PMS 2.0 1500 - Live From San Francisco for Super Bowl XL Radio Row with Christian McCaffrey, Matt Ryan, Daniel Lurie, Terry Cole, Rob Woodson, Thor Bjornsson, Robert Irwin, Brock Purdy, Rob Riggle, Justin Gaethje, Liam Coen, James Winston, and Von Miller

10:17Pat McAfee:Yeah, his dad, Marine, Ura, everything like that. But he, they're about to lose the company. Took money out, I think, from like a loan or something like that. Goes to Las Vegas. Wins, doubles down, able to send things. Like that's how the company. No way. Yeah, dude's a real dog. Legend. Yeah, so like you get a FedEx award. Like I think we would actually be pumped up by it because it's like an incredible American story.

10:39Christian McCaffrey:Well, we got to give you one of these pins things. That's who this pin's for. Well, I haven't earned it. Okay, you did a lot. Okay, you did a lot.

10:44Pat McAfee:Let's talk about that. As soon as you get to the Niners, and I think we've talked to you about it before, potentially in the past. But has there ever been a more perfect fit for you in a place like Shanahan's offense? Because whenever you come from the Panthers, because you went to Carolina, took over Carolina. OK, Cam Newton, obviously MVP. It was his team. It became your team, though, because of obviously how dynamic you are in all facets. You come to the Niners. First game, you're throwing. I think you're catching. You're running. And it felt like a perfect fit. Does it still feel like that?

11:10Pat McAfee:And how happy are you that you, the style of player you are, are in this particular offense?

11:14Christian McCaffrey:Yeah, I think, you know, you hit it on the spot. I always have so much gratitude when I walk in the building just because of the staff that we have, because of the players I get to play with. And, yeah, man, it feels like a perfect fit. You know, just for, you know, being a football player, being somebody that loves the game, loves to learn, it feels so fun. You know, I mean, it's, you know, he can line you up anywhere. And you're playing with guys like, you know, like Juwan Jennings, like George Kittle, like Kyle Juszczyk. You got a great quarterback, Trent Williams. You know, legends of the game that you get to go out there and practice and in games and have fun.

11:48Christian McCaffrey:And so, yeah, I feel very fortunate to be there.

11:50Pat McAfee:You're so explosive still. You're getting old or what's happening? How is this working? Because remember, we pretty big talkers about how, like, you don't have the – kind of Alex Honolty, okay?

12:02Rob Woodson:Okay. Kind of. Sure.

12:03Pat McAfee:Kind of Alex Honolty where –

12:05Rob Woodson:Thank you.

12:05Pat McAfee:You are – yeah, no problem. Yeah, you're welcome. Now, Grant, I don't think you're dangling from the building. But I will say, you explode through contact, it feels like. For somebody who is as fast and, you know, catches, runs, everything like that, you were looking for contact and exploding all the time. You're training. Are you always, like, year-round? Like, how have you been able to maintain the explosiveness, I think, as you continue to get older? No offense, no offense.

12:31Christian McCaffrey:None taken. No, I think, you know, I mean, I always say building the foundation to kind of withstand the storm starts really when the Super Bowl ends. and you start to train again and you start to get in that shape. And so as an individual player, there's a lot of people that have something to do with somebody's success. And so I have a great team of trainers, great team of bodywork guys, and I have teammates that are constantly inspiring me. Again, you talk about all those guys I just mentioned. They're selflessly playing football. They're selling out for you. They're blocking for you. They're running clear routes so that you can get open.

13:09Christian McCaffrey:And so when it's your time to do that or when you do have the ball in your hands, you owe it to them to sell out.

13:15Rob Woodson:You're a weapon, dude.

13:17Pat McAfee:Can you obviously your dad, pro? I think we've - Grandpappy. Yeah, great uncle. Isn't it like your entire family tree is basically, I don't wanna say you were kind of created to be this machine. You were. But you kind of were, right? Isn't that kind of a conversation in this entire thing?

13:33Christian McCaffrey:Say it again?

13:34Pat McAfee:Your genes are fucking the most athletic.

13:36Christian McCaffrey:I'm really thankful for the genetics. Yeah, it's a huge blessing. It helps.

13:42Pat McAfee:Have you and Cooper DeGene looked at each other and just tried to figure it out?

13:45Christian McCaffrey:We just eye each other. Just give him the look.

13:50Rob Woodson:Ah, yes.

13:51Christian McCaffrey:Spider-Man.

13:52James Winston:Spider-Man.

13:54Rob Woodson:AJ has a question for you.

13:55James Winston:Speaking of that, you mentioned Juszczyk. Obviously how awesome this guy is. We see him moving around pre-snap, all the stuff he can do. I guess what does he do for you? How do you enjoy being on the field with him? We see the videos, you guys in like the cold tubs and hot tubs, having a good time. Obviously, relationship is great. But on the field, what does he do for you?

14:12Christian McCaffrey:Yeah, I think, again, you know, people talk about my versatility a lot. And I definitely think it's one of my biggest strengths. But I think it's a big strength because of the versatility of the other players. And that's that's that's juiced, you know, to a T. You know, he can block anybody on the field. He can block any scheme, you know, blocking somebody is one thing. But doing it within the scheme and doing it the way the play is coached is a whole other thing. So his knowledge of football and understanding where to be and when to be there, hat placement, driving your feet, he makes it really easy on a runner.

14:43Christian McCaffrey:That's something that's not a little thing at all. I mean, it's huge. It's what makes the play go. But then you see him catching, you know, double moves. You see him running clear routes. You see him catching the flat and getting 20 yards, running wheels, whatever it is. You know, he's a complete football player, which is why, you know, he's been to 700 Pro Bowls. You know, he really is the definition of a ball player and somebody that does it the right way who's extremely selfless, who will stick his face in there for anybody on his team. And, you know, just, again, I don't ever take for granted being able to play with guys like that.

15:13Pat McAfee:Isn't that something, too, like with the Harvard brain? We used to say it's about Fitzmagic. Like, Fitzmagic has a Harvard brain, and he was willing just to throw it directly into absolutely anything. It's like those are precious things. Harvard brains are like precious commodities, and Fitzmagic's like, yeah, sweet, watch me run this thing. into some of it. And then you shake a fullback in the NFL. You know, it's a fascinating dynamic with, like, the tough positions, but how smart you have to be to be, like, excellent. He's first ballot Hall of Famer. It would have to be.

15:40Brock Purdy:No question. Well, I mean, there's no way.

15:43Rob Woodson:They're not letting a fullback in on the first ballot, I don't think. He should be. I hope so. Benoit Terry should have been first ballot, but he was a kicker. Is this what you're saying? He's the all-time.

15:53Pat McAfee:You should have done everything. He's a fullback, tight end. You should check everything. everything. He's probably saying that in those negotiations, too. He should. Yeah, and Lynch is like, no, you're a fullback, bud.

16:03Rob Woodson:No, no, I'm a tight end. I catch the ball. Yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. You're a fullback back here. That's certainly what it is. D-Bot has a question for you, Christian.

16:09AQ Shipley:That's a nightmare game playing forward with all you guys, but versatility-wise, I grew up watching Marshall Falk, and that's who you remind me of, and now the young guys. You're an OG now in the league. I'm sure a lot of young guys reach out. How has that been, I guess, having conversations with those young guys, like a Bajon or a Jameer Gibbs or these guys who are dynamic not only getting the ball in the backfield, but also out in space.

16:30Christian McCaffrey:No, it's huge, man. I look at a guy like Marshall Falk, a guy like Roger Craig. They're kind of pioneers of the way that how I play the position and being able to move all over the place and kind of taking pride. And when you're lining up in the slot, not just being a running back running routes, but becoming a receiver, being able to move the same way, run any route on the route tree. And so it's really cool, and especially I got to train with Bijan this summer. and just watching him and being able to pass along knowledge and take a bunch of stuff from him too is really cool. I think running backs, you've got the tight end you and you've got a bunch of the O-lines that are starting to do stuff, quarterbacks, all these guys.

17:08Christian McCaffrey:We've never really had anything, but I feel like that's starting to change. And guys are starting to get together and train together and do all these things because the way the position is trending, you see guys all over the league now that are special players who can do anything. So it's definitely cool to see how the game is continuing to evolve. And then there's so many special players who are doing it. We were just at the Pro Bowl. And Bijan and Jameer both were just, you know, for me, as an old, you know. Old, yeah.

17:37James Winston:Old, yeah.

17:38Christian McCaffrey:Don't say it. Don't say it. As I get later in my mind. There you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it really is special to see, man. And just fortunate to be around guys like that.

17:48Pat McAfee:Yeah, but everybody's trying to do what you get. Like, hey, who are we hiring? We want a Shanahan offense with like a – that's what the NFL is kind of trying to become everywhere, what you guys are kind of laying down. So I assume all these young guys look up to your old ass as well. I think that is probably something. All right, last question. Just ass.

18:05Christian McCaffrey:Just ass, not old.

18:07Pat McAfee:Do you think you do have one of the largest asses in the NFL? Have you seen Cal Raleigh, this guy, Big Dumper? He's got a shit can on him. Unbelievable. It's usually the explosiveness that you kind of find. I'll have to check that out.

18:19Christian McCaffrey:I'll have to check that out. Something to think about. Yeah, definitely. Something to look at.

18:22Pat McAfee:Yeah, if you just get time, just as we're surveying the field.

18:25Christian McCaffrey:Yeah, I'll check it out for sure. I appreciate that.

18:28Pat McAfee:Yeah, no problem. Next year, we get a chance to chat with you. We'll try to get an answer for that one. Maybe a little homework assignment. Go ahead, Tone. Last question.

18:33AJ Hawk:Yeah, we're a football sports show first, but secondary health and wellness show. And I think I saw something where at night, so we're trying to learn here. You're turning off your Wi-Fi at night. Here we go. No, you know, we're not living next week. What do you mean, here we go?

18:47Rob Woodson:I'm trying to be like you. You look fantastic.

18:50Christian McCaffrey:I said that yesterday. You look great. And what did I tell you? You said you got a lot of medicine running through you. Yes, I do.

18:55Rob Woodson:So now, do I need to have no Wi-Fi running through me?

18:58Christian McCaffrey:Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. No, I don't know where I got this. I probably did that once or twice because I read it on Instagram, which is where you need to get your information. Yes, memes. Instagram reels is the new medical science. So for me, I saw it on a reel, figured this is genius, and tried it. And it worked. I don't know. Who knows? I don't know if it worked or not. Listen, for real, I'll do anything to get, you know, a 0.1 % better any day. And if someone's going to tell me, hey, turn your Wi-Fi on, I'm like, hey, that can't hurt. Maybe it'll work. So let's try it.

19:34Rob Woodson:You're going to turn the Wi-Fi off, huh?

19:36Christian McCaffrey:I've dabbled. I've dabbled in turning the Wi-Fi off.

19:38AQ Shipley:I mean, unfortunately.

19:40Christian McCaffrey:Yeah, you're going to turn the substation off or what? It doesn't matter.

19:42Rob Woodson:Oh, that plug? I don't like that this has to come up in every conversation. It's real. It does have to. It has to. It's on the internet. It's crazy.

19:49Brock Purdy:I mean, Achilles tendonitis. There's a chance like that. I know, but it came out of nowhere. And then you think about the substation. It's like, well, hold on now. You're sleeping without Wi-Fi on. Don't act like we're crazy.

20:01Christian McCaffrey:You guys are nuts. No, look, honestly, in football, there's too many variables to say that, like, one thing causes injuries. I don't believe that that's true. A guy like Fred Warner who, you know, has been – he trains there every day in the offseason. He's been healthy the whole time. He got rolled up on bad and broke his leg. It's not his – you know, that's football. Well, we don't know. Now, that's why to say one thing, to say it's, oh, you did this wrong or this. There's so much that has to go right. And I know that you can do everything right in an offseason and train at the perfect spot and train perfectly.

20:32Christian McCaffrey:And then you play football and you show up, and in the first quarter of the first game, some bad stuff happens. That's ball, man. It has been for the test of time. We got injury plagued this year, which was tough. You hate to see your boys go down like that. But sometimes that's just the way it goes.

20:47Thor Bjornsson:but you wouldn't be opposed to shutting the substation

20:50Pat McAfee:yeah what if they said you know what this is actually a wi-fi station now yeah let's move it

20:54Christian McCaffrey:what would you say i mean like hawaii like if you trained in like you know the caribbean next to a beach you have the full thing that'd be fantastic but that's not you know any team would want that you know but what you know look again i'm not a scientist and i'm not i'm not a doctor

21:13Pat McAfee:I dropped out of Stanford.

21:16Christian McCaffrey:It doesn't count.

21:17Pat McAfee:Yeah, but I think a lot of people drop into classes at Stanford.

21:19Christian McCaffrey:Me, Zuckerberg, the Snapchat founder, we all dropped out, guys like us. We all dropped out. MySpace guy. Yeah, mySpace guy.

21:27Pat McAfee:I think Albert Einstein College dropped out as well.

21:29Christian McCaffrey:Yeah, all of us. Me too.

21:31Pat McAfee:I didn't make it.

21:31Christian McCaffrey:Yeah, no way.

21:33Pat McAfee:When can I get out of here? Yeah, I'm going to. Yeah, you did the same.

21:36Christian McCaffrey:Did the same. Yeah, I figured life.

21:38Pat McAfee:Yeah, family reunions and stuff. if you looked around and you're like, yeah, I'm not supposed to do school. I'm just sports. Exactly. That's what I'm supposed to do.

21:44Christian McCaffrey:Exactly.

21:44Pat McAfee:Well, I wanna know if you, can you shoot?

21:46Christian McCaffrey:Yeah, I can shoot a little bit.

21:49Pat McAfee:Okay, did you play in high school?

21:50Christian McCaffrey:Played in high school.

21:50Pat McAfee:How were you, pretty good? Were you flying around?

21:52Christian McCaffrey:Yeah, I was good.

21:54Pat McAfee:Are we - Cooper DeGene?

21:55Christian McCaffrey:Yeah, I was dunking.

21:57Pat McAfee:Yeah, cuz we're talking about Cooper DeGene earlier, you two kind of Spider-Man me and each other. Is that the kind of shit? Is that what we're talking about?

22:02Christian McCaffrey:Yeah.

22:03Pat McAfee:Man, I think we do need you guys at some point to maybe get in a room. Ping pong, I think - Dangerous tandem. It would be a dangerous tandem. My God, it would be. Yeah. Especially with the conversation that was happening about a year ago. I think we'd have good reps. Yeah. I think we would have good reps.

22:17Christian McCaffrey:You'd have a lot of smart, tough, quicker than fast. Bingo. Coaches on the field. Yeah. Lunch pail. Locker room guys.

22:26Pat McAfee:But also now we got a couple guys that can lock down in the back end. That's what I mean. I expect that. Got guys doing a lot of this in high school.

22:33Rob Woodson:Good luck. Whoa. Whoa.

22:37Pat McAfee:Showcase is not a competition, it's a showcase. It's always match up. All right, we're gonna find out right now. Okay, this is called the Charity Super Shot. Yesterday, over$70 ,000 was donated and made shots from this area. Now, granted, there's been people that have taken advantage of the lack of rules that we have. You can certainly do that, and I think you will do that because of how competitive you are as a human being, especially if you're turning off Wi-Fi at night because you ran something. $85 ,000 raised yesterday. Okay, you have three attempts at this hoop right here, Christian.

23:03Christian McCaffrey:Okay.

23:04Pat McAfee:If you make it on the first try, which will be tough, State Fair ball.

23:07Christian McCaffrey:Seated? Let me see this ball.

23:08Pat McAfee:Yeah, yeah, you can get a feel for it. You can get a feel for it.

23:10Christian McCaffrey:That's not an easy ball. No, it's not. It's not.

23:14Pat McAfee:Jamar Chase, only person to make it on the first shot. If you make it on the first shot. He was seated? Yeah, he was actually. He was actually. I think he was seated.

23:22Brock Purdy:T Higgins was standing. I think Jamar was standing. I think he might be better.

23:27Christian McCaffrey:We got a ball replay.

23:29Rob Woodson:There's Bryce, yeah. Bryce stood.

23:31Christian McCaffrey:You get a little more arc seated though, no? Yeah, cuz you got lights to deal with.

23:35Pat McAfee:Here's your, yeah.

23:36Christian McCaffrey:Bang.

23:37Pat McAfee:Yeah, it was not his first try, yeah. Yeah, it was not his first try. So you can beat him here if you want, for a real white. Hold on. Hold on, watch. What are you doing? All right, okay. Got to show. All right, here we go. Christian, first shot,$20 ,000 to a charity if you're choosing.

23:51Rob Woodson:Charity Super Shot here in San Francisco. That was good.

23:58Christian McCaffrey:I thought that was money. Very nice. You gotta stay seated.

24:03Pat McAfee:Same exact, now hold on one second. That was your first shot? Yeah. Let's go to your teammate Fred Warner's first shot yesterday.

24:09Brock Purdy:Go ahead. That was a good one.

24:11James Winston:This was.

24:12Christian McCaffrey:Yeah, that's, that doesn't show. That was worst of all time.

24:18Rob Woodson:Maybe worst of all time. Fred, we love you, but only one. Why does that not shock you? Yeah, what's that all about?

24:23Christian McCaffrey:Linebackers aren't hoopers. Yeah, right. I don't know. Never been hoopers. AJ takes a lot of pride. Unfortunately, they take charges. Five fouls in the first quarter.

24:31Brock Purdy:10 ,000. That's a good shot. We've only had one bank. Is it Jamar? Nice, tough ball to bank. Well, it's coming from Jamar Chase right now. 10 ,000.

24:43AQ Shipley:Man.

24:43Christian McCaffrey:That thing took a turn in the air. FedEx will - Deliver it. Hit that third one. Yes, they will. Yeah. Yes, they will. Shout out to FedEx, shout out to you, brother.

24:52Rob Woodson:Appreciate you guys, thanks for having me on. This is a good workout for you.

24:56Christian McCaffrey:Good deal, you're the man. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate you guys. Thank you.

24:59Pat McAfee:You got speeches prepared, yeah? Speeches prepared? What about multiple?

25:08Brock Purdy:Hey, let's go, let's have multiple. Same one for all. We need multiple.

25:13Rob Woodson:Thank you. Let's have Christian McCaffrey. Hey, Christian.

25:16James Winston:Look, brother, appreciate it.

25:17Rob Woodson:Don't worry, don't worry. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.

25:21James Winston:Don't worry about it. Good luck out there.

25:25Brock Purdy:All right, brother. Guy wasn't even close on that show. I don't know if anyone's gonna make one. That first one was nice. What do you mean? Matt Ryan, a Mac can play.

25:32Rob Woodson:Balls are different today than they were. I think - What? Is that why I beat D-Bud? They are now over inflated.

25:38Thor Bjornsson:Yeah, and they're kind of greased up too.

25:40Rob Woodson:Yeah, I think it's gonna be - Today might be kind of a tough shooter day as well.

25:45Pat McAfee:Christian McCaffrey doesn't love that Cooper G made that.

25:47James Winston:No, he doesn't. Matt Ryan's a sneaky athlete. No lie, he's gonna make one.

25:51Pat McAfee:Joining us right now, ladies and gentlemen, a man who has won awards in the NFL in the past. He's now the president of football for the Atlanta Falcons,

26:01Rob Woodson:ladies and gentlemen, Matt Reyes. Yeah, everybody. We appreciate you, Matt.

26:09Pat McAfee:Thank you for coming, dude. So tall. So tall. So fit. So fit.

26:15Rob Woodson:Boys, good to see you, good to see you, boys. You, dude. No, no, no, no.

26:25Pat McAfee:We're joking. That's president of football. That's right. That's president of football.

26:29Rob Woodson:That's the title right there, president of football.

26:30Pat McAfee:President of football, Matt Ryan, right there. Matt, hi. Double mic. That's a legend. How you doing, brother? I'm doing good. Hold on. Let me get that wire off the mic. Hold on.

26:39Brock Purdy:McCaffrey screwed it up. There we go. Yeah. Mary Christian's a real.

26:42Pat McAfee:It's better. Hey, congratulations, dude. Thank you. President of football. How about it? Big time. How about it? Honestly, you were great on TV, too. So I thought you were great on TV. You probably could have done that for the next 20 years if you wanted to. I appreciate the fact you want to get back in the bowl. Is that the feeling or why did you kind of do it?

26:58Rob Riggle:Yeah. No, I was having a blast doing TV and, you know, called games the first year, which was a ton of fun, and then doing the NFL today and had a blast doing that. But for me, it was like a one-of-one opportunity. So I live, stayed in Atlanta, live in Atlanta, and, you know, was a part of that organization for a long time. And, you know, this opportunity came up and it was like, I think I got to go for it, you know. and go do it and to get back in it, be back in the building every day, be a part of it. Like, there is something, too, and you guys all know it. Like, you guys got this great thing going on, and you're all together.

27:33Rob Riggle:Thank you, Mr.

27:34Pat McAfee:President.

27:34Rob Riggle:Yes, you're welcome. Where you're part of the team, and, like, there's good vibes and all of that. But there's something like being in the building where there's results and it's black and white and you're going for it that is special. So I'm excited to be back a part of it and trying to do the best I can.

27:52Pat McAfee:They cleaned it out, right? Then there's a major realignment or a shift to everything, right, whenever you kind of get back in there. So obviously you've known the building for a long time. You still live in there. Obviously you've been around. You got rid of a lot of people, right? It wasn't just like a massive shift right down there for the Falcons. And whenever you get the gig, what are you kind of expecting to do? Because obviously you make the hire, a couple massive hires. Congratulations. Not easy to make those decisions, I don't think, but we will certainly talk about them here in a second.

28:17Pat McAfee:But is that what you're kind of tasked with doing? Like, hey, congratulations, welcome. everything's brand new do what you think is the right decision like how does that how does that kind of go doesn't that feel kind of daunting for never doing it before or how how does that

28:29Rob Riggle:kind of come together yeah so I got hired on Friday night I show up to the facility on uh Saturday morning and did my HR training hiring training and then I was on a head coaching interview like 15 minutes after after I was done the training and obviously I've never done that So you're on this and you're like, OK, you know, this is interesting to see how it's going. But you dive into what you know. You know what I mean? And when you've been around it for a long time, you start, you know, getting into the conversation and you're talking about football and what your plans are, what you know, what you think about offensive football, what you think about defensive football, different coaches that, you know, they look at.

29:10Rob Riggle:So you get into what you know pretty quickly. But it was, you know, it is a little daunting. You dive into it and you're interviewing, you know, different people right off the bat. But at the end of the day, you sit there and you go back to what you know, try and keep it simple and not overcomplicate it, right? Is this person who I think he is? Does the reference work that we've done on them add up to what I'm seeing in these interviews? And do I think this is the right person for us moving forward? And moving football. Yeah, moving the ball, moving forward.

29:42Pat McAfee:Which is what we hired on the offensive side. So let's talk about that. At Stefanski, I was very, I'll say surprised that Stefanski got a job as quickly as he did after the Cleveland. Just like, I thought Harbaugh, I thought he was going to get hired. Tomlin, I think if he wanted to, was going to get hired. McDermott. McDermott, if he wanted to, I thought he'd be able to get hired. Like, there was a lot of major coaching shift, I think, that just kind of happened. Stefanski getting hired that quick was, for me, I did not expect it. Then we have Joe Flacco on yesterday. and Joe Flacco, who's obviously been around the NFL a very long time, had a lot of success, he starts rattling off all these compliments about Stefanski.

30:18Pat McAfee:Yeah. What did you kind of experience with him, and how did you compartmentalize, like, Cleveland? It's hard. Yeah, legit.

30:23Rob Riggle:It's hard, right, because you think about, like, track record of success. How do you weight track record of success and what they've done? And I think you look at, you know, the first couple of years of what they did in Cleveland, and you say, okay, I like a lot of what they did. But I also think scars are not necessarily the worst thing. You learn a lot from some of those things that you go through in life, and then you bounce back and you're better off when you get the next opportunity because of the mistakes that you made. And we felt like for the things we were looking for from our head coach, the ability to communicate, the ability to be direct and hold people accountable, the ability to put together a good staff.

31:01Rob Riggle:I think that's one of the hardest things for coaches when they come in. And, you know, you hire this head coach and you expect them to just be able to, you know, put 25 other good coaches around them. And it's difficult to do. I think, you know, some of what we had in Atlanta with Jeff Ulbrich on the defensive side and some of the defensive pieces that we had and Kevin thinking that, you know, that was a good structure that could support him in kind of a different way. And then some of the things he wanted to do offensively. And then really, I talked to Joe. I talked to Joe about, you know, Kevin, you know, leading up to the process.

31:31Rob Riggle:Oh, Flacco? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, but Joe Flacco. As you should, by the way, talk to Flacco.

31:37Rob Woodson:Vice president of football. Why would you not talk to Flacco?

31:39Rob Riggle:That's right. Joe's got a wealth of knowledge. He's been around. But that was part of the process of going and talking to a lot of people that touched past with him in Minnesota, some in Cleveland, different coaches that had coached for him, different players who had played for him. We felt like at the end of the day he was the right person for us and what he brings and how he wants to build it and what he believes in. So we're excited about it.

32:06Pat McAfee:All right, last question from me. We thank you for your time, obviously, Mr. President, and the Bullies will certainly have their questions afterwards. Ian Cunningham becomes your general manager. You were roommates with Ryan Poles. Ryan Poles knew this guy, told you, hey, this is a good guy. Good guy. You interview Guy, Guy's GM of the Falcons. Is that how this comes in? That's how everybody's piecing it together. How do you land on Ian, and what are you expecting?

32:28Rob Riggle:Yeah, I mean, obviously, a really strong recommendation from, you know, my college roommate, Ryan Poles. But, like, just because he worked for my college roommate doesn't mean you can hire the guy to be the general manager. No, you could. I don't know about that. You could. I guess you could. But, no, we went through, you know, a bunch of different, you know, candidates at the GM spot. And I just feel like Ian's the right one because of his experience. You know, time spent in Baltimore, started, worked his way up in Baltimore, leaves, goes to Philly, time spent around Howie, and they do it a different way in Philadelphia.

33:05Rob Riggle:And then really being a part of a rebuild in Chicago and, you know, kind of what they did at the beginning of changing so many pieces out, being aggressive, but building it up the right way and they get the right head coach. And next thing you know, they're in the playoffs and they're playing good football. So I think the different experiences that he had and the stops along the way makes him ready for it. and we're ready. Hey, Jacksonville Jaguars

33:28Pat McAfee:just went on a run. Chicago Bears just went on a run. The New England Patriots are back in the Super Bowl. Anything can happen in one year and your fans expect it. Yeah, yeah, man. Good luck.

33:38James Winston:AJ has a question for you. Yeah, my little two-parter. So if you figured out what your schedule is going to be like going through the combine, the draft, and all of that, I'd imagine what a different world for you all of a sudden now jumping in full-time in the front office. And also when you're talking about hiring a head coach, what makes a good head coach? Is there one or two things that every great head coach

33:55Rob Riggle:has well i think about the good head coaches i was around right and its ability to to communicate and lay out the vision clearly like when you know when you sit in that in in that meeting room and and they lay out hey man here's what we're going to do here's what i believe in here's what we're going to do and here's how we're going to do it but there's different styles like when you guys you know you've been around different coaches like there's different ways to get that stuff across but it needs to it needs to be clearly communicated and then you know number two it's it's like But situational football has become so important.

34:27Rob Riggle:It always was, but it has become. Yeah.

34:30Pat McAfee:Got a lot more information now, too.

34:31Rob Riggle:A lot more information. How do we apply that information? What your process is through using that information? What do you believe in from that standpoint? Those, I think you got to get those right. Are we kicking field goals or not?

34:42AJ Hawk:Yeah.

34:42Rob Riggle:I like points. Points are good. I do like points. Good for the enterprise of football. Yeah, I don't know much, but I do think points are good.

34:51Rob Woodson:D-Bot has a question.

34:52AQ Shipley:Actually, tones are better than today. I know you don't bet at all, but bet of the day was under seven and a half points first quarter. What is it about the beginning of, like, the Super Bowl? Getting ready for this week from a quarterback, play caller standpoint. Is it nerves? What's different when you hit that stage, that kickoff happens, and then you're out there the first drive?

35:10Rob Riggle:It does. At least for me, it does feel different, you know, that, like, first drive where you're out there trying to settle in and just get going. I feel like taking a hit or just getting something out of your system, like a hit or being able to move and run or something and get a completion, was at least helpful for me to sort of calm down. But I don't know, man. I think it's all that buildup. When you're out there and the warm-ups feel different, you've got this longer break before, it's just you're out of your kind of normal rhythm. And it just takes a little bit of time to get into it.

35:45AQ Shipley:When are you usually comfortable with the plan? I guess is it Friday? Is it kind of you feel like the haze in the barn? Are you working up all the way up to that Saturday walkthrough? Or like at what point for you, I guess, going to the most games or the big games where you're like very comfortable with the play?

35:58Rob Riggle:Usually, I don't know. I don't know how it was for you guys. Sometimes Saturday morning walkthroughs could create more anxiety than they solved problems. You'd go out there and you'd have somebody screw something up. And the next thing you know, coaches would yell. And then you're like, oh.

36:10Rob Woodson:Throw it out. Throw it out.

36:12Rob Riggle:Our plan is not good. I felt good about it Friday when I left. you know the red zone practice we hit everything that was in front of us then we did the saturday walkthrough and it was no good so i think it depended on the week but like a good crisp saturday morning walkthrough where there's like no you know nobody's yelling it's it's just you're executing you just people are on top of it i feel like that's usually a good sign i had an opportunity

36:36Pat McAfee:to watch you know the peyton led saturdays and fridays even you know for the first couple years of my football life in the nfl and then there's a little bit of a turnover now we got a little bit of a younger team and I had no idea that what was happening in those Peyton ones is just probably not like a normal yeah that's probably not like how it normally is ball never touching ground we're skipping through there's no read there's no nothing and then you get into one where it is like ball on ground are we throwing are we not throwing throw that out guys run into each other and then it's crazy what your perspective is as quarterback and that whole thing yeah and then mine on the sideline because I just had a good waffle in there you know But Saturday, I'm going, throw it out.

37:15Rob Woodson:That's how it has my contribution to the Italian.

37:17Rob Riggle:I remember a couple of times, you know, and like Saturday morning, you're usually going through the openers. So it's like the coach has like prepped you up in that meeting beforehand of what we're running in the openers. We've all seen the script. And then you get people and we can't get lined up. And you're like, what have we been doing? You start losing it. People start yelling at each other. So we're trying to avoid that. That's what I'm saying. That's what's present. That's what's present for.

