Today is Monday, August 4th, and PFT. I'm starting to think Michael Parsons and the Cowboys do not like each other.
[03:57]
Big Cat
That's interesting. That's interesting because all the talk in the world was about scary Terry on Thursday, and we told people, keep your eye on the ball. Michael Parsons. It was quite a statement.
[04:07]
PFT Commenter
Quite a statement. The Notes app, was it?
[04:10]
Big Cat
Well, there was the Notes app, which is on a dark mode, which I appreciate. I feel like that's the. That's the more impactful way to make a statement on Notes app.
[04:16]
PFT Commenter
What I didn't appreciate is he didn't cut up the Notes app correctly. So you would, like read one and then you would go to the next slide and you start halfway through what you just read. Don't like to do the extra reading. Just a little note for Michael Parsons. For future Notes apps, let's just, let's clean that up. Clean that part up.
[04:34]
Big Cat
I don't really mind that because I get so distracted when I'm reading a Notes app that's in four different panels that by the time I get to the second panel, it's helpful to reread what I just read the first one. But yeah, you could tell that he put that out there, too. Oh, yeah, his Notes app. Not a Notes app that was texted to an agent who then did the very valuable work of copying and pasting and cropping the corners out of the notes.
[04:55]
PFT Commenter
No, it's straight from his phone. You can see it.
[04:57]
Big Cat
It was right on there. So it wasn't as far as declaring himself independent from the Dallas Cowboys, but he just said, I no longer want to be a part of the organization. I want to trade you kind of me over. Because we talked about that. Was not a negotiation. Then you won't speak to my agent.
[05:13]
PFT Commenter
Which is apparently a Jerry Jones special.
[05:16]
Hank
Yeah.
[05:16]
PFT Commenter
Because I saw there was also going viral the time that he. Jerry Jones, and Bill Parcells basically took Tony Romo into a closet and basically said, this is the deal we want you to sign. And he was just like, well, I'm not signing it, and my agent isn't here. So Jerry Jones likes to do this little wheeling and dealing talking to you. The story goes that he sat with Michael Parsons talking about leadership in the off season. Then they started talking numbers. And then basically they called up his agent, was like, hey, we got the deal done. And his agent's like, what are you talking about? I haven't talked to you about any of this.
[05:49]
Hank
Yeah.
[05:50]
PFT Commenter
Kind of scummy behavior. Micah Parsons, it feels. And there was bad body language, too. They were not happy with each other on the sideline because he's holding in.
[05:58]
Big Cat
Had his back to Stephen Jones Glory Holden.
[06:01]
PFT Commenter
Jerry Jones is doing weird Jerry Jones pressers where he. The one I. I noted was. He said, when I grew up, I knew when mama wouldn't let me do something, going to daddy and daddy letting me do it, then going back in and saying to mama, daddy said I could do it. That old mama daddy stuff. We got here doing that by nature. We're not going to do that.
[06:23]
Big Cat
That's. That's really weird because I think in this analogy, he's referring to his son.
[06:27]
Hank
Yeah.
[06:27]
Big Cat
As mommy also.
[06:29]
Hank
I.
[06:29]
PFT Commenter
That's such a crazy quote. I was like. I had to double check and be like, is this. Is. Is this made up? But it was. A real reporter had reported that.
[06:36]
Big Cat
No, I think he. I think he turned Stephen into mommy.
[06:38]
Hank
Yeah.
[06:38]
Big Cat
In that equation.
[06:39]
PFT Commenter
So not doing the mommy daddy stuff.
[06:41]
Big Cat
Not to the mommy daddy stuff.
[06:42]
PFT Commenter
You refuse.
[06:43]
Big Cat
And then Florio's all over because this is a wet dream for him, of course. And so he. He came up with an idea. You want to hear a dream that's gonna piss you off?
[06:49]
Hank
Okay.
[06:50]
Big Cat
Okay. This is Florio's idea. He's not wrong. But it's gonna piss you off. For a player in the last year of his contract, his obligation ends with the final game of the regular season, which means that he can walk out at the start of the postseason or at any point during the playoffs with no contractual consequence. I like that Florio is saying that a player in this situation in the final year of their contract would be within their rights at the start of the season to say, I'm going to play. I'm going to play out my contract, but if we make the playoffs, I'm not going to play any playoffs.
[07:19]
PFT Commenter
There's double fan fiction, because it has the fan fiction the Dallas Cowboys making the playoffs.
[07:23]
Hank
Yep.
[07:24]
PFT Commenter
And then the fan fiction of Micah Parsons walking out on a playoff team.
[07:27]
Big Cat
So I was thinking about this. I think the only reason why Micah Parsons would not come out and say that is, is because he knows that everybody's response would be like, what do you mean? In the playoffs?
[07:35]
Hank
Yeah.
[07:36]
Big Cat
Which is a deterrent for him.
[07:37]
Hank
Right.
[07:38]
Big Cat
But yeah, that's. It's. It's taking the college argument of sitting out bowl season, moving it to the NFL.
[07:43]
PFT Commenter
I like that.
[07:44]
Big Cat
And then Florio's stirring it up a little bit.
[07:46]
PFT Commenter
He is. I like that. Also, Jerry Jones is.
[07:49]
Hank
He.
[07:50]
PFT Commenter
He just keeps taking shots. Like I said, we, we. We talked about this like a month ago. That he is in that senile old phase where he's just saying. And you're like, I really wish you wouldn't say that Thanksgiving table uncle shit. Because he was asked about if it bothered him reading Micah Parsons statement, and he said, not a bit. I can't tell you how many hundreds of times I heard that negotiation. And then when he was asked about fans yelling for him to sign Parsons on the sidelines, he said it was just so much louder. Walking off the field last year with CD Lamb.
[08:20]
Hank
Yeah.
[08:20]
PFT Commenter
So he's just taking a dig at. At Micah right there for no reason. And meanwhile. It's fun. This is fun.
[08:27]
Big Cat
Meanwhile, CD Lamb and he said something on Twitter, Trayvon Diggs overshone.
[08:33]
PFT Commenter
And they all have his back.
[08:34]
Big Cat
Another guy, they changed their. Their profile pictures to Micah Parsons.
[08:37]
Hank
Okay.
[08:38]
Big Cat
And then DEZ Bryant is also weighing in because DEZ Bryant went through a weird contract negotiation with Jerry Jones where Jay Z got involved. And yeah, Jerry claimed that Jay Z was not returning his calls. And then they eventually got the. The deal done on a cocktail napkin. Which also presents another problem, because one, it's not a contract to. Jay Z was never actually a certified agent.
[08:59]
PFT Commenter
Yes.
[08:59]
Big Cat
For the NFL. So that it brings up the question, can you just declare yourself independent from an NFL team?
[09:06]
PFT Commenter
This is what Florio would love.
[09:08]
Big Cat
Can we do that?
[09:08]
PFT Commenter
Is that a thing?
[09:10]
Hank
You can.
[09:10]
Big Cat
You can just be like, I am no longer a cowboy.
[09:12]
PFT Commenter
He wants to get. He wants to get rid of the draft.
[09:14]
Hank
Yeah.
[09:14]
PFT Commenter
He's just like, I'm not playing for the Cowboys.
[09:16]
Big Cat
So, I mean, if Jerry is in fact, like, trying to negotiate Directly with players and not negotiating with their agents. There might be a loophole in there. I don't know.
[09:25]
Saquon Barkley
I'm not sure.
[09:25]
PFT Commenter
Also, they should just trade them because the Cowboys are not a Super bowl team right now and if you don't want to pay them, trade him. He guaranteed two.
[09:36]
Hank
Yeah.
[09:36]
PFT Commenter
Two first rounders.
[09:37]
Hank
Yeah.
[09:37]
Big Cat
It's like guaranteed situation.
[09:39]
PFT Commenter
And the Khalil Mack was a good trade for the Bears. They just. The timeline of Mitch did not work out how they thought it would. Yeah, that would be a mistake if. I don't know. I would trade him in a second. If you any team should trade him for two first rounds. Is there going to be a guy in the next two drafts that's going to be better than Micah Parsons? I don't think so.
[09:56]
Big Cat
I don't know. He's got 12 sacks in his first four seasons. He's a monster. I'm looking, I'm trying to feel, I'm trying to figure out who the Raiders got with those Khalil Mac picks they got.
[10:05]
PFT Commenter
No, it was really bad.
[10:07]
Big Cat
Let's see who did the Raiders.
[10:08]
PFT Commenter
No one good. I think it was Leatherwood or whatever.
[10:12]
Big Cat
So it was a lose, lose trade? Kind of.
[10:14]
PFT Commenter
No. Well, Mac was good for the. It was not a. Yeah, the Bear. The Bears trading for Cleo Mack was not. Khalil Mack was not the problem for that. It was that you traded for him. Being like, Mitch is going to progress and get better and better and better. When Mission get better and better, better. You then were out. Out of picks to maneuver out of that. Yeah, he became like the Cleo Mack part of it was correct. Like he was a monster.
[10:37]
Big Cat
He was good, but he became like a luxury player, which is like.
[10:39]
PFT Commenter
Well, yeah, because the quarterback didn't come along. You were like, hey, we gotta. The thought process behind it was correct. It's just you need the quarterback on a rookie contract to get better. As he gets to second, third, fourth year.
[10:51]
Big Cat
The Bills should give a call.
[10:53]
PFT Commenter
The Bill should give him a call. Patriots. Patriots should give.
[10:58]
Lane Johnson
What are the odds It's Cowboys minus three.
[11:02]
PFT Commenter
Three. You meant 12 sacks last year.
[11:04]
Big Cat
Patriots. I thought he had 12,000 sacks in his first four seasons.
[11:07]
Lane Johnson
Eagles plus a thousand.
[11:08]
PFT Commenter
Who? Micah Parsons?
[11:09]
Hank
Yeah.
[11:09]
Big Cat
No, every year.
[11:10]
PFT Commenter
Oh, every year.
[11:12]
Big Cat
Yeah, every year. He's four years into his career. Every single one of his first four years, he has at least 12 sacks. He has at least 12, which is pretty.
[11:19]
Hank
Yeah.
[11:20]
Big Cat
I think that's the first player to do that since Reggie White.
[11:22]
Hank
Yeah.
[11:22]
PFT Commenter
He has 52 and a half sacks through four seasons. Yeah, I mean, well, Max is trying to get him. Max is trying to trade a person. They would never stool as well.
[11:30]
Hank
You know.
[11:30]
Cam Juergens
That was Stu. That was. That was a tough one.
[11:32]
PFT Commenter
You guys see the tweet?
[11:33]
Big Cat
What Max do?
[11:34]
PFT Commenter
I said how.
[11:35]
Hank
Hold on.
[11:35]
Big Cat
Traffic.
[11:36]
PFT Commenter
Pull it up.
[11:36]
Hank
Don't.
[11:37]
PFT Commenter
Don't tell us what it is. It's. This was.
[11:40]
Cam Juergens
We're not doing this again this week.
[11:42]
PFT Commenter
What do you mean? This is you. You were trying to negotiate a deal on Friday afternoon. Doing what? I'll tell you the exact tweet. I'm going to pull it up because I don't want Max.
[11:51]
Cam Juergens
I will pull it up.
[11:52]
PFT Commenter
No, I'm going to pull it up. I'm going to pull it up. Here it comes. This is from Maxwell Delente on August 1st. Is there any possible way for us to make a person's trade work?
[12:04]
Big Cat
A person's trade?
[12:05]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, he's trying to trade people.
[12:07]
Cam Juergens
Human traffic and A are close to each other.
[12:11]
Big Cat
On the key.
[12:11]
PFT Commenter
I thought he was trying to trade someone at barstool.
[12:13]
Big Cat
There's an S in between Max.
[12:16]
Cam Juergens
It's still there. And the W. It's still that. It's still close. I didn't say it was next.
[12:21]
Big Cat
I said it was close. Have you ever participated in human trafficking?
[12:24]
Cam Juergens
I have not. I wanted Micah Parsons 10 to 1 on the DraftKings sportsbook.
[12:30]
PFT Commenter
Every team should want Micah Parsons. This is a no brainer. He's 26 years old.
[12:34]
Cam Juergens
The Eagles. Eagles have the next best odds. 10 to 1. DraftKing sportsbook.
[12:37]
PFT Commenter
I offered Michael Parsons free ice cream for life in the DMs. If he signs with the Bears. That's everyone. Do your part.
[12:43]
Lane Johnson
Any response?
[12:44]
PFT Commenter
No, Red, but I'd rather be on the Bears than he does.
[12:48]
Hank
Follow me.
[12:50]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, I mean he's an unbelievable player and like I said, if you're, if you're going to. It's not like in baseball where you, you know, guys will get traded for a one year rental. Then they'll go sign somewhere else. If Michael Parsons gets traded, he's going to sign a deal the next day. Is it the day that he shows up to his new team?
[13:06]
Big Cat
If it actually happens where Micah Parsons just never plays for the Cowboys again. If he just says I'm done with the Cowboys and I mean it, I will not play another down of football for you. Are we going to. Is there going to be like an uprising against Jerry Jones? Is this like the bridge too far? Because Cowboys fans have dealt with a lot of shit from Jerry.
[13:22]
PFT Commenter
Oh no. Cowboys fans Deserve to be mad at Jerry Jones. Yes, because he is losing it.
[13:26]
Lane Johnson
So if a star player sits out, it's going to be. These people are going to uprise against the owner.
[13:31]
Big Cat
I'm saying in this case with Michael Parsons, because there's been a lot of stuff that's happened that Cowboys fans are not happy with. And if the star player sits out because the owner screwed up the negotiations by inserting himself and then trying to take a fake deal to get it signed, that seems like it's a problem.
[13:49]
PFT Commenter
And it's also. This is what the Cowboys do. Like, good organizations get their good players signed before it becomes a problem. Jerry Jones feels like every player, every big player, he has a problem, and then he gets it figured out. And this all. We should. We should also put a disclaimer on this. Similar to last year. This could all be Jerry Jones trying to steal the headlines week one. And Micah Parsons gets a massive deal.
[14:13]
Big Cat
Right before on Sunday morning.
[14:15]
PFT Commenter
No, no, it'll be Thursday night kickoff.
[14:17]
Big Cat
Yeah, the first.
[14:18]
PFT Commenter
The first game of the season, like, where they. They agree, hey, Micah, come back to camp. We'll get it figured out. Wink, wink.
[14:24]
Hank
We'll.
[14:24]
PFT Commenter
We'll sign you all your numbers, and then we can announce it as you're walking in to the link and basically try to steal banner night from the Eagles. That could absolutely be on the table.
[14:34]
Big Cat
Anything could be on the table, Jerry.
[14:35]
Hank
Yeah.
[14:36]
PFT Commenter
You know that. That's a Jerry Jones move. I mean, he did that last year. It wasn't. Didn't really have the same pop when it was Dak coming out of the.
[14:42]
Big Cat
Tunnel in Cleveland, but he thought it was.
[14:44]
PFT Commenter
He did think it was Max. Do you want him? Everyone should want.
[14:48]
Cam Juergens
I want him.
[14:48]
PFT Commenter
No one. No one should be saying no to Micah Parsons.
[14:51]
Cam Juergens
The other thing is, you keep talking about this not playing a year thing. He's done it before.
[14:54]
PFT Commenter
True.
[14:55]
Cam Juergens
He didn't play. He didn't. He sat out his whole year. His whole Covid year.
[14:59]
Hank
Yeah.
[15:00]
Big Cat
All right, so Cowboys still favored, then Eagles, Patriots, Chargers, all pretty much the same odds.
[15:07]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it's. I mean, again, it's. I know the two first rounds seem like a lot, but Micah Parsons is really good at football.
[15:15]
Big Cat
Yeah. I just don't think that. Max, as much as I would want you to be happy with having Micah Parsons on your team, I don't. I don't see Jerry training it inside the division.
[15:24]
PFT Commenter
Well, it's also like.
[15:24]
Cam Juergens
Yeah, it makes no sense. There's no way he would do that. But it is. You know, it's interesting that we have. That we have the best, the next best.
[15:32]
Big Cat
It is interesting.
[15:33]
PFT Commenter
It is interesting.
[15:33]
Cam Juergens
I don't know why we would have the next best odds, but it.
[15:35]
Big Cat
I think Howie, I think the reason is you have Howie and Howie is a wild.
[15:40]
Cam Juergens
He loves the Eagles. Micah just loves them Eagles. I think if he had the choice, he would want to go to the Eagles.
[15:45]
Big Cat
He grew up Birds fan, he grew.
[15:47]
Cam Juergens
Up in the area and he also. And he has those clips every single year during he does. He live streams the drafts and the Eagles always get good picks. And he's like, how the fuck are they doing this again? He is always sucking off the Eagles.
[16:01]
PFT Commenter
Okay, so that's.
[16:04]
Hank
Yeah.
[16:04]
PFT Commenter
I mean that was the big story for the weekend. How do we have any update on Terry?
[16:10]
Big Cat
I'm. I'm no longer worried about Terry.
[16:12]
Hank
Oh.
[16:12]
Big Cat
Because I saw a 10 second clip of him going up to Josh Harris shaking his hand.
[16:15]
PFT Commenter
I did see that as well.
[16:16]
Big Cat
Hugging Jaden's mom. And then I. That's all I need to see business. As James Cook is saying, just business.
[16:22]
PFT Commenter
Okay.
[16:23]
Big Cat
It's a negotiating tactic. I don't think that Terry actually wants to get traded. I think that the trade request, that's just the next thing that you do in this type of negotiation. First you try the hold out, then you try the hold in, then you request a trade. Again, request, not demand a trade. Very politely asking for a trade.
[16:40]
PFT Commenter
If you're not, please, sir, can I have a trade?
[16:42]
Big Cat
Listen, if it's not too much trouble, would it be okay with you if you were to allow me to be traded and then like, ah, you know what, I'm pretty busy right now. We can't do it. Okay, no worries, no worries.
[16:50]
Lane Johnson
What if it was a respect thing though? What if it was like, you know, we tried. Always respect you. Thank you. Oh, Mrs. Daniels, Jane's mom, whatever.
[16:57]
Big Cat
Oh, I don't think they, they look very happy to see.
[17:00]
PFT Commenter
Hey, business is business. So you're saying Terry's basically sending an email being like, hey, I know you've had a busy week, but if you could quickly just look at this contract and sign off on it. He's sending and if there's any issues, I don't want to be a bother.
[17:11]
Big Cat
Whatsoever, sign Terry McLaren, no worries. But yeah. And then he used the word just like five times.
[17:17]
Hank
Yeah.
[17:17]
PFT Commenter
What if it was 34 millions?
[17:18]
Hank
Haha.
[17:19]
Big Cat
I was wondering if, Jess, maybe you could take a look at the contract and maybe you could add 2 or 3 million per year. Just that.
[17:25]
Hank
Yeah.
[17:26]
Big Cat
If not, it's no big deal. Just a little extra. Hey, no worries. No worries if you can't do it.
[17:30]
Hank
Yeah. All right.
[17:32]
PFT Commenter
So you're not worried?
[17:33]
Hank
I'm.
[17:33]
PFT Commenter
Because of a handshake.
[17:34]
Big Cat
I'm no longer worried because it very.
[17:35]
PFT Commenter
Well could be him saying, hey, dude, it's. It's no, you know, nothing personal here. Love being a commander, but it's not going to happen.
[17:43]
Big Cat
No, I mean, if. If you know anything about Josh. Josh Harris's history of handshakes on camera. This was a handshake that he meant.
[17:50]
PFT Commenter
Did you see the tweet? That was very funny. I don't think this is how it works, but a Twitter account. Terry Franconia said the best thing Paul George has done for Philadelphia is take 55 million from Josh Harris this upcoming year. So you can't give it to Terry McLaurin.
[18:06]
Max
I thought that was pretty funny.
[18:07]
PFT Commenter
And I don't know if that's how it works.
[18:09]
Cam Juergens
I think it's exactly how it works.
[18:10]
Hank
Yeah.
[18:11]
PFT Commenter
Like, I don't. I read a couple replies and people like, that's not how it works. I'm like, I don't really know how it works, but it seems like it could work that way.
[18:17]
Hank
It might.
[18:18]
Big Cat
It might be how it works.
[18:19]
PFT Commenter
That would be catastrophic for upfd because you do like making fun of Paul George. And if that was.
[18:25]
Big Cat
Oh, I don't. I wouldn't say I like making fun of Paul George. He's a podcaster.
[18:28]
Stephen Che
He's a.
[18:29]
Big Cat
He's a colleague.
[18:29]
PFT Commenter
Respect.
[18:30]
Big Cat
He's a brother in arms.
[18:31]
PFT Commenter
But if that was exact. What if Josh Harris did it? Like, he wasn't able to sign him and he was like, it's because of Paul George.
[18:37]
Big Cat
It's really. If you want to trace it back, it's Ben Simmons.
[18:40]
Hank
Yeah.
[18:41]
PFT Commenter
Paul George is what he just paid.
[18:42]
Hank
Yeah.
[18:45]
PFT Commenter
And well, also, I guess the mb. Did you guys see the. Not to get a tangent here, but there was a report that Joel. Joel's Embiid's knee in league. League circles is way worse than people are. Are saying publicly.
[18:59]
Big Cat
You think that's true?
[19:00]
PFT Commenter
I think that's true.
[19:01]
Big Cat
I do trust league circles.
[19:02]
PFT Commenter
League circles are saying that. That it is a big problem.
[19:06]
Big Cat
What is a league circle? Is that agent's friend?
[19:10]
PFT Commenter
I think it's just a group text. Yeah, it's group tax resilo.
[19:13]
Hank
Yeah.
[19:13]
Big Cat
Russell thumbs up. I think the knees worse.
[19:15]
PFT Commenter
Did you see that, Max?
[19:17]
Cam Juergens
He was at the Phil's game, but.
[19:19]
PFT Commenter
Did you see the league circles?
[19:21]
Hank
He looked good.
[19:22]
Cam Juergens
He looked good on the sideline of the Phillies Game.
[19:24]
PFT Commenter
Was he standing or was he in. Was he in a handicap seat?
[19:27]
Cam Juergens
No, he was on the field.
[19:28]
PFT Commenter
Oh, okay. Was he in the cart?
[19:31]
Cam Juergens
He was not in a cart.
[19:32]
Hank
No. Okay.
[19:33]
PFT Commenter
Was he. Was he leaning on anyone?
[19:36]
Stephen Che
I think he was.
[19:37]
Cam Juergens
The picture that I saw, I do think he was leaning against the dugout.
[19:39]
Hank
Oh, no.
[19:40]
Big Cat
Did he throw it?
[19:41]
PFT Commenter
Stand upright?
[19:41]
Cam Juergens
Take a look. Let's take a look here.
[19:43]
PFT Commenter
Can't stand upright. Did you guys see. Now we're going real tangent. Did you guys see that? There was. There was a tweet that went viral, like, maybe a month or two ago that was, like, in the Cold War Russian spot.
[19:55]
Hank
Oh, yeah.
[19:56]
PFT Commenter
He's not standing on his own.
[19:57]
Big Cat
He's taking all of his body weight off.
[19:59]
PFT Commenter
He's leaning. He's. That's a heavy lean. Max.
