Today is Wednesday, September 21st, and I don't want to overreact PFT, but the Bills and Eagles are playing in the Super Bowl. I like the Bills. I do kind of like the Eagles, but I

don't know how much to put in the Eagles being the Eagles versus Kirk Cousins being Kirk Cousins, because I was fooled. Don't start with that. I was fooled. I was fooled last night, and I've been fooled by Kirk Cousins for the last time, for the last time. That was the last time that he's going

to fool me for the last time last night. I was just happy that we saw that, Kirk Cousins, because people, Kirk Cousins defenders, are getting a little uppity after week one. And let's just say, one of those interceptions was, like, he had three picks. One was not his fault. That was Justin Jefferson.

Drake had actually perfectly pointed out, like, that's the biggest no-no right there a wide receiver ever did. And then the last one was the end of the game, where he just threw it up. So what about the second one? The second one was bad. 100% was his fault.

The last one at the end of the game. I'm also going to put that last one on Kirk Cousins, because he tried to throw that interception three times. And then it didn't work out the first two times. He said, fuck this. I'm going to give this ball to Slay, because Slay deserves the game ball. And then he found him at the very end of it.

It's so frustrating, right? Jake, can you please remind us, on a weekly basis, do not believe in Kirk Cousins. Don't believe his lies. Yeah, because it was the perfect Kirk Cousins game, where we said it a million times. When things are going well and the past protection is there, and Kirk Cousins has his time and things don't get off script,

he can look great. And then when the rush is there, and he's check down after check down and panicking, he's Kirk Cousins. He's Kirk Cousins. That's all you've got to say. That said, Jalen Hertz is fucking awesome. Awesome. Jalen Hertz is really good.

And I love how every time he plays, they show the video of him squatting like 700 pounds in college. And then you have to go back and you remember the path that Jalen Hertz took to get to the NFL. Jalen Hertz, even though I'm a Washington fan, I've had a rivalry in my own brain with Philadelphia, even though it's not reciprocated,

which is the saddest rivalry of all when you have one of those going. I'm conditioned to hate Eagles. I like Jalen Hertz. Jalen Hertz is like the most likable dude in the NFL. He's one of the, I mean, just the way he handled the whole Alabama thing shows that he's a great dude and a great teammate.

Like there's a lot of guys that would have handled it very differently. And remember, he came in that SEC championship game and like rescued Tua after Tua had done the same for him in the national championship game. I also want to say, people know, but I have a very substantial future on the Eagles Super Bowl. It's already paid off.

Cause I got to watch that Monday night football game being like, I'm so smart. And the price went down enough now where I could be like, sharp bet. Even if they don't even make the playoffs, I'm gonna be like, sharp bet. That was great. That's smart by me.

Went from 22 to one to like 14 to one. I'd like to go as far as to personally apologize to Tua for, or it's not to, excuse me, to Jalen Hurts. That was a little Freudian slip. It was a Freudian slip. Would you like to apologize to Tua? To Jalen Hurts, Mac Jones. I don't have anything to apologize to Tua about.

I'm a wait and see guy. Actually, what changed my mind about Tua was watching the reverse video where he's a righty. That made me realize, yeah, Tua's good. That was awesome. I watched that video. I don't know if you guys saw it, but there is a video out there that just reversed

the whole thing and Tua looks like a righty and it's like, oh, this guy's incredible. Yeah, college quarterbacks left-handed look sweet with the balls with the stripes on them. NFL quarterbacks who are left-handed look goofy. They look like witches. Yeah, they look goofy. It looks like witchcraft.

So now that I'm able to kind of separate that, I'm able to appreciate Tua, but as far as Jalen Hurts go, I'd like to apologize for our stadium almost killing him last year. And actually, that's probably when I knew that he's a good guy that I want to root for. Like the stadium fell down on him

and then he's helping out all the fans that just fell down, making sure that they're okay. And then signing autographs from him. Like, God damn, this guy's nice. And I love this Eagles team. They're fucking, they got guys everywhere. Dudes everywhere. I watched the games last night, right after,

put in a bet, Barclays Sports Board, plus 1850 Eagles Bills Super Bowl. Oh! Anything less is an abject failure. That is the most recency bias ever, and I love it, Hank, as a guy. No, they're both, they look unbelievable. I don't know how either of these teams

don't make the Super Bowl. Wow. Yeah. This is mean what you're doing now, to me and Philly. As a Philadelphia representative this year, that's fucked up what you just did. I'm supporting. Yeah, I know what you're doing.

Dreams of Nightmare. I think these are the two fan bases you've gone to war against the most. Yeah, I know exactly what you're doing. I will say this about the Bills fans. I, like, I kind of said, the Bengals were a similar story, but I just, at this point in my career, I've already seen Super Bowls,

I've had all my teams win championships, I've been through it all. I, when we're doing this podcast, watching all these games, I root for the teams with the good fan bases. Like, Los Angeles winning last year sucks. Tampa Bay winning hockey sucks. Like, I would rather, since we're watching these sports anyway,

I would rather the teams with the diehard fan bases that haven't won in a long time win the games. It's better, it's better for everything. So, the Bills winning, like, and I do love Buffalo, love going there, great people, great time, they love to party. Question. It would be an unbelievable run.

Question for you. The baseball playoffs coming up, teams that haven't won in a long time, and I haven't been in the playoffs in a long time, will you be rooting for the Seattle Mariners? They're not gonna make the playoffs. Yeah, they are. Are they?

Yeah. Yes, they are. We'll see. TBD. They have like the best record in the last two months. I mean, they'll get bounced in the wild card probably. Maybe outside the Dodgers. Dodgers just don't lose.

They probably won't even sell out their playoff games. What do you say, Billy? Super Bowls in Arizona? Super Bowls in Arizona. Could they handle that tailgate? The Bills versus Eagles? No, no, the world can't handle that. I think Amsterdam is probably the only place

that's equipped to handle that. They need to, they need to go to international waters for the Bills, Eagles, Super Bowl. Maybe the distance might prevent too much traveling. No, definitely not. For those two fan bases, that Bills, like there will be a study done. If the Bills make the Super Bowl,

there'll be a study like 20 years from now, like all these kids in Buffalo not being able to afford college because like their parents took out credit cards in their names to go to the Super Bowl. Or there will just be like a major increase in people from Buffalo that just stay in Arizona. Yeah, yeah.

They'll just never leave. They'll never leave. They'll just leave. They emptied their bank accounts to get to Arizona. But one way to take it. There also might be a lot of people that just, there should be an amnesty for people quitting their jobs in Buffalo.

It's like, yeah, you can quit your job for these two weeks. If you wanna go to the Super Bowl, enjoy it, and then come back, we'll pretend like it didn't happen. Schools will be closed down for two weeks in Buffalo if they make the Super Bowl. It was crazy watching those two games because they were basically mirror image of themselves where Josh Allen was out of this world,

Stefan Diggs out of this world, three touchdowns, like 140 yards or whatever it was. And you had Ryan Tannehill then throwing just, you know, terrible picks and looking like Ryan Tannehill. And then you flip over and it's Jalen Hertz having an insane first half and Kirk Cousins being Kirk Cousins. It was a complete whomping by the Eagles and the Bills.

I don't, I walked away from both being like, I don't think the Vikings and Titans are that bad. I just think the Eagles and Bills are that good. Yeah, especially the Bills. The Bills are a total juggernaut. The Bills are awesome. Ryan Tannehill is going back to being Ryan Tannehill. I'm sure that he'll have like a nice little six game stretch

this season where he makes me kind of reevaluate whether or not he's still Ryan Tannehill. But as of right now he is and their offense looks, they look a lot less dynamic without having AJ Brown out there. And I like Berks, but yeah, it's a very different and watching AJ Brown and this Eagles often, the Eagles just have like dudes,

it felt like no one covered anyone for the Vikings. Like the Vikings, just their game plan was like, let's let the Eagles just run free and hope it works. And it didn't work. Also, I want to, we have defended the city of Minnesota, or the state of Minnesota, the city of Minneapolis, and their sports hell that they've been in. But I have something that I have to push back on.

Minnesota, what the fuck are you doing not retiring Randy Moss's number? Oh yeah, number 84. Irv Smith dropping that ball that was a clear touchdown that could have changed the scope of the game and how it was being played. That's on you. The fact that you have someone,

a tight end wearing 84 Randy Moss's number, I don't want to say it Hank, but bad sports town. That's a bad sports town move to not retire one of the greatest wide receivers of all time. Probably if you've polled Vikings fans, Vikings fans favorite player of all time and you have fucking Irv Smith wearing it, dropping balls wide open touchdowns, that's crazy.

The following numbers have been retired by the Minnesota Vikings. Fran Targinton, number 10. Mick Tingelhoff, number 53. No, don't cry, great, he's a great player. Jim Marshall, number 70. You could forget Tingelhoff. Corey Stringer, okay, get it.

Chris Carter, number 80. And then Alan Page, 88. Chris John Randall? No, John Randall retired. What are you doing, Vikings? It's sad. Chris Carter, a head of Randy Moss, like I understand that Chris Carter was,

he was Mr. Viking, but Randy Moss is the greatest wide receiver of all time. I still like Jerry Rice, but yeah. No. Whatever, we, yeah. We disagree. Big goes forever, yeah. I go back and forth, I actually have said both.

I think we're, we have to say like Randy Moss is the most talented. Right. Jerry Rice is the best. Is the best. Yeah, then you get into those conversations. And I actually completely agree with that. But yeah, how do you not have it retired?

It is weird, it's very, very strange. And you have this, like that is just karma. That guy, Irv Smith was meant to drop that ball because you fucking have Randy Moss's number running down the sideline on a Monday night football. I actually just think that a guy named Irv, you never want to throw a pass to a guy named Irv. Yeah.

Bad vibes, slow vibes from Irv. So I don't know where, again, it is like knee jerk. I think the eagle or sorry, the bills knee jerk reaction is totally warranted that they are the best team in the NFL right now. They've looked unstoppable. And this actually goes back to their playoff run because again, that chief's game,

like that was their defense, not Josh Allen in the offense. He played perfect football. So I don't know how you, like, how do you, what you hope for weather, I guess? Like the bills look completely and Gabe Davis wasn't even playing. They've won their last 20 or their last 20 games

by double digits. Their last 20 victories have been, have been double digit victories, which is just insane. They didn't punt until the third quarter of their second game. And when they did punt, it hit the other guy in the face and they recovered it. Yes.

