,
I disappear.
I made it disappear and I put it down.
And as soon as I put it on the ground,
uh,
put it back on the table,
the kid was still like halfway or whatever.
And I think there was a couple of people that bet against me on the team.
Vinatieri is doing like this whole loud, obnoxious thing.
But yeah, I've won over a lot of people with that chug.
That chug has got me into a lot of doors, to be honest.
I'm happy I retired it.
If I ever get on a Jumbotron again, though.
Got to do it.
For sure. It's got to show up. Yeah. Got to do it. It's a show.
It's got to show up.
Yeah, got to do it.
You had a big game.
There is no big game.
Whatever.
That's the issue.
The local people tweeted out, like, who's the Pacers' Drake or whatever?
And a lot of local people started bashing me or whatever.
And then some people were like, McAfee's definitely our guy that we would put up there.
But if you had me, Robert Mathis, and Mike Epps courtside,
I think that'd be a pretty good little thing.
Hype squad.
Yeah, I think we would do pretty good.
I think we'd do pretty good there.
And I'd make beers disappear quicker than anybody else.
I think we could really get that place crazy.
We just got to get the Pacers good again.
I might start doing any of the fever games.
There you go.
WNBA.
Gorms will be with you.
Hey, I'm a big fan of that fever team.
They're good. They're supposed to be terrible and they're winning
They've won two in a row now
Head coach Pokey Chapman she sat next to me on a plane ride
Like a three hour plane ride her and I became good friends
I was like you know what I hope you do very well
I follow her on Instagram she follows me on Instagram
She's a big fan she'll comment on some shit if she sees it
She'll be like okay Pat
Thank you Pokey
So I'm pulling for the Indiana Fever
The Detroit Lions and the Indianapolis Colts
And chugging
to continue climbing to the mountaintop unlike the people that are waiting in line at everest
and dying poor bastards get off the mountain get off the money you're doing hope you had a good
time today we did we had a blast big thanks to matt patricia andy ruiz jr was supposed to be on the show today. Really? Jr.?
That was real.
Yeah.
The old knockout artist from Saturday Night was potentially going to be on the show today.
We'll see if we can get him for Thursday.
Nice.
Okay, go.
Me and his PR guy currently in text conversations.
He was loaded today, he said, so he's apologized.
So we definitely got jumped by a lot of people but i think pa uh
possibly thursday it's hard to get these interviews a lot of people are like why don't you get joe
rogan on the show i'm like okay what am i supposed to do just fucking clap twice hey joe joe hey joe
rogan yeah we don't have a booker i mean there, there's literally no booking. It is Nick Moroto sending a phantom email to James Holzhauer.
It is me accidentally meeting the PR guy for the Lions.
It's very difficult to get people on a show,
especially because everybody and their mom has a podcast.
So it's not as easy as it looks.
I'm trying my best, though.
Big thanks to Matt Patricia.
We're on a hell of a run right now.
We're on a hell of a run right now.
An old Andy Ruiz Jr. would be a nice one. When you said
loaded, I thought he was hammered from
celebrating, not loaded with interviews.
Might be.
Talking about chugging beer.
Ruiz. He gave a
shout out to his mom. He said, we don't have to
struggle no more, mom, or whatever. I was
like, man, that's a cool moment.
That was really fucking cool. A lot of people
were saying it was rigged.
Really?
Oh, come on.
Who gives a shit?
Who gives a shit?
How's an Anthony Joshua guy?
Listen, Ruiz Jr. also had 21 knockouts going into that fight.
Let's not undersell this dude.
He was an animal going into that fight.
But that Joshua guy looked like he did not prepare at all.
That's 1,000% what happened. He looked at him. prepare at all. Well, that's a thousand percent what happened.
He looked at him.
He's like, this dude looks like a fat slob.
I'm going to come in here and just, you know,
wipe the floor with him.
It happens every time.
That's what happened to Tyson when he got caught against Buster Douglas.
They're like, oh, Buster Douglas put off a miracle.
Also, Tyson came into the ring drunk.
Well, and also, I mean, for Buster Douglas
and for Andy Ruiz Jr.,
this is the night to become a fucking superstar.
Just like whenever you're a good team, right?
Patriots have to face this.
When I was at West Virginia,
every week was the other team's Super Bowl.
Every single week was the other team's Super Bowl.
Whenever the Colts were on a hell of a run,
we got every other team's best shot
because it was the biggest game of the year for them.
Just like with this Anthony Joshua guy
who's supposed to be one of the top heavyweights alongside deontay wilder and tyson fury i mean
any any fight you get is going to be the biggest fight of the other person's life now andy ruiz is
that guy on top of the mountain with four belts hanging off or three belts hanging off his arms
good for him i hope he never loses again i hope that guy wins forever he looked like he was humble
grateful and happy about the whole thing.
I'm excited for Andy Ruiz Jr.
I hope he comes on the show.
Anthony Joshua posted that photo with Drake.
Tough.
Can't do that, man.
You can't do that.
Put something like that in the atmosphere.
Honestly, you can't do that.
He looked good, though. He had to work out.
You know what I mean?
Some dudes just always look good.
Well, it's like pros and cons, right?
You get this picture with Drake.
You post it.
You know you're going to get a ton of likes.
You're going to get some girls sliding in your DMs.
Is it worth it to get your notoriety bumped?
Then you know you're just going to get smoked.
Still boxing.
You get fucking smacked in the temple.
There's not a whole lot you can do to counterbalance that.
Joe Rogan captioned that.
