Okay, let's go. It's part of my take.
There's an about harshness for.
Welcome to part of my take today is friday november third and the texas rangers are world
series champions.
I thought we had to start with that because we were obviously on an off day when the
rangers won the world series on Wednesday night.
We just the Rangers fans deserve
this.
You are world champions.
Incredible run.
Yeah.
Never lost a road game.
They were awesome on the road.
Congratulations to Rangers fans.
First World Series in the history of your franchise.
63 years.
Big moment.
Congrats to all the great ones.
Congrats to Nolan Ryan.
They were celebrating on top of his statue after the game. Adrian Beltrich.
Congrats to Rafi Palmero. All the great Rangers that we've seen. Roughnet O'Dour. Yep.
All the great ones. Yes. Congrats to Will Smith. Yes. Who is a three-time World Series champion,
first player to ever win three consecutive World Series on three different teams. I think
it's Saturday this year was $1.5 million. Best investment of all time. Go go every every team should try to go sign him. He won
with the Braves. He won with the Astros. He wins with the Rangers three years in a row. It's insane.
Bruce Boci already a Hall of Famer. Cement's an even more four World Series championships.
They showed the stat yesterday since he came back the first time, so obviously
was the Padres when he was managing against the Yankees, the World Series in 98, I believe.
When he came back with the Giants, 14 out of the last 15 postseason, actually 15 out of
the last 16 postseason series, he's won. That's insane. It is pretty incredible. Yeah.
Pig is heading baseball. Pig is heading baseball.
He's heading to quarter and in the quarter size incredible. Yeah, biggest head and baseball biggest head and baseball in a quarter and a quarter size
I don't know what that translates. I think it's 25 inches. Yeah, so it's like a small child's waist and they never lost on the road never lost on the road
Which is crazy?
Sorry to diamond backs fans out there. You guys had a good run here
And I did like that they put security guards around the pool after the game was over to make sure that the Rangers couldn't
You don't dip in another team's pool
Yep to celebrate that was smart
That would have been a bad visual for debax fans
You'd have to live with for a while and also
Massive congratulations to the New York Mets. Yes, because Jacob DeGrom and Mac Shurser one-world series
Yeah, they said that's I do it
They're gonna do it and they did it and all the Mets fans said like well, you know at least the Groms
Just gonna take a paycheck somewhere and write off into the sunset thinking that he
wouldn't be competing for World Series.
Well, Jake to Grom World Series champion World Series champion.
Yeah.
The Rangers, incredible run.
I mean, not losing on the road is just insane.
I like that's that's such an accomplishment.
And I know that people will say, oh, the ratings are so low, who the fuck cares?
No one, no one cares.
I don't care.
I do not care that the ratings were low.
Rangers fans deserve this.
I saw a couple of videos of them, like going crazy in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
It was awesome.
I have one last thing about baseball, then we'll talk quickly about Thursday and I football.
Little trivia for you, courtesy
of our friend, Marlon's man. You ready for this? Yeah. Okay. Marlon's man posted this last night
after the Rangers had won. He said, who is the last team to celebrate winning the World Series
in their home stadium as the home team? Quick. Who answer will surprise you? Quick. Who answer
will surprise you? Is it the Kansas City Royals? Red Sox. It was the
Houston Astros last year. Oh, okay. I know. Wild trivia. That is crazy. It did it. It's
some rock. That's it. It's like it's not. Red Sox 2013. That wasn't that long. Literally
every reply was like, dude, last year, that is the Okie do. That's a great trivia question.
I think you forgot, but he definitely did because you don't ask that question if the answer...
I guess the answer did surprise me though.
It did surprise you. Max, it surprised you.
I don't care.
Okay, all right.
Well, we also had Thursday night football.
I have two takeaways from this game.
One is, Will Levis is good.
Yeah. Will Levis is good.
He's the guy.
That was a game that you thought short-rest,
going to Pittsburgh,
tough defense, tough pass rush. I did not think that he would have the game that he had. He was in
that game all the way to the end. Obviously an interception at the end, but you know, you're
there's 11 seconds left. You got to force it. He his spiral is beautiful. You know what?
Effortless. The ball is different. Yeah. Coming out of his hand. Yeah. It looks hands in the pocket. He really does. So that was my first one. And my second one was
I kind of love the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fact that they play the ugliest games. But they're
a lot of fun. Yeah. Because they're always close and it feels like they're always dramatic. Because
this is the the Pittsburgh Steeler way. Hang around, hang around, hang around. Can he pick it?
Fourth quarter drive and then win with like, you know, their entire defense team off on
a quarterback.
Yeah, big difference today.
I thought it was Matt Canada being on the sidelines.
Yeah, it's it.
He's a different play color on the sidelines.
Yes, they were getting, they're running some plays besides the, uh, the nausea up the middle
and then like a tight end screen for negative one yards.
They were mixing around a little bit.
They didn't really go down field that much.
George Pickens had a touchdown where he,
he should have gotten his other foot down.
That was one of the,
I think he was like three or four yards in bounds
when his first foot hit,
and then he didn't drag the second foot,
stepped out of bounds.
Deonte Johnson got a shot out of Deonte.
Since 2021.
The last guy who threw him a touchdown
was Ben Rothleberger.
And it had been, it had become,
it was a joke between us here
because Jersey Jerry, our friend,
who's a Steelers fan,
had been telling us to bet Deontay Johnson touchdown
for what felt like five years, never scored.
But it also had become like a pretty big story
because Out Michaels mentioned it multiple times.
Yeah. And like to go to be a receiver like him
who has 20 plus touchdowns I think in his career
to go like a season and a half without a touchdown,
I'm happy for him.
Yeah, and also I'm happy for Out Michaels.
Out Michaels had a pretty good night today.
Yeah, he was a little juice stuff.
I think somebody got in his ear and was like,
Hey, I'll take this eight ball cocaine
before you go on the air tonight.
He's been a Pittsburgh guy.
I'm going. It was wonderful. Yeah, L, take this eight ball cocaine before you go on the air tonight. And it was a good game. It was a good one.
It was wonderful.
Yeah.
So it was a good game.
Other thing before we get to our picks and preview,
Bob Knight passed away.
Yeah.
I did like how all the obituraries tried to dance around
the fact that Bob Knight was a little bit of an asshole.
They were like controversial or, you know,
like checkered past.
Mercurial.
Bob Knight was a legend in the sports world.
If you grew up in the 80s, 90s,
even in the early 2000s,
Bob Knight was a bigger than, you know,
it felt like he was bigger than the sport at times.
And he was a character.
He was a character through and through.
Yeah, the thing you can say about Bob Knight
is people, there's somebody in the world right now
that is getting into a fight with somebody else
about Bob Knight's legacy.
Yes.
And that's what Bob Knight probably would have wanted.
That's how I want to be remembered.
I want somebody to fight somebody else
because of my legacy at some point.
He also, it felt like Bob Knight was a guy
who just lived to the extremes in every way.
Like you read stories about Bob Knight being like,
you know, his players loving him and, you know, like helping out other coaches and giving back to the community.
And then you read stories about him being like a tremendous asshole. He just lived at the
extremes at all times. And those people are interesting. Yeah. Those people make the
world like a funner place to cover sports and to watch sports and to see these type of characters.
So yeah, that, like, I just,
whenever someone dies, like,
you don't have to shoot on them right away.
No.
You can let it settle for a minute.
You can, at the very least, just let them know
that you have a check that hasn't been cashed.
Correct.
With their name on it.
That's the proper way to remember somebody.
He's like, that guy that just died,
I actually own a piece of his memorabilia.
Yes.
And it's not really a piece of memorabilia.
It's a check that he wrote that was never cash.
Yes.
That's another great way to be remembered.
Also, Bob Knight, when he gave that speech at Indiana,
said, bury me upside down so my critics can kiss my ass.
What a great moment, that was awesome.
What a great moment.
He also was the first to call MJ.
There's a lot of stories about Bob Knight being like MJ is the best player
he's ever seen when he coached the Olympic team in 1984. The famous story goes that the Portland
Trailblazers with the second pick called Bob Knight and asked them and they were like we need a
center. He's like so they play Michael Jordan at center. And so he would yeah he's he's he's touched
all like air is a basketball the craziest Bob Knight stat is he has the last perfect season,
which is nuts 1976, I believe three national titles,
you know, many final fours, all these big 10 championships.
Bob Knight had one NBA all star.
I say it's Thomas.
That's crazy.
It's nuts.
That's Bob Knight.
He had a system, Titus, who will have on to maybe do some college basketball preview
Said that his dad always used to say because he obviously grew up in Indiana huge basketball fan
His dad you always say that Bob Knight can take a bad basketball player and make him good and a great basketball player and make him good
Consistency. Yeah, I love to hear. Yeah, that's a Bob Knight way
He's the only coach that was smart enough to realize well, they have that's Michael Jordan right there
The only person on earth good enough to lock down well, they have, that's Michael Jordan right there.
The only person on earth good enough to lock down
Michael Jordan is Dan Dockridge.
Yes. Yes.
So Bob Knight, I mean, he is, he does,
those type of characters make sports more interesting.
They make guys like us.
They make them fun.
Yeah.
Maybe he wasn't always the fun.
He's got to play for it if you were one of his players.
Yeah.
Maybe you loved him, maybe you hated him.
But again, people right now are getting into a fight
because someone's like, Bob Knight was the greatest
and some guys like, no, Bob Knight was an asshole.
And then they fight about it.
Yeah, it's great.
Bob Knight did, he knew he was an asshole
because he said, many times, that he wants his players
to hate him because it gives him something in common.
They're united.
And the one thing they're united on is great way
to bring a team's chemistry coach.
Yeah.
So, all right, let's get to our picks and preview. We got a big, big week, uh, nine. I keep
saying week 10. I don't want to say week 10 week nine. So let's
do that. Okay, time for our picks and preview of week nine in the

Okay, boys, week nine of the NFL,
which means when we get to
The end of the one o'clock games will be officially at the halfway point of the season. I hate that okay
But now we get football football the real football is about to be played
You know, I'm gonna call this separation Sunday. Oh, I like it. I like it
I like I just like saying it and it looks like with these matchups
It might be real because we've got a lot of good matchups
And then we've got a lot of good matchups
and then we've got a lot of really shitty matchups.
But the nice thing is the good matchups,
you get one in every block.
Yes.
So there's good games going on at any given time
and then you've got a lot of guys and you're like,
oh wait, these two guys are playing quarterback.
So the good teams are gonna play each other
and we're gonna find out who's for real.
I like it.
It might be Fraudwatch someday too.
Yep. We're gonna find out who is for real I like it. It might be fraud watch someday too. Yep. We're going to find out who is for real.
So let's start it with the game in Germany dolphins at chiefs.
Now I spent essentially the last three weeks in my head
being like, I cannot wait to bet the chiefs.
I thought when they lost the Broncos, even better.
Now you get the chiefs under a field goal.
Patrick Roehme's under a field goal incredible
But the travel the travels an issue the chiefs are getting into Germany like right now
They're practicing one time that's right Friday one time
Macdaniel got the guys in there on like Monday or two
Monday morning
I think he left Sunday night. He built in a fun day for them
He's like you know what? I want you to go out and experience Germany,
see what it has to offer,
go sightseeing, form relationships with your teammates.
They've got fuck around time in Germany,
and that doesn't always end well.
But for these guys,
I feel like it's gonna be a good thing
where they get practices, they get a day off,
they get to hang out,
and it's also Mahomes first time ever going to Europe.
Who?
He's never been to Europe before.
You have his passport?
I don't know, that's a good question.
I don't know if they did passport day,
but he's excited to go over there and play
and have some fun out there per Patrick Mahomes.
Oh.
But he's also coming off the flu.
He is coming off the flu.
Nothing more to have to get on a long flight after the flu.
I, yeah, like this game, I would love to bet the cheese,
but the travel is so far in my head and we've seen it.
We've actually been probably the pre-eminent travel podcast
when it comes to tracking these things.
What do we have?
The Titans were sleepwalking.
Yep.
The Bills, I believe.
It was a combination of the Titan sleepwalking
and the Raven's past game over in London,
where they got blown out by like 40 points.
And then Harbaugh even said like,
I'm not doing that again.
And the Bills, I believe, also went and they they slept walk against the Jaguars.
So yeah, this is you have to bet tight.
Got a bit get you.
Sorry, but the dolphin.
We're betting it off.
We're betting on the clock.
We're betting on the clock.
That's what we're doing and I the only counter point is what time is it and Honolulu
when this game kicks off for two.
I have a really really stupid two of stat means absolutely nothing, but sounds really cool.
Okay, that's basically the show.
Yeah.
Tuah is 12 and one.
Damn it.
That's my nugget.
I was so excited.
Please don't yell like that.
That was scary.
The fuck out of me.
I realize how hot I was.
Okay.
Tuah is 12 and one against quarterback,
or sorry, against coaches that have won a Super Bowl.
That's pretty good. But it's not that cool because he's beaten Bill
Balochek six times. Six of those times. Yeah. So it's like, I went and looked at it.
I was like, it's McVeigh, Bellicek, Groot and John Peyton, Bellicek, a bunch more
times, Harbaugh and Mike Thomas. Well, per Henry Lockwood on part of my take,
Bellicek's not that good of a head coach. That's true. So I don't know what this,
that's what you said on on on on Monday's show, I believe.
But that is like a cool stat.
But it's dumb because once you look at it,
you're like it's six six and oh against Bill Balecheck
and the only time he's lost and you read.
Okay, that's that's relevant.
That's when it gets relevant.
That's relevant.
But beating Bella check six times is pretty good.
That is pretty cool. But like when you say 12 and one, you're like, damn, he beats That's when it gets relevant. That's relevant. But beating Belicec six times is pretty good. That is pretty cool.
But when you say 12 and 1, you're like,
damn, he beats all the Super-winning head coaches.
Yeah.
Well, you just beat Belicec six times.
I got some, I dove deep into the grass at the stadium.
Last night, I ended up watching two 10-minute long videos
of the guys installing the grass.
They do like a hole behind the scenes of what happens
because last year, you remember,
I was it, who played over in Europe last year?
Maybe the, the box, the box might have played there.
Yeah.
The grass was an issue.
Everybody was slipping everywhere.
It was a bad scene.
So they fixed it?
So the NFL just cucked this shit out of the Bundesliga
and they said, if we're gonna play a game over here next year,
the NFL is going to choose what type of grass
you have to play on.
So in Bermuda.
So we, it's a hybrid grass.
It's a hybrid.
So it's like 90% grass, 10% synthetic woven into it.
Interesting.
So they put it down a week ago.
Apparently it got rave reviews in the first soccer game.
I don't know how that translates to the NFL, but it's a brand new grass
system that they have.
Whether that it's not it's like, it's like grass with hair plugs.
Yeah.
It's top of Dave's head.
Exactly. Exactly. It was it was grown in Holland.
And then they moved the grass to Germany and installed it in Germany.
I'm going to say right now the grass can suck.
You can't move grass from Holland to Germany. Why not?
I feel like that's something something bad happens there.
Well, if it's grass grown in Holland or might be
that's true. That's true. That's true.
That'd be awesome if they played a game on hemp. Yeah. When, hemp field. I hemp was the future for a while. Oh,
it's everyone everyone's like hemp clothes hemp this sustainable hemp George Washington was 50% hemp. Yeah, his teeth were him horse teeth. They said
They didn't interview with Tyree kill this week and they asked him what to look for going into this game
And he said you guys get it all wrong. I'm not the most important player on this team. Two is not the most important player on this team.
You know who is?
Alec Engel.
The fullback.
Just got paid.
Therefore, Alec Engel, anytime touched down this weekend.
The only thing I'm nervous about,
so I probably will take the dolphins.
The chiefs lead the league and drops.
They drop more balls against the Broncos.
So I'm sure their lead has grown. After the Broncos game, Patronos kind of like weirdly said, like, yeah, they
did a good job of taking away 87. And it's not, it's not great when they do that when
taking away Travis Kelsey, which it seems like why hasn't more teams been doing this? I think
maybe teams will start doing it because all their wide receivers drop balls. And they're
starting to be like, Hey, you know what wouldn't be the worst is seeing if Caderius Tony can catch
like 10 balls has the NFL figured out Travis Kelly finally. Well, I think it's the NFL
is finally figured out that the chiefs might have some work in progress when it comes to
wide receivers. I am a firm belief that even at the chiefs loses this game. I'm not freaking out about the chiefs.
I think they're still a super bowl winning caliber team
and the Broncos game was a weird game
and they might lose to the dolphins
but they do have to figure out guys can catch the ball.
It was a flu game.
We can write it off to the flu game.
And their defense is good and they should run the ball more.
Andy Reed, we're back in the full circle
of Andy Reed being like, hey, in the red zone, maybe have Isaiah Pichekko run the ball.
He doesn't do that. Andy Reed's not going to do that. He's going to throw some weird
screen passes every now and again and he'll be like, that's basically the same as running
the football. Yeah.
Running back has the ball in his hand. Yeah. Uh, nerd nugget. So just screaming out
here. By the way, that, that just shows how unbiased I am because that was a, that was
a stat. I brought and I was like, this stat stinks.
Dolphin fans will love that.
Yeah. No, that's that stinks.
It's a great stat.
No, it's not because six out of 12 is bell check.
So he's beaten Sean Baton, Sean Peyton twice, Sean McVeigh, John Groot and John Harbaugh
and Mike Tomlin, but his own loss against Andy Reed December 13th.
Oh, you didn't find a new nerd nugget?
You couldn't think on the fly I
Cut off good staff. It was a good stat. Thanks messing with my headphones right now. I was good
Yeah, I asked him to turn down. I think the damn that oh now we're just not on you know what Jake
Jake dropped the hardest customer of ever really now. We're really loud. We're not good Jake
Are you a bad boy now? I'm out of myself. Yeah, you scared the fuck out of me
Now I'm going to the dammit. It's okay Jake next play next
Play next play. You know what? Let's start with Seahawks Ravens and why don't you give us the nerd nugget start
Better be good
Ravens safety Geno Stone leads the NFL with five interceptions
He's recorded a pick in three straight games and four of his last five his five interceptions tie edu read in 2007 for most by a Raven
Through the first eight games of a season. Okay, all right
Yeah, I do like the Ravens defense their legit and very legit. I also like Kenneth Walker a lot
I've realized that every time I look at Kenneth Walker. He's breaking off something special
Yeah, but all right, so my problem with Kenneth walker
I feel like in the first quarter of every game
He has like a 40 yard run,
and then he doesn't do anything else after.
And this is also just based fully anecdotally
on the last game just so before Seahawks fans correct me
and be like, that's not true.
I'm literally basing on one game.
They also stop giving with the ball sometimes.
Yeah, like they, he should be a bell cow.
You know what, I'm calling on Pete Carroll,
make Kenneth Walker a bell cow running back.
Well, keep giving the ball.
Pete wants to let Gino cook.
He does, but let Kenneth walk.
The big story here is we,
we had a couple of weird quotes.
We'll get to the Antonio Pierce
and the Raiders and the Giants.
But Gus Edwards said this week,
I'm ready for it.
I'm hoping I get a big load again this week.
Craven those loads. He wants a load. He wants a big load.
Yeah, give it to him.
I, this is...
DK will do it.
I'm so excited about this game because I have, I do think the, the Seahawks are good,
but like in my, the back of my head, I'm like, maybe the Ravens are really good and they just
smash them and then maybe they just go, it's crazy looking at the splits, how bad Geno is against man and the Ravens can play both.
So I don't know.
I feel like the Ravens like last week
was kind of a sleep walk, they beat the Cardinals,
they probably should have beaten by more
and they were playing not a great,
like that was like a B minus C plus effort from them.
This week I feel like they're gonna get up
and we've talked about it all year.
Lamar Jackson versus the NFC.
Yep, they're not ready for that speed.
Dominant and the Seahawks,
I would feel more comfortable betting on them this week
if they hadn't taken first place in the division on their own.
Now too many people are talking about the Seahawks.
I know.
I liked it before when we were like, the Seahawks are good.
Plus 400, we were on it, yeah.
We were on the Seahawks,
but now that they're in that top spot, every casual out there is gonna look at the standings and be like, wow, the Seahawks are good plus 400. We're on it. Yeah. We're on the sea hawks, but now that they're in that top spot, every casual out there is
going to look at the standings and be like, wow, the sea hawks are good.
Sea hawks are good.
Yeah, we knew the sea hawks were good.
Now they might be too good that they might be bad again.
I do like the letter Williams beefing up that defensive line.
That is a good, that is a good pick up.
Yeah.
I'd say that's a good thing.
Yeah.
And he was, he actually said it was a situation where they were the, who's the GM for the
giant shh shown? Is that right? Sure. Sure. Sure. Yeah, Joe shone. You don't have to hear
it often, but he went to Leonard Williams. He's like, hey, we weren't going to trade you,
but the Seahawks called you cool with this. And he was like, yeah, yeah, I would want to go.
Does it happen off? Hell yeah. That would be cool. You cool with this? One reason I do like
the Seahawks though,
is they've got a good secondary,
the Legion of Spoon, Legion of Spoon guys.
Yep.
And I feel like they're gonna do some damage
against that Ravens passing attack.
We are on Odell Beckham Touchdown Watch.
But I feel like the Seahawks defense
is good enough to shut down the passing,
but then Lamar just might decide, okay,
I'm gonna just run the ball.
I'm gonna run, run, run it.
I just, I have that Ravens Lions game in my head
where like maybe the Ravens are a big game type of team.
They play down to their competition.
They lost to the cults, like they, you know,
the Cardinals covered the spread, do the Ravens.