And it's, the bills are getting into that territory of, it looks like a power, it looks like Oklahoma playing Tulsa every weekend. You know what I mean? Like it's, the mismatch just feels so large. And I guess we'll see what happens when Tua, the hottest quarterback in the world, goes and plays the bills this weekend.

But I don't think you can overstate how good the bills are. There's no O in, in Allen's last name. So that on paper, as far as the system goes, that's a system play towards the Buffalo bills. Whose line is that anyway? What's that line? Is it in Buffalo? In Buffalo, I think, right?

It's a, it's a Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Oh, wait, last year, you remember the bills went to Florida, bad time. Bills minus two and a half. No, I think it's more, it's gotta be bills minus. Bills, four, five and a half. Five and a half, I was close. Six, yeah, it's gotta be, that'll be ended six.

I kind of, I kind of like the dolphins on that one. That's a juicy, hungry dog. Did you see Mike Vrable after the game? He was walking through the concourse and there was a fan that yelled at him. It was before the game. Oh, it was before the game. There was a fan that yelled at him,

hey, Sean McDermott could take you. And Vrable was like, no, he couldn't. So as far as like that, that sound bite from McDermott goes, he was joking around, but I think that even joking around, he can get under Vrable. Vrable doesn't like to hear that from anybody. Yeah. That anybody thinks that they could take him.

But now I want to see the fight. Yeah. And I feel bad for Vrable because it does. I mean, the Titans are clearly like trading AJ Brown and drafting Malik Willis like, hey, we're going to, we're going to slowly transition here. This might be something that's not sustainable because we keep going to the playoffs and Ryan Tannehill happens.

So it's going to be a tough year for the Titans. Like I don't really, I don't, it doesn't feel, that was a game that the Titans a couple of years ago go in and win as like 10 point underdogs because they always would rise to those occasions and they were never in that game. Like that was an absolute beat down. I did like getting to see Malik Willis

at the end of the game though. Yeah. And Case Keenum. That's, I mean, the Bills are doing an entire quarter of backups. That's, that's so ridiculous in the NFL. Is Derek Henry like found out? Well, I think he's just getting older, I think he's getting, I think two things.

He's getting older and there's no AJ Brown to stretch the field and maybe three things. They're often, I mean, our boy Taylor Luan, I hope he's okay. Might have been another ACL, which sucks. Yeah. Yeah, the league has figured out Derek Henry. Or that. And it's just that, tackle him.

You got, you know what? You got to put eight guys in the box. Yeah. That's how they figured it out. Yeah. And, and I mean, Josh Allen's the new no one can tackle him guy. It's like, he just, he figures out new ways to jump over people every week.

So he did some of the hurdles last year. This week he was doing like one footed pirouettes. He had like side hurdles. Well, like kicking his leg over a guy's head and then landing on his other, on his other foot. He's just figuring out different ways to extend plays at the end of it. He did do that thing where at the end of a fourth down play,

he just tried to throw the ball. Yeah. Just match all the buttons. He got, he hit all the buttons at once and then he fell down as he was throwing the ball, almost getting intercepted. That was probably, that was the low light of the bill's night last night.

That was it. They didn't convert one fourth down in like two yards. And besides that, it was a perfect game. Another highlight of the game was Daniel Lavsky potentially farting in the announcers box, farting and sneezing at the same time as they were going through the pregame warmups. I want to see the tape because there is tape, right?

Yeah. Like they do have a camera that's on the announcers. So somebody had to have been watching that feed at some point last night. If you saw Daniel Lavsky just blow, rip a juicy one into his microphone and pregame, please send that to us. And Dan, I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job

but the fart, sneeze combo, that doesn't happen to a guy who jerks off regularly. Because your body's just looking to have something escape from it. And it's like, I need to get something out of a hole. Sneeze fart. Dan, maybe next time you're in the booth for a Titans game, you ask them to blur out the first three letters

of that team's name. He's getting all horned up. Getting a randy. Max, we should, actually, we talked to Max Homa. So we'll call you back, girl. That was Max Homa's request. You are an Eagles fan. How are you feeling?

Knowing that Hank just tried to jinx us. I don't give a fuck about Hank. That was a clear strategy by him and it won't affect me at all. This has been the best day ever. Obviously, it's a week to week league and right now we're winning the Super Bowl. I won one of those things where I went to sleep at like 2 a.m.

and just watched every single highlight of the game and was looking for every piece of analysis. I went on the podcast app this morning and was just watching, listening to random Eagles podcast from people I've never heard. It's the best feeling waking up after a game like this. It really is. I'll give Philadelphia another compliment

because it was playing the Vikings. I think it's great when a city can have one single video that encapsulates an entire fan base and the kid screaming at the lady after the Vikings game, go back. That was the NFC championship game. It is one of the funniest videos of all time and it literally like that is,

every Eagles fan in my mind is that guy. And it's so funny. It's also great in sports when you have the random one team owns another that they don't play that often and the Eagles just completely own the Vikings, like completely own them. You know, like it's one thing obviously,

like the Packers own the Bears, but they play twice a year. It just feels like every time the Eagles and Vikings color combo matches, it's like, yeah, the Eagles are gonna kill them. Yeah, the video that you're talking about, the look on that kid's face, he's just a kid that knows with 100% certainty

that there will be zero consequences to anything that he's saying. So he's getting right up in that lady's face, he becomes not human for a second. He just like- He becomes pure Philadelphia. It's like when you see people in church speaking in tongues, the power of the Lord talking through them,

that's what this guy is doing, but it's just for the vibe of Philadelphia. Yeah, it's Philadelphia. If Philadelphia was a drug and then you get like the stepped on version where it's like little baby powder mixed in where Philly fans like are kind of jerks, but they can be regular humans every now and then.

That was just pure untouched Philadelphia. It was uncut Philly. It was, yeah. What's the word for that? Filtanel? Filtanel. Filtanel, there we go, got it. I'll workshop on that. One other thing, because I mean,

you guys can relate to this too, but I mistakenly bet on the Vikings money line and I turned the game on one, I think it was one snap from Kirk Cousins. I literally was like prime time Kirk Cousins, I'm such a fucking idiot. Like it wasn't, it was over the second they had one play. And it was also the Eagles first drive

where it was like, I think they got maybe a holding penalty and they went to like first and 20s, like that's not a problem. I can tell the second I watched Kirk Cousins in prime time too. Right Hank, what you're saying when you tune in and you see him and his shoulder pads go up higher than they normally do.

So it looks like his head is sunk into his body a little bit more and he's standing back in the pocket. He panics, he goes off his first read and then he throws a ball that's maybe like one yard in front of the line of scrimmage. That guy gets like three yards and that's what it's going to be for the rest of the night.

And that's what Kirk Cousins is going to do. And it's so infuriating. And I've fallen into this trap, like it happens. It happens probably twice a season now to me. And I just need to go cold turkey away from Kirk Cousins. I think America needs to quit Kirk Cousins. Yeah, and he's, I think it's two and 10 in prime time. The two wins being against the Bears,

which I know Vikings fans, they love to be like, how about Justin Fields? Like, hey dude, Justin Fields doesn't even like the fan base. So yeah, I agree. Like we got problems. But at least I'm honest about my problems. Whereas Kirk Cousins fans delude themselves into thinking he's something that he's not.

Yeah. Coach Siriani, coach of the year. Yeah. Tried to tell you. I mean, he looks like the player right now. I'm Philly Dan this year. I'm fucking, I'm happy I made this bet because at least I have a team

that can play competent football that I can like turn on the TV and be like, go birds. And then Justin Fields does that. By the way, that press conference, obviously people were upset because Justin Fields, I think he was like, we care more in this locker room than the fans. And people got like, I actually, I'm fine with that. Like I think the players probably,

I'd prefer them to care very, very much and be upset when they lose. He goes to work every day with guys that are working hard. They're like tackling each other, putting in blood, sweat and tears and shit. Of course he's going to be like, yeah, I care about my teammates more than I care about the fans. That's fine. The only thing is you shouldn't say it.

Yeah, it was a leading question. The question was, does losing to this team, does it sting more because of this rivalry and how much Bears fans want to win this game? And he's like, we really want to win this game as players. Yeah, I'm happy he wants to win the game very badly. But he should, Justin Fields should like on the bye week, maybe watch a game with some Bears fans and be like, look,

this is like, or maybe we can just like play an old game for him and be like, see how painful this is for us. Like you walk a mile in our shoes and just try to figure out like you go through the physical pain, but we go through the mental torture of having to root for this franchise. I think it's just a young quarterback saying something that he'll learn that he shouldn't say out loud. Yeah, because I bet if you asked anybody else in the league,

any or most players in the league, like, do you care more about your teammates or do you care about the fans that you don't know? They'll be like, well, my my teammates are my friends. Right. Like I go to war with them. I go to war with them and I like I hang out with them and they're they're my life. But fans do pay the bills. Fans do pay the bills.

So no league without the fans. I think I think most players would, in a moment of honesty, say, yes, I care more about my teammates, but you just shouldn't say it. Yeah, it gets unspoken. Fans, we know at the end of the day, we're idiots for spending so much time worrying about US athletes and like investing our heart, our egos, our sense of self worth. Everything, everything we put in the game.

It's objectively stupid for us to do this. Correct. We know that. We just don't need you to to tell it to point it out to remind us because then then we feel like idiots. Right. And it was also just a perfect story because I escaped Sunday Night Football being like, that wasn't the most embarrassing thing ever. And then Justin Fields comments like, you know, hit the internet and everyone

was making fun of Bears fans. So, you know, who does care? Shout out. We just got to give him a shout out. Our boy Barstool Lenny, he tweeted. He's like, sorry to all my fantasy owners. Touchdowns coming soon. That's fucking cool. OK, we got a bet on them then. Yeah, we got a bet on touchdowns coming soon.

The internet for net touchdown this week. Touchdowns coming soon. OK, let's do we'll do a little college football and we'll do hot seat, cool throne.

Yeah, I think he could play in the NFL right now as a freshman. They all could. I did that. I mean, I'm already believing in Stetson Bennett being an NFL quarterback. That's how good they are. Call all the dogs and we also had Herm Edwards get fired literally on the field. So I tweeted that out. I've had a bunch of people reply both ways to me.

