Ravens 20 Friday uh September 6th and God damn it the Chiefs did it again football is a game of inch ah it was uh it was a sloppy game it was the classic NFL we have a new rule that we don't tell anyone about that we're going to you know strictly enforce kind of only for one side in the Ravens uh and and make the game as clunky as possible but the game persevered and we had an alltime ending with the Ravens almost winning or almost almost tying or they were going to go for two uh but Isaiah likeley who is a dog absolute dog thought his shoulder was separated on two plays before I think what happened was he landed on it I think it dislocated they popped it back in and he was like let me back in the game dog cuz he was killing people in blocks over 100 yards receiving but his toe is just a little bit too big and uh the Chiefs they did it again they start the season they're one and0 they looked good Z well that's the thing is they've got they got a guy that's going to be a problem for everybody and we said it on draft night we're like how do the Bills let this happen yeah I'm Keon Coleman better be really good he better be better he better score three touchdowns because Xavier Worthy is incredible uh and they just have so much speed yet again and it feels like and peo and peo who never gives up he never gives up tackling it's like tackling a pillowcase filled with elbows yeah it's just like he doesn't stop running he'll just hit you he doesn't appear to be the biggest guy in the world he doesn't get tired they do a good job of of saving him too like the first half a lot they won't run Pacho that much and then that's PCO time yeah he was he was a monster and uh yeah the Chiefs I mean they it looks like what we thought going into to the season but it it proved true tonight and I the Ravens made a ton of mistakes but it looks like the Chiefs might like that was better than what we saw regular season Chiefs in terms of their offensive weapons yeah like remember last year when the first what three months of the Season it was like does Patrick Mahomes have anyone to throw to yeah does he does he like anybody in that locker room it was it's crazy thinking that they upgraded they went from cadarius Tony to Xavier worthy it's like they played all last season with a lead batting donut and now they're up at the plate and they can actually swing it's nuts that was some good coward right there you like that you like that analogy yeah I think it's true though they played on expert mode last year and now they're like okay I'm just going to chill I'm going to smoke a little weed and let's just put it on like rookie yeah we proved to everyone we could win the hard way let's just go back to doing it the easy way now I do think the Ravens I mean that was as sloppy as sloppy gets for the Ravens because they look like they hadn't practiced they were getting delay G every single time they were getting I don't know if the calls were coming in late but the Lamar was snapping the ball with one second left uh he was missing big throws they ran their field goal team out on the field then brought him back out they also they also did last year AFC Championship game like hey if the Ravens just run the ball they win this game they come out first quarter they ran it a little and then it felt like it was just for that the middle two quarters was just a flurry of Z flowers uh like three yard screens and having their offensive line never get to go forward and start like trying to lean on the Chiefs what happened was they they found out pretty early on that they couldn't run the ball up the middle that well and so after that they they tried some stuff on the outside some like pitches some reverses and tried to work the outside edges on them and then that worked a little bit and then they just never went back to even trying you got to establish the run and Lamar was great I mean Lamar was great running the ball he he missed like a couple thr there was a I mean that he missed the guy before the likely uh out of bounds play the second last play I don't know who that was in the middle of the field he missed there was that back-to-back plays where he missed someone uh deep and then missed him on the sideline I just yeah it was it was a it was a great game it was a crazy game there's two things I know about football one you have to establish the run and two you have to run the damn ball and three you got lean on Nei and then yeah lean on them get your boys going down but it was one of those situations where it felt like the the offensive line for the Ravens had no chance to go forward for a good portion of the game where it was just they were blocking forever for Lamar or they were trying to block in space on the outside it's also hard to go forward when you line up like a yard off the line of scrimmage which again we saw in this exact game or it was the Lions last year but it was Lions Chiefs in week one you saw guys lined up way deeper at tackle that they weren't flagging at all this was a secret point of emphasis to call illegal formation and now I don't even think that the reps are going to have to call it for the rest of week one like sometimes they call it week one for everybody they set such a tone calling the illegal formation that I don't think they're going to have to call it down the line and there was I felt like 3ars of the time that they showed Harbaugh on the sidelines he had that look on his face the look that he gets when it's like he found out that his son got like locked up in jail he's like what the what the [ __ ] going on it it was just like he was he seemed like he was befuddled the Ravens the Ravens yeah the Ravens were like discombobulated pretty much it every single offensive possession even the ones that worked felt like they never were there was never smoothness to him I guess their first drive was nice but there's never a smoothness to their offense it always felt erratic and weird and play like I said plays coming in late yeah Lamar did look faster though now that he's minus 20 pounds and I I was trying to think how Lamar lost 20 lbs it was right in front of her face this entire time he just had diarrhea all yeah for sure that's just that's just butt weight that he got rid yeah yeah so uh still like as as much as some of that game was frustrating to watch because it did feel right off the bat that the refs were like Hey we're everyone's here to watch us still the best it's awesome still the best I mean that end of the game was was electric I was so happy watching football tonight I I tell myself that like I can get through the off season and that I enjoy watching these other sports a lot which I do but then when football hits it's like Daddy's home it's a drug yeah like I need it and we get more tomorrow and we get more all weekend also um Taylor Swift looked good yeah I thought so liked her boots yep like those are good boots really good boots said boots with a t yeah b o TS look good yeah Travis has the mustache it's looking good haircut a lot of people looking good yeah everyone a lot of guys looking good A lot of girls looking good Harrison bucker looked good yeah he looked good he's hitting bombs Justin Tucker might be washed yeah can't hit 50 yarders anymore bucker is making some good points yeah he was listen he was hitting some some bombs I uh I don't think we've ever done a should we do a Thursday night game ball I have I have somebody that I would like to give the Thursday night game ball to to Swift no crocky J yeah Croy J knew that we knew Carson steel was going to be a star I didn't think that they were going to put him like front and center in the week one broadcast but God Dam I love crocky J yeah what's not to love Mac Legend and maybe the cool well what's funny he went from the Mac to UCLA Ball State UCLA he should have gone uccla to Ball State yeah that would have made him a lot cooler yeah he's got a all-time football guy name he owns a crocodile he is by far the coolest Carson on that team who's the other Carson Carson went oh yeah Carson Wentz is on that team Carson wents his on that team yeah I saw the side of his face tonight it should have been rated tvma he should have warned me before they should blur out his face on the sideline I also learned something tonight I I think I knew it but I just didn't ever really piece it together but that woman with the puppets she she's like a 30-year Legend um I had some Chiefs fans being like you don't know bald it's like yeah I don't know your celebrity fans but she rocks well I know one I know one celebrity fan of the Chiefs Chief unfortunately 17 years 17 and 1 12 years in prison federal prison do you think he watched tonight well it's in Kansas so it's the same place that Mike Vic went for the for the lorth puppy issue yeah it's really bad when you know the names of the town where the federal prison is yeah there lenworth and then there's one in the Rockies I'm trying to remember it's the one that the max super El Chapo and the unibomber yeah lenworth is not should go too yeah when you know lenworth um but he's uh Chiefs holic is requesting to be transferred to Illinois oh to whatever federal prison is up here maybe Chief saholic was the magic behind the Chiefs run and maybe he moves to Illinois and then the bears go on a little run that would be nice that would be nice but yeah 17 years um okay anything else before we do our game preview so we taped that earlier uh let's kick it to ourselves for the weekend preview

I love the order that comes along the football season it really puts your life into a a a routine correct the routine is uh watch the news and read articles on Monday if your team wins on Tuesday that's when you watch the sports clips and all the debate shows read the articles if your team loses then on Wednesday you think about what's going to happen on Thursday what your BET's going to be then on Thursday you forget to update your fantasy team then on Friday you make plans for Saturday Saturday you make plans for Sunday Sunday you watch football and then Monday the cycle repeats itself I was going to say it's as simple to me as that just every week has a just big dangling carrot at the end I'm just excited about every single weekend and for someone who doesn't really have a social life father of three all that [ __ ] every weekend now has importance to me well you know what else happens during football season Thursday becomes Friday you got a new Friday every week is basically a 4day and when Maxin comes back Tuesday is Friday and yeah and already you've got Monday which is already Friday still no Monday is Sunday now Monday is Monday is just just like a beautiful Comedown that you just I love Monday Night Football uh just a reminder for any new listeners Max doesn't watch Monday Night Football uh I love Monday Night Football yeah yeah no you do you don't watch Monday Night Football remember that Max doesn't watch Monday Night Football I forgot about that yeah Max does not watch Monday Night Football because he says there's just too much football and he doesn't he's like a he's like a porn star that won't have sex can you imagine that Hank can you imagine one of our producers on this show saying they would skip an entire day of football crazy crazy it's nuts not us but yeah you we watch every second of Thursday becomes Friday Friday is still Friday Saturday is Friday Sunday becomes Saturday Monday becomes Sunday M it's such a beautiful time of year and we're back all right so uh like every year uh we're going to go through every single game little preview then we're going to do our picks all five of us oh hey's already dreading the pcks no no no no no back in there I had a funny thought so what's the uh what's what's the punishment this year I don't know we got to figure it out it should be Super Bowl New Orleans related yeah um pitch a perfect game pitch a perfect game in what MLB MLB okay um it should be Super Bowl New Orleans related New Orleans known for their MLB baseball yep um 70 yard field goal 70 yard field goal okay you're just spitball in here you're comp's upset about the nine Darter yeah he's upset about the nine Darter but you could lose this too Hank yeah all I'm trying to yeah equal expectation well Hank you're also the one that said that you were going to set yourself up to be able to dunk so you're really making impossible challenges for yourself too I will dunk what's harder dunking for you are throwing a nine Darter the nine Darter that's impossible dunking is happen I think you'll be able to do the nine Darter within three days mhm dunking it's taken three years still not there still not there um all right well maybe AWS can help us out we we need a punishment for last place and are we doing second place it's a little bit different now cuz there only five of us so second place I feel like it's just a last place punishment about last place and then second to last gets the equivalent of what the second place was where it's like the punishment but just like kind of half of it or what about last place and second place gets a prize first place doesn't yeah cuz cuz then it keeps it competitive what if what if uh it's some sort of a hat situation but it's not a hat first place gets to pick which punishment last place has to do or second place does no no first place gets to choose what punishment last place has to do based off of like four options depending on who it is but second place gets nothing I like the second place just because it keep steak knives well it keeps everyone in it because you know that like if someone runs away with it and someone Falls really behind there's nothing left second place the odds are if you have a second and fifth place there will always be content coming at the end first place gets to determine which event the second place person has to do and which person which event the last place person has to do okay okay and we need we need the punishment so awls let us know maybe something we can stream in New Orleans wrestling and alligator yeah wrestling alligator is not bad no no Max uh spending an entire week with meny in New Orleans shadowing meny 24 hours on Bourbon Street shadowing meny for 5 days 24 hours on Bourbon Street can't go to sleep just go homeless for a day I that sounds get drunk yeah but it would [ __ ] you up for yeah Super Bowl I like the idea of staying in like an airbn be with miny and like eating all your meals with them yeah oh my God like hour by hour reporting on what mincy does yours underst study for a week that's I think that's a good one that is not a bad one second place has to eat only jumbalaya all week I could tell Big Cat didn't like it because he just he moved on from it but that's no but that's just because you really don't want to do it no it has nothing to do that it's more that I don't want to pay for mincy to go to like we're basically giving you don't think he's going to be there be no he's going to be there on his own dime but like we're basically giving him uh like his best content idea ever and he doesn't have to do anything he just gets a free place that's his best content I know but I I've been trying to wean myself off that well how about we do none of that during the season good content is good content yeah it's a good point Hank yeah listen it's gonna be you Hank yeah probably yeah did I lose this last year but Hank's just going to go to sleep the whole time yeah you did lose serious Hank are you serious did stand up oh are you okay you just memory hold that well no I just I I have lost so many of these I forget which thing is for which thing but I assumed it was yeah yeah you're also you're on a Sugar Rush right now from Uncrustables yeah your brain you're you're overdosing on unrust all right we'll figure it out uh show send us any ideas anything fun we could do uh but we'll figure it out we'll have something fun uh okay we ready to get into it boys what about get a c we haven't done that one in a while yeah that's true I'm allergic to cats so that's better content that's just life yeah I mean it would be funny if you had to get a cat Max and you're allergic a hyper allerg would you get a cat yeah I mean I'm sure my kids would like a cat it would ruin my life but I would get a cat I just put put it in a room with Blake pumped about it see what happens I don't know would you get a cat I I'm a man of my word with all this stuff I how about no golfing for last place for an entire year oh no that would be brutal for me yeah that's the thing you don't but then it's like once I once I actually want to work you hate that too what are you talking about I've I've enjoyed you today you you I came in you were taking a nap and you had a couple incestables you said that you were mad that Mr pear was waking you up during your I didn't say that you said he's making noise I said no you can the whole time powered through