Now in the street there is violence And then a lot of stuff will be done No place to hang out or washing And then again they all on the sun

Oh no, we're gonna rock it down too He let Shrek I renew And then we'll take it higher It's part of my take. There's an about harshness for us. Welcome to part of my take today is Wednesday, October 18th and the Phillies are fucking good. They just had another solo home run probably. Probably. It's just, that's, that's what they do. And I was thinking that the other night when I was watching the Phillies game,

it was like they, they sure hit a lot of solo home runs, don't they? And I had no idea that tonight they set a postseason record. They hit 13 straight solo home runs. They've hit 19 home runs. In the last four games, they've hit 15 home runs. So the all-time record for homeers in a playoff, it was the Tampa Bay raise in 2020 with 34 home runs in those playoffs.

These fillies are on pace to destroy that record. And it's unreal. They have their lead off hitter. Like obviously Schwarber is hitting a lot of Dinger. He's yamming a lot right now. Most lead off postseason home runs all time. Yeah. And it just seems like every time I look at the Phillies play,

they've hit four home runs and they're up four zero. It's insane. They all are just trading who's gonna get hot, you know, like last series, Schwabber didn't hit any. He's hit what, three in two games. It feels like Cassianos, this is the first game in like weeks that he hasn't hit two home runs. Bryce Harper trades are on all these guys.

It's crazy. They are so goddamn good. The bank is electric. It's undefeated right now. And then the other stories, the Rangers are also very, very good. It's undefeated right now. Um, and then the other stories, the Rangers are also very, very good. It's, it's been a fun postseason playoffs. I know that the astronauts are never dead. And you know what? No, I'm not going to say the dimebacks are dead because they could still who knows? Go back to go back to Chase field, but, um, it's

looking right now like Rangers Phillies. And it's been so much fun like watching playoff baseball every night. It's, uh, it's got me reinvigorated. It's making me fall back in love with the sport. There's nothing like October playoff baseball. It's just, it's romantic. It is. And guess what? The games go quick. Yeah. It's nice. I like to pitch like, uh, going back to the bank. That's where the, that's where the debacks are going to their bank. Yeah. Their bank has a pool in it though. So it's a much less chill bank. We should ask Max because Max, I mean, you don't really have,

you're not angry, there's nothing to be angry about. I guess credit to you again, because you were right about the cast, the Anos barrel up in game two against the Braves, he then went on an insane streak. I guess you were also right to save all your energies and left the Eagles lose to the Jets so that you could, you know, be ready for these two games. How are you feeling? I mean, they're, you can't feel anything

but elated right now. Yeah. I mean, right today was just taking care of business. It's not even, you're getting excited early in the game, but now you're just, you're just watching your boys get the reps in. That's all, that's all that was happening late in the game here. I mean, I'm fired up, but it's it's hard to be raw raw when you see the 10th rungo. Don't don't waste them. You're wasting. But this team doesn't that doesn't exist. Oh, yeah, they just keep. No, Max, it does. It does exist. You're wasting. I guess. guess we'll big cat the good news is they're not really wasting runs because all their home runs are solo shots. Yeah.

So there might be wasting homers. They're they're wasting rally killers. Yeah. So that's a good place. Play some small ball, Max, get some guys on base and then drive them in. I mean, the last inning they shoot, they had nine guys coming to the plate. I know. The sixth or I don't know. Yeah, it's a pretty good. There's batting around. And then,

yeah, the Rangers, I was shocked to see them go and take two from the Astros. And even like game two, when the Rangers jumped out to a four o'leade, I was like, Oh, you know, the Astros are never, there's one team that's never drawing dead. It's the Astros. And they almost came back. I feel like that series like the Astros can't get swept, right? That's just not the Astros. No, it wouldn't happen. It wouldn't happen. It'd be a real shame, real shame, real shame. It'd be a real shame if they got swept. But no, they're not going to get swept. Okay. Have you seen their lineup? Yeah. I mean, it's very good. Max, you have home advantage in the world series against who a hoomst

The Astros not the Rangers. Oh, oh, oh, so you're already thinking about the world series No, you asked a question. Okay. I answered a question. Well, you had to have thought of that if you knew the answer right off the top of your head Yeah, I knew that I knew that answer before the series even started you got to be prepared for all situations There's still a lot of baseball to be played left We you know series doesn't start till a road team wins a game. Yeah. Good point. That's really true.

Care business at home. That's true. That's a fact. Yeah. So, so you, you would rather play the Rangers, but you'd rather have home field advantage. So which is it? I, you, you play who you play, you know, no, but you can answer which team you'd

rather play, Max. I would rather play the Rangers. Oh, so much. No, you're scared of the Astros. I guess you did get no hit by them. There was zero hits in a game. I, um, I was not the bank though, big cat. That was it. That was different. That's true. Is there a chance that Kyle Schwarber might become like the most beloved athlete of all time if he plays for enough teams. Yeah, he's awesome.

He's, it's rare that you have a guy and he left under different circumstances to each team. I think he was a free agent when he left the nationals and the Red Sox. Obviously, the, the Cubs just wouldn't pay him, which was ridiculous even at the time, but it was a situation where it's like, how can you not love the guy? And then he goes to Philly and he's beloved. Like I actually think that if he plays, maybe he needs to go a couple of West Coast teams

and it will just be like Kyle Schwarber might be able to run for president. Yeah, or go play in Japan. Like after his MLB career is over, make them love him too. Just say he's in politics. He's impossible impossible to not like. And I'm glad that we all got to share Swarber for a little bit.

Yeah, because we'll be all around. When you experience Kyle Swarber firsthand, there's nothing like it. Just the joy. The joy watching that big boy step up there and just mashed taters. And run. I love watching everybody. Oh yeah, I'm sorry for interrupting,

but it's like, it is so joyous to watch that man just trolley around the bases. Yeah, he went first to third on a single today, and it was it's just it's a joy He's deceiving he's got deceiving speed because he's slower than he looks. Yeah, um, we are sucking off the fill He's pretty hard here Melted on that is like wait, do I have to fight big guy right now? I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, most people that are objectively watching these games are having fun watching the Phillies. Like they are without a doubt the the funnest team in baseball right now. And between Schwarber, the rest of the guys hitting taters and then trade turners slides are just incredible. I love watching that dude slide the way that he pops up from it. It's just they're fun team.

That's a bottom line. They're fun team. I won't apologize for enjoying watching good baseball. Yeah, it's fun. And in the atmosphere is fun. And I'm sure the Rangers will be it'll be fun on Wednesday night when they go home up to Oh, I would like to nitpick one thing about the Phillies though. I broached this with Max earlier, but I was watching the celebration after the advanced against

the Braves. If you're Bryce Harper and you don't drink, are you allowed to be pouring beer on people in celebration? Like I would be having a great time in the clubhouse, but then you've got Bryce Harper, Mormon doesn't touch the stuff, but he's pouring it all over me. That doesn't feel right to me.

It's like when a guy with great lettuce wears a hat all the time, it's like, okay, dude, I'm a drinker. You're not a drinker. My culture is not your costume. Yeah, he's the sober dude, hitting on drunk chicks at the bar. You're not a drink. My, my culture is not your costume. He, yeah, he's the sober dude hitting on drunk chicks at the bar. Yeah. Okay, I guess this is fine, but it's kind of weird.

Well, no, like drunk, but not, you know, buzz chicks. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm not, I mean, they're standing at the bar. I'm not, yeah, maxing on brain with somewhere totally different. Well, I just want to make sure that we're not saying any bad things about one of the greatest players ever played. We're not in a great guy. I think he should have to he should have to pour like Mountain Dew on people. Yeah, ginger ale maybe that would piss people off so much. He's got Mountain Dew. Club soda with a lime in it. So no one can really tell. Yeah, Max, you agree with me though. Don't you? me though, don't you? Yeah, I mean, it's a little weird.

People, he doesn't really talk, he talks about like partying in the clubhouse after the game, but he doesn't talk about how he doesn't drink. So it's, it's a little bit strange. It's probably, he probably gets like a contact buzz, you know? Yes, like if you ever been in, like, if you ever partied in like a, like, college basement and like the fumes can get you drunk?

That's probably what's going on. I think honestly, Bryce Harper probably, like I could never do with Bryce does, which is hanging around drunk people and have a great time if you're sober. That's actually the worst. That's my idea of hell. Yeah, you got to leave once they start getting drunk and they like want to have a conversation with you about life. Yeah, exactly.

A conversation that you would absolutely love to have if you had six cocktails in you, but when you're stone cold sober, no, thank you. But yeah, credit to Bryce. I'm not knocking Bryce. It's sobriety. I'm just saying it's weird that he's like, dump it. He doesn't understand why beer is cool and he's dumping it on people. Yeah. All right.

Other things, Monday night football, Justin Herbert debate, rage is on. We talked to Baldi about this a little bit, but it is He is maybe the most polarizing Quarterback online and it's very funny because it's the perfect like debate for our times where there's a camp That says he can do no wrong. Then there's a camp that says he sucks and the truth is probably somewhere in the middle But on Monday night he did suck like he missed throws that would have won them the game and you expect Justin Herbert in what year four to make those throws.

It was just very funny too because it was like, all eyes, Dak Prescott should just play Justin Herbert every week because he can't be the most talked about quarterback when Justin Herbert's playing in a primetime game. And it was like there was moments in the game because he can't be the most talked about quarterback when Justin Herbert's playing in a primetime game. And it was like, there was moments in the game where it felt like Cowboys fans were pissed at Mike McCarthy and wish they had Kellyn Moore.

And then Chargers fans were like, please take Kellyn Moore back, he sucks. It was like, who can have a different opinion about Kellyn Moore here when the reality is he probably does suck, but also the Cowboys Red Zone offense sucks, so they badly want him back for that only that reason. Yeah, the charge was often to look pretty bad when Herbert was not only just missing throws,

but he was also just going to the wrong guy. He was starting to force throws. Yeah, when he had easier options open, see I think Justin Herbert is actually, him and Dac are not that dissimilar. They both kind of are good enough to make you think that they could be great. And then when they're not great,

you're like, what the fuck, this guy sucks, he's not great. Well, I've also, I've thought a way too much about Justin Herbert, because I still think he's very good. I think Justin Herbert's problem might be that he came in to the league very good and polished and ready to go. He hasn't really gone the next full level.

He's just always been very good and then has games where he's like, what the hell is going on here? Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't like back to what I was saying, which is like because of the fact that he came in pretty good, everyone's expectations went way up. Yeah, they expected that every year would get significantly better. And maybe he's just a pretty good quarterback, probably better than pretty good.

I would take him like someone's like, would you trade the number one pick for Justin Herbert in a fucking heartbeat? I would. Yeah, he's top 10. I think he's a top 10 quarterback right now. And everyone has been expecting him for the last like three off seasons. When you do your list, your preseason list, which I love so much, like who are the top three quarterbacks going to like Justin Herbert has found himself sneaking into that equation sometimes because of the expectation that people have. Dac has gotten over, actually, Dependule might have swung now on Dac. Well, we're pretty mean to him. We're mean to him, but we're like intentionally mean.

Yeah. It's like, yeah, Dac, you know what? Dac played well at times last night, he still stinks. Yeah. But he's gotten so much on the other side where he's gotten so much criticism that when he has a good game, people are like, oh, holy shit. This is great. But the truth, like you said, is in the middle with both those guys, I think, and Dax is probably at his, at Dax Peak, he's not as good as Justin Herbert at his peak. But still, like, it's all about the expectation that he set for him,

with Dax right now, the expectation is that he throws like four interceptions a game. So when he only has a couple interceptions this year, we're like, wow, I guess, Dac is a great quarterback now. And what did we say when he runs things happen? Like he started running a little more. I know he's been scared to run ever since he broke his leg. But when he runs in the offense give or the defense gives him places to run, he can unlock a lot more and looks, he had a good game. I say he played well. I mean, he even played like lights out. The Dallas defense played very well, but like he did enough to win the game.

I just looked it up. So Justin Herbert in his rookie year started 15 games. He threw for 4,300 yards, 31 touchdowns, 10 interceptions. That's phenomenal. And then his second year, he went 5,000 yards, 15, 38 touchdowns, 15 interceptions, played two more games. So he basically has been, and you know, same next year,

you know, over 4,000 yards, 25 touchdowns, 10 interceptions. He just hasn't, like, I think that everyone expected after that rookie year that he's going to be a 50 touchdown, like 13, 14 win guy. And that hasn't happened yet. So everyone's like, what the fuck's wrong with him? Like, well, he's always been very good. He just maybe hasn't gone a full step above.

And that's what everyone's waiting for. I think we just need to intentionally recalibrate our Justin Herbert expectations, like officially right now. Justin Herbert is basically Kurt Cousins, he's powder blue. Well, he made the biggest mistake you can make in life. He was, he raised his own bar to a level that he didn't have another level. That's why you always got a sandbag the first year.

You always got to suck the first year. And then when you take the step up, everyone's like, holy shit, look how good he is now. He was panicking too, I think, in the game. He gave off some Carson Wins type vibes at the end of yesterday's game. So just let's just say that Justin Herbert is the perfectly average quarterback in the NFL. And then, and we'll get to enjoy him when he plays well. And we also, um, he is, he, he, he is like on the chargers, which is a cursed franchise.

And I do admit that. So when people are like, oh, well, his defense sucks or his offense, I mean, he has a shitload of talent around him, but they are a curse franchise. He essentially has just become, he is Phil Rivers. He's going to be Phil Rivers. He's going to have his career, which is a great career, borderline, hall of fame career, maybe all of fame career, but it will always sit you, you always sit there being like, man, shouldn't there be more?

Mm-hmm. That's essentially what he's gonna be. Yeah, I hope not. I really do, because when he plays well, he's very, very fun to watch, but he did not play well in one day. Yeah, he's stuck. And we also, we got saved,

well, I guess the chargers saved Mike McCarthy from himself, because we're about to hit an all-time Mike McCarthy end-of-game timeout situation last night, where at one point, I think he burned a timeout with like, I don't know, 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and then there was another instance where they always before halftime, right? No, yeah, I was gonna save the halftime.

