Welcome to part of my take today is Wednesday, December 13th and Tommy DeVito has taken the world by storm. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, him and his agent

who was straight out of central casting with the hat, his dad kissing everyone, the giant speed, the packers, what a night. He's the second quarterback I think, who went undrafted to win three games in his rookie season. It's three in a row. And three in a row, and it's wild. it's wild. He's he's playing really good. He's playing. He's fun He's that's the thing is like he's actually a very entertaining quarterback to watch. He's a very fun quarterback to watch

Our friend Kevin Clarks put it perfectly. I saw last night when when Tommy DeVito Mania was happening And we will talk about the other game. He said, every other sport is absolutely desperate to generate stars, and the NFL is like, the Giants have an Italian guy, and it's a national story. He's, well, that's it. Like, for a place for him. Yeah, they're like, how can we get Mike Trout more visible to the nation?

It's like, or the NFL is just like, hey, this guy likes cutlets, and his dad kisses people, he's taking the world by storm. It's like the, what if Michael Vick was white, what if Mike Traut was Italian? Yeah. It would be a mega star. Can you imagine?

With the Tommy DeVito thing, if you took this script to Hollywood Big Cat, what would they say? They would throw it out. They would throw you out. They'd say, Bing Kingsley passed, but we saw Lindsey Lohan, what a piece of ass. Yeah, it's also it's, it's,

it also is perfect because, stereotypes usually are frowned upon in 2023 Italians are the one people that you can stereotype and it's somehow fun and funny. That's a true. That's true Max I'm an Italian father. I'm a proud Italian father my children are all Italian What are you saying? I can't say no you can say whatever you want you're an Italian father. Yeah, I'd say up I'm not in the family, but I'm like a consigliary for them. I'm Tom Hagen here. You can do Polish too.

Polish, yeah, Polish too. Oh, a little upset. Well, they maybe not smart enough to get upset. Yeah, they don't get the jokes. Yeah, right. But Italians for some reason, it's just like, you can always just have fun with Italians because it's this weird blend of like kind of making jokes,

but it's also just the pride. Like Italians like, yeah, we're prideful people. We eat cutlets, we throw touchdowns, Sunday dinner, Sunday dinner, we kiss, we kiss our dudes. I also think it's that like Italians are also probably the most like that towards every other culture. Correct. So it's like, okay, they'll take it back. It's also true. Right? Like Italians, they make jokes, they bust balls, we're just bustin' balls.

Yeah, we're having fun with the guys. As a 1% Sicilian, I give people permission to make fun of Tommy DeVito. A little Sunday gravy and bust some balls. It feels good. But it's in a good way, it's in a loving way. Like Tommy DeVito has given us a gift this year. Yes. He has made the New York Giants entertaining.

In a year where they have no business being entertaining, and your rooting form, uh, DeVito told him before that final drive. Yes. Just go out there and rip that son of a bitch. I told him before that final drive. Yes. Just go out there and rip that son of a bitch. I love it. I love it.

Yeah. It's a great story. It's perfect. That's happening in New York. And it's also Brian Dable deserves a lot of credit because he, I don't think he was ever going to get fired. But there was a, there was a world where the giant season was trending in such a disastrous way.

The question was being asked, like this is a joke. They went to the playoff last year. Are they going to end up with two wins? They're going to look this non competitive in games. What he's done with Tommy DeVito, I mean Daniel Jones, it would be a real shame if Daniel Jones, you know, slipped and fell, ended up in the marshes. It's all insane. Or like Tommy DeVito around the holidays. You know how they always get like the local quarterback to hand out turkeys and shit out of the back of a semi truck. What if he was just like handing out VCRs, televisions out of the back of a truck, it

come by swing by the parking lot outside the mall. Yeah. Well, the family handed out cutlets at their family. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was a whole thing and their family is so funny. It, I'm going to say it's not, it's not zero percent chance that someone puts a horse head in Daniel Jones's bed. Good. Happen. It's not zero. It's not.

It's definitely is not zero. I think it's like maybe 1% but it's not zero. Yeah. I think he'd rather be sending him like a fish in the mail. Like he'd rather the team lose every game. Yeah. I mean, Tommy DeVito is like he's captured there. And he's captured the hearts and minds of the entire tri-state area. And he's also.

Any Italian. Is there a hero? Daniel Jones just had a more ethnic sounding name. Yeah. I don't think that there would be this much like uproar of Tommy DeVito because it's like we got our guy coming back. But now you got a guy named Daniel Jones that looks like.

Want to Duke. Yeah, it's like Ellis Island versus the Mayflower. Yeah, he looks like a white collar criminal, right? As opposed to the guys that take from those guys. Yeah, right. Tommy DeV versus the Mayflower. Yeah, he looks like a white color criminal. Yeah, right as opposed to the guys that that take from those guys Yeah, right Tommy DeVito's Robin Hood in this situation. Yeah, Daniel Jones should just be like can I be your lawyer Tommy DeVito? Yeah, like that's that's that's my future But yeah, it was a very fun game the Giants it was also just this old weekend in football was such a good reminder that Even at the end of the season teams are still trying.

Tanking doesn't really exist unless you're the Carolina Panthers because the Packers went from Sunday night Chiefs huge win. Oh my god. Look how good they are. I was saying it to a complete like fall on their face. Jordan Love did not look good. Their defense did not get a sack on Tommy DeVito I believe which the Giants offensive line is like I mean, Justin Pew is on the couch a month ago and they didn't get a sack. And now the packers are looking like, oh, shit, maybe we read the press clippings a little bit. Maybe we got a little ahead of ourselves.

Yeah. Yeah. Last night was also like a stroke of genius from Roger Gidell that he's going to think that he did a great job because we had two Monday night football games which absolutely snuck up on America. We're like, wait, why are we doing these two games at the exact same time this week?

That doesn't make any sense. And there were awesome games. The endings to these games were incredible. They both could have been fine on their own. They were doing fine on their own. So people are gonna be talking all week about what a great Monday night we had. And Gidell is gonna be like, yep, I did it again now. We're gonna do two Monday night football games every week

I'm fine with that's the future. I'm fine. I'm calling it in the future might not be next year might not be the year after Cadillus gonna want to try to get two Monday night football games and it's I don't know if it's a good idea In fact, I think it might not be a great idea But the fact that these two games were so good, it's gonna make him think like this was the best idea of all time. I would be in favor of it if they did a little bit of a static.

Stagger, even in hour. Yes, even in hour, because then just give us an extra hour of football to end the weekend. And let's be honest, even if it was just back to back games, I would watch that. Oh, yeah. Give me five more hours of. Yeah, if one ends at one in the morning, five.

Easy. I'll stay up. I moved in our West just for this exact scenario. Yes. That was the Sergio dip game. Yes. The late Monday night game. Yes.

That was 9-11. Sean McDermott tried to warn us about Sergio dip. He did. The packers are still in the playoffs as of right now, but that was definitely like they could have seized everything with the fact that the Lions lost and you know the Seahawks keep losing They could have put themselves in a really nice spot and now they're like now they got to win now

They got to now it's hard to win out. It's and they don't have to win out But they have to they can't drop two more now. Mm-hmm big big week for the Bears too. I mean the Bears might bears in the hunt a little I'm I've thought about it in the bears, right? Bears in the hunt. A little, I've thought about it. It's one game at a time. They have to beat the browns. If they don't beat the browns,

then it's just like, this is all, this is all, but if they beat the browns, then I'm gonna start thinking about playoffs. That's smart. It has to, you have to get through that hurdle and the browns are really good to get to a point where I can start realistically. Like, I'm having fun with it in the hunt.

I'm not actually thinking playoffs right now. They have to beat the browns to think play off. In the hunt though. You are in the perfect scenario where you can, you can root for being in the hunt. I'm not actually thinking playoffs right now. They have to beat the browns to think play out in the hunt though. You are in the perfect scenario where you can you can root for being in the hunt like we were talking about the other week within the hunt being such a powerful narcotic. If you're a fan of one of those teams because it gives you the illusion that you're good when you're actually just wasting your time. Yeah. You get a worse pick. But with the panthers being such dog shit, you can you can enjoy all the fruits of being in the hunt. You get them both and you get both. It's the best of both worlds.

I tried it to Matt LeFour by the way. He did kick a field goal down eight. It was fourth and 10 though. Yeah, I was smart. But he also it felt like they were going to not kick a field goal when they were down five, which I was nervous that he might try to kick another field goal. Yeah, he was going to three him to death.

And then Tommy DeVito just going down the field. Like the Packers defense completely. Jordan loved and played good, like the Packers defense completely like Jordan loved didn't play good But the Packers defense not getting a sack and also letting Tommy DeVito go down the field like that I'm so glad that it happened to because if it weren't for the Giants Oh, I was like a talent so I get mad at you for how you're talking down about Tommy DeVito I'm not talking down. I said Tommy DeVito took it was a legacy drive Tommy DeVito is one of the most fun stories in the enough

See like Tommy DeVito drive it down like yeah, the. Tommy DeVito is one of the most fun stories in the enough. We see that Tommy DeVito drive it down like that. Yeah, the Packers' Defense should, like they should be better than that. Yeah, no, I'm not a talents, I'm not upset. But yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, we're over here making inarticulate Italian noises, but we're just rooting for the guy because he's a fun story, Hank.

He's very fun. He's saying that I should be upset. No, hey, Max always makes inarticulate Italian noises. You got two dates with Tommy DeVito. Yeah. You a little bit worried about that. I would like, I would like them to lose next week. What? And the Eagles, you would like to lose next week. No, I would like the giants to lose next week before we play. You admit the Eagles are frauds. No, the computer said no. Are the Eagles are the Eagles. F frauds? No, why are you asking me this?

No, the Eagles are not frauds. Are the Eagles frauds? Why are you asking me the same question? Oh, wait, I can't, you cut out for a second. Are the Eagles frauds? Yes! Yeah! Like you guys like set this whole thing up

which is only totally doing this. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, there's a correct in there I think too. Wait Max wait, wait, wait, wait, there's a pack. There's a pack. Correct in there, I think, too. Wait, Max, I thought that you said that the Eagles were good. They are good. Wait, Max, I thought you said,

wait, Max, I thought you said that the Eagles were good. This is the worst soundboard. Correct. Yeah. Yes. No, it means you're supposed to, you're supposed to play the wrong one. Yeah.

Wait, Max, I thought you said that the Eagles were good. Wrong, wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Fake. This is the sale. Oh, yeah. Memes might be the worst soundboard operator of all time.

He's like, he's looking at it like he's an 80 year old guy trying to type an email. I really do think that's one thing the studio needs. I know SVP has it It's the board that's right here that me and big cat can just press to get whatever sound effect we want Yeah, but bobo bobo bobo. Yeah, great ones You guys just did this whole elaborate plan to like trying Sneak this behind me and I knew it was going on the entire no no there really wasn't a elaborate plan We just we we don't execute plans well It was like hey let's make a soundboard so we try to

make a soundboard memes can't you operate a computer give us one noise a random one your favorite this can be such a bad night for me and you guys just want it to be so much worse all right so we got the max soundboard now I also want to put hanks y'all on the soundboard. Yes. Just wait a minute. It's loud as possible. The other game. You hate our listeners. The other game.

No, I love our listeners. Playing my yawns for the listeners is, that's, you hate them. I've gone so far into my hatred of your yawns that I love them now. We did it one time. Remember on the podcast, I yawned. I was going to let it out and everyone was disgusted. Yeah, it is disgusting. Oh, last thing.

Tommy DeVito's agent. We're going to have to. Remember on the podcast, I yelling, I was like, you're gonna let it out and everyone was disgusted. Yeah, it's angry. It is disgusting. Oh, last thing, Tommy DeVito's agent, we're gonna have to get him on the show. Stiletto. Yeah. He's, and I think Eli might have called him slimy, and then he got up, he went on New York radio today

and was very upset about it. I like that he's playing into it though. He's a smart guy. Like if you have lightning in a bottle like this, you have to lean into everything. Lean into the discussion that's already happening. And gas your guy up. He got dressed up last night specifically because he knew it was going to create a stir on the deal with the phone. That's a good agent. Everything.

That's a great agent right there. He looks great. It was, yeah, it was very, very fun game. Tommy DeVito, hero, Italian American hero. He is surpassed. When we said when he first came in and, you know, what it was a month ago and he didn surpassed women when we said when he first came in and you know What it was a month ago and you didn't look good and we're like someday he's gonna be able to you know coach Jim class and have that Jersey behind him Now I think he's like we're talking dealer like Car dealership we're talking paid appearances use car dealership paid appearances We're talking cameo millionaire like he's and and on top of all that he might just be in the NFL for a long time. He's gonna be in some movies.

Yeah. Tommy DeVito. Tommy DeVito. What a story. So yeah, the other game, the dolphins, uh, what a collapse. So first of all, credit to Will Levis. He looked awesome. He drove. So the game with Will Levis, they were down two touchdowns with 4-34 left.

I think we all thought that that was it. The Titans kind of fell apart there with all the fumbles and muff ponds and everything. And then he drives him down and two consecutive drives for touchdowns. Mike Vrable, analytics guy going for two. But the dolphins, I know they have injuries. A lot of offensive line injuries,

Tyree Kill getting injured. That was really bad for the dolphins. He's a bad, bad ending. It was in their offense. I, I was getting into it a little bit with Dolphins fans last night because they are very sensitive about to which I understand I do consider myself part of to an on saying Tyree Kill is the MVP does not diminish to a, I think to his very good quarterback. When Tyree Kill is on the field.

He doesn't even have to catch the ball what he's able to do to bend the defense like when he came back that first time. I don't know if he caught a ball in that first drive, but everyone was open because everyone's got to worry about where he is on the field the fastest kid alive and everything else just becomes easier. So I he looked at me like he's the most important player on the dolphins and he probably should be considered MVP. Well, sports riders are dumb. They're very dumb people. Like they they see a big round number like 2000 and they will vote for him for the MVP.

Right. He gets a 2000 yards, but they're dumb. Yeah. Right. Like if he gets nine if he gets 1900 and 65 yards, probably not going to be MVP, but when they see that number two, they're gonna be like, wow, never been done before. Tyree Kill MVP. Yes. But yeah, when you saw him go out last night, it definitely affects the entire offense. It affects their big play capability.

Like even Waddle couldn't get big plays with Tyree Kill out of the game, because he creates so much space for Waddle to run through. Alick Engold had a great hurdle though. He did. But we've talked to Alick. Alec Engold had a great hurdle though. He did. But we've talked to Alec about that.

He's a listener of the show. He's on the Lomand Committee. Alec, you, God gave you the ability to get low on people for a reason. You don't need to be jumping over him. Yes. He's going to look at me and move from the full back. The, I do like to, I think he's a very good quarterback. I also think that he might lead the league in hospital passes.

Yep. He had a few last night. I mean, the jail in Waddle one like the first pass of the game. He had another one, I think, to A chain where the ball just stayed in the air for so long that the linebacker almost got there before the ball got there. It's because of how their offense is set up where they've got so many crossers, crossers, yeah. And two, it throws the ball before they even make the breaks. I know. If you have one defender that makes an early cut on something, even if it's like a blown

coverage that accidentally works out well for the defense, you're going to get some dude just going head to head against your receiver across the middle. Yeah. And that was a really bad loss for the Titans. They are sorry for the line dolphins. They now, I don't, the bills are suddenly alive in the AFC East because there's now the the dolphins are two games ahead and they have to play uh the jets the cowboys the ravens and the bills now you think they beat the jets but who knows because the jets have been you know they have a good game

yeah and they're defense they have the Zach Wilson spark. But let's just say if they lost to, if they beat the jets and then lost the Cowboys and Ravens and the bills ran the table, week 18 would be for the AFC East. The amazing. And the bills have the Cowboys this week, which can be very tough,

but then they get the chargers without Justin Herbert and the Patriots at home. So yeah, it's all like, it happened just like that. Spoiler. It happened just like that where it was like, wait, hold on a second. Hank, I hope you live. Yeah, I hope you win that game.