[20:03]
Hank
That's.
[20:03]
PFT Commenter
No, that's nothing on his knee.
[20:04]
Big Cat
Does it. But he's not moving his right arm. Does he still have the palsy? He is moving his right arm just a little bit. Not as nearly as much as left. That's.
[20:12]
Cam Juergens
That's aura. You don't know anything about that.
[20:15]
PFT Commenter
The tweet I saw was in the Cold War. Russia was able to figure out who was, like, a American spy or just an American because they would lean on things. And it got in my head, and I realized that I lean on everything.
[20:27]
Big Cat
Wait, is that true?
[20:27]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it's like a cultural thing that Americans lean on things because we're lazy.
[20:31]
Hank
Yeah.
[20:31]
PFT Commenter
And I. I realized very quickly, like, I started checking myself after I read that. I was like, dude, I fucking lean all the time.
[20:39]
Hank
Yeah.
[20:39]
PFT Commenter
I never. You. You'll never catch me just standing.
[20:42]
Hank
Yeah.
[20:43]
Big Cat
Why would you. Russians don't do it.
[20:46]
PFT Commenter
I guess a lot of other. I mean, I know Asians. This Asian squat.
[20:50]
Big Cat
Yeah. Asians, yeah, they do squat.
[20:51]
PFT Commenter
But, yeah, I guess it's a lazy American thing. We just like to lean on shit.
[20:55]
Big Cat
Irish, too.
[20:56]
Hank
Yeah.
[20:56]
Cam Juergens
Because they're drunk and be real American.
[20:58]
PFT Commenter
Real American. Well, no, that's his knee.
[21:03]
Cam Juergens
Did you see the end of the clip?
[21:04]
Stephen Che
He wasn't leaning.
[21:05]
PFT Commenter
He was, like, gingerly turning around.
[21:08]
Big Cat
He was falling over. He lost his balance.
[21:11]
PFT Commenter
All right, well, let's get back to football. Would you guys like to talk about any other football? Maybe some clips that went around these, like, stupid drills where they're throwing into nets and stuff.
[21:20]
Big Cat
I was actually telling Hank about this earlier because we've reached a point in the offseason where people are just. They're hunting to find the very worst Caleb Williams clip get from that practice, knowing that it's guaranteed to do numbers. And you know what?
[21:31]
Hank
It will.
[21:31]
Big Cat
And I love all of them.
[21:32]
Hank
Yeah.
[21:33]
Big Cat
Because they're funny. I don't think that has any bearing on whether or not this one went good this year.
[21:36]
PFT Commenter
This one's AI.
[21:37]
Big Cat
I think he's going to be good this year. But hey, I love watching these videos.
[21:40]
Hank
AI.
[21:41]
PFT Commenter
That looks AI to me.
[21:43]
Lane Johnson
He just starts away.
[21:46]
PFT Commenter
Look, it's not a great clip. I did see another one that got like, no retweets of him actually nailing the drills. Also, I. Last I checked, receivers have hands, so all those would probably be caught.
[21:58]
Lane Johnson
I mean, they're just football's back, but like, who cares? It's a pro.
[22:03]
Hank
I get it.
[22:03]
PFT Commenter
I get the game.
[22:04]
Lane Johnson
Six throw practice drill.
[22:05]
PFT Commenter
There was another one at Soldier Field today. It's, it's. This is why we say six out of ten.
[22:11]
Hank
Look, you gotta.
[22:12]
PFT Commenter
You gotta hit. You gotta hit in the holes. The one win I did get out of this though was our good friend Ryan Whitney, who has told us because of our stance with Connor McDavid, he's going to be rooting against us all the time. So he sent me the clip and he said, sick. He looks awesome. Being obviously facetious. And I said, that's AI, dude. And I said, you see this dog scuba diving? And then Whitney said, wait, that is AI, the Caleb one. And I was like, no, it wasn't. But I got you to believe that for a second. So that's a win for today.
[22:42]
Big Cat
Yeah, you can make him believe. He definitely believed it for a second. Yeah.
[22:45]
Hank
Yeah. Look at this one.
[22:46]
PFT Commenter
Does the alternate angle or another time when he's doing the drill and he was, he was crushing it.
[22:49]
Big Cat
The funniest part of the one where he misses the net is that he like hits the coach behind the net on the last replacement. Yeah, it's a, It's a funny clip.
[22:56]
Hank
Yeah.
[22:56]
PFT Commenter
I mean, listen, this is. Unfortunately, this is the spot that I find myself in. Caleb finds himself in. That any bad. What happened to not. Not filming from the sideline?
[23:08]
Big Cat
That might have been during the 20 minutes I was.
[23:10]
PFT Commenter
I was going through all like the whole list of it.
[23:12]
Hank
Like I.
[23:13]
PFT Commenter
That, that actually is illegal. We should get that copyrighted, taken down.
[23:17]
Big Cat
There's music playing in the background.
[23:19]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, there's another. There's another clip that we need to, to, you know, signal boost. What are you gonna say? We'll see. We'll see how it goes when. When he's out on the field. But yeah, it is, it is. Basically, if you click on one, Caleb Williams Video, you can get trapped pretty quickly into just highlights or lowlights of his camp.
[23:38]
Big Cat
It might be my algorithm now. It might be, like, tested videos for me.
[23:41]
PFT Commenter
It happens. It happens, it happens. So whatever. It's practice, right, Hank?
[23:47]
Big Cat
It's practice.
[23:48]
Lane Johnson
Although the. The stats from today don't look great.
[23:51]
Big Cat
Practice.
[23:52]
PFT Commenter
I'm talking about the practice stats.
[23:54]
Lane Johnson
Are these true? I mean, it was at Soldier Field.
[23:56]
Hank
Are you.
[23:57]
PFT Commenter
Are you talking about practice stats?
[23:59]
Lane Johnson
5 for 17 with three interceptions.
[24:01]
PFT Commenter
Dude, they're overloading them with stuff.
[24:03]
Big Cat
You want to make these mistakes in the preseason. That's how you learn.
[24:07]
Lane Johnson
It is just practice.
[24:08]
PFT Commenter
It's just.
[24:09]
Lane Johnson
It's August. We got another.
[24:10]
PFT Commenter
I can't believe this is my life. Smiling through it all. I think practice.
[24:13]
Big Cat
Didn't Tua go, like, seven practices without throwing a pick? And then the fans all clapped when he finally threw one. Yeah, that's. They know ball.
[24:20]
Hank
Yeah.
[24:20]
Big Cat
Miami. Good sports town. That's what we all.
[24:22]
Cam Juergens
This was Jalen Hurts last year when you. This was you. No, it was actually not good.
[24:28]
Big Cat
That's not. Everything's about the Eagles.
[24:30]
PFT Commenter
This one might be this one this year.
[24:33]
Cam Juergens
No, this was an entire bit that you guys did.
[24:35]
Big Cat
This is about two months last year. This is happening right now with Tua currently. Yeah, it happened. I think his. His streak ended today.
[24:44]
Cam Juergens
Are you. But are you forgetting that this was a bit that happened?
[24:46]
PFT Commenter
Like, I don't know what you saw. I do remember that you just kept.
[24:50]
Cam Juergens
Making fun of me and saying that it's not good that it's not good that he hasn't thrown an interception yet.
[24:55]
Big Cat
I'm just talking about what's happening right now with tua. The fans clap because he finally threw a pick. Good sports town.
[25:02]
PFT Commenter
Do you.
[25:02]
Big Cat
Do you not believe that it's also happening to Tua?
[25:06]
Cam Juergens
I'm sure it is, but, like, that was, like, a bit on this show for a month.
[25:10]
PFT Commenter
It was. It was. And I. No, actually, no, I don't. I don't take back any of that bit because Caleb Williams throws interceptions in practice, so he's a good quarterback.
[25:19]
Big Cat
It's good.
[25:20]
Hank
Yeah.
[25:20]
PFT Commenter
That's good. It's good.
[25:21]
Big Cat
Really, these mistakes.
[25:22]
PFT Commenter
By the way, speaking of the dolphins, Mike McDaniel and Tyreek Hill do not like each other.
[25:26]
Big Cat
I didn't know that. I was very, very unsure that Tyreek would be back in Miami this year. Did they try to trade him?
[25:31]
PFT Commenter
He's doing the. He's doing, like, a hybrid of the hold in just be an asshole while participating thing.
[25:39]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[25:41]
PFT Commenter
He's just. He's Just criticizing his fourth down. Play calling clown reek.
[25:46]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[25:47]
PFT Commenter
It doesn't feel great. This is what this time of the year is for, though. It's just people being. It's like Pete Carroll throwing a flag in a practice, A challenge flag. Caleb's missing a bunch of targets. Everyone having a good laugh and, you know, guys holding in, holding out.
[26:04]
Big Cat
Do you think that Pete, Carolyn. Is in his year off? Do you think he was chewing gum?
[26:08]
PFT Commenter
Yes.
[26:08]
Big Cat
I. I feel like he waits for football for that. I don't see him walking around the house doing it. I gotta know.
[26:13]
PFT Commenter
No, I think he was doing it while he's watching football.
[26:14]
Hank
Yeah.
[26:15]
Big Cat
When football's on tv.
[26:15]
Stephen Che
Yeah.
[26:16]
Hank
Yeah.
[26:16]
PFT Commenter
When he's watching tape.
[26:17]
Hank
Yeah.
[26:17]
PFT Commenter
He's grinding tape.
[26:18]
Big Cat
I do have an Update on day nine of Brown's training camp.
[26:21]
PFT Commenter
Okay.
[26:21]
Big Cat
For their QB tracker that they've got.
[26:23]
PFT Commenter
Okay.
[26:24]
Big Cat
Flacco, 11 for 18, one touchdown, no picks. Sanders did not throw. Dylan Gabriel, 11 for 22, one touchdown, no picks. Pickett injured, did not throw.
[26:36]
Hank
Ooh.
[26:36]
Big Cat
I think it's gonna be Flacco.
[26:37]
PFT Commenter
Guys, listen, as someone who is someone who sees training camp and being like, everything that happens there is actually more important than the games, and we should need to take it very seriously. It's Flacco.
[26:47]
Big Cat
Flack. It's gotta be Flacco.
[26:48]
PFT Commenter
It's gotta be Flacco because these. These reps matter.
[26:51]
Hank
Yeah.
[26:51]
PFT Commenter
If you're laughing about these reps, you don't know ball.
[26:54]
Big Cat
So we do we have a full stat tracker for him there, Max. Is that what you have?
[26:57]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, this is the full through Saturday.
[27:02]
Big Cat
I mean, Kenny Pickett right now has the best stats, I would say.
[27:05]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, but he got hurt.
[27:06]
Big Cat
But he's hurt. Can't make the club in the tub.
[27:08]
PFT Commenter
I mean, Flacco still three td, zero interceptions. Guy throws a good ball. Shador kind of lighting it up with six touchdown, zero interceptions, seven. Shador has the best stats.
[27:17]
Big Cat
You've got the wily vet and Joe. It's like the. The old guy from Squid game, just waiting it out, letting all the youngsters get eliminated. Now you're stuck with him.
[27:25]
Hank
Damn.
[27:28]
PFT Commenter
We should talk real quick about ESPN buying Red Zone because that was a big story as well. So people are rightfully mad or freaking out because I'd say there's a decent chance that ESPN fucks this up. No, I think what they'll do is they'll. I think Much like inside the NBA, they won't fuck it up right away because they know people will be upset, but they will eventually fuck it up and they'll slip in some things and non commercial free football.
[27:58]
Big Cat
Scott Hansen, you're out. Stephen A. Smith, you're in.
[28:01]
PFT Commenter
It sucks. I mean, it's all because ESPN is about to launch their new ESPN plus that's going to be $30 a month. So they need more sports, more live rights to justify that. Adding Red Zone, adding seven NFL games is exactly what could justify that. Don't fuck it up. They're gonna fuck it up, but don't fuck it up.
[28:24]
Big Cat
They, they're not gonna have commercials. I don't think. I hope that they won't.
[28:27]
PFT Commenter
I don't.
[28:27]
Big Cat
NFL Network tried that last year.
[28:29]
PFT Commenter
I don't think they're gonna have commercials.
[28:30]
Big Cat
Right away, but I think that they're gonna have like very intrusive on screen commercials during the actual.
[28:37]
PFT Commenter
And I think they're gonna eventually get to commercials. Yeah, it's gonna suck. Not good.
[28:43]
Big Cat
Is it still going to be Scott Hansen or do we have anybody else?
[28:45]
PFT Commenter
Well, so it takes a, you know, it's not going to happen this year. So next year is the earliest it could happen because they, they have to like vote on this.
[28:53]
Big Cat
You know, they're thinking, greeny, dude. If, you know, they're thinking, you know, you know, like the pitch deck for getting Red Zone was just Mike Greenberg's face. We've got the man, Scott Hansen.
[29:05]
PFT Commenter
You can't screw with Scott Hansen and what he has. You can't. ESPN's basic, their whole strategy now is just buy everything that is universally beloved and then try not to fuck it up. Yeah, that's a dangerous strategy they're playing because these are things inside the NBA. In Red Zone are, I would say, two of the highest approval rating things that exist in the sports world.
[29:31]
Big Cat
We don't like when you change the score bug by like one pixel. Yeah, it's going to be weird having the ESPN graphics.
[29:36]
PFT Commenter
We get pissed when you, when you start a game two minutes after it.
[29:39]
Big Cat
Says like the start time, tip time.
[29:41]
Hank
Yeah, I.
[29:42]
PFT Commenter
This is. We get mad when you play a commercial too many times and the song gets in our head.
[29:48]
Big Cat
If they screw up Red Zone, that's my personal January 6th, it's going to be a problem.
[29:52]
Hank
Yeah. And then. Yeah.
[29:54]
PFT Commenter
The inside of the NBA is on the horns.
[29:56]
Big Cat
I'm going to get the staff. I'm going to walk out of there with John Skipper's lectern. It's fucking on.
[30:01]
PFT Commenter
Don't fuck this up.
[30:03]
Hank
Okay.
[30:04]
PFT Commenter
What else, what else do we want to talk about? We want to talk a little Baseball national sports podcast.
[30:09]
Hank
I got.
[30:10]
PFT Commenter
I got a baseball story. Actually, no, I'll save that for who's Back Week. I was going to say Kyle Schwarber should be mvp.
[30:17]
Hank
Yep.
[30:18]
PFT Commenter
You agree, Hank?
[30:19]
Lane Johnson
Do.
[30:19]
PFT Commenter
That's crazy.
[30:20]
Lane Johnson
Wholeheartedly.
[30:21]
Big Cat
Wholeheartedly.
[30:21]
PFT Commenter
Do you agree?
[30:22]
Cam Juergens
I for sure agree.
[30:25]
Lane Johnson
Tied.
[30:26]
PFT Commenter
Shohei Tide. Shohei for home runs. Shohei's not pitching. PCA is very good. He's cooled off a little. I would love for PCA to win MVP, but I also have a 90 to 1 ticket on Kyle Schwarber. But that has nothing to do with us saying Kyle Schwarber should win mvp.
[30:39]
Big Cat
I'm not concerned with the NL race. I'm more concerned Cal Raleigh should be al. I just.
[30:44]
PFT Commenter
I agree with that as well.
[30:45]
Hank
Yeah, yeah.
[30:47]
PFT Commenter
It's. The baseball was awesome. On Friday night especially. There was like a few walk offs.
[30:53]
Hank
They had that.
[30:54]
PFT Commenter
That Pirates Rockies game. That was 17 to 16. That was awesome. Baseball's heating up. It's good.
[31:02]
Hank
Okay.
[31:03]
PFT Commenter
And, oh, we should talk about the Speedway Classic. That was an absolute disaster.
[31:07]
Hank
Yeah.
[31:08]
Big Cat
So the rain, it's a. It's a cool stadium, but that doesn't mean that you have to put other sports inside your cool stadium. So I said like in Wrigley Field when they did the Winter Classic.
[31:18]
Hank
Yeah.
[31:19]
Big Cat
Terrible place to watch a baseball game.
[31:20]
PFT Commenter
The sight lines. Hockey game.
[31:22]
Hank
Yeah.
[31:23]
Big Cat
To watch a hockey game. Great place to watch a baseball game. Terrible place to watch an NHL game for the Winter Classic.
[31:27]
Hank
Yeah.
[31:28]
Big Cat
If it's a drone shot, if it's a blimp shot, it looks incredible. Anybody that's in that stadium not having a great time. I feel the same way about using NASCAR tracks to have other sports.
[31:37]
PFT Commenter
So obviously they can't be blamed for the rain. Except for the fact that they tried to play an inning when they knew that they weren't going to play anything. And that was really stupid. They ran out of hot dog buns in the first inning. They ran out of cheese on the nachos. They did have Tim Pitbull performing together, which I. That's a crazy combo. But I don't understand. I. And I tweeted this this morning, like, why not just do it at Field of Dreams every single year? I guess they're doing renovations there and they're making it like an insane, all encompassing baseball place that is going to hold tournaments and everything. But this is such a situation where, like, baseball had a really cool thing. That White Sox Yankees game was insane. Why not just go back there and do it?
[32:24]
Big Cat
We're simple people. We would like to see a Field of Dreams game and the only change that you make to it is just have the corn be the entire outfield.
[32:32]
Hank
Mm.
[32:32]
Big Cat
No actual wall.
[32:34]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, but this was. This made no sense. And they totally botched it. And they had a bunch of people sitting in the rain being like, oh, yeah, we're going to play a game. Oh, we're going to play one inning. And they had fucking blooper driving. Might. Might have been drunk on the track.
[32:48]
Big Cat
That part was kind of cool.
[32:50]
PFT Commenter
They should have breathalyzed them. Should have figured that out. It's just.
[32:53]
Big Cat
Just butter.
[32:55]
Hank
Yeah.
[32:55]
PFT Commenter
This was a total, total mess. By. By mlb. I have. I have a stay woke. You guys want to do a stay woke real quick?
[33:03]
Hank
Yeah.
[33:04]
PFT Commenter
Portland Pickles guy. Come on. Are we this stupid?
[33:07]
Big Cat
The. The fan.
[33:08]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[33:08]
Big Cat
The fan that got me out there and had had the purest swing of all time.
[33:11]
Hank
How.
[33:11]
PFT Commenter
How are people falling for this?
[33:13]
Big Cat
Do you know anything about the guy?
[33:15]
PFT Commenter
I don't. The Portland Pickles are a unaffiliated team, I assume, and they had a special.
[33:21]
Cam Juergens
I think it's a collegiate summer league team.
[33:23]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, unaffiliated. Yeah, summer ball. And they had a contest where a fan could get in a bat and then the fan took the pitcher 425ft. This isn't. What are we talking about here? This guy plays.
[33:37]
Lane Johnson
Fans have at bats.
[33:38]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, this guy plays somewhere. Right?
[33:41]
Hank
I mean, that.
[33:42]
Big Cat
The bat speed was absolutely incredible.
[33:44]
PFT Commenter
Insane.
[33:45]
Lane Johnson
Pure sweat.
[33:46]
PFT Commenter
And he also like got. I think he got a walk in the first at bat and then was like running the bases really well and like seasoned vet.
[33:55]
Cam Juergens
I would say regardless, he still hit it, like.
[34:00]
PFT Commenter
Of course. But what if he plays. That's.
[34:02]
Big Cat
That's a pro swing for sure.
[34:04]
Cam Juergens
Yeah, but he still hit. But he still hit a homer.
[34:07]
Hank
They.
[34:07]
Cam Juergens
They did the thing and he hit a homer, which, like, it's cool. He could be.
[34:10]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, you're right.
[34:10]
Cam Juergens
He could be the best player in the world and like, still not hit a homer. And his one. And his one at bat.
[34:15]
PFT Commenter
Do we think that. Let me see that pitch again. Was it a meatball?
[34:20]
Big Cat
Looked like it was a fastball.
[34:23]
PFT Commenter
Oh, that was a meatball.
[34:25]
Cam Juergens
But still like.
[34:26]
Big Cat
Yeah, but if you're that pitcher.
[34:27]
Cam Juergens
I think it was. I think it was a three, two count. Apparently he.
[34:30]
PFT Commenter
Oh, the kid rocks. Yeah. I'm just saying it's more that we can't.
[34:34]
Cam Juergens
No, he's a real.
[34:36]
PFT Commenter
Believe that this is just a fan plucked out of the stand.
[34:38]
Big Cat
But if you're that pitcher, you do not groove him one on Purpose. Unless it's very. Because it's very embarrassing.
[34:44]
PFT Commenter
But if it's planned and it's like, we need to get a viral moment, I think.
[34:49]
Big Cat
I think that pitcher would still be like, fuck that. I'm gonna try to strike.
[34:51]
Cam Juergens
Yeah. I think someone, like, broke it down. And the pitch before was like a slider in the dirt. Like a two, two count. That made it a three, two count. So that. So he did groove a fastball, but it was directly after, like, a slide. A tough slider.
[35:06]
PFT Commenter
Okay, I have a stay woke.
[35:08]
Hank
Yeah.
[35:10]
Big Cat
I think the WNBA is throwing dildos onto their own courts.
[35:12]
PFT Commenter
We got to talk about this.
[35:14]
Big Cat
Get. Get the ratings up.
[35:15]
PFT Commenter
They did arrest someone.
[35:16]
Big Cat
Someone got arrested.
[35:17]
PFT Commenter
Someone got arrested.
[35:18]
Big Cat
Dildo chucking.
[35:19]
PFT Commenter
So we had our second dildo go on to a court. Same exact green dildo, sir.
[35:25]
Big Cat
Second dildo.
[35:25]
PFT Commenter
It was. It was quite something, seeing I never thought we would get to the point where Sophie Cunningham had to tweet, stop throwing dildos on the court. You're going to hurt one of us. A real tweet. So there's a second dildo throne. Bill's fans got to be like, the dildozer.
[35:45]
Hank
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[35:46]
PFT Commenter
But there was a person who got arrested in Atlanta.
[35:49]
Big Cat
What do you get arrested for?
[35:50]
PFT Commenter
Dildo throwing.
[35:51]
Big Cat
That's. That's against the law.
[35:54]
PFT Commenter
It's funny.
[35:54]
Big Cat
That's against the law.
[35:56]
PFT Commenter
I think throwing something onto a basketball court, like a professional game is probably against the law.
[36:01]
Big Cat
Even if it's funny.
[36:02]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, you could. They could always be like, that could hurt someone.
[36:04]
Hank
If you.
[36:05]
Big Cat
If somebody. Somebody tripped and fell in a dildo. That'd be pretty funny, though.
[36:08]
Hank
Yeah.
[36:08]
PFT Commenter
Be very funny.
[36:09]
Big Cat
I said the same thing in the NFL.
[36:11]
Hank
Yeah.
[36:11]
Big Cat
When it happened at Bill's games.
[36:12]
Hank
Yeah.
[36:13]
PFT Commenter
The Valkyries are the ones that are getting. So it's both their games.
[36:17]
Hank
Yeah.
[36:17]
PFT Commenter
So the Valkyries, Atlanta, and then the Valkyries in Chicago. And dildos came on the court for both of them.