He had to try to give him a timeout. Two timeouts. He had two timeouts. And he tried to make him run the clock. Eight seconds left in the half, and they tried to give Mike McCarthy a timeout with eight seconds left. And he called the referee,

he's like, no, I didn't call that timeout. Yeah. And then they just ticked it down to three seconds and kicked a field goal. Like going with two time outs, I know that it was crazy. It was crazy to be like, hey, two time outs, we have some time.

Yeah, you know what, let's just settle for a field goal with two time outs. The ref, Joe Buck even set it on the broadcast because they went to commercial and they're like, I don't know what just happened to those five seconds because I thought we thought he called the time out at eight and then he told the ref to just run the clock for five more seconds. Yeah, the ref came over. He's like, you want to time out now, right? And Mike's like, what can you even really do in five seconds? Now, I get it back to that. We'll just, we'll just take the points.

Him and Brian Dable, with end of half clock management. Not good, not good in the NFC East this week. No, okay, let's we have a lot of college football to talk. And then we got hot sea cool throne, Baldi Drake May. So let's kick it to ourselves back in studio. And we'll get to all of that more football.

We got a lot to discuss. We do. What a weekend. We got a lot to discuss. We do. What a weekend. We got a lot, what a weekend. I think Washington Huskies won the weekend. Incredible, incredible game. They look so for real. Michael P. Nick's junior is, I still can't believe that he's the same guy that was in,

at Indiana because he's awesome. He's a legitimately great story too, like tearing both ACLs, coming back. That's got to be so frustrating if you're a great college quarterback because he was very, very good his first year at Indiana. Yes. When Indiana had a good, was that the COVID year? Yes, COVID year.

He was very, very good and then he just takes like two massive steps back. But yeah, that was absolute scenes in Seattle this week. Insane insane. It made me a little sad that the pack 12's not going to exist anymore, although Washington, Oregon will get to play every year, depending on the big 10 schedule. The so two things. One first Oregon, it feels like Oregon is just destined to lose this type of game every

year. Dan landing, great coach, a little confusing with some of his decision making. This was this game. It was funny because it was a high scoring game. It could have been even more high scoring because everyone just kept on getting stopped the goal line. I love the fact that he went for it at the end of the game to try to, yeah, you're trying to win the game.

You're trying to win the game right there. Fourth and three, the time that I didn't love and this is us being extra analytic, guys, was the end of the first half when they pick off Michael Penex, they drive down. There's four seconds left. They go for it on fourth and goal from the three. We have learned because again, we are smart analytics guys. Part of the analytics of going for it on fourth down in the goal line is the fact that if you don't get it, you get to, you flip the field and it's tough for the other team. You're most likely to get a punt.

Guess when that doesn't apply at the end of half, half time. Take the three points. There is, I'm not going to be the screaming, oh, feel goals, feel goals, feel goals, but there definitely feels like there's an aversion to feel goals. We need to rebrand feel goals. Point's still matter. I know that you don't win games with feel goals, but you can. Yeah. Kicks kicker, kick point still matter. I know that you don't win games with field goals, but you can yeah kicks kickers Matter points on also the score point you want to go one step further with it extra deep kicker analytics If you want your kicker to make a field goal at the end of the game get them in rhythm. Let them go out there See one go through it does better for me if you if you trust him because kickers we're a weak-minded people

We're very emotional. We're very fraught to being thought of as being not part of the football team. Do you think he was like, oh, he didn't trust me? Yeah. This chip shot? Yeah, so it's probably not true. Right.

But there's like, there's probably something in a lot of kickers' brains that are like, let me go out there and get some points because I'm automatic. I'll make it. Just send me out. And where your coach doesn't send you out, yeah, you can do that internal calculus and you're gonna be like,

well, he's doing this because of an analytical reason. But also at the end of the day, you're like, maybe he just didn't trust me that I was gonna make it. It's a let your kicker get in rhythm. But I do. And they lost by three. And it's like, I know you can't play the,

you know, the game plays out differently if they kick a field goal there, but it's not the worst thing to get bonus points, especially after an interception where Michael Phoenix doesn't throw a lot of them. That's point. That's bonus points. It's the first one. Take your three points.

Take your bonus points. Be contented with them. I like the decision at the end of the game. Yeah. He was playing it also a double analytics, an analytics game inside his own brain, which was, you're doing the too much time for Michael Pettek. Is it Pettek or Penex? I keep hearing both ways.

I say both. And I think that most people, when they say it on television, they're just afraid that they'll say Penex. So that's why they say Penex. Penex? I'm gonna say Penex. I like Penex. I love Penex.

Yeah, I love it. Have you seen Baby Penex? Are you talking about Baby Diggs? No, Baby Penex. Different guy. Yeah, yeah. Also spectacular. I like what he was doing, which was playing the too much time uh... your are you talking about baby digs bait no baby pnix different guy also spectacular um... i like what he was doing which was playing the too much time for penex

which will then actually leave too much time for bonix right at the end of the game and he ended up being right about that decision well it was that's not why they that's not necessarily why they lost that game they lost game because bonix didn't get the ball into the end zone or close enough on the final drive And that's why they lost I'm fine. They lost because they're kicker sucks. I'm fine. Well, yeah, that was a 40 yard 40 close enough. You should make it that's that's a 40 yarder You should make and maybe if Dan landing had trusted their kicker to go for three points at the end of the first half

He would have made that I just I'm totally fine with trying to win the game right there Especially with how good Washington's offense. And speaking of where Washington's offense, I've heard the analogy be made and I kind of like it. They still have a lot of schedule left like they have a couple of weeks where they should win easily Arizona state and Stanford, but then they have to go on the road to USC. They also have to go on the road to Oregon State. Second last weekend, people are starting to say is wash or the Washington Huskies similar to the 2019 LSU Tigers in the fact that their offense is absolutely electric and their defense maybe is getting good enough. Now, I think there's, there were more pros on the LSU 2019 team, but I always love whenever

we're like, Hey, look, this has happened before. Maybe it's going to happen again. It happened last year. I was guilty of this with the Tennessee volunteers, with the offense. But there are offense, I feel like, I don't know, I haven't looked at the numbers compared to the Huskies this year. But I feel like the Tennessee offense was better than this Washington Huskies. I don't know. This Washington Huskies offense. They're both very, very good.

And I learned a valuable lesson last year, which was, don't compare anybody to the 2019 LSU team until they win a national championship. It's fair. And then, and then you can do the comparisons and retrospect. Like, we'd never thought that we would compare, you know, any team to those USC teams with Reggie Bush, Lendale White, Matt Liner, those guys. There've been a lot of great college offenses. I'm going to wait until all the facts come out.

What was the, how's that sound? I saw that. I got to try to find it. I think it's Washington is averaging something like 8.7 yards per play. Something ridiculous. It's insane. It's insane.

And this was a game that a lot of people had Oregon winning because Oregon's defense is better than Washington's defense. Washington's defense played tough. And like if they can round into form, again, I'm also, so I agree with you, don't ever compare. I would say, I saw it. I saw people comparing Again, I'm also, so I agree with you. Don't ever compare. I would say I saw it. I saw people comparing it. I'm not comparing it because it's still

the pack 12 and there's still probably going to be some cannibalization of themselves. Like there were like what if you had to ask me what the most likely thing is, Washington catches a loss, maybe two losses and then beats Oregon in a in a rematch. And then they all are out. I feel like Oregon state is going to be a very tough game for for Washington. Yeah. I feel like that's good. That's one that you can't sleep on at all. But yeah, I it also be interested to go back and look and see how the Bengals offense performed after the comparison to the LSU 2019 team came out. If like Tennessee started getting all that clout and then Joe burrow and

Jamar chase were like, Hey, fuck that. Let's just remind them how good we are. Yeah. And then they have that thing is if you go just pros, there's there were there were probably although Washington will have a couple first round picks, few first round picks. They have a two insane wide receivers. They have a really good ad rusher like, I don't know, they're playing good ball. It's fun. And it was I like it. It was very cool to see the Washington student section rush the field. There were probably like 25, 30,000 kids on the field at that game. Yes. It was over. It looked kind of scary. And again, I'm always in favor of storming the field. If you're, if you're in college, have fun storm the field whenever you want. Enjoy yourself. But they're starting to be like natural consequences

at storming field. Well, the players, the guy who stormed the field in Notre Dame was a douchebag. Deserved it. Yes, that was a douchebag. He went up to Caleb Williams. Where's your finger, where's your finger paint now? Where's your finger paint now? I really do think that the Caleb Williams, like every player, if a fan goes up to you and talks shit after a devastating loss, you have like a 10 second period where you can

just open hand slap them. Yeah. Not punch. We're civilized. But I think that that would actually, if that just became a law and a rule, because then fans would start acting accordingly. And it would be sick.

If we just got to see a couple of fans, just get open hand slapped. I like the idea of an open hand slap. My idea was that you should be allowed to do anything that's legal during a football game to a fan that gets up in your face. You can tackle them. Yeah. As long as you don't go high, no targeting, the targeting rules still open. Well, you could do targeting and then just get ejected. That's true. Yeah. You get post game ejected from from being on the field. But kill Williams had he couldn't do anything there. And the kid was just in his face. Yeah. Dooshback. So it happened with an LSU player the other day too. It's just a nature's healing moment when they shove those kids back.

Yeah. So if you go in the field, just be you have to deal with the open hand slabs of all your actions. But yeah, it was cool to see Washington have a good time out there. If I'll say this right now, if a player in a power five conference, they've they've rushed the field and a player is provoked in the way the Kale Williams was provoked. And they open hand slapped the state, the fan. I will help if they get arrested. Oh, match. Okay. I'll match the there it is. Yeah.

But it has to be exactly the same situation as a fan being a true douchebag to the player, not just running by the player, anything like that. You'll see every now and then we're like a fan will be running and a player will just start like elbowing. That's not, it has to be a direct. You got in the player's face, player slapped you, we are defending the player. Yeah, and also if you're college student rushing the field, don't ruin it for everybody. Right. If too much of this stuff happens, then they'll start to band it and they'll take it very seriously. Like most SEC schools will gladly pay the $100,000 or whatever it is. If it means they get a huge home upset. It also made it worse knowing that Notre Dame kicked the shit out of USC.

So that kid was planning on saying that for a very long time. If it was a spur of the moment last second play, then I think it just becomes like, hey, everyone lost their mind. But he was sitting there for the entire fourth quarter. I mean, USC got demolished. Kale Williams looked very mortal, probably out of the hyzen race, I would say definitely out of the hyzen race, which speaking of which,

the hyzen is going to be a quarterback. I think that's official Brock Bowers out for four to six weeks, which I don't know. I think he should probably just get ready for the draft. If I were him, I would. He's already won two national titles. If I were him, I would absolutely.

The scary thing is, what are you looking at memes? memes is is Georgia Finn You don't like what we're saying? You don't like what we're saying. I think maybe SEC championship game I would say don't rush coming back Brock Bauer as somebody with a Tennessee and Alabama future And a Texas future. I would say

Brock Bauer's needs to do the right thing for his future, his own future, and not rush back. Let's take it slow. We don't want to have any blips where you go into the combine and you're still a little bit nicked up. So just take it easy. Take it easy, Brock. I believe that you Brock is probably the best prospect at the tight end position since

Brock, I would imagine. And there's one, two national titles. And I'm sure that they've got two or three guys behind them that can step in and not be Brock Bauer's, but probably be better than 99% of all other college tight ends. Yes. So yeah, Brock, please, it's for your own good. This is about me.

It's not about my money. For your own good, just kind of chill out for a little. Why is Max wearing a tank top? It's all that sweat. Put the camera on Max. Show the sweat. Show the sweat. Show the sweat. It's got hot in here. No, show the sweat. I camera on max show the sweat Show the sweat It's got hot in here. No show the sweat. I put a t-shirt on okay, it looks like Matt Ryan the other day

I'm okay. This fucking hot is dick over here. It's high The yeah, so it's gonna be a quarterback winning the high-spin. It's gonna either be Michael Penex Maybe headaches by the way, maybe Jayden Daniels Uh, maybe, headaches by the way. Petics. Maybe Jaden Daniels. Maybe Jordan Travis. Maybe J.J. McCarthy,

because Michigan hasn't played anyone yet, but he has played good ball. Uh, but yeah, it feels like we can put it maybe even till in Gabriel. If the sooner, don't lose. Yeah. Or I mean, Quinn, you were

Quinn, you just get on fire real quick. He's got the name. Um, and being a Texas would certainly help. But, uh, yeah, it's got this is an awesome college football season It's great because there was there was some kind of I don't know what it was there was some Congressional hearing basically the worst people alive Oh, you see what Joe Manchin said. Oh, we have a couple so I read a couple. Yeah, it's they're so stupid First Lindsey Graham said Utah is offering everybody on the team

a new truck. There's no end to this between the portal and N I L college football is an absolute chaos. That's a guy who doesn't watch college football. It's been an awesome season. And the kids getting paid is not a bad thing. And then Joe Manchin said, it's hard to root for the kids when they're multi millionaires as freshmen and sophomores. No, it's not. I would, I would like to hear Joe Manchin explain why. Right. Why in his opinion is it hard for him to root for kids who are making money?

Also, because if you unpack that to a deep enough level, he is just completely in the wrong about everything. They're 18 years old, they have a job, they generate millions of dollars as a guy from West Virginia who there are a lot of as a guy from West Virginia, who there are a lot of coaches that are from West Virginia that would probably not like hearing a senator from West Virginia say that. I'm thinking about Nick Sabin in Alabama.

If you're a guy from West Virginia, you should probably not be giving away your state's home prides like competitive advantage. Not only that, but it's always so weird to me, and not to get to political, but like a lot of these guys who are making these statements, I would assume, are hardcore capitalists. We have a product that makes a ton of money and kids that are exceptional at what they do. Why shouldn't they make money? They're not, if it was, every kid goes to college and does a millionaire, yeah, that would probably be an issue. They do things that no one else can do.