Spoiler. You got a couple spoilers coming up. I hope, I hope Hank just spoils everybody. I want the Patriots to win a bunch of games down the stretch. Spoiler the shit out of everyone. Yeah, just win everything down the stretch. It was a, it was a crazy weekend though because it was basically. It's so nice of you, PFT. You're usually never that. No, I'm not.

I'm not sure about the page. I am. I think that it's a great franchise. I hope that, you know, Bill Bell check one of the best coaches. I think Bill still has a realist. It's got opportunities. Stick around in New England after the season. That's true. If he can put a few wins together at the end here, I'm rooting for Greatness, Hank. That's a great organization. I want you guys to win every last game that you have this year. One of your Super Bowl contending commanders end up getting like the number two draft picks. Think Bill would want to come then.

I didn't even think about that, but I guess that. So if you're Bill Belichack and you've already made up your mind to go to the commanders, the best thing you can possibly do is to win a bunch of games as New England Patriots coaches here, give the commanders a better draft pick. That's a good point. That's a really good point. Thank you for bringing that up. You know, ball. Yeah, the Patriots who have the they're in prime spoiler watch. They have chiefs, Broncos, bills, all teams looking for seating and Broncos and bills looking to get in the playoffs. Yeah. Did you see Tyree kill on that when you

got injured on the the horse collar tackle. Yeah, and he was a horse collar Hip drop. Yeah, it was a combo. He hit all the all the bases on that one. Horn sharp Like we're instantly tweeted about it got to get this out of league all of it. Okay, so the hip drop tackle Let's talk about the hip drop tackle because I don't know how you're supposed to tackle somebody from behind. Yeah It without it being a hip drop tackle. It's a dangerous tackle, but I also, it's legal. Yeah, it's also how you tackle somebody. Like, tackling is dangerous. And when you get tackled from behind, unless you do like a shoe string,

grab them around the legs, but then, you know, five years down the line, could all be like, well, you can't tackle somebody low from behind because we've seen a bunch of leg injuries off that. It's ankle injuries. Hope all is a dangerous sport. But the hip drop tackle, okay, I understand

horse collar, that is, it's almost like every time somebody gets horse colored, you're like, that guy could be injured. Yeah. Um, there's really no safe way to tackle somebody from behind. Right. It just doesn't exist. And you, you run into the thing where defenders are now like even think about a defensive lineman, you can't hit a quarterback in the head or anywhere above the shoulders and you can't hit them anywhere below the knees. So got strikes on. Yeah, it's becoming harder and harder if we if we bend this tackle, which I don't think they will. I don't think they will, but there's enough people out there talking.

Yeah, the hip drop has become the buzz tackle of like it. It makes you sound like you know what you're talking about. Right. Oh, that's a hip drop technique. It's a technique. You're talking technique now. Like you tackle somebody from behind and then naturally your your body weight brings you down and then that brings them down

That's the most efficient way to tackle someone from behind. That's how physics works. Yeah. Yeah, you just you make yourself a backpack Yeah, so um, but with Tyree Kills injury He looked like he was really hurt and then he got up and he did the thing that that kiddo sometimes where he just tells himself I'm not injured actually yep, and he just sprints it off the field. That's how not injured I am. So he texted his wife at halftime. Yes. His wife gets football guy of the week this week because Tyree kills wife was like, uh, you better get your ass back in that game dog. And he was like, all right, and went back in. It's on. It's on. So shout out to Tyree kills wife. Yes. Huge football football guy of the week for sure. Um, Tyree kill also, he's definitely in the big Ben realm of like, and I don't even

think he does it on purpose, but it does feel like, I don't know, six times a year. You're like, oh, he's out for the season. His body's just, it's just one big muscle. So he gets a lot of those like, his body revolts against him sometimes. It's like, dude, you're going too fast. Yeah. And then he sits out for a few plays and he's like, come on, body, we're doing this. And his body's like fine.

Yeah. Also shout out Mike Vrable. and it's by it's like fine. Yeah. Also shout out Mike Vrable. That was a classic Vrable game. He's still is one of the best coaches. I know the Titans have not had a good year, but you just always have to be worried about a Vrable game where you just can't count the Titans out ever. No matter who's on the team. And Audrey Hopkins is awesome.

Great. Yeah, Hopkins is still really good. Yeah. Just when they can get them the ball, that's the issue. I couldn't believe that, like imagine the dolphins going into this game being like you're gonna get a pick six you're gonna get two fumbles in the red zone a Muff punt. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, counting that as well. Yeah, so two fumbles basically in the red zone And you're not gonna win the game up 15 with two minutes left and of course you're gonna get the ball back

Yeah, it's the first time in what like seven years that a team has come back from being down 14 with under three minutes left. Yeah, we'll love us dog dog dog. And did you see the chess bump that he gave on the sidelines after the game? He tried to run someone over last night too. He trucksticked him.

Yeah, that was awesome. Uh, okay, my fault for raising my hand. Yes, that is your fault. Good point, Jay. You're responsibility. Your dolphins, are they frauds? No, but if they don't beat the Jets, the panic button. Maybe you got to worry about the Jets instead of trying to worry about, uh,

how the Broncos record means that you beat a team over 500 thought. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that might, that might help backfired. Yeah, that did backfired. We move on. Beat the Jets. Beat the Jets. Must compete. Must win. Must win. Okay, yeah, that might that might help back fired. Yeah, that did back we move on feet the jets Beat the jets must compete must win must win. Oh, okay. We got a couple must win actually

I'm the bears have a must win. We have a lot of must wins on this show this weekend. Patriots have must win for me. Yeah Let's go Pats. I mean we need a Patriots wait you guys mathematically eliminate for the playoffs No, no only you Patriot. Wait, so you guys mathematically eliminate for the playoffs? No, not only you. Patriot and the panthers. Oh, that's right. The Patriots are. But I listen, we have we have most I can root for tanking because shut the fuck up for a second. I've already we have most over bases. You could still make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. You said that was the possibility. You did say soupies. I said soupies season. If we beat the bills and the Eagles back to back. Got it. Yeah. No, you said one of the two. One of the two. And we

didn't. News flash. We lost both. Super. But we've got most of our bases covered in terms of big media successful franchises on this podcast. We've got Chicago. We've got Philly. We've got New York. We've got some Miami. We don't have the Patriots fan on this podcast. We got Dallas. We got Dallas. Huge. So I think I have to just take up the mantle and say, you know what? Do your pod. I like that. Yeah. That's big of you.

Let's go, Pat. I'm a big lighthouse believer. That thing is legit. Cowboys. You're cowboys. You're boys cowboys. Cowboys. Yeah.

You need to buy some more gear. I need to see you in cowboys gear for the entirety of January. I like it's so funny too, because the A.W.L.s are, that we have the best fans in the world, but them buying in just being like, thank you Hank for repping our boys, like, finally. I think they're serious. I get some harmonies. I get some harmonies.

Like, it means a lot. I'm like, are you fucking stupid? Are you gonna put a few shot on them? You should. Yeah, I'm gonna. You have to. It's a buzz low right now. Yeah, do it right now.

You might as well. The boys. How about them boys? Okay, other things, clean up. Patrick Mahomes, as predicted, talked to the media today, or I think he was on a radio show, and he was like, yeah, I overreacted.

He apologized to the youngsters. Well, I usually don't hear like an athlete say that, that's usually the realm of the guy doing the interview. Like, what about the youngsters at home? Yeah, homes is like, you know, there's kids watching at homes, and I apologize for how I acted in the post game, especially with Josh, because he did,

the second it happened, you knew that he was gonna look back on that and be like, that's not a good look for me to be complaining to Josh about a call. Yeah. And also with a benefit of hindsight, seeing that Caterius Tony was the most offsides person in the history of football. Probably made him be like, okay, yeah,

maybe Caterius should have checked with the refs at some point. And he did, and then there were cheese fans trying to say he did check with the refs. If you watch the clip, he literally pointed to a ref and before the ref could even give him anything, but any signal back, he just lined up off sides. Oh, that's not good. Just spilled water on your laptop.

It's fine. This is laptop from 2016. Oh, okay, you're, you're no problem. Just dump it off. I'm just going to let it air dry. Yeah, air dry it. And it's body armor water. Oh, wait, you have no problem. Just dump it off. I'm just gonna let it air dry. Yeah air dry it And it's body armor water. Oh wait, you have a spill underneath. Come on We have a give us something to wipe it up. Yeah, I got a shirt. Yeah, give us a shirt. Oh, yeah, he I

people who say they lost respect for my homes or don't like him now are the lamest people in the world agreed because You're basically telling on yourself that you didn't like my homes and you were just waiting for something to be like, yeah, that's why I don't like him. Right. It was a bad moment for him. He looks childish,

but it's also a passionate game. It's guys after a game are always gonna say shit that is different than two days later. So, and I know there were some Kansas City fans that were saying that PFT, we're not allowed in Kansas City anymore. We're banned. Because we're an anti-cheese podcast, which I don't. I think there's just a lot of people who, and I understand it,

fandom is crazy. We're fanatics for a reason. We're literally psychos. They cherry pick whenever we say bad things and don't listen when we say good things. So I think we should say a couple good things about Kansas City. I also think we've been pretty consistent over the last five years saying a lot of really good things.

My homes is the best quarterback in the NFL fact. I think he's the best quarterback to ever play the game. Wow. The chiefs are always- That's my beloved Tom Brady. The chief. The fucking goat. It's disgusting anybody ever mentions him

in the same breath as Tom Brady. The chiefs are always live to win the suit Well, even now with all their issues. I still wouldn't bet against them in January and We were the first podcast to ask to debate whether the debate would happen about Andy Reed being the goat coach It's true. We were the first to do it But yeah, I like Kansas City. We went there George Brett showed us his barbecue place. It was awesome. They don't get enough credit

for having awesome uniforms either. Yeah. Chiefs have just classic unies. And Kansas J-Hawk fans are the most passionate. I wanna go to Fall Gowlands, some point. Is that in, are we allowed outside of Kansas City? Are we allowed in Lawrence? We need a clarification from Kansas City chiefs fans,

if we're allowed to be in the state of Kansas. Or Missouri. Or Missouri. Yeah, or Missouri or Missouri. Yeah, I will Preferably Missouri. Yeah, but I yeah, the chiefs are really good chiefs are really good franchise Travis Kelsey is the second best tight end of all time behind my My beloved drunk. Yeah, the The chiefs could easily still get the buy by the way. Yeah. Oh easily Yeah, things are falling apart at the top the dolphins losing the Ravens and dolphins having to play each other The Ravens having to play the 49ers. I wouldn't say I wouldn't say easily because I think they have to have a Couple teams have a couple losses and then they need to kind of run the table

But the Ravens and dolphins play each other. Yeah, and it's easier schedule for the chiefs But it's it's a realistic possibility. I wouldn't be shocked if we, if come, you know, playoff time, we're like, wait, the chief's still out of all that, you know, the, it reminds me actually of like your beloved Patriots when they were running hot. There was always a point in the season where everyone would be like, they're done. Yeah.

And then you look up and you're like, wait, hold on. I love that when Mark Bruno, we get on TV and cry about footballs, when they count us out, be like, oh, is this the end end of the dynasty because we lost one game and then we're on a Cincinnati it's time to get back to greatness. Yeah so you know what we'll do memes tomorrow like around 11 o'clock I want you to tweet a poll from the part of my Twitter and this is a poll for Kansas City chiefs fans and people in Kansas and Missouri only asking if we're allowed to go to Kansas City ever again.

Yeah, I'll be honest. It was kind of funny. He's like, you come here and you're like, it sounded like I had to check in with him. It's on site. Yeah. I'd like, hey, is it okay? Can't you got a tap in when you go to Kansas City?

I would, I think I would do the thing where if I pressed a button and one of you guys in this room would, I don't wanna say die, yeah, die. I would press a button if one of you in this room would die, but it meant that I- This room were in that control room. The control room. Meaning that I would have Patrick Mahomes

as my quarterback for the next 10 years. I've said I would give- A random person. I would give multiple toes. I'd give children. I'd give multiple toes. I would sacrifice for E.P.F.D. Thanks, Jake.

Very cool. I'll give my firstborn child, Chris. I would give Chris, I would give for EPST. Yeah, thanks, Jake. Very cool. I'll give my first born child, Chris. I would give Chris, I would give Chris out. Give Chris away to the orphanage for Patrick Holmes. What are you gonna say? You guys wanna get some fun future takes wrong and just predict the playoffs? Yeah, yeah, I like this.

Okay, A playoffs. Right. I feel like there's as many scenarios like there's like 20 differences. Okay, AFC, I'm going to say Ravens by Dolphins 2C. I think they'll

be able to win a couple games here. Their schedule is tough coming up. Real tough. Should I do bills? I think the bills could win the division I think I think I think you're gonna win the dolphins fans are gonna crush you if you jump off them again I think I think the bills are gonna win the division Oh, what it was the bills. What are the bills got the two seat? They could they beat the Kansas City Chiefs The Jaguars catching another loss and the key chiefs catching another loss.

So if we win one, you get one thing, if we win two, you get two things, we win three, you get all three things. And we will give a code to the people on Sunday. I love this. I love this. Okay.

Before we get to Hatsi Kultrong, Shohei Ohtani, the deferred man. So it came out is seven year, sorry, ten years, seven hundred million dollar contract is being deferred at the price of sixty eight million dollars a year as being deferred. So he's getting paid two million dollars for the next ten years every year. And then once the contract is up he's getting paid $68 million every year for the next 10 years That is awesome. It's an awesome deal for the Dodgers 68 million a year Get it you're it's I saw a lot of people that are upset about the Dodgers doing this type of contract because it like violates the spirit of baseball

It's smart if you can find a player that's willing to do this, and also I'm pretty sure Otani, like he is going to do some sort of tax situation with this. When he's no longer playing for the Dodgers. He doesn't have, we probably won't live in California anymore at that point. So he's deferring most of until after, almost all of it until after he's done.

Also, the marketing that he's gonna get in Los Angeles is gonna make up for a lot of that money. So, he's, O'Tani's gonna be just fine. The Dodgers are secretly rooting for inflation now. Yeah, so that would be really good for them. Here's the real story here with this deal. It's a genius job by Shohei and his agents to have everyone say seven years,

or 10 years, $ million dollars. Oh my God he just broke the bank. The next biggest one was Aaron Judge nine years 360 or you know Mike Trout. I think he did like 12 years like 350 or 400 or something like that. This is a $450, $60 million contract because of inflation and interest. Yeah. So he basically I bet you that he when he went dollar contract because of inflation and interest. Yeah, so he basically, I bet you that he, when he went around shopping because of the injury, he, every single team that he talked to was probably in the $400, $500 million range.

And he was like, well, what if we just do deferment and we make it sound like it's a $700 million contract? So the way that baseball and the CBA calculates this, they actually have a formula to figure out what deferred payments would look like in terms of today's money. I think his contract is for about $46 million a year. Now, on the luxury tax.

