• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the word.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, fuck.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Rum doesn't rhyme with anything.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Pat, I'm going underwater today, too. You're going scuba diving?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I'm going scuba diving.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Careful, it's dangerous down there. We've got to tether ourselves.

• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Between the monsoon at the game this week, we're going
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: down to Florida in hurricane season. We're going to be
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: spending a lot of time underwater, Pat.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Speaking of underwater, actually not speaking of underwater at all,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Couple changes in the degenerate community this week, McGingy. Before
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: we get into football talk, did you hear about the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: vapes in the slots?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Pat, that was one of the best transitions of all time.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: But yes, I heard about the vapes. What kind of
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: government bullshit is going on, Pat?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I know, the degenerates, man. PA, for those unfamiliar, today
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: is the Final day of the skill games at the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: gas stations and the grocery stores and the bars and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: what have you. If you're caught with the skill game
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: after today, you are subject to a fine.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Bullshit, Pat. Taking away money from all those small businesses
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and putting it in the hands of the large casinos.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: That's all they're doing.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: And Frenchie's Deli got me turned on to the vapes.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: They're having a huge vape sale today, Big Gingy. Did
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you see that?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Getting rid of all the flavors. You know why, Pat?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Because big, big vapes. Enjoy RJ Reynolds Vapor Company. They're fine.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: They're approved products.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: No, it's ridiculous. I mean, back-to-back laws being enforced in
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the same week. I saw that shenanigans in Castle Shannon.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: No.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: No.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Well, they got $ 2 Icy Light Nights, and they were
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: on the news this week saying, hey, you know, we're
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: no longer going to be able to do the $ 2
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Icy Light Nights. Wow, try saying that five times fast
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: after five beers. $ 2 Icy Light Nights because they were
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: subsidizing all the cost of that with their skill games.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's kind of a cop-out, I think, but,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: No way, dude. They said they were more than covering
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: their rent in skill games every month.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not disagreeing with that. Yeah, it's kind of... I mean,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you ever sat down and played one of those things?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. I had a nice time. Where do we go?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: It was not shenanigans.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: It was.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: It might have been shenanigans, but it was off of...
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: It was in like Ross area, North Hills area. God damn,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: they had wings there.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Anyways.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I'm playing the skill games. One of the waitresses looks
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: over and she goes, play the football one. And I said, oh, okay.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Because I was losing a couple of money. I turned
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: $ 10 into $ 80 in three minutes and it paid for
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: my whole meal.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Wow. It was incredible. Money printing machines.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And I don't know if it was shenanigans or
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: if it was mulligans or if it was like crustaceans
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: or something like that, dude. It was a one word name.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I was down at the take a break a couple
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of years ago and there was this dude on the,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: he was riding the Buffalo, right? And once he got,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I'd never played any of those table games. So I
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: was talking to him about the table games. Turns out
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: it was Mario Lemieux's former private chef, right? And he
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: starts telling me about all the shit that used to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: happen there. He said, after the Stanley cup, the first cup,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and it was said in oh nine, Everyone like partied
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: for like a whole weekend at Mario's house. And apparently
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Malkin's wife or girlfriend at the time, whatever, would only
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: eat hot dogs in America. She didn't like any other
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: food in America. She would only eat hot dogs. So
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: this guy had to go to giant Eagle and buy
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: a bunch of packs of hot dogs for Malkin's wife.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: That's a Pittsburgh. That sounds like an early contender for
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: yinz or the weak.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: He gets on the buff. He's like, I need a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: buffalo spotter. And this dude was he was a homosexual.
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I could tell. So he told me he needed a
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: buffalo spotter. I didn't know exactly what that meant. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I wasn't too keen on finding out. But then he
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: sat down at the buffalo machine and he's like, once
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I get three of a kind on the buffaloes, you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: got to pick a buffalo and then we'll ride the herd.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And then when the herd comes, you got to point
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: out buffaloes for me to click on, yada, yada, yada.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, whatever. So he's right. He's doing
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: his thing. I'm pointing at Buffalo's and it's win, win,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: free spin, free spin, win, herd, free spin, Buffalo, win,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: free spin. Half hour later, this dude's up like $ 600
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: fucking table games. And yeah, he paid for me and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: my buddy's drinks the rest of the night. So that
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: was my wonderful memory. That was a take a break.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Take a break. Great place. I also, I found the description, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: The discrepancy between the shenanigans. The one I went to,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: shenanigans bar and grill on Babcock Boulevard. The one that's
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: in the news is spelled differently. It's spelled like shenanigans.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Like someone whose name is Shannon.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Castle Shannon.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: That's in Castle.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Castle Shannon. That makes shenanigans. So there are two different
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: shenanigans that they're talking about.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: What's that place with all the shit on the wall
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: that you like to go to? Hey, Farva. What's that
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: place with all the shit on the wall you like
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to go to? They sing on your birthday?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Shenanigans? They had good wings there over in Babcock. I've
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: never been to the Castle Shannon one.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Well, let's stop.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: No longer $ 2 Icy Light Nights. $ 2 Icy Light Nights.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: $ 2 Icy Light Nights. Let's stop beating around the bush.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: $ 2 Icy Light Nights.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Stop beating around the bush, McGinji. Let's dig in, grab
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the cock out of the bush, talk about the Colts game.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Steelers get the ball first, have been hot in the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: first quarter lately, but not on this possession. A quick
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: three and out thanks to an offensive holding call on
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: a long Jalen Warren run, and Cam Johnston boots it
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: to Indy. Indy starts at their own 40, good field position,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: and a couple Tylan Warren completions put them in field
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: goal range. Schrader is good from 57 yards out, 3-0 Colts.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Steelers' second possession, now looking to improve on the 3-and-out,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and immediately, Jalen Warren says, this land is my land,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: takes a screen pass, 80 yards to the house, Steelers 7,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Colts 3. Terrible coverage, though, on the ensuing kick return,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: something we have seen through five weeks now. Colts start
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: at the Steelers' 43-yard line, but are held without a
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: first down. Schrader makes another long field goal, this one
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: good from 56 yards. Steelers 7, Colts 6. On to
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the second quarter now, and the Steelers' first possession of
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the quarter is a masterclass. 12 plays, 80 yards, 8 minutes,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: 38 seconds, capped by a 1-yard touchdown pass to Pat Fryermuth.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Steelers 14, Colts 6. Colts look to answer. Daniel Jones
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: leads a long answering drive. 11 plays, 71 yards, 5.5 minutes,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and this one, is capped by a one-yard rushing touchdown
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: to Colts tight end Tyler Warren. Steelers 14, Colts 13.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: The next two possessions go. Steelers 3 and out.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Punt. Colts. Punt.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Just over two minutes left in the half. Rodgers would
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: like to put some points on the board, knowing the
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Colts get the ball first. And thanks to a 21-yard
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: reception by Jeremy Bernard, the Steelers are in field goal range.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: And Boz is able to knock one home from 48 yards.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Steelers 17, Colts 13 at halftime. Colts with the ball.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: continue to get good field position, this time starting at
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: the 36. A 29-yard pass to Tyler Warren puts the
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Colts in a goal-to-go situation, and Jonathan Taylor cannot punch
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: it home. Colts settle for their third field goal of
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the day. Steelers 17, Colts 16. Back to a one-point game.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Midway through quarter three before Jalen Warren. Jalen Warren breaks
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: off a long touchdown run. This one from 50 yards.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: He now has an 80-yarder and a 50-yarder under his belt.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: This land is Warren's land. Steelers 24, Colts 16. Colts
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: add another field goal. Their fourth of the day. This
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: one good from 40. Steelers 24, Colts 19. Steelers answer
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: that with a three and out. We're on to the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Still 24-19.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: No renegade yet. Colts, what do the Colts do? They
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: put another field goal on the board. After another possession
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: starting with good field position, it's been the theme today,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Seahawks 24, Colts 22. Seahawks need to put this game
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: away now and not give it back to the Colts
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: in a one-possession game. Rodgers knows the drill. He finds
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Jeremy Bernard for 25 yards. Jalen Warren has a few
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: more quality carries, and Pat Friermuth scores his second of
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the day. This one from 17 yards. Steelers up two
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: possessions now with six and a half to play.
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: 31-22.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Renegade in suits. The Colts turn it over on downs.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: This one's pretty much over. Bods has another field goal
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: before the game ends. Colts turn it over on downs
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: one more time. And the Steelers win this one at
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Heinz Field.
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: 34-22.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Steelers 34, Colts 22 down in Heinz Field. Touchdowns, Pat
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Friermuth 2, Jalen Warren 2. What a day down on
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the North Shore, Pat. We had everything.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. And it was just a great team game
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: all around McG and G. The receivers were tight ends,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: were laying blocks down. Aaron Rodgers was spreading the ball around.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Offensive line held up pretty well, I'd say. Defensive line stuffed, stuffed, stuffed.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. So definitely a reason to be rock hard today.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: All I can think about is how fucking wet I
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: was Sunday morning between the hours of 7 a.m. and
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: like 11 a.m. Just soaking wet. That was the worst
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: tailgate weather I've ever been in, Pat.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I don't even think it's particularly close.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: It was warm enough to not snow, but still cold
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: enough to be freezing, right? It was that, you know,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: mid to high 40s and whipping windy fucking rain that
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: was torrential and all over the place.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: There was no solace, Pat. We were under the bridge
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: and still getting soaked.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you said it.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I didn't hear anything you said there, Pat.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Under the bridge downtown, we're getting shaky and wet.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was fucked up, Pat. I was an idiot.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I wore joggers and boots. I didn't know how bad
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: it was going to rain. And Amber was like, wear sweatpants.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: So I wore those ones.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Brother, you didn't wear a raincoat. Why are you talking
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: about your pants?