Anytime he's asked who's's gonna win a fight he never gives a definitive answer because in
combat sports literally everybody has a puncher's chance like your button is available to everybody
i think ruiz though after watching that he outboxed that fucking oh yeah i mean the entire
it wasn't just the three knockdowns or whatever in the one or two knockdowns in that one round he literally was moving and he looked like he was uh
in that video game he played knockout he looked like he was actually like playing where the other
guy was that big the beginning guy that just didn't fucking move at all that's what it looked
like deontay wilder everybody said should be pissed off because of anthony joshua deontay
wilder was supposed to be the biggest boxing match in modern history,
but now there's no shot of that.
That's what happens.
It does happen, doesn't it?
That's what's the great thing about sports, man.
You never know what's going to happen, especially with fighting.
You get some guy in there, it's all heart, big right hand.
It works.
I'm buying the pay-per-view when these guys fight again.
Andrew Ruiz Jr., though, just became a legend overnight.
I'm a fan.
I wish I could buy his jersey.
Can't buy his jersey.
I love any dude that doesn't look the part.
You know what I mean?
It looks like he just walked off the street, put on a pair of shorts, and gloved up.
I was watching some training videos of him, though.
He looked good.
He's legit.
He's an athlete.
And in that match, he looked good.
He was taking some shots, too.
Yeah, got a good chin on him.
Yeah, he does.
First ever Mexican heavyweight champ.
Yeah.
Good for him, man.
That's awesome.
Zito, you are Cuban.
I know, but we're all.
I'm on your side, too.
America, too.
America's closer to Mexico than Cuba is.
People forget that.
No, because down there on the bottom.
They're connected, though.
Connected? By land? To an island? Yeah. America to Mexico than Cuba is. People forget that. No, because down there on the bottom. They're connected, though. Connected?
By land?
To an island?
Yeah.
America to Mexico?
Yeah.
No, I thought you meant Cuba.
Oh, I thought you meant closer.
No, well, Cuba, well, I mean, America is definitely closer to Mexico, I guess, now that you think about it.
But Cuba's pretty close to Mexico, too, I think, down there, because the Cancun comes all the way out, doesn't it?
I'm going to say 50 miles from Miami.
Oh, yeah.
In Miami, it's like 75.
Cuba?
We're talking about from Cuba to Mexico.
Oh, I know.
That lady swam it or whatever.
With dolphins.
I met my Uber driver down in Miami last year.
Said he swam it as well from Cuba to Miami.
I believe it.
For sport or for freedom?
I'm not being funny.
It was him and his mom.
They hopped in a boat, and he said he swam, basically pedaled it with his feet all the way.
Oh, wow.
And as soon as you make it to the beach, you're good.
If you get caught before the beach, you have to go back.
But if you make it to the beach, you're good.
And they made it at like 4 a.m. or something.
90-mile swim?
Yeah, I think so.
It took them a little bit.
Paddle kick and he got to hang on to the bow.
But still, that's a lot of paddle kick.
And I would assume it wasn't just him. I would assume there was
a rotation that happened there.
But they made it back to land.
And I was like, man, what a night.
Hey, congratulations, man.
That's what I said.
That's a cool story.
Good swim, man.
That's incredible.
Key West is 94 miles to Cuba.
Cancun is 128 miles to Cuba.
There we go.
Cuba.
All right.
Cuba.
We're close.
We're closer to Cuba and to Mexico.
And to Mexico.
We just touch everybody.
I think sometimes that's what happens.
Sometimes people would argue that's what happens.
Thank you so much for listening, you guys.
Oh, here's a question for you guys to ponder. On the Twitter, best answer in at Nick Moroto's eyes,
win some free merch from our Independence Day collection
that we announced at the top of the show.
Still 20% off, by the way, if you're listening to the show through and through.
20% off, promo code America.
The entire store win 4th of July with our collection that the boys put together.
I wasn't really a part of any of the preparation, which is incredible, by the way.
Thank you all for handling that.
Took something off my plate.
It's very, very nice of you guys.
Here's the question that I would like an answer to.
something off my plate that's very very nice here's the question that i would like an answer to what if the asteroid that hit earth and killed the dinosaurs that we're trying to prepare for again
uh currently 2029 potentially all fake numbers yeah was a missile from another planet what if it was a missile from another planet and they saw what had happened and
they're like fuck can't do that again can't do what we did we kind of fuck that one up cannot
shoot that missile at another planet ever again oh my god now we got people trying to prepare for it now we
got people thinking we can battle against it we got movies saying that they uh old cousin bruce
willis just blew himself up inside of it what if that was just a missile from another planet's
galaxy like another alien that was just like and they saw it happen they're like oh fuck
yeah we just killed everything down there.
We will never send another one of those.
What if that was what it was?
I would like to hear what it could potentially be
and if you think it'll ever happen again.
And what if those are the aliens that are coming to see us
and they're reporting back?
They're like, yeah, by the way, they're back on track.
They forgot about it.
Yeah, they completely forgot about it.
Everything's good.
Once we get rid of all those things that we're eating, everybody,
the community thrived.
Thank you.
They had aliens eat old man in the controls.
Just push that one.
Ah, press the button.
That'll fit.
Foxy and I were talking about this a little bit
because the military, it's been happening for a couple of months.
The transition to reporting alien sightings and
ufo sightings is becoming much easier for military people it's been happening for like the last year
slowly if you watch the uh documentary unacknowledged it kind of explains all that stuff
um i think there are plenty of different alien options out there okay i think there are
sophisticated aliens like elon musk and the boys that come and travel here. I think there's white trash aliens out there that can't get here.
You know what I mean? Like, I think there's dumb ass aliens out there that can't get here.
I think they live inside planets. I think there's other galaxies they live in. I think the movie
avatar is a lot more specific and exact to what actually is going on than people give James
Cameron credit for personally. That's what I think.
