Today is Wednesday, October 7th, and the Heat are dead.
Not dead yet.
The Heat are not, no, H-E-A-T-D-E-A-D.
It is, it's unseasonably cool.
The Heat's not dead yet.
We could have another Heat Wave come back.
I think that if they win the next game, I think that they might make it to game six.
They gave it their all.
They tried very, very hard.
Valiant effort from BAM to come back from injury.
There's no way that he's a hundred percent.
But they didn't count on the Lakers' best player, Kentavius, called both Pope.
And the referees as well.
ACP.
Yeah, the rest, yeah, whatever.
I mean, the Lakers get every call.
You just got to know that's going to happen.
They also didn't count on Mark Jackson breaking out the best call.
Maybe in the history of sports, not all heroes wear capes.
No, it wasn't.
That would have been great.
What he actually said was, a hero isn't just a sandwich.
Oh, nice.
Even better.
I actually liked that.
He zigged on us.
We didn't expect that.
But yeah, I don't know, man.
This is, the Heat, it's unfortunate because I'm not going to make excuses and say that
this doesn't count as a finals win for LeBron.
But you got to think that if Dragach played this game, they, Pete would probably win.
Absolutely.
I mean, we can all agree on that.
And not to mention BAM out there with one arm.
And it's not fair to have KCP all of a sudden be good, right?
Like that's not cool.
Also, I think I got hit in his dick.
Like, dude, we've seen your dick.
And it's October.
And it's October.
Right, Hank.
There are no fans there.
No fans.
It's October.
Who cares?
It is October.
All right.
So also LeBron is very rested having taken the, the 10 seconds off prematurely in the
last game.
Yes.
So you get a very load management is what they call that.
And LeBron, look, here's where it's illegal to me.
LeBron, you can't just start making your free throws.
That was a joke we had.
We were going with it.
You missed your free throws now.
You sucked a free throws.
Now he's all of a sudden making them.
I feel robbed of some joy there.
Also just one last spin zone on this game, looking at the Lakers roster.
You had all the starters, plus minus, Anthony Davis was plus 17, Dwight Howard plus three,
Danny Green plus five, KCP plus eight, LeBron James minus two.
We're not cherry picking that.
That's an actual stat.
Are the Lakers better without LeBron?
That's what many are asking.
I don't know.
If you put in Rondo and said LeBron, he's a plus eight.
They probably went by a hundred.
Either way, it was a good game though, like the heat.
They tried.
Good job.
Good effort.
Good job.
Good effort.
That's what he said.
I think it was like last Friday night.
He said like that was a solid performance by the heat and a loss.
All right, Jake, we'll give you 30 seconds to tell us how you feel about your heat.
It's a big night for Jake.
He had the heat die at the end.
He's got the Yankees losing their pinstripes.
It's bad night.
Oh, Jean-Carlo Stanton hit a ball to the fucking moon.
That guy, when he hits home runs, like him, he and Aaron judge, when they get a hold of
one, it's awe-inspiring.
So there are two on no out in the top of the ninth right now as you record this.
Quickly, Jake, give us something about the heat.
They are not dead yet.
We're going to hear from Chris Bosch in a little bit.
He believes in the culture.
Well, he did say they were going to win game four.
They didn't.
They did not.
However, they are going to win this series in seven games.
It would make me happier.
My darling Jake, if they're if LeBron blew a 3-1 lead, that would be something we would
never forget that.
Mike, then these would be the most important playoffs of the world.
We'd all agree.
Right?
Oh, absolutely.
Yes.
All right.
So baseball, we're going to do more NBA finals with Chris Bosch in a sec.
Baseball in a plot twist that I didn't see coming.
I think as a podcast minus Jake, because Jake plays the game the right way, we all
came to an independent thought today, legitimately, like I was down in Dallas, so I wasn't even
here.
I came back.
I had this conversation with someone earlier and then I came back.
You guys are having this conversation.
I think we're going to root for the Astros.
I'm 100 percent rooting for the Astros.
They just I hated that fucking fight.
I hated that Korea quote, and I was like, fuck these guys.
But now they've won a couple and they're starting to hit dingers like they did.
Like George Springer had two today.
I think Korea had two the other Monday.
It would make so many people angry.
Yes.
And so many Yankee fans angry and so many Dodger.
Like it would make so many people angry that I think we have to root for that now.
I think they're cheating again, which is what I said they should do when they got caught.
They should just do the exact same thing they did last year.
Right now is the time where nobody's going to expect them to be cheating.
They're like, oh, the Astros, they learned their lesson.
They're afraid to get surely they won't install another buzzer system using vibrators that
they keep between their butt cheeks when they step up to the plate.
No, I think that they are cheating and I am all for it.
I hope that it's Yankee's Astros and I hope they beat the Yankees and then I hope they
play against the Dodgers.
At that point, I'm not sure if I'm going to root for the Astros or the Dodgers, but I'm
probably going to root for the Astros.
Yeah, I it's one of those ones where I in theory, it's funny.
Here's where I want.
Here's where I'll land on this.
I want the Astros to get to the World Series.
I do not want them to win because then you got to think about the other side of this
this fence here soon as we get the other side, then Astros fans are going to be insufferable
and be like, yeah, well, we deserve it.
We're the best.
We didn't even need to cheat this time.
We can't have that.
Well, so I want them to bother everyone and then ultimately lose so that we can shit on
them again.
That is the perfect arc.
I agree with that.
The only thing I disagree with is the crown that I'll get to wear as a Nats fan.
If we're the team that disrupted the Astros dynasty, yeah, if we are the two isn't I guess
two out of three.
They would have won.
Yeah, they would have won.
Two out of three.
We broke up.
We broke them up in a row.
Yeah, I would.
Yeah, we stopped them from becoming the team of the decade.
I just I don't want them to win.
I don't want them to win the World Series.
I want them to beat the Yankees and then I want them to like Kershaw to like draw a perfect
game against.
Does the commissioner hand them the trophy?
I want Slim Diego to win.
Yeah, Slim Diego will be fun.
But is there a ceremony where the commissioner has to hand the trophy to the Astros?
Probably.
That would be very, very funny.
Yes.
He had to do that.
He awards them with an extra DH to use next season.
Yeah.
Listen, the Astros are pissing people off and I like that.
But yeah, I don't want them to go all the way because you know Astro fans and you know
what the worst part is Astros fans are also James Harden fans, not analytics fans, not
all nerd ball.
They're not.
They're not.
I can't do that.
They had their one.
They had their one.
Okay.
And also you the one that you can then always argue was tainted will then be tainted.
You're right.
They won't have.
They won't have a legitimate.
Too many taints.
Yeah.
Too many taints.
No, no, I'm saying like if they win an extra if they win without cheating, yes, they can
claim.
Yes.
The taint isn't real.
Yes.
So I don't want that.
I don't want that.
I'm I'm still up in the air.
If it's slam Diego, I'm rooting for them.
Yep.
If it's the Dodgers.
Are you telling me that you're not going to root for an epic Clinton Kershaw meltdown
in the playoffs?
No, man.
He's at the end, man.
I just at some point you kick you kick a guy so much you just want to see him get back
up.
Everyone loves a redemption story.
You know what I mean?
Like, yeah, at the end, at the end, the Astros, yeah, good point.
No, at the very end, you do want, you know, like Tiger winning the Masters or like you
want the guy.
Virginia basketball.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, that one I don't care about.
But yeah, sure.
The winning the Stanley Cup after.
Exactly.
Everyone remembers where they were when the lightning won the war.
No, the Virginia is good.
Virginia is a good, good call.
But yeah, you want that.
That's what America does.
Patriots after deflate gate.
Yep.
That's what America does, though.
We beat people down and then we lift them back up.
And then when they get too good again, we beat them back down again.
Mary and Barry.
Yeah.
Perfect.
Yep.
Exactly.
All right.
Let's, what are you laughing about?
What are you going to say?
I'm not.
Say it, Hank.
Say it.
Oscar Mysterious.
Oh, I thought you were going to say this.
The challenger.
I wasn't going to say that.
I wasn't going to say that.
I wasn't going to say that for the record.
I was not going to say that.
I was not going to say that.
Oh, my God.
I was not going to say that.
Actions better than ever.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's recap some Monday night football.
Oh, should we first talk about our friend, Bill O'Brien, losing two jobs on Monday?
Three jobs.
Three jobs.
Off of the coordinator as well.
They never announced that he lost off of the coordinator.
That's true.
They said that they fired GM and head coach Bill O'Brien.
Right.
But he might stick around.
At the very least, Bill O'Brien left some things behind in the office that he can come
back and collect gradually over the course of the next four weeks.
Oh, one more thing, Romeo.
You might want to add this into the game.
It would be hilarious if they were to.
If they were to trade JJ.
If they were doing Zoom installs and he was just popping in.
Yeah.
Zoom crashing.
Change the passwords.
Yeah.
They did the thing where they let him talk to the press.
I like that.
That's like a new trend.
Classy.
Ron Rivera.
They did that with him when he left the Carolina Panthers.
Yep.
Bill O'Brien.
I think it's just like if you've been with the team for longer than, it's actually like
if you took over the team when they really stunk and then you got them to the playoffs
at least once.
Right.
And stayed there for five years.
They let you say goodbye.
This Ron Rivera, when he said we won the NFC South three years in a row and failed to mention
that one of those years, I think they went seven, eight and one.
They won the NFC South.
They won the NFC South.
But Bill O'Brien has been fired.
You have to think that if he had just done the play calling move like two weeks earlier,
he might have been able to save this job.
I also think there's, I can't remember who said it, but someone was like, I think he
might have done them.
I think he might have been calling the plays like two weeks ago, but waited to announce
it till the Vikings game so he could take credit against the bad defense.
Yeah.
So he was waiting.
And then if they had like pulled off an upset against the Steelers, you've been like, you
know, who's calling the plays me instead, he did it with the Vikings game to publicly
come out and be like, Hey, guess what guys, the schedule is about to get softer.
I'm about to start calling the plays.
We're going to start winning football games.
He forgot the winning football games part.
And now we are back to my favorite storyline in the world.
Sean Watson deserves deserves better.
Yeah.
Everyone's feeling bad.
Do you think he's going to come back?
Do you think that Deandre Hopkins is going to come back to the Sean?
That would be funny.
Just Hey, now that this is over, I can come back.
Yeah.
This, this junkyard, Kyle Shanahan, bitch, Cliff Kingsbury, I'm done with him.
So we are, we are back to the whole notion of like to Sean deserves better.
But my other favorite storyline is interim head coaches and Romeo Cornell is technically
their interim head coach.
He doesn't.
He doesn't do it for me as an interim head coach.
You want your interim head coach is actually like the five year anniversary of Tony Sparano
bearing the football today when he was the Raiders interim head coach.
And you want your, your interim guide to come in and light a spark Romeo.
There's nothing about Romeo that screams spark.
I think he's the oldest head coach.
Yeah.
In the NFL right now.
His, his motivational trick is like, okay, everybody has to get a library card.
I'm going to tell me, tell me what you read at the start of next meeting.
We're going to have some nap time in the middle of the afternoon.
You're right though.
The interim head coach is the best case scenario is the guys love him so much that he becomes
the head coach.
Freddie kitchens.
Yeah.
Well, he wasn't the interim head coach, but you know what I mean?
Like the guys, you know, Cape forms so much that they're like, you got to make him head
coach.
And then that always fails.
But yeah, you want a Dan Campbell playing Metallica, dressing the dolphins in all black
coach.
Oh, and at USC and LSU was legendary.
Who then he became the LSU head coach.
That's what you aspire for Romeo Cornell.
They're just playing out the string and it's early to play out the string.
Yes.
You want, you want your interim head coach to be the substitute teacher that has an
open carry license.
Romeo Cornell is the substitute teacher that comes in and just like falls asleep at the
desk.
Yeah.
And then like every now and then wakes up and yells at someone, but like, you better
stop fucking around back there and then falls back asleep.
Romeo is going to wheel in the TV cart that we all saw back in elementary school put on
Bill and I, the science guy and fall asleep when he turns the lights out.
And one of the kids is going to like steal the remote and turn off the TV and Romeo is
going to lose it trying to figure out what's going on.
Yeah.
So technology is not his strong suit.
What were you going to say, Jake?
Not only the oldest head coach right now, the NFL research, the oldest person to coach
a game in the history of the NFL at 73.
Oh, wow.
I feel like Bill Parcell still got one more run at him.
What do you think about, what do you think about Jeff Fisher?
I think Jeff Fisher Houston have him move the team to Tennessee and then move the team
to LA.
I like that.
The Los Angeles Texans.
Too bad for Bill O'Brien.
I'm going to miss that chin.
He's going to go somewhere.
Another notch on Bill Belichick's I'll let you free and then you can fuck up a franchise
belt.
Yes.
This was actually his, his masterpiece.
Yeah.
It was like, they got a great quarterback.
They have probably the best wide receiver in the NFL.
Bill, I need you to trade away to Sean Watt.
I need you to trade away Deandre Hopkins to the NFC for me.
Yes.
Ruin it.
So that was the Bill O'Brien news.
We had Monday night football, double Monday night football, which was very confusing.
By the way, real quick, it just, it just dawned on me right now.
This timing makes no sense to fire Bill O'Brien.
