Okay, let's go. It's part of my take.
There's an about our support.
Welcome to pardon my take today is Wednesday September 27th and
People are mad about Jalen Hertz and the Tush push mad about that Tush push very upset. They want it banned
The haters want to band listen as as a's fan has to play the Eagles twice every year. I get
pushed pushed a lot. I love the push. I do. I really do. I think if you
don't like it then stop it. Figure out a way to stop it until then if you
don't like it, you can either try to figure out how to make teams stop
doing it to you or do it yourself. But turns out you don't have a
quarterback to can squat a semi truck. Right. And you have the best offense line and football,
so it's harder.
And by the way, Eagles dominated the box.
That was kind of a comeback to reality
for the box game that you saw.
Like, hey, the Eagles, yeah, they are one of the best teams
in the league.
They went down, they took care of business.
I completely agree with you, PFT.
The Tosh push does not bother me in the slightest.
You know what a good way to not have the Tosh push
in your face. Don't let the Eagles get to the one-yard line. You know what a good way to not have the touch push in your face?
Don't let the Eagles get to the one-yard line.
You can stop them on the first two downs.
Also, if you watch it, I really think that if they ban
this play, I think the Eagles will still do it
and it will go from like 99% success to like 97%.
What are you gonna legislate into it?
You're gonna say, you can't push your quarterback from behind.
Okay, well, Jill and Hertz will still run
a quarterback sneak and be awesome at it. You're going to say, uh, you can't push your quarterback from behind. Okay. Well, Jalen Hertz will still run a quarterback sneak and be awesome at it. Right. Like they
don't even in that, that, that touchdown play, he wasn't pushed. Yeah. They push him for
maybe a second effort, but again, 90% of the time he's getting those yards himself, get
a Jalen Hertz, get an offensive line, or I actually think that defenses should start throwing
players over the line.
Yeah, so holding it holding them by their legs and their arms and just as a snap count goes,
you just basically toss a player at jail and hurt.
We talked about doing that with Darren Sprouls like throwing your running back over the line
of scrimmage.
So that could work.
I actually have a way that I think might work.
Maybe I'm stupid.
I got a couple ways.
Maybe I'm an idiot.
So the only way I can see the defense being able
to really counter it's kind of like in soccer
when you have a penalty shot and the goalie has to like guess
which side it's going to.
You generally know what gap Jalen Hertz is trying to get to.
It's usually just right over the guard on the left side,
maybe in between the guard and the tackle,
they're big boys, they can just submarine you and take you out.
Have a normal defense of line
and then have like three linebackers stacked up in an eye.
And then as the ball is hiked,
all three of your guys, one right after the other,
hits the same hole.
You guess the hole that he's going to go to,
you got three guys going through the hole at the same time.
I think that has as good a shot as any is working.
I like that.
The other one, maybe a little more outside the box. You should just get your biggest guys
Same same philosophy figure out which holder gonna go to and have them lay on top of each other
Four defensive lineman laying on top of each other and then have all the linebackers push that
Back into the Eagles just push a mound of mound
Just push a stack of dudes back at the Eagles.
I've been saying they should do that hockey with like 30 seconds left. Get all your players
laying on top of each other in the mouth of the goal. You can't score. There's probably
a rule against that. Yeah, there's not really there are no real other good ways to counteract
it. It's Troy Pallemolle or Levar. Yeah, jump over the line of scrimmage and time to snap
perfectly. Oh, maybe do the the Bella check. Maybe have a gunner? Yeah, you jump over the line of scrimmage and time the snap perfectly.
Oh, maybe do the Bella check,
maybe have a gunner coming from the side
trying to time it right, and then run directly at him.
But yeah, people are talking about it being a rugby scrum.
First of all, I'd like to clarify, it's not a scrum.
It might look like a scrum, it's a mall.
It's rugby mall, that's when one guy gets the ball,
everybody kind of binds onto him and pushes that guy through.
It's a mall and the the Eagles apparently brought in a Scottish rugby player to try to figure out a way to stop it like get one step ahead of it.
See what offenses could do. Was it the Eagles that did that Max?
Some team did that to try to figure out how to stop the push push.
Yeah, I don't know. I don't think it was the Eagles.
Yeah. So some team brought in a Scottish guy and he was like, you can't stop it.
It's organized mass. Right. And as long as their mass is more organized, which they will be
because they know the snap count, they know the play, then there's no way to stop it for zero yards.
I think, you know what, it was the Eagles. Kelsey said that on his podcast with this little co-host.
Yeah. Yeah. I really do think, though, this is just how the NFL works. There's innovation.
Then there's a counter action to it.
Like someone will try to be able to figure out how to stop it.
It, the people who are like, this is bullshit.
This isn't football.
First of all, I think it is football getting one yard.
Yeah.
Man football is football.
And I'm not too worried about it because you see,
okay, the Eagles played on Monday night football.
They're, they're push pushing all over the place.
Do you know what the best offense right now in football is?
It's a team that plays with everyone out wide in the Miami Dolphins.
So there's, there's two ways to skin a cat.
Yeah.
I think the way the NFL works is people find innovation.
They find a play that works.
They're going to, they're going to spam it till it doesn't work. And I don't think we should be changing rules against it.
I would love to see that match up though.
The dolphins against the Eagles.
Two distinct styles of offense.
It's common.
It's common.
You think it's super nice?
I think it's in like three weeks actually.
Yeah, it's going to be awesome.
Sunday, October 22nd, Sunday night football.
I can't wait to see that.
I wish the Eagles would just, yeah, it would be great if the dolphins just played with no
downlining and the Eagles only Tush pushed.
Yeah, they could, they could do it.
They could go the length of the field where it gets interesting too is on third down for
the Eagles.
Yeah, because they know if it's third and sixth, they have to get four yards and then they'll
run the Tush push.
So they can run the ball when it's third and sixth, third and five.
Most teams are passing that situation.
It makes everything different.
And Max, like, I think it's a fun play to watch. I know you like it. It's like, it's man football, organized
mass. It's just cool. It's a cool play. Let him do it.
So not new. Tom Brady's was when Tom Brady would do that play. It was like a hundred percent
success. Yeah. That was my point about Justin Herbert in the Brandon Staley fourth down
call. Just do that play. Yeah. Like it will work for everyone. Uh, maybe not kind of
Murray, but everyone, no, actually,
probably works. He's so small. Maybe the defense gets like a really tiny guy
that runs underneath people's legs. Yeah. And right into,
run to jail and hurts me. So max, how we feeling about the Eagles overall?
Uh, yeah, I mean, that was a boring game. That was just a take care of business
game. Red zone looked bad, but.
Hurts still doesn't look exactly like I want Hertz to look,
but the run game is amazing.
The defense is amazing.
And Jail and Carter is an absolute beast.
Jail and Carter is so good.
It's very good.
It's so fucked up that the Eagles got Jail and Carter.
And on draft night, well, it was the most, yeah, it is.
People are starting to, yeah, blame the Bears for that.
I mean, I said that after we would be,
I said that we'd not be playing right now
for the Bears, they're so dysfunctional.
It would be worse than what it is now.
Yeah, because he probably wouldn't be on the roster.
He probably would have quit football.
He'd been like, I'm not around here.
I played in Georgia, this isn't a real football team.
It's just disgusting that the Eagles got their mitts on them.
Everybody knew it was gonna happen
and then what happened, we're like, how did this happen?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, we knew the plan was always for them to get quarter
Yeah, it's not fair. It's best. I know people are doing the the
retroactive draft takes I saw the one today that
the lions letting go or did they trade the Andre Swift? They let them go. They traded them for like a third or a fourth or something
Right, and so the like people were basically saying imagine Jalen Carter on this lion's defense. Like that is what they need someone like that. And
yeah, the Eagles just have an embarrassment. Riches, do you max? Do you want to say anything
publicly about the fact that you were watching the game on stream? And our co-worker, Steven
Chase said that he wants Jalen hurts hurt. He wants to see him get hurt. And you didn't
bitch slap him. Not very filly like of you.
I should have slapped him.
It was absolutely disrespectful to say about my guys.
I know what you're gonna say.
What?
I'm just gonna say it first.
I'm gonna do the eight mile.
I know what I said about Patrick Mahomes.
Oh, he did say he wanted Patrick Mahomes to tear his ass.
That was in the moment.
I didn't want Patrick Mahomes to be hurt long term,
but I wanted it.
I didn't want him to play. That's not true I wanted it. I didn't want him to play.
That's not true, not true.
I didn't want him to play this second half of that game.
You just said that you said,
I hope he turns this into a C.O.
I never said that.
You just said it.
Never said that.
You just said it like five seconds ago.
What?
Am I going insane?
No, he said I did say I wanted Patrick and my home's
tears ACL.
I don't say tears ACL.
I said I wanted to get hurt.
You just said that.
I don't think I said tears. It's a slip, but you said it. What is going on? Did I say ACL? I don't say Terry's ACL. I said I wanted to get hurt. You just said that. You just said that.
I don't think I said Terry's ACL.
It's a slip, but you said it.
What is going on?
I don't think I said ACL.
I said ACL.
He didn't even hurt his ACL.
Big cat said ACL.
I said ACL.
So did Max.
Oh, Max said it.
The home's hurt his ankle.
But you wanted him to Terry's ACL.
Yeah, you wanted her.
I don't think I ever said that.
Okay.
Well, this is gaslighting.
This is gaslighting.
Max, what about the play calling on that first drive? You think that was those Nick Sirani being like everyone's talking about AJ Brown.
He was yelling at people on the sidelines last week. Let's, let's force feed the ball to
AJ Brown. I mean, he absolutely ate on the, like, AJ Brown is a good player. You get the
ball in the hands of the good player. I don't like care what happened last week. Like people
who are like, oh, yeah, you're just trying to force AJ Brown. Yes, you, you have AJ Brown
on your team. You want AJ Brown to have the ball.
Much like, much like eight mile, I'm just going to get ahead of it and say Congrats Max
on beating the commanders by at least 25 points this weekend.
No, I mean, our offensive line can't block shit.
I think Sam Howe is getting pressured.
79% of the time when it's dropbacks.
With that defensive line, you guys, oh, man, 30 points minimum.
Don't do that. Maybe 40 congrats on the blowout.
All right. So other game, Joe burrows back.
Kind of. Those are back kind of didn't look great, but he did say afterwards.
He's like, I know what was at risk for my injury, but I also know it was at risk
to start O and three. And that was something I couldn't let happen.
So yeah, the Bengals, that was a big, that was a big win for the bangles,
because you, you need Joe Burrow to be healthy, but you also got to win games like
Oh and three in that division would have been a tough, tough uphill battle.
So and I love the all whites.
It's a big hole. All whites were great. Joe didn't look like himself, though.
He was, he was like all over the map, not accurate.
He's thinking about it. Have you seen like the side by side of his injured leg and his healthy leg?
Yeah, his injured leg is like Kate Moss then. It's like a bone. It's very injured
But he did say something after the game that I thought you know
He didn't look he doesn't look like Joe burrowed yet
But he said that his defense was bawling out the deep the Bengals defense looked like the old Bengals defense
Yeah, and that's the important part because he said
Part of the Bengals defense playing the way they are,
I can take less risk.
I can know that, you know, I can throw the ball away
and put the ball where it can't be, you know, picked off.
And you saw a lot of that last night,
where some of the balls are going out of bounds,
where he's like, I'm not gonna risk this
with our defense bowling the way they are.
Yeah, same.
And they were.
Sam Hubbard played a hell of a game.
Yeah, great.
Jamar Chase looked good too.
Yeah. It was, it get the ball to Jamar Chase.
Find Jamar Chase anywhere he is.
Get him the ball down field.
The offense will look a lot better if you can do.
He wanted the ball more.
Maybe a diva.
Diva.
Yeah.
Jamar on diva watch for sure.
I think we we just projected that to the point
where now we're just seeing.
Maybe it's confirmation bias that we're seeing receivers like say,
we want the ball more.
AJ Brown, another one.
Well, if you're a receiver, you probably always want the ball. Again, Deva is not a bad thing. We want more Deva receivers. It makes the league fun. And if you're that good,
you should be a little bit of a diva. Yeah, and they brought Chad Johnson back to the ultimate Deva
receiver. Yeah, brought him back for this game, fresh off, leaning, ringing the bell at the
lighthouse last weekend. Oh, he's doing the tours. He's making the tour, yeah.
He never rang the bell, he just made that up.
He said he was gonna ring the bell.
Sounds like you guys pulled the carpet out from under him.
No, legends only.
Legends only.
Okay, well, that is a segue.
PFT, you wanna do a quick ad
and then we'll get into the lighthouse finale?
Yeah, before we talk about the lighthouse,
they should have paid extra for this ad read
because this is probably the most listened to segment of the year. Uh, it's brought to you
by Morgan and Morgan in FLCs and it's going by so fast, so fast that defense line on the
Eagles is so fast, so fast. You know what else is fast submitting a claim with Morgan and
Morgan? It only takes eight clicks or less right from your phone. And you want to know what
else is fast watching Kyle Bush and Austin Dylan whip around the track

Okay. Lighthouse finale for now. I don't want to ever put a cap on I mean, it sounds like you've been putting caps on the left and right
Oh, you're the one that's catching about one
No, no, hey, no, it was it was a Monday. We were doing all of our game
Hey, if there's one person who's capping about the lighthouse it's you so who would like to go first?
I think you got to go first Hank
PST do you have any I mean what is PST? I mean, I have truth on my side. I wield the mighty sword of justice
and truth for anyone who's listening to the first episode of part of my take. Welcome to the
premiere lighthouse podcast in America. Well, we're truth. We're true seekers of me personally.
You set the stage for the new lighthouses. Should I set the stage? I also set the stage. The Patriots built the largest lighthouse in the car.
Nettle US. That's actually not true. It was, you know,
discussed, promoted and then largest TFT commentator.
My name came out of the woodwork and in a pure jealousy.
You didn't even give the full story about why they built the Lighthouse.
Said that, the Lighthouse, well, they had a Lighthouse there,
then they built a bigger jumbo tron.
That covered the old Lighthouse,
so they had to build a bigger Lighthouse inside the pocket.
Let's make the biggest Lighthouse in the continental US.
That's for no big deal.
Okay.
And then PFT has come out of the woodwork.
He's contacting potentially fake military members
to get facts, disproving the fact that it's a real Lighthouse.
His name is Commander Crowell, and he is a commander in the United States Coast Guard. military members to get facts, disproving the fact that it's a real hideout.
His name is Commander Crowe,
and he is a commander in the United States Coast Guard.
And you know what, I'm sick of people
forgetting about the Coast Guard.
When you ask him, like, when you say,
thank you for your service, when you say,
okay, what's your favorite branch of the military?
People always talk about the Navy,
they talk about the Air Force, they talk about the Army.
No one ever mentions the United States Coast Guard.
They're the real heroes, Hank.
You ever seen the Orange helicopter rescuing somebody from a sea? Yeah. That's the Coast Guard,
my friend. I love the Coast Guard. I grew up in the water. Okay. So, Hank, without further ado,
by the way, if you're watching on the YouTube, please subscribe. Because we're trying to get 500,000
and we want to do that so that we can release the max 5K tape.
Yep. All right. Here we go. White House shall have to bend Domek. I don't know how you say his last name.
Who's he? He's my on field reporter.
Like we said last week, you talked about the the mountains and the rivers and I needed to find someone that could, you know,
verify some of these facts from me on the ground. Wait, so someone did the work for you? Yes. No. Yes.
What, uh, it's almost like Jake.
I'm not, no, it doesn't work for Barsal.
I'm not like, where does he work?
I don't know.
What do you mean? You don't know.
What's his area of expertise?
He just helped me. He helped me.
I had to get assistance. I told you, I couldn't go to New England
and verify these facts.
So I had to have someone help.
I'm not like Jake. I'm not like Jake.
I'm not like Jake.
I actually give people credit for the reports that helped me on.
