Transcript

[Pat McAfee]

Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome on this magical overreaction. Monday, September 15, 2025. This program begins now.

[Ty Schmidt]

Football.

[Pat McAfee]

It is the greatest. We just finished the second NFL Sunday slate. We have two Monday night football games tonight. One of them will start at around 7:30, the other one starting way too late. None of us are going to be able to watch it. But if we do happen to be up at that time, we got two games tonight that are going to be magical until about 2. And then when we wake up tomorrow, we'll be able to wrap up the entire week two of the NFL slate. But intend until then we'll just have to chit chat about what happened yesterday. Buccaneers, Texans, Chargers, Raiders. College ball was great. The NFL Sunday was great. I was watching red zone at the beginning early because we had to travel downtown to Indianapolis because the Colts hosted their first game of the season. Their second game of the season. I'm sorry. And the Broncos came in there first and only non one o' clock game of the year. Mm. Okay. So one o' clock slate across the board. This is a four o'. Clocker.

[Connor Rogers]

Big one.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Had to take last year. All one o'. Clock.

[Ty Schmidt]

That's right.

[Pat McAfee]

So kind of nice. This kind of did change the entire routine a little bit yesterday. So I found myself like all right at the very beginning. I might have to catch on it then I'm going to drive down, I'm going to catch back up. I was on red zone. The first six minutes of red zone were just. Then they said something. Maria Taylor last night said something along the lines of like highest scoring at the NFL Sunday for the through the first 10 games ever or second highest of all time. It was explosive Yesterday early from 1 o' clock all the way through the ending.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Sunday Night Football, must watch, must stay awake type game last night. What are the Vikings? I think we're all going to try to figure out. Shout out to the Falcons. We just keep that thing moving forward. But it's not just me here chit chatting today. No. We got a great group of people stopping by. Shefter will join us in about 14 minutes or so. Then we have Terence Crawford in the second hour. Bud Fresh.

[Darius J. Butler]

Wow.

[Pat McAfee]

Out of a massive Saturday night in Las Vegas where he is the undisputed super Middleweight champion of the world. 42:0 After a massive win over Canelo Alvarez in what people are calling the fight of the century. And now he's being called the fighter of the century. We don't know all the Financials. But we're thinking bud won potentially $50 million. Correct. So we are incredibly thankful that he is joining us fresh off a massive win. People thought maybe the weight disparage was going to be a problem. Canelo a little heavier. Obviously Terrence had to go up afterwards. Terrence Crawford said Canelo wasn't even the hardest hitter. You know, a lot of people think because Canelo is a hard hitter and he's heav than Terrence, that could potentially feel a little different whenever that thing's coming at the body. Now, Terrence wasn't getting peppered too much. He took a couple shots to the head for sure. But he said it wasn't the hardest hitter he's ever fought. And he looked very comfortable prepared for that entire thing. And now Bud can say he's the greatest fighter on earth and he should feel very comfortable saying that. We'll get a chance to chat with him about 140. Then we have Adam Ray, you know, comedian, you know him, he's Dr. Phil, Joe Biden. He was also Vince McMahon in Young Rock, amongst other things. He's in Indianapolis, was at the game with us. He'll join us for the third hour whenever we go digital in this entire thing. The boys are here. Talks to the table at Boston Conner. Well, well, well. New England Patriots get a big time wine. Schmidt, congrats to you as well. Thank you.

[Ty Schmidt]

Thanks.

[Pat McAfee]

Now one half of the hammer done. Cowboys AP tone. Oh, no. No. Oh, no. Pittsburgh Steelers lose their home opener against the Seattle Seahawks. We will certainly chat about that throughout the day. Pittsburgh Steele fans a little bit, a little bit intrigued on what's about to take place. Who are we more mad at? Okay, who is it? Justin Fields kind of did his thing.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yes, he did.

[Connor Rogers]

Real good part.

[Pat McAfee]

More than Sam Donald just kind of does his thing.

[Tone Diggs]

Yeah, more than kind of.

[Pat McAfee]

We got a 41 year old quarterback, two picks. Certainly problematic. The hell is going on with the defensive side of the ball. There's a lot of combos happening in Pittsburgh. Are you okay? 1 to 10, panic level, 10 being full panic, 1 being before the season when you guys were winning the Super.

[Tone Diggs]

Bowl, Panic level was at a 10 yesterday. Then I heard my leader, Aaron Rodgers say it's only week two, we're good. So I'm back down to a zero.

[Pat McAfee]

Wow. That's the type of leadership they don't talk about with Aaron Rodgers.

[Ty Schmidt]

He doesn't mean that.

[Pat McAfee]

What are you talking about?

[Ty Schmidt]

He does not mean that. I. I get it. And you're right because I've Been in those shoes before. Hey, don't panic. Don't panic. This Guy's out of 10. He's out of 10.

[Pat McAfee]

There's.

[Ty Schmidt]

He may not say it, but we all know this guy is out of 10.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, as he should be. Maybe there's another team that maybe should be panicking a bit more in this particular Thunderdome. Let's go to the other half of the Hammer, Don. Cowboys. Bubba Gumpino. The Dolphins are dead already, pal. I saw you chanting NFL over the weekend, and I see you're wearing a West Virginia tarp. What's going on for the rest of the season? It's a quick one. It was a quick NFL season this year.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, I'd argue it was over after the first quarter at the Loud House, to be fair. I mean, this team is absolute shite. Willie Gay is maybe the best player at camp. He's played two snaps all season. Came on the field yesterday, makes a tackle, makes another tackle for a five yard loss. Doesn't play again. Then two is throwing picks all over the place. Missing Tyreek Hill. It's just. It's a disaster.

[Pat McAfee]

I saw McDaniel's head down. You guys were in the game, though. An actual dog fight with the New England Patriots. You guys were in that thing. You might have won that thing a couple times. We take a cake, a punt, then they take a kick. I mean, that was like an electrifying game. But now we're celebrating Mike Vrabel's first win as New England Patriot head coach.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, you're damn right. We're sober in drake.

[Pat McAfee]

May, baby.

[Connor Rogers]

19 and 23, 230. He's running all over the place. There's a very similar play to Anthony Richardson where he got blitzed off the side. Drake sees it, immediately escapes the pocket. I mean, it's just one of those things where you look at it and maybe we don't this year, but, you know, I can see it. You know, you can see a Lombardi on the horizon. You can see Drake, May and Mike Vrabel raising one together. And after the game, you know, not everyone sees the post game stuff. It's not for everybody. Vrabel said, hey, it will always be all about the players. I don't care. That's my first one. This is you boys. Him and May are very, very close. They had a great little interaction. And that throw right there, that's the play of the day. Down by five late in the third quarter. Patriots need to have one Ramondre Stevenson, who actually kind of revealed his father Passed away. It's been real tough for him during the off season. This was kind of his play. He said his dad would have loved the game he had. Didn't score. But here's the, here's the cookie right there.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, oh, oh. Nice try.

[Connor Rogers]

Nice try, baby. We got an athlete at QB now.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Drake May good, maybe Patriots bad was a thought yesterday as the Miami Dolphins were winning that game and then all of a sudden the Patriots come back and win. It's like, nope, we got the hit factor. What are we, what are we even talking about? We're not going to lose. These games have been magical and the storylines are obviously developing great. Know if any of those teams are going to be in the first 15? Let's go to nine year NFL vet Darius J. Baller. D bus. Great football yesterday. Across the board, the NFL is swinging a hot bat. So is college ball.

[Darius J. Butler]

It was, you know, obviously we're all in the lothouse yesterday, so it was hard to even see outside of what was going on in that building with the start that this team has had, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Some beat downs kind of around the league. We got a lot of things to cover.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. On that note, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the first 15. Please put the clock up.

[Darius J. Butler]

Here we go.

[Pat McAfee]

And let's get started. Number five to debut points, the best brought some beatdowns across the board. Now obviously the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson, they're good. Chuck Pagano back in a much better way this week than he was maybe after week one. He's celebrating. The greatest passing quarterback in the history of the NFL. Lamar Jackson's passer rating is now the highest in the history of the league. Look at him holding the ball right there. No laces, doesn't need them. Oh yeah. He also happens to run a 4, 2 and his most elusive guy on the field. So not only can he get it done as a running back at quarterback with his arm being the best ever, he's also got an entire team around him filled with absolute dogs. They end up beating the hell out of the Browns. 41:17 dBut your thoughts on this game.

[Darius J. Butler]

I mean, this game just absolutely dominated on the offensive side of ball. A lot of chirping. I think con man touched on it last week. A lot of chirping between both these two teams in the headlines and the Ravens got it done. Browns did do a good, good job with Derrick Henry kind of sealing him up. But Lamar Jackson, you mentioned the all time leader passing raider rating and also the all time leader at the quarterback position when it comes to rushing yards. So a beat down within the division here. Ravens Brides.

[Pat McAfee]

Let's talk about in the division beat Dons. Guess who's back, Back again. Brand new Lions are back. Tell some friends. MCDC, MC DC MCDC's got the boys buzzing. The Detroit Lions 52, Chicago Bears 21. At the beginning though, Chicago Bears scored 14 points early. So it looked like, oh no, the Lions stink. This is the same old lines. Maybe Kelvin Shepard, former teammate of ours, friend of ours, should not be handling his press conferences the way he's handling them. Maybe he was speaking a little bit too much. Cart before the horse where he's saying, we don't make excuses, play football. Had a little bit of an edge to him. Hey, you haven't done anything as a D is what some people were saying about this man. And then 14 points are scored pretty early by the Chicago Bears. Everybody's like, wait a minute, is this Lions team going to let Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson come into their house, roar all over their faces in a revenge game? And then all of a sudden something just went like that and poof, the brand new Lions showed back up. Same old Lions for a while. Then the brand new Lions showed up and I'll tell you, they just kept on going.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, they did.

[Pat McAfee]

And they ran that shit down their throat. Ben Johnson obviously coming back into town. Welco. Welcome back, Bob. We appreciate you going to the division rival. Out of all the different places you could have won, players mentioned that, fans mentioned that, and mcdc treated the game that way. Are we all the way back to just believing the Lions are the brand new Lions and just get rid of what we saw in Week 1 against the Green Bay packers, who might be the best team in ball? D bugs.

[Darius J. Butler]

The packers might be the best team in ball. Yeah, I'm all the way back on the Lions. I wasn't too far out. It's week one, you know, Week one is all about just getting a win. How can you figure out a way to get a win? Obviously they didn't get it done. It takes time. It takes time to build some continuity with the play callers, with the players. Jared Goff looked like his old self, getting the ball around, had the running game going. Gibbs, Montgomery, St. Brown, they all scored, I believe, for the ninth time, which is the most by any trio in NFL history. Saw that on the.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, no.

[Darius J. Butler]

So I love that goof getting in there and I love the saltiness. I love the saltiness by the Lions fans. Ben Johnson coming back. Way to welcome back. Putting a 50 burger up on the board.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, 52 must be nice foxy today. A little bit better than one week ago from today. Yeah. Were all the back. All the way back. Super bowl is on. Three touchdowns for St. Brown, a touchdown for jmo. A touchdown for Sonic and Knuckles. Jared Goff, five touchdown passes. No, not as in cheese. Jared Goff, five touchdown passes. No turnovers. They looked incredible. I am all the way back. Congrats to Detroit. We didn't want to celebrate your demise, but it did look like it was coming right in front of our eyes. Oh, yeah. And instead you're all the way back. Did mcdc and them lines move that rock out of the cave? Sure felt like it there. Yes. They are all the way back. That was a huge statement for week two. And then let's talk about the team that also you talk about the packers maybe being the best team in ball. There's a team up there in Buffalo that had hard knocks. That's the current mvp. Buffalo Bills just absolutely smacked the New York Jets. As we're watching this game take place, we're all wondering to ourselves, oh no, this might not be good for Steelers. This might not be good for the Steelers because the jets looked very good against Pittsburgh Steelers. Justin Fields all over the place, spinning it, running it. The defensive intensity and accountability for the New York jets was exactly what we thought it would be under Aaron Glenn's head coaching leadership. But then inevitably what happened was the Buffalo Beals were the Buffalo Beals. They end up winning 30 to 10 over the new York Jets. Couple division blowouts here. What does that say to you? D Bugs.

[Darius J. Butler]

You know, divisional opponents, they mean a little bit more during the season. You want to send a message to everyone and one of my favorite things I love to to see in the National Football League when a guy who's deserving some money gets his money and then he shows up and shows out early and often. That was James Cook yesterday. Wasn't pretty. As far as the stat sheet for Josh Allen, if you had some parlays or some prop bets, you probably didn't hit a bunch of them. But he did his thing, took care of the ball, had some runs, had a little scary injury there with his nose, so. But he came back, finished the game. Just an all around dominant performance in the AFC east with the Bills over the New York Football Jets.

[Pat McAfee]

I think Josh Allen probably appreciates the fact that he's gonna have the photo with the.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, yeah, the thing.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, the flat guy. Yeah. He's probably not fun. I'm not saying it's a good thing. And it's gonna suck to sleep, you know, that freezing. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[Ty Schmidt]

And we're getting into cold season, too, Josh.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, Vitamin C. Get it. He can't be sneezing with that entire situation. Obviously getting punched in the face is no fun. He's tough, son. I mean, there's no questions asked. So there were some beatdowns yesterday. Congrats to the teams that showcased that they are great either or will continue to do as such. Let's go number four. A team that everybody thought was going to be great spent a lot of money this weekend or this offseason. Oh, Burrow breaks his toe. They're saying he's out at least three months. Oh, Joe, long time. He was healthy in training camp. They paid his wide receivers. They get Hendrickson back. Shemar Stewart said okay, Doug Claus, everything that was kind of tumultuous ended up being smooth sailing. This is going to be the best Cincinnati bank. Holy hell. They won a game. Yeah. Now they got home. Sam Hubbard's the ruler of the jungle. Need to be calling a crowd. Get in there a little bit earlier, huh? We want this place to be electrifying as Trevor Lawrence, Liam Cohen come into town and they get a win. Congrats to the Bengals getting a huge win. Could have lost that game multiple times. Did a huge win, and that's a positive. This, this. They can't buy a break.

[Ty Schmidt]

No, they can't.

[Pat McAfee]

This team cannot buy a break. In Cincinnati. They try to buy their players out. They are trying to pay everybody. They're trying to run a new business. We're going to sell the rights to the stadium and we're going to build an indoor facility. They're trying, I think, to become a team that is, you know, kind of showing respect to the football gods. Like, hey, we understand the power of having an NFL team and responsibility of having a team in our city of Cincinnati. We want to do right. They were doing it. It seems like they were doing it all. They had everybody. And then, boom, week two, Joe Burrow was 7 of 13 for 76 yards in a TUD. Okay, let's assume that just continues and he just has a great game in front of Sam Hover, the ruler of the jungle. Yeah. And he gets standard tackle here by Eric Armstead. Bang, toe out three months. That sucks for the Bengals, but that's a huge storyline for the AFC going forward.

[Tone Diggs]

Yeah, it is and it does. It sucks so bad.

[Adam Ray]

They were doing.

[Tone Diggs]

They were doing everything. Pat, you said it.

[Pat McAfee]

They.

[Tone Diggs]

They paid everyone who we said you couldn't. You can't pay all those guys and keep them. They won the first two weeks of the year. They never win the first two weeks ever. And then this, this happens to Joe Burrow. And I saw this edit last night and I did not like it.

[Pat McAfee]

It was.

[Tone Diggs]

Yeah, it was Joe Burrow and it was. It flashed Andrew Luck and then it was Joe Burrow and then it flashed Andrew Luck, Joe Burrow.

[Connor Rogers]

It kept going. It was. It was intense.

[Tone Diggs]

I was like, oh, no. These guys, they started their career with all these injuries. They're this incredibly talented, but they were behind potentially an O line that. That isn't going to protect him. And we have these stats from Schefter that he then put out this. This morning, and those don't look good either. I'm just hoping Joe comes back healthy and it's not a similar situation to Andrew where he's like just. He's just taking all these hits because he is unbelievable. He's great for the league and this sucks for Cincinnati and hopefully Browning, you know, can. Can lead them to the promised land as well.

[Pat McAfee]

We remember whenever he got into the league.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

It felt as if he was trying to be on a jacked up segment. Yes. With him being the one getting jacked up every game.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

And then he came out and spoke. He was like, I like to get hit. I feel like I'm in a football game then. Whereas one time against Philadelphia Eagles, we actually saw his body move and his helmet and head stayed in one spot and then he got slingshotted into the ground. He leaves game, then he comes back, I think leads him to overtime in this entire thing. His durability and his toughness is always something that's talked about, but anytime a quarterback's toughness in the NFL is talked about, it's normally because he's getting his ass beat. Right. That's why you would bring up the toughness and what the ranks are there for. The offensive line. I believe that was a Hembo stat through an Adam Schefter Twitter account. I don't know what they're judging on. I'm assuming offensive linemen would say, well, that's not real. It wasn't my job. Nonetheless, we've seen Joe get his ass kicked and we've hated it since day one. Yeah. And now I'm not saying this particular situation went to toe. That seemed like it's pretty standard tackle happening. It seems like misfortune if I've ever seen it. Yeah, but in the entirety of it all, you pay everybody. Do you take care of the O line. They made some moves, they tried their best, but it's like this might be an entire career of this, which we don't hope or wish upon anybody. Godspeed, Joe. And sorry. Godspeed to Bengals fans, too. You're undefeated.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

And Jake Browning's played before, obviously, because of similar situations.

[Connor Rogers]

Well, and that's kind of the silver lining here. It's like two things. One, Jake Browning, unbelievable. He's proven he's won games. Two, Joe Burrow's house not getting robbed anymore because he's going to be home a lot. Okay, good. Silver lining.

[Pat McAfee]

I think he'll still be with the team, you know.

[Connor Rogers]

Well, I don't know. I mean, I think he should kind of stay home.

[Pat McAfee]

I didn't like that those people robbed his house. Did you hear about who it was? No, who was it? Do a little research. Pretty scary stuff. All right, let's go to number three. For the brand in Aubrey is unbelievable. Are you not entertained? This man is like a gladiator in there doing things that nobody thought was possible. We actually got a chance to talk to him a little bit earlier today. Let's talk about this past weekend. Yesterday, obviously, the 64 yarder, absolutely insane. Different ball flight than you normally hit. Yeah. Why was that, you think? Did you try it, or is this a new kick for you? No, that's a little power fade. I was just trying to add a little bit more to it and kind of came off my foot a little funky and it had that little slide and got nervous for a second, but then it corrected itself and got back on its path.

[Tone Diggs]

I have a. I don't really try.

[Pat McAfee]

To do it, but when we get back there, I've started to notice. I do take that little hitch step to give myself a little bit more behind the ball. You can see it there. But, yeah, I don't try to do it. I'm more of a field kicker. I don't watch a whole lot of film of myself. If you. If you pay attention closely, not any single kick is exactly the same for me as the last one. There's a lot of times, especially early in the season, where my soccer form takes back over and I kind of land on my kicking foot. And those are the ones I try to get away from because those. Those are bad, but they tend to still go. Go in. I don't know. I try to try to keep it as similar as possible, but you see Rush coming out of your peripherals. Then you try to get off your plant foot real quick and it makes your form look funky.

[Tone Diggs]

So as long as it's going in, I'm happy. And I'm trying not to be too.

[Pat McAfee]

Robotic, but try to get myself in the same position every time and make it. Make it kick. Yeah, you do. He does 82 at 91 on his career thus far, which is 90%, which I assume is the best ever to start a career. He is unflappable. We had a full 15 minute conversation with him that we will certainly put out, but him chatting about this particular kick and saying, yeah, I mean, that thing just started going. I was hoping. Yeah, I was hoping as well. He just makes kicks. And once we kind of got done with that conversation with him earlier, he has the makeup, he has the brain of one of those guys, you know, and it's crazy that he's this new to the football world and has already made a name for himself, but he's unbelievable. And obviously the Cowboys need him. Con man. Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

And it's lucky. Like, if you're a Cowboys fan, do not take this for granted. As a Patriots fan, I live through Adam Venteri, lived through Steven Gostowski. I just assume, like, okay, so I could go out there and probably kick a ball and we'd be okay. That's not the case. If you're a Cowboys fan, you got the guy. You should hang your hat on having the guy. When you mention Dak Prescott and Ceedee Lamb and all these superstars mention Brandon Aubrey because he's going to win you games for the next 15 years. And when he's gone, you are going to miss him. Like you've never imagined you'd miss a kicker before. The Patriots damn near lost a game yesterday because of two missed extra points. Brandon Arbery is nails. And the. The conversation is unbelievable. He's like a dude. It's sweet.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Very much so.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah. Football guy.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, he. And he said he's very recent that he started to, like, feel like, oh, yeah, football, you know, this year. He said, yeah, he's so new to it. It's like he was soccer, soccer, soccer, soccer, soccer. That was what it was supposed to be. And then if my memory serves me right, him and his wife were watching something. Yeah. Either on YouTube or on. And it was kicking. And she was almost like. Like, can't you kind of could you. And he just started. He was traveling like an hour or two hours, four times a day for like two years. Just Finding the stroke. Getting good, getting good, getting good. Then he gets his opportunity. He just never misses so good. And it's. What a beast, especially for the Cowboys because they're always going to be on national television. He becomes the first ever kicker to hit a walk off game tire at the end of regulation, then a walk off game winner at the end of overtime. Obviously zeros on the board across both of them. It's either do or die seemingly for kickers every single kick. There's been some ass kickers in the NFL this year. Yeah, I don't like that. Brandon Aubrey's making up for it on the other side. All right. The champs is still the champs. You know, I always say the Chiefs are still the Chiefs. And there was moments in this game yesterday where I'm like, yes, the Chiefs is all the way back. The Chiefs is this still the Chiefs. And Patrick Mahomes had some magical moments. Travis Kelsey had some insane plays and then obviously did something that he never does. I mean, he's like most surehanded guy maybe in the NFL. So him bat one in the red zone as they're going in for a touchdown. To become a pick the other way is just a nightmare, absolute nightmare for the Kansas City Chiefs. And on that note, Philadelphia Eagles did what the Philadelphia Eagles do. Philadelphia Eagles get a huge win. Saquon obviously is going to do Saquon stuff. Jalen's doing Jalen stuff. Nick Sirianni goes into the kingdom and gets a dub. After an ass beating in the Super Bowl, I think I learned that the Chiefs might not be as bad as maybe we thought the Chiefs were going to be and that the Eagles might be the real deal, brother. What are your thoughts, Ty?

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, no, I mean, I, I think if you're a Chiefs fan, you're definitely not hitting the panic button, but I think it, it might be time for, you know, cause for a little concern. First time in Mahomes's career that they've lost three games in a row, if you include the playoffs. First time The Chiefs have started 02 since 2014. Coincidentally, that was the last time they made the playoffs. And you mentioned it. It's kind of like Kelsey doing things that just he never does does. Mahomes is their leading rusher again. Like he's kind of got to put everything on his shoulders right now. And then on the flip side with the Eagles, a lot of people after yesterday saying, you know what, that might be the game that finally gets the tush because you got guys moving, you know, it's Just they, they literally every time they need to pick up a first down on third and short or fourth and short, guess what? They get it. People are tired of the rugby stuff. And that's what Schefter said. He said the Eagles did or the, the Chiefs didn't lose that game yesterday. They lost that game at the league meetings when you know, the NFL said, hey, we're not going to ban the Tushbush.

[Pat McAfee]

Football game. I think it loud Greeny this morning was like the abomination of a football play. The tush bush like there seems like there is getting a little louder and obviously the shots of everybody being offsides and everything like that. Tush push out, brotherly shove out. Let's go to the number one storyline of the weekend. The Dimes dive is in. Hell yeah. Three touchdowns in two weeks. Danny Dimes dive the Colts okay. I said last week everybody laughed. Colts going super bowl.

[Ty Schmidt]

Not laughing anymore.

[Pat McAfee]

Nobody. Denver Broncos great defense. Yes, Denver Broncos got a great defense.

[Connor Rogers]

Best preseason.

[Pat McAfee]

A lot of people talk about Denver Broncos maybe winning the whole damn thing. Denver Broncos are the team a lot of money on. The Denver Broncos. Now they were in a dog fight with Tennessee week one and I understand Cam Ward had some generational talent plays against them and everything like that, but they were coming into the lot high. They were coming into Lucas Oil Stadium. I think all of us were a little bit worried about are we real or are we not? I mean we're about to find out. Sean Payton on the other side with Bo Nix a little bit more. And what we found out is, ah yeah, the Colts are for real and Tyler Warren might be the best football player in the NFL. Danny Dimes obviously having a full resurrection under this Shane Steichen offense. That's the Dimes dive and it is beautiful. Okay? It is a touchdown maker, a touchdown creator. And I don't think we've even come close to perfecting it. There's bodies flying in the back there. There's a little bit else. But with Danny Dimes ability to run, he even hit a second gear whenever a guy got free and got the edge around somebody and picked up a few yards which could have been a sack in a loss. There were some throws that were perfectly placed out of Danny Dimes and there was a no quit from the team that we had maybe seen in years past. There's multiple times where the Broncos should have won that game, could have won that game. The Colts could have had a three and outer got out of the way or the defense could have just not shown up and kind of gave up another field goal. Maybe just let the momentum go the other way. We bring him in in the offseason out of Minnesota. Full vines guy, Full celebration guy. It is on good authority, I've been told from my source that blew the mascot. Did not know they were doing that celebration at that exact moment. So Bynum's freestyle and celebrations that are becoming the best celebrations around the league each week. It is a good time to be a Colts fan. It is a fun time to be a Colts fan. And leverage is in a rule book. Yeah, it is. Can't be trying to break guys necks. No, we're trying to be healthy. We're trying to be a healthy operation. We're trying our best to make the game safer for future generations. You can't be trying to swan con bomb over a guy's head like leverage. You can't be pushing down, trying to. Now I did see Denver Broncos fans point out some other plays that might have looked like some leverage. I'd argue that maybe it does happen.

[Adam Ray]

On a regular basis.

[Pat McAfee]

I'd argue maybe they don't call it, but when it's that egregious.

[Connor Rogers]

Come on.

[Pat McAfee]

That egregious. We all saw it. Can't have it. You gotta call it.

[Darius J. Butler]

We all saw it.

[Pat McAfee]

I'll tell you. I was in a suite, had direct eye contact on hold from Rigoberto Sanchez, punter for the team.

[Darius J. Butler]

Team haven't seen him.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, no, we don't do that. No, we don't do that around here. Okay. Indianapolis, we don't punt anymore. Rigo could be on his way to Pro bowl season. Did have a punt murder. Might have been 60 some yards. Then they ran into the punter first down. So he did have a punt in Game 1, but it did not count. It got ruled off. We got a first down because everything's working for the Indianapolis Colts right now. But I had direct eye on Rigoberto Sanchez and ball and Spencer Schrader who has been great for us. This kid, Spencer Schrader, we're very happy he's here. Born in Indiana, right? Yes, Westwood, Indiana. And then he went down to Florida, I believe so. He is an Indiana kid. We had Matt Gay, he was the highest paid kicker in the NFL for us. Ball didn't always go in good. Dude. Schrader kid feels good. I have direct eye contact on Rigoberto the ball. Soon as he hits it. Not good contact. This ain't going in. Okay, that's just immediately upon contact. No, that Thing. He hit that thing. No way. So we all think it's over. The electricity is drained from Lucas Oil Stadium, and all of a sudden, what's out there? Oh, again, another flag on the play. These Broncos fans acting like this was the only call that everybody was like, come on. These refs were a part of every play. It was very annoying, to be honest with you. There was a lot of flags in the game. That leverage one's tough. If I was a Broncos fan, I'm certainly very loud on that note. We getting the re kick in the odd house. We didn't care. We want ape shit in there. What a huge win for the Broncos D butt. You're on the call for ESPN Radio. I can't wait to hear that. What a game for you to get to call.

