2:01yeah pardon my take yeah pardon my take yeah pardon my take yeah pardon my take welcome to pardon my take presented by draft kings the crown is yours today is friday october 10th and PFT. What a night of sports we just had. It had a little bit of everything, man. It was an incredible night of sports. Just a lot of drama, a lot of positive energy, a lot of heartbreak as well. Big Cat, congratulations. Let me be the first to congratulate Big Cat. Still one more. On the Cubs. Still one more. Still one more. We're going back to Milwaukee. You guys packed a suit tonight. You said, hey, we're not done yet.

2:47We're going to make a trip up north. Yep. And what a dong fest you went to tonight. We pounded him. We'll talk about the Cubs game. I was there. It was electric. I got some anecdotes, some great stories, but I missed everything that happened here. Where should we start? Do you want to start with football? Because a lot happened in football, or do you want to start in baseball? Because a lot happened in baseball, too. Let's start with baseball. The Yankees lose. The Yankees lose. That clip of Vladdy and David Ortiz going back and forth. Do it one more time. The Yankees lose. And then you had Derek Jeter just sitting there.

3:24And A-Rod. And A-Rod. But you could tell it pissed. I think it pissed Derek Jeter off more. Yeah. It embarrassed A-Rod. Correct. But Derek Jeter was like, why the fuck am I subjecting myself to this right now? Yes. I saw someone say that, like, Derek Jeter and A-Rod kind of the first time they laughed with it because they knew, you know, it's part of the show. And then David Ortiz did it so many times to the point where they got mad again. Yeah. Which I loved. Right. They went through the wall. He just kept doing it. Here's what I think. And, you know, I know they're kind of technically our coworkers at Fox Sports.

3:54I don't know how you can have chemistry on a show like that if you're rubbing your coworkers face in a heartbreaking playoff loss. Yeah. I don't think that that's how you build a good sports show. No. And that kind of goes against what we stand for here, part of my take. Bad camaraderie. Bad camaraderie. Yeah. So, yeah, the Yankees lose. They're going to bring back Aaron Boone. He said he expects to be back. The Jays are hot. The Jays are awesome. Vladdy, I saw it. There was a stat out there. It was like four or five guys on the Yankees combined. Like Volpe, Grisham. I think it was Jazz Chisholm.

4:26It was four guys, maybe five guys who had 10 hits. And Vladdy had nine himself. They just pounded him. That was awesome. Yeah, but Aaron Judge hit that home run. Listen, that one, I said it. If they don't win that series, it is a footnote. And it is absolutely a footnote. I think Aaron Judge finished over.500 in the playoffs hitting. Yeah. And he kept on hitting. I feel like there was a guy in the Phillies-Dodgers series that was even higher than that. Who was that? Was that Enrique? I don't know. Was that Kike? I don't know. But it's crazy. He had a great series, and Vladdy had an awesome series, too.

5:01And guess what? The Jays? The Blue Jays? Yeah. The Toronto Blue Jays. They're getting Bo Bichette back, I think, in the next round. So the Blue Jays, they're going to be a handful. And they're fun. And they also get to watch the other AL series go to five. The Tigers win game four. Javi Baez. Fucking love him forever. It's going back to Seattle, which is, I mean, that's such a huge advantage for the Jays. Because now, you know, they got an elimination game on Friday. They play game one on Sunday. And that series is going to be fun. It's going to be fun to watch at game five. I got one more quote from Vladdy Jr.

5:40Oh, yeah. This goes back to 2022. He was doing an interview. they asked him about playing against the Yankees, and he said, I like to play in New York. I like to kill the Yankees. I would never sign with the Yankees, not even dead. Oh, I like that. There's some good hate there. Yeah. And I also love the - That's from birth. Yeah. I love the scuba mask that he's wearing as he's pouring beers on his face. Yeah. He's got the snorkel. He's got the snorkel up there just so he can breathe while he's chugging. Yep. That looked like a very fun scene. I think the Yankees should personally, they should extend Aaron Boone.

6:12We've said that on this podcast, but I feel like you need a steady hand. And I don't really know what Aaron Boone does with that team besides just like chews. He just chews stuff. Yeah. He's like a dog. Yeah. If you leave him alone and there's something in front of him, he will pick it up in his mouth and he will chew it. But outside of that, I don't know. I don't know what his day-to-day is. His bubbles are huge. Yeah. Yeah. So I and then I guess we talk about the Cubs right now. They forced game five. It was electric at Wrigley Wednesday night, Thursday night. I was there for both of them. It was just awesome.

6:43The Cubs' bats woke up. Matthew Boyd redeemed himself from Saturday's performance, gave us some strong innings, the bullpen. Nico is another guy. He's hitting like 400. Ian Happ, who has not been good, but that's why you give a guy like Ian Happ a long leash because he hits a huge three-run homer. The Cubs just scored more runs later on in the game tonight, but they are just a first-inning team. Didn't Ian Happ also hit three balls that went to the warning track? He should have had three home runs tonight. Awesome night from him. It was crazy. Everyone was hitting. Matt Shaw finally hit. I actually said to Titus and Eddie and my friend Dave, who I was at the game with, I was like, at some point, Matt Shaw had not gotten a hit in the playoffs, so his average was zero.

7:29I was like, do you even want to get a hit at this point? Because then it's just going to be like 10 cents. Yeah, because if somebody sees your stat line, it's like, oh, he batted zero in the playoffs. You assume maybe he's a pinch hitter. Yeah. Maybe he got in like maybe for one game. Yeah, right. And that's it? Right, this is his first game. But if it's like a weird number that's very low, then you're like, oh, no. He has grinded his ass off, like, you know, woke up in this game. Pitching, like I said, the bullpen has been awesome outside of a Kittredge mistake. The bullpen has been absolute nails the last two games.

8:00And all the pressure is back on the Brewers because Freddie Peralta went tonight. And I got to say, one of the best moments, Hank was there too. We weren't sitting together. But in the first inning, there was just a completely organic chant that started for the whole stadium that was just Freddie, Freddie. And like those moments where everyone's doing it and it's like not planned at all. And it just it continued for like four straight innings where I was actually practicing my Freddie chant when we when when we were pitching. I was like, I got to stay warm for the next inning because when he comes back out, we're going to have to say Freddie again.

8:38Shout out to the absolute legend because there's a guy or probably a group of guys out there that knows that it's them that started the entire Freddie Chan. Yeah. And they can say for the rest of their lives, yeah, that was me. I got that chance started. It was somewhere like under the overhang on the third base side. So those guys. Legends. Probably like the 200 level third base side, probably halfway between home and third base. Whoever was there, you started the Freddie Chan. I can tell you that was where it came from. and the whole crowd had it, and it was fucking awesome. They're going to tell their kids about that one day.

9:12Yeah. They're going to tell their grandkids about that. They're going to have a blast retelling that. And listen, game five is going to be like the Cubs don't really have pitching. Cade Horton can't come back unless someone gets hurt, which I was actually – I don't want anyone to get hurt, but I was also hoping that Ben Brown, he was warming up. I was hoping he'd come in and do the Rodney Dangerfield out of my arm. That would have made Milwaukee so mad. Yeah. Cade Horton could have started game five. So we don't have pitching. They don't really have pitching. It's going to be just grab your nuts.

9:42Who wants it more? Yeah, who wants it more? I'm just happy we're going back. The season's continuing. It's been so much fun. I also appreciated the Green Bay sucks. Like, late in the game, the game was kind of over. It was 5-0, 6-0, and it turned into Green Bay sucks. Green Bay sucks, yep. And then the – oh, special shout-out, Renee, who sold me the 50-50 ticket. It was her birthday today. Oh, happy birthday. So I was nervous about this game. I put my kids to bed and it was like I looked at the clock it was like 7 0 5 and the game started at 8 I just went to Wrigley I ate two hot dogs just sitting by myself in my seats uh for I was probably there for like 45 minutes before the game you gotta soak it all in yeah just talk to hey I was just like I I don't know what to do right now a couple hot dogs to like calm your senses a little bit yeah younger me would have gone to the bar but like I was like I had to put my kids to bed so I'm I'm just gonna do that and then I'm just gonna go to Wrigley and it was the eight o 'clock start is tests of a man of my age but it was fucking awesome hank it was electric right didn't win it was i just checked uh i didn't either that's okay it's all right i mean listen we don't we don't win hope we're four and one right now in the playoffs at home and the one loss is when i won the 50 50 so yeah um but yeah awesome awesome crowd just popping like from the first pitch just always into it standing the whole time eight o 'clock on a thursday in Chicago.

11:02People were it was buzzed. Blasted. Blasted in the crowd. You could just feel it right from the first pitch. People are fucking tuned up. So it was awesome. You guys were streaming. Yeah. Myself, Max, Che, Chief, Nicky Smokes, Connor. There were a lot of guys there tonight. Shout out to everybody that was in the cave. A lot of sports going on. So we watched your game when it was on. We also watched the football game, which was incredible. I don't know if you read anything about the football game tonight. I saw some Cam Scatterboo. It was a Cam Scatterboo clinic. I don't know if we want to get to that first or if we want to Max, you decide.

11:43You can do whatever the fuck you want. Okay. Alright. Would it be better if we eased into it by talking about the last Phillies-Dodgers game? No, let's not talk about that game. You won game three. That was a great game. Schwarber. Schwarber yeah that was so sad one last night lost tonight that was so sad when they sent Clayton Kershaw out there and they were just like go burn some outs for us yeah and he was so thankful to get out of that inning yeah that was a tough watch for him yeah and he kept talking about him like he was a dog like an old dog it's like and one last round for old Yeller out there get him out there yeah so I don't really know how to get into this I don't either because I do want to be I want to be sensitive to Max's emotional state right now.

12:30It was a tough game. The Phillies fought their dicks off tonight. They didn't really score that many runs. Yeah, the arms fought. The arms fought for sure. The arms fought. The defense fought. No. What? What are you talking about? Okay, I'm trying. I'm trying. I'm trying. Okay, obviously until the end. Yes. That's fair. I'm saying up until that point, right? That was the worst way to lose a game. Yeah. Yes, it's the worst way It's the worst possible way to lose It's Bill Buckner It's the worst loss in playoff history Since Bill Buckner He should have gone to first You think? I do think so, yes JT Real Muto, he thought to The screenshot of him pointing Like throw to the first base That is a play that you would be shocked to see On a little league field Yeah And I feel bad for the guy Like I swear to God I truly feel bad for him He did his job As a pitcher And then I've never seen A more panicked Situation in my life He didn't know what He didn't know what to do And I can't imagine how he's feeling right now The entire city of Philadelphia It's weird Half of the city of Philadelphia Wants him dead and then half of the city of Philadelphia knows that it's so bad that they feel bad for him because it's that bad.

14:05They know that the other half is so mad. Like, yeah, I can't imagine what that – I know how bad I feel right now. I cannot imagine how bad Ryan Kirkring feels right now. How bad do you feel right now? I mean, it's the worst sports day of my life. It's the worst sports day of my life. Is it because of the Flyers, too? I don't give a fuck about the Flyers. It was a very bad one. Hank? To lose a series. I was at the Cubs game. I was at the bar before. I watched the Phillies walk in the tying run. So it was 1-1. And then I went into the game. Which was bullshit. It was a strike. That was a strike.

14:46That was a strike. And the fact that the umpire went up to Christopher Sanchez after the game and apologized for not calling it a strike. Yeah. He's such bullshit. I didn't have sound on, so I was watching from a bar, and from my vantage point, I was like, that was like a strike, but I wasn't paying too close attention. Went into the game, and then in the game, I was like, oh, old school. They got the scoreboard. Yeah. I'll just keep track of the scoreboard. And then, you know, it went from 1-1 to 2-1. And I'm like, and then seeing how that happened. You can't convey how it happened. No. No, and it's like usually it was so bad that our group text was just completely silent.

15:24There was no. That was something that you would see on us playing Barstool After Dark. Yeah. Memes would make that error in 16-inch softball. I don't even know if he would. Tom Lay. I think he would at least throw to first. I think he would at least throw to first. He's trying to get the lead runner. With two outs. Yeah, it made no sense. And Max was fighting his dick off on the stream. Max pulled out all the stops. So Max went overalls tonight, and then he waited for what? The seventh inning? Eighth inning after they tied it up. The pigtails came out. The pigtails. How did the pigtails do? Pigtails retired forever.

16:01Forever? Forever. Why? Forever. You look so cute. Forever. Never again. Never? Never again. Ever. Ever. That's a long time. Want me to say it one more time? That's a long time, Max. Never. You're not even looking at us. I know. I can't look at you. I am looking straight down this entire podcast. He is. I will not be making eye contact with a single one. I was supporting the Phillies. I was rooting for the Phillies tonight. I wanted to see Max keep fighting. I wanted the Phillies to win so Max didn't have to go to a wedding this weekend. I'm going to get three hours of sleep tonight. I wanted the Phillies to win.

16:37And then when they lost, I do want to apologize for the look that I gave you after they lost. But in fairness to me. Can you pull up the look? No, the look is fair. I'm not upset with the look. You know I was rooting for the 30s. I'm not upset with the look. The look was fair. The look was fair. I mean, it was a truly, truly shocking, shocking way to get eliminated from postseason. I had to take a peek. Shocking way. I had to see what Max, what he looked like in that moment. Because sometimes when Max gets stressed or he gets obsessed. This is such bullshit. This is my job to also do this. To pull it up.

17:12He contorts his body and goes crisscross applesauce and hands over the... I want to see what he looked like. And I couldn't help but crack a smile on that moment. But I did... No, I'm not... That's fair. That was fair. And then Max just kind of... He went through it for a while. Fortunately, in the office, we've got a lot of really easy stuff to smash against other stuff that doesn't cause any permanent damage. So Max took out his anger on some wiffle ball bats, and that's fine. I also punched the fuck out of one of those lockers. and I'm for sure. It's not. It'll be. It's just a bruise. It'll be.

17:45Yeah, it'll be a bruise. It'll be okay.

17:50There's a look. Oh, no. I just had. I had to see because he was like covering his ears and he had his legs crossed up and he had the pigtails and the overalls. But yeah, Max. Max fought his dick off tonight and then fought so hard in every game. And then the Eagles game started. Well, I have a question about. so that happens max what happens right after in in in in the cave in your head and in the world what what went through nothing it is just blank nothingness i walked into tears the closet okay i want the uh that's where you film the video this no i walked into the snack pantry okay just Just out of, like, that's just muscle memory?

18:35Like, no, just like that was the darkest place that I could find. I just wanted to be in a dark, in, like, a super dark room. Did you get it? Shut up. Whatever. You're a fucking prick. Who? You. Oh, it was a joke. Muscle memory. That was a funny joke. And then I walked into the mostly sports room because that was dark. How long were you in the closet for? I don't know. Oh, you could tell him he's a prick, too? well no i just want to know when he came out of the closet

19:09ferris ferry that's a similar joke i mean yeah i'm just i'm just not going to continue to answer the question okay sorry sorry sorry okay so then you walked into the mostly sports i just wanted to be in a dark room and then i was like maybe someone from mostly sports is going to walk in here i don't want them i don't want them to see me and then i was going to come in here of course memes was in here so that was the last place i was gonna go so then i went into the the wake up mincy studio i thought i would be safe in the wake up mincy studio and i just laid down there for 40 minutes probably no felt like 40 minutes it was probably like 15 okay and i i don't i didn't even have my phone i just i just actually no i did get my i don't fucking know i don't fucking I obviously got my phone because I took that video.

20:00Did you watch replays? No, I watched nothing. Read recaps? I watched nothing. Recaps. I might not open my cell phone for the rest of this weekend. That'd be fair. Yeah. What about... You want to talk about the Eagles? Well, I have a question because I got a text from PFT during all this, and he just texted me, said, I think Max is turning into the Joker. Yeah. What was that? Well, so after the period of darkness that he spent, he came out and watched the Eagles game, and things started to go very, very poorly for the Eagles in the football game. And Max was sitting in the back row, and he just started laughing.