37:45AQ Shipley:For people that don't know, Saturday walkthrough is like a mock game. So all your substitution, hey, nickel, green, time group, 12, 11, kickoff, punt. So you're just making sure everybody subs, everybody's on point. And then it should be perfect. It should be perfect. If it's not perfect, we got some issues.

38:01Rob Riggle:You're a special teams guy. Like what is worse when we just can't get substitutions right on special teams and you're on kickoff. Yeah, that's a nightmare.

38:09Pat McAfee:What are we doing? Yeah, it doesn't look professional. And that won't be in your outfit. We understand that. Ty has a question for you.

38:16Thor Bjornsson:Yeah, a lot of talk this offseason around you guys has been, hey, is Michael Penick going to be healthy next year? You know, he obviously got hurt late, and then Kirk's going to be gone. How comfortable do you feel with the quarterback room right now? And do you think naturally you'll kind of drift and be around those guys a lot? Or is that something you're trying not to, hey, I don't want to just spend all my time with the quarterback?

38:35Rob Woodson:Yeah, and what is your role? Your day-to-day.

38:38Thor Bjornsson:Your day-to-day.

38:39Rob Riggle:Day-to-day, yeah. Well, no, I don't think – it's not like, hey, man, I'm going down there and I'm just going to sit in the quarterback room and chop it up with these guys all day every day. Certainly there if they need some help or something like that to, you know, like provide any advice that I can on routine or just, you know, whatever we're doing. But right now, you know, I see Mike. He's in our facility right now doing his rehab. He's doing a great job. We're excited about where he's at and just needs to, you know, stay after that. I think my day-to-day, you know, like next Monday I'm going into draft meetings, and it'll be the first time I've ever sat in draft meetings.

39:14Rob Riggle:And so –

39:15Pat McAfee:Oh, you're at the head of the table?

39:16Rob Riggle:No, I'm on the side, man. Ian is our GM. So when we're running – The president.

39:20Pat McAfee:I don't know if you know how that works. Corporate structure, you're in it now? Yeah. The president is there, and then there's a manager, you know, that kind of manages what's present. Maybe even like a lifted state. For sure. Not a bad idea. And maybe it wheels in and out like the booger mobile for Monday Night Football.

39:38Rob Woodson:Maybe that didn't push you. Yeah, it rolls around, like meeting room to meeting room, and you're kind of on an elevated stage. Yeah, I think. The ice stage. I'll think about that. You fucking rolling in. The president's here. I got to talk to our operations guys at that.

39:54Rob Riggle:I don't know if we can get that done at the facility. By Monday? By Monday for the meeting Monday, we can do it?

40:00Rob Woodson:Don't let them know that it's coming. You drop it in there.

40:03AQ Shipley:Just throw it on.

40:04Rob Woodson:One chance of the first impression.

40:07AQ Shipley:What's that? I said only one chance at the first impression.

40:09Rob Riggle:First draft, boom.

40:10Pat McAfee:You think you'll be meandering is how you think day-to-day goes for you?

40:15Rob Riggle:I think so at different times of the year, right, of where we're at. I think for the first – listen, for the first three months, I mean, we're talking about we've got combine, we've got free agency, we've got draft, and then we start, you know, with the new off-season program, new coach. So, I mean, there's a lot that we have to do in a lot of different areas to kind of evaluate and take a look at how we're doing things.

40:38Pat McAfee:Do you have a dry erase board in the office?

40:40Rob Riggle:I got a little whiteboard in there, a little dry erase.

40:42Pat McAfee:They can do the whole wall if you want, but it never gets used.

40:45Rob Riggle:How do they write on the bottom? This is what I've always like. How do you get down?

40:50James Winston:Especially those old coaches that can't bend. Exactly.

40:52Rob Riggle:You got Bill Callahan coaching off. He's not going to be writing on the bottom.

40:57James Winston:Yeah, but if he wanted to, he should be allowed. But he could. Sink the chair all the way down. Yeah. Like he's changing oil in a car. Exactly. Sitting in one of those things.

41:04Rob Riggle:Yeah. I do like whiteboards, though. It's a great bus. You put music on while you're trying to figure it out?

41:09Pat McAfee:What do you do? What's the mood in the office here now you're president of football?

41:13Rob Riggle:My office is actually getting – they're redoing it right now.

41:16Pat McAfee:Big desks, small desks.

41:18James Winston:You demanded them to redo it.

41:20Pat McAfee:Freezing cold.

41:21Rob Riggle:Open door. That and that booger mobile that we were talking about. Those are the two. GM pushes you.

41:25Pat McAfee:Yeah, I think the booger mobile certainly has its own parking spot outside. Are you a conference call? What do you have? Do you have big tape? Honestly, like what are you doing? Is it going to be like war room setup? Is it office setup? Is it quarterback room setup? Like, what are you doing for a setup in there? You're president of football. This feels like a pretty big. You're going to have meetings in there.

41:41Brock Purdy:Massive desk. Need a big desk. Mahogany wood or granite.

41:46Rob Riggle:Like, just a lot of space between the desk and wherever the person is sitting.

41:50Pat McAfee:And once again, remember, you're elevated because we're looking down. They're looking up. Yeah.

41:55Rob Riggle:I don't think it's going to be anything like that, to be honest.

41:59Pat McAfee:It's going to look a lot different. We are pumped that former players getting a role like this. We are excited to see what you do in Atlanta. Good luck with everything. Thank you. On your way out here, I know you're spending way too much time with us. Are you ready? I'm ready. What am I sure? You're a hooper, right? I used to play, yeah.

42:13Rob Woodson:You're also a golfer. I think you're good at, like, everything, right? Absolutely. Sneaky athlete, right? Very thin. Are you Pelotoning? What are you doing?

42:21Rob Riggle:No, I have not been. I haven't been doing shit the last month. That must be nice. I've been just a lot of interviews.

42:27Pat McAfee:So this is what you are naturally? Like, this is the party?

42:29Rob Riggle:Soft, yeah, skinny and soft around the edges.

42:32Pat McAfee:No, but you're not. There's no way I'd be wearing that tight of a light-colored sweater. Yeah, look like Special Forces. Yeah. Good luck out there, Matt. Thank you. Matt Ryan, all you'll have to do is make this State Fair basketball.

42:44Rob Riggle:Where are we shooting from? Right here?

42:45Pat McAfee:Right here in this area, however you would like to do it. Obviously, there's lights ahead. If you make it on your first attempt, we will donate$20 ,000 to a charity of your choosing. Now, second and third attempts, only$10 ,000. If you don't make it.

42:57Rob Riggle:Do I donate if I don't make it? I donate to yours. Yeah. Thank you, Mr. President. The President.

43:03Rob Woodson:That's President of football. Yeah, yeah, nobody else has said that. But yeah, you definitely do. That's very nice of you. Okay.

43:10Daniel Lurie:No.

43:10Rob Woodson:Okay, guys. All right, here we go. Hey, he has been a suit here for a little bit. 10 ,000. I didn't see that. Look up, Matt.

43:19Brock Purdy:Look up. That counts. That came out of nowhere.

43:23Rob Riggle:Look around. I get one more, right? Three. You do, you do. You might get two more. Two. Come on.

43:29James Winston:I didn't see that yesterday. Where's the awareness?

43:31Rob Woodson:I don't know, but also I think that thing's potentially leaving the set with how high you shot that.

43:36AQ Shipley:Yeah, good art. But it hit that thing pretty good.

43:38Pat McAfee:It hit that thing pretty good.

43:40AQ Shipley:Six six. Tucked it up with good fundamentals. Great fundamentals. Yeah, I saw beef.

43:46Thor Bjornsson:Yeah. So do you think - Balance, eyes, elbow, follow through.

43:50Rob Riggle:Boom. I have coached seven year old basketball right now. All the time. All the time. You need to make this for the seven year olds are gonna be judging. Credibility. Okay, so - They don't listen to me anyhow. That one will not count. Okay. Okay, I get two more? Yes. Okay, all right, here we go.

44:05Rob Woodson:10 ,000. See, see, this guy, this guy is - He's looking consistent.

44:12James Winston:He's looking good.

44:13Rob Woodson:It's 10 ,000. He's too damn tall. He is too tall. He's too damn tall.

44:18Brock Purdy:His head's gonna hit the light. Yeah. Goodness gracious ice. Matty Ice.

44:36Pat McAfee:I don't know if anybody's gonna make it with this ball. That ball's too light. Too light, but also yesterday they were kind of flat. So then they pumped them up. We got them pumped up.

44:44Rob Woodson:He's a superhero back there.

44:45Pat McAfee:The refs came in.

44:47Rob Woodson:Yes. Yeah, exactly. It was the inflation level. Yeah, over inflated.

44:51Rob Riggle:Gotcha.

44:52Pat McAfee:All right, is that? Yeah. Okay, hey, you gotta go. Thank you. Thank you, Pat. Thanks, gentlemen. President of football, Matt Ryan. Yay! President. Mr. President.

45:03Rob Woodson:He's a spelt lad. Yeah.

45:05Pat McAfee:Mr. President. Seattle Flappy.

45:08Rob Woodson:His name? That's right. What is his name? Seattle Flappy.

45:11AJ Hawk:You know what I like about his gimmick? Seattle Flappy. He's a bird, so he's always doing this with his head. What's that? He's just always looking.

45:19Pat McAfee:20K for my Kicks for Kids program. you pick a charity of your choice for us to deliver brand new shoes to. Okay, Flappy. Come on, let's do it, Seattle Flappy.

45:30Rob Woodson:Flappy is his name, right? Seattle?

45:32AJ Hawk:Yeah.

45:32Thor Bjornsson:See? Hockey. Hockey. Hockey. Blitz! Of course. Yeah, we had it. Blitz! Blitz!

45:40Brock Purdy:Blitz! Blitz! Fuck you, Blitz! You got it right!

45:44Rob Woodson:You got it right! Get moving! It was? Yeah, right? Yes! In what world, Blitz? Staring him down. That's my world. Hand out Hawk is what they're going to be calling you. Hey, Blitz, good to see you. Thank you for stopping by.

45:59AJ Hawk:Be careful. Blitz might carry you over a ravine and drop you. You want to sit back here? Yeah, Blitz. Oh, yeah.

46:06Rob Woodson:Mascot wants to talk. I see. Okay, Blitz. Blitz, are you known to be a good athlete? Yeah, back him up.

46:14Pat McAfee:So people say, you know what? Blitz, the mascot, much like the BYU Cougar who does the – What are kind of your gimmicks?

46:21Rob Woodson:What do you do? Do you fly around a stadium? You throw football. On the goal line. Oh, you shake people. Oh, jeez. Jeez, Connor. There's no reason for that. There's no reason for that. Fuck you. Jeez. That's so unbelievably rude. Oh, Blitz with the tail feather. I like that. The tail feather. I like that. Blitz with the tail feather. That's in your face.

46:44Pat McAfee:Okay, Blitz. People would say you're a good athlete. You should make this. Nobody has made this today. Christian McCaffrey. Matt Ryan did not make it. Blitz for$20 ,000 donation.

46:57Rob Woodson:All you gotta do is put that state fair ball. Come on, Blitz. Hopefully I stay seated. Hopefully I stay seated.

47:05Rob Woodson:That was a good shot. That would be cool. I will say this, hold on though, hold on. Blitz. That's pretty good. If Blitz would have made that. I know. I know. I would have been worried. Yeah, with the Disney, yeah. I would have been worried. And that was like really good form. I would have been worried. The whole thing. Blitz. Blitz. Blitz, blitz, blitz. Blitz, blitz, blitz. Yeah, you got no chance, blitz. Yeah, blitz. That's why you're not an eagle, brother, you can't soar that high. Okay, Seahawks need to look a little above their head, you gotta look at the lights.

47:36James Winston:I think he's looking out of his mouth. Go on, blitz. Blitz for 20 ,000.

47:44Thor Bjornsson:No. Blitz. Blitz, fire your goddamn shot. Yeah, fire your shot. Get your own rebound, Blitz.

47:51Rob Woodson:Blitz flying in from Seattle for the Super. Sorry, Blitz the bitch.

47:59Brock Purdy:Yeah, exactly. I was looking for some easy shot.

48:02Rob Woodson:Thank you, Blitz.

48:03James Winston:Wow. Is he the real Blitz? Good luck, Blitz.

48:08AQ Shipley:Well, it depends if he walks off, no, if he flies off.

48:11Rob Woodson:Blitz, you'll be on sideline this weekend. Are you the real one? Right here, you will be on sideline. this. Everything that is right here will be on the sideline. All right, Blitz. Blitz, you've been Blitz a long time, Blitz? How long Blitz been Blitz? A long time? Okay, yeah.

48:30Pat McAfee:Well, I think there, right?

48:32Brock Purdy:Yeah, at the mouth.

48:33Pat McAfee:I don't think... Okay. All right, Blitz. Good luck out there. Respect. Hey, Blitz. Hey, Blitz. There you go, Blitz. Come on. Let's just put our shorts down. Oh, no. Blitz.

48:44Brock Purdy:Come on. Oh, no.

48:45Rob Woodson:Smart man.

48:46Brock Purdy:Smart man. Smart man. There's no way he was going to shake your hand.

48:49Rob Woodson:Come on. I think he's wearing cutters. Those things are sticky.

48:53Brock Purdy:You know, you don't want to go into a bad. Yeah, exactly. Bitch. He got you. That was good. He got my fist. He did. He did. Is that? Well, I mean, it was good, but sure, you guys can pick a team whose mascot just went 0 for 3. Go ahead. Four, right? Maybe five.

49:09Pat McAfee:Even six.

49:10AJ Hawk:It's a tough shot. Pat the Patriot created basketball.

49:12Brock Purdy:Did you know that? Pat the Patriot. No, Pat the Patriot actually though, funny story. John Naismith? Was in the militia. He was in the 13 Colony militia. He's been alive that long. Yeah, redcoats. Killed a lot of redcoats. Yeah.

49:24Pat McAfee:I believe AQ Shipley's in the back hanging. He's been a great vibe. He's been a great vibe. He went hung out with Sean Lee yesterday, former teammate of his. Now he's super stats analyst. Hey.

49:33Rob Woodson:AQ Shipley used you as a meet and greet. Hey, AQ Shipley. Got a lot of cute face. Thank you Shipley, good to see you here.

49:38Pat McAfee:I'll tell you what, San Francisco has been fascinating strictly because, You know, not only is it a good seat, thank you guys, good seat. Not only is it a host at the Super Bowl, we see a lot of things. These Waymos, I need to talk about these. What's going on here? Nothing good.

49:53Rob Woodson:Are these in Arizona as well? Do you have these? Oh, yeah. Whenever we were out for the Fiesta Bowl, AJ used a Waymo over to my house.

49:59James Winston:30-minute ride to his house.

50:00Pat McAfee:Okay, so these Waymos are these robots, okay, that have no driver, and it's like an Uber. They got these sonar gimmicks basically around the entire thing. We saw one accidentally creep across a sidewalk, red light pop up, put that thing in reverse, and then go ahead and move out of the way or something. It's wild how smart it is. And then you ask, is it batting 1 ,000? I guess it's not. No. I guess it's not. But it is a wild thing. They're everywhere out here. It feels like I'm probably going to Waymo at some point this week, and I genuinely don't know how I feel to be in the future so much.

50:32AJ Hawk:I know AJ is a big Waymo guy and AQ is, but what's it to stop you from just locking you in and just driving off the Golden Gate Bridge?

50:40Rob Woodson:I think we've all seen too many movies. Your car can do that already, though.

50:43AJ Hawk:If they want to get you, they'll get you. That's a good point. I used an EMP on my car, so it disconnected all of those things.

50:50Pat McAfee:Well, I mean, I do think my car actually could just kind of do whatever it wanted to be, I guess, back at home, and I never really thought about that until this moment. Let's move along. Let's move along here. I don't need to be thinking about that. There's a button you can turn off.

51:01AJ Hawk:I'll turn it off.

51:01Pat McAfee:The future is here, though, with these Waymos. We're seeing them everywhere. I cannot wait to enjoy the rest of the city. AQ, it's great that you're here because one of the greatest offensive line coaches of all time, I believe is what a lot of people would say, greatest center of all time, Jason Kelsey, has come out and said, like, this guy basically created me into who I am. Philadelphia lost one of its staples and one of its goats from its coaching staff. Jeff Stotland, offensive line coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, who's obviously highly regarded by everybody that's ever played for him, basically announced via social media post that he's stepping down.

51:28Pat McAfee:Then there was some more information rolling out. Well, they wanted to change the run game last year. He was a run game coordinator. and didn't consult with him. Petulo and Sirianni basically told him this is what it is. He didn't love that that was happening, so maybe he felt a certain way. Some conversations didn't go the way he wanted to go after his season ended. Now he's decided he wants to go somewhere else. Wild scene, especially in a world where everybody talks about being able to put together a good staff with good coaches. This guy would be considered one of the GOATs, I do believe. A.Q.

51:54Pat McAfee:Stotland is Atland in Philadelphia. Why and what does that mean, you think, for somebody else? And who would hire this guy? Anybody would hire Stotland to be your offensive line coach?

52:02Brock Purdy:Everybody would hire him right now, today. If you don't have an offensive line coach, you're going to do everything you can to go get him right now. But when you think about offensive line coaches around the league, it's Jeff Stoutland and it's Chris Firster out in San Francisco. Two different schemes, right? So they bring a new guy in. Yeah, that guy's a stud. We all know. We all know. He's a stud. We all know. He's a great coach. Has to be. Has to be. Has to be. But when you talk about Stoutland, I mean, he's incredible, and he's produced so many all pros. He kept that crew together with Jason Kelsey.

52:36Brock Purdy:When he came in, I don't know if you guys remember that, the Philadelphia Eagles were not that good, and then all of a sudden they go on a run. He's the one who was in charge of that run game to turn Jason Kelsey into Jason Kelsey.

52:46Pat McAfee:And Saquon, obviously, has the year that he has. He has historic years with historic players, and now he doesn't want to be there. And the way the stories are unfolding is like, Sirianni ran out of town. That's what people are saying about this entire thing, which is not good for obviously Sirianni, who's going to get hate regardless. But even more so now with who are they going to replace him with, I guess, is the next question.

53:05Brock Purdy:Maybe Jason Kelsey. I mean, who says no? That would be a pretty cool little story. But even thinking about Jordan Mailata, we knew Eagles fans when Mailata first came into the league who basically wanted to ship him back to Australia. And then Stoutland did turn him into superstar, all-pro, left tackle. Like, it is crazy now. It's more on Sirianni too, right? Like, this could be something that maybe next year when all those kind of fake stories about Sirianni and the Eagles come out, about all the tension that probably isn't real. Now it might, could be, with Stoutland being one of those guys done.

53:36Thor Bjornsson:Yeah, and again, I don't know if this is real, but it did allegedly come out, you know, that he basically said, like, hey, listen, fall in line, old man, or you can get the fuck out of here. Tell him exactly. Yeah, exactly. He said, we got a new guy coming. Sean Manning, you ever heard of him? His hairline starts in the middle of the top of his head. He's a fucking genius play caller, and we ain't going to be running the bullshit.

53:57Pat McAfee:Oh, is that what it is?

53:58Brock Purdy:And you know what Jeff Stoutland said? I don't want to learn Sean Manning's fucking scheme. I'm out. Do you think that's a part of it as normal? Yeah, I love it. He kind of comes from that world. Listen, I do. You heard Christian McCaffrey talk about it. It's like, okay, on paper, it looks like this, but Kyle Juszczyk actually executing it and doing what he's supposed to do. There are so many minor details that go into these San Fran and Sean McVay offenses, And when you're a guy like Jeff Stoutland, who has done one thing for a long time, and what he's done and what he coaches, now all of a sudden you've got to learn this whole new world.

54:32But getting back to kind of what you brought up about Maillotta,

54:36Brock Purdy:he's taken more guys like Brett Toth, who was an Army practice squad guy, turned him into multiple starts at center. So it's easy to coach Jason Peters and Jason Kelsey, right? But when you take Jordan Mylotta and turn a rugby guy into an all-pro or take Brett Toth and turn him into a starter. Kaie Beckton. Kaie Beckton, right? Take these guys. He is phenomenal at turning guys who aren't living up to their potential into multi-year starters.

55:04Pat McAfee:So he's going to be highly desirable in the offensive line hiring coaching process. How many offensive line coaches are hired and fired each year?

55:13Brock Purdy:I mean, well, this year was more than most, right? Because you had ten openings. So now you get a new offensive coordinator that comes in. You either have the option to retain or go get your guy. And if you come from a floor. What did the Eagles think next year? They could.

55:26AJ Hawk:They probably will.

55:27Rob Woodson:I don't think they could. They probably will. I don't think they could.

55:29AJ Hawk:I know there was 21 new OCs this year. So I don't know how that correlates to what the offensive line coach, whether they're bringing a new offensive line coach or whatever. But that's a lot of new offenses.

55:40Pat McAfee:The trenches matter now more than ever. Yeah.

55:43AJ Hawk:Always has.

55:43Brock Purdy:We just haven't talked about it.

55:45Pat McAfee:I think whenever it was all spread out real wide, it didn't matter as much. A couple years there. Because everything was so quick and not really running downhill. And that did creep into the NFL for like a year and a half, couple years. Now, though, it's all the way back to like if you don't have an offensive line, you're not going to win. You got no chance. Like that's just how it's going to go. And Stotland's available.

56:03AQ Shipley:Big Dom's in the boot. I'm sure he has some back-of-the-line coach, right? He might kick-slide.

56:08Rob Woodson:I didn't even think about the grazie.

56:09AQ Shipley:Oh, yeah.

56:10Rob Woodson:Grazie. A prego.

56:12AJ Hawk:Yeah, yeah. Matta, matta, matta, matta, matta. I don't think that's.

56:18Brock Purdy:Gabba. Gabba, Gabba, Gabba.

56:20AJ Hawk:That one, yeah. Matzah I think is a, it's not Italian. Mozzarella.

56:27Brock Purdy:Mozzarella, mozza, mozza. Sorry about that, mozza, not matzah. We're not eating matzah ball soup.

56:31Pat McAfee:There was an Italian gentleman out here, remember his last name? M-E-C-U-M. Mecum. Mecum.

56:37James Winston:Mecum. Mecum. He said it was Italian though.

56:40Pat McAfee:He said it was Italian, so we all thought it was maybe a little.

56:43Rob Woodson:But cool man. Yeah. Turns out it's just me. May he come. That don't sound very Italian to me. No it doesn't. Well. Meek him? I think they do though. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. We all do I guess. Yeah. A little bit. A little bit.

57:02AJ Hawk:Welcome back to Uh Yeah, That's a Pepper Thing. First up we've got Harrison wrapping his Dr. Pepper in a tiny quilt so it feels at home. Oh how tender. That's a Pepper Thing. And over to Becca who's whispering affirmations to her can.

57:16Thor Bjornsson:You're sweet. You're unique. You're the best thing I ever poured over ice.

57:20Rob Riggle:She swears it makes it taste better. It's not a science thing.

57:22AJ Hawk:But it's a Pepper Thing. Why do they all do it? All for that sweet, delicious, truly one of the kind taste of Dr. Pepper. It's a Pepper Thing.

58:46Pat McAfee:Football! Is the greatest and obviously sport as a whole and life as a whole is much better whenever sports are happening and the biggest sport on earth is having its biggest game of all time this weekend. There's a chance that this has the biggest ratings of all time and it also has the least amount of star power. What new stars or superstars or legends or icons will be born on Sunday? We find out as the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots. Seahawks favored by four and a half with a large percentage of the public bets coming in on them. The New England Patriots right where they want to be.

59:20Pat McAfee:Underdogs kind of discounted in Warriors is what they say about themselves. We'll see if this young upstart

59:28Rob Woodson:Patriots crew is just like the dynastic group of the last 30 years. Sunday's biggest game of all time.

59:37Pat McAfee:Patriots getting four and a half points with Vrabel as the head coach is a fascinating fast. Josh McDaniels in the fascinating thing could get their asses kicked. Okay, we've seen the Chiefs get their asses kicked last year in the Super Bowl. 127.7 million people watch the Chiefs get obliterated in the Super Bowl. So maybe people are thinking that this has a chance to be the same thing against this Patriots team who's had the easiest schedule in the history of a Super Bowl run. History.

1:00:03AQ Shipley:Wow.

1:00:04Pat McAfee:It's a history of football. These guys have had to beat anybody.

1:00:11Pat McAfee:We'll see. Let's go to the Talks table. I have Boston Connor and I have Ty Schmidt. Con man, life is good for the Patriots fans once again.

1:00:16Brock Purdy:Yeah, it's unbelievable. And as far as easiest schedule ever, you know, I think the 2025 Jets probably beat the 1945 Jets. So let's not say it's the easiest schedule ever. Football right now is very good, but it's a great spot to be. And you talk about future star power. I feel like the more people learn about the New England Patriots and also the Seahawks, they're both very likable teams. McDonald and Vrabel, unbelievable stories. Sam Darnold, Drake May, great stories. I mean, across the board, their defenses, the way they play. I mean, you heard Bryce Young yesterday say, like, they don't talk that much trash to the other team.

1:00:48Brock Purdy:They're just talking to each other. Like, both teams very much have a bunker mentality, Seattle, because it's way up there in the top left. No one really talks about them all year. New England, easy schedule, not really a contender seriously, especially because damn near every single week you saw a lot of people talking about the Texans' defense, the Broncos' defense. Even if you go back to the Chargers, it was still an unproven thing with the Pats. But feel great now. And I do think as the week goes on, people are going to start to become fans of Seattle and Patriots and the guys on those teams.

1:01:19Pat McAfee:Certainly during the game as well. It's going to be called great. Mike Tirico is going to tell a lot of stories. He's going to get a chance to introduce a lot of people to a lot of things. I'm excited for him to handle that. NBC is going to be great. Let's go to one half of the hammer. Cowboys AP 10. Looking real glad to see you out here. Thank you.

1:01:32AJ Hawk:I appreciate that. A little moots, huh? A little moots, if you will. and what Connor was talking about, yes, they are two very, very, very likable teams. The only thing that's not likable about the Patriots is the fact that they are the Patriots. Oh, yeah! Drake Mays is awesome. Vrabel is awesome. So, yes, this is one of those, like, you talked about the Chiefs last year. Everyone was so happy the Chiefs got their asses beat because, you know, that's just what people root against teams that have been there a lot. This one where teams, you know, there was, I can't remember what company, they didn't expect these two teams to be in the Super Bowl.

1:02:02AJ Hawk:Like, they were just completely, oh, completely unprepared for that. So I think it being these two teams, everyone's going to be happy about it.

1:02:08Pat McAfee:I love everything about the stories developing and more stars coming to our league. Stars are what make the league. New stars are about to be made on Sunday. Nine-year NFL vet looking really cool. Ladies and gentlemen, Darius J. Ballers. D-Bucks, we're going to have a good game, I feel like.

1:02:23AQ Shipley:I think so, too. And I think the casual might not know these players, but there will be a lot of superstars on that field. Jackson Smith and Jacob had one of the best seasons we've seen from wide receiver. him obviously in Puka, been up at Offense Player of the Year. You got Drake May, legit MVP candidate. A lot of people have forgotten with this playoff run and the games and the situations that he's been in, but this is a great, great offense and a great young quarterback. Obviously, Sam Darnold, he's been playing lights out. Kenneth Walker. Kenneth Walker could have one of those Super Bowl MVP type performances as well, so I think Emin Worry, he's another guy who, you should hear his name, so hopefully he's healthy and can get out there and play.

1:02:59Pat McAfee:Yeah, Emin Worry came out with an ankle, I believe From practice, the video of him walking obviously looks like he's limping pretty good. He's not in a boot, so hopefully by Sunday he'll be okay. I just thought of a couple crazy scenarios. Kenneth Walker goes crazy, wins the MDP. Sam Darnold still can't do it. That's what people say.

1:03:19AQ Shipley:Chris Gonzalez picked six. I mean, I can't get that picture out of my head. I see that happening.

1:03:24Pat McAfee:Okay, I like that. I like everything about that. But if Kenneth Walker goes crazy for Seattle Seahawks, Sam Darnold will get the – He got carried by Kenneth Walker. Worst quarterback. Yes, they will. Even if it's just Jackson Smith and Jayla. I don't think so.

1:03:38AQ Shipley:I disagree.

1:03:38Pat McAfee:I hope not because Sam Darnold, what he's been doing in big games, he's been flawless. 300 plus four tuts. I mean, he's going crazy every single time. A.J. Hawk, how do you feel about the vibes here in San Francisco? Does it feel like a Super Bowl?

1:03:49James Winston:It does feel like a Super Bowl. I think today feels even more like a Super Bowl than yesterday. Every day as we get closer and closer, I think it kind of – the tension builds, the excitement, everything about it. But you're right. Like, usually there's a team that people nationally hate. I feel like we don't have that as much this year.

1:04:02Pat McAfee:Patriots naturally just because the logo.

1:04:04James Winston:Yep. And because of – I don't know. I've never really said this, but so many people – I'm so sick of them winning last year when the Chiefs were winning. Exactly. I'm so sick. I was like, I'm not sick of it. I don't know. How do I get there? How do I become – that's what I'm trying to figure out.

1:04:17Pat McAfee:Well, and also it's a very new Patriots team, but a lot of people don't know that because Vrabel, he was there. Yeah, we know. It's like Vrabel actually came up as a coach somewhere else, not really even at the Patriots, but he certainly is in the New England Patriots Hall of Fame. So I think there's a lot of people that just kind of carry it all together, just the entire organization as a whole we hate. We don't care how likable this new version is. We hate the whole damn organization up there.

1:04:37Brock Purdy:And people hate the path. The schedule has been a conversation the whole year, and then the playoffs happen, bad weather, bad weather.

1:04:43James Winston:There's not easy schedules in the NFL for the full 17 games lately.

1:04:47Rob Woodson:Yeah, he's a professional athlete.

1:04:48Brock Purdy:The playoffs, they're saying it was an easy playoff schedule.

1:04:51James Winston:In college, you can have easy schedules.

1:04:54AQ Shipley:Whoa, whoa, whoa. Even if they are, you gotta win the game. Exactly. You gotta win all, if you're favored in 15 of your games, you win 13 or 14 of them, that's a great job.

1:05:04Pat McAfee:The game is happening in Santa Clara. Everything else is happening here in San Francisco. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, the 46th mayor of San Francisco. Hell yeah. Daniel Lory. Wow.

1:05:16Brock Purdy:Daniel Lory. Coming out with a handshake. Looks presidential. Very presidential. Yeah. Purple tie, I love it.

1:05:24Pat McAfee:Thank you so much for these.

1:05:28James Winston:Joe Montana was saying great things yesterday.

