of my take. Okay. Let's go. It's part of my take. There's an about parts to the sports. I Welcome to part of my take today is fria October 13th and It hurts me to say this But Max was right congrats Max was right the bank won tonight and Max was right more than anything Our big long debate, which I'm sure some people didn't love on on Wednesday show I thought it was very funny. It was the epitome of this show

debating stupid things over and over. Max said that after game two, Cassianos barreled one up, and that was good vibes. What did Cassianos do the next two games? He hit four home runs. Someone has to be dead in the world right now. Somebody very important passed away

for Cassianos to go on this tear that he's been on. Congrats, Max. Congrats, Max. You sped- You sped- You sped- the braves if it had to take you spitting in my face to do it I'm sorry about the spit I forgive you what happened it's too much to explain I got I got mad it's really not very said well Castellos hit a home run you spit on pft well it was I was yelling I was yelling. You hocked a loop. You hocked a loop.

You hit on PFT. I know, but the home run was because he said that we weren't getting barrels and that. Yeah, and which is a trigger word for Max. We don't say barrel. Don't say barrel. He's a barrel-chested man. Yeah.

But Max stood up, started screaming. And with Max, you know how the line between anger and pure joy is very much blurred. It's like the horseshoe theory on one side you're happy on one side you're sad. When Max gets so happy he actually gets furious and so he just starts screaming and then a luge about the size of a silver dollar flew out of his mouth and I was in the splash zone. He didn't mean to. It wasn't intentional spit. But he spit on it. But my arm got spat on nonetheless.

I disinfected it. I burned my arm. So I think you are, you have been sick for the last six weeks. So, no, I feel good. Whatever you got, I got. So Max, congratulations. Take down the braves. Bloopy beside himself.

Oh, I didn't. Yeah, he tweeted something like see in a couple weeks. Cowered's way out. Where's that mean? I don't know. I don't know, but we gotta read some of the replies to that. He's a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a

little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a Well, that's fucked up. That's right. I also was not really a bad old friend. You and Hank. He's our date. Everybody has never been on the show. Yeah, we love Dan. I was one of our first guests. Dan Herron. Great guy. Dan Herron. I you guys don't remember this. We also went to battle last year. Because he

said that Rob Thompson Thompson wasn't a good manager. Uh-huh. And then we started fighting. And then I went in the when the Philia kept winning. I kept tweeting at him. What do you think about Rob Thompson now? What do you think about Rob Thompson now? So it didn't see any of the replay he replied. He replied to all Max first

Dan here. Okay. That's what this is about. Okay. I'm excited. Max. I'm happy for you. I really am.

Again, love the fillies. They seem to have good vibes. They're an easy team to root for. Also what we learned, the series, Braves kind of soft, kind of complainers. Yeah. They, you like to complain. And listen, if you're Braves fan,

you won a World Series a couple of years ago, be happy with that. But now, you seem pretty soft this postseason, between the complaining about a reporter tweeting out an accurate statement from the clubhouse and you're broke the sanctity of the clubhouse law give me fucking break number one on that and then yeah we're saying it was a sespa this bbq guy yeah yeah and they just tweeted out what the guys are job and then the brave fans acted like who is the person that said it uh... rc rc they acted like our r RC had to be protected because English is in his first language

Which is like how could you do this when he can't defend him? It's like he said it. He actually said so it's like a report Whatever the second thing Was it a kune yet tonight that held up the iPad for the television cameras being like look that wasn't a strike that they called on me Like he held up a camera To be or he held up an iPad to the camera to say look I was right the umpires are on Do you think they have a red carpet waiting for them at home? I don't know they should make a carpet. I do out of bloopie's skin Okay, it's fur Max. I know you won't agree with any this. I do feel bad for braids fans baseball losses

like quick baseball losses are the most painful because you spend an entire summer invested in a team 162 games. One of the best offenses of all time and then you go out like that. Like what they would they end up scoring and there are three losses. Would they score three runs? Yeah, they scored zero runs game one two game three and one tonight. That's tough. That's tough. That's very tough. It's in the history of baseball. Yeah, and it's just like that. It's over. And you're like the whole season is for not. But the Phillies keep going. The bank stood up statement games from the bank. We got home we got home field against the Dbacks.

The Dbacks don't care. Rangers. Debacks don't care. Yeah, no against the Dbacks. The Dbacks don't care. The Dbacks don't care. The Dbacks don't care. The Dbacks don't care. The Dbacks are scary. The Dbacks are scary. They're very sad. I'm not getting Zach Gowon is for real. I'm not looking at that at that team lightly at all.

And fought. Yeah, but you get to reset. You get a weekend off. The weekend off. Like I'm not kidding. The weekend, I'm so looking forward to a weekend of not having my blood pressure at, I don't even know.

People were saying you might have a heart attack. So I could. I should wear a, what are those things? Heart attack. I'm struggling with words. I'm hard to even say. I'm struggling with words. I'm hard to even say.

I'm struggling with words. I'm hard to even say. I'm struggling with words. I'm hard to even say. I'm struggling with words. I'm hard to even say. I'm struggling with words. I'm hard to even say. I'm struggling with words. I'm hard to even say. I think Thursday night is game three will make will stream that okay, and then we'll figure out from there That sounds that sounds great. You people break back talk to me Three emotions when you go back and you watch yourself on stream like later after the fact

I tried not to I tried not to watch any of it because it It's not it's it's never like a pretty sight I'm never doing something that I look at although the jump the jump I might I may be like that I was never doing something that I look at. Although the jump, the jump I might, I may be like that is okay. You got a few mad air dude. You were sick. I like the shirt rip off too.

That's just primal. That's just, that's just, you thought about doing it tonight. I was so close to doing it and I was like, do not be more sane. You look strong. I know, that's what I'm saying. Like, I can't do it again because that's all angles.

I got a good angle and you don't wanna, you don't wanna keep testing. don't want to keep testing. You look like Alex Jones after his diet. He's just flexing a little harder and a little bit more. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also before his diet. And before his diet. Same thing.

Yeah, I'm fine with that build. Yeah. All right, so the Phillies are into the NLCS. We're going to talk more baseball with our good friend, Jared Crabbs coming up. There was a football game tonight and The Broncos are officially like the saddest team in the world so sad so sad so Russell Wilson stinks He's he stinks. He's wearing a wristband though. Do you see his wristband? He's wearing a wristband

There's like size 0.008 font. Yeah, every play on it. He's he's he turtles so fast in the pocket. He threw for 95 yards. It was not even like I know that it looks. If you look at it in 1988, no, it was never close. The the cheese were up 16. Nothing for what felt like the entirety of the game until the Broncos scored with like five minutes left. But yeah, the the Broncos are tied now for the worst start and franchise history. Sean Peyton, like, I think they might bench Russell Wilson. They might, he's played himself out of a Hallfim career as well.

They might, and also Sean Peyton called, maybe the worst timeout that I've ever seen in a football game tonight. Did it matter? Well, at the time it did. Yeah. It was at the end of the second quarter, and there were 22 seconds left, and the Broncos

were about, I think they were about to punt, and they called a time out, and then they gave the Chiefs the ball. It made zero sense. And then the Chiefs kicked like a 60-yard field goal that would have been good from 80. And then the game was over. Also, Andy Reed, I think Andy Reed is bored with the NFL. I think Andy Reed has, he's made himself play the NFL on expert mode with the weird shit that he's obsessed with doing.

Because I think that this chief's offense, if they wanted to play just normal football, would have beaten the fuck out of the Broncos. It could have been 30, 40 point win, but they do all these weird plays almost like Andy is just like, he's playing with his food. He's like, I know I'm going to win. So I'm just going to get really weird with it. And maybe in practice, maybe the chiefs are so, so bored winning games normally that in practice.

And he's like, I got to, I got to do something fun to keep these guys attention on football. Yeah. So I'll just, I'll do like double pass back and have my backup wide receiver throw a screen to my running back and then get like three tight ends out in space blocking for him. It's crazy. It's wild. It's crazy. Patrick Holmes now, he is still never lost to the Denver Broncos, which is insane stat. I think he's 16 and 0 now.

The last time the Broncos beat the cheese was paid manning. That's crazy. It's nuts. That's such utter domination. 2015. Part of my take didn't exist. Part of my take didn't exist the last time the Broncos beat the chiefs.

That is insane to think about. It's insane to think about. I was 23. Am I not existing? The next time that's gonna be so long. That's fucked up, huh? Yeah, what the fuck, Hank? You trying to have a show?

No, I'm saying my home's got a long career ahead. You're trying to split up the show right? All right my bad. That was unnecessary Henry. These are my favorite things to look at. No, I just whatever what I was thinking like 15 years You might not be alive. How about that? I might not be alive I know this might be the last time the Broncos beat the chiefs. They made it the chiefs I call today the present The Broncos made the rivalry. It was when they last beat the chiefs It was 57 55 all-time chiefs and now it is 72 55. That's very sad. That's very very sad over that close Also Taylor sources out at the game tonight. She was in the box

So is Brittany my homes showed her a lot. They showed Taylor and Brittany embracing a little bit up in the box Do you think they're actually they looked like they were friends they did I? Is that a show for the cameras? I might I might have to wait to see if maybe show me a video actually no show me an Instagram post Where they each take pictures of themselves with each other where they post a picture where their friend looks way less cute than they do And then I'll know their best friends. Yes. Post the worst picture of them on their friend's birthday but you look good. Exactly.

That's how you know that it's real. Yes. Hopefully we don't get canceled for that one. I would like to see. I think I see the real picture. I think every woman listening to the show is like, yeah, that's what we're do. You're right.

Okay. What else before we get to the week six picks a preview? Oh, does our ad going today? Yes, Friday 13th. Yeah, double. All right, we decided I'm excited. We've got some part copies too.

You know, you know, I didn't I didn't know you bet West Virginia. I didn't have a bet on the game. I just, you know, like the Friends of our show.

Yeah, well, we have a lot of friends in West Virginia too. So stuff. Yeah, that was tough. My bad. That was crazy. I mean, that was college football. It's fine as a clean shot. Hank, that was a college football. It's fine as a clean shot. Hank, that was a college football. It's fine. I actually didn't know it was just a crazy. No, I know it's nuts. I and also you can't be mad about it. If you had West Virginia, because you should never have even

been in a spot to cover. And then Houston had a Hail Mary with seven seconds left. Squib kicks, Squib kicks, Squib your kicks. I'm happy for Dana though. The first win in the big 12. I'm happy for Coach Dana. He is our good friend. Okay, let's kick it to ourselves.

Week six, picks and preview. I actually got a question about that. Do you think that Dana would get more drunk after a heartbreaking loss to West Virginia or after a miracle win against West Virginia? Miracle win. That was a drinking win. Yeah, he's a he'll be drunk too.

But it is so fast. How like it's crazy how fast it goes. I just hate it when you say I know you hate it when I say it, but I use it. I don't see it as a negative.

I see it as an embrace every moment. Smell the roses. We love football. Football's on. We're a day, whatever. 10 of 50 straight football days. Just, you know, stop and have a moment where you're like, oh, yeah, this is awesome. This is what I like about life. Tell you what, a third of the way through, I can live with that. Yeah. If you pull the thing where you say we're halfway done, I'm probably going to burn the studio down. All right, so then I'll go two thirds. If you pull the thing where you say we're halfway done, I'm probably going to burn

the studio down. All right, so then I'll go two thirds. I'll just go, we're one, we just, after this weekend, we've hit the first period. Okay. All right, yeah, the regular season. We still have a whole month after that. Of course. What a regular season.

What a good point. And then there's Mark's madness after that. We're fun. Yeah. Sunday's race. You know, they're the best. They're the best. Okay. First game. London game.'re the best. They're the best. Okay, first game London game another London game

Ravens at Titans I have a couple things about this game first is the travel schedule definitely favorite favors the Ravens I looked into it without a doubt Ravens flew on Monday Titans flew on Thursday night Thursday night after practice after practice I went back. I did some research actually on the Ravens and their travel record and how they do. So they played, the last time they played in London was 2017. They went there on Thursday night.

That was Harboss strategy. That was the worst loss that John Harboss ever had in his career as a head coach. They lost 40, 47 to the Jaguars. This year, they're going early, they already went there, they've been there. It's Monday. They've been acclimated to British life right now. I don't know why the Titans are flying out.

They did it last time they went there in a loss. I don't know why teams do that. But it was a two, they failed the two point conversion with time running out. So when Vrable was asked about this, he's like, yeah, the only difference is we're gonna try to get the two point conversion this time. So that's perfect Vrable was asked about this, he's like, yeah, the only difference is we're gonna try to get the two point conversion this time. So that's that's perfect Vrable answer. Yeah. Because his explanation for it was

just basically, we're going full speed ahead this week. Yeah. He's just like, fuck it. That's his strategy is fuck it. Losers complain about time zones. But in this case, I don't know why a team wouldn't choose to go out there earlier in the world. It doesn't make unless it's the owner saying we don't want to pay for hotels for it. Yeah, I don't know. Still, it doesn't make any sense. And in fact, get there. So the Titans practice this week with their throwback helmets on.

They're spending more time getting ready for their throwback helmets next week. That's smart. Then they are. But that is smart. It is smart. Then they are about this week. So I'm going to hammer the throwback uniforms against the Falcons next week. But this week, Mike, come on.

Yeah, Ravens first, get your ass on a plane. Mega lock. Okay, so here's my take. I'm kind of sick of the London game. And let me just explain it before anyone gets, tells me I'm wrong. I like the early football. It's fun. I'm sick of the fact that they have made something

that was unique and different into just every week. When it was like twice a year and it was spaced out, it was kind of cool. Like, oh shit, we got a bonus game. This is the third week in a row. They're just changing the schedule on us. They're slowly getting our brains ready for football at 8.30 in the morning.