how was that it was good I I was longer than I expected so I woke up kind of like in a in a funk no he slept too much it was 60 it was 60 Minutes relax 60 Minutes is actually a bad nap time that's what I'm saying I've been here since 9:00 a.m. we're going to be here till 12:00 p.m. I had 3 hours of nothingness you need the you need the like the the 15 I thought someone was going to come in and and you know wake me up but it just never happen up now now he's mad at us for not waking him up early enough I've never said that I hate it when you guys do this so much okay all right we'll figure out a punishment but we will do the picks Packers-Eagles Preview after we preview every game let's start Packers Eagles so Mr paar's going to pick this game Mr peir is going to pick all Standalone games this year and we'll see how he does from that Packers at Eagles in Brazil uh Eagles are minus 2 and a half over under is 492 two new defensive coordinators in this game I kind of like the over for that reason uh I also think they're all like trapped in their hotels right yeah it's a lot of travel and it's weird there's weird security protocols in place down there they just don't want anything bad to happen did you see uh Darius Slayton had to clarify online that he's Darius Slay ton because Darius Slay I guess uh on a podcast was is like [ __ ] Brazil yeah not him different guys so they're both there this guy's it's like just so you guys know I'm slay ton this guy's 1,000 lb heavier than area Sligh yeah so I I don't know um I guess we'll ask Max are you worried about this losing streak cuz you guys are on a bad streak I don't care about I mean seven games in a row they've lost but it they don't they don't count from last year if they lose this game that's eight games in a row they're Zer and zero if they lose this game they're 0 and one eight games in a row that would be 0 and one what how do you think big uh big Dom's going to be able to handle the favellas down there yeah big Dom can handle anything you know what if they throw a bunch of big fat asses at them what oh what in Brazil they got Brazil they got big fat asses you know that I know that but saquan is going to fit right in yeah what if they throw a bunch of those at him big Dom can handle anything I thought I just said that so I was talking to Mark Titus about this yesterday it seems like this is a good bet for Jaylen Herz to score a touchdown and instead the tush push call it the Brazilian buttlift I like that although they don't have Jason Kelce but they've got saquan with a big ass that's true yeah that's true um I'm gonna take the Eagles in this game just because I hate the Packers but I'm worried about the Packers I'm probably going to do the exact opposite I'm going to take the Packers because because I hate the Eagles but I'm worried about the Eagles yeah although if if one of these teams has the ability to fall apart easy and which one would be funnier to see it fall apart you can at least admit watching the Eagles just disintegrate which is funny I would prefer the Packers yeah but uh yeah I I think I know we're going to get to our touchdown picks later uh but I do think that Jaylen Herz might have a big game because Jeff Halley like there was I was seeing a stat that that new defensive coordinators uh especially against good offenses like it takes a little bit of time it's it's good it's a little bit which you could say for both teams here but Jeff Halley the former coach of Boston College he likes he likes a little press man on the outside maybe maybe get some guys running right down the field you got some fast guys Max is Jaylen Herz feeling okay yeah he looks good Max is is I think he's what he's doing he's trying to stay removed from any Eagles discourse this year are you going to overreact no I you know that's like the football starts everyone asks each other like how you feeling about the team this year how you feeling about the team this year how you feeling about the game tonight how you feeling about the game tomorrow I just keep telling myself tomorrow's a weird game it's in Brazil they can't leave their hotels everyone is like not happy to be there so I think that's on like both sides so like if the Eagles play really well and they dominate them like I don't want to overreact cuz it's a weird game if they play really bad and they get smoked I don't want to overreact because it's a weird game but I'm going to overreact the second that that clock hits zero one way or the other but I'm trying to tell myself it's a weird game and that it won't show what's going to happen for the rest of the season that's a fair point it is a weird game it's a game in Brazil on a Friday night so you can you have it's easier to write that one off if it doesn't go your way than it would be like a home game on a Sunday yeah right I agree with that mentality I'm trying to tell myself that but it but my brain is saying that but my heart is telling me you're you're going toct that I'm going to overreact yes I think to Safe Money is on Max overreacting despite telling himself not to overreact history has taught us anything why don't you just Embrace overreacting it's one of the best things you can do as a fan I like to overreact cuz I like to feel something it's not good for my I understand listen at least I overreact a lot I overreact as much as you do I'm at 39 so you can maybe at least make it 12 more years yeah that would be crazy though if I drop dead from overreacting like week two would you would you guys change you'd change your whole life Max you'd have to I I see I would try to but I don't think I would like you just like I'm going to die at the same age it's in like it would be the same thing like going after that I would tell my brain would be like you can't you got to calm down you can't care so much you guys one day that's going to be me and and then Jaylen Herz would fumble on inside his own territory and again right right away I would overreact I hope that doesn't happen again yeah uh okay next game we're now into Sunday uh what was the what's the split we got how many games I think I think it's a pretty good split they made a rule this year where it's going to be a good split every week I think right yeah it looks like eight and four I believe if if I'm reading it correctly so good split uh first game I Steelers-Falcons Preview have on the list is Steelers Falcons Arthur Smith Revenge game yeah I mean the big question is how do you stop bejan Robinson and nobody knows how to do that better than Arthur Smith that's true spent all last year doing it Mike Tomlin has a dog Mike Tomlin has a dog I don't know if it's a Mike Tomlin game yet though because it's week one I just anytime it's Mike Tomlin as a dog I I did see that Russy has got a his a flare up in his calf his Cal is tight Sierra's been pegging him too good okay cramp that thing right up so the problem is Russell Wilson already has limited mobility and now he might have if you could actually oh man if you had to do a bionic quarterback for every team so you had to pick like top half bottom half of each of each guy yeah like their quarterback room I think the Steelers might have the best room so if you were to take like Justin Field's legs and Russell Wilson's arm so Russell Wilson had his like mobility of a better Mobility than a young Russell Wilson when that was like a big part of his game yeah that would be that'd be a good quarterback if you put Russell Wilson's brain inside Justin Fields yeah that'd be a good player yeah or his confidence yeah but then he throwing over the middle Russell Wilson doesn't like to do that H we'll we'll Workshop this okay we'll figure out which has the best one uh yeah but I just Mike Tomlin that's all three and a half it's it's Atlanta minus three and a half right now I'm excited to watch these Falcons it feels like it's been a long time since I've been excited to watch the Falcons play football I think they're going to be better I think they will be too I have no idea what to expect from KT cousins or Kyle pittz or K well no I do what do you expect from Cal pittz not a lot okay I expect more than that I think I don't know I think Cal pittz might just be in theory yeah he's really good right in theory he's great in theory but also in theory he doesn't have Desmond Ritter thrown him the ball this year correct in theory in theory in theory theoretically he should man his size and speed should be good will we if he doesn't have a good year will we still be making excuses for him next year 100% yeah yes so that that's kind of where I'm at some team is going to give up way too much if they try to like uh do a trade for him is he is this the last year or he's he's on year three right now right I think he's year four is he year four already I believe so Kyle P I feel like has been in the league for we've been doing the Kyle pits thing they'll have to make a choice about his contract soon I'm pretty sure it's year three it might be to bet be right yeah so they have to make a choice about year five on his contract soon but a team could trade no I was right year four oh is it yep okay well we'll see what happens in theory Kyle pitch should have a breakout year in theory yep in theory um okay Cardinals bills very Cardinals/Bills Preview excited for this game I think the Cardinals offense is going to be very good this year and also we have Demar Hamlin back starting he's starting yeah not just uh not just running fake punts anymore he's starting but I think the cardinal offense going to be good I don't think their defense is going to be good I think they're going to I think they might be one of those really fun teams to watch like they're in that category where yeah they might not you know they might win seven eight games but they give us some great Red Zone uh late Witching Hour moments in in all year long we're like yeah that was fun yeah Marvin Harrison Jr seems like the kind of guy that is the quintessential just like throw the ball in his Direction kind of guy and he'll just bring it in no matter what they'll probably give you a a heavy dose of him despite the fact you can't buy a Marvin Harrison Jr uh Harrison Jr Jersey correct because that lawsuit is ongoing and Fanatics just made a big mistake they named Marvin Harrison Senior in the lawsuit so they're suing Marvin Harrison Senior that guy's got a gun I didn't say that I did I'm just saying I'm I stand with a second amendment it's his right if he does own a gun it's his right to do so I stand with Marvin Harrison Senor as I do on every single other subject involving Harr mhm for the record that guy's got a gun yeah apparently he signed his son he signed his name on his son's contract hope they wouldn't notice and then after the fact they're like wait a second this is a junior that says senior on it uh I I I like I like what Josh Allen is going to have to do this year I like the position it's put him in yeah where it's like he's got to get it done obviously he's got some weapons at tight end he's got a rookie receiver but it's it's all relatively unknown he knows going in the season that this is on him the entire thing is also the expectations are a little off for the bills where the last couple of years everyone's been like bills Super Bowl this is year super team all that stuff it does feel like from a uh like storyline perspective if you ask someone hey what about the bills like ah they're kind of they're they're in a rebuild they're in a reshaping their roster I think it might I think it might they might be good and this isn't bias like I think the like Dalton concade is very good I think I love C Shakir uh I think Keon Coleman's going to be good I think they're going to run the ball I like the bills this year and they're going to get some great content from Keon Coleman after game two yeah I like the bills a lot this year too because Josh has been in these places before where either going into a game Stefan Diggs has been like his brother's put something weird out on Instagram that Josh Allen has somehow had to answer for and he knows going into it like okay no one thinks that we're a team no one thinks that we can pull it together and then he goes out and he just like jumps over six linebackers right so I kind of like this Josh Allen Titans-Bears Preview yes uh okay next up we've got the Titans and the Bears are you a little bit nervous yeah I think it's a it's it's a can't lose already week maybe a must win loser leaves town it's a must-win in the fact that I will overreact it's a must-win for my own mentals yeah I do think that people are overlooking the Titans a little bit I think they're going to be not a terrible team uh but I I mean I I I'm picking the Bears I'm very excited for this game I actually feel bad for you PFD I mentioned this a couple weeks ago like that you have to wait a whole slot yeah at least you get it guy I get it right away yeah um but yeah I I I don't know maybe it was just because I watched the ending of Hard Knock like 75 times last night but uh yeah I'm ready for this season I'm I I think they're going to win this game yeah I I would expect that uh the Titans they're the team that just added everybody else's players in the off season they they're going to look very very different out there and it's going to take a couple weeks to remember oh yeah that guy's on the Titans Tony Pard Tony PD's on there lerus Sneed Calvin Ridley all on there yeah yeah so they're going to be a new look Titans and I mean lerus sne is a legitimate great quarterback yeah so um he'll be able to take away maybe one out of your three weapons the one thing I will say is starting the season with the Titans actually kind of similar to starting the season with the Bucks although you have Steven Chay to worry about um it does feel like the Titans are one of those franchises I have no ill will towards and I don't know how I would even get ill will towards the Titans if stepen Chay rooted for the ti yeah right like there's nothing that could happen to me where I'd be like oh man [ __ ] the Titans I [ __ ] hate the Titans so that takes it down a little bit where like last year was week week one was the Packers you know what I mean you don't have like a Terrible Towel that they could stomp on yeah piss you off enough to hate the Titans right there's no divisional opponent so I I I I feel I'm excited about this game yeah it is nice it's like intercon no real history of a rivalry there it's like playing the Jaguars and I don't mean that as an offens thing it's just there's not when you play an AFC team that's not been around for a really long time you don't know anyone who roots for him I don't know yeah you they never drafted a quarterback that you could have drafted that you got upset about no real bad blood there right exactly um I do like romad dun in this game I like ROM season he had a great quote yesterday he said that he's mostly excited about the pregame flyover because he's a big big fighterjet guy love that yeah they got The Growlers Patriots Bengals Preview electronic warfare playe love that yeah uh okay Henry yes Patriots at Bengals Bengals are minus eight and a half I believe the over under is like 40 and a half now all the way down to 40 and a half couple things for you Henry uh one Joey chesna is doing the halftime entertainment whoa he is going 5 V1 in a brought worse eating competition he should have been eating Skyline Chili should have been eating Skyline Chili to can you eat one bite of skyline yeah fast I mean he's going to win that by 20 yeah he's going 5 V1 I don't think it matters though no it doesn't who's he competing against five but five just what can eat 60 brw in 10 minutes yeah he's going against Five Guys Five Guys can't eat 11 brw sieg no chance also Dan Hurley is the ruler of the jungle for this game what the [ __ ] does that mean yeah I said it will you want me to say it again why Dan Hurley is the ruler of the jungle for this game he's a Die Hard Bengals fan since birth he's it's have you ever seen pictures like I think we talked random it's very random we've talked to him about it he's like there's every year I feel like there's a picture he post of him and his family taking him to a Bengals game so he has been named the ruler of the jungle for this game wait so they have a real jungle there they have a real jungle and they have a real ruler every single game and he's the week one ruler of the Jungle does that make you nervous has to has to I didn't know they had a jungle that's I mean functioning legitimate real jungle it's real jungle yeah and classified as such yes I don't know I don't know what the classifications are but it's kind of crazy that he's going up against the P it seems like that was intentional right going up against New England and you have the Yukon coach there yeah although connec do it and they probably just do it before