Using that proprietary formula. Yeah. So when you take into account all the money is going to earn, it's like if you gave him $46 million a year today. Yeah, so it's 400, it's, and that's the genius part, because when we see the contract come out and everyone flips out and they're like,

but Aaron Judge has signed for nine years, 360 million. Well, if you actually think about it, this is a natural progression of contracts. Shohei Otoni signed for 10 years, 460 million. That's a natural progression from Aaron Judges' 9 for 360. And I think that he honestly was like everyone who was negotiating with Shohei Otoni was probably in the 400-ish range with no deferments and maybe 500 with a few deferments. And then they're like, hey, what if we do 700 million with all deferments?

It was his idea to do this. It's deferment. But it's genius because it sounds like he just broke the mold of baseball in all contracts and you could say $700 million that's insane, but that's not the value of the contract. The value of the contract is somewhere in the 400s. Yeah, he, I think it's a win-win for both.

No, I do too, but I just want to. The Dodgers are pretty happy about this. It was just, it was just very funny because and I did it too. It was like, what the fuck? He just doubled Aaron Judges' contract? No, he didn't. Yeah, it's good if the Dodgers are pretty happy about this. It was just, it was just very funny because, and I did it too. It was like, what the fuck? He just doubled Aaron Judges' contract? No, he didn't. Yeah, it's good for the Dodgers

because the world might not even exist in 15 years, in which case they don't have to pay him that. Yes, the sun could engulf the entire planet. It also made, it also weirdly helped out all the other teams fan bases when the 700 million gets reported because I know I personally was like, well, the Cubs would never have spent that. So I felt good for a little bit.

And then when you actually see the actual value, you're like, oh, the Cubs maybe could have offered that. Yeah, we just got outspin. We can't, we can't get with the big mark. Right, it was a, it's a $460 million deal. What would have been in Canadian dollars, if it sounded like Blue Jays? I don't know.

The only thing I know about Canadian dollars is when I look at the back of a book and it shows the two prices on there and it's always Canada's a little bit more. He probably would have gotten a billion Canadian dollars. He just did, Shohei just did what the NFL does for all their contracts. When the agents get to announce that a quarterback signs for, you know, five years, 200 million and then you look at it and you're like, hmm, there's only 60 million guaranteed and they can cut them after two years. He just did that for MLB where they can't cut him.

There's no salary cap, but they can essentially say, yeah, the value of this contract is not even close to 700 million. I could see DeVito's agent being like, yeah, we did a first billion dollar deal in the history of football. Right. It's like two, the first two years, you get four million and then after that,

you can get cut. Yeah. And then, okay, yeah, but we did a billion dollar deal. Yeah, you do like two, the first two years you get four million and then after that you can get cut. Yeah. And then okay, yeah, but we did a billion dollar deal. Yeah, you do like a 100 year land lease. We got a million dollars a year. Seven thousand boxes of ZD five sauces. It would be 10 million dollars a year. But yeah, yeah. And I don't understand numbers or interests or inflation or anything. I don't know. That's way above my pay grade. I do understand, well I tried to understand the Dodgers tweet about it last night when they made it official. You see the Dodgers tweet? No, it was four images that were each like 500 words.

Nobody read the entire thing. Do they like a mega no-top? Yeah, it was like a novel. They put out a novel just basically saying, we signed Shohei O'Tani. I would like to know if anybody out there actually read the entire thing. No, check. It was the actual real life.

I didn't read all that. Yeah, I'm sorry, or congrats, bro. Congrats to happen to you, yeah. Oh. Breaking news. Well, it's not news officially. It's just breaking news, I guess. Tuesday night, nine o'clock.

Big Cat has requested, I come back on the air by myself to talk about the rumors that Bill Belichuk is going to leave the Patriots and the season. Max is laughing at me right now. I'm sitting here alone. A report came out. It's not official. It was not a team document or announcement. So as of right now, it's just a report. Tom Kern, who is not, he's not a fan fictionist. He's real news, good reporter. So that at the end of the year, the Patriots and Bell Checker probably going to part ways that happened after the Germany game. And then Big Hat was like, you need to get on the air and do two minutes. Like I'm staying up, which I guess is good practice because I have to do 60 minutes coming up.

But I'm just gonna go with the fact that it's a report and it's not true, it might be fake news. I'm hoping it's fake. I'm in the denial stage right now. I don't want it to be true. That would force a lot of emotions to come over me that I'm not ready to accept at this very moment. And I'm talking into a microphone by myself right now. I don't even know what I'm saying. So that's my take.

I don't, it's tough because I wanted, I saw the tweets and stuff. People were sending me to tweet, big cat, PFT Jake, being like, oh, look at this, look at this, green light podcast, who took down a tweet and then put it back up saying it was a report, which was interesting, because if it was official, you'd think they would just leave up the original tweet. Justin Trudeau from the Kirkman Hancho tweeted that he had inside sources saying it was fake. So I'm just going with that.

That was a tweet I'd like to see and was like, yes. This is now we got Kirkman Hancho versus a Greenlight Podcast going for the news break. But then I read the actual report and there was rumors before the Germany game that if they lost, he was going to be on his way out. So the fact that the reports that had kind of happened after the Germany game made it seem like it made sense, which is again, I don't want to accept that reality.

So I'm not going to. This is my two minutes saying that we're just going to wait to see what happens. Sad day, bad day. I've never podcasted alone, and I hope I never have to again. Okay, let's do some hot sea cool thrown, and then we got Stav and Jay and Daniels coming up. So hot sea cool throw,

and it's brought to you by our friends at Chevy. There's a new family with unstoppable grit. They're the official partners. The part might take family and that is the Chevy Silverado ZR2 family. The first ever Silverado heavy duty ZR2 joins the franchise to make Chevy ZR2 the only truck brand with a full lineup of trucks ready for wherever your off-road adventures take you with exclusive multi-matik DSS V damper. She rugged mud terrain tires and up to 14 available camera views the Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Silverado

HZR2 a family with commanding an unstoppable grit head to Chevy dot com check out Chevy Silverado and the family Chevy ZR2 is the official trucks of part in my take Thank you to Chevy we're a wonderful sponsor. We are Chevy guys Hank your hot sea cool throughout my hot sea to Detroit pistons Oh, yeah, they It lost 20 straight games. Yeah, 20 straight. They're two in 21. The wizards are better than them in the standings. Yeah, which is saying the wizards got beat

by 45 last night by the 76. Yeah, the wizards are three in 19. But the pistons, I feel like it's kind of going a little bit under the radar. Like 20 losses in a row is all 20 losses in row is insane that well It's actually crazy because the pistons have 20 losses in a row and I'm pretty sure the spurs have 17 losses in a row Like both of these and then the wizards also have a ton of losses in a row like there's some

some really oh yeah actually here it is the the The Oh, yeah, actually here it is the the the the spurs have 17 losses in row the pistons have 20 losses in a row And I'm pretty sure that the wizards have won one game in the last Let's see eight. It's been a while. It's there they're They're one and 14 and their last 15. They're one win The Detroit pistons. I love that. So it's like the worst three teams, it's insane. So those teams combined are like one in 55 or something crazy.

Do you know what the record losing streak is in the NBA? What is it? Well, you can look at it one or two ways. Well, yeah, one is 24 and that's for the Cleveland Cavaliers. But then eventually over the parts of two different seasons, it was 76ers. Oh, 20 years. Because remember, it also, trust me.

I'd surprised the, they got a great draft pick out of that. Remember the Bobcats one year, one seven games? Yeah, that was crazy. But yeah, the pistons, how do you, that's crazy. 20 in a row. 20 in a row, Simon, the all start breaking. 20 in a row is definitely like, if you get over 15 in a row, it's fire everyone. You can't do 20 in a row. 20 in a row, so I'm gonna also break it. 20 in a row is definitely like, if you get over 15 in a row, it's fire everyone.

You can't do 20 in a row. No, you have to fire everyone. I don't know if you can legally fire everyone, but like I'm saying, cut everyone, fire everyone, do everything. 20 in a row. That's bad, real bad. And then my cool throwing it was gonna be the Dodgers,

PFT kinda touched on on it like that. That's the greatest deal of all time. Money's never gonna matter. Like the world's gonna end. Yeah. They're gonna have paid him like $20 million. It's a big one. California might be in the middle of the ocean.

Yeah. Um, you can pass. I guess my other cool throwing Paul Pierce was keeping up the hate. I respect it. He was on him and KG show. And he said LeBron's on top five in the NBA. Love that.

And KG flipped out. But LeBron is a good point. Like LeBron is LeBron, but he's old. It's gonna be 39. He's old. He's old. He's old. But I just respect, you know, I respect haters.

It encourages me to keep my hate up because Paul Pierce is still keeping his hate. Yeah, yeah. Thank you Paul. He's's it's nice representation matters Yes, that's what you're saying is like when they do you know Different movies with you know different minorities you needed this to have someone out there still hating and you're like see I can see myself in that mm-hmm. Yeah, like yeah, like the little mermaid is black. Hank's like, yeah, seeing that on TV makes me think one day I can grow up to be a

hater for my hero and he's hating on LeBron. Yeah, it's okay for me to still hate him. Yeah, that's great. All right, PFT, your hot seat cool, Tron. My hot seat is Kenya. Oh, because our boy Billy and Donnie are back over in Africa right now looking for revenge. They're trained on the hot seat. Billy's on. Oh, I've put Billy. Billy will be fired.

If he comes back and they scored no touchdowns. Billy's no, hey, he's never been fired. Hank has fake news. It's an inside joke. Billy was never fired. But yeah, I've told Billy. If he comes back and he cannot call himself Billy football and go scoreless against Kenya again. He's put himself in the ultimate future Billy

where he came back, he was kind of upset, he lost, and he got so excited about going back. And he was pitching and he's like, please help me get back there. I need to coach these guys. I don't even care if we get filmed. And I was like, Billy, that makes no sense. It's for content.

I don't care. I want to get this team to victory. And so he's going back and he's got all the pressure in the world. He's got all the pressure, but I'll defend Billy a little bit. When he came back and he was crying about it and he was really upset and he was crying, it's because he cares for the boys so much. He went out there practice with him.

He got passionate. I like passionate Billy. Me too. Say what you want about Billy when he's not passionate, but when he actually cares about something, he's usually pretty good at it. And he deeply, deeply cares about this one. So the part of my cheek steak bowl round two is going to happen. This is an away game. This is in Kenya at elevation. We've provided them. We actually put some money together, sit a bunch of equipment over for the Uganda football team. So they got new footballs, they got all this equipment,

pads, whistles, you name it. Billy is like a pack mule that we've set over to Africa. We're grown the game. And yeah, Billy will be fired if they don't score a touchdown. That's, it's not even that they don't score. Like if they come back and they lose 40 to three, Billy's fired. They have to get a touchdown.

Did you guys give him bribe money? Yeah, so that's the other funny thing. It's Billy put together a little budget for you. Yeah. And I actually, PFT was like, hey, we're gonna do this budget. I was like, I'm gonna send it to Donnie, not Billy. This is gonna read the budget,

because I was like, he was, when he's asking me, I was like, all right, what's it gonna cost? Can you send me a budget? Said flights, 1,400 hotels, 400 food, 50 bucks cheap parentheses. It goes extra baggage fee maybe, and then at the Barry bottom it goes, hopefully I don't have to pay any bribes this time,

but bribe and budget and cash, 500. Nice. Yeah. So Billy's just going overseas like a suitcase filled with ones. Good luck to Billy. And bribes. He's got a score touchdown though.

I have full confidence in Uganda. It was a wet game. It was rainy. Billy was injured last time. He just better get a touchdown. Yeah, okay, you're cool, Throne. My cool Throne is traffic. So Chicago just decided that we don't need traffic anymore.

Well, yeah, the construction. Yeah, so there's been construction ever since we moved to Chicago on the main highways, and it's been a pain in the acid drive around. As it is in most cities trying to get around, especially at rush hour, like two days ago, Chicago just said, you know what, let's just not do the construction

and we won't have traffic anymore. And when I drove to work yesterday, it was awesome. Yeah, it was so fast. I felt like I was living large, like luxury. They just said phase one complete. Yeah, so yesterday, it was awesome. Yeah. It was so fast, I felt like I was living large, like luxury. They just said phase one complete. Yeah, so like, oh, okay. Now there's just no phase two though.

We shouldn't do phase two. The phase two is common, you know it is. Because phase one is done and now there's no traffic anymore. We just decided, I don't know what they were building. Yeah, well, I think they were fixing the highway and then the, you know, like Brandon who drives from Wisconsin, he got here at like 715 the other day and I was like, why are you here so early?

And he's like, I might commute was like half as long. Yeah, there's no traffic anymore. There's something going on. Yeah, there's some sort of scam going on to that. My other cool throne is drip for the boys. So you know how I bought a bunch of a Darius Rucker NFL collab stuff? I did it again where I saw a Guy Fieri NFL Flavor Town collab. And so I got the boys. Hell yes.

Food related. I dropped like 500 on on fanatics the other day. And I was like, okay, you know who'd like this awesome shirt of a giant ass bear eating a deep dish pizza? My friend Big Cat, you know who'd like this lobster shirt? Hell yes. My friend Hank. And so now we got some some Guy Fieri NFL collab. bear eating a deep dish pizza, my friend Big Cat, you know, who liked this lobster shirt, my friend Hank. And so now we got some Guy Fieri NFL club.

So if you want to, if the guy that does a club wants to send me $20,000 worth of medium-sized commanders gear with Guy Fieri, influence on it, I'm open to hearing about that. But yeah, boys, you can be decked out this weekend. Yeah, I'm pumped. I'm ready for it. You told me that and I was like, fuck, yes. All right. My hot seat is Al Michaels. He has been blindsided. He's not calling the NBC playoff game this year. Really? Yeah. Was that his choice? No. No ego next up. Yeah. So they,

they, I think the, the people at NBC were like, we hear Al might be not, not, maybe not vintage Al. And so yeah, I think you got kind of of blindsided I don't like this. Yeah, no, I don't like it either. I don't like this let Al go out on his own terms I'll keep going, but yeah, that was some news Andrew Martian had that. Yeah, and then my cool throne is Georgia fans So Georgia fans they are not in the playoff but they're in a fight right now for five star quarterback Dylan Raola and there's a there's word on the street that he might be going to take a visit in Nebraska and we had this from a comment section in on a Georgia Bulldogs site. It says, does anyone here work at Hartzfield Jackson Airport?

It's being reported that Raola will visit Nebraska on Friday. I assume that it'll take the 221 Delta flight, which is also the last flight of the day to the state. Therefore, if this flight gets canceled, he likely won't be able to make the trip and will stay committed to UGA. Obviously, messing with commercial flights is a slippery slope. So I'm not suggesting that anybody does anything illegal, but does anyone here work for

Delta? If some loyal UGA pilots or flight attendants call in sick at the last minute, the flight could be canceled and we could keep Ryoah. Maybe someone working could hold the flight up for maintenance issues. At the very least, he could lose his check bags so he'd have to experience the Nebraska winter without a jacket. I'm just spit-balling ideas, but if anyone has anything else, those would also be appreciated. The phrase, obviously messing with commercial air travel

is a slippery slope was, that's an all-time. All-time. Yada, yada, yada. Yeah. Obviously, we just got to get this out of the way. I don't think there's a gray area for that. Yeah, probably not. Slippery slope is so.