I don't know. I just, I like how cool and unique it was, and now it doesn't feel cool and unique. It just feels like a burden. It's like interleague play. Right. So what's probably gonna happen is in the next two to three years, there might be four games, four games a season over there.

I think next week is there not the German again? Well, the Germany, I'm talking about London. not the Germany. I'm talking about London. Yeah, there's a third in a row. Yeah, so it's a third in a row. Next year, they'll be four in a row. You're after that, maybe five in a row. And next thing you know, we're going to have a team in London. We're not even going to notice. We're just going to be ready for it. I know. So I'm saying right now, I noticed. Yeah, I noticed. I noticed what you're doing NFL. There's nothing I can do to stop it But count me in the in the group of people who noticed so it used to be that they would screw over like two teams a season Right travel schedule now they're screwing over I think seven or eight teams So it's like a third of the league is getting boned on this London European football. No, we're going week week nine and

Week 10 and week 10. Yeah, so week nine is that also is that that's Germany and then week 10 is yeah, so they're going back to back again. So this is going to be five out of seven weeks that again, I don't I like more football. Different time slots. I think that if if the NFL really smart, what they would do is adopt more of like a college football schedule. Yeah, if we played 12 o'clock Eastern was like four games 330 Eastern was like another four games a couple games at six and then one game at eight. Yeah, that would be cool Yeah, and it's not it does feel like more football

But we forget it's the exact same amount of football that we'd have. It's just at different times. But yeah, it's just lost the allure. It used to be something very cool. Like, whoa, this is so unique. Now it's just, oh, another Sunday. Yep, they're playing a weird game over in London. People in the West Coast, they get bombed by this heart of the name, buddy.

We're gonna stand up for the West Coast a little bit. Well, I don't like when West Coast people are like, oh, it's the best time zone. And then you just say, like, oh, so what are you doing for Monday night football? Like, oh, I'm sitting on the 405. Yeah, or coming home for more. Or what do you do for London football? London Morning Football.

What do you do for college football? Yeah, starts at 9 a.m. Yeah, you can't tailgate for something. Although I guess you could make, you could make a argument that you could just stay up all night drunk and then roll right into football. I also don't think people in LA are getting up at, You can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can you can You're gonna have to watch. Okay. Nerdnugget for this game. The Ravens have rushed for at least 100 yards in 21 straight games. Marking NFL's longest active streak. San Francisco is second with 11 games.

Okay. Okay. Good nerdnugget. There was, there was the clip of Joey Porter telling Odele Beckham, like go spend more time with your family. Yeah. After the end of that game, it occurred to me yesterday what he was talking about. He was probably telling him to go ask his dad to cut up more highlights of him being open. Mm-hmm. Downfield. That's what that meant. Odell was open a couple times and you get fooled by the screenshots where they have like, okay, this wide receivers wide open on this play. They're like, why can't you throw it to that guy? It was, it was a great game. The Raven Steeler's game of, do you watch Ballboro? Because if you just look at the box score, you can be like Lamar sucked.

Yeah. And if you watch the game, you're like you just look at the box score, you can be like, Lamar sucked. Yeah. And if you watch the game, you're like, Lamar was not the problem. They're receivers. I think it's a bounce back game for the Ravens receivers. I think they're going to catch everything. Well, they can't drop as many passes as they did last week. They definitely can.

I don't know. I think they absolutely could. I think they matched out on that one. I do like the Ravens, though, and I'm entirely basing this on travel. Yes, Hank What are you gonna say? I mean last week was as bad as it gets, but it could get worse. I don't know I really don't think it could yeah, you could try they could try they could definitely try Okay, next game see hawks at Bengals

We have DK mechaf saying that David with their spoon will make the we'll get the best of Jamar chase and then Jamar chase Retweeted that clip on his Twitter. So he saw it. It's the Legion of Spoon. Yeah I had a dream and this is I get a dream bet once every I'd say I don't know eight nine months and my dream Bet's always hit so this is official PFT dream bet bet that I'm putting out in my sleep last night Before DK Metcalf put this out there So this is official PFT dream bet bet that I'm putting out in my sleep last night before DK Metcalf put this out there. I dreamt that Witherspoon was going to put the absolute clamps on Jamar Chase in the game.

I dreamt a post game press conference with with Jamar Chase being frustrated with him asking if he was always open this game. I had the entire thing say no. Yeah, he was like no, got it. He said hats off to Devon weather Spence off hats off. So I'm betting the under on his receiving yards this week That's just I got a fall of the system. I think I'm two and a lifetime on dream beds. There's also Potential weather weather isn't real, but there is potential weather this time of year we're starting to get a weather time

I think there might be some winds Joe Burrow though Looks like he's fully healthy was in practice this week not wearing anything on his leg. His leg does look skinnier, but he doesn't, he was moving around. He didn't have the brace on, he didn't have the sleeve on his calf. Yeah.

So I think Joe Burrow, he did the impossibly, played himself back into health. Yeah, he played football until he was no longer injured from playing football. Yeah, this is going to be a big test though for the Bengals. Yeah, part of me says who the Bengals are back and then you got to remember they also did play the Cardinals. Right. Who are feisty, but what the card is? They are the Cardinals. Jamal Adams is back apparently.

Let's play. I think he's back. Let's boy. And it's very disrespectful, but it's very, but it's very, but it's also very true. That's a means original, isn't it? Did you call Blitzboy? No. Maybe Jack, Jack inquired it. Someone, someone on our bar, the bar still made a cow,

started calling him Blitzboy a few years ago. He blitzed. And I just love it. It's like Slantman and Blitzboy. Yeah. The two, the two Avengers. He also has the NFC. Jamal Adams, you should take away some of your

Perifinilion your arms until you start playing well again like he has way too much stuff going on He I think he has like six or seven weird arm bands. Yeah, you got to you got to minimize that until you start playing well Then you can add them back so the theme of this week is travel in the NFL So I looked up more travel information about the Seahawks. They've won 15 of their last 18 early kickoffs when it's 10 a.m. Pacific time. And the Seahawks are 16 and 4 including playoffs in the Eastern time zone since 2018 because Pete has them travel early.

Yeah. Pete gets it. Yeah. I'm betting. I'm doing all these games on travel this week. Travel. The theme of your week. The theme of my week. Traveling dreams.

Traveling dreams. Uh, okay. What's your, uh, nerd nugget? Since the start of the 2020 season, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has 18 touchdown passes of 40 or more yards, which is the most in the NFL. That was a hiccup from Max. Sorry. I'm, it's, it's, what's wrong?

He throws deep. He throws deep. Yeah, he throws deep. I even hear it. I didn't even hear this nerd nugget cuz I was just sorry Big week. I'm sorry. No, I the hiccups the hiccups. I'm a big just one hicc whatever one hiccup No, I don't think I don't ever done what you'll see I won't I won't hiccup again the rest of the show I just feels like it's just like I like this bet that feels like it's just food bubbling over feels like it's just food bubbling over. Did you just eat lunch?

50 bucks. 50 bucks. Can I tailhank? All right, I'll tell Max. All right. I don't know a fucking hiccup. I'm not going to. I heard a very funny hiccup story about a guy that used to be on our podcast, William

Football. Apparently, after the Water Dogs lost the championship game, it was a very somber mood in the dogs locker room. And the coach was giving a post game speech, thanking them for everything they did. And just like pouring his heart out there. And Billy had been enjoying the beer garden for the entire game. And he had his head down, like he was one of the guys, like head in his hands, like so upset that they lost and it was quiet and then Billy just lets out the biggest hiccup ever because he was hammered and everybody in the locker room turned and stared at him. Oh no. Come on Billy's living his best life. He's just part of like a street team. Yeah. Yeah. He's going I think he's got a pink Whitney tour. Yeah.

He's going to tile half stage. He's using him for for exactly what he should be used for. All right, next game 49ers Browns. We don't know if Sean Watson is playing. If it's DTR, it will be hilarious. We have record watch. McCaffrey is 14 straight games. Touchdown 15 is the record. He would be tied with OJ Simpson and John Riggins.

And I also have a little stat for you. This comes from Jack Hammer. Great name. Jack Hammer NFL is a beat stat for you. This comes from Jack Hammer. Great name. Jack Hammer NFL. He's a beat reporter for the 49ers. Jack Hammer. Kyle Shanahan has faced Jim Schwartz nine times. His teams are one and eight against him and have scored over 20 points just once. Wow. Little... Little something there. I still am gonna take the Niners, but little something there. Yeah, so right now it looks like it's priced in that Deshawn's not playing I don't know if that's true

He's medically cleared and he I think it was medically cleared last time. What's the last in play? Last night I looked at it and I thought to myself it was six. Maybe now it's nine. Okay now it is now I'm not gonna play yeah, because it was six as of yesterday And I also read that PJ Walker would probably get the start over DTR Oh, that's bullshit. He's so fun. He is fun to watch. Yeah This would be the only spot like the Niners have been incredible But if you want to pick a spot, it's coming off a absolute ass whooping of the Cowboys on national television Sunday football having to go to Cleveland, early kick, Jim Schwartz,

Kyle Shanahan. I'm not going to bet on the Browns, but if you wanted to, you could easily sell yourself on this being the place to fade the night. You want to hear a travel fact? Sure. I have another travel fact for you. These are great. So, Kyle Shanahan, 12 and 5 on the East Coast.

Okay. So, the Niners travel well when they go east because they leave early. They do. It's a fact. Yeah, that's travel fact. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 12 and five straight up or against the spread. 12 and five straight up. This is a nine point spread. It's a it's a travel fact that Kyle Shanahan is. So if you want to take the Niners to win the game. I'm actually going to take the Browns in this game. Okay. I'm going to hold my nose and take the Browns. Yeah. Going against the against your travel facts. It's it is a big spread. Yeah Some spread Jake the 49ers have a chance to win their 16th consecutive regular season game If they beat the Browns this week, which will mark the longest regular season winning streak and franchise history. Whoa

Whoa, okay? Also, we did we did see David and Joke whose face oh my god football guy of the millennia I can't believe he played insane. It's crazy He tried to put the fire out with his face He was lighting a fire pit in his backyard and he was like let me just put it out by blowing on it with my face I think he was trying to light it. I don't think it's trying to put it out crazy crazy. Yeah, he's a tough mother fucker Tough mother fucker. Okay, next game Vikings at Bears. Bears coming off a win, but they haven't won a home game in over a year, calendar year. September was last time they won a home game. Justin Jefferson is out. Kevin O'Connell had a little fun with that.

He said, my expectations is we hit the gas with Jordan Addison this weekend. No pun intended. the gas with Jordan Addison this weekend. No pun intended. But intended. Do you think if the bears win this game, that Kirk cousins could get traded? I think it's a possibility. And so he's got the no trade clause, right? So in order to make that work,

it would have to be a team that would want them, that would then give him a massive extension that he would be happy with. That to me is the key to getting good. Because I don't think you're going to get Kirk to like pick up his life and move his family. He's gonna have to find like a different coals to shop at. And then that's gonna be a challenge

for him and his family. But he's not going to go somewhere for like four months and then leave again. Unless they're really, really good. I guess it's probably possible, but what really, really good to know. I know, I know. I know.

So I'm thinking, 49 should honestly just trade for him just in case. It's, and having this back up. Seriously, if you're, if you're the 49ers, the only thing that can derail your season is another like all of our quarterbacks get hurt. Right. So, so the teams that would have cap space, I noticed earlier in the week, the Falcons made cap room. They like did a big restructuring of a guy that they didn't think they were going to

restructure right now. And then Arthur Smith was like kind of coy about why they did it. I could see the Falcons trying to do something like that. That would be interesting. Because if you're being honest as a Falcons fan, you're not really happy with with the quarterback situation right now. Like if you play well right now, Desmond Ritter's peak is playing well enough to win. Right. Right. So I it's probably not going to happen. But if it were to happen, I would keep my eye on the Falcon. If the Falcons got Kirk Cousins, would they still start to Hasman Ritter at home?

That would be awesome. Yeah. If they just didn't attack him in an away. Also, Kirk Cousins would look very strange in like the all black Falcons gear. Yeah, maybe kind of an edge to him though. Yeah. Maybe kind of an edge.

So the Bears right now, Justin Fields, he's coming off to great games. He is on pace for 3,800 yards and 37 touchdowns. He would be the first bears quarterback ever to throw over 30 touchdowns in a season. Eric Kramer had 29 in 1995. There's also the year that Josh McCown and Jay Cutler in 2013 combined for 32. So record watch for the Bears. Get, if Justin Fields can this season, if the Bear season isn't good, but Justin Fields can just erase some of the insult stats

that are out there, it would be a success. Like if you get 4,000 yards, if you can get over 30 touchdowns, great. I actually think the Bears were on the receiving end of a compliment stat last week. Well, Chefdard insults that at us when he was like, Justin Jefferson is out for the game against the Bears in his four seasons as a pro.

He has more yards than any Bears receiver ever. Yeah, insults that. It has no reason to put that in there. But there was a compliment stat that you guys got last week. DJ Moore, his 230 yards receiving, the second most in the Chicago Bears history. That's impressive. Yeah. When you see 230 yards, bears, you're like, well, that's probably a season season, a season long

record for them. But in this case, no, it's like they actually, they have a big game that they had as their number one. So it was like, oh, shit, the bears aren't always totally garbage. I received it. Yeah, he also won offensive player of the week in the NFC which I think was the first time since 1999 the Bears players done that. Congratulations. So huge, huge. Bears are looking up. If you were Justin Jefferson and you're sitting out this game you're probably out for the next three games with a hamstring and you lose to the Bears you're probably not breaking your neck to come back and play for the season's Vikings.

Where are you like? With your contract? Yeah. Oh, your hamstring. Yeah, you're probably not going to want to risk that. So this feels like it could be a- It's definitely a line in the sand game for the Vikings. This is like you should win this game and if you don't pack it all in.

