Other Games:

• Playoff pressure: “Teams that have to win will find a way this week.” (124:41)
• Dudes watch: Quinn Meinerz (“meathead, as tough as they come”), Landon Dickerson (“big body that moves big people”), Quenton Nelson.

The weekly airing of personal grievances and minor disasters:

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Yeah, Martin.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I am twisted, T. I'm twisted.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Let's get twisted. Memes. What are you? I'm shrek. Donkey, give us a line.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Donkey. Yeah. Max.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

What are you, me and Hank doing? Couples costume. Oh, you're also twisted. Tea. We're a two pack.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Zach.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

I am the yellow M M. Nice.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Love that. Nice. Pft.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I am Post Malone. I guess I'm Pre Malone.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Post Malone.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Post Malone.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And I am Shark Week.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I like that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

This was. Zach actually saved me because I was going to be the Gopuff. Stay Puff Man. And Gopuff is something different. Stay Puff Man. And it doesn't really work for podcasting because I couldn't see out of the entire costume.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It was very loud too.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It was very noisy.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The inflatable ones always are.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Didn't think that one through, but we are costumed up and we watched a spooky Thursday night Football because it is a horror show. Watching the Miami Dolphins play football, it was bad.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

But congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens because I feel like this is exactly what they needed.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Made me feel a little bit better that the Dolphins were only able to get six points against the Ravens. Ravens defense looks like it's back. Lamar Jackson, basically, he was okay in the first half. He was good. But, you know, he was getting a little rust off the third quarter. He's like, you know what? Let's just end this game right now. And he ended the game and they dominated me in the third quarter and the game was over. And Mike McDaniel, you fired, it looked bad.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And then at the end of the first half, that was a particularly depressing drive if you're a Dolphins fan, because it. First of all, every time the Dolphins do anything good, something bad happens.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

They never have anything good happen to them. And they never get to exhale after a good play because you know there's a flag coming or you know that there's a challenge flag. That was a very mean challenge, by the way.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Very mean.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That John Haro threw on that sick ass pass to hn right y and it didn't really hit the ground. Harbaugh challenge it. It got overturned. That felt. Felt like it was rubbing salt in the wound a little bit for him. But the. The most depressing part was that drive at the end of the first half when they get the ball to midfield. And we were saying, first of all, we wanted to see how far two could throw it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So let, let, let the kid sling it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And I don't think Tua wanted to see how far he could.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He did not.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And second of all, if you're not going to let to a sling it, put In Zach Wilson to throw a Hail Mary designated Hail Marrier. Like they had. I think Jacoby Brissette did that for.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

A little bit, right? Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

When it was Philip Rivers on the Colts.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think it was like, okay, you're the Hail Mary guy. Instead they had to a drop back to pass and then self sack after like three seconds. And it was just. I've never seen so many hometown fans booing their team when they. And well deserved, by the way. It was deserved.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The entire game just became. How many sad screen grabs can we get of Dolphins fans? We had guys with popcorn buckets on their head. There was a guy wearing a baby mask that said play with some pride. There were just there, the booze were out. The screaming was out. There was like there's legitimate fans screaming at the home team. That's how horrific it got.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It was Paperback City.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It was paper bags.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Paper bags. There was one guy that stood up at the end of the first half and he like he was booing and then he stopped his booing to take out his phone to take a video of the entire stadium booing.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It became like a spectacle.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. And. And yeah, they're just the most bad vibes team out there. Even when they had a good game last week and beat the Falcons. Go. Could this be something, you know, could the Dolphins be moving in the right direction? Nope. As Henry Locke would say this in the Ravens are they're going to win the the AFC North. They're going to win the AFC North. We should congratulate them. They're going to win the AFC North. Lamar had the most Lamar stat line. And I mean that in the best way possible outside of the rushing because, you know, usually he'll rush for a few more yards, but he was 18 for 23 for 204 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions. That's like if you showed me that stat line, I would just every time be like, that was Lamar.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's a win.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's Lamar. But that's what he's super efficient. It's not like he has to throw 400 yards, four touchdowns. Every time they needed a play, he got one. Mark Andrews re, you know, reinvigorated. It's just. Yeah, the Ravens are going to be just fine. The Ravens are back. They're going to win the Think about who they think about who they. They're playing like they still play the Steelers twice. The Steelers, they're going to beat the Steelers. At least watch.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You know, they'll split the Steelers, they got the Vikings. They'll Split the Steelers, the Browns, the jets, the Bengals. Steelers, Bengals, Patriots, Packers, Steelers.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

They're going to. If they. Even if they split the Steelers, it, you know, oh, he beat the Browns, beat the Bengals twice. Yeah. The Ravens are gonna be fine.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

They'll be just fine.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

They'll be just.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And I give a lot of credit to Lamar Jackson for showing the leadership to take not only the ping pong table, but the pinball table out of the locker room.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He. He made the announcement yesterday. He. He copped it. He was like, yeah, that was me. People were having too much fun. They're playing too many games. We're not about games here. So my theory is that maybe Marlon Humphrey was just kicking his ass in pinball or ping pong. He's like, okay, hey, too much joking around. Get the tables out of here.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Stop the horse and around, fellas.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And did you see the. The jersey that Lamar was wearing when he did this press conference?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It was like his practice jersey, but it had all these patches on it. It was like all of his MVP trophies were on it. His, like, offensive player of the year trophies. It looked. Mark Titus said it looked like the. The Jeff D. Lowe version of a practice jersey because it was just flair.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That he had invented for himself that he was going to put on. It looked like he ironed it on at home.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's. I mean, listen, you got to wear your flair.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Got it. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Got to have all your flair showing.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Got it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The Dolphins have to just fire everyone, start fresh, right?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, you would think, but I don't think that they're going to. I think that McDaniel will probably be.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Fired and two will probably be fired.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Fired or I just paid.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Paid and fired.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Still paid and fired. Which is a great way to get fired. But they'll probably. I. I would think that they are considering keeping Chris Greer as the gm.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I don't. I don't know. It just feels like they're lost and they've been lost for a couple years. It feels like this year has been building for the last three years. Does that make sense?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Well, it depends, though.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

They had some year, like they went to the playoffs, was it two years ago. But it just feels like we've been building to this moment of, hey, when this is going to go south, it's going to go south quickly and in a horrific fashion.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It depends on how they finish out the season because the worst thing that they could do would be to do the thing that they've done and go like, I don't know, Figure out how to win six games or seven games and then not do a full reset. Yeah, they probably won't based on how they look right now, but that's kind of been their MO over the last few years. It's like, you know deep down in your heart that you need to tear it down but finish the season out just strong enough so that not enough people have to go.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, yeah. It just. Ever since the Kansas City playoff game.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

In the cold, something happened in the.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Cold just gone down. It actually was. I think it was a combo. It was that and then didn't they. In that same year, I think they lost the division in week 18 to the Bills. I want to say because they finished 11 and six that year. It was like that game. It was the. They lost the Ravens in week 17 by a billion. Then they lost the division of the Bills, then they lost in the cold to Kansas City. Then everything just has gone south since.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think it got so cold in Kansas City that it completely ruined the team.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, that's how they still haven't warmed up.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

They have long hypothermia.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, so the other thing we got to talk about before we get. So we taped the picks in preview and Baldi earlier in the day. So we're going to get out of our costumes and we'll be back in our costumes for Fire Fest. But the World Series has been incredible. And the Toronto Blue Jays. Okay, Blue Jays, let's play ball. What a story.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

They. After the 18 inning game, they win game four. They win game five, which was a pivotal game five. As Magic Johnson pointed out to us on Twitter, Trey, you savage. Unbelievable. I like, I don't think we're. Because, you know, it's a lot about Vladdy, rightfully so. It's a lot about Shohei. Rightfully so. This fucking dude was in college baseball last year. He's pitched this season. He has pitched in all five levels of baseball. He made three plus starts in all five levels. He started the season in single A. Then he went to high A Vancouver Canadians, Double A New Hampshire Fisher Cats, AAA Buffalo Bisons now on the Blue Jays. He got called up in September. He's now pitching pivotal games. Game five, 12 strikeouts. It's insane. This guy is insane. It's making like 20 cents.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's. It's absolutely nuts. He was lights out. He. He made Shohei Otani swing his own helmet off. Yeah. At the plate he was like embarrassing dudes out there embarrassing Shohei Ohtani at the plate. It was awesome to watch. I Was very happy for the guy. And then the way that the Blue Jays started the game though. Yeah, Was incredible.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Jumped on him.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Jumped on him. First pitch, ding dong, Davis, Schneider. This guy is so weird. I love him. He is.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

His name is even like. It should be David.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It should be David Snyder. Yeah, it's Davis, Schneider and this guy, he is the Frank Caliendo of Major league baseball players. He imitates other players, batting stances. I think he goes through like 30 different batting stances over the course of a year. And so like two games back to back, he'll switch it up.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Last night they asked him who he was imitating with his batting stance. He said, I'm imitating tonight. Actually my own batting stance from when I played minor league baseball.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Great.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The dude just switches it up all.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The time and the whole time he's doing it. He looks like he should be a cop on Reno911.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, he looked awesome.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He should be in a buddy cop movie.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I thought he looked like that dude, the goofy one.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He like fires the gun and hits his own dick.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He looked like that dude from Sicario. The guy that was just sitting in the shotgun seat. That. Yeah, that guy's a fucking killer.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Sakario is such a good movie.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's the best.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And the second one was really good too.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I didn't see this guy. Oh, you should heard it was bad.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, I loved it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Okay, I'll check it out.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No, you should see it. I mean, it might. It's not as good as the first one, but I still. It's pretty much like same shit, like, hey, cartels, we're badasses.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Gonna kill some people, some operators, some shit up. Yeah, it's fucking cool. Yeah, the Dodgers are. Sorry, the Blue Jays, the cup is in the building. They can win the World Series. Do you think I saw someone point out that the 18 inning game actually took a lot more out of it. And this is obviously maybe hindsight, but this also could maybe be a key to getting into game six and seven and the Dodgers still having a chance. They were saying that G, the 18 inning game took more out of the Dodgers than the Blue Jays because the Dodgers are considerably older of a team.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Aren't the Blue Jays like the second or third oldest team?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I don't know. I just saw someone say that and I was like, oh, that makes sense. I didn't look at any facts or. I just know Freddie Freeman's old.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think it was.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Clayton Kershaw is really old.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think it was Buster. Only that might have said it, but I think that Blue Jays are old too.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Trey Savage is not old.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Not old.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He's young. So here's a crazy stat. You ready for this?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

But to that point, I've never been more wrong about anything in a baseball series than I was thinking. There we go. Toronto Blue Jays are the fourth oldest team. The Dodgers are the oldest. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But the Blue Jays have some young, some young studs.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

They do.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Trey Savage, can I give you a crazy stat? That's fucking nuts.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

There have been two games in MLB postseason history where a pitcher struck out 10 plus total batters, struck out five plus consecutive batters struck out 50% of the batters, faced allowed fewer than five base runners and earned the win. Both those games were by Trey Esavich.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

In his first postseason.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Winner. He. He did that game five and he did that in the series against the Yankees, I believe.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That is crazy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Insane. He's so good. Again, this guy like Max, you know, you know baseball. He. Guys don't go from, from, from, from the lowest point of the minors to pitching game five of. Of the World Series in the same season. It's nuts. No, I mean, because if he was like, if he was guys who are like true studs, like a Paul Skeens doesn't start at the lowest point. Right. Does he?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, he does.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

You still do. But the more the bit in today's game, like college pitchers especially, are getting called up sooner than they used to, but they're normally four shitty teams. Like it's, it's rare to have someone like this come up, be so impactful, and basically be their, their ace on a World Series team. That's, I mean, in the driver's seat to win the World Series right now.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's like, do you think that he's pitching with a little extra motivation to try to beat the team that beat his fills?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, he is a Phillies fan.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, he's a Phillies fan.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Can't stand the Dodgers.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

But if you, but if he was a real Phillies fan, wouldn't he then want the Dodgers to blow out the Blue Jays in the World Series so he could be like, yeah, the Phillies were the second best team in baseball.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I'm, I'm over that. I'm, I'm excited for the.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You were wrong.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I was wrong.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

By the way, Blue Jays did start in the lowest spot, but he was there each time for like, he had one start in single A.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He had checked it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He had two starts in double A. Like you. Savage started seven games in the lowest rung of baseball. And then he started 4 in A plus and 7 in double A and 4 and triple A. Like, he. He was there for a little bit in each level, and he just did that all year and then got. Now he's pitching in the fucking World Series and dominating. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I've never been more wrong about a series than when the Dodgers won that 18 in a game. And I thought to myself, they're just going to win every other game. Yeah, that was such a. It was such, like, an emotional, long night that it felt like the team that win, that they were just going to blow out the other team. But the Blue Jays rock.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

What were you gonna say, Max? You're gonna say something I forget. Okay, cool, Cool, cool, cool.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Oh, I was just gonna say, like, the Blue Jays are the perfect team right now. That, like, they have enough talent that they can win, but they still have this.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

What's Shrek doing in.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Characters? Froze.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

PFTs.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

PFT's not here.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Love that post.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Malone.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Camera for us. Thank you.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'm better now. Thank you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Thank you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

It's going to. It's going to come back so soon. Yeah, it's going to come back, so.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

All right, now we're going to have to. Now we're trying to pick up Max's thoughts. Two times.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I know. This is impossible.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Brutal. There's no way. He's got his thought.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The Blue Jays, it's like we took two timeouts.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Are we keeping all this in?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You can.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You can ice Max. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Are we keeping all this in?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Keep it all in.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

But you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You can absolutely ice Max.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

All right. The Blue Jays are the sort of team that in baseball, it's like the cliche team that got hot at the right time, but they're not exactly that. Like, they were really good team all year long. It was just that they were very.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Much under what the camera's going.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Just got the camera going, doing tricks on it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

You guys keep. You guys keep. Keep calling timeouts on me.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

There's a flag. Three timeouts are bad.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Blue Jays are really good, and they're in a good spot that no one really expects them to win. So they're playing really, like, free right now, and there's so much less pressure than on them than the Dodgers and baseball. Such a game that's tough to deliver under pressure. And the Jays are in a great sweet spot right now. Yeah, that very talented team, and they're playing free with nothing to lose.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I wanted to go seven. I'll say.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Oh, yeah, big time. Wanted to go.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I do think.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I don't want it to ever end.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I do think it. Yamamoto's been. That's been the. The guy. I mean, that Blake Snell got hit around a little. I didn't really like. He's just like, that's baseball. It's like, dude, that was game five of the World Series. He's like, yeah, you know, things happen. That's baseball.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I hate that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I was like, yeah, it is baseball. That. That's baseball is something you say in. In mid July. That's baseball.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

How bad would that suck to get the two first batters that you face in World Series game just take you park.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Just. Just like, absolutely bomb you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I would have to look more at, like, Would have to look more at the tape. I. I would be all right with it if, like, he made a really.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Really good Find the tape. Oh, oh, oh. You're saying of Blake's down?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, I'm saying, like, of his game. Like, if he made a really good pitch, like, painted a, you know, break breaking ball in the corner and he, like, Vlad. He just beat him or Schneider just beat him like, that, I would be all right with saying, like, I made my pitch. He made it. He made it. That's baseball appearance. That's baseball.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Good hitting. Yeah, good hitting beats good pitch.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, like, that's something that I would be like, all right, that's good baseball. That's good baseball. Why. Why you. Why you laughing?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Me? Just a twisted tea can bottle, dude.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

He's a bottle.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, you get bottle appropriate. My Zach just looks like the sun.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Right now, but if he just had a bad outing and he's just putting meatballs over the plate and he's like, it. That's baseball. Like, that would piss me off. Yeah, because baseball is a weird thing. Like, you can. You can do your job and, like, do exactly what you plan on doing, and sometimes you can just get beat. And that's. That's baseball.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That is.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That is baseball. That's the game we know and love.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Wait, what do you say? It's all right. Wait, hold on. Can you find. Here, I'll send you the clip. Let's watch the clip because maybe we're being mean to. To Blake Snell also. Blake Snell looks like he just needs a nap. And I don't mean that. Like, I know that's a mean thing to say to someone.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Like, well, I got to.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He also kind of looks like Tom Green.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I got a counterpoint, though. Isn't. Isn't saying that's baseball. Isn't that, like, the ultimate Blake move?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, true.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's a big time Blake move.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Here, Max, I'll send you the.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I'm looking at it. The first pitch Wasn't that bad. 97 up his hands.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Breakdown right now. I like this.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I don't. I don't hate that. That pitch. That's. That's a really. That's a really tough pitch to hit.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Good pitch, bad result.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's a. That's baseball pitch that the first one was.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

That's baseball pitch. Let me see where he was setting up. Actually, he was kind of setting up. Middle, middle.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

All right, let me see.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Vladdy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I don't know why they're showing me a ball. I don't want to see a ball. Let me see.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Oh, the second pitch.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, second pitch.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Wait, what is the first pitch of that baseball?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I mean, that's. That's exactly the spot. I'm. I'm kind of on to that. Yeah, he hit both of his spots there, and he just got beat.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I sent you him talking to reporters. Let's see the tone that he said it to. Like, I. I just know that in the game five of the World Series, I just. I think I'd want my guy to just. I. I DM'd it to you, Max. I think I want my guy to be like, yeah, that fucking sucked. I'm pissed.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I mean, that's what. That's. Bryce Harper says that every time he just says, like, exactly. He was like, let me think about what Philly fans would want me to say. And then that's what he says, which is almost like, whatever. Oh.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Oh, you think he's patronizing you?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

No, he's not. He's not. But how this game started, it's. It.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He should.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

He should teach a class on, like, how to. How to talk to Philly, handle Philly media.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. What do you think allowed them to get to you so early before you were able to settle in?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I mean, it didn't really get to me. It was the first pitch of the game. 97 fastball up and in.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's baseball.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

That's exactly what I just said.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Lucky. And then Vlad, that's a. Yeah, just a bad pitch now and then fastball.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But then after that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, pretty. Pretty smooth sailing. Figured out their lineup, what they like to do. Then Varsho gets a triple on a 78 exit velo.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's just unlucky. Yeah. I mean, I'm not. I'm not one to make excuses or anything. Close to that. But, yeah, just pretty unlucky. Okay, so that's a man that. When he gave up that triple, the first thing he did when he went to the dugout was he went over to. To whatever readout or printout he got or asked a guy like, hey, what was the exit feel? I want to know the number on that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So I think we're on. We're on Blake Snell's side. That's baseball.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. And that was a bad play. That was a bad play in right.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Field, but you can't.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You can't dive for that or slide for it and let that go to the wall.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