college basketball starts yeah ruler of the Jungle yeah so you got Joey Chessa and Dan Hurley in the building probably the two biggest alpha males you can have yeah I'm not expecting much from this game that' be awesome Dan was like [ __ ] it I'll take him on what if what if he Danley just goes down to the field and he's got his starting five from Yukon yeah or I think he could probably I think Dan Hurley if he just went like he blacked out was just like I'll [ __ ] beat Joey Chestnut he could uh I think this game's going to be yucky yucky yucky yucky like blowout but not a blowout I don't think it's going to be a blowout yeah it's going to be like a 10 to 13 Point blowout I don't even know about that the Patriots defense might not be terrible and Jamar Chase not practicing T Higgins had the hold out for a while I think the Bengals might have they've all they have started slow I think it's is going to be a yucky game I keep thinking that that Jamar Chase is going to get signed before this weekend he'll take care of the contract before the week he's done a hold in not a hold out so he's been like around and then he was reported to go to practice and Zack Taylor said yeah he's going to practice and then he didn't show up and then later Zack Taylor was like I'm just going to give you the boilerplate answer if it's done when it's done from now on if I had to bet he's doing the same thing kind of that Brandon iuk did which is which is genius by the way the the move that some of these guys are doing this offseason which is just saying like I don't want to go to work for a month I don't want to go to camp and so I'll hold out if you give me a a two% raise at the end of it I don't have to go to Camp that's a great contract extension Hank would I've never held out I but no you hold in yeah you hold in you quiet quit yeah hey Hank you are the definition of a hold in when things are going poorly for you wait I also don't think Jamar Chase and Joe burrow have have played so much together I don't think it matters how if he's not practicing with the team yeah I yes and no though like there's definitely just getting into I mean we see it every single September especially with the shorten you know not no two days the shorten preseason September football has not been the prettiest football and I T Higgins that's a part I don't understand about the Bengals I feel like it was all about t Higgins then the minute T Higgins was like I'll I'll show up it's like wait oh yeah also Jamar Chase yeah who's definitely better than T Hig that's the real issue and they did lose uh uh Taj Taj Boyd Tyler Boyd uh that Taj Boyd Tyler Boyd Tyler Boyd Tyler Boyd Tyler boy Tyler Boyd I was yeah who's Taj Boyd Taj Boyd's a basketball player Taj Boyd why did I say Taj Boyd no Taj Boyd was a Clemson quarterback remember him he was the one right before Deshawn yeah he was like the last like Clemson sucks y Clemson can't win the big game um I think I like the Patriots cover I do too and I it's not like this is the same early season Bengals that we've seen the last couple years cuz one was like an appendex and then I forget what the other one was for for Joe burrow yeah uh but it was his calf or something right yeah uh but yeah this is I I don't I feel like the defenses are just by and large better than the offenses this time of year yeah yeah and it's just I yeah I think it's going to be a clunky game um how about Bill bich getting on Insta face huh I don't like it oh yeah I was looking it up I don't like it at all Hank um Bill bich follows yep what I know what you're about to say what what was I about to say you're just G to say who he follows who does he follow it's like Brady he follows 12 people follows 12 people a lot of NF NFL films McAfee but he follows both pton and Eli and Brady no Patriots no craft I think there might be beef there between belich and craft do you think so I I mean I'm listen I wasn't able to make a a definitive statement on it until I figured out who he followed yeah bellich is do you think he's running his own [ __ ] or you think he's got somebody that's doing it for him that would have been probably someone from Productions since it's pton Eli Omaha Productions that would have been awesome if he got Instagram and the and he followed craft and then unfollowed him just to unfollow him yeah bill bich has unfollowed Mr craft and he follows his girlfriend does he yeah I'm just going to see who that is um it is Jordan Isabella oh is she the entrepreneur philosopher correct says here she's 23 correct all right so Hank you are so down that you don't even think you're going to get blown out it's tough to say otherwise when it's a you know rookie coach and a a a new team I don't want to confidently say that they're going to be in this game before I watch them that's a pretty reasonable thing to say are you going to be watching yeah are you golfing on Sunday no do promise promise do you think it's going to be fun watching the Patriots no all right okay um all right next game I have on my list Texans-Colts Preview Texans Colts trivia time the last time the Colts have won a week one game oh is that Philip Rivers 201 17 2013 holy [ __ ] they just lose week one yeah I did not know that it's crazy I did not know that because I wanted to bet on the Colts this weekend I do too but I saw that and I was like nope but they don't always play at home yeah I know this is uh this does also stadi the stadium is different this year though it is different they don't have the the banner for the AFC finalist up anymore that's in our gym they got the loser stink out of it this is the toughest game for me all if I look totally up up and down the board I can give you a somewhat opinion on every game this game is simply it's either going to be the biggest trap or the easiest bet I think it's the biggest trap yeah that's like I either way Anthony Richardson looked good last year in the first couple weeks true and people forgot about it because he got hurt so so early on in the season but the Texans man and the Texans look so good everyone's high on the Texans I'm also high on the Texans but I'm also high on the Colts I'm not high on the Colts and I'm high on the Texans which makes me want to take the Colts figure that one out I forgot I still have Colt season tickets oh yeah so we got to give those away two season tickets if you own a Joe flacko Colts jersey send me a picture of you wearing it the tickets are yours done sent a part of my take or people probably don't have a cold Ste Flo jersey yet someone has to uh what else what else can we do submissions you have a Colts hat a Colts hat mhm best Colts hat okay best Colts I want I want to know what or Joe Flo or Joe FL Joe Flaco Jersey gets uh position a yeah uh but if you have the best if you think you have the best hat in Indianapolis prove it if there are multiple Joe Flaco Colts jerseys tiebreaker the Hat yeah yep all right so uh tag at Parton my take Y and send it in also include your TVs too so memes can post his TVs again um I love memes TVs I do too memes memes is a star now yeah he's gonna leave us soon don't you think Hank I asked him if I could watch Jags-Dolphins Preview football at his place and he didn't answer me he was just like H he's too you're Hollywood yeah he's too Hollywood uh okay next up Jaguars Dolphins I don't know what to think of this game either actually so I I I'm going back on what I said just a second ago uh Dolphins minus three and a half over under 48 and a half I feel like the Dolphins obviously always start hot Jaguars have a new defensive coordinator dolphins have some injuries their defensive line is not great I'm leaning towards the Jaguars but I don't really know what to think about this this is a sideline bet for me they're going to have the Jaguars in the in the heat no shade on the sidelines there might be rain okay good good I I appreciate the weather update got you are you sure there might be rain I said there might be rain okay H can you double check oh it's South Florida PFT yeah there always could be rain you know what they say about the weather in Miami yep if you don't like it just wait five minutes oh no I thought they said there might be rain oh they also say that too yeah Hank look it up for us cuz there might be rain I need to know we need to know Sunny with chance of clouds and rain chance of precipitation goes no higher oh 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% it's 10% impossible for 10% at 7 a.m. and then 10% so I'm right might be rain no 10% 9:00 p.m. yeah but there might be rain 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. there's a 10% chance of rain there might be rain everything else zero there's 100% chance of 0% rain at noon might 1 p.m. there could be rain and what's the temperature hot hot very hot how hot [ __ ] 90 degrees sideline bet it's a sideline bet taking the Dolphins you're you're you're smart you're a smart guy that's a smart bet it's a smart sideline bet that it gets hot I think this is one of those moments where I'm really regretting the fact that I taped all the other gambling shows earlier this week cuz I think I took the Jaguars in every single one of them and you swayed me on the sideline yeah don't forget about the sideline I did forget about the sideline yeah can't do it I needed you there reminding me you think Mike McDaniel's going to have a new look this year year um he he gets like frostier and Swagger every year he should actually just Frost the tips of his hair Pete prisco did get in my head a little bit with the whole he's too friendly with the guys yeah he got in my head but this is the perfect time of year to be friendly with the guys yeah right at the start yeah um okay let's Panthers-Saints Preview see next up Panthers at saints Saints minus 4 over under is 412 I love the panther in this game oh I had one thing for the Dolphins I forgot sorry uh because the Lions won a playoff game last year the Dolphins are now the longest playoff drought in the NFL win playoff drought win okay does that go back to I'm gon to guess what year is that back to the 90s no it's 2001 season okay uh do you know the other big four Sports longest playoff drought win so it would obviously be a series in in hockey and and baseball and basketball twins twins are not the answer I was shocked at this answer there a lot of sports I got to go through right now I don't know what is it the Reds 1995 damn that's a long ass time and then the other two were the Hornets and the Sabers which makes sense yeah it does those are definitely it's still a long time for the Dolphins yeah no the Dolphins so so I think we're we can't the Dolphins winning a playoff game would actually be bad for us our clock would ticket next up yeah we're next yeah I don't know what year you are I I just always see the stat of like the last team to have a a 10- win season that one's very depressing because every other team is within the last 5 years basically yeah and then the uh the Redskins commanders you got to go back to 2005 yeah I think I think it's you then Jets then or no it might be you then bears and jets I think we're 2010 but still that's our last Insurance play right now is the Dolphins yeah we need the Dolphins to not win well no that's that was old us that was old us now our teams are good so we don't have to about that anymore yeah we'll get our playoff oh no the Raiders the Raiders are also in there thank God so it's Raiders uh 2002 commanders 2005 Jets and Bears tied for 2010 okay so we got we need the Dolphins we need the Dolphins because then it just slowly creeps up on us uh okay so the Panthers and Saints uh I love the Panthers in this game just because I it's my my rule of you're never as bad as you were the last year some s you could be worse but doesn't mean you're going to be good if you're the Panthers though now I am rooting for the Panthers I'm rooting I'm rooting for their fan base because the position they were put in with Bryce young last year and how bad it looked at times I want for them to not be like oh [ __ ] we really [ __ ] this up now we're [ __ ] you know like I want them to have some hope in Bryce young I I I don't think the Panthers going be good I think they're going to be competent which they weren't last year do you know that the Panthers last year they won two football games last year and there's a lot of football games 17 football games do you know the Panthers did not take a single snap in the fourth quarter with the lead I did not know that both of their wins were last second field goals to win by two points that's crazy it's insane that's nut the entire I mean that's insane yeah that is crazy to not know what it feels like to to maybe win in the fourth quarter have a single lead in the fourth quarter with his offensive snap yeah so I I I don't think they're going to be good I think they're going to be better I think Dave Canalis is going to have them I mean Dave Canalis was good with Baker Mayfield he knows the division yeah he knows the division I also have uh my fun Dennis Allen stat of the day you ready for this one I was doing some digging last night Dennis Allen this is how bad it is for Dennis Allen he is now uh thinking that he's going to get get a competitive Advantage by not divulging where offensive coordinator Clint cuak is going to be during the game in the booth around the Seline correct he said uh could be anywhere we get in game mode and try to keep as many things inhouse as we possibly can nothing to give our opponents any sort of Advantage a reporter immediately questioned if matters were uh where the Panthers see cubc calling plays to which Allan swiftly responded don't know don't know whether they care don't care whatever I just don't know if that's anything I wanted to divulge yeah so I like that in fact they should they should take they should take it one step they should have everybody on the coaching staff dressed dress up like cubiak and that way you don't know which one is cubiak Eminem yeah it could be anybody could be any of those guys but this is you know your football coach is kind of losing it when he thinks that he's getting an advantage by being like he could be in on the field or in the booth okay now you never know Counterpoint if Dennis Allen was Jim Harbaugh I would be like this guy's playing chess yeah I'm not giv any information but Dennis Allen but Dennis Allen is not Dennis Allen read a book this offseason about how to be more like Jim har correct and this is how he's trying to implement it correct yeah because if he was actually about that life he would have been doing this gamesmanship for the last however long he stunk up the NFL right but now he's like he's he's learned new tricks that he's trying to adapt as part of his personality that doesn't actually exist correct yeah I just love this story because yeah he's the guy's reeling uh by the way are we gonna have Mr pair pick a pick a game he he forgot to pick Packers Eagles are we doing that during this yeah he should have picked Packers Eagles while we're talking Mr per is such a dude okay have him pick Packers Vikings-Giants Preview Eagles and then when we get to Rams Lions he should pick Rams lions got it yeah uh okay next up Vikings and Giants I have a theory PFT and this is uh uh kind of like a choose which door and one door's death kind of feeling to it I think one of the two quarterbacks in this game will be better than expected this year but I have zero idea which one it will be I think it's going to be Sam okay I kind of think it's gonna be Daniel Jones I think it's GNA be S well that's tricky because I would say weirdly the expectations I think at least for myself are higher for Sam darnold than they are for Daniel Jones right but I just think that at the end of the season we're GNA be like oh Daniel Jones or oh Sam darnold not a bad year but I think the other one's going to be terrible I'm gonna bet on Sam darnold because I like Kevin I like Kevin oconnell and uh Brian dble I think is a good coach but there were some times with Daniel Jones where he was just you could tell he was like watching just like any of us were yeah like you got to be [ __ ] me yeah and we did see that Daniel Jones moment in the preseason which I know is a preseason but it was still a play but you said Brian dable I know that it's a a panic move but he's calling offensive plays now yeah I mean he was a really good offensive play caller for the bills before he took the Giants job he's also skinny Brian dable he's lost a lot of weight um I yeah I don't know this it's just one of those games I I I I was feeling it before I was like one of these quarterbacks I can't figure out which one but one of them I'm going to walk away from the 2024 season being like not so bad I actually like the Giants in this game but I like Sam darnold over the course of a season if he doesn't get