This is a blow it up game. Yeah. The bears could blow up the Vikings this weekend. Let's see what the Vikings get. Give them a Viking funeral. Uh, Jake, go ahead, give us your nerd nugget. Shoot out incoming, entering the sweep Vikings quarterback, Kirk cousins leads the league with 13 passing touchdowns while Bears quarterback Justin Fields is tied for second in the league with 11. Yeah, so the Bears are 5 and 0 to the over and the Vikings are 4 and 1 to the over, which

would be 5 and 0 if the rest didn't screw them against the chiefs last weekend. The Vikings have the Niners next week Monday night football. Yeah. So it could be a blow it up spot. What's the opposite of a look ahead? A look behind. Yeah. Like checker six. Yeah. Because rear view. Yeah. Because if you're the Vikings, you've got that even if you're a Vikings player, you probably have that circle doesn't ask kicking next week. Yeah, that's not gonna be good. I get time Curric against the Niners. This is a get your wins in week. Yeah, you need they need to win and listen The Bears might be back if they win this game and I am all the way back in it. Just some fields I I like it into a relationship where listen, just feels through some interceptions. I said some things, you know, we both had emotional times, but at

the end of the day, don't go to bed angry. So I'm no longer going to bed angry. Okay. People want to say, Oh, you said week three is not the guy. Yeah, I did. He's the guy again. It's fine. We're fine. Everything is good. He's not the problem. Okay. Commanders of Falcons, we're on a Sam Howell sack watch. He has been sack 29 times on pace for 99 sacks, which would crush the record of 76 David Carr in 2002.

Yeah. Yeah, offensive protection hasn't been that good. Sam Howell also needs to learn how to get the ball out sometimes And I'm gonna pay a compliment to Justin Fields in the game against the commanders He was really good at throwing the ball away. Yeah, he had I think I think not only did he have some of the the best Actual passes and the best passing attack with DJ Moore He also threw some amazing incompletions when he was about to get sacked. Yeah, decisiveness.

It's good that you've got a big guy that's using his size to throw the ball away over the top of the defenders that are coming in. Yes. Adam, the commanders, offensive line stinks. The defense is the biggest issue, I think. The offense should be okay. It'd be nice to run the ball once or twice because we just abandoned the run in game last week. The Falcons might load up the box. It's kind of..., the Falcons defense is actually better than I then they're getting credit for you. Yeah. The Falcons defense isn't bad. The commander's defense is strong last week and I'm on fire.

Del Rio fire Jack Del Rio Rivera is probably not going to do it because he's done at the end of the season. So why would he torture guy that's been his guy for a long as time right if he's going to get fired in or if he's not going to get renewed at the end of the season. But they need to do something different on defense because Jack Del Rio is doing the exact same thing where he's got four guys rushing the passer and then you're also having your cornerbacks

try to jump routes as they're happening and what happened to Emmanuel Forbes last two weeks. He's gotten his ass kicked. Yeah, they just look on discipline. Yes. That's really what it is It's like there's there was moments when I mean you were at the game But they were they were highlighting on Amazon prime like

Chase Young just know No ability to keep the edge letting Justin fields run around them. They're running the bears running game was able to run through them It's it'll be interesting game because this is if the if the commanders win a soupie back on No, we're not soupie. We're not soupy. We're just we're we're back to playing spoiler We're gonna play spoiler alert But if but if the if they don't change the way that they're running their defense Forbes is gonna continue to get cooked this entire year and he's gonna be one of the worst cornerbacks in the NFL Because he takes a lot of chances the way you counteract that is by doing you know what?

I never thought I'd say this I Missed doctor heat on the commanders. I missed Greg Williams. Just fuck it. Go zero blitz all the time. If you're going to have your cornerbacks jumping roots anyways, it's like, give them, get to the quarterback. Know that you will get to the cornerback.

That's how you're going to play. If the commander's going to win this game, they have the giants next week. That could, you know, it could be back to four and three going against the Eagles at home. Yeah. Till I try to keep revenge game though. And you play the Patriots week after that. Mm-hmm. The, which Desmond Ritter never lost at home.

Desmond or 31 and O at home in college and NFL. Uh, okay, go ahead Jake. Sam Howell has completed 10 passes of 30 or more yards through his first six career games since 2020 that's the most by applied through their first career six first six career games. It's also the most enfranchised history. Um, can I can I confess one of my deepest darkest fears to you guys? Yeah. Go ahead.

I love his max is going to hiccup again. I love Sam. I think he's been just swallowing him like a tank. He's literally just staring at Max's face. I know. I love Sam. How? And I've really enjoyed watching play. And I at Max's face. I know I noticed that. Yeah, I love Sam Hal. And I've really enjoyed watching play and I think he's good. I also think that we might, I might be getting into a situation where I'm falling in love with a guy

and he might be like consistently above average at quarterback. And then I'm going to get so frustrated with him in like three or four years, just like I did with Kirk Cousins that he's just not good enough to be a great quarterback And then I'm gonna start to hate Sam Howell after that. I know it's early I know the body of work that we've seen is small and it's encouraging But this is just me being burned so many times that I think Sam Howell is our guy. Remember we did this a while ago Yeah, the difference between he's our guy, he's my guy. Versus the guy.

Versus the guy. I'm just afraid that Sam Howell is gonna be my guy. And not the guy. That's okay. That's okay. Well, just play the game. I would take my guy though, considering, all things being equal, the history of our two teams

with quarterbacks, I would take my guy. They should let Taylor Heinecky play in this game. Both ways. Yeah. They should. All-time quarterback. They should. Uh, okay. Next game. Panthers at Dolphins. Yuck. So the big news out of the Panthers this week is David Tepper looks like an owner. No one wants to work with. Uh, there was a couple quotes. So Frank Reich said there's

different philosophies and ownership. Some owners kind of staced. Stay away and don't engage a lot. Other owners do. And his philosophy is he's going to engage and listen, it's only been a short experience, but it's been a good experience. It hasn't been fun. I wouldn't characterize them as fun meetings. And he also said, I talk to Tepper every week multiple times, usually talk either Monday

or Tuesday after a game. And he's super competitive, wants to bring a winner to the Carolinas. He wants it now wants it now and pushes me and pushes us to that end. He wants to do whatever it takes and turn over every stone, turn it as much as he has to to produce winning football. So I appreciate those conversations. They're always very challenging. He's a super competitive person.

He's not going to sit idly by. That's a problem. Yeah, I can't imagine like a real alpha type head coach wanting to work for a guy like that. That is a our owner. He basically in those two quotes is like, yeah, this guy is putting his, you know, nose where it shouldn't be and micro managing a football team. And that's not how a successful organization runs. There is no like, you can't have that. You can't have the owner forcing the coach to have a meeting multiple times a week. Well, the Cowboys, and they were pretty good 30 years ago.

Yeah, right. They, they, the only time the Cowboys were good was when Jimmy Johnson, a true alpha, was in there and they butted heads all the time. But yeah, that's, that's not a good sign for the David Tepper Panthers. I think he's going to have to probably adjust that because I don't think football lifers, football coaches love when the owner is like, hey, so why'd you run this play? Yeah.

So in most sports, when an owner takes over, they are like this because it's their new toy and they're obsessed with it. And then there's always an interview that the owner will give like five years into their tenure. It's like, what have you learned as your time being in order to say, well, it's that I should let the football guys be football guys and that I should take my hand off. Well, it happens every time. And yeah, most owners are very wildly successful in business and they're like, I'm going to

run my football team exactly like I ran my business and just treat everyone like that. And then they get in the building and it's like, fuck this guy. Yeah, he's gonna run it like Goldman Sachs. So, did you, my favorite fact about, about Tepper is that in his office, on his desk, he has a big pair of brass testicles that he keeps on his desk.

So whenever anyone new walks into his office, he's like, you know why, why keep these here? And they're like, no, why? He's like, cause I got brass balls. Love that. So that like, no, why? He's like, because I got brass balls. Love that. So that's, yeah, he sounds like a miserable part. Sounds like it.

It sounds like a terrible, terrible boss. I hope Devon A. Chain gets better because he is so much fun to watch, but I do think that like, I don't know, this game is weird. The dolphins should kill the panthers, but at some point, the panthers are going to cover a spread and do it a big spread like this. What is it right now? 14 and a half?

It's been climbing. Do you think that Chase Claypool is too slow to play on the dolphins? They talked about maybe making him tight-end. Yeah, you might disrupt the timing because two is used to just rock it's out there. I also went on Pittsburgh radio this morning with our guys and they tried to make fun of me for Chase Claypool because obviously the Steelers ended up getting the 30 second pick.

Fun fact, Chase Claypool, before he joined the Bears last year, the Bears were three and five. When he joined the Bears, they went O and 12. And since he's left the Bears, they're one and one. So Chase Claypool is the human tank machine. So he actually is the greatest bear of all time because without him, they would not have gotten the first pick. Yeah.

And been able to trade it for the Panthers. The Panthers, I think, they, I don't know, do you think they regret that maybe a little? Maybe, maybe tiny bit. Who won the trade? I think the bears might have won that trade. With the Panthers just openly saying, we need a wide receiver.

Yeah, it like EJ Moore. and also not having they're the first, they're the worst team in the league right? That to me sounds like a temper special where he's he's trading away. One of his best players and then like five weeks later, he's like, we really could use that exact same guy that we traded away. Whoops. Where, why can't we get that guy back? Go ahead, nerd nugget.

So it's 13 and a half right now. 13 and a half. The dolphins have won 14 of their past 16 home games And I've never won 15 of 17 at heart rocks stadium since it opened in 1987 So they're playing all-time good football at home right now. Yeah, they are good football team is gonna be hot Probably give me give you weather update. I need to know what those sidelines are gonna be cooking at slow internet Okay, high 89 low 67 sunny. It's going to be hot. It's going to be hot. Uh, all right. Colts at Jaguars. Gardner

Minci revenge game. Yep. Gardner Minci is starting because Anthony Richardson is out for, oh, he's out for at least a few weeks, right? Yeah. So is that at least four weeks at least. He's got a, uh, separated AC joint, not, not what you want as a quarterback. Yeah, no definitely not also the jack Wars. I don't think or sorry the cults don't win in Jacksonville. I had that's that They have lost Eaton a row in Jacksonville. That's tough. Yeah, Eaton a row Jacksonville played like their game of the season so far last week. Yeah, they beat the bills and So this maybe could be a letdown spot. But again, it's a schedule win for P.

Prisco is scheduled win and Gardner Minshi coming back. That's a wild card. Yeah. This feels like it could be a Gardner revenge game big time. If you're trying to bet this game, here's a little fun fact. Only 11 teams in NFL history have returned home from Europe without a buy week. Every one of those teams was tied or trailing in the fourth quarter of the fall. That's a that's a good travel note.

Yes. So that is a maybe Colts first half. I like it. Although the Jaguars were in London for two weeks. So that would make it harder to come back, right? Probably. Yeah. So Colts first half.

Yeah, you're right. Okay. What's your nerd nugget for this game? The Jaguars have defeated Indianapolis eight straight times as the home team outscore in the Colts 2 32 to 104. And on Sunday, the Jaguars can sweep theapolis eight straight times as the home team outscore in the Colts, 232 to 104. On Sunday, the Jaguars can sweep the season series against the Colts for first time since 2017. So keep in mind, those wins include wins when Urban Meyer was the head coach and Gus Bradley

was the coach. So this is, this runs deeper than just one guy up front. Yeah, no, this is the club. Remember, the, I think that was the Urban Meyer year, when Carson went, went down there, all they needed to do was win. Yep. Yep. Some colors are just dominant over other colors.

Yeah, the colors. Yeah. It's like the teal, the gold, the black. That's going to beat the white and the blue. Yeah. All right. Next game, Saints of Texans, Dennis Allen, after we talked about how bad he was as a head coach,

he's moving up. He's only the ninth worst head coach now. So his seventh worst in NFL history last week. He's ninth worst now. Pretty big. He's going to put together a win. Maybe another win. I don't know. I feel like maybe the Saints, you can't judge anything against the Patriots, but their defense is good. Their defense is definitely good. The offense looked alive a little bit last week. How many points did they get? 34. Oh, oh, I don't know because it picks six right? It was like probably like 20. Yeah, they it was the first time they scored over 20 in a while. It was an offensive explosion. Correct for the Saints So that yeah, they might be back on the front foot and their defense is actually good. I might bet CJ straddle through an Interception this week. Yeah, so that I think he probably heard us talking like hey, these guys are right.

They're Stroud boys just got throw one. Yeah, throw one and this is probably a week where it could happen because the Saints do a lot of confusing shit on defense. Yeah, where they you know what the Saints do? They do like Bob Huggins does the simulated press. Yeah, just to get people freaking out. The Saints do a lot of simulated blitzes to get quarterbacks freaking out. Yeah, and if you haven't seen it before, I might bet on Stroud as a positive, like because we're rooting for the throwiners. Exactly. So this is not a

hater bet. This is what we want him to throw. Let's go CJ. Throw a pick. Throw one chance. Throw a pick. CJ Stroud throw an interception challenge. And then your NFL career officially begins. Yeah. NFL career doesn't start into a throw at least one pick. Yep. Yep. OK, nerd nugget for this game. Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has thrown for 1,461 yards this season. He's the fourth player in NFL history with at least 1,400

passing yards and no interceptions in his team's first five games. And so now he's got throw pick. Patrick Mahomes in 2019, Drew Breeze in 2018, Russell Wilson in 2019. So it's a row pick. All great quarterbacks except for us. Yeah. OK, before we do the afternoon games, the night game, quick word from our friends at Game Time,

And that would be Mac Jones getting revenge for that loss last week. Does he have the ability to get revenge? Yes. He does. Why would he not? He's not really good at quarterback.