20:44And he just started going, this is hilarious. This is hilarious. But he was, like, getting angrier, as he kept saying it. Like, there was a fumble. I think it was Saquon fumbled. The hilarious was when it was just an easy kick return and fucking Tank Bigsby just dropped it out of bounds at the two-yard line. Yeah. And you were just like, everything bad is happening all at once. And his reaction was just like, he started laughing and going, hilarious. This is hilarious. But he was getting angrier and angrier. And then I think there might have been some smashing after that. kind of got some of the rage out of your system a little bit you smashed a couple bats yeah i mean i don't know i was very quiet and you know trying to bottle my emotion i was really trying to bottle my emotion so i didn't have another incident and i that was hank chuckle yeah i know okay and he's full on yeah no and then once there there was jalen hurts threw a pick in the red zone.

21:53The Giants scored another touchdown to make a fucking 34-17. Then there was a fumble on a kick return. Jalen Hurts starts driving again, and A.J. Dillon just fucking fumbles again. And it was like, just a truly hilarious sequence of events for Philadelphia sports. Losing 34-17 to Jackson Dart with nobody at receiver. zero people at receiver and he could just move the ball at will and jalen hurts looks like the worst fucking quarterback in the nfl oh don't say that i'll quickly say hand up i did kind of roast the giants on this podcast on monday i said they're bad team yeah they might be good no the eagles just fucking suck the eagles fucking suck second half was was tough for the eagles they suck they're actually bad all of philadelphia sports died today there is no team to be excited about in all of Philadelphia.

22:51That's a fact. That happened tonight. It went from a whole lot of promise coming into this day and all dead. Every single one dead. Zero. I am mean. I am fucking memes. Oh, no, don't say that. That's so mean. Don't put that into yourself. Don't put that on a quote card, whatever you did. Yeah, I am fucking memes. You're fucking mean, dude? I am fucking memes. Was there a comma in there? I don't give a fuck. Do whatever you want to do. Okay. He's not opening his phone. What? He's not opening his phone. Yeah, he's not opening his phone. Cam Scadaboo. So I was going to say it was a coming out party for Cam Scadaboo.

23:33It was actually, this was rush week for Cam Scadaboo and Jackson Dart. Yeah. The bromance that they've got going on right now is, it's honestly puzzling to me. because I don't think I've ever experienced this in my entire life, but the New York Giants are fun as fuck. Yeah. It's weird, isn't it? Like with those uniforms and everything you know about the Giants, you expect them to occasionally pop up and be a good football team, but in a very boring way. Yeah. And this is a team that, like, I want to watch more Giants football games. I can't wait to watch more New York Giants. I've never thought that in my entire life.

24:07Cam Scadaboo is so much fun. He's so much fun. He was just running through people's faces. He was just flexing on dudes, just running to and through people. He goes out of his way to turn back and run out of safety. And the duo that they have with Cam Scadaboo and Jackson Dart, it's pure chaos when you watch them play. But it's so fun. And whatever Cam Scadaboo's got is contagious. And Jackson Dart catches it over the course of a game, and he starts to run like Cam Scadaboo. but he does it in a much more hilarious skinny way like there was this one play that jackson dart had where he scrambled and he's very mobile he's quick yeah and he got to the outside and he was running up the sidelines and he was like you know what fuck that i'm not gonna go out of bounds i'm gonna just jump head first into a safety and have you ever seen the uh the uh simpsons meme of ralph wiggum diving through the plate glass window head first that's what jackson dart did like to a defended like targeted him with his helmet jumped at him he oh yeah that's a clip right there it was pretty great and uh at one point dark got taken out of the game because he was he had a concussion yeah and i saw russell wilson came in and then dable just started yelling at the uh the the medical examiner being like get the fuck get jackson dart back out here yeah so jackson dart goes into the tent and then russell wilson goes on the field he was so ready to be on that field He was on the field before Dart was off it.

25:34And he threw one pass to Jalen Hyatt, and he short-armed it by, I'm going to guess, 15 yards. It was like the worst pass I've ever seen in the NFL. And right after it hit the ground, you see Dayball on the sidelines turn around, go up to the doctor and start screaming at the doctor like, what the fuck are you doing? Get this guy back in the game. I can't handle this. And so then Dart is still in the blue tent, and then Scadaboo says, fuck that, I'm going to go over and see what's up with it. And so Scadaboo runs into the tent to check on Dart. And then you see like four other people go in there.

26:08And the doctor comes out. He's like, I don't know. I don't know what's going on there. Jackson Dart just keeps saying it's some hose in this tent. I don't know what that means, but it doesn't sound good. And eventually Cam Scadaboo and Dart get out of the tent together. I think Scadaboo cleared Jackson Dart. He said he's not concussed. That's incredible. Bro's straight. Let's get him back in the game. and then obviously day wall on the sidelines like yep put him back in get him back asap i can't stand another second of russ wilson being out there yeah uh and there was one very funny clip too where they they cut up to the owner's booth and mr mara was staring down at the field at like the most fun part of the game for the giants it's like every time scatterboo got the ball he's running people over he was doing backflips in the end zone and mara's looking down peering like an old asshole dean like wondering what he's let his football team become yeah he's like what these guys are these boys are being reckless yeah these youngsters are a bit flashy for my liking uh i i thought i implemented no taunting policies to curb this sort of behavior oh i'll have a word with them afterwards but yeah it's uh it was so fun to watch and the giants they were they were the better team by far their defense was great in the second half i don't know what the play calling is for the Philadelphia Eagles.

27:25That's definitely a big part. Yeah, so Jalen Hurts, Max, you said Jalen Hurts sucks? You want me to say it again? Well, I'm asking. He is a bad quarterback right now. Alright, so you put in the right now there. That's good. So he can figure it out. We'll see. This team sucks. Remember we had the conversation the other day about... Yeah, sure, you're right. No, no, no, I'm not saying that, but Kevin Petullo, So it feels like it's like Kellen Moore last year was a very good play caller. And then is it the play calling? Is it? Yeah, it doesn't help. Yes. Jalen Hurts just missed a wide open fucking A.J.

28:06Brown on this pick that should have been a pick six. First. Yeah, whatever. Where's A.J. Brown? Hold on. Let me see him. Oh, man. The signs. I think that was. I think that interception might have been to Dotson. It was. Yeah. Oh, but you're saying A.J. Brown was wide open. Yes, he was. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, he was wide open on the play if he had gone to him. The best offensive series that the Eagles had by far tonight was from the four-yard line. They ran four tush-pushes in a row. Yeah, I saw a lot of people. I saw a bunch of tweets being like, ban the tush-push. This is bullshit. This isn't football.

Read the full transcript

28:44I think that radicalized a lot of people. Yeah, four in a row. That moment did. The casual, I don't love the tush-push, but it's unfair to ban it. those people saw the four in a row and radicalized, and now they're going to be like, fuck this play, get out of the game, because there were false starts on, I think, almost all of them too. But it was kind of fun to watch, just we're going to run the same thing over and over again, and the Giants can't stop us. But in the second half, yeah, the Eagles offense, they stunk. They were very, very bad. The defense sucked too. Well, you guys were missing Jalen Carter and Quinion Mitchell, no?

29:17Doesn't matter. They still fucking sucked. You guys are at the top of the NFC East. You're the returning Super Bowl champions. You're the returning Super Bowl champions. You're the top NFC East. If you could have said, you know, going into this year, like, after six games, you're going to be the top NFC East. And losing to the Giants? No. Jackson Dart. Giants might be good. The Giants fucking suck. They're at the top of the NFC East for now, Hank. You get a little bit of a break now? mini buy I want a permanent buy I want a permanent buy I want to stop watching sports you want a permanent buy everyone keeps saying you just want a Super Bowl you just want a Super Bowl the pain of losing is 50 billion times worse than the joy of winning it's not even close so like I don't give a fuck that we just want a Super Bowl but right now it sucks you're doing pain of losing the Phillies Yeah, you're mixing your sports.

30:20But the Eagles are dead. The Eagles fucking suck. No, they're not. The Eagles suck. You guys didn't watch this game tonight. They fucking suck. I understand, but you are like, this is Phillies. If the Phillies had been eliminated on Wednesday and this game happened on Thursday, I think you would obviously be in the same mental state of like, I want a permanent bye from all the sports, but you'd be able to separate them a little bit more. It was bang, bang. Yeah. I don't think you guys understand how fucking bad they were tonight. No. They looked. Any team in the NFL would have fucking smoked that team.

30:55I think if you guys lost to the Dodgers like 4-1 and just didn't. I think it's the way you lost. It's an unbelievable way to get eliminated from the postseason. It's an unbelievable way. You got double banged tonight. Yeah. This is a double bang. Don't forget about the Flyers. And the Flyers, too. Triple bang. Don't care. Did the Union win tonight? I don't know. No, the union won some bullshit cup the other day. I honestly don't know what cup they won, but they won something. And everyone was like, at least we have the fucking union. The union or MLS? Some shield, right? You want a shield? We want a shield.

31:33Well, you got a shield, Max. That's pretty cool. Fuck the union. Damn, that's scab. You're a scab. No, that's some Confederacy shit right there. Oh, fuck. But yeah, Max, you were diagnosed tonight with a disease that I didn't know existed. We had a name for it, which was early onset Fleming. Fleming, yeah. If Frank had the night that I had tonight, he would legitimately be dead. Like, that is not hyperbole. He would be dead. He has never had that night. Frank said Max has Flamentia which I've never heard before Frank does that when the Mets lose in July and then Mikey Betts said 100 % diagnosis and Frank said look at the videos so Frank is basically watching Max videos being like man this guy needs to chill out yeah Flamentia there's some other stuff that came out about the Eagles afterwards some more drama what did they just fucking suck yeah Yeah.

32:41That was part of it. Or Diane Rossini. That was a pretty big part of it. She's the fucking worst. You are memes. This is Mike Garofalo after the game. He said, AJ Brown was asked about the meeting with Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley this week. Repeatedly says he didn't recall any meeting. When told Hurts and Barkley confirmed it, he says you'd have to talk to them. Oh. Because the meeting that allegedly happened was Jalen Hurts and Saquon talking with AJ about, like, let's all get on the same page. Let's gel as a team. Let's work together. Get over our differences and we can all eat. And yeah, AJ was just like, I don't recall that meeting.

33:21Saquon also all of a sudden sucks now. No one's talking about that. Let's talk about it. He's horrible. He's been horrible all year. What is that? Everybody hurled that guy. The whole team sucks. Everyone sucks. Wrong. Dallas Goddard looked good tonight. Okay. He's on the last year of his contract. He's fucking gone. Howie, dude. Done. Everything's done. Blow it up. Start every single team from ground zone. Every single one of them. Sirianni's earned the benefit of the doubt. He's a good coach. Also, the Union just won a shield. I'm done with the Union. can't pull up the union did the union will stand strong he got a fucking shield must stand strong

34:15there were also some articles that came out today about cam scadaboo and this guy he is exactly who you think he is i saw some of these quotes so good his buddies on the team were talking about like what it's like getting to meet him one guy said the first time i met him we didn't we said like three words and he just head-butted me and then we just became friends after that uh one of the tight ends on the team was talking about their first time at a special teams meeting coach asked what's our job our job is to play with speed get off the ball and this animal just goes physicality he starts screaming physicality apparently he just yells all the time yeah he's he's exactly what this league needs right now yeah gunner olshavsky said he's genuinely an idiot yeah he's he's a crayon eater yeah the best it also is very funny because I don't know how, like, if you watch any college football last year, you're like, this guy's the man.

35:05Yeah. How did he fall that far in the draft? He's the fucking man. I just didn't think that the NFL didn't think that Cam Scadaboo could run over people in the league like he did in college, and it turns out he can, and he will. I think he could run over just about anybody. It was, yeah, it was a lot of fun. And watching Dayball just, like, bask in the fact that his job might be saved. is so funny too. By some meatheads? Yeah, by some meatheads. Meatheads even fucking did it for him. And he's now trying to identify with the meatheads. It's almost like Jackson Dart is his Jordan. Yeah. Because after the game, he was talking to the media and he hit him with a 6 '7".

35:46He's trying to speak Zoomer. Oh my God. He's like, yeah, Jackson's going to love this. Hey, Jackson, look at this clip. I said 6 '7". It's so fucking good. It's so good. Max, can we do anything to cheer you up? End the show. Oh, come on. Just let's just let's. This is a good show. Let's let's go home. Let me go fucking edit this and let's let's let's be done. Big Cat. R.I.P. Sister Jean, by the way. What are you guys doing this weekend? I'm going to Baton Rouge. Going to Punk is going to play at Fred's on Friday night. It's going to be so much fun. I got a game five on Saturday. All my focus is on that.

36:25I'm chilling. I don't have much planned. Just relax. You gonna watch baseball? Watching baseball. Why'd you ask? Just trying to wrap up the show for Max. Ask anyone else? Zach. Probably Badfield 6. Okay, nice, nice. Memes, what are you up to? About the beta. Beta? I'm happy to go to the wedding. Fuck all this shit. Where is it? It's in Connecticut. I'm happy to go. What time's your party? I don't want to see any of you for 48 hours. or any single person close to Chicago. That's fair.

37:04What time's your flight? I have done nothing to prepare for this trip because I wasn't going to go if... We already talked about that. I have to do so much. Mims, what are you up to? Big dog? I'm going to watch college football. Do you want me to edit the show? No, I will edit the show. I will do my job. No, you can have memes. I will edit the show. I will edit the show. Memes, sorry your hater parlay didn't win. It's okay. I'm sure he had a backup one that was just Philly. That's a tough night. Did you have a backup one that was just Philly? No, I cashed out. Oh, nice. Yeah, I actually won. Won money?

37:47Yeah. Even you couldn't go through with it. No, that was devastating. I have some stats about the Eagles. Max, you might want to take your headphones off. I'm not saying this to rub it in. No, keep on the headphones. Come on, we'll finish right now. The Eagles, through six weeks, are now minus one in point differential. They've been outgained every single game this year. They are the second Super Bowl champion to be outgained in yardage in each of their first five games to start the next season. Even Zach went like, oof, on that one. Yeah, things are not outstanding right now in Philadelphia. And when Max says that they stink, I would still say that the Eagles have the bones of a very good football team.

38:35And they can be very good. All they need is for their guys to believe in them. NFC Beast is back. They need Philly. NFC Beast is back. The Beast is back. I mean, Cowboys are frisky. Giants are good. Eagles are Super Bowl champs. Commanders. Commanders are good. Like, NFC Beast. NFC Beast. Yeah. That's got to feel good, Max. Max? He doesn't have the headphones on. Hey, do you have any final questions for Max? I don't. Yeah. It's tense. It's tense in here. It's good that Hank is facing away from Max right now. Yeah. I know Max hasn't looked up a single time. And I also want to give credit to Max.

39:19Max, he realized that he was in a very volatile state tonight. So he did things like removed himself from situations where he would be around others or cameras. He's not making eye contact with us because he knows that that's a trigger. We need like a weighted blanket. Yeah. He needs a Thunder shirt. Yeah. How bad was it? I mean, Max was overall pretty good. He had a few outbursts where he got five. Overalls? It was overalls pretty good, yeah. Are the overalls retired? Overalls won a Super Bowl. Yeah. So the overalls are not retired. The pigtails a billion, billion percent retired. Max, can we just finish with this?

40:02You, tonight sucked. You got a great life. You just won a Super Bowl. You got a great life. You got a ton of friends. Everyone loves you. I genuinely love you. I say that to you all the time. I love you. You're great at your job. You got a great life. Yep. Thank you. I don't know. I'm just trying to... We care about you, Max. Thank you. Thank you, guys. It's okay. I will be okay. When you had your headphones... I know you will. When you had your headphones off, I was saying that you did a good job regulating yourself. You work your ass off. And it's... Listen, it sucks having to watch your teams lose on live stream.

