NFL Week 4 Picks & Preview, Seahawks Beat Cardinals, 1 Question With A QB Featuring Daniel Jones, Shane Bacon Talking Ryder Cup + Fyre Fest Of The Week

31:50He looked good when he was running after the injury.

31:52PFT Commenter:Yeah. So then I was like, okay, I'm not worried. They said it was a quad injury. Then yesterday comes out, he's getting a second opinion on a quad injury. And I would imagine that if the first opinion was good news, he probably wouldn't be like, hey, let me make sure I'll go get a second opinion. And then did a little bit of digging on the doctor that he was going to go see. The doctor that he's seeing for the second opinion is a core injury specialist, like sports hernias, things like that. so i'm glad terry got paid but i'm i am worried about terry yeah yeah that one that one because you and noah brown's out as well yeah debo debo is awesome but yeah i went back and i watched more debo clips debo is legit he's he's back to old debo right now uh so raheem morris said uh on michael pennix remaining the starting qb kirk lost his job last year we're not even close to that with mike he had a bad game they just hate kirk cousins yeah that's such a mean thing to say like hey just so we're clear he he stunk and we get we he lost his job yeah there might have been there was some weird stuff going on with kirk's alleged injuries and the falcons not knowing or covering up the i don't know what happened but it didn't end well last season with them the uh the other thing i'll say for michael pennix maybe he's starting to figure it out because he said uh this week i gotta throw the ball to the wide open receivers when they're open you gotta be worried about that that's a fact if he if he figures out that you gotta throw to the guys that are open when they're open you could be in trouble because if you're throwing to the guys that are open when they're not open that's when you run into a pick six on the first series or not throwing to the guys who are wide open when they're wide open that's also bad then you get into the screenshots bad and when you're lefty quarterback it looks way worse when you're bad than if you're ready quarterback and it looks bad pft i got bad news for you as well uh after this week you won't have another uh noon central kickoff till week 13 oh i hate that that sucks yeah that's that's not good i i like being kind of lost in the shuffle sometimes yeah and also just getting it like the afternoon slate is so nice to be like all right game happened now can just watch afternoon free roll yeah so um i i am feeling worried about terry i'm feeling a little bit worried about our first overall pick or first uh round pick last year too connerly hasn't played that well best tackle or you said best offensive lineman in the draft right yeah you say that yeah yeah no wait who said no uh mike tice said it yeah and you that's right i and if i find one person that's yeah then that's my expert oh absolutely go to so yeah i was i was pumped about him he has not played very well we are getting sam cosme back maybe in the next two weeks which is going to be awesome okay he's maybe our best offensive lineman and uh our rookie cornerback Trey Amos has been legit like a lockdown guy so there are some good signs in Washington even though Jaden's out uh Lane is Bill hurt no Bill's back Bill's good all good with Bill because yesterday you were like oh Bill might be hurt too did I make that up or you said that he was nicked he was nicked oh okay yeah everyone yeah you get nicked and then you move on uh he's fine he's fine yeah no Bill's good Bill's gonna he's ready to roll and uh Jalen Lane got rookie of the week last week and then i think trey amos might have gotten it the week before that there we go we're continuing the trend of pepsi zero sugar rookies of the week i have one staff for you are you gonna what's what's your hungry dog this week i like the jets i don't know i haven't figured out the other two the uh falcons bangles and saints if they close as dogs of one and a half or higher after losing by 30 plus points those teams are 61 against the spread since 2003 basically just a stat of when you get smoked everyone assumes you're just terrible forever yeah you have a bounce i would have much rather the falcons won last week yeah and to get their ass kicked and get embarrassed like that so uh yeah it's gonna be i think it's gonna be a competitive game the key is though to beat michael pennix you got to score more than seven points yes if you do that then those teams are undefeated yeah score less you're gonna lose What about a little PMT hungry dog?

35:59PFT Commenter:Oh, Bears. Well, the commanders are favorites. Yeah, not them. Okay. Bears, Bucs, Jets. Oh. Okay. I don't hate it. Okay. Hank just loves going against the Eagles. Well, he loves going against any of us. The Bucs own the Eagles. All right. Next game. Saints at Bills. Bills are minus 15 and a half. Overrunners 47 and a half. I mean, 15 and a half is just a comical. This could be one of those ones, though. It could have been a week early. What if we were a week early? So Spencer Rattler is 0-9 in his first nine starts in the NFL. The other five, so if he loses this game, which I think he probably will, he will join the illustrious 0-10 or worse crew.

36:45PFT Commenter:Quarterbacks in that crew, Deshaun Kaiser lost 15, never won a start. Stan Gelbaugh, I'm going to come back to him. he won he lost 11 in a row Derek Carr 10 in a row Zach Mettenberger 10 in a row Brody Croyle 10 in a row so I was looking at this because I was just like you know what I'm just gonna look into who the fuck Stan Gelbaugh is so Sean Kaiser never want to start Zach Mettenberger never want to start Brody Croyle never want to start Derek Carr obviously went on to have a good career Stan Gelbaugh he lost 11 the first 11 starts he made he I think retired and then came back in 1996 week 17 he started his last final game and he was 0 for 2 passing tore his groin on the second series but the Seahawks won the game so he technically won his last start ever in the NFL that's Mr.

37:433000

37:44PFT Commenter:Stan Gelbaugh Yeah. That's a great story. That's the plot line of that movie. He won a start. Good for Stan. He was only in for two series, but he won a start. So shout out Stan Gelbaugh. Let's get Kaiser back in, huh? Yeah. Maybe in the Germany game. But yeah, the Saints losing so badly last week, I feel like it's better for them that they have to go on the road again. Yeah. Than it is to show up. Because you're already seeing some of the Saints fans with the paper bags. Yep. New Orleans is out on the Saints this year. I feel like it's a good opportunity for them to go somewhere away from home and maybe lose by a little bit less this week.

38:20PFT Commenter:Yes, I would agree with that. By the way, last thing on Stan Gelbaugh, I just kind of forgot that NFL Europe existed. That's basically how his career got rejuvenated because he was a backup for the Bills, never made the team or was on the practice squad, and then went to NFL Europe and became good and then came back and started playing for the Phoenix Cardinals. That's awesome. Good for Stan. Yeah, I agree with you, though. Saints, I don't know. You can't take the bills in this game, right? You could. The bills are really, really good. I understand. 15 and a half point spread is crazy. I'm going to bet on the Saints.

38:55I'm not doing it for normal reasons where I'm like, oh, I think Spencer Rattler is going to be better than you might think, or I think Kamara is going to have a great game. I'm firmly labeling this as a do you have any pride game for the Saints. Gut check. I'm betting on Brandon Cooks. I'm betting on Demario Davis. Alvin Kamara. Yeah, Demario Davis has been in the league for 13 years, scraping by, a gritty dude. There are some people that are very embarrassed about what happened last week that play on the Saints. I feel like they're going to keep it closer. I could be wrong. Maybe they've quit, but this is my last stand for the Saints.

39:33PFT Commenter:Yeah. If they don't cover in this one, done. That's a completely fair thing to do. Yeah. Yeah, I just 15 and a half is, yeah, it's so many points. Hank, you think it's going to be, you think they're actually going to do it? We're getting to that point of the season where we're, you know, one of these games is going to be, you know, the Raiders-Ravens last year. Was it Browns-Packers last week? Possibly. Could have been. Could have been. But we also were hiring the Saints last week. It'd be funny if we were a week early. Yeah. Okay. All right, next up, we have the Browns and the Lions. Here's another one for you.

40:08PFT Commenter:uh browns and lions the lions are 10 point uh favorites these guys have a trophy by the way they play for it in the preseason the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald trophy i don't know if it will be up for grabs in the regular season i just love that they have a trophy between them that's good it is like big 10 territory yeah so yeah let's let's get a uh is it a ship it's a ship okay yeah yeah if you want to pull it up pull up the browns lions preseason trophy uh it's pretty cool it's actually like a it's a ship with two helmets on it and it looks kind of cool i wonder where it sits i think they might have it's it's a great lakes classic trophy they have to play with it why just just use google oh yeah that's nice oh there it is that's great lakes classic yeah so whoever wins do they get possession of the edmund fitzgerald which is underneath the well i've heard that it's only been in the preseason but maybe should what it should just be a trophy of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

41:04PFT Commenter:What is? It's the ship. That's not. Edmund Fitzgerald was bigger than that. That's a pretty big ship. No, dude, that that's to size. Edmund Fitzgerald was a lot a lot wider. Are you talking about that's to size? Are you saying, what is that, a ship for ants? I'm saying the Edmund Fitzgerald was like a much much bigger ship. How do you know how big that ship was? That's a trophy. Look up the Edmund Fitzgerald. Yeah, but are you saying those helmets are bigger than the ship?

41:37See? See how much bigger it is? No, that's exactly the same. How can you tell? Look where the beginning and the end of the ship is. There's just a little bit in between. All right, longer? You mean it's a longer ship? Yeah, it's a lot longer. Yeah, it should be longer. Yes, okay. This is an insane hill to die on. It's not a hill to die on. That's just not the Edmund Fitzgerald.

41:55PFT Commenter:It is, but there's two huge helmets on it, so it kind of distorts it. It should be. my point was it should be it'd be nice nice touch all right i'm glad we talked that one through yeah that was a good talk through uh so yeah they have a they have a trophy that's pretty cool they have a trophy they usually play every preseason the great lakes classic began in 2002 and was one of the preseason games for both clubs the winner of the annual contest received a very large trophy well very large called the great lakes freighter trophy this award was nicknamed the barge by many beat writers the battle of the barge that's a cool name uh so yeah i don't i don't know if they do it for a regular season it would be kind of cool though uh are we on flacco watch this week possibly i think we might the offense hasn't been great they've only had six drives of over 50 yards this season yeah the lions have 15 of those oh yeah uh cleveland's offense sputtering they might have a running game though yeah i might have found their answer in that maybe i how long do you think that the browns can go having an elite defense and a bad offense until their defense starts to just collapse probably they gotta it just depends on how far away they become from 500 i think if you're like four games away from 500 that's when it starts to collapse Yeah.

43:18PFT Commenter:So if they can stay, like, they lose this week, then they, you know, two and four, you know, somewhere around there. As soon as they dip to, like, the two and five, two or one and five range, I think that's when it falls apart. We should also be talking. I know we mentioned Mason Graham last week. Yeah. When we were talking about the Browns. We should be talking about Carson Schlesinger. Yeah. Is it Schlesinger? Yeah. How do you say that? Schlesinger? Yeah. The Browns nailed their draft. Yeah. On the defensive side. Except for what they did with quarterback, which is weird. But they should get more credit for what they did in the early part of their draft.

43:54Yeah, the Cleveland Browns have a championship defense right now. Yeah, I would agree.

43:58PFT Commenter:By the way, I just looked it up. The last time the barge was played for was 2014. Bring it back. Yeah. So both sides say it's dead. Bring it back. I agree, though. The Browns have a championship defense. That's got to be frustrating. The Browns should do the Harbaugh thing where they show up with a trophy, but they don't tell the other team that it's a trophy game until they win. And then they're like, we won the trophy. Yeah. And if they lose, it was never a trophy game. Yeah. I do like the wrinkle this week of also Cleveland and Detroit being in a pennant race. Yeah. So you get a little bit of both.

44:32And Ohio State, Michigan.

44:34PFT Commenter:Yeah. These two states don't like each other. They do not like each other. Here's a stat for you. If you're thinking, oh, 10 points is a lot of points. I don't really want to do it. under Dan Campbell Detroit is 22 and 6 against the spread in their next game after a 6 plus point win and they're 19 and 5 against the spread after a 7 plus point win so when Detroit starts get rolling they kind of stay rolling not one of those situations oh they just blew out you know they beat the Ravens by two touchdowns or I guess it was only eight points the end uh they can they can stay rolling yeah uh I I would also trust Dan Campbell to be a guy that doesn't really let short rest affect you i have no numbers to back that up yeah so i don't know what that actual stat is but he he strikes me as a guy that's just like we're gonna drink more coffee and he said it in he said it in that press conference i think it was tuesday where he's like our best players practice the hardest and that's how you get culture he's like our best players are the ones that are working harder than anyone else and that's how you have a situation where everyone buys in uh okay panthers at patriots hank patriots are minus four and a half over under his 42 and a half is tet injured i believe he is i think so so he missed practice on wednesday uh i don't know who the panthers are gonna throw it to hunter infro who just had a baby just had a baby yeah the hunter infro baby bump i think he's only three to one or maybe like plus 265 i bet him nonetheless i feel like that's uh that's been a bet that's been profitable for us yes hank what happened nothing what happened you share with the class memes live memed and made no sense.

46:04PFT Commenter:What was the live meme? Is it just you on the barge? Edmund Fitzgerald? Yeah, that does make no sense. What do you mean? Yeah, no, it makes sense. It's Hank as Zoolander. Yeah. And he's next to the trophy. Like he's saying, what is this? A trophy. Cool France or a trophy for ants. Yeah. That wasn't the argument though. No, that wasn't the argument. But still, cool meme. I thought it was a good meme. Do you ever, are you ever able to turn it off? No. Do you get in fights with a friend or family member or something and then live meme or try not to laugh because you're thinking in meme?