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I had a poncho on. I had a poncho on.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't see you wear it until after the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: rain started.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did wait to put it on.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: You had a fleece jacket on.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and a hoodie underneath. And they were soaked. Just soaked, Pat.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: And then you get to the game, and it's like
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: perfect football weather.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did take all my layers off.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I was fighting the jock itch in the stand, you know,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: cause I had so many layers of pants on, I
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: couldn't take off.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Luckily we had that empty seat in front of us.
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Put all our shit.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: It was like a winter.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: It was like a winter. You dress like a winter
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: game and then you show up and it's 60 degrees
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: and sunny. It was fucked up.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't fuck with it. Well, one of
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the reasons I don't fuck with indoor stadiums, McGingy, like
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: imagine for example, if Buffalo had a, had an indoor stadium,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: just an example, And we were up in that playoff
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: game and it was, you know, dress as warm as
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: you can. It's below freezing and there's snow everywhere. And
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: then you get into a 70 degree stadium and it's like,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: what are you supposed to do? Like where, where does
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: all your layers go?
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: They should have a coat check system.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: A big, the biggest coach. It should be like the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: pride of the country. The big coat check system.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Honestly, that would be incredible. I mean, because you're making sense, Pat.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I mean, you get these
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: warm weather teams, it doesn't really matter. But yeah, if
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you're in like Minnesota and you're outside tailgating and then
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you walk into a dome stadium.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I wonder how many employees you would have to, like
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: how many coat check people you'd have to hire for
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: that to work.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, we'll get some engineers on. We'll go through
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the details another time.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Should I ask Kroc?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: No.
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: No.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Okay okay okay uh yeah yeah i guess you'd strip
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: down before you get into the stadium and and you'd
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: have the coldest fucking half mile walk depending on where
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you tailgate.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah what would i ask exactly if highmark stadium had
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: a coat check system.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Well say what's at m & t bank stadium for
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the uh the.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Vikings that's the that's the ravens.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Okay what's the vikings u.s bank Yeah, that sounds right.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: US Bank, yeah.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: You had a coat check system for Winter Games. How
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: many employees would need to work that coat? This might
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: be the dumbest question. I didn't ask Rock like you
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: told me to, so I asked ChatGPT. Let's see what
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: they say. Yeah, I don't know. A coat check system.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: ChatGPT is saying that you could do it with 30
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: to 50 employees for a well-organized, full-service code check operation.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: That would be a disaster. You would need one per section.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: You might need two per section. Okay, here it comes now.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Large operation with faster post-game pickup, 50 to 70 plus.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: That's still, I don't know, man. I wonder if there's
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: any engineers out there. I wonder if there's any NFL
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: teams with a coat check system. That's probably what we
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: would need to look up, Pat. You there, Pat?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just hanging tight.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm ready to get off the coat system if
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: you are.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I've been trying to get off the coat check system
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: for three minutes now.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: All right. Let's talk. Let's talk the game.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: What did you think? Let me start here. Make Gingy
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: rate report card. Give a report card grade for Pat
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Graham's defense. This game.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I Graham's defense.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, we be.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I'd give it a B as well. I mean, we're
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: right there. They obviously came in with a plan and
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: they executed the plan, right? Stop Jonathan Taylor at all costs.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: They were without Derek Harmon, their best run defender, and
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: they had a defensive line by committee approach that completely
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: shut down Jonathan Taylor, only 45 yards on the ground,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: lowest total all season. But apart from that, I mean,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: it did look a little rough. They didn't force any turnovers. Technically,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: They had a sack, but it was one sack for
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: one yard. So I don't even know.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he was scrambling a little bit and,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: you know, it looked like almost like a run and
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: he kind of got back to the line of scrimmage.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Cam Hayward, though, had the sack, credit for it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: So we'll give him a sack, but at.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: The same time. Jonathan Taylor now, like you said, against
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: the Steelers, still doesn't have a 100-yard rushing game. And
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: this is the second game in a row we've held
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: him under 50.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Under 50, yeah.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 45 yards both times.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: And no touchdown. We've kind of figured him out.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: And Mike McCarthy and Pat Graham, they were both asked
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: if they watched last year's game and they said, yeah, absolutely.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: McCarthy noted that it was a little bit of a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: weird game because of the six turnovers. But yeah, I mean,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: they both said the run defense against such a great
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: quarterback or excuse me, running back and Jonathan Taylor was
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: something that they certainly studied and tried to implement from
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: last year into this game. So.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and remember how badly we got beat by that
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: team in 2024 with Joe Flacco at quarterback after Anthony
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Richardson got hurt. Taylor with 88 yards and a touchdown
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: in that game as well. So bottling him up surely
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: is the key.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: And the Colts only have one regular season win at
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Heinz Field, or in Pittsburgh, I should say.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: What? Since when?
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: I think they have two wins.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Ever?
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, since ever.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: No way.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I think all time, they're 2-18, including the playoffs.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: That's a crazy stat, Pat.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: That's not even a Pat stat.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Wow. Oh my gosh.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're 28-8 all-time against the Colts.
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: The Colts franchise has won two games in Pittsburgh. September 29th, 1968.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: And that was when they were in Baltimore. And then
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: November 9th, 2008. The Colts won 24 to 20. That's
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: a crazy stat. That's a good one, man. If that's
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: not even a Pat stat, I wonder what those are
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: going to be like.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: That's got some good stats.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, ho, ho, ho. Ho, ho, ho. Ho, ho, ho, ho.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Pat.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I'm excited. Can we start now?
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this. McJingy with two injuries
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to wide receivers, Roman Wilson. And with Roman Wilson being down,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: You'd expect Ben Skronic to get some extra snaps on offense.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Now he's out as well. What do you think the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Steelers do going into Tampa Bay? Do they look around
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the NFL free agency trade-wise? Do they dig into the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: practice squad? What do you think?
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: They got a wide receiver right in their back pocket.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that you brought this up. Do you know
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: what his name is?
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Is it the Lebo Boyer?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: It's the Swiffer. It's the Swiffer. It's the Swiffer. It's
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: time to see what he's got, Matt. And he's going
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: to earn, he's going to earn his opportunity right now. Sure.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: If he goes out there and has three catches for
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: 40 yards, I'd say that's enough.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I mean that far down the depth chart, I'd say
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: that's enough. I don't think they need to look around
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the rest of the league right now. Especially it being,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: you know, when you're listening to this Wednesday and the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: game on Sunday. So, We'll see, though, potentially before the
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Paris game or after the Paris game, depending on the health. But, yeah,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, they have Brandon Smith as well. They have
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: our boy Max Herleman. They could look to from the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: practice squad. Never had an NFL snap, but we've seen
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: him be the preseason and training camp darling.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: No, and Mike McCarthy was asked about Brandon Smith and
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Swiffer Wetjet today. And he said, yeah, both of those guys,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: he kind of gave a political answer when he was
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: asked both of those guys, you know, both of those
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: guys have earned it. I have faith in those guys.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: You know, we'll see as the week goes on.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Very Tomlin-esque answer. Although these, these McCarthy Mondays, I'm
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: starting to like Pat. Have you been watching? Yeah. I,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Much more boring than the Tomlin ones.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a day earlier, and I don't think
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: McCarthy does this in general, but we don't get a
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: lot of injury updates, at least not like Mike Tomlin.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin would come to the podium after games and
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: address injuries, and he was a lot clearer, I felt like,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: with addressing injuries than Mike McCarthy.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd rather take vagueness on the injuries than just,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: you know, like funny catchphrases. McCarthy's actually breaking things down
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: to reporters and the reporters in turn are now asking
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: good questions.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: He said the Steelers had to read up their house.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Do you hear that?
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: He's right.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: He said we cleaned or as we say in Pittsburgh,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: we read up our house.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: He's right. He's right. I didn't even notice that. Maybe
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: that's just my subconscious kicking in, liking this guy. I'm
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: just excited, man. That offense looked so good this week.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: We haven't seen anything like that in a long time.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: All across the board, play calling was good. Blocking was good.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: We ran the ball efficiently. It was play calling, especially,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: really good, I thought, Pat.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's 30-plus points in back-to-back home games, McGingey. Uh,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: so you love to, you love.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: To see the last time that happens.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I had the stat, but I didn't write that one down. Unfortunately,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I think it was fleeting stat 28. I'm not, I
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: can't even guess. I I'm disappointed in myself. I knew
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the answer to that and I I'm blanking, but, uh, yeah,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: 30 points against, uh, the Bengals. And then obviously we
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: went out there against the Colts, put up 34 points and,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Like you said, I thought the play calling was good.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: It was just this offense finally has an identity. It
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: took five weeks, and we saw some glimpses in some
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: games here or there, but they started putting the ball
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: in the hands of their playmakers, McGinji. Let's get into
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: some Pat stats. I dedicated a whole mini section of
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Pat stats to Jalen Ward.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: 187 total yards.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: He accounted for 53%. of all the offensive yards we
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: had on Sunday.