You've got to travel like six years to get somewhere, and then when you get there, it's
a whole different operation with a whole different group of species and things like that.
Do you think Mr. Cameron's an alien?
I don't think Mr. Cameron's an alien, but he studies so hard.
I think he got inside information from government officials that told him, like, yo, we already
have a place like this.
Also Time Magazine.
Yeah, Ty saw him at an airport Also Time Magazine. Yeah, Ty saw him
at an airport reading Time Magazine. Yeah, he's a big Time Magazine guy.
Couldn't agree more. So that's how I
feel about the aliens. I also think, do you
think there's any possibility that sometimes
we confuse aliens with people from our own
future? Because I only say that because
if we had a time machine,
if we ever created Time Machine,
you're going to use it. You're going to go
back in time. Matt Groening. Yeah. Matt groening is without a doubt a time traveler i've i have a nine minute
video that's been seen a hundred million times laying out over 20 plus instances that aren't
just happenstance these things are calculated predictions that have come from the simpsons
and every time something new happens the simpsons predicted it happened i mean matt groening is the most humbled time traveler
because i think a lot of time travelers like they do the sports gambling or like they're
too easy come in and hit a lottery and then they're yeah groaning is just a fucking meticulous
uh like let me just play the long game here i'll do this whole thing that predicts the future slowly
make a billion dollars off of these cartoon characters do that do the whole thing and i just i honestly believe groaning
will never die until i see that then then it'll be a whole new ball game then there's pictures of
people that look oddly familiar to pictures from back in the day yeah it's weird there's a lot of
things that come forward that i don't know if it's photoshopped on the internet or real.
I do know that Groening, though, is fucking around with time travel.
Yeah, totally.
Did you just watch Interstellar this weekend, Todd?
No, but I have seen it.
And it does make me wonder.
I mean, because you would travel around in kind of what we would consider maybe alien spacecraft.
But it's just something that we created.
We were much better at building shit.
The future?
I don't know.
Yeah.
The future? I don't know. Yeah. The future.
Like a time machine could look like a foreign object from outer space, and it could travel
a lot faster.
Like if you were to right now just get zapped from 1890 to today, or you were to take your
Tesla back to 1890 and drive it around, they would be like, that's a fucking spaceship.
That's an alien spacecraft.
So you think Elon Musk is a time traveler that's an alien spacecraft so you think elon
musk is a time traveler not an alien i just think it's possible i'm a fan of both i do think both
exist see i think elon musk is an alien strictly because he comes from a planet that everything is
underground that's why he's so good at building tunnels whenever he does the spacex thing they're
like no that's just spacex no he's going back to his town coming back with new ideas
he's giving away his ideas by the way to people like oh yeah don't worry about it guys i'm just
gonna go back and come back with more like i think elon musk is for sure an alien but the time travel
thing could potentially pique my interest because you could go to the future find out great ideas
and come back yes like i've always sworn that like sometimes we're too slow to develop something
we get off pace so someone from the future comes in and plants the idea to someone who's really
smart steve jobs then what we need and then there we go steve jobs yeah elon musk einstein all this
stuff hey back to the future first person to invent a battery? I mean, no one just woke up one day and was like,
oh, I can make this little power.
That came from a key on a fucking kite?
Electricity.
Oh, electricity, yeah.
Oh, Benny.
Yeah.
The Egyptians actually had an ancient form of a battery.
You're right.
Like, what did that come from?
Because some of the future probably said,
oh, yeah, the pyramids.
Bro, a computer used to take up an entire room.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
It used to be a fucking estate.
Like, hey, you got a computer?
Well, let me buy a building.
Now it's fucking in our hands.
I don't think people...
I honestly don't understand how technology can get advanced that quickly
without the help of either Alien or Time Traveler.
Yeah, one or the other.
I will let it be known.
I am an open-minded person.
Yeah.
I love debating because it proves how smart I am
or I learned something.
With this particular case, I always just assumed
Elon Musk was an alien.
Now I very much just think he's a time traveler.
I don't know what to do.
I'm probably going to stay up tonight all night thinking about it.
I'm probably going to be thinking about it all night.
There's a lot to think about because he could fit
either bill.
Good.
Right?
Yeah.
I don't know.
How about his fucking spaceship just takes off, goes out, comes back, lands like on a dime?
Yeah.
For years and decades and decades, even the Russians and the Americans, whenever it came back from space, that motherfucker was cannonballing into somewhere in the ocean.
It's like crash of the ocean.
It's like aim for blue.
That's all they were doing.
And it would fucking crash in.
They would have to come climbing out,
partially dead.
It would open up.
And Elon Musk is like,
and then it opens the door for them.
Has like a cup of coffee on the inside.
Like, oh, that was kind of fun, guys.
You want to go to space again tomorrow?
Like that.
How does that just happen overnight?
I'm with you.
I don't know how that happens overnight.
Decades and decades and decades of the smartest humans on earth were tasked literally with rocket science.
And they couldn't get the thing back into the atmosphere without it being a complete crapshoot on whether or not the thing was going to blow up. Elon Musk creates the fastest, most efficient vehicle in the history of vehicles
being created, starts digging tunnels under the world's most busiest cities, and then creates a
rocket that just can take off, do a couple loop-de-loops, travel to wherever, and land
back in the same spot with no problem at all, and there's no questions asked?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Is he smarter than everybody that's ever existed in the history of humans?
No way, right?
No way!
It's extraterrestrial.
I give it 70% he's extraterrestrial,
30% chance he is from our future.
By the way, I don't think those numbers are off.