[36:23]
Big Cat
And they're bright colored. You can't miss them. Looked like Shrek's dick.
[36:27]
PFT Commenter
It's very. We have a serial dildo thrower.
[36:30]
Big Cat
You think it's the same guy?
[36:31]
PFT Commenter
I don't know.
[36:32]
Big Cat
I think it might.
[36:32]
PFT Commenter
They arrested the first guy, so I don't know, but they might not have arrested him. We got to see this person.
[36:36]
Big Cat
He might be a copycat.
[36:38]
PFT Commenter
I do. I do agree. This could be a stay woke. Oh, look at the ref kick it. Perfect kick.
[36:44]
Big Cat
And then they use a T to pick it up.
[36:45]
PFT Commenter
What if.
[36:46]
Hank
What if.
[36:46]
PFT Commenter
What if she kicked it and went right into that video guy's butt or his mouth.
[36:52]
Big Cat
Listen, you shouldn't throw stuff on the court, but if you're going to throw something, a dildo's objectively speaking the funniest thing to throw.
[36:58]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it is funny. And again it was funny when the Bills did it.
[37:02]
Hank
Yeah.
[37:02]
Big Cat
It'd be funny no matter what what event it was.
[37:04]
PFT Commenter
It's going to keep happening, isn't it?
[37:06]
Big Cat
I, I'd like to see a crossover like breakthrough sports. So it's not just sports. It's like political debates.
[37:12]
Hank
Yeah.
[37:13]
Big Cat
Imagine if Biden got like a suction cup dildo that was thrown stuck to his forehead.
[37:17]
Hank
Yeah.
[37:17]
Big Cat
Didn't realize.
[37:20]
Hank
Would be.
[37:20]
PFT Commenter
It would be cool if we had like a challenge where it was just one person. Like people shouldn't start throwing dildos. But if one guy can throw green dildos at sporting events around America and not get caught, I'm in for that. The dildo bandit would be an all time story and maybe mix in some, you know, baseball games, some training camps.
[37:38]
Big Cat
What if you throw a dildo during a baseball game and then a pitcher hits it? Like Randy Johnson destroying the bird just exploded the dildo.
[37:45]
PFT Commenter
What if a guy comes to training camp, throws a dildo and Ben Johnson's like, get me that guy.
[37:50]
Big Cat
Does the dildo go into the net.
[37:52]
PFT Commenter
He needs our quarterback.
[37:53]
Big Cat
Somebody added just a bunch of dildos into Caleb Williams.
[37:56]
PFT Commenter
They should remake missing the net.
[37:58]
Hank
Yeah.
[37:58]
PFT Commenter
Rookie of the year. But it's the dildo thrower. Yeah, we need that dildo thrower. Get him over here.
[38:05]
Lane Johnson
Yank the rookie year fun fact.
[38:07]
Hank
Yeah.
[38:08]
Lane Johnson
About PCA's mom.
[38:09]
Hank
Yeah.
[38:10]
Lane Johnson
Have we talked about on the show?
[38:11]
PFT Commenter
No, that's just one of those. No, we haven't. I don't know if we've talked about on the show.
[38:15]
Lane Johnson
It's a very fun fact.
[38:16]
Hank
Yeah.
[38:16]
PFT Commenter
PCA's mom is in rookie of the year.
[38:18]
Lane Johnson
She's the mom in rookie of the year.
[38:20]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[38:21]
Lane Johnson
It's a fun fact.
[38:22]
PFT Commenter
It is a very fun fact. I thought you were going to confess to the dildo throwing.
[38:28]
Lane Johnson
No, I've not gone to a WNBA game nor do I play.
[38:32]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, that's interesting.
[38:34]
Big Cat
What if you knew that there were going to be dildos throwing?
[38:38]
Lane Johnson
Maybe if it was like a big event.
[38:39]
PFT Commenter
What if this whole golf thing was just a cover up for Hank having an addiction to throwing dildos at WNBA players now? I'm going golfing again this weekend, guys. Oh, I gotta travel for golf.
[38:53]
Lane Johnson
It's a great alibi.
[38:54]
PFT Commenter
It is your handicap. Keep gets getting lower where I Think it's gonna happen again?
[39:02]
Big Cat
It's definitely gonna happen.
[39:02]
PFT Commenter
I think on Amazon, the dildos are low, low on stock.
[39:06]
Big Cat
Are they gonna be tracked now? I think so. The ATF is gonna start tracing every sale of every dildo.
[39:13]
Cam Juergens
Hank, I think you got your. Your 90s baseball movies mixed up.
[39:17]
Big Cat
Was it.
[39:17]
Cam Juergens
It's a little.
[39:18]
Big Cat
Little Big League.
[39:18]
Cam Juergens
Little Big League. His mom is.
[39:19]
PFT Commenter
Yes. Rookie of the Year is still crazy, what I was talking about.
[39:24]
Big Cat
Little Big League, I think, is a better movie than Rookie of the.
[39:26]
PFT Commenter
No, Rookie.
[39:27]
Hank
No.
[39:27]
Big Cat
Little Big League is. No, Little Big League is legit a great movie.
[39:30]
PFT Commenter
Rookie of the Year is legit. A great movie.
[39:32]
Cam Juergens
Year's legit. Very funny.
[39:35]
Big Cat
I like them both. You guys need to watch a Little Big League again.
[39:37]
PFT Commenter
I have seen it.
[39:38]
Big Cat
Great film.
[39:39]
PFT Commenter
It is good. But Rookie of the Year is better.
[39:42]
Hank
Yeah.
[39:42]
PFT Commenter
You got them. That's all right. Those are very similar. You got it now.
[39:47]
Hank
Yeah.
[39:49]
PFT Commenter
So back to you throwing these dildos.
[39:51]
Lane Johnson
I like Little Big League better.
[39:53]
Hank
Yeah. Oh, okay.
[39:55]
Big Cat
Embrace debate, Zach. Which one do you like better?
[40:00]
PFT Commenter
He's seen neither Rotten Tomatoes has Rookie of the Year higher.
[40:04]
Big Cat
Okay, which one do you like better?
[40:06]
PFT Commenter
Rookie of the Year has. What's his name? Daniel Stern. Harry. No. Marv. No. Harry.
[40:13]
Hank
Harry.
[40:14]
PFT Commenter
Harry.
[40:14]
Cam Juergens
He's so funny. He's so funny.
[40:16]
PFT Commenter
So funny. Hot ice.
[40:17]
Cam Juergens
Yeah, Heat up the ice.
[40:21]
Big Cat
Garden hoser.
[40:25]
Hank
What?
[40:26]
PFT Commenter
Like, what did you say?
[40:27]
Hank
Little help.
[40:28]
PFT Commenter
Now he gets stuck in the.
[40:31]
Big Cat
Stuck in the thing.
[40:33]
PFT Commenter
It's just. Listen, don't throw dildos on the court. But the fact that this is an actual conversation people have to have online is so fucking. It's so fucking funny. Again, don't throw dildos.
[40:45]
Big Cat
Do not throw dildos on the court.
[40:47]
PFT Commenter
It could hurt one of us. Please don't.
[40:49]
Big Cat
But I. I will laugh if it.
[40:50]
PFT Commenter
Happens every time, and it does it.
[40:53]
Big Cat
Actually, I think.
[40:54]
PFT Commenter
Tweet it.
[40:54]
Big Cat
It might be funnier at an NBA game than.
[40:57]
Hank
Yeah.
[40:58]
Big Cat
It doesn't matter what sport it is, doesn't matter what event. If somebody brings in a stray dildo, I'm in.
[41:03]
PFT Commenter
It would be nice if we had, you know, little. You know, representation matters would get a pocket thrown out at an NBA game.
[41:11]
Big Cat
That'd be great.
[41:11]
PFT Commenter
Let's get that going. Asakiras. Remember that one?
[41:18]
Hank
Yeah.
[41:18]
Lane Johnson
No, that was a poc.
[41:20]
Hank
Yeah.
[41:20]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, that's what I said. You were looking out.
[41:23]
Lane Johnson
I was reading about little. Little Big League and Rookie of the Year.
[41:26]
Big Cat
If somebody just throws one of those big fists. Have you seen those? Oh, they're just the forearm and the fist.
[41:32]
Hank
Yeah, yeah.
[41:32]
Big Cat
Just Big giant butt fist.
[41:34]
PFT Commenter
You getting those in your Google Ads or something?
[41:36]
Big Cat
Big giant butt fist. No, they always kept that one in the corner at the sex shop. Yeah, go in there. And it was like the real hardcore. The real.
[41:44]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, the real you. You want some hardcore? That's a real.
[41:49]
Hank
Okay.
[41:50]
PFT Commenter
Anything else? Oh, your new closer has an awesome walk up you.
[41:54]
Cam Juergens
It's so sad.
[41:55]
PFT Commenter
He always had that. I know. Twins fans, by the way. I should say Twins fans. This has sucked for you. We've talked about Minnesota sports being just abused, but the Twins just trading their entire team and just being shitty ownership. That needs to change. They. They're in the category with the Rockies, with the A's, with the Pirates. They. They have more success than those teams, but their owners don't care, and their owners aren't trying to win. And so their owners.
[42:21]
Big Cat
That's why Little Big league is such a cathartic movie.
[42:24]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna look up their owners because we gotta. We gotta give them something. Twins owners, the Polads, them.
[42:31]
Big Cat
The pole ads.
[42:32]
PFT Commenter
That sounds like I'm.
[42:33]
Big Cat
Sounds like a slur.
[42:34]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, I was gonna say that. But the poll ad family. Fuck you guys. Jim Polad jerk. Carl Polad jerk. Jim's son, Joe jerk.
[42:44]
Big Cat
Maybe an awl.
[42:47]
PFT Commenter
Listen, if you want to get us free tickets, we won't take them. The poll ads.
[42:53]
Big Cat
I'm considering it.
[42:54]
Hank
I will not.
[42:55]
PFT Commenter
But only I'm standing up for four Twins fans. You guys getting fucking screwed.
[42:59]
Big Cat
How long have these guys on the team for?
[43:00]
PFT Commenter
A long time.
[43:01]
Big Cat
Are they like that?
[43:02]
PFT Commenter
84.
[43:03]
Big Cat
So they were around for the Kirby Puckett Ken Herbeck team.
[43:05]
PFT Commenter
On my back.
[43:06]
Hank
Yeah. But.
[43:07]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it's been a long time. I mean, they, they, They're. They do the. The thing that is the worst in ownership. I, I know that, like, obviously moving a team is. Moving a team is the worst, but putting out a team where all you're trying to do is get to the playoffs a little bit and never actually go for it. That's bullshit.
[43:25]
Big Cat
It's very frustrating.
[43:26]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, that's insanely frustrating. Okay, so, yeah, the. The new closer. Twins fans rightfully were like, he's always had this walk up music. It was more that the link looked pretty sick when he came in the bank. Sorry.
[43:39]
Hank
I get my.
[43:40]
PFT Commenter
My Phillies. Yeah, you're good.
[43:41]
Hank
You're good.
[43:42]
PFT Commenter
We have Saquon on.
[43:43]
Big Cat
Hank, are you feeling good about your Red Sox?
[43:45]
Lane Johnson
No, we didn't make a lot of moves with the deadline.
[43:47]
PFT Commenter
But you guys just.
[43:48]
Big Cat
Yeah, but I think you just took.
[43:50]
Cam Juergens
Over first place in the AL East.
[43:52]
Hank
No, no.
[43:53]
Cam Juergens
You just took over the Yankees and the AL East.
[43:55]
PFT Commenter
You swept the Astros.
[43:57]
Lane Johnson
I feel all right. I'm still. I'm still running side by side with the bandwagon.
[44:01]
Hank
Okay.
[44:02]
Lane Johnson
Not fully on board yet.
[44:03]
PFT Commenter
Have you put a foot on?
[44:05]
Lane Johnson
No, but I've caught up. Caught up Speed.
[44:07]
Hank
Okay.
[44:07]
PFT Commenter
You've caught up to speed.
[44:09]
Lane Johnson
We just didn't. No moves at the deadline.
[44:11]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, a lot of teams did. No moves at the deadline. Okay. Should we do who's back of the week?
[44:15]
Hank
Yeah.
[44:16]
PFT Commenter
And then we'll get to our Mount Rushmore and we will do our interviews. Saquon was awesome.

[46:11]
Hank
Hank?
[46:11]
Lane Johnson
My who's back of the week is Johnny Manziel.
[46:13]
Hank
Yeah.
[46:14]
Lane Johnson
So this has been unfolding for. Since last week started with Gilly. Gilly, the kid I was ranting about. Jalen Hurts, obviously, you know, one of the biggest homers, biggest ranters, maybe the number one ranter on social media. Like, Gilly just, he. He can put out, you know, 10 to 20 minutes of videos via rants.
[46:33]
Big Cat
A day, but he can also do rants where he doesn't even say anything.
[46:35]
Hank
Yeah.
[46:36]
Big Cat
He just stares at the camera like dances to something and you get it. And you're like, I just got ranted. He didn't open his mouth.
[46:41]
Lane Johnson
So he was going off about Jalen Hurts that, you know, Cam Newton never got one of these. Cam Newton then went on his show, got pretty personal started, you know, talking about Gilly's rap career and. And. And kind of took it. You know, obviously Gilly took a shot at him, and then Cam just went for the. The jugular. Gilly responded, and then Johnny Manziel from the clouds. From the clouds. It was Gilly's birthday. I guess Big Dom brought the. The Lombardi to his trophy. And then Gilly was obviously, you know, trolling more. And Johnny Manziel from the cloud just said, you may be the biggest loser on the planet. Talking like you've done fucking done anything on a football field. If I see you just know I'm going to slap the fuck out of you. Trust.
[47:20]
PFT Commenter
Did anyone come to Gilly's defense?
[47:23]
Lane Johnson
One. Stephen Che, who wrote Gilly only has.
[47:27]
PFT Commenter
Seven fewer TD passes, but also has seven less interceptions than you on an NFL football field. So I'm not sure you're the right guy to gatekeep NFL discussions because you are nobody in that world, too. Great college player, though. Respect.
[47:40]
Big Cat
I like the respect. That really. That really makes it all better.
[47:45]
PFT Commenter
Then Johnny said, and you're the right guy to say anything. You should blow Dave every single day for your job. Fuck your respect. Suck my dick. Just.
[47:52]
Big Cat
That's a lot of dick sucking Steve has to do.
[47:54]
Hank
Yeah.
[47:55]
PFT Commenter
Also, it's me. He blows me, not Dave for his job. And then Steven just hit him with the do you like my hat? Which is killer.
[48:02]
Big Cat
It's tough to come back from that one, too. Also, respect.
[48:05]
PFT Commenter
What's so Johnny Manzel? It's like, this is a beef I didn't see coming.
[48:09]
Lane Johnson
No.
[48:09]
Hank
Yeah.
[48:10]
Lane Johnson
And then Gilly did a. Did a funny video Response with like, you know, flower or something all over his face. Just being like, why? Stay out of the state. Stay out of my business.
[48:18]
Hank
Yeah.
[48:19]
PFT Commenter
And it all started because I assume Cam went on Johnny's podcast and talked about Jalen Hurts. I think.
[48:26]
Lane Johnson
Yes.
[48:27]
Saquon Barkley
Okay.
[48:27]
Big Cat
There's just been a lot of Cam Newton vs. Jalen Hurts discourse in the last two weeks.
[48:32]
PFT Commenter
Got it.
[48:32]
Big Cat
And people are simultaneously not appreciating Jalen Hurts for winning super bowl and also forgetting that Cam Newton was amazing.
[48:40]
PFT Commenter
Really good football.
[48:41]
Hank
Yeah.
[48:41]
PFT Commenter
He won an mvp.
[48:43]
Hank
He did.
[48:44]
PFT Commenter
Won an mvp.
[48:45]
Big Cat
He got Ron Rivera to the Super Bowl. Did people don't talk about that.
[48:48]
Hank
We're both Ron. All right.
[48:51]
PFT Commenter
That was a good one.
[48:52]
Hank
Good.
[48:52]
PFT Commenter
Who's back?
[48:53]
Lane Johnson
Also came Young. First PGA Tour one.
[48:55]
Hank
Yeah.
[48:56]
Lane Johnson
Been on tour for a long time.
[48:57]
Big Cat
I thought he had won before.
[48:58]
Hank
Yeah.
[48:59]
Lane Johnson
Him and, like, Tommy Fleetwood are kind of the. Everyone thinks they've won, but they can't win.
[49:03]
Big Cat
The small one.
[49:04]
PFT Commenter
What was. I saw he was insane this weekend. I saw there was like. Was it. His round two and round three combined was like, 125 shots. That's so insane.
[49:17]
Hank
Yeah.
[49:18]
Big Cat
They're playing some Mickey Mouse courses these.
[49:20]
PFT Commenter
Last couple of weeks, but that means, like, I mean, there's, like, he could probably beat me on 36 holes.
[49:27]
Lane Johnson
If you. If you played 18.
[49:30]
Hank
Yeah.
[49:31]
Lane Johnson
If you play 18 from where he played, where he teed off from, 126 is, like, right. Right around there. What would you shoot, like 1:10, 1:26. I could probably shoot 126. They play from so far back.
[49:46]
Hank
Yeah.
[49:47]
PFT Commenter
That's crazy, though.
[49:49]
Big Cat
That is nuts.
[49:49]
PFT Commenter
1, 125 shots in two. In two. Two days.
[49:53]
Big Cat
Huge win for MLB.
[49:56]
PFT Commenter
Huge win. What is this connection again?
[50:00]
Big Cat
He wears the MLB patch.
[50:01]
PFT Commenter
Oh, that's right.
[50:01]
Hank
That's right.
[50:01]
PFT Commenter
That's right.
[50:02]
Big Cat
He's sponsored by a different.
[50:03]
PFT Commenter
That's right. By mlb. Yeah, that's right.
[50:05]
Hank
Okay.
[50:06]
PFT Commenter
Who's back of the week? Pft.
[50:07]
Big Cat
My. Who's back of the week is Tom Brady. Oh, Tom Brady's back. Hank, did you know that Tom Brady.
[50:12]
PFT Commenter
Was back this weekend here?
[50:15]
Big Cat
Tom Brady is having statue day on Friday.
[50:18]
Hank
Yeah.
[50:19]
Lane Johnson
8 12.
[50:20]
Big Cat
8. Oh, that makes sense.
[50:22]
PFT Commenter
That does make sense.
[50:23]
Big Cat
They're unveiling the statue. They were going to do it last year, but then they canceled it because 2. I think he had a concussion, and then Fox wasn't going to send their A team, so Tom Brady didn't go to that game, so they canceled it. Now they're doing it. Preseason week one. Preseason against Commanders. Against the Commanders that's true.
[50:40]
Lane Johnson
We talked about this.
[50:41]
PFT Commenter
But do you think lighting the lighthouse gotta be.
[50:44]
Big Cat
I don't know. I don't think so.
[50:46]
Lane Johnson
What?
[50:46]
Big Cat
I don't think he is. It's a statue day. That's. That's a lot of stuff he has to do.
[50:54]
PFT Commenter
How long does it take to get down?
[50:56]
Big Cat
What if they. What if the statue is on the lighthouse?
[50:59]
Lane Johnson
That would be sick. What if. Yeah, what if they. They should just redo the lighthouse as.
[51:04]
Big Cat
A giant like the Statue of Liberty, But Tom Brady.
[51:06]
Hank
Yeah.
[51:07]
Lane Johnson
Yes, yes.
[51:08]
Big Cat
With like a semi limp football in his head. That would rock. Actually, that. That would be one way for me to come completely around on this fake lighthouse. If it's in the shape of Tom.
[51:18]
PFT Commenter
Brady and in the back of his jersey just says lighthouse. Yeah, I hope.
[51:22]
Lane Johnson
I hope he likes. Does the. I think he already has, though. I think he might have done it first or second. But you know, they have the book up there. That means he would scroll by my page.
[51:29]
Big Cat
But wait, Hank, they don't actually like the lighthouse.
[51:32]
Lane Johnson
Ring the bell.
[51:33]
Big Cat
You ring the bell?
[51:34]
Lane Johnson
Yeah, at the lighthouse, but you sign the book. Every. Every. Every keeper of the light signs a book.
[51:38]
Hank
Ah.
[51:39]
Lane Johnson
And so when he's scrolling through it, he'll be like, oh, there's my guy.
[51:41]
Big Cat
Patriots legend.
[51:42]
Lane Johnson
Also, Vrabel went on frank walks and was like, I hope to one day get to a point where they would go to jail for us. This team. Talk about the Brady 4. I'm there for Abel.
[51:51]
Hank
Oh, already?
[51:52]
PFT Commenter
You're already ready?
[51:53]
Lane Johnson
I'm already there. Yeah, I would. I would.
[51:54]
Big Cat
I would literally even without Terry and.
[51:56]
Lane Johnson
Kill a man for. For my variable.
[51:59]
PFT Commenter
Did you see Brady at Raiders camp?
[52:01]
Hank
No. Oh, yeah.
[52:02]
PFT Commenter
He was all over the place.
[52:04]
Big Cat
How's he looking?
[52:04]
PFT Commenter
He. The. It basically confirms that anyone who puts on any Raiders logos look cool all the time.
[52:10]
Big Cat
That is awesome.
[52:10]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it's an all time hat logo. The silver and black.
[52:16]
Big Cat
Yeah, he looks cool.
[52:17]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, there was a bunch of. There's a bunch of. He was at the practice.
[52:20]
Lane Johnson
Not a huge fan of that.
[52:21]
PFT Commenter
He was at the practice where Pete Carroll was throwing false flags.
[52:26]
Big Cat
If you're a. If you're a Raiders fan, you like the fact that Tom Brady owns your team or has an ownership stake. Yeah, you like that. But also, is there a part of you that seeing him wearing the silver and black makes you be like that?
[52:39]
PFT Commenter
Why can't he just play?
[52:40]
Big Cat
Well, the tuck rule.
[52:41]
Hank
Oh, yeah.
[52:42]
PFT Commenter
But also, why can't he just play?
[52:43]
Big Cat
Probably it would just give you flashbacks of like, what. What's Going on right now.
[52:46]
PFT Commenter
Because he looks like he could play still.
[52:48]
Big Cat
He does.
[52:48]
PFT Commenter
So, like that would be the. Hey, why can't you just play when you know. Although Gino, they got. Gino, they got.
[52:54]
Big Cat
What if something happens to Gino? What if. What if he gets banged up or something this year? You think Tom Brady would think about.
[53:01]
PFT Commenter
Would definitely be a Smith's take.
[53:04]
Hank
Yeah.
[53:05]
Big Cat
It would cross his mind.
[53:06]
PFT Commenter
Bayless.
[53:07]
Big Cat
I think it would cross his mind.
[53:09]
Hank
Yeah.
[53:09]
PFT Commenter
He was. Yeah. With John Spytak, our friend John Spytek, who was Brady's college teammate.
[53:14]
Big Cat
Michigan.
[53:14]
PFT Commenter
Who's the GM of the Raiders now.
[53:16]
Hank
Yeah.
[53:16]
PFT Commenter
I think I. I'm gonna buy some. I might buy some Raiders stock this year just because of Gino and Pete Carroll seeing Pete Carroll. What was that?