40:41Yeah. It's not fun. That's not a fun experience. Yeah. And you are willing and able to do it. So we got to put in maybe the video of you drinking out of your boot. That was peak max. Yeah. On top of the moon. And when you say the misery of the painful losses aren't worth the joy of the ultimate championships, that's not true. Yeah. That's not true. You had so much fun in New Orleans. I don't know. This today was bad. You got to hang out with Big Dom. Today was bad. Think about how good 2018 Villanova was. I just can't. I just can't. I can't believe he threw it home. Why did he throw it home? Yeah.

41:31Why? It was right there. Who was coming up next inning? Not the top of the order. I mean, the top of the order fucking sucks, so it doesn't even matter. They were going to lose that game anyway. It's just the way that you lost is so embarrassing. If you lose that game, Shohei just pisses on one. It's like, what are you going to do? Shohei was one for 22 with 12 Ks. He looked lost. I just don't know how you go home.

42:07He knew it. That's a tough shot. him hanging his head on the mound. Yeah, it's just like he... He had him easily at first. JT just pointing at first as he's throwing it at his face. And then Pahis or whatever, he didn't touch home when he first ran home. He had to turn around and go back. I think he did go get it. Yeah, no, he did eventually. But like JT ran over. He's the catcher, yeah. He's just pointing. Yeah. Like, dude, what are you fucking doing? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. Just throw it to first base. Like, if he overthrew first base, that would be one thing. He made the right play. He just didn't execute.

42:49He made the wrong play, and he didn't execute the wrong play as well. Ugh. You got Tanner McKee. Oh, the pitching just fucking... Don't say Tanner McKee. You got Tanner McKee. Stop it. Does that make you happy? No. Oh. He's good. That's an asshole thing to say You got fucking Marcus Mariota He's a great backup, I love him Jalen Hurts will figure it out, Max You know that's a fact The Eagles are bad right now They will bounce back They're too good of a team to not bounce back I don't know Two years ago, they didn't bounce back This could just be But they're better than they were two years ago You don't know that Well, I'm saying talent-wise You don't know that I'm pretty sure they are.

43:37They just won a Super Bowl, and their roster is pretty similar. So. Coaching. Coaching sucks. Kevin Petullo is just not. I mean, it's the same thing. It's the same thing. We just don't have an offensive coordinator who can call plays, and our quarterback is just not playing a good quarterback right now. He's just not. What percentage of Philadelphia sports fans do you think are going to listen to sports podcasts tomorrow? None. Zero. I'd say probably zero, right? If any of them do, they're sick. They're disgusting. Give it to them. I'm talking to you people right now. If any Phillies fan is listening to me right now, I'm telling you you're sick.

44:19You're perverted. You're demented. You got something wrong with you. Flamentia. Yeah. All right.

46:14Week six picks in preview is brought to you by Uber Eats. This episode is brought to you by Uber Eats, reminding fans that if football coincidentally makes you hungry, you can get game day deals on wings, burgers, beers, chips, and more all season long, all on Uber Eats. I'll say this. Last week, when we were talking about our Uber Eats, someone in this room said they were going to make us nachos. And someone in this room did not. I had a tough Sunday. Okay. Well, are we getting nachos? Are we getting the Uber Eats nachos where you're going to get Uber Eats? Not only can you get delivery from all the restaurants, but you can also get groceries delivered.

46:49That's the best part about Uber Eats. Are we delivering the groceries for the nachos and we're getting max nachos? If the Phillies make the game five, that's guaranteed. Okay, that's a guarantee. No, he said guarantee. He said it's a guarantee. But game five would be Saturday. Correct, but that means that I wouldn't have to try. Yeah, got it. There's a nacho contingency. All right. You'll love being able to get all your personal favorite game day foods delivered on Uber Eats so that you never miss a play when football makes you hungry. Get game day deals all season long only on Uber Eats. All right, boys.

47:21Week six. I don't want to say it. Don't say it. No, I thought about this this morning. I was like, it's about that time of year where Big Cat says it. You don't know what I'm going to say. Where Big Cat says it for the first time, and then I get mad at Big Cat. I'm going to say it for the listeners. I have to say it. I hate that we have a London game the fucking weekend that we change the clocks. It's the worst. It is the worst. I'm sorry you didn't want me to say it. I agree. Changing our clocks on Saturday and then having to get up early for the 830 game. It sucks. Do you not agree? No, you actually have to wake up at like it's pretty much midnight because you watch Roger Goodell climb up Big Ben and he pulls the little hand all the way around.

48:02Everybody claps and they give it up for him and then you get depressed. Yeah. So I'm sorry, but I had to say it because I don't want the A.W.L.s to like miss, you know, the marathon or miss, you know, some meeting that they have because they forgot to change their clock. uh okay you ready hank hell yeah i can't wait to hear about the hungry dog this week hell yeah the whole whole crew should ride yeah uh let's start though with the london game oh by the way here's a little little fun note well so we have vikings and texans on by did you know that uh through the first five weeks the nfc is 18 and 9 against the spread in their 27 games versus the afc i did not know that nfc battle for some conference pride yes so nfc is it right now All right, LeBron or not Lamar Jackson isn't holding up his end of the bargain.

48:46Yes, that's the problem. That's fair. Broncos and Jets. Jets plus seven and a half over under is 43 and a half. Here's another one that stunned me because we I think on this show have it might be the Jake Marsh effect. The Lunder. Did you know that in international games have been 52 of them? 26 and 26 over under. I didn't know that. Exactly. Even so this is the tie break because we remember the stinky ones. The ones where the grass is wet. It looks like it's been grown out for soccer and no points are scored. There's interceptions galore. Yeah, we remember those ones. This one is going to be interesting because the last time the Jets went over there, they fired their coach because Woody Johnson, he's got a lot of friends over in England.

49:24If he gets embarrassed around his friends, he will take drastic measures. I don't think that Aaron Glenn's in danger of being fired. I don't think that he is. I know that memes goes back and forth. I would be shocked if he was fired. Memes? I'd be shocked after this week if he was fired. Yeah. But you want him fired? No, only if he goes 0-17. I just don't think you can bring someone back if they can't figure out how to win one football game. I think that Aaron Glenn at least knows that they're 0-5 because he said, we know exactly where we're at. We're not hiding from the fact, yes, we're 0-5. We understand that.

49:55We understand that we have a lot of work to do. We're not running from that all. So the news has gotten to him that he's 0-5. Memes, I have an insult stat. I don't know if you want to hear it. It's not directed to you, but I think it's interesting to bring up on the show. You can opt out of the stat if you want. Would you like to opt out? No, let's hear it. Okay. The stat is looking back at Robert Salah's last 17 games as coach for the Jets. They had the best defense in the NFL in that 17-game span. Okay. And since that time period, they have the worst defense in the NFL. Overall, last place, 32nd.

50:34How was the defense the season he got fired? I'm talking about the games. I know, but no, no, no, no, no. The games he was coaching, the defense of the last season, leading up to him getting fired. Not good? Not good. Is that what you're going at? The last few games, but overall. Overall, I know what you're saying. His brother tweeted that out. Okay. Oh, his brother tweeted that out. Respect. Very funny. That's big-time respect. Yeah. I am my brother's keeper. How bad were the last few games? They couldn't stop the run. And now it's essentially piled up to this point where you still have the same guys from that defense who now still can't play defense.

51:11Got it. Is the quote, I am my brother's keeper? I'm not my brother's keeper. I'm not my brother's keeper? Yeah. Zach, can I see your tattoo real quick? I believe the quote is, I'm double layered. It is my brother's keeper is the quote. Are you sure? Yeah. Can I see your tattoo? Yeah. What does it say? It just It's my Yeah What does yours say? Mine says my brother's keeper Ah So you are Oh so Shout out to Nick That might be the quote Yeah There we go Shout out to Nick Is that like Cain and Abel? Is it biblical? I believe there is like a loose biblical tie People always forget about Seth They do It's fucking bullshit I agree That's just right there This is a big like I think the Broncos are going to win This is a big test for the Broncos in the fact that they went, had a, I would say the defining win in the Sean Payton-Bo Nix era against the Eagles on Sunday.

52:09They actually did travel right from Philadelphia, which I like. I would call it signature win. Signature win. How do they respond to the signature win? You know, you got to beat the Jets, and you got to beat them pretty strongly here because the Jets are bad. Did you see how Sean Payton's approaching this week? This is the very definition of a business trip. Okay. When coaches are always like, business trip, it's a business trip. This is a business trip. They're doing the exact same thing that they do when they're in Denver on the same days. No sightseeing allowed. Okay. Because Sean Payton, they asked him about other times he's gone on the trip.

52:41He said one time Jeremy Shockey tried to get everybody's passport and take the team to Amsterdam on an off day. Ooh. So we put the kibosh on that. They should have been allowed to go to Amsterdam. Yeah, they should have. If Jeremy Shockey asks you, hey, can we go to Amsterdam? You say yes. Absolutely. You want to see how that one plays out. But they're doing like the exact same schedule over there. They went over early, but so did the Jets. Jets went on Monday. Jets went on Monday. The Broncos went early in the week, too. I do think that the Broncos should handle business over there. Yeah. Seven halves is a lot of points.

53:14You just can't get blown out in front of Woody Johnson's friends. No. I have a way to attack this game. You ready for this? If the Jets are losing by, let's say, two scores, Justin Fields this season stats by quarter first quarter 114 yards one touchdown second quarter 173 yards zero touchdowns third quarter 169 yards zero touchdowns fourth quarter 300 yards three touchdowns he's a closer I think that if the Jets are getting blown out we need to bet live bet overs for Justin Fields going into the fourth quarter okay anyone like that strategy I'm into that I would be fine with the Jets starting to rod and then putting Justin Fields in just in the fourth quarter.

53:55That's what I'm hearing right now, yeah. The closer. No, yeah, I'm down for that, 100%. We'll monitor that. All right, next game. Cardinals at Colts. Cardinals are plus seven. Kyler Murray, so the over-under is 46.5. Kyler Murray actually is a pretty good against-the-spread quarterback as a dog on the road. So he's 33. Actually, this is just his dog. He's 33-18 against the spread as a dog in all six of his NFL seasons. Actually, the best record as a dog in the last six years. So he should be allowed to wear the Mike Vick jersey. He should be allowed to wear the Mike Vick jersey. I'm wondering.

54:33So the Colts are awesome. The Colts are great. I'm wondering where the head of the Arizona Cardinals is because we had Jonathan Gannon getting fined for pushing a player. Yeah, the team fined him. The team fined him. $100 ,000. It was the first time I think a coach has been fined since Bruce Arians a few years ago got fined for hitting someone in the head or something. Did they not fine Andy Reid for bumping his stomach up on Travis Kelsey this year? They did not. They did not. They're not protecting Travis Kelsey. Yeah. Kyler Murray has a foot injury. Zach, what is Call of Duty B07 beta? Black Ops 7 is the newest Call of Duty title from Treyarch.

55:14The beta is currently out, which is like a preview of what the full title will be. Can you play the beta? Yes, sir. It's a limited. So Kyler Murray could be playing the beta. Yeah, he is playing the beta. He's probably on the game. He might be playing the game. On and off the field. Yeah, the foot injury actually does concern me a little bit because it's a toe. And I've learned a lot about turf toe this year. Not good. And turf toe is not good. Even if it's not really that extreme of a case, it's probably not easy to push off that foot. But, yeah, I'm going to have a hard time trusting Kyler as a dog in this one.

55:44Yeah, I mean, well, Jacoby Brissett, still there, still around. Alive. He is still alive. Marvin Harrison said he has full trust in Jacoby, so that has to make you feel good. I don't know what else he would say. That would be crazy if he came out and was like, yeah, you know what? We're fucked. A backup quarterback, it's going to suck. We're fucked. So when we talked about Demarcado dropping the ball on the one-inch line last week. I went back and I read some interviews with Gannon. and he said that he actually did show the entire team the clip of A.D. Mitchell the week before being like, do not do this.

56:23See what you're doing right here? See what he did right here? Don't do that. No, actually, that makes me think that Gannon was more responsible for it. The fact that he put it in all their heads. Because think about it. Nobody dropped the ball at the one yard line until Deshaun Jackson did it. And then everybody saw and they're like, whoa, we can do that? Yeah. Like the tiny little thought, the intrusive thought crept in the back of your head. Nobody had ever thought before like, oh, maybe what if I just don't carry the ball into the end zone? Yeah. But now that you see it, if it's in front of you, you should just not talk about it at all around your team.

56:54Yeah. Did you see Jason Whitlock went there? I did not. Jason Whitlock just, you know, everyone's like, hey, that was a really dumb play. He decided to go a little zag. He's just like, you've never seen a white guy drop the ball in the end zone. Okay. Yeah. Thank you, Jason Whitlock. That's right. I appreciate you entering the discourse. Now, this is also Jason Whitlock, obviously, we talked about it a couple weeks ago. He says, is Alabama too gay to be good? He was right about that one. He was spot on about that one. If I were to argue that, which I'm not, because far be it for me to argue against Jason Whitlock when it comes to knowing ball.

57:28But would you say that the vast majority of touchdown scorers in the NFL are black players? and then white players don't. We do score sometimes, but it's tough to drop the ball on the one-inch line when you're getting the ball on the one-inch line as a fullback. Right. It was just such a funny, everyone is in universal agreement that's a really stupid thing to say, and Jason Whitlock raises his hands like, hey, let me just make this toxic. Is it a race thing? Yeah. Is it a race thing? It's a very weird thing. It is. But I just wouldn't say anything about it if I was a coach. I'd be like, I'm just going to trust the guys to not do the stupidest thing of all time.

58:06Now, also in defense, I'm not defending dropping the ball at the goal line, but if you could time it right, it would look sweet. If you if you actually. Yeah, if you if you can nail it where you drop it so close that the touchdown counts and then they have to review it. And you're like, dude, I obviously cross the goal line. That's actually kind of cool. Guys should start doing that. Then you get like an extra five minutes of everybody watching your replay of scoring an awesome touchdown in super slow motion. Yes. And that goes on the highlight reel. Coach, I'm fine. They break out the high def cameras that you don't normally see for the replays.

58:37And they slow it. They stop it. It's a lot of camera time for you. Good for your brand. Exactly. If you're one of these guys. Exactly. By the way, Daniel Jones never in his career with the Giants never put up 40 points. He's done it two times so far this season. Yeah. The Colts. Awesome. The Colts are great. Daniel Jones is great. The Colts are leading the league in yards per play and points per game. they've got six and a half yards per play 30.8 points per game they're just good they're just good i i think i've reached the part of the season where i'm not even if they have a bad loss i'm not willing to say they're turning back into a pump they've done enough they're off pumpkin watch i do kind of like the cardinals this week though just out of this is and this is solely based on the colts winning 40 to 6 the cardinals getting their their guts ripped out again meet in the middle.

59:28I think the Colts win, but seven? I don't know. I'm betting against Kyler's foot this week. Yeah. That's what I'm doing. Okay. Next game. Tickets. Tickets. What do we want to do for tickets? Shout out to the guy that reached out last week. Yeah. Blew a giant bubble. Oh. Grossest toe. Shortest guy. Sickest Call of Duty play. No. What about someone reenacting? Show us you crossing the line and dropping it as close to the line as possible. Yeah. Make a video of you slow-mo. We could do that. Yeah. I want to review a video of it. I'm in. You know what also concerns me about Gannon hitting Di Mercado after that?

1:00:05He wouldn't do that to a guy that he was afraid of. Yeah, true. He's not afraid of. He needs to, yeah. Yeah, he needs. Di Mercado's got to get in the weight room. He's got to, yeah, step his game up. All right, next up. Tag memes in that. Chargers at Dolphins. Yeah, tag memes. Chargers at Dolphins. Dolphins plus four and a half. Over under is 44 and a half. uh we got no Najee Harris we got no Amari in Hampton we do have though Hassan Haskins who scored 20 touchdowns in his senior year playing for Jim Harbaugh hmm maybe yeah I mean this maybe this is going to be an ultimate Jim Harbaugh challenge week because he wants to he wants to run the football he wants to be physical the Dolphins are the worst in the NFL against the run and the Chargers are banged up, we'll see how committed he is to the run game because I think they probably should still be able to run the football.