No.
It makes absolutely no sense because you're going to, you're going to let him trade away
your franchise's best player.
Then you're going to give him four games and then fire him after that.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're under the assumption that the Texans are like a franchise that does smart things.
That's true.
I'm just saying.
So in my mind, it makes perfect sense.
This is exactly what a dumb franchise would do.
Let their coach become their GM in a power struggle, have him wreck everything and then
fire him four games in the season.
That's true.
That's true.
We're not talking about Steelers or the Patriots or the Seahawks, we're talking about the Houston
Texans.
The other thing.
I think I realized also what's pissing me off about this is that it's thrown off the
whole timetable of when we expect bad coaches to be fired.
Yes.
It's so early.
People are saying like Dan Quinn after that loss, he's going to get fired before he gets
on the plane.
No, no, no, no, no, these, these firings happen either in the bi-week or like week 10 at the
early.
Like after Thanksgiving, I did, um, I saw a tweet today about Dan Quinn and it was a
report from a Falcons beat reporter and he said, um, according to my sources, Dan Quinn
is not expected to be fired today.
Okay.
That's when you know you're in trouble.
Yeah.
When they're now reporting on days you don't get fired.
He's doing the key card update.
Dan Quinn access the Atlanta Falcons.
Nothing about tomorrow.
Nothing about tomorrow.
But today, Tuesday, Dan Quinn kept his job.
If I may, I think that Dan Quinn will be just fine.
He said after the game and I'm paraphrasing here probably no one's more upset than I am.
I'm going to take a long look in the mirror.
It starts and it ends with me.
Oh, there you go.
I'm in full evaluation process from the top down and, uh, we're looking forward to getting
this thing turned around because we've got a great team.
They deserve better.
The fans deserve better.
So it starts with me again.
I'm looking into the mirror and you know what the Falcons, they're going to probably, I'm
going to look up their schedule real quick, but they're probably going to play for Dan
Quinn job.
I'll say something nice about the Falcons.
They were trying on Monday night football.
They weren't a dead football team.
Now Matt Ryan, I, he's starting to see ghosts.
He's starting to see ghosts.
He's starting to, there's a couple of plays where you're like, what is he looking at?
But they still have all those first rounders.
All right.
So the Falcons play the Panthers, the Vikings, the Lions, the Panthers, the Broncos.
Okay.
They could start.
They could.
Yeah.
I look, if you want to talk about schedule fucked, they, they start, they started the
season against the Seahawks, which some may say is, you know, the, the second, third best
team in the league.
They lost in that crazy game against Cowboys.
They lost that crazy game against the Bears, three and one bears.
And then they played against the Packers, who some may say is the top, you know, three
team in the league.
So you want to talk about schedule fucked.
The Falcons are up there for it.
I think Dan Quinn might, I think Dan Quinn might keep his job.
I think he might rattle off enough wins to get to eight and eight and keep this goddamn
job.
That's, I mean, the, the next five games that you just mentioned right there, they seem
all winnable.
They could go.
They could go.
Well, what's my one, what's, what's one of my three things I'm going to do this year
respect Teddy Bridge, one or more.
So that's right.
Not going to beat the Panthers.
Okay.
But Vikings, Lions, Panthers twice in Broncos that, that feels like the, we could be sitting
here halfway through the season and it'd be like the Falcons are three and five.
And they're heating up.
They're on a roll.
Yeah.
I think, I think Dan Quinn, maybe, maybe spend less time looking the mirror, more time looking
at opponents running backs in the flat.
That would work.
That would be nice.
If they could guard a running back who's very obviously about to catch a pass and scoot
for a four yard first down.
Yes.
I'm also, so that game, I mean, Aaron Rodgers just decided he's going to be an MVP again.
I'm so fucking sick of this shit.
The hard counts back.
Hard counts back.
And he's messing with people.
He's getting cocky with it.
His hard count this week.
He said hard count instead of hike.
Yeah.
Because he knows everyone's listening.
Are you kidding?
I'm going to frog in my throat.
You got the cocoa?
I got a frog in my throat.
That's usually Billy's territory.
It'd be deep throat and toads.
I'm good.
You okay?
Yes.
Good.
Don't let it finish.
Yes.
But yeah.
Yeah.
Ribbit, ribbit.
Aaron Rodgers, psyching people out with a hard count.
And this fucking Taunian guy.
Get out of here, man.
They don't.
Packers.
Don't.
Don't do this.
Packers.
The Packers are, and I know it's because Aaron Rodgers is not the receivers, but they
are the number one team of let's just throw random dudes out there and they'll just
ball out.
It's funny because Aaron Rodgers was laughing and people were like, why is he laughing so
much?
Just because he's, it's a big joke to him that he's able to complete touchdown passes
to his tight end.
Yes.
He never has a good tight end.
That game also, there's nothing more demoralizing than, I've never seen an over killer quite
like that sequence of events where the Packers got stopped fourth and goal on the one and
then the Falcons went on a 10 minute, 20 play field goal drive.
It was a 94 yard drive.
Just sucked the life out of everything.
Yeah, that was tough.
It really was over.
I also had the over on that one.
So the other game, the chief's Patriots, this was like a glimpse into an alternate reality
of what would happen if Bilbao check didn't have a quarterback because holy shit, Brian
Hoyer, there was a Yabo for the raise there, Brian Hoyer.
I'll say some nice things about Brian Hoyer.
He's not afraid to stay in the pocket even while he's getting sacked and there's a rush
in front of him and he has no timeouts.
And he has no timeouts.
He's fearless.
He is cool under pressure back there.
His internal clock, it just never expires.
He does not see ghosts ever.
No, no.
He sees the player in front of him sacking him and he's still like, I can get out of this.
He's Bruce Willis at the start of the sixth sense for the first five minutes.
So that game, Hank, like it was the pictures.
That was a winnable game.
Did we ever get an explanation on the patch from home's turnover?
Was it Belichick was complaining and missed it because no, the report, the ref reporter
would ever came out today and they said that they called them down because he was getting
sat.
But you could hear there wasn't a whistle and credit to Dave Tobe who couldn't challenge
it.
Oh, OK.
He couldn't challenge it.
Dave Tobe, though, who's like the best special teams coach in the league.
He used to coach the Bears when they had Hester in that run, but I've never seen a
punt get off faster.
That thing you blinked and that punt was off.
Yeah.
And Belichick was like out on the field, took off both of his masks at the refs about that
one.
He was pissed off.
I don't blame him for being mad, but I will say Stitum has a great handoff.
His handoffs look crisp.
Nice handoff.
The eyeball test.
He passed it.
Quarterback controversy.
New England.
It's one of those things where it's like you can't really judge a guy until you at least
start a few games.
Like it's if you're not if you're coming in as the backup, it's not it's not really
a fair sample size.
Can we also I know I ranted about this, I think last week when Matthew Berry tweeted
that 31 teams passed on Cam Newton, which was crazy to say.
But this like the Patriots were thinking about starting Jared Stitum over Cam Newton.
No, they weren't Boston radio.
No, they weren't.
Bill Belichick was playing mind games with everyone.
There's that was prime time Corona when there was no sports going on and there was
nothing to talk about.
But that also is that's a credit to Belichick and the coaching job that he's done in his
entire career where the fastest way for a guy to get hype is for Belichick to draft
you in the late rounds as a quarterback.
Well, so I think Ryan Mallett, yeah, Matt Castle, like you just name all these guys
who Brian Hoyer.
You can name any guy who he drafts and everyone's like, what did he see that we didn't see?
I know they probably just think I think Brian Flores was a coach that before the season
started wouldn't even acknowledge that Cam was going to be the start of quarterback.
He was like, I think they're going to have an open competition.
Those other guys are pretty good.
That's another classic.
That's Belichick telling his former disciple, right, what to say to the media to gas up
Hoyer.
Right.
Jacobi.
But isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It is the great.
The greatest.
The greatest job you can have in all of sports is to be like a fifth rounder that gets drafted
by Bill Belichick because smart by him.
He always like he feels like he takes a quarterback every other year, which smart organizations
do that.
But he instantly gets bumped up to like a second rounder just by, I mean, it happens all the
time with trades too.
Belichick does the trade.
Everyone's like, well, that guy's washed up.
There's got to be something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's in everyone's head.
Yeah.
And so like Mohammed Sanu, they picked him up last year.
Yes.
Everybody was like, this is what a classic.
Wow.
Belichick fine.
I think Mohammed Sanu has been cut by two teams since the Patriots got him.
Yes.
So yeah, everyone thinks automatically you go there, there's something about you.
Like Belam is going to get a job soon or is he on the Giants now?
He's on the Giants.
He's on the Giants.
He didn't get it right.
He had to run laps.
He had to run splints with Joe Judge.
My only concern about Cam is that they're doing all the contact tracing and testing
of the other Patriots.
Zero other New England Patriots besides Cam have tested positive.
Not true.
One did today.
Sorry.
Bill Murray.
Practice squad.
Practice squad.
He's everywhere.
He's hilarious.
No starters.
Nobody on the offense has tested positive.
Is that indictment on Cam Newton's leadership?
Because you know that if Tom Brady had Corona when he was in New England, Julian Edelman
would be the one like driving him around outside the hospital without a mask on, waving to
his fans.
Julian would be like, Julian, we get, he would test positive within 30 seconds of Tom Brady
testing positive.
I'd love to see what concoction Alex Guerrero would come up with to cure Corona for Tom
Brady.
Hose water.
We drank it as a kid.
Eat this nickel.
Yeah.
We drank some cabbage and some hose water.
Yeah.
I'm going to make a broth out of loose change in my pockets and we're going to add in some
eye of newt and we're going to give you a deep tissue massage in your throat.
I'm going to need every tomato in New England exported to the state of New York.
I can't have tomatoes within three states of making this broth.
Alex Guerrero has definitely like pulled Tom Brady aside during the pandemic and been
like, Hey man, I'm loyal to you first and I'm here to do a job for you.
But if they call upon me to find a vaccine for this coronavirus, I got one.
Like he's like, I'm not, listen, I'm not going to put my hand up.
But if they asked me, I could fix this thing.
It's just drink a lot of water.
Yeah.
You need to double your water.
Positive thoughts.
Yeah.
Positive thoughts and water.
We're a copper undershirt to bed and then sleep with this crystal underneath your pillow.
Oh man.
All right.
So that was Monday night football, the double Monday football.
I also, I love the two planes that the Patriots took to is like, this is the sick plane.
This is the death plane.
Yeah.
This is the Spirit Airlines and then this is the real plane.
It was jet blue.
I have to admit something.
I, in a moment that like I'm having more and more dad moments, but when this kickoff
started at 850, I audibly said, this is too late for me.
Oh really?
Yeah.
I don't know what those 30 minutes did, but I was like, I watched the whole game.
But I still said, I was like, Jesus Christ, it's fucking late.
Well, I think it was because the Patriots game had started and ended and you're like,
you know, this is seven o'clock, it's over at 930.
Like this is awesome.
It was, though, though, I just, it was, I mean, it's every father in America.
Any game that starts past eight o'clock, they're just like, no, too late.
Dad strength expires when the sun goes down and maybe wake up in the fourth quarter on
the couch and be like, what happened?
Okay, got it.
I do think it was, it was a good game for the chiefs to win ugly.
They prove that they can win a game that where they don't look like their office is unstoppable.
This is what the chiefs are now too, is that you, that you can stop them for a quarter
or two, but they're just going to, they'll figure out a way.
It's the same thing happened with the Chargers game.
The Chargers played a great game and we sat there watching it being like, well, I mean,
a 70 yard touchdown is going to happen at some point.
Like they always have that in their back sleeve.
Obviously the pick six was, you know, a bigger deal to make it look like a bigger of a blowout.
But it just, it feels like the chiefs are always just waiting, waiting, waiting to pounce.
Yeah.
I'm glad that Andy Reed seems to have made it out.
Okay.
That was my initial concern when the Patriots tested positive, when Cam Newton tested positive.
We can't have it.
Andy Reed sort of coached that game from inside one of those big bubble balls, like the Hamster
balls, like the Atlas sphere from American Gladiators.
We can't have anything get to just go and hit other people with it.
I love, I love when people get knocked out.
2020 has been, been bad enough.
We lost Eddie Van Halen today.
We cannot lose RIP Eddie.
Can't lose Andy Reed.
Bobby Bowden got COVID.
Bobby's got it.
We lost John.
We got to keep Bobby alive.
Lost toots.
Shout out Tommy LaSorta just fucking motoring on.
Just grooving.
He's just.
Yeah.
Knock on wood.
Knock on wood.
Tommy LaSorta probably, he probably has the antibodies from the Spanish flu in 1918.
He would punch Corona in the face.
Yeah, he would.
He'd get into a fight with it.
He would, no, he would, he would, he would, he would mix it up with some gravy on a Sunday
afternoon and eat it with some meatballs.
All right.
Let's do hot seat, cool drone, hot seat, cool drone brought to you by Bud Light, Seltzer
on the hot seat this week is Billy or Jake for a speed ad read.
Oh, this is a real speed ad read.
Let's go.

I can handle it.
All right.

Someone say something.

That's great.
Good job, Jake.
That actually, if you slow it down, it's spelled F-U-C-K, fuck.