Some people are saying I'm spreading fake news. I just saw somebody tweet out that he got fired on the field. So I watched the video and then I was like, oh, shit. Yeah, thoughts and prayers to Herm Edwards. It looks like he got fired on the field. He definitely did. If if he didn't get fired on the field, then I don't know what conversation they had because he walked away.

I've never seen a man walk away with the more I just got fired face. And I've never seen another guy walk away with the more I'm really sorry that I just had to fire that guy. Yeah, and I'm also relieved that I'm it's over with. Yeah, because it was it was they probably went and had a long talk after. But it was essentially Herm Edwards walking up to the A.D. And I don't know who else was there. I think the school president school president.

Yeah, so he walks up to him and I think Herm Edwards like that was a tough game. We just lost the Eastern Michigan and it felt like the A.D. was like, yeah, real tough, we're going to have to do something different. Going in a different direction. Yeah. And so then they walked off. They're like, yeah, that means you're fired. So the Herm Edwards tenure will be remembered for being like better than expected in year one.

Yeah, I think that's fun. That's that's kind of like the thing that if you look back on it, you're like, yeah, it was OK for one year. And then everything that I've read about Arizona State is just the program is like falling apart behind the scenes. Yeah. And those are always weird. Like you never really find out exactly why it was so bad until six months down the line, eight months down the line when they do the full

like post postmortem article about what happened to Arizona State football. But from what I've seen so far, it's like Herm did not care that much about he's too much of a people person. So he didn't care about the recruiting rules. If there was like a recruit around him, he was going to go talk to that person and then, you know, be Herm Edwards, because that's what he does. And he also, I mean, we said this when he got hired.

He was a coach who's been in media for a very long time. College football coaching is not it's not easy. You have to like live it and breathe it all the time. So whenever a guy goes from being semi retired for an extended period of time, like, OK, now you have to go and fly. You have to go win a game. And then the minute you win the game, you have to get on the phone and talk to an 18 year old or 17 year old.

That's not like fun. That's a lot different than doing some hits on ESPN and playing golf all day. So I never thought it was going to work. But we did have that first year where it felt like he was doing something. It did work. Yeah. For yeah, for a very brief period of time. So now that that opening has entered into the Urban Meyer discussion. Yes. Well, and if you know what the Sun Devil's hand symbol is,

I feel like it's probably the front runner in that conversation. But Urban Nebraska, Urban rumors are hot. I'm deathly afraid of that happening because Urban Meyer will make Nebraska really, really good and maybe win a national championship because outside of Saban, he's the best college coach alive right now. Counterpoint. Counterpoint, though. How satisfying would it be to watch him fail at Nebraska? It would. That would be pretty good.

He. But you know what he's going to do is he's going to get to do the press conference. He'd be like, I always loved Nebraska. Nebraska's football like we're going to run the ball and he'll just he'll figure out a way to make them great because he's done it literally every stop that he's had. So yeah, I'm very afraid of this. I want I would prefer it be like Matt rule in Nebraska because I know that I know Matt rule. No matter what, I can still make fun of him for spitting on himself. So so if Urban Meyer goes to Nebraska and he tries to and he does turn around,

we're going to get the Urban Meyer Redemption story within record time because when he got fired from the Jaguars, he was like he was unhireable. Yeah. And so then it's about six months later, eight months later, and all of a sudden he's the hottest name for it. It just goes to show you that if you're a big state school, you will throw whatever sense of morality you have at the. Let's win some football games. Urban Meyer at Nebraska.

I'm confidently saying they will be in a college football playoff. And I would say if he stays, if you told me he's staying there for 10 years, I'd say they win a national championship. He's that good of a coach like he's proven it. He made Utah really fucking good. Florida, you know, then go to Ohio State like that's all he does is win. I do the one thing that would be really cool if Nebraska did. And Andy Staples, our friend, pointed this out.

And they really they're the only school that can do it because Nebraska had everyone in Nebraska, the Nebraska fan base. They are, you know, steeped in history. And it's like the Tom Osborne years and winning national titles. It would be so cool if Nebraska just hired Jeff Monk and from Army and ran the triple option like elite athletes because no one I would love to just see the triple option with elite athletes and how much it would fuck everyone up.

Because I don't know how you would defend it if you had like five star dudes buying in to triple option. You're obsessed with the triple option. No, the triple option is fucking best, dude. You can't triple options. So they don't use it for a reason. No. What are you talking about? Army uses it. Army Air Force Navy.

Ferris State won the D2 championship using it. Yes, well, option. But Hank, triple option is used because Army Navy and Air Force, they want I think they change the rule, but for a while, they couldn't have offensive linemen over a certain weight. So they need to guys just cut blocking and beating them with scheme. I'm saying if you had like if Alabama just started running the triple option with their athletes, they would kill everyone.

What was the difference? So much fun to watch. There's a small difference between that and the single wing offense, right? The single wing offense is similar to the triple option, except they can snap the ball to any guy at any given time, which is like an evolution. That's what I want to see. I want to see I think you could get elite athletes to buy into the single wing because it does have like a little bit more spice to it. And it's not just power football all the time.

I want the bears to run the triple option. We already have a triple option quarterbacks throwing 11 times a game. That's perfect. Like we've done the hard part. Don't pass. What's that look, Billy? Technically, you could run a triple option out of the single wing. Oh, yeah. See, so it encompasses everything. It's like it's like the triple option on steroids.

Yeah, but Nebraska, which is Nebraska football, right? Nebraska is the one school where if you told their fan base, we're running the triple option, they'd be like, thank God, we're back. Yeah, because like that. I mean, you just need like a they all they got to do is recruit like a really fast five, nine quarterback, have them throw it 10 times a game and then just run the ball down. Everyone's through.

I still think they're cursed for not recruiting Danny Woodhead. Yeah, that was a big mistake. Yeah, he was just down the street. He was. He was right there. Missed out. Ever since you let him walk to was it North Platte? Wherever you missed out. Yeah, you missed out. Chadron High School.

But college football, we're getting conference play starting up. I'm very Wisconsin plays Ohio State this weekend. So please just leave me alone, everyone. That's going to suck so bad. Shout out, Syracuse. Syracuse. Three and oh, three and oh, and Kansas. And Kansas and Duke and Duke play each other this weekend, I believe. What a match. Yes, they do.

They're both undefeated. That's great. They should they should have moved that to like the like late November and just had like a double head of Kansas champions classic. Yeah, Madison Square Garden, Kansas, Duke and football. Yeah, that would have been fun. I think J.M.U. PFT is going to is going to win.

So Jay Sunbelt, J.M.U. is like the best offensive team in the country somehow. Now, we've only played two games, but I think we're just behind me. We might be just behind Michigan and that's it. I think it's an all time let down spot for Appalachian State. I mean, after they kind of had their let down spot, they almost lost to Troy. But then they got back up again.

Right. But so now it's another let down. That was the winning on a Hail Mary is a high. But the game day after Texas A&M was the let down spot. But they continued on that. Yeah, no, I get it. But I'm just saying like that was their due for a let down. OK, Appalachian State. They didn't have a let down.

They are the most exciting game in the country. The way that they play every single week. It's crazy. They lost to UNC. No, but they won. No, I know, I know. But that was that was the scare of the let down. Like that was they went on an insane way, which I think that will. But that is a coach like coach could be like, you guys lost that game. Get back in there and work where if they killed Troy, I'd be like,

yeah, real let down spot. Yeah, but it was it's coming off having game day there and everything. I do think that it might be a let down spot. So Appalachian State actually got seventy seven votes to be in the top twenty five. They deserve it. If J.M.U. beats them by like ten points in Boone, I feel like J.M.U. might be ranked in their first season. Who have they played, though?

Nobody, absolutely nobody, but but but if they beat Appalachian State, who has what, seventy seven votes to be in the poll, right? If they smoke them in Boone, it's not out of this world. The thing that they could be ranked is Appalachian State ranked. Appalachian State has seventy seven votes, but they're not right. So they would be ranked number twenty eight. Yeah, I think that would it would be. They probably have to win a couple more.

I'm just telling you that that is how the voters work. Maybe maybe you got it. You got to win. I mean, the fact that Appalachian State beat Texas A&M. The fact that we're even that we're even having the conversation about it, though, is is still kind of serenity. Well, you started the conversation. Yeah, yeah, smart. That was smart right here.

Yeah, we're discussing. We're even talking about this. But we're discussing. It's crazy. We're discussing it. That's a genius thing. OK, should we do hot seat cool throne? Texas A&M, one more thing about them. Yeah, I think I've gone full circle on the yellow leaders. I think I kind of like them now, man,

because they're so bad. Yeah, they keep going. Reviral and the videos keep going out. They keep leaking out there despite Texas A&M's best efforts to delete them. And they're so bad now that I think that they're good. Well, they're and they're the fact they're taking it down, though, makes it like that's the lame part.

It is. Oh, yeah. That's the lamest part. Like if you just embrace that that's what you are, a weird cult. Yeah, I think that I would land more on your side, but they're like actively trying to DMCA everyone. They're like, yeah, what are you doing? If you if you have to repeatedly tell people that you're not a cult every week, chances are you're probably a cult.

Yeah, but it is. It's funny how Texas A&M and those videos in particular are are serving the purpose of making Notre Dame actually look like youthful and edgy. Yeah, Notre Dame is like, yeah, this is a cool program that I'd want to go to. Marcus Freeman's in trouble. That was he might not be a good coach. I'm actually going to say that he's not.

Quick question on the midnight yell, guys. Yeah, are they reciting chance that they replace the names and mascots every week, or are they making those up new every week? Because some of them are really weird and outdated. Yeah, it's a good question, Billy. I don't really care to know the answer to it. I don't want to know the answer. It's like looking too much into Scientology.

Yeah, I don't I don't want to get into it. Because I'm sure that once I find out that the old red that works down at the general store that tries to sell people laughing stocks every week, that's one of their jokes that they always use every time I get closer to finding out exactly what that's all about. I think I'm getting closer to joining the cult. Right. Texas A&M. And it's one of those things that if I, you know, I'm a big believer

that if you take in new information, you lose old information. I don't want more information on Texas A&M to like replace some, you know, sick, stone cold wrestling match from like the late 90s. I don't want to lose that Texas A&M. What I'm also worried about, though, is I don't like how this is becoming such a like recurring joke at their expense, because I think that there's a chance that they're going to stop doing it. Yeah. And then no, they'll never stop.