Where'd you meet this guy?
Can we just get into the report?
Let's start.
Is this an editor at large at the spectator?
No, it's a different spelling.
Oh, it's just an AWO like slipping your DMs and help you.
No, I don't worry about it.
Is this guy who is 100,000 dollars?
I think he's not worried.
Well, that's, that's Megan McKayne's husband.
Did you get Megan McKayne's husband to come in?
Don't worry.
Are you getting facts from Megan McKayne?
No, it's a different spelling.
Yeah.
Oh, dominant.
Yeah.
I was gonna say you brought in a political operative
to take us down.
Stick to sports, Hank.
You guys should stick to sports.
I'm just trying to find the name wrong.
So, all right, you know what, flag,
but the contest hasn't started so that that actually doesn't count
There's no contest first we'll go into the history
The earliest known lighthouse has been in Egypt over 2000 years ago that Brad Pitt
Is not all a just leaders found the remains of more than 30 lighthouses built by ancient Romans. Yeah, but he was in movie Troy
Basically a woman. Yeah, which was about Greece. Not Egypt.
Our Rome.
Next slide.
Wait, wait, okay.
That's the fact of it.
This is the fact of it.
This is the fact of fiction section
of the presentation, fact of fiction.
This is for Big Cat and PFT.
PFT said these exact words on Friday.
For a lighthouse to be considered a federal aid
to navigation, it must be clearly visible
from a federal waterway.
I'm gonna say fat.
Yeah, that sounds like something I would say.
Now let me pull up the exact word.
But then we pause and put a comma after navigation.
Next slide.
Wait, wait, wait, go back to that Hank.
Okay.
Okay, aid to navigate.
I'm just pulling this up right now.
I wanna make sure that. A federal aids to navigation are any marine aids installed
and maintained by the United States Coast Guard to answer a question.
Yes, the fact sheet that I sent is current for a lighthouse to be considered a federal
aid to navigation.
Kama, it must be clearly visible from a federal waterway.
Next slide.
Introducing my next example. My next, what do you call it?
Evidence?
Exhibit.
Exhibit.
Thank you.
Exhibit A.
Exhibit A.
You like lighthouses?
I'm gonna build you entire podcasts
of a lighthouse.
I'm exhibit.
The Namponset River.
Namponset River is a river in Eastern Massachusetts
in the United States.
Its headwaters are at the Naponse River Reservoir
in Foxboro near Gillette Stadium.
Wait, how near?
Next slide.
What do you mean headwaters?
Yeah, headwaters literally means come.
Next slide.
Start of it?
The Naponse River is federally funded.
This is a Naponse River in Milton, Massachusetts.
This was fun fact, just right down the street
from our old office in Milton.
You so walk by it every day to go get coffee.
Okay.
During the construction of Gillette Stadium,
the river was relocated to the edge of the property,
adjacent to the Freeman Ham Secondary, and they lit.
You did not write any of this.
Yes, I did.
So, wait, wait, they moved the river.
So, that is Gillette Stadium. I actually go to the next slide. How do you move the river? Wait, wait, wait, they move the river. So that is Gillette Stadium.
Actually go to the next slide.
How do you move the river?
No, wait, wait, wait, go back.
You just said they relocated the river.
Yeah.
How do you move a river?
Ever heard of dams?
That plugs up a river.
And it moves it.
It moves the stream.
Okay.
To save technology.
To save technology.
To save the stream.
To save technology.
To save technology.
Next slide. That is Gillette Stadium.
And that is the Nuponson River,
a federally funded water.
That's the head of the Nuponson River.
Allegedly, go back, go back, a couple slides memes.
It's the head of the, go back one more memes, two more.
Now I want, no, go.
A lighthouse to be considered a federally,
it must be clearly visible from a federal waterway.
Continue.
Last slide.
That is the lighthouse.
And in the distance, not far away at all,
is the Naponcent River a federally funded waterway.
Okay, so hey, a couple of things here.
And conclusion.
One, is this or is this not a view from the lighthouse?
Above, it looks like about three times as high
as the lighthouse is of the river.
I do not, that could be something. I am not holding river. I do not that I am not holding the selfie stick.
I am not convinced that you can see that waterway from the top of the lighthouse.
I would like to see evidence about it.
I would also like to see evidence.
You can see the lighthouse from the waterway.
It looks like there's trees there.
The picture that you've shared right now, Hank, is fucked up.
That's twice as tall as that stupid fake lighthouse.
We need to see a picture from the head of the Nupons at River to the light.
Hank, Hank included a picture taken from the Good Year Blimp.
Also, this is the reverse angle.
That could be someone that could be someone on a selfie stick.
Hank, you need someone sitting in a boat.
That's what I'm saying.
In the river.
Because there's a tree line there.
I mean, again, you didn't give me enough time.
You really kind of tried to turn this court case around quickly.
You tried to do it on Monday. Well, I had I don't have time to go to mass Tuesdays
But what I do or if I can get banned or someone else to help me out
I will prove that you can clearly see the lighthouse from a federally funded waterway
Therefore making it a lighthouse officially. All right. Is this was that it? Okay, so okay?
Wait, so now I get to I get to respond
Yeah, yeah, also I have a question, the lighthouse,
it looks like it's just the top is lit,
but it doesn't actually have like the light
that you shine out.
There's no lights that go out, no.
In fact, they keep it dark almost all the time,
which is a safety hazard.
And for birds too,
birds probably fly into that thing all the time.
Wait, but what if you're on a boat
at the head of the Nupons at River
a federally funded waterway
and the lighthouse isn't on?
If there's a ship wreck,
then that goes back to New England Patriots.
We need to go wreck a ship.
We should.
We gotta go wreck a ship.
Be like, we didn't know the land was a mile away.
Okay, I'd like to provide a couple points
made by Henry Lockwood.
Henry, what is your evidence
that the Nuponset River
is federally funded?
I have the website.
Okay, tell me what federally funded means.
I want to know more details about that.
Joe Biden sends a cash app transaction every month
to the river, different rivers across the country.
It says it right there though, it does say,
go back one, Nuponset River is federally funded. Yeah, that's, that is,, go back one. Deposit river is federally fun.
Yeah, that's, that is, that's Hank's evidence.
That looks like facts.
The PonsetRiver.com.
Okay.
Oh, it's not.gov.
Interesting.
Huh.
Interesting, okay.
Wow, you really, you really proved my point
very succinctly.
As everything that's federally fun to.gov, I don't think so.
It just needs federal waterway. That's all it needs. All right, so.. It just needs to be in federal waterway.
That's all it needs. All right. So, well, no, there's a couple of things.
I'm just scratching the surface here by definition, um, federal aids to
navigation or any marine aids installed and maintained by the US Coast Guard.
Did the US Coast Guard install or do they maintain the fake lighthouse at
Gillette stadium?
Could we go to the next slide?
Yeah, you're not answering.
For a lighthouse, we can see the federal age of navigation.
We're in the Surley-Lizz-Worst-Federal.
We're in the Surley-Lizz-Worst-Federal.
I do not know the exact details of the construction of the Gillette stadium lighthouse.
It says it must be clearly visible from a federal waterway.
That's right.
I remain unconvinced that it's clearly visible from a federal waterway. I remain unconvinced that it's clearly visible
from a federal waterway, and I looked up which waters.
What's the last slide?
I can't wait.
I looked up which waters are federally controlled.
federally controlled waters are waters
in which vessels must observe federal requirements.
Do you know what the federal requirements
that vessels have to observe when they're
on the Naponcet River are?
Are there any?
If you're boating,
can you take a boat out on the... It's the same as all the other federally. No, can you take a boat
onto the Nuponsa River without observing federal mandates? No, absolutely not. You don't know that.
I do. I do. I do. The waters include either the coastal waters, the great lakes, territorial seas,
or bodies of water connected directly to one of the above up to a point
where the body of water is less than two miles wide.
So what that means is if it's connected to the ocean, correct what it is, it still would
be a federal body of water until the point where the river is more narrow than two miles wide.
I don't think that's so much.
I'm looking at that right now.
That doesn't look like a two miles wide.
Easily two miles wide. No, that doesn't look like two miles wide. Two miles't think that's so much. I'm looking at that right now. That doesn't look like a two miles wide.
Easily two miles wide.
No, that doesn't look like two miles wide to me, Hank.
What's the distance right there?
Do we have it?
That's a mile and a half.
Okay, well then it's definitely not two miles wide.
Yeah it is.
What are you talking about?
No, that's a mile and a half per little spoke.
No, no, he's making that up.
So no, wait.
No, no, no.
No, because he's got the stadium on the map too.
Are you saying Gillette stadium is three miles long?
6, 7, 8, 9, stadium.
So that means that what you're saying right now,
that's 15 miles away from not even the lighthouse.
Yeah, maybe it's two.
I forget.
It might be that's what they had to make it the biggest lighthouse
in the continental US.
It's too far away if you're saying that's one and a half miles each.
Maybe it's half mile, I forget.
If it's a half mile away, then that would mean
that you let's say that the football field in New England
was a mile and a half long.
Yeah, there's no how big tracks are.
No.
Nope.
Nope.
Some more.
I think, now I'm more of an impartial observer here.
I think the only way we can conclude this is we need someone
sitting in a boat at the head of the Nuponsett River
Taking a video with that day's newspaper. Yeah to prove that that lighthouse is helping them navigate and all night
And yeah, and also measuring the head of the Nuponsett River to see if it's more than two miles wide. Yeah
Okay, yeah, I mean, it's a federal like okay
So the good news is the house saga is not over.
Listen, I, I'm keeping an open mind about it.
It's like you're not.
I am, I just think that you're very wrong.
I think you're so wrong about that.
I just presented every piece of evidence you could pot,
like if this was a jury, I would win 10, 10, oh.
You know what it's sad to me, 10, oh, you would win
your friend, your partial. What is Jerry how big are juries 12 12 12 oh here's
the thing Hank it's sad it's really sad I agree it's very very sad I agree that
a once proud New England Patriots fan who expected nothing less than Superbowls
every year has reduced themselves to creating a PowerPoint presentation and hiring out slaves to help you make this
court case instead of paying this person instead of talking about football.
Pro Bono.
Yes, it's slavery.
And hang so it.
So when the case, this is slavery.
No, it's not.
That's how it's just the loss of some works.
If you ever read a book, you would know that I, this is very similar again, being a
proud Patriots fan, this is very similar. Again, being a proud Patreons fan,
this is part for the course.
People try and take us down.
They try and make up these rules to flakeate, PSI,
fake reports, fake US Coast Guard people.
Just trying to tear down the greatest franchise
that NFL football has ever seen.
It's just sad.
And someone's got to defend it.
Someone's got to defend the wall.
I've been there before.
I would go to jail for the lighthouse. I would go to jail for the wall. I've been there before I would go to jail for the
Lighthouse. I would go to jail for Tom Brady. I already have you got a jail for the white. Yeah, I would and you got a break in. You go to jail for the
White House. I would break in and take a picture of the Deponset River. I
Just might I don't think you would look well welcome you with open. I don't think I don't think you would go to jail for the White House. I'm
Proud of you. Thanks for putting that this presentation together, even though you didn't, but I'm proud of you, Hank. It's the White House for putting that this presentation together, even though you didn't,
but I'm proud of you.
I mean, that's,
well, nothing.
Ben guy did everything.
Who do you think made this presentation?
Well, I know that Hank made this slide that has
Brad Pitt representing Egypt.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
One of the most famous Egypt's out there.
Why, why are you coming at me for getting help?
When PFT and his fucking little commander friend
don't get any heat, interesting. Well, he went out of the PFT and his fucking little commander friend don't get any heat?
Interesting.
He went out of the DFT for the first time.
I got a damn.
It's called Journalism Hank.
I reached out to the head of the United States Coast Guard to ask for their official comment
on the record.
Sounds like you're, yeah, he did.
And so I can't reach out to an expert in the field.
What's the qualifications?
What's Ben's qualifications?
White House expert in the field guy who made a quarter power points. I
Made this power point. You did I did I take it back. I'm proud of you. Thank you
I thought I thought that the screenshot that you used was your mad your mad
That's not a screenshot you would use if this was a neutral power point
I somehow you've wiped the internet clean
I literally stepped into Google PFT short and there wasn't there wasn't a lot of the good ones. Like I could have probably found
I could have probably got a work harder to find some better ones but you've done a good job.
You should run a hippie. Yeah, you were wiping those out. He was. He was. It's a little comedic relief.
It's sad. I mean I've I tied in like the deposit river. I'm I'm closer than the
deposit river. I've bathed in it. I've been. You've bathed in it. Yeah. You've bathed in it. Yeah.
How many times at least once? When? Many times. I mean I've. I'm swimming in it. Yeah, you've bathed in it. Yeah, how many times?
At least once.
When?
Many times.
I mean, I've gone swimming and cleaning
and washing off counts as bathing, right?
Swimming and soap?
Yeah, in the positive rivers.
You brought soap with you into the nose,
but like if you have sand on you, you're dirty.
And then what qualifies as bathing?
Jumping in the water is bait.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave
when we first start to tell us.
That's you right now.
All right, so we're two be continued again.
Also, is this a cartoon illustration?
It looks like it's AI.
It doesn't look real.
Hank, did you use AI?
You use AI?
Do you think I know how to use AI?
Wait, I don't know. I'm just a question
Because let's let's look let's think about this
It looks like a future stadium NFL state NFL games this year played in in Gillette stadium
Hank one was that night one was at night and the other was on a rainy day
The Eagles that's a no that's a sunny day with a stadium. Hey, this is a fake picture
Oh, it's not. Yes, it is.
This is.
I love this.
It's a preseason game, but I don't see preseason crowd like that.
Yeah, the trees tell you it's late October.
Wow.
Oh my God.
Hank.
Hank, you used, you basically went and got a pamphlet
that basically they created for the lighthouse.
Look at this.
It's literally type in Gillette River,
I mean Gillette Stadium in a Ponsa River, you can see it.
Oh, I'm not arguing that you were lazy
and choosing your picture that you used.
Use the fake picture.
Use the fake picture though.
It's a rendering.
I, the rendering isn't used in a court of law.
If I had a rendering of you murdering someone,
could I be like, look at this?
It's not a fake picture, it's a rendering.
Hank, that is, it's not.
Oh, I'm taking, I I'm taking it back again.
I do a terrible slideshow.
This is so bad.
Disgusting.
I mean, there's no proof that that's not a real picture.
Who are they playing?
When was this game played?
Preseason.
Preseason and the trees are turning away.
Yeah, global warming. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh That would mean that the leaves would would wait a long time. No, they're getting you also don't think weather's real
So how can you say global warming?
Global warming
Really much so thin here that is the fakes picture. We're look at the concourse. That's fake those are fake. That's
Patriots only home precinct game was that night. Oh
That's unbelievable. Patriots only home precinct game is that night.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
That's a full stadium.
What does the scoreboard say?
There's Texans 20 Patriots 9.
Oh, my God.
Hey, can you zoom in?
That could have been before the Eagles.
That wouldn't mean the Eagles game.
The Eagles game, it was raining and maybe not before the game started.
Well, the whole stadium.
The stadium.
Yeah, we actually have a good, good family.
The show up early
Okay, and also the leaves of already charged it's our first week in September
Yeah, we went over this global warming global warming. Okay, we think it's it's
Breeding the same. You know, it is such a bad PowerPoint that I'm a picture of Gillette
I'm inclined to give Hank the dub just because it's so it's so depressing
Because I think they're just missing stuff in this picture too, right?
Yeah, I mean, Hank, you...
That's tough.
A rendering?
You could render anything.
The slide that said the Ponset River
is federally fun.
It was pretty convincing though.
Yeah, that was.
Is that the old lighthouse or the new one?
Oh, that's the old one.
Nope.
Ariel. Not even close to right. Oh, man, Hank, Hank, this is
tough. Yeah, just click, click on one of them.
These are the other angles.