1:05:30Robert Irwin:Yeah, he was. Mr. Mayor, how are you doing? Joe is amazing. Thank you. Joe's the goat. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to your Pats fans. Sorry, Drake fans on the way. Four and O. Four and O. It's tough to.

1:05:41Pat McAfee:Yeah, I understand. I understand. And you actually have to do that as the mayor of the city. So we actually love that you immediately come out and you start talking shit about somebody else's quarterback. Let's talk about your city.

1:05:51Robert Irwin:I love Tom, but, you know, he didn't get hit. He didn't have to get hit like Joe. Yeah. I mean, I was watching. That was ball. I was Lawrence Taylor talking about how he could just tear Joe's head off and come back. I mean, Lawrence Taylor called Joe Montana the goat.

1:06:11Rob Woodson:So you're just saying, hey, I'm just quoting others. Tom Brady's from San Fran, brother. Yeah, you could have taken credit for him.

1:06:16Pat McAfee:You could have taken credit for him.

1:06:18Robert Irwin:We like Tom, too. We love having you here. It's an honor to have this show. You guys do a great job. And I hope you're having a great time in San Francisco.

1:06:28Pat McAfee:Okay, so, Mr. Mayor, let's talk about that. We had no idea what to expect. We're getting, obviously, reports from people with what their projections were potentially going to be. And, obviously, you know, with our existence in this world, there's been a lot of things said by a lot of different people. So, like, us coming out here, we had no idea what to expect. We want to let you know, this is a beautiful city, man. Let's go. Let's go. There's gold plating on, like, a building, and then the next building, like, vastly different looks. Like, it is like, it feels like we are in a historic city, but it's very nice.

1:06:55Pat McAfee:And I don't think we expected this at all. The walks around town have been spectacular and very active. You've got people running and biking, and it's like, this has been a fantastic place. I want to let you know. I hope you heard us say that because it's very real.

1:07:06Robert Irwin:I heard that, and that's why I wanted to come say hi and say thank you. You know, listen, I ran for mayor. I've never been in politics before. I'm one year in. I ran because some of those stories were true. We had problems. We had lost our way as a city. This past year, we have taken control. We don't let the outside noise affect us. We focus on public safety. We focus on the behavioral health crisis, getting people who are addicted off the street into help, and then welcoming the world, welcoming business back. Keep it simple. Do the basics. And then our entrepreneurs, our innovators, I mean, we're the home of AI.

1:07:40Robert Irwin:We got the greatest artists. We got the greatest restaurants and we just need to unleash that and that's what's happening okay i love to hear that

1:07:47Pat McAfee:because when somebody pitches that obviously it sounds good now granted i don't know how much everybody buys into every idea in uh politics but how are you able to uh like kind of in uh enact all these things because obviously in theory that all sounds good hey let's clean up let's not listen to the outside noise but you've got to get so many people to agree right in a line how do you kind of do that in the politics world which we don't know much about but we do know hard to get

1:08:09Robert Irwin:people doing this right in that kind of a thing when I got elected 28 % of San Franciscans thought we were heading in the right direction today that number is 69 % you wouldn't find that in any other 60 any other city so we're all we're all going in the right direction we know safety first so I have put my arms around our police officers our sheriffs we put more police officers down here starting a year ago, we had this hospitality zone task force near Union Square, near the hotels where you all are staying. Crime in the hospitality zone, down 40%, down 30 % citywide. And applications to be police officers here in San Francisco, up 54%.

1:08:56Robert Irwin:We're using drones as a first responder, as we say. Something happens. You get a drone up so our officers can chase safely, not injure residents, and we catch them. Where'd you come from before being

1:09:11Pat McAfee:a politician?

1:09:13Robert Irwin:I ran a foundation. You know the foundation in New York City called Robin Hood? Sure. He does not.

1:09:21Pat McAfee:That was politics. He just said politics.

1:09:25Robert Irwin:Pretty good. Ronnie Lott and I started a foundation in 2005 called Tipping Point focused on tackling poverty in the Bay Area. I ran that for 15 years. I was actually asked by Jed York and the previous mayor, Mayor Ed Lee, to chair the Super Bowl 50 host committee. So I ran this 10 years ago. And then three years ago, I was like, our city is going in the wrong direction. I have to do something. I can't sit on the sidelines and complain. So I jumped in.

1:09:52Pat McAfee:Well, we appreciate the fact that your resume has provided you the opportunity to stick to what your plan has and turn it back into a beautiful place, I would assume. We weren't here whenever it wasn't, from what you're talking about. But I do think a lot of people potentially are thinking that that is what it is, even though in the history we grew up on Full House, brother. Yes, I did too. Yeah, we grew up on Full House.

1:10:10Rob Woodson:Every way you play is a pleasure. I know the name. Every way you look. See, that's where we were.

1:10:20Robert Irwin:This is good. You belong in San Francisco. Come do your show out here once a quarter. This is the greatest thing. Once a quarter. Everybody knows that the future is being made in San Francisco. Open AI, Anthropic, Scale, like all these companies, they all say Silicon Valley. It's actually happening in San Francisco a few blocks from here.

1:10:43Pat McAfee:Okay, so how much do you know about it? Are we all right? Yeah, you thought about shutting it all down? Yeah, what are we talking about?

1:10:46Robert Irwin:Are you thinking about unplugging it? I'm plugging it. Just unplug it and we're all going to be out there. Exactly, Mr.

1:10:51Rob Woodson:Mayor. Yeah.

1:10:52Robert Irwin:Listen. And the electric,

1:10:54Rob Woodson:well, it's not even talking about the power. Yeah, the server. Oh, yeah, yeah. The substations. Mr. Mayor, don't want to put you in the hot seat.

1:11:00Robert Irwin:You want to go down to the substation?

1:11:04Rob Woodson:I mean, can we just unplug this thing? Did you go after Fred? Was that you going after Fred? Fred came after us.

1:11:11Robert Irwin:By the way, I would not want to have Fred coming after us. Agreed.

1:11:15Pat McAfee:He brought me cheese, so we're good.

1:11:17Robert Irwin:That was a San Francisco resident who came after us. A biscuit, like a coconut. It's from the best Italian coffee spot in North Beach. Oh. Let's go. Go Nazi.

1:11:28Pat McAfee:Okay, we have a couple questions about Super Bowl and such. AJ has one for you.

1:11:31James Winston:As far as the Super Bowl, obviously, what has it been like planning for this whole situation? I know you've only been in a year, but also like the politics world. Was it what you thought? What are some things I guess you did not foresee that you were dealing with?

1:11:43Robert Irwin:One thing about Super Bowl 50, San Francisco was doing well. When I was chair of it, the city council supervisors, they were like, oh, we don't need the Super Bowl. They were like, it's fine. It was crazy. Believe me, I know. This time around, everybody's on board. Everybody's fired up. It's bigger. It's better. We have 270 events in San Francisco alone this week. I mean, you throw a rock and hit some famous musician who's playing tonight. Chappelle's playing multiple shows this weekend, one at a 500-person venue and one at Chase. It's going to be a wild weekend. But as far as the job, I had no idea what I was walking into.

1:12:25Robert Irwin:It's insane. Like there was a mountain lion in a residential park last week. And so I stopped by. You shot it yourself? I did not. My friends were wishing that I had done, you know, darted it. We darted it and we released them in the wild safely. We did it well. We did it well. We did it well. Okay. I bet. Yeah. Okay.

1:12:51Matt Ryan:There's video of it.

1:12:52Robert Irwin:There's video. It wasn't AI generated.

1:12:57Pat McAfee:Hey, we put a tracker on it. You can follow it now.

1:13:01Robert Irwin:So one moment, you've got a lion in a park. And then the next moment, you're talking to somebody on the street who's struggling with homelessness or addiction. You see everything. And then the next moment, you're on some crazy sports talk radio show. And that's all in one day.

1:13:18Pat McAfee:Hey, what a run, though. I think you've got a couple very good promos today. I think you've said everything that you would hope that a politician representing your city and making decisions in your city would say. Last question for you here, Mr. Mayor from D-Buds.

1:13:29AQ Shipley:Yeah, I love politicians that know ball. Sound like you know ball. How do you think this game is going to go this Sunday?

1:13:35Robert Irwin:I think I'm a Niners fan like through and through. So people keep asking me, Pats, Seahawks, and I just say Niners. Drake May, I mean, they're so young. Your Pats are so young. I saw the Crafts the other night. They're going for seven. I know that's a big deal. So that Seahawks defense is intense. So I think the question is, can they score points? They obviously was a snowstorm, but they couldn't score points against Denver. So I think that's I think the question is, can they get 25, 28 points? Otherwise, I think Seattle. Wow.

1:14:10Pat McAfee:He said, can they keep up with Seattle? That's the question.

1:14:13Robert Irwin:I mean, they're off.

1:14:13Pat McAfee:That's a good football take. I want to let you know.

1:14:15Robert Irwin:That quarterback. I mean, what's his acronym? No, no, no, no, no, no. JSN. JSN. And JSN, I mean, that guy looked against us. He tore us apart. Against everybody. Pretty good. I took my son up to Seattle for that game.

1:14:31Pat McAfee:That was tough.

1:14:32Robert Irwin:I also took my son to the 23 championship game in Philadelphia. He was seven. He was in shorts. It was 40 into the high 30s. Worst sports experience ever, but also best life lesson ever. They were heckling an eight-year-old. Yeah.

1:14:50Rob Woodson:That's Philly. That's Philly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:14:52Robert Irwin:That's it. Love that. I somehow don't ask. Come to New England. I said he needs some help, too. Somehow I'm friends with the governor of Pennsylvania, and he invited me to the game a few weeks ago, and I told him. I said, Governor, your fans heckled my 8-year-old son. I said, those are your people. I'm not coming again. We won.

1:15:13Pat McAfee:What did he say, though? He said, good, yeah. They'll do it again.

1:15:16Robert Irwin:You know, he's like, you'll have better seats this time. Yeah, smart, smart.

1:15:19Thor Bjornsson:You're lucky that it's making me horse shit. Okay. That's Philadelphia.

1:15:24Pat McAfee:That's Philadelphia. I understand. I have a question for you, and this is the last one, and this is a real question. You are a Democrat, I assume?

1:15:31Robert Irwin:Yes.

1:15:32Pat McAfee:Sounds like what you're saying, though, a lot of, and I don't know enough, but I do have friends on very different sides. Sounds like what you're saying a lot of, I think the other side would agree with everything that you were kind of saying. Is that happening in politics ever? It sounds like it kind of is. This is like a real question. Are you guys ever going to be able to?

1:15:48Robert Irwin:I don't think about the party. I think about San Francisco. People always want me to chime in on Sacramento or D.C., Pat. And I just say, I'm focused on San Francisco. I'm getting rid of the nonsense, focusing on common sense. We got to a place where it was all ideological. It was all, like, how do I look apart? And that's what we got tired of in San Francisco. And they were like, no, no, I just want to walk my kid to school and feel safe. I want to open my small business, not get broken into. and that's why it's working in San Francisco because we're not focused on that noise.

1:16:21Pat McAfee:Yeah, I love that. Because, like, taking a stand to actually enact that takes a lot of people probably not happy. Oh, yeah.

1:16:27Robert Irwin:I mean, walk outside with me. Yeah, I can imagine, yeah. Actually, we're doing pretty well on it because people see cleaner streets, safer streets. 69%, brother. 69%.

1:16:36Rob Woodson:Yeah, we're up from 28%.

1:16:38Robert Irwin:Look, you remember your number.

1:16:39Pat McAfee:Oh, yeah, we're up 50-some, 40-some. Yeah, you're doing a lot of numbers out here, brother, and I appreciate them all. We appreciate the hospitality.

1:16:44Robert Irwin:I hope you have a great time. Go enjoy yourselves. And I appreciate you saying good things about our city because when we're at our best, it's the greatest city in the world.

1:16:53Pat McAfee:All right. Let's make sure we're monitoring that AI, though.

1:16:55Robert Irwin:Yeah, seriously. Understood. Nice to meet you. Unplug it.

1:17:00Pat McAfee:Foxy, good call. Shoot. I don't want to. Mr. Mayor.

1:17:05Robert Irwin:Shoot. Let's do it. I wanted to throw a football.

1:17:08Pat McAfee:You want to. We're playing basketball this week. All right.

1:17:13Robert Irwin:my son's going to be.

1:17:14Pat McAfee:It's a state fair game. What is the expectation level we should have of you making this shot? Do you know what I'm saying? Like, what's your – Percentage. You're amazing.

1:17:24Robert Irwin:20%.

1:17:25Pat McAfee:Okay, okay, okay. It's going in first. Hey, hold on, though. This will be for – This will be for$100 ,000. Oh, it's bouncy. It's bouncy. And light. This will be for a$100 ,000 donation to something here in San Francisco if you make it on this first shot.

1:17:38AQ Shipley:Oh.

1:17:40Pat McAfee:Nobody's really been able to – Yeah.

1:17:45Rob Woodson:Smart move, Mr. Mayor. 100 ,000.

1:17:48AQ Shipley:Yuck it.

1:17:51James Winston:That was nice. That would have been awesome. Well, sad back in a bit. Yeah, he is. Fooling me.

1:17:56Rob Woodson:Same thing, same deal, same deal.

1:17:59James Winston:Last one. One more. Let's follow through a little bit.

1:18:02Rob Woodson:Hey, Mr.

1:18:02Pat McAfee:Mayor. Come on, man. That's beautiful. 100 ,000. You would not be the only one that would miss. It's a very difficult shot. No one's made it today. But if you were to make this, this would be very cool.

1:18:12Robert Irwin:I see what you do on the field goals. Come on, Dan. Bang. Oh!

1:18:18Brock Purdy:Yes! Yeah! You did it. Nice little jump shot. You got a nice little jump shot. Screw that, Mike. Never a doubt. Won't go. Is that Daniel Lurie? Thank you. Eagles? Holy shit. Great job.

1:18:34James Winston:Yeah. House. You too, buddy. What a shot.

1:18:37Brock Purdy:Ow! Holy cow. Hell yeah. Yeah, that's right. Let's go, Dan. Bit of a wet jumper.

1:18:45AQ Shipley:Bang, bang. Never doubt.

1:18:47Pat McAfee:Was that 20 % too, by the way? Was that four or was that the third one? Third.

1:18:51AQ Shipley:He fooled AJ too. AJ thought you didn't have a chance. Yeah, AJ was talking shit.

1:18:55Rob Woodson:I didn't really. No.

1:18:57James Winston:I didn't expect that.

1:18:58Rob Woodson:I did not either. Maybe that's on us.

1:18:59James Winston:He had to take the jacket off because it was, I mean, Christian McCaffrey couldn't make it.

1:19:03Pat McAfee:A lot of numbers coming out here early, man. There's 28 % these people are talking about. One year with me, 69%. I think it really sucked here. Yeah, I think everybody's saying that. We talked to, like, local police. We talked to retired police. We talked to some business people. We talked to other people we encounter here. Mayors, like, yeah, it wasn't great. Joe Montana, I think everybody's going to say it wasn't great. We weren't in a good spot, but we all kind of made a decision we're not going to do it anymore. And I think San Francisco is showcasing to us. I mean, I don't know about the world.

1:19:28Pat McAfee:I don't know how people are going to change their opinions about what's going on. But it's a beautiful place. And we're trying to make everywhere a beautiful place. I believe joining us is a man who is here. literally just kind of popped up here. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, alongside Rod Woodson. Hell yes. I believe he's the administrator of the – he's the head of the DEA. Whoa. Yeah, he's here on a mission to try to stop fentanyl, I believe, in our society, ladies and gentlemen. Terry Cole. Get out of here, Tony.

1:19:57AQ Shipley:Wow. How you doing?

1:19:59Brock Purdy:My God. How are you? How you doing, sir?

1:20:03AQ Shipley:Oh, yeah.

1:20:04Brock Purdy:It's an honor.

1:20:05Rob Woodson:Yeah.

1:20:08AQ Shipley:Yeah, you got it. Legend, how you doing?

1:20:09Rob Woodson:Yeah, hey. You're going, Conor. Thank you for doing that. AJ, I think you can sit there.

1:20:16Pat McAfee:AJ, you just bounced down one. Rod, sorry we got you down there. You obviously deserve to be up on a... You know what I mean? We appreciate the hell out of you. Okay, so very rarely does... What is your official title, just so I know? I'm the administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Okay. Okay, so administrator. So you administer the administration of the Drug Enforcement Agency?

1:20:43Brock Purdy:So, Pat, I'm the number one guy at the DEA. I'm a career special agent from New York, as we were talking last night. Shout out. That has worked all around the world. So I've played in the Super Bowl of DEA, of Drug Law Enforcement.

1:20:58Rob Woodson:Okay, sick. I like that line.

1:21:00Brock Purdy:I was in Bogota, Colombia. I was in Afghanistan. I was in Mexico City, Dallas, New York. Right. The Super Bowl. The Super Bowl of what we do and what we're here to talk about today with fentanyl-free America.

1:21:15Pat McAfee:Okay. Okay. Okay, so fentanyl-free America. And I think we watched some of those in Narcos, I believe. Yeah. Some of the things that you just referenced right there. So thank you for, you know, signing up to protect our country in this particular way. I grew up in western Pennsylvania. Our generation, I'm 38 years old. I think pain pills kind of led to the use of, you know, like heroin and everything. Like a lot of my friends have passed away due to drugs. Now the modern thing is fentanyl, right? That is kind of the new 16 to 44, like kind of outgoing out crowd. And you guys are trying to spread the word that, hey, we need to be careful about everything that's going on.

1:21:51Pat McAfee:Is that kind of what you're on right now?

1:21:53Brock Purdy:That's absolutely right. And we've teamed up with the NFL alumni and health, brought in the Hall of Famer, the Super Bowl champ who's got a great story to tell as well, but to get the word out regarding fentanyl, especially counterfeit pills that are coming in from Mexico that are poisoning and killing so many of our youth.

1:22:13Pat McAfee:Yeah, and it's the same type of demo, and we thought that maybe a lot of people that watch this show and that demo could potentially be hearing these stories. Rod Woodson, you being a part of this is obviously huge for all of us. Thank you for your contribution to sport. Oh, yeah, Rod. Yeah, and football. You're obviously a legend. How did you end up getting tied into this mission here, Rod?

1:22:28Matt Ryan:Well, I mean, Kyle, one of my old teammates, reached out to me, and it kind of touched home to me because my oldest son was dealing with some drugs when he was in high school. But being blessed, and I'm saying it kind of crazy like that, but being blessed that it wasn't in this era with fentanyl. And so going out there and trying to talk to these young kids, we listen. We all have one of these, right? We all got a phone. Yep. We're all on social media. And these kids are buying drugs or prescription drugs, what they think, on social media platforms, and you can't. So you have to go through your trusted physician to get your prescription through the legal way, through a pharmacy, and tell these young kids, just be smart.

1:23:19Matt Ryan:Be smart. Let's make some smart decisions. And if we can do that, then we're helping our young kids.

1:23:23Pat McAfee:Terry, when did this start with the fentanyl? Because it feels like the last couple of years. How long has this been kind of the thing? And are we at max emergency with this? Or how are we slowing it down?

1:23:35Brock Purdy:So, Pat, it started to ramp up in 2015. Roughly in 2018, 2019, 2020 is when we saw it at the height. Roughly about 100 ,000 Americans every year were seeing poisons and dying. Last year, we had a significant decrease due to the president, due to the attorney general, And due to awareness, getting out into the communities, having these discussions, empowering parents to have critical discussions with their kids, empowering coaches, empowering churches, the faith-based organization, and these parents. Pat, when we walk into DEA headquarters, we have the faces of fentanyl. There are 7 ,000 kids' pictures on the wall from losing their life to fentanyl.

1:24:22Brock Purdy:We have another 15 ,000 parents that have petitioned to have their son or daughter put on the faces of fentanyl. That's a constant reminder to the 12 ,000 employees at DEA that we need to go out and protect. We need to go out and have awareness. We need to go out and spread our word. But we are an enforcement agency. We are built on enforcement, global enforcement and operations. But when we have an opportunity to go out and spread the word, to team up with an NFL champ, with a Hall of Famer in this network, it is critically important to get our message out there. And that's what we're all about, saving American lives and defending and protecting our national security of the United States.

1:25:05Pat McAfee:Well, I appreciate the hell out of you. What's the official title? Administrator Cole? Administrator. What is your – how do I – I just want to make sure I call it. Terry, what do I – You call me Terry. Yes, sir. Administrator Terry? Yes, sir. Okay, Administrator Terry, I appreciate your passion for this, honestly. It feels like you've committed a lot of your life to trying to protect our youth and the crowd that I hung out with a lot, the demographic of people that I hung out with, are the people that are probably getting attacked by this the most, people with similar mindsets to me. So I appreciate you committing your entire being to this.

1:25:33Pat McAfee:And 12 ,000 employees at the DEA. And Rod Woodson, I love that you're putting a little backing in this because as soon as you show up, everything's legitimized, brother. Bill Coward told a story last week about you catching punts over your head like this. Do you remember whatever you're talking about?

1:25:47Matt Ryan:I did some stupid things in my life. No. But, I mean, I enjoyed doing it that way. I caught with my eyes. I mean, you push a move with your body, you catch with your hands, right? And, you know, it became natural. I did it when I was a kid. And it just, for me, my coach was like, hey, put your – I need you not – you can't catch it with your hands like that. I'm like, what are you talking about? It's a football. Don't you catch it with your hands? He's like, I need you to put your elbows together. I'm like, dude, come on. Let's be an athlete. Let's go out there and let's have some fun. Let's watch this.

1:26:15Matt Ryan:And then the good thing is Bill Cowher, even before that, though, I mean, Chuck Knoll, Bill Cowher, they allowed me to be me inside of my game.

1:26:23Pat McAfee:Okay, yeah, one of the greatest athletes of all time, one of the greatest football players to ever exist. So whenever you team up with them, it's obviously going to spread the word a lot more. So I appreciate you doing that. You just mentioned, obviously, legends in Pittsburgh. We appreciate the hell out of you in Pittsburgh. How do you feel about the change, Mike McCarthy? I was surprised.

1:26:38Matt Ryan:I mean, think about it. Now, Chuck Knoll, young, great. Bill Cowher, young. Mike Tomlin, young. McCarthy, not so young. So I was a little surprised. Obviously, he's from that area. The only question is, who's going to be this quarterback?

1:26:54Pat McAfee:Administrator Terry, we're talking about a winning football organization. You know, Pittsburgh. Absolute legends. Yes, sir. New York. I don't know.

1:27:01Brock Purdy:Yikes. I'm a Bills fan, so I'm not Western New York. I'm a Bills fan. Even more so. Come on now. I'm going to represent, and I'm scared. I got my detail out back. You saw them yesterday. You saw we roll deep.

1:27:14Pat McAfee:Very deep, as you should, by the way. We appreciate what you do for our country. Thank you for getting this word out. We'll continue to try to spread it as well because this is something that should stop, needs to stop, and, you know, going to save a lot of lives. So thank you for doing that. Thank you for stopping by.

1:27:27Brock Purdy:Thank you for letting us be on the platform. We ran into each other just as we were crossing paths last night. This shows your passion to protect your community, to spread the awareness, and we are hiring at DEA, DEA.gov, One Pill Can Kill, DEA.gov Careers, Special Agents, Downrange, 91 countries, 354 offices domestically. We are an enforcement action arm and we're back to global enforcement, Pat. Love to see you sometime. Okay.

1:27:56Rob Woodson:I don't know if you'll be seeing me anywhere out there, but I do appreciate that you are. Ladies and gentlemen, the DEA Administrator, Terry Cole. Thank you all.

1:28:06Pat McAfee:Thank you, man.

1:28:07Rob Woodson:That was awesome. What a promo. That was incredible. Yeah. That was incredible. See you down range. Bang and a boom, bang and a boom, bang and a boom. Yeah, that was awesome.

1:28:15Brock Purdy:All right, legend. Thank you. Appreciate it. All right, Terry, you're the man. You're the frickin' man.

1:28:26Pat McAfee:Rod Woodson's a legend, geez.

1:28:28Rob Woodson:Just casual Rod Woodson drop in. Yeah, and administrator. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? Hey, thank you. That's the Super Bowl. Hell yeah. Hey, you got it, down range. Yeah, we'll talk down range. See you down range, Terry. We'll talk down range. That's the Super Bowl. Jeez. Mayor. And I was down there in Bogota.

1:28:48Thor Bjornsson:Yeah, that guy is a big swinging dick. Yeah. Mexico City. He's like one of the highest ranking. I mean, that's crazy. The guy runs the DEA.

1:28:55Pat McAfee:We walked outside after the show yesterday. Had something set up, which was cool to go to, which is interesting, you know, because get a chance to chat with a lot of people here that you don't really get to see. And, you know, yesterday was cool. Walk immediately outside. There's a lot of Escalades, a lot of people. and it's like somebody's here. Somebody's obviously here. Before you get there, somebody's obviously here. Turn a corner, doors open. He's kind of like just getting into the car like it's a movie scene. And I go, holy shit. You know, just like classic, holy shit, just because I want to see the person turn their head.

1:29:25Pat McAfee:And then somebody goes, Pat, how you doing? I go, hey, man. I didn't know who it was. I'm a ghost. You wouldn't know me. Yeah, exactly. And he gets into the whole thing and I'm like, oh, dude, very nice to meet you. Thank you for spreading that. Because honestly, our generation, I don't know about your guys' generation. Oh, yeah,

1:29:38Brock Purdy:Yeah, for sure. Absolutely. We were like, I feel like at the beginning of when it got really bad as well, because he mentioned kind of the errors and tears of like with fentanyl and use and stuff like even Rod mentioned with his son, like this era now it is so bad.

1:29:53Pat McAfee:Yeah, because I can't even like there's not even a weed stuff. You get trick. Yeah, it's scary. And obviously more knowledge of that is better for everybody. Speaking of knowledge, we all know that our next guest.

1:30:08Brock Purdy:Yeah.

1:30:09Rob Woodson:Yeah. Okay. We all know this image of a human that is supersized to a proportion that you didn't know a human body could actually go. And then you think to yourself, wow, is that the biggest, strongest? Yeah, actually. Going to deadlift something off the ground. 1 ,124 pounds. What? Now, on the video, it's not in pounds because they do it in kilograms. Yeah, whatever those are.

1:30:38Pat McAfee:Stone, yeah.

1:30:39Rob Woodson:Stone, obviously. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now from Iceland and Game of Thrones. I don't know how to pronounce his entire name. Don't mess it up. Half-more Julius Bjornsson, also known as Thor. Yeah. I think you nailed it. I think you nailed it. Holy shit. What the hell? God, it's good to see you. Jeez, great to see you.

1:31:06James Winston:Jeez. Holy shit, man.

1:31:10Brock Purdy:What an honor, nice to meet you. How you doing?

1:31:13Rob Woodson:Holy - Freaking mountain.

1:31:14Brock Purdy:Yeah. Trying to rip my arm off.

1:31:16Rob Woodson:Yeah. Right here. Is that okay? Yep, you got him, D-Money. What were you doing there? Just sizing him up? Fently sized, yeah. Yeah. That's real. Anything you want, Bob, I think that probably happens a lot.

1:31:27Terry Cole:You got a small style of fit.

1:31:29Rob Woodson:You all right? I'm good.

1:31:32Terry Cole:Thanks so much for having me, guys. Pleasure, pleasure. Pleasure's ours.

1:31:39Pat McAfee:Hey, Enhance is on your back. Yeah, yeah. You are an enhanced human. Like looking at you here, it's kinda, I've been in WWE. Yeah, I've been in WWE, obviously gigantic human beings. NFL, gigantic human beings. You turn the corner here, there's a little bit of - Yeah. Holy shit. Yeah, you have a real presence about you. Always, when did you start growing? When did you start becoming bigger than everybody?

1:32:02Terry Cole:I've always been bigger, always been bigger. Bigger like being tall, but I had to really work for my size. I'm actually quite small right now, believe it or not. I'm usually a bit heavier. I'm only 400 pounds, it was like around 450 pounds. That's like at my heaviest, 450. So I'm relatively small right now, guys. So my apologies if you guys -

1:32:23Rob Woodson:Okay, we're not getting the full experience. You're saying, we're not getting the full experience.

1:32:26Terry Cole:Yeah, I saw the look on those guys. They're like, this guy is looking kinda - No, no, no, no, no.

1:32:30Rob Woodson:I just watched the last season of Game of Thrones. Yeah, no problems there.

1:32:34Pat McAfee:How many calories a day? How many meals?

1:32:36Terry Cole:So right now around 8 ,000 calories, you know. I got to bump it up a bit, you know, soon in my preparation for the enhanced games, May 24th in Las Vegas.

1:32:46Pat McAfee:And you're going to be trying to break your own record, right? Is that what's happening there?

1:32:48Terry Cole:Correct. My world record is 510 kilograms. And I broke it. This is the third time I broke it. So this is going to be my fourth time breaking my own world record. So, yeah, I'm stoked. I'm excited at the enhanced games in May you said May May 24th May 24th at the resource source world

1:33:08Pat McAfee:yeah can you tell me a little bit about the enhanced games because we learned about this quickly there's going to be no drug testing I believe they're going to be doing all the sports is that accurate is that still how it's going yeah so so there are roughly 50 athletes are

1:33:21Terry Cole:going to be competing on May 24th at the enhanced games there are um um swimming tracking fields and And then some strength, people lifting some heavy, heavy, heavy things. So yeah, it's gonna be a fun event, a fun event.

1:33:34Pat McAfee:Are you competing in the event or just doing this event at the event? What do you think? I think you're winning the whole damn thing. I am competing, man. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so I don't wanna get too much into the enhanced stuff, but how is that process going for you?

1:33:48Terry Cole:Yeah, so it's really, really like I feel really good and safe going into the hands games because not only do they have a lot of professionals you know people that really take care of you before i was approved to go to the hands games i had to go meet with professionals have my heart checked and do blood work to make sure that i'm qualified enough to compete at enhanced games because obviously not a good look if i'm not healthy enough to compete and be enhanced So everything is done professional. I will be taking good care of, I'll be checking my health in this journey along with these professionals.

1:34:29Terry Cole:So yeah, it's done the right way.

1:34:32Pat McAfee:You're gonna be giving blood, they're gonna be testing your blood, the whole process. I might know a little part of it, I'm not enhanced game, but I'm certainly utilizing modern sciences. So I'm excited to see what the enhanced game part. You booze at all or are you drinking beers, White Hammer, beers? What? A little whiskey. What?

1:34:48Rob Woodson:Maybe a little tequila.

1:34:50Pat McAfee:What?

1:34:51Terry Cole:Vodka. What? Why, offer me right now? Well, we could. Where's Joe? Yeah, we might have a couple. Yeah, I'm sure we could have more waters, coffee. Yeah, actually, to be honest, no, I don't drink, no. Ever?