Did it really?
Yeah.
If you play it in reverse, it says, uh, Paul is dead, fuck.
Well, I will say, PFT caught me off the air.
Mm-hmm.
If the Yankees play the Astros and things go poorly, it's building, it could build up
quickly.
Jake dropped a hard F bomb at his desk today and I just looked at him.
I said, my stars.
Yes.
Oh, my Lanta.
How dare you.
Oh, my Lanta.
All right, bucket.
Hank.
Hatsi Kultron.
Um, my Hatsi is Doc Rivers.
Okay.
Wait, didn't we?
Oh, that was who's back.
And this is for a different reason.
So he, and he was doing an interview.
He's the new Sixers head coach.
Yep.
And in this interview, he was saying he is going to get rid of the Doc Rivers nickname
and just go by Glenn and somehow he thinks that that's just going to happen.
Yeah, that doesn't happen.
You don't go from a doc to a Glenn because there's only one doctor in, there's only
one doc in Philly and that's Dr. J. But it's like, dude, your name is Doc Rivers.
That was, that was a nice press conference quip, but yeah, no, you're, you're, you're
Doc.
No one's, no one's going to make Glenn Rivers also can't stop the doc.
I mean, you really can't get cooler than be calling Doc.
Like that's the coolest nickname to have.
You should actually just embrace it and rock like a big white lab coat on the side.
Yes.
That'd be cool.
Maybe actually you could trick Joel and beat into losing some weight.
Yeah.
Like, hey, Joel, it's me, Doc.
You're fat.
I wearing a stuff.
Hey, Ben Simmons.
You're actually right handed.
Yeah.
Hey, Joel, you're technically obese.
We're going to have to cut down the Shirley temples.
Honestly, that's my hot seat.
My cool throne is storms.
Oh, like Hurricane Delta.
Yes.
It's coming to the Gulf Coast bad, but Seattle Storm won the WNBA championship.
Good.
Okay.
Hurricane Delta is going to hit the did they call it Delta because it's going to
end up is no.
That's just the name.
That's the name.
Okay.
Yeah.
We write our names.
Sue Bird.
Sue Bird.
Nice.
Dub.
Got it.
Yep.
Seattle basketball back.
Mm hmm.
Seattle Spencer Hawes.
Stop bitching about the Sonics and start respecting the WNBA.
Storm.
Storm.
Seattle Storm.
Start respecting the storm.
I love WNBA.
I love betting on WNBA.
Someday, my Chicago sky are going to make it.
They did.
Actually, I went to it.
I had people forget I went to a WNBA finals game by myself.
No content.
And someone took a picture of me because I had three empty seats next to me.
I said, sitting with all your friends and it hurt my feelings.
But I also had a great time.
But they lost.
Did your season ticket holder too?
I was.
Did anybody did a Darren Revelle tweet of like, this, this fat person had to buy three seats
around him.
One fact, I was the person who screenshotted that one and got Darren in trouble.
I loved that one.
Thank you for your service.
Yes.
Appreciate it.
Yes.
Someone who ever tweeted that at the beginning, whoever actually took that picture, tweet
that out and I'll retweet it again.
It's a very funny picture of me sitting with no one.
My hot seat is Jerry Quay.
I think I pronounced that right.
Billy, did I say that right?
No.
Jerry Quay.
It's on your seat.
It's on your seat.
Seinfeld?
No.
It's the mascot for Arsenal.
Oh, yeah.
They dismissed.
They sacked.
Excuse me.
It's England.
It's the mascot on the same day they spent millions.
Well, he's a dinosaur.
Oh.
So maybe.
Wait, they're getting rid of the animal or the guy in the animal.
On the same day that they paid a fee of 45 million quid, that's a lot of quid, for Atletico's
Madrid's Thomas Parti and that was talking soccer, they sacked the person who portrayed
club mascot Gunnar Soros.
It's a bad con.
Oh, I like Gunnar Soros.
That's a good name.
You're right, Hank.
That is a bad.
They overpaid.
Yeah.
They overpaid.
So Gunnar Soros lost the job.
He had been in the role since 1993.
Very depressing.
Dude.
That's a great name.
And the transfer window in soccer is actually awesome.
Like Gunnar Soros should go in the transfer window.
Yes.
They should do that for every sport, though, because you basically have one day where,
I mean, obviously it's like a trade deadline, but just buy himself.
I mean, how fun would it be if in a football season you could loan out a player like Deshaun
Watson right now?
If the Texans start one in six, a team could be like, all right, we'll pay Deshaun Watson.
We'll pay the Texans $60 million for Deshaun Watson for the rest of the year.
Yeah.
I mean, that would be awesome.
Yeah.
You can.
You can do that.
So if this guy has a contract with Athletico, but then he goes sometimes you can do that.
You can do it on loan.
I also might have made up some of this.
So Jerry, I think I feel like the loan thing.
Usually works out where the person gets the transfer and then he just stays there.
He goes on loan.
But he can also go on loan and come back.
He can just like an open relationship.
Yeah.
He's like, Gunnar Soros could have a hall pass where he's like, you know what?
I'll go.
I'll go mascot for the Astros.
Yeah.
It would be sick, though.
If we just had the, you can just pay whatever you want for a player.
That'd be sick.
Gunnar Soros open invite.
The football team needs a mascot.
Yeah.
We'll change the bullets.
We're not going to get a guy named Gunnar Soros.
Yeah.
Well, that's the name of the nick.
That's the nickname of the fans.
We're going to go back.
The Gunnar Soros.
No, they're the Gunners.
Yes.
I know.
Yeah.
I'm where Arsenal.
Yeah.
Gunners.
I know.
I don't know if you know EPL like I do.
Oh, I know Arsenal.
Name one of their players.
Terry Henry.
Boom.
Gerud.
Oliver Gerud.
I'll name one.
Thomas Party.
Thomas Party.
He used to play at Lettico Madrid, didn't he?
Last year?
Oh, yeah.
I think he got a transfer.
Yeah, he got a transfer.
Transfer for a lot of money.
Arsenal sucks.
That's all I know.
Cool throne is Mike Tomlin's the Soros.
Yeah.
So Mike Tomlin gave a press conference.
They asked him what was different about this weekend.
How did your team spend the time when they had an unexpected bye week?
His answer was we took a weekend to observe competition on a global perspective, which
it sounds like somebody making up a fake job experience for the resume, like it really
embellishing what they did to sound smart.
Yes.
Our guys, we watch the red zone.
We watch football for two days on television, but really when you get down to what we did
was we observed competition on a global perspective.
We watched all the games.
He also said the Eagles don't have a bunch of injuries.
They have a lack of availability at the wide receiver position.
I love his the Soros.
Big Ben doesn't have a porn addiction.
He's just an enthusiast when it comes to observing gashes.
He's an internet enthusiast.
Yes.
Yeah.
WebMD, he's not a porn addict who is also a hypochondriac.
He just loves observing and notifying gashes in their native environment.
Private mode.
That's all he's addicted to.
Yes.
Incognito specialist.
All right.
My hot seat is Twitter.
So unfortunately, you all probably thought to yourself Twitter is our one place that
we can escape from this world, from politics, from all that stuff.
It feels like just yesterday, there's no politics.
Yeah.
Well, unfortunately, that no longer is the case because Keith Olbermann has left ESPN
and he is starting a political show for the presidential race.
He actually made a he did a periscope and he said, did you think I was going to sit
out this election season?
And I have to confidently say, I did not think for one second.
Where's been where's Keith Olbermann been?
He hasn't been tweeting sir resigned.
Yeah.
I know.
He hasn't like, man, is Keith Olbermann sitting out this this political, you know, season?
Maybe not allowed to tweet whatever.
No, I know that.
But what I'm saying is like, there at no point was I missing Keith Olbermann tweeting
about politics.
I'm really interested.
But he needs the world.
Which side he's going to take.
Like because he was at ESPN, we don't know like Keith Olbermann has just been building
up these takes.
True.
He should do like a gender reveal for who he's going to be voting for.
It was it was very Keith Olbermann being like, you know what, Twitter, like you probably
were wondering who will tell the truth?
Who will talk about politics?
Well, me, Keith Olbermann, I'm here to do it.
What's the show going to be called?
My guess is the Keith Keith Olbermann show starring Keith Olbermann.
It's Keith Olbermann YouTube.
I think he said the the I think he said this presidential election is for the worst person
on earth or something.
I think that might be what he calls it.
Okay.
I don't know.
I'm already out.
I'm done with Keith Olbermann.
Like the best Keith Olbermann is when he is just only tweeting, sir resign, sir.
Well, you know what?
I didn't even unfollow him for his politics.
I didn't follow him because every fucking day he tweets some some like sad dog that
needs to be adopted.
It's like Sarah McLaughlin commercial all the time.
It's even worse than that because he'll be like this dog is going to be executed in
the next five minutes.
Do something.
Unless people retweet this.
You fucking do something.
Unless this tweet has 50,000 retweets, this dog will be put down.
Yeah.
It ends up on on a Tuesday morning and it's just Keith Olbermann like this dog was beaten
and dragged and is about to be killed and put out of its mercy unless someone adopts
it right now.
Twitter.
It's really just the reverse Rex Chapman.
Yeah.
Just like taking dogs hostage.
Yes.
Using our emotions against us.
Dogs, bro.
All right.
My cool throne is earth because Billy Sheet says that there's three huge asteroids that
will skim past earth tomorrow.
Skim it.
I'm so fucking scared.
Asteroids.
Do something.
They're all talk.
No walk.
Well, this is what we said about Corona too.
Back in February.
Don't care.
Asteroids.
Do something.
They haven't won shit in what?
60,000 years.
Billions?
I have no idea.
When did it hit?
Millions of years.
63 million.
63 million years.
Now, gutter source is extinct.
Did you know that for a fact?
6.3 billion.
Which one is it?
That's a big number.
630,000.
63 days.
It's been 63 days since we've been hit by an asteroid.
Killed the sources.
I'm just saying it.
You know what?
If no one else will do it, I'll call them out.
Asteroids, you're on my shit list.
You're frauds.
You're frauds.
Yeah.
If it shows up to earth, it will probably fuck me up.
65 million years ago.
65 million.
There we go, Billy.
In the words of Mercury Morris, don't talk to me when you're on my block.
Talk to me when you're at my door.
Asteroids.
Yes.
Yes.
All right, Billy.
Hot seat, cool throne.
On repeat is the baby shark song.
So a court ruled that playing the baby shark song on repeat is basically torture in that
it's illegal.
So you can't play the baby shark song on repeat because it's technically torture.
My cool throne is our CEO, Eric Rnardini, who signs the WWE board.
Slay Queens.
Huge.
Do you think that she's going to get stunned?
I kind of...
I think that's initiation.
It's like the icebreaker at WWE headquarters is they put a bunch of cinnamon in front of
you.
You can't sneeze and then they stun you.
We don't really do this anymore, but like explain it to Hank like I don't really understand
boards in general.
Yeah.
It's pretty much just important people that are smart.
Don't work for the company.
Yeah.
And they help make decisions.
It's like one of those things.
But for a company they don't work for.
Yeah.
It's like other companies go, they send their CEOs on loan for an afternoon to go to a meeting
and then advise the other company of what they can do.
It's like cross-pollination.
It helps you like a new set of eyes.
Actually, this is great.
If anyone out there who has a company that needs a board member, we will offer up Hank's
services to sit on your board and report back.
I would love to see that.
It can literally just be a board.
I want legally, I want legally for Hank to be on a board and he will get bored while listening
to it.
So we're not going to say he's going to do anything good.
He's got great ideas.
Yeah.
That's true.
Actually, I think the best type of company for Hank to work with, if you're listening,
put me on the board.
It should be a company that Hank has nothing idea, no idea about what they do as a company.
Like put them on a biotech board.
Yeah.
Just let your brain cook on it.
All right.
Car seat.
Can you do options?
Yeah.
Perfect.
All right.
Let's get to our interviews.
And then we're going to have DK Metcalf after that before we get to Chris Bosch.
Our friends from Roback, the guys over at Roback have been sending us their performance
polos, Q-Zip pullovers and hats for a while now and I'll be honest, we're in love with
their stuff.
PFC is wearing it all the time.
I have a few of the Q-Zips.
Here at PMT, we are elite athletes who demand high performance apparel and Roback delivers
exactly that.
Occasionally, you'll see someone rocking a Roback Q-Zip or hat with their dog logo.
You just kind of give them that subtle nod because you know they get it.
It's like the Jeep wave.
When it comes to gear, Roback's Q-Zip pullovers are as soft and comfortable as they get.
No one does Q-Zips like Roback.
Just top quality.
What do you got, Hank?
Sometimes I rock Roback, Q-Zips.
What's up, Hank?
We got the train?
The vacuum.
Oh, the vacuum.
Commando.
They're so soft with the weather getting cooler and Q-Zip season about to be in full swing.
I definitely check these out.
Billy, pass me a Roback Q-Zip.
Roback's performance polos are also next level.
Oh, they actually got me this.
Hold on.
I'm going to hold it up for the people.
Hold it up.
I'm going to hold it up.
They got me this cute, cute dino's.
You had a little dino's.
Yeah.
Gunnersaurus.
I got one of those, too.
For my son.
