Today is Monday, August 2nd and I am never going on vacation again. I'm sorry, Hank, no more vacations, everything that could have happened poorly in my life happened, sports life I should say, I had a wonderful vacation with my family father or two so don't say mean things to me, but holy shit, I can never go on vacation again.

It was just a firefest all around for everybody on this podcast, everyone had a firefest happen to us over the weekend except for Jake. Yeah, except for Jake who we'll talk to him, we'll talk about his big debut on the cock. But yeah, I made a quick list. So in the past week, Aaron Rodgers decided to unretire, which, you know, we're going to talk about that in a second. No, but I have a much more plain way to put it, Aaron Rodgers decided that he was going to be a divan, take Blake Bortles job.

Yes, yes, yes, Blake Bortles got cut, Aaron Rodgers unretired and I know deep down I was like he's obviously going to come back, but I also believe that maybe he would actually retire. The Cubs traded everyone, everyone, the entire core and then everyone decided to Homer in their debut with their new team in consecutive days. Anthony Rizzo hit a Yabo on Friday for the Yankees, Javi Baez on Saturday for the Mets and then Chris Bryant and they're calling him Bryant Giant and I want to fucking kill myself.

Chris Giant, Homer for the Giants on Sunday and Djokovic with Drew, everyone knows I'm a huge Djokovic guy. So the grant, the gold slam is now defunct. The water dogs are good, so I can't make fun of them anymore. That fucking sucks. And then I got attacked by JLo Stans last week and a bunch of like 16 year old girls online made me feel like an asshole. That was fun.

That one doesn't count as being a bad thing that happened. I just felt bullied. And you know what else is kind of cool is that Swarber has not made his debut for the Red Sox yet. So you'll get a second wave when Swarber goes Yabo and is probably his first at-bat for Boston. We're passing Swarber around like a little bitch, now he's Hanks. And he would be perfect for the Yankees with that short porch.

Enjoy it, Hank. Which one of those three hurts the most? The Cubs I was ready for, even though the prolonged like, I don't know how they figured out the way to get all three of those guys to debut in different days. And then all of them to Homer and everyone would just be like, wow, this really, really sucks. Well, Rodgers is definitely like, fuck him. Which Cubs player does it hurt you the most to see them doing well with their new team?

Oh, good question, Hank. So the heart says Anthony Rizzo because he's the de facto captain of the Cubs. He's the guy who turned it all around. The head says, you have a 29-year-old Chris Bryant who's a stud who you can only dream of getting a guy like that. And somehow the Cubs decided, like, didn't figure out a way to extend him and have him be a Cub for life. So that would be my, and then probably my balls is Javi Baez because he plays a big

Cajones. Well, also, I mean, with Djokovic, there was no way that we could have seen a meltdown like that coming from a class act like Djokovic. No. He's a big cat. He smashed his racket. Like you say what you want about Djokovic and his entire personality, his body of work, but he usually treats the sport and equipment very well.

Agreed. And he's always a class act. And I would never imagine that he would break two rackets and then withdraw and force his mixed doubles partner to not win a medal at the Olympics. He quit. He quit. Well, he quit. Did he quit?

Or did he get the twisties? Or is he a hero? He might have gotten the twisties out there. We don't. Hero. He's had, he's had COVID like seven times. Yeah. And even in Brazil, lead the league in how many COVID infections they can get.

So he might be dealing with some long haul issues himself. It would have been funny if Djokovic said he had mental health issues just to watch people twist and turn, get the twisties online, trying to figure out how his mental health is actually not appropriate. Well, he couldn't say that because I think like 24 hours before he withdrew, he went at Simone Biles. Right. So that would have been a tough turnaround.

He had the twisties in his own takes. I see. I love rooting for Djokovic because I'm a selective Djokovic fan. I just, I don't care about tennis. I don't care for tennis as a sport. So I can just pick and choose when I want to be a fan of his to this week. I'm not a fan of it. I would say that tennis is more of an event.

Yeah. Tennis is a lifestyle, not really a sport. If you could play, if you could play a game till you're like 80, it's not a sport. Yeah. No, if you, if you pick up a sport after you retire, yeah, that's not a sport. That's like the thing they always say, like, hey, take up golf and tennis because you can play it for your whole life. Well, that's not a sport.

It's a leisurely activity. Right. I'm going to get into knitting after I retire. Did you see that? That was pretty cool. Who was it? A swimmer? I think he was a diver, I think, and he was killing the time in between his dives as opposed

like most of the guys, they dive and then they get in the tub. They stand under a shower or they get in the tub. There's a tub too. That looks awesome. I would be a tub guy, but some of these guys are just straight up showering in between each dive. This guy, I think it was from Australia, maybe France, big France or Australia vibes. He just goes up into the stands and starts knitting in between dives.

I say go for it. We need more weirdos like that. If we can't watch Michael Phelps mom wearing like an entire tuxedo of denim, cheering for her son during the pool events, at least show the athletes themselves going into the stands doing weird stuff. Yes. Knitting and doing weird shit. Also, well, I'll give you some spin zones because there are some positive things that

came out of this weekend. One, love is blind is back. Yes. They had the reunion show, which I watched. Fuck Damien. Damien's a piece of shit. Oh, gosh, yeah. Don't do that.

Messika's back. Don't. Okay. In a big way. Okay. Messika just embarrasses herself. You'll enjoy it. Barnett's around.

Okay. The whole crew's there. There's just like one new person. We'll get into it later. We'll watch that and we'll discuss later. But that's good. The Hasbulla fight is probably going to happen, although I just think it's one of those things where they're just going to get closer and closer to fight and have people talk about

it. It's like the Aero Paradox. Hasbulla and the other guy, they're going to get so close, they'll get halfway closer, halfway closer, but their adorable little arms will never be able to reach. Yep. Outer Banks 2 is back. Outer Banks 2 is back. I'm going to binge that this week.

You can't spoil it. You can't spoil something like that. It'd be like spoiling the Mona Lisa. Like you still got to see it in person. NBC realized that their ratings were way, way down for this Olympics. So they hit the break glass in case of emergency button, which is let's get Snoop on a broadcast, which kind of works. There's another who's back for Hank.

What are we doing? We're just doing them all. I'm trying to put a smile on my friend Big Cat's face, Hank. He's had a rough week. All of his heroes left him. Yeah. All right. Let's talk about Aaron Rodgers though, because I did promise I would talk about it.

I spent a whole week ignoring it. The Green Bay Packers are a classless organization by cutting Blake Bortles, but spins are not spin zone, but something you didn't think it would come out of my mouth. I'm defending Aaron Rodgers when he gave his press conference and he explained why he was upset. You just like Aaron Rodgers because he hates the Packers more than you. Correct. So the way he framed the Packers organization, he said Green Bay is no paradise.

He said, these are all his quotes. I think we can all understand, you know, Green Bay isn't a huge vacation destination. People are coming here to play with me, play with our team, knowing that they can win a championship here. And the fact that, well, like go to the NFC championship is what he meant, and the playoffs consistent. Yeah. And the fact that I haven't been used in those discussions was one, I wanted to change

moving forward. So basically the Packers organization have a once in a generation quarterback, a incredibly talented guy, three time MVP. And they're like, yeah, fuck him. We're not going to listen to anything he says. Why would anyone want to play for this organization? I agree with Aaron Rodgers. He also went on to talk about how they mistreated great locker room guys, high character guys.

These are getting his quotes who weren't offered a contract at all or were extremely low bald or maybe in my opinion, not given the respect on the way out, the guys of their status and stature and high character deserve. So I agree. If you're the Packers, you have to give John Kuhn like a Kobe Bryant type contract at the end of his career and be like, thank you for all the service you've put in. Meanwhile, Sean Payton season, he's like, yeah, he doesn't even need to practice during the week.

We'll pay him a million dollars per like month that he's here to just go run into people. The Packers could have done that. All I'm saying is what he said, and these are his words, not mine, make a lot of sense that the Packers, you go to the Packers and they will not treat you well. And Aaron Rodgers laid it all out. And I actually think like it's kind of fair what he said. Nothing he said was that crazy. I do think he's a little bit of a diva, loves the drama, loves to have everyone talking about

what will Aaron Rodgers do. I don't think that his teammates hate him. I think they probably are like, thanks for standing up for us. But I do think that if you're a free agent listening to this show right now, Will Compton, don't you dare go to the Green Bay Packers because they will mistreat you. They will cut you like they did to Blake Bordle. Blake Bordle is just a number to them. Like he, they threw him to the side.