46:48Not that I can remember, but now that you say it, I think I do. Sometimes I just scroll part of my takes Twitter on College Football Saturday just to look up a specific play, and I just go by four pictures of my face on random fans that I'd never seen before, but I'm looking for something else. It's like, oh, there's another one. Do you mentally put Max's face on people that you meet in real life? Definitely. That's why meeting his brothers was so fucked up.

47:16PFT Commenter:Yeah. It was just like it's already a face swap. Yeah, memes. I had dinner with my friend last night who was the one who was like, hey, watch out for memes. And he mentioned, he's like, hey, I'm happy you're taking that seriously. seriously he's like yeah i'm happy that you took you're taking it seriously to watch out for memes i heard you say it on the shows he's like thank you for we want to keep you safe i was like yeah memes is a wild card yeah this guy's got to watch out i'll give you i'll give you his number and his address you can go show up at his house meme him to face swap him yeah uh hank what are you thinking about this game excited excited should be a feels like a get right game should be a get right game i'm excited okay all right that's good i'm excited you're excited have you heard any news this week about a player on the patriots no fun day stefan digs yeah what are your thoughts on the stefan digs news uh it's a clip from a podcast there's really no it hasn't been verified i don't like how you said podcast right there we're on a podcast yeah but yeah you political podcast yeah Yeah, well, yeah, people say dumb shit on podcasts all the time with no truth to them.

48:25So, yeah, I'm not going to listen to some random podcast or say some bullshit and be like, that's a fact. But couldn't somebody that's listening to you right now say that exact same thing? And they should. Okay. We've proven that time and time again. By the way, I mean, Cardi B have a lot in common. Yeah, they do. Allegedly. Allegedly. No, allegedly. Allegedly. They're a happy couple that's about to have a beer. I'm saying they get along really well. Yeah, they do. Beautiful couple. Have a lot in common. You want some of these Skittles?

48:56PFT Commenter:Mm-hmm. PFDI, when we did pick them this week, Hank was trying to get me with the word weird. Okay. Because he refuses to say the Tom Brady thing is weird. So he's just like, oh, that's weird. That's weird. No, no, no. What was the... And then I just said to Dave, I said, would you... Oh, it was about Lane Kiffin. You're like, well, Lane Kiffin's probably getting all the plays from LSU. And I was like, that's weird. Kind of weird. No, that doesn't work, but okay. By the way, I was right that Lane Kiffin, that was all publicity, son, and it's not a big deal. But it's kind of weird that he's talking to another player about their plays and stuff.

49:32PFT Commenter:Oh, no, I don't think that's weird because it's his daughter's boyfriend. Conflict of interest, it's all I'd say. Okay, either way. I do think it's weird that he tweeted multiple times, take the over. That's still weird to me. I'm going to take the under. A football coach. I think he's trying to get everyone to go the misdirection. I just simply asked Dave, do you think the Tom Brady thing, being in the booth and then calling games is weird, Dave said yes, absolutely. Yeah, it's weird. It's very easy for him. So easy. We can all admit it. Although Brady did say that the people who are saying that it's a problem, they're being paranoid.

50:03PFT Commenter:We didn't say it was a problem. Yeah. You said it was weird. That's totally different. Confirmed weird. Confirmed weird. So wait, this game, you got to win? Got to win. Are you going to win? Definitely. Christian Gonzalez, playing or no? Probably not, but he's been practicing. I feel like they're not going to rush him back. Okay. Maybe play a couple snaps. He's been practicing the last couple weeks, so within the next couple weeks, I expect him to be back. I don't think it'll be this week. Okay. We'll see. He's really good. He's great. Are you worried? Worried about what? About his injury. No, he's been practicing.

50:34Okay, cool. I think he's going to be awesome. I agree. If you have a star player who's just a little banged up, they're still practicing, they might not play. And your team does not have expectations of Soupy, and you're not coming off a championship run. You clearly said that the Patriots would be the best team on this podcast. Fair counterpoint. Really fair counterpoint. But we're not coming off a conference championship season. You just had a documentary called The Dynasty. What does that have to do with anything? What if the fucking Redskins came out with a documentary? Yeah, that was a worse counterpoint.

51:10I wanted to say it too. You had him. I was close.

51:15PFT Commenter:Then you just lost it there. Yeah, if this was like three years ago, that would have been a really great point. Any of the players, like the player, the only player that's around from then is the coach. Yeah. Yeah, it's true. Yeah. Okay. Next up, Chargers, Giants. What did you say? And McDaniels, I guess. Chargers, Giants, Giants plus six, Jackson Dart time. Let's go. I think you guys obviously saw the story that Eli Manning told. I think it was on the Manning cast. He didn't tell it to us. That was too unfortunate that he texted Jackson Dart and was like, hey, if you need anything, let me know.

51:55PFT Commenter:And then Jackson Dart, like a week later, was like, hey, I need a reservation at Fort Charles. Yeah. I think there's never been a story that has more pressure on it because it's either like if Jackson Dart is really good, that would be like, man, he has so much swag. Like he was so confident. And if he's bad, it's be like, yeah, no, no shit. We should have known Eli Manning said he'd give him help and all he wanted was a fucking burger reservation. Yeah. That story has got some big time weight to it. It's got some implications. I think it's a bad look. I think it's a bad look. But you see what I'm saying?

52:26PFT Commenter:Yeah. Jackson Dart goes on to have an incredible career. It's like, dude, he had so much swag. He's like, I got this. All I need is a reservation. I look at that like he's a fucking idiot. Oh, yeah, definitely. Right now, for sure. And that will be like the sign we should have known. I don't think anything about that is swag, though. Oh, if he's cockiness. Yeah, if he's awesome. But I don't think he did that out of cockiness. I think that... There had to be someone else he's run into in his life that's like, I can get you a fucking reservation. It's crazy to be like... In a similar situation, if Dave was like, if you need anything, let me know.

53:04And I needed a reservation somewhere. And it's like, I know Dave can get me a reservation there, but there's got to be someone else first. No, that would be if you were first... If you were just hired by Dave and he said that. It's kind of like the thing we're talking about with Kyler Murray with the Mike Vick jersey. It makes me question his decision making because what he should have done. Correct. Let's say you really wanted this reservation, and for argument's sake, it's not at a burger restaurant. It's at a top-tier steakhouse or something like that. It's both. Okay. I mean, it's one of the hardest reservations here in New York.

53:37But what he should have done is— I got one from Jersey Jerry, though, by the way. What he should have— Yeah. Jersey Jerry, Eli Manning. Yeah, I know. That's something to put into perspective. I mean, if you got a Jerry on the team, that's the guy that you would go to, but Jerry's not your boss. Correct. Jersey Jerry's not fucking Eli Manning. He's not? Is that breaking news? Breaking. Not fucking Eli Manning. Put that on a kill card. All right. So what he should have done is he should have asked Eli Manning for one piece of bullshit advice right before he asked for the reservation. Like, hey, when you're calling an audible, which linebacker do you look at first?

54:12Something easy like that that he didn't even need help with.

54:16PFT Commenter:Yeah. And then you're like, oh, cool. Thanks, man. Hey, by the way, you ever been in this place? I can't get a reservation. Yeah. Then Eli would be probably, okay. I'm just saying, like, there's a 95 % chance this story looks bad. But if he, like, goes on to have an amazing career, you can spin it as he knew he was good. Like, the biggest worry he had being in the NFL was can he get a reservation? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? He didn't need Eli Manning for any type of advice Are you worried about the fact that when he was drafted Very first phone call Him and Dable both ended with love you's This is a little early for love you's It's a little early He should have asked Dable for the reservation Yeah Way more of a food guide Even that would be off Just ask the media guys Yes, there's gotta be somebody there Ask someone on the team Or just call and say, hey, I'm Jackson Dart.

55:08Yeah.

55:09PFT Commenter:They probably would just say okay. Hey, I'm Jackson Dart. I just got drafted number one in the first round. Can I get a reservation? I do actually like the Giants in this game because I do think he's going to add a little pop. You can't be worse than – I mean, going from Russell Wilson to Jackson Dart, like Russell Wilson was hard to watch. I think at least guys will play a little bit harder. Yeah. They know that there's more on their plate. Malik Neighbors, I love this. He's top of my list, number one receivers, because he said Malik Neighbors, when asked what he learned from the Giants changing QBs last year, they're going to find a way to get number one the ball.

55:47PFT Commenter:Yeah. That's it. So he's going to do that again. Got to find a way to get number one the ball. And Dart looked really good in the preseason, too. So they're excited. Give the ball to Scadaboo a lot. America wants that. We want to see that angry dude running people over. And they also very smartly signed Young-Waiku. Yes. So they've got a backup kicker situation in New York because Graham Gonneau, who's Scottish, by the way, and the Giants, they used to have tines. They just love having Scottish kickers for some reason. Gonneau has gotten hurt twice in pregame warmups in the last two years. Fucked us, yeah.

56:20And it hasn't worked out well for him either time. So now they have two kickers on the roster in case Graham Gonneau gets injured again. Stop warming up. Or just maybe it might be time to get a new kicker.

56:30PFT Commenter:Yeah. So Andrew Thomas being back for a full game I know he played against the Chiefs But it feels like he'll be able to play the whole game Last time the Giants beat the Chargers Can you guys name the quarterbacks? Both recurring guests Draft night when Eli Giants beat the Chargers Both recurring guests Yes What does that mean? Jim Harbaugh Last time the Giants beat the Chargers Are you asking for the quarterbacks? Yeah, quarterbacks. Recurring guests. Eli Manning. Both recurring guests. No. Jim Harbaugh. No. Kurt Warner. No. Chargers? Danny Cannell over Ryan Lee. That's a fun one, right? That is fun.

57:15PFT Commenter:You would have kept on going down the list. Yeah. I don't think we would have gotten. No, I don't think so. I just saw it and I was like, oh, we haven't had many Chargers quarterbacks on. I guess it's literally. No, Drew Brees. And yeah. Jim Harbaugh. we need to get phil rivers on chase daniel chase daniel call yeah herbert yeah we've got a few also um wasn't canal a big turtleneck guy he might have been yeah i feel like he might have been we need to watch i think he's become a turtleneck guy but for some reason i thought i remembered a clip of him playing in a turtle maybe that's interesting yeah it might be a might be a system guy okay and that was the last time the giants beat the chargers maybe the giants would be the Chargers again.

57:56PFT Commenter:Yeah. Also, this is Brian Dable's seventh starting quarterback he's throwing out there. Here are the six that previously, none of them are over 500. Tommy DeVito, Terod Taylor, Daniel Jones, Drew Locke, Davis Webb, Russell Wilson. Yuck. I forgot about the Davis Webb era. Jackson Dart, you need to save Brian Dable. Yeah. Like this, that is a tough, tough list. That's why I'm thinking he could ask Dable for a reservation. Yeah. Dable doesn't really have a reason to say no. He has to say yes to everything that Dart wants. You should ask Tommy DeVito for a reservation. Oh, yeah. Tommy, he is the res guy.

58:34PFT Commenter:Yeah. All right. Next up, I do kind of like the Giants in this game. I think they're going to get a little pop from Jackson Dart. I might stay away from it. I might just bet on Scatterboot's score touchdown. I like that. Next up, Booth battle. Eagles at Bucs. Bucs minus three and a half. over under is was it 43 and a half still? Let's find it. 43 and a half. Are you guys Zach you're going to watch in the cave with us? I can show you sir. I would like you to be in the cave. I think maybe Max in between you and Stephen Shay. All of my anger will be directed towards Stephen Shay. Well yeah. This is a big one for you.

59:15PFT Commenter:You hate the Bucs. The Bucs. So the Bucs. I saw this stat. Nick Sirianni I think is one and four against the Bucs. The only interesting part of that, though, is A.J. Brown did not play in all four losses, and he played in the win. Hmm. So. He looked. Might have been on three of the four losses. He looked pretty good last week. He did look pretty good. He looked pretty good. Yeah. I don't think. What's his name? Desmond Watson. I don't think he's going to play, right? I don't believe so either, but I know he picked him up. It's going to feel like 103 degrees on the field. Are you scared of the sun?

59:51me oh me personally for sure i i would be very scared of playing in that sun but yeah i'm not i'm not on the eagles that's true do you think do you think they're afraid of the sun they could be nah zach do the do the bucks do anything with their sidelines like the uh the dolphins do where it's like the visitors that are always in the sun home team in the shade at the book stadium no matter where you sit it feels like you're in the sun there's not much shade there and i i know Scientifically, it's probably some shade, but it feels like no shade whatsoever. It's going to be hot. Very hot. It's going to be real hot.

1:00:24I'm excited to watch this game. I am too. I'm a little bit worried. We have a bicep. Baker had a limited practice yesterday with a right on bicep, so hopefully he works that out.

1:00:36PFT Commenter:Well, you don't want him to work it out. Yeah, wrong choice of words there. Hopefully he gets better. Yeah, you don't want him doing curls with a hurt bicep. I'd be a little concerned for the Bucs and their offensive line. Tristan Wirfs might be back. The Eagles defense is also all of a sudden hurt as well. Yeah, what happened? Did the Eagles just get everyone injured in practice on Wednesday or whatever it was? Apparently they just played through the injuries last week. Nolan Smith, I guess, strained his tricep, and he's out for the next five weeks. Jihad Campbell didn't play, has been practicing, and Zach Bonds have been limited.