Another way to say what Joe Manchin just said is- But so can the other student athletes, well, that don't make money. Well, because they don't have a product that makes a ton of money. Like, eyeballs watch football, stadiums are packed, people are buying the product. I get it.

Yeah, I would love for some of the other athletes to get out of the aisle deals, which I think they are, but their sports don't make the same amount of money. They generate revenue. It is true bringing a lot of money. You bring in a lot of money, you get paid a lot of money. But what I would like to hear Joe Manchin explain is, because this is the crux of his argument,

he enjoys watching college football when players are poor, when they don't have any money. Why? Why? Why is there anything in life where you're like, you know what, I really, I like the person that cuts my hair, my barber's great. I just wish he had a little bit less money to spend.

It's, it, it, I wish he couldn't take care of his family. It's just these guys telling on themselves that they don't actually watch the sport. Yeah. Cause it rules and college football is chaos. And I think Herbstreet even said it. I love the NFL, Herbstreet loves the NFL. What we saw at Washington, Oregon on Saturday

doesn't happen in the NFL. No, like that just doesn't. And it's just, there's a difference in the fan bases and how people cheer for their team and the fans, the kids going on the field. Like, that's a crazy scene that those kids will remember forever and Washington fans will remember forever.

It's, it's crazy. It's, they don't watch the sports so they should not get, we should actually like, any politician who wants to talk about college football, we should like Johnny Menzel like watch their iPad to see how much they're watching. If you don't watch more than five hours of college football on the Saturday, you don't get to have an opinion.

Zero hours. Zero. Yeah, that's how much they're watching. Next time I'm eating a pizza, I'm gonna be like, you know what, this pizza would taste so much better if the guy that made it couldn't afford daycare for his kids. Yeah, that would make me so happy. Yeah, because then he'd really put everything into it. I got one other thing about about the SEC in particular. Yeah, because this is

I'll be honest, definitely gonna win the SEC. It's a storyline that's bubbling up and it bubbles up occasionally, but I think we need to talk about a little bit. Jimbo Fisher and his buyout. Yes, I'd like you to get a looming buyout. Or a buyout that's out there. What is it now? Like probably $80, $90 million to buy him out of this contract. And so much of Jimbo Fisher's buyout and whether or not they actually do end up buying him out of that.

Because right now the often sucks at Texas A&M. Jimbo Fisher, he should be, he's being paid like he's the best offensive coach in the NCAA and he's just not so much of whether or not The the boosters at a&M Pony up for the buyout depends on what the price of oil is yeah world-wide because that's all oil money in College station. They've got so many alumni so many boosters that are so heavily leveraged in what the oil market looks like. And right now, the price of oil, I actually reached out to our friend,

Bunky Perkins, who is in the oil business, oil and gas business. So he's about as connected and this is anybody. Right now, the price of oil is about $85, $86 a barrel, which is pretty good. They're making good money in college station. Once it gets up to like a hundred, that's when they have literal fuck you money.

That's when the oil kings start to get crazy and do all the shit that they would prefer not to be reported on for. But I'm setting a price target right now. I'm setting a personal price target. If oil reaches $95 a barrel, then I predict that Jimbo Fisher will get bought out of his contract. Okay.

I like that. And with like all the instability overseas, who knows what happens with Egypt, with Saudi Arabia, if they get involved in the war over there, then oil is going to go like through the, so in a, in a weird way, like that directly affects whether or not Jim Bofischer is stinking rich without a job, or if he's still getting paid and doing a poor job coaching. Yeah, so text saying M to me, most delusional fan base in college football, uh, craziest fan base because of all the yell leaders. Every time a yell leader video comes out, it's like, what the fuck,

why do they keep putting these out? And I know that you should aspire to be great. So I'm not saying that you should it, but Texas A&M and I, Jimbo Fischer's getting paid a lot of money. Why is it that Texas A&M thinks that they are a perennial 10, 11 win team? Johnny football.

He did it once. Dude, I know, but that, I know. But since 2000, how many times does Texas A&M 1, 10 games or more? Two. Once. Mm, Johnny football. McGeedan do it?

No. Once. They are a good football program. They're a nine win team. They're an eight win team. Jimbo Fisher last year was a disaster. I agree with that. If you want to say, hey, five and seven is unacceptable.

Totally agree. But Jimbo Fisher has gone nine and four eight and five nine and one eight and four. Like he has done what Texas A&M does. They win eight nine games. They don't win 10 games. Yeah. I think it has something to do with the fact that they also claim like four national championships. Four things counted. Do you remember they had to take down a bunch of like conference championships from the side of Kyle Field that they put up when they first did the renovations on it. Yeah, they had to take them down because they got bullied too hard for claiming non-existent championships.

Yeah, when they were in the Southwest concert conference in the early 90s, they had a stretch where they won 10 games a year, like five years in a row. But since then, since 1995, they have won over 10 games twice. They won 10 games. They won 11 games in 1998, and then Johnny football. It's just a very funny, like, to, again, you should aspire to be great, but to pretend like Texan M is like,

we deserve to be winning 10 games, we should be winning 10 11 games. That's just not what has happened in history. It's more realistic to have done that in either the Southwestern Conference or in the big 12th, right? In the SEC, like you wanted this. And it's going to be way, way harder to do that. Way higher and you're out.

Okay, two more things I want to talk about college football real quick. One, that was a terrible Colorado loss. Yep. 29, nothing at half time. Uh, that Stanford ride receiver was LL main or I can't remember his name. What is his name? A.O. Manor a.O. Unbelievable second half incredible second half Colorado is probably gonna miss a bull now Doing the math Colorado it's gonna be close could probably miss a bowl now that was an inexcusable loss really really bad

So they have they are right now. I believe what's their record? They're three and three can we still go back to what we said for the three that if Deon Sanders has like a four game improvement. It'll be miracle. Yeah, he did that just slide the expectations They play at UCLA They have Oregon stated home Arizona at home who Arizona has been playing really good ball at Washington state and at Utah So they're gonna have to win they have to win two more right yeah, they have to win two more of those so that's gonna be very very tough to do That could have been the ball like that couldn't switch it right there

That was a must win. Yeah, that was a must win for you. And it was very bad. And then the other thing, okay. So Wisconsin lost Iowa. Morticae got hurt, socks. I've taken a very long term approach with Luke Fickle, so I'm not gonna freak out. It's more about the fact that even though they're arrival,

I love this Iowa team so much because they make people so angry. So bad for that. so much because they make people so angry. So bad. They are truly back to mat about Iowa. Like people, if Iowa runs a table and they're 11 and one, people are going to be so, so angry about them playing in the big 10 championship game. They are, I have this guy puts out a great graph every week that essentially is like, how bad did you get beat? So it will be like, you know, this is the EPA or whatever it was, the opponent and then how bad you got beat. Iowa multiple times this year has one games where

they got beat, like in all the statistical categories. And it's so funny because people get so mad about Iowa and I love it so much. They're just so so boring and so bad on offense, but they figure out a way to win and it's hilarious. So the note I had about Iowa was that I am officially rooting for an 11-in-1 Iowa team who would probably be ranked. If Iowa goes 11-1 and they continue to win games in the same way that they've been winning, what do you think they're they're into the season rank? It would be probably like nine or 10. Yeah. Well, it will be.

They'll get blown out in the big 10 championship game. Yeah. So that's the thing is like the matter. Well, I mean, they already they already got smoked by Penn State. It'd be so funny if they didn't though. Yeah. I guess it's tough to be a team twice. Yeah.

Well, not really when Penn State beat him what 31 nothing It would just be the Iowa even got like it I would confidently say they're gonna get blown out in the in the big 10 title The game which is actually makes even funnier the people are mad about Iowa because if you're someone who is mad about Iowa You know at the end of the road you have your Satisfying like judgment. Just be patient, but people get so mad about Iowa. I just love the fact that they're gonna be, they're gonna have one win on their schedule and or excuse me, one loss on their schedule.

And they're gonna still be ranked like in the 20s for a very long time because it's the best. It is, it's very funny football to watch. And if you don't, if you don't appreciate the ridiculousness that is Iowa football, then you're not a college football fan. It's also like, yeah, okay. So you're mad about Iowa because they don't appreciate the ridiculousness that is Iowa football, then you're not a college football fan. It's also like, yeah, okay. So you're mad about Iowa because they don't play offense.

Well, guess what? They do defense and special teams elite. That's two thirds of the game. They've hacked the system. Offense is irrelevant. You can just win games to the big 10 West by just playing defense and special teams. Yeah. It's like, they remind me the giants from last year a little bit.

Yeah. New York giants. I I love watching Iowa football and by watching it, I mean like having it on the second screen and then continuing to look over at the score and being like, Oh, they're punting again and they're up by three. Oh, they're punting again. Now they're up by seven and then they're just up by seven for the rest of the game. Listen, they released the ratings for this weekend for all the games played Wisconsin Iowa had like 2.4 million people watching it. It was like eight on the list. There's a lot of sick. There's a lot of sick. Yeah, those are my people.

Overrounder is 32 and a half this week. Against Minnesota. I love that. That's going to be a great game. Yeah, that's the cycle. If you take the over. Yeah, I might take the over just because just to fuck around. It's a feel alive. It's a layers because if you take that over, you are actually, you, you, not hoping for, you need a defensive or special team. So, you need a punt block. You can't get that over without a defensive special team's punt.

And you probably need two. Might need to. You probably need two of those. At least one, one touchdown, and at least a short field. I'm gonna stand up real quick for my James Madison dukes because they are playing tomorrow night against Marshall That's a Thursday night sunbelt game should be a good one Very tough game for the dukes by no means are we counting this as a win if you're a J. M. U fan

But if they do win this case the schedule does shake out pretty favorably for them for the rest of the season and the sun belt Where again, they would not be eligible for the postseason because of a dog shit rule But there's a chance that we could see a J Muteam with like one loss or maybe no losses by the end of the season. And they would not be invited to a bowl game. And that is horse shit. And also it's the dumbest rule ever. It's designed because they don't want a team to jump up to to FPS when they have a good roster and then jump right back down. That's fine. Okay. Then putters the teams that go back down when they go back down, take something away from them at that point. But if you go up and you continue to compete, they won the Sunbelt last year. They won their division

the Sunbelt, even though it wasn't recognized. And the Sunbelt is probably the best group of five conference in football right now. If they win that again, and especially if they have won or zero losses, it's it's such bullshit that you won't let the students, the kids play in a game and you're punishing the institution as a whole. When in reality, the biggest impact by far is on the kids that won't get to play. Yeah, no, it's bullshit. We had this discussion last year. It's dumb. It makes no sense.

And when you say you don't want to get ahead of yourself, I've heard you many times in private say that they're going to go on to feed it. No, I never know. I never said you said to me yesterday, you're like, if they're gonna go on to feed it. I know I never know I never said they're gonna go on to feed it. You said to me yesterday you're like if they're going to feed it. No, no, no, invite them to the Arizona. Wrong, I said, I said that. You said that.

I said, and I said there's a lot of season left. So there's a lot of season left. How does the bar still bowl say they go on to feed it? They might have undefeated JMU. Imagine, imagine. We'll count ourselves national jabies. I will, I will. I know you do the use stuff.

I know you will because you said that. I hang, I will. I know you do the use stuff. I know you will, because you said that. I hang a banner, but I'm not getting ahead of myself. Like I said, good chance we lose at Marshall. That's a hard game. It's a very hard game on the. If people at home, he does not think they're gonna lose. I think if we could get Jammu football into the Barcel Sports basketball invitation,

they could win. Probably not. It's a great, great stock team. We got a stock team this year. Mississippi State's a good team, sister Jean. Probably not, but if it was in the bar stool bowl, I could see that I could see them winning bar stool bowl being under when she won the winner of the bar stool bowl this year to be declared national champions. Yeah. Think about it with J. M. U. You got the UCF possibilities. So they are undefeated to go into the bar. Yeah. Yeah. This is a repeat. The government.

You can't help but think allow me to be excited. I'm glad you can't help it. Think, allow me to make a sign. I'm so excited. No, listen, they're fun teams. I think you should think this. I just don't want you to dilute the audience and be like, I'm not thinking they're gonna go on it. You are thinking, which is great. I want them to.

I'm planning love for you to make national chips. It's a difference. I'm planning ahead. Yeah, you, you, because we had the conversation multiple times the last couple of days. I was like, wait, he definitely does think that. I'm planning ahead a little bit. Fun fact, they're quarterback Jordan McCloud Ray Ray McCloud's brother.

The weddings was a mistake. It was a mistake. Okay. I made a mistake. Credit to me for realizing in the moment that it was a mistake, but I still said it. Discredit to me for still saying it. The weddings was a mistake. We got a million wedding invites.

And we will, that will not stop. Everyone that listens to the show when they're having a wedding game, oh, I remember them talking, they're gonna be planning their wedding, they're like, oh, I remember when they were talking about it, they want to get invited, we should invite them.

And we're not going. I actually think that it would be, it would be a terrible move for a guy to invite us to the wedding because your future wife is gonna absolutely despise you for it. Well, the future wife's a listening. Yeah. There's female AWOLs too. The doctor is the mother. I just saw all the DMs that I got with wedding invites. It was from the groom. And I was just thinking to myself,

like, are you sure that she's totally cool? No chance. No chance. That's been asked. Yeah. I, okay, mistake, mistake. That was a big mistake. We'll go to a divorce. Yeah, we will. We'll go to a second wedding. Yeah, that actually would rock. Second wedding is probably a fun. Don't say that.

Why? Because it's still the same thing as wedding. No, second weddings are way more fun, I think. Because they're all like, we've done it. If I've been to one, but it was only one of them. Like, if I'm saying it has to be second-wending for both of them, because then you know they probably like, like Jimmy Buffett theme.

It's pretty lucky. It's probably like, we'll fuck it. We've made mistakes, but now this is for life. Won't be. They'll get divorced again. But we will go to a second wedding. We're also gonna go to a bachelor party. What?