Hmm, man, that's the reverse, that's the reverse angle. Okay,
I don't see a lighthouse. That's also the reverse angle.
I don't see river or lighthouse. That's the the reverse angle. I don't see a river or a lighthouse. That's the old lighthouse.
It's the old one?
It's the last one.
Yeah.
You know what, I feel bad for the old lighthouse.
Yeah, I actually got Sean.
I think the old one was better.
Oh, there's one.
Okay, so this is a real picture.
And you can see it.
And you can't see the river.
It's you can.
Where?
No, it says, Joe, let's say I'm rendering.
Oh, that's the rendering.
Yeah.
Oh, there's the exact picture.
Boom.
The handsome's coming.
Oh, we found it.
Oh, so yeah, that lighthouse isn't even real.
It's not even been built.
That's a fake.
Literally, the picture is real.
The picture is real.
They just rendered in a lighthouse.
I don't understand the difference.
No, it's not.
Yeah, it is.
You think they rendered in the...
Oh, it could have been a New England Revolution game. Yeah, it is. You think they rendered in the... Oh, it could have been a New England Revolution game.
Yeah, full crowd.
You can see.
We go back to the one that we found
that Hank actually took from the internet there.
This one, click on this, click on the article.
Enhance is coming to your list.
That's from 2021.
Wow, Hank.
We don't even know if the river's still there.
That's a real picture. They might have
It a little bit a little Photoshop in
So it's Photoshop like it's a pic not a real picture. You just said it's Photoshop interesting with the additional
Yeah, within additional what is it tough? What do they add in?
I've had it they added in the lighthouse. It's a tough looking. I mean someone's gonna send a clear picture from the lighthouse of the river
Oh, we need from the river to the lighthouse.
Here are my terms, here are my terms
for the New England Patriots.
I will stop going on the lighthouse.
I will actually love the lighthouse
if they stop referring to it as a lighthouse.
Yeah.
Because it's not a lighthouse.
And the fact that they're putting out press releases
saying it's the biggest lighthouse in America.
It is.
Which is, well beyond to the good people of Cape Hatteras
who have an actual lighthouse that they've looked after
for hundreds of years. You know how many lighthouse tenders have
lived and died in that place? You know how much blood, sweat
and tears have gone into maintaining the Cape Adoris lighthouse.
And then you just come in one day and your billionaire owner takes
a break from banging his 25 year old girlfriend on massage
therapist and he decides to spend money. I'm sorry, I'm heated.
He decides he's gonna throw money at the problem
and make a lighthouse taking away all the credit
that should belong to the real lighthouse
and the real lighthouse keepers
that built this fucking country
and made it safe for international commerce to exist.
And meanwhile, you come in and just you turn your nose up at it
and you're like, I'm a patriot.
I'm the best, the word the best franchise, we can do a better lighthouse.
Fuck off, admit it's not a real lighthouse.
And then I will back off.
That was passionate, you don't have that type of passion.
I have, what do you mean?
You don't have that type of passion.
It's not just a one, we're not,
better than all the other football teams,
we're not just one state, we're not just one city.
We represent entire lighthouses.
We represent an entire, oh? Look at this. See this
is bullshit. They're taking
Valor. Yeah. So that's the
official New England Patriots
propaganda sports business
journal. Yeah. That the Patriots
sense to them sports business
journal. Oh man. We've got we got
a wherever we need what? What is
that asterisk say right there,
Hank? Oh, there's an asterisk.
It's not not a
bunch of things. We spent all this time and they just tweeted
it out. All this research. But it's still bullshit that
it literally says it on it. Call us to his lighthouse. That's
a fact. Oh man. All right. Well, I would like to see a
picture from the river. Yeah, I want to see that too. Yeah, I
would. And I'm still undecided on buying a lighthouse. I am undecided on whether I'll help you buy lighthouse. That's why I know I actually know
I'm not undecided on that. If you do, I will I will match. Okay. All right. So 44 grand each. Yeah.
Let's just but we got to know the upkeep. That's the only thing. I think there's probably a
significant amount of upkeep that goes into a lighthouse. Yeah.
I'm excited to see the analytics of skips during this section.
Oh, he got a list of no one Friday.
All right, well, let's get back to the show.
Oh, you know what?
The commanders are about to buy the land or about to use the land
where old RFK stadium used to be.
Lighthouse.
Right next to the Potomac River and the Anacostia River,
we could actually build a bigger lighthouse.
We should just buy some land,
and yeah, we should buy some land near the Mississippi River
and build a lighthouse.
Yeah, and it would have to be the tallest lighthouse.
We should do that.
Okay.
All right, so to be continued again,
we need the picture.
We need the picture.
You've presented some facts that side that said Napon Napon's at River federally funded waterway was compelling
So what does this say top of the lighthouse stretches seven flights of steps above the stadium's highest concourse
Even on a gloomy day
Boston skyline more than 20 miles away. Oh, no is visible in the distance. Okay. So you can see real buildings from it, but can they see back?
They can't see back.
No.
We got to find out if they can see back.
They can't.
All right, let's get back to our regular scheduled program
to be continued on the White House.
Great work all around.
That was fascinating stuff.
I mean, I ran into an intellectual Titan
in Henry Lackwood, so it's a pleasure to debate.
Pleasure to debate, Hank.
It is, I just spelled the same wrong.
What?
It's, yeah.
Oh, it was magnificent.
It literally is.
How, how did you get, I got sources.
Don't worry about it.
He just hit you almost like,
let me help you defeat the lighthouse.
No, I was just like, who do I know
that's a good journalist?
That's great.
Well, Shadow Ben, he did a great work.
I mean, that was great work. Again, I don't think you did any of it. He did all of it.
Can we go to slide five, please, memes?
That's so funny that you didn't spell the person's name correct.
Slide five says the deposit river is federally funded. Is that the river they used to jump into when you're hungover?
Not that spot, but yeah that river all right
Hotsie chill throne Hotsie chill throne brought to you by our friends at
Chors like game day just got a whole lot chiller because this season you can take your whole tailgate to the next level with the Chors like chill throne
The only seat specifically designed for tailgating all game day long with features like Bluetooth speakers, stadium turf, leg rest, a cup holder that chills your course light to a perfect
36 degrees Fahrenheit and a course light can tap draft to pour one for a pal. The children
is innovation. Every tailgate has it been waiting for. So let your friends bring the grill,
the flat screens and the cornhole. You bring the chill with the course light children and
starting now, you can get the PMT children.
Yep, the children that Hank sitting in right now that we've been sitting in all season
on eBay auction is live from September 28th to September 30th.
That's Thursday to Saturday.
All proceeds will be donated to the Habitat for humanity bid to become the MVP of your
entire tailgate. Game day will never be the same with the core slide children. Okay, hot seat children. Hank.
Let me pull up my notes.
Hot seats are notes or someone else's. I mean, there are always my notes. You know me. And anymore hot seats myself. Yeah, I agree.
Not for anything light has related, but I did start clearing that I'm going
to find a big tenting this fall going on Saturdays, picking a different team every week. Then about
three weeks in, well, I had a bachelor party, Labor Day weekend, and then I went out the first two
Saturdays of the week, fall and realized, remembered that I never used to go out on Saturdays because being hung over Sundays is the worst
Doing this show
And so I've kind of just put a put a put a pause on the big 10 fandom. Why don't you just not drink?
I always talked about this before I am not fully capable like I'm not I'm not there yet. Just go beers only
But I could but beers only like once I get a couple beers me, I want to have like, you know, 20 beers in me.
So are you?
I'm not a, I'm not, I'm not like that type of person.
I can just go out.
I can just not go out and not drink,
but I can't go out and then not drink.
You can not go out.
You can not go out.
I have no problem not going out.
Yeah, no, I understand that.
If you're in a bar, you're gonna drink.
Yes.
So wait, so are you doing this weekend?
No.
But then we have a surviving bar stool and then...
That's why I had some pause.
That's why I'm on the hot seat.
But I feel like you have to do one this weekend.
Why?
Because you're gonna run at a time.
This past ball season.
Oh, okay.
So this is gonna be a big one.
I had some pause.
I put myself on the hot seat. I put myself on the hot seat. It was a good idea.
I was here this summer, maybe not working as much as I was. And I was meeting all these
people to all these different big tent schools. Like, oh, I want to, I want to find a big
tent team to root for. Didn't factor in football season. Yeah, you did say you muttered
under your breath on Sunday. You're like, I forgot I used to not drink on Saturdays.
Yeah. Well, that's like four years, like,
for I was always a big Friday night guy,
kind of recover Saturday and then you're good for Sunday.
Going from the bachelor party,
which obviously took a lot.
Wait, you get drunk on a weekday?
Yeah, I mean, that's because we work on Sunday,
so it's like kind of different.
You gotta make your weekdays the weekends.
Um.
But yeah, just having the three consecutive Sundays where I wanted to die was not was not was not good
So I you know for the betterment of myself
Hey, can I make a make a suggestion? Yes, why don't you just do noon games and then you go home after the noon games
I tried that twice or no I tried that once
Ganking is fun and then it leaves the night drinking. Yeah, the best is going out watching the early games true
Watch about a bar and then you watch like the first half of the second games,
you order Uber Eats and then you just chill out on your couch and you're fine.
Yeah, I mean, I just, that's definitely an option. I just have kind of, you know,
with surviving parcel coming up, I was like, I want to get my mind right. I want to get my
mental's on point. Two weeks ahead. This is a, it's great watching Hank battle adulthood,
because if you remember last week when I complimented him
I was like you're really grown up and then after we finished taping that show
He texted the group text chat like 20 minutes later. He's like does anyone know where my wallet is?
Yeah, no, I just fell on my pocket got locked out twice. Yeah, and then lost his wallet
Yeah, I mean listen to battle it's a rivalry right now. I'm
going to get a win. You're getting a win right now. I'm trying to be an adult. Yeah. All right,
you're cool. Your children. I'm trying to beat me. You know, I can't I can't fool myself.
That's right. You know, some people can be a little bit go out. Don't go out. Go
out for a couple hours. And it's like, I can't meet for me. It's like anything over two
beers. Somebody's going to black down. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, you're just you're feeling
at the next day no matter what.
And then it's like, you know, obviously it's,
it's not a hard job, but watching football on stream,
like there's nothing better than being hung over
and just lying on your couch, kind of half dead,
watching football, eating, maybe fall asleep
for the late games, like you can't really do that here.
So it's like, you're just like, just mentally
in a torture chamber.
People think that this job is easy.
It's not, it's not easy to watch football all day
And my cool throw is Jim Tom Sula. Oh, yeah, he's my two. Well, I got him first
His European football team he let his football European football team to a 14-0 championship season where they won each game by
Navigator 27 points. What team is that? It's a German team. Yeah, what team?
It's the four aces the Ryan fire. Oh, Ryan fire. Yeah, so perfect season. Who's over has those?
Mm-hmm. Have you ever had one of those perfect season? Nope, who's on the four aces?
Dustin Johnson paparrez Peter you line oh
No
Patrick reading there you go. Good job. Good job. It was nice to see Jim Tom stool a celebrate. Yes
He looked all wet and happy. He looks awesome. Yeah, okay you go. Good job. Good job. It was nice to see Jim Tom's school of celebrants. Yes. He looked all wet and happy. He looks awesome. Yeah.
Okay. PFT your hot seat children. My hot seat is golfers.
Golfers this weekend over in Europe because have you guys seen the
fairway videos that are coming out, the fairway rough videos? I saw our guy
Dan rap ports. He kind of he's trying to debunk it, but that was only one whole the course. And by debunking it, he further went to show
like, Oh, if you missed the fairway by five yards, it's not that
bad. If you miss it by seven yards, then you're basically in a
rainforest. Yes, it looks bad. And it's penal. I can't wait. It is
penis. It's penal ground. It's perverted over in Italy. And it is
penal. It's at the Marcos Simone Golf Course.
I actually, I went to their Google reviews
to read what the feedback from the public has been.
So this is prior to them hosting the Ryder Cup.
I found one one star review that said,
I played there two weeks ago,
my son was locked in a bathroom for 45 minutes.
Fall to lock, no cell reception.
After finally finding him and getting a maintenance guide
to open the door, had to get to the first tea,
the kid was traumatized.
The manager didn't care about our experience,
even told me afterwards,
he wasn't even sure there was a problem with the lock.
So the bathrooms will take you alive, okay?
So if you've got bad butt issues
and you're playing in the Ryder Cup, Max, just keep it easy.
Just like boiled rice, boiled ground beef, like a sick dog.
Make sure that your stomach is okay.
And then my cool throne was going to be Jim Thompson but instead I'll make it double
golf.
Charlie Woods.
Yeah.
You just want to tournament.
Charlie won a tournament first of many.
Probably not even his first, probably his like 100th.
For sure. But he's not for sure.
Right now he's on pace to win 40 majors.
True, which is pretty incredible.
Is that good?
And Tiger was on the bag.
Yeah, he was on his bag.
Walking, love that.
Walking.
Interest like he's walking again.
Yeah, so Charlie, keep doing what you're doing buddy.
Yeah.
All right, my hot seat, I got a couple big Ben and Jerome
Benets, did you see his clip?
Yeah.
Maybe the funniest like cell phone of all time, big Ben and Jerome Betts.
We're talking about I think the 2004 AFC Championship game.
And they're like the Patriots cheated.
And they told the story that they had a hand signal to run counter to flip their play and the Patriots had figured out their hand signal because
Journal Buzz is like we had this hand signal back in the day we ran all the time
So not really like cheating just you they knew it. They called the time out
The page is called time out and then
Set up to stop the counter and the stealer still ran the same play and stopped it and so it was
It's quite the clip. They basically just kept on telling the story, saying the Patriot cheated and
the whole time it was Jerome Betis essentially saying, yeah, we're so dumb. We had the same
hand signal. And then we ran the same play after our time out. And we didn't change
them. We don't expect the reverse 10 miles away. It was so great. It was like, yeah, the
cheated. There was another great clip from that when Big Ben explained how he got the nickname Big Ben.
Oh, do you guys know?
No.
You might think it's because he's a big guy and his name is Ben.
But apparently when he was in college, they ran a Hail Mary play and they called the play Big Ben.
And Square touched down so everyone started to call him Big Ben.
I don't think it's ever occurred to Big Ben that maybe they named the play Big Ben because they're big quarterback. His job was to just go back and throw
them all as far as he could. Yeah. It's like I'm not even a big guy. Yeah, he's like, come on. I
don't know how people think like I'm big, but I'm actually not. It's just the name. And then my
other hot seat is Aaron Rogers, because I think I have rented his head. He mentioned me on the Pat
McAfee show when they were talking about Jordan Love,
like some people online saying
that Aaron Rogers' support of Jordan Love is fake.
And Aaron Rogers is like, oh, was that big cat?
Looks like it's flipped.
What is that you?
No, it wasn't.
I said, I said, it's fucked up that Jordan Love is good.
But you never said that you think he's,
no, I said it's fucked up Jordan Love's good
because it's not fair. Faking the support. No, I don't know. No, never said that you think he's... No, I said it's fucked up, Jordan loves good, because it's not fair.
Faking the support, that was better.
No, I don't know.
No, no.
Did you think it?
No, actually I didn't.
Yeah.
No, I actually didn't.
I actually think that might be genuine.
Okay, so yeah.
I think Roger's in a bad way.
I'm going to rule that you are living in...
Living in...
And Aaron Rodgers said for sure.
Yeah, yeah, so nice little flip there.
My cool throw is Tyree Kale,
because he came out today and said that when he retires,
he wants to just kind of get out of the limelight
and enjoy his retirement in peace,
and also be a porn star.
Okay, I like that.
So yeah, he wants to be a porn star.
That's what Miami will do to you.
Yeah, yeah, he said, I think he's on a Twitch stream
or something, he said this.
So yeah, tune in, I would watch. Yeah. I would watch. He's very fast. To be honest,
here, I would watch. Yeah. You everyone here in this room would watch and don't pretend you
wouldn't. You want to see how he fucks. I'd want the hips must go like a mile a minute.
