Pardon my day. Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours. Today is Friday, October 10th and PFT. What a night of sports. We just had it.

Had a little bit of everything, man. It was an incredible night of sports. Just a lot of drama, a lot of positive energy, a lot of heartbreak as well. Big Cat, congratulations. Let me be the first to congratulate Big Cat. Still one more on the Cubs.

Still one more. Still one more.

We're going back to Milwaukee. You guys, you guys packed a suit tonight. You said, hey, we're not done yet. We're gonna make a trip up.

Yep.

And what a what a dong fest.

You went to Tonight, we pounded them. We'll talk about the Cubs game. I was there. It was electric. I got some anecdotes, some. Some. Some great stories, but I missed everything that happened here. Where should we start?

Do you want to start with football or. Because a lot happened in football, or do you want to start in baseball? Because a lot happened in baseball, too.

Let's start with baseball. The Yankees lose.

The Yankees lose.

Yankee. That clip of Laddie and David Ortiz going back and forth. Do.

Yankees loose. And then he had Derek Jeter just sitting there.

And a rod.

And a rod. But you could tell it pissed. I think it pissed Derek Jeter off more. Yeah, it embarrassed a rod.

Correct.

But Derek Jeter was like, why the. Am I subjecting myself to this right now?

Yes.

I saw someone say that. Like Jericho Jeter and a rod. Kind of the first time they laughed with it because they knew, you know, it's part of the show. And then David Ortiz did it so many times to the point where they got mad again.

Yeah, right. They went through the wall.

He just kept doing.

Here's what I think. And, you know, I know they're kind of technically co workers at Fox Sports. I don't know how you can have chemistry on a show like that if you're rubbing your co workers face in a heartbreaking playoff loss. Yeah, I don't think that that's how you build a good sports show.

No.

And that's kind of goes against what we stand for here. Part of my take.

Bad camaraderie.

Bad camaraderie.

Yeah. So, yeah, the Yankees lose. They're going to bring back Aaron Boon. He said he expects to be back. The Jays are hot. The Jays are awesome. Vlad. I saw it. There was a stat out there. It was like four or five guys on the Yankees combined, like Volpe, Grisham. I think it was jazz chisholm. It was four guys, me, five guys who had 10 hits and Vladdy had nine himself. They just pounded him. That was awesome.

Judge hit that home run.

Yeah, listen.

That one.

I said. I said it. If they don't win that series, it is a footnote. And it is absolutely a footnote. I think Aaron Judge finished over.500 in the playoffs, hitting. Yeah. And I kept on hitting. I don't.

I think I feel like there was a guy in the Phillies Dodgers series that was even higher than that.

Who was that?

I was that. Was that Enrique?

I don't know.

Is that Kike? I don't know, but it's. It's crazy. He had a Great series. And Vladdy had an awesome series, too. And guess what? The Jays. The Blue Jays.

Yeah.

The Toronto Blue Jays, they're getting. They're getting Boba Shet back, I think, in the next round. So the Blue Jays are, They're, they're gonna be a handful, and they also, they're fun.

And they also get to watch the other AL series go to five. The Tigers win game four. Javi Baez, Fucking love him forever. It's going back to Seattle, which is, I mean, that's such a huge advantage for the Jays because now, you know, they got an elimination game on Friday. They play game one on Sunday. And that series is going to be fun. It's going to be fun to watch a game five.

I got one more quote from Blatty Junior. Oh, yeah, this goes back to 2022. He was doing an interview. They asked him about playing against the Yankees and he said, I, I like to play in New York. I like to kill the Yankees. I would never sign with the Yankees, not even dead.

Oh, I like that.

There's some good hate there.

Yeah.

And I, I also love the. From birth. Yeah. I, I love the scuba mask that he's wearing as he's like pouring beers on his face. He's got the snorkel. He's got the snorkel up there just so he can breathe while he's chugging.

Yep.

That was. That looked like a very fun scene. I think the Yankees should, personally, they should extend Aaron Boone. We've, We've said that on this podcast, but I feel like you need a steady hand. And I don't really know what Aaron Boone does with that team besides just like choose. He just chews stuff. Yeah. He's like a dog.

Yeah.

If you leave him alone and there's something in front of him, he will pick it up in his mouth and he will chew it. But outside of that, I don't know. I don't know what his, what his day to day is.

Bubbles are huge.

Yeah.

Yeah. So I. And then I guess we talk about the Cubs right now. They forced game five. It was electric at Wrigley Wednesday night. Thursday night. I was there for both of them. It was just awesome. The Cubs bats woke up. Matthew Boyd redeemed himself from Saturday's performance, gave us some strong innings. The bullpen, Nico, just keep. Nico is another guy. He's hitting like.400. Ian Hap, who has not been good. But that's why you give a guy like Ian Happ a long leash, because he hits a huge Three run homer. The Cubs just, they score. They scored more runs later on in the game tonight, but they are just a first inning team.

Didn't Ian Happ also hit three. Three balls that went to the warning track.

He should have had three home runs tonight.

Awesome night from him.

It was crazy. Everyone was hitting. Matt Shaw finally hit. I actually said to Titus and Eddie and my friend Dave, who I was at the game with, I was like, at some point, Matt Shaw had not gotten a hit in the playoffs, so his average was zero. I was like, do you even want to get a hit at this point? Because then it's just going to be like 10 cents.

Yeah. Because if some, if somebody sees your stat line, it's like, oh, he batted zero in the playoffs. You, you assume maybe he's a pinch hitter. Yeah, maybe he got in like maybe for one game.

Yeah. Right.

And that's it.

Right. This is his first game.

But he, but if it's like a weird number that's very low, then you're.

Like, oh, no, he balled his. He, he, he has grinded his ass off. Like, you know, woke up in this game pitching. Like I said, the bullpen has been awesome. Outside of a Kittridge mistake, the bullpen has been absolute nails the last two games. And all the pressure is back on the brewers because Freddie Peralta went tonight. And I got to say, the, one of the best moments, Hank was there too. We weren't sitting together, but in the first inning there was just a completely organic chant that started for the whole stadium that was just Freddy, Freddy. And like those moments where everyone's doing it and it's like not planned at all. And it just, it continued for like four straight innings where I was actually practicing my Freddy chant. When we, when, when we were pitching, I was like, I got to stay warm for the next inning because when he comes back out, we're going to have to say Freddie again.

Shout out to the absolute legend. Because there's a, There' probably a group of guys out there that knows that it's them that started the entire Freddy Chan and they can say for the rest of their lives, yeah, that was me. I chant started.

It was somewhere like under the overhang on the first or third base side. So those guys probably like the 200 level third base side, probably halfway between home and third base. Whoever was there, you started the Freddy Chan. I could tell you that was where it came from. And the whole crowd had it and it was fucking awesome.

They're going to tell their kids about that one day. Yeah, they can tell their grandkids about that. They're going to. They're going to have a blast retelling that.

And I Listen. Game 5 is going to be like, the Cubs don't really have pitching. Kate Horton can't come back unless someone gets hurt. Which I was actually. I don't want anyone to get hurt, but I was also hoping that Ben Brown, he was warming up. I was hoping he'd come in and do the Rodney Dangerfield on my arm. So that would have made Milwaukee so mad. Yeah. Kate Horton could have started game five. So we don't have pitching. They don't really have pitching. It's going to be. Just grab your nuts. Yeah. Who wants it more? I'm just happy we're going back. The season's continuing. It's been so much fun.

I also appreciated the Green Bay sucks. Like later in the game, the game was kind of over. It was. It was five nothing, six nothing. And it was turned into Green Bay sucks.

Yeah. And then the. Oh, special shout out. Renee, who sold me the 5050 ticket. It was her birthday today. Oh, happy birthday. So I was nervous about this game. I put my kids to bed and it was like, I looked at the clock, it was like 7:05 and the game started at 8. I just went to Wrigley. I ate two hot dogs just sitting by myself in my seats for. I was probably there for like 45 minutes before the game.

You got to soak it all in.

Yeah. Hey. I was just like, I. I don't know what to do right now.

Couple hot dogs to like calm your senses a little bit.

Yeah. Younger me would have gone to the bar, but like, I was like, I had to put my kids to bed. So I'm. I'm just going to do that and then I'm just going to go to Wrigley. And it was. The 8 o' clock start is tests of a man of my age. But it was fucking awesome, Hank. It was electric right then.

When it was 50, I just checked.

I didn't either. That's okay.

Sorry.

I mean, listen, we don't. We don't win. We're 4 and 1 right now in the playoffs at home. And the one loss is when I won the 50 50. So.

Yeah.

Yeah. Awesome. Awesome crowd. Just popping like from the first pitch. Just always into it, standing the whole time.

8:00 clock on a Thursday in Chicago.

People is.

People were.

It was buzz blasting blasted in the crowd. You could just feel it right from the first pitch. Like people Are fucking tuned up, so. It was awesome. You guys are streaming.

Yeah. Yeah. Myself, Max, Che, Chief, Nikki, Smokes, Connor. There are a lot of guys there tonight. Shout out to everybody that was in the cave. A lot of sports going on. So we. We watched your game. Yeah, when it was on, uh, we also watched the football game, which was incredible. I don't know if you read anything about the football game tonight.

I saw some skit Cam scatters.

It was a Cam scatter Boo clinic.

I don't know if we want to.

Get to that first or if we want to.

Max, you decide.

You can do whatever the fuck you want.

Okay.

All right. Would it be better if we eased into it by talking about the last Phillies Dodgers game?

Oh, yeah. You won. You won game three. That was a great game. Schwarber.

Schwarber.

Yeah.

That was so sad.

1. One last night, lost tonight.

That was so sad when they sent Clayton Kershaw out there and they were just like, go burn some outs for us.

Yeah.

And he would. He was so thankful to get out of that inning.

Yeah.

That was a tough watch for him.

Yeah.

And he kept talking about him like he was a dog. Like an old dog. It's like. And one last round for Old Yeller out there.

Out there.

Yeah. So I don't really know how to. How to get into this.

I don't either.

I do want to be. I want to be sensitive to Max's emotional state right now. It was a tough game. The Phillies fought their dicks off tonight. They didn't really score that many runs.

Yeah, The.

The arms fought. The arms fought. For sure.

The arms fought. The defense fought.

No, what.

What are you talking about? Okay, I'm trying.

I'm trying.

I'm trying.

What?

Oh, okay.

Obviously, until the end. Yeah.

But.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Up until that point. Right.

That was the worst way to lose a game.

Yeah.

Yes. It's the worst way. It's the worst possible way to lose. It's Bill. It's Bill Buckner.

He.

It's the worst. It's the worst loss in playoff history since Bill Buckner.

He should have gone to first.

You think?

I do think so, yes.

J.T. realmuto, he thought, too.

Yeah.

He was. The screenshot of him pointing, like, throw to the first base.

That.

That is a play that you would be shocked to see on a Little League field.

Yeah.

And I feel bad for the guy. Like, I swear to God, I feel. I truly feel bad for him. He. He did his job as a pitcher and Then I've never seen a more panicked situation in my life. Like he. He didn't know what. He didn't know what to do. And I can't imagine how he's feeling right now. The entire city of Philadelphia, it's. It's weird. Half of the city of Philadelphia wants him dead, and then half of the city of Philadelphia, it's knows that it's so bad that they feel bad for him because it's.

Yeah, it's that bad.

It's that bad.

They know that the other half that bad is. Is so mad.

Right.

Like I. Yeah. No, I can't imagine what. That I know how bad I feel right now. I cannot imagine how bad Orion Kirk is right now.

How. How bad do you feel right now?

I mean, it's the. It's the worst sports day of my entire. It's the worst sports day of my life.

Is it because of the Flyers too?

I don't give a fuck about the Flyers.

It was a very bad Hank to lose series.

I was at the Cubs game. I was at the bar before I watched the Phillies walk in the tying run. So it's 1:1. And then I went into the game which was he. It was a strike.

That was a strike. That was a strike. And the factory umpire went up after the game and apologized for not calling to strike. Yeah. Such.

I didn't have sound on. So I was watching from bar and from. From my vantage point, I was like, that looks like a strike.

But I didn't.

Wasn't playing too close attention went to the game. And then in the game I was like, oh, old school. They got the scoreboard. Yeah, I'll just keep track of the scoreboard. And then, you know, it went from one one to one. And I'm like. And then seeing.

Seeing how.

How they can't happen.

You can't. You can't convey how it happened.

No.

And our. You know, it's like usually it was so bad that our group text was just completely silent. There was no.

That was something that you would see on a. Like us playing barstool after dark.

Yeah. Memes would make that error in 16 inch softball.

I don't. I don't even know if he would.

Tom Lay.

He was.

I think he would at least throw to first. I think he would at least throw to first.

He was trying to get the lead.

Runner with two outs.

Yeah. It made no sense. And. And Max was fighting his dick off on the street. Max pulled out all the stops. So Max went overalls tonight. And then he Waited for what? The seventh inning after they tied it up, the pigtails came out.

And the pigtails. How did the pigtails do?

They pigtails retired forever.

Forever.

Forever.

Why forever?

You look so cute.

Forever. Never again.

Never.

Never again.

Ever.

Ever.

That's a long.

Say one more time.

That's a long time. Max, you're not even looking at us.

I know. I can't look at. I, I, I will. I. I am looking straight down this entire podcast. I will not be making eye contact.

Single one. I was. I was supporting the Phillies. I was rooting for the Phillies tonight. I wanted to see Max keep fighting.

I wanted the Phillies to win so Max didn't have to go to a wedding this weekend.

I'm going to get three hours of sleep tonight.

I wanted the Phillies to win, and then when they lost. I do want to apologize for the look that I gave you after they lost, but in fairness to me.

Pull up the look.

No, the look. The look. The look is fair. I'm not, you know, I was rooting for. I'm not upset with the look. The look was fair. The look was fair.

I mean, it's a.

It was a truly, truly shocking, shocking way to get eliminated from the. From postseason.

I had to take a peek.

Shocking way.

I had to see what Max. What he looked like in that moment. Because sometimes when Max gets such.

Or he gets my job to also.

Do this, he gets like, he Pull it up. He can torch his body and, like, goes crisscross applesauce and hands over the. I want to see what he looked like. And I, I couldn't help but crack a smile in that moment, but I did.

No, that. I'm not. I'm not. That was. That's fair.

That was fair. And then Max just kind of, you know, he went through it for a while. Fortunately, in the office, we've got a lot of really, like, easy stuff to smash against other stuff that doesn't cause any permanent damage. So Max took out his anger on some Wiffle ball bats, and that's fine.

I also punched the. Out of one of those lockers, and I'm for sure it's not.

It's.

It'll be. It's just a bruise.

It'll.

It'll be a bruise.

Yeah, it'll. It'll be a bruise. It'll be okay. There's a look.

Oh, no, I just had.

I had to see because he was, like, covering his ears and he has legs crossed up and he had the pigtails and the overalls, but yeah, Max. Max fought his dick off tonight and.

Then fought so hard in every game.

And then the Eagles game started.

Well, I have a question about. So that happens, Max. What happens right after. In. In. In the cave. In your head and in the world. What. What went through?

Nothing. It is just blank nothingness. I walked into tears. The closet.

Okay.

I walk the.

That's where you film the video.

This?

No, I walked into the snack pantry.

Okay. Just out of, like, out of. That's just muscle memory.

Like.

No, just like. That was the darkest place that I could find. I just wanted to be in a dark. And like a super dark room.

Did you.

Shut up. Whatever. You're. You're a fucking prick.

Who You. Oh, it was a joke. Muscle memory. That was a funny joke.

And then I walked into the mostly sports room because that was dark.

How long closet for?

I don't know.

You can tell him he's a prick too.

Well, no, I just want to know when he came out of the closet.

Fair is fairy. That's a similar joke.

I mean, I'm.

I just.

I'm just not gonna continue to answer the question.

Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Okay, so then you walked in the mostly sports.

I just wanted to be in a dark room. And then I was like, maybe someone from mostly sports is gonna walk in here. I don't want them. I don't want them to see me. And then I was gonna come in here. Of course Memes was in here, so that was the last place I was gonna go.

Mm.

So then I went into the. The Wake Up Mincey studio. I thought I would be safe in the Wake Up Mincey studio. And I just laid down there for 40 minutes probably. No, felt like 40 minutes. It was probably like 15.

Okay.

And I. I don't. I didn't even have my phone. I just. I just. Actually, no, I did get my. I don't fucking know. I don't fucking know. I obviously got my phone because I took that video.

Did you. Did you, like, watch replays?

No, I watched nothing.

Read recaps.

I watched nothing recaps. I'm not going to. I might. I might not open my cell phone for the rest of this weekend.

That'd be fair.

Yeah.

What about talk about the Eagles? Well, I have a question because I got a text from PFT during. During all this, and he just texted me, said, max is. I think Max is turning into the Joker.

Yeah.

What was that?

