Pepsi Zero
Sugar
NFL Rookie of the Year. Wow.
Because Pepsi
did used to award that.
Then they got healthier.
That's right. And if sugar's around, by
the way, they ain't getting to name
who the MVP is.
You keep that son of a bitch sugar out of this
mvp announcer i'm sorry rookie of the year announcement
by all means i found that pretty funny that they will sponsor anything at this point
even we'll dive into not just sponsor we will get into next level sponsor oh yeah shout out to Mountain Dew Blast Cherry Coda
for the blah blah blah shout out to Pepsi Coke Zero for the NFL Rookie of the Year Justin Herbert
has won shout out to Pepsi by the way being a massive supporter of a lot of awesome things in
the NFL for a long time the Pepsi Zero Sugar NFL Rookie of the Year is just I mean that is a funny
thing to say just naturally naturally, it sounds ridiculous.
But shout out to Pepsi and for their zero sugar drinks,
which I assume are fantastic.
I don't drink them because I'm healthy.
I don't drink pop.
Coke zero?
I don't drink soda.
I don't do any of it.
I don't drink anything that has any carbonation anymore.
Maybe a beer or two if it's a celebration.
But mostly, I'm just a water guy.
What?
Maybe a Gatorade guy.
What?
Which one?
Gatorade Zero, you might ask.
What?
Oh, the Glacier Freeze one,
the blue one.
It tastes absolutely delicious
and has next to no calories at all
or carbs.
What?
I might have a flavored water
every once in a while
with a Mio that you spray in there
to get electrolytes
if you're on a keto diet
and you're not getting it
into your body
because you're not eating
any carbs at all.
So I'll drink a Mio with a water with a water as well every once in a while
dive into a green tea every single morning from a very yuppie coffee shop but they make absolutely
delicious green teas but other than that i ain't really drinking shit but after today i tell you
what i might go and try a pepsi zero sugar because the nfl rookie of the year will be joining us
in about 20 minutes
or so. Can't wait to talk to Justin Herbert.
Lots to talk about. Lots
to talk about, by the way. I'm sorry, he's at 102.
He's not at 1225. He's in his second hour. He's
one hour from now. Lots to talk about with him. Last
time we talked to him, he was going
into the NFL. All right? Still had long
hair. At that point, he had not had
a Nike deal yet, but he said he's not signing with
anybody other than Nike. I was like, hey, bad hey bad leverager bad leverager i think they'll love your loyalty
because you're from oregon you want to oregon you're gonna get paid by nike but at some point
okay this is a men's league now herbert you need to let them know that you will sign to adidas you
are not scared and by the way if adidas signed justin herbert went into oregon and got oregon's
guy who then went on to be the pe Zero Sugar NFL Rookie of the Year.
Think about that marketing campaign that could have happened.
Herbert said, no, I'm being like, okay, I've been wearing this shit
literally since I popped out of my mother.
That's what I'm going to do.
He cut his hair.
He became the starter for the Chargers in a situation
that obviously was not ideal for a guy named Tyrod Taylor.
Tyrod Taylor goes in to get lidocaine.
Is that what it was?
Yeah.
Lidocaine, I think.
Lidocaine.
Lidocaine.
There's Novocaine.
That's for the moth.
Okay.
Okay.
Then there's other canes, I believe.
Cocaine.
Uh-huh.
There's a lot of other canes.
Sugar.
That eliminate feeling.
You know, they just kind of numb an area.
All the canes that we refer to, aside from the sugar one,
that zero sugar, by the way,
we drink NFL Rookie of the Year.
All those canes make things not be able to be felt.
Gets the lidocaine shot, you know, into ribs
so that he can go play a game, Tyrod Taylor.
And the needle actually went through the ribs
and just stabbed him right in the lung
punctured it yeah 15 minutes before the game justin herbert becomes a starter and it is
all she wrote from there yeah unfortunate for tyra taylor did not deserve that that is not the way
you should be given one of those shots which i do believe happen on a much more regular basis
than anybody could fathom but the fact you just drive a golf tee into a guy's lungs
and then a rookie sensation comes in.
This is like a Wally Pipp moment, but Wally Pipp was hungover.
Tyron Taylor was prepared and ready to play a game 15 minutes
before he was about to start playing well out there, by the way,
with the entire team believing in him.
And instead he's benched, can't play.
Yeah, why? Might die.
Okay, new kid, you're in.
And he just absolutely balled. Nobody could have
expected Justin Herbert to be as good as he was in the
NFL. Coming out of college, people ask,
is he too quiet? Is he too
shy? He's from a small town. Is he
going to be able to handle the big stage?
And I'll tell you what, you watch him in college, he looked like
a very mellow dude, okay?
Kind of always seemed to have the face like,
you know, it appeared
as if he potentially had a little Jared Goff in him, which like, does he know he's in this massive moment?
Like, hey, there has to be now Aaron Rodgers, super relaxed and calm, but you can see like frustration.
You can see like when you look in his eyes, I'm a big look in their eyes guy.
You know what I mean?
I want to look in the eyes and see like what's going on there.
Are we very scared right now?
Are we nervous?
Do we have any idea that we're in a big moment right now?
Are we ready to dominate?
And whenever you saw Justin Herbert in college, I think the shots that I looked,
they were on national TV every single week, I don't think,
until the end of the season or whatever.
Whenever they were zoomed in on his face, I also wondered, like a lot of people,
like, hey, does this guy have, you know, like the, hey,
it's going to take a lot of work.
We talked to Aqib Tlaib yesterday.
He said the reason why there's only 15 guys and i i think that's very generous by the way yeah
there's only 10 guys basically that make it in this profession and are great and go it's because
the amount of time the amount of passion the amount of everything that you have to have towards
football it has to basically take over your life like for instance aaron rogers is going to go
disappear for a month or whatever just so he can get his body and his mind ready to play
football again everything is like hey to play football and not everybody has that you wonder
what those what he looked like every once in a while and then you heard the talk about maybe
he's not going to be a guy that'll be able to get out there and go and command a huddle and
everything like that all those things were completely fucking wrong.
He came in there, was running people over, celebrating.
They said he had great command of the huddle.
We watched in hard knocks, Pep Hamilton would talk shit to him.
He would answer.
I mean, it was like all those questions without the ignorance,
without the not knowing on whether or not these would be.
They've all been answered.
They got a guy.
He's the Pepsi no sugar rookie of the year.
A lot has happened since we talked to him, and I cannot wait to chat with him.
J.K. Dobbins will be joining us running back for the Baltimore Ravens.
Kind of kicked Mark Ingram out of time.
Yep.
Kind of did.
Big trust.
Woo, woo.
Fuck that.
Sorry, Mark.
Okay, we got a new guy.
Mark got hurt, I believe, this year as well yep but i assume mark wound up in a place but jk dobbins became quite a story with the
baltimore ravens this year because there was a couple games where he was pissed he was not playing
because they were rotating gussie was getting in there mark ingram was in there every once in a
while and he wasn't getting the ball enough and he came off the sideline a couple times prime time
game saying what the fuck like i want to be back in there they started putting back in there he did good yeah he done
very good he done very good jk dob is gonna be a player he's here for panini america i'm assuming
he has a rookie card and by the way sports card good investment yeah i don't have any good
investment all right everybody's in the game now oh Oh, yeah. Gary Vee's hustling these sports cards.
Boom.
Adam Lefkoe.
Hey, listen.
What did we learn this week, okay?
We all learned very loudly.
Stock market game potentially rigged.
Yeah.
Okay.
Potentially not set up for everybody's success.
Feels like it.
And I've never been somebody that said,
you know what?
That's what I want to do is invest in stuff.
Because you know what I want to invest in?
Me.
I want to invest in my life, my happiness.
That's what I want to invest in.
Now I've been told by everybody
and their incredibly smart families
and everything like that,
like that's not a good idea.
You need to start preparing for the future.
And I have,
but I haven't done any investing in other humans' ideas
for this stock market thing, especially after you watch Wolf of Wall Street preparing for the future and i have but i haven't done any investing in other humans ideas or i
for this stock market thing especially after you watch wolf of wall street and the whole
you know that you just do the whole thing what hasn't been my thing people have made money
investing okay those stories are very very loud we know that there's been a lot of money lost
in the stock market as well you you don't really hear about those as much unless it's the people
that run the stock market losing their
money. Then everything changes. So I think we've learned
this week the stock market might not
be the most fair place.
I think we learned that. Yeah, I think that's
accurate. The sports cards
market? Oh my
God! It is a boomer!
I know nothing about it.
I know nothing about it at all. But every once in a
while, one of these goddamn things that'll go up for sale makes it into my timeline.
I'll see it.
400-some thousand dollars for a goddamn little piece of what?
Card stock?
Yeah.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, yeah.
That's unbelievable.
Some of them have the jersey on it, too.
You might get them a Holmes piece of jersey.
Listen.
Or a 250.
Listen.
AMC GameStop.
Listen.
Hold the line.
Hold the line. Hold the line.
Hold the line.
Hold.
Hold.
Hold.
Hold.
Hold.
Hold.
Hold the line.
But I do believe the sports cards thing seems to be going.
J.K. Dobbins will be here for Panini.
I wonder if he is in the sports card investment game because you know these people that
potentially got laughed at in the past as being nerds sure are now potentially cashing in because
the market's going i will never get into the market ever that is not something i would do you
you could never trust me enough with a piece of card stock to keep that thing healthy enough for
long enough now they have entire like vaults they put them in and i respect that that's just not the
way i go.
I'll be excited to hear what J.K. Dobbins thinks about Panini America.
You talked about investing in your happiness.
I'm kind of disappointed that it was Panini trading cards.
I thought we were going to talk about Paninis.
Oh, is he here for sandwiches?
No, unfortunately not.
J.K. Dobbins is here for just sandwiches?
New favorite guest of all time at Tone Diggs.
We also have Warwick work done on today.
He's an incredibly good guy. Hopefully
you'll be able to learn something. You and Connor
and the whole table.
Why am I being thrown in?
I don't know. To be honest, it was just a transition I made.
And I assumed at some point
you did something. But we can all learn
a little from work done. Especially
this toxic table at Boston. Connor and Ty
Schmidt. Connor, you first, pal.
Bruins are good at hockey.
Of course.
Poster knocks, unbelievable.
New England Patriots are dead.
How you doing?
Best team in hockey, like you just said.
But, you know, I was looking over the sheet
right before the show.
Demarcus Robinson and, I believe, Danny Kilgore,
the center for the Chiefs,
both get haircuts on the same day, right?
Why is one guy coming back on Friday and one guy coming back on Saturday?
That makes no sense to me.
I thought protocols were even for everybody.
Well, Foxy just had quite a moment right behind you
while you were talking about that.
I do believe your confusion with the protocol thing,
not just the only confusion that's potentially happening right now
during this show, but you're 100% right.
Why is one half haircut
today yeah in another one tomorrow is it because they potentially longer haircut better fade
they were around each other longer is that what it is i wonder is that the protocol like hey
whenever there's a certain amount of time that there's a certain amount of hours that a lot for
hours on the other side like good days in in jail. Remember those count for two, allegedly.
If you get your hair cut for 45 minutes or you get your hair cut for 20 minutes,
does that extra 25 minutes account for an extra day potentially in the protocol?
Something we do have to look into.
And when did they add that into the protocol is what I would like to know.
I assume Robinson got his hair cut first. He finished his. And he probably what I would like to know. I assume Robinson got his haircut first. He finished
his. And he probably got it
finished at like 2.45.
Practice starts on tomorrow
and Saturday at 3 o'clock.
So his haircut was done before practice starts.
So he gets to come back the day before.
Kilgore was after practice starts.
So this guy was hanging around the facility for
three, four hours, potentially?
Sounds like it. That's a big problem.
Jeez.
There was, I guess, 20 other players potentially lined up to get their haircuts, including...
No.
Mr. No.
Could you imagine?
Don't say it.
No.
Are you kidding me?
Patrick Mahomes.
Why?
Can you imagine the Super Bowl cut?
Hold on.
I just want to let you know, though.
I saw him get his haircut before.
It's on a commercial.
Oh, yeah.
I can't believe he betrayed his barber.
Is that the barber?
Is it the same barber?
Oh, geez.
That's a great question I have.
Is this the barber that's from the State Farm commercial?
Because the barber-client relationship is one, I do believe, that is held in high regards.
Because if you have a haircut that is looked at as your own haircut
i would assume you're not just letting anybody cut that hair no i assume patrick mahomes isn't
letting this new haircut that he has introduced to the world basically this is the patrick mahomes
haircut as they say on the progressive allstate allstate commercials state farm state farm state All state. All state. Commercials. State Farm? State Farm. State Farm.
State Farm.
They're a great commercial.
Great.
We love Aaron in there paying more.
If we remember from the beginning of the season, though, Mahomes may be blessed by the gods
as well because he dapped up Stephon Gilmore right after the game.
Big dap.
Big, huge dap.
Gilmore gets COVID the next day.
Mahomes, hey, he's fine.
At Ty Schmidt, Brett Favre is stirring.
Today, there's a lot of conversation about stirring the pot.
Brett Favre stirred the pot a little bit.
Teddy Bruschi stirred the pot a little bit.
I'm making a $30,000 wager within the next couple hours.
Stir the pot a little bit.
Fauci.
Fauci stirring the pot.
Don't watch the Super Bowl.
I told you no Thanksgiving.
You sons of bitches did it. I told you no Thanksgiving. You sons of bitches did it.
I told you no Christmas.
You sons of bitches did it again.
Do I have to say it one more time?
No Super Bowl parties.
None at all back there.
Ain't that right, Fauci?
Gather.
Oh, God.
You can't even turn my mic on.
Gather at your own risk, Patrick.
I told you.
I've told you.
Double mask.