Jakes. Oh? Jakes. Oh, Jakes. Congratulations. That'll be very fun if Jakes got engaged and then he hired us to plan his party form and he was wildly uncomfortable with everything. Well, I was really delighted. Well, thank you.

I appreciate that I knew we'd be invited. But my question was how quickly, over under minutes or maybe it's hours, probably not hours, probably minutes, would we have all of Jake's friends hate our guts? No, they love you guys. And for now, they would hate us, they would hate us so fast. Why?

Cause we like peer pressure. Yeah. I know you guys wanna go like, you know, play pickleball afternoon, how about we just do drugs? Yeah, they're gonna be listening to this and texting me and being like, we love them. Okay, I think Jake would actually leave the weekend hating us. Yeah, I think that would be the end of the day.

Maybe we should do a bachelor party for Jake without Jake. Oh, that sounds fun. And Jake's friends. That sounds fun. Just Jake's friends and us. Wish you were here. Yeah, too bad you couldn't make it. Deal. There's gonna be so much pickleball.

No, yeah, there will be just like an hour to break a sweat. Oh, man. If you were, if you were, had a batch of party this weekend where would you choose? Uh, Scottsdale pickleball capital Pickle ball, some fun, good weather. I like that. Yeah. I'm in. Jake, would you like it? If you let us plan an out-of-go, because there would be like, I know you'd be like, the pickle ball and then the big dinner on Saturday night. I've seen some of these.

So the big dinner on Saturday night is the worst part of every bachelor party. Don't do it. Everyone gets drunk as fuck on Saturday. They have a great time and it's like, hey, everyone, take a shower, put on a nice shirt. We're going to get sober real quick and go to a dinner and then everyone sits there, stuff, surface feels like shit, can't go out. Yeah. I learned it many times. Do the big dinner the first time. All right, you're the veteran. So you got the ball. Okay. I'm excited. I would love to go to your bachelor party when it happens someday in the future. Yes. Okay.

The cool thing is Pappev. Yeah. Pandering Pappev. Oh wow. Come in with Philly. Well, he got ejected Maxises. A little pandering I think. I mean, don't talk about your coworker like that.

Do you hit our coworkers? Yeah. I love Pappev. You already hit our friends. I love Pappev. This, he our friends. I love Pat Pepe. This, he got kicked out of a Sixers game for fighting with Ben Simmons. So what's wrong with that?

Yeah, why is that pandering? Ben Simmons bad guy, Pat Pepev, good guy. That max, that was probably the most well-spoken Max has ever been in his life. I love Pat Pepev. I just, you know, it's... All right, not pandering, sorry. Sounds personal to you. Pandering is not bad. No, he's on the cool throne. He's, all right, not a painter, sorry. It sounds personal to you.

Yeah. No, he's on the cool throne. He's on the cool throne. Philly's gonna love him. But if it was pandering, he would wait till the regular season. There's no one who's watching. Yeah, this is like character during the Philly's game. And it was during the football.

Character is who you are when nobody's watching. Right, take it back. Literally nobody was watching. Sorry, Pat. Apology not accepted. No. He's on the cool throne. I don't think Pat would accept that, Apology. I Pat. Apology not accepted. No. Is that the cool throw? I don't think Pat would accept that, Apology.

I put him on the cool throw. Apology not accepted. The cool throw is a good place to be. Oh, you have to pat. Um, it is a good place. You'd rather be on the cool throw on the house. I guess probably. Jake's on the cool throw.

He invited us to his bachelor party. Fact. That's a permanent cool throw. You guys can come to mind too. I'm done. What? What? permanent cool to run you guys can come to mind too I'm down What now the face I would expect to be invited to yours how many days of golf are you gonna plan yours? It's gonna be a month now.

I'll be playing so much golf at that point that it'll be just parting. We had a extended golf conversation today, PFT. It was, I won't say, but it was, we have an extended golf conversation. Right now Hank is planning on doing it. The Bay was embraced. How to take a vacation from golf

Okay, now we have to say the debate was embrace pft We had an extended conversation you got to see you got a sale though. No, I'm gonna say no Hank is essentially He's like I'm gonna work so hard in the winter. I'm gonna crew So much golf time in the summer that I'm basically not gonna work in the summer again He wants to take Mondays and Fridays and Wednesdays off. I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's this not set out? I'm here.

You'll be here Sunday to use it Thursday. I'll be here to record the show. And I'm, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a non-traditionalist. I believe like everyone in corporate America listening to their job, they, they have 40 hour work weeks, they work like 10 and then they have weekends and stuff. We don't have a job like that. I do believe they have 40 hour work weeks, they work like 10, and then they have weekends and stuff. We don't have a job like that. I do believe in a 40 hour work week schedule across a 50 week timeline,

40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, give you know, two weeks for Christmas, one week for a dry forth. I don't think it matters when those 40 hours come is. As long as you, as long as you, as long as you, that's the thing, I'd say we work like 60 to 80. I know, and then, and some of these weeks I'm gonna be working 100 to 200.

Put, put, that's even mathematically possible. But the reason why we, we work so much is because our job is fun. I agree. Listen, all, 68 hours a week. All I said is that I'm gonna work. Twice as hard as the winner, so that I don't have to work.

I can work twice as hard in the summer. And then it all evens out. Isn't this what you did? Like you said, you were gonna work really hard September and October too? Yeah, I haven't called at all. I barely go off this. I barely go off this all night.

Nice catch, nice catch, couple for work. But my point to him was in the football season, we have to work a lot because this football season in the off season is actually when we can start doing a lot because it's football season. In the off season is actually when we can start doing a lot more of the fun office stuff. And Hank was like, well, what about golf? Well, we can do golf content. That also was broached, whereas like if I'm streaming in the golf simulator, that's work. I said, yes. Yeah. Yeah. The more the story is like, no one's going to work, no one in this room will be working harder than me this winner

And then no to be working less than you in the summer and that's how I think America was should be Yeah, you're actually your European you're you're on the European cap. Yeah, it's true You're I mean your opinions do it right. They take midday naps. Yes does you're still you're still on like the the high school calendar Yeah, where you work. You want some break. He works really hard September through like early June. Yeah. And then not at all of the summer. Right.

You want summer break? Yes. Yeah. I actually don't disagree with that because that's like the most shocking thing about graduate from college. It's like, wait, I don't get summers off anymore. The sucks. Yeah.

I'm more like we, we just spent a lot of money on this big office. I would like people to work in the summer. And I'm, I will more like we we just spent a lot of money on this big office I would like people to work in the summer and I'll buy wool On select days, but you can golf in the office saying It's not the same. I know but travel and stuff. It's like oh this was travel trips I didn't realize that so when you're gonna fly out on on Thursday night and then come back Saturday night like every weekend No Sunday morning. But you said you wanted Mondays.

Yeah. So that would be like, go back and get that. You should be. That'd be local golf. That'd be local. Well, no, I also threw out the idea. I mean, pick it.

It's just like whatever. I also work. I, I, I, I'm setting a tone. I threw out, uh, I have to his Friday, I have to his Monday. He tried to kid shame me too. He was like, you, I have golf, you have kids. I was like, but I work my schedule.

Like I go home for two hours, put my kids to bed. I'll be, I'm back at the office whenever I need to. Same. Hank, except for Mondays and Fridays and stuff. I'd be willing to leave for two hours at a time if you make golf, right? Listen, I, I, this is not a conversation. I thought we're gonna have the podcast.

We're just, you know, it's a big hit. Yeah, we, we, we, we actually gonna have the podcast. We're just, you know, it's a bracing debate. Yeah. We actually found the story though, is that I will be, when we're in this office and it's up and running, like, I will be there more than anyone. And if the weather's gonna get nice, I'm gonna be like, damn, I work so hard, I deserve some time off.

Right. Because like, no, no, no, no, no. Right, we have podcasts outside today. Right. We actually found a good middle ground. We said we're gonna just take a wait and see approach. Yeah, and that Working hard in the winter doesn't Equal getting to take the whole summer so hey

Everyone's my hang isn't a super strong negotiating position right now because we know that if Hank's not happy that he'll come in and he'll be grumpy Yeah, that's true, and then we'd be like God damn, I wish Hank was out on the golf course and said, here, bringing everybody down. So we already know what you're up to preemptively. Well, that's your move. And this was part of it that Big Hat didn't really verbalize is like, I'm gonna be working so hard. So hard.

This winner creating so much. Streaming golf content on the simulator that I'm gonna have, like, I've gotten so much streaming golf content on the simulator. Yeah. I'm going to have like, I've gotten so much better that I'm going to need to see how that replicates to the real game. And the only reason that's happened is because I work so hard in the winner.

Like I, so when you're saying that you're going to work harder than anybody in this office, you mean, you're actually going to be playing more golf than anybody in office this winter time. Ah, streaming content for the fans. Doing what? Golfing. To make it crystal clear.

Golfing. He's going to work so hard golfing this winter that he needs a break to golf this summer. Yep. Is what you just said. Okay. Alright. How's he cool throwing PFT? My house.

We did come to a very good understanding. I think we're in a good spot. It was a healthy debate that didn't get bad. It was just, oh, that was circle back.'t it didn't get bad. It was just. Oh, uh, circle back. Yeah. Well, circle back. We'll put a pin in it. Okay. We're gonna put a pin in this. All right. PFT your hot sea cool truck. Okay. My hot seat is the Charger's social media account. Yeah. Charger's Twitter. This is actually it's unrelated to the one that was on TV during money at football. Um, Jury's still out. Whether or not she's a plant or not. She claims that she's not, but there are pictures of her

being a die hard Minnesota Vikings fan as well, allegedly. And her claim is that she moved from Minnesota to LA. Now she's a die hard charge fan. Like the same team though, like I have seen it. They actually caught a hard one. They score a lot of points at this point. Very disappointed. I just out of doubt.

Somebody that like moved from Atlanta to LA and decided to become a chargeers fan. If there's anybody out there like that, God bless you. I don't know how you're still alive. But more specifically, I found this post, actually, Kinnjack found this post on Chargers Twitter. So it's from a guy named Chargers Truthor. And when I first saw this, I was like, this guy is ridiculous. But now I think there actually might be something to his point. So he tweeted this out last week This is gonna upset some people but if I was running the Chargers Twitter account I'd cut back on the social media stuff We're here to hit people in the face and be warriors not make jokes and be funny. Let's be serious

I like that and then somebody replied to him the social media has zero to do a drafting coaching and our plan in the field or Social media team is legit the best in the business and they're doing a great job attracting people who don't even watch football to be interested in their content. Chargers truth are responded. It affects team culture. Yeah. And now I think he might be right. He's absolutely right. I think that the Chargers Twitter account is too funny. He's absolutely right. And it's resulted in actual on the field losses. Yeah. No, he's be serious. This is culture matters. Football is a serious game. Yeah.

If you're asking guys, hey, is water wet when they come off the field? They're probably, that's gonna break their brains and they're gonna be thinking about that in the second half of the playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, instead of how to run a competent defense and keep the chargers on the field

and when the defense is on the field, not let Trevor Lawrence go a step all over you. I actually, I'm starting to think that Chargers Truth or he might be true. He's right. When you look at the best teams in the NFL of the last 20 years, patriots, not greats, not like anything flashy on social media, right?

They don't play those gimmicky games. No. Steelers don't really do the gimmicky stuff. They don't ban a football. Alibaba football. Nope. They don't engage in that football serious. Yeah. Not time for jokes. Yeah. It's culture. So I actually I actually think that charges truth from might be right. It affects team culture. Yeah. Agreed. And then my cool throne is to our loans. So Tio Tio was playing pickup basketball. I think this was yesterday and he got into a fight

while he was playing pickup. And then after the game was over, the guy who was playing against, drove a car into his leg. Like drove a car onto the court and hit Tio in the knee and tried to run him over. Tio was fine, didn't have to go to the hospital. But I think if you're playing pickup basketball against Tio, you're probably pretty sick of

his shit by the end of it. Yes. Because I would assume that he's just dunking on you constantly. I agree. And reminding you that he's dunking on you constantly, I think you should be allowed to hit Torelloans in the knee with a car, not injuring him, but just enough to bruise him and spook him a little bit. Yeah.

You should be allowed to do that to Torelloans. I agree. Because you can't do anything on the court. You can't DM up. Yeah, he definitely pissing people off. But if he's fine, no harm, no foul. No foul. Exactly, no blood no foul.

John Thompson would back him up. He'd run him over and then back again over him. And as long as he didn't have any broken, not a foul. Yeah, I agree. T.O. just dominating people and pick up basketballs. Very funny. He's exactly what I would do if I was an athlete like him. I still think T.O. could suit up. Yeah, I think he'd get in the league. T.O. just dominating people and pick up basketball. It's very funny. It's exactly what I would do if I was an athlete like him. I still think T.O. could suit up.

Yeah, I think he'd get into league. Definitely. All right, my hot seat is John Fisher, that fucking scumbag from the A's, Trevor May, who was a relief pitcher for the A's this year. He was on the Met's last year, did a live stream, Twitch stream, and he unloaded, so he retired, and then he unloaded on John

Fisher, great rant. He said, sell the team, dude, sell it. Let someone who actually like takes pride in the things they own, own something. There's actually people who give a shit about the game, let them do it. Take mommy and daddy's money somewhere else, dork. A dork is always good. If you're going to be a greedy fuck on it, there's nothing weaker than being afraid of cameras.

Do what you're gonna do, bro, whatever you're a billionaire. They exist, you guys have all the power. You shouldn't have any because you haven't earned any of it, but anyway, whatever. Yeah, I like it. I like it. Great retirement. Yeah.

Probably the best retirement speech I've ever heard. Calling a guy, calling a billionaire a dork. Actually, I, I know that hurts himself. Oh, for sure. I agree with the fact that like John Fisher doesn't seem to take pride in owning the athletics at all. He takes pride in refreshing his bank account. It's like, oh, the number went up today.