But if he plays, I mean, it's a week by week. Does he have it in his toolbox two weeks ago? Justin Fields, you were down on you. I just listened to you talk for an hour and a half about how Justin Fields is back and he's good. Yeah. So Mac Jones, if Mac Jones is two good games, it's the same situation back. He could be okay. So yes, he has the ability to get a better advantage. He is a big game that's for that is this fair is this a Jacobi Myers revenge game no I don't think so I think you know there's hundreds of players that switch teams every year yeah there's bad blood so well it's yeah there's probably isn't bad blood because Jacobi was

probably throwing the game last year he's probably a secret raider right this is the by by low point for theots. Like I might actually bet the Patriots on Sunday because it can't get worse. I mean, if Balochek's gonna, you know, he's gonna get up for McDaniel's Brady, like there is a lot of, you know, internal storylines. I don't think Jacobi Myers is one, but I think Balochek versus McDaniel's,

he's gonna not that he, you know, goes any less hard, but he's gonna do everything in his power to beat him. And he probably also knows a little bit more, and maybe it works reverse. McDaniel's knowing more about Belichick, but they know each other well. I think it's not that Belichick definitely held some stuff out on McDaniels, because he knew he was gonna leave and probably go to a team that would be competitor. So he probably didn't teach McDaniels everything he knew knew knowing that one day he would have to defeat him. But I do think that McDaniel's

is pro this is like a big game for him because he wants to take Bellicack out. It would be a big feather in his cap. He's going to be doing some stupid shit on offense. Stupid shit. He's going to be kicking field goals on first down now. He's going to set new precedent in the NFL with the level of of inside of his own brainness that he's going to have to tap into. The next question I have for you, Hank, there's been a debate. Brady versus Bella check. People are obviously bearing Bella check right now.

I think as a podcast, we should actually change the debate and make it Dante Scarecchio was the goat. He was, right. So should we just do that? Be like, hey, like option three. I like that. OK. All right, so that's good and then the last question I have for you is billbell a check That there is a lot of conversations going on you've seen them Is there a chance if Andy Reed coaches for another five ten years of Patrick homes, he could be the goat. If they win five more

Super Bowls, yeah. Okay. But just from just from four more. Four more. If they get six. You don't get seven. Why would you have to get seven? Because Bell Check has six. Right, but if he has more wins and belt,'s 50 behind I think in wins right now I think if they both had the same amount of wins yeah now the only other question they both have the same amount of super balls it would go to head to head but Andy really had that's the first tiebreaker so then but the question I only asked is they played in Super Bowl next I'm trying to this show this show is part I was just looking at Schwarver at home round back. Was that two 10 again?

No, it's more. It's three to one. OK, all right, then we'll do it. So Bell Check, first Andy Reed, if they get time, it's had to head in which. I'm, no, Hank, I think Bell Bell Check is the greatest coach of all time. What I'm saying to you, Hank, is this is part of my take, we try to get in

front of takes. I think that the Andy Reed is the greatest coach of all time will eventually be a conversation. If he stays in Kansas City, why would he leave? He's got Patrick Mahomes because Andy Reed without Patrick Mahomes was a very good coach. Bill Bellicek without Tom Brady. His record has not been great. How many Super Bulls has Andy got to that much longer? Like if Bell check, you know, what I don't think he's going to retires this year,

but Andy Reed has, Andy Reed has Patrick Mahomes. Why would he ever walk away from that? Cause he's old. Andy Reed is 65 years old. The Bull check's 70. That's when is your retirement kickin? Well, if he coaches for another eight years, that's a lot of wins with patch from homes I'm again but

is 401k is probably pop and he's like damn I've been saved okay 65 hit please don't be upset I'm not upset your your throwing out a take that I know is going to happen people will I guarantee you within the next year this will be a conversation that if he gets to six super balls it's worth having a conversation until then I won't even entertain it okay P.F.T. thank you for calling on me Hank P.F.T. Comotor Barcell Sports Parment take podcast Hank how many super balls has Bill Bellicic gotten to without Tom Brady as a head coach as a head coach because we I mean we could play the assistant coach game too if

you wanted to yeah let's do that okay Andy could play the assistant coach game to if you wanted to. Yeah let's do that. Okay. Andy Reed as an assistant coach. And you read one of Super Bowl. He packed with the coordinator of the greatest defense of team Volta. He won a super one of the greatest defensive teams of all time. But so that your answer is zero right. So Andy Reed got to a Super Bowl without Patrick Mahomes. Okay, but he's still like the league MVP on his team. The reason why, the reason why I think the- No, I think the-

The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the-

The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- The fact that the- Um, and, and, and he read was those chiefs teams that Alex Smith won a lot of games.

Like he was competitive every single year. The reason why I think the Bella check slander is a little foolish is people forget the Tom Brady wasn't always Tom Brady. That's the part that people miss. Like Tom Brady became this incredible passer offensive like insanity in whatever the last two thirds of his career. The first, first dynasty, Tom Brady, what, well. Well, well, no, he was still very good. But like Bill Bello checks defense were insane. Like that, that part gets missed a little. Not by me.

Not by you. So you think there's a chance any read the goat might be a conversation that's started. If he wins four more Super Bowls, yes, then you'll accept it. Okay. I'll have the conversation because his record without patch mode has been a lot better. But however, if he wins as many Super Bowls and he's got more and he's the number one most all time wins as a head coach, it'll be real tough to say that he's not the greatest.

It'd be very tough. Because Bellicex going for Shula, but Andy Reed if you say Andy Reed is gonna coach another eight years And you have patch of homes. That's like 12 13 wins a year That's a lot of wins Andy's lost some weight too. He has lost Andy's looking good feeling spray It's also a roundabout way of being like Andy Reed stay for as long as possible. So Matt and he doesn't become the head coach Okay, that was I was just having a discussion. Hank.

Yeah, that's fine. I I think, well, it's the best coach of all time. I know I'm not I'm I'm I'm I'm trying to predict where the national media will go. PFT. Oh, yeah, thank you, big cat. I have a question for you. Yes.

Who do you think Tom Brady is rooting for in this matchup? Oh, part of the team. Wait, I asked big cat. So he's investing in the Raiders. Yeah, I think the team he owns. Yeah, that's interesting. It's just interesting to think about. He's going to be in Vegas.

He might put some money down. Hank, where's your head at for this game? Are you going to get up for it? Yeah. Yeah, I think even that little know Tom Brady Josh McDaniels It got you going a little rivalry there if I'm being honest I think the Patriots are gonna win this game if I'm I actually kind of think so I think that the the rivalry I think the McDaniels Belliccheck thing and the Brady vs. Belliccheck thing I think that gives Belliccheck an advantage in this situation

Yeah, I think it actually weakens the Raiders because of the stupid shit that McDaniel is going to try to do. He's going to try to outthink Bella check. Yeah, and then Garoppolo is probably going to try to play like the best game of his life to show Robert Kraft like, hey, you could have had me. You could have had me. You could have had the young buck. And when he tries to do that, he's probably going to make some mistakes.

Yeah. Okay. Hit us with the nerd nugget. Yeah, the Detroit nugget. Yeah. Detroit Raiders. You guys just had a big debate about Andy Read and Bill Bellochak. This one is similar to that. Bill Bellochak has won at least one game and 50 different stadiums, including the postseason, the only two current stadiums where he hasn't recorded a win. Our Legion

Stadium, home of the Raiders, where they're playing this week, and US Bank Stadium, Andy Read is second with wins in 43 different stadiums. Bellachak never one in Germany either. He'll get that chance. Yeah. We also the debate just to clarify is not a debate right now. It's a will it be a debate? It's a potential future.

Will it potentially be? We're debating whether the debate will happen. Yeah, embrace debate. Right. Exactly. Do you agree with us that the debate will happen? No. You don't think so.

I don't think he's going to want more people on that gonna I think you're wrong on that you're wrong people debate it But it's that you don't have to win four soup rolls for everyone in the media to debate that You don't think it's valid in your mind, but I'm saying if you win two more soup rolls the debate will happen The debate could happen right now in that in that logic. Well, thankfully. We're not having that debate We're having a debate whether the debate will happen and you don't think that the debate will happen. No I'd like to debate you on that point. I think that it will. Yeah and I yeah we both think that it will. I Don't that's a future debate that we're having currently as a debate. No, I think it will just because there's people in the National Media who like to tear down the Patriots and so it will have it will so you want to move us to the but yeah, we just want that debate about the debate

All right sure yeah, okay, we won the debate. Thank you. That was good. That was really good. All right next game Cardinals Rams I don't really have anything besides the Cardinals always lose the Rams so I'm looking at my sheet and I put down notes next to every single game Yeah, this one Cardinals at Rams. Absolutely nothing next to it. The only interesting thing I can find out about this game. There is a revenge game factor here. Did you know that? That's right. Um, offensive lineman Coleman Shelton Shelton is the Rams starting center and his only played NFL games. Well, the Rams and he's only played for the Rams Has been with them for the last five seasons however He spent time with the Cardinals in 2018 on their practice squad for part of that season

Whoa, so this is this is the official Coleman Shelton game besides that who cares? Yeah, who cares? I mean, I do care bet on it. I will care, but yeah, I do care because I do think that the Rams are gonna win eight games This is a must win for you for me. I've got this on the schedule as a must win. Otherwise. It's a disaster personal must win Remind big cotton PFT to bet Rams Cardinals tie Why okay, all right on that end of my Preseason power point you guys tell me the best on no that really fucks with my future then or does it tie a count is 0.5 Whatever it was coming out of your mouth after does a tie count was gonna be wrong. Yeah, it should count as point five It should put it does not

Why it definitely does not it no no 100% it doesn't because it's the wind total It's not winds not called the law winds and 100% it doesn't because it's the win total. It's not wins. It's not called the lost. The last one's in ties. If it was a lost total, that I was fed in. And they said half points in those lines. So that eight wins, seven doesn't.

OK. We got just, we have a full, full-fledged fire going outside of the New York studio right now. Why did we want to bet on a tie? I have to watch it back. I should have done it before. Yeah, you. This is on me.

You should have. Yeah. You know what? I'm suspending your nerd tie. I have to watch it back. I should have done it before. Yeah, you. This is on me. You should have. Yeah. You know what? I'm suspending your nerd nugget for this game. I'm gonna unsuspend it. Okay. I want to hear it. I did.

The minute I suspended it was like, but what if it's really important? Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna grade your nerd nugget for this game. Fair. The cardinals 716 rushing hours this season are the most through the team's first five games of a season

since they rushed for 850 in 1988 D minus because James Connors hurt right Yeah, really matter anymore the card is the mark heart the Mercado try to think of the best running backs They've had beanie well also does it help with the amazing house open for a stat that held tied in the tie Yeah, like these two teams to always play ties Every a stat that held tied in the tie. Yeah, like these two teams always play ties. Every last 14 times they've tied. I think I know maybe what it is.

Does it have something to do with the NFC West cycle? Yeah, but that's what McVeigh does beat the Cardinals. He does. Yeah, the Cardinals are two and 11 in their last 13 games against the Rams, but this isn't Kingsbury. That isn't. I don't know. We'll find out.

All right, you can listen. All right, let's go to the next game. I'm gonna bet a tie. Eagles Jets, it's called Hegey. Eagles Jets are a producer battle. Meansverse Max, the New York Jets have never beaten the Eagles. O and 12 in the history of their franchises going back to 1973, but they also have never employed the strategy of kissing the other quarterback.

So Robert Salah said, when they do the push push this week, he is expecting his team to give Jalen Hartz 11 kisses on defense. Are the New York Jets horny? Yeah, my column. 11 kisses on the push push. So I actually, listen, it hasn't been stopped yet. Why not try to kiss him? I have a follow up to the to the

kisses that that kiss commentary. Fletcher Cox has now said that the Eagles are planning on kissing Breeze Hall 11. Oh, it's kissball. It's kissball. It's kissball. It's kissball. It's kissball. That's kiss it. Oh, boy. It's 2023. The bandage. Oh, man. They should play kissball go to the middle of the field throw the ball up Let's see who you're starting to on kiss ball be Jason Kelsey and who? You got to say flutcher Cox, okay, the like Jalen Carter Do I want to say they throw the ball in the air and they kiss as many times they kiss as many times as they can until the ball hits the ground

And then the jets go and Whoever wins kissball wins a game Kiss yeah, we should play kissball in the new office. I can see Aaron Rodgers being really good at kissball. Yeah Yeah, he seems like a don't don't kiss me on my lips He's very very friendly remember how many how many times he's hugging people. That's true. He likes to hug He's a big hugger. So memes in Max, what's the bet? Loser has to kiss the winner. Yeah, I like that bet.

Yup, cause it's not. I can't. I gotta focus on it. I gotta focus on it. No, cause if memes loses and kisses you on the lips, it's not like you kissed him, you got kissed. I can't be worried about Eagles jets right now. Let's hear the year series will be over by that. Yeah, but

You don't be over in four hours nice try hang actually will be over. Yeah, no matter what. Yeah loser has to kiss the winner Sure, okay deal Perfect fine on the list rolled over for that. We never said lips. No, I mean it's a kiss on the list We never but that that then there's no winner no loser. Oh, no because that No, I mean, it's a kiss. I'm always. But that then there's no winner or no loser. Oh, no, because that's what I said. If memes has to kiss you, you sound like you're kissing him. You're just getting kissed. You should have. I don't give a fuck. I'll get my boy. It's got to be like on the Tush. No, it's got to be like Max. Whoever wins does the post game video talking about the win and then the loser has to sneak in with the cheek. Yes, but is that better for the? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's actually it's not gonna be the one

Yeah, he gets kissed we win on the lips. Yeah, we do win. I want hand I want hand behind the head Wait a minute. Where did the lips where did the lips come? The lips are out no lips are it you say I don't care. I'll fucking kiss my boys in the lips That's what you said just two seconds. I said I'll kiss my boys. I Love kiss my boys you do I think it should be I He's he's been sick forever cheek

Cheek which but winner gets the video loser gets lick and You're going backwards here. I think I think it should be an open mouth. It should be an open mouth kiss on the cheek T. Oh, yeah open mouth on the cheek M. I'm on open mouth Hicky you got to give the loser has to give the winner. No, the winner has to give the loser a hickey Peck on cheek open mouth kiss on you have to suck his face a little bit. Yeah, like a Yeah, one of the No, Tom a little bit nobody has to go in open mouth like this. Yeah, okay, okay, okay If you wanted to do Tom, you know, you want you can do tongue if you want. Okay, deal. Okay Love is love what's your nerd nugget?