As a Dodgers fan, you're allowed to be mad at that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Because I sure as hell, I think would be mad about that as like, if a Phillies pitcher were to say all this after a huge loss. But objectively speaking, I agree with him. Like, that's baseball.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, so that's baseball. But I'm happy we got to the bottom of that. Trey Savage is a Savage.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, he's a beast. He's absolutely pitching. We got to do something about pitching. Pitching's getting too good. There's too many good young pitchers.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

A lot of runs in this. I know all the young.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

There's so many young pitchers that are coming up that just have disgusting stuff.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'm. I'm okay with that. Yeah, no, I like. I mean, it's not like there's too many good pitchers.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, dude, what are you talking about? There's, like. There's no. I think we're good.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, we're. We've got.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I think we're in a good spot.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

This is. We're in the future is bright spot.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I think this has been one of the most entertaining World Series, you know, in a while. It's been awesome.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

It has been fucking awesome.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So much fun. Like, no rooting interest, and I'm. I'm glued to it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So, yeah, I want seven.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I'm so happy that we. That we get baseball this weekend. We need.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Well for Friday.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I know, but we.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

That's part of the weekend.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay. Blue Jays.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Like, it was. It would have sucked if there was no baseball. Like. Like, you'll.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You'll.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Everyone's going to Halloween party, and they'll be. There'll be baseball on.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, but. But. Yeah, but we could get more baseball, though, too.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, I know, but Friday, they should. Friday is big.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

If we get game seven, we should just save it for Tuesday. Oh, no, that's Maction.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

No, we can. We can. I Would. I would rather Saturday night.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. I mean, I'm.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

No, I'd rather Tuesday. I would rather Tuesday.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Or just save it for, like. Like February.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

What about, like, that Saturday before the Masters?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Just give it. Just give us something that we really want when we're in the middle of the winter. That was like, hey, guess what? Now it's game seven.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So there's a storyline I just want to call a storyline before it happens, just so I can say, told you so. If the Blue Jays win the World Series, there will be reporters in Toronto being like, you guys aren't going to the White House.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Right.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Oh, because the 51st state thing.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

There's gonna be, like, they're gonna go.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

To the Prime Minister's house.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Rob Ford visit.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Rob Ford's great.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

This one. Hey. This one's for Robbie Ford. Robbie Ford would have loved this.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, he would have. Yeah. You see, Drake wore his jacket. Yeah, Drake wore the Rob Ford, like, football jacket.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's awesome.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

During game one.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's awesome.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It was so sick.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

What a tribute.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Beautiful tribute. And he got wing sauce on it and everything. It's great. Look at that. Isn't that cool?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The actual jacket, R. Ford.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I don't know if it's the actual jacket, but it. That's got to be so cool to be. If you're like Drake's level of wealth, where you can just say, hey, hey, I want to. I want to wear the Rob Ford jacket. And someone just goes, makes it custom for you in, like, a matter of minutes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Like, here you go.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think that might be the same jacket.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I don't know. You think he got gifted that jacket?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'd say the Drake could probably get his hands.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

The collars.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. The colors are different.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And so in the arm and the.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Text on the R. Ford.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Still sick.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's still really sick.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Awesome. Jackie, Remember when Rob Forbe was like, I don't need to eat her pussy. I've got plenty of pussy to eat at home.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. No, I got. No, he said, I got more. More than enough to eat at home.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I got more than enough.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And it was. It was in a press conference that he. He. It was not about the pussy eating.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No, it was about crack.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It was about. No. What? I don't. It was, like, about a fight with someone else in the Parliament or whatever. And he. And he basically finished the whole press conference. He was just like. And one last thing. This lady who said, I wanted to eat her pussy, I got more than enough to Eat at home.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That guy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's like, dude. What? We didn't even ask about that. Yeah, and one last thing.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

This one's for Rob.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Can you find that press conference? Can we play that or. No, probably can't. Can we do the audio of it? Yeah, we could do the audio of it. Rob Ford more than enough pussy at home.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The rug doctor.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The. The. I just love that. I remember he just said, like, in one last thing, like, it was like, dude, we didn't need you to say that, but you did. This is gonna take forever to Matt for Max to find.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, it's a forever. That's right.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I don't know why every time he does a search, it's always through X, like, just sir.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

That's a good point.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Search it on, like, I guarantee you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

But then. Then you got to deal with ads.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No, but why are you even too. Do you know that Google exists? You just went to YouTube, like, just.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Well, it didn't show up on YouTube.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It might be a type Real or Rob Ford.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Plenty.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, more than enough to, you know.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

There you go.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, there you go.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

You see? Okay, now we're gonna have to watch an ad. Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Ad.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Right in your face.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, here we go.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Alana is not a prostitute. She's a friend. And it makes me sick how people are saying this. So unfortunately, I have no other choice. I'm the last one to take legal action. I can't.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I can't put up with it anymore. So I've named the names.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Litigation will be starting shortly. I've had enough. That's why I warned you guys yesterday. Be careful what you wrote. Okay, so that's all I have to say for now. And the next thing, I want to.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Call Mayor Britannia in Hamilton and tell.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Them that we're gonna have to spank their little tiger cats.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Oh, the last thing was Olivia Gondak.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It says that I wanted to eat her pussy.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Gondock. I've never said that in my life to her.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I would never do that.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I'm happily married.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I've got more than enough to eat at home.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I love that how before he said that, he looked down. He looked down at a note.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, he talks about, like, a football game coming up.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And then he looked down his notes. Oh, yeah. And one last.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

One last.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Like, the. The note was like, talk about Olivia's.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I never said that. And then. And then the. The reporters being like, what about the drunk driving? Okay, so do it for. Do it for Rob Ford. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, let's. Let's get out of our costume. We do our weekend preview. We have baldy, and then we'll finish with Fyre fest. Okay. Before we get to the weekend preview, DraftKings NFL fans, what's your favorite touchdown?

I don't think we hit last week.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

You guys run it back. I got. I got enough. I got enough.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

There's one guy from last week that I am. I am locked in on, and he's a guy that we picked last week.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And can I. Can I just say my leg.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Tyler Warren this week.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay. It's got to be an afternoon game.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's a great question.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He might be an early game.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Did not look into that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

There was people who are saying they were mad that we didn't pick Kittle. It's like, hey, he was a. He was an early game. We only do afternoon games. I. We're gonna find someone. We're gonna find a couple people.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I feel like we gotta let Matt or. I don't know. I don't know if Max is gonna do a touchdown score in his bet, but if he is.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, we gotta.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

One of them has to be.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. All right, so I'm not ready to make that decision.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

All right.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I'm not ready to make that decision right now.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I got an idea.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Some good old fashioned hamburgers.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It is week nine in the NFL. I think it actually is officially daylight.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Savings time this weekend. Remember to set your clocks where you set them forward. Forward an hour.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, that does happen on Saturday night. We have week nine. We are halfway through the season. Not going to say it yet, but we are. Which will be halfway through the season. We also need to have a talk. Hank, we got a problem. All the favorites keep winning by a shitload. Yeah. So Last week favorites went 11. 2 against the spread and that was the best win percentage for favorites in a single week since December of 1985.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

You say problem, I hear positive. I hear that it's coming back.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yes, it's the hang. The. The hungry dog and the a pendulum. What's the Henry dog?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Henry dog. This is. Yeah. Underdogs are at a discount right now, right? It's what. That's what they say when the stock market bottoms out. It's like stocks are at a discount. Now's the time to invest. Warren Buffett is probably going to be putting a lot of money on the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Yeah. That's a. That's a big game we're going to get to. Also before we get into the games on bye week this week are the Cleveland Browns, the New York jets, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Tampa Bay Bucks.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Memes.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You can just soak in that win for another week. Excited for you. What a. What a week to win. Max. Are you feeling. You're feeling good about having a bye week? All the whole booth is.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Whole booth, booth buy, booth buy. All coming off wins too.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And guess what? You guys are still going to do boomers on Sunday. We'll just pick which games you're doing.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I was. I've. I have a feeling I know which game I'll probably be doing.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, you mean the game of the week. Yeah, the bar of the week. Barstool game of the week memes real quick on the Jets. Are they officially raising ticket prices even though they're one in seven.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

They have raised ticket prices different for each person. So I've seen a lot of 11%, seen a lot of 12%, but ticket prices have gone up. How do they. How do they decide how much they're raising it by person to person. They do like a credit check. I'm not sure I saw myj. Matt on Twitter has got raised 11.28. 11.28. Yeah, that's. That's very smart because that sounds like there's a formula behind it. It sounds like they did like a bunch of calculations, when in reality it's probably Woody Johnson just being like, 11.28. Sounds good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

If you. Not quite 11.5.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

If you talk to a ticket rep, they're like, hey, we're raising it 20%. You're fighting that even if they say 10, because like, that you just. You're just doing it just to take our money. But 11.2 means that something was calculated.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, I'm arguing with a. With some, like, Excel spreadsheet right now. I'm arguing with a formula.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. So that's a good segue because the first game we. I have on the list is Bears at Bengals. Bears are minus two and a half right now. The over under is 51 and a half. And there was a post on Reddit of a Bengals fan trying to cancel their season tickets.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And they said, here's. Here's the. Here's a post. I called today to cancel my Bengal season tickets for next year, and the whole conversation felt super guilt, trippy, and argumentative. I was asked if I only wanted to be a season ticket holder when we go to the playoffs. And am I just being emotional for losing to the Jets? They asked why I was unhappy, so I said that I'm frustrated with the front office, mainly the lack of real scouting department, bad drafts, and how the prices keep going up steeply every year since I joined. Instead of just taking the feedback they got defensive and said things like, this is the front office who drafted Joe Burrow and T. Higgins. The last thing being asked to me if is if I wanted cheap tickets or to pay Jamar Chase and T. Higgins. I love this. I think more ticket offices should do this. Just get into a good old argument about draft strategy when trying to cancel season two.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

When I read this, I thought to myself, there's. There's like a 50% chance that the person that answered this phone call, the. The ticket rep was Mike Brown. Yeah, I think this sounds like the words of Mike Brown being like, well, if you're so mad at the scouting department, were you mad when they got all those good players? We got, we got Joe Burrow, we got T. Higgins, we got Jamar Chase. Somebody had to pay those guys.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It also would be a very Mike Brown move to be like, I don't want to pay the salary and benefits of a ticket office rep. I'll just do it myself.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Right.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He's.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He's going to do everything.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

When it comes to this team, he's going to be shooting off the fireworks himself.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

On game day. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So this game for the Bears side is. I said it last Sunday, this is a must look good on offense game. The Bears offense has not. Has been up and down this year. The red zone is the big issue. They have dropped below 50% in red zone percentage. They also get a lot of penalties. This is going to be. If you can't light up the Bengals defense, then I'm going to start having some, some, some doubts creep in.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, the defense is Susan and Chicago, at least in terms of like the explosive plays. The Bears are at the top of the league for that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We just can't. We got to get touchdowns.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You guys get chunk plays. You're big on the chunks.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We also have a lot of injuries in the wide receiver room which hopefully will clear up, but not great.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. What about Olamide?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, he's.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

How's he doing there?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Hold on. I'm look at the. Because they did another injury report. There was a lot of DNPs.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I like checking in on him like he was like an old, an old college roommate that he's been a great year with. And, and you know, I check the LinkedIn once every four years.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Hear from him every now and again. I'm like, I'm glad he's doing good. He's a good dude.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He's been good. I do kind of wish Luther Burden was used more and that might be his spot. Luther Burden does have a concussion, so we'll see. But yeah, right now the. The. Did not practice. For the wide receiver room is Luther Burden, DJ Moore, Roma Dunze and Olamide. So the entire wide receiver room.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, it's tough.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Did not practice.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's tough. No.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Or actually no. Sorry. The last three were limited on Thursday, so that looks like those guys will play and Luther Burden might not because of a concussion.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And for the Bengals, Jamar Chase right now is on the. The mother of all hot streaks in the last four games. So if he gets 10 catches against the Bears, then that will be the most catches ever had over a five game span. Right now he's tied with Calvin Johnson over four games which is crazy. And we should also pause to put some respect on Calvin Johnson and just remember how great of a wide receiver he was.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The best.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And how unbelievable he was able to perform in that. In that Lions offense at the time.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Who will be throwing the ball to him though? Because it could be Jake Browning. Now if the Bears. I. I'll set the stage because I want to be honest when it comes to my reaction on Sunday night show if the Bears lose to Jake Browning, I will be very, very upset.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

If the Bears lose to Joe Flacco in a shootout, I will be. That sucks. But maybe, you know, the offense looked good so I can take some positives away. Yeah, I think that's how I'm approaching this game.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think that's fair because with Flacco. Listen, Flacco might not be the quarterback that he was 15 years ago, 10 years ago, but he still understands that if you have Jamar Chase just keep feeding him the ball until they tell you okay, this guy, he's triple covered now go anywhere else. Yeah, but your game plan with Flacco is like Flacco to Jamar Chase and then just let things happen. Let beautiful things happen.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And the Bears defense is bad. I'll just say it. I the cornerbacks are all injured and the pass rush is non existent. They need to take the ball away. That's pretty much the only chance. Otherwise it's going to be a long day because this is an explosive offense, especially if Joe Flacco plays. I will say we did add C C CJ Gardner Johnson to the team which probably max. He was on the Eagles what last year still? Yes, last year still good.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Ish.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Maybe he was good for those last year. So I like this signing for one reason. I think it's a sign that Ben Johnson is controlling who's on this team. And that's. I said many times Ben Johnson is who I trust. C.J. gardner Johnson is a good player who's had maybe not the best locker room presence. Is that a fair thing to say?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Not always though.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

He's a great locker room presence when you're. When things are going well.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Right. So this is what I'm saying about, about CD Deuce is that this could be, this could be a great signing because you will know if you have a good team or if you have a bad team just by his mere presence. Yes. Like if he's able to. To Stick around with the Bears. That means that you have a good team. And if he becomes a problem and he gets cut in like two weeks, then you're like, okay, we might kind of suck because CJ Gardner Johnson can't stand being in his locker room.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Right.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Because he will be a head case if, if the team's not good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And I think that that's a sign that Ben Johnson is, is controlling some of the personnel moves because we have avoided some of the quote unquote head cases in the past with Ryan Poles making the decisions, I think. And Dennis Allen was his coach. Dennis Allen was, was, Before Dennis Allen was the head coach of the Saints. He was the defensive coordinator for many, many years. So he knows him. He hopefully, he's hopefully a Dennis Allen guy. We need bodies in the secondary. So this is, I'm, I'm happy that we got a body.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. And, and I spent some time on the NFL penalties database that they have online.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Are bad.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Well, I wasn't looking at that, but I, I, I did look at one stat in particular and that's pass interference. So they keep track of all the pass interference. It will surprise nobody to know that Joe Flacco in the Cincinnati Bengals are, I believe, in fourth place in the NFL. And Joe's only been there for a few weeks. He, the man knows how to draw a pass interference. Big Cat. On the other hand, Chicago has not gained a single yard from pass interference this season.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Need to do that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's tough.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You got to figure that out.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Tell Caleb, hey, if you're going to miss a guy deep downfield, miss him short.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, throw it short. The Bears are the only team in, or, sorry, the second most penalties in the NFC to Dallas and they have six, six plus penalties in all seven games, including 11 last week. Gotta clean that stuff up. Gotta work towards being, trying to be a good team. This will be a good test. I think the Bears win this game. But I also, I don't know. I, I, I. Here's one good Bear stat that memes this is. This kind of shocked me. Teams after playing the jets are.07 against the spread this season. I don't know if that's, I don't know what that is, but let's just keep it going. Let's keep it going.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I like that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

18 and 37 against the spread over the last four seasons. Something about the jets.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

What could that be?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Maybe makes you feel like you're really good. Yeah. And then you don't focus enough.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You beat the jets and then. Yeah, then you overlook your next opponent. That's probably what it is.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

What memes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Or.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Or actually no. Or. Yeah, you probably. They're so physical. They take you to the limit. Okay, next game, Vikings at lions. Lions are eight and a half point favorites. The over under is sitting at 48 and a half. J.J. mcCarthy.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Time.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's officially time. He's ready to go. How do we feel about jj?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Should I feel good about jj?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I don't know.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Does anybody feel good like they, they felt great about JJ after the Monday night game against the Bears. Felt really good about him after that fourth quarter. That might have been the quarter of the year. He had a great performance there.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Well, no Bo Nicks Bonix.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Giants.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, that was. That was pretty good too. But yeah, JJ looked really good in that one quarter.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And then after that it's like, what.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The Falcons game was bad.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

We don't even really know what's happening with jj.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No idea.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No idea. I think he's healthy. I think he. He might have been healthy for the last couple weeks. I'm basing that all off him jumping over guy on the sidelines, but I have no idea what to expect from jj. Absolutely none.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I. I don't either. Yeah. If you ask me, like, hey, what are your takes on jj? Like, he's. He's playing quarterback, I think.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But the. I think is. Is there as well.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

They're. I think they've done a good job of, of limiting our exposure to JJ.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And now we're going to find out. And it's not an easy game. We have the Lions getting a little healthier off. Bye week. Dan Campbell was asked about how much he is working during bi week or if he's easy to deal with during the bi week. He said, that's a question for my wife. Yeah. I'm saying it's a buy and I'm not working, but I'm working. So the mind is always there. Unfortunately for her. So that means Dan Campbell's thinking about football all the time. Yeah. He's having sex thinking about football. 100%.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. That's a tough week in the Campbell household. He needs that release on Sundays or else he just.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's just football.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He goes nuts. Yeah, I, I actually, I do think that this might look a lot like that Lions Vikings playoff game. That's. That's. If I'm doing the, the visualization exercise and remote viewing this weekend. I see.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, wait, no, the week 18 game.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You mean week 18, because the Vikings.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Then went and lost to the Rams.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Yes. That's. Yes, it was.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It was to decide the one seed.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I saw January 5th and I was like, got to be a playoff game. No, that was the last week of last season. I think it's going to look similar to that if I had to. If I had to put money on it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The. The Lions are in that group. There's a few teams where it's like, hey, the. The touch. The spread is over. A touchdown. I still feel comfortable. Yeah, they. They have that. That gear in them, especially off a buy.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Brian Branch is back.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Brian Branch is back. I think they got a couple other guys back in the secondary. Aiden Hutchinson just got paid. That was smart of them. This is where the Lions are there. I know that we've. We all know that they're not the old Lions, but like paying Aiden Hutchinson before you have to pay him. That's what smart teams do. Yeah. They don't wait to get to a Micah Parsons situation.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I was looking at the comeback player of the year stats. I love Aiden Hutchinson for that right now.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He's like five to one.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think that's a good bet. I'm going to bet that right now, actually.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The. We also have. So if you're J.J. mcCarthy, you just got to try to get the ball to Justin Jefferson because he has not gotten the ball enough. I. I saw a crazy stat. Jamar Chase has 64 targets in the month of October. Justin Jefferson has 63 targets in the entire season.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Start feeding J.J. start feeding him. Maybe some of that's on. On the head coach too. Like, have him run some of these nice, easy drag routes.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Could be Carson Wentz as well.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Could be Carson Wentz who. The. The. After management of the Carson Wentz injury has been very funny, too, because now Carson's like, no, they didn't ask me to go out there and do anything that I was uncomfor doing. He's like having to defend himself. Like, did Carson. Did the Vikings. Did they pressure you to play football?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He's like, no, I. I wanted to do it. I was really. Maybe he's got a kink. Maybe he's into that sort of thing.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He's. He's been forced to defend Kevin o'. Connell.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. He's like, no, I. I consensually. I asked. I was like, Kevin, like, choke me, daddy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, Hank, stop me if there's any hungry dogs that you like.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