And I think I think if this keeps going down that you remember, like the gathering of the juggalos almost got ruined because journalists paid too much attention to every year. I don't want this to to fall into that same. I want Texas A&M to keep doing their weird cult like behaviors so that I can continue to make fun of them from afar. Yeah, I don't want them to change their traditions. Yes, keep keep being weird, keep being a cult.

Aaron Judge is going for the record. Yep. And if he breaks it on Friday, it will be on Apple TV. Oh, no. I love that. Oh, I love that for them so much. Way to stay relevant baseball. Damn. The other fun little wrinkle with that is that foul ball guy has made it his mission to try and catch Aaron Judges, 60 second home run and pools of 700.

He'd have to retire. Well, pools isn't going to hit 700, but he'd have to retire. I think he is now he keeps throwing fucking meatballs, softball practice. That would be he would be the goat of all goats if he did that. And he already is. Think about the odds of that happen. It's even one of two. It's impossible. If he gets one of two, it's still the most like calling your shot on that.

He's the most impressive stunt of all time. There's no chance. There's zero chance. And if he does get it, if he does get it, we need to the foul ball guy. The name is just it's such a misleading. He's the home run. He's a home run king at that point. In he, I would say, like, if you just said that as any human being, there's zero percent chance foul ball guy, there's always a chance.

That guy does miracles. My other hot seat is avatar. Oh, this this has been pissing me off. As as football has been on national TV broadcasts, probably millions of dollars to run these commercials. I liked avatar. I was a huge fan of the first one I've seen a bunch of times. The first time I saw the commercial, I was like, oh, shit, avatar, too.

Let's go on. Yeah. They're just putting avatar back in theaters. Yeah, like 10 years after it came out. Yeah, that's to refresh everyone's memory for the new one, because nobody remembers any characters or any of the plot from the original avatar. But but it's just like. The studio made so much money the first time the studios were just like, fuck it. Yeah, run it back.

And guess what? We'll watch it. I don't think so. I hope not. Why don't why don't studios do this more often with just like every classic movie? Yeah, but it's not. It's been 10 years. I'd see good fellows in a fucking movie theater. A million percent. You wouldn't guess.

Yes, I mean, Matt Damon described how new movies aren't as good because of streaming services. So let's just replay the classic. Yeah, bring them back. And let's just pretend it's back in what? Nineteen ninety six. Was that when like Shawshank Redemption came out? Same year, Nick.

Me and his Forest Gump. Yeah, date night movies that were sick. Run them back so the new generation can get late. That's good. Good call. Kids don't kids don't fuck anymore, Billy. Not in the movie theaters. Peewee Herman, ruin that. What's your cool throne?

Yeah, whatever. I guess you're you're being a being a downer. You're being grumpy. Yeah. No, I like Avatar. I got hyped. I'm like, let's go. I was like, wait a second. So wait, this is just Avatar one. I've seen.

I've seen Avatar as many times as I could want to see it. I have no desire to go see in the theater again. I know. I was on the big screen. I don't know why you're upset about that. If you really liked Avatar, you'd either one, want to go see it again in theaters, or two, let other people see it in theaters. I don't understand what's making you angry.

Put out the second Avatar. OK, it's not. OK, I get that. You're antsy. This is a little appetizer. But I've eaten the appetizer like a hundred times. So you're not going to get mozzarella sticks when you go to the fucking Applebee's? Judging Hank's taste in appetizers.

I don't really trust him on that. That's a good one. I don't know the characters. Stumped. That's why you need to go rewatch it. There's blue woman and then there's the colonel, the general. OK, you're cool. My cool thrones Adnan.

Yeah, he's out. He's free. Free. We did it. Hey, congrats to all podcast listeners out there. This is we're sharing this. Everybody that's ever listened to a podcast had a big part in justice to that. I do feel a little bad for our friend Kirk

because he just solved a murder, too. And then Cyril just hopped in and was like, oh, remember the most like insanely popular murder podcast ever? Yeah, that guy's out. Yeah, Kirk did get a person convict or not. Arrested. Arrested. Like a serial killer.

Yes. You put a serial killer behind. And now Sarah Koenig just shows up and is like, hey, remember my voice? I got Adnan free. And also I still want to fuck him. Great music, too. I fell in love with him. She definitely fell in love with him.

There was some romantic tension there for sure. So he might go back on trial because they're they're just letting him out of jail. They're not saying that he's innocent or not guilty yet. Right. They're saying there was prosecutorial misconduct. You nailed it. Which is what got Bill Cosby off.

Yeah. Not saying that they're equivalent. But there was a guy that had threatened to kill that lady. Jay, is that her name? Yeah. No, Jay was the guy. It's been a while since he was. It actually kind of sucks that we don't know the name of the person that was killed.

And we spend all our time talking about like potential murderers of her. That's kind of sad. But hey, it was hey. I think hey, hey, mainly it was hey. So we don't know. There was a guy that threatened to murder her. And sounds like that might be the guy. And the defense was never told about this potential suspect.

And then there was another guy that was also suspected that they weren't told about. So he might go back on trial. Maybe we'll get another season. Yeah. Serial. Yeah. OK, good job, Hank. Great job. See, cool throne. Thanks.

Except for the avatar shit. My hot seat is chess. Oh, there's a there's a giant scandal rocking the world of chess right now. In fact, it might be the biggest scandal to ever hit chess in the history of the game, which is like 500 years. This is crazy. Just bear with me on this because I stayed up last night.

I watched several YouTube videos about it. OK, you're an expert. I'm an expert on it right now. So Magnus Carlson. Magnus Carlson is the goat. He is the best chess player of my personal goat. He's your personal goat. You're not a Gary Kasparov guy.

No. OK, Magnus Carlson. I actually tend to agree with you on this. I think he is the goat. He's the highest rated. He's been the champion for several years right now. He's been the best player for like 10 years. He's gotten so good at chess that he has decided not to defend his title.

Instead, he's going for the all time ranking. Like he's going for points. He's just like saying, you know what? The championship matches don't matter. I've won so many of them. I'm just going to try to get my rating as high as possible for the rest of my career. So that's Magnus Carlson.

He's from Norway. There's an up and comer from the United States. He's like a streamer. He's like a twitch chess guy. OK. And his name is Hans Nieman. And what happened was Hans Nieman. He's very low rated compared to Magnus. He's not on the goat level.

Yeah, he's trash. He's up and coming, but he's the new generation. He's a new boy in the block. So they compete in the chess tournament in St. Louis. I don't know why St. Louis has a chess tournament or why anyone goes there. It makes zero sense. But this guy, Hans Nieman gets matched up in the second round

and gets Magnus Carlson the goat. He beats the shit out of Magnus Carlson. Oh, no, just absolutely destroys him. And then after the match is over, Magnus Carlson tweets out that he's retiring from that tournament. And then he puts a little video attached to it of Jose Mourinho saying, I can't say what I want to say because I'll get in trouble if I say it heavily implying that this guy cheated.

Yeah. Do you know how the accusations of how? Yeah, I know. So we're going to get there. The plot's going to continue to unravel here. So after that accusation is leveled against Hans Nieman, they're they're chess detectives out there. You know how, like on message boards, you sit for like runners.

You try to catch cheaters and all that stuff. They start digging into his past. Find out he's been banned from chess.com multiple times in the past for cheating online. But this was a face to face matchup. And so they're like, he must have cheated somehow face to face. They search Hans Nieman. They give him like a wand and they frisk him and like the guy's clean.

He doesn't have anything on him that could signal what to use. So what a lot of these players have done in the past to cheat is they'll set up electronics to like what's called a chess engine, which evaluates every single possible move that that could take place on the chess board and tells them where to move their piece. And it makes them play like a perfect game. We're all the chess engine. So they don't find anything on them.

Then the chess detectives dig in further and a rumor comes out there that Hans Nieman, the American kid, has been using anal beads in his butthole that vibrate to tell him where to move his pieces. And then Elon Musk actually weighed in on it too and said, yeah, I think that this kid might be using anal beads to cheat. So it's like the Avengers. It's it's kind of like the Avengers.

By the way, if you do that, I think that's fair game. So if you put anal beads in your ass to vibrate during a chess game, that should be allowed. So last night when I dove into it, I thought I was team Magnus in all this. Well, he's our goat. But he is our goat. But Magnus is is throwing all these weird claims out. And he's not backing them. He's offering zero explanation.

Yeah, that's not good. I think. OK, so this is where I got a little bit too far into the weeds, because I think that Magnus. He's got anal beads. Oh, and that he's recognizing that the guy that he's playing against is stealing his trick, which is also using anal beads. Whoever smelt the Delta and he's confused. But is Magnus accusing of anal beads or just no, he's just throwing out random

like cryptic messages, not outright. He's not. He's being real coy behind the scenes. But Hank, the person that did make the accusation of the anal beads was an anonymous internet commenter at first. Hmm. Isn't that interesting? Disgusting. You know, who else has the internet? Magnus Carlson. He uses the internet.

I think Magnus Carlson is the guy with the anal beads that's accusing our maybe our baby goat, our American goat. Yep. They don't like it. They don't like Yanks taking over their sport. It's a European Scandinavian sport. You see a new bad boy coming in. He's a Twitch guy. It's kind of like new blood accusations.

Yeah. And then they finally have another matchup yesterday and Magnus quits after one move. Oh, no. He retires and he disconnects his entire computer. I might not be this goat thing might not be working out. He might. He might be baby back bitch. He might be bad. And I'm sure you would never. I think Hans Nieman might be our new goat.

OK, I'm in. I think you suede me. Squat and cough and make him play. Yeah. Yeah. They play nude. Did you play it nude? Yeah. Or are just like make them take a shit before they start. Yeah. During the day to play on toilets. Yes, I like that. Yeah. And you have to five minutes to drop a log before every move.

Yes. Yes. They have to take a laxative and play chess on toilet. So I'm way too into the chess drama right now, and I'm sure I'll be following it as it envelopes. But man, 64 square board. Yeah. A lot of shit goes down on there. A lot of shit. And then my cool throne was going to be what Hank did cereal. So my hot seat was long enough to keep it moving.