[Darius J. Butler]

I mean, what a game. From wire to wire, both of these offenses are moving the ball up and down the field. We always talk about in the locker room playing complimentary football. We always talk about, hey, it's going to take 60 minutes, have each other's back no matter what happens. And that's what happened with the Colts yesterday. The offense was moving the ball well between the twenties all day long. A couple. A few drive stalls. Stalls stalled but straight. It was nails all day. Went 5 for 5 from field goals. So we couldn't. We weren't punching in touchdowns, but we made the big plays. We need him. That big one of Jonathan Taylor up the sideline, that was huge. The Cam Bynum interception because the Broncos, they were getting in the red area and they were converting touchdowns. Bo Nix was pretty sharp once they got in the red area.

[Pat McAfee]

Franklin is that quarter. Wide receiver.

[Darius J. Butler]

Troy Franklin? Yeah. Weren't they college teammates in Oregon? Yeah. So he. This was kind of his breakout game, but this everywhere was huge. We always talk about tips and overthrows, and that's what Cam Bynum and all the good deep free safeties do. They make you pay for those. So that was a big one getting that turnover there. Special teams, defense, defense wasn't great all day long. Like I said, Bo Nicks was pretty sharp, but made a play when we needed it. And offensively, just been sharp, man. I mean, just every drive, we're getting points, we're getting touchdowns. Tyler Warren, he's been phenomenal. Jonathan Taylor went over 200 total yards. And then Danny Dimes, he was getting his ass blipped. I want to say three, like 70% of the time he got blitzed. And this Denver Broncos defense, they lead the league in sacks. He had six in week one 69 coming into this game and they protected him. He was pretty sharp against the blitz. Went over 300 yards for the first time since week two in 2023. So love with Danny Dimes. We've been looking for a quarterback. Danny Dimes obviously been looking for a good place and I think it's kind of a match made heaven right now.

[Pat McAfee]

Shane Steichen's been looking for a quarterback too. I think he is very comfortable. Comfortable with everything that Danny Dimes, just the conveyance of the offense.

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

What Danny's saying. And you could tell the offensive lines bought in. You could tell everybody's bought in. It's a different vibe with this Colts team this year.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah. And that's probably the best two game span for a home team to start a season of all time. Like when you, I'm serious. When you talk about like the expectations and the question marks around the Colts and for them to come out week one, dominate a team from start to finish and then week two to come out, be down by five in the fourth, fourth quarter, kick two field goals and win. Like you mentioned, it's so much different. Whereas it was 28 to 23 and it was fourth down and I just assumed the Colts were going to go for it, screw it up and it was going to go the other way and instead they kick a field goal, get a stop on defense, kick a game winner like it's unbelievable. Football in the O line. This is Danny Dimes, his first real offensive line and he's one of the top five top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL right now. Like Danny Dimes first shoot is going to be Indianapolis coat for the next, next 10 years.

[Pat McAfee]

I hope so. He, I've heard he was out last night maybe having a couple beers with the locals. Yeah, we like that. And we are not saying that as a negative. That is 1000% A positive. That is the boys enjoying the city. That is a good thing, not a bad thing. Hadn't been happening for a long time. Danny Dimes old school guy Joining us now ladies and gentlemen, senior NFL Insider for ESPN Michigan mind. Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Schefter. Shefty, we apologize for having you wait around right there. That's on us. Us. The 15 minute clock might just disappear but on that note anything that we missed there and the Colts are going to win a Super bowl. Colts.

[Adam Schefter]

Well the 15 minute clock has turned into a 30 minute clock, Pat, but that's okay because the Indianapolis Colts are rolling along. They are the first team in the super bowl era not to punt in the first two games of the season. Who ever would have thought that the Colts with Daniel Jones playing quarterback would become the first team not to punt in the first two games of the season? They scored on their first 10 possessions this season. Scored every single time.

[Pat McAfee]

Rolling along.

[Adam Schefter]

It seems like a lot. It was a long time ago that there was a quarterback competition. You want me to go on to the other 90 seconds here like we did last Monday? You want to take over follow up?

[Pat McAfee]

I'd love that. Well, the follow up is that first 10 thing. Also a record and also I think they've scored 17 of. I forget the exact number. 20 or something like that or 24 and it's the highest percentage of scoring in 45 years in the NFL when it's tough season. But go ahead. On you if any of the 90 seconds have anything with Danny Dimes being the greatest quarterback maybe in the history of the NFL through two weeks, you can certainly add that. But we are excited to hear what we need to catch up on.

[Adam Schefter]

Well, who would have thought that the Colts would have a more stable quarterback position right now than the Cincinnati Bengals? But the story of the day, obviously Joe Burrow has a turf toe injury that will require surgery. He will be sidelined for a minimum of three months. Typically this is a 12 to 14 week recovery period from an injury like that. That would mean that if it was best case the soonest he could be ready as much as he might push, would be December 15th and very well could be into the new year before he's ready again. Let's see if the Bengals and Jake Browning their new quarterback and keep them afloat until then. But Joe Burrow went down yesterday. You knew it had to be serious. He's going to have surgery as soon as the swelling and that toe goes down and he's going to be sidelined for a minimum of three months. The Bengals already have been calling around to add another quarterback. That's from a depth standpoint. But the fact of the matter is Jake Browning will be the guy. He is expected to be the guy. And Joe Burrow has taken so much punishment there in Cincinnati from the time that he arrived there in 2020. You put up the pass rush win rate right there where the Bengals have ranked in the league and you see those numbers. That is rough for a quarterback to absorb all those hits all those years and you wonder what type of cumulative effect it will have on Joe Burrow physically and mentally moving forward. So we'll keep an eye on that as that unfolds the New York jets quarterback Justin Fields is in concussion protocol, left the game yesterday, went out, was replaced by Tyrod Taylor. We'll see if Justin Fields can clear in time this week to get back into action. The jets had a terribly disappointing game yesterday against the Buffalo Bills. They looked inept out there. Nobody would have thought the jets could look that bad, but they did. And now there'll be a question about the quarterback. And the other quarterback to watch today will be Jaden Daniels. Obviously came up a little limpy on Thursday night in Green Bay, and I think they did some testing over the weekend and I think Dan Quinn will address the media today and we'll see what that is. Whether his status for Sunday is in question at all. Don't know yet. I don't think it's serious any kind of way, but I do think that we're going to hear something there regarding some sort of issue with Jaden Daniels. That's my. That's my sense of things and we'll see how that plays out. They're working through it right now.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. On that note, Jaden looked unlike what we've seen of Jaden in the NFL, I think in the face and everything on the field. Certainly against that packers team who might be. They might be the best team in ball right now. It might be. So that might just be the case. I didn't think I remembered him potentially having an injury coming out of there. We will obviously actually keep teas and P's and positive vibes for Jaden Daniels ankle and everybody that got injured. Ty has a question for you. Chef D. Shout out to YouTube TV, by the way, every game, every Sunday, all in one place. Love it. You got quad box, too?

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, no, you build them now better.

[Pat McAfee]

You can build them. You can choose which one there in red zone. Are we still. We are, yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

I watched it all day yesterday.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, okay. Yeah, I had it on as well. Now, granted, I know there's people that didn't because they were saying terrible things to me whenever I said, yep, you guys are going to have playthrough commercials. We do not care. I spoke for the wrong people. There are people, I can tell you.

[Adam Schefter]

You know, you don't go there.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, well, I did because I knew that I was going to still watch. And that's on me for assuming everybody else is. Are their numbers down?

[Darius J. Butler]

Do they still have a full minute of commercials? Because I've been boycotting. I haven't peaked over there.

[Pat McAfee]

Really?

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah.

[Tone Diggs]

They did something more egregious yesterday, actually.

[Pat McAfee]

Did you get.

[Tone Diggs]

Was that a new border yesterday?

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, the red line. Yeah. I will say the red line's pretty nice whenever it's in the quad box because you know which one is exactly the red zone channel as opposed to everything else. But I saw people were not happy with the red border. Yeah, they don't want it taking an.

[Ty Schmidt]

Inch off both of my sides of the tv.

[Pat McAfee]

I want to let people know I'm on your side. It was incredibly convenient to see that in the four ball in the quad box because I know that's the red zone one. Not that I wouldn't forget, but it's nice little reminder. It is like, oh, wait, I thought these games were on. What's going on here? But I agree. I can't take it anymore. It did help me in a couple of different times a lot. But I hate it.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, done with it. Moving on.

[Pat McAfee]

And the four 15 second things. Enough. Those need to be at least zero seconds.

[Connor Rogers]

Five.

[Pat McAfee]

Red zone's awesome. It is awesome. And I do share everybody else's sentiments. Let's not ruin it. Okay? Let's not do that. As a whole. I agree. Go ahead.

[Ty Schmidt]

Ty Shetty, looking ahead to tonight, do you have any update on. On Brock Bowers status? We heard last week after he came out of the game, hey, he. He would have finished this if this game mattered. But then all this week now, he's questionable. They don't know if he's gonna play. Where are we at with Brock Bowers going into tonight's game?

[Adam Schefter]

I believe he's gonna play. I think Pete Carroll has said he expects Brock Bowers to play the head coach himself, who's celebrating, by the way, his 74th birthday today. So happy birthday. They expect him out there. I don't think it's a lock yet that he's going to play again. I go Back to Christian McCaffrey last year in the opener when everybody thought he was going to play and he didn't. I think Bowers plays. He wore a left sleeve over his knee in practice. But I still want to see that he's fully and officially active before we know for sure that he's playing. But I think it's trending towards that. Clearly, even though they listed him, it's questionable.

[Pat McAfee]

Anything else in this game that we should think about?

[Adam Schefter]

Oh, there's a lot that we should think about. Khalil Mack, the former Raider, gets to go up against his former team and the Raiders at offensive line. He'll be up against DJ Glaze tonight, so that'll be Interesting. A little matchup to see how that plays out. We've got these two great rookie running backs right now. We'll see how that plays out between Omarion Hampton and Ashton Genty. Justin Herbert has played very well. Geno Smith is airing it out for the Raiders. First home game for the Vegas Raiders this year. So really, it's the first time that Pete Carroll has coached that team in front of the home fans there in Las Vegas. Ashton Genty making his home debut. We'll see if Brock Bowers is in fact out there as we think he will be. Should be a good matchup on Monday Night Football in the second leg of the game.

[Pat McAfee]

We're hoping that these primetime games remain good.

[Connor Rogers]

Yes.

[Ty Schmidt]

Need it.

[Pat McAfee]

We're starting to look at the schedule. Feels like the NFL really wanted to, you know, put some good stuff up front. Yeah, yeah. We want this first week to not be a dud. Let's put some division games in here. Let's put some rivalry games in here. And then we all. Because I. I think we got caught up in a moment. We're like, yes, this is the new NFL. Yep. Yesterday's slate. You look around, you're like, hold the phone. Okay. Then you start looking ahead. You're like, what game is. You're on prime time. Yo, do I see the Miami Dolphins are on prime time.

[Darius J. Butler]

See, that's pretty messing up. Don't look ahead. Stay in the movie.

[Pat McAfee]

Told me I got to stay in a moment. I understand. Tom Brady said I got to stay in a moment. The Miami Dolphins are in prime time here in the not so distant future. We can't be doing this NFL. This cannot be what this is. On The Miami Dolphins, though. Go ahead, D. Bud.

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah. Tool play a little bit better. Was a game kind of down to the wire for the Dolphins, but everything that's going on over there is under a microscope, including the head coach when he's speaking at the press conferences, body language on the field, the defense. They, you know, coach Colts started off historically, they did as well. Allowed points in their first 10 or 11 drives. How hot are the seats down in Miami? And will Tyreek Hill possibly be on the move here soon?

[Adam Schefter]

Well, they essentially hadn't gotten a call as of last week, but I think what happens here is as losses mount up, as they continue to pile up, that inevitably it gets the attention of teams and they begin to start calling. Nobody had called as of last week, but if they keep losing, you know that people will be calling. Now. The Dolphins last week had zero interest in trading Him. And I still think that they probably think they're 02 and they think they're going to be bouncing back. Now they play on a short week. Play Buffalo. That's the matchup you don't want right now. So, you know, let's see how. How this goes right now. But it's not a great matchup, not a great time. They're not interested in trading Tariq now. A month from now, there could be a different story.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, but when you put that tweet out, that note and you're wheeling and dealing right now, is that anything that we need. Need to talk.

[Adam Schefter]

A lot of going on right now.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Like what? Like what?

[Adam Schefter]

Stuff pad. Like stuff.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, come on, Chef D, we'll call you. Stuff Stuff.

[Connor Rogers]

Stu.

[Pat McAfee]

Adam stuffed her. Yeah, it's a lot of stuff. Adam had a lot of stuffer. When you put that tweet out, though, about nobody has really been interested in trading for Tyreek Hill. That's a Hootie who. Right. That's a bird call for everybody that Tyreek may be available. Or is that you literally just saying? Interesting storyline that I'm learning about here.

[Adam Schefter]

No, I think various people have speculated, you know, about him being traded. People have been saying that dolphins have been getting caught calls, teams have been reaching out. This team's interested. I just don't think any of those things as of last week had happened. I don't think that there have been teams that call. That's why I said to date, they hadn't received any calls from other teams and they had no plans to trade them. Could that change this week? Sure. Is it likely to change? I don't think so. There's a short week. Miami is more intent upon turning around its season. Obviously, we all have our own feelings about where they will or they won't.

[Pat McAfee]

Won't.

[Adam Schefter]

But they're in the thick of it and they think they have a good team with good players. So unless they start.

[Adam Ray]

They don't.

[Pat McAfee]

No, they don't.

[Adam Ray]

Chris Greer's phone might not actually work either. That could be the problem.

[Pat McAfee]

No, he can get everybody out of town. That's a one way.

[Adam Ray]

He's great.

[Pat McAfee]

On that note, though, as soon as I read that from you, I immediately think, oh, this is the team saying, shefty, let people know. Yeah, that we are definitely to date. And they currently those two little parts right there, you just drop. You're trying to make it accurate.

[Adam Schefter]

My wording, Pat, that's like, again, I'm trying to come up with it so that. So that if the events change and circumstances change a month from now. Somebody said you said they weren't trading. Well, that that's where they're at on this day. They're not trading them. They're not looking to trade them. We all know that things are fluid and that teams change their minds and circumstances change. So that's. That's my language.

[Pat McAfee]

Like, I understand, but I'm just telling you from your Twitter account, me reading that, especially with all the people that follow you and all the people that literally notable people with power in a lot of buildings read your tweets and go, oh, there's a little bit of a thing over there. Let me go ahead and give a. As soon as I read that, I was like, oh, that's drumming up. That has to be. To drum up interesting for the Miami Dolphins and potentially here about Tyree Kill. How much is he getting paid? What is Tyree killing?

[Darius J. Butler]

Like 30 a year when he signed anybody potentially call him Trey for head coach, maybe.

[Pat McAfee]

What do you mean?

[Darius J. Butler]

I mean, that happens in the NFL.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah. No, I think. I think, like, the main red claws are coach basketball up there. G League. I think they're calling who for Mike McDaniel.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, my gosh. That is not.

[Connor Rogers]

That's what he was alluding to was, like, teams trading for the head coach.

[Pat McAfee]

I said, he doesn't even know basketball. The main red clause, Mike McDaniel, so freaking cool.

[Connor Rogers]

He could probably figure out basketball in a day, right?

[Pat McAfee]

Probably run that triangle offense like Phil Jackson. He's gonna be an offensive coordinator somewhere, we all assume. But they like their team. They think they're gonna be able to turn around. Hopefully, they will be able to do that. Maybe he heads back to San Francisco. Who. Wait a minute. Go ahead, con man Chef T. We.

[Connor Rogers]

Gotta talk about it. All right. You're very tied in with the Niners. I know you're tied in with every team, but when it comes to the Niners, it's like. It's like an Eagle Scout type. Not one when it comes to tied in. Mac Jones went out and balled out for the San Francisco 49ers. Kyle Shanahan, you have reported, wanted Mac Jones in the draft. Something happened, you know, after they trade up to three, they end up taking Trey Lance. But Mac Jones gets into the Kyle Shanahan offense, and it basically goes off without a hitch. While not having George Kittle on the field. Is it too soon to say we have a quarterback controversy? Are we a win or two away from a quarterback controversy? Because we also looked at Purdy's, you know, contract and his cap hit doesn't go north of 30 million. So this does almost feel like a, you know, not a Kirk Cousins, Pennock situation. But if Mac Jones has a hot hand, Kyle Shanahan's probably going to continue to roll with him. Shefty. Are we reading that right?

[Adam Schefter]

Well, they're going to roll with him as long as Brock Purdy is out. And when Brock Purdy is able to come back, they're going to roll with Brock Purdy. I don't think there's any quarterback there right now. I think it's them having a backup that they believe in. And I think he's a backup. He signed a two year, $7 million deal. He's the backup, he's the number two. And frankly, the better he plays, the better it'll be for them. If they decide that, hey, he's got value in the off season and they want to deal him, then, then maybe they could do that. I don't think they're thinking like that. I think that they're just thinking, look, they've had so many injuries at so many key positions. They had to rely on a backup tight end, a backup quarterback. They didn't know they were going to have Trent Williams until pregame warmups. They're missing wide receivers. Like, this is a team that's been decimated early on. So to have Mac Jones step in and complete 26 of 39 for 279 three touch. He looked great. He looked great. And they were saying to me over the weekend that they believe that that environment that they have there elevates players. Like they've seen players step in and perform well. That's what they were expecting from Mac Jones. And it was interesting because everybody kept talking about how awesome he's been to be around and he's brought a real spunk and swagger to the, to the team. And I think, I think Mac Jones learned a lot going through his two experiences in New England and Jacksonville. And it sounds like, you know, he got there kind of with some maturity and some experience and probably acted in a way that maybe he might not have earlier in his career. And he played great, played great, looks really strong yesterday. I don't. But I don't know. I don't think there's any quarterback controversy there.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. We'll continue to monitor it. I think Kyle Shanahan originally won in Mac Jones. Now he's seeing what he could have had. We love Brock Purdy, yes. More than anybody else. I have his out. I have his costume from Ariat.

[Ty Schmidt]

That's right.

[Pat McAfee]

I bought it. The thing he wore and did the two step or the line dance in and immersion. I thought he looked so cool. I actually bought it. But any place on earth that would potentially do this would be Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers. Especially if Kyle Shanahan originally could prove just like I said it was. Now on the note about Mac Jones bouncing around, you got Baker, you got Darnold, you got Geno, you got a lot of guys, Dimes, Danny Dimes here that go through whatever humbling process or maybe enlightening process that they go through in their own football journeys, in their own football lives. Mac Jones in the Kyle Shanahan offense. We all immediately were like, that would make sense. Which is probably what Kyle Shanahan was thinking when he was coming out of draft. Draft. It appears. If that's the case, week one, if that continues, you're saying no problem.

[Darius J. Butler]

Okay, I'm saying it too.

[Pat McAfee]

You're saying the same thing as Shefty.

[Darius J. Butler]

Same thing. Brock Purdy's the guy.

[Pat McAfee]

I agree. However, Kyle Shanahan is a guy that has done this. I mean, this is something Kyle Shanahan would do. Not saying he wants to cause any problems. There's no riff. Brock Purdy definitely quarterback. They paid him and everything like that. That. But if Mac Jones, the guy he wanted number three overall, they traded multiple number ones to go get and he comes into his system. Kyle Shanahan's guy in charge over there. Right. Kyle Shanahan has this guy that just like I said it would starts happening. That's a tough thing. I think 2 year, 7 million too. You know what he just saw? Somebody wants Brock.

[Connor Rogers]

Right.

[Pat McAfee]

We got a lot of salary cap all of a sudden. I'm not saying that it's overreaction Monday.

[Connor Rogers]

No, it's playing really well right now that they couldn't hold on to Debo Samuel.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, so. Oh, there's a lot. It's Kyle Shanahan.

[Darius J. Butler]

How much Cardi's guaranteed?

[Connor Rogers]

182.

[Tone Diggs]

182.

[Pat McAfee]

So much money.

[Ty Schmidt]

It's a lot.

[Connor Rogers]

Including injury. So who knows what the actual total number.

[Tone Diggs]

No, I think that was.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, chef. You're saying it. You're saying it. I'm in. Brock Purdy can't wait to get you back.

[Darius J. Butler]

He's got to stay healthy. It's good to have a good backup in two years. You got a good backup for two years?

[Pat McAfee]

279.3Tuds 112 foot work without kiddos.

[Darius J. Butler]

Kittle one game.

[Connor Rogers]

Purdy is, you know, Kittle's one of Purdy's guys, though.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, last question.

[Darius J. Butler]

Two, three years of Purdy.

[Connor Rogers]

I agree.

[Ty Schmidt]

Saints are tough too.

[Connor Rogers]

Got 10 years.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, last question here from Aptone.

[Tone Diggs]

Yeah, Shefty. To be honest with you, I thought I was getting a darn stuffed this weekend. I saw a tweet, but then I went, adam. Nope, that's Adam Schefter. You put out a tweet that that shoulder told the Ravens no, they wanted to draft him in the fifth round. And he said, no, I don't want to be a backup to Lamar Jackson. That was a real thing.

[Adam Schefter]

That's a real thing.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Schefter]

The Ravens were planning to take Shador Sanders at pick 141 and that was the plan. And word got back to them that he preferred not to be in a situation where he would be in a quarterback room with an all world superstar elite quarterback, Jackson, where he wouldn't be able to sniff the field. And so that was something that did not appeal to Shador. And he preferred to take the mystery behind door number two rather than the certainty of Baltimore at door number one and basically let it be known. Like, yeah, thank you very much, but please don't. I want to be in a place that I can have a better opportunity to play. And so yeah, if that message is been there, would the Ravens have picked him at 141? Yes, they would have done that. That was the plan.

[Darius J. Butler]

I want to play behind another guy.

[Pat McAfee]

Great history in Baltimore.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, one of the goats.

[Pat McAfee]

One of the other guys. Maybe learning from Lamar would be cool. Getting drafted at pick 141, is it a guaranteed that you're going to play anyways? Man, getting. I'm on team Shadora, always have been. When I read this, just like Diggs, I was like, who would want this info? Why do we have this? And I read it, I'm like, why did this happen? Then I started thinking like 10 different times, if it all works out, it all works out. But if I could have the opportunity to be in a Lamar Jackson room versus any other room, I think I'd want to be in a Lamar Jackson room.

[Darius J. Butler]

Not me.

[Pat McAfee]

No, no.

[Darius J. Butler]

Not if I'm a quarterback that feel like I'm good enough to be a starter. Feel like I'm good enough to be a first or second round pick. I don't want to go go to a team that has Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, maybe Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, Those are probably. I'll open the other door if I'm a guy that wants to get on, because these guys, we expect to play for another 10 years unless something happens. And this happens usually at the back end of the draft. Sometimes guys don't want to get drafted late, sixth round, seventh round, they'd rather be an undrafted free agent to pick a better destination to go in there and compete in the roster. So it makes sense from that standpoint. A lot of times, this type of doesn't get out either.

[Pat McAfee]

What? Yeah. When did he end up getting picked? What?

[Adam Schefter]

Pick one, 44, three picks later.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah. And if, you know, to your guys point, like, picking in place, with all those things considered, would you want to go to a place where you're the second rookie quarterback drafted in the class?

[Darius J. Butler]

Well, I mean, I'm sure he didn't want that either, but.

[Connor Rogers]

He said no to the Ravens. He could probably say no know, to the Browns.

[Darius J. Butler]

I'd rather be a. I'd rather be in the Brown situation than a Ravens situation.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

If you want a quarterback.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. But, man, I don't know. It doesn't look good. I don't think it personally looks good. What? Only three picks later is good, I think, as a thing, because the complaints about him not getting picked were the thing then. Now we're hearing, well, he told people not to pick him. How many other people did he say not to?

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, good point.

[Pat McAfee]

You know, so then that's the. The issues, because I. I was like, what the hell's going on? Is I was part of. Of the whole. I was part of the whole, we're not driving with. And then now we're here, and. Well, he turned down a team to get drafted to them, and it's like, did that happen anywhere else? I have no idea. Like, did the Beals say, hey, we'd love to have you. No, I don't want to go there.

[Connor Rogers]

Like Panthers.

[Pat McAfee]

If it all ends up working out, it's good. And I. But I hope that's the only time that that happened. What if there was a fourth round team that didn't want to.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Or third round. We don't know if that's true. It's not. Maybe.

[Ty Schmidt]

I mean, that's what we heard, though, with, like, the interviews. Like, was he just going in and being like, you guys can draft me. I'm not coming here. Sorry.

[Pat McAfee]

If it all ends up working out. It's all good. Good luck. Shador pulling for you, man. Always will. All right, Chef D, we appreciate you man, if you got any more of that stuff that you want to tweet out, we'll follow along.

[Adam Schefter]

There'll be stuff coming here soon.

[Pat McAfee]

What type of stuff? Good stuff.

[Connor Rogers]

Do it now.

[Adam Schefter]

Not good stuff.

[Pat McAfee]

No.

[Darius J. Butler]

Oh, no.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, bad news stuff. So we got suspensions coming in.

[Adam Schefter]

Bad news stuff.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, no. Oh, no. Injury or suspensions.

[Adam Schefter]

Bad news stuff.

[Pat McAfee]

Bad news. Fire.

[Connor Rogers]

Injury.

[Adam Schefter]

You'll see. You'll know when you see.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, no, ladies and gentlemen, that's Adam stuff. That's Adam Bad. Stuffed her.

[Connor Rogers]

I mean, kind of. Kind of perfect, though, because we haven't done the Geez Louise plays at the moments. Moments.

[Pat McAfee]

Sorry. Jeans Louise moment of the weekend. I don't know if now's the time. I was gonna say not now, then. When?

[Ty Schmidt]

I mean, our way for him to end that.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

I feel like I did. Did a. A massive star player die over the weekend, and I'm not aware.

[Tone Diggs]

I mean, if we're doing bad stuff.

[Adam Ray]

I mean, I think it might be Jover in Miami.

[Tone Diggs]

What?

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, no.

[Connor Rogers]

It's Mike McDover.

[Pat McAfee]

I think. I think.

[Adam Ray]

Think the way I looked into his eyes, in his face.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay.

[Adam Ray]

Looking into Shefter's eyes.

[Tone Diggs]

I felt it, brother.

[Pat McAfee]

Call back. Call back. Shifter. Callback. Shafter Police. Gumpy, you can't just be saying it just because you're hoping for it. Okay? That. That isn't. That isn't how this works. You know, it is overreaction Monday after week two.

[Connor Rogers]

If they fire their.

[Pat McAfee]

It might be Jover down there. Might be Joe McDo. Oh, my God.

[Tone Diggs]

Mike McDover.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, my God.

[Connor Rogers]

Most press conferences, man, they're awesome, dude.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, they're not. Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

If you score, you win. So trying to freaking score.