I, like, maybe it's not as simple as I've made it in my head.
It's basically Ravens play,
uh, Inferior opponent, take the Inferior opponent.
Ravens play an NFC team, take the Ravens.
Ravens take the AFC North team, just take the underdog.
Does this count as a big game?
I think this is a big game.
It's a big game.
It's a big game.
I think this might be the biggest game of the early slate.
It's absolutely a big game.
Yeah, big game.
Okay, next up Vikings and Falcons, Taylor Hanuky time.
Yeah, finally made it.
We got it, we made it there guys.
He also had a great Halloween costume this week.
Did you see that?
So him and his girlfriend or wife, I don't know,
but they went together.
She dressed up like a car with lights on her boobs
and then he went as a deer
that just stared at her boobs all night,
during the headlights
I did see that pretty good. It was awesome pretty creative work by Taylor Hanneke
So he would be getting some purple and gold Jordans if they win this weekend. I'm excited to see that
Flores is the biggest blitzer in the NFL. He sends the blitz more often than any other team
Hanneke is very good against the blitz
So I like to falcons in this I also
Heinecke is very good against blitz. So I like to falcons in this.
I also continue to love Arthur Smith with all my heart.
We've talked about his fantasy football fuckery.
He also just tried to gaslight the entire American public
because it was one week ago today that he said
Arthur Smith says,
Desmond Ritter criticism due to toxic group think
a lot of people don't watch film.
And then he was like Taylor Heinecke's now the starter.
Well, he was like, he got us all off the,
off the scent for a second.
He's like, you guys are idiots.
You're all fucking group thinks like, no,
I think we're right.
And he's like, hey, you know what, you're right.
I was joking.
I think he's using an excuse too,
because he's saying that Ritter, he's not right.
He's not like, he's not himself right now.
Oh, so Heinecke.
Cushion.
I think he's still saying that high Niki is a
temporary starter. Okay. But I think that if high Niki is still
gaslighting us. Yes. Yes. So if high Niki plays well, then
Arthur Smith will be like, well, you know, we got to write, we
got to ride the hot hand for a little bit. And then we'll go
back to Ritter once high Niki starts thinking. But no, I think
high Niki's going to take this job. Yeah. As for Jaren Hall,
QB is making their first career starter 38, 70,
and one straight up in the last decade.
Okay. Not great.
No, not, not what you like to see.
And they're three and 15 straight up on the road.
Do we know if Nick Mullins is, he's still on the IR
and they brought him off yet or is Josh.
No, I think it's week 10.
So Dobbs is going to be QB2.
Dobbs is going to be QB2.
Okay.
Pass your not. I love it.
I love the, I love the Falcons this weekend. I think if I think if the
dogs can get in this game, if dogs does get in this game, he'll
probably be good, because it'll be in relief. Yeah. And fresh
start. Who was that was that Freeman? Was that Josh Freeman that
played for I think you played for the Vikings after like three
days, he did the Baker Mayfield. Yeah, we got trade and then
started on the Vikings and probably had the worst game ever.
Yeah, in the history of football. You get to learn the play.
It's tough.
It's tough to step in after just a couple days on the team.
I think what we can take out of this week, if nothing else, the fact that the Vikings
did not sign Carson Wentz, I think there's still some justice in this.
That's nice.
I think we're all winners for not having to watch Carson Wentz on Sunday.
Wait, you love the Falcons in this game?
I do.
I do.
The only reason I don't.
I just love Taylor Haniky. I love Taylor Taylor Hanik too. I just don't know if the
Falcons can win by more than four and a half against anyone. I think they can. They feel
like a team that just will play. It will be a late like red zone fun game like where we're
like, oh shit. Get your eyes on this. Yeah. Last possession. Even last week, they almost won.
Should we have the conversation about Jordan Addison that we had about Justin Jefferson like three weeks ago?
If you're Jordan Addison, should you sit out
for the rest of the season?
Should you trade them?
Yeah.
Sit out for the rest of the season.
You're too valuable.
Try to get a contract this off season.
Just like have the two of them playing chicken
with each other the whole time.
It is kind of a bummer because Addison looked awesome.
Yeah, I think the Vikings are gonna
like be a little galvanized.
Like, hey, we're playing good ball.
The NFC, who's gonna be the seventh seed in the NFC?
Somebody, somebody bad.
Somebody bad.
Somebody bad.
It might be a second team from the NFC South.
Yeah, which is crazy.
Because if you go through it,
Saints and Falcons, it's,
it's like no doubters, obviously things can change.
Niners, Eagles, Cowboys, Lions, NFC, South
representative, Seahawks, seventh.
I like how we put the Niners first as a no-dowder above the
Seahawks. Yeah, that's true. They're beating them right now.
But but seventh is going to be a combination of like Saints,
Box, Falcons, Vikings, Yuck. Bad bad bad team.
Commanders if they win a couple.
No, no, we're not doing that.
Rams.
We're not going to do that.
Oh, I could I could be talked into I know I was pretty down on like
fire sell, get rid of everybody.
I could still be I could always be talked in the commanders,
maybe squeaking.
Do you know when this week I've seen weird shit happen in the NFC East.
Yeah, they win this week.
All right.
What's the nerd nugget?
Cause let's talk about the commander's Patriots next.
Vikings, rookie, water, seer, Jordan, and Madison joined the elite company.
Last Sunday, he became the sixth player in Super Bowl era to catch their seventh touchdown
in the first eight game.
He's shut it down.
Shut it down for the season.
You're too valuable.
Shut it down.
All right, commander's Patriots, how we feeling boys?
I mean, we have an opportunity to be a Super Bowl winning coach.
It's very hard to do in this league. This makes Sam how I think one and one and two, if he can beat
Bill Belichack in Super Bowl. Lifetime Super Bowl and coaches.
Oh, yeah. Oh, no way. No way. The Eagles lost the Super Bowl last year. Yeah. I forgot
about that. Oh, this is a win-win for me. I think, you know, if they lose, it's better
drafts, drafts capital. but then you lose the PFT
and if we call you small, we beat PFT and I can just hold that over and forever and in a year
where we're tanking, we can still be the commanders and we're not tanking. It's a tank off.
Really, the loser of this team of this game wins
Winner takes Bell check is that what you're gonna, you know, oh yeah, there's some fan fiction out there. Since you brought it up, Mike,
I mean, this is funny because usually we just take
Mike Floreo's fan fiction, run with it on the show,
just to piss Hank off.
I think Floreo took our fan fiction
that we came up with on the show,
which is that Josh Harris wants a big splash,
he wants a big name coach,
Bell Check, probably at the end of his 10 year New England,
why not get him to DC?
He can coach lacrosse at the Naval Academy.
Anapolis is like 30 minutes from FedEx field.
It's probably everything that he's wanted.
You probably really wants to coach for the commanders.
It was a Florio fan fiction special
because the report basically just said like,
when the year ends, the commanders might reach out to Belicech.
I think...
Reach out to craft to see what it would take to get Belicech.
I think these conversations are happening.
Which means nothing. I think, you know, who's see what it would take to the bell check. I think these conversations are happening.
Which means nothing.
I think, you know, you know who's making this.
No, no.
It's not for these were Josh Harris or like we need to get a big coach.
Yeah.
Who's the biggest coach, Bill Bell check.
That'd be cool.
Well, thank you.
Florian conversation over.
The entire article was basically Florian saying it would make sense in my mind if it
happened.
Which is a great way to like put a report out there, without putting a report out there.
Here's how it's gonna happen though Hank. What's the common denominator here
between Josh Harris, Bill Bellichack?
Bad handshakes.
Awkward guy.
Awkward.
There's a guy that's been on part of my take.
Ruben?
I feel like Ruben is gonna have to do a,
like crafter a lot.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Ruben is gonna be the go between.
Ruben's gonna make this deal happen for me.
Would this just destroy you?
If PFT got to root for Bill Balechak every week?
I would become the biggest Bill Balechakologist.
I don't think so.
I would, I would, no.
It's like when people said, you know,
to destroy Brady, I was rooting for Brady.
I'd be rooting for, I would like to, you know,
join up with my guy PFT and see Balechak bring a team to their first Superbowl and forever. for, I would, I would like to, you know, join up with my guy, PFT and, and see Bella check, bring a team to their first Super Bowl and forever.
No, it would destroy you.
You, you got low key destroyed when Brady won that Super Bowl.
I did and I bet like I made the biggest bet of my life on the box.
Yeah, but ever, but ever since then, what if, what if we got McDaniels and
Bella check, get the gang back together in DC?
All the whole squad. Yeah, fuck it.
Whole squad. So how you, you feel confident in this game?
No. Okay.
I wouldn't either because Kendrick Bourne being out for the season,
it feels like that's the one bright spot that you guys had.
Defense is banged up, offense is bad and an-
Washington just traded their whole defense,
which by the way, can't feel good to be chase young right now
because it feels like everyone was pissed that Montez sweat got traded and everyone was kind of happy chase young got traded.
Yeah, some like leaks and being like N and play team defense and all this stuff.
That's kind of what I've been saying about chase young.
I actually think it's good for both the Bears and the Niners. The Niners get like a rental.
And they also extend them.
And they get a guy who's not the dude and he has to slot in underneath
Bosa. Yeah, he's gonna go there and he can't be acting like he's the baddest dude ever on defense
He has to kind of humble himself a little bit and he can still make some splash plays and he's been pretty good this year
But Montess what big cat can we have the conversation about Montess what yeah, because when the trade went down
Both our reaction was the same which was you guys got a very good player.
Yeah.
He's a better player overall than Chase Young.
He's on the field.
He's more productive.
He's a dude.
We also thought there's no chance in hell
that the bears don't extend them
when they give up a second round.
Pesh, I also still think it's true.
I still think he's going to be extended,
but Montess Sweat said yesterday
that he's not close to making a decision on that. Ideally, you would want the deal to be extended, but Montess Sweat said yesterday that he's not close to making a decision
on that. Ideally, you would want the deal to be basically done, but it's very good.
Okay, so people were running with this quote, what the fuck do we think Montess Sweat is going
to say? He has leverage right now. Why would he be like, yeah, I'm here and we're about
to sign up a long term deal. Ryan Poles came out and like, we're working, the first thing
we're doing is working on a long term deal. So everyone was, listen, the Bears are a joke of an organization.
I get it.
Their father for everyone on the internet.
I understand how this game is played.
People just looked at Montez sweats, quote, and just ignored Ryan Poles quote.
Of course Montez sweat is going to be like, yeah, I don't know, like, I'm not close to
signing.
He who be an idiot to be like, yeah, I want to be on the bear's long term
and say that and then all of his leverage is gone.
Ryan Poles is gonna get it done.
And if he doesn't, he's fired.
Yeah.
He should be, he should be if he doesn't get it.
Of course.
Clearly fireable.
Of course.
So that like it was, I understood it,
but it was also maddening that everyone was running
with just Montez sweats comment and not Ryan Poles.
So I went from 100% he's gonna be extended
when the deal was done.
To now I'm like 95%.
He's gonna get the extension done.
He's gonna get it done
because Ryan Poles job is literally on the line.
It is.
Okay, he might have to overpay him.
I don't know.
I just, it was, that is just how it works.
Bears get clowned, I get it.
They deserve to get clowned.
There's a lot of shit that they need to be clowned for.
But this one, everyone was just going with one quote and just ignoring the other quote that Ryan pulls like the first thing
We're doing is working on extension. And if anybody out there is saying, wow, the bear should be embarrassed that they gave up a second round pick and the
Niners only gave up a third round for chase young. You're telling on yourself that you don't watch ball. Yeah, you don't watch ball. I've watched every snap that those guys have taken.
Not only that, but Chey-Chung has not been able
to stay on the field.
Yeah, that matters.
Let's see, where was the exact quote?
Ryan Poles.
Ryan Poles says the bears are working to get a contract
done now with Montessweb.
Okay, good.
So like that was ignored somehow by everyone online.
Is the 5% when I say 95% chance the deal gets on the 5% is my
personal delusion because I have considered a world in which Montess was just such a fan of Washington that he's like, you know what
Trade me and then I'm not going to do the deal and then secretly I'm going to come back to you guys in the off-season.
So everyone's fan fiction about every team that ever trades anyone.
What if it happens?
You could.
What if it would have won Soto?
It comes back to DC too.
It could.
Also, the commanders are one and oh this week.
We had an organizational win as reported by Diana Rossini on Tuesday that we had an
organization, organizational win based on the fact that we were able to trade away two
players and get two draft picks. Yeah. So, we're one and o during the week, we're riding a hot streak
and we're going to the lighthouse and we're going to take the lighthouse out and Hank, I told you
before we sat down that there should be some stakes involved. Yes. And I said, think of a bet,
I don't want you to tell me. And so Hank has an idea for a bet Yeah, my idea is where obviously still you know decorating the studio. It's still active things are moving around
You'll probably notice in the background things are changing kind of episode by episode
There is that poll behind pft that if the Patriots would win I would like to paint a replica of
The Patriots lighthouse, so it's just always behind in the house.
Now, if the commanders when are you willing to admit,
I want a full written apology, maybe even a PowerPoint
on how it's a fraud lighthouse?
No, that has nothing to do with it.
No, no, because it should be only stakes on my side.
What about yours?
Well, I'm open to stakes.
Okay, so there it is.
It's just a bet with me and PFT.
All right, all thoughts PFT, PFT,
you should make him admit that it's a fraud lighthouse
to do a PowerPoint and apologize.
I think you should admit it's a fraud lighthouse.
Good idea.
And you should do a PowerPoint and apologize.
And you should change your x.com bio to say
the lighthouse in New England is fraudulent.
K-Patterist lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse
in North America, period, end of sentence, double period.
And maybe also on your hinge profile too.
You're not an Arrea?
They won't let me on right now.
It's crazy.
You have to do.
I don't know, I've gone recommendation.
They probably think you don't have a job.
Because you know, they don't want me.
I will do that.
My only condition is that I would just,
let me, I'll just acknowledge K-Patteras
as the tallest lighthouse in the world or whatever.
No, you have to say you have a frog light house.
I'll do the, I'm gonna do that via Powerpool.
Yeah, and in your x.com bio just says
the K-Patteras lighthouse is the tallest in North America.
All right, period.
I've got a bet.
End of sentence double period.
I love it. All right. And it has's it going to be? We got a bet. End of sentence, double period.
I love it.
All right.
And it has to stay up there for the entire football season.
Now is this spreader straight up?
I mean, it's got to be straight up.
Yes, straight up.
I mean, the Patriots shouldn't be favored by three points
against anybody right now.
Okay.
Also, we're going next man up in DC.
You forget about next man up.
It is actually, I mean, it's a real thing
that there's guys who have been back up
who now get to play for a contract.
Yes, it's real.
If this was, you know, my team aside, I would love the commanders in
this spot as a hungry dog watching. Sam Howell's first half last last week was like the
Patriots game was on and they were playing ugly and then the commanders game was the other
TV and Sam Howell is just throwing dime after dime after dime after dime after dime.
Yeah, Sammy Dimes.
Bella checks going to see this team up close.
He's going to fall in love with it.
He's going to be doing the binocular meme.
Just looking at her guys on the sidelines.
Like, man, damn, I wish I could coach for the Washington Command.
Damn, they can use some like, some dogs on their defense.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Only a difference between Mack and Sam Howell is coaching though.
Remember that.
That's true.
That's true.
Good point, Mack's coaching. Remember that. That's true. That's true. Good point, Max.
All right, nerd nugget.
Commander's quarterback, Sam Howell,
eclipse 2,000 passing yards and 200 completions
last week becoming the 10th quarterback all time
to reach 200 completions through nine career games,
the fastest in franchise history.
Wow.
Wow.
We've got a little bit to 200.
Great quarterbacks in our history, too.
Wow.
OK, bears it, Saints.
Next, we talked about Montess
sweat. I have to just quickly say something about Matt Eberfluss. He had a quote yesterday.
Well, first of all, the Bears have now fired a second coach under mysterious circumstances
that HR was involved in. Why do they keep saying HR was involved in this firing? That's such a weird go-to line to say.
He also, Matt, Iberflue said that there's a bunch of guys,
or no, I think Ryan Polis said there's a bunch of guys
with integrity here, and it's like, how?
Do we have one guy who has all the integrity
that's raising the average?
Because we've got five or two coaches now,
HR involved under mysterious things.
Iberflue said, we set the expectations day one,
you have to treat everybody with respect and beyond time.
So he did one of the two bad things
that you're not supposed to do.
Yeah, so Eberfluss said the culture in our building
is outstanding, noting that the Bears are two
and two in their last four games.
Just forgetting the fact they were three and 18 before that.
Two and two in their last, that's, that's a massive, massive upswing. Ryan Poles also credited bad ebber flus for
uh, uh, taking on adversity and overcoming adversity. I don't think you get credit when the
adversity is being a bad coach. If you bring on your own adversity, like you overcome it,
you're like, he's, he's doing a great job coaching a bad coach team.
Yeah, but he's the coach.
He's outperforming expectations that he set for himself
with his past history.
Like imagine having to coach a bad coach team,
that you made a bad coach team.
It's hard. That's adversity.
It is. It's like when Dogecoin pops like 5%,
you're like, wow, it's really overcoming some adversity right now.
Yeah, there's also some weird things going on
that people in the Chicago media think that the bears were leaking bad stories
to NBC on Sunday football about Justin Fields trying to like basically start to move away from him.
Did they make him wear sunglasses on the sidelines?
That might have been it.
Yeah.
We can at least get big cat to be mad about this.
Yeah, that was very funny when you were angry
for like 15 seconds.
I was.
It's a loss.
I talked about it with Max after.
It's really just the loss.
Like when you lose, it's just, you have to,
you can't wear sunglasses when you lose.
You don't want to stand out at all.
Right.
It's like when a quarterback, when Kim Newton would give
his post game like media availability and he'd step up
to the podium and he'd wear, he would be dressed like a lamp from the 70s.
It's like, hey dude, you should have a winning outfit that you wear and then losing outfit that you wear.
Because if you lose, everyone's gonna talk about your cowboy hat with tassels on it.
Right, like remember when Fitzpatrick went on his winning streak with the box and he was wearing like the, you know, the chest hair popping out and everything.
If he did that after a loss, I'd be like, what the fuck is this guy doing? Yeah.
Just going sweats after a loss, I'd be like, what the fuck is this guy doing? Yeah. Just go in sweats after a loss.
Okay, so yeah, I mean, maybe Tyson Baygent, I don't know.
The bears just, they keep making lines that are like,
oh, eight and a half.
They pay them too.
Yeah, these guys get paid to play football.
The stat about Derek Carr, I'm looking at though,
is he is the worst quarterback against the spread
when he's a favorite in the NFL right now. So this is lifetime for Derek Carr, I'm looking at though, is he is the worst quarterback against the spread when he's a favorite in the NFL right now.
So this is lifetime for Derek Carr.
He stinks against the spread as a favorite.
He's one in five against the spread as a saint
when he's a favorite.
However, the coin has the saints winning eight, no.
So this would be, this would be nine and o for the coin
if they win.
I've told everyone, if you like the Saints this week, which you should,
because they'll beat the Bears, bet them to win the, the, the division.
Now's the time.
It's a free win.
Bet every team who play, every team who plays the Bears just bet that team to win the
division because you know you'll get at least better odds once they beat the Bears.
That's a fact.
It's a, it's a fail proof way to go about this gambler.
And I am rooting against the bears. Nothing personal. You want the pick, but I want to pick.
You want to pick now. And then I want Montess sweat back in the off season. I understand.
All right. Nerd nugget. New Bears defensive and Montess sweat is one of six NFL players to record
at least five sacks and 10 quarterback kicked in each of his first five seasons, during Brian Burns, Max Crosby, Chris Jones,
Miles Garrett, and TJ Watt.
It was a pretty good player,
as that he's loved to do.
He's good there with, I do.
He was one of the guy like that on your team.
Do you think we could hang out with him, Montez?
Yeah.
I got a lot in common, I thought I was sweating.
I hit him up.
Yeah, he's a good guy.
Yeah, I could fall.
I mean, I did fall, I could hit him up.
Yeah, hit him up as DMs.
I let him know like, hey, if you're looking for some good dive bars
If you want to go drink some allort with me. I'll show you the ropes in Chicago to DC guys that are you know new to the city
Credit to me. I just want to say this has nothing to do with
Montess sweat. There's a kid who's seven three who's deciding between Purdue and Wisconsin to play basketball next year
He's deciding on Friday and I wrote the DM didn't send it. That's good. Yeah, 17 year old.
That's good, that's progress.
Yeah, that was progress,
because I started the DM and I was like, wait,
what are you doing?
This is bad.
Where's he from?
I don't know.
Okay.
But yeah.
He's tall.
He's 73.
He's tall and he could go to Wisconsin.
I was gonna, like the DM was like, you know,
congrats on deciding, enjoy the day.
If you have any questions about Madison, let me know
and I was like, stop it.
Is this 17 year old, you're 38.
So Daniel Jacobson, 2024, three star Friday,
six PM Eastern.
What about Baron Trump?
Where are we at with Baron Trump?
I was playing soccer in the process.
Yeah, I mean, just think about how good he'd be on the court.
He'd be sick.
Baron Trump, you're on parole and overall NBA draft pick
would be hilarious.

Okay, moving along,
cardinals of Browns,
Clayton Tune, first PJ Walker.
We can't wait.
Oh man, I can't wait.
What a great game this is.
I've talked myself a little bit into Clayton Tune though.
I have not, I kind of have. I've talked myself a little bit into Clayton Tune though. I have not.