Jake he's trying to multitask The Eagles are 12 and oh all time versus the Jets the best record by any NFL franchise in a head-to-head series. Oh wow. I don't know yet. What? You said it at the beginning. So the Eagles are 12 and 0 against the Jets and 6 and 0 against Houston Minnesota is

5 and 0 against Houston. Sorry for not listening. That's okay. No, you're doing your multitask. Yeah. You have to multitask. Good. I give that an A plus.

A plus and 0. Alright. Lines at. All right lines at box The lines at box the box are wearing the cream schools. That's all you got to know That's I want to know what the with the box career record in the cream schools is oh, I have it I think it's oh, okay. Yeah, probably the worst ever 102 100 wins 223 losses. It's really bad That says their main Jersey not as the throwback. They've worn the throwback a few times. In their first 21 years existing, so they wore the Creams Cools from 1976 to 1996. 21 seasons, three playoff appearances. They got rid of them

in 1996. The next six years, they went to the playoffs five out of the six years and won a Super Bowl. Yeah, so I don't know why you do a throwback. The cringles are just the worst jersey in sports. Not I like how they look. Yeah, but it is just if you're a bucks fan, you can't like these jerseys. The only good thing that happened in these cringles is my call stop. Yeah. I think it's a real young. As a yeah, that's right. As a rookie, you had my call stop running people over wearing a pirate that was winking at you, which was the most emasculating thing that's ever happened in sports.

But yeah, they're cool uniforms. I like it when people wear them as throwbacks to a box game when they're wearing the regular jerseys. On jerseys that had jersey. It's a great, you're like, oh, you got the cream school. Yeah, the cream school. It's pretty nice. Hank, did you know that Steve Young played for the box?

Nope. Oh, okay. Did you also know that Jerome Betis played for the Rams? I did not know that until we did that. Okay. Everyone did that. I've got a Baker Mayfield quote. He's on our side, big cat. Oh, we can count Baker Mayfield as an ally. He said when Jerry golf was not mentioned among some of the top NFL quarterbacks by Ryan Fitzpatrick, he said, coming from someone that needed a fresh start as well, Jared's a stud.

Yes. He also went on to say that Jared's great at play action, which again, we want to make, we want to take that, but expand Jared's great. Great. I'm going to revise that quote. Jared's a stud. He's great. He's great. He's great.

He's great. Also Lions Box first memory that comes to my mind, our guy Tony Sheffler doing the touchdown, end zone celebration where you did the sword. A compiler. Yeah, fucking badass. A lot is gonna be based on whether Gibbs and St. Brown play for me.

I think St. Brown's gonna play. I don't think Gibbs will play. St. Brown was practicing this week. I think if one of the two of them play, I'm gonna stay betting on the Lions to hammer teams. Yeah, the Lions, the only thing that makes you nervous is the road Lions, outdoor cats, a little different. But yeah, I don't know, the bucks are the bucks good?

I think they are, I think Baker's good. Yeah, but it's like, who have they played? Vikings. Bad. And a lot of once more games. Yeah, but it's like who they played Vikings bad And a lot of ones were games bad Saints bad Yeah, yeah Eagles good. Yeah Just something to think about it. So I if one of the two of those guys plays I'm sticking with my formula

I'm betting on the lines. Yes,, nerd nugget. I was about cream schools You'd be sold from it 1976 and 1997 winning record just three times. You stole it from big head. Yeah No, you beat me to it. But yeah, it's pretty crazy. There's such cool colors and they think in them Yeah, they were bad franchise also. I found it. Yeah, I Can play it, but basically it was the same day that Cooper Cup got re-injured and that speech from the Cardinals coach Got released and you both said you said let's fade the Rams and the Cardinals and you're like just but oh Okay, that makes sense. Okay, I mean I have to have passed. We'll have to do a tie Last game Giants bills

Here's a fun fact from New York teams. You ready for this? Mm-hmm since 2019 Here's a fun fact for New York teams. You ready for this? Mm-hmm. Since 2019, the jets and the giants have played in 25 night games. What's the record? 25 night games. Jets and the Giants, 25 night games. Well, let's see. The Jets beat the bills this year. So that's one win.

Four and 21. I'm gonna say two and 23. That is correct. Two and 23. That's one win. 4 and 21. I'm going to say 2 and 23. That is correct. 2 and 23. That is so bad. This year and the Odell catch 2019. So I don't know. That was really early. Yeah. Crazy. That's wild. Joke of a sports town. Crazy. I mean, the only team that plays in New York is the bills. Yeah. No, but it goes. We've said a million times, but they have two two teams forever sport and they're terrible and all that was a stat I think on advisors Jerry gave us that the giants have not lost in the state of New York since like 1993 That's pretty impressive so they've just beaten the bills like four times

So they're gonna go they're gonna have another chance again. Yeah, wink martin dale had a great quote about about Josh Allen He said he's got Dan Marino's arm, Derek Henry's legs, and Steph Curry's mindset. So you're gonna think of another quarterback to use as a mindset once we went basketball on that. Yeah. But that seems like Wink building him up a little bit, just like gasping up the guy,

making him think that he's got it made, that there's gonna be another easy game for him, and then boom, the worst thing that happened to Giants was that the bills lost last week. Yes. If the bills had, if the bills had steamrolled the Jaguars and then they come back and then they get the Giants, I think that they crush them. The Giants feel like their, their season might be bad. It's bad. It's very bad. Seems like things are just falling apart completely. It's very bad. Seems like things are just falling apart completely.

It's very bad. If they have any fight, Brian Dable will be like, hey, this is my revenge game. I'm not going to my son's birthday party. My personal revenge game. I'm eliminating my other son's birthday entirely. We're not celebrating. He's not getting any presents. I need to show Buffalo that I've got something cooking for him.

Yeah. I don't know. Maybe make some decent nuts jokes at the line that'll throw off Josh Allen. I don't know what the formula is for the for the Giants, but it feels like it feels like a shit pump. It feels bad. The bills are scoring 0.5 points per play. So actually the lead leader in the NFL is the dolphins there. 0.586 points per play. The giants are 31st, 0.194 points per play. It's that's so foreign to me to think about rooting for a team where every play is worth half a point.

Yeah, half a point. The Patriots are last in 0.17 points per play. Yeah, the dolphins, the Niners, and the bills are all averaging a half a point or more per play. That's insane. That's insane. Nerdnugget. The Bills lead the NFL with 21 sacs the most by Buffalo in the first five games of a season

in team history. Okay. Wait, is the Giant's offensive line good? They're not. Not good. Not good at all. Not good. Not good.

Okay, should we do picks? Let's do our picks. What is the standings and who's picking first picks in the warm-up flight? I am six three and one max is five and five means is three and seven whoof By the way, we do have we it is confirmed the Tuesday of Super Bowl week will be the when we're gonna probably do a paper view as well so people can watch from home. Um, oh man, we're getting, we're getting close to having to put you boys in a box. Yeah. Yeah. We're putting you in a box. I thought there's a chance you're just gonna forget about. No, no, no, no, no, we've been waiting for the new office. I have a box. Well, it's gonna be

better being their box. Yeah, yeah, yeah, being their box in their suite. Yeah, in their suite box. Okay, who goes first. Yeah, yeah, well being their box in their sweet. Yeah, there's a little picture of them Okay, who goes first? Well, oh, yeah main event big cat 5 3 and 2 pft 6 and 4 Hank 5 4 and 1's very okay very So we've done five weeks So it means me first.

He works. I don't know where he works, but he used to work with us. No, he works at Draft King's baseball as dead as his podcast. Please go subscribe. Jared, good to see you. I'm going to see you guys. Excited to have you on first question. So just for context, we're taping this on Thursday mid-mortem. so three out of four of these series are over we have the ALCS set we have half of the NL NLCS set we have braves vs. Phillies game four tonight so that's why we won't you know definitively say which one is winning but my first question for you was what do you have to say for yourself after sucking the braves dick all year long and then watching them? Uh, seemingly they're on the ropes. They're on the ropes.

They're on the ropes, but I mean, you know, I'm a notorious flip flopper. Yep. Like I, I wanted to pick the Phillies in this series, but we were going to Atlanta for a watch party. And I was like, I can't pick the Phillies and go to Atlanta. Like you just can't do that. So I picked the Braves in five,

but if we weren't going to Atlanta, I definitely would have picked the Phillies. So you're just a painter. That's another flip-flop. I'm just a player. Yeah, I'm 100% man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you can't, like, we all openly admitted that.

Like everyone on the podcast picked the Braves because we were going. Like if we were just going to stay put, I think the vibes would tell you in Maxkina test to this, that it just this series had fillies written all over it. I think, you know, the whole like RC at the, it's by the way, it's stupidest storyline. Explain it for the people who maybe are not following the MLB playoffs. I know. I know what you're talking about, but yes, if you're not following the MLB playoffs, the braves are playing the Phillies right now. The braves have statistically the best lineup

maybe of all time. Like if you were to put it in perspective, they, they, they tied the 2019 twins for the most home runs ever. Who could forget the 2019 twins? Yeah, the 1927 Yankees, they're tied in like OPS Plus. So like statistically, one of the best lineups ever. Bryce Harper gets doubled off in game two to end the game. And then Orlando Arcia, who is the brave shortstop, was kind of like making fun of Bryce Harper after the game. And then Orlando Arcia, who is the brave shortstop, was kind of like making fun of Bryce Harper after the game. And there was like this whole like big thing about this

reporter who didn't even have a credential had like tweeted it out or reported what Arcia was saying in the clubhouse. And then the braze were crying about it saying, you know, this ruins like the sanctity of the clubhouse. And you know, there are things in the clubhouse that aren't supposed to get out Like he didn't even say anything back. What do you say even? Max what is the boy Bryce or something? Yeah, he said out of boy, but that's it. Yeah, yeah, out of boy Harper. That's it. He's yours in the barsel store Okay, and then also

So then the the idea is that the braves he does feel like the braves are complaining a lot and I would argue, and maybe the braves don't, don't agree with me. The Bryce Harper hit two home runs in game three, not because Orlando R.C. has said, at a boy, Bryce, it was more because Bryce Harper's really fucking good at hitting home runs. I would say that you have a strong case there, Dan. Yeah, I would say Bryce Harper pretty good. I mean, he's, he's a homeward in Atlanta, like the dude just I'm so jealous of Philly fans because you got

a player that is a a superstar potential Hall Famer someday. And he's such a dirt bag like Philly's fans, like he is one of them. And when he signed his deal, he was like 13 years. I don't want any opt-outs. I want to die here, bury me in Philly. He embodies everything that that fan base is all about. He wants to win. He'll do anything to win. And he does shit like that.

Like, oh, you want to talk shit. Now I'm going to hit two bombs and I'm going to stare you down as I'm rounding second base. Like that. He embodies Philly. I'm so jealous of those people. Yeah. Would you say that your your bulletin boomerboard material by picking the braves in five was actually gift from you to the Philly's and they're like,

Atta Boy Jared, thank you for doing that for us. They need it. They like play better. It seems like when everybody hates them. Yeah, no, they they if there's one thing that I learned about Philly's fans in my years in the bar cell office. This is they love being hated like they embrace it. It's not something that rattles them. They welcome it. They they they live off of it. It fuels them. Uh, I was actually at all three NLCS games in Philly last year.

And I haven't been to every ballpark obviously in the playoffs, but that atmosphere, it's, I don't know that I can compare anything else to it, other than like SEC football. Oh, okay, so we just steal a take from Jeff Passon. Okay, so yeah, on SVP, that was the whole thing with Jeff Passon. Yeah, that was a big argument for me of why CVP is the best. Yeah, okay, so they might run into like going up against

themselves a little bit, like they're it if they advance to this series and then they get the diamond backs. The diamond backs are the team that nobody believes in sure they haven't lost this postseason, but like nobody thinks that the diamond backs are going to do anything. The Phillies aren't going to be able to play the underdog card against them. That's a good point. I didn't think about it like that. They would be they would be a favorite in that point. I didn't think about it like that. They would be, they would be a favorite in that series. I don't even think the Dodgers didn't even have a lead in that series against the D-back. So I mean, they've been playing really good baseball. I don't know that that would continue against the Phillies if that ends up being the matchup,

but it's hard to kind of say anything about the D-backs right now. So last thing with the Phillies' braves, again there is there is still the series is an over if the Braves do come back and win this what what happened. Ooh, uh, Strider lights out game four. I think if if the Braves come back and win the series, it'll be because of how they got there. They just they bludgeon every team to death. Like they their offense hasn't done dick. Like obviously they had in game two that big comeback the Austin Riley to run home run in the eighth inning, but they haven't they haven't flex their muscle. Like even in that game, they needed to come back in like the seventh inning. Like there hasn't been a game where they just put their nuts on the table yet. If they're gonna come back, they're gonna have to do that. Like last night, like perfect example, like the Phillies hit six home runs.

That's a ties a postseason record. It was a franchise record for most home runs in a single postseason game. They're gonna have to do something like that where they're just kind of establishing their dominance and they haven't done that. Like when I was there for game one Strider first pitch Schwerber your boy hit an absolute nuke off the wall the entire ballpark just went silent It's like the brave just got rocked in the jaw the first second of the game and they didn't really recover I mean obviously you had like to come back in game two, which was phenomenal

But I'm talking about game one, like they were just absolutely stunned. Like they've gotta come out firing. Okay. All right, I do wanna talk more about the Diamondbacks. I have a question though about the Astros who are now in their seventh straight A, L, C, S. Seven straight.