Gather at your own risk. I heard you actually came out and said triple mask well if they're going to be playing this
super match on sunday they should be wearing four hey a lot of people are saying because of your
embarrassing opening pitch you're potentially hateful towards sports at this moment because
the way sports fans reacted to that opening pitch which will go down as now listen very cool moment he's
back of course but that particular opening pitch they're saying worst opening pitch in the history
of opening pitches especially on that big of a night with you mr fauci is it i didn't say that
dr fauci i'm sorry i didn't say that but i'm just saying people have been saying that is that why
you're telling people don't even watch a super bowl, don't gather? Or is it because Alan Sills, the NFL doctor,
basically at the beginning of the season said,
hey, Fouch, fucking kick rocks now.
Literally, what is it all about?
Why is your hatred towards the Super Bowl?
Patrick, I'm actually glad you brought up this blasphemy of my name
that's happened since I threw out this pitch to open the MLB season.
You find another 80-year-old that's managing a global pandemic
in such a volatile environment like Washington,
D.C., and you throw a pitch right down.
You groove one in over the plate.
I don't hate sports, Pat.
I love sports.
I just want people to be careful.
Don't gather.
Wear 10 masks and stay at home.
Fauci had quite a run here, didn't he?
I mean, this guy will forever be remembered, Fauci.
He said to wear goggles in july
yeah it might help us i mean as we've all learned things right and i do not like jesus this
the internet the sports community by the way i will say they i think the sports community
had a lot of respect for fauci okay he was very thankful for fauci okay we appreciate all the
work you've done all All right. Listen.
A lot of people were saying you're the voice that we should be listening to.
And this is coming from a person, by the way.
I am not in that world.
I do not know that world at all.
I know.
I stick to my world.
But Fauci, I feel like he made his way into everybody's world.
How come I don't get credit for the NFL, Pat?
Once Fauci started dancing into the sports world, boy, I think a lot of people were NFL, Pat? Fouch, once Fouch started dancing into the sports world,
boy, I think a lot of people were like,
okay, Fouch, listen, we're not coming into your world, all right?
You stay the fuck in yours, all right?
We'll stay here, you do yours. Now, if you want to talk to Dr. Alan Sills and things like that,
but I think Fouch made a PR mistake with the sports fans of the world
whenever he started saying,
this shouldn't happen, this can't happen, this can't happen.
Now, granted, if you're a doctor and you have reasonable concerns,
that's what you're supposed to do,
you probably talk to the leagues, right?
But you just going out and saying, like, shouldn't do it,
it's like, okay, well, now you've got a lot of people that are like,
you got me locked in my goddamn house, okay?
First you told me not to wear a mask, now I'm supposed to wear six.
I'm not allowed to do anything.
And you're telling me that I'm not allowed to fucking watch sports.
All right, but you can see how people potentially do that.
And I'd assume Dr. Fauci's a reasonable person.
He understands it.
There's potentially some hatred from sports fans.
And whenever he said, don't watch a Super Bowl together or whatever,
all those people came back, by the way.
Oh, yeah.
But hey, Fauci's making a resurgence, I think.
I think Dr. Fauci's making a resurgence. Yeah, by the way. Oh, yeah. But, hey, Fouch is making a resurgence, I think. I think Dr. Fouch is making a resurgence.
Yeah, I do believe.
I do believe.
You don't think so?
I mean, God bless him if he does.
I mean, if Fouch can't take a little jostling from people saying, like,
hey, pal, that was a dog shit first pitch, you know what I mean?
Then maybe Fouch needs to take his time and invest it elsewhere.
Our thing crashed, I think, on YouTube.
I do believe.
There was like something on the screen there,
and it's potentially because of what we're saying there.
Fatch, so sorry, dude, all right?
Love you, Fatch.
Hey, we're observing and reporting here.
I'm just observing and reporting.
Told you, don't fuck with me.
Yeah.
That does feel like that's what happened right there.
I tried to tell who.
Joe Donnelly.
I'm just observing and reporting, pal.
Okay, I'm not doing anything else.
I'm just observing and reporting.
Joe Donnelly.
Sleepy Joe.
Sleepy Joe.
Mexico Joe Donnelly.
Mexico Joe.
That guy lost the fastest election of all time, I think, here in Indiana.
And we were trying to tell him because the hate commercials towards him
started making it into our world.
And that's when, if it makes it into my, which is just a super,
like I have, I understand that it exists,
but my internet experience is super positive.
I think it's much, after watching that social dilemma,
it was a, you know, a very weird, very, very weird.
But the Joe Donnelly coming into my world knew he was dead.
Screwed.
Tried to tell him.
Came on this show before we were on SiriusXM here.
I don't even know if we're going live on YouTube.
Yeah, we're live on YouTube.
Going live on YouTube.
Say, hey, Joe, listen.
You should get out in front of this just a little bit.
Because the only thing I'm hearing about is your entire six-month vacation in Mexico
you just went on and didn't do a damn thing.
And if I'm hearing about it, Joe, and I am maybe the biggest blinders guy out there,
have my blinders on, live in my own world, pretty happy here, by the way.
I understand shit happens outside.
But if it's making it into my hole that I'm in, Joe, a lot of people are hearing this.
He lost immediately.
I am just observing and reporting the Fouch thing because it has made its way into my hole that I'm in, Joe, a lot of people are hearing this. He lost immediately. I am just observing and reporting the Fouch thing
because it has made its way into my world.
Like, hey, smartest guy of all time.
Smartest guy of all time.
No sports.
Sports shouldn't be playing.
Bubbles won't work, I think.
Baseball shouldn't happen.
Excuse me?
NFL will never happen.
And then he throws that pitch
and everybody's like well fuck this guy that is how the sports world kind of did well but i do
believe vouchers always come from uh you know an educated standpoint i'm just observing and
reporting the reaction to vouchers reaction to a worldwide pandemic and when there are clips of
him saying you know masks won't help and then then six months later, he's saying, put goggles on.
Those will help.
And then six months later, he's saying, three masks will help.
It's like, look, Fauci, you've got to hold the line.
If we've learned anything, you've got to hold the line.
Pick something to fight and go with it.
All right, let's get to a phone call here before we get to a break.
See, I didn't know about any of that stuff.
That is the stuff that I don't even.
Jeff in Myrtle Beach is on the phone. And I haven't answered it jeff in myrtle beach is on the phone and
i haven't answered it yet love myrtle beach by the way shout out to the shunts yeah
hello carolina shunts the story here is and jeff i'm not sure if your call will be able to back
this up um mitt spelled myrtle beach let's guess okay on mitt's spelling of myrtle beach now unless
this is a different myrtle beach i would be intrigued to hear your thoughts turtle with a okay so it's m-e-r-t-a-l like mortal
combat oh okay myrtle m-e-r-t-a-l okay myrtle and then beach is spelled accurately which is really
yeah which is very good but that the fact that he has never seen myrtle as in myrtle beach especially
with this last fall with coastal carolina going on yeah and couldn't even because he is a very
intelligent kid oh yeah well as i'm talking to mitt i'm learning and learning very intelligent
guy he is he he's he smokes way too much cbd way too much yeah at a rate that he will not be able
to keep up with and if he does maybe that is his actual skill in this life.
But, Mitt, how is that Myrtle for Myrtle Beach right there?
Have you never, ever seen a thing ever?
Like, how does this even happen?
I'm really sorry.
These phones right now.
Oh, yeah.
They hacked into the phones, too.
I can't hear shit.
Fudge is out there.
Gets your mouth off the pipe.
Let's go to Jeff in Myrtle Beach.
What's going on, Jeff?
Hey, what's happening, Pat?
Well, I'll tell you what.
You got beach spilled, right?
Hey, listen.
Respect you living down in Myrtle Beach, by the way.
I'm not sure I could survive 24-7, 365 down there.
That place is a blast.
Hey, man.
It's golf courses, beer bellies, and good-looking women.
Hell yeah.
Hey, they're probably on a sign down there, to be honest with you.
That is Myrtle Beach.
Put it on the billboard, Pat.
I've never golfed down there, but I have heard it has great golfing setup.
I've been—
Hey, throw a dart, you'll find a good golf course.
I wanted to ask you real quick, because you were talking about Andrew Luck
coming out of retirement possibly, right?
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
Well, if Andrew Luck said, I'm coming out of retirement,, right? Yes, sir. Yeah. Well, if Andrew Luck said,
I'm coming out of retirement,
but on one condition,
and that's I need a generational punter
to come back with me,
do you think the Ravens would trade a third-round pick?
Sam Cooke.
That was a compliment for Sam Cooke,
which I can respect.
Oh.
I can absolutely respect that.
I learned a lot from Sam Cooke.
But the Andrew Luck conversation yesterday was awesome.
I loved the fact that we got to bury some fake text messages from him.
So much so that old buddy came out.
The internet all buried this.
We're not the only ones.
Listen, we held the line, though.
The internet, he tweeted out that he's been hacked or something.
He had to back off it so much that I have been hacked or whatever.
Great.
But the Andrew Luck conversation coming back that spurred from old buddy getting hacked
was a good one, though, because the thought of Andrew Luck entering this already frantic
and frenzy.
Frenzied.
Hell yeah.
Frenzied?
Yeah.
Frenzied quarterback offseason that's about to happen?
I'm all about it.
Imagine, you know, Andrew, I thought to happen i'm all about it imagine you know
andrew i thought about this last night whenever i thought you know we really we really uh squeezed
the towel of the andrew luck fake rumors pretty dry i mean we went really hard and that's what
you gotta do daily show okay especially whenever super bowl week there's no stories at all no no
okay so whenever a fake obvious fake which we very clearly stated early,
but then that spurs to a conversation of Andrew Luck coming back.
You can't help but just think about the possibilities,
especially with how good of a football player he is.
If he comes back like Gronk did, you know, a couple years away from the game,
refreshed, re-happy, and all that stuff.
Yeah, Mike Austin, Ricard on sports, by the way.
We wrongly reported yesterday that that was a show.
That's a human.
I guess he's the program director for 1070 The Fan down here in Indianapolis.
Great work.
Dan Dockich is on there.
I respect what you have done.
JMV is on as well.
I respect that.
I don't know how long this guy's been around.
I've never met him.
But Ricard on Sports is the local program director.
Good guy.
Sorry, we misreported that yesterday.
But anyways, last night while I was taking a shower after the Oculus Arena,
I got car sick, by the way.
Played Echo, which is a game Billy told me to play,
and I almost puked in my fucking room.
I almost just puked all over.
That'll happen.
You float through.
Like, you actually have, like, little jets on your hands
that float you through like you're in space.
It's like zero gravity.
Damn.
It is awesome.
It's a free game, too.
It makes no sense. And they even have your arms so like most of these vr things you only see
your hands or whatever but the whole arms there it's very trippy it is very very good but i got
i didn't even get into the game i was just puking or whatever i'm looking at photos right now it's
insane yeah jetpack yeah i was training for the jetpack and my wife by the way was very pumped
that i got sick because uh she's like what do you think it's gonna be like with a jetpack i'm like well that's
real life that's not on my fucking face so i'm still looking for a jetpack by the way uh but
anyways while i was in the shower after that feeling kind of sick thinking about the day
you know there's a lot of thoughts that went through my mind business decisions to be made
business relationships to be cut or grown,
you know, like a lot of that.
And then I thought about Deshaun Watson,
Andrew Luck.
Andrew grew up in Houston.
Well, he went to Germany, by the way. He was born in Germany, I think,
or once a couple years.
But he went to high school in Houston, I believe.
Every time he went to Houston,
a lot of high school friends were there watching Andrew. Lovesston i think his dad ran the houston dynamo for a while
in the mls andrew had a lot of uh great stories about that i think he wants to get into owning
a soccer team at some point maybe one day i'm not 100 sure if i overheard the conversation he was
having with somebody else well enough but he um i think he that i don't know
how we didn't bring that up yesterday that would be wild if that happened that would be absolutely
no i don't know why andrew would want to leave a team that is built to be absolutely incredible
right now to go to houston not saying he would but i can't believe we didn't touch on that yesterday
and i feel like i let us down not bringing that up yesterday i mean yeah one more if i could have got it out of ty's hands one more of those i think we would have got
that's on me i apologize dad played for the houston oilers he was the ceo of houston sports
authority for five years he was the president general manager of houston dynamo for five years
a lot of ties there yeah that's where andrew went to high school or whatever. Yeah. So, you know, I mean, can't believe we didn't cover that yesterday.
I think that would have done well.
But sure sounds like Andrew is not coming back to football.
And it seems like he's, like we all thought,
before these fake text messages led to a conversation of him potentially coming back.
I don't know if that guy's ever coming back.
I wish the world got a chance to see him play football again, especially on a very good
team. But also, I wish
Andrew Luck enjoyed
his world as well. Hell yeah.
I'm a nice guy.
Heaven forbid anything... I retired young.
Exactly. Heaven forbid anything happen to
Rigoberto, but if Luck did come back
and Rigoberto got hurt in the preseason,
would you consider suiting him up?
It's very interesting you ask that question
because you've heard a couple of the offers
we've had over the couple of years
that I had to go back and play.
Oh, yeah.
And what has ultimately been the answer
every single time,
which has been setups, by the way.
Not bad.
Hindsight, by the way.
Pretty sweet.
Hindsight is a very interesting thing.
Probably not, though.
But I do appreciate,
just like Donnie Dungy said yesterday,
for eight years people were going to say he was going to come back
and things like that.
I take a lot of pride in the fact that people that I have met
through my years that have watched me kick and practice
and everything, be a teammate, coaches that are still around,
have reached out and said, hey, are we done with?
You want to maybe figure out how to do both?
One more. It's it's an
incredible honor every time that happens i obviously feel very good about myself every
time that happens but i i am also very comfortable with where we are as a company and what i'm doing
i'm very thankful for the current profession because i can see how guys who aren't i feel
like we're still around the game right like yeah i feel like i'm still a part of the game like i very much feel like I'm still a part of the game. Like, I very much feel like I'm still very part of the game.
And we have the locker room feel still.
We have all the different personalities that you could ever have in a locker room.
So everything that I think guys miss about the game, I do not have problems with at this moment.