[53:25]
Lane Johnson
And Brady.
[53:26]
PFT Commenter
No, I don't think that he has anything to do with them being good this year unless he plays. But is more the Geno and Pete. Pete Carroll is like the Raiders have been all over the place. Pete Carroll feels like there's gonna be some consistency there. He's running a practice.
[53:41]
Hank
He's.
[53:42]
PFT Commenter
He's old, but he's young.
[53:43]
Big Cat
I think maybe Christian Wilkins saw Tom Brady wearing that Raiders and he was like, you look good. Look real good. Tom. Let's get weird with it.
[53:52]
PFT Commenter
Let me kiss you on the top of your head.
[53:55]
Hank
Okay.
[53:57]
PFT Commenter
Is that your only who's back?
[53:58]
Big Cat
Yeah, just Tom Brady.
[53:59]
PFT Commenter
My surprise.
[54:00]
Big Cat
Hank didn't take it well.
[54:03]
Lane Johnson
We. I talked. We talked about the statue day a couple weeks ago. Like a month.
[54:07]
Big Cat
Statue week. The week's here.
[54:10]
PFT Commenter
Well, it's next week. If it's 8:12.
[54:12]
Lane Johnson
It might not be 8:12. I might just made that up.
[54:15]
Big Cat
I thought it was going to be this Friday. Oh, it's upcoming Friday.
[54:17]
Hank
Yeah.
[54:18]
PFT Commenter
Not 8:12. No, he made that up.
[54:19]
Lane Johnson
6:12 was birdie day.
[54:21]
Big Cat
Okay.
[54:22]
Hank
Wow.
[54:23]
PFT Commenter
You're firing today.
[54:26]
Cam Juergens
I think of hangover.
[54:27]
PFT Commenter
Hank again. When I said that, I really knew it. When I said the they should throw a pocket on and then I said oscar career. And he's like, no, that was a pocket.
[54:39]
Lane Johnson
When I said 8:12, you're like, oh, yeah, it makes sense.
[54:41]
PFT Commenter
Well, yeah, I mean it did. You just threw it out there. And then I looked and I was like, that's a Tuesday.
[54:45]
Hank
Okay.
[54:46]
PFT Commenter
They're playing on Tuesday. So it's Friday.
[54:50]
Big Cat
88.
[54:52]
Lane Johnson
88 degrees.
[54:54]
Big Cat
It's 88 this Friday.
[54:55]
Hank
All right.
[54:56]
PFT Commenter
My. Who's back of the week is the Miami Marlins. Because the Miami Marlins swept the Yankees for the first time in franchise history. They also have been playing awesome ball. They're back to 500. Miami Marlins are 31 and 15 since June 9th. They're 26 and 10 since mid June. They might sneak away into the play. There's six games out of the wild card.
[55:23]
Hank
I don't know.
[55:24]
PFT Commenter
Fun story going on in Miami.
[55:26]
Big Cat
Crazy to think that they're so far ahead of the Braves right now.
[55:28]
Hank
They are.
[55:29]
Big Cat
If you would say that at the start of the season. People think you're insane, but yeah, I mean, they're. Fish are good.
[55:34]
Hank
Yeah.
[55:34]
PFT Commenter
They also are the only team in MLB history that do not have a losing record against the New York Yankees in the regular season.
[55:41]
Big Cat
That's kind of crazy.
[55:42]
PFT Commenter
Kind of crazy. And they have overall a winning record when you include the 2003 World Series.
[55:47]
Big Cat
And this was their first sweep.
[55:48]
PFT Commenter
And this was their first sweep of them. All right. Yeah, pretty nuts.
[55:51]
Big Cat
Saw Marlins man at the game.
[55:52]
PFT Commenter
Well, that was also part of it. Marlin's man.
[55:54]
Big Cat
No, I didn't mean to say that.
[55:55]
PFT Commenter
Marlin's didn't mean to say that man is also back. He. I mean, listen, he might be the reason why the Marlins are back.
[56:03]
Big Cat
I think his little companion might be the reason.
[56:06]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, Marlins man. Let's see. He said Althena visiting from Hawaii. Sweet girl. Her TikTok is some.
[56:16]
Big Cat
Some random chick.
[56:17]
PFT Commenter
Some random chick. So go follow her. And then what was his follow up?
[56:21]
Big Cat
No, we don't need to follow up.
[56:22]
PFT Commenter
The follow up was.
[56:23]
Big Cat
That was. That was the end of that story.
[56:25]
PFT Commenter
That was the end.
[56:26]
Big Cat
That's.
[56:27]
PFT Commenter
That's the end of that reporting.
[56:29]
Big Cat
That's his header. Stolen valor. By the way, he's not actually fighter pilot.
[56:33]
Hank
Okay.
[56:34]
PFT Commenter
Keep going down.
[56:34]
Big Cat
User would pretend to do that.
[56:35]
Hank
Yeah.
[56:36]
PFT Commenter
He then tweeted out her TikTok. He said, for those that don't know her, she is super smart, really nice and very good family. And no, I'm not cheating on.
[56:47]
Big Cat
He's not cheating on that person because they don't have relationships. So, yes, I agree.
[56:51]
PFT Commenter
Now she is still a 10. Is that. That's for some random check I think he's talking about.
[56:56]
Big Cat
She's still a 10 for. Yeah, some random chick.
[56:58]
PFT Commenter
That's Althena. But yeah, Marlin's man's back.
[57:00]
Big Cat
I mean, rough and rowdy. Marlin's man. That'd be a sick undercard for Johnny Manziel against Gilly.
[57:06]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, some random chick. Now Max is looking up some random chick. She.
[57:12]
Big Cat
She's nice.
[57:13]
PFT Commenter
Looks like a nice lady. Comes from a good family. Yeah, Marlin's man said it all. Really nice. She Looks really nice woman.
[57:19]
Big Cat
She looks smart.
[57:21]
Hank
Yeah.
[57:22]
PFT Commenter
The Marlins are back, though. Good story is that I don't want them to get in the playoffs.
[57:25]
Big Cat
That's not a video of her making out with Marlins, man, is it? Where on her. Tick tock. She's making out with somebody. No, that's not.
[57:32]
PFT Commenter
No, that's not Marlon's fan.
[57:34]
Hank
Okay, good.
[57:35]
PFT Commenter
Now that's another woman. They can do that, apparently. It's awesome. Zach, your who's back?
[57:46]
Max
My who's back of the week is Mr. Beast.
[57:49]
PFT Commenter
Okay.
[57:49]
Max
So Mr. Beast had put together a clean water initiative. Hashtag team water. And in just two days, they've raised like, I think it's like $6.7 million.
[57:59]
PFT Commenter
For clean water around the world.
[58:00]
Max
They say each dollar donated will provide one person clean water for an entire year. So they've gotten together like a bunch of different.
[58:07]
Big Cat
Sounds like Chris Long's thing, the water boys.
[58:10]
Hank
Yeah.
[58:10]
Big Cat
He just stole. Chris Long's idea.
[58:12]
Max
Could be similar, but I just thought it was. I thought it was an all time thing to in two days bring that much water to the people.
[58:18]
PFT Commenter
He's bringing a lot of water to the people.
[58:21]
Max
So if you like, if you, if you'd like to donate, please go over there.
[58:23]
Hank
Anybody.
[58:24]
Max
Listen, maybe donate some clean water.
[58:26]
Big Cat
Zach, can you do the Mr. Beast face for all your thumbnails from now on?
[58:30]
PFT Commenter
I can do that for you.
[58:31]
Big Cat
I think that's a good. That's a good face.
[58:33]
Hank
Yeah.
[58:33]
PFT Commenter
Oh, we also should have mentioned Lukas back because he signed his extension with the Lakers.
[58:37]
Hank
Yeah.
[58:38]
PFT Commenter
And looks very skinny.
[58:39]
Big Cat
And he is going to make a billion dollars.
[58:41]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[58:42]
PFT Commenter
And in salary, this was actually like kind of a big deal because the Lakers didn't have. They didn't have like the financial trump card against other teams like they would have, like the Mavericks.
[58:52]
Hank
Yeah.
[58:53]
PFT Commenter
So they did have to kind of sell him on it. But yeah, he's. He's officially going to be a Laker for at least, what, the next three years?
[59:00]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[59:01]
Big Cat
And he's taking the stance of like, I. I just get in good shape every off season. This off season was no different. Yeah.
[59:07]
PFT Commenter
Had nothing to do.
[59:08]
Big Cat
Nothing to do with everybody talking about how I was fat and then also being due for a contract.
[59:12]
Hank
Yeah.
[59:13]
PFT Commenter
Nothing.
[59:14]
Big Cat
He does look great.
[59:14]
PFT Commenter
He looks very skinny.
[59:16]
Hank
Yeah.
[59:17]
PFT Commenter
There's a picture of him because he was at the national card show. He looked very skinny. Good for Luca. And also he. I think the first thing he did was the first thing Luka Doncic did with his new contract or Sonny's new contract. I bet you guys won't guess it because me laugh.
[59:36]
Lane Johnson
In and out.
[59:38]
Big Cat
Smoked cigarette?

[61:34]
Big Cat
There's no controversy on Friday. Oh, wait, there was.
[61:36]
Max
There was a lot of controversy memes. It shouldn't count.
[61:39]
Big Cat
You're a sleazebag.
[61:40]
Max
I'm not a sleaze bag. I'm not. I'm not a sleaze bag.
[61:42]
Big Cat
You're a sleaze bag.
[61:43]
Max
How my sleaze bag?
[61:44]
Big Cat
Because you tweeted out the video.
[61:46]
PFT Commenter
I didn't tweet out anything about this.
[61:50]
Max
I tweet out anything.
[61:51]
Hank
Yeah, you did.
[61:52]
PFT Commenter
No, you did.
[61:53]
Max
The Mount Rushmore should be voided. Immediately because it was tweeted out by the Barcelona account that has 30.2 million followers cross platform.
[62:03]
PFT Commenter
And then you tweeted.
[62:04]
Big Cat
You tweeted the video.
[62:05]
Lane Johnson
How'd you let them get access to it?
[62:08]
Big Cat
Good question.
[62:09]
PFT Commenter
Great question.
[62:10]
Max
I didn't send the folder.
[62:11]
Lane Johnson
Who did? Funnels through you. It's your department.
[62:14]
PFT Commenter
It is your department.
[62:15]
Max
Well, you're buddies with head of social. This could have been.
[62:18]
Lane Johnson
He's head of research. My personal head of research.
[62:22]
Max
Yeah. So this could have been a collusion attempt to take down Rushmore. Who won Rushmore?
[62:25]
PFT Commenter
I. Oh, now it's interesting. Your good friend Gaz.
[62:30]
Lane Johnson
Me and PFG1.
[62:31]
Max
Yeah, everybody knows PFG are the favorite characters of the show. You're a good friend when that guy.
[62:37]
Lane Johnson
Said that number one host. But I don't have access to. I don't, I don't have access to those videos.
[62:45]
Cam Juergens
It is interesting that the teaming that the team that came in last is the one team that doesn't have millions of followers.
[62:50]
Big Cat
I think it's interesting. Interesting that memes tweeted out the video.
[62:54]
PFT Commenter
I didn't tweet out the video.
[62:55]
Big Cat
I'm looking at the video right now. Tweeted at 11:11am on Friday from. Pardon my meme.
[63:03]
Max
Yes, I was bringing attention that it was already. It was already tweeted out.
[63:06]
Big Cat
Did you tweet the video out?
[63:07]
Max
I didn't tweet it out. I quote tweeted. I quote tweeted the video that was posted. So are you saying you could be a part of my take fan and not a barstool fan?
[63:18]
Big Cat
I'm saying that those people might exist. Yes.
[63:20]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, no, absolutely. Those people could exist.
[63:23]
Max
That they don't exist.
[63:24]
Big Cat
They do exist.
[63:25]
Max
If you follow my account, you follow.
[63:27]
PFT Commenter
The bar to your. You said hey, this is people that are. This is an issue. Basically part of my take yak calling the memes army to go vote for you.
[63:37]
Max
No, not Barstool. But if you follow my account, you probably follow that account. No, there's tons of 6.6 million people that follow that.
[63:44]
Big Cat
There's tons of memes heads out there.
[63:46]
PFT Commenter
Oh yeah.
[63:46]
Max
So I brought it, I brought it to your guys attention immediately saying how did this happen? This should be voided and we the vote shouldn't count and nobody responded until.
[63:56]
PFT Commenter
I know how it happened. You're the one who works in the social department.
[64:03]
Lane Johnson
You are our social department.
[64:04]
Max
I'm the PMT social department.
[64:05]
Big Cat
Can you different department. Can you say those ground rules. Can you be like, hey, we don't Tweet this out until after the poll is over.
[64:12]
PFT Commenter
Probably should.
[64:12]
Big Cat
It seems like something that.
[64:13]
PFT Commenter
If you rectified that.
[64:14]
Lane Johnson
Yeah, we'll set a meeting. We'll do a meeting tomorrow. Memes.
[64:17]
Hank
Okay.
[64:18]
Max
So it doesn't count.
[64:19]
Lane Johnson
Me and gas counts.
[64:22]
Hank
I mean, you.
[64:23]
PFT Commenter
You've tried to rig this every which way. Let's go.
[64:27]
Hank
Hang. Nothing. All right.
[64:28]
PFT Commenter
Mount Rushmore. Things that begin with Q. Who's up first?
[64:31]
Lane Johnson
I believe we are up first.
[64:32]
PFT Commenter
Okay.
[64:37]
Cam Juergens
I. I did. No fighting. I'm done fighting.
[64:40]
Max
The one time he didn't.
[64:41]
Cam Juergens
Yeah, Me was just mad that I didn't. That I didn't fight. I. I said I'm done fighting. I fought so much last week.
[64:47]
Big Cat
My.
[64:49]
Cam Juergens
My watch has ended. I need. I. I'm going into this week with good vibes. I was. Bad vibes last week.
[64:55]
Max
My fight guy didn't want to fight.
[64:57]
Cam Juergens
I know. I didn't want to fight.
[64:58]
PFT Commenter
I didn't want to fight.
[64:59]
Hank
He didn't.
[65:00]
PFT Commenter
He wasn't there for you.
[65:03]
Max
I believe PFT and hanker first, and.
[65:04]
PFT Commenter
Then Zach and I are second.
[65:05]
Max
Yes.
[65:06]
Hank
Okay. All right.
[65:08]
Lane Johnson
For the 1:1 things that start with Q, PFT and I will take queso.
[65:13]
Hank
Oh, okay.
[65:14]
Big Cat
Hank.
[65:15]
Hank
Yeah. Great pick we get. Yeah. Yeah.
[65:19]
Big Cat
I mean, it's amazing.
[65:19]
PFT Commenter
We'll go with the most important position in all sports. Quarterback.
[65:23]
Big Cat
Yeah, that too.
[65:24]
PFT Commenter
Have to. Max is going quinceanera.
[65:32]
Big Cat
Hank, what I put on the list, this is.
[65:34]
Cam Juergens
We have to actually, like I said.
[65:37]
Big Cat
Do not pick canier parties. Let Max take it.
[65:44]
PFT Commenter
He's done fighting Zach. Zach goes. We're just brain dumping.
[65:54]
Big Cat
He knows he thought it.
[65:55]
Lane Johnson
He knows he thought it.
[65:58]
PFT Commenter
Brain dumping words. And Zach goes. You ever been to a Kinsman year? And I was like, no. And Max is gonna pick it anyway. He definitely thought it.
[66:07]
Lane Johnson
All right, so what's your.
[66:08]
PFT Commenter
Wait? So were you guys deciding between queso and quarterback?
[66:10]
Hank
Yeah, we were. Yeah. Yeah.
[66:12]
PFT Commenter
I mean, that was. It was literally gonna be whatever. You guys didn't go. We were gonna go.
[66:16]
Max
He has a list on his phone.
[66:19]
PFT Commenter
Oh, we gotta go. We got an auto draft. Kinsaneera. Oh, no, no. It goes right to the highest value.
[66:26]
Lane Johnson
There's a relatable one to this situation.
[66:28]
PFT Commenter
No, you have to fill out your roster. It's like when you auto draft on. You know, when you take a kicker in the seventh round. No one here has taken, you know, underage girl parties, so Max has to take it. When is he coming back?
[66:42]
Big Cat
He might just have quit.
[66:44]
PFT Commenter
Can I say something real quick? This is a filler for Max. Come back doing this exercise with the letter Q. There are so many words that I don't know why, but in my head, I was like, that doesn't start with Q. And then I like, I don't. I don't know why I didn't think, like, queso is like, oh, yeah, that does. Because it's like, kind of a C.
[67:05]
Big Cat
I started looking at the lowercase q so much that it started to melt my brain. It was like, what is that letter?
[67:10]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it looks like a P. I was. I was mad at myself that I was just like, holy, you're so dumb.
[67:16]
Hank
Yeah.
[67:16]
PFT Commenter
You just didn't even realize these words start with Q.
[67:19]
Big Cat
Also, a lot of keywords that don't even have U next to it.
[67:22]
Hank
Yeah.
[67:23]
PFT Commenter
Crazy. Is he coming back?
[67:24]
Big Cat
Memes.
[67:25]
PFT Commenter
I think you gotta go memes. We're gonna pick Quinceanera if he doesn't come back.
[67:30]
Max
No, they said they're gonna auto draft. Auto draft.
[67:39]
PFT Commenter
Did that get picked up?
[67:42]
Hank
Oh, man.
[67:43]
Big Cat
The FBI is going to get a hold of that.
[67:46]
Hank
All right.
[67:46]
Max
We're gonna go quesadilla.
[67:48]
Hank
Okay. All right.
[67:49]
PFT Commenter
Pick and sneer. Just do it.
[67:56]
Max
Can't do it. And then we'll go Queen Latifah.
[67:59]
PFT Commenter
Oh, okay.
[68:00]
Hank
All right.
[68:04]
PFT Commenter
Holy.
[68:06]
Hank
Wow.
[68:07]
PFT Commenter
Okay.
[68:09]
Hank
Wow.
[68:10]
Big Cat
He's gonna be so mad when he comes back.
[68:12]
Hank
Wow.
[68:13]
Big Cat
That Queen Latifah.
[68:14]
PFT Commenter
Max, I think we go five.
[68:17]
Stephen Che
I like.
[68:17]
Max
Five is a great pick.
[68:18]
Hank
Yeah.
[68:19]
PFT Commenter
This is what. This one Zach didn't even think of.
[68:21]
Hank
And when I.
[68:21]
PFT Commenter
When I said it out loud, he's. His eyes lit up, and he was so excited. Okay, go ahead.
[68:27]
Max
We would like to take Quarter pounder.
[68:29]
PFT Commenter
Quarter pounder, McDonald's.
[68:30]
Big Cat
That's a good pick.
[68:30]
PFT Commenter
He was like, oh, that's a good. How did I not even think about it?
[68:33]
Hank
That's.
[68:34]
Big Cat
I didn't think about that.
[68:35]
PFT Commenter
Big head.
[68:35]
Hank
Yeah. All right.
[68:35]
Big Cat
Hank, you got this, bro.
[68:37]
Lane Johnson
Thanks, bro.
[68:38]
Big Cat
Come on, little bro.
[68:38]
PFT Commenter
We want parentheses McDonald's.
[68:40]
Max
No.
[68:41]
PFT Commenter
Why?
[68:42]
Max
No Quarter Pounder.
[68:43]
Hank
What?
[68:43]
Max
Quarter.
[68:43]
Hank
Yeah.
[68:44]
Max
You picked A Quarter Pounder?
[68:46]
PFT Commenter
McDonald's Quarter Pounder.
[68:47]
Hank
Come on.
[68:47]
PFT Commenter
That's. Things that starts with Q.
[68:50]
Lane Johnson
Knock.
[68:51]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, but it's parentheses.
[68:52]
Max
No quarter pound.
[68:53]
PFT Commenter
Are you guys serious? Pft. You agree? That's ridiculous.
[68:56]
Max
It's a burger.
[68:57]
Hank
Okay?
[68:57]
Big Cat
I honestly think that Quarter Pounder looks better.
[69:00]
Hank
Okay?
[69:00]
Big Cat
But if you want me, I'm fine with you wanting. If you want it, you can have it.
[69:04]
PFT Commenter
You're being a. You're being real dick.
[69:06]
Big Cat
I think. I think putting parentheses McDonald, it hurts their case.
[69:10]
Lane Johnson
We are gonna take Quentin Tarantino movies, okay? Add on the list, and then with our third pick, we are going to take just based off the movie. Never actually had any myself, but Quaaludes.
[69:27]
Hank
Okay, Good pick. Okay.
[69:29]
PFT Commenter
Not drug guys.
[69:29]
Big Cat
Not drug guys. Two scene. Quaaludes.
[69:32]
Hank
Yeah.
[69:32]
PFT Commenter
Not drug guys.
[69:33]
Lane Johnson
Long before the twos, there was the cues.
[69:36]
Big Cat
Gotta get loose.
[69:37]
PFT Commenter
Okay, what do we want to do here?
[69:42]
Max
I like 12 or maybe 10. What do you think?
[69:46]
PFT Commenter
What about six?
[69:49]
Max
Six is good.
[69:50]
PFT Commenter
It sounds like you don't love six.
[69:51]
Max
I like six.
[69:52]
Hank
I.
[69:54]
Big Cat
Not much of a six guy.
[69:55]
PFT Commenter
No, he doesn't sound like he likes six.
[69:59]
Max
Can get overstimulating sometimes.
[70:01]
Hank
Okay, okay, okay. All right.
[70:08]
PFT Commenter
You want to go 12? Let's go 12. You think it is the.
[70:13]
Hank
It's. Oh, no, you.
[70:14]
PFT Commenter
You know what? You pick.
[70:16]
Max
I like your choice.
[70:17]
PFT Commenter
Balls in your court. Let's go. Don't take whatever you think is going to do the best. They're all great picks. We have a great list. I. I like your instincts. Go with your instincts. Go with your gut.
[70:29]
Max
Okay, we're going to take. We're going to take Quavo.
[70:32]
Hank
Okay.
[70:32]
PFT Commenter
From Migos. Okay. There we go.
[70:35]
Hank
Rip.
[70:36]
PFT Commenter
Skirt.
[70:36]
Big Cat
Skirt.
[70:37]
Lane Johnson
Nope, he's not dead.
[70:39]
Big Cat
You don't know what I meant by rip.
[70:41]
PFT Commenter
He's not dead. Definitely not dead.
[70:43]
Big Cat
Rap in peace.
[70:44]
Hank
Okay. Okay.
[70:46]
PFT Commenter
Max is. Max is back. Fillman Memes made a bad pick.
[70:51]
Max
No, I like Queen Latifah.
[70:52]
PFT Commenter
He took Queen Latifah.
[70:53]
Big Cat
What's your favorite Queen Latifah song?
[70:56]
Max
I don't know. She's a queen.
[70:58]
Hank
Okay, we.
[70:59]
Cam Juergens
No one's done this, right?
[71:00]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, yeah.
[71:00]
Big Cat
We'll take Queen.