1:00:59Yeah, and this is obviously a weird – definitely not a rivalry game, but it always is – it's a sliding doors game because you have the Justin Herbert discourse with Tua, same draft class, Dolphins could have taken him, all that stuff. Yeah, this is a sliding doors game. I went back, I watched some interviews with McDaniel and some of the game film with McDaniel. in that game against the Broncos where they almost set the NFL scoring record. Yep. And he looks like a completely different guy. He's so downtrodden now. It's mostly the hair, too. The hair is just completely disheveled now. He was high and tight back then, had the beard all trimmed up, and now he just looks like a mountain man.

1:01:38I also wouldn't hate if McDaniels was like, listen, it's going bad right now. Hot seat. Season's falling apart. Bad vibes. Maybe just come out on Sunday with pants that go all the way down to your shoes. That'd be good. Yeah, maybe. Just try something different. it you know you gotta everyone's got to do their part why don't you get some pants to go all the way down to your shoes i'm beginning to think that when he did not go for a field goal at the end of that game when he took his his foot off the gas on that last drive against the broncos and he decided he was not going to set the all-time nfl scoring record it's occurred that cursed the dolphins from that point on it's like you turned your back on history nobody had scored 70 points in like 50 years yep in the nfl and with a touchdown he would have set the all-time record which might stand for forever.

1:02:21Who knows? And he just said, you know what? I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. And I think that's what did it. The football gods were angry. Yeah, he spit in their face. Yep. I think this game, Justin Herbert, like they can't protect him. I think this is like if they don't win this game and Justin Herbert gets beat up again, Jim Harbaugh might have a nervous breakdown. Yeah. Maybe. He feels every hit. He feels every hit that Justin Herbert takes. Before the game, maybe take it easy when it comes to, like, doing the shoulder pad punching and the chest punching yeah it's one extra hit one extra hit you want to limit those to your quarterback their their offensive line was not good especially for the second half last week and i did feel bad for justin herbert because it's not like he played poorly yeah well dolphins defense is bad yep and uh i don't know where the dolphins head is going to be at after like that was a game they should have won against the panthers yeah blew it so uh okay did you know that uh keenan allen is just i think he's 67 receptions away from antonio gates no that's not true he's he's 22 receptions away from antonio gates franchise record of catches which is crazy because if you'd asked me that i would be like yeah antonio gates by a mile yeah but yeah that thousand fastest to a thousand yard receptions was crazy yeah so he it looks like he will be setting that record this year yeah again i think they need to phrase that stat differently you can't be the fastest to something if it takes you if it takes everyone like 12 plus years to get there i think you can say the least slow guy yeah or he got it the quickest i don't know the first the first two yeah the fastest you always think like oh he's like 20 40s how the fuck did he do that yeah puka nakua having like the fastest to a certain yard market uh that makes sense yeah he now is 33 years old been in the nfl for a very long time but credit to him yes to do it uh Okay, next up, we've got the Patriots and Saints.

1:04:16Hank, Patriots and Saints. How are we feeling? This is a must win. This might be a bigger must win than last week. It does feel like you guys have the easiest remaining schedule. Yep. These are the games you got to win. Yep. Because it's a big letdown spot. It's a huge letdown spot. Would you say maybe it's a letdown spot for both teams? No. The Saints just won. Okay, so here's, I looked this up. Remember, we talked about quarterbacks that started 0-10, and I gave you the list. Three of them never won a game. That was Zach Mettenberger, Brody Croyle, and Deshaun Kaiser. Stan Gelbott, the legend, we talked about him.

1:04:56He won in his 11th start. The last guy who actually won a game after was Derek Carr, who went on to have a long career. But the game after he won his first start, they lost 52-0 to the St. Louis Rams. That's what we need. Does that mean anything? Now, it's probably not because it's a stat that quotes the Oakland Raiders versus St. Louis Rams. Right. Which gives you a sense of the time here. I think that this. Wasn't that long ago? Yeah, it was like 12 years ago. I look at these two teams, and they're both riding high off big wins. One was their first one. The other was beating a division foe, the Bills, that everybody thought, okay, this is the team, the passing of the torch game, as Hank said.

1:05:39Super Bowl favorites. And Super Bowl favorites, I look at the two coaches and I'm like, which one of these two coaches is more likely to have a letdown game or to not follow up a good result with another good result? And I think that that would be Kellen Moore. I think Vrabel seems like the guy that would be. Vrabel is a big underdog guy. Remember in Tennessee, it was just, you know, there would always be these games. That was what happened on Sunday night. Like the primetime game. Oh, man, no way did the Bills lose. That's Rabel. And Drake May was phenomenal. Drake May outplayed Josh Allen. He's very, very good.

1:06:17What? I love hearing you say that. I mean, he did. That's a beautiful sentence. That's a great thing to hear. That's just a great sentence to hear. If he's so good, how come his... Drake May outplayed Josh Allen. Josh Allen in that game. How come his alma mater won't even give him any credit for it? They did. They tweeted. Where are you at with your diehard UNC Tar Heels football fan? It seems like Well they had to come out and Make a statement that Bill Belichick is not Retiring Which is never a good sign Or like we're committed to Bill They're committed to Bill This is a big game for the Patriots I think it's like they gotta just come out And drop 40 on the Saints And keep it rolling for the rest of the season Because this is They lose this game It's kinda come back down to life If we win this game looking at our schedule.

1:07:08The AFC East is bad. Mahomes is washed. Josh Allen is good, but Lamar's injured. Burrow's injured. This is a big year. Mahomes is washed? Washed. He's 2-3. He's under.500. He's washed. I think that was a great – he just – we're on to Cincinnati do. Yeah. He just said New Orleans, New Orleans, New Orleans. When asked about Bill Belichick. That was good. Will you be a – will you do us this next Wednesday? No. When we talk college football, Will you please give a State of the Union and address Bill Belichick? I would like to see maybe a statement that you release on the show. You have a week to prepare.

1:07:46I'll think about it. So they said that Bill was looking for a soft landing spot. I did. Probably not my place to do this. But I did offer him a position on the cream team. No, no. You're allowed to do that. Zach said that he would review his resume or review his application. So you're making Bill Belichick apply to be a member of the cream team. Yeah, I'd run his application up to the front office. I'd get it to the right guys. I guess my only question, because I would think Bill Belichick would be great on the cream team, attention to detail, do your job. Yeah. What's Jordan's situation? Jordan.

1:08:17Is she micromanaging Zach and Jacob, which would be a hilarious visual? Yeah, no, I think that she would actually go to the top of the cream team hierarchy. Are you okay with that? Do we just report to Jordan? Yeah, I mean, she'd become my boss, too. Okay. Yeah. She would own this company within three days. All right. So, yeah. So offer for employment on the cream team. Hank, so the Patriots are doing a whiteout. Yep. You're a big Penn State guy. We are. Yep. I got a question for you. Which coach do you think has had the worst post coaching career or post coaching life? Bill Belichick or Joe Paterno?

1:08:55Joe Paterno. You think so? It was over pretty quickly, though. Yeah. I mean, his post coaching career was just he died. Listen, if we're going to call... Is that worse than Bill Belichick? I don't know. Leaving the NFL, getting a smoke show girlfriend that's significantly younger than you and then getting paid to not work, possibly. I don't think that's too bad. Yeah. Hank, while you were addressing the media here, me and PFT, I had a question for you. Dan. What would you like to say to the people that have accused you of being racist for quote tweeting the tweet from the New England Patriots saying all white?

1:09:33And you said we are. I was going to save it. I was going to save it. Fire fest. But yeah, I would just say you're a fucking loser. No, no. Save for fire. And you should. All right. Save for fire. This is a great teaser. We will be addressing Hank being alleged racist during fire fest. this week uh i have a question for you hank eric you don't get to do that you don't get to do that dan campbell jersey jerry hit him with the hardy yeah well as the word you don't get to press as we're not you're the media mr comment mr commenter yeah government well you're mr commenter i'm mr i'm mr commenter from part of my take podcast yes all right thank you for acknowledging that that um when was last time the patriots had a three-game winning streak?

1:10:19I would probably guess 2021. No, 2022. 2022. Yeah, yeah. So that would be a combo breaker for him this week. Yeah, last time we played the Saints, I think we lost 13-0. That was like the match. That was the ugliest. Oh, the sun was so bright. Shining so bright. Of all time. Yeah. But yeah, it's like, again, I know it's like I was talking to memes and some of the Zoopy, like our Browns guys, it's like rebuilding, going through a rebuild is tough, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, and it's like looking back on those dark times. It was dark. We lost the Saints 13-0 not too long ago, and now look where we are.

1:11:03That is possible. Okay, so that's a good segue. We'll go to Browns-Steelers. So mean. Steelers minus 5.5 over under is 37.5. the last time the browns won a regular season in pittsburgh anyone want to guess the year baker mayfield covid i said regular season i'm gonna say he did win there was playoffs yeah i'm gonna say this was

1:11:332000 who's a porn guy Josh McCown 2012 the last time the Cleveland Browns won a game a regular season game in Pittsburgh was October 5th 2003 that is 21 years it was Tim Couch versus the combo of Tommy Maddox Chaz Batch that's insane A freshman in college. Yeah. We're one month into college. That is nuts. So much life has happened. That is insane. They didn't have GPSs back then. Facebook wasn't invented. You had to print out. Cell phones. Smart phones weren't invented. I had a physical map in my car. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That I used to print it out. Yeah. Book. Yeah. It's crazy. That's a long time.

1:12:19That is the most depressing stat I've ever heard. It's very, very long. In my entire life. Now, the Steelers, they lucked out. Yeah. Steelers lucked out. they ducked Joe Flacco. They probably had something to do behind the scenes, being like, hey, can you trade Joe now so we don't have to play against him this weekend? Yep. Mike Tomlin does respect him a lot. Yep. Yeah. Mike Tomlin also very good against rookie quarterbacks. Yep. Very good. 26-6 against rookie quarterbacks. But two Browns rookies have beaten Mike Tomlin. That's true. DTR, Brandon Whedon. But those were in Cleveland, obviously.

1:12:56Those were in Cleveland, yeah. Yeah, I'm obsessed now with Kevin Stefanski, friend of the program, his answers to questions, hard questions, because he was asked about Deshaun Watson this week, and he responded, I understand the question, but I'm really focused on this week. Yeah. I just like him saying, I think that's the second time this year he said that, like, I understand your question. It's a very nice way of saying, don't fucking ask me that again. Yeah, I don't want to talk about it. We are not here to talk about Deshaun Watson. Did you see the list of Browns quarterbacks and their cap hits?

1:13:24No. that that went out this this week it was it was quite literally the drill tweet it was uh the browns 2025 quarterback cap hits jamis winston 2.2 million dollars dead dylan gabriel 1.1 million dollars alive joe flacco 999 000 dead chador sanders 955 000 active deshaun watson 35.9 million Pup Bailey Zappi 315 ,000 Practice squad DTR 171 ,000 dead Kenny Pickett 8 ,000 dead It's just a bunch of Deshaun Watson Just buried in there At 35.9 It's crazy Yeah Help me with my budget I've been bullied into Taking the Steelers By our good friend Jersey Jerry I kind of like the Browns But I also don't know How they're going to score I said the stat on Monday's show It's 10 straight weeks regular season weeks that they have uh failed to go over 17 points and i i don't have the stat in front of me but we always say every single season mike tomlin after a bye right and i feel like that's something that's a trend i feel like he's very very very good after a bye yeah i agree and uh this is also a big like if the steelers win this game and the bangles and the ravens lose which they are both over a touchdown underdogs the bangles are 14 point underdogs steelers kind got a little bit of a stranglehold on the afc north yeah like kind of is happening right in front of our eyes yeah so i it's a big game sealers gotta not fuck this up if they want to win the afc north because if they lose a game like this i feel like we'll look back when lamar gets healthy and she'll be like oh shit it's a one game you know in late december they should have probably beaten the browns yep uh okay next game up we have cowboys and panthers uh we have our bet from the meow mix guys uh let's get it out it's i got it right here yeah put it in show the max put it in live go to the panthers cowboys game so if you missed wednesday's show meow mix the now defunct carolina panthers podcast we had jerry on from it uh really great guy we just love the story uh we're rooting for them they're doing a podcast for like a thousand people they're just all heart and then the panthers bummed them out so much that they're like we can't do this anymore they did this thing where they would bet a certain prop every single week and anything they won they would roll over and donate to charity so we're going to take the mantle for them i think they're actually releasing it as well if you go follow them but we're also going to do it we're going to have a meow mix pick of the week uh that they're going to give us every week and we'll say on this show for them hopefully they come back and podcast i'm going to give all my winnings on this bet to charity if it hits i'm going to do it to their charity which was atst jude's yep Children's Hospital.

1:16:13All right, children. For the kids. For the kids. Ted McMillan, 70-plus yards receiving. Rico Dattel, anytime touchdown. I believe it pays out about 3-1. Okay. 3-1. That's the Meow Mix parlay. So ride it for the kids. Hopefully we get hot with the Meow Mix parlay. Ted McMillan what? 70 yards. Right now the line's 60. Oh, wait, wait. Yeah, you can do, yeah. Yeah, 70. And then Rico Dattel, touchdown. I like the Rico Dattel because the Cowboys' defense is not good. Yeah, Rico Dattel revenge. Did you know that last week, and this is more of an insult stat to the Dolphins, but last week Carolina broke a 65-game losing streak when trailing by more than one possession at any point in the game.

1:16:58Their last win before last week came in 2018. I did not know. Literally, if you got up by nine points or more against the Panthers since 2018, you won the game. That's pretty sad, too. It's pretty, pretty sad. It's not that sad considering I just heard that Brown stat. That's going to take a while to shake off me. But, yeah, they haven't really had a lot of guys that can lead a comeback. No. Do we think the Panthers – would you classify the Panthers as bad? Baddish. Yes. Bad on the road. They're bad. They're baddish. Well, I ask that because Dak is 76 % straight up against bad teams, and he's 65 % against the spread against bad teams, teams under.500.

1:17:40and he wins those games by 9.7 points per game. So he beats up on these teams. And Dak has been phenomenal. I would say badish. Yeah, Dak is definitely MVP. Yeah. MVP consideration. You know what shocked me, but Schottenheimer really should have led this with his press conference. He's got a couple significant tattoos on his arm. I didn't know that. Yeah, look it up. And it's just like, oh, okay, NFL coach. What are they? He doesn't seem like a tattoo guy. and then I saw it. It's words. It just kind of took me back. I don't know. I was like, whoa, all right. Fancy cursive? Yeah, yeah. Kind of like, wait, Zach, can we see your cursive again?

1:18:21Yeah, it's kind of like that. Yeah, it's kind of like that. He doesn't have the eagle, though. Why didn't you just Google this instead of searching on Twitter? That's also, you're still searching on Twitter. I'm copying and pasting. You don't have to be mean. We're not being mean. You don't have to be mean. No, we're just asking. Look at that. See, that was pretty easy. All right. Yeah, that was easier. So he's got, oh, he's got one on the hand. He's got a bunch. Click the fifth picture there where he's got, yeah. Yeah. See? He's inked up. He's inked up big time. I don't, this doesn't really matter.

1:18:52This doesn't mean anything. We all have tattoos in here. Like Zach says, everyone's got a couple. Yep. I just was like, oh, I didn't know that. I wish I had known that. You don't see a lot of head coaches with the visible tattoos. Yeah, unless they're like former players. But yeah, I kind of think he's got swag now. Kind of badass. Yeah, a little bit. I feel a little more confident with Brian Schottenheimer now. Hank, what do you think about this quote from Brian Schottenheimer? Because when I first read it, it sounded like something you would say. It'll be good to see Rico this weekend. I know we're going to have to buckle up.