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: This is a stat that everyone's heard, I feel like.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: You'd have to be living under a cock to not
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: have heard this in Pittsburgh. But he's the first player
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: in the NFL since Herschel Walker in 1986 to record
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: an 80-yard touchdown reception and a 50-yard touchdown run in
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the same game. And he's one of the few Steelers
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: running backs to do that in a season As well,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I think you have to go back to James Conner
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to get the last time there was an 80-yard touchdown
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: in a running or reception and a 50-yard touchdown in
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: the run from the same player in the same season.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: So doing some really cool stuff.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: I got a Jalen Warren side stat for you. Let
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: me know whenever you're ready.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: His 187 all-purpose yards mark his third consecutive week of
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: at least 125 all-purpose yards. No Steelers player had done
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: that in three straight weeks since James Connor in 2018.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Wow. That James Connor guy must've been pretty good.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: He, I was watching, was it the Colts Packers? I
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: was watching an old Steeler game from 2018 and James,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: it was the emergence of James Connor. And yeah, it was,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: he had a hell of, I mean, he had a,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: he's had a good career, but once that Lev Bell
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: holdout year, man, he really stepped up.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: What could have been, In Warren's five-year career, he has
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: played more than 60% of offensive snaps only nine times
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: in 69 career games.
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: That number needs to go up.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it will. And it should have been up this
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: whole time. I mean, we've had him for the past
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: five years, and this is the first time I feel
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: like he's actually being utilized to how he should be utilized.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Greenware, you got another?
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: What's your Jalen Warren stat?
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: 8.3 yards per attempt versus a stacked box.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Is that pro football reference?
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know where I got that stat, Pat.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they do some good work over there. I think
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: that's where it was.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: 8.3 yards per attempt versus a stacked box.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Let's see if I can quickly find Jalen Warren's yards
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: per After contact.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: He's got the highest yak in the league.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: 291.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: And the next player is at like 208, I think.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: He's doing amazing alien things.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: 79 yards after contact. Just against the Colts on Sunday.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Insane.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Well. Let's get into some team-related Pat stats. Mick Gingy.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Two and two in the red zone. I want to
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: keep it simple with this one. Two and two on
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: offense in the red zone. Two trips, two touchdowns. Really,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: really struggled this year to get anything going in the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: red zone. And just to, you know, get back on
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: track going two for two was something I was really
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: happy to see.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Great stats.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Steelers are averaging 28 points per game at home now, McGingey.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: And they're three and undefeated and undefeated at home. That's
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: because we're fucking bringing it this year, Pat.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: This is something I wanted to have a quick little
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: chat about the defense, too. I mean, they did what
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: they had to do. McGingey, we won the game. We
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: both gave it a B, right? Steelers had one sack
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: for one yard and zero turnovers. The last time the
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Steelers had one or less sacks and no turnovers was
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: week eight last year against the Packers, and they lost 35-25. Wow.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to complain because the defense did enough,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: but this has been a trend now. We're five weeks in,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: and we're just not getting turnovers like we did in
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: a Terrell Austin scheme.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: They're playing that very soft– coverage as well. And did
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: you see this week that Patrick Graham moved down onto
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: the field?
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a Mike McCarthy decision, actually. Mike McCarthy said,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: get the fuck down here.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: The way McCarthy explained it, he said, play calling is
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: easier from the booth, but the player communication is more
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: valuable than the play calling, which is something we never
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: would have heard from Tom. Tom would have said, I
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: like my forks on the left side, my spoons on
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: the right. Sometimes you can have the spoon on the
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: left and the fork on the right.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, an eagle likes to hunt from above,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: but he got to sink his towels into a fish
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: on the water.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They're playing that soft zone and it's not something
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: we've seen out of the Steelers ever in the Mike
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Tomlin era, really. And I'm wondering Pat, if that's because
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: of the personnel that they have, you know, being depleted
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: in the secondary, you know, no Dean, obviously no JPJ
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: going into the season. Jalen Ramsey's got a broken wrist.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: No Deshaun Elliott, you know, their secondary is very depleted.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: So maybe they don't trust them enough in order to
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: play some pressure, but I don't know. I'd like to
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: see the Steelers get some sacks. I think that's the
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: one thing that I'm a little concerned about right now
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: is the lack of pressure and a good team like Pat, like,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: the chiefs are going to carve that defense up.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And the lack of pressure has been my most
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: frustrating point with Pat Graham. Something that I will say though,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: compliment to him is that we saw the same defense
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: pretty much every game under Terrell Austin. And, you know,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: you could say even post Dick LeBeau, Mike Tomlin, right?
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just, it didn't seem like they were
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: adjusting enough weekend and week out matchup to matchup every
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: single game. It was, You know, bend, don't break. We
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: got to get two, three turnovers. It doesn't matter how
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: many yards we give up. We just got to hold
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: them tight in the red zone. That was like a
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: cookie cutter. Every single opponent, every single offensive scheme. But
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: we've seen Patrick Graham week in and week out so far.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: And this is what we expected to see from a
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: guy like him who really didn't have any calling cards.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Learned under Bill Belichick, talked about Bill Belichick's emphasis on
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: matchup to matchup. And that's something that, uh, to his credit,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Pat Graham has, has been doing so far this year.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: It's definitely more creative, more innovative while at the same
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: time being just as conservative, if that's fair to say.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Sure. So we'll see where it ends up at the
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: end of the year. This certainly doesn't look like statistically
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: a top five defense, uh, at this point, maybe even
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: a borderline top 10 defense, excuse me, but, uh, If
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: we're winning football games and you look at it from
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: a micro perspective instead of a macro perspective of the
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: whole season, you look at it game to game, we'll
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: analyze it that way going forward, McChinchy.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, would you give him a B?
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I gave him a B as well.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: A B is a good passing grade.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think there are a couple stats, Pat,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: I'll bring up in the defense of this defense. Third downs,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: they're 7th. And red zone touchdown rate, they're sixth. So
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: they are not breaking. They are playing soft, but they're
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: getting third down stops and they're getting stops in the
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: red zone.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: And they've been, I'm trying to think back to every game,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: but they've been good against the run. I mean, even
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Bijon didn't, you know, win them the game, right? He
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: didn't blow that game open. So pretty stout against the
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: run overall, I'd say, especially without, you know, Derek Harmon
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and getting some new bodies in there. We saw Gabe Rubio.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: He played really well. We saw them get creative with
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: how they deployed, you know, Cam and, and, and Benton
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: and YA black. I thought he played a pretty solid
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: game as well.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: They all, the big boys play all played solid and
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: the lost and soft brothers weren't ruining anything.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: There was a snap where Pam Hayward was lined up
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: as like a defensive end. And Nick Herbig was, lined
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: up over the a gap. And I was like, what
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the hell? I mean, it ended up.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: A couple of third downs where TJ was on the
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: other side.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: It was, it felt like it was quite a bit. Yeah.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought on a couple of third downs and if,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: if you're Daniel Jones and TJ flip size, so even,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: even knowing that he's not as successful over there, your
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: mind is going to be thinking about that.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: The blind side. Yep.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Either way. I think it's, it's just not a look
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: you're used to. and at least some of your attention
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: is drawn and even if TJ doesn't get beat he's
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: altering the play in some way that's the type of
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: thing he does.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Sure sure and something that I think Pat Graham needs
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: to improve upon and just switch up a little bit
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: shake up and we've been talking about this very broadly
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: but not as specific as we would probably need to
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: just dialing up pressures right I He hasn't been blitzing much.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I think he's just a little overconfident that the front
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: four can get some pressure right with our linebackers and
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: defensive tackles. So we really haven't seen it when he's
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: rushing for a whole lot of pressure and getting home
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: to the quarterback. I don't think this week against this
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: upcoming week against the Buccaneers is necessarily the right time
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: either to dial up your blitz percentage. We can talk
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: about that towards the end of the episode, but That's
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: something moving forward. They're going to have to get more
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's move into some studs, Pat. You want to
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: give us the first one?
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this one, we'll see how you feel about this,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: but I wanted to include it. DK Metcalf.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I left this game enjoying DK's company on this team.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: That's a good way to put it. Yeah.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: I just remember having a thought like, I don't care
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: what his– Stat line was, you know, where it looks
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: like in the box score. I was happy he was
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: a stealer this week.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Exactly. No, exactly. Box. His stats were not great. I
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: think he had, what, three catches for like 13 yards.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Let me get his exact.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: That's three catches for 12 yards. Almost, Matt.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: OK, you got it. Perfect. Three catches, 12 yards. But
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: that Jalen Warren run, it would not have been a touchdown.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: if DK didn't have two great blocks near the sideline there.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: And he was just– he was playing aggressive, right? He's
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: not bitching about not getting touches. He's being a great–
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: he's just one of the best blocking and one of
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: the best effort wide receivers in the National Football League.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: And what a contrast to what we've had the past
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: few seasons.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, what a contrast we've had out of DK
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: at times as well. I mean, we can play devil's
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: advocate a little bit here. But I– I'm liking this
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: team in general, Pat. I think there's a lot. I
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: think the team's going to come together. I think there's
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys with attitude that have that heart,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: have that drive. We just need to see it be
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: more consistent.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Who's your stud? Aaron Rodgers.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: Rodgers.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, Rodgers.
