Caleb Williams Is That Dude, Unless You're the PFF Grader · The Regulars

• 0:04
  After a full offseason, the NFL
• 0:07
  is back. After an entire day, dare I say 2
• 0:11
  days, Tanya, we have had so many technical difficulties that we
• 0:15
  are back. And holy shit, Media Corner
• 0:19
  is gonna get real ugly real fast because of you, ESPN, and what you're fucking
• 0:22
  doing, or trying to do, to college sports.
• 0:25
  We are about as effective at getting this show live
• 0:29
  as, uh, Justin Herbert is at closing out a fucking game. Nailed it,
• 0:33
  nailed it, nailed it. Cold open done. We're the regulars.
• 0:37
  Well, we even have an intro, apparently.
• 0:48
  Did you miss us? We don't have intros, we don't have fade-ins.
• 0:52
  We don't have our graphics right now because we had to do, and I shit
• 0:57
  you not, yeah, a full-on factory reset. And I can't stress
• 1:01
  this enough, I normally don't tell you what I'm drinking, but today I'm drinking tequila.
• 1:04
  Antiguo Tequila. It's my favorite tequila and I need it very, very much. Why am
• 1:08
  I willing to say this right now? Because you can't buy this in the United
• 1:11
  States, so I don't give a shit if I have their name on this.
• 1:14
  I am currently just updating everyone on Threads that we are actually live.
• 1:18
  We're actually live finally. Oh, but thank you so
• 1:22
  much for those who have stuck with us right now. We see our live viewers.
• 1:24
  Yes, we got lots and lots and lots to talk about today. And of course,
• 1:27
  we got a show first Tuesday of the NFL season. Yes,
• 1:30
  officially underway here for the regulars. That's the reason we're doing Tuesdays.
• 1:34
  That is why we are doing Tuesdays, because of Monday Night Football. We want to
• 1:37
  make sure everybody has the opportunity to watch it. And here we are live giving
• 1:40
  you ready for Week 2, because right now we get
• 1:44
  a full recap of Week 1, our thoughts, our feelings, and man
• 1:49
  Lots of, uh, lots of takes, lots of opinions. Also,
• 1:52
  um, I did my first Substack live chat for my paid subscribers yesterday.
• 1:56
  We just— we went into a Discord, which I've never done before. I was like
• 1:59
  a boomer in there. I was like, I don't know how this works. There was
• 2:02
  a few people in there that like knew how it worked, and, uh, it went
• 2:05
  well. We were chatting up— my mom was in there, uh,
• 2:08
  my, my internet famous friend BMO the Prince was in there. So people
• 2:12
  were— people were loving it. I love it. Um, and yeah, so if you're interested
• 2:16
  in doing like a, like a hangout before Monday Night Football,
• 2:21
  um, or sometime on Monday. I think for right now it's before Monday Night Football.
• 2:25
  I'll be doing that on my Substack for paid subscribers. You'll get the,
• 2:28
  the Discord link. But also, you and I might end up somewhere
• 2:32
  in here. We're not helping our cause here to get
• 2:36
  to 1K subscribers. No, we really hurt ourselves for this last week because it's— and
• 2:40
  this is true, by the way— last Tuesday was our most live-viewed show we've ever
• 2:44
  done, and then we blew it. And then Friday came along and our whole system
• 2:47
  kind of crashed on us, and so we did a taped show Put it out
• 2:50
  there, got it out there to you guys. And thank you, everybody. Like, share,
• 2:52
  and subscribe wherever you get your favorite podcasts. But yeah, dude, it was a fucking
• 2:56
  shit show. And then today, same exact shit show. I'm not kidding.
• 2:59
  It was me and Mocha over there for the last 45 minutes hitting factory resets,
• 3:04
  hitting every button humanly known to man. And we don't have any of
• 3:07
  our normal graphics. We don't have our normal stuff. We are— we were trying to
• 3:10
  revamp our graphics anyway, which is actually— this might end up being a weird blessing
• 3:14
  in disguise. So, okay, we are going to redo our graphics and we appreciate all
• 3:17
  of you guys hanging with us. Throughout this entire process. And yeah, we are the
• 3:21
  regulars. Cody Decker, Tonya Rae Fox, and all of you. And we are currently at
• 3:25
  922 subscribers. We are getting close
• 3:29
  to our 1,000 mark, which is what we're trying to get to. And I'm hoping
• 3:32
  by the end of the show we're going to do ourselves some favors. Yeah,
• 3:35
  well, we will. We'll see. There's no reason to
• 3:38
  really delay it. Our headline number 1 without the graphic, but with
• 3:43
  the real intent behind it. Yes. Is that the NFL has officially
• 3:47
  wrapped up week 1. Yes, and it was
• 3:50
  full of, uh, duds but also surprises. Lots.
• 3:54
  I think this is a weird thing. You can tell me if this
• 3:57
  is just me, people in the chat, you can say if it's just me,
• 3:59
  but like, I feel like the last couple of years specifically, I would say the
• 4:03
  last 2 seasons specifically, that there's been this weird thing
• 4:07
  happening where the primetime games, which are objectively good matchups,
• 4:10
  are kind of a bummer, and then the 10 AM slate out here,
• 4:14
  the 1 PM slate is fucking full of bangers. Yeah.
• 4:18
  And I feel like that's like a thing that keeps happening because it's not like
• 4:21
  they scheduled bad games for any— for any of the 4 primetime
• 4:25
  games this year. This week, they were all objectively like should have been good games
• 4:29
  and they were fine. Like, I mean, there were some— I think the
• 4:33
  Giants-Cowboys turned into something that was like a little bit more interesting,
• 4:36
  but like otherwise they just weren't that interesting. Not at all.
• 4:40
  And God, dude, damn, 10 AM. I was like, dude,
• 4:43
  I felt like I was in The Matrix. I had the Quad Box going with
• 4:47
  the Red Zone on another TV. I had the thing and I was like,
• 4:49
  I don't know what— I don't know how to pay attention to all these games.
• 4:52
  I need like an assistant. I need, I need someone in an IFB telling
• 4:56
  me what's fucking happening. So I'll tell you this, the one marquee matchup that I
• 5:00
  think both of us can agree with because it's actually first on the list,
• 5:02
  the one marquee matchup that lived up to every semblance of the fucking
• 5:05
  billing Dude, Bills and fucking Texans.
• 5:09
  Well, Bills and Texans is technically second on the list, but, but that
• 5:13
  was a fucking banger game. We had 2 playoff teams playing each other,
• 5:17
  AFC. It was a banger game. It was not— it
• 5:21
  was not the defense that we expected from the Texans.
• 5:24
  And that was really interesting to me because I
• 5:28
  think it's— I'm really hoping that it's like them getting some kinks
• 5:32
  worked out. By the way, defense across the league fucking blew this year. It was
• 5:36
  insane. It was not good. I'm also angry. Is that Tiny pointing out no
• 5:40
  team in the NFC South won a game? Yeah, he's really mad about this because
• 5:43
  I think he's a Bucs fan. I'm pretty sure. Are you a Bucs fan?
• 5:46
  That sucks. And to be fair, my first place, they didn't.
• 5:50
  To be fair, they didn't. And we will get to the Saints game, by the
• 5:54
  way. Yeah, but what'd you say? I just wanted to point out my first place
• 5:58
  Raiders. Just— oh, first place Raiders. That's right. I'm not going to get a chance
• 6:01
  to say it a whole lot this year, but right now, no, I'm in fucking
• 6:03
  first place. Absolutely. Kirk Cousins, baby. Thank you, my guy.
• 6:06
  But the Texans defense has got to get their shit together.
• 6:10
  I will— you tell me, Cody. Yeah, people are— listen,
• 6:14
  this is not going to shock you, but people are so high on Josh Allen's
• 6:17
  performance. Boy, I thought Josh Allen was great. I thought he looked great.
• 6:21
  He looked very much like the Josh Allen we're used to, which is absolutely dominant
• 6:24
  and then making some really fucking wild choices.
• 6:28
  I'm glad you said that because here's the thing. My takeaway from that game was
• 6:31
  the best player on the Bills outside of Josh Allen And I forgot his name
• 6:35
  already, so I sincerely apologize— was the, uh, was the
• 6:39
  DB or whoever it was that dropped that very, very, very easy
• 6:42
  interception that would have iced out the game completely.
• 6:45
  Because that was one of the dumb— if it weren't for one,
• 6:49
  that being dropped, yeah, and if it weren't for Drake Maye, I would have said
• 6:53
  that was the dumbest fucking pass I had ever seen until I saw the Chargers
• 6:58
  game. And let's not give— let Dak Prescott off the hook either for that stupid-ass
• 7:02
  interception. Dak Prescott off the hook because at the very least Dak
• 7:05
  is consistent. He's always, he's always above average. And he,
• 7:09
  he didn't win his MVP the year that he was up against Lamar and he
• 7:13
  deserves a little slack. But I was like, I'm very surprised
• 7:18
  by the idea that like everybody was— why am I—
• 7:21
  I'm lying. Of course I'm not fucking surprised that people are overhyping
• 7:25
  Josh Allen doing Josh Allen things, both good and bad. He,
• 7:29
  he was the best of Josh Allen and then we almost saw like— and he
• 7:32
  was the worst of Josh Allen and it almost cost them the game. Game.
• 7:34
  Uh, people have preferred not to talk about that. To be quite honest, Cody,
• 7:39
  I actually don't feel the need to talk about it except for the fact that
• 7:43
  there's also this weird thing happening around the objectively best
• 7:48
  perform— the, like, the, the objective best, most exciting performance
• 7:52
  at quarterback at— of, of all of the offenses
• 7:56
  all week was Caleb Williams and the Bears. It was unbelievable. It was fucking
• 8:00
  unbelievable. It was Remember that game a few years back between
• 8:04
  the Chiefs and the Rams that like reset offense?
• 8:07
  Offensive? It was just like, it was like 50 to like 45
• 8:12
  or whatever. It was just like one of those games where Mahomes
• 8:15
  was cooking, Stafford was cooking. Yeah, he's like, we've never seen offense like that
• 8:18
  security guard meme where he's not touching the person at all. Yeah.
• 8:22
  You know, and for me, the— it was like
• 8:26
  Everything was working the way that a, that a
• 8:30
  Ben Johnson, you know, offense should be working.
• 8:33
  Defense was— didn't show up to the game. We got to see the, the very
• 8:37
  best of what Bryce Young has to offer in that game on top of everything
• 8:40
  else. Great game. They're, they're just— their defense was kind of trash and didn't hold
• 8:44
  up. But like, we, we're,
• 8:47
  we're in a— have you seen the PFF grades by
• 8:51
  any chance? A little bit, yeah. Okay, so Caleb
• 8:55
  Williams, 124.1 passer rating,
• 8:58
  2 passing touchdowns. By the way, we do have those 3 graphics that you sent
• 9:02
  me. Yeah, we do have them. So when you— do we have to throw to
• 9:04
  them? Do we have a Caleb Williams one though? We have one that was a
• 9:07
  passer rating one that you sent. Okay, so we're going to wait on that for
• 9:10
  a sec. Okay. Like it's coming. Okay. I'm very excited to use our very few
• 9:13
  graphics. Graphics we have, right? So he— so you
• 9:17
  saw the game. We don't. And then on top of it, DeAndre Swift, incredible game.
• 9:21
  Yeah. I think DeAndre Swift has really like come into
• 9:24
  his own as a player since he has been with a mobile quarterback. So once
• 9:28
  he went to Philly and he was with Philly for a year, and then since
• 9:30
  he's been with Caleb on the Bears,
• 9:34
  this is something that we see. It's something that we saw with Saquon. It's something
• 9:37
  that we've seen with Derrick Henry. I mean, not that Derrick Henry
• 9:40
  was not already incredible, but he swung back and
• 9:45
  the PFF grade For Caleb Williams, Cody, I can't believe you don't know this.
• 9:49
  He was given the 20th best grade
• 9:54
  or worst. He was ranked 20th in PFF grades
• 9:58
  among quarterbacks this week. Okay.
• 10:01
  This is the level of propaganda we've reached. And now people
• 10:05
  don't— I don't think people understand. Do you know this, Cody, that PFF grades are
• 10:10
  actually— they're not just like, oh, a random bunch of people who decide
• 10:14
  to rank stuff. They are used frequently, not only by
• 10:18
  front offices. Some don't like them at all. Some love them.
• 10:22
  But they're also used in contract negotiations. So when I talk about
• 10:25
  something being really out of whack, it actually matters.
• 10:28
  Yeah. Do you think that Caleb Williams had some, some objectionable
• 10:33
  flaws in the game that would have seen him drop to the 20th best performance
• 10:37
  among quarterbacks this week? Now, let me tell you, let me explain to you
• 10:41
  why my answer is no. Okay,
• 10:44
  I played fantasy football this time. Oh, you had him?
• 10:48
  No, no, I didn't have him. I played against the guy who did. Oh no,
• 10:52
  he put up fucking 50 points. Yeah, he put up
• 10:56
  almost as many as they put up in the game. Put up fucking 50
• 11:00
  points in fantasy. Fuck it, 50.
• 11:03
  Those of you that play fantasy football, you're happy if fucking
• 11:07
  5 of your guys can put together 50 points.
• 11:11
  Caleb Williams covered the Madden game this year, by the way.
• 11:15
  50 fucking points. As of right now,
• 11:20
  he's the— like, right now, right now, he should
• 11:23
  be the best quarterback in the NFL. Like, one. Now, I don't think he's the
• 11:27
  best quarterback in the NFL. I actually give that to our boy Lamar Jackson.