1:01:12I have a question for you because I don't know the answer to this. C.D. Deuce, C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Yeah. So you guys traded him away. Correct. Then you put the guy that you got on practice squad, right? Yep. And then the Texans just cut C.D. Deuce. Correct. Do you want him back in Philly? And follow-up, is he allowed to play for the Eagles? He's not allowed to play for the Eagles. Because he hasn't played enough games for another team. Yeah, we're not allowed to pick him back up. Okay. I would take him, but I also like Makuba. He strikes me as a guy that is a great dude to have on your team.

1:01:45and not going up against you, but only if your team's winning. Like, if your team's bad and you have CD Deuce, then there's going to be problems. It's almost like you're doing a parlay. You're getting CD Deuce and also betting on us to win. Does that make sense? That makes a lot of sense. Yeah. I don't hate that logic at all. The Texans really weren't doing too much of that.

1:02:05PFT Commenter:No. No. Are you feeling like a win, Max? I don't know. The Bucs games are always so weird. I think we're the better team. I guess we're both not healthy, so it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. I don't know. This team just finds a way to win. I think they're the better team. So Mike Evans is out. Correct. The hamstring for a couple weeks now, right? And then Abuka is also banged up. But Godwin is back, right? Godwin's back. Godwin could be back as well. Maybe not 100%. So Quinion on Godwin? I guess. Yeah. Yeah, Godwin and Wirfs both practiced without any restrictions on Wednesday.

1:02:47PFT Commenter:Okay. So that would be a big boost to the Bucs. Yeah, maybe playoff preview. Must win? Every game's a must win. I was reading more about that Todd Bowles nerd. That's a scary thing. Todd Bowles has a nerd now. Yeah. It's totally – he has the confidence. I've actually watched a couple Todd Bowles press conferences. It feels like he's a different guy. It feels like he has confidence that he's never had before. Yeah, that's what he said after he was making jokes about making out with his side end. Because he's got a guy that is handling all the complicated stuff. What were you going to say, Zach?

1:03:21Todd Bowles historically gives us no emotion, no anything on the sidelines. And very limited in press conferences. He's like waking up, joking around, sidelines, kind of giving us how he's feeling, wearing emotions. It's great. I love to see it. I think numbers were just weighing him down that much. He was thinking too hard all the time. And it's the added benefit of sneaking a couple wins here and there. Right. In games that they might have lost.

1:03:47PFT Commenter:All right. Next up, excited for the game. Did you hear memes say three? What? You said numbers in that sentence. Do I get it? Memes. No. What do you mean? Do I get it? No, you don't get it. Why? But you said numbers. It's not the end of the show. It's not the end of the show, memes. You said it. It's the first. I've said numbers before. It's the first numbers that he says after he introduces the lottery ball. Yeah, and I say, all right, guys. Time for the N-word.

1:04:21PFT Commenter:Memes thinks about the N-word more than anyone on the show. Yeah. That's a fact. Disgusting. You are always thinking about the N-word. I am. And you just said.

1:04:34PFT Commenter:All right. Titans and Texans. I'm done with the Titans. Done with them. So I'm going to take the Texans. But I'm done with the Titans. I don't. This game. this game is not exciting to me whatsoever. Yeah, so Callahan is no longer calling the plays. Yeah. So he gave it to their offensive coordinator. Yeah. And that was the guy that was calling, Bo Hardigree is his name. He was the guy that was calling plays for the Raiders after they fired Antonio Pierce. And he's the guy that essentially embarrassed Brandon Staley so much that he got fired too. Yeah. Through his play calling. So they, I don't know.

1:05:09I don't know what to think. Like Callahan, he was calling plays and he's an offensive guy and then they asked him do you have any regrets or anything that you did wrong and he's like no that's not why i'm making this choice and they're like well why are you he's like well i'm the head coach so i gotta start head coaching so he kind of like is taking on the role of a ceo yeah in a company that is failing yeah because he was leading the guy i don't really understand what's going on but it's not good not good signs for cal not good uh and the i was

1:05:37PFT Commenter:looking at the numbers the drill tweet of like can someone help me with my budget uh you know $100 on wings$50 on pizzas and the titans are 2 and 14 against the spread in their last 16 games I just I have to quit I have to stop you know what it was they somebody on the titans last year said like teams don't want to play us yeah and then I was like oh they're still fighting well they had like they they had a like a uh it's it's partially in my brain the Vrabel titans who always would you know win games they weren't supposed to win or keep games close their defense isn't so so bad but man they always just find a way to lose games and i'm so i'm done with the titans you know what the last team was that started off oh and three and made the playoffs it was the texans right texans in 2018 that was my pinky that was a pinky team yeah pinky team that year so might they might be able to run it back 11 and 5 at the end of that year all right afternoon games Colts at Rams Rams minus three and a half over under 49 and a half Jerry O 'Connell went on Matthew Stafford and Kelly Stafford's podcast actually it's Kelly Stafford's podcast but Matthew Stafford was also on it I thought he did it I skimmed around I thought he did a good job he mentioned us a couple times but you can listen to a guy on a podcast and he's probably saying some bullshit yeah right definitely I basically just did a little quick peruse to make sure that he at least said our names he was thinking about us the whole time he was with her yeah which is that's that's good to know yeah uh danny dimes are we gonna make like the entire narrative out of the colts and daniel jones based on how this game goes so like if they lose are we gonna be like yeah they're a good team fun story not elite and if they beat the rams are we going to be like Super Bowl depends so we have one question of the quarterback coming up with Daniel Jones I would say depends on what it looks like like in terms of give me a score and I'll tell you what where I'm going to go with the narrative 30 20 Rams was the score 30 13 before What was the lead up to 30-20?

1:07:47It was 27-17. Okay.

1:07:55PFT Commenter:They traded field goals? They traded field goals, yeah. But it was in the third quarter, and then in the fourth quarter, no touchdowns. Colts could still be good. Okay. Give me another one. We should think about that ahead of time. Okay. What if it's 17-3 Rams? Colts stink. Okay, done. Throw them out. Done. frauds frauds they're fraudulent okay what about uh 21 to 20 colts win but they win in like a very weird last second uh like a punt return ride the wave okay team of destiny yeah that might be right the way okay keep rolling with them what if it's like rams i like this this is a fun game just do every possible scores and what we're going to say on Sunday night.

1:08:43PFT Commenter:We're just doing Sunday's podcast now. Rams 31, Colts 26, but the Colts were covering the entire game and the Rams like do something. Kicked a field goal at the end to cover. I respect the Colts. I feel like they're right there. Yeah. Yeah. Give me one more. Colts 41-14. Oh, my God. Best team ever. Yeah, best team ever. I think that would almost switch now. We're like, what's wrong with the Rams? Yeah. It becomes more of that. Did the Eagles break the Rams? Yep. Yep. That absolutely will be the conversation. Get ready for some clock struck midnight takes. Yeah. If the Colts lose and they lose by like 10 points or more.

1:09:24Yeah. Clock struck midnight. I'd agree. I think they got some room. He's given himself a little bit of room.

1:09:31PFT Commenter:14 plus is when we're like, oh, this team, oh, look who they beat. Yeah. Yeah. Did you hear that Daniel Jones is frequently late for dinner? No. That's like his thing. You can literally call him late for dinner? You can. Yeah. In The Athletic, they said he's never on time for dinner. Pittman is used to it. He expects it when the players meet up for the weekly meal on Thursdays. He's always tardy. Every single time he's like, yeah, I'm on the way. I just had to break down these last couple plays. And I'm like, bro, take a break. But that's just who he is. Oh, so he's late for dinner. Not as like a rude thing.

1:10:05PFT Commenter:It's more he just loves ball. Because he's grinding film. He's got to grind film. Okay, that's not that bad. I've heard all the first one in, last one out. I've heard that, but I've never heard, oh, he's the last one in, but it's a good thing. He's late for dinner, yeah. Because he was too busy being the last one out to be the first one in for dinner. Yeah. Yeah. Also, fun fact, Daniel Jones earns$100 ,000 for every Colts win this year that he plays 50 % of the snaps. That's got to be awesome. That is cool. Just like slush fund money. Yeah. Oh, that's a win. Cool. Just going to take that$100 ,000.

1:10:38PFT Commenter:Get something fun with it. Also, last week with the Rams losing to the Eagles, they have failed the bird gauntlet. Say it again? They have failed the bird gauntlet. Oh, yeah. There will be no team that defeats all the bird teams this year. That is brutal. Yep. Fucking block kick. All right. Jaguars at 49ers. Jaguars are three-and-a-half-point underdogs. I kind of like the Jags. I kind of like the Jags. They got to figure out how to catch the ball. That's a big piece of it. but i kind of like the jacks yeah uh i mean it sucks for the niners not having bosa now and they're all banged up outside of bosa i feel like they're brian thomas has to come out of the yips or maybe maybe the answer is just give the ball to travis hunter more yeah maybe it is because when they drafted him they're like this is a man that that will change the entire sport of football yeah football looks just about the same this is we talk about this uh frequently during the season but this is an all-time can't remember anything about these teams playing.

1:11:36Yeah.

1:11:37PFT Commenter:49ers, Jaguars. It's weird because I do remember Mac Jones playing on the Jaguars. I do remember. Against the 49ers? No, no, no. I remember Mac Jones playing for the Jaguars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember they had another bag playing Gabbert, right? Yeah. Wasn't he on the 49ers and the Jaguars? And the Jaguars. But, yeah, I don't recall them ever playing each other. The Jaguars have not beaten the Niners since 2005. They've played five times since then, and they have been outscored 170-59. Also, weird stat, the 49ers are the only team in the NFL with zero rushing TDs through three weeks. That's crazy.

1:12:19PFT Commenter:Isn't that crazy? Yeah, did not know that. That's nuts. Is Mac Jones going to play or is Brock Purdy? I believe it's going to be, I don't know. Let's look it up. let's look it up i think it's mac jones i think it's mac jones because they said that purdy was going to be out for like four to five weeks also like mac jones already won two starts you kind of have a free roll here like you can just go with you can he can lose one if i'm mac jones i fake an injury right now yeah looks to be on a very good track to return for sunday so hank you're wrong he's brock purdy damn yeah yeah if i'm mac jones i'm like i think i got turf toe too please shut me down i just made myself a lot of money potentially yeah yeah um okay uh bears at raiders must win for the bears absolutely must win you win a gateway game to then get the privilege of playing in a must win and that's what they're playing in this week okay it's a must win have to win this game are you distrustful and paranoid of tom brady not really it's weird but not really okay yeah it is weird yeah uh this this ticket by the way is like i think there's gonna be a lot of bears fans in the crowd uh our guy eddie is is djing a strip club yeah what a flyer i love that what a flyer peppermint hippo which is rivals to the spearmint rhino yeah i was gonna say yeah spearmint rhino is a great place yeah uh so yeah i i don't know this is gonna be interesting game see if they can stack i i feel like the raiders are bad but they're gonna break out of it and they could break out of it against a Bears defense that is not healthy and not good yeah um did you know that the Bears had the longest touchdown drive in the NFL this year was that did the Lions not beat it no well not in terms of I don't know what the yardage difference oh plays 19 19 plays yeah it was an incredible drive that was that was the the man football job yeah it was pretty great uh I also saw that they had Max Crosby rated as a zero percent win rate in pass rush situations on pro football focus from last week i don't understand any of those numbers i don't understand all i can tell you is that if that's the metric that you're using to evaluate a player you need to tweak that metric because crosby was awesome yeah uh we also are the streak the streak continues the offense the nfc offensive player of the week through three weeks has been in a chicago bears game so caleb williams won it week three jared goff week two jj mccarthy week one okay so that's kind of cool streak see if it continues i love that did you know that the under is eight and two in the bears last 10 road games yeah we don't i mean it's a bad and good that's it's a new team yes yeah yeah let's not talk about that under what yeah it's also well he said road games because yeah it's one to know this year okay fair my bad my bad my bad the the over is one to know on the road this year yeah i do agree with hank though you can't you can't base this bears off those bears no you did yeah well no i i didn't i said but he can't i didn't i said the stat we all do stuff we can't do that did yeah but you can't you can't factor fiction the number is it's eight and two fact uh asterisk yeah well we just did the asterisk yeah factorist last year they were eight and one to the under on the road this year they're one and oh to the over on the road yep also the raiders defense not good outside of max crosby here are my two biggest concerns in this game one is max crosby because our offensive line uh is not great or it's it looked okay against the cowboys but there's been some question marks braxton jones uh uh darnell wright has been banged up a little.

1:16:08PFT Commenter:Two, I'm a big storyline guy. I remember going into the draft. We thought the Bears were going to draft Ash and Gentry. They didn't. Ash and Gentry's looked like trash. Bears don't have like a stud running back. DeAndre Schiff's been okay, not great. Ash and Gentry has like an all-time game against the Bears. That would also require their offensive line to be better. But that's what the issue is. The Cowboys are running for six yards a pop. So those are my two concerns. So So last week playing against the Raiders, they didn't really block anybody. If you send one extra guy, they're going to be like, I've never seen this before.

1:16:43Good to know. How am I supposed to stop this extra linebacker? Bobby Wagner's two sacks, I don't think anybody touched him.