mono is he staying in Hoboken before the game I don't know you know smooching Sam I'm gonna say it right now if whoever wins this game I'm G to be all in On Believing on that quarterback yeah for the rest of the season I will ride or die with that quarterback being like he's not that bad I don't know if I can even though he will prove yeah he will he will make me look like a fool time and time again did he pick a team he hasn't moved a step he hasn't moved a step okay throw some lettuce down this [ __ ] pear this this Turtle sucks Raiders-Chargers Preview memes what you doing now when he's making all that noise down there what's he doing trying to escape is he scratching he's trying to escape Raiders of chargers Ultimate Football guy uh matchup I think the Chargers are us three over under is 40 and a half I love it both these guys they just they want to fight they they they if you just had them fist fight it would it would work as a football game you don't need a ball for this game no just send the teams out on the field line up hit each other and then whoever is more physical gets the win I like the Chargers though I like the Chargers in in this game I do too I believe in just I don't their team is not good but I believe in Harbaugh but Justin Herbert's good did he pick anything what what's going on here memes memes it's okay he he just takes his time oh that was so cute how you just said that is that do you talk to him in that voice do little memes it's okay oh my God why isn't memes come in here I think the turtle's a little bit afraid of Max yeah no I I it'll uh Mr or Mrs per will go Miss it's Ms and then last name tare switch now that nobody's around it'll go it'll move okay I'm I'm excited to see Garder muu that's fun that is fun he's going to do some weird [ __ ] out there I I hope starter Gardner muu I hope that they don't make him just like a vanilla quarterback I hope that if you openly acknowledge that Gardner mchu is your starting qb1 you have to also deal in the fact that he's going to do some crazy [ __ ] don't try don't try to change yeah let him do his own Garder muu thing don't try to make him just a boring ass quarterback agreed Commanders-Bucs Preview agreed uh PFT you want to talk about your game commanders at bucks yeah yeah I do um all right so you were saying you're you're excited about this game but you also know that you're going to overreact I almost don't even want this game to happen because I'm I love Jaden Daniels and I'm nervous now because he's so good I'm nervous that either I'm wrong about him being good or that something's going to happen to him you want you basically want to uh look at your cake not eat it yes exactly I I just want to have it's like Jay Leno's cars that he's got 400 cars and just keeps them in the garage I've got Jane Daniels I just want to be like that's my quarterback in the car watch these highlights from preseason and from college isn't he awesome he's mine yeah so that's part of the equ I did text our friend uh Jason light from the Bucks I said hey just take it easy on maybe do two-hand touch don't hurt him what' he say uh he said that I was pulling a a Lou Holtz move which is just always tell your opponent how bad you are so they take it easy on you MH I wasn't trying to do that I just just honestly meant please don't hurt him yeah please do not please do not hurt Jaden Daniels uh it is a classic Commander thing going into week one on the day of the NFL kickoff where one of the headlines is commanders fire their vice president was waiting for you to oh you took the Packers okay I was waiting you for you to disavow this man uh well let's see let's see what he got fired for saying he got fired for saying that some of the players are homophobic he got fired for saying that Roger Gill's a $50 million puppet he got fired for saying that uh Jones is racist I got no problems with any of those so I think I two out of three well you're missing big one what was the other one he said most of the fans of the NFL are high school educated alcoholics and mouth breathers I went to college buddy yeah I do breathe through through my mouth y uh at points in my life I have drank enough where I would be considered an alcoholic yep uh but I alcoholics go to meetings that was the part that I was upset about I wasn't I was mostly upset about the fact that he got fired for I think saying that Roger gell is a $50 million puppet M he also said that he he helped Run State media because when you guys had that leak he had to tell everyone don't worry it's not sewage yeah yeah he did well that's your job that's been your job if you've worked for the commanders for the last 20 years is to be you remember Saddam Hussein's right-hand man that was like who could forget Baghdad Bob oh you remember Kevin I don't know they called him Baghdad but he was the one that was like we're winning the war as like Baghdad was being leveled to the ground that guy that's been the job but the Commander's vice president of communications for a very long time right um also it a lot of people are dog piling on the commanders and it's like the best way I can describe it is like I have an ugly baby and you know some babies are not that attractive just naturally some are cuter than others I know I have an ugly baby and I walk around with my baby I love it I take care of it I change its diaper I feed it all the time I'm always going to love this baby no matter what and I can be like okay you're a little bit ugly right now you'll grow into it but the second somebody else is like your baby's ugly I'm like [ __ ] you you piece of [ __ ] right this is my baby AG only I can call my baby ugly yeah house that's how I feel about the commanders yeah when people are like oh Hank's a piece of [ __ ] we don't like him and he's doesn't work and he's a [ __ ] he sucks at golf and he he he's a mouth breather and he's worse I'm just like dude you can't say that that's what I say to him thank you you can't say that bro cuz you're a top guy top guy you're top G appreciate that yeah but don't you [ __ ] call my baby ugly people say Max is fat and he [ __ ] cries and he's such a [ __ ] and he sweats everywhere and he he clogs his toilets and he hates dogs he hates dogs I say no you can't say that yeah yeah I get what you're saying PF yeah so it is fitting though that the commanders fired somebody on on the day of NFL kickoff yeah that was perfect that's like a classic Commander perfect perect but I am I'm excited about Jaden but at the same time I just I've seen too much bad stuff happen to me how jealous are you g to be very very very scared how jealous are you going to be of me if if the Bears win and Caleb Williams balls out and I basically am sitting there I'm like winning the it's like basically winning the first game of March Madness on the Thursday afternoon yeah so what's going to happen I've thought through that scenario Caleb goes out there lights it up and I'm waiting and then I'm getting more and more nervous as I'm watching and then Jaden goes out there fumbles throws interception looks bad and then big cat's like I'm going to go in the other room and get ready cuz you don't want to be around me because you know that you're happy about your guy and you don't want me to see your happiness while I'm feeling sadness right so this is actually this is the eight hours on NFL Sunday while these two games are being played it's a big Gateway moment for Parton my take correct I think best case scenario well for us is they're both good worst case scenario is one's great the other stinks MH and then we have to deal with the repercussion cuz even if they're both bad together at least we we have each other yeah yeah if they're both bad together we can deal with that but if one's good one's bad I don't know I don't know if we're going to be able to pod yeah probably have to cancel the Pod memes you're stepping up Broncos-Seahawks Preview memes you're ready for the prime time uh okay couple games left two hour long Jets preview couple games left uh Broncos at Seahawks Seahawks minus 6 uh the over under in this game is is 41 and a half I love the Seahawks in this game so I like McDonald yeah I like that guy a lot uh I think he's probably the perfect person to replace Pete Caroll because they're not alike at all and I like that you're bringing in some guy that is like obviously Pete Caroll wasn't exact was he fired or was it like mutually Mutual parting of way mutually we both agree that you're fired yeah which is a nice way for him to leave I guess if you have to leave somewhere it was like a mutually we're done with this yeah and then you bring in like some tough ass defensive coordinator after him I like that transition y I like that a lot McDonald I think is a good coach I'm excited to see what happens with uh with the the Seahawks offense now but they got a good running back yeah kth Walker's good yeah I I I I just think rookie quarterback on the road against a guy who's very good at coaching defense disguises some things I it's be a long day for bonick not saying bonck is going to be bad but this is going to be a long day so bonck is it fair to say handpick back by Shawn pyton that's exactly what he is handpick quarterback well he saw the inside of his his book bag that's right and it was unbelievable right and would you consider Shawn Payton to be a quarterback Whisperer or a quarterback Guru I would actually say it he'd be more in line with he had Drew Brees okay quarter he's a Drew Brees Merchant he had Drew Brees Drew Brees Merchant because to be a quarterback Whisperer I think you got to do it with a couple guys got to have two but he did it as an assistant yeah and he reads a quarterback whisper yes he he did it with dom McNab he did it with Alex Smith yeah and moles Shawn Payton yeah yeah Shawn pton we'll see but this is his guy how quickly into the season do you think Shawn pton is allowed to be a [ __ ] to Bo Knicks if Bo Knicks does something wrong because with Russell Russy was from the previous regime yeah it wasn't his guy so so he could be like it's like moving into a house being like he wasn't the stepdad he was the dad the stepped up [ __ ] this bathroom I'm going to it uh but with a guy that you handpicked I feel like you Shawn Payton can't be a dick to him right off the bat which I think is good for the Broncos yeah I'd agree I think he has to wait to he's got to do the carrot for a while and then Cowboys-Browns Preview smash him up the ass with a stick later yep I'd agree um all right last two games Cowboys at Browns Browns minus 2 and a half over under is 40 and a half I don't really know what to expect from Deshaun Watson remember him yep um I do like J Jones Spin Zone every year he's got a nice Spin Zone or something last year where he was all in uh this year they he said uh people were asking him like oh you got to do something after the Green Bay thing he said the Green Bay thing that's what he's calling that loss the Green Bay thing the incident you got to do something about after the Green Bay thing you got to fire people you got to you got to change some things uh and he said actually I have changed some things by not changing things everyone's on the hot seat so so by not CH in the past in the past he would have changed things but but he did change things but you know what it would have been it would have been actually easier on those guys if he had changed things because now he's like you guys made a mess you got to clean it up yeah but he's he has changed things by not changing things he said I didn't make many changes but within the realm of not making changes totally changing people out I tried to turn up the heat on myself and everybody involved so he didn't change anything he just turned up the heat so what you're saying is there was maybe about to be a change and then Jerry Jones was standing in the background as that change was happening not necessarily preventing that change from happening but maybe telling everybody let's see what happens before we make this change but he took a Rams-Lions Preview picture of it right he's like don't change anything let's just turn up the heat yeah let's just turn up the heat let's turn up the heat got it so that's the new we're turning up the heat on the Cowboy season where' Hank go he sneezed uh grab the Rams Lions uh picks for Mr pair so Mr pair does have the Packers and Mr peir is going to pick oh he sneeze again Rams Lions did we did we screw up when we talked about Jerry Goff earlier when I said that he uh he's an MVP candidate because 14 out of 17 games are in a dome do we count this as a dome does this qualify as a dome because remember they've had they've had lightning delays they're playing in Detroit okay so it does qualify as a dome yep okay good pick I wrote it down that was a good question it was a good question had it been in La I wrote it down wrong I wrote lions at Rams yeah that's been absolutely 100% debunked five pinocchios Deb you know what we just made sure that people are just staying on their toes y uh yes it is a dome and yes I I I love the lies in this game I do too I the only thing that makes me nervous is Dan Campbell is an actor now he's a really good actor it was an awesome commercial I [ __ ] love Dan C they'll never see coming do anything for Dan Campbell he's the best I wish I didn't love him so much but I do love him yeah he's impossible not to love yeah um yeah I like the Lions I like the Lions I wonder if they're going to boo uh Stafford's children before this game they're not attending okay yeah they are specifically not attending belly and the kids are not coming not after what happened last time not after what happened they won't let they won't let Detroit Don and sprinkles and superfan do the same thing Hank are you okay yeah okay um you had a sneeze attack I had a couple sneezes yeah uh sugar do we have do we have the pick here is he picking anything he hasn't moved he hasn't moved okay we probably didn't think this Turtle thing out very well well I would have thought this Turtle would be faster ah damn it now to be fair Mr Mr perir does great picks when he has the sheets that are printed out is's on the ground true he's just because I think he's panicking he thinks he's on it's it's like the blue Turf he thinks he's on water when he's on our rug yeah it could yeah in this situation right here he's inside of his pen or his crate which is where he normally chills so he has no motivation to move yeah uh okay so do you guys want to do our uh touchdown parlay so here's what we're going to do every week we will have it in the DraftKings sports book we all pick one guy to score we put them all together so we're doing a four to score parlay Max you got your pick I do what do you got uh Sunday Night Football I hope that it comes down to me David Montgomery do you really hope that yeah really that's a lot of pressure no you don't no but I like the pick I Gibbs was kind of banged up throughout Training Camp Mon there everyone's talking about going in the year Montgomery still the Bruiser and the games in Detroit a lot of thought it was in LA and there's going to be a lot of points I like I like the pick I like David Montgomery to score I like the pick too okay good pick Max I'll go with the one that should get us on the board I'll just go with Dalton con Kade I think he's going to score okay early game get it out of the way try to get us on the board I'm also going tight end I'm going Kyle pits I'm pretty sure he has like three touchdowns in his career think all right I'll go no no no no no the pick is in it is Kyle pittz he has six touchdowns on his career three years's got a much better quarterback yeah he's got Kirk Cousins Kirk Cousins loves tight ends love it y he it's good odds I'm sure what are the odds plus a thousand plus a thousand for AIT scor touchdown that's prob first we're just doing touchdowns oh 195 you're right okay yeah it's preseason for Anto all right okay and then so we got Kyle pittz we got Dalton concade we got David Montgomery and PFT I like just saying Brazilian buttlift so I want to say Jaylen Herz but instead they can't do Friday yeah I'm going to say it has to be Sunday so I'm going to go with Alvin Kamara o against the Panthers remember him yeah Alvin Kamar against the Panthers okay you don't even have to watch that game that'll just be one that you'll have maybe uh you'll refresh the score occasionally on your phone on and just see if Alvin scored yet can I say I'm a little nervous about that pick for one reason why we don't know where Clint KU kubak is going to be but Clint kubak is calling offensive plays for the Saints but Kamar doesn't need to have I'm just saying I'd like to know where the OC is okay all right I mean this Dennis Allen guy he's got the greatest secrets in the world yeah but that's good no that's good though that we don't know