• 11:31
  Yeah, but based on just that game, if we're
• 11:34
  only going one game, he's in the fucking top 5. He's— I mean,
• 11:37
  if we're going on the top 5 performances of this week, No question. And,
• 11:41
  and going off of goodwill from the playoffs, right? Like,
• 11:44
  he had a very, very good playoffs last year. He should absolutely
• 11:48
  be, uh, being looked at as like, holy shit, is this
• 11:52
  guy the next guy? Um, so I thought that that was weird. The conver—
• 11:55
  there was a lot of conversation too around Lamar and Caleb having excellent,
• 11:59
  uh, rushing performances by their running backs, which is like, yeah, dude. Um,
• 12:03
  I, I said this in a video I made. When you have a really great
• 12:07
  mobile quarterback, it really helps your fucking running back.
• 12:10
  That's why those packages exist. That's why RPOs and
• 12:14
  read options and all those things get— they open up
• 12:17
  when you have 2 fucking run threats, guys. Oh, also, by the
• 12:21
  way, Lamar's one of the most accurate passers in the league. Oh,
• 12:24
  by the way, has been for a couple of years. God forbid you look up
• 12:28
  those stats. He has the 2nd highest passer rating in the history of the NFL.
• 12:30
  Yeah, he's fucking good. Aaron Rodgers is fucking good. So that will help out your
• 12:34
  run. Running back, just so we're clear. No question about it. But I also—
• 12:39
  can we just get to Lamar? We gotta get to Lamar where he's at.
• 12:41
  Like, because I want to get to Lamar. Yeah. One, and it's in the
• 12:45
  rundown, I'm sorry, I'm going to use this exact phrase. Yeah, the fucking Ravens are
• 12:49
  terrifying. Yeah, terrifying, terrifying. If this team stays healthy, they're terrifying.
• 12:52
  I think they're the best team in the AFC if they're healthy. I think they're
• 12:56
  that terrifying. Zay Flowers getting, getting hurt, and like, that was like— it
• 13:00
  took a little bit of steam out of the offense, and even still it wasn't,
• 13:02
  you know, It was never really Derrick Henry. I would
• 13:06
  really, really love for the Ravens to have a tight
• 13:11
  end that moves. I feel like there's a puppet
• 13:15
  master that just takes Mark Andrews and moves him around the field like a
• 13:18
  chess piece, just puts him there so he can catch it and then he fucking
• 13:21
  stands there. I've never seen— he gets like somehow negative yards after the catch.
• 13:25
  I don't— I've never seen anything like it. But otherwise the team is really
• 13:28
  stacked and their defense looks amazing. Jesse Minter, Did you watch
• 13:32
  Jesse Minter during that game? Yes. That dude seemed like he was the happiest.
• 13:36
  He was so fucking into everything. The dudes really love playing for him. Everything coming
• 13:40
  out of the offseason around the culture he's created has been super
• 13:44
  positive. Um, I just can't imagine what they would look
• 13:48
  like if they had Isaiah Likely instead of fucking Mark Andrews.
• 13:51
  But I— but man, they are terrifying. I was really excited to watch them
• 13:55
  play. Uh, Lamar is just Just fucking unreal. Uh, the,
• 13:59
  the 2 rushers coming in and
• 14:03
  him dipping underneath them. So there's this— I'm sure
• 14:07
  people in the chat— calmness of it too. It was like he— they collided
• 14:11
  like a fucking cartoon, right? But the best part, and I saw this really amazing
• 14:15
  video, hopefully I saved it and I can send it to you, but, um,
• 14:18
  there's this amazing side shot of that in like full 4K.
• 14:22
  And you can hear the crowd in the background.
• 14:25
  And he, just as he's ducking through them to escape
• 14:29
  the sack, the crowd in Indy is cheering loud.
• 14:34
  It almost sounds like they're Ravens fans because they're all convinced he's
• 14:37
  sacked. Like from their POV, they think he just got sacked. And then he
• 14:41
  just comes out of the fucking cloud of dust and they're all like, what the—
• 14:45
  the whole moment is just like, oh my God,
• 14:49
  it was so good. He's so Fucking good. And he was
• 14:53
  running again. He was— they were designing runs for him and they were letting him
• 14:57
  loose again. Like, goddamn. And then Derrick Henry at 30, what,
• 15:00
  32 years old? 32 years old. Like a fucking steam
• 15:04
  fucking engine. Now that, my guy, callback to last show,
• 15:08
  that is a first ballot Hall of Famer. I would agree. That guy is just,
• 15:12
  just not normal. But man, this was— it was a fun weekend. All right,
• 15:15
  so let's— now that we've gotten done with our fun parts of the show,
• 15:18
  Let's get to, um, holy shit Rams, we got a problem. Yeah, what the
• 15:22
  f— I, I'm on like, just full transparency, those of you that are
• 15:26
  new to the show, new subscribers, welcome to the show. Hi, I'm Cody. Obviously Tanya
• 15:29
  is probably the one that brought you here. Here's the deal, I am on LA
• 15:32
  radio, I'm doing a lot of talking about the Rams, but I'm not talking
• 15:35
  about the Rams only because I'm on LA radio. The Rams are a very unique
• 15:39
  story, very unique offseason story. They had such a fucking insane offseason,
• 15:42
  defending MVP, shortest odds to win the Super Bowl before they
• 15:46
  even got their hands on the Defensive Player of the Year, and the rumors
• 15:49
  around Aaron Donald now Aaron Donald coming back, is back officially.
• 15:53
  Like, everything around this team— forget, of course, don't forget,
• 15:57
  but in this context of the story,
• 15:59
  forget for a second the Puka Nacua bullshit insane offseason he
• 16:03
  had. If you can just ignore that, I would say the Rams had almost like
• 16:07
  this immaculate perfect offseason where the vibes were just through the roof,
• 16:10
  and literally it's sunshine, rainbows, and kittens.
• 16:14
  They're a shoo-in to host the fucking Super Bowl again.
• 16:19
  Tanya, what the fuck just happened? I mean,
• 16:23
  the Myles Garrett knee thing is super
• 16:26
  interesting to me because he had some knee stuff happening,
• 16:31
  and then all that, um, training footage came out of him like training with
• 16:35
  a new guy, teaching him new like tackling techniques. Oh, you mean the rugby guy?
• 16:38
  Yeah, the rugby guy that's like droided out. You want to get over here so
• 16:41
  you can tackle them this way? Yeah. And then you want to fuck
• 16:45
  him up. But it's, it's, it changes the complexion of everything specifically
• 16:50
  because we saw really good pass rushing from like across the— like,
• 16:54
  I, I, you know, we had great performances from,
• 16:57
  you know, TJ Watt and Aiden Hutchinson. And just
• 17:01
  there's a, there's a— Crosby had a fucking— did Max have
• 17:05
  a good day? He just looked good. He looked ferocious again. Yeah, it was like,
• 17:08
  oh, this is some vintage. Yeah, I'm not gonna spoil it for you, but I
• 17:11
  did not watch a lot of the Raiders You, you know what, but I— they
• 17:15
  would have surprised you. I have seen— of course I always make sure I go
• 17:18
  back and see like some films, some highlights. Like, I didn't actually get to like
• 17:22
  really sit and watch. Dude, I'm not kidding. I'm, I'm making the campaign, the race
• 17:26
  for 6. I just want 6 wins. Yeah, as a Raider fan, that's all I
• 17:28
  want. You've already got one. I, I think this team— you're 6th of the way
• 17:31
  there. This team could get 7. I really thought it was that impressive.
• 17:36
  All right, well, you know what, I would love to see them do it 2
• 17:38
  weeks in a row. Do you know who they play next week? Chargers, baby.
• 17:41
  Okay, fuck yeah, bro. Here, let's do it at a home game in LA.
• 17:43
  I love it. Hell yeah. Fuck you, Chargers. We do have to talk about
• 17:47
  what happened in that fucking Vikings game, dude.
• 17:50
  I— so number one, I can't believe it. How do you feel about the
• 17:54
  hit on Kyler? Because I know,
• 17:57
  I know where I feel. Slow down. I think it looks
• 18:01
  worse than it really was. I think it was a car accident that just—
• 18:05
  the second hit that actually kind of got him did worry me,
• 18:08
  but Are you insinuating foul play of
• 18:13
  a miss? I don't think it's foul. I don't think so. I never think that
• 18:17
  the— like, I very rarely think a player is setting out to make a dirty
• 18:21
  play. I do think it was an illegal hit. It was. I do think that
• 18:25
  Kyler— so a lot of people are like, you know, he went down too late,
• 18:29
  blah, blah, blah, whatever. When someone is, is going
• 18:33
  down at you to the ground to tackle you, in the head,
• 18:38
  they know you're already down. Yeah. That's why I think it was a— it was
• 18:41
  a— an illegal hit. I thought it was an illegal hit. So I also
• 18:45
  know that Kyler has been like, if he's—
• 18:49
  he— his specific— because of his size and
• 18:53
  because of the way that these guys are taught to not slide in specific situations,
• 18:57
  because then you invite the headshot the other way. Yeah. It's really hard for
• 19:01
  everybody involved. But that sucked. It like really sucked to
• 19:05
  watch. It took the wind right out of my sails because, yeah, you and I
• 19:08
  super excited to watch him play. He had like 3 minutes with him. Now,
• 19:12
  he didn't— like, he clearly needed some time to get into the groove, and like,
• 19:15
  we didn't even get to see it. Uh, Carson Wentz is just apparently
• 19:19
  going to— you know, if you can toss balls
• 19:22
  up to Justin Jefferson, apparently that's all you need to win a game. Yeah.
• 19:26
  And that's what they fucking did. Great job, Wentz. Yeah. Um,
• 19:30
  I can't— like, I can't think of anyone I'm less excited about,
• 19:33
  but I, I had— I, I got my ass kicked in
• 19:38
  fantasy because I started Kyler Murray as my quarterback. I want you to know something.
• 19:41
  I want you to know something really quick. I can answer that question. I do
• 19:44
  know who you could be less excited about. J.J.
• 19:47
  McCarthy. Well, that's the thing is now I have to pick up Carson Wentz
• 19:52
  as my quarterback and I'm like, I'm going to end up with J.J. McCarthy by
• 19:55
  the end of the year. You fucking might. Fuck it. Like, that's my penance
• 19:59
  for all my shit talk. Um, it's just, you know, it's— I
• 20:03
  feel, I feel like there's some sort of, uh, the bigger, the bigger reel,
• 20:07
  the bigger conversation about that game is the fact that Green Bay was
• 20:11
  out of— they're awful. So Jordan Love had
• 20:16
  a like statistically really like interesting game. He threw for a lot of yards.
• 20:19
  He like— there was a lot going on there. Matt LaFleur
• 20:23
  went full Mike McCarthy, left points on the board.
• 20:27
  Is there something wrong with those? They start
• 20:31
  out, you think, oh my God, this head coach gets it. He's an offensive guy.
• 20:34
  He's got— and then they just turn into the game managers
• 20:39
  of the fucking century. I don't understand. You guys are
• 20:42
  always gifted with great quarterbacks, have a fucking loyal-ass fan base,
• 20:47
  a premier brand, and you're doing shit like
• 20:51
  that, bro? Because you're not going to convince me Jordan Love's not a good enough
• 20:53
  quarterback. Like, you're just like, he's a really, really good player. That everything
• 20:57
  looked out of sorts, out of sync. I don't know what Matt LaFleur's
• 21:01
  deal is, but I started to feel a little iffy about him last year.
• 21:04
  And now I'm like, what the fuck, dude? That was an inexplicable decision
• 21:08
  to leave points on the board the way that he did. So I mean this
• 21:11
  from the bottom of my heart. I never thought I'd walk away from a Sunday
• 21:14
  going, looking at a team going like, oh, Green Bay fans, you have
• 21:18
  the wrong LaFleur. Who knew? Yeah, who knew you got just the wrong member
• 21:21
  of the LaFleur family? Because big LaFleur guy over here, because holy
• 21:25
  shit. The Chargers are a joke. As much as
• 21:28
  you've seen the Green Bay being a joke, the Chargers are a joke. I firmly
• 21:32
  believe they're a joke. I really, really don't
• 21:35
  understand why people underestimated the Cardinals so much.
• 21:39
  I do too. I, I know. And I'm not like— I— it's more
• 21:42
  just it feels like people forget about the Cardinals
• 21:47
  and then they're like, oh well, they're, you know, over-under. But I did draft Jeremiah
• 21:49
  Love because I had a good feeling about him, right? But like, they have Like
• 21:53
  Trey McBride is the best tight end in the league right now because Brock Bowers
• 21:55
  is hurt. Like they've got good young wide receivers.
• 21:59
  Kendrick Bourne was a great, like a great pickup for them. I think part of
• 22:03
  it was Jacoby Brissett of it all. But Jacoby Brissett is never bad. He's always
• 22:06
  good. He's always solid. He's always good. Absolutely. And occasionally
• 22:09
  he has games like that where he's like, oh, all right, he's really fucking good
• 22:13
  today. Remember his time with the Colts? I feel like the Colts gave up on
• 22:15
  that way too fucking fast. Really fast. And I And I understand
• 22:19
  why he's been considered a journeyman fill-in starter. Like,
• 22:23
  I do understand that. But like, yeah, I just— and then
• 22:27
  with the new coach coming in and
• 22:30
  an offensive coach at that, like, it just felt weird that everybody was like,
• 22:34
  well, worst team. When you look at their team and the, and the,
• 22:38
  the players on their roster, I was like, I don't know. I don't think they're
• 22:41
  a playoff team, but like, damn. No, they're all right. On the flip side,
• 22:45
  Yeah, the Chargers, they looked like shit, looked like the worst versions
• 22:49
  of them, the worst version of themselves. To roll
• 22:52
  out that level of an offensive performance with a head coach that is
• 22:55
  constantly lauded, a quarterback that is constantly lauded, and an OC that is
• 22:59
  constantly lauded, and to have it look like that was
• 23:02
  just like— I just think these are— I
• 23:06
  think this is a 3-man circle jerk of idiots who didn't fucking
• 23:09
  take this season seriously, dude. I, I don't
• 23:13
  know how many times I need to say it out loud. I've been
• 23:16
  saying it for years and I'm really happy. I'm sorry it's taken everybody
• 23:20
  this long, but I'm really, really happy that people are starting to fucking
• 23:24
  see what I've been saying all along. Yeah, like, this is not like a question
• 23:28
  of the talent and the arm talent of Justin Herbert. Yes, we see
• 23:32
  the flashes of arm talent, but like, the pedestal
• 23:35
  this guy has been put on. Yeah. The amount of money this guy has been
• 23:39
  given, the amount of leeway that he has been allotted
• 23:43
  simply does not exist for anyone else
• 23:46
  in the league. And I'm including the rest of the white guys. Like,
• 23:50
  it is so fucking insane. Did you, did you see when I
• 23:54
  made a video about it the other day? I was like, is it like at
• 23:57
  this point, isn't like Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, aren't they offended
• 24:01
  by being included? They should be. Like, like Joe Burrow has been to a fucking
• 24:04
  Super Bowl. It's bad enough, the racism, right? The racism around
• 24:08
  the conversation. The way people talk about Lamar and Jalen Hurts
• 24:12
  and Caleb Williams and all of those players.