All right. My hot seat, I have to throw an avatar. My hot seat is Bryson DeChambeau getting assaulted by a rope. If you missed this clip, I don't know how you missed it, but he walked into a rope that was very visible, very visible, then took a knee and was like, I can't see my eye. You thought that he would have like he got shot by a sniper the way he was. It was a laser beam. It was one of those laser beam ropes. It was insane how he reacted.

It was so perfect. It feels like it's been a while since we've had. Oh, this guy sucks moment with Bryson. So it was good to have that. It was so funny. Watch it. I've been watching this video for the last two days and there's multiple angles of it. There were a lot of cameras rolling at the time.

Bryson, he he's he had butts of rope and then he falls to the ground and then proceeds to immediately blame everyone around him for the rope existing. Yes. He's like, fuck, guys. What the fuck? What the what the fuck was that? Shit. And not to not to victim shame here, because it did look like it was a very violent act. But one way to avoid this would be to hit your ball inside the ropes.

Yeah. And to not have to cross over the ropes. Perfectly normal. Yeah. Yeah. But it was just you got to watch it. It was so great. And then my other hot seat is Tom Brady's social team because Russell Wilson has just completely ripped off his post game videos like identical. And it's the next step in Russell Wilson just being like,

oh, this popular player does this. I'm going to do it, too. And it was I mean, it's so Russ. It's so Russ and for doing it for a 16, 9 win against the Texans was even better. Yeah, it was just like run plays because he had no good passes. Everything was it was exactly identical. Identical going from the the intro, the different cuts, the type of filters, the music.

And then at the end, when they put the score up and then the official team logo. Yeah. If you put it side to side, I think it matches up perfect. And Tom Brady has been doing it for like five years. And Russell Wilson was like, yep, I'm in. He was he, you know, he had a banger for week one if they had won that game. So he was probably pissed that he had to do the Texans. Then my cool throne is that is the twins, the Minnesota twins. I don't know if you guys saw this, but the twins finally have their URL.

So Durland and Darwin Miller twins have been squatting on the twins.com URL for since 1995. Very funny guys. They're they have a picture together where it's like they're kind of like embracing a little bit and they've been interviewed and they're like, yeah, everyone always knew us as the twins. So we got twins.com. And they're like, when you think of twins, you think of us.

So I'm happy for Minnesota. They finally have twins.com. Yes, I just typed it in a bag. It redirects. It was not disclosed. But I think they said they have been offered $750,000 before. So look at these guys, they're twins. That's crazy.

Yeah. And they're they're they just they're like, yeah, I think the exact quote. They're the cockiest twins ever. And they made a lot of money from this. Yeah, my brother, Darwin. So I'm Durland, my brother, Darwin, and we are the twins. His name is Durland. Durland and Darwin.

And he said in this article a couple of years ago, everybody has known us as the twins for as long as we've been around. And it's easy way to identify or find us the twins. The twins, they said they also have a friend who at the same time in like 1995, their friend, Jeff, got the URL, Jeff.com. That's pretty shout out to Jeff.com. Jeff.com was that was that was a hot one. Yeah, Jeff.com.

What's the new what's the new real estate land grab on the internet right now? Eat.eaths. Dot.eaths. I've seen a lot of those. Yeah. A lot of like usernames. Yeah. Is twins.eath.

Is that taken? Durland probably squatted on that. Yeah. Yeah. Durland. So so shout out to the twins for getting the twins, Billy. My hot seat is Beyond Meat, the C.O.O. of Beyond Meat after the Arkansas, Missouri game bit a guy's nose in a parking lot.

And that's just a classic example of a guy craving real animal protein. Yeah, although I'm going to say right now, because I looked at this article, he he definitely eats meat. Yeah, because he was Tyson foods bought beyond meat. So he used to work for Tyson's food. He was the president of Global McDonald's. So this guy's a meat eater. So that's that's the problem is you don't have a vegan running beyond meat.

Or he could just be eating too much beyond meat recently. True. And he was craving some more meat. I think the whole thing for Beyond Meat, though, is it's kind of like a gateway drug into not eating meat anymore. It's like you can try this. So you can still eat meat and beyond meat at the same time. He also the article that I read about it was he was one of his chairs when he was at

McDonald's was Executive Safety Council. So that's good. The guy who got so mad at a parking garage that he bit another man's nose off. I'm just going to say at an Arkansas football game, you should be allowed to bite another man's face off. Yeah, I think that like that plays for Arkansas specifically. It's also a great move to be like, I don't want to hurt you, but I want to leave a message that I am tougher than you.

Don't bump my car. I think also the I think the car that bumped it, it was it was the most lopsided fight ever because he jumped out and was like, I'm going to kill you and then bit his nose off. And I want to say it was yeah. So he was driving a Bronco and the car that bumped him was a Subaru. So that like he was minus 10,000 to win that fight. Yeah, was the other guy was was the other guy a fan of Missouri State?

I don't know. But Ram, he went from zero to 100 like very quickly pretty bad bumped him. Then he smacked the Ramsey, the guy beyond me guy smashed his window started, took him out of the car, started punching him and bit his nose. Off of a bump in a parking garage. I'm OK with an Arkansas fan biting an opposing fan, but not if it's not if it's Missouri State. You can't do that with Missouri State.

It's got to be an SEC opponent. I agree. Are you a cool throne? My cool throne is all of us. Biden said the pandemic's over. All right. Oh, nice. Yeah.

We did it guys. We did it, Joe. We fucking did it. Love it. Very cool. Nice. Good job. So what does that mean?

Thank you, Joe. It's over. All right. He said it was over. It's been over for us for a month into the pandemic. It was over for us. That was a real bummer of the last couple of years. Yeah.

I mean, it's over now. Yeah. He did it. He solved it. Officially. Officially. Jake. My hot seat.

Bedlam. Yeah. I know. Fuck that. I know. Once Oklahoma leaves for the SEC, the series is over. It's disgusting. They'll come back.

Yeah. They should. They should be like five years. What's to stop them from just playing Bedlam? Because if you're Oklahoma, you're going to play an SEC schedule, and you also have to play Oklahoma State, they're going to want to schedule nobody's in September.

I think it will come back, though. It will come back. Like 2030. Yeah. They'll be like, this was stupid. Let's play again. They're going to make us want it. And sometimes colleges just make you beg for stuff.

Yeah. And then they're like, OK, we'll do the cool thing everyone wants. It is sad, but we do get Texas A&M back, which was a great rivalry before it went away. Yeah, absolutely. And my cool throne is retirements. Apparently, today is a big day to retire for a big name in the NHL.

We had Chara, PK Subban, and Keith Yandle all retired today. And I'm not a huge hockey guy, but I know those guys. I think Keith Yandle did it on spit and chip. Yes, he did. Exclusive. Yeah. Shout out to boys. Let's go.

Yeah. Sok. Yeah. Tough day for hockey fans, but rest those guys on retirement. Yeah, Chara. Cap's a legend. Great career. Never forget.

OK. Good hot seat, cool thrones, everyone. Let's get to our good friend, Max Homo. Before we get to Max Homo, he is brought to you by, pardon my cheese steak. Part of my cheese steak is a delivery and pick up only restaurant brand, bringing you craveable cheese steaks and loaded fries.

OK, we now welcome on our very good friend, recurring guest, and back-to-back Fortnite champion. It is Max Homo. Fresh off his victory, it's literally like 12 hours after he won. I guess let's start there, because we're going to talk

Presidents Cup as well, which are playing in this week. That was, all I really have to say is, holy shit, I can't believe how that all transpired. For people who didn't watch, Max, hold out with a, what were you, like, 20 feet away? Yeah, 20, 30 feet. And then Danny Willett missed two five-foot putts for you, three putts for you to win.

And I have to ask, because I know, we were watching it live, I noticed after you won, you didn't really celebrate, because it was like, you didn't really win, Danny Willett just lost. Did you have that in the back of your head, where you're like, I have to kind of act a little sad here? Great question, Big Cat. Good question.

Yeah, I don't know, I didn't want to celebrate. Obviously, I was trying to do the classy thing. It's hard to celebrate when something crazy like that happens, but I mean, I still feel and believe like I won. I won the golf tournament. I have heard that Mercury's in retrograde, and that's why some crazy stuff's been going on. I just kind of have to tip my cap to Mercury, I think.

Shout out to Planets, yeah. And you did win, that whole out was fucking awesome. That was insane. Yeah, thank you. What was the conversation like with your caddy before you hit that shot? Did you know like, okay, I have to go for this, I have to actually try to make this shot

if I wanted a chance of winning? Yeah, I felt dead. I mean, I assumed Danny was going to make that putt, but before I hit it, Joe just said, make him make it. So at least make him earn it a little bit. If I, you know, missed that, I guess, you know, he could just kind of tap it up and have two putts to win. So it was just one of those Hail Mary crazy.

I don't think I've ever had anything like that happen, especially on the last hole, just something like so unbelievable. But yeah, Joe just said, just make him make the putt and give it a chance. And yeah, I just smoked the pin and just went straight down. It was insane. After, so you shake hands with Danny Will. Did you see him like in the locker room after anything?

You're like, man, those greens tough today. Like kind of like a, like putting your head down like, damn, that was, whoo, sorry. Yeah, like, sorry, dude. Apologize. That's brutal. I just realized, I just realized you guys would be the worst people to lose to.

You would say everything bad. Yes. Yes. Actually, that's what I did not say that. Jake would honestly do that. Jake would be like, you know, those greens are really challenging out there. A lot of people miss some bad putts.

Like being very polite, but then he would take it the wrong way. He would be like, hey, you want to get in the picture with the trophy? Because like you kind of won this too. Like I'm not going to give you any money, but like you were that close. Jake would be so accidentally like rude. Yeah.

People punch him, but he's just the nicest guy ever. Yeah. Speaking of that, I do have something to say. I'm glad I got to come back on here. Thank you guys for having me. Stop calling that Max Max. It's back, girl. I've already talked to you about this big cat.

It throws me off. I listen to your podcast three times a week, every week. And when Max comes up, I always think, what have I done? And I like the nickname. The nickname works. Yeah. Yeah. It is confusing because even when we were like scheduling you

this past week, I kept on saying Max and then he would perk up. And I just, you're right. I should just be like, shut up back, girl. Not talking about you. Yeah, exactly. A lot of people don't know this. I agree. But Max Homa actually is a part of part of my take.

