[PFT Commenter]

They're all the marbles. Some spread.

[Big Cat]

We start in New Orleans where Mahomes was trying to strike a chord, but this isn't the Niners. The Chiefs QB sneak defense held up well against the Bills last week, but the Eagles said they not like us as they opened the scoring with a Jalen Hurts so good touchdown. Cooper De Jean is not a brother, he's just a guy who plays like a coaches son. DEI has been undone as he returned an interception for a touchdown and the route was officially on. AJ Brown showed his inner excellence scoring late in the second after Padrake Mahomes suffered back to back unforced errors and it was 240 birds heading into half with Kendrick Lamar's chance to shine.

[PFT Commenter]

The second half picked up where the first half left off as Devonta Smith and Wesson scored on a quick strike out of a pistol proving Jalen Hurts has a secret son and his name is Patrick Mahomes because the Kansas City offense had an unexpected visit from Brandon meet the Grahams as the Eagles D line continued to bring the pressure extending the lead to 34 nothing. But was it too much time on the clock for Patrick Mahomes as Xavier Werther's original had the ball stick to his hands in the end zone putting the Chiefs on the board. No, it was not too much time for Patrick Mahomes unless you count garbage time as the entire city of Philadelphia graced up the polls to shove them up the Chief's ass and told them Saquon these nuts. The Philadelphia Eagles are Super bowl champions as they win 40 to 22 and.

[Big Cat]

That was the last final fastest two minutes of the season. It's brought to you by our friends at Chevy. The fastest two minutes is presented by our good friends at Chevy. Chevy has packed more capability in the Chevy Silverado Trail boss so that you can pack more fun into your weekend. Have yourself a Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the truck that says no to nothing. Tailgates, spontaneous camping trips, DIY projects. Bring it on. What about a cross country road trip? Silverado was the perfect ride for Last year's grit week out west. And recently they helped give us fullbacks the recognition they deserve with the low man award. Well, the Silverado Trail Boss is built like a fullback. We're talking 495 pounds of torque. Hold on to your sodas, Max. Plus the Trail Boss gives you an extra 2 inch lift. So maybe Hank can finally dunk. Silverado brings the grit, then pairs it with all the latest truck tech, inside and out. The result, a truck that can do it all. Then show up on Monday with a story to tell. So learn more about silverado trail boss, chevy.com, chevrolet together. Let's drive. Okay, that's a wrap on the 20245 season. And the Philadelphia Eagles are Super bowl champions. Absolute ass kicking of the Kansas City Chiefs stopping history from happening. Holy shit. They dominated that game.

[Max]

They beat the fuck out of the Chiefs. From the opening snap of the game, Mahomes looked very uncomfortable. And there was no blitzing happening either. No, it was like a 0% blitz rate. But the defensive line for the Eagles, a big cat. You know what? I know how to beat Mahomes.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Do you know how to beat him?

[Big Cat]

Yeah. You got to get pressure with four.

[Max]

You get pressed with four. That's how. It's heat of the game. It is. It's exactly what Todd Bowles did to Patrick Mahomes in that first super bowl where Mahomes lost.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Which is.

[Big Cat]

I said it during the game when I think it was like the first or second drive, I was like, this looks like Mahomes in the buck in the 2020 Super bowl because he had no time and he wasn't processing anything like he usually does.

[Max]

Yeah. So the Chiefs offense broke football temporarily when everybody. They weren't running like that. Deep cover too, and their exotic blitzes and. And when they had Tyreek Hill and all those fast guys, they were just lighting everyone up. And then Bowles was like, you know what? I blitz all the time. What if I just didn't blitz?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

And we just got pressure on him before roughed him up in the Super Bowl. That's exactly what Vic Fangio did.

[Big Cat]

He did it to a level. So they had. I think there were. I think the stats were 42 drop backs, 16 pressures, 6 sacks. They never blitzed. I think there was one blitz that was negated by a penalty in the first half. Specifically it was. Mahomes had a higher. There was a higher pressure rate by the Eagles front four than Mahomes completion percentage. Yeah, it was like 46% to 42%. Mahomes in the first half was six for 14, 33 yards, zero touchdowns, two interceptions in a pick six. And it was, it was just an all out ass kicking the Eagles. I mean Jalen Hurts, super bowl mvp, silence the haters, but it was top to bottom. Like even if you look at the box score, cause you'd be like, oh yeah, Mahomes, you know, that was garbage time. That was all garbage time.

[Max]

I scored him 16. What, 16 to 6 in the fourth quarter.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it was. When it was 34 to nothing at the end of the third quarter, Mahomes was 9 for 18 for 61 yards and two interceptions. And he added a fumble after that as well because that's how good the Eagles defense was. It was just a front to back ass kick.

[Max]

So Big Cat, let me ask you, embrace debate.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Is Patrick Mahomes washed, trash or ass?

[Big Cat]

Who. What do we. Hank, you want to chime in?

[Hank]

I think he's washed.

[Big Cat]

He's washed. Okay, he's washed. Yeah.

[Hank]

Check down Merchant.

[Max]

Listen, it happens to every quarterback. You know, like Father Time is undefeated.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

For, for Patrick Mahomes and he's looking at that right now. And you know, Tom Brady, I think he had a pretty good career. I'd say the second biggest winner out of tonight was Hank Lockwood.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, Hank was, Hank was a little nervous at one point though, because it was, when it was I think 27 to nothing, he was just like, no, there's no way. There's just no way. Yeah, because if Mahomes had pulled off a 27, nothing come back for a 3 Pete, that would have been all time. But it was, it was never a doubt. Like I, I, you know, watching obviously the Chiefs, you're like, okay, they could always come back. But when the game really turned on Cooper De Jean's pick six, which was an incredible play, and then Mahomes threw a pick, the next very next throw. So he had back to back interceptions. Zach Bond with the interception Badger. And it was, I don't, I don't know what else to say. Besides it was an absolute ass kicking. I never, it never felt like the Chiefs. The Chiefs. This is how crazy it was. We were sitting there watching. The first play from scrimmage for the Chiefs was a perfectly designed play. That was like a nice misdirection. I can't remember who caught it. My. Oh, it was Juju caught an 11 yard pass. First play from scrimmage for the Chiefs offense. That was their only first down for the entire first half. That first play. That was it. That it was. That was all she wrote. And the Eagles. And here's the craziest thing about this game. If you had said on Friday, if we had said to Max, who's going to join us in a second? If we had said to Max, Max, on Sunday night we're going to be recording this show and Saquon Barkley, his stat line is going to be 25 rushes for 57 yards. Did you win this game?

[Max]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And it would be like, I don't know. That's hopefully Jalen Hurts. No, no. You, you not only won this game, you dominated this game.

[Max]

Yeah. So not. Not only Saquon Barkley, 57 rush yards, also Patrick Mahomes ended up with 257 pass yards, three touchdowns, two picks. Hertz with 221 passing yards, two touchdowns, one pick. If you were to look at all that together.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

You'd say, yeah, the Chiefs sounds like the Chiefs won by three points.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

And what, what happened was it was just an utter ass kicking by the defensive line for the Philadelphia Eagles.

[Big Cat]

And Jalen Hurts played perfect.

[Max]

Yeah, he did.

[Big Cat]

Like he had that one interception. It was kind of like an arm punt. I. Although they could have gotten three there because I think they were on the 30 yard line. But other than that, he, I mean the passive Devonte Smith was an absolute dime. He, you know, the A.J. brown one that got called back was also a dime that 4th and 5 called that they made in the first, first drive. And everyone was like, oh, here we go. Here are the refs. And that didn't last long because the Eagles were just that much better than the entire Chiefs team. And, and it was like, no, I mean, Kelsey didn't get his first catch, I think until the second half. The Eagles. Yeah, the Eagles defense, like Vic Fangio. I know we talk about spags all the time. Vic Fangio is. He put on a masterclass, absolute masterclass. Didn't all the stats going into this game of like Vic Fangio.08 against the Chiefs. And you know, the Chiefs, I think seven out of eight of those games, they scored on their first drive. Coach Gruden said this on, I think Friday. He was like, Vic Fangio's not. He's going to do what he does and he's not going to change it. He's going to trust his guys and that's exactly what he did. He ran the same defense and he trusted his guys up front and they made great plays. He put Cooper De Jean on, on Kelsey when It mattered. And yeah, it was just an ass kicking.

[Max]

Yeah, it was never close. This is actually a pretty boring Super Bowl. I think a lot of America's pretty happy with the way that it ended because everyone wanted to see Patrick Mahomes and. And the Chiefs, the Evil Empire, lose. So a lot of people are happy about that. But I. I would have preferred somewhat of a competitive game in the second half. I think a lot of people were, like, hoping for Mahomes to do something to make it a little bit interesting the second half. But, yeah, it was just utter domination. And as we've always said on this show, you got to respect Nick Sirianni as a head coach.

[Big Cat]

Nick Sirianni.

[Max]

You have to, because right now. Did you know that Nick Sirianni has the highest winning percentage of any coach in the NFL?

[Big Cat]

I did know that because I said that LA two weeks ago when I was saying that.

[Max]

He's doing it Italian and he's doing a. He's doing an awes. And I think it's high time that other podcasts start to recognize that besides just us.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Made the playoff all four years. Two NFC championship game, NFC championship wins, a Super Bowl. I mean, that's a hell of a resume for four years.

[Max]

You left off win.