So I don't know, probably least desirable team to play for in the NFL. According to Aaron Rodgers, not me, Aaron Rodgers, I would add that as an owner of the Green Bay Packers. What they're doing right now is against all sorts of SEC violations and rules and regulations as far as stock ownership goes. They have not consulted any of the ownership on any of this. Their general manager. Basically, you can actually take back what Aaron Rodgers is mad about to, I think, three

things. One is he's still pissed that he didn't start immediately when he was drafted. I think he holds like the Brett Farr of yours where Brett Farr was just being a raving lunatic up in Green Bay and Aaron was like, I could be a top five quarterback in the NFL, but they're not playing me. I think he's still pissed about that. I think that he's furious that Jordy Nelson wasn't re-signed. And Charles Woodson.

Jordy was like his best friend. And then yeah, Charles Woodson. And then the third one I was going to say would be Cobb, letting Cobb get away. Cobb is a guy that like every quarterback like Aaron Rodgers would love because he would always just be within five yards of the line of scrimmage at any given point and could always count on him to just jack up his completion percentage. So Aaron was pissed when they let him go, but he's in the Jordan Love the Jordan Love thing.

Absolutely. Because and I understand it. They didn't. The Packers didn't expect him to have an MVP year. They didn't expect him to still be peaking as a quarterback. And so that like he looked at it last year and was like, well, we could have had a wide receiver or someone who could have helped us. Instead we're using a first round pick on a backup, which makes sense.

So what level of say do you think Aaron Rodgers should get in terms like right now if you're if you're trying to decide what to do for the future of the Packers and you're thinking like, should I give a massive contract to a free agent? How many more years does Aaron Rodgers get to be general manager? So sports are obviously so different now than they were 20 years ago, 10 years ago in the NBA and the NFL, it is kind of the NBA has had it. The NBA has had their like reckoning where it's like, Hey, your star kind of runs your team and you have to do what they want to do to keep them happy.

The NFL hasn't gotten there because bigger rosters, it's more of a team sport. But I do think the quarterback position and there's only a few guys, but there are a few guys that an organization should absolutely listen to what they want to do. And it's pretty much Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and probably Russell Wilson, like those are the guys right now. And you know, there's guys that could be that, you know, you could you could be in a situation where Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, some of these guys who are ascending. But right now there's a few guys that if you were running an organization and you're the

general manager, you don't have to listen to them all the time. But one of your top like checklists that you check off every day is is my generational talent, quarterback, top five guy who wins us games and, and, and makes me look better than I am at my job. Cause let's be honest, those guys make you look better. Like week in, week out, year in, year out. Is that guy happy? That should be your like one of your top things you check off every single day.

And the Packers clearly haven't been doing that. I think that Ben Roslisberger was one of those guys, but in like an opposite version of what Aaron Rodgers wants, it was like Ben finding a guy that he doesn't want to still be in Pittsburgh next year. And then they would get moved out of town. Now I don't want to make this hank about the Patriots, but it is, it does kind of put into perspective how crazy it is that Belichick and Brady got along for so long and like how they made that work because you can see, you know, obviously Aaron Rodgers are still on

the Packers, but these things happen and it's hard to manage egos. It's hard to manage talent. And I do think that your quarterback is, is the one guy, if you have that type of quarterback that you should listen to him. I don't know. Your comments on, on the Brady analogy. I agree. It is like they, it probably could have fallen apart many times before that and it did kind

of fall apart at the end. And obviously, yeah. And obviously Rodgers have been with the Packers for a long time. So it's not like it's, it's not like they haven't been able to keep it together, but it does feel like this. It feels like a lot of tension with Garoppolo once he got out of town, they, they got it back together. But there was definitely a similar thing going on when they drafted Garoppolo and then like

inside the organization. Honestly, they wanted, you know, they wanted to play Jimmy. If I were the GM of one of these teams, I would listen to the quarterback and just be like, yeah, it was his idea. And like, if he fucks up, it's like, all right, well, it was your idea. Like, what do you want me to say? Everybody in the media will be like, yeah, that guy's a diva. Yeah.

And so you totally skate by. Yeah. No, you're right. There are two things that, that a general manager can do to extend his time. One is drafting a quarterback. Yeah. And the other is then placing all the blame on that quarterback that he drafted. Now I, I, I still hate Aaron Rodgers so much for, for just going through this charade

because he's got the man bun now. Well, yeah, the man bun, but he, he, he put me through a, I'll call it a, but what if, because I knew he was going to be on the Packers. Like I knew it, but deep down I'd have conversations and I'd be like, but what if, what if he does retire? And that was stupid. That was a stupid thought to have in my brain, but it was there. It existed.

I'm coming clean with that right now. British fans can roast me for even entertaining that thought, but it was a reality. I had those little like day, like I'd be daydreaming in the middle of fucking, I don't know, April or May and be like, well, what if Aaron Rodgers is going to retire? And I hate that he did that. We'll really see how deep his convictions lie. Is Aaron Rodgers a man of principle or is Aaron Rodgers going to be swayed by just nice words and platitudes from his bosses because big cat, if he is actually a man that believes

what he says, he certainly acts like he believes what he says right now. He's saying it with his chest. He's going to retire in the middle of the season before a game against the division rival to inflict maximum pain upon the Green Bay Packers. So Aaron, I would suggest maybe quitting before a game against the Bears. Maybe the day of a game against the Bears. I do think that this will be either the last or second to last season for Aaron Rodgers. I know that's not saying anything crazy, but I don't think they're going to do like some

big deal. So that is because apparently the way that he was able to be like, all right, I'm comfortable coming back as they ripped up his third year. So 2023 is now no longer exists for him where he can now go wherever he wants. And that's, that would make sense. They drafted Jordan Love. They're hoping that he's their future quarterback. I'm just, you just didn't have to do it this way, Aaron.

I really didn't have to do it. Think about the people that you hurt along the way, myself mostly. I also think that, that what Aaron's trying to do is like, there's still a possibility of a sign in trade. So you can still maybe think, don't do that. No, stop, stop. Because the way that he re-engineered his contract, if you look at it, was to make it easier to do a sign in trade.

So there's still interest in Denver from what I've been telling, I've been hearing behind the scenes. Denver wants. Stop it. I'm serious. Denver wants Aaron Rodgers on their team this year, but this will be the last year for Aaron because I think what he wants to do is he wants to do a sign trade next year. He wants to go someplace for a one-year contract and then be a mercenary year to year and then

just go ring chasing all across. Maybe another like four years after that playing for various teams. I think he's going to be a one-year deal kind of guy. And now he's going to play with a chip on his shoulder and he's going to do that whole fucking thing and the whole fuck you tour and he is absolutely one of those guys that like need the chip on his shoulder and when he does it, he plays that much better. So fuck everything. That doesn't actually make that much sense to me for him to have a chip on his shoulder

and be like, I'll show these assholes at the Green Bay Packers. I'm going to win a Super Bowl. He's going to know he's going to win it and then he's going to be like, I'm going to win. I want it for the fans, not for the front office. And then I'm going to cry. He almost said like, I love the Packers organization, but he goes, I love the Packers. I saw that. I love the Packers or the fans.

I love the Packers fans. Yes. All right. Which by the way are the organization in Green Bay if you knew your history here. So he's back was terrible what they did to Blake Portals. That's really, that's what made me flip on Aaron. He knew that this was going to make Blake lose his job. Yeah.

Yeah. It was fucked up. We need Blake Portals in Indy because Carson Wentz, Carson Wentz, what is Carson Wentz? How do you injure his foot? And also why he's not Carson Wentz being like, I'm not going to get surgery. Yeah, dude. This is for sure not going to linger all year and be another issue where it's like, Hey, Carson Wentz, if he were 100, he's going to, he's going to retire and everyone's going

to be talking about that one year that he would have won MVP. Well, I forget what Carson Wentz looks like scrambling around the pocket healthy. Right. It's been so long that he just exists in a permanent state of having a foot injury. So I don't know what, what he's planning on doing, having it just get better on his own. Who's the backup in Indy right now? Is it still Berset?

Is it Jacobi? Yeah. He's probably. Get Blake Portals. Oh, Berset's on the Dolphins. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I remember we talked about that.

People got mad because we said that he's going to look fat in those teal uniforms. He is. He is. That's just a fact. Decent and Sam Elinger. Oh. There we go. There we go.

That's Billy's number one ranked quarterback. Yeah. Sam Elinger. Shout out Texas for making it official. That's going to be fun to watch. It's just college humbly. One thing I don't understand like about the whole college football realignment thing. What did you think was going to happen?

Like Texas, they, they have no loyalty to anyone except for themselves. Correct. And so they were of course going to make happen, whatever they wanted to happen in the first game. The like conferences are just, they're not, they're made up. Yeah. They're completely made up. So you, you can have like SEC pride or you can have big 12 pride.