He edits this podcast. So anytime that we have a change that we make to the show. All of the good ones. All the good. Anytime we say something drastically offensive, we accidentally text Max Homa and ask him to take it out when we mean to text back. Oh, yeah.

OK. Now I see where you're going. Yeah. We have a secret text chain of me, PFT and memes of all of the things PFT does not want to hurt. It's great. I'm going to give you a compliment, Max. You ready for this?

You have become the darling of media. You are, it feels like you're doing a million interviews, but you have shouted us out and I appreciate that because you could totally be like, fuck these podcasters. I don't know them anymore. I'm doing Scott Van Pelt's show now. Actually, no, you're not that big time. You did like the noon sports center.

But either way, you gave us. Sad in his chair, but never been on his show. Yeah. And you give us, you know, you're like, hey, these guys support me. So we appreciate that. And I mean, how much money are we getting from this fortnight? What do you get? What are you cashing on the fortnight?

I think I got like 50 bucks. I'll give you guys like 25 bucks. That works for me. 50% I like that. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Do you get a back to back bonus on that? They should.

You're like Mr. Fortnight. I need to lobby for that one. Yeah, I should. I should get a free PS5. I know Big Cat, you give those out every once in a while. So maybe I'll have another plug. And yeah, I feel like they should. Yeah, I should get a bonus.

So absolutely. That's it. One of those Mike Greenberg dumb rules, I think, that should go into effect. Yeah, we weren't worried about you, by the way, in this tournament because it was the perfect Max Houma tournament. You couldn't even watch it on TV. And it was during football.

So we kept on being like, no, Max has got this because no one's paying attention. That's when he shot. Yeah. Yeah, I think the round that. I'm like sliding in the kind of behind in the shadows. I'm in the shadows. I'm creeping around.

No one has any idea golf's being played. And that's when I seem to play my best. So how does that work on that final day? Didn't they move the start time up? I feel like that would really screw me up. You know how if they delay flights at the airport, they can always actually undelay them and make you miss your flight?

Because you thought your flight was. They moved it up on you like last minute. How does that work? Like with your preparation? Were you rushed? No, they did inform us the day prior. That airline thing seems like it should be illegal because I had that before.

And then an hour and a half before the original flight time, they're like, hey, it's actually on time. Yeah, it's bullshit. I'm like, OK, well, I've met my house. But yeah, no, it was just a little less sleep. So the turnaround was faster. But sometimes that's better sitting around all morning and thinking about the bad things that could happen is tough.

So it was nice actually to just wake up and go straight to the course the next day. Yeah. Serious question about Danny Willett, because I think he hit maybe the best golf shot that nobody will ever remember when he was behind that tree. What was it on like 17 or 16? When he hit that, did you think it was over?

No, it was sick, though. That's the ball curve like 50 yards in the air. But yeah, he went up one. And I mean, it was a bit of a shocker. But obviously, he's a great player. He's a true major golf tournament champion, won the Masters, where everyone's watching. And that was just a sick golf shot.

We'll never forget watching that ball curve. I was like, holy hell, I thought maybe there's a chance he was going to hit the tree and it was going to shoot out of bounds. And then next thing I know, he had 12 feet for birdie and he made it right in the middle. So that was a tough blow. So when something like that happens, you obviously you're watching it

and you realize what an incredible shot it is, but you're also competing against this guy for first place in a pretty significant amount of money. How much time do you spend? Like, do you go over to him and be like, hey, that was an amazing shot? Or are you just kind of stay in your lane and focus on what you have to do?

Yeah, I mean, I think I said good shot. But actually, that should be the next thing we started doing. I should have walked over and like high-fived him, walked back, really rattled him. You're like real hard, like hurt his hand. But yeah, that's always the, it's the toughest thing, man, is being like kind of in your lane, but also I guess somewhat appreciative

of what the other like great golf is going on, all the other great golf. Like in the beginning of the day, I couldn't make very many putts. And both Danny and Justin, who was in our group as well, were making everything. And on about the 10th hole, I think Justin made back-to-back like 40-foot putts.

And I felt like I was just shaking my head. And I've always wanted to have somebody else play their best and me play my best and my best be better. Like that's been my like dream scenario. But in the back of your mind, I mean, you do, it would be nice if people messed up here and there. And when Danny hit that shot from the tree, it was, that was, that was something else.

Yeah. Are you, are you flying too high right now? Do you need us to humble you? Are you, how are you feeling like? Yeah. Okay. Hit me, yeah. Bring me back.

Obviously the whole outshot, your fourth shot was incredible. Your third shot sucked, dude. You went from the sand to the rocks. Like that was bad. Yeah. I've been watching too many of Hank's golf videos on his Instagram. All right. So the president's cup, we obviously were dimpleheads.

We love the game of golf. Parvards. We know exactly what the president's cup is all about. But explain it to people who might not know what even this tournament is. So it is 12 of the best Americans, verse 12 of pretty much everyone, but Europe. Europe is the rider cup. So it's called the international team. And it is four days.

It's a match play. It's teams for the first three days. And then individual straight up heads, heads up match on Sunday. And it's, there's 30 total points up for grabs. So it's whoever has the most points wins. And you get one for a win, half for a tie, zero, obviously for a loss. And it is an opportunity to represent your country. And it's, I've never done it before, but it's been awesome to watch on TV

and something I've wanted to do forever. So essentially it's just America, verse VJ sit. Nice. You are dimplehead. I am a dimplehead. So is this, is this like, is this pre rider cup? Are you now, are you now going to be on rider cup next year? You've got to qualify for all that the same.

But I would very much like to play well this week. And at least kind of sneak my foot in that door as well. Okay. All right. So you heard it here first. Max Houma open to accepting an invitation to the rider cup if offered. Yeah. You, you're not closing that door.

That door is definitely, I'm going to leave it open until somebody shuts it on me. But I'm definitely open to for an invitation. I'm down. Who, who, who call, like, if you get invited to the rider cup, does someone actually call you and be like, Hey, you're invited? Yeah. They say, they send you a letter. You're invited and you just check yes or no, just like old school prom dates.

Yeah. I was going to say it would be a real shame if someone like pranked you and called you. I'll be meeting you. Like the Michael Scott thing. Yeah. Or the, the hires you or the other way around. Yeah. If someone, if someone pranked you and called you right around the rider cup and was like,

Hey Max, you're on the team, that would be a shame. I wouldn't want that to happen. I'll take any invitation. So I'll ride that high for the 30 seconds before I realize it's a prank. So I'll welcome that as well. What do you get if you win the president's cup? Pride. Oh, this is what I was going to say.

I'm glad I remember this. I'm going to do, Billy, I apologize for stolen valor. Oh, I'm sorry. Wearing, I'm, I'm representing my country and I understand that you have done that in a much, in a much higher way. Different type of uniform. Just want you to know I'm, I'm just representing you and all the sacrifices you've made for this country.

Thank you, Billy. It would be, it would be cool if the president's cup played for like the winning team gets the presidency. The winning team gets like the swing boat. Yeah. The winning team just gets to be like, they get to then decide out of the 12, like who's the president or that would winning, winning team gets Canada. Yeah.

I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to, you know, I'm not trying to tell the president's cup how to do their job, but that would get people watching. If it's like, Hey, your next president comes from the president's cup. God, that would be the worst Twitter day of my entire life. Politics Twitter is all time the worst. That'd be great. Max, just curious, have you ever, what's your, what's your policy on rope safety? Have you encountered any dangerous ropes recently on the golf course?

I've noticed you gotta keep, you gotta, you gotta keep your eyes closed when you walk near those things because they come out of nowhere, man. Those electric ones are especially bad. People don't understand how difficult this sport is on your body. You know, I know you guys grinded football all day yesterday, but you know, golf's nothing, nothing soft about it. You gotta be, you gotta be ready. That was a blindside blitz by the rope and nobody called it out.

Running back, ran away and it, it absolutely, that was a dangerous situation. It was targeting. I will stand up for Bryce a little bit that sometimes when, when there's a rope that you have to traverse and you find yourself in no man's land on, am I stepping over this rope or going under this rope, especially as other people are doing it? It gets tricky out there. You have to be on your toes. Well, he's a brave shithouse.

So maybe you just thought he could just run right through it, which is, I respect that move. He also probably had his eyes down looking for fire ants because he's, you know, had issues with that. So it was like, Oh, you got to look for the ropes too. Max, let's, let's make a headline for the show because you do listen to the show. How much has the live tour offered you? $1 billion. Really?

Holy shit. Allegedly. And did you, are you, are you entertaining the offer? I said, I'm, I'm two billion or nothing. Okay. Okay. All right. So we have a price.

So that's the headline. Max Homa, $2 billion will join the live tour. Sure. I mean, that's, I, listen, I, can we work our way in that? If they offer you $2 billion, could you hire us to work for you? Oh, oh yeah. At that point, at that point on it, it's a who, who cares at that point? We could do what we want.

We would be your, your exclusive media team. Yeah. And, and we would be, we'd only do Max Homa coverage and it would be a great match. I think if I know the Saudi Royal family or AWLs. So I, if you've been waiting to contact Max, please reach out to us directly and we'll handle the contract negotiation. But I think we can make that work. $2 billion to you and let's say $250 million to us.

That sounds, that sounds like a fair price. But big cat, I think you said you would never watch me play golf ever again if I joined. So it seems like you have a price for that. Well, I could follow you and just keep my eyes closed the whole time. Okay. Yeah, that actually works. Yeah, I just like, I would literally be like behind your catty and I just would never, I'd wear a blindfold.

That would, do you don't think people would tune in to watching me like run into ropes and trees? Yeah, right. It would be kind of fun to watch. Max, another important question we got to ask you. So you are about to have a child. Your wife is with child. When's the due date again?

November 2nd. Have you discussed with her that you need to play in the tournament right after because guys always play well after they have kids. Have you had that discussion yet? Yeah, she said, she said just get on out there. You know, she doesn't need any help. She would love to do this on her own. Okay, but like you have a window, you have a window of like two weeks, you got to play

and you got to win because otherwise, I think your child, your entire child's life is illegitimate if you don't win right after. Man, that's a lot of pressure. No, there's really no point in having to say no pressure. There's no point in having a child if you don't use your time. When you go on 11 in bets, oh, sorry, PFT. No, go ahead. You're going to make fun of me.