[Big Cat]

He's a winner. He's. And he did it all. Coaching Italian. And credit to Nick Sirianni not crying during the national anthem. I think we all thought that was going to be the key. It looked like he was trying to summon up some tears. He held them back. And yeah. Nick sir and Howie Roseman, I mean, that. To think where that Eagles defense was at the end of last year. They showed the stat. They were like 30th and 31st and everything. To get Cooper DeJean to get Quinon Mitchell to sign Zach Bond to retool that defensive line. Like he made all the right moves and that. We were talking last year about how Nick Sierra was on the hot seat and the way that season finished. It was like a completely demoralizing. Something's wrong with this locker room. Jalen Hurts, A.J. brown, all that. None of it mattered. They were so, so dominating both in the NFC Championship Game. In this game, it was not even. It just wasn't even close.

[Max]

Yeah. I mean, credit where credit's due.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he did it. Yeah. Incredible team.

[Max]

And yeah, Jalen hurts. He had a great game. Also with his legs.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Max]

He ran the ball really well. That was the other thing where he. When he started to take off, it was like, this is a healthy. Jalen hurts. We haven't seen this type of running from him in a long time. Yeah, he ran the ball well. He ran it smart. He just played. He played a really, really good football game.

[Big Cat]

And the most important thing, he won the super bowl with a visor.

[Max]

That's true. So this is the first quarterback to ever win a Super bowl while wearing a visor.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

You talk about records being shattered today, barriers being broken. Cooper De Jean White quarterback, white cornerback, pick six in the Super Bowl. And Jalen Hurts winning Super bowl with a visor.

[Big Cat]

And Kenny Pickett kneeling down. A Super bowl victory. Yeah, a lot of. First a lot of things we didn't think we'd see.

[Max]

Stand up to hate.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, Stand up to hate. It was. Yeah, it was. The whole thing was just. It couldn't have been an easier game for the Eagles. And you said like, you said like we were just sitting there waiting for Mahomes to do something and it really just. You can look at the stats after the game. It was all garbage time. That was all garbage.

[Max]

So you know what I noticed in the first half was they were getting really good pressure. They were getting there on the edges. And then Mahomes likes to step up in the pocket and then either wiggle through, turn off to his right and then find somebody downfield or pick up an easy like 8, 9 yards rushing. But when he went up the middle, when he stepped up, there were two guys there every time.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

And then he got scared and then he knew that he couldn't step up so he tried to do his little spin moves like Russ Wilson does in the backfield and he would just get caught by somebody that was faster than him.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

And it was, he didn't know what was going on.

[Big Cat]

And you could tell. Yeah, his like guys weren't open and he wasn't pro. I mean the, the, the back to back interceptions. I know he got kind of like stepped on for the second one, but still. Yeah, very unmas.

[Max]

Like has he ever thrown back to back picks on, on, I don't know, consecutive plays?

[Big Cat]

I don't know.

[Max]

I'm going to guess. No, that might be the first time.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it was, it was a bad night for the Chiefs and it really did. Like, I know that everyone rushes for legacy talk, but. But it's only fair to do this because it was. If he had won this super bowl, it would have been a lot of Patrick Mahomes. Four and one, three Pete. All this three and two in the super bowl obviously still has three. Two blowouts. Two blowouts are Significant.

[Max]

Interesting.

[Big Cat]

They are. They were significant blowouts.

[Max]

His super bowl point differential. You want to guess what it is, Hank?

[Hank]

It's got to be wins and losses. Yeah, that's what he's probably minus 15.

[Max]

He's minus 23.

[Big Cat]

Wow.

[Max]

Point differential.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. The two losses looked very similar and that they just could not do anything and he could not see anything, and he was getting harassed all night. And. Yeah, it's. I mean, three and two is very different. And it's shows again. I don't know if we'll ever have a team get back to a third super bowl going for a three peat, but, man, this shows how hard it is.

[Max]

I mean, I think we will at some point. Maybe at some point you're going to have good teams in the NFL, but.

[Big Cat]

This was the first time this had ever happened.

[Max]

Yeah, but I. I like, this is.

[Big Cat]

The first time it literally ever happened that a team got to the super bowl after winning two in a row.

[Max]

At some point, it's probably going to happen, but it's very, very hard to do.

[Big Cat]

I'd like to bet against it. Never, ever happen.

[Hank]

Same.

[Big Cat]

I'll put that bet in. All right, we do. We do have max.

[Max]

I kind of like that. To take that bet right now. Like, until we die.

[Big Cat]

Until we die. I'll make it.

[Max]

How much you want to bet?

[Big Cat]

10 grand.

[Max]

Wait, but so then if. What if you die?

[Big Cat]

Put it in your will.

[Max]

What if you die before me?

[Big Cat]

If I die, you have to give it to my kids. And if I don't see it, if you die, you have to put it in your will. Give it to me. All right. Ten grand.

[Max]

Like that.

[Big Cat]

Love it. It's never going to.

[Max]

That's a great. That's a bet that will last well after we're dead.

[Big Cat]

With inflation.

[PFT Commenter]

No, we gotta account for inflation.

[Max]

You think it's going to go up or down?

[Big Cat]

I think it's. Well, the T, man.

[Max]

Probably down with tariffs.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Okay. Hank, you want in on this bet? Yeah. Okay.

[Max]

Sweet.

[Big Cat]

You want to bet? Pft. Yeah.

[Max]

10 grand.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Hank]

Let's just add it on to the Patriots command.

[Max]

Yeah. Can I deduct that from here? Well, the bet is that the Patriots will make it to the super bowl in the next, what, four years?

[Hank]

Three years.

[Big Cat]

Three years.

[Hank]

Four years.

[Max]

Corrected me. Three years. Yeah, we'll tack it on there.

His mic's in the his mic doesn't work.

[Max]

This is a moment.

[Big Cat]

Oh, this is big moment. His mic doesn't work.

[Max]

We'll wait for Punk to get here and get his thoughts.

[Big Cat]

He's sitting there, I gotta say right now, just looking at Max. He's got to be the smelliest grossest human on earth.

[Max]

Well, he was out in the rain for about two hours drinking beer.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he was. He was.

[Max]

The beard looked like if you smelled it, you would pass out.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he. He. He's been in. He's been in New Orleans for nine days now. We know he went out hard last night. We saw a picture of him this morning with mismatched socks. He's. He's got his suspenders on, his overalls on. He's just looking.

[Max]

He's.

[Big Cat]

I was saying he looked like a human fart walking into the stadium. And we're going to wait for Max. I guess he's. He's not ready to go.

[Max]

He said he tweeted out one hour ago. I'm going to get so fucking drunk tonight.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

I'm curious to know if he's. If he's begun that mission. I think he probably has.

[Big Cat]

Okay, so. So while we wait for Max, let's.

[Hank]

Talk about Tom Brady.

[Big Cat]

Okay, Go ahead. Wait, wait. I want Max to hear this. By the way, we forgot one big story that Max doesn't know about that we need to mention. Fox bringing out that new score bug for the super bowl is. Was a war crime.

[Max]

It was disgusting.

[Big Cat]

That was insane.

[Max]

Why do networks do that for the Super Bowl? This is something that you need, like, at least a full year to workshop in case you lay. Dude, this one was so bad, it looked like they screwed up and had to redevelop and redesign their score bug. Like four hours before kickoff.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

And they just had time to make, like two rectangles that they would put on the screen.

[Big Cat]

Hank said it perfectly. He was like, this looks like our score bug for our streams because we don't have rights to it.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Where we'll just have, like, the colors of the team.

[Hank]

And they had the same font for both teams.

[Big Cat]

Like, that was weird.

[Max]

And the empty space with no background in the middle.

[Big Cat]

I don't know who, who came up with that, but that guy should be. I don't want to say fired, but he should be because that was so bad. I don't know how that gets through. This is a. It goes to what we say all the time. Like, just hire a regular fan for these high level meetings, have them sit down, show them the score bug, and they'll immediately be like, what the fuck is that?

[Max]

Well, here's the other thing. You need to do it ahead of time because that way we would have a full season to get used to it.

[Big Cat]

Right.

[Max]

And we probably wouldn't think that it looked as bad after seeing it for, like, 20 weeks in a row. But if you do it, we all hate the new score bugs. I would say the approval rating on a brand new score bug is probably like, 20%, right?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Every time you've seen a new score bug, you hate it. Fact or fiction?

[Big Cat]

Fact.

[Max]

Fact. To do it during the super bowl, even if it is halfway decent, which this one was not, we're still going to act like it's the worst thing in the world. This was worse than anyone could have expected, though.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it was so bad. By the way, this entire time we've been talking, just punching things. Oh. Kind of can kind of hear you.

[Roan]

This is the. The P is a brand new thing.

[Big Cat]

Wait, what's going on, Max? Say it. Say it again.

[Roan]

This is a brand now. The microphone's broken.

[Big Cat]

It's the Super Bowl.

[Roan]

I can't switch the mic. We already started recording.

[Big Cat]

No, we just started recording.

[Roan]

I know. Pug is just saying switch the mic. It can't switch the mic.

[Big Cat]

All right, so then just switch. Stop recording. Switch the mic, and then we'll have you back on when you're ready to go. Broken. This is Max's big moment. Keep all this.

[Max]

Suck on that, haters.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God.

[Hank]

Had it working.

[Big Cat]

He. He. You know what Max looks like right now? He looks like suspect number one in True Detective. The season, what they did in Louisiana. Like, you just see him on a lawnmower. You're like, that guy's been killing people. That guy's someone. We got a question.