But at the end of the day, it really doesn't mean anything. Well, I, I'll push back on just the fact that I do, I, it sucks if there's going to be like only two conferences or three conferences because I did like the different like quirks about conferences. I liked that the big 12 didn't play defense. Like I liked that the big 10 plays 10, six games. I don't know. There's things that, that I'm going to miss, but at the end of the day, it's going to be

very interesting to see how this all plays out because they say 2025 and the way it works is big, the big 12 basically is going to try to stay together because if they, if Texas and Oklahoma leave, they have to cut them a check. So it's going to just be like lame duck season after lame duck season, if they can hold on and like force them, otherwise Texas and Oklahoma have to write them a huge check to bounce early. So this is how you can tell that the, the leaders of the conference. I don't want to say that the conferences are all bullshit because I agree, I, I like the regional aspect.

Yeah. I like the SEC planning against each other. I like the callers and the Paul Feinbaum show. Like if, if the SEC becomes half of the nation, I can't have people in like the state of Washington calling into the Paul Feinbaum show. Dude, the big 10 might, the big 10, like the, the move that people are at least saying could happen is the big 10 could poach some of the pack 12 because that would naturally make sense. You know, the, the Rose Bowl and the history there, that would suck too.

That'd be weird. But, but here's how it typically plays out with the commissioners of these conferences. Once they get exposed for really just keeping things strung together with duct tape and string so that they can make a shitload of money. They don't really have any sort of moral or legal recourse to anything. So they just start crying about stuff. Right. So the commission, the big 12 was like, well ESPN is talking to these schools and trying

to get them to go to other conferences. They just start crying and hoping to get public sentiment on their side, which is never going to happen because your job is literally made up. Right. And Greg Sanky, the SEC commissioner just like basically owns everyone. Yeah. He's the alpha in the room. He's just got his balls constantly on somebody else's table.

He even got Texas A&M to vote for it. Right. Like he just walked, he walked, he got him on the phone was like, are you guys really going to complain? Do you want to, you want to piss away this fucking $300 million that ESPN is paying for one game on Saturday? Go ahead, complain. Do you like money?

Yeah. Right. Do you want more money? If all this means that we're going to get the big and rich song at the start of college game day, you can realign the conferences however you want. It's going to be, I'm just sad. I am sad. Especially like Oklahoma, like Bedlam is one of my favorite games every year.

Yeah. Like all that shit. When you lose that, it does. Like I love when Texas will lose to Kansas State and that'll be hilarious. Like that's not going to happen anymore. Like Bedlam taking the over and Bedlam was one of the annual things you could set your watch to. This is how much I miss watching football and television.

This morning I was just watching YouTube compilations of people narrating the wild 2007 NCAA football season where, and then they show the Bedlam game and when I say that the sky is darker and still water at night than anywhere else in America, I would, it took my breath away to see how black that sky was. And I'm going to miss that game. Yes. So hopefully they keep it for at least a couple more years. It'll be fun to watch them like just, it's going to be fun to watch Texas and Oklahoma

just begrudgingly keep playing in the big 12 for at least a year or two. All right. Before we get to some other stuff, we got Olympics. We also have Hanks, whatever happened to him today. Do you want to discuss that in some water dogs talk? Meundies. Meundies are designed to be the softest thing on, dare we say it, did we score? Nope.

That's not real. No, it's very real. I think you so, you know, big cat, to be fair to Hank, in his tweet, he said, I miss my flight because of alcohol and time zones. I feel like alcohol was doing most of the heavy lifting. Yeah. Because that's I was thinking about it. There was time zones fault, but you were in Nashville for a weekend.

When you look at your phone, it shows you what time the flight is. Well, this is what happened, Daniel. Okay. Oh, shit. All right. Here we go. All right, Henry. No, I mean, you're right.

That's I 100% should have just maybe checked my phone. But where's my book of flights on Thursday? My flight there was at 11 o'clock. My flight home was at 11 o'clock and I thought that was a fun little fact. I was telling my friend like, oh, 11 and 11. And then I did not check my phone or look for the confirmation or anything. And then he was driving me there today. He's like, did you check in?

I was like, I should do that. I'm going to check in. And I realized it was 11 o'clock Eastern, but 10 o'clock central. But then at the time it was 10 o'clock. So I basically showed up as the plane was boarding. Okay. But when when you buy the flight, it shows you the time in that time zone. No.

Yes. Yes. And on. Yeah. And always. Honest. You know, I promise. And on your confirmation, it says the time.

In my Google calendar. In my Google calendar. That's what I was going on. Oh. Okay. Well, that's different. Like you, the flight, they show it to you. They don't say like, hey, you got to figure out your own time zone here.

I love Hank's reason is like I'm too organized and I was using my Google calendar that I use for everything. But look, I just texted you the screenshot. It says flight to Newark 1115. Right. But you, but when you buy the flight, it says the time. And you get an email. I bought the flight like a long time ago, but even when you saw the flight, when you

see in your email, I use Google calendar as you, as you see on that Google calendar notification, it says 1115. So yeah, it was obviously a mistake and absolute. That's crazy. An absolute nightmare situation. That was like a huge storm in Nashville last night. So I guess they canceled a shit ton of flights. So everything was completely overbooked.

They made Hank's flight earlier because of all the cancellation. It was, it was, it was a throwback. I felt like, I felt like, I felt like Billy, to be honest, this is, this is, this is like what I used to do when I was 22. I also lost my wallet. I didn't mention that. Wow. Yeah.

No, it was, it was a throwback. Well, I told you, we talked about this beforehand, but like I was, there was a moment this afternoon where I was taking care of my two year old and my two month old and Hank called me and was like, Hey, I'm about to miss my flight. And I was like, so I have a 27 year old too that I'm taking care of. I was like, what is going on right now? But you got it. You got back.

Right. So I didn't tell you guys this. I did literally, obviously went out Thursday, Friday, Saturday, bunch of bars, bunch of places. Last bar on Saturday, I fucking left my wallet there. It's like a speakeasy that doesn't open till six o'clock. They ended up having it. So that, that like gave me some relief.

I had a lot of anxiety today, but I had to go through with like, and do the whole like, yeah, I had to take the SATs and the guy basically was telling me he's like, I was like, is there a chance I'm not going to get through? He's like, if you answer any of these questions wrong, like, there's nothing we can do. And I was like, Oh my God, Hank, you should get, you should get clear. It's life changing. No, I have clear, but you need a. John Rossi.

Wow. That's clear as TSA pre-check on steroids, TSA pre-check is life altering. So this is life altering on steroids. According to him, clear is on top of that. It is. So if we're, if we're doing the, the meme where it's just like the small brain going through security, expanded brain, TSA pre-check, galaxy brain, correct. No, clear is a total like clear.

I have both and clear. You just get to cut the TSA pre-check line. So they just need a clear plus where I can cut the clear line. It's that one thing I've noticed about clear is that when you, when you're in line and then the person comes up to you and they're like, Hey, you want to skip this line with clear? Everybody immediately says no to them because they're like salesperson alarm goes off in their head that like this person's trying to sell me something.

But at the end of the day, you're paying like, I don't know, $70 a year. Yeah. I say, fuck you to the people in TSA pre-check, which is well worth it. No, they have the same energy as the guy at the, at the stadium who's like, Hey, sign up for this credit card and you get a free blanket. Dude, I've actually done that many times. Of course you have. I bought, I, I signed up for like six master cards at Washington football team practices

in the day. Uh, so Hank, good job getting back. Wait, what were the questions that they asked you? Uh, like what state was your social security card issued? And they asked me, they're go, give us a landmark near address. I literally just moved and the guy had told me like, if you get something wrong, like there's nothing I can do. And I was like, literally froze.

I think they're just asking station. They're really just asking for you to, to answer it, uh, without hesitation. Like you could have answered anything. He wouldn't have. No, right? So my, my last one was, what was your, um, your last one, not, not the one before that. No, no, no. The last question.

Oh, okay. I was confused. No, no, no, no, the guy, it was, uh, what's, uh, your mom's date of birth. And I was like, I fuck, no, no guy next to him who saved my life. And he looked at the other guy and was like, come on, who the fuck knows that? So Hank, you don't have your wallet on you currently? Nope. Does this mean that the Titans are going to win a Super Bowl?

I could. Yeah. Very well. We've got some wallet history documented on the show. True. But yeah, uh, I do, you know, credit to me, I vacation so hard that I never wanted a vacation again. So there you go.

That's how you vacation. But by the way, you'll get over that, you'll be, yeah, you'll be back. Yeah, we'll see. Yeah. The weather's nice. Um, all right. So, uh, let's talk a little water dogs. They're number one in the league.