where he's going to be I hope he's like in a closet somewhere it's he's already not even watching the game what if he was secretly fired blind plays yeah um Shadow Clint kubak friend of the program yeah office manager Brett they don't make a lot of Clint anymore so DraftKings has not one but two special offers awls who want to bet the PMT parlay this week first DraftKings giving all customers a no sweat touchdown bet for each football day this week that means you'll get a bonus bet back if your touchdown bet doesn't hit second any customer who chooses to use their no sweat touchdown bet on our four to score parlay will also receive a profit boost so head to the app now to claim these offers oh he pick he picked the Rams now he's going towards the Lions well which did he pick I didn't see him go over oh no now he's at the Lions you said so you said Rams do we have a do we have a ruling me we said we were going on first move right V well first move of the last one was Eagles but he he ended up it's where he's got to end up no it's where he's got to end up where he's got to end up mes you're the replay official uh Week 1 Picks lions lions is a pick okay all right all right so let's do our picks uh I forgot how we do it we we start with just saying your favorites we did two last year two that's right we did two picks you got to pick a total and a spread I like that better uh okay so memes do you want to start we'll obviously change the start uh as we go along no repeats so these are our picks no repeats and memes go ahead I'm going to go Saints Panthers under let me get the exact number Gotta Have It Gotta Have It memes are you also keeping track of these yeah I'll keep track 41 and a half under 41 and a half okay Max uh I'm also going to go with an under I'm going to go Raiders Chargers I like that under 40 and a half I like it though okay PFT I'm going to go with an over Broncos Seahawks over 41 and a half okay I also will go with an over because it's football's back and I want to root for points so I'll go Cardinals bills over 47 okay I will go with an under between my New England Patriots and the Cincinnati Bengals under 41 all right good pick you believe in Jared Mayo J May yeah thank you Hank I got you back who cares guy's name is spelled Jared J it's not Gerard from Subway we don't talk about him who definitely would have been a recurring guest if we were doing that show yeah in the 2010 we definitely would have been like oh yeah Jared from Subway wants to come on the show oh okay we'll talk to him about the colds we'd probably have his pants framed on the wall there'd be pictures of us with him autograph pants would have been bad uh what was Hank's number sorry a 41 okay 41 all right Hank you have another pick my next pick is going to be the Chicago Bears minus three and a half love it I don't think it's a troll it's not I know this these picks matter these picks matter the the pick you make right now could be the difference between you having to wrestle an alligator and not exactly I'm going to take the Panthers plus four okay does it not worry you where Clint cubiak is going to be I think it's it makes me happy that Dennis Allen might not even know where he's going to be okay I think he might forget where to put him where you want to put them imagine there's a staffer who like comes up to him he's like coach One Last Thing Before we kick off where do you want to put them it's like in The Matrix where they're all they're all the agent yeah standing around him doesn't know who to talk to okay I'm going to go with uh one that was controversial earlier I'm going to go with Colts plus three okay Colts plus three home dogs yep and remember uh we're doing half a point for pushes so if anything pushes it counts as a half a point okay when count is one loss obviously zero Maxi um I'm going to go with Seahawks minus 6 Seahawks minus 6 I like it does it make you nervous that b Nicks was named a captain no he's a quarterback I said I actually said this to memes and he was like yeah he's a quarterback it doesn't make me nervous because Shawn pyton was like I hand selected this guy he's going to be a captain kale Williams is a captain yeah he was voted on by his teammates no big deal how many captains guys have uh like five yeah a lot of captains I think three on offense you need you need some captains participation trophy culture you need a special teams Captain two and everyone gets a captain everyone gets a little logo here's your gold star great job you're not saying this because Jaden Daniels is in I haven't looked it up um I don't know I truthfully don't know hey they're going to try to pit us against each other let's not let them do that well I think what Dan Quinn's doing is he's not naming captains I think he's like I'm going to tell you before the game who's going out for the coin toss but nobody on this team has earned the captain see what if the ship goes down then it's every man for himself okay then everyone play your music get to the lifeboats [ __ ] women and children yeah not I don't mean like bft not literally um but yeah F [ __ ] [ __ ] women [ __ ] wh [ __ ] women and uh don't worry about the children getting to the lifeboats got it [ __ ] women kill children yeah marry men there it is that's what it is uh memes last one I'm going to take the Raiders plus three okay all right good job so those Fantasy Fuccbois picks are in uh let's finish up before we get to Paul sk's fantasy [ __ ]

welcome on a very special guest Phenom can I say Phenom you can say whatever you want okay pitching Phenom it is Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Paul skes I I think Phenom I think you what what else have you been like you Phenom how how early in your life were you like Phenom or next up uh had to be within the last year so wasn't when you were like 13 everyone's like oh man this guy's he's the guy no when I was 13 I was probably hitting 11th in our travel ball games seriously yeah that's crazy what happened just grew grew into my body one day I'll grow too yeah puberty yeah it'll happen no that I guess now you are a Phenom I think that's what you call a rookie yeah a rookie is a Phenom but you were never a prodigy you weren't like an ace at a young age so yeah uh was it was it like you put on weight you grew and then you just became a dominant pitcher yeah I mean the pitching thing happened really recently uh I put on weight and I grew you know when I was a senior in high school freshman in college uh had a big grow spurt and then kept putting on weight um but I was a I went to college as a catcher yeah you were you were like an incredible catcher I read something that basically if a scout was like yeah if Paul SK caught five games M will right now he'd be one of the best catchers out there yeah I'm trying to convince uh I was talking to one of my teammates about that the other day Conor Joe and who also caught in college and he asked me um you know if there was one position other than pitcher that you could play on the field what would it be and I said catch her and he he just started laughing and I'm like no I'm serious yeah like I I'm really trying to convince them that I can catch but uh yeah probably for good reason they don't they don't really believe me you you could get injured back there a little bit tough KNE yeah wait so that this is fascinating so you were in high school you were a catcher did you you pitched as well a little bit Yeah it kind of just it was just hey let's go pull out the pocket radar and see how hard we can throw so how hard were you throwing in high school like 88 that's nuts and then you went to Air Force for a couple years you were still catching then yeah and then when you went to LSU is that when you started pitching or you started okay yeah I mean I was pitching I I closed my freshman year at Air Force uh and started uh you know started on Fridays uh my sophomore year at Air Force and then went to LSU and it was when I transferred I I wanted to be the the two-way player um hitting the fall all through the fall but they were like you're not catching um and I was like you know that's that's fair um but yeah I hit through the fall and then pitch through the fall and then they just stopped putting me in in BP groups yeah and that was kind of where the riding was on the wall oh you just showed up one day and you just weren't in your BP group yeah I I I didn't see my name on the wall so um I was like all right I guess I guess we're going to you know try this pitching thing out and see if we can win a National Championship just doing this so you were a catcher at Air Force and then you would also you would take the pads off and then you go out on the mound and you close that same game so my yeah so my first uh my first series ever was actually at LSU and uh it was during Co so the the it was like 25 or 30% capacity um but I caught I don't know seven or eight Innings and then took the pads off and went down to the bullpen and I just remember the fans down the the because the bullpens are on the line like and the fans are right on top of you at LSU um and uh and they're you know oh they're they're out of pitching they're they're bringing their catcher in that kind of thing and I I came in and um we won but I did give up a home run to uh to Dylan Cruz great player good player really good player great dude this is insane so I didn't fully realize that like so have you had I mean I would assume you've had moments where you've had to like step back and be like this is all happened in basically two years because you went to LSU you win a National Title you start pitching full-time you're the number one pick and then before it's even a year past the national title you're pitching in Major League Baseball throwing like 11 strikeouts a game like that's that's insane has anyone ever sat you down and been like this isn't how it usually goes this is this nuts yeah I mean people people talk about it but um I don't know it it you know nobody nobody's uh trajectory is the same um it's not linear you know nobody progresses through this game you know um the same way so I don't I don't this is kind of how my journey is that's kind of what I've realized and um not to say that um it's never happened before or that it's not going to happen again but um definitely definitely cool to take a step back but it's just baseball at the end yeah wait so when was the when was the first time do you remember the first time you threw a 100 and you're like oh [ __ ] that feels different um I I think it was at LSU and we we had a fall game um I think it was against like Nicholls State and right after the Alabama game when uh they were running on you know the the mob the field and all that but um so it was a pretty cool couple yeah yeah and then I I think they had the track man pulled it pulled up in the Dugout and it said a 100 on there and I came into the Dugout after I pitched and um they were like hey you just hit 100 and I looked on the sheet the next day cuz we get a you know a sheet with our actual Vos movement profiles that kind of thing and it's a 995 and I was like ah h round I didn't actually hit 100 uh so I think I think it was during the season at some point yeah they should round up for every other number except except 100 100 and then 90 you know when you know in high school or or college whenever you hit 90 For the First Time I Think I think that's the same way yeah those are two big Milestones so so do you think you could catch yourself I think so yeah yeah I mean it should be easy right I I mean I yeah um we got I'm sure there's like a with all the different batting cages and like Trevor Bower's whole like thing like I'm sure you could mimic Paul sk's throwing and you catching yeah well there's there's something called a trck now and I've never that that's what I think all the big league teams have I know we have it is is just um it's basically a machine that I I think it's like a a screen that you know shows a the pitcher going through their delivery and then the ball coming out and it's all all your pitches and so you can put it into a which is honestly pretty tough for pitchers cuz hits have faced you however many times they even step in but so I guys can step in and hit off themselves or so I could I could catch myself I just don't think could you hit yourself I could I don't think anybody would like that if I there and it um I could if I wanted to I'd imagine that being a catcher it prepared you to be a pitcher yeah because you see it from a different perspective right yeah and I I think being a hitter also but definitely I mean just just seeing the game from the the other side of it um that was something I was super lucky with when I was at Air Force we we got scouting reports and then they were just like um hey you're going to call the game and cuz you know college the coach calls it and then you you put the fingers down whatever um but from the beginning when I was at Air Force from you know my first game there um CU it's a it's a leadership exercise that's basically how our our head coach uh put it so I was calling the game from from my first game you know that I was catching it LSU or whatever my freshman year um you know thinking the game that way and I think it's it's only helped me you know to this point yeah I I read that you were you were considering both Navy and Air Force for college did you pick Air Force because the Navy doesn't have f-15s um no I that's why I would have picked yeah yeah so I had I had a couple uncles who were in the Navy and one of them was on a sub and one of them was on a destroyer and they're both 65 so um it's pretty tight you know yeah you're around like that so um I think I think the I I you know at the time I thought the lifestyle in the Air Force would have been a little bit better I thought at when I committed I was probably like 63 and I was like um like yeah flying f-16s would be sick and then I hop in an F-16 when I'm 65 66 in the back seat I'm like all right this this kind of sucks do you think are you done growing because it feels like you might not be I think so I don't know you I mean it feels like every if you if you grew that late you might still have another like what if you end up being 67 oh man yeah I definitely wouldn't be flying F16 um yeah good thing about the Air Force is there are a few different planes that you can fly yeah what did you want to fly c17s okay you know by by the time it was all said and done when I was at Air Force that's that's where we flew to all our way trips um at the Air Force Academy you know they would they would be flying you know their own missions and just fly through Colorado Springs take us to wherever we need to go and um and if like if you if you guys have never seen a c17 it's it's awesome yeah it's huge yeah and one of the recruiting uh the recruiting pitches that players would give us was uh you know hey while we're flying to North Carolina or California or wherever we can play whiffle ball while we're on the plane cuz it's that big inside and I never did that but um we could have yeah that's so badass though c17 picks up Air Force to take him on road trips yeah it it it just works out perfectly and c17s I think are the biggest uh the most common airplane for X Air Force baseball players to fly so every time we fly basically we have an xair Force baseball player which it's it's awesome just you know having a 2010 grad flying around 20 I was a 24 grad um you know flying me around and it's you know he was there you know 10 years before I was for you know 15 years before I was whatever it is yeah just like the legacy of it um that that was really cool that is awesome so and and you still are are very active you you uh do stuff with the Gary sise Foundation which helps uh veterans and so what what kind of stuff have you been doing with them yeah I mean really just trying to raise as much money as possible um I think it's a $100 a strikeout that that I'm donating and um obviously trying to you know just basically get as much support as possible just cuz um they're you know they're they're a really good foundation that does a lot for veterans First Responders um and their families um and that's that's something that um you know we we can never fully repay them for what they've done for us um so you know it's it's it's never going to be enough but it's a step so yeah yeah that's awesome how many more starts do you have left this year man got a month left or something yeah probably like four or five around there yeah you know what I'll match oh I'll double I'll double cat's going to double I'm going to match I'm just matching big cat's double I'm doubling for record two 200 a strike out 200 a strike out I'll do 100 you're very good at pitching so I don't I don't want to do 200 all right I'm matching I'm I'm doubling I'm doubling I've doubl it crazy is