I kind of have.
I watch some of his preseason tape.
I don't think PJ Walker is that much better
than Clayton Tune.
That's what I'm going off of.
PJ Walker's never lost his start at home
in professional football.
Okay, Kevin's to Fansky stinks when he's a favorite.
Okay, stinks.
10 and 20 against the spread.
Clayton Tune has to go up against the Browns defense.
Also the Cardinals defense is like last or second or last
in basically every metric.
Yeah.
That Cowboys win that they had really carried a lot of water.
Yeah.
It really got us off the scent for a while there.
I think also the Cardinals are injured.
The Browns, I keep going back to PJ walk
The game plan for Stofanski should be what we talked to him about this offseason
Run the damn ball run the damn ball Stofanski if you run the damn ball I know you don't have chumped anymore because chubs out we got Jerome Ford
So you got Jerem font at your running back position. Yep cream hunt still good run the damn ball run the damn ball
That's all you got to do run the the damn ball. And that's our Browns Cardinals. That's really all we need to say for it. Yeah, I think the Browns are gonna kill them.
That's all I got. I do. I just think the defense like Clayton Tune having just started his first game
We get some Browns defense. Not gonna be fun. And what's the spread now? Is it seven and a half? Yeah, if it gets up to eight
I'm gonna bet the Cardinals. That's your that's your Bible. Oh, it's eight. Eight. Going to bet the cardinals. Cardinals. No, wait, take back. Take back. I'm going to bet
Cardinals first half again. Yes. Cardinals first half. Keep riding
it. Keep riding it. All right. Nerd nugget. Run the damn ball.
Indeed, this is a matchup between two of the top five rushing
attacks in the league. Cleveland's second Arizona's fourth
teams have combined eight players with a rush for at least 100
yards this season
I'm shocked that the Cardinals are fourth in league. I guess James Conner was getting off to a pretty good start
Yeah, they've got D. Marcato. Yeah, I'm already in Marcato. It's a great name. Yeah, yeah
So maybe make it like a army Navy game just run the damn ball run all right next game bad game
Rams Packers these teams stink and Matt Saffer might not play.
So we got Brett Ripon.
Brett Ripon, Matt Saffer might not play and if he does play, I think it's gonna be cold and maybe a little rainy,
which means you can't grip the football. He's got a thumb injury.
Tough.
I still like the Rams. I feel like Sean McVeigh, if you got a shitty quarterback,
Sean McVeigh can make the most out of it. That's a fact, right? And Matt LaFlore, he's had eight weeks to work
with the shitty quarterback.
And what Goudon Kutsk or whatever his name is.
The GM.
The GM said about Jordan Love,
which is like, Jordan Love is not quite
what we're looking for, Jesse.
I don't believe in Jordan Love.
He's not wrong, but he said it out loud.
Well, listen, I think Jordan Love, you know,
doesn't have a lot of receivers offensive
lines. Thanks. You got to give him some more time. He's a young prospect. He's a young
prospect. He's in his fourth year, but that doesn't matter. You got to give him some more
time. Yeah. I mean, he's basically a rookie. Where you going, Hank? Oh, he's turning on
the TV. He's basically a rookie, right now. He's basically a rookie. Yeah, but he stinks.
I also, the, the Rams can't run the, and that's where the Packers are kind of can be gashed.
So yeah, I think I should keep buying low on the Packers.
I'm also interested in Brett Ripon.
I'm interested in from like,
that's a curious guy to maybe watch play football
because he loves to turn the ball over.
No, no, but Hank, I know you're shaking your head.
He takes a lot of shit.
He's gonna be fun.
I'm not saying he's gonna be good.
I think Brett Ripon might be a fun quarterback.
13 for 27, 112 yards.
No, no.
One touchdown to interceptions.
You don't watch ball.
Brett Ripon's gonna go 17 for 25,
and he's gonna throw one touchdown to interceptions
and he's gonna have 228 yards.
That's gross.
It's still fun.
He's still gonna throw two picks.
That's fun.
I guess.
And they're gonna win.
He has four touchdowns and eight interceptions.
That was his career.
Yeah, yeah.
He loves picks.
He does love picks.
Yeah.
It seems like he very much loves picks.
Okay.
Oh, he had one game.
What was this?
Oh, did he come into relief?
Yeah, he came in relief last week, I think.
Yes, I remember he started the, uh,
the game when Blake Bordles got COVID.
Remember that one?
Yes.
It was like the Broncos and the Jets, I think on Thursday night.
Blake Bordles gave the entire Broncos coach.
I was trying to spin it the other way.
Yeah.
Where Blake Bordles got assaulted by COVID.
All time, all time Blake Bordel's move
We love him for that. Yeah. Yeah. No, he had he had a game where he went
19 for 31 to 42 two touchdowns and three interceptions. Yeah, see that's a that's a fun stat line. He's fun
That's a full stat line. Okay, nerd nugget according to Spotrack the Packers and Rams are the two youngest teams in the NFL. The Packers Avernav average age of 25.3 Rams 25.8 Packers 24 rookies Rams 21
Okay, yeah, I mean, it's is a good if you're rookie stink probably not
If you stink and we got it more young they have to get even younger. Yeah, the Packers are like as close as you can get to having the debate of if the best college
Team could beat the worst NFL team. Yeah, they did in week one. They're young. All right. The box at Texans. This
is going to be a fun. Is it? This is a decide what you are game like the bucks are are if
they don't win this game. That would be four straight losses after a three and one start.
Put a fork in it. And if the Texans, you know, they're teetering right on that edge
that lose to the Panthers last week, back home.
I like the Texans in this game.
I would hope that the Bucks defense,
they can still stop the run.
And the Texans offense, they run the most, I think,
in the league first down, which,
just let's see, just draw it sling it.
There's something nice, you know, about a team that when it's first and
10, okay, run the ball, run the ball, and they get three yards.
Now it's second and seven.
It's almost like they can't start the drive until they get one run for
two yards.
Yeah, you want to know what football was like in the 90s?
It was always second and eight.
Yeah, always second and it was awesome.
And we loved it so much.
It's like, oh, no, this isn't working. Well, eventually it will because guess what? You got to keep leaning on it. always second and eight. Yeah. Always second and eight. And it was awesome. We loved it so much.
It's like, oh, no, this isn't working.
Well, eventually it will.
Because guess what?
You got to keep leaning on it.
Yeah.
Eventually, you'll get maybe even a second and six.
You need to establish the run early on downs.
And then, yeah, it would become like second and eight.
And then it would be third and four.
Then you would make three yards.
And then you put on fourth and one.
Yeah. That's how football is meant to be played.
That's what we grew up watching. We throw the ball too much on first down now.
But I think the the Texans are smart. They'll throw the ball on first down a little
bit here. They probably will. And we've kind of hammered home a lot of stuff
about Todd Bowles on this podcast. He's not a good coach. I came across a
stat that took my breath away about Todd Bows. We were Todd Bulls guy.
I used to be, I'm a recovering Todd Bulls guy.
Called him a top 10 coach in like 2018.
I think it was 2017.
Yeah, it was a long time ago.
And I was like, oh, I was a young, dumb full calm.
I grew up a lot since then.
It is funny because we've been doing this for so long.
There's just still some takes that like just stick in your mind.
It's like, oh, man, I remember when PFT said that.
Yeah, I did say it. I didn't mean it, but I said it. You said it. Todd Bowles. So when there's
a strong recommendation to go for it on fourth down, strong recommendation, he goes for 15% of the time.
15% when there's a toss up, when it's 50, 50, go for it or don't go for it. Do you know what percentage of the time Todd Bulls goes for it?
What's the toss up?
A toss up.
50, 50% and this is based on the analytics models
that are after, like I think the New York Times
has like a fourth down body or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
It shows you expected when probability going up
or down based on whatever decision.
When it's a 50, 50%, how much does Todd Bulls go
for it and fourth down?
So I don't know, zero percent.
Okay, he goes for it.
He's Christ.
I didn't know it was gonna be way high or way low,
but I wasn't gonna get zero.
He goes for it zero percent of the time on fourth down
with the 50s and 50s.
Christ.
So Mike Evans was not traded this week.
No, and Buck for life.
Buck for life.
Apparently the Jets.
Jersey guy.
The Jets reached out to him and the Bucks were like, no, we're not out of the, and the crazy thing is the Bucks are not out this week. No, and Buck for Life. Buck for Life. Apparently the Jets reached out to him,
and the Bucks were like, no, we're not out of it.
And the crazy thing is, the Bucks are not out of it.
No, they win this game.
They're very much not out of it.
Like someone's gonna have to win the NFC South,
and someone's gonna have to get that seven seed.
Yeah, which, if you're a fan of a team
that's like in this weird zone,
I don't know, I guess you play offs or play offs,
but man, that seven
seed is going to be bad. Really bad. Really bad. And I mean, it would be perfectly enough
hell if they somehow won a game. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You know what I want? I'm seeing the
future right now of like what I really desire to happen to playoffs. Bucks beat the number
one. I guess there would be the number two seed cowboys.
First round of the playoffs.
How great would that be for the takes?
Just for the takes.
I root for takes.
Yeah.
Okay, nerd nugget for this game.
Both the Bucks and Texans are very responsible with the football.
The Texans have the fewest turnovers in the league with four while the Bucks are tied for
a second fewest with six.
Very responsible football owners.
Yeah. I like that. Okay. All right.
Late slate. Great, great game.
We only have three games in the afternoon, but I'm okay with it because we have one
that we can really focus on cowboys at Eagles.
Max, I want to hear from you.
Can you make sure you press the button to talk?
I mean, press that button.
Oh, okay.
You did all four years because you have you've struggled with pressing buttons today. Yeah, no, that was bad. I thought we were going to talk about that, memes press that button. Oh, okay. You did all four years ago. Cause you have, you've struggled with pressing buttons today.
You know, that was bad.
I thought we were going to talk about that later in FireFest.
Well, no, I was going to sprinkle it in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So what you're saying is Big Cat just asked you to press the button, but you weren't
on the button, so memes stepped in and pressed the button.
Oh, that's actually, you know, one gift is that's very similar to it.
Seven a.m. on Wednesday morning when I had to call, Max didn't pick up.
Memes did pick up and he pressed the button. That's a.m. on Wednesday morning when I had to call Max didn't pick up memes did pick up
Mm-hmm. He pressed the button. That's interesting correct that is correct
But we'll get to it on fire fest
Been doing this podcast for a long-ass time
Just wasn't out on Wednesday
That is correct
Did you take a lap? I should you should take a lap right now. Yeah, yeah go take a lap take a lap
Take a lap.
All right, we got other stuff we can talk about.
I want you to come back out of breath.
I'm sure you've seen this PFT,
but maybe not everyone who's listening has seen this.
The greatest, maybe fake,
but I'm going to say it's real.
The greatest fantasy trade offer of all time.
This was on Reddit.
Some guy said,
Guy in my league is offering Pollard for Christian McCaffry, and I get to bang his wife one time.
So here's what he says.
He says, Guy in my league is three and five
and desperate to turn his team around
and needs more consistency with running back.
He sent me a text saying he wants Christian McAfry,
but there's not really anyone on his team I want.
I'm currently seven and one,
so I don't need to make any changes really.
He said I could bang his wife one time
if I accept the trade and it goes through.
Honestly, it's pretty tempting since she has huge tits
and I've always fantasized about her.
Is it worth throwing my chances
to win the ship out the window for a chance
to bang his wife?
There's a lot that goes into that.
How on board do you think the wife is?
Does she know?
I hope she knows.
I'm hoping she knows.
There's a good chance that she doesn't know. hope she knows this is on the table if she knows
Well, if she doesn't know this is fucked up if she knows and down with it you have to make the straight
But she might only be down for it because she knows that this other guy's fantasy team is so good that she's attracted to him
But the second they bone
He loses Christian cap for you to trade after You have to do the trade afterwards because right now she's probably like,
God, this guy's in first place in fantasy after eight weeks.
And what's so hot and just play it out.
Like, okay, you do this trade, you bang this guy's wife.
He wins the championship and he gets to talk shit to you and then you're like,
but a bang to wife.
Yeah, he's got the one up card.
Yeah, there's it.
I think you gotta do it.
If I was this guy and the trade was proposed to me,
I would create my own trophy after banging his wife.
Of the wife.
Of the wife, yeah.
And that could be like, I got flags for life forever.
I'd raise a banner in my house.
Is this a keeper league?
If it's keeper, then it's gotta be every year.
Yeah.
So I mean, I don't think this is real.
If it's keeper, then you put it's funny.
If it's keeper, you get to film it.
It's very funny.
This thing is very, very funny.
Yeah, so that is the big trade right now
because Tony Pollard has not been good.
Sometimes that happens when your feature back,
you know, like, oh, this guy's got so much pop.
You take away his EGLE, it doesn't have the pop anymore.
All right, so Cowboys and Eagles, Max took his lap.
Deck Press got kind of owns the Eagles.
No, it doesn't.
He's eight and three against the Eagles.
Yeah, I was gonna say what, seven and three in the last 10?
Eight and three against the Eagles. Yeah. I was gonna say what seven and three in the last 10 eight and three against the Eagles now
What are you sick Max? No, I just got some of my throat
Okay
Jalen hurts dick
Good you need a cough drop Max. Nope. We wouldn't want you to take a cough drop maybe fall asleep forget to put out the podcast
I don't know that would be a Drought to make you drowsy.
Can't that is called medicine, cough medicine.
Cough medicine.
Cross. Yeah.
You want a robot trip?
You want some Tusson?
No, thank you.
What are the keys to the game here?
Did you already talk about the poke, the bear thing?
Oh, yeah.
Dak Prescott said, if you see me in a fight with a bear, poor honey on me.
Oh,
it's not a chin and short. I also still don't fully understand what that means.
Neither do I.
I think it means like, if you see me in a fight with a bear,
make me more desirable to the bear,
because otherwise I'll whoop the bear's ass too much.
Well, it was in response to Jerry Jones.
Jerry Jones was asked about the Eagles
and he said, I don't wanna talk about it.
I don't wanna poke the bear.
Oh. And then Dak said that. So he it. I don't want to poke the bear Oh, and then Dax said that so he was basically saying I want to poke the bear
Oh, is that press got like the weirdest guy in the NFL? I think he's low key very weird. Yeah, very weird
So Max, you there's a big big game because if you lose this game now the Cowboys look totally different. No, it's a massive game
It's unfortunately won'll be able to watch.
Okay, we're working on punishment. Yeah, we don't get decided what is punishment. I guess we got to that.
No, yeah, that's yeah, no, I can call the game for Max. Oh, wow, that's torture. That would be good.
That would be good.
That's a good, I was gonna suggest that Max gets to listen
to it on like the Steve Bartman, like, portable stereo.
And you just have to sit on the gambling cave
like listening to the stream.
Big tone DM me with some ideas.
One of them was that every time,
he's one of my guys.
Yeah, he DM me with a bunch of ideas.
One of them was that every time
Jalen hurts squats during the game
because he squats before every snap,
Max also has to squat.
That'd be tough.
How does Nick?
Oh, that was maybe Nick.
Big tone horn.
Let me see, big tones got some.
Let's just read him out real quick.
Oh, this one's diabolical.
Max has to do a breakdown of every Celtics win for a month
and why they win and why they're good
and why it could be a problem for the Sixers in the future.
I love that.
That's a great one.
That would be tough.
That would be tough.
But I'm willing to take all punishments.
I deserve all punishments.
Do you like to apologize?
I apologize on the bird. I guess that's not the bird anymore. I thought maybe we should just get a button
and see you have to press it a million times.
I don't know.
How long would it take to press a button a million times?
You know what, Piquet?
Right now it sounds like Max is acknowledged
that he made a mistake,
but he almost wants to be punished for it.
And he wants to take your bad boy.
You want to be spanked.
No, I'm not.
You're a sicko, aren't you?
You want to spank you?
Actually, I've got a good idea. What about aank you. No, I'm not. You're a sicko, aren't you?
Yeah.
You want us to spank you?
Actually, I've got a good idea.
What about a soul patch, Max?
Oh!
Oh!
It's a little button.
It is a little button.
It's a bunch of things.
You never forget the button if you look in the mirror.
Because I mean, Max, the fact of the matter is, part of my take goes out to a million people
every day, right?
Not a brag, just a fact, there are a million people, a million out there that were like, where
the fuck's my podcast, Max?
And you didn't push one button, and you impacted a million people.
All you guys just pressed the button.
Max, my friend was on his honeymoon, and he texted me like, where is the podcast?
You ruined my best friend's honeymoon.
Wow.
Jesus Christ.
You should have to fuck that guy's wife.
Should we do like put all the punishments together and kind of do them all.
Well, we'll talk about it.
Fire fest.
We're not talking about it.
Yeah, think about it.
Think about it.
Yeah, just do something and we'll get to fire fest later.
All right.
So Max, do you feel confident in this game?
Jalen Hurst does not look like himself.
What that is. Okay. Max, you have to admit, he had a tender little knee.
It's a question. Do we have to do the player the weak thing again?
He had a tender little knee. Listen, he looked for the weak thing again.
He looked good throwing the ball, but he doesn't have the same pop running it.
He couldn't even get the brotherly shove last week.
Correct. He does not look the same, but his, his not the same
is still an elite quarterback.
He might even better.
He won player of the week last week.
Yeah.
So like you just said, he doesn't look like himself.
But like the week's a very important trophy.
Yeah, I mean, it just titles.
Title town even.
It just shows the current state of like how that player is playing.
That's all I'm trying to say.
And Jalen and Jalen.
Wait, you guys have two player of the weeks right now.
Tyrese Maxxie and Jalen. Wait, you guys have two player of the weeks right now. Tyree's Maxi and Jalenertz.
Title tag.
Oh my God.
Damn, your trophy closet might be over face.
Basically, title tag.
Was Maxi, was he player of the month?
No, weak.
We were just weak.
We're just going weak to weak.
I think AJ Brown was player of the month though.
Oh, okay.
Damn.
So who's man's into this?
Who's the real leader of the Eagles?
You got to player of the month or player of the week.
Well, quarterback, I mean, Jalen Hertz is our leader,
but AJ Brown's a best player, but Jalen Hertz is the leader.
I do think that as much as Dac owns the Eagles, eight and three,
this is back to the similar talk about the dolphins
and the chiefs, like the Eagles, or sorry,
the cowboys
had beaten some bad teams.
Easiest schedule.
They've played a couple good teams and they looked like dog shit.
So I say if the cowboys lose this game frauds.
Yeah, we're going to call them fraud.
Yep.
If the Eagles lose this game and it's close, we're going to say, should you take out the
panic button, Max?
You've had big week with buttons.
I feel like the panic one might creep into your head.
We know you won't press it.
Yeah, that's fair.
It's fair.
I will not press the panic button.
But this is the Cowboy Super Bowl.
What's your mom mad at you?
My mom and I had a nice talk.
Okay, good, good. Shoot, yeah. I mean, I'm mad at talk. Okay, good, good.
Shoot, yeah.
I mean, I'm out of my, I'm out of myself.
Like, like, it's one button.
I know.
Literally one button.
That's a fit.
Like, you can ask memes, everything else was done.
I, I, like, literally every single thing that I need to do for that pot.
I just clicked, I just didn't click the right one.
No, I, when I took pretty important, I know.
I know. All memes is 7am. He was like, oh, yeah, Max in press the button. He's like I'm looking at it right now
Yeah, no button never done this and shout out memes by the way
Shout out memes. Thank you so much. Thank you memes. Thank you. King of the button
Thank you memes. Thank you memes. Thank you. The gym. Thank you memes. Wait memes published it from the gym
No, no, that's you know what? I'm gonna give memes part of my take player of the week. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, congrats.
We finished the show early I normally four p.m. I know and I had it done early. I thought it
Normally how how it how it goes we finish it late I
Publish it I wait for to make sure it goes up on all platforms and then I send send the tweet that it's live. And that's my process of like double checking every time.
We finished it early.
Do you not schedule it when it's done early?
Never schedule.
Do you know what's fucked up?
Is I actually woke up in the middle of the night?
I'm scheduling.
Scheduling is easier to fuck up than just publishing.
I woke up in the middle of the night.
My son came in my room,
said he had a spider on his pillow, wire.
So I woke up, went back to his room,
like no spiders, you fucking lied to me again.
Then it was just like 2.30 in the morning.
I looked on, I just pulled up my phone,
it's 2.30 in the morning.
I saw the tweet and I saw everything underneath
being like, there's no podcast.
I should have said something then,
but I was like, oh, it's probably just upload.
It's processing. And then when I woke up at 6.30, no podcast. I should have said something then, but I was like, oh, it's probably just upload is processing
and then when I woke up at 6.30
No podcast.
I never said that. I never said that.
I don't see the
The Cabois.
You know what? Let's say we're fire for us. Talk about the Eagles and the Cabois.
We'll have this discussion later.
Alright, Cowboys Eagles.
I like the Eagles in this game.
The only thing is it's the Cowboys Super Bowl.
These memes laugh at us as well.
They fucking love this.
The Cowboys love beating the Eagles.
Are they wearing Kelly Green?
No Kelly Green?
No Kelly Green.
I should have worn Kelly Green.
I'm going to bet the over. That's what I'm going to do.
Yeah, because I can't decide. I keep going back.
I don't get it wrong.
I think the Eagles are a way better team than the cowboys.
I think the Eagles will go farther.
But this is the cowboy super bowl where it's like, okay, they have a chance to
Like puff their chests out. Yeah, develop expectations. By the way, how mad do you think Jerry Jones is that the Rangers won the World Series?