None so far.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

None so far.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Bengals or Vikings?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Nope.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay. Next up, Panthers at Packers. It is. Packers are minus 13 and a half overs. 44 and a half. We're. Are we back to Bryce Young? I think he was a full participant. I think Bryce Young.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think we've got Bryce Young. I'm more concerned about if it's going to be Chuba Hubbard or Rico Daddle. Yeah, Rico. It's. It's Rico time.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It is Rico.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Go with Rico.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Go with Rico. Always. I'm a rider.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The other big story out of this is essentially, what is Romeo Dobbs guardian cap gonna look like when we're watching the game on Sunday? We saw it in practice. The packers are wearing their throwbacks. It has the. The helmets are. The old leather helmet look. And Romeo Dobbs has, I would say, the guardian cap. The number one guardian cap.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So there it is. He's got it. It's going to look very funny.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I like that. And I think it's. I think it just keeps getting bigger.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It does.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

As the year goes on. And when you have two guys that are both wearing guardian caps at the same time, that's got to be extra confusing for the defense.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Like, maybe one of their guys should just, like, occasionally put on a guardian cap when he feels like it. And then for a second, a safety is going to be like, oh, who's who? Because one of these guys, Romeo Dobbs. That is. Look at that noggin.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I think I'd be a two guardian cap guy.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, that's.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Or is it like condom they rub up against each other.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Don't keep your guarding cap in your wallet.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And, yeah. Make sure that you change it out every now and again. But, yeah, it does look like it's for every. Like this. This picture gets. I'm going to make Romeo Dobbs guardian cap even bigger. Just keeps growing. I got a blind resume for you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

All right.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's related to. To the Green Bay Packers.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay. All right.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Player A has 346 yards receiving.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And six touchdowns.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Player B has 344 yards receiving and one touchdown.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I would take player A.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Okay. That's good. Player A is Tucker Kraft after the catch.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And player B is Kyle Pitts.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Oh.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So the question for Tucker Kraft, because I dubbed him the best tight end in the league. What tight end is going to have an incredible Sunday to make me look stupid?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It K's back, kid.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Do it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I could see he's gonna.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I mean, you know, like, there's got to be one guy. We got to focus on being like, this is the guy that's gonna make that statement look really dumb.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Hunter Henry. Tyler Warren. Tyler Warren could do it. Because then it's like, this guy's next.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He is.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Next up, I'm gonna. Washington from the Steelers.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Darnell.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Darnell.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'm just obsessed with that guy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I am, too. Yeah. I have a stat I don't want to say, but I'm gonna say it because we are a national sports podcast and we do unbiased previews. Jordan Love is one of three NFL quarterbacks to post in his first 40 career starts, 70 plus passing touchdowns, 25 or fewer interceptions. The other two quarterbacks are Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. I hate that. I hate that. I hate that. I hate that. But Jordan Love seemingly is pretty good at football.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You know, you should just start going with the line of like, do it in the playoffs.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I want to see it in the NFC championship.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But then he did he. Then people could say, well, the. The Cowboys game that Hank went to, he lit them up.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Let him up.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Lit him up.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Lit him up. Yeah. Say, do it in the NFC championship.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Do it. Yeah. Do it later in the playoffs.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, do it. Do it in a way that makes me look correct about you being not as good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Call me. You know what, Jordan Love, Call me in late January.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, there you go.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You do it then, buddy. Until then, I don't give a. Although he's really good and it's. It's bad.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'm interested.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He was. There was a chance that he was so old. He's 34, but it looks like he's going to play for a long time. Well into his 40s.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'm interested to see how the. How the Panthers do this weekend because I can't get a read on the Panthers. Can't do it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I'm going to say they're probably going to lose.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. But they've done weird. The Panthers have been a very hot and cold team this year.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, but the cold. The cold is not good.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It is cold in Green Bay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. And the. In the. On the road at home, they've looked okay at times, but they're coming off of absolute drubbing by the Bills.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So, yeah, I don't. I don't think the Panthers are going to be live here. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I. Tucker Craft again, just that stat of how many yards he has after the catch. Crazy is absolutely crazy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He's been a monster. An absolute monster. Okay, next up, Chargers. Titans. Chargers are minus nine and a half over. Under is 43 and a half. I don't Want to watch the Titans play football anymore? I said that. A lot of Titans fans agreed with me. It's a tough, tough watch. Through their first whatever, eight weeks, the Titans offense is overall 32nd run game is 30 seconds past games, 31st.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

There we go.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Something to build on.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So the Bengals, are they last?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No, no, no. This is their offense.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Oh, okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I would imagine the Raiders might be last. That seems like the Raiders. That seems like a Raiders stat.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It does, yeah. Because I feel like the Titans defense, at least up front, they're not, they're not bad. Yeah, they can be strong.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, also points. 32nd. So not good. Is Jeffrey Simmons back? No, he did not practice. That's a problem. Joe Alt on the Chargers makes the Chargers good. I know. It's not that simple. Are we worried at all about Justin Herbert going to too many games?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

He left early.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He went to the Lakers game, and then he went to the Dodgers Blue Jays game three. He left early because people were joking that he. The. The Dodgers might need him to pitch.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

He.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And then they pulled up Justin Herbert's senior season ERA, which was 0.66.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's crazy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Pretty damn good.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And I also respect the fact that he was wearing the same hat.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He wears a $40 hat and he.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Was locked in on the game. And Madison beer is really hot. Yeah, that's just Cuban. And so is Sydney Sweeney in that dress.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Anyone that, Anyone that's upset with that is what you want from your QB1.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The Sydney Sweeney dress was. I. I've never seen anything like that. I watched so many times in my life.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I, I, I know that has nothing to do with anything.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's pertinent. It's pertinent. Yeah. Please don't pull it up on this. On the screen. I can't look at that right now.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Do the one where you could.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I, I feel very inappropriate looking at that. God, it's awesome.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I would like to look at it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Like, as a man, this dress makes me feel things that I don't want to be feeling at work.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Did you see it, Hank?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Nipples.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's just, I mean, one word.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

One word. Nipples. Two of them.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Shout out. God, you've done it again, big buddy. Oh, my. That's just. Bravo.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Great job, Sydney. We're big fans of Sydney Sweeney on this podcast.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I am not a horny man. I, I wasn't. I wasn't a horny man until until now.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I'll just. I mean, we've said this before.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Zach should dater.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Dude, boobs rock.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

This is. I Mean, they fucking rock. Look at this. Incredible.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

They just rock.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's a 100 milk.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's awesome. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

How much do you think it would cost to have her do, like, a celebrity guest batch for the ice cream machine?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh. Oh. Pft.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'm just saying. I'm just saying how much.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

You just said you're not a horny. That was insane.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You actually ruined the Sydney Sweeney picture for me. I don't want to see it anymore.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I said I wanted. I said I, I was not a horny man.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I don't want to look at the picture.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Sounds so horny until just now. Yeah, I am. I am very horny. Yes. When this picture, when that dress is on the screen like that is. It is the best dress I've ever seen in my entire life. Dear God.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And you.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That was a Titans preview.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Hank, remember when you drank breast milk? That was funny. That's a throwback. Long time ago. Long.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I was like 12 years old, for the record.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

What I mean.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, yeah, you worked. Well, I, I forgot if it happened. You told the story, but it was.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

What was it again?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I was on a family trip, so we were like, we, you know, had a bunch of groceries in the fridge, and I was making, I was making cereal and I was grabbing milk and there was like, I had a little cousin that had, like a, you know, formula or breast milk in it, and I poured that in. This is disgusting. After I ate it all, my mom's.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Like, oh, no, you ate it all? Yeah. And you, the whole time, you're like, this milk doesn't taste great.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I was like, this is gross.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Again.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I was, man.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You were 11. That's fine. It probably made you stronger. Yeah. Probably made you better. The man you are today. I think the Chargers are going to win. I, I, I. Would you guys say, should we put this game on the. There's eight games early. Should we put this game on the.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Side TV side TV.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Side TV. Yeah. The Keenan Allen is 34 away from having the Chargers record for receptions, if anyone's looking for that. I know.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Great storyline. Yeah, I, Yeah, he'll probably get it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Probably get whatever they want in this game.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I would say so. And I guess the only storyline that, like this is how this game, the Titan season is, is so bad that the storyline for this game is that Mike McCoy, their interim head coach, once coached the Chargers.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. And we all remember the Mike McCoy led Chargers. It was kind of sad.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It was actually. All right, so here's low T. Here's the interesting stat. Mike McCoy was the last San Diego Chargers head coach.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, yeah, we talked about that a couple years ago. That's what we know this man from is he's the last person to coach San Diego. This man is. It's Halloween week. This. He looks like he's the slutty version of Joe Philbin. That's the nicest thing you can say about Mike McCoy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Hank, your game next. Falcons, Patriots. How we feeling right now? The Falcons are five and a half point underdogs. The over under is 44 and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I mean I'm, I'm, I'm in. I'm worried about a letdown spot but I'm, I'm over overriding that worry and, and going full confidence.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Michael Penck should be back. Kirk Cousins wants to be treated. I can't trust the Falcons at all.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

They beat the Bills not too long ago.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But it does feel like this is a, the, the, the five and a.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Half is a weird line.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's, it's a weird line and it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Also that to me that either means blowout or loss. Should we bet and I'm going blowout. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Should we bet Moneyline or Patriots minus 12 and a half?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Probably like eight, nine and a half. Blowout would be, I mean really a blow would be two touchdowns. But I feel like if we, if we have the 10 points in there, you should do nine and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I'll do nine and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Is this desperation time for the Falcons? They need to win. This is a desperate team going up to Foxborough. They have to win this game kind of to keep. Because the Bucks are on by. They're 6 and 2. If you go, if you fall to 3 and 5. The NFC south feels a little like it feels out of reach.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's out of reach.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

At that point it, it's a big game. I think that they're going to feed Bijan. I think that they should. The Patriots remember that stat, Hank, that you guys haven't allowed a 50 yard rusher this season. Is that going to continue this weekend?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I think so.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So limit Bajan. I actually, I asked Big T this earlier as a Falcons fan, tell me what you guys think. Would you trade Bijan Robinson for Sean McVeigh?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Sean McVeigh, head coach. I feel like that's the biggest no brainer of all time. He said no I would because the Falcons are always going to be the Falcons and at least now I get to watch Bishop.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Sean McVeigh, it could coach, you'd have to you'd have to. I would say yes. As long as Sean McVay agreed that he cannot retire.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Right.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

For like a decade.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I would say like seven to 10 years.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Of Sean McVay, that seems like the easiest. No brainer.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. I do it. Hank, would you like to stay humble about the Patriots?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay. Well, Drake May is. So you should probably take his lead.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yes, he should.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He said on remaining humble. He just tries to stick to his routine. He's got a pretty. I've got a pretty tight circle in my life, so just keep on talking to those people. Don't lose sight of putting in the work throughout the week to have that show up on Sundays. You would not like to follow his lead and be humble. Be humble. Nah. Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Because. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No, I want to give you the opportunity.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I'm happy he. I'm happy my quarterback's like that. I am not the quarterback.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think that's, that's.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I'm a fan.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's a correct mentality.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, let. Let him do that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Gillette's gonna be rocking. I, I enjoyed seeing a lot of the Patriots players were. Were, you know, because last four years they haven't been great. There's been some somewhat decent games, but again, in. In New England, it's like championship or bust. The crowd hasn't been insane. Last week was the first time, like they experienced a crowd that is really excited and they were pumped up about that. And I think, you know, obviously coming off that win, it's going to be even crazier this Sunday. So I'm, I think. I think it's going to be a blowout.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'm so glad that football is back in New England.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Like, that was, that was a tough couple years.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

It really was.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Hank said, rebuilding his heart.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. It is you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

It looks like, mentally, it's like I don't, It's. You don't even want to watch football.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Right. It may. It takes.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You don't even watch football. Exactly.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You. You associate.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

But then when you're good, it's like, there's nothing more exciting than Sunday.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Now you love all football.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You're back in on football.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Well, you got to see. It's like, are we going to play this team in the playoffs? We're going to play this team in the Super Bowl.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Where are we at?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So that's how you're watching these games.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You're going for six straight right now. Do you know how many winning streaks of six games or more the Patriots have had this millennium since the year.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

2000, I would guess six or more nine.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You've had 15 of those wins.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Because I guess it was probably years where they had six lost and then went six again.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. And it. So this would be your six thinking.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

One year, but that's. There's definitely been probably multiple times within that they've had six in the same season.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

This would be your 16th winning streak.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I also had a 23 in there.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

That's awesome.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, it is. It's really. It's.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I'm.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'm. I'm so happy for you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Thank you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Are you feeling better about your super bowl bet?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah, way better.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

How many more years does you have on that?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Two more years. Yeah. This year and next year, right?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah, we. We did some trades this year. We got a lot of room. I think we're going to make a move before the deadline. Things are. Things are looking up.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

What move would you like to see?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I don't know. I think Variable's going to go defense. We. The moves we made were defensive, and we, you know, got rid of some defensive contracts for Able's a defensive coach. So my gut tells me, like, he's going to go defense. And I trust Vrabel. I'm not. I'm not smart enough to be a gm. Invalu you trust, but in Variable, we trust.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, Next game. Giants niners. Niners are minus two and a half over unders 48 and a half. That's your dog. I kind of like that one. That's the dog. That's a. That's every dog alarm. Yeah, I like that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's also the New York Giants wearing the throwback uniforms. Love it. Which is. That's got to be worth three points. Love it. Love it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Have you. I. I read an article that Cam Scatterbo has just been wheeling around the Giants facility after having surgery earlier this week. He's definitely gonna try to play with one leg. They're gonna have to keep him out of, like, you know that he's not someone who can be like, all right, I guess I'm not gonna be here.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Oh, wait.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Those are the throwbacks. Don't love it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I heard that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Don't love it. I thought you were saying throwbacks from, like, the 80s.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I don't think this.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I heard that they were gonna wear this in that. I heard that they were gonna wear the Giants ones that say Giants are sick on the helmet.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yes. Those are the helmets they should always wear.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Come on, Matt.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I mean, I just searched Giants uniform.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I don't even know if this is Giants throwback. But you don't think they're even doing it?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No, I'm telling you, it's the Giants with the Giants on the side. Yeah, it's the good ones.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I. I love those helmets. Those helmets are awesome. They should never wear another helmet.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That helmet is. So that helmet is going to be at midfield.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. It's gonna rock.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

It's this one.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, it's this one.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. With Cam. Scatter. Boo. I. I am not surprised at all at the fact that he's, like, treating it like it's Mario Kart. He's probably got three balloons tied to the back of it. He's just running into people.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. He's like, hey, coach, let me just. Can I at least go practice squad with my scooter?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And need to do it. Any fallout, Max, from Hank basically besmirching Big Dom?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I got.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I got.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

So can I before Max speaks? Because I. I was thinking about this, actually, in the shower.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, you were thinking about Big Dom?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah, it hit me. No, I was talking about Max because I. I think I read.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, you're thinking about Max while naked.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

This is based off of a. A subtle chirp I made off camera because I know this podcast. I know we have relationships.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I know.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

But I'm saying, like, I don't. I. I would not jeopardize relationships on this podcast. I made a joke internally. Max then brought it to the podcast publicly and forced me to say what I said. I would have never said that publicly, but.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But we're not going to jeopardize because we pft. Myself and Max, we love Big Dom with all of our hearts, so there's no, like. Yeah. Could you be wearing cement shoes? Fine. I don't care.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Also, was that. That was never brought. That was never public.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

No.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

What was the original comment?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

He's doing it all for show.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Oh, but that was like.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I. I could have swore that you said that on this show.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

No, we were. I think it was on Grit Week. I don't know where it was. It might. It was either Grit Week or the Super Bowl. It might have been the Super Bowl.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It might have been in your sleep that you said it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

No, but I just know that it, like, hit me. I was like, I don't know why Max, like, made this public. Like, obviously, once he did. I'm not going to back down. But I also was not trying to, like.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I. I could have swore that you. That. That Was a public take.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So really, it's Max's fault.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yes, it's Max's fault.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Max.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You. Max screwed Max.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

You guys are.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, Max, it sounds like it's your fault for making Hank say his memes.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Gonna find memes on the case. Memes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No, I think, Max, if Hank told you that off the air, I. I completely would agree with you being like, hey, what about that take that you told me about? Big Dom?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Hank should have never told you that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Correct. That was. That was.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You saying you. You. You going after Big Dom to Max, private or public? Is public.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Hank, you can say that to us. And we probably wouldn't bring.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Oh, you guys were. We were all there.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, but.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, you knew that Max is wearing water.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Were we all. Were we all sitting in this room with microphones in front of us?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

No, we are sitting in New Orleans with microphones.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No, wait, so you said this when we. After we met Big Dom and he.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Oh, my God, now you're. You're digging yourself a bigger hole. I don't.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I don't give a.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

About the hole I'm digging myself. I'm just saying, like, I disavow. I would have known again, like, I.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Don'T know this guy because my brother.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Told me, texted me on. On Wednesday morning and was like, Hank actually crossed the line.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I guess I knew Henry Lockwood, but.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

We weren't particularly close in passing.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I might have. I might have shared a meal with him one time, but I. No, I didn't know him like that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Hank Luckwood. This is a first time hearing of that name.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Memes is on the hunt right now. He thinks that this has been public before.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

What. What else is new?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

What game?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

What game did Big Dom.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The Ners.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Ners? No, the Washington Commanders.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Zach Erz fight. Remember Nick Sirianni handshake? Oh, yeah, that would be.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And then Big Dom was just in.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The picture, and I think that's when Hank said it, maybe. Was that. Was that the Thursday night game last year? Was that the.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I know what I said in reference November.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It was.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