[Hank]

Tree man.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he is the tree man. Right now, he's just a swamp creature. He's become New Orleans. Oh, my God. All right, what. What. What else do we have about the game before Max, while Max fixes this Tom Brady. Well, I want Max to hear this, because then he'll get mad, right?

[Hank]

No, I don't think it has anything to do with. With the Eagles, really. It was a big, massive game for. For Tom Brady's legacy, but now he was 3 and 2 in his first five Super Bowls. Mahomes is 3 and 2 in his first five super bowls. Brady paid played a lot better, and the games are a lot closer in the two games that they lost. And now it's like Mahomes. He's got to win four more. Andy Reid's going to retire soon. He's already washed, so he's got a long way to go. It would have been tough to argue against 4 and 1 and a 3 in a 3p.

[Big Cat]

The 3 peat was the history maker.

[Hank]

But now that's all over.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

So it was.

[Hank]

And it was great. It was nice that Tom Brady got to watch it and announce it, knowing how happy he was the whole time because he went on.

[Big Cat]

Was that Tom Brady? Yeah. Okay.

[Hank]

He went on Coward. Earlier in the week, he was talking about how important, like, the only losses people talk about are super bowl losses. Like no one talks about. You know, when he lost to the. To the Colts and to the Ravens in the AFC Championship and stuff. They only talked to him about the super bowl losses. And now Mahomes has two big ones.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Did. Did you see Tom Brady's cheeks?

[Hank]

They look great.

[Max]

Real, real high cheekbones today.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Max]

Yeah, he look good.

[Hank]

So watch.

[Max]

Yeah, it was a nice watch.

[Big Cat]

Very nice. Did. Did Ravel tell us how much that was?

[Hank]

600K.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Max]

It was a big win for Tom Brady's big win for Belichick, I guess. Although the. The pregame stat where they showed Andy Reid walking out and they said all time winningest coach in Chiefs and Eagles history is pretty crazy to see, but big win for Belichick.

[Hank]

Yep.

[Max]

Not letting Andy Reid get that. Also big win for Gronk.

[Hank]

And Belcheck was just catching wins all week. He showed up to the NFL honors with all eight of his super bowl rings.

[Big Cat]

What was. Was that a real picture of his girlfriend? Yeah.

[Hank]

That was weird. That one I didn't fully understand.

[Big Cat]

His girlfriend was wearing a suit that was just straight up trolling 51 Atlanta Falcons Championship shirt. That was crazy.

[Hank]

Yeah, that was. That was a little. A little much.

[Max]

And I like it. And Patrick Mahomes wearing Eagles green intentionally.

[Big Cat]

Intentionally.

[Max]

As his pregame attire. Wild move. I respect the cockiness. Yeah, I do. But if. If you're Patrick Mahomes and you walk, you wear that on the walk in. You should also wear that in the post game celebrate or postgame press conference. I haven't seen any pictures of him. Was he wearing that postgame?

[Big Cat]

I did not see it. I also saw Travis Kelce looked like he was dressed as, like a drug dealer coming in. That was a cocky suit that he was wearing. He looked like a 1985 drug dealer. Is the mic working?

[Max]

No, he's just wearing his shirt.

[Big Cat]

Okay. Is that.

[Roan]

Does that sound Cancellation restarted.

[Hank]

Oh, my God.

[Big Cat]

Are we gonna be able to keep all of Max's struggles with the mic going? Memes. Did we record a bunch of this?

[Pug]

Yeah, it's all recording.

[Big Cat]

So you will hear them? We'll be able to hear them. All right, let's see if the mic works here. Talk again. Try again. Nope, can't hear you. This is. This is his big moment. He's just screaming into the kid. He's screaming into a mic. That's not working. Watch everyone subscribe to the YouTube. Get us to 600, 000 subscribers. Because you get to watch Max just walking around being so mad. Right?

[Max]

He's like a caveman.

[Big Cat]

I mean, this is how he's been waiting for this moment, and he's just being cucked by his own. He's the producer too. Like, if anyone. If it was one of us trying to figure this out, you'd understand. But it's Max trying to figure this out. He should know this. Okay, while we wait for Max to try to get this, we're brought to you again by Kevin's Natural Foods. A takeover.

[Max]

Still nothing.

[Big Cat]

Even when he won a Super bowl, he can't win.

[Max]

We can't hear you, Max.

[Big Cat]

We can't hear you. You're screaming into a mic that has no sound coming back to us. This is so perfect. Max.

[Max]

Wait, do we have you say something, Max, say something.

[Roan]

No, it's just gonna go through. It's going through. It's just gonna go through. The regular microphone is. Microphone is. All right. No microphone. We're not doing the mic.

[Max]

The mic worked earlier, though.

[Big Cat]

All right, if we're not doing the microphone, you gotta bring the computer to your lap. This is. I can't believe this is happening.

[Hank]

Oh, my God.

[Big Cat]

He looks like he's about to titty us.

[Max]

The last thing a kid cat sees.

[Big Cat]

Okay, Max, I think you got. I think you got to put it in your lap.

[Max]

Yeah, you got to get closer.

[Roan]

This is as close as it's getting.

[Big Cat]

How is this gonna sound? Hold on. Oh, oh, he's got a fix. He might have a.

[Hank]

If only we had a producer down there with him.

[Big Cat]

Roan's here too. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's okay.

[Roan]

This is better.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that's good. That actually sounds good.

[Roan]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

All right, Truly get it. Get this man is truly all right. Oh, he's getting back up.

[Roan]

All right, I'm here.

[Big Cat]

We're now welcoming on super bowl championship Max and our good friend Roan. They're back from the Super Bowl. Boys, congrats. First, this is your moment. Two years in the waiting we had two years ago in Arizona. You guys were sitting there sad as could be as we laughed at you. Now you get the laugh. You just absolutely shit pumped. Patrick Mahomes in the Chiefs dominating as dominating could be. Just give us everything, unload it. Tell us, tell us everything.

[Roan]

It was a hell of a weekend. It was a hell of a football game by one team that is an elite all time historic football team. The Philadelphia Eagles of the 2024, 2025 season are a historic football team. Games that they have been healthy in, they've lost one game. The Falcons game is the only real loss that they had all year. If you go back and look at it, Jalen Hurts didn't play in the Commanders game. Devonte Smith and Lane Johnson and A.J. brown didn't play in the bucks game. The Atlanta Falcons game is the only real loss that this team has had all year. And we beat the out of teams all year. We beat the out of teams, right? Multiple scores against the Ravens. Multiple scores against the Steelers beat the out of the Commanders Bengals. This team is one of the best teams of all time. And Jalen Hurts is a top five.

[Memes]

Quarterback in this league.

[Roan]

He's a top three quarterback in this league. He's one of the best ever doing in the Eagles green. Jalen Hurts deserves respect. Blowing up this mic for sure, but a hell of a football game. All time defense. Vic Vangio is a God. I love the Eagles. I love this city and I love Philadelphia.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah, yeah. How about, how about like talk us through the game instead of your schedule.

[Roan]

It was a good game.

[Big Cat]

I mean. All right, all right, let's, let's, let's back up. Ron, Max, you guys went out last night. Waking up this morning. Like give us, give us just like the play by play of how today went. Like when did you guys link up going into the stadium? What was the stadium like? Everything.

[Hank]

When was the last time you were sober, Max?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that also.

[Roan]

That I'm pretty sober right Now.

[Max]

Okay. Okay.

[Big Cat]

All right. Ron, why don't you take it away for a second?

[Memes]

Yeah. We woke up this morning.

[Roan]

Speech.

[Memes]

I sent Max a video, and I said, lucky, are we the people who get to take a loss and then come back and have another chance at this?

[Big Cat]

We.

[Memes]

We lost. We. We embarrassed ourselves against the Chiefs last time, and we're so fortunate to have a chance to. To take another crack at this thing. So I sent Max a video that said we are ready for them, and we get to the game. And right as we get to the stadium, I whisper to Max, what if we whip their ass? What if we go belt to ass to the Kansas City Chiefs? What if we find Patrick Mahomes, maybe one of the best, maybe the best quarterback of all time, and we beat his ass in front of a national audience? And sure enough, that's exactly what we did. I mean, walking into the stadium, it was almost like there was a sense of calm, like we had been here before, and it wasn't the fear that we had our team a couple years ago. We're better at cornerback. That's where we lost. We're better at running back. That's where we lost. We're better at linebacker. That's where we lost. And we put it all together in a performance where there was no doubt. We wanted to keep on reminding ourselves that, hey, we've lost this before. We've been in the situation where we're up 10 points, where we're up a bunch of points, and we took it to a place where we were up. What was it, 31 to nothing?

[Big Cat]

34. Nothing.

[Memes]

34 to nothing.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Memes]

And we took care of business the entire way. Honestly, the city of Philadelphia has to. Has to feel so proud of what the Eagles did right now. The joy in that stadium, the mirth, the.

[Big Cat]

The.

[Memes]

The feelings that are just. Just coursing through all of our veins right now. It's incomprehensible. Belt to ass.

[Max]

When did you guys allow yourselves to feel comfortable with it? Because I know Max was saying, like, it's not over. Stop cursing it. When you were up by 34 points.

[Roan]

Once.

[Big Cat]

The.

[Roan]

The. The strip sack. The strip sack was definitely the moment where. Where it switched for me because I was also thinking, like, given my track, like, track record, I was thinking, like, we're gonna have a historic loss, and I'm gonna have to go on this show tonight and sit down after. Sorry, the worst law history football.