Same size.
PFT got the exact same size.
So Roback has-
I said it first.
They're super, super comfortable, great fabric.
They got that little stretch performance polos.
They're awesome to wear.
Their next level, the collars are structured and last after many washes unlike any other
polo out there and the fabric is so comfortable, you won't take them off.
These aren't your typical boxy golf polos.
Their print designs are awesome and the polos are popping up all over the NFL from Brogan
to Borough to Baker.
It seems like every promising franchise QB is occasionally seen wearing their stuff.
So go right now.

Okay.
Here he is.
Chris Bosch.
Okay.
We now welcome on recurring guest, friend of the program, two-time NBA champion, 11-time
NBA All-Star.
It is Chris Bosch.
Chris has a new single out.
So he's been working on his music.
Last time he was in studio, we talked about his music.
They released the single, I Want It All October 2nd through Daddy Jack Records.
Awesome.
Everyone should go listen to it.
This is exciting.
What is the song?
The song is about Kobe and it's a tribute to Kobe, correct?
Yeah, pretty much.
I mean, you know, capturing music come to find out is, you know, a very challenging thing
and working with the artists and you really befriend the people that you work with or
get in a good working situation with guys.
And, you know, you just kind of got, you have to kind of ride the wave and obviously
mean being a basketball player, you know, that inspires a lot of the writing and at
the same time, it's just how we were feeling, especially with, you know, everything happening
so fast.
Nobody really thought the heat were going to be in the finals and we were just so inspired.
We just made something and, you know, I was able to call on the contacts to make some things
happen.
It's a very intricate business, but I'm learning more day by day and I appreciate you guys
for the shout out.
Yeah.
That's what's up, man.
What's that like?
What's the process like when you're writing a song or helping to produce it?
Do you sit down at a piano?
Do you help them compose or what's your, what's your end of the bargain?
I'm not that nice.
I pretty much started getting to know writers.
At first, you start out by yourself, you know, and it's a very kind of lonely, lonely
beginning, but you have to learn how to put things together and you learn what you learn
and then eventually, hopefully you run into somebody who's a writer or a performer or
whatever it is and you notice that, okay, my music is cool, but there's no words on
it.
I can't sing.
I'm not one of those guys.
I need somebody to sing on it or rap on it or whatever it is and you get to that point.
And then it's just, you know, really honing in on that and getting better and better at
that.
So like, for me, it was like having like a lot of beats, you know, that's, I pretty
much started, that became like my basketball.
You see what I'm saying?
So instead of like, you know, getting up in the morning and shooting a thousand jumpers,
I would, you know, not make a thousand beats, but you know what I'm saying?
Like whatever the equivalent is, and, you know, teaming up with guys, this particular
guy, he's an artist I've been working with for the past couple of years and, you know,
he's a very talented, very great writer and an artist and, you know, we just make some
stuff, play some music, vibe out and just record and hope that something will happen.
So you mentioned at the start there, the, no one expected the heat to be in the finals.
Thankfully they won on Sunday night so that we're going to run this on Wednesday.
So there still is going to be a finals when we're talking.
There will be a game five.
There will be a game five.
I assume you're officially, you're rooting for the heat, not LeBron, right?
Well, I mean, to be honest with you, I have very close friends on both sides, not LeBron
and not Eric Spolstra, you know, so if you could believe that, so, you know, it's just,
you have to come to a point sometimes to where you just, you know, let the guys play and
you stay out of it.
You just want to see guys represent themselves well.
You want to see guys just play well and whoever wins, wins, but I got guys on both sides looking
for their first ring, like very close friends.
So I love it.
I love it.
So the Spolstra, I don't know if he's underrated anymore because everyone I think has given
him the respect he deserves, but what is it about him as a coach that he's able to get,
you know, the heat, didn't people didn't expect the heat to be in the finals.
They didn't expect him to win a game in the finals.
What is it about his system, his coaching, the culture that has, has them in the finals
and has him in the discussion of top three coach in the NBA?
I think most of all is consistency.
That's what you want to see out of most, most coaches really.
You want them to be consistent.
He always has a message as far as the things he wants to implement and, you know, X's and
O's has its own place in the game as far as coaching is concerned and he's gotten better
at that.
Always having a solid staff.
He's always surrounded with great guys around him, like David Fisdell, Juan Howard, my man
DC, Chris Quinn, amongst others.
And he's just a team first guy and just, he's always trying to get better.
So he's really not worried about what the situation is, what things call for what.
He's coming to work the next day and it's all about what can we do today to get better.
He always likes to say one percent better.
Oh my goodness, man, he's a true believer in that.
And I think when you do that, you just kind of stack your chips up and look back and see
what you have.
He's one of those guys.
He wasn't really worried too much about what tomorrow brings or what yesterday was.
He's worried about right now.
And I think, you know, that's given him quite a bit of success.
Yeah.
And it looked like the game plan, or at least a big part of it in this most recent game
was attack Anthony Davis, try to get him in foul trouble early because the Lakers played
different when he's got 3,000 the first half and he has to play different.
He has to play more conservatively.
For you, I'm sure that there were probably some instances in your career where you knew
that the game plan was to go at you, try to get you in trouble early.
How do you continue to play like good physical defense with the understanding that these
guys are doing everything that they can to jump into me, to make me leave my feet early,
make mistakes so they can pick up a cheap one on me?
I think, you know, it just comes in with learning how to play, you know, play your own game.
And I know Anthony, he's probably, you know, since getting to LA, you know, I can relate
as far as like having to take it to another level and finding out what those Western Conference
finals levels are, or the finals levels are, you know, just feeling that difference.
I think most importantly, like you just have to, you just have to know time, score and
your situation as a player.
So, hey, if they're, if they have a loose whistle, which means they're not calling too
many files, you can be aggressive, be aggressive.
But the minute you pick up one, you might want to play a little loose.
If they're, if they're calling it tight, you know, you have to recognize those things
and adjust your game accordingly, pretty much on the fly, which he'll do.
But look, it's hard to win game seven, man.
I mean, not game seven.
Of course it's hard to win game seven.
It's hard to win game three if you're up 2-0, not, not in making any excuses or anything,
but give credit to the heat for how they came out swinging, you know, their backs are against
the wall.
They don't want to go home.
Everybody's telling them they can't do something, you know, you know, come on, we know the human
nature.
You tell somebody they can't do something.
I tell my four-year-old he can't do something.
He is going to walk his butt right in there and do it, you know, so that's just, that's
just human nature.
And then people have to understand how hard it is to win a championship.
Yeah.
No, that's true.
The, the hungry dogs run faster kind of motto of, you know, the team that kind of wants
it more in that given night.
So one last question about the coaching staff.
I always love when players can point to one particular instance or game where maybe Spolstra
or the coaching staff implemented a game plan, like in one of the heat runs that you had
to two championships where you're like, oh man, they figured out this team and they put
us in a spot.
Like we knew they were going to do this and we were ready for it.
Was there ever a moment that you had that where you went into a game and what they told
you was going to happen, happened exactly that way and you were able to execute and
win?
Man, yes.
I think more of on a broad, nothing particular where that one particular play happened, right?
But it was more so situations to where we wanted to get to.
So in particular, one of the main things that we used against the Spurs was putting LeBron
off the ball, but they kept running.
I forgot which particular play it was.
It was strong pretty much to a high screen and roll.
We would switch that with the four man and LeBron would end up on Tony.
So figuring out those chess pieces to get the last like eight seconds or five seconds
of the shot clock matchup that you want.
That's what they're really good at.
And that's what we did.
And I think you saw a lot of it last series with LeBron on Jamal Murray.
So just small things like that to where we could get the matchup that we want late in
the clock because in this particular series when we were playing San Antonio, that's where
we would get burned for three is that it's four seconds and somehow they make 18 passes
to an open three.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, those Spurs teams that was they would always try to they would always find the open
guy in that in that particular instance.
So you see him in my dreams.
Yeah.
How many more years do you think that you don't as Haslam can play based on what you've
seen physically?
So it's good physically.
It's not even about physically if just if he wants to do it.
I worked out with this dude, you know, a few times I was always one of our things and he
works hard.
I mean, he's one of he's going to be one of those guys where he's always going to be doing
his offseason and full season workouts.
That's how hard he works.
You know, it's just a habit for him.
It's not even it's not even something like the old guy getting off his boat, you know,
and trying to go out there and no, he's out there in the heat in the warehouse, big fan
in the corner that doesn't do anything, but it's blowing hot just hot air and he's lifting
and getting it in and I've I've taken part in that and I've seen what he does.
So he can play the game for as long as he wants to as much as he brings really as a
voice in that locker room.
I mean, it's pretty much been grandfathered in what his potential is and what he could
possibly do in the future.
Yeah, I saw before game two, Spolster said he almost he almost started Haslam because
Haslam gave a big speech in the locker room to fire everybody up.
That would have been great.
Put him in there for like two minutes, set the tone, maybe get a heart foul.
Yes.
That's lost.
Nobody does that anymore, man.
Those are small things.
And you know what is funny?
You said that I was looking at him and I'm like, man, that's one of those situations
where you love to have UD as a teammate, but then you hate it because he's going to be
talking to you, you know, right, right.
We had plenty of those moments and we used to feed off of each other on that one.
And, you know, we had so many battles and practice just beating each other up.
You know, you get to that point where, and if you look at game one and game two, you
know, you can, you know, you saw a lot of slouch and body language.
You could tell that he were kind of feeling sorry for themselves a little bit because,
you know, everybody's hurt.
You eventually have to get over that.
And I know I pretty much can can think in my head what he probably said.
Yes.
I love it.
End of game three, end of game three.
Some people are saying LeBron walking off the court with 10 seconds less was Bush League
made it all about LeBron trying to upstage Jimmy's unbelievable performance, which I
think statistically was, I saw a stat where it was like the second highest rated NBA finals
performance since they started tracking that stuff in like the mid 80s.
So, yeah, but some people are saying LeBron kind of, that was Bush.
Bush League, not us, but some people are saying that.
What would you say to that is one game was he supposed to stand there and say, man, Jimmy
played a great game and, you know, give him a sports tap and give him a towel and give
him some Gatorade and punch to like, you know, okay, the game, it wasn't like the game was
over.
If he wants to walk off the floor, then that's his choice.
I mean, it's not that big of a deal.
Some people are saying with that said, I understand.
Yeah, I understand how the finals and I think I heard some people saying, well, he was in
the game, which on that part, you know, it is what it is.
But look, let me tell you something.
If LeBron wants to walk off the court, then who's going to stop him?
Yeah, it's true, but it's just, you know, and yeah, and I understand it.
But I've been very mad at after a loss and I've walked off the court with time left.
So, you know, I'm sure that he really did not expect to lose that game and to play so well.
If he, you know, if he didn't have, we usually don't see him walk off.
If he doesn't have six turnovers, I think that was, that was the main thing.
They didn't play up to their potential.
They, you know, and it is what it is.
You walk off and you made his choice.
I don't think it's that big of a deal.
Are you shocked at all LeBron just keeps like he's 35 now, going to be 36 in December.
And he's when he wants to be, he just dominates everyone.
And I think he does do the thing now where LeBron paces himself well.
And you can tell that he'll take a quarter or two where he won't be going to the basket
nonstop because he's saving that energy, which is very smart and savvy.
But are you shocked that this is still happening like this late into, you know, his career
and how many years he miles he's racked up?
Yes and no.
I mean, you know, for one, with the, with the, you know, with, you got to hold into
regard the two years of retirement, but our hero was MJ, right?
He was 36 still playing on the biggest stage.
Like when he hit that shot, he was still the man in the league, you know, so I think every
person that came into the league after that, I would assume if you're, especially if you're
a dean, the chosen one, you have pretty much the, the, your, your eyeballing exactly what's
possible.
And, and, and you have to put in the work.
That's one of the things, things that Bron does.
He's, he's done his research.
He's found that thing and he puts in the work daily.
So to see him still playing at a high level.
No, I wish I was still playing at the level, at a high level in the NBA at my age right
now.
You know, that's how I saw myself.
It just didn't happen for me, but to see him actually deliver with it is incredible.
But with that said, he has, I mean, since we were, I always tell this story, I've been
telling it a lot lately, and when we were in our early twenties, he was stretching twice
a day.
You know, he had the habits and the foresight back then.
I wasn't stretching, bro.
I was eating McDonald's.
I was nothing wrong with McDonald's, but I was eating McDonald's, you know, whenever
I wanted.
I didn't stretch.
I didn't take those, those precautions with my body, which it wasn't, it wasn't a thing
back then.
Yeah.
So he was on it back then.
And I mean, this is pretty much, I think we're just now getting into the meat of his second
prime, really, if you want to call it that, because I only say that because I guess he
took a year off from, you know, competing in the finals.
Now he's back.
Right.
Right.
So, you know, so.
I mean, if you were to become a free agent, where would, where would you like to see LeBron
go?
Maybe go, maybe goes to Boston closes out his career here with Hank and the Celtics.
To the Mecca, maybe to New York.
How much, how many, how many years is he on one more year after this year?
I don't know.
I feel like he's always a free agent.
Just like, we're always, every summer we're going to be like, where's LeBron going?
Yeah.