Probably not. Yeah. Slippery slopes doing a lot of work. Yes, in that phrase. I'll put it that way. Yes, yes. Okay, your hot sea cool throne, Jake. My hot sea is the Detroit Lions

because next on their schedules, the Denver Broncos and Rosta Wilson has the baby bump. Yep, yep, yep, he had a baby. Yes, so that's Saturday night. Great Saturday triple header by the way. Yes. Alt teams above 500. My cool throw is hanging the banner,

because that's exactly what the Lakers will be doing for the in season tournament championship. They're hanging a banner. Oh, no. So I love it. They're just champion, they want a championship. Yeah, it's gonna be like a special colored banner. I think it has to be small.

Neon. It has to be smaller. It's different than their other championships. But that has sparked some. I mean, if it stays around, I guess you have to hang a banner. It would have been cooler if the Pacers wanted hung a banner, because that would have been like, that's nice. Yeah.

Lakers like you've won championships. Yeah. A lot of them. It would also be funny if the NC's in tournament never happened again, and they just had the only banner in season. Yeah. That would also be great if the N.C.'s internment never happened again and they just had the only banner in season two. Yeah, that would also be great. Okay, good job boys.

James Brown, too. Yeah. I like, I like the word rascal, too. That's a very underused word. I think so. Yeah. You call yourself a rascal. I would absolutely call myself.

It's hard to be a rascal, like in your 30s, though. I know. But I think that we all actually apply to that We're we're still at the rascal. You were playing dodgeball out here Yeah, yeah, it's a good thing to have where it's like never lose your inner rascal totally This is like this is truly like the little rascals. I know you have to legally probably employ what four women But this is the like a man woman haters call back. You know what I mean? I'm a clubhouse. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's great. Yeah. I was listening to another show you're on and you said something that really hit me hard when you said that you have gotten maybe not the best shape right now, but you're at a point where you can't have any black and white pictures of yourself. Absolutely. If they see a black and white picture of Stovler, I just like, oh, he's dead. He's dead.

Yeah, I can't get into photography right now. Because if people see, if they see an old time, if they see a black and white picture of stop they're just like oh he's dead. Yeah, I can't get into photography right now Because if people see fuck if they see an old time it they see one black and white me like gazing off like softly You know what I mean? They're gonna start texting my mom being like oh, no, how can we help you know like yeah? It's tough when you've gotten so fat that you cannot there's a couple I've hit a couple different points You know but your brother's fucking jack. I ran into him right before I left, uh, New York at the museum. I was with my kids and he just came up to me. He's like, Hey, I'm Stav's brother. I was like, dude, you're fucking jack. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he's got to get your back and shit. I know. It's funny because he started like, uh,

he just started running a business and I was, I would just go and hang out. I was like, Oh, sick. I'm gonna help my brother with a gym. He's gonna be my slave. He has to work me out whenever. And then he's like, no, I have to run my gym. Yeah, I have a, I have a, I have a client. That cocksucker. Good luck.

Good luck out there. I was like, fuck, dude. I help you buy these fucking equipment and I'm, you throw me to the fucking wolves to get fatter for a year. And that's what he did. But we're gonna get back to, I'm going back to Baltimore for a couple months. Nice. We're gonna train a year and do.

You're gonna do like Olympic lifting. I wish it. I have gotten so fat where I have to do like the train, like when an old woman breaks her hip, those are the workouts I have. You're like, you're in the pool. I have to be in the pool. I have to, like really thick rubber bands.

I have to stretch those out a little bit. You're gonna do like the supported treadmill where you're like strapped into it, it takes some time. We don't wanna add any weight here. We're just gonna do resistance bands. It's so sad, because I tried to like, I tried to get back, I was like,

I'm gonna get a jump on it, like on the road, I'm gonna work out. Oh, that's never, that is the worst thing ever. I get injured. I've just been injured, like one lift, my whole body, so. I've been going through that last, like, I don't know, two years where your body just accumulates injuries

and they never go away. It's like you step out a bed one day and you like spray in your foot, you're like, well, my foot's gonna hurt for the rest of my life. I'm just done. That's what's wrong with my body. Yeah, yeah. Also, the workout on the road,

the most I workout on the road is I pack gym shoes. Yeah, yeah. Like you pack it and you're like, yeah, I'll work out. And then you just never take them out of your bag. No. And now I'm getting too fat to walk too. I'm like, fuck, I need the elliptical, like I'm hurting my feet walking.

And I'm like, Jesus Christ. I literally needed a elliptical where my feet are locked in place. But I'm gonna look for a water treadmill. That's not a bad idea. Yeah, I like that. I'm gonna be like and walking. You need the Babe Ruth workout

where like those old videos of Babe Ruth where he just sit there and they would like jiggle him. Yeah. Yeah. I think there you go. You worked out, Babe. It's like a board that women used to stand on that would just shake them back and forth.

And that would make them lose their, or you could reach the point where you're just like, I'm gonna be a sauna guy. Yeah. And if you sweat, that's a workout. The executive workout. Yeah. It's the sauna shower.

Yeah. The sauna era is coming. Yeah. The sauna era is absolutely. The sauna era is absolutely. It might be here. It's here, dude. Like, how different is this from just a towel around my neck? You know what I mean? Like, I need to just be one towel over my dick, one like this, hanging out for hours.

I did, I read your profile on GQ and the opening line of it. By the way, congrats on having a profile written. Oh, thanks. That's crazy. That's crazy. Gentleman's quarterly. Yeah, way, congrats on having a profile written. Oh, thanks. Yeah. That's crazy. That's crazy. Gentlemen's quarterly. Yeah, what's your stuff when you're a gentleman?

in a lavender valour, Sergio, Tachini sweatsuit. That's right. Actually, it's this exact suit in lavender. Nice. Amazing. That's another way that you can tell you're getting old.

You just buy the same thing. Bro, different colors. The only thing I have splurged on in my life is track the track suit If I saw a number of what I've spent on tracksuits, it would be so embarrassing But it is it is if you're heavier the tracksuit You put on a track suit and it's like Superman's cape you become the most powerful man in the world It's just a totally different vibe like if you put on that tracks who'd everyone walks around and like damn Dude if I was expecting if I was sitting here in a tucked-in white shirt into some pleated khakis

You would be like get this child molester out of here. You know what I mean? You'd be like fuck with the tracks. It's like no this guy's wheeling and dealing They can business absolutely. Yeah, I look like I own the land that this building was built on you know what I mean Yeah, I'm above the landlord. I just come in here. I'm like very good. How's everything boys? You like the electricity? I have here for you very much too many lamps turn off red too much electricity you spend Where when can I meet when can I meet sports guys? Where is Michael Jordan? I give you guys the sports interviews That's just like the guy. That's who I look like in here. Yeah, the tracksuit is like, that guy's got something going on

and I don't know what it is and I don't know if I want to know what it is. Dude, if you walk into, I've done this a couple times where you walk into a place where everyone's in a suit and you're in a tracksuit, everyone's like, this guy fucking rock. Yeah. Everyone's like, where they're like,

they just won't ask any questions. You could be so dressed down that they're like, this guy's a lunatic for coming in here like this, just won't ask any questions. You could be so dressed down that they're like, this guy's a lunatic for coming in here like this, we're not asking any questions. Now it turns out I'm not in the mafia, I'm just so fat I don't wanna wear clothes that buckle. But still, I protect that air. You're right.

The tracksuit is like a press credential or security vessel everywhere you go. No one's like, hey, why is this guy here? It's like, no, no, someone knows what you're doing. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, we don't ask questions. If you had a golf cart and a track suit, you're getting in, you could get into the White House. I'm the president's bookie. You're just Hunter Biden's best friend. Hunter Biden does have a friend that looks like me. That's fucked up. You should have to White House. They would all all just be like yeah, I think he knows Hunter. Yeah He's got a no hunter. Yeah, that's Hunter's pussy connect

That's the guy brings him over. That's the guy who dropped off the laptop. Yeah Well, I was like yeah, let me see my nephew. You could take a look at you laptop How many more pictures are we gonna get out of that laptop? It seems like he had like thousands of pictures in there all. He took a lot of pictures of him smoking crack. That's awesome. I love it. I'm so pro hunter. It's because it's like so many politicians kids like steal our money and then what make

foundations. Yeah, that's exactly what shit like that. Like no dude, let's fucking smoke crack get our dick sucked. That if look if look, if I can't have universal healthcare, at least the people robbing me are having a good time. And just think about it anyway. Yeah, like Chelsea Clinton, she's got probably some crazy foundations to help and all these people. Doesn't really do anything for us. Hunter Biden is just giving us laughs and content. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. No, that's the way to do it. If you're going to be

corrupt, like, look, Saddam Hussein's sons, except for like all the murder and stuff, having like a fucking tiger that you make gold armor for and shit like that, that's awesome. That's so much cooler than the foundation for somebody with lupus. Whatever the fuck. That probably most of it's not even going. It's mostly going to spend on like in the office. Yeah, I heard like, yeah, you're just, you're just buying art and laundering money. Yeah, exactly. I want to see it just all out in the,

like Hunter Biden makes mistakes that like we would make. Totally. And he's the president. And he's not in a secret pedophile island. It's all out there. Yeah, you know what I mean? He's paying for his parents. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That the numbers, it was like a million dollars in hookers in the last five years. He was just putting up like Wilk Chamberlain. Yes, that's so sick. He'd be so fun to hang out with for one night. Like, like, he should actually have, there should be a cameo for Hunter Biden. Are people like Hunter Biden? Just like, one night come party with me. Just chill with Hunter. Just chill with Hunter for a night. I'll show you my, I can show you my world. Yeah. When, when Joe's over, dude, when,

when Joe's dead, he might become that guy. He might rent himself out as a party companion. Yeah. We're going to get back to Stavie in a second. He's brought to you by Part of my Cheese Steak. That's where I part my Cheese Steak, sponsoring the Africa Bowl. Billy's over in Kenya. Uganda right now, Trang.

Hold on to your taste receptors because we're introducing the stars of the show, the chicken bacon ranch cheese steak, the irresistible chicken tenders, and the monumental big cat combo. I'm also going to say you can order your billy's way, which is when you get the sandwich and then you turn it over. That would be a good way to tie it into the Ugandible. Whether you're a cheese steak aficionado, a finger food enthusiast, or simply someone who values the art of comfort cuisine, this menu has something for everyone. We're now in part of my cheese steak.com.

That's part in my cheese steak.com, also available on Uber Eats. And now here's more Stavvy. I want to talk about your special real quicks. So last time you were on, you had a special on YouTube. That's right. Now we're on Netflix.

What was that transition? I mean, is that like a no-brainer? Or were you actually thinking like, well YouTube was kind of sick because people could just watch it and you know, it got to a lot of people. Yeah, I mean, it was, I definitely thought about it because YouTube, I mean, the internet, like I said, has been the best thing in the world. I mean, you guys know it. Like our whole careers, our lives are hysterical because of the internet. Like I said, from come down to like just literally crowd work, like just posting clips and like, and then my YouTube channel too, like tons of people

find me from YouTube. And so I thought about it for sure, but it just came down to like Netflix is the biggest streaming platform. Like we forget about that because we made our shit on the internet and we're like, it's just, but it's like there's so many other people to reach. Yeah, where it's like just some random regular motherfuckers that are watching suits, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, they're not on YouTube. They're not like clicking off of like, you know, they're not going from like, um, was Jesus black. You know what I mean? Like was they're not going to like, you know, they're not going to like conspiracy YouTube over to like stand up. You know, they're just like watching, you know, they're not gonna like conspiracy YouTube over to like stand up, you know. They're just like watching, you know,

they're sad the office is gone from Netflix and they need something you to watch. And it's like, let's fucking, let's expose myself to them. You know what I mean? How many of those people do you think turned it on? They're like, what the fuck?

Yeah. Hopefully a lot. Yeah, I was watching the crowd and then I got this, you know, recommended me. What. Yeah, I love that idea of just people being like what they and I probably laughed I would love yeah half-word discuss it half left and we take that half the left and then we fucking you know Double it up do the next one, but yeah, it's just sick. I mean it's also the thing of like you know I know I know you guys that I mean, not to bring up like fucking, I guess it's like imaginative bar stool van talk hadn't failed.

That's kind of a netflix. I mean, like imaginative like, and you guys got were fucks for being two. Like I think it was too early because I think if I tried to make a mainstream thing back that like, like that was cancel season, dude. I feel like now people are kind of over it. You know what I mean? Like if you guys wanted, within a heartbeat, you could have a fucking legacy TV show,

but you realize like, fuck it, we'll make it ourselves, who gives a fuck, you were in a hilarious studio. I don't have the fucking barstool resources, you know? And so it's cool to be with Netflix where they have, you know, they've put out some of the best specials in the last 10 years, or, you know, they've put out some of the best specials in the last 10 years, you know, and like the modern iteration of standup,

that's pretty much the major one. Yeah. Like, so it was just a cool thing to do. They were great to work with. I was shocked. Like, I was worried they'd be like censoring shit. They didn't give them, they were cool, dude. Except for the fat little slut.

Except for not being able to call it fat slut, that little slut, which, you know, I've tried to call two specials in a row and I don't think it'll ever happen. Yeah. Have you heard from people you went to high school with that didn't know that you were doing stand up and they're like, oh shit, Stavis on my TV right now?

Yeah, yeah, now it's not only them, but also people and relatives in Greece and shit, I can't pretend I'm not successful anymore. That's the hard part. It's like now it's like, fuck, if there's some expense in the village, I got a spring for it. You know what I mean? Like, I got a fucking, I got it. But yeah, that's another thing. It's like, people just do, like, you know, people were just like, holy shit, to them it felt like it feels real where it's like, you know, I've been

out here for whatever, however long since I was 19, whatever. It's just been going good the last couple of years. But yeah, there is something perception wise where it's just like, you get on Netflix, you get on this like mainstream thing and people are just like, oh, yeah, I guess, I guess you're a real comedian. Yeah. You thought about maybe Yannis sitting down on a couch and he opens up Netflix and then boom, there's Stavvy. He's probably seeing you.

He's in the special thanks. Yannis did the combo last night. Oh, he's in the special thanks. Y'all should have to come, but we've lost. I love that. You're the special thanks for inspiring me to be a champion. Yeah. Yeah. We have, have people tried to cancel you at any point? I don't think so.

Yeah, I think so. It is kind of over and also comedians, I ask you like, don't give a fuck like that. Right, comedians have lived in a world that it's, it's nice that you guys be like, we're making people laugh. Yeah. That's the job. Totally. So we do say stuff that it's it's it's nice that you guys be like we're making people laugh. Yeah, that's the job Totally so we do say stuff that is like crazy. It's to laugh totally an opt-in or opt-out let's have a good time

Right, you don't like it great. I don't give a fuck find go away I don't give just come to the show where don't it does feel like the world is moved to that spot And it's a lot nicer where people like guess what it's not for you. Don't listen to it totally Yeah, so I don't know. I mean, they might still, whatever, who gives a fuck. At the end of the day, it's like, that's why starting your own thing. I mean, that's why even what, like,

when I first left Come Town, I was like, damn, I don't want to do a podcast, but then it did like a few months later, kind of dawned on me like, yeah, it's good to just have your own thing no matter what. Like, just again, looking at you guys, looking at everybody's done like their own internet thing. Even other comics, it's like a podcast is just like this. You get to connect with your own thing no matter what. Like just again, looking at you guys, looking at everybody's done like their own internet thing. Even other comics, it's like a podcast is just like this.

You get to connect with your fans like once a week, whatever. And it's like, look, end of the day, they cancel me. I'm not allowed to fucking be on Netflix or. You still have your podcast. I put my own shit out and then, you know, I'll make my own like Shane just fucking, Shane Gillis just like just made his own sitcom. Yeah. Like filmed his own sitcom. Yeah.