Well, so after this, the period of darkness that. That he spent, he came out and watched the Eagles game, and things started to go Very, very poorly for the Eagles in the football game. And Max was sitting in the back row and he just started laughing and he just started going, this is hilarious. This is hilarious. But he was like getting angrier as he kept saying it. Like there was a fumble. I think it Saquon fumbled.

The, the, the, the hilarious was when it was just an easy kick return and Tank Bigsby just dropped it out of bounds at the two yard line.

Yeah. And you, you were just like, everything, everything bad is happening all at once. And his reaction was just like he started laughing and going, hilarious. This is hilarious. But he was getting angrier and angrier. And then I think there might have been some smashing after that. Kind of got some of the rage out of your system a little bit.

You smashed a couple bats.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I was very quiet and, you know, trying to bottle my emotions. I was really trying to bottle my emotions so I didn't have another incident and I.

That was Hank Chuckle.

Yeah, I know.

He's full on laughing.

Yeah.

No.

And then once there, there was. Jalen Hurts threw a pick in the red zone. They Giants scored another touchdown to make a fucking 34 to 17. Then there's a fumble on a kick return. Jalen Hurts starts driving again and AJ Dillon just fucking fumbles again. And it was like just a truly hilarious sequence of events for Philadelphia sports losing 34 to 17 to Jackson dart with nobody at receiver. Zero people at receiver. And he could just move the ball at will. And Jalen Hurts looks like the worst fucking quarterback in the NFL.

Oh, don't say that.

I'll quickly say hand up. I. I did kind of roast the Giants on this podcast on, on Monday. I said they're bad teams.

Yeah, they might be good.

They might.

No.

The Eagles just fucking suck. The Eagles fucking suck.

Second half was. Was tough for the Eagles.

They sucked. They're actually bad. All of Philadelphia sports died today. There is no team to be excited about in all of Philadelphia. That's a fact that happened tonight. It went from a whole lot of promise coming into this day and all dead. Every single 1.

Dead.

0. I'm. I am George. I am fucking memes you.

Oh, no, don't say that. That's so mean. Don't put that mean to yourself.

Don't put that on a quote card, whatever you do.

Yeah, don't. I am fucking memes. Was there a common there?

I don't give a. Do whatever you want to do.

Okay, so opening his phone. What?

He's not opening his phone.

Yeah. He's not opening his phone.

What?

Cam Scatter Boo.

He was. So I was going to say it was a coming out party for Cam Scatteroo. It was actually. This was rush week for Cam Scaboo and Jackson Dart.

Yeah.

The. The bromance that they've got going on right now is the. It's honestly puzzling to me because I don't think I've ever experienced this in my entire life, but the New York Giants are fun as fuck.

Yeah.

It's weird, isn't it? Like, with those uniforms and everything, you know about the Giants, you expect them to occasionally pop up and be a good football team, but in a very boring way.

Yeah.

And this is a team that, like, I, I want to watch more Giants football games. I can't wait to watch more New York Giants. And I've never thought that in my entire life.

Cam Scatter Boo is so much fun.

He's so much fun. So he was just running through people's faces. He was just flexing on dudes, just running, running to and through people. Not running. He goes out of his way to, like, turn back and run out of safety. And the, the duo that they have with Cam Scaboo and Jackson Dart, it's pure chaos when you watch them play, but it's so fun. And whatever Cam Scatter's got is contagious. And Jackson Dart catches it over the course of a game and he starts to run like Cam Scatterboo. But he does it in a much more hilarious, skinny way. Like, there's this one play that Jackson Dart had where he scrambled and he's very mobile. He's quick.

Yeah.

And he got to the outside and he was running up the sidelines and he was like, you know what? Fuck that. I'm not going to go out of bounds. I'm going to just jump head first into a safety. And have you ever seen the. The Simpsons meme of Ralph Wiggum diving through the plate glass window head first? That's what Jackson Dart did. Like, to a defense, like, targeted him with his helmet, jumped at him. He. Oh, yeah, that's a clip right there. It was pretty great. And at one point, Dark got taken out of the game because he was. He had a concussion.

Yeah. And I saw Russell Wilson came in and then Dable just started yelling at the, the, the medical examiner being like, get the. Get Jackson Dart back out here.

Yeah. So Jackson Dart goes into the tent and then Russell Wilson goes on the field. He was so ready to be on that field. He was, He Was on the field before Dart was off it.

Yeah.

And he threw one pass to Jalen Hyatt, and he short armed it by, I'm gonna guess, 15 yards. It was, like, the worst pass I've ever seen in the NFL. And right after it hit the ground, you see day ball on the sidelines, turn around, go up to the doctor and start screaming at the doctor like, what the are you doing? Get this guy back in the game. I can't handle this. And so then. Then Dart is still in the blue tent. And then Scatter Boo says that I'm gonna go over and see what's up with it. And so it's Scatter Boo runs into the tent to check on Dart, and then you see, like, four other people go in there. And the doctor comes out. He's like, I don't know. I don't know what's going on there. Jackson Dart just keeps saying, it's some hoes in this tent. I don't know what.

I don't know what.

What that means, but it doesn't sound good. And eventually, Cam, Scatter Boo and Dart get out of the tent together. I think Scatter Boo cleared Jackson Dart. He said he. He's not concussed, Dude. Bro. Straight. Let's get him back in the game. And then obviously, D on the sidelines, like, yep, put him back in.

Get him back in asap.

I can't stand another second of Russ Wilson being out there. Yeah, and there was one very funny clip, too, where they. They cut up to the owner's booth, and Mr. Mara was staring down at the field at, like, the most fun part of the game for the Giants. It's like every time Scatter got the ball, he was running people over. He was doing backflips in the end zone, and Mara's looking down, peering like an old dean, like, wondering what he's let his football team become.

Yeah.

He's like, what these guys are.

These boys are being reckless.

Yeah. These youngsters are a bit flashy for my liking. I. I thought I implemented no taunting policies to curb this sort of behavior. Oh, I'll have a word with them afterwards. But, yeah, it's. It was so fun to watch. And the Giants, they were. They were the better team by far. Their defense was great in the second half. I don't know what the play calling is for the Philadelphia Eagles. That's definitely a big part.

Yeah. So Jalen hurts. Max. You said Jalen hurts. Sucks.

You want me to say it again?

No. Well, I'm asking.

He he, he, he is a bad quarterback right now.

All right, so you put in the. Right now there. That's good. So he can figure it out.

We'll see. This team sucks.

Is it, Is it. Remember we had the conversation the other day about.

Yeah, sure, you're right.

No, no, no, I'm not saying that. But Kevin Patullo, it feels like. It's like Kellen Moore last year was a very good play caller.

And then.

Is it the play calling? Is it?

Yep. It doesn't help. Yes. Jalen Hurts just missed a wide open. Fucking AJ Brown on this pick. That should have been a pick six first. Yeah, whatever.

Where's A.J.

Brown?

Let me see him. Oh, man, the signs.

I think that was. I think that interception might have been to Dotson.

It.

It was, yeah.

Oh, but you're saying A.J. brown was wide open. Yes, he was.

That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, he was wide open on the play. If he had gone to him. The best offensive series that the Eagles had by far tonight was from the four yard line. They ran four tush pushes in a row.

Yeah, I saw a lot of people, like, I saw a bunch of tweets being like, ban the tush push.

It's.

This is bullshit. This isn't football.

I think that radicalized a lot of people.

Yeah.

That moment that like the casual. I don't love the tush push, but it's unfair to ban it. Those people saw the four in a row and radicalized and now they're going to be like, fuck this play. Get out of the. Because there were false starts on. I think almost all of them too. Yeah, but it was, it was kind of fun to watch. Just. We're going to run the same thing over and over again and the Giants can't stop us. But in the second half, yeah, the Eagles offense, they stunk. They were, they were very, very bad.

And the defense sucked, too.

It. It's. Well, you guys were missing Jaylen Carter and Quinon Mitchell.

No, doesn't matter. They still sucked.

You guys are at the top of the NFC East.

You're.

You're the super bowl champions.

You're the returning super bowl champions or the top NFC East. If, if you could have said, you know, going into this year, like after, after six games, you're going to be at the top NFC east and losing.

To the Giants, you know, Jackson Dart.

Giants might be good.

The Giants fucking suck.

They're at the top of the NFC east for now.

Hank, you get a little bit of break now. Mini buy.

I I want a permanent buy. I want a permanent buy. I want to stop watching sports.

You want a permanent buy.

This is what everyone keeps saying. You just want a Super Bowl. You just want a Super Bowl. The pain of losing is 50 billion times worse than the joy of winning.

It's.

It's not even close. So, like, I don't give a fuck that we just won a Super bowl, but right now, doing pain of losing.

The Phillies.

Yeah, you're mixing your Phillies, but this.

But the Eagles are dead. The Eagles suck. You guys didn't watch this game tonight. They fucking suck.

They were.

I understand, but you are like, this is Phillies. If the Phillies had been eliminated on Wednesday and this game happened on Thursday, I think you would obviously be in the same mental state of like, I want a permanent buy from all the sports. But you'd be able to separate them a little bit more. It was bang bang.

Yeah.

I don't think you guys understand how fucking bad they were tonight.

No, they looked.

Any team in the NFL would have. Would have fucking smoked.

I think if you guys lost to the Dodgers, like, 4 to 1 and just didn't like. I think it's the way you lost.

It's. It's an unbelievable way to get eliminated from the postseason. It's an unbelievable way.

You got double bang tonight. Yeah, this is a double bang.

Don't forget about the Flyers.

And the Flyers, too.

Triple bang. Don't care.

Did the Union win tonight?

I don't know.

Now, the Union won some cup the other day. I don't. I. I honestly don't know what cup they won, but they won something. And everyone was like, at least we have the Union.

What, the Union or mls.

Some shield, right?

Well, you got a shield, Max. That's pretty cool.

The Union.

Damn, that's scab. You're scab.

No, it's. That's some confederacy right there.

Oh.

But, yeah, Max, you were diagnosed tonight with a disease that I didn't know existed. We hadn't. We had a name for it, which is early onset Fleming.

Fleming. Yeah.

But if Frank had the night that I had tonight, he would legitimately be dead. Like, that is not. That is not hyperbole. He would be dead. He has never had that.

That night, Frank said, max has flamingia.

Which I never heard before.

Frank does that when the Mets lose in July.

And then Mikey Betts said, 100% diagnosis. And Frank said, look at the videos.

So Frank is basically watching Max videos, being like, man, this guy needs to chill out. Yeah.

There's some other stuff that Came out about the Eagles. Afterwards. Some more drama.

Whether they just fucking suck.

Yeah, yeah, that was part of it.

Or Diane Rossini.

That was a pretty big part of it.

She's the fucking worst.

You are. Memes.

This is Mike Garofalo. After the game, he said A.J. brown was asked about the meeting with Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley this week. Repeatedly says he didn't recall any meeting. When told Hertz and Barkley confirmed it. He says, you'd have to talk to them. Oh, because the. The meeting that allegedly happened was Jalen Hurts and Saquon talking with AJ about, like, let's all get on the same page. Let's. Let's gel as a team. Let's work together, get over our differences, and we can all eat. And, yeah, AJ Was just like, I don't. I don't recall that meeting.

Saquon also all of a sudden sucks. Now that no one's talking about that.

Let'S talk about it.

He's horrible. He's been horrible all year.

What is that?

But he hurled. That guy.

The whole team sucks. Everyone sucks.

Wrong. Dallas Goddard looked good tonight.

Okay.

He.

He.

He's on. He's on the last year of his contract. He's fucking gone.

Howie. Dude.

Done. Everything's done. Blow it up. Blow up. Start every single team from ground zero. Every single one of them.

Sirianni's earned the benefit of the doubt. He's a good coach.

Also. The union just won a shield.

I'm done with the union.

Can't blow up. The union did.

The union will stand strong.

He got a fucking shield.

Must stand strong.

Won the shield, Max.

There were also some articles that came out today about Cam Scatter, Boo, and this guy. He is exactly who you think he is.

I saw some of these quotes. So good.

His buddies on the team were talking about, like, what it's like getting to meet him. One guy said the first time I met him, we didn't. We said like three words, and he just headbutted me. And then we just became friends after that. One of the tight ends on the team was talking about their first time at a special teams meeting. Coach asked, what's our job? Our job is to play with speed, get off the ball. And this animal just goes. Physicality. He starts screaming. Physicality. Barely. Just yells all the time. Yeah, he's. He's exactly what this league needs right now. Yeah.

Gutter Olszefski said. He's genuinely an idiot. Yeah, he's. He's a crayon eater. Yeah. The best. It also is very funny because I don't know how, like, if you watch any college football last year, you're like, this guy's the man.

Yeah.

How did he fall that far in the drag? He's the man.

I. I just didn't think that the NFL didn't think that Cam Scatter Boo could run over people in the league like he did in college. And it turns out he can and he will. I think he could run over just about anybody. It was. Yeah, it was. It was a lot of fun. And watching Dable just, like, bask in the fact that his job might be saved.

Yeah.

Is so funny, too, because.

By some meatheads.

Yeah. By some meatheads.

And now even did it for him.

And he's now, like, trying to identify with the meathead heads. It's almost like Jackson dart is his Jordan.

Yeah.

Because after the game, he. He was talking to the media and he hit him with a 6, 7 and started, like, moving. He's, like, trying to speak Zoomer.

Oh, my.

He's like, yeah. Jackson's gonna love this. Hey, Jackson, look at this clip. I said six, seven.

It's so fucking good. It's so good. Max, can we do anything to cheer.

You up and the show.

Oh, come on. Just.

Let's just.

Let's.

This is a good show. Let's. Let's go home. Let me go edit this. And let's.

Let's.

Let's be done.

Big cat rip, Sister Gene, by the.

Way, what are you guys doing this weekend?

I'm going to Baton Rouge. Gonna Punk is gonna play at Fred's on Friday night. Gonna be so much fun.

I got a game five on Saturday. All my focus is on that.

I'm chilling. I got a nice. I don't have much planned. Can just relax.

You gonna watch baseball?

Watching baseball?

Why'd you. Why'd you ask?

Just, you know, just trying to end. Wrap up the show for Max.

Ask anyone else.

Zach.

Probably battled six.

Okay. Nice.

Nice memes. What are you up to about the Beta? Beta.

I'm happy to go to the wedding. All this.

Where is it?

It's in Connecticut. I'm happy to go.

What time's your.

I don't want to see any of you for 48 hours or any single person close to Chicago.

That's fair.

What. What time's your flight?

I have done nothing to prepare for this trip because I wasn't going to go if we already talked about that Phillies. I have to do so much memes.

What are you up To Big Dog.

I'm going to watch college football. Do you want me to edit the show?

No, I will edit the show. I will do my job.

No, you can have me.

I will do. I will do. I will edit the show. I will edit the show.

Meme. Sorry your hater Parlay didn't win.

It's okay.

I'm sure.

I'm sure he had a backup one that was just Philly.

That's a tough one.

Did you have a backup one that was just Philly?

No, I cashed out.

Oh, nice.

Yeah, actually. I actually won one.

Money.

Yeah.

Even you couldn't go through with it. No.

That was devastating.

I got. I have some stats about. About the Eagles. Max, you might want to take your headphones off. I'm not saying this to rub it in.

Oh, keep on the headphones. Come on. We'll finish right now.

The Eagles, through six weeks, are now minus one in point differential. They've been outgained every single game this year. They are the second super bowl champion to be outgained in yardage in each of their first five games to start the next season.

Even Zach went like on that one.

Yeah, it's. Things are not. Not outstanding right now in Philadelphia. And when Max says that they stink, I. I would still say that. The Eagles have the bones of a very good football team, and they can be very good. All they need is for their guys to believe in them.

Nfc.

They need Philly.

Nfc. Beast is back.

The beast is back full.

I mean, Cowboys are frisky. Giants are good. Eagles are super bowl champs.

Commanders.

Commanders are good. Like nfc, Beast.

Nfc, Beast. Yeah.

That's got to feel good. Max. Max.

He doesn't have the headphones on.

Maybe. You have any final questions for Max? I don't. Yeah. It's tense.

It's tense in here. It's good that. That Hank is facing away from Max right now. Yeah, I know. Max hasn't looked up a single time. And I want. I also want to give credit to Max. Max, he. He. He realized that he was in a very volatile state tonight, so he did things like removed himself from situations where he would be around others or cameras. He is not making eye contact with us because he knows that that's a trigger.

We need, like, a weighted blanket.

Yeah. He needs a Thunder shirt.

Yeah. How bad was it?

I mean, he. Max was overall pretty good. He had a few outbursts where he got overalls.

It was.

Overalls pretty good. Yeah.

Are the overalls retired?

Overalls won a Super Bowl.

Yeah.

So the overalls Are not retired. The pigtails. A billion, billion percent retired.

Max, can we just finish with this? You tonight sucked. You got a great life. You just won a Super Bowl. You got a great life. You got a ton of friends. Everyone loves you. I genuinely love you. I say that to you all the time. I love you. You're great at your job. You got a great life. Yep.