I think that's definitely by design and at the same time, I think, yeah, I mean, you
know, if guys would have thought about that back in the day, or for the rules would have
been like that, where you can be just like, oh man, I got a couple of championships.
I think I'll play here because there's a good team.
I mean, you know, that's kind of, that's kind of tough to pass up if you can, which
city you can live in, but, you know, the Lakers seem to be very serious about having
in the run.
So, I mean, it's really, really tough to see him kind of leave that on the table and
go do something else.
But with that said, you know, you never know a year and two years from now, totally different
situation.
If you were starting a new team, if you were a general manager and you had the option,
let's just say like for the next, for the next six years, who would you want on your
team at the age that they are now, LeBron, James or Jimmy Butler?
How, I don't even know how old Jimmy is, I mean, I'm thinking Brian, yeah, it's nothing
against Jimmy, but yeah, I'm going to take Brian.
I was kind of joking just, he has another gear in his career, I feel, and this is just
my philosophy.
I guess I was watching Jason Kidd on their bench one day and I'm like, damn, you know,
Jason Kidd, Magic Johnson, what if he evolved his game into fitting that type of style where
he's averaging like 16, 17, 18 points a game and 10 assists, you know, he can still do
that and be an MVP candidate.
Right.
I still feel he can do that and still control the game because essentially he'd be going
three point line to three point line and you just, you know, but look, with that said,
I'm sure he's thought about those things and, you know, as the game progresses, he's going
to continue to progress his game and we'll see how long he goes for.
Well, and he also has an alpha dog now with Anthony Davis.
I mean, it's kind of Anthony Davis team, right?
That too.
Wouldn't you say?
It's kind of his team.
Let me tell you, I've seen some players, uh, I'm jealous of Bam Adebayo and Anthony
Davis.
Oh man, I'm jealous of those guys, man.
So envious because one on, with the Lakers, they feed AD.
Yeah.
They give him the ball and he's a problem down there.
And with Bam, just him getting the ball in those situations and him being able to read
and react off of a hundred screen and rolls and slips again.
Oh man.
I mean, I look at their offensive systems and I put myself, you know, I'm the classic
old guy now where I'm like, well, I would have, you know, blah, blah, blah.
But it's true.
No, you're, you're right that, um, I'm sure you've had this thought and it kind of sucks
to have this thought, but the way the game has evolved, your skillset in your prime was
perfect for today's NBA in terms of, you know, we talk about the stretch five and how there's
not really a center position anymore.
Like that you probably look at that and salivate and say, man, if I were 25 years old right
now, yeah.
Oh, forget about that.
If I was 35, I'd have been, I was kind of, you know, I kind of start seeing, I didn't
know it was going to be like the as fast as it is now, but you start seeing the trends
and I was smart enough to be like, okay, in my last year in the league, I'm going to shoot,
you know, it was a point to shoot more threes, you know, four or five threes a game.
But then it got to the point where, you know, it's funny, your whole career, you don't want
to play the five.
Then you get a little older and say, Hey man, I think that five position is, you know, pretty
good for me, but we had a sign at the time, you know, so we were a bit unique in our attack.
But yeah, I can't help but see it every time, uh, every time I see the, the, the league
playing now, just man, I just wish I would have could have had that was, uh, that was
my dream to have that, I guess, uh, twilight phase in my career, trying to figure it out
in this new league and, and I liked where it was going.
I was just trying to, you know, put my imprint on it even more.
Yeah.
Um, we're trying to figure out if this is the hardest NBA championship to win or if it's
the easiest because it has to be one or the other.
There's no room for nuance in our brain.
So you could make the argument that it's a glorified AAU tournament, right?
That, uh, teams aren't playing that hard against each other.
You can make the other argument that everybody's isolated.
It's tough to focus on basketball.
If you're, you know, just trapped inside Epcot center or whatever they are.
So you have to pick one or two, uh, which one is it the hardest or the easiest?
I actually was saying this might be the hardest NBA championship and this was like two months
ago.
How not?
You're the Lakers.
Think about it.
Just think about this.
Disney world.
Yeah.
It's cool.
You can't even round the rise.
Who you going?
They're in the, they're not in Disney world.
They're in the bubble.
They're in the Walt Disney world bubble.
Okay.
All right.
And I'm sure they've got a lot of amenities there, but what guys are going there for three
months, you really got to want to win that thing.
You know, and, and, you know, I guess it's relative, you know, and, and, and I think,
you know, the teams that have three peter put that to the side back to back and three
peter put those to the side because those years I feel are much more difficult just
in my short experience with it.
But you know, all other titles as far as like a first year, I definitely think this is definitely
been one of the hardest.
You don't, I mean, you don't have any excuses where you're going to say, I didn't have the
regular energy from the fans.
Everybody's still watching.
The games are still going to be played.
Whatever the intensity is, look, they give it, there's an NBA championship, you know,
up for grabs.
Nobody's going to say, Oh, well, it was in the bubble.
Let me tell you something.
If you lost it, they wouldn't say, Oh, well, you know, it's cool.
It was like, you know, that was the easiest one to win.
Yeah.
Like them, you lost it.
You know, so that's what guys have to realize.
And that's why I love like, I didn't think that he was going to make it to the, make
it to the finals.
I'm not honest with you, but I knew like going into a situation like that, the way that
they're built and the way that they think, I knew they were going to be a problem because
they were coming, they were going to be coming in ready to whoop ass.
And that's pretty much what it came down to with this, this particular stretch of this
season.
So in talking to guys who are in the bubble, I would imagine team, the one part that I
would say argue is, is harder when people probably from the outside look at it and think
it might be easier because they're all together, but I think it might be harder for team chemistry
to be together nonstop.
You saw it with the clippers that fell apart and you're thinking like, how did this fall
apart?
Well, if they don't like each other and they spend every second with each other in a bubble
without their families and can't go out, you know, to blow off some steam, it probably
gets on their nerves.
So do you, in talking to guys, have you noticed that it is like the teams that have the chemistry,
the teams that they get along, it's been a little bit easier than the teams that might
not have that chemistry, might not have been through those wars together?
I haven't had those conversations, but I can tell, you know, just from experience, yeah,
you have to have a good solid team, a well put together team really to win a championship
period.
You got to care about each other.
You have to, and you have to respect one another.
Even if you don't like that person, you have to respect that person because you have to
dive, which you used to have to dive in the stands, but let's just say hustle.
You have to hustle for that person.
You have to do things that you don't want to do, you know, so that the team can be successful.
If you don't like the person to your left and your right, let's be honest, you're not
going to go that extra mile.
That just is what it is.
You're always going to have that thing in your mind.
And even if you're quick to the ball, it's going to be that little split second that
will make you go forward and then you'll be too late, you know, so yeah, I think it definitely
brought things to a head if you didn't have a good team and, you know, that's one thing
about that's beautiful about basketball.
You can't cheat the game.
You can't lie to the game.
I can look at you and look at how you're playing and see how the team is playing.
I can see who's giving high fives to who.
I can see who's sitting next to who's talking to who unless you have that collective team
thing going, then you're probably not going to win.
So I think the bubble was definitely one of those things that kind of exposed exposed
that and that should always be at the top of guys list.
How can we build a great team?
What are those intangibles we need to do to be a great team before we even get on the
court?
You know, it's a great point and it is part of the reason why I love watching basketball
is unlike any other sport where how the guys get along and play together and can read each
other and know, all right, you're going to like the one thing I love about the heat.
It seems like they're always cutting and they're always making cuts and guys are, you know
what I mean?
Like guys are always moving towards the basket and it just watching that when it works, there's
nothing prettier and then you see a team like the Clippers who flamed out and no one's
moving and everyone's standing around and waiting for someone else to make a shot.
And you're right.
You can see the chemistry.
You can read it on a team, whether they're really getting along and seeing on the same
page or not.
For sure.
It's all about when times suck, not when they're, you know, not when they're cool.
You know, not when it's easy.
It's about when it's hard.
You know, it's about when nobody believes that it's sometimes is even when you don't
believe it.
Are you still going to come in to work the next day and be positive?
You know, are you going to believe or are you going to have that faith you need to have
to get to what you need to get to?
Yeah.
I think you're right.
It's it helps out the teams that are close and it also really hurts the teams that are
not close.
It kind of puts a line in the sand and out of the East, the team that was very obviously
the closest was the heat on the West.
It was the nuggets and then the Lakers are just all afraid that LeBron will trade them
away if they don't hustle.
So they're using fear as a motivation and so that's why they're going that extra mile
not necessarily because they're super close.
So yeah, you kind of see it working in real life.
One other thing that I noticed though, I feel like the refs are getting bullied more in
the bubble.
Maybe it's because they can hear the players more.
They can hear the coaches more, but I've started to notice like usually if a ball goes
out of bounds, if it's a 50-50 call, the first person that emphatically points like we got
the ball going this way, the refs are giving them that call.
I think that there's a difference not having there's no fans to be to bully them on.
I think more coaches should coach their team to be like, hey, no matter what happens, when
a ball goes out of bounds, just you point as hard as you can immediately and there's
a chance that the rest is going to give it to you.
Hey, look, this is a judgment for everybody.
All right.
One thing I would love, I'm so glad you're talking about this, you know, if you're a
ref, you're going to get a hard time period.
I would just love the league to stop the instant replays.
Yeah.
That is killing the game.
I have turned as a consumer of the product, I have turned the channel multiple times and
I didn't come back to watch the game because there's been an instant replay because when
Luca Doncius did a Euro step, somebody got tapped in the face and it's a flagrant.
That's just a part of the game.
I, you know, you know, I'm not trying to be old school or anything, but I, you know, I
got whacked in the face plenty of times and, you know, you just keep playing, you know,
to stop the games, to see and figure out if it's a flagrant one or flavorant two is too
much. I really don't like, I mean, getting smacked in the face is a part of the game.
If somebody does it intentionally, that's one thing and maliciously, but if you strip
the ball on me and I just do this and, and somebody, you know, I don't know, it's crazy.
It's crazy.
You're absolutely right.
It's, it's happened in every sport where we have taken instant replay, which is great.
Like at the end of the game, if, if you want to find out who touched the ball last, that's
important. I want to see that.
That's two minutes. I have no problem.
Right. Right. That's important. The problem is we've taken instant replay to be like, well,
now we'll have a perfectly officiated game, which takes out the human element, which is
always going to be there. That there's physicality. And when you slow something down, of course,
it's going to look like, Oh, well, Jimmy hit him in the, in the face of that elbow going
up for a layup. It's like, that's just playoff basketball. I agree. I think there's a, a level
of not to be like, I think there's also like the losers who are like nineties basketball.
That was when it was real. Like, no, they played in the eighties and they mugged each
other and it kind of, yeah, we don't want to, we don't want to close line. You go to the,
to the free throw line.
Right. We don't need that. But there is like, there's going to be bumps and things that
play the game. Right. Right. And I'm sure everybody's played pick up and you've been
smacked in the face. Like, Oh man, you good? Yeah. No, no, no, no. Let's, you know, check
up. Let's keep, let's keep playing ball. Right. You know, to what if we'd like somebody
to get smacked, hold up, everybody stop. Let's review that. Yes. Everyone hates to do it and
pick up who calls too many fouls. That's really what it comes out. And sometimes it also can
benefit the team that just committed the foul in a weird way. If they go back and they completely
stop the game, take everybody out of a rhythm, it can totally derail a team that's playing
really well at the moment. If you have to wait five, six minutes to figure out what's
going to happen, like these, these things actually do have an effect on the game. And
then you have the aspect of like trying to figure out whether or not a play is reviewable
before they go into the review. And then that's another distraction from the game. I'm with
you. Like that isn't up to make most people like just completely lose interest. My intention
span is usually 15 seconds anyways. So if you take me out of that, I'm going to pick
up my phone. I'm going to like walk over to Mike. I'm going to get a drink and that's
even harder in the regular season, right? Yeah. I mean, if you're watching a regular
season game and they take your attention away, that's no good for anybody. You know what
I mean? It's like, Oh, was this a flagrant? Like, Oh, he hit his eyelash. Hey man, that
was in the upper whatever. And that's two free throws on the ball. You know, and then,
and then if he does it again, he's out the game, a superstar. Yeah. And by then I don't
even care because I'm watching mash or something like that. So you're big mash guy mash mash.
Oh, of course. Yeah. With my grandma, with my grandma, dude, religiously, I had one last
question. This has been great, Chris. We appreciate it. You can go listen to Chris's new single.
I wanted all you can listen to it on Spotify. I wanted all new song out there now with DZ
Brown. Final question is brought to you by cross country mortgage America's crazy good
mortgage company. Go to CCM lens.com slash take to learn more about your future home buying
experience or refinancing needs, equal housing opportunity. So give us your prediction for
the rest of the finals and then a follow up. Uh, why do you think this doesn't really count
as a finals win for LeBron? If the Lakers do win? Cause you were saying that before
we started really count. Yeah. You were saying that before that, like it's kind of an asterisk
before we start taping, you know, you're like, this is an asterisk for LeBron. We're not
counting this. And we're like, Chris, I thought you guys are funny. What the hell, man? We thought
you were cool with him, but we'll follow your lead on this one. Go ahead and tell us. Hey,
let me tell you something. I don't have any finals wins in 2020 or 19 or 18. But yeah, I mean,
I think, um, I think I got the heat taking game for me. I want a series. I don't know if Jimmy
can give another performance like that, but I think he's given his team confidence. He's
inspired them and I look for them to play a much, much better game. Of course, it'll be a
closer game down to the wire. But yeah, I got, I got the heat and the dramatic finish and, you
know, winter take all in the next two out of three. Love anything could happen. You should
tell them that you'll make, you'll write a song about them if they win the NBA title.
