. Welcome to part of my take, presented by Draft Kings, the Crown is yours. Today is Friday, September 11th and football is back, so back. Probably the last time we'll say that. No, we're going to say it on Monday. No, but Monday will be boomers. And we're going to say football is back. Yeah, true, true, true, true, true. Yeah. Football is back. Back. We have our week one preview coming every single game, Scott Hanson, Firefest, a great, I actually was while we were

taping this show because we taped a lot of it earlier in the day. I was smiling because I was just getting to talk ball with my best boys. It's so good. We've been doing it for the last month or so, but it's mostly just been using our imagination. Correct. I wonder what the season's going to look like. Max, why is Jill and Hertz not throwing enough picks? You know, like that sort of stuff. Now it's like we got actual shit to talk about. Right, like Drake may throw in three fourth quarter

interceptions and maybe the worst throw of his career that you said that. Yeah, worst game of his career, worst throw of his career. Hank, you seem like you almost canceled football season on Wednesday night.

“That's what it felt like. It sucks playing the first game of the year and then having that,”

you know, be the end result. Obviously, this is a Sunday at one o'clock game. It doesn't get talked about as much as it has in the past 24 hours, but rightfully so it was a horrific loss. Yeah. There's no, there's no, there's no two ways about it. Yeah. I've got some stats. If you want

you buy the numbers. I got stats too. Okay. Oh, okay. Oh, you got first. Let's go staff for stat.

You want to go set for stat? Yeah. All right. Well, we, the rest of us will be the judge on who wins the

Well, me and tank, you go first. All right, here comes Max. He's flipping a Lucy. I got a Lucy. All right.

“Flip it. The heads up top. Yeah. We understand what heads. Who's calling it? Hank heads.”

Heads it is. So are you a first. Yeah. For a second half? Yep. Okay. Okay. So I'm defending. I'll take this this side. All right. Here we go. Stat number one. Every pass that Drake may has thrown over 15 yards this season has been intercepted. Whoa. That can't be true. Three of them. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Hey. The last five quarterbacks of throw three interceptions in the season opener. Matthew Stafford 2022. Joe Burrow 2022. Josh Allen 2023. Drake may this year. It's a good, good group to be in.

It's a good thing. So none of those guys went to the Super Bowl that year. You're not on this. Well, I know. We're judging. We're judging. I'm just PFT wins. That's that. Yeah. PFT won Brown. Yeah. I mean, you know. Well, no. That was that. That's just in a row. Yeah. That's that. Also, you list the guys who didn't go to the goal. That was the best quarterbacks in the lead. Yeah. But those guys didn't go to the Super Bowl that year. And then when the MVP that year.

You sure about that? Yeah. I mean, Joe Burrow's never won an MVP. Matthew Stafford's first

MVP was last year. I remember Josh Allen's MVP. We was that 2024. That was the 2023 New Orleans Super Bowl. It says the Eagles. That's 20 24. Okay. So we, but not Super Bowl. So MVP. Max. All right. Uh, tie. Whoa. Whoa. I saw that. So that 2022 season was after they went to the Super Bowl. No, I know. That's I'm saying. Yeah. They didn't go to the Super Bowl that year. Okay. Next. That.

The matches shows you. No. No. No. No. No. It's not. And that's not your job off side. Yeah. Matt Stafford and Joe Burrow both did it the only reason didn't happen in Donald's because he got hurt. But that just shows you. That's

“just that you get to the Super Bowl. It's kind of a right of passage. You throw three. You should say,”

Sam, Donald, if you played the whole game would have come. That's right. Yeah. Without that. Well, not Apple, Matt Stafford and Joe Burrow. Hmm. Okay. This is Super Bowl stat. You would know. Okay. Okay. How much time is the time for you to do that? It's spicy. I like I got Tom Brady stats. Keep it. I like. Okay. Good. Good. Good. Good. Um, I'm bringing you by the way, and then you can talk. So anyway, I'm at this point. Matt, you want to touch down. Max, uh, in, in Zach, uh,

with judges boxing rules. You're, I mean, like I like 10 nine. One of them will, will tabulate after. Okay. That was round one. Okay. Of the last 22 Patriots opponents, 11 have fired their head coach. 12 have played a quarterback who is back up or benched. Only five out of the Patriots. Last 22 games have not been against,

“uh, bench quarterback or a fired head coach. Whoa. Say that again. It's a lot of words.”

The Patriots last 22 opponents. Okay. 11 have fired their head coach. And 12 in that game played a quarterback who was either a backup or a quarterback who had been benched who returned. Got it. Okay. So only five of the Patriots last 22 games were not against either a coach who was about to be fired because the team was so bad, uh, or a backup quarterback. That was from Scott Casma. Okay. Tom Brady year three week one had four interceptions in the

first game and got benched. Okay. Okay. So to answer your Tom Brady stance, trick me. Is that where

you're saying? No, I'm just saying like, I'm just saying. I'm just saying these things. I'm just being a benched trick. No, it just means that one bad game the first first, first week of season. Okay. But you're saying that like maybe if you, you benched Tom Brady and he got better. Ben's may play in the last game that he played. The CX defense is phenomenal. Okay. Oh, that's not yeah. Hold on. I'm I listen. I'm I'm scraping these rounds. That was round two.

So we're going to unveil the card at the end. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You got to build the card at the end. Round three. Drake may as a first quarterback in NFL history to play two opponents back to back and have the best fourth quarter of his career in the first game and the worst fourth quarter of his career in the second game. Oh. And what happened in both of those games? He lost both of them. Okay. Okay.

Josh Allen and 2023 week one had three interceptions against the Jets and lost the game. Wasn't this you already did that stat? No. What year was that?

Wait, when did Josh Allen throw three interceptions? Well, one one was a collective stat

“about the quarterback as well. No, no, but I need to know when Josh Allen throw the loss. The game was”

an add out add out. Wait, put double dipped on the same stand also. You might have screwed up my

point of not winning the MVP that year because that your now you're saying was 2023. I said that the first time.

You said it's 2024. No, I didn't. It was opening 9/11 and Roder's store is Achilles. Did you not say 2024 last time? No. To start the show. I was that. Okay. So Josh Allen did not win an MVP the year that he threw three interceptions. So open the season. Okay. Okay. Half time show. Okay. Max. I'm a little more. Do the half time show. Yeah. I'm done with this. Is that fine? All right. So that's a TKO for PFT. I can drink these

guys to games. He has thrown more interceptions than Jalen hurts through in the 2024 season. Okay. All right. And how was the last interception that he threw last year? That was good. All right. What was your last

“session? A lot of Patriots fans were like the talk about AJ Brown finally getting a good”

quarterback. You're about to eat. All right. I thought he's hurt. You just you just you just live or shot it. Hang. He's out. What was your last one? It's been five years since we've seen as bad of an interception situationally as Drake made through on that last pick. Wow. Down by three less than mid left inside of the 20 yard line. Last time we saw a pick that bad Kyler Murray week eight, 2021, which was I do believe modern warfare in WXP weekend. Mm-hmm. So Hank, what what what

were you first of all you lost? That's that off. You get you gave up. Mm-hmm. You didn't come

out of the Queen. You didn't come out for round. I was it was it was it was it was the. I had you was right. I had you 10 nine and round two. Drake made his last five right here. Seven touchdowns 11 turnovers. Seven picks four fumbles lost, 24 sacks, 143 yards lost on sacks, six yards per attempt, five and a half net yards per second. Not I mean, now he's just being mean. He's he's he's caught his bloody. I mean, Joe. It's a great match. Josh McDaniels. It was it was it was a it was horrible

play call on the entire night. It was it was super conservative. It was tough to watch even before they gave up the lead M before the interceptions. That was like and off the saccharine offensive once that as much as it's a Drake based out. If I were Joe Rogan going to the center of the ring, I just put the microphone in PFT's face. He just hit me with another stat. Mm-hmm. I can shout out this last stat. I can do another one. Okay. Okay. Will Campbell short of storms in the NFL

for an opposite tackle, Drake may smallest hands bad combination. Combination. That one wasn't that was more editorializing. That wasn't so much a stat. The last one before it was really good. Yeah. Hey, it's week one. It's week one. Yeah. Like AJ Brown injury sucks. Sam Donald injury sucks. Drew Lock. By the way, we should give him a little bit of credit like that did it felt like the Patriots thought they were going to win that game with 10 points when Drew Lock came in and they

played that way. They were very conservative. It felt like the end of first half. It just is like

but you can never the Seahawks defense is so fucking good. You don't always keep a team their team

in the game. Yeah. And this is actually like a legit stat credit to the Seahawks defense. Remondrous Stevenson. He had 50 yards after contact. He had one yard before contact. Damn. So they were hitting him as soon as he got the ball on the same. Yeah, they're flat. They fly around. They're everywhere. They made the big plays. That interception by Job getting his feet down. I know it was a bad throw but it was also like a very impressive interception. That is the

Patriot way. Do your job. Yeah. JSN. Like that. JSN is everything you want in a number one receiver in the fact that he could be quiet for a while and then just one catch and he changes the game. Yeah. Like that's that's the type of special player he is where he just outruns everyone. They need to sit off your headphones. Just relax. You don't like what you're going to say. You didn't say anything.

“You wasn't even looking. You have the green dot hack. You have to keep the headset on.”

It's week one. Yes, week one. Just week one. Stuff happens. This was a world-class defense. The crowd was fired up. It was a banner night. The eyes of the world were upon you. Everybody has a bad game sometimes. I talked to Drake May lover after the game. I was like, what's the spin? We employ him. What's the party line here? I need to know what we're saying. It's kind of similar to what Hank said. This is Josh McDaniel's fault.

Terrible. Terrible game plan. Terrible. Yeah. Drake May lover last night after said, blitz me. I don't care. And just just like give me everything. Stuff. Yeah. Hey, you tweeted after complete disaster. We might be in for a long season. It's week one.

Like, obviously, you get pumped up for. But like, when you look at the schedule, like,

that's the Seahawks. That's the, that you're playing in Seattle banner night. The, the best defense in the league. You had to expect that it was going to be a very tough game. If you were looking at my personal brain win probability chart, it was under 50% to start the game. Sand Island went

“out and it went up to like 90%. You have to say true lock. I didn't believe in true lock through some”

darts. True lock is the rare backup quarterback that is a true gunslinger. You get like long-term backup quarterbacks that are more of the game manager type. And they stick around a long time and and they they coast and and God bless them. There's a reason why most backups kind of fit that role. True lock is the rare guy that will go in and he'll he'll put a few balls up to be intercepted.

But he'll he'll throw the fuck out of a couple of corner flags. Yeah. Like, I love true lock for that

because when you see a backup quarterback come in and they just take check downs and they're really safe. It can drive you insane. It's funny that true lock is on the Seahawks because it's actually a bad pairing. Yeah. Like the one thing like if you don't make mistakes with that Seahawks defense, you're going to probably win. He didn't make mistakes. So I guess that's credit to Drew Lock. I mean he had a couple balls that probably could have been picked off. Yeah. But that's what

you're going to get with true lock. But that's it. It takes some shots. That's it. Like the Seahawks defense is so dominant that it's like just don't give don't give the other team shortfields with bad turnovers and they'll keep you in the game and give you a chance. Yeah. So the the Sam Dahlon situation not great. I guess it could have been a lot worse. People were thinking maybe it was a broken hip. It doesn't look like it was broken. He's getting all the tests done.

You got to be careful with Sam Dahlon. I would say like you don't need to rush them back. They've got a brutal schedule picking up in the second half in October. So get him 100% then bring him back and Hank, you know what? I got you. I got you back. I'm going to binge this loss for you. We agree. I got you. All right. That's the. Thanks. I got you. Yeah. You're welcome. It's huge. Yeah. Good guy. Hank, what was going through your head when Drake May was throwing picks in the fourth

quarter while Stu finally was sitting next to you watching promos of himself. I had to plug my ears like for the last like probably 10 minutes because Stu was just not even watching the game talking about God knows what. The game was falling apart. Yeah. He was saying he was going on

“a riff about how Drake May has half a man's tongue. Yeah. I think he's got a normal tongue.”

Yeah. I think it was a bad angle on the tongue. Yeah. But that's never going to get out of my head.

No. I'm always going to be like yeah. I can't win with half a man's tongue. Tiny tongue. How are you going to do that? I can't do it. All right. So are you feeling better today? No. Oh. Worst? Yeah. Oh. Why? AJ Brown. So AJ Brown's out for what at least four weeks? Four to six. High ankle spring. That was tough. Romeo dobs. Brawl drop was nowhere to be found really all game. Again, that might have more to do with McDaniels, but he had a wide open catch

first down. Just drop it. Yeah. What do you think about? What do you think Eagles fans are thinking watching AJ Brown? Do we know any Eagles fans? Yeah. Let's get on the phone with one. Okay. Two small of a sample size. I mean, he had 27 yards in the first half. But yeah. It's only half a football. Do you think now you know AJ a lot better than Hank does that the under throw on the fleet flicker was her red. Okay. So when I what do you think AJ was thinking

“before before he got hurt? Too early to sell. I think that I don't think that's what you're saying”

last night. I didn't say anything last night. To the under throw. I don't want to hear. I don't want to hear. No, I saw Nate Tyson. I mean, he's friend of the program. Guess the show. We're current guest. He did. And I Nate Tyson's one of those guys that everything he says. I'm like, he just made me smarter about football. He didn't. He wasn't excusing the under throw. But he said a flee flicker like that is so dependent on perfect timing. And it looked like Remandre Stevenson pitched it late

to drink, so all the timing was off. Yeah. I mean, I just tell you what he said. He I'm just telling you what he said. That sounds like an excuse. Okay. Okay. Okay. We won't make it. All right. Hey. I didn't say. You got it. Yeah. I got good thing. I didn't make the excuse. I think he tasted it. I think you got to hit that guy. But the pitch back was late. Nate Tyson made that excuse. Take it up with Nate Tyson. It's gonna be like, why would he be

people tagging him be like, they fucking named checked you. Every week we're gonna have him back on this year. Every now and again, we get reminded. You know, we've had a I think a pretty successful podcast the last 10 years. We like to think that we're, you know, we know we're doing, but we get one that we're not, we're not on the Mount Rushmore. And last night that hit me right between the eyes. Skipalists tweet out Drake maybe. Yeah. And I was like, God damn.

Like, that he stole that from cousin Sal actually. No, no, skip did that all the way back and Drake

a big battle on the internet. I did look deeper into that than I'm then I'm proud to say. And it

“does appear that skipalist was first. I think it came up with it independently. That would be very”

funny if that was a like mist type and autocorrect. Yeah. But Drake fuck I got to go with it. Drake maybe is just just a banger of a nickname. Unfortunately. What do you think Hank? Skip. Yeah. Skip. Do you respect skip? I respect skip. Yeah. He's good at what he does. True. The the Mint's health article that came out. I thought was actually pretty cool. Drake made does seem like a good guy. He drinks what like five pinnacle out as a year. Yeah. That. So

he yeah. Five pinnacle out as a dozen drink beer doesn't drink alcohol. I as much as you want to like be like what a loser is an NFL starting quarterback. And I think if you told anyone in the world like hey don't drink any beer you'd be in an NFL. No, obviously that's not why he's in an NFL starting quarterback, but he's clearly doing something right there. Yeah, so it's because

his daddy like he grew up and he's like never really saw his dad drank his older brother doesn't drink.

So he's like yeah, I was just following you know. Yeah. My role models. And shout out peanut clout. I was saying I'm a I'm a dackery guy, but getting getting like pool or beach drunk on just dackery's or peanut clout is is a top two experience. Can't do it every day. I do it maybe once a year but it is a great. I did it at Max's Bachelor party. Just got fucked up on some short rate dackeries. Yeah. You get the mix. You get the Miami Vice going. Yeah. That's just being like,

you know what? I'm going to have five of these while I'm at the pool. It's just and then I'm going to get out of the pool. I'm not going to be a wall. It's the worst, the worst hangover too. Yeah. Oh, terrible. But in the moment, the best spot. Yeah. Have a really good time drinking. You're

basically drinking candy. And you can't be upset if you've got a pinnacle out of glass that's

got like maybe the orange slice on it and the garnish, like you can't be upset with drinking. That is a good time. So yeah, I got no problem with him not drinking alcohol. It has worked out really well for him. But I would like my quarterback to have a thirst for champagne. That's the difference. Maybe add that to the repertoire. Hank, prediction on the, by the way, we should have mentioned this. We did a group bet before the season where we took all of our teams wind total over

“us. We adjusted some of them. So I think it ended up I'll pull it up. It's it's all of our teams”

plus the charges for shame. And it's a group bet that we're going to split. I think we put, we put a decent amount on it with draft Kings. It was, let's see, bears over seven and a half. So we, we, we we toggle the couple of them down. Bears over seven and a half. Chargers over eight and a half, bucks over six and a half. Commanders over six and a half. Patriots over eight and a half. Eagles over eight and a half. Jets over four and a half. We thought it would be a fun thing. We're

going to get a big board, track it. Someone is probably going to screw the bet for everyone else. Hank, you immediately afterwards were wrote in the group chat like this bet like this things. You're like, that was, that, it's over. What was the exact thing you said? This bet is dead. This bet is dead. Yeah. It's not dead. What do you think the Patriots record is going to be? I don't know. Why are you this down about it? Did you watch the game? What the

fuck they're talking about? See, Hawks are Super Bowl champions. Okay. That's just a fact. And bonus point for that fact. Good stack. I think it's fair to be like, I did not you walk away from that gaming. Like, yeah, we can win 10 games. Well, you're talking about the C-Ox every week. I think the bigger question be what? It's C-Ox with Drew Locke. It's C-Ox with Drew. But the defense I'm saying, you're saying that like Drew Locke is a

pilot shit. You just see it. Yeah. That wasn't the C-Ox with one. It's the C-Ox with Drew Locke. Do you have any existential questions right now about Drake made because it was no? The playoffs weren't great and then playoffs were growing into the Super Bowl. No, but his play I'm saying. I can read back the stat of his last five games if you want. I'm good. He's already dead. I don't have to answer your question. No. Okay. Joshua Daniels. What I was going to try to come around to

“is like, I don't think you should. The C-Ox don't incredible defense. I know. Yeah. So don't be so”

down. Great. Max is being kind of, I mean, I'm not down on Drake, man. The team, like I again, like I don't. No, it's week one. Week one is the week one. But I mean, the C-Ox, that's a terrible loss. It's a terrible. Yeah. Yeah. Three or so. Like, but you're, you keep saying like, you keep, yeah, you keep saying, oh, to C-Ox, C-Ox. You're winning the game against Drew Locke. Let Drew Locke come back when that football game. Terrible loss. Week one is really what you should be saying right now. Right.

Not C-Ox, C-Ox. Well, you're so fucking annoying. It's like, ooh, it looks like fast forward, uh, preview for like 10 minutes like we're going to knock an over record. We're totally going to knock a record. Yeah, it's like, no, just, yeah, it says week one. It's awesome. Very much. You just, you just agreed. What did you say? No. But like,

react. And then it's like, I'm over acting. You guys look, well, like, what, uh, how could you just

over react? It's like, you guys are going to do the same thing. Yeah, yeah, not if that way for sure. But this is, this is your friend's telling you not to over. Yeah. We're trying to be good friends. Yeah. Okay. Thanks, guys. So we're saying. You're welcome. This is why you're in that seat. You're over. Yeah. Why have it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's the work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The world doesn't need to have an opinion on your favorite team. Yeah. After week one. Yeah. I'm ready to just watch more football this weekend.