100% chance he's not one of us. Yeah are off 100 chance he's not one of us yeah 100
chance he's not one of us i would like to be proved wrong i know i would like to be proved
wrong that's all i would like i would like to be proved wrong ever seen a baby photo of him
me either everybody's family never point doesn't have one that's what i'm saying
i i think he needs to come on your show is what i think i think i think he
needs to come on a lot of things we need to produce more anymore we need more him we need
more elon musk oh he's he's been a billionaire and then gone broke so many times it's like
shut the fuck up he is good for humans let's let's make elon musk is good for humans yeah he is a
good species for us to have
I honestly I don't understand
I think he is
he's one of the others
in like 10 years from now
when I can get from my doorstep to LA
in an hour and 45 minutes
we're going to realize how important he was
because he created an underground tunnel for myself
it's like a pod
like I go underground and just press in
where I want to go I'm going to go to the
mall and get some jeans in Los Angeles.
Let me get on my Elon Musk
pod. That's what's happening
in Chicago. Chicago's
had an issue getting to the airport
for decades and decades and decades.
Then Elon Musk goes and meets with
Rahm Emanuel or whatever the mayor's name.
He's like like here's what
i'm gonna do you guys want to build all these trains above the ground i'm going to ground i'm
go from chicago to the airport five minute ride doesn't cost the city anything i'm just going to
collect all the ticket money and ron man is like deal do whatever you got to do man just go dig
that shit up and then it's like fucking 25 bucks a head he's getting for the rest of eternity to go to the airport.
And like one 50th of the time it would normally take.
Doing the same thing in Las Vegas to Los Angeles.
He's just going to have this whole underground lair that Elon Musk is going to create.
And then he owns space.
So the question is no longer do we know more about space or the ocean?
The question is where does Elon Musk have more space?
Underground or space? That dude does whatever he wants, man. we know more about space or the ocean the question is where does elon musk have more space underground
that dude does whatever he wants man he does it's a beautiful thing i love elon musk i do i think
he's an alien though or a time traveler is it time traveling alien yeah or yeah could be i think he's
an alien who sees things in fourth dimensions, the fourth dimension being time, so he can manipulate space-time.
So, yes, he is an alien who can time travel.
I don't understand the full time is a flat circle thing
where if you blip the –
like that's how people say that people time travel, right?
Just watch Interstellar and you'll get it.
Even then, it takes a few times.
It's folding space, right?
That's what they say.
Wormholes.
So if it's this, you've got to travel linearly,
but you could fold it.
I don't know.
I don't understand.
I can't grasp it.
How does Matt Groening get invited into that group?
Does he just stumble upon it?
That's a good question.
We'll never know.
Does he just accidentally like,
oh, I'm going to get high in the woods?
And then all of a sudden,
there's just like a little circle of people out there
hovering around something. He's like, what do you guys got going on oh fuck see i think he was an outcast
i think he was in with all of them and then he just was drawing all the cartoons making fun of
everybody like you know what we've had enough of you buddy it's time for you to go so he just went
back in time we don't have comedy in the future go back in time went back in time started doing
his own thing just having a good old time.
If I was to go to the future, this is what I would see.
The Detroit Lions winning the Super Bowl.
Here we go.
Shout out Matt Patricia.
Shout out to Elon Musk for everything you've done for us.
I would like to interview Elon Musk, though.
That would be awesome.
Let's go back to the booking problem we have.
Go ahead and tweet that guy.
I got it.
Tweet anybody you would like on our show, by the way.
Tweet anybody you would like on our show.
Just tell them, hey, we'd like to have you on the show and see what they say it'd be a power of the people situation little pop
that'd be great pop see what's that stand for pop pop what's that stand for couldn't tell you
oh just think about it literally just said it people would like pat who's your booker america
the people of america power of people. Power of people.
You hear, but you don't listen.
I feel like since you have a Tesla,
you should be able to be in contact with Elon Musk.
That's a good point.
That's what I'm saying.
I literally get emails from Tesla saying,
congratulations, your Tesla now does this.
Congratulations, your Tesla now does this.
I've never gotten a congratulations,
you are now part of the time travel clip.
You know what I mean mean I'm looking for
that would be hilarious if it was like OnStar you know you needed
help you just press it and it just goes right to Elon
what's up
how can I help you?
it's like all those car commercials around here like call me direct
it's like Elon had that
alien?
time traveler
maybe both
I'm 70-30 on it but now that you brought up
what if oh another layer is what if he's an alien from their future that's too much yeah that's too
much has he brought any of his friends from the other place to come in he's not gonna travel alone
like he's gonna go back by the way and be like you guys should see this fucking place they don't know
shit bro yeah i just got that electric car we had like 20 years ago i bought that shit down there man and they
love it and one guy's like oh i got this thing for water oh they would love that oh you're a
tall guy there's an entire continent that can't get water i mean you'll be a king down there
oh come on hop on in yeah it's called spacex they have no idea we'll just land that fucking
thing right back in southern california wait till you see the in. Yeah, it's called SpaceX. They have no idea. We'll just land that fucking thing right back in Southern California.
Wait till you see the sun, by the way. It's beautiful down there.
The sand, too. It's great.
It's real.
I'm all in on it.
I am, too.
There isn't even a doubt in my mind
that Elon... I don't think
Elon Musk is a normal human being
at all. There's zero chance of that.
He's got something big coming, too.
I mean, he's got the tunnels.
He's got the SpaceX.
He's got the Tesla.
We know he's...
There's something...
Flamethrower.
Flamethrower.
We're talking right now, but we have no idea what he's planning.
What he's got six months, eight months, ten months.
When he finally leaves his...
It's going to be big.
On TV, he leaves his human form as just a floating, glowing orb and says,
Look, I told you.