1:35:02Pat McAfee:Have you ever?

1:35:03Terry Cole:I have, I have. It's not like I don't drink, I just choose not to because I am active in my sport and trying to become the best be the best. So trying to be the best, I gotta make right decisions for my body, for myself. If I'd be drinking, drunk downtown every other weekend, I'll probably not be making as good progress. So every decision I make in my life is based on performance.

1:35:30Rob Woodson:Yeah, so you're locked in. That's what we just got out of here, completely locked in. Go ahead, Conor.

1:35:33Brock Purdy:Well, I mean, to the drinking point, like do you have to drink a bottle of Jack Daniels to get drunk? Like how does that even work? Not a bad call.

1:35:41Terry Cole:So that's a good question. No, actually not. Believe it or not, I don't drink neat a lot because my body is not used to a lot of alcohol. I don't drink often, but when I drink, I'll have a few drinks maybe. If I drink, I go out with my wife, maybe have a few red wines. There's nothing crazy. I'm not hammered, if you're asking. What are we doing? Protein? All protein all day? I have protein, carbs, fats, healthy fats. You know, wax the balls. You know, it's pretty straightforward. What's dinner look like? What's a normal dinner? A normal dinner is usually, you know, beef tenderloin. Hell yeah. Either some potatoes, you know, or some white rice.

1:36:26Terry Cole:Some carbs that eat to digest because I eat a lot of carbohydrates. And then some vegetables, you know, like mixed vegetables, whatever, you know. that's a typical typical dinner I'm actually a massive fan of Greek yogurt and orange juice together sometimes I put fruits into it as well I mix it in a blender and it's quite tasty

1:36:50Pat McAfee:you ever hear of anybody drinking their own piss? never never? you've never heard that?

1:36:57James Winston:you've heard that tell me about that this tends to be a thing that he will perpetuate over the years. But yes, I've actually never drank my own urine, and I don't plan on it. But there's people who have admitted to it, like UFC fighters, different guys. What's the reason behind it? Like, is it...

1:37:13Brock Purdy:Tastes good.

1:37:14James Winston:Must be thirsty.

1:37:15Brock Purdy:I like Troil.

1:37:15James Winston:They like the taste. They like the warm taste.

1:37:17Rob Woodson:And it's good for you, they say. Yeah. They say you recover. It replenishes your nutrients.

1:37:21Terry Cole:Absolutely nonsense. Exactly. What?

1:37:24Rob Woodson:Drink your own... No reason.

1:37:25Terry Cole:There have been some health benefits.

1:37:27Thor Bjornsson:If you add a couple cubes, you have a glass of ice-cold piss. That's nonsense, man. I don't believe that.

1:37:32Pat McAfee:How does the body feel? I know like when you're walking around here, a lot of people making you do feats of strength. Has that been happening?

1:37:39Terry Cole:No, thankfully not, man. Thankfully not. No, just been peaceful, man. Do you think? Thankfully not. Thankfully not. I can't make this guy do anything. You wanna do one?

1:37:48Rob Woodson:Okay, so we are, maybe get some piss, yeah, maybe. Yes.

1:37:53Pat McAfee:If we were to potentially have you squat two Super Bowl champs, do you think you'd be able to do that? Squat two Super Bowl champs? Super Bowl champions. Yeah, we have two Super Bowl champions amongst us here. If they were to both get on your – now, they would be going chest to back. They'd be on top of your – I don't think that would even work, right, guys?

1:38:14James Winston:I think it could work.

1:38:15Pat McAfee:He would be one of the guys. And then this guy, A.K.

1:38:19James Winston:I haven't talked for a lot back here. Those guys are happy, you guys. Wow, you haven't seen the other one. Have you seen this guy?

1:38:24Rob Woodson:This guy's got four feet ponds. No, you know the other one.

1:38:29Terry Cole:This guy. Do you think you could squat this man? Squat this guy? This guy's like 600 pounds. Holy shit. He's arm out. He's a massive guy. I'm not going to break my legs. I'm not warmed up yet. Not warmed up yet. Break his legs. I've got to warm up. I've got to warm up. I've got to warm up, guys. I've got to warm up.

1:38:51Rob Woodson:Thank you so much for what you just provided to me for the rest of my life. Oh, AQ. Thanks, buddy. Have a good one. Thank you. We almost got it.

1:39:01Terry Cole:You don't just stop lifting 600 pounds, stop warming up. You gotta warm up. You gotta warm up.

1:39:07AJ Hawk:What if I told you that earlier today that the guy that you just called 600 pounds was on his back and he squatted him? We were trying to.

1:39:15Terry Cole:That's absolutely nonsense. It was rehearsal. We got it on film. I did not say that.

1:39:19James Winston:You squatted that guy? I actually didn't get to a squat. He fell off like that. With those legs? Not the 600 pounds, yeah. It was tough. Damn. Man, we're trying to rehearse a little bit in case this actually happened.

1:39:29Terry Cole:That's impressive.

1:39:30Pat McAfee:Thank you.

1:39:31Terry Cole:I love it.

1:39:31Rob Woodson:Got to start losing some weight.

1:39:33Pat McAfee:Yeah. Thank you. All right, well Thor, thank you so much for joining us. Did I pronounce the name right? Half-bore Julius Bjornsson?

1:39:40Terry Cole:It's pretty accurate, yeah. Boom. Half-bore Julius Bjornsson. Hey, thanks for having me, man. Thanks for having me.

1:39:47Pat McAfee:Thank you. Good luck at the enhanced games. Yeah, I appreciate that. And we can follow along and watch. Jesus Christ.

1:39:53Rob Woodson:What's up, dude? What's up, man?

1:39:55Justin Gaethje:Big his hands on.

1:39:57AJ Hawk:Huge, yeah, like Lesnar kind of. All right, all right.

1:39:59Rob Woodson:Yeah, you got me.

1:40:00AJ Hawk:Hey, in Game of Thrones, did you actually crush a human's head or?

1:40:05Terry Cole:I mean, with like two takes, one take with his face. He was like vacuuming off to squeeze more and then he had the fake face.

1:40:12Brock Purdy:Yeah.

1:40:13Pat McAfee:How much fun was that? How much, because obviously as soon as your name is mentioned, it's that first thing. What a run, what an incredible run. Enjoyed it all, meant for it, perfect for the job, you think?

1:40:23Terry Cole:Yeah, it was fun, it was fun. It was my first big acting gig though, so I remember I was walking upstairs before, there's a big circle there, everyone watching, there's a big crowd, all the big actors, everyone is there. And I'm there in my early 20s, fucking pee my pants, I'm so nervous. Walking up in this big armor, I'm like, if I fuck up, everyone's gonna fucking hate me. So I was really nervous, I was really nervous, because I didn't want to fuck up. But thankfully, thankfully, I was able to manage and do an okay job, I think. Yeah, you nailed it.

1:40:58Pat McAfee:That crushed it. Absolutely nailed it. Have you ever done professional wrestling or anything like that? Ever think about it?

1:41:03Terry Cole:Never, never. I mean, you think about a lot of things in your life. You think, yeah, what if you did this or that or that? But yeah, I'm still grateful for my journey. I picked a good career and I'm happy with where my life is off. But yeah, of course, you think about like whatever did that or that. Now anything's still possible. Whatever did NFL, you know, and fuck some guys up.

1:41:21Rob Woodson:Boom. Yeah. Still possible. Still good. Still all these things are still possible.

1:41:26Terry Cole:Man, I'm 37 years old. So? Still possible? Yeah, you're fucking four. Left tackle.

1:41:33Pat McAfee:And we got crazy. Chip yard. And also with the science you're talking about, maybe you're able to navigate around some of the tests, you know what I'm saying?

1:41:39Terry Cole:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe I can, yeah, that's good, that's good, yeah.

1:41:45Pat McAfee:We appreciate you, you're the man, ladies and gentlemen. Halfmore Julius Bjornsson.

1:41:51Terry Cole:After Julius Pearson. Thank you. Yes.

1:41:55AJ Hawk:Julius. Thank you. Yes, seriously. You got me. Yeah, yeah, you did. Yeah, you got me. Thank you.

1:42:01Rob Woodson:Thank you. Appreciate it. You're the man. Beast. He got me just like Adrian Pearson got me. Yeah, you got me. No chance.

1:42:09Pat McAfee:I had to get in. You gotta get web to web. You're all deep. On the massive hand human beings. Cuz if you're not, they just got the whole thing. And they know it. They're having a little moment with you right there. He knew. How's it going, little guy? That's what they're saying. You got to know that whenever you're doing it. So next time you go in there, and also you have to set up the next attempt. They're not trying to get another one. So you got to let them know naturally that you're trying to get back in there. Web to web. Because if not, now granted, if you lose that again.

1:42:44AJ Hawk:Yeah, never again. He was a real big stare into your eyes handshake guy. He was.

1:42:48Pat McAfee:So big.

1:42:48AJ Hawk:Had to do it. Felt like that was on purpose. I turned him over, hand-wise.

1:42:52Pat McAfee:Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to be joined by somebody that I think we've all kind of seen grow up. And we all are massive, massive fans of. Ladies and gentlemen, hailing from the beautiful country of Australia. Son of icon.

1:43:10Rob Woodson:On his way to be his own damn legend. Ladies and gentlemen, Robert Irwin. Yeah! Robert Irwin!

1:43:21Rob Woodson:Robert. Yeah, yeah.

1:43:23Brock Purdy:How you doing? Great to see you. Thank you, I appreciate you. Hell yeah, mate. You sicko. He's sick son of a bitch.

1:43:30Justin Gaethje:Robert, Robert. Snakes out, huh? Right next to - This is Priscilla. Priscilla. Is she cool? Look at that. Yeah, she is very nice. Yeah, yeah, right there.

1:43:41Pat McAfee:You want me to put the headset on? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There we go.

1:43:45Justin Gaethje:Yes. There we go. Perfect, perfect.

1:43:49Pat McAfee:I've seen you work the mic back in Australia at the, I forget that saying. The Australia Zoo. Yeah, yeah, that's where I am, mate. I'm so impressed by your charisma, your moxie, not just because, you know, you come from a family of that, but it feels like you have the same genuine love that we've seen from your family for Animals Forever. Thank you. Feels like you're perfect for the position you're in. Do you agree with that?

1:44:07Justin Gaethje:Oh, mate, absolutely. I mean, I'm just born into it. Like, I grew up at Australia Zoo. I grew up catching crocodiles and wrangling snakes. And, like, it's such a privilege for me, you know, to get to continue a legacy, a legacy that my dad started, you know. He was, I think, the most passionate human being in the entire world. And now to, you know, kind of pick up where he left off is such a privilege. But, you know, he also loved to be in the NFL, mate, 100%. Oh, yeah. I love that. I see that's what we're talking about. I mean, anyone who can wrangle a crocodile, I can give a good tackle. Oh, yeah.

1:44:39Pat McAfee:So on that note, I think your family actually is a representative of Australia to a lot of Americans. You hear of Crocodile Dundee, who's obviously one. Steve Irwin and the Irwin family, certainly another. So I think the way we have viewed Australians is basically through your family. On that note, we've all now got a chance to meet more through football because guys coming in from Ozzy Rose football. It feels like your country is filled with people that would love ball, but also great times. Your country is filled with great people with great times.

1:45:08Justin Gaethje:100%, you know, and, like, we are, like, the most avid sporting nation. Like, when we get behind a sport, we are 100%. Oh, look, she's coming up. She's starting to put a little bit of constriction in there. It's all right. No, we're good. We're good. But, yeah, like. Yeah, it's all right. I can't breathe, man. We're fine. We're fine. As long as you can still breathe, it's all good. She's non-venomous. So, we're good. That's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not about that. It's about the hug, isn't it? That's the one. But, yeah, you know, like, do you want to hold it?

1:45:35Pat McAfee:No. Yes, he does. Priscilla seems a bit active. I don't think that is really my - Are you sure? You sure? Come on, man. Put her on the helmet. How old is Priscilla? How old is Priscilla? Put on the disc. How old is Priscilla? What am I doing?

1:45:46Justin Gaethje:On my hands? Just put your hands out like that. There we go. She's gonna hang on to you just like a tree. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at, you're doing it. You got it. How good is that? Yeah. You just held a snake.

1:45:59Pat McAfee:Yes, I did. Hold on. Look at that. I don't know how long this is gonna last. I want to make sure I get a good shot of this because it's never going to happen again.

1:46:04Justin Gaethje:Whoa. Mate, wildlife warrior right here. Check that out. You want me to take her? You good? All right, all right. I got it. Ready? Ready? Let's go under. There we go. Nice. Well done. There he is. Well done. Yeah. How do you feel? Good, right? You got it.

1:46:21Pat McAfee:I feel very thankful it wasn't around my neck, you know, because most people that do the shows, whenever this was obviously pitched, I knew I immediately have to do something with Snake. That's kind of how this whole thing goes.

1:46:31Justin Gaethje:You know, she's she's going in my shirt. This is a bit. Hang on a minute. I have to get this out. Wait. How do you travel with? We saw we saw in Dancing with the Stars.

1:46:40AJ Hawk:You're Jack, though.

1:46:41Justin Gaethje:So that's fine. Oh, cheers, mate.

1:46:44AJ Hawk:Yeah, you did great. Woo. You did it. Yeah, you did it.

1:46:50Pat McAfee:You are incredible, though, honestly. And I think you represent a continent and a country filled with people that will love football, which is why we are incredibly pumped that it was announced that the NFL is going to Australia. but we haven't known who's playing. I believe you are the only human maybe on earth. Yeah, you do. Look at those eyebrows. Good eyebrows. You see that? You're the only one that knows who's playing in the game. Do you want to make the announcement of who's playing in Australia?

1:47:12Justin Gaethje:Mate, I would be honored. Well, yes, of course, the NFL is coming down under, down to Melbourne. Now, we know that the Rams are playing, right? But what we don't know is who their opponent will be. But I can say for the first time they are going to be going up against, well, we're here in San Francisco. It can only be the 49ers. That's going to be a good game. Let's go. That's going to be a good game. The vision game. That's going to be a good game.

1:47:43Pat McAfee:Great coaches, great teams, great environments, great cultures, great everything. And whenever this happens down there, the travel in and out, the timing of it all, has that all been figured out, the logistics? because I think we try to get into Aussie rules football.

1:47:56Justin Gaethje:Yes, we do.

1:47:57Pat McAfee:But like 3.30, 4 a.m. games, tough to kind of get in with. With Australia, with the NFL, how has that kind of been working out and how big do we think it can get over there?

1:48:06Justin Gaethje:Oh, I think it's going to be huge. I mean, the love for NFL is real in Australia. I mean, like my whole family, my dad grew up playing footy. You know, that was it 100%. And when you start to see people like, you know, I was just hanging out with Jordan Melata, you know what I mean? And he was the first Aussie to win a Super Bowl. You look at these guys that are now from Australia leading the charge, making it big in American football, gridiron as we call it in Australia. I love that. It's like, wow, now all these kids growing up go, I've got a chance. I could play in the NFL. And as an Australian, that means a lot.

1:48:41Justin Gaethje:And so to have a game right there, I think it's going to inspire the next generation of Aussies to come in, join their mates over here in the States, and give them a run for their money.

1:48:51Pat McAfee:Join the mates in the States. Yes.

1:48:55Justin Gaethje:Yeah, I love what we're doing.

1:48:57Pat McAfee:Good. You are the perfect person for all of this, and I'm thankful for that. How old are you?

1:49:01Justin Gaethje:I'm 22, mate. Jesus. 22. Good for you. Just getting started. Just getting started. How old's Priscilla? Priscilla, she's still young. She's still got a lot of growing to do. She'll get even bigger. Oh, yeah, she'll get real big. And when she constricts at full size, you know about it.

1:49:19James Winston:AJ has a question for you. As far as that goes with the animals, Are there any animals that I guess, now that you dislike, that you don't really handle as much as others? Maybe that may be dangerous. You know, hey, we don't know. We'll stay away from this guy.

1:49:31Justin Gaethje:Put it this way. Like, if I'm introducing someone to a snake, like you just held Priscilla, right? I would not be doing that with a venomous snake. In Australia, we have the top 11 most venomous snakes on Earth. We've got a snake called the inland taipan, the fierce snake. And they get this drop for drop more venom than any other snake on the planet. They are so toxic. It's wild. But they're the most cool, calm, and collected snake. Still wouldn't put one around your neck, though. But, you know, it's like anything. It's like the difference between riding a bike or riding a motorcycle on the road.

1:50:04Justin Gaethje:It's like the difference between, you know, playing a game of backyard footy in the Super Bowl. With wildlife, it's the same thing. This little sweetheart, I can give her a little kiss and it's fine. Inland Taipan, I'd be dead. So, you know, those are the sort of things you've got to look at. Those are the sort of things you've got to weigh up, you know. But I'm excited to introduce the players when they come to Australia for this game. I want to get them into Australia Zoo for crocodiles. Yeah, let's keep them away from the inland typhans. Get in with the typhans. Yeah.

1:50:32Pat McAfee:Let's keep our guys away from this, please. We would like this to continue. They'll be fine. Bosa versus alligator. Crocodile. Crocodile.

1:50:39Justin Gaethje:Do you guys have alligators too? I got alligators and crocodiles. But the crocodiles are the Aussie ones. They're the Australian animal. And, mate, they are wild. Holy moly.

1:50:47Pat McAfee:Tell me about kangaroos. There's obviously a lot of conversation about human versus kangaroo in a fist fight.

1:50:52Justin Gaethje:Okay, right. Now, see, here's the thing. So kangaroos, right, people think they like box, right? Well, what they do is it's actually about the kick. So like that. Exactly. So when they're like fighting for territory, like, yep, they balance on their tail. What? Yeah. They grab each other with their hands, and then they're like, boom, like that, with that kick. So, mate, I mean, I'd love to see one get a field goal. Imagine that. Oh, big time punt. Yeah, yeah, big punt, 100%.

1:51:19Pat McAfee:Yeah, okay, so do we think fighting, you'd stand a chance if you were to fight a...

1:51:23Justin Gaethje:I would, you know what I would do? I would just not instigate a fight. I would, like, stay, let him be, 100%, because they fight amongst themselves. But as long as you give them a bit of space, a kangaroo doesn't want anything to do with you. You'll be fine. Like, it's not something when you arrive in Australia, it shouldn't be, like, a concern. You're not like, oh, man, I've got to get ready to size up a roo. You'll be fine. You'll be right. You never know.

1:51:46Thor Bjornsson:A ball of roo. Yeah, what about spaghetti bowl of root? Is that a delicacy, spaghetti bowl of root? No, no, no, it is not.

1:51:53Justin Gaethje:No.

1:51:54Thor Bjornsson:We've been lied to. No, no, no, no. Goddamn Boobie Brothers said that spaghetti.

1:51:59Pat McAfee:I'm telling you, people back in Australia are going to watch this. We have respect. Please know we have a lot of respect for you. I was in Brisbane for like eight days. Loved it. Awesome, man. I've only sang its praises, but we do not know much, I think.

1:52:11Rob Woodson:I think that is what we just learned of Aussie rules football. It's really far away. In 2020. We just learned of this game in 2020.

1:52:17Pat McAfee:It's like we started watching it. It's like, this is awesome. And then I went to a Brisbane Lions game whenever I was over there.

1:52:22Justin Gaethje:Oh, AFL.

1:52:23Pat McAfee:It was like a soccer vibe. Wow. With the intensity. Because it's happening all over the place. And there's huge shots. Everybody's boozing. It was like, I think these people would love the NFL the more they get introduced to it. Michael Dixon you talk about. Punter for the Seattle Seahawks. Him and Darren Bennett. Obviously Darren Bennett back in the day for the Chargers. But the punting position because of Aussie Rules football is like a great introduction to the country. And I think it's only going to continue to grow. The timing is the crazy thing. Go ahead.

1:52:46Brock Purdy:Yeah, and recently, just on the kind of topic of sports, especially with next week and the week after, Ray Gunn, the breakdancer from Australia. Ray Gunn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ray Gunn with the moves.

1:52:59Justin Gaethje:You know, I was like, it's about time someone brings in Australian wildlife to Olympic dancing. I was like, yeah, go. Let's get it, 100%. When I did Dancing with the Stars, I was just following Ray Gunn's league. That's all I was doing.

1:53:13Pat McAfee:Tell me about you just crushing that, because there's a guy in the back, Kevin Fox. Yeah. Foxy, you might be able to. There he is right there. There he is. Foxy, he was pumped that you were coming on because of what you did. Ain't that right, Foxy?

1:53:24James Winston:Robert, from beginning to end, you were absolutely outstanding on Dancing with the Stars. It was such a pleasure to watch you.

1:53:31Rob Woodson:And the fact that you put your name in the same sentences, Raygun, is disgusting. You're a 10 times thousand. Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's an Olympian.

1:53:41Justin Gaethje:That's an Olympian. She's a breaker. Well, listen, thank you very much. That was the craziest thing. To get to be part of that was wild. See, I was partnering up with Whitney Carson, right? She was the professional dancer I was with. Last season, she was partnering with Danny Amendola. And it was interesting to hear about how, like for him, he was saying, it's like training for a Super Bowl. It's like training for a big game. I heard it's very grueling. It's a grueling thing. And I feel like I have new respect now for the guys that are getting in there and training for a massive sporting event.

1:54:12Justin Gaethje:You know, that's what it feels like. But to represent Australia, to represent wildlife conservation, which is what I'm all about, Australia Zoo, my home over there, it was such a privilege. But, man, like, I didn't know I could dance. I was a terrible dancer. But now I feel like I can hold my arm. Yeah, you can. You're a showman.

1:54:30Pat McAfee:You're a showman. You're confident. You're comfortable. We'll continue digitally as we sign off here on TV. We'll be back from Radio Row tomorrow. That's Robert Irwin. What a stud. We'll see you. Goodbye. Okay, we're still live.

1:54:40Justin Gaethje:Oh, awesome. You know that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, professional.

1:54:43Pat McAfee:We just dropped off a TV. 100%. And everybody's, we're still on it. I got you.

1:54:48Justin Gaethje:I got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:54:50Pat McAfee:What's some Australian lingo that we need to start? There's one word.

1:54:54Justin Gaethje:There's a very important one. It rhymes with a C. I don't know. It starts with a C.

1:55:03Rob Woodson:It rhymes with punt.

1:55:05Justin Gaethje:No, no, I'm thinking of a different one. Okay, different word there. Okay, it starts with a C, right, but it's crikey. Okay. We know crikey. That's the one. All right, okay, here we go. We gotta give it a go crikey. Right on the count of three, go one, two, three, and you gotta go crikey.

1:55:21Rob Woodson:Okay.

1:55:21Justin Gaethje:We'll let you do it first and then we'll follow up. And then you guys give it a go, right? Ready? Crikey. Yeah. Okay, go, go.

1:55:27Rob Woodson:One, two, three.

1:55:29Justin Gaethje:Crikey. Okay, yeah, that was good. That was good. Okay, so we don't have to do it again.

1:55:34Rob Woodson:That's good. That was perfect. Yeah, that other C one. Yeah, one, two, three. No, go first.

1:55:39Justin Gaethje:You go first.

1:55:40Rob Woodson:You're going to burst.

1:55:41Justin Gaethje:I'm out.

1:55:45Justin Gaethje:What else? Like, mate. Everyone is mate, right? Like, that's like a version of a buddy.

1:55:51James Winston:Unless they're your, you know.

1:55:53Justin Gaethje:Yeah, no, that's. I don't know where we're going here. Yeah, no, everyone's like, oh, yeah, g'day, mate. G'day. G'day, mate. G'day. How you going, mate? How you going? How you going? How you going? How you going? But it's like one word. How you going, mate? I like that. Yeah, that's it. That's good. That's good. See, I feel cool.

1:56:11Pat McAfee:Your guys' country, cool, I think.

1:56:13Justin Gaethje:Yeah, we're legit. We're pretty cool, mate.

1:56:15Pat McAfee:And everybody's pretty jacked. I was over there in Brisbane. I didn't see many out of shape. I think everybody.

1:56:19Justin Gaethje:We're such an outdoor country. We're all about hike and bike and surf. Well, for me, catch crocodiles. So we're all really into that kind of thing. Okay, now on that note. Yes, on that note. Yes, yes.

1:56:33Pat McAfee:The head's up here.

1:56:34Justin Gaethje:Oh, you want me to show you? You want me to show you how to catch a crocodile? Yeah, on the snake. Show us on the snake.

1:56:39James Winston:I see actually the handle was getting kind of nervous. That's all right.

1:56:42Justin Gaethje:It's at Priscilla. You can hold her while I do this. Thank you for doing that, AJ. Go ahead, mate. There you go. I don't mean to hold her. Thank you, AJ. Just with a flat hand just like that. That's absolutely - You're a tree, AJ. You got it. You're a tree. You got it. Robert, Robert, Robert, Robert, Robert, please. One time for us.

1:56:57Rob Woodson:I feel like you've done it. I have her. AJ, AJ.

1:57:00James Winston:Where does she dump and pee? I don't want to be on that.

1:57:02Rob Woodson:On your hand right now. Are you doing it? It's already happening.

1:57:05James Winston:Am I good like this? I see the handle is right back here. You're perfect. It's great. You got this.

1:57:09Justin Gaethje:All right, so let's say you got a crocodile right here, right? Hold on, let's make sure we got to give you this. Yeah, okay, so here's the crocodile. Do you want Connor to lay? Right? Yeah, you want me to lay down?

1:57:20Rob Woodson:Please.

1:57:20Justin Gaethje:Get in there. Get in there. Get in there.

1:57:23Rob Woodson:Crocodile Connor here. Okay. Face the other way. Face the other way. Other way. Other way. On your stomach. Make sure you do a death roll.

1:57:30Justin Gaethje:Okay, so here's the crocodile. He might death roll on your stomach. I'm lining up. Someone's going to have to back me up on this. Okay, okay. Get in here. Yeah. Okay. All right. So I'm rescuing a crocodile. Yes, you are. Thank you for doing that. This is a very important job. When you back me up, this is his tail. You got to make sure he doesn't death roll. All right, ready? One, two, three, jump, go. Get him, get him, get him. Get him, Tony. He's rolling. Get the tail under control. He's got a triple fight, Connor. He's got glasses. Triple fight, Connor.

1:57:56Brock Purdy:Oh, no. Come on, Con.

1:57:58Rob Woodson:Conkey. Connor, bite him. We're going to take a break. We're gonna take a break. We appreciate everybody.

1:58:06James Winston:This poor guy.

1:58:10Rob Woodson:Rob, you're the best. That was a great tackle. Greatest human of all time. Good tackle. Greatest human. You're the greatest human. This is an American crocodile. This is an American crocodile.

1:58:18James Winston:You can't tame him.

1:58:20Rob Woodson:I can't.

1:58:21James Winston:Line ain't supposed to be tamed. Yes, thank you so much. Thank you for that. She was great. Robert. She did great. Robert, you have no idea.

1:58:29Justin Gaethje:He really went after him. Good job, mate. I've never had a croc put up a fight like that.

1:58:36Brock Purdy:Don't you forget it, Robby. You can't catch me, bitch. It's America. It's America, not Melbourne, motherfucker. His tail was so strong.

1:58:45AJ Hawk:His tail was so strong. His tail was so strong. I tried. Yo, we forgot. We didn't throw the towel over his eyes. Yeah, that was the problem. That was the problem. Dang it. I'll come more prepared next time. Okay, what else? What else?

1:59:00Pat McAfee:We get, so we gotta go from the back obviously, unless it's completely out of control. If we get bit by a snake, obviously we're tying a belt above it.

1:59:10Justin Gaethje:That's the right, so compression bandage. If you get bitten here, you wanna like start at the bite site, wrap all the way up the limb, keep it immobilized. Okay. And the venom will not travel throughout you. Don't suck it out, it doesn't work. What? That doesn't work, that's a myth.

1:59:23Matt Ryan:Are you supposed to pee on it? That's two moves. You don't pee on it. No, you're a jellyfish. That's a jellyfish.

1:59:29Justin Gaethje:That's a jellyfish. Okay, you do pee on that, though. I mean, you can. Well, you can pee on anything. Yes. That's the spirit. Will it help? No, that's not really. That's the spirit. I don't know. That's not, okay. That's not the medical advice, I would say. Jellyfish is a whole other thing. But when it comes to snakes, what you want to do is you want to make sure, wherever they've bitten, that you be still and you wrap it, right? And then you get to hospital very fast. And you'll be fine. You'll be fine.

1:59:56Pat McAfee:I'm going to stay away from the inland Thai pen. That's the one. I'm going to stay away from that one. Robert, I'll tell you what. Maybe the greatest performance we've ever had.

2:00:03Brock Purdy:You should move to Indy. We'd love to have you on the show.

2:00:08Rob Woodson:I'm ready to go. Thank you so much. NFL Australia.

2:00:13Pat McAfee:Los Angeles Rams. San Francisco 49ers. What city is it happening in?

2:00:19Justin Gaethje:Melbourne. Melbourne, Australia. Here we go.

2:00:23AJ Hawk:MGC? Is that what it's called?

2:00:24Justin Gaethje:The MCG. MCG. That's the one. The cricket grounds. The cricket ground. Huge. It's going to go off like a frog in a sock. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yup. Let's go.

2:00:32Pat McAfee:You're the best.

2:00:33Rob Woodson:Ladies and gentlemen, Robert Irwin. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You might be the greatest human of all time. Oh, man. Yeah.

2:00:41AJ Hawk:Sorry for messing up your hair. Thank you, buddy. You'll never catch me. Thank you.

2:00:44James Winston:You'll never catch me. Do we have a replay of that? Connor was rolling his date or death roll. He was not prepared for it. No.

2:00:54Rob Woodson:I looked over here. There's people lined up. There's people doing newscasts.

2:01:03AQ Shipley:I'm so happy he battled.

2:01:06Brock Purdy:He battled. He's not ready. I looked up and I saw this guy's not ready. I'm about to roll the fuck out of this ground. I didn't expect Tony. Once I felt another body, I was like, I got a lot of it harder.

2:01:25Rob Woodson:As one crocodile would do. I was the backup. Yeah, I need to take my game to another level. Let's get to a break. We apologize to whatever. Look at this. I mean, they're shooting with us in the backdrop. I mean, that is like an actual.

2:01:37AJ Hawk:I made eye contact with Pat. Robert Irwin's down here. I made eye contact with Pat as I was on the ground. I lost it. I couldn't do it anymore.

2:01:44Rob Woodson:It was hard to. It was hard. I just like look over. I had to throw my glasses. I did, I saw that. I said, Crocodiles got glasses. I was so into it. It was a real bad. Yeah, there you go. All right, you're gonna sit right here. Okay, yeah. Man. Tone, get - Oh, good, it's going backwards. Tone, you got so prepared. Yeah. He was laying on his side. What crocodile would be on his side? I don't know. Confused by that too.