Have the Astros won enough that it doesn't matter that they cheated anymore? Because it feels like we'll get to a point where yes, they cheated. We all that they cheated anymore because it feels like we'll get to a point where yes, they cheated. We all know they cheated. But now they're on seven straight ALCS's. They won a World Series after they cheated. They are dominance in their like, they're just so such nails when they get to the playoffs.

Has that, have we reached that point yet where it's like, hey, we know what happened in the past, but they're just so fucking good. You can't take anything away from this team. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. I mean, so I said that you almost have to respect it, but I get the people that are coming back saying, Oh, they cheated. So like, I don't, I don't have to respect them.

I get that too. But I think baseball has created such parity in their sport and the randomness of the postseason, like the debacks being in the NLCS with what 84 wins and a negative run differential that that makes it all the more impressive that the Astros have gotten to seven straight American League championship series. But, you know, I think when you go back and look at it, the Astros got caught for 2017, but I think you can still kind of like squint go back and look at it, the Astros got caught for 2017, but I think you can still kinda like squint your eyes and look at 18 and 19.

You're like, okay, like those years were kind of sketched too. They were only punished for one year. So it is seven straight. Me personally, I give them credit for it. Like it is what it is. I think that they didn't, what they have proven to me and should be to a lot of people is that they never had to cheat in the first place.

Correct. Yeah. Whether or not they would have won in 2017, that remains to be seen. Maybe the Dodgers have a strong case for, oh, they stole a world series from us. But as far as getting there, seven straight, I don't think that they needed to cheat to do that. They were talented all along to be able to do that. And Dusty Baker is so likable as a guy. He's a great shield for that organization too, where it's like, you can root against the Astros, but then when you see Dusty doing this thing, you're like, I like that guy. I want that guy to win, right? It's impossible to not like Dusty Baker. Like when he, when he won the World Series, uh, that was a moment that it just, it would have felt almost like,

you know, like Dan Merino never win in a Super Bowl. It's like, how do you get Dusty Baker in a dugout for that long being such a legend? And to, like, even to have a guy like Barry Bond's in Jeff Kent, like on his team, and to not actually win a World Series with those guys. So even to all the Astros haters out there, I think when Houston won their non-cheating world series, a lot of folks are probably sitting there being like, you know what, fuck the Astros, but I'm happy for Dusty Baker.

And Dusty Baker, he invented the high five. People forget that. People forget that. He invented the high five. It's hard not to celebrate the guy that invented the high five. Yeah, 100%. That's the fact. Okay, so Astros and the LCS going up against the Rangers,

I will be fully honest. I don't know anything about the Rangers other than the fact that they feel like their offense is incredible. And then they have Shurser at two, but Evolve the year former guy who just shoves. Like what is, why are the Rangers this good? Why are they playing this great baseball right now because they haven't lost as well.

So the thing you need to know about the Texas Rangers is their bullpen is absolute trash. They haven't had to run into any of those issues yet in the postseason because they've just been bludgeoning teams of death with their offense. You mentioned Scherzer. He hasn't pitched yet in the post season. He's been hurt, but he feels good. And we could see him in the ALCS. There's a chance for that. He felt good the last time that he threw, but their offense is just,

I mean, this is what they've been doing all year. Like when you look at the matchup between the first seed Orioles and then you have the Texas Rangers who didn't win their own division. The the Rangers had a better run differential than Baltimore. So people are calling that an upset. I don't think it was, but they they made one of the best moves at the deadline. They traded for Jordan Montgomery.

It was on the Yankees and then he was on the Cardinals. That was the Harrison Bader deal, But Montgomery was great in his first start, not so great in his second start, but it didn't matter because that, I think the the Ranger score like 11 runs in that game. But there are Achilles heel all year has been their bullpen. Like there was a point where they had blown X amounting like like whatever it was, like 20 games or something like that.

Like their bullpen cost in the division hands down. So if the Rangers don't end up in the World Series, it's going to be because the games are tight against Houston. Houston has that playoff experience. They've been there. They've done that. They can hang with you in that series. So yeah, that's, that's going to be what cost them if they don't get there. Do you think I've noticed about Sherrzer too? sometimes he is his own bullpened. So he'll

start out and he'll get rocked in the first inning in the second inning and he looks like dog shit. And if you leave him in, he'll like come in for a leaf for himself, settle down and then go lights out. Innings like three through eight. If you let him, it's about just like trusting that he'll get there eventually. Have you noticed that about Shurzer? Is he like a guy that gets stronger as a game goes on? Yeah, I mean, like Verlander is the same way. Like those dudes, like that was Verlander's M.O. when he was younger would be, he would start out throwing like 94, 95 and then he would pitch into the eighth inning and be throwing 98, 99 miles an hour hour. Surezer, I think whatever you get out of him right now is a bonus. I think if you're a ranger's fan and you're looking at this series, you're thinking,

all right, if we get Max Sherser at all, I'll be happy with four innings. You know, like you slide him down the rotation. Maybe he only has to go in a game four situation and then available out of the bullpen in a game seven, something like that. Like he's not going to be the front line bulldog that you're talking about. That that role has been taken on by Nathan of Aldi. Nathan of Aldi. This dude has balls the size of basketballs and we saw what he did with the Red Sox in the postseason 2018 did the same thing in the wild card game in 21 against the Yankees. He's been there done that in October. He got hurt over the summer and when the Rangers were kind of sliding like they

were a first place team and then the Mariners came out and nowhere Houston was lingering the whole time. He just said, fuck it. Like, I'm not, I don't need rehab starts and he just went from being on the sidelines for a month and change to put me back out there. We have games to win. And that's why, you know, going into the playoffs, a lot of people were thinking, well, what are we going to get out of Nathan of Aldi when it turns to the playoffs? He just flips a switch and he's been nails. He's, he's a horse. He is. Yeah. That's, that's what Dave's been like talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, dude's a horse. He's a horse. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's what Dave's been like talking about. It's like, yeah. Yeah. Dude, dudes from Texas that just can squat 600 pounds and go out there

and shove and that's, that's Nathan of all the, yeah. And just throw it right, right down, you know, your throat. All right. The diamond backs, they are the hottest team right now. It feels like they just completely emasculated the Dodgers. I, I actually before we talk about the diamond backs, what the hell do the Dodgers do? Because it feels like every year outside of getting the entire playoff system changed, which it feels like they are trying to get where there is no, you know, you could make the argument that the teams that don't play that first week are at a disadvantage, even though it's a small sample size because we've only had these new playoffs for a few years. But what do the Dodgers do? Like they every year is the same story.

They have an incredible team. They they they win the West and then they get to play offs and they're disappointing. Moody bets. I don't think you even had a hit. No, he didn't. I think Freddie Freeman and Moody were like one for 21 and it was an infield single.

I think when you look at the Dodgers, it just kind of just puts it out there that the regular season is a different game than the playoffs. When you look at the Dodgers, they won 100 games, they won the division. It's the same thing because now people are making excuses of well, they didn't have Dustin May. They didn't have Walker Bueller and Tony Gonslin got hurt and Julio Aureus had the domestic violence thing.

He can go fuck himself. He's not going to probably pitch in the big leagues again. That's his second strike there. So like, that's like any other team, you take four fifths of their rotation away and they're fucked. The Dodgers still won 100 games in their division. So I don't know, it was next man up for them and it was enough for them to have this six.

If you take out 2020, the 60 game season that they won the World Series and you go back to 2019 and then you have 2021 and 22 and then this year they're averaging over a hundred wins during the regular season a year And then they get to the playoffs and they get bumped in the division series I think they they made it to the NLCS in one of those years that I just mentioned But it's just a different game in the playoffs, but this specific Dodger team right now Mookie bets Freddie Freeman Maybe one of the best one, two punches

atop of a lineup ever, and they went missing, and you kind of look down the rest of the lineup, and you're like, where's, like if you can contain those two guys, where's the threat? Like Will Smith is not gonna carry you to a world series. So I don't know from like a roster construction perspective, it's very confusing that they were good enough to win 100 games on regular season. And then they show up in a playoff

series against the team like the debacks that had a negative run differential that didn't even win 90 games. And they just get knocked around to the point where they did not have a lead. They didn't have a lead in this series. And the dude Brandon Fought that went out there and fucking started, that he had like a 10 ERA. Like he's, he's, no disrespect to him. He's gonna be, he's a good young pitcher. He's gonna get better.

He's very young. But he did not have a good year this year. And he just went out there and shoved it up the Dodgers ass. Like, I don't know what as an organization What they're supposed to do to change the culture there because it's not an issue of oh, we don't have enough talent Like yes, you can talk about the injuries in the rotation all of that is valid But it didn't stop you from winning a hundred fucking games. Yeah, the regular They need to post Dan Herron Dan Herron is doing the the greatest job coaching job of all time with these diamond packs

Yeah, Dan Herron is he's greatest job coaching job of all time with these diamond packs. Yeah. Dan Heron is working miracles over there. Yeah. So when you're talking about like roster construction and making a team for the post season, as opposed to the regular stage, I don't know that that's an excuse for the Dodgers because you should be able to score runs in the playoffs if you have a team that wins over 100 games. I don't think that's like a macro versus micro, but if you're talking about that, because I have heard people say it famously, I think A-Rod brought that up on the broadcast a couple of years ago when

you just talked about macro versus micro for two innings, but you never really got into what it actually means. So if you're making a team, if you're designing a team in the lab to succeed in the playoffs and not the regular season. What are the changes you're making? What's the actual difference in product that you'd want to put on the field for playoff success versus regular season success? Yeah, I think at this point, if you're the Dodgers, it's, it's, you've gotten embarrassed enough to where their next move is going to be Shohei O'Tani. Like, I don't know that he, because now Shohei is in a position where it's like, all right,

everyone's got money now. Right. All of you are billionaire owners. I'm going to pick my team. I think if he doesn't end up with the Dodgers, it's not because they didn't have the highest bidder they weren't aggressive enough. It's because he chose a different organization. Like, he's choosing his forever home right now.

I think his next contract is going to have no opt-outs in it. He chose a different organization. He's choosing his forever home right now. I think his next contract is going to have no opt-outs in it. We talked to Passon on the podcast a few weeks ago. I thought because of his injury that he was going to have an opt-out after year two, where it's like, yeah, I'll dh for a year. Then that second year is when I'm going to pitch and reestablish my value, then opt-out then goes somewhere. Passon was like, wherever he goes, he's going to have no opt-outs.

That's going to be his forever home. So the Dodgers are definitely going to be one of those teams. They strategically got under the luxury tax that they could blow past it in the case of signing a show. Hey, but that's what you have to do. I mean, it's not always the recipe for success. This is just throw half a billion dollars at the problem. Like we looked at what the Metz did this year. they spend a fuck ton of money and it didn't get them anywhere. They had an embarrassing season. The Padres had a world series parade in January and they spent a ton of money. That didn't work out. But then you look at the Texas Rangers. How crazy is it that the Texas Rangers spent, you know, half a billion dollars on their middle

infield with Semi-in and Corey Seeger. Corey Seeger probably had the best season in the American League outside of Shohei, but their big free agent acquisition was Jacob DeGrom and he's not factoring into any of this and they're in the ALCS. So sometimes spending a ton of money helps. And I think that that's kind of where the Dodgers are going to have to go is fans just by scrolling through Twitter and all the replies and reactions to this series. They're kind of like Ripshit at

Mookie. It's like Mookie bets is an MVP perennial candidate and they're pissed at him for not doing anything in the playoffs. And then after the Gambian like, you know, like the little the debacks are a good team too. Yeah, they're not nearly as good as you. What are you talking about? So, so talking about the debacks, like obviously Zach too. Yeah, they're not nearly as good as you. What are you talking about? So talking about the debacks, like obviously Zach Galen is a top of the rotation number one. But how are they doing this when like Tommy Fann, I think, is batting third for them. I did love I did love turning on the game last night. And like we've been in New York all week with surviving bar. So so I haven't been paying a ton of attention, but seeing the Dodgers have to throw out Lance Lynn that fat face of his costus even said

it. He's like he's he's very large. It like I was like, oh, this is a problem because Lance Lynn like he's he's just going to give up dingers at some point. Even did like a he did like a celebration after the third and then gave up for home runs and the fourth, but how are the how are the diamonds like could the dime backs win the world series? So here's the formula for playoffs success. Good pitching, good defense, hit homers. And the debacks are hitting homers. They hit four off a landslide in the same inning.

That's the first time we've ever seen it. So it's not about like with the Dodgers, like, you know, we have a little bit of length here in the middle of the order. Like we got guys that can hit doubles and they can get on base and they can walk a lot. That's great. about like with the Dodgers, like, you know, we have a little bit of length here in the middle of the order. Like we got guys that can hit doubles and they can get on base and they can walk a lot. That's great. But if you're not hitting homers, you're not winning in the playoffs in the in the series

it with the debacks and the brewers. When we asked passin, you know, who's your dark horse for the playoffs? He was blowing the brewers all day because the defense was great. One of the best in baseball and the pitching was great. It's like, all right, well, what about the offense? Like, do they have guys that can hit homeers? No, they didn't win a fucking game. And like, that's, that's basically what you have to do.

It's, it's not about, you know, we're going to grind out at bats here. And we're going to wear down the pitcher and his pitch count, all that. It's, can you hit homers at a rate that you can out home or the other team? Like the playoffs is all about hitting home runs. We just saw it last night with the Phillies. We saw it last night with the D-backs. Like the teams that are hitting more home runs,

those are the teams that are winning. Yeah, I actually go to Magic Johnson for all my baseball analysis. And I thought he hit the nail on the head. He said, the Dodgers didn't hit or pitch well. That's why we lost the series, the Diamondbacks. Tough to argue with. Facts.