that I think I I said yesterday that Ted Williams is uh he's the only player in terms of unbreakable stats that hit 400 in a season and also shot down four enemy aircraft I feel like you are the probably the only hope to break that record ever yeah I don't the 400 would probably be tough yeah um I might have to get like two at bats and get one hit in a little p that's that counts especially with the no DH now but that that would count um yeah the the four enemy aircraft actually might be the harder one in in in that uh but you at least you're in the conversation you're in the conversation the you're next up on the we started the conversation yeah uh I got to ask uh a question about the game earlier it was I think it was last month or no it was it was uh in July against Milwaukee no hitter through seven and they take you out yeah were you pissed um be honest you can be fully honest we'll cut all this yeah no I was more pissed at myself then cuz I was at like 98 pitches or something like that and I I I was I was tired oh you were yeah and that's that's what our it was the outing right before the All-Star break I was um I was tired to be you need to like have like a sign in your back pocket where you can take it out and be like I'm tired guys because I was mad for you but I wish I had known I should have been not mad I was also at 60 pitches I think through three Innings so I was I was really just and that was one of the games where you know guys will say like you have 30 starts in a year you're going to feel great for 10 of them you're going to feel terrible for 10 of them and then whatever 10 you're going to you know it could go either way something like that I've heard that a number of different ways but that was kind of of the ones where I just woke up and didn't feel great MH um yeah Day games are tough like um so that was that was one where it was almost like we bet we better get the pen going in the second cuz we we'll see how far we can and then you end up going no hitter through seven yeah yeah it it kind of funny how that works but um yeah that was I I like I said I was more pissed at myself cuz I was at 60 pitches through three Innings okay so we we we can't be we can't be mad about that one because I I and I guess you you have a long career it's smart to take you out if you're tired but I also every time there's a no hitter or a perfect game I'm like if you think it was a perfect game would you stayed in would you have at least fought for yourself to stay in yeah I I mean and that's that's one thing that you know I fight for myself to my uh you know to an extent with all these games um because there there are games where I throw 100 pitches and I feel like I could throw 50 more and there are games where I throw 85 and you know all right that's it so it really is game to game like that because I think we are stupid sports fans where we're like 100 pitches is always the number in our head like once you get over 100 oh man this is but it's there's some days it's like I could throw 150 no problem yeah and I I think um I think that is one of the perks of being 22 probably yeah um cuz I I would I would do that pretty routinely last year um at LSU and you know we were all comfortable with it um you know I I would feel good the next day my body was just built up and I think it is you know still built up but that is also this is the longest season I've ever played because I've basically been full ghost since you know the start of spring training in February till now so um as opposed to whatever February through June in in college um so that it's it's an adjustment yeah so with the transition to the rookie year I remember Jamar Chase LSU guy when he started playing with the Bengals in practice he was like it's going to take a second to get used to the ball there's no white stripes on the ball in the NFL but this might be a dumb question in baseball is there a difference between the college ball and the Major League Baseball big time um and I actually like the big league ball uh more but the seams on on a college ball are the college balls are are pretty bad um and because the the seams vary so much you know you get you get one with big seams small seams um and then you can feel like the the how hard the baseball is how soft it is that kind of thing um just like they're they're cheaply made you can you can like feel it with the college balls and I think up to double a double A is kind of like the college ball but then Triple A and the big leagues use use the same balls and then spring training we used um we used Big League balls also and I threw with big league balls the the entire offseason so I think that the you you look at um numbers guys with with you know 18 vert fast balls in colle will'll get to throw with um Major League balls and it'll be a 14 vert fast ball for example like everything just kind of moves a little bit less with a big league Ball but they're more consistent they're I don't know they feel better in my hand so it's an adjustment to make um I think some guys hate it some guys love it I'm I'm probably on the love it side but um yeah it's it's definitely it's definitely an adjustment Paul

you're just not you are you you you think you could throw like Infinity strikeouts you'd still have to worry about baby grank no oh it's the other way yeah other way okay you don't have to worry about baby grank yeah okay all right good that's good cuz I don't know if that was ever in your head you're like baby grank he's trying to RIS up my girlfriend like got to worry about this like I'm at the Ballpark where's baby grank no no never never worried about that all right good I think you you're taking the right approach yeah but I just wanted to make sure cuz we'll take care of baby gr for you if you need us to no I don't yeah I I don't have social media or anything like that that's smart really smart yeah that stuff cuz I don't I don't even want to start talking about the rizzler and what could rizzler he's next up I don't even know who that is yeah and that that's how I was with baby grank or whatever how long did it how long did it take for somebody to explain to you what was happening during the baby cuz it took I'm online and it still took somebody like yeah it was basically like someone speaking Chinese to me I just somebody I don't know sent it to me or something what the what all right whatever baby gr just some more stupid internet stuff yep that's pretty much what it was stupid internet St that's that's it okay we're not worried about baby grun and thank God you don't know who the rler is maybe I'll tell you afterwards because yeah whatever he's like seven and he's a pheno oh great yeah uh wait so uh when you're what what's your favorite type strikeout is it looking or uh swingy I love looking definitely depends looking looking is sweet especially I mean not especially not one of those where um you know one of those cheap ones where the Umpire gives it to you and they're arguing but like one where you just like kind of beat him yeah um he's sitting something else and you throw the you know exactly what he's thinking basically I just love whenever you whenever a pitcher like freezes a guy up because there's no there's no worst feeling of like I didn't even get to swing the bat yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but do you have a favorite strikeout like from this year yeah or or yeah maybe a bat or from LSU uh probably but I don't know I I if if there were one favorite it would definitely be a looking strike out I'll say that okay um I don't know maybe I don't even remember if my first strikeout was looking yeah I mean the the yeah I guess my first strike out allstar game you had a strike out right or did you have oh you didn't no oh man I could tell kind of a bust yeah yeah yeah super super disappointing you shouldn't have started yeah that's going on baby gr's bulletin board when no strikeouts the All-Star game when did you find out that you were going to start because we were saying like two weeks before that if baseball is smart they will make sure that you start in the All-Star Game yeah so I was on the danam Patrick Show and um the day after my start in Milwaukee we had just gotten to Chicago we were playing the white socks and doing the podcast on the The Dan Patrick Show and our our PR guy um texted me he said hey if you make sure to keep your phone on while you're I'm doing this thing on the laptop uh and he texts me make sure to keep your phone on uh and if you get a call from whatever area code answer it I'm like all right like I think I know what this is then if if I'm going to answer a call while I'm on a on The Dan Patrick Show um but he tor lell is the the manager and he ends up calling Dan I think and uh he was like Hey you know I chose you to start the All-Star Game and I was like oh okay and I didn't say yes or no and he he he was like do you accept I'm like uh yeah of course I accept but he told me on air my you know my parents my family uh you know everyone's watching it and so that everybody found out um at the same time that I did basically while it was while it was live on air yeah that's very cool awesome where do you stand on robot umps um I like the challenge system that's what we had in triaa yeah um I I do like the human part of the game which is kind of probably ironic to say but um we have we have a really good catcher y money grandall and that that's obviously how I came up I mean grandall you know Henry Joey Bart like they're they can all catch they can all receive and that's part of the game is just stealing strikes um and it's part it's also part of the game of you know the cat and mouse game between the catcher the pitcher the Umpire all of it um so I I I think if we're going to go any anywhere with it um The Challenge system but I think it's uh I think full-on robot ums is it kind of just removes the purpose of a catcher a little bit um you know de incentivizes Framing and and you know making stuff look good um which is you know I I for the longest time I wanted to be a big league Catcher And um so I'm I'm biased there I kind of agree with that too and we always say that it's good to have somebody get mad at so if if you're like I'm [ __ ] us on this one with a robot you can't really say that although you'd probably remember that pitch I think it was against the Cubs right uh there was there was one last night there was one um it was against the Cubs a couple weeks ago where it was like 11 in outside the strike zone but it was a position player throwing it so the ire was just like strike let's get out of here yeah in a 14 run ball game yeah yeah that was yeah that was quite a game you you had to feel good though your manager having your back last night yeah yeah cuz that was like a he I think he's where he's like no you talk to me yelling at the UMP yeah that that was odd that was the first time I've ever had something like that yeah in uh in my career cuz that's not a thing in college yeah because I guess the UMP was mad you kind of walked off but like yeah I don't know that's that's another thing you know Yas is is a really good cat he fools me all the time um with those P especially to the to the you know to my glove side he's just so good at moving the ball there mhm um and I thought it was like you know well within the zone I looked back and it was you know a baller ball and a half outside um but yeah I didn't you know just kind of I I thought he was you know stepping back to ring them up or something like that yeah yeah that's what I love about umpires though is that like they they will get I'm not saying this guy did it last night but they have egos too and so respect so you could throw a strike and then they're going to be like Noah [ __ ] that guy he didn't walk off on me that's a ball get back and then it'll start yelling at your manager to like get you in line I just it's fun having big egos like Joe West those kind of guys and they're not always great for the players I understand that but as fans at home that enjoy chaos that to me is like part of the charm of baseball yeah just watch the world burn a little bit yeah exactly it was cool cuz Doug came up to me after and uh you know basically said yeah it's cool to to watch you pitch from behind the plate that kind of thing I got he he said like he has five more years and and he's looking forward to having me again and that kind of thing so kind of a it was cool yeah yeah ended well yeah you don't seem like a guy that would try to show somebody up no and and that that's one thing that I was thinking about also is did you know did I do anything I cuz like you know like he said I'm you know that was the first time I had ever had him you know behind the plate for for one of my starts but I know I'll have him again um you know all all these that that that is that's really cool about the big leagues for me um you know it when I'm in college uh up until the transfer portal thing uh we're we're facing a team like I'm not going to play with those guys you know for at least you know three or four years until maybe I get to pro ball and they're on the same team um transfer portal it's a little different cuz you could play anyone and they're on your team the next year but that's how pro ball is um you know you know you could trade for somebody claim them off waivers that kind of thing anyway any it's cool for me to think about how any anyone on on the Cubs could be on our team next year and I could be playing with them you could be on the Cubs yeah like it it's just you know we could we could all be playing together so it doesn't make any sense for me to have anyone on my bad side and we're going to be playing against each other forever so it'd be cool if you reunited with Dylan Cruz at some point in DC that would be cool that would be awesome yeah love to see that yeah we got him this weekend but um yeah that would be cool he's a guy I would love to play with you mentioned uh like Triple A ball uh and you did play at tripa a to start the season what was it like you so you pitched 27 Innings and you had 45 strikeouts um was that just the coolest thing ever being like I this is so easy for me yeah I mean there was there were some Growing Pains there because I would I I had a pitch count every outing oh and I was it was extremely frustrating for me to cuz I'm I'm learning how to pitch in pro ball really and a lot of these guys are big league hitters that are you know down there and and getting called back up that kind of rehab guys that kind of thing so I'm pitching against big leers essentially and um it was you know I would I have an outing where I'm at 60 pitches in three Innings and I'd get pulled and I you know I'd just be pissed for a week until I pitch the next time like so that that was the that was the tough part for me you know I was I was striking people out whatever 45 strikeouts in 27 Innings crazy I was almost striking too many people out I think because it was so inefficient I'm trying to learn how to because I'm you know I'm getting a three two counts too often and I did that yesterday too so um it it was frustrating for me on that end is you know just trying kind of cuz I you know I can strike out however many people I want in three Innings but that's not you know there are still six Innings left to play in the game so I got to I got to cover my Innings that's kind of how I was thinking about it um as I was as I was building up I'm like this is how it's going to have to be when I get to the show you know um so I I was really just learning how to how to pitch in in Pro bow against against big Leaguers when you when you get a uh 02 count do are you ever like I'm not wasting one like let me just strike him out right here yeah it depends um I think they're sometimes it's it's like that and sometimes uh I mean if there are Runners on it's it's different but sometimes I I I play around too much more than I should but yeah so you know still learning getting cute yeah they're like upset with you and Triple A ball CU they can't see you pitch out of the stretch enough I don't know how he does with the runners on base 45 St insane yeah yeah I saw you are you throwing a slinker yeah they call it a spinker I call it the Sinker o spinker what's the difference split and Sinker yeah what's the difference between the two so the splitter is like a true you split the ball you know in between your fingers or you spit uh obviously in between your fingers but basic kind of more in the middle of the ball the Sinker it's usually fingers together and it's just you know you throw it harder and it moves down and arm I I split my fingers a little bit I don't split the ball but I split my fingers a little bit M and it just comes off my fingers in a way that it breaks Spin and it makes the ball move down basically um not necessarily more than anybody else it's