1:19:25We'll bring our seatbelts. Rico, we'll buckle up. Can't wait to see the guy. That's a great quote. It's an awesome quote. That's how I feel every Wednesday. Perfect quote. bring our seatbelts it's like yeah Rico's coming to town but everybody be careful because he's in one of those moods did you guys see the uh the fox single map that like 90 of the country is going to be watching this game I love looking at those maps they used to mean so much because they used to actually be the only way that you would know if you're going to get to watch the game or not my favorite is when you see a map and there's like one dot out in Fresno California you're like oh that's David Carr yeah that's that's why that's going on yeah yeah Rico Dattle did reply by the way to that not that quote but just saying are you ready for your former team he's are you ready to uh buckle up after his career game or george pickens on rico dottle telling the cowboys to buckle up and rico dottle said nah we're buckled up every week bro yeah everyone's buckled stay all buckled up it's gonna be a buckle game this is gonna be everyone's gonna be driving exactly the speed limit buckled up the whole time safety first okay moving down the line Seahawks at Jags I love the Seahawks in this game I liked them last week too The Jaguars With that 4-1 next to their record Well so that was pretty much This is not an X's and O's What?

1:20:45To the Jags Well here's my thought process I like the Jags I bet them on Monday night I've bet them a couple times this year I've been a Jag believer That was I would say the biggest win, regular season win, because I know they beat the Broncos, whatever year that was, to go to the AFC Championship game. They had a couple playoff games. They literally retired Dan Marino. That was the biggest regular season game in Jaguars franchise history, I think. Okay. It might be up there. I'm trying to think the Blake Bortles year. That Pittsburgh game was in the playoffs. That was a great game. Yeah, they've had some playoff games that have been really nice, but I'm talking about regular season.

1:21:25Think about everything was at stake. Three and one. going against the Chiefs down 14-0-0. Monday night. Trevor Lawrence, Monday night. Trevor Lawrence, like with the late game heroics, Shad Khan saying that this is not for today, for tomorrow, it's forever. I just – that's a lot of pressure to have that type of win. First-year head coach. It was definitely the biggest regular season win for Trevor Lawrence in his career. Yes. I feel like there might be a little letdown. There could be. I also think that they got pretty lucky. They played to the best. like they did a lot of good things on monday night but they also had a few things that broke their way yep chiefs and i don't want to like downplay the fact that the chiefs you know they they got a touchdown handed to them um but yeah with the jaguars it feels like they're a good team i don't think that they're like a five and one we just beat the seahawks team yeah i and i it's more it's hungry dog seahawks need a win seahawks you know they they're not a bad team they lost to the Bucs in a shootout, I think you'll get a very strong effort from the CR.

1:22:28I think they should let Trevor run the ball more. Because on Monday night, that was by far the most, that was his running game. He is a little goofy. He's definitely goofy. He's so tall. Yeah, he's a spaz for sure. And I think that when he's able to do that, or at least have the defense respect his ability to do that, a lot of other things might open up for him. So let Trevor keep running the ball. and then i was looking at the pro football focus grades for rookies okay i believe that two two of the top five rookies right now might be travis hunter oh at least two of the top 10 oh uh so travis hunter the wide receiver and travis hunter the quarterback or cornerback yep um the wide receiver is graded out as a 77.3 the cornerback is graded out as a 76.9 this season so travis Hunter, the wide receiver, we think could beat Travis Hunter, the cornerback.

1:23:21Yes. Get toasted. Okay. Last game in the early slate. Ravens at home against the Rams. Ravens are 7.5-point underdogs. The over-under for this game is 44.5. What a bummer the Ravens are. I'm going to list some Ravens stats for you. You guys ready for this? Mm-hmm. The Ravens' defense after week five, they are 29th in rushing yards allowed. They're 30th in rushing TDs allowed. They're 31st in passing yards allowed. They're 31st in total yards allowed. They're 32nd in passing TDs allowed. They're 32nd in first downs allowed. They're 32nd in points allowed. Yes, and Baltimore this year through five games has already given up more points than the entire 2 ,000 Ravens defense did in 16 games.

1:24:11They've given up 177 points this season. the 2000 Super Bowl winning defense gave up 165 total in 16 games it's really really bad in Baltimore it's really bad and it's injuries obviously like I don't think if the Ravens were fully healthy this would not be the same spread it would it would be close to pick them if not Ravens favored if they had Lamar and all their defense their defense their starting defense in week one accounted for just 37.9 snaps in week five. That's how injured they are. So they're banged up as banged up could be. We talked about Derrick Henry. We had the discussion if he's okay.

1:24:51This is not a good matchup for him. The Rams are the only defense in the NFL that hasn't allowed a rush of 20-plus yards through five games. So probably not this week. Is Patrick Ricard back? I don't know. Also, another Rams stat. He's not practiced. Not practiced. As a four-point favorite or more on the road, Sean McVay is 16-0 straight up. So they win these games. Nine and seven against the spread, so not talking about the cover, but the Rams take care of business on the road. Yeah. They're supposed to. I did see that Hamilton might be back. I think he was practicing. Okay. So that would be huge if they got him back.

1:25:33I don't think they've announced whether or not he's going to play this weekend. But counter to that stat, Big Cat, the Rams have twice lost back-to-back games as outright favorites of 7.5 points or more. Okay. So there is a pattern there with McVay. Yeah. Like if you have a bad loss against a team that you were supposed to wallop, it does carry over to the next week sometimes. Okay. Okay. So there's that. Matthew Stafford's a Hall of Famer. I just want to remind everyone, this is a crazy stat. So Pukunikua is on pace for 1 ,999 yards, which would be a record. Pretty crazy. I mean, that would actually be the most disappointing thing ever, if you finish with 1 ,999.

1:26:18Yeah. I would almost not rather win the season receiving record at that point. Yeah. Most receiving yards in a season, number one, Calvin Johnson, 1 ,964 yards in 2012. Cooper Cup, 1 ,947 yards in 2021. Is there any? is on pace for 2 ,000. There is a common genomic. What is that common thread there? That would be Matthew Stafford. That would be pretty insane if Puka Nakua breaks the record and 1, 2, and 3 are all Matthew Stafford wide receivers. Yeah, that'd be awesome. That would be fucking sick. Did you see what the Rams are doing after the game? Because I believe they're going over to England to play the Jaguars.

1:26:52Another one? Yeah. So you know what the Rams are going to do? Oh, he's nodding his head like an asshole. They're not flying back home. They're going to practice at Camden Yards. They're going to practice in the baseball stadium. That's pretty cool. Before they fly out, which is pretty cool. They get to see some action in Baltimore. Why don't they just fly home and just keep going the other way? That's probably really far. It probably really. Why don't you just build a giant plane that has a football field inside of it? I like that idea. Yeah. Now we're actually thinking here. Okay. Before we get to the afternoon games, Chevy.

1:27:25We love Chevy. We're truck guys here on this podcast. Football season is here, whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff. There's one ride that's always game ready. It's the Chevy Silverado. The Chevy Silverado is a longtime partner, pardon my take, and our favorite truck. And it's all about grit from job site to tailgate. Silverado lets you show up strong and tackle any task built for the hustle, ready for the game. Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck. For J.D.

1:27:59we got some stinkers in the afternoon. Titans at Raiders. Raiders minus three and a half over under 41 and a half. Yuck. I mean, this would be the let's bench Geno game, right? Yeah. If they lose to the Titans, you got to at least think about sitting them down. Yeah. Stink. And there's only three? The Raiders are mildly concerned about Geno Smith. Mm-hmm. Ugh. They're mildly concerned that he's a broken quarterback. I actually had, we just taped the Pro Football Football Show. My hot take of the week was that Geno Smith is not going to throw an interception this week. That is a hot take. It's like the hottest take you could possibly have.

1:28:39That's all he does now. My hot take is that Geno Smith actually played way above his drafted slot considering his career. Yeah. He's lasted way longer than people thought. Remember the numbers, the millions that he made? Yeah. I talked about it on Monday. If this is his last dance, Geno, it was a great run. There was a world where Geno Smith was just out of the NFL after his Jets career, and he would have made$5 million. Instead, he reclaimed it and over$100 million. Credit to Geno. Think about those things, Geno. Yeah. Also, stop throwing the other team. Big picture, things are going to be okay.

1:29:10Right. But maybe not, because this team is bad. I actually think the Raiders will win. I do too. Just because it's only based on the fact that they lost by 34 last week, and everyone's going to be like, the Raiders are so, so bad. Titans might be figuring something out. The thing is the Titans win last week was so fluky and lucky that I don't think that they're in danger of feeling good about themselves. They felt good to not feel bad on Monday. Correct. But I don't think they felt good because they thought that they played well. Yeah. So it's not I can't really see this being a letdown spot for the Titans.

1:29:46Yeah. But I do think that Gino against this team, they should win. They should cover. Yeah. Okay. That's enough about that game. That's going to be a game that something weird is going to happen in that game. Do you want a mildly interesting stat? I would love a mildly. That's perfect. To go with how mildly disappointed they are with Geno Smith? I was going to say to go with a, I wouldn't even know if we would say this is a mildly interesting game. No, it's not. It's not mildly interesting. This is a stat that will make you, if somebody said this to you at a bar, like a friend, you go, that's wild.

1:30:19And then you go back to talking about whatever it is you're talking about. I love it. Okay. Wait, do you have a blind resume at any point today? No, but I can whip one up. Okay. If you want. No, that's fine. Yeah, maybe we'll do it for Firefest. Yeah. Okay. Mildly interesting stat of the week. Every quarterback that the Raiders have played this season was drafted in the top six of their drafts. That is mildly interesting. That might be a little more than mildly interesting. Really? Nerd Dugget of the Week? I think it's medium interesting. I don't think so. I think it's pretty mild. Okay. It felt boring.

1:30:55Well, you know what it is. It's when I read the names on the list, it actually gets more mildly interesting. Drake May, Justin Herbert, Marcus Mariota, Caleb Williams, Daniel Jones, Cam Ward. Okay. That brings it back to mild. Yeah, mild. Right. It went to medium, and then it's back to mild. Bengals at Packers. Packers are 14 point favorites off the bye over under 44 and a half Joe Flacco showed up to Cincinnati on Monday and I guess he does know what the Packers do defensively because he already played him this year but uh I think the Packers are probably going to have their best effort off the bye with a weird 2-2 or 2-1-1 record I don't know how Flacco works as the quarterback in this in Zach Taylor's system of not having offensive linemen.

1:31:45I don't know if he's the perfect fit for that. He's 40, and even when he was like 24, he wasn't exactly fast. I don't want anything bad to happen to Joe. I'm going to be watching every play like the mom watchers, like with my hands. You watching the commanders. Huh? What? Oh. With my hands over my eyes peeking through, is what I was going to say. Hank. Right. Hank, who's missed more games? Drake May or Jaden Daniels?

1:32:16What? I think Jaden Daniels. I don't think so. Oh. You're talking about just not starting? Yeah. Well, they didn't start. Drake May didn't start right away. Well, no. After he became the starter. How many games does Drake May miss? He had that concussion right. I love this. He's always got a stat. Hmm. Well, the Bill stat was just wrong. Well. Drake May started that game. Well, he did not win that game. He started the game, and they won. So, yeah. No, he did not. No. Yeah. No. Joe Milton won that game. Drake May started the game. Patriots won. How many yards passing did Drake May have? How many attempts did Drake May have in that game?

1:32:52Drake May started the game. Patriots won. He was the starter. They won. That's just cool. And then he started on Sunday night. They won again. I know. He won that one. 2-0 in his last two as starter against the Bills. How many games has Jaden been? Jaden's only missed two games. Well, last year, did you miss any? No. I thought Marcus Mariota played. Oh, he came in. Well, that counts as missing. We just established that. No, we didn't. Missing a game. Someone else comes in, so then Drake May won against the Bills. No. Jamie Daniels has played in 20 career games. Drake May has played in 18 career games.

1:33:24But Drake May did not start the season last year. So it's got to be pretty close. Yeah, about the same. But only one of those guys gets talked about like they're going to get injured. Well, only one of our guys cries every time he scrambles out of the pocket. Zach said that AI AI says that Drake may only missed one game with a concussion is that true I thought he missed more than that I think he missed week I'm looking right now at his game logs I think he missed week 14 last year that's a faulty stat fake stat good stats sometimes you got the bad stats I was just asking the question I didn't know the answer to it that's how you learn good question PFT open your mind Be open to everything.

1:34:07Jerry taught us that. Yeah. Open to the universe. We do have one good game in the afternoon. It is the Bucs and the 49ers. Oh, wait. Back to the Bengals-Packers game. Oh, yeah. Joe Flacco does have a chance to make history, or at least to tie history. Yes. He would be the second quarterback that would start and beat the same opponent twice in a season with different teams. Yep. So, I mean, it's going to be tough for the Bengals to do that. Jack Kemp. Jack Kemp was the other one that did it. Jack Kemp, Bob Dole's running mate. Was he? Yeah, I think so. Oh, shit. Dole Kemp. That's cool. That seems like it's a familiar bumper sticker.

1:34:44But yeah, so I'm rooting for Joe. Good luck to Joe. I'm also very worried about Micah Parsons just becoming a backpack that Joe Flacco has to carry around. Oh, he survived him once. Yep. 49ers box. Box or minus three over under 47 and a half. I loved Baker Mayfield's quote where kind of at the media, which is a fair quote from Baker. He basically said, early on in my career, it was cocky, immature. Now it's Moxie and he's a dog. Same shit, different day. As long as you play well, they change the narrative, but you got to be yourself. And I've always been like that. Fair point. Baker Mayfield has not changed.

1:35:21The narrative changed. He has not changed as a person. He is not. He has been the same guy through and through. It's just we had Colin Coward being like, well, he's not a leader because one time there's a clip where he ran towards the band instead of his teammates. Yeah, because he planted a flag at midfield because he grabbed his dick. Yeah. Because he was pumped. I've always liked Baker. Always thought that he was a dog. I never said any of the stuff that Baker is claiming people said, but I did hear other people say that. I never appreciated it. I said, huh? Yeah, I said, that's not true, buddy.

1:35:52That's Moxie. You're confusing that with Moxie. That's fucked up. Did you see Vita Vey's celebration that he did last week when they dropped him into coverage? No. It was the best seatbelt celebration I've ever seen. They dropped him. It was like a zone blitz. And he dropped back. The guy dropped the pass or hit off his foot, and then Vita Vey pushed him away and gave him the best seatbelt strap-on celebration I've ever seen. I love it. It was great. Vita Vey, too, is – Big boy do that. I struggle with big boys in ages because Vita Vey just – he's only 30. Yeah. Doesn't it feel like if you ask me, I'd be like, yeah, no, Vita Bay is in his 18th season in the NFL.

1:36:30That is strange, yeah. I think it's big boys, also maybe Samoans, where it's all just kind of goes together. I was seeing, I think it was the 20th. What was Josh Allen's draft class? Was it 2017? Which Josh Allen? Our Josh Allen. Yeah, 2017, I think. Or 2018. Whatever it was, it was like the 2018-2017 draft was unbelievable, and Vita Bay was in that draft class. If you had asked me what draft class was he in, I would not have been able to get that right. Yeah. So are the Niners, we're going to go with Mac Jones again? I believe so. I hope so. Is he the better quarterback? Oh, Vita Vey, seatbelt.

1:37:09Look at that. Oh, that's a big one. That's a truck. Big boy seatbelt. Double wide. Vita Vey, he's awesome. Yeah, I think they're going to go with Mac Jones. I don't know. Did Mac Jones, he confirmed that he saw the dead body? Yep. But the banana story was not true. 11 was not true so i don't know who started that rumor that he ate 11 bananas yep uh but he was forced to deny that how many bananas did he have i said three but how does that get i don't understand how that story comes out how does three bananas no idea especially with him because if you look at the mugshot he's a 99 bananas guy clearly but to go from three to 11 it just seems like i don't know fake news or something but i do think that mac jones has been he's played really really good I don't think he's as good as Brock Purdy.