1:16:50PFT Commenter:Okay, so Dennis Allen, if you're listening to this, please note that. Mark that down. Also, sorry for White Sox Dave saying you've got tits on the stream. Does he have tits? He's got a little bit of tits. I think it's the ears that make everything. The ears are the problem, yeah. All right, so I'm excited for this game. A must win. A must win. All right. Game of the week. Ravens, Chiefs. Loser leaves town? I think loser might get hungrier. Is loser? Oh, yeah. I think we should put a Super Bowl future on whoever loses this game. I think whoever loses this game is going to be a problem. What are the odds right now for the Ravens and the Chiefs and the DraftKings Sportsbook?

1:17:26PFT Commenter:So right now it's Chiefs plus two and a half. But what are the odds for them to win the Super Bowl? So right now the Ravens are six to one and the Chiefs are what? 14 to 1. The Ravens having the second best odds still is crazy. But if they lose this game, they will go to 10 to 1 or more. They should dip. Yeah. They should definitely dip. The worst part of the Ravens is clearly their defense, and especially their running defense. The Chiefs, like Andy Reid, he will have games where he's just like, I don't care much for running the football. Well, I was just saying the worst part of the Chiefs is their offense.

1:17:59PFT Commenter:Yeah. And the Ravens' defenses looked bad because they played the Bills and the Lions. the Chiefs' offense is nowhere near the Bills and the Lions. Xavier Worthy, though. Is he back? He's back. Okay. So that should change something. A little bit, yeah. That is different. I don't know how healthy a shoulder is going to be, if that's something that's going to keep flaring up on him all season. But, yeah, when the Chiefs have a really, really fast guy out there, they become a fun offense to watch. When they don't have a guy like that, they become a very boring football team. Yeah. They've been super boring to watch recently.

1:18:33I feel like Mahomes and Pacheco are button heads a little bit. There were a few plays last week where Pacheco was like just turning the wrong way in the backfield. They didn't know the ball was coming for him. Yep. At least one of those was a fumble that Mahomes then had to recover. So I don't know if they have an answer at running back. Because I feel like Pacheco used to be more than a serviceable running back.

1:18:55PFT Commenter:Yeah. Right? Yeah. But things kind of change. Yeah. I don't know. I kind of want to take the Ravens in this game. But the Patrick Mahomes, like, at what point do we have to say there's maybe Patrick Mahomes isn't what he was? At what point do we have the conversation? What do we have? We're not there yet. We got to see some guys get back. I think the first step is somebody saying, like, you could make the argument that Patrick Mahomes is a pedestrian quarterback. Not necessarily making the argument, but saying you could make the argument. One could make the argument. I'm not going to make that argument.

1:19:27PFT Commenter:I'm not ready to have that conversation yet. I'm just asking, is there a point in time that we do have that conversation? I think mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Okay. Okay. But also if the Ravens kick the shit out of them, yeah. Then I'll have it too. We have to have that conversation on Sunday. All right. Ravens 40, Chiefs 17. Okay. Are we having that conversation? How many defensive touchdowns did the Ravens score? Two. Picks or fumble recovery? Pick six and then also Patrick Holmes throwing it backwards. Yeah. Let's have the conversation. Okay. All right. So there it is. If that's the score and those are the things that happen, conversation will be had on Sunday night.

1:20:02Well, the thing about the Chiefs is there's other conversations that you would have before you got to the Patrick Mahomes conversation. Like, is it time for Andy Reid to hang it up? Yeah. Is it time for Travis Kelsey to retire? Is Taylor Swift pregnant?

1:20:15PFT Commenter:I told you guys this story, but it was our security guards do a great job here. I walked in on Wednesday morning. Rick, our security guard, kind of pulled me aside and was just like, hey, you hear about Kels? And I was like, what? Because he was actually pronouncing it correctly, Kels. I was like, what are you talking about? he's like yeah chiefs are gonna cut him yeah i was like what and then i went and looked and it was just nowhere but he just i think he saw him and andy reed fighting and it was like yeah he's getting cut it was probably from one of the overseas facebook pages the click farms it was such a great moment there where he just he got me for a second and another conversation we would have to have is oh the chiefs aren't so tough when the refs aren't giving them everything yeah then you find clips of refs calling penalties against the chiefs and then you're like see now that they're doing this they were never a good team good point pft yeah good point uh okay last game cowboys packers cowboys plus seven real quick i i got one stat about my homes give it to me actually it's two stats he is five and one all time against lamar okay and he is 11 and five straight up as an underdog in his career and against the spread that's 12 three and one as an underdog and of those 12 11 they won straight up i had a question for you is that the mahomes of past or the mahomes we're about to maybe have a conversation about well so this is probably the mahomes of past because i don't think that any of those underdogs underdog teams were looked at as being maybe just not a very good team at all i think those underdog teams were like oh maybe you're traveling to buffalo and buffalo is also a very good team i'll say this if the Chiefs lose this game, I think we have to change all stats for pre - and post-conversation and we'll make this the conversation game.

1:22:01Okay. Yeah, this is a conversation game about Mahomes.

1:22:03PFT Commenter:Yeah, this is the conversation game. Hank, you've got to be loving this conversation. I've been having this conversation since before the season started. They got smoked in the Super Bowl and everyone just acted like they're the greatest team of all time. The way that you just phrased that is a problem because you also admit to them being in the Super Bowl. Yeah. Yeah, in a weak AFC. All right, so we're not having the conversation about Mahomes yet, and this is the game that will trigger the conversation, like one way or the other. If they win, we're going to be like, hey, conversation over. We're going to make a decision on the conversation after this game.

1:22:39Yeah, I mean, obviously, with some of the scenarios, if they lose and it's close, then it's not time for the conversation. Right. But we will have a definitive answer after this.

1:22:47PFT Commenter:Yeah, we will give you your answer on Sunday night. All right, so Packers are Cowboys. Cowboys plus seven over under 47 and a half. I saw the only thing. I think the Packers are going to kill the Cowboys. No CeeDee Lamb, obviously. Did you guys see that Micah Parsons was like, yeah, my whole family is going to be there. Everyone's going to be there. He already had his suite for the year and he couldn't get a refund. That sucks. So it's the suite that he was. Oh, he paid for. He already paid for his suite in Cowboys Stadium for the year and he can't get a refund. so he has a suite so his whole family's gonna be there it's actually surprising me that jerry made him pay for the suite i know that's probably why things went sour yeah so he offered it to kenny clark i don't think kenny clark took it but uh like like for the rest of the season but how funny is that michael parsons just has a suite yeah stadium he's gonna be on a mission there's not gonna be a thank you video that goes up for him no uh but i feel like every player on the cowboys is going to be motivated yeah but you're gonna can you be motivated to if you suck you can can you be motivated to be good if you suck not good okay but you can be motivated to suck but suck harder yeah so give more effort while you're sucking can you can is mad eberflus gonna find motivation i don't think that's a guy that you want to give all the effort that he has yeah you don't want a lot of motivation i feel like the less that he says and does probably the better Okay.

1:24:16PFT Commenter:Yeah, I would agree with that. But yeah, if you're the Packers, there's one guy that's extremely, extremely motivated. If you're the Cowboys, it's pretty much the whole team that's motivated to beat that guy. But good news for the Packers is they lost last week. Right. And so, yeah, I think the Packers are going to kill them. I do too. I think it might be a load-up game for the boys. Yeah. Is that stupid? memes and i just hammered the uh team total over 27 and a half for the packers i like that because this to me feels like it might be the squarest bet that any of us make after i just heard after everything i just heard yeah it's actually with it being sunday night yes it's 27 i have such a good football number it's the squarest bet that we can make to load up on the packers because yes Micah Parsons has been wronged by the Cowboys.

1:25:04That narrative is going to be really the story of the game. And the Packers also looked at as being really good. Cowboys looked at as being really bad. But I don't give a fuck. It's my square, but I don't give a fuck play. I like that.

1:25:17PFT Commenter:Because it can make you feel better about it. You're like, hey, I know. I'm admitting that I'm a square, and I'm betting what everyone else is betting. I don't give a fuck. Yep. Sometimes squares win. Yep. It's facts. No CeeDee Lamb. Oh, but hey, I can already see it. we're going to be sitting here Sunday night having a conversation about Patrick Mahomes and Hank's going to be pumping his fist while we just like, oh, I can't believe the Cowboys are going to win outright. You could see it right now. You can close your eyes. And then I'm going to be mad at myself because I can't celebrate a Packers win because I loaded up on the Packers.

1:25:50PFT Commenter:And Hank's going to be smiling. And we're going to be having a conversation about Patrick Mahomes. And the Colts are going to not be for real. Team Total's not bad. Team Total's not bad. Team Total's not bad. There's one, though. Oh, okay, so I'm a little happier. What about the commanders? Oh. This is like Swami's picks. Go ahead. You going to say? Depends if Jayden plays or not. Okay, he does play. Then they squeak out a victory. Is he healthy? You had a really good chance to do something so funny there. God damn it. Comedic timing was missing there. Bucks-Eagles? Bucks. Okay. Outright. Oh, okay.

1:26:31PFT Commenter:So we're going to have a spicy show. And Jets. And Patriots. Well, Jets are Monday night. Jets are Monday. Oh. Yeah. Which is good because I don't really want to talk about that game. All right. We got our fantasy minute. I sent it to you, Max. Jerry's fantasy minute. None of us have watched it. Did a good job last week. He got a full minute. Oh. Looks like we got a special guest. Oh, hey. Hey, now. Oh, what is Jerry doing with his facial hair? I kind of like it. Is that for a new role? Yeah. All right. Here we go. Jerry's fantasy minute. All right, here we go. I got to do part of my tape video here.

1:27:05You ready? Time me just one minute. I don't have a watch. Okay. In your head. Start the music. Okay, stop. Start the music.

Okay, fantasy minute. We got a Jaden Daniels problem. I'm so sorry. I told everybody to pick up Jaden Daniels. Stream Gino Smith. He's going to have a good game. Chicago defense sucks. Pick up Hunter Henry. Also, I can't believe I'm saying this. What world are we living in? Pick up Kyle Pitts. Everybody can drop Boswell. Pick up Matt Prater. Matt Prater's going to have a good game. Lions defense. Everybody pick him up. And everybody can drop Travis Hunter.

1:27:51That's it.

1:27:52PFT Commenter:You do Pilates, right? What's a good Pilates move? Short spine. Short spine. Do the short spine. with the police instructing he's gonna fuck off that was great Jerry perfect got a lot of information in that too we will bring back fantasy lad boys when they play in England wouldn't feel right doing it in Ireland alright let's do our TD parlay which won last week so I'm gonna stay out of it Max, PFT and Hank hit it, we all bet it it was awesome dedication isn't born in the light of day It's carved in the quiet hours before the world blinks awake. At Boar's Head, we rise with a mission to deliver craftsmanship worthy of your table.

How big is that bear? I think Luther Burden was like plus 550.

1:29:26I was like. That's a juicy bear. But it's too much. It's a very juicy bear. My bear's not quite as juicy. That's fine. A dunze.

1:29:35PFT Commenter:Okay. Back to the well. That's what I had last week. Oh, that's you. Yeah. Yeah, I don't like the Raiders' defense. Okay. Let me pull this up quick. Get us our picks. Get us our picks. Plus 145. A dunze is plus 145. Okay. Andrews is plus 235. Wow, we're going to get juicy again with this one. Adams is plus 130, giving us almost an 18-to-1 parlay right now.

Ooh, I like it. It's gross. That's so gross. But I like it. It's gross. Zach, can you walk me through how they get there? If you envision it. To envision that amount of points hitting, I think we're throwing bombs. That's fun football.

1:32:52I would like to see high aerial throws to the end zone. Guys coming down with them. No booth reviews. Okay. Nico Collins, like four touchdowns. Let's spread the ball around a little bit.

1:33:05PFT Commenter:Okay. Okay. All right. Good job, boys. Let's get to our interviews.

Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very, very special guest for one question with a quarterback.

1:35:04PFT Commenter:It is Daniel Jones, the best quarterback in Colts history as of right now. That wasn't my question, but if you want to comment on it, you can. I'm not going to comment on that. Okay, all right, smart. All right, but incredible start to the season, 3-0. I'll start, and then we'll go around the room. One question with the quarterback, Daniel Jones. Rank these nicknames and tell us which one you – maybe like the back story between each of them. So you have Indiana Jones, Danny Dimes, and Vanilla Vic. Wow. I mean, I guess the Danny Dimes thing, I feel like, started right when I got to New York. I think that was like a Giants Instagram social media people started that.

1:35:52Indiana Jones just now. Vanilla Vic, that was, I don't know when that was, when I tripped or when I fell on Monday Night Football or whatever it was. Yeah. But I don't know, probably Indiana Jones, Vanilla Vic. Probably Danny Dimes and then Vanilla Vicks. Okay, okay. Vanilla Vicks 3. I don't want to toot my own horn. I think I came up with Indiana Jones. I think it was like five minutes after you signed with the Colts. I was like, this just makes sense. This is going to be too perfect. And it's a good one. I feel like obviously somebody else was going to come up with it and everybody would have come up with it.