And then, and then we'll worry about this. Remember the Vikings pairs game Monday night last year. I was fucking down in the dumps. Yeah. Question for him. Yeah. 50. Uh, Henry, oh, you're a fucking dead name. Henry, uh, next week he gives the Steelers. Is that a must win game? No. Okay. Okay. Start off

on to. If you lose that is Jaguars. That Jaguars of us win game. Yeah. Okay. There's some bad

“stats to like you don't want to have them. I think Steelers is must win. Hey, uh, October 18th.”

There's 12 o'clock noon game. Jessica Patriots. Is that a must win game? Yep. That's a got to be a must win. Yeah. We're on the out. We need nine. It's time to lock in. All right. The other game, the 49ers. I mean, we, not, we are not smart people. No one's listening to the show for, uh, football acumen, but sometimes we are smart and repeatedly saying it makes no sense what the rams are planning on doing, flying in the day before. And the four

nars have been there for a week and a half turns out to be exactly correct because the rams looked awful. Super team, they looked so bad. Pooper team. Pooper team. Stafford looked off and credit to the niders. The niders like their blocking scheme was was awesome to to deal with the rams front. They, uh, Brock party. He had one doi doi play, but other than that, like he looked like great Brock party where he was, you know, extending plays in the pocket, making, you know,

big time throws the touchdown pass to to Marcus Robinson. Yeah, the niders are, the niders are good team. Like, I don't know, we probably didn't give them enough, uh, love going into the season just because they time and time and again, they have the top end talent. It's like, can they say help? They had a couple more injuries tonight, struggling. I think is out, uh, that looked like an Achilles, but super team. Super team off to a bad start turns out. Maybe you shouldn't try to beat

“time. So here, here's the thing, um, it was a terrible idea that Sean McVay tried to do. Uh-huh.”

But I, I have to respect how much of an all-time fucking move it was. Yeah, to just pretend that time zones don't exist. Correct. He was just like, you know what, fuck it. We're not going to, we're not going to adapt. We're going to fly in, fly out, fuck it. Not, not only to pretend that time zones don't exist, but to pretend that a 15 hour flight has no effect on a body, no effect, whatsoever. Like, I take a three hour flight and I'm, I'm like, I feel like shit. They 15 hour flight

and you play a football game less than a day and a half later. 15 hour flight with no Wi-Fi. Is that true? There's no Wi-Fi on that jet. Yeah. Do they do that on purpose, so people would sleep? I think that you had to do a trade-off and the jet that they got is like the most comfortable that they had all the way flat ones. But that particular model of plane does not have Wi-Fi. Also, I have a question, because I know lathe flat, like, I'm a larger man, but I'm not an NFL football player.

I barely fit in the lathe flats. How did any of these guys fit in the lathe? Like, how did an

“offensive lineman fit in the lathe flat? Maybe just like a blow-up mattress that you put in the aisle?”

Yeah, I guess. I don't know. But yeah, that's a fair point because, I mean, I got to be honest, the lathe flats, I fit perfectly. Yeah, that's like a snug as above. 100% like a glove. Yeah, no. When I do the lathe flat, it's like either my head is touching the wall or my feet or like, you know, bed. Yeah, I can't do both. I can't imagine that Matt Stafford who had to like sleep in a medbed outside the rims facility and training camp last year. Yeah, he could have loved that.

He probably didn't, the old back probably didn't enjoy that. But yeah, terrible idea by Sean McPhay, we knew it because I guess we're not that stupid where we can figure out, yeah, you probably should try to act with me a little bit. That said, I think it's going to be better for them on the back end than it is for the Niners who right now will have to fly back and then get reaclimated to United States time. Yeah, I don't think the Rams are going to have to do that. So yeah,

you kind of like trade one for the other, but this was, it was kind of a no doubt or the Niners

looked much, much better. Their run game is always going to be awesome. It was awesome. And the,

the dump offs to McAfrey, the short passing game was great. Debo looked fast as shit. He did physical. It was great seeing Kittle out there. Yes. That first hit that he took. You could see like some relief when he got hit the first time. He bounced back up. He was like, okay, I'm back in and out. Yeah.

him to death. But he, it's crazy. He tore his Achilles and he missed four quarters of football.

“He tore his Achilles in January. He missed one game. Yeah, because he, he won game. He missed the”

game against the seawks. Yeah. It's fucking nuts. You give the substation to credit. Yeah. Maybe it's not all that. He's just an absolute beast. But yeah, there was a couple of injuries in this game in Australia tonight. And there's got to be no worse feeling in the world than having to fly back 15 hours with like a torn Achilles. Shoot me like a horse. That would be like I'm not coming back. Boys aren't coming back. Unless they give you like you get the good stuff before you get on playing.

Yeah. Then you fall asleep. But still, they, they usually don't let you fly if you've got like a, uh, recently broken bone. Right. If you're swelling up, they won't let you do it. Now, so that's got it. That's by far the worst flight home. I would say would be Landman who looked like he, he fucked up his forearm. Yeah. I got a question for you, PFT. Are we going to if the 49ers lose week two in the Rams win? And we're going to say the Rams maybe got it right

because that was part of it. Yeah. That it's going to be hard for the 49ers to adjust back the

Rams. We'll be able to get right back in there because they never changed time zones. The Rams,

“or the 49ers also do get to play the dolphins. And then I think the Rams have the cardinals.”

They have the giants. The 49ers have dolphins and cardinals. So the 49ers could, should be a 3-0 team. They could be. I think it's really going to fuck with them going back. But they have, but they have some time. They got a little bit time to maybe more times to play the dolphins. I think that's, that's probably more likely what this case was. And that's Sean McFey saying, one game. I'm not, this is one game. It's, it's a stupid expansion thing.

But it's not, it's, it's one game, but it's a divisional game. It does count. Pretty fucking important. It does count. So especially when you have a division that, you know, last year came down to all three teams were in it until the last two weeks of the season, right? Right. That's not, a divisional game isn't nothing. I don't think that staff would look great tonight. In fact, I think he looked bad for most of the game. Yeah. I am willing to chalk a lot of that up to the

$15 on a plane. Yeah. Yeah. But super team, that status, my ass. Super team, my ass. Maybe on hold a little bit. Miles Garrett, absent this game. I don't think he even played much of the

second half at all. Yeah. Kilometer's Garrett as they call him in Australia.

Eraddon, smartest guy ever. Yep. Coming back. There was a guy on the Niners that got cut after he made it to Australia. Or he just maybe moved to the next squad. Okay. Yeah. But that, that's fine because the Niners were there for so long. Like I saw guys in tracksuits on the Niners sideline at first. I was like, why the fuck are they there? And then I remembered, oh, they've been there for a week and a half. Rams, that would be devastating. That'd be pretty bad. Yeah.

Yeah. They should have actually brought like the, if the Rams were smart, they should have brought a coach. They were planning on fire anyway. That would have rocked and just been like, you know, leave them over there. I also would like to talk to you because like Shreger, I think said this, the Rams sent a couple scouts over the summer to like test run this. I've got the, uh, the exact quote right here. I would like to talk to these people two years. Yeah. He said, uh,

two years. This isn't some trial and error approach. They've sent 15 staffers over the last two years. They've tracked their bodies and sleep rhythms. That's, that's an insane planet. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah. You think we're not thinking. Oh, God, I couldn't even get the P word out of my mouth. Punishment. You wouldn't do that. I mean, if we all agreed to,

“so what would it be? You have to fly the hospital here. We get to trade there for one day to the Rams trip.”

Do the Rams trip. No Wi-Fi in the plan. Oh, I think we'd have to do Wi-Fi in the plan. So we have

to like update. I don't know. What do we, or first? They left Tuesday. They left Tuesday and they,

they're getting back when I don't know. Like, I'm thinking about episodes. Although it would be funny if you had to do the episode from Australia or from Australia for most the one day you were in Australia. Yeah. I mean, no, we leave there. It would be leave Thursday. Come back Sunday. Yeah. I, I do leave so there's, I don't know how, let's not get into the eye. We can't do that right now. I let's put it on the table and we can discuss later. I think that it was also, I, I felt like I was

feeling some of the Rams pain because we watched it night here and that game was so goddamn bright. Yeah. That was a brightest sun that I've seen and NFL gave me the long time. I felt like I got jet lag just from watching the game. Yeah. It was weird. It was also, I saw 57 degrees. Like, man, that's, that's, that's good. That's good shit. We're going to about to have that. Yeah. Life's fall day. Do we have to have concerts at, at every standalone game now?

It was bigger and then I liked it. The, the people in the stands were wearing like,

“they all gotten to the shape of American flag for a little bit. Yeah. And also that stadium was just”

the worst stadium ever for football. Yeah. You were so far away. So far away. Yeah. The cricket ground.

Yeah. If you're, if you're in the first level, you're just can't see anything. So good job, Roger.

Thanks so much. We grew to the game today a little bit. Yeah. We did seven seven the biggest game in NFL history. What? Seven for those people in attendance. Oh, wow. Okay. Let's go. We did it. Now, if you're going to have a game in Australia, I feel like this is this was the opportunity for ACDC to play half time. Mm-hmm. Great. History made. Football's backboys. 100,000 people. Before we get into our week, one picks and pretty good. We're going to go through

every game. Barry Melrose. We should mention Legend of the game past the way. Very sad. He was the face of hockey. Like, yeah. During, during, during a long time. Just, the swagiest coolest guy you see on TV seemed like everyone, you know, the stories that come out. He seemed like the best guy. There were years where ESPN had had no business or broadcasting interest in hockey whatsoever. Yeah. And they would still bring Barry on to talk a little pub because he was

that captivating. Seems like a great guy. Never got a chance to meet him. But yeah. Mount Rushmore

of TV Mullets for sure. Absolutely. And yeah, just an all-time hockey guy. So it's very sad. I feel like he was, he was hockey to a lot of people growing up in the United States. I didn't necessarily

“come from a hockey town. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Should we get to our week, week one picks and preview?”

And then we have Scott Hansen. Let's do it. Let's do it. Okay. Before we get to picks and preview for week one, draft Kings, the way it is over footballs here.

Thank you so much. These are like these are the perfect candy snack everything right here. In this in this sleeve right here. Reces in Oreos. It's so, so good. When they decided to do this,

“I actually like I actually was bummed when they made it because it's like what else is there in life?”

This is it. This is a pinnacle. They reach the pinnacle with the Reese's Oreos combo. But Reese is the one-one pick for everyone's about Rushmore. We're doing picks in preview. It's our one-one pick for week one. We're going to have Reese's everywhere. It is a Seattle Seahawks of candy. That's fat. Great offense. Great defense. Yeah. And you know what? Even if you can't get that the Reese's Oreo, the backup's not bad either. Yes. That's to go with the regular. Yes. So,

Reese's the official candy partner, barceral sports. Go get Reese's wherever you shop. All right, boys. It is week one in the NFL. We're going to have a full slate on Sunday. I'm so excited. How is everyone feeling? We're going to go. So, we're going to go through every game. We're going to do our picks. We'll have to figure out a punishment. Two picks each. How's everyone feeling? I'm feeling really good. It's the best time of year. This is bar none.

The best time of year. Everything's possible. Everything's on the table. You have the highest expectations

teams could go undefeated. Not your max. We can't pay time. You could tie. Yeah. True. Good point.

“Yeah. You could tie. Checkmate. You get a point for a tie. I think Jake Marsh actually had his”

tie. Oh. Okay. Yeah. Max, honestly, I'll offer you a draw. Yeah. I will not take that. By the way, PFT, thank you for the gift you got me. You're welcome. I will be wearing it on Sunday. You're welcome. I went. I was, I mentioned this before, but sometimes early in the morning, if you catch me, if somebody sends me a product or someone comes across like, a targeted ad, if it's before I get out of bed, I am extremely impulsive. My purchases early in the morning.

So I got you the Caleb and Ben Johnson T-shirt and then I got Hank, the Patriot Stone Cold Steve Austin. Yeah. Yeah. The Caleb and Ben Johnson, by the way, is like a weird mashup where it's Ben Johnson giving the finger. So I think that's the dick of finger, but then Caleb smoking a cigarette, which is the cutler cigarette. Yeah. Yeah. It's all over the corner. It's just like this little, it's almost like a Taylor Swift song where there's Easter eggs to bear's past. Yeah. It's

it's all over the place. So, you know, just a little something to get the boys back into the NFL spirit. I'm very much looking forward to on Sunday morning that the text, hopefully we get it again

from from boom. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That'd be in Becacet, which is just basically wishing us a happy

NFL season. Yeah. And that's, that's one of the highlights of my year. But I'm, I'm so excited. I'm so excited. We got, we got to figure out the, the, the TV will get, we're going to go through every game where, where the games are going to be. Should we give ourselves a little warning? And I'm not going to listen to my own warning, but don't over react to week one. I don't agree to that. Yeah. No, I don't either. I'm just telling me as right now we're sitting here. It's Thursday

morning comes Sunday night when we're recording the show. I will absolutely over react. But if, if anyone wants to like, you know, he, he, he'd my advice from past me. Don't over react. I was looking at it last year. Week one. We had the Patriots loose to the Raiders. The Raiders went on to be the worst team of the league. Yeah. And the Patriots went to the Super Bowl. Maybe that'll happen to the Seahawks this year. And then the Patriots go right back. Yeah. Don't over react. How about,

do you guys remember there was a shootout in the metal lands? The Jets and the Steelers played in a shootout. And we thought, oh my god, 3432. That was one of the most exciting games we watch. Week one, we're like Justin Fields Aaron Rogers. This is going to be, these teams are going to be awesome to watch. Yeah. That didn't turn out to be the case. It was a sliding doors moment. That was a, it means could have had an awesome season last year if they won that game. Yeah. And then on that

Monday night game week one. So this is why I'm really bringing up because it's, it's a message to myself. Jason McCarthy beat Kill Williams and it looked like Jason McCarthy was going to be the

Vikings future. And now he's QB3 for the Vikings correction. JJ McCarthy lost the first three

quarters against the Bears 9 beat the Bears in the fourth quarter. But the point is week one, there will be some weird shit that happens week one. We'll look back and be like, wow, that was, that was fucking bizarre. If you were to draw it up on a map, how would you plan out where

“your team would play in week one? Because I think, I think the correct answer is right down the”

dick of Sunday 12 o'clock one. Oh, I got it. Yeah. But the Bears have it this year. Yeah. Bears at Panthers. Yeah. Noon game. Yeah. Just buried and couldn't ask for a better nestled in there. It's kind of like spot. You're an cozy spot. It's like a nice warm blanket of all the other games wrapped around. Like in terms of the national audience, the bears are somewhere between like the third and fifth most exciting game and that's in that window. I would not want to be so perfect.

I would not want to be first. I wouldn't want to be, I wouldn't want to be first. I want to be last.

Yeah. You don't want the money night game. That's that's tough, too. You also don't want like the bills and Texans that new game like they're they are the premier new game. Yep. You don't want to be game of the week. I don't think you want to be Sunday night either because then you're surrounded by a bunch of people that have just won potentially and then now all eyes on you. And the story is you. Yeah. The story is you at that point for an entire Monday. I think I think game of the week

Sunday afternoon. Not great. Not a great spot to be, but it could be worse. Yeah.

“Not great. I think you want to know. You want to know to get to team that you have no like you.”

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly how you have made it. Like enough to get like a little bit excited because like you know the Panthers were in the playoff last year. Yeah. Kind of like I'm worried about this game. I think the Panthers are going to be like a decent team. I'm not saying that the Panthers are going to win this game, but it's not I don't know any Panthers fans in my life. I don't like there's no. There's not an division. Not division. Now, Max. Now, Max. That's true.

And the guy who sings who's fucking awesome. If I had him. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That guy was yeah. Stuff curry. Yep. That's basketball player ever from Macron. That is true. I actually did meet him. Remember at Tahoe when Marty Fisher was like, hey, this is big cat and he's like, oh, what's up and then you just walked away. Yeah. So I do know stuff curry in your friend. You're

I have each team's week one records since 2000. Do you guys want to guess who's number one

“and who's dead last? Best week one team in the NFL. I could maybe make a better guess if it was”

since 2020. But I'll just go with those same teams that I would have guessed in the last six or so years. I'll say the fluffy Eagles. They are number one. All right. 18 and eight. Let's go, Max. Ring of Patriots or 17 and nine. I actually don't know if it's been updated since last night. So they might be 17 and 10. Okay. All right. Good to know. And then. Oh, that's right. They lost. Yeah. For the worst. This one should be in week one. I'm going to guess the Bengals. No. The Cleveland Browns.

Oh. Three and 22 and one. Fucking joke. This crazy joke of a city. The three times in week one since 2000. That's crazy. And they keep going. But I got blessing. I love Browns fans. By the way, we should give a little context here. Hank is a little extra salty. We obviously already talked about the Patriots game, but he did text this morning. Being like, I'm injured. I'm not coming in because the Patriots lost. And my assistant Dom, who is a die hard Cleveland,

“all Ohio Cleveland Sports fan, replied, which is very uncharacteristic of him, replied to the entire group”

chat text with the rock gifts saying shut up bitch. Yeah. Very out of character for no reason. You know, just talk it there. But I don't think that there's been a more liked message in the group. So I was right. I like instantly everybody just slammed it. I've Dom has been feeling himself a little bit recently. Well, it's because they haven't the Browns haven't had to write a game yet. That's it. It's got a Brown. This is last week. Oh, I saw him. He went up to Max the other day. And he he braided

Max. He told Max to lock in because Max didn't know the sexer's preseason schedule. He was like, if you're going to take, if I'm giving you the Brown, if you're now in the bottom, and he's yours, I need you to take better care of him and to know the preseason schedule, Max. He was really mad.

He was like, that's going to be the first time. And he's right. Take care of right. Take care of his boy.

It's going to be the first time you see LeBron in a sixures uniform. You got to be locked in on the preseason. Yeah. Oh, man. I didn't say whatever. Yeah. So shut up bitch. Shut up bitch. Yeah. Listen. I mean, I like this is also yesterday. And it felt opening day. He was yelling at me for not knowing NBA preseason fired up. Yeah. And it felt opening day. Until the Browns play, they're they're like, they're going to be what three, they're at least third to last place. The problem that you have Max

and this is, this is mostly my fault. I told, I told Dom, like six months ago, I said, do not talk to me about LeBron. So he's got to talk to someone else about him. So he's just, I know I'm has like, do not talk. I'm happy to have that. I was like, we're not a LeBron show. I don't know that he's now either. He's like an over-envolved ex. Yeah. That's like, Jess, making sure that you know how she likes, you know, she likes her baths not too hot, but kind of hot. He's an easy and bubbles. He's a helicopter

mom trying to go out for like a dinner and tell him the babysitter like, oh, no, no, don't do that. Like, she's like crazy. She likes her feet rub before bad Max. If you can, you know, take care of my girl. Oh, do not let do not let him eat that pirate's booty. I didn't look at the back. I need to

know these things, though. Okay. Let's do the games. First up, I think this will be a prominently

displayed game because it's one of the best. You guys agree Bill's Texans is going to be the main TV. Yeah. But this one's going to be a fun game. Uh, template, Bucknears at Cincinnati Bengals, Bengals are minus three and a half over under 50 and a half. Baker may feel got paid. Is that good or bad? Because obviously it's good. We're, we're a baker show. We're happy you got paid. I'm just saying is a good or bad because now he might not have the same chip on his shoulder.