Like filmed his own thing. And it's like, that's the thing. At the end of the day, that's what's cool about comedy and having your own audience. That's why I'm so grateful for people that just directly go to my shit, go to my shows, like subscribe to my shit. It's like, I'll just be able to make whatever the fuck I want. And Shane is a perfect example where it's like,

he, the SNL thing happened. That was kind of the height of the cancellation era. And then he just made like a 10 million times funnier SNL. He's like, you guys. Exactly. You know, Shane is almost like cancellation Jesus. Yeah. Like he died for all our sins and now no one can get canceled anymore.

He's like, it's true. He'll like cancel me. I guess I'll get more famous. Yeah. I mean like more fans. Yeah. He will like me even more. He fucking defeated the nerd, the fucking title get more famous. Yeah, I mean like more fans. Yeah, it will like me even more. He fucking defeated the nerd, the fucking

Taddle Tail nerds. Yeah, that one guy who tried to cancel, I'm sure he just. Oh, every day. And he's like, I thought it would work. I thought my life would be fulfilled tearing down someone else. Yeah.

Yeah. Now that's a good. That's a pencil. That's a total pin. So yes, that's absolutely. You do have's a good squeak. That's a pencil. That's a total pin. Yes, that's absolutely. You do have like a very hardcore audience. Like your fans fucking love you. Yeah, and with the clips that you put out,

I know you do a lot of crowd work. Do people like do they start going to shows wearing stuff, hoping like I hope stuff roast me. Oh, that's so funny. Somebody comes looking stupid as shit. Yeah. Like people, some people will yell out or like, you can tell when somebody really wants to be a part of,

like they, but it's like, that's just not how it works. Right. Like, you're not, it's not gonna be funny if you have some shitty joke that you've thought of, or you know what I mean? So it's like, I try to avoid that, and I just go, the magic is in someone who doesn't want to be talked to.

The magic is in like someone who, in someone who even just doesn't really know why they're a friend of a friend. You can kinda sniff it out and it's like, let's just have a real conversation. Let's get to know you or somebody who yells out their thing and they have something in their head. They're like, Ron Jeremy, they've just been thinking about a thing I've heard 500 times.

And then you let them bomb and then you're like, what's going on with you, man? Do you like your father? You know, and then you just like, why do you feel any to yell out like that? You know, and it's like, you psychoanalyze them and shit. And it's, it's the best. I mean, it's fun to just fuck around with people and uh, and that's, that's like only a little part of the show. I only do like, honestly, if you come see me for an hour, I'll do 10, maybe 15 minutes of crowd work, just to kind of, just to feel like you're not a robot. Like,

I always did that even before I put crowd work clips out. I was like, let's make this feel like a live show. Yeah, it's different than every show you do. Exactly. That's what's cool about standing. It was like, every show is a little different. Yeah. But yeah, we, we try and avoid that shit. But there was one guy who came to a special taping dressed, like in full tiger print. And I thought he was fucking with me. And I think he was just like a tech bro who just was trying, like those fucking nerds get money and they'll understand how to be cool. And so they just overdo it. And I swear to God, I didn't fuck with them for 20 minutes of the special taping because I

thought he had a developmental disability. Like I I was like, there's no way, oh, grown man, you know what I mean? He was like, here on his own, would dress like this, and then, you know, I figured out he wasn't. Yeah, we've got a guy sitting in this room on the booth right now that's going to do an hour of stand-up in Vegas. Yes, probably. So Hank is going to have to be a stand-up comedian.

Full hours, set in Vegas. Do you have any tips for him? First timer, get up on station. He's very nervous. Yeah, he should be. So Hank is gonna have to be a standup comedian full hour set in Vegas. Do you have any tips for him first timer? Get up on station there. He's very nervous. Yeah, he should be. It's good. It's gonna be horrible.

It's like an hour is a long time, bro. That sucks. Big long. Our idea was for him to just get up there and just be the world's first cover comedian and just tell everybody else's joke. Yeah, I thought he should do Carlos Mincey as set. Right. Right.

Along Like literally five years probably before I did an hour Easily and even that was like tough.

I was like, fuck, this is gonna suck. You gotta get up beforehand. You gotta do a couple sets of curls. I know. Yeah, you gotta do, cause it, and it's gonna be so, cause when you realize how fast it goes, cause you're gonna have,

this is what happens when everybody starts comedy. It's like, you think you have an hour easy and then you get on stage and it's like, I don't have a minute. Two and a half minutes is over, yeah. And it's over, yeah. Wait, Hank, you wanna try your material? I don't have an hour easy and then you get on stage and it's like, I don't have a minute. Two and a half minutes, it's over, yeah, it's over, yeah. Wait, Hank, you wanna try your material? I don't have any. No, I told you, you did like 30 seconds of your bit.

I spent a little bit of time on Friday night just like looking at a piece of paper, starting to write ideas and like, there's not much. We're back here, we're back here. You're day-porting or? I like that you like sit alone with yourself. And you're like, there's nothing here. Nothing, I got nothing.

I got to have, I'm bombing for me. Okay, Hank. I like callbacks. That's the whole, you know, stand up. I appreciate that the standups that like, you know, set something up and then come back to a 45 minutes later. Okay.

That's a goal. All right. That's on the vision board. Sounds like you have, that means you have 10 seconds. You have one joke and then you mention it the 40 minutes later. All right. Oh, he's got he's got 10 seconds He says the first joke and then 10 seconds later. He does a call By the way, I love that because it's like no dish. This is clear Hank really is going through like the motions of being in You comic because that's like callbacks are like you know complete bullshit

you comic because that's like callbacks are like, you know, complete bullshit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah embarrassment tank. You know what I mean? That's good. I do that. That's the other thing I realized. I've kept the private life private with dating life last private last three years. That I can open up. I think there's some stuff that I've wanted to say that's funny that I just haven't, but I think that this is a good opportunity for that. I think so. That'll give me like a minute. Mm-hmm.

That's what I'm gonna do. All right, we're 59 down. All right. I can do a song. So this is my other plan. I get one song So I want to get like 30 minutes song To break it up and then finish and maybe the last 30 minutes is just roasting my co-workers

You think you could do that for 30 minutes. No The like I'm just like somebody said to roast that were produced and had 10 of the funniest people in the world The like the company central roast that were produced and had 10 of the funniest people in the world Those were one hour and those were a lot of editing and a lot of writing went into it You think you could do a half of that by yourself. That's might just get mean Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd say the meanest stuff about all that would be awesome Yeah, I think if it's a one-man show I think you're going about this the wrong way Be fake dramatic like you know, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like a magic trick to do like, you know, what? What? You can learn all magic trick. Yeah, but you'd be like, I was going to learn a five magic show.

I was like, terrible. It was going to be the worst magic ever, but I was going to try to do a dance number. Why not a dance number? Oh, you get some top shoes. Yeah, the top shoes, I could be like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, dude, you're going about this the wrong way. An hour of standups, you're not gonna be able to do that. It's gonna be crazy. But you could do 15 maybe? You should. You should smash some fruit. Oh my God. I would style. How do you smash some shit?

Oh, this is great. This is great. You gotta break it up into segments. You could probably do 15 minutes of just standup, right? Not gonna be great, but you could, if you, what you thought was gonna be going to that hour, you could do in 15, then we have the song. Let's say it's six minutes, you know what I mean? Then we have a dance now.

Then you have a dance number. Then, uh, magic trick magic. And I know you said no question from the audience, but what if he did like a, what if he did like, you know, those fake people that pretend they were psychics? What if they pretended to do like, what if he did like a 10 minute segment where he's like, it's with a D. Somebody's mother with a D recently died. You know what I mean? Like, I was trying to be a psychic. There's a lot of like, you know why Sejrk the entertainer got his name

Sejrk the entertainer, because he would book himself on shows where he did not have an hour and he was called the entertainer because he would like play the saxophone. He would sing, he would dance. We got Hank the entertainer here. Oh. We got Hank the entertainer here. Oh, we got Hank the entertainer here.

What if you got, what was that stupid instrument we all learned? The quarter. The quarter, the quarter. We got a record, did some hot cross buns. Yeah. I got to save it. I was going to learn a song in the guitar.

If I can do multiple songs, that changes everything. Well, I think there should be one sing song, where you sing. Oh, you can get the whole crowd singing. And then one instrumental, that could be fair. Yeah We can allow the crowd to sing a song together. Yeah, Mr. Brightside or something. Yeah Stars born song What about what about Hank? What about like you should also think like NBA halftime stuff like maybe we get a dog

Hank, what about like you should also think like NBA halftime stuff like maybe we get a dog like those type of things Unicycle, yeah fucking plates on a unicycle Yeah, we do have the unicycle here. Yeah, I can't fucking ride it You can learn yeah, I'm ready to learn unicycle, buddy Yeah, you're going about this wrong way. Yeah donkey show you get fucked in the ass by horse That's the big closer Tijuana donkey or give it up. Or if you want to do more tame ping pong balls coming out of your ass.

You can be wearing a kilt and then you just go, they come out of your ass. They don't have to show your ass, but they could pop out. Drop this. Yeah dude, that's a part of my balls. That's a good commercial for part of my balls. They come out of Hanks ass.

Oh the lottery, you do a lottery drawing out of Hank's ass Get up there. You're like I have one number in my ass And whoever guesses it in the audience gets some fun, you know gets a lottery ball machine gets the ball. Yeah There's a lot here dude. Yeah, all right So 15 minutes of stayin up and then build out the rest. Yes There's a lot here. Dude, yeah. All right, so 15 minutes of staying up and then build out the rest.

Yes, I think that's fair. Even if it's bad, it's gonna be so bad that it's good. It's gonna be bad, it's gonna be even. You don't have to say even. Yes, yeah. I agree. You're holding out hope. Part of my take is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Stavis also brought to you by the farmer's dog. I personally use the farmer's dog. Blake loves the farmer's dog. The turkey. I was looking at the turkey meal that they send over and it looks like you could

actually eat it yourself as a human being. I would not mind eating the farmer's dog. It's food quality, it's good ingredients, it's human quality food. That's what I'm getting at. And the results of switching your dog's food from kippled afresh can seem like magic. When a senior dog starts acting like a puppy again and the pickiest of eaters can't wait for dinner time, you might think some spells were cast, but the farmer's dog doesn't use any source for your secret ingredients to make their fresh food just science. Actually last night, Blake was hanging out with me down the basement at about 5.30. He eats at about, I'd say 6.30 to 7. Every night, 6.15 Blake was gone. I was like, oh, what's he chewing on? You don't want to leave a

puppy running around the house all by himself. I go upstairs and he's sitting next to his dog dish because he's just waiting for the farmer's dog. He's drooling. He loves this stuff. If you have a picky eater, the farmer's dog is the best thing you can ever do for them. It's the best option for dogs at all life stages because it's not kibble, it's not canned goo. Just real healthy food. They're made from healthy ingredients to human food safety standards and blakes up to 75 pounds right now is grown like a weed and it's because of the farmer's dog. The coats better, the breath is even better, the poops are easier to pick up. The farmer's dog isn't just fresh high quality food, they also send the food pre-portioned specifically for your dog based on their unique nutritional needs.

The farmer's dog's been keeping Stella healthy for years and years and years even before they were a sponsor. They've helped Blake grow. It's a great, great quality dog food. I highly recommend it. And you can get 50% off your first box of fresh, healthy food at the farmersdog.com slash PMT. Plus you get free shipping. Just go to the farmersdog.com slash PMT to get 50% off.

That's the farmersdog.com slash PMT. And now here's more savvy. Um, should we talk about the Ravens? Let's do it. How are we feeling? We're feeling good. I mean, look, I have to take, there's, you know, you're of two minds, right? Where you're, you're the objective, like, I do think they're the best team in the AFC. I think like, I, I still believe in Lamar. I still think the defense, even though fucking Stafford shredded us. It was fucking annoying. Now, he did get a couple insane throws where it's like, I was like, what the where did this come

from? Why is he good again? Like, the two, like couple of touchdowns, that motherfucker was off his back foot with the somebody was coming at him clean and he got a couple of those throws off. So you can't even really be mad at the defense, but objectively, I still feel good, but there is that fan, like, doomsday shit where it's like, why are we the classic team that, like, you know, the narrative of playing down to your opponent? We're the classic. We can't step on throats. Like, you had a couple of times where you've done it with the C-hawks and lions.

Yeah. We didn't, though, because when you blow a team out, there's never even that moment. It's not stepping on their throat. That's not taking the game over in the third quarter and being like, fuck this. You're, you've been hanging around all game. Now we go up by three scores. Yeah. That's, we've been up by fucking, there's, it was never endowed.

The Browns game is the one that concerns me the most. That was the old school Ravens where it's like the Ravens were up, whatever, two touchdowns. And it's like, this is, this is the moment in third quarter. If you score here, the game's over and you let them back in and you lose. But it's not just that game. I mean, the fucking Steelers game. The cool fucking, the Colts.

We lost the fucking Colts. Like that, like, and I'm a little worried. I don't know, man. It's, I don't want to, I don't want to say anything sacrilegious. But it's like to come out of a buy and to have some weird coaching moves. It's just like I'm a little worried about my boy Johnny. I don't know dude It's like it's like we didn't you should look fucking awesome after a buy when you've got such a sick team and I thought the the way we handled the first half yesterday was weird

We didn't use our timeouts that challenge flag where it's like dude. It's a fucking touchdown What are we doing here? Why I mean you have a sick arm? use our timeouts, that challenge flag, where it's like, dude, it's a fucking touchdown. What are we doing here? Why, I mean, you have a sick arm, congratulations. That was a frustration, fucking awesome. We always talk about how much we love it when a coach, it's basically, but that's the whole job.

It's not to be, we're the fucking, yeah, a dumbass on the couch, like, fucking challenge it. The coach was be like, no, it's a touchdown. Like, they revert to like their inner six-year-old where they try to unplug the like yes, too. And they're just like, fuck this is not count. Yeah, it's not. Oh, it was not a touchdown.

Bullshit. Like when you're supposed to pause Madden when you're when like your friend was like on a great drive. Like, oh, my fingers. Yeah. As he as he released his like, no, I see you collect my thoughts. Sorry, dude. Yeah.

They are they are the best team in the AFC. I mean the dolphins, we don't know about the dolphins. Yeah. You'll find out you get to play the nine and dolphin. I know. Get to is an interesting way to phrase that. But yeah, well, it's you're right. The Raven find out now the Ravens are in a weird position

where they are actually on the field. They're going to get to decide in the last month of the season both one seats in the NFC and it's holy shit. Like if they beat the Niners and dolphins, someone else is getting the one seat in the last month of the season both one seats in the NFC and a holy shit like if they beat the Niners and dolphins Someone else is getting the one seat in the NFC and then the Ravens are gonna get in the NFC Yeah, it's loose to both it's gonna be dolphins and Niners. Yeah, no, that's true. Yeah, it runs through both the more baby That's right the whole the whole fuck an NFL runs through Baltimore

Yeah, I mean, I think I still believe in Lamar. I think he's the fucking man. And I think we could have a really because here's what I'm telling myself, because it's always like, don't step on next. Like, you don't get they don't get up for for the games that aren't at, you know, like that lines game was such a huge state. Like everybody's talking about going into that week. Everyone's like, now we find out about these teams. And I think that's when they played awesome. So the same thing can be said with this dolphins and the Niners games where it's like, all right, if you motherfuckers show up here, then I'm not scared because that means come playoff time where the stakes are so high, you'll, you'll be ready to go. Now does it does what does

it scare me that we might have like a, if we don't get out of it, like the first round is when I would feel the worst about the Ravens in a weird way. Because they, because it's like, what if they, doomsday scenario play Joe Flacco? Well, I'm looking at it right now. So doomsday scenario play Flacco.