[71:01]
Cam Juergens
The band.
[71:01]
Hank
Okay. Good pick.
[71:02]
PFT Commenter
Had it on our list.
[71:06]
Cam Juergens
We got.
[71:07]
Max
You want to do the cartoon.
[71:11]
Cam Juergens
Don't you think that.
[71:14]
Stephen Che
What?
[71:14]
Max
I think he's overthinking.
[71:15]
PFT Commenter
Would you think of what?
[71:16]
Big Cat
Of Doug Funny's alter ego.
[71:18]
Max
No, I. That was on my list.
[71:21]
PFT Commenter
It's a good pick.
[71:22]
Max
Can I pick it?
[71:24]
PFT Commenter
I think. Max, if I can. If I can interject real quick. I think the Queen Latifah pick is going to be the end of your guys draft here.
[71:33]
Hank
Giggity.
[71:34]
PFT Commenter
Doesn't really matter. I don't care.
[71:37]
Max
Queen Latifah is a good pick.
[71:40]
Hank
What?
[71:43]
PFT Commenter
You're a big Queen Latifah fan? Yeah, in the second round.
[71:46]
Max
I love Gwen Latifa. She did that movie scene where she rode a bike through the city.
[71:50]
Lane Johnson
Remember Taxi?
[71:51]
PFT Commenter
Taxi Driver.
[71:52]
Hank
Okay.
[71:54]
Max
What are you thinking?
[71:55]
Big Cat
Shane likes her.
[71:56]
Hank
Pick it.
[71:56]
Max
As do Quagmire.
[71:58]
Hank
Okay. Okay.
[72:00]
PFT Commenter
Zach, I think we should go with. With 11. Just because if we're being true to ourselves and what made us laugh the most.
[72:07]
I
Rip it.
[72:07]
Hank
Okay.
[72:09]
PFT Commenter
Our last pick. We're gonna take quitting. No better feeling.
[72:12]
Big Cat
We had that in the list too.
[72:13]
Hank
Yeah.
[72:13]
PFT Commenter
Quitting is.
[72:14]
Big Cat
Quitting's good.
[72:15]
PFT Commenter
Especially if you're losing.
[72:16]
Hank
Yeah.
[72:17]
PFT Commenter
Just quitting.
[72:18]
Cam Juergens
I don't think that'll look good on a graphic.
[72:19]
PFT Commenter
Okay, that's fine. You quit on this Mount Rushmore.
[72:26]
Big Cat
Quitting is.
[72:26]
PFT Commenter
You literally just quit quitting.
[72:28]
Big Cat
It is so satisfying.
[72:29]
PFT Commenter
It felt good. It's the best feeling. If you ever quit your job, you don't like. Best feeling in the world.
[72:34]
Big Cat
When I quit golf for those three.
[72:35]
PFT Commenter
Days, I felt awesome just being like, you know what? I'm not gonna do this thing anymore.
[72:39]
Hank
Yeah.
[72:39]
PFT Commenter
It's so good.
[72:40]
Big Cat
This thing sucks. I can do anything now that I'm not doing this old thing again.
[72:43]
Hank
Yeah. All right.
[72:46]
Lane Johnson
I don't know. Pft.
[72:47]
PFT Commenter
There's a lot of picks left on the board.
[72:49]
Lane Johnson
Picks left on the board.
[72:50]
Big Cat
Tons.
[72:50]
Lane Johnson
Hank, do we go with, like, what's better for society? Do we go with what's.
[72:55]
PFT Commenter
You guys should play to yourself. I'm gonna like more.
[72:57]
Big Cat
I'm kind of interested to see what Hank thinks is better for society.
[73:00]
Lane Johnson
Well, there's one obvious one that's great for society.
[73:03]
PFT Commenter
We played one that we. We. We thought was funny to ourselves. Don't pander to the board.
[73:10]
Lane Johnson
I'm not pandering. I'm just trying to make the best pick on the. On the board.
[73:13]
Hank
Okay. Hank.
[73:15]
Big Cat
I would say I'm gonna. I'm gonna highlight it.
[73:18]
Hank
Okay.
[73:19]
Big Cat
Is this the one that you're saying is good for society?
[73:21]
Lane Johnson
It's our second. Second thing.
[73:24]
Big Cat
Oh, no, don't pick that.
[73:25]
Lane Johnson
Okay.
[73:25]
PFT Commenter
Oh, you gotta pick it now.
[73:26]
Big Cat
That's a bad pick.
[73:27]
Hank
Pick it.
[73:28]
Big Cat
I would say either the one. I would say number three or number five.
[73:32]
Lane Johnson
All right.
[73:33]
Big Cat
Oh, five is a good one.
[73:35]
Hank
All right.
[73:35]
Lane Johnson
We're gonna go with. I like five. We're gonna go quests.
[73:37]
PFT Commenter
Okay.
[73:38]
Lane Johnson
Anytime you go, anytime you do anything and you say it's a quest, instead of, like, I'm going to the grocery store, but you say, I was on a quest.
[73:45]
Hank
Yep.
[73:46]
Lane Johnson
It just sounds fun.
[73:46]
Big Cat
It's awesome.
[73:47]
Lane Johnson
Anything you do that can even somehow be described as a quest is fun.
[73:51]
Big Cat
It's an adventure.
[73:52]
Hank
Yeah.
[73:53]
Lane Johnson
Like, if someone asks you to go on a quest, doesn't matter what it is. It already sounds more fun than.
[73:57]
Hank
Yeah.
[73:57]
Lane Johnson
Going on a trip.
[73:58]
Hank
What.
[74:00]
PFT Commenter
What was left off? What's the last time you went on a quest?
[74:03]
Big Cat
Oh, dude, you'd go on quest all the time.
[74:05]
Hank
Yeah.
[74:06]
Lane Johnson
Last night.
[74:07]
PFT Commenter
Yeah. I haven't gone on any quests, but I. Zach. I'm being honest. Zach was high on it, so I have to back up my teammate. I can't.
[74:14]
Lane Johnson
He was like when Zach goes to McDonald's. That might be a quest.
[74:17]
Big Cat
Definitely.
[74:18]
PFT Commenter
What were you guys deciding between Max.
[74:22]
Cam Juergens
We honestly didn't have much on the board.
[74:24]
PFT Commenter
You didn't have anything left?
[74:28]
Hank
No.
[74:29]
Lane Johnson
I'm happy you talked me out of quantum physics. Bfd.
[74:31]
Hank
Oh, yeah.
[74:32]
Big Cat
That's what Hank thought was good for society. It is.
[74:34]
Lane Johnson
Mri, lasers, gps, like so many great things that we use in our day to day life are direct results of quantum physics without quantum physics.
[74:42]
Big Cat
MRIs are quantum physics.
[74:44]
Lane Johnson
Are results of quantum physics.
[74:45]
Big Cat
I didn't know that.
[74:46]
Lane Johnson
Yeah, a lot of things.
[74:48]
Hank
All right.
[74:48]
Lane Johnson
Yes.
[74:48]
Big Cat
I just said I didn't want you to box yourself into corner when you would have to then explain what quantum physics were.
[74:53]
Hank
Yeah.
[74:54]
PFT Commenter
What do we got? LEDs, mobile phones, GPS.
[75:00]
Big Cat
We had quad box.
[75:02]
Hank
Yep. Had that.
[75:03]
PFT Commenter
That was what? That was six that we were thinking about.
[75:05]
Lane Johnson
That was.
[75:05]
PFT Commenter
We already boxes for sure.
[75:08]
Cam Juergens
A better pick than quests.
[75:09]
PFT Commenter
No call box is a good pick. I. We were. That was one that we almost went with.
[75:13]
Big Cat
We had Quebec.
[75:14]
Hank
Okay.
[75:15]
Big Cat
Queens of the stone age.
[75:16]
Hank
Yep.
[75:17]
Lane Johnson
Doesn't Canada hate people from Quebec? Isn't that like the. The redheaded stepchild of Canada?
[75:21]
Big Cat
I think it's more like people from Quebec don't really like the rest of Canada.
[75:25]
Hank
Yeah.
[75:27]
PFT Commenter
Qdoba.
[75:29]
Big Cat
Yeah, that's a good one.
[75:30]
Hank
The.
[75:30]
PFT Commenter
I think the best pick that we had that we didn't pick, but it would have. Who knows how it look and everything but quilted toilet paper. Three ply. That's the best.
[75:40]
Big Cat
It's a good one.
[75:40]
PFT Commenter
You know, you got it. I mean, you can't go to two ply. One ply. God damn it.
[75:44]
Lane Johnson
I think it would have depend on the parentheses. And I feel like we would have got overruled. But if we could have put quarters, the drinking game would have been a good pick. I feel like you guys would just made a say quarters.
[75:54]
Hank
Yeah.
[75:55]
PFT Commenter
No, I mean I had. I had. I was trying to figure out Brady Quinn spiral.
[75:59]
Lane Johnson
Didn't really qui Gon Jinn.
[76:03]
PFT Commenter
There was a moment that.
[76:05]
Cam Juergens
No, I don't know what that is.
[76:07]
Lane Johnson
Star Wars Episode one.
[76:08]
PFT Commenter
I've never seen. You got our natural reaction.
[76:11]
Big Cat
I saw that on the list.
[76:12]
PFT Commenter
I wasn't gonna pretend that I knew what you were talking about.
[76:14]
Big Cat
Liam Neeson.
[76:15]
Lane Johnson
He's like the most. Yeah, whatever. Darth Vault kills him.
[76:18]
PFT Commenter
Zach. Zach threw out questions and I go, why? And he goes, exactly.
[76:21]
Big Cat
There you go.
[76:22]
PFT Commenter
He got me. Got me good with that.
[76:24]
Big Cat
You don't learn much if you don't ask questions.
[76:26]
PFT Commenter
What did you say about questions? That's how we.
[76:29]
Big Cat
That's how we learn everything.
[76:30]
Max
That's how we. Without questions, we have nothing.
[76:31]
PFT Commenter
We have literally nothing.
[76:32]
Lane Johnson
I thought something similar, but in. For the. Like, just a question mark and just having the graphic have a question mark.
[76:39]
Big Cat
But that's not a key.
[76:40]
Lane Johnson
That would be abstract but confusing. But I don't think it would have.
[76:43]
PFT Commenter
I don't think it would have played.
[76:45]
Lane Johnson
But, like, think of how often people use the question mark.
[76:49]
Hank
Yeah.
[76:49]
Big Cat
Hank, put Quantum of Solace on there.
[76:52]
Hank
Okay.
[76:52]
Lane Johnson
Actually, bad movie, though, unfortunately.
[76:54]
Big Cat
Quakers, the religion. Shout out my Quakers out there, my friends.
[76:58]
PFT Commenter
Quiet car on the train.
[77:00]
Big Cat
Quiet car. Pretty good.
[77:01]
PFT Commenter
Pretty nice when you get it. Quasars.
[77:05]
Hank
I got.
[77:05]
PFT Commenter
Zach's gonna be up all night. I. I got him on quasars.
[77:08]
Big Cat
Quasars.
[77:09]
PFT Commenter
Quasars are like super black holes that, like, shoot a huge light through it.
[77:16]
Big Cat
That's pretty rad.
[77:17]
Hank
Yeah.
[77:18]
Big Cat
Qatar, the country.
[77:19]
PFT Commenter
Look up quasars.
[77:20]
Big Cat
I know the Amir is a listener right now. Mr. Amir, hope you're finding your day to be peaceful and bountiful as always.
[77:27]
Hank
Yeah.
[77:31]
Lane Johnson
And not a lot.
[77:32]
Cam Juergens
How do you spell. Spell this.
[77:38]
Hank
Yeah. There you go.
[77:39]
PFT Commenter
A quasar is a very luminous, distant galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole. These objects are incredibly bright, sometimes outshining entire galaxies. Quasars are thought to be powered by material falling into a supermassive black hole. You lost me. Which heats up and emits intense radiation as it spirals inward. Look at that. Look at the visual of it.
[78:00]
Big Cat
That is pretty sick.
[78:01]
PFT Commenter
It's fucking awesome.
[78:02]
Big Cat
Yeah, it's. It's like God peeing into a toilet.
[78:05]
Hank
Yeah.
[78:05]
PFT Commenter
It's so sick.
[78:06]
Hank
Yeah.
[78:07]
PFT Commenter
Quasars. Get everyone on to quasars.
[78:10]
Big Cat
The Kunan shaman.
[78:11]
PFT Commenter
Yes. Qanon.
[78:12]
Big Cat
That guy rocks.
[78:14]
PFT Commenter
QVC network.
[78:15]
Big Cat
Okay.
[78:15]
Hank
Yeah.
[78:16]
Big Cat
Really fun shopping.
[78:17]
PFT Commenter
Really fun. I don't know if this would play, but I've always just kind of been interested in it. Quicksand. Is it real?
[78:24]
Hank
Yeah. I don't know.
[78:25]
PFT Commenter
Kind of cool.
[78:26]
Cam Juergens
I said Quakers. I don't really know anything about them.
[78:29]
Big Cat
I said Quakers, too.
[78:30]
Hank
Yeah.
[78:30]
PFT Commenter
You know, one Quiches.
[78:32]
Cam Juergens
Pen me. You're a Quaker?
[78:35]
Big Cat
I'm a Quaker, bro.
[78:35]
Hank
Yeah.
[78:36]
Cam Juergens
Oh, I didn't know that.
[78:37]
Hank
Yeah.
[78:38]
Cam Juergens
I just know the pen. The pen.
[78:39]
Max
Quaker.
[78:39]
Big Cat
I don't have to fight in a war.
[78:40]
PFT Commenter
Really sick. That is like.
[78:42]
Lane Johnson
I feel like you said that on macrodosing. And that was never talked about on the show.
[78:45]
PFT Commenter
He said it before.
[78:45]
Big Cat
Life hack. Really become Quaker so you don't have to serve.
[78:50]
PFT Commenter
I don't. What the military part?
[78:51]
Lane Johnson
The Quaker. He's a Quaker.
[78:54]
Hank
Yeah.
[78:54]
PFT Commenter
Well, I think I said that. He was raised as a Quaker.
[78:57]
Big Cat
I was. I haven't been to meeting in probably 30 years.
[79:00]
Lane Johnson
That's what it's called.
[79:01]
Hank
Yeah.
[79:01]
Big Cat
Meeting.
[79:02]
Cam Juergens
Cult Meeting.
[79:02]
Big Cat
Friends. Meeting what? Yeah, it's called the Society of Friends.
[79:07]
Lane Johnson
What the.
[79:08]
Big Cat
You just.
[79:08]
PFT Commenter
You just.
[79:09]
Big Cat
You just kind of hang out in silence. There's no real leader. And then if you're compelled to speak, you speak. Sometimes people talk a lot.
[79:14]
Lane Johnson
Do they read? Is there any, like.
[79:17]
Big Cat
Do they have literally what's on your mind? Memes. Memes has a banger right now.
[79:20]
PFT Commenter
They have oatmeal.
[79:22]
Big Cat
We do not make oatmeal.
[79:23]
Hank
Okay.
[79:24]
Big Cat
I've never produced oatmeal, although I do enjoy it. Memes. What's the banger that you're thinking of now?
[79:28]
Max
Does the tallest person stand up in the meeting and they're the leader?
[79:32]
Hank
Yeah. Yep.
[79:33]
Big Cat
That's what happens. That's why I quit. That's why I stopped going.
[79:38]
PFT Commenter
Such a dick. Quality time with the boys.
[79:43]
Hank
Zach had that one.
[79:44]
PFT Commenter
That's a good one, Zach. Rip off a couple that you had.
[79:46]
Max
What do you guessing about Quartz countertops. Fantastic in kitchens.
[79:50]
Big Cat
Quartz in general, I think, is an underrated material.
[79:52]
Max
Definitely beautiful.
[79:53]
Hank
Yeah.
[79:53]
PFT Commenter
Queer Eye, the show.
[79:55]
Hank
Yeah.
[79:56]
Big Cat
I've never watched it, but it's a. It's a iconic show.
[80:00]
PFT Commenter
Do you think this would have played in any way? Because it's such a funny word. Queef.
[80:05]
Big Cat
We talked about it.
[80:06]
Hank
Yeah.
[80:07]
Big Cat
Don't really know. I enjoy good queef. It's funny.
[80:12]
PFT Commenter
It's funny to call someone a queef.
[80:14]
Hank
Yeah.
[80:14]
PFT Commenter
Or say the word queef.
[80:15]
Big Cat
Yeah, it's funny.
[80:16]
PFT Commenter
I don't know if an actual queef would be funny.
[80:20]
Big Cat
Quake, the video game.
[80:22]
Hank
Yeah.
[80:24]
Big Cat
Good game.
[80:24]
Max
Quahog is the town from Family Guy.
[80:27]
Big Cat
Is it also like a clam or an oyster?
[80:30]
Hank
Yep. Love.
[80:31]
PFT Commenter
Love a guy who does a quick pitch.
[80:32]
Big Cat
Yeah, Quick pitches are good.
[80:34]
PFT Commenter
Pretty awesome.
[80:35]
Big Cat
Quick trip baseball. The gas station.
[80:37]
Hank
Yeah. What do we.
[80:41]
PFT Commenter
What else we got? There's some Quentin Richardson. Quinn Richardson.
[80:43]
Hank
Yeah.
[80:44]
PFT Commenter
That's Quinn Snyder. Quincy doobie. Quincy. A.C. what?
[80:50]
Cam Juergens
Zach said a quickie.
[80:51]
Hank
Quickie.
[80:52]
Big Cat
Quickie.
[80:52]
Hank
Yeah.
[80:52]
PFT Commenter
That's all I know.
[80:54]
Max
Same.
[80:55]
Big Cat
Quick is great.
[80:56]
Lane Johnson
Same.
[80:57]
PFT Commenter
Read the shirt.
[81:00]
Hank
All right.
[81:01]
PFT Commenter
Quicksilver. If you want to look like your surfer.
[81:03]
Hank
Yeah.
[81:04]
Big Cat
Surfer, bro.
[81:07]
PFT Commenter
Q tips, Q T. Q tips.
[81:09]
Big Cat
I love a good Q tip.
[81:11]
Hank
What do you hate about Q tips?
[81:13]
Lane Johnson
Just feel like I'm, like, hitting my brain.
[81:15]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it probably is that close. Just scraping your brain.
[81:21]
Lane Johnson
Not a qtip guy.
[81:22]
Hank
Okay.
[81:25]
PFT Commenter
Quiznos.
[81:26]
Big Cat
Yeah, Quiznos was so good.
[81:28]
Cam Juergens
Quiznos. I was out.
[81:29]
PFT Commenter
Oh, no. But they toasted the sub.
[81:32]
Big Cat
You didn't experience the. The prime of Quiznos. Yeah, Quiznos was prime. Like, 2000 to 2004, 2005. It was different.
[81:40]
Lane Johnson
Quiznos and Sonic had so many commercials on, and there was. Neither of them were anywhere near where I lived growing up. So those were. They were, like, exotic. Like, anytime I could get Quizzos or Sonic, I was like, this is huge. This is a huge day.
[81:53]
PFT Commenter
Quizzos had, like, the little mini toasted ones, like, the wraps. Those were.
[81:58]
Hank
Yeah.
[81:59]
PFT Commenter
Around, like, 2008. That was. It was hot.
[82:01]
Big Cat
They were so good. And then. And then Subway realized, hey, we can also put a giant toaster in our restaurant.
[82:07]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, this could work for us as well.
[82:10]
Hank
Okay.
[82:10]
PFT Commenter
Any. Any other. Oh, quiche. I think we said that, but quiches are good. They're very French, but they're good.
[82:16]
Big Cat
They're okay.
[82:16]
Hank
Yeah.
[82:17]
PFT Commenter
You don't, like. Rather doing trash. Quinoa is gross. Garbage.
[82:23]
Lane Johnson
Healthy.
[82:23]
Cam Juergens
It's garbage.
[82:25]
Lane Johnson
Health. Super healthy.
[82:26]
PFT Commenter
Garbage.
[82:27]
Big Cat
If you ask me, would I rather have a quiche or an omelette? I'm doing omelette.
[82:30]
PFT Commenter
Well, yeah, but that's not what.
[82:31]
Hank
That's.
[82:32]
PFT Commenter
A quiche is not for an omelet setting. A quiche is for going to someone's house for, like, breakfast. Like, you know what I mean?
[82:41]
Cam Juergens
Like a quiche. Better than they have, like, bagels.
[82:45]
Big Cat
If you're gonna give me the option of having, like, the. The baked pastry egg thing, I'm going frittata.
[82:50]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, but you see what I'm saying, Like, I'm talking.
[82:52]
Lane Johnson
Ordering quiche at a restaurant.
[82:54]
PFT Commenter
Correct. But quiches are perfect for. If you show up to someone, someone's like, hey, we're gonna have breakfast. You know, come over to our house. There's a quiche.
[83:01]
Cam Juergens
There isn't a frittata.
[83:02]
Big Cat
Just a quiche.
[83:03]
Cam Juergens
Without the pie crust, it's frittata.
[83:05]
Hank
Yeah.
[83:05]
PFT Commenter
And the pie crust is awesome.
[83:07]
Big Cat
Frittata. Give me the frittata.
[83:09]
PFT Commenter
It's good to have you back, Max. Talk about food. Me and you. This is our. This is our spot.
[83:14]
Hank
Yeah.
[83:15]
PFT Commenter
The pie crust, it is quiche. We came back on quiches.
[83:22]
Hank
Yeah.
[83:22]
Cam Juergens
I like quiche. I like. Quiche is superior. Superior to frittata.
[83:28]
Hank
Okay.
[83:29]
PFT Commenter
Any others?
[83:30]
Hank
Matt?
[83:30]
PFT Commenter
Zach, did you have any others that you had that you're trying to throw around there.
[83:34]
Stephen Che
I was.
[83:34]
Max
I was pretty tapped. But I quiz. Quizlet. The flashcard website.
[83:40]
PFT Commenter
Yep. Also quizzes.
[83:42]
Big Cat
No, hate quizzes.
[83:43]
PFT Commenter
Oh. I think quizzes are. Because it's not a test and it's never going to be graded like a test. And it's pretty quick. I kind of like a quiz.
[83:50]
Big Cat
It's. It's. I guess I could see it for an honorable mention, but no, no chance. That's on the.
[83:53]
PFT Commenter
No, no, you can't pick it. But I always didn't hate quizzes because you're like, oh, okay, there's gonna be like, what, 10 questions here? It's gonna be like 1% of your grade. Who cares?
[84:04]
Big Cat
Queen Latifah, though, good pick.
[84:05]
PFT Commenter
Throw a quiz at me.
[84:07]
Cam Juergens
You said quest.
[84:08]
Big Cat
Yeah, quests.
[84:09]
Cam Juergens
Like, you can't say Queen Latifah is a terrible pick when you have quests on the board.
[84:13]
Big Cat
All of Queen Latifah's movies are about her going on quests.
[84:15]
PFT Commenter
Wait, you don't like quests?
[84:17]
Cam Juergens
Quests? What does that even mean?