• 24:15
  But then like Trevor Lawrence and Josh Allen and Joe Burrow out there
• 24:19
  doing their jobs and they're all like, I don't know, I'm still
• 24:24
  not willing to put Trevor Lawrence in this conversation. But you don't
• 24:27
  think Trevor Lawrence is better than Justin Herbert? Oh, I apologize because
• 24:31
  he's not. I do think that because he never is. He's never ranked above
• 24:34
  him. He never is. That is true. But no, I'm more thinking of like the
• 24:37
  thing going like, I think Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, whenever they hear their names
• 24:40
  lifted, really, they're like, motherfucker. No, no, no, no, no. Like, like Josh
• 24:44
  Allen MVP. Joe Burrow's like, I played in the fucking Super Bowl. Get the fucking
• 24:48
  pretty boy out of here. Like, enough. I just can't. I feel like
• 24:52
  everybody else should be mad at this point too. Like, I'm annoyed. Are you?
• 24:56
  Like, that's what it is. I think that's what it is. I think you just
• 24:58
  said it. I'm tired of my intelligence constantly being
• 25:02
  insulted. Yeah, it's like I'm, I'm insulted now that
• 25:06
  you have forced upon Justin Herbert
• 25:10
  on me. While we're at it, actually, I think now would be a good time
• 25:13
  for Mocha to pull up our graphic of the— yes,
• 25:17
  we have the week 1 passer ratings,
• 25:20
  the top 5 and bottom 5 passer ratings.
• 25:24
  So our guy Trevor Lawrence had a great day against the Browns. So we're taking
• 25:28
  that with a grain of salt, obviously, but still a great day. Do you do
• 25:30
  your job? You always do your job against the teams you're supposed to. Jackson Dart
• 25:34
  fucking balled out, dude. I'll admit it, I am not a Jackson Dart fan,
• 25:38
  but fuck, he looked good. It looks like his weapons are on one. Yeah,
• 25:41
  so I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm also gonna wait until to see until
• 25:44
  if he can like not take the stupidest hits a lot. Also the Rams in
• 25:49
  week 2, if the Rams can get their fucking shit together. Josh Allen,
• 25:51
  Lamar Jackson, Caleb Williams, no shocks, right?
• 25:55
  Worst passer ratings: Bo Nix, who we'll get to at the end of
• 25:59
  this segment. Malik Willis on the Dolphins, Matthew Stafford,
• 26:01
  Drake Maye, and Cooper Rush, who shouldn't even
• 26:05
  have been there, was like, should not have even been a fucking— I mean,
• 26:08
  unbelievable. So, right, you know, just escaping
• 26:12
  that bottom is Justin Herbert. And then there's all the dudes that he's
• 26:16
  constantly in conversation with, like at the top,
• 26:19
  performing the way that they're supposed to perform against crappy teams. Cardinals,
• 26:23
  not a— not like an absolutely stacked team that you should— you should absolutely be
• 26:27
  beating that team. If you have the great head coach and
• 26:30
  the great quarterback that you claim to have and you just didn't.
• 26:34
  Like, that's why I appreciate what Trevor Lawrence did, because they like poured it on
• 26:38
  a team. By the way, he who shall not be named,
• 26:41
  who quarterbacks the fucking Browns. Who's that
• 26:45
  exactly? Just like an absolutely fucking hilariously,
• 26:50
  truly brutal fucking performance. Exactly what he deserved.
• 26:53
  Everything that he deserved. Actually, can I, can I, can I— public
• 26:56
  service announcement for Cleveland fans? Sure. Dear Cleveland Brown
• 27:00
  fans, NFL jerseys
• 27:04
  are very expensive, and you Browns fans have had to buy lots of them for
• 27:08
  your new quarterbacks year after year after year. But Tanya,
• 27:11
  right now I'm making this suggestion: go and buy a Shedeur
• 27:15
  Sanders jersey. Why? Not because he's going to be your quarterback
• 27:18
  the future? No, not because he's going to be playing quarterback at
• 27:22
  some point this season. I firmly believe he will. Um, it's because it's
• 27:26
  currently— and this is true— $39 retail
• 27:30
  at your team store in Cleveland. I think they ordered too
• 27:34
  many, and since he wasn't named opening day quarterback, they have
• 27:38
  a plethora of them. And the way I see it, you can get some tape
• 27:41
  and change the number because Sanders is a common name.
• 27:44
  So feel free to do that. You could put some black tape over the name
• 27:47
  Sanders when he's eventually keep, you know, having some success in Miami or wherever the
• 27:50
  hell he goes next. And then you put another quarterback there. But I strongly suggest,
• 27:54
  because of the uptick in price in jerseys,
• 27:56
  get your hands on a $39 Shedeur Sanders jersey,
• 28:00
  retail price. You're welcome. I kind of want one. I kind of want one too.
• 28:04
  I just don't want to represent the goddamn Browns at all. That's like the bummer.
• 28:07
  But I know I want— but it's $39 and Daddy
• 28:10
  can't say no to a good deal, dude. I would get so much attention at
• 28:15
  a bar if I walked in with a Shedeur Sanders jersey on. You're right.
• 28:18
  If there's one thing I've noticed, because I've been in a bar with Tanya,
• 28:21
  bitch just don't get enough attention. Just trying to—
• 28:24
  just need to find a way to get the eye. Finally, I gotta get some
• 28:28
  eyeballs on me. I've been to bars with you. You're an asshole.
• 28:32
  Okay, final— oh wait, no, we have one more. One more before we
• 28:35
  get to the Monday Night Football game. Um, the, the Detroit
• 28:39
  Lions survived an insane overtime game against the Saints. They By the
• 28:44
  way, can I ask you a question before you get into this? Yeah, I just—
• 28:48
  it's a one-word answer. Was this a victory or like
• 28:52
  a narrow escape of a collapse? It's definitely the latter.
• 28:56
  And also the funniest part is, so Chris had told me he was doing a
• 29:00
  Survivor pool this year, you know, whatever. He was like, oh, you have to help
• 29:03
  me with this week to week, right? So he was like, you know, you have
• 29:07
  to help me with this week to week. And I was like, all right,
• 29:09
  cool. But he didn't— never, never asked me anything. And I was like, did you
• 29:11
  ever do the pool? And he was like, yeah, I made a last-minute decision.
• 29:12
  Decision on Saturday night to pick the Lions. And I was like,
• 29:16
  bro, way to absolutely skate by by the skin of your teeth.
• 29:20
  And I get why he did, but bigger, bigger conversation
• 29:24
  to be had. The Saints really actually impressed me. I know. Um,
• 29:28
  like defensively, they were get— they were getting shut down by the Lions defense early,
• 29:32
  and then Tyler Shook just fucking— I, I think
• 29:35
  I might be a Tyler Shook fan. Like, I— he endured so
• 29:39
  much in college. He had all these injuries. He came into the league old.
• 29:42
  And he's just fucking balling. He threw for like 500
• 29:46
  yards this week. I don't know, so 400-something yards. He was really working
• 29:50
  his ass off. Chris Olave is an absolute fucking monster. Um,
• 29:54
  that play that was called back,
• 29:57
  did it not, as a Raiders fan, remind you of
• 30:01
  the tuck rule? We don't— why, why are you bringing that up? I mean,
• 30:04
  I understand you're a Patriots fan. You know there's only a
• 30:08
  couple of things you say that. Yeah, harm me. I know, but it was harm
• 30:11
  me and that's it. Chat, did it not evoke the tuck? Okay,
• 30:15
  yes it did, but fuck, man, like, and at
• 30:19
  the very least, the tuck rule was a stupid rule that they applied correctly.
• 30:24
  I still— I was doing research yesterday. I, I was
• 30:28
  gonna make a video about it and I was like, I cannot make heads or
• 30:31
  tails of what they fucking did here. And I don't want to make a video
• 30:34
  that where I come on and I say I can't make heads or tails of
• 30:37
  this. Yeah, like, I don't know what the fuck they were calling,
• 30:42
  dude. I don't even know what they— like, I couldn't— I replayed the clip and
• 30:46
  I was like, what? They said he was making a forward pass and so it
• 30:48
  was an incomplete pass. But I'm like, because his arm was in the motion
• 30:52
  for it. But none of it— I've not seen it called like that. I— it
• 30:55
  was just brutal. And the Saints should have won that game. They should have won
• 30:59
  that game. But hey, I'm just happy that they didn't because I want to be
• 31:03
  a supporter of the Lions. Even though I'm going to say something here that I
• 31:05
  haven't said elsewhere yet. I legitimately think they missed their
• 31:09
  window. Yeah, I can't believe I'm saying that. But like the Lions
• 31:12
  had like a real legit like 3-year window there.
• 31:16
  You know what, though? That's the best thing that could happen for the Lions is
• 31:19
  for everybody to decide that they're past their prime and out of there. Maybe because
• 31:23
  like maybe that's— they are the kind of team that would randomly
• 31:27
  make the Super Bowl. You're not wrong. So you know what? Let's doubt them because
• 31:30
  that would be funny. But I got to say, though, when I'm looking at that
• 31:32
  league, I'm I would really love to look at the Bears. I would love to
• 31:36
  see Jared Goff make a Super Bowl with the Lions so that like the,
• 31:38
  the Stafford-Goff trade turns out to be
• 31:42
  like the greatest trade in the history of the NFL ever.
• 31:45
  Everyone won. Everybody wins. That would be really, really cool.
• 31:48
  Um, but oh, before we get to Monday Night Football, I do have to say
• 31:51
  Baker Mayfield is out of his fucking mind. I don't know what his fucking problem
• 31:54
  is. I, I, I don't know if our guy from Tampa Bay is still in
• 31:57
  the chat, but like Baker Mayfield signs a new contract that
• 32:01
  he's been begging for all offseason. Holy shit, it's been an absolute fucking nightmare.
• 32:05
  By the way, great job, you got it. I do love Baker Mayfield
• 32:08
  at— in a— in the most sort of sarcastic way
• 32:12
  possible. Like, I like that he's a little shithead. Like,
• 32:15
  he's like just like such a little fuck. Yeah, he is, but he's funny.
• 32:19
  And like, the way he plays is, is so bizarre. He's very
• 32:23
  reckless. Everybody talks about how people are like reckless
• 32:27
  with the ball or whatever else. No one is more reckless running the football
• 32:31
  than fucking Baker Mayfield. He holds the ball like an idiot.
• 32:35
  He had no touchdown passes, 2 lost fumbles, 1 fumble return
• 32:39
  for a touchdown. They turned the ball over 4 times in the game and
• 32:43
  honestly, they almost still beat the Bengals. So rough
• 32:48
  luck for the Bengals, quite honestly. I would agree with that. The Bucs were trying
• 32:50
  really hard to give that game away and the Bengals almost let the Bucs
• 32:53
  win. Um, obviously like one game's not gonna make
• 32:57
  the contract back. Baker's gonna have some random game where he has like a 2-minute
• 33:00
  drill that looks insane, that makes him look like Tom Brady, and then he's like—
• 33:03
  it's just the Baker Mayfield experience. Personally, if he was my quarterback,
• 33:06
  it would drive me nuts. But as a fan just watching it, I think
• 33:10
  he's so fucking funny. I want you to know our Tampa fan just said,
• 33:13
  and I quote,
• 33:14
  fuck.
• 33:18
  Okay, I think he's so fucking funny, man.
• 33:20
  I'm a big fan. I actually really do like Baker. The nth degree of
• 33:25
  pissability. Oh no, he's— what was that? There was an SNL
• 33:28
  sketch a few years back that was just— it was nothing yet hilarious.
• 33:32
  Yeah. And it was where Bill Hader came in this gigantic box, and it was
• 33:36
  like his name was Glenn, and he came into the box and he's a toy
• 33:39
  named Glenn. And all he does, he's just a guy that just sits there,
• 33:41
  goes like this. Yeah. He's like— and the woman gets it.
• 33:44
  She's like, oh my God, that is so Glenn. The husband's like, Yeah, but what
• 33:48
  does the Glenn do? Yeah, he just does this. He's just like, oh, this one
• 33:51
  is, uh, this button says Party Glenn. He just— his dancing kind of gets
• 33:54
  a little bit more, and it's just— it's the most ridiculous thing in the world.
• 33:58
  That's how I see Baker at this point. He's Glenn. He's just Glenn. He's just—
• 34:02
  he's Party Glenn. He's Party Baker. I mean, honestly, just this endless
• 34:07
  version of just living life. I don't know
• 34:10
  what he's actually doing or accomplishing though. Oh, Mayfield has been consistently terrifying
• 34:14
  to watch since he was at OU because you never know what the hell is
• 34:16
  gonna happen. That's 100%. That is so true because there are days he's fucking the
• 34:20
  greatest quarterback. Looks like the greatest quarterback you've ever seen. Then there's days like the
• 34:24
  other day, and then there's days in between where he looks awful until he looks
• 34:28
  great. And then there's days where he looks great until he looks awful. And it's
• 34:31
  just a real roller coaster. Now, personally, see, Chance knows what I'm talking about.