If the season ended today, you'd have the buy. We don't know what the dolphins are gonna do on Monday and a football, but right now you'd have the buy and then you would potentially play flacco in the second round Hilarious at home the prodigal son that would be the Hardest flacco revenge game that would be brutal dude that would be like you know how the clinch goes said they never they're they couldn't fight because their Might would be too sad. Yeah, I would be the clinch goes mom watching that where it's like flacco versus the Ravens I would be like, oh don't hurt him. Joe, please, just throw a couple of picks for all time.

Say it for us. Um, so I don't know. I'm, I'm, and they'll get me wrong again. There's, it's fucking, the team is awesome. I love the, the T, it's so cool to see like the defense just, I thought they were going to be solid, but they've been playing out of their fucking minds. And I think the, I mean, the past rush is crazy. The, the secondary, the secondary can scare me at times. Like that last

drive, you know, we were we just kind of I would like to have one one more great fucking DB, but whatever we can we can figure that out next year. But I do think this this team has has played fucking awesome. I believe a little more things are lining up nice, especially we get Andrews back. That would be fucking crazy. But if we get it back for the playoffs, even though I like likely, I think he's fucking good too. But yeah, dude, I'm all over the place.

Because this team, the highs have been so high and the lows have been so low. It's a classic team that just doesn't let you enjoy anything. Yeah, really. And Lamar, he's going through his like seasonal effective diarrhea that he has. Which I respect again, I respect. It's like right after Thanksgiving in the holidays, in a lot of greasy food, he's going through his seasonal effective diarrhea that he has. Which I respect again, I respect. It's like right after Thanksgiving and the holidays, a lot of greasy food.

He just takes like Tuesdays, Wednesdays off every week. Yeah, yeah, just to shit himself. Which again, I like to see myself in my quarterback. You know what I mean? Shitting too much is effective in my career. Yeah, it happens every year. It's like a week where it's like, hey, what's going on with the more? It pepto is the MVP of my dinner with that question. Oh, I said

it after Thanksgiving if you had like, if I had like died and they did a coronary like, you know, autopsy, they'd be like, this man is 98% pepto. Yeah, dude. How is this possible? And doesn't have blood anymore. And the pepto shits are weird. Oh, yeah. So they're green. Yeah. They're dying or jet black Some yeah jet black is tough. Yeah, no, I take pepto like multi vitamins this time of year every day I wake up and take a couple just be safe just trying to stay on paths Yeah, that's that's like our our only thing that we do is guys to monitor our health is we turn around We look in the toilet after we shit. Yeah, that's how we know for a second. I'm currently the last month I'm dying.

Yeah, based on my ribbons out there. Can I get a nice log? Can I know that I'm healthy like a horse? I've got like three packets of zen in my shit. I gotta cut down the nicks like the old kernels. Yeah, I did. I'm not digesting these. It is sick.

I have to say it's incredible to watch Flackout, dude. Yeah. It just feels right. It just, no matter what, his spiral is just so fucking good. Well, that's what it is. It's like a girl you dated in college and you've drifted apart, you know? And it's like now we're in our 50s

and I see her at a wedding. And it's like, you know, she's we're in our 50s and I see her at a, at a wedding. And it's like, you know, she's a little worse for wear, the wrinkles or whatever. She's, but that rack is still singing. That's Flacco's spiral. It's like a great paratiddies that never sag. No matter how fucking old Flacco gets, you could put him theoretically, I think, into his 50s. If he's behind the best offensive line in the league, I think he could play forever, just fucking toss in those beautiful spirals.

And whether it's so exciting too, because it's like touchdown, PI or the worst intercept you've ever seen in your life, all three are in play. Yeah. At every single time he drops back, and it just kills me, it's for the fucking browns. Yeah.

It fucking kills me to see on the fucking Browns and they don't even give them the who wears five in the Browns? Who's got five? Why the fuck the disrespect given flacco 15? Yeah, it's a lot. It's crazy. It's certainly not a retired number. Yeah, but it is true. Flacco has that one. Flacco unleashes one. You're like this is gonna rock. Fuckin' off. Because they're gonna be an awesome completion and interception or a hilarious ball that's like 15 yards past the receiver. Yeah, so it's somebody in the fucking stands, yes, the man. Sometimes he throws it like almost straight up in the air. Like you never play in that game 500 with your friends.

Yeah, yes, yes. That's what Flacco does with his deep balls. Yes, throws it up to the sky. It's beautiful. But that, okay, we talked about the numbers a little bit. Here's my like, I'm starting to get a little bit of an old man take, this is my most Republican take, where it's like the numbers have gotten out of control.

We have to rain it back a little bit. Like there's too many cool numbers out there. You have to be, like, I think, first of all, the zeros, to be number zero, you have to be the best guy on your fucking team. There's gotta be a rule where it's like, to have a weird number, you have to be awesome. I'm seeing too many fucking bench,

Pro Bowl, absolutely. All Pro, zero is all pro. Yeah. And then I think you have to decide only one guy in each position groups gets a cool number. Yeah. Because that way it pops. If you see a zero, which the rapids are a great example,

row quanta zero, that's fucking awesome, right? He deserves it. But it's like, I wanna see a couple of. Rhoquan is here. That's fucking awesome, right? He deserves it. But it's like, I want to see a couple of fifties around them. Yeah. I don't want to see fucking cool numbers. It's like, and we can't get to the point where kickers have, kickers are in the forties. They're in the sixties.

Yeah. It's not fucking college. Let's show some fucking respect to the get to the national football league. Yeah. Yeah, when a wide receiver group doesn't have anyone in the eighties, you're like, this is wrong. No, so wrong.

There should be a rule where it's like the NFL is the side. There has to be one. Two awesome receivers have to in the 80s. You're like, this is wrong. No, so wrong. There should be a rule where it's like, then if I was the side, there has to be one, two awesome receivers have to take 81 and 84 each year. Two pro-bullars, one S-F-81, one S-F-84. Yeah. It's fucked up for not to be a cool 81 or 84. Yeah. Yeah. Like take, there's a whole group of kids in America that are going to be like 10 and 11

or the coolest numbers for wide receivers. What? Sucks. Your fastest receiver should wear 88. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Walking time. Yeah.

Yeah. Like I still liked when a like lineback, a linebacker wearing 40 so you could technically be a fullback. That was cool. Like that's the coolest that you get or 30. Yeah. That was always sick when the linebacker at 30. But even like it's getting out of control.

And like clowny, I love that he's fucking rejuvenated on the Ravens. He's played fucking awesome It's fucking weird. He's wearing 24. It is really strange. It's fucking weird You're right. It does look like college football and I hate that like and look I'm not a guy. I know you guys love college. I'm a fucking pro football guy That's all that's the football I like fucking edge rushers need to be wearing 90s or if you're really fucking cool, maybe a 50 right right? Yeah. Maybe you go LT with it or whatever the fuck. And if you're running back single number, then you have to also return ponds. Yeah. That should be the one you can't be fast. You can't be a fat running back with a single

number. I was saying you should get into college football. It's the best. It's just too much. I know, but it's endless and I'll pop into the big. I treat it like, you know, I watch all the big games. I watch the you know I'm happy when there's high level football on a Saturday. That's fucking sick like I I like rooting just on principle against Alabama You know that the SEC championship was cool, but I can't I can't commit to know I love a lot of time Yeah, I'm barely keeping it together between hoops and yeah like I will say the NFL has Burrowed back into my life and like when we first met I actually yeah, like I will say the NFL has burrowed back into my life and like when we first met, I actually was not, I was barely watching

the NFL because of Lamar. How much I love Lamar has really gotten me fully back into the NFL like I when I was a teenager. So it's, I can see a world where I get into college all over the place, but it's too much. It's a lot of time. It's a lot of time. I like cherry picking. I like just watching the good ones.

Yeah. Yeah. It's a bad one, so the bad one. This isn't even football, man. Yeah. The, the, the, the, the, who is it? Iowa that just,

that has just a good punter. He's punter. Yeah, they had a thousand more punter yards in offensive yards. I mean, you have an illness. Yeah, you're saying that with Glee, it is crazy. It's so much fun to watch. No, because like watching a team like Iowa play football so much fun because you're like, if they just keep it a one score game, they will get like a punt block or a fun return. Yeah. And then they'll win the game

and people will be so mad. Like how this happened again. That's a team where everyone should have to wear a number in the 60s. Yeah, in the quarterbacks should have been wearing like 63. Like, three wicked numbers. It's a great game to have on like a secondary TV. It's a great side dish of course. Sure. Sure. Sure. If that's your main course, if you're an Iowa fan, you fucking hate it. Yeah. And you hate that other people, you get embarrassed. Of course. And other people are watching your team. Yeah. Please don't watch my team. It affects me personally. Of course. Let me put you on a new

like old man yells at cloud thing. Please. We've noticed a serious. Please. Have you noticed the mouthpieces? Yes. I had the dangly mouthpiece. It's so fucked up how old I'm getting. Yeah. That's not safe. Yeah. I got to be watching a guy running. I'm like, uh, watch out, buddy. I think not only is it not safe. I think that if you look at digs or some of the guys that have like the big mouthpieces that flop around, that flops in their field of vision sometimes. Right, right. When they're trying to catch a ball,

like you can't tell me that that doesn't affect you a little bit. Totally, totally. And some guys, this is where it's getting so bad that it's full again. Yeah, the two mouthpieces. The one for show and one for go. Yeah, that's fucked up. There was a dude on Georgia that had three mouthpiece

He was wearing one. He had one hanging from his face mask and then he had another one in his inner all All right, that is fucking awesome. Yeah, I do think the big ones are so but like DK wears one that's like almost like Is this a fetish sex thing? It's a pacifuck What's going on here? Does he want a giant woman to just fucking cradle him and suck his dick while she's doing it? Like, what's going on? That's, I'm like, he's into something interesting. I mean, you mentioned basketball.

Yes. So, oh, by the way, Anthony Walker, linebacker's five on the Browns. That's bullshit. Get the fuck out of here. That's bullshit. How happy that Yannis resigned resigned because I know that there was probably in the back of your head Your guy Sam Moral who's on the show was was doing some heavy recruiting. I was with Sam. He's a thing

I have I like Milwaukee. I love as a city. It's fine, but I would have loved if Janice left I guess I sure you're just rooting for you. I'm just doing it with the box. I have nothing to do with Milwaukee. I was with Sam Drake and you should've seen our text. There's a couple of days where it's like, I think it's happened and dude, you know what I mean? In words, I think, you know, he's like, I DM Thanasis, he say,

you give me a winky face, you know what I mean? Like the fucking dots he was connecting, we're so fucking funny. And the thing is Thanasie, I think he almost did sign with the nicks and that would have really gotten me going. Yeah, I mean, but I do, I mean, I'm happy that he's with Dave. I know they have some shit to figure out.

More than anything, what scares me about the bucks is the coach, I just think like rookie coach. And then, you know, he chased off, fuck, the old, the Blazers coach, Terry, the folks, Stats. They, he was supposed fuck the old the Blazers coach Terry Fuck starts They he was supposed to be like his main assistant which I always love when a new coach has like a guy who's done it before and just the kind of he They left in a shouting match. It's scared. It's a little scary especially because fucking I don't know I hate to say the Boston's good, but it's funny when there it seems like their whole team is kind of

Without poor Zingas, they kind of fall apart, which is hilarious to think about. But I'm happy for him. I think it's cool just to have two awesome guys on the same team, no matter what, even if you would say it would be more sound to have kept drew just because of the defense. Damon Yannis are fucking awesome. Yeah. Sports at the end of the day is like rooting for sick shit. Yes. It's rooting for sick shit. Yes.

It's rooting for cool shit that you've never seen happen. Cool shit, dude. We are the cool shit fucking ceiling is sky high. Yeah. With Damon Yannis on the same fucking team in the playoffs. Are you kidding me? Like to clutch mother fuckers with completely different skill sets. It's gonna be awesome.

That's why I mean, back to the last time I was on here, when we were like, I was worried Lamar was gonna leave. I was like, just fucking pay him because cause I want to root for Lamar. I don't fucking, even if we don't win, the all the Sundays of fun, like get with the fucking crazy spin moves that that's what it's all about. And that's why it's like, yeah, fuck it.

I don't care if the bucks like, I don't care like if analytically it was not the right thing or some people claim it's not. I'm still not convinced. It's fucking awesome. Those guys fucking rule. I was also just so happy because it was, it's always great when like a city like Milwaukee

sticks it to Miami. Totally. And like a New York who won a set. A win for fat people again. Right, it's great. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys don't get everything. Yes, yes, yes.

And it's also not, we're not living in like 30 years ago where yes, if he was in New York, he would probably be a bigger star. But I'm convinced that like with the way pro sports have gone, like Instagram has changed the game. You can hook up with anyone. Anywhere. Yeah, yeah.

You know what I mean? Like a lot of it was like, oh, I want to be in a big city market because I want to be a star and, you know, have all these women. Of course, you're fine now. You're fine, dude. You fly them out no problem. You need a hub. You need a Delta hub, probably.

Um, the other thing, that's the other thing though, it's probably been good for Yann this because I've said this again, two of the most powerful cheating energies is Greek and African. And he's been a family man. He's a family man. You put him in New York, the, the, you know, all that time and Athens might take over. The Greek one, he might have to fucking cheat on his life.

What is it about the Greeks that make him a cheating? It's a cheating culture. It's a... Is it just the guys or the guys and the girls? Um, that's a great point. I think it's, I'm more familiar with the guy, you know, the classic just like, it's just like, you know, men thinking they're like, the patriarch, he's very strong,

you know what I mean? And it's like, it's just like, oh yeah, you can get a little pussy on the side. It's still be a good dad and husband just blowing off some steam The fellas need a break too. I need a break put on your you know go get a silk shirt button it all the way You know button it down for buttons get the gold out you know what I mean? Get a little on your own vacation Well, you're not gonna get head on the sneak on vacation

I guess I'm not gonna go to the beach either on vacation get the fuck out of here paid for this. I deserved a blow off from Steve. I worked hard. I worked fucking hard. Barely managing a diner. I deserve some pussy. I'm a really shitty contractor. I deserve to cheat. I give a phone three times a week with Cisco. He brought over the phone, it was in Karl Marx. I get to get to get to Stranger. Absolutely, absolutely. I know you talk about your dad and your status. He ever said anything like, hey, what the fuck?