Come on. I mean, that'll be, that'll be instant. We'll go right to the studio. Like, you know,
they went, yeah, they, they, they start getting this thing, you know, closer and closer, we'll
be in the studio as it's happening. Do you have Pitbull's number? Call Pitbull up. Get him on the
track too. Yeah, I do have, I do have one, one last question. I just thought of this. If you were
on the heat right now, Chris Bosch, as you're 36, right? 36. I'm 36. 36. You're a veteran. You're
a Wiley veteran on the heat right now. Are you paying for Jimmy's coffee? No. Okay. That's what I
thought. Yeah. I'm a Disney world. I'm going to get some of that Disney world coffee. Okay. So
you're boycotting Jimmy's. Now are you saying though? I wouldn't boy, boycotting. I wouldn't
boycott. I just wouldn't buy it. I wouldn't purchase it. Would you deal it? Would you? Yeah. Would
you be like, Jimmy, give it to me. I'm the vet here. And like, yeah, I just, I just, you know, I
see you and if he resisted, I'd be like, all right, cool. You know, all right, cool. But I
definitely try to just take coffee later. I'm not paying for it. Okay. I'm not paying for coffee,
bro. That's the thing is I think people keep talking about Jimmy getting like all this, you
know, charging all his teammates. It's cause he's probably charging all like they got young guys,
you know, like Duncan Robinson is paying for sure. Myers Leonard is paying for the coffee. Now
with that said, with that said, if he makes a great cup of coffee, that's a whole other
conversation. I'm serious about my coffee. You know, and I'm, you know, I don't know, they
probably don't have cash in the bubble. I don't know how that works. I don't have a cash app and
all that stuff like you guys. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? But like, if they,
if it's a, if it's a, if it's worth, what is it $40 now? I think it's crazy. Is it up to 40 now?
I think it's a finals pricing. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like it's premium. Yeah. Premium pricing. I mean,
if it's worth, if I get that satisfaction, I pay $20, $40 for a cup of coffee and I get it, then
okay, but he's got to make a hell of a cup of coffee and the cups need to be like, you know,
you can, you can take those home with a ceramic autograph. Yeah, autograph it. Uh-huh. I need a
picture. I need you to tweet me a shout out. I need all that stuff. Jimmy probably did get an ATM
delivered just to his room and put like a 999 surcharge on all the draws. So you can get cash
out. He's got the logos. He's got the hats. I mean, this is crazy. The whole thing. Awesome. Well,
man. Thank you, Chris. We really appreciate it, man. And hopefully we get to see you in person
sometime soon. Yeah, for sure, man. I hope you guys are being safe. Yeah, definitely,
definitely, definitely will love to come and see you guys up there again, man. You guys have
one of the craziest spots in New York, man. It's great to see you. Yeah. And congrats on the music.
Yeah. Appreciate that. I appreciate that. All right. Thanks, man. Take it easy. Thanks, Chris.
That interview was brought to you by our great friends over at 3G. You guys know 3G. We love
3G. I really enjoy their gummies. I like their vapes too. They've got tinctures. They've got oils.
3G is the leader in hemp derived cannabinoid products. All their products are formulated by
biochemists and they have that Delta 8 THC. That's that good, good. That's the good, good. It's a
federally legal version of THC. It's not Delta 9 THC like you might be used to purchasing,
whether it's in one of the dispensaries or maybe from your friend Joey Sly. Delta 8 THC is a perfect
hybrid of CBD and Delta 9. It gives you a similar buzz and all the medicinal effects of Delta 9,
but you don't get the laziness. You don't get the anxiety. You don't get the paranoia. You don't
get the mental fogginess. Delta 8 users are far more active. They feel far more outgoing with
increased confidence and almost none of the anxiousness and paranoia that you get with Delta 9.
Again, it's federally legal. It's a version of THC. It's a great substitute for anyone that
uses Delta 9 that wants the same great feeling without the negative side effect. They're not
just the best in the Delta 8 industry. 3G invented the entire industry. It's 100% hemp
derived. It's federally legal and you can get it online at 3G.com. That's the number 3CHI.com.
You can go to select retailers around the country. You have to be 21 to purchase. It's going to
make you feel awesome as a PFT guarantee. I feel awesome when I take 3G. That's a fact. You can
put that on the back of all your labels 3G. PFT says, I feel awesome when I take 3G. Also,
again, take half of one of their gummies the first time that you try it, then maybe level up
afterwards, see how it affects you. You're going to feel great. You'll thank me later. Use promo

edibles. Use promo code PMT at checkout. 5% off your order. Now, here's DK Metcalf.
Okay, we now welcome on recurring guest. My good friend, PFT's rival is DK Metcalf from the
Seattle Seahawks. Top five wide receiver. I'm hearing that buzz. Well, but for me, no, from
everywhere, I said, no, I said, I said you were a top five wide receiver actually as much shit as
I give you. I said that on Sunday show. I looked you up. I looked this up online. This is kind of
backhand handed compliment. NBC Sports said for overreaction Monday, DK Metcalf is the top five
wide receiver, which is like saying he's not a top five wide receiver. So do you take any
offense by that? No, I mean, I don't care because I know who I am in my mind, but appreciate the
support, bro. I'm PFT. You know, you give me a lot of crap. You know, I appreciate the support
calling me a top five wide receiver, but I'm going to just go go back on Sundays and just
continue to do me continue to do my thing. So when you say continue to do you continue to do
your thing, does that count dropping the ball or getting stripped at the one yard line? Like
where is that part of your thing now? I mean, you wouldn't understand because, you know, you've
never been in front of a defender as far as I have. So I mean, it was a it was a stupid mistake
on my part. I really thought I burnt them bad and didn't think he was going to come back. I know
that hard, but no, I lived and I learned. It definitely won't happen again. So real question,
though, what happens? Like take us through the next five minutes on the sideline after that,
because obviously you're a tremendous competitor. You beat yourself up, but do people come up to
you and like, Hey, you got the next one or someone like, Hey, dude, you're an idiot. That's the
worst part. You know, during the game, I don't think people would call me, you know, the idiot,
like, you know, you shouldn't have done that, but because I already know that. But, you know,
people just trying to encourage me, like, just go get the next one, just get the next one. It's
cool. Just don't don't let it happen again. So that's what everybody else was saying on the
sideline. But I was, I was really just laughing it off because I was like, I really just did that.
Like, right. We just tried to walk into the end zone. And the dude really stripped the ball away
from me, like knocked it out of my hands. Like it was just like one of those like, damn, like my
heart sunk to my stomach right after it happened. But you won. You won. I imagine. Yeah, I imagine,
tell us what the, what the, um, what it looked like. Did someone just walk into your room?
I mean, it's my post. Okay. Uh, what was film like though, the next day?
Uh, you know, everybody, they showed the clip a couple times said, you know, you can't do this,
can't don't let it happen again. I was sick and tired of seeing the clip by then, even the next
day on a Monday. And it just happened that Sunday, uh, Sunday evening. I was tired of seeing it.
I know I got mad a couple times and I didn't talk to anybody during the meeting. Like I was laser
focused from, from that point on. Um, but you know, I'm glad it happened to me and not anybody
else though. Yeah. I know I could take it to Sean Jackson, reach out to you and say, Hey, man, it
gets better. I'm pretty sure you, you should have reached out to me. Well, I did. I did. I
pointed out that I didn't hear much from you. I did reach out to you because I told you online,
I said, DK, the big red flag about him was his one yard split was the slowest of any wide receiver
group. So like that last yard that you got caught on, that was something that scouts knew coming
out of college. You know, what I would like to see though is you do that. The one yard. I guarantee
I'm faster than you in one yard split. I promise you that. I promise you that. Promise. Also,
promise bro. Are you concerned maybe you've, you've lost a step because your, your cuts are too
good now. Like you've lost that straight line speed. I don't, I don't lose a step. Okay. I don't,
I don't lose a step as you, you can see, you just told me Sunday that, you know, I pretty much
gained the step in my opinion because you caught me a top five by receiving. Yeah, I did. In that
case, in that case, do you need, do I need to call you a top five kicker in order for you to feel
happier? No, because I know the middle never changes. I'm my own worst critic. So if I start to
tell myself I'm a top five kicker, I start hearing that from you. That's rat poison. And I don't
need that from media guys like you. I'm just, I'm focused on doing my job. Oh, you only got to
hear from me because you're not a top five. You're not even top 10. All right. Well, one other
thing that you said was you, you came at me because you wanted to go viral. You want to get
your clicks in whatever that's fine. You took a cheap shot and said that I don't at you on Sundays,
which I've rectified by the way, but then you accused me of having a man crush on you because I
tweet about you when you screw up. In reality, I think you have man crush on me because you're
always checking my timeline after game, seeing what I might have said about you.
You see, that's where you got to misconstrued. Okay. So I have to actually hear from other people.
That's where the real like, you know, line come comes in like a real man would say something to
me instead of sub tweeting me or just putting my name in a tweet like at me. The app button is
there for a reason.
Well, because I know you're going to search my, you're going to search your name and you're
going to search my timeline later.
I don't search my name. I don't search my name. People tag me in, in what you say. And then
that's how I see it. I don't, I don't, I don't go looking for trouble.
How about this? I'll have big cat tag you in every time every time I mentioned you. He'll
snitch on you on it.
Yeah, I got you.
What I bet that makes, that makes sense.
Yeah, I got you. What do you say to fantasy owners that might have lost because you got stripped
the one yard line put themselves in?
Well, that I mean, they, I don't think like personally, if I had you on my team, I probably
wouldn't start me over you.
Exactly. So
But I would also like you not to fumble the one yard line. Is that too much to ask?
I mean, put yourself in. All right. So every fantasy owner out there, let me ask you this.
Do I, do I not gain as many yards or do I not score on purpose?
Is that, is that something I don't do? Of course I want to score. Of course I want to win. Of
course I want to gain as many yards as I can.
To have the team win.
Fair.
So anybody who has a problem with that, like, go start yourself, go draft yourself. I'm
pretty sure, you know, it's probably impossible to do that. So don't, don't come at me when,
you know, you say I'm not trying my hardest when, you know, I really, I want to see myself
do, do good as well as the team. So I'm not, I'm not out there just, you know, shouldn't
the bed on purpose?
Yeah.
Well, what was good was you scored a touchdown later that game. So you can always say, like,
I scored that touchdown for my fantasy owners out there to give them a little taste because
I did screw that one up.
But if you lost in fantasy because DK fumbled that touchdown, please tag him tomorrow and
let him know that you demand justice.
And that's what real men do.
Yes, tag people.
All right. So I have some stats for you though, because you have been having an unbelievable
year not to pump you up because I know you got confidence.
When I saw this stat today and it's eye popping, you have right now you're averaging 25.2
yards per reception. That's insane. 16 catches, 403 yards on pace for 64, 1600 yards.
Now, I've seen the player comp analogy that's been going around.
I actually kind of agree with it, but to Hall of Famer, do you model anything after him?
Or I mean, like, when people say that, are you like, thank you, I appreciate it, but
I got a long way to go.
Or what are your thoughts?
I do appreciate the comparisons and all of that. But, you know, I'm my own person.
I'm not trying to be like anybody else.
I'm trying to be like DK, Mask.
I'm trying to be like DK on the field.
I mean, the comparisons are great.
They're comparing me to a Hall of Famer, but, you know, in my own mind, I'm trying to be me
and I'm trying to be the best me that I can be.
But that's a great comparison to have, a Hall of Famer.
So I think what you should do is you should lean into it and you should demand a trade
and really be TO.
I don't get the joke.
You do get the joke because you're smiling.
You should demand a trade.
Do some driveway sit ups.
Do some drive.
We love working out with the cameras.
Order back.
Go ahead.
I'm good where I'm at.
I promise you, I'm living good, as you can see.
Yeah, you got a massage room.
Yeah, you look your your bedroom looks like my dorm room.
Your bedroom looks exactly like that.
It wears your boondocks post.
Is that just is that I'm pretty, I'm pretty sure y'all just pull out of air
matches and just sleep right there.
Basically, this is a kids is like a scared straight.
Hey kids, this is what happens when you get drafted in the second round, not the
first round with the bedroom, like the case.
I've noticed that you've been going real hard on the Russell Wilson for MVP
train. You're leading that.
You've tweeted about him and obviously, like I can see why you'd say that about
your quarterback so that he keeps passing you the ball.
But the fact is he has twice as many interceptions as Josh Allen does.
So that's kind of a problem as a voter, as an MVP voter.
I look at mistakes first, and that's kind of a red flag from here.
You can start about that.
Who Josh Allen has has half as many interceptions is zero.
As Russell Wilson is zero.
Oh, I thought he had one.
Oh, yeah, we're not counting.
We're not counting.
He has two fewer interceptions than Russell Wilson does.
I mean, touchdowns.