I don't think that that's going to be a factor for Baker. I don't think they could have. You know what it is. They did a secret extension. I know. So they were working on behind the scenes. Baker didn't know about it. His agent like kind of kept it from a little bit. I don't know why that, that all went

“down that way. But I think that since there was a secret extension, Baker just might be like,”

oh, you didn't think I could handle knowing how the negotiation we're going to go. Yeah. And sometimes agents will do this in the NFL. They don't want to over inform the players about how it's going because some of the offers might be, it might not feel good to hear what the, the lowball offers are. That's beginning until you get to the final number. So Baker's like, what am I a child? You don't think I could handle knowing what was going on back and forth. You're the adults are talking.

Yeah. So now Baker might be just pissed off at his agent. And at the at the bucks for not having them, that's what. And again, this is just Baker trying to find something to be pissed off. You got to find something. Got to find something. But yeah, I think if you look at these two teams, recent history bangles, very slow starters. But they started to an old last year. Yep.

narrative now because I, the fact they started to an old last year, the fact that they played their starters, at least somewhat in the preseason, which they hadn't been doing. And that was part of the part of Joe Burrough story. So, and also, Joe Burroughs just been injured so many times that

“I think this is the first time he's had an offseason where he didn't have to deal with something.”

Remember he had the foot? He talked about he's like, I'm going to use my legs again. Like,

I feel 100%. That has to count for something the fact that he's finally had a clean offseason,

not an offseason of rehabbing, getting ready. Everything that goes into it had a full camp. He had a full camp going. Zach, how are you feeling about this game? I feel good about the game. Baker has pumped up in the press conference yesterday, excited to stay with the team. So, I'm not too worried about him getting paid leading to like a low in the season. A lot of guys are healthy, ready to field. I feel good about the game.

I was high and I am high on Joe Burrough this season. But I would like to see Timmy Buccaneer's obviously defeat him. Yeah, I'm not saying I'm going to bet the Bengals because I think three and half is probably too much, but I'm just, I expect the Bengals to come out to start the season better than they have. And again, they started to know last year. It was a close win against the

“Browns. Remember that weird Jaguar's game? I just, I think they put a lot of focus on it.”

And it does feel like one of those years where it's like, everyone's kind of everything's on the table for the Bengals. Like they, yeah, if things don't go well, it's Joe Burrough going to stay. I know he said that he wants to stay is, you know, T-higgins, Zack Taylor, all this stuff. Mm-hmm. So, if you look at the Bengals, they do have that recent history. And if you look at the, uh, the point total, I believe they're one in five, uh, to the over, so I guess that'd be

five and one to the under, uh, in week ones recently. And they are, uh, one in five against the spread. Mm-hmm. See, it's open. So, a lot of that does have to do the fact of injuries. Yeah. And just there are notoriously, yeah, there's a sort of stuff that they've been getting off to. And then the bucks, I'm sure you've heard Steven Chase say this, but Todd Bulls, four no, week one as a head coach. They've won, uh, they've won five consecutive, so I even goes back to Bruce Aries. But yes, he has said

that to me very, uh, a ton of talk. Very much. Yeah, very much. The one thing I am looking at, like the total of this game, it feels like it's too early in the season to have that high of a total. I agree. Uh, but I am also nervous. I, I do think both of these defenses are going to be like we saw the end of last year of the bucks defense kind of fell off a cliff. I think they're going to be better. And the Bengals defense got better at the end of the year. And they added

extra Lawrence. I think that's going to be better than people realize. Because I think that's, you know,

the, you can always just say all the Bengals defense sucks. I think that's kind of an

a slightly dated narrative. I expect them to be more middle of the pack, uh, defense this year. Yeah. How is Ruben Bane feeling right now? Probably good. Because that's a guy. I, if I were to pick like a defensive rookie of the year, I think I'm looking at Bane right now. And that might also just be coped because I really don't want the cowboys to have found the safety of the future. But, uh, Bane, I feel like is just a monster waiting to play. Yeah. I agree. I agree. All right. So, uh, we, we can

say that. Ruben Bane's ready to inflict pain. Yeah. You said that ready for pain and say that, but I, in the clips, I can see it in those mannerisms. Good. Yeah. Good. You can see it. Also, David Bailey exists. Yeah. I knew I saw you memes talking with the mic, not on being like, yeah. What about David Bailey? Well, our well-rease. Well, I did, I did, I saw a headline on, uh, on Joe box fan that just said Ruben Bane wants to create a new level of football. Oh,

she said that's terrifying. That's fucking terrible. I'm, I'm kind of happy with the current level of football we have right now. But if it's created like Ruben Bane, it's probably going to be violent so suddenly. Yeah. It's wearing the Bane face mask so we could turn to a villain.

“Yeah. A new level of football will be awesome. That's what they said about Travis Hunter too,”

right? Like he's going to change the entire sport. Yeah. Hank, is the, are the box part of your hungry dog? Nope. What are you doing? Just kidding. Ready? Let's prep. I'm doing the hungry dog, as we say. Oh, I love it. All right. We let us know as soon as you have it. Yeah. Okay. Next up, Saints at Lions Lions minus seven over under 49 and a half. I was thinking about this. This is one of those weird matchups. I don't have any memories of the Saints playing at the

Lions and I looked it up. Yeah. 2020 was the last time they played Saints at Lions. Do you know who's the leading Russia for the Lions was? Because this one shocked me and I had memory hold the whole thing. 2020. It was Stafford versus Drew Breeze. I remember the game 2020 Saints at Lions who is a leading Russia for the Detroit Lions. Adrian Peterson. Yes. Bang. Fucking insane. I just forgot.

I know he jumped around to a million. Oh, there you go. Get the high five. I never got those, right?

Yeah. That was great. I had completely forgotten that he was, because he jumped around to so many teams at the end and also I think he was leading Russia with like 34 yards. So wasn't exactly a memorable performance. But yeah, these teams, I don't have many memories of them playing in Detroit.

It's tied 13 13 and one. Oh, wow. So maybe Grudge Match. Huge Grudge Match of the week. It is also a

Dan Campbell. Not really revenge game, but he used to coach for the Saints. Yeah. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. It's a revenge game. Like games too likeable enough teams.

“I think if you're not in the same division as either one of these. You don't have a problem with either team.”

Or on Game Ball Watch right now for a killing more. So he's probably, what do you say? Like he gives out was it six or seven eight game balls again? Yes. I'm trying to remember the interview we're hanging forward to how many how many game balls he gave away. Well, you don't understand. The Pokemon facility was right there. It was right there. It was right next to us. If you saw the chair. Hey, get in the mix here. What do you got? What do you want? I don't know. We're trying to poke you.

We're trying to get you up. Let us poke it you up. I'm here. It's week one dude. Yeah. I'm excited.

I'm so fucking back. Okay. Uh, Jared Goff. Dom. Yep. He doesn't play a cold weather game until late December 17 in the pairs. I also, I feel like I'm high on the lions this year. Yep. And part of the reason why I'm high on the lions is that like before the season is starting, the biggest quote I could find about this game and like from Lions Camp was Jared Goff talking about his trip to the Detroit Zoo with his daughter. I love that. So that's actually a good place to be in as a team.

He said I was blown away by how many animals they have and how big it is. The tiger was cool right there on the glass, the polar bear, the grizzly bears are massive. I was shocked. Maybe I underestimated the capabilities of Detroit Zoo. Yeah. Don't do that. Wow. I underestimated that suit your own peril. Yeah. I think he just was, had Jared ever been to a zoo before? I don't, I think he, in his, I don't want to disparage Jared. I'm going to text him. I'm going to ask him if he

“ever been to a zoo. But this is, I think it might be flashbacks to you remember 2016 when he,”

he wasn't aware that the sun rose in the east and set in the west on the box. In his mind, I could, I could see him thinking that the only animals they'd have at the Detroit Zoo would be like animals that you would find in nature in Michigan. Yeah. Like, oh, look, they got, they got the black squirrels here. I also will say, Jared Gough is a Cali kid. I feel like they don't, besides San Diego. I feel like Cali kids, they just go out, they go outside. Yeah. They don't go to zoos.

Yeah. No. And also what? What we can say isn't like San Diego. I said besides San Diego. It is the best. I got a lock in. You kind of lock in. But you can't say that you can't say California. Yeah. I have that big issue. I agree. If you're from California, you shouldn't theory know that like, but he's from NorCal. It rocks. Bro. But you can't do. NorCal Bros are so different than so Cal Bros. There's like one zoo that I know when it happens to be in California. Right.

So you can't just like, you know, hey, you don't have to face there. You know, one zoo. You only know

“like one like famous zoo. You know, lots of zoo. I think the Cincinnati zoo because of her”

on bay. Yeah. You know, we're talking like, like mile away. We're, like, they're when he zoos on this podcast. I know people. I'm saying, like, nationally recognize zoo. Bronx zoo. Bronx zoo. How about that? Yeah, songs. Bronx is brilliant. That's local zoo. That's an, that's an, that's an author. Zootopia. That's a movie. Yeah. You know it. That's probably not, that's probably not. Sounds like you know it. Zulander. Oh, good boy. That's also a movie.

Medigascar. That's right. Mark Ho. Mark, zoom off. Six years legend legendary broadcaster. I don't have to. If Jared texted me back, put it that day. I was blown away by how many animals they have and how big it is. Tiger was cool right there in the glass, polar bear,

the grizzly bears are massive. I was shocked. I had his first suit. That's to me. I'd like to see

more NFL teams taking group trips to the zoo. Yeah. Before things get, you can learn a lot from those animals. By the way, last thing on this game, we are obviously latering Tyler shock. Yeah. One hundred percent. I'm sorry. Two the moon. Tyler shock. I'm also, I'm very high on the lines this year. Yeah. I mean, their, their schedule is, they should be a team that's in the playoffs. And I think they probably win the NFC North.

In theory, this is like, and the lines are as healthy as they're going to be all season. Well, and they, they, they were the team, they were the snake bitten team last year. They lost a bunch of games over like, how the fuck did they lose that game? Yeah. I think they're going to be really good. Are the lines on Crosby watch? Oh, interesting. Didn't even think about that. Like, what do, what do they have to do to get, to get Crosby interested and go into the lines?

And I guess it's not really up to him. It was, it had to be the Raiders fighting. Yeah. I don't know what their pick situation is either. How many picks they would be willing to trade? All I'm saying is they're on, I, I think them and maybe the Cowboys might be on Crosby watch. I had a dream last night. This is the Crosby show. Well, it isn't really pathetic to say out loud. I had a dream last night that the bear's traded Tyson pageant for the Seahawks

Honestly, fleece. Let's wrap back. Oh, and next up, Jets at Titans. Titans minus one and a half,

over under 38 and a half, the Roberts Salah revenge game memes. I know he said we weren't going

“to do over reactions. I think this is the base game Aaron Glend's life. Okay. No, that's not an”

over reaction. That's a, it's because it's not a reaction. True. The game hasn't happened yet. Yeah. I think he needs to prove that he can coach better than the guy he replaced. It's a, over, it's a pre-action. Yeah. It's a pre-action. You're over pre-acting right now. And will you think that it's the biggest game of his life if they lose or if they win or both? Both. He needs he needs to win the game. No matter what happens, it's going to be the biggest game of his life.

Yeah, because if they lose, then in all Jets fans had, it's like, we just replace Bob with a guy who's worse than him and Bob's not a good coach. So we just have a bad coach. Yeah. Right. This, this, so losing the locker room potentially. Both of these teams losing the fan box. Yeah. Both of these

teams obviously are not expected to be in the playoffs. You never know what happens in NFL season.

This might be the most important game of week one because there's, there's the level of like there could be a devastating loss here. If one team gets blown out, I do think that, which that's devastating, whichever team loses they might immediately go into tank. Right. Like right off the bat. Because they're both eyeing each other being like, we're not as bad as you. We're not as bad as you. It's going to be a wake-up call for whoever loses this game. Yeah. It's a really, really like,

like you, in a weird way, you would rather start the season playing the Ravens. And it's like, well, we're never going to win that game. We still have a long seat. You play the Titans. It's, it's very similar to Raiders Dolphins. That's a staring match of like, whoever loses that game might you stink, buddy. Yeah. No, season is probably over if you lose to the Titans. Yeah. I think they're thinking the exact same thing about about the Jets. There's only

a handful of teams out there that win their logo pops up on your schedule. You're happy to see those logos. And I think this is two matchups of two teams that are very happy to see each other's logos. And I count myself in that, in that handful of teams as well. But yeah, you can't lose this game.

“It can't lose. And you have to get a pick, too. There's no better chint. No better than you to”

get a pick than against camward. The defense feels good. Like it should be better.

You got it. You set the tone. I always forget that we didn't have an interception last year.

Yeah. Well, no, you don't because you bring it up all the time. Yeah, true. It is the first. I feel like you guys bring it up. No, but he brings it up a lot too. Yeah. It's a crazy style. It literally, when they got the preseason interceptions, like, yeah, we got to intercept it. Yeah, it's fired up. We got a bunch of interceptions. Yeah. If our memes guy was not memes and our memes guy was a fan of a different team,

I think that individual probably being courage to make a lot of stats that said things like this is the first week, one game of a team that intercepted zero passes last year. Like everything they do for the first time this season. That was the first time out by a team that intercepted

“zero passes in 2025. I think that probably happened if it wasn't memes. Yeah, probably.”

I might have some of my drafts that are like that. But the good thing you got going for you memes is the Titans have their new jerseys. And I think like whenever you wear a new jersey, I don't take you as a real football team for a few weeks. You know, like this is a made-up team. But like a maybe sneak-up. What if everything's different in these jerseys? I thought about that. Yeah, true. I took the Jets in my survivor league.

It's ballsy. You like that, memes? I love it. Yeah. The Jets are gonna be good. I kind of like the Jets this week too. I love the Jets this week. I love the Jets this week. Oh man. I don't know. We all love the Jets. I have my most boring stat of the week. Okay. You ready for this? Do you do? No, that's too exciting of a sound. We got to think of a more boring sound for the most boring stat of the week. Okay.

The Tennessee Titans are traveling 18157 miles this year. Whoa. Did you get like a magazine with like the information on the teams traveling this year? No, I literally saw one graphic of travel stats this year. So I actually compared that to last year for the Titans and for the Patriots. We're gonna even more boring. Yeah, no, no. You did this for a lot of teams. No, it was literally these two.

The Tennessee Titans total travel distance in 2025 was 18157 miles. All right. That's crazy. They're traveling the exact same amount of miles. That's why. That's back years. That's why. That's pretty fucking wild. That's why.

Apologize yourself. I'd like to apologize to the listeners for

“underselling just how exciting that stat would be. Play the sound again big cat. Did did it?”

Pretty good stat. Okay. Me, but you're gonna win this game. I think I think there's a top three game of the week. Okay, disagree. I think for you. No, I think for everybody. Just like last year. It's gonna be the same thing. Okay, sell us on it. High scoring. Yep. Both defense is could be bad. Yep. That's pretty much it. Okay. I'm seeing more than more than two games that are better. Name him. Chief Broncos. No. Patrick Holmes watch. Okay. Texan's bills.

Defense defensive game probably like 1310 Fong score. Okay. Box Bengals. Great game. That's the best one. That's one.

Vikings packers. Yeah. Dan out. Another low scoring game. Commander Z Eagles. For the podcast. Great. All right. We're done doing this. All right. Ravens by three and a half at the cult's over under 47 and a half. The Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson is 20 and six against the spread on turf in his career. If you want a stat,

“that's a good stat. I'm I'm high on the Ravens this year. Would you have a brotherly battle going on?”

Did you guys see this? Declan Doyle, new OC for the Baltimore Ravens. His brother, younger brother,

Dylan Doyle, is the cult's defensive quality control coach. And when they asked him about it,

Declan said they haven't talked he hasn't talked to Dylan for a while. See, I love my brother, but it is what it is. That feels a little a little much for a week one game where your brother's not even the defensive coordinator. Yeah. I don't know about that. We haven't talked in a while like we're like, we can't talk. We we we have to end this relationship. Enemies. Yeah. No, you're your defensive quality control. And no relation to Jack Doyle from the cults. I'm assuming. I don't think it's a different Doyle

family. Yes. Yeah. I mean, Lamar Jackson loves playing on turf. He loves playing at the cult as

“well. Yep. It's a good setting for him to run around. Also, I believe with Louis and a rumo defenses,”

Lamar Jackson tends to feast in the past. So I like the cults. I am high on the cults this year. I don't know about week one though. Yeah. If you're like this, I think I might be taking the Ravens in this one. But also, I believe that there is a new, this is our cults that just came out from Seth Deflow, Erskins. Okay. And he's got a very special guest. What do we do? Do we want to listen to it? It literally just came out. He's love it. He's been teasing

it all week. Are you guys ready? Yeah! Oh my god. Okay. I love it. I love it. So that was the y'all's Purdue Varsity Geeklob. Okay. I let those guys get a lot of pussy. We just got done telling you that we like the Ravens in this. I might flip. What? What Max? Did you guys know you could go JV and Glee? Wait. It's JV? Oh yeah. True. True. The implication. Yeah.

Freshman. Those guys actually probably do clean up. I think I play something. I actually didn't play saying like they definitely clean up. At a place like Purdue, it's like Purdue has no everything is the opposite. Yeah, but they might clean up more than the football game. I pretty sure Purdue was like 85% male. You got that for me. It's like 60%. I have maybe made that play out. I made it seem like it's like an all-male college. But I think these guys do.

I think these guys are the cock of a walk. I'm looking at the Glee Club in the background. It's all dudes in the Glee Club. Yeah. Do you know where there's groupies? There might be like a female club. Well, there's what they call it. The Corral. I guess if it's horses, yes. But then they step to the female club. The She Club. Yeah. The Ibahedic Club. Okay. 59%. Yeah. So, yeah, I think 85%. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm glad that we

watched this because I think I'm changing my pick to the, to the goals. Okay. Yeah. Also before we started taping, I did log on to the Cole's website because I was not sure if I had season tickets or not. Oh, sorry. Do not have season tickets. Okay. Good. Good. So, we don't have to give any

macron season tickets. Yeah. I just got macron parking passes in my mailbox. No one comes last week.

Fuck about Akron or wants to go to the football games. Oh, God. Yep. That's more shot. Did you guys see we had, we had our quarter the week. I want to get the quarter the week sound tank. Prent Britain. Whoa. Okay. The parentheses. Okay. Okay. Quarter the week comes. We should have put down the audio book.

“That was, that was a deaf child. Was that like, was that like, was it open parentheses or close parentheses?”

I was, I was opening a clothing. It was like, front to, front to, front to. Okay. All right. Well, open it before he gives quarter the week. This is quarter the week from Rokuan Smith. He said, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense can beat defenses with their run game or go bombs over Baghdad.

Actually, it's not the quarter the week. It's a clarification of the week. Can you give us a sound for that?

Great sound. It's a clarification of the week. So, Rokuan Smith said we could beat defenses with their run game or go bombs over Baghdad. Then he later clarified, he was referencing military history, not outcast lore. So, I don't know, he was actually talking about literal bombs over Baghdad. That was a close one. Yeah. For anyone who's getting confused. He could have been talking about Andre 3000 and not Colin Powell. Yes. So, I, so not great song because he was talking about the

actual. It is a great song. Yeah. But he was talking about the, there's your clarification of the week. I just love that he like it's like just so we're clear guys. The very popular song that would make this

lighthearted and very fun. We're not talking about that. We're talking about death and war.