And looking at parcels in Las Vegas. That's what he loves. He loves just being like, oh, the value my franchise went up. That's cool. He doesn't care about what happens on the field. Take mommy and daddy's money somewhere else. Door. It would suck. It would suck to play for an owner like that. Yeah, he's a piece of shit

And a door and a door my cool throne. Oh, Jake and Nicole Is my dad oh You take it now. That's all right. Tell him what up. Tell him what up. Will he be at the bachelor's? Yeah, his dad would he has to be his dad's cool. I don't think so right he could. Yeah, he could. Yeah, your mom could come to if she wanted. I didn't say it. I was just being I was just being inclusive. I invited his dad. Yeah, my my cool throne is Julio Jones. He's back. We got him out of retirement We asked the question a few weeks ago. Is he retired? We didn't know what happened to him. He's on the Eagles. question a few weeks ago, is he retired? We didn't know what happened to him. He's on the Eagles.

Max dream teams more loaded than ever. Yeah, he got signed to the practice squad. I think he'll eventually get brought up. But he's not signing somewhere if he's not playing. I'm just saying. Also a great reminder that Julio Jones his name's not Julio. Really?

It's Quintaurus Lopez Jones Jr. That's right, yeah. Quintaurus. Great Jr. That's right. Yeah. Great name. Yep. Great name. Max Dreamteam though. Big Dreamteam vibes. Oh, congratulations. Oh, yeah. This is the final piece. What? A 49 year old receiver. He's going to be a beast, but definitely not Dreamteam. Dreamteam. No, but he could be good So it's better than our wider shiver three right now. Quiz walkins has been very bad So we've been we've been looking for a wider shiver three. Maybe he's the guy also important to note that Larry Fitzgerald I don't think ever retired I think he's just out there. Yeah, I agree he quite quit

You know what I'm just not gonna play this year or the next year. Yeah, I agree I agree So Quintora's dream team. Dream team. Yeah. Congratulations to Philadelphia Eagles for winning the Super Bowl. Congratulations. You got Max.

By the way, you guys are the City of Champs now. Yeah, because we're doing this, because we're taping this in the afternoon, you heard us talk about game two to start the show and Monday football max prediction max Merrill Kelly called out the bank. I say seven four Phillies. Okay. This is a time stamp. It is 449 on Tuesday afternoon seven four Phillies. He did he poked the bank. He did. That's a rookie mistake. Big time. Also, you guys know we have a bank series chase field versus citizens bank

park. Oh, what ones? Yeah, I wouldn't say chase field is the bank, though. Doesn't have a word bank in it. Yeah. It is a bank. It is a bank. It is a bank. Yeah. Okay. There's only one bank. We'll cash in. Love it. All right, Jake. My hot seats are Miami, Marlins. The Marlins, once again, a very stupid move. They part ways with their general manager, Kim Eng, who helped construct their first full season playoff team in 20 years, and they wanted to bring in someone above her.

And she literally turned this franchise over, and then they said we want to bring someone in. She's like, all right, I'm going to pack my bags. Isn't this kind of the Marlins M.O.? It's ridiculous. They get good players. They have some momentum. And then the self-inflicted wounds just make them irrelevant again. It's extremely misogynic by them.

Yes, agreed. I just don't understand. Like they've... I think I know why. So if you look back at the history of the Miami Marlins or the Florida Marlins, she did too good of a job getting good players. Now the owners like wait, I'm gonna have to pay these good players. I don't want to do that. You really fuck me over here. I got to get a worse GM. So I don't have to worry about paying out, you know, the luxury tax if it ever ever comes to that

Yeah, it just doesn't make sense that they've made the playoffs Three full seasons in their history and they have momentum and then they do this and then you wonder why people care more about the dolphins in the heat well, she is the only Marlins GM ever to make the postseason not win a world series. Correct. Maybe that's why. Yeah. So it's disappointing, but we'll see what happens. My cool throwing the Olympics. We have five sports that are officially Olympic sports as of this week. Okay. Baseball slash softball lacrosse in we better work. Yeah cricket in squash in

and flag football in 2028 and it's a home game because it's in Los Angeles. Oh Bullsitties no, that's a world cup. Yeah, yeah, real cups can be on multiple continents next year after the US US Canada or not not not this one But like the one they just announced this week, it's multiple continents. Which one is that? Where's that? I forget what year it is, but I think it's going to be in Europe,

Africa and South America. They're just getting as much money as they do. Yeah, I love how corrupt FIFA is. It's the best. Flag football, like they're going to be bigger favorites, USA than basketball. I don't know. Can our pros play?

I think so and it's in July. Kim and Tyrone Hill playing Flag football. That's going to be awesome. It's also going to be so awesome. It's going to be great to see like what skill sets translate to flag football that don't translate to regular football. Also could retire guys in the NFL. Like they could play flag football. Like Brady could suit up to flag football. Tyree Kell Hill has already said that he wants to play. Okay. All right. Cold metal. Yes. Easy. They have to win gold, right? Oh, yeah. They don't know the biggest bust in the history of the world. Do you think in brace debate, do you think that there could be like a very small like woman gymnast that's super fast that could be a great

flag football player? Can you cut? Yes. And then some say cuts NFL players. Well, you're playing flag football. Maybe right. There's one other person who all said you're like jumping yet. You're jumping up in the air. Maybe we do like back flips and shit over the line. Yeah, maybe don't have to worry about getting jacked up. There's one other person said. And I'm curious of what your thoughts.

I thought it's grog. Maybe two. Yeah, that's. No, he'd be good. No, we're yet. Football. The whole reason good. No, or he had football the whole reason Grok is Grok is like, you can't bring him down. If you can grab his flag, he's fast. Uh, how many years, four years?

2028 LA. Yeah, I don't think Grok's on a guy that like quits football and gets fat though. He would be he would be good for red zone targets. Yeah. Like Grok is probably in better shape than like Grok's, training. He would be good for red zone targets. Yeah. Like Groanke is probably in better shape than like Groanke. I'm assuming could come back and play football tomorrow. Yeah.

Fine shape. But I mean Travis Kelsey if it was flag football would be so much better than Groanke. No. Yeah. It's July 14th. The Cal pitch. Cal pitch would be amazing. In 2028. So the NFL schedule will work as well. All right. We should go to it. I'd be sick. Jamar, be away from you. You're rushing out there, you're taking flat football. Yeah, it's just cute.

Do it all. OK, is that, was that your coolest one? That was my cool friend. OK, all right, we have great interview with Baldi, our guy, probably number one football guy in the world, watches more tape than anyone. And then after that, we have one question with a quarterback with Drake May.

Our good friend, Brian Baldinger. Whoa. Okay, we now welcome on one of our favorite recurring guests. It is Baldi, Brian Baldinger. The road dog himself, we were just talking, he's been everywhere, he's calling games every weekend, you see him on TV. First of all, let's start there. How is the first six weeks been for the road dog?

You've been everywhere. Yeah, no, it's been great. You know, I was up at the MetLife Stadium on Sunday watching the jets take down the Eagles. And I remember minutes before, and now before kickoff, I'm talking to Jeff Albrecht, a defense coordinator in the jets, and he just kissed me this look. What would you do today, Baldi?

He's got no sauce, he's got no JD, he's got no Eccles. He's he's taken corners off the practice squad. And I'm like, well, I wouldn't play zone all day and let Jaylen cut. Yeah. So whatever he did, man, you know, it worked out like it was just one of those games where everything fell the right way. But that was a lot of fun because you got jet fans and Eagle fans. They're both boy stress, they're loud. Nobody left the stadium. It came down to the final text. It was awesome because like the week before, it's in New England and they stunk. And there's the saints and the Patriots, I'm like the Patriots could get the ball a hundred times.

They wouldn't score a hundred times. Like it was just that bad. Yeah. That's when you got to earn your money when the game is bad. That's true. So let's talk about the Eagles, uh, Jets game real quick. Would you say that, uh, Eagles fans should be even more appreciative of Lane Johnson because

when he went out, you could see right away. It was night and day that the Eagles offensive line is not what we've seen the last couple of years when he's not out there. And the Jets were just able to feast on Jalen Hertz. Yeah, well, I mean, look, there's only one Lane Johnson. I mean, he's the best. Like the last sack he's given up was week 11 of 2020 against the Cleveland Browns. So, you know, he's actually texting me from the locker room, you know, just, you know,

asking me how things were going. I'm like, they miss you. You know, they, you know, ask me how things are going. I'm like, they miss you. You know, they miss you bad. I'll dare. You know, but I've just worked out it is over at his barn just like an hour ago. So he's doing fine. He'll be already for Miami. But, you know, like, when you have elite players like that, like nothing against Jack Driscoll, he's been in the system a long time, four years, and he's played good football,

but you're going up against Bryce Huff. You know, I call him the Bugatti. Like he's just a rare sports car, you know, in Jermaine Johnson, like these freaks that the Jets have on the defensive line. Like it's just hard. It's hard for anybody, you know? Yeah, and the Eagles have a pretty good defensive line too.

Jalen Carter, obviously, I would say defensive rookie of the year right now playing at that level. Well, he didn't play last week. Right. You know, so like they missed him last week. He's a freak though. Like physically, when you see him, you go, that's like, he's as wide as a refrigerator. And he's got a base that's just like redwood trees. And then he's quick as a cat. Yeah. And, and you know, he's from a popca Florida. You know, the same town is worn, so saps like, keep your eye on that kid, man.

Like, you know, like, he's got advanced skills, you know, for 21, 22 years old. And the league is just discovering it because there's just rare, when you find somebody, not at any position that can just move big bodies. bodies like he can just move big bodies out of the way Like a lot of you know a lot of titty blocking going on in the sleek, you know I just run into each other nothing out. Yeah, Jay the Carter hit you like he rocked you know He's just he just hits people different. Yeah, he's violent and it seems like he's got he's got like veteran strength too

Like he doesn't look like I don't think he's had a welcome to the NFL moment. I think he's given other guys like welcome to my rookie season moments. And he seems like he's built in a physical way where he's primed to just dominate the league for the next 10 years. You want to, you kind of want to wait. You remember like, well, this is before your time.

I'm like, this came before you guys, but like there was a time on Monday night one year when the Cowboys played the Patriots and it was Randy White against John Hammond. And like everybody couldn't wait to see this matchup, you know, like because you only got to see one game or two games a week. But like I feel like when the Eagles play the Cowboys, like Zach Martin and Jalen Carter, we're going find out, you know, like, that's just strength on strength. That's good, those kind of matchups, like the game in the game,

that's gonna be fun to me. Yeah, I love that. I wanna talk to you about another terrifying defensive player. On the best defense in the league, the Cleveland Browns, they got Miles Garrett and Miles Garrett has been playing out of his mind. Almost seems like the game is, I don't know, I wanna say it's boring for him, but he's doing shit before the snap

where he's just messing with the other team. You saw that, he gets the Titans where he started going in motion and bringing two tight ends with him and they had to take a delay game penalty because they couldn't figure out how to block him correctly. And then he's like dribbling a fake basketball between his legs before the ball snapped.

He's just dominant to a level I haven't seen from a player in a very, very long time. But the Browns defense is more than just Miles Garrett. So the question I had was besides Miles Garrett, we all know is a game changer. Who is the most important player on that Browns defense? The defensive coordinate. Yeah. Jim Schwartz. Yeah. He's the most important guy. They've had talent there at Cleveland. Now it's, it's elite right now because they got Dalton Tomlinson's a Darius Smith You know, they've got some dogs up front, you know, and this they picked up this Okaranko from the Houston Texans Who's a good football player, you know, he's just in his fifth years young kid and then you get like Jeremiah

Wusso, Kora Ma, he's been there for three years. Nobody even knew he was there now with Swartz now He's like blitzing off the edge He's like I like he's attacking the line of scrimmage like the 49ers didn't know what hit him They moved so much faster than the 49ers the other day and then behind it You get Martin Emerson and Denzel war and Greg Newsom and Greg Delpick like you get these guys that all right You know what 49ers haven't seen press man coverage not the way we're gonna play it And we're gonna press the line of scrimmage and then we're going to play sticky man coverage. And quarterback hadn't seen that. The receivers hadn't seen it. Shanahan hadn't seen it. And they just, you know, they just dull pressed them right out

of the stage. So, so about Jim Schwartz, is it scheme or is it attitude or is it a combo in which one is like, you know know because he is phenomenal as a defensive coordinator But to explain it's just a regular person what makes him different than all the other defensive coordinators right now Yeah, you know what? It's an awesome question. You know why because it is personnel He's a cocky son of a bitch. He just is like, you know, he was a mathematician at Georgetown Like the guy's mind, you know, he doesn't look like it. He grew up, you know, in Cleveland, basically, with Bellicet and that whole crew back there in the mid 90s.

But, you know, he's a statistician, mathematician. So numbers, like, he gets all that. But then he lets you know that this scheme and what we're running, this is why we're doing it. This is what we're gonna do. this is why we're doing it, this is what we're going to do, this is how we're going to affect the game and we're going to throw little wrinkles in week to week, but we're going to come out there like cocky son of a bitch.

That's how we're going to play. And it starts with him. Yeah. Like he has that type of swag, you know, and then, you know, like you're talking about Miles Garrett, you know, like Miles is different this year to me Like even when he lines up on a center and he looks like Alan Iverson just ready to cross over dribble on you Like if you're in the center, you're terrifying. Like he's gonna make you look bad period And then is he going right left or is he coming right through me and I got to snap the ball

Like he did was never putting that position before. Yeah, you know, he's never done anything like that So you know, even like Sunday like he did you know, he's never done anything like that. So, you know, even like Sunday, like he did, you know, he was going up against Trent Williams. It was just a classic contest, the best against the best. So it sounded like he made the splash plays, but the defense as a whole was terrifying. Yeah, and it is crazy watching the Browns play defense because they play with that edge, they put a little shit to him.

All right, so Baldi, I am a member of two and on, a proud member of two and on. I saw you breaking down in some of his film today. People still say, oh, it's, you know, he's got Ty Reak, he's got Jalen Waller, he's got McDaniel, like, you know, anyone could be good in that. What is two are doing? Because I know you disagree to make this offense go and like, when watching this offense, have you ever seen anything quite like go. And like, when watching this offense, have you ever seen anything quite like it in the last, you know, maybe since the Rams? No, I've never seen anything like it.