[Pat McAfee]

That's what we like. The bottom, though, is that he wasn't the same as everybody else.

[Ty Schmidt]

And that's exactly the reason they should fire him today.

[Pat McAfee]

Whoa.

[Ty Schmidt]

Because of that yesterday.

[Adam Ray]

You have some juice. Juice. When he did that.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, I understand. It's Chef. Did a coach get fired? Did a coach get fired?

[Adam Schefter]

Nobody got fired.

[Ty Schmidt]

Okay, thank you.

[Pat McAfee]

Thank you. Thank you. All right. See you. We appreciate you. Ladies and gentlemen, let's have Chef. You can't just be doing that.

[Adam Ray]

No, I said I think it might be. When I looked into his eyes and he was saying something bad was coming, I felt like a coach could be getting fired. I didn't say who.

[Tone Diggs]

Sounds like health, but.

[Pat McAfee]

But you're wrong, though. You said it's not.

[Adam Ray]

We don't know. It hasn't broke yet. We don't have any news.

[Connor Rogers]

Yet if it is healthy health. The Patriots were without their DC this weekend and he has had health problems this year.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, we're pulling for everybody. Geez. Week two firing would be wild.

[Darius J. Butler]

It would be.

[Pat McAfee]

That'd be a wild thing.

[Darius J. Butler]

We haven't had that that early before, right?

[Pat McAfee]

When did. When did Rivera get fired? Later. 7.

[Darius J. Butler]

Like Frank Wright was kind of around mid Frank.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, they were pretty. Yeah, it was a little bit there.

[Tone Diggs]

A couple college coaches got fired this week.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Yeah, you'd see that. Hey, we ain't got time for you to be doing what you're doing down there. At Virginia Tech. Last year they returned like 20 of 22 starters and just didn't win. And then this year they seemingly did well in the transport on getting guys in there. Had dogs everywhere. Just don't win. This guy's 16 and 24. He's fired. See you later. Brent Pry, appreciate what you did for college football, but everybody in Virginia Tech said it'd be cool to be good at football, not just have a great entrance. And then who else?

[Tone Diggs]

DeShawn Foster.

[Pat McAfee]

You see now he said we're in Los Angeles at the Big Ten media days and go, he's ex NFL guy who obviously we all got respect for from playing ability. But his head coaching stint did not start good at ucla. Nico, though, got Nico Iamaliava. And you know, I see some people who are Tennessee fans saying this is kind of dumbest guy in the history of the nil. Seems like he is. I was down there, there. I know the jerseys. You saw what they did.

[Connor Rogers]

Oh, sn.

[Tone Diggs]

I'm.

[Pat McAfee]

I am having a regret.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, that was good.

[Darius J. Butler]

It's creative.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, very creative. Good crowd. Hopefully make a great crowd down in Tennessee. Shout out to them. Also congrats to Georgia Bulldogs. Big time win. That's tough. Get in there and get a win. Especially with the way that city was buzzing. 102,000 show up 45 minutes before the game starts. That place is packed. What a great time to be alive.

Ball is awesome. Yeah. Oh God, the goat. It is so cool. Yeah. You turn on tv, all you do is you see electrifying environments with an amazing sport being played. You can be dazzled, you can be emotional, it can be thrilling, it can be a bummer. Yeah, it's the greatest sport of all time. We're lucky to be right in the middle of its season. College football has been delivering in a big way. Ratings are up 21%, whatever that means across all college football games, and I assume the NFL is going to have similar stuff. Statistics, sports as a whole are a great unifier, a good thing to really rally around and we're certainly doing that with our sport, football for the next, what, five months?

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Darius J. Butler]

Love that.

[Pat McAfee]

It's been great tonight. Two Monday Night Football games will cap off this NFL Week 2 slate. Obviously one of them is very, very late and we are going to struggle to stay awake for it. But the Buccaneers will take on the Texans at 7 o' clock and then the Charger will take on the Raiders. Baker, Mayfield, C.J. stroud, let's go. Okay, let's do that. Let's have a good one. Especially down in Houston. Monday night in Houston. Early in the season, Texans still very much at a point where they can go. The Houston Texans fans are about to be outrageous tonight. That was by far the loudest stadium that I played in every single week or every single year. I did not get a chance to go play in Seattle. Have since gone to Seattle. Seattle, witnessed a game there with the Amazon prime commentators. It's loud as shit. I'm not going to say. It's not like I assume that I would have said that that place loudest if I ever got to play there. Houston though every time we played there was an AFC south championship game. It was like a primetime feeling game. Obviously JJ was there, so the place was crazy loud. You'd leave the place, your ears would still be ringing for like an hour, two hours after the game. Tough to have those types of environments and lose. So I think the nightmare might be tough for the Buccaneers in primetime and then Chargers and Raiders. Harbaugh taking on Pete Carroll. I don't feel like there's a lot of love lost between. No, there's not. AFC west is there going to be some new kings this year? Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs show a little bit of weakness and maybe it is time for one of these other AFC west teams who have legendary coaches to go on a run. We shall see the talks and tables here at Boston. Connor and Atti Schmidt. Sweet home hoodie.

[Connor Rogers]

Thank you very much.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

As part of the New England NFL rivalries gear. It is unbelievable. It says it well actually just has the end of it. We are all Patriots, but the full thing is we, the people of the United States of New England are all Patriots. Okay, so it's kind of like, like I know you guys consider yourself Patriots.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, that's. I was wondering actually when I saw that thing, who made it? Because I thought if one particular company made it, we could maybe just rip off that Neo off the chest and then also the Patriots logo on the sleeve. So then it can just have a. We're all patriots here, which is a pretty sweet little go America type hoodie. If.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, it's not that poopy brand. It's Nike, so it's pretty legit.

[Pat McAfee]

This. We'll let other people decide what the poopy brand is that we were talking about.

[Connor Rogers]

And I almost said it and I decided, you know what?

[Tone Diggs]

Smart.

[Pat McAfee]

No, it wasn't Adidas. Adidas. Spending a lot of money in our sport. We just need them to know it is not Adidas or Under Armour or.

[Connor Rogers]

Reebok or New Balance or.

[Pat McAfee]

That's. Whoa.

[Adam Ray]

How'd you get those already?

[Darius J. Butler]

Boom.

[Pat McAfee]

Are those the Holly ones? They are sick. The Opals.

[Ty Schmidt]

Is that the Opal collection?

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, I said it should have been called the Avatars, but Opal's cool too, man.

[Pat McAfee]

It does look like it's straight out of Pandora there. Unobtainium right there on your feet.

[Tone Diggs]

I'll tell you, those green pants are sick.

[Pat McAfee]

They are clean. Yeah, you do got nice green pants. Kind of. Yeah. Brings the whole outfit together there. I. I think you look at. They're also very comfortable.

[Connor Rogers]

Oh, it's super comfy.

[Pat McAfee]

A lot of basketball shoes and a lot of people who have shoes. Their shoes are built for looks, not for actual wearing. His shoes look sweet. And they're also very comfortable.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, they're both. It is perfect. And I'll probably wear these every single day in here. They're awesome. Thank you for giving them to me.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, no problem. Size.

[Connor Rogers]

Tyrese did not send them to me.

[Pat McAfee]

No, he actually sent. I think he sent them to the whole group. One half of the Hammer Cowboys. AP Tone is here. Congrats to your Steelers Tone. Thank you. I appreciate that. That we kind of did a fast little run through of it earlier. You know, chitchat about whose team is potentially more done than the others. Everybody kind of wants to rule out the Pittsburgh Steelers right now. Aaron Rogers says week two it's going to be good for us in the long run. Seattle Seahawks might have a team.

[Tone Diggs]

Maybe Tony.

[Connor Rogers]

Tony.

[Tone Diggs]

Even if they do, I mean, it's still not good. I mean, things. It was 14. It was 14.

[Connor Rogers]

10Am Local.

[Pat McAfee]

First.

[Tone Diggs]

First round.

[Pat McAfee]

10Am Local for Seattle. Yeah. They go independent. Pittsburgh. Oh, mama, I'm env for my life. From the long of the 10am local. They play this game in Pittsburgh. Aaron Rodgers, first time getting intro running out there doing the entire thing. I mean, you think the Seattle Seahawks are in some here now. This is going to be tough instead. Huge win, multiple turnovers, obviously, red zone turnovers, everything like that. That Will change the game. But I think the Seattle Seahawks might be better than anybody's giving them credit because they're so far away. And also brand new team, brand new quarterback, everything like that. So maybe the Pittsburgh Steelers aren't as ass as maybe they looked yesterday or maybe some fans feel, hopefully.

[Tone Diggs]

But, you know, you talked about how the jets looked against the Bills. You know, that wasn't great. So, I mean, it's always. It's hard to tell early in the season. And yesterday was. It was 14, 7 and a half. And things. It's not like things were great in the first half.

[Pat McAfee]

They.

[Tone Diggs]

They Seahawks scored on the first drive, but then they didn't score since then. And the O line, Aaron was getting pressured in, but it was like 14, seven. All right, you know, well, this will just be an ugly home loss or whatever. Then it's 14, 14 in the second half. They score on their first drive of the second half, and then Steelers get a huge play out of Jalen Warren. They're going down. It's. It's four minutes left in the. In the third quarter. Like, all right, either touchdown or field goal, here we go up. And then this is just a. It's a. It's a tough. It's a tough interception for Aaron. Calvin Austin goes off his hands into the defender. If it got through, would it have been a touchdown from youth? We'll never know. And then the Seahawks go down. They kick a field goal after this, and then after they kick the field goal, they have to kick off.

[Pat McAfee]

Let's go to our Geez Louise moment of the weekend. Jeez Louise. A lot of people saying, oh, no, Come on. Jeez Louise, what is this? Fourth quarter of an NFL game? New landing zone rules? Go ahead and run it. Hit the kickoff. Try to hit in a landing zone, trying to make it a little bit of an ugly ball. Takes a bad bounce, goes over Calvin Austin's head.

[Tone Diggs]

Caleb Johnson.

[Pat McAfee]

Sorry, Caleb Johnson's head, and he lets it go. And then boom. Boise State legend George Holani dives on it before it rolls out of the back of the end zone. Since it landed in the landing zone, which is in between a 20 in the goal line. That is a live ball. Now there was conversation. Did he touch it? Did he not touch it? The ref say, we don't care. The ball was down in the landing zone, and it was not downed in the end zone for a touchback. So that right there, ladies and gentlemen, is a touchdown for the Seattle Seahawks. Might as well make the extra point. So you take the Field goal after the pick, then you add the kickoff touchdown and then release the touchdown to Friarmouth, potentially from the Steelers side. 17 point swing. That interception right there in the moment where Calvin Austin hits it off his fingertips. Aaron Rodgers was incredibly upset. Once again, this is the kickoff. Lands in the landing zone, stays live in the end zone. They covered up. That's a touchdown. Kickoffs used to be always live. Always had to down balls. Even if they went in the end zone. Then they tried to make it a kickoff. Touchback fest, basically. And they started rolling it down as. As soon. Soon as the ball would hit the end zone, as soon as the ball would hit the paint. Be like a high school game. Balls down, balls down, balls down. They just kind of rolled that into the NFL. That was never a thing. Because on kickoff, ball's always live. Like, hey, might score a touchdown. We got a doofus returner back there. He might not know that this thing is still alive. We might steal a touchdown. So now with the ball landing in the landing zone, definitely being full go, and then them not knowing to down it in the back, that's alarming. That is an alarming situation. Danny Smith better be on boys for that entire situation.

[Darius J. Butler]

You mentioned, though, that being a rule in college. That's a rookie. A rookie running back. Correct there. So.

[Tone Diggs]

Well, he never returned in college who.

[Ty Schmidt]

Wasn'T much of a return.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Darius J. Butler]

So you got to know these. These rules is tough. I think this has only happened four times in the National Football League. It's a legendary coach used to say, if you're a return, there's two things you got to know. You got to know the rules. You got to catch the ball. Those are two things. Obviously, he didn't do either right there. So tough. But it's a learning lesson not only for Caleb Johnson, you know, in all special teams men meetings around the league, this will be shown now, and everybody will kind of remember it now going forward.

[Pat McAfee]

And there's gonna be a lot of people in special teams meetings that had no idea that was a rule.

[Darius J. Butler]

Absolutely.

[Pat McAfee]

And they're gonna be like, thank God that didn't happen to us. And on that note, with the new rule of the landing zone. That was perfect ball.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Yes.

[Pat McAfee]

That is exactly the. That was a squib. That was ugly. And when it hit the ground, skirted through that is the kick that every kicker is looking for. Because if that ended up being a touchback like old Cuz wanted it to be, that goes to the 20. Okay. As opposed to a 35. So that's like perfect kick and then obviously perfect execution by the special teams unit from Seattle knowing that's a live ball and scoring a touchdown. That's attention to detail early in the season. Now let's go back to the Calvin Austin interception because Aaron was very pissed off. Seemed like others were pretty pissed off. It was talked about afterwards. Calvin Austin got into a space that he wasn't supposed to get into allegedly. And is this a, a tumultuous point for all of Pittsburgh Steelers fans?

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Tone Diggs]

Well it's, it's a tumultuous point because the whole thing about who's going to be wide receiver too during the offseason, stuff like that, it is Calvin Austin. But no, Mark Sanchez was talking about on the broadcast how, how Calvin Austin should have went one way and he did. And then Aaron, obviously the show Aaron in the replay and he's pointing and he's not happy either. It was just a litany of errors. And then Foxy, if you have after, right after this, this and after the kickoff There was a third and goal from the 20 and Kenneth Walker touchdown. They just ran a simple little, little pitch outside and I mean the run the de. The defense.

[Darius J. Butler]

Jesus.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, that's Pittsburgh Steelers fourth quarter defense, Keystone cops. The defense like the Keystone cops out.

[Tone Diggs]

There two weeks in a row now the rush defense has been horrendous. The third def. Third down defense, defense has been horrendous. Like that's the. This is the biggest worry. The defense looking like, like the O line. We knew there's gonna be question marks, you know, the special team stuff happens, whatever. But the defense looking like shite to start the year is tough.

[Pat McAfee]

Nine year NFL vet Darius J. Butler is here. And joining us live from an attic in Ohio is a man who's a college football national champion, a Super bowl champion, a Ryder cup winner and best friends with quarterback at Pittsburgh Steelers. Ladies and gentlemen, A.J. hawk. Yeah, Hawker, you saw him get a little bit animated. He certainly thought Calvin was going one way and he had Friarmouth wide open. Mark Sanchez said in a replay like Austin's got to know that Friarmouth's going to that back corner, kind of clear space there as opposed to bring his guy in and kind of muddy the entirety of it all up. What are your thoughts on where the Steelers offense is, where Aaron is and kind of how it looks after week two in Pittsburgh?

[AJ Hawk]

I mean, yeah, this is some unbelievable mistakes. I think that usually tend to not happen with an Aaron Rodgers led offense. Something like this. It's kind of a fluke and then the whole kickoff situation that you showed, like how often what Debut said it's happened four times. I mean, I don't know with this new rule how it works out. Yeah, I don't know how it happens.

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

I don't.

[AJ Hawk]

I'm not as down on the Steelers because I feel like things like this, obviously if they don't happen, they have a much better chance to win. But you're right, the. The defense not holding up these first couple weeks, that. That would worry me a little bit more and shout out D. But bringing out the Keystone Cops record site. Used to hear that every day for 20 years. You know, starting as a youngster when coaches say it. But yeah, I'd be a little bit concerned. But. But also, I mean, Seattle's legit, man. I think they're pretty solid.

[Pat McAfee]

I think Seattle is legit. I don't think anybody's talking about it. We'll find out as the season continues to go. The Pittsburgh Steelers, though, we're going all in. We're winning Super Bowl. You know, we're winning super bowl here. I don't think anybody in Pittsburgh thought Seattle was coming in and beating them on that particular way. I don't think any Yinzer thought that was possible. Possible. I know that Seattle Seahawks fans thought it was possible because they think they have a good team. They're like McDonald's defense good. Like, hey, he's got a good defense. That's why he got this job. Sam Darnold, you forgot good. Also out there, I think they like being under the radar.

[AJ Hawk]

Walker under Raider, under the radar as well. Kenneth Walker, man, I love that.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, especially if nobody's going to tackle him or try to get any lane discipline out there. On the third and 20 in the.

[Tone Diggs]

Fourth quarter, he had 100 yards on 13 carries, I think.

[Pat McAfee]

So that was pretty good. Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

That's the other thing. He's running all pissed off because they're just using Zach sharpening that too. So he's all, you know, motivated with him with Charbonnet kind of creeping up on him for Pittsburgh, like the rule thing. I saw people killing Caleb Johnson, rookie. Let's remember Kyle Use check went to Harvard. He didn't know the rules in the super bowl when it came to overtime. But are people pissed at Tomlin for this too? Like in Pittsburgh, just because like rookie not knowing the rules, you kind of point right at.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Tone Diggs]

Not just for that. That also the defense is, you know.

[Pat McAfee]

Because that's his thing. How much money is on defense. Side of ball number one.

[Tone Diggs]

Number one. I think like 150 million. I didn't know the exact number, but I just know it's number one in the NFL.

[Pat McAfee]

Highest paid defense in the NFL. And Kenneth Walker's good runner.

[Darius J. Butler]

Jackson Smith and Jigba, he's a stud.

[Ty Schmidt]

Cooper cup played really well yesterday.

[Pat McAfee]

And also if you think about Seattle, they're big coffee city, right? So 10am Local start might have been good for nothing. You know that they. That wake up at 5am local for this particular game in Pittsburgh. Okay. Sick. Sun shining in Pittsburgh. That's great.

[Tone Diggs]

It was a beautiful day.

[Pat McAfee]

Glorious day.

[Tone Diggs]

Beautiful day across the board.

[Pat McAfee]

Everything was set up for the Steelers.

[Tone Diggs]

Oh my God, it was. And I. Dumpy called me beforehand. I was like, I'm feeling really good. And that kind of scares me.

[Pat McAfee]

And then it happened. How Boss, dude, you guys give him a pain. Was perfect. Give him favors.

[Tone Diggs]

Wait, I've tried. I keep trying to. Trying to.

[Connor Rogers]

Maybe they take some money from Hayward now that he can't stop them.

[Pat McAfee]

He got a deflection for a pick. Yeah, deflection for a pick. And you look, there's runs. They weren't going. They weren't going through the head of Hayward.

[Connor Rogers]

No, that's true.

[Pat McAfee]

They were going on the other side out there. Seems like that's been an issue back to back weeks here.

[Tone Diggs]

Yes, it has. They just keep running away from Teach.

[Pat McAfee]

They found the fish. Yeah. We just go this way. Move it around. Oh, they said. They said they would, but then what do they do? They put them over there. Guess what they're going to do? They're going to run the other way.

[Darius J. Butler]

I mean, at least they're going to.

[Pat McAfee]

Run the other way.

[Darius J. Butler]

At least make them think you coming to the game, playing on Wednesday. You know, 890 is going to be here.

[Tone Diggs]

My back is running new.

[Darius J. Butler]

Put the whole game plan away from him.

[Pat McAfee]

Stats guy Daniel. Daniel Valente here's Steelers ranks through two weeks per True Media. True Media always gets it right.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

Defensive success rate, 31st. EPA per play, 29th.

[Darius J. Butler]

Know what that is exactly?

[Connor Rogers]

Defensive success rate.

[Pat McAfee]

Rate. Yeah, yeah. Yards per play, 29th. Yards per game, 29th. Positional spending first. Oh, that's via over the cap, via True Media, via Daniels. That's. Yeah, you know. Points allowed, 29.

[Ty Schmidt]

Not good.

[Connor Rogers]

That is a. Jeez Louise.

[Pat McAfee]

That is that. Jeez Louise. Steelers might be dead then. We thought the Detroit Lions were done. AJ did you see them? Guess who's back. Back again. Dan Campbell is all you need to know, my friend. Hey, ran this up on the Chicago Bears. It looked like it was going to be a game early, obviously. I think probably a lot of Lions fans were wondering what type of season it was going to be. A little carryover from week one into week two. Oh, maybe we do stink. Maybe all the new coordinators are a problem. Maybe we still have the guys, but we don't have the brain that we had last year. Everything's going to be shit again. Oh no. The Detroit Lions are just a Thanksgiving game where everybody watches them lose. That is what was on the line for this Detroit Lions team. And the brand new Lions showed up in a huge way. AJ Amal Ross St. Brown has three tuds, Jared Goff gets back on his bullshit and the defense just said, nah, you're not scoring anymore. 50 some points. Obviously a blowout. The Lions all the way back. AJ at one and one after week two.

[AJ Hawk]

I mean I'm definitely feel much better now than I did a week previous. But like what about the Bears? What about the team they're playing? Like, do, do you take any into, into account that they were playing the Bears and they looked this good and they also had like the spike game situation? I didn't, I'm sorry. I was not aware how pissed off they were at Ben Johnson. I really was not. I, I mean I thought like, yeah, you know, I might be in the division, Rob, survival, all that stuff. But you know, everyone wants to be a head coach and he felt like that was best opportunity.

[Darius J. Butler]

I.

[AJ Hawk]

The Detroit Lions do not feel that way, do they? They feel like they have real hatred towards him taking that deal.

[Pat McAfee]

I thought the Lions fans had it, you know, felt like it was a media driven thing like this guy and like people that aren't around it, like, yeah, he could have won anywhere. Why did he go to Chicago? It's like, well, there's only certain jobs that open up and there's only certain opportunities that you would take and if you, you know, speak reasonably to a fan, fans, immediate reactions. I don't care. Why do you go to Chicago? We don't like Chicago. Why would he go anywhere near the NFC North? I didn't know. To your point AJ that trickled into the locker room. That definitely trickled in the locker room.

[Connor Rogers]

Yes.

[Pat McAfee]

Players were talking about it after the game. I mean that is like. But you would think to your point, AJ Business. Like the players understand business. Business, business. Especially at the NFL level as opposed to the college level. I like that. Mcdc was probably in there stirring it up a little bit. He, he wanted to play you guys twice A year. That's what he thought of you. And the boys remembered it.

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah. You know, the coaches always find a way to different ways to try to motivate the guys. You can definitely tell that was the message throughout the locker room. Now Jared Goff, he had a handful of games like this last year, so who knows, maybe he was just back on his. You know, Bears are still kind of banged up on the back end, but yeah, seeing him spreading the ball around, seeing him be protected, seeing seeing them get that running game back going was great. And then JMO coming out after the game said, yeah, I don't. Didn't really feel much difference with Ben Johnson not being here. I thought that was very, very interesting. But you need these kind of Games Week 1. Look, the packers, what we've seen from them so far, they may just be the best all around team in football right now. So you take that lump early, you know you're going to see that team again down the stretch. And when you have a chance to put up a 50 burger against an opponent that you have any type of history with, you do it especially on your home turf.

[Pat McAfee]

Great catch there. I also love the Jared Golf. We got to zoom in on his eyeballs. He's locked in, laser focused. It's, you know, it's the brand new Golf. Not the same old Gooflovsky that people were saying. Yes, exactly. And noticing these clips, he has so much time and that was the key thing I wanted to watch all weekend to see if the offensive line could actually block for him and if we could get the run game going. So we got the run game going and then we go play action and all of this opens up and it's good. Sonic and Knuckles again.

[Connor Rogers]

Yes, they're good.

[Pat McAfee]

Cuz I don't like all these nicknames everyone has for our team right now. Okay. Ass in cheeks. That's not nice. Pui. That's even worse. Enough nicknames, okay?

[Connor Rogers]

Sonic, Sonic and Moose Knuckles is pretty funny.

[Adam Ray]

Foxy, admit that Moose Knuckles is good.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Okay. Gumps is animal. Yeah, just a little bit of a retweet there from the back row if anybody else needed it. Let's go to the Bears. There's some bad news coming out of Chicago. Adam Stuffner has reported. Jalen Johnson, Pro bowl corner for the Bears is out indefinitely with a groin injury. Happy to hear it's just groin, but also sucks that this has happened to Jalen Johnson. The way Adam Schefter was kind of speaking, we thought maybe something very, very, very, very, very serious. Was happening. It is a groin injury. The team is still evaluating the full extent of the injury, whether surgical injury is necessary and how long Johnson will be sidelined. Johnson exited the second quarter the Bears lost to the Lions after sustaining the injury while breaking up a pass. He missed all training camp, the preseason and Chicago's opener with a groin injury. Okay, so he came back too early is what the easy thing is to say here at corner. You got to be healthy. Yeah, you got to be healthy. Yeah. But they'll take advantage. You will get exposed, you're not healthy.

[Darius J. Butler]

And those soft tissue things like if they, I mean, they take forever to heal. If you have have one of those, a groin, a calf, a hammy, a quad, you got to kind of let it fully heal, which is tough during the season. A lot of people say, you know, you come into the season limping, you're going to leave it limping. So this is tough. But hopefully he goes away and gets healthy and then comes back because he is a very, very, very good corner. When he is healthy and out there.

[Pat McAfee]

Playing football, what will the Bears look like whenever he returns? What will the expectations be on the Bears when he returns? We don't know. Still a lot of season left for all teams. Teams.

[Connor Rogers]

True.

[Pat McAfee]

Never forget it. Four teams who've started zero and two have made to the Super. Yeah, you're right. Okay, four of them. So it's been done before. Yeah, it was the far right column. Of the teams that go into. Bang, there it is. Four have made Super Bowl 45, made the playoffs. Okay, you make the dance. You never know what's going to happen. You might be absolute ass right now. You might have got screwed maybe by a call or 10. Just know there's a lot of games left, 15 of them. You can turn every everything around. This ship can still sail into glory. Four teams have made the Super Bowl. You could still do that. I don't know if Dolphins fans feel that way right now.

[Connor Rogers]

No chance.

[Darius J. Butler]

Owen two team or Bears?

[Tone Diggs]

Saints, Saints, Dolphins, Browns, Panthers.

[Pat McAfee]

Those are all Chiefs are owing to. Chiefs, yeah. Chiefs.

[Connor Rogers]

Chiefs.

[Pat McAfee]

Let's. On that note, let's talk about the Eagles. Eagles get another win, go into the kingdom, do their thing. People real pissed about the touch push because of all the penalties. How ugly it looks.

[AJ Hawk]

AJ Is this a just a new thing or what with them getting such a great jump? I mean, good luck stopping this. There's no chance it's run it to perfection. But the thing is though, like, everyone's technically allowed to run it. Let's study it and try to run it exactly like the Eagles do.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, we're running the Dimes dive here in Indianapolis.

[Tone Diggs]

There is no push behind that, is there?

[Pat McAfee]

The Dimes dive.

[Tone Diggs]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

No. Nobody knows they're running it on the offense either. You'll see a tight end and wide receiver get like the. The guys on the outside, the tight ends, wide receivers that are blocking. I think they end up at Danny Dimes. His feet, too. I mean, they're getting tossed. Yeah. They get kind of shoved in there as well there as their guy goes. So I think we're just trying to perfect it at this moment. We will know that. We will.

[Tone Diggs]

It already has been.

[Darius J. Butler]

I mean, one with Tyler Warren.

[Pat McAfee]

That was a fake one.

[Darius J. Butler]

Got up under his.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. And then they brought in their tackles and he drifts out and then all of a sudden we try to run it out to the outside. Shane.

[Connor Rogers]

And they're gonna run one with Warren. It's gonna be awesome. Because it probably won't be the Dimes dive. It'll be like the Warren jump. And he's gonna take like a wildcat snap and he's gonna jump eight feet over the goal line into the end.