[Big Cat]

Because we.

[Roan]

I just kept thinking, like, 28 to 3. 28 to 3. Like, this is worse than 28 to 3. And then I'm gonna be that guy that has to go on the part of my take and. And do a podcast after giving that up.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Roan]

So defense is just good.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

The most important question I have for you because we're watching on tv and there was a moment in the game when the Chiefs had the ball, they were driving, and you could hear the arrowhead tomahawk chant break out in the Superdome. And I thought to myself, like, that's a really loud chant. I didn't think that the Chiefs had that many fans there. Could that be the Eagles fans doing the arrowhead chop sarcastically? Because if so, that's awesome. Was that you guys?

[Roan]

Wait, could you hear that on the broadcast?

[Max]

It was loud.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yes. Very loud. Rocks.

[Roan]

I did not know that. It's tough to tell if it's like just our section or if it's like the whole stadium for like where we. Where we were. But the fact that you could hear that on the broadcast must have meant, I mean, what do you think?

[Hank]

What do you think the fan split was? What do you think the fan split was inside the stadium?

[Roan]

I don't know where we were. It was very green.

[Big Cat]

I.

[Roan]

But like, I don't know if like that was an Eagle section.

[Big Cat]

You couldn't see the other side.

[Hank]

What about. Yeah, like, cheering when, like plays would happen.

[Roan]

The Chiefs barely got to cheer.

[Big Cat]

That's true. You guys did like they did. All of Patrick Mahomes stats were garbage time stats. You guys completely suffocated them. What? I have a question for you, Roan. The Cooper De Jean interception, pick six all time moment. We got the alternate view. You were just dumping a full beer on your head. Were you worried at all that that was a little early in the game to be just dousing yourself in beer.

[Memes]

It wasn't even like that wasn't the final celebration, but the pure emotion of that, of that moment completely took over. But we're telling every Eagles fan, hey, lock in for the second half. It doesn't matter what our lead is. I didn't feel any type of comfort until about three minutes left in the third quarter when the Chiefs couldn't do anything. In the first half. The Chiefs had what, 24 yards. Patrick Mahomes had like 23 yards. 24 yards. We had 24 points. We had as many points as they had yards. It was just a pure clean ass whooping. And we tried to stay as conservative as possible, but when the team just refuses to touch the brakes the entire time, we had no choice except for to celebrate as the victors, as the best team in the NFL, as the champions, as a team that no one can take it from for the rest of the year. We get to talk our shit, we get to pop our shit, get to feel good about ourselves, and no one gets to say shit to us.

[Big Cat]

We were, we were talking before you guys joined the. When we were sitting there watching the game, the first play from scrimmage from the Chiefs was like a perfect misdirection. First down, 11 yard pass to JuJu Smith Schuster. That was their only first down in the first half. Their first play from scrimmage was their only first down in the first half. That's how good you guys were. And I, we were saying, like, they had to feel so incredible to just start the celebration or I know that you guys were like, oh, Patrick Mahomes. But like, even in the third quarter, to be able to be like, hey, we did it. And you just. You basically get to just celebrate for an entire fourth quarter as you, as you watch the seconds tick down for your super bowl victory.

[Memes]

Let's. Let's rewrite the narrative almost, because coming into this game, we said the Eagles obviously have the better squad, but quarterback wise, we have to give the nod to Patrick Mahomes. But you look at what the two quarterbacks did during this game. Jalen Hurts outplayed Patrick Mahomes. And there's no way to rewrite it in any other fashion than that it was a pure ass whooping. Our defense played better. Jalen Hurts has to be talked about in the same in, in the same way as the top couple quarterbacks in this league. He surpasses Joe Burrow. He surpasses Lamar Jackson. He surpasses Josh Allen. He surpasses all these guys who could never get it done. Not only did he do it, the stats were there to back it up, and the hardware is there in the form of an MVP and a Lombardi.

[Max]

All right, so Rose, sounds like you. You have Patrick Mahomes still number one in the NFL, and then you have Jalen second.

[Memes]

Who else can you even put in the. In the conversation like that? It's Jalen second. Yeah.

[Roan]

Everyone keeps saying. Everyone keeps saying, oh, Josh Allen can't get to the super bowl because he has to be Patrick Mahomes. Lamar Jackson can't get to the super bowl because he has to be Patrick Mahomes in the afc. Jalen Hurts just beat the out of Patrick Mahomes. And everyone talks about how great this chief's defense was. Jalen Hurts beat the out of this defense. It wasn't Saquon.

[Big Cat]

No, we. We. We said if we told you before the game on Friday that Saquon had 25 rushes for 57 yards, you'd be like, oh, we might be in trouble. But Jalen Hurts was perfect. Outside of his interception. He played a perfect game. His. He ran great. He. He threw whenever like. All his passes were crisp. He played a perfect game. He deserves the mvp.

[Memes]

He had some incredible passes. Let's look at his pass down the sideline to Jahan Dotson. Incredible pass. Let's look at the pass they took away to A.J. brown. Incredible pass. Let's look at the touchdown pass that he had to Devonte Smith. These are high caliber throws from a quarterback who people act like only is a pair of legs. They act like all he has is a tush push. No, he throws a pretty ball. He doesn't turn the ball over that much. He had one bad interception, but for the most part, he took care of business. He took care of the ball. And can we also take maybe a little bit of a nod to the Eagles defensive line who had a pressure 50% throughout the entire time without blitzing. It was just three or four guys and everybody's able to pin back their ears and get after the quarterback. It's incredible what can happen when the sod father is not doing some where we can just pin back our ears, play on some turf and take care of business.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. No, I mean the. The. The. Makes you wonder if the. If you played on artificial turf two years ago would have been different. What do you. What do you. What are you pointing to?

[Roan]

Max, I just had an idea. Pug is here with the. It's a production. Pug is here with the vlog camera. I thought the audio would probably better for that, so I told him to keep that rolling.

[Big Cat]

Let's get.

[Max]

Let's get Pug's thoughts too. I want to hear from Pug about his experience.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, Pug, come on. You guys got to come back after though, because we gotta. Yeah, but Pug. There he is.

[Max]

Pug, you are now Super Bowls.

[Big Cat]

Get in the middle, Pug. Move over the middle. There you go.

[Max]

Pug, you're 10 in Super Bowls. People are calling you the Patrick Mahomes Killer.

[Jack]

Pug, I'm blessed. That's all I could say. I'm lucky to have been there. Blessed. Go Birds. Also, Max, no champagne help too last night.

[Max]

Yes, we saw him holding champagne, but he was doing a good job. He had one hand over his mouth and the other hand holding the champagne. Smart.

[Big Cat]

Pug, I got to ask you this question because when we. First of all, congratulations, you're a Super bowl champ. When we bought you ticket on Friday, there was. There was a few people being like, oh, go to the super bowl by yourself. That would suck. I was like, I think that's the one game you can go by yourself. And then you gave an update in the first quarter, and it looked like you had your seatmate, an Eagles fan, literally sitting on your lap. Did you become best friends with that guy? Yeah.

[Jack]

Shout out Matt. He flew in on Friday from England to come to the game. Guy from Philly. Great guy. Immediately became close friends. Within the first couple minutes, it was just like, birds fan, birds fan. And just we're hugging like, two minutes into the game.

[Big Cat]

So was he by himself, too?

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Oh, hell yes. Yes.

[Jack]

My whole section was Eagles fans, so it was just like, people I didn't know. I'm just, like, hugging people I don't know at all. It was incredible.

[Max]

I love that.

[Big Cat]

That's amazing.

[Max]

Pug, I'd like to get your review of the halftime show.

[Jack]

Yeah, halftime show was great. I would say the. The. The A minor line. Like, the whole stadium lit up. That was very cool.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[Jack]

But it. One thing that it's. It's kind of hard to pay. Like, on tv, they show you where to pay attention. Like, they just show you on tv, like, what it looks like, but when you're there, you have to, like, look for where on the stage they're actually doing it. It's kind of hard to keep track a little.

[Max]

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

[Big Cat]

So, Pug, what point in the game did you start being like, okay, this is happening. We're winning the Super Bowl?

[Jack]

I, like, end of the third quarter.

[Big Cat]

I was feeling it.

[Jack]

And then, like, when my home. Even like those last couple minutes when Mahomes scored very late, I was. I got nervous again, like, because he's Mahomes.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Max]

What was the loudest moment? When did the dome get. Get the loudest?

[Jack]

The Cooper Dean pick six was like, crazy, crazy loud.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that's probably one. How was. How was it going into the state? You guys. Were you guys. Did you guys go to the bar before going into the stadium? Did you. Pregame?

[Jack]

We just had a couple trulies at the condo and then we just walked over. No bar. Just kind of walked. Like, we're right. We're very close to the arena, so we just, like, walked right over.

[Big Cat]

That's awesome.

[Max]

Sounds Like, a great time. I'm so happy for you.

[Big Cat]

I'm very happy for you, Pug. Very, very happy.

[Max]

How drunk is Max right now, Pug?

[Big Cat]

He's not. Not.

[Roan]

It's not too bad.

[Memes]

Not too bad.

[Big Cat]

He's gonna get.

[Max]

He's gonna get so drunk.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he's gonna get very drunk.

[Jack]

Later. Later, I think.

[Max]

Seeing eyes.

[Big Cat]

All right, Max, sit back down. Pug, you're the best. Congrats, super bowl champion, Pug. Max, sit back down. Max, what would you like to say? Oh, why'd you put on the sweatshirt?