That's okay. On 11, yep. When you go on 11 in bets, does that put a damper on your kids' lives? Oh yeah, big time. They're, I mean, they're surrounded by a loser. You can't, that's a loo, that's loser energy in my house and they pick up kids or kids are like dogs. When dogs smell fear, they like go crazy, kids smell losers and they're like, oh, this is

bad. You die. You dogs smell fear. Yeah, absolutely. They smell earthquakes. They smell fear. They smell periods. They're very intense animals.

Yeah, they know everything. Talking about sharks. Yeah, sharks too. Yeah, they smell blood and bears. But my kids know when I lose because I'm a loser. And so, yeah, they're, your child will know if you are losing right after he is born and it will be bad for his future. Yeah, well, it's a, this is not going to be my line when I'm a dad.

It's to do as I say, not as I do type thing. So I'm going to tell him to be a winner even if I'm a loser. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I think what big cat's getting at is that if you have a child, you might as well use it to help you win a golf tournament. Right. Because it's kind of a wasted birth if your kid is just like, okay, yeah, your dad now,

big deal. But if you're not using that to actually win some, like $600,000 purse, then the kid's life, it's like, okay, it's just another baby. My wife has said the exact same thing and it's a waste of a birth if I do not win. Yes. And you also, I mean, listen, I'm not, you know, I want to forecast the future or you're playing great, but like having a child will give you a better chance of winning a major because we need the shot of like you and your wife and your child, like standing at the 18th

green and everyone's like, oh my God, look, this is so cute. Like that's just, you have a leg up now. So you better use it. I've heard that that is in a big part of momentum. And also I've heard a lot of guys see you get dad strength for a little bit. So maybe at Augusta, I'll just be bombing it out of nowhere. So I am looking forward to the, to the perspective I will gain and the dad strength. I think that those are the things I've been missing in the majors.

Yes. Yeah. Yes. Because you could basically say if you hit a bad shot, you're like, what do I care? I'm a dad. And then you'll hit a good shot because you don't care. And people can't talk trash to me because I'll be a father then. And you can't talk trash to father.

That's a fact. LeBron James taught me that. That's, that's, it's gotten so deep with the, whenever I'm like father or two, that I don't think people even realize that I'm making fun of LeBron who literally had that, like as a take, like don't talk to me like that. I'm a father of three. It's like most, most people in the world are dads. Yeah.

The majority of people in the world are dads. So that means we just can't talk shit about anyone. About anyone. Yeah. It's a good defense. Max, talk to me about what it's like if you're playing on a team, like how can you be, how is golf a team sport? If you're competing with like a bunch of other guys that you normally compete against every week.

And now it's like, okay, now you have to do like a national pride thing. Is there any team bonding experience you guys go through or how do you, how do you start to like each other? I assume we all sing the Star Spangled Banner every morning. So I'm looking forward to that. I think we eat immense amounts of bacon because that seems like a big thing Americans love. We just do a lot of things Americans love, overeating. And yeah, I gotta, I'm a rookie.

I'm just going to follow everyone's lead. But those are my assumptions at least at the beginning of this week. Yeah. Who's your favorite president? Oh, good question. Besides Trump, because I know you were about to say him, but everyone knows that besides him. Good question. I like that dude that writes his books that always talks shit to me.

That guy's a pretty cool dude. My favorite president, I'm going to have to go with Ronald Reagan because I've been to his, no, George Bush met him, not a humble brag, but met him. He's awesome. Okay. Who's your, who's your favorite teammate on this team? I'm looking at the team right now. There's some good, there's some good dudes on this team.

Yeah, they're all, they're, this is team unity. They're all my favorite. Okay. But who's your favorite? Um, probably, I've known JT the longest, probably JT. Okay. Who was making fun of my own 11. So you're not a big Patrick Cantley guy.

Okay. So watch out for that. If he goes up with Patrick, they're probably not going to have great team chemistry. I always like it when they have the captains of the team, like in the Ryder Cup and the captains are like riding around on the golf carts, with their walkie talkies communicating to me. What are they doing? How much like in-game coaching or captaining can you do in those types of tournaments?

I'm glad you asked that. I actually am very much looking forward to figuring out what, what that is that they do. So I'm excited to see that up close. Yeah. I mean, it is, it is very funny because golf is just not a team sport, but it is funny when we get these tournaments. I'm, I mean, Quail Hollow, one of my favorite courses. Exactly.

One of mine too. I'm glad, I'm glad we, we share our love for Quail Hollow. Yeah. I, I actually, if I had to do like Mount Rush from our courses, I think Quail Hollow is on there. Is that set up to be like, is that a, is that a homosexual course or is it a homophobic course? I actually have one here. So I would say homosexual, two thumbs up. We knew that.

We knew you had one there. Your home track. Yeah. When, what was that tournament? What tournament did you win? The Wells Fargo in 2019. Oh, the fifth major. Yes, exactly.

Yeah. I'm glad, I'm glad you're getting, you are a Difflehead. Like you said, you're really getting that. I remember that tournament. Yeah. Me too. You won. Yeah, exactly. It's incredible.

What's, what's one tournament? If you could, if you could pick one tournament to win, what's, what's the one that you have your eyes set on? If it can only be like the master's, the open? First off, sorry if you have this vibe, like two minutes. Yeah. But then, so yeah, if I had to win one tournament, I would be the president's cup.

Wow, great answer. That is a great answer. The sixth major. Yeah. The sixth major. Yeah. All right. Max.

His count is a major win if we win this, even though I have 11 teammates. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, sure. I mean, it counts as a win for us for the USA. Absolutely. Yes. Yes.

Especially for Billy. Yes, especially for Billy. All right. So last question, because Max has to go, he just won the fortnight. He's the man about town. Roback question, RHO, BACK, use code TAKE for 20% off your first purchase, roback.com, promo code TAKE for 20% off your first

purchase, QZIPs, hoodies, polos, everything. Max, I actually don't even have a last question, other than like, go get them. Do you want to use, do you have anything on your mind? Do you want to get off, you know, like anything that you wanted to tell the people about the support? And are we being positive, negative? How are we feeling going this week?

I think, well, there's no cut this week. I think as usual, Thursday, Friday positive. You can do whatever you want, Saturday, Sunday. Except I did win a golf tournament last week without Billy posting an absolutely vulgar, disgusting animal video. So I think I've gotten over that hump. So if you could just keep those to yourselves, that'd be great, but anything else goes.

What about, okay, I understand that, but what if Billy posts like a really metal bald eagle video of a bald eagle for the USA? Okay, actually, that would be great. If you guys could make Billy do that, that would be awesome. Okay. All right, Billy, that's your assignment. But not hitting something with a lot of blood. Yeah, minimal blood. Minimal blood.

Minimal blood. And Max has got this. All right, so Max, good luck at the President's Cup. Thank you. I mean, literally our country's on the line. So no pressure again. Also really, like, do think about this whole having a kid and then playing a tournament right after because we'd like to win

some money off you. So make sure that you get that squared away with the wife before the child does arrive because we need you, like, child born on a Tuesday, you're playing on Thursday. We need that. I will. I will pass along that message. Yeah.

You know how that goes. Listen, I placed bets in the delivery room of my first child being born. So like, you have no excuse. You got to keep working. No excuses. Yes, my son would want that kind of grit out of his dad. So I'll give it my best shot.

OK, perfect. Thank you, Max. All right. Thank you, Max. We appreciate it. Thank you for winning us money yesterday also. Yes. Yes.

I'll send you that $25, $12.50 each as soon as possible. Yeah. And maybe do, like, call back the live tour because $2 billion would be. Sounds nice. We'll do it. We'll each take $50 million and just follow you around everywhere. And that will be our life.

And we'll all be happy and we'll be like best friends. It'll be so funny. And it'll be, ha, ha, ha, that's cool. All right, I'm all in. OK, perfect. All right. Thank you, Max. Max Homa, champion.

It's our new segment on Wednesdays. We have Josh Allen. One question with the quarterback. Josh, how sweet was that game last night?

It's pretty sweet. It's pretty sweet. Boys got after it, made some plays. Bill's mafia was incredible per usual. It was a good time. Awesome. All right, Josh, my one question. Are you him? I think there's too many hymns right now.

Yeah, it's like church. There's a lot of them going around. I think, you know, if everybody's great, nobody's great. So we gotta, there's got to be a new word, you know? Mm-hmm. Well, we're out of questions. Yeah, so I don't know. First of all, I didn't know what him was.

I was hoping that you would explain that to me in my answer, but I like too many hymns. Yeah. Too many hymns. That's kind of the consensus around the league right now. There's a lot of guys that are him, you know? Yeah. Usually him is, you know, the one guy.

That's him. Yeah, that is him. But you're us, though. The bills are us. The bills are us, yes. Yeah, I can agree with that. My one question for you guys. Oh, okay, yeah, that's good.

All right, yeah, yeah, one question. You only get one, though. One for each? No, no, one for the show. What was your, your guys' betting record in the NFL this weekend? Oh, good question. I was six and five after an 0 and 11 start. So, but we'll focus on the six and five.

0 and 11 is pretty tough. That's hard to do. That's hard to do. It's actually impressive. I'd rather be 0 and 11 than six and five, because 0 and 11 at least is a story. I was two and nine going into last night, and I bet on the Titans.

So, fuck you. Yeah, I guess so. That's why I like Caleb better, I guess. Yeah, we like Caleb more than us, too. So, same as these. Okay, same as these. That was one question with Josh Allen. Thank you, Josh.

We appreciate it. We had Jared last week. I can't guarantee that you won't be called again when we run out of people to call. That's fine, I'm always here, you know that. All right, thank you, Josh. Thanks, Josh. Have a good one.

We got FAQs, Henry. Yeah. Let's do it. Uh, I'm just reading this for the first time. Is Big Cat willing to do with, these are FAQs. Is Big Cat willing to do a three to four year long pinky bet with the entirety of Minnesota sports teams? Oh, my God.

Minus the links were actually good. What city slash state would he feel the safest with over these next few years? It would be Minnesota, but I think the Timberwolves could be, like, they could get a little oppity. No, I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it for, I'm not going to, I'm very secure in the fact that I have the pinky bet. It's going to be a yearly thing.

I will probably die without a tip of my pinky, but I also think I can make it probably about 20 years picking the correct team that sucks out of the gate. Like the Raiders are not winning the soup ball. They're not. I would say now are we including like college basketball in this or only professional sports? Or Minnesota college basketball is not winning.