• 36:21
  Speaker 11: Rodgers stat line, 22-31, 235 and three touchdowns.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: The yard's not there. Obviously, 80 of them coming off
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: that big Jalen Warren run. But Rodgers in the last
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: three games now, nine touchdowns, three interceptions, and two of
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: those interceptions were drops by the wide receiver and one
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: was a Hail Mary. So realistically, none of them are
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: at fault or in bad positions there. That's the first
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: time he's had three touchdowns, three games in a row
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: since his MVP season in 2021. Hell yeah. Is that
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: the Rodgers we're getting this year, Pat?
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: My bold prediction, over 4,000 passing yards from Aaron Rodgers.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: He's on pace for 4,200 yards, 34 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think those interceptions are all going to be there.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: No. I only really consider one of them his fault
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: or a bad throw. It was that one against the
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Browns where he just airmailed it. But His arm got hit. Yeah,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: and his arm got hit. But still, that was not
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: a great decision to throw that ball there. You have
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: a Hail Mary pass or at least a deep pass.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I think you had two of those. One was at
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: the end of a half. You had that Roman Wilson
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: hit off the hands.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: And then you had the Jeremy Bernard drop.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that. I don't remember the one again.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: It was on a screen.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember. But Rodgers, not a big interception
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: thrower in general. So you're right. Yeah, I don't see 13.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I could see 34 and 10, 34 and 9 with 4,000 yards.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: They're definitely throwing the ball in the red zone, too.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: It would be funny if Aaron Rodgers had another 4,000-yard
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: season before the Chicago Bears have had one in franchise history.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they probably won't get one this year with
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Caleb being hurt.
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I wonder what the Steelers' pass percentage in the red
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: zone is this year, because I feel like it's high.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Is that me?
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking right now. I mean, their pass percentage in
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: general has been very high this year. They've also done
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of, and I don't have any data, but
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like they've done a lot of screens and
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: and kind of short passes too, as opposed to runs
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: in the red zone. That might be what you and
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I are thinking of.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking of.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Either way, give us the next stud.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: This person, this stud, not person, this stud, he almost
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: didn't make the list, but I couldn't keep him off
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Jeremy Bernard. I was hesitant to give him all the
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: flowers in the world. Cause he did drop that one
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: pass over the middle. on that free play that, you know,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: it was just not a good drop, but all in
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: all for the rookie looked pretty solid out there. I'm
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: not concerned about his hands long-term make Gingy still believe
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: that he's going to be a solid receiver. So shout
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: out to his first big, kind of coming out game.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Let's get his final stat line here.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Six catches, 80 yards.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Six for 80. And he was just dependable, like dependably open.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Couple long ones.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Couple long ones. They threw the, you know, put the
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: ball in his hands on a screen pass. He picked
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: up five or six.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: The big thing I liked about Jerm is that even
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: his mistake, that drop he had in the middle of
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: the field, it was on that offsides play. He ran
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: to the right spot. after, you know, him and Rogers
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: both recognizing being on the same page, Rogers hit that
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: spot and just a drop. It wasn't a mental mistake.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: It was a, you know, a physical one. You can
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: take that.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: And you know what I love? I feel like this
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: gets overlooked a lot, especially when we're talking about rookies.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: He made that mistake. He had that drop and it
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: didn't affect him at all. Like he got right back up,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: continued playing and earned himself a, tarps off stud designation
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: after that.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Here's a stat for you, Pat. Jeremy Bernard, 13 receptions
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: for 140 yards. Makai Lemon, 15 receptions for 108. Yeah,
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: hell yeah. That's your boy.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: And Jerm too. He's been, obviously he's a very willing
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: and capable blocker as well.
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: And he wears the guardian cap. He's protecting his brain.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Makai Lemon's brain is just gone. He already can't really
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: speak that well.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Jerem is, he's a follower of Christ as well.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: In Jesus.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Why don't you give us a start? What are
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: you going to say, dude? Did you chime in?
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: I just said, amen. Oh, okay.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about Pat Friermuth. Two touchdowns again.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: And I want to give a big shout out to Simon,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: our caller. He places a Pat Friermuth two touchdown bet.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Calls it the gun bet. And when it hits, he
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: buys me a gun. So I got a nice new
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: pistol coming. Wanted to put a shout out to Simon
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: for making it happen. And maybe we get another gun
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: bet in the future.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah. And shout out to Muth looking a lot
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: better blocking this year. Better than he ever has. I
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: can only recall two times this year that I've been
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: frustrated about Muth's blocking. And that was what game was that?
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: I think that was the Patriots game. where I remember
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: making it up on the podcast, they had Darnell on
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: the right side and Muth on the left, and they
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: started the game with two outside runs to the left side,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: and Muth kind of got blown up. But apart from that,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: he's been hitting his blocks this year. That was something
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: he's always struggled with, and I've seen so much improvement
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: in this game was, apart from his two touchdowns, really
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: a catalyst for some good things ahead from him, McGingey.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying there's not a tight end room you'd
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: take because one or two great players, but is this
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the best one-two tight end punch in the NFL right now?
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: It's one of the most expensive. You're paying both of
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: these guys $ 10 million.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: It's a very squirrel-hole way to look at it, McGingy.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: No, I like Muth. Here's a thought, Pat. Darnell Washington
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: catches another few balls. He did not get brought to
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: the ground. They blew the whistle a couple times. I
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: want to know how many times he actually gets tackled.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Not he goes out of bounds. Not they blow the
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: whistle because there's four or five guys grabbing him on
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: each leg. I want to know how many times he's
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: been brought to the ground. Not that many.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Not that many.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: He was tackled on that long one. Was that against
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: the Falcons?
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: Week one?
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: I think he was tackled as well in this game once, too.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Because I remember he said that in the stands. I'll
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: have to go back and look.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: I rewatched the whole game today. He didn't get tackled.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: There were four or five dudes on him, wrapping him up.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: They blew the whistle.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: How many receptions did he have this game? Two. Okay.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: All right. We'll have to check the other one. We'll
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: have to check the tape. We'll have to check the tape.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Check the all 22. Look up Darnell Washington. You know,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: we'll be good. Why don't you give us the horse dick, Pat?
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I have some shout outs to on the D line.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: I thought played pretty well. I'm just going to give
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: it to the D line across the board. We didn't
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: have any individual standout performance, but when you hold one
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: of the best running backs in the league to 45
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: yards and you look good doing it, you're plugging gaps.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: You get, You get rookies, rookie six-rounders who even the
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: best analysts in the world didn't have on their sheet
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: at all come the draft. That's the reason to be excited, McGinsey.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: So shout out to D-line. Maybe an honorable mention to
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: the O-line as well, potentially. We'll get into that in
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: a second. But the horse dick, it couldn't be anyone else, McGinsey.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: It couldn't be anyone else.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: It's Jalen Ward.
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: Eight and a half inch dick. You mean like a
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: horsey boner?
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: How's that for a nay, you fucking cold fucks?
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Seth DeFlo, you piece of shit.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: You're lucky.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: You're lucky. You're lucky the Etsy witch wasn't contacted this week, buddy.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Your life would have been over.
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he did call it. You know, Warren's land.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Best game of Warren's career. Shout out Seth DeFlo.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: What an idiot. What an idiot, dude. He's already getting
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: hate in the comments, deservedly so.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Why don't we brush past that? Because we talked about
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Jalen Warden quite a bit already. Any stiffs you want
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: to address?
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes. The return team is just not getting it done,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: both on coverage and in the return, in protection. It's
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: just terrible, Pat. And I got some bad stats here.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: I got some bad stats here, Pat. Swiffer wet jet
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: 42nd out of 44 in qualified kick returners and 16th
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: out of 20 in punt returning. Not looking good. His
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: vision's not there. At the same time, it's not all
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: on him. The coverage and the protection's been terrible, but
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: we need to see more.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: This special teams in general sucks, McGinchey. It's poorly coached.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: The players are not playing well. Ben Skronick's the only
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: one who I think has been having a good year
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: on the special teams, and now he's hurt. Do you
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: have any other special team stats before I start spewing some?
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, and I think this is a good time to
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: kick it to everyone's favorite segment, Things to Watch from
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Aircraft's Eye in the Sky.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Flight attendants, prepare for takeoff, please.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: He kept it short and sweet this week. Just sent
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: a tweet from Alex Kizora. Pittsburgh, by the way, officially
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: fell to 32nd in the NFL in kick return average
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: after last night, 22.7 yards on the season.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a fourth round pick and I'm not blaming
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: it all on him and his season. Listen, you and
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I both know he could return one kick in the
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: next two games and it could be a completely different story, right?