Yeah, 12, 13.
Actually, if you cut the John Brown one.
So exactly as many as as Russell Wilson negative.
You must haven't seen the stats.
Russell had 16 touchdowns.
What?
Oh, I thought he had 13.
Well, I took away three because they were against the Cowboys.
Agreed.
That shouldn't count against that.
You know what?
If you have to, he would have 17.
That's true.
That's a good one.
I mean, yeah, that is true.
Imagine if you cost me MVP.
Imagine if he has like 50 touchdown passes and Aaron Rodgers has 51.
What are you going to feel like then?
I'm pretty sure he has more rushing yards than Aaron Rodgers.
The next question.
Oh, you're tied for the for the lead league in receiving with Stefan Diggs.
Yeah, if you if you had one more yard, I bet that'd be nice.
Look, I'm not even tripping.
If this conversation was last week, I'm pretty sure we have got
we would have been gotten to a heated argument by now.
Yeah, you're over now.
It's good that we're doing this now.
I mean, a week go by before we really gave you shit.
Yeah, we won.
So I'm not even I'm not even tripping.
But last week.
Oh, yeah.
You wouldn't have thought I probably would have faced you after this.
Yeah. So I saw that you also you put out a rap song.
You did a little collaboration with Shady.
Is that Shady is the name of the song?
Who's the other guy on the track?
The guy that carries it.
Good friend from
my good friend from up here in Seattle, man.
His name is Rue.
He goes by King Koto.
OK, you really like the auto tune, huh?
How much auto tune?
You really like it's really my voice.
It's really my voice.
No auto tune on there?
Not much. No.
I did notice that one of the lyrics, you said that
like it was kind of a diss at all the tough guys talking tough on Twitter out there.
I couldn't help but feel like I was a slight at me.
Hey, if the shoe fits, then, you know, I'm going to have
if you're putting all the things I have to say is why
why do you feel threatened by that lyric?
Because I know you spend all the time scrolling my timeline.
You're probably looking at my timeline.
Oh, as you're recording that.
And if I drop the track tracks on me, I'm not afraid to clap back.
All right.
I don't even think I follow you.
Yes, you do.
You definitely you definitely follow me, because I'm faster than you.
Mm hmm. Oh.
Got you there.
Got you there.
No, I won't.
I walk right in.
Use that for your next track.
I got a real question.
No. I got a real question.
We've we've talked to a couple of players since the season.
So I tried to mark Ingram and Cam Jordan last week, but is how is it?
with no fans. Is it tough to get like hyped up? Is it tough? Are there moments in the
game where you kind of zone out, maybe not when you're on the field, but on the sideline?
How does the energy feel like from a player's perspective? Because from the fan perspective,
it looks the same as long as they don't show the stands, obviously.
Exactly. Yeah. I mean, it feels the same out there. I'm not gonna lie. We still just,
they still keeping score. It's still a defense out there trying to stop you. So in my mind,
the way it feels out there is not any different. I know we play in Miami Sunday. And just to
have some fans in the stands, it did feel different in Miami. It felt better, even though
it was hot as hell out there, but it did feel better in Miami.
I believe that. I think that like, you know, even like, I think the Steelers are having
7,500 fans this weekend. Even a few fans has to be better than no fans. It just feels like
someone's actually watching you.
Exactly. Yeah. I know, up here in Seattle, we've had two home games. And I mean, just
having our fans out there is gonna make a big difference, whether it's, you know, a thousand,
two thousand or 50,000 is gonna make a big difference. But I would love to, for the Seahawks
to allow, you know, a couple fans back in the stadium.
PFT, could you imagine if Seahawk was there in that? That's his end zone that DK fumbled
out of. He would have been, he would have raged, he would have raged Seahawk and then
like five guys wearing the receiver gloves. Yeah, they would have raged. Those guys get
pissed. There's one that has like a hawk, like the hawk wings to us. Is there, is there
anything? Yeah. How about this? When we allow fans, you come to a game. Okay. And I'll hold
up a sign saying, don't stop. Yeah. We do like the Babe Ruth, like for a sick kid, you
promised me one fumble out of the end zone.
That would be amazing though. If you scored a touchdown, it was like Cam Newton handing
the ball to a three year old girl and he just came up to me in the front row and gave me
the ball.
Funny, you low key funny. I'm not, I'm not giving you no problems.
Oh, thanks. You're low key a top five receiver. Overreaction Wednesday. Yeah.
Why are you doing it? So, who's side are you on big cap?
I'm kind of, I'm neutral in here. I mean, obviously, if it really got down to it, like
if PFT looked at me and gave me the look like, yo, we got to fuck DK up, we'd fuck you up.
But up until that point, like, I'll still be friends with you.
Do you really think you can do that though? Yeah. Yeah. No, if he gave me that look.
The two of us together? Yeah. Why your voice change? Why your voice change?
What do you mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would fuck you up.
Because he's in a fight. You're not, you're not confident.
I would throw hands and I would fuck you up and then I would do the dog piss on you.
The Ole Miss, the Ole Miss celebration.
I'll tie your shoes. When was the last time you got into a fight, DK?
I'll tie my shoes. What's up? When was the last time you got into a fight?
Middle school. The fact that you got to think that long about it tells me you're not really an alpha.
Me and Big Cat, we throw down like every week. Yeah, just to stay sharp.
How about this? How about this? The reason I had to think about it so long
was I had to think about when the last time somebody really actually tried me.
Oh. And not over Twitter.
Okay. Well, so you're out of practice then is what I'm hearing. Yeah.
I'm what? You're out of practice then. What about on the football field?
Have you ever tried to punch somebody who's wearing a helmet?
No, that's done. To punch somebody wearing a helmet. Yeah, you think too much.
I would imagine most cornerbacks don't want to try you.
I would say that they probably don't want to try you. Have you talked to Lane Kiffin?
We're on the lane train now. I know my boy P.R.T. hit me up.
He's excited about it. Yeah. No, I haven't talked to him though.
Okay. So we're bigger Ole Miss fans than you. That's crazy.
Crazy. What school are you supporting again? Ole Miss.
Or as some people call Ole Piss.
All right. So why are you wearing a dating shirt? This is for Obi Toppin.
They don't have a football team. They might. No, I don't think they have a football team.
Yeah, they do. They do. Well, their football team doesn't matter.
Their basketball team ain't no stop in Obi Toppin future for Chicago.
It seems like you're pretty nervous because you just start twisting your ankle.
So I'm going to go with you. No, I always do this.
I'm actually loosening up my ankles in case this gets more heated.
In case it gets physical. And I have to run out of the studio.
Yeah. What did you think about Lane Kiffin flushing the toilet during media day?
I mean, I thought it was very funny in my opinion.
I mean, the guy's a character.
Was it number one or number two? I think he was dropping a deuce.
Definitely a deuce. Yeah. He got up and of course he's dropping deuce.
Cranked it out. Hit the flush.
By the way, we were talking about this last week.
How bad does that flight to Miami suck?
If you have to fly down there, play a game and then fly back.
It seems like that would ruin my entire week.
Yeah, it was terrible. Six hours on the plane.
You get a meal? Yeah.
Are there beds on those planes?
If I was an owner, I would, I would, I would get like, yeah,
but I would get a jumbo jet and just put a bunch of like, like king size beds
and have my team be real comfortable.
See, no, that's what y'all do. Right.
I need to get over there. I'd be a great owner.
That's that's a fucking awesome owner.
There are 70 people flying on the plane.
70 beds. That's good. You can fit that.
How many ping pong balls inside of a 747?
I'm sorry. What's the question?
How many ping pong balls inside of 747?
How many, how many lights was it lamp posts in Manhattan?
These are the type of questions.
These are the type of questions you're going to have to answer
when you're out of the league in a couple of years.
Yeah, when you have to get a job working like Wolf of Wall Street type stuff.
This is how they figure out who the real smart people are.
That's why I'm a work hard now.
That's why I won't have to get a job.
You have been unbelievable this year.
I do like to see, I can't believe you don't, I guess you don't want to be
compared to another guy, but the TO comparison is spot on.
I mean that in the best way, like you are.
I mean, for people, I would rather, I would, I have no problem being compared to
TO Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson or Julio.
Yeah.
Hands down, no problem being compared to.
I don't like being compared to anybody, but if somebody said those four,
I'm going to take it with a grain of salt and just keep it pushing.
But I mean, it's not, not a bad comparison.
Do you have a nickname?
You need a nickname to get some real buzz going about you.
DK.
That's my nickname.
DK?
That's a pretty good nickname.
What about, well, no, actually I looked this up because I Googled DK Metcalf nickname.
You gave yourself a nickname when you were in high school on your high school
highlight reel, Optimus Megacath.
Whoa.
That's pretty cool.
How did you think of that one?
You must have a lot of friends.
How high were you when you thought of Optimus Megacath?
You definitely didn't have any friends or like, dude, that's lame.
No, no, everybody liked it.
Everybody was calling me Optimus or money.
Those are my two nicknames in high school.
I have one last question.
I searched, sometimes we do the, if you go on Google and you do people also ask,
there'll be a bunch of questions.
And the first one is how many passes has DK Metcalf dropped?
Do you know the answer?
I don't.
Of his 74 catchable targets, the former Ole Miss standout had seven passes
from star quarterback Russell Wilson, slipped through his hands as a result,
Metcalf finished tied with the fourth most drops in 2019.
That's last year though.
That's just what people ask.
I didn't ask that.
That was Google.
I didn't ask that.
I would never ask that.
Are you mad that Russell doesn't throw as many interceptions?
So that way you'll never have the stat, the Larry Fitzgerald stat,
which is he has more tackles than drop passes.
There you go.
Compare me to another person.
You won't reach that because Russell selfishly doesn't throw as many interceptions.
Yeah.
He doesn't allow you to get those tackle stats up.
Yeah, but at least they're Googling my name for a reason.
True.
I didn't ask that again.
I think you're having a great year.
Top five.
TO.
Beast.
How many passes have I dropped this year?
You dropped one last week.
I did.
Maybe maybe made that up.
Yeah.
Well, the Fumble counts as like five in my book, but it counts as one statistically.
No, zero.
Actually, I think that counts as a caught pass.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why don't why don't you run at people and punch them in the face more like like George
Kittle does.
Good question.
You're about the same size.
I'm not George Kittle.
George Kittle is a beast.
Yeah.
I just think it'd be cool.
Yeah, he is.
You're big enough.
You can do it.
I'd like to see you knock out a free safety this year.
And I'd like to see you play in an NFL game.
Yeah.
Same.
You have one drop this year.
Jake just looked it up.
That's not bad.
So you actually have fixed that part of your game.
There we go.
Fuck the Google question.
I appreciate it.
Jake.
Yeah.
Jake got you.
Do you have any questions for us?
He's the only cool one out of all of y'all.
Wow.
Yeah.
Do you have any questions for us before we let you go?
I mean, you know that we, we like, you, I don't even know if you listen on Mondays,
but we've been pumping you up every Monday.
No, I really, I really don't know how to take that because your boy over here talks so much.
Yeah, that's true.
I've been saying good stuff about you, DK, just during the game.
Iron sharpens iron, you know?
Like if I don't coach you up hard, I know how you like to be coached.
Yeah, that's true.
If I don't, if I don't get on you and dog cuss you, then you might not perform next week.
So in reality, you should be thanking me for being such an asshole.
PEFT, I got a question for you.
How do you feel about the Fabio comparison?
Fabio, excellently?
Oh no, DK Metcalf compared me to the sexiest man in the history of romance novels.
They're like all women want to fuck.
I'm just, I'm just asking.
I'm fine being compared to Fabio.
That's good.
Fabio is famous for a lot of stuff, having great hair.
Hit by that bird on that roller coaster.
Nose broken by Peregrine Falcon.
You name it.
But lately I've been hearing, lately I've been hearing the trolls comparison, like which
one, which one you going to rock with?
It's true.
We haven't heard from Fabio in a while.
What's up with Fabio?
Is he past his prime?
Like is Fabio getting fat?
Is he dead?
How funny would it be if Fabio was just fat as fuck?
I bet you Fabio has COVID.
Fabio Lanzoni.
Fabio Lanzoni.
What's he up to?
Let's see.
Are we still alive?
What is happening?
Hey, look, here's the people also asked, what has happened to Fabio?
Fabio always, he's an American citizen in 2016 and lives in Los Angeles where he now
enjoys a life.
A lot of people in Hollywood celebrities, they take themselves too seriously.
That's a quote from Fabio.
This is pretty good too.
They said, someone asked him, why do women always go crazy for you?
And he responded by explaining, it's just because he's always himself.
So he's just like, it's because I'm Fabio.
Right.
That's a dumb question.
I'm fucking Fabio.
Yes.
He is Fabio.
So yeah.
That's a little bit of comparison.
The Trolldoll comparison, I think that just kind of came out of nowhere.
A little far fetched.
You're a little far fetched on that one.
Yeah.
That's what I was thinking the same thing like, why would y'all even compare?
Yeah.
So in the future, you're going to drop the Troll comparison.
Big Cat's going to at you every time I talk shit about you online so that you're kept
informed of that.
And I'm going to continue saying I'm a fan and hoping that you continue to be like T.O.
And just dominate everyone.