No, not really. Really? I think, you know, he said a couple, you know, he's been like, come on, you know, he's like, you know, everybody thinks, he's made like, veiled illusions where he won't just be like, he's like, yeah, and you get to say whatever you want about me You know what I mean like he'll say something like that but it's like all right man

Well, you know this in a weird way that did make our family like My dad my the problems I've had with my father in a weird way have turned around to like they sort of provide for our family Because they turned into bits that like got me noticed and that like made me have a ton of money that now it's like, all right, somebody has a problem in the family because you cheated, we can cover medical bills. You're enabling him. Oh, I'm a pretender. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's all back around. He's a awesome daddy. Yeah, you're yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah him. Right. It's out there, yeah. Exactly, exactly. So it's like we didn't have the uncomfortable like, hey dad. Right, you never have it in person. Right, you do it on stage. It's the Elmanz, he watches it. And then we can go,

we can literally go have Kalamari at his friends, at his friends diner. And then you never have to like address it head on. Like a man should never do. Exactly. You got a problem with someone you just, I love that. Actually Hank, if you have any issues with your father now's the that hour you hit him out there

dude. I mean like there's you know. Oh yeah I mean your stand-up is so fucking funny. Thank you brother. Appreciate it. Have you been just traveling everywhere? That's the one thing I don't does never get old where like oh yeah. Because I like when we had Sam on who you're very close friends with he was like I'm addicted to stand- so it's like yeah, Sam has a real problem, right? Sam has like I mean we all do it's different But it's like there's a lot of comedians who don't want to be with their thoughts for even one second Right, and so you're constantly thinking up bitch or constantly doing this shit and it does get too much and I was I think I probably I think I probably kicked the,

I kicked the addiction of pure standup. And I was just like, let me just get, I just wanted to have a Netflix, but I want to have like one big special on like a mainstream platform. And I'm ready to chill, dude. Right. I'm ready to just, because it does get,

you know, you get fucking bored of just like hotels and shit all the time. Yeah. And never being home. And like I've probably been home in the last two years. I've been away from my house much more than I've been in my house. Cumulatively, it's not even close. I've probably been I've probably been home like 10 days straight, like five times.

Right. Like it's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's always been like a little like going around, but you know, whatever. I can't, at the end of the day, it's like, I don't want a real fucking job. And I can't complain because this happened

because I got lucky and got successful the last couple of years. And so it's like, you know, that feeling of like, what if this goes away? Like that's really why I've been on the road nonstop, where I'm like, this could go away tomorrow. And so I got a fucking, and people are buying tick. I think there's like some post-COVID shit happening

where everyone likes to be here. And I think there's like some post COVID shit happening where everyone likes to be and I think comedy is in an interesting place where the experience is pretty good compared to a lot of other live shit. Look football's great going to football game sucks. Yes. Yeah. It's so much better in your house. Same thing with concerts. I'm old now. Dude, I'm not going to stand around for four fucking hours. I need to sit down if I'm going anywhere out. And so it's like I don't think people are going to see live music as much. They're not, or they, they are, but it's like comedy is just like, look, sit down, have a nice time, have a wonderful juice, laugh. It is. It's a good,

it's a really good, and as like, like technology is making football and concerts and shit, less appealing, whereas technology makes it so that you get to find out about stand-ups, and then it'll never take over the live experience. Because a stand-up show is, again, every show is different, everything's special, especially if you fuck the crowd even a little bit, you at least feel like you've affected. And even if a comedian doesn't do any crowd work, the energy of that crowd affects every show. So it's like this cool thing where I think we got really lucky as an art form, where it's

like people find us and then they come see us and it's better live. The other thing that I think comedy has going for it and I'm obviously very much guilty of this, but going to a comedy show on like a concert or a sports game, you can't take out your phone. Right. So you really just sit there. And you like are in the moment for one hour. And like we are all just slaves to our phone.

And so having that like restriction where they walk up and down, they're like no phones. Like this is actually kind of nice. Yeah, yeah. For ones for one, yeah, just put away your Instagram and just listen to a man talk about his little penis for one hour. It is what you brought up though about like,

it all going away. That is why I love your comedy and love you as a friend too, because it's like it is. There are certain people who you can tell they probably take it for granted but you don't. No dude. And like I mean we have the same moments where like I probably three times a week I'm like this is my fucking life dude. This is incredible. Like when I when I like my kids are like are you going to work and they're like what do you can do at work I'm like I'm gonna watch football. I can't help even fucking homework.

I have to fucking three leg parlay. That's about the hit. My job is to watch TV. I'm gonna go to work. What the fuck? To watch football for six hours, then I'm gonna play a little bit of basketball. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then I got a golf simulator. I'm gonna go. Yeah, I can't go under the recital. Me and Uncle Jerry might lose $50,000 today. And it will be funny for people to watch us lose it. Oh, I had that moment on Saturday with Army Navy. I explained my son is like starting to get interested in sports. And he was like Army Navy was on.

He's like, which team are we rooting for? And I had the over and I was like, no, no, we're rooting for whoever has the ball. How old is he? Six, four and a half. He's asking for the other concept of the over and four and a half. He always says like, are we rooting for the blue team or the white team? I was like, whoever has the ball, we're rooting for now.

That's our favorite team. You have warped that child's understanding of competition so much. Well, listen, I've said many times on record like three kids. I got one in three shot here. I want one of the kids to just get smart enough at math that they can make me a gambler a system That's it now be my goal like they one day they come and they're like hey dad Check this out and I go to their computer. It's an XL for right and they're like look at this Yes, they're like I back tested it. It's 54% yeah

Taking over the family business yeah, yeah improving it a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're the best barely losing. Yeah, it's like, wow, find a way for me to barely lose. That's beautiful. Yeah, he's gonna be playing, he's gonna play kickball. Yeah, he's gonna be like taking the under and then it in fucking recess. It's like, no, catch that catch that catch that. That'll be fucking awesome. I think he's maybe like a participation trophy kid because he's he's rooting for the other team. He just thinks that sports is about everybody's school. He's like, no, I got five laughing taffies on the over. Make me proud. Make me proud.

When is the first time? What was the first wager you ever placed? It was the first, the first bet I ever won was when I was 12 years old on a family vacation in Key West Florida. I won $100 on a turtle race. And that was it. That was it. I was like, I on a family vacation in Key West Florida, I won a hundred dollars on a turtle race. And that was it. That was it. That was it.

I was like, I got a hundred dollars for this. And from that moment on, I was like, this fucking rock. Wow. Imagine the fucking, the alternate universe where you lost. Yeah. And you're just some fucking guy. I probably would have just been staying at the bar and chasing it. Yeah, yeah.

No, but that was the moment where it all clicked. And I was like, that was fucking fun. I fucking won because the turtle went a little bit faster than the other slowest turtle. Yeah, yeah, but that was the moment where it all clicked I was like that was fucking Fucking one A little bit faster than the other so I saw if you ever seen the turtle races They're amazing no dump a bunch of turtles out in a circle and then the first one to make it to the outside of the circle It's the best you just sit there screaming at Turtles that's that's fun. Yeah, and I got a crisp a hundred dollar bill when you're 12 Radible a hundo back then serious. Oh, dude. That's fun. Yeah, and I got a crisp $100 bill when you're 12. This is it. Radible. A hundo back then.

Yeah. Serious. Oh, dude. That's awesome. Absolutely. That's a new copy of Madden. Yeah. Couple fucking cheese steaks.

You know, every one, whatever you want, 100 goes a long way. Got some movies a little bit. Oh, beautiful dude. All right, so what's next? I'll go to last question, rowback question. RHOBACK.com, most comfortable clothes out there. If you're not wearing a tracksuit, you should be wearing rowback joggers, the shorts,

the sweatshirts, the Q-Zips, the polos, I was wearing a vest. I have a fleece now, rowback has it all. rhobac.com, use promo code take, 20% off for first purchase. So what's next year? Is it just travel, travel, travel? Or is there like something big? No, bro, I'm fucking taking some time.

Like, I feel like the last, every time I've been here, I've talked about how I'm gonna take some time off. Yeah, you're just like us. There's no. But it's happening. It's the worst feeling in life is to be the guy, and this happens to me all the time, where I'm like, just gotta get through this week. Yes, dude, it's been that for two years.

That's it, every week. I'm like, what the fuck? I swear, I swear to you, I will be take, like, I'm been that for two years. Yeah, every week. I'm like, what the fuck? I swear, I swear to you, I will be take, like, I'm not touring for a lot of next year. Like, I'm pushing it way to the end of next year. I am actually taking some time off. I did a movie called Let's Start a Cult that hopefully we're trying to get into some festivals.

I wrote it with some buddies. I was in it, so I'm trying to, you know, try to be Hollywood halkey's a little bit, trying to act a little bit. But honestly, I'm'm trying to, you know, try to be Hollywood halkey's a little bit, try to act a little bit. But honestly, I'm just trying to chill and be a human being, like, living, I haven't lived in, I love New York, great city, I know you guys just abandoned us, but it was fun and it's like, I want to actually live there.

Yeah. So I'm just gonna try and chill, you know, Stobby's world still. I'm really proud of the special and that kind of, the way those work, they kind of bounce around for like, you know, six months, people discover it. And so I'm just gonna like the special and that kind of, the way those work, they kind of bounce around for like, six months, people discover it.

And so I'm just gonna like put my feet up, hang out, chill out, try and get slightly less fat, where I don't have to worry about dying every time I take a bunch of drugs, you know? It's tough when you have an awesome night and you're like, I got fucked up, I ate, fucking ribs, I got it, maybe I took a dick pillar too. And then you're after a beautiful night,

you're just laying in your bed, you're like, damn, I hope I wake up. I'm like, how much stress hurts? I'm fucking breathing. My heart rate is up, and I'm just relaxing in theory, so trying to get slightly less fat. And yeah, dude, I'm just gonna chill, go to some fucking nicks games,

go to some Ravens games, I'm trying to get to, I'm trying to, I'm thinking about going to the Dolphins game. Just even though it's better to be at your house. It's like, I feel like I need to just one of these games and I've been on the road every other game. So I might get there. So yeah, dude, just chillin' the fuck out. I'm sure that will like reenergize your material too, just being like a normal. Well, that's the other thing. It's like, yeah, you can't really, I even felt like at the end of this year,

I was just doing a little too much about traveling and about, and it's like, that's not what being a human being is. And there's so many, I am so stunted in so many other ways that it'd be nice to fill it in a little bit. You know what I mean? Not just being a guy who goes around does stand up and shit, you know what I mean?

Like, be, have some fucking life experiences and just, yeah, hopefully come back the next year with an even better special because I actually like took some time and like, you know, lived life. How does one find material? Where do you discover it? I would say just take a year off, Hank,

and just, oh, yeah, no problem. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, but I would say, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, I was gonna say no golf, year off, Hank. Oh, yeah, no problem. No, no, no, no. Yeah, you got to put it over there. I would say, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, I was going to say no golf. Just just walk or yeah, whatever, we can make a Faustian bargain where it's like no golf, but you'll have the best hour of comedy ever. Yeah, you do it. No.

A day, a day, a day, a day. It's an ever, bro. It's only an hour, I can fucking, I can bomb for an hour. What about, what about some called trick shots in your hour? Yeah, that I can do. It would be fun if you had the, you know, the bombs at the trick shots. That'd be funny.

Yeah, but not even having it. It's passing balls in the audience. Yeah, not having the stand up like, but having the headset mic like your preacher. Yeah, that's good. Walking around. Preacher Janet Jackson even. Yeah, like the, you should do a,

you should fabricate a story about your lower to fair with the The lady from fucking from the airport videos. Oh You should talk in detail What happened Events have a be Hank's kiss and tell where you just get real rappers. With every sexual experience you ever had. Yeah, but like insanely, Greg. Yeah, real Greg.

Talk about like, you know, pubes and ingrown hairs. I should have like that. It's gross, everyone out. I believe in you, Hank. I think Hank, whatever he does, it's gonna be funny for us. It might, you might be just sweating your ass up on stage But I will have a great time. It's I say I just have to hit Variety Hank because it will not be even it would be funny even for you guys It would run out in like 10 minutes if he's just bombing for an hour. Yeah, are you gonna be are you gonna be at the Super Bowl?

If the Ravens there, I will but if not so if you're at the Super Bowl Maybe we'll get stopped. I'd love a minute's opening I'd love if I'm there. I would love to be one of the fucker Well, no, they'll do it too, but like so we'll open maybe MC the night. I'd love to I'd love to because then people would be like, oh, we're actually gonna see and it would be very funny Just you do like a tight 20 Yes, yes, yes, yes, that's what are we watching? 20. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. What are we watching? Yeah. Yeah.

Do you ever, do you ever like uh, uh, uh, equate your standup to like how many laughs you're trying to get in an hour? Like I was like, if I can get like one or two laughs like that, I'll be like one or two in an hour. I'm sorry. Yeah. We talk about like, but like for you, like obviously like a pro, a pro like you're working for both. Do you have a number in mind?

Or is that like just a, I mean, I guess if I really had the ballpark it, I think the average of two a minute. Oh. Oh, that's a lot of laughter. A lot of laughter. All right, so we're like five laughs. I mean, watch friends and there's a laugh

every like five seconds. Yeah, that's insane. No, I mean, it is if you really start thinking about like how to tighten your shit up, like I was worried about that on the special. I was like, I want this shit, cause I tell a story in it too. And I'm like, even the story,

I need to have parts where there's laughter. I get real nervous when there's no laughter. But yeah, dude, you'll be all right, Hank. Just honestly, if it's 60 minutes and you have like, if you have fucking eight segments, you'll be fine, You know what I mean? You got this. All right, that's good, that's a good, good planning.

when you go to bluechew.com. And now here's Jaden Daniels. And now for something completely different. Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest for one question with the quarterback. It is Heisman Trophy winner, Jaden Daniels. First of all, congratulations, incredible, incredible season. I'm sure that it's been a whirlwind. So we're gonna do one question. I'll start.

My question for you, Jaden is, you win the Heisman and then you know how the internet works. People are pulling receipts from, you know, maybe when you transfer from Arizona State, how satisfying was it to be like, people had it wrong when they thought, you know, like I was making a mistake or that I wasn't good,

because that had to have been an all-time, all-time, like, what are you gonna say now? I just won the Highsman. I'll say, you know, I had a lot of those pretty satisfying. Um, you know, everybody had doubted me. Um, from Arizona State, you know, it's just, you know, I'm happy that, uh, you know, I proved them wrong at the end of the day. Yeah.

Yeah. It's got to be great. Uh, my, my question is about the Heisman trophy itself. First of all, it's, it's really heavy. So I'm just curious to know how you've been taking it around. Like, did you take it out to dinner with you that night? Did you take it on a plane? What was the process like bringing the actual trophy around?

So I didn't take it out to dinner with me that night, but I lay, I slept with it in the bed. It slept right next to me. When we came back, I had it on the plane and it was all seat. So it's heavy. So you know, you can't walk too far with your arms or start getting tired. Yeah. Did you buckle it in on the seat next to you? No, it was just it was just sitting right there. I love it. I love it. All right, Jake. Why don't you ask your question? Hey, Jayden Jake, March part of my take podcast. Congratulations on winning the highest min.

My question has to do with your pregame meal. At one point, you went with subway sandwiches, but now it's been reported that you go with an omelet and two waffles. How did that come to be? And can we expect that tradition to continue or maybe change once you go to the next level? Good question, Jake.

Thank you. Oh, I don't know that's a good Jake. Thank you. I don't know. That was a good question. Good question. I don't know. I just ain't feel, I don't like eating too heavy. So like I'm this cool and then we got some fire waffles here at LSU. So usually I just grab two waffles. I don't want to, I don't be grabbing like four or five.

I feel too heavy. Mm-hmm. Two waffles is actually the perfect amount. If I were, if I were like a scout or an NFL GM, and I asked a prospective quarterback, like how many waffles do you eat before a game? If you say you eat two waffles, that's your skyrocketing up my big board right now. If you say one waffle, that's candy ass.

I don't want that. I want two waffles. It's facts. That's facts. Max, what do you got? Hey, Jaden. This is Max. Part of my take podcast. This question is something that we do for all college athletes. I come on the show. We will all name a list of random cities throughout the United States.

Just completely random cities. And you're going to tell me which one is your favorite. I'm going to start with DC, Washington, DC, New York City, Boston, Atlanta, and Las Vegas. Random cities. Las Vegas. Oh, okay. Interesting. Very interesting. Mark Davis doesn't really waffles. He's more P.F. Chang's guy. But then again, this was random.