Oh, yeah, he's furious, right? He's like, God damn it. Yeah, these bastards big time mad big time mad
Okay, nerd nugget the Eagles own the number one ranked rushing defense 66 yards per game and have limited opponents to fewer than a hundred rushing yards and seven of eight games
They're 524 rushing yards allowed or the fewest three eight games in team. All right, so that guy's got to wait a week to trade
Tony Paula from the wife. Yep. Wait a week. Yep. Yeah, yeah, maybe we could throw in something else too
Yeah, there's a lot of incentive and sentences already. Maybe T.F.
What do you think of Mr. Positions?
Damn, you don't get freaky on us.
I don't know, just saying.
Okay.
All right, Giants at Raiders.
Josh from Tainel's has been fired.
That happened late at night and we've talked about it.
But Antonio Pierce is now the new head coach.
He said, I'm a former player, I touch former players,
they're gonna feel me, I need to feel them.
I love this, I love this for an interim coach,
especially going up against your old team, the Giants.
Yeah.
So Pierce played for the Giants for a while.
I love the Interim,
I was actually hoping that Jeff Saturday
would get the call,
because like just let him be the Interim Coach
for whatever team fires a coach first. Yeah in a season
Did you see rg3 kind of stepped in it because he said that he he
Marsh on Lynch should get an interview for the head coach of the Raiders in the off season
Yep, and everyone's like hey rg3 remember when you said that Jeff Saturday doesn't deserve to be the coach of the Colts
Yep, yep. Well, it's like well, I said interview rg3 is
Rg3 has opinions about things.
That's what I'll say about him.
No one will ever accuse RG3 of not having a loud,
usually incorrect opinion about something,
but he goes by the old saying,
like it's better to be first than right.
So you have to give him credit.
Yes, yes.
Okay, so we also have a couple,
so I like Antonio Pierce. He feels like he's
going to light a fire. And also, Josh and Daniels has to be the number one guy. Like thank God,
that asshole's gone. Oh, yeah. Like the relief in that locker room has to be insane. Oh, yeah.
And they're going with a AOC a quarterback, right? AOC a quarterback. He is the 24th different Raiders quarterback in the last 20 years and
only two quarterbacks of the last 24 year four years for the Raiders have been profitable in a gambling sense against spread and the names will shock you
Raiders quarterbacks. I'm only two have been profitable against the spread. And how many? 24 years. Trial prior.
Yes.
That's good one.
That's a great one.
That's a great one.
That's a great one.
Good, great pull.
The next one, I'm gonna go with Rich Ganon.
Jason Campbell.
Oh, he was gonna be my other guest.
I mean, what a duo.
Yeah, because I remember, I think the Raiders were like,
eight and eight with Jason Campbell.
Trial prior had one decent year.
Yeah. As quarterback.
Yeah.
The the Raiders have had 14 head coaches since Bill Balecheck started in New England.
Wow.
The Raiders also have had 18 head coaches since 1992.
I say that because the Steelers have had two in that time.
It's very funny looking at the Steelers.
Like I think Nate Ties actually tweeted out that the Raiders have had two in that time. It's very funny looking at the Steelers. I think Nate Ties actually tweeted out
that the Raiders have had four head coaches
since they moved to Las Vegas
and the Steelers have had three head coaches
in the last 50 years.
That's pretty incredible.
That's insane.
That's nuts.
And also Mark Davis,
he's currently paying now two head coaches
to not coach the Steelers.
And he doesn't have the money.
He doesn't have the money.
He doesn't have the money.
John Gruden, I think, still has what, six years left.
Yeah.
And McDaniels probably has four years left on his deal.
Yeah.
That's gotta be so awesome.
It is truly my dream to one day be fired as an NFL head coach.
Be great.
And just make money not doing shit.
Apparently there's offset language.
So if you have to look for a job where you have to actively be engaged
and trying to find a new position,
and then that new salary gets offset
against what the former team owes you.
Yeah.
So if McDaniels gets hired at like,
I don't know, a million dollars a year
to coach the commanders next year
under Belichick hypothetically,
then that'll be one million dollars less per year
that the Raiders have to pay.
But as of right now,
Grootin's not working.
McDaniel's not working.
Mark Davis's highest paid employees
are two guys that don't work.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's kind of like Barstle Sports.
Yeah, it's good.
Yeah.
Nice setup.
Uh, the, so I love the Raiders in this game
because Antonio Pierce feels like
it's the perfect interim head coach bounce,
except for the fact that the guy calling
the plays now for the Raiders offensive coordinator, Bo Hardegrey.
Mm-hmm.
Doesn't mean anything, except for one little sentence before I read his name, he is
from the Adam Gase coaching tree.
Oh, I saw that. I was like, no. What is the Adam Gase coaching tree. Oh. I saw that and I was like, no.
What is the, what is the Adam Gace coaching tree?
It's a dead tree.
It's a weed.
What the fuck?
You, if you're bow, you have to get that like,
find anyone else to be in their coaching tree.
That's, yeah.
Who else has he coached for?
Who's got to have somebody else?
Well, let me, let me look this guy up here.
Bow hard to agree.
Bow, I might be saying his name wrong,
but he's got it.
Yeah, the Adam Gace coaching tree.
He looks like a mix between Adam Gace and Sean Peyton.
He was an offensive assistant for the Bears
when Adam Gace and Miami Dolphins, Jets, Patriots, Duke,
grad assistant.
So you can work with that maybe.
Oh, he was an intern at LSU for a little bit.
Yes, so yeah, be a 2011, that was less miles.
Yeah, he's a less miles disciple.
Yeah.
It's way better than that, man.
Oh, maybe Cuckliff, Duke.
Yeah.
Cuckliff is the mannings.
Yep, yeah, all right.
So yeah, you're a Cuckliff coaching tree. Yeah,. So yeah, you're a cut cliff coaching tree.
Yeah, I don't know, Adam Gays coaching tree.
That's one of those things like,
you know when they tell you when you're coming out of college,
like if your GPA is like under three,
don't put it on the resume.
Yeah.
That's when you're in the Adam Gays coaching tree,
leave that off the resume.
No, it's, it's a Charlie Brown Christmas tree
of coaching trees.
It really, I was like,
Raiders Raiders Raiders,
and I read that, I was like, oh no.
Well, it's funny because we talked about coaching trees
and we think that anybody that has a good coaching tree
or has one time been a fruit of a good coaching tree
is you're essentially hiring that guy to be your head coach.
You're different guys,
but if you're going to say a coaching tree,
don't say like the worst person ever.
I don't want to think about Adam Gays ever.
Yeah, yeah.
So we did.
All right, and Daniel Jones is back.
So that's fun.
He's officially back.
I think he is officially back.
So we don't get Tommy DeVito this weekend?
Yeah, Tommy DeVito.
I did see it was very funny because Jeff Schwartz,
who's very good at football analysts, analyzing.
He always laughs at the hypotheticals we throw out there where it like people it will go
It will trend on Twitter every now and then like if you had the best offensive line and you had 10 carries
How many yards did you get and there was one the other day that was like if you had the best team ever like could you get a hundred yards
Passing in an NFL game and Jeff's shorts. It's just like Tommy DeVito. Mm-hmm. Like we we've proven this. Mm- like Tommy DeVito. Like we've proven this. Tommy DeVito. Yep.
We've proven that these hypotheticals are absurd. Tommy DeVito is probably the best quarterback
in his high school history. Yes. Probably in the state. Probably in the time. Well, he was,
I think he was a New Jersey guy. Yeah. Because Billy was saying the other day that he and Tommy
grew up together. Oh, yeah. And that the two of them were looked at as being like two of the top
Carp backs and try state area young so Tommy DeVito beat out Billy for the four star or whatever it was rating
Basically what you're looking at is like a much much much much much better
Version of Billy football playing in the NFL and he got would take a few yards and he got negative two yards
So that should put that hypothetical
to bed for a while. Although I do think I could, I don't think I would throw an interception.
I wouldn't fumble if I ran it. No, I have too much pride to fumble. We've been through
this. It's like the details. You get all the points of contact. I don't, I would not carry
the ball like a little for bread. I mean, we, I said it last night after the end of the
World Series. I would, I would never, ever make the last out in the World Series with
my bat on my shoulder.
You got to give it a good honest chance.
Yeah, that's swing the next day.
I don't care.
Imagine all the guys that are in the dugout watching you
at the end of the game.
Do it for them, take a cut.
All right, nerd dug it.
The Giants Raiders game features the two worst offences
in the league with both squads,
averaging 268 yards per game.
The Giants are also the only team in the NFL
that have not scored at least 100 points this season.
They have 95.
Ooh.
Uh, yeah, I think the Raiders have gone under their team total
every single week this year.
I don't think they've scored 21 points yet.
That's crazy.
All right.
Second last game, Coltopanthers, Frank Reichpull.
Yeah, revenge game, big time revenge game for Reich.
Andy's going up against Gus Bradley who he hired to be the defensive coordinator. So... Do you think Frank Reich, Paul. Yeah, revenge game, big time revenge game for Reich. And he's going up against Gus Bradley, who he hired to be the defensive coordinator.
So do you think Frank Reich, he doesn't seem like a guy that talks much in general.
Do you think he's getting his team amped up being like they didn't want me?
Yeah.
Because if he said that to the panthers, do you think the panthers would be like, we don't
want it.
That's pretty, it sounds like they're smart, smart, run organization.
Yeah, what are they, can you share their phone numbers?
We want to talk about some stuff.
Yeah.
He might not say that, but it's so early on in the season.
And they just got to win.
There might be some guys in the Panthers locker room that
believe.
Yeah.
They're like the believers.
Sure.
Like let's win this one for coach.
I know the Colts defense is really bad.
They've given up 30 38 39 37 points in the last three games.
Yeah, they're one of the worst in the league.
The Panthers on their defensive side, they've got a flu going around.
We're on the flu watch for the Panthers.
So it's that time of year.
Troy Hill was out with the flu.
Hayden Hurst tied in.
He was out with the flu this week.
So there is, there's an illness going around the Panthers lock room this week.
Keep an eye on that.
Okay, I'm going to need to keep very close tabs on that. I on that. For sure. Okay. Nerd nugget.
In their first game since switching the play, calling duties, the Panthers average 7.6 yards
per pass attempt with OC Thomas Brown calling plays in last week's win compared to 5.5
during the first six game with Frank Reich. Okay. So it's progress. Yeah. No, I said it
last week. Thomas Brown make very coaching tree, that is a coaching tree you want,
and they looked a little bit better.
All right, last game of Sunday,
which is the best game,
bills of Bengals, so excited for this game.
Demar Hamlin, that's it.
Demar Hamlin, they're gonna hammer us with Demar.
I do think the bills, maybe there's a weird thing
going on where the bills are like trying to,
Josh Allen's like, I wanna play up tempo,
I wanna play up tempo,
Ken Dorsey wants to play with some tight ends.
I feel like they're gonna start playing up tempo.
I hope they're gonna start playing up tempo.
I hope so.
That's their best chance to think.
Their defense thinks they have to like basically be like,
hey listen, we gotta play up tempo,
we gotta score a shit load here,
because our defense is not good.
Yeah, so that's what I've missed about the bills this year is,
they're not playing in even the games that they lose.
They're not playing in shootouts, really.
And so I want to bring back the shootout bills.
They did get Lenny.
They got Leonard Fernet.
So we got to figure out what we're doing.
Is it playoff Lenny?
Lombardi Lenny?
Wingnuts, Polenny?
Lenny Mafia.
Lenny Mafia. I kind, Lennie Mafia.
I kind of like Lennie Mafia. He was practicing the other day.
He was wearing, he was basically wearing a swimsuit when he was practicing.
Love it. Legs look great, Lennie. Great job.
I'll let it go. It's like you're in good shape.
So you can expect, wait, he's usually good for like, what's the typical
Linnard for Net Stateline? I would say it's like 11 carries 42 yards and a touch down. Now or back of the day, because back of the day, it was like 11 carries 42 yards and a touchdown.
Now or back of the day, because back of the day,
it was like 20 carries 75 yards to touchdown.
Yeah, that was like old linear.
I feel like now three carries, three yards, three touchdowns.
Oh, like three carries.
Three carries, zero yards, three touchdowns.
Jerome Betis.
Yeah, that'd be a great sat line for for Lenny Mafia.
We got fucked last week.
We got fucked by the Bengals. Joe
Mixon had a baby before the game. Yep. They didn't tell us. They didn't tell us.
And then Jack Taylor said on the post game radio show, Joe Mixon has a brand
newborn daughter and it was his best game of the season. We got fucked on that.
We did. That should be they should be listed on the injury report. Yep.
They followed. I should have done. Well, nobody. No one knew. No one knew.
They said public at all. No, it wasn't made public. It should be on the injury.
That's crazy. It should be the NFL should come down on that and be like, Joe Mixon definitely
will play has great sperm. Although maybe Jake should be calling every hospital in America.
I need to put in more effort. Yeah. No, it's just a shame. Yeah.
Okay. My fault. All right. So in the Bengles are back. They're back like this is a game that it's a
Bengal's win. They're all the way back. Yeah, because it Joe Burrow looks healthy
Everything looks like it's clicking this. I'm so excited for this game separation Sunday
It's another must win for the bangles. Yeah, the angles only play in must win game and the bills
They got off to a slow start. You think it's a must win for the bills. I think it's a must win for the bills
I think it's a must compete for the bill. I think it's a must win for the bills. I think it's a must compete for the bills. I think it's a must win for both these teams.
It's going to be big.
Uh, okay, nerd nugget.
If you're an NFL player listening, please DM me if you're about to have a kid.
Yep.
Actually, but not a creepy way.
Just like every time you have sex, DM Jake Marsh.
If you're an NFL player.
Yes.
Is it given what his chap's used the sunglasses emoji?
I don't know.
Yeah, just DM, DM Jake with the sunglasses emoji.
You're about to have a kid.
When you have sex, I'm protected.
Perfect.
This is my nerd nugget of the week.
I have one every week that I hype up and try to wow you guys.
Okay, here we go.
Wow me.
In 20 regular season Sunday night games,
the Bengals are three and 17 overall.
Their last Sunday night win came over the dolphins in 2004.
Okay, it's a long time.
They are very, very bad.
Interesting.
Now, they also have been very, very bad over the last like 25 years.
So they haven't had 20 games though.
20 games is a big sample size, but there was some significantly bad bangles.
Yeah, but you would think they would would get it. Primetime spot.
They play them on AFC North games.
Oh yeah, when it was Carson Palmer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So three in 17, it has been 19 years since they've won
on Monday or something.
Okay, okay, that's a good stat.
All right, that is a good stat.
Very cool.

Okay It's fancy German. Yeah, someone break the ice here
So I was right
I just like to say that we were we were on alignment that we were gonna do fantasy Germans and then...
No, we said we were gonna do fantasy fuck boys
and then I said Z Germans and then we went half and half.
You got everything.
You got the access there.
Well listen, it's a lot of German Italians out there.
Yeah, they live in Argentina.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Dda.
Dda.
Okay, let's get to our interviews. We got awesome interviews. Clinton, Portis, Zah, duh, duh. Okay, let's get to our interviews.
We got awesome interviews, Clinton, Portis, Tiffany Gomez,
what a combo.
What a combo.
Could have been done before in podcasting history,
I can just show you that.
Dream blunt rotation.
Yes.
All right, before we do that, PFT.
Part of my take is sponsored by BetterHelp.
Do you ever feel like your brain is getting in its own way?
Like you know what you should do, what's good for you,
but you just can't do it? Well Well therapy helps you figure out what's holding
you back so you can work for yourself instead of against yourself. I've personally benefited
from therapy. I think a lot of people could, if you're thinking of starting therapy,
you can give better help a try. It can help you deal with major trauma, it can help you
learn positive coping skills, it can help you learn how to set boundaries. It basically
empowers you to be the best version of yourself. It's entirely online. It's designed to be convenient, flexible,

Portis. Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. He's a BCS national champion two time pro baller. It is Clinton Portis in the studio. Clinton, thank you
for joining us for coming here. Appreciate it. We both PFT and I
both like when we were like, Hey, Clinton Portis named
to around like, yeah, we love watching play ball. Because
that you you running the football was the best.
Appreciate it, man. You for having me first off.
And I just think the back position has transitioned so much.
A lot of those guys are so talented
that teams only highlight it.
You just highlight that specialty
instead of allowing those guys to become the total package.
For those guys to be three
down backs. Everybody is kind of running back by committee. You say a guy jogging on you know you
make a good play. You're jogging off the field like that's you it's hard to get rid of of the game
with that style of football. So it kind of takes it away when you look at backs not getting paid.
That's the reason why.
Because you don't get to display and it's higher body of work.
You know, maybe three bags in a lead get 14 to 15 carers a game.
That's absurd.
Yeah, like 15 carers a game.
What are you, if you average five yards of carry,
that's still only 75.
Would you even take a shower if you ran the ball 10 times
I would definitely take a shower I would take a shower if I go outside and switch so I would
definitely take a shower but it's hard for back to just really take over a game and dominate
in that aspect yeah so I did used to love watching you run the ball, but There was something else that you did that I loved watching more. That was your past block it like in past protection
You were a dog you were a fucking beast as a blocker. I remember there was one play
Maybe you can tell me like what game this was from but I think you were chipping somebody you laid the dude out and you did a little dance
Over top of me. Did it like a celebration dance? Yeah, that was that was the Gi somebody, you laid the dude out, and you did a little dance over top of him. You did it like a celebration dance?
Yeah, that was the giants.
And I think it was Q and Nuka.
And what actually happened was the play before,
I think OC attempted to help me up.
And he came and slapped OC's hand,
not knowing our relationship,
not knowing we were already friends part.
You know, whatever it is, he came and slapped O.C.'s hand like in hand comments like, uh,
don't help that we can't hear.
Whatever it was.
And I jump up and we exchange words in the very next play.
Like I see him lined up outside and I told Chris Samuels prior. I was like stay inside. And he had
this look like what are you talking about? And he just if you look at his set, it was like okay I'm
setting I'm staying inside. I don't know why you're telling me that and he never saw it. Yeah.
Like he never saw it. To this day, he still don't know what hit it. Yeah. Doing a horizontal in the air before he hit the ground. Yeah. He still don't know what hit it.
Yeah. You know, and it was like that dance was me exchanging those same pleasantries that he shared
prior, you know, like watch a mouth, you know, you're not ready for this type situation. Yeah.
You were one of my favorite players in the world, so I really appreciate you coming in.
Appreciate it.
It's very cool to see it.
I want to go back real quick to the college days for you.
We've had a couple of guys from the U on the show before, and we always just sit there naming guys that were on that team,
because you had the best roster of all time in college football.
But more specifically, you're running back room that you were in.
Probably the best group of positional players
in college football history at the time.
So can you walk us through what that was like
getting on campus, getting all that talent around you,
and if you guys knew that you were all different?
I would still say to this day, you know,
a lot of people look at running back rooms
and outside of that Thurmond's Hummus Barry Sanders,
you know, what collective group group and they needed a third man
But outside of Thurmond Thomas Barry Sanders, you know, what what group of guys had that success on the next level as well
You know when you look at myself in Willis
We were just shy of 10,000 Frankie G third all the time
look at myself and Willis, we were just shot of 10,000, Frankie G, third all time.
That's crazy.
Yeah, you know this.
You look at all these other bags, you know,
they talk about Alabama and they talk about Georgia.
Those guys, you know, probably finished that career
with five or six thousand,
or it was just no knock tool.
It's just what we had was so different.
Just as an entire team, because our competition,
like I didn't look at my competition as Frank or Willis.
You know, we were all together
and I didn't look at them as my competition.
My competition was we got to figure out
how we kick it, read as the day.
We got to figure out how we kick Philip Buchanan
as the day before. Like Jonathan Vim how we kick Philip Buchanan as the day.
Like Jonathan Villem. You know, that was our competition. It was the defense. You know,
and then when you look at the offense, you like, man, Dre over here, Shaki over here,
Brian McKinney, you know, Vernon Carey, it was so much work on that team that you didn't,
it wasn't like, no, oh man, I'm looking
and this is Frankie G.
Like we sent him trying to figure out a solution.
Like, you know what, though,
re try to, she'll say, I'm gonna go out there
and I'm gonna fuck read up.
You know, so it was one of those situations
that made us all better.
Because in practice, our practice is used to be so crazy.
And I know everyone says the same thing.
Like our practices were so competitive.
Like if I walked up and one of you guys walked up,
I'm like, that's the way it's to rep to me.
Like move out of the way, like, or I'm not doing it, either.
Okay, if you're a different though.
Like I would respectfully, like I go low on you.
Yeah, but I wouldn't give you that chance
because that's what I'm saying.
You going low on me messing around and hurt me. Yeah, so I wouldn't even go with you. Yeah, but I wouldn't give you that chance because that's what I'm saying. You going low on me
mess around and hurt me. Yeah, so I wouldn't even go with you like, hey, you know what? Let me get
out his way and I'm going to go with the next guy. You know, the guy I'm going against was a Dan Morgan
or the Jonathan Vilma. You know, and I knew Jonathan Vilma was going to be special because the
summer that he came Dan and Nate Webster states and him Chris Campbell
They didn't want to you know, it was like nah CP up come here. Vailman come here
And he just would take that ass like he would take that ass with and step back up like I'm gonna get you
Yeah, like it that the
The competitive side of him was there.
So I knew he was gonna be something special, you know,
and to go on and see it, it was just like,
you took this as with an all summer
and then you developed that mentality that we had.