Now, once this is done and I disappear somewhere, how will i last there will that kind of you know
will that scratch the itch to do anything else but like you know what i mean that'll be an
interesting thing because i do believe my legs will be strong enough for a long time
to be able to kick a ball you know what i mean i do believe that not that i would come back and
kick but will i ever be able to retire if i didn't have this would i have already gone back and i
would assume ten thousand percent yes but also i probably wouldn't have this would I have already gone back? And I would assume 10,000% yes. But also
I probably wouldn't have retired if I knew this
was probable. So you know what I mean?
It's a couple things. So the answer is no.
Man, you coming back
at 45 though. Could you imagine?
That would be electric. One or two games?
Yeah. Alright, I got
week 9, week 10. Arch Manning
is a QB from the Colts.
That would be awesome. We'll see QB from the Colts. That would be awesome.
We'll see what Jimmy from the Colts has.
Let's go to Duber down here in Tampa.
What's going on, Duber?
This guy smokes a lot.
Hey, Pat and the boys.
Can you guys hear me?
Yeah, yeah.
Duber, what's the name?
How did we get here?
What did it originally start as?
Sweet.
I was expecting that question. I appreciate that.
So,
Duber is actually
my dad's middle name
and I was blessed enough
to be given
that name as my first name.
So, Duber's real name?
Yes, sir.
That's gorgeous. Maybe a little
Duber McAfee.
Ooh. Or Doobie McAfee. Maybe a little Doober McAfee.
Or Doobie McAfee.
I was thinking Doobie Doobs.
Doobie Doobs.
McAfee.
Doobie, Doobie Doobs.
Where are you?
McAfee.
My wife is currently watching Shooting That One Down, I assume.
Which is a shame.
Doobie McAfee.
Doobie would be a fan favorite no matter what Doobie did.
I put a golf club in Doobie's hands whenever he gets orders.
McAfee, Doobie on the tee.
You know what I mean? By Tiger.
Doobie.
Doobie.
Doobie or E-U-B?
What's that?
Spelling.
D-O-O-B or D-E-W-B?
D-U-B.
Man, we know yours, DoobB. We know yours, Duber.
We're talking about my kid.
Hey, Duber.
We're talking about my kid.
Come on, Duber.
I'm going double O, I think.
I'm going double O.
Doobie, Du,
McAfee.
That's my new favorite.
It's going to be hard to get me off of that.
There's a text coming probably in the next McAfee. That's my new favorite. Lock it in. It's going to be hard to get me off of that. It's going to be hard to get me off of that.
There's a text coming probably in the next minute to two about how there's
no chance that I will be able to
do that, but hey,
that's a two-way street, right?
It's a conversation.
That could be
male or female, really.
I mean, you know.
It's a heterosex name. name my daughter imagine her being like this
imagine her being an incredible fiddler you know on the violin she's playing at some like
fucking opera house or whatever symphony the greatest orchestra ever first strings
she made me so bad.
It's going to have to be a dude name, I think.
I think Doob's going to have to be a dude.
But I'll tell you what, it's not like you're putting a name on him where he's expected to be great at sports.
No.
Actually, the complete opposite.
Do anything.
Like, hey, if Doob can figure it out.
You know what I mean?
I'm kind of setting the expectation.
No offense to you, Doober, please, but I'm talking about my child here.
It's okay.
If Mitt walked in and we had to guess his name,
I'd probably guess Dube.
Hey, Dube.
That's Dube.
You're right.
Or am I setting my kid
up for failure,
potentially,
because of what you just said?
It kind of gives an excuse
to the little jackass
out there.
You're setting him up
to break stereotypes.
I mean, Dube could be
an astronaut,
for all we know.
My kid will not be able
to be a fucking astronaut. All right, be in he'll be in space for sure he will not be an
astronaut there's no way for mankind hey hey dude listen i know you are living this incredibly
comfortable life all right i see what you're doing here you got a real everything's for you
basically at this point your dad didn't grow up that way okay an astronaut you might make money
it's going to cost a lot of fucking money all right so let's turn our focus to things that generate capital
all right so then you can get off of my fucking payroll and then i can live off of yours all right
doobie this is a deal this is a two-way street and doobie's gonna say i want to be an astronaut
you're too dumb with doob the bar is always set low so everyone will always be impressed no matter
what dude's like and by the way, conversation, icebreaker,
are you kidding me? What's your name?
Doobie.
Like we just did to Doober, by the way.
Yeah.
Doober, what do you want to talk about, pal?
Alright, cool.
Classic, dude.
Say
Tampa wins The Super Bowl
What are the chances
Of a free agent
Such as
Chris Godwin
Devontae Davis
Shaq Barrett
And whoever else
Comes back
And wins
The Super Bowl
Two years in a row
Attaboy dude
I appreciate that
My wife has texted me
She doesn't hate the name
She's not all the way out
Let's go
Hey
Come on
Doobie man It's happening Happening I think so It feels My wife has texted me. She doesn't hate the name. She's not all the way out. Let's go. Hey. Come on.
Doobie, man.
Doobie Doo.
Happening.
I think so.
It feels like the right name.
Might as well have been a yes.
No.
No, that means like, that's a big TBD text right there.
Better than no.
I think she has some names that she is eyeing.
I've had to cancel a few already.
Sure. I'm like, can't do it.
Won't do it.
Is it like picking the jury? You only get a certain amount of like, vetoes? I don't know how many I have, to be honest few already. Can't do it. Won't do it. Is it like picking the jury?
You only get a certain amount of vetoes?
I don't know how many I have, to be honest, in any of this.
The name that I have vetoed and canceled out,
probably potentially still a winner.
I don't think I have any control over any of this.
The interesting thing, though, about your kid named Doobie,
will you be questioned?
Not at that point, though.
I love the Doobie Brothers.
Who cares? What song did the Doobie Brothers sing?
Oh, listen to the music.
That's the one.
Oh, listen to the music.
I do believe you cut that off a little short.
Yeah, I did. I wanted to be quick with it.
Didn't have it. Also, you know,
Jesus, you're alright with me.
Jesus, you're alright.
Oh, yeah
Okay.
Just tell me your big doobie song.
By the way,
I probably have heard
a lot of Doobie Brothers music.
I'm sure you have.
I know a lot of songs.
Don't know a lot of who sang them
or what the name of their songs are.
Name That Tune was on Fox last night.
Pretty good.
That show stinks.
Oh, no.
That show stinks.
Who's hosting it?
Ken Jung? No, he's on. Who's hosting it? Ken Jung?
No, he's on...
Toast and every other goddamn game show out there.
He's on Masked Singer and Masked Dancer.
You are right.
Masked Dancer, I caught the tail end of it.
Name That Tune came on.
Because that's a show I feel like I would be good at
because I know a lot of songs.
But then I quickly realized,
oh, you have to know...
You can't just sing.
If I could just start singing the rest of the song, that'd be great.
You have to know name of song and everything like that.
They got some shit to figure out with that show, though.
That show's going to be a tough watch.
So it stinks.
First episode I have watched, I thought, was very bad television.
Okay.
So no go.
But I'm not a judge.
Well, I guess I am, because I'm currently judging.
But I don't know if I'm their target demographic. The Masked demographic the mass dancer though i think that one's going to be a heater
for a long time really yeah i like that show i'm a big fan of that show only watch four minutes of
it but i'm a big and that is only a clip on instagram so i don't really know if i like the
show or not but it feels like that one has a good concept. Masked Singer changed the game. You know, Masked Singer was a great game show that came out of nowhere.
Nick Cannon, obviously, he was the host of everything for a while.
Yeah, AGT.
Then he said some things that everybody was like, well, okay.
Can't have that guy associated with us.
This isn't Wildin' Out, man.
Bring in Terry Crews.
And by the way, Wildin' Out, incredible success story.
Yeah.
Okay, like incredible success story, big fan.
But I do believe Nick Cannon said some things that, you know,
a lot of shows were like, can't do it.
All right, Nick, it's been a fun run here for a long time.
Get out.
Masked Singer was just like, here you go, come on in.
Was he Craig Robinson?
I think he's, yeah, for Masked Dancer.
I saw him at the end doing a little dance,
and he stared at the camera, and then it cut,
and that was all I saw.
And I think that has added to me liking the show
but nick cannon just got that mass singer and that has been a massive success over there
gronk was on it white tiger yeah when he was uh the host or whatever friend of the show
sanchez came on the day after he got eliminated yeah also friend of the show but never been on
the show was scheduled to be on the show terry Bradshaw was once on the show. Good point. He is still looking for the Super Bowl set.
I saw him yesterday.
Jesus.
Terry.
Where's the McAfee set?
A goddamn comb through your hair, dude.
People in the comments section are saying they feel bad for the callers.
We'll get to his question.
I think if they win a Super Bowl, a lot of them are going to want to go back.
I would assume the free agents.
But also, whenever you win a Super Bowl, there's a lot of money that comes too.
You know, whatever.
Success brings a lot of enticing options, I'd assume, to get out of there.
Because other teams that aren't as good are looking to have a piece of what is good.
So they say whenever you win, there's enough to go around.
But that is not true if you think about it in the context of within your own organization.
When you win, there's enough to go around in the entire NFL that are going to be looking for looking for spots so chris godwin for instance there's going to be a lot of teams that want
chris godwin and even though chris godwin's had a couple games here as of late that are out of
chris godwin's like playing he had a couple drops which never happened chris godwin is a stud wide
receiver that a lot of people are going to want i believe he he said... Shaq Barrett. Shaq Barrett and somebody else.
Levante Davis.
I think there's going to be some movement that's going to happen,
but if you're a Tampa Bay Buccaneer fan,
and Tom is already talking about the next Super Bowl,
which is what he said,
we're talking about the next Super Bowl as soon as this game's over,
and I'm going to play pass in 45.
Look for a lot of older names that are potential free agents
that are great football players that are going to ring chase down to Tampa.
No state tax and to have Tom Brady.
You used to have to go up to New England, and it was cold, taxed,
and you're ring chasing.
Look for people to obviously go Kansas City.
Look for people to go to Tampa Bay,
especially the older guys who are at the end of their career looking for something.
One of the different situations,
Levante David has got his five-year $50 million contract in his career.
Godwin is coming off his rookie contract. And Jack
Barrett, I believe, is playing on a one-year contract.
Franchise tag. Hey, listen.
Everybody wants to get paid.
Hey, listen. I won't
play football for this program, for this
team, for this coach, for these teammates.
But somebody wants to pay me to play
for that program.
You have to think like that for real.
Zito, today's poll, what is it?
Are we still on YouTube?
How many votes did yesterday's thing have?
Let me check yesterday's real quick, but today we have over 43,000.
Yesterday was 168,000.
Jesus Christ.
That is a large sample size.
Huge.
What is today's poll?
Who ended up winning yesterday's poll?
Was it Wings or Pizza?
Oh, you're going to be mad. It was. Actually, be mad it was actually no wings won it man yeah that's oh you were pizza man
if it was percentage uh 44 for pizza digs that's you huh that's your get it people get it
your your wings over pizza guy all day every day times yeah and you're italian i am interesting
how do you feel about that?
Well, it just has to be the right pizza.
It's very hard to find.
No, no, no.
So there's not stipulations here.
We are envisioning the best pizza you've ever had,
best wing you've ever had.
Wings.
Wow.
Tony.
Really?
That's awesome.
I wish I liked wings that much.
I like wings.
Don't get me wrong. I still like wings. Tony like wingies. That's awesome. I wish I liked wings that much. I like wings. Don't get me wrong.
I still like wings.
Tony likes wingies.
That's good.
You know.
He eats them in bed.
It's a very aggressive decision.
And then he just wipes his hands off on the...
I go through
seven pairs of sheets a week.
Just toss them over the floor.
All right.
No one actually sleeps I go through seven pairs of sheets a week. Just toss them over the floor. One mercy. All right. Going to have to put the fucking red sauce.
No one actually sleeps with the top sheet, so you can use that.
That is true.
Smart, smart.
I thought pizza would win that.
I am in the wrong.
What is today's?
Today is who is the better quarterback?
Tom Brady, 43%.
Patrick Mahomes, 57%.
43% Patrick Mahomes
57%
you picked me
no no
I did not pick that
that's a different
computer right there
whoever's back there
pick
whoever's back there
oh there he is
yes I'm in
oh
wow
the show has picked Tom Brady
because the computer user
and his friends behind the glass
respect their elders.
I would like to let everybody know
that that vote may or may not be the same as mine
and it does not reflect the views of anybody else
in this room aside from the people behind the glass.
That was Fauci voting. That was Fauci. And it does not reflect the views of anybody else in this room aside from the people behind the glass.
That was Fauci voting.
That was Fauci.
Has the show always been on the wrong side of the fans?
It does feel like we are in our... Go back.
Go back to that thing.
Go to the first...
Go up to the...
The first poll.
First roll down.
Oh, passed it.
Oh, you passed it.
Oh, no vote on that one.
Oh, you got a vote?
Okay, go ahead.
Who do you want?
Pick the Lions.
Pick the Lions.
Yeah!
Oh, no.
Wrong side on home.
No, we were on that one.
We were on that one.
No, I didn't think we were.
That's why we don't vote.
Hey, this is not about us.
This poll is not about us this poll is not about us
we are we are simply using it because youtube pushes it into everybody that has youtube screens
and also it is very nice to have a nice focus group to give us the answers on things we
potentially don't know the answer to yeah the wings voters were fucking wrong. I agree.