1:37:56I don't think that he's the long-term solution, but he's made a shitload of money. He does a great job being a fill-in for Brock Purdy. Yeah. Kyle Shannon, best coaching job he's ever done. That's what everyone's saying right now. Yeah. Coach of the year. Yeah. I'll put it this way. If Mac Jones had played in the second half of that NFC Championship game, if they'd had him back then, it'd be a different story. Okay, last game, Sunday Night Football. very excited for this game. Chiefs minus 2.5 over-unders 52.5 Jared Goff is actually 2-0 in matchups against Patrick Mahomes Chiefs. Hmm. Maybe one week one was it last year or the year before?

1:38:37Maybe it was last year and then obviously the famous Chiefs-Rams game. The best game ever. I think that I like the Lions but I'm concerned about their defense already. Their defense has a lot of injuries. They're top two cornerbacks. I'll just say this, though, because I'm going to say it every week. The Lions, in their last 50 games, are 36-13-1 against the spread. That's a stock that you just see. It's like Navidia or whatever the fuck it is. Yeah. You know, that just keeps going up. You're like, man, I wish I bought that. Yeah, I wouldn't say that there's a bubble on these Lions either. No, I keep betting them, yeah.

1:39:12Week one, the Lions looked like shit against the Packers. But if you throw that game out, you would look at this team and be like, they might be the best team in football. Yeah. And I would not argue with you about that. Yeah. They're just really, really good. And, I mean, do we have Travis Kelsey being worried about Life of the Showgirl? About the reviews? Yeah. I mean, things can't be too happy. By the way, the reviews that I've heard are just Hank saying that people don't like it. Did you guys talk about it on the act, too? Yeah, well, I didn't look into it anymore. It was just you saying that.

1:39:48So I'm going off your reviews. Hank reviews reviews. I did have a review of a review of Hank's review. The song Wood, that's about Travis Kelsey's dick. Yeah. That's what they're saying? Hank? Sure. Yeah, I've listened to it less than anyone. Well, I haven't listened to it at all. Okay. But I'm told that that song is about his dick. Yes. And it's called Red Wood. Yeah. Or she refers to it. Is that song actually about Andy Reid's dick? Mmm. Mmm. That's what I thought when I heard all the stuff about Redwood. She's a football fan. She knows that's Andy Reid's nickname. Yeah? Just think about it.

1:40:30Andy Reid might be plowing the field. Easter egg. Easter eggs everywhere. All right, should we do our picks? Oh, no, we got a fancy minute. I'm going to bet the Lions just because I'm going to keep betting the Lions. Yeti. Yeti. Yeti. Yeti. Bad Bunny Bad Bunny Okay here is our fantasy minute With Jerry O 'Connell Start the music means I got one minute Hey what's up Fantasy Park Boys I'm at a sporting event I got my tickets at game time Love that game time map I got 50 more seconds Everybody spend all your money On this tight end tailor On the Jets Also spend all your money On Green Bay Spend that money it's over it's week five it's not real money it's not yours it's money money way to beat calabasas daughters are losing to some fucking private school okay uh also uh uh he's not gonna get fired because uh coach gannett struck him well he didn't strike him he just went pick up michael carter also pick up hassan haskins the running back on the charges also stream Cardi he's got something to prove I shaved my beard T-Mac is gonna have a great game T-Mac call him that I get bad messages from some guy who says he's friends with his mom I did it one minute fuck you big cat call 1-800-GAMBLER you fucking dick that was good he actually made me think like Eddie Di Mercado he's probably gonna score this weekend because Gannon is feeling guilty he's like he has to apologize be like I'm sorry that I hit you tell you what here's a couple carries on the goal line get the ball Yeah.

1:42:13Good job, Jerry. Got under a minute. Yeah. I'm officially, I'm going to bet that right now before I forget. What did he say about T-Mac? Was he talking about T-T? T-T? Yeah. Like somebody yells at him about T-T? About T-T? Who's yelling, who out there is yelling at Jerry about T-T? T-Mac is also Trace McGrady. Yeah. No, T-Mac is Trace McGrady. Yeah, you can't, there's one T-Mac. But I feel like Jerry's the type of guy, he's allowed to just, he's just going to throw around nicknames everywhere. Yeah, Tet is... Yeah, Tet. Tet. He's Tet.

What? Hank? Good pick. Revenge, yeah. Getting revenge. I like it. He should have scored. I appreciate that. I'm getting revenge for you. Yeah, no, I appreciate that. Hank is out this week. I appreciate that. Mon Ra screwed us. I'm going to get revenge for my boy Hank.

1:44:30Mon Ra at night. I actually think that was a great pick last week, Hank. It was. It's a disaster. They scored like seven touchdowns. Yeah. A tragedy it didn't score. Do you mind if I go to that game as well? Oh. We're going double dip? Okay. Yeah. I can. No, no, no. I have two picks. There's only three. There's three shitty games. I'll let you pick. I'll let you pick. No, no, no. Go to that game. Romeo Dobbs or Xavier Worthy? Those are my two. Xavier Worthy hasn't scored yet. I like Xavier Worthy. Xavier Worthy. PFT? Are you also going to that game? No, I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm not going to triple dip.

1:45:05You got to get us on the board, PFT. Yeah, yeah. I'm looking at Bucs and Niners, and I'm thinking there's got to be a rushing touchdown there for the Bucs. The Niners actually haven't scored a rushing touchdown all season. Did you know that? Yeah. I think I'll go with – I'll go Chalky, Rashad White. Let's go Rashad White. Okay. Get on the board. Okay. I wasn't putting those in. That's on me. That's on me. That's fine. Put them in. Put them in. All right, so the standings right now, Zach, no, Memes, sorry, has six points. I have five points. Hank has five points. Max has five points. Zach and PFT have four points.

1:45:47We're all about equally as bad at gambling. We're worse. Well, no, I mean, the records are six and four is the leader. A bunch of us at five and five, then two people at four and six. We're all the same. We turn this around. We're one game off of 500. Yeah. All right, who's up first? As a unit. Is it me? That'd be a big cap. One, two, three. Okay. My pick, I'm going to take the Seattle Seahawks plus one and a half. I'm going to take the Detroit Lions. Actually, no. I'm going to take the over in that game, over 52 and a half. It's a fun over. Okay. Memes. I'm going to take the over in the Cowboys-Panthers over 49 and a half.

1:46:32Okay. Both of my first two picks were taken. I'm going to take Panthers plus three. Okay. I would like to take New England Patriots minus three and a half. Fuck. Good pick, Zach. I was going to do a PFT and try and take them minus six and a half. Nope, too late. I can audible. No, it's all right. I am going to take the Las Vegas Raiders minus three and a half against the Tennessee Titans, and then I get a second pick. And for my second pick, I'm going to take the Rams-Ravens over 45.5. 45.5 points. Okay. Zach, coming back around. I would like to take the over in the 49ers-Temba Buccaneers game at 47.5.

1:47:16Like it. I'm going to get stinky with an over 38.5 in Brown Steelers. Ooh, stinky, stinky. Memes. I'm going to take the Lions plus 2.5. Lions plus 2.5. Go ahead. I'm going to take a pick for the listeners. I'm going to take the Bears plus four and a half because I hope it's closer than that. Okay. I'm going to take my final pick will be Bills Falcons over 49 and a half Monday night. Double Monday night. So what is it? Plus 725 is our TD parlay. Yeah. Plus 725 for the TD parlay. Love it. Love it. I also love that Hank's always thinking about the listeners. Yeah, he is. Good guy. Always. Always.

1:49:30Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest. It is Tyler Biatish from the Washington Commanders, and he's here with Campbell's Chunky. Let's start there, actually. Is this the dream sponsorship? Walk me through when your agent's like, hey, we want you to rep the best soup possible. You're like, yeah, sign me up. I get to eat more soup. This is sick. Nah, man, it was awesome. Honestly, like, you know, just growing up and like seeing like the commercials of Campbell's and to be able to get a call from my agent and like hear about like it was going to be with Jaden and his mom with the features of it and like seeing the script.

1:50:12It was hilarious. So like we jumped right on it, too. And it was really unique, too, because it went right into camp, like the shoot. So it was a cool, unique bonding moment for both of us because it was us acting versus playing football, right? So it was really cool. It is soup season. I think that's officially underway right now. Yeah, we just started. Yeah, I'm going to have some of this for my lunch today. I think I'm looking at the sausage mac and the macaroni pasta. It's spicy. I like that one. There you go. I'm going to be diving into that one. I'm a big Commanders fan, big fan of yours.

1:50:43You had some great blocking on Sunday, especially that outside run that Bill had. You got out in space a little bit and threw your weight around. It was fun to watch. My question for you is, is Dan Quinn the same type of coach with the same type of aggressiveness in games where he doesn't get knocked over as in games where he gets a little bit bloody? Because I felt like I saw, like, you fucked around and woke Dan up when you got him a little bit bloody the other weekend. No, he was definitely a part of it. I mean, shoot, like, I didn't know he actually got hit on the sidelines until we came off on the PAT.

1:51:17and I just saw like blood running down his nose so like I really earned the field goal right before half but uh but now shoot man like he's always in the fight man he's a fighter and uh no it was just it was so like him his style of play like you know talking about how he his persona and his aura about things and it was like truly that was his identity in that moment and got right back up bloody nose like got it all taken care of at halftime came in at halftime we're all ready to go like it was awesome it was all yeah I saw that I was wondering if he went to the tent I don't know if they gave him a concussion test or whatever but whatever it was it woke him up I don't know I don't know what he did at half but uh but no he was ready to go into third quarter yeah awesome um so we talked to coach Quinn uh during training camp and we asked him I I'm curious about the shark week last year from a player's perspective what was shark week like uh in the locker room Were you like, what the hell is this guy talking about?

1:52:15Or were you like, oh, man, Shark Week, this is going to be firing us up? Because I'm basically like, what am I going to do when Dan Quinn announces it's Shark Week again? How am I going to react to the commanders? Yeah, it's just the perspective of just being where you are and what the situation is. I mean, and how DQ always talks about, like, we're the hunters, too. But also, like, you know, that came up the first time, I believe, on a short week where it's like Sunday, flip the page, you're on the next game week, right? So it's like you have that short little window of time, but you have to flip it in your mind of like, you know, right after that game on that Monday, it's really like a Wednesday.

1:52:52And then you're into your Thursday, Friday, you know, going into the game. And that Saturday, Friday is like in the same day of Wednesday. So whether you're traveling or not, but like the biggest point of it is like embracing it at all, I think, too. and uh you know i think it always brings back certain perspective too for me in regards of like um for myself is that like like hell yeah like if i played on thursday night like let's go you know like you know thursday night football and then you just get into that zone and throughout the week and then you speak it in to existence like and how your how your energy flows and how it's like dqy talks about it's like an extension of one another so having that vibe of sharp week early and explaining it and how we're going to get and how dqy says how we're going to get down like that amplifies to the whole you know staff you know coaches players everyone who's involved that's on that plane ride going on a Thursday night game or if it's at home too so um you know he he sets the tone and you know he calls it we haul it right so yeah I like that yeah I think it applies to the fans too if I if I know it's shark week I prepared differently that week as well I move everything up a little bit more yeah we had wristbands on and everything Like we, it was like law of attraction was out.

1:54:06Yeah. I love that. And so, so this week we got Monday night football, big game commanders against the bears. It's me versus big cat. We have an annual bet where the loser gets a tattoo. Uh, so there's, there's a lot riding personally in this podcast on that game. What's the preparation been like for Chicago? Yeah, no. So we just got started, uh, going into today and, um, you know, this is our day where we We kind of have a little bit more time to recover where we're going to get more into game prep tomorrow. But just having film from last year of their personnel, they obviously have like some new coaches over there.

1:54:42But having that, you know, awareness of personnel and like how and who played certain different positions and stuff, you can kind of get a jump on it as a player. But obviously, like, you know, scheme and schematics kind of coming from coaches will kind of dial in tomorrow. so yeah do you have anything in the game plan where it's like we need to just rely on some more lucky bullshit like the hot hill mary last year and i'm saying that is the most bitter person ever because it did it did for all intents and purposes completely end the bears season yeah no i mean shoot obviously uh you got to have a good you know you know certain situation what was your reaction after like when you're when you when that happens then you get in the locker room i feel like holy fuck did that actually just happen no like it was uh it was it was wild too because like when i saw the direct to when we when jayden kept running back and forth and he finally got to a spot and he threw it up like i saw it get tipped and then i saw someone catch it but i'd even i couldn't even see who caught it because everyone was like freaking out down uh in the end zone but i like turn to everyone like to my old lineman jayden and everyone was like in their like shock moment some people started running some people started just like you know celebrating throwing their helmet our sideline was going nuts like and that everyone like rushed the field like obviously is a game winner right so like you had this huge uh like blackout period of like just celebration you got in the locker room like holy shit we just did that holy shit like that was my first one i was a part of for a hail mary so um especially coming off that game where we kind of like had a lot of, you know, we had a lot of, you know, pre-snap and like some penalties that kind of hurt us ourselves that took away some touchdowns.

1:56:30And it was one of those games where it was like, you know, the luck just hit right at the right time. So obviously it was a cool special moment at the same time too. After the game, did you go back and did you watch like all the highlights that people were making of the Hail Mary where they put like Celine Dion from Titanic over it and like all the soundtracks. Did you spend any time doing that? I spent a good like probably three weeks just watching replays of that over and over again. I saw a lot of different shots of it. So I saw a lot of different like side angles of it, like how it all started, like the wide receivers and how they like went in a certain alignment.

1:57:08Like I think maybe Luke was in front, Zach was in the middle. I think Terry was on the side and Noah was in the back. but I remember like watching the side angle from it and just the development of the whole play but also like it was so interesting to just to get to that play was the I believe the short pass to Zach and then the out pass to Terry yeah and just to get to that spot where Jaden had enough or we had enough leverage to actually get the ball up like that so I just remember like having a good sense of like we have enough time to get to the sticks of where we need to get to and then uh after the game you know there's a lot of memes out there like so you know obviously you see a good amount yeah they're great i have a question for you about jayden love watching him play uh he's been a breath of fresh air for this franchise at quarterback and i always see him like he seems to joke around a lot with the other team during a game like i don't know if he's a shit talker i don't know if he's like making fun of him i don't know if he's like introducing himself and becoming friends with them during the game but like is does he talk shit or is he just being friendly to the other team because he does it a lot it's in his own way.

1:58:21I would say like I haven't seen it like that but it's hilarious because that's who he is you know that's how he you know you even see him like you know blocking for uh Bill on the sideline last game and there's a shot of him like about to you know block someone he has a smile on his face so like that's just who he is right and uh but it's also pretty funny like you know we'll be talking shit out there and everything and like and then Jaden will come in and like say whatever he says right but it's just like it's it kind of like you know screws around the defense a little bit too because i remember i don't think burns liked it yeah until the first game yeah he made some comments about it but like i mean the fact that he's making comments about it kind of says something too though so yeah because i feel like he he tries to like joke around with them and just like kind of disarms them a little bit if they're like pissed off jay don't come in there like crack a joke smile because everyone's so aggressive yeah and they're like what's this guy doing why he being friendly to me right now I don't like that but yeah for sure and you have a lot of people that respect Jaden and especially for what he's done and even his first year and everything and but that's just his again like that's his personality and that's how he goes about it and everything but it's uh but he has so much fun playing the game which you know which I look at in such a unique perspective too and and even like before on that last drive we had with the charges like you know I've seen some things on like Twitter or like not Twitter but Instagram of how, you know, him and Debo, like, what dance they were going to do before the touchdown or whatever it was, but he was dancing in the huddle.