1:36:29But it's a good nickname, and I feel like it fits you well. Appreciate that. Appreciate that. So my one question, one time you said real swag is no swag. can you define aura aura um aura uh did i say real swag is no swag that's a that's a quote i think i'm going to attribute that to you yeah okay all right thanks yeah um aura i guess it's just like a a vibe like a like a sense of of confidence swagger that you give off that people feel i mean that's like a new that's a new like kids i feel like younger generation term right Like, are y 'all using aura? Is that part of the vernacular these days?

1:37:15We're not. We're old. Hank does when he's talking about Jason Tatum. Okay. Yeah.

1:37:20PFT Commenter:I don't know if you came up with real swag is no swag, but I know that people were talking about it with you. I think it was your coach at Duke. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, Coach Cutty used to say that. Yeah. Coach Cutty, okay. All right. Maybe it was in regards to you. I think that it's 100 % a correct quote. I believe in that 100%. Yeah. Real swag's no swag Hank you got one? My question is Which do you prefer? I don't care Because I'm a Dan as well And I feel like it's It's interesting to be Daniel You see a lot of Daniels out there You see a lot of Dans How do you feel about Danny? Do you ever get Danny?

1:38:01PFT Commenter:I got Danny for like a little bit As like a kid in like Little League And that didn't stick I think there's just, if you become a Danny, you just stay a Danny for the rest of your life kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Go ahead. Oh yeah. My question is just, this is our Colts. This is our Colts. We bleed blue. Yeah. There we go. Yeah. It's actually, this is our Colts is our team. Oh wow. My bad. You screwed it up. Shit. You had him on the show. Did y 'all have a show? No, we need to. No, we should. He should actually do our theme song. Yeah. For part of my take. This is our take. Have you had him in the locker room?

1:38:39PFT Commenter:Has he been able to – have you seen him, met him pregame? I haven't met him. I think he performed at one of our preseason games. But I haven't met him yet. I got to meet him. Yeah. All right, Zach. Don't blow it. Hello, Danny. Hope you're doing well today, man. What's up, Zach? What's going on, man? I got just a quick question. I was curious. If the other players on your team were to describe you in three words, what three words do you think would most commonly be used or would you hope to be used to best describe you as a teammate? Wow, good question. Wow, we're getting deep. Hopefully good camaraderie.

1:39:15I think that's a theme on this team. We got good dudes, good camaraderie. I don't know. Working hard, ready to go, prepared, trying to get going. We shorten camaraderie to Rod these days.

1:39:33PFT Commenter:you know oh i like that that's awesome rod you know we're talking about a good camaraderie on the team okay that rod going yeah we got to get that rod in here yeah i would say tough tough as well you're you're a tough quarterback i would say vanilla vick yeah yeah all right uh all right max hi daniel uh max uh i know there's one question with the quarterback so but mine's going to be kind of a two-part question but still one question okay um i'm an eagles fan i love saquon it seems like you guys have a great friendship so my first part of my question is how awesome is saquon and the second part of my question is has he texted you and been like see this is pretty awesome to leave the giants

1:40:22yeah I mean I guess you know Saquon's obviously a huge superstar and you know one of the best players in the league if not the best player but he's just like a very normal dude I feel like a lot of people don't realize that expect him to be some you know different than that but he's really you know just a normal guy he's been a great friend and was a really good teammate when we were playing together. So, yeah, he's everything the Eagles fans probably think he is. And we've talked. I don't know if he said that directly, but we've definitely stayed in touch here these first few weeks. Yeah, that's a good answer.

1:41:05Great answer. Great answer. Yep. All right, Memes? How you doing, Daniel? I guess that's a question.

1:41:17I looked up Daniel Jones fun facts and it says you used to be a hooper so my question is can you still dunk can I still don't yeah I could still don't I could still don't okay that's a

1:41:28PFT Commenter:good question good question now Daniel you can finish do you have a question for us question for y 'all yeah um I don't know if I have a question for y 'all the question can also be do you guys have one more question for me yeah okay uh i actually have a question for uh for pft all right the sun the sunglasses is that is that an all the time thing you're always rocking the shades or what's uh that's just part of the aura i guess part of the swag part of the swag yeah yeah exactly rod you nailed it yeah it's good for the rod here i've got such beautiful eyes that it would be a distraction uh if somebody were to look into them so i don't want to take it away that shine for my boys build that rod up you know heck yeah i love that that's sweet i won't ask you this question but we did have andrew luck on the podcast we had eli manning on the podcast they sat on the couch and they gave us their hard count and it was awesome to hear uh if you wanted to do a hard count that would be fine for us yeah it's not a question it's a statement if you wanted to do a hard count that'd be awesome okay um i've heard a lot about andrew luck's hard i actually saw the clip that y 'all had on there and yeah yeah uh quentin talks about it a lot i think his his hard count is uh is legendary stuff i saw i think i saw eli what did eli went through like a a dummy cadence and a daytona or something yeah he got us to jump yeah y 'all jumped yeah yeah what about y 'all what about y 'all's hard count y 'all have y 'all practice i mean gruden's got to be on that work on your account, right?

1:42:55Good question. Here we go. Ready? Green 40. Here we go. Hike. Hike. Hike. Hike. That was pretty good. Is that a hike? You threw a hike in there. Yeah, I threw a hike in there. I threw a hike in there. When do we stop saying hike? Yeah. That's like six. You're like six years old. It would fuck them up.

1:43:12PFT Commenter:All the time. Because I feel like people, and maybe the hike is the dummy count. Yeah. Hike, hike. I could throw them off. Yeah, you like that? All right, will you give us yours? uh what would i go uh like a hard three kate like a hard three i think eli did this but yeah uh like hut hot and the second one's harder than the next one's pretty quick so like white 80 white hot hot hot oh that's good it's the last one it's subtle it's like a ghost note that pops in there i like that you got that by the way if you want to take a question uh with you here's one that you could maybe throw out there when you do see Quentin Nelson later today ask him if Big Cat can chug a beer faster than him because the answer is yes and I did that at the beer games and then I talked so much shit to him and I kept on saying I'm faster than you that I was like eventually like I think he might just strangle me he didn't he's a cool dude but I probably pushed it too far so also maybe throw in an apology for me alright I'll ask him about that I beat him a few weeks ago so we might have to match up yeah yeah all right winner's bracket love it i like that that was a good question big cat it was like i don't have a question but if you want to ask quentin nelson a question yeah asking the question but then apologize to him yeah asking him that question yeah right because i it's journalism baby was a moment where i was like i think he might i think this might not be funny anymore for him because i walked around literally just walking up to everyone being like hey who do you think chugs faster me or q and i did that probably about 15 times to the point that he was just like, okay, man, that's probably enough.

1:44:47PFT Commenter:And it was. It was. Yeah, it was. Yeah, but he's the man. All right, Daniel, thank you, man. We really appreciate it. Best of luck on Sunday. We're rooting for you.

1:47:02PFT Commenter:Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest. He's our good friend talking golf, golf on CBS show. It is Shane Bacon. We're getting ready for the Ryder Cup. As people are listening to this Friday morning, the Ryder Cup has begun. Shane, let's talk big picture first. Are we going to win the Ryder Cup? We as Americans, I think Europe's going to win. But obviously, historically, I think obviously it's going to lean towards the home team. I was doing a little bit of research for you boys. The last five Ryder Cups all won by the home team by an average winning score of six and a half points.

1:47:38Of course, they're only 28 points up for grabs the whole Ryder Cup. So it's been kind of blowouts over recent history with the Ryder Cup. And in terms of sporting events, I actually think it's kind of important for the Europeans to win this thing. I think putting the pressure kind of on the Americans in a couple of years at a dare manner. I mean, the Americans hadn't won a Ryder Cup on European soil since the 90s. I mean, you're talking 30 years or so since that happened. So I think actually the visiting team winning one of these things that hadn't happened since 2012 would actually be good for Ryder Cups.

1:48:10I disagree. It would be good for Ryder Cups if we did it. Yeah. It'd be bad if it happened to us. That's kind of what I'm setting it up, though, PFT. I kind of want it to be set up for that to kind of happen after the Euros win this one. Plus, the Euros are so stacked. They're bringing back 11 dudes from the winning team a couple of years ago in Rome. And when you kind of look historically over teams that have brought back basically 11 returning players, one rookie on the team, 85 Europe, they won, 89 Europe retained the Cup, 99 US won, 2012 Europe won. So when you bring back this level of players once again in Ryder Cups, historically you go on to win the thing.

1:48:47So right off the bat, we had a schedule switch up at the last minute. So they're doing the opening ceremony on Wednesday. They're doing it instead of Thursday. That got moved up a little bit. Does that affect anything at all? Does that affect when they announce the pairings? Does that affect anything about what's going to happen on Friday? Or is that just strictly like a ceremony, bring everybody in, say nice things, we're now here to officially kick off the Ryder Cup? Yeah, just because of weather. Weather expected to be in and around the area on Thursday, so they can't be outside so they just bumped it up a day uh you know tennis shoes on suits on ready to rock on wednesday and then obviously uh kind of flowing and by the way hot take with the the tennis shoes on with the suit yeah let's talk about that we need we need to discuss what are y 'all's thoughts on that i had never really thought about it before and then i saw it and i was like

1:49:34PFT Commenter:yeah the europeans look better than us yeah the no ties and tennis shoes it doesn't look like we're taking it seriously the europeans take this thing more seriously i mean that's basically what the Ryder Cup is. I had a discussion on the show the other day with Patrick McDonald, who I do the show with, and we were talking about how American media people, somebody like myself, maybe even one of you guys, PFT, I know you're rooting for Team USA, Big Cat. I'm assuming you are as well. I feel like Hank probably is rooting for Europe. Hank's rooting for the Europeans, obviously, for the Super Bowl and all that stuff.

1:50:05I mean, that's kind of a Hank thing. But when you think about American media members, it almost feels like a lot of rooting for the Europeans. And when you think about the European media at the Ryder Cup, like they are die hard cry when the europeans win i mean it is important to the people in and around these teams as it is the players so it feels like you you know i wrote something about this you guys had joe buck on a couple of weeks ago on the pod by the way great interview love joe thanks and he was talking about the production meetings for the bronco seahawks super bowl and remember when he said he met with peyton in the bus and it was you know talking about broncos football and then he with what was the legion of boom all together and he knew instantaneously it was going to be a bit of a blowout that's a little how i feel in terms of this writer so we got to check him for adderall we got to get victor hovland in check that piss out that's what i'm hearing from you so so how do

1:50:58PFT Commenter:we take it more seriously like you like is it a cultural thing because i was saying that the chance are where we get bodied in the chance when europe when always play usa's a bad chance yeah Yeah, but not only just like it's the soccer thing. They just know how to do like, you know, they'll pick like some 80s power ballad and change one word and it will sound the coolest thing ever. Whereas we don't have anything. We just yell mashed potatoes. What do we have to fix? It kind of goes back to the core of these teams. And I mean, when you think about the core of the European teams and it's just continued on.

1:51:32I mean, you know, you go back to, and obviously every golf person is going to bring up Seve, who was really kind of the face of this to start back, you know, in the 80s and 90s for the Europeans. But it's just followed suit, like the Colin Montgomery's and the Lee Westwood's and every European kind of buying into the process of this. Even the players that maybe weren't the most clutch individual players, Luke Donald, for instance, right, the captain this year, Ian Poulter, Justin Rose. all of these players have kind of bought into the idea of team. And it always has felt like the American golfer, whether it be Tiger or Phil or David Duvall into kind of the modern player.

1:52:06It's very individualized. I think there was a time Jordan Spieth was very much into this thing. And I think Justin Thomas is very much into this thing. But you still have kind of the individual markers that kind of float between these events. I mean, you guys, you know, good buddy Brooks Koepka, who has been probably the best, one or two best major champion golfer over the last decade or so in terms of golf outside of Rory, he didn't quite buy into what the Ryder Cup was all about. He played decent at it, but it felt like some of the really big superstars on the American side would show up, and it wasn't everything to them.

1:52:40They were playing golf. It was an event that they had to play. And I also think the President's Cup probably doesn't help. The fact that the Europeans get a year off in terms of team golf, The Americans have to play in something every single year. And when you do that, I'm assuming it's a bit exhausting at the end of the season to have to have something every year to have to play in and have to obviously show up for and play decent or else. Obviously, it's embarrassing for your team and your captain. Yeah, that's fair. That's a fair way to look at it. The specialness of playing team golf for your country, it's more important to the Europeans.

1:53:10And I do agree with what you're saying about the media, too. I wish our media would get behind Team USA in this. Like we will, if it turns out that when we check in on the Ryder Cup on like Saturday morning, we're winning. Then me and Big Cat will be all in on it. The most fascinating thing to me about the Ryder Cup is how the different host countries can kind of put their finger on the scale a little bit with the course. Since they're setting the course up. And this is Bethpage Black. I'm not sure if you know this. It's a very hard course. There's a sign that they put up saying, warning, experienced golfers only.

1:53:43I love that merch, by the way, where it's just like the letters on the visor. It's absurd. It's the most, it's the ugliest hat ever. Did you see the visor? Yeah. Did you see the visor one? It's that's a look, man. I want to put, I would want to punch myself in the face for wearing it, but I also want to wear it. But it's fascinating to me how you can try to mess with the course a little bit to give an advantage to your team. So what has Team USA done to Bethpage Black to make it easier for them, harder for the Europeans? so rough is cut down a bit i don't necessarily know if that actually helps the americans i think the europeans have plenty of long hitters in terms of their golfers i think you know historically americans have had longer hitters so they want the rough to be short i think they've taken a little bit of the bite out of the golf course i mean it doesn't it's not going to play to the level of a best beth plage black that you've seen at u.s opens i mean it's not going to be this punch you in the nose kind of golf course i also don't think the rider cup wants that I think you want to see birdies and eagles win holes.