• 34:35
  Chance knows. Of course Chance knows. I don't know if Glenn's
• 34:39
  the right word, but you know what I'm talking about. It's so Glenn. This is
• 34:41
  fucking amazing. But like, the funny part is
• 34:45
  that even with having said all that, he would still be so
• 34:49
  much better for the Browns than anyone they've rolled out since, which is really just
• 34:54
  fucking hilarious. No question about it. He really would be the greatest Browns quarterback of
• 34:57
  all time. And I don't think there would be a close second at this point.
• 34:59
  But do you want to talk about people
• 35:04
  doubting the Chiefs? As somebody who's a fan of someone in the—
• 35:08
  you know what, I actually really do. And here was the thing. I watched
• 35:11
  that game last night. With— and I'm talking about Monday Night Football, Chiefs versus Broncos.
• 35:15
  And by the way, just full transparency, Broncos definitely my defense and
• 35:19
  my fantasy team. Thanks for that. Yeah, me too. Fuck, why did we do that?
• 35:23
  Fuck, were we thinking? Anyways, um, I watched
• 35:27
  this game with some morbid curiosity, um, because there was like a part of me
• 35:30
  that like felt like a horror movie. Yeah, like, you know,
• 35:34
  in a horror movie when like it's a sequel. I— we're Sidney Prescott
• 35:37
  in Scream 19. Yeah, we've already been through the
• 35:41
  shit 18 other times. Yeah. So at this point we're like, we're so bitter
• 35:45
  and annoyed and there's no way Ghostface is gonna fucking
• 35:49
  show up for the 19th time. Anyways, I watched
• 35:53
  Monday Night Football and Ghostface showed up for the 19th fucking time.
• 35:56
  Fuck, they're not gone, they're back. And I'm gonna
• 36:00
  give you an example that I think will hit very close to home. Okay.
• 36:03
  It's, it's the year after Matt Cassel Patriots.
• 36:06
  Yeah, that's what, that's what's happening Right now?
• 36:10
  Well, I think that like, because I lived through the Patriots
• 36:14
  constantly getting, getting that thing where it's like, are they done? Is it over?
• 36:18
  Is it over? Is it over? For like, I mean, it was,
• 36:22
  it was that like whole decade where people were like, they kept making Super Bowls
• 36:25
  and then, but then people were like, I don't know. And then it was every
• 36:28
  year was like, they can't do this again. Right. The Super Bowl. They can't do
• 36:31
  this again. Back in the Super Bowl. They can't do it again. Back in the
• 36:34
  Super Bowl. And so I have never— and
• 36:38
  I like, you will not find A— the amount I talk
• 36:42
  on the internet is truly insane. You would think that there would be a way
• 36:44
  to fucking catch me on this. You will not. I have not doubted the fucking
• 36:47
  Chiefs for years. I know, for years.
• 36:51
  And I didn't— this— and if anything, you and I were both sounding the alarm
• 36:54
  of like, doubt Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs at your own risk. You still
• 36:59
  have Andy Reid, you still have Steve Spagnuolo, you see, still have Patrick
• 37:03
  Mahomes. Now granted, I wasn't necessarily touting Travis Kelce,
• 37:06
  And we'll see how he holds up across the course of— but in game 1,
• 37:10
  absolutely, he looked like vintage fucking Travis Kelce. And then
• 37:14
  they did the same thing that the Patriots used to always do, which is like
• 37:17
  you just get the new offseason piece that's now the big piece. So they
• 37:21
  get Kenneth Walker. Uh, holy— will you please throw this up
• 37:25
  for me, Mocha? This Kenneth Walker III. For the gods, Kenneth Walker? You mean
• 37:29
  the player that was covered in fucking Vaseline because no one could tackle He,
• 37:33
  he did Bo Jackson. It was fucking nuts. Look at this.
• 37:37
  150+ rushing yards, 60+ rushing touchdowns,
• 37:40
  receiving touchdown, more total net yards than the opposing team,
• 37:44
  more points than the opposing team. The last NFL player to do it was Bo
• 37:47
  Jackson. That is who they rolled out to play with Patrick Mahomes. They said Pat's
• 37:51
  going to need a couple of weeks to get back into the swing of things,
• 37:54
  maybe even like 7, 8 weeks, you know, until he looks full Pat. It was—
• 37:57
  and they said— and no, but like they were like, so in the meantime,
• 38:01
  we'll give you Bo Jackson. But here's the thing, to help out— this
• 38:06
  is fucking team building, bro. This is like— the way that they do this stuff
• 38:10
  is so reminiscent. I watched it for 20 years. They just
• 38:13
  find these little places to supplement whatever losses
• 38:17
  they've had before, to like tweak the little things that they need to do differently,
• 38:20
  and then they keep the core in place, and it's just infuriating.
• 38:23
  Curious, speaking of the core, I mean, a little bit of blast from the past—
• 38:26
  Eric Bieniemy back there calling the plays. Back there. And I gotta say this,
• 38:30
  there was something about it— they mentioned it right in the first, like, uh,
• 38:32
  set of drives when Kenneth Walker was just fucking marching the whole fucking team down
• 38:36
  the field. They were constantly saying over and over, no, this is a fucking statement.
• 38:40
  They're, they're doing this on purpose and they're going to keep doing it until
• 38:44
  it doesn't work. But then Patrick Mahomes— now this play was
• 38:47
  called back due to a holding, I believe. Patrick Mahomes— I remember
• 38:51
  which one. Yeah, did a goddamn Patrick Mahomes, just fucking new
• 38:55
  path, ran 110 yards to
• 38:59
  run 18 and then dove into 3 fucking defenders
• 39:03
  that all hit him. I know. And he got through the goal line. Now this
• 39:07
  was called back, but when I saw that and I saw him get up and
• 39:10
  like nothing just happened, I went like,
• 39:13
  fuck. Yeah, this is— the fucking Chiefs are winning the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes
• 39:18
  does not get— and I don't know why— I do know why, uh, he does
• 39:21
  not get enough credit for how tough of a player he is. Um,
• 39:25
  like they always give him like, oh, he's tough, he grinds it out. They talk
• 39:28
  about Josh Allen all the time, who Josh Allen is also a really really tough
• 39:31
  player. Like, he's also huge. He's also 6'5. He's the size of a fucking tight
• 39:35
  end. Like, Patrick Mahomes is like— they say he's 6'3.
• 39:39
  I think he's 6'2. I think 6'2. You know what I mean? Like, he's not
• 39:43
  that— he's not that big of a dude. He's bigger than you or I,
• 39:45
  but like, I mean, fucking Christ. And he just is— he just
• 39:49
  plays with such like just backyard instinct.
• 39:52
  Agreed. And back when everybody was smoking his cigar
• 39:57
  they were constantly talking about that. But now they've moved on to
• 40:01
  brighter pastures. Now he's washed up and old. Yeah. And then
• 40:05
  he— sometimes you gotta let a bitch remind a bitch. Exactly.
• 40:08
  And it's just what he did. He's still that dude. And if, and if he
• 40:11
  is anything like Tom Brady or,
• 40:15
  uh, Aaron Rodgers, who as they got older they actually
• 40:19
  started getting better at, at, at the quarterback position,
• 40:22
  they became better passers, they became Like, Aaron Rodgers won a couple MVPs.
• 40:27
  You know, like Lamar right now is one of the best pocket passers in the
• 40:31
  game. Like, like, that was not Lamar's game for his first 4 years. That's not
• 40:34
  what won him. Well, he was there, but like, that's not what won him his
• 40:37
  first MVP. Let me put it that way. No, no. I mean, he was
• 40:41
  already a great passer, but he wasn't what he is now. Like,
• 40:45
  he's unreal now. And whereas Mahomes started out as such a
• 40:49
  dynamic passer, but like To me, why wouldn't
• 40:53
  I expect Mahomes to find ways to get better at the things he's good at?
• 40:56
  You know, the— I
• 40:59
  want— before we head out, we got to just at least shit on the Broncos
• 41:02
  a little bit. Fuck you, Broncos. You're Raiders fans. God, I hate— I hate
• 41:06
  the Broncos. And I'm furious at myself for believing in your fucking defense.
• 41:10
  Fuck you. Throw this guy up for us. The Broncos. Fuck, I hate Sean Payton.
• 41:14
  The final graphic we have for this segment. It's, uh,
• 41:17
  the Broncos went 14-3 last season.
• 41:22
  Um, this was fascinating to me because it felt bizarre,
• 41:26
  but like, this is crazy. They're the first team to lose their season opener by
• 41:30
  20-plus points after having 14 or more wins in the previous season.
• 41:33
  In the history of the NFL, we've not seen a team with
• 41:36
  14 wins the previous season get fucking walloped like that. Yeah.
• 41:39
  Now, is that the Chiefs effect, Cody, or is that the
• 41:43
  Broncos having an issue? If you had to pick one,
• 41:47
  do you think that's the Chiefs, or the Chiefs and, and you got chiefed,
• 41:51
  or are the Broncos in trouble? Okay, let's start with the first one. I'm gonna
• 41:54
  say the Broncos are in trouble, not the Chiefs did the Chiefs thing, because I
• 41:57
  saw that first interception that was caught by Mansour, the 6th overall pick,
• 42:00
  and what the fuck was Bo Nix thinking? Um,
• 42:04
  and I actually said that out loud 5 more times throughout the game.
• 42:07
  Yeah. Is Bo Nix good?
• 42:10
  Like, did I not watch enough Broncos last year? I was
• 42:14
  like, I was almost lost with what I was watching with Bo Nix. Oh,
• 42:18
  I— that's exactly what happened was you just didn't watch enough, clearly. But what you
• 42:23
  did do was consume a lot of the, the conversation around him, which is inescapable.
• 42:27
  Bo Nix is not good, dude. I watched it.
• 42:31
  So the Broncos won like every game last year, like by,
• 42:35
  like by the skin of their teeth, like 3 points, right? Like Bo
• 42:39
  Nix would make a play at the end of the game or just in time
• 42:42
  to like whatever. But no, he's— he is— he
• 42:46
  is what we thought Brock Purdy was going to be. He is like what— you
• 42:49
  know how Brock Purdy is good? Where Brock Purdy is actually tough and fucking goes
• 42:52
  out and beats your ass. Remember when we thought Brock Purdy was just going to
• 42:55
  be like regular and just kind of like, uh, but he's actually
• 42:59
  better than that? Yeah, he is. Uh, Bo Nix is exactly
• 43:03
  the just sort of like, oh, you're just a guy. You're, you're never going
• 43:07
  to be like the, the reason that a team
• 43:11
  wins a game. You might not always be the, the reason they lose it,
• 43:14
  but you're like, it's going to come down to the final fucking minutes or you're
• 43:18
  getting your ass kicked. I'm going to say what I think it is. And I'm
• 43:21
  not saying this only because he looks identical to him. He just looks like Zach
• 43:23
  Wilson again. Yeah, he's— I mean,
• 43:26
  he obviously has been on a better team than Zach Wilson. I agree
• 43:31
  with that. There's like— it's like, right, like He looks like Zach Wilson. He just
• 43:34
  looks like a run-of-the-mill white guy with some, some skills that
• 43:38
  if you put him in the right system, you're gonna sneak out some wins.
• 43:41
  But at the end of the day, yeah, I don't see an ounce of toughness
• 43:44
  that I see in a guy like Brock. You know why I like Brock Purdy?
• 43:47
  Like, legitimately, this is like real talk. Like, Brock Purdy, I see like,
• 43:51
  that's a shit who's been shit on from day one. No, he's got the Tom
• 43:54
  Brady— like, he's that Tom Brady chip, but, but he doesn't treat it like a
• 43:58
  chip. He just like goes out there Fucks you up. Like, you know who else
• 44:01
  had this at one point for a very short— uh, Tyler Heinicke had this a
• 44:05
  short time when he was over there with the Commanders. And Tyler Heinicke like strung
• 44:08
  together like 5 fucking wins in 6 weeks. Yeah, like, and then he
• 44:11
  was buying like fucking Air Force Ones on the colors of every team he beat.
• 44:15
  And I'm like, fuck yeah, this is my guy. Weird white guy shit.
• 44:18
  Yeah, that's some weird white guy shit, but I could get on board with some
• 44:21
  weird white guy shit. Um, Purdy to me is like one of those dudes who
• 44:24
  like he he would be a good quarterback on most teams.
• 44:28
  He wouldn't be Purdy. Um, like what he is is he's the
• 44:32
  perfect quarterback for the, for the Shanahan system, but he'd be good elsewhere. He'd be,
• 44:36
  he'd be good. He would say if he was on the Falcons right now,
• 44:38
  would you take him or Cooper Kupp? Absolutely. No, it's not even a question.
• 44:41
  No question. And that's the thing is like, but would he lead them to an
• 44:45
  NFC Championship game? Probably not. No, he wouldn't. I mean, that's not— he's not the
• 44:48
  difference between— but he can take an NFC Championship team and either make them
• 44:52
  absolutely an NFC Championship team or maybe better. Absolutely. I agree
• 44:56
  with that. He's better than Jimmy Garoppolo. He's like, you know what I mean?
• 44:58
  So like, yes, he is at— because he, because he's the quarterback,
• 45:03
  he does everything that needs to be done for that offense. I like Isaiah's
• 45:07
  comment right here. Throw it up real quick. Uh, Bo was
• 45:10
  like Tim Tebow on steroids. He looks so ass,
• 45:14
  and then he just transformed into Steve Young. That being said, if you've seen Tim
• 45:17
  Tebow lately, uh, I'm not saying he's on steroids, but he's,
• 45:21
  he's definitely taking something, some injectables. Yeah, well,
• 45:26
  I mean, listen, by the way, no judgment. I take peptides
• 45:29
  these days, so— and I take anti— I
• 45:33
  take probiotics. Yeah, I inject peptides. No,
• 45:36
  I'm telling you straight up, I do it. I don't give a fuck. I,
• 45:39
  I have— I, I, like Alan Ritchson,
• 45:43
  have no, no shame in telling you what is going into said body.