Yeah, now that they're reporting all these things,
the military's reporting all these things,
I wonder if Elon's reaching out to them like,
can we not maybe?
Give you a Tesla if you shut up.
Like the ladies and I like to travel around,
kind of do our own thing.
They said they just, the Brits Air Force
said that they just fly right next to them and just
look at them and then they just fucking take off see you later like their their jets are going
what did jets go a few hundred miles an hour probably 400 500 miles an hour those jets that
are really going because that's what a plane goes like a commercial plane goes four or five hundred
miles an hour does it yeah quicker so for the fighter jets are going mock speeds which are
like a couple thousand there it is those fighter jets are going Mach speeds, which are like a couple thousand. There it is.
Those fighter jets are going like a couple thousand miles an hour.
These fucking unidentified flying objects just pull up next to them and then just roll right by them.
They're looking for Elon.
Like, what the fuck?
Where is this guy?
Is this SpaceX?
Where are we?
This is England.
Oh.
Wasn't it like last year?
There was a British flag on that fucking thing.
Get the fuck.
We got to get back to America.
Last year, he said there was like a 70% chance he'd move to Mars in his lifetime.
That's obviously Elon.
Right.
We know that, bro.
Isn't there?
Prince has an entire song about, I think it's called Seven.
This might be me digging deep into my conspiracy theory brain here
there's a song called like seven or something by prince that talks about turning uh the roads of
gold basically mars like all the elites creating their own world and mars basically and like
escaping and going to it it's like uh some big illuminati thing i guess that's definitely going
to happen i believe i'm fine with that All the rich folks are going to Mars.
Probably not before I die, but in Evan's lifetime,
I think you'll see rich people living in space.
What's that one movie called where all the elites live
at the top of the mountain?
I don't know.
I watched Elysium this weekend,
and it's the same type of concept, Matt Damon.
That might be it.
They live in space in the big space station
Yeah, all the rich people do right? Yeah. Yeah
Cure everything in their bodies in like 10 seconds. Yeah, that's good
I guess that theory is kind of been talked about for a long time
Huh, like all the rich people are gonna disappear live in their own place that place would suck wouldn't it? Yeah
What I mean think about the food would be so bad. Oh
So much caviar it would be like heaven
so much caviar
you would love it
because they're rich
what does Biggie say?
I don't want to go to heaven
with all the goody goodies
just want to get my dick licked
have you thought about we had the FCA guy for the colts his name's eric great dude man
great loves the lord you know absolutely loves the lord it's literally his job
to love the lord he's a preacher man and he comes and speaks to the colts and there's a lot of
a lot of people in professional football that they feel as if they're so blessed and lucky to
be in the nfl so it makes them like more religious than the normal people because they feel like
they've been blessed so so much which i respect and appreciate but the fca um congregate is a
very strong one in uh professional athletes like fca guys have uh and girls have a lot of pool
in the world with professional athletes.
And I talk about this often.
The Saturday night before games, it would be me and the FCA guy at dinner table after a team meeting, after their FCA meeting, after whatever. And it would just be literally a hot seat for him with 50 questions that I have.
Like, let's talk about Noah being the first documented blackout. I want to hear about it. Why don't you guys talk about Noah enough? Blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah. And one day it turned to heaven. Like I was asking him what heaven's
going to be like. And he's like, it's a world without sin. It's so perfect. And I was like,
okay, quick question. You probably never been asked this. I'd like to know. Are there blowjobs
in heaven? Question. Are there blowjobs in heaven?
And he said, the world of heaven without sin is so perfect,
you'd never want a blowjob.
And I looked him right in his eyes and say,
I'm not certain I want to go to heaven.
I am not certain I would like to go to heaven.
And he kept talking about the way heaven is
and how it's this place without sin, and it's just so perfectly feeling. And basically he wanted to say to me that it feels
like you're getting a blow job all the time with how perfect the world is, but he was so pure,
he couldn't say it. And I was just trying to get it out of him.
Oh, it's like ecstasy.
But yeah, but when you start like really asking questions, like everybody on earth is going to
wars. Some people are going to wars to try to get to this place for their eternal life i wonder what it's really like i very much wonder what
it's very like all the music that i listen to can't be played in heaven right it can't
can't be played well there's like lounges you can go in that you know
i do have a lot of questions though people are literally sacrificing their lives to get to this
place and nobody has a clue what it's like.
Nobody.
No.
It's just perfect, they say.
There's those people that die, like partially die.
They say they meet Jesus, and they see heaven,
and they come back to life.
Those people are interesting to me.
I would like to pepper those people with questions, too.
What was it like?
I want to know what it was like.
Have you been a good person?
You know what I mean? like yeah just because you died like has there anybody that's died saw hell and then came back to life you don't hear about that you don't hear about those people
they're like oh my god i gotta i gotta start donating to fucking charity man i gotta hopefully
turn this thing around but you never hear those stories where you know what i mean yeah yet what elon musk matt groenig
could yeah they could be the ones let us know so hey true so we've been to heaven if you're
a time traveler would you ever die no unless you got killed somehow no you just go back yeah but
just like all these avengers movies people die and then they just start the movie before
and then they're back to life a lot of people that like die for a
short period of time and they're brought back describe it just as this like blinding white
light euphoric right what if it's always like that in heaven oh god damn it dude squinting the whole
time are the guys from this light are the guys from movement sunglasses getting here
somebody go kill a fucking sunglass guy Are the guys from Movement Sunglasses getting here?
Somebody go kill a fucking sunglass guy.
He's just bumping
in his shit all the time.
This place is great, but I can't see shit.
Is that Michael Jackson?
How'd you get?