[Pat McAfee]

See, what I'm thinking he's gonna do is gonna be the Warren Waltz. He's gonna. He's gonna walk right down the field. He's gonna take the snap and then he's just gonna walk. Backpacking.

[Connor Rogers]

Backpacking, sure.

[Pat McAfee]

Like Neil Brown backpack. And then the boys in front of them are going to be. Borlaney.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Yaney, sure. He's going to be pushing and rolling the pasta, the dough right down there. And he's just going to walk. It's going to be a touchdown. That might be the next play that everybody wants to ban. Can't tackle the Sasquatch. We know. Figure it out. It's football. Colts win the Super Bowl. AJ I don't know if you saw wild leverage call.

[AJ Hawk]

Wild call on that field goal, but you know what it is?

[Pat McAfee]

What?

[AJ Hawk]

Secondly, he. Technically, you cannot. So he's saying he pushed off of him to try to jump. Is that what.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, he pushed down. Ain't trying to break his. Look at him try to break his neck.

[Ty Schmidt]

You can see him touching his springboard up off it.

[Pat McAfee]

Leverage.

[AJ Hawk]

The rules.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[AJ Hawk]

You cannot touch. You cannot touch him. I think the rule is stupid. I think you should be able to bull rush that dude and jump over top. But these are the rules. I get it.

[Pat McAfee]

Hey, I agree. If we're just gonna play chaos with no rules, let's do it okay, let's just not play within the rules of the game.

[AJ Hawk]

No, I mean now the rules have changed. I'm saying the rule is dumb, but under the rules, yes, you can make that call.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, for leverage as a defender as Craig rolls. Leverage. I said you're not allowed to place your hand on an opponent or a teammates and push off to propel yourself into the air to block a kick. In this case, number 92 came across the line line to the right guard and he put his hands on the right guard and pushed off him to elevate himself in the air and in order to try and block the kick. You're not allowed to do that. It was personal foul and a 15 yard penalty. In this case. Since it was the last play of the game and it was a foul on defense, we extended the game for one on time down. We assessed the 15 yard penalty and they were able to run out of the play. Is AI answering these questions? That doesn't sound like a human.

[Ty Schmidt]

No, it does.

[Pat McAfee]

That's bullshit.

[Tone Diggs]

No, that's referees.

[Pat McAfee]

There's no way that is coming out of somebody's mouth. I feel like I'm a above average speaker communicator There.

[Adam Schefter]

There.

[Pat McAfee]

That sounded like chat. GPT answered that question.

[Ty Schmidt]

I could see that that was a.

[Pat McAfee]

Grok answer right there. I mean for leverage as a defender, you're not allowed to place your hand on an opponent or a teammate and push off to propel yourself into the air to block a kick. In this case, number 92 came across the line to the right guard and he put his hands on the right guard and pushed off him to elevate himself in the air in order to try and block the kick. You're not allowed to do that. It is personal foul and a 15 yard penalty in this case since it was the last play. That's not like a robot.

[Connor Rogers]

I bet they, I bet they did use chat. GPT printed it out and we're like. This is what you said, guys.

[Tone Diggs]

Who are we talking about? We're talking about referees here. This is what they, they are. They're not human beings.

[Pat McAfee]

Valid. Can we ask AI if AI wrote that?

[Tone Diggs]

Yes, you could?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

You can copy and paste it.

[Tone Diggs]

Yeah, send me the picture.

[Pat McAfee]

That doesn't sound like a human speaking.

[Connor Rogers]

No, not at all.

[Pat McAfee]

Cuz the way, the way does it.

[Darius J. Butler]

I haven't heard Craig speak before, so.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, it's true.

[Connor Rogers]

We heard him speak at the, at the game. He be. He was pretty normal. He was funny and he's.

[Pat McAfee]

The white cap is that White cap right there. Yeah, he had a great game. A lot of flags.

[AJ Hawk]

Mvp.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Lot of fl. Mvp. There was a lot of calls against the Colts that were a bunch of.

[AJ Hawk]

Oh, I know. I enjoy watching the Colts play football. I really do. I truly do. But is the rule I can't put my hands on them or I can't forcibly push? Do we know. It's like, hey, any contact is boom, penalty. I hope I call this a push. I'm not. That's not a push.

[Pat McAfee]

He propelled himself clearly. See the springboard?

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah. He holds.

[Pat McAfee]

And also, if you get in the air, I don't think you're allowed to land on anybody either. Is like, another part of the rule that I think you could. There's like, six different things that they probably could have called on this, but I think what Broncos are saying is, is this happen on every kick, or are we just calling this on a game winner from 60 that the guy was nowhere near making and changes the entire outcome of the game?

[Darius J. Butler]

You got to have some balls to throw that flag.

[Pat McAfee]

They were throwing a lot of flag. It was almost like a. You were calling it. Yeah, it.

[Darius J. Butler]

It was kind of going both ways, though. Colts got some shitty ones. I think the Broncos got some shitty ones. But to call that one, like, game winner, 60 yarder, and L with that six yarder, you know, I think the in the game operation with all this stuff we've been talking about Danny Dimes and how much. How well that were moving the ball, I think we could have been a little more aggressive there, maybe get a little more yardage, don't set up spank for a 60 yarder. But, yeah, that was. That was a. That was a ballsy call right there by the white cap or whoever threw it.

[Pat McAfee]

They were all throwing a lot of flags. Yeah, I mean, they. They really said, hey, it's our. It's our league, too. And week one, I don't think we talked about the refs much. I think after that Colts game, my first takeaway was, oh, the refs want to be talked about a little bit after how much Craig's crazy through was throwing it, but then changing the yeah, leverage. Anytime you say that.

[Adam Ray]

I mean.

[Pat McAfee]

But I could barely hear it get out of his mouth because all we saw was whatever it was, and then this way, and we're like, mulligan time. Yes. Yeah. 45 yard mulligan. Guaranteed make for a NFL guy. Guaranteed make for an NFL guy. Look at him pull, shoot, push.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, you just can't do that.

[Darius J. Butler]

Point of emphasis now.

[Pat McAfee]

Now, if the Colts do that, let's make sure we learn from this, boys, and make sure it's not as obvious.

[Ty Schmidt]

Well, and that's why, I mean, in Craig's defense, if you're gonna do that, that was the time to do it. You're in Indianapolis, you got a home game. It's like, you know what? I'm gonna be a hero in this city for the rest of this season.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay?

[Ty Schmidt]

So if it's even close, I'm gonna throw this flag. I'm gonna give them another opportunity. I'm gonna make sure they win.

[Pat McAfee]

Tone, put it into chat GPT.

[Tone Diggs]

And now this could be chat GPT coverage covering for AI. But it says the statement doesn't look like it was written by by AI. It's actually very typical of the official post game poll report explanations.

[Pat McAfee]

Nfo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting.

[Tone Diggs]

Who can we trust? No one.

[Pat McAfee]

I want to let no whichever AI know that made that call. We appreciate it. Yeah, we had a great time. Broncos fans are not thrilled about it. They are not thrilled about it. Some other storylines around the NFL that we haven't really chatted about. Rams get a big time win. Oh, yeah. Congrats to Rams as AJ Loses focus a little bit up there. Love that the Rams are going to be a real team. Puka Nakua is untackled. This guy is outrageous. They just handed the ball off to him. It was very muddy. It was all ooze to the crib. Puka nakua on a fourth and one gets to the end zone. McVay seemingly always going to have great offense. And on defense, they got dogs all over the place. Congrats to the Rams being a team. This west coast now starting to have some teams over there going to have to pay attention to.

[Connor Rogers]

Oh, yeah, and Stafford and Devonte got going. Devant, they had his first 100 yard game as a Ram. Here's his touchdown right there, too, in an absolute bucket. And then also for the Titans, like, hey, this Texans team that we're going to see tonight, they only scored nine points on this defense for Cam Ward. I mean, I mean, shoot, you're not looking for moral victories, but last week we kind of talked about the tweet that said Cam Ward good, Titans bad. This play was unbelievable. I mean, this is across the field, touchdown on third down. Like the. The stuff you're seeing as a Titans fan out of Cam Ward. You got to be happy. But yeah, the Rams are very much for real. They're going to be in it.

[Pat McAfee]

Titans. Oh, and two. But everybody's saying they got a guy down there. Congrats to them. Cardinals beat the Panthers. Panthers had a little bit of a comeback coming on 27. Three was the score. And then all of a sudden, Panthers start piling it on. Piling on. Cardinals end up getting a win. Are we in on the Cardinals?

[Darius J. Butler]

Oh, you. No.

[Pat McAfee]

Are we in on the Panthers?

[Ty Schmidt]

No. And for whatever reason, it seems like these two teams play each other 12 times a year. I don't know how, but I watch. I watched this game at least three, four of the Sundays of the NFL season.

[Pat McAfee]

I think it was Cardinals and Carolina a couple years ago. Now, is it now they're out there.

[Ty Schmidt]

You're right, it's.

[Pat McAfee]

And when they're playing, we could probably look at the whole slate and go, this slate kind of ass this week.

[Ty Schmidt]

And it's always in the 4 o' clock slot. So there's only like one other game.

[Connor Rogers]

Three of them are 2 and 0 now, too.

[Pat McAfee]

There's so many chances, you know, like, so many chances that Kyler can create himself. There's so much to, like, I don't want to say fall for. Yeah. But for the Cardinals, there's so much that it's like, wait, could this be the year? Could this be the year? Obviously, we're fans of Gannon, coach. We love Gannon. We love the way they play. We love that what Kyler's able to do are the Cardinals for real.

[Darius J. Butler]

I love Trey McBride.

[Pat McAfee]

Nobody in here saying, yes.

[Darius J. Butler]

They're 2.0right now, A.J.

[Pat McAfee]

Nobody'S showing him any love the Cardinals at all.

[AJ Hawk]

That's good, though. They're in a good spot. I think they're in a great, A great spot because of that. I know AQ will have his opinions on it, but I think turning, like, imagine, though, just trying to just think about facing this dude. Like, come on. It would be impossible. Like, I would hate to play against him. I have a lot of respect for what he does. But the Cardinals, I don't know what, maybe eight, nine games in, then people will say, okay, one way or the other, what they feel about.

[Pat McAfee]

No, people still give them no credit. They are a team that gets no credit. I think personally undefeated right now. Now they're running the NFC South. South. They're running the NFC south right now. From the Saints, where Kyler was up at 4:30 in the morning dumping and puking all over the place because a little food poison dinner. My little bad gumbo. I didn't know they had that. I thought they only had good gumbo.

[Connor Rogers]

I'll tell you what, he didn't have any bad gator.

[Pat McAfee]

No, definitely. If you were Governor Landry down there, you shoot that gator right in the head. Go hunting that thing. So he was sick. Week one, they win. Now, obviously, he's playing his best ball. I like the Cardinals, but you talk about the undefeated people out there. I mean, that team that's. That conference is starting or that division starting to look really good.

[Connor Rogers]

Well, and it's a different era. But even when the cardinals were 11 to no with Kliff Kingsburg, it felt like no one really gave a shit just because the other teams in there. And I think that is the thing. Like, everyone loves the Rams. Everyone is pretty high on the Niners right now while they're healthy. And the Cardinals just always seem to be that team that aside from playing, playing the Panthers six to seven times a year, they end up winning eight to nine games. Look unbelievable. Kyler does stuff just like this and then inevitably they kind of fall apart in the end.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, it's all about who you're facing the last three weeks of the season. If they're a better team than you, everybody's going to go into the off season thinking you're not a good team. A team that we thought was going to be good, still undefeated. Cincinnati Bengals. Aj, you're obviously over there in Ohio. Just brutal. Never ends. It really seemingly never ends for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Bengals fan base. Obviously this time it'll be at least three months for Joe Burrow. Has to get surgery on a broken turf toe that he suffered yesterday on a very kind of normal sack, seemingly. We've seen him take much tougher hits, much stronger hits. This one's going to be the one that is going to have Jake Browning as the starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals for the next three months. That's a long time. Fifteen games left in the season. Three months is 12 weeks. That's at the early of this thing. Could be 14 now. Obviously there's a bye weekend there as well, but this sucks for the Cincinnati Bengals and for Joe Burrow. Aj, your thoughts over there in Ohio?

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, well, they finally got out to that fast start that Zach Taylor's been chasing for the last, what, three, four, five years. But unfortunately losing Joe is just brutal. And I think Browning can play like he can sling it, but nobody is Joe Burrow. We know like the Bengals are. Everything has run through Joe. And for it to happen on a play like this, too, it's weird. I don't know. Three months is wild. I Hope Jake Browning can find a way, but, man, he's going to need some help for sure.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. And there's a lot of obviously in that play, he skips out of the pocket, comes back into the pocket, he's under duress. It's like that's kind of been the story of Joe Burrow with the Cincinnati Bengals even during their super bowl run. I think he was sacked 11 times in one of the games and then nine times in another one of the.

[Connor Rogers]

Game, like eight in the Super Bowl.

[Pat McAfee]

This has kind of just been the story, including the final play with Aaron Donald where if he has a half, a second longer he hits Jamar Chase, they might win the Super Bowl. They win the super bowl in this entire thing. So this has kind of been the story of the Joe Burrow Cincinnati Bengals, AFC north, though also a division that gets after the quarterback as well. So it's going to get exposed if you can't protect your quarterback. And obviously it happens here to Joe Burrow. This sucks, dude. It's.

[Tone Diggs]

It doesn't. Jake Browning had a. Had a good year last time. He had to do this for Joe Burrow, so hopefully there's some hope. And he did lead them to the victory yesterday, even though he had three interceptions. And the Jack like that game. Neither of those teams wanted to win that game. And Jamar Chase was unbelievable yesterday. But no, like, if you wanted to compete for the north and against the Ravens, like, I think that might be probably out the window. But there's still, you know, you still hold on hope for the playoffs and maybe there's a chance that Joe can go back for that.

[Pat McAfee]

Joe coming back for the playoffs and the Bengals going on a magical run would be insane. 49ers and Mac Jones go down to New Orleans and do their thing. A Mac, I brought this up to Schefter. Schefter said no way he is tied in there, okay? D Butt said no way as well, because there's 180 million in guarantees. It's one game. But if you're Kyle Shanahan, he wanted. He traded the future of the team to get this dude at number three. And then he goes on his voyage from New England to Jacksonville, gets humbled multiple times, learns different offenses, learns different situations, is publicly executed, basically publicly ridiculed and murdered by everybody in. In football saying, this guy stinks, basically. Then he ends up with in Kyle Shanahan's offense. Kyle is a guy that will make that decision. Kyle is a guy that would do that $180 million maybe not but Mack and he looks great executing an offense with some injuries across the board.

[AJ Hawk]

AJ yeah they did and it wasn't just like dinking and dunking like Max pushing the ball down the field. So I I wasn't was impressing I you would imagine that that that Mac does have a good relationship with Kyle and they started off the right way. Let's see if they can find a way to keep this up. But yeah Mac did he he looked the part. Maybe he is like a little more mature. We'll see I guess when the first time he slides if he tries to kick the dude in the dog what happens Maybe if Kyle if Kyle wants him to do that or not. But yeah. Good first start for sure.

[Pat McAfee]

I forgot he was dong kicker whatever. He had a lot of stuff that made him very hateable but he was playing for a team that was hated by the masses at the time. A little bit different now. I think most people are kind of indifferent to this era. New England Patriots beat the hell out of the Dolphins in a close one. Patriots get a win. AJ Drake may looks like they're he's real. Are the Patriots real con man?

[Connor Rogers]

I would say so. I would say the bones of the Patriots are real again. It's going to be tough because Pittsburgh this upcoming Sunday it's one of those situations where until they beat beat a team that you know is good it's going to be impossible to say hey the Patriots are back until they do something of relevancy against the Buffalo Beals.

[Pat McAfee]

What do you think A.J. you think the Patriots are a good team? You think Dolphins ass team. This was a battle this game.

[AJ Hawk]

Oh yeah, I think a little bit of both there. I think the Patriots are a good team. They're definitely not a great team yet. But I think they have the possibility to become great late in the year.

[Pat McAfee]

Maybe People are talking about Dolphins as if they are just ass cheeks. Yeah, we're talking about getting clapped every week. 15 more games got capability become the first ever team to be 0 and 17 as well as being the first ever team to go completely undefeated back in 1972. The Dolphins have both ranges potentially on the horizon. What are your thoughts D butt South Florida got.

[Darius J. Butler]

It's ugly. It's ugly right now. The things the things that is most concerning is the quarterback and the head coach not being on the same page when it comes to personnel and operation. All these things. They've been together for what four years now. So if you came into this season that was the thing you want to hang Your hat on.

[Pat McAfee]

All right.

[Darius J. Butler]

We got explosive weapons. Tyreek did finally have a 30 plus yard catch. He had a 47 yard. He went over 100 yards but he had another terrible interception. Talking about too. And then defensively, even though we don't have a bunch of household names on defense, I thought we had some good players, a good defensive coordinator. So for the dark offense to start off, I believe first 10 or 11, however many drives to give up points on every drive, that is. That's tough.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Tone Diggs]

And I don't know if the Patriots are good or bad but I. I am pretty quite sure that Drake May is good and that's all that really matters.

[Pat McAfee]

I'm pretty quite sure the same thing. The Patriots also have a 50 year old coach who's trying to run with kickoff return.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, exactly.

[Pat McAfee]

It's good. Str. How's he not pop his hammy here? Look at that lean.

[Darius J. Butler]

It's good leg. It's unbelievable.

[Pat McAfee]

I mean everything about it. He's at 90, knees at 90. Good lean on there, there. And I don't know if he thought he was going to keep up with him or not. Looks like he's running a little bit of mud, but he certainly got down there. The Patriots all the way back. Con man.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah. And it does feel like it is a little bit of a different vibe. I'm not going to say people like the Patriots or anything or they want them to be good, but it does feel like there is some sort of buzz around. Like hey, the NFL is almost better when the Patriots are good. It feels like Vrabel also pretty baby face over with a lot of fans. Like I almost feel as though you guys and a lot of the country wants the New England Patriots to be good and that is why we're all Patriots.

[Pat McAfee]

You said, you said NFL is starting to realize that it's better when the Patriots are good. That's Boston, brother. One last thing, a little bit of an update here from Jeremy Fowler about the Baltimore Ravens, a team that could potentially go win a Super Bowl. LaMar Jackson, number one passer rating in the history of the NFL. Absolute beast with the arm and obviously on the ground. And now Kyle Van Noy is potentially going to miss multiple games due to a hamstring injury suffered on Sunday. Not going to call him old, but I'm just going to say sometimes as you age, these types of injuries linger a little bit. Kyle is in incredible shape, takes care of his body very well. We assume he'll be back as soon as physically possible. Bummer though for this Baltimore Ravens team.

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah, bummer. You always want one of your best pass rushers out there. Led him in sacks last year. But as you mentioned, as you get older league, these things get tougher to bounce back from. But hopefully he has the, you know, the proper amount of time to recover and then finish this season strong. But I feel like the Ravens defense, they obviously have the pieces, they have the talent. They just got to continue to get better week in and week out.

[Pat McAfee]

Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is the undisputed super middleweight champion. He's currently a champion at five different weight classes. Keys just kind of all over the place. 42, 0 and O.

[Ty Schmidt]

No big deal.

[Pat McAfee]

You never fought anybody. You never fought anybody. Who would you like? Well, Canelo Alvarez. Well, he's like 15 pounds heavier than me. Well, why don't you fight him? Sure, I'll do that. And then what will I do? Put on a master class in the fight of the century. The fighter of the century out of Omaha, Nebraska, ladies and gentlemen, Terrence Bud Crawford. How's it going, man?

[Darius J. Butler]

Great.

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

Going great. Hey, relax.

[Pat McAfee]

We appreciate you representing America out there, brother, in the the hood of the century and getting a big time win. How does it feel here a couple days removed, I don't know how many hours. Maybe 36 hours removed from that fight. Did it feel special when you were in there and then immediately afterwards, did we celebrate this thing properly?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

Of course it felt special. You know, it was a historical moment. Historical fight. I just chilled afterwards, went to dinner and just came back and relaxed.

[Pat McAfee]

Been there, done that, brother sent. My first fight. It's my 43rd. Okay. You gotta do what you gotta do. Ninth round, you had it one. I think everybody thought, like, you were winning the fight. Then there was a moment where you two just went to the middle class, almost. Almost a point at the middle of the ring and said, let's just bang here. Let's get after it. What is the mindset? Is it to put on a show, do you think, in this moment, okay, I'm built for this, and also I can outclass them in here. Like, what is the strategy round around? And in this exact moment, did it feel like Allegiant Stadium just needed a little some fireworks real quick?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

Well, you know, it's a fight, you know, like I said before, you know, we're gonna do a lot of switching up and we're gonna do a little bit of everything in there. We gonna do a little bit of boxing, we're gonna do a little bit of banging, counter punching, you know, it's gonna go a lot of places in that ring, and that's, you know, one of the places that it end up in, is in the middle of the ring.

[Pat McAfee]

Have you seen the clip? Obviously you saw it live in person. I don't know if you remember every single moment of every single fight. You caught him. You caught him with a great left. His head spins, and then he looks back at you almost like a wow. Well, I did not expect that. And I expect that neither of you guys obviously get knocked down. Ever felt like you caught him with a few. Was there a moment where you thought maybe you ended it on, like, as you connected and then his jaw maybe impressed you? Or what was kind of the feel as you're kind of figuring each other out with the power and the strength of the shots to each other?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

Not at all. Canelo's a strong fighter. When I actually, when I caught him with that shot, he was actually, you know, anticipating the right hook. So he kind of rolled.

[Pat McAfee]

And then.

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

Was anticipating the right hook a little bit. So, you know, that's kind of why he looked at, like, it was like.

[Pat McAfee]

Had him on skates in there. Go ahead, aj. Yeah.

[AJ Hawk]

How do you prepare for a fight like this? Are you a guy that sits there? Do you watch a bunch of his. His older fights or his most recent fights? And I guess when you do bring a game plan into a fight, do you. Are you constantly changing that, especially in between. In between rounds, Are you making adjustments that your corner has given you and you can actually execute those in the next round?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

No, to be honest, you know, I don't watch a lot of fights in camp of my opponent because I know they not gonna fight me the same way. I let my. My team handle that. Let my team make sure that I'm in the best position possible for myself. So I just want to sharpen myself up and then fight week. You know, I watch a little bit of fights and see, you know, just to refresh my memory of what the tendency is and what they like to do. Then I make my adjustments on the flyers and the fight.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, so when you're in there early, you're feeling like, oh, wait a minute, because obviously there's a mystique of Canelo, just like you have the mystique of Terence Crawford here. So this was why it was the fight of the fight. There's a feeling out process, and then. Is there a moment? It's like, oh, I gotta go tell on this guy. I gotta go quick. Was that early? Is that going into the Fight, you feel that you just maintain that confidence throughout it all. Or is the first couple rounds a moment for you to realize, okay, okay, maybe this works, maybe this doesn't work.

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

Yeah, the first couple of rounds is always fell out round, see what you can get away with and what you can't. And then, you know, you go from there. You make, you know, the assessment on what works and what don't.

[Pat McAfee]

Size looked good in the fight. On that note, D Bun has a question for you.

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah, champ. You kind of talked about your. Your camp and getting ready for the fight. What was it like putting on the weight to. To jump up a couple weight classes?

[Pat McAfee]

How.

[Darius J. Butler]

How did you feel in the ring as far as your speed and as far as your power once you got in there?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

I felt great. I felt strong. It wasn't a sense of putting on a lot of weight. Like, a lot of people is running with that narrative and saying, oh, he had to put on all this weight. Like, no, I just didn't have to lose too much weight that way. I could put on, you know, a little way here and there because of course I get to do more in strength and condition, but I didn't have to put on too much weight.

[Darius J. Butler]

Okay.

[Pat McAfee]

I ran with that narrative. I thought you're. That's what everybody was saying. The people that ran with that narrative convinced me that that was a narrative because I don't know the world as much. The thought of not having to lose weight is probably a happier. Probably a happier. Was it a. How was camp? Good camp?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

It was great. You know, it wasn't a camp that we was focused on on weight, you know, so we could just focus on my craft and focus on, you know, getting stronger, which we was already strong, you know, but, you know, we. We don't know what we up against, so, you know, we. We definitely want to make sure our body is prepared for whatever onslaught Canelo brings. So, of course, you know, we gonna, you know, crush our eyes and dot our teeth and, you know, that's what we did in training.

[Pat McAfee]

You looked unbelievable. You looked absolutely unbelievable. Not that you ever don't, but it's just like, God, this guy looks like he is very prepared. And then as the fight continued, it felt that way. Turkey deemed you the fighter of the century, and obviously Ring Magazine and TKO come together to put this incredible event together. What has it been like, you know, with the modern world of boxing now that that Riyadh season has gotten involved and obviously Dana and Nick Khan of the wwe and it feels like anything is Possible in the boxing world now, is that the big takeaway that we should think after you and Canelo fight and have the success, or how do you kind of view it all?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

Yeah, for sure. You know, anything is definitely possible, you know, and a lot of people kept saying that what I was trying to accomplish was impossible. And I just kept saying, it's impossible until somebody do it, you know, and I'm gonna be the one to do it. And a lot of people looked at me and just, they said, okay, you know, and, you know, now I made a believer out of all of them.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, you got that ring, too. Turkey pointed. That ring. That ring, yeah. Yep. How you doing? You got one of these? You don't? I do. Allegiant Stadium, 70,000 plus watching me dang around Canelo. You outclassed him. That's what all the super boxing people are saying. Outclassed, outclassed. But it started a little differently than you normally start. Go ahead, con man.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, but you are the main attraction whenever you're fighting. But this fight, you were the first entrance. Normally you were kind of clean up hitter. Here we go. The attraction is here. Was it weird having to wait inside the ring while Canelo's doing his walk out? Did it feel like almost one of your early fights from that aspect just because you. You were already in there?

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, not at all.

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

You know, it's part of the game. You know, I've been in that position before, you know, it's been a long time, you know, but at the same time, I understand, you know, that he was the ace and he was the champion, and I was, you know, the challenger coming to take his title. So, you know, me going, me walking before him, hey, so be it. When the bell ring, it's all the same.

[Pat McAfee]

You should have put one of those 40, 50 pound things on that the deontay Wilder. Deontay Wilder had on. Just test yourself. Just test yourself. Have that on. The entire time. I assume that phone call was turkey or Dana or Canelo saying, when's the rematch? Or when is that type of conversation start for you? I already saw you getting called out.

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

By folks I don't know. You know, right now, you know, I'm resting and playing my. My victory, and I'm gonna go back to my family and I'm gonna just chill for a minute.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, Take it in, brother. Fighter of the century. Yeah. Yeah. Once in a century, fight all time looking who's the champion. Me, I'm gonna enjoy that. Let everybody else handle it. You're gonna Go back home, we assume to Omaha, Nebraska. Nebraska might have a team over there. Go ahead, Tone.

[Tone Diggs]

Yeah, champ. We all saw the Nebraska logo on the mouthpiece. That looks sick. How do you feel about Coach Rule and the boys this year?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

I feel great about them. You know, every year I'm always pulling for him, and I think this year we got a great team and, you know, we got a great staff, and I'm looking forward to big things with Nebraska Cornhuskers.