• 45:46
  I'm not taking steroids, but I am taking peptides. And I'm not gonna lie to
• 45:50
  you, I don't think they're doing— did you hear Alan Ritchson is hitting the streets?
• 45:53
  It's gonna be a problem. It's gonna be a problem. I've,
• 45:56
  I've heard he could be for any of us. I've heard
• 46:01
  he is. Alan? I don't know. That's just— I'm substantiating. Listen, I'm a straight
• 46:05
  man, but, but Daddy might make some exceptions. He's barely straight. He's,
• 46:09
  he's, he's begrudgingly straight. Listen, no, it's not that I'm actually begrudgingly straight
• 46:14
  is actually quite accurate. Yeah, no, I would give anything to be gay. I just,
• 46:17
  I just, there's just nothing about it. Yeah, you are
• 46:20
  fully straight but begrudgingly so. Yeah, like I wish I was gay. You have any
• 46:24
  idea what this would fucking do in West Hollywood? Oh my God,
• 46:28
  I think we're about to find out with Alan Ritchson. I mean,
• 46:32
  listen, I don't know if the world's ready for those 2 daddies
• 46:36
  to be one thing. No, definitely not. The only man in the world I might
• 46:39
  go gay for for? Definitely. Listen, only one? No, do you—
• 46:43
  there's more. Hold on, what about Colton? Coleman Domingo?
• 46:47
  Nah, he's not my style. He's my— he's my style. Really? For a gay man?
• 46:50
  Yeah. Can I tell you who I would though? He's not gay though.
• 46:53
  He's not gay though, but like Michael B. Jordan.
• 46:57
  I like how you're like, he's not gay but I want him to be gay,
• 47:00
  and I want— but if I were gay, if we were both gay, but I—
• 47:02
  but if Michael B. Jordan came up to me and Hot take.
• 47:06
  No, it's not a hot take at all. I'm fucking fully aware that this is
• 47:10
  not crazy. That's maybe like me being like, you know who I think I would
• 47:14
  go get more? Yeah, Halle Berry. Yeah, no shit. I'm just saying,
• 47:16
  like, if I was in a club and Michael B. Jordan came up and whispered
• 47:20
  behind my ear and said something, I'll be like, you know what, give a fuck
• 47:23
  what he said, I'm going with him. Give it a shot. You sometimes you're like,
• 47:27
  this is my time to experiment. It's— it must— and you never know when it's
• 47:30
  going to come in. It might You never know what's gonna
• 47:34
  come. That was your words, not mine. Okay,
• 47:37
  anyways, gambling's been a problem for a long time,
• 47:40
  Tanya. Headline number 2. Holy shit, headline number 2.
• 47:43
  Good for us. Um, I gotta say, um,
• 47:46
  so what are your thoughts on this? Let me tell the people what happened.
• 47:49
  The pro sports leagues, uh, the men's pro sports
• 47:53
  leagues, uh, and joined their unions. So we're talking
• 47:57
  NFL, MLS, MLB, NHL,
• 48:01
  all the men's joined with their unions and asking for
• 48:06
  sports betting regulators to
• 48:09
  ban anybody who goes to credibly
• 48:13
  harass athletes over bets. Now,
• 48:17
  all of these leagues and several of their players are in
• 48:21
  bed with said sportsbooks. They have endorsements. They have
• 48:25
  full-on, uh, league relationships. The official sportsbooks
• 48:30
  of these fucking leagues all exist. Yeah.
• 48:33
  And on top of that, the women's leagues
• 48:38
  found out about this letter after the fact.
• 48:41
  Yeah. They were not invited to be a part of it despite the fact that
• 48:44
  the WNBA and the NWO, like all of these leagues
• 48:48
  also deal with that same stuff. So to
• 48:52
  me, this very much feels like both
• 48:56
  the leagues— like the leagues definitely wanted to
• 49:00
  have their cake and eat it too, and the PAs of those
• 49:04
  specific leagues being fed up with the superstars who
• 49:08
  are promoting it and making a ton of money off it while they get the
• 49:12
  shit in their DMs that you and I always talk about. Yeah,
• 49:15
  right. Yeah. I have a problem with this, um,
• 49:19
  because it doesn't feel genuine. And like,
• 49:22
  like, this is something that's a little near and dear to my heart. Uh,
• 49:25
  you know how I feel about this whole thing. I've said it multiple times.
• 49:28
  Even, even other listeners that know nothing about me that are your
• 49:32
  people, like, have come to you saying like they're glad I've said— someone
• 49:36
  is going to get fucking killed. Yeah, that's my
• 49:40
  problem. And this is like not— I'm— I, I This
• 49:44
  is where it always— like, this is where it lost me with the whole trans
• 49:47
  shit and everything else. So like, this is, this is where I lost relationships in
• 49:50
  the last, uh, in the last Summer Olympics. Um,
• 49:54
  I, I literally have relationships I don't have anymore over the whole boxing trans
• 49:57
  nonsense that was fucking manufactured. Because by the way,
• 50:01
  in case you don't remember the last boxing, uh, female boxing situation that
• 50:05
  happened in the last Olympics, a female boxer fucked up another boxer, and that
• 50:08
  boxer that got their ass kicked Tried to claim that person was trans. By the
• 50:12
  way, she was Albanian. And like, I was sincerely worried
• 50:16
  she was going to get killed when she went home. Yeah. Like, I was horrified
• 50:19
  by this whole thing. And I had a lot of conversations with people about
• 50:23
  the whole conversation going like, no, no, your dipshit rhetoric,
• 50:27
  because you are so fucking stupid,
• 50:30
  is going to get somebody killed. And that's where like,
• 50:34
  like I already have a line and that's where I am with this whole gambling
• 50:37
  thing. I have no problem with you fuckers gambling. I have no problem with you
• 50:40
  guys making prop bets. I have a problem with you guys not being able to
• 50:42
  handle the prop bets. I have a problem with, with you promoting,
• 50:46
  like joining up with sportsbooks or becoming partners with sports— with players
• 50:50
  and leagues. Oh, I've always been a problem with that. And that's why they're talking
• 50:53
  out both sides of their mouth. That's it. And that's part of the issue that—
• 50:56
  and the thing that sucks too is like a lot of— so the, the PAs
• 50:59
  of these leagues, same shit, are— but the PAs are representing
• 51:03
  a bunch of players who actually are getting a ton of harassment. Yes. Who do
• 51:06
  not have deals with these sports. Yes. But LeBron does,
• 51:10
  right? But like whoever— I don't know who— oh, sweet holy
• 51:14
  market commercial, you know what I mean? Like, so the superstars have
• 51:18
  the big money and they're the ones that are left to pick up
• 51:22
  the fucking bullshit when they're getting harassed and, you know, whatever else. It's all a
• 51:27
  mess. Yep. Um, not including at
• 51:30
  the very least the WNBA and the NWSL—
• 51:34
  weird choice. Um, all of it just is— it does
• 51:38
  seem performative. It seems like something that the leagues are doing to stay
• 51:42
  right with the PAs. That's what it is. And that's it. More— it's performative.
• 51:45
  And that's what I hate probably the most thing about it. And that's what,
• 51:48
  like, that my, my irk of this is— it's not
• 51:51
  like— this is not somebody's feelings. Yeah, it's not somebody's thoughts.
• 51:55
  Someone will be— no, it's just gonna happen. And we know what happens with gambling.
• 51:59
  It eventually gets out control. And if someone doesn't get killed,
• 52:03
  best case scenario, someone doesn't get killed and we just have
• 52:07
  a World Series or an NBA Finals or a Super Bowl that
• 52:11
  is fucking null and void. Yeah, that another thing. Yeah, by the way,
• 52:15
  guys, I, you know, it's going to happen. I'm just waiting for
• 52:19
  it to happen because here's the thing, similar things are already— look no further than
• 52:23
  everything we've already covered with the gigantic scandal
• 52:26
  that is taking place over there with the Clippers. You think they're the only team?
• 52:30
  You really think they're the only team? I'll look further back at that pod,
• 52:33
  that Astro scandal. Oh my God, they're stealing signs by
• 52:36
  using digital technology. You thought they were the only team? You really thought
• 52:40
  that? That was always like the thing. And it always bugs me whenever
• 52:44
  teams are like, whenever a team is caught cheating, the rest
• 52:48
  of the teams being like, I cannot believe this.
• 52:52
  They were doing what? We have integrity.
• 52:56
  Like, And you know what's so funny? It's always teams that are winning titles that
• 53:00
  somehow get caught, right? Yeah. Like, oh, so that's funny.
• 53:04
  Like, so the Astros coming
• 53:07
  out of nowhere as a small market team starting to beat your ass, and now
• 53:11
  you're suddenly— they're the first people to bang a trash can. You idiots.
• 53:15
  We know you've been fucking sign stealing the entire time. Forever.
• 53:18
  You all have been doing it. And then they do this faux outrage. They're like,
• 53:22
  Bill Belichick was the first person to ever try to watch a goddamn practice.
• 53:25
  I can't believe Bill invented cheating. Like, okay guys,
• 53:29
  he invented cameras. Like, can you believe that shit?
• 53:32
  By the way, Bill Belichick Spygate or Bountygate,
• 53:36
  what was worse? I mean, you have to tell me. I'm— I think it's
• 53:40
  fucking Bountygate. I don't think this is even a question. I think one was literal,
• 53:44
  literal contract killing. The other was trying to fucking
• 53:48
  get another team's players. You want to know why I think Bountygate was worse?
• 53:52
  Because they didn't fucking win anything. Like, yeah, you did all
• 53:56
  that and didn't even fucking win. Fucking— you didn't even build a dynasty with your—
• 53:59
  my favorite part about the, about the Patriots scandals, and this sort of applies to
• 54:02
  Astros as well, but my favorite part about the, uh, Patriots scandals was that like
• 54:05
  no matter what they did, they kept fucking winning. No, they like— oh, they won
• 54:09
  after the fact too. Yeah, fucking catch them, sanction them, strip the— Astros won a
• 54:13
  World Series 3 years after the fact, winning anyway because your shit was bullshit,
• 54:17
  right? Um, you suspended Tom Brady for 4 weeks
• 54:21
  and then he came back and toasted the whole league and then had the greatest
• 54:24
  comeback in the history of the Super Bowl. I push back because Chance says the
• 54:27
  old phrase, phrase, you're, uh, that goes, if you're not cheating, you're not trying,
• 54:31
  or you're, you know, cheating. You're cheating. Yeah. Or you're just cheating. No,
• 54:35
  but what— but to Chance's point, everybody is kind of doing
• 54:39
  a little bit of that. Like, they are. Yes, some people are doing it more
• 54:41
  than others. Yes. Does it, does it mean we should ignore it? No. But like,
• 54:45
  I always think the outrage from everybody else is really funny. Like, that's all it
• 54:49
  is. It's like, I don't think that you should just ignore it. But I do
• 54:51
  think it's really funny when Dodgers fans are always like, and, and then
• 54:54
  they were banging the trash cans. And I was like, all right,
• 54:57
  everybody relax, okay? Just relax. So here's the thing, uh, I would
• 55:01
  like to preface headline— how about Harbaugh's sign-stealing controversy?
• 55:04
  There's like, there's sign-stealing controversies also. Like, well, Michigan in
• 55:09
  general is a disaster. Like, there's— it's just all over the place.
• 55:12
  I would like to preface headline number 3 with the following: Those
• 55:16
  of you that don't know, because I'm only saying this because those of you that
• 55:19
  don't know who have not been watching the regulars from the get-go, brand new subscribers,
• 55:24
  welcome to the show. Hi. I want to preface everything
• 55:28
  in this is really like weirdly personal
• 55:31
  to me. I am Jewish and I represented
• 55:35
  Israel in the World Baseball Classic in 2013 and 2017.
• 55:41
  Times change and things change very, very rapidly.
• 55:44
  I have a very specific opinion on this next headline,
• 55:48
  and I want to make it abundantly clear. Those of you
• 55:52
  that are walking into this show that are watching the first time that equate
• 55:55
  the belief in a government to
• 55:59
  Judaism, you're not going to like what this is going to
• 56:03
  come out of my mouth. Again, I wore Israel across my
• 56:07
  chest and at the time quite proudly.
• 56:11
  I want to make this abundantly clear. That was more about my Jewish
• 56:14
  pride. That has nothing to do with a government's
• 56:18
  decisions on how they conduct their business. And I can't stress this
• 56:22
  enough. I don't like billionaires. Tanya, headline 3.
• 56:26
  So Macklemore was
• 56:30
  under fire for being pro-Palestine,
• 56:33
  having a pro-Palestine message in his opening act
• 56:37
  for Ed Sheeran on tour with him. That culminated with a
• 56:41
  call Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, made to Ed Sheeran
• 56:45
  to tell him that he would either have
• 56:49
  to remove Macklemore from his tour or they would
• 56:53
  not be welcome in Gillette Stadium. Not only not be welcome in Gillette Stadium,
• 56:57
  but that he would rally other owners and did rally
• 57:01
  other owners around the NFL to
• 57:04
  prevent Ed Sheeran from being able to appear on his tour dates in their
• 57:09
  NFL stadiums as well. Ed Sheeran
• 57:13
  capitulated to Robert Kraft and removed Macklemore
• 57:18
  from the tour. He said that he spoke with Ed Sheeran specifically.
• 57:22
  Yeah, Ed came out today and said, actually, it was my promoter
• 57:25
  who removed him, not me. Don't love that because I
• 57:30
  don't know why Macklemore would lie about that at this point. Um, Macklemore was
• 57:33
  very gracious to Ed in his— he really was in You really
• 57:37
  got to give him credit for it. Really, really graciously said, like, I, you know,
• 57:39
  I am— to be clear, I am not a victim of this.