Zito, you saved
the guy's life. Oh, yeah.
Was he dead?
No, he was having a minor heart attack.
Did you give him the...
He had CPR compressions,
and then I found out if I would have hit it any harder,
his pacemaker would have blown up,
and he would have died.
Oh, yeah, the pacemaker.
Yeah, but you're not supposed to know that.
I mean, that's not...
He had a bracelet that says,
don't do it.
Yep.
Yep. I got questions.
Where was this?
I was at a recreational center.
I was working at a little rec center.
The funniest part of the whole thing
is that he used to work at a gym.
If you work there, you're halfway home, right?
I mean, that's part of it.
You're watching people work out,
osmosis, you're working.
Exactly.
So you worked at a rec center,
and a guy who had a pacemaker was coming in there to work out?
Yeah, so it's like during like 12 to 2 is usually the old people that come in.
PM.
Yeah.
No, 11 a.m., 2 p.m.
Okay, you said 12 to 2.
Yeah, you did.
That's on me.
Yeah, but it really didn't mean to stop the story.
It was just a little bit of a detail that you didn't add in,
and it wasn't 12 a.m. to 2 a.m. It was not not that big of a deal you could have just kept on rolling right tell me so right
in front of the treadmills he's six foot eight i'm gonna say he's a really really tall guy i was
folding towels i looked away looked back over he's gone man down man down i ran over there he's just
holding his chest i'm like oh god i probably should start doing these chest compressions okay
so i did like light, not too heavy.
And when the guy came, the paramedic,
he was like, luckily you didn't go too hard because
you would have killed him. Well, why is the paramedic
trying to bury you at the time?
I feel like they always do that.
Paramedic, we get it. This is what you do
on a daily basis. Let Zito get
some shine here. Well, you don't want to see the spotlight from those
guys usually sometimes. No, you should
have. That was your time.
You saved the guy's life.
If he wouldn't have done anything, he would have died.
Yeah, paramedic shows up, dead guy.
Hey, paramedic, roll him out of here so our
gym doesn't have a dead guy. Instead,
it has a Zito life-saved
guy in front of the treadmill. Actually, was
that confirmed? Did the paramedic say, like,
obviously, you can't press too hard, but did he
say what you did helped? No, he didn't say't say anything he just said i could have killed the guy just
made me feel worse so maybe you didn't say what a pessimistic prick that guy is no you saved that
guy's life for sure i took the um i took a cpr class course in the airport the other day oh
there's a cpr thing with all the machines yeah it's a dummy. It's a mannequin. And you're supposed to do the compressions to
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive.
So you stop there.
You hold that one.
Yeah, you hold that.
Zito is tone deaf, so there's no way he's singing.
Every movie I watched, I basically threw in that like 20 seconds.
Hey, you saved a guy's life, though.
I don't want that paramedic to kind of.
Yeah, but that movie came out in 78.
How does everybody know Stan alive, though?
That's literally what they taught me in the CPR thing,
in the machine at the airport.
It played the music.
Huge office episode, too.
Yeah, popularized by the office.
You're supposed to get it.
You're supposed to get indented an inch, I believe.
You're supposed to indent that thing an inch.
Too far, it shows up red on the screen too light it shows up green or yellow on the screen
green is just right i got a perfect hundred yes so if anybody in here has a little bit of a heart
problem even though zito's already saved a life know that i also have a hundred as well i saved
the shit out of that mannequin good to know know. I'll speak for Nick and I.
Just let us go.
DNR?
I was waiting for him to say it.
I watched Wolf of Wall Street on Saturday night in the hotel that we were in.
Man, when a hotel has bad pillows, bro.
Were they goose down?
Which is rare. Were they firm?
Were they soft?
They would just get flat.
Yeah, that's a goose down.
You got to get 80% goose, 20% down.
That's it.
You got to do that.
But 100% goose, I wake up with a crick in the neck.
Well, you know what?
I'll put the order in for the fucking double tree in Hartford.
But I had five pillows stacked up on top of each other,
and it just became like it was bad.
It was bad.
So I was wide awake, and I was flipping through,
and fucking Wolf of Wall Street was on.
And I'm like, well, I'm definitely going to watch this.
And I got stuck.
I was hooked.
I watched like the last hour and a half of that thing.
Remember when he gave fucking CPR to- Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
That movie, legendary, dude.
That's a great movie.
I forgot about the finer details of that thing.
I haven't seen it in a long time either.
Hops in a boat, tries to get to Switzerland.
Oh, God.
Flips that bitch over.
When he's trying to get him off the phone in the kitchen,
and they're both on loads,
or crawling over on top of the kitchen counter.
Oh, yeah.
It's one of those where it's been popular on the internet lately
where they show the scene,
but they also show the script playing underneath it.
It's incredible what they did out of that.
Dude, such a good movie.
Sell me this pen.
I didn't remember that that's how it ended.
It was a sales conference,
The Greatest Salesman on Earth,
by the actual Jordan Belfort
introducing him and then him walking up
to four people, sell me that pen.
It's a nice pen.
Yeah.
I forgot the ending of the movie.
I probably never,
by the way,
probably never seen the ending of that movie
until this weekend.
It's a good chance.
It's a long one.
It's probably the first time
I've ever seen a full movie.
I always thought,
yeah, I get it.
I'm not leaving.
I'm not fucking leaving.
I'm not fucking leaving.
What a terrible decision, by the way.
I wonder if when he was in jail,
I wonder if when he was in jail, he got three years in jail or whatever.
I wonder if like a year and a half to his prison sentence,
he went back and thought,
bad decision that one day in a particular office when I had an entire deal set up for me,
and I just said, fuck it.