Fast switch muscle. Like a drill bit. Yeah. Yeah. He's like a hummingbird. Yeah.
Woodpecker. He goes to have a throes on her pubic bone. Yeah. He's like a hummingbird. Yeah. A woodpecker.
Because we just have a throes on our pubic bone. Yeah.
And then my other cool throne is the white socks
who were running $1 Thursday.
There I think it's either the last home game
or close to it. One dollar to get in.
There's actually talk about Cubs fans taking over
because they're playing the Marlins
and the Cubs need the Marlins to lose.
But a reporter asked about it because in the middle of the day, and it's a one o'clock
game, uh, or sorry, a $1 game, he said, if you can't get off work, but want to buy a ticket
to Thursday's $1 white socks game, I just confirm with the team that you can bring your
laptop into the ballpark, but not your laptop back.
So you can just carry just right on.
You know what they should
do. If they want people to attend game, they should be like tonight is official. Don't
get shot night. Yeah. Well, it's this is I just want to see some people just walking with
their laptop because that's an awkward feeling when you don't have a bag for your laptop.
Yeah. Because you just feel the whole time like I'm going to drop this as far as into the
year promotions go. I don't know that bring your laptop to the park. He's as good as Barca at the park night, which is I've seen a couple of those.
I fucking love Barca at the park nights.
They did one.
I think I think the Metz did one the other night.
Yeah.
And they did the Simba cam where people are just holding their dogs up.
Yeah.
They should do that every night.
Dogs should be welcome in stadiums.
Yes.
All right, Jake, your hot seat children.
My hot seat is Zach Wilson for two reasons. One, the Juts brought in Trevor Simian. Yes. All right, Jake, your hot seat chill throne. Oh, my hot seat is Zach Wilson for two reasons. One, the Jets brought in Trevor Simian.
Yes.
Right. The Sibian and number two, uh,
Joe name with just verbally destroyed Zach Wilson's confidence.
But on the flip side, Robert Salah came out and he said, what did you say?
Yeah, he said he's a guy, right? No, not I think he even went further, uh, and said,
like he's not the reason we lost. Yeah. Well, he's not the only reason, but he's our guy right? No, not I think he even went further and said like he's not the reason we lost.
Yeah, well, he's not the only reason, but he's a pretty big one.
He's a pretty big reason.
So Joe Namus said on the Michael K show, I don't know why we're trusting this again because
I got duped a few weeks ago, but this is from Joe Namus mouth.
I don't believe in him.
I don't believe he has a future as a good player and I think they made the wrong choice
when they drafted him.
Tell us how you really feel going out on the limb. These are all were not a passer.
Come here Suzy. You want to kiss you. Yeah, so I'm probably not great.
Probably not great. Not great. But the fact that they're bringing in Simeon, like the Jets need to
they need to have a reality check, I think, because they're trying to they're trying to like
bring in some competition without making Zach Wilson actually have his feelings hurt. So they're getting players
that are not going to be a threat to him. And they're like, here, we're just getting you some
support. That's all you need to get him an actual replacement. Also Zach Wilson, what you should
simply do is point out that I believe you have better stats than Joe
Nameth's because people forget that Joe Nameth was actually under 500 as a quarterback and
also had significantly more interceptions than touchdowns.
So Zach Wilson, this is probably going to be ugly, but let's look it up.
Zach Wilson is 17 touchdowns to 22 interceptions. 17 to 22.
And Joe Nameth is, let's see,
Joe Nameth is 173 to 220.
I feel like Zach Wilson has a better ratio to this now.
Okay, so that maybe is.
Oh, 0.77, what was the other one?
Joe Nameth.
Yeah.
173 to 220.
Ah, Joe Nameth. Yeah, 173 to 220. Joe Namath is worse. Yeah.
So pointed out, Zach by 0.01%. Get his ass.
Also, this Sunday, we get the official Billy football ball because it's
at Wilson versus Patrick Mahomes. Oh, yeah.
Actually, wait, I'm passing off the torch. I'm dumb. I'm dumb at math.
I think, yeah, I think Zach Wilson is 0.01% worse than Joni.
Either way, so throw a touchdown, Zach,
and no interceptions, and then you'll be better.
Yeah, back, yeah.
Yeah.
My chill throne is rivalries allegedly
the New Mexico State quarterback.
What would you offer the orange squeeze?
Orlando.
Orlando squeeze.
The New Mexico State quarterback allegedly, then New Mexico, see it
quarterback allegedly pissed on New
Mexico's logo. I like that. I like it.
Good. Love it. Yeah. literal
piss. Pist on the low bow. Low go.
Well, low low bow, the logo, the
low bow, the logo, low, low, the logo,
low with the logo. CD just skipped
there. Low bow, the logo. So, um, Jerry Kills, New Mexico state head coach is one of my favorite characters in
golf's college football because football almost killed him.
Was he the guy that ate ice cream on the side?
No, that was dilly bar dan.
Okay.
Looks like Jerry Kills Jerry Kills, football was giving him seizures.
So he had to retire because he was like, if I keep coaching football, I'm going to die.
But now he's back. Rival, we gone too far football, I'm gonna die. But now he's back.
Rivalry gone too far as the caption on that video.
I think that's perfect.
I think it's good for college football.
Also Jerry Kill was in all time.
I love when teams mascots look like their head coaches.
He did look like a go for it.
Yeah, yeah.
I think that's the best thing.
The coach K looks like the coach K.
And then the old head coach for the Penn State
basketball team.
Who was that?
He looked like a nitty-lie.
He had white hair, short guy.
I love when that happens.
It's very fun.
It's like 101 Dalmatians.
We end up looking like your dog.
Do you remember his name?
Max Oh no, Villanova basketball.
Oh, that's interesting.
Max gets Villanova pass ball.
Pets Dick Carter.
Huh?
No, no, it doesn't have a, uh,
they have a football team, not an FPS team.
Yeah.
I don't know, whatever his name was.
Dick Carter.
I don't know.
Dick Carter.
Yeah, I was their coach until...
It's your mouth, Jake.
I don't think that was his name.
Shut up, lucho.
Jake, how do you not know this?
You're the college basketball guy.
I'm sorry, I don't know that one.
It was like Pat Sombra.
Oh, Pat Chambers.
Yeah, Pat Chambers.
Okay, I didn't really go.
Barry Sombra.
Yeah.
I get from that.
I got you.
Yeah. Hank is on fire today. Yeah, I get that. I got you. Yeah, I got you.
Yeah.
Hank is on fire today.
Yeah, I like it.
Hank?
Hank's got his ever since the trial.
He's been good.
Yeah, he's been good.
All right, let's get to our interview.

Here he is, Andy Staples.
Whoa.
Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest,
our good friend Andy Staples. You can find him on three sports the Andy Staples show
You can find on a podcast YouTube everywhere. We talk college football on Wednesday, so it's perfect that you were here in person to talk about the college football and everything that's happening. It's been a very exciting year. I want to start with this. Is this the most
Agrived people have been in college football in terms of coaches players. We have it everywhere Ryan Day calling out Lou Holt's
Colorado Colorado getting organ releasing a a tape where Colorado's being like call you know
Call the National Guard. We were gonna kill some ducks all these things
Everyone's got a great Kirby smart
getting upset because Georgia fans aren't loud enough,
like Jim Bofischer trying to hit a guy
on a fumble return.
Yeah, it's like, he wasn't trying to hit the guy.
I'm disappointed in Jim, but you gotta break down on that.
Yeah, but the motivation has been out of control,
real or perceived, and it feels like everyone's mad at someone.
Even we forgot to mention Michigan, the week one,
pretending that Jim Harbott died.
Right.
And doing the free horse up.
Forza.
What's going on right now?
It's great.
It is great.
It's pro wrestling.
Yes.
That's exactly what it is.
I recorded the open for my show tomorrow or tonight.
And that is what it is.
Like this is pro wrestling.
I started watching that wrestler show on Netflix.
Yeah.
And I was,
Yeah, exactly.
I was listening to Al Snow talk about, okay,
you gotta, you gotta put the baby face over.
You gotta have the heel get heat.
That's exactly what's happening.
So Dan landing used Dion Sanders to put himself over
and Dion allowed Dan landing to get over.
Yeah.
If we're using that terminology, that's exactly.
Dan landing said it yesterday.
He's like, Deon, what Deon's doing is great.
He's bringing so many eyeballs to the sport.
Think about this.
When Oregon dropped that video on Monday night, all we in the college football universe
were talking about was Oregon.
And you can say, well, see, you're doing that because of Colorado.
Yes, we are.
But now we're talking about Oregon.
Yes.
And we're going to be talking about it.
And we're like, oh my God, Oregon plays Washington soon.
That's going to be amazing.
Yeah.
It's good for everybody.
It is.
It is.
It is.
I did like the Dan landing clip.
I mentioned it.
Oregon fans got mad, but like his clip where he's like, we're about wins, not clicks.
He was doing it in front of ESPN camera.
And also again, I think that it's Oregon.
You have a border yet.
Well, not in Times Square.
They're in a grammar see.
I came from what neighborhood.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. NX is in for Hizeman.
I think in that game, they were wearing special cleats that change colors,
depending on like their moves.
Or Oregon's the original all sizzle, no steak team.
They're the ones we always said, well, you know,
they just go fast and wear fancy uniforms.
I don't actually play football.
But now they've got these giant 300 pound dudes
like Josh Connerley, who yeah, oh yeah, they can play football too.
Also, wasn't landing doing that for clicks.
Yeah, so saying like this is doing in front of a cable,
which I get I liked in landing a lot, but it was just,
it was funny because every coach
should be trying to do things for X because it gets recruits
and it gets your name out there.
Also, it's the entertainment business.
Like if you aren't Kirby smart or Nick Sabin,
well, I guess not Ryan Day does it too now,
but if you're not them, be entertaining.
Right.
Like if you're like Dave Doran at NC State,
wins like eight, nine games every year.
Like, imagine if he was fun.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's true.
Yeah. So what about Ryan Day?
I feel like if we're doing the wrestling analogy,
he might have worked himself into a shoot.
Yes, I guess.
It was the work that became a shoot.
Yeah.
He said, home being like,
you're, look at you all emotional right now.
Oh, like, like, what a come up for Lou Holt to be relevant.
Here's the thing, that's not the guy you target,
but Ryan Day needed someone to say that out loud
to hang his argument on, because you know Ryan Day
hears that every day of his life, you've turned Ohio State soft.
Woody Hays is rolling over in his grave.
Like, he hears it every day.
So he wanted a chance to say
Here stick that up your ass like we needed a yard
We got it against 10 guys, but we got it. Yes. Yeah, no twice. Why they got it twice
So with the Lou hold thing
I almost hope that Ryan Day
Continues to go after Lou holds I hope you I hope after every single game that he has,
he's like, hey, Lou Holtz, where are you at?
Where are you at, Lou?
I hope Lou starts attending Ohio State Games.
He's standing up in an effigy.
Yeah, sitting up in a booth, like,
he went home with Thumbs Down.
Let's remember the circumstances
that Lou Holtz interview.
That's on the Mac if he show.
I'm blanking on which member of the toxic table does.
I think it was Ty.
Ty Smith does the dead on Lou Holt's impressions.
Yes.
He's in late texts.
He's in a whole set as Lou Holt's.
Right.
And first of all, like I've done radio with Lou Holt's before.
Like he is exactly what you think he'd be.
This was back when Jacobi Bressett was playing for NC State
and he called him Jacobi Breschit multiple times.
Yeah.
And I just kept giggling and he didn't know why.
But it is, it's amazing
that that's the guy you you target. Like, Oh, I'm going to get him. Yeah. I'm going to show
him. Okay. You don't need to show the lie. You need to show James Franklin and Jim Harboff.
Yeah. Because that's who you need to worry about. And that is the concern because what
we saw Notre Dame doing to Ohio State's defense late
in the second half were that the more they ran the ball, the better they got it running
the ball.
The Michigan method sounds a lot like Michigan.
And I guarantee you, that's what James Franklin's looking at and going, okay, here's how I'm
going to attack them to it.
And oh, by the way, calm accord is awesome when he's got time to throw when they brought
some pressure.
That's a problem. So when you're, when you're planning to add blue carder and chop Robinson in a few weeks
Penn State they'll be fresh. Yeah, so you were you were in South Bend though
And you just mentioned before we start interviewing that you talked to Marcus Freeman. Yes. Yes
Yes, Marcus Freeman. Yeah, is Marcus nine minutes is he's still standing is he standing by the fact that he didn't
Want to cause a penalty for his team and that's why he didn't want to go out there because, well,
no, he wanted it with the arrow pair.
Yeah.
And he put the arrow pair.
And that says that you can divide anything in half enough times and he'll never get to zero.
Right. So he did want to cause a penalty, what he didn't want to cause was a free play.
So I got the full explanation of that.
It's so if you don't want to go vary in the weeds, you might want to skip 15 seconds for it, but here here's what happened
So they they did not find out right after that second down play because if you've been right after the second down play
Which is a complete pass you just run somebody on the field they found out as Ohio State is lined up ready to go and so
The balls on the far hash down in the ends on the coach can't go past the 30 so he's like we can't run somebody on
down in the end zone, the coach can't go past the 30. So he's like, we can't run somebody on
because they won't make it across the line of scrimmaging time.
They'll snap it free play.
And it's a free play.
You just drop the flag and the play goes on.
So even if you stop them, then you have to stop them again.
The only way to do it is to get one of your defensive players
to touch an offensive player.
And they had no way because it's too loud.
So they have now created a signal.
So the cornerback nearest their sideline from
now on, there will be a signal to that guy. If you need it, touch the receiver, get the
official's attention. So my theory is he didn't want to get an 11th guy on there because the
10 guys on defense and the gaping hole where Ohio State is right there, cover's up for
the fact that they called a pass play on second down when they had
the ball and didn't let they easily could have had Ohio State.
Ohio State could have been sitting there with no timeouts.
40 seconds more time.
We ordered.
And that one play that actually almost got picked off.
Yes.
Which was crazy.
That coaching decision gets lost in the shuffle because of the 10 guys on field.
If we're assigning blame to things, that's way worse than the 10 guys on the field.
Because I remember I was, I'm standing here on the field and I'm looking at the clock
and I'm, I'm bad at math, but I'm like subtracting 40 seconds from the clock or subtracting
a time out of like how did you, how do you not just hand that off there?
It's, it's also, I think that what happens now is we get confused because there is the idea
that in football, you don't want to play to, you know, what is it?
What's it saying?
You want to play to win, not play to not lose.
But that's a situation like that's to me more like three minutes left for your offense.
That was clearly a just do the math and figure out a way to have them have no timeouts and
the littlest amount of time.
You're also running the ball well. Right.
It's yeah, it's a loaded box, but a screening and saluted box is the same
problem as a handle. Right. Right. Right. And it almost got picked off.
So that would be there is a sliding scale on that. Right.
Obviously at the end of the game, victory formation, you're playing to not lose.
Right. It's not trying to do anything. You're like, okay, we've got to win.
It's you're right. like if it's the further away
from the end of the game it is,
the more aggressive you can take with your head.
Yeah, like four minutes left, I get it.
You don't want to turtle and just run the ball
into the line and then punt.
But when you were in that spot where it's like a minute
and a half left and you can literally just do the math
and be like, how can we get them to have no timeouts?
Right.
Because it's gonna be a lot harder
and it ended up causing them to get...
They ran 15 plays.
Yeah.
They know.
So yeah, they had a they had a minute 26 when they got the ball back.
It's crazy.
And they would have had one fewer time out or 40 seconds less than that.
So what is that?
That's 46 seconds.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's good math.
It's crazy.
What about Sam Hartman?
Pretty boy. Too pretty to play football. He should have that running play in the first half.
If you just if you cut back a little bit, extended the ball, he wasn't,
he wasn't the billstone run. Sam was built to throw.