Thank you.

I don't know. I'm just trying to.

We care about you, Max.

Thank you. Thank you, guys. It's okay.

And you.

I will be okay.

When you had your headphones.

You will.

When you had your headphones off, I was saying that you did a good job regulating.

You work your ass off and it's. Listen, it sucks having to watch your teams lose on live stream.

Yeah.

It's not fun. That's not a fun experience. And you. You. You are willing and able to do it. So just we gotta like, like put in maybe the video of you doing drinking out of your.

Your boot.

That was. That was peak, Max.

Yeah. On top of the moon. And when you say, like, the. The misery of the painful losses aren't worth the joy of. Of the ultimate championships. And that's not true. Yeah, that's not true.

You had so much fun in New Orleans. I don't.

I don't know. I don't know.

This.

Today was bad.

You got to hang out with Big Dom.

Today was bad.

Think about. Think about how good 2018 Villanova was.

I just can't. I just can't. I can't believe he threw it home. Why did he throw it home?

Yeah, why?

It was. It was right there.

It was coming up next thing.

Not. Not the top of the. Or. I mean, the top of the order sucks, so it wouldn't. Doesn't even matter who they were gonna lose, that they were gonna lose that game anyway.

It's just the way.

The way that you lost is, like so embarrassing.

Like, if you lose that game with like, Shohei just like pisses on one, it's like, what are you gonna do?

Shohei was one for.

Yeah, he was bad.

22 with, like 12 k's.

He looked lost. This is. I just don't know how you go home. Oh, he knew it.

That's a. That's a tough shot, him hanging his head on the mound.

Yeah, it's just like he. He had him easily at first, jt.

Just pointing it first as he's throwing.

It at his face and then pajas or whatever. He didn't touch home when he first ran home. He had to Turn around and go back.

He did.

He did.

Go get it. Yeah, he. No, he did eventually, but, like, JT ran over.

He's the catcher. Yeah. He's just pointing. Yeah. Like, dude, what are you fucking doing?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, man.

Just throw it to first base. Like, if he overthrew first base, that's. That would be one.

He made the right play. He just didn't execute. He made the wrong play, and he didn't execute the wrong play as well.

Oh, you got Tanner McKee.

Oh, the pitching just don't say Tanner McKee.

You got Tanner McKee.

Stop it.

Does that make you happy?

No. Oh, that's an.

That's an.

That's an asshole thing to say.

You got.

You got Marcus Mariota.

He's a great backup. I love him.

Jalen hurts will figure it out, Max. You know that's a fact. Like, the Eagles are bad right now. He. They will be. They will bounce back. They're too good of a team to.

Not, I don't know, two years ago they didn't bounce back.

Okay, this.

This could just be.

But they're better than they were two years ago.

You don't know that.

Well, I'm saying, talent wise, you don't know that. I'm pretty sure they are. They just won a Super bowl, and the roster is pretty similar.

So the coaching. Coaching sucks. Kevin Petullo is just not. I mean, it's the same thing. Same thing. We just don't have an offensive coordinator who can. Who can call plays. And our quarterback is just not playing a good quarterback right now. He's just not.

What percentage of Philadelphia sports fans do you think are going to listen to sports podcasts tomorrow?

None.

Zero.

Right.

If any of them do, they're sick. They're. They're disgusting.

Give it to him.

I'm talking to you people. Right? If any Phillies fan are listening to me right now, I'm telling you, you're sick.

You're perverted, you're demented. You got something wrong with you, Flamingia. Yeah. All right, let's do.

In preview is brought to you by Uber Eats this episode is brought to you by UberEats, reminding fans that if football coincidentally makes you hungry, you can get game day deals on wings, burgers, beers, chips and more all season long. All on UberEats. I'll say this. Last week when we were Talking about our UberEats, someone in this room said they were going to make us nachos. And someone in this room did not.

I had a tough Sunday.

Okay, well, are we getting nachos? Are we getting the Uber Eats nachos? Where you're going to get UberEats. Not only can you get delivery from all the restaurants, but you can also get groceries delivered. That's the best part about Uber Eats. Are we delivering the groceries for the nachos and we're getting max nachos?

If the Phillies make the game five, that's that's guaranteed.

Okay That's a guarantee. That's.

No, he said guarantee. He said it's a guarantee if the.

Game five would be Saturday.

Correct. But that means that you'd be in a bad mood. I wouldn't have to try.

Yeah.

There's a nacho contingency.

All right.

You love being able to get all your personal favorite game day foods delivered on Uber eats so that you never miss a play. When football makes you hungry, get game day deals all season long only on Ubereats. All right, boys, week six. I don't want to say it.

Don't say it. No, I thought about this this morning. I was like, it's about that time of year where big.

You don't know what I'm going to say.

Where Big Cat says it for the first time. And then I get mad at Big Ca.

I'm going to, I'm going to say it for the, for the listeners. I have to say it. I hate that we have a London game the fucking weekend that we change the clocks. It's the. It is the worst. I'm sorry, you didn't want me to say it. I agree. Changing our clocks on Saturday and then having to get up early for the 8:30 game. It sucks. You not agree?

No. You actually have to wake up at like, it's pretty much midnight because you watch Roger Goodell climb up Big Ben and he pulls the little hand all the way around. Everybody claps and they give it up for him. And then you get depressed.

Yeah. So I'm sorry, but I had to say it because I don't want the Bills to like, miss, you know, the marathon or miss, you know, some meeting that they have because they forgot to change their clocks. Okay. You ready, Hank?

Hell yeah.

I can't wait to hear about the hungry dog this week.

Hell yeah.

The whole, whole, whole crew should ride.

Yeah.

Let's start though, with the London game. Oh, by the way, here's a little, little fun note. Well, so we have Vikings and Texans on by. Did you know that through the first five weeks, the NFC is 18 and nine against the spread in their 27.

Games versus the AFC? I did not know that. NFC battle for some conference pride.

Yes. So NFC is it right now? All right?

LeBron or not, Lamar Jackson isn't holding up his end of the bargain. Yes, that's the problem.

That's fair. Broncos. The jets. Jets plus seven and a half over. Under is 43 and a half. Here's another one that stunned me because we, I think on this show have. It might be the Jake Marsh effect the Lunder. Did you know that in international games have been 52 of them? 26 and 26 over.

Under.

I didn't know that exactly.

Even so, this is the tiebreak because.

We remember the stinky ones, the ones where the grass is wet, it looks like it's been grown out for soccer and. And no points are scored. There's interceptions galore. Yeah, we remember those ones. This one is going to be interesting because the last time the jets went over there, they fired their coach because Woody Johnson, he's got a lot of friends over in England. If he gets embarrassed around his friends, he will take drastic measures. I don't think that Aaron Glenn's in danger being fired. I don't think that he is. I know that memes goes back and forth. I would be. I would be shocked if he was fired.

Memes.

I'd be shocked after this week if he was fired.

Yeah, but you want him fired.

No, only if he goes, oh, and 17. I just don't think you could bring someone back if they can't figure out how to win one football game.

I think that Aaron Glenn at least knows that they're 05 because he said, we know exactly where we're at. We're not hiding from the fact. Yes, we're 05. We understand that. We understand that we have a lot of work to do. We're not running from that all. So he's.

He.

The news has gotten to him that.

He'S only five memes. I have an insult stat. I. I don't know if you want to hear. It's not directed to you, but I think it's interesting to bring up on the show. You can opt out of the stat if you want.

Would you like to opt out?

No. Let's hear it.

Okay. The stat is looking back at Robert Salah's last 17 games as coach for the Jets. They had the best defense in the NFL in that 17 game span.

Okay.

And since that time period, they have the worst defense in the NFL. Overall, last place, 32nd.

How was the defense the season you got fired?

I'm talking about the games.

I know, but before. No, no, no, no, no. The games he was coaching.

Yeah.

The defense of the last season leading.

Up to him getting not good. Not good is what you're going at.

The last few games.

But overall, Overall, I know what you're saying. His brother tweeted that out.

Okay.

Oh, his brother. Respect. Very funny. That's big time respect.

Yeah.

I am my brother's keeper.

How bad were the last few games.

They couldn't stop the run, and now it's just. It's essentially piled up to this point where you still have the same guys from that defense who now still can't play defense.

Got it.

Is the quote, I am my brother's keeper.

I'm not my brother's keeper.

I'm not my brother's keeper.

Yeah.

Zach, can I see your tattoo real quick?

I believe the quote is. I'm double layered. It is my brother's keeper as a quote.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Cassie's had two.

Yeah.

What does it say?

It just.

It's my. Yeah.

What does yours say?

Mine says my brother's keeper.

Ah. Yep. So you are.

Oh, so that might be the quote.

Yeah. There we go. Shout out to Nick.

Is that like Cain and Abel?

Is it biblical?

I believe there is, like, a loose biblical tie.

You always forget about Seth.

They do.

It's fucking bullshit. It's just right there. This is a big, like, I think the Broncos are going to win. This is a big test for the Broncos and the fact that they went. Had a. I would say the defining win in the Sean Payton Bo Nix era against Eagles on Sunday. They actually did travel right from Philadelphia, which I like.

I would call it signature win.

Signature win. How do they respond to the signature wind? You know, you gotta. You gotta beat the jets and you gotta beat them pretty strongly here. Yeah, the jets are bad.

Did you see how Sean Payton's approaching this week? This is the very definition of a business trip, okay? When. When coaches are always like, business trip. It's a business trip. This is a business trip. They're doing the exact same thing that they do when they're in Denver on the same days. No sightseeing allowed.

Okay.

Because Sean Payton, they. They asked him about, like, other times he's gone on the trip. He said, one time, Jeremy Shockey tried to get everybody's passport and take the team to Amsterdam on an off day.

Oh.

So we put the kibosh on that. That I. They. They should have been allowed to go to Amsterdam.

Yeah, they should.

Jeremy Shockey asks you, hey, can we go to Amsterdam? You say, yes, absolutely. You want to see how that one plays out? But they're doing, like, the exact same schedule over there. They went over early, but so did the Jets.

Jets went on Monday.

Jets went on Monday. The Broncos went early in the week, too. I do think that the Broncos should handle business over there. Yeah.

But that's a lot of points.

The Jets. You just can't get blown out in front of Woody Johnson's friends?

No. I have a way to attack this game. You ready for this? If the jets are losing by, let's say, two scores, Justin Fields this season stats by quarter. First quarter, 114 yards, one touchdown. Second quarter, 173 yards, zero touchdowns. Third quarter, 169 yards, zero touchdowns. Fourth quarter, 300 yards, three touchdowns.

He's a closer.

I think that if the jets are getting blown out, we need to bet live. Bet overs for Justin Fields going into the fourth quarter.

Okay.

Anyone like that strategy?

I'm into that. I. I would. I would be fine. With the jets starting to rod and then putting Justin Fields in just in the fourth quarter. That's what I'm hearing right now.

Yeah.

Closer. No. Yeah, I'm down for that 100%. We'll.

We'll monitor that. All right, next game, Cardinals at Colts. Cardinals are plus seven, Kyler Murray. So the over under is 46 and a half. Kyler Murray actually is a pretty good against the spread quarterback as a dog on the road. So he's 33. Actually, this just as a dog. He's 33 and 18 against the spread as a dog in all six of his NFL seasons. Actually the best record as a dog in the last six years.

So he should be allowed to wear the Mike Fix jersey.

He should be allowed to wear Mike Vick jersey. I'm wondering. So the culture awesome. The culture great. I'm wondering where the head of the Arizona Cardinals is, because we had Jonathan Gannon getting fined pushing a player.

Yeah. The team find him.

The team find him. $100,000. It was the first time I think a coach has been fined since Bruce Arians a few years ago. Got fined or like, hitting someone in the head or something.

Did they not find Andy Reid for bumping his stomach up on Travis Kelsey this year?

Not.

They did not protect and Travis Kelsey.

Yeah. Kyler Murray has a foot injury. Zach, what is call of duty?

BO7 beta, called Black Ops 7 is the newest Call of Duty title from Treyarch. The beta is currently out, which is like a preview of what the full title will be.

Can you play the beta?

You can?

Yes, sir.

It's a limited.

Tyler Murray could be playing the beta.

Yeah, he is playing the beta.

He's probably on the game.

He might on and off the field. Yeah, he. The foot injury actually does concern me a little bit because it's a toe. And I've learned a lot about turf toe this year.

Not good.

And turf toe is not good. Even if it's not really that extreme of a case. It's probably not easy to push off that foot. I, yeah, I'm going to have a hard time trusting Kyler as a dog in this one.

Yeah. I mean, well, Jacoby Brissette still there, still around.

Alive.

He is still alive. Marvin Harrison said he has full trust in Jacoby. So that has to make you feel good. That's really what else he would say. That would be crazy. If he came out, he's like, yeah, you know what? We're our backup quarterback. It's gonna suck.

We're fucked.

I.

So when we talked about the D markado dropping the ball on the 1 inch line last week, I went back and I read some interviews with. With Gannon.

Yeah.

And he, he said that he actually did show the entire team the clip of A.D. mitchell the week before, being like, do not do this. So what you're doing right here, seeing what. You see what he did right here. Don't do that. No, I actually, that makes me think that Gannon was more responsible for it. The fact that he put it in all their heads. Oh. Like. Because think about it. Nobody dropped the ball at the one yard line until desean Jackson did it.

Yep.

And then everybody saw and they're like, whoa, we can do that.

Yeah.

Like the tiny little thought, the intrusive thought crept in the back of your head. Nobody had ever thought before, like, oh, maybe what if I just don't carry the ball into the end zone? Yeah. But now that you see it, if it's in front of you, you should just not talk about it at all around your team. Yeah.

Did you see Jason Whitlock went there?

I did not.

Jason Whitlock just. I, you know, everyone's like, hey, that was a really dumb play. He decided to go a little zag. He's like, we've never seen a white guy dropped the ball in the end zone. That's okay.

Yeah.

Thank you, Jason Whitlock.

That's now.

Appreciate you entering the discourse now. This is also, you know, Jason Whitlock, obviously we talked about a couple weeks ago. He says Alabama too gay to be.

He was, he was right about that one. He was spot on about that one. If I were to argue that. Which I'm not. Because far be it for me to argue against Jason Whitlock when it comes to knowing ball, but would you say that the vast majority of touchdown scorers.

Yeah.

In the NFL sample size are.

Yeah.

Black players.

Yeah.

And then white players don't.

It was just.

We do we do score sometimes, but, I mean, it's tough to drop the ball on the one inch line when you're getting the ball on the one inch line as a fullback.

Right. It was just such a funny. Like everyone is. Everyone is in universal agreement. That's a really stupid thing to say. And Jason Whitlock's like, raises hands like, hey, let me just make this toxic.

Is it a race thing?

Yeah.

Is it a race thing? It's a very weird thing. It is, but I just wouldn't say anything about it. If I was a coach, I'd be like, I'm just going to trust the guys to not do the stupidest thing of all time.

Now also in defense, I'm not defending dropping the ball at the goal line, but if you could time it right, it would look sweet.

If you. If you actually.

Yeah, if you. If you can nail it where you drop it so close that the touchdown counts and then they have to review it and you're like, dude, I obviously cross the goal line. That's actually kind of cool. Guys should start doing that.

Then you get like an extra five minutes of everybody watching your replay of scoring an awesome touchdown in super slow motion.

Yes.

And that goes on the highlight reel.

Coach, I'm fine.

They break out the high def cameras that you don't normally see for the replays and they slow it, they stop it. It's a lot of camera time for you. Good for your brand.

Exactly.

If you're one of these guys.

Exactly. By the way, Daniel Jones never in his career with the Giants never put up 40 points. He's done it two times so far this season.

Yeah. The Colts.

Awesome.

The Colts are great. Daniel Jones is great. The Colts are leading the league in yards per play and points per game. They've got six and a half yards per play, 30.8 points per game. They're just good. They're just good. I think I've reached the part of the season where I'm not. Even if they have a bad loss, I'm not willing to say they're turning back into a pumpkin.

They've done enough.

They're off pumpkin.

Watch.

I do kind of like the Cardinals this week, though. Just out of. This is. And this is solely based on the Colts winning 40 to 6. The Cardinals getting their. Their guts ripped out again, meet in the middle. I think the Colts win but seven.

I don't know. I'm betting against Kyler's foot this week. Yeah, that's what I'm doing.

Okay, next game.

Tickets, Tickets. What do we want to do. For tickets, shout out to the guy that reached out last week, blew a giant bubble. Oh, gross. As toe.

Shortest guy.

Sickest Call of Duty play.

No. What about. What about someone reenacting? Show us you crossing the line and dropping it as close to the line as possible. Yeah. It's a video of you slow mo.

We could do that.

Yeah.

Yeah. Okay.

I want to. I want to review a video of it.