Yeah. I, I like this from a defensive player. Yeah. Good clarification from a defensive player. If this came from running back offensive linemen, wide receiver, I'd be like, that's kind of fucked up.

“What's going on? Yeah. But the fact that he plays a position he plays, I think it, it's helpful that”

he meant war. Yeah. Yeah. Really, really, really helpful. All right. Before we get some more games. PFT. What type of King's wine real quick? I'd love to talk about your favorite. It's the best. What do you think is the toughest part of football season? It used to be figuring out what to eat on game day. But not this year. Thanks to King's Hawaiian. It's the best slider in football. They have it all from original Hawaiian sweet to savory butter and pretzel sliders. You can literally make

anything on them and you know it's going to be delicious. I personally love the original Hawaiian sweet. They make the best buffalo chicken sliders. And I make the best bacon cheeseburger sliders on their original slider rolls. You crushed about a dozen every Sunday. Hank, they even have a salty version just for you. Awesome. You could make a ham and cheese slider on the pretzel slider buns. That sounds delicious. You're a salty guy. You'd love them. And I love him. I go ham.

Whenever you're craving King's Hawaiian is the best slider in football for a reason. They elevate game day. They're sure to be a crowd pleaser. So before next game day, go pick up King's Hawaiian and make the best slider in football and make it all season long. Okay. You guys ready to get back some more games? It's just so much fun talking ball. Just so excited reading like all this stuff and just getting excited about everything. It's a lot and I'm so happy for it. I'm so happy for us.

I can't wait for the I love this for us. But at moment, it's every year at 1220. When we're in the middle, we got all the games going and we're just going to be overwhelmed by football. We should take a picture. We should take a picture five minutes before and just say, I love this for us. Yeah. Yeah. I'm booked and busy this weekend. All right. Falcons at Steelers Steelers minus three and a half over under is 42 and a half. Toa. Toa. There's some new news coming out about toa. I saw it

was a Florio. It was a Florio. It's a Florio. On the eve of the season opener, Florio takes to the takes in the airwaves and puts out a report that if things don't go well for Toa, even as early as week one, he might get cut. Yep. That is not a good spot for Toa to start the season that

“is under threat of his job before he takes a snap for the Falcons. No. So Toa is it's actually if you want to”

spin zone it. It's like maybe this is a maybe this is good way. It's like almost a Mr. Beast challenge, like be good at quarterback or lose your job. It's kind of fun. Yeah. You know, like like actually lose your job. Not just lose your job playing quarterback, lose your employment status with the Atlanta Falcons. Yeah. It could be motivating. It could be motivating. It could be from what you know about Toa. Do you think that it will be? No. No. No. Toa. Toa. He said that he the expectation

that I put on myself is to go out there and score one more point than the other team. I feel like you could maybe do more than just one more point. Like you know what I mean? Like that. I get it. One

you'll land in the stars. Never made sense because stars are so much faster. I think that's

what what screwed me up. Yeah. You were actually right. Yeah. And screwing that statement up. Right.

“But to a shoot for let's try scoring two more points. Yeah. Then the sealer. Right. That's what”

saying. If you're wrong by 50% guess what? You still win. Yeah. He also said that I don't have anything to prove to anyone on the outside. You actually do. Yeah. Definitely have a lot to prove. So all of us probably every other team. Yeah. But then again to a big update. You got paid and he had two and on for a long time. Yeah. I do think Kevin Safansky from his quotes. I think we're going to see a lot of run game. I'm excited to see him unleash Pijon. And it's going to be like

I said I'm not high on the Falcons this year. I'm high on Kevin Safansky as a coach. I'm high on the Falcons like some of the talent they have going forward. It's just I don't know what the quarterback situation is going to look like. Yeah. It kind of strikes me almost like their quarterback situation going into the season is what we found out about the Michigan quarterback situation after right week one right where it's the fanski is like putting this out there and

too has no idea that his his job might even be in jeopardy right now. I'm very excited to see what the sealer's office looks like. Yeah. And it's a very low bar for you to convince me that it's different from yours past. All it takes is really just one play. Yeah. If they have one play like a deep cross across the middle and Aaron Rodgers hits DK in stride. I'll just think it's a completely

new team and they might be an explosive offense this year. Yeah. Great. Now if it starts out the first

past that he throws is a like a dump-off on third down to Jalen Warren. At that point I'm just going to book it and say this is the same stealers I've seen. Yeah. A dump-off with six falcons just waiting to tackle it's that will bother me and I hope Jersey Jerry will agree with us when we say hey that's bad. Yeah. No he'll be the first person to say it. I also think Aaron Rodgers like some of his quotes,

“I think this actually might be the end. He said something like it was something about how it's more”

than just football and winning games. Who's going to be there at your whole fame? Sir Marty, who's going to carry your casket? The relationships? Yeah. I don't know that's a good or bad quote when you're going into a season. He's kind of he's like kind of sentimental about his football career before he plays a season. Who is he saying is he going to carry his casket on the stealers? I don't know. He said yeah I don't know if it's stealers or somewhere else maybe it's Mike McCarthy. If you

just get out out of this the money and the accolade you're missing the main point of this whole thing football and that's the relationship. Who's carrying your casket? Who's at your whole fame? I mean I would want Mike McCarthy to use my casket as a motivational tool. Like smash a casket to get the boys pumped up with a sledgehammer before the game. Also, can I say right now I apply? Okay. I'll carry his casket. You would be the guys from Uganda. I'll do it dancing with it.

Now, there you mean Rodgers. We're good now. It feels like years ago that he was on the package. Doesn't it? It does. It's been. It's like it does feel like a long time even though it's been only what four or five years. It's going to feel more like it because he's back with McCarthy. Yeah. Like seeing those two like staring at each other. It is going to be weird to see them like getting along and collaborating on shit. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be it's going to be very

interesting to see the steelers off on some excited about that. And then also Mike Tomlin kind of got in on dunking on two or two. Okay. So Mike Tomlin. Oh yeah. I saw that. Made a comment about like his ass might get fried. Yep. So things don't seem to be pointing in the

“right direction at quarterback for the Falcons, but I do think I think they could surprise some”

people this year. I mean, Bajana's like he's he's the best surprise. How if I think that they might win me worse than you thought? No. I think that there would be a funny surprise. If it's all about like if Panics can get back. Yeah. If they have somebody besides two of playing quarterback, I can see them winning nine games because that could be like two. It could be worse than I expect. That would be a surprise. How would that be possible? Oh, he could definitely do it. What if he

throws nine picks? That would be a surprise. Yeah. A hilarious surprise. Shoot for the Grand Canyon. If you miss, you might wind up in a toilet. Oh, man. All right. I like to steal it. This is the stealer's Falcons. This is my sucker bed of the of the week. Because I just I'm going to bet the stealers and it's it's probably. Oh, is it? Oh, no. That was part of your of your dog. Do you tell us who

else I'm here? Uh, it's Falcons, Jets. There's a third. Commanders.

Giants, New York. Wow. Oh, leaving you're something for the end of the night. Yeah. Everyone,

like the Giants. Big cat, super high in the Giants. And the Cowboys name, super high in the

“house. I think on what week we're talking about. And I'm just a sucker for for a shitty lefty.”

Yeah, for two. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Did you see her singing at the Grand Lopper the other day? No. He said a shitty lefty. Yeah. Oh, I like her. She's good. Cool. She's not shitty. Industry plant. Yeah. That's true. I still don't really understand what industry plant means. It's just the music industry is literally like the music industry is a garden. Everyone's a plant. Yeah. Yeah. But I also like is it just that your dad was a billionaire?

I found out more about it yesterday. So she got started. She became popular because she had 15 seconds snippets of her songs that went viral on TikTok all the time. Okay. And then after that, she made an album. I don't know if she had a full song before she had or if she just wrote the like 15 seconds. Yeah. But so everyone paid attention to her 15 seconds on TikTok. And that is where the wealthy father could probably come in because you can get your daughter's signs as some

sort of big representation deal that has connections that push your shit to the top of the

“TikTok algorithms. Hey, you might want to play this song. And by the way, I think her music is catchy.”

And well, yeah, the music. Well, isn't it isn't just no con? Because yeah, she she copies other hit songs. What's again, music industry is that is literally the music industry. The Beatles have I like it. Yeah. You can just relax dude. All right. Get it. Why don't you marry her? Why didn't you marry me? Yeah. No more marriage. I'm done. I just love the marriage. We should we should say, the calling her dad wealthy is wrong. He's he started group on. He's like Billy. Yeah,

wealthy would be yeah. Like, oh, he's, you know, got 20 million. He's got a nice little house and

Lake Forest. No, no, he there. They're still left the industry plan. I can't don't understand. If you like the music, you like the music who the fuck cares? But it is fun to just say industry plant without like it's very loaded. And I don't really know what it means. There's definitely there's got to be some NFL players that are industry plants for sure. Yeah. Oh, there's definitely industry plants like in the broadcasting world. Go on.

“Call it's worse on no ego. Like that shit is, you know. I think there's a difference though”

between nepo and industry plant. It can they can be related. Like I think she's an industry plant because her dad had the money. Oh, that's true. Yeah, I think. Make her industry plant. Yeah.

Yeah, like they boot the money to booster and and basically buy her way to that. Ross Tucker industry

plant. She what her dad wasn't in music. Right. Yeah, I'm I miss miss misunderstanding. Oh, industry play. No, that's I. I necessarily said nepo or investment industry plan. Cream team. You come for a long lot of cream teamers. Okay, bears it by the way. I did see it. Oh, it's a man by the way. He's probably the he's the silent member of the cream team. I did see an accusation that Zach is industry plant the other day, which is a very funny eye. That's honestly

a compliment to you, Zach. I'll take it. Zach, what is it about you? What is it about you that you think that these things happen? Like do you remember when we I had to genuinely ask you as I have you have you been in prison because there was like someone in our office who's like Zach might have been in prison. Well, that that was wrong because of the tattoo. Yeah, yeah. It is a prison tattoo. No prison on body or prison time spent. I'm so far on the side. But like industry plant prison,

like it's kind of funny that you get these things thrown at you. The wind diagram doesn't make much sense to me, but you you rolled the punches. I got it. I got to tell that story because I was selling it to someone else and it just makes me laugh because Ron. One of my good friends and he or he talked to PFT and he called me and he was like dead dead one of the conversation with Hank. Like I don't I don't think he's been in prison, but Ron thinks like definitely he might have

been in prison. So like should we? But Ron's also like a very sarcastic like ball bust or like a lot of the conversations are like tongue and cheek and like we're joking and it's like I was like surely he's not serious. He's like no dead serious. Like we got to check on HR because like those are like gang prison tattoos. And I was like you're joking, right? Like this is a joke. I can see Zack didn't know I'm dead serious. I guess he's playing a video game and then one of the guys in

video game is in prison has that tattoo and Zack's like I like that tattoo. Hey we're tipping part of my take right now. When you started the rumor that Zack was in prison because of his prison tattoo, were you being serious? I just figured that he had been done. I feel like with those. Those specific markings have like a very significant gang suggestion and I would check. Have you guys ever seen the elbows? I would check his elbows for some kind of like spider ones.

I was a clean because we were just randomly we're doing that we're doing a week one preview and we

then I brought up was like remember that time when I had to ask you if you had been in prison and

yeah it's kind of the beginning of the deported when they like when he goes in for a little bit so he has a good back story. And Zack underneath his shoulders if there's a fair star on the front of

“his shoulders he's a Russian disinformation. I did notice that he has a tear drop but I think the”

tear drop might be chocolate syrup. Is the chocolate syrup filled in? Yeah. Okay. All right babe Ron good to talk to you just maybe cook up in the next couple of weeks just another wild tail of Zack and we'll get it going. Yeah maybe and maybe we won't even see it coming. Yeah I'd see a bite. Why would I want to get industry planted into prison? Yeah be bad and there's like worst place to get planted. No that's exactly didn't in blackbird in the movie new guy got the guy

got the son of a bitch. Yeah they sent him he was a nerd in school then they sent him because prison think it was back changes his hair takes off his glasses. Cool guy she's all that. I love the

idea of Zack like living out departed and he's he basically they had to send a prison then send him.

I guess what would it be? It would be maybe maybe you're doing this to then take down another podcast. Oh it's a long game. Yeah okay yeah bad friends like if we started a fake rumor that you're going to date Rudy and bad friends or like the original draft I go over there and then take them out. Yeah yeah okay all right back to games he would fuck you up. Bears minus three Panthers at the Panthers over under 46 and a half how many times are going to show the trade graphic. Yeah a lot.

I twice once before the game once during the game. If there's a blow either way they might show it as well. Yeah so you got Caleb, Darnel Wright, DJ Moore, Luther Burton, Tyrex, Stevenson,

and Tori Taylor for Bryce Yang essentially. Who do you think won that trade? I want to say the bears

I'm not going to I'm biased here you guys can you guys can say who you think won that trade. I'm going to wait till all the facts come out. Okay that's fair that's fair yet Darnel Wright just got a

“a big contract extension Luther Burton. I I said this I believe on Wednesday show”

this season is I'm going into it knowing that the defense is probably not going to be good unless there's an absolute miracle. So like the regression conversation totally agree with it on the defensive side. I need the regression not to happen on the offensive side to be a success. So I needed to be progression on offense like there's a world where the bears don't make the playoffs but they're a top five offense and our defense is so bad that I can almost like I would be very upset

but I could deal with it. The world that would be an abject failure of this season is if the defense is bad and the offense is also bad that would be a problem a step back. Now how would you feel if we look back on this game and the defense gives up 400 yards but but you create three turnovers. If we give up 400 yards to the Panthers offense we're going to be in a lot of trouble. I both sides are going to look in be like it's it's actually it's kind of a game within a game

it's almost like the jets in the the Titans game where the Panthers offense is looking at the bears defense like we got to get them and the bears defense is looking to pay the offense to be like if we can't stop them what what else what happens or we play some explosive offenses. Yeah I'm just I'm wondering because that to me might be one of the more frustrating positions to be in where you're not sure if your defense is good or not or if you're just really lucky at creating turnovers.

Well I will say I do think there is such like this you just have them with lovely Smith teams where it's like oh the turnovers turnovers like there is a way to coach it. I do think Al heris does do that

“like I think he's very very good at coaching playing on the ball and getting the ball and taking”

the ball away. I do expect I don't I I'm not like going into this season being like all the defense might be good. I think the defense I'm going into the season being like the defense is not good just how not good is it. Mm-hmm. If that makes sense. But this yeah I feel like you might be able to if you get a lead in this game. Yet no I think I think the defense might look good. I think we're going to be a fun team in the fact that I a lot of these games are going to have to probably

be shootouts. Yeah. And so Caleb looking taking that next step forward Luther Romadune say Colson Loving who I think is going to be an absolute superstar that these are the things that need to happen and it starts with with this one. You gotta do it. I mean the pan like I don't think this is an easy

whole entire conversation. I'm excited that this is the game we start with. That's a perfect time. Team everything. So now overlooking the panthers it's more just I don't have to deal with any panthers fans in my life. So David Tapper he addressed the media for the first time in a very long time. We talked about expectations for the team and for it's quarterback. He said I'd like to see a strength together two winning seasons together for the first time in this franchises history. So that's

this year and next year. Wait that's true. That's success. That can't be true. Is that true? It sounded like something that's not true but I thought back the Cam Newtonera they got to the playoffs at least once

“with a losing record. They went 15 and won and they would fall off that bad the year after. I think”

they got for playoffs with at least it was 500. Oh my God. Maybe losing record. God. Because Ron Rivera I think he's the first team to ever get two different teams to the playoff with losing record. Oh my God. It's true. Yeah. The best they did was they had a 2005 when they went to the conference

and I've seen they went 11 and 5 the next year they went 8 need. Yep. That's crazy. I never realized

that. Pretty crazy. Holy shit. Yep. And they're not even, yes they're not even doing it this year. They can't even complete it. They can't do it this year. So even though they went to the playoffs last year. Yeah. They have to do one winning season right now and then another winning season next year then they'll have two to row. Okay. So that's a high goal. High goal. I didn't need to say let's get a winning season then we'll deal with next year. And because he wants to. Or just like what's for the moon?

So that that is the confusing part because they went to the playoffs three years in a row. Yeah. They went 12 and four seven eight and one. Yeah. 15 and one. That's basically two winning seasons in a row. It feels like more than honestly it feels like I'm like a dinosaur at that point. Okay. Uh next game. We're going to the bills of Texans. This will be main TV. Bill's minus one and a half Texans at the Texans over under 44 and a half.

Josh Allen it feels like Houston is a house of horrors for him. He's never one in Houston. And we've

also had some like bad moments. He remember last year he got absolutely smushed. That was the game

“that we did the case race and people. Texans fans were very upset at us for that. Remember that?”

Yeah. We were hammered. We were so hammered. We got to do a case race again. Yeah. To make Orion's defensive given on problems. I don't this is my I don't know again. I have no idea. I I kind of lean the bills, but I have no idea. Like maybe this is just we don't know what it's going to look like. We don't know what Brady's offense is necessarily going to look like in it. She's made this entirety with DJ Moore. I think it's going to be good. Jim Leonard's

defense is going to look like the aggressiveness like they're not going to be as maybe vanilla as Sean McDermott had it. I think I would take the the Texans just based on the fact that Josh Allen's been in hell when he's been in Houston. Owen 3 in Houston. He did beat the Texans in 2021, 40 to nothing at home. And I believe this is true, said it's been 20 years since the bills have won a game in Houston. Wow. Long time I do like the Texans in this just because it feels

a little bit disrespectful. Yeah. That the that the bills will be favored on the road against the team that that kind of beat the fuck out from last year. Yeah. I don't really I guess maybe we're just like we don't know what to expect from CJ Stroud. You know, Jane Higgins got hurt. So now it's just Nico Collins. What's the what's the Montgomery like everyone knows the Texans defense going to be they're they're they're fucking awesome. Yeah dudes everywhere. They don't

even have to like to beco Ryan doesn't have to do exotic shit. He just can be like our guys are better than your guys. Yeah, we'll Anderson called it a AFC championship preview. Oh, all right. AFC championship type game. I think he's what he said. Okay. I need to figure out what CJ Stroud's doing with his thumbs and his eyes before games. Yeah. Is that a mental reset? Is that resetting the neurons? What is he? Is that strictly just for eyes? I would like to know as well. Because

whatever he's doing, I'm like I see somebody doing that. It looks like they they're onto something. I want to know what it is. Yeah. Yeah. Did you guys see also Sean McDermott doing a couple? We got to have Sean McDermott on again now that I think he's been doing a little bit of media. But he said that part of what he's been doing since he got fired by the bills is talking to people that were in the building and being like what what is the stuff that I never that I didn't know.

What's the stuff that never got elevated to me? Which that has to suck. Yeah. So just basically like

what was everyone saying behind my back? That's the most that's got to suck. I think that's the most

“fired football coach move. Yeah. I respect that. No, no. You have to do it. I'm not saying that”

it's not the right it's the 100% right thing to do to get your blind spots near them out. He's doing if I'm saying on himself to have to like go back and have people be like yeah we thought this when you did this. That's kind of just your basically that's torture. He's going to be better for it but it's

would be like hey here's honestly what people said about you. Right. That's what I'm saying. You think that

“people you have to know somebody that would be honest and willing to share that. That's what I'm saying.”