But it's off. I will. No, not soft. He was in that, he was in that slow
mesh at wake. That's yeah. No, that one scared the slow mesh.
Scared watch, watch Sam Hartmanman versus say a young college quarterback.
Like Sam Hartman, there could be a defender three inches from his face.
He's just standing there ready to throw the ball.
And you see like a freshman, they're bailing, they're freaking out.
Like he does not care.
He will stand there and get clobbered and still get the ball away.
The slow mesh at wake is like the scariest offense.
Well, I asked you, dude, get rid of the ball.
What are you doing?
I asked Mitch Griffis, who's their new starting quarterback.
Like, how do you deal with that?
He's like, you just get used to it.
Yeah.
But there's, there's 300 pounds dudes, like,
five inches from your face.
Right.
No, it's fine.
And they would just wait until very last second.
So Notre Dame, let's, let's finish with Notre Dame in this.
That felt like it could have been, obviously,
the biggest win for Marcus Freeman. It also could have been obviously the biggest win for Marcus free minute.
It also could have been like, not a passing in the torch, but it does feel Ohio State has
been in that upper echelon of programs Notre Dame right below it where it's like Notre
Dame is very good year in and year out, but they can't beat the top four or five programs
in the country.
And that was their moment to do it.
They can still go to the playoff if they run the table.
What do you think in terms of Notre Dame, your vibe of being around the program, like
headed in the right direction or was that one where it's like, fuck, the same old, same
old, like can't beat the big dog?
No, they're definitely headed in the right direction.
I think getting Sam helps in that respect, but I mean, it lead offensive line.
Their freshman running backs are really good.
Like, and then they have some freshman receivers that can play.
Marcus Freeman since he's gotten there is upgraded the talent.
They've got to upgrade a little more on the D line.
I think that's the really important place
that they're missing right now,
where they're pretty good, but they could be really good.
But I feel like they are deeper and more talented
than they ever were in the Brian
Kelly era.
And it feels like the NIL era and Freeman just make that easier to do than it used to
be because they, they're a transfer destination as well as it for the grad transfer.
Yeah, because guys who have been in college three, four years are smart, you know, and they
look at the big picture and they say, oh my god, if I'm a star at Notre Dame, I'm gonna make bank.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like you don't want to go there, you don't want to go to Notre Dame to have fun.
You're like, you're a freshman.
No, it's like grad school.
Yeah, instant job.
Exactly.
You're Notre Dame.
Yeah, and so, and it's Sam Hartman obviously changed it because my theory with Notre Dame
was they've just never been able to get that elite, elite quarterback.
Right. And now they have it, so let's see if they can run the table. Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be it's fun when Notre Dame's in the mix.
So I have a another program.
Alabama, we buried Alabama. Yep.
Unfortunately for us, we didn't look at the schedule because they are gonna win the SEC West.
LSU is gonna give them a little challenge. Yeah, that's a task of losing.
There are two hardest games or Tennessee,
by week, LSU, both at Tuscaloosa.
Right.
What's going on in Alabama?
I went to the game against Texas
and the guys I was in there sweet
and they were just like, how do we not have a quarterback?
This is crazy.
What's going on program-wise for Alabama?
They didn't have a quarterback. The offensive line isn't as good as it usually is. That's
really it. Yeah. Right there because in a nutshell. And now that they've decided on Jalen
Milro as their quarterback and they're actually building an offense around and running plays
that work for him, I think that's going to help them going forward because I think what
they were doing early in the season is, well, we don't know if it's going to be Milro or
Ty Simpson or Tyler Buckner.
So we're just going to call an offense that would kind of work for all of them.
It doesn't work.
And it's clear Simpson and Buckner aren't really the guys.
So now you use Milro who is a very athletic guy, very fast, good runner, but he throws
a great deep ball.
The problem with him is intermediate stuff.
So figure out how to work that best.
You've got a good defense.
And then if the offensive line does get better, your backs are very good.
And you keep like against Ole Miss, they were not having the greatest success running
the ball, but they kept running the ball.
And Ole Miss never could take advantage of that.
So against other teams, they're going to have success running the ball.
And it's going to look a lot like the Alabama of old, where they just, you know, steamrolled you.
And it was like, you don't get completely blown out. You get beat like 28-7. But it's going to feel like you were hopeless the entire game.
You're not going to have to ball at all. Yeah. So, um, Lane Kiffin might have also worked himself into a shoot.
Do you know what he said about the defense. I loved it. He said like I saw something in the defense
That's not their coordinator call in the plays. It's somebody else's I can see his fingerprints all over
So every year we like to throw it throwing a lit match in the Alabama football facility not a smart idea
No, and so yeah, he said oh it looks like Traveris Robinson who we played against when he was at South Carolina
Not Kevin steel who we played against when he was at South Carolina, not Kevin Steele, who we played against when he was at Auburn.
Nick came back on Monday and he's like, you know, Mississippi state.
We felt like they're a bigger challenge than the last game we played because they're
aggressive on defense.
And it's just like, oh, twist the knife.
I love that late link if it does is every Alabama week where he'll he'll like he'll talk some shit
But then he'll also be like Nick Sabin's the goat. Yeah, so he basically walks away a win-win
It's either he's talk shitting back and up or he lost the go. Yeah, but we know he likes to troll them
Yeah, but you gotta win one. Yeah, you gotta win one
It's and it's getting that it's sad. I saw what is it one in 18 against teams that eventually won nine games
Yeah, so you've got to start beating those teams. Yeah, I don't get
Why does it it's almost like he's like I'm not afraid to punch a horn. It's nest again
Like it's the dumbest thing ever. It's one thing to say it back it up and and that style isn't really built to beat Alabama
That offense they play
You got to be perfect almost to beat Alabama with that. So I saw their fans are like, well, you got to, how do we approach this game differently?
You don't because this is who you are.
Right.
But the problem is you're, you're a bad style matchup for Alabama.
Yeah.
Texas, let's say in the SEC.
Yes.
Um, we, we kind of talked ourselves out of Texas a little bit by the transit property of
Alabama having a down game against us.
So we're like, wait, did we Texas back ourselves after that win against Alabama? I talked to ourselves out of Texas a little bit by the transit property of Alabama having a down game against US stuff.
We're like, wait, did we text us back ourselves
after that win against Alabama?
But now since it looks like Alabama's good,
I think the pendulum for us has swung back.
Now Texas is legit again.
You think they're legit legit?
College football playoff legit.
I think they're very good.
Now, they've got to be Oklahoma,
but I look at what they did against Baylor, and I'm almost
more impressed with that than I am with Alabama, because Texas always got up for those games
like Alabama.
It was the games that they're supposed to win that they come out flat, but they kicked
the crap out of Baylor.
And like this week, they got an undefeated Kansas coming in.
Jalen Daniels looks amazing, but this is a team and it kind of started
at the end of last year with Kansas where Texas started playing those games like they
meant something.
And now I don't think they're going to take Kansas lightly.
They used to Texas used to always over the Kansas.
They lost to them two years ago.
They lost to them, you know, Charlie Strong's last year.
So it is possible, but I just think they're gonna keep showing up.
And the difference with Texas this year versus Texas,
really since 2009, is there are legitimate NFL players
on both sides of the line of scrimmage to Vondre,
Sweat, Byron Murphy, Alfred Collins on that D line.
Those guys are gonna be top three round picks in the NFL.
Yeah.
You know, they're left tackle, Kelvin Banks.
He's going to be a first round pick in 2025.
There's legit NFL talent on the rest of the offensive line.
JT Sanders is tied in is usually the best skill position player on the field.
Like, that's not what they've had.
They always got great recruits, but they never developed them in anything.
Now they've developed them and these dudes can play.
Yeah. So there's a one lost Texas team,
do they make the College of Football playoff?
I think so.
I think so.
It really depends on what happens everywhere else.
Like it's a Pac-12, I feel like,
is the big question mark.
The, listen, the Pac-12 is so deep.
It's crazy.
It's a 12 and one Pac-12.
Can't better make the play better.
Yeah.
Yeah, because you know they'll cannibalize them.
Oh, yeah.
But it is crazy how good the Pac-12 is. It's, like, it's awesome to see and sucks to see at the same time. I know because this is it
but Washington is just demolishing everyone they played. There's so much fun. Yeah, I did I did I
probably was probably mistaken, but I you know what I did I looked at their schedule and I was like,
oh, they don't have to go to Utah. I was I picked Oregon to win the league and I'm sticking by that. Now,
I could be proven hilariously wrong when they go to Seattle, but I think that's going to be a great,
it was great game last year. Yeah, what's great game. And so Utah is the wild card in that because
what happens if Cam rising comes back because their defense is good enough to play with anybody,
but their offense will not be able to hold up against Oregon or USC or Washington
unless camera rising.
Kyle Woodingham said after the UCLA game, he said that's the best my defense ever played.
And he's been there a long ass time with some really good defense.
Yeah.
I mean, that's a seven seven game if not for a pick six.
Yeah.
So, I mean, it was, it suffocated and that and that UCLA team can move the ball.
Yeah.
So I'm, I'm just it
It really sucks that this is it because this is what they were
Pointing toward this is what they've been working toward. I know and then like I don't think this is gonna be as fun
With Utah trying to win the big 12 title and with Washington and Oregon trying to you know They'll play each but it's, but it's for wherever they are within the big 10
Yeah, like relative to Ohio State and Penn State. I don't know how much fun that's gonna be counterpoint the big 10s back because
Well the standings right now I think God six out of the top nine teams with our big 10 teams. Yeah, future big 10 teams
The ones they grabbed. Yeah, cuz even UCLA is better right then they have been but been, the other three that they're grabbing from the pack 12 are awesome.
And probably we'll say that like,
obviously Caleb Williams won't play in the big 10,
but Lincoln always has a quarterback.
Yeah.
I trust Dan Laning to stock the roster at Oregon.
Caleb and DeBorre,
because they're moving to the big 10,
I don't know that anybody's gonna try to poach him from Washington.
Right.
I think now he can be at Washington as long as he wants and not feel like
Oh, there's somewhere else out there where I have a better chance to win a national title. Yeah, we got to go to a game at Washington
To it's so fun. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. Yeah, tailgate scene is actually very underrated. Oh, yeah
They got you can take the boats into after salgating. Mm-hmm. You got the team the rowing team
Like picks you up and rose you to the stadium. It's a lot like SEC football in terms of tailgate.
It's just different types of fish.
Exactly.
Sam and the catfish.
Yeah, you're moving away from red fish and red snapper and all that.
But yeah, no, I think Washington is so much fun and I'm so happy for Michael Pennick's
junior because this is a guy who had three season ending injuries in Indiana.
And he thought, oh, he's never going to be able to really have a good college career.
And he's been incredible.
Yeah.
He's been insane.
Their offense is insane.
So if you had to predict right now who's coming out of the pack 12 because it is all
these teams are going to have to play each other.
I think USC obviously has a little bit easier because they don't have to play the entire, whatever it is north. But who do you have coming out
of the pack 12?
I've still got to work. I like them because I like the way they're built on the lines
of scrimmage. It started with Chris DeBal, but then landing has come in and just improved
it. You know, they they went and got Josh Connerley away from USC is a, you know, five star
recruit. It came down to them in Oregon. He's there left tackle now
They go get Jordan Birch out of the transfer portal former five star guy who is at South Carolina like I like when people have
Special offensive and defensive lineman my motto is the people with the best big people always win. Yeah, so I'm sticking with Oregon
Okay, I like that the yeah, the patch. I mean we even mentioned Washington state is electric Kim Ward is awesome
Yeah, that I wasn't even bummed out when like I was bummed out the badgers lost to Washington,
but I also it was different than last year. I respected the fuck out of Washington. I knew
they're a really good team. I was driving to South Bend on Friday night from from here and
I almost texted you as Wisconsin's beaten up on Purdue to say, maybe you're Washington states just a wagon.
They are. Yeah, like I seriously don watching his states just a wagon. They are.
Yeah, like I seriously don't see that as a bad lot.
Like they are a very, very good team,
and Kim Ward is a problem.
Like he's a problem to Garth.
Yeah, and Jake Dickert's done a great job there.
And I appreciate that he keeps putting the screws
to everybody like, hey, you left us behind,
but look at what we do.
Look at how we show up, look at how we play, look at our fan base.
And I don't know that it amounts to anything tangible in terms of conference affiliation,
but I am enjoying them rubbing everybody's face in it.
What are they going to do?
Are they going to, I mean, the smart move would be keep the pack 12 brand and just make
the mountain west to pack 12.
That's what I would, that's what I've been saying since all that happened.
Since you saw Call and Stanford go to the ACC is, yeah, you keep the pack 12 name, intellectual
property, NCAA tournament money, all that stuff.
And then you merge with the mountain west, let the mountain west people run it, but you
call it the pack 14 or whatever, because the brand is stronger.
And it's there, it is there, like they went to court,
and the other PAC-12 schools can't do squat.
Like they have, basically they are the board of directors.
Yeah, so squalless.
The other schools would be like,
no, you can't have this after they leave.
Oh, they were gonna be like,
we're gonna take a little bit of money
to help ourselves move into these new conferences.
No, I'm squashing as they were,
so far as they're like, no, absolutely.
It's like David and caller daddy. Yeah, I was watching the state of Oregon. So far is it like no, absolutely.
It's like David and caller daddy.
Yeah, exactly.
They should get the merch rights.
They should.
Yeah.
What if Dave just put like the first game of the pack 12 season next year is just Dave
on a football field.
But they, the, the, the law that I'm hoping for that would be so funny is I saw someone
tweeted out I can't remember who it was, but basically Washington state and Oregon state
have two years. They could, they could just have a pack too.
Yes, for two years and no one could do anything about it.
So they just went to get an automatic birth?
No, and like in NCAA parlance, you do it based on,
do you get a bit of the basketball tournament?
You actually have to have five teams
to get the automatic bit of the basketball tournament.
So they'd have to do something,
but I would love it if they just were the
you gotta be the two pack. Yeah, you're like just have the the two pack hologram is your commissioner
I just like five times. Yes,
I was gonna just play once. Yeah, but in Vegas. Yeah. Yeah. Why not? Oh, that'd be so funny. Like put that
12 championship field out in Vegas. Yes. Play on it. Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now is playing in a real conference.
Yes.
So congratulations to them.
All right.
So give us your final four.
Because before the season started, you had you had Colorado and all four spots.
I did.
So I did.
I was I was in on D on early.
No, I the one I had and all been in one of my four spots.
I was Clemson.
I am ashamed to say.
And then they lost a Duke and they, I. And they put up a fight against Florida State.
But they're gonna need to retool their strategy.
I had a question about that.
Yeah, go ahead.
At what point does Dabo, like Keon Coleman from Florida State
who lit up LSU, who is a transfer from Michigan State?
At what point does Dabo watch these guys beat him?
And he's like, hey, this transfer portal thing,
that might actually be an asset.
I will give you an even better example of that.
What if Keon Coleman were on Clemson instead of Florida State?
Yeah, who wins the game?
Clemson, he's the one player.
Yes.
And so with dabbo, I know he doesn't want to do it.
Continuity is something that they use to their benefit for a long time.
They had a period of four years where they only lost seven players to attrition, so like
getting kicked off the team or just leaving.
And that's why they were winning so much, but the world has changed.
Like if you make recruiting mistakes, you can't cover them.
You have to develop somebody out of that if you're not going to just grab out of the portal.
They could still do this where they have people who leave because they're not playing
very much. So they have the spots leave because they're not playing very much.
So they have the spots.
So three, four spots a year.
Right.
Imagine if Clemson with all these future NFL players says, hey, want to fill our one gaping
hole here?
Everybody in the portal is going to want to be there.
Right.
So I don't think he has to change that much.
I think it's doable.
It's just not fixable this year.
It's also insane to me that you wouldn't use the portal specifically for the offensive line
because you can go out and get like a 23 year old who's who's who's got man strung.