I'm in. Yeah. You know what also concerns me about Gannon hitting Dimmercado after that. He wouldn't do that to a guy that he was afraid of.

Yeah, true.

He's not afraid of.

He needs to. Yeah.

Yeah, he needs.

Got to get in the weight room.

He's got to. Yeah. Step his game up.

All right, next up, tag memes in that. Chargers at Dolphins. Yeah. Tag memes. Chargers at dolphins. Dolphins plus four and a half.

Over.

Under is 44 and a half. We got no Najee Harris. We got no Amari and Hampton. We do have, though, Hassan Haskins, who scored 20 touchdowns in his senior year playing for Jim Harbaugh.

Hmm.

Maybe.

Yeah. I mean, this. Maybe this is going to be an ultimate Jim Harbaugh challenge week because he wants to. He wants to run the football. He wants to be physical. The Dolphins are the worst in the NFL against the run.

Yep.

And the Chargers are banged up. We'll see how committed he is to the run game, because I think they probably should still be able to run the football.

Yeah. And this is obviously a weird. Not. Definitely not a rivalry game, but it always is the. It's a Sliding Doors game because you have the Justin Herbert discourse with tua. Same draft class. Dolphins could have taken them all that stuff. Yeah. There's a Sliding Doors game.

I went back, I watched some interviews with McDaniel and some of the game films with McDaniel in that game against the Broncos where they almost set the NFL scoring record.

Yep.

And he looks like a completely different guy.

He's so downtrodden.

It's mostly the hair, too. The hair is just, like, completely disheveled now. He was high and tight back then, had the beard all trimmed up, and now he just looks like a mountain man.

I also wouldn't hate if McDaniel's like, Listen, it's going bad right now. Hot seat. Season's falling apart. Bad vibes. Maybe just come out on Sunday with pants that go all the way down to your shoes.

That'd be good.

Yeah. Maybe just try something different. You know, you gotta. Everyone's got to do their part. Why don't you get some pants to go all the way down to your shoes?

I, I'm beginning to think that when he did not go for a field goal at the end of that game, when he took his, his foot off the gas on that last drive against the Broncos and he decided he was not going to set the all time NFL scoring record, It's a curse that cursed the Dolphins from that point on. It's like you turned your back on history. Nobody had scored 70 points in like 50 years.

Yep.

In the NFL and with a touchdown, he would have set the all time record, which might stand for forever. Who knows. And he just said, you know what? I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to.

And that. I think that's what did it. The football gods were angry.

Yeah. He spit in their face. Yep. I think this game, Justin Herbert, like they, they can't protect him. I think this is like if they don't win this game and Justin Herbert gets beat up again, Jim Harbaugh might have a nervous break breakdown.

Yeah.

Maybe he, he feels every hit, he feels every hit that Justin Herbert takes before the game.

Maybe take it easy when it comes to like doing the shoulder pad punching and the chest punching. Yeah.

It's one extra hit.

One extra hit. You want to limit those to your quarterback. Their, their offensive line was not good, especially for the second half last week. And I did feel bad for Justin Herbert because it's not like he played poorly.

Yeah. Well, Dolphins defense is bad.

Yep.

And I don't know where the Dolphins head is going to be at after like that was the game they should have won against the Panthers.

Yeah.

Blew it. So. Okay.

Did you know that Keenan Allen is just. I think he's 67 receptions away from Antonio Gates. No, that's not true. He's. He's 22 receptions away from Antonio Gates Franchise record of catches. Which is crazy because if you'd asked me that, I would be like, yeah, Antonio Gates by a mile.

Yeah. But yeah, that thousand fastest to a thousand yard receptions was crazy.

Yeah. So he, it looks like he will be setting that record this year.

Yeah. Again, I think they need to phrase that stat differently. You can't be the fastest to something if it takes you, if it takes everyone like 12 plus years to get there.

I think you can say the least. Slow guy.

Yeah. Or he got it the quickest.

I don't know. The first. For the, the first two.

Yeah. The fastest. You always think like, oh, he's like 24 he's. How the. Did he do that?

Yeah.

Puka Nakua having, like, the fastest to a certain yard markage. That makes sense.

Yeah.

Allen is 33 years old. Been in the NFL for a very long time, but credit to him. Yes. To do it. Okay, next up, we've got the Patriots at Saints.

Hank.

Patriots. Saints. How we feeling?

This is a must win. This might be a bigger muscle than last week.

It does feel like you guys have the easiest remaining schedule.

Yep.

These are the games you got to win.

Yep. Because it's a big letdown spot.

It's a huge letdown spot.

Would you say maybe it's a letdown spot for both teams?

No.

The Saints just won.

Okay, so here's. I looked this up. Remember, we talked about quarterbacks that started oh, and 10, and I gave you the list. Three of them never won a game. That was Zach Mettenberger, Brody Croyle, and Deshaun Kaiser. Stan Gel bought the legend. We talked about him one in his 11th start. The last guy who actually won a game after was Derek Carr, who went on to have a long career. But the game after he won his first start, they lost 52 to nothing to the St. Louis Rams.

That's what we need.

Does that. Does that mean anything now? This is. It's probably not, because it's a stat that quotes The Oakland Raiders versus St. Louis Rams.

Right.

Which gives you a sense of the time here.

I think that this wasn't that long ago. Yeah.

It was like 12 years ago.

I look at these two teams and they're both riding high off big wins. One was their first one. The other was beating a division foe, the Bills, that everybody thought, okay, this is the team. The passing of the torch game. As Hank said, Super bowl favorites. And I Super bowl favorites. I look at the two coaches and I'm like, which one of these two coaches is more likely to have a letdown game or to, like, not follow up a good result with another good result? And I think that that would be Kellen Moore. I think Frable seems like the guy.

That would be Frable is a big underdog guy. Like he. Remember in Tennessee, it was just, you know, there would always be these games. That was what happened on Sunday night. Like the. The primetime game. Oh, man. No way did the Bills lose. That's Rabel. That's it. And Drake May was phenomenal. Drake May outplayed Josh Allen. He's like. He's very, very good. What?

I love hearing you say that. That's a beautiful sentence. No, it's a great. That's a great thing to hear. That's just a great sentence to hear.

So good.

How come his Drake may outplay Josh.

Allen in that game?

How come his alma mater won't even give him any credit for it? They did.

They tweeted.

Where are you at with your die hard, Unc Tar Heels football fan? It seems like, well, they had to come out and make a statement that Bill Belichick is not retiring. Never a good sign.

Or like, we're committed to Bill.

We're committed. He's committed.

They're committed to Bill.

He's committed.

This is a big game for the Patriots. I think it's like they gotta just come out and drop 40 on the Saints and.

And that's a good bell.

Keep it rolling for the rest of the season because. Because this is. They lose this game, it's kind of, you know, come back down to life if we win this game.

Yeah.

Looking at our schedule, the AFC east is bad. Mahomes is washed. Josh Allen is good. But Lamar's injured. Burrows injured. Like this.

This is the big washed.

Washed. He's two under 500.

He's. Hank.

That was a. He just. We're on to Cincinnati do. Yeah, he just said New Orleans. New Orleans. New Orleans. When asked about Bill Belichick. That was good.

Will you be a. Will you do us this next Wednesday we talk college football. Will you please give a state of the Union and address Bill Belichick? I would like to see maybe a statement that you release on the show. You have a week to prepare.

I'll think about it.

Okay.

So they said that Bill was looking for a soft landing spot. I did what? Probably not my place to do this.

We talk.

But I did offer him a position on the cream team. No, no.

You're allowed to do that.

Zach said that he would review his resume or review his application. So you're making Bill Belichick apply to be a member of the cream team.

Yeah, I'd run his application up to the front office, get it to the right guys.

I guess my only question, because I would think Bill Belichick would be great on the cream team. Tension to detail. Do your job.

Yeah.

What's Jordan's situation? Jordan, I think, is she micromanaging Zach and Jacob, which would be a hilarious visual.

Yeah, No, I think that she would actually go to the top of the cream team hierarchy.

Are you okay with that?

We just report to Jordan.

Yeah.

I mean, she'd become my boss too.

Okay.

Yeah.

She would own this company within three Days.

All right.

So.

Yeah. So offer for employment on the cream team, Hank.

So the Patriots are doing a white out.

Yep.

You're a big Penn State guy.

We are, Yep.

I got a question for you. Which coach do you think has had the worst post coaching career or post coaching life? Bill Belichick or Joe Paterno?

Joe Paterno.

You think?

So it was over pretty quickly though.

Yeah. I mean his post. His post coaching career was just. He died.

Listen, if, if, if we're going to.

Call, you know, is that worse than.

Bill Belichick leaving the NFL, getting a smoke show girlfriend that's, you know, significantly younger than you and then getting paid to not work? Possibly. I don't think that's too bad.

Yeah.

Hank, while you were addressing the media here, me and pft, I had a.

Question for you, Dan.

What would you like to say to the people that have accused you of being racist for quote, tweeting the tweet from the New England Patriots saying all white and you said we are.

I was going to save it for. I was going to say. But yeah, I would just say you're a fucking loser.

No, no.

Save for fire fest and you should.

All right. Save for Firefest. It's a great teaser. We will be addressing Hank being alleged racist during fyre fest this week.

I have a question for you, Hank.

Eric.

You don't get to do that. You don't get to do that. Dan Campbell Jersey.

Jerry, hit him with the hardy.

Yeah.

Well, is it where you don't get press?

Yeah.

Government. Well, you're journalist.

Mr. Commenter. I'm Mr. Mr. Commenter from part of my take podcast. Yes.

All right.

Thank you for acknowledging that. That. When was the last time the patriots had a three game winning streak?

I would probably guess 2021.

No. 2022.

2022.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that would be a break. That'd be combo breaker for him this week.

Yeah.

Last time we played the Saints, I think we lost 13 nothing. That was like the max so bright of all time.

Yeah.

But yeah, it's like again I. I know it's like I was talking to memes and then some of the zoopy like our Browns guys. It's like rebuilding. Going through a rebuild is tough, but there is light at the end of the tunnel and it's like.

So me.

Looking back on those dark times, like it was. It was dark. We lost the saints 13 nothing not too long ago and now look where we are like that. It's possible.

Okay, so that's a good segue. We'll go to. We'll go to Brown. Steelers so mean. Steelers minus five and a half over. Under is 37 and a half. The last time the Browns won a regular season in Pittsburgh. Anyone want to guess the year?

Baker Mayfield.

Covid said regular season.

I'm going to say he did win there.

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm going to say this was 2000.

Guy who's a porn guy.

Josh McCown. Oh, 2012.

The last time the Cleveland Browns won a game, a regular season game in Pittsburgh was October 5, 2003. That is 21 years. It was Tim Couch versus the combo of Tommy Maddox, Chaz Batch.

I was.

That's insane.

A freshman in college. Yeah.

We're one month into college.

That is.

So much life has happened that is insane.

They didn't have GPS's back then.

Facebook wasn't invented.

You had to print out cell phones.

Smartphones weren't invented.

I. I had a physical map in my car.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. That I used to. Yeah. It's crazy. That's a long time.

That is so. That. That is the most depressing stat I've ever heard.

It's very.

In my entire life. Now. The Steelers, they lucked out. Yeah, Steelers lucked out. They ducked Joe Flacco. They probably had something to do behind the scenes being like, hey, can you. Can you trade Joe now so we don't have to play against him this weekend?

Yep.

Mike Tomlin does respect him a lot.

Yep.

Yeah. Mike Tomlin also very good against rookie quarterbacks.

Yep.

Very good. 26. Six against rookie quarterbacks. But two Browns rookies have beaten Mike Tomlin.

That's true.

DTR Brandon Whedon. But those were in Cleveland.

Obviously in Cleveland. Yeah. The. I. I'm obsessed now with Kevin Stefanski, friend of the program. His answers to questions, hard questions. Because he was asked about DeSean Watson this week and he responded, I understand the question, but I'm really focused on this week. Yeah, I just like him saying that. I think that's the second time this year he said that. Like. I understand your question. It's a very nice way of saying. Don't fucking ask me that again.

Yeah, I don't want to talk about it.

We. We are not here to talk about Deshaun Watson.

See the list of Browns quarterbacks and their cap hits. No, that, that. Not this. This week. It was. It was quite literally the drill tweet. It was the Browns 2025 quarterback cap hits. Jameis Winston, $2.2 million dead. Dylan Gabriel, $1.1 million alive. Joe Flacco 999, 000 dead Shador Sanders 955, 000 active DeSean Watson 35.9 million PUP Bailey Zappy 315, 000 practice squad DTR 171, 000 dead Kenny Pickett 8,000 dead. It's just a bunch of Deshaun Watson just buried in there at 35.9. It's crazy.

Yeah. Help me with my budget. I've been bullied into taking the Steelers by our good friend Jersey Jerry. I kind of like the Browns, but I also don't know how they're going to score. I said the stat on Monday's show. It's 10 straight weeks, regular season weeks, that they have failed to go over 17 points.

And I don't have the stat in front of me. But we always say every single season, Mike Tomlinson after a buy.

Right.

And I feel like that's something. That's a trend. I feel like he's very, very, very good after a buy.

Yeah, I agree. And this is also a big, like, if the Steelers win this game and the Bengals and the Ravens lose, which they are both over a touchdown. Underdogs. The Bengals are 14 point underdogs. Steelers kind of got a little bit of a stranglehold on the AFC North.

Yeah.

Like kind of is happening right in front of our eyes.

Yeah.

So I. It's a big game. Steelers got to not fuck this up if they want to win the AFC north because if they lose a game like this, I feel like we'll look back when Lamar gets healthy and just like, oh, shit, it's a one game. You know, in late December, they should have probably beaten the Browns.

Yep.

Okay, next game up, we have Cowboys and Panthers. We have our bet from the Meow Mix guys.

We do.

Let's get it out.

I got it right here.

Yeah, put it in. Show the max. Put it in live. Go to the Panthers Cowboys game. So if you missed Wednesday's show, Meow Mix, the now defunct Carolina Panthers podcast, we had Jerry on from it. Really great guy. We just love the story. We're rooting for them. They're doing a podcast for like a thousand people. They're just all heart. And then the Panthers bummed them out so much that they're like, we can't do this anymore. They did this thing where they would bet a certain prop every single week and anything they won, they would roll over and donate to charity. So we're going to take the mantle for them. I think they're actually Releasing it as well if you go follow them. But we're also going to do it. We're going to have a Meow Mix pick of the week that they're going to give us every week and we'll say on this show for them. Hopefully they come back and podcast.

I'm going to give all my winnings on this bet to charity. If it hits, I'm going to do it to their charity, which was that. St. Jude's Yep.

Hospital for the kids. For the kids.

Ted McMillan. 70 plus yards receiving. Rico Dowdle anytime. Touchdown. I believe it pays out about three to one. Okay, three to one. That's the Meow Mix parlay.

So ride it for the kids.

Hopefully we get hot with Meow type McMillan. What?

70 yards right now the line six.

Oh, wait, yeah.

70.

70.

And then Rico Daddle touchdown. I like the Rico's adult because the Cowboys defense is not good.

Yeah, Rico Daddle revenge.

Did you know that last week. And this is more of a insult stat to the Dolphins, but last week Carolina broke a 65 game losing streak when trailing by more than one possession at any point in the game. Their last win before last week came in 2018. I did not know literally if you got up by nine points or more against the Panthers since 2018, you won the game.

That's. That's pretty sad too.

It's pretty pretty.

It's actually. It's not that sad considering I just heard that Brown stat. That's going to take a while to shake off me. But yeah, that's. And they haven't really had a lot of guys that can lead a comeback.

No. Do we think the Panthers. Would you classify the Panthers as bad?

Badish. Yes.

Okay.

Bad on the road.

They're bad.

They're baddish.

Well, I asked that because Dak is 76% straight up against bad teams and he's 65% against the spread against bad teams. Teams under.500. So. And he wins those game by 9.7 points per game. So he beats up on these teams. Dak has been phenomenal.

I would say badass. Yeah. Dak is definitely mvp. Yeah. MVP consideration.

You know what? Shock not shocked me, but Schottenheimer really should have led this with his press conference. He's got a couple significant tattoos on his arm.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, look it up. And it's just like, oh, okay. NFL coach.

What are.

He doesn't seem like a tattoo guy. And then I saw it. It's words.

It's.

It just. It just kind of took me back. I don't know. Is it like, Whoa. All right.

Fancy cursive.

That's. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Kind of like. Wait, Zach, can we see your cursive again? Yeah, it's kind of like.

Like that.

Okay. It's kind of like that. He doesn't have the eagle, though, where you go. Why don't you just Google this Instead of searching on Twitter?

That's also. You're still searching on Twitter.

I'm copying and pasting. You have to be mean.

We're not being mean.

You have to be mean.

No, we're just asking. Look at that. See, that was pretty easy.

All right. Yeah, that was easier.

So he's got. Oh, he's got one on the hand. Click The. The fifth picture there, where he's got. Yeah, yeah.