Probably should have left.
Probably should have just left that day.
Could have started 45 other businesses.
Too much pride.
Peer pressure.
He had a pretty cozy prison stint, too, I think.
He's playing tennis in there.
Yeah.
But one of the worst scenes in Scorsese's entire movie career, by the way,
is that tennis scene.
Leonardo DiCaprio hits a ball right into the net.
They don't have another ball.
Look back at the scene.
They don't have another ball, so the guy behind Leo has to run up,
grab another ball.
He hits it out of bounds.
It's just a terrible, it is a bad sequence of tennis right there and it was literally i was watching i was
like scorsese is letting this terrible tennis play fly it's probably a script supervisor or
something that's not marty marty's not letting that squeak through leo hits it directly into
the net in front of him though like he like picks the ball up. By the way, he's nowhere near where the service line is.
He's standing by the box.
He picks the ball up, hits it right into the net,
and then the person behind him has to jog up, grab the ball,
hits it out of bounds.
It was just like, that is not tennis.
Was it supposed to be?
Were they supposed to be shitty at tennis?
I don't know why.
I don't know what that adds.
I don't remember the scene. I don't know why i don't know what that adds i don't remember the scene i don't remember that guy so you're saying you can just tell by the angle of the ball that's going straight into the
net no you see it hit the net like because it's a drone shot it's a drone shot coming out and it's
supposed to be like just like leaving him while he's in jail it's supposed to be like a send away
like i think it was supposed to show that his jail wasn't that difficult. He was playing tennis and shit.
But I mean, it was like one of those
things where it was like, he's serving
from midway from the first box
that you're supposed to serve it into.
Hits it right into the net. There's no other
balls, so the guy behind him has to run up and grab it.
It's just a very... Eh, no rules in prison.
Prison rules in tennis.
Good movie. How about this
I'm waiting for it
Ready
You can all pile on
Never saw it
Wolf of Wall Street
Really
Why not
Check it out
As an actor
I would have thought
There's a few of those
That I've slipped through
Just haven't gotten around to
But I was hopefully going like
You guys are great
By the way
And good friends
Because I've said that before
And the usual response Is if you haven't seen a movie, are you fucking kidding me?
Well, that's what you want to do.
Yeah, but you got to remember, there's two other guys in this room that have not seen
a lot of movies.
Foxy has seen next to none, and I've seen more than Foxy, but less than a lot of movies.
I just watched Wedding Crashers for the first time about a week ago.
Is that not the most embarrassing thing you've ever heard in your life?
See, that's the reaction that Foxy gets.
But not you, man.
Wolf of Wall Street.
I wouldn't expect you to see Wolf of Wall Street.
No, I do.
I love Scorsese.
I'll see it eventually.
It's just one I haven't caught up to yet.
You're a fucking accomplished actor.
Thank you, Todd.
Star of Dark Waters.
I know, but see, you've got to understand, in my mind, I'm still an actor, and I never
like to take away from other actors.
I like to be my own.
That's why I stay away from the great movies.
Yeah, exactly.
Me too.
I'm still waiting for...
Maybe that was your problem.
I just got one more great casting in me.
I don't know when it is, though.
Speaking of...
Coming up.
I think we finished a script.
Coming up.
I think we finished a script.
Did we?
Yeah, it's done.
No way.
Yeah.
Did you really?
Yeah, it's done.
You told me it's done no way yeah did you really yeah it's done i told you i told ty on friday because we've been delaying we have a movie idea that is going to crush
we have actors that are notable ready to do said movie oh thanks pat
oh i'm sorry go on all we needed was said script to be finished so on Friday I said to Ty I said
enough of it Ty I'd like to have that thing done by Monday so we can get everybody locked in so we
can shoot in July and have this movie hopefully edited by the January 1 so that next year going
into the election year which could be what our movie is about. Who knows? We can ride some real momentum into it and potentially win a bunch of awards, which I
think we will, by the way.
I think our movie will win awards.
When does it have to be finished by to get into any of the festivals?
If it's released in January, we could send, I mean, that'd be the hard cut.
We could send copies out in November to get into Telluride and Sundance, that kind of stuff.
How about Cannes?
Chances are we are not going to get into Cannes.
Why is that?
Well, it's technically a short.
They don't often let just first-time filmmakers into this.
It's the most respected film in the world.
Has it ever happened before?
I don't think so.
Oh,
I was about to say,
if it has ever happened before,
that means there is a chance.
If it has never happened before,
looks like we're pretty much fucked.
Actually,
if we say you're from like Ireland or like France or something like that,
we,
that probably boosts the chances by about 20,
25%.
Zito's from Cuba.
Bingo.
Just give me a couple of producer credits. Yeah. Financier's from Cuba. Bingo. Just give me a couple producer credits on it.
Yeah, financiers from Cuba.
There we go.
Son of a bitch.
You could win a best foreign film for this thing.
Damn.
Keep it up.
I'm excited about that.
All right, boys.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
It's been a great show.
Matt Patricia was electric, man.
That was so long ago. That was so long ago.
That was so long ago in this show.
What a get, though. Very nice of him
doing the layover. Just let's kind of roll up in there.
He was awesome.
Gonna win a Super Bowl, Tom Trevor told me.
That's right.
Just like we're gonna win an award. I'm gonna shout out Elon
Mussie if he knows if we win any awards.
Other than that, have an
incredible Tuesday. Heartland Radio 2.0 is out tomorrow.
Follow everybody.
At Todd McComas.
At Diggs with a Z.
Notable sorority tweeter.
At Nick Morado.
At Hey Gorman.
At Viva Lozito.
At Evan Foxy.
And at Ty Schmidt.