1:54:40And I think pars winning holes isn't the most exciting thing. But I think the rough is going to be very, very manageable and easy to play out of. I think if us three went and played Bethpage Black like on a typical year in August, the rough would probably be more thick that time than what you're going to see this week at a Ryder Cup for these two teams. And I think the greens are going to be extremely fast. Now, again, I don't know if that necessarily helps the Americans, but I do think when you look at this team putting is in theory going to be something the americans can lean on in terms of

1:55:08PFT Commenter:an advantage all right so so the actual setup of the tournament we obviously know how it's set up but for our listeners who aren't big golf fans friday saturday sunday i know is singles how does a friday saturday format work yeah so so friday's morning foursomes which is alternate shot and then afternoon is four ball which is best ball so you know everybody's hitting their own golf ball mornings yeah no no no best ball not scramble so it's like you're two and two and then whichever member of your twosome scores lowest you use that score that's the score yeah okay yeah i watched i watched the ryder cup big cat and i mean i know you didn't play the level you wanted to play but you were dialed on the rules i thought i thought you had that pretty locked no no i'm surprised you didn't quite understand this uh this version of it and then obviously it rolls into sunday singles where everybody plays so not everybody plays any of those formats prior to it you're gonna have dude sitting out on both sides both in the foursomes and the four ball so one thing that's interesting to me about the the foursomes which is alternate shot i was looking at the stats over the years and the home team dominates the alternate shot it's not even close like singles and the uh the best ball that's kind of like up for grabs maybe a little bit favors the home team but uh yeah the alternate shot is weighted heavily like way more than any other event towards the host country.

1:56:27Do you have any idea why that could be? I don't necessarily know why the home country feels more comfortable in that environment, but it does. You're spot on. I mean, if you win foursomes, you win the Ryder Cup basically is how it works these days. If you can dominate alternate shot, you can win it. I mean, when you look at some of these, and I know parents are going to be out by the time this airs, but when you look at some of the potentials on the American side, I do think there's a slight advantage for them if they lean into it. I mean, they were so good a couple years ago in terms of the format, you know, early on in terms of the home country.

1:56:59And then obviously you can flip it with four ball. But I mean, I think there are some guys like I want Keegan to roll out Justin Thomas and Bryson, like to start alternate shot. I think those two guys pair well in terms of their capabilities on the golf course. Bryson obviously can lean on a lot of the big driving holes and JT can lean on the great iron play. And I also think on the American side, you don't have a lot of personalities. You don't have a lot of kind of big personalities like you typically have in terms of Ryder Cup team. Those are the two biggest personalities on the American team.

1:57:28And I think Keegan could roll those guys out, put them together, fire up the crowd, and then let some of the more quiet guys kind of play after.

1:57:34PFT Commenter:Is there a level that the crowd could get too nasty? I saw a little bit of that where the Europeans, but why? We should get as nasty as possible. I mean, it's golf. I think there's decorum that kind of goes along with golf. I mean, I'm with you. I think, you know, I think getting in people's kitchen makes this event a little bit more special. I mean, I take you guys, for example, right? You guys are, or I think you guys would consider yourselves golf fans at this point, but it's going to happen over the weekend with college football on Saturday and the NFL on Sunday. What's going to make Big Cat and PFT tune in?

1:58:04It's going to be a close match, and it's going to be a bit of drama like we saw in Rome with the caddy and La Cava and Rory going at it. Maybe the fans kind of get in people's ears. That's what's going to make this event kind of catch fire outside of your traditional golf fans. And I think about you guys watching on a Sunday. Is a TV going to be on the golf if it's not close? Probably not. But if people are chirping, you guys might throw a TV on. So, I mean, I think they should lean into it.

1:58:29PFT Commenter:Well, it depends if tennis is on. Hank will go tennis first, then golf. And if it's close, I would say it will probably be on. If it's not close, I would say probably we're just going to pretend it didn't happen. Yeah, we're going to say it was an exhibition match. Yeah, we're going to treat it the same way we did the Four Nations final. All right, so who on the European team is the most likely to complain about the fans? Because I want the fans to go extra hard on them. I mean, I think Tyrell Hatton is probably the easiest answer. I think Shane Lowry is probably answer number two. I would probably throw Rory in there.

1:59:01I mean, I think Rory embraces it more than most guys do in this event. I think Rory, if you polled players, he'd be one that would say, I want more chirping than less. But I could see people kind of leaning maybe on his teammate or something and then Rory getting a little offended by it. But I'd say Tyrell's the easy 1A and Shane Lowry's probably 1B. I would like to send somebody from the Louisville Police Department up to the parking lot to make sure that just in case Rory speeds off after a round if he's upset, pull his ass over. If he doesn't break the law, that's fine. But if there's a taillight out, if he doesn't signal, I want Rory held to account for American laws.

1:59:37Also, I think the U.S. kind of sent a message to the fans when they showed up wearing the tennis shoes. Like, okay, no decorum this weekend. It's off. We're letting it all hang out. So, Stu Feiner, let him have it. Just get crazy. Yeah.

1:59:50PFT Commenter:Who on each side is the most important player? Not best, but most important player. I would say it's easy to say Scotty on the American side. I mean, I think he's probably the most important player in terms of playing five matches. But I think the answer I'd go outside of the best player in the world is Xander. I mean, Xander has had a very off season this year after obviously winning two majors last year. he's been solid in Ryder Cups and President's Cups in his career we haven't quite seen Xander play great golf this year and when you're you know a top three player in the world in theory the Americans need you to play well and they're going to need Xander to kind of pair up with Patrick Cantlay and kind of do what they do in these Ryder Cups so I'd say Scottie's probably the easy answer on the American side I'd probably go Xander on that side of things and an interesting side on the on the American on the European thing is this Rory's the answer right if Rory plays well they're going to win the Ryder Cup.

2:00:40I think it's interesting to lean on what we see from Matt Fitzpatrick this week. Matt Fitzpatrick is 1-7-0 in the history of the Ryder Cup. Now, I was doing some math today for you boys. I think it's the worst percentage of anybody that's ever played more than one Ryder Cup, 12.5%. The only match he's ever won was a couple years ago alongside Rory. If he has a bad Ryder Cup, he's going to go down statistically as the worst Ryder Cup player of all time. So I think for Fitzpatrick, who has played better golf over the last two, three months, I think he's got a lot of weight on his back in terms of just showing up and playing solid.

2:01:14Or else, again, you're 1-9-0 or potentially 1-9-1. I mean, that's something you're going to have to carry with you the rest of your career.

2:01:22PFT Commenter:All right, so off that question, why is it ever talked about that Tiger sucked in the Ryder Cup? And also, why did he suck in the Ryder Cup? I think the partners got nervous. I think Tiger played with people and they kind of freaked out. You know, he played well in the President's Cup. He got the right pairings there. Obviously, President's Cup waited because America won all the time. But, you know, he'd always play with Steve Stricker and they would dominate on the President's Cup side of things. Never quite found that level of partner in terms of Ryder Cups. You think about early in his career and you kind of roll out Marco Mira and somebody like that.

2:01:54And then he was always kind of paired with just random dudes. He'd play with one guy and then play with somebody else. And I think there was a level of intimidation playing alongside Tiger when you were those guys knowing, man, I got to play so great or else I'm going to be the one people kind of blame. They're never going to blame Tiger for this.

2:02:10PFT Commenter:Does that exist at all with Scottie? Because Scottie's obviously playing out of his mind right now and had an incredible season. Is there a little bit of intimidation if you play with Scottie where you put more pressure on yourself? I think so. I mean, I think we saw a little bit of that in Rome. I think he's got the right guy alongside him. I think he'll play a lot with Russell Henley this week. And I think Russell Henley is kind of the perfect personality in terms of somebody you're going to play. By the way, speaking of personality, Big Cat, you're going to be a big fan of this. You know how the Ryder Cup rolls out and they always have weird things that the captains do?

2:02:39Yeah. Keegan Bradley, I had Harris English on the Ping podcast I do, and he said that they used Kirby Smart's Georgia personality test for the American Ryder Cup team. So I'm sure that's going to win, right?

2:02:52PFT Commenter:I had a take that the hype videos were too early in the week. Monday was too early for a hype video. I just wasn't ready for it. I want to get the hype video right before. I was just anti-golf hype videos in general. It was actually Glued Activator who had the take, but I agreed with him. Yeah. Glued Activator. Yeah. Kirby Smart's personal. The European picture with the smoke, by the way, was interesting. Did they have a smoke machine behind them? Yeah, I don't know. I didn't get that picture at all. Again, that's going to be Stu Finer's job to just blaze up a fat. Spoke him out. Yeah. And just blow in their ear.

2:03:20Blow it in Rory's ear, Stu.

2:03:22PFT Commenter:Yeah. No, that's fascinating with the Kirby Smart personality test. I would like to see what goes into that. So if we can get our hands on that, if anyone's at Georgia, let us know. I got a dumb question about alternate shot. Whose ball do they use? It's not a dumb question. If one guy plays like a tailor-made, one guy plays a top flight. Always the approach shot. So if you and me, PFT, are playing and I'm teeing off on the whole, we're using your golf ball because you're hitting the approach in. On a par three, obviously it's the guy that's hitting the golf shot in because off the tee, it doesn't really matter.

2:03:56But in terms of distance, spin rate, things like that with your irons, you're going to want to be hitting your golf ball. So it's always kind of the approach iron shot into the green. That's a good question. I would have thought about hitting off the tee. Yeah. It's your tee, your ball. Go for it. Fascinating. With Patrick Cantlay, we're used to hating Patrick. We're used to being like this slow guy. I can't stand watching him. He makes golf boring. He takes 15 minutes to finish a par three. How can we convince ourselves to root for this guy that we've grown up hating? Is there any spin zone that we can give ourselves?

2:04:32Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think Patrick Cantlay is, you know, I mean, I think you got to have a heel on your team, right? I mean, I think throughout history, great sports teams typically have the Dennis Rodman-like character that you don't want to play against, but you want him on your squad. And I think Cantlay is that. Also, I'll say this, historically in the Ryder Cup, Americans have had Patricks that do well that maybe you don't root for 51 weeks out of the year. That's true. So maybe it's a Patrick thing. That's true. I was also thinking that like Europeans, they, if you ever watch a soccer game, you guys waste time all the time.

2:05:04So this is just our version. Deal with it.

2:05:06PFT Commenter:It's a good point. What does the score have to be on Saturday night for the U.S. to have a shot? If we're down, let's say we're down. Because then obviously it's 12 matches. All each match has a point on Sunday. So it's like you can always be alive, so to speak. But what does the score have to be for us to be like, hey, we could still win this thing? Yeah, can't be down more than three. I think it's probably the way you got to look at it. I think you can be down three and have an opportunity. Historically, Americans have been better in singles. So I think if you're down three going into it, there is opportunity.

2:05:39I'm really, really fearful of the Americans if they're down at all, considering the experience on the European side. I think they got to go into singles with a lead to win this thing. I think the Europeans are going to be scary, scary tough if they're leading going into Sunday, considering basically one through ten. Now, if I was going to rank 1 through 24 of the guys on both teams, I think Sepp Staraka and Shane Lowry, with the way they're playing right now, would be my bottom two. But you can hide those guys if you have the lead. You can put them out 10, 11, or 9, and 10. But I think basically 1 through 10 on the European side right now is playing excellent, excellent golf, and they would be very, very tough with a lead.

2:06:16I think the Americans have to have it at least tied going into Sunday. All right, so then flip it.

2:06:19PFT Commenter:What is a lead that the Americans have that you're like, this is cooked? We won this. Man, I'd say four, but that was Medina. I'd say four and a half. I think if they're up four and a half going into Sunday singles, I think it's done, Dustin. Game over. Start the champagne celebration. Okay. I know we don't know what the pairings are going to be. We don't know Keegan Bradley's style, but how much of an impact can the captain have on the final score? What's the swing between a very good captain and a very bad captain? Point, point and a half. I think it's probably fair to say. I think it's a little bit like Major League Baseball, where maybe the manager doesn't have a massive impact once the game begins.

2:07:00But I think the impact leading into a game can matter. So I'd say probably a point, point and a half in terms of analytical team, people you have in the background, kind of the work you put in leading into a Ryder Cup. What about the strategy of conceding putts? I know there's usually some dispute that happens at some point during the weekend. Oh, he didn't give me that putt. I'm mad at him that he made me putt the ball one foot. And then, you know, that turns into its whole side storyline. But is there like a strategy that works best in terms of, okay, anything within two and a half feet in? Is that line three feet?

2:07:31Is it the length of the putter? Like, do they think about this going into the matches? Like, we're not conceding anything today. Ball and hole. Yeah, a pro golfer once told me about concessions. If I wouldn't want to putt it, I'm not giving it. So maybe it could be two feet but have movement, right? It could be a righty having a two-foot putt that moves left to right and you have to play just outside the hole. Maybe that's a putt you make him hit. But if it's three feet straight up the hill with no movement, maybe that's a putt you give. So I don't think there's necessarily a foot per se in terms of what you give and what you don't, but maybe the difficulty of what that putt looks like for the player.