That's that is that has to be just not a fun act. There's always those people that wanted that

want to feel like they want to let you know though. Oh yeah. We should actually have Martin and tell him what he did wrong our interviews with us. What we thought about him. Yeah. How come you didn't bring up the 9/11 thing with us? Yeah. Why didn't you talk about that? Yeah. He's probably busy today putting together a PowerPoint or something. Do you think anyone said to him like hey man that I love and think was a little weird? Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. Okay. Well. No. I'm sorry.

Maybe he didn't come out until like years later. Right. Which would probably imply that it was somebody that was no longer in the building that I don't know. It feels like maybe that should be your sign as a head coach. If you make a 9/11 comparison in a positive manner and nobody checks you in that

moment. You're surrounded by yes men. Yeah. But also Hank. He kind of got the backlash for that.

Do you think that like some if you to ask someone like give me the honest truth they're probably like well he already knows about the 9/11 thing. They're probably not gonna say it again. Right. It gets thrown in there like yeah and the 9/11 thing. Oh it's like a data like yeah. Oh yeah and that whole like 9/11 thing that was weird. Some people did some things as we were saying. Yeah. Okay. Before we get to afternoon slate twisted tea. We love

twisted tea football season's back. It's the moment we've all been waiting for football season's back at the full swing, which means we'll be posted up with an ice cold tea until further notice twisted teas are refreshing heart ice tea made with real brood tea. 5% alcohol in the twisted tea party pack has a little something for everyone with original half and half raspberry and peach. It's got the refreshing taste with a little kick. No carbonation and goes down smooth,

making it the perfect drink to keep the good times going at the tailgate all day and all football season long. Whether you're tailgating at the stadium, crushing teas in your man cave or grilling out with your friends. Twisted tea is there to turn your day up a notch and make a good time. A great time. We love the half and half the original. Grabber refreshing twisted tea today. Keep it twisted with twisted tea. Okay. Afternoon boys. Dolphins Raiders. Yeah.

Raiders minus three over under a 40 and a half. Clint Kobiak's already kind of pissing me off in what way. Well, the whole Brock Bowers thing. That was crazy. That is weird. The report that came out yesterday being like he's Brock Bowers needs a little trim, a little trim of his miniscus. They treated him. They treated him. They treated his knee like it was a sideburns. I said it was a haircut. He

described it like it's it's not a big deal. Just needs to take a little off the top. Right. So yeah, Clint Kobiak did a press conference said that everyone's ready to go. They asked specifically about Max Crosby and Brock Bowers. He's like he's good to go hour later. Oh yeah, actually he had a little minor surgery. He's not good to go. That pisses me off. It was just a little clean up though. That's the thing. It's no big deal and he should be bad. He shouldn't miss

“more than like a few maybe four. Yeah. Maybe five weeks. Why's everybody freaking out?”

Rise everyone freaking out. It's not a big deal. Stop saying it's a big deal. It is kind of dirty move to pull. Yeah. I don't want to make like gambling seem like it's the end of the road. But the league. Yeah. Fantasy the league does have a shitload of gambling sponsors and they're like, hey, sign up for this sign up for that and then they have an injury report that's supposed to be legit. Yes. And then it seems like this is certainly something they knew about. Yeah.

Did you guys know a fun little fact about the Miami Dolphins? The only team in recorded history to have more, they're paying players more that are not on the roster than players on the active roster. And it's mostly to it. To a, yeah, to a tiring kill. I think I think there's some make a Fitzpatrick in there. What is to like 54 mil? Yeah. 54 mil. Yeah. There's a lot. There's a lot.

So 133 million dollars going to dead cap players that are not on the active roster 104 on the

roster. What would you guess since 1999 these teams have played a bunch that played 16 times since 1999.

“What would you guess the record is between the two of the 16 times they played 16 times?”

Since when? Since 1999. How could I make, how could I tell you the stat where both teams somehow have a losing record? It's actually not. One team has been dominant. Oh, really? Yeah. All right. I was surprised. The Dolphins. Dolphins fucking own. Yeah. 13 and 3. It gets the Raiders since 1999. Wow. I'm going to, I'm going to guess that's probably their best record against any team in the

the roster is not looking good. Well, it's young at all. They have, in their secondary. Yeah.

Starting, they have a combined 17 NFL starts total and 11 of the 17 are from one guy,

“Juju Brens. But I think, I think being young in this situation is actually not the worst thing.”

I think you're going to find some guys that can play and also they don't have any bad memories of all the dumb shit that that organization's done the past. Yeah. I mean, it's better than just keep doing the same thing over and over and not getting anywhere. Yeah. I agree with that. And I don't know if it's just the coaching that he had last year, but I'm kind of high on Delic Will. It's just over certainly over where he was a couple of years ago. Yeah. But like, I don't think he's a bad

quarterback. No. No, I agree. Um, not having the same talent around him that he had on the

packers, we'll see what that looks like, but I agree. Even he was, he was dynamic when he came in

for the pack. Yeah. So I don't know. I don't know what the, the offense is going to look like in my enemy. But if anything like the packers offense, I think it's a good fit for him. Look, and if you want it, if you want to know how far Malik Willis has come, member two years ago when he played, I think he had to start like what was like, we two or three and you're like, better bed against Malik Willis no matter what. He's come this far. Yeah. True. Yeah. He's won me over. Yeah.

By the way, I missed the game in the early sleep, which you're going to love. I think that I missed the game, uh, the Browns at the Jaguars. That's early. Okay. Yeah. So we could talk about that right now. Yeah. Browns at Jaguars. Jaguars might have stayed in half over 139.5. Not to, not to two my own horn, but in terms of predictions, looking good right away, my, uh, least improved player to Sean Watson got arrested for or got stopped for speeding. He's somehow becoming a worse

person. So that's a pretty good start. It's kind of a pity he was going like 20 miles. It wasn't that bad. It was 86 and a 60 is going you've definitely gone 80. You may have gone 86 and a 60 today. Okay. So Max is the Sean Watson defend. Yeah. Wow. Wow. 86 and a 60 is not that bad. I haven't seen you this fired up. Okay. Well, you were just trying to do victory laps on. No, no, no, no, no, no. And then I saw it. I was like, this is nothing. Through two, like,

least improved player and, and that's a hard thing to do because he's really, really bad in a bad

“big improvement from Rubin tug. No, that's, that's, that's what I'm saying. Who's saying he's, he's”

stopped doing that. I don't think that this is, but this, he was not leaving a Rubin tug. You're not driving

20 miles an hour. You're going to stress. You're always going to what if he's going to practice.

And you can't wait to get there. I'm just saying he, he could end up beat like if he just starts picking up some improvement from miles. Get tickets left and right. He's just a worse person. Miles Garrett isn't he's a fast driver. But again, I think that goes back. I don't, you never drive over the speed limit. I think having a defense line and going fast is one thing having a quarterback going fast. That's another. Mm-hmm. You got to take that position by position.

One 86 and a 60. Uh, it was a school zone. No. It's a school zone. It was at LeBron school. That doesn't exist. School right next to highway. You guys remember, I saw your tweet. I was like, Holy shit, what did the Sean Watson do? And then the more I read it, I was like, there's got to be more. I'm not saying it's crazy. I'm just saying that he, like 24 hours later, he's just adding another thing. Not a good guy, maybe. Start to think he might not be a good guy. So you're saying if you go 86 or six here,

you're a bad guy. I didn't say that. I said I'm starting to think he's not a good guy. It is a bad guy. They say he's a bad guy. I mean, he is a bad guy. I'm going to start keeping track of all driving infractions. Okay. He is a bad guy. Bad guy. This isn't a good example of that. No, but it's when you have the other stuff added on regular citizen going 86 and 60. It's like this is the final straw. Yeah, right. Yeah. I put up with a lot to Sean. Yeah. And that you know,

the small stuff adds up to correct, correct. I think the Jaguar's were not getting any respect or talked about a lot. I think they're going to be really good this year. They could win the South. I Trevor Lawrence is going to be like it's going to keep going forward. Also if you saw it if you're conspiracy theorist, the Super Old Graphic Trevor Lawrence was closest to the Super to the color of the green type thing. Yeah. Yeah. This is so these two teams, you might not

remember too much about the Jaguars and the Browns playing against each other. But that is the bottle gate game. Yeah. 2001. It was the Jaguars. They won 15 to 10 and every Browns fan through

“thousands of plastic bottles onto the field. And that's why that's why I had at NFL games. We're”

not allowed to have the bottle caps on our bottles anymore. Yeah. Hang just did it again. Hang just did it again. What was that look? He stared at you. I looked over. You were talking. What do you

you just looked over so slowly and gave me the most menacing look. Why did you do that? We have to get menacing. I laughed so hard watching that clip again. We're maxed like I'm not going to fucking back down. We got to get this out. You guys aren't allowed to look at each other during

“the show. I just don't know why you put a cone on on a it's bad. Yeah. Why did you do that, Hank?”

Show me the look. What was it about the the bottle story that told you this is a good time. I, this is crazy that I had to do like the like Max Max is just not locked in. And you were talking. You were saying something when I looked over. Me some talking about going a hundred. Going a hundred. He was hours. I like to go fast. Okay. Sometimes PFT says something that that make me laugh and I look over to see if I'm like minded and PFT is like,

oh, I remember as the bottle gate came from 2001 and I was like, well, we're not 100 years old. So I looked over to see a max. It was thinking the same thing and then he was like, you gave me the mean. It's looking all the time. It's like, all right. No, that's not locked in. We got a lock-in. We got a lock-in. The bottle gate game is actually, it's a big moment. I know nothing about it. It's an American history. No.

Because Max, you're not allowed to have bottles. Just the way you said it was funny where you're like,

I remember the box. Yeah, you always wondered how come they won't give me the tops on my

fucking bottle when I get it. I think it's true. Yes, come back.

“Cleveland pieces of the Browns Jaguar's game from 25 years ago. That's why.”

I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, you're right. That's on me locking. But also locking lock-in. Lock-in. If that happened in Philly, they would have built statues of the people throwing the bottles. That's, that's, we're sure. That makes no sense. Yeah, they continue. They were going to throw them at kids. Yeah, or Santa. That would have made more sense. Throw them at kids? No, of PFT saying, oh, if you know, if you really do what it would have

been needed. But to make statues, what is that anything? I said if that happened in Philly, they would have, they would have plotted it. Like, hey, look at us. We made the rule that happened at the bottom. Actually, that, I'm going to sign with Max. That's a very wrong PFT because they only make statues of fictional characters. That's true. Yeah. So this actually happened. Yeah. It's a metaphor. So if this happened in draft day, the movie, and then they make a statue of all the fans thrown bottles. That's rivalry between you two.

It's got to, got to amp it up. Grudge match. Got to amp it up. It's too early for this. It's too early for Riley. That's too early for Riley. But you as your play in the Panthers, new. Max, you're going to say nice and calm love to be playing. I can't wait to see how calm you are on Sunday.

I'm not going to be calm. I never said I was going to be calm. Okay. Back to the afternoon,

sorry for that brief Jaguar's crowns. Got to go a little heated there. Packers at Vikings, Vikings minus one and a half over under is 46 and a half. What do you guys think, Kyle Murray? Do we think he's going to be this is it for Kyler, right? Yeah. Like, he's got to be good. I mean, to unpack the analogy a little bit more. Some people are our foster parents for dogs. Some people are

“adoptive forever homes for dogs. And I think that the Viking, I think KLC is good at taking”

dogs, rehoming them might have grown up in a bad environment. Quarterbacks that might have had a bad experience teaching them, hey, this how you go to the bathroom in the house, this how we eat calmly, this is where we sleep at night in our crate. And so we walk on a leash, teaches them how to be good quarterbacks. So the next place that they go, they're awesome. Yeah. I don't know that he's great at selecting his own pure bread quarterback like a day with JJ. I think that this is a great spot.

It's a perfect spot for Kyler Murray. I don't know that it's a perfect spot for the Vikings to be in. Yeah. But I think that what he's going to get the absolute best out of Kyler Murray that he possibly can at this point, which I think should be good enough to be a pretty good team this year. Yeah. I mean, listen, you also like, there's two parts of the game or two sides of the ball, like Brian Flores against the packers offensive line that is maybe going to be the weaker part of

their team. That will be interesting. Who's going to step up and be the packers like best receivers? It's going to be Matthew Golden. It's going to be Christian Watson. I don't know. Josh Jacobs is in playing. So this might be the good time to get them. You know, like this might be the time Tucker craft is is is is back. Mike, a person is not going to be back for another four weeks. Like this is the time. If you're Kyler Murray in this Vikings team to play the packers. Harrison Smith back.

Harrison Smith back year 15. Yeah. He just decided. I think that it was a plan all along. He's like, I don't want to do training camp in preseason. Yeah. I'll just come back. Yeah. He's probably earned that at this point. Hmm. Okay. What do we got anything else in this game? Overs 21 in four for the packers were played. Uh, as I don't like that. That's that. I can't let snap. Matt LaFlor 17 and four

against the spread first three games this season. That's good. That comes out strong. This is

me a good game. Very good game. Yeah. And college drill looks so small. Yeah. The tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny Kyler. I went back to how we reacted when we first saw Kirk cousins. Yeah. In the Vikings

at anybody. He's going to look so cute. He's going to look so cute. I would love to see Kyler wearing Guardian cap, big purple helmet, tiny little purple uniform. It'd be adorable. Yeah. What do you think,

“okay? I think it'll be, I think it'll be cute. I think he's going to be good. I think he's going to be”

goodish. I think. Which could be good enough. Yeah. That's kind of where I'm at. Goodish could be good enough for for this Vikings scene. Is there any, um, when GTA comes out though, this, that's when you,

that's when you flip on the Vikings. Yeah. I feel like Kyler's going to be, well, it's never coming out.

Is he a GTA guy? He's got to be, right? Like a gamer of his, his never, no matter what he, he likes to play. He has to, everyone's the GTA guy. Give yourself two weeks for GTA. Unless you like playing video games that are out. Yeah. But everyone, everyone, everyone, yeah. Everyone played GTA in their life. When's it coming out? I think I post, push it again. Yeah. Push it again. Again. Yeah. That's, wait. Was that a recent push, recent push? How recent? They got guys who

used to work on the dead team come out and then I had, you're not coming out when you think it is. They also had a guy like holding the game for Ransom. Do you hear about that? Yeah. That was kind of wild. Is you think there is anyone on, is it a situation where we're getting close enough that there could be a kid who's like parent worked on the, on, on it. And now the kid is like old enough to work on it. It's like, how long has it been? Uh, GTA 5. It's been more than more than like a decade. Okay. Yeah.

So, yeah. So, yeah. We're getting kind of close. And there's no incentive for them to really even drop it because every year as he gave his highest grossing year. Yeah. Since long. It's crazy. Unreal. But yeah. I feel like whenever that comes out, Pistol Kyler and for, uh, for down week. Yeah, I agree. Okay. Before we get to Commander's Eagles, we've got a special delivery

“from King's Y and Jeff Gregg here. Here we go. Great. Thank you. What do you got for us here?”

Talker than Mike and tell me you're talking to Hank's Mike. Yeah. Hank's Mike. I'll take this. So, what I just handed you is, uh, our take on a Chicago Italian beef number 34. Love it. A little bit sweet Italian for Walter sweeten his patent and then love that for the commanders. Yeah. Hogs Slider. You got five pork deli meats. Ooh. For the alignment that did Joe gives from loving a lot of thanks for Chef Gregg. He said five different pork deli meats

uh, for the Hogs. We're eating major tuddy-tuddy-tuddy-tuddy. I got a lot. I got here. I got a lot for rolls. You got lots of rolls? These are incredible. So, King's Y and his making the claim that they're the best Slider and football. But Eli is implying it. In fact, he's settling, uh, setting out on a full blown mission to prove that he is the real best Slider in the sport no matter how hard he tries.

Eli can't outrun the undeniable truth. King's Y and will always be the best Slider in football.

Whether it's at the stadium, the tailgate, or at home, no football watching experiences complete without King's Y and Sliders. Chef Gregg hooked us up here. King's Y and Sliders are undefeated on game day. For more information about King's Y and products and details on where to purchase them. Visit www.King'sHawaiian.com. These are incredible. This is the best Slider we've ever had. This is again, Chef Gregg. This is really good. I got roast pork sliders back here with

broccoli, broccoli, robbing some sharp problem. Really good. This is absolutely good. I love any any deli sandwich that's got all the Italian meats on it that says all of them and that's a little viscous flowers on the side here. You know what this is? It's so good. You think what I'm thinking? This is out of bounds. This is out of bounds. Out of bounds. I know Italian that would love years PFT. Yes. It's really so this game. Yeah, big dog. All right. Well, thank you to King's Y

incredible sponsor. We're going to do more stuff with them all football season. Go get him today.

They're the best. The absolute best and get some sliders. Chef Gregg makes us some incredible sliders. Okay. Game of the week. Commanders or Seagulls, boys. Yeah. Feeling. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling great about it. I can't wait to watch my favorite team play football on Sunday. Commanders fan is going to take over the hard rock and Philadelphia again. We got to hell. You got to you got a storm and that works well the last time. You got to take it. Well, there are some fumbles. Yeah.

There was a fumble change. Everything. Three fumbles. Take over the hard rock and then stop fumbling. That's my. Those are my two big keys to the game. What? What are all right? So I'll start with you PFT. What are you expecting in terms of this game? Like if you don't win, what are you looking for? I'm looking for everybody to be healthy and I'm looking for it to be a

“competitive game. Okay. That's what I'm looking for. Really, we don't know what to expect out of”

either offense because we don't manion and blow. Yeah. It's like who's we can expect these guys

tone for it. Yeah. I agree. Max, you. I'm going to say right now I'm not going to

react to anything on Sunday but I will over react big time if they lose this game. Especially if the offense looks bad. Okay. If they lose and like the defense doesn't look great and the

“offense looks really good. I would be better with that loss because it's like okay. I think that”

defense, like there's enough talent on the defense, Vic Fangio has earned our trust. Like they'll figure it out. If the offense comes out and looks like it did against, you know, maybe the bearer's game last year, that'll be a huge red flag and I will be over react. Okay. What do you think? Is there any distraction in this game because of that rat snitch of manual auto? Who again, the giant so the team that we're going to do the giants preview later. Yeah. That's true. Any not we're focused

on for the NFL is investigating big dumb. A manual auto is an absolute loser who goes to the teacher at the end of class and be like, hey, you didn't give us any homework. Like, sorry. I mean allegedly, if this is all true, it's probably lying anyway and it's probably not even big dumb. But why would you be mad about a guy who helped you out? Well, I think it makes no fucking sense. Why would you rat out a guy who helped you out? Maximum winners just give you allegedly. If that's true, I'm

“give you some advice. The line from you should just be his a liar. Yeah. He's a liar. Because he has a”

lot. There you go. And it's also a fucking fender bet, like who can see now you keep to a liar. As your attorney, if I was your lawyer, I'd punch you in the face right now. Oh, yeah. Just shut up. I'd put you in a Hannibal lecture, Matt. His lawyer shut the fuck up Friday. And he's a liar. My family is not the issue. Oh, what's the issue? What's the issue, Hank? Something's also firing police reports. Sounds like you're siding with a manual. Yeah.

Sounds like you're a loser. Are you a loser? I believe I believe I believe I believe manual watches the liar. I'm just pointing out like Max, saying it's a fender better who cares. If it were true, which I don't think it is, I think big dumb stand-up guy. Also, I don't think a manual watch show was ever good enough for team security to step in and falsify a police report for. If you have that position, you save that for people that actually contribute to winning.