It was. It was off air, so I'm not going to bring it on air, but it was a ridiculous statement by Big Dom.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Okay, well, just to be clear, all.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I said was that was ridiculous. What a. Like, what a ridiculous person?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

When I met Big, I did not take a mental log of every word that he said. I did. We did not record him. I was having no part in that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Nope.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

My only takeaway was that Big Dom was nothing but a perfect Gentleman in our encounter. And I have nothing but the utmost respect for. I respect him too.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

That's why I feel like I'm not. Like I'm not.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I'm not.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I am not trying to be.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Don't use the R word because you don't mean it. And. And when I met Big Dom, I. What did I tell you, Max? What was my reaction? My. My off. My off camera reaction to.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I think you said you were willing to trade valuable players of the Commanders for Big.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. I'm so upset that Big Dom is in the division because I love him so much. And it. It's. I hate having him working with a team that's directly opposed to mine. I respect the fuck out of Big Dom.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah. No, Hank just likes to be contrarian. That's. That's what it is. Everyone likes Big Dom. And you're like, I don't like that everyone likes Big Dom.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Dead wrong.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Was it?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

But whatever. I don't really care either way.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You've crossed the line that you can never come back from.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah, I'll never. I guess I won't be going to Phil anytime soon. Oh, no.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Would you like to apologize to my brother?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Your brother.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Hank stands on business. This game. Is Brock Purdy gonna play? I think maybe.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think. Yeah, I think. And I think. Is Ricky Pearsall gonna play?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I. I think.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Okay. Yeah. That's kind of where I'm at with this too.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Let me see. I'm gonna look up their injury report. I. I like. I. I agree with you, Hank. I kind of like the Giants in this game. Hungry dog.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I think people are making two. Obviously Scatter Boo's a big loss, but I think they're making too big a deal of it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Scatter boost.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Brock Purdy comes back. I almost think that's better.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think Scatterboot is probably volunteering to be like, can I do scout team? Can I be like scout team? Chris McCaffrey.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Let me help out any way I can.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Looking up the injury report. I don't see it. Go ahead.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think I. I think I like the Niners in this game. I think. But for me right now, it's not knowing about Brock Purdy and not knowing about Ricky Pierce. All if both of those guys are playing. I think I like the 49ers, but if one of the two of them isn't, then it's like, I probably won't bet this game.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I'm gonna probably bet this game because it's on. If we're just being honest, Right now.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Well, I'll do like the over under.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I'm just. Yeah, it's gonna. It's gonna probably happen. Can someone find that? All right, wait. I got it. Brock Purdy. Where is he? Where is he? Brock Purdy limited in practice. So he's practicing. So that's good. Okay, I guess. And then what was your other question? Ricky Pierce did not practice.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That was Wednesday's report. We don't have Thursday's report yet. Okay, that comes out a little bit later.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The Falcons should trade Kirk Cousins to the Niners.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I think Kirk Cousins gonna go back to the Vikings depending on how J.J. mcCarthy plays this week.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, I mean, the Vikings had Kirk Cousins, they had Sam Darnold, they had Daniel Jones.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Jackson Dart, by the way, said that in the QB room, it feels like he has two big brothers. He definitely likes James as his big brother more. Yeah, that's like. That's two brothers and you're. You have a favorite.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think it's more like step brothers where Jamis is obviously the step. Huh.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Why step brothers?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Well, I was going to explain like the movie step brothers.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Oh.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Where if he's John C. Reilly, then Jamis would be Will Ferrell and then the older brother, that's the accountant or whatever that's got the family. That's Russell Wilson.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

That makes sense.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Why did. Why were you so curious to know.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Which I just was. I guess I should have let you finish.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. He's a brother that stepped up. That's James.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. I like the Giant. I just don't know where the Niners defense is. Just. It's not good.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No, it is really banged up.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And the Giants, it would be so. I mean, if the Giants still had Scatterbo and Malik Neighbors, this, this team would be a true fun watch.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Must watch.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Okay, here's a must watch team. The Colts, who are the best team in football versus the Steelers, who are desperate for a win. The Colts right now are sitting at minus three. Over. Under is 50 and a half. The Colts are so, so good. Their offense is absolutely electric. They are like. They're just well rounded all the way through. Daniel Jones ranks in quarter.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

He's.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He's first in everything in the AFC South. That's. That's a given. They're going to win the AFC South. Shane Steichen feels like maybe coach of the year.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Right. And I don't really like. The Colts are just really, really good. They've scored 270 points with a plus 116 point differential through eight games. Since the 1970 merger, the quarterbacks to accomplish this feat are Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, John Elway, and now Daniel Jones. Yeah, what a, what a grouping.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And if you look at the breakdown of when those points get scored, they, I think they only have a plus 5 point differential in the fourth quarter. So they take their foot off the gas too, at the end. It could be even bigger than that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Well, did you see Shane Psych and actually had an interview that was interesting. He, he was talking about taking the ball first because a lot of teams will defer. And he said, yeah, we like to take the ball first, we like to score seven and then just puts all the pressure on the other team. And they've done that. Yeah, like that, that's kind of what they've been doing is just putting all the pressure on them.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And this is like Belichick saying, I like to get the, I like to defer and then I get, like to score. Get the ball at halftime and then score again. Yeah, I think every other football coach out there is like, yeah, we should do it. The Belichick, we should do that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The middle eight is important. The only thing I could say for this game in defense of the Steelers is one, this does feel like the desperate Tomlin needs a win if they're, if they have anything left in the Tomlin Steelers Mojo where they win these type. This is the game because they lost it on Sunday. This is the game as underdogs at home. And the other thing, and this is a minor thing, this is the Colts first game on with some like kind of bad weather and, and I, I don't know how the weather's actually going to be on on Sunday in Pittsburgh. But the field is obviously always a mess. They've played in domes. I think their only other road game was in Tennessee in September, which is, you know, field turf. I'm trying to think where else they. I, I think everything else has been in dose because they played against the Chargers in a dome. They played against the Rams in a dome. They play in a dome. So is there anything to be said for their offense playing on artificial turf in controlled environments? Could they be slowed down a little bit? I don't know. I'm just throwing out thought starters.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, it's a good thought. It's a good thought to have the Sealers defense looks so bad though. I'm not sure if it matters where they play this game.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I agree.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You're right about the Mike Tomlin that we tried to time the Mike Tomlin Thing because last week felt like the Mike Tomlin game.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Where everyone's so down on them after what happened against the Bengals. And then you try to time that out. Didn't hit last week. But much like daylight savings time, we're just going to repeat that. It's going to happen this upcoming weekend. And it feels I, I could see it happening.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I could definitely see with the Steelers being like ironically a very desperate team right now, even though in the division they. If you just looked at the records, you'd be like, okay, Steelers are going to run away with this.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

But nobody's actually, no one's thinking that because they see the Ravens. We don't happen. We don't know what happened on Thursday night. But it does feel like the Steelers are just like teetering right now and if they lose a couple more games, everything could just fall apart.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

According to Shane Steichen, the records are actually 0 and 0. He said the. The season doesn't start until November and December.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So it is 00.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's a good mentality.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yep. The. If the season ended though, right now the Steelers would have the worst defense, total defense rank in franchise history. They're 30th right now. The second lowest was 28th in 1988. That's pretty crazy. We also had a really bad chart go out over the week which was the. Which teams go for it when they should chart. And the Steelers are. They have gone for it five times. They have a 0% added win probability. They just don't go for it when they should.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It makes sense if you've watched.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's a whole lot. Did you see the chart?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I have not seen the chart, but I can tell you from watching Mike Tomlin this year, it's as bad as it's ever been.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's. And like teams go for it when they should.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Aaron Rodgers getting upset at Mike Thomas seems to have no effect on Mike Tomlins decisions.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, it's just this is, this is the frustrating thing to watch a Steelers game. He's just going to punt in every fourth day. He. He basically coaches like it's still 1985. I don't know if you can find it. I'll try to. Whatever. It's a bad chart. The Steelers are at the very, very bottom and it's not even close to bottom. They're just the worst team by far in all of this stuff.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So one unofficial metric that I've been looking at is, is the desperate renegades that they're playing in Pittsburgh. They're playing Renegade earlier and earlier in the fourth quarter this year because they feel like they have to get it out there because the game might get away from them by the end. So you'd have a Renegade and you just, you'd waste it if you were, you know, losing by 14 points with 2 minutes left or 3 minutes left in the game. They're playing Renegade. I think they played it with about 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter and then everyone was like, oh, are we going to get double Renegade?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Y.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Is this just the first? Because it's so early and. No, they just get single Renegade. But they feel like they have one in their pocket. They have to burn it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I saw, I saw the take from Max is not gonna be able to find it. It's fine. It's fine. Max is not a, a Google guy.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Not a research guy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He's not a research guy. I, I saw the take. I think it was actually from Jerry's co host on the Steel Here podcast, Kevin. He said that he thinks they should stop playing Renegade because all it does is pump up the other team.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I disagree with that. But I, I would agree, Steelers fan, I would agree with them saying there it is. Take Renegade away because you have to exact. You have to earn the privilege to have Renegade played. And this defense is unrenegatable.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Okay, here it is. Look at this. It's an insane chart to look at and just seeing how backwards the Steelers are when it comes to going for it when they should and trying to add win probability that they are just not doing shout out.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The Raiders, though.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, Raiders go for it. Raiders. Yeah, the Lions go for it. The Raiders go for it. But yeah, the Steelers are basically not even on the chart.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So a couple other things about this game. One, have you seen some of the screenshots of the Colts offensive line?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I saw one chart the other day that was awesome.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No, a screenshot of like the holes. No, because I think.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

This, this to me, I saw. This is hole of the year.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

New award in the takeies Hole of the year.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You can put. A truck could go through a truck.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Could drive through that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And it is, it's so I actually think that any of us in this room could have gotten a three yard gain on that carry. They. They're just moving dudes on the offensive line.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And yeah, the Colts offense is. It's just like a complete machine right now. And then the second thing is that Carly Ursay seems like she is maybe the best owner in sports.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, she's awesome.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

She is listening to her talk because she did shout out to her for doing questions with the media. I feel like every owner, it should be mandated.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

As a matter of fact, I know Jerry Jones gives away for free, but it should be mandated that every owner after every game, has to sit up there and answer questions about their team, just like the coaches, just like the players do. And she was talking about why she gets on the headset, what she's learning. She seems like she might be a fucking genius.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

She's. She's the best.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We also need to buy some Jim Merced guitars.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. So that was gonna be my fire fest.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay. All right. So we'll save it for that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We also had the Pittsburgh radio host got his nipples pierced, which we all expected. He looked like the happiest guy ever.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He loved it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He loved it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He's like, oh, no.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Loved.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

No.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I. The. The. The. The Colts offensive line is so good that I saw this visualization where it was basically EPA added depending on where you run the football. So it was like outside the tackle, in between the tackle and guard. So some. A lot of teams were, you know, oh, they run it left, it's negative epa. They run it right, it's positive epa. The Colts were just positive EPA all over the place, everywhere. It was insane.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

There's no way you're going to find this chart match. Max, it's fine. I explained it. Max Googling is shout. Zach. He got that last one. Okay, let's keep moving. Broncos at Texans. This is a sneaky. This would be a good game. Yeah, I. I'm excited to watch this game.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think it's going to be. This is going to be a throwback game.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

If you like awesome defense.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. So Texas are minus one and a half over unders 39 and a half. Oh, he found it. Look at you, Max. How cool is this chart? I fucking love charts. Zoom in on the Colts. I love charts. So you can see in. In this chart, shout out Ray Carpenter. I don't know. Can we put these kind of stuff in YouTube if we shout them out? Yeah. All right, so put it in the YouTube. Yeah. Everyone please subscribe to the YouTube. We. We actually get some of these graphics in there. Ray Carpenter does a great job. I. I just, like, happened to see it and then. And make sure you put in Sydney Sweeney, too. Yeah. No, this is the most. Max, please close out just like this is what we are on the computer right now. If you're listening just to the podcast on the Computer that PFT and I have a look. There's a monitor in front of us that Max controls. It's just a chart with where you run the football man stuff and Sydney Sweeney's tits.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And also in the chart, it's dumbed down for us to the point of it's like red and green depending on if something is good or bad. And the Colts are just all green.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Look at that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So I understand that to be like, that's a good rushing attack.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Every single. Every single place they run the ball, they do it well.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And then I see Cindy Sweeney to the side.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And then I'm. I'm all green.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Green.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. All good. Like.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Like my personal chart looks like the Colts chart right now. My spray, not my spray chart, but you know what I'm saying?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Just.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. This is. Stop talking moment.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay. The. The Texans and Broncos. Texas minus one and a half over under 39 and a half. Is this a hungry dog? I think the Broncos are going to win this game. I do too.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It seems like a sucker.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Seems like a sucker hungry dog.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Well, I think the, the one concern and we're going to get to this with baldy is Patrick Strattan being out definitely makes me a little nervous, but I'm going off of the same reasoning I had last week that had me bet the Texans when they play pass rushes that are not good, they are going to do okay. When they play pass rushes that are good, Broncos are one of them. They're going to struggle. So I'm going to take the Broncos defense. Now this also does feel like walking into a Broncos finally put four quarters together trap and they're going to revert back to the fuck around for three quarters and hope they can win the game. Well, but I'm going to take the Broncos.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. So, yeah, since that, since that 26 to 8 lead that the Giants had, the Broncos have outscored their opponents 69 to 31. So that might have been like a turning point for him. But I do think that both these defenses are. Are very, very good. And I think that the Texans defense is going to frustrate the Broncos offense. I think the Broncos defense is going to frustrate the absolute out of the Texans defense. So I agree. I like, I like the Broncos in this game a lot, but I don't particularly love this to be a lot of points. I think the over under would you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Say 39 and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So yeah, yesterday I, I put in the bet. Like a. Remind me of this. I don't want to have to wake up on Sunday and, and remember to bet the under, but I'm taking the under in this game.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay. The Mercedes Lewis, by the way, signed with the Broncos. He's 41 years old.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He's going to catch like three touchdowns.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's awesome. Yeah, he, and he was telling a funny story that he said when he was a rookie. Fred, Fred Taylor said on his first practice practice ever with the Jaguars, Fred Taylor said to him, if you block like that, you're going to play a long time in this league.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Love that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He knew this was like, yeah, this is why I'm still here. I could block the hell out of the position.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He already knew.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Okay, let's see. Next up we have a game I actually kind of forgot existed and I sat down to do the pro football football show with Fred Smoot and Jon Gruden and I looked at it. I was like, oh, shit, this game is happening. So we maybe don't have to spend that much time on it. It's the Jaguars and the Raiders.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

They're playing.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

They're playing the Jaguars and the Raiders are playing a game on Sunday that I don't have any interest in watching, but it will be on because there's only three games in the afternoon. The Jaguars and the Raiders. The Raiders are 2 1/2 point underdogs. The over unders 44 and a half. Both teams are on a buy. So you have that weird like, oh, we forgot they are still around. But they are still around. I don't know.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, so I, I don't know.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Brock Bowers is back.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I was talking about this game on Wednesday, I think, and I said out loud, I said Pete Carroll after a buy and like that meant something. It just sounded like it would mean something. And then you look it up and Pete Carroll is 8 and 10 after a buy. So not a. He's not a buy guy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And The Jaguars are 3 and 7 after the buy in the last 10 years.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

But are these the same old Jags?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I think so.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think these Jags are a little bit better.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I think they're a little bit better. You're right. Yeah. Okay, let's, let's, let's sell this game. Whoever loses this game is going to be feeling really bad. Really bad. Like if the Jaguars lose this game, they're going to be feeling really bad.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

But it's, they're both teams. It's like if they lose this game, they're, this is back to what they know.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, true. And the Raiders are Kind of in what they know right now, they're just not good. And maybe Gino will do better off of a buy.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Tyler Lockett's on the Raiders now.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Tyler Locke, that's big. There's big reunion.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Carol Geno Smith, Tyler Lockett, he's one of his best friends.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Get Marshawn back there too.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That might make him feel happy.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. So Brock Bowers, would you say about him, he's back. Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. That's you. That's you.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yes. That's okay. We're going to see how many different ways the Raiders can get the ball to Brock Bowers this week.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

There's also some weird Brian Thomas trade noise. Yeah, I, that would be kind of weird if they traded him. They just drafted him.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It would be very strange.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He is good. He just needs to catch the ball over the middle.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I wonder, like a lot of distractions in Vegas. We'll see if, if he has a, if he has a good game this weekend. I might be buying back in on Brian Thomas.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I'm not, I'm not selling on Brian Thomas right now. I guess it depends on what the haul would be. But I, I, I would want a Brian Thomas on my team going forward.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Liam Cohen has put a ban on any, any players on the team from going to a casino, even, even having dinner at a casino. So I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Probably a good thing. Are they staying in a casino?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I doubt it. Yeah, I doubt it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But also, kind of every hotel in Las Vegas is a casino.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

There's some great restaurants in Las Vegas that are in casinos and the, the Jaguars won't be allowed to eat at any of them.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So it's a ban.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think that's why it might be a bad thing. Like if you're an offensive lineman, you go to Vegas and your coach is like, you cannot go to the Wynn buffet. That's got to be a big time bummer.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, you gotta, you gotta just get every, you got to just rent out the wind buffet for the whole team.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And be like, this is how we're going to do it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yep. Shot. Khan should just purchase the win. Close down the casino for, for one night.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And be like, okay, boys, you can hit the buffet and then sell it back.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Must win game.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Do it. Shot.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay. The other. Before we get to the game of the week, the other afternoon game. Ram Saints. Saints are going with Tyler Shuck. Rams are off a by Puka's back. Rams are going to kill him we're.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Not believing in Tyler Schuck on this podcast.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I. I don't. I. I'm ambivalent.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I want. I want Tyler Schuck to. I'm going to make you prove it to me, buddy. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Prove it to us, buddy.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Come on, buddy. Otherwise, listen, if Tyler Schuck has. I'm gonna say it. If he throws three picks, I'm gonna say, bring back Spencer Rattler.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Three picks is my line.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. By the way, Matthew Stafford also left the game early on Tuesday night. Was it Tuesday night? Yeah, Tuesday night. No, Monday night. Monday night. And then he said that he got.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

He drove.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He left in the 10th, drove home and still got to watch a good amount there. Sounds like he didn't stay up.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Wow, wow, wow.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You have no reason not to stay up if you're in the West Coast. The game ended at midnight.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Not that bad.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's ridiculous.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Well, unless if you're dating Madison Beard, then you can. You can leave.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You can leave.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Do you know how old Tyler Shuck is?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He's, like, 29.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He's 26.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Yeah. Not good for a rookie quarterback.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. The next Brandon Whedon.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