See, he's inked up.

He's inked up big time. I don't. This doesn't really matter. This doesn't mean anything. We. We all have tattoos in here. Like Zach says, everyone's got a couple.

Yep.

I just was like, oh, I didn't know that. I wish I had known that.

Don't see a lot of head coaches with the visible tattoos.

Yeah.

Unless they're, like, former players. Uh, but, yeah, he. I. I kind of think he's got swag now.

Kind of badass.

Yeah, a little bit. I. I feel a little more confident with Brian Schottenheimer now.

Hank, what do you think about this quote from Brian Schottenheimer? Cause I. When I first read it, it sounded like something you would say. It'll be good to see Rico this weekend. I know. We're gonna have to buckle up. We'll bring our seatbelts. Rico will buckle up. Can't wait to see the guy.

That's a great quote.

Yeah, awesome.

Every. Every Wednesday.

Perfect quote. Bring her seat belts. It's like, yeah, Rico's coming to town, but everybody be careful because he's in one of those moods.

Did you guys see the. The fox single map that, like, 90% of the country is going to be watching this game?

I love looking at those maps.

They used to mean so much because they used to actually be the only way that you would know if you're going to get to watch the game or not.

My favorite is when you see a map and there's, like, one dot out in Fresno, California, you're like, oh, that's David Carr.

Yeah, that's.

That's why that's going on.

Yeah. Yeah. Rico. Doddle did reply, by the way, to that. Not that quote, but just saying, are you ready for your former team? Ready to buckle up after his career game? Or George Pickens on Rico Doddle telling the Cowboys to buckle up. And Rico Dowdle said, nah, we're buckled up every week, bro.

Yeah, everyone's buckled.

Stays all buckled up.

It's gonna be a buckle game.

This is gonna be. Everyone's gonna be driving exactly the speed limit. Buckled up the whole time. Safety first. Okay, moving down the line. Seahawks at Jags. I love the Seahawks in this game.

I liked them last week, too. The Jaguars with that four and one next to the record.

Well, so that was pretty much. This is not an X's and disrespectful. What to the Jags? Well, here's my thought process. I like the Jags. I bet him on Monday night. I bet him a couple times this. This year. I've thought they've been, you know, I've been a Jag believer. That was, I would say, the biggest win, regular season win, because I know they beat the Broncos, whatever year that was in the. To go to the AFC championship game at a couple playoff games. They killed. They literally retired Dan Marino. That was the biggest regular season game in Jaguars franchise history.

I think, okay, I'm trying.

It might be up.

I'm trying to think the. The Blake Bordel's year, that Pittsburgh game was in the playoffs. That was a great game.

Yeah, they've had some playoff games that have been really nice, but I'm talking about regular season. Like, think about everything was at stake. 3 and 1 going against the Chiefs down 140.

Monday night, Trevor Lawrence.

Monday night, Trevor Lawrence, like with the late game heroics shot Khan saying that this is not for today, for tomorrow, it's forever. I just. That's a lot of pressure to have that type of win. First year head coach. It was definitely the biggest regular season win for Trevor Lawrence in his career.

Yes.

I feel like there might be a little letdown.

There could be. I also think that they're. They got pretty lucky. They were. They played to the best. Like, they did a lot of good things on Monday night, but they also had a few things that broke their way.

Yep.

Chiefs. And I don't want to, like, downplay the fact that the Chiefs, you know, they. They got a touchdown handed to them, but yeah, with the Jaguars, it feels like they're a good team. I don't think that they're like a 5 and 1. We just beat the Seahawks team.

Yeah. And it's. It's hungry dog. Seahawks need A win. Seahawks, you know, they, they're not a bad team. They, they lost to, to the Bucks in a shootout. I think you'll get a very strong effort from the cr.

I think they should let Trevor run the ball more because on Monday night.

Yeah.

That was by far the most like that was his running game.

He is a little goofy.

He's good. He's definitely goofy.

He's so tall.

Yeah, he's a spaz for sure. And I, I think that when he's able to do that or at least have the defense respect his ability to do that, a lot of other things might open up for him.

Yeah.

So let Trevor keep running the ball. And then I was looking at the pro football focus grades for rookies.

Okay.

I believe that two, two of the top five rookies right now might be Travis Hunter.

Oh.

At least two of the top ten. Oh. So Travis Hunter the wide receiver and Travis Hunter the quarterback or cornerback. The wide receiver is graded out as a 77.3. The cornerback is graded out as a 76.9 this season. So Travis Hunter the wide receiver we think could beat Travis Hunter the cornerback.

Yes.

Get toasted.

Okay. Last game in the early slate. Ravens at home against the Rams. Ravens are seven and a half point underdogs. The over under for this game is 44 and a half. What a bummer the Ravens are. I'm going to list some Raven stats for you. You guys ready for this? The Ravens defense after week five they are 29th in rushing yards allowed, their 30th in rushing. TDs allowed, their 31st passing yards allowed, their 31st in total yards allowed, their 32nd in passing. TDs allowed, their 32nd in first downs allowed, their 32nd in points allowed.

Yes. And Baltimore this year through five games has already given up more points than the entire 2000 Ravens defense did. In 16 games they've given up 177 points this season. The 2000 Super bowl winning defense gave up 165 total in 16 games. It's really, really bad in Baltimore.

It's really bad. And it's injuries obviously. Like I don't think if the Ravens were fully healthy, this would not be the same spread. It would. It would be close to a pick them if not Ravens favored if they had Lamar and all their defense, their defense, their starting defense in week one accounted for just 37.9 snaps in week five. That's how injured they are. So they're banged up as banged up could be. We talked about Derek Henry. We had the discussion if he's okay, this is not a good matchup for him. The Rams are the only defense in the NFL that hasn't allowed a rush of 20 plus yards through five games. So probably not this week.

Is Patrick Ricard back?

I don't know. Also another Rams stat.

He has not practiced.

Not practice as a four point favorite or more on the road. Sean McVeigh is 16. Oh straight up. So they win these games. Not nine and seven against spread. So not talking about the COVID but like the Rams take care of business on the road.

Yeah, they're supposed to. Now I did see that. That Hamilton might be back. I think he was practicing.

Okay.

So that'll be huge if they got him back. I don't think they've. They've announced whether or not he's going to play this. This weekend. But a counter to that stat, Big Cat. The Rams have twice lost back to or have twice lost back to back games as outright favorites of seven and a half points or more. Okay, so there is a pattern there with McVeigh.

Yeah.

Like if you have a bad loss against a team that you were supposed to wallow.

Yep.

It does carry over to the next week sometimes.

Okay. Okay. So there's that. Matthew Stafford's a Hall of Famer. I just want to remind everyone this is a crazy stat. So Pukinakua is on pace for 1,999 yards, which would be a record pretty crazy.

I mean, if you're at. That would actually be the most disappointing thing ever if you finish with 1,990.

Yeah.

I would almost not rather win the season receiving record at that point.

Yeah. Most receiving yards in a season. Number one, Calvin Johnson. 1964 yards in 2012 Cooper Cup. 1947 yards in 2021. Is there any is on pace for 2000. There is a common denominator.

What is that common thread there?

That would be Matthew Stafford. That would be pretty insane if Pukinakua breaks a record. And 1, 2 and 3 are all Matthew Stafford wide receivers.

Yeah, that'd be awesome.

That would be fucking sick.

Did you see what the Rams are doing after the game? Because I believe they're going over to England to play the job. Yeah. So you know what the Rams are going to do?

Oh, he's nodding his head like an.

They're not flying back home. They're going to practice at Camden Yards. They're going to practice in the baseball stadium.

That's pretty cool.

Before they fly out, which is pretty cool. They get to see some action in.

Baltimore Why don't they just fly home and just keep going the other way?

That's probably really far.

It probably really.

Why don't they just. Why don't you just build a giant plane that has a football field inside of it?

I like that idea.

Yeah.

Now we're actually thinking here. Okay. Before we get to the afternoon games. Chevy. We love Chevy. We're truck guys here on this podcast. Football season is here.

Today we got some stinkers in the afternoon. Titans at raiders. Oh, Raiders minus three and a half over under 40. One and a half. Yuck.

This. I mean, this would be the let's bench Geno game, right? Like if they lose to the Titans, you got to at least think about sitting them down.

Yeah.

Stink.

And there's only three.

The Raiders are mildly concerned about Geno Smith. Oh, they're mildly concerned that he's a broken quarterback. I actually had. We just taped the pro football football show. My hot take of the week was that Geno Smith is not going to throw an interception this week.

That is a hot take.

It's like the hottest take you could possibly have. That's all he does now.

My hot take is that Geno Smith actually played way above his drafted slot considering his career.

Yeah.

He's lasted way longer than people thought.

Remember the numbers, the millions that he made? Yeah. I talked about on Monday, if this is.

If this is his last chance. Gino. It was a great run.

There was a world where Geno Smith was just out of the NFL after his jets career. And he would have made $5 million. Instead, he reclaimed it. And a hundred over $100 million credit to Gino. Think about those things, Gino. Yeah.

Also stop throwing the other team big picture. Things are going to be okay.

Right. But maybe not because this team is bad. I actually think the Raiders will win.

I do too.

Just because it's only based on the fact that they lost by 34 last week. And everyone's going to be like, the Raiders are so, so bad. And the Titans might be figuring something out.

The thing is, the Titans win last week was so fluky and lucky that I don't think that they're in danger of feeling good about themselves. Like they. They felt good to not feel bad on Monday.

Correct.

But I don't think they felt good because they thought that they played well.

Yeah.

So it's not. I can't really see this being a letdown spot for the Titans.

Yep.

But I do think that Gino, against this team, they. They should win. They should cover.

Yeah. Okay. That's enough about that game. That's going to be a game that something weird is going to happen in that game.

Do you want a mildly interesting stat.

To go with Mildly.

To go with how mildly disappointed they are with Geno Smith?

I was gonna say to go with a. I wouldn't even know if we would. Would we say this is a mildly interesting game?

I.

No, it's not.

It's not mildly interesting. This is a stat that will make you. If somebody said this to you at a bar, like a friend, you go, that's wild. And then you go back to talking about whatever it is you're talking about.

I love it.

Okay.

Mildly. Wait, do you have a blind resume at any point today?

No, but I can whip one up.

Okay.

If you want.

No, no, that's fine. Yeah, maybe we'll do it for Fire Fest. Yeah.

Okay. Mildly interesting stat of the week. Every quarterback that the Raiders have played this season was drafted in the top six of their drafts.

That is mildly interesting. I actually, that might be a little more than mildly interesting.

Nerd nugget of the week.

I think it's me. I think it's medium interesting.

I don't think so. I think it's pretty mild.

Okay.

It felt boring. Well, you know what it is? It's. When I read the names on the list, it actually gets more mildly interesting.

Okay.

Drake May, Justin Herbert, Marcus Mariota, Caleb Williams, Daniel Jones, Cam Ward.

Okay, that brings it back down to mild.

Yeah, Mild, right? Yeah.

It went to medium and then it's back to mild. Bengals and packers. Packers are 14 point favorites off the buy over. Under is 44 and a half. Joe Flacco showed up to Cincinnati on Monday and I guess he does know what the packers do defensively because he already played him this year. But I think the packers are probably going to have their best effort off the buy with a weird 2. 2 or 2. 1 and 1. Record.

I don't know how Flacco works as the quarterback in this. In Zach Taylor's system of not having offensive line Simon, I don't know if he's the perfect fit for that.

He might be.

He's 40. Yeah, and even when he was like 24, he wasn't exactly fast. I. I don't want anything bad to happen in Joe. I'm gonna be watching every play like. Like the mom watchers. Like with my hands.

Commanders, huh? What?

Oh, with my hands over my eyes peeking through is what I was gonna say. Hank.

Right.

Hank. Who's missed more games? Drake May or Jaden Daniels?

What? I think Jane Daniels.

I don't think so.

Oh, you're talking about just not starting. Yeah, well, they didn't start Drake, man didn't start right away.

Well, no. After he became the starter, how many.

Games does Drake May miss?

Hit that concussion, right?

I love this. PFC's always got a stat.

Well, the bill stat was just wrong. Well, Drake May started that game.

Well, he did not win that game.

He started the game and they won, so. Yeah.

No, he did not. No, no. Joe Milton won that game.

Drake May started the game, Patriots won.

How many yards passing? How many. How many attempts? How many attempts did. Drake May have Started the game.

Patriots won. He was the starter. They won.

That's just.

And then he started on Sunday night. They won again.

I know.

In his last two as starter against the Bills.

How many games is Jaden.

Jaden's only miss. Missed two games.

Well, last year. Do you miss any?

No, I thought Marcus Mario to play.

Oh, he came in.

He came in.

Well, right.

That counts as missing. We just established that.

No, no, we didn't. Missing a game if. If you get someone else comes in.

So then Drake May won the. Against the Bills. No, your logic.

Jay Daniels has played in 20 career games. Drake May has played in 18 career games. But Drake May did not start the season last year.

So it's got.

So it's got to be the same.

Yeah, about the same.

But.

But only one of those guys gets talked about like they're going to get injured.

Well, only one of our guys cries every time he like, scrambles out of the pocket.

Zach said that AI AI says that Drake May only missed one game with a concussion.

Is that true? I thought he missed more than that.

I think he missed his game logs. I think he missed week 14 last year.

Fake set.

Listen, sometimes good stats, sometimes you got the bad.

I was just asking the question. I didn't know the answer to It.

That's.

That's how you learn. Good question. PF that's how you learn.

Good question.

Yeah.

Open your mind. Be open to everything. Jerry taught us that.

Yeah.

Open to the universe. We do have a. A one good game in the afternoon. It is the bucks and the 49ers.

Oh, wait. Back. Back to the. The Bengals packers game.

Quick.

Joe Flacco does have a chance to make history, or at least a tie history.

Yes.

He would be the second quarterback that would start and beat the same opponent twice in a season with different teams.

Yep.

So, I mean, it's gonna be tough for the Bengals to do that.

Jack Kemp.

Jack Kemp was the other one that did it. Jack Kemp. Bob Dole's running mate.

Was he?

Yeah, I think so.

Oh, shit.

Dole, Kemp.

That's cool.

That seems like it's a familiar bumper sticker, but. Yeah. So I'm rooting for Joe. Good luck to Joe. I'm also very worried about Micah Parsons just becoming a backpack that Joe Flacco has to carry around.

He survived him once.

Yep.

49Ers bucks. Bucks are minus three over under 47 and a half. I loved Baker Mayfield's quote where kind of at the media, which is a fair quote from Baker. He basically said, early on in my career, it was cocky, immature. Now it's moxie, and he's a dog. Same shit, different day. As long as you play well, they change the narrative, but you got to be yourself. And I've always been like that. Fair point. Baker Mayfield has not changed. The narratives change. He has not changed as a person. He is not. He has been the same guy through and through. It's just we had, you know, Colin Coward being like, well, he's not a leader because he. One time there's a clip where he ran towards the band instead of his teammates.

Yeah. Because he planted a flag at midfield. Because he grabbed his dick.

Yeah.

Because he was. He was pumped that he. I. I've always liked Baker. Always thought that he was dog. I never said any of the stuff that Baker's claiming people said, but I did hear other people say that. I never appreciated.

I said, huh?

Yeah. I said, that's not true, Budd. That's moxie. You're confusing that with moxie.

That's up.

Did you see Vita V's celebration that he did last week when they dropped him into coverage?

No.

It was the best seat belt celebration I've ever seen. They dropped him. It was like a zone blitz, and he dropped back. The guy dropped the pass or like, Hit off his foot and then V pushed him away and gave him the best seat belt strap on celebration I've ever seen.

I love it.

It was great.

V, too.

Is big boy do that.

I struggle with big boys in ages because Vita just struggle. You know, He's. He's only 30.

Yeah.

If you ask me, I'd be like, yeah, no, Vita Vay is like in his, you know, 18th season in the NFL.

That is, that is strange. Yeah.

I think it's big boys also, maybe Samoans where it's like all just kind of, it goes together. And I was like, I was, I was seeing. I think it was the 20. What was the, what was, what was Josh Allen's draft class was? 2017.

Which, which Josh Allen?

The R. Josh Allen.

Yeah. 2017, I think 2018.

Whatever it was, it was like the 2018, 2017 draft was unbelievable. And Vit was in that draft class.

Yeah.

If you had asked me what what draft class was in, I would not have been able to get that right.

Yeah. So are the Niners. We're going to go with Mac Jones again?

I believe so.

I hope so.

Is he the better quarterback? Oh, Vita V, seatbelt.

Look at that.

Oh, that's a big one. That's a truck.

Big boy, seatbelt, double wide.

Vita Vay. He's awesome.

Yeah. I think they're going to go with Mac Jones. I don't know. Did Mac Jones, he confirmed that he saw the dead body?

Yep. Yep.

But the banana story was not true.

11 was not true.