[Max]

He's got champions.

[Big Cat]

Okay, Max, what would you like to say to all the.

[Roan]

I don't really have much to say to the haters. I love the haters. The haters are what fuel me. The haters are what get me up in the morning. The haters are. Are what get me to the podcast room and to say bad takes every day. I appreciate the hate, but I. But I'm apologizing to the haters because the narrative is over. The narrative of Max Delente, certified loser, is over.

[Big Cat]

And it's a.

[Roan]

For them because they love. They love that narrative.

[Hank]

But as a producer, you know that's bad for the show. Yeah, as a producer, you know that's bad for the show. So part of you is like, damn.

[Roan]

I. I would be lying if I didn't say if.

[Big Cat]

If that didn't cross my mind, but you can't listen. You're. You'll lose again, but you got to enjoy this win. You're a winner.

[Roan]

Right now, I'm a winner.

[Max]

Are we thinking title sound?

[Big Cat]

Are we thinking title towel, Max?

[Roan]

I think every other team's going in the opposite direction, but the birds will always have this one.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. And maybe. I mean, what'd you say?

[Roan]

We beat the fuck out of them?

[Big Cat]

We beat the fuck out of me. Beat the fuck out of them. Okay, so rest of the night, I have breaking moose, breaking moves. I told you guys. I texted Max. I texted Max and Roan. Congrats. Right after, I was like, I'll do everything in my power to try to get you guys with the team to party. And I've already made one text. Big Dom, he just replied. I said, we got to get Max and the boys into the party. He said, my paisan, you know, I got him. So you got to send that text to Big Tom, and we got to get you going. I want to see. I want to see Max and Roan, like Eiffel towering Nick Sirianni on a dance floor at 3 in the morning.

[Memes]

It would be such a blessing to be able to celebrate with those absolute champions. They could Eiffel Tower us, honestly. They do whatever they want with our bodies. We're their vessel right now. We're champs.

[Max]

Who's the one guy that you really want to party with tonight?

[Roan]

Roan. Yep.

[Big Cat]

What time is your guys. Now, we didn't say this publicly, but you guys have a connecting flight tomorrow through Kansas City, which now will be the funniest flight. Or you do. You. You do Max, and so does Pug. What? So what time's your flight? Are you going to sleep tonight? I expect no sleep.

[Roan]

My flight's at 1:30, so if I don't sleep, that would be bad.

[Max]

You might not sleep, but don't sleep.

[Roan]

Well, 1:30 would be tough. I got to get.

[Big Cat]

All right, so. But that's going to be a hilarious flight. You got to vlog it, Max. You just being a conquering hero going back to Kansas City.

[Roan]

I feel the people of Kansas City are. Are pretty nice. Like, I'm going to feel bad doing it, but I'll. I mean, I. I gotta do what I gotta do.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I think.

[Max]

I think they'll probably be pretty cool because they've, you know, they've won before. They wanted this one for the history, but they'll. They'll give you a lot of. Yeah, you know, it's a pretty good feeling. Congrats, guys. We know how it is. I don't think they're gonna be too pissed off at you.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Roan]

No wins.

[Big Cat]

They got wins.

[Roan]

Go Birds.

[Big Cat]

All right, so do you guys have any? Yeah, go ahead.

[Memes]

I just think that this kind of rewrites the story of Max Delente as well. I think that Maxillente has fallen into this light of being a lovable loser and being the guy who just can't get over the hill. And he stormed up the hill today and he fucking planted his flag right at the summit of the hill. I think the way that we see this guy is going to be different. The way he carries himself is going to be different. The fucking way he feels in his balls, in his soul, in his bones is going to be different forever. You have to give this guy his flowers and we might turn into the most obnoxious people you've ever met in your life.

[Max]

How's the foot feeling, Max?

[Roan]

Foot's feeling great. Boot still on?

[Max]

I don't know what to do with promises.

[Hank]

Is.

[Max]

Sh.

[Hank]

Sh.

[Max]

If you said you do a shoe if you won.

[Big Cat]

Max, I have to tell you, my wife was texting Me. As the game was ticking down, she was like, I'm actually nervous for Max. I'm nervous for his foot. I'm nervous for his well being. Can someone please be there to help him? And I was like, well, Roan's gonna be with him. That might not be a help. Cause Roan's gonna get smashed as well. Maybe Pug. Who knows? Someone will look after you.

[Max]

Let's go, Max. You deserve this. Max.

[Big Cat]

Is this just gonna spill everywhere?

[Max]

This is gonna be the grossest smelling tasty thing ever. Wait, by the way. He's had this on all day. He's been walking around New Orleans in it.

[Big Cat]

He had it on for a month.

[Max]

He's been wearing it down Bourbon Street.

[Big Cat]

Is it spilling everywhere right now?

[Roan]

There's so many holes.

[Big Cat]

Drink it.

[Max]

You're spilling it.

[Big Cat]

Drink it.

[Max]

Shoot the boot.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah. Oh.

[PFT Commenter]

You'Re gonna have a disease.

[Big Cat]

How bad does Max Melrose?

[Roan]

I think this is gonna be retired. I think this is retired.

[Hank]

Well, you sharpie get the players to sign it.

[Big Cat]

Well, you can't retire that, Max, with the. The playoffs next year.

[Hank]

Yeah, it's like my vest.

[Roan]

Yeah, you might.

[Big Cat]

You got. You got to have that. You cannot lose that boot.

[Max]

Or just right now, or just keep it like a Lombardi trophy all over.

[Roan]

Me at the moment.

[Big Cat]

How bad is Max smell, Roan?

[Roan]

Oh, horrendous. I don't even want him to answer. I smell bad right now.

[Memes]

We all have been sweating, though. We all are just sweating our dicks off. We're just co. Mingling body odors. Me, Pug and Max are just have like a perfect cocktail. A Neapolitan ice cream with three different body odors going on right now.

[Max]

It smells delicious. Oh, I got to say, if there's. If there's one place in the world to be world champions for a night, I feel like New Orleans is right at the top of that list. Yeah, you guys are going to have an absolute blast.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it is. It's perfect. It's perfect. Oh, all right. Well, congrats, boys. Max will see you on Tuesday. Roan, we'll see you when we see a belt to ass. You guys are world champs. And that was. You did it in a fucking way. That was just. Never a doubt. Never a doubt.

[Max]

You beat the fuck out of the big bad giant.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. You absolutely destroyed him. And it's no. No doubt Jalen Hurts. Mvp. He's. He's a top what, three quarterback.

[Memes]

Two.

[Big Cat]

Two top two quarterback.

[Max]

Top two, Top two.

[Roan]

Where would you guys. Where would you guys put him realistically.

[Big Cat]

I mean, I don't know.

[Max]

We got to save that discussion for, like, may.

[Big Cat]

I think right now. He's won right now. He's one super bowl mvp. He's won right now.

[Max]

That's true. We got to be consistent. If you're the. If you're the MVP of the championship, then you are no doubt the alpha that team. And the best player.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. He's number one. Number one right now. Yeah.

[Roan]

Does that make you feel better about your loss?

[Max]

Well, about, like, 20 minutes in the game, I thought to myself, like, how good does this look for the commanders?

[Big Cat]

He's doing another shoey.

[Max]

Yeah. Honestly, I'm. Max, I'm very happy for you and Roan. On a personal level, you should do one, obviously. Obviously.

[Big Cat]

The birds.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Max]

Big rival's gonna do one.

[Big Cat]

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, this is how. This is how swine flu starts.

[Roan]

It tastes like so much foot.

[Big Cat]

Pug. Get one. Yeah. Get one. Pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug. Oh.

[Hank]

Behind him. Oh, yeah, right there. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Oh, pug. Our. Our beautiful pug. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we can see Pug.

[Max]

Looks like he smells so much better than Max.

[Big Cat]

Oh, fuck. Yes.

[Roan]

Boys, I'm done with you guys.

[Big Cat]

All right, have fun tonight. Stay safe.

[Max]

See you, Max.

[Big Cat]

Congrats. Congrats to you guys.

[Big Cat]

All right. That was something.

[Max]

That was great.

[Big Cat]

That's the boys.

[Max]

That was great. The boys are buzzing.

[Big Cat]

I did like that Max just started talking about like every game from the season. Not the Super Bowl.

[Max]

Well, no, he. He had. He had the speech ready to go. He's like, you need to respect us as one of the all time greats.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

And that's the conversation you have to have after a Super bowl ass kicking like that. Like you got to stand on the table for your guys.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it was. I mean, they, they deserve it. And. And Jalen Hurts does. Did get a lot of heat in the media and he performed perfectly. All right. Anything else from the game?

[Max]

Couple things.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Max]

Credit to part of my take guests last week.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Max]

Because Lane Johnson gave us the Gatorade color.

[Big Cat]

He did. Pays to listen to pmt.

[Max]

Chris Burman gave us Deandre Hopkins anytime. Touchdown. That was plus 500 or plus 425 depending when you got it.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[Max]

So good on them. And congratulations to Hank for winning. You're just a winner, Hank. Yeah, just a winner.

[Hank]

Great, great season. Great bet. Happy for the Eagles.

[Big Cat]

I got revenge as well.

[Hank]

Yep. I appreciate them. Just, you know, it really helps the narrative because this show is narrative based show. It's a conversation that would have never stopped. And now it doesn't have to.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Shout out. Tails.

[Hank]

Tails.