2:08:03You know, if it's a lefty with a putt that's moving left to right, you know, it's a little bit of an easier putt. So maybe you give that putt as well.

2:08:09PFT Commenter:Is there any strategy? Like if I were playing in the Ryder Cup, I would just give everything early and then let them give me back. And then at the end, just be like, ha ha, gotcha. Like we thought we were playing nice. I do think there's a little strategy involved in giving putts early and not giving them late or maybe not having a guy hit a putt inside of five feet early. I think that happens probably more in a Ryder Cup than anything else. I mean, Big Cat, I love your strategy of conceding the hole as soon as possible. Oh, yeah. I do think that's like a cool way of going about it. Like, don't let him get the confidence.

2:08:41Yeah, right. I mean, you can see – I think you conceded one at the Ryder Cup off the tee, didn't you?

2:08:46PFT Commenter:Yeah, you got to. When you know you just – you're like, I'm fucked. Let's just go to the next hole. I mean, I don't really have anything in my golf game except trying mind tricks, and those don't work either. I also decided I think watching Hank play match play golf is among my top three favorite YouTube golf things to watch. He's so passionate. He wants to win so bad. You see the crash and burn and also the euphoria when it goes well. I just absolutely can't get enough. I wish Hank had his own golf channel and just play. I mean, I know he's not. Don't say that shit. four days a week. Well, you're in luck because there's a new video of Hank and Matchplay that's coming out either Thursday or Friday.

2:09:26So I would recommend watching that one. It's a good one. Me and PFT are also playing for five grand in a couple weeks. Yeah. So speaking of that, maybe in this video there might be something that you've never seen in Matchplay before. I'm curious to know your take on this. We were playing, and it wasn't me. It wasn't Hank. It might have been the people that we were playing with. they both ended up in the shit off the tee but in opposite directions each one of them proceeds to hit their next like two or three shots either deeper or into the water they both get frustrated they both said fuck it i concede on opposite sides of the hole and then drove to the middle each person was going to concede the hole to the other person they didn't know that they had won the hole what do you do in the event of a double concede wow yeah i don't man i'd have to call the usga and ask that i've never heard that before i do like the idea of maybe it's the maybe it's like kind of like when you put your scorecard in first in last out maybe it's the first person that mutters concession than the other person but i guess if you say it at the same time maybe it's flipping a t or or maybe it's just both loss a hole and you move on you're like if you had already conceded and then you're driving to the fairway and the other guy goes hey i give up you're like oh okay i'm just not going to tell him that i already conceded this hole yeah i mean it's everybody quits right i mean i feel like that's how i play like my kids in any board game they just like who's going to quit first because they're getting frustrated and so am i yeah

2:10:53PFT Commenter:pick it up and move on hank do you have a question for shane yeah i'm interested about the uh the debutantes you're looking at drafting the rookies the rookies okay yeah obviously that's you know we haven't seen them play in these type of tournaments. Is there one of these guys who's maybe better equipped for it or someone that's like, you know, going to be feeling the pressure more? I really like J.J. Spahn this week. I think J.J. Spahn is going to have an epic, epic Ryder Cup. Personality-wise, the way he's played this season, you know, you think about J.J. Spahn. Of course, he won the U.S. Open.

2:11:25He could have had a season where he won the U.S. Open, won the players, and won a playoff event. I mean, that's a pretty polished year when you think about what Scottie did and Rory did. basically the third best player in terms of going about your business in the biggest stages. I just feel like you can roll that in. We saw that with Max a couple times in Ryder Cups and President's Cup, kind of riding that momentum wave to major success. I see J.J. Spahn as kind of a Max Homa-like character at the Ryder Cup for the Americans. I could see him having a big, big week.

2:11:53PFT Commenter:Who, if we do lose, who can we blame? Is it, will it be Keegan because he picked the wrong guys? Probably, yeah. Who would have – because I want to have just something. If we lose, I want to be like, oh, we should have had this guy. I'm just going to tweet that. So tell me, like, what I can smartly tweet. Like, oh, they should have picked him. That was so stupid. Yeah, you know, it's interesting. It would be tough to lean on anybody, you know, outside of Keegan picking himself. I think he was the lone character that had an opportunity to be on this team. You know, Jordan Spieth wasn't playing great golf, although he's been great in Ryder Cups and kind of his history.

2:12:29And also, I think he's a great personality fit for a Ryder Cup. But really, when you think about like, you know, when you do like the bracket in March Madness and there's always that one team left off that everybody gets upset about. That wasn't really the case for either of these teams this year. I mean, there wasn't really one guy that that didn't make it that you were sitting there rolling your eyes saying, you know, ASU should have been in the bracket. Right. And so maybe you could blame Keegan, I guess, is probably the easiest person to blame. If you're looking for like a tweet to go semi golf viral.

2:12:57Yeah. But I don't know. I mean, maybe Koepka. Like, Koepka would have won in France. He'd have been an easy one to say. Where was Koepka? Even though he hadn't really played good this year. Obviously won at Bethpage Black when the PGA was there a few years ago. I like that, though.

2:13:10PFT Commenter:I'll just say Jordan Smith and Koepka would have won. Yeah, well, if you say, if you blame Keegan, you're actually also complimenting Keegan. You should have been like, hey, if he had picked himself, we would have won. It's a good call. Yeah, believe in yourself as much as I believe in you, Keegan. I'm blaming Keegan the captain, not Keegan the golfer here. It's like when you get asked in an interview, like, what's your greatest flaw? And then you somehow compliment yourself. Yeah, yeah. I try too hard. Yeah. I work. I would just work too hard. I'm too good. I'm too hard of a work. Yeah. What's it like playing with Bryson as a partner?

2:13:41And I guess this is more specifically towards alternate shot. But since he hits the ball so much further than everybody, does he actually end up putting his teammate in a position that they're not used to? Maybe. But I mean, you guys have played golf. I mean, you'd rather hit a wedge than a seven iron. I mean, I think it's awesome to play with a guy that drives the golf ball as good as he drives the golf ball. I think if you're Justin Thomas, who it's kind of been his Achilles in terms of the way he's played this season, driving the golf ball, it kind of has fallen off in terms of his consistency and his accuracy.

2:14:09If you're JT paired up with Bryson and you're like, dude, this guy's hitting a 340 and he's hitting eight fairways or nine fairways. I mean, golf's much easier from that position. I think Bryson has potential to be a big, big star this week. I mean, obviously he's going to get the crowd behind him. but with the way he's going to interact and the way he's going to kind of dive into this, if him and his partner, when Thursday morning or sorry, Friday morning to maybe go out and play Friday afternoon and he wins again, he's going to feed off of that. He's going to eat that up. And I think he's one of those guys you want to be paired up with as opposed to not wanting to be paired up.

2:14:41Now the people that are going to be cheering for Bryson, are they going to be bots or are they going to be real people? Mix probably. I'd say about half and half. I have to check the numbers. Yeah. A wild take from, from brandless Chimbala.

2:14:52PFT Commenter:uh wait what's his name brand brand brandle brandice brando brando champion brando yeah wild take from brando right to be like hey this guy all his views are bots i've listen we've been as big a haters of bryce in the past as pretty much anybody um but we can admit yeah the guy gets numbers i i kind of thought it was like the perfect take i mean it was just like you talk about a take that just gets people riled up and there's no way to kind of quantify it i thought it was maybe the perfect take about something that may or may not be true who the hell knows how many bots are watching a youtube video i thought it was kind of perfect actually uh i mean it's ridiculous but also i thought it was kind of a perfect take and again anytime you can kind of outreach golf in terms of a take you've won a little bit yeah the number's more than zero so he's not technically wrong uh zach do you have any questions about the rider cup i did have a question for shane does that play yeah shane i was curious if you uh has there been any thought to maybe a sequel to uh the golfer zoo oh we've thought about nice zach thank you for the question it's really nice that's the children's book i wrote big cat said it was too long but his kids liked it i always skip pages but that's fine yeah that's fine i i do the same thing with my kids as well um i've thought about a touch feel one so um we've talked about that i've talked to my publisher about one for maybe smaller smaller children that you can like touch and squeeze little golf things on it so thank you for the question that's very nice you i'll venmo you later okay good question jack perfect um all right so you're you really think like we're not i'm not gonna bet on europe i refuse to bet on europe but if if we were just completely if we're a canadian listening to this right now you're saying europe plus 170 is the bet i think it's the best i think it's uh i think the fact you're getting plus money on europe is wild can't do it um i would i would i would hammer europe right now.

2:16:41I think it's potential for blowout on the European side. I don't like that. This is a great reverse jinx.

2:16:49PFT Commenter:No, Hank's not going to do it. I appreciate that. Hank, no? Not going to pull the trigger? Nah. Can't do it. You've got to root for USA. And again, we're just going to pretend it didn't happen if we lose. Yeah, it's fine. It's not a big deal. Like, golf season is over. Will you guys talk about it on Monday if Europe wins? 60 seconds most. Yeah, I mean, we've Skipped over a lot of stuff that didn't go our way. Yeah. First bias this bias could be. We're going to talk about that Bill's Ravens game from Monday night. Yeah. That's what we'll dip into. Yeah, way better. Yeah. Way better. All right, I got one last question.

2:17:21PFT Commenter:Roback question. R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. Promo code TAKE. Roback.com. Promo code TAKE. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com. Promo code TAKE. What hole is your favorite hole at Bethpage Black? Love 17. I think it's going to be pivotal, obviously, late in the round. But I think 17, if I was going to set up shop, I'd go to 17 and watch that. I think that'll be where most matches end up. 18's probably one of the weaker closing holes you'll see in terms of championship golf. It's fine, but it's not the most exciting. I think 17 is the spot. Okay, what's the easiest hole? What are the birdie holes out there?

2:18:00The par fives are birdieable. I think two will be pretty gettable as well. Actually, one, with the tees moved up, I think Rory and Bryson will get close to driving the first. They move the tees up for the grandstands. I think there's going to be an opportunity for dudes to maybe get in those greenside bunkers or get really close to the front of the green there. I'm off the tee, the longest hitter. So one and two is not a bad spot to be as well. Okay, that's awesome. I like that. How does the pairing announcement go? Is it like we do when we do the Ryder Cup where the team announces one pair and then Europe has a chance to respond and they get to name the next two pairs?

2:18:31No, no. Yeah, that's President's Cup is the comp, which I think is the way to do it. This is you present both, which is I don't love it as much. I just don't think it's as much fun, but that's the way they do it. That's kind of when Rory was talking about the last time out with Cantlay and where he was going to fall on in terms of getting put out there in the third spot. The presentation is simultaneous. Okay. Is it really against the rules if somebody hits a ball deep into the rough, into the gallery and they kick it out for a united states player is that is that really against the rules a fan kicks it out no rub of the green oh oh okay well yeah listen long island you have a chance to prove new york is a great sports guy i don't want to tell you i don't want to tell you to do anything but i'm all out there this this would be the funniest thing to ever happen to golf if if we were just fairway every single drive you're pretty much on the team if you're in the galleries yeah that's that's an interesting home field advantage that i haven't thought about it's like you just act like it hits you yeah just bounce yeah it's like right it's like when you're bowling with bumpers you're golfing with them yeah i was i was working uh last week with my buddy james nitties and he said he hit one uh in a tour event one time and it hit a lady's head and kicked 30 yards out of bounds and she's yelling at him he yelled four and she was yelling at him when he got up there about hitting her.

2:19:54And he's like, my ball's like in the hazard now. Right. Now I'm going to miss the cut. Now I had an opportunity for that to be like in the left rough to a right hole location and I might make birdie. So, yeah, kind of rubbing the green there. Tiger had some of those guys back in the day that would give him a little foot wedge sometimes, help him out. Just kick it out. Yeah, just kick it out. Yeah. I mean, you guys are true American fans. I mean, the rider comes great content, by the way. Hey, Big Cat, listen, the driver everywhere on the par three I'm a big fan of. I don't like people trying to talk you out of it.

2:20:26I also think you should go driver, three-wood, five-wood, seven-wood, nine-wood in the bag. Almost no irons. I like that. I think that would help you out a lot.

2:20:35PFT Commenter:I have two years to get better. I have two years until the next Ryder Cup. I have to do it in secret because I want to just one day just be better than Hank. It would devastate him. So I got to figure it out. I need some golf lessons. It would be sick if you showed up. By the way, last question for you guys. There's three of you guys. You guys have been in Chicago for, what, two years now? Yeah. What's the total number of country clubs between the three boys in the Chicago area? I think we're up to two now. No. Did you join one? No. Oh. I think we're up to two now. Hank, are you sure? There's one.

2:21:10I think we're about to be at two, though, aren't we, Hank? Yeah, there's one right now. Oh, yeah.

2:21:13PFT Commenter:We might be at two. Nice. We might be at two. Hank, just the sweet boy over there. I'm going to have to fly to Chicago and play some G. Yeah. Those clubs are pretty nice. Love to have you. Oh, man. All right, Shane, you're the best. Thank you so much, man. Have fun out there. Thank you, fellas. This week's Fyre Fest is brought to you by Morgan & Morgan.