This was totally random. The city's we just listed. All right, memes. You got a question? How far can you throw football? Oh, good question. Good question. That was a great question.

I think probably over 70. Whoa. Whoa. Hey now. On a good day. Hey now. Well, probably over 70. Whoa. Whoa. Hey now. On a good day. Hey now. What was the, this isn't a question.

It's more just a question. What was the farther she thrown it in the game? I don't even know. That's a good question. Oh, good question though. It was a good question. If I could throw football 70 yards, I would just like go outside and just throw things.

Yeah. Just to see how far they go. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Have a question? Yeah, just to see how far they go. Yeah, yeah. Hank, do you have a question? Yeah, Jayden Henry Lockhart, part of my take, how you doing? Congrats on the whole of the question. How you doing? What's on the pre-game playlist for a high school high school?

I was wondering, what do you listen to before a big game? Good question. Honestly, I listen to some young boy, little baby, and Drake and right away, you know, to give me a hyped up and to the kind of, like, call me back down as I get closer. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Do you have a question for us?

Who did you job on your bed? Who did you job to put to win a bullet in the call? Ooh. Marvin Harrison Jr. Marvin Harrison Jr. Definitely Marvin Harrison Jr. I have nothing but respect for Marvin Harrison Jr. And his father. Definitely Marvin Harrison Jr. I have nothing but respect for Marvin Harrison Jr. And his father. Oh no, I did not I should do Malik neighbors. I don't know if you know him.

I know I'm trying to play. I'm watching turn on turn on his tape. Yeah. Yeah. We when this isn't a question either, but when you were putting up eight touchdowns against Georgia state That was like a video game Yeah, it was that seemed like the funnest time ever you were just in the zone If football is fun at the end of the day. Yeah Also, this isn't a question, but if any of us in this room maybe me Went to the University of Wisconsin and wanted to see

their team win on New Year's Day, would they have to beat Jaden Daniels, PFT? Hypothetically. I think if I were Jaden Daniels, I would probably get ready to go to the next level. Yeah, probably want to prepare. I probably want to spend some time working on the details, maybe go out to a training camp where it specifically worked on 40 time. Yeah. All that stuff to prepare you for the NFL combo.

Jaden, hypothetically, if you were Jaden Daniels, what would happen in the bowl game hypothetically? Um, I would just say, you know, you need something I have to be the LSU team with Jane Danes. You know, we're going to see. Oh, no. I got another question, but it's not for you, Jayden. It's for Big Cat.

Big Cat, if you were Jayden Daniels and Brian Kelly invited you on a recruiting visit, and he made you stand in that circular thing, where he did a little dance, how hard would you have to try not to laugh while that picture was being taken? I would How hard would you have to try not to laugh while that picture was being taken? I would be hard for me not to laugh. What about you, Jayden, if you were Jayden Daniels? Yeah, I'll be laughing. I'll be laughing.

I'll be laughing. I'll be laughing. I'll definitely have that. But the other thing is, you know, what the whole was constantly, you know, it's just TVD, you know, TVD hypothetically. Yeah. TVD hypothetically. To me, the tournament if Jaden Danes, if I was able to, to step foot out there, I guess, Wisconsin or not. So it's TVD.

It's TVD hypothetically speaking, of course, because you're not Jaden Daniels, but you're speaking hypothetically if you were Jaden Daniels. I know. Yeah. Well, Jaden, congrats again, man. Unbelievable. We love LSU and the whole fan base. It's so much fun to watch.

I mean, you're a legend now forever there. That's got to feel knowing that, you know, you're going to have a career in the NFL. It's going to go great, but like you have like a home in LSU and all these fans will always like welcome you as a hyzen winner. It's got to be pretty cool feeling. You know, most definitely it is just being up there. You know, how many great came through LSU. So, you know, I'm happy to be a part of one. Yeah.

Did Joe reach out to you, Joe Burrow? Did he? He did. He did. I thought I talked to Joe a couple of times. Yeah. He's pretty damn good. Yeah. Yeah, he's pretty damn good. Yeah, pretty damn good.

Pretty damn good. All right, well, thank you so much, Jayden, congrats on the Heisman. And if you happen to see Jayden Daniels around the campus, just let him know that, you know, you don't have to play in the bowl game. People will remember the Heisman. The bowl game doesn't even matter.

Like, no one cares. We get the nice gift bag. Yeah. game doesn't even matter. Like no one, no one cares. We get the nice gift bag. Yeah, I love it. I love to know once I see him, if I run into him. Okay, all right, perfect. Yeah, just let him know like no one was going to judge you if you sit out of the ball. In fact, if you see Jayden Daniels,

you should tell Jayden Daniels that the one of the biggest sports podcasts will actually commend Jayden Daniels move to not play against Wisconsin in the bowl game. I love him. No. Okay. Perfect. All right.

Hey, fucking talking to me. I'm Tommy DeVito. I'm the Packet Slayer. Bear should actually sign Tommy DeVito. Every team should be so lucky to sign Tommy DeVito. Those new glasses by the way? They're old glasses. I did just notice that. I found them in my car. I had found them in your late 60s Las Vegas vibe. I think it might be the facial hair too. I've received several very alarming responses

from people regarding my facial hair. Fuck them. Well, their response is like, are you okay? No, fuck them. They're like trying to figure out if there's something wrong. People support our boys here. My facial hair is so bad right now that I'm turning people into Hugh Laurie from house, trying to like figure out

what mystery diagnosis I've got going on. Listen, every, if your face balled like me once every year and a half, you got to try a heat check, see if maybe the facial hair grew in while you were shaving. Yeah. I don't think I'm at that point just yet, but it's probably. No, let him get to you. By the time I, oh, it's not getting to you.

By the time I'm 60, I'm going to have a sick beard. Yeah. All right, Hank, guys on chicks. Guys on chicks question. Thought this would be a good one with Christmas coming. I'm an engineer and I live in Utah. You'll see why this fact is important. And all of my coworkers are men.

I have no idea what to get them for Christmas, like I don't want it to be weird, but also needs something sort of general because they vary in age. I move from the Midwest and my go-to is always coffee, which definitely would have been still a blue this year, or funny socks. The problem here is a ton of them are Mormon and cantering coffee and also don't think slightly inappropriate jokes are funny at all. Help. Okay, so engineer Mormon, gives for engineer Mormon men. Engineer Mormon guys. Fleshlight. I was going to um, actually, I was gonna say funny socks. Milk.

Funny. I feel like funny socks is right up the alley of a Mormon. This is tough. Name one wacky thing about you. Well, I really like, I like fun socks. This is tough. Um, let's see. Cash.

Mm. Cash, rowback, a rowback gift card. Mm-hmm. Actually, it would be great because that's my, the biggest thing is when you're buying a gift for someone that you don't really know so well, you gotta give them an option for an out.

So if you get them a gift card, like they get to decide what they want. Whereas if you get them something like socks, or something like, I don't even wear socks. So you gotta give them the out. Aren't gift cards like massive scams? No, I don't even wear socks. So you gotta give them the out. Aren't gift cards like massive scams? No, I don't think so. Like 70% of card money doesn't get spent.

Yeah, people forgot, I've done my fair share and not spending gift cards. For sure, I think Jeff Bezos owes me $500 with all the Amazon's I haven't spent. Let's see ice cream. Ice cream is good. Ice cream is good. Ice cream always plays. Yeah, get them some ice cream. Ice cream is good. Ice cream is good. Ice cream always plays.

Yeah. Get them some ice cream. Maybe like an ice cream, an ice cream. I would just say going back to rowback, it sounds like you're in quarter zip central. Oh. Just Q-zips. Good point. I can never have enough Q-zips.

Yeah. Yeah. But keep it simple. Don't go crazy. Give them the option to buy something. That's what you got to do Hey fellas, this may be a silly question, but a boy I really liked message me at two in the morning saying He heard a song when he's out at the bars and it made him think of me

He didn't ask me to come over or anything else you'd expect it to am and he's also never really been forward with expressing any feelings towards me But the message kind of made me wonder. God, I sound like a teenager. I think it, we need to know what's the song. Here's the good news for this woman. If you didn't text back right away, or maybe you texted back right away, just know that he did jerk off thinking about you like 10 minutes later. Yeah. That's literally what that text was.

He was trying, he was like, 2 a.m. I'm going to take my shot. I'm kind of not I'm not feeling myself enough to really take my shot. But yeah, he was, you don't get a 2 a.m. text. It's not all that's a horny text. I think it does matter what song it was though. If it was back that ass up, like yeah, from the window to the wall. Yeah, that would be an issue. If it was, oh, I'm still dancing on my own. That would have been sad. He fished. A freshman.

Yeah, maybe he wants you to have a, he worked. Um, it definitely depends on what song it was. It's basically the equivalent of like, what if we kiss tonight? But if he's out of the bars, text you into a M. I don't think he was at the bars. I think he was home with his pants on his, around his ankles.

All right. Yeah. And he definitely regretted sending that to you like 30 minutes after he sent it. 30 minutes. What could be an hour? Yeah. Two hours. We last long. I said to my boyfriend, I can't believe Winter begins next week and we got into our annual

seasons debate. Every year he claims a calendar is obsolete. Yep. His seasonal calendar is fall runs from college football starting until the first big 10 snow game. Mmm. Winter starts then and spring begins when the NCAA tournament starts. And summer starts the day after the Stanley Cup final ends. This guy's kind of right.

Do all men disregard the calendar and judge seasons based on sports? Yeah, the fact that that winter time starts on December 22nd, December 21st is bullshit. Winter starts the day after Thanksgiving. I was gonna say, I actually disagree. I think winter starts the day after January 1st. You don't think December's winter? No, because it's festive. No, December is the way.

But it's something to look forward to. Winter is like when it sucks. That's all January. December's a fun time, because you got holiday parties, you can get drunk at any time. When I think winter, I think January 2nd to March Madness. That's like when it sucks.

I do right after the final four. I think no, no, it's to the beginning of March Madness is spring. I think that Christmas is a winter holiday. It is. It is. It is, but winter doesn't suck when there are holidays in front of you. No, but it's still winter. Right, but it doesn't, winter doesn't suck when they're holidays in front of you. No, but it's still winter. Right, but it feels different. Like January, winter, and December winter are two totally different pieces.

I agree with that. Yeah. One's fun winter. Maybe it's winter, yeah, fun winter and bad winter. Yeah, bad winter. All right, January and February, it's basically like, let's get through this. That's hibernation time. Right, exactly where it's like Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Year's is a fun stretch

where it's like, we can get drunk at any time and be like, we're just festive right now. I think it's, so fall does start the minute college football kicks off. I, people like to say like, oh yeah, like it's actually whatever, like the third week of September. No, that's not true. It's Labor Day. Labor Day is fall. And then I think fun winter is Thanksgiving to Chris or January 1st. Bad winter is January 2nd to the conference championship week. And then it's spring from conference championship week to like the NBA like semi finals. I would say that summer starts when the Pittsburgh pirates are eliminated from playoff content.

That's a memorial day. Yeah. Yeah. But fun winter is like I don't, December never bothers me. It could be cold in December. I'm like moral day. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But fun winter is like, I don't, just December never bothers me. It could be cold in December. I'm like, who cares? Like we're festive.

It's fun. Football's on all the time. It's when football starts to, when you get to the conference championship week and there's only two games and you're like, wait, I have to deal with this weather all week and then there's only two games at the end of it. You know what the worst is? The worst is the Christmas commercials that start before Thanksgiving. Yeah. Let Thanksgiving. There's an order on its own. Thanksgiving happens. It deserves all the accolades. It deserves its moment in the sun. It deserves the score bug on the

bottom of the screen with the cornucopia, the leaves falling, the fruits, the meats, all that stuff. And then after you can start with the Macy's commercials. My buddy of mine has a genius idea that we should absolutely adopt. He calls it the two Christmas system where you have religious Christmas on December 25th and then Santa Christmas on January 25th. Okay. So you get two Christmases.

And like it's basically a second Thanksgiving in the end of January. Listen, I'm all for more holiday. Like you go to church on December 25th or you know the night before and then on the January one, it's like no religion involved. You're just doing gifts and just pretending that Christmas is still around. Yeah. I also like Donnie's concept of Jalune.

Yeah. Yeah. The best month of the year. That's June 15th to July 15th. I like that. Solid. I like that a lot. That's a solid stretch. That's a really solid stretch.

I will end it with this one a little tie back to everything. Oh, hi, Cowboy Fan Hank, loser max in the Hunt Big Cat PFT and Mr. Positions. My boyfriend hasn't stopped walking around the house for the last two weeks, screaming Tommy DeVito and holding his fingers up to the air. And we've had chicken cutlet seven times in the last day. Yes. At what point should I be worried? Okay, just as this guy's been dudes.

Yeah. And what I'd say is this is no different than Linsanity for Asian people. This is Tommy DeVito is that is Linsanity for Italians. It is, Max. You know it is. Like, they have their moment in the sun. Italians get this moment. It it will it will peter out

We'll probably have a point where we'll reach maximum Tommy DeVito It's gonna be a two games in a row Yeah, and also like be a 30 for 30 about Tommy DeVito in five years. It's gonna be awesome Yeah, and like when when Tommy DeVito's dad is like Is like doing cameo and like and and and pitching a bunch of stuff. Everyone's like, okay. Can I just make a request to everybody out there? I know that some people in the media listen to this podcast.

Let's not dig too deep into Tommy DeVito's family. No, let's just be fun with it. Let's be fun with it. Yeah. And let's just all agree. This is a fun thing. Let's not ruin it for any more. Not all Italians are in the mob if that's what you're trying to say.

That's not what you're trying to say. No, Max, that's not at all what I was trying to say. I think that's what you were trying to say. No, I was trying to say let's not try to find anything like publicly embarrassing or maybe they said some stuff at a party 15 years ago. Let's not find out what Tommy DeVito's dad thinks. Yeah. Let's just let's let the entire Vito family exist only as something that we see on our television. Yes. And appreciate their

cut launches and all that. Cut, let's in football. Let's keep it straight and you know, let's keep it right there. That's the wheelhouse that we that everyone, it's a fun story. Let's not ruin it. That's actually it's actually a little bit of self hatred on your part. Max thinking I was talking about the mob

because I wasn't. Well, you were thinking of something negative. You, I would just say, like we, we, you just, all Italians are, we do this with everybody. We do this, we find somebody and we love it. We love the story. And then there's a reporter out there that's like, I want to know more about everything

that's happened there. Although I will say it will be fucking awesome and very funny to watch when Tommy DeVito like introduces Trump and Arali. Yes. That's happened there. Although I will say it will be fucking awesome and very funny to watch when Tommy DeVito like introduces Trump and Arali. Yes. That's gonna rule. That is going to rule. I will, that will be awesome. I'm all for that.

I think we should Uber Eats some chicken collets for football someday. Yes. That sounds good. Yeah, we have a lot of chicken collets for awhile. ESPN needs to figure out what the fuck a chicken cutlet is. Oh my god, that was horrendous. It looked like a deep fried rack of ribs. Yeah, it was bad.

Yeah, it looked like deep fried chicken. That's not chicken cutlet. Yeah, chicken cutlet's pound and flat. Yeah, figure it out, yes, man. Abomination. All right, good show, boys. Numbers 18, 71, 20, three. Pug, 56 Pug

I will say last night, I was watching the game and they kept showing all the tailgate stuff. I put a little bit of sauce on the stove