1:59:52Like, just being in the moment, he's a big guy that, like, he's in that specific moment and really embraces it. And, like, when you get a TV timeout, you know, having that relaxation in the huddle and, like, seeing where we're at, what's the situation, and, you know, he's just dialed in. Yeah. All right. So, Tyler, you're a Badger, I'm a Badger. how do we fix the Badger program and more importantly you're from Wisconsin son of dairy farmers Barry Alvarez when he first came to Wisconsin basically not exact quote but basically it was like Wisconsin has a lot of fat people and we've got to keep them in state.

2:00:30How do we you were an offensive lineman getting recruited how do we keep the big boys because that's really the part that drives me nuts is Wisconsin football should run the ball and be able to punish people with the offensive line that's kind of the nature of what the program should be and we've gone away from that so how do we fix it yeah i'm not really sure in regards of like schematics of how you know things are because everyone has a different philosophy and everyone has a different scheme of what they want to go for and like obviously like if you look at my career like i was pro style yeah down dallas and like and i'm you you have a mixture of everything here right so like you you can do it in regards of not necessarily running power or like it's just more so about like you know sticking to the basics like what like stacking those great days of like hey like how how detailed can we be and just getting to those like marginal gains of like hey like on this play like you know the aiming point of the running back or like you know the combination block getting it you know push this outside so like you can have that cut back lane it just goes that back down to basics I think, and obviously like with football, you're going to have those injuries where like, it's that next man up mentality.

2:01:39And I think that's the biggest part of preparation is like, whether you're, you know, second on the depth chart, starting, whatever, like you have to be ready for that opportunity. I think right now they're kind of facing that adversity where it's that next man up mentality. You know, I've noticed that there's a good amount of guys on the injury report, but that's that opportunity for the next upcoming to really, you know, raise the bar. and get back to the standard of what Badger football is all about, being gritty and just grinding, you know, getting to that next step of, like, moving the chains.

2:02:11Like, it doesn't matter how pretty it is. Just move those chains, you know, get to the red zone, get to those fourth and manageables where you can, you know, stretch out that risk and press that envelope. But they will. You know, I have confidence in that. They will. They'll turn it around. Yeah, and when you were deciding to go to Wisconsin, I assume it was somewhat of an easy choice just in because of what the offensive line you know like the powerhouse they've created in terms of like draft picks I know you were you converted from a defensive lineman is that right right but you always did you always know when you went to when you like started school where you're like I know what they're going to do they're going to make me another one of these you know incredible offensive linemen just churn it out and be like drafted and have a good NFL career I really didn't know honestly like I really didn't know uh I got offered the scholarship for D-line and then I when I went over there for a spring practice i was watching the d lineman and uh you know some of the guys pulled me aside like hey like come come watch the o-line here you know and uh and i was just like all right like i'll watch both you know and i really didn't know how it was all going to shake out because i'm like how am i supposed to try for both positions like i really just didn't know and uh you know coming from a very small school like you know so i lit so i went into camp and when i got to my locker it was number 61 with knee braces on o-line cleats i'm like all right i kind I know where I'm at.

2:03:30But in the spring, though, in the springtime, too, though, one of my, you know, high school teammates, Garrett Groshek, he played with me at Wisconsin. He was the backup when John Taylor was there, too. But he would get stats from me when I was still in high school, like finishing up that year, just in preparation, just in case I was center, you know. So I went into the first year and just had to learn center. And it's so interesting, too. Like I always tell like some of the guys, like because the story is really unique, because I had to start kind of from ground zero of like, you know, learning how to play center.

2:04:03And like, you know, I have a teammate here with the commanders, like Michael Dieter, and he taught me how to play center, like truly. And I had Dan Volts as well and a lot of like the alumni that were there just to pick their brains about some stuff. But it was just the ongoing process too, like how I talked about before, badge football. It's like they really do put you in the best position possible. and you do see a lot of position changes coming from you know might not might not even be like smaller schools but like you really see like even like you know for example like one of my teammates like David Edwards like he came in he was a quarterback in high school tight end first year Wisconsin then he went to you know tackle right and I play with him and and now he's a guard right for the bill so it's like so it's really unique in that way but it's also like putting yourself in the best position possible then you know just going for it and really truly just getting down to like the nitty gritty of like footwork technique and really being efficient with your hands and being a technician.

2:05:01So, um, just having that mentality at Wisconsin and, uh, and that culture, it's, it's, it's really cool. I love the idea that you just were, you were playing defense and all of a sudden there's just two like clunky knee braces sitting in your locker. You're like, well, I guess I get the sign now. They're grooming you. It was so funny too. Cause like I was playing like standup five technique in high school. Like, you know sometimes i play the three tech but it was just hilarious though because like you know you start from ground zero but like you just took that opportunity just to embrace it all and like yeah i had so many great role models i had like you know even like ryan ramchick that he was there my first year and got to really like you know talk a lot talk a lot of ball with him and you know like how i said before like michael dietro and had a lot of guys like david edwards like just to bring me under their wing and but to be a really cool part of that you know culture But then obviously you have, you know, Jonathan Taylor come in and then it's just like this.

2:05:54It's a massive like like fulfillment of like the run game and like how that that's when you started to really love the game. Because like defense, when you play defense, like it's totally it's a different type of game for like an offense player versus defense. Like there's like, you know, you like the like the play schematically learning different like formations and everything like that. Like it was really cool. Yeah. And pass blocking is like a completely different mentality from anything you're doing on defense. right it's like you were just like attacking and now you're like okay i gotta wait for the guy to come to me yeah they're like you know kick and post i'm like what does that mean like yeah you know so it was really really cool to you know to learn a new technique but also to you know get it down to you know a very high level where family and friends were they were they understanding when you told them that you were going to play offense now like what was that conversation like um it wasn't too much of it was more so like oh that's different like how do you feel about that You know, like, I guess if it makes you happy, then we're happy.

2:06:52I'm like, well, I have a, you know, I have the football in my hand every play. So that's a little different. You know, like I literally have it in my hand, like more than anyone else in the game. So it's a, it's a unique job, but also comes with a lot of responsibility. Yeah. Making the calls and being quick and efficient with them. And, but also that, that challenge is like, that's, that's the best part of it. Like, you know, just getting a front. it's like a maybe a low you know frequency front of like what they might run and then you get it and you knock it out the park like that's that's that's awesome how bad does it suck during a two minute drill when you you have like a deep completion and then you have to sprint up to the ball and then get down to your stance get set and then snap it because i feel like that's a very underrated hard thing that offensive linemen have to do yeah i would say like the so this last game like with like the charges like we had the one right before halftime and that's awesome like that's part of the challenge too like when you're in a clocking situation you got a long you know pass and everything and you get down you get a set and you get clocked at like three seconds like when you run that each and every like friday to like you know perfection and use like you you have these situationals down path and like the the hard the harder one the challenge is like when you cover a ball after like a 35 yard gain and you get down there and there's a maybe a penalty or like something to bring it back yeah and you got to jog back you know like that's because I've been in situations where like I've literally covered down the field a good amount of you know yards and like you got to you know come back that's the challenge I would say like it doesn't suck it's more so like damn you know like I thought we had that one you know But it's one of those things where you come back, and that's where the conditioning part is in, especially throughout this offense.

2:08:42It's like we do a lot of great tempo, and Jaden and Cliff do a great job of calling it. Yeah, so we're always ready. Yeah, one thing when it comes to spiking, I'm always worried that Jalen Carter is going to dive through the legs and just try to intercept a spike. You know that he tries to do that, right? And he's going to do it one day, and it's going to be awesome when it happens. I just don't want it to happen to us. Yeah, no, he tries a lot of different stuff, you know. He's very unique in those situations. I think a lot of those guys, though, too, have seen that. And I don't know why. It's always – like I've had several people, like, try to dive through my legs, and I'm just like, yo, like – because it's an awkward position because, like, you try to block down, you know, like try to just, like, you know.

2:09:25And so – but he's been close, though, other than that. Yeah. He's been close. A number of guys have been kind of close. but um i got a kind of a dumb question for you we have a guy in our office mike kadik who played uh center for indiana and when he gets drunk he'll just like randomly just start at a bar just start doing like past process and stuff like that how often does that happen in the offensive line community where if you're just drunk like you're just like you know what i'm not getting laid tonight i'm just gonna start doing some process with my boys at the bar i would say that definitely that's definitely a thing in college for sure just get your hands on somebody yeah no it was it's more like it's so funny because it's like in college you have so much time with one another and it was it was one of those things where like you would always like it was so ingrained in your brain to get this down or like you know the technique and everything and you know you have a couple drinks and you have have some fun or whatever but like in regards of just like you know being more open to the topic of where you're at in that in that set and everything like i'm gonna get it down i'm gonna get my off hand down you know everything like that so i could definitely see it no for sure i could definitely see that yeah that's hilarious i didn't know i didn't know that was universal like that yeah he does it a lot and it's always shocking when he does because he's got obviously like a quick first step and so when you You see a big guy moving like that.

2:10:55You're like, oh, that is kind of cool. It is a fun party trick. But in reality, what you're doing is you're just like going from a crouch to taking one step, and everyone's like, whoa, that's wild. Yeah, stay in half man. It's right there. Yeah. Like, do you still wrestle with the boys? I feel like that's something that a lot of linemen do too. It's just like, come on, let's wrestle. Let's have a quick wrestle. Yeah. Yeah. No, we had some wrestlers from high school going into college on our team, and they reached some wrestling matches on vacation. yeah yeah yeah uh this might be a dumb question but do you do you ever forget the snap count no i think it's more so like and and sometimes it's it kind of correlates like yes and no i think there's a variation of it whether or not you lose the snap count like in regards of uh throughout if you're making a call and you don't hear the first part like that's happened in my uh in my you know throughout my collegiate career into the pros sometimes but um it's it's uh you have like certain certain code words to make sure like you're not on it but you know that's the routine like when you are making a call like you want to have a routine of like all right this is on hard count this is i'm going to approach this so i get back to reminding after you making two different calls making sure it's like on the road right crowd noise and everything you got to make everyone's on the same page and then you have to go back into the snap count and then it's like making sure everyone's on the same page too so there's been some times where you know you know you get down even like on a certain you know play clockwise too like you get down and like what are the mechanics too of the play clock on the road and certain situations like that but like long story short like yeah there's been some times for sure and but that's the piece of you know like i said before like there's a lot of responsibility when you have the ball in your hands for most of games yeah i would just keep repeating to myself like okay on two yeah don't forget it on two on two on two that's the only thing i would think about at that point uh throughout your career as a center you've you played with a few different quarterbacks i'm curious because you guys have a close relationship a unique relationship between the center and the quarterback if you were blindfolded and had like noise canceling earphones on could you tell the difference between jayden under center marcus under center and dak under center me throwing horny brook too horny brook too yeah could you be like oh yeah that's dac that's definitely horny brook yeah i would definitely think i would know uh dax and jaden's the most uh and i probably would i probably would know marcus's as well okay um horny brooks is sorry horny horny it's been it's been it's been a minute it's been a while yeah yeah but maybe it would be like riding a bicycle you'd be like oh yeah i feel that knuckle Oh, shit.

2:13:40Yeah. When Jaden's on the center, do you ever think about Hornybrook? No. Like, close your eyes. Oh, man. All right. Well, this has been awesome. I got one last question for you, Tyler. It's the Roback question. RHO, B-A-C-K.com. Promo code TAKE. 20 % off your first purchase. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com. Promo code TAKE. It's been a lot of fun. Thanks to Campbell's Chunky for setting this up. The best soup in the game. That's a fact. We mentioned a lot of players. You mentioned Jonathan Taylor. Like, very simple question, just how sick is he? Because he just keeps – he keeps just being the sickest running back.

2:14:17Would you ever just, like, watch him, you know, when he busts through the line and you're just like, God damn it, he's so good. Yeah, I definitely, like, you know, follow a lot of the, you know, the Badger players too. Like, if I know, like, someone's playing on, you know, Monday night or Thursday night when you have an opportunity to watch them. But, like, JT, like, you know, he's all over the board of, like, stat sheets this year and like and what he's been and he's always been really like that too you know even from college into the NFL like you know he's a workhorse and and what he's done in the NFL too is is awesome to see and uh man like his uh his ability speaks volumes and uh he's even he's an even way better like you know person than he's a player no like no no not possible just not but have you have you been have you been uh you know a friendship for with him a long time and you've been around him enough.

2:15:06He's the most genuine human being. But he's the best running back in the NFL right now, or one of the best, top three. Is he a top three human? In my opinion. Okay. Like in all the world. All the world. The entire world. What about your parents? Who knows? Yeah. You're right. It's not a knock on him. He's probably a really great dude, but there's just no way he's a better person than he is football player because he's that good at football. All right. We'll see. We'll see. Who knows? Who knows? Yeah. What if he gets like a noble peace prize? He might. Yeah. We'll be looking like assholes. I mean, if he gets the Colts to like deepen the playoffs, it would also be a really good sign of him as a human being.

2:15:52He would help so many people out. Yeah. That'd be really nice of him. That's a great point. All right. Well, Tyler, this has been awesome, man. Thank you so much. Best of luck rest of the season except for Monday night. Great luck on Monday night. Yeah. It's going to be awesome. Yeah, and we appreciate it. And shout out Campbell's Chunky for setting this up.

So you obviously heard Thursday. You heard the beginning of the show.

2:17:06So, Max, hopefully we're still alive. Hopefully we're still alive. I think one person doesn't want us to be alive. I know that's for sure. I think one of you guys is going to be still alive. Oh, who doesn't want us to be alive? Is there anyone in here who maybe bet against all of our teams? Not me. i have a i have a hater parlay okay i have payout uh bet 25 win a thousand love money memes i have an issue with you though because i we talked about it earlier and then i heard you you doubled down on it memes thinks that it would be better for the show if we both if both of us or one of us lost tonight than if the phillies and cubs advanced and we had pmt Armageddon on Monday night where it would be Bears, Commanders, and then Cubs, Phillies.

2:17:56I would love that. How would that not be the best thing for the show? I don't want to neglect this show that we're doing. I think it would highly increase this show and then if the Phillies make it to Monday, I don't think the Cubs are making it. Okay, that's fine. The Phillies making it to Monday will be just as good. A Phillies Cubs NLCS would be awesome for the show. awesome. Nah, Phillies would curb stomp. But that would be awesome. You'd have a week of me being mad at Max. How would that be awesome in the show? His logic makes no sense. He's become such a hater, he doesn't even want the show to do it anymore.

2:18:36No, the problem is then one of us would go to the World Series and he can't have that. Oh, yeah, yeah. Guaranteed World Series. I mean, World Series loss would be awesome for memes, though. Just think about that, memes. How good would that be? If you think about numbers, losing in the World... You can't be a scared hater. What if Max got no hit in the World Series again? Again, and it was another one exactly like the other one that was also a no hitter. Also, I want Big Cat's attention to be completely divided on Monday. That would be hell. I want him to lose all focus. By the way, Big Cat, I have a game ball for Monday.

2:19:06There's so much that has to go. I agree. This conversation could be completely moot right now. One of us could easily be, or both of us could easily be eliminated. So this conversation is stupid. But I'm saying as it sits right now at 2 o 'clock on Thursday, you should be rooting for the Phillies and Cubs to play in the NLCS for the show. Sure. But if you guys lose Game 5 on a Saturday, it does nothing for the show. True. All right. I see where your point is on that. You guys should have to shave your mustache. All right. So what you're saying is – Yeah, sure. Yeah, memes. Yeah. What you're saying is – And I actually agree with this take.

2:19:39If the Phillies and Cubs are not going to advance, you need them to just lose tonight. Yeah. That's fair. That is fair. Because you want it to happen on a show night. Yes. It's kind of like, what was the Celtics-Knicks, where we just didn't have any show nights? Oh, yeah, that sucked. Yeah. That was bad. I feel like you guys got eliminated on a Friday. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I had a trophy made for Monday night. Oh! Bears versus Commanders. Yes! It's right here. It's the football. Oh, my God. I'm putting it on the line. Hell, yes. I'm putting it on the line. We're betting the football. Shane's favorite football.