So I don't know who started that rumor that he ate 11 bananas?

Yep.

But he was forced to deny that. How many bananas did he have?

I said three.

But how, how does that get. I don't understand how that story comes out. How does three bananas. No idea. Especially with him. Because if you look at the mug shot, he's a 99 bananas guy.

Clearly.

But to, to go from 3 to 11, it just seems like, I don't know, fake news or something. But I do think that Mac Jones has been. He's played really, really good. I don't think he's as good as Brock Purdy. I don't think that he's like the long term solution, but he's made a shitload of money.

Yeah.

He does a great job being like a fill in for Brock Purdy.

Yeah. Yeah. Kyle Shannon. Best coaching job he's ever done. That's what everyone's saying right now.

Yeah.

Coach of the year. Yeah.

I'll put it this way. If Mac Jones had played in the second half of that NFC Championship game.

Yeah. If they'd had him.

If they'd had him back then. Yeah. Be a different story.

Yeah. Okay. Last game, Sunday Night Football. Very excited for this game. Chiefs minus two and a half over. Under is 52 and a half. Jared Goff is actually 2. 0 in matchups against Patrick Mahomes. Chiefs. I won week one. Was it last year? The year before?

It was.

Maybe it was last year. And then obviously the famous Chiefs Rams game. The best game ever.

I. I think that I like the Lions, but I'm concerned about their defense already.

Their defense has a lot of injuries.

They're top two cornerbacks.

I'll just say this, though, because I'm going to say it every week. The Lions in their last 50 games are 36 and 13 and one against the spread. That's a stock that you just see. It's like Nvidia or whatever the it is. Yeah. You know, that just keeps going up. You're like, man, I wish I bought that.

Yeah. I don't. I wouldn't say that there's a bubble on these lines either.

No. I keep betting them. Yeah.

Week one, the Lions looked like shit against the packers, but if you throw that game out, you would look at this team and be like, they might be the best team in football.

Yeah.

And I would not. I would not argue with you about that.

Yeah. They're just really, really good. And I mean, do we have Travis Kelsey being worried about Life of the Showgirl?

About the reviews?

Yeah.

I mean, things can't be too happy.

I. By the way, the reviews that I've heard are just Hank saying that people don't like it.

Did you guys talk about the act, too? Yeah.

Well, that was. I didn't look into it anymore. It was just you saying that. So I'm going off your reviews, Hank. Reviews. Reviews.

I did have a review of a review of Hank's review. The song would. That's about Travis Kelsey's dick. Yeah, that's what they're saying, Hank.

Sure. Yeah.

I've listened to it less than anyone.

Well, I haven't really. I haven't listened to it at all, so.

Okay.

But I'm. I'm told that that song is about his dick.

Yes.

And it's called Redwood.

Yeah.

Or she refers to as. Is that song actually about Andy Reid's dick? That's what I thought when I. When I heard all the stuff. Redwood. That's. I mean, that's what they. She's a football fan. She knows that's Andy Reid's nickname. Yeah. Just think about it.

Big Red.

Andy Reid might be plowing the field.

Easter egg.

Yeah, Easter eggs everywhere. All right, should we do our picks? Oh, no, we got to do fantasy minute. I'm gonna bet the Lions just Yeti. I'm gonna keep betting the lines.

Yeti.

Yeti. Yeti, Bony. Okay, here is our fantasy minute with Jerry o'. Connell. Start the music memes. Start the music memes. I got one minute. Hey, what's up, Fantasy? But, boys. Yeah, I'm at a sporting event. I got my tickets at game time.

Yeah.

Awesome.

Love that game time map.

It's sick.

All right, I got 15 more seconds. Everybody. Spend all your money on this tight end. Taylor on the Jets. You'll just keep dumping it to him. Also, spend all your money on Green Bay.

Spend that money.

It's over. It's week five. It's not real money. It's not yours. It's money. Money. Way to be. Calabasas got us a losing trip, some private school.

Okay.

He'S not gonna get played anymore, but he's not gonna get fired because.

Coach Gannon struck him. Well, he didn't strike him.

He just went pick up Michael Carter. Also pick up Hassan Haskins, the running back in the Charges. Also stream Cardi. He's got something to prove. I shaved my beard. T. Mac is gonna have a great game. TMac call him that. I get bad messages from some guy who says he's fighting with his mom.

I get it.

One minute, you big cat. Call 1-800- Gamble- YOU.

That was good. He actually made me think, like, Eddie DeMarcado. He's probably going to score this weekend because Gannon is feeling guilty. He's like. He has to apologize. Be like, I'm sorry that I hit you.

Yeah.

Tell you what. Here's a couple carries on the goal line.

Get the ball. Yeah. Good job, Jerry. Got under a minute.

Yeah. I'm officially. I'm going to bet that right now.

Before I forget, what do you say about tmax?

Is he talking about Tet? Yeah, like, somebody yells at him about Tet.

A Tet.

Who's yelling? Who out there is yelling at Jerry about Tet?

Tmac is also Tracy McGrady.

Yeah.

No, there's Tracy.

Yeah.

You can't.

There's.

There's one T. Mac, but I feel.

Like Jerry's the type of guy he's. He's allowed to just. He's just gonna throw around nicknames everywhere.

Yeah, Ted is. Yeah. Tet Ted. He's Ted. He's the TED offensive.

Okay.

Get on the board.

Okay.

I wasn't putting those in. That's on me. That's on me.

This is sick.

Nah, man, it was awesome, honestly, like, you know, just growing up and, like, seeing, like, the. The commercials of Campbell's and to be able to get a call from my agent and, like, hear about, like, it was gonna be with Jaden and his mom with the features of it and, like, seeing the script, it was hilarious. So, like, we jumped right on it too. And it was really unique, too, because it went right into camp, like, the shoot. So it was a cool, unique bonding moment for both of us because it was us acting versus playing. Playing football, right? So it was really cool.

It is soup season. I think that's officially underway right now. And it just started. Yeah, I'm gonna have some of this for my lunch today. I think I'm looking at the sausage, Matt, and the macaroni pasta. It's spicy. I like that one.

There you go.

I'll be diving into that one. I'm a big commanders fan. Big fan of yours. You had some great blocking on. On Sunday, especially that outside run that. That Bill had. You got out in space a little bit and threw your weight around. It was fun to watch. My question for you is, is Dan Quinn the same type of coach with the same type of aggressiveness and games where he doesn't get knocked over? As in games where he gets a little bit bloody? Because I felt like I saw, like. Like, Dan. You fucked around and woke Dan up when you. When you got him a little bit bloody the other weekend.

Nah, he was. He was. He was definitely a part of it. I mean, shoot, like, I didn't. I didn't know he actually got hit on the sidelines until we came off on the pat, and I just saw, like, blood running down his nose. So, like, I really. Or the field goal right before half, but. But no, shoot, man. Like, he's always in the fight, man. He's a fighter. And. No, it was just. It was so, like, him. His style of play, like, you know, talking about how he. His Persona and his aura about things, and it was like, truly, that was his identity in that moment. And got right back up. Bloody nose, like, got it all taken care of at halftime. Came in at halftime. We're all ready to go. Like, it was awesome.

It was all. Yeah, I saw that. I was wondering if he went to the tent. I don't know if they gave him a concussion test or whatever, but whatever it was, it woke him up.

I don't know. I don't know what he did. I have. But he was ready to go into third quarter.

Yeah.

Awesome.

So we talked to Coach Quinn during training camp and we asked him, I'm curious about the Shark Week last year from a player's perspective. What was Shark Week like in the locker room? Are you like, what the hell is this guy talking about? Are you like, oh man, Shark Week. This is going to be firing us up. Like, because I'm basically like, what am I going to do when Dan Quinn announces it Shark Week week again? How am I going to, how am I going to react to the commanders?

Yeah, it's just the perspective of just being where you are and what the situation is. I mean, and how DQ always talks about like, we're the hunters too, you know, and, but also like, you know, that came up the first time, I believe on a short week where it's like Sunday, flip the page, you're on the next game week, right? So it's like you have that short little window of time, but you have to flip it in your mind of like, you know, right after that game on that Monday, it's really like a Wednesday. And then you're into your Thursday, Friday, you know, going into the game and that Saturday, Friday is like in the same day of Wednesday. So whether, whether you're traveling or not, but like the biggest point of is like embracing it at all. I think too. And you know, I think it always brings back certain perspective too for me in regards of like, for myself is that like, like, hell yeah. Like playing off Thursday night, like, let's go, you know, like, you know, 30 nights, Thursday night Football. And then you just get into that zone and throughout the week and then you speak it in to existence, like, and how your, how your energy flows and how it's like DQ always talks about.

It's like an extension of one another. So having that vibe of Shark Week early and explaining it and how we're going to get and how DQ always says how we're going to get down, like that amplifies to the whole, you know, staff, you know, coaches, players, everyone who's involved that's on that plane ride, going on a Thursday night game or if it's at home too. So, you know, he sets the tone and you know, he calls it. We haul it. Right. So.

Yeah, I like that. Yeah, I think it applies to the fans, too. If I. If I know it's Shark Week, I prepared differently that week as well. I move everything up a little bit more.

Yeah, we had wristbands on and everything. Like, we. It was like law of attraction was out.

Yeah, I love that. So. So this week, we got Monday Night Football, big game commanders against the Bears. It's me versus Big Cat. We have an annual bet where the loser gets a tattoo. So there's. There's a lot riding personally in this podcast on that game. What's the preparation been like for Chicago?

Yeah, no, so we just got started going into today, and, you know, this is our day where we kind of have that a little bit more time to recover, where we're going to get more into game prep tomorrow. But just having film from last year of their personnel, they obviously have, like, some new coaches over there, but having that, you know, awareness of personnel and, like, how and who played certain different positions and stuff, you can kind of get a jump on it as a player, but obviously, like, you know, scheme of schematics kind of coming from coaches will kind of dial in tomorrow.

So. Yeah. Do you have anything in the game plan where it's like, we need to just rely on some more lucky bullshit like the Hail Mary last year? And I'm saying that is the most bitter person ever, because it did. It did, for all intents and purposes, completely end the Bears season.

Yeah. No, I mean, shoot. Obviously you got to have a good, you know, you know, certain situation.

After. Like, when you. When you. When that happens, then you get in the locker room after. Holy fuck. Did that actually just happen?

No, like, it was. It was. It was wild, too, because, like, when I saw. To dread to. When we. When Jaden kept running back and forth and he finally got to a spot and he threw it up. Like, I saw it get tipped, and then I saw someone catch it, but I didn't even. I couldn't even see who caught it because everyone was, like, freaking out down in the end zone. But I, like, turned to every. Like, to my old lineman Jaden. Everyone was, like, in their, like, shock moment, some people started running. Some people started just, like, you know, celebrating throwing their helmet. Our sideline was going nuts, like, and that everyone, like, rushed the field. Like, obviously, he's a game winner, right? So, like, you had this huge, like, blackout period of, like, just celebration. You got in the locker room, like, holy. We just did that.

Oh, yeah.

Like, that was My first one I was a part of for a Hail Mary. So especially coming off that game where we kind of, like, had a lot of, you know, we. We had a lot of, you know, pre snap and, like, some. Some penalties that kind of hurt us ourselves, that took away some touchdowns. And it was one of those games where it was like, you know, the luck just hit right at the right time. So obviously it was. It was a cool, special moment at the same time, too.

After the game, did you go back and did you watch, like, all the highlights that people were making of the Hail Mary where they put, like, Celine Dion from Titanic over it and, like, all the soundtracks? Did you spend any time doing. I spent a good, like, probably three weeks just watching replays of that over and over again.

I saw a lot of different shots of it, so I saw a lot of different, like, side angles of it. Like, how it all started. Like, the. The wide receivers and how they, like, went in a certain alignment. Like, I think Luke, maybe Luke was in front, Zach was in the middle. I think Terry was on the side and Noah's in the back. But I remember, like, watching the side angle from it and. And just the development of the whole play. But also, like, it was so interesting, too, Just to get to that play was the, I believe the short pass to Zach and then the out pass to Terry.

Yeah.

And just to get to that spot where Jaden had enough or we had enough leverage to actually get the ball up like that. So I just remember, like, having a good sense of, like, we have enough time to get to the sticks of where we need to get to. And then after the game, you know, there's a lot of memes out there. Like, so, you know, obviously you see a good amount.

Yeah, they're great. I. I have a question for you about Jaden. Love watching him play. He's been a breath of fresh air for this franchise at quarterback. And I always see him, like, he seems to joke around a lot with the other team during a game. Like, I don't know if he's a talker. I don't know if he's, like, making fun of him. I don't know if he's, like, introducing himself and becoming friends with them during the game. But, like, is. Does he talk shit or is he just being friendly to the other team? Because he does it a lot.

It's in his own way, I would say. Like, I haven't seen it like that, but it's hilarious because that's who he is, you know, that's how he, you know, you even see him, like, you know, blocking for Bill on the sideline last game, and there's a shot of him, like, about to, you know, block someone. He has a smile on his face. So, like, that's just who he is. Right. And. But it's also pretty funny. Like, you know, we'll be talking shit out there and everything, and, like. And then Jaden will come in and, like, say whatever he says. Right. But it's just like, it's. It kind of like, you know, screws around the defense a little bit, too, because I remember. I don't think Burns liked it.

Yeah.

To the first game. Yeah, he made some comments about it, but, like, I mean, the fact that he's making comments about it kind of says something, too, though, so.

Yeah. Because I feel like he. He tries to, like, joke around with them and just, like, kind of disarms them a little bit. If they're, like, pissed off, Jalen come in there, like, crack a joke smile.

Because everyone's so aggressive.

Yeah. And they're like, what's this guy doing? Why is he being friendly to me right now?

I don't like that, but, yeah, for sure. And you have a lot of people that respect Jaden, and especially for what he's done in even his first year and everything. And. But that's just his. Again, like, that's his personality, and that's how he goes about it and everything. But it's. But he has so much fun playing the game, which, you know, which I look at in such a unique perspective, too. And. And even, like, before on that last job we had with the Chargers, like, you know, I've seen some things on, like, Twitter or, like, not Twitter, but Instagram, of how, you know, him and Deebo, like, what dance they were going to do before the touchdown or whatever it was, but he was dancing in the huddle, like, just being in the moment. He's a. He's a. He's a big guy that, like, he's in that specific moment and really embraces it. And, like, when you get a TV timeout, you know, having that relaxation in the huddle and, like, seeing where we're at, what's the situation, and, you know, he's just dialed in.

Yeah. All right, so, Tyler, you're a Badger. I'm a Badger. How do we fix the Badger program? And more importantly, like, you. You know, you're from Wisconsin, son of dairy farmers. Barry Alvarez, when he first came to Wisconsin, basically, not exact quote, but basically was like, Wisconsin has a lot of fat people and we got to keep them in state. How do we, like you were an offensive lineman getting recruited. How do we keep the big boys? Because that's really the part that drives me nuts is Wisconsin football should run the ball and be able to punish people with the offensive line. That's kind of the nature of what the program should be and we've gone away from that. So how do we fix it?

Yeah, I'm not really sure in regards of like, schematics of how, you know, things are, because everyone has a different philosophy and everyone has a different scheme of what they want to go for. And like, obviously, like, if you look at my career, like I was pro style, style in Dallas and like, and I'm you. You have a mixture of everything here, right? So like, you, you can do it in regards of not necessarily running power or like, it's just more so about like, you know, sticking to the basics. Like what, like stacking those great days of like, hey, like, how, how detailed can we be? And just getting to those like, marginal gains of like, like, hey, like on this play, like, you know, the aiming point of the running back or like, you know, the combination block, getting it, you know, push this outside so like, you can have that cup at length. It just goes that back down to basics, I think. And obviously, like, with football, you're going to have those injuries where like, it's that next man up mentality. And I think that's the biggest part of preparation is like, whether you're, you know, second on the depth chart, starting whatever.

Like, you have to be ready for that opportunity. I think right now they're kind of facing that adversity where it's that next man up mentality. You know, I've noticed that there's a good amount of guys on the injury port, but this, that and it's, that's that opportunity for the next upcoming to really, you know, raise the bar and get back to the standard of what Badger football is all about. Being gritty and just, fuck, just grinding, you know, getting to that next step of like moving the chains. Like, doesn't matter how pretty it is, just move those chains, you know, get to the red zone, get to those fourth manageables where you can, you know, you know, stretch out that risk and press that envelope. So. But they will, you know, I have confidence in that. They will, they'll turn around.

Yeah. And when you were deciding to go to Wisconsin, I assume it was somewhat of an easy choice just in because of what the offensive line, you know, like, the powerhouse they've created in terms of, like, draft picks. I know you were con. You converted from a defensive lineman. Is that right?

Right.

But you always did. You always know when you went to. When you, like, like, started school, where you're like, I know what they're going to do. They're going to make me another one of these, you know, incredible offensive linemen. Just churn it out and be, like, drafted and have a good NFL career.