2:02:12Brock Purdy:Never saw it coming. Man, you better bring the fucking - body when you're coming for it. He's dead right there. All right.

2:02:24Rob Woodson:Mike flew off. Let's take a break, please.

2:02:26Brock Purdy:Should have goosed you.

2:02:28Rob Woodson:That would have stopped the roll. That might have stunned me. Like a flashback. One of the greatest crocodiles I've ever seen. One and O in the week, you know?

2:02:38Brock Purdy:As a croc. That's all that matters. In the trenches.

2:04:31Pat McAfee:Football! It is the greatest. We're so incredibly lucky that football is celebrated all week out here in the Bay and across the country as the biggest game of the year will take place on Sunday as the Seahawks and the Patriots will do battle while we here in a convention center, the Musconi Center here in San Francisco, will talk about a lot of things that do not have anything to do with this particular game, but certainly about ball as a whole. We're lucky to be a part of this celebration. Thankful to be out here. We hope you can feel it wherever the hell you are watching. The Talks with Ted was here at Boston Conner and at Ty Schmidt.

2:05:02Pat McAfee:One half of the hammer. Cowboys AP Tone is here. nine year NFL vet looking so cool. So cool. Darius J Butler is here. Super champion AJ Hawk is here and ladies and gentlemen joining us right now is retired Marine. Ooh-rah.

2:05:15AJ Hawk:Ooh-rah. Ooh-rah. Ooh-rah.

2:05:19Pat McAfee:Never mind. We will see him in a matter of moments. Ladies and gentlemen joining us now for the good of Toyota-thon. Oh, okay. An absolute San Francisco legend. A man who goes from Mr. Irrelevant last pick of the draft to holy hell. This man is the key to the future of one of the most storied franchises in NFL history. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy.

2:05:41Brock Purdy:Yeah, Brock.

2:05:45Pat McAfee:Come on, Brock. Good to see you, Brock. I was wondering. Cool jacket. Yeah, we didn't know. So cool. Yeah. We didn't know what he was here for. And then we saw that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. That's a good jacket. That's a good jacket. And that is like kind of in the Brock Purdy line of clothes that you would wear right on a regular basis.

2:06:03Daniel Lurie:Yeah, 100%. Yeah, I'm going to go get whatever my wife gives me, but when it's got Toyota on it, it makes it even better.

2:06:09Rob Woodson:Wasn't there a John Deere deal you did as well? 100%. Still got it, baby. That's what we knew. Yeah, we knew.

2:06:14Daniel Lurie:Bleed green.

2:06:16Rob Woodson:Oh. Amen. You're damn right. Amen. I mean, some people come in with Kubota and the other end.

2:06:21AJ Hawk:Not on this show.

2:06:22Pat McAfee:No, not on this show ever. That's why when you signed with John Deere, we thought it was a big deal. They don't just put that deer on anybody, and obviously your story is one that is incredible. Why Toyota-thon? Is it just because you dominate during those times of the season?

2:06:33Daniel Lurie:Yeah, holiday season, good football, and then, you know, some great deals with some Toyotas, man. So, Toyotathon.

2:06:38Pat McAfee:What's your favorite Toyota that you drive around? Rob Ford, Camry, what is the –

2:06:43Daniel Lurie:Oh, yeah. I mean, you can't go wrong with just about any of them, but I think – Well said, man. Well done.

2:06:49Pat McAfee:I drive the trio. Sequoia is the one.

2:06:51Daniel Lurie:Oh, yeah. Sequoia, Tondros. Sienna, Camry. That's right. Okay. You guys are on it.

2:06:55Pat McAfee:We love Toyotathons. Yeah, man. It's a good time. It's a great time for the year. Let's talk about you becoming a fixture of this city and obviously Santa Clara and everything over here. You go from Iowa State, irrelevant, to the superstardom out here now. I assume life's vastly different for you here in San Francisco now. And what is it like being a made man in a city that is so, like, storied with history whenever it comes to football?

2:07:18Daniel Lurie:Oh, yeah. It's been awesome. You know, obviously coming from, you know, Arizona to Ames, Iowa, to now San Francisco where the history of sports here, man, with football, basketball, baseball, you name it, and just how welcoming they've been. And obviously you come in and there's a high standard. You've got to win and do your job. So, I mean, obviously with Shanahan and the boys, I've had a lot of good guys around me to help me where I'm at. And obviously I want to, you know, bring number six in, you know, for the Niners and the organization. So, I mean, that's the goal. But everyone's great here.

2:07:49Daniel Lurie:Love it.

2:07:50Pat McAfee:Okay, you get hurt. Mack Jones comes in, plays pretty well. I'm going to be honest. We are a part of it. I don't know if you heard it from us, but I don't like that we were because I feel like we were a part of the Purdy train very early in this entire thing. Mac Jones comes out, has success. I start thinking to myself, I think a lot of people start going, hold on, is Kyle Shanahan about to do it again? Because that was who he initially wanted to draft, yada, yada, do it. You come in after that, and it felt like your play was the best that you have ever. Is that an accurate depiction? Like, why do you think whenever you came back in there, it was a different level?

2:08:18Pat McAfee:Sitting back, rehabbing injury helped you? Like, why do you think you kind of hit your stride in the way that you did?

2:08:23Daniel Lurie:Yeah, I mean, you know, even before the season, like I wanted to come in and play my best brand of ball. You know, year four, I felt like, you know, pretty hungry to do that. And, you know, we go into Seattle week one and win the game and obviously deal with the toe thing. It's like, come on. But I don't know, man, maybe that was God's way of, you know, having me sit back and see, you know, the big picture with everything and see another quarterback have Matt come in and how he ran the system and learn from him. And, you know, and how Kyle calls plays. Like, I thought it was pretty good for me to sit back.

2:08:51Daniel Lurie:Obviously, I wanted to be out there and to help my team win. But then when I did come back, it was like, you know, the chip's back on the shoulder, man. and you got to go and you don't know if tomorrow is ever going to be granted, man. You got to go and take it every game, every week. So, I don't know. I feel like I just came back, played hungry, and it was a good little stretch we had.

2:09:07Pat McAfee:I like to get a perspective shift in that particular way as opposed to like a full season. You get a few weeks where you kind of, you know, are excited to be back out. What is it about you in this system? You know, because we act like we talk about it. Well, it's your decision making. It's your accuracy. Like, why do you think you fit so well into the system? We asked Christian McCaffrey the same question earlier, and he talked about how everybody blocks downfield. So for you, why do you think the Shanahan system is so good for you?

2:09:27Daniel Lurie:I feel like Kyle does a really good job with teaching the quarterback that his system, there's a way to playing it. You play on time. You play within a rhythm. And more than anything, he teaches the quarterback to play efficient. If it's not there, on your second hit, you're back here to your outlet. Stay on the field. Stay ahead of the chains. I don't know. So he's definitely helped me take my game to the next level as a quarterback and how I see the game. I don't know, man. And I think the play caller and the quarterback, those are probably the two most vital things on offense when it comes to leading the offense.

2:09:58Daniel Lurie:There's so many other things that go into it. But having him has helped me come into and be a professional quarterback.

2:10:05Pat McAfee:What are you, year four, you just said there. When Patrick Mahomes went on the barbershop, he said it wasn't until like two and a half years or three years or something. I forget. When he started understanding what the hell the defenses are doing. For you, it feels like as a seventh-round pick, let alone the last pick, you're going to have to have very elite other things to keep you around. Was it understanding what's going on defensive side? How quickly were you able to figure that out? And was there a moment where you're like, okay, I think I got a pretty good grasp on what defense coordinators are going to do to me?

2:10:32Daniel Lurie:I feel like that's still a thing. You know, I'm learning and trying to get a better grasp on. But I will say, like, you know, when I first got in, it was all about, like, you know, our plays, how Kyle coaches the quarterback, playing on time. And it didn't matter what coverage it was. I know that. I know what the play call is. I know I'm throwing this on plant. My first hitch is here. My second hitch is here. So it was almost like playing robotic, but it was good. It gave me like a guideline to play in. But then as I played, it's like, all right, I need to start understanding coordinators and why they're calling coverages and expect when we cross the 50 here on second and long, you're going to get some kind of pressure.

2:11:05Daniel Lurie:So be ready to throw hot. Like there's things like that that I can start piecing together. And Kyle can help remind me throughout the week. I feel like, yeah, in year four, I had a pretty good feel on it. Third downs, red zone, different coverages. Like I feel like I had a better feeling of it. Obviously, defenses nowadays, man, they're going to be doing so much. You guys probably saw that Kirk Cousins thing. You're not always going to know what they're in, and that's props to them. The coordinators are drawing up stuff, but at the end of the day, how can I be efficient, have an idea, but within our system, just play quarterback, be on time, and stay on the field.

2:11:37Pat McAfee:How do you feel about the big bad wolf Mike McDonald coming to town? How do you feel about it? Honestly, that defense, they are potentially historic if they go on to win and obviously have a title in it all, and it doesn't feel like that's leaving. Obviously, like Kyle Shanahan with you on the offensive side for the Niners, the offense is never going to leave. The Los Angeles Rams with McVay, we assume offense is going to be great. McDonald, defensive guy with that. How does that feel whenever he shows up, and what is their defense so good at as somebody that played against him, obviously, multiple times?

2:12:04Daniel Lurie:Yeah, man, obviously they're well coached. Got a lot of respect for him, what he did in Baltimore and then coming over here in Seattle. So, I mean, I think just across the board, you know, they're sound. They don't do a lot of exotic things, but what they do, They're very well coached, and, you know, they got a really good front that put pressure on the quarterback, stopped the run, and then on top of that they play obviously predominantly two-shell, so they take away the explosive plays downfield. So it's a really well-coached defense. It is tough. But, I mean, we went in there week one. We got it done.

2:12:35Daniel Lurie:So it's not to say, like, all right, like, oh, my gosh, we can't do it. Definitely can. So they're a rival, but, you know, it's going to be fun going against them year after year.

2:12:43Pat McAfee:I do like you Niners, guys. Yesterday we were talking to Fred. So, yeah, this is an interesting year for the AMC West. Next year will be the exact same as you guys know. What did he say? Anomaly? He said anomaly. Anomaly is an anomaly year. Okay, Niners, though, still. Let's make sure we're – yeah, very good defense. Big Bad Wolf certainly already got – okay, let's make sure we understand what's going on here. AJ has a question for you, Brock.

2:13:02James Winston:Yeah, I wonder, I guess, you and Kyle, how the relationship has grown, but also, like, he's in your home, you know, he's in the speaker. Are you a guy that likes a lot of information? We've talked to different coaches and players. Some guys want to break the huddle super early, and the coach has given him some little tidbits at the line before it cuts off at 15. What's Kyle like with you, and I guess what do you – has that changed over time?

2:13:19Daniel Lurie:Yeah, he's done a good job with – you know, he tells me the plays, you know, and then lets me go. And there's some things, you know, he'll tell me beforehand, like, hey, remind JJ on this to cut down his split and to look hot.

2:13:30James Winston:Is that like as you're walking to the line or you're staying –

2:13:32Daniel Lurie:That's usually pre – that's usually like right before the huddle, like right before I walk in the huddle and say the play. He's done a good job with when I walk up to the line, like not being in my ear, letting me play clear. He's done a really good job with that. And obviously at 15 seconds, play clock, you know, or the headset cuts out. But he's done a good job with that. He is a competitor. So there's times, you know, if I'm making a bad read or don't do my assignment, I'm going to hear it from him, like, immediately.

2:13:54Rob Woodson:Hey, that was the right play call, prick. You had the look, Brock. What are you doing?

2:14:00Daniel Lurie:There's stuff like that. But I appreciate it because, one, he's real about it. Two, he's a competitor. And I'm the same way. Like, I'm telling myself the things that he's yelling at me if I make a mistake. But he also does a good job of, you know, make the right play, make the right read. he builds you up.

2:14:12Pat McAfee:Does he remind you to dance after you score? You were kind of getting it.

2:14:16Daniel Lurie:He reminds me how bad of a dancer I am. No. He's wrong. I don't think that was accurate.

2:14:20Pat McAfee:There was a lot of people trying to bury you because I think you dress the way you dress that they don't think you'd be able to move a little bit.

2:14:25Daniel Lurie:Yeah.

2:14:25Pat McAfee:I feel like you've practiced that and you know it was good. 100%. And you, yeah, okay. Yeah, no, just build off it.

2:14:31Daniel Lurie:Yeah, I think my Dougie can still get a little bit better, but Kyle will say in team meetings, he's like, yeah, Brock's doing whatever that cringe thing is. I'm like, what are you talking about, bro? He's trying to look cool, isn't he? He's trying to look cool.

2:14:41Pat McAfee:Yeah, there are a lot of people saying that. I think you nailed it. D-Bud has the last question for you. We know you've got to get out of here.

2:14:45AQ Shipley:Yeah, what was this week like for you? Preparing for the Super Bowl, obviously. You know, you try to make it like any other game. I asked Matt Ryan earlier what was it like for him preparing with Shanahan. Obviously, you want to be here again. But if you can go back, what was the week like? And was it anything that you would do differently if you end up here again?

2:15:01Daniel Lurie:I thought it was cool. You know, you have two weeks to prep. Usually that first week, you're where you're at. So we were here, and you get all your prep done that week. And so the second week, you can clean up all the little details. But, I mean, you guys see it. There's a lot of media. There's a lot of things that you've got to do throughout the week. So it's a little different. It can throw you off with your prep and whatnot. But I feel like, you know, we did a good job with getting the first week done. And so that week two, you handle all the fiasco, and then you've got to go play on Sunday and perform and win.

2:15:27Daniel Lurie:We went to overtime. Like, you've got to be locked in. So I don't know. Maybe if we get back, I would that second week still have a better idea of handle the media but lock into you know prepping and getting ready for the big game.

2:15:39Pat McAfee:What were you doing saying too much to the media? They were burying you for a long time. You were ass. People were saying you were ass cheeks. There was a lot of ass cheek talk about you.

2:15:48Daniel Lurie:Yeah there was a lot.

2:15:48Pat McAfee:When you were dicing like you were doing shit that we've never seen.

2:15:52Daniel Lurie:Yeah no it's all good.

2:15:55Pat McAfee:Are you an athlete?

2:15:57Daniel Lurie:Yeah. What are we doing?

2:15:58Pat McAfee:Okay this ball state fair type ball it's gonna be much lighter than you expect whenever you put it into your hand. This hoop right over here if you were to make the first shot. You have three attempts. First shot will be a$20 ,000 donation to a charity if you're choosing. Second and third attempts, only$10 ,000. There has been people that have not made a single shot. There's been one person that made it on their first shot. Jamar Chase.

2:16:16AJ Hawk:Okay.

2:16:17Pat McAfee:Fred Warner, worst shot attempt that we've ever seen.

2:16:19AJ Hawk:By far. Christian didn't make any either. Yeah.

2:16:22Pat McAfee:Yeah, the Niners.

2:16:24AQ Shipley:That was for his first. That was so bad.

2:16:26Rob Woodson:Yeah. Yes. So that's the bottom. Okay, that's the bottom. So you should be okay. Don't do that. Did you play hoops in high school?

2:16:33Daniel Lurie:No.

2:16:34Rob Woodson:What?

2:16:35Daniel Lurie:Oh, no.

2:16:36Rob Woodson:Really? I'm not going to be a quarterback. What the fuck? Quarterback, playing baseball.

2:16:39Daniel Lurie:I had to throw. Yeah, do some farming. John Deere, of course. Whoa. All right. Let's do it.

2:16:45Pat McAfee:If you could go back, would you go to Iowa instead of Iowa State?

2:16:48Daniel Lurie:Dude, I don't ever ask that question again. What about Penn State? Would you go to Penn State now? Actually, Pat, real quick. I actually do.

2:16:53Thor Bjornsson:Roll clones. Hey, are you going to be okay that Coach Campbell leaves and the entire program gets gutted on the way out, and there's a chance that Iowa State's never worth a shit. He's a Hawkeye. You're a Hawkeye? Yes. I can tell.

2:17:07Daniel Lurie:Yeah, I know.

2:17:07Thor Bjornsson:You never beat the Hawks in college either. No, I know. Oh, yeah. That is a tough part.

2:17:13Daniel Lurie:I only had two chances at him. Still, like, that's something that I got to live with the rest of my life. I think it's going okay.

2:17:19Thor Bjornsson:Don't listen to this guy. His wife's from eastern Iowa, so I got a lot of respect. You know, you found it.

2:17:24Daniel Lurie:No, that's the best thing I took out of Iowa, that's for sure.

2:17:27Thor Bjornsson:Dang, dude. Yeah, I know, because Ames is such a shit hole. There's no reason for doing that.

2:17:32Daniel Lurie:There's no reason. I could say some stuff, but I'm going to do it.

2:17:35Rob Woodson:That's what it is. I got the cow. It's a cow. It's way out. You're a good man. Toyo-thon, obviously. That's right. Toyo-thon, baby.

2:17:43Pat McAfee:Not to bury the Hawkeyes. Okay. Wave to the kids. Yeah, exactly. You said earlier about something about Ames going through there, and he went as you were talking. It was some of the most disrespectful shit I've ever seen.

2:17:55Rob Woodson:That's a robbery. That's a Hawkeye, though.

2:17:57Daniel Lurie:Yeah, 100%. I mean, Iowa City, like, bro. So, hey, I won't hold it against you because you're not from Iowa,

2:18:04Thor Bjornsson:but Ames compared to Iowa City, brother.

2:18:07Daniel Lurie:Dude, no, that's a real college town, bro. Yeah, so is Iowa City. No, bro.

2:18:12Thor Bjornsson:Ames is a shithole. We don't need to.

2:18:14Rob Woodson:There's no reason for this. Hey, shithole. Cooper Dejean was on the show. He's a good Iowa. He's a hawk. Tyrese Halliburton's shoes are on the show. It's Iowa State. Come on, man. The Hallies. You never pay.

2:18:26Thor Bjornsson:I hate doing it because I like you. I like you, but it's just part of me. You know, it all comes back to you.

2:18:32Rob Woodson:Imagine if you guys had a quarterback. That'd be true. Oh, my God. Dude, it's bad.

2:18:36Daniel Lurie:It's been bad.

2:18:38Thor Bjornsson:CJ Beathard. He wasn't too bad. I love CJ Beathard. He's a great dude.

2:18:42Daniel Lurie:No, I'm just saying, like. Gronowski. Gronowski.

2:18:44Thor Bjornsson:Gronowski. That's all. MVP. You know, you watched him. Gronowski's in the. I'm done with this. No, no, no.

2:18:51Pat McAfee:Okay, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the charity super shot here at Radio Row for Super Bowl 60. Brock Purdy, quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, representing Toyota and Toyotathon.

2:19:01AJ Hawk:Hell yeah.

2:19:02Pat McAfee:Toyotathon really never ends. I thought we were past it. We're still in it?

2:19:07Daniel Lurie:Valentine's Day. We're still in it. Valentine's Day, yeah.

2:19:09Pat McAfee:Yeah, Toyota glow-up classic. On Wednesday of Super Bowl week, Toyota hosted the Cosmic Bowling for Flag Football. I saw that. That was cool. If you do recall, the glow-up classic, a glow-in-the-dark flag football all-star game for standout female athletes from the Bay Area played on the same field as the NFL Pro Bowl games. Shout out to you being a part of this. You played?

2:19:26Daniel Lurie:We did not play, we coached it. So it was amazing. Did your team win? We did. Nice. Nice. Oh, yeah. Nice job, Brock. That's all we do, man.

2:19:34Pat McAfee:Okay, now let's see if you can win$20 ,000 for a charity of your choosing. I believe Kylie Kelsey was also there last night for Toyota Thun. If you're going to make it on the first shot, which not a lot of people have been able to do,$20 ,000. Let's go ahead, Brock.

2:19:47Rob Woodson:Let's go now, Brock.

2:19:48Pat McAfee:Here we go, Brock.

2:19:48Rob Woodson:Here we go now, Brock.

2:19:49Pat McAfee:Put one home here.

2:19:53AJ Hawk:Oh, dang it. I like the aggressive line.

2:19:55Rob Woodson:I like McQuade. McQuaid, McQuaid.

2:19:57Brock Purdy:What a touch by McQuaid. Grab the ball McQuaid. McQuaid. He's grabbing a throw at line. What's this one for?

2:20:03Pat McAfee:Chest pass McQuaid. It's a$10 ,000 shot Brock Purdy. All you gotta do is put that state fair bow into this hoop over there. Jamar Chase also went with the bank. He was a first time maker. I like what you did there.

2:20:14Rob Woodson:Little range check. Oh.

2:20:16Daniel Lurie:You gotta be kidding. You're kind. Man. We got it. I got you, got you.

2:20:19Pat McAfee:Thank you, Brock getting his own rebounds. Of course he crashed the shot.

2:20:25Daniel Lurie:All right.

2:21:23Brock Purdy:You can tell he's got the fire in him, and I just, I was really trying to stoke it. Trying to stoke it. Yeah, yeah, trying to get it out there. I like this guy. I want to see him. I do.

2:21:30Thor Bjornsson:He'll let me like I'm one of his receivers.

2:21:32Rob Woodson:Yes, yeah, like I'm Ayuken. I won't show up. I did forgive him. Oh, my gosh.

2:21:37Brock Purdy:We never asked him. We made it through so many Niners. It was on tip of my tongue.

2:21:40Pat McAfee:Yeah, the electric thing, we didn't even bring it up there with Bob. Yeah, we've done it. Kind of saved him. Kind of saved him. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is obviously one of our favorite comedians and actors and also retired Marines. Here for the Pat Tillman Foundation, ladies and gentlemen, Rob Riggle.

2:21:55Rob Woodson:Yeah, Rob. Yeah, that was a good entrance right there. Yeah. Lot of juice. Lot of juice. Good to see you.

2:22:05Brock Purdy:Good to see you. Good to see you. Rob, how are you? Yeah.

2:22:11Rob Woodson:Sir, thank you so much for having to make sure this is in. Boom, boom, boom.

2:22:18AJ Hawk:Get around here, that is amazing.

2:22:20Pat McAfee:Okay, first of all, we'd like to say thank you for your service to the United States of America. Thank you. I got a chance to go down, I told you this, to Parris Island where Marines are made for the eastern half. Yep, that's not. You want it? I don't. I was just testing.

2:22:32AJ Hawk:It's real. I was just testing it was real. Oh, yeah. It's real. No joke. It's real. What do you think?

2:22:37Pat McAfee:That's legit. What do you think? After feeling it one time, you think it's pretty real? You are gold, though, sir. Just want to let you know that. Parris Island where they make Marines. We got a chance to see it. That was a professional transition. Did you see how it bridged back to?

2:22:49Rob Woodson:Come on, man. Yeah, 0-400. We were up there for lights, lights. Ooh, roll. I know. That's what we're talking about. Hey, Slayer, dude.

2:22:57Pat McAfee:Okay, so as we continue to roll here, thank you for your service. Thank you. But also love the way you transitioned into utilizing what probably made you an excellent Marine into the entertainment industry. We love your style. We appreciate the hell out of you. And also putting on here for ex-NFLer, who we all have massive respect for, and Pat Tillman Foundation. Oh, yeah. We thank you again, Rob. You're one of our favorite humans, so thank you for this. Tell me about the Pat Tillman Foundation, how you're working with them, how you got kind of associated with it.

2:23:21AJ Hawk:Oh, my gosh. Well, thanks for that intro. That was incredibly kind of you. Great golfer, too. Not as good.

2:23:26Rob Woodson:Yeah. Great golfer. Great golfer.

2:23:28AJ Hawk:I've got some help with that. My girlfriend's a professional golfer. She tends to help me with that. Yeah, she's unbelievable at reading the greens. Yeah, she's very good at that. Yeah, she's the best. Yeah, yeah, agreed.

2:23:38Pat McAfee:And everything else.

2:23:38AJ Hawk:The Pat Tillman Foundation, first of all, Well, I was unbelievably honored that they asked me to be their official race starter for Patch Run, which is in his 22nd year, and it's down at Tempe, Arizona on April 11th. You can go to patchrun.org or just ptf.org to learn about the Pat Tillman Foundation, to learn about the run, to learn about the good work that the foundation does, which it really does. I mean, they've got over 1 ,000 scholarships they give out. They have a bunch of work that they do to make the lives of veterans, veteran spouses better. You know, Pat, to me, he personified sacrifice.

2:24:19AJ Hawk:He personified service before self. He did what people talk about, but nobody has the cojones to pull the trigger on. He actually put his money where his mouth is. He believed in this country. He believed what it stood for, and he was willing to walk away from something that was very lucrative to kind of start at a very humble place, going through boot camp, and then achieved becoming an Army Ranger and then going to serve his country. Obviously, unfortunately, he was lost to us. But that kind of leadership, you just don't see every day. It's such a special.

2:25:02Pat McAfee:Yeah, like everybody that signs up for the military has a superhero-like courage, I believe, because you're signing a line saying, I'll go if you have to. But if you already have an NFL career that is looking promising, to then say, no, I'm here for something bigger than that to serve your country, obviously is why we at the NFL are so incredibly proud that Pat Tillman was an NFLer, that he was a part of our league, that everything like that. So I appreciate you showing him respect. And also, you're running this? You're the race starters? So what are we doing? Are we just doing a quick start and then hit him at the golf cart at the end?

2:25:31Pat McAfee:Are you sprinting this thing? What are you doing? I'm going to run it. Okay.

2:25:36AJ Hawk:I'm going to run it.

2:25:37Pat McAfee:How do we feel about the shape? Do we do a lot of running? You look like you're in great shape. I don't think there's Marines that get fat. I don't think that is a thing that Marines really do.

2:25:44AJ Hawk:I hope we don't, but it happens. But I think what generally happens is you're in Marine shape, and then you're just like in, okay, I could do it if someone was chasing me. Yes. And so I think that's where I'm at right now. I'm super lazy right now. I'm going to have to get off my butt and start training for this thing.

2:26:03Pat McAfee:If it means anything, a guy who Thor, the mountain from Game of Thrones. Yes. Strongest man in the world. A man who is considered by the mountain too fat to pick up. He's planning on doing the run as well. He's in the back back there. So, I think we all got time to get in shape to do this.

2:26:18AJ Hawk:Okay, if he's doing it, we got no excuse.

2:26:19Rob Woodson:We got to get out there and shake. Exactly. That is the way to look at it. If he's doing it, anybody can do it. That's right. That's kind of what the mountain said. That's kind of what they said. We got to do it. AJ has a question for you, Rob. What's up?

2:26:32James Winston:Is this weird that your Kansas City Chiefs aren't here? I feel like you're a no Chiefs fan, obviously.

2:26:37AJ Hawk:This is for three years in a row I've been coming here to see the Chiefs. Yeah, the cock of the walk. Cock of the walk, baby. Bell of the ball. It's got to be weird now, right? Yeah, I kind of don't know what to do with myself. It's awkward, I'll be honest. What if it's over forever?

2:26:55Rob Woodson:Oh, no. Uh-oh. No, no, no. No, no, that's crazy. What? No, yeah. Don't put that evil on me, Ricky. The Patriots are back, Rob. The Patriots are back. And they're meaner than ever. Welcome home. Joe Burrow, we talked to Jamar Chase and T. Higgins. They're going to be good again. The Patriots are not back.

2:27:11AJ Hawk:They got back. They got back to the Super Bowl. Uh-oh. Okay. I give total credit where credit is due. They're here. And I wish them the best. Thank you. But back back? 23-year-old quarterback. Okay. I can't argue that. That's a good point. Mike Vrabel.

2:27:28Brock Purdy:I love him, too. Yeah. Josh McDaniels is kind of like the offensive Spagnuolo. Okay, why don't you guys shut up with your good points? All right?

2:27:36AJ Hawk:I'm not hearing that. I'm hearing the Kansas City Chiefs are coming back next year. Patrick Mahomes. Andy Lee. Mahomes has got the enemy back. We got an early lead. We got the enemy back. Mahomes is going to be hungry like the wolf. Oh, God bless. I don't want to get in that path. No. I believe in my heart of hearts that we're going to surround him with all kinds of good weapons. Oh, yeah, the best. Yeah, no, we're not.

2:27:59Brock Purdy:No, Kelsey, though. Yeah, no, Trav, you know.

2:28:02AJ Hawk:Trav hasn't made any official announcements. Agreed. Why does everybody think he's automatically retired? You guys are getting too quick on the guns there. Travis, I like the odds that he comes back. I like the odds.

2:28:13Pat McAfee:Okay, that feels like a big deal, actually, right there. And he also said on New Heights, can't wait to see Biennemi back in the building. So I think that is.

2:28:20AJ Hawk:These little breadcrumbs.

2:28:21Pat McAfee:Oh, Taylor Swift's on this. It's almost like a little. It is. Yeah, how she does the tips and clues. There's a chance, you know, that the Kansas City Chiefs do get back, and we're still in the middle of the dynasty. But it's so hard to get here, man, so hard.

2:28:32AJ Hawk:It's so hard. I think people really underestimate, like, if you make it a Super Bowl, and I'd say people, like, I mean, people who don't have any connection to the game at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They just think whatever. Which exists. It's so hard. It's so hard to show up every year and deliver and deliver and deliver. So, yeah, yeah. Patriots in it for 20-some years. I know. The Patriots, look, no one can deny them. No one can deny what they've accomplished and what they've done. And the fact that they're back. Hats off to them.

2:29:00Pat McAfee:And then the Chiefs became kind of like the Patriots. Everybody started hating you guys, too.

2:29:04AJ Hawk:Well, that's what happened. People throw rocks at things that shine. Shout out to Taylor Swift. To Coach Taylor Swift. We're doing it. We're still doing it. That's what happens. Look, I'd rather be on top and have people throwing rocks than down in the sludge. D-Bot has a question for you, Rob.

2:29:23AQ Shipley:I know it's only Thursday, but do you have an early lean on Sunday's game? Do I? Yes. I have. I don't. Yeah.

2:29:33AJ Hawk:Who you got?

2:29:36AJ Hawk:Oh, God. I think it's. Seahawks are favored by four and a half. That's right. And I think if you, on the whole of the scales of justice, I think the Seahawks probably are a little stronger. Oh, fuck you. He's just talking about the scales. He's talking about the scales. Scales of justice.

2:29:52Brock Purdy:I fucking hate those scales. The scales of justice are criminal.

2:29:56AJ Hawk:But here's the thing. That's why you play the game. You play the game because nobody, you don't know. Nobody has an answer. Nobody knows what's going to happen. Agreed. But on the scales of justice, as they stand on a Thursday. Yeah. All right. On a Thursday, the scales of justice. I think Seahawks, it's 27-20.