Are we still number one in the league? Oh, we're not. We're basically number. We're the team that nobody wants to play right now. I would say the red hot water dogs. Yes. Yes. So it sucks that we can't make fun of them anymore.

Jake was on the cock. He was calling the games on Saturday night and Sunday morning, which was a weather delay related. Uh, how'd it go? Give yourself a great. Um, I'm going to go with B plus. Oh, okay. I would have said a minus.

No, it's okay. I liked, I liked that because you're saying that there's room for improvement. Always room for improvement. I did not notice any, um, any noticeable mistakes. I did see some people saying that your collar was messed up, but the cut, that's fake. The collar is perfectly normal. Find a new slant.

What was your, uh, mom's review? I mean, come on. Well, yeah, just give it to me. Eight plus. Okay. All right. So where, where is your room for improvement? What did you screw up?

Um, I need to control my excitement level. Obviously it was great. Like people love that about me, but. Game winning goals in the fourth quarter shouldn't have the same peak as a goal in the first quarter that makes it four to two. Yes. I, yes, I know that it's got to work on it. Yeah, I kind of disagree when it comes to lacrosse.

Like you should not at any point be underselling the sport of lacrosse. We're trying to grow the game over here, Jake. So I thought that you're the excitement level that you brought, but get your muffs. It was kind of Gus Johnson like in a good way. Uh, well, I'm fine with that. Did you see the Gus Johnson news? No.

Him and a kid, a kid, Tali are doing a game just here together. What was that accent? Awesome. That was, that was like your own G. Honey, but no, again, my Gus Johnson, my Gus Johnson thing is a football only football. No, but like, again, that's a good problem to have, I feel like, because it's going to be over the top and enthusiastic than being boring.

Yes. I would actually say that like the water dogs looked like they were playing harder for you. Yeah. That third quarter, that run was awesome. It was like the warrior. I saw watching. Yes.

It was awesome. Yeah. You were also, I noticed you were very, you were smooth in announcing the two pointers, like even though it was your first time announcing lacrosse, you were all on top of that. If so, yeah, sorry, of course. Come on. Syracuse pays their players.

When, when they were winding up to shoot, you'd be like, and here's for a deuce. Yeah, it's very natural. I like it. And the hit, the pipe was great. When it clanks off of the pipe, it's electric. The half of the pipe. Yeah.

Half of the pipe. Yeah. The first half of the first game. Also, they should soak the net when it doesn't rain. Oh, yes. It's really cool. It's like a boxer. Yeah.

You hit in the face. Yeah. They should just do that when it's hot out. I like that. I like that. Um, did you swear? No, okay. Well, you did a good job.

We, we, I think everyone, I speak on behalf of the AWLs. I think everyone enjoyed it. We guys were fantastic. Yeah. It was a lot of fun. I really appreciate it. Um, I, you know, lacrosse still not my thing. It's exciting.

Yeah. I'm not, I'm not a huge fan of lacrosse. You know what I am a massive fan of is winning in winners. Yeah. And right now the dogs are winners. Dude, I love the dogs right now. All, all, all of our guys are dogs. So congrats to them.

Oh, USA. We suck. This is the woodwork. Okay. Um, one other thing I just wanted to say, I, I did tweet that it was, it was Sui season earlier when I was down bad and Liam retweeted it. So I don't know what that was about. What's Sui?

Suicide. Oh, oh, oh, oh, shit. I, I thought of it. I thought you know, you can say that to us. I thought it was, yeah, but it was still like, I mean, yeah, it was Sui season. I thought it was like some, yeah, smash that retweet. I, I, I read it as SUI, like, you know, like a DUI or BUI boating, you know,

like I, I was like, what is he doing? But okay. Sui, Sui, Sui, did you have any issues getting out of Denver? Given the time zone discrepancy between Colorado, it's in the south. Yes. In the south with the two hours west, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Um, I actually had a time zone, I'm watching the game. I put it on the wrong time.

You just don't, well, our time zone expert doesn't suit us, right? So we don't have them anymore. No, I made the airport fine. Um, I was actually, because I had to change, I was supposed to come back this morning, Sunday morning. They put me on a red eye tonight. Oh, but during the fourth quarter of the lady who books the travel, she's like a seat opened up at two 15 p.m.

Fuck yes. So I was like, look at the commitment from the boys to get back. Love it. We made it. It's good to have everyone back. Thank you to everybody. Same situation, basically. Yeah, same exact.

Um, Billy's here too. Yeah, Billy's here too. He did play handball this weekend. You want to give a quick recap? Video coming out soon. It was pretty awesome. All right, there it is. There it is.

Uh, did anyone watch F1 today? I saw some of the, some of the highlights. It was sick. The first turn, they need to do that on more courses. Just have the first turn be basically Sui season. Mercedes, Mercedes essentially a strategy now is just take out Red Bull at all times, which is sick. And then, uh, yeah, Lewis Hamilton, Sir Lewis Hamilton is the goat.

And I'm sorry for disrespecting. I saw Lance Stroll put up a result today too. He got knocked out as well. No, I thought, I thought he got points. No, I'm pretty sure Williams got points. Yeah, he's got points. I thought both got points. I think you're still on season one.

Lance Stroll got knocked out in the big crash and the big one. Oh, I'm pretty sure. Okay. I thought, I thought both Williams guys ended up with points, but I did see that Sebastian Vettel got disqualified. He after the fact. Yeah. So people think that, um, so it feels like a witch hunt to me and stroll.

Yeah. Lance Stroll did not, uh, Lance Stroll did not finish. So yeah, he was, uh, yeah, no. So he, there's a rule that you have to have your, your fuel. You have to have enough fuel at the end of the race to get it tested. He didn't have enough fuel, but it's also one of those rules. It's like it could either, it's a judgment call. What the conspiracy theorists think is that, uh, Vettel was wearing a support

of gay pride during the national anthem cause hungry just enacted a law against like a very homophobic law and he said, like, I don't care. Like you, if they want to reprimand me, they can. I think that's, so that's what they think that might be because that sounds like viral marketing for still water coming out. That's, that's, yeah. Matt Damon, who just don't talk to his excuse. I loved his excuse, which was like, I'm from Boston, like such a ricochet

shot at the entire city. He reminded me of like when Paul George gets in front of a mic and it's just like, you're sharing too much right now. Stop talking. All right. So, so back to Sebastian Vettel because I'm trying to understand, it seems to me that in motor sports, if you time out your labs exactly perfectly where you run out of fuel at the very end, that's usually a good thing, right?

Yeah, but it, it was just not even a leader, I think they need. It's like when they ask, when they ask for a piss test, right? If you're getting drug tests and you're like, I can't give it up and it only covers the bottom, right? That's what, so what are they saying? You could, you could put something in your fuel. I don't know. I don't know.

That one is, it feels like a witch hunt. Yeah. It feels like a witch hunt. Feels like that shirt is what did them in. Um, all right. Should we do who's back? Who's back is brought to you by our friends at the cash app. The cash app is always back buying Bitcoin is back playing stock market is back.

Hasbulla, Snoop Dogg, uh, and the 2017, 2017 Celtics are apparently going to be back. Oh, I thought I was, I thought I was getting tricked or I thought someone retweeted an old tweet on my timeline, uh, it was from NBA central, which I wasn't sure if it was confirmed or not, but it was Jeff Green is reportedly a primary

target for the Celtics. Boston could also show interest in Kelly Olinik and Avery Bradley. So Brad Stevens is just back together. Running it back for a coach, I guess. I would say getting Jeff Greenback is a good sign, right? Because it's like him and Jay Crowder are always in the playoffs. Yeah. I guess.

Yeah. I mean, he's like a dinosaur at this point. He wasn't even, you know, I am a little jealous of you two or two or three times. That you like time traveled this weekend. Yeah. Cause like you walked in and you're like, we got a lot of NBA like Westbrook. It's like, yeah, that was Friday's show. And, but it was like, I'm jealous of you.

Yeah. Yeah. Nothing like just like time traveling with your brain. Catching up. Yeah. Yeah. All right. PFT.

Who's your who's back? Well, Hank took all mine. So, uh, not Chinese Taipei is back. Oh, we hear about Chinese Taipei once every four years during the Olympics because they, uh, China has the Olympic committee, the IOC and by proxy, all the broadcast partners by the balls. And so they're not allowed to say Taiwan on the broadcast because if you call the country, Taiwan, it implies that it's a country and not property of the

people's Republic of China, which it's one of the fascinating little like this leagues going back and forth is China claims Taiwan. So they call it Chinese Taipei. Like it's a district. Taiwan claims that they own China and Taiwan calls themselves the Republic of China. I like that. And so it's always like, which way are they going to go?