[84:20]
PFT Commenter
It's a little goofy again. I got to back my guy Zach, though. It's a great pick. I got to keep his confidence. Imagine if we just get like a beyhive of Queen Latifah fans and these guys just crush this draft. Okay, let's get to our interviews. We got Saquon and then we have Lane Johnson and Cam Juergens. Awesome interviews from Eagles camp.
[84:44]
Big Cat

[86:46]
Hank
Okay.
[86:46]
PFT Commenter
We now welcome on a very, very, very, very special guest, the best running back in the NFL. It is Grit Week, presented by. Hey dude, it's Saquon Barkley. Super bowl champ. Saquon, thank you for joining us. First question that we start every Grit Week interview with is what does the word grit mean to you?
[87:05]
Stephen Che
What does the word grit mean to me? I feel like it's just all about having that mentality of finding ways to get through it. Whether it's adversity or ups and downs, find a way to battle in, you know. And right now we're kind of in that mentality in camp where you got to have that grit on those hot days, on the long days in the summer and all that stuff adds up for you to have a great year.
[87:32]
Hank
Yeah.
[87:32]
Big Cat
Can you have fun while you're being gritty? Like while things suck here in camp, is it still fun for you?
[87:37]
Stephen Che
Yeah, I think you have certain ways you do it. For me, it's like the competitive sides come out so, you know, throughout the grit, sometimes I'll just talk shit and say crazy stuff to the defense. Don't really even mean it, but it helps me get through it. It pumps them up and it just gets the juices flowing even more.
[87:54]
Hank
Yeah.
[87:54]
PFT Commenter
By the way, congrats on not only the super bowl, but Madden cover. That's pretty damn cool. Madden's coming out like, obviously you played it as a kid when you found out that you're gonna be on the COVID of Madden where you're like, holy, this is insane.
[88:09]
Stephen Che
Yeah, I say this all the time. Every time. Anytime someone asks me that question, they actually ask you, do you want to be on the COVID of Madden?
[88:15]
Hank
Right. Yeah.
[88:15]
PFT Commenter
Imagine if you said no.
[88:16]
Stephen Che
Like, I wonder how many people has ever. I guess not even before the curse. Yeah, you have to. They just ask you first and like you have to accept being on the COVID of Madden. And like to me I'm like, I mean, why would I ever say no?
[88:27]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, that's not even a question.
[88:28]
Stephen Che
Why would I ever say no? But you know, being on the COVID of Madden and just how many guys that I grew up watching and been fans of, you know, watching football for a very long time. And to be in that fraternity now is something that, you know, it's. My kids is going to always be able to go back and you know, go to this certain Madden and see their dad on it and my nieces and nephews and my teammates seeing it. So it's cool. It's really cool.
[88:54]
PFT Commenter
And 99 rating.
[88:55]
Stephen Che
99.
[88:56]
PFT Commenter
99, that's, that's.
[88:57]
Stephen Che
I don't gotta, I don't gotta go choose them up. Yeah, I don't gotta go and edit my player and make myself a 99 anymore.
[89:03]
Hank
Yeah.
[89:03]
Stephen Che
But this cool 99 Madden and like Madden's just like part of the culture of football and growing up. Like you want to make it to NFL, but you think about being a 99 overall, you think about being on the COVID Madden, being in Madden in general. So my life been super, super amazing.
[89:21]
Hank
Yeah.
[89:21]
PFT Commenter
So you still play?
[89:22]
Big Cat
You still play Madden?
[89:23]
Stephen Che
Yeah, of course.
[89:24]
Big Cat
You play with yourself?
[89:25]
Stephen Che
I play Madden in a weird way, right? I guess it's not really that weird, but to me, like, I play franchise mode. I go on, I'll take a team, I'll trade all their great players, get as many draft picks as I can, and then draft random guys and kind of make a rebuild. So that's like how I play Madden.
[89:41]
PFT Commenter
Are you playing with the Eagles?
[89:43]
Stephen Che
No, we're pretty good. So I don't.
[89:44]
PFT Commenter
So who are you playing with?
[89:45]
Stephen Che
I'll pick a random team.
[89:46]
PFT Commenter
What team are you playing with right now?
[89:48]
Stephen Che
Right now it's probably either the jets or Rams.
[89:50]
Big Cat
Okay, so you might win a Super bowl with the Jets.
[89:53]
Stephen Che
So that's what I do. Like, I'll get it crazy. You can like scout players and you can draft and I'll get, I'LL get a good quarterback, good running back and I'll basically, I'll trade all the guys like any player you think on that team.
[90:04]
Hank
Yeah.
[90:04]
Stephen Che
And get as many picks as I can and then rebuild, get a new random coach and take them to the to championship.
[90:10]
Big Cat
That's kind of how the jets real gm.
[90:12]
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
[90:13]
Big Cat
Plays Madden too.
[90:14]
PFT Commenter
You could be the jets gm.
[90:15]
Stephen Che
Hey, listen, I'm a, I will stay away from that. I'm a Jets fan growing up. Yeah, I'm not a fan anymore, but a Jets fan growing up. So I know the struggles, but I also know the, the glory days with Mark Sanchez and the boys. So I'm gonna let the, let those guys be GMs. I'm stick to running football a little bit.
[90:34]
Hank
Yeah.
[90:34]
Big Cat
I mean it's big for the position of running back too. To have representation on the COVID of Back to Back and be like, yeah, that's right. Because it was Christian McCaffrey.
[90:41]
Hank
Right.
[90:42]
Big Cat
So are running backs back.
[90:44]
Stephen Che
I don't think running backs ever left, in my opinion. I think it was just something that, you know, people had some fun with.
[90:50]
Big Cat
I guess there's one off season where.
[90:52]
Stephen Che
It was, it was one off season and Zoom call. Exactly. And they didn't want to, they didn't want to pay certain guys and they had the tag at their advantage. And I think, you know, looking at both sides is a smart thing for them to do. But it's football. You got to be able to play great defense and you got to be able to run the ball. And when you run the ball, people think about just the running back position. It takes all of us. And you just see the two guys out here, they're a big product of that. But our offensive line, our tight ends, our scheme, you don't rush for 2,000 yards by accident. And it takes a group to do that. So you need to run the ball well and play great defense to be able to compete at a high level.
[91:27]
PFT Commenter
Have you thought about, or maybe you've done this, apologizing to Joe Shane for just the fact that that clip just goes viral all the time. You kind of rubbed it in like 2,000 yards. Yeah, you could have done a little.
[91:41]
Stephen Che
Bit worse, I think, you know, it's kind of on them when you look at it from the inside. Like they have to sign off on that and make the decision for that clip to go out there. And that's what they did. But it's, it's funny because you would think from social media, like, there's this big beef with me, Joe Shane and like the Giants and in reality, like, we're all, you know, I still talk to them here and there before the game. I got to see all of them before the game last year, the end of the season, where I didn't end up playing, but got to see them, and they were super happy for me for rushing for 2,000 yards the week prior. It's a business. The NFL is a weird business. You know, obviously, I'm not a fan of that side of it when it comes to the money side, but, you know, those guys were a big reason why I was able to get back. Like, before I had an ACL ankle and Dave and all those guys came in and believed in me and trusted in me and kind of helped me get my swagger back and is a big reason why you see the type of player right now.
[92:37]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, I think if the Hard Knocks clip didn't exist, it wouldn't be. It just was. I mean, basically all his nightmares came true.
[92:44]
Stephen Che
I'm kind of happy, though. It saved me.
[92:46]
Big Cat
Yeah.
[92:46]
PFT Commenter
How so?
[92:47]
Stephen Che
People thought, like, oh, you're right. I just, you know, I mean, so you got to see. It depends. Like, you have fans that, you know, they're just blinded by it and they're just like, oh, he just left.
[92:56]
Hank
Right.
[92:56]
Stephen Che
You got to see that. It's like, yes, we had a negotiation process the year before, but that year, you know, they gave me opportunity to hit the open market, which was the right thing to do by the Giants. A lot of people don't talk about that. Like, they didn't have to do that. So for Joe, Shane and all those guys over there to be like, the right thing to do by. By him is to let him test the market, and I gave him the opportunity to match it. You know, obviously they felt like I wasn't worth what they thought that number was. And best thing that ever happened to me, and I'm here. I'm in Philly. I'm with Howie. I'm with Big Dom. With all these guys. I got the best offensive line of football. We just came off a Super bowl win, and things are. Are continuing to go great.
[93:33]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[93:34]
Big Cat
Was there. Was there a part of you that thought, like, is Philly really the right choice because of that rivalry against the Giants? And obviously you're close with a lot of guys on the Giants, right? Still to this day?
[93:43]
Stephen Che
Yeah. No, it never. Like, I used to hate Philly. I tell these guys all the time. Literally the week leading, the year, leading in. To my last year in New York, we lost to Philly in the playoffs, we lost to him three times in a row. And, you know, I was tagged so I couldn't go into the building, but I would still hang out with the guys, like in off season programs and throwing trips and like, we would break it down on F, the Eagles on three. Like, we felt like that was a team that we needed to beat to get to the level that we wanted to get to. So the thing about me choosing and coming to Philadelphia, like, I knew I would get some backlash from some fans, but when you really. We put a list, me and my family put a list of pros and cons, and the only con that stuck out was people might be upset. It was like, I can't make decisions based on my life off of what people feel like. And I think so far it showed that I made the right decision.
[94:34]
Big Cat
Yeah, I'd say so. I'd say so. You won.
[94:38]
Stephen Che
No, it's not about who won. It doesn't go like that with just one year. For me, it's coming here won't. Like I wanted to expand my legacy because I feel like the player that I want to be is still out there. But the thing that I've learned coming here, like, I want to be a Hall of Fame type of player, but this organization is outstanding, like from top to bottom. The type of people that they have, like every section you could think of, whether it's coaches, whether the staff, whether it's the training room, like, they're just unbelievable people. So it's cool, like winning Super Bowls and breaking records, but like, to be able to have myself attached to this organization means even more.
[95:15]
Big Cat
What you just said about like being the player that you want to be is, Is really interesting because you've been a great running back in the league for a while, but you've. I think you've evolved too in terms of your style, like picking up new things. What's. What's something that, like when you got into the league, you made an effort to get better at a certain part of your game that maybe you weren't so strong at. That's evolved yourself into what you are right now?
[95:35]
Stephen Che
I think it's just understanding the scheme, letting the game come to me. I feel like when I was younger, I tried to force it. And it's funny, ironically enough, last year I had the longest touchdown runs I've ever had as a NFL player. But in the beginning, you know, I always trusted my speed and my athletic ability that, like, I knew I could make that jump cut and get to Wherever hole I want to, that sometimes I would try to make something out of nothing when there was no need. Now it's just knowing like, no, taking that four, taking that three. And when the opportunity comes, gotta make him pay for it.
[96:06]
Big Cat
Yeah. When you get outside, I feel like this last year, if you got outside, it was like, okay, he's just gonna score a touchdown right now.
[96:11]
Stephen Che
Yeah, I got four faster somehow, I'm not gonna lie. But is it really that I get super, that get that much fast from 28 to 21? I wouldn't say now. I just got more efficient with my movements. And there's no secret to it because when I'm here training every Thursday, I'm hitting, I'm hitting high speeds, I'm working on my mechanics every, you know, every single day with Eddie and Nano and D. Wood and Autumn all. And Ben and all those guys. So just the work that I put in throughout the whole season, it showed up on the field and it showed up on Sundays. And that's the cool thing. Everyone gets to see the highlights, but they don't get to see the work that's put into it.
[96:45]
Hank
Yeah.
[96:46]
PFT Commenter
How mad were your coaches when you did the hurdle?
[96:49]
Stephen Che
No, I think they weren't. I think it's probably one of the coolest things they've ever seen.
[96:53]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, no, it's cool. Very cool play. But afterwards, were they like, hey, please don't do that again.
[96:57]
Stephen Che
I don't, I don't.
[96:58]
PFT Commenter
Oh, so you're going to do it again?
[96:59]
Stephen Che
Nope, I don't. I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that. I think that. I don't think. I know. That was the biggest hit I took. Only person who I can say was really mad about the hurdle or any hurdles I ever done is my mama. Okay, my mama don't like when I leave my feet, but I think hurdling is in my future again. But just maybe doing it backwards.
[97:18]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, maybe that was looking forward next time.
[97:20]
Stephen Che
I think it's just, you know, I think that's a one time thing and we, and we just let it go.
[97:24]
PFT Commenter
So you just, you knew, like it was like a sixth sense. You're like, this guy's about to come here. I got this.
[97:29]
Stephen Che
Keep it honest. I spun, had a really good spin move and I was going to spin again. And I realized that if you, if you break down the clip, you can see me. I see him and I'm like, oh, he's not going for the spin. So I kind of just let my body take over and I jumped and I just really timed that pretty well.
[97:44]
PFT Commenter
At one of the sickest places.
[97:45]
Big Cat
It was insane. Bad example for the youngsters out there.
[97:48]
Stephen Che
Though, I was thinking, yeah, it is. But, like, I talk to all my friends all the time. They don't agree with me with this one. But, like, no, I'm not saying I'm Michael Jordan by any way, but, like, when Michael Jordan jumped from the free throw line, like, in 84 or whatever, it was like, that was probably one of the craziest things people seen. Now Zach lavine is East Bay from the free throw line. So it's like, if I'm able to jump over someone backwards right now in, like, 20, 15, 30 years, like, what are these kids like? Because if you go to. I go to my nephew. Seven or seven tournaments, flag tournaments, and like, these kids are eight years old and they look like they're 12 and 15 already. So it's like, in 20, 30 years, like, what move? Like, we think that move is crazy. Like, what is the next move someone's going to be able to do? And, like, it's. It's going to be a scary thing to see.
[98:32]
Big Cat
Yeah, like. Like gymnastics. Like Simone Biles and, like, backflips and.
[98:35]
Hank
Yeah.
[98:36]
Big Cat
Twists. Yes.
[98:37]
Stephen Che
I think backflips are kind of like, normal engine.
[98:39]
Hank
Yeah.
[98:40]
Big Cat
No, but I'm saying, like, incorporating that into, like, football. Oh, you gotta do backflips. And listen, you won't. You won't do it.
[98:50]
PFT Commenter
He's a commander's fan, so he's trying to get.
[98:52]
Stephen Che
Yeah, he's absolutely.
[98:53]
Big Cat
After three losses. I get it. I get it.
[98:58]
Stephen Che
I don't even do backflips. I don't even do backflips. Like, normal, like, you know, I know guys like, like, oh, big play, like, they like to do the cartwheel until, like, that's not my thing.
[99:06]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[99:07]
PFT Commenter
What do you listen to any of the haters, like, going. Obviously there are none now because you had 2,000 yards, but going into this season, did you. Did any of that make it through? Like, where. It's like, people are like, oh, yeah, Saquon's overrated. And, like, this is.
[99:20]
Stephen Che
Yeah, you have to. I think when athletes get up here, we say that we don't see any of that stuff. Like, it's. That's just a lie. Like, we see all of it. Sometimes you make stuff up in your head to help fuel you. Like, a big thing for me is, you know, I see that I'm not going to be good next year because I was too good. The year before, and running backs get older or how many touches. Like, you see that stuff, and it's okay. It's okay to see that. It's okay to, you know, put that in the back of your mind. But when you go out there and you play the game that you love, that can't be the reason behind it. Yeah, I fell to that before, and I think that's a big reason why I was unsuccessful. And I had injuries because I was going out there trying to prove a point rather than going out there and playing a game that I love. And, you know, I get paid a lot of money to play a children's game, so you got to keep that mindset and keep the main thing that matters the most and the love and your team, but it's okay to see that stuff. And when you train and be like, okay, that's what you think. Well, I'm gonna show you this.
[100:15]
Hank
Yeah.
[100:17]
Big Cat
Yeah.
[100:17]
PFT Commenter
We had a guy, the dumbest guy we got.
[100:19]
Big Cat
I got the exact quote here.
[100:21]
Hank
Yeah.
[100:21]
PFT Commenter
He pretends he's a fantasy football expert. He doesn't know.
[100:24]
Big Cat
So this guy said, do not draft in all caps. Saquon Barkley in fantasy ADP average draft position number 10 overall is crazy. He's only rushed for a thousand and five plus yards one time in four of the last five years. Yeah, he has 1,005.
[100:41]
PFT Commenter
Everyone knows 1,005 is the benchmark. That's the mark that you should.
[100:44]
Big Cat
He hasn't had 340 plus receiving yards since 2019. Blame the Giants all you want, but when do we admit he's just not a great player?
[100:52]
Stephen Che
That was this year.
[100:53]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, that was this year. Before this season, 1,005 yards. Only had done it once.
[100:58]
Stephen Che
Oh, he's an idiot.
[100:59]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, he's a.
[101:02]
Stephen Che
Hey, you know what? That's the. That's why, you know, and because it's here right now. You got to be careful what you put out on the Internet, because the Internet is forever.
[101:10]
PFT Commenter
But listen, this was actually like. It actually was great because I think I gave him shit. I think I tweeted. Every time you had a touchdown, I tweeted at him.
[101:18]
Stephen Che
Yeah.
[101:18]
PFT Commenter
And he would be sitting right in front of me, and I would just tweet at him, being like.
[101:21]
Stephen Che
He's like. He's like part of, like, that fantasy stuff, right?
[101:23]
PFT Commenter
Thinks so.
[101:24]
Stephen Che
It's like how if I'm a guy and I'm following you and trying to take your advice over fantasy, and then you go out there and say that, you kind of lose credit.
[101:30]
PFT Commenter
It's A reputation killer.
[101:32]
Stephen Che
Exactly.
[101:32]
PFT Commenter
Like, no one should ever listen to Stephen Che. You should say that. No one should listen to Stephen Che ever again.
[101:36]
Hank
Yeah.
[101:37]
Stephen Che
No one should listen to Steven Chase ever again.
[101:41]
PFT Commenter
That's facts.
[101:42]
Stephen Che
No, in all seriousness, it's just, you gotta. I think, right? And like, this is what I want to do when I'm done with football. I want to get on this side of it. But I think sometimes you see guys up there and they have to say stuff that's going to get clickbait.
[101:58]
Hank
Yeah.
[101:59]
Stephen Che
Even if they don't really believe it. Like, you see stuff going on, like what they say about Nick Sirianni or stuff they say about Jalen now of myself. But, like, it's hot. Like, we're the hottest team in sports right now. We just want to ESPY for it. And when you mention our names and you say something negative about it, it's going to get views even going into last year. So I think a lot of these guys just say some stuff that they don't actually believe.
[102:22]
PFT Commenter
So here's the problem. I agree with everything you just said. The guy we're talking about, Stephen Che, he actually is that dumb that he believed it. Yeah, no, he actually believed it. He thought you were overrated and not very good. And. Thousand and five yards, again, the most important benchmark in all of sports.
[102:38]
Big Cat
The problem is he. He looks smart. So I think people tend to believe him because he wears glasses. So he's like, okay, I gotta trust this guy. He's a nerd.
[102:46]
Hank
Yeah.
[102:46]
Big Cat
But he's a dumb nerd, which is a problem. That's where you run into problems.
[102:49]
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
[102:50]
Stephen Che
Numbers lie. What they. What's the saying? Man's lie, woman's lie, Numbers don't. I used to believe that, but that's not true. The numbers don't always say it. Tell you what it is. And, you know, the career I had in New York, obviously we weren't great. I wasn't on great teams and I had a lot of injuries and, you know, adversity there. But sometimes, just because a guy like you'll have next year, you have a guy who rushes or catches 1500 yards and a guy who catches for 1200 yards, like, that doesn't mean that guy is automatically better. Everyone, opportunity, everyone's situation is completely different. So that's why we need to stay away from, you know, the numbers is good, but I think it's taking over, especially our sport. And they just go by watching film, and film doesn't lie.
[103:32]
PFT Commenter
All right, I got a random question that I just found this from 2020. You were asked, I don't know what interview it was, what are your favorite football or sports podcasts to listen to and why? And you said, I love. Pardon my take. Anytime you get different opinions, I like to hear both sides, and I enjoy the arguing. Did someone feed you that or did you actually listen to the show?
[103:50]
Stephen Che
I think someone fed me that.
[103:51]
Hank
Okay.
[103:51]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, I was gonna say. I was like, what? Yeah, yeah, someone definitely fed you that. Because, like, anytime you get different opinions here, both sides, like, that's not. We're just idiots.
[104:03]
Stephen Che
I wouldn't say listen. Far from idiots. I think it's just, like, it's a beaut. It's a beautiful thing because you guys are just who you are. This is authentic to who you are. You have fun with.
[104:15]
PFT Commenter
Made us feel good.
[104:16]
Stephen Che
You really.
[104:17]
PFT Commenter
We believed in it.
[104:18]
Stephen Che
I can say that now. I can say that confidently now. I'm a big fan of you guys.
[104:21]
Big Cat
When I read it, I was like, I don't think think anybody would ever say that about our show.
[104:24]
Hank
Yeah, right.
[104:25]
PFT Commenter
It was like, you like saying, I love part of my take. That's where I was like, oh, Saquan loves part. And then when I got to the second sentence, I was like, he's not listening.
[104:33]
Stephen Che
We can just go. We can go. It's 2020. That's co year. We can blame it on co. Yeah.
[104:39]
Big Cat
Co brain. You said that?
[104:40]
PFT Commenter
Wait, yeah, it was. Oh, Kenny. Yeah, it was a Spotify interview. And they were like, it would be nice if you said a few things about pmt. Well, listen. Well, we're just gonna. I think we have it printed out in our studio, so we're not gonna take that down.
[104:54]
Lane Johnson
Know what?
[104:54]
Big Cat
You probably listen to tennis podcast, and you were like, these guys are awesome. You got that confused with us. It happens all the time. If you listen to our show, you just be like, why are these four making fun of their producer for two hours? Yeah, that's. That's the takeaway from our.
[105:06]
PFT Commenter
It's just so funny. Anytime you get different opinions, I like to hear both sides. Like, we have the. The same basic opinions on everything.
[105:14]
Big Cat
Yeah, there. And we. We've been wrong a lot. But, I mean, you're talking about getting into the next phase of your career and you want to do so. You said, like, something on the other side, whether that's commentary or whatever.
[105:23]
Hank
Yeah.
[105:24]
Big Cat
The trick is, though, like, you have to figure out a way to deliver your authentic thoughts in an entertaining way. I think a lot of people get screwed up with that. And they're just like, I'm just going to say something that's going to get people riled up.
[105:35]
Hank
Yeah.
[105:36]
Big Cat
And that's the easy way to get there. But have you thought about what that next step looks for you? Is that going to be something that you're going to pursue more while you're playing, or are you going to wait till afterwards?
[105:43]
Stephen Che
I always think it's tough. Right. If you do it while you're playing is so tough, especially in the markets that I've played in New York and Philly. Yeah, it's good. When you rush for 2,000 yards and after games, it's easy to put a mic in front of you and say this and say that. But if you, you know, we played. What was it, Monday night or Sunday night, we played the Falcons, and I had a big drop. You know, it's not as easy to go on in front of a camera and talk about that game or what's going on during the world. The best way I put it, I could put it, is Michael Strahan like he is, Literally, I just want to look at him and follow everything that he did. And he got involved a little bit of into this world while he was playing. But I'm probably going to focus a little bit more when I'm. When I'm done playing. Yeah. You only get this. You know, I'm in year eight right now. It's even crazy to say that. And whether it's another eight years or another two years, you never know. So I'm going to try to capitalize on this as much as I can, stay focused on this as much as I can, and opportunities come here and there. I'll take it. But when I'm done being more so of, like, I want to have the. The goofball side and be able to be on stuff like this and show my personality. Then I also want to talk about stuff that's going on in the world and. And. And just really have a mixture of both.