Manual watch show. He's just once. He's the worst. He just wants people to start to keep talking about fucking a manual. Yeah. Yeah. And we're not going to talk at all about fucking a manual

watch show. Never. Yeah. And I'll never even happen. Right. And he's a liar. And he's a liar.

And if it did happen, it's a fender-bender. No, it didn't even happen. I don't even know why I entertained the idea if it did happen. But it didn't happen. Right. Okay. So realistically, I am looking for the offense to look good. I think that it might look really good. I think Jane Daniels, he's as healthy as he's been since the start of last season. And he did have a few good games last year when he was healthy. I think that he's going to remind a lot of people who

“he is. Yeah. That's what I think. I think the bad man might be back. I think that he probably”

doesn't even have the internet. So I don't know that he's even experienced what the last couple weeks have been like with people making fun of him. He seems like a guy that just doesn't go online. He think his mom says no screens in the house. I think she has the internet forum. That's pretty good. I think that he tries to log on and she's on the phone. Yeah. And she's like, sorry, Jane Daniels. I'm talking. What's the deal with the offensive line? How's that situation looking?

Great question, Max. Thanks for asking that question. It's a fine offensive line. Does it all this shit? I got so triggered yesterday. It's a lot of things that these mother fuckers at NFL.com and you're not supposed to get upset about about power rankings. I got

very upset about power rankings. They had the fucking commanders second to last in the NFL because

of one tweet about one bad practice that they amplifies on a national sports podcast. It was one bad news story. And Hank, I told you at the time and you didn't clarify your report. It was just about not my report. Is your fault? No, you report it on the podcast. No, therefore it becomes your report. I read the tweet. You as was written. You minus context. I read the tweet as was right. You omitted the context that it was a backup offensive line featuring even some third stringers. That

should have been said in the tweet. Now, what I read that. I tried to inform you the context. Hank declined to upside the podcast. The context was there. So the people writing the report heard the context. But Hank, you know how many Hank stands there. They only listened to what you said. Yeah, Hank, you did this. So you're saying that people at NFL.com heard the report. Only on this podcast. Yes. And ignored the context that you provided. Yes. And it's my fault for reading a tweet

as written. Yes, you are the media. You have a bigger responsibility than that. Like there's a lot of

that. Who? The people at NFL.com that you as a source. You seem like a journalist. The entire

explanation for ranking them 31st was because of a bad practice. Yeah. That was that you spread that Hank spread that then was followed up by a bad preseason game. Not even talking about a regular see we're talking about a preseason game in that game 40 of the best players didn't even play.

“And that's the reason why the commanders are the second worst team in the NFL. I think that”

they're they're going to surprise some people. I think the offense is going to be back in really, really good. I think that the defense might confuse some people because we've got a new defense coordinator that seems like the new exotic king. You're going to have here's my prediction. You're going to have guys coming from directions that you didn't think guys could come from. Oh, like he is going to load up that box. It's going to be crazy. They're coming from everywhere. It's going to

be coming from all different right middle. Every time you turn your head, there's a guy coming and it's going to be you're going to say, please stop. Yeah. I need to stop time out too many guys are coming at me. So you're telling me on Sunday, I'm going to be like, these guys got to stop coming. Yeah. You're going to have to take off your glasses because they're going to come, then so I'm going to be watching this game. I want to be like, these guys are coming everywhere.

I'm drowning. I'm drowning in what come. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. God, what are you talking about? I'm talking about my bad mind. I'm talking about blitzes. Yeah, blitzes. I'm talking about sending guys from different angles. Right. Getting in the box. Stick in your nose and they're going to come from behind. They're going to come from in front. Penetrient line. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Penetration like you've never imagined jail and hurts turns his back. Oh, the guy's going to

come from behind. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. That's it. He shows us us guy coming. I do think that there's going to be a lot of guys coming. I do. Yeah. Because Dorante Jones, he seems like maybe the next iteration of Dr. He maybe maybe even a mad scientist type defensive coordinator. Yeah. So I'm looking forward to what he's going to do with that because this is a defense that is not going to be one of the best of the league, but maybe we can thrive on turnovers and guys coming and guys coming from

directions that you don't expect. If you lead the league and guys coming, you will definitely you'll at least announce your presence. Yeah. Yeah. It's hard to, yeah. It's hard to ignore that. Yeah.

“Right. So yeah, I do think that the defense is won't be as good as the offense, but I think it”

could be serviceable. And it's like the it's a hallmark of a coach that's really desperate to change something up, switching from like a fourth, three, two, a three, four because they did a whole off season of study and you realized you might get more turnovers. Yep. And the three, four, we've heard a lot of football guys kind of go down that road before. And that's kind of what Dan Quinn's trying to do with the defense this year. It was terrible, historically bad last year.

I think if we had an average defense last year and Jayden was healthy, it would have been a perfectly average team. Instead, it was the doomsday scenario, which I don't think that we're going to get two years in a row. And I think Jayden's healthy. And I think he's going to remind a lot of people about the bad man still here. And also, little fun stats. He's the bad man. The bad man. Okay. And this in this monologue that I'm giving trying to put my self up for the season. He's he's

a bad man. The last time we had a rematch, a Super Bowl rematch in a week one. Dan Quinn took a team to the Super Bowl as a coach. Oh, we have a Super Bowl rematch because that already happened. He has had already happened. Right. So if that holds, if that pattern holds, then yeah, look for the commanders in the Super Bowl this year. Don't ask what happened in the Super Bowl. Right. But still, but still, he got there. So that's that's where I'm at. Now excited to watch for two guys. In reality,

the Eagles are probably going to win 35 to 10. No. Don't say that. That's just kind of what happens. And the Eagles, Jayden hurts especially a great week one quarterback. Eagles are good, week one team. But we got to see it's brand new offense could take a little bit to, you know, gets situated. Yeah. Yeah. I couldn't think of the right word, but whatever it's fine. That was close enough. The Penn State all-time leading rusher is going up against San Juan Barclay this weekend. Pretty cool.

That is pretty cool. Yeah. That's correct. Yeah. All right. Last Sunday afternoon game, Cardinals of Chargers. Oh, I got for this as Jim Harrow's quote, which was so fucking awesome.

He said it's September. It's time to play our first game. And I support no cause for an or domestic

other than the greatness of the Los Angeles Chargers. Yep. That is the guest. That is Harrow's annual quote that he's given, probably going back to what he was in San Diego. Yep. But he, he looks at a football team as a sovereign country as a nation of its own. And he is their leader. And he takes an annual oath of office every summer. Before it starts, we're talking to Sam Schwarzen about this awhile ago. That's like his favorite thing to say.

“Yeah. It's foreign and domestic. Yes. This is the most win for the Chargers. Do we all agree?”

You got to win this game. Yep. Yes. Half to win this game. Yep. Half to win this game.

Jim Harrow did say that Mike McDaniel reminds him of a young Jimmy Harrow. How about that? Yeah. He carries around a pencil when he's around McDaniel. Yeah. Just to write that as quotes. Yeah. And then they followed up and asked, did you ever dress like Mike McDaniel? He said no. I think that's probably fair to say. I love that. I love that. I don't think that matters. I think Mike Ford even said,

like, don't even look into that. I think he's going to, I think there, it seems like the Cardinals are going to try to use Jeremiah love a good amount, but not too much. Because why would you waste them in the year that probably is not going to end up in the world? So get him ready, get him going, but don't, don't have him be like 250 carry guy. Yeah. This is, it is

“though, must win for the Chargers. 100 without a doubt. You have to win this game. I asked Blutman,”

Liam Blutman, if he had any fun facts about any players, because he just remembers everything that's ever been said about any player on any college broadcast ever. In this game, he said, Diane Henley's dad is Eugene Big U Henley who was the leader of the Rolling Sixty's Crips in Los Angeles. That's pretty cool. So that's pretty cool. That's his fun fact of the day. That is very cool. All right. Should we do Saturday football? And then we'll do some picks.

So Saturday football Cowboys at Giants Giants plus three over under 48 and half this is hungry dog you said. Dact does own the Giants. It feels like doesn't it? He's, I saw the stat. This is actually the 13th time that the Cowboys would begin a game of the season with the Giants. They're 11 and 1 in the previous 12 games. And Dac in his career against NFCE's pose is 37 and 10 straight up. So he's good against all the NFCE. He is. Yeah. He's, do you know, do you know how long it's been

since the Giants have scored a touchdown in a week one game? Three years and four years. Four years been four years. Yeah. So 2022, I guess four years as of right now, but just it would be just barely

over four years, if and when they do score their first touchdown. Okay. So we're looking for a

Giants touchdown. We're going to get one. We're definitely going to get one this week.

“OBJ. Yeah. The catch rematch. He looks great. How many times are going to show that catch?”

At least once has to be. I was in the car for that catch. I don't remember where I was going, but I was listening to it on radio. How did it describe it? See, it was just like, oh my god, I can't believe he caught it. I'm just pretty good. Yeah, that was pretty much it. I just remember like then getting home and like, oh shit. It was a sick catch. If that catch happened right now, how how much attention do you think it would get a lot along with the same amount? Yeah, as

did it before? I don't remember. Is that catch? Was it incomplete? No, it was an end one. Yeah, it was an end one. Yeah, it was an end one. It was an end one. Yeah, I'm just thinking that because we've gotten kind of de sensitized to one hand to catch it. And there's been a lot of, yeah, like really

incredible catches. That catch we talked about that catch for like a week nonstop. I think it was

the number one topic was something a football. I was like, yeah, yeah. Um, okay, should we do our picks? And we also have to do our part of the way, right?

“So, me Hank PFT if someone doesn't get it, they're sub-doubt and max is sub-din. Hank?”

I was going to take Jeremiah love until you just talked about it. And now I'm scared. I'm going to go

Yes. Okay. I'm going to get a little crazy or no. Do you want to get a little crazy? Get a little crazy. All right, it's not that crazy. We've brought powers out and we'll go Michael Mayer. Okay. Yeah. So, those are all afternoon. Wait, do we have a night game? Shift. We

“don't have a Sunday night. $10 pays $242.76 for that part of life. Whoa. Whoa. Should you do our picks?”

What are we going to do for punishment? Do we have any ideas? We can always decide a little bit later.

We can always run back drive to LA. Draft LA was kind of fun last time. Yep. We can also for the night and Memphis that was bad. We could also roll our blade to San Diego. That was my idea. Oh, my mind was also some with the rollerblading. Okay. Just rollerblading week. Only roller get around on blades. Yeah. Oh, man. Sounds kind of cool. I said to memes that for the next for the entire off season. The loser has to muck bang every time they get fast food.

Make a video of yourself muck banging. What is muck banging again? It's literally just eating a meal and then describing what you're eating. Any, you'd place it out in front of you, you've seen a man. You put it in front of you and you're like, I'm going to eat the fries now. These are fries from Macdonalds. Mmm. That's great. Yeah. It's got a shock of claw. Okay. So every time you get fast food, got to make a video. Okay. What about a bubble head week? You just wear helmet and a guardian cap all week.

I like that. Not a bad idea. I thought of a chain together scavenger hunt. So second place in last place

goes on we the four winners give clues to people. Let's say Gerry O'Connell. You have the fine Gerry O'Connell NLA. He has a key. He gives you the key and a clue to the next key. And then so on and so forth. I was thinking what about uh, you know, depending on who it is, they have to and maybe like you can get like prosthetic makeup to a celebrity that they look the most like and then go walk around the Hollywood Walk of Fame for like three hours and take pictures with

people. Okay. Okay. What about loser or loser in second place has to fix Gerry O'Connell's driveway?

“That's not a bad idea. I was going to say, get the actual like you have to get cement and like mix it.”

I was going to say loser just has to stay at Gerry O'Connell's house, but also fix his driveway. Yeah. I fix fixing the driveway. Oh, it's doable. It's definitely already fixed. Okay. Then maybe you have to you have to break it and then fix it. And then refix it. I like that. Okay.

The second place person gets has to break it. The last place person has to fix it. What about the

second, what about the last place person has to fix Gerry O'Connell's driveway while the second place person has to swim, can't put their feet on the bottom of this pool. I would much over. Yeah, I would. I would die. Yeah, I would. I would die. Yeah, I would. I'd be hours. Yeah. Water? No. I don't think that's possible. I kind of like the idea of of maybe a sleepover and fixing. Don't sleepover. Don't just said drive the OJ pursuit. Drive the OJ pursuit route in Vanne same speed.

That's not driving. It's in it. Yeah. Let's go of pretty slow. If the Broncos run in the super world and maybe.

“Yeah. I don't hate that. Did Dom have to man swim something to you?”

He was like, can I explain why I said that? I said no. And then he just beat the shot to fuck up pitch. And then he just proceeded to explain it while I was standing there and I was like, I thought it was pretty good. I don't know. I just played that explanation. I was like, Hank was being a bitch and I wanted to tell him to shut up. Oh, okay. Oh, by the way, I'm breaking moves. I can report that that was the first zoo Jeragoff it

been to as an adult. He said over 20 years crazy. So that was why he was just like, whoa, this is crazy. That is animals everywhere. Said it rock though. Said it was awesome. He said it was a good zoo. That let that be a lesson. The zoos are for adults too. Yeah. I guess that makes sense. Like, you probably have a pretty big gap in going to a zoo between being a kid and maybe having a kid. That it's like, I didn't go to a zoo. I've been to one zoo as an adult. Was it fun?

Great time. Yeah, zoos are awesome. You want to know where it was? Where? California. San Diego? San Diego. Well, okay. So you and you buried the lead there. I said I specifically said

And actually I've walked her. I've, yeah, I've never gone free side of the grounds of it. I've seen

some of the animals walking through the park though. You stalk to perimeter? Yeah. On, if you walk around the perimeter, you can see some of them. So you're like, oh, I'm getting some free looks at these animals, even though the zoo itself is free. Well, I just haven't, like, gone through the effort of going

“into the food. Yeah, because that's how they get you. Yeah. Once you get inside, then nothing is ever”

free. See the popcorn, true. And they have all that to do. Yeah. Popcorn pretzels and soft pretzels. Yeah. Really good one. A brush T-shirts. Really good. I'm a little too too train that you get to

drive around as long as it's big here. Back and whatever it's fine. Okay. Uh, it's some also additional

clarification on the Falcon Steelers game to a, has hurt his back. Oh, no. So there was a port that he grabbed his back and then sat down on the grass at practice. Doesn't sound good. Cooper rush. I think took every snap of the ones. So when we might get Cooper rush against the Steelers this weekend. And if so, maybe a good move by too. Yeah. After being, you know, threatened with his job. He's like fine. I don't play for bad performance. He's like fine. Maybe maybe I'm just hurt. Yeah. And so

fuck you, pay me smart move. Yep. All right. Picks. Everyone's got to pick a spread in and over

under two picks aside. Uh, let's start with memes. So we'll just go in order from that way.

Memes. I will go with Pittsburgh Steelers minus three and that feels like that was way up for you. The two are news. Although, I think you'd rather have to a start. Yeah.

“For sure. If you bet. Yeah. Steelers, you'd rather have to a start. Yep. No. Yep. That's what I was thinking.”

Yeah. Not Cooper rush. Thanks, too. He had that one game, dude. Watermelon game. That was the watermelon. It was 10 years ago. It was not 10 years ago. Yeah. No. Cooper rush does. Just saying blatantly was not 10 years ago. Yeah. Eight years ago? I don't know how many years ago was. Don't ask me about the years. All right. Max. I'm going with the Jets plus one and a half. All right. That Jets plus one and a half. Okay. I'm going to go with the Ravens minus three and a half.

Okay. TFT. I'm going to go with. I'm going to go with the Houston Texans plus one and a half. I'm going to take. Is it what's the line right now on? I'm seeing conflicting lines. I want to make sure I'm exactly right. I'm going to take Cowboys minus three. I'm going to take the Browns plus eight and a half. Ooh. And stinky and and I'm going to take the under in the Cowboys Giants 48 and a half. Okay. I'm going to take the Stinky S1 to the International Sports Advisors

back Friday. Dolphins Raiders over 40 and a half. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, right. Yeah. You like that? You like how gross I got. Oh. No. Yeah. I got dirty. Yeah. Where those points go? Well, you look at me like

“that four memes. That's a terrible over. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I like it. That reaction is why I like it.”

No business going over. Yeah. No business. Hmm. Team stink. I'm going to take the under in Charger's Cardinals. 47 and a half. I like that. I'm going to take the over in the Jet Titans 38 and a half. Ooh. You getting stinky with stinky. That's a stink is also just too high powered offense. Yeah. We're going to bring our own teams back. Okay. I'll be taking the over 46 and a half bears Panthers. I like it. I now have to stall. Okay. Because I wanted the Jet Steins over.

Yeah. That's also a Jet Stern installing. You don't want to do that. Still aviation humor. Try to keep up. The Buffalo Bills Houston Texans over 44 and a half. All right. We're often running boys. We're often running. Can't wait. Let's get to our interview. We've got hands that jacks us up for some football. It gets us so excited. PFT before we do that. You got to quick add before we get to our good friend. Scott Hanson. He's brought to you by Chevy. We love

Chevy here on part of my take. They are the full back of trucks. They're the official truck sponsor of part of my take. They're the truck to got us to in fro the Super Bowl in Los Angeles last time

football guy approved. So whether you're grinding through the week or if you're gearing up for kickoff

there's one ride that's always game ready. That is the Chevy Silverado Silverado keeps that heartbeat

Check out the current offers on the 2026 Silverado at Chevy.com that is Chevy.com, the heartbeat of America. Chevrolet. And now here is Scott Hanson. Okay, we now welcome on a very very special guests. We are so excited for football to be back. It is host of red zone Scott Hanson. The man he's here with Lowe's which I walked

“into the office. I think it was yesterday, Scott. And I just saw on the ground. I was like, oh,”

there's a Lowe's Chicago Bears toolbox for me. I'm not a tool guy, but now I might have to be. Dude, it's a it's a receptacle. Find something to do with it. Even if it's not a wrench. Yes,

these things are these things are awesome. First of all, big cat and PFT. It is great to be back

with your boys. It's been several years. I know. It's been reunited. Happy New Year to one and all. Yeah, let me talk about Lowe's real quick and then we're going to get in all the football. I'm sure. So yeah, I'm partnered with Lowe's again this year and Lowe's has your their earned your Sunday campaign. The concept is this, we all got stuff around the house we got to do, whether it's a tiny little project or a massive renovation. What the concept is, you go to Lowe's during the weekday,

you get your tools, you get your supplies, you get everything they take care of on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, so that you have earned your Sunday and can plop your butt on the tele on the couch to watch TV for let's just say seven hours of our runs on Sunday and you have earned your Sunday and Lowe's is partnered with some of the biggest names in the game to get that messaging out there. Dak Prescott, Christian McAfrey, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Love is new this year and new this year,

a rookie on the Lowe's home team, one of the greatest defenders of his generation, Miles Garrett. He's featured in some of the marketing stuff. So yeah, it's going to be a fun campaign. And beyond that,

“you just said it. Been cat the toolboxes. Check out this. Yes, the folks at Lowe's honestly,”

the folks at Lowe's love football, the way you guys and I love football. So they want fans to all, you know, to get into the spirit and whatnot, they partner with cobalt to make these mini NFL toolboxes. It's a steel toolbox, just the way you would have in your shop or garage or your basement or whatever, all 32 teams available courtesy of Lowe's, you go to Lowe's.com and check those out.