But since it's the Olympic committee and it's NBC, they're referring to it as Chinese Taipei, which isn't really a country. Um, but it's always nice to see that pop up. It's like when, when ESPN drew the seven dotted line around the South China Sea, right, for the games that were over there, just gave them property of all this water. Yeah. That's, that's essentially what NBC is doing, like weighing into foreign relations.

I like it. I like it. Yeah. The, the different, I mean, I, I still keep seeing like the ROC is just with no flag is always funny. Rock nation, rock nation. Um, my who's back is, is rowdy gains, uh, because he, we get reminded every four years, the best announcer in all sports, rowdy gains for swimming who just, I,

is there a difference between him and Scott Hamilton? They're the same guy, right? Same guy. Yeah. One does figure skating. One does swimming. Johnny Weir guy. Yeah.

But, uh, he's awesome. He's electric and, uh, Caleb Dressel, who has the coolest tattoos, really he's just hot, uh, and has an awesome body, but swimming, what? The Olympic tattoo. No, he's got forums. He's got like an eagle and it's like a whole fun and a gator. His whole sleeve is sick. How do you feel about the Olympic tattoo?

I mean, that's just, everyone gets it. That's so chuggy. I actually kind of, I want to get an Olympic tattoo and then people would just actually know him. You don't see me and they're like, no chance in hell this guy. Yeah. That's, it's so chuggy to get the Olympic tattoo if you're an Olympian. But yeah, rowdy gains.

And then, did you know, this is a fun fact that we got to start flexing on people. Uh, the U S has never lost the 100 meter medley. 15 in a row dominated the only time we haven't won it was 1981. We didn't go to the Olympics. So 15 for 15 in, in, uh, uh, 100 meter medley and swimming. That's pretty good. Yeah. They also forearm tattoo on the guy that won the 100 meter dash this year.

Forum tattoos make you faster. Yes. Absolutely. The Italian. So, uh, the Olympics are still going on. I don't really, I'm kind of, I'm kind of over the Olympics. Uh, I, no, I still got Olympic fever. It's a mild fever at this point.

It's dissipated a little bit. Yeah. Mine's been fixed. It's a dissipating a little. You got the antibodies. It's just the time zones have just killed me. Yeah. Time zones are tough.

Yeah. I just, yeah. Time zones are brutal. Um, one thing I do want, Billy, can you do me a favor? Can you blog this this week? Uh, I noticed that the guy that, that won the 100 meter dash had never broken 10 seconds until like three, four months ago. Interesting.

I just thought it was interesting to note that and how, uh, he, I don't think he was even a short distance sprinter until like the last year. So he was running like 10.05, 10.1s. He wouldn't even qualify with as fast as time as recently as six months ago. And then he won the entire Olympics. So I just thought that was an interesting thing that maybe you could write a blog about. I'll look into it.

All right. Also, we got our best guy on it. Yeah. Also, we had some journalism on journalism crime. Uh, Andy McCullough, who I think he writes for the athletic, he was mocking, uh, the, the Olympic journalists because one of them wrote about the bathrooms in Japan, but that's the journalism I want. Yes.

So the, the, the quote that he, that he tweeted out, uh, generally speaking, public restrooms here are much cleaner than they are in the United States and using them as significantly more comfortable. The restrooms at the Olympic stadium elevate the experience to another level as they offer maximum privacy, not only is the bottom of the door on each stall, only an inch or so off the ground, sitting on the toilet activates a recording of running water and chirping birds that is intended to drown out any embarrassing sounds that fucking rules.

That's amazing. Yeah. Also sounds like a great bathroom. If you're the offensive line coach of the Miami Dolphin. Yes. Yes. What was his name? Maximum privacy and loud noises.

I don't know. Duh. Fuck. What was his name? What was his name? Mr. Columbia, Chris Forster, Chris Forster, Chris Forster. Yes.

Um, he booked a flight to Japan ASAP. I, that, I don't know why that guy was making fun of that. That's fucking awesome. Journalist that is, that's what journalism is. Is like, remember when it was in Russia and there were like waves of reports that would come out the first wave would be all the reporters that went over there. And they'd be like, my phone was hacked within the first five minutes of landing in Russia.

Right. And then the second wave was I'm in, uh, the hotel and there's a wolf walking through the hallway. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck Jamie Kimmel for that. I believed it. Uh, Jake, you're who's back.

Duke basketball is back. Oh, last four days. Yes. They have secured two top 20 recruits for next year. All right, Billy, who's your who's back? Fuck. Yes. Fred Durst.

Okay. Yeah. He's got a new look. Looks like a basketball coach from the 80s. Yeah. I think he looks like if Fred Durst was playing Jimmy Carter in a biopic. It's, it's very bizarre. I don't really understand.

I hair, Fumanchu. So I, I think I completely understand it because I was, I was telling somebody about this picture on Thursday night and I was describing how hilarious Fred Durst looks on Instagram and I was like, I have to go see Limp Bizkit perform because I need to see him perform live looking like this. And as those words came out of my mouth, I was like, you played me like a fiddle, Fred. He dated all his Instagram posts.

I think he's wearing a wig. Well, he's at Lala. Yeah. And now they're going on tour. And so he wants people to like talk about his new look and buy tickets. He played me like a fucking fiddle and it worked. But guess what? I'm going to go see Limp Bizkit.

Excuse me. Um, yeah. No, he, he, that was smart by Fred Durst. Also Lala being back and like, listen, I'm not going to get into the whole Delta variant shit, but you got to be a tremendous loser. If you're just tweeting out like, what's the new string going to be? Look at all these people at Lala. You're just basically saying you'll never have fun again in your life.

You're, you're rooting for bad things. Yeah. You're, you're like, I'm going to sit at home and everyone's going to go live their life and do awesome, fun shit. And I'm just going to hope for them all to die so that I can be like, told you so fucking losers. Uh, okay. Peyton Manning.

Oh, oh, also who's back. It looks like the US, US is still winning. Zero, zero in the 71st minute. There's someone's dead on the. There's been a booking. There's been a booking on the pitch. My guess is going to get up right away. US is going to win, uh, Dosa, Sarah, uh, that should be a red card.

That should be a card. High cleat in the head. Okay. Quick word about Peyton Manning. So we have Peyton Manning on. We only were allowed 20 minutes. Uh, we obviously could have done an hour and a half with Peyton Manning. We take these type of interviews for the AWLs because one, 20 minutes of

Peyton Manning is better than zero minutes of Peyton Manning. And two, we hope that it starts a relationship where we can have him back on. So if you're thinking, listening to it like, Oh, why don't you ask this? Well, we had 20 minutes. Still, I think it was an awesome interview. We got all of our efficient questions out there, but that's just a little backstory. So you're not like, how could you not mention this?

How could you not mention that? We had to do like, you know, as, as tight as we could get it. So, but it's an awesome interview. And hopefully we have him back on for an hour next time. And you don't want to interrupt him as he's answering a question to ask whatever the next thing that you want to ask is. Right. So yeah, I, yes, you're right.

I think hopefully we'll have him back on, but he was still a great interview. Great interview. Good dude to talk to. All right. Before we do that, PFT. Yeah. Before we get into Peyton Manning, guess what time of year it is. It's time to start thinking about going back to live sports.

Here he is. Peyton Manning. Okay. We now welcome on a very, very, very special guest. It is Hall of Famer, two-time Super Bowl winner. One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Peyton Manning, the sheriff, uh, I, I can't believe that you're on this show. We, it's, it's hard for us to be like, wow, we'll drop everything for this guy.

You are one of those guys. Uh, I guess we'll start the pro football hall of fame. Obviously you're being inducted this year. They still are selling tickets. If you go to pro football, hall of fame.com, I watched the video. We had David Baker on the show. Uh, you, were you really surprised? I mean, you've been a Hall of Famer for like 20 years now.

So were you surprised when you actually got the, the official, hey, Peyton, you're in the hall of fame. It's happening this year. Well, I was surprised because of the way that I found out, you know, normally, uh, they do that knock on the door the night before the super bowl. And, um, this year because of COVID that didn't exist. And so I was at the Broncos stadium. I was doing a kind of a PSA recording, uh, on camera.

And then my wife Ashley kind of organized out from behind me, walked, uh, Tony Dungey, uh, my two college coaches, Phillip Fulmer and David Cuckliffe, uh, Gary Kubiak, our coach with the Broncos, uh, Jim Caldwell, uh, long time coach with the Colts with me, and they walked up behind me to kind of share the news with me. And so from that standpoint, I was surprised to find out that way. And I got to tell you, it was one of the coolest moments I've had because right there in front of me was, you know, almost 20 plus years of coaching.