2:30:12Rob Woodson:Okay. Cover two.

2:30:14AJ Hawk:Cover two. Seven point.

2:30:16Rob Woodson:Okay.

2:30:17Thor Bjornsson:Ty has the last question for you here, Rob. Curious. How do you feel about the new stadium in Kansas City? I feel like it's kind of weird that Arrowhead's not going to be their home stadium in 2031 or whenever it's.

2:30:28AJ Hawk:It's weird to think that Arrowhead's the oldest stadium in the league.

2:30:31Thor Bjornsson:It's crazy.

2:30:32Brock Purdy:Wow. Really? I didn't know that. Me neither. That's crazy. Yeah, Highmark's gone.

2:30:36AJ Hawk:I think it was built in 72. Doesn't it have a three-story apartment in it, though? It does. I've been in it. It's really cool. It's amazing. It's actually awesome. It would be my dream. It's the greatest stadium in the world as far as volume and energy and barbecue, tailgating. And it's a wonderful place. But it is moving over to the, you know, on the other side of the state line. Indoor. And now hopefully we'll get a retractable roof. So maybe we can get a Super Bowl. You know, things change and things got to get upgraded. They did a nice facelift. But it's time, I think, you know, to get that new thing going.

2:31:14AJ Hawk:So, yeah, of course, I'm a little heartbroken. and I'm nostalgic. I'm like anybody else. Change is hard. Change is always really super hard. But it'll be the change. It'll be a good change.

2:31:24Pat McAfee:Yeah, it might be changing into the Patriots era again.

2:31:27AJ Hawk:Yeah. Unless they get Chiefsaholic out of prison. You guys are in Kansas.

2:31:30Pat McAfee:Yeah, they need to get Chiefsaholic out of prison.

2:31:32AJ Hawk:I gotta give you this shirt. I gotta give you this Pat Tillman shirt. Thank you so much. So you can run in this Pat's run.

2:31:37Pat McAfee:Thank you. Please tell the Pat Tillman Foundation people that we love them. I think they know that we sing their praises. You guys are so great. We appreciate the hell out of anybody that makes the world a better place, which you do. You look fit. You look like you're ready to run.

2:31:48Rob Woodson:I don't know about running.

2:31:49Pat McAfee:Science, science. I'm on science.

2:31:51Rob Woodson:You're going to make it.

2:31:52Pat McAfee:Yeah, the enhanced games, me and Thor. You know, kind of getting after it. Now, are you a shooter? Would you be able to?

2:31:58Rob Woodson:Yeah.

2:32:00AJ Hawk:Yes. That came out confident. Yeah, yeah. You don't have to. Don't feel obligated here. You heard it, too. No, I want a piece. I want a taste. Okay.

2:32:09Pat McAfee:Come on, Rob. For the charity super shot here with Rob Riggle. Rob Riggle, retired Marine.

2:32:18AJ Hawk:You guys are getting me motivated right now. I like it. Okay.

2:32:22Pat McAfee:If Rob Riggle is able to make this state fair basketball into that hoop right over there, we'll give$20 ,000 to the Pat Tillman Foundation. Where's the line? Right, where are you? In that area. What, I gotta be sitting? No. Whatever you need to do.

2:32:34Rob Woodson:Whatever you think.

2:32:34James Winston:Hey, hey.

2:32:35Rob Woodson:Head set on. Head set on. We gotta talk shit in your backswing. Watch out up here. Matt Ryan threw the thing through the ceiling twice. Like an idiot. Okay, so.

2:32:44Pat McAfee:You're a Marine. You got to go awareness. You got to go awareness. You have three shots at it. First.

2:32:49AJ Hawk:Send this thing down range. Well, slick. I feel like it's been tampered with. How about this, Rob? How about this, Rob? I feel like it's been tampered with.

2:32:57Pat McAfee:Probably. Rob,$100 ,000. The Pat Timwin Foundation, you make it on the first shot.

2:33:00AJ Hawk:Wow.

2:33:02Pat McAfee:A lot of pressure.

2:33:03Brock Purdy:Don't fuck this up, Rob.

2:33:04Rob Woodson:Oh, my God. You guys. Hold on, Rob.

2:33:06Pat McAfee:Lock it. Do you want her to get a read on the shot? Obviously. Oh, good idea. It's not a bad idea, actually. Yeah. Rob Riggles lady, okay, yep, she is expert golfer.

2:33:22Pat McAfee:Jamar Chase, only person to make the first shot. She just said the bank is open. That's what Jamar Chase did. That's what Jamar Chase did. That's what Chiefs of Holocs said.

2:33:30AJ Hawk:You should have stayed out there. I would have alley-ooped you, baby. Come on, man.

2:33:34Rob Woodson:That would have been work. We don't have that in the rules. That would have been interesting.

2:33:40AJ Hawk:All right, here we go. Come on, one time now, one time.

2:33:45Pat McAfee:One time for the one time, 100.

2:33:49James Winston:That's good. That's a great looking shot. Good too.

2:33:52Rob Woodson:100 again, I wanna let you know.

2:33:54James Winston:Good shot.

2:33:54Rob Woodson:A lot better than I expected.

2:33:55Pat McAfee:Unbelievable.

2:33:56Rob Woodson:Good job shot.

2:33:57Pat McAfee:That was a good, and it came off smooth. Yeah. That was incredible. $100 ,000 to the Pat Tillman Foundation. Rob Riggle, retired Marine.

2:34:05Rob Woodson:Ooh. He was able to bury this super shot. Too much, too much. That was. That was. That was an oorah. Okay, we'll be complaining. Come on. Hey, we'll bring the gun pointer. Hold on, lady helping.

2:34:21Pat McAfee:I already caught it. Rob Riggo and his lady. Don't fuck.

2:34:27Rob Woodson:I don't know. We're back to him and we got it.

2:34:33Pat McAfee:You are a good man. You are a good man. We appreciate that. God bless you. Ladies, and the arc and the aardvark I'm reading here is next. Is that happening?

2:34:40AJ Hawk:No, no, I'm actually doing, there's a, Other movies coming out. I'm doing a movie about the Olympic curling team, a great comedy. Shut up. Like the one-to-one, Matt Hamilton and them? Yep.

2:34:50Rob Woodson:Okay, awesome.

2:34:51AJ Hawk:Doing one with them. A movie called Pirate King, another one called Nichols. A couple dramas in there. Let's go. Making a movie starting in April called The Kringles, where I'm a drunk Santa. It's going to be a good time. Okay, what's next?

2:35:05Pat McAfee:What's next, though? The drunk Santa. The drunk Santa was next? Yeah. Congratulations. Thanks, brother. We appreciate you, Rob. Right back in. Hoorah! Hell yeah, hell yeah. Appreciate you ladies and gentlemen, Rob Riggle. We appreciate you. That makes me so happy. Thanks, brother. I like the idea, the innovation of how we beat the game. We appreciate you, Rob. Okay, as we move on from acting Marine living legend Rob Riggle, Radio Row is filled with so many different awesome human beings. Obviously him being one of them. Pat Tillman Foundation, great.

2:35:35Brock Purdy:Yeah, the best.

2:35:36Pat McAfee:Just like the more people that learn his story, I think the more people will have faith with the history of humanity. like humanity right NFL player could have gone for a long time oh yeah September 11th takes place I want to go serve my country gives up NFL career to go serve country obviously the way he ends up passing while he's out there training it's like the story is just incredible about sacrifice and commitment and buying into cause and yeah we're very thankful that Rob Riggle was representing him speaking of representing a man who's been representing UFC for a long time ain't never seen a bad fight.

2:36:09Pat McAfee:Nope. And now, ladies and gentlemen, he sits as the UFC lightweight champion

2:36:16Rob Woodson:Justin Gaethje. Yeah! Justin!

2:36:21Brock Purdy:Hell yeah. Champ. That's real gold. That's real gold there.

2:36:27Pat McAfee:That's fake gold. That's real gold right there. Okay, Justin, thank you for joining us. I don't know how long you're waiting back there, but please know that anybody with the cauliflower ears that you have will never be waiting in my world ever again because I know that means it's fucking on and it's over for me. I only do it for money though so if one of these is real then we're going. I respect that I appreciate that congratulations. Yeah thank you. No problem huge fight so we have a guy Bailey McComas who's a massive UFC fan he's in the back there all right and he said the interim championship thing with you interesting because maybe first time around didn't love it this time feel like a certain level of honor maybe a little bit more appreciation for what it is like how How do you think you view this particular run?

2:37:09Darius Butler:Yeah, I would say so. I think with age comes wisdom. And, you know, I had Khabib. It was during COVID. It was such a messed up. I got the first time I won the interim championship. It was in a 20 ,000-seat arena with zero people in there.

2:37:21Pat McAfee:Yeah.

2:37:21Darius Butler:And so it was just different. Everything was different about it. But, yeah, I do appreciate and respect, and I'm very proud of the accomplishment. You know, especially on paper, I'm a champion now in the UFC, which means I get paid as a champion. Hello! And so, I mean, with that, with this comes that. And so that's what I fight for.

2:37:40Pat McAfee:We hope you and Dana figured it out with the new Paramount deal. He came on our show after you said what you said, and he said something about not being able to contact you. I hope you guys got that resolved and figured out because you're great for the sport. You're also fighting somebody else that we love in Patty. Obviously, he's become entertaining. You talked a little bit about him saying my face is going to look the exact same afterwards. We assume in fight promo, like, everything is just kind of what it is. Felt like you actually felt disrespected by that. Is that true?

2:38:03Darius Butler:Yeah, I mean, ultimately, it's true. Like, so after these fights, I have to go back to my family, my mother, my father, my brothers, my sisters, my nieces, my nephews. And if my face is different, they are very concerned. And that is what we risk. Every single time we step in there, you know, it's not death, but it could be chronic injury. But it's definitely, you know, serious injury. And for him to imply that he was going to hurt me, of course I have to take that personal. You know, because we are trying to hurt each other. And honestly, you know, in that fight, we got to get a lot more petty, a lot more irritable, a lot shorter of a fuse.

2:38:36Darius Butler:And so I take everything personal. And, you know, as a competitor, you kind of have to use all that fuel to fire you to get in there. I obviously made the choice not to talk crap to my opponents anymore because I don't want to fire them up. You know, I want them to go in there with their own inspiration. I'm not trying to inspire them anymore. But that's something I learned through time.

2:38:56Pat McAfee:Okay, yeah, you got to have a certain mental capacity to walk in there, gladiator-type feel. And I think out of the last fight, I heard you say something about, like, I wish I didn't have to feel the way I feel right now to feel what I just felt or something like that. I don't remember that.

2:39:09Darius Butler:I think I was saying I wish all of you could feel what I feel. Yes, and what is that?

2:39:13Pat McAfee:Can you explain that? Because there's only a few of you in the history of the world that can feel it.

2:39:17Darius Butler:It's so hard to put into words because it's, like, the most intense, the most pressure, the desire to succeed is like so high but ultimately you can only control like such few things that your effort your preparation most things have already been decided you know by the time you're stepping in there the fear comes from the lack of preparation you can't lie to yourself you know so if you're taking shortcuts through a camp 10 weeks before the fight every single six days a week it is no mistakes all discipline and knowing that you're going to step into a can be exposed in front of millions of people.

2:39:55Pat McAfee:Yeah, millions of people can see. A lot of pressure. Yeah, you don't just like play fighting either. Yeah.

2:39:59Darius Butler:But you feel so alive. I mean, the - That gate closes, you feel alive coming out.

2:40:04Pat McAfee:When do you feel the most?

2:40:05Darius Butler:When is the - I would say in the locker room. Once the fight starts, it's over. You feel nothing, you hear nothing. There's no retention of information. I don't even remember ever being in a fight. Because I go to such an intuitive mode. And if you're present - That's called a zone.

2:40:22Pat McAfee:That's what people are talking about whenever say people go into a zone. It's like, well, you prepared so much you kind of just go into a zone.

2:40:28Darius Butler:Yeah, you just gotta trust your body, trust that your body's gonna do what it has to do when the time comes.

2:40:32Pat McAfee:And what's your body normally do, just sitting there and fucking bang.

2:40:36Darius Butler:My body feels nothing. I mean, I absolutely love what I do. I love the feeling of doing what I do. It's ruined every other part of life. There's no matching that high or matching that low. And so to find it in regular life, it's impossible.

2:40:53Pat McAfee:I can imagine. I think that's actually a real thing that wrestlers, fighters, I think athletes have to deal with. That's a real thing, chasing the dragon. You know, you're 37 now or something like that. AJ has a question for you, boss.

2:41:04James Winston:Yeah, can you remember your first walk in a real, like your first real fight? Not gonna be professional, but whatever that was, they locked you in.

2:41:11Darius Butler:My first amateur fight, yeah, it was so terrifying. I had no idea what I was doing. I had never been in a street fight. and I was just I was a huge fan of the sport. I was like, this looks like so much fun. How old were you? I was 18.

2:41:23James Winston:Okay.

2:41:23Darius Butler:It was August 2008. So you've never been in a street fight before? No, no. I grew up from a small town. I was the best wrestler in town. Quarterback, strong safety of the team. So nobody ever wanted to fight me. I didn't pick up, pick on people. I have a twin brother. We fought a lot. I have a twin brother. We fought a lot. But outside that, you won obviously. Yeah, we don't. Yeah, I mean, most of the time I won. But yeah, I never, I never, was never in a street fight. I threw a punch and then after my fifth amateur fight I almost got knocked down. I was like I gotta figure out what I'm doing here.

2:41:53Darius Butler:And so I found a coach.

2:41:54Pat McAfee:What is the most important part for you? Obviously toughness got to be able to do that. Got to be able to throw bombs. Wrestling obviously a massive piece. Because we're, I don't know. Yeah, Dagestan. Dagestan, kind of a takeover at UFC there for a bit. And it became like very much ground. Hey, we're gonna kind of take you into a deep end. How do you feel about like the evolution of where the sport is?

2:42:14Darius Butler:Yeah, I mean, it's so crazy. I mean, everybody brings such a different style to the sport, you know, and I'm capable to fight different styles of fights. I just fought Patty in a very forward, you know, aggressive kind of throw technique a little bit out the window and really judge distance and control distance more than I did Rafael Faziva, Michael Chandler, where I kind of fought a more methodical fight, you know. And so every single one of these opponents brings something different and you have to fight different styles. What do you think of Patty?

2:42:47Pat McAfee:I think a lot of people, outsiders, are hoping he become big star. Because obviously he was dancing in the ring before five. That was crazy.

2:42:54Darius Butler:I was in the back. I was like, keep wasting energy. Yeah, it was a lot. No, the biggest factor is cardio. You know, it's all cardio. It's a battle of it. Most of these are a battle of it. They're all a battle of attrition. Someone usually gives up. It's non, you can't see it. You can feel it though whenever somebody's done. You can feel it 100%. You can.

2:43:13Pat McAfee:How good of a feeling is that?

2:43:15Darius Butler:Well, what you feel first is, so right away in the first minute, you understand if you can take their shots or not take their shots. And then from that, you need to make adjustments. Like with Patty, I was like, I can take these shots all night. I'm gonna put myself into the range of punching range, and I'm gonna just throw with him, keep him on his back foot. And he definitely can't create enough force to hurt me if he's not moving forward. And so, you know, he's very crafty, very tricky, very funky. He throws a lot of volume, and he's going to give people issues if you underestimate him at all because he's so crafty in his strikes.

2:43:53Darius Butler:He looks funky. It looks weird and goofy, but it's very, very crafty. And so his uppercuts were very nice. He controls range well. He just makes mistakes. And in this sport, I said it before the fight, you cannot make mistakes. I knew he was going to come out so aggressive. He wants to win so bad, and that's nothing that will ever help you be successful in this sport. You just have to be content with the situation. For me, it's be content with the worst possible outcome and then go out there and perform.

2:44:21Pat McAfee:Let the fight come to you is what you're saying.

2:44:22Darius Butler:Yeah, yeah, let the fight. I mean, you have to create the fight. Again, you're controlling distance, controlling range, creating angles. There's so much that's going on that nobody that doesn't do it knows what's happening.

2:44:34Pat McAfee:That's just like football, I think. That's why we're so intrigued whenever we have you on, because we are trying to see the cerebral side. Like, what are you?

2:44:41Rob Woodson:Because I think Street Jesus. Masvidal. Masvidal.

2:44:44Pat McAfee:He said something about, like, when I'm looking at somebody, I'm seeing just, like, points on where I can potentially get them, like, at any given moment. Are you, like, calculating? I guess you black out in there so you don't know. But you're training your body to calculate, right? That's why the slip is not defined.

2:44:56Darius Butler:You really just try to control their feet, you know? So you can think of yourself as, like, a DJ or a composer. You get to have control of the beat, But you get to change the song at any given moment. You're constantly trying to catch them in between beats. Because anytime you could brace for something and see it, you could take it. It's the moments where you catch them in half beats where you can knock them out. And so you're constantly trying to surprise them. You're trying to set them up, trying to surprise them, trying to think that you're going this way and you're really going here the whole time.

2:45:27Darius Butler:Hard to work, brother, yeah. Yeah, yeah, there's so much going on in there.

2:45:30AQ Shipley:Yeah, you're damn good at it all. Almost as good as on the golf course. This is why when you see the ears, just know. Yes, fuck. Yes, PSA, don't fuck with these dudes. All right, playing a different game.

2:45:40Darius Butler:Yeah, everyone can fight. I mean, that's why this sport is so relatable to the common person. But nobody can fight for more than 30 seconds. Like, that's what people don't take into. They don't think about that part, how exhausting it is.

2:45:53Pat McAfee:No, we do think about it. You guys go. Football plays five seconds at a time. We're five minutes at a time. Yeah, there's no reason. Listen, we grew up. I grew up in Pittsburgh. there's high school wrestling. So we know what you psychos are doing. Exhausting. We know the garbage bags and I'm going home after my practice and you guys are what? Trotting your asses home down the side a lot. We understand that. Nasty. Stinks. Have you seen the, what is that? Freestyle American wrestling? I have. Yeah, yeah.

2:46:20Darius Butler:RAF. Yeah. Yeah, it looks cool. They keep asking me, but I told them I don't wrestle no more. No, you fight. If I can punch them or kick them, then count me in. Connor has a question for you.

2:46:30Brock Purdy:Yeah, Justin, what about fighting for the BMF title? Like, it feels like you mentioned right away, you know, now you're getting paid like a champion. Like, that's what you were, you know, hoping for. Like, with the BMF title, especially at the end when you're talking about technique, like, I think it was you and Holloway just said, no technique.

2:46:44Darius Butler:We're just going to throw the biggest ball as possible. Yeah, I mean, I fought a bad fight, that fight, and I was, you know, I was in a position where I was going to lose. And once he granted me that opportunity to go out, like, I needed to go out or to knock him out to win, the competitor I am, I'm never going to turn that opportunity down. That's the only reason I showed up, is for the chance to win. I was in a bad position. I put myself there, and I understood that I was losing and I was going to lose. And so with that opportunity, I had no choice. I would do it 100 times over. And I'm glad I lost like that.

2:47:18Darius Butler:That would have been, that was a much better story for my legacy to lose like that. Yeah, you're bangers. Than to let one more second go and I just lose a decision. You know, me getting knocked out and then coming back, having two wins in a row, makes those two wins that much more inspiring. And it makes what I'm going to do at the end of my career that much more inspiring. And that's ultimately why I'm here.

2:47:39Pat McAfee:Yeah, but whenever they said, like, hey, Justin Gaethje would like to come to the show. We have Justin Gaethje. Do you want him on the show? Everybody's immediate thought is that guy only is electrifying. I love that guy. That is literally how we all view you.

2:47:49Darius Butler:So we are very thankful that that is. I've been a huge fan of this sport. And nobody is as consistent or as exciting as me. What's next? Ilya Teporia in the White House has to be, has to be. No other option. Hell yeah. Let's go. Walking out of the Oval Office into the cage, wearing the flag like I can't think of any. I've been speaking into existence since I fought Vasiva last year. I was like, I'm gonna fight. I thought it would be Teporia in January, and then I would fight and defend my belt on the White House card in June. And things change up, can't control everything. Ilya takes a step back because of personal issues.

2:48:26Darius Butler:I still get to fight for an interim championship, which makes me a champion on paper, which gives me Ilya Teporia on the White House in June. Hey, why not? Makes sense to us.

2:48:34Rob Woodson:Yes.

2:48:35Darius Butler:And that fight would want fireworks. Entertainment. I think we're going to main event it. I think we'll be the main event. Boom. Let's go. What's in a lifetime? I'm totally guessing throwing shit against the wall right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Universe, universe. But I mean, what else? Yeah, why wouldn't you? They had me, specifically me, above Amanda and Kayla. And that's the biggest fight in women's MMA. And they had me above them. So I can't imagine. You know what I think will probably happen? You know what I think will probably happen?

2:49:04Pat McAfee:We'll see it. I think there'll be a co-headline. You'll be one of them so that they can say, like, the man who's never had a bad fight definitely here. So that's a draw. And then they put whatever else on there. So I think co-main event, I think for sure. Co-main? Who's main? I don't know. I think it'll be a huge, I think it'll be a big name-name thing.

2:49:19Brock Purdy:McGregor's been tossed around as main for that fight.

2:49:22Rob Woodson:Yeah, I know it's past the time. But name wise, I think that is McGregor, then McGregor is going to fight me and we'll be main event. Okay. Never had a bad fight. Got to be a title fight. Yeah, would have to be.

2:49:34Darius Butler:Okay. It would be if he didn't come back, they would, you know, strip him. I'd become the undisputed. And then McGregor gets to fight whoever he wants. So I guess that would be an option. When would you start training for that? Are you always training? I've taken it, you know, I'm a little bit beat up after the last fight. I was really sore. My knee's a little sore. I'm 37 years old now. So I train for 10 weeks for a fight, but in between I try to maintain and just eat healthy and so last week I ate like shit. Sure. All right, what you have? What is it? Sugar, any kind of sugar. Chocolate more or?

2:50:06Darius Butler:Syrup, chocolate. We like pancakes or waffles. Cinnamon buds, I'll go get a box of cereal, eat the whole thing. Fruity Pebbles, which one? No, I got Cinnamon Toast Crunch. CTC, yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, it's hard to beat. And then I got Lucky Charms. Okay. Oh, yeah, which marshmallows? The old-school traditional one or the new? Traditional one, I definitely mix. I take out a lot of the rake. I make it marshmallow-heavy.

2:50:29Pat McAfee:They have those, though.

2:50:30Darius Butler:No, I just do it by hand.

2:50:32Pat McAfee:Oh, because you're a chef. I get it. Old-school dude. While you're in between fight camps, might I suggest, okay, and obviously you know better than me, you're a fucking champ multiple times, there's Oculus Boxing in there, you know, put on virtual reality, and I'll tell you what you can hear.

2:50:49Darius Butler:That'd be like when I played golf, You play Oculus golf and you just get worse. No. It makes you worse. I'm Oculus champion. What do you mean it works? No. Yeah, but when you go on the course, it's not the same swing. You're a great golfer, huh? Are you a great golfer? I'm a 6.5 handicap. Wow. Damn. As a wrestler? Yeah. As a fighter? I love that. When I got knocked out by Max Holloway, 180 days straight, I golfed. I was like, no one's touching my head for the next six months, so I'm gonna golf every day. Anybody with these ears does not play basketball. But I'm gonna make it. Okay, you were good.

2:51:24Darius Butler:If we're raising money for charity, then I'm absolutely gonna make it.

2:51:27Rob Woodson:Okay, all right, let's do this. Yes.

2:51:29AJ Hawk:Do you think you're the best fighter golfer?

2:51:32Darius Butler:It's between me and Dustin Jacoby. He's like a 6.3 handicap. Okay, damn. Yeah, we live close to each other, so we play a lot. Hey, I don't think those ears are good for golf. Do you golf?

2:51:43Rob Woodson:They're not. No, I'm not great. That's what I mean.

2:51:44Darius Butler:These ears are perfect for golf, cuz when you suck, you just start talking shit and they get scared and then they get in their own head.

2:51:50Rob Woodson:Not bad, your head game is actually, is that right? Yeah.

2:51:54Pat McAfee:That's good, right?

2:51:55Rob Woodson:That's good, that's good. Yeah, that is good, hold on. He's gonna make it. Okay, we won't count it, cuz you're a wrestler. Yeah. That was practice. Yeah.

2:52:04AJ Hawk:Are those betting lines on your shirts, by the way, too?

2:52:06Darius Butler:Yes.

2:52:06AJ Hawk:That's awesome.

2:52:07Darius Butler:This is my company, Press. I love that. Starting this, yeah. In its infancy. What is it? What are we doing? Press, it's, cuz I'm always pressing on the golf course. Sometimes I find myself down. Gotta press. Yeah. I love it. So, we've got the hat. Always in it with press. Yeah. Always in it. Can I buy that shirt? I'm trying to give a man a chance to win his money back. It's the first thing my dad taught me, unfortunately.

2:52:28Pat McAfee:Hey, you just armbarred the fucking headset. It's ready. Got that thing sideways. Yeah, you twisted it. Okay, first attempt here. Oh, wait. $20 ,000 to a charity of your choosing if you're able to make it. But since you are cauliflower-eared up, I feel like this should be a$50 ,000. Oh, yeah. Why not? I think you might be right. I think so. Just because what you would be doing is defying all human. No way, basically. Everything. This would be against all physics.

2:52:48Rob Woodson:Yeah, the fact that you were on the mat and your ears were getting bopped so

2:52:51Pat McAfee:much, very rarely are you able to get to the wood and maybe practice a shot or two.

2:52:55Rob Woodson:But right now with a State Fair ball, with this basketball hoop,$50 ,000.

2:52:59Darius Butler:I like pressure, I like pressure. This is for charity. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Ready?

2:53:09Darius Butler:Come on. Give me a break. Rebounds. Would have been good if it went away.

2:53:12Rob Woodson:Okay, here we go. I'll tell you what, much better shooter than most wrestlers I know.

2:53:16James Winston:Yes, much better.

2:53:17Rob Woodson:$50 ,000 to a charity of your choosing. Just a day. Get the hell out of here. It's getting worse. Got another one. It's getting worse. It's almost like you did the Oculus there. Got$50 ,000. That was it. Damn. Good hands. All right, you're wrestling. Nobody expected that. All right, all right. Hey, you want a more shot, don't you?

2:53:37Darius Butler:Yeah, no.

2:53:38Rob Woodson:Yeah, yeah, yeah. It feels like you do. Oh. Handed. I want a beat. That was unbelievable. Ladies and gentlemen, your champion and potential headliner for the White House UFC spectacle. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. See that? Oculus. You saw that. Yeah, that's nice. I'm going to have to try it out. Yeah, see? Okay. All right, I'm pretty pumped up about that. And also, maybe some vitamins right now. They're not supposed to be that quick. You know what the answer is? You're on point.

2:54:08Pat McAfee:But I want to let you know, that is something I always remember. I got a chance to stand right across from you, Justin. Fucking naked. Do face off? I appreciate it.

2:54:15Rob Woodson:Yeah, yeah. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

2:54:17Pat McAfee:You can put yours up, Pete.

2:54:18AQ Shipley:There it is. Stop smiling.

2:54:20Rob Woodson:Whoa, whoa, whoa. I thought a little bit. I thought that too though, I think.

2:54:24Pat McAfee:Jeez.

2:54:25Darius Butler:Get in the nose.

2:54:26Pat McAfee:Respect, you're the best. Ladies and gentlemen, hey. Hey, you guys. Sir, sir. Your title, you earned that. Congratulations.

2:54:32Rob Woodson:Hey, you're the fucking champ. Stop saying it's on paper. Hell yeah. You're the fucking champ, dude. Hell yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, let's go to Gaethje. Go get him, champ. All right, champ. Ignite those belts, champ. Hey, he's taller than I am. Yeah, definitely. That's for the team of the week. I mean, it was better athlete too. Yeah, that wasn't bad at all. Played quarterback and safety. Also really good golfer. Yeah, good golfer. Every wrestler I know is the worst basketball player. Of all time. Hockey players too.

2:54:56James Winston:They usually shot put it. Like if he's playing quarterback, he can shoot a basketball.

2:54:59Pat McAfee:Joining us now is a guy who's gonna be pretty good, I think, at this. Mm-hm. He became the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars so late in the process that we didn't think he was gonna be able to hire a staff. The Jacksonville Jaguars go from bad to not even being able to have a fucking coach and staff. That's what we thought. Instead, what a man did is... Reinvigorate an entire city a region a team a franchise alongside a man who's 27 years old named Stoner the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars Liam Cohen.

2:55:27Brock Purdy:Wow. Wow. Wow. He looks so cool. Wow. He looks so cool. He looks so cool. Is it all Louis? Wow. Wow. Wow.

2:55:45Rob Woodson:Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Holy shit. The head coach money. We got the Don on too. I see him over there. Yeah, I see the - Hey coach, you're coming. Wow.

2:55:57Liam Coen:I'm just trying to get like you, bro. I'm just trying to get like you. Holy shit. I'm trying to get like you.

2:56:04Rob Woodson:I think you're already there. That was awesome. Unbelievable entrance. Yeah, yeah. All right, ladies and gentlemen, that's Liam Caw.

2:56:15Pat McAfee:Okay, tell me about it. We got a chance to catch up with you multiple times here throughout the entire process of you becoming the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Please tell me about the season. I feel like you guys had a good one. I feel like you're finding your culture. You found your culture maybe only propelling you into next year. How do you kind of sit as Super Bowl league rolls on?

2:56:31Liam Coen:Look, we're all pissed. 31 teams are pissed at the result, right? They are at the end of the day. But I do believe that the process was successful. The process because we talk so much about the process, process over results, process drives results and look at you know we fell short of the ultimate goal of winning a super bowl but very proud of the group extremely proud to get our coaching staff back after year one and to do it with James with stoner and Tony man those guys are the best really proud of this group

2:56:58Pat McAfee:yeah you should be very and you talking about there's the culture works or whatever proof in the pudding right and not that the boys ever didn't buy in because they clearly did we watched them play all year it felt like everybody bought into your culture quickly much easier going into

2:57:11Liam Coen:another year right well Trevor first offseason healthy in a long time man it is so to have that continuity with the ability to have your offensive coordinator back your past game coordinator back your quarterback coach back I mean that's huge I mean he literally didn't throw last year all spring until I don't know June or whatever it was so you're working on the lower half which was awesome you're working on the upper half which was awesome but we we got to do that without seeing the result of a completion or not it's like all right dude let's just get your footwork right the head the the mind, the progressions.