Make sure you spell Ty's name wrong.
Right?
Yeah, don't spell it wrong.
Please.
T-Y-S-C-H-M-I-i-t bingo it's like shit exactly but with a c and an m
yep ty schmidt a lot of listeners have said they've been waiting anxiously for the schmidt list
so have i that going to be good.
The only issue with the said Schmidt list is Ty has recorded a couple,
and he refused to let them go public because we're running a business of profit here.
Is that accurate?
Yeah, pretty much.
I mean, you know, having you guys to, like, bounce it off is okay.
When you go out and do it on your own, then you got a big target on your back.
Do you want me to just sit here so you can just watch my eyes?
And if they get real big, you're like, oh, look at that.
But we're not a good target audience either because we'll let anything go through.
Yeah, I'll just laugh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fuck that guy.
You do have an unusually awesome skill of burying people.
Your aptitude for burying
people.
It's really impressive, honestly.
A lot of practice.
Unless it's about a movie.
What is something you hate right now?
Let's see.
I mean, to be...
Bicyclists?
See, this is what happens with the Schmidt list.
This is what happens with the Schmidt list right here.
I can't say that.
But just off the top of my head, the fucking spelling bee.
Yeah.
Why is that?
I mean, it's bullshit.
Eight winners.
Like, get the fuck out of here.
When you have two running backs, you have no running backs.
Bingo.
When you have eight winners of a spelling bee, guess what?
You have no winners of the spelling bee.
I mean, it's...
Again, I can't say that.
How's the trophy split it?
Split it? How's it split it?
So they split it
right into eights,
which is the same exact
shape. Confirm cut?
What's that? They confirm cut it in eights?
Well, they cut it into a hexagon,
which is an eight-sided object.
That's not right.
Are you sure?
Octagon.
Dang!
That sounds like eight.
Octagon?
No, never mind.
Ocho, that's why.
Or octopus.
No, that can't be it no i didn't enjoy the fact that they let all eight of those little fuckers be champions
i agree what's wrong with the world all right let's get out of here i'm happy they won man
good for them congrats to them congrats to you for listening to the show have a great day
congrats to the detroit lions winning super bowl that's right sometime by the way now that i said it if it ever happens i would
like to get the same credit the simpsons get prediction for predicting things also hugely
huge congratulations need to be in store for lebron j James for creating that motion picture that won all of the Academy Awards. Same with
Kobe Bryant. I'd like
to give a big, big, big shout
out to Jeffrey Gorman on a resurgence
of his acting career. And the lottery
win, too.
It's like it crazy. Oh, man.
Thought I had a Powerball in my future.
Take it easy.
Ty Schmidt, hit the music. We touch, I feel a rush We clutch, it isn't much But it's enough to make me wonder what's in store for us
It's lust, it's torturous You must be a sorceress
Cause you just did the impossible Gained my trust
Don't play games, it'll be dangerous If you fuck me over
Cause if I get burnt, I'ma show you what it's like to hurt
Cause I've been treated like dirt before ya And love is evil
Spell it backwards, I'll show ya
Nobody knows me, I'm cold
Walked down this road all alone
It's no one's fault but my own
It's the path I've chosen to go
Frozen to snow, I show no emotion whatsoever so
Don't ask me why I have no love
For these motherfucking hoes
Bloodsucking succubuses, what the fuck is up with this?
I've tried in this department but
I ain't had no luck with this, it sucks
But it's exactly what I thought it would be
Like trying to start over, I got a hole in my heart
But some kind of emotion, a rollercoaster, something I won't go on
So you toy with my emotions till it's over, it's like an explosion
Every time I hold you, I wasn't joking when I told you
You take my breath away, you're a supernova
And I'm on
I'm a space-bound rocket ship and our hearts couldn't move
And I'm aiming right at you, right at you
250,000 miles, I'm a cannon, I'm in the tube
And I'm aiming right at you, right at you, right at you
I'll do whatever it takes, when I'm with you I get the shakes
My body aches when I ain't with you, I have zero strength
There's no limit on how far I would go No boundaries, no lengths
Why do we say that until we get that person that we think
Gonna be that one and then once we get him it's never the same
You want him when they don't want you
Soon as they do feelings change
It's not a contest and I ain't got no conquest for no mate
I wasn't looking when I stumbled onto you
Must have been fate for so much of the sake
What the fuck does it take?
Let's cut to the chase for the door shuts in your face
Promise me if I cave in and break
And leave myself open, that I won't be making a mistake
Cause I'm a space bear, I can ship a yellow heart step forward
And I'm aiming right at you
Right at you
I'm at you, right at you 250,000 miles on a key and I ain't you
And I ain't, ain't, ain't at you
Right at you, right at you
So after a year and six months
No longer me that you want
But I love you so much it hurts
Never mistreated you once
I poured my heart out to you
Let down my guards for the God
I blow my brains in your lap
Lay here and die in your arms
Drop to my knees and I'm bleeding
I'm trying to stop you from leaving
You won't even listen so fuck it
I'm trying to stop you from breathing I put both't even listen so fuck it I'm trying to stop you from breathing, I put both hands on your throat
I sit on top of you squeezing till I snap your neck like a popsicle stick
And the possible reason I could think of to let you walk about this house and let you live
Tears stream down both of my cheeks, now let you go and just give
Before I put that gun to my temple I told you this
And I wouldn't do anything for you
To show you how much I adored you
But it's over now, it's too late to save our love
Just promise me you'll think of me
Every time you look up in the sky and see a star
Cause I'm a space pirate with a ship and now my heart's the moon And I'm even running at you, running at you
250,000 miles on a clear night in June
And I'm so lost without you, without you, without you