It's really, yeah, it's hard to dispute anything that he said there. Yeah, so there was also another take. I want to hear your feedback on speaking at the Diamondbacks. There was a Wisconsin podcast host, Bart Winkler. He said, the Diamond backs aren't good. Beating the brewers in a three game series and then beating the Dodgers in a five game series doesn't prove that wrong, but they are now in the NLCS.

This league is so stupid. Every baseball fan should be outraged by this bullshit. Are you, you are a baseball fan, Jared, you're a seam head. Are you outraged by this bullshit? I'm not outraged by this bullshit. Honestly, I think I think it gives hope to other teams out there that it just reinforces all you have to do is get in to have a chance, which is kind of why I want to kind of like mix up the playoff format again. I want to go back to the one game playoff for the wild card. And then I

want to make the division series best of seven. I think that if you're an owner and you're like, well, that's, you know, like if you want to make the wild card one game again, it's like, well, that's fewer games. We're not going to make as much money than you make the division series best of seven. I think it rewards teams with more depth by having the like I still think honestly the the debauch still would beat the Dodgers, but something specific to the Braves Philly series like this deserves to be seven games like I feel like it has a chance to go seven, you know, these two teams and we'll never know now. But yeah, the the debauchs doing what they've been doing is only going to encourage those. I don't want to say bottom of the barrel, but maybe the the less financially supported teams like, hey, you know, one move here, one move there, we can maybe we can't win 100 games like the Orioles just pulled a hundred wins out of their ass. Maybe we can't win 100 games, but maybe we win 86 games, we get in and then we see what happens.

I think it only encourages a more competitive balance where teams actually care. The Oakland A's just throwing out the worst team in baseball history and the Kansas City Royals doing what they're doing. I think it should give hope to those teams where like, hey, if we put in like a little ounce of effort. We could sneak in and maybe fluke a world series. I'm like, that I grew that I think it keeps interest higher across the board across more fan bases. But then on the other hand, if, if you have it that way, then if your team is like really, really shitty on purpose, like the A's, it makes you that much more frustrated where it's like, Hey, you don't even have to spend a lot of money You just have to like make sure that you spend less money than the last place guy and we have a chance and unless you're just

Dirt poor and being cheap as hell every team should have at least some hope at the start of the year You know what they should do they should have every team for at least the first round of the playoffs Maybe even the first and second round of the playoffs. They should have every team be in, and it should go off run differential. That would be sick. So like the, the, the, the Orioles in the, in the A's play a one game, playoff game, but the score starts 129 to minus 330.

How sick would that be? I do the other games, you'll play. They might get, like, do you think that they should get rid of divisions at this point? Like wouldn't that make more sense might get, like, do you think that they should get rid of divisions at this point? Like, wouldn't that make more sense? No, I'd like the idea of development. No, I like the idea of it.

It might just be because we grew up with divisions and so it's familiar to us. But I like the idea of like, indivision rivalries. We're traditionalists. We think they should make, they should make interleague play like a two week thing like it used to be.

Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I like the, it's basically the show Hey rule, right? Like they, they want to be like, Hey, we have this global superstar. We want everyone to come out and see him. Uh, and attendance was, uh, I think it was the best that it's ever been in like 30 years. That's because the basses are bigger. I think the basses are bigger. They're like, you know what? People want to come out and see these pizza boxes. Yeah. And they're coming out and droves to see them.

The dumb question, how big are you legally allowed to make the mitt when you get to first base and to like steal second base? Like could I make a mitt that's 90 feet long? I mean, I guess you could. I think when Buck show Walter before he took the mess job, he, I think he was doing MLB network or something like that. And he was saying, why?

Even if you don't care to protect your fingers, why isn't everyone wearing those? Because it just gives you an extra inch or two to be safe. That could be the difference of being safe for all. Like every based runner should be wearing that fucking. It'd be funny if it was like, you get to first base and it's like fly fishing. See, if you can just get your mitt all the way to second.

That's my hands, my hands in there. Or just put those giant number one foam fingers on you. And then it's like it's second with that. Like baseball is the sport we're thinking outside the box and cheating and doing random things to succeed. You would think that there would be a nerd somewhere in every organization. Be like, hey, I don't care if you care about protecting your fingers or not. Like you should be wearing the oven mitt because it gives you an extra two inches. Yeah. The bases are bigger.

So now it's, uh, it's like four and a half inches that you didn't have before. Yeah. We've been saying four and a half inches is pretty big, right Max? Oh, yeah, baby. We've been saying that there should, that a smart coach would just not have a catcher on the first and second pitch of an abat. And so you get an extra fielder out there. And then you just be the pitch is coming straight at the umpire. You don't need to catch

that shit. Yeah. Now I think the new rules have been great. I think. So Dan, you'll appreciate this as a wrestling guy. Why aren't fans? Because I saw in Minnesota, the twins, because I think it was talking about like a like they were actually doing the pitch count, the twins, because I think it was talking about like a, like they were actually doing the pitch count, like count down, but they were doing it real. Yeah. So fuck with the pictures. Yeah. Wouldn't you do the count down, like the Royal Rumble, but not the actual thing to fuck with them? It's like college basketball. College basketball. All the time, the shot clock, they'll, they'll do a fake shot clock when you're in one of the big, environments and they'll always speed up a guard at least once or twice

again. Yes, like you need to start like five, four, three, two, one at like eight sets, like Max, you need to get the like Philly's fans, the perfect fanbase to do that. They're a bunch of scumbags. It's a term of endearment. They're loud. It's something that they would do. So if we're going to see it, I think we should we should see it at the bank, but I am shocked that in this first year of the pitch clock that we haven't seen fanbases fuck with the pitchers. It's true. It's true. You're talking about show here earlier. Where would where the funniest place for Otani to end up next year be? Uh, Japan. Yeah. It's like, you know, this cowboys. Yeah. It's just like, you know what? Fuck this dude. Like I want to go home and he just left. But as far as like what team

Hmm, that'd be great because we could just be like he could never cut it in MLB. Yeah, afraid of bright lights Or would people just start watching Japanese baseball more than MLB Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I feel like probably the match like whatever team would have the chance of breaking him. The most would probably be the match Uh, I don't I mean the pirates. I don't know where he's gonna end up I don't know. I don't like the fact that there are rumors that the Red Sox are all hot and bothered over show Hey Because I don't want to be the team that like ruins him I don't want to be the team that breaks it. I don't want to have to be the organization that when he's 36 years old Being like, hey man, like I think you you should probably pick one or the other. I don't want to be that team when he's 36 years old being like, hey man, like I think you should probably pick one or the other.

I don't want to be that team. When he got hurt, were you like Ben Verlander? Did you literally throw up? No, I didn't literally throw. I wasn't creaming his grind throwing up like Ben, but he, uh, he literally threw it. He literally threw it. Is he okay now?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he fell to his knees in the middle of a Walmart or that, you know, my heart goes out to Ben. But, uh, yeah, no, that's, I don't know where he's gonna end up. Do you want him on the cubs? I'd want him on the cubs. Why not? He's fucking awesome.

Yeah. I don't know what the money up for him, but I would love him on the cubs. Why not? He solves everything. I think if you're, if you're a major league owner right now, you have to look at it. Not as, because I think owners now are afraid to go out and spend $400 million because it's like, well, what if this player, like look at Anthony Rendon. He is one of the highest paid players in baseball.

He still has a fuck ton of money left on his contract. And he admittedly is like, I wish I could retire. So like his heart's not in it. His body is failing and he's owed like $36 million over the next five years or something like that So I get why owners block at paying guys like that type of money in their their thirties, but With show hey, it's almost like a marketing expense. Yes. Yeah, I'm not you I'm not paying him for what he's gonna do baseball wise if I pay show Hey otani to play for my team

I know that he's a baseball robot like all he's gonna do baseball wise. If I pay Shohei Otani to play for my team, I know that he's a baseball robot. Like all he thinks about is baseball, he trains for baseball. He has his life revolves entirely around baseball. I'm gonna sell tickets, my viewership is gonna go up, I'm gonna sell merch. Like it's an attraction. So that's why I kind of expect these random ass teams

to be in on Shohei knowing that, hey, it doesn't matter if this guy performs to the contract. It's just going to be like, if my team is a circus, this is our star track. And also, you can't, you can't do the like one guy had a bad contract because you know how owners think like price harpers, a example of hey, think that was worth it. Yeah. It was very much worth it. You know, be awesome though. If show, hey, went to Colorado.

It was just hitting him and Chris Bryant. You know, nooks every day. That would be the best, wouldn't it? I mean, yeah, wherever he goes, I'll support him. I'll watch. I just wait. If you go with the Yankees, you know what? Dan, Dan is the reason why I went in on the Yankees

as hard as I like, he brought the beast out of me. Like, it was dormant for so long. Like, I hated the Yankees in 2003, 1999, 2004. Like, when Johnny Damon went there in 2006, but that beast laid dormant for so long. And then in 2018, I was just like, you know, the Yankees are another team to me. And I meant that. I was like, you know, you beat him. You were better than them. No, it was more just like, my rival is the team that stands in front of me in the way to a world series title. And Dan was like, nope, it's the Yankees. You should hate the Yankees. And it just, you know, I just got a little whiff of those old days. And it hasn't stopped. It was, it was the, it's the Yankee fans in the barstool office.

Yeah. Getting them riled up. Uh, I mean, I had a lot of fun, you know, pinched right Dan and all that stuff. But yeah, you, you, you like, that's what it's about. You got to go against your rival. Uh, what's your world series prediction? Ooh, um, this should be easy because you only have five teams left. I know.

Well, my preseason pick was Padre's Blue Jays. Oh, God. So when you say the January world series parade, you're talking about yourself. You gave them a parade. Padre's Blue Jays. Is it safe to say that the nationals won that trade for Soto? Yeah, I mean, like the nationals, they've got what?

Like already like three dudes on their big league roster from that trade already. Fleeced, Soto could end up in Boston. I wouldn't mind seeing that. That's the scuttle butt. He would just go yard all day in that short period. Yeah, I just don't want him to go to New York. By the way, one last note on Shohei,

before my World Series prediction that I'm buying time on. I don't like when we talk about the Japanese superstars and they're like, oh, they definitely want to be on the West Coast. Why? Oh, because it's closer to Japan. Like these guys, it's not like college

where you're picking a college and you go home on the weekend. Like Shohei is not going back to Japan on the weekends. Why does it matter geographically if he's close to Japan or disagree? I actually think that they're more Japanese Americans that live on the West Coast than any other. For sure. Also, you're just like, you're trying to fight against one of our favorite things on this show is like sport clichés where like guy coming into the NFL draft. Oh, well, did you

know that he actually had the coach of the coach of the Broncos was at a camp that he went to when he was 15 years old. There's a connection there. You got to just go connections wherever you can. Yeah. I get it. I get it. But selfishly, I just want show Hey on the East Coast because it's a pain in the balls to have to like stay up late to watch Show hey I do that. Yeah, you should become a flat-earther. What does that have to do with time? Might just be I actually get there. I actually think it would make it farther away. It would yeah Because it's up north. So it's like you cut a diagonal. You can just figure out maybe you come like yeah like a triangle Erther you have to make it so like you know or third. You have to try to wake it up.

Try to wake it so like, you know, you straight you're up. You know what it is? It's like, we expect Shohei Otani to go to like the Giants or probably Seattle because it's like, well, each of our own played in Seattle. Yeah. That's basically Japan. But yeah, you can't fight against that.

Just lean into just being dumb sports fans. Yeah, you're right. You're right. World Series prediction. Phillies, Phillies are over the Rangers, which it sucks because I just got this fucking Texas flag button up. What's the thing called? What it like? It's like a, oh, the Bolo tie?

The, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I got one of those and I got like a Texas button up and then Kimmelar bought me this cowboy hat. So that looks like a stripper cowboy hat. That's not a real cowboy. That's like leather and shiny. Yeah, well, it's leather. Yeah, it's like magic Mike. Well, we bought it. We bought it at a leather shop. So I've got like the boots. I've got the whole thing going. So it's going to suck if I have to pick against them in the world series, but it just feels like the Phillies won't be denied. They feel they feel more inevitable this year. This is

great. That we're doing this before. Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. Also, Jared, because you got a bunch of Texas shit. You know that the the Rangers are playing against the Houston Astros. Also, I do know that. Also, I do know that. What? Yeah. So Jared, last question, So it's actually what yeah, so Jared last question, um, rowback question, RHO, B, A, C, K, dot, com, he's promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Excuse us, Polo's hoodies, jogger shorts, rowback.com, promo code, take 20% off. Uh, so the red socks don't have a GM right now, correct? Kind of sort of there's a, there's, uh, there's folks acting behind the scenes.

Okay. Is it a zero percent chance that Jared Krabbs is the next GM of the Red Sox? Listen, we've had conversations, none of which I can speak about publicly, but. We just did. Well, I mean, well, I know comments it there, but yeah, I'm gonna play out my 30s as a podcaster,

and then once I get to my 40s, that's when we bring in the big guns, like PD, Alex Corgo's upstairs, then we just stop bringing in all the big guns. So, but is there, like, I'm being dead honest, like, there's gotta be at least like a half a percent of your brain being like, what if, what if they just call me up and they're like,

look, you know the red socks better than anyone, we want you as the GM. I mean, did you know, I, like 10, a little over 10 years ago, I almost worked in the Orioles front office. Really? So you could, like, so you have,

basically you've worked in the front office. Yeah, you could say that I'm basically like an executive, like I could be a candidate at this point. I don't know that I would wanna do that though. Oh, shut off. No, I do fucking liar. Because then you could have to apply cash criticizing yourself. No, but he doesn't criticize the red socks. Yeah, he doesn't criticize anyone. Yes. Oh my god. Yes, I do. I mean, when they're in last place, you think I'm happy. I'm miserable. Would you if you were

If you were the GM of the red socks, would you still do the obnoxious all caps tweets after a win? See, that's what I Don't want to do. Those are more that have to be in your contract being like, please let me keep doing these. But I don't even want to do those anymore. So I started doing those in 2014 after the Red Sox lost 10 straight games and they finally won a game. That's when I did the first one. And I've just been doing it for every win ever since.