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's, He is a home run hitter.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: So why don't we have some faith, Pat? So why
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: don't we have some faith?
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the special teams as a whole. We
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: got a penalty on how we lined up on a punt, McChinchy.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: We're not getting blocks. Legion's not seeing the holes. This
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: is the worst special teams unit in the entire NFL
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: right now, outside of actually our punter, Bill Burr, who's
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: having a great season. You know, even Boswell has been
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: sketchy this year.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I listened to Danny Crossman on Mike McCarthy Monday.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Fuck, he sucks.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: He's a little goofy.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he is. He's a fucking weirdo. He's a little goofy.
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: He's a freak.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he sucks. Like, that's a little harsh.
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: He sucks.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: He's just a little goofy, Pat. Oh, we get to
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: watch Danny Smith. What don't you like about him? We
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: get to watch Danny Smith on the sideline in Tampa.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: A couple familiar faces. A couple familiar faces.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: A couple familiar faces.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: A couple familiar faces.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: A couple familiar faces.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: A couple familiar faces.
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: A couple familiar faces.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: A couple familiar faces.
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: A couple familiar faces. A couple familiar faces.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: A couple familiar faces.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: A couple familiar faces. A couple familiar faces. A couple
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: familiar faces. A couple familiar faces.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: A couple familiar faces.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: A couple familiar faces.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: A couple familiar faces.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: A couple familiar faces.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: A couple familiar faces.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: A couple familiar faces. A couple familiar faces. A couple
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: familiar faces.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: A couple Yeah, a couple of familiar faces out there.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: Why don't you give us the next diff?
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Brock Hoffman. Brock Hoffman, he did not have a good game.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: I thought the offensive line as a whole played very well.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: There were some communication issues. You saw that play with Brock.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Was it Brock Hoffman? Yes, Brock Hoffman and Zach Frazier.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Just lack of communication. I don't know who it was on.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: It seemed like it was probably on the guard, but
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: that was that play, that touchdown actually. where Aaron Rodgers
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: got blown up, defender ran in completely untouched, ended up
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: working out. But you can't have the most sacked quarterback
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: in NFL history take hits like that. He's also on
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: pace to be the most hit quarterback in the entire
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: NFL this year right now. Just another kind of side
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: pat stat. And I thought a lot of that was
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: on Brock Hoffman this week.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Brock did have a big holding call.
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: For the game yeah jaylen warren uh 11 yard run
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: that that killed that drive forced a three and out
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: so yeah not a great game i do like him
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: in that position though yeah for sure and the offensive
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: line has it's night and day they had a good
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: week good good good week that defense that colts defense
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: is pretty pitiful So I think like, like, like what
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: did this game mean for you, Pat?
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: The offense for me, it was.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Like, let me just give you an example of what
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: I mean. Like for me, it didn't really change my
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: opinions on this team. It was kind of a step
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: in the right direction and we did what we needed
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, if, if we could bring this on
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: the road to the box, cause at home we've been phenomenal.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: We've had, one of the best offenses in the league
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: while at home. And it's been quite the opposite on
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: the road. We've looked horrible on the road. Despite what
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: some of the stats may be, we kind of had–
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Steelers had a pretty redeeming fourth quarter against the Browns,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: I'd say, but just looked horrible on the road. So
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: they found their identity. They've done what we've been begging
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: them to do for the past two, three years now, McChinchy.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Put the ball in your playmaker's hands. Jalen Warren, Darnell.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Unlock Pat Friermuth, right? I mean, that's put the ball
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: in your playmaker's hands. They've been running to set up
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: or passing to set up the run. So if they
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: can bring this into Tampa Bay, which, I mean, their
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: defense is all right, right? They've got a few good players.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: They got Vito Vea. They got a few solid players there.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: I'd feel really good.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: I don't agree more. And the last stiff, this guy,
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: you know, Not really putting him as a stiff here
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: for his performance as a stealer because he got hurt.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: But more as a performance on my fantasy team. I
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: picked this guy up. I starred him against the Cumbuckets,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: against Jim Broney and Pat this week, their co-team. And
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: he lays a big old goose egg. So in order
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: for that, I got to do a smearing off ice.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: You got video? Put your video up.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got video up. I got video up.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: For those of you who don't know how the sausage
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: is made, we record– And we just usually do audio.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: We don't put the video on for network purposes. Cheers.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: This one's going down the gut.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're recording a video. I hear it. You guys
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: hear that?
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Gross. This one's the orange cream pop.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: I thought you liked those.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: I did the other day. I didn't really like it today.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: That was not a hit.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: That was not a hit. Yeah, I don't know. I
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: might be cutting Roman Wilson. I'd give him a chance.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: I'd give him a chance, Pat. All you can do
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: is just give people chances.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Well, he's going to be out for a little bit.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: What did they say?
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: It was his finger?
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Dislocated finger. She'll be out a couple weeks.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Okay. You know, I also have another ice here, Pat.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: And this one is a new type of ice. I'm
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: going to officially, for the first time in league history,
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: declare a rival instead of my league-appointed one. And I
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: am going to have a rivalry, if not two-way, at
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: least one way from my side. With the cum buckets.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: I have taken the cum buckets head on. And this
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Smirnoff Ice goes to my loss to the cum buckets
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: this week. And to atone for the loss.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: The Squirt Herd versus the cum buckets. Newest rivalry has
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: formed in the ACFL. Oh, yeah. I hear him slurping
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: that down. How's it taste, huh? Does it taste like
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: drinking gum from a bucket?
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost too gummy.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, fuck.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Almost too gummy, Pat. Almost too gummy. Ready?
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Wow, that sounded like my... Sounded like Pat's effects for the...
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: That was a perfect soundbite.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Someone said that to me this week at the tailgate.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: I cracked a beer and someone said, That sounded just
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: like Pat's pump up.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: You're getting people excited a little early here. Why don't
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: you talk about your Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragons performance?
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Crouching Tiger. Jonathan Taylor stifled him. 14 carries, 45 yards,
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: zero touchdowns.
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: That's the orange cream soda fighting back. Hidden Dragon, Tyler Warren.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: He had quite a game. That rushing touchdown from one
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: yard out and seven catches, 83 yards. He was their
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: leading receiver. I'd say both had good games. Tyler Warren
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: had a good game.
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: Jalen Warren.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. These ices are fighting me already, Pat.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, not a great game. Tyler Warren, a good game.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: I was impressed, too. We didn't mention this, but the
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: red zone defense and the goal line defense for the
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers really stout in this one.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: Incredible. I placed a, we were there with our cousin.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: I placed a parlay for him for his birthday and
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: we split it. And it had Jonathan Taylor touchdown in it.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: And that goal line, he just turned 21. That goal
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: line stop, you know, they stopped Taylor like three times
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: in a row and he's sitting next to me, like
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: kind of rooting for Taylor to score. And I had to,
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: veteran move, wise them up a little bit. I said, Hey,
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: like we do not root for our bets over the
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers. If it happens, it happens, but we, we
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: are not rooting for the Colts to score right now.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: I had to teach the young in a little bit.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Well, anything else in this game, Pat?
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: That's all I had to say. I think we covered it.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: Well, let's kick it to commercial. When we come back
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: after the station identification, we'll have the Buccaneers preview for you.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Stay tuned.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Beer. Cigarettes. Football.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: High fructose corn syrup.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Big trucks.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: Firework shows.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Heavy machinery. Big game hunting. Farmer's tans.
• 56:11
  Speaker 12: First responders.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Cuban cigars.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: High cholesterol.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: More beer.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: $ 10 blackjack hands.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: 50 cent wings.
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: Truck nuts.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: And tarps off radio.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Here we go. You sexy, sexy fucks. Thank you for listening.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Thanks for sticking through that commercial. Why don't we get
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: into the Bucs preview? Steelers, three-point favorites on the road,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: 1 p.m. Sunday, Raymond James Stadium, over-under, set at 40.5.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: It's going to be some cool Florida fall weather, a
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: little chance of rain here. McGingy, interested to hear, why
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: do we hate the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: Well, Pat, in my hate breakings, Of the five tiers,
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: I have the Buccaneers in tier four. And they're actually
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: listed on there twice. They got one listing for Brady
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: and one for Baker. And I shouldn't really have to
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: explain more for that. I mean, if a team hires
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: Tom Brady or if a team hires Baker Mayfield, that's it.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: And if you hate Baker and Brady as much as
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: I do, this team's forever unclean. And another thing, all
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: you Steeler fans that have somehow come to Enjoy Baker
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: Mayfield and love Baker Mayfield over the years. Make me sick.