We will be joined here soon, shortly, right now, okay, by a man who was just named the 2020 NFL Pepsi No Sugar Rookie of the Year,
ladies and gentlemen, quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers,
first-round pick less than a year
ago for them justin hurd
how many interviews have you done today and how many are you scheduled to do
um probably six or seven so far but uh i was looking forward to this one the most oh
it was very nice of you i'm happy they
put you in a room with uh incredible lighting there you don't look like you're being held
hostage at all all right let's talk about the season that was justin absolutely unbelievable
transition from college into the nfl and obviously the circumstances regarding your first start
were not ideal with uh i assume you have a lot of respect and kinship with Tyrod Taylor,
but then once you got in there, you were able to put a lot of questions to sleep that people
potentially had about you being from a small town, maybe not live, can't command a huddle
or anything like that. You were phenomenal, dude. I hope everybody's giving you your flowers today
because you absolutely deserve it. How was the transition? Was it whenever you were just kind
of dropped in there out of nowhere to play? was it week to week week over week that you
continue to learn because you continue to get better and better this year well thank you i
really appreciate that and i think i think you said it best tyrod is an incredible leader an
incredible teammate and um you know we got pretty close and that quarterback room was pretty special
and he was always there for us to help out. Yeah, obviously a tough year.
It didn't go the way we wanted it to.
We didn't win as many games as we would have liked.
But I learned a lot, and to be thrown in like that, what a crazy, crazy scenario.
And I'm thankful for Pep Hamilton, our quarterback coach,
who kind of took me aside early on in the year and said,
you know, Jess, we don't really know when or if you're going to go in,
but you need to be ready when that happens.
And because of him, I felt like I was ready and just kind of took over from there. know when or or if you're going to go in but you need to be ready when that happens and and because
of him you know i felt like i was ready and um just kind of took over from there how big was
the nike deal was it a big one like a good one um that's actually still being finalized um you know
i think with coronavirus and everything going on uh they were unable to kind of put something
together so that's still in the process hey you will go to adidas though right you will go to adidas if there's a great offer no i've i've always been nike
people aren't gonna be too happy to hear that but i've always been nike so i'm gonna support
them no matter what i understand i mean that's putting yourself in terrible leverage and costing
yourself probably a lot but at this point the relationship with Nike will be awesome uh going
into next year what are you working on this offseason and by the way the haircut are we
sticking short are we growing the flow back what is the idea this offseason here yeah it'll be
growing back out yes it was such a good flow dude I want to let you know a lot of people bummed in
Indianapolis when you cut that hair but we we understood you're probably making some sort of decision.
So the hair's coming back this offseason.
What are you working on going into year two?
Well, yeah, it's coming back, but this is my normal hair length,
and so I think that's kind of what trips people out.
It's always been this length, and so I just cut it during the year,
and I didn't realize it was going to get so much attention.
But it'll be coming back.
And, yeah, this offseason, it's huge.
It'll be –
Hold on.
Just hold the phone. So whenever it comes back, but it'll be coming back. And yeah, this off season, it's huge. It'll be- Hold on, hold the phone.
So whenever it comes back, is it staying or are you cutting it every single year
and then it will just be a yearly growth thing?
That's a good question.
I probably really haven't thought that far out yet.
It'll probably stay though.
I miss the long hair, so it'll probably stay.
You play great football with short hair,
so I don't think it's going to be a big thing.
So that's good news.
That's at least good news.
This offseason, what are you going to work on?
Yeah, so it's going to be working with the receivers.
It's going to be a new offense.
We're getting a new coaching staff, and I've met with Coach Daly and Coach Lombardi a couple times,
and they sound like great guys.
I've only heard good things from them.
So it'll be figuring that out, that offense, working with the receivers.
Got a lot of guys coming back so
lots to look forward to hey whatever you're throwing on hard knocks into those tiny little
things and pep hamilton was kind of talking shit to you i think that was potentially the moment
where i was like i think a lot of people that ever played were like oh this guy is going to
be incredible you were throwing to like spots in the games and then in that practice you were like throwing darts and they
always say accuracy is a big thing your size is something i think that's underestimated i think a
lot of people did especially while you were just you were running people over and then did you see
you flexed on a guy oh yeah do you remember that you you ran a guy over and you just like stood up
and flexed on him you remember that i don't remember that you're probably concussed yeah maybe add it maybe
add it into the repertoire by the way because you were it was unbelievable to watch but i think like
your physical abilities i did not have a clue about i think until we watched it was like holy
hell with how tall you are but you were throwing to spots now did you have you always done that
because that's a big transition right from college
to nfl is you know guys in college are wide ass open normally right i mean that is it's a much
different game and in the nfl guys like it's going to be a much tighter window is that something that
was an easy transition for you is that something that you noticed like oh this is much smaller
holes to throw the ball into this year and it was that something you had to continue to work on or was it natural?
Yeah, that's just something that coaches and other players have kind of said,
you know, Justin, like going forward, this is what you,
what you need to expect. And obviously no one's going to be wide open.
And sometimes they are, but it's, it's not really like that.
And I think the best part about the hard, hard knocks clips was they only showed
the good ones. And so they didn't, you guys didn't get to see the ones.
We saw all of jordan loves those ones it's the only ones that got out for jordan were the bad ones the only one that got out for the pepsi zero sugar review of the year were the good ones
that's good news that's good news for you there um how good is how delicious is that Pepsi Zero Sugar, Justin?
So delicious.
Big fan.
Classic.
What do you got?
Justin, when you guys played the Raiders this year,
Marcus Mariota ended up coming in.
Were you mentally prepared to face what was possibly the best Oregon quarterback of all time, which I believe now you hold that title,
or were you just hoping to talk to him after the game?
No, see, I didn't even think about that.
As soon as Derek Carr goes down and I see Marcus going, I'm thinking,
oh, well, this is the guy I looked up to.
This is the guy I watched for so long.
Now I'm getting the chance to play him.
And he played really well, and I thought that was great for him.
He's an incredible guy, an incredible leader,
and it was pretty cool to be able to talk with him after the game as well.
Any defenses confused the hell out of you?
Yeah, there were a bunch of them.
Defenses are so much more complicated in the NFL,
and the way they bring in pressures and the guys, the pass rushers,
are so much faster, so they're able to get away with more.
I think protections are huge,
and so that's just something I've had to learn a bunch this year as well. Sam Darnold had some leaked audio of a
Monday Night Football game of him saying I'm seeing ghosts what did that mean you think now
that you've gone through one NFL what does that mean does that mean he thinks he's seeing one
thing and another thing comes and did that happen to you this year where it was just like I had no
idea that that was going to happen? Well yeah yeah, that's actually a pretty common phrase.
I've heard that back in college a couple times, and I think it's just when you see the pressure
and guys are getting in the backfield
and you think you don't have as much time as you actually do,
and everything's happening so quickly
that you try and get the ball off as quick as you can,
and sometimes you think there's pressure when there's not.
So that's a pretty common reference that I had.
Oh, see, I thought he was talking about the coverage or something but
instead it's like you're getting like the like uh almost happy feet in the pocket happens to
a lot of quarterbacks that i mean you just cleared something up for me there made me a smarter person
i appreciate that justin with the short hair what do you got justin you guys beat the chiefs by 17
points in uh the last week of the season so So, basically, ipso facto, if they win, you're the Super Bowl champion.
Congrats.
Congratulations.
And Super Bowl champion.
Way to go.
I wish it worked that way.
You did have success against them, though,
without knowing that you were going to play against them with 15 minutes left
because a golf tee was shoved into the starting quarterback's lung.
The thought of you playing. you hey you kept it you ate that that
was very impressive what you just did right there yep that was very good let's move along
but going against the world champs in your first game with 15 minutes uh as a head start what was
the thoughts going into that game were you just like you said pep had you prepared or whatever
but there had to be a moment where a human steps in there and you're like all right here we go this is not ideal obviously had
no idea this was what was the full the process of that day almost because you guys almost beat
them i mean it was an incredible game at the it was incredible well this is one of my favorite
stories to tell um because i remember walking down We're about to receive the kick, and I'm yelling, let's go offense, let's go.
I didn't have my helmet.
It wasn't warmed up.
Coach Lynn comes up to me and goes, like, you're in, Justin.
And I was thinking, I didn't know if this was planned all along,
and they just kept it hidden from me.
And so then Coach Steichen and Pepe Hamilton, they both come up to me and say,
like, you're going in, like, time to focus up.
And I just had the biggest smile on my face.
I was like, yeah, let's go, guys.
I'm excited.
And I go out to the huddle, and Hunter Henry is like,
what are you doing out here?
And I was like, right before this, that's what you're going to tell me?
And so it was kind of funny.
But no, it was a crazy, crazy scenario.
It all happened so quickly. The command of a huddle is something that they judge quarterbacks
on and whether or not they'll be able to make the transition from college to the NFL. How was that
for you? How was the relationship? I assume after the guys got to watch you play a few downs,
they were like, OK, we got a guy here. But what was that like kind of being a leader of grown-ass men
because of the position that you're in out of nowhere?
It's a pretty cool opportunity.
And having been from Oregon where we no huddled, we never really were in a huddle.
And so that's something I had to practice in the offseason.
And I stumbled on a bunch of play calls.
You know, guys were laughing.
And, I mean, that happens.
You're going to make mistakes like that.
But in the Chiefs game, actually, I ran off to the sideline and I got hit on a third and short.
And like two guys collided.
And I think the other guy was on the ground for a little bit.
And I ran back to the huddle.
And no, I don't think it was that one.
No, no, yeah.
Finish your story.
I'm sorry.
I interrupted you.
I was hurting too.
And I ran back to the huddle.
And Austin Eckler was like, Justin, are you okay you okay like what just happened yeah i'm fine like let's
keep going and i think i think that's when um i'd like to think i kind of realized how tough i was
well i think the whole world by the way because i remember watching that um i have a setup where i
watch all the games you know and whenever you got into the game it was very interesting like oh okay
here we go our guys play and at that point we didn't know the golf tee thing right had gone in there
but the highlight of you running the guy over i mean that thing hit the internet and just went
and they're like look at this dude i mean you it is it's been awesome to watch congrats on the
pepsi zero sugar rookie of the year are you going to do with the trophy?
I think it'll go to my parents' house.
There's probably a place for it there.
I think they've kept my room intact, so hopefully it'll go in there.
Have you bought a house in Los Angeles?
I have not.
You just live in an apartment down there?
A townhouse.
It's about time now with this Pepsi Zero
sugar money and
inevitably Nike money.
Let's go ahead and
get a pretty sweet
place, dude.
Yeah, we'll see.
It's nice knowing
that I've got a year
under my belt, so
that's something I'll
look forward to the
next couple of years.
Smart, yeah, because
they always say do not
buy.
You have no idea what
the future holds.
And here's Aaron
Rogers, by the way,
at the age of 37,
saying the same exact thing.
I assume this is going to be the rest of your career.
Congrats on an incredible start.
It was a joy to watch.
Can't wait to see the hair come back in you in your second year, brother.
Thank you, guys.
It's always a pleasure.
The pleasure's ours, Justin.
Hey, by the way, smart not to laugh earlier about the, you know,
you had to eat that one.
That was a very professional quarterback of you.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I got you there.
Justin.
Yeah!
That was awesome.
He did have to eat it.
Oh, yeah.
While I was talking, and I was literally,
I was going to continue just to bury it.
I mean, they took that thing out and just to and just to see what, because by the way,
he's probably friends with that doctor too.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Hopefully.
Well, that doctor, you know, they, I've been told by people that have gotten that shot
that they tell you, the people get that shot and know that this is very much a potential
outcome and it hasn't happened, I guess, in a long, long time.
But I guess when you're sticking needles in your lungs, things happen.
Do you think with the kind of little regime change
that they may have shit-canned that guy?
I don't know.
Do doctors change with the regime?
No, because Spanos runs it, right?
Oh, yeah, true.
What were you going to say, Nick?
I think that doc saw Herbert slinging around practice
and said, if the coach isn't going to make a call, take care of this one.
I went to school for 16 years, okay?
I know it's good.
I've seen talent.
That guy.
After the game, he walks up to Anthony Lynn.
You're welcome.
Hey, I saved the needle for you.
Told you.
Couldn't save your job, but saved the needle.
Tyrod Taylor.
Man.
I will say this again.
Maybe the most unfortunate quarterback in the history of the NFL,
but is so widely respected still at this point.
Wins a Super Bowl right at Baltimore, I think.
Pushed out because he was back up.
Goes up to Buffalo.
Takes them to the playoffs for the first time ever.
Like forever.
They say, all right, see you later.
Go to Cleveland.
Gets hurt.
Baker Mayfield comes in and plays the best football he has ever played
in relief of him.
See you later.
You're gone.
Go to Los Angeles.
Phil Rivers leaves.
This is your team.
This is your team.
Herbert wants to.
Tyron Taylor.
Hey, listen.
I appreciate what you've done to the NFL.
Thank you, Tyron.
Thank you.
And obviously with the, I mean, that just caps it all off.
He's been screwed.
He has been completely screwed at this point.
Tough.

We're doing it all.
We're doing it all.
You know what I'm saying?
We're doing it all.
Hey, I like that.
Have a great Super Bowl week down there, JK.
Hell yeah.
I can't wait to collect your Panini rookie card
because it's going to be worth hundreds of thousands,
if not millions someday.
Let's talk about your rookie.
Great chain, by the way.
Good chain. Wow. Good chain. Oh's talk about your rookie. Great chain, by the way. Good chain.
Wow.
Good chain.
Oh, two of them on.
Okay.
Was that first check?
Was that first game check right there?
No, no, no, no.
I don't spend none of my contract money.
Oh, panini money.
Let's go. Okay, I like your respect. I hope you sign a bunch of cards. I can't wait to
see the next chains that you get there, but let's talk about your rookie year. Okay. You, you
progressed into being the feature guy at the back and that team obviously built around the run for
a long, long time. You come in there and you kind of flip it on its head a little bit so much so
that you're going to be the guy going forward alongside Gus. What did you learn this year?
You think tough year to be a rookie in the NFL, by the way, COVID can't be around each other.
The Ravens, you guys weren't even allowed to building, I guess. What did you learn from this
year and your big takeaway from your rookie year? Yeah, man, what I learned this year was patience.
I had to learn patience. I had to learn a whole bunch of stuff because it was
my first year in the NFL. You had
COVID, so
you didn't have preseason
games. You didn't have
none of that extra stuff.