Then I turned to the Jumbotron and they had a message from my high school coach from Tom Moore, my long, long time office of coordinator, Jim Moore, my head coach, John Fox. Anyway, 30 years of coaching right there in front of me in about six minutes. And so that was a little bit, um, uh, overwhelming and special to find out that way. You know, it's no fun if you just assume something, uh, all the time, right? So it was fun to kind of find out in that fashion.

I'm honored. I'm humbled all of those things. And I'm looking forward to celebrate with a lot of old teammates and coaches in a couple of weeks in Ohio. Yeah. So, uh, I mean, you had to know that this weekend was coming up for a long time. I'm curious to know, like, did anybody ask you to go on a vacation or was it, were you asked to take any trips or anything like that for the weekend of, uh,

of August 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th, and how far in advance did you have to like keep those dates available on your calendar? Cause you had to know. Well, uh, my family and I were supposed to go to the Olympics last year in Tokyo. And, uh, somehow, uh, we got our money back from our flights and all of the, uh, places that we were booked to stay, which was surprising, but we got it back and they said, Hey, but you're all set to go next year, uh, uh, August of 2021. And I just kind of said, I'm not sure I can totally commit at this point.

Obviously no fans ended up going at all to Tokyo, but, uh, I did, I guess, somewhat have the dates held just in case we got some good news, uh, in early February. So hall of fame career, uh, there's a lot of things that you're known for. One of them is definitely your preparation and how you prepared every game week and how you were one of the most prepared guys, uh, later in your career, remember the picture of you listening to practice while you were in the cold tub, might've been the hot tub with the helmet on.

Now, tell us the truth. Was it, did you always feel like you prepared more than anyone else in the room? Because like, were you really the guy that felt like, Hey, no one else is ever going to prepare more than me when it comes to week to week? Well, you know, I think we're all looking to get an edge, uh, out there. Somehow you guys are trying to get an edge on the competition by doing things in your style. For me, you know, I, I came to the realization that I couldn't out throw

anybody, right? I couldn't throw it 85 yards down the field, like, like a red farb or like a Randall Cunningham, uh, couldn't, uh, outrun anybody. Clearly, if you've ever seen me play, you realize that I had a coach tell me once that I couldn't run out of sight in a week. It's a very nice compliment. I really appreciated that, but, um, he was right. And so I realized that to get an edge, I had to try to out prepare anybody.

And whether I was working harder than anybody else in the room, I'm not sure if that was true, but I told myself that I was, and the main people I was trying to outwork was our opponent. So when I got under center on Friday night in high school, Saturday afternoon in Knoxville or Sunday with the culture, the Broncos, I said, Hey, I've outworked these guys that I'm playing against. It gave me confidence to kind of go full speed ahead. So, um, preparation is where I felt I could get an edge, um, uh, staying in

great shape physically, working with my teammates to get on the same page, studying tons of film. So when I got up there on Sunday, I told myself, I've seen this defense before. I know what's going to happen here. I was watching this defense on Wednesday night, uh, in my basement in my film room. And, uh, that's kind of how I played the game. Did that ever make it, uh, this might be a dumb question, but, uh, feel free to just call us idiots if we're asking anything too stupid.

But if it did that type of preparation ever work against you a little bit to the point where if you saw a look that you had never seen before from an opponent and you'd spent, you know, all this time preparing for certain things, they throw something wild at you. And then at that point, you're trying to figure out what it is instead of just reacting to it in the, in the moment. Right. No, uh, you certainly realized that, um, a team is going to probably give you

something new that you hadn't seen before. I remember Tony Dungey, uh, you know, it's kind of like Abraham Lincoln. Like could never tell a lie. Right. And so they asked coach Dungey, Hey, you know, what would you do if you were playing defense against Peyton? And you kind of think he'd say, Hey, you know, I'm his head coach. I'm not going to answer that instead.

He's like, Oh no, you've got to mix it up every single play. You can't play the same defense. Two plays in a row. He will, you alive. I'm like, coach, what are you doing? He's like, well, it's true. It's true. I mean, you know, like, like, you know, mix it up every single play.

And so defense is like started listening. And so on first down, they play this defense, second down, something totally different, third down, they bring in some guys for third down only played entirely new defense. And so I guess he was just challenging his players. But, um, um, as the word got out that we did a lot of no huddle that we called a lot of plays at the line of scrimmage, defenses started doing more disguising before the snap, waiting to the last few seconds.

And so I don't think you can over prepare. I think you can, uh, at some point say, Hey, I've seen enough film, the haze and the barn, it's time to go out and play and react. Like you said, to what the defense is doing, knowing that they're studying the film as well, and they're going to have some different wrinkles. But I guess my biggest fear was in all the years I was playing, I remember at one time in my, uh, like my third NFL season, we played a team and we hit them with a blitz in the fourth quarter and the quarterback for the other team came

out and said, yeah, that was a new blitz, um, uh, uh, uh, that the coach just put in and he was wrong. We had run that blitz, but we'd run into preseason earlier that year and he had not gone back that far to watch that film. And I just remember saying that is not going to happen to me. They are not going to hit me with a blitz that they have shown before during the season, because I'm going to have watched that. Now they have something totally new to come up with that's fair game.

But I think that's kind of where that film preparation came from. Uh, so talking about your legacy, I don't know if you, you probably do realize this, but one part of your legacy, uh, is that you give hope to every team that drafts a quarterback that throws a bunch of interceptions their rookie year. Not everyone is Peyton Manning, but your rookie year, you threw 28 interceptions. I don't know if you realize this, but every, that comes up constantly where it's like, well, look at Peyton Manning's rookie year, even though you were,

everyone kind of figured you were going to figure it out. But, uh, was that rookie year? Like, was it just, was it was the step up just that much more difficult? And do you realize that you have given every fan base hope whenever they're, you know, high draft pick stinks right away. And they're like, well, maybe he'll be Peyton Manning. Yeah, I would like to get that one off my resume. Uh, I appreciate you guys not mentioning that in that nice intro that you

had those other accolades, but if Trevor Lawrence wants to break that this year, I am for it. Um, and the truth is, there's a number of quarterbacks that would have broken it, including my brother, Eli, but you've got to be a 16 game starter to do it. Right. And so like Eli, like they made him wait 10 games. They finally put them in. He got off to a hot start.

We only had six games. You know, you can't throw 28 and six games. And now these quarterbacks, if they struggle early, what do they do? They take them out, they get them out of the game. I go, no, no, no, leave him in there. Let learn. Okay. That's the only way to break this record.

And so, um, yeah, you know, um, I was asking, um, we have a football camp in Louisiana for high school quarterbacks and receivers and we have college players come in and serve as counselors. So Eli and I were doing a little Q and A with the college players and they were kind of saying, what was one, uh, thing if you could do over again as a rookie, what would it be? And I think my answer was to don't, don't under-respect the NFL, but don't over-respect it as well.

Um, I think I gave it too much respect as to how fast everybody was, how big they were going to be, and I just played so fast. I sped my game up, my feet were moving a thousand miles an hour. I was making these quick decisions without actually reading the coverage. And I think there's a fine line between, look, they're going to be bigger, they're going to be faster, but they're still doing a lot of the same things that you did in college and find that happy medium. It just took me a long time to find it.

Steve Young told me, uh, uh, during our game against the 49ers that season, he said, Peyton, the game's going to slow down. Eventually trust me, it's going to slow down. And he was exactly right. It just took a little while. It took 28 interceptions, but because I did stay in every game, I learned a lot, uh, about NFL that season and we went from three and 13 to 13 and three. The next year, I don't think that would have happened had I not struggled or

had I not played all 16 games. So I'm a believer in putting those guys in right away, put, uh, Wilson in, put Lawrence in, let them play, let them see how fast these defenses are. They're going to figure it out a lot sooner. It's interesting. You brought up your brother, Eli, cause when we had him on the show, I think, uh, we asked him about, uh, you know, calling out Omaha at the line of scrimmage. I think he took credit for it, didn't he?

He said that he taught you about Omaha. Um, yeah, he said, yeah, I didn't know if that was true or not. I wanted to give you an opportunity to respond though. No, he's true. It's funny. Omaha has kind of been out there for a while. Brady used to say it in New England. Eli said it with the giants.

Uh, it's kind of a term that has been out there. I, you know, nobody really claims who started it. Was it in the, you know, Parcells era that somehow got to, you know, uh, uh, a New England with Brady and then, you know, got to the giant, whatever it, whatever it was, it was out there and I got to Denver and we started saying it there and that was right when they turned those NFL sideline microphones up louder where you, the viewer at home can hear everything that's being said. And all of a sudden Omaha kind of got attributed to me because we were going,

no huddle, we were changing the play a lot. Omaha is something you say, but it's just a few seconds on the clock. You need the ball snap now. It's Omaha and we were doing that all the time. And next thing you know, I mean, I'm getting the key to the city of Omaha. I'm getting delivered to my house, right? Ended up being a pretty, pretty good word to pick, you know, uh, so, uh, Eli is right.