• 57:30
  Speaker 12: This guy's a loser, dude. This guy was cheating on
• 57:35
  Speaker 12: his wife in parking lots. Getting car fellatio. Hell yeah, dude.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: No, no, Pat.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: Not hell yeah.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: Disgusting.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Our quarterback was a man of faith.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Family man.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: Number seven. I miss you, Ben. On to the scouting report.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: The Steelers walk into Tampa Bay against the 1-4 Tampa
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers without their recently paid quarterback, Baker Mayfield. Undrafted
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: rookie quarterback Jalen Daniels out of Kansas will be making
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: his third career and consecutive start coming off a game
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: versus the Cowboys where he was 19-25 for 189 yards
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: and one touchdown. Zero picks, 23 rushing yards, seven attempts.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: That was a quick stat line there, Pat. Their offense
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: has struggled all season, though, ranking 28th in total offense,
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: 24th in scoring, averaging 19 points per game. Former Steeler
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: Kenny Gainwell noticeably sidelined by this staff as they have
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: let Bucky Irvin be the workhorse in the backfield. Despite
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: being 28th in passing, they are 17th on the ground,
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: averaging just over 100 yards per game. This offense is
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: similar to the Colts from last week, minus the superstar
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: capabilities of Jonathan Taylor. Defensively, they are pretty stout, unlike Indianapolis.
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: Seventh in total defense, including third in rushing yards allowed
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: per game. They have a couple of former Pittsburgh Panthers
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: on this team, Pat. Kalijah Cansey and Savasier Dennis play
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: important roles on this team.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: Serviche.
• 59:15
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: Obviously still led up front by veteran Vita Vea. Veteran
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: Vita Vea as well. A lot of tongue twisters today.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: And let's not forget why the Buccaneers let go of
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Jamel Dean. Their secondary was strong. They felt confident without him.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: Antoine Winfield, although according to Doobie's injury report, might be out,
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: the veteran at safety. Corners, Benjamin Morrison out of Notre Dame,
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: second-year guy. Zion McCollum, veteran on the other side. And
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: let's not forget that they stole our elite special teams
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: coverage tandem in Danny Smith and Miles Killebrew. Fuck! All
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: in all, Pat, a tougher challenge in my eyes than
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: last week, even with the worst record and a bad quarterback.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: Buccaneers defense is strong, defense to run well, but luckily
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: this is a Sunday 1 p.m. game in good weather,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: so Rodgers should be ready.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you made me a little nervous and a little
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: skeptical opening up the episode talking about potential easy win.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: I think this team is Kind of more dangerous than
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: a 1-4 team, and it shouldn't be looked at that way.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Big Gingy, and I'll get into why in a minute here,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: but before I do, Intern Doob, why don't you walk
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: us through the injury reports for both these teams?
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, both teams got a pretty long injury list. We
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 5: got Derek Harmon and Michael Pittman both on IR, can
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 5: return week 10.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: What?
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: Yep. Week 10?
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: Yep. I think there's a week nine bye.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 5: Correct. We have a bye week.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: So four weeks and then a bye.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: Because of the bye, yeah. If we played week nine,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 5: they could come back week nine, but we have a
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: bye week, which could help. Ben Skronick, he's already been
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 5: ruled out. That calf injury suffered on Sunday against the Colts.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: A what injury? Calf.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: Cough. Damn.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 5: Yep, yep. Big Mike already ruled him out. Big Mike
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: also ruled out Roman Wilson with that dislocated finger.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 11: Who?
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: Roman Wilson.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Keep going.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: What?
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 5: He'll probably miss a couple weeks with that injured finger. Uh,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 5: Rico Daddle with the toe. Offensive coordinator, Brian, I'm not
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 5: even sure.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: Angelico? Angelico.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm like, I don't know how to say that.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: Angelico?
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Don't mind if I do.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: Well, he's optimistic that Rico returns this week, so we'll see.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: Deshaun Elliott has been designated for return. He's been limited
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: in practice the last week, so.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: What was his injury?
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 5: Oh, fuck. What was it? I forget.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: He had, I believe, a knee injury.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: A knee?
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: Well, he had a hamstring injury, but I heard from
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: Alan Saunders on Sears Afternoon Drive that apparently it was
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: a hamstring injury, but his knee was actually much worse.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: And when he went to the IR last year, Um,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: it was designated a hamstring, but he ended up getting
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: something done with his knee as well. This off season
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: that's been lingering.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: The knee is what's keeping him out.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Just looked up.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 5: Um, Jamel Dean is questionable still with that ankle, but
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 5: he did say that he wanted to return back against
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: the boxes, former team. So let's watch, you know, let's
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 5: watch the practice, uh, participation this week to see how
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 5: he does. And Ramsey's still on the report. Questionable, that wrist,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: but I'd say he's likely to play.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's give a shout out to Jalen Ramsey, too.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: He's a stud.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, one of the toughest.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's lucky to have him.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: This says a lot coming from the mouth of a
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steeler. But one of the toughest fans, Pittsburgh Steelers fans,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: one of the toughest Steelers players I've seen in my lifetime.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, really, he plays through it all. Broken fucking wrist.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: He's out there hitting motherfuckers just as hard. Just a
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: solid tackler, a hard hitter. Is he worth the money?
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: Probably not. But we'll give him his shout when his
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: shout's due.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Dude, he had a nice play on a third down
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: in the red zone. Knocked the ball loose, I believe,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: on Josh Downs. Incredible hit.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: You talking about the Tyler Warren hit?
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: Was it Tyler Warren?
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was Tyler Warren.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Tyler Warren.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 5: Josh Downs was Peyton Wilson.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: That's right. That's right. Yeah, the Tyler Warren hit. Yeah,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey's a fucking stud, dude. I would love to
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: have 22 of him.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Let's backtrack for just half a second, maybe spend a
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: minute on this, McG and G. Lost at Soft Brothers.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: What did you think of them out of the Colts?
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: I meant to bring that up.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: Did not change my opinion on them one way or
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: the other.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: I thought they had a good game, though. They played well.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: They were solid.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: Not enough to creep their way on the stud list,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: in my opinion.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Although it was done up front.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't go that far and say all the work
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: was done up front. A lot of it was. But
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Peyton Wilson also had double-digit tackles. I felt like there
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: were a couple plays. I don't remember specifics, but there
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: were a couple plays. I was like, what the fuck, Peyton?
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: But overall, I mean, just consistent game. This is the
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: problem with them, dude, is they'll play like one of
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: the worst games you've ever seen, a game that looks
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: like they just joined the fucking team last week, and
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: then they'll go out the very next week and look
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: pretty solid. This upcoming week, they'll probably look pretty solid,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: you know, yada, yada. But I'm never putting it out
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: of my mind that they could have an absolute fucking
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: stinker of the game at any point this year.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 5: Agreed.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: Anyways, sorry. Why don't we get into the Bucs injuries?
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was going to say, let's move on. Austin's
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: favorite guy, Baker, will not be on the field with
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 5: that thumb injury. He will be out with that thumb injury.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: Sitting on it, huh?
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: Do you guys remember that injury when Todd Bowles was
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: laughing at Baker's high-pitched scream? Do you remember that?
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: Baker got hurt, and they cut to Todd Bowles, and
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: he has a half smile. And they asked him after
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: the game, like, why are you laughing? And he's like,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: I heard this really high-pitched scream, and it.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: Made me laugh.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: I think Todd Bowles was on his way out.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: For sure. He looks pretty checked out.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 5: If we go down to Tampa Bay and we blow
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: their doors off, he might get fired.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. I think it's a Steelers can't
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: lose game. Anyways, Dubie, finish your report here.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. Baker out. And Antoine Winfield also going to
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 5: be out. He has a couple broken ribs. He's going
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 5: to be out a couple weeks, probably up to four weeks.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 13: Damn.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: Good for us, though. Broken ribs.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: What a softie, dude. You ever broken ribs, dude?
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: You ever broken ribs, Pat?
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: I actually had two of my ribs removed, but I
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: was under anesthesia, so I didn't feel anything.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: What a softie, dude. Broken ribs. You should be able
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: to play.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know how many are broken. It
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 5: doesn't really say, but who knows how bad it is,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 5: but we'll take it.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a pussy. Anyways, who else?
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 5: Jalen McMillan.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: Bucket.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: But you got him.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, he was a bucket, wasn't he?
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you drafted him, didn't you?
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: I thought that was my other league.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: This is the guy I get beat by, dude. The
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: guy who says, oh, that is my other league. This
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: is why you're my rival now, Pat.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: Okay. Whatever makes you happy.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: All right, well, moving on. Benjamin Morris also... is going
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 5: to be questionable along with our guy from Pitt, Sarah Vossier,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: Dennis with an ankle injury, neither practice last week, but
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 5: they did have the short week with the Thursday game.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: So we'll have to watch their participation this week to
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 5: see if they are able to go.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: I think this is a can't lose game, Pat. If
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: we need to take this, this team seriously this year,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: This is a can't-lose game. It's not a must-win, but
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: it's a can't-lose.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: I have a– I know it's not time for this yet,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: but my– if I were to make a hidden dragon pick,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: I think Jalen Daniels' legs is a concern of mine.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: And let's get into– I mean, real quick, that's one
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: of my keys to victory while we're already talking about
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: it here. You got to limit Jalen Daniels' legs. Not
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: the best throw of the football, turnover prone. Did you
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: watch– We played with football on Thursday, right? So the
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: three of us missed Thursday night football, Buccaneers, Cowboys. I
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: went back and watched the game yesterday, just the expedited
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: 40-minute game on NFL Network. Did you get a chance
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: to look at that game at all?