It was patience for me.
I had to learn patience.
It was tough on me mentally not being able
to get at least
five carries in the first half of the season. It was tough on me. Hey being able to get, you know, at least five carries in the first half of the season.
It was tough on me, you know.
So, hey, JK, I saw a moment.
We all saw a moment.
You came to the sideline.
You were not happy.
I forget when it was.
And it was basically, it was very obvious.
You were like, I would like the ball.
Like, I would like the ball a little bit more.
Is that what you're referring to here whenever you're talking about patience?
Because a very talented backfield, obviously, you guys had.
But I felt like every time you got the ball, it seemed like the ball was moving very well.
And I assume you potentially were having the same feelings in that moment?
Yes.
Yeah, so that's what, yeah, I was getting frustrated.
I was so frustrated, you know, because, you know, I was, I felt like I was doing pretty good with the ball,
you know, but, you know, the coaches had a great plan for me, you know what I'm saying? So
looking back at it now, it's like, okay, I understand what was going on and what, like,
what they were doing and things like that. But in the moment, man, I was frustrated. I was so
frustrated. Like, like you said, I would go to the sideline and like i'm not a selfish guy but i
just want to play like i just want to play like i want to make plays i find myself on being a
playmaker you know so it was very tough on me you know not being able to do that and so that was
probably a fine balance for you i'd assume because you're also you're like i don't want to be a bad
teammate here okay i don't want to be a bad teammate here never been a bad teammate but also
i like the fucking ball a little bit so how do that's probably like a little bit mentally that is probably a tough thing to do did
you have to like i assume there's a lot of moments where you had to hold back and then inevitably
whenever you're like okay i'm at the point where i'm a little bit more comfortable here i can do it
uh i'm thankful that they started giving you the ball more it was a lot of fun to watch you run
uh the transition from college nfl isn't always an one. I think you did it rather well. Any
big hits from a grown-ass man
this year that you were like, oh, this is the men's
league. Okay, this is a little bit different. Now, was there any
of that? Yeah, that was,
I think it was against the Giants.
I didn't see the guy. I made someone
miss, and then I didn't
see the guy fast enough, and
he cracked me in the ribs. I stayed up.
I don't know what i did like
after i stayed up and i got tackled from other guys i just i literally just sat there and i was
like all right i needed to sit here because i tried to get up and go to the sideline because i
i was hurting but i couldn't i had i literally had to sit there you know it was like it was a hit
you're looking for jesus down there while you're sitting down.
I don't know what's going on here.
Did anything happen?
Did you fracture ribs, or was it just a shot that you had maybe a little bit startling?
Yeah, I was startled.
I definitely had like a deep bruise right in there, around that area.
But it was good.
I was ready to go the next week.
Talk about Lamar.
Ready to go to the next play, really. See, that's the difference between you and me, JK. I would ready to go the next week. Talk about Lamar. Ready to go the next play, really.
See, that's the difference between you and me, JK.
You know, I would have been out a week or two, maybe a month.
You know, I got to make sure I'm breathing right to make sure I kick this ball well.
Let's go ahead and have a little bit of respect for that.
Lamar Jackson in the backfield.
We watch on TV.
Obviously, the poop game against the Browns is the big highlight of the year.
And then in the playoffs, get a win. Okay, that's huge. A lot of people were
talking about that. What was it like playing on the same
team as him? And what have you learned from Lamar?
And what is he like
as a quarterback of the Ravens?
Man, I'm
glad I'm teammates with Lamar, man.
That guy, he's an amazing player.
You know, but he's also a good guy
as well. You know, a great leader, a great brother, you know.
And I'm glad I'm on his team.
You know, it's amazing to, you know, watch some of the things he does on the field.
It's like, dang, this guy is special, you know.
So I'm glad he's on my team, especially when he came back after his little poop.
That was the that was like,
that was the craziest thing I've ever seen.
Insane game.
That was an insane game.
I mean,
what was that?
The final two minutes were just an absolute boom,
boom,
boom,
boom,
bang.
What a win.
And like,
the thing is though,
on that play where we scored,
it was four,
I think it was fourth down.
Yeah.
And I was telling him,
like,
I was telling him to run.
Like I was, I was, we ran a platform. I was like, come on, run down yeah and i was telling him like i was telling him to run like i was i was we ran a pipe i was like come on run i thought he was gonna run and next thing you know he like pulled up and like i got hit blindside i got hit and i saw the ball in the
air i was like oh my gosh this is playoffs to know right now and hollywood caught the ball
and scored it was like amazing like he Like, it was like a movie.
He, like, comes out from the locker room.
Everybody's, like, cheering.
Then we go back out there.
It's fourth down.
I'm telling him to run, get the first down,
and he ends up doing his thing.
And that was, like, the craziest thing ever.
Yeah, well, then they score again, by the way.
And then another score happens.
I mean, it was just, like, that was an awesome game to be a part of.
If you're in the happy side of it, you know what I mean?
There was some heartbreak in that particular one as well
because the poop came out pretty clean.
What was the conversation?
Because maybe one of my favorite poetic justice shit-talking moments ever
was Marcus Peters, okay, getting the pick against the Titans in the playoffs, all right,
sliding, and without even having to be told,
without anybody reminding him, without anything like that,
immediately turned, oh, I remember what y'all motherfuckers did,
turned right around, goes right to the logo,
goes right to the logo, whole team's on there,
and it was just, it was an amazing moment.
And then after the game, obviously, everybody goes into the locker room.
Then Lamar had to do an interview or whatever.
But what was the conversation?
Because of the chatter that surrounded the Titans going on your guys' logo,
I assume that that was something that was talked about in the locker room
or Zoom calls going into that playoff week.
Am I wrong?
No, you're not wrong at all.
We didn't like that. We didn't like what they did that was disrespectful you know so um they had they had they got they
got what they deserve i believe if you watch the like the videos it's so funny to see like every
like everyone's doing something different on that logo it was like the funniest stuff ever like the ball spin then there's somebody like doing a full one i mean
it was that's a yeah that's a pretty epic photo and the fact the thing that i like about it most
is you'll see somebody get a pick or something and they'll forget to go down to the end zone camera
and then somebody will have to tell them like hey let's go over here somebody will score a touchdown
and they'll be like hey remember we're doing the and then they're like oh yeah
let's do it the fact that as soon as he went down there was like a pivot straight he was like no
there isn't even a we're going right to this thing and it felt like the entire sideline was like
yep yep this is what we're doing now granted that obviously set up for the jordan memes you know
whenever that whole thing happened but that rivalry rivalry you guys have with the Titans is incredible right now.
Ty, what do you got?
JK, we talked to Patrick Ricard a couple weeks ago.
What's it like having a guy that big lead blocking for you?
I assume it's pretty awesome.
Oh, yeah, it's amazing.
And he's my guy, too.
That boy, he can move, too, though.
He's like 300 pounds.
He can run, like, move too, though. He's like 300 pounds. He can run super fast.
I know when DBs have to tackle him, they're like, oh, here we go.
You know what I'm saying?
But he's an amazing blocker.
He be pancaking guys.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm glad he's on my team.
He said he's trying to dominate another saying i'm glad he's on my team he said he said he's trying to
dominate another guy every single play he's on if that's his mindset i'm trying to dominate another
man or whatever it's like jeez imagine just accidentally being like outside linebacker or
whatever just supposed to like have contain contain contain and then you turn and it's just
that thing and it's like all right j, here we go. This is a blast.
Thank you so much.
You played with a guy who's going to get drafted rather high, I believe,
in Mr. Fields, Justin.
Now, you didn't know him as a vegan, I don't think,
so you might have known a different quarterback at the time.
But there is a lot of conversation revolving around whether
or not he's going to be able.
It's a tough thing.
What you were able to do, not easy.
What the quarterbacks this year, Joey Burrow, Justin Herbert, Tua, Jalen.
What young quarterbacks are, it's tough to just go into the NFL.
It is very difficult to make the jump.
How well do you know Justin?
I assume you're very tight with him.
And how do you think he's going to fare after one year in the nfl after seeing you know him from
first-hand experience oh yeah he gonna he gonna i believe he gonna come in and be a playmaker
you know as long as you get come in and learn a playbook uh study film hard because like the nfl
is different like you gotta ain't gonna be no more wide open receivers like that.
Like, you ain't going to have many opportunities like that.
You know what I'm saying?
But he got the arm.
He got the talent.
I believe he's going to be a playmaker, you know.
And I can't wait to see him do his thing, too.
You think Ohio State ever wins the national championship again?
Oh, yes.
Oh.
Yes.
Saban – hey, Saban's still coaching down there?
Oh, yeah?
Oh, Saban's a problem, JK. Saban is a problem's still coaching Oh Saban's
A problem JK Saban
Is a problem that guy down there
Were you recruited to
Where all were you recruited to anywhere other than
Ohio State obviously yeah
I mean I had offers from Alabama
Oklahoma
Penn State
Texas
Texas A&M
I mean
I got to list all of them
at this point we get it
you're going to keep going
but we get it
why did you pick Ohio State
and why do you have faith that Ohio State is potentially going to win a national championship
again after being inside the building
which seems to generate a lot of dubs
a lot of dubs
but is he going to be able to keep up with Nick Saban down there in Alabama
and the SEC boys?
Yeah.
So, I mean, the reason why I chose Ohio State is because of the winning
tradition one.
But the coaching staff, the coaches they have there are amazing, you know.
And I knew I was going to get developed as a player, as a man.
And I knew I was going to get developed as a player, as a man.
But to your question about the natty, Coach Day, you better watch out for him.
He's going to be a goat one day.
Hey, we appreciate you so much.
We know you've got to go, okay?
You've got chains to buy, things to do, cards to invest in, including your own.
Ladies and gentlemen, J.K. Dobbins.
Oh, yeah, J.K.
Hey, you got to invest in cards.
That's right.
With Panini.
Yeah, you do.
It's a lucrative business.
It was not a sandwich.
I didn't find out.
Kind of a bummer.
Immediately found it. They had some sample questions for me to ask.
Oh, they did?
I should have. I might have actually hit them. I'm not 100% sure.
What are you doing with Panini today?
Did you collect cards as a kid?
That's a good one. Why'd you choose to
work with Panini?
How did it feel seeing yourself
on a Panini card for the first
time? I wonder.
Those would have been bangers there.
Shout out Panini.
That would have been a good one, that last one.
Yeah.
Who do they send those to?
It's like people read those, those questions they send?
I would assume so.
I appreciate them sending me that type of thing, you know what I mean?
Like helping me out.
But people read that and they go, all right, here's the interview.
Dynamite question number two on this list.
I didn't think about that one. That's and by the way who does that who like i think we've all gotten a
chance to realize my interviewing style it is actually not an interview at all it is just a
conversation i'm excited to see how it goes and where it goes and not more often than not i will
miss something that is a you know a this type of setup thing, or a very topical thing that I did not get to.
And that's why the boys come in.
The sniper position, the boys are awaiting.
I enjoy the conversations we have with people.
And I think after watching the Justin Herbert video,
where he had to swallow that smile
while he talked about what happened to Tyrod Taylor.
I'll never ask a gotcha question
because I'm in a conversation and maybe it is,
but I think at the point of the conversation, I can ask it, you'll give a, an answer or whatever,
but we do potentially put people in some gotcha moments.
And that was quite a gotcha moment there.
Yeah.
But you said, okay, you don't have to, you know, you don't have to, I saw what you did
there.
You don't have to say, maybe I only said it strictly to see his reaction to it.
Some things are for me to it.
People got to remember three hours a day, just talking to to this microphone some things are going to be a little selfish on
the microphone that particular time it was for me interesting enough you know conversation is a
little more entertaining than interviews you know it's wild you know because there are numerous
people that do this style of entertainment conversations with people, you know, Letterman, big time conversation,
I believe, uh, Oprah was a big time conversation. Have her. I believe there's a few others.
It is a style that, you know, I try to perfect every single evening whenever I go to bed,
because it is something that you can perfect is trying to find chemistry with another human.
You know, it's something that you can work on whenever you're at bed.
I know on the flip side,
there's other styles of interviews where you just,
you know,
write out questions,
which I do appreciate because those ones normally have a succinct thing,
just two different ways to go about doing things.
And I enjoy,
I enjoy,
I could not do the way they do things.
Just like I assume it'd be tough for them to do the style that we do.
All are good ways to do things.
Pepsi and Coke.
Yeah, now, granted, Coke, much better.
I agree.
But it is not the Coke Zero Sugar No Cal.
Coke Zero Sugar No Cal Rookie of the Year Award.
It's not.
They had them do an ad read, basically, before announcing.
Pepsi Zero Sugar is good for you.
Rookie of the Year Award.
Well, and it sounds like they didn't have a plug for it or anything.
That was the whole just, hey, let's just shove it all in the title,
get it out there, get it out of the way, and then they can just keep going.
He's not in Dallas?
Is that where Panini's headquarters is?
Diggs, I assume you know more about this than I do.
About Panini, you know, I am a am a big big panini guy definitely in the card
market i do not know cowboy territory tony what's he done he's from texas so i don't know maybe
they're like we'll come closer to you what if he just has that in his house there's guys by the
way doing interviews for companies right now all around these places they're just sitting in their
rooms different backdrops yeah it is awesome i am so happy for dudes being able to rake in money
by just sitting
in their basement right now because normally you got to go do the fake hype fake happy radio row
thing which by the way if we get a chance to go back we will do it and i'm not sure we will
schedule any guests we will actually just commentate the action yeah because there is
shit popping off at all times you got handlers dragging people into other people.
You got this going on.
Jeezy just walked by.
Jeezy, what's going on?
MC Hammer just walked by.
Oh, somebody's getting dragged this way.
Baker Mayfield sitting right here, just literally waiting to his next interview.
He's hiding over here.
Lizzo, cheeks covered, walk by.