All right. So Scott, I love it. And you're exactly right. Like there's always some things you

got to take care of on Sunday morning before you get and sit on the couch all day. What's your Sunday morning look like? Cause you're your West Coast time, right? So what time are you waking up on Sunday before we just rip some red zone all day? Yeah. So the problem with me is I get so worked up and you guys know my energy. I can't go to sleep on Saturday night. The night that I need the most

“rest, I can't do it. I've been studying NFL facts for an entire week all day on Saturday.”

I've got for those watching and not just listening. I've got my media wall over here. I'm grinding on five college games. Hell yeah. All of every three hours. I got the best five college games on. I got my computers going on, getting all my notes. So I can't go to sleep on Sunday. I get to sleep maybe around midnight, maybe one o'clock. The alarm is set for 4 30 a.m. Pacific time. I'm in Los Angeles. 4 30 a.m. Pacific time. I usually my body wakes me up around 4 o'clock 4 15. I don't

even need the alarm. Jump into the shower. I don't drink coffee. This energy is natural. Don't need the caffeine. Head into the studio. I like to be the first one in there. A little after 5 a.m. I get the same salty dense protein breakfast from the chefs at the network. So I can retain water so I can famously not go to the bathroom for seven straight hours. We have a production meeting. We go over the last little things. We rehearse the top of the show right before. And then

you guys watch red zone. You know the countdown clock that we start like 15 minutes before the show. But the NFL films music. Yeah. When you watch in the countdown clock, Uncle Scott's in the men's room, going for the final time, shutting it down. And then it's the willpower of a ninja and focus on the touchdowns for seven straight hours. That's my favorite time of the week. When I see that clock, the red zone clock for the first time in a year. I can't even describe

after the game. Can I ask you something? I got to ask you a question. Put you on the spot. Do

you remember the first time I was ever on your show? I do. Yeah. Do you remember the first question

you ever asked me? I don't know. Big cat. Do you remember what PFT is? Do you ever do you ever pissed during the during the NFL Sunday? No, you guys were so keyed up about red zone and the greatness of it. I remember the verbage because I now have the best answer. It's stunned me at the time. The first thing you ever asked me was Scott, when you went to the Octobox for the first time, did it move? Yeah. It moves. And I'm like, what do you mean that it moved me emotionally?

Did it move me? Yeah. I was a little slow on the uptake. But after all these years, I have an answer for you. Did you have to eat? It moved so much. It needed to fill out a change of address for close stuff. It does. It does. It does. It's so exciting. It does move. And then when it's all over, I got to take a nap. It's, you know, there's a lot of similarities there. At the end of it,

“when the day is over, do you just crash? Do you, is it just you hit a wall? Or do you have to wind down?”

Dude, I'm, I'm a nut job. So I, I, I, I finish. My bladder is so well trained. When I finished the touchdown montage, right, the music video with all 60, whatever touchdowns on it, I pop my earpiece. I take the microphone off. I don't even have to go to the bathroom then. I go take my makeup off, get out of my suit, jump in the car, drive back home here to my place in LA, and put on Sunday night football. But then, so jack, I got five TVs. Sunday night football on in the big screen. That's a

70-incher. These are 50-inchers flanking here. I'll put NFL network highlights show on there. The SPN's highlights over here. Over on the far screens, I'll have news and then like a movie. Marvel movie or a Star Wars movie on mute that I've already seen before. And I can still have all of that

“stimulation. And that's how I unwind after as well. More TV. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. That's a perfect”

Sunday. That's undoubtedly why I'm single. And no one will ever have it. That's there as their host. Listen, that's a perfect Sunday to you just described. I also, it's dawning on me now, you might be the only person in crackly from wrong who isn't upset when they do, because we gripe about this all the time. When the NFL does a schedule where it's like eight games early, three games late, that's probably good for you to be able to to pace the day. I hate it. I think

it always leaves us wanting more in the afternoon. And if one or two of those games are blowout,

we're just stuck with it. That's where you come in and you can get us back and forth. But do you like that? Or would you like there to be more even on a Sunday? Yeah. So I reached over here because that is grabs something to show your audience here. When the schedule release comes out, I always say this. All politics and schedule releases are local, right? Mm-hmm. The coaches look for who do we play week one, right? The players look for the by week or cold weather games in

December, right? The red zone hosts looks for, oh, you haven't. The splits. Yeah. So we've got all week. Week one, early window is eight, late window is four. I literally make this on the day, the schedule gets released. And obviously we got some blanks because the flexes and stuff that

“happened in mid to late December there. But that's how I look at the schedule. And four games”

in the late window is fine. It's fine. It feels slow to his death. Death. Yes. Okay. So you agree with us. All right. So that's good. Like I see the 73 Sundays and I'm like, man, I wish we had an extra game there because he just run the risk of like if one of these games is a blowout. Yeah. And it

always, to us, our Sundays, our similar yours were real come in and we're in the office and we have

all the games on. And it's like the the anticipation and excitement when the first games kick off and you ride that wave. And then that hat and then you crash a little bit at the end of the witching hour. And then the card was come on. Yeah. Yeah. And then the cardinals are, you know, 20 piece and the seahawks are beaten up on someone and you're like, man, I want another game. I stand up for the entire early window. You know, when that crash hits, when you're on the couch, maybe,

you know, catching some Caesar, whatever, and maybe some of the higher profile teams are playing in that late window, I sit down for the first time. Yeah. When I sit out the energy kind of changes

guys. I'm sure you've explained to your audience why it's that way. Because people tell me,

you've got 12 games on red zone week one. Yeah. I isn't it six, six. Let me just explain it if the audience doesn't know it. Please, yeah. The reason is because the NFL wants a pseudo national game in the late window. We all notice that the game in a three game late window in the middle of October is going to feature, I don't want to name teams that are lower. Well, it's going to be your low profile team in a smaller market versus low profile or team in as far market, same same. And then

Giants Cowboys kills chiefs, right with Romo and Nance or Nance or Romo or whoever is broadcasting that kind of stepped on that one a little bit. You know, the national game and they want to deliver one huge audience to a swath large swath of the country for their partnership with CBS and Fox.

“So that's why there is lesser inventory in the late window. Yeah, it makes sense.”

Here's what I'm going to complain about because we just want more football and also my dream

my dream would be to have a slightly staggered start times like college football where it was we had weren't central time in Chicago. Like a noon kickoff, a 130 kickoff. So you like you never stop. You know, like there will always be that random time where one of the games will go on overtime or weather delay and you'll get that like bonus game in the afternoon. It's like, oh, this game's still going on. I love it. So I wish we were a little more staggered.

Well, they did create the Sunday morning specials for us. Here is the entire NFL. Look at this. In grid form, the white and black rectangles are red zone games. That's Sunday,

one o'clock, four o'clock. Any color on there is a standalone national game or an international

location broadcast. So that's a visual representation of what it, what it looks like there. Did you make that yourself or did you have somebody print that up for you? One of the great chapset NFL media research kind of puts that out for us. I'll send an image on line or send it to you. If you like, I love it. Yeah. I laminated mine because, you know, I live by it for the next five months. It's great. Yeah, we got a guy like that here at Jeftie Lowe. He

“puts everything in grid format. Laminates everything. That's how he keeps track of everything. I think”

you and him will get along really well. I want to go into something that I hear all the time about you, which is like, all right, just in general, there should be a red zone for blank. It's almost like you can take any sport and people like, oh, there should be a red zone for hockey. There should be a red zone for baseball. How many different sports and things like election night have heard, there should be a red zone for election night. How many different ones have you been pitched and

are there any that you would actually be interested in doing if somebody could put them together? That's a great question. And I think I've heard all of them. I've actually participated in some. I am, I am the prime time host of gold zone for NBC and peacock for the Olympics every two years. I did the Paris games for a summer and then just did the Milan Cortina games and gold zone is what you think it is. It is red zone for the Olympics, right? 30 different events going on in

15 different venues. Let's take it a wherever. And that's fun. It's a little harder to memorize it's just lava skittish vealies stats than it is Patrick Mahomes's, but gold zone for the Olympics is been a good one. The other major team sports, though, guys, it's not conducive to it. The secret

“sauce for red zone, honestly, is the 42nd play clock because I can get you to Dallas and show you”

what that press got just did and sneak in a Jordan love highlight and then maybe even something else from Detroit or wherever and get you back for the next cowboy snap and you didn't miss anything. These ball can't do that. Basketball hockey can't do that. College football now is very intrigued. Yeah, especially with the NFL, I don't know if this is super publicly known, but with the NFL Disney merger, Disney ESPN got the rights to the red zone brand. So if they want to start

college red zone and call it college red zone, they're able to. I'm in. Yeah, I'm in. Yes. Right? Yes. A little different feel because when you bounce from Lions Packers to Giants Eagles, right? It's it's big, big, all that. You might be bouncing from Michigan or Ohio State to

fans would find it and I think it would find an audience. Yeah. How are we doing this? You guys

got to use suggestions because if I'm looking at green zone here, if it makes money, there you go. Yeah. I'll try out for it. Yeah. College football would be great. I would love to watch that. Baseball is very tough to do. Basketball would be interesting just because it's almost like the March madness you cut in live. How it used to be when way back in the day, when you only could watch one March madness game and they would cut into it. But yeah, football is built for it.

How are we doing Scott? I know the last time we had John, I might have had a gripe or two about gambling at a kid. How are we doing with that? I know that most people don't care, but I do think there is a, you know, there could be a blowout and you're not giving us the same juice when a score happens that hits the over or a score happens that covers a spread like those are those are important. Well, look at you guys knew when it was years ago, when when we had that discussion,

I had a little bit of handcuffs on. Of course, you couldn't even have had an embraced gambling yet. Now, the NFL has multiple gaming partners. And of course, you know, the the tail follows the dog, I'm allowed to say things more overtly than I would before. I will say this. I mean, we were presented by draft king's sports book for the last few years, right? The title sponsor. I will look at something when a crazy play happens at the end of a game. I'll look at my

right hand man, Tim Galonians. And I'll be like, was that off camera, off microphone? Was that a bad beat? Because I want to, I want to say something about it. Like, I don't gamble. I don't even look at the points, friends. To be honest, I don't want that in my head. But if it's on the back side, where I know my audience is howling about it at home. Like, oh my God, they kicked a field goal. They could have just took a knee and they kicked a field goal instead. And that pushed it over or whatever,

I want to, I want to at least give a nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Yeah, we're with you. We understood

“what that consequence was. Right. You kick it over. Yeah. That's what we need. Yeah. Yeah, but I'm not”

going to, but it's not gambling zone. It's not, it's not, it's not gambling zone. I like, because I think that people should be able to watch football and if they don't gamble, they should have an outlet that does not focus on that because they'll be able to hook a trust me. If you were gambling on the games, you can figure it out on your own if it was a bad beat. Yeah. If there's a 35 to three game, 35 to three in the fourth quarter, we're not showing it.

Unless a guy does a cartwheel, a 360 spin in lands backwards in the end zone, we're not showing a play from that game. Wow. But if the team is 35 to three in the numbers, 38 and a half, the other team decides to put a field goal at the end. It doesn't mean anything to any football, but I get it. It's, yeah, you know, significant to some as our friends got.

Yeah. Football first and then whenever there's, you know, a moment, it looks like,

“hey, this doesn't matter. It does matter to some. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. All right. I think you”

don't want to talk. Big cat. Big cat. Yeah. You have all people. Yeah. No. How influential you are to red zone as an entity and a production. You know what I'm talking about. Are you saying whitching out, whitching out where was Francis? I will not, I will not take credit for you. You pushed it. I might have, yes. Yes. Yes. And it is truly, we have the actuality. I told you that I will, I'll call it the whitching hour. Yes. We could, we would have the flag pull.

And it is. It truly is. We say it in the, like in the gambling cave, we will get to that moment on Sunday with like, here we go, whitching hour. And you'll just feel like you said the energy shift where game start to flip. And all this team looks like they're in control. And now they're not. And it's like anything can happen in the whitching hour. It really is the most chaotic hour of everyone's week. It's the best. Yeah. It's the best hour in sports TV. And if there's a better one,

show it to me because I'll, I'll watch it. But it's, it's the best hour in sports TV. And hey, props to Francesa, I've heard his sound bite of being with Brett Musburger and Jimmy the Greek and all that back in the day and whatnot and doing that thing. And props, if that's where it came from.

“But yeah, it's in the, it's in the zeitgeist now. It's not going anywhere. I think we gave it some,”

some turbo juice to, to bring it to a new audience. And it does, you, you do, you say it at just the right time. Yeah. Every week. It does feel like that's right when I start to lose. I hear you go on the screen. I'm like, this mother, everything goes to. Yeah. Right. When you say, yeah, can I tell you that we have a bit of a formula? We don't do the witching hour by wristwatch.

I know. No. It's not. Yeah. This is probably the first time I'm saying this in public.

So, this is a good one. Thank you. Yeah. It's not. No, I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm very into this break. You want to guess as to how we determine when we should say the witching hour? Do you want to guess?

Basically. Okay. If we have an eight game early window, my producer and I shout out Todd Mossberg,

“Mossy. Great. Best in the biz. Mossy and I will be like, all right. We got eight games. Four of them”

have just hit zeroes at the end of the third quarter. Or one's already there. When we get about half of the games in any given window into the fourth quarter or at the end of the third quarter, commercial break, we're like, let's start. Let's look. Can we call it the witching hour in the next 90 seconds or so? But what we're trying to do on the back side? Because when we do witching hour, I go to the scoreboard, ladies and gentlemen, eight games going up across the national football league,

five of them are one possession games in Detroit, in New England, in Miami, in Atlanta, and in wherever Kansas City. And it's the witching hour. When wins become losses and losses become wins, boom, we want to cut to one of those games that's a one possession game in the fourth quarter so our director, Dustin Stern, has to be looking at the off ramp for the witching hour. You would think it's just a simple thing. No. Yeah. Getting the fourth quarter. No, it's it's a

it is air traffic control trying to line up all the pieces to the right, right place. But that's how we call the witching hour, how we determine what it is. Yeah. There are text threads across the world. And the NFL imports red zone that every country that gets NFL football. In fact, this is the number one way to watch football in a lot of foreign countries. I'm told there are text threads around the world that explode when they say, if you're doing laundry or whatever,

get your to the couch and it's called the witching hour. Yeah. So now the couch watching TV is

“our number one export. Yeah. As Americans with it, we're damn proud of it. That's what we do”

better than anybody. Well, we're the best in the world. Come at us, bro. How sick were you

changing the channel with a remote back in the day? Is this something that you always had that skill?

You know, the first NFL red zone episode ever. I called my mom up and I'm like, mom, you know, I'm hosted this new show red zone. I think this could be a vehicle for my career. So she only watches football, like when I'm involved with it or something like that. So she watches and she's and I call her up on my isn't it awesome? Isn't it sweet? We jump her up? She's like, Scott, you act like you haven't been doing this since you were five years old. She goes, you don't remember.

You would watch the living room television with a game. Then you would drag your dad's TV from the den with a cable swinging behind it and try and get a different game on that next to

“the family room TV. And then you go on the radio. I'm an old man. So I go back to when you were”

finding games on radio, try and get a different game. And then you'd have a magazine and a news paper in front of you the whole time it. And you would say, I'm like, yeah, you know, that's right,

Bob, I actually did use to do that. So yeah, I guess I've always been slick with it when it comes

to football multitasking. Yeah, you're demon. And every year there's, you know, the NFL changes, which is what makes it so beautiful. Why we love it so much? Are there any names that are keeping you up at night? Any new names? Oh, so I didn't miss any new names. Like, player names that you're going to be called to say on this question. If they score a touchdown, standby, standby. So me, Mr. Laminator, your, your buddy, low, what was his name? Oh, yeah,

Jeff. Yeah. Jeff. Yeah. Okay. No, I actually know Jeff. Oh, Laminator, here's your first round of the NFL draft, right? Yeah. Yeah. And who have I, who have I been stuck on? The, um, the Penn State Guard, first pick of the Baltimore Ravens Vega. I got it. I got my, uh, phonetics over on the other computer here. I, I, I own a, I forget his name. Um, yeah, there's a couple of first rounders that I know I'm going to be doing. They got to make plays for a little while. Uh, the Arizona State offensive

tackle. Uh, I, I, I got, I got, I got a, I got a, yeah, I got, I got, I got, I got worked. It's alright. It's been a season for, for red zone two. Preseason bro, and I will be there, or, or I'll just say his first name if I have him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just, initials work, too. How are, is there a certain team that you, like, in studying and everything that you're, like, extra excited to have, you know, this season and be like, this team that I expect

to be explosive? Yeah. I mean, there's a couple of teams. It's the NFL. So nobody knows nothing. If you would have had me on this show 365 days ago, and I go, guys, guys, I got this. I've run the numbers. It's Seahawks Patriots and the Super Bowl. Right. So, so yeah, you did look mailing up nuts. So, nobody knows nothing. However, teams where the offensive talent seems to outweigh the defensive talent are grist for the mill when it comes to red zone. So I'm looking at the Dallas

Cowboys, when they're on red zone, they're on national TV as much as you can be, right? But when

our team that is going to score 31 points of game, whether they give up 30 or 32 points of

game is the question of their win-loss record. Uh, Detroit Lions a little bit like that. Their defense suffered tons of injuries last year, but the offense is capable of putting up numbers. I kind of look at those teams and I'm like, yeah, we're going to see them on red zone in the red zone on offense. Put up numbers with some exciting fantasy players should be kind of fun. Yeah. Do you have bears are in that category, by the way, bad defense. Good offense.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They lived on turnover last year, but yeah. And that's cyclical. We all know that's cyclical. You cannot expect that to happen this year, although they're ahead of schedule

“by all accounts. They'll be a fun year in Chicago. Do you have any any statistics for the red zone?”

For like the players names that you've said the most, like who scored the most, the most red zone channel touchdowns? Because we've got some great players obviously that play in the NFL since year on the air, but I think a lot of them they end up playing a large amount of prime time games. Yeah. For national audiences, that's sort of thing. So I was just curious if there were any deep dives and like, you know, deep statistics about the best players in the, the one PM games.

Yeah. I, I'll have to hit up. I don't have the answer off the top of my head, and I don't have any stats right available to me right here. But Tim Galonians, Brian Lairvee, my right hand men that literally sit next to me with their computers. They have spreadsheets going back years, and they could tell you how many touchdowns were scored in week four of 2012, right? The player's names. I think Tim maybe did it. I want to say it's like Derek Henry is up there.

CMC is one of the leading touchdown scores we've ever had. Because we started in 2009. This is season 18 for us. So you got to think of longevity of career and an excellent player over the longer course of that. I think it was Derek Henry is the player that scored the most touchdowns on NFL Red Zone over the course of our course of our show. I'll check though.

I'm Grant Kowski was up there for a while all the Patriots. Always had tons of

prime time games. Yeah. The usual suspects quite frankly. Yeah. Well Scott, this has been awesome. I got one last question for you. It's a roback question. RHOBACK.com, promo code take, 20% off your first purchase, QSips, Polos, hoodie joggers, shorts, a roback.com, promo code take.

“Your excitement has me just like, I'm ready to go. That's awesome. That's why you're so good at your job.”