What they're calling him.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Don't let him near any big flags.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Getting stuck. That's still. It's just. That's something that. When I'm, like, 80 years old in a nursing home, I'll just be sitting and someone be like, why are you laughing? Like, I was just thinking about Brandon Whedon getting stuck under that big flag.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Pretty patriotic. Yeah. Well, now I think that when the Saints and the Rams play, they should. They should always have to play in New Orleans.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Just so that the. The Superdome crowd can remind the world. And Sean McVeigh about that pass interference. Yes.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yes. Okay. Game of the week, Bills plus two and a half at home against the Chiefs over Unders 52 and a half. Now our guy Maxi has won the DraftKings. Game of the week bonus bet. $10,000 bonus bet. You will be on stream with your $10,000 bonus bet. What are you going to bet?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I don't know. It's going to be a parlay for sure. What?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Hank's got to leave. He doesn't want to hear you win. He literally is leaving the minute. The minute we talk about Max doing. Getting something nice. Hank just like, I gotta go.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Sprinted out of the room.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That was crazy.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He definitely said a lot of. About Big Dog.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Memes Is on the hunt right now, by the way. Yeah, he has all of the.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's very powerful weapons.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

So you agree that you. That you think he said that publicly?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I think it was just one of those, like you guys were talking highly of him and he just. It was one of those disagree to.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, disagree. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Did that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Whatever.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

We love Big Dom in this room right now. Yeah, no, I'm gonna do a little parlay. I feel like you don't get a chances to win like big money like that very often. So you get. I want. I need to be a little risky with it. Not super risky. A little risky with it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Are you leaning though? Tell us what type of game you're leaning because obviously you have to build it off of, hey, I think the. The Bills are going to win. Hey, I think the Chiefs are going, Hey, I think it's going to be high scoring. Hey, I think it's be low scoring. What. What are you building it off of?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

You're thinking way more than I'm thinking about that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Well, that's how you start. Like, you can't. You can't do like a bunch of overs and touchdowns and then be like. Well, I actually really like the under.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I. What I've been looking is. It is. I. I don't know. I like. I like Kareem Hunt. If Isaiah Pacheco is not playing that. That has been. I'm looking at number. I'm looking at numbers right now and looking at what numbers stick out to me. And I've seen. I don't know. I don't know what I'm thinking. It's. I just found out about this like 20 minutes before we started recording, so I haven't been able to really, really dive into it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

What. What is.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, we're done talking about Max's bonus bet so Hank can come back in the room.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

What is James Cook's over under for.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

That game a lot?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Is it super high?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

But like, I'm worried about like a huge rushing. I'm worried about a huge rushing over in case it gets in, like, in case the Bills go down early and then the script. Although I guess I'm kind of thinking that way for both sides.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You're thinking. You're thinking both sides of every bet right now.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, I'm thinking of like the worst case scenario of like everything that I place.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, you're caught in a giant sandwich, right?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, like, I like, you know what I mean? Like, if the Chiefs go up early and they have to abandon the run, like Then you're. Then I'm just dead, like right from the start.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

What about the, what about the Bills tight ends?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I like the Bills tight ends. The problem with the Bills tight ends is that they have like all of them that look exactly the same.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I don't want to bet. I don't want to be in a situation.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Where I'm going to cheer for, for fake Dalton Kincaid.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That is an issue. Yes.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I thought about. I'm thinking, I'm thinking. And every one of those. None of it seems, none of it makes me comfortable.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He's already.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You're. You're. Max, don't take this the wrong way, but you, you are one of those guys. No, I wasn't gonna say dumb. I was gonna say when you think too much, it, there's, it goes backwards.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, agreed.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

There's the return on. The ROI goes down when you start thinking too much.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Agreed. Yeah. I mean it, cook. To get 100. 100 plus yards is plus 115.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Okay. What about, what about Khalil Shakir? What about his receptions?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Reception? Like these are the things that are good.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

But then, but hey.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So let's talk about the game real quick. Mahomes against Allen in the playoffs. Mahomes wins. In the regular season, Josh Allen wins.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He's four and one. Josh.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, he's four and one. And then.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I like the Bills in this game. I like the Bills in this game.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I do.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, the Bills, the Chiefs do look like they're the best team. Well, no, the Colts are the best team in football. They're going to win the suit. The Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl. They. Mahomes talked about it. He said, talking about last year because they were 15 win team. He said, I know the record's not as good, but it's a lot more fun. And I feel like you can feel that by watching the Chiefs. They're having a lot of fun. Things are clicking. Their defense looks good. Their offense looks really good. Are the Bills going to have enough defense in this game?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I don't know. I.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's the biggest.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think that they should just based off history, I feel like they should because the regular season, that's the big difference between the regular season Chiefs Bills matchups and the playoff Chiefs Bills matchups. In the regular season, their defense has been much better than in the playoffs. I would say. I would say I would lean to the Bills too.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. James Cook is averaging six yards per carry. Pretty, pretty good.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Now do you think, as some have said, that the Commanders might have given a blueprint on how to beat the Chiefs based on their first half. The first. Especially the first quarter. But yeah, the first half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I'm going to say no.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Patrick Mahomes two interceptions.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's true.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Where they both.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

At least one was tipped.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

One was tipped.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Some are saying blueprint, though.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Blueprint.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Holding seven points in the first half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, I. You know what? No, I'm gonna change my opinion to yes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No, it's okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You said. I forgot the two interceptions. Two interceptions is a. Didn't baldy say. I think he said it was first time. Two interceptions.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The first quarter Ever happened.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Ever happened.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Ever happened.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's blueprint. But you didn't win the game. That's the only problem with the blueprint.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, but you just got to do the first quarter for four quarters. That's what a blueprint.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That would have just gone to overtime.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's. No.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

On defense, what was the score after the first quarter? Z00.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'm saying.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's what I'm saying. That it would just go to overtime.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No, but I'm saying the blueprint is the. The defensive blueprint on offense, you do. You do your own thing on offense.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You got to score off the turnover. Yeah. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The Bills have their own blueprint for offense. This is a defensive blueprint for beat the Chiefs.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You know what? You've sold me on the blueprint.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Makes sense.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You sold me on the blueprint. I'm very excited for this game.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Because it's just. And it's weird because if you're the Bills, obviously you want to win this game very badly. Seating could come into play later. But it does suck for the Bills going to this game knowing that even if you win, it's like the Chiefs are like, well, we'll see in January. And we know how that goes. They got a. Bill's got to beat him in the playoffs before this. This matters.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. The Chiefs unfortunately do have like the best offense in the NFL.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And it's just so many guys, they just have dudes everywhere.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Who just catch the ball and they just keep running. And Mahomes. Mahomes, I feel like averages like 50 yards rushing a game. It's crazy. All right, last game. Your game. PFT. Seahawks minus three. Over. Under is 47 and a half. How are you feeling? Ooh, dog.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You're gonna dog us.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I like that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I mean, I was just gonna. I was gonna focus in on two things. Very important to this game. Okay. One is the uniforms that the commanders are going to wear. I love them, the Commander's uniforms. This weekend when we did the. The rankings of the worst uniforms in sports or in the NFL and the commanders were dead last, I agreed with that. I said, yes, you are correct. But they are unveiling their new throwbacks, which will be awesome. So they're going to wear these on Sunday night and they are almost identical to the old Redskins uniforms, the home whites. And there's going to be a different helmet, too. I think Josh Harris is going to put that out and everybody's going to say, why don't you wear these uniforms every game? And then I think Josh Harris is going to say, yes, you're correct. These are now our new uniforms that we're going to wear. I'm very focused on that. The other thing I'm focused on is I. I didn't tell this story on, on Tuesday, on Wednesday is part of my take. But when I was at the game, after the game was over, I was in my seats getting ready to leave. And then who walks up to the area that I'm sitting in but Tress way the punter for the Commanders. Tressway has been an awesome punter, one of the best, I'd say top two or three in the league for the last 10 or so years. He was walking over towards me and I was like, oh, maybe Tress has come to say hi.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

But.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

But he stopped about 10 yards from me and he just had like three game balls that he just walked up and handed to little kids that were in the front row, gave him to the kids and turned around, walked away. Didn't think anybody was noticing anybody was looking at him. I just want to say round of applause for Tressway, an allstar punter and an all star human being.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

You're going to put yours in the studio.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, that was.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No, that was good. That was good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Hey.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Hey.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Henry.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That was good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Hank's back.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Hanks back. So that's my analysis of the Washington commanders right now. Jayden Daniels is back.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Are you a little worried about the throwback uniform being against also the Seahawks throwback uniform, which is awesome.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I did not stop to think about if it was going to be a throwback off.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It is a throwback.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I was controlling what I could control. Yes, I can control what I can control.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But now you got to be ready for their counter punch, which is a good counter punch because it is their throwbacks, which are so sick. It's gonna be awesome. Uniform game.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, it's gonna be a great uniform game. I Listen, I did not.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I'm sorry I didn't think about be the bear.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The opposite side of that coin. But. But everything I said about our uniform stands my.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You know what I want to say. Hand up. That was bad friend move. I should have asked you beforehand if you were in a headspace to receive some tough information that you're in a. Sir, you're in a throwback off.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And I'm. I'm not in the correct headspace to receive that because now I'm like, oh, but I don't know. This seems like it's now or never for the commanders and. And Jaden being back. The offense should look a lot better. Hopefully the defense can improve with that too, because we'll be able to play some complimentary football and get them off the field a little bit. Terry being out is. Is a bummer because obviously we saw what he did when he was in against the Chiefs, which is he just made catches that were so spectacular they had to keep getting challenged to get overturned.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So I'm. I'm bummed out about Terry not being out there. I also saw a graph. Hank, I know you're really into grass talk. If you look at the. Actually search for this graph, Max. Oh, no, no, it's not bad for you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

No.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's just so much searching.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

The searching is tough. Hank's right.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Hank's right. Okay. If you just search for. Look for Daniel's. Daniel's first read and then latest. Click on latest. That. Yeah, there's a graph right there. So this is quarterback efficiency throwing beyond the first read. Non first read throws, minimum of 150 drop backs. This is just this season. So this doesn't. This doesn't include last year's stats at all. Number one by far is Patrick Mahomes. That's not a. Not a big surprise. Number two, Jaden. I did not. I did not realize that he was going to be so high up on this list. So I'm. Now I'm. I'm excited because I get to see a graph that makes me happy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

It's a pointless graph.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Why?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Because Drake May's not in the top. Right. That's pretty much my. How I look at graphs when I see one of these.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. So it doesn't count.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

It's just.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah, it's just. Just cheated data.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think that's a great graph. I. I think that this is. I kind of feel the same way about graphs that don't have Jaden Daniels in that spot. So we got a graph off.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, we have a good old fashioned.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Graph off, but that I'm looking for a little bit of, of hope and happiness in the season.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I just want Jaden Daniels to start playing again.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Because I'm, I, I, I think I'm done with Marcus Mariota.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, I think I might be done with him too. And when Jaden's been on the field this year, with the exception of the packers game, he still looked really, really good. And the, the less he plays, the more people start to forget that. And so I'm just hoping that he, I, I hope that we get to watch some exciting football on Sunday night for America.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Yeah, I would like exciting football. The Seahawks are good, man. Yeah, they're really good. And remember, Mike McDonald on the road is a beast. Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And I'm, I'm worried about JSN going up against Lattimore.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Now.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I saw that Lattimore was in a trade rumor to go to the Bears.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I saw that. I don't want it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You disavow.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I don't. I mean it'd be just another Dennis Allen. I, we need, we need bodies, but I don't. The Bears have a lot of things they need to fix. I don't really want to give up draft picks. You don't have a lot of. You need draft picks.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I would be okay with you taking Lattimore.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You guys have, I think, was it two, three picks in the first five rounds?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That sounds right.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. So, yeah. You, you want draft picks?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

We do want draft picks. I think there's, there's a chance that he does get traded again.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That would be, Would he get a video if he came back of.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. All the past interferences? Yeah, that'd be a great, It'd be a long video.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, let's do our, let's start with Jerry's fantasy minute. Jerry has been living at Dodger Stadium. Love that. I also, we PFT and I were privy to a rumor that Jerry might be going to Toronto for Game 6, which, that's pretty funny, but let's do.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Kelsey, just simple.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, yeah. Pft. Would you like to pick someone from your game? No.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'd like to abstain from the late game. Stink from that game.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The late games do stink.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

But.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But the night game should be good. If you don't want to. Do you want me to. But no, I can't pick a Seahawk in your face.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You can. You can do whatever you want. I'm looking. They do stink.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

People are going to score, though.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Puka, you want to go?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Puka, you want. Go Puka.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

What's Puka at right now? Probably pretty bad.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Minus one. Puka, you want to go to Puka?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Minus 130. Yeah. I mean, you got to have some. Some more chalky ones in there.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, so Puka. And then who is yours? Kelsey. I will go with Luke McCaffrey. Why?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No, is there anything. Listen, I am the biggest Luke mca. I'm confident saying the biggest in the entire world. I just. I. I don't. He. We don't need the pressure of every awl on Luke's back right now. I don't.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I believe in Luke to that level, but that's fine.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

We'll do our own. We could do Bill, do a secret part.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

All right. We'll do Bill. I guess. I believe in Luke. I do.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Okay, do.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Look, no, no, it's fine. We'll do.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

No, we got to do Luke. We got to do Luke.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I think he's gonna score. No, Terry, it's got to be Luke. Jaden back.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Listen, I think he's going to score, too, but I just don't. I don't want the odds.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

It sounds like you don't think he's.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I don't want. I don't want. I don't want people mad at Luke if he doesn't score.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Get over it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He will. He's a tough guy. Tough kid. Yeah, he's been told so. He's been told no so many times. No, you're not a good enough quarterback. No, you got to go play at Rice. No, we're not going to draft you early in the draft. No, you can't return kicks. Guess what? He's overcome every obstacle in his way.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

So he's going to get a touchdown this week.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Luke Caffrey legacy night. O.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay. What is the odds on that?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I was pulling up Jerry.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

My. My mind is. My mind's. That's on me.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's on me.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I was fighting with Luke. I was fighting for Luke, though. So we're just gonna keep doing. All right. There's. There's Luke.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Mm.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

There's one. We're gonna go. Kelsey, that would be two.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

And then PFTs. I remember. Is running back.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No, no.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Who is it?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Wide receiver named. He plays for the Los Angeles.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I remember.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I remember.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You're there. You got this, Max. Way to go, Max.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

That can't. Whoa.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Cuz Luke is.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

What is it?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

What is it?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Plus 17.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

20.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Juicy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Juicy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Juicy. That is juicy. Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

All right. Ready for Jerry?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Let's hear Jerry. This is our fantasy minute with Jerry o'.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Connell.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yo.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'm at work.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Got to do this. Start the music means. Start the music.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I got one minute.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

All right. Hey, what's up? Welcome to Fantasy Boys Week 9. Trevor Lawrence. You gotta stream him.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Vegas defense sucks.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We're gonna stream Trevor Lawrence. We are gonna stream San Francisco defense. The Giants without Scatter Boo is a problem. So we're gonna stream the. The Niners defense. We're gonna stream this tight end Johnson on the Giants because Bellinger is hurt. And we're gonna stream. We're gonna stream Kendrick Horn on San Francisco. Streaming means that you play them just that week. You just insert them.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's a.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

It's a fantasy term. PFT and big cat.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You know what? PFT and big cat. I have a new sports friend. I talked to my friend Max on the phone.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

We talk about baseball. I don't have to talk to you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Guys about gambling or about flight simulating. Call 1-800-flight- Simulator. Where was he?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I just looked it up. Glamazonian Airways is in the background of there. That has something to do with RuPaul's Drag Race.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Oh, so he's at Bravo Con.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Jerry might be branching out a little bit. That's fine.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He looks so good. He's just a hot guy.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Watch Scream 2 this weekend for Halloween.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I need you guys to. Max, next time you. Jerry calls you because how many times did Jerry say not for air?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I think just twice.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay. Yeah, yeah. You need to record it next time.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

He's listening to this right now. So he would know.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Right, but just record it and just Tell him, no, it's fine. It's not for air. And he'll just keep talking.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He won't hear.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

He won't hear that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We don't have to put it on air, but I would like to hear it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Okay. Yeah, yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's like a personal podcast.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, that sounds good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Just Jerry and Max talking.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

We chat.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Jerry's a great texture, by the way.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, he is elite.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Really good texture. It doesn't matter how many times me or Big Cat don't immediately text him back. That does not deter Jerry from sending the next Instagram link to us. I appreciate that, Jerry.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That German tractor girl.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

She hot.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

It sounds like something that wasn't for air.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I actually don't think he said not for air. He'll say it after. He'll text us tomorrow being like, hey, that was not for air.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

But he has to clarify whether it's for air. If he doesn't want it for air, he has to say not for.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yes. It's like saying off the record.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Anything else that you presume Jerry presumes is on the record.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I just love Jerry o'.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Connell.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I miss him. We got to get him out here for a Sunday stream. We have to. We need to tell him to come.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Here for game six.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I think he's already going to Toronto. He's got it booked and everything.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I mean, I would love to have Jerry and Oldie.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Six. Those two. Just watch them. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

That would be a. A dynamic duo.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We gotta find a game, though, for Jerry to come out.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Or Sunday for Jerry to come out. Okay, let's do our picks, and then we'll get to Baldy, and then we'll be back in our costumes for Fyre Fest. Our picks. We are right now, by the way. We have to. I'm gonna say this right now. Next week is our deadline. We have to come out to punishment because if things start separating, then the punishment gets harder to do. I did hear someone throw out the idea of loser has to live in Vanny Woodhead for a week in the loading dock. That would be kind of funny. No, you're actually comfortable.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

That would never happen.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Why? You were saying that because you're in first right now.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I would do that or do that. I mean, I would. I would. I would get probably better sleep than I get at home.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

You would never do that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I would get better sleep than I get at home.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

In theory.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. No, no, the sleep would be yes. Would I have you explaining that?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You would be yes.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But I also could be like, hey, I'll get a lot of sleep. That'd be sick. No, but I could still go home and just come back and sleep there.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Oh, that's the case.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Well, yeah. You have to sleep overnight every night in Vanny Woodhead.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

It would be like on a.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You just come back. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So you. You wouldn't actually be living in van. You just be sleeping.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No, you just run. You do a regular day, and then at night you just be like, all right, time for bed. Gotta walk over to Vanny Woodhead. Probably not great for. For the audience. We'll. We'll think of something, though. Okay, who's up first? I. It is 10 points. Me, Zach, nine points. Memes. Hank and Max, eight points. Pft. Six points. Who's up first? So we're still very tight.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I'm up first.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yep. Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I will be going. Minnesota Vikings plus eight and a half. I think it's just a lot of points.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

I would like to take the Indianapolis Colts minus three.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay. Pft.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I would like to take the Denver Broncos plus one and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I would like to take the Bears and Bengals over 51 and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I would like to take the New England Patriots minus five and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I would like to take the Chargers minus nine and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I like how we're all saying. I would like to take.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's very polite.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Very polite.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

What else would you like to take? Memes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I would also like to take the. Over.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

In.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We're getting there.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

The Colts, Steelers, 50 and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Okay. I would like to take the. Under. Commander. Seahawks 47 and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I would like to take. I would like. I would like to take the.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

The.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Chargers -9 and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I took that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That was the one you paused on a lot.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

No, no, the other one was.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

First one. You got me off on the pause. I would like to instead take the. You know what? I'll double up. I'll just take the Bears minus two and a half. Double up on the game.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

There you go.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Okay. I would like to take the under in Broncos, Texans, 39 and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

I would like to take the over in the Same game at 39 and a half.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, wow. Who won the. Did you guys go head to head last week?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think Zach won by a point. Yes.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Wow.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Zach's on your ass.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Yeah, he is super, incidentally. But we. We go again.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It was a great bet again.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I would like to take the. Between two games right now.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I'll take over 43 and a half in chargers Titans.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, good weekend preview, boys. Let's get to our interview with Baldy pfc. You got a couple ads before we do that?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Before we get into Baldi, he's brought to you by our great friends over at Twisted Tea. It's twisted tea season. Nothing pairs better with hanging out outdoors than a twisted tea. I love the twisted tea. The half and half is my personal favorite. It's delicious. The peach is also excellent. Zach was walking around the office today rocking a twisted tea bottle as I. Was that a Halloween costume, Zach?