[Big Cat]

Two and a half. Quarterbacks, two and a half. Past players to attempt to pass. Did not think we would get it with Kenny Pickett in a blowout.

[Max]

Nope.

[Big Cat]

On a fourth down.

[Max]

No doinks.

[Big Cat]

No doinks.

[Max]

Thanks, Hank. Sorry you lost your bet, Hank.

[Hank]

Sorry we lost Lamar Jackson. No worries.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Hank]

But congrats to Josh.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Yeah. We should actually talk about that for a second. In a minute. I had a couple other things, so. Yeah. Lane Johnson, what an absolute animal. That offensive line was so good tonight.

[Max]

They're so heavy. So that stat that they showed was insane. Where it was the average weight of the Birds offensive line, what was it, like £340?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

And in the first super bowl, the Average weight was 240.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

That's crazy.

[Big Cat]

It was crazy.

[Hank]

So I feel like there's going to be like a. An NHL level injury report that comes out about Chris Jones too, because he was. He looked bad after like the first series when they were like going at his neck and his knee got fucked up and it's going to be like some crazy. He was playing through some crazy injuries that he probably shouldn't even been playing.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Max]

The.

[Big Cat]

Also, we had some astute. I wanted to share this with you guys, some astute analysis by Brett Favre after the game. He said, not the most entertaining game, but it's difficult to even get to there. And with a bunch of teams improving, next year will be interesting. What to make of it.

[Max]

I agree with Brett Favre.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Or sorry, it will be interesting. What to make it. So what? Two teams make it. That's some great. That's some great analysis.

[Max]

That's Magic Johnson level shit right there.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Max]

No one's ever accused Brett Favre of having a Magic Johnson.

[Big Cat]

Do we have any quotes from Patrick.

[Hank]

Mahomes or Travis Kelce after Mahomes tweeted.

[Big Cat]

What do you say?

[Hank]

It was just like, we. We let everyone down. That's on me. I'll get it.

[Max]

Also, I got eyes on the postgame presser from Mahomes. He changed into a T shirt. I understand why, but if you wear the troll suit going in, I feel like you should face the music and wear it afterwards.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Hank]

You should appreciate all the love and support from Chief's kingdom. I let you all down today. I'll always continue to work and try to learn and be better for it. Want to give thanks to God for every opportunity he's given me. We will be back.

[Big Cat]

Okay. I do feel bad for DeAndre Hopkins a little bit because that was, you know, that was his. That was. He's an incredible player and that was his one chance. I don't know how much longer he's going to be there. Wait.

[Hank]

Xavier Worthy with the quietest eight receptions, 157 yards, and two touchdowns of all time.

[Big Cat]

All time. Wait, DeAndre Hopkins talked about the refs.

[Max]

What do you say?

[Big Cat]

There was a lot of touchy calls. Y'all gonna report that? Oh, that's not great.

[Max]

You got your ass kicked.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, you got your ass absolutely kicked.

[Max]

Was it interference on that wide open drop that he had?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, he dropped that one pretty bad. That's a little salty. That's a little salty.

[Max]

Don't like that. He did get a touchdown, though.

[Big Cat]

He did. He did. He scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl.

[Max]

I've just. Just seeing this right now. Philadelphia schools have a two hour delay tomorrow. Just cancel. Yeah, just honestly, there's not going to be any learning done.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, they greased the polls in New Orleans, which I did. You also see the. I think it was the Four Seasons, Downtown Philadelphia. They just took away the awning. Smart. Because they're like, we don't want people jumping off of this, like, on Saturday. They just drove the awning away. It's great. What do you got?

[Max]

Memes like, win or lose.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Win or lose. They were like, we got to get this awning out here.

[Pug]

Jack McCarthy keeps having Max do fake ads and just doing a shoey with each one.

[Big Cat]

Truly.

[Pug]

And, Dub.

[Big Cat]

Can you play them for us on the show right now? Let's play them.

[Pug]

Yeah, I'm gonna DM it. Damn it. To Max.

[Big Cat]

Oh, this is great.

[Max]

Oh, that's a good move by Jack McCarthy.

[Big Cat]

I can't believe his mic didn't work for the first 10 minutes. Just so perfect. It's great.

[Max]

I also loved. You have to watch the YouTube, but he was wearing the. The overalls. He took the. The sweatshirt off for a lot of it. And the overall, the right strap just falling down the entire time.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Just pulling it back up like he was Sydney Sweeney dumping out of his bra.

[Big Cat]

Any super bowl ads? I mean, I feel like we knew a lot. We knew the Doritos one shot.

[Hank]

Doritos one was good. Reese's one was good.

[Max]

I met the Doritos ad guys when they were down in New Orleans. The guy. The two guys that made that commercial, they were pumped to get a million bucks.

[Hank]

Yeah, the. I like the Lilo and Stitch. Great movie. Good, good nostalgia there.

[Max]

Oh, here's Max.

[Big Cat]

Okay, here we go. Here's fake ad number one.

[Hank]

So funny. This is such a great call by Jack.

[Roan]

It was a long day. It was a long day. We came out victorious. The birds are champions and I happen to be sweaty. I Happen to be a little sweaty throughout the day. Nolan's a pretty hot place. You know, tensions are flying.

[Hank]

Oh, my God.

[Roan]

But even though I was a little sweaty, even though my boot was a little sweaty, I didn't smell. And you know why? Because Dove men care. Whole body Dio keeps you feeling right all day. It keeps you feeling right all day. Shout out Dove. Shout out the whole body dio.

[Pug]

All right, that one is real. The Truly one was fake.

[Big Cat]

Oh, okay, wait. Let's see the Truly one.

[Roan]

We did it. The birds are champs.

[Big Cat]

Yes, sir.

[Roan]

Come on. It's time to celebrate.

[Big Cat]

Come on. Now.

[Roan]

We're going out in nola.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Roan]

We're gonna have the time of our lives.

[Memes]

Yeah.

[Hank]

And I said, I pretty sober do it.

[Roan]

I did it on the show. I'm gonna do it again for you right now.

[Memes]

Truly is the best feeling.

[Max]

I hope you did this after the dump when you sprayed it down me.

[Big Cat]

Is the best feeling. There's so many holes in that. Oh, let's go.

[Roan]

Shout out Truly. Shout out the birds.

[Memes]

Let's have a night.

[Big Cat]

Yes, sir. Oh, what do we think about Kendrick's halftime performance?

[Max]

I thought it was like a 20 minute advertisement for Drake being a pedophile.

[Big Cat]

Which is way better.

[Hank]

Songs he should have played. Yeah, that. I like Kendrick Lamar, but he has, like, some of his best. It's the Super Bowl. You should play the hits.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Yeah. Well, listen, I. I am a Kendrick Lamar fan. I think he's a really good artist. I don't think it makes a whole lot of sense as a Super bowl halftime show.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I'd agree.

[Max]

But still, it was. It was very funny when he looked at the camera and was like, hey, Drake. And then he threw that line in when he talked about, like, oh, he wants to play the song, but you like to sue people. That was funny. It was also funny comparing that to the NFL playing two separate ads with Tom Brady and Snoop Dogg to stop all hate. And then Kendrick Lamar, his entire halftime performance was just hate. Yeah, they had. They had Serena Williams on stage, who used to date Drake Crip walking, like, rubbing in his face. Somebody said there was someone else on stage that used to be associated with Drake.

[Big Cat]

I didn't think it was the best super bowl halftime show except for not like us at the end was kind of all. We're waiting for that.

[Max]

Yeah, but isn't it weird that the NFL just, like, gave their biggest platform to be like, hey, we're just going to like drake up for 20 minutes at halftime?

[Big Cat]

And no offense to Kendrick Lamar, But I do still think it should have been Lil Wayne. That would have been awesome.

[Max]

That would have been great. Actually. I'm going to agree with our good friend Michael Greer. He has a great idea for the next halftime show.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Max]

I feel like we should get behind it as a podcast.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

ACDC.

[Big Cat]

Ooh.

[Max]

ACDC @ halftime would fucking rock.

[Big Cat]

That would rock. They do kind of like go back and forth where they'll do a newer and then they'll, you know, remember. It was. Who was. It was Bruce Springsteen. That was a long time.

[Max]

A long time ago.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. But they. They do sometimes throw in some old, older acts.

[Max]

If it was ACDC at halftime, just banger after banger.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Also, Taylor Swift got booed.

[Max]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

That was kind of funny.

[Hank]

Also, crazy stat that that was the first time a sitting president attended a Super Bowl.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Hank]

I guess that seems impossible.

[Max]

I guess it's because presidents used to always call the head coach after the Super Bowl. So, like, a president was always involved, but they were just never.

[Hank]

But you wouldn't think they'd be like, let's go to the game.

[Big Cat]

Like, yeah, yeah.

[Hank]

If I was America's biggest event, that's.

[Max]

What I would do.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Same it really. I mean, what a game. Jalen hurts in that Eagles defensive line. The whole Eagles defense.

[Max]

I don't know if this stat's true. Here's a. Here's a new segment apart my take stat that I read online, and I don't care to fact check because I prefer it if it's true.

[Big Cat]

That's every stat.

[Max]

Ready. The Eagles are now 666 and. 666 all time.

[Big Cat]

Whoa.

[Max]

When you include the playoffs.

[Big Cat]

Whoa.

[Max]

There's some draws in there, some ties that aren't included.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Max]

But yeah.

[Big Cat]

Wow.

[Max]

Mark of the beast.