2:20:13I love this. Winner gets to keep that and do whatever they want with it. I love this. Is it a good football? It's an incredible football. It's a damn good football. Maybe one day that can be yours, Hank. Wow. Yeah, and a tattoo. And a tattoo, yeah. It's a great football. The football is a bigger deal than the football. The football is forever. That football is incredible. Yeah, it's a good football. That's so good. You want to feel it, Hank? Have a catch. Pretty good. I'm going to say right now, if I win that football, I would like to maybe put it up as in a future PFT versus Hank golf match. Oh, wow.

2:20:54Not the one you guys already filmed, but a future one. Nice. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. We should just maybe have to splash the pot. It's so nice of a football. I feel like when I win this football bet, I'm not going to want to put it up for grabs again ever again. It is an incredible football. It is good. Yeah. All right. Firefest. Hank. Yeah, we alluded to it earlier in the show. You're racist. The Patriots are wearing their all-white uniforms, and they tweeted out, just as every team does, the graphic with their uniforms of the week. And obviously, another storyline on the show is me and Max going to Penn State, me going to the whiteout, doing the whole we are thing.

2:21:33So I quote tweeted and just said we are. Yeah. Playing into the whiteout element of the jerseys. people thought you meant we are all white i i don't even understand what that means like that is just the example of social media like people reaching and just going so so reacting so fast i mean like you're racist like i don't i i'm so i don't even understand how that could be racist like we are all white we're not all white what does that even mean i didn't think about that what does that even mean though i didn't think you were racist if i was saying we are all white that what does that even mean obviously we're not all white we're not we aren't no correct hashtag we aren't but you you want them to no even even if like no Hank answer this question if it's all white it's all right oh okay there we go okay threw in the tea no okay all right so people were really actually mad at you yeah for maybe they're just mad honestly keeps it factual look oh man that's people were doing like classic barstool like classic yeah i don't know i don't i i don't even fundamentally understand how that could be perceived that way but yeah it was it was just one of those like i don't really even tweet that much but i don't either i'll be tweeting less i gotta be under i gotta be honest i don't get it either i don't really yeah it's quite a reach like the fucking you said way more racist stuff the fucking a man i got like that was funny you like that was very like clearly could be interpreted i have a solution as fucking a man i have a solution hank you ready this is just yeah you ready people reaching late october new zealand's rugby teams coming to chicago you have to be the biggest all black supporter yeah sure that's the name of their team that's so bizarre i guess yeah i don't know that is very very bizarre that people just took that in a different a completely different i mean i guess they don't understand the we are thing yeah like that's a well i mean nfl fans college fans are not wait like if you're following me on twitter i was doing the we are right for like an entire two this is very funny that people actually were upset i yeah i don't really understand how saying we are and they're talking about the all-white jerseys that i don't know i don't i don't get that one unless is is the penn state whiteout is that race did you get unintentionally dragged into a racist thing i maybe yeah i guess this is penn state that's why they call it a cult because yeah i always thought that it was called a white out because they like to cover up their mistakes yeah yeah exactly it's exactly what it is okay well hank you're not racist thank you one of the least racist guys i know he does really want to we are all white what but that again like what we're not so like i don't even understand that What do you mean by we?

2:24:25That's what I... We are. We are. Penn State. You're hoping that's the future of America? Is that what you're saying? We are. All white. Play the max. That's when you guys were supposed to say... Penn State. Sorry. I'm used to having max. We are. Repeat it. Stay Penn. Thank you. You're welcome. You're welcome. All right. PFT. My Fyre Fest of the week, it goes back to what I told you guys last week about how I hired another man to walk into my house to bring his other man tools to go into my other man room and hang up my guitar hanger, my guitar stand on my wall. He did a great job, turned out awesome, very happy with it.

2:25:09But in my reimagining of this same office room, I've run into what I think is a much, much, much bigger problem that I don't really know how to solve. I have a couch in that room. there's a couch it takes up too much space in that room i'm looking to open it up and uh i have no idea how to get the couch out of my room it's impossible i have a big brown couch that's in that room it does not fit through the door you gotta break it i so then i thought to myself what are my options with this couch uh i thought maybe i could lift it up through the window because there's a window in that room yep um but it doesn't fit through that window so i can't just put it out the window it was there when you got there no somehow it got into the room when i moved in you gotta find out who who moved it in i yeah the it was a russian guy from new york that i paid to drive my stuff across the country are you tossing the couch i would love to toss the couch just get a couch doctor yeah just break the shit out of it well okay smash the couch that was my other option is like okay maybe i i disassemble this couch it's like a leather couch i don't know what's inside of the leather.

2:26:17I thought about renting like a power saw. Yeah, chainsaw. But I thought about chainsaw, power saw, but then chainsaw probably shouldn't use that indoors. No, you should. Well, if it's electric, maybe, but I already got an electric power wash. You don't want to be too much for a pussy. Yeah, people rake me for that one. So I thought maybe I get like a power saw, a circular saw, but I don't know where the springs are or the staples or the metal or the nails inside. And I read up on it. That can be very dangerous if you do that. So I don't know. Or goggles. I don't know how to get this fucking There's a couch that's holding me hostage It's barricaded itself In my office I don't know what to do You keep saying it What's a couch doctor You never had to do this in New York No I do it multiple times They come I'm sure they have it in Chicago But definitely more of a New York Manhattan thing But they just come and like Cut your couch in half Take it out and then put it back together I have an idea.

2:27:15That's actually a job? Yeah. A couch doctor? Yeah. Like Johnny Sins? Mm-hmm. I'm surprised you never heard of that. No. That was very, very common. Because you can't get the couch into any of those doors. I have an idea, though. Better idea than a couch doctor. And it's usually like a Russian. Yeah, yeah. Good. Good. Yeah. Could I offer you, maybe for a PMTV, we give the cream team a couple tools, and we just put them in your basement we just see what happens hey get out when you get out we could get that couch out for you pt that's what i'm saying good the two of them trying to get that couch out okay if you don't care about the couch's health no in fact i the couch i think we got i would just send the cream team to your basement i would almost put a camera there and just be like get it out i would almost prefer that the couch be destroyed after the last like two weeks of me trying to figure out how to get this fucking thing through the door perfect so the health of the couch does not matter just get it out of your house no no in fact like yeah i want you to hurt it like abuse it on the way out yeah yeah yeah i don't want that capture dead or alive unless unless there's somebody out there that could use a free couch but i don't think you want this guy this couch is bad luck we will if you welcome us into your home we will leave with a couch okay i love that all right yeah hired but don't mess up his walls or anything no you can't no no No, no, no.

2:28:37We respect your home 100%. We would have no intent of going in there and just messing up your space. That's your safe space. That's your home. Yep. And I'll put money inside the couch, like under the cushions. I'll hide money in the couch, whatever you find you keep. Okay. As your payment. I'm happy to do it for you. Okay. I'll inform Jacob. Okay. Dude, what can't the cream team do? They can do it all. They can do it all. Well. What? keep the machine on for when Max is trying to watch a Phillies elimination game. Oh, can't do that. Did they lose? Was this a loss for the Phillies? Last night. Oh, so Max is 1-0 when the ice cream machine is working.

2:29:20Oh, no. Do we have to shut it off? I didn't even want the ice cream last night. It was the other people. Max, come on. You can go on stream. You can see it. I was trying to say no ice cream because we were playing well without the ice cream. So we got to shut it off. And then Dana wanted the ice cream. Are we shutting it off for the Phillies game? I don't care. I'm not eating any ice cream during the Phillies game. You got to just keep doing what you did. Weight loss. I went down three pounds this week because of the Phillies. I was too anxious. Let's go. Let's go, Max. I'm back on track. Let's go.

2:29:48All right. My fire for us. Zach, what were you going to say? I was just going to say we weren't sure if keeping it. We had it open for the Cubs game and then after Darkstream, we weren't sure if a third night in a row was going to hurt it. Yes. So we're going to have it open again tonight, but we can test how many days in a row we can go, but that could lead to just need a tech to come in. Yeah, no, we don't want that. We don't want that. All right, my FireFest is a quick one. We're all tired this time of year, football season, but there's moments that I'm tired that my brain doesn't work and I have to stop myself.

2:30:25And it happened this morning because I came down to my kitchen and my kids were getting ready for school. And my son, first thing he said to me was, where's the big check? And my first like knee jerk thought was, how the fuck did Hank get to my son? And then I had to stop and be like, wait, I did talk to him about the big check like two days ago. But that moment was like, I had to really kind of reassess and be like, you thought actually for a second that Hank somehow got to your son and got him to troll you with a big check question at fucking seven in the morning. So I need to sleep because that was bad.

2:31:05But that's great work by Hank. Right and free, yeah. That's great work by Hank to make your enemy believe that you're capable of anything. I was so mad at myself for having that moment of weakness where I was like, what the fuck? Where the hell is Hank? You should have accepted it. No, I actually shouldn't. We won. Raises a fair question. We won on Wednesday. He was looking for daddy. He won the 50-50. He's going to talk to a therapist in 30 years about how daddy didn't come home with the big check that he promised one time. I know. I did promise a big check. I'm going to get a big check of my own.

2:31:34Just walk around with it. Write yourself a check. Yeah. Zach. My Firefest of the week is I think I've become uncomfortably addicted to Stella's Coffee Run, the mobile game. Yes. I can't stop playing Stella's Coffee Run. I play it in the Uber. I play it when I'm laying in bed. I play it when I'm using the restroom. Any free time I've had in the last couple weeks, I've just been grinding Stella's Coffee Run. I just got kicked out of the top ten, and I'm pretty pressed about it. Yeah, I've watched Zach play it. It's awesome. It's so much fun. Yeah, go play Stella's Coffee Run. I still don't understand how you play it.

2:32:08I keep trying to go, and you can't play it. The game has ended? I thought, yeah. Limited time only? I don't know how you got in there. He keeps playing. Yeah, I think he's hacked into the back end or something. I mean, it might be like, hey, if you couldn't get a certain score, you're out. It was a limited time only thing, I thought. We may have to bring it back. We have to bring it back. I like that Zach might be hacked into the system, and it's just like him competing against memes. If I was hacked in, I would have placed myself back top 10 because I was pretty upset about getting booted. How did you get booted when no one else can play except for you?

2:32:42We're playing. I just Yeah I'm looking at his phone he's playing Yeah it's a great game But like look at the computer It won't let anyone else play Zach's probably a mod he probably banned you Alright let me try mobile maybe it's mobile I've watched him play He is addicted You guys should try it out there it's so good It's a great game Well I don't even know if the people can try it out there We gotta bring it back We do have to bring it back Hank's got something Hank has something permission to be a rat yes permission granted i was in the booth the other day for an interview and they were talking about their diet oh this is fucked up

2:33:25also i just tread mobile still doesn't work okay so zach is playing he's playing by himself and he's getting he's losing ground which interview is this what happened i think it was Tuesday. Okay. I mean, the wheels are just... It just... You guys gotta let it out there. I think a little bit of shame will maybe kickstart you into positivity. I had a good week. I also had... Who are you talking to? Hank's trying to do you a favor by shaming you right now. That's what you guys don't understand. It was... Say that with your mind. Say it. I think Hank might be only throwing me under the bus. Not the whole entire...

2:34:09Well, it was the whole booth. It was the booth conversation, and you guys were like, we can't talk about this, we can't talk about this. And in my head, I was like, I'm sitting here. Like, I can't. Yes, because Zach had a historic meal one of these days this week. It wasn't even that bad. It was like, all right, we're here now. I guess we'll just get into it. Yeah, let's do it. Hard conversation. Yeah, hard conversation, I guess, is a carb conversation. I was a little homesick, and I was like, all right let me just eat some comfort food so i just had some baconator fries some chicken sandwiches and some concretes that was it reminds you home wait there was a lot of s's on those yeah i'm i think it's a i think i might have like a an even number thing going on sometimes where i i prefer the the anyways that's i'm rambling but all right no no no back up you you like burgers and even numbers i like yeah i don't know that sounds no burgers it was all chicken No burgers It was a big order It was like Oh it's not bad And then he was like Yeah it was Two concretes Give us the full order I got four Baconator fries The nuggets were Buy ten get ten free So that's like You gotta get a deal You gotta And then The value chicken sandwich So the small ones And then Wait how many Just two Two I kept things even And then I got Two concretes At Smalls of Oil Alright so two chicken sandwiches But that Butterfinger one Four fries, 20 nuggets, two concrete.

2:35:36What are the flavor profiles of the concrete? So the first one was Butterfinger Pie, which is like Butterfinger mixed in with vanilla and marshmallow fluff. And the second one's called Triple Chocolate Cake, which is chocolate fudge, chocolate ice cream, and chocolate cake. And you can have them add additional chocolate cake if you want to. I didn't do that this time. You did not. Did not. I was just putting you on concrete game. You didn't add anything to either one of them or just one of them? No, I didn't add anything to either of them. I was just trying to put you on a little sauce. All right, I appreciate that.

2:36:02And for people who are wondering what concretes are, they're basically milkshakes, like heavier milkshakes. Yeah. They're good. And this booth was a safe space, and it's no longer safe. Hank just completely violated your trust. Wait, how are Memes and Max doing? I'd go good week, down three pounds. I'm down six and a half. Oh, okay. So Zach, you got to just. I got to carry my weight, ebb and flow. It's a team sport, and I'm letting the team down. It's a lot of weight. We got time left. Unfortunately, it's a lot of weight. Do you think maybe I can spot one part of your meal that might be an easy part to cut back on the calories from?

2:36:35If that's okay. Yeah. I need all the advice I can get. I think maybe just get two Baconator fries instead of four Baconator fries. They did short the fourth one, so it was really like 3.5. Okay. Oh. Well, you didn't say that. We should have said that. They're very good. They're going to eat the Baconator fries. If I were to pick one part of it, I'd say maybe not four orders of fries. You're right. 100%. Yeah. We can work on that. I think that's doable, right, for a goal? 100%. Also, that was actually only meal of the day. Oh. He's a weird eater like that. Yeah. Yeah. The story's getting better and better.

2:37:03Yeah. Did it make you feel less homesick? No. I just woke up the next morning and saw that Wendy's gave me the big, big bag, and I was like, this is fat. Yeah. And I regretted it. Also, is your mom Wendy? No. How is that fixing homesickness? There's a Wendy's down the street from my house. Comfort food. Comfort food. Comfort food. Comfort food. I think it's like a pop pie or a pop pie. Because they got Wendy's in Florida, too. Carbs are good for celebrating and bad days. So you just sometimes got to lean into the food. They're good for everything. What's your happy meal?

2:37:37It just depends. I get into kicks, but a lot of times you go savory then sweet. So I do really enjoy french fries. So a french fry variant of some sort, and then ice cream is like a must. Do you switch back and forth? I switch back and forth. I go one and one. So you hit a little salty, hit the ice cream, a little salty, finish on the... All right, so you know what? That's the problem, Zach. It's not a problem because it's just this is how we're wired as guys. You just got trapped in the cycle because like I get trapped in the cycle sometimes where I'll be like, oh, I want a snack. Oh, I want a little chocolate.

2:38:07Oh, I want to go back to the snack. And then next thing you know, you've eaten an entire bag of chips and an entire bag of candy. You get caught up in back and forth. You just get in the cycle. You can't get out of the cycle because you don't know which one to finish with. We're cycle guys. We don't have to be cycle guys. We can break them. No, I think I look. It's good. Yeah, it is. It is. That was fucked up that Hank did. Yeah, it was. It was probably the most fucked up thing Hank's done this week. Oh. What? We are. Hank hasn't looked like, no, that's not even close to the most fucked up. That was a callback to me freaking out at him on Sunday.

2:38:38It was very funny. I was sitting there like they just kept talking about how we can't talk about it. And I just was like, I was going to bring it up Tuesday, but it was a long show. Memes, did you have a better week? This week? Yeah. Good week. All right, let's go. You're back, memes. Could be great tonight. Okay. That's why it was a good week. Yeah. All right, let's finish off.