CC Sabathia waving at us from you know down the road yeah that was very
nice it was awesome massive man romey hanging out at a mega set romey had a stage just for nine
people maybe the biggest one in there i think him sitting right in the middle legs up on the other
seat man it's awesome al Panini headquarters is Irving,
Texas. Other headquarters, Italy.
Ooh. Oh, really? A lot of soccer
clubs. Oh, and Panini.
Panini. Oh! What's his
face? Oh, amen. Yeah.
Ciao. Grazie. How much
does Messi make? His contract just got leaked.
I got a lot of tweets from people saying that Messi's
contract just got leaked, and he's dumping
on everybody. They said, Patrick Mahomes' deal is a joke compared to Messi's.
The total was 555 million pounds, so I believe it was 120 million a year.
672 million is the headline on this one.
USD?
USD.
Damn.
He's got that big-ass dog, too.
I see him kick the soccer ball over in the backyard.
And then you should see him take a free kick, dude.
Hey, he's worth it.
Barcelona is nothing without Messi,
and they might find out when he leaves.
Barcelona, just a little bit ago, right?
He was trying to leave, wasn't he?
Yeah, he's done with it.
This summer.
But then he's back.
Is this what Deshaun Watson's going to happen?
Yeah, they forced him.
Forced him back?
Yeah, he tried to leave.
Is this what's going to happen to Deshaun Watson, people are wondering? Because it's $50,000 forced him. Forced him back? Yeah, he tried to leave. Is this what's going to happen to Deshaun Watson?
People are wondering because it's $50,000 a day.
He'll be fine if he doesn't come back.
You know, let's not talk about who's potentially leaving.
Let's talk about who's still in it.
Ooh.
Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Buccaneers.
Hell yeah.
This game's a nightmare to try to pick.
Yeah.
Brutal.
Everything says the Chiefs should win this game.
All year, everything has said the chiefs should win this game all year everything
has said the chiefs should win the game but what the chiefs haven't done all year is cover except
for last couple games yeah because the chiefs know that the game matters it felt like all year
the chiefs whenever they had to make a play would make a play that means they wouldn't cover because
the spreads were guessing that the Chiefs would fucking slaughter teams.
And instead, the Chiefs would slaughter teams, but only when they had to slaughter teams.
If they needed a drive, a first down on fourth down, a score, they were going to get it.
It just wasn't even a question.
Just like last postseason in the playoffs when they were down 21, they're going to get it.
They were down to, they're going to get it.
That's just what the Chiefs have been.
With the Super Bowl being a must-have-it game,
you would think just like this particular postseason,
they're going to go ahead and step on the throttle and go ahead and do this thing.
The least distracting Super Bowl in the history of Super Bowls.
We all assume this team's going to go to more Super Bowls.
This is the only Super Bowl where they're allowed to practice at home.
They're staying at home. They're staying at home.
They're sleeping at home, traveling in like
it's an away game, traveling out. They've
won on the road before, and they have lost
games this year. Let's not
get that conflicted,
but more often than not,
a large, large, large, large majority
more often than not, whenever they had
to have it, they got it.
Is a Super Bowl bowl game where you got
to have you go and get many would say yes but you think about them last year it wasn't until they
needed it right wasp or whatever the hell they call it tyreek hill where patrick mahomes sprinted
backwards backpedaling 40 yards backwards and then threw it 60 yards down the field from the
line of scrimmage somehow threw it 105 yards to a wide open Tyreek
Hill that was all she wrote game change at that moment the thing about it is with Tom Brady being
on the other team he wins games that make no sense whenever he wins it makes no sense last
week he threw three interceptions like obviously it's not just Tom it's the entire team that he's
on but that is the conversation for whatever, whenever Tom Brady is on a team,
and you can say it's because he heightens everybody else's game,
he heightens everybody else's preparation,
he makes everybody in the building better,
including the equipment managers, athletic trainers,
let alone the rest of the team and the coaches who have to watch more film
because they know Tom Brady's getting after it.
For whatever reason, it seems like when Tom Brady's on a team,
that team's going to win.
And Tom Brady said yesterday, he said, you know,
it wasn't yesterday, maybe the other day,
and he was talking about not being the reason your team lost
or something like that was his line, which was a very interesting line
because it does feel like Tom Brady for his entire career,
he has won, he has made plays just like Patrick
Mahomes when he's had to make plays he has done some special things but his team will also step
up for him it feels like well the Kansas City Chiefs defense be able to make plays like they
have against a guy who seems to have been kissed by the football gods right on the mouth because
that's what he does right on the mouth throughout his entire career and been the greatest of all
time. It feels like
this game is a tough one to pick. That's why
I'm putting $30,000 on tails.
Yeah!
Let's go!
That's what I'm doing.
Live bet it, or are you just
sticking your hands to tails?
That's going to be one of those clips that gets put out by Nick, by the way.
The caption should be, wait for it.
It's tough to pick this game this weekend
because everything says you should bet on the Chiefs.
But then you think to yourself, it's Tom Brady on the other sideline.
Makes no sense.
Has Tom lost before?
Of course.
Has Tom Brady's team gotten blown out before?
They have.
But for whatever reason, it feels like something has happened.
And it has been very, very much in Tom Brady's favor in the football world,
in his life, his previous existence, whatever it is.
The guy wins.
That's all Tom Brady does.
And that's why he's the GOAT.
That's why he is a guy who will be considered the greatest professional athlete of all time
because of how professional he is, says Aqib Tlaib.
It is insane what he's been able to accomplish.
What's that, Gump?
The head official, Carl Jeffers.
Chiefs are 12-6 against the spread.
Brady is 4-8 against the spread with him reffing the game.
We have to take that into account, by the way.
Just like some people
would say that pass interference call at the end of the packers game in the nfc championship that
handed the buccaneers the win was bs and people said that that was the nfl and that particular
ref go ahead and give it tom brady a win but then when you look at it from the angle of the ref
that shirt was ripped off of his back basically by, by the guy. Had to make the call.
But a ref who is, maybe doesn't even realize,
maybe a little bit biased, you know?
Maybe doesn't even have a clue.
Maybe sees something a little bit differently.
Now, I would assume in the Super Bowl,
there's a lot more let the boys play.
But man, a pass interference call,
a roughing the passer call.
I mean, there are some things that can really,
a holding call. There are things
that can swing a game completely, and that
is a good stat to have. We're not saying anything about
that guy's intentions on any of this shit,
but what we're saying is the refs could
determine this game, and that's why I'm
betting $30,000 on tails.
I'm just going to enjoy the game,
I think. Maybe.
By the way, I might just ruin the entire
Super Bowl. You said you would forget you have put in multiple parlays
on the game in already who do i got i don't remember it's a lot of i'm hitting all the
props though i'm not picking who's gonna win now for instance rob gronkowski to score a touchdown
plus 340 go ahead and hammer that on fanville sportsbook okay gronkowski people are gonna say
he hasn't been targeted he hasn't been targeted.
He hasn't been targeted.
Just think about Tom and when he needs it, who does he go to?
It seems like Gronk tends to be that player.
He had, what, a 30-yard funnel screen or whatever down the sideline.
He's in shape.
It's another Super Bowl.
It's top 100 of all-time team tight end who makes plays in a Super Bowl.
That's a great bet. that's plus 340 there's
a couple other ones i assume tyreek hill is going to score okay i just assume so not 100 sure but
there's a lot of props in there that you can really get after the only one that i think i feel safe is
is the over even with the possible rain mahomes is going to figure it out and brady's going to
figure it out they're gonna score and there's no way both of them get shut down.
See, I think things get tight in a Super Bowl.
That's what I always think.
And it's because, you know, instead of trying to thread the needle,
it's like, all right, Super Bowl, don't turn the ball over.
Let's live to see another day.
You know what I mean?
So I always tend to believe that it will get tighter,
and I think games have shown that in recent history.
But who says that they
don't there's nothing that says that any super bowl that's happened in the past matters this
year with the team that tom brady has that offense he's never had this many weapons on offense and
patrick mahomes and that offense obviously be able to do whatever they do so the over seems like a
lock and for that reason i'm – I'll ride with you.
But it seems like the under is the bet.
Well, last year I remember the live betting the over was the move
with about seven minutes left when the Chiefs turned it on.
Oh, here we go.
Hey, they're going to start trying.
It was 20 to 10 going into the fourth quarter.
Yeah, Pat just kept live betting the Chiefs and cleaned up.
Was it plus 800?
I had a great Super Bowl last year.
I had a great Super Bowl.
I had a coin toss.
I believe I had – my wife might have had the Gatorade.
But I had like the length of the National Anthem.
Shout out Diggs did all the research there.
Coin toss.
I had a parlay, I think, for Fandula.
It cost them a lot of money, which is why we're not having a Super Boost
this weekend, by the way,
because of what happened last year.
But I cleaned up on the Super Bowl last year.
And when tails hits, no, that's probably all going right back into live bets
after you all get your bonuses from it.
Because the Super Bowl is a little more tight,
a little more feeling out in the first,
you get the Chiefs to score more second-half points
than first-half points at minus 125,
and the Bucs to score more second-half points than first-half points at minus 115. And the Bucs to score more second half points
than first half points at minus 115.
Those feel like two very good things.
Thanks for searching around FanDuel.
You're welcome.
I got under 11.5 penalties at minus 140 right now.
That feels like a pretty good bet.
That feels like a pretty good bet.
That line's going to move, huh?
Minus 140, that's probably going to move?
Well, no, for the props it's because like
with if you're picking minus three plus three minus minus 120 minus 120 is the highest but
that's that's a yes no or over under so you think that'll stay the number one somewhere around there
probably 11 and a half penalty seems like that's an under as well there yeah the um no touchback
is back on the board what is it at i had I had it up early. By the way, I think we potentially changed some things with the touchback, no touchback.
And I would like to let it be clear that there isn't normally a touchback on the opening kickoff because the ball is a brand new ball.
It's basically just plastic.
Most balls that you kick have been rubbed down for 30 minutes by your equipment manager and the other team's equipment manager in the presence of an nfl official and it's beat up a little bit you know our equipment
manager frog used to come out sweat and dripping in sweat like hey i appreciate what you do you
just helped out the uh the super bowl ball kickoff ball that ball goes immediately to the hall of
fame right after the kick so it is like not beat to hell and back by for 30 minutes by equipment manager very difficult to kick a touchback now with that being said harrison butker has the biggest leg i have ever
seen in my entire life he has a chance to potentially do it but now you have to weigh
tails who's calling what who's going to get the ball uh opening kickoff to be a touchback yes
minus 310 no plus 230 it's great no great odds no is on a
17 and 2 run yeah also with the ball don't you think besides the ball that it's the super bowl
the return is a little more juiced up a little more willing to maybe take a chance to come out
especially mickens by the way which who just had a massive game against the packers for the
buccaneers so maybe bucker does put it 6-7-8 deep even,
which is a monster ball.
I cannot.
That would be a big ball with that ball happening.
Mickens might bring it out.
Now, granted, ball to 25.
Let's not fuck a field position either.
Let's go ahead and let Tom and the offense do their thing.
Could potentially be a pitching point in the meeting before the game.
So there's just so much you can't think about.
My big thing is the ball is very difficult to kick i don't think pinion hits touchback i think buckner potentially
does but plus 230 is worth a bet especially since they're playing with a brand new ball that's kind
of odds if it's humid and it might be sprinkling a little bit does that give it a less of a chance
to make it in the end brand new ball i don't think it matters because it's kind of like just now i used to like rain
yeah i used to love rain humidity as well uh i used to love when the ball got heavier people who
have a stronger leg like when the ball gets heavier because if you can move it it's going to
go science wise it's going to continue to go because it's heavier but if you don't have as
strong of a leg which are not it's there's nothing wrong with. There's a lot of people that are just incredibly accurate or whatever.
They don't necessarily love the heavier ball because they can't indent it as far.
But boy, I used to love a nice rainy day.
Warm, rainy day.
No wind.
Oh, balls flying.
Let's hope I can catch it.
Balls flying, though, whenever you get there.
Warm-ups are always a good time in that particular case.
Let's get to Greg in Texas.
Greg, what's going on, bub?
Hey, not much.
How are y'all doing today?
Hey, not too shabby.
Greg is probably going to be the last call of the hour.
We're pumped to talk to you.
Are you down there in Dallas with Panini?
No, I'm in White House, man.
I'm a homes country.
Oh.
What do you want to talk about, pal?
Do you have his haircut?
No, I didn't get the haircut
But I go to the same place that started the haircut
The barbershop
The haircut place
Adam Schefter
What do you want to talk about, brother?
Hey, look, man
I'm just going to speak on behalf of the YouTube fans
That we're going to have to back
Ariel Helani's face back from the camera
He is killing me. I just got this
brand new big ass TV.
Turned on the show. This motherfucker
comes on, knocks me smooth out of my goddamn
recliner. I fucking
spilled my sweet tea while I was
yelling in the background, what the fuck's going on?
I said, this goddamn rhinoceros just
pulled me out of my fucking chair.
That was very rude, okay?
That was very rude what you just said about Ariel Helwani.
He was calling the Pacers-Bucks game in which the Bucks blew out the Pacers
last night 1-by-20 in a very boring game.
He had his mask on very tight around his face for the entirety of it,
and it did feel like they had a GoPro on his nose.
He was very close.
He did a great job, though.
Oh, he did.
Great job.
Okay, Heelwani.
He wasn't Heelwani, by the way.
Oh, he was just Mickey Mouse Heelwani?
It would have been awesome.
I mean, he told a good story on there.
He had a lot of journalism integrity out there and the whole thing,
and I'm sure it was great.
But if he starts cutting a promo on how that game stinks,
oh, man, what a moment.
Maybe even because he was up in a – it felt like he was potentially in a box all by himself. but if he starts cutting a promo on about how that game stinks oh man what a moment maybe even
because he was up in a it felt like he was potentially in a box all by himself imagine
he goes and just snaps off that snaps off the mask for a second has another mask on snaps that one off
and then just cuts a promo about how the game what if he cuts off that top mask there's another mask
on keeps that one on talks about how the game stinks that's a moment there now he probably
never get to do it again but i thought he was pretty good on there,
but he was very close to the camera.