Idaho would be pretty safe as a state. Yeah, but they don't have any professional teams. Yeah, you got a little professional teams. Good point, Billy. Yeah, I think Minnesota would be the pick. I think they'd have to be the pick. Michigan. I don't know.

My guy Scott Harris just got named team president for the Tigers. He's going to, he's going to put that team back on the right track and the Lions, Jared Goff. Hmm. Uh, Arizona might be up there too. Arizona is up there. Sneakily, Texas is up there. Yeah.

I mean, Illinois is definitely on there. Like Texas. Texas is actually in bad shape right now. Yeah. Yeah. As a state. Yeah. Yeah.

There's just too many teams that would be playing. That would be rolling the dice. That'd be Russian roulette with like four bullets in the chain. Yeah. But still as a program, Texas, the state is in bad sports shape. Yeah. Actually, the answer might be Illinois. There's no team close right now.

Seattle. The state of Washington. No, the Mariners, dude. Mariners were my preseason World Series champion. They can play all. Do you think they can win it all? Why not? They've been playing their asses off.

That's a good question though. I'll think about it more. Will the whole PMT crew, will the whole PMT crew move to when Big Cat goes to Chicago? Also, hope Stella's doing well. Oh, thank you. Yes. And we're going to have a sick office. Anything else?

I'm going to move. Yeah. Hank's going to move. I'm actually, I might move before Big Cat moves. Yeah. Squatter's right. No, I might be. I might be missed.

You know what I should do? I've been trying to think like, OK, Chicago. A walk. I'm not a Chicago guy. Never been to Chicago. What can I do to make myself a Chicago guy? I might grow a mustache. I might grow a mustache out.

You gain like 100 pounds. I might, well, yeah, I'll probably do that like accidentally. Yeah. But I might just grow a mustache out. Yeah. I feel like that's one thing you have to have when you move into the city limits. We've been working on looking for offices.

Think fantasy factory like basketball courts. PFT is going to have a fucking music studio that he can record music anytime he wants. Golf simulator. Just some real fucking cool shit. What are you going to say, Billy? Is there going to be a gym? Yes.

There will be a gym. Free weights. Yes. Squat racks. Yes. Yes. Yes. NFL training facilities.

Yes. But smaller? Yes. Think like high school. It's going to be bro sweet. That shitty high school gym. It's going to be bro sweet. Yes.

Are there any interviews you have done aside from Daniel's area that you haven't aired yet? Why not? Uh-oh. I think we can tell one of them now. There was one. There's been two that I can think of. I can think of like four.

College basketball. No, did we hear him? No. No, we didn't. Yeah, that one was tough. College basketball, Pudger Rodriguez. That one, he just didn't speak English and we thought he did.

And then, yeah, big poppy. So big poppy came in and we were, it was in person. And I like big poppy. I do too. He was, I think there was some shit going on that day. I think he might have been going through a divorce during that time. He literally sat down.

We asked him a question. He took out his phone and he started scrolling on his phone while we were asking him questions. So me and PFT just looked at each other and were like, okay. And I think maybe seven minutes in. I was like, all right, last question. I think it was the next question.

Yeah, it was like last question. Thanks so much, big poppy. See you later. It was like, cool. I remember after he was going through his phone and like texting and doing all this, like very clearly not paying attention, I was, I asked him, so you and Jared do a great podcast.

You have people on there all the time doing interviews. Have you ever had somebody on that just like is completely checked out and not listening to what you guys are asking them? And he was like, no, they've all been cool as he's like going through his phone completely checked out. And I wanted, I kind of wanted to put that clip out there, but you know, he was doing a podcast with us at the time. Yeah.

And he's, I still like him. I do too. I think he was having a bad day. I think he was having a bad day. And we recognized almost immediately that this was the dumbest thing to do to try to stretch out an interview. And we almost had like me, PFT and Hank all looked at each other were like, we're not airing this.

So let's just end this right now. Hey, was there any others? Pudra Rodriguez. There's one other one I can think of that. You don't want to say? No. Why? Hoomst.

I can't think of it. Bleep it. Say it and bleep it. Oh, yeah. That was just us being idiots. Well, we should have them on. We should actually have them back. Yeah, we just, yeah.

Okay. That would be funny bleep. People are not going to know what that is. What? We just, we forgot. And then it just became like a time thing. So that was stupid of us. And they also, I think by the time that we were going to put it out,

they had done other interviews and they had said a lot of the same stuff that they said on our show. And so we should have them back. That was stupid of us. That was all on us. That was a total opposite of a big poppy thing. Appreciate the grind. All of y'all do.

What's a typical Sunday night look like during NFL season for everyone? When do you think of all the fastest two minutes? I mean, yeah, this is actually good because I had someone tweet me the other day. They're like, do you, I think it was a new ADWO. They were like, do you record after all the games? Like, yeah. Yeah. So we, we watched the first games beginning to end.

We used to do it a little differently. We did. Did we? We did. Yeah. What, what were we used to do? Way back in the day, we used to try and record something like after four o'clock. Oh yeah.

For seven o'clock. I think season one, that's what we did. Yeah. Season one of part of my take. But we start, we start writing the boomers typically around half time of the late games. Like the four o'clock games. And then sometimes Nick helps out with those. Yep.

Nick's been a huge help ghostwriting with us. We basically sit there in the gambling cave while the games are on, just shooting ideas back and forth, eye type. And then we just, yeah, we just like say, all right, this game. And then we just all throw out ideas. Max was about to. Jake and Billy help. Hank helps.

Max was about to come over and record us while we were doing the boomers last week. And then me and Big Cat looked at each other and we were like, you know what, we have, we say a lot of bad things when we're just spitballing. It's a free, it's a, it's a free, it's a safe space. It's a safe space where we have some of the jokes are uncouth. Yes. There was, there was one in particular last Sunday where I think the entire room just went. Yeah.

And I'll say what, what is it? We were working on some Kobe helicopter material that we decided not to put in. Yeah. So yeah, we know where the line is, but we also have to push past the line to then come back to the appropriate stuff. Yeah. You always have to, you guys have to be able to land it well. Yeah.

One comment is someone who watched it happen. The flow state that they get in is fascinating. Yeah. Flow state. I like flow state. Well, they come up with ideas and you can tell it gets progressively like. Yeah, right. It starts flowing faster.

Yeah, it's like, it's usually like one person says one thing, then one person tweaks it a little, then another person tweaks a little more, and then you get the full sentence and then we put it all together. And it is, it is like the most collaborative thing we do in terms of like everyone just pitching in. Jake's been very helpful. Yeah. Very helpful, especially like this year, he's come prepared. Yeah.

And then so I would imagine it no other way. Yeah. So ideally we finish the boomers by about like seven o'clock, then we will kind of like half watch Sunday Night Football while we're getting everything else ready. And then on a good day, we'll start recording around half time a Sunday Night Football. Sometimes we don't record till after Sunday Night Football. So we're usually done around 1.30 and then Max and Memes and Evan are here till fucking four or five. It's a long, it's a long, long day.

Like I leave my house at like 11.30 in the morning. I don't get home till two. But it's also one of those things like we get to watch football for a living. So can't complain. Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah, but it is a lot of fun. And then every morning I'll wake up because you go to bed, you lay down. It's like two o'clock in the morning.

You don't really fall asleep until like three sometimes because you're coming down off the show. And then you wake up in the morning at like eight and you see the most recent text is like from Max or Memes at like 7am, 6.30am, sending clips over. It's like, oh, shit, they didn't go to bed at all tonight. Yeah, it's it's one of those things that somewhere around the middle of the season. I'm sure people see like there'll be one or two shows where we'll just be like tired and and like agitated. It's because we're tired and agitated, but it is it is the best job in the world. That it? Oh, I'm with that.

Okay, great. Will you have any other input on Sundays? They're long days. They're wars. Yeah, I mean, obviously I this is the first year I've not been the person editing the podcast. And the difference between going to sleep at three o'clock and the difference between going to sleep at like seven o'clock is is profound life changing. Yeah. Yeah, I'm also I've it would fuck up my whole week.

I've gotten to a point where I think I'm just like a five hour, six hour sleep guy. Because I a rod said that to me back in the day. I never understood I don't know six hours a day. And I remember looking at him being like what I'm tired always. But I've been I mean the last like week and a half I've been on six hours of sleep. And I haven't been like I feel like I need to like crash. So maybe I've just reprogrammed my brain. I've been feeling better this year too.

Yeah, this year. But I think it's early. It's very early. Super early. But but shifting the long macro dosing to recording on Wednesday. Yeah, as opposed to Monday. That that probably has a lot to do with it. Yeah, yeah, it is early.

And I always have to get up early now. So yeah, but we love it. There's no no complaints. OK, numbers. Hank, have you ever won this? Oh, oh, we're back to the orange balls, though. Yeah. These are regulation.

Hank was like, fuck, the blue balls didn't work for me. Six minutes. Got to get a new sponsor. Yeah. I'm going to go with 91. What's Philly's area code? 215. I'll go with 15.

19. Tebow. 26. You're going to force my hand. I'll go with 21. Oh, nice. OK. What was your number, Hank?

19. 19. 19. And I said 91. Oh, 99. Damn. Not 66. 66.

Not 99. Is it? No, it's 66. Wait. Fact check. 66. That sucks for whoever had 99. That's tough.

You had a moment. Second time in a week. You've done that. Yeah. You did it last week. Yeah. Steve Harvey hanging it. Whatever.

My eyes are. What's the 66? Ever been gone? Fourth time. Fourth time. Wow. Love you guys. Tennessee Cave Salamanders may go their whole life

without ever seeing sunlight. Wow. That's incredible. We do have breaking news. What? Just real quick. Arthur Smith says that he's going to bring Will Compton in for a workout next week.

Oh, hell yeah. So. That's probably not for the podcast. You're 10 loading. No, I said, can we report this coach? He said, absolutely. Oh, OK. So breaking news.

Breaking news. You're 10 loading. Will Compton being brought in for a workout by the Dynamic Atlanta Falcons. That's a whore. I mean, yeah. What? What?

Oh, we're still recording. Cole Beasley. Hasn't he basically said he's not? I guess he's been training. No, he's been training. Cole Beasley may be going to the Bucks as well. Wow. At least that actually might be official.

For me to eat. That's great. He's probably going to live with him.