So now, when you're talking more, you're come up
it's like, now you wanna be ready.
Yeah, how fun was it being on that team and you're saying like summer practices, you know you're
playing against incredible guys.
All these guys are going to the NFL on game day.
Were you like, were you guys ever worried?
Because you only played a couple of close games.
It must have been incredible to be on a team like that knowing we're probably going to dominate
and we're going to probably just kick the shit out of you and there's nothing you can
do.
Well, I think we knew we were going to dominate.
You know, and I think it started when Ed Reed came back.
Ed Reed came back, Coach Davis left.
Reed came back.
And that changed our program because of year before we slipped up in Washington and just
on some, you know, cockiness.
We were too cocky and too arrogant, you know, the late great Al Blades.
You know, a lot of the guys were just like, Washington was gonna buy down to us.
And they didn't, they came out and hit us in the mouth early.
And we had to fight to get back in that game.
And we would have had 10 more seconds.
We win that game.
But after that, I think it became a staple.
Like, we're gonna fight to the death of us.
So, that, you know, that 2001 team,
we never was worried.
Yeah.
I think we might have had the Boston College game,
everybody look at like, oh well,
Boston College was about to win.
They were driving, they had been driving most of the game,
but kicking field goal.
So they were gonna have to settle for a field goal,
again, that drive.
I don't think they were gonna beat us,
but to play that, it made, you know,
just solidify that game.
And then we went to V Tech.
That was probably the hardest game for us.
Yeah, two point game, yeah.
Because V Tech and what's crazy is we were blowing them out
and then they blocked the kick.
And that crowd got back into the game.
It was like 27 and we, you know,
like it's like
we rose bowed bound and all of a sudden they blocked a punt and that crowd.
Beamer ball. What? That's all the beamer special. And it just turned into a game. They
hadn't even scored. They blocked that punt and the crowd went crazy. Like they, it just
was like dang, like it was was a fight which was good for us
because once we beat them the brass can then stand to chase.
Yeah, it's a great team.
It was an awesome team and you're close friend.
My favorite player to ever watch play football, Sean Taylor,
end up being on that Miami team too.
People forget he was recruited. He was the number one running back in the state of Florida.
He was like breaking all the records.
He got brought in, moved over to safety.
I know you guys became real, real close
as your careers went on.
What kind of guy was Sean Taylor?
So it was crazy, it's like a quick story about that.
So myself and Phillip Buchanan,
we used to always watch all of the incoming
recruits, you know, we would go out and watch the Frank G's, the Roscoe pairs. We were going to
their games. Everybody was from South Florida. So we were going to those games to watch them.
So when we were watching the incoming crew highlight tape, the one person that we I hadn't heard of
like tape, the one person that we I hadn't heard of was Sean T. So we're getting this quarter back from Gulliver and we're getting another player, but we were hearing about the quarterback,
we knew nothing about Sean. So now when we're watching the highlight tape and I see Sean jumping
over people and running past people like he was doing crazy stuff way before everyone else. So I
get in my feelings like coach solids are like you know you talk about Frankie G
you talked about Willis why hadn't you said anything about Sean he was like that
kid wants to play safety he doesn't even want to play running back and it was like a
whoo like you know like I'm glad.
Yeah.
And you know, once Sean came in and it read was already our all world safety.
So then you asked Sean and Trail Row Kelly Jennings, like it's so many names on that roster
that guys forgot about that were key contributors, you know.
But Sean man, to get him once I got to Washington every day, you know, but Sean, man, to get him, once I got to Washington,
every day, you know, we were talking about in discussing,
they were gonna take Kellen Winslow,
which would have been a great addition for our team
to pick our offense up, you know, and Coach Gibbs was like,
yeah, man, I gotta get you some help
on the offensive side of the ball.
And our conversation went this simple, he was like, I gotta get you some help on the offensive side of the ball in our conversation with this simple
He's like I got to get you some help on the offensive side of the ball. I
Said coach you want to help me on the office off inside of the ball
He said yeah, I got to get you some help. I said well good draft shown because he's gonna get us a ball back
And that's gonna give me more like that. He said do you really think this kid is this good?
Listen if you don't if do you really think this kid is this good? I said, listen, if you don't,
if you don't drive this kid, we're gonna regret it.
And I was a teammate of Kelly Winslow,
who was awesome as well,
but I played with Shaki,
so Shaki was that deal.
You know, like Shaki was,
Kelly was more animated and, you know,
about me compared to Shaki. Like Shaki,
I remember Bush Davis acts as Shaki because he had been jumping off sides. Like, uh, Jeremy
Shaki, what can I do to get you to stay on side? And, you know, he was like, go on fucking first
sound and set back down. And then entire locker room looked just like you all.
Did you shock me?
Did you say that because David, so you know,
playing with Shockey, I knew,
I knew Kelly was really talented.
I just felt like Sean was what we needed in DC.
And in a draft day, I'm calling, calling, calling.
And finally, they called me back and was like,
so do you really think we should take Sean? Now I was like, oh, that's a no brainer.
And when that Sean T popped across the bottom of the screen, it was up.
You know, from that point on, it was awesome.
He would, he was a ballhawk.
He would intercept, he was crazy fast.
Everything.
He would, he would hit you so hard you would not want to run across the middle field.
I've never seen a player like Sean Taylor before where he will affect the game and have every wide receiver
that's running anywhere close to a hash mark.
Just put their hands down.
I'll get her on.
And look around for him.
It's like fuck where is Sean?
And it's crazy because you're thinking of,
bro, I think T.O. is one of the best receivers of all time.
Like I would say T.O. is top three receivers of all time.
Of all time.
Sean, the way the personal problem that he had with T.O.
to punish T.O. every time he ran around.
If you go back and look, I think we got flag,
maybe the Eagles game, T.O. ran an outright,
or maybe he was in Dallas T.O.
ran an out route on the far side line on Dallas sideline and the play came to our
sideline. They ran the ball to our sideline. Sean went and hit T.O. out of bounds on Dallas
sideline. Yeah. Like we got a 15-yard penalty because I'm the opposite side of the hill
He like he wanted to make T.O. No
And I think that was the same game that T.O. had the gator arms where he was wide open and Sean had been after him for so long that
If he just stick his hands out
It's a 70-yard touchdown
Yeah, no one knows those footsteps because Sean had bit and and and blue the coverage
And you know, they didn't even complete it. That's incredible just to have that effect you know even I remember in playing Randy
Moss like I remember what's going to green Bay and playing single high safety against Brett Farber
He getting sideline and sideline like he covering the field, and I think he should have had four or five
interceptions, you know?
Yeah.
So he was just, like, he was a different breed.
He was a different character.
We're gonna get back to Clinton Porter
in a second before we do.
He's brought to you by McDonald's.
That's right, McDonald's.
It smells so good up here.
Two sauces that does smell great in here.
They've got two brand new sauces,
sweet and spicy jam and mombosauce.
It's exciting, right?
I love the mombosauce.
Very exciting.
It's my favorite sauce in the entire fast food world.
Sweet and spicy jam goes great with breakfast.
I would put it on a mackerel, a sausage mackerel.
That sounds pretty good, right?
Hanks, mac and some fries.
How do you like those fries, Hank?
Take some sweet and spicy sauce with that.
Have some. It's available for limited time at participating locations. What's
your favorite menu item at McDonald's? Big Cat. No gets max. Press the button to
talk. Make chicken. I was between the McChicken and McDouble. I'll go make
chicken. Okay they're all good. All right here we go go. We're going to fashion Big Mac sweet and spicy jam.
Sausage review.

That's the best.
That's the best.
It's the best.
That's the rank the best.
That's the best.
I'm going to have some fries too right now.
That is the best.
These sauces are actually legit.
I love the Mamba sauce sweet and spicy jam.
Also very, very good.
They're available for a limited time at participating locations. I love McDonald's. I love Mickey D's. Get
them with your next order. They're only available for a limited
time. Don't miss out. Get some mamba sauce. Get some sweet and
spicy jam and really shout out. Love McDonald's. Thank you,
McDonald's. So when you get drafted, because we love watching
the Shanahan system run the football. When you get drafted at Denver,
where you like this is incredible
because it really did feel like
for the stretch even now with Kyle,
like they just make running backs great.
Just what, what was it like running in that system
compared to every other system?
You know what's crazy?
I walked out of my draft meeting in Indy
at Combine with the Broncos. They had Mike Anderson,
Atlanta's Gary, Tarell Davis, Koran Coleman. They had four backs on their roster. Three of them had
a thousand yards. So when I went in to meet with them, I'm like, man, it was midnight. You know,
I was a long day. I'm like, man, you all not drafting me. Like, why don't I even in here? It was like, are you tired?
I'm like, yeah, I'm tired.
I've been, it was kind of annoying,
like this is wasted, this is wasted meeting.
And then it turns into team that drafts me.
So on Pro Day, I mean on draft day, when they call,
it was just like one of those shocks.
Like, I didn't know who drafted me
because I wasn't watching the draft.
After Carolina took the Sean Foster
with the second pick in the second round,
I was over it.
Like, everything is gonna pay.
You know?
Like I left my draft party.
Like, you know what, they gonna pay,
and they're gonna regret this.
So, I was on my way to Tallahassee when I got the call.
I didn't know what round I went in.
I didn't know anything.
I just, it popped up on my phone Aurora Colorado.
I'm like, yeah, hello, like, Hey, Clint,
and we just, you know, wanted to welcome you
let you know we turned your name in,
wanted to put you on the phone with Coach Shenahean.
I'm like, all right, you know, thanks whatever,
me and Coach Shanahan have a conversation.
Like, congratulations, we can't believe you were there.
You were our top back on the board,
we can't believe you fell to us.
I'm like, well, why are you in the draft man
the first round?
Yeah.
You know, and he's like, kid, just be happy we drafted you.
I'm like, man, you won't regret this.
Like, I'll win, Rikya the year.
I promise you, he's like, man, don't worry about the accolades.
Like, just come be the best shoe that you can be in.
I'm like, coach, you want to regret this, you know?
And it ended up been a blessing in disguise
because you look at William Green,
went to Cleveland, TJ Duckett went to Atlanta,
the shunt, foster went to Carolina.
Combined, I ended up with more yards than all of them,
more touchdowns and all of them,
more knockouts than all of them.
Like all three of them combined,
my sets were better in every phase.
And it was just like one of those personal issues
my first two years where I felt like I needed to punish
everyone and make them know my name.
And you did, rookie of the year, 1500 yards,
15 touchdowns.
Like that was, I mean, it was great, but something about that
Chanahan offense too, it's just like running backs just are
featured in a way that it's just beautiful to watch.
Well, I think it gives you, it gives you in, in Bobby T,
who was one of my favorite coaches,
Bobby T and Don Solinger, two of my running backs coaches,
two of the greats of all time.
Those guys put you in position to win.
You know, I remember coach solenger, hey, listen, every back I got can run the ball.
How are you going to differentiate?
You know, every back that I got in here can run the ball.
I could put anybody in the run the ball.
You know, so that's what made us learn how to block at Miami
Then when you got to the NFL, Bobby T would always tell you like man, you're getting my ass shoot off
Like everything was an issue. You could never satisfy Bobby T
But he was gonna do everything he possibly can to have you prepare for the game
And all of that dancing in the backfield if you look at any of the backs that come out of that system
It's no dancing and reversing
feel and doing, hey, man, you got one cut down here.
It's like it's going to go one, two, three, everybody going to disappear and that's just
the way the old line was.
You know, that's the way the system was set up and then you had guys that were doing the
extra to Shannon Sharps, the Ross, to Eddie Maxx.
Like, that was a blessing for me to be around those guys
because they knew how to win and they won as a team
so that ego was out of the door.
Yeah.
Was it an adjustment at all, learning that one-cut system,
like put your foot in the ground?
I would imagine you have to see blocks develop
in a different way in that system than it was.
It wasn't really an adjustment to me because if you look it,
I think I played nine years, I had seven different
office coordinators, you know, so every year I was a Justin.
And people don't have that discussion, but from college,
you know, it was just one of those. Your first read is the most important. And
if you stay on your first read, you get to the point that your first read gets you to,
and that's where you make your move. Like, don't you do anything prior to stepping on
this point? And I think in that system, that was so great because once you got there,
you had free reign to do anything, but you had to get to that point first.
And, you know, being that I helped with bags, teaching young bags, that's what I try to get them.
This play is designed to get you here without being touched.
Now, once you get here, you got to turn to a playmaker.
So then you go to DC, Joe Gibbs comes back.
You're very first play from the line of scrims
or your first carry against the bucks, right?
Counter-tray to the house.
When you were going, when you were back on the Redskins,
I think a lot of people were like,
maybe Joe Gibbs will see if his coaching philosophy
and systems can translate to the modern game.
That offseason, when he's installing
that like counter-tray based running offense, all that shit, was there a part of you that was like this seems like some old school football.
I don't know if it's going to work or were you guys all like bought in from the start?
Which is Barney. You know, in coach Gibbs is my favorite coach. You know, I play I play
it for some great guys. I think coach Shenhan was great coach, but coach Gibbs, man,
just everything about coach Gibbs was winter.
You know, the way he carry himself, who he is as a person,
the way he lives life, like, it was a winter.
So when you're talking to a woman,
when you're talking to a guy who's one and everything,
like Coach Gibbs was an open book,
like my favorite coach by far,
still conversed with him, still calling, check on him.
Coach Gibbs, it was just that,
like whatever you need me to do, you know?
Like you want me to jump into the stadium
from jumping out of an airplane, coach,
all the arm scare, shitless, I'm gonna do it.
You know, like that's the relationship
that Coach Gip's brought out of a lot of the guys.
You guys are cuss, right?
You don't have to cuss.
He doesn't curse.
Like, he's just a man.
Never even like when he's really mad.
No, he's a good guy to read.
Like, he would get really read and it would be like, he's pointing at his chin and he kind
of shake it.
So that was the curse word.
You know, I got the reds.
That was, you got to have the reds.
You know, and you'd be like, yeah, like, I got the reds as I said, you gotta have the reds. You know, and you'll be like,
yeah, like, I got the reds.
You know whatever it was.
So, but that was just cause you give me,
he had a way to affect you.
It didn't take curse and it didn't take like,
it was this, I'm gonna allow you to be you,
just do it full speed.
So you were eccentric when you were playing,
you had the costumes costumes do you have any
Different characters that you look back on and be like oh that one sucked or I love that one because you had everything
Reverend gonna change dollar bill. What's crazy is those costumes playing around because I wasn't practicing a lot
so we were doing that
Prior to the media catching us. I had been doing it just playing around and walk through
With my teammates because the energy was low
So you know our old line thought I was fucked up like they thought I was screwed up in there. Oh, I thought you're fucked up
Yeah, like they loved it. They thought I was screwed up in the head like they were like what is wrong with this guy?
You know like and then what's crazy is if you I think maybe two weeks or three weeks
You see the entire team
Participate you see the Chris coolie the rock cart Ray
Brandon Lloyd like dev and thumbs you see the entire team. I think it was broke suites
the entire team, I think it was Bruce Sweets. And every, I had like seven or eight of my teammates
participating with me.
And I think that's the game that everyone bought in
and it changed our culture.
You know, like it changed our locker room,
everybody bought in.
And then from that point on, it was like every player,
his wife or his kid or somebody in his family sent a wig or sent some glasses
or had some input on it.
And for me it was just like, yeah, it was keeping it loose
and we had a wind street going and the guy started to buy in
and it's just starting to like, it fed the city.
You know, who was your favorite character that you did?
I would say bro sweets.
And the reason I would say bro sweets is because everybody
was there and I wasn't going to do it.
Like I didn't come with, like I didn't come with glasses
or a wig or anything.
I was done.
I only had like three or four costumes and I was out and you know, I show up I
Show up to practice in the parking lot. I'm thinking
Somebody got traded like something crazy have a CNN like all of these big trucks were sitting in parking lot
Like man, what's going on like what happened? You know when I come in?
I'm like like what happened, you know
I'm looking for Miss BJ, but it's early morning like, man, like, who in the hell? I got traded or who
got in trouble. And when I finally find somebody with an answer, they was like, Oh, no, that's
the media. They're here for your costumes. I'm like, I don't even have a costume. They
were like, what? I'm like, I don't have no costume. Like I'm not doing that today.
And they were like, no, what do you need?
Like, we gotta do it.
And I'm like, bro, whatever y'all go get,
like I'll be creative enough to do something with it.
And they wouldn't got so much stuff.
That's why everybody was able to be in costume
that third week.
So I would say bro, sweet.
Would you get into character?
I remember Sheriff gonna get you.
That was my favorite one that you get.
Yeah, when I look back, you know,
if someone sent me the clip and I look back,
I often laugh like, what was I thinking?
You know, like, what was I thinking?
You know, what was I going through?
What was I dealing with?
But I can remember all of those times, you know, I did the
The Napoleon Dynamite. Yeah, and that was one of my my favorite because everyone who knew me
Like I was always quoting Napoleon Dynamite and doing crazy stuff in the room. So
When we did that like I remember
easy stuff in the room. So when we did that, like I remember talking to Randal L and maybe Mike Sellers in Santana, like messing with them, like yeah, I talked them this. So it was
a good time. You know, I could recall the memories like each costume, I can kind of recall
like that environment that day. Yeah. Coach Janky Spanky, there were some good ones.
There were some really good ones.
Do you remember in, I think it's 2008,
Chris Cooley, your teammate,
when he posted a picture of his penis online?
You remember that?
I do, that was like the beginning of online.
Yeah, in court, like I remember a coach was so like,
like what is wrong with Chris Cooley?
Like I remember Coach Gibbs calling me
to talk to Chris Gips, like,
Clint, have you talked to Chris?
Is everything okay?
I'm like, Coach, he's perfectly fine.
Like, on his folder, and this is what people don't know.
The picture that he posted, like, he was drawing balls
in like, Cox on his his folders and turned them in to
coach Gibbs.
Like no one ever talked about that, but he was like, they always all over his folder.
And he was turning in the coach Gibbs and coach Gibbs thought like this kid is like this
kid is off his rock.
Yeah.
I think he was, it was for like his own blog that he was doing.
And he was like in his hotel room, it took a picture of his playbook to be like,
look, I'm up all night studying and his tiny little penis, which is like
poking in the body.
It's like, dude, you didn't look at this before you put on your own blog.
Yeah.
Cool.
Cool is crazy.
Cool.
It was one of my favorites, he made so good.
The dumb question.
I always love the visor look on a running back.
Was there ever time when you like couldn't, when you would tent it and you like, I can't even see,
but this looks cool. Cause when you play maddened, it's like, first thing you do, tent the visor.
It, you know, it, I never had that issue. When it stopped being cool, was it in a field when
they started finding me. Really? Oh yeah, those finds started.
When it was like, when it was the $5,000 fine,
you're like, oh well, I'm gonna wear this for $5,000.
And then they started doubling and tripling.
And I think the Eagles game, when me and Sean came out
with the candy cane and the different shoes,
the soccer cleats, and he had his face masks taped up.
I think they find us like 70K, you know.
That's a guess.
Yeah, that's when it was like,
man, it should not worth it, you know.
But those finds just started adding up.
You like, okay, it's five grand, like cool, whatever.
But once they hit us for the big lick, I was like, yeah, I'm done.
And then that following week, the refs, as soon as I walked out of the tunnel, like stopped
me, it was like, any infraction you're out of here.
I'm just like, what are you talking about?
And they were like, any infraction, like they checked my socks, they checked my shoes,
my gloves had to be the same, like my visor, they were like in the infraction, you're
going.
That's the same.
But you looked awesome.
Yeah, visors were worth it.
Awesome look.
They appreciate it.
Yeah, it was a good look for that game.
It's also insane that they would throw you out of a game if your socks were like the wrong height.
But what's crazy is they adopted that,
that my calls, my cleats,
I was the first one with the gold bottoms and all of that.
Then they found a way to capitalize,
to monetize the deal.
That's how they do it.
And they found a way to monetize.
It also means that you've probably saved a lot of lives
because there's all this my calls, my cleats,
people raised the money for charity.
Now it's a charity thing that would not exist if it wasn't for Clinton, Portis.
You're a hero.
And all the finds, I probably pay it
for a lot of those charities from the beginning.
You know, I promised you I pay for a lot of those charities.
But I think it's a great cause now is just
how you monetize it, you know,
when the individuality of a player, you took away.
Yeah. So, uh, this is maybe a dumb question, hard question, but when you're running back and
you're getting later on in your career, what's the first thing, uh, where you're like,
oh, shit, I'm old. Like, what is it? Is it the burst? Is it, you know, the power? Is it,
like, what, what was the first time when you're like oh? This isn't this isn't me being 21 years old anymore. This feels different. I
Don't I don't even think I got to that feeling. I think for me it was the politics
Oh when you start like realizing and recognizing the politics of the game
Yeah, like and it happened for me on the sideline. We were playing the Stillers 2008, I think.
And for me, the incentive was,
it was gonna be the fastest I ever got to a thousand yards.
And I was leaning in that field.
I think I had like, 980 something yards rushing.
So it's like, my incentive is, I'm coming out of week eight and I'm already
at a thousand yards. Like it's up, you know, like for me, that was the incentive and it was taking
the wrong way. I'm telling the coach like run the ball because I got this like I'm going to get
these yards. You're getting yards every time. me, but it wasn't accent selfishly.
Like, hey, let's run the ball.
It was kind of, I'm in my bag.
I know they can't stop me.
So give me the ball.
You know, and we had a blow up on the sideline
and it just kind of changed.
Like he felt like I was being,
like I'm not worried about your stats.