[Pat McAfee]

Can you tell me something about anybody can be a nobody? Because I saw Matt Rule hear you say it, and now everybody that's becoming like the Nebraska Cornhuskers, I think, like, mantra. Is that your thing?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

Well, you know, listen, every. Everybody always say that I fight nobodies, you know, and that was a big thing, you know, in a press conference, because, you know, I remember telling Canelo, so is you gonna be a nobody when I stump a moho in your ass? I just wanted everybody to remember that, you know, everybody that I fight, they say, oh, they nobodies or they watched or they this or they that. So, you know, anybody can be a nobody.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, we can certainly make them that way. Yeah, for sure. So.

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

So I like that. I like that phrase. You know, anybody can be a nobody.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, not deeper thing like anybody can be a bum and be a nobody. You know, it takes a lot to not be a nobody. And the amount of. Of work, obviously, that goes into all of this is something that not everybody gets to see every single day. Your commitment to your craft, into your sport was on showcase in front of 70,000 people. And now you're five division champion, the super doper, doper doper middleweight champ. I mean, it's just like. And we don't know what the. The money is, but we heard what it could have been, and then we heard what else it could have been, and we assume it's that one. You done good, bud. Hell, yeah, you done good, bud. AJ has another question for you. Go ahead, aj. Yeah.

[AJ Hawk]

How was the venue? It looked amazing on tv. Being in person, I can imagine watching it would be great. But what was it like for you fighting inside there in Allegiant Stadium?

[Darius J. Butler]

Oh, it was.

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

It was electrifying, you know, it was. It was great. You know, I remember my first time ever in arena was at WrestleMania. And I walked. When I walked in, I looked around and I was like, dang. I kind of got nervous because I was like, man, look at all these people in here. You gonna be fighting in this mug in September. Just preparing myself mentally of what it was gonna feel like what it was gonna look like, you know, and me walking in that arena, it was like, whoa. You know, once I walked out, all that went away. It was like, it's showtime, you know, so go out there, have fun, be the star in the sky and do what you do best. So, you know, I was more relaxed. I was more, you know, ready than ever, you know, for that moment.

[Pat McAfee]

I was watching all the stars ringside go crazy for you. Were you feeling that in the moment? Did you see Chappelle's losing his shit right over here, going crazy for Bud? Did you feel that? See that? And who all did you chat with afterwards?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

Well, I seen Dave Chappelle afterwards, but. But, you know, during the fight, Nah, I just seen, you know, my corner, Shakur Stevenson. I seen Bill Haney and Devin.

[Pat McAfee]

People.

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

I seen Chance, a rapper, you know, in the crowd, you know, the people I kind of made eye contact with.

[Pat McAfee]

While you're fighting?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

No, beforehand, while, you know, like, how I was fighting, but like, action, things like that.

[Pat McAfee]

Canelo. Chance, right there. Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

Watch this.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, last question for debug. Go ahead.

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah. You and Canelo obviously have a ton of respect for each other. And I saw something you did after the fight, you handed him back a bunch of his titles. Now, I don't know how often does this happen? I know they're customized every time you win one, but how often does it happen that you actually hand it back to the fighter?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

Well, you know, them is his titles. You know, it's all respect. You know, like I told everybody for, you know, a long time, I'm like, man, me and Canelo, you know, I got a lot, a ton of respect for Canelo. You know, I'm a fan of Canelo. I always been a fan of Canelo. And, you know, I wanted to be the one to give him back his belts. I didn't want my team handed back his belts. I wanted to be the one that give him back his belts.

[Pat McAfee]

That's sick. All you guys that fight each other for a living seemingly have such a better self sense of maturity about it all than I would anybody else. It was an honor to watch you work. Are you in the fountain blue right now?

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

Yes, sir.

[Pat McAfee]

That place is beautiful. Oh, yeah, we're there for Wrestlemania. That place is glorious. Enjoy it all. You've earned it. It was an honor to watch you fight on Saturday, and we can't, can't wait to see what you do next.

[Terrence Bud Crawford]

Appreciate it. Thank you.

[Pat McAfee]

Ladies and gentlemen, that is the champion, Terrence Bud. Crawford.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, baby. Champ. Terrence.

[Pat McAfee]

70,000 people boxing. Yep. Awesome. Yeah. Fight of the century. Two names.

[Connor Rogers]

It was stunning. At Mania, too. Like, you can attest to that, just being in there.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. The stadiums. Anytime the stadiums have a ring in them like any of the WrestleManias. Just walking out before anybody gets in there, and you're just kind of looking at the layout. It's like, geez, how are they gonna. People are gonna fill this whole place. That's a big. There's a lot of air area.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, yeah. Both nights, actually.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. And then you come walking out on the stage. Walk out on the stage. You just kind of like. It's hard not to just be like, whoa. Holy Super Bowl. Kicking off Super Bowl. That was hard not to just be like.

[AJ Hawk]

Feel the flat. Could you feel the flash bulbs going as you're approaching the ball?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, I thought maybe I had a little bit of wardrobe malfunction. You know, I thought there was a reason, you know, something hanging out here.

[Connor Rogers]

Go. Peace.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, no. This is history. Got it. Got it. Let me not whiff on this thing. They're pretty good. Not the best kickoff in the history of Super Bowls, but it's not the worst.

[Darius J. Butler]

That's the last time the coach started.

[Pat McAfee]

2 0, huh? Lost in a Super bowl to Saints.

[Darius J. Butler]

Got all the way to Super Bowl.

[Connor Rogers]

Don't worry, that's not happening this year. Saints aren't going anywhere.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, you're right. Maybe the packers, maybe the Dolphins. Lose that title. Will be the only team that goes unaffeed.

[Adam Ray]

That might be the one thing we.

[Pat McAfee]

Only ever hold on to. You watch Colts, brother.

[Adam Ray]

You got eyes on Larry's Anka, brother. Never take that.

[Pat McAfee]

You were in the barn, bro. I was there. You seen it. Culture. Something special. All right, we will continue digitally. We'll have Adam Ray join us in the next hour. We'll also show our full conversation with Brandon Aubrey, the kicker of the Dallas Cowboys. We got a chance to catch up with him, and this morning. He's a guy. Yeah, he's going to be a guy for a long time. We're thankful for him. And AJ has this message to say to everybody who's maybe a little down in the dumps today.

[AJ Hawk]

Enjoy the double Monday Night Football tonight, everybody. It should be a good one.

[Pat McAfee]

Double barrel Monday Night Football. We'll be back tomorrow to overreact to it all. Goodbye, aj.

[AJ Hawk]

Dan on one of their games. I was getting. There's Dano doing one.

[Darius J. Butler]

Oh, yeah, early one.

[Pat McAfee]

We tried. We tried to have him. He's on the early one. Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

He's on the. Yeah, he's on Bucks, Texans.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. That's sick. We tried to have him on today. He's got a production meeting. You know, ESPN NFL runs those, so we'll go ahead and put those right through the entirety of the show. Very kind to them. And also they need to do it because they don't get to work together as much. And I assume tonight is going to go flawless. Cannot wait to watch buccaneers and Texans, 10 o' clock, one. I'm a try. Yeah, I'm a try. I'm going to give it my best go. I'm pulling for me to watch that entire game.

[Darius J. Butler]

You stayed up for Canelo Cross profit fight.

[Pat McAfee]

I was a lot of my. I was getting a lot of calls from a lot of people. Everybody was there. I don't know if you guys saw.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, yeah. Everybody was there.

[Darius J. Butler]

Stay through.

[Pat McAfee]

There was billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars in that stadium.

[Connor Rogers]

Hundreds of billions.

[Pat McAfee]

Maybe trillions of dollars. Maybe. Maybe trillions of dollars in that stadium. I was getting texts from everybody. When do you get to fight? Not going. What do you mean you're not going? No, I was in Tennessee and I just got back, put my daughter to sleep. You're not coming to this? No. Who made that decision? That. That's what everybody said. Like me, motherfucker. That's far flight. What do you want me to. Everybody is here.

[Darius J. Butler]

It's five century.

[Pat McAfee]

Everybody is here that you've done business with, do business with, or will do business with in the future. Where the. The are you? I just put mackenzie down. She's actually pretty rowdy tonight. It was kind of a. I mean, I'm kind of a little tired, actually. Early morning Tennessee. I'm a little tired or whatever. This is outrageous. They're gonna tell stories about this is what they said.

[Connor Rogers]

I bet.

[Pat McAfee]

And I see the people that are all calling me sitting ringside. They look like they're having a great time. And I look around them, I'm like, everybody is there. Yeah. Oh, my God. Would have been nice to do some business with that person that per. Oh, my God.

[Tone Diggs]

This is what I'll say. If they want to do business with you, they'll come to you.

[Ty Schmidt]

I was going to say absence makes the heart grow fonder.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. And we are. We have become known as the group of people that don't go to those.

[Tone Diggs]

You're not their lap Precisely lap dog.

[Pat McAfee]

All right. We get invited to these parties.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. But no, thanks.

[Pat McAfee]

Everybody wears white. Yeah, thanks. We get Invited to these fests. You know, everybody's going to be there. Okay, we'll see. We'll see. I'm. I'm excited for it. I don't think we're going to make it next year. Next year, Next year.

[AJ Hawk]

We usually always make it. Those super bowl parties and all those cool get togethers.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, yeah. We got to be the only ones that do the super. And that's the only reason people go to the entire.

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, we'll see you there. Yeah, we'll see you there tonight for sure. Guys, can't.

[Pat McAfee]

Just can't do it as a group. We.

[Tone Diggs]

We have never done one, right?

[Connor Rogers]

We did one.

[Pat McAfee]

You guys did one.

[AJ Hawk]

You were the Posner. You guys were deposing.

[Pat McAfee]

That was football.

[Connor Rogers]

That was the national championship.

[Pat McAfee]

That was awesome.

[Tone Diggs]

That was college football.

[Pat McAfee]

That was a great. That was a great one to go to. That was the right one to go to. Just because it was. It was what, two hour drive away from the hotel. It was so far. It was perfect.

[Tone Diggs]

Connor drove us in a minivan.

[Pat McAfee]

Great traffic. It was fun.

[Connor Rogers]

That was a great time. But that's the only one we've ever been to, whether NFL or college.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. It's gonna be a new us. We're gonna go extend the olive branch. These people for sure. Yeah. Bruce, why don't you tell them we're coming?

[Adam Ray]

Noted.

[Darius J. Butler]

Walk in the rear car carpet.

[Pat McAfee]

That's one thing we're not doing. Not doing that.

[Ty Schmidt]

I guess we just had to do.

[Adam Ray]

That at the SPs, didn't we?

[Tone Diggs]

No, we avoided. We had to do the picture.

[Ty Schmidt]

Well, yeah, that I guess.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

They did just hurt us like cattle in front of the.

[Pat McAfee]

Force us to do a picture at the sps, which is cool. It's a good pick. I'm happy we did it. Happy we did it. Wasn't planning on doing that. And then they're like, all right, you're heading this way. No, I'm not. I am not going down that.

[Connor Rogers]

Walking in.

[Pat McAfee]

Everybody's going now. We don't have another entrance. Sweet. We're going to go ahead and get on out of here. We can find another entrance. Then we're lost in the bows. Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

In the legitimate bows.

[Darius J. Butler]

We're just worried about Gumps at that point.

[Pat McAfee]

Gump. There's no way Gumpy was going to find us down in the bows. He had to come through the front door. Yeah, Gumpy had to come through the front door. Which was the right move to get to us, by the way. Yeah, we're not good at that stuff. But that fight, I guess, was. Would have been a nice.

[Tone Diggs]

We went to Slap Festival.

[Ty Schmidt]

We did.

[Pat McAfee]

Boom. We extended. Yeah.

[AJ Hawk]

That's not that I want to go. I need to go to one of those. Those sound pretty sweet.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. We already did that. So it's going to be tough to get us to go to another one.

[Connor Rogers]

That's on you.

[Pat McAfee]

But I think I'm recording something.

[AJ Hawk]

Maybe Mitt. Maybe mid will come with me and be my plus one.

[Connor Rogers]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Yep.

[Tone Diggs]

Just know you have to wear.

[Pat McAfee]

We got to give you guys the microphones, the. The thing. And then we'll talk with the camera and Bailey with a camera.

[AJ Hawk]

That honestly would be a lot of fun. I would really enjoy myself. I'm not joking.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. But everybody you're going to walk into is going to have at least one audio person and one camera person for themselves. Every person there had their own goofball convention.

[Tone Diggs]

It was a goofball.

[Ty Schmidt]

It was a bit of a goofball.

[Pat McAfee]

It was all these things. Kind of a goofball. That's what we're talking.

[Connor Rogers]

Good call.

[Pat McAfee]

But they're good people trying to do their thing. All right, we're back on the other side. We got Adam Ray joining us. Cannot wait to chitchat with him. See the energy and spice that he rang? Hell yeah. Five sold out shows here in Indianapolis. Let's go. Happy for him, man. That's good news. He was also great vibes in a suite yesterday. He is a Seattle Seahawks fan, so his vibes are up because of what they did to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

[Ty Schmidt]

Sure.

[Pat McAfee]

But then also, you know that Seattle Pacific Northwest fandom. Loud. He was doing a lot of yelling body. He was helping third. Don. Let's get this thing loud. Okay. Yeah. We're talking. He was trying to be somebody that brought about happiness and joy in a win. Because if we would have lost with him in there, obviously. Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Get this guy.

[Connor Rogers]

What the.

[Pat McAfee]

Adam forever. Yeah. We're the best team in football a week ago.

[Ty Schmidt]

That's right.

[Pat McAfee]

You pop in here and we lose. Yeah. So he didn't want that. So he was helping team win. He was. He was up there with Blue. Yeah. Getting it going on jumbotron. He's up there.

[Darius J. Butler]

Did Blue get anybody in the week?

[Pat McAfee]

No cream pies for anybody but that we saw. But it was a joyful night. Adam got a little bored with the dance. Then he started doing his own.

[Connor Rogers]

Good move.

[Pat McAfee]

Started his own remix.

[Connor Rogers]

I like it.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. He was having a good time. Place was alive. All right, let's wrap up all the story lines. Let's make our predictions for tonight. How do we do this weekend? How do we do on picks? Do we know? I have not seen. AJ this is real. I have not seen.

[AJ Hawk]

It wasn't me.

[Pat McAfee]

Eight and six. You did good. Boom. Whoa.

[Connor Rogers]

Comes down to tonight, boys.

[AJ Hawk]

We got two tonight.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. All right.

[AJ Hawk]

I think I. I know which way I'm leaning so far on these two games.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, which way?

[AJ Hawk]

We'll see, won't we?

[Pat McAfee]

Well, I just like to know which way I'm going to be forced to go here. You know which will be?

[AJ Hawk]

I don't know yet, but I'm a big Baker Mayfield fan, and I do like Justin Herbert.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. All right. I'm okay with that if that's how this ends up going. I'm okay if that's how this ends up going.

[AJ Hawk]

But I don't know the. Though, actually, I'm not exactly sure because CJ Stroud is the man.

[Pat McAfee]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[AJ Hawk]

And Gino is legit.

[Pat McAfee]

Already? Didn't you already make your decision?

[AJ Hawk]

I didn't make any decisions yet. I just told you where I'm leaning.

[Connor Rogers]

Do you want to pick up right now?

[Tone Diggs]

He should have to send his picks off of air.

[Pat McAfee]

AJ what's your pick for which one? First game, Buccaneers, Texans. What's the money on right now?

[Tone Diggs]

The money?

[AJ Hawk]

Give me the Bucks at plus two and a half or plus three, whatever it is.

[Tone Diggs]

Two percent on the Bucks.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, 52% on the Bucks. Plus two and a half is the biggest he can get?

[Tone Diggs]

The odds are yes. Plus two and a half is the.

[Adam Ray]

Biggest you can get.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, so that means I'm on the Texans minus two and a half. And for second game, you got.

[AJ Hawk]

Give me the Chargers.

[Pat McAfee]

All right. And I'm on Pete Carroll on his birthday in the Raiders plus three and a half. Is that the most? Can I get 4?

[Tone Diggs]

3 and a half is. Is across the board.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, so I got plus three and a half with the Raiders and minus two and a half with the Texans at home. D. But do you like the picks? Who do you like?

[Darius J. Butler]

I go, I got Texans at home as well, minus two and a half. And then Chargers on the road, ruining Pete Carol's birthday. They win and they cover in Las Vegas.

[Adam Ray]

They just had tough barn, tough bar.

[Darius J. Butler]

I am a little afraid of that hook, but, you know, it is what it is.

[Pat McAfee]

The three point ball has created a.

[Ty Schmidt]

Monotonous rhythm to the game.

[Adam Ray]

Has the three pointer ruined ruined basketball?

[Pat McAfee]

And how did we get here? The rise of the three point shot can be partially traced to an eccentric Kansas genius named Martin Manley, whose story.

[Adam Ray]

Didn'T turn out quite the way he imagined. I decided I wanted to have one.

[Tone Diggs]

Good, how we doing?

[Pat McAfee]

Good. It's always nice whenever we see you over there. Not because, you know it's great to get you off stage, but it's because we have somebody special on stage.

[Ty Schmidt]

That's right, sure.

[Pat McAfee]

And obviously every day we have a nine year NFL vet. There you stay. Butler coming through much but he's big brain. He looks so cool. But ladies and gentlemen, you know him from either a standup comedy or standup specials. Or from Kill Tony where he is a multitude of characters. Or you know him from Young Rock where he was Vince McMahon. Tough casting.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, tough cast.

[Pat McAfee]

That is a tough guy to have to do yesterday. He was a die hard Colts fan. Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Ray. There it is. There it is. You name nailed it. You nailed it.

[Adam Ray]

I had the towel. Me and Sally were doing jello shots in the bathroom. I mean the vibes were high.

[Pat McAfee]

Yo. I don't know why you're in the bathroom with my mother, Sally, it was her birthday yesterday.

[Adam Ray]

She's trying to add a little spice to the show. Yeah, it was her birthday. Happy birthday, Sally.

[Pat McAfee]

Sorry. Add a little Spice. Yeah, Tim McFee loves here and then he's on his way back with his gun. No, no, you were a great fit in the suite yesterday, dude. Thank you for coming through.

[Adam Ray]

Thanks for the hospitality, you guys. I'd never been to a stadium. The vibes were so hot. People were so excited. I hadn't been, you know, you just get. It's infectious. Like when people are going that crazy and you see the Peyton Manning statue out front, you see the, you know, the McAfee statue. They're starting to build it, right?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

And. No, they're not. But. But they will.

[Pat McAfee]

But they will.

[Adam Ray]

You got to believe. As. As radio said, you know, and was. He said something. I haven't seen it, but it was.

[Pat McAfee]

He did say a lot of things.

[Adam Ray]

He said something shout out to Cuba, but he. It was. Was wild, man. You guys being 10 and. And Jones at the helm and the good D. And. And I mean, dude, meeting Tyrese right at the beginning was, you know, so sweet to me. And he was asking me what my, you know, diet plan was. And. And I was like, you know, six push ups a year and crustables and. And he'll be back soon. But it was awesome, man. You guys do it.

[Pat McAfee]

Don't you be telling anything to Tyrese. We. We need. We need him on grow chicken.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Grilled chicken.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Avocado, hdh.

[Pat McAfee]

All the hd. Whatever we need.

[Adam Ray]

Steroids shot up with everything.

[Pat McAfee]

He doesn't eat uncrustables right now. Uncrustables. Although they are delightful.

[Adam Ray]

Delicious. Dude, they're so good. Is that. What is the. What was the pregame snack back in the day?

[Pat McAfee]

I was an uncrustable guy for sure.

[Adam Ray]

For real.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. I like Reese's as well. And then my. What's that called? The metabolic rate hit zero.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

And I started getting fat for everything. The uncrustable stat that comes out of the NFL. I forget the number.

[Connor Rogers]

10,000, I believe, a month for NFL. NFL teams and incredibles.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Wow. Yes. That's where. So whenever you're talking about Tyrese, he's locked in his house right now. He's trying to go to events, you know, so he can be alive. But he's doing rehab and then going home. He's doing some gaming and.

[Adam Ray]

Gaming. He told me he was talking a lot of. To some kid in Nam on Halo or something. He's got to be doubt he's a gamer. 2K and.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, but he doesn't need to be thinking about uncrustables because one of those uncrustables, you know, that turns into.

[Adam Ray]

Well, it's a gateway snack to another one.

[Pat McAfee]

All of a sudden we got 400 pound tyres.

[Adam Ray]

Alberta, as a former fat kid, I'll tell you, I used to dip Pop Tarts double fisting into Cool Whip. Thanks, dad. Where's my thanks, dad Cam. Who left? Yeah, no, that's what happens. But you eat your feelings. But pop Tarts also shout out. So delicious. Dude, it's Kellogg's fault for having 97 flavors.

[Pat McAfee]

Did you see the movie?

[Adam Ray]

The pop tart movie?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, the Seinfeld one?

[Pat McAfee]

Yes.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, it's. But it was all right. Yeah, it was good. It was. Yeah, it was the story. I. I don't think anybody knew the story, so I'm happy to know the story.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. I don't know what people were expecting everything else, but I wish it had.

[Adam Ray]

More of a twist. I wish, like, Harrison Ford came in at the end and was just like, I work at Post. You're all gonna die. You know, just some. Yeah, I wanted a little more action. Seinfeld was just like, you know, there's not enough strawberry.

[Pat McAfee]

Are you a. I didn't see it. But you were flying high yesterday because.

[Adam Ray]

Flying high, man.

[Pat McAfee]

Because the Seahawks beat the hell out of the Pittsburgh.

[Adam Ray]

So we just give it up one time for SD Card as I'm calling them Sammy Darnold. No one's catching on with that nickname, but he is. He's dialed in, man. Our defense looks strong. I think we had 146 yards passing week one against the Niners. 268. Shout out to my white rapper brother in law, Dirty, who hit me up with a bunch of stats. He hit me up. Dirty. Look him up. He's got Dir's got a lot of hit songs. One's called I'm an. One's called Is this my Life? One's called Watch your back, Adam. He's on Twitter. He's on Instagram.

[Pat McAfee]

Hates Dir hates Adam.

[Adam Ray]

No, no. We had our beefs. He's a great guy, great dad. What do you say? He goes, dude, Rogers has very few red zone interceptions. We held DK to. To 20 yards a defense without Witherspoon. I mean, that's the thing. I think we going to the game, I was nervous because I'm like, we are short changed, but we got Big cat. We got SD card card. We got Mike, Mikey McD. You know, I don't know. I feel good. Losing last week sucked and I think, you know, a lot of Hawks fans started to panic because we lost. Missed the playoffs by one game last year. So, I mean, you can probably attest this better, but I know it's early in the season, but still, every game still met.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

You can curse, right?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

All right.

[Pat McAfee]

It.

[Adam Ray]

It mad.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Yeah, right? It does, but it does matter.

[Adam Ray]

I don't know. But. But it was big on the road, too. Was a. It was a good test.

[Pat McAfee]

Does D swear in his music, bro?

[Adam Ray]

Dirty. I mean, he. He's.

[Pat McAfee]

Let me hear those.

[Adam Ray]

I Mean, he sound. He's a little bit like dm. I mean, you know, I have these old peace.

[Pat McAfee]

Dude.

[Adam Ray]

I used to say, I go. When. I go, when your sister comes home and is like, oh, my God, I met someone special. The next words out of your mouth usually aren't, I hope it's a semi locally famous rapper named Dirty. I hope he talks about opening for DMX once all the time. And. And he did. And he does. But he's the. And he rips it. Look him up on YouTube. Follow him. I think he's Ed Dirty on Instagram. But, dude, he. He.

[Pat McAfee]

Is that an E with a thing?

[Adam Ray]

No, it's D I, R, T A Y. Oh, okay. His slaps. Norm can tell you. Norm slaps Norm.

[Pat McAfee]

Dir's got some to him.

[Adam Ray]

He's got some slaps.

[Pat McAfee]

He like that. He opened for dmx. Ain't nobody just doing that.

[Adam Ray]

I. Yeah, when I first met him, I go. I go, you have the face of a dad whose kids probably call you by your first name, because we were kind of going tit for tat, you know? And he was like, what does that mean? I was like, you know how, like, if your friend, you know, like, your friend's dad doesn't command a lot of respect? And he's like, all right, boys, time for bed. And the kids are like, you, Dustin. And you're like, all right, call me down on my birthday maybe, you know, but he's. He's killing it, dude. What's up, aj?

[Pat McAfee]

AJ has a question.

[AJ Hawk]

My kids actually call me.

[Adam Ray]

I hope I can count your vote in 2095.

[Pat McAfee]

See you.

[AJ Hawk]

Hey, how are you?

[Pat McAfee]

Hey. We. I think we go.

[Adam Ray]

We take naps at the same time, don't we?

[Pat McAfee]

Go ahead. Mr. President.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah.

[AJ Hawk]

Mr. President. My parent. My kids actually call me Age, so they don't even come. They call me a nickname for my. My first name, maybe. I need.

[Adam Ray]

That's so disrespectful.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[AJ Hawk]

Oh, no, it's. It's actually respectful. I take it the other way, I guess.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Get me a juice. Yeah. All right, go ahead.

[AJ Hawk]

I want to ask about your prosthetic guy or your prosthetic lady, whoever it might be to be. Yeah, it's part of. It's part of your characters, but you are what the characters are, whether you were in costume or not. Who does that? I. We do a Halloween show here, and I'm always doing my own makeup and everything for whatever costume I have.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, certainly.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

I mean, you're. You're. Yeah, I gotta be Honest, dude, until I'm just seeing you live. When I would see you on the tube, I thought this was all a prosthetic. So it's good to see that this is actually real. Just not doing its job. So, yeah, dude, when I met this girl, Jen Aspinall, she was on MAD tv. Tv. The CW did a MAD TV reboot for one year. I'll hold for applause. Exactly.

[Pat McAfee]

Welcome back.

[Adam Ray]

Because, you know, when you think of cw, you think of comedy and sports, too.

[Pat McAfee]

They're doing that.

[Adam Ray]

They're doing sports. Yeah, but.

[Pat McAfee]

So we also known for One Tree Hill, right?

[Adam Ray]

Smallville. A lot of Vampire. Vampire Diaries, but they had Glory Hole.

[Pat McAfee]

Comedies on C Dub.

[Adam Ray]

They're coming back.

[Pat McAfee]

Dude.

[Adam Ray]

There's something. There's something for everybody, dude, but you.

[Pat McAfee]

Don'T know what it is, which is part of the thing.

[Adam Ray]

Hey, I used to go.

[Pat McAfee]

I used to.

[Adam Ray]

I used to check IDs at a Glory hole in Delaware, but no. Her name is Jen Aspinal, and she, you know, from snl, Mad tv, Westworld, she won an Emmy. I played Jay Leno on Pam and Tommy, the Hulu show that Seth Rogen did. They put me in, like, four hours of makeup to do Jay Leno. She won an Emmy for that. And so during COVID we were. My wife and I are sitting around watching, you know, just bored look, you know, drunk, high, looking for content. We're like, how many more times can we watch Tiger King or, you know, Two Girls, one cut? Like, we need a new show, right?

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, sure.

[Adam Ray]

We know how it is. You know, and so these Phil reruns would come on, and that's how the Dr. Phil thing started. And I hit her up and. And she's bored, and we're not doing anything. So I was like, I kind of want to do these, like, Lost Phil episodes with my buddy online. And so. And she's just a gangster and a goat. So she did that. She did, you know, the Tony Hinchcliffe and the Joe Biden, and she did Shane's Trump for that episode of Kill Tony. And it's cool, man.