2:22:15PFT Commenter:Henry. um fire fest nothing crazy nothing really at all i mean that people were saying it was a fire fest i didn't really look at it that way i'm washed though uh one of our co-workers went semi-viral uh for posting a clip being like yeah like oh jacob said this really funny people always ask me you know they say they don't know barstool and they asked me about hank who's just like some no-name producer behind the scenes um which i just viewed as like me being washed but i guess some people like you got a fire fest yeah but then other people said you're the co-host of the number one sports podcast yeah start to gas yeah gas number one hank hank guy i actually think hank is like you fly the highest when you get put down by something so like in the aftermath of someone saying that everybody was like you're out of your fucking mind hank yeah it was honestly i appreciated the support i appreciated the support and i honestly understood what she's saying because like i enjoy it it makes me laugh a lot of the times when people say you work at barstool people are like i don't really follow barstool and then they will bring up like 10 barstool things it's like well yeah you follow barstool yeah all those things are barstool yeah um hank's the glue guy of this show so i always has been i understood you are you're the glue of this show what does that mean it means you're the glue if you weren't here this show would fall apart and we get high when we smell you yeah wow thank you but yeah it was it was uh It was actually nice.

2:23:43A lot of people were supportive, so I appreciated it. That's good. But not really a fire fest. I don't really have any fire fest. My car didn't get broken into. I actually got it all fixed. Oh, hell yes. Drive's good now. Going to Penn State this weekend. State Penn?

2:23:56PFT Commenter:State Penn. Might be on the Jumbotron. Who knows? Stay tuned. Whoa, what? Awesome, Hank. If we are. The boards are going to be on the Jumbotron? Possibly. We are. Yeah. You got a great golf video coming out. James Franklin, can you win the big one? Yeah. It is a good golf video. It's a good golf video. I agree. People should watch it. And when we have$5 ,000 on the line, I'm going to fucking smoke you. Okay. Not that I didn't in this one. I love when you guys fight over golf. Yeah. So does Shane Bacon. Yeah. That is a pretty hilarious reveal that Hank has now two golf club memberships. Yeah. I don't, by the way.

2:24:36PFT Commenter:You're in process. I'm thinking about it. You're loading. Second loading. You've mentally committed to it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to unliquify.

2:24:48PFT Commenter:Gotta unliquify. Yeah, don't be sitting around with a pound of cash. Sound advice. Yeah. It is. It's an investment. Why don't you invest it? I am. He's investing in himself. Yeah. How many will you get to? I don't think I'll go more than this. Unless I get, like, fuck you money. Yeah. I don't think anybody stops at two. I think everybody stops at one. Yeah. But if you go two. Yeah. It's like cats. You're just going to get more. You're just going to be a golf mentor. There's functionality. It's for a reason. Yeah, like you got one club you can play at. You need another club you can play at. Functionality.

2:25:20PFT Commenter:Yeah. Right. Yeah, if you get bored, then we'll just go to the other one. Yeah. All right. All right, PF2, you're at Fyre Fest. Can Shane come in here? Oh. Can we get Shane in the booth for mine? Shany. Shany boy. Yeah. So we do the morning show. I do Thursday mornings on FS1, and we had an idea. Big Cat does the morning show as well. Hank, we need to get you on the morning show. No, I'm thinking Jacob. Yeah. Yeah, probably. Get some eyeballs. I saw the awful announcing. We need some eye candy. So on today's morning show, me and Jeff D. Lowe came up with this idea like five years ago. We wanted to do a cooking show where we would try to figure out how to prepare a football and how to cook a football.

2:26:06and I asked Donnie, Chef Donnie here, if he wanted to figure out how to cook a football for me and ate it on the morning show. I feel awful right now. My stomach is terrible. But guess what? I am football now. Football is a part of my blood. It'll always be in me. I'm committed to it. But when I was looking for the football to cook, I stopped by Shane's desk because he had a football on there. And so I grabbed Shane's football and Shane was like, don't take that. That's my football. And then I looked at memes And he was like, no, it's not actually his football. That's just – it's just an office football that Shane has claimed for himself.

2:26:42And so I took the football and we cooked the football. Max even sent Shane a picture of the football being prepared, like deflated and chilling in water. And Shane got really upset about that because it was like we were sending a ransom video. Why are you shaking your head, Shane? A picture of a dead loved one. There were so many lies that were just – So did you consider this your football? No. I did not tell you don't take that it's my football you asked can I take this and I said yeah can you please bring it back I'm going to eat it there's like a back story behind why I asked I don't know if it's alright to say but Max can be a little ADD sometimes

2:27:26PFT Commenter:how dare you how dare you that's fair to say When you say that, I just wanted to quickly say, what if every pass before the line of scrimmage was a fumble? Oh, that's a good take. Yeah. I also don't think that you can say that Max is a little anything. Well, anyways. You can certainly say you're a little lot of things. There we go. So over the last couple months, now Max sits close to me. He will randomly stand up and take things off my desk and be talking to somebody. and then just forget where he puts it or not put it back. And then I've had like – To be fair, Shane was so worried. I found the football, brought it back to him.

2:28:09He said, no, this isn't the right football. Went and checked the security tapes to see if it was the right football. It was the right football. So that's the extent of how much he cares about this football. That's a lot of caring about the football. It's the perfect throwing ball, though. It's like perfectly worn. It was the perfect throwing ball. And I only, like, so things will go missing from my desk. And that week I lost a Tide stick and I got Polynesian sauce on my sweatshirt. So I couldn't get the stain out. So, Max, he returned the correct football to your desk is what I'm hearing. No, he did not return to the desk.

2:28:45Max, what did you do with that football? He threw it onto the chair. Right next to our desk. Well, it's behind the monitors and stuff. I couldn't see it. then Beams grabbed it and then put it in like a case of things on the ground. It was – I overreacted. The case of things on the ground right next to your dad. But that's why I asked, can you please bring it back because things will go – and like I know Jack's taken the football before and just like left it in the net out there and stuff. It's your football. Well, no. To Shane's credit, people do just take stuff off. They do this. The golden – the Stella Blue golden mug's gone missing from my desk.

2:29:20That was not me.

2:29:21PFT Commenter:You going to try to find the football makes me think it's your football. Otherwise, you wouldn't care. Well, I just like the football. It's not something I want to lose track of. It's okay to say it's your football. No, it's not my football. The only reason I ask is just because. I tried to give him another football that was the exact same make, exact same. It was the Duke, same football. And he's like, no, that's not the right football. Yeah, it's your football. No. So all I did was I asked he could bring it back. And then he goes, no, I'm going to eat it. Right. Which I didn't. I thought he was just going to borrow it for like an ad or something.

2:29:48So I just asked if he could bring it back. And then all I asked was, does it have to be this football? Because there's 20 footballs out there that no one touches.

2:29:56PFT Commenter:And that's your football? No. It's okay to say it's your football. It is the best football. Everyone uses it. It's good football. It's just the perfect football for me. Well, everyone can use it, but you have to bring it back to Shane's desk. Right, because it's your football. Yeah. It didn't seem like I was allowed to use it when I was using it. That's just not true. No, but that's because you take stuff and you wouldn't put it back. I could have taken the Tide stick. That doesn't seem like my ADD brain would take a tight stick. I used to have a DraftKings basketball. I went missing off my desk.

2:30:25People just grab stuff off my desk. That football belonged to Shane. All I did was ask if you could bring it back. But I couldn't because I was going to eat it. Well, you said, can I take this? And I said, yeah, can you please bring it back when you're done? And then you go, no, I'm going to eat it. The look on your face, it was so sad when you realized that that football was going to get eaten. And I felt really bad about it. But if it makes you feel any better, after I ate it, I've been crapping my brains out. Apparently there's like chemicals and glue. I have a physical tomorrow and my doctor's going to be like, how's your diet?

2:30:54And I'm going to have to be like, well, I ate a football yesterday, had glue and stuff in it. So probably not the cleanest diet in the world. So now I'm a little bit concerned though, because Shane, what I did, I wanted you to think that I took your football and I ate it. So then I actually, I saved your football. Oh, good. Which I have right here. but now I think I might have saved the wrong football and I think we did cook and eat your football. Well, it's not his football. The football that was on, that was Shane's. Right. Don't say it's Shane's football. Don't say it's Shane's football. No, it's not his football.

2:31:32I want to see the football. I'm going to buy a football. I'm going to buy it, dude. Would that be your football? That would be your football. So I don't have to deal with. Is that your football? I thought that this was Shane's football, but then now I'm hearing that the football was changed and I think that accidentally... Shane, is that your football? I can't tell. I need to feel... Wait, let me see the... You still won't know. We've known... It has been proven that you don't know because this was the football that we found the security tapes for that you were adamant was not the same football, but it was the same football.

2:32:02Okay, well, there's also a scuff mark on the side, which after our conversation, I decided to look at so I could differentiate if it's our ball or not.

2:32:09PFT Commenter:Shane, to fully feel this football and see if it's your football, do you need to put it on your rings? I do not. Okay. I want to see those rings so bad. This is our football. This is our football. That's your football. Yes. Okay. So he would know. He would know because he touches it. Yep. That sounds like a good football owner. Yeah. Thank you for saving that. That's very kind. I do feel like I'm going to die, though. Like low-key. The football gods. Low-key, low-key. Yeah. Whatever's in a football, it's... Again, I'm glad that I did it. Yeah. I'm really glad that I ate that football, but I'm going to have a rough day.

2:32:46PFT Commenter:All right. My Fire Fest, we touched on it Wednesday. Wisconsin football is in a bad spot. I've also then just signed myself up for a shitload of work because I did a hit on ESPN Milwaukee on Thursday or Wednesday, and I told my good friend Ben Bruss if he gets a list of the richest people who went to University of Wisconsin, I will cold call them for a video and live stream it. So that's just more work and maybe a legal work. Is it? I don't know. But I'm going to have to do that. You can't live stream because you have to say, like, I'm recording. You're live. You're live, yeah. Just hitting everyone up for money.

2:33:20PFT Commenter:What if you just made a podcast? Maybe. I just know that I used to do, I did that for a job for a little bit, like doing the telefund, and it's the worst job ever to call someone, cold call someone, be like, hey, can we get some money? But I will do it, and I'm not looking forward to it, but I'm going to do it. Yeah. Sales is, it'll take its toll on you. Yeah. All right, Zach, finish us off. My Firefest of the Week is, we may have recently talked about how my apartment building did get sold to a different company. Oh, I don't remember this. All right, we got some letters under the door the other day that was like, hey, great having you.

2:33:55We're gone. We're selling this building. New guy owns the building. My Firefest of the Week is like, we've been invaded by new employees of the building. No more familiar faces. It feels like I'm living in enemy lines. Oh, yeah. New regime. That's exactly what it feels like. There's like an unsettling energy of like, will we be able to continue to stay here? We got different policies with the mail. Are they just trying to squeeze you out? That could also be the case. It feels really tense in every floor of the building now. No pajamas in the hallway? I wouldn't even risk it. I might even go formal, formal in the hallway now.

2:34:33Yeah. Yeah, it's, I don't know what the future looks like, but it does look like it's every time, every day I get home, it feels like an away game now rather than like a safe space. Are they doing stuff where since they're, since they're new, are they like putting breakfast out for you guys or trying to make it seem like they're a cool management company? So the other day they put like two pots of coffee downstairs by the front door. But there was also like six new guys walking around, shirts tucked in with clipboards, just noting stuff down. I was like, this can't be good. Yeah, that's what they do.

2:35:06They'll put out like the worst continental breakfast and be like, hey, we're such a nice management company. I look forward to working with you guys as your tenant here. By the way, rent's going up$1 ,000 a month. But you get, look, we got a bagel for you. I can feel that. There's like a looming sense of that's what's going to happen. Yeah. We got big Texas, but by the way, we're going to 30 % increase. See ya. Yeah.

2:35:27PFT Commenter:Don't let them do that to you, Zach. I'm going to try to stand strong, but I don't think it's going to work out. Your lease is up, what, six months? Yeah, pretty soon. You could organize a hardball. Zach, you could organize a rent strike. Yeah. Like a picket? Well, just tell everybody in your apartment building, don't pay the rent to the new company. They can't evict all of us. That's another thing. They shut the portal down, so I got to figure out how to get a checkbook. I've never done that before. Okay. Have you ever written a check? I have not. Outside of, like, school, like, teaching you how to write a check.

2:35:59Okay. I've been checklist. Do you guys have checkbooks? I do. I do not have a checkbook. Me neither. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Good show, boys. Got to pay the dink guy somehow.

2:36:12PFT Commenter:Ready? No. Three. He's out. Penalty box. No. Ready? Ready, set, no. No. Numbers. Three. Oh. That was close. Damn. I'll go four. I'm going to go five. I got it. I'm looking at a video of Jaden practicing right now. I think he's playing. I got it. I'll go 22. 39. 33. The Zach reveals all time. 99 poke Just look at the numbers on the thing Yeah Zach you're hot What was your number Zach? 39 Zach said he's actively trying not to get it 97 Well memes is actively trying not to get it too Guy will never get it I've stood on that hill It's much more impressive to not get it Yeah right How many people have gotten it?

2:37:17Everybody

2:37:18PFT Commenter:Yeah. How many people have it? One guy. You've been trying to get it every time. One guy has gotten it. Love you guys.