A grown-ass man who's played volleyball most times. It's like why wouldn't you do that instead of
getting a kid who yeah you'll project to be a great offensive lineman but he's probably 40 pounds
too light when he comes on campus. Like these are the things that it feels very easy,
but Davo is resistant to chasing.
Yeah, because he worries he's gonna mess up the culture
and the chemistry of the team,
but I think it's,
if it's one or two, three guys a year in really key spots,
I don't think you're messing anything up.
Because that type of person,
and you'll have your choice, you can pick someone who's about what you want to be about.
Yeah, you also helps the culture is winning football games.
That helps in playing in big football games.
That will bring the guys together nicely.
But so my other three of my four still kicking,
Georgia was one, which we'll see,
I mean, they're not going to lose until the SEC Championship
game. I don't think they're going to be be challenged. I saw that, you know, I watched
that half time video from the South Carolina game. They're down 14 to three in Carson.
Beck's just winking at the camera. Like, no, they're not getting beat. So them, I have Penn
State coming out of big 10. I like that. I think their defense is out of this world good.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and then I, I still, now I don't know, I had Oregon,
but now I don't know if I should have Texas there.
Yeah.
And that's the probably, I find it very hard
to wrap my brain around that I have become
a believer in Texas as quickly,
because I was a big Texas skeptic for a long, long time. But again, going back to my the best big people win theory,
that's Texas right now. It sucks. We don't have a 12 team playoff this year.
This is the year. Yeah. Because you have the teams that all will like, there will be a two-loss team
probably out of the pack 12 or even the big 10 where you're like that team could compete for a national team.
And I did we're going to do this on the show every Monday for the rest of the year where
we project what the 12 team playoff would look like.
And so I had Penn State winning the big 10 and I had admission in Ohio State, both also
making it like a Michigan, Alabama first round match.
Right.
And Arbor.
And I'm so dumb.
I fucking love fake brackets.
Yes.
You could do a fake bracket across any sport,
and I will just imagine that game in my head
and be like,
it's like the high speed real map that goes by.
Yes.
It's like, look at him and be like,
oh, that'd be sweet.
And you could get from New York to DC,
and I want to have.
And you know what's gonna happen next year,
because we've had years like this,
where it's like,
there's two great teams in everyone else sucks.
Next year we'll probably have where it's like,
why are we doing a 12 team playoff? Oh. team sucks and all that this is the year. It's much like
the pack 12 are timing is off. My favorite is everybody's just getting pissed at me. Why is
Fresno stayed in there? I'm like because somebody has to be in there for the group of five. I
would love to see Fresno stay playing. I went to the hey, they've been awesome. They shot out
Arizona State and USC did not. yeah, they have been lights out
We're gonna get back to Andy in a second. He's brought to you by our good friends over at the farmer's dog
I love the farmer's dog Blake absolutely loves the farmer's dog
He houses his food. He's never been this excited to eat and he's doing great putting on weight
Getting big grown strong growing healthy and I think that the farmer's dog has a lot to do with it
The results of switching your dogs food from kibble to fresh can seem like magic when
a senior dog starts acting like a puppy again and the pickiest of eaters can't wait for
dinner time.
You might think some spells were cast.
True story, Blake would eat like maybe a quarter of his dinner.
He'd wander around the house for a little bit, get disinterested, I'd have to lead him
back.
Not anymore, he loves his farmer's dog food, eats it all in one sitting. The farmer's dog doesn't use any sorcery or secret ingredients to
make their fresh food. They just use science. But the farmer's dog makes and delivers fresh,
healthy dog food. It's developed by Vets. It's nutritionally balanced and it's made from real
healthy ingredients to human food safety standards. It's the best option for dogs at all life stages
because it's not kibble, it's not canned goo, it's just real healthy food. Traditional
dry and wet food dog options are highly processed, can use much lower quality ingredients than
they claim to and they're extremely difficult to portion accurately. The farmer's dog
isn't just fresh high quality food, they also send the food pre-portions specifically
for your dog based on their unique nutritional
needs.
It's super easy.
It just arrives at my door after I don't have to worry about monitoring the dog food
bag.
Seeing when he's about to run out, going out to the store, getting new dog food, driving
back with it.
Don't have to worry about any of that stuff with the farmer's dog.
They send it directly to your door and it's always on time.
A fresh diet has been found to have all sorts of benefits
from healthier coat and skin to better breath, even easier digestion and smaller, better
poops. His poops are great, super easy to pick up. A healthy diet isn't just important
for humans, it's also important for dogs. It doesn't matter if they're young or old,
it's always the right time to begin investing in their health. Help them live a healthy,
happy, and full life along
with you.
And you can get 50% off your first box of fresh healthy food at thefarmerstog.com slash
PMT.
That's 50% off.
Half off plus you get free shipping.
Just go to thefarmerstog.com slash PMT and boom, 50% off, that's thefarmerstog.com slash
PMT.
And now more Andy Staples.
All right.
So I mean, this has been a great college football season.
I do we do want to talk about Colorado.
Now we I wasn't surprised by the Dion hate that's coming.
Right.
And it's coming hard and fast right now.
And he even said he did a little bit of a to go to college basketball.
He did a little bit of a Dan Hurley like come get us now because we're never going to be this bad.
I appreciate it. I like that a lot. But overall, like the sentiment, you talk to coaches,
you talk to administrators. How does everyone feel about Colorado? Is it a, you know, rising
tides lifts all boats or people like we kind of hate this guy? No, they like him.
Okay. They, they realized they like it and there was a lot of kind of side
eyeing of Dion throughout the off season
because the way he handled the roster flip.
Yeah.
They did not like him kicking people off the team.
I think they didn't like him kicking people off the team
on camera because everybody else does that.
That's right.
He said the quiet part out loud.
It's a dabble.
This happens across the sport.
Yeah.
Dion was just up front and very, very happens. This happens across the sport. Yeah. Deon was just up front and very, very blunt.
Maybe overly blunt about it.
Yeah.
Like making it very clear from his first day there,
like you guys are not gonna be here.
But here's the thing.
On Saturday, on NBC, in prime time,
there was an Ohio State Notre Dame game
that came down to the final play.
More people watched a dog shit,
Oregon Colorado game that was over on the first play.
More people watched that than the Notre Dame last day.
I got to give Casey credit.
She said she predicted that.
Yes, she did.
And I was like, no way.
Yes, she was our guest picker on my show last weekend.
She said that on my show.
Yeah, come on.
Yeah, I had the same watch.
I was like, no fucking way. And then there the ratings come out. And it's like, how is this possible? Well, and imagine this week. Yeah, big noon kick off. So 10 a.m.
Local, I know they're gonna be the the waking bake factor in Boulder is gonna be incredible. Yeah, but Caleb Williams against this offense or against this defense. And now
Shadour Sanders should be able to do a little better against USC's defense than he did against Oregon. So like I think for college football, it would
be great if USC struggles with Colorado. If Colorado gives them a game, that is great for
the sport. If USC beats them 55 to 10, then we may not pay much attention to Colorado
for a year. Now I agree with Dion, they will be much better. Yeah.
Because that's one of those things
where the casual fan may sort of disappear for a little while,
but they're still working.
And here's the thing about Deon.
And this is the part I don't think
the haters of Deon get.
Deon is one of the few people
who is that level of former player,
who is willing to do the things you have to do and work the
way you have to work to be a good college head coach.
Yeah.
He's good at talent acquisition.
He's good at motivation and he's good at organization slash hiring assistance.
Do you know how just described urban Meyer and Davos we say not her med where you know
but urban Meyer and Davos we neither of whom were primary play callers at any stretch
before they became head coaches and one national titles because they're great at getting
good players, great at motivating them and the great at hiring assistants.
Shout out, my guy, Sean Lewis.
That's exactly right.
He's a good answer, badger, yeah.
Exactly, right.
And Sean Lewis can turn this into a better head coaching job than he would have gotten
as Kent State coach.
I know.
Yeah.
And so like I did a story with Sean last year when they were in that stretch, he was Kent
State's head coach and they had a stretch where they had to play at Washington, at Oklahoma,
at Georgia.
So they were always beat to hell by the time they got to Mac play.
And he just he would everybody knew he was a good coach, but he you could never sell that
higher if you're a power five program because they were never going to have the right record for it. Right.
If he's a OC at Colorado and he's
masking their deficiencies while also creating an offense that is functional against
decent defenses. Yeah.
Everybody notices that and he goes lightning fast.
That was his thing. It can't stay with his Colorado to do to get better.
Next your bigger people on defense. It's all the big people.
Yeah, but here's the thing.
Deon already started that.
So that Colorado State game,
when they got little Wayne leading them out of the tunnel,
when they got the rock there,
they had like an Alabama detackle commit.
They had big time offensive line recruits there.
And he's telling him, you can play next year.
And the difference between them
and the places those guys normally go Alabama, Ohio
State, LSU is you can't play right away probably in Alabama, Ohio State or LSU.
I have to work your way into it at Colorado.
You can step right in and play and you may struggle a little bit.
But if you're that talented, you're going to be pretty good by the end of the season.
And I still think beyond the ace up his sleeve that he has that no one else has is he
was like, if you watched his career, especially a Florida state, and coming out of the draft,
he was NIL before NIL.
Oh, yeah.
Can you play her first?
Oh, yeah.
You know, I need to be paid.
And the quarterback position doesn't get talked about.
So he can sit in all these living rooms and be like, my goal is to get your kid to the league
and to get him paid.
And that's the thing.
I don't think people understand because the people
who don't like Dion think he's just doing this for attention.
He could get attention doing anything.
Right.
He wants to be a coach.
Like, and he wants to be a good-
He's like, he's like,
he's already at a high school level.
Yeah, that's Jackson's thing.
Yeah, and it's funny because everybody's like,
how come you guys never talk about prime prepp? I's like, He's like, He's like, He's like, He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like, He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like, He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like,
He's like, He's like,
He's like, He's like,
He's like, He's like,
He's like, He's like, He's like, He's like, He's like, He's like, He's like, He's like, He's like, He's like, prime. So do you call him coach prime? It's a little weird. I don't know what I call on the
broadcast. Yeah, coach. What I call him neon. And so there's some coaches I call coach. And then
there's some coaches I call by their first. And then there's no rhyme or reason to it. Because
sometimes like if they're like Marcus Freeman's younger than me. So I'm not going to call him coach.
Like you know, Marcus, but some of the older guys, I'm just like, well, you look like somebody who might have coached me
back in the day, so I got, and then,
so I grew up in a house with a, you know,
a dad who was a high school assistant coach,
and so I was around high school football practices
growing up, and those people, all of them
call each other coach, like, they don't use names,
and sometimes they just speak in the language of coach,
like, it's sort of like I am Groot.
Basically, you, based on tone, you know what they're saying?
Coach.
Coach.
Coach.
Coach.
It's hard to say.
It's hard to talk about culture all the time.
The problem with Dion is that he's a first name guy.
He's like, Jack, like when you say coach Sanders,
I'm like, who are you talking about?
How about prime?
What if I just called him prime?
Do you think that would make him mad?
I think he should just be coach Dianne.
Okay.
Because Dianne is what like when you say Dianne,
you think of Dianne Sanders.
Absolutely.
But you don't think of his last name.
When you say Shaq, you think of Shikil O'Neil.
Like if Shaq was a coach, coach O'Neil would sound weird.
That would sound very strange.
Right.
So he's a first name guy.
Coach Diesel.
Coach Diesel, yeah.
Like I, I don't think that one name is son name is Son Coach because then they get immediate respect for everybody
that they talk to.
Well, I don't know.
I like it when they name them like president.
Yeah.
I think that's the perfect one or colonel.
Yeah.
Give them a title like a military title.
I like that.
For to say that I got any Mr. Alexander.
That's the ultimate respect.
You're always Mr.
Yeah. And the coach's wife is always miss
and then the first name, whatever that might be.
All right, so this weekend we got some good games.
LSU Mississippi.
Can Elaine win one of those?
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
I can't.
It's weird.
I've almost given up trying to predict what LSU will do
because I thought they'd struggle in Starkville
and they went and just bomb Mississippi State.
And they're like, oh, well Arkansas just lost to BYU.
They're going to struggle covering these LSU receivers.
They did, but I didn't think Arkansas would be able to score on LSU the way they were.
And that was just back and forth thing.
So I think LSU should be able to win this game.
I think they're just better up front than Ole Miss.
But again, it seems like everything I pick with LSU is wrong.
Yeah, what about, yeah, go ahead.
I was gonna say the Battle of the Nerds, Notre Dame, do it.
Yes.
Which asshole fan base is gonna be happier this weekend?
See, I don't feel like Duke football fans are like that.
They're the same.
They're the same.
They're not the same.
This is what I struggle with.
It's like when LeBron was in Cleveland,
I was like, no, calves, fans fans and browns fans aren't the same.
No, you're not the same.
They are, but they aren't.
Yeah.
No, Duke basketball is like, I imagine Duke basketball fans as a Duke basketball fan has
a Duke sticker, a New York Yankee sticker and an Alabama sticker on his car at the same
time.
It's actually Hank and he's Duke Patriots fan and a cowboy.
So it's a star, a lighthouse.
Yeah.
I had to get the lighthouse.
I'm sorry.
I don't know how much more lighthouse talk there will be on this.
This is light house.
Yeah, this is.
So, but now I, so I think the Duke, like I love the Duke football story, because I think
Mike Elko's done a great job.
Riley Leonard is awesome.
This is not the week they want to be playing Notre Dame.
Like they, they were probably praying.
Yeah.
That Notre Dame stopped Ohio State and was going to come in all fat and happy.
Because I was at South Bend yesterday. I talked to Audrey Gaston May last night.
Like they are bounced back. Yeah. And they're pissed off. Yeah. Yeah.
They need to get in hopes to give them a pregame speech. Yeah.
Harman. Duke is I think he can call Duke softly. All the dukes not soft.
No, they're not.
You saw them play Clemson.
They ain't soft.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
So my last question, I have the rowback question, RHO BACK.com.
He's promo code take 20% off your first purchase.
Qzips, polo, hoodie, joggers, shorts, everything.
Rowback.com promo code take.
Are you wearing rowback right now?
I am.
You are.
You are a rowback.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure. Yes. Okay. so we talked about all the big dogs.
What is it?
What's a team that you've got your eye on?
That you're like, ooh, this could be something.
Something's happening here.
They might not make the college football playoff,
but we could be talking about them at the end of the season
as either a spoiler or a 10 win team,
New Year's Day, you know,
table like something like that.
Miami.
Ooh, yeah, Miami's been like, yeah.
I'll go back to my big people thing.
Like go to the beginning of the season,
ACC Media Days, Mario Christopher Ball is there,
and he's usually pretty hard on his offensive line.
Like he doesn't say nice things about his offensive line
unless he feels really good about it,
and he was singing the praises.
Yeah.
And then you saw him get to A&M
and they protected Tyler Van Dyke very well.
They've been able to run the ball on everybody. And like, cause I couldn't figure out against A&M and they protected Tyler Van Dyke very well. They've been able to run the ball on everybody.
And like, because I couldn't figure out with A&M,
could they not get a pass rush going,
could they not tackle, or was it maybe Miami's just pretty good?
And then you see A&M against Auburn,
and they just shut Auburn down.
So I'm thinking maybe Miami's pretty good.
So in Miami's got Florida State, obviously still,
that there's a Miami North Carolina game that could be a lot of fun
Yeah, so Ray so yeah Francis Maui Noah. That's the name you need to know the the right tackle from Miami's a true freshman
Mario Chris ball says he has the greatest muscle density of any offensive lineman that has ever come through Miami
Which I actually believe Mario Chris about probably keeps that stuff.
That's a great quote.
I love when coaches talk about players like their horses.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The cupboard was bare in Miami.
Yeah.
They got there.
Like they did not have dudes.
Well, they've got a tackle who's been hurt, who started, I believe 36 games in his career.