And I'm like, what are you talking about?
You're averaging over four yards a carry?
Yeah, you're talking about your time.
You're worried about stats.
Like I'm telling you, I'm going to get whatever I need
to get done, and I'm going to lead this team.
And I think after that conversation
it kind of went the wrong way.
And we had a bi-week, we came back and we played Dallas,
and you know, we had this crazy,
we're gonna throw the ball against the markers wear.
Like, that's a bad idea, you know.
And anytime I could tell, if we were gonna win or lose against Dallas,
just contingent upon the game plan.
If it was past heavy, they're gonna win. If it was run heavy,
we're gonna win. You know, so it was one of those three week stretches where I went from leading the
league in the NFL to three weeks or four weeks later, I probably had gained a hundred yards because
men the coach had a rift on the sideline where he felt like I was being selfish So I think it was at that point. I'm like, yeah, man. This
I'm over this. Yeah, I think we're what six and two at the time. We were definitely six and two. We were really good
Six and two and then should fell completely apart and that's the reason it fell apart
And people would never talk about that, but that's the reason it fell apart
It was like four weeks that it was some internal stuff going on
that people didn't know about that just separated that team.
Because at six and two, we were playing really good football
and then it got to the point like, okay, I'm gonna show you,
I'm gonna coach, we're not running the ball,
this isn't about you, and then we lose three games in a row. Yeah.
Yeah. It's okay that I say we I always think about that if I'm talking to a player like is we if you if I'm
You went through it. You went through it with us. I always with you. I was with you. I was with you.
You went through it with us. So in the transition between Gibbs, he leaves the team.
They're trying to figure out who to hire as next coach. This was maybe the weirdest coaching search of all time that the redskins went through. We hired Jim Zorn, the offensive coordinator,
right? He was a quarterback's coach. We brought him in as an OC. Then everyone was like, oh, we're
going to hire a fossil from the, he used to coach for the Giants. He's going to be the next head coach.
Things kind of went sideways with that for whatever reason. I don't know. Maybe you can explain
that. But then Snyder says, okay, we're just gonna,
you know what, Zorn's gonna be the head coach now.
I know he's never called plays before.
He's never been a head coach before.
But I believe in the sky, he's gonna be the head coach.
As a player on that team, when you're going through
that process, do you just sit back and be like,
can somebody explain to me the logic behind this?
Oh, you got me speechless in that.
So rare.
I think as a player, we want it.
We want it coach Williams.
Everybody wanted Greg Williams.
Yeah, Dr.
Pete to be the coach, you know, in Greg Williams takes over that team.
I honestly think within those years because that team was so put together from coach Gibbs
and coach Williams' philosophy was kind of that hard
and those just like coach Gibbs.
I think we had an opportunity for more playoffs
and possibly to make a run with the team,
built the way that it was. And then once you switch to the
new guy, it was downhill because that shift of being tough, that shift of being a red skin,
which coach Gibbs had that toughness, you know, which coach Gibbs had built,
disappeared that quick, you know, it was like, let's go another direction.
You know, I don't want to be the tough.
We're going to be finesse.
We're going to be, you know, in we got,
we went from tough to soft.
And the faces and voices change so quickly
that the direction was lost.
You know, for a bunch of the guys that I would say
were the leaders that were the blood sweating tears,
you kind of wanted to silence them
and go in a different direction.
And when you went in that direction,
it lost the team because those guys didn't have
the respect of the heart
now. So the people who landed on the line, you know, we're kind of like, you're landing
on the line, but you're not my guy. And this is my guy. And you like, that guy's, you know, garbage. But it was one of those situations.
And, you know, in, oh, eight, after the season,
we went to San Francisco,
we finished the season in San Fran, new years.
I actually betrayed it.
You know, that never got out.
But I tried to leave.
I'm like, just trade me, you know, like get me out of here
because this is going, this is going in the wrong direction,
you know, from from coastgibs to missing,
Greg Williams to the direction we went in,
in that six to eight months, it changed everything.
We love Dr. Heat, we love Greg Williams on the show.
Big time.
In practice, would he just, would he fuck up the office
of Game Plan?
Because he just blitzed everybody all the time?
Oh, he was arrogant, but that was a good thing
because that made us competitive.
You know, when those guys, you never knew
what he was gonna do and then you had craziness,
like Marcus Washington and Sean and
Antonio Pierce. Like you had these guys who were just like his like this is he seeking
muscle. Yeah. And it's a guy that you respect. You know, Mark is washing coming off the
end full speed disrupting. What are you going to say to that? That's the way he play. Yeah, Ashaw and T blitz and what are you gonna say?
That's the way he plays. So it's not like he's doing this, you know, as a practice player
It's like, okay, let me buckle my shit up like they own one the day. I'm sure yeah, yeah
It was more of that and once you want you lost that and you started to see the politics
like everybody going to Acts for Greg
and this is what you give us.
Like do you really want to win?
You know, it was a lot of questions.
Who's your favorite back right now?
Watch.
Of course it's hard not to say Christian McCaffrey
because I know the system that he's in
but I think those backs in Miami, which I mean, that's the chain and tree most certainly that kid H.A.
And he comes back that that separates Miami, you know, that gives them another dimension.
But I like guys like that. I love guys who can hit the home run from anywhere.
You know, you look at Breast Hall. I don't think he get enough opportunity,
but when he puts the ball in his hand, he's out.
Like, it's a big play way into happen.
I think ETA is getting into his bag as well.
You know, I've been watching him lately.
And I think he's growing as a running bag.
So I love the young guy, like the explosive guy
that can take it the distance from anywhere
because you're not getting that opportunity
You know you look at Derek Henry who's you know, we was getting 20 the 25 touches a game his touches are now
Yeah, and he's not having the same effect on the game, but your quarterback is house of not house the back is
What's quarterback name? Oh, real hell or real?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, your your quarterback is 10 of healing you throwing the ball 40 or 50 times a game
That's not adding up like I got Derek Henry and I got 10 of heal
Mm-hmm, and I'm then 10 of here showcase his talent
It's something wrong with it. Yeah, yeah, um, you mentioned Antonio Pierce
He's now the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
That's kind of wild.
He got his toes in.
Why do you think he's going to be as a coach?
I think he's going to be great.
What's crazy is, AP entire career has been crazy.
So AP was the special teams guy for the Redskins.
And he was a key contributor in our run.
You know, and everybody loved him.
Like, he was big on our team.
And, you know, he was about to sign a deal with the Redskins to stand town.
I think we had like six weeks left,
four to six weeks left, and they had offered him like,
like two million.
He come down and says everybody knew he was negotiating.
You know, he came downstairs with his head down.
It was like the last day of negotiations.
And he was about to sign for like 2.5.
And he, you know, like he was sad, like,
man, they lowballed me, but I'm finna sign it.
And I'm like, who your agent, you know,
he was like, whatever his agent name was,
I'm like, man, I'm gonna call my agent.
And my agent was Drew Rosenhaus,
I called Drew, like Drew, man,
we got this kid ape, like Antonio Pierce,
he's really good, they're lowballing him,
like his agent really not helping.
You should talk to him.
You know, I introduced him.
AP ended up not signing that deal shortly after.
He goes to New York, becomes a team captain, Super Bowl, Super Bowl, you know, like in his
career just blossom after that.
So I think AP does well.
I wish it was a fair opportunity instead of this interim,
where you're gonna go and look for someone else, you know.
But it gives him an opportunity to showcase what he's capable of.
And if you look at that giant's defense,
AP was the one put everybody in space,
put everybody in position to get them guys together,
that D line, the line back in core
To have everybody where they needed to be so he's a really smart guy
I think instantly the Raiders defense improves
But I don't know offensively how much it brings it stable
But if I if I had Devon say Adams in fantasy, I would think the AP is gonna get him to ball
Yeah, yeah, he has to.
Uh, dumb question that I like to ask some of our professional athletes to come on the show.
How cool was it being fast?
Because you were really fucking fast.
You ran track in high school, right?
Yeah, it was.
You're just faster than everyone.
Do you ever think about like, man, that was awesome when I was so fast?
Yeah, it was, but it seemed like back in that day everybody was fast
It seemed like everybody ran track, you know like I can remember
Been in a in a race. We were in the uh in the Biggie
Championships and I just looked down the line that you guys sent out of Mars
Philip Buchanan
Nijay Davenport
Tori Mitchell, myself, and Daryl Jones.
It's only eight lanes.
It's only eight lanes.
And six of the kids were from the football team.
Right.
And I'm like, I wasn't even the fastest.
I think I finished fourth.
That's crazy.
Like I finished fourth, Santana, Tori, Phillip, and then me.
That's nuts.
Do you think it's weird that the guys don't run track anymore?
Yeah, I think it's really rare.
And the weirdest part about it is, that's where all the fun,
because all the women are on the track team.
Yeah.
Like, why wouldn't you run track?
You know?
You know, when you run track, and it was a way to get out of workouts for me.
Yeah.
So it was like, Coach, we gotta track meet, man.
I can't be a hell of a fan of all these crazy weight.
You be like, boy, it's like get a, and you know, eventually let me just go on the track
practice and handle my business.
I'd be like, Coach, man, all this weight, like it's slowing me down, you're gonna get me burnt,
like you're gonna get me smoked, you know?
So it was just one of those, but it was so fun
because the guys, for us, for myself,
Tana, Andre Johnson, like that gave us a chance
to just get out of Miami and really bond.
So when we came back to the team,
we got more sorts.
It was only he was throwing javelin.
Like half hour full, all incredible.
Was on on the track.
That's the most intimidating track team of all time.
Has to be.
The coach of Miami track team is the luckiest person.
She is.
I'm just gonna invite all these guys showing off.
Yeah.
He's throwing javelin. Oh my god
That's I gotta see some tape of that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, being fast would be cool. I've never been fast. So I
Mean you lose it. That's that's the thing about you're definitely gonna get slower as you a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All right, so give us your Super Bowl pick who you got this year. We were your two favorite teams.
Oh, I like the Eagles. I think I think the Eagles in the NFC, they're the most complete team right now.
Barring any, any, and they have depth. So, uh, barring nothing happens to, to hurts, a brown or Smith.
or brown or Smith, I think the Eagles go NFC. And AFC, if Lamar continues to develop, and that defense, you know, it's a new decordinator,
they're getting their stuff together.
If that defense hits Stride in December or January January where they have that identity back of a Baltimore
Ravens defense, I think the Ravens become tough because the goal is to keep Lamar fresh
doing the season. And if you can get him into the playoffs healthy instead of nagging injuries
like every other year, I think he brings a different
element and dimension to that team.
So right now, what he what what he's learning to do and keeping himself fresh is going to
be problems for people down the line.
Okay.
Good answer.
All right.
I have one last question.
Robac question.
Promoco take you at 20% after first purchase.
Qzips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, everything,
rowback.com promo code take,
the most comfortable clothes in the world,
use promo code take, 20% off your first purchase.
Okay, this is a hypothetical last question,
and we're gonna probably talk about it in FireFest,
but you've been in a lot of team situations.
What do you do if one guy on your team,
he's got the easiest job in the world.
All he's gotta do is let's say press a button
and he doesn't press the button and he fails the whole team.
How do you deal with that?
You whooping.
Okay, that's a good answer.
You whooping, yeah.
And Miami, that guy would have got whoopped.
Yeah, I like that.
He would have got hands and feet put on him.
Okay, hands and feet put on him. Okay. Maybe he's put on
on my maybe maybe nobody would have known about it. Yeah, but he would. Okay. The next
side, the next side, he'd have pressed that button early. Yes. Hold on. Hold on. Let's get
this right. One, two, three. You want me to press the button? Oh, you got to do
press the button. Well, all you got to do is press the button. He would have understood,
you know, so I think that was the great thing about Miami D.
The discipline came from the players,
not even the coaches.
The discipline came from the players
and the, you know, it was a bonding moment
because you were holding each other accountable.
So all of that, all of that, that little sneaky
and somebody saw you.
Yeah, somebody saw you.
Well, well, okay, I like that. I like that and somebody saw you. Yeah, somebody. Well, welcome.
Hands of fees.
I like that.
I like that.
I'm producer.
I forgot to press the button on Wednesday.
The podcast just didn't go out.
Put his feet in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, well, welcome.
All right.
Well, Clinton, this has been awesome, man.
So much fun.
Also tune in pro football football show.
Clinton was on this week.
That's airing on YouTube eight o'clock
Easter on Friday night. Awesome time with you today. Yeah. Thanks so much. I know people will be
listening to this on Friday, but you're gonna stick around for the stream too. We're gonna watch the
ball. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for winning a playoff game for us. We want to playoff game. And that
was the last time. That was the last time. I think Mark Brunel had like 42 yards passing. You had a touchdown. I remember that
That's that's honestly that's the highlight of my career fandom as a
Washington Redskin commander. Thank you. Thank you. Because it should have been so much. I know like I think I honestly think the year that we lost
To see out. We were up at halftime
Colors Rogers misty.y, Mr. Pick 6,
and the onside kick, I think we recover our onside kick,
and we come out throwing the ball from me at feel,
and they stop us, we go for it on fourth down,
and that changes the game.
If we win that game, I honestly think,
because we had already played the Bears and the Steel, you know, if we win that game, I honestly think, because we had already
played the Bears and the Steelers that year, I honestly think that give us a chance at
that Detroit super.
We're running the damn ball.
Yeah.
That's what we're doing.
All right.
Well, thanks so much, Clinton.
Appreciate it, man.
Hey, no problem.
Thanks, man.

It is a part of my take exclusive.
It is Tiffany Gomez.
She is here in studio.
You probably remember her.
She did go viral a few months ago.
The plane incident which
Let's let's we can put that in the past. I mean who cares about that, right? Oh, is that fingers crossed? Oh, please. Yeah
Yeah, so I don't remember that's yeah, I don't even I don't even remember what you're talking about
You're just our friend so we invite you to come on the pocket right so
What did you see?
You really start off with that well, it's the hard question you start off with that? Well, it's the hard question.
You start off with the hard question
and then it's like, everything's gonna get easy off that.
Yeah, wow.
We can start off and then we'll jump to big guest first.
Your first question, so.
Yeah, so.
So.
I'm just so you know, like, I'm kinda like,
so I got three kids, like I'm the dad,
like I kind of like Hank's dad, he's the cool guy here.
So like, I'm like the dad of the podcast,
but Hank is like our guy.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just wanted to set the stage.
Well Hank kind of runs Barsal sports.
Yeah.
I've heard.
He drives an Audi.
He's the guy behind the sun.
He's the best golfer.
He's always on vacation.
He's the guy.
Yeah.
I see you're like saving kittens and all sorts of shit.
Oh yeah.
I mean that's people, you know, people.
Oh I see.
They're blind, they like to cast one.
They're blind, it's so wild.
Yeah, I drive a Lamborghini.
I donate to charity, constantly.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna say the addict, all that stuff.
All right, so I'll start it easier then.
No, we can get to that.
All right, so how crazy is your life been?
It's been the last like few months
because I would imagine like, you know,
the internet's a weird place, you go viral and you're like holy shit all these people watch this video this is insane.
Oh man. I yeah it was it's been very wild. I don't even know how to explain it honestly.
There's like no playbook to going viral right? No No. Yeah. Like, I am just a normal person is contrary to what people think.
Mm-hmm.
I promise you I'm a pretty normal person.
And after this all went viral, yeah, my life to change.
Like, I chilled for a little bit.
And people didn't think that because, like, DMZ and all the things.
But, no, I did.
Like, I didn't come out of my house for, like, over four weeks.
That's crazy.
Like, literally blinds down everything.
Like, so, all right, so walk us through when it happens.
So it happens and then you go home
and then the next day it goes viral
and are you like,
no, that's not that big of a deal.
Only a few places opposed to it
and then you're like, oh wait, fuck,
this has now become like a meme and everything
cause I, I would imagine it's a very scary feeling.
That's a funny story. So obviously I leave the airport finally, which I did not get arrested. I know everyone thinks I did. I don't know how I did it, but I did not get arrested.
And I had already left when they like came out with some citation or something, so I didn't refuse
to sign anything like I just was gone. You left, yeah or something, so I didn't refuse to sign anything.
Like I just was gone.
You left, yeah.
Yeah, so I'm like in the Uber calling my mom, I'm like, this is bad.
Like mom, this is bad.
And I'm like, I'm going to go viral tomorrow.
So you saw the phone call at the time.
So you do at the time.
I just knew what a fool I acted.
Like I just knew, like I knew I was going viral.
And you know how social media is, like I'm knew, like I knew I was going viral. And you know how social media is?
Like I'm not dumb to realize what's gonna happen.
So that was like a later flight.
By the time I got home,
I am like literally like a crazy person, not literally,
but searching like American Airlines,
American Airlines on TikTok.
Like I'm like, I know it's gonna come out
and I am freaking out inside.
Like talk about anxiety.
Way more anxiety than I had in the moment.
Right.
So anyways, yeah, we,
and I got on another flight at 6 a.m.
on Southwest.
It's a successful flight.
A successful flight.
We're in the same outfit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wait, did you put your hair down at least the next time?
No, I can't like my hair is wet. Like the reason why I slick it back like that, people think that's like, oh,
she's trying to get no, no, like that's my lazy fit.
Like, yeah, you're on a airplane.
My hair's wet.
Yeah, like I tie it on a bun.
Like it's long as it takes 30 minutes to blow dry it.
Like I'm trying to do that every day.
Right.
So, um, yeah, we get there and we're going on a cruise
so you like drop off your bags immediately.
So I can't even change.
So the only person that knows what's going on is my mom.
We have like my grandparents, my siblings,
everybody's there.
On a family cruise.
But I'm the only one on, like I'm on a separate flight.
Right.
I'm meeting them there.
So yeah, I like can't even like get a new shirt
out of my bag.
I'm like, mom, you have a hat, like do you have a beach hat?
Like sunglasses, anything.
But it hadn't gone that viral yet.
Thinkin' this.
But that night I like literally got off of
all of social media.
Yeah, smart.
I deactivated every account, deleted every photo.
The only photo they can find is like 10 or 12 years old
from an old like, they're like,
she doesn't look like the same girl.
Well, I hope not, those 12 years ago.
Yeah, right.
I mean, I got my eyebrows microbladed since then, sorry.
You're not a clone officially,
because then when the apology video came out,
everybody was like, oh, it's a different person. Are you CIA plant? Is this a big opportunity?
Oh my God.
Yeah, I'm a third. I'm CIA.
I mean, the conspiracy theories are really good.
Yeah, they kind of are.
And they're really entertaining to listen to, but no.
Okay. We were saying when it happened,
like, everyone that thinks that this is a different person.
Like, have you ever been with a girl?
Yeah. Women have like 100 different with a girl? Yeah, women have like a hundred
different looks. Yeah, they can get into.
He's been a lot of you. Well, but not that not too many. Not too many. The right amount.
A good amount of the good amount. He's experienced. Yeah. Yeah. Right.
Hey, it's kind of a perfect. He's a dad. The perfect amount. Oh, I can't.
Saddy. Yeah. Wait, so, okay. Can I ask again what you saw?
Yeah. You know, the reason why I probably haven't come out yet because it's like so cringe. Um, I did not see anything
What? I mean, I think you'll know that okay. I we honestly had no idea. Yeah, you said you did
No, I did not the media you said this mother from a salt real that mother fuck it
It's not real. Okay's not real. Okay.
Like, apologies.
Yeah, so I got in a bit of an altercation, it spiraled out of control.
It was not my best moment.
It means actually a horrible moment.
It's absolutely mortifying.
Everyone has bad moments on planes.
Yeah, but mine, you know, 450 million plus people have seen it.
Like, it's pretty cheap.
It's pretty cheap.
I'm sorry.
Exactly, exactly.
Thank God people don't think it's me though.
Yeah, I know.
It's the same.
I'm cool with that.
I'm happy if they don't think it's me.
So what you're saying is that clip that we all saw,
that motherfucker's not real, is not like you thinking
that if someone is an alien, it was just the tail end
of an argument.
It was an expression of speech.
Okay. So it was just like you had an argument argument. It was an expression of speech. Okay.
So it was just like,
you had an argument with some guy on the plane
and then as you're leaving,
you're like,
that motherfucker's not real.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Is it like armrests?
Like you guys are fighting up armrests?
Yeah, it was a fight over.
Overhead space.
This is way less crazy, by the way,
you're completely vindicated.
Like, because everyone obviously said,
they watched a clip and they're like,
oh, what'd you see in Alien?
What'd you see this?
No, no, she was just saying that motherfucker's not real.
Yeah, I mean, so Daily Mail was like the first
to like take it and run with it.
And they're like, she saw a not real person.
And I'm like, they are making me look bashed.
Yeah.
And given I did, like I did look absolutely crazy.
But no, I'm just was in my feels,
needed to get off that.
I was highly distressed.
Not a good look, it was not a good situation.
Yeah, so it was a good look.
So was the armrest guy smell bad?
I was thinking, no, I'm actually in the aisle seat.
And I like gave up my aisle seat,
because as you heard me say I'm only five two
My little bratty ass voice like so sorry for that by the way
So gave up was in the middle seat and it was just
There was just a really bad energy and I don't want to get into like all the details of that just as you know there's
It's ongoing and yeah, it's probably not the smartest to get into that, but yeah.
I feel like you're vindicated now because it really was everyone thought like oh she saw something.
She saw something, she's crazy, she's on drugs.
I'm gonna worship it.
That's just expression.
It wasn't very cool or bad.
It wasn't very cool or bad.
It was very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, people dressing up as you for Halloween. That's crazy. That's kind of, that's wild. Was there one in particular that you saw
and you're like, that's my favorite?