I really didn't know. Honestly, like, I really didn't know. I got offered the scholarship for D line, and then I. When I went over there for a spring practice, I was watching the D lineman, and, you know, some of the guys pulled me aside, like, hey, like, come. Come watch the O line here. You know, And I was just like, all right. Like, I watched both, you know, and I really didn't know how it was all gonna shake out because I'm like, how am I supposed to try it for both positions? Like, I really just didn't know. And, you know, coming from a very small school, like, you know, so I lit. So I went into camp, and when I got to my locker, it was number 61 with knee braces on O line cleats. I'm like, all right, I kind of.

Know where I'm at.

But in the spring, though, in the springtime, too, though, one of my, you know, high school teammates, Garrett Groscheck, he played with me at Wisconsin. He was the backup when Jonathan Taylor was there, too. But he would get stats from me when I was still in high school, like, finishing up that year just in preparation, just in case I was center, you know, so went into the first year and just had to learn center. And it's so interesting, too. Like, I always tell, like, some of the guys, like, because the story's really unique, because I had to start kind of from ground zero of, like, you know, learning how to play center. And, like, you know, I have a teammate here with the commanders, like Michael Dieter, and he taught me how to play center, like, truly, like. And I had Dan Voltz as well, and a lot of, like, the, like, alumni that were there just to pick their brains about some stuff. But it's a. It was just that ongoing process, too. Like, how I talked about before badge football. It's like, they really do put you in the best position possible. And you do see a lot of position changes coming from, you know, might not even be, like, smaller schools, but, like, you really see, like, even, like, you know, for example, like, one of my teammates, like, David Edwards, like, he came in, he was a quarterback in high school, tight end, first year, Wisconsin.

Then he went to, you know, tackle, right? And I played with him and, and now he's a guard, right, for the Bills. So it's like, so it's really unique in that way, but it's also like putting yourself in the best position possible, then, you know, just going for it and really, truly just getting down to like the nitty gritty of like, like footwork technique and really being efficient with your hands and being a technician. So just having that mentality at Wisconsin and, and that culture, it's, it's, it's really cool.

I love the idea that you just were, you were playing defense and all of a sudden there's just two, like, clunky knee braces sitting in your locker. You're like, oh, I guess I get.

The sign they're grooming you.

It was so funny too because, like, I was playing like, stand up five technique in high school. Like, you know, sometimes I play the three tech. But it was just hilarious though because, like, you know, you start from ground zero. But like, he just took that opportunity just to embrace it all. And like, I had so many great role models. I had like, you know, even like Ryan Ramcheck, that he was there my first year and got to really, like, you know, talk a lot of ball with him and you know, like how I said before, like Michael Dieter and had a lot of guys like David Edwards, like, just to bring me under their wing and. But to be a really cool part of that, you know, culture. But then obviously you have, you know, Jonathan Taylor come in and then it's just like this, it's a massive like, like fulfillment of like the run game and like how that, that's when you started to really love the game because, like, defense, when you play defense, like, it's totally. It's a different type of game for like an offensive player versus defense. Like, there's like, you know, you like the, like the play schematically learning different, like, formations and everything like that.

Like, it was, it was really cool.

Yeah. And pass blocking is like a completely different mentality from anything you're doing on defense, right? Yeah, you were just like attacking and now you're like, okay, I gotta wait for the guy to come to me.

Yeah.

They're like, you know, kicking post. I'm like, what does that mean? Like, yeah, you know, so it was really, really cool to, you know, to learn a new technique, but also to, you know, get it down to, you know, A very high level.

Were your family and friends, were they, were they understanding when you told them that you were going to play offense now? Like, what was that conversation like, Mike?

It wasn't too much of. It was more so like, oh, that's different. Like, how do you feel about that?

I guess if it makes you happy, then we're happy.

I'm like, well, I have a, you know, I have the football in my hand every play, so that's a little different, you know, Like, I literally have it in my hand, like, more than anyone else in the game. So it's a, it's a unique job, but also comes with a lot of responsibility.

Yeah.

Making the calls and being quick and efficient with them and, but also that, that challenge is like, that's, that's the best part of it. Like, you know, just getting a front. It's like a, maybe a low, you know, frequency front of like, what they might run and then you get it and you knock it out the park. Like, that's, that's, that's awesome.

How bad does it suck during a two minute drill when you, you have like a deep completion and then you have to sprint up to the ball and then get down to your stance, get set, and then snap it? Because I feel like that's a very underrated, hard thing that offensive linemen have to do.

Yeah, I would say, like the. So this last game, like with like the Chargers, like, we had the one right before halftime. And that's awesome. Like, that's part of the challenge too. Like when you're in a clock, a situation, you got a long, you know, pass and everything, and you get down, you get a set, and you get clocked it at like three seconds. Like when you run that each and every like, Friday to like, you know, perfection. And you just like, you, you have these situationals down path and like the, the hard, the harder one, the challenge is like when you cover a ball after like a 35 yard gain and you get down there and there's a, maybe a penalty or like something to bring it back.

Yeah.

And you got to jog back. You know, like, that's because I've been in situations where, like, I've literally covered down the field a good amount of, you know, yards and like, you got to, you know, come back. That's the challenge. I would say, like, it doesn't suck talk. It's more so like, damn, you know, like, thought we had that one, you know, but like, it's, it's one of those things where, you know, you come back and that's, like, where the conditioning part is in, especially throughout this offense. It's like, you know, we do a lot of great tempo, and, you know, Jaden and Cliff do a great job of, you know, calling it and. Yeah. So we're always ready.

Yeah. One thing, when it comes to spiking, I'm always worried that Jalen Carter is going to dive through the legs and just try to intercept the spike. You know that he tries to do that, right? And he's going to do it one day, and it's going to be awesome when it happens. I just don't want it to happen to us.

Yeah, no, he. He tries a lot of different stuff. You know, he's. He's very unique in those situations. I think a lot of those guys, though, too, have seen that, and I don't know why. It's always like, I've had several people, like, try to dive through my legs, and I'm just like, yo. Like, because it's just a. It's an awkward position because, like, you try to block down, you know, like, try to just, like, you know, and so. But he's been close, though, other than that. Like, yeah, he's been close. Number of guys been kind of close.

But I got a kind of a dumb question for you. We have a guy in our office, Mike Katic, who played center for Indiana, and when he gets drunk, he'll just, like, randomly just start at a bar, just start doing, like, past pro sets and stuff like that. How often does that happen in the offensive line community where if you're just drunk, like, you're just like, you know what? I'm not getting laid tonight. I'm just gonna start doing some pro sets with my boys at the bar.

I would say that definitely. That's definitely a thing in college, for sure.

Just getting your hands on somebody. Yeah.

Nah, it was. It's more like. It's so funny because it's like in college, you have so much time with one another, and it was. It was one of those things where, like, you would always, like, it was so ingrained in your brain to get this down or, like, you know, the technique and everything, and, you know, you have a couple drinks and you have. Have some fun or whatever, but, like, in regards of just, like, you know, being more open to the topic of where you're at in that. In that set and everything, like, I'm gonna get it done. I'm gonna get my offhand down, you know, everything like that. So I could definitely see it I love that. I can definitely see that.

Yeah.

That's hilarious.

Yeah.

I didn't know that was universal like that.

Yeah, he does it a lot, and it's always shocking when he does because he's got had, obviously, like, a quick first step. And so when you see a big guy moving like that, you're like, oh, that is kind of cool. It is a fun party trick, but in reality, what you're doing is you're just, like, going from a crouch to taking one step, and everyone's like, whoa, that's wild.

Yeah. Staying half man. Yeah, it's right there.

Yeah. Yeah. Like, you still wrestle with the boys. I feel like that's something that a lot of linemen do, too. It's just like, come on, let's wrestle. Let's have a quick wrestle.

Yeah, yeah. No, we. We had a good. We had some wrestlers from high school when going into college on our team, and, you know, there is some wrestling matches on vacation.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This might be a dumb question, but do. Do you ever forget the snap count?

No, I think it's more so, like. And sometimes it's. It kind of correlates, like, yes and no. I think there's a variation of it whether or not you lose the snap count, like, in regards of. Throughout, if you're making a call and you don't hear the first part, like, that's happened in my. In my, you know, throughout my collegiate career into the pros sometimes. But it's. It's. You have, like, certain. Certain code words to make sure, like, you're not on it, but, you know, that's the routine. Like, when you are making a call, like, you want to have a routine of, like, all right, this is on hard count. This is how I'm going to approach this. So I get back to reminding after you making two different calls, making sure it's like, on the road, right? Crowd noise and everything. You got to make sure everyone's on the same page, and then you have to go back into the snap count, and then it's like making sure everyone's on the same page, too. So there's been some times where, you know, you know, you get down even, like on a certain, you know, play clockwise, too.

Like, you get down and, like, what are the mechanics, too, of the play clock on the road and certain situations like that? But, like, long story short, like, yeah, there's been some times for sure, and. But that's the piece of, you know, like I said before, like, there's a lot of responsibility when you have the ball in your hands for the most games.

Yeah.

I would just keep repeating to myself, like, okay, on two. Don't forget it. On two. On two. On two. That's the only thing I would think about at that point. Throughout your career as a center, you've played with a few different quarterbacks. I'm curious because you guys have a close relationship, a unique relationship between the center and the quarterback. If you were blindfolded and had, like, noise canceling earphones on, could you tell the difference between Jaden under center, Marcus under center, and Dak under center?

Me throwing Horny Brook too?

Horny Brook, too?

Yeah.

Could you be like, oh, yeah, that's Dak.

That's definitely Horny Brook.

Yeah, I would definitely think I would know Dax and Jaden's the most, and I probably would. I'd probably would know Marcus's as well.

Okay.

Horny Brooks is. Sorry. Horny. It's been a minute.

It's been a while. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it would be like riding a bicycle. You'd be like, oh, yeah, I feel that knuckle.

Oh, yeah. When Jaden's under center, do you ever think about Horny Brook, like, closer?

Oh, man. All right, well, this has been. It's been awesome. I got one last question for you, Tyler. It's. It's the robot question. Rho b a-k.com promo code. Take 20% off your first purchase. Q, zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com promo code. Take has been a lot of fun. Thanks to Campbell's Chunky for setting this up. The best soup in the game. That's a fact. We've mentioned a lot of players. You mentioned Jonathan Taylor. I like, very simple question. Just how sick is he? Because he just keeps. He keeps just being the sickest running back. Would you ever. Would you ever just, like, watch him, you know, when he busts through the line? You're slightly like, he. God damn it. He's so good.

Yeah, I definitely, like, you know, follow a lot of the, you know, the Badger players, too. Like, if I know, like, someone's playing on, you know, Monday night or Thursday night when you have an opportunity to watch him. But, like, jt, like, you know, he's all over the board of, like, the stat sheets this year and, like, and what he's been. And he's always been really like that, too, you know, even from college into the NFL, like, you know, he's a workhorse. And what he's done in the NFL, too, is awesome to See, and man, like, his. His ability speaks volumes. And he's even. He's an even way better, like, you know, person than he's a player. No, like, no, no.

Not possible. Just not possible.

Have you been. Have you been, you know, a friendship with him a long time? Like, and you've been around him enough. Like, he's most genuine human being, but.

He'S the best running back in the NFL right now. Or one of the best. Top three. Is he a top three human?

In my opinion.

Okay.

Like, in all the world.

All the world?

The entire world.

Like your parents.

Yeah. Who knows? Yeah, you're right.

It's not a knock on him. He's probably a really great dude, but there's just no way he's a better person than he is football player. Because he's that good at football. All right, we'll see.

We'll see. Who knows? Who knows?

Yeah. What if he. What if he gets, like, a noble peace?

He might.

Yeah, look like we'll be looking, like.

I mean, if he. If he gets the Colts to the. To like, deep in the playoffs, that would. It would also be a really good sign of him as a human being. He would help so many people out. Yeah, that'd be really nice of him.

It's a great point. All right, well, Tyler, this has been awesome, man. Thank you so much. Best luck rest of the season except for Monday night.

Great luck on Monday night.

Yeah.

It's gonna be awesome.

Yeah. And we appreciate it. And shout out. Shout out Campbell's Chunky for setting this up.

Okay, Fyre Fest of the week. We are taping this at 2:00 clock on Friday. So you obviously heard there's Thursday. You heard the beginning of the show. So, Max, hopefully we're still alive. Hopefully we're still alive.

I think what. I think one person doesn't want us to be alive. I know that's for sure.

I think one of you guys is going to be still alive.

Oh, who doesn't want us to be alive? Is there anyone in here who maybe bet against all of our teams?

Not me.

I've a hater parlay.

Mm.

Okay. I have payout bet.

25, 1000 memes.

I have an issue with you though, because we talked about it earlier and then I heard you, you doubled down on it. Memes thinks that it would be better for the show if we both. If both of us or one of us lost tonight than if the Phillies and Cubs advanced and we had PMT Armageddon on Monday night, where it would be Bears, Commanders and then Cubs.

I would love that.

How is that. How would that not be the best thing for the show?

I don't want to neglect this show that we're doing. I think it would. It would highly increase this show. And then what? The Phillies make it to Monday? One of you. I don't think the Cubs are making it.

Okay, that's fine. But you.

But the Phillies, undoubtedly Monday will be just as good.

A Phillies, Cubs NLCS would be awesome for the show. Awesome.

Now, Phillies would curb stomp, but that would be awesome.

You have a week of me being mad at Max. How would that be awesome?

To show his logic makes no sense.

Such a hater. He doesn't even. He doesn't even want the show to do.

No, the problem is then one of us would go to the World Series and he can't have that.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Guaranteed World Series.

I mean, World Series loss would be awesome for memes though. That would be that. Just think about that memes. How good would that be? If you're thinking about numbers, you can't be losing. What if. What if Max got no hit in the World Series again and it was.

Another one exactly like the other one that was also a no hitter?

Also, I want Big Cat's attention to be completely divided on Monday.

That would be.

I want him to lose all focus. By the way, Big Cat, I have a game ball for Monday.

There's so much that has to go.

I agree. This conversation could be completely moot right now. One of us could easily be. Or both of us could easily be eliminated. So this conversation is stupid. But I'm saying as it sits right now at 2 o' clock on Thursday, you should be rooting for the Phillies And Cubs to play in the NLCS for the show.

Sure.

But if you guys lose game five on a Saturday, it does nothing for the show.

True. All right, that's. I see where your point is on that.

You have to shave your mustache.

All right, so what you need to. What you're saying.

Yeah, sure. Yeah. Memes. Yeah.

What you're saying. And I actually agree with this take. If the Phillies and Cubs are not going to advance, you need them to just lose tonight. Yeah, that's fair. That is fair. Because you want to happen on a show night.

Yes.

It's kind of like. What was the. Oh, it was the Celtics, Knicks, where we just didn't have any show nights.

Oh, yeah. That sucked.

Yeah, that was. I feel like you guys got eliminated on a Friday. Mm. Yeah.

But get out of trophy made for Monday night.

Oh.

Bears versus Commanders.

Yes.

It's right here. It's the football.

Oh, my God.

I put it on the line.

Hell, yeah, put it on the line.

We're betting the football. Shane's favorite football.

I love this.

Winner gets to keep that and do whatever they want with it.

I love this.

Is it a good football?

It's a. It's an incredible football.

It's a damn good football. Maybe one day that can.

Right.

Wow. Yeah.

But I think.

I think it's a great football.

The football is a bigger deal than.

That of the football.

The football is forever.

That football is incredible.

Yeah, it's good.

So good.

You want to feel it, honey. Hank, have a catch. Pretty good.

I'm gonna say right now, if I win that football, I would like to maybe put it up as in a future PFT versus Hank golf match.

Oh, wow.

Not the one you guys already filmed, but a future. Future one.

Nice.

Yeah.

I don't know. I don't know.

We should just maybe have to splash the pot.

It's so nice.

I feel like when I win this football bet that I'm not going to want to put it up for grabs again ever again.

It is an incredible football.

It is good.

Yeah. All right. Fire fest.

Hank.

Yeah. We alluded to it earlier in the show.

You're right.

The Patriots are wearing their all white uniforms and they tweeted out just as every team does the. The graphic with their uniforms of the week. And obviously, you know, another storyline of the show is. Is me, you know, me and Max going to Penn State, me going to the whiteout doing the whole We Are thing. So I, quote, tweeted and just said, we are.

Yeah.

Playing into the Whiteout, you know, element of the jerseys.

People thought you meant we are all white.

I. I don't even understand what that means. Like, that is just the example of social media. Like, people reaching and just going so. So reacting so fast. I mean, like, you're racist.

Like, I don't.

I. I'm so. I don't even understand how that could be racist. Like, we are all white. We're not all white. What does that even mean?

I didn't think about that. What does that even mean, though? I think you were rac.

I was saying we are all white.

That.

What does that even mean? Obviously, we're not all white.

We're not. We aren't.