[106:58]
Hank
Yeah. All right.
[106:59]
Big Cat
Podcast P. He got himself in one of those situations here in Philly. He was like, I'm gonna stop the podcast right now because things aren't going so well. But then the numbers came out. He was better at basketball while he was podcasting. Maybe you could be a better running back if you were podcasting.
[107:13]
Stephen Che
I don't think the podcast said anything to do with that.
[107:16]
Big Cat
You don't think so? It's a. I. I disagree.
[107:19]
PFT Commenter
What we do is some people say is harder than playing in the NFL.
[107:22]
Stephen Che
I'm not saying it's easy.
[107:23]
Hank
Okay.
[107:24]
Stephen Che
I'm not saying. And I think it's. I don't think it's easy and I think it'll be harder playing and doing this at the same time.
[107:30]
Hank
Yeah.
[107:30]
Stephen Che
Reason why he probably.
[107:32]
PFT Commenter
That's why we don't play in the NFL, because we don't want to. We don't want to rob the podcast game.
[107:36]
Stephen Che
Yeah, I feel you.
[107:37]
Hank
Yeah.
[107:37]
Stephen Che
I think about it. Yeah.
[107:38]
Big Cat
Distraction. That'd be a distraction in our lives.
[107:40]
PFT Commenter
We actually were asked to be on the Madden cover. We said no.
[107:42]
Stephen Che
See, I think you guys got to be the first people to say no. Yeah, it makes sense. It took too long for me to get requested for it.
[107:51]
Hank
Yeah.
[107:51]
Stephen Che
And I do remember they're like we were tending to go somewhere else. So it was coming together.
[107:56]
Hank
Yeah.
[107:56]
Stephen Che
We could do.
[107:57]
PFT Commenter
I mean, listen, you make up quotes and you love part of my take. We can make up quotes and we're the MAD cover.
[108:02]
Hank
Why?
[108:03]
PFT Commenter
What does it matter? All right, Saquon, this has been awesome. I got one last question. Do a couple rapid fire. Roback question. R b.com promo code, take 20% off your first purchase. Q, zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com promo code take. All right, quick rap fire.
[108:17]
Stephen Che
That was great. Thank you.
[108:18]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah, that's.
[108:18]
PFT Commenter
That's podcast.
[108:19]
Big Cat
That's harder than jumping over somebody back.
[108:21]
Hank
Yeah.
[108:21]
PFT Commenter
I could close my eyes and do that. I felt the read coming. I saw it out of the corner of my eye, Let it happen.
[108:27]
Stephen Che
It took over.
[108:27]
PFT Commenter
All right, rapid fire. Do you still squat?
[108:31]
Stephen Che
I do still.
[108:31]
Hank
What.
[108:32]
Stephen Che
What's your max right now? I don't know. But I mean, if I had to go to competition, I'd probably do 650. 700.
[108:38]
PFT Commenter
Is that the.
[108:39]
Hank
What.
[108:39]
PFT Commenter
What's your absolute max that you've ever done?
[108:41]
Stephen Che
Probably 700.
[108:43]
PFT Commenter
That's crazy.
[108:43]
Stephen Che
But I think, like, I'm better like a one rep max guy. So, like, especially when they do the competition, you can wrap your knees and stuff. If I'm going against somebody, It'll probably hire 700.
[108:53]
PFT Commenter
That's insane. Favorite game you played in at Penn State?
[109:00]
Stephen Che
Penn State vs. Michigan wideout 2017, my junior year.
[109:04]
Hank
Okay.
[109:05]
PFT Commenter
I thought you were going to maybe say the Iowa game because that was a crazy game.
[109:07]
Stephen Che
It was a great game. But like the environment, even though Iowa environment is great, it has nothing on a whiteout game. And like I scored a touchdown. I think I scored like on the second, third play. And I remember, like I did my little thing and I went to the end Zone. And I just looked up and all you see is like a sea of white and everyone yelling it. Almost like words can't describe, like how my body felt in that moment. It was. It was insane.
[109:32]
Hank
Yeah, the whiteout.
[109:33]
PFT Commenter
They got it. They got to do it for bigger games. Last year, I think it was like Minnesota at noon.
[109:36]
Hank
Yeah.
[109:37]
PFT Commenter
Got to Oregon this year.
[109:38]
Hank
Yeah.
[109:39]
Big Cat
Yeah, Oregon.
[109:39]
PFT Commenter
All right, last one. Will you guarantee over 1,005 yards this year?
[109:44]
Stephen Che
Well, I never guaranteed anything. I feel like I can guarantee that God keeps me healthy. That over will get smashed.
[109:54]
Hank
Okay.
[109:54]
Big Cat
You got to get that. The 1005. The 1.005k club.
[109:58]
Hank
Yeah.
[109:59]
PFT Commenter
Everyone talks about it.
[110:00]
Stephen Che
I like that. That's like the. Now that's like the new dress holder, I guess, Right?
[110:03]
Hank
Yeah.
[110:04]
Big Cat
Or it's like. Yeah. Getting 500 home runs in the hall of Fame. In baseball, you get 1.005k, then that's a great season.
[110:10]
Hank
Yeah.
[110:11]
Stephen Che
Because on that topic, I am a big believer. I was talking about you the other day. I think to get in the hall of Fame for NFL, they need to have something like that. It should be like a set requirement, a threshold. Yep. Or what you need for certain positions to get into the hospital.
[110:23]
PFT Commenter
Maybe it's 1005. Well, actually, we shouldn't do that for you because you've only done it twice in your entire career, which is crazy.
[110:29]
Stephen Che
Yeah, it's kind of.
[110:30]
PFT Commenter
You kind of stink when you put it in that respect.
[110:32]
Stephen Che
Bad ball. Just a bad player all around.
[110:34]
Hank
Oh. All right.
[110:35]
PFT Commenter
Well, Saquon, congrats on Madden. We're excited to play the game and best of luck this year.
[110:39]
Stephen Che
Thank you, guys. Appreciate you.
[110:43]
Big Cat
Saquon Barkley was brought to you by Mountain Dew. Our great friends at Mountain Dew. By the way, just thought of another Mount Rushmore for Q Quads. Saquon Squad, £700 this summer. If you're working out, if you're hanging out outside, if you're going to the lake, going to the beach, going for a hike, reach for a Mountain Dew, the most refreshing drink in the world.

If you're going fishing, you're going to want to bring that Mountain Dew. We know we can speak from personal experience on that. Nothing goes better with summertime and hanging with your friends than the refreshing, citrusy kick of Mountain Dew. And the new cans are awesome. They're retro.

PFT Commenter
Okay. We now welcome on two very special guests. Very, very special guests. Super bowl champs. It is grit Week, presented by. Hey, dude. It is Lane Johnson. Cam Juergens. Boys, thank you for joining us. First question of grit week. Every single interview, what does the word grit mean to you?
[112:56]
Saquon Barkley
Some of the work for toughness.
[112:58]
Hank
Okay.
[112:59]
Saquon Barkley
Perseverance.
[113:00]
PFT Commenter
Perseverance, Cam.
[113:01]
I
Just dealing with it. Whatever you got. Terrible hot day yesterday. Just losing so many pounds. Want to get home to a nice ac? Get home. AC broke. Oh, that was a gritty night.
[113:15]
PFT Commenter
That's great.
[113:16]
Big Cat
You do great sweat.
[113:18]
Saquon Barkley
You get playing.
[113:19]
PFT Commenter
Wait, how many complain?
[113:20]
Big Cat
Oh, yeah, that's actually.
[113:21]
PFT Commenter
It is part of grit.
[113:23]
Hank
Hard.
[113:23]
Big Cat
The more grit you have. Sometimes you just have to complain your way through it. But you still do it, right?
[113:28]
Hank
Yeah, you do it.
[113:29]
Big Cat
You do it.
[113:29]
Hank
But you.
[113:29]
Big Cat
You can be pissed off about it.
[113:31]
PFT Commenter
Wait, how many pounds you lose in a training camp practice?
[113:35]
I
11 yesterday.
[113:36]
PFT Commenter
Holy.
[113:36]
Saquon Barkley
Same.
[113:37]
PFT Commenter
That's a good diet.
[113:38]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah.
[113:39]
Big Cat
How quickly do you put that back on?
[113:41]
Saquon Barkley
Sometimes you don't. No, I mean, you just have to be conscious. Like, you have to get a lot of salt in. So just.
[113:48]
I
Yeah, get an iv. You can get in real quick.
[113:51]
Hank
Yeah, yeah.
[113:52]
Big Cat
How's the back feeling?
[113:53]
Hank
Good. Good.
[113:54]
PFT Commenter
I would say that was grit.
[113:56]
Hank
Yeah.
[113:56]
PFT Commenter
So the NFC championship game, you have to. You don't start, you go in second half. How. On a scale of 1 to 10, how. How bad was the pain when you're. When you're going back into the game.
[114:07]
I
It was high, but, like, at that point, you're just thinking about being gritty and not worrying about pain and just be like, all right, this is a mental thing, not a physical thing. You know, pain is more mental than physical. At a point, you know, the pain subsides and you just don't feel it.
[114:24]
Hank
Yeah.
[114:24]
I
And then it's just numb and you're like, this is better. Or worse.
[114:29]
PFT Commenter
Probably better.
[114:29]
Big Cat
That week leading up to the game.
[114:31]
Saquon Barkley
She was on a Bosu ball practice. Yeah, same over there. Just bobbing up and down.
[114:37]
PFT Commenter
Wait, when he was going back in, though, from your perspective, Lane, were you. Was there. Did you have a conversation with him? Like, hey, like, are you. Are you good? Like, is this. Because, you know, he's like, very, very injured, but. But Landon gets injured, so do you guys have a conversation as, like, a offensive line before he comes back in?
[114:53]
Hank
Yeah.
[114:53]
Saquon Barkley
I mean, it's like, if it's a nerve thing, like a disc, you know, hitting a nerve, and you can't do it, which is one thing, and then it's another one where it's a pain that's tolerable. So, you know, he's played a lot of football, so I kind of leave it up to him. If he's good to go, we're going to rock with him. If he's not, we're still going to rock with him and, you know, get prepared for when he returns.
[115:11]
Hank
Yeah.
[115:12]
Big Cat
So that week leading up to, did you just think, like, there's no chance I can go?
[115:16]
I
I mean, every single day I'm just like, all right, yeah, I'm gonna try to do my best to get ready and play. And, yeah, every day it's just like, wake up. I don't know about this. And then you just kind of work through it.
[115:27]
Saquon Barkley
It's a lot of self doubt.
[115:28]
PFT Commenter
Wait, what was the actual injury? Was it a nerve thing?
[115:31]
I
Yeah, I just had a, you know, a herniated disc and then it.
[115:34]
Hank
Yeah.
[115:35]
I
Broke off. Got wrapped around my nerves. So it's just messing up my leg.
[115:39]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, I've had one of those. And I just laid on the floor for two days.
[115:43]
Saquon Barkley
Kind of goes down your leg?
[115:44]
Hank
Yeah.
[115:44]
Saquon Barkley
And I told my wife a little.
[115:45]
PFT Commenter
Bit, I was like, just shoot me. If I had a gun, shoot me. You played in the NFC Championship game? I barely podcasted.
[115:52]
Big Cat
Yeah, Yeah, I had one.
[115:53]
PFT Commenter
I did. They came over to my house and we podcast. I was just laying on the ground.
[115:57]
Big Cat
I've had One for the last, like month or so. I canceled a vacation, which is. I think that's kind of gritty, right? Being like, I don't need to take this time off. I'm gonna just stay here and work on my body. And then I tried to play golf through it, and that was even too much. I can't imagine, like, actually having to run and move around and shove people with it.
[116:13]
I
I think it'd be gritty going on vacation and just complaining and hating. Vacation.
[116:17]
Hank
Yeah.
[116:17]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it's great.
[116:18]
Hank
Ye.
[116:19]
Big Cat
The worst vacation of all time. That is actually very gritty thing to do.
[116:22]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[116:23]
Big Cat
But yeah, good to see that you're healthy, that you're feeling good. How's camp been?
[116:27]
Saquon Barkley
It's been good. Entertaining, hot. Yesterday was pretty hot. The first few days was actually nice, like condition test. And then yesterday was kind of wake up call outside.
[116:35]
PFT Commenter
So how is it different? Obviously, Cam, this is the first time you're coming to a camp after winning a Super Bowl. Lane your second time. Is it a different vibe being champions and like having to kind of. You have to like start. Start fresh, you know? And it's like what we did last year doesn't matter for this year. Is it hard to get over that.
[116:52]
Saquon Barkley
Or people treat you different for what you accomplish? But I think when you look at why you accomplish what you accomplished is because of your routine and structure. So if all this praise or whatever you're getting is causing you to change those habits and yeah, probably things are going to be different in the. The prom, the next year, you know?
[117:07]
Hank
Yeah.
[117:07]
Big Cat
I feel like you guys have a line coach that won't let you get too high off that, right?
[117:12]
Hank
No.
[117:12]
Saquon Barkley
I don't know. I don't know what gets him. I mean, maybe him fishing on a jet Ski on his off day gets him happy. Other than that, he's pretty.
[117:18]
PFT Commenter
He's pretty gritty.
[117:19]
I
Yeah, it's just, you know, when you get back into camp, it's just. It's like locking yourself in a room and just getting football non stop 24 7. You're just so focused on what day it is today, you know, you don't know what yesterday or tomorrow is.
[117:32]
Saquon Barkley
You're just like, all right, long day doing today. Long day.
[117:35]
Big Cat
Four days after you guys talking about it, I can just imagine going home to no air conditioning is like, that's the worst into that day podcast, right?
[117:41]
Hank
Yeah.
[117:42]
Big Cat
Just like take a cold shower and.
[117:44]
I
It'S just, you know, you're learning everything you're gonna need for the whole year all wrapped up in one month of just, like, brutal, you know, hellish camp. You know, our fall camp, it's like.
[117:54]
Saquon Barkley
It'S a lot of plays, too. So, you know, you're not necessarily going to have all these plays in per week. It changes, but install everything all at once. And so, yeah, it's a lot all at one time.
[118:04]
I
I would love to see if, like, the. The working man and everybody out there in the real world, just, like, everybody had a fall camp, you know, a month, you know?
[118:15]
Hank
Yeah. Okay.
[118:16]
PFT Commenter
Most works, getting done, podcasting, Shape. Did you guys follow along when they were voting on the Tush Push? Were you, like, actually tuned in or just like, hey, whatever happens?
[118:25]
Saquon Barkley
Well, I knew that there was a deadline for the vote, and I was. Yeah, I was. I was waiting. I was like, it's. It's a goner.
[118:30]
I
But, no, I wasn't tuned in. I feel like they voted on it, like, three times. It's like, every month, they're like. They're voting on it again.
[118:37]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it also. I think the vote, like, went down where it was. The majority of teams that voted to ban it were your opponents this year, so they're, like, trying to basically get it out because they know they have to play you guys.
[118:47]
Saquon Barkley
Hey, I wanted Tom Brady, that one that played a Gronkowski out, but, hey, they kept doing it.
[118:51]
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
[118:52]
Big Cat
Was that weird hearing hearing the owner describe maybe the suckiest play for you guys as being like, a wet dream?
[118:58]
Saquon Barkley
It was interesting.
[119:00]
PFT Commenter
That was hilarious. That was hilarious.
[119:02]
I
I gave him a fist bump next time.
[119:03]
Saquon Barkley
I.
[119:03]
I
So that was. That was funny.
[119:05]
Big Cat
Yeah, because it's an awesome play, but I. For the offensive line, it's probably not the most fun play to do.
[119:10]
I
No, no. And, like, the worst part is when you're running the. The play and it's like, fourth down or third down or whatever, and you run it, and then you just get piled on top, and you're just down there. You don't know what's going on, and all of a sudden, you're getting yelled at to get up out of the pile.
[119:26]
Stephen Che
It's like, hey, get up, get up.
[119:28]
I
We got to run another play. I'm like, oh, so we got the first down or like, what?
[119:31]
Saquon Barkley
Like, kind of don't know for, like, seems like two minutes.
[119:33]
I
What's going on?
[119:34]
Saquon Barkley
Ref's moving bodies out. I don't know what ball he moved.
[119:37]
Big Cat
He had Frankie Luvu jumping on your back a couple times.
[119:40]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[119:41]
PFT Commenter
That wasn't fun.
[119:42]
Big Cat
I like that strategy.
[119:43]
Saquon Barkley
They're in a bad spot because they come off late and late to the party. You know, it's not good, but they're trying to time it so it's right. So the whole issue.
[119:53]
Big Cat
Cam, I. I was reading a story about when you got drafted. How did you find out that you got drafted?
[119:59]
I
I got a call, but, like, it was during the draft day. There was, like, a severe storm that just rolled in in Nebraska. We're in tornado Alley. You know, Lane knows about that from Oklahoma, and you're just like, tornado comes or whatever.
[120:11]
PFT Commenter
And it was during drift, dude.
[120:13]
Hank
Yeah.
[120:14]
I
The TV kept going out. We kept going from upstairs to downstairs, like, figuring out what TV's going on. We're trying to get on our phone, like, oh, it was chaotic. And I finally got a call, and, like, our TV was way off, and I finally got a call and got drafted. I was fired up. You guys are trying to get me to get on a zoom call with all the media, and I'm like, guys.
[120:35]
Stephen Che
I. I got nothing out here.
[120:36]
I
I can't. I can't do no interviews right now.
[120:38]
Big Cat
I mean, being drafted, I'm in the.
[120:40]
I
Basement about to go crawl under freaking pool table.
[120:43]
Big Cat
Yeah, it's a great origin story, though. Like, I got drafted during a tornado. It's like, yeah, that. That's a hit of a draft. How he knew it instantly. He's like, yep, that guy's gonna be.
[120:51]
Saquon Barkley
It feels like that anyway. The whole process does. You don't know where it's swept away.
[120:54]
I
Tornado all over again.
[120:56]
Hank
Yeah, I got.
[120:57]
PFT Commenter
I got a question about Nebraska. Scott Frost. I thought that was going to work.
[121:02]
I
I think everybody thought it was going to work.
[121:04]
PFT Commenter
That really wasn't a fairy tale, more of a statement. But, yeah, I really thought it was going to work. That was your. So he was. Was his second year through his fifth year, you were there.
[121:13]
Hank
I.
[121:13]
PFT Commenter
It felt like you guys were about to turn the corner a bunch of times, and it just never happened.
[121:18]
I
Yeah. You know, I feel like every game, we just found ways to lose games.
[121:22]
Hank
Yeah.
[121:23]
I
You know, we had good players and we played really well, but then it's just like, we just found ways to lose it, and we were really good at that. You know, I never made a bowl game in college, and then I get to the league and three years in we Super Bowls.
[121:36]
Hank
Yeah. Were you.
[121:36]
PFT Commenter
Were you part of the team that there was that one year where you guys lost by, like, three points every single game?
[121:41]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[121:41]
I
It was like seven or eight losses within, like.
[121:44]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it was insane. It was like. It was like, nebraska's looking good today.
[121:48]
Hank
Yeah.
[121:49]
PFT Commenter
And then the fourth quarter would come all around and something insane would happen. You're like, well, there's the game.
[121:53]
Saquon Barkley
Not all losses are the same.
[121:54]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[121:55]
Big Cat
Do you think maybe Raiola should start dressing up like Jalen Hurts instead?
[122:00]
Hank
Yeah.
[122:01]
I
I mean, do something, you know, win, I guess.
[122:03]
Hank
Yeah.
[122:03]
I
They're both winners.
[122:05]
Hank
Yeah.
[122:07]
I
All we need to do is win. And, you know, they made the first bowl game in.
[122:10]
Hank
Yeah.
[122:10]
I
Several years, so I was happy to see that. So this year, playoffs are bust.
[122:15]
Big Cat
So your teammate, Ty Johnson, he's a. He's a Nebraska guy, too, right? Does he actually own a camel? Is that true?
[122:22]
I
I think it is. I mean, he went to Nebraska, but he's an Arizona guy.
[122:25]
Saquon Barkley
And there's not camels in either. But go on.
[122:29]
I
Yeah, I don't know.
[122:31]
PFT Commenter
I've really been out in Arizona.
[122:33]
I
They probably got camels.
[122:34]
Saquon Barkley
They got Camelback Mountain out there. I know that because I trained out there.
[122:38]
I
We got camels, we got cattle.
[122:40]
Hank
Yeah.
[122:41]
I
I don't know.
[122:41]
Saquon Barkley
Smoking camels.
[122:44]
PFT Commenter
I always wonder. This the super bowl, obviously. Lane, we talked to you that week right before. I think we saw you at the hotel. Cam, what point in the super bowl victory were you like, this is it. It's over.
[122:54]
Saquon Barkley
Because it was Devonte.
[122:56]
PFT Commenter
So what was that score? Was that 34?
[122:59]
Saquon Barkley
I think it was that touchdown at Devonte where it went 34 to whatever, six.
[123:02]
Hank
Yeah.
[123:03]
PFT Commenter
And then you're like, oh, that's a.
[123:04]
Saquon Barkley
Little bit more points than the Patriots or the Falcons had that year.
[123:07]
PFT Commenter
Maybe they can't.
[123:07]
Hank
Yeah, yeah.
[123:08]
Saquon Barkley
I did the math and I was.
[123:09]
PFT Commenter
Like, they can't come back. Because, I mean, like, the Super Bowls, you know, when we were growing up in the 90s, there were always blowouts. But the last, you know, 20 years have been really competitive. And then you have a game like that, it feels like the whole second half, you guys almost are like, get to party. Because you're like, we're in the super bowl and it's a lot over.
[123:24]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah. A lot different than the other ones.
[123:26]
PFT Commenter
We were in, for sure.
[123:27]
Hank
Yeah.
[123:27]
PFT Commenter
And shout out Kenny for throwing a pass, because I had that bet. Over one and a half or over two and a half players. Shout out to attempts.
[123:35]
Hank
Yeah.
[123:35]
PFT Commenter
That was huge. That was huge. Shout out, Kenny. Yeah.
[123:38]
Hank
That is.
[123:39]
Saquon Barkley
It's overlooked.
[123:40]
PFT Commenter
That was a big pass. I. I did not think you guys were going to pass in that situation. You guys. Were either of you in the game at that point?
[123:47]
Saquon Barkley
I don't think I was.
[123:48]
Hank
No.
[123:48]
PFT Commenter
That's got to be so awesome. It should be on the sideline for, like, just being, like, let this quarter take forever because we just celebrate. Celebrate.
[123:56]
Hank
Yeah.