It's not to say that they can't be defended. You know, Patriots did a good job against them, Buffalo did a good job against them. It can be defended at times. Couple of things. One, I remember, I went out to a many camp in Miami this year. It was like, you know, it was one of those days

where the heat index was through the roof and the wet bulb. You know, it's like one of these hot human days in June. So I go out there and they have a drill, where literally two of, is doing nothing, but bootleg fakes for 30 straight minutes, thrown into the tie-read. Like one rep after another, him and Mike White, one to the right, one to the left. So practice ends and ends and I go to he think you got that bootleg fake down

He goes, you know, I'm wondering the same thing I'm I'm asking like when we're gonna get to the next level of the playbook He goes and the coach is like when we get it right when we get him. So anyways, I watched that play fake Against Carol I'm just I just watched it before I came all with you guys like the entire Panther defense goes with the fake to most her and while that's going on here comes Jalen Waddle and Tyree kill the other direction and like nobody even pays attention to him and what next thing you know Waddle's doing is dancing hands on their play action fakes the mechanics that to has all fakes the the subtle little you know blind you know magic johnson passes that he has like that

stuff takes time and his mechanics even when he was you know they said that he couldn't play and all this if you watch his mechanics two years ago like with the chiefs like that guy can flat out play the game. Yeah. And I don't care how tall he is. I don't care how many injuries he's had. That guy can play the game. Tyreeke has said it. People, you know, he's at the top of the leaderboard and every stat right now. But forget about all that stuff.

Just watch him play. Like he is, first of all, it's an entertaining sport. Like he's as entertaining a player right now. There's my homes. There's jail in Hurtz, there's a little more. There's you've got to have an entertainer at that position. Otherwise, there's nothing to hold your interest in. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And the dolphins do look awesome. And we are, we're dumb, we're dumb fans. We watch what we watch. And then we have our pre-baked mindsets, things that we've learned over years and years of watching football. And there's like this small little caveman part of our brains that says,

the dolphins are great, but when the weather gets cold, watch out, I don't know if that offense is going to hold up. Also, we're forgetting the fact that if cold weather does slow you down, then it probably also slows down the other team a little bit too. But there is that caveman part of our brains, let's say these guys, electric offense,

might not work in the playoffs. So can you either confirm our idiot brains or can you tell us that we're dumb as shit and explain to us why this could work in the playoffs? Well, let's just say it. Let's just say Miami has the best record. Yeah. And it all goes through Miami and then they never have to go to Cleveland or to Buffalo or to Kansas City. So that's, you know, if I was, if I was Mike, you know,

McDaniel and I had, you know, his bizarre brain to his, like, I might say to my team, like, let's play for home field of dance. Let's have it all come to Miami. And we never have to go to the cold weather. Maybe that would motivate Tyree Kill and Jalen Mar, who looked like, you know, put me in, you know, Sprinter weather. We'll just keep running by people. But if you have to go to one of those places because just because Kansas City whatever like I think speed travels

You know like we you know the one thing about Mike is You know there's a reason why Kyle Shanahan would let him leave you know Houston Cleveland Atlanta San Francisco Wouldn't let him get out of the door because that guy's eye for running backs is like, no, like where he most were was signed by the Eagles as a free agent, you know, in 2015. He'd been to Miami. He'd been to all these things until Mike found him and put him in San Francisco. Changed the whole offense. And you watch him last week, Carolina and nothing, no idea how to tackle him. This thing is speed and

ability to run through contact like a chain like these guys averaging the amount of change is averaging 12 yards a Yeah, it's a running like it's it's sickening but like nobody can tackle the guy. Yeah, like he's looking for speed vision and just this Toughness that a lot of players just don't have. Like they just bounce off kind of. You know what I love seeing? That's that's all much. Yeah. In that offense, he's starting to put Alec Engel in motion. He's starting to put his blockers like his fullback in motion and then keep his running back stationary so that the fullback can have an even better angle and a running start on the block. Like we've seen it with receivers, you know, he sent Tyree Kill out in motion to the side and it's almost like he gets a head start on the play like it's the CFL.

But, but, uh, McDaniel's doing it with their lead blocker on plays. And it's, they're, they're running game is actually, it's sexy to watch. It reminds me the 49ers in that way, where it's like, I really love watching the Miami Dolphins run the football. Well, so, you know, nobody runs more pre snap motion than the Miami Dolphins. Second football? Well, so nobody runs more pre-snap motion than a Miami Dolphins. Second is only San Francisco. So every single play has a shift and a motion,

at least a shift and a motion. It could be more. So if you think about you're the defense, OK? You're, I don't know, you're Zach Cunningham this week from the Philadelphia Eagles, middle linebacker. And the Dolphins line up in a formation. So you take a snapshot of that formation now here comes Engel from wide receiver to the full back I formation now here's that Cunningham now you see a different picture now they're an I formation now here comes Tyree Hill and

Emotion and they'll we might go to motion and come back and do an orbit motion come back to the other way And now the Zach Cunningham is going for the third time now. He's had to readjust his eyes So all they're trying to do is To get you to hesitate because that's all takes with speed if you hesitate like Denver like Denver Nobody played that bad defense in this in this century in the NFL when they played Denver, but they were all frozen. They honestly didn't. They were just stuck. They didn't know what to do. And next thing you know these guys are buying. And so that's what this whole offense is predicated upon. Like just getting you to hesitate to freeze, to overthink, to go the wrong way, misdirection. Like it's it's

I think lions fans all know their team is good, but I also think that through years of history and torture, they're like, hey, is there a chance this could be fool's gold? I don't think so. I think Jared's been playing incredible football. Their defense looks good. What do you see when

you're watching the Lions and how they're able to adapt with injuries and keep winning these games? Well, I see great coaching. I mean, you know, you think about it. Last year, they were the worst defensive football. Nobody was even close. And they were the 30th ranked run defensive football. They're the number one ranked run defensive football right now. Tampa Bay couldn't get two yards of carry last week. Like, they play the game the right way. They play tough, physical, with great fundamentals.

You freeze them on any play. Their knees are bent. They've got separation. They're getting off blocks. This Alex Anzaloni, the middle linebacker, they call him Thor Like he plays like Thor. Like he's as good as any middle linebacker football. Rokwan Smith, pick a guy in this business. Fred Warner. Like he's as good as anybody. And then you just watch the talent level You know, nobody knows who Jerry Jacobs is at right corner

But he tackles like a son of a bitch. He's got three interceptions. Kirby Joseph, Aiden Hutchinson, you know, like Jack Campbell, like they're talented on defense right now, and they're playing like it. And so, and then last week, you saw what James and Williams can do. Like that guy, I nicked him in the comment today. He's a comment. Like they don't know, like he runs right by, he likes a shrieking comment in the sky. They ran right by Tampa and then look like Willie May is tracking a ball center field. Yeah. You know, he made a stop on a 18-yard stop route against Jamel Dean. Jamel Dean is still skinny off the field right now. Find a comfort for his brakes. Like he put a Jake break on Jamel Dean and I was like, oh my god, he's gonna break ankles this guy.

And he's just getting started. Yeah, that's my favorite thing to talk about is like, okay, it's great to have a guy that goes zero to 60 faster than anybody, but it's almost better to have a guy that goes from 60 to zero faster than anybody. Stop and start. Stop and start. Yeah. Now, do you have a vote for MVP?

Do you vote for offensive player of the year? No, I don't do anything. Oh, you should. I don't really care about that stuff But you watch more tape. They do it like what no the point is like I I'm frustrated by all that stuff because it's all regular season and to me like if you're the same Cisco 49ers or the Eagles Like the regular season is important. Don't get me wrong seeding is important But to these teams the only thing that's important is January foot. Mm-hmm

So like when you're like I remember last year I thought Max Crosby was a defensive player of the year like by early December So I'm doing a game in San Francisco and it's in pregame warm up I'm down the field and dick bose comes by and Nick gives me like a little Shug on the shoulder and it just whispers to me. So you think Max is the MVP? I go, well, he plays every single staff. Like I see you, you know, you're going off the field. He never comes off the field.

He goes, yeah, well, I'm trying to win a championship, though, but so his point was a good point. Yeah. Like he's trying to play 20 games. Max might play 17 games. So I understand the point, but the point is, my bigger point is, well, can we just play this thing all the way out and then award these players the trophies?

I agree. Because I feel like what you do in January is vitally important. Yeah, or at least wait a couple weeks into the post season. Yeah, no, it's true. Yeah, it's true. But, but if you were to, if you were to have an MVP vote, am I, am I delusional to think that Jared Goff is in the conversation right now? No, the, the five and one is playing great football, the offense is dynamic. The guy's toughest can be like, you know, everybody thought he was this rental in Detroit. And they'll just use these resources to go find, you know, you can find a better quarterback than Jared Goff. Yeah.

And you know, the, the first of all, he's a lockstep with a really talented offense coordinator, Ben Johnson. And so they really see the field the same way. He's got a stud rookie tie-in in the Laporta. He's got a number one receiver and I'm on Ross St. Brown. He's got a bunch of running backs that get banged up, but they just keep rolling along. He's got an outstanding offense line. There's not many people in this world like Penaisuil. They could just, like if there was an 18 wheeler truck with a flat tire,

he could move the truck off the highway and I'll just find some. Yeah, I'm just gonna bet. I'm just gonna bet. But like, he's not gonna play any better or go anywhere else, like he is right now in Detroit. This might be the best team he's better on.

Yeah, anyway, to a super. Yeah, all right. I know. All right, so I'm at the point in the season. It happened earlier than I thought that I'm like, don't even want to talk about the Bears anymore. But we were talking about it before we started. So very quickly, is Justin Fields

or is the offensive coordinator? I mean, I thought they were improving, honestly, until last week. So the opening took, they played the Minnesota Vikings last week. And all, if you watch 10 seconds of the Minnesota Vikings this year, the defense coordinator Brian Flores lines up in a blitz zero look puts everybody in the defensive line. They're either all coming or summer dropping or there's

just playing man coverage behind. Like you see it every week. It's what they do. First play it again. They line up in it and Justin Fields gets sacked and they act like they were surprised by right I mean did anybody watch one game of film the whole week till like the guy like here comes 100 Smith right off the edge like he's up there for a reason and when I saw that I was like okay'm not going to kill the bears because obviously there's something dysfunctional there to get beat on that play like that right away. And then they put, you know, the kid Tyson Batchin in there, you know, look, the kid was playing Miller'sville College last year at this time for homecoming.

Now he's running the bears offence, and they got him in these empty sets against these Blitz Zero looks and I'm like, help the kid out. Yeah. Give it, give it to the running back. Give it to the, like, let Cole come and take a snap. Like, you put this kid that's a free agent in there. Like in this divisional game, like, I was so frustrated. All right, could it, I just like, you know what, let me just watch the right tack.

Yeah, yeah, good answer. All right, so that that was the bear's talk. That's all I needed to hear. Yeah. It does seem like they're doing Justin Fields at disservice. Anybody in that position right now, you can't expect to excel with what's going on upstairs

at that team. What about the bills? What about our beloved Buffalo bills? They seem like the most schizophrenic team in the NFL where they just go out and they play stinkers and then the next week they'll go out and they'll light up the scoreboard and their offense looks great and everybody's like, oh, the bills are fixed and then the week after that will be like what's wrong with Buffalo bills. So I guess specifically from an offensive standpoint

because a defense doesn't look too shabby, but from an offensive standpoint, what do the bills need to fix? Well, I don't know. They're trying to run the ball better. James Cook, they're just trying to run it better with what they have. They've really addressed the offense line with two guards, rookie guard, right guard, and free agent left. They got a lot bigger up front. They look like they can run the ball a little bit better.

There's just not a lot of timing to their offense. A lot of it is Josh being Josh Which is just a freak athlete and you know he runs around you know some weeks and Like against Washington and you can do whatever he wants to Stefan digs and you know Then sometimes they fall in love with Stefan like they did last week early in the game And then he was the only one getting a ball and nobody else has touched I just feel like there's got to be some there's got to be some rhythm. You can't just play freelance football all the time and just try to extend these plays. It looks fun on highlights when

it works, but when it doesn't work, like you're off the field pretty quick. So I feel like there's got to be a little bit more timing to the offense. The Dalton can cades a really good player. Dawson, I like the tight ends are good. Like I just feel like they've got to figure this thing out where Josh can still be Josh. He can still be this, you know, this guy that I'm not going to say he's playing hero ball. That's not what he does. But sometimes I feel like that's what they they strive to do. And yes, it's difficult to defend, but it also leads to mistakes in turnovers like it has. I just think they need to like get into a more of a rhythm on offense, right?

Yeah, I can see that makes sense. On time, yeah. Yeah, like going a nice long drive, put together some nice plays, let the offense get some confidence, and then that builds over and later in the game here. They get the offense confidence, but like they've lost Matanilano,

they've lost to Davies White, they lost one of their safeties for a while. Like they're losing, they lost Greg or so, they're losing good players. And so, you know, we got to see about some of the young guys that are replacing them right now, how they hold up. Like, you know, Kair Elan wasn't playing for reason. I mean, I know he was the first round pick, but he got beat out by a six round pick from Villanova, you know, and so now all these corners are forced to play. And, you

know, none of them are today. So they had a replace, really good player. Yeah. Okay. So we judge teams on their win loss, which is stupid. You obviously watched the tape. Tell us the team that maybe doesn't have the record right now, but you're like, they're playing good ball, and I'm gonna expect something from them in the second half of the season. Well, I feel like if Seattle can get healthy, there are teams that can make noise, because they play, you know, Pete Carroll's a great coach.

He's just a great coach. And from everything, from a motivator to, like, he's got a vision of how to play the game. Like, I feel like Seattle, they've been playing rookies on the offensive line and they've got beat up there. And you know, they've got some growing pains on defense with some young guys. I feel like that's a team that could round out into form. Like I believe that they could make some noise. I would say right now that if you're not like Atlanta frustrates me.