• 57:43
  I got removed from a tour. There's people losing their lives. All I want,
• 57:46
  and all I want out of this is for people to understand that, like,
• 57:50
  this is just like, this is what happened, and I am not
• 57:53
  a victim. They are the people who are like brave, strong heroes.
• 57:57
  I'm just fucking trying to draw awareness to it. Um,
• 58:02
  In the hours since all of that happened, the last
• 58:06
  30 hours or so, yes, Macklemore has come
• 58:11
  out, you know, kind of the ringleader in some
• 58:15
  ways for Ed Sheeran's tour falling
• 58:19
  apart. Actually, you know what, Robert Kraft is the reason that Ed Sheeran's tour is
• 58:23
  falling apart, because Ed Sheeran capitulated to Robert Kraft and all these owners,
• 58:26
  and now Several of his— every one of his
• 58:30
  opening acts and parts of his band have quit the tour.
• 58:34
  Yep. Finneas, Billie Eilish's brother,
• 58:37
  out. Yep. Um, and another Irish, um,
• 58:41
  I can't remember what his name, but he— Aaron Rowe. Rowe is definitely
• 58:45
  the last name. Okay. So he Irish, he said, you know,
• 58:48
  beautiful written, eloquent, gorgeous speech, uh, a post about being
• 58:52
  Irish and understanding the plight of the Palestinian people and that he
• 58:56
  cannot stand by. In this particular situation.
• 58:59
  Um, like, really, I think he gained a lot of
• 59:03
  respect from people. Uh, Lucas Graham dropped out. Um,
• 59:06
  so like, they are in crisis mode. Like, his entire
• 59:10
  tour is in jeopardy now. And, uh, that is all because
• 59:15
  he received a call from a billionaire who told him, hey,
• 59:19
  pull Macklemore or you're not coming here. Yeah. And I'll make sure you can't go.
• 59:22
  And this guy who's worth almost half a billion dollars said, oh no, I guess
• 59:26
  I have to do what Robert Kraft wants me to do. So here we are
• 59:30
  now where this intersects in our
• 59:33
  realm. Yes. In sports headlines.
• 59:37
  We talk about pop culture, but this is in sports headlines very specifically because
• 59:41
  Robert Kraft, for those who don't know,
• 59:44
  is— there are 2 sort of heads of state
• 59:48
  among NFL owners. And they are involved in
• 59:52
  anything that the NFL owners do, whether it is within the
• 59:56
  NFL or not. And this obviously he drew on his relationship as
• 59:59
  an— as a heavy hitter NFL owner to, to create
• 1:00:03
  this situation. They're involved in everything NFL owners do.
• 1:00:08
  It is Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones. For obvious reasons,
• 1:00:12
  they are not the richest owners, but they are the owners of
• 1:00:15
  2 of the richest franchises, and they are also 2 of the biggest
• 1:00:19
  brands. Yes. Nothing happens among
• 1:00:23
  NFL owners without Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft.
• 1:00:26
  Yeah. So they are at the center of fucking everything. Yeah. Sure you've noticed.
• 1:00:29
  I have. Now Robert Kraft
• 1:00:33
  has hearkened to hate speech. He's talked about the fact that he will not—
• 1:00:37
  he will not allow hate speech, something that
• 1:00:40
  Macklemore has not engaged in whatsoever. Not once. It should be
• 1:00:44
  noted that Macklemore said very specifically, very specifically,
• 1:00:49
  he said, to all of my Jewish brothers and sisters,
• 1:00:53
  criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, of apartheid,
• 1:00:57
  being against genocide, it is in no way criticism of you.
• 1:01:01
  The message is for peace, love, for all human beings to be
• 1:01:05
  treated with dignity, respect, and equality. That is what he said to
• 1:01:08
  his, uh, to the crowd in New Jersey earlier this month.
• 1:01:12
  Yeah. Um, he is not spreading antisemitism. He did
• 1:01:16
  have a— 12 years ago, had a moment where he,
• 1:01:20
  uh, did something antisemitic. He did a caricature of,
• 1:01:24
  um, a Jewish guy. It was, it was sort of this like— I very much
• 1:01:28
  remember the intent. But he has profusely
• 1:01:33
  apologized since then, has like regularly been like, yes,
• 1:01:36
  he has fucked up. That was not cool. Um, so not
• 1:01:40
  on me to forgive him, just putting that into the
• 1:01:44
  conversation. Um, and the bigger thing is that his whole thing
• 1:01:47
  is centered around stopping an apartheid state and a genocide.
• 1:01:52
  Yes. I want to give you your time to
• 1:01:56
  say what you need to say. What time do I need? I'm good. I also
• 1:01:59
  do want to make it clear that Robert Kraft
• 1:02:04
  was at the center— was at— is so
• 1:02:08
  much at the center of collusion in every single collusion case. Thank you.
• 1:02:12
  That he— that's actually what I wanted to bring up first— was subpoenaed.
• 1:02:16
  He was one of 3, I think 3 or 4 owners subpoenaed
• 1:02:19
  in the Colin Kaepernick collusion case in 2017.
• 1:02:24
  And the reason that that's the case is because collusion can't happen without
• 1:02:28
  Robert Kraft. True. It cannot
• 1:02:32
  happen in the NFL. Collusion cannot happen without Robert Kraft and
• 1:02:36
  Jerry Jones. There are owners of varying
• 1:02:40
  importance outside of that— the Rooneys, the Maras, the,
• 1:02:44
  um, you know, the Hunts now have become incredibly powerful— but those
• 1:02:48
  2, collusion cannot happen without them. And he just
• 1:02:53
  performed— gave away the collusion Now, is it
• 1:02:56
  actually collusion? No, because these are private businesses and a specific difference.
• 1:03:00
  But, but we all can fucking put— fucking
• 1:03:04
  kidding me. Are you— he's admitting that he
• 1:03:08
  did it. Like, this is like, this is insane. No, he said, I called these.
• 1:03:11
  I know he called them. It's very easy for him to call them. It's very
• 1:03:15
  easy for him to rally these billionaire troops. By the way, these other troops,
• 1:03:19
  Jerry Jones, I don't think Jerry Jones gives a shit about Jews. By the way,
• 1:03:22
  I don't think he gives a shit about Jews one way or the other.
• 1:03:25
  I don't think he loves or hates him. I don't think Jerry Jones understands what
• 1:03:28
  a Jew is. I don't think he's ever met a Jew. I don't think he
• 1:03:31
  understands shit. I don't— this was
• 1:03:36
  one— Ed Sheeran, congratulations. You ended
• 1:03:40
  your career in the funniest way possible because you just—
• 1:03:44
  you just have no balls. I would actually have been okay
• 1:03:48
  if you took a stance one way or the other. I would have gladly
• 1:03:52
  disagreed with your stance. But the fact that you just pass the
• 1:03:56
  buck, you are the antithesis, the true opposite
• 1:04:01
  of what a musical artist is and should be. And you
• 1:04:05
  should be embarrassed and honestly go away forever. Also, your fucking music sucks.
• 1:04:09
  I mean, that's the thing is like, you know, what's really fascinating is one
• 1:04:13
  of the stadiums that was included was Raymond James Stadium.
• 1:04:16
  And I'm pretty sure they just had Kanye perform. Interesting.
• 1:04:20
  Kanye's fine. Who's— who's He's engaged
• 1:04:23
  in— you mean Nazis? You mean the guy that had a song a year ago
• 1:04:27
  called Heil Hitler? Yeah, that guy. So that's just checking.
• 1:04:30
  That's, that's who these people are taking a stand against.
• 1:04:34
  This is, this is the reality, is it's all selective bullshit.
• 1:04:37
  No, the reality is one thing. Robert Kraft is very good
• 1:04:40
  friends with Benjamin Netanyahu. Very good friends.
• 1:04:45
  Benjamin Netanyahu, by the way, I'm Jewish. Hi, played for Israel.
• 1:04:48
  Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal. War criminal.
• 1:04:52
  And, uh, and not only is,
• 1:04:55
  is, uh, is Kraft friends with Netanyahu, he's friends
• 1:04:59
  with Trump. And word on the street is that he's in the Epstein— like,
• 1:05:02
  you have no idea how mad I am about the entire thing. I am
• 1:05:06
  a Jew, a Jew that actually played professional sports
• 1:05:10
  and put out that I was Jewish. Got a lot of death threats,
• 1:05:13
  by the way, in the fucking process. So yeah, I have a very
• 1:05:17
  big problem when Jews specifically
• 1:05:20
  try to use Judaism to justify oppression. That's a
• 1:05:24
  very big problem for me. And in fact, I've said this before, and I'm
• 1:05:28
  sure people want to fucking hammer me for this, but like the most
• 1:05:32
  Jewish thing possible, because we are Jews, we are people that have been oppressed for
• 1:05:37
  thousands and thousands of years. The most Jewish thing you could be is pro-Palestine
• 1:05:41
  and the people who do not deserve to be oppressed. Those of you
• 1:05:45
  that have come, that have just in your minds be like, so you're pro-Hamas?
• 1:05:49
  No. What the fuck is wrong with you?
• 1:05:52
  How do you not see this? At least just truly,
• 1:05:56
  how do you not see it? Like, I don't—
• 1:06:01
  it honest to God, this is the one thing that actually
• 1:06:05
  breaks my heart. Like, it really upsets me because
• 1:06:09
  I'm not even fucking religious. I'm an atheist. I don't believe
• 1:06:13
  any of your religions are real. Literally none of them. I think they're all fucking
• 1:06:16
  bullshit. I have no problem with you expressing your faith.
• 1:06:19
  I have no problem believing your religion, performing your religion, perform,
• 1:06:24
  you know, prohibited that it does not harm other people.
• 1:06:27
  Like, I don't know what else to say other than believe what you would like
• 1:06:31
  and please express willingly because that's the great
• 1:06:34
  thing of what we're supposed to be. But the moment you make your
• 1:06:39
  religion some— somehow a way to make yourself bigger
• 1:06:43
  is the moment you have lost me before you even opened your fucking mouth.
• 1:06:47
  And that's the one thing I've always loved about Judaism.
• 1:06:51
  Jews have always been the underdogs. This is not that
• 1:06:55
  scenario, and it upsets me in a way that I actually can't articulate.
• 1:07:00
  Well, I think that there's a, you know, there's also the difference between being ethnically
• 1:07:04
  Jewish and being Um, like, uh,
• 1:07:07
  applying Jewish principles, uh,
• 1:07:11
  to your life. And you can be ethnically Jewish and
• 1:07:15
  not give a fuck about Jewish beliefs. And that is what Netanyahu and Israel is.
• 1:07:19
  Just like the people who perpetrated 9/11
• 1:07:23
  in the name of Islam didn't give a fuck about the values of Islam.
• 1:07:26
  No. And didn't give a fuck about— and so they don't represent Muslims to me,
• 1:07:29
  and Israel doesn't represent Jews to me.
• 1:07:32
  Israel represents the corruption of,
• 1:07:36
  of religion that exists across the world in every religion.
• 1:07:39
  We see it here with radical Christianity, evangelical Christianity,
• 1:07:44
  the pedophiles of the Catholic Church,
• 1:07:47
  uh, Muslim extremists, uh, the, the Zionists that believe
• 1:07:51
  in apartheid and genocide. It's all of the same thing, which is you've warped
• 1:07:56
  religion into an excuse for power and I— it's
• 1:08:00
  all the same. So there's no way— and hating
• 1:08:03
  al-Qaeda is not, uh, Islamophobic,
• 1:08:06
  and hating the, the— a genocidal apartheid
• 1:08:10
  state is not, uh, anti-Semitic. I had a,
• 1:08:14
  um, I had a very— I told you this before, I probably actually said this
• 1:08:17
  story, or— but I, I was in a documentary, uh,
• 1:08:21
  about my time with Team Israel. And our time in Israel, I, I got to
• 1:08:24
  meet so many, like, wonderful Palestinians. And there was one moment in the movie where
• 1:08:27
  we met And he was the best guy I ever met. Yeah, just hearing his
• 1:08:31
  perspective and why he wasn't like hesitant of rooting for us,
• 1:08:34
  like I'm getting teary-eyed and like emotional thinking about it now. And it
• 1:08:38
  just, it'll never not bother me that— it'll
• 1:08:43
  never not bother me. Yeah, it will, it will live with me forever.
• 1:08:48
  Yeah. And, um, what's happening right now will
• 1:08:53
  live with me forever. And I hate that I in
• 1:08:57
  any way, shape, or form, like, people would ever think
• 1:09:01
  that I would justify this behavior. Yeah. I— and,
• 1:09:04
  and the fact that NFL owners so easily,
• 1:09:08
  so easily, so easily— fucking
• 1:09:11
  Kanye played fucking what, SoFi, like, fucking a couple months ago?
• 1:09:15
  Like, I, I just— no. And you have, dude, like,
• 1:09:18
  fucking tap out. You guys are fucked. And you don't, you don't
• 1:09:22
  deserve to be put in bought by a group of extremists,
• 1:09:27
  um, within your ethnic group or your religion to defend—
• 1:09:31
  to ever have to defend yourself. And that's like what ends up happening, right?
• 1:09:35
  Um, but luckily our viewers, and I think the people in our circle,
• 1:09:38
  really understand. And, you know, um, certainly I
• 1:09:42
  will never put up with any sort of antisemitism on that front. No,
• 1:09:46
  no, trust me. I, I hope you know, I'd like— I When I
• 1:09:50
  played for Israel the first time in 2013, we couldn't take the bus
• 1:09:54
  to the stadium. Yeah. And we had to have a dummy bus and
• 1:09:57
  an actual bus, and no one took either of them. And they had to be
• 1:10:01
  sniffed out by dog, uh, sniffing— like bomb-sniffing
• 1:10:04
  dogs. Dog-sniffing bombs. Sorry, whatever it is. No, you know what it is. I'm sorry,
• 1:10:08
  it's been enough of these. I know. Um, it was just— it was
• 1:10:11
  like kind of a reality because at the time it wasn't
• 1:10:15
  because of any oppression. At the time, their worry was
• 1:10:18
  Munich Olympics fucking 30 years prior.