[123:57]
Saquon Barkley
I mean, it was. Seems like every game. I mean, the last Super Bowls are just, you know, back and forth, neck and neck, and. Yeah, we're not used to being those situations, I guess, but it was cool.
[124:09]
Hank
Yeah.
[124:09]
PFT Commenter
Do you think Jalen enjoyed the Super Bowl? Because I feel like a lot of his quotes, he's already. He's going heavy on turning the page. Do you think he actually enjoyed winning the Super Bowl?
[124:18]
Hank
I don't know.
[124:18]
Saquon Barkley
So I didn't see him put on his ring yet, so.
[124:21]
PFT Commenter
Those rings are sick.
[124:22]
Hank
Enjoyed it? Yeah.
[124:23]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah.
[124:23]
PFT Commenter
Did you guys hit the button for the. For the eagle flag to come or.
[124:26]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah, I'm feeling really good. I'll press the button.
[124:29]
Hank
Yes.
[124:29]
Big Cat
Yeah. Does it make it. Does it make your old super bowl feel, like, less important? Because the ring is so much bigger on this new one?
[124:36]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah, the feelings got hurt that night.
[124:38]
Big Cat
You guys put hydraulics in the new ring. It's crazy.
[124:40]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah. A lot bigger. Just. Yeah, they. It was huge.
[124:44]
Big Cat
So after you guys win, what was it like? Did you celebrate in New Orleans?
[124:47]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[124:48]
I
There's a casino right across the street.
[124:50]
Hank
Yeah.
[124:51]
I
And all week we couldn't go because you're not supposed to go to casinos.
[124:54]
Saquon Barkley
What'd you do after the casino?
[124:56]
I
But after the game, season's over, we can go to the casino. Obviously, most of the team was over there, so we all celebrated together.
[125:03]
Saquon Barkley
Seeing Big X, the Plug, Jeff Ross, just a lot of. A lot of different moving parts at that celebration. I was just, well, he's here.
[125:09]
PFT Commenter
He's here.
[125:10]
Saquon Barkley
So that was. That was pretty cool.
[125:11]
Big Cat
Did you guys watch the. The halftime show?
[125:14]
Hank
No.
[125:14]
Saquon Barkley
No.
[125:14]
Big Cat
You didn't go back and watch it? That was. It was a wild halftime show.
[125:19]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah, it was wild.
[125:20]
Big Cat
Yeah. I mean, who was it a couple years ago? Was it the kicker for the Bengals? That.
[125:24]
Hank
Yeah.
[125:25]
Big Cat
Yeah, Bengalson. He went out at halftime and watched. I imagine that, like, kickers can probably get away with doing something like that, but at the same time, you probably like everybody to be in the locker, like, offense.
[125:38]
Saquon Barkley
Like, we usually have, like, our. You know, our board meeting, like, right before we go out. So everybody's like. They're in their chair, so somebody's missing. Like, where the hell is he at?
[125:45]
Big Cat
Did you guys make any adjustments, or was it just like, hey, you guys are kicking ass. Just continue to beat the.
[125:50]
Hank
Out of them?
[125:51]
Saquon Barkley
I mean, it wasn't. Like I said, it wasn't. That moment didn't sink into, like, The. The Devonte catch. But it was really full go till then. Just because losing that thing the first time to him by three, whatever, that. That emotion was stronger than winning the thing like we did. I mean, you'll never forget that loss like that. It was terrible.
[126:09]
Hank
Yeah.
[126:09]
Big Cat
Better turf this time.
[126:11]
Hank
Yeah.
[126:11]
Saquon Barkley
I mean, the actual turf. Yeah, no, it was. Was it grass? I can't remember. Was it turf?
[126:15]
PFT Commenter
No, it's turf.
[126:16]
Hank
Turf. Yeah.
[126:17]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, yeah. They couldn't mess with it.
[126:19]
Hank
What.
[126:20]
PFT Commenter
What week this season do you think Nick Sirianni would be on the hot seat?
[126:24]
I
You never know with this fan base.
[126:25]
Hank
Yeah.
[126:26]
PFT Commenter
Max is probably thinking like week four or five, you start two and two, he's gonna be like, gotta fire the guy.
[126:32]
Big Cat
Slow first quarter.
[126:32]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah, usually it's pretty hot.
[126:34]
Hank
Like.
[126:34]
Saquon Barkley
Like it's. The takes are like that till you get to November and it kind of dies down.
[126:38]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[126:39]
I
And that happened last year and that's when, you know, we took off.
[126:42]
Hank
Yeah.
[126:43]
PFT Commenter
You guys. It is kind of crazy when you look back, because you guys were, what, two and two to start the season? Kind of some questions lingering from the previous year and. Was it that game in New Orleans when you. When the big play at the end of the game. Who, Dallas?
[126:56]
Hank
God, yeah.
[126:57]
PFT Commenter
And it feels like from that point on, you guys were just dominating team.
[127:00]
I
Teams.
[127:00]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[127:01]
PFT Commenter
Could you feel that? You're like everything.
[127:02]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah, it just takes a little bit to, like, find, you know, a few weeks you get to do different. Different things. Offense, lead, and you see kind of what clicks and kind of what a rhythm should be. And then. Yeah, at that point it started. Started becoming consistent.
[127:14]
PFT Commenter
Do you, Lane, do you get veteran days off during camp?
[127:17]
Saquon Barkley
I haven't yet.
[127:18]
PFT Commenter
Okay. Will you get them?
[127:19]
Hank
Hopefully.
[127:20]
PFT Commenter
Do the other guys, Cam, you can just pretend he's not here. Is he a. For taking those days off?
[127:26]
I
No.
[127:26]
Hank
Okay.
[127:27]
PFT Commenter
But.
[127:27]
Hank
But you.
[127:28]
PFT Commenter
You definitely look at a little side eye.
[127:29]
Saquon Barkley
I feel if I take those days off, I'll, you know, get some bad looks. It's like being at the line at Disney World. You got the fast pass and I waited five hours here today.
[127:38]
Hank
Yeah, exactly.
[127:39]
Saquon Barkley
So, yeah, it's a weird feeling in general.
[127:41]
Big Cat
You've probably earned it, but the mentality that got you to place that earns it is like, I don't want to take anything.
[127:46]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah. But it's just the fact, you know, would I rather not practice and take all these looks from all my teammates?
[127:51]
Hank
Yeah. What is it there? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[127:53]
Big Cat
Maybe.
[127:53]
Hank
Maybe.
[127:53]
Big Cat
You're gone. The line plays really good. Jalen puts up Great stats in practice. I know you're a big fan of keeping stats during training camp and evaluating players that way.
[128:02]
I
Yeah, I think it's. I think it's hilarious. People coming out like stats like, what? We're just practicing to get better.
[128:09]
Hank
Yeah.
[128:10]
PFT Commenter
You don't know.
[128:10]
Saquon Barkley
It's a slow way.
[128:11]
I
Doing an interception.
[128:12]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
[128:14]
I
They don't know that.
[128:15]
Saquon Barkley
Maybe they're just trying to draw attention to that away from the Epstein with the passes.
[128:19]
PFT Commenter
He was 7 for 11.
[128:20]
Saquon Barkley
This training camp. They're not focused on the Epstein stuff.
[128:25]
PFT Commenter
I did have a moment the other day where like, I'm starting to maybe at 40 years old, getting mature because I saw like, it was like, bears interception for or don't convert 4th and 15 in training camp. And I was like, fuck. I was like, wait a second, why am I upset? But you do. You can't.
[128:41]
Big Cat
You do.
[128:41]
PFT Commenter
There's nothing to talk about right now. So it's like the offense is humming or the defense is dominating.
[128:46]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah. But yeah, the anticipation's building and hey, it's just. You gotta. It's got to get out somehow.
[128:51]
Hank
Yeah.
[128:51]
Saquon Barkley
Talk about it.
[128:52]
Big Cat
What was it last summer? Was it that Jalen Hurts was throwing too many interceptions or that he wasn't throwing enough?
[128:56]
Saquon Barkley
It was an interception for like so many days.
[128:58]
I
There's a non interception streak.
[129:00]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, that was a problem. That was a big problem. Yeah, your guy taking risks.
[129:06]
Big Cat
Drive the ball downfield.
[129:07]
Saquon Barkley
Too conservative.
[129:08]
I
That's why we hit the interception drill early.
[129:10]
Hank
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
[129:13]
PFT Commenter
So, Cam, when you, before you moved to center, you were playing next to Lane. What was it like playing next to like a Hall of Famer and being like, this guy is just so good at everything and like, were you just confident that no matter what, he's got you every single time?
[129:28]
Saquon Barkley
We're probably asking, what's the play about 80% of the time.
[129:30]
I
Yeah, yeah. Hear the play, hear the call. And then Lane's like, what do we got?
[129:36]
Saquon Barkley
It's usually, what's the snap count?
[129:38]
I
But it was great because we, you know, when you're playing next to somebody for so long, you just formulate your own language with each other. So we could just say a lot with very little words. Like, I could.
[129:47]
Saquon Barkley
You'd be like, what?
[129:48]
I
And I'll be like, yeah.
[129:52]
Saquon Barkley
It'S kind of.
[129:53]
Big Cat
Yeah, I saw that. Obviously you got the 99 in the Madden rating.
[129:57]
Hank
Congrats.
[129:58]
Big Cat
What an honor that is. But they only had you as a 93 on pass block finesse. What's up with that?
[130:04]
Saquon Barkley
Pass block finesse?
[130:05]
Big Cat
I guess my first question is, what is pass block finesse?
[130:07]
Saquon Barkley
I know there's finesse in the run game. I don't know. I guess. I don't know. I don't know.
[130:13]
I
What, like, looking good.
[130:14]
Hank
Yeah.
[130:14]
Saquon Barkley
Well, finesse is like, means you're getting the job done, but in like a. Yeah.
[130:21]
Hank
Yeah.
[130:21]
Saquon Barkley
So I've. I've had pussy moments where I've got bull rush. So maybe it's from that. I don't know.
[130:27]
Big Cat
Do you think about those pussy moments?
[130:28]
Saquon Barkley
Yes. I mean, that's all coach wants to talk about. He don't. You know, they don't talk about the good stuff. It's only. I saw you stumble there in your. Your battle there.
[130:36]
PFT Commenter
Let's talk about it.
[130:37]
Big Cat
Is there one that, like, sticks out to you from your career that you. You find yourself just. No matter the accolades that get put on you, the Super Bowls, you win. You're like that guy. Really me, that one time.
[130:46]
Saquon Barkley
Kerrigan had some, like, my first couple years in league. There was. I know there's a strip sack on Sanchez. One of those years. When I was 15, I was like this here. And now I still get to see him on the sidelines.
[130:57]
Hank
Yeah.
[130:58]
Saquon Barkley
Washington coaching.
[130:59]
PFT Commenter
So.
[130:59]
Hank
Yeah.
[130:59]
Saquon Barkley
I can't get this guy. Can't leave the damn.
[131:01]
Hank
Yeah.
[131:01]
Saquon Barkley
Field. He's there every time you know, we play him.
[131:03]
Hank
Yeah, Cam.
[131:04]
Saquon Barkley
But it definitely.
[131:06]
Hank
Yeah, Cam.
[131:07]
PFT Commenter
Who's the hardest guy do you had to block last year?
[131:11]
I
Dexter Lawrence.
[131:12]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[131:13]
PFT Commenter
What is it about him? Just the size.
[131:15]
I
I mean, size, strength, you know, what's coming.
[131:18]
Saquon Barkley
And he still can't.
[131:19]
I
He's just. He plays with such good leverage, you know, he's just so wide.
[131:23]
Saquon Barkley
SWAT team door. Just hitting you. That's what it feels like. Just.
[131:27]
Hank
Yeah.
[131:27]
Saquon Barkley
Big ass over and over.
[131:29]
Big Cat
Who's got the best hands?
[131:31]
I
Oh, what do you mean?
[131:33]
Big Cat
No, no. The best hands, like on a defensive line that you have to go up against.
[131:37]
I
Oh, I mean, you. I mean, when Fletch was here, Fletch had some strong hands.
[131:41]
Hank
Yeah.
[131:42]
PFT Commenter
Can you feel it, like, the difference between.
[131:44]
Hank
Yeah.
[131:45]
I
There's game strength and there's weight room strength. And there's a difference.
[131:48]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[131:49]
Saquon Barkley
There's a bill. Yeah. Some guys are stronger movements without able to express it, like on the football field. And there's. Some guys aren't very strong weight room, but they can, you know, farm strong. So it's. You could see it all, really.
[131:58]
Big Cat
You guys are farm strong, right? Are you guys city boys?
[132:01]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah, I got a little bit of city slicker strength than me.
[132:03]
Big Cat
Yeah, you're you're. You were doing pass block sets against bulls.
[132:07]
Hank
Yeah.
[132:08]
Big Cat
Yeah, that was a great video.
[132:11]
I
My dad just put me out there.
[132:12]
Big Cat
That was, that was such a funny video.
[132:13]
I
That's how I learned.
[132:14]
Big Cat
And then, and then people are like, yeah, this is what he does. This is how he trains. And like, you're Rocky going up to like Siberia. Yeah, no, that, that was an all time funny video because I think I feel like the bull knew that, that he was doing to pass that.
[132:25]
I
Yeah, he was a little skittish, a little scared.
[132:28]
Hank
Yeah.
[132:29]
I
We gotta get some more bowls.
[132:31]
Hank
Yeah. How's.
[132:32]
PFT Commenter
How's the jerky business going?
[132:33]
I
It's going good. Yeah, it's going good. You know, got some flavors. Five flavors. I honestly, it's my favorite jerky in the world. I love it and it's something I enjoy doing. You know, I grew up with my dad going deer hunting, making deer jerky and all sorts of that. So now to have a jerky company, pretty cool. Pretty gritty.
[132:53]
Hank
Yeah.
[132:53]
I
And so, yeah, just trying to sell some. We got some good stuff in the works. We're, we're excited for the season.
[132:58]
Hank
Yeah.
[132:58]
Big Cat
What flavors are we cooking with now?
[133:00]
I
My favorite is mango habanero. Cracked pepper is really good. And then you got your original, your teriyaki, and we got a hot honey.
[133:08]
PFT Commenter
Is he. Are you giving it free to the rest of the guys?
[133:12]
I
We don't have a ton in stock right now. Right. When you put. Get it in there, it just gets eaten right away.
[133:19]
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
[133:20]
Saquon Barkley
Especially now with all the numbers. We got a lot of guys in the room, so.
[133:23]
I
Yeah, but really you get the rookies in there and rookies are supposed to supply the snacks. So I'm going to start having the rookies buy my jerky for the room.
[133:31]
PFT Commenter
That's smart.
[133:32]
I
So I'm gonna tell them that today.
[133:34]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, that is smart. Back in your pocket. Is it, Is it tough at training camp? Like, obviously there's, you know, starts with 90 guys. You know, there's some guys that are not going to be there. Is it tough, like not getting too close or forming relationships with guys being like, you might get cut? Like, how does that work?
[133:50]
Saquon Barkley
We just, I don't know how it works. We just go to lunch and dinner and yeah. Like it's all normal. And then, and then one day there's some guys don't come to breakfast the next morning.
[133:59]
PFT Commenter
Really?
[133:59]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah.
[134:00]
I
Or you, like, you see somebody like lift and then they get done with the workout and all of a sudden you're getting ready for practice. He's. His lockers cleared out.
[134:08]
Saquon Barkley
See the grim reaper come around his clipboard and his glasses.
[134:11]
PFT Commenter
That's got to be weird. But that's probably smart to like, not think about it too much because thinking about it too much is.
[134:16]
Saquon Barkley
Get too attached to it.
[134:18]
Hank
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[134:20]
Big Cat
You guys just usually don't get a chance to say bye to each other, do they ever.
[134:24]
Saquon Barkley
It's not even just that. It's like, even like the super bowl. Teams, like so many teams get picked up a free agency.
[134:28]
Hank
Yeah.
[134:29]
Saquon Barkley
Some guys don't come back to the ring ceremony. Coaches disappear. It's just everybody disperses.
[134:33]
Hank
Yeah.
[134:34]
Saquon Barkley
It's so different.
[134:35]
Hank
Yeah.
[134:35]
I
I'll get cut and then get brought back and then cut and brought back. So, like, you can say goodbye, but you might see him next week, right?
[134:42]
PFT Commenter
You don't want double goodbye.
[134:43]
Hank
Yeah.
[134:43]
Big Cat
That's awkward as even like in a position you guys are at where your jobs are safe. Like if Howie says, hey, I want to talk to you, or you're like, oh, like, you never know.
[134:52]
Hank
Yeah.
[134:52]
PFT Commenter
You never know.
[134:53]
Big Cat
Do you ever talk to Howie?
[134:54]
Hank
Yeah.
[134:55]
Big Cat
What's he like? He seems like a sharp guy.
[134:57]
Saquon Barkley
Sharp.
[134:58]
Stephen Che
He.
[134:58]
Saquon Barkley
Man, he's pretty busy in the weight room now. I just saw him in there.
[135:01]
PFT Commenter
Oh, he's getting lifted. Okay, we'll have to.
[135:03]
Saquon Barkley
He's been.
[135:03]
I
Shoulders are looking big.
[135:04]
Saquon Barkley
Yeah, he's been. He's been pretty consistent past few years, so.
[135:07]
Hank
All right. Okay.
[135:07]
PFT Commenter
All right. This has been awesome, guys. I got one last question. Question. Roback. 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.
[135:20]
Hank
What did.
[135:20]
PFT Commenter
What did Saquon get you guys for present last year? And was it good?
[135:25]
I
I mean, which.
[135:26]
PFT Commenter
Let's pretend he's not in the room right now.
[135:27]
I
Multiple.
[135:28]
Hank
Yeah. What do you get?
[135:29]
PFT Commenter
You guys over for 2k?
[135:30]
I
2K. We got a Rolex.
[135:32]
PFT Commenter
Oh, nice.
[135:33]
Big Cat
Because you guys were just saying that. That he owes everything to you guys.
[135:36]
Hank
Yeah. Everything. Yeah.
[135:38]
Big Cat
Yeah.
[135:39]
PFT Commenter
So probably should have been more than a Rolex, right?
[135:42]
Saquon Barkley
We can't sell time good enough as it is.
[135:47]
PFT Commenter
All right, well, thank you, boys. This was awesome. Best of luck this year. Appreciate you guys stopping by.
[135:52]
Saquon Barkley
Yes, sir. Thanks for having us. And.
[135:54]
Hank
Yeah.
[135:55]
Big Cat
Happy Grit week.
[135:55]
Hank
Yeah.
[135:56]
PFT Commenter
Happy grit.
[135:56]
I
Feel honored.
[135:57]
Hank
Yeah.
[135:58]
PFT Commenter
Scott Frost still thought that would work. Okay. Great show, boys. Thanks to our friends at the Eagles for giving us a first class day. We brought Big Dom. How many can only run like.
[136:15]
Big Cat
Well, we bought two dozen Cannolis, I thought.
[136:18]
PFT Commenter
And then it was very funny.
[136:19]
Big Cat
And then we might have eaten a 12. No, we ate 10 of them.
[136:23]
Hank
No.
[136:23]
Big Cat
And then we didn't want to give them a second box with only two cannolis in it, because that's rude. Well, so then we had to eat the other two.
[136:29]
PFT Commenter
We're also missing part of the story where we went to. In South Philly. We went to a bakery at, like, 10 in the morning to get cannolis. And then, Max, you came back in the car, which was a great move because it was incredible. But it was, like, two full pizzas.
[136:46]
Cam Juergens
That was. That was mostly security Mike's doing.
[136:49]
PFT Commenter
Yeah, those were so good. We were just eating. We were just stuffing our face with cheesesteak pizza at, like, 10:30 in the morning and then washing it down with Big Dom's cannoli.
[136:59]
Big Cat
So I tried to take my wallet out to pay for all this stuff because the cheesesteak pizza was incredible. And Mike physically pushed me out of the way, and he's like, pft. You go, let me pay for this one. Please let me pay for this one. It's like, okay, Mike, you got it all.
[137:10]
PFT Commenter
You.
[137:10]
Big Cat
And then once Memes found out that Mike was paying for it, Memes then goes off and orders, like, another pizza. Three more pastries. He's like, yeah, put that on Mike's tab.
[137:19]
PFT Commenter
Really ran it up on his villain arc. I like it. I shout out all the memes heads out there.
[137:24]
Max
She said, try the hot honey.
[137:26]
Hank
Yeah.
[137:26]
Big Cat
And then I. I tried the hot.
[137:28]
PFT Commenter
Honey, by the way.
[137:29]
Big Cat
Later that day, Memes was like, let's get on this plane. Let's get on this plane, guys. Better day by memes.
[137:36]
PFT Commenter
I regret even talking about that story. That was a mistake. People were like, we don't care. Which I. I actually said at the.
[137:42]
Big Cat
Beginning, it's the least story of all time.
[137:45]
Lane Johnson
Probably should have happened off air.
[137:46]
Hank
Yeah.
[137:47]
PFT Commenter
We probably shouldn't have done that. I should.
[137:48]
Lane Johnson
That's the beauty of the show.
[137:49]
Hank
Yeah. That is.
[137:50]
Lane Johnson
We just hash it out.
[137:51]
PFT Commenter
Live memes. You mentioned hot honey. I was thinking about this. This weekend. When did hot honey become a thing? Because it's basically the best invention. Like, I know it's probably been around for a long time, but in terms of popular, like, you order a pizza from anywhere, and you can add hot honey.
[138:08]
Big Cat
I saw it in stores back in 2009, I think.
[138:11]
Hank
Okay.
[138:11]
Big Cat
And it's. It's so good.
[138:13]
PFT Commenter
But I'm saying, like, on, like, when you order pizza.
[138:16]
Hank
Yeah.
[138:17]
PFT Commenter
Not like you do the band or everyone else.
[138:19]
Max
I think it was like Kobe.
[138:20]
PFT Commenter
It's so good. What a great addition to everything hot, honey.
[138:26]
Hank
Love it.
[138:27]
Max
I remember seeing it during COVID in my local pizzeria, and then it would just explode.
[138:31]
Hank
Yeah. Okay.
[138:33]
PFT Commenter
Good show, boys. Should we do numbers?
[138:37]
Max
I'm going 60 for my dad's birthday.
[138:39]
PFT Commenter
Oh, you motherfucker.
[138:41]
Big Cat
I'll go three.
[138:41]
PFT Commenter
You're throwing that at us?
[138:43]
Max
It's his birthday. Happy birthday.
[138:44]
Cam Juergens
I'll go three.
[138:45]
PFT Commenter
No, you took three.
[138:47]
Lane Johnson
Take 22.
[138:48]
Cam Juergens
I'll take six.
[138:49]
Lane Johnson
Give me the twos.
[138:50]
PFT Commenter
21, 85, 44.
[138:55]
Max
Great pick, sack.
[138:58]
PFT Commenter
99 p. Wait. What do you have, Max?
[139:02]
Cam Juergens
Six.
[139:03]
Hank
Okay.
[139:07]
PFT Commenter
I'll take 15. If memes wins this, it should go to his dad. It shouldn't count for you. That's a fact. It shouldn't count for you. 14. 14.