just a little bit different I think I just like the name the spinker spinker is a great name have you thought about throwing an ephas no offseason project yes dude the ephas would [ __ ] people up like every now and then like I'm not saying every game but if you had an epas just every I don't know once a month it would work yeah no one would expect it too slow for him yeah Zach grank yeah exactly yeah grank used to do it it was so much fun too because you're like what was that yeah and actually the only thing the only downside of the E is I feel like umps don't know how to call them yeah the the one that was 11 inches out of the strike zone you might get that call yeah maybe that'd be nice yeah so are you working on new pitches during the season or is that strictly an offseason thing uh I think it depends I I when I was in college last year when I was at LSU I I I you know I was holding a base ball one day and I'm like oh this this grip feels good and started throwing it I wanted it to be a gyro slider basically I was throwing the sweeper I wanted it to be something that was more down and um you know just straight down basically um and then I end up throwing it and it's it's a full-on curve ball which is what I'm throwing now and I started throwing it the next next to outing and that that that was how I did it last year I and it it it just worked but I haven't felt the need to do that this year um so you know we'll see where we're at next year year probably an offseason thing if I'm going to add stuff um yeah I just haven't felt the need to do that this year I love the idea of you just holding a baseball and being like Oh that I'm holding it differently than I've held it before let's see if I can throw it like this that's how that's how pitch design come I mean that you know that's how pretty much all my pitches yeah that's you should just carry on a baseball with you at all times yeah I've had be moving it and be like oh what's this few pitching coaches tell me I should you know drive around have at least one baseball in my truck you know um you know and just hold it while you know just play around with it oh that feels good yeah yeah um yeah I mean there there's something to it cuz that's how I that's how I figured out the Sinker spinker um that's how I figured out the curveball change up you know way back so to be funny if you were like out at a restaurant somebody's like I think that's Paul SK but I'm not sure and you're just holding a baseball looking at it so funny story on that that's how I knew I was going to go to LSU um because we we're I'm touring I'm on my official visit there and I'm touring around um went to the football stadium touring the campus that kind of thing and then we're going to dinner we're going to you know whatever Steakhouse it was with the coaches and it's just me and you know Jay Johnson our head coach Wes Johnson the pitching coach and then Josh Jordan our our recruiting coordinator so just me and three you know they're all like 55 56 and and then me and so it's kind of funny but well W Wes you know was the pitching coach he made me take a ball so we could go there and talk pitch grips and then within like 10 minutes of us being at dinner I'm like I'd be an idiot not to go here he just made me bring a baseball to Ruth CH or whatever it was I'm holding it while we're getting our you know calamari and that kind of thing and he's telling me about you know oh this is this you know seam shifted whatever and uh so I was like yeah that this is how I know I'm going to yeah that sounds like it's a good fit that also just dawned on me I never even thought about it but you're kind of right like I feel like all college coaches are just like short angry guys they do have a breed to them with college Co baseball coaches that's how we we had the I think we had the shortest coaching staff in in the country when I was there yeah yeah cuz I maybe it's because like I feel like Co catchers make really good coaches so it's a lot of catchers who are shorter yeah yeah but it does like I when I close my eyes and think of a college baseball coach it's like a 5 five angry guy super tan yeah super never worn sunscreen yeah like actually uncomfortably tan yeah we like it's should he get that checked out yeah I love that I I read that you were uh you were narc in college oh no n yeah is that true depends who you ask uh you would you would you would patrol around the uh the dorms and be like that guy's bed's not good enough oh so so yeah so so we had gosh what was it called um your your rooms have to be in ammy is what it's called Uh am inspection is you know that's how it is and and uh freshman your rooms had to be in Sammy condition Saturday morning inspection and we were uh I forget what the job was called but we're in you know in our Squadron there are 40 squadrons and then you have uh I can't even remember how many elements in flights there are just the breakdown of it but everybody has a job within the Squadron and so my job is basically to inspect other people's rooms other squadrons rooms in in uh during the day when I'm not in class and that kind of that's just how we do it so I I go to I go to someone's room and it was pretty tough you can't have your locks unlocked while you're there cuz that's a security violation you got to you know if you have classified documents and that kind of thing we're kind of just training for you know to be in the operational Air Force and you know locks were unlocked he had a big Chicago Bulls flag on Contraband yeah Contraband uhuh and I was like I if I put my name I was just thinking like I'm a sophomore if I put my name on this and you know a major or a lieutenant colonel or something walks by and sees this and sees that I give uh gave this guy a passing score when it's clearly not a passing score and which might have been a little bit Paranoid on my part but I was like screw it this guy needs to clean his room and I wrote like I don't know whatever 50% or whatever mhm um was he your friend no I didn't know oh that's got to suck to see like turn on the TV and see you dominating be like that was the guy that was the Arc maybe he was right maybe that inspires him to clean his what would you give this room we keep it pretty pretty TIY we pass well I mean it looks fun but but I mean you're not you're not sleeping in here or anything right I got classifi people I don't know this one this wouldn't be a and condition the air think but uh it's it's a pretty cool room we've also had like the last I do have this the last month we've been like we're going to clean we're going to clean oh that's sick F15 Eagle 104 and0 yeah all time record 40 never been shot down yeah um classified the uh I this this might be a dumb question because it kind of shows that I don't have a lot of ambition uh but I always like dream about uh being a major league baseball player not pitching but the days off are they awesome especially after you win so I do it differently okay I think if you asked somebody else it would be a a different answer but I I 90% of the time when we have a day off I'm at the field just all right so yeah this is my lack of ambition where I'm just like I would love to win a game and then just like [ __ ] around for four days yeah position players uh 95% of them don't come to the field you need you need your days off but some guys come to lift and you know hot tub cold tub whatever it is um but yeah I I don't a lot of guys you know golf or or you know do whatever on the day off you just love being at the field I just the way I see it like if I'm if I pitch you know I pitch every six days and if if the off Day falls on the fourth day I got to stay on schedule yeah that's just how I am but um yeah not not everybody probably why you're really good at pitching I me I basically daydream about the days off I'd be like I'm on vacation right now yeah yeah and and there are times where I need a day off too I mean it's such a long season than that it is it's crazy yeah it's literally three times as long as the college season yeah and you were talking earlier about you were a Friday night guy like you you were the guy that would get the ball in his hands on Friday nights and I you can sense like a a big sense of Pride when you say I was the Friday night guy yeah so I think I said that when I was cuz that's that was when I was at Air Force and I basically convinced the our coach to let me pitch on Friday so that I could start so that I could catch on Sundays because I couldn't catch on Friday and then throw on Sunday which is what he wanted me to do um um at the beginning and we just figured out that that like my I couldn't do that my arm would feel terrible and cuz we did that in the fall and uh yeah so that's you know I pitched on Fridays at Air Force and I pitched on Fridays at LSU obviously too so but that started just because I wanted to catch on on Sundays was did any pitchers ask you to maybe not throw it back so hard maybe at one point that that's like I never even it just dawned on me like Paul SK is throwing it back to you that kind of sucks that that was a hey dude that pitch sucked so here oh yeah yeah yeah um other than that i' I'd just lob it back yeah yeah yeah do you think you could compete in the Home Run Derby uh not right now okay um I I do think uh I think it was Marco Gonzalez one of our other pitchers who told told who said this earlier this year they need to have a pitchers Home Run Derby yeah oh I like that yeah and by at the end of my hitting career I was hitting like twice a week cuz that's all they would let me do cuz they're like you know we need to manage your back and your hips and you know that your shoulders that kind of thing so I'd hit twice a week and I just completely lost f for it and I was just spraying balls to right field that's the only place I could hit it that's the only I was hitting him out to right field but could not pull the ball at all so if we did a home run derby I would be just peppering it over the wall that's a great idea like I would watch I would watch the hell out Derby yeah well he doesn't isn't it he's about to win the MVP yeah he's just a freak like you know being in the game and pitching every six days like how insane is it that he's doing this where it's just he does everything yeah it's it's crazy and I I think one of the reasons that cuz my body didn't feel great when I would two-way but I was a righty hitter righty pitcher so I think um it might help him a little bit to be a righty pitcher and a lefty hitter just to balance it all out but regardless that's unbel he like I've never been in the locker room with him it but so I've never seen how hard he works and that kind of thing but it has to be just unbelievable work ethic intensity int all of it like to go out there and do that it's it's nuts unbelievable is there one guy that has hit exceptionally well off you like is there a guy that you're very careful around already um feels like I mean definitely him yeah um yeah I let me see I'm G look it up I feel like you've played against the Cubs a lot yeah we have I I probably shouldn't hold on let's see say just yeah yeah op say it say it yeah classified information no um your Ops are listening I don't know I I yeah the Cubs are tough to face they're not they really are no you don't have to say that no they are not they're not that tough uh all right let's see Cody Bellinger's two for seven off of you that's not great Nico's got a home run off you he's two for five he's probably the best and then uh yeah so that's yeah you can't get Nico out there you go yeah two for he's the Paul stopper yeah he's also got 2ks uh but that's oh no he has actually hasn't he hasn't gotten struck out by you but yeah so there it is Nico Horner yeah he's the Paul stopper we got one I guess so yeah um all right so I this has been awesome we're gonna like I said it's great that you're doing this work with the Gary sise Foundation we're going to match uh for the rest of the season I'm going to double so so go get some more strikeouts I had one last question rowback question rhob bac.com promo code take 20% off your first purchase qzip polos hoodies joggers shorts roback.com promo Cod

sometimes insult Clips I don't think it's it's Grand conspiracy we might we F that's the gig he's doing that is the gig no I know I mean remember the remember the be I think you actually commissioned the Bears hit piece on that's what I'm saying I get it I I just like to make did you commission that piece which one the one where the I was like week to week everything like oh no that was great though yeah that was listen that was an insult clip but it did crazy numbers right I was just I just I it was more that I think the 17th time I saw the TV thing I just laughed yeah Holly memes listen but it got a great feedback there's there's it's a good it's a good feeling I get it he found his people it made me laugh yeah no it made me like it's just found his crew just poking fun there also was a couple guys there was one guy who had a setup that he looked like uh was Morgan fre and Batman he had did you remember that did you see that memes that one guy set up jealous he had like 15 TVs that guy rocks that's pretty good also maybe I'm just walk cuz I I I remember when I was finally like we moved to New York I was like all right and then I'm I think I lived with roommates and when I finally moved in my own apartment there is no better feeling than getting though like but then I was having issues where like people were coming to my house being like what are you like what is this control center yeah when it's not a like a night of a sporting event and somebody walks in there you should see my they're like what is this what closed circuit television cameras are these hook so I'm no longer in that game but I I kind of miss it I love the outdoor TV setup yeah if especially this time of year this is a good outdoor weekend to watch football yeah memes I got to send you my setup I got five I love it I love it yeah people just sending me TVs it's incredible it's the best maximum amount of TVs I I actually I can't get enough of it memes I want you to post it more yeah no me too I had a plan for Sunday oh hell yes let's go memes Holly memes okay uh and I'm not going to I'm not going to I I mean I feel like my my rep is just complaining about M so I'm not going to do it nine daughter I'm GNA do it I saw that amateur did it yeah an amateur did it memes posted that there's a chance that well I think I posted first uh oh so mem stole your content no that's that's he's doing his job he just doing his job uh and I'm not I'm not complaining because I I accepted it I could have voted it but I didn't and the reason this is really good that you're not complaining that I did it know I'm just I'm just I don't even know what he's talking about right now my Hanks firest I love nine daughters so my he can't he can't complain about his firefest my Tik Tok algorithm is is nine daughters so in my head I've like I've seen so many nine daughters right how hard could it be so that was my thinking when I accepted it and then afterwards when the show ended and we looked into the probability and math of it I came to the realization that I made a mistake uh that's not a firefest last Saturday last week of the year boat party I showed up like 80 person boat party white party didn't know are you talking about the when Kent State and Pittsburgh were playing it was the day of Kent State Pittsburgh okay I showed up to a boat uh there's there people on board no why there's Brothers everyone was wearing white ex you were the only person there was like one other guy but he was like kind of like purplish later I was wearing like a a neon blue shirt this is why we never get invited to to the Fanatics party yeah so what happened it was just kind of awkward and it was like I knew I knew a few people on the boat but it was like mostly a bigger group of friends that I was like I was like not in why didn't they have T-shirts for people I don't know they should I mean every was cool it was just it was it would if it was like our all my friends it's one thing to like you know joke about but I was kind of like introduced yeah that's brutal I would have gone home and watched Ken State Pittsburgh was on boat well you knew before you got on the boat I knew as I was there like one of one of you stepped on the boat knowing I gu yeah yeah I wouldn't have gotten on the boat but I also thought it was like yeah it's a wipe because one some that else was going on the boat like are you wearing white and I'm on the way there I was like why would I be wearing white he's like it's a white party and I was like and then I was like well we're here yeah yeah I feel like if you're having a white party you have to have an extra t-shirt or two yeah you have to have some linen pants people a chance yeah