There was actually this little baby that was adorable
that they dressed up, but you know,
there was a one girl that like, pan to the bunny
that like, Dallas TV news put on
and that one was pretty legit.
Baby's always funny.
Baby's always funny.
Yeah, but the baby's like, on a roll mention for sure.
Yeah, so after this happens, and when you see like the first,
like five, 10 minutes of you go in viral,
and you like shit, somebody put it out, this is happening.
Did you like hope that somebody very famous died right then?
So then that way people just focus on that and stuff.
You know what, there's so many things that happened
that it's still continued to go viral.
Right. I have no clue why.
Like, the people that shit on a plane?
Like, I mean, I thought that was the best thing for you.
I was like, we're gonna move on.
It still didn't go away.
Like, it still didn't.
It still didn't.
Yeah, and I was like, really,
like, don't give me confused with the person
that shit on the plane.
Like, I just lost my shit.
Yeah, I got a theory, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way
I think maybe you are attractive
That might have been why people people like no seriously like the internet is a
Hornie place and so they're like oh attractive woman going crazy. Yeah, I'd rather watch that video than like literal human feces
I mean, let's be real like
No pun intended My voice was just so high pitch. Yeah, yeah, then people like that she doesn't sound the same. Well, thank God
I'm like that every day like who could deal with that
Yeah, you had a bad moment. It was amplified to like the big it was like the wrong place at the wrong time times
Seems like and so now everyone has bad moments. It was really bad.
Your worst moment like exists as like the internet's focus of who you are as person.
Yeah.
So people like think I've like been trying to like, I've been trying to dodge it honestly.
Like I, you know, I put out the apology video because obviously I am really sorry to
everybody on the plane. Like that, I disrupted a lot of people and the plane. I disrupted a lot of people.
I travel a lot, and that's just really not my character.
It was just a wild situation that I was in,
and I needed, you know, I did need to get off.
I just wish I would have done it peacefully,
not making some outlandish comments.
Well, anyone who's judging you long term is crazy.
They're not real.
Those motherfuckers aren't real.
Cause like who doesn't have a bad moment?
Who cares?
And now it's like for the longest time
I couldn't laugh about it.
Like now it's like dude you were out, you were out there.
Like you need to do.
Yeah, you gotta lean into it at some point.
Yeah, and now it's like it is funny now that like a
little time. Yeah, it's past like it was embarrassing like I felt really bad for my family like super close with
my family. Yeah, you're going on a cruise with them. You can't be any closer than going on a
fucking cruise. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, you can imagine like I go viral and I'm have to
get on a cruise ship. Give it to your mom.
To Disney.
I'm like losing my mind.
The last thing I want to do is be on that.
But it was probably the best thing for my mental health.
Yeah, I'm sure it was.
But people wearing like mascot outfits jumping around you
and you're sure it's actually.
I'm trying my hardest to get a picture of Minnie Mouse.
Like a try.
But she had a line like out the door.
This should be warning to everybody.
Just never going to cruise.
If you never go on a cruise, this wouldn't have happened. Exactly.
Proofs are like prisons. Yeah, don't do it. Are your parents like internet literate where
they knew what was going on or you're just like, yeah, there's this video going on.
No, thank you. Thank you. Oh, good question. No, you just said it was really good question.
No, not at all. So my mom her Facebook profile was public. Yeah
First-person found me is because my mom's Facebook profile was public. Yeah, I was like mom
What are you doing? And I was like okay, no, just go is my fault
So anyways, she just deactivated her account because then she she felt so bad. I'm like mom. It's not your fault like that's a crazy one
But the people who are looking for your mom on Facebook
are also the crazy people.
Like, we live on the internet.
We are job is to be on the internet.
Yeah, sucks.
It really does.
I mean, it's not very nice.
No, it's not nice.
But I mean, I have pretty thick skin,
but it's definitely callous now.
Yeah, yeah.
There was a video of somebody that was like
looking on their computer for your mom,
trying to find your mom. That's a crazy moment. Yeah, way crazier. of somebody that was like looking on their computer for your mom trying to find your mom
That's a crazier moment. Yeah, way crazier. Way crazier. Yeah, way way crazier
But um, well, hey, Hank actually was telling us that before it was his point we wanted to like
My name didn't get released for so long, which people are like I don't understand like why are people
You know like I said Dallas news TV like they they put they put me on, or they put my clip on.
And so then I have all these people texting me
because I've already deactivated social media.
So I have all these people texting me and they're like,
oh my God, this is your doping ganger,
this is you, blah, blah, blah.
And I was like, oh, yeah, cool.
It looks well like me.
I'm just put on this Disney cruise.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Literally just played it off in Britain.
I was like, yeah, cool.
Never responded to anyone.
Yeah, and then.
Like my real friends, like my really close friends
were like, oh, we could tell by your manner as I thought.
Yeah, yeah.
And then you posted the apology video,
which I think was really well done.
And then.
I was confusing to a lot of people.
It's confusing because we want to know what you saw.
That was the whole thing.
You didn't see anything.
You know what, at deep down inside me,
I thought that you, I that you saw something cool.
Yeah, it was so cool.
I wish I did.
I mean, who knows?
I should have.
Yeah.
No, I had multiple people telling me
what I shouldn't shouldn't do.
You have voices coming at every angle.
And it's like, you got to clear the noise, which I tried.
And it was like, OK, who am I, you know,
who am I, what do I really want?
I want to disappear.
Yeah.
And I tried.
And then the Travis Chapman painting came out
of all the not-reels.
Yeah, yeah.
So then it's like, cool, it goes viral again.
Yeah.
Then it chills for a little bit.
Then my name gets released, it goes viral again.
Yeah.
So it's like, everyone thinks like, oh my God, I'm seeing this girl again.
Like I didn't want that at all.
It just got pushed up.
No, I didn't know what that is.
And the internet will get rid of anything
if you give it long enough.
Yeah, so it's like,
I think talking about it also helps.
And like we're trying to conceal something
that people search harder,
but if you're saying this is what happens.
Yeah, it wasn't trying to conceal anything per se,
but like I just, I'm not an athlete, I'm not a celebrity,
I'm not any of those things.
So I didn't know I needed to make a statement.
I didn't know I needed to do these things.
Like, yes, I'm in marketing,
but I'm not in crisis management, I'm not in PR.
Like, I did what I thought was right.
And then it got a lot of backlash. I just, I think no matter what I do,
it's probably not gonna be right.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I could tell you one thing that you did wrong.
Just say in the listen, this is all due respect.
You took that picture of you in your kitchen
when you,
Oh, the feet.
You put your feet out there.
You shouldn't have put your feet out there.
You know, I didn't really know that-
The fucking horny guys were like,
I know.
You gave them away for free.
No shit.
I should be making money on that.
I know.
I should have learned them out.
I know.
If you want us to track those guys down, Hank will.
He'll fucking play them.
I mean, I feel like I should get compensated for something.
Well, that's why you don't give them away for free.
I didn't know that was a thing.
Yeah.
Unfortunately it is.
Who likes feet?
I think I just have to ask you.
A lot of guys, a lot of weirdos.
Not Hank, but there's a lot of weird guys out there.
We actually have a feet guy here.
You can meet him face to face to be like one.
I mean, I'll show him my top.
No, no, no.
He probably already knows it.
Yeah, he's really zoomed in.
Yeah, he hidden.
Well, actually blur out your boots that you wear right now.
We don't want you to give this away at all.
Did you know, when you release that photo,
were you like a 10 minutes later like shit?
Everyone's on my phone.
No, I know, I know, clue.
And then everyone's like, oh, you're AI, you're AI,
and I was like, what?
Wait, I mean, clearly you can tell I'm not.
Yeah, you're not AI.
But you're real.
I'm not a robot.
You are fucking real.
Thank you.
Actually, can we just get you say like,
the Miami Dolphins are not fucking real? Can you say that?
It's not true in the high pitch voice.
No, no, you know, no, no.
No, no, no.
No voice is good.
Oh, I'm like, please don't make me bring that back.
No, no, no.
It's so bad.
You're normal voices out standing.
Thank you.
Yeah, good voice.
Thank you.
It's much better than the mini-mouse.
Like everyone thought I was mini-mouse for the longest time.
Yeah.
What am I saying now?
The Miami Dolphin are not fucking real.
The Miami Dolphins are not fucking real.
Ooh, I like it.
I like it.
I like it.
You're going to get mad at us for that. Yeah, they won't.
They better get mad at us for that. Yeah, what am I saying now? My Emmy dolphins are not fucking real. My the my Emmy dolphins are not fucking real. Oh, I like it.
I like it.
I'm going to get mad at us for that.
Yeah, they wanted you.
They better get mad at you.
They're going to be happy.
I don't need any more people mad at me.
No one's going to get mad at you.
Please don't.
Yeah, so we shouldn't be mad at you.
They should.
It's crazy.
Again, it's like a worse moment.
It happened to be caught on film.
Did nothing bad.
And then I resonated because you're an attractive woman.
And there's a lot of horny weirdos online.
Yeah.
And so we keep going back to it.
But yeah, when you were dealing with the aftermath of this,
you do work in marketing.
Did that affect your business life?
Did that affect you?
Thank God I wore a self.
Okay, good.
I saw some, oh, she got fired.
Oh, thank you for letting me know.
I fired myself. That's great.
You should have fired yourself.
That would have been a good PR move.
Oh, yeah. We have let Tiffany go. Yeah, yeah
And then you quietly rehire
But so crazy is everyone things like on this marketing genius, which is
Highly entertaining, but I actually do real estate investments like prime
That's like my primary source of income right now. Okay legit. I literally don't. I've done marketing my whole career,
promotional and e-commerce, but primarily now just real estate.
That's sick. Hank owns his own condo that looks overlooks Lake Michigan.
Nice. It's very sick. It's got like a panoramic view really sick. I think it's on like one of
the highest floors in the building. Yeah. It's so sick. It's got like a panoramic view really sick. I think it's only like one of the highest floors in the building.
Yeah, it's so dope.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Yeah.
I told you, six, six, one, six feet.
Yeah.
Six, one, yeah.
Six, one, six, one.
Thanks.
I told the whole world, that was five, two, 120 pounds.
But it might be like 125, 28 right now.
That's fine.
We're not counting.
I've never lied about my weight.
I haven't lied about, never lied about my height.
We're just all, we're height. We're just normal.
I told you, how tall is it, man?
How tall do you think I am?
Mm, careful.
Be very careful.
Be very careful.
You could actually, this whole interview could turn on this.
I can.
Oh, that was not easy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, that's fine.
I was worried you were gonna say, five, nine, and short change.
How much do you think I weigh?
This isn't fair.
I mean, I'm broke at her.
Don't, Hank, Hank, I broke it hurt.
Don't, Hank's, Hank, I'm gonna stop saying nice shit about you.
No, Hank's been funny.
But he is funny.
He's Hank's so fucking funny.
I don't know.
This is really bad.
I don't know what he's saying.
I don't know what he's saying.
I don't know what he's saying.
I don't know what he's saying.
I don't know what he's saying.
I don't know what he's saying.
I don't know what he's saying.
I don't know what he's saying.
I don't know what he's saying.
I don't know what he's saying.
I don't know what he's saying.
I don't know what he's saying. I don't know what he's saying. I don't know what he's saying. I don't know what he's number. It won't hurt my feelings 205 oh my god. That was incredible. That's it. Look at so much fatter than that. Look at us
That's great 205 and 510 love it. I love it. We're fucking
Just killing him right now, especially Hank. I wish we could be half this Hank is yeah
What's the weirdest celebrity that's hollered at you?
Weirdest like best both. Yeah
I mean Connor McGregor reached out.
Okay, yeah, I saw he lights 20 or two next today.
No, he like, say he's a great guy.
Like he went and trying to get my pants in,
or no, no, he's just saying what up?
No, he wanted to know what I saw.
Oh, okay.
I literally wanted to know it.
I saw it.
But regardless,
Honore McGregor follows me.
Like, what the hell?
That's pretty cool.
Yeah, that is very cool.
Kind of wild.
Have you got any weird DMs from people?
A dumb question.
The weirdest.
I think we know that.
Yeah, I'd say so.
Has there been a guy named Jersey Jerry
that hit you up about your feet?
I don't.
OK, all right, we just want to make sure.
He works here, so I just wanted to say,
I wanted to make sure that he's there. There's certain things, like, I mean, I can't feel Okay, all right, we just want to make sure he works here. So I just wanted to say, I want to make sure that he's there.
There's certain things like, I mean, I can't feel it at all.
Like, because it's kind of crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
And I actually have a full time job.
So I can't spend my whole time on social media.
Yeah, yeah.
No, that's fast.
Put her mask here and there.
And people are like, she posted, like, her page is all over the place.
It's the wildest shit.
No, I'm just like normal person.
Yeah, yeah. I do post like
Random ass shit. Yeah, you should just you should sprinkle in some like real estate
Investment opportunities in between the pictures that you put out. Yeah, let everyone know your hard working like Hank
Hank works harder than anyone here. Yeah, I have a few rentals. Have a office building love that
Yeah, I'll work sorry, but he also plays hard. Yeah, he's vacation's hard as well.
That's a good thing. Yeah, I work from wherever.
Yeah, right. Same thing. Yeah.
I'll try to like cook me over.
Thank you. No, no, what?
I don't know why they asked me to sit in this interview.
No, we just love hang. I know why they know listen.
So it's a catch. Hank's going to be going with us to the game this weekend.
So it's going to be Iowa Northwestern. Hank's a big Iowa with us to the game this weekend. So it's gonna be Iowa, Northwestern.
Hank's a big Iowa fan.
So I think I feel like we should all root for Iowa this weekend.
Yeah.
I don't feel like he is an Iowa fan.
Well, he's deciding his big 10 team.
Yeah, me and Tiffany are kind of.
We are in touch.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
you don't even need us here, Hank, we'll leave.
Yeah.
Uh, but I do need some Iowa gear,
because I don't have any.
Okay, we can get some. We can get some. Hank's got a guy for that. Yeah, he's got a guy for everything. He's like I do need some Iowa gear, because I don't have any. Okay, we can get some.
We can get some.
Thanks a guy for that.
Yeah, he's got a guy for Amazon.
He's like, yeah, Amazon.
Jeff Bezos is a guy.
Why did you decide to now start speaking out?
You know, at the end of the day,
like it's not necessarily going away.
I think it'd probably be a good two years
before it truly goes away.
And I'll be a meme for the rest of my life. I get it, I get it.
But at this point, it's funny.
Like it is funny.
It's not funny what the passengers had to go through at all.
But it, me and the outlander shit I said
was absolutely funny.
Right.
And I mean, what are you gonna do with it?
Like, it's a great attitude.
Like lean into it.
It is what it is I own it.
Like it's embarrassing. My very worst moment, Conor and camera. But I mean, it is what it is.
Honestly, like I said, we are lives are on the internet. We live on the internet every single
day. Like joking about it and being like, it's funny. We'll make it go away faster than
anything. Well, and like humor is what's got me through this whole thing. Like the first
four weeks were, I mean, first eight weeks really were brutal.
And like I said, there's not a playbook for it.
So it's like, how do you deal with it?
How do you survive it?
That's a different ballgame.
Media's mean.
Yeah, yeah.
And they don't post real facts.
Well, the tabloid bullshit.
Yeah, it seems like you've got a good support group, Brownie.
You got friends.
Like the best of friends.
Yeah.
Like, why did my name not get released?
Because my friends are loyal.
That's awesome.
That's like, they never mind me a hank.
Yeah.
Oh, fucking best friend.
We were thinking about like after it happened.
It was weird how long it took for your name to get there.
And I didn't put two and two together.
But yeah, you obviously have like an iron cloud. Yeah. Yeah. And even to this day like they won't speak on it.
Love it. And all my friends like you know there's everybody else like what'd you see?
Would you see not one of my friends at that? Every single one of my friends is like how
are you? Yeah that's awesome. And it's just I have bad people in my corner. That's really cool.
That does remind me of Hank.
So when you flew up here, you obviously
traveled a lot, right?
So you get around a lot.
Do you have to now go in disguise on a plane
or have you ever fucked with people and you wear the old outfit
and you step on it?
No, so it was funny.
It's everyone thought I wore the same exact outfit.
Like when TMZ did their thing, no, I was not in the same exact outfit. Like when TMZ did their thing,
no, I was not in the same exact outfit, actually. I had a brown tank top on.
My wardrobe is basically black and brown.
Guys are in good with details.
No.
But what they didn't see is I had some big old
baggy cargo pants on.
Yeah.
I had some tight jeans and I sure as hell
went and shown my midriff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Guys are dumb.
We think when we see a woman on camera one time,
we think they're like a cartoon character. They wear the same outfit every time we see them
So wait you're wearing a green. Yeah, but I had a 6 a.m. flight
So they're like our hair is pulled back. Well, yeah, it was wet. It was soaking wet right there like but it's darker
Now it's wet right yeah, right literally again guys don't really understand any of this team to just find you
Like were you expecting them or were you just like,
why the fuck are these people?
I think they chill out at the airport.
It's not, I mean, it's LAX.
Like, yeah.
And that wasn't my first flight.
I'd been on multiple others before that.
That's more mitigating circumstances.
We've all been there trying to make connecting flights.
And then you know, I wasn't connecting there.
That was a different trip.
Like, I had already been to Sedona Belize and then LA.
Like, okay, so you can fly.
I can fly.
You can fly.
How about this?
Yeah, how many flights have you taken successfully?
Probably 16, in my whole life.
And your whole life.
Oh my God, I can't even count.
At least like two a month for my whole adult years.
Okay, so do I say like 500 flights?
At least. And you've had one bad flight. Yeah, so you wanna say like 500 flights? At least, yes.
And you've had one bad flight.
Yeah, why don't we talk about the 499?
That's an incredible run that you've been on.
Yeah, you know, like,
you should reframe it, like 99.98% of flights
that you've been on have been completely successful.
Yeah.
I mean, when you look at it like that.
It's fast.
It's not too bad.
It's fast.
All right, well, there's been awesome Tiffany.
Appreciate you coming in.
Yeah, thanks for having me.
You're going to watch some football with us tonight, right?
I hope so.
Do you want to guess our lottery ball machine?
No one's gotten it yet.
This is a new one.
So we, so backstory is I bought a lottery ball machine
from China like three years ago.
Does it work?
At the end of every show, yeah.
At the end of every show, we all guess.
We all got it.
Hank got it like a shit load of times.
We all got it a ton of like a shit load of times we all
got it a ton of times but now we have a new machine no one has ever gotten
this one. Now nervous. Now let's even come close. No one's even come close.
So I just guess and all hands come close because he's really good. Hank basically.
How many do I just guess one number? One number. Hank pretty much that would be in
all-time moment if you got it. No. Go ahead. 24.
Okay.
Let's go.
Man, we're just.
And don't be upset because this is kind of like the flights.
There's many, we've done this hundreds of times
where we don't get it.
Mm-hmm.
Ah, 91.
I love it.
91.
Oh, like who would guess 91?
Yeah, I know.
This is stupid, yeah.
This is stupid machine. Like, there should only be a bit Yeah, I know. That's a stupid guess.
It's a stupid machine.
Like, there should only be a person.
I'm telling you that.
I don't want this thing.
It's part of the show.
Let's just get rid of it.
Yeah, that's horrible.

He did the theme song for BBT mm-hmm. M and PFT
Collabbed came up with a new song for the YouTube intro.
So watch the YouTube and listen.
I honestly think it's stuck in your head.
Yeah, it's very, very catchy.
Job did a great job.
We didn't know what to expect.
We just sent him the lyrics and then he sent them back to us and it was a great job job.
Knocked out of the park.
My second fire fest is that this podcast, when when it started one of our big themes was kind of
roasting dude perfect and then a few years ago we did a documentary review and you guys kind of came around on them
and I stuck on the like, dude, perfect, or losers, their lame train and now we're due.
I like the purple.
Now we're due.
Now we're due.
I'm in the office.
Now we're due.
Uh, with the, with the.
Cody and Cody and we were smart to switch everything got
inspected and I've kind of been going around today like playing around being like I'm just
gonna do trick shots all day.
I'm you are perfect.
I'm going to be dude perfect and I spent the last 10 years shooting on the butt now that
I see it.
It's in front of me and I'm able to do it myself.
It's like yeah, no, here it is.
Why not just do some trick shots? Trick shots are fun.
Trick shots are cool.
Here's the spin zone.
We're dude perfect, but we fail all the time.
Exclusively.
Yeah, here's a promise.
We will always edit out the shots that we make.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you now have to say that you were wrong.
I, did I know?
Just firefests.
That's not what you said.
I just came clean. You just said you guys came said. I just came clean. You just said you
said you guys came and then I realized there's trick shots. You didn't say I Henry Lockwood was wrong.
I Henry Lockwood was wrong and that dude perfect. No, clip that exactly how it was. I want that clip
for social life forever and I will keep that. Thank you memes. Make sure I have that. Don't let in the part of the dude perfect.
I already asked memes.
I said, I need to get a compilation of the compliments from the Tiffany interview.
So I can have that.
No, no.
No, that never happened.
That never happened.
No, they never have.
I thought we did a pretty normal interview.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't remember compliments.
Did it work?
No, I mean, we're chilling.
You have to podcast it. Yeah, it hangs like, no, I didn't we're chilling. You have to podcast it.
It looks like no, I didn't leave you guys.
Yeah.
No, it's midnight, we're podcasting.
Yeah, can I gas you up?
No, dude, I'm sitting here eating pizza with you.