Yes. Because I feel like if you could get Tom Brady away from some celebrity of function he's at right now and put him in a Falcon uniform, I feel like they could win a Super Bowl. Yeah. The quarterback is just, it's too up and down. The town is ridiculous. You like you see it, you know, whether it's B. John or Pets or London and what they have, like they've got and they got a solid offensive line. Like they just they shouldn't be losing these games right now. Their defense is it sound and it's going to get better because they got some young players. I feel like a Lanta they could they they might find their stride before this thing. I like that. That's good answer They do look they do look tough on defense. They were playing my commanders last week and I just have one commander's question for you

Because we talk about them enough, but What is going wrong with that defense because Sam how it looks good at the quarterback position the offense looks okay at times I'd like to see him run the ball a little bit more if they can. But the offense doesn't seem to be the problem in DC this year. It seems to be Jack Del Rio's defense, and they've got four of the best defense alignment up front playing almost every down. You'd expect a little bit more from that group and with the talent that they have. What is going wrong in DC?

How do you fix it? Well, I mean, you've got four number one draft picks in the defense line. That doesn't mean they're great players. Like they got to play harder than what they play. Chase has to play hard. Like he's got talent, but he's blockable though. I see tight ends block him.

You know, he's got to play hard. They've got to, and I told Chase in Montessweck this couple of weeks ago before the Eagles game. I said, you know, like, it's got to play hard. They've got to, and I told Chase in Montess what this couple weeks ago before the Eagles game, I said, you know, like, they, it's up to them to basically the, the, the great defense is in his whole business right now. Like, there's not any Chicago sorry about that. I mean, they're trying to play hard. But like, defense are built around the defensive lines. The great defenses in football have gained changes on the defensive line. And they changed the game. They

hit the quarterback. They hit the quarterback. So our ball pops up like they chased the quarterback like the jets did the other day to jail and hers. Like put your resources in your defense line. But if you do that, make sure they're dogs like get after it. And like never stop hustling. Like you watch this jail in Carter now, like he's a dog. Like the balls throw, get down the field and go chase it, knock it loose.

They've got to do more up front than what they're doing right now. Yeah, I feel like sweat has that effort. Sweat doesn't give up. Allen has that effort, pain has that effort. Chase Young wants every like three or four plays. He'll just stand you up, stick an arm out, and not even try to get down, feeling get blocked by a tight end, like he said.

Face right now, like he needs a better arsenal to attack an offensive tackle or protection than what he has. He can't, he doesn't have the power, just to run people over the way some guys do in this business, but he hasn't developed a good enough arsenal to beat people. And that's what you need need you need tackles out there Like going what the hell is he gonna do next? He's like you have wide. He's like I'm short like I don't know what you know like you need

To geek those tackles guessing and then when this chip comes in the running back comes to help out like you got to defeat that Yeah, like Max pros beat the feats every block comes out like he's just a different album, but you know Chase right now needs the other guys to make something happen and then he can use his athletic ability to run and chase and make something happen But they're not doing enough upfront right now. Yeah, all right So the one of the most volatile Debates online right now. This is why I love you Baldi because you watch the film you give us a fair take Justin Herbert. Tell us what you see with Justin Herbert, because there are people who think he can do no wrong. There are people that think he stinks. It's clearly somewhere in the middle. And like last night was a perfect example where he misses a few

throws that win that game and it's fair to criticize him, even though he is a phenomenal quarterback. Well, he's a talent. He's a talent. Like you watch Justin Herbert warm up and throw a football. You're like, nobody looks better than that. The ball spins. It comes out. It's like a tight spiral. Like he looks the part. But you know, last night, they seriously had a game plan to go out to Doron Blan with Kenan Allen and he double moved them twice and he was completely shook to corner. He just got to make like he sailed both both plays to him. Like if you complete just one of those maybe it's not a three point game maybe it's a charge of win. So like they can't run the ball like you

know Dallas played for safety safeties last night, you got to run a team out of four safeties, you got to make them put bigger people on the field. They couldn't do it. But I thought he missed two big shots there. I thought the fourth and one where he rolled out, he could have just taken off with it. Like he's running more this year than he has in the past. He's run for three touchdowns this year.

He didn't run for any last year. I know he's got the bad banged up, you know, finger on the left hand. But I fell on fourth and one. Go get like mom's not hesitating. He's just going to go get the first day. And I feel like that part of him is missing. Like immediately as soon as he saw Keenan Allen double on that fourth and one roll out, like just go just go get the for you. Six six, you're 240 pounds. Just go get the first down. Yeah, yeah, that's good answer. What about the other side of that game last night? The Cowboys, they look, they look pretty good. Defense looks excellent. They're, they're lying on offense at least

is like, he talked about moving people. They can move people on that offensive line. I personally, so I'm a self avowed Dallas hater. I grew up in Washington, have to hate Dallas. A lot of people out there hate Dallas. A lot of people love Dallas. But I'm of the opinion that it's better for the Dallas haters. If they continue to play better and better and better and better and the expectations get really, really high and then they don't meet expectations at the end. But right now what I'm seeing from them actually makes me scared that Dallas is going to be a very, very good football team this year, and they're going to be able to compete later on.

I know they said, you know, let's play again to the 49ers. I'm afraid that the Dallas Cowboys are a legitimately great football team right now. So what do you see from the Cowboys that makes them great? And then what do you think is the one thing that could be a liability for them? Well I don't think you're a great team. I think that the Cowboys look like that classic high school basketball team that when they play that game in that little small gym and it's packed and they're just running and dunking and fast breaking they look unbeatable.

And then you put them on a big NBA court out there and they slow it down and they look, don't look like they could do anything. Like the 49ers just fast break to be dead. Like they then have any answer to that. Arizona ran the ball for 20 yards against. Those things are issues. Losing late vandoresh, losing trade-on things. Those are bad losses.

You can only lose so many guys like that. I don't feel like Michael Gallup, I don't even know like they can go to it. You never catch it. There's no timing there. I don't get that at all. CDs are legitimately great player, no doubt. He's the toughest can be like a hell of a competitor, a good route runner, CDs, the real thing. Like he's a tough as can be like a hell of a competitor. It's good route runner like CDs the real thing Sometimes they they go away from them You know, he doesn't get any targets. I'm like he should be getting you should be like Devonte Adams or Stefan Diggs He should be getting 1012 Token to cool. He should be getting 1012 targets every game

No doubt so I feel like they go away from him sometimes and I just worry about that in big spots Yeah, like we've seen it. Like he, like look I played in Dallas, I understand there's a starbock and there's a magnet. You're gonna always be compared to those guys and that's fair in Dallas. But like you have to play big, you gotta elevate the guys around you in big games against the 49ers, against the Eagles. It's not like the red and like the charge you stink on defense, like they're just, they just do things that are boggier. You know, like just make it just like shutter a little bit sometimes. But I feel like the

cowboys against opponents that are lesser than them, less talented, they can go put up a big number. But I got to see them against the Eagles, you know, see them against the better, the five or six good, really good teams in his league, right? Yeah, yeah, it's good point. All right, I five or six good, really good teams in his league. Yeah. Yeah. It's good point.

All right. I have one last question, Paul. This has been great. We love having you on. It's a rowback question, RHO, B, A, C, K, dot com, promo code, take 20% off your first purchase, Q, Z, polo, so these joggers shorts, everything, rowback dot com, promo code, take, give us one guy that you're obsessed with this year in terms of freak when you pop on the tape. One guy you didn't maybe, maybe wasn't your guy last year, but now whatever he's doing

could be a rookie, could be a vet. One guy. The Juan Jones, right tackle on the Cleveland Browse. You know, I nicknamed him, you know, he's got a nickname, big fanos. I nicknamed him the Pacific Mantar. When he was playing Pittsburgh and TJ Watte, he had a play where his left hand was in Pittsburgh and his right hand was in Cleveland. His wind span is seven foot five inches. It's a freak. And he's 380 pounds and he can move. And he's got to swagger. he's got that big man swagger.

You know, like nothing bothers him. CJ Watt beats him. Okay, CJ Watt beats everybody. Didn't bother him at all. Nick Bosa, he shut Nick out. You know, like Nick didn't get nothing awful. You know, like he's going up against the last two defensive players the year. Like he just acted like it was, you know, Ohio state against, you know, Indiana, like no big deal. I love watching the kid play though. I love it.

Pacific man. They want to give me a, they want to give me a, a Dwan Jones jersey. I'm like the official, like fan club. I like now, but I love watching the play. Great answer. Any other great nicknames to come up with? Yeah, I just, I just named James and Williams the comment. Yeah, I like that one. Like he's like, he's a comment. Yeah, I like that one. He's the comment. And then, you know, obviously, Max Crosby is the conduit. He loves it. All these clothing lines, all the conduit.

So, yeah, I mean, sometimes you just see things. You know, Buddha Baker, just named the cobra the way he strikes. You know, there's things just, you sit there, you've got to entertain yourself. You're in a film room by yourself. Yeah. 15 hours later, do something to entertain yourself. Yeah, we film room by yourself yeah 15 hours do something entertain yourself yeah we're talking the last time you're on about how much football you watch and we we do think that you watch more football than anybody else in the world I believe that yeah I don't think anybody does more I like my girlfriend's she knows like she

learned it she didn't understand she gets it now I'm like look Monday in Tuesday don't even recall like I'm not taking your call I like you and I like to be with you, but I'm not taking your call like I started six and If I can make it till 9 9 30 I'll go home watch half time of the Monday night game But Monday's in Tuesday's it's it's 15 16 hours. I want to try to get through every game because I feel like if you're an analyst You should like at least analyze some. Yeah. I'm not gonna read the box score. Until you watch Miami and their emotions

and shifts and all this stuff, you'll never understand why. There's good as they are right now. Right. You know, if you don't watch in Chicago Bears, like don't make you throw something at the TV for sure. Like, just burn down how it's all, you know, start all over, but like, you have to watch it. Otherwise, I don't know how he's supposed to know.

Would you say you've watched every play of every game for the last 10 years? Not every play. Not every, I haven't watched every play. But I've watched every game. I've watched every game play so far. Sometimes I'll just skip through it real fast. And then sometimes I'll do a breakdown on a player like this Alex and Zaloni You know against handful was all over the field you have to break them down. Yeah, I have to put something out Yeah, it's like you see it. You're like, I got to stop everything and break this down So it takes a little time to get it done and then you know things don't upload on Twitter now for whatever reason and like you now You're like mother, you know, you know, you know, you know, you're ready to blow yourself up here.

Like I'm literally sit here and entertain myself. I figured if I entertain myself, the people watching, the players, coaches, fans, whatever, they're being entertained. That's fact. That's a fact. You watch all the tape. When you're not watching tape, you're working out with Lane Johnson in a barn somewhere. Yeah. And then you got, you know, date night on Fridays. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. I was out there. So on Saturday, last Saturday, I have a house in Port Lauderdale. So I have a, you know, a big paddle board, you know. So I take my paddle board out because it's perfect day on Saturday morning. And I was able to paddle, swim, and dive all together. Like, I had this one reef off the coast. So I just paddle out, you know jumped in through my mask on Start swimming with you know some nurse sharks or whatever. So it was like it was just a like it was a A day where I was thinking a little bit about the jets and the eagles when I was under

At the same time I was like my head was on a swim. Yeah, because if these little sharks come like I'm getting out of the world I love it I love it. Well Paul thei, you're the best. We'll have you back on later on this year because we love talking ball with you. Thank you guys. Yeah, thanks so much and we'll talk soon. All right, you bet, man.

And now here's Drake May. Okay, it's time for one question with a quarterback and we got a great quarterback this week.

The undefeated North Carolina tar heels. It is Drake May playing some great ball tea. I Before we started this, this is in a question. I said you've been ballin out He said we've been ballin out, which I love. I love team guys So one question with a quarterback. We all get one question We're actually gonna start with Jake because I like his question the most and then and then PFT and I will ask the question We have memes and maxiers well. Jake, take it away. Hey, Drake, Jake Marsh, part of my take podcast.

Thanks for joining us today. Given that your team rocks the coolest color in sports. How many straight days do you think you have worn Carolina blue? Ooh. Mm. That's a good question, Jake. Yeah. God, Lily.

There was a time, you know, point time especially in high school, kind of when you're committed somewhere, you like to wear your colors, kind of in high school, kind of around, but probably in college, just, you know, probably going to class or you know, wearing a fall camp, probably that time between fall camp and the starter school, I think probably a month, probably at least something

can kind of on a blue wearer's J's on or sweat pants or shirt like this. So I try to keep it on, try to wrap the school and, you know, as well as Carolina blue or navy. But you know, it's the best color in the country and you know, it's hard. It is the best color in the country. I have a theory that at least 20% of the students at North Carolina picked it solely because of the colors because it is that good of a color Like I if I was if I had to pick a school again I maybe would do North Carolina just so I could rock the colors. Okay. Good question Jake

My question my one question with quarterback circle of trust is a trust tree here Have you at least peaked every now and then maybe even go on private mode on your phone? Have you at least peaked at some mock drafts? Just take a look just you don't you don't you don't we don't read our press clippings But if you just look like peaked and been like oh, okay, that's interesting Oh, you sometimes you get tagged in them and they pop up on your feet a little bit sometimes weird Now I got ESPN notifications and sometimes I'll see my name in them.

It's just weird, you know, seeing that, you know, growing up, you know, seeing the ESPN alerts and just, you know, seeing it's falling somebody big time now on that point of view. But now you come across them, but I really try to stay out of that and just focus on ball on all this stuff. Great answer.