• 1:10:22
  What do you mean Munich Olympics? When the Israeli Olympians
• 1:10:26
  were all slaughtered, they were worried about that for what? Us.
• 1:10:30
  Why? Because they thought we were going to be killed because we were representing
• 1:10:33
  Israel in a world. Did they think that? They did. We had 3
• 1:10:38
  members of our team that were a part of— that were definitely Mossad.
• 1:10:42
  Okay, no, no, like it was a different—
• 1:10:46
  a lot of people. It was a very weird scenario. It was very ugly.
• 1:10:49
  We actually— I mean, they still talk like that. Oh no, no, we weren't allowed
• 1:10:52
  to wear— still act like this. They act like Israel's always under attack. No,
• 1:10:55
  but at the time, like, there was— we weren't— this wasn't from Israel. I'm sorry,
• 1:10:59
  this is from Major League Baseball. We weren't allowed to— Major League Baseball
• 1:11:03
  was afraid you were going to be attacked? Yes. Okay, I thought you were saying
• 1:11:06
  that— I was like, of course the Israeli government would know that. No, no,
• 1:11:08
  no, no, Major League Baseball Major League Baseball, like, we weren't allowed to wear our
• 1:11:12
  Israeli garb anywhere outside of like the stadium. Like,
• 1:11:15
  they didn't want anyone to know. Like, it was because of antisemitism.
• 1:11:19
  Yes, yes. Okay, okay, okay. That— because of antisemitism. There was
• 1:11:23
  a time when this was the thing. I thought you were saying Israel
• 1:11:27
  was worried you were going to be attacked. I was like, well, yeah, they always
• 1:11:30
  say— they didn't even fucking know we were there at the time. Okay, now I
• 1:11:34
  just— I want put it on record. No, no, baseball. Okay,
• 1:11:37
  like, because they were like, you're gonna get anti-Semitic. Because, because there are a lot
• 1:11:41
  of anti-Semitic— a lot, you know, um, fans in, in baseball. And you
• 1:11:45
  know what's not helping? All of fucking this. Yeah, is— yeah,
• 1:11:49
  um, Robert Kraft does nothing but make people like Cody's
• 1:11:53
  lives harder. I would just— before we move on, I want to make sure that
• 1:11:56
  everybody knows these are the stadiums that are on record that reportedly were going to
• 1:11:59
  join Robert Kraft in their protest
• 1:12:04
  of Macklemore. The Panthers, David Tepper,
• 1:12:08
  already a well-loved owner. Jerry Jones,
• 1:12:11
  naturally. Well, he'll just do whatever Robert Kraft says and apparently
• 1:12:16
  vice versa. The Falcons and Arthur Blank,
• 1:12:19
  huge bummer. You're better than that. You're the one good one.
• 1:12:23
  Suppose now I'm going to double-check these, but I just want everybody— that's
• 1:12:27
  what this is, what's being reported. The Bucs
• 1:12:31
  and the Glazer family and Lincoln Financial and Jeffrey Lurie,
• 1:12:34
  which is real fucking weird. So anyways, everybody double-check,
• 1:12:38
  triple-check those. But that's what's being reported. Just, you know,
• 1:12:42
  none of this is— I'm a Patriots fan. I am openly critical
• 1:12:47
  of Robert Kraft and have been for a long time. And I, and I will
• 1:12:49
  be. I very much try my best not to ever
• 1:12:54
  sugarcoat anything, but also I cover the NFL, and so I'm not asking anybody
• 1:12:58
  to revoke their fandom or anything like that. But God forbid we just have
• 1:13:02
  open conversations about these things. Um, and I can
• 1:13:05
  tell you one thing, there's not a chance in hell I'll ever go to a
• 1:13:09
  concert at Gillette Stadium again. Yeah, I'll never do it. I will never— really gross.
• 1:13:12
  I will never see music performed at Gillette Stadium again
• 1:13:16
  in my life. Yeah, I won't fucking do it. So there's
• 1:13:19
  that. Media Corner, real quick.
• 1:13:24
  We— did you talk about this at all on your show on The Fan with
• 1:13:28
  the NCAA? I'm sorry, the Protect College Sports Act?
• 1:13:31
  No. So this is our Media Corner. I would— I've been very much waiting to
• 1:13:35
  talk about this. This is a— I don't know what to say other than those
• 1:13:39
  of you that don't know about this Save College— Protect College
• 1:13:43
  Sports Act is the official— it's the PCSA. It's— we've
• 1:13:47
  discussed it quite a bit as time's gone forward. But like, here's the deal.
• 1:13:51
  I want to make this abundantly clear. This is
• 1:13:55
  disgusting in a way that I like. I just—
• 1:13:59
  I don't know what to say, Tanya, other than even
• 1:14:03
  the title of this bill makes me sick.
• 1:14:07
  Yeah, it's giving very much Make America Great Again, Protect College
• 1:14:10
  Sports, Protect Women's Sports. Protect, protect, protect, protect.
• 1:14:16
  The reality is the— at the core of this for our purposes is
• 1:14:20
  the fact that ESPN has been pushing publicly for the passing
• 1:14:24
  of the Protect College Sports Act, which is fucking
• 1:14:28
  real federal legislation that apparently ESPN has decided that they're totally
• 1:14:32
  comfortable to— because it makes more money. Of course it does. Right.
• 1:14:35
  So they've had Nick Saban and Pat McAfee rallying for— oh, the most
• 1:14:39
  completely right down the middle people that the
• 1:14:43
  fucking organization has ever had. He's actually spoken to Congress like we, you know,
• 1:14:46
  whatever. Yeah. No, no, he fucking is buddying up with Trump a shit ton of
• 1:14:49
  times. I believe, I believe the Hunger Games fucking— I saw Pat McAfee
• 1:14:53
  buddying up with Trump. Pat, what the fuck happened to you?
• 1:14:56
  You used to have balls. So then this
• 1:15:00
  past Saturday, which everybody knows, they had Ted Cruz on College GameDay
• 1:15:04
  for 10 minutes spreading falsehoods and misinformation
• 1:15:09
  in, in defense of the College Sports Act, which he has
• 1:15:12
  coauthored, by the way. He coauthored this with a Democrat,
• 1:15:16
  a very centrist Democrat who— so they keep calling it
• 1:15:20
  a bipartisan bill, which is why ESPN gets away with this. It's not a bipartisan
• 1:15:23
  bill. It has a ton of actually left pushback. And the
• 1:15:27
  big thing about this bill is that it
• 1:15:30
  would— it is seeking a lot of things, but essentially It is seeking for the
• 1:15:34
  NCAA to have more power than it's ever had before, more power than it had
• 1:15:38
  before NIL, the kind of power that would essentially have them
• 1:15:41
  running themselves as a professional business on one end without a players union
• 1:15:45
  on the other side, and also would see them looking
• 1:15:50
  at potential antitrust exemptions, which is something
• 1:15:53
  that is afforded to in ways that they
• 1:15:57
  shouldn't to a lot of professional leagues that
• 1:16:00
  then would be extended to the NCAA. If they are now in some way,
• 1:16:03
  shape, or form not liable for antitrust, then now
• 1:16:08
  they can collude against the college players better than they ever had before.
• 1:16:12
  And none of this protects the college athletes. They don't get
• 1:16:16
  a players union. They don't get a union or student athlete union. They don't get
• 1:16:19
  any of the things that protect them. And it gives them more power over
• 1:16:23
  yet again, a a majority Black workforce.
• 1:16:27
  I don't know what to say other than this bill is like— it
• 1:16:31
  should just be written like this: we're doing evil shit that
• 1:16:36
  is clearly fucking evil in front of you,
• 1:16:39
  and you're going to like it because it reminds you of a bygone era
• 1:16:43
  that never fucking existed. And we're gonna put out fucking Uncle
• 1:16:48
  Fester Ted Cruz to get it going. I never thought this day would happen.
• 1:16:51
  Good on you, fucking University of Texas fans, for fucking chanting
• 1:16:55
  Ted Cruz sucks over and over again. Good job there. Fucking love that.
• 1:16:59
  Ted Cruz, deeply unpopular senator, being pushing this, this stuff.
• 1:17:03
  By the way, a bunch of stuff that he said was misinformation. Then they have
• 1:17:07
  so much backlash to that that they agree to have somebody on to speak for
• 1:17:11
  the other side, which was the NCAA.
• 1:17:14
  So they had the NAACP president, right? NAACP.
• 1:17:19
  Spokesperson for, you know, on their end, which, by the way, very qualified
• 1:17:25
  person. But like, what? Also, what? The NCAA president,
• 1:17:29
  Derek Johnson, who, who signed on there, they're against this for
• 1:17:33
  obvious reasons because someone needs to be. Majority Black workforce.
• 1:17:36
  Not Chris Murphy, the senator who's been loudest against it. Not Cory
• 1:17:40
  Booker, one of the other senators who's been loudest against it.
• 1:17:43
  It's the NCAA— NAACP president.
• 1:17:47
  And they gave him a little slot on
• 1:17:50
  the 6 PM Eastern Time SportsCenter. Eastern Time.
• 1:17:54
  By the way, just curious, did the SEC threaten Jimmy Kimmel to not
• 1:17:58
  have James Talarico on his show? Yes. Cool.
• 1:18:02
  Was this same person put in the same
• 1:18:06
  time slot as fucking Ted Cruz? Yes. ESPN, fuck you.
• 1:18:11
  So Ted Cruz gets 3 million viewers on College GameDay. And how many
• 1:18:15
  does the president of the NAACP get? Give or take $400,000.
• 1:18:20
  Cool. ESPN, you're a propaganda machine. By the way, by the way,
• 1:18:23
  with the vote coming up that they're pushing for, this is so last minute
• 1:18:27
  that for— in order for it to even— oh, that's right, it might not even
• 1:18:31
  fucking sway anything. So like, they put— I mean, it's a total like— it's
• 1:18:35
  a middle finger. It's gross. And kudos to Derek Johnson. We listened to it.
• 1:18:38
  We cannot play it for you because ESPN will take it down, but like,
• 1:18:41
  we listened to it. He was making very good like that realistically
• 1:18:45
  we're talking about a very one-sided— this Protect College Sports
• 1:18:49
  Act is protect the people who want the money in sports, you know,
• 1:18:52
  the NCAA itself. So basically the— just so we're all clear,
• 1:18:56
  the Protect College Sports Act very much limits the amount of money that goes to
• 1:18:59
  the players, the players that are generating literally everything. Tonya,
• 1:19:03
  I'm going to ask you a couple of questions and they're one-answer questions.
• 1:19:07
  Does it limit the amount that coaches get? No. Universities get?
• 1:19:10
  No. Television networks get? No. Streaming services get?
• 1:19:13
  No. Is there anyone that is limited in the money
• 1:19:17
  that they get outside of the workforce? No.
• 1:19:20
  Thank you. This is fucking like cartoonish,
• 1:19:25
  like swashbuckling, mustachey, fucking evil
• 1:19:29
  bullshit. This is fucking insane that this
• 1:19:33
  is even a goddamn conversation. This is a man that is tying a helpless
• 1:19:37
  woman to a fucking train track. And you
• 1:19:41
  are saying this is great. This is— fuck,
• 1:19:45
  fuck. By the way, your reaction is,
• 1:19:50
  is very reminiscent of a lot of the reaction I got.
• 1:19:53
  So I did a 7.5-minute piece on this for my Substack,
• 1:19:56
  and a lot of people were like, this— for them,
• 1:19:59
  this was like the final straw with ESPN, which was like,
• 1:20:04
  because nobody like owes anybody to like— listen, if you want to throw— but like
• 1:20:07
  a lot of people were like, I, I'm canceling cancelling my fucking subscription. Like,
• 1:20:10
  they're over it. And so you sort of having this like level
• 1:20:14
  of extreme reaction to it on the show, to me, is just like validating so
• 1:20:18
  much of what I was seeing in the comments from people, which was like,
• 1:20:21
  I have been trying so hard to just like separate myself from some of
• 1:20:25
  the bullshit on ESPN, and then for them to do something this blatantly supervillain—
• 1:20:29
  it's just supervillain evil shit. Like, this is,
• 1:20:32
  this is so fucking This
• 1:20:36
  is like cartoony fucking evil.
• 1:20:40
  Like, I, I'm like, I'm— I— did anyone learn
• 1:20:44
  right from wrong? Did anyone learn this as a child? No. Like,
• 1:20:48
  this is fucking insane. Like, it's not even a question,
• 1:20:52
  and it's so clear on the color of the workforce to the
• 1:20:56
  color of the people that are employing the workforce. Like, it's like fucking
• 1:21:00
  Frightening how fucking ugly this is. You're driving Chance to
• 1:21:04
  drink. Chance, hell on earth. You and me both. Get a beveled
• 1:21:08
  glass, it's easier to hold on to. So before
• 1:21:12
  we wrap up Media Corner, we'll lighten it up a little bit. Good fucking
• 1:21:16
  luck. No, this shit's so funny. Bring it.
• 1:21:19
  Okay, so, uh, Drew Brees was getting a shit ton of
• 1:21:22
  flack this week for his, um,
• 1:21:25
  really bad call of the Bears game. Like, well, did he get
• 1:21:29
  In the middle, in the middle of Caleb Williams absolutely balling
• 1:21:33
  out, him and Adam Amin were talking shit about Caleb Williams not checking down
• 1:21:37
  enough and having too low of a completion percentage. Then not only while
• 1:21:40
  they're saying it, while they're saying it, okay, Drew Brees
• 1:21:45
  is saying this, they're going back and forth. Caleb checks
• 1:21:49
  down to get to 70% completion percentage in
• 1:21:52
  the game. Like, it was so embarrassing they had to call themselves out on it.