Uh, Omaha was around for a long time before I got to the Broncos. And is the word used just because it's a cool sounding word? That's what I've always thought. Yeah. It's just kind of a rhythmic three syllable word that, uh, that usually meant to, it was like an alert, Hey, there's just two or three seconds on the clock. You know, I need it snapped now. And you know, I think Warren Buffett thought it was named after him.

It was not, you know, probably one of the few things not named after him. Um, and, um, it was no real rhyme or reason, but, uh, now I'm at it. Yeah. Um, I walked through an airport. You know, God, this yells Omaha, I just turn around and wave and, you know, keep walking and I don't even get called by my name anymore. I just get Omaha. That's great.

So we, on this show, we like to mock, uh, traditional sports media and, you know, legacy talk and all these things, you know, that rings matter the most. But your career is very interesting because there was a time where you led sports center all the time is Peyton can't win the big one. You end up winning too. You have a hall of fame career. Like I said at the start, one of the best quarterbacks of all time. But was there ever a moment at the beginning of your career where you're

like, can I not win the big one? Like what's going on here? Well, um, I always believed that we could, um, I always knew we were getting close. And you know, you kind of always ask yourself in the NFL, would you rather go 13 and three and get beat in the AFC championship by a touchdown, or would you rather go eight and eight, you win your last three, you feel pretty good after that last game, but the truth is, uh, you're a pretty bad team, right? You're eight and eight.

You're missing the playoffs. You're going home earlier. Would you rather feel good in the last game and go home early or get your heart ripped out being one game away from the Super Bowl? I'd rather get my heart ripped out as much as it hurts because, because I know we're close and I know we're doing something right. And so we just kind of stayed the course, but no, you're exactly right. I mean, look, um, you know, and I was proud to be in that club because you

talked about some of the all time greats, but you know, to be in there with Dan Marino and, and Carl Malone and John Stockton, you know, these guys that, you know, played a long time and had great careers, you know, that weren't part of the championship team. It wasn't an individual sport. Okay. It wasn't a golfer that had it won a major. These were guys that were on teams that didn't do it.

And so I was always kind of honored to be a part of that club because I love Dan Marino, right? I love John Stockton. And so when we finally won the Super Bowl, you know, a lot of people that were in that club, just abandoned that club. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. You know, always, you know, knew I was going to win a ring, you know,

forget those guys I was with. Like I kind of stayed loyal to that club and I was honored to be a part of the team that won a championship. And I realized just that, that I was fortunate. We had great players, great teammates. We, you know, everything happened at the right time for us, but, uh, um, you know, kind of don't forget where you came from. And so, uh, the NFL is a very humbling, um, uh, sports.

Look, it's so hard to win one game, I think in the NFL. Now you got to win 12 to get into the playoffs and you get in the playoffs. Every game is a seventh game elimination game, right? Basketball, baseball, you can have two off nights and still win the whole thing and probably be the MVP of the whole thing. Football, you better be on that day or else you're going home. That's why I think it's the greatest game. Yeah.

Did you ever, uh, did you ever go back and watch in your throws doing film study, maybe you had a great game, maybe three, you know, four, five, six touchdowns. And you're like, you know what, I would have traded at least one or two of those touchdowns if I could, if the ones that I did throw just had a nice tighter spiral on them. Well, look, I mean, every one of my records is getting, is getting broken. Right. I mean, you know, Brady and Breeze were alternating weeks as to which records

of mine they were going to break, but nobody's thrown more wobbly touchdowns than me. Okay. I mean, the spiral is overrated, right? As long as it gets there, right? And so nobody can throw a wobbly 18 yard comeback route, you know, uh, right on the outside of the player's jersey number, right in the perfect place. It's a hard catch for the receiver because it's coming in different directions,

but it does get there to the right spot. So, um, yeah, I mean, on NFL films, when they put it in slow motion, the wobbly pass, doesn't it look so good? Right. You'd kind of like to tighten that up a little bit, but I guess the end result being a, uh, a, uh, touchdown pass to help your team win a game. I'll take that over the spiral. I actually think it's probably harder to throw an accurate wobbly pass than anyone

can throw a spiral accurately, right? It is. Yeah. And the good thing about the wobbly pass, a lot of dropped interceptions. Okay. Cause there's a reason, you know, a lot of these guys are playing defense, right? They tried to play receiver. They couldn't catch well enough, move them to defense, right?

So now it, you know, a perfect spiral, right? And their hands are going to catch, but a wobbly pass is a good chance. They're going to drop it. So there were some real pluses to it. I just trust me on that. Yeah. So we brought up when your brother was on the Manning face, the fam, famous Manning face.

So his Manning face was whenever they would zoom in, because as you know, the Manning family basically was in our living rooms every Sunday night. It felt like for 20 years. His was his face, his mouth was open. Kind of looking like what the heck is going on. Yours is a little different. Yours was your forehead. Usually had a huge mark on it and it would make it look even bigger.

Did you ever have a moment where you're like, shoot, my helmet was way too tight. Like this is going to look ridiculous when they zoom in on me. Well, I mean, it's such a big forehead. So there's so much room for the camera to zoom in on it, right? It's a big target. So you got that going for you. You know, probably who I blame for the red forehead was like every year you sort of get refitted for your helmet, right?

You know, the makers of Riddell come in and just want to check the helmet. Be sure it still fits. And they would always tell me, Hey, the red forehead, that means the helmet fits just right. I mean, it's tight, it's close to your head. It's going to prevent injuries. It's perfect. And so I would like believe that.

I'm like, okay, I'm going to keep having it tight. You know, it's not tight. It's tight enough though. It leaves the red mark. And so, uh, it kind of became a staple. So, uh, yeah, every like pick that, you know, uh, our team for Tireville would send me up on the sidelines of me looking at the pictures of the, or talking to receivers at this huge red indent on my forehead.

And I just said, you know what, I'm going with it. Um, it's, it's my fifth year in the NFL. I'm not going to change my, uh, change my identity. Yeah. I think sorry to break it to you, but I think the training staff was fucking with you your entire career. Like that's what that sounds like to me. And they did a great job with it.

It's got to be tighter, Peyton. That's back. Yeah. Well, at least you always kept your helmet close to you on the sidelines. Unlike that, uh, that one great video that we have of Brock Osweiler, when he was getting in the game, I, in the fourth quarter of a blowout in Denver, and he had to run to the sidelines to grab his helmet. He didn't have it in his hands.

And you can see you noticing that he's running back to his home. And you're like, you know what, I'm going to stay in this game. And you run out there and you can see the look of exasperation on Brock's face. Like, God damn it, this guy's not even coming out of the game now. Was it, was that your mentality of just like, I'm not going to give Brock Osweiler a chance to take my job? Or did you just love playing? Yeah.

I mean, keep your helmet closed is probably the theme of that. You know, don't get too far away from it, but that's the problem, right? There's cameras everywhere, right? If something happens on the sidelines, the guys picking his nose or he's, you know, talking to the fans, those cameras catch everything now. So, uh, always on display out there on the NFL football field for sure. Yeah. Well, Peyton, this has been awesome.

Uh, next time you have more time, we'd love to do an extended interview with you. We appreciate you coming on. Congrats on the pro football hall of fame, uh, induction. Uh, and, oh, last thing is I, I, I am a ball for life. I want a national title there. Yeah. Uh, wink. If Arch has already committed to Tennessee.

Oh, he just, he just winked. So Arch Manning is going to Tennessee. I'm not a good winker, uh, or a good whistler. So, uh, yeah, uh, can't, no, no inside information on that. I'm his uncle. I'm his godfather. I try to try to fulfill that role and, uh, I hope he has a fun high school experience, but I am excited about my balls.

Um, our ball side coach. And, uh, yeah. So, uh, hopefully we can get it going this year in Knoxville. And it, yeah, I have some fun and win some games. Love it. Okay. Well, thank you so much, Peyton. We appreciate it.

And, uh, good luck with your, your hall of fame induction speech. I'm sure you'll kill it. And, uh, hopefully we, we catch you another time as well. Hey guys, thanks for having me. Appreciate it.

Chevy Silverado is the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever.

I had a friend come to visit me at the beach this weekend. He drove up in his new Chevy Silverado. It is sweet. It is an awesome truck. We sat in it. He showed me all the features. It's got a great bed, great bed liner, great stereo system in there. It's a top of the line truck.

I felt awesome just sitting in it and checking it out. Have you seen the new Chevy Silverado commercial? It's getting a ton of attention. The commercials about the multi flex tailgate, which is awesome. The tailgate has six different configurations. It can become a step. It can be a desk. There's a cargo extender for extra long cargo.