2:57:41Liam Coen:Now to be able to put it all together this spring, I think it'll be fun.

2:57:44Pat McAfee:It's crazy you guys didn't have any timing training there for a long time. It showed. Yeah, I think so. But then you guys got better and better as you continue to work, and I guess that makes a lot more sense. AJ has a question for you, Coach.

2:57:53James Winston:Yeah, you mentioned a quarterback with Trevor. I guess, how did you see him grow this season? Because I think it seems like he took a step, like he took a step in the right direction, like to another tier at the quarterback position. Like, what have you seen?

2:58:03Liam Coen:You know, like so much of the play in this position, timing circumstances, and the operation. like just getting the operation down motions shift cans audibles alerts like that's a lot before you even go and say did I complete the ball or not and so I think once that calmed down like that slowed down for him he started using his legs that now makes the defense defend every blade of grass right every blade of grass both horizontally and vertically so he took it the ownership the leadership you started to see it come out of him and now okay Jacoby Myers comes our first great trade by the way with Jacoby we were a better team the first practice Jacoby came in our past game looked completely different the whole team was like what I mean for real it just changed because it allowed BT to do what he does well Parker to do what he does well now Brent Strange does what he does well and Trevor had a lot of trust and respect in him okay tell me about

2:58:58Pat McAfee:Trevor you talked about him running getting a little bit more comfortable he's a stallion I I think people forget about that.

2:59:03Liam Coen:I love that word stallion.

2:59:05Pat McAfee:He is. He is. No dude he is. He's even got the main, the whole thing. Yeah. He literally is a stallion. When do you realize that and how do you balance? Because I think like the Patriots right now, Drake May also a stallion. But they are trying to manage how much do we, you have to do that with Trevor I think going forward, right?

2:59:23Liam Coen:You do. I mean I watched Trevor play live as a freshman in high school. I was recruiting another dude. I was at this high school game. Trevor's balling, running, doing everything that he does now. And you're like, okay, that's the balance, though, of playing this position as a franchise quarterback in this league. But I think you guys know your teammates respect when you go and do that. Like, they do. You go out and put that on tape and lower your shoulder a few times and play the game the way he was playing at the end of the year, the guys will follow. They'll follow that lead. And super talented dude, really excited about moving forward.

2:59:58Liam Coen:Great hair. I mean, unbelievable.

3:00:00AQ Shipley:Yeah, you've done a great job offensively and working with quarterbacks throughout your career. But now you had your first opportunity first year now under your belt as a head coach. We always talk. We just talked about a trust and respect. You need that for your head coach and the guy that came command the room. We always say how was that for your first team meeting addressing the team and then when at what point during the season did you feel I guess fully comfortable in your skin in that new role.

3:00:22Liam Coen:That's that is exactly the hardest thing to kind of figure out is like because I was with Sean. I'm in Sean. I'm in LA for all those years, you were with Sean, you were with Kevin O 'Connell, you were with Zack Taylor, you were so many good football coaches. And you wanna take something from everybody, right? Like you do, but you also gotta be yourself. And I think that's the thing that I learned the most. Obviously throughout this whole process, you're sitting there and you're like, all right, dude, if those players respect me as who I am, the rest will come. And look, they get criticized in the media all the time.

3:00:54Liam Coen:And so if they see their coach kinda doing it and getting it, and not flinching, not blinking, hey, we're in this thing together, they'll play harder. They will. And then the Houston debacle was a good thing for us. Like, that's when things changed for us. We lost, we were 20-point lead, blew it, fourth quarter. Oh, yeah, I knew I remember that. Dougie Mills. Dougie Mills. Doug Mills went crazy. Mills killed us.

3:01:16AJ Hawk:You got Doug Mills, that's happened. Mills killed us.

3:01:18Liam Coen:He's a dog. Two-minute drill, fourth quarter, lose the game, right? We're sitting there like, damn. I mean, that was the quietest locker room I've ever been a part of postgame. But that allowed us to go have some real, open, honest conversations as a team with coaches, with players, with the staff, and with our whole team. That's when things change to answer your question. It's like, all right, guys, that's not good enough at all. We can't be spectators for that last quarter. We got to go play 60 minutes and see what happens.

3:01:46Pat McAfee:It feels like everything you're doing now is precedent for what the future is. Obviously, first-year coaches, you do that. So in Vrabel, first year in New England. McDonald's second year in Seattle. Ben Johnson, first year in Chicago. It's like you are being used as a reference point for other places. Can you just talk about how easy it is? Can you please do it? Because your name gets met. Oh, yeah. Look what Liam did down in Jacksonville. Ten coaches. There was ten coaching openings this year.

3:02:14Rob Woodson:Because everybody sees what you fucking did in Jacksonville. It's your fault. You fired ten, coach. Way to go, bro.

3:02:21Pat McAfee:Yeah, the coaches union's gonna love you, Liam.

3:02:23Rob Woodson:No, not so much.

3:02:24Liam Coen:No, look, it's crazy dynamic. We know that this is truly what have you done lately, right? Like, you either win now or you don't probably don't have much time. I mean, that's just the reality. It's where this thing goes. And you're trusted to be able to make some of those decisions. And I think Braves is cool as hell. I saw at the owners meetings down at the breakers this spring, man, he's walking around, dude, like, he just gets it. You can tell he's a dude. He's a guy. He came and worked out Will Levis when he was in Tennessee, when I was at Kentucky. So I got to have some real conversations with him then.

3:02:56Liam Coen:And you could tell, man, he's the real one. He's what those guys want to follow. Those guys want to be around. And he's a damn good football coach.

3:03:04Pat McAfee:Will Levis was eating mayonnaise at that time. I think that's what he was. Yeah, I think that's what we were introduced to him. Conman has a question for you, Liam.

3:03:11Brock Purdy:Yeah, Liam, something you can't really ask other coaches about is coaching a guy like Travis Hunter. And he had his best game in London against the Rams. and then, yeah, during practice gets hurt. Has there been more conversations about that, like Parker Washington, Jacoby, Brian Thomas, you kind of have an unbelievable receiving core. Do we just put this guy on defense? But also you're an offensive coach.

3:03:33Liam Coen:That's a great question because I do think the best thing that could have happened was like, all right, not that he got hurt, but we got hurt and we were able to have success, right? So now we get the privilege of going throughout this. He's still rehabbing, going through a whole process of rehab, getting back. But now we can go say, okay, where is this going to truly help us go take the next step? Like, what's going to actually help us get over the hump from time, allotment for him, practice, schedule, playing on Sundays, what's the best for our team and for the Jacksonville Jaguars to go in on Sunday?

3:04:06Liam Coen:And that's what it allows us to do is because we do have some other pieces. We have some guys that can go make plays on Sundays, and that's what it's all about. So we need the help for sure. I mean, in terms of the playmaking, the corner position, we'll use him. He's going to get used. It's just a matter of what is that dynamic.

3:04:21Pat McAfee:Okay, so how is – yeah. Did you figure anything out? I mean, dude. Because we thought we were watching you, and you were doing an experiment on something that we have never had before. But Stoner cut a promo knowing that this is something that we've never really seen before. So what did you learn through the experiment? Do we think he's going to be able to handle it? Because that's been a big question. Mentally, physically, can you handle both?

3:04:41Liam Coen:I think he's absolutely going to be able to. I do. I mean, the guy, just for now, he has the craziest conditioning of any athlete I've ever been around. Like, he doesn't get tired. He doesn't sweat. It's kind of crazy. But, you know, he's obviously been in altitude, but he works his tail off. He loves football. Football, fishing. I mean, that's what he does. So as he continues to grow, and this was a minor setback for sure, right, but for a major comeback. That's what it has to be. That's his mindset. Are you counting reps in practice?

3:05:15Pat McAfee:Do we figure that out? Do you think you got to the point where you, like, figured out how much you should do? I think we were getting there.

3:05:19Liam Coen:I think we were getting there. And then he gets, you know, he has 100 yards against the Rams, gets hurt, forced us to go kind of make some other decisions. And it was a blessing at the end of the day for the way it played out in some ways. But, look, we'll look through that. I do think that if you just said, all right, man, go play football without much coaching, I mean, corner, he just looks the part. It's exactly what he is. But also when you get the ball in his hands, I mean, he can make people miss, which I can't coach, you know? So it's still a fine line. It's still something we're working through.

3:05:52Pat McAfee:Yeah, I'm excited to watch it. I hope it's able to pan out. I hope something historic happens, and he certainly can do it. Ty has a question for you.

3:05:59Thor Bjornsson:Yeah, Coach, you mentioned at the start how you were able to retain your coordinators.

3:06:03Pat McAfee:Yeah.

3:06:03Thor Bjornsson:And I assume, like, part of that is kind of, hey, hats off to me. I was able to put together a great staff.

3:06:07Pat McAfee:When nobody thought you were going to be able to put together a staff. Exactly.

3:06:10Thor Bjornsson:But both of those guys were two of the hottest names in this cycle, and maybe you thought you were going to lose them. Like, is there part of that where it's like, well, fuck, you know, it's nice. We get to run it back with these guys, but there's a good chance that I'm going to have to replace both of these guys next year.

3:06:22Liam Coen:Yeah, that is the mindset. I mean, you want people to thrive. Like, when you have success, you want everybody to eat. You do. Like, you want guys to continue to grow the game, grow their careers and professions, and be able to move forward. Like, it's no different with players. You want them all to get that next extension, that next contract, Go get paid. And those two deserved it. They earned it. I mean, Campy to take that defense from last in the league in turnovers to second. The ultimate. The ultimate. Yeah, we need to get him the hell out of the AFC South. Yeah, dude. He's a stud, but so is Lou.

3:06:55Liam Coen:Okay. He is. But to get those two back, Grant, I mean, Grant's the type of guy, guys, we play a game on Sunday, 1 o 'clock game. You're done by what, 4 or 5? 5 o 'clock. He's in the office until 11 o 'clock. that night, like working on the next opponent. You know, 30 years old, out there, like, could be going out, you know? He loves ball. So it's the way it goes in. Heath Farwell, our special teams coordinator is a G.

3:07:19Pat McAfee:Yeah, it feels like you have a good culture down there. Congratulations on getting that instituted so quickly. The Louis Vuitton fit is awesome. I mean, come on. I don't style myself.

3:07:29Liam Coen:And the shoes are cool.

3:07:32Pat McAfee:I remember you wearing some Ferragamo, I believe, in the video, or maybe Louis. I forget what it was. Were they red? The loafers whenever you got to, the blue ones when you got to Jacksonville. Correct. Yeah, yeah, we know, we see it, cuz it's always so much shit that most people would not have.

3:07:47Liam Coen:You're like me on day to day, I wear a uniform. I wear a uniform of the same shit every day. I like it, the black on black you can. Steve Jobs. It's awesome. You don't have to make a decision. You don't have to make a decision. Yeah, at all. It's awesome. Yeah, I wear the same thing. People say I'm not fashionable, but it's like, I wear the same day every day.

3:08:04Pat McAfee:The watch just says it all, though, man.

3:08:06Liam Coen:You just put that out.

3:08:07Pat McAfee:Yeah, it is good. Yeah. You know, every once in a while, you see a Toyota Camry leave your bank account. And then all of a sudden, it's like, oh, my wife just got me a gift. Oh, yeah. That's great. And then, you know, we kind of keep it moving. That's awesome. It's a nice little surprise.

3:08:21Liam Coen:That's awesome.

3:08:22Pat McAfee:They are awesome. I'm not a big watch person. I don't know what they are, but I do think this one's good. Same. And I think that one is good as well.

3:08:27Liam Coen:It is.

3:08:27Pat McAfee:Yeah.

3:08:28Liam Coen:I was an Apple Watch guy before. I mean, I didn't even wear watches.

3:08:30Pat McAfee:And I think a lot of people tell us that we're new money people. That's why we feel this way. Yeah, that is what people say. It's easy to look.

3:08:37Rob Woodson:That guy came from nothing. Look at him. His first time with fucking money right there.

3:08:41Liam Coen:My parents were teachers, dude.

3:08:42Rob Woodson:Bingo. Yeah.

3:08:43Pat McAfee:So, hey, we should be proud of what we did here. Could send Bob Sala one, maybe.

3:08:47Brock Purdy:Like, welcome to the - We were just texting. See, that's the beautiful part about it. Why are you just texting? Hey, I've been just texting.

3:08:53Rob Woodson:Get up. He's my seat now, bitch. Yeah, you're going to eat these movies, bro. Is that what you said to Sala? Yes.

3:08:59Liam Coen:Yes. No, we are, dude, it is awesome that he's coming. What a cool move by Tennessee, seriously. I mean, just to get another quality defensive head coach in this league that gets defenses to run around that way, I mean, it's fun for us. I mean, you want to play the best. You want to come, and that's no different for coaches. There's no difference. You want to beat your peers. You want to be better than everybody. Especially when you want to beat the people you hate. Yeah, exactly.

3:09:21Rob Woodson:Ben Johnson, Matt LaFleur. That's awesome. Yeah. That's good. We need coaches. This one's better. This one's better.

3:09:26James Winston:You started it. You got a great one, too. Entertainment. Coach is right here.

3:09:39Pat McAfee:Yeah, let's go. Hey, can you shoot? You're an athlete obviously former quarterback in college.

3:09:44Liam Coen:Yeah, from here. Where are we going?

3:09:48Pat McAfee:That hoop.

3:09:49Liam Coen:Yeah.

3:09:49Pat McAfee:Actually you can shoot it I guess at that TV if you want.

3:09:51Liam Coen:That TV? Probably the hoop though. I mean what about the count? Is it not gonna hit? You tell me coach. You gotta keep it low.

3:09:59Pat McAfee:Somebody, a lot of people have made it from there into the soup. If you make it on the first try, we'll donate$20 ,000 to a charity of your choosing. Let's do it. If you make it on the second or third. Yeah, it's State Fair ball. Liam Cohn, head coach of the Jags. Oh man.

3:10:10Rob Woodson:This guy. The Louis V.

3:10:13James Winston:This guy. Never doubt. Come on. Jamar. Wow. Eat your heart out, Salah. No bank either. Yes.

3:10:21Rob Woodson:I don't know if Salah knows. Wow. I don't know if Coach Salah knows. That's AMC South football right there. Unbelievable head coach at Jackson Jack.

3:10:29Pat McAfee:Appreciate it.

3:10:29Rob Woodson:Incredible shot. Wow. Touch two. Never felt the ball. Wow, this ball sucks. I got a splash in the draw place for today.

3:10:37Liam Coen:I was like the average, that 15 point a game guy in high school. I wasn't like 20. That ain't pretty good. I was like that good like 12 to 15 range. That's impressive, man. That's good.

3:10:47Pat McAfee:Yeah, but you were doing niche too, I bet, huh?

3:10:49Liam Coen:Zone defense.

3:10:50Pat McAfee:Okay, nice. Yeah.

3:10:52Liam Coen:Zone. It's two, three zone. A lot of effort. Love it. Trapping the corners. No, yeah, yeah. Get loud.

3:11:04Liam Coen:What was the name? Who played for Krzyzewski, the point guard for Duke all those years? Wojciechowski. Ed Monix. Yeah, he bops the wood.

3:11:13Pat McAfee:Yeah, he's a wood bopper. I was a big - You bop wood too, yeah, you're a big wood bopper. Yeah, all day. You're bopping wood all day.

3:11:20Liam Coen:Don't ask me to run around with anybody else.

3:11:23Rob Woodson:No, we're bopping wood right here. And he gets a lot of linebackers suck up. Yeah, you do suck a boy. Boom. Ladies and gentlemen, head coach is Jack Fitzgerald. Yeah, Lee-oo. Coach. Good shot. That was an incredible shot.

3:11:35Brock Purdy:Yeah, unbelievable. So casual. Look at the guy. Just smooth criminal.

3:11:41Thor Bjornsson:Smooth criminal is right.

3:11:42AQ Shipley:Started from other. All right, Coach. Put it forward. Thank you. Good to see you. That was wild. Good luck.

3:11:48Pat McAfee:Ladies and gentlemen, I believe joining us live at the podium right now is actual royalty, Maybe the greatest pickleball player on earth. What? Anna Lee Waters. Anna, how are you doing, Anna?

3:12:00Rob Woodson:Anna. Okay, Anna, hold on, Anna. I need to – I'm just now learning of you.

3:12:04Pat McAfee:You're the best pickleball player on earth right now. Is that accurate?

3:12:07Thor Bjornsson:That is correct.

3:12:08Pat McAfee:Okay, how'd you get into this? Because we obviously just got introduced to pickleball just a few years ago. The whole world has. Have you been playing your whole life or did you just –

3:12:14Thor Bjornsson:I've been playing since 2017, so before it was like the cool thing to do.

3:12:18Pat McAfee:Where are you from? How'd you get into it? Were you a tennis player that then started playing?

3:12:21Thor Bjornsson:I was. I live in South Florida, and I evacuated a hurricane, actually, in 2017. And my grandfather played pickleball, typical stereotype, and he taught me how to play, and here I am now.

3:12:33Pat McAfee:Okay, so we're working the kitchen, obviously, with the dinks in the dumps. Hey, you're pretty good.

3:12:38Thor Bjornsson:We got into it.

3:12:39Pat McAfee:We got into it. So do you play? I used to. I used to. Retired. Yeah, I retired.

3:12:45Thor Bjornsson:Are we going to have to play right now?

3:14:08Thor Bjornsson:I am, Pickleball, yep. Okay. Trying to grow the sport.

3:14:10Pat McAfee:I think it's a great sport. It's growing. It is.

3:14:12Thor Bjornsson:You guys like it? Love it. Yeah, love it. You've been fun? Yeah, kinda hung up the paddle. You're retired, yeah. I'm retired as well. You got a mean backhand. Did somebody retire you from pickleball? No, no, no, a couple years ago at the Super Bowl, we played pickleball for about 12 hours a day. And you felt the - Yeah. Well, you know - You guys know it's a real sport then, if you're feeling some - Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah.

3:14:35Pat McAfee:Is it a sport that is, is there a lot of really good players? Like you kill everybody or is it like good competition?

3:14:41Thor Bjornsson:No, there's good competition. I win a lot, obviously, but there is good competition. It's getting better too. It's growing in Asia, it's getting huge.

3:14:47Pat McAfee:I bet we need you to go win over there.

3:15:18Brock Purdy:This might get me back. I haven't.

3:15:20Rob Woodson:Thank you, Anna. It's great falling. I haven't done that. Taking a piss for two years or whatever. That was good. Yeah. She was really good too.

3:15:29Thor Bjornsson:Yeah, you're making it work. She thought you guys were just gonna jerk around and just do one of these. Number one in the world. How often do you get a chance to play against number one?

3:15:37Pat McAfee:You made it work a little bit. Yeah, absolutely. And by the way, no doubter.

3:15:41Rob Woodson:Yeah, she showed up.

3:15:43Pat McAfee:And then she said, let me just put one right at his belt, bang. All right, this is over. Thanks. Fun game? Joining us now, fun game. Greatest of all time, maybe. Man who, obviously, out of Florida State, is one of the greatest players in the history of college football. Then when he gets to the NFL, he's the most electrifying man to ever speak. Ladies and gentlemen, in front of the program, we are so thankful he's here for Carl's Jr., James Switzer.

3:16:05Rob Woodson:Yeah! J-Mo! Thank you, J-Mo. Oh, man. Yes. How are you? Yes.

3:16:12AQ Shipley:You missed it. I can go for a Carl's Jr.

3:16:14Rob Woodson:No, it does. Yeah, this is what it's all about. This is radio, this is why you come here. You look awesome. You bring some burgers? This is why we're here. You bring some Carl's Jr. That's why you lift all them weights. Yep. Shoes. Don't kill somebody for a Carl's Jr. Burger. Hold on, we're gonna talk about it. Yeah.

3:16:31Pat McAfee:Cuz I'm just learning what they're doing.

3:16:35Von Miller:Jameis, great to see you. Man, pleasure. Grateful to be here with you. God, what an honor it is for us to have you here.

3:16:41Brock Purdy:Yeah, this is awesome. This is our honor. Let's go Jameis. Reunited and it feels so good. Come on, man.

3:16:48Pat McAfee:Let's talk about things feeling good. You know, I eat a Carl's Jr. burger. I feel like I'm on top of the world. Yes. Good news, Jameis has here to spread. I believe Monday after the Super Bowl, we got some big shit happening with Carl's Jr. Is that not accurate?

3:16:59Von Miller:Guys, it's the biggest day besides the Super Bowl, February 9th. All you have to do is log into My Rewards. That's the simple thing. You get a free burger. What? From Carl's Jr. The juiciest, most succulent, most resilient burger you're ever going to have. And it's free 99. What? Free? All you have to do is sign up on the app and create your My Rewards app and you get a free burger.

3:17:24Pat McAfee:Yeah, you go to Carl's Jr. app, you download that and free Hangover Breakfast Burger the day after the big game. All you got to do is sign up for My Rewards to claim your free burger on February 9th. What's the burger of choice for you, Jameis?

3:17:37Von Miller:Well, it's the Hangover Burger. A lot of people, after the big game, you know, Super Bowl game, I just asked you guys where you guys hung over. I know y 'all don't drink on this set. But at the end of the day, big games, big opportunities, and a lot of regrets, right? A lot of people that miss out on things. So I grabbed a nice hangover burger, and it replenishes me.

3:17:59Pat McAfee:What is it about the succulent meat of Carlos Jr. that really gets you?

3:18:02Von Miller:Oh, man, I like the way you said that. I think the juice. I mean, right now my mouth is watering as I speak about it. About the succulent. Because that succulent juice that just drips. Oh, spurging out of that Carl Jr. That drip drip. Oh, not just drip.

3:18:20Pat McAfee:It's almost like drip drop because you know how much is coming from Carl Jr.

3:18:23Von Miller:It's more of a drip drip. It's very, very specific, intentional drip. And it's right after the bite. But the most important thing is February 9th, all right, The next biggest day after the biggest event in the world to me, you get a free burger by signing up on my rewards app or call Junior. Yeah. Please. It's on me. Please. It's free.

3:18:44Pat McAfee:That's very nice. Thank you, James. Thank you, James.

3:18:46Von Miller:Thank you, James. You're the best guy. You're a good man. You're a star, okay? You guys are stars.

3:18:50Pat McAfee:Okay, tell me about football this year. We want you to be a starting quarterback. We want you playing every primetime game. We've actually said that a couple different times. Either you or Carson Wentz need to be on a team that is debuting in a new country. We would like you to be the starting quarterback for it. How was this last season for you? Your thoughts on kind of the year as backup, then we play a little bit, then you kind of continue in that world. How have you taken ownership of that, and how do you feel right now?

3:19:11Von Miller:Well, this season was very fun to be in the market of New York City and New Jersey, man, just been around those fans. The greatest city in the world. The greatest city in the world. The greatest city in the world. I can sing. But I believe this season, man, it was so – I would say it wasn't the season that we wanted it to be. And it was all because of finish, right? And I'm grateful that we got Coach Harbaugh. Coach John Harbaugh is about to do his thing. I'm happy that we got Matt Nagy as the offensive coordinator to work with this young quarterback that we got. That was one exciting thing that we saw offensively, that we got a nice young quarterback.

3:19:47Von Miller:But we got a finish. And I'm happy and grateful that we have the possibility of finishing stronger up under a new regime with Coach Harbaugh.

3:19:55Pat McAfee:Tell me about Jackson Dart a little bit. Obviously, he's super cool, isn't he? Super cool. He's swaggy.

3:20:00Von Miller:He's a vibe, man. One of the coolest, most laid-back competitors that you see. Yeah, he's smooth. He looks good. He knows he looks good. He's confident. But he's a competitor. He's fearless, man. He's a warrior out there on the field. A lot of people try to tell him, hey, man, stop getting hit so much. But let me tell you something.

3:20:17Pat McAfee:Well, just dive in head first.

3:20:18Von Miller:But the reason why is because we got another crazy rookie in Cam Scatbow. Four, four, and six. Now, he helped take the licks off Jackson. Who you said? Four, four, what? Four, four, and six. Four, four, and six. You know who that is? Let me tell you something. That Cam Scatbow, that's my four, four bulldog, my motherfucking pet. I'm trying to tell you. Straight like that.

3:20:38Pat McAfee:Pointed at somebody, tell the motherfucker fetch.

3:20:41Von Miller:And it does feel like he would just kind of go. He would, man. He's a go-getter, just like Jackson, man. And I think their personalities to see young players coming into this league hungry, not hungover off their NIL money. But if they were. But hungry, if they were, I would give them a college junior hangover bugger. Yeah, absolutely. But they're not.

3:21:01Pat McAfee:They're still excited and bright-eyed and bushy-tailed about what the future is.

3:21:04Von Miller:They are. And they also want to eat more W's, right? Like, you're coming from college, man, you get into the NFL. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah, you get to live your dream. But winning, you know this, winning is where it's at. And when you got a great young quarterback, I believe our defense is good, man. We got some great stars. We got a defensive line. I believe our DBs are good. Man, we got to get Cordell Flott back, man, Paulson Adebo. He was playing banged up a little bit. I think we got a good core. We just are required to finish in the fourth quarter and win some football games.

3:21:33Pat McAfee:I love where your mind's at. And Bruce Brown's in the back. He's a New York Giants fan. I can hear him just kind of succulently. Let's go, baby. Yeah, there he is right there. He's excited as well. He thinks the Giants have a very bright future. It sounds like you feel the exact same way. AJ has a question for you, Jameis.

3:21:49James Winston:Yeah, we've seen in the past you've had some very unique workouts in the offseason, maybe some of your quarterback workouts. I'm curious for this offseason, what's your plans? What have you been doing? Is there anything you're adding into your repertoire?

3:21:59Von Miller:In terms of just consistency, doing more position-specific type things, because one thing I know about me is God has blessed me with an incredible arm. Rock it for him. Right, so just staying technique sound and focusing on the little things, just building on those things. It's the 10 ,000-hour rule. I've been doing this for a long time. Now you've got to tune up those things. I'm actually going to spend some time, some great quality time with Jackson out there working out with him out in L.A. And I think one thing about being an older quarterback, working with a young quarterback, you get that hunger.

3:22:28Von Miller:Again, you see the young guy moving around. You want to move around like that. And then you compete. You compete to keep that competitive nature. And my trainer, Otis Leverett, will be out there with me. So you probably see some viral moments, some viral clips, man. Hell yeah. We've got to look at this game. Look how this game is played. Right. Like at the quarterback position, you have to extend plays. Right. You have to be able to break tackles when it's called for. Right. And you got to be able to sit in the pocket and make those throws.

3:22:51Pat McAfee:Yeah. So you've always been blessed with this year.

3:22:54Von Miller:Yeah.

3:22:54Pat McAfee:Yeah. Everything. You can throw everything, you think. How are you at like baseball? You throw baseball? Baseball, yes. Oh, yeah. What else? Rocks. You throw rocks? Rocks, yes.

3:23:03Von Miller:He was big time baseball. Yes, big time baseball. Yes, I actually started on the baseball field before I did the football field.

3:23:09Pat McAfee:Oh, yeah, I remember you in the hat the whole. Yeah. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah.

3:23:11Von Miller:Where were you? What position? Pitcher? I was outfield. I was outfield and I was a closer. Did you see the curveball? I could see everything. I could see everything. No, actually.

3:23:19Pat McAfee:At the time, you could not.

3:23:20Von Miller:Actually, you could not. Yeah. No, I actually wore contacts in baseball. Have to.

3:23:25Pat McAfee:And then said, fuck it. I'm the quarterback. I don't need to see anything.

3:23:28Von Miller:Well, I'm seeing bodies, right? I'm like, I got this. You know what I'm saying?

3:23:32Pat McAfee:I think that was one of the most impressive things of all time with how impressive you were as a quarterback. And then we find out Jameis actually couldn't see anything that was happening on the field. to get a LASIK, you kind of do your entire thing. 40-60.

3:23:44Rob Woodson:I was just told you see 40 feet is 60 feet? No, 40-60 vision.

3:23:48Pat McAfee:It had to be worse than that. I mean, it had to be the worst of all time. I got 20-15 now. LASIK's the greatest.

3:23:54Von Miller:Yeah, LASIK's amazing.

3:23:55Pat McAfee:You wake up like the next morning and it's like, wow, I didn't know the world was like this.

3:23:57Von Miller:I'm reading stop signs and license plates and stuff. I never knew they had those. Yeah.

3:24:04Rob Woodson:Stop sign.

3:24:05Pat McAfee:He was playing quarterback in the NFL then. Tone has a question for you.

3:24:08Von Miller:All right, off of that, who's the better baseball player, you or Russell Wilson? Me and Russ had this conversation a lot, you know, and he knows that I'll strike him out. Obviously, he did it at a huge level. He played for the Yankees. Yeah, every spring training. Yeah, so, like, his was more. What do you mean? Spring training, look, strategic. Russell Wilson is a strategic genius. He did play for the Yankees. Don't do him like that. But I will strike Russell's butt out, you know. But, man, I was really grateful that Jackson got a chance to be with myself and Russell Wilson in the quarterback room.

3:24:47Von Miller:Man, seeing Russell Wilson being the Super Bowl winning quarterback, future Hall of Fame quarterback that he is, humble himself and serve this young quarterback with the type of swag. Like, Jackson has so much swag. Like, for Russ, Russ could have easy to just kept quiet, stayed to the side and just, like, I'm going to let the young buck do it. But Russ was proactive, man. We were working. We were there 8 o 'clock at night, man, still studying, watching film, helping this young kid prepare, man. And it was something that was made where Jackson got to see early on the love and the obsessive trait that is required to be an elite quarterback in this league.

3:25:23Von Miller:So for him to get that his first year, seeing a Super Bowl winning quarterback, seeing a quarterback that's thrown for a gazillion yards, right, that's won good football games in this league, and him being a rookie being thrown out there, right, in circumstances that wasn't easy for a lot of us in that room, right? Because they brought Russ in. I went up there and signed. They signed Russ two weeks later. Yeah, yeah. We thought you were getting a shot. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? So all of us were in those situations, circumstances, conditions, and facts that don't really matter. What matters is our choices and decisions and how we respond to anything that comes our way.

3:26:00Pat McAfee:Have you always been that way? What? What you mean? Just like always, you know, feels like you just – I mean, every time we talk to you, we think to ourselves, hey, this guy's fucking always says the right thing to me.

3:26:09Von Miller:It's a growth process. And I think, honestly, I'm grateful that the NFL has allowed me to endure that growth. One of my favorite scriptures, Philippians 4.13, I can do all things through Christ through him who strengthens me. But before that, Paul is in jail talking about being good with a lot and being good with little. And he talks about how he learned the secret of being content. right? Everybody talks about, I can do, you know, with God, I can do anything I put my mind to, but no one talks about when you are in those high places, when you're having success, right? And when you're in those low places, it's equal, right?