And I believe your boy Big Cat was a little insecure about his shoes.
He tied him.
No, I tied him.
You told me it's time.
You said we're going to fight.
I tied my shoes.
I'm ready to go.
I'm a little insecure about his shoes.
All right, DK.
All right.
Always good catching up with you, man.
Good to see you.
Be safe.
Don't take too much offense when I drop a fire-ass diss track on you.
And hold the ball when you're getting into no touchdowns free, okay?
Just remember that.
From the diss track.
High and tight.
Yeah.
Drop another ball at the goal.
And also everyone who lost their fantasy matchup, please make sure you at DK tomorrow
and let him know.
You did.
Hank.
Hank lost his fantasy matchup because where is everybody coming from?
Who's a thanks?
Thanks to our producer.
He's sitting behind the, the, uh, he lost it.
Go ahead.
Hank, tell him, tell him how much damage you went through a lot, a lot of damage and
hurt, but it's all right.
I drafted you because you know, you're my boy.
All right.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Thank you.
Wow.
Because I never.
Thank you.
I'm going to do better because, you know, I've, I've, I've met you.
We have, we have a connection over, you know, zoom.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You met him at the Super Bowl too.
That means a lot.
Yeah.
All right, DK.
Thanks so much, man.
We'll talk to you later.
Good luck.
Kick the shit out of Kirk Cousins.
Yeah.
Good luck on Sunday night.
I appreciate it.
See you man.

Billy's switched up from washing his shoes to now just wearing shoes that are naturally

Wait, are those white shoes?
No.
Yeah, those are white shoes.
Billy, you do look lean, dude.
No, for real, though.
You look lean.
Thank you.
I've been trying.
Yeah.
Belly football is gone.
It's good, because we don't want an ugly intern.
That would be so gross.
Very bad for the brand.
People would be like, ew.
We got to fire Jay Marriotti.
Mm-hmm.
Done.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
Yeah.
All right.
Go, Hank.
Hey, fuckcat.
Oh.
Fuckcat.
I have really original.
I have two friends who are dating.
I've always been really good friends with the guy, but now, since he has started dating
his girlfriend, I would consider myself super close to her, too.
I would even say that I now consider them my two best friends.
The problem is, he cheats on her all the time, and oftentimes, the people in our friend group.
He even took the virginity of one of the girls in our group.
Everyone seems to know but her.
If they were to break up, everyone would take his side, as we were all friends with him
at first.
Many of her friends tried to confront her about him before they even started dating, and she
just brushed it off.
So now, her friends are all his friends.
She's truly the sweetest person on earth, and he's an absolute piece of shit.
But I love them both dearly.
Do I tell her about the situation or continue to act like I don't know anything?
P.S.
Billy, DM me back.
Okay, wait.
So, oh.
Billy has to talk to girls.
Oh.
I don't talk to girls.
Oh.
Wait.
So this guy cheats on his girlfriend and also stole all her friends because he's, like,
on.
And apparently he's hooking up with them.
This guy sounds awesome.
This guy sounds like a fucking gist.
This guy's cool as shit.
Like, can you tell this guy to DM Billy so Billy can be friends with him?
Yeah, teach him his ways.
Yeah, he'll reply to his DM.
Yeah, I don't know.
I would say just as a piece of advice, like, real piece of advice.
Just get really drunk and tell her.
Well, no.
Oh, wait.
No, it sounds like they did.
It sounds like they told her.
No, they tried to tell her beforehand.
Oh.
She brushed it off.
Yeah, I think you, no, I think you just stay out of it.
Write an anonymous note.
That's good.
I like that.
Maybe go old school like a ransom note.
Cut up a bunch of magazines that have the different letters and then use those.
Like, you're trying to, you know, stay way, way undercover so she can't trace the handwriting
back to you.
Or just stay out of it because, yeah, I just stay out of it.
You never want to get involved with myself.
That is a vacuum cleaner.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's a vacuum going.
What should I get my fiance as a present for our wedding day?
Hmm.
Did you do that?
What?
Wedding day.
Because you get a wedding.
A cake.
A cake.
The present is.
No, the cake is you.
Get him a PS5.
No, the groom's cake is always like the funniest thing where it's like, hey, we have this big
cake and then I got to get you a groom's cake and your only interests are like the New
York Mets.
Yeah.
So here is your groom's cake.
Here, I got to, I got you a single layer of sheet cake shaped like a PlayStation.
Yeah.
You're so shallow that the only thing that you like in your life besides me is the Denver
Nuggets.
Yeah.
I mean, you're the present, right?
That's how you should look at it.
Mm-hmm.
There it is.
You're the present.
I don't think you have to get him a present.
Just get him the cake.
Get him the fucking New York Mets cake.
Maybe have Mr. Matt come to the wedding and flip everyone.
Or as we always say, cash, cash is king.
Cash is king.
Slip him like a $20 bill.
Just be like, more where that came from.
No questions asked.
Don't spend it all in one place.
Yeah.
And steal it from him when you fucking him later on.
We never talked about this tweet.
Oh, yeah.
But Billy, I don't think you got, I don't know if you guys saw this, but it was when, can
you explain it, Billy?
Billy thought that guys wore engagement rings.
I thought that guys and girls got engagement rings.
No.
I got a, I got a.
That's great.
I got a girl to tweet.
Well, because I'm such a.
It was like, yeah, no, it's true.
You're so.
Equalist.
I thought that.
You're right.
That's a good point.
I thought that everyone got rings.
That's a good point.
That's actually a really good point.
But I really thought that the guy bought himself an engagement ring and the girl an
engagement ring.
And then he engaged.
These are the moments.
It was when Mahomes said the better ring was the engagement ring.
And Billy said the only problem in the home statement is the engagement ring takes up
a finger where a Super Bowl ring could go.
Oh, so you thought.
Disincentivizing him to win more rings.
Yeah.
So you thought he was saying the better ring was the engagement ring.
He was talking about his own personal.
I thought that I thought that you kneel, you kneel, give the girl an engagement ring.
A cock ring on.
You have a ring and then it's a wedding ring.
But you were talking about the Super Bowl ring and he.
Just hoping that they get engaged.
Why would I know how marriage rings work?
A promise ring?
If you were patching Mahomes, would you wear your Super Bowl ring as your wedding band?
Yeah.
I would.
Doesn't get much better than that.
Double jeopardy.
Real football guy.
Hey, Jake, Philly Cat, PMT and Big Dick Billy.
Three quick questions.
Oh, is that true?
No.
Do all men.
Size what?
Size your shoes?
All advertising.
What size?
14.
And what size are your shoes, Hank?
12.
That one person, when you, when you were trying to tell me that you were going to buy those
with the reverse parlay, the 10 and a half and someone said, oh, Hank's getting normie
some shoes.
I, that was funny.
I laughed at that.
My brother was a size 12 and like basically for probably like sophomore, junior, senior
year, freshman year college, I wore size 12 because I convinced myself I was a size
12.
Yeah.
I was like, I got older.
I was like, I was like, I'm not.
You were sick of getting blisters all the time?
Yeah.
I was just like, I put on a smaller pair.
She was like, oh, these actually fit.
These fit well.
You thought that your foot was like a goldfish and the size of the tank that it was in, it
would grow, it would expand until it filled up.
Yeah.
I like that.
I can respect that.
Three quick questions.
Do all men chew tobacco and hide it?
Is Tyga impressive and does Billy have an only fans?
AD got hurt.
Oh.
I believe my only fans.
Not all men chew tobacco and hide it, but most.
Yeah.
A lot of them just chew it and don't hide it.
Black Buffalo, not tobacco.
Shout out to Black Buffalo.
What was the second one?
Were we thinking of Tyga?
Is Tyga impressive?
I think he put his dick on only fans.
Tyga?
Tyga.
Tyga.
Don't know who that is.
Tyga.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pretty impressive.
YMCNB.
Pass.
Yeah.
I know who Tyga is.
Twista?
Remember Twista?
Tyga explained me.
Do you remember Twista?
Yeah.
Twista.
That one video that Twista had.
You used to date Kylie Jenner?
She was, those chicks were so hot.
Celebrity?
Oh.
Can make you a celebrity overnight?
No.
Fuck.
I'm going to Google it.
Twista music video hot.
Hey, PFT.
EA.
Big Cat's probably been here before.
Like PFT.
Big Cat, Hank, and William Football.
I have an odd one for you.
I actually have the bad one.
Hey, big daddy cat and small daddy PFT.
Hey, Hank.
So this weekend, my boyfriend and I were out and about trying to get a cat for our house
when I got my period randomly at the pet store and told him that we have to go home.
I know this sounds normal, but my boyfriend is kind of obsessed with periods and thinks
they're the coolest thing ever and always asks if he can see every time I tell him.
What should I do and how do I tell him, how do I let him down gently for stopping him
from wanting to see?
Also fuck the cubs, go carts.
He's just curious.
He's curious in terms of your anatomy.
He's a vampire.
I think that's healthy.
Good call, Billy.
Was it getting wet?
Is he iron deficient?
Because he might be looking at you as a source of nutrition.
I think you're thinking about Tiger.
Big cat.
I am?
Yeah.
Twista had get it wet and then he followed it up with wetter.
Yeah.
That's pretty nice.
That's a sequel.
Are you sure?
Twista.
Twista.
He was like early 2000s.
Yes, yes.
He had a couple of hot music videos, but it might have been songs that were featuring
Twista.
He was a big guy that would be featured.
He was featured?
He was featured a lot.
I'm sorry, but I'm checking out until I find...
Let's go with little John.
You gotta find this.
Yeah.
It is something about trying to find an old boner almost.
You're basically going back in time and be like, what was that thing that turned me on?
I gotta find that.
Look up celebrity.
Twista.
Celebrity.
When was that?
When did that come out?
Mid-2000s.
Maybe.
Finding a boner.
Hello everybody.
Big Cat PFT and dipshit Billy.
That's not nice.
Really not nice.
I'm a little confused with my boyfriend's thought process after a big fight that we had.
I told him I didn't want to see him for a few weeks and to leave the house.
I tried calling him and calling him, but no way.
This is fake.
All right.
My bad.
And then there's a big picture of this fellow sitting on the side of a bed.
Oh wait, it got me.
Hey guys, especially PFT.
It might have been overnight celebrity, but no, it was really, it really got me going.
Can you get verbally wooded?
Like in a question, if they write an entire question, then it says like, oh, then there's
a big black guy with his cock hanging out.
Twista.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
That'd be pretty cool.
Try doing that to heck next time.
My husband of eight years and I know.
My husband and I in eight years are going to Jamaica for vacation in mid-November.
Congrats on the vacation.
And last week he's been forcing me to watch sad movies.
I didn't know why until I overheard talking to his buddy, telling his buddy that he's
trying to make me cry, which will supposedly make me start my period.
So I'm not in my period during vacation.
My question are all guys this oblivious to a woman's body or is it just him?
It's like he's trying to recreate the moon.
All he needs to do, this is so simple.
This guy's an idiot.
Just paint a full moon on her ceiling or put like one of those glow in the dark moon
stickers because the periods are controlled by that.
I'm still looking for this.
I'm out.
But to answer your question, yes, every guy is exactly that dumb when it comes to period.
There are mysteries to us.
Might as well be trying to do calculus.
Sup, boys.
Sup, Billy.
I love your facts.
Please keep them going.
Why does my boyfriend follow half-naked girls on IG?
Does this allow me to be half-naked on IG or only fans?
IG maybe, only fans probably not.
Why do guys follow half-naked girls?
Because they're awesome to look at.
It's the algorithm.
We don't even have a choice.
It's not our fault.
That's true.
I get pushed into it.
Sometimes I'll follow a girl because she'll have like a very caption.
And then in the next picture that she puts up, it's like, oh, I'm dumping them out.
Right.
I feel violated.
When you join Instagram, it's like, who to follow?
And it's just, you don't have a choice.
They make you follow like 10 to 100 accounts right off the bat.
Yeah.
And it's just always girls for some reason.
So it's not really not as fault.
I follow like seven different Gin-Selter tribute accounts.
And the algorithm did all that for me.
All right.
Last one.
BigHat's checked out.
Hi, guys.
I think I found it, but I got it's bad.
Okay.
Do you regret your boner from back in the day?
No.
No, you never regret a boner.
Well, it's featuring a certain.
R. Kelly?
Yeah.
Oh, you didn't know at the time.
Yeah.
Forget it.
What did R. Kelly actually do?
No.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
That's it.
Ends the show.
Ends the show.
All right.
What number?
17.
No.
I'm too young to know what happened.
Very bad team.
A lot of bad teams.
It's like the worst dog dog ever.
It's like, oh, we don't talk about R. Kelly, but no, she says what happened with R. Kelly.
Billy's going to take every number under 18.
18.
17.
20.
40.
40.
40.
34.
34.
Just know it's very bad.
It's goodies in jail.
Let's say that.
What is it?
The Eagle Noise.
80.
80.
It's in what people think is the Eagle Noise.
It's like, ah, it's really actually a red-tailed hawk.
That's great.
Yeah.
Totally a different bird.
No, but they used the recording of a red-tailed hawk.
But everyone thinks it's an eagle.
That's a good fact.
Fucking hell.
Love you.
I'm hitting them with a hard count.