• 1:21:55
  Drew Brees is a constant hater. He's really, really boring. And meanwhile,
• 1:21:58
  on the flip side, we have Tom Brady absolutely crushing it on the
• 1:22:02
  Eagles podcast, on the Eagles broadcast. He did great. He was like— people are
• 1:22:05
  loving Tom Brady. He's really complimentary of quarterbacks. That being said,
• 1:22:09
  he's creepy as shit with everything else, but weirdly he
• 1:22:13
  was really great. So here's the thing. I think Drew knows he's
• 1:22:16
  the lame-ass of the group and always has been. Um, he's always
• 1:22:20
  played like 4th fiddle to Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Aaron Rodgers.
• 1:22:24
  And like, it was Brady and Manning for a long time, then Aaron Rodgers came
• 1:22:27
  in and he was like, oh, now I'm not even third, like, fuck, right?
• 1:22:30
  So he's been playing fourth fiddle for a minute and he decides to—
• 1:22:34
  so Adam Schefter— I'm so sorry— Adam Schefter
• 1:22:38
  reports over the weekend that last year Drew Brees
• 1:22:42
  was like considering a comeback to fill in. He was going to come
• 1:22:46
  back and play the game for Bo Nix in the AFC Championship Game. I will
• 1:22:49
  admit I heard this in a couple places too. Okay, so people whispered this to
• 1:22:52
  me. So he said this, right? So everybody says—
• 1:22:57
  calls Adam Schefter a fucking clown. They're like, there's no way, right? And then,
• 1:23:00
  then they show Drew Brees having said— what you heard was probably Drew Brees said
• 1:23:04
  it on a podcast like a while back, that he had been like in like
• 1:23:07
  conversation kind of, and then he started throwing the ball and it was like very
• 1:23:10
  clear he couldn't actually do it, right? Um, and then everybody
• 1:23:15
  called Adam Schefter a clown. Sean Payton says he never
• 1:23:19
  fucking had a say. He never heard anything about this. This was never a real
• 1:23:22
  plan. Sean Payton's like, I don't know. I didn't hear anything about this.
• 1:23:26
  And then Adam Schefter gets on Air Day and he's like scoffing
• 1:23:31
  at everybody who's telling— he's like, it's— that's what happened. Like, that's a real— that's
• 1:23:35
  a real report. So Adam Schefter and Drew Brees, who are 2
• 1:23:40
  people who combine for maybe the world's greatest charisma vacuum,
• 1:23:44
  that exists. Yeah. Are out here trying to convince us
• 1:23:48
  of this thing that they— the only reason you ever heard about it
• 1:23:52
  was because Drew Brees talked about it on a podcast. Yeah. Adam Schefter
• 1:23:56
  keeps trying to sell it. And Sean Payton, who by all accounts
• 1:24:00
  should have a decent relationship with the quarterback that he fucking coached for 15
• 1:24:04
  years, is like, that didn't happen. And I just love how
• 1:24:08
  lame, how How, how birds of a lame
• 1:24:12
  feather flock together in such a beautiful way.
• 1:24:15
  It's just gorgeous. Oh, just kidding. Just kidding.
• 1:24:19
  Here's the honest to God thing.
• 1:24:22
  Do you know how fucking awful you have to be for
• 1:24:26
  me, me to take Sean
• 1:24:30
  Payton's side on it? Like fucking anything.
• 1:24:33
  And like, I'm not even taking his side. I just like, I believe him.
• 1:24:36
  I believe him too. I dislike Sean Payton. So much
• 1:24:39
  that I inadvertently hate every season of King
• 1:24:43
  of Queens. I fucking hate Sean Payton.
• 1:24:46
  I've met Sean Payton, met him with his daughter. His daughter was
• 1:24:50
  lovely, but weirdly, I inadvertently hate her too because
• 1:24:54
  she's associated with Sean Payton. That's how I am with Urban Meyer. I fucking hate
• 1:24:58
  you so much, Sean Payton. Yeah, yet somehow in this story,
• 1:25:03
  you're coming out to be the good guy. Because of the other people
• 1:25:07
  that are involved. Yeah, I can't believe Mr. Editor isn't
• 1:25:10
  involved too, but I just always assume Mr. Editor is at
• 1:25:14
  all times. I just think it's so funny that he went out on a limb
• 1:25:17
  to push this clearly fake story. What a fucking hill to die on.
• 1:25:20
  He went out on a limb to push this fake story for Drew Brees.
• 1:25:24
  Nobody believes him or Drew Brees. Now he's out there fucking like,
• 1:25:28
  you know, trying to defend it. Everybody's already mad at Drew Brees for being a
• 1:25:33
  passive-aggressive salty old man And being boring as fuck
• 1:25:37
  on top of it. He is boring. And meanwhile, golden boy Seven Rings
• 1:25:40
  is like, Jalen Hurts fucking rules, and everybody loves
• 1:25:44
  him again. The Tom Brady redemption tour is purely because he's
• 1:25:48
  just doing okay and like just saying normal shit on a podcast. He's just not
• 1:25:52
  being a dick. He's getting all this fucking weird plastic surgery
• 1:25:55
  and his hairline just won't stop going forward. The best thing about Tom Brady,
• 1:25:59
  the worst The thing about Tom Brady is the worst he ever gets in— when
• 1:26:03
  he's in his critique or analysis mode, sometimes he gets nitpicky, like very Belichickian,
• 1:26:07
  and like he's like, why didn't you think of this thing that only like me
• 1:26:10
  and Bill Belichick would ever think of? You're like, all right, fucking relax, you know?
• 1:26:13
  Yeah, you're that good. Good. But like, I'm glad you saw it. But he also
• 1:26:15
  doesn't have any insecurity about himself as a football player, so he
• 1:26:19
  doesn't do that old man salty thing. Whereas Drew Brees
• 1:26:23
  has one ring, no MVPs, he has a bunch of— he has
• 1:26:27
  like insecurity, and he clearly has all of these issues. And Tom
• 1:26:30
  Brady's like the golden boy who he never lived up to.
• 1:26:34
  And it like literally comes through in their broadcasting and it makes me laugh so
• 1:26:38
  fucking hard. It is. It's, it's very good. It's very good.
• 1:26:41
  It's also very good that Adam Schefter, who, you know,
• 1:26:44
  worships Tom Brady as a Michigan quarterback,
• 1:26:47
  definitely just has to settle for Drew Brees like a sidekick. Too bad.
• 1:26:51
  Very good shit. Too bad. Very good stuff. Should have picked a better
• 1:26:54
  Mr. Editor. I love that for 2 people I don't like because I don't like
• 1:26:58
  Drew Brees and I definitely don't like Adam Sandler. Well, we should end— we should
• 1:27:01
  end really quickly, but we should at least mention the Emmys. It was on the
• 1:27:05
  rundown. They were last night. Uh, uh, listen,
• 1:27:08
  uh, John Mulaney was the highlight. Sure. I thought
• 1:27:13
  Mariska did a good job. I thought she did a good job too. I liked
• 1:27:16
  that it was switched up from a comedian. Like, I just thought it was a
• 1:27:18
  cool— yeah, it was fine. I thought it was a little bit more— it hearkened
• 1:27:21
  back to like a more old school vibe. But like, uh, you know, it's just
• 1:27:25
  I will say what it did positively. It, it made me start watching
• 1:27:29
  Widow's Bay today. Yes. And I'm watching— which you should. Amazing. I'm watching
• 1:27:33
  Widow's Bay. Like, I understand why it had so much love. I like— I think
• 1:27:36
  the Emmys are always really funny because they're always like, what new show is like
• 1:27:39
  gonna— like, they don't— they rarely reward like consistency.
• 1:27:43
  They're always like, what's new and fucking awesome? Well, actually, uh, but Mariska
• 1:27:47
  Hargitay said a great joke about that. Did she? Yeah, she was talking about about
• 1:27:51
  like, I have won— I won an Emmy my first time, I can't believe it,
• 1:27:54
  it was 22 years ago playing this role on, on SVU,
• 1:27:58
  and I have won a number of Emmys since then. That number is zero.
• 1:28:01
  Yeah, I did. And I thought that was funny. It was a good joke.
• 1:28:04
  And that there's that consistency you're talking about, right? And also, I mean,
• 1:28:08
  on the flip side, Jean Smart won again for Hacks, and she's
• 1:28:11
  like— to me, that's like one of those performances that did wonderful, that did deserve—
• 1:28:15
  I stopped after season
• 1:28:20
  season 2. Why would you do that? Uh, because I found, um, I, I have
• 1:28:22
  my reasons. Not Hannah Einbinder?
• 1:28:26
  Not her herself, no, no, no. You gotta— she was great.
• 1:28:29
  She's great. No, Cody, she's great. You've made a mistake. I don't think I did.
• 1:28:33
  No, you made a mistake. That's— Cody, I know you.
• 1:28:36
  You made a mistake. You need to keep watching that show, okay?
• 1:28:39
  You've made a huge mistake. Were you
• 1:28:43
  going through something in your life at the time? Because that happens with me with
• 1:28:46
  shows sometimes. Hacks is a perfect fucking show.
• 1:28:50
  I will say their second to last season was a little tough to get through,
• 1:28:53
  but like the final season was so fucking good. It's— you gotta do it,
• 1:28:56
  dude. You, you cannot— Jean Smart is,
• 1:29:00
  is worth it. You need to do it for— I agree with that. You got
• 1:29:03
  to do it for Jean. Um, you're gonna love Widow's Bay, which I know you
• 1:29:06
  already like. Here's the thing, um, I— the show
• 1:29:09
  is about is about a topic that I think is patently
• 1:29:13
  fucking stupid. And it's this endless worship of
• 1:29:18
  comedians and their prowess of intelligence that
• 1:29:22
  I firmly believe, because I know every comedian you, you love and
• 1:29:26
  know, I know them personally. They're not intelligent.
• 1:29:30
  And that's in reference to what? It's just how the show
• 1:29:34
  portrays it. Her character, which is accurate—
• 1:29:38
  not, not, not the, uh, not, not, not Smart, uh, that— what's the young— what's
• 1:29:42
  the younger one? She's phenomenal in the part. Hannah Einbinder. Yeah, she's great in the
• 1:29:46
  part. Oh yeah. Uh, I just find her character— not her,
• 1:29:49
  she plays it phenomenally because that's what the point is, right? To be so
• 1:29:53
  insufferable that I can't handle the character that's
• 1:29:58
  on the show. And that also leaks into Jeannie Smart as well. There's a writing
• 1:30:01
  about it that is a very pompous things that put— that
• 1:30:05
  plateaus comedians in a way that I don't like. I think you're being sexist.
• 1:30:09
  No, it has nothing to do with female comedians. I apologize for that.
• 1:30:13
  That has to do with comedians in general.
• 1:30:17
  Because I'll give you an example. Yeah, The Marvelous
• 1:30:22
  Mrs. Maisel, I think, is, is just— this is a better show than Maisel.
• 1:30:24
  Really? Really? I, man, I love Maisel.
• 1:30:28
  Maisel was awesome. Stand-up comedy was amazing. I loved it. But also, you're talking about
• 1:30:32
  like 1960s woman comedy, and like, there is a part of that that's amazing.
• 1:30:36
  Show is good. It's just— it's— yeah,
• 1:30:39
  she's— she— her being unlikable and like annoying is part— is— no,
• 1:30:43
  no, no, no, no, I agree. She's fantastic in the role.
• 1:30:47
  It's not about that.
• 1:30:50
  Listen, I— you're allowed to like me. Like, I'm not judging. How about this?
• 1:30:53
  I've been around— I've been around a lot of comedians and people that
• 1:30:57
  pretended that they were for a living, and, and it's just— I can't
• 1:31:01
  stress enough, I hate them. That's— and that's totally fine. I just
• 1:31:06
  know you and you would like this show. I did the first 2 seasons.
• 1:31:10
  You just— you're just being a brat. And I do think— I do think that
• 1:31:14
  you might have been in a specific headspace by the end of season 2 that
• 1:31:17
  might not have anything to do with the show. Either way, if you never watch
• 1:31:20
  it, um, what I would recommend 100% is Widow's Bay. I also think,
• 1:31:24
  um, if you are on the Matthew Rhys kick,
• 1:31:27
  Beast in Me is actually really good. I've— I've— The Beast in Me is actually
• 1:31:30
  really good. Claire Danes doing full Claire Danes. I'm a big fan.
• 1:31:33
  To listen. These are like— I gotta get into— I've started Widow's Bay.
• 1:31:37
  Okay. But most importantly tonight, catching up with the most recent episode. You haven't
• 1:31:41
  watched the most recent Lanterns? It's fucking insane. I know, I heard. What the fuck?
• 1:31:45
  I'm so excited. What have you been doing? Stuff.
• 1:31:49
  Well, you haven't been fixing our fucking issues with our— like, really? Because you're
• 1:31:53
  watching me and Mocha do it. No, you should have been doing it all week.
• 1:31:57
  I did. I thought I did do it. I reset the the internet. I literally
• 1:32:01
  bought a new internet package. I reset that goddamn system 4
• 1:32:05
  times. Everything said it was working.
• 1:32:08
  So you didn't do that and you didn't watch Lanterns, and here
• 1:32:11
  we are on Tuesday. You had all this time and all you did
• 1:32:15
  was form enough of a fucking opinion about Widow's
• 1:32:19
  Bay. Thank you, I appreciate that. Well done.
• 1:32:23
  You know what? No, I'm just kidding. I, I do appreciate how hard you tried.
• 1:32:26
  That did not It's too late.
• 1:32:29
  It's too late. Listen, at the end of the day, it's dark out now.
• 1:32:32
  We come together. It's dark. We come together. We cling our glasses together
• 1:32:36

• 1:32:40