I agree.
He probably set that up himself, if I had to guess.
Did you watch the game, Ty?
No, I didn't.
I didn't.
Why not?
Because the NBA stinks.
And I'll watch it towards the end, you know, when it starts getting competitive, when we
get to playoffs.
I could get rat's ass.
You don't even get it, dude.
You don't even get it.
I must not get it, because it's a fucking bore to get to playoffs. I could get rat's ass on right now. You don't even get it, dude. You don't even get it. I must not get it
because it's
a fucking bore to watch to me.
Hey, I'll tell you what. That Bucks-Pacers game?
Pretty good. The epitome of
terrible watch.
The games are too long and we've said
it how many times. You know what's going to happen.
This team's going to get out big.
This team's going to make a little bit run.
Another team's going to get out ahead big. Then there's going to be another tight little run and one team's going to get out big. This team's going to make a little bit run. And then once another team's going to get out ahead big. And then
there's going to be another tight little run
and one team's going to win by 12 points.
Game of runs! Well, last night the Bucs won by
20 and it probably should have been 40. So, that
kind of debunks your little bit of theory there. But
that also happens. And that's why a lot of people don't watch
the playoffs. It's great. I mean, he was
in it last night. I mean, look at that guy.
Great journalism, Ariel. We're
proud of you.
Joining us now, two-time champion,
I believe, ladies and gentlemen, A.J. Hawk.
What's up, bud?
Did you win a high school state championship?
I did not, but I'm wondering
that current card, was that invented by
Billy McFarlane?
Dude. Don't say it.
Elon Musk, actually.
No, I don't know that.
But it is someone similar to Elon Musk, not Billy McFarlane.
Do you know who Billy McFarlane is?
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Come on.
I work on the internet, dude.
I work on the fucking internet.
It's not fraud.
It's not fraud.
Magnesis.
Magnesis was the card.
Yeah.
Magnesis.
And I think they had a right idea, by the way, at the beginning,
and then he obviously got greedy and took it the wrong way.
You know what I mean?
They did.
The booking of Axe was a good idea,
and then moving it to what it became.
It was the shady part.
Yeah, by the way, he had loyal people around him, though.
Loyal people.
Do anything for water.
Oh, come on.
What?
That is a very loyal person.
Yeah.
Oh, you're the grandstander now?
Hold on.
Did you hear what he called LeBron James in the first hour?
I let the lid off.
I put the lid back on.
I apologize.
Have you watched any of today's show?
Do you have the vibe of today's show at all yet? i just saw a few little clips i haven't seen much this may have been our worst
show yet come on this has maybe been the worst show yet great conversation with justin herbert
yeah oh yeah jk dobbins was fantastic work done would be great that's coming in about 20 minutes
you know work done at all uh i do not know him, but I actually texted me on Surrey.
I had a hamster named Warwick when I was growing up.
Tough son of a bitch.
Carl's best friend.
He was.
Nice.
It was after Warwick Dunn because I was a Florida State fan.
I named, like, I had Warwick.
I had Dion.
I had multiple Florida State players.
Well, listen, I understand being a fan of that team or whatever,
but you're in Ohio.
And the home of Ohio State, the Ohio State.
And you're a fan of Florida State?
Were you even allowed out in the streets at school whenever you were in Ohio
if you're not an Ohio State fan?
Yeah, I was okay.
I mean, the number one reason I was a Florida State fan
was that my dad, one of his best friends,
this guy named Rex Caswell, used to buy us starter coats,
like Florida State starter coats every year,
so naturally I was a Florida State fan growing up.
Funny you say that because I got a Penguins one,
and I'll tell you what, I felt like I was a member of the team.
You know what I mean?
I was out on the streets fucking triple deacon over there.
And by the way, hockey time. And by the way, Hockey Town.
Your shirt looks good.
Hockey Town.
Hockey Town.
By the way, this shirt is available.
Red Wings played well yesterday.
If you would like to commemorate the burial of Hockey Town,
which died long, long ago, but it officially did get buried,
and welcome in the new, the real Hockey Time.
You can buy the shirt if you would like.
Ain't that right, Nick?
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Look at that.
Look at that beautiful just diamond triangle, gold glistening off the light in the studio.
Off-brand Hockey Town is what you're saying.
Whoa, whoa.
You guys lost 10-1 yesterday.
It doesn't matter. We're not going to make the playoffs. You guys lost 10-1 yesterday. It doesn't matter.
We're not going to make the playoffs.
You guys lost 35-1.
And you guys, the Penguins,
are going to be sitting there right next to us
not making the playoffs either,
so it's not going to matter.
And then guess what?
Sidney Crosby, out of town.
And then you guys are going to be the worst team in the NHL.
And then the Red Wings with Stevie Iseman as their GM,
right back to the top.
Listen, the future is not certain, okay?
For anybody.
Nothing is.
All right.
And there has been some dreary days in hockey time as of late.
Well, we will correct the ship.
Sidney Crosby, greatest player of all time, is on the team.
We'll keep it moving.
But anyways, man, I was going to ask you something.
There was a –
Yeah, his hamsters worked on him.
No, no.
At the very beginning of this whole thing.
J.K. Dobbins?
No.
Huh.
Anyways, it's been a rough show.
That's the type of show it's been right there, AJ.
That's the way it's going.
Have you thought any further about the Super Bowl this weekend
on who you're going to bet and who you pick?
Everybody's saying good money's the Chiefs, you know,
and I feel like we have this conversation on a regular basis on this show
because we are gambling people and we do have a game coming up.
Other people go to other conversations.
This is fascinating to me.
I have no idea who's going to win this game, AJ.
I mean, yeah, none of us really do.
I just still can't find a way to pick against the Chiefs.
Yeah, you can talk yourself into what the Bucs can do, but, man,
and I do like what the Bucs defense, like what they can do,
and it's going to be scary because, what, aren't both of their tackles
backups for Kansas City going into this game?
Ah, yeah, and then you got Pierre Paul, obviously, Shaq Barrett,
and Dominick and Sue, Vida Vea's back, the whole, I mean, they got a,
you know, like that's a real recipe there.
And Tom Brady's on the team.
It's very tough.
Obviously, Kansas City will try to slow their pass rush down
with some weird cool screens, probably one or two screens
we haven't really seen set up like they do with Andy Reid and Bien-Ami.
They'll have plenty of stuff.
But when you have a guy like Pierre Paul,
I'd be scared throwing a screen to his side
because you know how long that dude is.
Like how do you ever get it out of his wingspan that dude if he is on his feet he has
a chance to pick those little screens off he does which is even more impressive by the way with
everything everybody was thinking there uh-huh with their terrible toxic minds yeah it's a great
comeback story what do you mean he's unbelievable at football too I mean absolutely unbelievable
football and as we have talked about on this show he helped us out I mean we stopped throwing bombs
into ponds you know what I mean yeah that is something that I stopped doing because of Jason
Pierre Paul but then you think about Tom Brady being on the team and the thought though of the
the Chiefs running screens to slow down the defensive defensive line like I just think
that's that's one of their problems they're going to have to deal with
with this Tampa Bay Buccaneer team.
The other one is just like the aura,
just like the thing that whenever Tom Brady walks into a place,
it feels like maybe the air changes.
You know what I mean?
Everybody's just like, oh, this is different.
This guy's going to win probably.
That's real, it feels like, at this point. And it's something the guy just wins, it is different. This guy's going to win probably. That's real, it feels like, at this point.
And it's something – the guy just wins, it seems like.
Now, he has lost, and he has lost Super Bowl.
But it just feels like there's no way he can bet against Tom,
and this is what everybody's saying, but I truly believe it.
That's why I'm betting $30,000 on tails.
Yeah!
Hell yeah!
Don't you think, though, that Tom Brady, yes, he absolutely has that.
Like, wherever he goes, he has this – there's something about him.
And I know it's like that when he's on the field.
But if there's one team on the whole NFL that is not going to have that feeling,
it's the Kansas City Chiefs when they have Pat Mahomes.
And they're like, yeah, they got Tom Brady.
But you know what?
If they put up 100 on us, I know Pat's going to get 101.
I know they got that, like, muscle car from back in the day,
but we got this electric ride that is quicker, faster, more efficient,
and has more toys, okay?
So we ain't worried about a goddamn thing here.
That is the Chiefs' mindset, by the way.
They know nobody can stop them if they're playing well.
That's why I think in this season they kind of got bored a little bit, you know?
Maybe whenever there's – i don't know how you
would turn it like what does that mean turn on they run better routes like what do you think
that means exactly because it does feel like they are just able to turn it on what do i mean whenever
i say that i wonder because everything just seems to start working why is everything working what is
it more effort is it attention to detail what do think it is? I think it's the attention to detail.
Yeah, like, hey, you're supposed to run this route at 12, not 12 and a half, not 11 and a half.
Like, you start running things right at 12.
Like, it's a whole coach's thing. Oh, get back to the basics.
But also, I think there's just something innate in a guy like Pat Mahomes, the rest of that team.
Like, oh, okay, hey, we're done messing around.
Like, mentally, we're going to go do this. Let's go do it.
Yeah. Oh, all right. So it's,'s you know you get a little bit more athletic stance you think to yourself like okay
no matter what this ball is hitting that table last like that is that is definitely what's
happening yeah you can't explain it but you know it's there you know it exists yeah it's not very
fun being on the other end of it i lost a to a guy last night. What? Bad. Ming again?
No, it wasn't Ming 99. Death to Ming.
Ming 99, by the way, lost to me.
It was Shinsuke.
Sunsai.
Sunsai.
Son of Shin.
I got my ass beat by.
But I would like to see them now, first of all.
Person.
I don't know if we'll ever get to connect again in the lobby.
I played a game last night, Echo
VR. Got car sick.
Okay, you're floating around in space, basically.
I couldn't even get past the training.
So I haven't even got to the game, which I've heard is awesome.
I couldn't even get past the training because I almost puked
in my room. So then I
was like, alright, well, I'm probably not going to be able to do it.
I'm going to go box.
Okay? So I get into a
fucking battle all of a sudden
because I threw 617 punches the night before.
I actually thought of that after round one.
I was like, how many champions are fighting back-to-back nights?
You know what I mean?
So I actually thought of that.
But, boy, the punches were not going as fast,
and they were not coming as smoothly.
I mean, it was very painful.
I end up winning, okay, another four-round
battle. Wow. Threw another 470
or 500 punches. Today, I feel
terrible. Couldn't wipe my ass this morning.
Okay? But immediately following that, I was like,
well, I got to continue Sharpening X because I know Carl
1211 is going to be
Sharpening X. I know Foxy is
going to be doing it. Yep. Gumpy. Gumpy
just got his Oculus yesterday. He's been in there
the whole time. So if I would like to remain,
you know, this is a sport. If I would
like to remain, I have to get my reps
in. I got to shoot my hundred shots a night. Like I have to
go. This is something I'm going to have to do.
I got in there. As soon as I got in there,
I got a request from somebody.
They had like 50, maybe 60 wins.
I forget exactly. It didn't seem like a lot of wins
and I was like, yeah, here we go. I'll get in here.
I thought it was going to be a warm-up match. I got my ass beat. I mean, it was the first lot of wins, and I was like, yeah, here we go. I'll get in here. I thought it was going to be a warm-up match.
I got my ass beat.
I mean, it was the first serve from the person.
I was like, well, we're in for one here.
I got my ass beat, and I couldn't forfeit the game.
You know, that looks very bad.
He beat me, though.
Beat the shit out of me.
Warmed up a little bit.
Tried.
Played against a guy I play a little bit.
His name's Eddie, not from Hoboken.
Eddie Price? No, I forget. He's a hilarious guy I play a little bit. His name's Eddie. Not from Hoboken. Eddie Price?
No, I forget.
He's a hilarious dude, though.
Good player.
So he and I have played on numerous occasions.
He starts talking to himself.
Come on, Eddie.
He is.
He is an electric.
An electric.
He beat me last night as well.
I had an off night last night in the ping pong.
And I'm hoping, you know, I'm hoping.
I beat Eddie as well.
It's not.
Okay. Of course. It's not as well. It's not, okay.
Of course. So it's not just completely.
It's not completely lost.
But I am a little bit bummed and worried that it's gone forever, Carl.
Have you been back in there?
I have not been back on there.
Oh, so you still stink.
Uh-oh.
What?
You still stink.
Okay.
I still beat you in a game.
Whoa!
What?
I'll be back.
People tell me I need to play Foxy.
That's what people have been telling me online.
Yeah, Foxy's good.
Foxy's a good player.
Yeah, on Sunday when we played, I had scored eight points against Pat, and I really hope
no one else beat that, and I think you scored nine against him, and I was not very happy
about that.
Hey, you guys be a good game.
That's a good game.
You should do that.
It's a good game.
You guys should play that game.
Maybe get Eddie in there, by the way.
Eddie would play good. Eddie would be a good game against you. Eddie would beat game. Maybe get Eddie in there, by the way. Eddie would play good.
Eddie would be a good game against you. Eddie would
beat the shit out of both of you guys, I think.
Eddie's in there all the time. I get in there,
Eddie's in there. If he's screaming at himself,
I wouldn't bet against him. He's sweating too.
He has great comedic chops too.
He'll do his hands
and then he'll do a full...
Wow. But I think it's
genuine. It's not even him playing.
I would assume this dude is a hilarious individual to be around on a regular basis.
Yesterday, I hit an edge or something, and you saw him go both hands up.
And then he goes, can't be having that.
And he was very, very funny.
Very, very comedic.
I enjoy the conversations with some
people sometimes i just want to get in there and fucking like just play some i just want to go to
work here i don't want to hear you know how nice of a person you are because you probably are i
appreciate that so much so i try to get in there quick and like mute their thing but if i hear them
at all and they've already said my name i'm like all right here we go here we go full conversation
but maybe i'll see you another eddie out there you know maybe there'll be another incredible person
can you wait so everyone you're playing though that requests to play you they know you right conversation, but maybe I'll see another Eddie out there. Maybe there'll be another incredible person.