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

It was. Yes, sir.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You look great and you pulled it off.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Thank you.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, Twisted tea is delicious. We love twisted tea around here. It is the best. And it's 5% alcohol made with real brewed iced tea. And if you're hanging at a friend's house, if you're catching the game at the stadium or at a bar or just seeing where the day takes you, Twisted tea is where you need to turn to turn your day up a notch. Grab a tea. It's game time. Stock up on ice cold twisted tea today. Baldi's also brought to you by our great friends at Chevy football seasons here. And if you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, there's one ride that's always game ready. The Chevy Silverado. The Silverado is a longtime partner of part of my take and it's our favorite truck. It's all about grit. From job site to tailgate, Silverado lets you show up strong and tackle any task. The Silverado is America's most dependable full size truck. For J.D. power 2025 award information, visit jdpower.comawards Head to chevy.com learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado. And now, here's Baldy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest. He is our good friend. It is Baldy. Brian Baldinger. You can find him on NFL Network. You can find him calling games every single week for Compass Media networks. He is everywhere he's doing his breakdowns. You got to follow him on Twitter. If you don't. If you're a football fan and you're not following Baldy's breakdowns, you're not a football fan. I don't want to know you@ Baldy NFL. Follow him. Baldy, always great to talk to you. I wanted to start with the Indianapolis Colts because they might be the best team in football right now. When you're watching their film and you're watching what Daniel Jones is doing, what that offensive line is doing, what. What pops out to you? And I think everyone's kind of saying, oh, the Colts are really, really good, but at some point, Daniel Jones is going to be Daniel Jones again. I don't think that. I think they're just really good. Is that what you're seeing?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Yeah, that's what I see, and I've seen it all year. I mean, even the loss to the Rams, where, you know, the receiver drops the ball going into the end zone, I mean, they could easily be undefeated right now.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Easily.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

But I see precision. I see design. I see. I see an attack that I just haven't seen in a while. I mean, this thing is like, you know, they go to Pittsburgh this weekend, I don't know what Pittsburgh is going to do. Defensively, look, they look a mess, but they look like they dictate and they can do what they want to do. Obviously, Jonathan Taylor is off the charts good this year. He's a certifiable MVP candidate. The offense line is really, really strong. But Daniel Jones, like, he knows exactly what he's looking at it. It never looks like a cloudy picture. He always has an answer. It just makes so much sense right now, the way that they attack.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, they are fun to watch. They're a very fun football team. And what about in. Elsewhere in the afc, the Chiefs. The Chiefs look like they're fully back to us. Like, this is. This is the best that we've seen them play football in a very long time. Some people are saying, did the Washington Commanders put out the blueprint for how to beat the Chiefs in the first half? What they did in the first half of the Monday Night Football game. I've heard a lot of people say that, but as far as the Chiefs go, like, is this as good as you've seen them play in the last few years?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

And, you know, look, I mean, you say the first half. I mean, seven, seven at halftime. Right. But, you know, I mean, it's the first time in Patrick Mahomes career that he threw two interceptions in the first quarter. You know, now, I mean, Lattimore got one. I mean, he got it. I mean, it was a good play by Marshawn, but right now they're just rolling. And really, when you. I thought it changed as soon as Xavier Worthy got healthy and the thing started really exploding. That Worthy, they had Hollywood Brown, they had Taekwond Thornton, you know, but now you add Rasheed Rice, and you see the way Andy Reid uses him. Running back, Wildcat, you know, you name it, you know, I mean, he got matched up with Bobby Wagner in the middle. It was like it was over. So now and then you had, you know, you had the rookie, Smith, even with minus two offensive linemen the other night, I mean, they're still waiting. I don't know what's going with the left tackle, you know, but I. I've never seen Trey Smith miss a game. But even with that, it didn't make any difference.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

And so, honestly, this offense could be as good as it's ever been right now.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Can you talk me off the ledge with Caleb Williams and my Bears? Because this, it seems to happen every single week. Where I watched the game on Sunday, and I'm like, ooh, that didn't look great. And then on Monday, all the film guys are like, actually, it wasn't as bad as you saw. Where is the truth here? And what does he have to do to get better and take that next step forward?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Well, I mean, you don't want to see him throw an interception from his end zone. That was bad Wiggins. That's one. You probably jumped off the couch with that one.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. And then.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

And then you say to yourself, oh, well, that Nate Wiggins didn't run a 428 40. And you saw the speed. I mean, I thought he had Rome open a little bit. He could have thrown it a little bit more up front, but I don't know. I mean, Wiggins was right where he needed to be. That. That play killed him. They. He looks a lot better under center in play action, passes to. To any of those receivers than he does when he's in shotgun and he's just trying to play the quick game. They. They seem to struggle with that. They don't make nearly as many big plays. I mean, that was a. That was a very, you know, that's a field goal game at that point in the fourth quarter, and they just couldn't make the play. And Baltimore made the plays. I mean, fourth and two, they, you know, they hit Nuke on the outside, and they kept the drive alive. I mean, they were in the game right to the end, and then that throw, like, really killed them. So, you know, they had a nice little win streak together. I'm not down on Caleb. He just seems like he misses receivers that he shouldn't miss.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Yeah, that's.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

That's the problem.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Right. It's. It's like, to me, it's. It's not that I think he's playing so bad that it's like, you know, people saying Benching or anything like that. It's more his feel for the game. Just has to go up a little bit where it's like, you know, going out of bounds when you're supposed to go out of bounds. Not the intentional grounding penalties, just feeling a little bit more under control in the offense. That's what I want to see.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Yeah, the two had two intentional grounds. I know those are sacks, but like, look, I mean, Kyle Hamilton comes. That's protection up front. Kyle Hamilton comes free one time, Roquan comes free another time. And you know, he's not. He was barely getting the ball. And here comes somebody right at him. And then you look at the protection, you're like, they got to be better up front. You know, just seeing these blitzes that were coming at him and then, you know, I mean, Caleb's just going to react and he's going to try to make something special happen. He did it late in the fourth quarter. He threw some crazy pass to, you know, DJ Moore, like, off his back foot getting blasted. And you know, 40 yards later, like, they're down in scoring position at the three yard line. They still couldn't score a touchdown at that point. Remember that part of the game. But yeah, there's just. There's just too many. But there's just. He just misses layup sometimes. It's one thing if you, okay, Nate Wiggins picks him up, you can, you know, you can't live with it. I mean, it's a hard. You know, he's not throwing a ton of interceptions, but that one hurt him. But I just feel like he's still missing balls where it's bouncing in the dirt or sailing over somebody's head and you go, why? Like, is it a fundamental, Is it a mechanic? Like, what is it? And you just, it just shows up week in, week out.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And then the, the Bears old coach Matt Eberflu is down in Dallas right now, and we think actually Schottenheimer might be doing, like, a great job coaching that team because their offense is incredible. It's so fun to watch. The Dallas Cowboys, like, are a legitimately good offensive football team right now. The defense doesn't look great. It looks bad. Is. Is it fixable? Are there issues on defense? Fixable? Or is it a matter of the guys that they have in place there and maybe the lack of some of the guys that they don't have anymore?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Well, I mean, they were playing literally guys off the practice squad last week. You know, they had this kid tri. I think that's his first name, bridges. Number 25 is the right corner. I mean, honestly, you know, he might become a great player. I don't know. He's just a rookie free agent. But Sean Payton, he sees a pigeon out there, he's going to attack the pigeon, you know. And so, I mean, they were literally lining up. It was Cortland Sutton, you know, it was, you know, it was Troy Franklin. They were all the rookie Pat Franklin beat them. Like they were just going after him. They had rookie free agent, you know, safety. And so that's part of it. And then they don't have a pass rush. So, you know, and then some weeks, the week before, they look like they kind of fixed the run defense. But then, you know, last week it shows up and you're like, what? Like every, every defense is a gap defense. Get to your gap, put your head in the gap, you know, and like stop these, this rushing it. And then some weeks you're like, what are they doing? And is everybody just freelancing out there? Because that's how it usually looks. Teams are just freelancing against them and. Or they're doing that against teams and then they just get scorched.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, so give me your. Do you have a. This week, Week nine? Do you have a best bet or a game where you're like, this matchup is going to go one way or this team can't block someone? Is there any game that jumps out to you on, on the entire week nine card?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Well, I mean, look, there's some teams they have to win.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Like Pittsburgh has to win. Right. And you go, can they beat the Colts this week because they just made a trade for safety. I don't know if Kyle Dugger is going to play. He's going to make a difference. But like their secondary stakes, you know, but their pass rush isn't there either. Like, I haven't seen TJ do much. You know, like they paid TJ And Cam Hayward and you know, Alex Heisman, they pay all these guys a lot of money. I don't see them changing the game right now. And unless they do, like, I think you're going to see a lot more of the same against a Colts offense that is rolling. And so if Pittsburgh loses their third in a row, remember last year, it spiraled out of control in the last six games of the season and they couldn't fix it. And it feels like it's starting earlier this year. So, you know, I don't know that Aaron Rodgers can just go put up 30 on the Colts right now.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Right.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

And I feel like that's what they're going to have to do. There's a lot of games this week that are like that where, you know, if Minnesota loses this week, you know, with J.J. mcCarthy at quarterback, like, can they get out of this spiral? And after they lose their fifth game this season already. So there's some teams right now that they, they instead of go, okay, to your point, like who, who do you like? I'm like, teams that have to win before this thing, like before they're out of it, like Pittsburgh and Minnesota have to find a way to win this week.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Falcons. The Falcons are another one where it's like, I don't think the Falcons are better than the Patriots, but the desperation does matter when it comes to week to week in the NFL and they have to win this game. Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

And you know, and then you, you look at Atlanta and like they get beat 30 to nothing by Carolina. You know, they get just crunched last week, they look terrible. Bijan couldn't gain 5 yards on a run. And you go, but you know, I know Kirk Cousins was the quarterback and he wasn't very good. And Drake, Drake London didn't play. But like, they have to win. You know, they want to try and make any ground up on what Tampa's doing as they sit there at six and two in a bye week, you know, and they get refreshed, like they're in that position. And I feel like teams that are in that position, if they're going to do anything this year, they come off the mat and they find a way to win a game.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So what is going on with the Falcons? Because they are confusing to me. Like you mentioned some of their bad losses. They beat the Buffalo Bills. They, they seem to just like flip flop back and forth. I can't ever time the Falcons. It's impossible to time the Falcons. And it seems like they've got all the pieces in place, but then they do stuff like they just, they stop giving the ball to Bijan. And it, it seems like a pretty easy thing to say, hey, this offense should at all times try to try to flow through Bichon, especially if you don't have Drake London out there. So what have you seen from them? What is it? What's going wrong with the Falcons when it's bad?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I mean, they got, they got basically shut down by Miami and Miami had been terrible. I mean, defensively they were as bad as any team in this league. And all of a sudden like they decided to play Run defense and Jordan Brooks and, you know, Sealer and all these guys, Bradley Chubb, they all showed up and they kind of fixed some things defensively, did some things with Jalen Phillips that sort of bothered Atlanta, but they've been a good running football team. And last week against Miami, they could not get Bijan going. And usually if Bijan doesn't get going, like, they don't win. And he seems to be the key to their success. He's not making long runs or taking screen passes, you know, to the house or, you know, like he did against Buffalo. They seem to really struggle on offense and they didn't play without, you know, Drake London last week and he's their best receiver by far. But defensively, I know Miami changed some things up, but they look like they had no idea how to. Like they've never seen a pin and pull a tackle pull. Like they never seen these plays before, you know, that all these other teams in the league run and when they, they, they just got, you know, Ali Gordon catch the screen pass and goes 20 yards for a touchdown. Like, like they didn't. Anybody guarding them, you know. Yeah, they just broke down.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Very frustrated. Watching the Falcons, it's. I can't imagine what Falcons fans have gone through pretty well for their entire lives. But especially this year, that's in Atlanta.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Where you're fighting for anybody to come to a game, come out and support us. Otherwise you're just going to go watch Georgia play.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Watch college football.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. What. Outside the Colts, what offense are you most excited for every single Monday to get in your room and start breaking down tape and be like, hey, this offense is just a joy to watch.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Well, Green Bay is good. Green. Yeah, they are, what they do is, you know, they've got, they got the one loss and obviously they scored 40 against Dallas and tied. But like that offense, you know, they.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Got.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Watson back last week and that made a big difference. Like he made some big chunk plays. But you know, in this league right now, here's what I see. The good offense, they're in two tight end sets or three tight end sets. Their play action pass, their quarterback is under center. They're like play action, pass, match, protect. They're getting receivers down the field, getting big chunk plays. And that's what they did, you know, last week. But they're fun to watch because of the way they execute. And you know, like Pittsburgh was awful. Like Tucker Kraft is catching a three yard, you know, flat route and he's going 50, you know, right. Like they, they couldn't get him to the ground. But he's a, he's just a really good player too, though. And so Green Bay is a team that I think, you know, always interests me. Detroit is, is outstanding just because they've got, you know, Jameer Gibbs, can score from anywhere on the field. Jameson Williams has been a little quiet this year so far, can score from anywhere on the field. And honestly, if Jared Goff has time, he doesn't miss. And so they're really good, the Rams. Like, you know, they played without Puka in the last game, so Devonte Adams made it up. But when you get Puka and you get Devonte and you get Kyron Williams going or Blake Corum, like that offense and the way that Stafford can throw it, they look like they go up on that and down the field and just about anybody.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, they do.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I was looking at Josh Jacobs and because I, I think that he's a really good running back and he had a great season last year and he hasn't really gotten to that point where he breaks out yet, where he takes over game. And I'm wondering, is it a matter of time before we start to get some Josh Jacob games where he's putting up like 130, 140 yards rushing, three touchdowns or has, has he, do you see anything different about how he's running this year and how that that offensive line is blocking for him as opposed to last season?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Yeah, I, I don't see anything different in him. Like, he made a couple cuts against Pittsburgh last week that looked like Josh Jacobs to me. He's still scoring a lot of touchdowns, but I, I, but the, the average isn't there. The big runs that we saw a year ago, we haven't really seen that yet. But I don't think there's anything different about Josh. So I, I think some of those games are coming in the second half of the season.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

All right, good to know. And with the Bills, we, like the Buffalo Bills, love the city of Buffalo. We, it looked like they were fully back last week. Like they, they found a little bit of a groove the bye week, helped them out a little bit. Is there something about the Bills that you think is a concern for him? When we saw in their two losses, is that, is there anything that we see in that team right now that's making you hesitant to, to buy fully in on the Buffalo Bills?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Well, I mean, they're going to get tested by, you know, Kansas City this week. They're going to have to score. I mean, James Cook is Averaging six yards a carry. It used to be if you average four, you had a good back. If you got the five, you were elite. He's averaging six yards of carry right now. And the offense line is great. I mean, Dion Dawkins is just.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I mean, he's the one that, you know, wants protector of the year. Like, he's the one that pushed for it. He might get it the way he's playing right now. I mean, he's just bully balling, you know, guys up front. But that. That offensive line is healthy. They do a great job of coaching them. And so I think it starts with the run game. If they get that cranked up against Kansas City, I think they can make it a game. But defensively is. Is. Is the issue. You know, like when they lost to Atlanta, B. John went off and Tyler Algier went off and they couldn't stop the run. And that's been their weakness in big games over the years, is they're undersized up front. Their linebackers have trouble staying healthy. Matt Milano, when he's in the lineup, you can look up the stats. They're a lot better defensively when he's in the lineup. And when, you know, some of these other Jarons, the slot defenders in there, like, you know, they play a lot better when they're healthy, but they have had trouble at corner, and so that's been an issue. And I think Kansas City will probably exploit some of that. But I. I think the way that they can run the ball, you know, and then Josh is just, you know, just scrambling to find, you know, big plays down the field, they can still do that with the best of them.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, Ed Oliver kind of concerns me. Ed Oliver being hurt, that's. That, to me, seems like the. Yeah, the. The running defense, that's. If they can stop the run in the playoffs. And Ed is a big part of that. That's where they could actually make a run and go to the Super Bowl. I think they're.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