Great answer. That's a great answer because I would literally just spend all day doing mock drafts if I were you. That's probably great answer because I would I would literally just spend all day doing mock drafts if I were you. That's probably the difference between me and you. Okay. PFT your question. Yeah, I've got I think it's a pretty easy one, but maybe one that we don't know the answer to. What is a tarhill? Yeah, tarhill. It goes back kind of to the kind of the history. It has to do with something with the war and how something they put tar on their heels, kind of the kind of the history. It has to do something with the war and how something they put tar on their heels

kind of to represent kind of grit. And I think that we use a ram as our mascot, but really it's about, it goes back to kind of the war. It's probably bad, that I don't really know the exact story, but no it has something to do with kind of something type of war and being kind of just being dogs and being gritty. And sometimes we also get that one key kind of stereotype, but I think we've kind of going some type of war and being kind of just being dogs and being gritty. And sometimes we also get that one. He's kind of stereotype, but I think we've kind of going to show,

you know, a football program this year, we're bringing it. That was a good, so I lied, I lied because I know what a tar wheel is. So maybe this could be like a teachable moment for us here. So back in the day, North Carolina, they exported a lot of like pine tar. And that was what they used to build ships with. And they called all the people that worked in the pine tar industry, they called them tar heels. Kind of like as an insult to be like, oh, you worked this like gritty, lower class job,

but then they took it back and they're like, yeah, damn right, we're proud we're tar heels. And then during the war, they called themselves tar heels because they like wouldn't move. You couldn't move them off their line. But it started out just being like, okay, we're gonna take that word back. Tarahill is a good thing now.

There you go. That was pretty close. Yeah, that was exactly what I was gonna say. Drake, you, that was a phenomenal answer. As a guy who bullshits for a living and doesn't know a lot of things is very dumb, like generally dumb, I can tell right away when you didn't know the answer,

but you did a really good job of half answering it. Like I give you an A plus, you could be a podcaster. Cause that you just did our job. And all the best at it, I try to, but not think it's gonna be I just some of the award kind of being tough and standing and not retreating. I know I've done some of that. Yeah, you hit a couple of buzzwords.

That's perfect. All right, Max, you're one question with the quarterback. Hi, Drake. This is Max producer here. We like to do this with all of our guests where we just say a bunch of random cities. And then at the end, I'm going to ask you what your favorite is of these cities. First would be Chicago. Great city. We live here now. Great city. Boston Denver

Minnesota is an excellent city We'll stick we'll stick with Minnesota or Charlotte, but like Charlotte is also Chicago Yeah, out of those cities which one do you like the most? Yeah, so out of those cities, which one do you like the most? Obviously I'm from Charlotte. I'm a little biased there, but you know, really all of them. You know, any of them, I've been in the comments a couple of times. I haven't been to Boston or Minnesota, but you know, really all, I think they all great sees, all great fan bases and they all kind of had their own special thing. Yeah, well, you've probably never been to Boston, but you've probably been to Foxboro before,

right? Foxboro is kind of a destination stop. What do you think about Foxboro? Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know, they have some rich history and some awesome fans, so, you know, wherever, so, I know it's all city. We just proved how dumb we are when Max just like, here's some list of cities, Minnesota.

Uh, okay, memes. Last question, the Drake has a question for us. Hey, Drake, how far can you throw a football? Oh, good question. Good question. Oh, you know, it's different. I will say when you're in a game and there's fans and you're pumped up and you got some adrenaline going. I mean, I think you asked a lot of other questions. It has at least probably five to ten yards to your throw. So probably if I went out there and practiced, I could probably throw it probably 65, probably just 60 few, but I'm sure in a game, you know,

if I get wild up or Hill Mary's something I could get it 70 for sure. Oh, that's it. That's awesome. That's something he's, I was just a little, I actually, I got a text here from from Hague. This is Hank's one question and he's not here. He wants to know, have you met Michael Jordan yet?

I have, I have met him. I have met him, Jay. Obviously he's the goat. He's my goat. If you go to Carolina, I think you're wrong. If you don't, you know, have you met Michael Jordan yet? I have, I have met him. I have met him, Jay. Obviously he's the goat. You know, he's my goat. If you go to Carolina, I think you're wrong. If you don't, you know, things to go. And obviously y'all in Chicago, so hopefully y'all think the same. But, yeah, I met him at a basketball game a couple of times.

And then he has been football around footballs a month, but I know he's busy. And he's a great dude. And, you know, obviously face of, face of Jordan, face of no Carolina, I think he represents well. Yeah, yeah. All right. So Drake, do you have one question for us? Yeah, I kind of thought about it a little bit.

Jeremy kind of told me that we had one question. So yeah, it's for Big Cat, really. And I asked one for the group too. For Big Cat, when I was a freshman here, true freshman, you know, obviously Sam was here. I think he went on Twitter. I think you end up calling him Chubby at one point. If you remember that.

I do. It's kind of your thought, I was behind, you're statement behind that and kind of, how your relationship with Sam, I actually is one of close friends, he's one of my best friends. Have you kind of repaired the relationship and how's that going now?

Yeah, great question. I have repaired the relationship. He actually was one question with a quarterback like two weeks ago. Was he really good? Yeah, we brought this up to him. I mean, he looked fat. I don't know what you want me to say.

His face looked fat in the picture. He looked like it was, I think it was a training camp. Looked like he was kind of doing a little, I'm gonna work myself into shape training camp. And yeah, he got me back because he was like, you're fat too. And I was like, I should've seen this coming.

I don't know why I, like, yes, you're right. Calling and calling a division one quarterback who's going to the NFL fat. Yeah, he's key can call me fat back. But yeah, we've, we've, we've hashed it out. Did you see the picture? I mean, you agree with me. His face looked fat.

Nah, I mean, that's kind of his stereotype. He's got the kind of stock you'd be building. Okay. Up to the way he runs full. I think he's pretty hard to bring down. So he's got some, he's, that's kind of a stereotype. He's got the kind of stock you'd be building. Okay. Up to the way he runs the ball. I think it's pretty hard to bring down. So he's got some, he's strong. You're just seeming the weight room. He's different.

He's a different cat. Yeah. Yeah. That's, yeah. I just picked up golf. Who's the best golfer out of the group? I mean, yeah. I beat Brooks Kepger, one on one.

So I mean, he hasn't won a major in like six months. So that's not that impressive. But, yeah. But the answer is Jake. Jake is the best. Yeah, Jake's the best. By the way, you, I like what you did there with Sam because I will sometimes do that.

We're just like, if you have a fat day or like, yeah, but you seem the weight room. Like, that's just strength. You got confused. Fat could be confused for strength. But you got great job. So you're, you, listen, I'm not gonna come at you. Also, there's a potential you move to Charlotte that also looks like Chicago.

So all right, well Drake, thank you so much, man. Best of luck. We're rooting for you. Incredible season so far. Keep it rolling. And whenever our paths cross again, we'll have you on for an extended interview sounds good Appreciate y'all.

We eat Snickers ice cream all the time. Who's up? Hank. And is the regular Snickers bars

great as well? Oh yeah. Sup Bellas. I regularly travel for work and had a call that I needed to join while I was in a hotel. I decided to be efficient and kill two birds with one stone and join the meeting while I was showering. About 30 seconds into the call, I realized that my camera was on in the 62 person meeting. Luckily, it was only the upper half of my body that was being shown.

But just the hosts of myself are on camera. Boss emailed me on the side and I now have a call set up with him on Thursday. No chance I could fire it for a simple jimbo, right? Were you two being yourself? Wait, were you pulling a tubing? He was getting in the shower and taking the call? He was on the call in the shower.

Are you guys phoned in the shower, guys? No, like that's a, I never understood that. That's like, no, that's like mixing baking powder and vinegar. You don't, nothing good can happen when you're phoned in the shower. Yeah. Jake Rips' Apple Watch in the shower, I still think is the most anti-jake medical thing of all time. Well, remember a few years ago, I didn't know water mode existed,

so I accidentally texted you guys like random emojis, because the water hit it, but water mode existed, so I accidentally texted you guys like random emojis because the water hit it, but water mode saves that. Wait, so wait, what do you mean you Apple watch in the shower? Like you can like voice text. You do that while naked? You've texted us while naked? No, I don't think so, but I texted people before

like you can voice text back. And I want me to To specify if you're ever texting us will naked add the eggplant emoji. Yeah Listen I'm we're guys, okay, I've texted you guys many times while on the shitter. I've probably called you guys on the shitter In the naked in the in the showers a totally different situation. I would never break that, that's guy code. I would never text you guys fully naked. I'd at least have my socks on. I don't even think about guys when I'm naked.

No, hell no. Well, football, I do think about football. Do you guys bring your phone into the bathroom while you shower? Yeah, because you take a ship first. Because you never leave your phone anywhere. Yeah, you take it. I use my phone when I take a bath. Oh, because you take a ship first. Because you never leave your phone anywhere. Yeah, you take it. I used my phone when I take a bath. Oh, shut up.

Oh my God. I'm a terrible, grossest visual ever. The thing is, Max isn't wrong. Like, I think it's more normal for Max to be bringing his phone into the bath and doing his handling his business and making calls and business moves than it is for Jake to be on his Apple Watch with just like his soggy little penis hanging down,

sending voice text to us. This is a testament to you guys, but I'll keep my phone in the bathroom. And there's a picture, I think this only group text or person contact that I have a picture set up with is the PMT group text. There's a picture like Avatar or whatever. And when I'm showering, if I get a picture set up with is the PMT group text. There's a picture like Avatar or whatever.

And when I'm showering, if I get a text message, I can't, obviously it's like my class is foggy, I can't see who it is. But if I see the PMT picture pop up, I'll get out of the shower and check what's going on. Oh, man, good man. That's solid. So I'm gonna text a naked one, so twice, you know.

Okay, all right, well we should just listen. If we're gonna text naked, let's just, let's put a disclaimer. That's all we're asking. I think that's fair. A group, like if I text you guys naked, I will throw the eggplant in there eggplant and then maybe the cherries too. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. All right. I goofed big time. I'm planning a new year's trip with two different groups of friends. There's one girlfriend that the larger group secretly can't stand. And with both group chats having similar names, I talked trash about the girlfriend and the wrong chat and got exposed big time.

How do I come back from this? Can you play it off like it was a joke? Like do you have that relationship where it's like, ah, you know, like I just, I call you bitch. You know, that's kind of the relationship we have. Oh, man, that's the only play, the only other play I have and this is more speaking of my age because like the older you get, you just kind of lose friends

and you're also not, you're like, all right, oh, like, okay, that friendship's over. I think maybe that friendship's just over. Like, you don't like her. Yeah, you might as well just go twice as hard at that point. I'm like, just hit a bit. Hopefully, hopefully your friends with the boyfriend of the girlfriend,

and it's not like, you know, your girlfriend's friend, but you can just be like, dude, I obviously fucked that up, but I got to just be honest. Yeah. Yeah. Just be like, this is what it is. It just is what it is. I bet if you take the road of, yeah, this is just how I feel. Your honesty will actually make you closer with many people in that same group chat that

are all thinking the exact same thing, but never had the balls to say it. Yeah. You can just act like you had the balls to say it. But don't be, don't be the guy. The only problem with that is it like I agree with you, PFT. That definitely might bring you closer. Just don't then talk for everyone else because people will probably be like, yeah, she does suck, but don't then say, well, guess what?

I talked to everyone and they all think she sucks. That would be a, then you'd be an asshole. Yeah, and like don't go out of your way to bully her, you know, don't like making, don't make it a thing, but just having having her know that you don't like her. And if you stand up to that, if you're like, if you stand behind that fact that yeah, I don't care for this person, people in that group will be like, yeah, thank you for saying that. Thank you for speaking up. Yes, but yeah, just send the and the friendship. It's fine. You get new friends. And if you don't, who cares as well? Football's on.

You know what sucks is pretending to really, like if you're if you're in a group of friends with somebody that you don't like, pretending to have to be great friends with them on these long trips. So you just kind of saved yourself. Well, and also it's not like a secret. You have friends. You have friend groups. And then you have friends that like you wouldn't, you know, spend if you don't, you're not like spending a ton of like solo time with them. Maybe it's not a secret. Let's just say they

probably know. Or if you didn't want to stand behind it, you could just go get a new phone and then act like you have a new phone like a week ago and that somebody else got your old number and now they're texting a group chat. They hate the girlfriend. Yeah, check yourself in a rehab. Yeah. Okay, last one. Just say I'm seeking therapy and then that'll wipe everything away. Just amoea just emphasize your original text. I just am yet to emphasize your original text. I went to the Jets Eagles game in MetLife, parked in the American Dream Sky, used no punctuation, King. I went to the Jets Eagles game in MetLife, parked in the American Dream because I thought everyone was an idiot supposed to be a period here, but there's not.

I'm just going to really like he wrote it. I went to the Jets Eagles game and MetLife, parked in the American dream because I thought everyone was an idiot, didn't realize they closed the park a lot after the start of the game. So couldn't get my car on game night, had to take an Uber from the MetLife to Manhattan. Then on Monday, when to get my car, took the train,

but didn't realize that they don't have trains in MetLife unless it's on game day, had to Uber from Paramus to MetLife when I got to where my car had to go, oh, there's just no punctuation. Don't make these faces, Jake. What about the words? Are the words right? When I got to where I parked my car had been towed,

this is what it says, when I got to where I parked my car had been towed, this is what it says. When I got to where I parked my car had been towed, had to take an Uber to the tow place and play pay massive tickets instead of paying $50 a cost to 400 and just tickets hundreds and Uber costs. Is this perfect? Is this perfect? No, there was not a hint of punctuation there.

There are no cars worth what you went through. Just leave. I'm sorry, just, just let it go. There's nothing worse than having to take multiple different forms of transportation to pick up a car. Yeah, just say reported stolen. Just like move on. Um, yeah, that's, I, there's also like a pretty good chance.

This guy got so wasted that he just left. He forgot that he parked his car in the regular parking lot and then got towed. Right? No, that's, no, because you know the American dream, that's such like a moves pick. Oh, why aren't you guys just parking in the mall? Yeah, they probably clean up the tow truck companies.

Oh, they get everyone for that. They're the tiniest little signs there. Oh, man. I mean, MetLife is the war like just such a miserable experience to go to. Yeah, it's not fun. Like, you can't get their public transportation. It's a shit show to leave. It's super far away.

There's nothing close by. Well, the American Dream Mall is pretty sick. I just take my kids there. Oh, no, have you ever been? No. Okay, that's what I thought. It's actually really sick. It's fucking cute.