you got to be ready for that how is this white party advertised I just got an invite like from a I think they were just trying to fill out the boat it was like I said it was a bigger group of like college friends got it and then they were just trying to get you were the weird guy but nobody told you oh was the extra invite yeah my invite didn't it's the guy's fault yeah fren guy I don't like the white the white party like no one looks like great in white why don't we do a sweatshirt party well some people look good and white yeah that's true who's that people that aren't fat yeah yeah I thought maybe had Brides yeah Brides yeah Brides you're a wedding guy yeah I got another one the Saints with their Stormtrooper yeah I thought the Ravens look good in white tonight Stormtroopers Ravens sweatshirt party I'll host it wear your baggiest sweatshirt I mean that's a Sunday yeah okay yeah you're invited yeah yeah okay uh PFT good firefest tank thanks uh went to a sick boat party yeah not dressed correctly what a fire 80 person Boat Part a 80 person white yeah well the rest of us were we're we're just living our sad life watching MAC football I was on a boat with with all these people getting drunk uh on a perfect day outside it was a really nice day wait didn't you also golf that day I did also oh what a day a good day oh that day his day was filled with not watching football at what point during this day hang it sounds like you were pretty busy on the course and then going out to the lake at what point did you get a chance to peek in at the Wisconsin game that was Friday night he watched every second of that somehow it was well it was just on at the ball yeah you watch every second mhm all right PF uh my firest of the week is uh it's Blake related so I picked Blake up from daycare the other day and uh put him in the El Camino and he loves to ride home sticks his head out the window and has a great time saying hi to everybody in the neighborhood uh as I was leaving there was a uh a little person that was walking by a child a little there was it was a little person and Blake looked like he was going to attack this little person I mean like went out of his way to really let the little person no don't get near my car and I think that Blake might be racist against little people because there was one point where I brought him into the office and uh he saw zah in the office he started barking his head off at zah nobody else and then I was I for a second I was ashamed I was like is my dog racist and then we had to see if he was racist and he didn't bark at anybody else who had darker skin and so I'm like okay cool my dog's not racist but now there's beginning to be a pattern where I see evidence that he does not like little people m isn't this something that starts at the home yeah well that's what I was thinking I'm a little I'm a little person yeah no it sounds like you might be like oh self like he can tell that my own hatred for my own small stature well I think you probably look down on people smaller than you well yeah because my eyes are higher right but you also were like oh at least I'm not that height huh I don't I don't know what it is Vibes The Vibes would say that cuz I was I was thinking the same thing I was like he spends all his time around me and I'm you know I'm not a tall I'm not a tall man yeah but I'm not a small man I'm a little bit small I'm a little bit small also firefest is a picture of me you and Paul skes because I haven't looked at it I don't plan on looking at it but I got to I got to find shorter people to hang out with I mean I'm I'm dealing with my at once a year I shave the whole face just mustache for advisors and I just realize that my chin is just hideous I don't think you look you look good this year you look good this year this is just it's flabby Shane got it Shane just zoomed in on it for Stella Blue coffee by the way buy Stella Blue coffee fall flavors out Stella Blue coffee.com um next turn inter turn we get can they be on the shoulder side just so I don't look so short in pictures no because then they they can't take care of Blake that's true that's a very good point yeah but yeah so I don't know what if if that's an actual thing where some dogs don't like little people I think it's a you I think there no bad dogs oh my God I look so fat but he loves kids yeah that's that's weird he we look bad with Paul SCH don't twe oh no we shouldn't say that memes going yeah that's all he's going to Tweet well good news Hank maybe this means that he'll just stop posting his living room also really bad oh my God this is a bad yeah really really bad to do we got to we as guys we as guys got to stop doing the arms around each other it's the [ __ ] weirdest thing we do this picture goes nowhere no everyone just stand with your arms to the sides maybe Flex there's nothing worse than doing the awkward like post golf round 10 dudes just standing with their arms around each other you don't look good when you put your arm like this Hank if you release this picture the Drake May t-shirt comes out oh [ __ ] all right I'll delete it did you post it well the Drake you already posted posted it what the [ __ ] that was like three seconds no okay Jesus that was so quick that was so quick after he complained all day about memes wow joking this isn't a bad hypocrisy um all right my firefest is easy is quick uh I went to we we right before the game I went to my son's school kindergarten he started kindergarten two weeks ago and he had his uh like meet the teacher like see his classroom parent night um and there was these pictures up and all the kids did like my name is I'm this old years old and I love this and like every single kid was like Mommy and Daddy my dog all these things I don't think you can probably tell what this is PFT but you can take a look and take a guess this is what he loves um I don't know yeah I don't know what that is I asked him TVs nope rocks okay loves rocks so that's what I got I'm I'm second place to rocks yeah he's goingon to be a geologist it was just two rocks I love rocks every other kid was just like Mommy and Daddy I love my family rocks yeah he's going to study he's study the Earth just like okay dude that was such a great time as a kid though cuz I feel like every kid went through a phase where they just were obsessed with rocks oh yeah he dude he no he no like you dig up a rock and you hold am I am I weird for that finding like finding like looking around for rocks and be like oh my God this is a great oh I'll I'll we'll go like to the park and then when we get home I'll like notice his pockets are sagging and there's just rocks in there he's just collecting all the Rocks remember geodes yeah geod were great I I will say in his defense though there was another moment where he saw one of his friends and his friend was like my dad's so strong and my son was like my dad's actually the strongest I was like [ __ ] yes finally love that finally so I'm back I'm all the way back love it my daughter said I could lift a school bus the other day I might have to do that that might be one that might be a punishment lifting a school bus yeah for picks I could probably do it yeah yeah I mean there's videos of people doing it yeah right what videos oh what if we had to do strong man you had to like tow a uh remember they to yeah they use to like fire truck [ __ ] and stuff like that where they have to pick up the giant rock and walk with it oh we should do a CrossFit but the murf or whatever it is no no get so hurt get so hurt we' get so somebody just died doing that yeah well they were swimming it's part of the CrossFit I understand it wasn't I don't think it was murf that was also very tragic yeah it was yeah horrendously tragic there's people everywhere I still want you guys to set up your own podcast yeah we will yeah we will that video will be funny yeah we will maybe in football off got n we got the advertiser too oh okay signed on oh nice they did yeah your closing deals principal the weed guy [ __ ] yes okay he he rocks what did he say oh uh what is he drink in the morning J he's I don't know I can't remember something really cool j latte or something

morning I was like yeah okay R Rasta yeah uh Max you got one yeah it's bad oh oh yeah I know you're firest L on us no I didn't even tell you the real fire Fest oh oh no cuz you do have a fire fest tomorrow night what that trying to figure out how to watch the game tomorrow night why yeah cuz Mr nupes is going to another wedding you have another wedding tomorrow I have another one this week I have another one next week and I have won two weeks after that I feel like Max is the wedding ringer where they just bring you're a good wedding guest so you get invited I am great how did they all do their weddings in the fall they're all I I didn't go to any this summer they're all in sep in August and September insane four and five weeks I'm excited for all of them anyone who listens I'm sure they're all great I what sounds like you really love them no I do they're fun I do I mean weddings are great it is awesome you got to meet Trump not necessarily I didn't meet him he was he was there though um my firefest is that I'm fat and I have a deviated septum what huh you have a deviated septum did you just got it no I've had one oh okay for a while snoring so you have Dev septum in a in a bad toe Yeah well yeah okay I've been at these are F these are fat guy injuries well no it sounds like Max let them finish like I got a I got a rotten toe and deviated septum that's those are faty I don't think these these are all things think either those are faty they snoring the rotten toe is and it sounds like maybe you're waking your neighbor's dog up in the morning and that's why your dog starts barking waking you up uh no okay Cas keep going keep going sorry sorry sorry sorry I don't know I just got to figure it out um my nose is clogged at all times like I can rarely breathe out my nose and I'm trying the mouth tape and like I I go to sleep with the mouth tape on and then I just at some point of the night just rip it off because like I I can't breathe that so this is what I do at Camp when you ate the mouth tape I didn't eat the mouth tape yeah you did we woke up the next morning you're like I don't know where my mouth tape is you ate the mouth tape in the middle of I didn't eat it i% what happened find not what I did find it I did find it it was just like underneath my bed underneath my bed whatever I need this is honestly like a plea to awls who because I got I got kicked out of my bed this my bed this week which was which was a real like I got to figure this out oh no I I actually do think that you're waking the dog up and that's why the dog wakes you up no because the dog wakes up at 6:15 every you get one of those like Tik Tok videos where they like pour tea out like through one of your nostrils comes out the other one and then you're good [ __ ] and it doesn't it's been it's bad recently I don't know if it's allergies or something like there's something that happened maybe maybe it is are we are we worried it is the and I want to say this in the nicest way possible this is gonna this is going to you don't start something like that and then say anything remotely nice Mrs delente if you're listening to this podcast right now turn it off right now we don't need you anymore she's going to listen okay turn it off are we like in the like Max could die in a sleep stage no no no it feels like you're struggling to breathe in the middle of the night no with that was with the mouth tape I I think that snoring is the one ailment or whatever you want to call it that people go through that has the most like quack science remedies that don't work I've been trying like the ones at the bottom of the shittiest news articles you'll ever read where it's the sponsored post things it's like here's how to C cure snoring tie a tennis ball around your waist I I haven't seen any of that but if anyone wants to tell me something like that I'll try it do your girlfriend try and plug your nose no she that's what I do with to my brother I would just walk up and just [ __ ] what a dick but it it would stop him I mean he do he would do it to me we lived in the same room I snored too like you guys just spent the whole childhood plugging each other's noses your parents walk in and it looks like Hank's trying to kill his brother like like I'm sniffling at all times I just sniff I just sniffled right there it's just I got to figure out a way because the mouth tap tape is fine and I put in nasal spray before I go to bed and it's fine I go to sleep and it and it and I don't snore and it's great but then Midway through the night like the the nasal spray wears off and then my nose is just plugged again you might be addicted to nasal spray your body might be addicted to it so when it goes like hours without it it just gets stuffy no but this is a this is like a past week thing oh I don't know I don't know I got like I got to try the like do you think those those nasal strips can't do anything right I think you need one of the the huge machines like the iron lung you need an iron lung it's not that bad but like the like you don't right am I right like the you know you got to try it dude sounds like you got to try we sleep upside down that's that sounds bad no I got to try it if anyone out there knows any remedies let me know you know that you know like the tea I'm talking about no are you talking about the netti pot yeah you use the mouth tape right yes I use a mouth tape it helps you should do it on the podcast but I do I do uh then you say I don't talk uh can't exist that's true you're right you're right on that one yeah the nety pot but yeah sometimes n no nety pot rocks nety pot's wild but also you can die from the netti pot did you know that no if you don't use like the right water it can like go into your brain and kill you from if there's an amoeba a Brin eating amoeba that's inside your water and then pour it into your nose it goes into your brain yeah crazy that's why you want to boil that [ __ ] I would say it's like 25% of the time I wake up with the mouth tape still on I either like drool through it and it falls off or I just rip it off off in my sleep that's how I with the with the old uh the uh Bluetooth blindfold in the morning I wake up and it's like on the ground somewhere I don't know if I was listening to a podcast that I hated and I threw it off it's like God damn it Alex Cooper she's done it again I'll never be as so the awls need to come to your defense basically just let me know all right someone come to your rescue I your life I don't know what it is I like this instead of seeing doctors we just ask the listeners I like that help us out I'm just going to use that for my fire fat ailment I do should we all do a sleep study I did a sleep study when I was a kid no I I don't want to know sleep terrible I I don't sleep and when I do I sweat like that could be kind of funny yeah maybe maybe we should do some sleep worst who's the best who's the worst sleeper how could this could be sponsored I bet you there's a place that's doing this we should do a sleep study I do a sleep stud study when I was a kid yeah I'd like to see all our I was falling asleep while driving the only the only requ I I can't have the wait what when you said kid I thought you meant like what no like high school you fell asleep while driving not fall I would just doze off and did you crash I didn't crash I in the morning on the way to school no at like 6: a.m. I would like drive for like baseball practice at like 5:00 I I was just doing too much [ __ ] I was waking up too early and like working out and going to baseball practice you might have n gr that's what happens no true true dude falling almost falling asleep driving is the scariest oh yeah that's why I had to sleep study couple times where it's like I've been so exhausted and it's idot you just got to pull over and and shut your eyes scariest thing Max I just looked up WebMD remedies for snoring they're going to say that I'm dying wait wait wait wait wait just tell tell me if you would consider any of these lose weight yep yep why don't we jelly slicer anymore lose weight no we'll eat Meats nothing else carbs avoid alcohol nope okay practice good sleep hygiene I I guess I do I don't even know what that means I think it means you I like take a shower before bed it sounds like you might sleep too hard I SLE like when you turn off you're off yeah uh open nasal passages what does that even [ __ ] mean that means like use some of that use some of the yeah whatever called yeah maybe the Breathe Right Strips will work uh cuz the mouth tape works I just I rip it off and then it doesn't work anymore when was the last time you washed your pillows literally like the yesterday okay God those pillows could talk