And he's, once he comes back, that's great for depth, but they're doing great.
That group has improved quite a bit.
And if you could improve on the line of scrimmage that dramatically, you're a very different
team than what we saw last year.
Like Miami, they got their asses beat by Florida State last year.
That was embarrassing.
I don't think they're going to, they're that team anymore.
I love it.
Miami being back is a great thing for college football.
I got one last last question. Who do you think the best team just off the top of your head in the
Sunbelt Conferences this year? Sunbelt. You think Sunbelt. Well, well, PFT, I know you're
always talking about Sean Elliott's Georgia State Panthers there with overrated. They
got Chad Stags who'd been the DC at Coastal Carolina for a while. I was thinking about
that. You know, I know my Sunbelt ball. Of course it's J.M.U. That That's right and the NCAA still screwing them. It's fucked up. They could go undefeated this year
And they won't get it full and it's wrong. It's not it's wrong. It's very very party though. It's very very stupid
Yeah, I mean this college football season. I'm I just I'm so happy that there's it feels like we have so many good quarterbacks
To like I mean the patch of alone, but I think we're going to get this from now on. Because guys transferring.
Guys transferring in NIL, like Sam Hartman, Bo Nick's, and Michael Pinnix Jr.
all could be the NFL right now.
They probably were going to make the same amount of money
or more going back to college.
Right.
And so you see them go back for another year.
I don't know that it changes their draft stock.
Like Michael Pinnix's medicals will be what they will be.
Right.
But he will be a legend at Washington forever
I like this speech because everyone you know, there's a lot of older college football fans that have the hand ringing about the N.I.L
And the game has changed transfer portal. I we are going to get to see guys
I've told this story before but I like it really hit me when I week one I bet on
Louisiana Tech and I turn on the game and I fucking bad luck
I was like what what the fuck?
How do I get away from this guy?
But like, at least I know the names and it's kind of cool.
Well, and we're going to see in college basketball.
I know you're a big college basketball guy.
You're going to see more people stay and kind of like when we were kids, when we actually
knew who was on each team.
Right.
Football is going to be even more like that.
The difference is we may not know who's on each team.
We're going to know the players,
and they're going to pop around.
Yeah, but that's fine.
Like quarterbacks is long.
Listen, the quarterback dad complex,
they always, they make them do eighth grade twice
so the third of the right age and all that.
You got to make sure they graduate in three years.
That way you get that free transfer,
and then you get unlimited transfer,
so you can JT Daniels it and go. He's on the four different scores of years. He's on the right side. He's in everywhere. Yeah, that way you get that free transfer and then you get unlimited transfer so you can JT Daniels it and go
He's a four different
Right now, he's in everywhere. Yeah, yeah, no, I like I like seeing even the Badgers with Tanner Mordek
I like it's fun watching him play. I knew he was good watching with SMU. Now he's he's fun big
I'm telling you right now
They get a little more team speed in there. Yeah, and I know look fickle is gonna do that
I know that's gonna be a prior to working any off season.
That offense is gonna rip.
I got ahead of myself in the preseason.
Shocker for anyone who listens to this show,
I would never do that.
But I've taken a longer term approach
where it's like you can't even like a Dion who went three and oh,
but you can see that it's not, you can't flip an entire team
and make them at these, you know, just go on.
Here's the tamper with the best slot receiver
on every Sunbelt team.
Okay.
All right.
And just collect.
Yeah, just be like, hey, hey, you ever think
you wanna make a patee shirt?
Cause you know those dudes are fast.
They're gonna get on the board.
They're probably like, well, Dree Archer played the Mac,
but he's from Florida.
But like, there's a Dree Archer there, right? Who could be a star in that
offensive? Yeah. Okay. All right. Yeah. You ever think about
making some t-shirts? Yeah. I did that's kale Williams, probably
the most regrettable. I was like, dude, we can make so many
good t-shirts. So didn't didn't respond. Caleb Williams, people
understand like, Caleb Williams parents have been setting him up
to be the number one pick in the NFL drafts
And he was like eight years old. Do they realize that it's gonna be the pairs? I think I think they're okay with that
Yeah, I mean, it's crazy. He I know that they threw out there that he might stay that I
Spent all summer trying not to text you. Yeah, I don't think the fields things gonna work out
I don't want to burst your balloon. No, no, this already burst all that yeah, but but no
He's just trying not to plan the cardinals. Yeah.
Because the cardinals, they drafted Josh Rose
and threw him in the trash.
They draft Kyler and they're already abandoning and tanking.
So it will be the most hilarious thing in the world
if the Bears thanks to trading for that panthers pick.
Yeah.
And they get him.
Yeah.
Because the Cardinals are trying to suck
and not doing as good a job as a bear.
Get me excited how can't Mrs. Gail Williams
is the most can't miss since Trevor Lawrence
or Andrew Luck.
Okay.
Because the man makes magic.
Yeah.
And the things that he can do that are magical
are not things that you can't do in the NFL.
Right.
Because you'll see quarterbacks in college who do amazing things,
but you're like, oh, the first time he gets hit
by NFL players, he's gonna break in half.
Right.
Caleb Williams is a eyes down feel.
The things I do that are magic are in service
of throwing the ball down the field.
Right, it's my home's ass.
Yes, very, very similar, different arm angles,
that sort of thing. And here's the thing, whoever gets the number two pick.
Also the bear's break made.
Well, they should draft which draft both the heavy competition.
I'm saying that run two quarterbacks in the same offense.
Yeah, because Drake May is going to be good in the NFL to the old Lloyd car.
Yeah, just switch back and forth.
Oh, it's it is very exciting to see this because these two are these two are so much fun to watch and
Any other year if Caleb Williams wasn't there like Drake may would be so obviously the number one pick in the draft
Yeah, but Caleb is so like I knew when Caleb is a freshman at Oklahoma
That game against Kansas where there's the fourth down play and his backs got the ball
But he's not to the line to gain yet and Caleb just steals it from
Yeah, he just has these instincts that nobody else has.
Yeah, special, special.
Okay, I'm excited now.
Well, Andy, everyone go check out Andy on three network.
You can find him on YouTube podcasts.
How many podcasts a week are you doing three?
Six right now?
Six?
Yeah, during the season.
Holy shit, that's too many podcasts.
Damn.
I don't know.
I would talk about this with my friends anyway,
so I may as well just turn the mic on.
Do you look at having conversations with people
like this is wasted time right now?
Exactly.
I could be podcasting.
We could be recording this.
These words could be monetized.
Yes, I'm very transactional like that.
Do you ever find yourself missing Ari,
reminding you that stars matter?
Oh yeah, Ari Wasserman, my former co-host
at the athletic always reminding me
stuff. But here's the thing, here's what people don't get about that. When I got hired
sports illustrated in 2008, it was to cover recruiting. Right. So I've always known that
stars matter. But he to his credit, he branded it well. It's funny that people are now figuring
it out. Like, hey, the best recruits, the best recruiting class will be the team that wins
now. What I love is when people get so mad about it. I know. People want in their minds to believe
that a team full of gritty three stars can win on hard alone. Yep. Stars. Absolutely not.
Stars. Yeah. It's me a six foot seven three hundred fifty pound guy who played basketball until his
junior year of high school and only played football for a year, but now he's a third year junior and he's dominating everyone.
Yeah.
I like right after the draft when they talk about how he three stars are worth.
It's like, yeah, but like 90% of the five stars got draft.
Right.
There's 32 five stars a year and there's two thousand three stars.
Right.
Right.
Who's in charge of the star system?
Well, our guy is Charles Power at on three.
He's the one who ultimately decides what stars you get
and the politics of all that.
Yeah, I feel so bad for those guys, because they're,
you know, and they're trying their best
and but they've got the players hitting them up,
the parents hitting them up, the coaches hitting them up.
It's a, it's a weird deal.
It's such a weird little subsection of sports
that people who love college football
understand and no one else knows exists. But it's the most intense because you get that dude who
is convinced he's a five star and he can't get that fifth star. He will be just all over you until
you get it. And I feel for those guys because they are fielding those phone calls and those DMs
constantly. Yeah. Constantly links to their hud fielding those phone calls and those DMs constantly.
Yeah.
Just constant links to their huddle tapes and all that shit.
Yeah.
Well, I get the huddle tapes sometimes too.
And that's fun because like, so I, when I was at Florida, Jacque was green.
Was there in Jacque was is a high school coach in in Braydenton, Florida.
Now he's got a kid named Ian who I can't remember his last name, but his nickname is big
chicken. He's a detangle. I like that. kid named Ian, who I can't remember his last name, but his nickname is Big Chicken.
He's a detangle.
I like that.
And I don't know that he, I don't know where he falls in the star system.
I think he's younger anyway.
But I just love his name, Big Chicken.
And he's this giant dude who squats like 600 pounds.
Yeah, makes it, it makes it pop.
So thank you, Big Chicken, for sending me your huddle tape.
Yeah.
Yeah, shout out Big Chicken.
Marietta Georgia, the Big Chicken. I, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,dunk. Marietta is like suburban, suburban,
is that's what the big boss man in W.S.
He's a correctional officer from Cobb County, Georgia,
which makes Alex out of the country.
Oh no, it's the most suburban of suburban.
Yeah, all right, well Andy, thank you as always.
You are the best, great see you in person.
Hopefully next time you come visit us,
our new office will be open.
And hopefully you have like 70 extra pounds because you look too good. Yeah, he does listen. I will count
calories with anybody who wants to count. me and Colcubelix my calorie counting buddy
now from the SEC network. My wife got me on it like two years ago and yeah, he put it
in there. When I said I was losing weight, I don't know, the 20 million time I said I was
gonna lose weight like two years ago. Andy Text me, he's like,
all you gotta do is you gotta get your Apple Watch setting
and you gotta burn 1500 calories a day.
And I was like, okay, okay, this will be easy.
And then I went to the gym for like an hour
and it was like, you've burned 350 calories.
You can't walk on the treadmill, you gotta do it.
Where's the 30, 4, 30?
That's so many calories you burn everything.
Well, I don't burn that many every day,
but I count all the ones I eat.
Okay.
So what that does is it keeps you,
like when you would just grab a bag of potato chips
before, you never do that again.
Yeah.
Because you're like, this is 300 calories
that I will never, you think about
how long that is on the treadmill.
Yeah.
Okay.
I was golfing with Big Cat the other day.
Actually, the Ryder Cup video just came out today.
Beautiful.
And his watch went off on the second hole
It was like 10 a.m. Yeah, it's like congratulations your exercise ring is close
I had somebody text me about that because they're trying to get into it. They're like they send me their their rings and their
Their goal was 500 calories a day. I'm like dude. You just do that breathing. Yeah
Move up a little on a Sunday. I don't even come close to that. All right. Well Andy. Thank you as always
And we'll definitely have you back on before the season's over by pleasure. Thanks Andy
Andy Staples is brought to you by Bush Mills. Did you know?
That the bush mills distillery is the world's oldest see oldest whiskey distillery in the world
They came first Bush Bush mills, Irish whiskey, bush mills earned a license to distill and 1608 from King James
the first. There were other licenses to distill whiskey that were granted around
Ireland, but none of those distillers have survived. Only bush mills has
survived until today. Not only is it the oldest, but bush mills has been making
single malt whiskey longer than anyone. The best of both worlds, bush mills is a smooth,
triple distilled Irish whiskey,
but with the complexity of a single malt,
which is why bush mills is Ireland's most awarded single malt whiskey,
can chart your own course with bush mills.
We had some out in the golf course the other day.
So tasty, it fueled Hank in my furious comeback during the silent scramble.
Things didn't turn around for us until we had a little bush mills in our body.
Then boom, we're shooting lights out.
Bush mills is awesome.
It tastes so good.
Bush mills, I'd like, can you send me some bush mills?
I will drink it.
I will drink bush mills.
I love it so much.
Bush mills the official whiskey of the PGA tour.
Bush mills the official whiskey of the PGA tour.
And now here's one question with a fullback with Andrew Beck.
Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest.
It is Houston Texans fullback Andrew Beck for one question with the fullback.
So we're all going to ask a question that you get a question.
I'll start your punt return or sorry kick return this weekend. So for people who
missed it, he was Andrew Beck was technically in the last 50 years the heaviest guy.
You're not fat, but the heaviest guy to return a kickoff for a touchdown. And he
did it at 255 pounds, returned to kick against the Jaguars. So my question though is
watching it. How surprised were you while returning in
and at one point where you like, holy shit,
I'm going to the house because it looked like
you were more shocked than anyone else.
I mean, as soon as it went up, I was excited.
I was like, this is my ball, 100%.
Because I played with B-Mac in Denver before this.
He's a kicker for Jacksonville.
So before the game on, it sounds like, hey, man,
don't try anything with like,
like, push kicks or anything like that. He's like, no, man, don't try anything with like push cakes or anything like that.
He's like, no, man, wouldn't kick it short to you. This whole game promised sure enough,
like second or third one goes up. See you go up. I'm like, man, this is mine. 100%. And
that kept just carrying. And I was like, we're not supposed to step back, but I've committed
at this point. So I take a couple of steps back and I hear Mike like running towards me
and then right before
he bumps into me, he's like, oh, me, me, me.
I'm like, oh, there's none I can do about it now.
I'm committed.
I've stepped back to return the ball.
So drop it.
And he heard me say something that I'm not going to say to y'all, but my mother's going
to watch this.
She get mad if I said it on the radio.
But pick it up.
And as soon as I made those first three guys, guys miss and turn the corner,
I saw where everybody was because they could dented to try and make a play when I dropped
a ball.
I was like, I can get to this corner.
I might be able to score.
And as soon as I got over the first defender, I was like, Oh, I'm getting to the house 100
percent because I knew I was going to get the corner.
I'll be back.
I have to go on the kicker or I had to go back to the locker room right after that.
There was no doubt. And then got down the sideline, felt have to have one on the kicker. Or I had to go back to the locker room, right after that, there was no doubt.
And then got down the sideline,
felt like a thousand yards later,
crossed the goal and I turned around
to Breven George's another tight end,
it's standing there.
He's like, I mean, you did it like,
woo, let's go and I was just looking,
I was like, are there any flags?
You should have no flags.
How did it go in Crazy?
It was really, really cool feeling.
That's cool.
That's great.
What a cool story.
My question was going to be, as a fullback,
you probably don't have a touchdown celebration planned.
So when you get into the end zone,
what goes through your head?
Did you think of a celebration do in the moment
or have you gone back since then be like,
damn, you know what, I really wish I'd done the thing
where I pretend to unscrew the top of the football,
chug it, spike it.
Are you having second doubts about yourself?
I'm mad. How legendary without a bet? I got a text job beforehand. through the top of the football, chug it, spike it. Are you having second doubts about yourself? Man.
How legendary without a fan?
I got a text job beforehand.
Y'all got to come up with celebrations
and celebrate people.
Like stone cold football.
Like chug a beer slammer.
I'm being incredible.
I wish.
Man, I was so focused on trying to breeze
because what people don't understand is,
I'm on the kickoff team too.
So my first thought, I thought like hug,
brevin' and started celebrating the guys
is I'm about to have to run down
and cover another kick man
What am I gonna do and I went into our special stage quarter
He's celebrating. He's so excited. I couldn't even celebrate when I looked in den the eyes. I was like Frankie
I don't know how I'm gonna cover this kick man. What are we gonna do is like I'll get you a blow for this since you got the touchdown
But that was the only thought was going through my eyes like no flags go catch your breath because we saw got like another
Basically half to play and how the hell am I going to cover this kick?
That was it. Yeah.
I'm going to plant some man unscrewing the top of the balls tough.
I got to do that next time.
Get a half one in your back pocket.
Yeah.
All right, Jake.
Hey, Andrew Jake, Marge part of my take podcast.
My question is, if a running back runs and a wide receiver receives, why is a
full back called a full back?
Wow.
It's got to go back to the weight thing, right?
Like halfback, fullback.
I wanted to Google it before this,
but I didn't want to spoil it for anyone.