You sound like full. Like getting you, you just being on the show right now and just being excited has me just fucking amped up for that first Sunday. I've thought about it. We actually are in our gambling cave. We, we are getting new couches and I held off putting in the new couches until the first Sunday. So we're going to have a whole experience of like, hey, we're walking in,

let's go over. Yeah. It's especially to get in there someday. I'll never get in there on a red zone

Sunday. But if if there's a March man does something, I'll get my butt there. I would, I've watched your socials. Yeah. I would love to do it. It would be awesome. All right, Zach, you're up. You got a question for Scott. I do. Scott, I do have a quick question for you. With the most two decades of red zone coverage under your belt. Have you converted any other aspects of your life to like strictly, you know, highlight bases? Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one. Um,

what sometimes this is so bizarre. Sometimes if I'm not more much of a cook, but when I cook,

“I'll look at my stovetop with four burners and I'll be like, oh, quadbox. Honestly, like, it's like”

stupid stuff like that. It me. Uh, I do a lot of shout out videos like on cameo and whatnot. And I get asked to do like bachelor parties and weddings and stuff like that. So NFL wed zone is a, is a term that I've coined that, uh, and there was a woman who incorporated allowing her husband to watch red zone in her wedding vows during at the altar, right? So it's, it's seeped into every area of my life and a lot of, a lot of fans lives, too. I love that. Yeah, good with Zach. I like that. I love that. Good

question, Zach. Well, Scott, thank you. Scott, good luck this season. We'll be watching, uh, we love everything you do and, uh, thanks for coming on. You really do sound like football. Yeah, it's like the pop of love's dog thing. Like I hear you and I want pizza and I want to be like screaming at a TV somewhere, like I, I'm, I'm back in, I'm back in. Yeah, 12 days boys, 12 days. Yeah, I love the tweets, too, the two Sundays, two Sundays while I'm in. Get the fire up for us back. Thanks, guys. Thank you, Scott.

Scott hits and was brought to you by Morgan and Morgan, also sponsoring Firefest the week. It's

need somebody to kick a field goal, maybe don't hire defensive back to do it. They might be too athletic. Won't be able to kick the ball correctly. You don't want to make the wrong hire.

For more information, go to forthepeople.com/pmt or dial pound law. That's pound five two nine from your phone. That's a paid advertisement. All right, Firefest a week. Hank. Yeah. You got anything good? Yes. Decent one. Yeah. Tuesday night, parcel after dark. We did a field goal kicking stream. You were great.

“That's what you got injured. Yeah, I was like probably over 50 percent on my first 20.”

Probably. And then I got dead foot. I hit a nerve or something on the top of my foot. Yeah. Essentially, how I described it is like if you tap your left foot, tap your right foot,

I could tap my left foot. I could not lift up my toes with my right foot. I could lift my knee.

I could walk fine, but it's like, you know, if you're, if you're touched, hand falls asleep, your life falls asleep. Like you can, you know it's there, but I couldn't feel anything on my foot. Specifically like lifting up my toes, my tutsies. Yeah. And I was driving home afterwards. It was late. And I pulled into my building, into the garage, slowed down. And I like, you know, went to go transfer from gas to break. And I, when you,

I realized this after the fact, but obviously like driving is a lot of just lifting up your toes, switching from one to the other. That's a fact. And I, like, my, my, my, my brain was like,

“hey, lift up your toe. My toe was dead. My foot was dead. It did not respond quick enough. And I, like,”

I was going slow. I was going like five miles an hour. But I did not stop quick enough. And just like, I, I, I budged, I hit my garage. I hit the garage building. And then with your car with my car. That's crazy. Car was fine. No damage to my car. Just ran into something in the parking lot. The garage, the garage went up. And then it wouldn't come back down. The guy that was in the garage was was was, was, you know, freaking out the maintenance guide already left. Spent like 45 minutes with him

trying to figure out how to get the garage door down. And then I was, and then the next day they fixed it. But I talked to my building like, oh, yeah, we have the garage people coming also. They might have been some damage to the roof. So we have the roof people coming. Oh, no, let you know what the bill is. But later, like, the garage people came and fixed it real quick. I have not gotten the bill yet, but I don't think I was worried they're going to have to like completely take the garage down,

put up a new garage door. Like there was no visual damage to the garage door. But it just wasn't, it was not, like, it's an automatic garage. And it was going up. Right. It was not coming down. So you hit the garage door and broke the garage door of your building with like hundreds of people in it. For like, probably, it, it was fixed the next morning. Like, if I broke my garage door, the only person who didn't convenience is me and my wife. Well, there's two garage doors. Oh,

yeah, there's an end in and out. But don't go in. Well, no, some, I get, it's happened before where they're, they're doing maintenance or whatever. Like, they just, they turn it into a, you know, in and out. They just, everyone has, everyone goes out. They combine it. But the next morning, everything was fixed. So it was not, I was, I was worried that I was going to be, like, a long term. Right. Damage thing that I was going to get. People would start talking, like,

who did this? Oh, it was a guy with a dead, like, there's only like eight hours. You're saying.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So it was like, it was like 11 o'clock at night. It seemed basically like the,

by the time the maintenance guy came back the next morning. Like, it was, it was fixed pretty quickly. So why again, did you drive into your door? I dead foot. I thought it was dead from kicking.

“I don't even have it right here. Did you think about taking your other foot and using it on the break?”

And hindsight, I should have done that. How did you get home? I can lift my leg. So I just wasn't, it was just like, I wasn't when I was driving. I was lifting my leg. And I just, you know, kind of, it was a, it's a short term. This might be what happened with the song. Yeah. Look, look at the video that that he sent to me. You can see his left foot. He can, he can tap at the whole time. And then he tries to go to his right foot. Nothing. Yeah. But he lifts it.

Yeah. Now, can you tap? No. Yeah. So that's the best he could do with his right foot.

in my life before. What you're describing is not like, it's not super uncommon, but

“you usually have to kick a lot more than just how many of you just kicked like 11 for 20? 11 for 20?”

Yeah. Pretty dead foot. Yeah. It's not like it's nervous. It's just like your ligaments are tired. Your

foot was just tired. Yeah. I'm not a foot based athlete. I never played soccer. Never played football.

Never kicked in my life. So I kind of knew I was going to be bad. Kicking and I was actually pretty good until my foot died. You're 11 for 20. Yeah. Basically, it's good as Max is what you told me. In the beginning, yeah. We were like neck and neck. Is that true, Max? Max was actually pretty good. We all were. Max was pretty good. That was okay. Hey, I've also never kicked a field goal before in my life. Hey, you were so lucky that Rico was there.

But yeah, I mean, even if Rico wasn't there, our team would have won. Like, I was getting them in the through the operates. I guess I'll never know until my foot died. Yeah. But the last year, the last 30, I was, I was still trying to kick them. I was being a warrior.

“You are a warrior. Made a lot worse. You must have been doing some weird form. I don't understand”

how that happened. What were you doing to get that result? I was hitting, I think I just hit, like, I don't know how the nerves on the top of your feet work. But I was, I was hitting. He's got weak. My legs are cooked, right? You were kicking, you were kicking toe balls. I was trying to kick like a kicker. He's got weak ankle muscles. That's the, there's no nerves. He didn't hit. The guard, yeah, his foot's just weak. Yeah. The feeling is back where we're, we're weak guy. Yeah,

we're not weak feet, weak touchies. Yeah, not a, I'm not a foot-based foot-based athlete.

Yeah. Never will be. Twenty kicks. You're not into feet. Twenty kicks.

We don't have an over 50%. Over 50%. Until you got hurt. And tell the dead about that. But then you kept kicking, and those stats unfortunately do count too. Right, but not, you know, it's all asterious. So what are those stats? I besides breaking one garage. I'd have to look it up. That's, we're talking about getting into some deep numbers here because most people just take the original loving for 20 when Hank was before he heard himself.

“Right. Like it was like 11 to 50 or something. 11 for 50? Yeah, I think it was about 11 for 50.”

So yeah. Was it? So you didn't make another kick? 22%. No. And you broke garage. Temporarily, yeah. Temporary break. All right, let's see. What was the number? Go back. So you, did you stop kicking? Oh, so you were 11 for 46. So you, my foot died. 20, that's 26. Yeah. That's 26 kicks of heart. I was kicking with my heart.

Can you go back a little more? Do you make sure that he was actually 11 for 12? I don't think they were updating it. And they weren't. Actually, I have no idea. Yeah, no, they weren't. All right. So he's three for 14 there. That's before you hurt yourself. That's before you hurt yourself. Okay. Three for 14. That's unfortunate that we found that. Yeah. Three for 14. I like the narrative. But that also means that he made. Oh, eight. No, you can't go from three for 14 to 11 for 20.

That's actually impossible. Yeah, that matters. Fuzzy math. But it does sound like Hank got better. The more hurt he got. Yeah. You just weren't hurt enough, buddy. So you weren't hurt for three for 14, correct?

Yeah, but it took I had never kicked before. So it took me like probably five to I was also seven for nine at this point. Okay. Oh, three for six.

Okay, all right. So maybe that's when I got it. Yeah, that's actually done. We got to see. Yeah, the stats on if they updated them. There you go right there. That is three for 11. Okay, you're getting worse. And then you were trying to find it. Oh, here we go. Here's one. Where do you go? Where do you go? Here we go.

Six for 21. That's not bad. So 11 for 20 was not was never never happened. That was rough. Yeah. That was tough. That happened to be just one over 50%. So we're just thinking back to the first six kicks. Literally the first six. You got 50%. You were three for six and then you're like, oh my foot died. Yeah, again, just from overuse from kicking the ball six times. But then yeah, like 25 kicks of heart. The heart, all of them made and a garage. Yeah, and then you drove into your house and possibly a roof.

How did you damage the roof? I don't know. Like, yeah, we got the garage guy coming in the roof guys. I was like, uh,

send it up into the roof. Yeah, reverberated. Yeah. So no one could leave you. You trapped everybody in

Europe. Oh, there you go. That was your 11 11 for 36. Well, that was post to injury. Yeah, yeah. That's when it was all hard. You had been walking around telling everyone to go to here 11 for 20. Yeah,

“it's really good. You have to see what you're far from us. I've had a pretty good week.”

Mine is is the other side of that coin where I feel like dangerously good. It's been probably three years since I've kicked a football. Maybe two years. I feel good after that Tuesday, ice cream to the point where like I'm ready to get back into lab. Yeah, back feels good. The fact that I survived that entire thing without pulling something. Again, we're stacking small victories right now. Yeah, but Ripoli pick up the phone because I'm go. I might not be Mr. 35 anymore.

I might be Mr. 34. Fuck it. Maybe Mr. 35. Give me some time. I'm back. I'm back as a kicker. Are you worried about a dead leg? No, my leg feels great. Okay. My leg feels, it felt

stronger. But I'm like, see, like, I didn't participate in the stream. And I'll never kick a

feel football again after hearing what Hank went through. I mean, yeah, it's deadly. Yeah. All it takes is one wrong kick. And then you're a minute behind the wheel. You've finished 84 for 87 today. No pretty. Now granted, they were, they were the old extra points. So 20 yards still. But still,

“like I feel like, and I wasn't, I wasn't trying to kick it too hard. I think that most of those”

probably could have been good from 30, which sounds awesome to say. I think I can get 35 maybe 40. You get me back in the gym, get the back still feeling good. I might be fully back. Now, this is a very dangerous thing for me to say because there's a chance at like next week. I yeah, I'm Teracquad. But we're feeling good. Rico went seven for seven. So thank God for him. Seven for 76 is so good. That's so funny. Check things. 11 for 46 isn't really that bad in comparison.

Yeah, you did okay. Okay. My firefest. It's listen, football's back excited for football to be back. I'm trying to plan to not gain weight this football season. And I know that I'm already losing the battle because last night we had wings. Tonight I'm sure we'll have some peels and pizza and have a couple of ice cream balls in the ice cream. I don't know what we're going to do, but we got to figure it out. Max and I were talking about potentially doing like dog fences, the electrical

dog fences, where we just fence off the kitchen and put on the collars. Because the problem is,

I just stand up. I go take a piss. Boom. Black out. I've had 10 weeks. Sometimes I do a thing where I go, I'm like, oh, I'm going to go make a coffee just so I can stand in there and pick while I'm making the ball. He didn't really need to put the food somewhere else. I don't hate that. Yeah. Maybe like put it somewhere that's in the back and this back kitchen

“harder to get. I love that idea. I love that idea. You have to actually what we should do.”

You have to make an intentional destination to the kitchen. There's no really long. You never you never casually walk past it by accident. You have to be going to the ice cream to get the coat of food. This could change our the future of our life. I completely agree. Just one little switch. Tell Jack, we're going to go. That's what we're going to do right now. Right now. What means? Stay your case means. Why not? Am I work for Max? Why not? I don't know why he said it.

What's it? Why is on your work for me? You. I've seen the way you eat. You pick it. You just grab. No, I don't know. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. There's not pizza. You'll just go candy here snack. Oh, you know, so they'll just eat. Yeah. No, because that got to open. No, you'll find a way. No, it's probably not going to work for either of us, but I like trying it. We should need to take out all the food of this office. What if we play basketball before Sundays?

I'm down. Listen, I'm going to try to get on the treadmill before kickoff. I've been I've been going to the gym for over two and a half days and I feel good. I feel really good. I was really good about going to the gym when I got back from the honeymoon and then the kicking happened and my legs have been in shambles ever since. So yeah, I'm not going to the gym when I'm already this store. I just would love to just do one football season where I don't gain 15 pounds.

You can do it. We can do this. I'm going to be in the best shape of my life by the football season. Same. Same. I swear to God. Same. Wait. What the fuck? What is he listening? Who? He's Jack is being did you track some? Kick him out. Kick him out. I just said we've made a decision about football food and he says nope, your fat asses can just not eat it. It's staying

Jack has a spirit in. Yeah. Tell Jack. Jerry's got something in his car. He'd like to share with you. Yeah. We can go talk to Jerry. If you want to play that game. Yeah. All right, Zach, finish off. We could just put hoodies on. No. You just speak to that. Dude, that's the problem, Zach. I know hoodies season is I'm about to buy a bunch of new hoodies and then I'm like, oh, I'm fine. You can't think like that. We have stay in front of it this year. Stay in front of it.

What happens is this conversation always happens in like November where we're like,

oh, it's gotten so bad. Let's get in front of it. Speaking of hoodies, what if we just crank the heat up wore hoodies? It's like a sauna. Yeah. We're like wrestlers. Yeah. Don't hate that. It's like a front of it. Watch and football. How do we get in front of it? It's basically a workout at that point. Yeah. And we quit after like three weeks, dude. Yeah. We're not doing that this year. That's a problem. Get married. But that's the problem is we keep doing weight loss challenges. Why don't we just

change our habits? I think the food going in the back is huge. A huge. There's no way I'm walking back there. Food's going in it. He keeps saying, no, he, I don't think he has the right to say no to this.

“Not to me. That's what I'm saying. Right. Okay. Zach. How did he, how did he know that?”

I think he just knows that we're just talking about, but he knew exactly our plan. Yeah.

All right, Zach. My, my therapist this week is, uh, I've been looking into getting me to bike guy as of yet Tuesday, really motorcycle. No, just like pedal bike or electric bike because I had a pretty sobering moment in a ride share that reminded me that strangers are strangers and you shouldn't trust everyone that you just take a ride home with. Okay. I have a great day at work. Great week, really. So this isn't too much, but hop straight into the ride share took a couple minutes to go around the

office where I got my backpack. And then the driver was just watching pornography. Oh, so it's pretty uncomfortable. What kind? I don't, I just saw like just flash of sex and I, that was it. Was it on a, on a phone? Yeah, just on a cell phone. And then he kind of shuffled. I thought about making a joke about it. It was like, let's be lighthearted. And then he just started talking about messy to sort of field. So we got past it pretty quick, but I might just be out on ride share for a

little bit. So wait, when he started talking about messy, were you like, just put the porn back on dude. I don't hate that. Because he was talking about really excited. Yeah. It's been the draw. Yeah, it's been the field. So I'm thinking about, but, so Zack, you've just had two times in the last week and a half where you have just been like sex has been thrown in your face and you're not a sex guy. Yeah, one physical though, one just like virtual virtual. That's okay. That's whatever. But yeah.

So you're going to, do you know how to ride a bike? Oh, definitely. Well, I mean, I haven't done it

a while. Oh, yeah. That's what they say. It's like riding a bike. You always know how to ride a bike. Yeah.

“Yeah. Yeah. That's what it's like. They do. I think that's what they, you haven't done. It's”

once that you moved here. Maybe what? Probably not. What's the last time you wrote a bike and ride a bike? Are you sure? I don't like where this is. Yeah, definitely. We're going to ride a bike. We're going to need to do it. We may see you ride a bike. I might go one hand. You know, I might be able to tricks on it. One hand is not hard. You're like, you have to be able to do one hand. You can tell people behind you where you're going. Yeah, I've never done like transit bike

riding. So like, I never had to experience with this. Did you like to say the regardless? That's not a trick. That's like stream prick. I was just talking though, you know, one handed. Was it the X games? Did you ever see the one? Yeah. Or the 40th Clover? You've done the, what's that? Two off top feet off the pedals. You do that? No, but you've seen that move. Yeah, I've seen it, but yeah. It's great video. Okay. So you're going to start biking so that you don't actually. Oh, yeah. This kid,

whatever. So you don't get accidentally hit with porn anymore. That's the, that's the, that's the mission. It was more such a reminder of like, oh, you're too comfortable just getting into strange cars. That was the risler. Yeah. That was the risler. That was the risler. That was an alternative. Look at badass. All right. So you're a bike guy. I mean, are you know, a very important

“question. You know what the question is. Right, not maybe. I mean, I think you should. I think I should”

do. What's it going to look very funny? Yeah, but safe. How much or no helmet? People can't drive here. I think you need to wear a helmet. I'm definitely going to wear helmet. Listen, can we put stickers on your helmet? Yeah, they're space on there. Okay. We could like, we could we could come to an agreement. Get them like a shark helmet or something. Something really cool. Oh, how move the visor? Yeah, you need a helmet. You think tentant? Yeah, you need a helmet. I don't, we can't

get you getting hurt. All right. Yeah, guys drive too crazy out here. I would like in a different place, maybe not, but here definitely going to helmet. I want to get into the ways and means of how I acquired this thing, but I did happen to acquire one of those tiny dirt bikes. Oh, yeah, those

definitely down to hold that for a little bit. Okay. How are you? I think that might be the best way

“for you to get to it for a word. If I one hand that, that's a trick though, right? That's a trick”

and firm trick. Yeah. Or no. Also, does you need a license right? I'm probably not. Okay. We're not going to look that up, so we can, we can plead the ignorance if we have to. Okay. But I'll get

it charged ready to roll for you. Let's go set, tear shit up on this thing. That's a huge

and mini bike. Hell yeah. All right, could show boys week one tune in. Boomers coming back some day night,

“get excited. We'll be streaming all weekend. Let's do numbers. Three, seven, 55, 17,”

take a minute. 80, 88. Shout out. Shout out. America's pervert. Stu finer. Yep. Self-proclaimed America's pervert life in America's pervert. Yes, you are. Are you up Shane? Shane, how's your dick feeling? How's your dick feeling? Dick's okay. Okay. Back to normal. Oh, it's just okay. Numbers, guys. Numbers 15. 15, Shane. Holden, Jacob.

This is 69. Go five for the commanders. What were you? Set 80. And then I added eight on to it. Oh, dang it dang it. So you didn't get it.

No, you mean you never fucking got me. That's fine. You admit it. I was just very open.

He just meant it. It's no command. I'm on your side.

“47. I do. If you locked in, I do that every single up. Lock in that. Get you, Max. You need to”