They might struggle without him.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Well, he's, you know, I mean, look, he's. He's sort of like their three technique. The guy that penetrates, that can, you know, really plug the run. He's undersized, but he's. He's been a great player since he came out of Houston, and it seems to be a difference when he's in there. Yeah, you know, they drafted his. TJ Sanders doesn't have the same impact that Ed Oliver has right now.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Speaking of injuries, the Broncos, you know, have been hot The Broncos are, I think, a legitimate super bowl contending team. But Patrick Surtan being out missing maybe a couple weeks, what does that do to their defense? Because from my perspective, and I obviously, you know, way more football than we do. That's massive. Just because Patrick certain when you have them out there, you can basically eliminate half the field and you could take away whatever their number one is and then the rest kind of falls into place. When you lose a guy like that. Is Denver in trouble in the next couple of weeks if he's out for, you know, two, three weeks?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Well, you know this Jade Baron, you know, their first round pick out of Texas came in last week and he had his first interception, made a great play on Dak down the middle of the field. They have a luxury. I'm honestly, the biggest issue in this whole league right now is there's not enough good corners and there's just. You saw Detroit win a game the other day with all backup players and safeties that had never played before and they won a game before. They're by. But it's, it's a cornerback driven league right now. And what happens is when you have Certain and you have Riley Moss and you have all these guys right there that can lock up, they can get after you with five man rush and they're the best in the league at it. I mean, when you look at what Cooper you know and what the guys can do up front, Zach Allen right now, they, they lead the league in sacks. They can get really after you. They did after they got after Dak last week. He never, he couldn't even get. Get his back foot set in 30 steps and he was under duress. And so Sir Tan really allows you to come after you with five. And they probably do that as much as anybody. So now you're one on one up front. If anybody misses a block or gets beat now your quarterback is, you know, running and scrambling like Dak was last week. And so I was thinking about Nick Benito. Yeah, but yeah, like that. He, he really gives him that luxury. Now we'll see if Jade can step in there and kind of fill that void. Not many guys can do what's her tan. Because if your number one court, your number one receiver is a tight end, Sir Tan will lock him up. He'll lock up an X receiver. He'll go in the slot against the slot receiver. And so he, and he loves that. Like he's got a smile on his face. He's like, all right, come after me. You know, like, I enjoy even Last week against Dallas, like, he basically, you know, took their X receiver and just kept, kept him to like five yard catches, you know, and didn't let him get over down the field in the big plays that he'd be getting.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, and I actually, I like the Broncos this week because of what they can probably do to the Texans offensive line. Like, I watched that game last week. I had the Texans against the Niners. Probably the only game I won. But I was like, hey, the Niners don't have the dogs up front to really bother C.J. stroud. And you saw him have his best game of the season. I think that's different when you have the Broncos where it's like, these are the guys that can bother him. And that offensive line for Houston, although they had a good week, it's going to be tough sledding this week against the Bronco.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I couldn't agree with you more. I mean, San Francisco just traded for Keon White. They're just looking for pass rushes. Bryce Huff didn't play last week. And so, I mean, look, Ariante Ursary might become a good player. I still don't know how they let Laramie Tunsil out of the building. Like, I. You just don't let those guys go. And they traded them to Washington. You know, I don't know. He had penalties last year, but they have not replaced him. And you're right, the offense line is struggled. I mean, that's why offense coordinators got fired, offense line coach got fired. They replaced all these guys, but they didn't really replace a good line. And when C.J. has time, even without Nico Collins last week, he played great. So I, I do think that they're, you know, they're. C.J. is going to see like some hungry sharks coming after him this week.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

One thing I love about you, baldy, is you are an early identifier of dudes. You, you spot dudes as they're starting to emerge. And you're wearing the shirt right now, the, the OL Mastermind shirt. Offensive lineman Quinn Miners from the Denver Broncos. What a dude. I just want to, I just want to hear you talk about him as a dude.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

You know, on the 1:1 screen last week, he knocked three guys down. Yeah, I saw that play. And I'm like, okay, you get your guy at the line of scrimmage. Okay, you hit the linebacker, but then you go down the field and you, you get a safety down the ground. Like, nobody gets. Like, Macy's doesn't have a three for one sale. Like he Gets three guys on one play. I love Quinn Myers. He's just, he's the definition of a meat. Like, he's a meathead. Like, he loves it. He's as tough as they come. You go goal line, short yardage, you know, like, sometimes Philly likes to touch, push. Let's just run the ball behind Quinn Miners. He's going to move. Whatever immovable object is in front of him. He's going to move. Yeah, he just has rare power.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. And he's been great for, for a couple years now. Like, he's really developed into an awesome player. Is there anybody out there that, that we might not be talking about enough? A dude that you have identified that you love watching his film and, and you just really enjoy how violent this guy is?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Well, there's. There's a couple guys that come to mind right now. Yeah. I mean, obviously, you know, Quinton Nelson, you know, I mean, that guy, you know, he just, like, he's playing on top of his game right now. Everything. Pass protection, like, when they, when they run power, he's the one that pulls always. And then he has, you know, when he was a kid in Marlboro, New Jersey, he was too heavy to play football, you know, so they, his parents put him in. They put him in cross country. So he ran, you know, the three mile when he was ninth grade, he was running cross country. Like, the guy is a third lung. But he never gets tired. You always see him down 56. If Jonathan Taylor runs 80 yards down the field for a touchdown, like, Quinton is right behind him. Like, that guy is still as good as there is out there in this, in this business. But, you know, if you look at Landon Dickerson, like, he's just like, he's on one leg right now. He had his knee scoped in preseason. He's, you know, it's like, you know, I have a few beers of scope my knee, I'll go out there and play and then he's just out there. Just, you know, there's a reason why the Tush push, they run to the left all the time. They run behind him. Like, he just, he just is a big body that just moves big people. So, like he, he shows up every week.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Do you ever get tired during the football season, baldy?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

No. Like, I, like, like, for example, where was I? I can't remember where I was last week. Doing a game. I was in Minnesota or I forget where I was. But I couldn't wait to get to NFL Films on Sunday night. Like, I think I got Oh, I did an Eagles home game. So I was right there. So I did that, that game against the Giants. But I went straight over to NFL Films and I started watching the one o' clock games. They were all coming in. So I, I cooked a steak, I went over there, started watching film till midnight, got up at, you know, 5:30, went back and finished watching. What happened was I started doing these breakdowns and I do like, you know, some of the guys I liked in the league, some of the teams I like. But then the, you know, Jacksonville would get pissed off because I didn't do anything and they won a game or some of these bad teams. New Orleans, Cam, you know, Cam Jordan had a big game, three sacks. He's like, I don't get, I get no love. So now, like, I got forced to have to watch every game. Yeah, in order to watch every game, it takes time and you can't afford to be tired. Like, you know, there's. They got a coffee machine every 6ft NFL film.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

What's your off day? Do you have an off day?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Well, so right now, like, they're putting me on some college games too, for national radio. So next week I'm doing Texas Tech and byu.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I can't wait. So normally Fridays I go, okay, I could kind of lighten up on Friday, travel on Saturday. But now I'm like, I did Texas ou, I'm doing Texas A and M Texas. Now I'm like having to watch some of these college games to get to know. I don't really know all these Polynesians at byu, but I got to get to know the pronunciations and the whole thing. So now I'm studying some of that, their games. Because they're undefeated.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

And they're really good. You know, it's going to be a great game. Mahomes is going to be on the sideline of Texas Tech. Like, you know, I want to know my stuff. And they got some good pass rushers at Texas Tech. So now when I do the college games, there's no days off.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, yeah. So you just. All day, everyday. Football.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Yeah, but it's, but you know, I'm reading Belichick's book. Whatever the name of the book, somebody gave it to me. And he's like, they asked him about the same thing and they said, well, football just energizes me. I don't need anything. And I feel like it energizes me because I see things every week that just like, it's, it's a tweak. It's something different. And you're like, wow, that's pretty cool how they came up with that. That's a good play. Or that's a good design. Luana Rumo came over the blitz last week in. In Indianapolis. I'm like, lou's on his game right now. You know, like, he, he's in his bag. You know, you start seeing some of these things, you're like, oh, that's pretty cool how they got that guy. The DeForest Buckner is having a monster season. It's pretty cool. I got him freed up on this pass rush right here, you know? So, like, I always, I see something new, and I'm like, I make a little note or I do a breakdown, and I get kind of fired up about it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So what do you do after the Super Bowl? What's that?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He goes and swims with sharks.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I know, I know. You're crazy. You're a shark. Swim. But I mean, like, the game's over. Like, do you go. Do you go through football withdrawal, or do you just immediately say, I'm gonna go?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Because, you know, no, I don't get withdrawals because, you know, I, I'll. We'll get ready for the draft and, you know, all that kind of stuff. Free agency. So there, there'll be enough, you know, to kind of, like, get me excited again, you know, getting ready for the next season. But no, I, I, I need my time off. Like, it's a, It's a great day to dive today. The water's calm. Like, I'm thinking about, like, I have a free hour somewhere today, and I can just run out to the first reef, swim out there and start diving down, take a little GoPro down there and see what's down there. Hopefully something big is floating around.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, it's the best. It's like Baldi gives you his breakdowns for half the year, and then for the other half, it's like, oh, he's just swimming next to a shark. Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I was in Korea last year, and I was like, they have really good diving in Korea and in the Sea of Japan. Like, there's really good visibility and good diving, and they have a lot of sharks. And I'm like, okay, I'm coming back with my equipment next year.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

See, in Japan, see what's going on.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I've got, I've got a place that's got some great diving, too. You might be interested in it. We had Zach Martin on the show last week, and he's act Martin.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Like, the God.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, the God, him, himself. And he was telling us about his Pinstripe bowl MVP trophy. He won the MVP for that game, and he lost it in a lake, and it's nearby. It's in the Midwest here. So we're gonna. We want our guy Zach to go diving for it, to go treasure hunting for this trophy and find it in the lake and bring it up to, to the boat. Would you be willing to work with Zach maybe on. On some of his diving?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We'll fly out.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, we'll.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We'll just take like a. One day try to find this trophy at the bottom of Zach Martin's lake.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

But where, where is this lake?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's. It's. It's somewhere. I, we don't want to give away exactly where it is because we don't want anyone to go, you know, take it.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We can get there.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

The problem is, like, okay, if it's in Texas, I don't know where it's.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

At, that it's in the Midwest. It's a driving distance from Chicago.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Okay. All right. Well, that, that might be, you know, because some of these, like, I, I have these friends that do the, you know, that catfish noodling thing.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Like, they have. They've been trying to get me to go noodling in Texas in some of these ponds. I'm like, first of all, you got these cottonmouth snakes that are there.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Right. And then you're like, you. You can't see anything. It's just mud. Right. And you're sticking your arm in these holes and you're waiting for these catfish to bite and you're pulling these. I'm like, I'm not doing it. I'm just not. I gotta have some visibility.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But, but, but the counterpoint to that is you swim with sharks.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Yeah. Well, I mean, that's Jupiter. I can see that. I can see, you know, the sharks coming at me. I know how to kind of, like, I think I know what to do if they, if they really get aggressive. Like, like, I don't like bull sharks. Believe me, I don't like them. I'd rather see a lemon shark or a nurse shark or a reef shark. I'm okay with those. But bull sharks are a little weird.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Like, you don't know what makes them, like, get aggressive. So that does make me a little nervous. I'll probably get out of the water if I see too many of them. But I saw them in Jupiter this year. They were just circling me. They didn't seem like they were that very interested.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's I mean, that's a crazy thing to say. Just like, oh, yeah, there's just some bull sharks circling me.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I think they respected you. They, they, they checked you out and they're like, I don't. Not this one. We'll wait for an easier target.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I'd never get.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

My girlfriend was on the boat and she's just like, just get, get out of the water. What do you do? Like, look at the. And I'm like, nah, I feel okay. Like, they're going after Chum. They're not coming after me. Yeah, this is the last time I'm gonna see you.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

But I think this lake should be free of sharks. It should be free of catfish. I don't think we got any cotton.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I will, I will go to the Midwest, wherever this thing is. I'll put my mask and snorkel on. I can hold my breath for a good time. I go down there so I, I can find that, that trophy of his.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I love it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

We would love.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We're gonna find it. It'll be a great video of all us trying to get it.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

That would be great video. It'd be a lot of fun.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, baldy, I got one last question for you. It's a robot question. Rho, B, A C k.com promo code, take 20% off your first purchase. Q, zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com promo code take. All right, so we're in. We're heading up, gearing up for week nine. If I had to ask you right now to give me your super bowl, you don't tell me who's going to win, but who's going to be in the Super Bowl. You can always change it. When we have you back on in a couple of months, you could change it. But right now, week nine, who are you seeing is the best teams in each conference?

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I think Kansas City is going to be back.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Like, I know what the record is, but Kansas City looks like they've got things fixed. And that's the things, you know, September, they weren't very good, but I like Kansas City right now in the afc. I know Indianapolis is really good and, you know, we'll see what else happens. But I like what they're doing, and I think Philadelphia is going to get on a roll. Like, they got Saquon going last week. They gotten the play action pass going. I think A.J. brown's going to be on the team. I know people are thinking he's going to get traded. I Don't think they're going to trade. I don't know why they would. I think Philadelphia, Kansas City could repeat and get back there again.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Okay, if it's not Philly out of the nfc, who would you think I.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Would say right now? I would say Detroit, Green Bay or Seattle, one of those three teams.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

All right.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I want to ask you about Seattle. I'm glad you brought up Seattle.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I'm not going to rule out Tampa. I'm just not going to because I want to see if that team ever gets healthy, what they look like.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

With the Seahawks specifically, what is it about them that you, you look at and you say, okay, this is for real. This could be a very.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I've seen anybody cover Jackson, Smith and Jig, but yeah, that guy looks unstoppable to me. And, and really it's probably a benefit that they're up in Seattle. Nobody's really paying attention. But right now, you know, you look at what Sam's doing and that offense, it's like a symphony. Like they're getting the run game going, the play action pass game, the big pass play is going. Nobody can run the ball against Big Cat Williams, who by the way is a great diver.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

You know, and so he's, he's a guy that's not afraid of any sharks down there. He can hold his breath like, like he's got a third long. But you look at their defensive line right now, they're as good as anybody up there front. Like, if you, you want to run the ball, good luck trying to run against that group.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, their, their offense is a lot of fun. They throw the ball deep all the time, constantly.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Yeah, this A.J. barner, this tight end is pretty good. Like he's shaking loose and like they have, they've got enough. Like they don't have a surplus of weapons, but you don't need them. If you got a go to guy, go to him. You know, that's what Jake was doing. I thought when he came out of Ohio State he was just a, like a slot receiver. But they move them like there's a reason why they let DK Metcalf go. They knew what they had in this kid and what he's doing. And you know, you still have Cooper cup and you have enough other guy. Jake, Bobo and Barner and some of these other guys, they're fine. I think.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I actually don't mind Arroyo either. I feel like Arroyo be a really nice player.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

I agree with you. No, he's, he's got some juice to his game, man, his only problem at Miami was he just couldn't stay healthy, but he could run, and he's a good target.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, yeah. All right. Baldi, you're the best. We love having you on. You are the ultimate football guy. And thanks so much, and hopefully we see you soon. Oil masterminds. Yep.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

That's it, man. Like, I got it. Like, you got to pump up these guys down.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

This thing, you know, this. This little thing started in Dallas. There was Lane Johnson and Duke manningweather. I came down there and there's like 20 guys there now. High school kids are coming, college kids. The entire Alabama offensive line. Two years ago came like, you know, here comes Booker and here comes Kaden Proctor. Like, then they sat in the front row with notebooks and like. Like, if I had all the money, I would come to this thing and listen to Lane Johnson tell me about pass protection all day long.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, yeah. It's facts. Well, you're the best, and we love football as much as you, but no one loves football as much as you, so thanks so much, Baldi.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Thanks, guys. You're right, man.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Thanks, Paulie.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's fall forward, spring back, fall forward, spring break back.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

We said earlier that it was fall back, but that was.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's fall forward, spring back. It's an alliteration. Fall forward, spring back, fall forward, spring back.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So you fat at 2:00am it becomes 3:00am, right?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

No. Yeah. Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's fall forward, fall forward. It's like in football. What do you tell your running backs? Fall forward.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Exactly.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Get that extra yard, whatever.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Only real fire fest. I guess it's not even really like a fire fest.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Sometimes I just forget myself. I just don't know.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I had my dad text me. He was like, hey, just a heads up, it's not daylight savings last week. And I was like, yeah, we're joking. He's like, yeah, I know, but you guys joke so much. I sometimes think you don't know.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And I was like, good point. Yeah. It's like, yeah, that's actually the truth.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You're Firefest.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Nothing, nothing, nothing really crazy happened to me this week. I got super obsessed with the TV show, binged it all, and now it's over. And I just kind of have like a void.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Which show was that?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Find another one.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

The Task.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I. I'm not a.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Like, it's been a while since I've gone into a TV show as much as I. I got into this one. I guess severance a little, little bit.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, Sever doesn't come back forever.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's going to Be years.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

But yeah. Task. Great show. Limited series Elite. Loved it. Cried at the end. But it's over. And I'm just like, it was a fun week watching it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Just like, what do I do now?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Oh, you know what a good one is? I think it's called the Diplomat.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah, my sister's told me about that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, it's a good show. I think they just dropped the new season, so.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah, that's. I mean, pretty good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Who's in the Diplomat?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It is Kerry Russell, I think.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Kerry Russell plays the ambassador.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Is it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Is. Is it the one with the woman president?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

She's a diplomat.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

There's a woman vice president and a male president. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No, I think there's a woman president. I just watched 10 minutes of it because my wife was watching it and I. I, like, saw.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I watched it and walked out.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No. Well, I was like, this is unrealistic.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It was fantasy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And then I. I watched 10 minutes. It was like the most crucial 10 minutes, and I just happened to walk in and so I. I basically spoiled the whole show. Like, in those 10 minutes, I just sat down and watched it. It was like, oh, fuck.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, they're.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

No way.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

They're back.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I can't believe that happened. And I didn't know any of the characters backstory, but it seemed like a good show.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So you're out of shows. Hit my boy Hank up with some recommendations.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I might start watching Ozarks.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You've never seen it? No.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's a good show.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Really good show.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Very good show.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Really good show.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Especially if you like watching Marty Bird just, like, drive away from houses.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's like.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's like half the show.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's a good show.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Always leaving places. Yeah, there's some.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

There's some good shows you can find.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I'm not sorry. I might just rewatch the Wire because that's what the task reminded me. It was. It was. It was just Delcoy. It was Delca, the Warrior.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Oh, second one was the best.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Tom Hardy show. It's very. It's only one season.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Oh, yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Awesome.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Was it crime?