[Pat McAfee]

She's.

[Adam Ray]

She's kind of the goat for character makeup. But you're right. It's like whatever you bring to it, even doing, you know, Tony on Kill Tony, when, you know, doing all that, you know, un believable.

[Adam Schefter]

We're really doing it.

[Adam Ray]

Red Dance, you know. Oh, my God. Pat McAfee. Pat McAfee. Oh, my God. You know, so it's like. But, you know, we tape my ears out for that. And like, a Little bit of a nose job. And, you know, put. Put some. Put some stuff. I don't know. Put some stuff.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. You were talking about doing Tony Hinchcliffe, I think then you just continue to roll, and then your brain was looking for something, and then you decide whether or not you were going to say it, which I respect. We all love Tony.

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

No, Tony's the best. Tony. And you know Tony, I'll give him credit. I pitched it to him. I go, tony, all these fans are telling me I should do you on Kill Tony. And he goes, absolutely. And then he goes, just don't. Right before the show, he goes, just don't make me look like a.

[Pat McAfee]

Of course.

[Adam Ray]

And I'm wearing the same vest as him, bro. Woody Harrelson was there that night at that Kill Tony. And Woody. And I walk up and Woody's just like. And I walk up, I go, woody Harrelson? I go, oh, my God. And he's like, holy, man. You go, yo. And Woody. I think Woody was enjoying himself. You know, I took a hit or whatever Woody had at the end of the night and forgot math for an hour. It was. It was wild, dude. But she's. She's just so specific and kind of a perfectionist. And I think when you're doing any sort of character stuff like that, for me, it's, you know, it's all commitment, and it's like looking. Having it look that good. Because even Pat was like, yo, can you just wrap up a bald cap for today? And I was like, man, it. Like, having it look so good adds a lot. And for me, when I look in the mirror and see that, I feel like I'm, you know, maybe a different person.

[Pat McAfee]

It.

[Adam Ray]

It helps me jump into that more. There was a gal. And our show here in India in June, we did the Murat Theater. And this gal comes up to the front. I'm taking pictures post show. And she goes, my mom thinks you're really Dr. Phil. And so I was like, I gotta go talk to this psycho. So I walk up and I go, how you doing, sweetheart? And she goes, I've been watching you for the last 40 years. I love you. I go, I've been watching you, too, on your ring cam. I go, I'm surprised you got that tampon out. Mazel tov. And she was like, what? I go, we'll be right back.

[Darius J. Butler]

And then.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, dude.

[Pat McAfee]

It was unbelievable.

[Adam Ray]

And she. And she was just. I took a picture. I signed. Signed a book for, but. So that stuff matters. It just makes. It's more fun, too, man. I mean, you know, but she's a gangster. Jed Aspinall is her name.

[Pat McAfee]

You saying shout out to Jen. Multiple award winning and obviously an incredible talent. You saying we'll be right back? Is that what is the we'll be right back?

[Adam Ray]

I mean, I got a lot of catchphrases, Pat. I've got don't make my mustache fall off. I've got. If you think you can, you can. There's two sides to a pancake. I didn't come 90% of the way to get 10% of the information. You know, I'm looking across at Connor right now, and he looks like a guy who wipes his butt after he pees. But. But the point is, everyone's got something going on. You know, we're talking about the dolphins. 02, right? That's a big deal. And look, if you're a Miami fan. I know, look, Miami's not just sunshine and butt plugs. It's also the home of Shaquille o'. Neal. Neal. And Gloria Estefan. Okay? Shout out. It's also where Ray Finkel and Lois Einhorn became one. You know, it's a place where Dan Marino and Flipper once had an orgy with Tiger Wood. It's a place where everything's happening, Pat. But if I'm a Dolphins fan and I'm 02, I go, you know, life sucks right now. You know, but guess who it sucks more for? There's a guy who's recently divorced in his dad's basement. He's 0 for 2 with women, getting back on the train, and he's playing Xbox Live, eating a chicken pock pie and feeling bad for himself. So at the end of the day, Pat, you got to stop dropping roll, only do drugs to fun people, and shave your head. Your back, your and your crack. We'll be right back.

[Pat McAfee]

Jeez. It's good for you.

[Connor Rogers]

What a run, dude.

[Adam Ray]

Can I get a Gatorade?

[Pat McAfee]

0Oh.

[Adam Ray]

Ask and you shall receive.

[Pat McAfee]

And catch. Good catch. That was good catch. I came out there like a miss.

[Adam Ray]

Two years in high school, man, and then I quit to play Danny Zuko in Greece. What's up?

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, no. Nice.

[Pat McAfee]

Did you really?

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, that's my story, dude.

[Pat McAfee]

How was it?

[Adam Ray]

I was. I thought I was going to be the first Jew offensive lineman and just didn't pan out, man. I was going to start varsity my sophomore year. The coach was like, dude, our offensive line was a senior. Got injured. I think you're starting. And then I was like, man, I I got a chance to play Danny Zuko in this play. The plays were a big deal growing up as a kid. We take field trips to go see him at Shore Crest. And so now I can maybe be a lead, because the director was like, look, I don't want to tell you you're going to get Danny, but. But it's between you and this Filipino kid named Danny park, and, you know, he might go with you. And so, you know. You know, typecasting. And so I quit football, and I had to tell my coach. I tried to do it jokingly. I was like, I'm not going to be able to memorize the playbook this year, because I got to memorize the lyrics to Grease Lightning. And he was just like, get the fuck out of my office. And then he came to the Sunday matinee with his kids, and I mean, you know, got a leather jacket and makeup, and he was like, all right. It was pretty good.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, you crushed it. Seems like it all worked out pretty well.

[Adam Ray]

It worked out okay. But, I mean, I. There was a moment where I was like, I think I'm gonna. I mean, hoops was my sport, obviously, repping the. The soups hat, which we'll be back in a couple years, but. But, you know, when the Sonics left, it was a. You know, it was a gut punch, but it. It gave the fans more. More love and passion towards the Mariners, who are killing it right now. Shout out to Big Dumper, who just tied Mickey Mantle for the most home runs for a switch hitter. Big Dumper is sweet guy. Great, great guy to drink with. Great guy to hang a. Great. I mean, just the most chill. It's always wild to me. I mean, you're the same athletes that ripped it up, that are just so chill, Dude, Cal. I'm, like, thinking he's this. And I was telling the. The boys at the suite last night, the Mariners let me go down and roast them during spring training and then suit up. And the. The jokes they posted were, you know, jokes like, Julio, look at his. You know, look at his teeth. He's so, uh. They're so. So white. Like, he looks like. I said the only. I. I. What I say, I'm from Seattle. I know this place like the back of my hand. The only place I get lost is in Julio's eyes. That's the only joke they posted. But the other jokes I did where I go, look at Julio's teeth, I go, they're so white. I go, I don't know what's more white. Julio or his teammates. Look at this clubhouse. Where were you guys on January 6th? And then.

[Pat McAfee]

And then I didn't post that.

[Adam Ray]

And then I go. I go, Cal's got 50,000 followers on Instagram, 60,000 followers on only fans. And then. But there was a moment, moment where I was taking BP off Dan Wilson, our manager, and my buddy Albert's down there shooting content. And there's a moment where I hit one decently. Just made some good batting cage contact. You know, when you get into the cage sometimes, and more often than not, we're like, all right, 60s, 60 miles per hour, maybe. You know, maybe softball. I had a long night last night, you know, and you get in there, maybe it's 70, 80. And. And I just hit one right off the sweet spot into, like, deep outfield. And I'm running the base cases, and I get back, and I'd use Cal's bat. I'd gone up to Cal right before and was like, can I use your bat? And he's like, yeah, go for it. And so I get that shot, and I go up to him after. I go, dude, I put a little extra juju in this for you. If you have a wild season this year, it's because of this moment right here. And Cal takes the bat and goes like this. And then he was like. He's like, dude, this is it. Let this be the moment that if I have a crazy year, that it's because of that you using my back. And I turn over to see Albert with the camera, and he's over in.

[Pat McAfee]

The corner of the.

[Adam Ray]

His phone, and I go, dude, the.

[Pat McAfee]

Are you here, man?

[AJ Hawk]

Here for.

[Pat McAfee]

What are you here for? This is what we were freaking out.

[Adam Ray]

This is what we were here for is to.

[Connor Rogers]

That's what we were freaking out about. We were like, you got to tell this right now.

[Pat McAfee]

I would be so mad. Who's cameraman Albert?

[Adam Ray]

Albert. I mean, he's shooting the Dr. Phil doc from our whole tour, and he does a great job.

[Pat McAfee]

No way. Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

He said it didn't matter. He was like, it doesn't matter. I mean, it was just like, one. Just one little piece of content.

[Pat McAfee]

Historic here. Mickey Manel. Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Might hit 60, might hit 70. There's two weeks left, so the Seahawks.

[Pat McAfee]

Are your team, though.

[Adam Ray]

I'm die hard, dude. I mean, I used to take the bus down to the Kingdome to watch, you know, Rick Meyer, you know, Chris War. I mean. Yeah, dude, Holgram came in that changed the game. Hasselback, Sean Alexander. I mean, it's. It's so. And then I went to SC01 to 05. So during the Trojan War years, when it was Pete, Reggie Bush, Mike Williams, you know, Dwayne Garrett, you know, Leonard, obviously. And it was Lindell. Smoked weed with Lindell. It was. He doesn't knock it out after he retired.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Adam Ray]

But he. It was. It was. I mean, it was Kobe Shack, Lakers in la, but SD Football was king, dude. Everyone had a jersey and of every player, and. And it was banana. So when Pete went to Seattle, I was fired up, which is why it was sad when he. When he left for a bit, because it was like, oh, I've been with this guy for 17 years, more or less, but it's. It's awesome, dude.

[Pat McAfee]

You guys kicked him out.

[Adam Ray]

Kicked him. I mean, yeah, that kicked them out. That was me. It was. I sent one Facebook message to Jody Allen and she responded and she said, yeah, I'm on it. Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. They did kind of kick him out, though. Yeah, it was.

[Adam Ray]

I mean, it would have been cool to let him, I guess, finish one more. Those things are so complicated. I think it's really tough, you know, and it seemed like I watched Pete, I think, on Mike Robin and in Beast Mode's podcast, and he said something about that, you know, philosophies were just different towards the end, and he wanted it to go one way and knew it was kind of the beginning of the end anyway. And so they just kind of, you know, cut it short sooner than later. But Mikey McDonald is crushing it. This is his first full year really, like, where he feels like it's his team. And I was at camp, they let me call the Chiefs Hawks, like, preseason game. And. And I don't think it'll happen again. I pitched a lot of catchphrases, like, Jake Bobo had just two touchdowns. And on the second one, I go, somebody check my watch. It's touchdown time. And Steve Rabel was like, can you just stop? Ding.

[Pat McAfee]

And then.

[Adam Ray]

And then Tori Horton, I think, got a touchdown. And I was like. I go. I go, someone open back up the kitchen. We're serving touchdown salad.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay.

[Adam Ray]

I might have been on Inedible, but it was. It was a good time.

[Pat McAfee]

And how was everybody's response? So pretty good.

[Adam Ray]

Pretty good.

[Pat McAfee]

Overwhelmingly positive.

[Adam Ray]

Overwhelmingly positive. Yeah, they sent me a contract right after that, but it. We look good. And Mike said. He's like, dude, the squad is. So he said, no egos. That's what really stood out to me. He goes, everyone is just on the same page. And, you know, you Got some, we got, you know, some high paid guys but like Leonard Williams and, and Lawrence are such good, I guess mentors and leaders and, and the young guys are, are swagger filled but not cocky.

[Pat McAfee]

Right.

[Adam Ray]

There's such a balance between cocky and confident. And I think Sam is a beast and I think, think, you know, Mark Sanchez and I used to have this short lived podcast. We did it with all the smoke guys did it. It was called 4th and Forever and we would have on comics and athletes and you know, we interviewed Miles Teller before top gun and DeSean Watson before the massages and, and we had Jason Kelsey and.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Adam Ray]

And it was, and it was awesome. And, and so I got to know Sam then right before he got drafted and he, he's just so dialed in, man. And he's just matured, I guess is the word I'd use. But he, he's also just like ready to, you know, he's finally the guy. Right. He's got like three years to, to, to be the forefront of a team.

[Pat McAfee]

So going to Pittsburgh break some hearts. Oh yeah. I mean that's a huge win.

[Darius J. Butler]

Seattle's always kind of one of those teams that don't get talked about enough, especially in the national media. Yeah. Obviously you've had some great moments with them. Who would be. We talk about Mount Rushmore is a lot back in the think. Who would be your Seattle Seahawks? Mount Rush more man.

[Adam Ray]

You know, I gotta throw Joey Galloway in there. Just right up top. Of course, just because when I started, you know, I think that was probably around 10, between 10 and 14. When you like kind of find your sports fandom, I think in any city. Right. I remember, I mean the first sports moment I had, and I'll get right back to that, was my mom took me to a Mariners game. Shout out to Pudding. Single mom, did it for a while, then married George. Shout out to George.

[Pat McAfee]

Pudding angel.

[Adam Ray]

Puddin's the go. You want to talk about Tom Brady, seven Super bowl rings. My mom had five jobs while she had my sister and I. She was. And then married George and then George was like, do you want to, you know, stop working so much? What do you want to do? She's like, I always want to be, do, be an actor. I was living vicariously through Adam. So then she did like seven, you know, community theater productions of the Vagina Monologues, which was weird to watch her be in that. But she crushed it. And then she went, she stopped and then they called her and she came back out of retirement and did it Again, she was like the Brett Favre of Vagina Monologues. Right. She just couldn't stop talking about her vagina and shout out mom and but so.

[Pat McAfee]

I don't think I know what you're referring to there.

[Adam Ray]

I I It's a play. The Vagina Monologues. It's a play.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

When's the last, what's the last play you've been to?

[Pat McAfee]

Probably Hamilton.

[Adam Ray]

Let's go.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, I've been there a couple times. Yeah.

[AJ Hawk]

Book of Mormon.

[Pat McAfee]

Book of Mormon.

[Adam Ray]

Book of Mormon.

[Pat McAfee]

Seen that a couple times.

[Adam Ray]

Classic.

[Pat McAfee]

What else? There's a couple I went to in New York.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, the JSON one.

[Pat McAfee]

The one where you Robert Williams.

[Ty Schmidt]

No.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Dead poet.

[Pat McAfee]

Dead poet. Society Y live off Broadway. J Sud played. Wow. Yeah. I'm cultured, dude. Let's go. I'm cultured. There's like 200 people in there, maybe.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

It was like in a roundabout.

[Adam Ray]

They're intimate.

[Pat McAfee]

He was up in the crowd at one point.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah. Imagine being in a 200 seat theater and your mom's like, it won't stop. Just oozing wet. And you're like, I, you made my lunches. You got to stop talking. But putting was so good. Were so good.

[Pat McAfee]

She was so good in there.

[Connor Rogers]

Funny.

[Adam Ray]

She was great.

[Pat McAfee]

She knew the timing. She had Adam's time, actually, Adam's got pudding time, bro.

[Adam Ray]

1000. You once you see your parents as people and not parents, you see that, what you get from them. And my mom, super quick, super funny. I mean, detail oriented. Detail oriented. I mean, she's 76, but everyone feels like she's like 50. She came to a Hawks game and met one of Schneider, John Schneider buddies who was hitting on her. And, and he thought she was like 50. And she's just a little spunky pet. She got a lot of pizzazz for a little spunky Jew from Oklahoma. And, but anyway, so Mount Rushmore.

[Pat McAfee]

Is that normal? Just follow up.

[Adam Ray]

What's that?

[Pat McAfee]

I don't know.

[Adam Ray]

Spunky Jew from Oklahoma.

[Pat McAfee]

Yep. Oklahoma's got a lot of Jew.

[Adam Ray]

A lot of Jews. Seattle's got a lot of Jews. Germany, not so much. Let's see. Where else?

[Connor Rogers]

Why Sports.

[Adam Ray]

But we're, but no, we're live. But so it's. Oh. So my mom took me to a Mariners game and I go, mom, I want to stay after and get some autographs, as you do. You're a kid, you're like, I want to meet the players. Jay Buhner walks out, right? Waves to the fans. Wade Boggs comes out we're playing the Red Sox. We're talking move on. We're talking Alan Trammell. We're talking Mo Vaughan family, you know, we're talking Wade Boggs. And I see Mr. Bogus Boggs come out, and I go, Mr. Boggs. Mr. Boggs, right. Somebody, I guess, had told me call them Mr. And then their name Mr. Boggs. I go, you saw me baseball, you know, it's young fat Adam. You know, just my tits are shaking out of my shirt, right? And. And. And he goes, follow me, kid. He grabs my ball, goes, follow me. And so I follow him. I'd say about 200ft onto the team bus. I'm now walking onto the team bus where there's Roger Clemens, Mo Vaughn, guys are cracking beers, just walking down this Greyhound bus.

[Pat McAfee]

And I'm walking all the way down.

[Adam Ray]

And no one's really looking up at me. I remember Roger Clemens did kind of look up and kind of look at me being like Joe Biden. And then. And then, you know, I don't believe in the vaccine or whatever he said. And then. And then I walk right past and. And I sit down and Wade Bogs has a ball, and he goes, what's your name, kid? And I go, adam. And he goes, I wrote Allen. And then he hands me the ball back. He had already written it anyway, but. So Mount Rushmore, Joey Galloway. I say, beast mode for Wade Boggs, maybe even. Yeah, I mean, shout out to Wade just for being. You know, it's so. When you see players, you know, stiff arm a child for the. For the graph, it drives me nuts.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, it's not the kid normally getting a stiff arm. It's all the autograph hounds around them.

[Adam Ray]

Well, that. That is like. Yeah, I don't mind if you're scumbag behavior. I guess those guys end up intercepting some of the.

[Darius J. Butler]

That's probably.

[Adam Ray]

What about the Phillies? Did you guys come with that a lot? Was that that?

[Pat McAfee]

Which one?

[Connor Rogers]

We talked. I don't know if we talked about up here. The Philly lady who. Who stole the ball, went back, got.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, yeah. Jeez.

[Adam Ray]

Wild.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

I mean, now, I do want to play devil's advocate. What do we think about the dad leaving his base and running over to a section that's not your section?

[Ty Schmidt]

I think it's fair game.

[Adam Ray]

I think it's fair game, too. I'm just bringing. I'm just trying to, you know, play both sides, but. Because I think finders keepers at the end of the day. Day also. It's every man or Woman for himself. A ball's coming towards you. I mean, dude, I've been to games where I saw a ball, dude, Edgar Martinez in a fly ball. It went off the guy's head and somebody else got it. And I was like, the way it works, dude, that was not your day to be outside.

[Pat McAfee]

You know, hand up.

[Adam Ray]

You got to get a hand up.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, bring a glove.

[Adam Ray]

They'll tell you to bring a glove.

[Connor Rogers]

The worst one was at tennis during the US Open. One of the tennis players was signing autographs and, you know, handing stuff out, out. And, like, he's signing autographs, he sees the kid, he takes his hat off to hand to the kid as he's signing. Old guy comes in, grabs hat, he's out of there.

[Pat McAfee]

Some CEO.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

Bingo.

[Pat McAfee]

People found that guy.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, they found him and he got fired. Yeah, dude. CEOs having a rough year, huh? Dear Coldplay, thank you so much for taking the heat off the Epstein. I mean, he was so pumped, dude, it was Epstein non stop.

[Pat McAfee]

Dude.

[Adam Ray]

You know what I love about the Coldplay CEO, bro? That the guy that went to the concert and.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, yeah, we know, we know.

[Adam Ray]

Like, he apologized, but then he blamed Coldplay in his apology. Well, he was like. He was like, dude, I'll tell you.

[Pat McAfee]

What, I think they got so they might have something there.

[Adam Ray]

But, bro, that guy was like, first of all, I up.

[Darius J. Butler]

All right?

[Adam Ray]

I'm a bad dad. I'm a bad husband, but I'm also a huge Coldplay fan, and what you guys did was not cool. That was a cold play, man. I mean, dude, blaming Coldplay. I was telling my buddy, go blaming Coldplay for your affair. Like, outing you is like your pants in traffic. And then calling the gap and be like, you said your pants were. Hold my poo poo. What's going on? You're like, it's. It's on you, man. You gotta take some accountability. So I'm going, Marshawn. I'm going.

[Pat McAfee]

Maybe Coldplay.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, maybe Coldplay.

[Pat McAfee]

Maybe Wade.

[Adam Ray]

Wait, Boggs.

[Pat McAfee]

Joey Galloway.

[Adam Ray]

Marshawn. I mean, dude, Hasselback was Russell Wilson.

[Pat McAfee]

Good call, aj.

[Adam Ray]

You know, know, can I be honest? I love Russ. I think a lot of good memories the same way.

[Darius J. Butler]

Like, back over Russ.

[Adam Ray]

No, no, I'm just saying, this is a sidebar.

[Darius J. Butler]

Oh, okay.

[Adam Ray]

Love to us. And for the memories, I think the way things shook out at the end. Bad news, Bears. Dude, I will say this. I got to roast the Steelers and shout out to Cam Hayward. Shout out to the Steelers for setting that up. And I get out there and I thought, it's going to be just the rookies for, like, their talent show. They were like, hey, will you roast and host the rookie talent show that they do? You know, ends up being the. The whole team. Tomlin's in there. Russ and Fields are right up front. I'm like, oh. And I had a lot of jokes, and the opening joke was about Russ, but I wasn't going to do it because I didn't think he was going to be there. So now he's up front and I go, guys, so pumped to be here, Russ. I see it right up front, man. I'm a Seattle boy, so thanks for the memories. And, man, I'm so glad you're getting a fresh start in Pittsburgh, man. Cuz you got. They did you dirty in Denver, man. They did. I haven't seen someone get that hard on tape unless it was at Diddy's house, man. And this was right after the Diddy thing. And, dude, they all laughed and Russ just went like this, shook his hand and looked up, and I go, russ is laughing. We're fine.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Thank God.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, thank God.

[Pat McAfee]

He knew you, by the way, I assume. Yeah. Yeah. From Seattle. Oh, great. We're having this guy.

[Adam Ray]

I don't think he was pumped. Yeah, he hasn't. He hasn't responded to my.

[Pat McAfee]

He had a good game yesterday.

[Adam Ray]

He ripped it up here. Almost 500 yards. Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Career high.

[Adam Ray]

I was telling Connor, I go, he might still have the best deep ball in football. I mean, it's like he put that on the money.

[Connor Rogers]

It was on last night.

[Pat McAfee]

And what. How did it end, though?

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. When he needed to complete one, he threw that nice deep ball right. Just right to the middle of the field.

[Adam Ray]

And that's what you remember, right?

[Ty Schmidt]

Corn?

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, dude.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. It sucks that Russ had such a good game.

[Adam Ray]

You think? Yeah.

[Darius J. Butler]

Boom.

[Pat McAfee]

Great. Such a great game. He did.

[Ty Schmidt]

And then, I mean, just the worst interception of all time.

[Adam Ray]

I mean.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

I don't know what the beginning of the end for him was. Maybe the Subway commercials.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yes.

[Pat McAfee]

I don't know.

[Ty Schmidt]

The Danger Witch.

[Adam Ray]

But Subway is so the danger Witch. Those are so tough. Even when Charles Bug was like, you got the.

[Connor Rogers]

The 10.

[Darius J. Butler]

10 inch cookie like it.

[Adam Ray]

They. Subway just got to stop, dude. You know, I know you're trying to, like, make up for Jared Fogle. That was. That was a long time ago.

[Pat McAfee]

That was here in Indiana.

[AJ Hawk]

Oh, it was getting out soon, too.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. There was. There was. Helicopters.

[AJ Hawk]

Get released soon. I don't know, Pat, you the one that Said you were in a VIP session connection with it. But he does get released.

[Pat McAfee]

That was when he was just. Okay. Fat. So normal looking, bro.

[Adam Ray]

This is what I love about the Fogo, is there's guys out there that definitely, like, went on the Subway diet and like, probably pre Fogal, you know. And so, like, I'm sure when that happened, they were like guys at barbecues being like, you know, David, why don't you tell Frank you lost weight? It's not important. Just hard discipline and hard work. He's like, no, he's eating Subway all day. And they're like, oh, you're a Fogle guy.

[Pat McAfee]

He's like.

[Adam Ray]

You don't be labeled a focal guy. So I'm going, Joey Galloway. I'm going, Marshawn, you got to throw Hasselback up there because he took us to a ball and. And, you know, the. The refs took control of that one. But.

[Connor Rogers]

So you hate Russ, okay?

[Darius J. Butler]

He took you to a bowl.

[Adam Ray]

Russ won you a bowl, brother. I'm talking about Hasselback. Russ isn't on the.

[Pat McAfee]

The.

[Adam Ray]

The Rushmore for me.

[Connor Rogers]

See that.

[Pat McAfee]

That's what we're talking.

[Connor Rogers]

And that's because of the intercept exception.

[Pat McAfee]

Russ.

[Connor Rogers]

I'm. I swear that is why if the Seahawks go back to back, that's how it ended.

[Adam Ray]

I think I would have definitely. I've heard a lot of things. I've heard, man. I. I've heard a lot of things from players, from coaches, from my stepdad, George. I've heard a lot of things.

[Pat McAfee]

Pudding.

[Connor Rogers]

Dirty.

[Adam Ray]

Dirty.

[Connor Rogers]

Knows my wife.

[Adam Ray]

My wife Amanda. Shout to my wife, Amanda. Cardinals fan. She think the. Think. Thinks the Cardinals are going to the bowl this year. Nobody's perfect. She's not Jewish, but she is circumcised. But she is a great. She's a great gal. I love my wife, Amanda. I love you, but I think that interception should not have happened. I think Russ had every. I think he could have just called an audible, baby. You hear that call?

[Pat McAfee]

So you want Russ to call out of that?

[Adam Ray]

I think you call out of that a thousand times every time, but I think. Think you want to be the hero, dude. And I think, you know, it's so funny. I was telling Conor, I go because, you know, anytime I meet a Pats fan, that day is one of the, you know, I went to the. The bowl in MetLife where the Hawks, you know, took care of Denver, where nobody picked us, you know, and after that snap went over Peyton's head, and he was like, Papa Jones, you know, and Then. And Payton's a great guy, by the way. That was Peyton.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

I don't do a Peyton Manning, but I do do a job. Jason Statham. Here's Jason Statham finding out that he got bumped from the Pat McAfee Show. Ready?

[Pat McAfee]

Hey.

[Adam Ray]

And so I'm sitting there. And so I'm sitting there watching this snap go over Peyton's head, and everyone goes nuts. I'm like, there's a lot of Hawks fans here, right? And so cut to the next year. I'm like, I'm gonna fly up to Seattle and party in the streets. I flew my pops up with all my best buds from college, all their buddies. We're in about 50 people in, like, one of these community rooms. Rooms in their condo. And Jermaine Curse makes that wild circus catch. You're thinking like, David Tyree, this is going to happen again to the Pats, like, down to the wire. And then Marshawn runs in. I remember he gets stopped, and I just look over my dad and I go. He goes, what? I go, I feel like we needed to get it on that one. And he goes, what the does that mean? And then, literally, we look up, and boom. And then. Nobody said anything. I had friends there I hadn't seen in five years. Nobody said anything, dude. Anybody. Everybody just left. It was like. It was like the end of Cool Runnings. Like, remember when, like, you know, they lost and then they carried their thing down, and then once they carried this sled down, John Candy was like, let's.