Everyone you're playing, though, that requests to play you,
they know you, right? Your name is Pat McAfee Show? Yeah, pretty much everybody in there
is our people
it feels like at this point.
Yeah, it's tough to mute them, isn't it?
Yeah, I feel bad. I should change
my name, huh? Can I do that? Can I change it nightly?
Get a burner.
Get a burner Oculus. burner oculus oh yeah oculus
imagine me just talking imagine me just going in there and being just a full-on fucking
oh you're fucking terrible huh and if you have one of those voice changers too
oh yeah be sweet see but then you're not building your world rank i'd like to see that thing in the
top 10 at some point yeah what am i 2000 i'm gonna have to keep working boys i'm gonna tell you i can't be playing echo
vr or boxing beforehand either things are happening to me man at this point dumpy how
were you did you play last night i was in there for two and a half hours oh wow sharpening the
song for carl about five times hadn't been active in two days, it said. Yikes. How, that's a shame, by the way,
because it does keep tabs on your friends.
Yeah.
AQ hasn't been in there in a while, it feels like.
Well.
Super Bowl.
Yeah.
He's got some stuff going on.
Where have you been?
What the fuck, dude?
Hey, this is what it's like.
That's what it's like, by the way,
whenever you're in the NFL
and you go back to your hometown in the offseason when everybody else has jobs, you know? Yeah. Come on what it's like. That's what it's like, by the way, whenever you're in the NFL and you go back to your hometown in the offseason
when everybody else has jobs, you know?
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
AQ, you want to play some ping pong?
Shut the fuck up, all right?
Trying to win a Super Bowl, all right?
Never won one.
Trying to have a ring on my finger forever as a coach.
Oh, it's on me.
Carl, you need to get in there.
Gumpy, you good?
Did you get a headache last night?
Two and a half hours in there?
No, no, not at all.
I'm ready, man.
I got that serve going.
Yeah, yeah.
His brain, yeah.
You're 120 feet in the air painting ships, pal.
That doesn't matter anymore.
12 stories up there.
Just hanging.
What were you painting?
Painting ships.
He was a ship painter.
He called us from the shipyard.
He was, whenever we were first on radio,
he was a caller that we were first on radio, he was a caller, uh,
that we all befriended basically.
And then now,
by the way,
like dude's potentially going to be a citizen rather soon here.
I mean,
like there's like real things like had to write a letter and we had a lawyer
involved.
Paul,
there's got,
there's,
I believe there's some politicians involved at this point.
There's a whole process to getting something.
I think he's on the process of becoming a...
That comes from painting ships in a shipyard.
Now he's part of the show.
Incredibly proud to be a part of the Gumpy story.
And I'm lucky that we found one of the most electric humans of all time
out of a small, no-name fucking town shipyard.
It is awesome.
It is incredible.
And I can't wait to get back to
that shipyard someday ain't that right gumpy when pat called to offer me the job he facetimed me i
had a full face respirator on and a needle gun and he goes i can't fucking hear you and he hung up
and then i he didn't answer my face time i didn't hear from him for two days i thought i lost the
fucking job it was it was it was, it's been an incredible run here.
It's been incredible run.
But when I got to see him in the bottom of the ship,
because not only, by the way, do you paint the outside?
You got to paint the bottom too.
Whenever I saw him down walking around the bottom with his glasses and this
big thing on, and he got people in the back, you know,
that are probably just absolutely probably happy, I guess.
I don't know, but seem to be a very difficult job.
I was like, got to get Gumpy to America.
Got to get him out of that ship.
Got to get you out of the ship, Gumpy.
Happy you are.
Sounds like your brain cells got left behind, though.
I'm not here to argue that.
He's the greatest soccer better on Earth right now.
The greatest.
I think sportsbooks are actually listening to his picks for soccer and changing odds. He's one of the sharps right now. The greatest. I think sportsbooks are actually listening to his picks for soccer
and changing odds.
He's one of the sharps right now.
I have to.
I believe it.
Hey, Gump, the good thing is, though,
there's no way Canada is going to ship you back there.
They wouldn't even take you if you wanted to go.
No, it's beautiful.
I don't want to go back.
I'll tell you what.
His town, though, is beautiful over there.
Oh, yeah.
Gorgeous.
Nicest town in Canada, really.
It is beautiful.
You were actually going to come visit.
Then you got offered to do the Packers-Lions game.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot we were going to go over there.
Oh, and then Prater threw a touchdown.
Yep.
Never offered another NFL job again.
Best Lions game of all time, in my eyes.
No cooth in the booth.aron got hurt second play of the
game yeah that was a blowout that was cold that was tough i had a great time it was a shining
gem on the patricia Blew them out.
What was it, 31?
31-0, yep.
Wow.
What did you talk about that whole game?
What did you do?
You know.
I mean, you know me pretty well at this point.
There was anything and everything that potentially made an appearance on the screen
was potentially talked about, you know?
It was...
Everybody saw the Prater call, obviously.
Yeah.
I feel like there were some other moments in there where, know maybe not enough credit but then there's some moments where
it's like hope nobody really watched someone didn't someone own a dunkin donuts oh yeah
ricky jean francois yeah there's like a six minute highlight tape of that whole game
he owns 30 some dunkin donuts and then we went into a full
conversation about my order at dunkin donuts well after he made a tackle and then we move on
i'm gonna watch that i'm gonna watch that from start to finish because i know you were with
robert smith i would yeah the prater call is fun but i want to see the little things that you throw
in that neither of them got or understood and you just like all right and you just kept throwing things at him you know there's a lot of things i do in this world where i have to
have a firm belief that although the room is not reacting i know somebody is you know and that has
happened in my sports media uh time here and for that a lot of that game i thought to myself
i feel like a lot of people are going to enjoy a lot of things I'm saying,
except for the people, by the way, that are maybe not particular fans of mine.
Like executives, for instance.
I'm so sorry to interrupt, but I want to let you know that this particular part of the show is brought to you once again by Burrow.
If you haven't heard of them by now, you must not have been listening.
They're the furniture company built from the ground up to get rid of everything that annoys you about furniture shopping.
I like the sound of that.
Well, back when Burrow started sponsoring the show, they sold a single modular sofa system.
But since then, they've grown to take care of your entire living room.
I remember back when Burrow started.
We read some ads for Burrow back in the days before we were on serious every day it was before
we were fully committed to youtube it was back whenever we were just a content creation company
and burrow was a single modular sofa system seller yeah they sent it to us it had the uh the usbs in
the uh cushions that was the the big selling point easy to put together very comfortable
i mean i remember that it is no coincidence that they've had massive success.
Absolutely.
They have a new range collection.
Burrow launched their second modular system back in November.
It's super comfortable with wider seats and deeper cushions than their Nomad collection,
but features the same durable materials and simple assemblies.
That's what we're talking about.
Credenzas.
They have two new credenzas.
I need one those that are
perfect for your tv station with adjustable height interior shelves cord organizing holes
at each corner and customizable designs whenever we talked about the usb thing in there and easy
put together they're trying to make furniture shopping not only comfortable and easy but also
innovative like how do we make things better how do we make life easier for people shout out to burrow for doing that they also have coffee and side tables they have fast
free shipping on every single order as always every order from burrow no matter how small or
large includes fast free shipping which can save you an average of a hundred dollars on bigger

they're successful and i'm thankful that they're successful

here we go shout out to burrow shout out to you let's go ahead and do this thing if you're looking
for new furniture shout out burrow let's get back to the show a man who's made a lot of incredible
decisions to help a lot of people in this world an incredible
football player an incredibly philanthropic man uh on behalf of nationwide which is the official
sponsor of walter payton man of the year award which is the greatest award you could win in the
nfl because it means you're the greatest person in the NFL that season. Ladies and gentlemen, Warwick Dunn.
Hey, Warwick.
That a boy, Warwick.
What's up, man? What's up? What's up, fellas?
Hey, what are you doing with Nationwide today?
Well, today is a partnership with Nationwide,
really promoting and talking about the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.
They've done a great job of really promoting what guys do in the community, the impact that all the guys in the National Football League have who've been nominated.
You know, they've invested a million three into the community, which is vital to improving the different communities.
But also just being nominated, you know, you have opportunity to raise money for your organization.
They get $40,000 being nominated, but the winner gets $250,000.
And I'm kind of jealous that they get that much money to win or even to be nominated. It's a lot
different than when I was coming through, but we have a partnership that is really focused on
highlighting the great work the guys are doing in the community and not just focus on the game of
football. So nationwide, they have my love and support and it's uh it's a really good partnership with nfl yeah the
nfl has grown in every fashion basically since you played and since you won the wall to play
man of the year it's nice to know that the money being donated to the winner has also gone up
hopefully that'll continue to grow as the years continue i know this award is one that's gaining
a lot more steam when it comes to the media you You know, I think back in the day it wasn't talked about as much.
Now it's always one of those things where, as it should be, it's like, hey, this is an incredible honor to be voted by your team that you're the guy who has been in the community the most.
You winning that, I think, is a staple of the work done conversation and legacy, especially now that Deshaun Watson is a Houston Texan and grew up in a house that you donated to him. Now, how did that happen? How did you become such a philanthropical person? And were you always
that way? How did it all kind of come to be? Because not everybody, by the way, a lot of people
make a lot of money doing things. Not everybody's just giving away houses to a bunch of people.
Was that the plan all along? Well, no, honestly, I lost my mind when I was 18, so I had no idea what I was going to do,
that I was going to invest in the community, that I had no idea.
So, you know, for me, I was driven because of what I went through as a kid.
And, you know, I owe a lot to Coach Tony Dungy that my rookie year,
he challenged the rookies about being a part of the community
and giving back and being involved.
And I wanted to figure out ways that I can give back and impact the community.
And I thought about my mom and her dream of homeownership.
So we started this program, my rookie year called Home Sweet Holidays, and we helped
three single parent moms that first year.
helped three single parent moms you know that first year and i had still had no idea about the impact but when i went home later that night i realized wow that was life-changing yeah i want
to do it again and again and again and you know this really also comes from the city of baton
rouge you know my mom was a baton rouge city police officer that was gunned down in the line of duty. And the city of Baton Rouge, the citizens there supported my family. They
started a fund, people donated, they started a fund for us. And that's how we were able to pay
bills all those years. And they taught me what it means to care about your neighbor. You know,
they wrap their arms around us and really was there for us in our time of need.
And, you know, that taught me that people do care.
You can care about your neighbor and, you know, care about people that you don't know.
So I just think that was, you know, really layered on top of that to move forward and help individuals that are trying to help themselves.
So I think that's probably what made me more philanthropic. And the more that I have
done it, I could tell you I've learned a lot, you know, what individuals go through. I come from
a similar situation, but it also makes me want to do more because if people have the opportunity
to change their lives for the better and not just the parents, but most importantly, it's about the kids.
It's really about changing their lives and giving them a foundation that they can grow up
and become really good individuals and great citizens in their communities.
So that's what it's about for me.
Or going back to your days at Florida State.
Run for president.
You should run for president.
Sorry, I'm so sorry.
You absolutely should and could run for president.
But going back to Florida State, when you were there with a ton of great players,
I actually grew up a Florida State fan.
I meant Pat was going to tell you.
This is the ultimate compliment I mean towards you,
but I had a hamster named Warwick growing up because I was a fan of you.
I love that.
He's getting a chance to tell his namesake.
I'm finally getting to tell you.
So what's weird is I was – man, one of your – maybe your second to last year,
I think I played against you.
And I remember talking to my dad.
I'm like, should I tell him?
Should I tell him?
And I thought about it and I never got the opportunity.
So I just wanted to let you know right now.
Always been a big fan.
But going back to Florida State, what was Bobby Bowden like, man?
What kind of impact did he have on you?
Well, you know, Bobby, for me, he was the perfect individual at the perfect time of my life.
Right. And I never went to Florida State if he didn't make a deal with me.
So people were recruiting me to play defensive back.
And that's not what I wanted to play.
I wanted to play running back.
So Coach Bowden made a deal.
I said, Coach, I will come.
You give me opportunity to play running back. If it Bob made a deal. I said, Coach, I will come. You give me opportunity to play running back.
If it doesn't work out, I'll move the defensive back. And he said, deal.
And once when I got there, you could see what type of leader he was. He you know, what we did as a team, he would take guys to, you know, a Baptist church, all black church.
Then we went to a Catholic church. His message was,
no matter our backgrounds or where we're from, we have to play together. We have to trust each
other. We can't win without each other. We can't do it alone. And that taught me it was more about
togetherness, a family. And he was someone that I could always go and talk to about my life,
the different issues I had going on, trying to raise my brothers and sisters from Tallahassee.
And he was someone that I went to his office every week, sit down and we would just have
conversations. So he was someone that I just really grew to trust and be fond of. And the
respect that he had for his
players,
how he challenged us to be the best that we can be and not just ordinary
individuals.
So he was someone that always will always have my respect.
We'll always have my respect period.
We have to get you out of here.
We can't take you enough for your time.
Quick,
quick followup there.
Quick followup to that question.
All of these services
you went to catholic service the one you were like this one doesn't make any sense or was it
which one do you think was the one if you had to judge all the different services
well let me just tell you this i went to i came from a catholic private school all boys
predominantly white so i was used to the catholic system i grew up in the baptist system so you know
you have to learn to adjust those are 10 hour services aren't i mean aren't those things 10
hours i mean it's stand-ups it my dad went to a catholic school and i've been to a couple catholic
like weddings or whatever and it's like all right strap it up today boys we're gonna be in for one
you know what i mean it is different to be honest it is different but i'm thankful i'm thankful but
i wouldn't be here today without nationwide and the opportunity they've given me to talk to you guys.
So Nationwide is on your side.
We appreciate you.
Ladies and gentlemen, work done.