[Big Cat]

So there are signs. So this was all planned.

[Max]

This was satanic.

[Big Cat]

This was all planned to have this exact thing happen. What. What are the people who say that it's rigged for the Chiefs say now?

[Max]

Sorry. No. No, they don't.

[Hank]

You got a good start.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. You had. You did that. The AJ Brown OPI was that. That was your moment. You had one moment. Okay.

[Max]

Honestly, here's what they say. The block got too hot.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Too many people started to catch on to it, so they had to go completely in the opposite direction. And like DeAndre Hopkins says, the refs gave the Eagles the Super Bowl.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Max]

That's what you say if you're a Chiefs rig guy.

[Big Cat]

Question. Does Travis Kelsey retire? Probably not.

[Max]

I don't know.

[Big Cat]

I think it'd be crazy to retire when you're linked to Patrick Mahomes. Even if you aren't what you used to be. Just. You might as well show up for another season and you know you're going to be in the playoffs. We've already given the AFC West.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

But he is clear that. I mean, he, he, he was a non factor in this game. That was also the Eagles defense being incredible. Yeah.

[Max]

I mean, last year, the first thing that he said after the game was over was, we're coming back for three.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Right.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

So he has had it in his head for the last two seasons, like, keep playing and try to get. The goal is to get three Super Bowls in a row. Now that you don't get that, I feel like that was a big driving factor in him spending another offseason, staying in shape to play football.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, this.

[Max]

Yeah, I. I wouldn't be surprised if he did, but I don't know. He can still play.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Max]

He played pretty well in the playoffs.

[Big Cat]

He. The first game of the playoffs.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

The. The last two games, he. He was kind of nothing, I think.

[Max]

I think he'll probably be back, but.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Max]

I don't know.

[Big Cat]

These are the questions.

[Hank]

I think he's done.

[Big Cat]

You think he's done? Yeah, I think Tay. Tay says, hey, let's. Let's go start a family.

[Hank]

Yeah. And like, he doesn't. He's got the podcast. His brother retired. It's like, dude, like, imagine how much better the podcast would be if you retired, too.

[Big Cat]

That would suck, though, being like, Right. You know, in 10, five years from now when he's retired. And it's like, hey, you were. You're on the wrong side of 40 and it was time to retire. But like, if you retire this year and then Mahomes wins another title, it's like, I could like getting off that boat, which would be very painful.

[Max]

I would probably do a load of steroids this offseason.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

And then come back for one more year.

[Big Cat]

One more year.

[Max]

I hope you don't get piss tested.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. And then if you get piss tested.

[Hank]

Well, the NFL needs you for Taylor.

[Big Cat]

Taylor. No.

[Max]

If you get piss tested, you retire.

[Big Cat]

Well, you could also blame it on Taylor and then send the 50s at the NFL.

[Max]

That's true.

[Big Cat]

That. That's probably your. That's actually a perfect crime. Yeah.

[Max]

You're a pervert, Roger.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Hank]

The steroids got shipped to Taylor.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Right. And then the Swifties will just go after Roger and make his life hell. And then they'll just be like, you know what? We can't suspend him.

[Max]

I love that Hank. The old Peyton Manning.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Max]

She was taking him.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Max]

No, but like, what's to stop you if you get the letter and they're like, hey, you have a piss test in 12 hours. Just be like, my body's breaking down at this point. I need to spend more time with my family. I gotta retire.

[Big Cat]

I'm retiring.

[Max]

That would be the way to do it, right?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Like, load up on steroids this off season and then just hope you don't get that note. And if you do, okay, well, then go do your podcast and date the most famous woman in the world. Pretty good alternative.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I got a robot question we want to talk about. Josh Allen, MVP in a second rowback question. R H, O, B A, C K.com promo code. Take 20% off your first purchase. Q, zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com promo code take. My robot question is actually for memes. Memes.

[Max]

Memes.

[Big Cat]

You had some quarterback news today. Aaron Rodgers allegedly flew to New York to talk to jets ownership, and they said, nuh, we don't want you. What's. What's happening?

[Pug]

It's over.

[Big Cat]

It is.

[Pug]

The Aaron Rodgers experience is officially over.

[Big Cat]

Damn.

[Pug]

And the devonte Adams, unfortunately.

[Max]

So you think that's definitely a package deal? Because I was talking to memes earlier and I was like, memes, how do you. How do you sell yourself? Because I feel like you're going to spend the next three months just saying names, just muttering names to yourself.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

And he's like, well, it's gonna be great because we're gonna get rid of devonte Adams. And I was like, wait, like three months ago, devonte Adams was the solution to everything.

[Big Cat]

Now.

[Max]

Now getting rid of him is the solution?

[Pug]

It is the solution because if you look at the. The cap hit, it's $35 million, and you could get five guys with that money compared to one aging receiver and.

[Max]

All the toppings and a giant bag full of fries.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it's a good on top.

[Pug]

That's true.

[Big Cat]

So what are you going to do? You can draft a quarterback.

[Pug]

You can draft a quarterback, but if we're going to suck, I would rather just have fun watching football and just go with Jameis Winston for 17 games.

[Big Cat]

James. Love that James.

[Max]

Bridge, but bridge. And win a Super Bowl.

[Pug]

He said. He said on the part of my take interview that he wants to be a bridge quarterback and he wants to win a Super Bowl. I'm Sold. He's the guy. 17 games. Nobody's given him a shot for 17 games since the Buccaneers. Actually, the Saints did. He started off five. Two, beat the number one team in the nfc, then got hurt.

[Max]

Seriously injured.

[Pug]

Yes, seriously injured. But if it comes to the jets, starts all 17 games, number one. See a Super Bowl.

[Big Cat]

Wow.

[Max]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

Wow.

[Max]

And the playbooks out there on how you beat Mahomes, do we have.

[Big Cat]

Can you pull up the super bowl odds for on DraftKings next year? I would imagine the Eagles are the favorites to win the super bowl next year. I wonder where some of the other teams land. It's always fun to look at these. All right, so the Eagles right now are plus 600. The Chiefs are plus 700. Is all in DraftKings, Bills plus 700. Ravens plus 700. Lions nine to one. And then it starts falling off to the Niners. Fifteen. Where are you? Commanders 18 to one. The Bears are 40 to one. The Patriots are 80 to one. And the jets are 130 to one. Oh, Chargers. Shane 28 to one.

[Pug]

We had good odds this year. And suck dick.

[Big Cat]

That's true. That's true. Who's. Who's the bottom? Titans. Titans and giants.

[Max]

Giants. Yeah. 20,000 giants.

[Big Cat]

I saw that clip of Saquon. Just shotgunning a beer so fast and yeah, it's been a bad year for the Giants.

[Max]

Not great.

[Big Cat]

Not. Not a great year for the Giants. So our good friend Josh Allen won mvp. Congrats to Josh. That was awesome.

[Max]

Josh.

[Big Cat]

That was awesome.

[Max]

Very happy for Josh.

[Big Cat]

I was very excited for Josh. I was so hyped. So we went and saw him. We got to hang out with him for a few minutes after he won the mvp.

[Max]

You got kind of emotional because right after they gave it to him, because I heard some sniffles and.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I couldn't sleep.

[Max]

I could. Yeah, I could tell you I was.

[Big Cat]

Up till like 3 in the morning just thinking about Josh winning the MVP. I was so fucking pumped for. So congrats, Josh. I am very, very happy for him. Yes, we all are.

[Max]

Very cool to see.

[Big Cat]

It's. It's. It sucks that he hasn't been able to get to a Super bowl. But, you know, winning mvp, being the best player in the league for a year is pretty awesome.

[Max]

So at the after party that we were lucky enough to get into, Josh was there and he had a reception line like it was his wedding, where you greet everybody that came out there, you say you, you know, say hi to him for about 5 seconds, shake their hand, move on to the Next person. Honestly, must be pretty exhausting to win an mvp.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Max]

That night must be very tiring.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Max]

So we get up. We hand our phone. Yeah. Me, Hank, and Big Cat go up to Josh, shake his hand. I think he was pumped to see us. We hand the phone to Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is standing next to us.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Max]

And we're like, fitzy, can you take this picture? He's like, yeah, I got you boys. Took, like, I don't know, six pictures. Probably spent 10 seconds taking the pictures, handed the phone back. We look at it. My eyes are just closed in most of them. Mine weren't the complete opposite of big cats. And we're like, hey, Josh, can we take some more pictures real quick? And Josh was like, yeah, absolutely.

[Big Cat]

Guys, Fitzy also took some selfies for my phone.

[Max]

He took some.

[Big Cat]

So I have some selfies in my phone of. Of Fitzy.

[Hank]

Big Cat are wearing T shirts. PFD was wearing at least a collared shirt. I think we were the only people out of, like, 500 wearing a T shirt. I walked in and. And I'm wearing a T shirt with a joker on it and a. And a purple hat.

[Max]

Hank, that's a. That's a $2,000 shirt that I'm wearing.

[Hank]

And I've never felt more out of place in my entire life.

[Big Cat]

It was so hot in New Orleans, and I was so excited that I actually showed up in a sweatshirt. And I just threw it out. I just threw. I left it. I just threw it on the ground. I was like, I'm just not going to have this anymore.

[Max]

Get so pumped.

[Big Cat]

I was so pumped. I've been a Josh Allen fan. Clearly, so fucking.

[Max]

He was nervous beforehand, too. He. He was grinding his teeth, and they're about to make the announcement. I was like, ah, he's so nervous. I just hope he wins.