[Pat McAfee]

Go get some Chipotle, you know?

[Adam Ray]

And I don't think. No, I haven't seen that movie. But it. But it's.

[Pat McAfee]

You've definitely seen the movie.

[Adam Ray]

I've seen Cool Runnings. I was first in line when it came out. You know what I also saw? I saw Mrs. Doubtfire when it came out, which was advertised as a, like, Robin Williams comedy. Like, hello. It's a run by Fruits. And you're like, dude, Williams at his best. Opening scene. Sally Field's like, get the out of my house.

[Pat McAfee]

You had a llama on my dining.

[Adam Ray]

Room table, you son of a bed.

[Pat McAfee]

Had to battle through that, bro. My battle through this.

[Adam Ray]

My folks had gotten divorced maybe a month prior. I'm sitting there. That's like taking somebody to see Blackhawk down when they just got back from Iraq. I mean, I'm like, dude, I just out there the same fight a week ago. So I'm triggered. I'm crying. My buddy's like, you crying? I'm like, it's so funny. And. But shout out to. Shout out to that movie. Robin Williams is like, you know, that's. That. You want to talk about goats to me. But. So we're going Beast mode. We're going.

[Pat McAfee]

Matt Hasselback, definitely. Dog.

[Darius J. Butler]

Love it.

[Adam Ray]

Joey Galloway, man, you know you're going to love this one. Cam Chancellor, dude.

[Pat McAfee]

Hell, yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Cam Chancellor was a game change. Sherman, Earl, Tony, Promise, dude. I mean, you can go down the list Browner.

[Pat McAfee]

You could put the Legion of Boom in there as one of the.

[Adam Ray]

You could, but I think you don't.

[Pat McAfee]

Even want to do that. I was giving you an out, but you're like, not.

[Adam Ray]

No, no. Well, I mean, but that's obvious, dude. They obviously were. That was that. They'll never be a group like that ever. The way that it got put together with Wagner and KJ and them all being so young and so on the same page, and it was. It was insane to watch. It was like. Like, you know, the same way people talk about in Seattle, if you got to go see Griffey play live or getting to see Jordan. Like, every city, I think, has a version of that guy. That's what it was like going to Hawks games.

[Pat McAfee]

And you got to see Danny Dimes yesterday in the Lighthouse.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, dude, you guys going. I mean, when you were saying, man, we just haven't been. Hasn't been excitement like this in a hot minute and feeling that in the stadium and. And when. Who. What's your field goal kick?

[Pat McAfee]

His name?

[Adam Ray]

Spencer Schrader. Did I go to middle school with that? Spencer Schrader?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, it might have been.

[Adam Ray]

Let's go.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, I think he's much younger than you, but let's go, Chance.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, he. When he shanked the first one, I mean, it was. The wind got taken out. It was like everyone found out they were on the Epstein list at the same time. It was like. You know what I'm saying? Everyone collectively was like, no, I thought. I wasn't there. You know? Yeah, here we go. Just came up.

[Pat McAfee]

Up short and right.

[Adam Ray]

And right.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, it was bad ball early, but.

[Adam Ray]

Then the one down the middle, I mean.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, you can't choose. They're cheating.

[Adam Ray]

Exactly. Can I be honest? When you said to me at one point, you go, if we lose this game, you're never welcome back. Not only in the suite, you said in the city. And then. And we believed it. And even Sally was like, I second that. And I was like, I thought we were friends. And then I. I sang my heart out for your birthday. And then. And then and then blue is doing the pelvic thrust from New Kids on the Block. I mean, I mean, by the way, you guys just have all the right things clicking in that stadium right now, right now.

[Pat McAfee]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Adam Ray]

Now this is 2 and 0 at home, right? So like, I don't know how you are on the road. You know, time will tell, but, oh.

[Ty Schmidt]

We'Re gonna be able to find out next week.

[Connor Rogers]

Times is a road.

[Adam Ray]

I'll tell you this though. I mean, confidence in any avenue, right, is like huge. Like you get a good, like, you know, obviously, like once, you know, like coming off these five sold out shows at Helium, which was shout out to everybody that came to the show shows. Yo, your boy Derek came last night. Derek on Mike.

We drank Hennessy till 3am Shout out to beast mode.

[Pat McAfee]

That guy not coming to the show. Just in general. He's on.

[Connor Rogers]

No, he's coming to the show.

[Adam Ray]

I think he won. He almost came up on stage during my show in Ireland, but he was just like, nah, man, I'm here to support, man. Do your thing. But I was like, you want to come on stage? We can around, but maybe in Seattle. But yeah, huge tour up through the fall. And then I'm announcing a big theater tour. My first theater tour for January through April. You know, every year you want to stack the chips, get better and, and once you start selling out shows in the clubs, then you know, people in your world go, I think it's, I think it's time for theaters, baby.

[Pat McAfee]

Right? So then, yeah, congratulations.

[Connor Rogers]

[Pat McAfee]

Wednesday.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, it's Tuesday, December 6th. Spirit is the Denny's of the sky. But they are.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, moon's over Miami.

[Adam Ray]

You're right.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Dude, you remember the great. Where. You know what? There's always like a VH1. Where are they now? Like, you know, the kids from the Goonies or like, you know, the kids from BB Mac or whatever, Nobody cares.

[Pat McAfee]

But.

[Adam Ray]

But they. But the Denny's gals, remember, the Denny's gals were like, it's 2.99.

[Pat McAfee]

Hey, adi am.

[Adam Ray]

I remember them.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Couldn't believe you could get breakfast for three bucks. And they were only in their 60s.

[Connor Rogers]

Those are the days.

[Pat McAfee]

They were.

[Adam Ray]

They were like your mom's age.

[Pat McAfee]

Were there like three bucks for bacon and eggs. Pull the block. Dennis was awesome. And those ladies were right. They were crazy.

[Adam Ray]

They lived at Denny's. They were like, you know what's the best part about Denny's in la On Halloween? You'll see, like, Batman and Jack sparrow at like 2am Just slamming down some pancakes.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, you're never going to see that in Spirit, so you need to maybe have a little bit more respect.

[Adam Ray]

Whatever you say. You're right. Spirit hate. They just. They just, like, fixed their seatbelt. I think they got seat belts now, so.

[Darius J. Butler]

Gotta pay for them.

[Adam Ray]

Shout out to Spirit.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. All right. We sent out a tweet Earlier. You're gonna be great for this. About, you know, we want to hear from the NFL fans from around the league. We want to hear your thoughts. We want you to showcase why this is called overreaction Monday. All you have to do is put out all your emotions into one tweet and make sure you use the hashtag, I don't want to overreact. But you see that? You'll catch the beats there at the end. The butt is all of us together. Ty went through all of the tweets that were sent in, picked out his favorites. It became a number one trend on X, which we're very thankful for, how active it has become. But these become must read. Ty, how are they this week?

[Ty Schmidt]

I think much better this week. Still a little optimism for teams last week. So people were overreacting, but not really selling out.

[Pat McAfee]

They're.

[Ty Schmidt]

There are some pissed off people this morning.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, let's dive into them. I don't think this one's pissed off. Hashtag, I don't want to overreact. But, says Connor, everyone and anyone can see it. Some will deny it, some will laugh at it, but it's too obvious to avoid. The Pats are going to win a Super bowl with Rabel in May. Not this year, maybe, but at some point, those two will hoist a Lombardi. Pats are back. Jack. Con man, not an overreaction. No, not at all.

[Connor Rogers]

All you're really looking for is a great head coach and a great, great quarterback. And the Patriots got both of them. I mean, there's other spots I need to get better at.

[Pat McAfee]

Whatever.

[Connor Rogers]

I don't care. This year we're not going to win the super bowl because next year we might. And then the year after, and then all of a sudden, 15 years later, the Pats have been the 1, 2, or 3 seed with Mike Vo at the helm. Feel very good about it.

[Pat McAfee]

How do we feel about the Patriots maybe being back at him?

[Adam Ray]

You know, it's good for football when the Pats are doing well.

[Pat McAfee]

That is so interesting you would say something like that.

[Adam Ray]

I feel. I feel bad. I feel bad. I'm. I'm over the super bowl loss. Times are changing, but, you know, you're dealing with a lot with Belichick, you know, like, it's. He's getting a lot of flack, you know, his girls on the sidelines ordering postmates and getting in his ear and. And just. It's a lot. So I feel like I.

[Pat McAfee]

We don't know if she's ordering postmates.

[Adam Ray]

She's doing something down there. She's. It's. She's in his ear. What is she doing? What is she doing down there?

[Ty Schmidt]

They're saying she was asking him for money for the concession stand.

[Pat McAfee]

That's right. She runs all the social and digital postmates orchids that was online.

[Adam Ray]

No, she got. No, I think she was asking. She's like, is it T H E I R or T H E R e?

[Pat McAfee]

She was like, well, you never know, especially on actual. She is a social media person, but she. Air Jordan. Yeah. H E I R Jordan.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

What Beast. I think she's. She has stayed in the pocket.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Hasn't she? You don't think so?

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, yeah, no, I agree.

[Connor Rogers]

I was bummed. They actually tried to. She tried to trademark all of his taglines from the Patriots, but then did parentheses Bill's version, like Taylor Swift, which is kind of cool. And so she tried to do that. And so now I don't like North Carolina anymore.

[Pat McAfee]

Wow. What? I thought we like North Carolina. No, no, no.

[Connor Rogers]

Go Duke. Stand up, Blue Devils.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, let's go to. The next overreaction is from Tone Diggs, live in Hammer Die. Hashtag. I don't want to overreact, but cheering for a team is the dumbest thing a human can do. Lowe had it right. Let's go. NFL Processing Men's New Era Graphite, NFL Training Camp 970 adjustable hat with just NFL on it. Okay, let's go to Hammer Tone. Love it. You're an NFL fan now. Just like Gumpy.

[Tone Diggs]

Yeah, that's Rob Lowe, star of 911 Lone Star.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, yeah, I remember the hat with him.

[Tone Diggs]

Yeah, I was just thinking. I was like, I was.

[Pat McAfee]

So I don't.

[Tone Diggs]

I don't have a Division 1 football team to root for, so I just have fun on Saturdays and I enjoy football. And then Sundays, my life is miserable. So I was like, you know what? I don't want my life to be miserable Sundays anymore. I'm just going to be an NFL fan. So that's kind of.

[Pat McAfee]

I ordered the hat today.

[Tone Diggs]

I feel really good about it.

[Pat McAfee]

NFL, NFL, NFL, NFL. Gumpy had a little passion behind that chant there, there.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, it's dark days, you know, Tua just takes the stand and it's just. It's terrible. It's.

[Pat McAfee]

It's.

[Adam Ray]

Can't get any worse.

[Pat McAfee]

Takes a stand. Was he on trial? No.

[Adam Ray]

When he takes the stand and does the post game interviews, I can't take it anymore.

[Darius J. Butler]

Talking of Tua.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, we like when TU is Talking cuz we learn a little bit about real tour.

[Connor Rogers]

Show me the money. I felt like I knew the guy.

[Pat McAfee]

Show me the money. After getting a deal. Do you see that video?

[Adam Ray]

No.

[Pat McAfee]

It's a good video.

[Connor Rogers]

Some would argue that was also the downfall of Russ. Mr.

[Adam Ray]

It was, it was not a good look. And then he was, I don't know, a lot of the selfie. Here's the thing with the problem with social media. It's, it's great because now we know exactly, you know, where Kardashians get their smoothies from. You know, it's, it's great to know, like, oh, dude, like, you know, you know, you know the kid from Home Improvement got a Dior. Like we get to see AJ's related to him.

[Tone Diggs]

It's AJ's cousin.

[Connor Rogers]

Yes.

[Adam Ray]

You're related to Zachary Ty Bryant.

[AJ Hawk]

I'm not. My wife is Quasi.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

What about Jonathan Taylor Thomas?

[AJ Hawk]

No, not jtt, just Z to the B. As he would call me. Zachary Ty Bryant. He did come to our wedding back in the day.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, let's go. That's. I used to play the clarinet, but. So we, but we.

[Connor Rogers]

Me too.

[Adam Ray]

That's awesome though. Wait, he came to your wedding? Was it D?

[Pat McAfee]

Dope.

[Adam Ray]

Was everyone freaking out?

[Pat McAfee]

He's having a good time driving.

[AJ Hawk]

Oh, it's amazing. I mean, I was freaking out. We went out with him out in LA like 15, 18 years ago. Yeah, he, he ran that place.

[Adam Ray]

He rips it up. I, I, JTT went to SC while I was there. Or no, he just was at a frat party across the street. I was in the Jew frat a pie, and it was Sigma Kai across the street and I met a Euro next to him. I'd never seen a famous person. I ran to Larry King while I was high at the Grove seeing a movie. I think it was like Toy Story 2 or something. And he's there with a, with a kid. Kid. And I walk up to him, we're at the automated snack machine and I go, holy. I go, Larry King. I go, big fan, man, by the way. In my head I was like, I gotta say something. No, you don't. Just let him be. Larry's better off not having a stony encounter from some.

[Pat McAfee]

So I was like.

[Adam Ray]

I go, okay. And he was like, how are you? And I was like, good, man. I go, how you doing? And then he was like, I'm fine. Yeah, I'm with my nephew. Do you mind? And I go, not at all. I just got interviewed by Larry King and he was like. And I Was like, I'm gonna get some licorice. Peace. And then went back to the theater. But jtt, great interaction there.

[Pat McAfee]

What you say immediately afterwards, you said, I nailed that.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I felt like.

[Pat McAfee]

And Larry King saying what?

[Adam Ray]

I was in the pocket. Larry King, probably. I mean, he didn't care enough to talk about on the show. But he rip.

[Pat McAfee]

But he.

[Ty Schmidt]

But he.

[Adam Ray]

JTT was right next to me, and I was like, same thing. And I was just like. I wanted a moment. So I look over, and I was like, by the way, fight. Not a fan of talking to the urinal. Where do we all stand on that?

[Connor Rogers]

I'm with you.

[Pat McAfee]

What do you mean? Where do. We're all in the same small, small talk.

[Adam Ray]

Like, got like, I was once in the airport, and the guy looks over because, is it me? Is it. Is my dick just smaller? Is this urinal? Make it. Is it urinal too big? And I was like, your penis is fine. Like, I didn't know what to say. Like, you know, he just almost sucked me into that conversation. So I look over at jtt.

[Pat McAfee]

He did suck it.

[Adam Ray]

And I look and I look over at jtt and I go, he baited Bubba.

[Pat McAfee]

He made a Bubba in the bathroom.

[Adam Ray]

I go, what's up, jtt? And he was like, hey. Just so thrown off that. And he was like, what's up, man? And I was like, yeah, this party's crazy, right? And he was like, yeah, yeah. And I go, yeah, bro. All he did was just go like, his head. But it's like, dude.

[Pat McAfee]

Like, you think you nailed it, though. You sound like you had a pretty good little grunt.

[Adam Ray]

Nailed it, dude. I thought it's. I. You know, I just was like, dude, if I ever see one of the. The Tim Taylor kids, I'm gonna. I'm gonna do my Tim Taylor choice.

[Pat McAfee]

Was a great show.

[Adam Ray]

Great show. Underrated.

[Pat McAfee]

TUA has not been great.

[Adam Ray]

Two has not been great.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. For the Miami Dolphins. And is it be.

[Adam Ray]

Is it because he's shaking? Is it. Is he playing timid? Is he playing scared or, I don't know, too gumpy?

[Pat McAfee]

What do you think it is? Fan of the Dolphins.

[Adam Ray]

My thing is, he had his best.

[Tone Diggs]

Year when he was, like, bigger.

[Adam Ray]

He was jacked.

[Tone Diggs]

The year he had in 2023.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

When he got fat and he was rolling.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Jiu Jitsu worked out all offsets. Season didn't get hurt. And then we decide we're gonna scrap that and just change everything. And now we're got paid. He play. He played well yesterday. That's fine. He also missed Tyreek on the exact.

[Tone Diggs]

Same ball he threw the interception on.

[Pat McAfee]

When they played here.

[Adam Ray]

Like he misses those chances when he could have taken that game yesterday and went won that game.

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah, Gump. Gumps doesn't like that. Two had changed trainers. He just goes to this trainer. He just moved on. Gump done like that.

[Adam Ray]

Did he really?

[Pat McAfee]

Did that real happen?

[Darius J. Butler]

He changed the training regimen. And look, I told you guys. Tony, you're coming over to the dark side. Gump, I saw your tweet. You sound like you're coming up to the dark side. Not doing it. Don't let these organizations hold you hostage for five, six months. You're gonna stink. Look, packers fan. I get it.

[Pat McAfee]

Thank you.

[Darius J. Butler]

Patriots. Lot of success. Lot of parades. I get it. Steelers, six titles. I get it. 25 years. No, pick another team. Get another. Maybe go NFC. Maybe go in a different division. Don't let them hold you hostage. I mean you for. We sit at 4, 7, 10 hours watching football. You just got to be shitty all week, all season long because your team stinks. Organization, top down. I mean, come on, man.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

You're supposed to still enjoy the other game.

[Pat McAfee]

You're supposed to be free country. You're supposed to be waiting all day till Sunday night, not hating all day. Exactly. Until Sunday night. If your team is ass, you're saying don't be scared to snoop around. Maybe pick up another team for a couple weeks. Maybe forever.

[AJ Hawk]

Why not?

[Darius J. Butler]

Or just say you're a fan of the players. Use that gimmick.

[Connor Rogers]

Oh, I'm a fan of that gimmick sucks.

[Pat McAfee]

Don't do that. I root for the Charge.

[Darius J. Butler]

I like Jalen Hurts.

[Pat McAfee]

I root for the.

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah. Use that gimmick.

[Connor Rogers]

Oh, shut up. How about this? If you like Jalen hurts, root for the Eagles. If you like. Who's the other player? You said Herbert. Whatever. Have fun. Go Chargers. Don't do the. The player that sucks. That's the generation that doesn't go outside.

[Adam Ray]

You're not a real fan.

[Connor Rogers]

That's the same generation that rules team fandom.

[Pat McAfee]

You're saying this is fantasy football. If you want to be.

[Connor Rogers]

Exactly. Draft a fantasy team.

[Adam Ray]

What percentage of fantasy football players you think are that way that are just rooting for the players for the. For the.

[Pat McAfee]

I think this has gone through a cycle. I think there was a time where it was just players. I think everybody still likes players, but I think think being a team fan has become more of a. In thing.

[Connor Rogers]

Yes.

[Pat McAfee]

I think personally it made it easier.

[Connor Rogers]

To join Teams too. Like, we're like. They have the. The commercials with all the like celebrities that are repping their team. Like, I forget there's Twitch guys that were in it that I can't think of their name.

[Pat McAfee]

Ninja.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, maybe Ninja.

[Pat McAfee]

Like, and that other guy. Tell with a T. Tim the Tatman.

[Connor Rogers]

The tap man. Yeah, like people who.

[Pat McAfee]

A lot of te is three T's, right? Four T's.

[Tone Diggs]

You can't think. You can't remember the Twitch guy's name.

[Adam Ray]

That's weird.

[Pat McAfee]

So nobody knows who weave are either.

[Tone Diggs]

Okay, I didn't claim too.

[Pat McAfee]

Sound like. Sound like you kind of were. Oh, you're. You were just on All a Twitch here. Is that what that was?

[Tone Diggs]

Well, no, I was. I've been on this for a long time. Their names are so weird. It's always like Bubble mcbubblestein or something like that.

[Pat McAfee]

You know, they do have cool, crafty. They do over there. Twitch. Is Twitch still gone wars. But Will, is Twitch still a thing?

[Adam Ray]

I'm not still farting around.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Is it?

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Kick still a thing. Is Kai on Twitch?

[Darius J. Butler]

I think so.

[Pat McAfee]

What's Kai on?

[Connor Rogers]

I have.

[Pat McAfee]

No way.

[Darius J. Butler]

I think Kyle's on Twitter.

[Pat McAfee]

What's Speed on?

[Adam Ray]

Everything.

[Darius J. Butler]

Everything.

[Connor Rogers]

He's definitely on Dog Kick.

[Pat McAfee]

I thought everywhere. What's that? Bill? Bill.

[Connor Rogers]

Geez, Bill, let's go. Twitch is still a thing, although they are desperately, desperately losing money.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, who's on Twitch? Where's Kai and I show Speed and that entire streamer university group. What are they on right now?

[Ty Schmidt]

So I think they bounce around like Kyle go back and forth. I think his last one was on YouTube. But he will do stuff on Twitch. I think Kick is another big one. That gumpy just said that's where like Aiden Ross and a bunch of those guys are.

[Connor Rogers]

It's kind of just like a free.

[Ty Schmidt]

For all right now on where people are. They'll get paid for like three month run guns at a time and do stuff on those platforms.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, well, good luck to everybody for three months at a time. Hey, sometimes you gotta live life three months at a time.

[Ty Schmidt]

That's right.

[Pat McAfee]

Fast and furious.

[Connor Rogers]

Exactly.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, what's the next over? Jeez. That he got hurt.

[Adam Ray]

Turf toe. It's like. It's also like the. When the injuries, like, just don't sound cool and sexy. What a bummer.

[Pat McAfee]

Tennis elbow.

[Adam Ray]

Tennis elbow.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah. That stupid wrist.

[Adam Ray]

Premature jacket. Like, there's just so many things that take you out and you just can't. I don't think no one's set out for that.

[Pat McAfee]

No. Oh, maybe I don't know what's going on.

[Connor Rogers]

We don't know about 30 years.

[Pat McAfee]

The next overreaction comes from a Giants fan, Bruce Brown. Hashtag I don't overreact. But oh, Bruce, be happy. At least it was an entertaining close game where the offense scored points. No, I won't be happy. James Hudson embarrassed the program. You can't touch Dak Prescott without roughing the passer. The kickoff goes to the 35, and Aubrey is probably good from there. John, Giants football as hell. See you all on Sunday night Football. But, hey, Russ was slinging. It sure sounds like a lot of condescending remarks from Bruce Brown. Bruce, it was an entertaining loss, was it not? Oh, you're.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, you're muted.

[Pat McAfee]

God damn it.

[AJ Hawk]

This Giants football team, man, even I.

[Adam Ray]

Can'T do anything right. I'm so sick of losing and just.

[AJ Hawk]

Showing up every Sunday.

[Adam Ray]

And we got James Hudson just doing. The most embarrassing is just slapping a guy upside the head, slamming him into.

[AJ Hawk]

The ground after a play right afterwards. He should have been ejected probably for that.

[Adam Ray]

Two personal fouls.

[AJ Hawk]

Get the hell out of here. He's false start in every other play.

[Adam Ray]

I'm just so sick of losing.

[AJ Hawk]

I'm sick of losing to the Cowboys and Brandon Aubrey, who's just like a golden boy.

[Adam Ray]

Good from 75.

[Pat McAfee]

It's a nightmare.

[AJ Hawk]

Congrats to Ross throwing the ball. Keep seat warm for another week or two.

[Pat McAfee]

Also Scaboo. Scaboo's running wild. He's.

[AJ Hawk]

He's rolling through, people. He's awesome. Awesome to watch, but God damn it, I just want to win some.

[Adam Ray]

You're not inspired at all by that performance. I mean, like, it was entertaining.

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, I'll take the moral victory of, you know, our.

[Pat McAfee]

Our head coach has.

[Adam Ray]

Has no control, obviously.

[AJ Hawk]

There's no discipline at all.

[Adam Ray]

We're fighting on the sideline, but hey.

[AJ Hawk]

Russ turned back the clock for a Sunday.

[Adam Ray]

We can bend bank on that every weekend. Maybe we'll. Maybe we'll win a couple. 39 to 37. That'd be nice.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, yeah. Wait. Oh. What the hell happened to the defense? I thought I'd have to do a Carter. Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, actually, we're gonna be the best football.

[AJ Hawk]

It is just one of those things where the. The stink of sucking for so long.

[Adam Ray]

Is just so a part of our DNA now where it's 1310, we got a halftime lead, and you just know we're gonna lose the game somehow, you know, to.

[Pat McAfee]

Took a little while.

[AJ Hawk]

We really strung it out, went to overtime.

[Adam Ray]

But yeah, just the losing football team doing.

[Pat McAfee]

Losing football team shit. That was his second penalty there. I think on the same drive there they were on a third and 20. He said, let's back that up another five. At least I'm a false start. And then later in the drive, he would get a late hit, basically unnecessary roughness where he would drive his forearm through the back of a guy's head after the ball had been released. And then they get all the way down and then he would false start, just run all the way into the defenses. Yeah, here's the unsportsmanlike conduct after a play. Yeah, that was after two penalties already. That was his third penalty. And then a few plays later, he would, you know, decide to get off on the ball just a little bit too quick. Tough Sunday for James.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yes.

[Pat McAfee]

I. I think everybody would say, there he is, that's his fourth penalty. In same drive, four penalties, same drive.

[Connor Rogers]

640 in the first.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. And then also gave up sack, I do believe. And it inevitably led to day ball saying, okay, how much more are we doing? Get him out, get him out, get him out. And then afterwards, there was a little bit of a differing of opinion. Maybe he was just upset for how bad it all went. Maybe some people said that can't happen in professional football. Whatever. It was a lot of emotions. So whenever. And Jameis closed it up, bringing him back down. So we're. It's okay. You got more penalties than anybody we've ever seen in one drive for most amount of yards. And also the time in which you got got him absolutely despicable. I mean, all of it's bad, but next week we're gonna be better. He got paid, I believe, some money. Yes. What is the deal that you guys have for him?

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, it's two years, 12 million.

[Darius J. Butler]

It would.

[Adam Ray]

He was us shoring up our O line.

[AJ Hawk]

It's like, okay, Andrew Thomas coming back from Liz Frank. At least we got James Hudson to.

[Adam Ray]

Kind of, you know, handle things.

[Pat McAfee]

Obviously not. He's fired up. He's.

[Adam Ray]

Dude, I love the passion. I love the passion. But hey, just between the lines.

[AJ Hawk]

Maybe not. When the rest of the ref is.

[Adam Ray]

Like right in front of you, do you shove the guy's head into the.

[AJ Hawk]

Ground after like a 40 yard pass play?

[Connor Rogers]

First and goal.

[Pat McAfee]

Sorry, Bruce. Not overreaction. Okay.

[Adam Ray]

Next week, a very sane, normal response.

[Pat McAfee]

You're fine.

[Connor Rogers]

You know those four teams that started 0 and 2 to end up going to the Super Bowl, Guess who one of them was.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, Eli Manning.

[Pat McAfee]

The New York Football Giants Is that Tom Coughlin's team?

[Connor Rogers]

That was Tommy C. Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Shout out.

[Pat McAfee]

This discipline feels the same. The. The New York Giants are certainly a team that we can look forward to for bringing entertainment through that guy. That's right. Yesterday he was loud in that suite.

[Connor Rogers]

Oh, boy.

[Pat McAfee]

Russ hits that deep all fourth quarter very late. You know, we're talking, yelling.

[Connor Rogers]

Because it was quiet in the stadium too. Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Because what was going on in Colts game was nothing at the time. Maybe offense was on the field. Like, who know, Maybe even having a moment of silence.