There's an easy access position that helps you reach into the bed. Chevy Silverado is amazing. It is an amazing truck. Check it out. So go down to your Chevy dealership today, whisper part of my take into their ear and they will give you a hundred bucks off, probably. And a free cup of coffee and a free tank of gas. They'll fill up the tank for you.

Get a Chevy Silverado. It is the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever. And here it is, Mount Rushmore season. Okay, let's do it. Mount Rushmore season. We're ready to go. Oh, we didn't even discuss. Let's just real quick.

The cutter and the Italian guy tied for high jump and then they split the gold. I would do the same thing. If given the opportunity to be like, Hey, you can quit now and get a gold medal. That's the best of both worlds for me. But for the people who were like Simone Biles is a quitter, they should be mad about that because this is the most like this is competition and you just tied. Yes. You, you must have ideological consistency on this one.

If you were pissed at Simone, I will be disappointed to hear that you've changed your tune on the high jumpers. Yes. Um, okay. Mount Rushmore. I actually thought that I think it was Billy had a good point about this, which is they, there should only be one medal. Right.

If there's, if they're giving out gold medals, there's no chance that they have like a second gold ready to go in the event that there's a tie, right? I think they do. I think they have a bunch of goals. They're backup goals. I think they, uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure they do. Not my Olympics. They just got, but they should only, they had to share one gold.

Yeah. No, yeah. It should be like half. No, it should be like a paternity thing. Like you get like visitation, like weekends, you get the gold. Either way, I think that they should split one or have it be a gold and a silver that you mixed together into a, a, a, a jillver medal. The gold medal only costs like, I was, I was reading about it.

It's like 600, 700 bucks. Kind of bullshit. She's like 2% gold. I think it's bullshit. Uh, all right. Mount Rushmore of combinations. This one is as open-ended as we've ever had for a Mount Rushmore. Anyone want to do any rules they think, or should we just fucking go for it?

I think we just go full send on it. Okay. I think it's yeah, it can be duos. It can be people. It can be anything, anything. All right. So we're going to do, can be more than two. Yeah.

Sure. Okay. Combination combination. Yeah. Um, all right. So what number Hank? 55. PFT.

69. I'll go 26. 89. Nice. These are not official numbers. 64. Let's go. What did you guys guess?

I guess 69. All right. Okay. So I'll go first. You get to pick your, you get to pick the order. We'll go me, big cat, Jilly, Hank, and then snake it back. Okay. All right.

Does that work? Yep. Let's do it. All right. Here we go. Mount Rushmore of combinations. Wow. Let's go.

Wow. Right off the bat. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. Oh, okay. So a triple. Anybody complain? A triple. Okay.

A triple. I mean, in that order, it's an iconic phrase. Like if fuck Mary kills sex drugs, yeah, yeah, I think fuck. That's a good question. I think I fuck drugs. I think I marry. Oh, wow. I marry fucking.

Okay. And then I, I would have to kill rock. Oh, okay. There's other genres of music that you could listen to. Okay. Um, yeah, good. Kill drugs. No, you love drugs.

I don't love drugs, but it's not a drug. I'm not a drug guy, but imagine. But if you had to pick a drug to play music, I do the least amount of drugs of anybody on the show besides Billy and Jake. Yeah. Okay. Okay. It's Capicola at his cap guys.

I would like some nice Capicola from the Italian deli. I don't think that's Capicola at all. All right. Um, okay. My first pick, I will go with. Hmm. Damn. There's so many good combinations.

There's so many good combinations. I'll go with surf and turf. Surf and turf is my first pick. I love surf and turf steak and some kind of fucking turf. No, sir. That's a podcast. Oh, no, not the podcast. That's going deep now.

Surf and turf will be my first pick. So it's such a baller move to be like, I'm going to have steak and I'm going to have shrimp or I'm going to have steak and I'm going to have lobster. Surf and turf. All right, Billy, Jake. So they might veto it, but go ahead. Oh, shit. Big cat and PFT commentary.

Oh, I knew that was going to be a panda pick. I knew that was going to be a panda pick. Great pick, Billy. All right, good job. No, we can't, we can't veto that. Is that not a great company? No, that is. That is.

So you, that I, that's the panda that is the most pandorous pickable time. You guys just like, we don't even have to pick the rest of the draft. You guys won, but that's fine. That's good. I also appreciate Billy, uh, just pretty much putting us, you know, Mount Rushmore is a rock of dead, old people that used to be good. And Billy's trying to take our jobs by, by, by, no, no, no, that was a good pick. That was a good pick, Billy.

I was going to mention that as a panda pick, not pick it because that would be a terrible ego play, but that was a good pick. Yeah. All right, Hank. Um, I will go with. Chips and salsa. Ooh, good one. I'm not going to sit, all right, I'll, I'll check to a little bit.

I feel like there's five other things that go better with chips than salsa. But that's, that's a year pick. Oh, it's my, I can, it's my pick, right? Are we allowed to have a discussion? Are you afraid of, I was curious, you got a freedom of speech guy? No, you kind of like tried not veto it, but you're like, I don't know. You're just, you're, you're just whatever you're doing your thing. I didn't do anything.

You're doing your thing. Uh, you're poisoning the listener's minds. Having to discuss peanut butter and jelly. Okay. Good pick. Good one. Good pick, good pick, good pick, good pick. Jake just gave Billy.

You guys know this is a podcast, right? Yep. We got to talk. Got a discussion. I just use your face. Okay. Milk and cookies. Ooh, okay.

Um, I have to do a strategic pick here. Uh, oh, actually, I don't know. Okay. All right. Uh, I'll go with this isn't a strategic pick. I'm just going the man draft. Uh, shit in a shower, shit in a shower. Nothing feels better.

Really get yourself going. Especially if you don't have toilet paper. What? In the shower. No shit and a shower. Shit in a shower. It's a great combo. If you want to feel like instantly better about everything that's going on in your

life, you take a shit, you then take a shower and you're like, come out a new man. Mm hmm. Lose a few pounds, shower up the best. All right. Um, I got two picks. So I'm going to go with hot wings, cold beer. Okay. Yeah.

Especially when it's, you know, illuminated in a neon sign, the hot is always red. The cold's always blue. It's just, it's a wonderful combo. Um, my next one, I've got a lot of good choices here. There's a lot of good choices out there. Uh, I'm going to go with my list is Baron. Really? I was going to pick out in PFT.

I thought that was going to be. Do you see money? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Rex and Rob, Ryan. Okay. Uh, okay. I'll go skip and Steve and I. That's a good combo.

Yeah. Everyone wishes that those guys were still together. You got one, Jake. Okay. Bacon and eggs. Oh, good combo. Good combo. Great combo.

You got two here. I know. I have one left. I was also going to be our all time. Like, how did you not do this draft? There are a lot of combos out there. Uh, I will go with Robin big. Oh, RIP.

And I will go with. Mm hmm. Mm. Can we come back? Can I know? No, no, no. Is this? How do you not have more?

I want to hear the beginning of the show. I want to give you one hand. Hank and time zones. Uh, I don't know. Alcohol and time zones. Worse combos. Fire and ice. Ah, good one.

Good one. I get. All right. You know those stories when you're going on a road trip that go. Booze, fireworks, guns and ammo. Yeah. Those are awesome stories. Okay, Eric.

It's a great combo. That's really all I need. Okay. Um, all right. I'm going to go with my last pick. I'm going to go, uh, thunder and lightning, but specifically in your backfield. Nothing better than that. When you got the big bruiser between the tackles and then a scat back on the outside.

Now it's interesting because my last pick, and you guys, maybe you can tell if this counts my last pick was going to be thunder, thunder, lightning and the thunder. I mean, you, so it's just the lyric to that song. Yes. Okay. Yeah, that counts. Okay. All right.

Cool. Yeah. Um, all right. I, I have a ton. I can't believe, does it, what do you guys have that you was off the list? I had some, the, the one that hurts me the most would, would have been, uh, Briso, Chris, Brian and Anthony Rizzo too soon booze and burgers, booze and burgers. Jim and Dwight.

Yeah. Well, I would say, I, I, I, I, I, I, but Jim and Dwight together. They're, they're high jinks. Toby and Michael. I think Michael Jim and Dwight. Okay. Um, football's in the crossbar, dipping, uh, dipping a shit. That was not nice Hank.

I heard that. Um, beer and pizza, rain and naps. Also Hank, it's, it's football upright and a crossbar. Um, Michael Jordan, Bugs Bunny. Yeah. Great combination. Jordan and Pippin, uh, salt and pepper, salt and pepper, Ravens and Steelers. Ravens and Steelers is a good one.