I think it's cause why it's like,
is there a reason?
I think there's an action look right now.
Is it because they got an ass on them?
Yeah.
That's all we're gonna go with.
Yeah, it's a fullback.
It's gotta be the weight thing.
Yeah. Is the running back for about half of what I with. Yeah, it's a fullback. It's gotta be the weight thing. Yeah.
Is the running back so about half of what I weigh.
What, and a quarter, I think it's because a fullback
is lined up fully in the back field.
Halfback is lined up.
Actually, no, that doesn't make sense.
Cause a quarterback.
No, I was gonna say.
It's a quarterback and then a fullback and then a half,
that makes no sense at all.
It's gotta go back to like the old like wing tee days
or wish fun days or something like that. There's definitely a real a real answer that 100% I'm not the one to ask yeah
This isn't this question doesn't count for one question to a fullback
But we do give a trophy out every year to the best college football fullback
It's called the low-man trophy and so we've been doing that for the last six years
We would like it if you would be on the committee to nominate and vote on who the best fullback in the country is do you accept the honor?
100% would be my honor.
I love it.
I love it.
The committee grows.
And we'll get an answer for you on the fullback.
Yes, there's a fullback in football gets named because it's behind or back of the quarterback.
But the half back, that doesn't make sense.
That's the whole explanation I see.
Yeah.
Okay.
Taylor Swift fans, we're going to come up with a better one than that
Max Hi Max producer part of my take here
There's a play that's circulating the NFL right now that is garnering a lot of controversy
It's called the Tush push. I don't know if you've ever heard of it
People are really upset about it and want it out loud and I want to know why those people are wrong
So it's gotta be about like the QB sneak stuff, right?
Yes, yes, obviously I read it from the Eagles and stuff like that I want to know why those people are wrong. So it's got to be about the QB sneak stuff, right?
Right, yes.
Yes.
Obviously I read it from the Eagles and stuff like that.
I mean, we did it in the game last against Jacksonville.
I come back and I pushed CJ.
That's straight on paper.
And so we opened up a hole and CJ almost got assassinated by the linebacker.
Because nobody, you can't get to the second level of the block. So I pushed him right into the linebacker. I don't know if it's the bed. Like it looks great on paper
until you run it and even CJ was like man that sucked when he popped up like he got the first
down to do doesn't mean that but no I'm here for it. I'm here for it. I you know what it's man it's
such a cool play to watch. It's like a major rugby
vibes like the scrum and everything like that. It's like old school gladiator style, man. I should
do it every play. Yeah, I agree. Before you are. I think they could get down to the field.
To the field. To be the entire way down the field. I think they could. If they ran it from the 25,
they could average 2.5 yards per carry and just bleed the car like a 12-minute drive. Yeah.
I'm a possession of being insane.
It was.
The team can't win it, they don't touch the ball.
Yeah, it's your army football.
Yeah.
So our other producer, Hanky,
isn't here yet.
So I'm going to ask Hank's question for him.
He sent me this question before the interview.
So you were the Patriots in 2019 for a cup of coffee, right?
You were there a little bit.
How was it?
Hank wanted to know how awesome the old lighthouse was at Gillette
Stadium. Did you get to see the old lighthouse that looked over the field? I mean, I don't know.
I was so busy trying not to mess up anything back there. Like the whole building, the tension,
so high, I don't even think a guy ever looked up. Sounds like it was forgettable. It was a
lighthouse. Yeah. I mean, I tell people the same thing.
Like when they ask about how your time there was like, I probably learned more about football
and like playing the game in the 15 minutes I was there that I had in years leading up to
that just because the intensity and the demand they have on their guys.
And I mean, little did I know it's just kind of an NFL thing.
Like we got here.
And it's the same way y'all were mentioned earlier, like how Dmitco is and how intensive
a guy he is. It's the same thing with him. It was the same for my, you know, Tom and Denver
of, you know, however that went, but, but, you know, I, it's, I guess getting back to the
light house man. No, I can't think of it.
It was forgettable. That's why I'm here.
Forgettable.
You were all sort of in a tough situation.
They brought you in.
You were filling in for, it was like right after Devlin left,
too.
And that dude was a fucking tank at fullback.
So we actually, we overlapped a little bit.
Like I was there with him for, it was,
he got hurt that season, like that I was there leading into.
So I get to learn a little bit from him and one of the best dudes I've ever met, such
a great dude, and an absolute unit at fullback.
Yeah.
Like the full, our last preseason, there were three fullbacks on the roster that preseason.
There's me, Yac, who's in, I think he's still in Vegas with the Raiders, who was last
year. And, uh, and Jimmy D, and Jimmy D with a Necro obviously.
Yeah, yeah.
Straight.
And none of us did, but for the last preseason game,
if you look, he did.
So all three of us did.
It was actually pretty cool, man,
but it was like the only game that I ever did.
That was the coolest thing, dude.
That thing's damn near Cheek Coke.
Yeah, I love your headroll.
Yeah, snap back, man.
It was great.
I loved it. The Necro. The roll speed run through people with that thing on cowboy collars the old school face mask
I love everything but
I'm back in this. Yeah, all stocks pads. Yeah. Sorry. So that's a good answer. The the life house was completely forgettable almost like it wasn't there
Which is like the opposite of what a lighthouse is supposed to do. Yeah, a light house. Supposed to let you know exactly where it is.
Well, Belichet hates to look at me guys,
and that's what a lighthouse by definition is.
Right, right.
All right, so do you have a question for us?
Yeah, man, but I don't know if you're going to answer.
OK.
So of all of the active NFL players that you've fed on,
like I saw you had orders of the store a little bit ago,
most disappointing interview you've had.
Jackfrest got.
Yeah, that's pretty easy. That's pretty easy.
That's pretty easy.
Yeah.
Monty, what makes you call it?
No doubt about it.
No, not even a question.
That was so easy.
You didn't even have to say like active NFL players.
Well, my but damn arena.
What's the word?
Yeah.
If it was just playing.
If it starts with DA, we don't want to show.
Yeah.
That's incredible.
Wait, did you first say, what was it? What were the destroyer? Oh, yeah, man. The towels. We don't want to show yeah
Was it warrior the destroyer. Oh, yeah man the towels. That's what you call
Tows you don't see the towels that he had when he was in it was when he was like first drafted right Yeah, those are the destroyer towels that he's just been around
I didn't know that was a thing until when I was in the wingland
Somebody kept putting them on his spot in the meeting rooms, they had hundreds of them.
And every day, we just put a hoar to destroy the tower.
He's like, he's doing this.
And I don't know if they ever found out.
I don't know if it was a Quimmy guy or something like that.
It might have been stedom.
He's a stedom's rookie year too.
But yeah, man.
Oh my god, I'm looking right now.
Yeah.
We got started calling him hoar to destroy it.
I'm gonna be the destroyer.
And his real name's Axel.
He's way cooler than he lets on.
Jorge the destroyer.
I don't know if you remember that we were there
at the same time.
He's a little bit further along his career than I was at the time.
But yeah, he's a good guy to be around.
Has that, well, I can't ask another question,
but I'll just pose it out there like.
It can ask me.
Oh yeah.
Like, is it ever weird like seeing a guy
that you played on the same team with
and you have to like reintroduce yourself?
That's a good question.
I was thinking about that.
I don't know if anybody else in the room
has a chance for that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
It's a worth, or it's almost as bad as like,
when you walk out to him and you're like,
he's definitely gonna remember me.
We play together for a while.
And you're like, hey, great, great man.
Good to see you.
And he's like, huh?
He's like that blank face.
Like that he looks that you like I'm supposed to know you from somewhere
face.
He just gives you the generic answer.
Like, yeah, man, good luck the rest of this year.
You're like, Tommy, you didn't have a clue who I am.
That's tough.
Big Cat, what about like hypothetically,
if you were on an NFL team and you switched teams
a couple times, like, would it take a while for you
to relearn brand new hand shakes with every team that you go to
because you build up these hand shakes that you invent with your teammates. You're like, fuck, I
can't use those hand shakes anymore. I got to learn new ones.
Well, Andrew, you were just telling me about that, right?
A hundred percent. Yeah. No, I'm obviously, I'm a big handshake guy. Yeah. So everywhere
you go, having the make of new handshakes, sure that's a pain. Yeah. I delegated this
point. Someone's like, man,
we got to get a handshake like DPR running back here is like, man, we got to get handshake. I was like,
man, you're definitely the guy to come up with it, too. Let's go. I want to see what you got.
That's where I'm at now. Yeah. Smart. All right. Well, Andrew, thank you, man. We really
appreciate it. We got to come maybe we were just talking to the PR guy come down to Houston. We've
actually been talking about maybe grit week next year doing a little Texas.
So maybe get back on the show and you now are part of the low man trophy committee.
So congratulations.
That's a huge honor.
I'm a huge honor.
Yes.
I'm a blue blower.
I appreciate you guys, man.
Thanks.
Thank you all for having me.
I'm excited for the committee too.
Let's go.
Yeah.
The trophy is back in the comeback, man.
They are.
They truly are. The trophy is literally just a tire and sometimes we nail a a beer can to it. It's the gritty strofe in sports.
That is a necessity. I'm denying anybody if we don't add the beer can as a permanent attachment
to the trophy. I like it. I like it. I like it. All right, man. Thanks so much and run, run some more
kicks back. Yeah. I want to see more. Bring back the fullback. Yeah. Do some dives.
Old school. I don't have to.
Yeah. Alright, thanks man. See ya.
Yeah, job.

Hey, PMT. So where for the Cincinnati Reds? And as we were shutting down the stadium after
the last game of the year
There was a woman crouching down by a fence that needed to get moved
Okay, I walked up to her and said excuse me ma'am I need to move you and as it turned and as I said it
They turned around and it was a dude. Oh, oh the long hair and jeans completely threw me off do not recommend
This is very awkward kind of like PFT to be honest. What was it last part?
Kind of like PFT to be honest. What was it last part?
Kind of like PFT to be honest. Okay.
Well, it sounds like a handsome guy.
I would say that yeah, it happens and you can't let it affect you if you've long hair.
It's probably been, I don't know, eight months.
I get it like twice a year.
I'll be at a restaurant.
Someone will come up behind me.
What can I get you ladies?
Excuse me, man.
Would you like another drink?
I've never gotten it.
Yeah.
Well, you know offense max, but I've never gotten it. Yeah, well, you know offense max, but,
never gotten it.
Wolf, because you probably,
you get more like, hey, what's up, Miss?
What position do you play on the softball field?
Catcher?
I don't know if you just heard me
I said I've never gotten it.
Yeah, no, you get that instead.
No, I mean, no, it's still, that would be the same thing.
Spinzone, PFT, I think part of why you get it is you got a good ass. I do have a good ass right there was one time
I was in I was in South Carolina. I was at a grocery store. Oh, no
What Hank just too small to
Okay, that's very funny. You also don't have a beard. I don't have a beard
Let's say come on let's back up my boy. Thanks Matt back off my boy
Again, this is like when big Cat got upset about Sam Howell.
I'm not going to take anything Hanks says personally today
because he's mad about his lighthouse.
His lighthouse is like your Justin Fields.
That's how much he loves this fucking thing.
Yeah.
Oh, no, no, no more.
Well, I hope he comes to reality about it soon.
But yeah, I was in a grocery store one time
in South Carolina and I was in like the deli section
and I was reaching, I was bending over
to get something out of the frozen thing
that was in the middle.
And then I turned around and the deli guy
behind the counter was just looking at my ass.
And then I looked at him and he looked at me and he was like,
oh no.
And I was like, you were just looking at my ass, weren't you?
I love you.
And he's like, no, no I wasn't.
I was like, it's okay, I got a good dump.
He's like, no, I swear to God I wasn't,
but he was so embarrassed.
But yeah, it happens occasionally.
Listen, it comes with territory.
I'm secure in my sexuality.
That's all.
It's never happened to me from the front.
I'll say that.
Facts.
Yep.
Except when you dress up like a woman
like four times in one month.
No, I was like three times in four years.
No, there was a stretch.
I got asked to be a bride's maid
and Dana Bears wedding.
What am I gonna say?
No Dana Beer's?
Ugh.
All right, Hank.
My girlfriend asked me to take the garbage out before work.
I threw the garbage in my trunk
because I was too lazy to carry it all the way to the dumpster.
Two days later, I had no idea
when my car was in a straight lane fill.
Until I opened my trunk and found the garbage
still sitting there, I'd put the garbage in the trunk
and somehow just drove to work
and forgot to drop it off the dumpster. I had to remove my trunk carpet and soak it in soapy water still smells like shit.
I probably thought you committed a murder. This is such a relatable move.
Like the moving of boxes or garbage. I just do, I like gradually get there.
Yeah. Where it's like, oh, I'll get it, I'll get it to the door. I'll get it to the garage.
I'll get it to the, it's, or the other move that guys do,
I think everyone here does it.
Like when you have something in your car
and maybe it's in your back seat
and you're just like, I'll just get it later.
Like why wouldn't I just get it now?
It's the very definition of out of sight out of mind.
Yeah.
Like you took the garbage and you put it away,
just not in the right place, but it was gone.
Like sometimes us as guys we don't have, was it object permanence where if you don't see something
then it doesn't exist.
Yeah, that's the mindset with trash.
My golf clubs have been in my car since we last golf.
There's no reason for them to be in there, right?
No, I just don't want to take them out.
Yeah, because then it's like one extra thing I have to do.
Hey PMT boys, this is even more relatable but even worse.
I was using my parents' shower the other day
and I broke the shower head off
and put it back up with the electrical tape.
They don't know that it broke.
What should I do if they eventually find out?
I'm also just living in a constant fear
that it'll fall off again while they're using it.
Yeah, I mean, they're gonna find out.
Yeah, I think you just don't say anything.
Yeah, I don't know.
Some guy came in and was working in the bathroom.
The guy broke into the house and took a shower.
And the guy broke into the house, broke the shower and fixed it.
Isn't this the plot of the cat in the hat?
This is just don't worry about this one.
Yeah, I mean, nobody uses those shower handles anyways.
Yeah, that's the bigger question is why we're using the handle.
Yeah, this is also back to the outer side of the mind.
This is a future you problem.
Yeah, don't trust. Yeah
All right last one that was it or you know what you can do you can you can go take another shower
Pretend to slip grab the handle and go I'll be like yeah
I almost fell on my head, but good thing that shower handle was there. I reached out grab it
I'm sorry that it's broken, but the the alternative was I cracked my head open in your bathroom. I've broken probably
every single towel rack that I've ever had in my life.
That, I don't know if you guys have that happen.
I've broken a couple.
Just a little bit of weight,
which is your stuff in the towel in.
I never do the fold, every guy does the stuff.
Yeah, the stuff is a terrible move.
That's why I've moved on to hooks.
Yeah, hooks are so much easier now, but I've
I've definitely had a lot of towel racks. I broke a toilet one time in a bathroom and
It was like a the mom over friend and I went over I took a crap and I sat down and I sat down too hard on it the entire back of the toilet
Shattered in half the toilet flooded the bathroom with water. It started dripping through the basement ceiling.
I had no explanation for why.
But, spin zone, that is kind of how like a porno could start.
Yeah, that's true.
Hey, you need some help with these pipes?
Yeah.
All right, numbers.
Three.
One.
69.
20.
18.
Memes, have you ever gotten it?
No. Okay. Two. 38. 18. Memes, have you ever gotten it? Nope.
Okay.
Two.
38.
38.
38.
38.
By the way, everyone, three, we're on schedule.
The soundproof doors have been delivered to the, have shipped to the new office.
We're on schedule.
The countdown begins.
I think we are, after this week, we are three weeks away from our new digs our permanent home
I couldn't be more excited. Yeah, thank you to everyone who's just dealt with
Whatever this visual is and the flushing there it is
And the flushing pipes and this small
Very very unrealistic camera perspective where I look short
Do you say love you guys? Huh?