Like, I don't think people understand. I annoy myself. Like, I read some of this shit that I tweet. Like, that's why I stopped doing the Yankees lose tweet. There's like that. I'm not fucking annoying though. But I'm annoyed by, like, if I'm a Red Sox fan, how am I supposed to talk shit back to back last place seasons?

Yeah, but no, you gotta hang on to that. Like, hold on to whatever bit of hate that you have. Because when Yankees lose, that's now your biggest victories. True. And when I was in Atlanta, I thought for sure that like Braves fans that came out to the watch party were going to be like, yeah, you know, like we, you know, discovered you when you start talking about the late, the Braves lineup, fucking.

No, so many people like, oh, I discovered you because of the Yankees lose tweets. Like in 2019, like I discovered you from from hating the Yankees so much. And I was like, okay, all right. So I guess I have to go back to that. How do you come up with the nicknames for the Red Sox? When you do the all-caps tweets, is it just like overnight you wake up and you're like, yeah, Rafi Big Sticks or whatever?

Yeah, it's usually a lot of like dick references in the nicknames. They just, they come to me. It's a, you know how Paul McCartney wrote yesterday in a dream. Yeah, that's how I come up with the nicknames a lot So while you're masturbating, what was this? It was there one guy who was Sleeping bags or something duffle bags Mitchy two bags

And and scoops who scoops? Yeah, cuz he Yeah, well no, no, no, not once no, no, no, no, no, that was how they rewarded him. If he did something good, then he would get a good ice cream. So you got to think ahead like what is what is Otani's gonna be when he's red stock. Ooh, so we also didn't like do nicknames for like star players. We gave nicknames to players that were lesser known. Yeah, they needed like that extra fan support. So we gave nicknames. So what's what's the worst nickname you ever gave? The one that you wish you had back when you listen had back I don't know they're all kind of bad at the end of the day. I think Jared South will Machia we gave him the perm that was pretty bad

That was pretty bad. That was pretty bad. The ice horse is still the best one. That's a great one. Yeah, ice horse is a great one. Yeah, like sometimes you give a nickname to someone and you're like, yeah, that's gonna pop. And then other ones, you're just like, oh man, we are trying to get something over this. It's just like, it's not gonna work.

Yeah, a couple other personal questions, Jared. How many hours a week do you spend exclusively training biceps? Oh, so probably like two to three, because I mean, I've just been, I'm on like a seven day routine now. No, I don't do steroids. I know Billy's not in there right now,

but I wanna deny the steroid accusations once again. I also said I'm willing to take a steroid test. If you want a randomly drug test, me, I will randomly drug test. Well, no one says you do steroids. No, no, Billy, that I did steroids. Yeah, you did do steroids. I did steroids in 2011. Right. Right. Right. No one's saying you do them right now but you do steroids Billy said I did

steroids in during like multiple phases of my bar so that that means that you are a steroid user you are ahead you have died you have done what is a steroid user no it's like it's like fucking a goat if you fucking go your goat fucker yeah you've done it fair you're still I'm a more yeah, I was a steroid user.

You're on the Mitchell. You're a covering steroid user. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was on the Mitchell report. Yeah, yeah, I've turned I've turned a new leaf. Other question, a little birdie told me and I think that if true, this is move that kind of rocks and I respect on your part. I've heard that in your house, your living room is just your bedroom. Is that true?

Yes and no. Like it's so the, about this house had a big, like a giant master bedroom. And I was like, I don't need all that room to sleep in. So I turned the master bedroom into the media room and then I'm this is the podcast studio is the walking closet. So I just made my bedroom like it's one of like the smaller rooms

in the house. I was like, I just I'm going to sleep in there who cares. I don't need a lot of room in there. And then the big ass master bedroom is like the media room. It has like the big TV wall. I'm going to put a bar in there and then the walk-in closet's the podcast idea. So you made your master bedroom which is so big, you turn that into the living room. Yes. You also told, you don't really need a, do you need a bar in your house?

Do you have people that come over? That's like no, but like we can sponsor and make content of the bar. Okay, like, okay. When I make a friend, I can't wait to get a serious girlfriend and she's like, what is this house? Yeah.

What is going on here? That's what I was thinking when I heard that story, I was like, Jared, like the second a woman walks into that house. She's like, we're fixing all this. He basically made a tree house. No girls allowed me. Yeah.

Yeah. Which again, that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just a full meathead gym in the basement. And then a podcast to you, I'm doing like a secret movie theater. Like a lot. So there was like a, what do you mean the secret movie theater? You're the only one who's in on the secret.

At, but I'm gonna keep the secret. You're not gonna know where it is. God, it's gonna be, you know how like the gas tanks, like if you like push on the gas tank door and it pops open like that. Yeah. I'm gonna have like a big ass like picture frame that you just like pop open like that

and you open it and then it's gonna be like this like little like movie. Yeah, you're doing sleepovers with yourself, everything, right? It's awesome. Listen, I mean, it is a dude's rock house. It's a dude's rock house. I do have people over, whenever there's a WWE pay-per-view,

I have little dork parties, my friends come over. It's kind of like a melting pot of people from all different sectors of my life, and I just made them become friends with each other because you need a wrestling group. Well, you've made them become friends with each other because you're not a reliable friend. I am a reliable friend.

I have every single wrestling pay-per-view that come over. Both of you are more than welcome to come. I love it. You basically are, you know, like a five-year-old dreamed what, what their favorite, like their best house would look like when they grew up. And it's like, you know, we'll have the TVs everywhere. We'll have all my friends over for wrestling. It's, it's a one-to-one of baseball, every day. How long,, like how late into your day do you get before you think about baseball for the first time?

This is a paid advertisement. Okay, let's wrap up. We got fire fest the week Henry. My fire for the fest of the week. I don't really know. It's not like a fire fest in the sense that it's something bad that happened to me. It's just more embarrassing, I guess, to admit I don't really know the right words for it, but I, like two weeks ago, watched one video on TikTok about the Harry Potter movies and the things that should have been in the movies that were in the book. And I was a fan of the books when I was super young. Didn't really love the movies. Then I just started getting fed.

Where's this going? More Harry Potter, Tick to Talk, okay. The algorithm got you in the out of the socks. I've just been watching all the Harry Potter movies. Like one tick tock video two weeks ago has led to a large part of my you know Free time just being spent consuming Harry Potter. You ever wonder if like the big corporations get involved. Yes, tick-tock algorithm I've been thinking every day. They've made you yes now go back and watch all the movies

I had trust me. It's been all been going through my head where it's like it was truly one video I liked it which then just fed more videos and then I was like I'm gonna go watch the movies and then I was like they got me they got you 100% the algorithm is so bad now if you click on one video you just get it fed to you constantly I get a shitload of like mom influencers like like because like there'll be like a funny video that like I'll send my wife shim back to me about like parenting is this and now that's just my entire Instagram. Yeah, I wanted like it was nice when it was just like sports clips and boobs And now it's just something different. It's moms my mind to Graham is just a it's it's like stretches for your hips that I I saved one I've never got hot though. I don't do any of them. Yeah, it's like I couldn't move my back

And now I do this stretch every day and my lower back pain is gone. Yeah, I don't I don't do any of them. Yeah. It's like I couldn't move my back. And now I do this stretch every day and my lower back pain is gone. Yeah, and I don't do any of them. But every time I go, like, it was better it was whales. You click on it back to whales. You click on one tweet and it's just like, that's all you get for the rest of the day.

You get to start just actively searching for whales and liking those tick tocks. And then you'll be back. You also have to just start, I've just started muting things, like muting subjects as a whole, they just like, get away from me. Yeah, I've watched three Harry Potter movies this week.

We need to get rid of Thursday night football. They're probably gonna be mad at Al Michaels because he's like, we're not gonna spend a lot of time on Taylor Swift. Yeah, so. And they'll probably be like Sean Peyton, what the fuck are you doing with that timeout? Yeah, that's, these are all real things in this.

I thought this Russell Wilson guy, I thought Sierra's husband was supposed to be good. Yeah, nope, he's bad. We almost had a gummy. It was 1988 1927 is when it first happened New York Yankees versus Buffalo Bison Forget 96 years ago to the day to the day October 12 holy shit Holy shit what happened? What happened? I'm sucks.

I love how it didn't turn it the right way. I turned it the right way. This thinks sucks. The Max is getting cocky of a Philly's win. I not so cocky that he's he's yelling at machines for big

I just need a break imagine they fill these winning more games good Where else is there to go? Good question Jake the guys of his shirt is yelling at people like he's spinning on people Good question Jake you guys have a shirtie yelling at people like he's spinning on He's spinning up you know how to luge on his boss if I also want a very clear This is very different my future on the filly is very different than the Eagles future If I find an opportunity to hedge out that I can then start rooting against Max I will so Max you're out like a 12 today Hank you'll like that. I know how much higher can you get?

I don't know I don't? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It's I just got to live my life. Max said during the game he's like, so my brain just shuts off during the game. He's like, when is it on? He is like, he's like a five year old watching sports. Max, I want you to say the thing that you said about like which part of watching baseball

you like in which part you don't I I'll stand I'll stand that by this way right controversial take alert So if you're if you're in the company of minors if there's anybody that's sensitive to extreme discussions and like frankly real talk that some people are real Baseball aren't ready to have please turn off your radio right now All right, Max first off people are so radio right now. All right, Max, go ahead. First off, people are so confused right now. We're filming Fire Fest after the Phillies games. Yeah. Okay, after I've said that.

Yeah, I think people will be talking about. We just talked a lot about the Phillies winning. But like before this, we were like, I kept being... We congratulated you multiple times. I know, but I kept saying no. I kept being mad at you for doing that okay but now what I figure it all right so controversy so what I said what I said was in it I like when my

team is on offense and I don't like when my team is on defense that wasn't a hiccup by the way okay so go on your back it wasn't okay get space he knows it was no it wasn't a lot, guesspacin, that was the low. No, it wasn't. He hit a lot of pasta. That wasn't a hiccup. That was clearing my throat. I could see you look at each other.

I could see you two. We'll go back to the tapes. What, Max? Max, were you on my side of the debate that I'd bodied everyone in in the gambling cave about the top of the ninth? Yes, no, I was on your side that whole time, for sure. We had to wait. I'm sure you've got a lot of people who have been out of the way. I'm sure you've got a lot of

people who have been out of the way. I'm sure you've got a lot of people who have been out of the way. I'm sure you've got a lot of people who have been out of the way.

I'm sure you've got a lot of people who have been out of the way. I'm sure you've got a lot of people who have been out of the way. I'm sure you've got a lot of people who have been out of the way. I'm sure you've got a lot of I'd rather give up a three one shot. Three one. Just there's some momentum guy on base.

Solo shot. Get the crowd fired up. Wait, no, it's the road team. The road team. Top right top top. Would you add the crowd up? No, both are bad for the Phillies. All right, it's a walk.

You'd rather go up. Are you answering? What would you rather give up as a walk or a solo shot? Up three one in the top of the night first back? I miss her to all that I thought I thought we were down through one. You'd rather give up a solo shot. Yeah, okay good Who yeah people were disagreeing crazy? I don't even I don't even remember Well, so you have your closure and your closures and they're gonna get three out if he gives us a home run It's like you still tough to get three out right you get you get to run on first all of a sudden the tying run is on base

Yeah, and it's just all the nerves. Yeah, the nerves. I texted our friend Dan Harry. He said, no question. You'd rather give up a solo. And all it takes is one pass ball and you bleed off man on second. Yeah, yeah.

So you gotta make them put the barrel on the bat. Sorry for the trigger word. Knock her out of the park. No disrespect. No disrespect. Max is like, high right now. I don't know what I'm just, yeah, I don't I don't know about the next three weeks. If they go they go that far.

Oh God. We have three weeks of this. Well, it's also it was okay. I see something. Can I say something in the trust tree? Can I say something in the trust tree that no one can get mad at me for? Can I say something? Yes.

I want everyone to agree. Yes. Yes. It's like. Yes, sure. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. It's like, I'm gonna say something. You're fine. You need a verbose. Yes. Yes.

Yes. It would be a little bit funny if you had like a minor, minor heart attack. No. Yeah, what? You said you can't judge me. You're right. Got a one that like, I'm just saying like in the middle

of like a game, like, ah! We had to like, like one that we can wait a couple to take you to hospital and they're like oh you're fine Like drink this laxative you're just constipated.

Oh my god You're gonna you're gonna have a hard sack at this pace I don't know on pace for a minor hard. No, I think seven game series you have a little bit more breathing room

Yeah, that's sure the short series. It's like well, and also like tonight was a must win because you couldn't go back to Atlanta Yeah, but like I like like like this the George series the short series. It's like every one is so important right because like you lose one and you're just back that although When you go to a seven game series and you start the two games at home you have to both at least one of them but mostly both But you have to win at least one so you could be back into a must win like that

I'll be fine if you lose game one game two is a must that. I'll be fine. If you lose game one, game two is a must win. I'll be fine. I'll be so chill. I'll be so chill. I don't watch you. I almost like it when my team is just said that you do. I said when we kind of money. When my team a minor mine doesn't have home field. Oh, really minor one. Is your mom going to be mad? Oh, yeah. My mom mom's me mad I have my mom called me while we were recording and just said call me period I think she's upset with the way I talked to climber and I'm worried about the phone call Cover was triggering you know by saying the word barrel should we get her on the show?