3:26:45Von Miller:That contentment doesn't mean satisfaction, but that contentment is required to be the light that we're all required to be. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you. You did a prayer for us last year. I think I just ran it. It was great to hear.

3:26:57Pat McAfee:I mean, you immediately went into it. We are not joking about your name here. We are getting out here. I love that that is something that you've leaned on, been very public about. And also, you've always just remained true to who you are. You are. Yeah. You're an OG in that, James. This is why we all love you. Go ahead, Connor.

3:27:13Brock Purdy:A guy similar to that who also is going to be a first overall pick, Heisman winner, national champion, Fernando Mendoza. You're probably one of the only people that can understand, you know, all the success he has had and then kind of being bestowed on, hey, you are now the face of this NFL team. and go and make them a contender, make them a team that will be playing in the Super Bowl. What is he going through right now? Just kind of going through the entire season, finishing on a high note, winning basically every award, and now having to kind of pivot to, hey, I'm about to be the number one pick in the NFL draft.

3:27:46Brock Purdy:What is his kind of process right now?

3:27:49Von Miller:His process right now should be embracing everything that God has given him in terms of his accolades, this Indiana football team. Man, shout out to them, honestly. I never would have thought in a million years that Indiana would be the national champions. So what they've done, what Coach Sinetti has done in that program is exciting. Really, what their boosters have done in terms of providing funds for these guys is exciting. It's amazing. But Fernando, embrace where he's at. That time will come. Obviously, he's focusing on what he would love. He would love to be the number one draft pick, so he's preparing for that.

3:28:21Von Miller:He's practicing his meetings with coaches. Like, man, you're going to get it. But staying who you are is the most important thing. He's proud about his faith. He knows. He was at Cal a year ago. And Florida State, when Florida State had beat Cal, the Cal Bears, a year ago, Florida State some street kids. Man, there's some good old days, man.

3:28:39Rob Woodson:Florida State's winning the game. Yeah, that's cool.

3:28:42Von Miller:Florida State is coming back. Florida State, Coach Mike Norvell, is doing his thing, man. We're coming back. We have to adjust to this new NIL college football, right? But back to Fernando. Man, he is preparing to be his very best and not worrying about the naysayers, not worrying about the people that pat him on the butt. He's focused on being the best quarterback that he can be right now.

3:29:02AQ Shipley:Last question for you, James, from D-Bud. Yeah, obviously you're still playing, but I love what you've been doing on TV as well. I think you're going to have an unbelievable career in TV. So I want to kind of ask you from that role, what do you expect and what do you expect to see from these two quarterbacks who kind of have obviously different points in their career? What do you expect for these defenses to come out and show them early in this game on Sunday?

3:29:21Von Miller:Well, I think in terms of the fan engagement, what do we love? We love a story, right? And Sam Donald, he gives us that story of his resilience, his perseverance, being with eight different teams, you know, however many teams he was with. But now to be in a position where last year, you know, he showed that he was capable of doing it. But this year to be in a position and lead the Seahawks to a Super Bowl is impressive, right? But we know that we know this, and he knows this because he was a special teams ace. Man, defense wins championships. Both of these defenses are fast, they are tough, and they are the most insane defenses that I've seen in a long time.

3:29:56Von Miller:It was three teams that I thought, well, four teams, including Sean Payne's Denver Broncos, the Houston Texans, the Seattle Seahawks, and the New England Patriots. Their team camaraderie about how they swarm and attack the ball on defense was electric this year. But obviously young Drake May, him being this new upcoming of, you know, everybody trying to go ahead and crown him the next thing. But seriously, everybody trying to crown him the next thing. He has a lot on his shoulders, right? But what he has been doing well and what the most important thing that a quarterback does is win football games.

3:30:29Von Miller:He doesn't have to do too much. He doesn't have to go and create this Super Bowl winning moment. Obviously, the team wants him to do that. I think Sam has more to prove in terms of fan engagement to the world because we've seen him on these big moments, right? And now we're all rooting for him to come through and win. But, Drake, this is going to be our first time really all eyes being on Drake May as he lead the New England Patriots back to their promised land.

3:30:57Brock Purdy:Oh, yeah. And to your point, too, the Pats game against the Giants was where Jackson Dart tiptoed down the sideline. It was like, hey, man. Oh, God, absolutely. Time to stay either out of bounds or.

3:31:07Pat McAfee:Don't you think you say, like you talk about his competitive fire and how guys like it and everything. When he was just diving head first. Crazy. Don't you think that is a time for you to maybe say, hey, young man.

3:31:19Rob Woodson:We don't need to throw CT on a platter like that.

3:31:22Von Miller:Listen, man, I remember my rookie year, and I don't know if we could pull a clip, man, but we're playing against the Atlanta Falcons in the old Georgia Dome, man, and we're called a tall sweep to Doug Martin on the right-hand side. I remember tossing that ball to Doug Martin. I pulled like I was a freaking pulling guard, man, and I went and tried to knock out the middle linebacker. Now, it was a stalemate, right? I didn't go backwards. I didn't go backwards. But, literally, I remembered that moment, right, and we went on to win that game. But later on in the season, man, it was a third and 17 in Tampa Bay, man, and I scrambled and everything, and I had to get the first down.

3:31:55Von Miller:We were going to lose the game. And I ran over that same linebacker, and I turned out of it, and then I got the first down. We ended up kicking a field goal to win the game, man. Like, as a young quarterback, you have to play with your instincts, right? You can get coached from, like, oh, Jackson, you shouldn't be tiptoeing on the sideline. Never tiptoeing on the sideline when you're a quarterback, right? They're trying to knock your head off, right? But he's learning, and he's getting better, and he's going to be fun to watch for years to come.

3:32:19Rob Woodson:Yeah, you're tough to tackle. What was that? Catch this year, right? Oh, yeah, against the Lions. Yes. Yeah.

3:32:24Von Miller:It was magical. Yeah. Look at this quarterback. Look at Gunner O'Shefsley. Oh, coming back to the football. Oh, my God. Come on. Sit down. Sit down. Wow. How'd that feel? That felt good. Man, it felt great, man. I was waiting for that opportunity, and it came.

3:32:38Pat McAfee:Gunner. Okay, speaking of opportunity, did you play hoops? You played baseball? You played football? You played hoops?

3:32:43Von Miller:I was not a good basketball, my wife actually, she was a collegiate athlete in basketball.

3:32:48Pat McAfee:Any of that transfer over to you ever?

3:32:50Von Miller:Well, a lot of games, a lot of win being played in my house. We don't play out, we play win, right? Because if I lose, I win. But anyways, a lot of that being played in my household. Yes, yes. Good idea.

3:33:05Rob Woodson:I got a W, I got an I, I got an N, win.

3:33:09Von Miller:Thank you.

3:33:10Pat McAfee:James, you do not have to sit down. You can do whatever you'd like and if you make it.

3:33:18Von Miller:Nothing but the back of the goal. That was a pickleball. You're a pickleball champion? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually just won. Did you see the lady that was just out here? Yes, she was world class pickleballer, huh? Number one. Number one in the world. Got a Nike deal. She's got a Nike deal for pickleball. Now think about if we knew pickleball was a sport when we was coming. I know. I know we ain't no pickleball sport.

3:33:40Von Miller:All I'm saying is, me and him ain't have no membership at the YMCA to play pickleball. That's all I'm saying. We was at the Boys and Girls Club and it wasn't no pickleball up in there. It was two hand touch, it was probably some kickball, but it wasn't no pickleball. That's all I'm saying.

3:34:01Pat McAfee:I guess Jameis does rhyme with racist, doesn't it? I guess it does. Racist James.

3:34:08Von Miller:Let me tell you one thing that I am not. I am not racist. I'm not. Me being from the down south Alabama, I know what racism looks like. I know what presidents look like. And I dispute that. But let me tell you what I mean. I'm a lover, but I know about demographics. Let me tell you something about demographics. It's different for us. Probably not now. I don't understand, but pickleball.

3:34:40Pat McAfee:I didn't play either. I just learned pickleball a couple years ago. What a game, though.

3:34:44Von Miller:What a game. Yeah. And Jameis Rimes was famous. And also. No, it doesn't. Well, not actually. I would like to let you know never actually.

3:34:54Pat McAfee:Jameis, if you're able to make this shot. Okay. Okay, you already had a range finder. You're a professional ball thrower. We think you'd probably be able. $20 ,000 donation to a charity of your choosing. Oh, wow.

3:35:03Von Miller:Okay.

3:35:03Pat McAfee:If you make it in the second or third attempt, cuz you will get three attempts, it's only a$10 ,000 donation. So let's make sure we go ahead and make this one. Now look above you, there's lights and cameras.

3:35:11Von Miller:Thank you. And there's action.

3:35:15Rob Woodson:God, that would have been cool.

3:35:18Von Miller:And there's action. That would have been incredible. Hey, there's lights and cameras and - It wasn't meant to be. You got one more. I got one more. That was three. That was two. Great pass.

3:35:30Brock Purdy:That's a good pass. Great catch. For 10 grand. My goodness. The ball curving on the wind James runs the lamest to

3:35:40AJ Hawk:I got your ass. He's rude as day. James before we get out of here.

3:35:45Von Miller:And resilient.

3:35:48Pat McAfee:James before we get out of here, would you like to say a good word for us so we can have a great rest of Super Bowl Vegas tradition?

3:35:53Von Miller:Yeah, absolutely. By your heads, Heavenly Father, Lord, we just thank you. We thank you for Pat and we thank you for his team and how they are continuing to advance your kingdom with just their boldness on their show of saying your name, Jesus, and standing by it. We're not playing with you, Lord. We know the importance of our faith. We know the importance of being resilient and persevering and being that light to the earth that we were called to be. So, Lord, I just pray that you help all these athletes here at the Super Bowl, provide everybody with traveling graces as they move around the city.

3:36:27Von Miller:Allow these teams, please protect these teams from all hurt, harm, and danger, and allow his staff and his crew to continue to be the best staff and crew that sports has seen. Lord, I'm so grateful every time I get to be on here with Pat and his squad. Lord, allow them just to continue to be the very best. Lord, we love you and give you all the glory and praise. Amen. Amen. Thank you.

3:36:46Rob Woodson:Hey, Jesus, I don't know where you were on his shots, but I appreciate you for us. You're the best. He made this happen. Yes, he did. And we are thankful for that. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, James Winston. Thank you, James.

3:36:57Pat McAfee:God, I feel better, don't you? Yeah, unbelievable. You're the best. See you for the Monday. See you, James. Monday burger. Yeah.

3:37:04Rob Woodson:Free hangover. Hangover burger.

3:37:06Pat McAfee:Got eggs on there, probably.

3:37:08Rob Woodson:Yeah, probably.

3:37:09James Winston:Succule.

3:37:09Rob Woodson:Hey, succulent juices. Succulent eggs?

3:37:12Pat McAfee:As he was going through that prayer there and he started, like, complimenting us, it was hard for me not to just, like, kind of get out of my prayer mode and look over and be like, I think Jesus knows you're not telling the truth there a little bit. But that was very nice of him to say.

3:37:22AJ Hawk:Yeah, he's just waiting for continued continuations of what we're doing. Mm-hmm.

3:37:26Pat McAfee:You're super Italian today, it feels like. Is that whenever you put the costume on, you say, you know what, today? Italian Thursday.

3:37:31AJ Hawk:It's Super Bowl. So, you know, you just go back to your roots. You do what you do to get that got you here. And I felt like this is the best representation of that.

3:37:39Pat McAfee:How do you feel about Mitt standing at that podium over there? Because I'm looking this way a lot. He was working hard today. So every once in a while, I'll turn back this way and kind of see everybody that's out there very thankful and there's new faces in places that show up here. But Mitt kind of behind the podium has really felt like where he has found his home. Don't you think, Ty?

3:37:55Thor Bjornsson:Yeah, he's absolutely killing it. I saw him, you know, chatting with the, he really wanted us to get the pickleball thing in. Yeah, big time. He spent all day talking to her. There was a lot of pressure. Yeah. Yeah.

3:38:05Pat McAfee:Mitt really liked the pickleball. Yes, he did. Yeah. And Mitt overnight said, hey, we got a pickleball champion. One boy in the world has a Nike deal. He was selling it like multiple times.

3:38:14Thor Bjornsson:He was.

3:38:15Pat McAfee:It feels like Mitt is a massive fan of pickleball, and we appreciate that. You've done a great job these last two days, Mitt. That a baby, Mitt.

3:38:20Christian McCaffrey:Thank you. Thank you.

3:38:23Rob Woodson:That's that dude. Good job. All right. Good job, Mitt. Good job, Mitt. So what do I do? Hi. Hi, my name's Emmett. What's your name? Do you want to come on the show?

3:38:35Pat McAfee:Stay at the podium? I say let them know we don't expect them to come on the show, but we'd be very grateful. So we're honored.

3:38:43Rob Woodson:Like I'm super honored to come on. He's the greatest. Thank you, man.

3:38:50Pat McAfee:All right, we got to get out of here. Hey, let's have a great Thursday night. Absolutely. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow's show.

3:38:58Thor Bjornsson:Yeah. A1.

3:39:00Pat McAfee:We got Hall of Fame face-off to start this thing. What? Yeah, the Hall of Famers who are named tonight will be here together. It will not be the Hall of Fame voters. It will be the actual Hall of Famers that get named tonight, and they will be doing a Hall of Fame face-off trivia game to kind of kick off the show for a$50 ,000 donation to a youth football program of the winning team's choosing. It should be a blast. I think we're going to have a lot of names here. Obviously, Friday at Radio Row kind of heightens everything, Although the energy has been spectacular the last two days. We're thankful and grateful to be here.

3:39:27Pat McAfee:Boys, great work today, AJ.

3:39:29James Winston:Thank you.

3:39:30Pat McAfee:Great work by you.

3:39:31Rob Woodson:Looks like you didn't get too high on the highs today.

3:39:34James Winston:No, I did. I'm not gonna lie though. I did not enjoy having that snake wrapped around my arm. Just hold him wide. Con man was getting rested. You handled it well. I tried to. I felt like this head was starting to crawl up my sleeve. Priscilla, yeah.

3:39:44Rob Woodson:Priscilla. Robert Irwin.

3:39:46Pat McAfee:Yeah.

3:39:46Rob Woodson:Love that guy.

3:39:47Pat McAfee:We got, the world's got the right one. Yeah. I need more of him. Who else was, Christian McCaffrey was today.

3:39:53Rob Woodson:I forgot about him. Thor.

3:39:55AJ Hawk:Thor.

3:39:55Rob Woodson:Thor. Yeah, him calling AQ fat. 600 pounds.

3:40:00AJ Hawk:AQ wanted me to remind everyone he never used the word fat, but we knew what he was talking about.

3:40:04Pat McAfee:He looked at him and said, this guy is such a fatso, I'm not going to let him affect him. Get the fuck out of here.

3:40:09Rob Woodson:600 pounds.

3:40:10Pat McAfee:Break my legs.

3:40:11Rob Woodson:What do they speak there in Iceland? What is the? I was trying to.

3:40:16Brock Purdy:Icelandic. Yeah, I was trying to kind of.

3:40:18Thor Bjornsson:I'll tell you what. Then when he said his name at the end, I was like, oh, boy. Don't they speak Viking?

3:40:22Brock Purdy:Yeah, it's very Swedish sounding. Used to. Scandinavian.

3:40:26Pat McAfee:All right. Well, I appreciate everybody that stopped by. Icelandic is a North Germanic. Germanic? Yep. Language spoken by roughly 390 ,000 people, mostly in Iceland, where it is the official language. It's highly conservative, closely resembling Old Norse.

3:40:39Rob Woodson:Yeah. Boom. What you could hear. The Norse gods, if you will.

3:40:42Pat McAfee:The boys, I can't wait to see you guys say hello to all these people. No, I can't. I can't.

3:40:47Brock Purdy:We have meetings. Sorry. Yeah. Dude, I got to go hit the wall, brother. I'm back.

3:40:56Rob Woodson:Yeah, we're both. What was she using? I don't know. She was using Dolphins. She had a Dolphins battle, yeah. And we know that would never.

3:41:03Thor Bjornsson:Yeah. That's why she had no chance.

3:41:05Rob Woodson:Well, she kind of did, actually. She put that. Best in the world. She was really good. She was really good. Yeah.

3:41:10Pat McAfee:I thought I had her whenever the thing bounced back. Me too. Then she hit a bum bum.

3:41:13Rob Woodson:Yeah. Right back at me. Well, Dolphins colds kind of on the same level.

3:41:17Brock Purdy:Yes.

3:41:19Pat McAfee:Oh, shut up.

3:41:20Brock Purdy:Because they are. Not here.

3:41:21Pat McAfee:How about everybody just feeling obligated to have to address you that the Patriots are in there? Is that a pretty good little power position for you?

3:41:27Brock Purdy:It's very funny. Wrigel really didn't want to say, hey, I'm all over Seattle. I love the Seahawks. I kind of sensed that from him. So to kind of grab that out of him and then just drop a fuck you knowing that it's coming, that's a really good point.

3:41:42Pat McAfee:He wanted Patriots fans to still want to watch his movies and stuff. Yeah, which we always will.

3:41:47Brock Purdy:His performance in 22 Jump Street will always warrant a watch from New Englanders.

3:41:52Pat McAfee:And Marine, you know, a lot of respect. Ty, great work today, buddy.

3:41:56Thor Bjornsson:I thank you. You as well.

3:41:58Pat McAfee:Are you going to have a couple of Jack and Gingers?

3:42:01Thor Bjornsson:Yeah. Tonight. What time is it?

3:42:04Brock Purdy:Yeah. It is night. It's 12.53. Yeah, we're on East Coast time still, baby. Give me about 15 minutes.

3:42:09Pat McAfee:Ty, how has the trip been for you? Awesome. Yeah, you've been enjoying it?

3:42:12Brock Purdy:Zero complaints. The best trip of my life.

3:42:14Pat McAfee:Deep.

3:42:16AQ Shipley:In your life. Yeah.

3:42:17Pat McAfee:D-Butz, how about you?

3:42:18AQ Shipley:It's close. I got sitting next to Rob Wilson today. How about him just hanging? That's one of, for me, when I started watching football like that, was the guy. It was him and Dion when it came to DBs. You talk about greatest of all time, Mount Rushmore. He's on everybody's list.

3:42:32Pat McAfee:God, we're having a good time here. AJ, you enjoy anything or are you too high?

3:42:35AQ Shipley:No, this is awesome.

3:42:36Brock Purdy:I'm having a great time. AJ felt the same way about Administrator Terry to the point D-Butz just made. He always had his eyes on him.

3:42:42Rob Woodson:That was tough for me to get out. Administrator Terry.

3:42:45Pat McAfee:Because it doesn't feel like it has as much of a Terry Cole. I appreciate his messaging, though, and who we're trying to. How about the mayor came in here? Yeah, the mayor, he was great.

3:42:54Thor Bjornsson:Because I tell you what, when he first came up here, I said, wow, I got very low expectations.

3:42:59Pat McAfee:Well, he came out with hand open like this for a handshake, like a classic mayor move. Yeah. Hey. Yeah. One of those.

3:43:05Thor Bjornsson:He was very squirrely. Yeah, kind of a smarmy bastard. That's what I thought when I first saw him. And then he started talking. That's what he thought. And then he started talking, and I was like, this guy's good. Can you define what smarmy bastard?

3:43:16James Winston:Can you define that?

3:43:17Thor Bjornsson:You see it. When you see it, you know it. Exactly. You see someone, the way they look, the way they're kind of moving around. It's like, man, he's a smarmy bastard, this guy. But then he started talking. I was like, maybe he's not a smarmy bastard. Okay, maybe he just looks.

3:43:30AJ Hawk:I gave him a 28 % chance to like him, and he ended up like it. At 69%. Exactly.

3:43:35Rob Woodson:He came out with all those percentages. Definition of all.

3:43:38Pat McAfee:40%, 50%, 69 % now. We were at 28%. He was rattling through. I'm like, good for you nailing all these? Because he gets told all these percentages. But to be able to place them perfectly in all these different categories is great work. I think we need to just go hop in some Waymos and really enjoy San Francisco. No way.

3:43:55AJ Hawk:I got to pee, too. No fucking way.

3:43:57Rob Woodson:It's been about two hours. Yes, it has. This is quite a run for us. I'll tell you what. I looked down at all the guests we had lined up.

3:44:03Pat McAfee:We had a lot more. After Robert Irwin, when I started rattle them up, the boys, Rob Riggle, Brock Purdy, Justin Gaethje, Jameis Winston, Liam Cohen, Popsen.

3:44:12Brock Purdy:This is awesome. Purdy's a fiery son of a bitch. You can tell. He's a fucking... And I mean this in a good way. He's a fucking prick. He wanted to say fuck you to me. Oh, yeah. Sure. I love that guy now. Which he would have.

3:44:27Pat McAfee:I'm happy he didn't because he's class. Yeah, he is.

3:44:29Rob Woodson:But inside, he told you a bunch, which is why we appreciate that. He is class personified. Liam was fucking cool. Yeah.

3:44:35Pat McAfee:Louis V. Cool as fuck. Dripped out the whole time. He looked pretty good, too. You remember? He was getting a little...

3:44:41Rob Woodson:That's because Saul was breathing down his neck. Yeah, you're right. He needs to be in fighting ship. Gaethje? Holy shit.

3:44:46Pat McAfee:Those ears. Those ears. Both of them.

3:44:48Brock Purdy:Why doesn't he just cut them off? Hey, dude, all you need is holes, brother. They don't work anymore. You still hear. You know, the cartilage is just there.

3:44:56Pat McAfee:Boys in the back, great work. Great work, boys. Really good stuff. I like the double guns there from the back. We have a little bit more space back here. It's nice. Yeah. Beautiful. It's been nice. Tony, you okay?

3:45:08AJ Hawk:You know what's going on.

3:45:09Rob Woodson:And I know what you're doing. Me? What are you doing? And I know you have somewhere to be. I appreciate this crowd out here. Thank you guys for hanging with us. Thank you, guys. Really appreciate that. Thank you, J.R. Mahons.

3:45:20Pat McAfee:Yeah, the Irish lads are here. It's great to see. That is great to see. The last time I saw them, we were drinking 100 Guinnesses. I see a West Virginia Mountaineer quarters up. I appreciate the hell out of that. This is the big Italian guy with the last name Meekum. That's good.

3:45:33James Winston:Oh, yeah, Meekum. No, it's Meekum. He's been there the whole time. Put a dash in there.

3:45:37Pat McAfee:He's been there the whole time? Yeah. That's happened in the past to a couple different. There's the whole crew right there. Thank you all so much for hanging out with us. You are on camera right now. You can't see it because the cameras are turned. Yeah, you look good. Packers got him far right. Oh, shit.

3:45:48Rob Woodson:Double thumbs up.

3:45:49Pat McAfee:Appreciate him. Double thumbs up. Yeah, appreciate that.

3:45:51Rob Woodson:Holy shit. Vaughn Miller's here. Go to the podium. Go to the podium. Go to the podium. Tom. Oh, you hate Vaughn Miller. Tom, you're leaving against Vaughn Miller. You son of a bitch.

3:45:59Pat McAfee:Hey, Vaughn. Vaughn, that microphone's on. Can you hear? Okay, yeah, come in. There's a spot right here or right here. Whatever you want to do, Vaughn. You're Vaughn Miller. Greener Pastures. Oh, hell yeah. Greener Pastures, dude. I appreciate you, man.

3:46:10Rob Woodson:What are you doing? Are you out here talking a good word about your chickens? What's up, Vaughn? Vaughn, what's up, dude? Cool new merch. Yeah, what are we doing? Are you talking about the chickens? Is that what we're down here for?

3:46:20Matt Ryan:Yeah, just spreading the word, continuing to spread the word. Greener Pastures chicken is the only USDA-approved organic pasture-raised chicken farm in the United States. You guys know about it. How's that?

3:46:31Rob Woodson:Hold on. That feels like a very big deal right there.

3:46:34Matt Ryan:I mean, I try to win Super Bowls on and off the football field, and I'm trying to do the same thing. I like that. That's good.

3:46:40Pat McAfee:Hey, that's a good promo. That's a good promo right there. The merch is obviously sweet. If I wanted to buy some wingies, I just go to the website. How do I go about getting your wingies?

3:46:49Matt Ryan:Greenandpastureschicken.com. We actually have a special on chicken wings right now for the big game on Sunday. Greenandpastureschicken.com. Get you a wing bundle.

3:46:56Pat McAfee:Are you doing thighs now, too? Because I know.

3:46:58Matt Ryan:Thighs. Chicken tenders. Bread. Oh. Everything.

3:47:04Pat McAfee:Oh, what do you put on the tendies? You ketchup and hot sauce, or what is your go-to?

3:47:09Matt Ryan:So for me, a little onion powder, a little garlic powder. Yeah, you know, seasoning. If you're not using salt, you can kind of get crazy with that. You don't have to measure it. But you know how it tastes. The bird speaks for its surf. The way that our birds were raised, it really speaks for its surf.

3:47:24Pat McAfee:Cluck, cluck, it says, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. It certainly does. How are you feeling? How's the body? You look incredible.

3:47:29Matt Ryan:Man, I'm feeling good. I beat 37 in March. Can you believe offensive linemen are still falling for this streak? They're still falling for it, so I'm going to keep going.

3:47:38AQ Shipley:D-Bone has a question for you, Vaughn. Super Bowl MVP, man. How often do you think about that? I know this time of year brings those memories back. And what was your feeling going into that game when it was time for kickoff?

3:47:49Matt Ryan:You know, we all have dreams. You know, as a football player, you always had a dream to play in a Super Bowl and win a Super Bowl. Never in the mean years did I have that dream that I would be a Super Bowl MVP. It just kind of happened. And when you're doing things for somebody else, you know, things like that happen. I was playing that game for Coach Kubiak, DeMarcus Ware, Peyton Manning, Wade Phillips. I was trying to get that experience for them, not myself. And it just full circle came back around, and I was able to win Super Bowl MVP.

3:48:17Pat McAfee:Whenever you talk about the offensive line still falling for it, have you added – is it – do you feel like you are still at the point of game wrecking? You have to, right? Don't you have to have that?

3:48:28Matt Ryan:The easiest way to wreck the game is sack, force, fumble on a quarterback, the softest guy on the football field. I'm still able to get there. Can I play 80 snaps a game? Probably not. But there are times in the game where I can still go in and be effective for sure.

3:48:44James Winston:AJ has a question for you. Yeah, I guess. What does your offseason look like now? I'd like to ask guys that, like, compared to when you were young.

3:48:51Matt Ryan:Yeah, so I had – it was like a clip when I was in Washington where I told reporter Nikki, I told her, I wish I would have tried harder when I was younger. Just naturally, as you get older, you know, things become tougher. I try harder. I get to a facility at 6.30 in the morning, weight room, nutrition. Like, I cross my T's and dot my I's on all of that stuff. I wish I would have started off like that. And sometimes you make the best decision that you can with the information that you have, and that's what I was doing. But I wish somebody told me, like, hey, stay on your body, stay in shape, do everything that you can to be the best football player that you can while you're still fast, bendy, while you still have the athletic ability.

3:49:31Matt Ryan:Because now it takes two hours to warm this engine up. I wish I would have had that same mentality when I was younger.

3:49:36Pat McAfee:Yeah, but that's why you learn, brother. That's kind of how it comes together. Go ahead, Con, man.

3:49:40Brock Purdy:Yeah, Vaughn, you were in Buffalo for a few years. Sean McDermott obviously just got let go. Were you surprised by that? What did you kind of learn from McDermott? And do you think he'll go on and do a very similar thing that he did in Buffalo, completely turn that place around somewhere else next year?

3:49:53Matt Ryan:Coach McDermott took the Buffalo Bills from the seller, the laughing stock, to premier team in the NFL. Every year that they have Josh Allen, they have an opportunity to go win a Super Bowl. That was Coach McDermott, Brandon Bean. Josh Allen, of course, they did that for the Buffalo Bills. I did not see it coming. That's me personally. I didn't see him getting fired. But when I use my brain and you think about the business side of it, it makes sense. Yeah. So from the emotional side, personal side, no, didn't make sense. But, you know, the mental side, the business side, yeah, it makes sense. Do you still want to be a GM?

3:50:29Matt Ryan:Still want to do that. It'll always be my dream. Brandon Bean was great in really fueling that flame. Adam Peters with the Washington Commanders, he's done the same thing. So as long as I keep guys like that around me, I always had a dream.

3:50:42Pat McAfee:Yeah, you're one of the game's greats. They're going to want to keep you around, brother. We're pumped for you. We just talked to Matt Ryan, president of football down there at Atlanta. We like seeing former players get into positions of power, especially for the future of ball. Vaughn, we hope to see that. Now, how are you as a hooper?

3:50:54Matt Ryan:Man, I'm terrible. But I might get lucky sometimes. I do get lucky. I do get lucky. Is it life in general or in hoops? On the football field, on the basketball court. Golf course, you get lucky? Yeah, I can put some rounds together for sure.

3:51:08Pat McAfee:All right, will you make this shot for charity? Now, if it goes in,$20 ,000 to a charity. Hold on, hold on. You got to keep it on so we can talk shit to you while you're shooting.

3:51:15Rob Woodson:Yep, yep. It's part of the process. Hold on now. Come on Vaughn. $20 ,000 to a charity of your choosing. If you're able to make the first shot here, this is Vaughn Miller. Super MVP. Of course. Some guys. Of course. I do get lucky sometimes. Must be tough. Yeah, geez. Ladies and gentlemen, Greener Pastures Chicken founder, owner, Vaughn Miller. Yeah, Vaughn. Thanks for stopping by. Good to see you.

3:51:42Pat McAfee:Man. Great fit. It like fits him pretty good. Talks the table, stand up, say goodbye. Come on. I mean, that's like kind of New England, Vaughn.

3:53:38Robert Irwin:Brian Pata, senior defensive lineman from Miami. Gunned down. The key to this case, it's Brian.

3:53:45Brock Purdy:Boy, he's ripped it. An hour before he died, he was on the phone arguing what's about. This might be a hit. You want the truth. Biggest one of convictions. We had a killer amongst us.

3:53:56AQ Shipley:Murder at the U. Listen now. 911, where is the emergency?

3:54:01Thor Bjornsson:It's the middle of the night in a small town on the Jersey Shore. Someone reports an abandoned car on a bridge. A search gets underway for the missing driver, 19-year-old Sarah Stern. Is it a missing person? Is it a suicide? At this point, nobody knows. Old friendships, buried cash, and a sinister plot that was once pitched as a movie plays out in real life. I'm Juju Chang from 2020 and ABC Audio.