No. Correct.

Hashtag we aren't.

But you. You want them to. No.

Even.

Even if, like.

No. Hank, answer this question. If it's all white, it's all.

Right.

Oh, okay. There we go. Okay. Threw in the tea.

No cat. All right, so people were really actually mad at you. Yeah.

For. Maybe they're just mad.

Honestly. Keeps it factual. Oh, man, that's.

People were doing, like, classic barstool. Like, classic.

Yeah. I don't know.

I don't.

I. I don't even fundamentally understand how that could be perceived that way, but, yeah, it was. It was just one of those, like. I don't really even tweet that much.

But I don't either.

I'll be tweeting less.

I gotta be under. I gotta be honest. I don't get it either.

I don't really. Yeah, it's quite a reach. Like, the. You said way more racist stuff.

The A man. I got, like, that was funny. You. Like, that was very, like, clearly could be interpreted.

I have a solution.

As a man, I have a solution.

Hank, you ready?

This is just. Yeah. You ready?

People reaching late October, New Zealand's rugby teams coming to Chicago. You have to be the biggest all black supporter.

Yeah, sure.

That's the name of their team.

That's so bizarre, I guess. Yeah.

I don't know.

That is very, very bizarre that people just took that in a different. A completely different. I mean, I guess they don't understand the we are thing. Yeah, like, that's a. Well, I mean, NFL college, I guess, are not.

You know, like, if you're following me on Twitter, I was doing the we are right for like, an entire two.

This is very funny that people actually were upset. Yeah.

I don't really understand how saying we are and they're talking about the all white jerseys that. I don't know. I don't. I don't get that one. Unless. Is. Is the Penn State white out? Is that race? Did you get unintentionally dragged into a racist thing?

I. Maybe, yeah, I guess.

This is Penn State. That's why they call it a cult, because.

Yeah, I always thought that it was called a whiteout because they like to cover up their mistakes. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

It's exactly what it is.

Okay, well, Hank, you're not racist.

Thank you.

One of the least racist guys I know.

He does really want to. We are all white.

What? But that. Again, like, what? We're not. So, like, I don't even understand that.

Yeah.

What do you mean by we?

That's what I like.

We are.

We.

Who is.

We are Penn State.

You're hoping that. You're hoping that's the future of America? Is that what you're saying?

We are.

All white.

Play the max.

That's.

That's when you guys supposed to say, oh, sorry.

Sorry.

I'm used to having max. We all repeat it.

Repeat it.

Stay. Pen.

Thank you.

Wait.

Oh, you're welcome.

Welcome. All right. Pft.

My fire fest of the week.

It.

It goes back to what I told you guys last week about how I hired another man to walk into my house to bring his other man tools to go into my other man room and hang up my guitar. Hanger my guitar stand on my wall. He did a great job. Turned out awesome. Very happy with it. But in my reimagining of this same office room, I've run into what I think is a much, much, much bigger problem that I don't. I don't really know how to solve. I have a couch in that room. There's a couch. It takes up too much space in that room. I'm looking to open it up, and I have no idea how to get the couch out of my room. Oh, it's impossible. I have a big, big, brown couch that's in that room. It does not fit through the door.

You gotta break it.

I. So then I thought to myself, coach, doctor, what are my options with this couch? I thought maybe I could lift it up through the window. Because there's a window in that room.

Yep.

But. Doesn't fit through that window, so I can't just put it out the window.

So it was there when you got there?

No, somehow it got into the room when I moved in.

Gotta find out who. Who moved it in.

I. Yeah, the. It was a Russian guy I. From New York that I paid to drive my stuff across the country.

Are you tossing the couch?

I would love to toss the couch.

Just get a couch doctor.

Yeah. Break the. Out of it.

Well, okay.

Smash the couch.

That was my other option is like, okay, maybe I. I disassemble this couch. It's like a leather couch. I don't know what's inside of the leather. I thought about renting, like, a power saw, a chainsaw, but I thought about chainsaw, power saw, but then chainsaw. Probably shouldn't use that indoors.

No, you should. Good.

Well, if it's electric, maybe, but I don't. I already got an electric power washer.

Too much for.

Yeah, people rake me for that one. So I thought maybe I get, like, a power saw, a circular saw, but I don't know where the springs are or the staples or the metal or the nails inside. And I read up on it. That can be very dangerous if you do that. So I don't know.

Goggles.

I don't know how to get this. There's a couch that's holding me hostage. It's barricaded itself in my office. I don't know what to do.

Couch dog.

Yeah.

Wait, what? You keep saying. What is it? What's a couch doctor?

You never had to do this in New York? No, I do it multiple times. They come. I'm sure they have it in Chicago, but definitely more of a New York, Manhattan thing. But they just come and, like, cut your couch in half, take it out, and then put it back together.

That's actually a job.

Yeah.

A couch doctor. Yeah, like Johnny sends. Mm.

I'm surprised you never heard of that. No, that was, like, very, very common.

Because any of those doors. I have an idea, though. Better. Better idea than a couch.

And it's usually like a Russian. Like, it's a. Yeah, yeah.

Good, good.

Yeah.

Could I offer you maybe for a PM tv? We give the cream team a couple tools and we just. Just put them in your basement.

We just see what happens.

Hey, get out. When you get out, you could get.

That couch out for you.

That's what I'm saying. Good. The two of them trying to get that couch out.

Okay.

If you don't care about the couch's. Hell no.

In fact, I. The couch, I think we got.

I think we should send the cream team to your basement. I would almost put a camera there and just be like, get it out.

I would almost prefer that the couch be destroyed after the last, like, two weeks of me trying to figure out how to get this thing through the door.

Perfect.

So the health of the couch does not matter. Just get it out of your house.

No, no, in Fact. Like, yeah. I want you to hurt it.

Like, abuse it on the way out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't want that capture dead or alive.

Unless.

Unless there's somebody out there that could use a free couch, but I don't think you want this guy. This couch is bad luck.

We will.

If you welcome us into your home, we will leave with a couch.

Okay.

I love that. All right.

Yeah.

Hired.

But don't mess up his walls or anything.

No, you can't. No, no, no, no, no.

We. We respect your home 100%.

Yeah.

We would have no intent of going in there and just messing up your. Your space. That's your safe space. That's your home.

Yep. And I will. I'll put money inside the cat. Like, under the cushions. I'll hide money in the cat. Whatever you find, you keep.

Okay.

As your payment.

I'm happy to do it for you.

Okay.

I'll inform Jacob.

Okay. Dude. What can't the cream team do?

They can do it all. They can do it all. Well, what? Keep the machine on for when Max is trying to watch a Phillies elimination game. Oh, can't do that.

Did they lose? Was this a loss for the Phillies last night? Oh, so max is 10 when the ice cream.

Oh, no. We have to shut off.

I didn't even want the ice cream last night. It was the other. The other people.

Max, come on.

You can go. You can go on stream. You can see it. I was trying to say no ice cream because we were playing well without.

The ice cream, so we got to shut down.

And then Dana wanted the ice cream.

Huh?

Shutting it off for the Phillies game.

I don't care. I'm not. I'm not eating any ice cream during the Phillies game.

You gotta. You gotta just keep doing what you did.

Weight loss. I went. I went down three pounds this week.

Because of the Phillies.

I was too anxious.

Let's go.

I'm back on track.

Let's go. All right. My firefist. Zach. What are you gonna say?

I was just gonna say we weren't sure if keeping. We had it open for the Cubs game and then the over after dark stream. We weren't sure if a third night in a row was gonna.

Heard it.

Yes. So we're going to have it open again tonight. But we can. We can test how many days in a row we can go, but that could lead to. Just need a tech to come in.

Yeah, no, we don't want that.

We don't want that.

All right. My fire fest is a quick one. We're all tired this time of year, football season. But there's moments that I. I'm tired that I. Like, my brain doesn't work, and I have to, like, stop myself. And it happened this morning because I came down to my kitchen, and my kids were getting ready for school, and my son. First thing he said to me was, where's the big check? And my first like, like, knee jerk thought was, how the fuck did Hank get to my son? And then I had to stop and be like, wait, I did talk to him about the big check, like, two days ago. But, like, that moment was like, I had. I had to really kind of reassess and be like. You thought, actually for a second that Hank, like, somehow got to your son and, like, got him to troll you with a big check question at fucking seven in the morning. So I need to sleep because that was bad.

But that's great work by. That's great work by Hank to make. To make your enemy believe you're capable of anything.

I was so mad at myself for having that moment of weakness where I was like, what the fuck? Where the hell is Hank?

He should have accepted it.

Hell, I actually shouldn't. We won.

Raises a fair question.

On Wednesday, he was looking for Daddy.

50.

50.

He's going to talk to. To a therapist in 30 years about how daddy didn't come home with the big check that he promised one time.

I know. I did promise a big check. I got to get. I'm gonna get a big check of my own. Just walk around with it.

Write yourself a check. Yeah.

Zach, my firefest of the week is. I think I've become uncomfortably addicted to Stella's Coffee Run.

The mobile.

Yes.

I can't stop playing Stella's Coffee Run. I play it in the Uber when I'm laying in bed. I play it when I'm using the restroom. Any free time I've had in the last couple weeks, I've just been grinding Stella's Coffee Run. I just got kicked out of the top 10, and I'm pretty pressed about it.

Yeah, I've watched Zach play it.

He.

It's awesome.

It's so much fun.

Yeah.

Go play Stella's Coffee Run.

I still don't understand how you play it. I keep trying to go, and. And you can't. And you can't play it.

Game is ended.

I thought.

Yeah.

Limited time only.

I don't know how you got in there.

He keeps playing.

Yeah, I think he's, like, hacked into the back end or something.

I mean, it might Be. It might be like oval. You couldn't get no score, you're out.

It was like.

It was. It was a limited time only thing.

I thought we may have to bring it back.

We have to. I like it.

Zach might be hacked into the system, and it's just like him competing against memes.

Yeah, if I was hacked in, I would have put. I would have placed myself back top 10 because I was.

I'm pretty.

I was pretty upset about getting booted.

But how did you get booted when no one else can play except for you?

We're playing.

I just.

Yeah, he's. I'm looking at his phone. He's playing.

It's a great game.

Like, look at the computer. It won't let. It won't let anyone else play.

Zach's probably a mod. He probably banned you.

All right, let me try mobile. Maybe it's mobile.

I've watched him play. He is addicted.

You guys should try it out there. It's so good.

It's great game. We gotta bring.

Well, I don't even know if the.

People can bring it back. We got to bring it back. We do have to bring back. What do you. Hank's got something. Hank has something.

Permission to be a rat?

Yes. Permission granted.

I was in the booth the other day for an interview, and they were talking about their diet.

Oh, this is fucked up. Also, I just. Treadmill still doesn't work.

Okay, so Zach is playing. He's playing by himself, and he's getting. He's losing ground.

Which interview is this?

What happened?

I think it was Tuesday.

Okay.

I mean, the wheels are just. It just.

And tell us. You guys gotta just. You gotta.

You gotta let it out there. I think. I think a little bit of shame will maybe, like, kickstart you into. Into. Into positivity.

I had a good week.

I also had.

Who are you talking to?

What? Hank's trying to do you a favor by shaming you right now. That's what you guys don't understand.

It was.

Hey, that with your money.

One guy.

Say it.

Say, I think Hank might be only throwing me under the bus. Not the whole entire.

Well, it was the whole booth.

It was just that.

It was the.

It was the booth conversation. And you guys were like, we can't talk about this. We can't talk about this now. In my head, I was like, I'm sitting here. Like, I can't.

Yes.

Because Zach had had a. Zach had a historic meal.

One of.

One of these days this week.

It wasn't even that bad. It was like, all right, we're here now. I guess we'll just get into it.

Yeah, I was. Hard conversations.

Yeah, hard conversation. I guess it's a carb conversation. I was a little homesick, and I was, all right, let me just eat some comfort food. So I just had some baconator fries, some chicken sandwiches, and some concretes.

That was.

It reminds me home.

Wait, there was a lot of S's on those.

I think it's a. I think I might have, like, a. An even number thing going on sometimes where I. I prefer the meat. Anyways, That's. I'm rambling.

No, no, no, Back up. You. You like burgers and even numbers? I like. Yeah, I don't know.

That sounds.

No burgers. It was all chicken. No burgers.

So this a. It was a big order. Like, oh, it's not bad. And then he was like, yeah, it was. And two concretes.

It was just give us a full order.

All right. It was.

It was. I had. I got four Baconator fries. The nuggets were buy 10, get 10 free. So that's like. Yeah, yeah, you got to get a deal.

You got to.

And then the value chicken sandwich. So the small ones. And then.

Wait, how many?

Just two.

Two.

I kept things even. And then I got some. Two concretes at Smosh Wall.

All right, so two chicken sandwiches, but that Butterfinger was four fries, two 20 nuggets, two concretes.

Did you. What are the flavor profiles of the concrete?

So the first one was butterfinger pie, which is like butterfinger mixed in with vanilla and marshmallow fluff. And the second one's called triple chocolate cake, which is chocolate fudge, chocolate ice cream, and chocolate cake. And you can have them add additional chocolate cake if you want to. I didn't do that this time.

You did not.

Did you have putting you on on concrete game?

You didn't add anything to either one of them or just one?

No, I didn't add anything to either of them. I was just trying to put you on a little sauce.

All right, I appreciate that.

And for people who are wondering what concretes are, they're basically milkshakes. Like, heavier milkshakes.

Yeah, they're good.

And this booth was a safe space, and it's no longer safe.

Hank just completely violated.

Wait, how are Memes and Max doing?

I'd go. I go, good week. Down three pounds this week, down six and a half.

Oh, okay.

Okay. So, Zach, you gotta just.

I gotta carry my weight. EB and flow. It's a team sport, and I'm letting The team down.

It's a lot of weight.

We got time left left. Unfortunately, it's a lot of weight.

Do you think maybe I. I can spot one part of your meal that might be an easy part to cut back on the calories from? If that's okay.

Yeah, I need all the advice I can get you.

I think maybe just get two Baconator fries instead of four Baconator fries.

They did short the fourth one, so it was really like 3.5.

Okay, well, you should have said that.

They're very eighth of Baconator fries.

Yeah, if I were to pick one part of it, I'd say maybe, just maybe not four orders of fries.

You're right. 100%.

Yeah, I think we can work on that. I think that's doable, right? For a goal.

100.

Also, that was. That was actually only meal of the day.

Oh, he's a weird eater like that.

Yeah.

Yeah. The story's getting better and better.

Yeah.

Did it make you feel less homesick? No.

I just woke up the next morning, saw that Wendy's gave me the big, big bag, and I was like, this is fat.

Yeah.

I regretted it.

Also, is your mom Wendy?

No.

How is that fixing?

There's a Wendy's down.

Comfort food.

Comfort food.

Comfort food.

Comfort food.

I think because they got Wendy's in Florida too.

Carbs are good for celebrating and bad days. So, like, you just sometimes you gotta lean into the food.

They're good for everything.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What's your happy meal?

It just depends. I get into, like, kicks, but a lot of times it ends. You go savory, then sweet. So I do really enjoy french fries. So a french fry variant of some sort. And then ice cream is, like, a must.

Do you go. Do you switch back and forth? I switch back and forth.

I go one and one. So you hit a little salty.

Hit the ice cream.

Little salty.

All right, so you know what?

That's.

That's the problem, Zach. It's not a problem because it's just this is how we're wired as guys. You just got trapped in the cycle. Because, like, I get trapped in the cycle sometimes where I'll be like, oh, I want a snack. Oh, I want a little chocolate. Oh, I want to go back to the snack. And then next thing you know, you've eaten an entire bag of chips and an entire bag of candy.

Get caught up in the back and forth.

You just get in the cycle, and you can't get out of the cycle because you don't know which one to finish with.

We're cycle guys. We don't have to be cycle guys. We can break him.

No, I. I think I look, it's like.

It's good.

Yeah, he's working. It is.

That was up the Hank did.

Yeah, it was.

It's probably the most up thing Hank's done this week.

Oh, what we are.

Hank hasn't looked like. No, that's not even close to the most up.

That was. That was call back to me freaking out at him on Sunday.

Yeah, it was very funny. I. I just.

I was sitting there like, they just kept talking about how we can't talk about it, and I just was like, yeah, I was gonna bring it up. I was gonna bring it up Tuesday, but it was already. It was a long show.

So I. Memes, do you have a better week this week?

Yeah. Good week.

All right, let's go. You're back.

Memes could be great tonight.

Okay.

That's why it was a good week.

Numbers three. Those four you're just giving off up.

Yeah.

You're quitting on three.

I'm going with four for the Baconator fries.

Don't laugh.

It's good.

That's a good thing.

I mean, Look, I thought two sodas was crazy. Four Baconator fries.

I'm going 41.

I don't think that's. I can't.

That's one of these places got to do Zach special.

That's up.

It is nine. I'll go 15.

I. I'm trying to help.

We are.