[Big Cat]

I wanted him to win really bad. All right, should we wrap up with who's Back of the Week? Who's Back of the Week is brought to you by our friends at Reese's.

[Big Cat]

Okay, Hank, my who's back of the.

[Hank]

Week is Dicky V. Yeah, Dicky V. He announced the Duke Clemson game. Duke jokes. But Dicky V, after a battle with cancer, is back on the mic. And. And that was beautiful to see.

[Max]

It is. He's so excited. I love Dicky.

[Big Cat]

It was awesome to see him back.

[Max]

Good for the sport.

[Hank]

I was like, all right, it's college basketball time. And. And I was lucky enough to be greeted to Dicky V's first game back.

[Max]

He was college basketball for a very, very long time. He was the first person you thought of.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Does Cooper Flag have a sweating problem?

[Hank]

He works hard.

[Big Cat]

That's the second, I think. Duke's only lost three games, but two of the three losses. He has tripped and fallen at the end of the game because he's sweating so much.

[Max]

I'd say they got to step up their tail game their mop game.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Rico Bosco is. Is Duke one of his guys? Is he like, a friend of the program? I don't think they should ask him.

[Big Cat]

I don't think so. He's just a Nate Oats guy.

[Hank]

Also, Wu Tang is back.

[Big Cat]

Oh.

[Max]

Oh, how?

[Hank]

They're coming out with a new album.

[Max]

Love that.

[Big Cat]

Hell yes.

[Max]

37 chambers.

[Big Cat]

Don't let Martin Shkreli buy this one.

[Max]

Yeah, yeah. Like all of Wu Tang.

[Hank]

Yeah, I think so.

[Max]

Well, not odb, right?

[Big Cat]

Rip, rip, Pft. Your who's back?

[Max]

My who's back? I Actually had an insult stat, and I was going to do an insult stat, but it doesn't feel right because it's about the Sixers. Oh, and you can't. Tonight is not the night to. On Philadelphia.

[Big Cat]

Let's hear it.

[Max]

All right. Insult stat. That I'm not going to say. That I was going to say, but I'm not going to. Out of respect for the City of Champions tonight, since joining the Sixers, Paul George has uploaded more podcast clips to YouTube. 228. Then field goals made. Oh, 191.

[Big Cat]

Oh, no.

[Max]

I'll say this.

[Big Cat]

Respect the grind.

[Max]

His social guy is doing a great job.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Like 228 podcast clips. Like, you know, you know, you know how to generate revenue.

[Big Cat]

That's pretty good.

[Max]

You're looking for your future after you're done playing. But then the field goals made.191. That doesn't sound quite as great.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I saw an insult tweet tonight that hurt me, but also was very accurate. It said if you ever wondered what it would look like if the Bears had drafted Patrick Mahomes, this is what it is.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

So that was an insult tweet. Yeah.

[Max]

You got to. You have to tie everything. If you don't have a dog in the fight. You have to find a way to make the super bowl about your team a little bit.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I mean, I. That was just some random guy who I. I think he. I don't even think he was a Bears fan. I think he was just stating the fact that this is what it would look like. Yeah.

[Max]

Yeah, probably. So that's. That's not going to be my who's Back of the week, but it was going to be until Philly won.

[Big Cat]

Do you want to say what you. What you said in the gambling cave about the commanders? How you happy? Yeah.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

You have.

[Max]

Also, if you are a fan of a team that's in the same division as a Super bowl champion, you have to figure out a way to spin. Zone it a little bit.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

It's good that the Eagles won.

[Big Cat]

This is what PFT said in the middle of the game.

[Max]

It's good because, number one now people in the off season aren't going to be sucking the Commander's dicks so much and picking them to win the NFC East. If you have the. The reigning champion, you have to give them that respect. So I'm glad that that. That's not going to be the case. Also, the Commander's loss doesn't look so bad right now.

[Big Cat]

True.

[Max]

Because the Eagles are a really fucking good team.

[Big Cat]

True, True. All right. My. Who's back is yet again another ridiculous fallout from the Luca trade. Patrick Dumont, who's the owner or governor. Sorry. Of the Dallas Mavericks, had a statement, and he said, in my mind, the way teams win is by focus, by having the right character, by having the right culture and having the right dedication to work as hard as possible to create a championship winning outcome. And if you're not doing that, you're going to lose. If you look at the greats in the league, the people you and I grew up with, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, they worked really hard every day with a singular focus to win. And if you don't have that, it doesn't work out. If you don't have that, you shouldn't be part of the Dallas Mavericks. Shaquille O'Neal was one of the names he said there noted, I will basically not work out all summer and I'll get in shape when the season starts.

[Max]

Starts play my way into shape.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it was. I mean, it's still crazy that we're. They somehow are making it worse. The worst trade ever. They're making it work. Yeah.

[Max]

He's out for several weeks, maybe a month.

[Big Cat]

I did also.

[Hank]

Dalton Connect is back.

[Max]

Yeah, don't get good.

[Hank]

That's got to be awkward.

[Max]

So, yeah, I was thinking about this Dalton Connect, the trade.

[Hank]

I think there was medical issues, so the trade got vetoed.

[Max]

Yeah. So he gets traded to the heart. Williams.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Mark Williams has to pass a phys physical. Allegedly. He did not pass that physical.

[Big Cat]

Correct.

[Max]

But all they said was, like, there was some I don't know, clause in the trade that was not satisfied. So now Dalton Connect has to go back to Los Angeles. The trade deadline has passed. What's that like going back in the locker room after they traded you?

[Big Cat]

A little awkward.

[Max]

Like you. Like you're a cat that you tried to just drop off on the outskirts of town.

[Big Cat]

And he found his way back.

[Max]

Found his way back there.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah. Wait, where's Ben Simmons going?

[Pug]

He's on the Clippers. He got bought out.

[Big Cat]

Oh, perfect.

[Hank]

He made like $84 million with the Nets.

[Big Cat]

Seeing the. The Luca thing. One last thing. Mavs muse. Shout out Mavs muse on Twitter. He said, boy, Mahomes sure is struggling in the championships. Perhaps they should trade him in the dead of night and call him fat on the way out. It's pretty much. That would be what happens.

[Max]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

If they trade him homes in the next, like, week and they're like, yeah, he's. He's fat. We had to do it.

[Max]

Or Andy Reid.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Can't do it. Okay. Good show, boys. Football season's over.

[Max]

What season is it now? Vacation.

[Big Cat]

Basketball season, but, yeah, it is vacation. We are. So this week we will have a show on Wednesday. Pretty big guests on Wednesday. And then we will have our Dungeons and Dragons episode on Friday with Tim Woods. Nick joins us, and that will be. We're. We're going on vacation for a few days. We. We take a vacation after football season, and then we'll be back on Monday. We're going to do a zoom episode on Monday, and we have a extended NBA preview with Ryan Rosillo.

[Max]

Yeah, it's a really good preview.

[Big Cat]

So that will be the schedule. But regular show on Wednesday, we'll have a show every single day. We don't miss shows. But we will be taking a short vacation. Where are you going, Hank?

[Hank]

Arizona.

[Big Cat]

Nice.

[Hank]

Golf.

[Big Cat]

Golf. How many rounds?

[Hank]

Four.

[Big Cat]

Fuck yes.

[Max]

Love that.

[Big Cat]

Also, Max is taking a vacation the week after we take a vacation.

[Max]

Yep. He's going where?

[Big Cat]

He's going to Tahoe. Yeah.

[Max]

Tahoe.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

So me and Big Cat, this is the second year that we've done this. The first time was in Normandy.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

We accidentally scheduled our vacations to go to the exact same place without telling each other where we're going.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. So if you. If you see us, we're not gonna say where we're going, but if you see us and you. Because I get it every time. I got it in France when people were like, they'd. They saw me on the streets of France, they're like, where's Pft? I was like, dude, I don't know. We're on vacation. This time, it actually will work. If you see one of us on vacation and you ask where the other one is, we just be like, yeah.

[Max]

He'S down the hall.

[Big Cat]

Right over there. Yeah. Look down the.

[Max]

Completely unintentional.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, but we will. We'll have fun. Going to go out to dinner one night.

[Max]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

Okay. Numbers also Wednesday, maybe. We pick up 40. We pick up some hobbies. Now the football's over.

[Max]

Yeah. So this.

[Big Cat]

We'll bring some hobbies.

[Max]

That's what we did last year. What are you going to do with no football?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Max]

Should I text Pug? Pug should get a say in this, right?

[Big Cat]

Yeah. See if he can. Can submit a number. Also, I'm getting ro roasted on Twitter for calling it a score bug.

[Max]

What do you mean?

[Big Cat]

That's what it is.

[Max]

It's scoreboard?

[Big Cat]

Yes. Some guy said, the fuck is a score bug? It's called a scoreboard. That shit is called a scoreboard. That's just not true.

[Hank]

Yeah, no.

[Max]

All right, Pug says 99. Max says 11.

[Big Cat]

This guy's so wrong, it's not even close. Scoreboard is in the stadium. Okay? Pug, 99, max, 11 numbers for everyone else.

[Pug]

33, 55.

[Big Cat]

5, 3, 21. Jack, 55. Did you guys. Did you guys know Jack's last name?

[Max]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Wiper.

[Max]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

It's pretty cool. I like it.

[Max]

Jack Wiper.

[Big Cat]

I like it.

[Max]

I'm not gonna do. I'm not gonna do a translate still.

[Big Cat]