On a Thursday night.
Midnight.
It's about the friends who made it along the way.
Yeah, that's fast.
It was all a bit, we don't mean any of it.
But I will be, yeah, like, I'm gonna be doing
dude perfect type shit and posting it and people are gonna be like,
you're a fucking sellout loser, dude perfect.
Not us, because PFT and I, and I'm gonna be like, yeah,
it is what it is.
I'm a purple loser guy up and down.
It's fun like when you have, you know, when you got a basketball
court, you got like a beam, you want to, like, let me see if I can
throw this ball off a wall and into the hoop.
Mm-hmm.
It is, yeah, dude.
It's fun.
Yeah.
You get millions and millions and billions of views. Yeah, dude. It's fun. Yeah. We had millions and millions and billions of views.
No, dude, perfect.
YouTube stresses me out.
I've been watching this show called Vlad Nicky.

You just got to have the bloopy voice.
You can do a tour of the office and be like in the bloopy voice like
Wow look at this basketball. It's orange
Wow, that's a great pass big cat and you and all the hoops are 10 feet tall and now I'm playing basketball since James
They Smith came around in a beach basket now look at this. It's a small white ball. Not like a big orange basketball

That's it. Yeah, it's fucking it's a billionaire. Yeah
Yeah, we're gonna be doing this stuff officer field drops Monday

And we'll go mega viral.
Hey, kids, guess a number.
Oh, you got it before, Hank.

Why does Billy always guess that?
It's guys when Mommy and Daddy love each other very much.
They put their mouths on each other's privates.
When Mommy puts herates when mommy puts her
But daddy puts her D and mommy's M
And we're still waiting for that Taylor Swift video. You think we're ever gonna see your milkers

Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, listen
I'll I'll I'll do anything. I'll do anything for million dollars for clicks and we just subtly put in part in my take stuff
Mm-hmm, and we just get all these young listeners
I'm in all right the chargers are frauds
They'll never win a big game
When daddy gets mad it's because he lost his 16 team parlay. Oh yeah we should
do betting series. Daddy really need to update y'all to discord touchdown. What is all
around her mean? Well he'll root for the point. Alright. PFT your fire fest. My fire
fest is we were playing basketball out on the court. This was in between the Miss Gomez
interview and the live stream. We were playing some three on three out there and
It was myself max memes who's sneaky good at basketball. You never know it from how you run around. You go to everything except being nice to people
He is very bad at that. That one. He sucks. He's great at being mean to people
And Shane was playing Evan was playing pug. Yep
and Shane was playing, Evan was playing Pug. Yup, Pug, Pug, Pug, Pug.
Or YouTube guy, Evan was playing,
there was a loose ball, a scramble in suit for it,
and Pug is built like a fire hydrant.
He's Pug.
He's Pug, yeah, he's Pug.
And I was going for it, he was going for it.
He put his shoulder, as my hands were up in the air,
he put his shoulder like right into my ribs,
and I instantly heard and felt something pop when he did it.
Oh no. And now it hurts to breathe, it hurts to move,
it hurts to laugh, it hurts to do anything,
hurts to sit, hurts to stand up.
I have broken ribs before, I don't know if this is a broken rib
or if it's like displaced cartilage,
but he fucks something up inside my chest
and it hurts real bad and it's day one of playing basketball
on a court and of course somebody injuries. Somebody has day one of playing basketball on our court. Yeah, and of course, somebody has to get
nicked up a little bit.
Yeah.
And then, I told, yeah, I mean,
someone was gonna get hurt first.
And yeah, I told Clinton Portis about it.
He was like, I can rearrange your ribs.
And I was like, I don't think that sounds.
Yeah, and I was like, I don't think
I can rearrange your guts.
I was like, I don't think that's a thing
that you can do.
He's like, no, seriously, just like lay down on the ground.
So I lay down on my chest and then he just put his arms
on the upper back and just push down
and just fucked me up and I think he fucked me up worse.
Of course.
The sound that you made, I was in the kitchen.
It hurt so bad.
It hurt so bad.
Like someone died.
Like I had to run in.
I'm an actual pain.
It was like a run in what's that scream sound.
Not like a...
I'm in pain right now and with Clinton Clinton Portis, who is a big dude, pressing down that,
he rearranged my ribs for sure.
Yeah.
And not in a good way.
No.
So yeah, my fire fest is that I have a rib injury from pug playing
three on three basketball.
Happens, happens.
Yep.
Okay, my fire fest is so I'm a little bit of a creature of a
habit. Tuesday night I went to sleep not early but whatever. Regular time after
maxion everything Wednesday I woke up and I have this one podcast that I
love to listen to every Wednesday morning. It's called part of my take and I
went to my phone to see if it was up. It comes out on Wednesday. It comes out on
Wednesdays every Monday Wednesday Friday for seven plus years.
And I went to look for it and it wasn't there.
What happened?
Nothing, I actually just not do an episode.
This is Ghost Big Cat, I killed myself on spot.
Oh, yeah, no, yeah, I was so confusing.
It's a class, that's a listener.
These guys literally do the show every single Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, they've been the most consistent part
of my life.
Every single morning, they're in my phone. They're there for me. It's the trust relationship that's
been built up years over years over years. I know they're working late just so that they can record
a show and I can wake up and listen to it. And then everything changed. It wasn't there.
That's right. And my trust is completely gone.
And I don't know if I'll ever listen to it again.
That's a really bad thing that happened to you.
It's like fire fest of the century.
Yeah. Why do you think they didn't get it up?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Because my understanding is,
if you're publishing a podcast,
you edit the show and then the show's done.
And then you have a button that you press to upload the show
To the world, but what happens if you forget to press a button?
Well, I guess the show wouldn't go up then. Yes, so maybe someone was broken. Yeah, yeah, maybe there's an emergency
I hope not well, okay, you know what? So these guys that I listen to call part of my take they do
Put in a lot of hours and they sometimes record really, really late.
So it could have been a situation
where the producers, it was like so late
that the podcast didn't come out until later.
So yeah, they could have been just recorded
really late that.
I've heard of that podcast part of my take
and one thing that's great about,
because like, you know, they've got like some funny guys
that are like always around jumping in
when their teams are good or bad sometimes, but they never forget what their job is and that's to
press the button. Are you sure we're talking about this?
Can we just do it? Can we just get to this?
This has been the longest intro in the history of fucking intros.
Max, we'll wait for your fire fest, bro.
Yeah, I'm doing mine. Okay. So yeah, they must have, they must have recorded late,
but then I saw one of the guys pick hats
that they recorded at 4 p.m.
So that's like, how long does it take to take?
That's like eight hours to press the button.
I sometimes it can take 12 hours to press the button.
Yeah, so I, I still don't know what happened.
I don't have an answer for it,
and I'm, I'm never gonna listen to him again
Probably listen to like Bill Simmons or you know, Pat McAfee one of the all takes those one day of not being there for the people
Then maybe they became daddy gang. Yeah father Cooper got a couple new followers. All right, that's our show
Max Yeah, it was a good show
So is it gonna go out your fire fest, Max?
I was the one who did not.
What?
Publish button.
You have your favorite podcast.
Yeah.
How could you?
You the guy that everyone loves?
No.
No.
So what happened, Max?
Well, to be fair to Max, when he was
planning ahead, he probably thought the Phillies were going to be
in the world series. So he didn't have it scheduled to, like,
we're probably clinch, we're probably sweep. Yeah, yeah, we
finished the show early. I finished, I finished doing my work
early for people who don't know, there's a whole process of putting
in the back end, you got to, I know, I know, I know, I, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, after it's in the back end, you gotta reach around and just press the button. No, I did.
You gotta make sure you gotta pull it out of the back end too.
I don't know what happened.
Don't go into the front end after it's in the back end though.
I get infection.
I just, I did every step.
Well no, no, no, no.
Except the most important step.
For the step that lets everybody listen to the show.
And what I normally do, I normally do it,
right late at night, and I put it out,
and then it takes, like once you press publish,
it takes like probably 15, 20 minutes
before it actually gets out to the platforms.
So normally what I do is I press publish and then I keep
and then I keep looking and I keep keep refreshing keep refreshing and then I look on
I look on Apple I'm like all right it's up I'll do the tweet now from the main account
being all right podcast is live finish the show early didn't didn't do the whole refresh
thing because I wait no you never hit the button.
No, yeah.
This is really sad.
Yeah, no, like that's...
But you didn't tweet, but you didn't tweet it out.
But you didn't tweet because I freaked the button.
So I forgot to do the tweet.
So it was one of those things where I went to bed.
Wait, no, no, you forgot to press the button.
Well, I forgot to press the button.
I thought I pressed the button, but I went to bed. And it was one of those things where it's like... Half of it. I was to bed. Wait, no, no, you forgot to press the button. Well, I forgot to press the button. I thought I pressed the button, but I went to bed
and it was one of those things where it's like,
I was not bad.
I was falling asleep and then I was like,
Oh, fuck, I forgot to do the tweet.
Okay, so this is,
I mean, is not the most important part of the tweet?
No, the most important part.
I said I forgot to do the most important part,
not the tweet.
Like, not the,
Wait, you woke up and you're like,
Damn, I forgot to tweet it
No, I didn't wake up. I was like in bed and then I thought to myself
I was like oh fuck I forgot I forgot to tweet it, but never was like
But then I did it I didn't what I normally do is check to make sure it's up
I it was so long. I just I just didn't and I and I that was like the first time that I haven't checked to make sure
It wasn't on Apple and the first time that I've ever thought that I pressed publish and didn't press publish
How so is a double whammy of first times I've ever done that and
Can you because you can walk me through the next morning? Can you walk me through like yeah?
Yeah, how to feel next morning?
Super bad. What's up? Did you wake up to an alarm?
I woke up to an alarm.
Because I was 8.30.
So that was already two hours after we had,
because I woke up at 6.30 and saw that it wasn't up.
Wrong.
You called me at 6.58.
Yeah.
So I woke up at 6.30, saw that it wasn't up.
When brushed my teeth was like
Oh, maybe it's still loading or I'm missing it or something and then I realized no this is a problem. Yep called you
No pickup no pickup called memes memes memes the king. What would we have done?
It would have just gone up an hour later
It was yeah, that's why it's player of the week. Memes is player of the week.
I saw the call.
I was like, oh fuck.
But it had to have felt like a little bit good
that it was my fuck up and not yours.
It was just, yeah.
Memes shot me.
What do you mean it's not on?
And then he looked at you, he goes,
oh yeah, he'd impress the button.
Yeah.
Like Memes went on, saw in the back end
that everything else that needed to be done was done
I just ate just the button should we get the button
Should we get access to the button in case this happens again you have access to the button. I can hit the button
I can hit the button. Yeah, I think you have a little chance
Okay, you could give me an hour. I like I would never be able to figure out where the button. No, no, no
You can't hypothetically you could I could figure out how to get the button.
Do you need this on?
Should there be a button?
Would be able to be.
For the button?
In theory.
No, there's too much.
This will never happen.
Oh, the chances.
This will never happen again.
This will never happen again.
Wait, you were about to say the chances of it happening again.
The chances that it happened once was like a fucking
high, not high.
Well, yeah, it happened.
But that doesn't mean that going into it
that the chances were high.
It mean it was better than 1%.
How many of these, how long you've been,
how many episodes?
70?
No. Less than 1%.
Well, you've done 70 episodes.
52 weeks in a year.
Like at least over a year,
over a three episodes a week.
Yeah. Less than 1%. So how many have you done? He's probably done a two-year. He's been here in a year over a year three episodes a week. Yeah, less than 1%.
So how many have you done?
He's probably done two hundred.
He's probably done a half,
two hundred ten times.
Yeah, so half,
oh yeah, half a percent.
Oh yeah, half a percent.
Oh yeah, half a percent.
Oh yeah, half a percent.
It's more than zero.
No, I didn't say zero.
I said it was low, low percentage.
All right, so what are we gonna do to make sure
this never happens again?
I like, I have a system so that this shouldn't happen like I have the system broke
No, the system broke, but the system is not break again like what happens if it does they said in Chernobyl
Yeah, my system is that I check before I do that. I don't know why I'll never tweet the tweet without seeing
Seeing it's up on on Apple
Spotify. I think I think I don't think I don't think that's the system works. No, that is how the system works.
We need a process, but I did not. Is the process and the system. I broke my system.
But that is my system. Yeah. And that. So you the system is not going to fail, but you might
fail your system. I found a flaw on the system.
Like it's crazy that all the, like I have never posted,
done the tweet without making sure it's up on Apple.
And I've never, not posted the show thinking that I posted.
I've never, never murdered a person.
It was just one time.
Yeah, like, am I a murderer?
On 99.9% of the nights, OJ Simpson went to sleep.
He did not commit. Correct.
You don't know that. That's not true. He wants to jail for something else. Yeah, 99.9.
He's been on earth. He went to jail for stealing his whole memorabilia. Yeah, that's not
really his high is that not. Did he go to jail for it? He's emancipating his highs. Did he go
jail for it? Crime. Yeah, but that's that's still 99.9%
whole other. I have a fact for fiction from Max.
Um, fact for fiction Max, when you had a soul patch,
you actually were a thousand percent.
You were, you did not miss hitting the button ever.
That's a fact.
Cause I think I found the flaw in the system.
He literally would maybe quit before he gets the soul.
You never, you never miss publishing the podcast.
When you have soul.
Okay, all right.
Here's, here's a fair deal.
Ready?
Max, if this ever happens again,
you have to have a soul patch for two straight years.
That is a great carrot right in front of you. And you can't quit. You can't
quit. I you can't quit. I if you forget to hit the button ever again, it's sold patch
for two straight years. Question. Yes. Sometimes there's problems with the back end. I
can't understand that. Yes. Yes. Yes. If there's questions with the backend I don't understand that yes, yes, there's questions with the back and you'd be like hey guys is quite there's
You'll let us know like yeah, you'd let us know like hey, it's not there's the publishing guy
We know what normal like sometimes. Oh like Amazon music or Google Play doesn't have it. We get that
This was just very clearly the button wasn't pushed if you don't push the button
It's sold patch for two years If you don't push the button, it's soul patch for two years, and you can't
quit. I don't, this isn't really a new. Yeah, no, we deal. We could also give him a deal,
which is a soul patch until a Philadelphia team wins a four major sport. So you can,
it could be way shorter than two years. No, because I want to give him, I want to,
I want to make sure I don't really want to punish Max.
Max does a great job.
I don't, wait, yeah.
I don't want to punish Max severely right now.
I want to put in an extra system on top of his system
that incentivizes him to never break his original system.
We're talking about Max 2.0.
The Max 2.0, if we hit that point,
Max 1.0 will cease to exist. So Max 1.0 has to make sure that max 1.0 stays alive by hitting the goddamn button
Deal. Yeah, I think that's fair
Like there's no way Max will not hit the button if he has to have a soul patch for two years
Any kid quit. That is a very part a big part of the stipulation
I think actually with the soul patch for two years, you might try to quit.
I wouldn't let you.
I wouldn't let you.
He also, he have to shave it like every day.
He also could.
You have to keep it clean, shave it every day.
Could quit though.
No, he can't quit.
He legally can't.
What happens if he's a court?
I just said he can't quit.
We'll offer him so much money
that he'd be an insane person to quit.
Would it be worth like, Max, if we paid you like five hundred thousand dollars a year,
but you have to have a soul patch. Would you do it?
Oh, maybe we can just get the soul patch for just some cash.
I don't know. I think it sounds like to me. Max, I think it is fair.
Yeah, no, this is fair. This is fair.
I what I tell you when you texted me you were very well.
It won't happen again. I said, I said, I understand.
And like obviously this part of it is like, it happened.
Part of the reason why like, it's okay is,
or it's not okay, but us giving you shit
means that you're not actually in trouble.
If it, and I said to you right away on Wednesday morning,
I was like, it's okay, if it ever happens again,
it's a problem.
Yeah, not.
Because I think that is fair.
Like one mistake, everyone gets a mistake. Mm-hmm. If it ever happens again, then we have soul patch city
Yes, and now I'm rooting for it to never get pushed
I would be willing to trade one episode worth of downloads for max with a soul patch for two years
I am now like, this is the happiest day of my life if I wake up
and they're like, where's the podcast?
It is this exact situation.
Yeah, no, you guys, it's not pushing the button.
Not not pushing the, not pushing the,
not pushing the published button.
Correct.
Okay.
And I also would like to see,
you can't wake up with no like,
the podcast is in there and you haven't alerted us as to why.
Right, yeah.
I also, I also do want to do one of Big Tone's ideas.
I think next week, I don't know what the schedule is,
but I would like a Celtics Minute from you.
That's fun.
On every episode next week.
Like that.
Talking about.
On every episode of the next week.
But you have to talk about how good they are.
Yeah, you have to say how good they are.
So how good they are.
Trust me.
I can get in the Celtics.
Yeah, that's true.
We see Celtics mode. I actually love that character
viewers. All right, I think it's fair. Yeah, you're not in trouble, but big troubles on the horizon.
No, yeah, that would that had that yes, yes, I mean it'll never happen again, so it's not a problem.
But if it did, but if it did, that would that would ruin that would ruin my life. My girlfriend would probably break up with me.
My family wouldn't want, I wouldn't get invited
any weddings, I wouldn't be any wedding pictures.
That would ruin, I mean that would legitimately.
It would go into it.
I think I would go into it to like a depression.
Like I would, no pictures would be taken of you ever.
It would make us laugh.
The one thing that it might do would it would probably force me into
Six shape. Yeah, yeah, I would probably not no no no it would if I
It would because that the soul patch isn't the the biggest it is your it's your name
You may as well be a clean shaving face. It's it's the yeah
All right, so hopefully we never get to that point.
And I'm sorry to all the listeners that maxed in person.
I'm gonna say sorry to my friend Brian Max.
I'm sorry Brian.
Sorry.
You know what it is, honey, man?
I woke up, like I have,
like I just started calling memes and just like talking,
and I called him twice and I was just like,
I just need you to talk to me.
Why, did you think that the hammer
was gonna come down harder? Well, it wasn't even that. Like even when I got just like, I just need you to talk to me. Why, did you think that the hammer was gonna come down harder?
Well, it wasn't even that.
Like, even when I got your response,
I knew that it was more so, like, I just,
I don't like fucking up.
Yeah, no, I know, that's why I did not,
if you were a guy who like fucks up all the time
and fuck up, fuck ups were part of your like, M.O.,
I would treat it very differently, you're not.
You actually are very, very, I trust you so much
and now we just have a soul patch just looming
over our heads at all time.
It's got a press button.
He called me, I was at the gym and...
Oh, surprise.
That's nice, that's nice.
I think we just sat on top.
The first thing memes is sat in the whole week.
I was at the gym.
And we just sat in silence for like first thing memes is sat in all week. I was at the gym.
And we just sat in silence for like two minutes.
Memes.
Yes.
I want to see you real quick.
Stand up.
OK.
If the button doesn't get pressed, you
have to shave your head for a year.
OK.
So now you guys are in it together.
All right.
You're in it together.
Memes, was there like a small part of you that was like, yeah, max fucked up?
Nope, because I was dealing with the problem at...
So, you were saving the day.
Some people were saving, like...
Some people were saying memes might have drugged max
because the YouTube views probably went crazy
because the YouTube was up.
Sabotage the button.
It was up, but like my neighbors know all your names now.
I was motherfucking everybody.
Yeah, no, I deserve that.
Shout out memes.
Yeah, shout out memes.
Player of the week.
Player of the week.
Yeah, shout out me for being up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Shout out you.
Shout out you.
For being up.
For being up.
But yeah, okay, I think this is a fair way to deal with it. No, no meeting media
media punishment. I'm sorry. Everyone gets one fuck up. I'm not a
well, no, this is this is the protocol is better this way when
you have a buddy system memes will not let this happen either.

Some job security.
Okay. Oh, me. No, me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
If the button doesn will get pushed.
We let everyone know.
The button will always get pushed from here on out.
Are you a little nervous for tonight?
No, tonight, I mean, you're gonna jam that button.
I mean, I, who know?
It's I'd be a little nervous forever.
Forever is a long time.
Whatever.
What if someone knocks you out with a frying pan?
Like, yeah, what if there's a like,
while E. Coyote comes and just knocks you out with a fright?
What if there's like a,
what if I get into like a car accident or something?
Well, we can talk about that.
You should actually maybe get like a button in your,
in like a life alert.
I'm thinking that's the podcast button.
So if you like are about to die,
you can still publish the podcast.
Or if I woke up and realized that it wasn't published,
just go get into a car accident.
All right.
What if you, in the middle of the night, you sleepwalk into the other room and you accidentally
unpress the button.
Unpush the button.
No, that's, that could have happened.
That could have happened.
You can unpush it.
No, I, you can't unpush it.
Is there a set to draft?
There's a second button.
No, you, you can publish it and then you can move it to drafts.
It was saved to drafts.
So I woke up.
So Hank, could I move it to drafts?
This, yeah.
I'm gonna just take a picture of every time.
Yeah, so that activity is trash, but.
I would not fuck with it.
I want the podcast out.
This is all just a, we have a system.
The podcast will be out.
I think that might be my new system.
I think I'm gonna take a video of myself
pressing the button every time.
Send Justin for, no, just, just,
just so you have the data.
Just so I have the data in case.
Okay, I like that, I like that.
All right, five years of soul patch.
Either way, we love you Max, it's one fuck up.

we were gonna bust your balls, cause that means that it's not any real fuck up don't beat yourself up. You know, you know, we and you knew that we were gonna we were gonna bust your balls