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

It can't be that good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Gang. No. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

If you don't remember the name, I.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's Tom Hardy.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Crimeland.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

All I had to say was Tom Hardy Mob Land. Pierce Bros.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

It's mob.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No. Is it Mobland can't be that Crime town.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Crime town, Mobland. Yeah, it is Mobland. Did you watch it?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I watched an episode then. It's really didn't stick, but I might get around.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Basically just Tom Hardy being a badass for like every episode.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Who the do you think you are? Yeah, that's who I am.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You don't want to do that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's who. That's. Hey, bro. That's who I am.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I would advise against doing that as he. As he grabs his gun. Hey, you're not going to want to do that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Any further questions?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I've got.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I've got two answers.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I would say that's a pretty bad idea. And then he just kills people.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Help me swim. All right. Pft. Your fire fest.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

My fire fest of the week is something that came out this morning. Unfortunately, we lost Jim Merce, the owner of the Colts over the summertime, and he had the best collection of guitars in the world. Maybe the history of the world.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

World.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Definitely the history of the world. And just found out this morning he is putting his entire collection up for auction. And this is. So this is a problem for me because the man has the best guitars, the most important guitars, and they're all going up for sale at the same time. Now the good news is some. Most of them are. Are way too expensive that I would never even dream of being able to buy them.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

What are some of the prices?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

What are some of the guitars?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

They haven't. They haven't priced them out just yet.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I think one of Jerry Garcia's cars.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Guitar, they've got his tiger guitar, which is sick.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So sick.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

But the problem with pricing these is that if you were selling a collector's item of a guitar over the last 20 years, Jim Ursay basically set the price for it, Right. The value of the guitar was whatever Jim Ursay would pay for it because he wanted all the important guitars in his collection. And to his credit, he took them on the road. He. He showed them to the people in the Jim Merce collection. He had a great quote. He said, I always say you never see a hearse pulling a U Haul. Basically saying you can't take it with you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

After you're gone. And so now he's selling all these. Some of the best guitars are like the. The Prince guitar from the halftime show that he played. That might be my favorite one. He's got the David Gilmore black Strat. He's got Jimi Hendrix guitars, Eric Clapton guitars. He has the Stratocaster that Bob Dylan played when he pissed the world off by going electric for the first time. The first time he. He owned that. So he's putting these all up for auction. And I'm gonna have to go through these and see if. If there's one in there that I can't buy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I'm reading an article right now that says that he turned down an offer for $1 billion for the entire collection.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yep. There was somebody, maybe a Saudi prince or somebody in UAE that offered him a billion dollars.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And he said, no, no, I'm gonna hang on to him and I'm gonna. I'm gonna take him on the road. And my favorite thing about Ursay, I know I've told this story before for. But Ursay truly believe that with all these guitars that. That the music that was once played in them still exists inside the material. I believe, like inside the wood. And that if you own the guitar, one day they'll be able to extract all the music that was ever played on it and you can just listen to it and recreate it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Which is a cool thing to believe, but Nirvana guitar. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The only one that I'd be interested in is Jerry Garcia Tiger guitar. And I just looked it up. He bought it in 2002. How much do you think he paid for it in 2002?

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

$202,000 probably.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'm going to say maybe more.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

500, $957,000. So basically a million dollars. So it's got to be like 10 million now.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's probably worth more than that now. So, like, there might be some of the shitty. I don't want to say shitty, but in the general scheme of his collection, the ones that he kept in the back. Yeah. If he's got any Warren Zon guitars, I would be interested in those.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

What if he has one of your guitars and you just didn't even realize it?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That'd be pretty cool.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That'd be really cool.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

If he does.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Hey, there's a PFT guitar. If he's got one, he lo. He lost it. And I. I got it on the black market.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

If he's got one of those, I'm going to let it go for auction.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And the money goes to charity in there. Yeah, money goes to charity.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Love that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So, yeah, I'm. This is the classic. I'm never going to financially recover from this.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Because I am. I just know my. I'm going to spend too much money on a guitar.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Okay. I got two fire fests quickly. One is the Halloween candy in my house. Showed Up Tuesday night. And I went to. I started going to town on it, and I said. My wife was like, wow, you got it pretty late. She's like, I did it because you ate all the candy last year. So she deliberately did not buy the candy until the week of.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's a sneaky move.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But then I took it as a challenge, and I ate more than I. Like. I got a real bad tummy ache on Tuesday night.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And you showed her.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I was eating so many little candies for the entire night because I was like, no one tells me that I can't eat candy. She's like, I got. I got this late, and I got extra because I knew that you would eat it, and I wanted to make sure we had some to pass out. And I was like, I'm gonna show her. I'm gonna make sure we have nothing to pass out.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You know. You know how they tell you that sugary candy ruins your teeth, that you get cavities from it?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yep. That's facts.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

What if you just eat it really.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Fast and it's not like pills?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Well, you. You, like, take two bites and then swallow.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

So it's not on your teeth for that long.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I like that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Everything that dentists.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No, probably not. Yeah, my other fire fest was I. I got a new car on Monday, and I was getting the car, and at least I lease. And I was at the dealership, and my wife came with me to that because she had to take my current car home when I picked up my new car. And we were sitting there waiting for the guy to come back for the paperwork, and she was like, hey, are you gonna. Are you gonna haggle? Are you gonna, like, get a deal? Yeah. And I was like, fuck. I didn't even think about this. Then the guy came back, and I just, like, blurted out to him. I was like, hey. Hey, man, my wife's gonna think I'm a real pussy if I don't haggle with. With you. And then she got up and left because she was like, I can't believe you just did that. And the guy was just standing there like, what? But all's well that ends well, because I did haggle, and I got a hat and a sweatshirt.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I love that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

The whole deal. How about that?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's pretty good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Pretty cool.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's a good deal, man.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's pretty cool. Hat and a sweatshirt and. Actually, I got a. I think it was a. I think it was a travel mug, but that one actually hurt me because the general manager came out at the end and he's like, hey, big fan. Love your stuff. Here's this. Travel mugs, like, dude, what the fuck?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's pretty sick though.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, you couldn't have, could have helped me out before this.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No, you're. Yeah, that's expert negotiation. Did you get any, like, sodas or any treats while you're doing so many mini waters?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I took a shower.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That's about it. But yeah, I, I, I thought it was a good move to just blurt it out and just be like, hey, man, I'm gonna look like a real pussy in front of my wife if we don't haggle right now.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's, it's not a bad move.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Break the ice.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, it's disarming.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And it got me a free hat and a sweatshirt.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, they don't just give those away to anybody.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No, I was like, well, actually, now that I'm replaying it in my head, I definitely, he definitely beat me on that too, because I wanted a jacket.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You got the sweatshirt.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I wanted a jacket. And he was like, I could. The best I can do is a sweatshirt.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's still pretty good. Like, most people walk out of there empty handed, just with a car.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

When it, when I did mine, I was, I, I pulled out my Costco card because he asked me for, like, a credit check or whatever. I was like, check this out, buddy. I'll do one better. Yeah, that's executive Costco membership. They don't give those to just anybody that walks through here.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And then I, the thing I asked him for at the end was because they had coffee that they had in there, and the place is not far away from my house. I was like, I want to stop in for a coffee whenever I want, and you have to give me some of your coffee. It was like, okay, unlimited coffee. Cool for life. Yeah, I have, I've stopped in there zero times.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You just need to get something.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

But I know that if, if I really need to stop in there, I will stop in there. Yeah, I'll be like, give me the joe.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Hell yes. Yeah, you should give me the card so I can stop in there.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Yeah, you got it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, the, the credit score thing, when we, when we went into, like, the finance, because they always make you, like, they make you talk to one person, and then they're like, all right, you're gonna go see the finance person.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That, that's where, that's where people get beat up.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Financing.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Yeah, that's what I got.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, you got beat.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. But then the woman like, puts out all the stuff. And I was like, let me like, how's that credit score? And she's like, it's perfect. I was like, hell, yes. And my wife was like, you don't know anything about any of our financial situation. I was the one who came. Got your credit score high. And I was like, yeah, so foiled again. But I do have a good credit score.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You go into that back room and you think that you're done.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Uhhuh.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

But you're not done because they hit you with every. The guy in there is like, I'm going to talk to you about the warranty.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Got that? Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

They got you with the warranty.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I got. I got everything. Everything that guy told me to get. I got.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Dude, they got me with the windshield.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

They're like, well, yep, I got.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You got a rock in the windshield.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

They're like, chicago, bad roads.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Construction. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

They said the same.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I got.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I got the same.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

They're like, listen, you. You can't just go to any windshield place. And I was like, well, how much does it cost? And it's like 3x the windshield. She's like, but you could break, like, two or three in the next three years. Yeah, happens all.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It happens all the time.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And then they say, okay, well, you're gonna want the tires for life. Right? The tires for life is also.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

I got everything.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You got tires for life.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

At one. At one point, I was like, I don't think I need that. And then he started to go. He started to go away from it, and then he was like, I really think you should get that. And I was like, all right, dude, shut the fuck up.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, because you want peace of mind.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

No, I just wanted the guy to shut up.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, sorry.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'll pay extra. Get the out of here.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Okay, Zach, your fire fest.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

My. My fire fest of the week this week is Zoom Calls.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, what happened?

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Riverside Calls. If we're depending on which one they were using.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I had.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

I had a body clock. Miss, Miss, miss clock. My internal time and the show time were on two different times.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

When was this?

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

This was. This was. This was Tuesday. Tuesday, Tuesday evening.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

After game four.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

After game four. And I know better than to. Than to not be in the Zoom on the Tuesday after game four. And I was so late to the Tuesday after game four.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So, yeah, Zach, he. How we work. Pardon my take is like, you know, we. On nights when we know we have to record late, we record the majority of the show here in the studio. Then we all go to Home. And we basically text, and we're like, hey, if this game is close, we'll start, you know, or as a blowout, we'll start recording. And then we all convene on Zoom at 10pm, 11pm so that we can do the first 10 minutes of the show at. On Tuesday night. 10:30 comes around. We all text. We're like, all right, let's hop on. Let's do the show. Zach. I called him. Memes called them. No response. So we just did the show. And then after we finished, Zach texted me, was like, I'm so sorry. I'm joining right now. And I was like, it's no problem. We haven't started yet. But we had already started, but then we pretended finished. We had finished, but then we were like, you know what? Let's just. We're not gonna make him feel bad. We're just gonna pretend that we haven't started. And Memes recorded it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Should I play it?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Okay. We already did the ad. We'll. We'll just pick up.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

All right.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Three, two, one. Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours. Today is Wednesday, October 29th, and we have an awesome World Series. Zach, what were your thoughts on the World Series?

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

I seen that the Blue Jays were able to win another game.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's 6 to 2 currently at the.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

End of the game. I didn't see the entire game.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

This is too mean. We already recorded, Zach.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, Zach, you're good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

We weren't even recording right there, what you just said. I thought we were recording. We were recording.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It's all right.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's fine. It's fine.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

You're good.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

You're good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Look at your face. Your face.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, my God, Zach, you're gonna have a heart attack.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No one's mad at you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

I'm sorry about that, guys. That super unprofessional.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No, it's okay. You've been sick for three days. That's the best one. Admitted that you're sick.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

We are a little under the weather, but the Toronto Blue Jays are above the weather.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, Zach, I'm sorry that you probably panicked when you woke up.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Yes, sir, but rightfully so.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I. I should.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No, stop. We don't care. It was fine. If you missed the whole show, it would have been different. It was ten minutes.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Zach, you're. You're doing the face.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You're good. Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No one's. No one's mad at you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

We're good.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

What did I say to you, too, after I said if you. The Only way you get in trouble is if you apologize to me on. On. On Wednesday. And then I just walked up to Zach on Wednesday. I was like, zach, how you doing? And it, like, took everything in his body not to apologize profusely, but he didn't.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

I did owe you one, but I know, because you requested not to.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

But it's. You were good. You were sick. You just.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

But I felt a certain kind of way.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You should have just say it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

But I did feel it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We knew you've been. You were sick for, like, three days in a row. And then, yeah, when you're sick, you probably nod off and fall asleep because your body needs to sleep. But that was pure panic in your eyes.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

The Blue Jays line was an absolute banger.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

It was perfect.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Like, you were so rattled in that moment and still had the wherewithal to be like, but the Blue Jays are above the weather. Above the weather is an awesome line.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Just trying to keep it professional.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He's trying to pause. Yeah, it was great.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, Zach, I love you, man.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I felt bad. I'm assuming Memes told him after, but I was walking out on Wednesday. I was like, all right, see you guys. See you on Zoom later. And, like, Zach's head, like, popped up a little bit.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

I gotta make sure I'm on top of it. And that was the next day. I just heard Zoom.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

And I was like, we're there.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We're on it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

All right. So, Zach, what happens if there's a World Series game on Saturday? What are we doing Saturday night?

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Saturday night. Saturday night. We're all going to get together, and.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

We'Re going to talk about it.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

No pod.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Saturday night, Sunday, we're going to talk about Saturday night.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That's exactly right.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yep.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Unless you guys decide emergency pod, and I'm in.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. I mean, that could happen at any moment. I would say there's a 0% chance it happens this. This weekend, but. Yeah, if one of our teams were in it. Emergency pods are always. But usually when emergency podcast possible, We. We are well aware that it's possible. We let everyone know that, hey, emergency pod could be happening.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Like, emergency pot on the table.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, there's not like an emergency. There's not like a Friday night. Everyone starts texting, being like, everyone, get your command center. We got an emergency pot.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Like if. If you remember that Thursday night that we had a few weeks ago when it was the Phillies against the Dodgers and then the Eagles against the Giants.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Like, if. If that had happened maybe on a Saturday night, we might have had to circle the wagons, be like, hey, it was.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You know what it was? If. If the Cubs had won game five against the brewers and they had been playing and. And the. And the Phillies had won against the Dodgers, and that Monday night was commanders Bears and Phillies versus Cubs, we would have emergency potted that night.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Gotcha.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That would have been 100 on the Monday night.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That would have been worthy of emergency pod. Do you have any other fyre fests?

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

This was kind of quick, but it is a little bit eye opening. We share a lot of things on this show, and sometimes it feels like we're just sharing them with each other because it gets kind of comfortable in.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Here and we're just.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

It's a good riff. I've got a very kind awl couple that lives in my building. And the other night I went home, ate some dinner. I was like, ooh, sweet treat. Maybe do a sweet treat. So I went across the street as.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

One does sweet concrete treat.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

It was. It was a double concrete sweet treat. I got. I got some dessert, and then I went back to my building and I was in the elevator, and there's a guy standing across from me in the elevator. Just. I know him now, but this gentleman just go, oh, I see. I see you got your word. Kind of threw me. I see you got your two concretes. And I didn't know what to say to him because it was like a world where like, my, like my in the elevator life going to my apartment, like, crossed his hands.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

He's doing the John Cena.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

They crossed.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

And I didn't know what to say to him, and I was just like, well, this is really unfortunate. And then he. I could tell he felt bad that I said that. And then he backpedaled.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Wait, you said, this is really unfortunate?

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

It just came out because it felt unfortunate because I felt like I was caught.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

This is bad.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

And so then he backpedals and is just like, oh, no, no, we do it too. And I was like, that's patronizing. Because you don't do this too. Like, you guys are attractive couple. You don't do this.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

He probably just gets single concrete.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Yeah, they probably share one.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Like on the couch with a movie.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

They're like, nice, like interpersonal relationship and like, codependency and a nice time.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah. Because, like, getting to the second concrete is when it's like, it's scary hours.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

That's when you do their favorite flavor, though.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You say that you saved the favorite flavor.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You got to.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

What's the first concrete.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

Just the least favorite of the two. But the first one is also good.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

You gotta have some.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

What was the first flavor?

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

The first flavor? This time I did the triple. Triple chocolate cake one. And then the second one was the. They do a banana pie, which is like banana, with the wafers. Like the Nilla wafers. And then marshmallow fluff.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And you went second on that?

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

I did.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And then never again, though.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Did the guy say he was in awl?

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

He did. I've spoken to him in the. In the. In the elevator before.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Oh, it just.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

They're. They're a very kind awl couple. And then he just.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

So how did this interaction end with him.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

With him going up him. As he's walking out the elevator going, don't worry, we do it too.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

As the door was shutting.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, Shout out that guy.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Good guy. I love it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Don't worry, we do it too.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

But I never saw that coming.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

That was nice of that guy to. To say that.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, it was.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

It was. He's a great guy.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

I just.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

I just folded under the pressure of the concrete.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Wait, what did you say back to him? That's unfortunate.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

So this is unfortunate.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Didn't really mean to.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

It just kind of came out.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

That's what you were feeling?

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, I love it. All right. Good show, boys. Happy Halloween, everyone. Be safe.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah. Shane. Are you worried that there's gonna be.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Are you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Are you worried there's going to be a lot of you? Yeah, it's gonna. That's gonna probably be the most popular because it's a cool guy. Like, you look cool. Right. I saw Gooch had it, but I ordered my stuff like a week before.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I said before.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

That doesn't matter. Yeah, well, I'm just saying. But like, when you show up to a party, you're gonna have to figure out what your plan is when there's another you.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

And the timing of the movie when it came out, it's like, I saw it, I was like, oh, yeah, next month. That could be a good house.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

And it's, like, super comfortable bowl, too.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

So, yeah, I feel like it's gonna.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Be pretty popular, but whatever. Yeah, back, like. Like, maybe, like 15 years ago, I went to a Halloween party, and there were two Al Borlands, and I tried to get him to fight. I, like, kept on going up to one of them, being like, dude, are you gonna let him also be Al Borland fights? Yeah. Like, someone's got to be the alpha. Al Borland.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You can't just have two at a party, so you got to be ready to fight. I'm prepared. Okay. Nice. And then. Pug, what are you. Sup? What are you?

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

I'm a pug in a pug costume. Pugception.

Oh, thank you. I'm.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

I'm on meme Society.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah, but memes.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

If I wasn't on memes aside, I'd say you guys, that's just flirting with it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Zach)]

So that.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

That means Hank thinks I'll actually get it.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

No. Yeah, it's the best. Because I think I looked at that get part of my balls website. I've guessed it three over 200 times. It is never possible. Oh, no. But, Hank, I think we're gonna judge it in days and also guesses, and I want memes to break the record in guesses.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, you don't want memes to.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Is that not. Is it not in days.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

It's in days. But we also can break it down. Pardon? By balls. Please break it down and guesses. We can. We can. Okay.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

No, I'm saying you said that like we can.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, because it's the same thing.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

How many times have we done this? And you haven't got the lottery ball. Correct.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Yeah.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

And he could break your record.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

All right, press.

[Brian Baldinger (Baldy)]

Press button.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

You're not going to get it this time. It's just another one that we have to throw on there, I think.

[Pardon My Take Host (Max)]

Get it right here. Oh, so closest.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Yeah, it is.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Oh, man. Memes, onions. You're flirting with it. Give us. Give us a sign off.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Meme.

[Pardon My Take Host (Dan 'Big Cat' Katz)]

Shrek. Yeah, my swamp.

[Pardon My Take Host (PFT Commenter)]

Love you guys.

[Pardon My Take Host (Memes)]

Sa.