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Not the best stat line on paper from Jalen Daniels,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: but he picked up. Two first downs specifically on the
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: ground on plays that should have been, you know... easy
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: uh easy punts on fourth down uh 13 rushes in
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: his two starts on the Buccaneers McGingy so he's someone
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: that if it's third and four third and five and
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: you've got everybody locked up he can break it pick
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: up six seven eight yards McGingy so that's a concern
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: of mine I don't know. Do you, do you mess around,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: put a spy on them or, or rush forward?
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: Do you blitz?
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: What would you do if you were at Graham?
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: I am not concerned about him really at all. I
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: think just do the same thing you've been doing, play
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: the soft coverage, you know, then don't break and then
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: score against their defense. Keep it simple.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Go with the kiss method.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Keep it simple. Stupid. I think that this game
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: is a lot like, You know, Jalen Daniels, like you said,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: not an elite running attack, but he's going to run.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: He had seven carries last week, eight carries the week
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: before in his first two career starts. So he's going
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: to get out and move. Pat, I think the real
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: concern here, and I'll get into Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: a little bit later, but they can't let up the
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: explosive play. That's pretty much it. Whether that comes from
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: the ground, whether it comes through the air, just keep
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: everything in front of you. And I think we're going
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: to see that type of defense again this week.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: Well, let's say like this big Gigi, Ben don't break, right?
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you let up the explosive play, they've
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: got receivers all across the board that are explosive play capable.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: Godwin's getting a little older, but he's still a solid receiver.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: Obviously they have at Buka, even Tez, what Tez Johnson
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: is capable of some explosive plays there. So, if they
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: do give up the 40, 50 yard bomb, get down
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: in the red zone on defense, you know, three points,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: zero points, not seven points.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, Pat, what does a loss
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: this week mean to you?
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: What do you mean by that?
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: Like I just asked you a little bit earlier, what
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: did that Colts win mean to you?
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: You mean for the whole team and the season perspective? Well,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: it depends how they lose, right? I mean, if they get,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: If they get absolutely picked apart on defense.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: Does it depend how they lose?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: If they lose 42-40 and the offense looks great and
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: the defense gets torched, that's a lot different than, you know,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: if they lose 17-3 and the offense can't move the
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: ball down the field.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: Is it really different though?
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: No, it is.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: Okay. What does that mean to you?
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know how else to answer that question. If
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: we were going to get beat, It would be from
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: getting torched in the run game, both from the quarterback
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: and the running back position.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: Giving up a lot of third downs. And I'd say
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: on offense, not converting on our third downs and not
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: playing good ball in the red zone.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: Bingo.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 5: Bingo.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: That's exactly where I was going with that, Pat.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: And now let me ask you this on the flip side.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: Does a monster, does a monster win? Let's say we
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: win 42 to seven. does a monster win move the
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: needle for you against a team like this?
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Cause I assume that would mean we'd be
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: getting a lot of turnovers, which is something we haven't
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: seen probably pressuring the quarterback. So that would mean that
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: my defensive concerns would be answered. And obviously if we
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: put up over 40 points, that would make me feel
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: so much better about the offense moving forward, especially on
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: the road where they've struggled.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think this is the same thing
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: as last week where it's a, we need to take
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: care of business. You know, to me, we just need
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: to win. We need to go one or no and
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: move on. I don't think I'm really looking for anything
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: in particular. Their defense is good, but as long as
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: we're not giving up, you know, 20 plus points to
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: this offense, I'm going to have the same opinion that
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: I do this week as I probably will the next week.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: Sure. And feed off of that.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: Don't really. Don't really respect this other team's offense.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys don't have a good defense, right? They haven't
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: in quite some time. But they didn't play the Cowboys
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: like a 1-14 is all I'll say.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: No, they didn't. That's a good point.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: Anyway, on top of that, don't get down early, McG.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: Don't let this team just run the ball down your throats.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: up two scores in the second or third quarter. You
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: got to avoid that. So offense has to come out firing.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: Of the first three drives, you're probably going to want
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: 10 points on the board at least, right? And don't
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: get down early because they can end the game with Bucky.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: Is that a key to victory, Pat?
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: That's a key to victory.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's one key. I didn't know we were starting.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mixed one in there too. Keep an eye
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: on Jalen Daniels' legs.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: Okay. Okay, gotcha, gotcha. Sorry, man, I'm underwater.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: That's okay. Yep, and my last key, it might as
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: well be a key every single fucking week, like it
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: has been ever since we started this podcast, but feed
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: your playmakers. Go out of your way to scheme some
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: fucking snacks and let your playmakers eat McGingy. I'm talking
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: roast beef and gravy, side of potatoes, even those little
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: frozen peas that you microwave.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: So Warren, Muth, Darnell, DK, move the ball around outside
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: of that. But I want to see Jalen Warren have
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: at least 70% of the snaps.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: He's got to have 20 touches. Yeah. 20 touches each
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: of the last three weeks. He's got to have 20 touches, Pat.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think anything should change about this offense. I
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: think you work in Dowdle a little bit. when Jalen
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: Warren gets a little gassed, you know, maybe after a
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: big play here or there, but Jalen's got to be
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: the future back. You're right. That's a great, that's a
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: great key.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: And Muth and Darnell as well, which they have been.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, these past couple of games, both, both tight
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: ends have been playing very well.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: Onto my crouching tiger, hidden dragon, crouching tiger. I'm going
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: bucks defense. This bucks defense is solid. I could see
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: them giving Steelers, you know, fits. And then I kind
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: of have a tandem here, Pat. Hidden Dragon, Steelers on
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: third downs. I know I'm going a little funky here.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: I didn't really see player-wise, you know, who could affect it.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: But the Buccaneers on third down defensively, Pat, there's six
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: in the NFL, 32% allowed. They're not going to pressure you, though,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: which is a good thing for the Steelers. They're like 25th, 26th.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: I don't have this stat in front of me in sacks.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: So they're not going to pressure us, but their defense
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: is stout. They're a good tackling team. I really think
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: that this defense could cause some frustration for us. That's
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: the only way that the Bucs are going to win,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: is if their defense absolutely disrupts what we have going on.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: cause a few turnovers, play feisty, things like that.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Good call.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: You got a prediction? Yeah, I do.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: I predicted, where's it at? 32 to 27 Steelers. Wow.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: I got 27, 10. I think it's a route.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: So you're more bullish on our defense in their shitty
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: offense than Yes. And our offensive outlook is pretty similar.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: One thing I didn't bring up about the Colts game, Pat,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: that I think we probably should have stressed was that
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: that was a game of field position, and we were
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: terrible in that category. We need to control field position
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: this game. And if we control field position, they won't
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: score more than 10 points.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: And going further, we have a solid punter. It's just
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: about not taking stupid penalties and tackling on kickoffs.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, better coverage. And also that, you know, we need
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: to pick up a first down or two on offense.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. McGingey's hot lead. We had a win last week.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: You know, I couldn't decide on a lock that I
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: said I was going to give you guys one on
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: Friday on Twitter. I couldn't decide. I just didn't want
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: to give you a loser that I wasn't absolutely confident in.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: Did you forget?
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: No. No.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't have anything that I loved that I wanted
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: to tweet out. It was just, what am I going
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: to do? Just, just sell, be false advertising.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: That is soft.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 5: Go ahead. Sorry.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: Stewards.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: But it's two and a half. We should have put
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: more on it last week. We should have just emptied
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: the house on stewards minus two and a half last week.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: We're now seven and five up two units. I was
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: going to do a season long check-in. I think we'll
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: save that to next week, Pat, mainly because I don't
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: have those stats in front of me this week. We're
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: going over to London town. And this might be my
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: game of the year, Pat. Jags minus two and a
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: half versus the Texans in London town. We're putting two
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: units on it. I might have more, but the officially
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: we're going to do two Jags minus two and a
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: half versus Texans. The Jags played in London last week.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: They're so insane.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: How often every year the Jags play overseas.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: They talk about moving them over there. They should for
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: 20 years. They've talked about it now, but they've been
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: there for a week. And Pat, we know how hard
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: it is to get acclimated. I think the Texans fly
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: in on Thursday and, I'm taking Jags minus two and
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: a half versus the Texans. This is similar to the
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: San Francisco bet earlier in the year against the Rams
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: where they were in Australia for a week before LA was.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: Go with the Jags here, two and a half all day.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 5: I like it.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Pat. Very kind to you. You want to send
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: us your commercial?
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: Sure. Yeah, we're going to kick it to commercial here
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: and we get packed. Bring in a voice for us
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: here until the week gets some trivia for you guys.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned. Well, hi there.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 11: My name's Dick, and I'm the owner and proprietor.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 5: Of Fremonta Family Farms.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 11: At Fremonta Family Farms, we put family first. That's why
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 11: all our animals are bred locally, in-house, exclusively with members
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 11: of their own kin. We don't use any of them
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 11: liberal city boy GMO hormonal cows.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: We breed the old-fashioned way.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 11: A couple candles in the barn, cow jams, volumes one
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 11: through four, and some gentle coercion. We've worked hard this
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 11: summer to ensure our cows have 30% less hepatitis. Not
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 11: only do we milk our cows by hand, but we
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 11: slaughter using our bare hands as well. None of them fancy, high-powered,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 11: unethical killing machines. Just my cousin Tucker and a few
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 11: left hooks. We also don't just milk cows. We'll provide
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 11: you with whatever milk you please. Hell, I'll milk a
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 11: pig for you. We can milk a horse.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 13: I'll even milk my old blue-tig, Betsy.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 11: Visit any of our 12 locations with the finest quality
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 11: from under cheese, dairy, and meat around. You can find
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 11: our vans parked in the handicapped space at your local
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 11: gas station, Tuesdays and Thursdays, from.

• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: You have a bad connection. Thanks for sticking with us
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: to the sexiest, as Pat says, the sexiest, sexiest listeners.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: We got a couple of calls from you guys this week. First,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: this guy doesn't introduce himself. I haven't listened to the
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: message so far, so let's see who it is. That's it.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: I think that was Jim Browning.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we all know who that is.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: That was Jim Browning. I don't know if that was
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: from 1059.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: He looked at Pat during the tailgate and said, just
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: love the voicemail. It's a short one.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: He's left a couple updates from the tailgate. Maybe we
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: do a little, you know, Jim Brody from the tailgate spot.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, though, man. Walking Taco is so underrated.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: They're the fucking best. amber wants to do walking tacos
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: at her wedding like she she.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: Has asked me a few times yeah dude she is
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: you should get someone to dress up as the lunch
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: lady from billy madison and just slop that meat in
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: the bag extra sloppy.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: She has like jokingly asked me like can we not
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: do like dinner and just give everyone walking.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: Tacos what are you talking about you should do dude
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: you should have like the last 30 minutes, like serve
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: like munchies. Like if it shuts down at 11, like 1030,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: get a little station going and get like McDonald's or
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: walking tacos or chicken tenders or something.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: A munchie station. Yeah. It's not a bad idea.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: Or like a little, you know, to take, you get
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: a little to go boxes. You can take it home.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: Cause everyone gets drunk after a wedding. They want to
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: eat some fucking garbage.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's the food that we have. maybe the catering
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: staff will box it up and people can take that home.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: And then you also get McDonald's as well.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: You also get McDonald's.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: That's not a bad idea, Pat. I'm going to push
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: that up the totem pole.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe the walking tacos come.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 8: Out at 11 PM.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: On your way out, the walkout talk.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: The walkout talk.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: Wow, Pat.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: Pat, you might have struck gold here. I think I
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: can get that one approved. I think I can push
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: that one up the corporate ladder and get that one approved.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah. Hell yeah. You just got to make sure
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: it's late enough that people aren't going to leave the
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: dance floor prematurely. You know, that's a big thing at weddings.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: Everyone's always got to be on the dance floor.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we'll see. We'll see about that. Anyways, thanks,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: Jim Browning, for the tailgate update. Let's kick it to
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: Ryan Don Cheswick.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: Ryan, right?
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Ryan.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: He's back. Carp Top Radio. It's Ryan Don Cheswick.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 8: First time calling in this year.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: Great fucking game yesterday, man.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 4: Took care of business.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 8: It's fun watching a good offense again.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: And, you know, seeing Jay Lamorne do.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 8: His thing, man, looks like a top five running back
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 8: in the league right now. But, Yeah, mostly just wanted
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 8: to call in and give you guys a special shout-out.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 8: Tarp Soft, Pat McGingy, Intern Doom, guys are just killing
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 8: it this year, man.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: I truly look forward every.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 8: Wednesday morning to hearing what you guys got to say.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 8: So just wanted to shout you guys out and, yeah,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 8: hopefully pop over for a tailgate here soon and get
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 8: my Tarp Soft koozie.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 5: See you guys soon. Hell yeah.

  Speaker 6: Go Steelers.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 13: Hell yeah.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: Go Steelers, baby.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: What a call.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: What a call.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: Speaking of top five running back, Jalen Warren is sixth
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: in rushing yards. Kind of low on touchdowns. But among,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: let's see, I'm putting him second in yards per carry
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: because it's Jalen McLaughlin, Bam Knight, Justice Hill, Kamini Vidal.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: and then Kenneth Walker, and then Jalen Warren. So, yeah,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: I'm putting him at, amongst qualified running backs, I'll put
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: Jalen Warren number two in yards per carry. Let's see
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: yards after contact. Number five in the National Football League
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: in yards after contact. I mean, McGee, that is all
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: the makings of a top five running back.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: Not only that, Pat, but as Ryan said, it is
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: nice to watch a good offense again. I think we're
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: finally there. And we struggled for two weeks, you know,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: coming out the gate, gelling. I think this is a
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: good offense now, Pat.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm loving this dude. I'm looking at this great, great.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: It's a summer sports, S U M E R sports.com.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: They got this great stat breakdown here for all the
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: running backs. He's also seconds in the, in amongst running
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: backs and receiving yards, McGingey and his target share is,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: of the, of the offense is one of the lowest
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: in the top 10 in that category too. Pat Statenhoff,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: close the door.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 14: Pat's putting a fucking cowboy hat on his fucking bedroom
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 14: door right now.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 5: Oh man.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: And appreciate all the love from all of our listeners.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, Ryan said it best, you know, we do
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: this cause you guys enjoy it. And I will say,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: we get some emails every week. Pat, have you listened
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: to any of those? Have you seen any of those
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: rankings from the emails we get?
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know the password anymore. The password
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: must have changed.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: To the email?
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: To the statistics. Oh, yeah.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: It definitely changed. I change it almost every week because
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: I forget it. Anyways, we are now the 40th Steelers
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: podcast in the history of Steelers podcasts. Right ahead of
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: the Still Curtain podcast with Josh Urich, Mark Powell, Tommy Jaggi,
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: Shane Kubas. I don't know those people. Heard of it.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: And right behind the Steelers Audio Network postgame show with
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: Charlie Batchelor and Mike Prezant.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah. The podcast for it. This is the history.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: There's maybe 30 podcasts on here that are not doing
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: podcasts anymore.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I see we're popular in Singapore.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: Very popular in Singapore.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we love our Singaporean visitors.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: In Thailand.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: That's why they call Bangkok, sweetie. Yeah. Anyways, we love
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: our listeners. Thanks for the call, Ryan. Appreciate you. Let's
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: hear from everyone's favorite Mountain resident, Fabio on the Mount.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: I wonder if he has anything to say.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, his favorite yapper.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 5: He turns off podcast.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: Bobby had him out of here.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: Good dub.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 5: Good dub against the Colts last Sunday.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: Not too much to complain about from a fall-down-the-mouse perspective.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 4: The one thing I can pinpoint, lack of pass.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: Rush, you know, no game breakers from TJ or Heisman
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: or Herbig.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 5: Would have liked to see a little bit more.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 4: Of that, but, you know, when's the win?
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 5: We stop JT, you take it.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 4: The other thing I'd like to complain about, tailgate conditions.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 4: Ran upside down and sideways.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: Not ideal, but I don't want to.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 4: Complain about Jim Broney.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 5: Pat, McGingy, holding it down as always. Good time with
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 5: you boys. Thank you for the mics hard.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the walking tacos and all the other
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: snacks and things.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 4: Really appreciate it.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 5: Good to be there for you boys.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: Hear what you guys talk about.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: Big fan.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 5: Not going no ways.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 13: Last but not least.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: Go Steelers.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: Go Steelers, yeah.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: I think Favre on the– go ahead, Pat.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 10: No, I was going to say shout-out to Favre on
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 10: the Mount for the 20 buckaroos he smacked in my hand,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 10: always appreciated. And shout-out to Favre on the Mount for
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 10: being a good sport when even some of the new
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 10: guys started giving him some three-man chugs, just picked.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: Him out of the lineup and started bullying him a
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: little bit. So shout-out to a good three-man performance in
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: the parking lot for Favre as well.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: It was his best performance this year, and it's really
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: not saying much. He put up two pitiful performances. Everyone
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: had to target him because he doesn't drink his seconds.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: This was a good performance, and it's a step in
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: the right direction.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: He did have a crazy call on me early in
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: the match, in the game, whatever you want to call it,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: where It was like within the first 10 rolls. He
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: had one double or I had one double. I gave
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: it to somebody else. And then he, somebody gives him
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: one and he gives it to me. He rolls a double.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: He gets what he gives it to me. And I'm like,
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: what the fuck, dude? He goes, you've been fucking guarding
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: me all day. You've been carrying me. I'm like, dude,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: I haven't even rolled. I rolled doubles once. I didn't
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: give it to you.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: He's like, whatever, dude. He's a little grumpy. You know,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: it was 7 a.m. and in the middle of a monsoon.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: That was the tailgate for the sickos.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, all the sickos that really care about that
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: shit were down there. Genuinely. That genuinely, that shit ruins
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: their week if the stewards lose. Genuinely.

• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: football guys to have ever graced this earth. Nobody lived

  Speaker 1: Imagine how, like, as a kid, I didn't really think
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: of this, because he was just this silly goat, kicking
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: and screaming, but just how fucking terrifying being around him