[Connor Rogers]

It might have been before the game started.

[Pat McAfee]

I mean, who knows what's happening. He's screaming, losing his mind in the entirety. So it's been fun to watch you. So we shout out the Giants for being the type of football that they are. Let's go to the next overreaction. Josh Dorsey and Adam, you're a part of this. This is at J. Underscore Dorsey3 follower of the program. We appreciate him. Hashtag. I don't want to overreact, but who's cold Spunner. Great question. I'm asked was we only know goddamn punter. First time in a Super bowl era team hasn't putted within the first two games. Danny Dimes in Alien. This is a brotherhood cult. Super bowl. This one winner. And Adam, you were there. You felt it.

[Adam Ray]

Hot, dude, hot vibes. Cool treats. We treat you right. Dairy Queen. It was.

[Pat McAfee]

That's right. It's a blizzard. It's a white out.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, bro.

[Darius J. Butler]

It was.

[Adam Ray]

Also, dude, there's something about, like being around an environment in the squad like that where, you know, like, the fans want it so bad, dude. So, like, the energy is just palpable and infectious. But, uh, yeah, dude, that, uh, that kick was incredible. I. I think if. I think if you guys go three zero, dude, I mean, I might just have to fly back for every home game.

[Pat McAfee]

Come on.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, I mean, I don't want to.

[Pat McAfee]

I don't know if you're sitting with us, but you could definitely. Joe, you're welcome.

[Adam Ray]

I said I could stand outside of his box.

[Darius J. Butler]

Do they always do the. The Red dawn dropping the T shirts with the umbrellas with the parachutes with me?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Sam tries to win that everywhere. Yeah. So it all goes. It always goes the same section § Ah, those things are falling to the same section basically every single time up. Yeah. Well, the only reason why I know that is because Sam has been desperately trying to win one since we got there. Like pushing people out of the way every once in a while. Wind gusts Will bring one kind of closer to us. Real excitement comes and then that thing just goes right back to the same section in the back. But there's good stuff out there. The helmet. You see the helmet one?

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Do you see the helmet mix? They've added a couple things. Last week they sent all the helmets off. The camera. Camera. Oh, wow.

[Ty Schmidt]

I like that.

[Pat McAfee]

And then they said, we're just joking. Oh, nice, nice. Brought it back, opened it back up. So it gave somebody a chance to catch up halfway through. That's good.

[Adam Ray]

Wait, how do you feel about the no punting?

[Pat McAfee]

So Rigoberto had a punt in the first game for like 60, some yards penalty, roughing first down. We went on to score, obviously we scored every single drive and that came in the first three. The goal of the the game is to have no punts. That is very much the A goal. So I think I as a punter and Rigoberto definitely is punter for the Colts. I don't know about how everybody would feel, but we love it. Punters love having a good time. We like. We like winning. Yeah. If we don't got to do shit, let's keep winning. This whole thing. I kicked off and obviously you hold as well. So if we were winning, I still had a little bit to do. Rigo does not kick off. Spencer Schrader needs to figure out his kickoffs. Maybe Rigo should kick off. Actually might be something to think about there. But yeah, no punt's good. There's no punter being like, man, I need two, three punts, kind of get it. I wish I'd get four or five points in this entire thing.

[Connor Rogers]

Joe Judge.

[Pat McAfee]

I don't know if anybody's doing that now, Joe. Yeah, Trying to get the team, get the punter into the game early is certainly a decision. Certainly.

[Adam Ray]

I mean, I never punted. I was a guy in Madden. If it was 4th and 29, I was like, we're going for it.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, you got every time. Yeah, you got the time.

[Adam Ray]

Who punts in Madden? Raise your hands.

[Pat McAfee]

Losers. Losers. Bruce Punces.

[Adam Ray]

Matt Del Rio, defensive master. Wow, Mr. Unlimited back there, huh?

[Pat McAfee]

Let's go to another overreaction, shall we? This is from Joe Malavia. Pison here really loves football. Hashtag. I don't want to overreact, but as a Bengals fan, the season is over. I would seriously look into trading Joe Burrow this offseason. He can't stay on field. Top 2 QB when he's healthy, but that when is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Blow it up and try again with Arch in 2026. Okay. Still one Arch.

[Connor Rogers]

Wow.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Yeah, still one Arch. That's what I heard, aj. Is that what Ohio saying? We got Arch manning billboards around time?

[AJ Hawk]

I have not seen any of those yet, but you never know.

[Pat McAfee]

What.

[AJ Hawk]

What about Kurt Cousins? Is he. Is. Is he a possibility 1000, right?

[Adam Ray]

It's got to be.

[Pat McAfee]

They were thinking about him being traded before the season started. Michael Penic's clearly going to be the guy for them.

[Adam Ray]

You've been watching this QB show on. On Netflix with Kirk?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, brother.

[Adam Ray]

I mean, dude, he's like, just joke going, foaming at the mouth. Just like, I'm gonna just be a good guy and just, you know, help Mike win. But, you know, like, when the cameras go, he's like, all right, thanks so much for being here, guys. Oh, did you get the coupons for the Panera Broccoli cheddar soup?

[Pat McAfee]

Okay.

[Adam Ray]

Thank you so much, man. No, you got. Really appreciate you guys being here. I said. And again, you can sleep over next time if you want. Okay, thank you. Door closes I mean, that guy is, I think, just needs to play, you know, Needs to have the keys. Needs to have the keys of the Hyundai Tucson, you know, I don't think.

[Pat McAfee]

Think he does have a Hyundai Tucson and he. Him and his boys can build a great fire. We learn. And he has that little. He has that brain thing he puts on his head.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, yeah, dude.

[Pat McAfee]

He's one of one, I do believe. And why not Cincinnati?

[Adam Ray]

He's the best option right now. Why not, right? Also picking up that tab 20, 25, I think Browning over Kirk, really?

[Connor Rogers]

Personally, Jake Browning's got.

[Ty Schmidt]

He gets slinging.

[Connor Rogers]

He does.

[Pat McAfee]

We like Jake Browning.

[Connor Rogers]

I'm a fan.

[Pat McAfee]

He's got great moxie, too. Jake Browning. Browning can talk. Young stud, from what I've seen. Jake Browning's got moxie. He does. He's got game.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Could be a college football coach if he had to be. Wow. Guy can play. He can. He can.

[Connor Rogers]

Oh, I know. I'm a believer.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, we'll see if Cincinnati Bengals can somehow get lucky one time. Do you think that's gonna happen? Happen? I don't know.

[Connor Rogers]

Typically, when, you know your star players want money in and you. You say to them, like, what a certain point, why don't you just shut your mouth and be happy that we're even?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. But they end up giving a little bit more money.

[Connor Rogers]

They kind of. We'll see if that's the reality, because the Pittsburgh Steelers give. Came Hayward More money, but they didn't.

[Pat McAfee]

You know, it was 3 million bucks in the centers. It's a little bit more. He got his hand on a ball. Interception. Obviously doing his thing. Let's go to another overreaction, shall we? This is from Aaron Clinton at. Hi, my name is Ninja. Hashtag, I don't want to ever reaction, but Chiefs is no longer Chiefs. Go run, boys. But the other line is worse than last year. Somehow might go winless and get the number one overall pick. Hashtag, see you at the draft. Whoa. Chiefs fans going through it right now.

[Adam Ray]

They really are. Dude, I'm going to the steak restaurant on Wednesday for Pat and Trav. 1587 Prime. I mean, I was fired up, but, you know, I mean, I still am fired up. I'm going to eat everything. I'm going to, you know, it's going to be great. But, I mean, doesn't that affect, like, you're. You're not winning. You're owing to, like.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, Steakhouse. Probably not going to have good vibes. Yeah, exactly. Not allowed to have good vibes. Rowan, too.

[Connor Rogers]

My beard sign.

[Adam Ray]

Like, don't. Do you feel bad if you're doing. No, probably not. Right? That's a big deal. They'll celebrate and just get back to it. You got.

[Pat McAfee]

They've done a lot.

[Adam Ray]

You got to shake it off. Right.

[Pat McAfee]

Obviously, Patrick and Travis.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, they own that city. It, dude. I was once there with Pat, and he was doing my podcast back in the day, and we're rolling around and. And we're in the gas station. He's just saying hi, taking pics with everybody. I mean, he's like mayor of the. It's. I mean, football. I was doing this little comedy club, and he just came through, sat in the back in the big tracksuit by himself. And the staff at this comedy club could not believe. It was like they were meeting Jesus and Bieber together.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Let's go, football player.

[Adam Ray]

We believe in one of you, but we can't believe you're both here, you know, And. And they were freaking out, dude. And he was just like, man, the people taking pictures. One guy, though, did. Who was filming my shows. I'm sure you guys have experienced this where you just meet somebody, you're trying to do something nice, and then he just takes advantage. And he goes, he. The guy just was filming my shows. And then he goes, travis, what's up, man? And then just goes on Instagram Live, he goes, I'm here with my main man, Travis Kelsey.

[Pat McAfee]

I was like, dude, sounds like Albert. A Little bit.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

It was.

[Adam Ray]

It was me, but I. But I didn't.

[Pat McAfee]

I was the one.

[Adam Ray]

I felt comfy. Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Let's go to the next overreaction. Chiefs fans might be a little bit upset. Andrew, Hashtag. I don't want to overreact, but Dan Campbell is the deliverer foretold, the warrior of destiny in the prophesied. Prophesied. Prophesied.

[Ty Schmidt]

He spelled it wrong, but, you know, you get it.

[Adam Ray]

You sounded it out correct.

[Pat McAfee]

Prophesied the Lions look great in week two and it's because of MCDC. Build the statue, sign him for 100 years and promote him the senior manager at Applebee's. Act Applebee's commercial this year is ass for mcdc. We thought that was going to be a trend for how the entire Lions season was going to be. We thought it was the same old Lions. We thought Detroit was back to sucking. You're all the way back, Foxy. Is Andrew on the same page as you? Yeah. I love everything what Andrew said there. I mean, mcdc, I said it last year. Give him a lifetime contract. Give Jared Goff a lifetime contract. Because the Lions were absolutely irrelevant until those guys came in here. So I love what Andrew's doing. And let's be honest, last week was probably the most held. Detroit's been in with the Lions for so long because before those guys, expectations were so low, so no one cared. And then after that, they just won every single year and continued to get better. Last week, they finally regressed. So Detroit was in hell. The coaching came back, won a game. We're back. Let's stay in the NFC North. We actually have some breaking news. I believe this is what. What Schefter was referring to as obviously a part of his bad news that was coming. Vikings quarterback J.J. mcCarthy is expected to be sidelined two to four weeks with a high ankle sprain. With McCarthy out, Carson Wentz is now in line to start. Carson Wentz. Football is back. J.J. mcCarthy. We hope you get healthy. Obviously, it wasn't the greatest game for the Minnesota Vikings offense last night. J.J. mcCarthy in that fourth quarter, the first game showcased absolute excellence. Him getting hurt again obviously sucks for the development of JJ and the entire JJ McCarthy era. But now one ankle sprain opens the door for potential. Two ankle sprains. Two sprains. Carson Wentz back on a field. We saw him here in the Indianapolis Colts. When he's playing great ball, it is electrifying. When he's making some decisions that cost your entire city team and everything. The game, it's not as fun. He's been through it though. Maybe a little bit more mature. Maybe in the Kevin o' Connell offense, he has a chance. But if two sprains gets going out there, this Vikings team is going to go off without a hitch. NFC north needs to be scared as shit about Carson Wentz taking over him.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, we'll see. I mean, I'm excited to see if he can just listen to what Kevin o' Connell says and not do all the other bullshit, all the extracurricular bullshit that he's kind of been known for doing the last several years where it's like, hey, you know, we just need to pick up up 3 yards for a first down and kind of get this drive moving. You don't have to throw it 150 yards downfield, which Wentz tends to do. But I love this. I mean, everyone, you know, J.J. was the prince who was promised. We were kind of already starting that. Let's see if Carl Wentz can kind of turn his career around. I mean, we might be talking, you know, we said, hey, same thing with Mac Jones and Brock Purdy. Are we looking at a situation where Carson Wentz potentially is the. The QB of the future for the Minnesota Vikings? I think there's a chance.

[Pat McAfee]

Chance. There's also breaking news coming out about Jaden Daniels. He had a minor knee sprain that they got. I'm. I'm texting it in right now. Okay. Underwent an MRI following the loss to the Packers. Was diagnosed with a sprained knee. Not a long term injury, but Daniel status this week versus the Raiders is in down. Holy wow. So that's what Schefter said. He was referring to Jalen Johnson, Jaden Daniels, J.J. mcCarthy. Now, three injuries reported here on this overreaction Monday. Seemingly people losing time throughout the season. That sucks. Did not know that about Jaden had. When was it? Do we know when it was?

[Ty Schmidt]

I mean, he was under pressure all night like so. But it didn't. During the game, you know, he was.

[Pat McAfee]

I mean they looked not.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, he wasn't as elusive. He wasn't able to get away from guys. But it never looked like he was really hurt.

[Connor Rogers]

There was one tackle. Tackle. I remember that was like just one of those awkward ones where his leg went into the ground and it just kind of like moved a little bit while it was at Lambo. I remember them showing the replay.

[Darius J. Butler]

Fourth quarter.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, yeah, in the fourth quarter. But he didn't come out. He just kept playing. He actually waved someone off after the play in the Fourth quarter.

[Adam Ray]

This is always the tough thing, too, with having a quarterback that can run right where you just like at some point somebody's gonna land on your foot or your leg or you're gonna slide the wrong way or you're gonna see a whole. You're still an aggressive competitor, so you want to get a few more yards and extend the play. But that might be the play that gets Kirk Cousins called in on that.

[Pat McAfee]

Amen. On that note, though, whenever Lamar Jackson was up when he was a free agent, he's representing himself. There's a lot going on. A lot of people are like, it's going to be impossible to deal with. They were trying to spread bad things because he didn't have an agent. Okay. So the word was, he's going to get hurt. He's going to get hurt. Can't pay a guy. Guy that plays football like that, he's going to get hurt. He's going to get hurt. Some guys have an incredible ability to just avoid the big collisions. Now, granted, in the pocket, anybody can get hurt in the pocket, right? Joe Burrow got hurt in the pocket. Seems like Jaden maybe got hurt in the pocket. So it's like Purdy. Yeah. Brock Purdy got hurt in the pocket. So, like, those in the pocket injuries, if you're not a durable person, I think can show up or you can get unlucky and kind of get twisted up in there. But the guys that. That run, I think, and Josh Allen's looking for contact, but if they make it to the NFL and they can run, they also have an ability to avoid hits, which is a skill. Like, I watched Ty Hilton just won in the FIU hall of Fame. Congratulations, Ty. I watched Ty Hilton, undersized wide receiver, but very fast, could get open and understood ball. So, like, he was a great asset. But, like, his first couple games, he'd get the ball and then he would go down before taking a hit. Colts fans were not happy. Like, hey, let's go. And then all of a sudden, like, week 14, week 15, he's still playing, and it's because he's not taking the dumb hits that you don't have to take. So, like, running quarterbacks just can't take the big hits.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Have to know how to not do it. But if you're in the pocket, you get ripped up that you're. That's a nasty place to be.

[Connor Rogers]

That was the borough thing you were talking about earlier, like, where he wanted to get hit early. Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

No, you don't, bro. We need you not getting hit. You're gonna.

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah, you're gonna take the hits regardless of what type of quarterback you are. Like, you're in there. And that's why, like, the quarterbacks that have like these iron man streaks, like Brett Favre playing as many games, you know, Peyton, Tom, you know, he had the ACL year. But most of these guys, like, we always say your best ability is availability. Like, if you have that same quarterback trotting out, like, that's a huge deal just to have that. So when you have these quarterbacks that, you know missed three games here, missed four games here, here, Mint six here, I mean, there is something for, you know, playing through injuries and obviously some. Sometimes you just can't play through certain. But yeah, it's tough season peas.

[Pat McAfee]

That's a lot of injuries. Coming out on overreaction Monday. Go ahead.

[Adam Ray]

I was gonna say you were talking about taking hits and playing through anything. But your tight end Warren is like, maybe my new favorite player. It's getting to see, you know how it is too. It's like you're a fan of a band, then you see him live and you're like, dude, like, you know, boys to men, it's so much better life, you know, but like, but you see Warren playing and you're like, this guy wants to be the best player in football.

[Pat McAfee]

So strong.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, nobody was taking him down. I mean, yeah, maybe not the fastest dude, but fast enough, fast enough, fast enough.

[Pat McAfee]

So that's literally was the knock. He was the second drafted tight end. Colon Loveland out of Michigan was the first drafted tight end. He was the second one and the knock was he wasn't fast enough. And it's like we're throwing him screens. So I think he's just. I think he's fast enough. Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

I think Colson Loveland has two cats catches.

[Pat McAfee]

I think he's doing just fine.

[Adam Ray]

Danny Dimes loves him also leaning into the contact. And just every time, like, look at just. It also feels like it's not even affecting him. That's what's crazy when you see a guy that takes a hit and other guys are bouncing off him.

[Connor Rogers]

It's only a second.

[Adam Ray]

Couple, couple AB select start moves there.

[Pat McAfee]

That is. That is a couple AB select start. Let's go to the next overreaction. Will be in the NFC north for the Chicago Bears or screw. Oh, you went through a lot of them. Here we go. Yeah, it is. This is from jay bear@j bear224. Hashtag. I don't want to overreact. But the Bears stink. They could have Jesus Christ the quarterback and God is the head coach and they would still win a max of six games and go.06 in the division. They got their asses beat this weekend. Yeah. And if you talk about God and Jesus Christ, I mean, Caleb was like this generation and Ben Johnson was literally. So I'm not. Obviously we're not comparing as religious fixtures, but when you talk about the two most prominent people for those roles, they got them right now in the. In the very important and they just got their asses kicked. Now, how long will it take to transition into everybody working to maximum maximize. What do you think, A.J. you think they ever get there?

[AJ Hawk]

I mean, there's no guarantee that they ever get there. I mean, I think if you. If you give them enough time. Yeah, most likely they, they will figure it out with Ben Johnson and in the offense and what they want. But like, that could be a couple years. We don't know. We have no clue when it could happen.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, let's go to the next overreaction. What. What are you shaking your head about?

[Ty Schmidt]

Well, no, I was just gonna say, I mean, I love it. We talked about the Bears winning the super bowl year week two. You know, then they're done. You know, they want to fire Ben Johnson. Also. I thought it was pretty funny. Caleb Johnson, if you. Or what's his name, Caleb Williams, on draft night when they drafted Tory Taylor, he texted him and said, like, don't worry about it because we ain't gonna be punting. Bears have punted the most times in the NFL since he sent that text. So it's kind of, you know, Freudian little, you know, but it's just, I mean, if you're in the nfc, like, Foxy can attest to this. Vikings fans can attest to this. Like, if you're a fan of a team in the NFC north, you knew this was gonna happen. You knew this was gonna happen.

[Adam Ray]

Are they doomed? Are they the most doomed team?

[Connor Rogers]

That's why I don't Jets.

[Ty Schmidt]

I don't. But I don't know if that.

[Pat McAfee]

If they're Bengals maybe ever.

[Ty Schmidt]

As cuz like Connor said this last week and he was kind of joking, but like we are. We are on the collision course for a Ben Johnson case. Just massive blow up on the sidelines and then that becomes a big thing. Is Tyson, Ben going to start like, it's coming.

[Adam Ray]

They wouldn't fire him mid season, right?

[Pat McAfee]

No, no, no. Russell Wilson, Sean Payton situation. We think, we think Ben Johnson, because he took that Job. Now obviously did he take that job because Caleb's there and had a lot of hope for Caleb. Caleb certainly. But if he had multiple options, which everybody says he did, and he's like the most highly sound after head coach in the last decade or two, he would definitely say, hey, if this doesn't work, I have the ability to move in a different direction. You would assume. You would assume just because Sean Payton, Russell Wilson, Sean Payton, similar situation. A lot of places wanted him. He was in Arizona for a while. He got paid a lot of place. He definitely went in there too and said, hey, if this doesn't work with Russ, I'm able to move on. The ownership told him yes. So I don't know if that's what it is with Chicago, but it feels like Ben Johnson would have that ability. Like they would ride with Ben much more than they would ride with Caleb is what I feel. But we don't know if that's the case.

[Connor Rogers]

That's the sense I also get just.

[Pat McAfee]

From the Internet because we don't know if Ben was strictly hired to make Caleb good.

[Adam Ray]

Let me ask you this. I don't think Sean, like you said, Sean Payton went to ownership and said if it doesn't work, I can move on. I don't think he even wanted it to work personally. I think that was from the get go. So do you think Ben Johnson is like that with Caleb or he really. Do you think like well, let's try to.

[Pat McAfee]

Interesting.

[Darius J. Butler]

I think he was. Cuz he could have. He was the better ball for three years and he.

[Adam Ray]

And it's his first head coaching job. Peyton was coming over being like I'm.

[Darius J. Butler]

Going to go coach this guy and we get it right. So I think he went there. But yeah, we don't. We're not in the same league where you're giving a guy three or four years to figure it out. Like they're, they're. It's on a quick timeline here.

[Adam Ray]

Made mistake.

[Pat McAfee]

Honestly, you think Ben.

[Connor Rogers]

I think there's a chance like he. The, the Washington. There's a story of Washington going up there before they drafted Jaden Daniels when they had the number two pick and he basically said like nah, I'm not going to coach for Washington. And then they turned the plane around like that's the alleged story with Adam Peters and you know, Washington and Washington turns out and ends up being good. And then you know, Ben Johnson was the bell of the ball last year and then this year. But like he got interviewed by the past but he wasn't the past number one. Whereas, you know, a year ago he might have been probably, probably the Pats number one. Especially with Drake May and the North Carolina connection. So if I. I don't know, I. I just hope it ends in a Caleb. Ben Johnson fucking wrestler on the sideline, fourth quarter, 20 seconds left, down by fit.

[Pat McAfee]

Caleb's an incredible athlete, but Ben's got a lot of grit. I don't know how that wrestling match goes.

[Connor Rogers]

I don't know either.

[Pat McAfee]

I'm.

[Connor Rogers]

And also, how was the Manny? Was the Manny sharp this week? Does he. Can he scratch with those nails? You never know know because that might help Caleb when it.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh yeah, you're talking about Angel. Reese's nail.

[Connor Rogers]

Sorry, short for Manny. Excuse me. Duh.

[Pat McAfee]

I thought we were talking Duke head coach. Yeah. All right, let's move on to the next overreaction, shall we? This is from EJ at Robo Knobbins. Almost pudding. Hashtag. I don't want to overreact, but the Dallas Cowboys need to stop all this winning garbage and loose. That was a hard fought game with the Giants. Let's make the most of those draft picks and have a 3 and 14 season.

[Adam Ray]

Yikes.

[Pat McAfee]

We're battling it out against the Giants. Get us the out of here. Let us get the number one overall pick. We are ass this year is what this Dallas Cowboys fan says. I don't think they feel that way though. No. I think the moving on from Micah maybe Dallas Cowboys fans felt a little bit more. I don't think the locker room or the team really feel it that much. Much. And obviously that's a huge win. I mean that's a gigantic win. Especially in the moment. You gotta battle some drama. Brandon Aubrey, this guy's unflappable. Absolutely unstoppable. It's like I think the Cowboys think they're good.

[Adam Ray]

Did you see that video post game? I mean Jerry was down there being like watch my Netflix special. And then, and then.

[Pat McAfee]

Did he say that?

[Adam Ray]

He did say that and so don't quote me though. But, but, but they were all fired up for shoddy. They were like rallying around. He was getting emotional. So I think you're exactly, exactly right. I don't think there's any sign of like, you know, this is just, you know, a hard fought win. I think it's like, let's build on.

[Connor Rogers]

This good vibes too. Like you. We talk about the Micah conversation or the Micah contract with them not working out. Like now everyone's getting paid. They paid a lineman yesterday right before the Game started. So you talk about, like, team morale. Like, Daron Bland just got paid with Tyler Smith, you said. Yeah, he just got paid.

[Ty Schmidt]

Like, signed Clowny after. After the game.

[Connor Rogers]

Sign Clowney after the game. They could probably now if they really wanted to, depending on how the season goes. Like, hang on to Pickens if they want to do a Pickens and cd. Like, they have options now, at least.

[Pat McAfee]

What if the Cowboys are good, AJ what if they are? Yeah, why not?

[AJ Hawk]

I think they're legit. I think Dak is awesome. I think Dak is still underrated in what he's able to do. Kenny Clark. Kenny Clark got a sack yesterday as well. So their trade's working out and Mike.

[Pat McAfee]

Is working out for Green Bay. This could be a win. Win, win, win, win. All right, last overreaction here from clayton@clay daddy88. Hashtag. I don't want to overreact, but the Eagles are still the best team in the league. But the O. Coordinator should have been thrown out of the damn plane on the way back to Philly. Sir. A lot of people from Philly saying this. Yeah, there are.

[Ty Schmidt]

There are quite a few. But this is. I mean, this is Philly. You know, this is what you expect. Last year, I think they were like, eight and one, and every week it was like, Sirianni's a. When we lose, it's going to be the. This moron's fault and they win the Super Bowl. So I. I don't think there's, you know, cause for concern yet.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, we win. But let's make sure this offensive coordinator doesn't land on his feet. Yeah, that's awesome. Good for Philadelphia. Remember, tonight, double header. Double header tonight. Buccaneers at Texans, Chargers at Raiders. We have our picks already.

[Darius J. Butler]

Yeah, I remember.

[Pat McAfee]

A.J. has the Buccaneers. I have the Texans. Texans. D. Butt has the Texans. AJ And D. Butt have the Chargers minus three and a half. I have the Raiders plus three and a half. Adam Ray, would you like to make a pick?

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, dude. I mean, you know, I'm still a Pete guy. I'm going Pete. I'm going Raiders birthday.

[Darius J. Butler]

Happy birthday.

[Adam Ray]

Today.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Good God. 73.

[Pat McAfee]

4.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, looking good, by the way. The same way Marshawn got, like, a Skittles campaign. Wrigley's double mint. Somebody should have jumped on that train with Pete chewing that gum. He's never. Gum's never had so much press before, you know what I'm saying? Bazooka Joe something.

[Connor Rogers]

Double bubble.

[Adam Ray]

Double bubble. Tiger stripe.

[Connor Rogers]

Was tiger stripe.

[Adam Ray]

Tiger blood.

[Pat McAfee]

Tiger blood. Some of that. Some of that. Yeah. That tiger blood certainly had a run.

[Adam Ray]

Watch that dog, by the way.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. I learned a lot. And then we all. Yeah, it.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah. But I think. I think Pete's gonna get that one. I think. I think Pete's gonna get that one. What was the other then, Hugh? Yeah, but I love me some Baker. I mean, those Hulu commercials are so good, but I think, yeah, I'm going. I'm going Bucks, and I'm going Raiders.

[Pat McAfee]

All right. I think you've made the right decisions for your own, so I think you did good right there.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, but we're. You know, that's.

[Pat McAfee]

Bake was one of the best commercial guys we had.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

And then it all went to.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yep.

[Adam Ray]

It's tough, dude. Some of these guys step in and they just, like, you know, going back to Russ, it's like, you know, just wasn't. Didn't really feel back.

[Darius J. Butler]

He's back. Hulu. Popeyes. He's back.

[Pat McAfee]

I saw the Popeyes one. I. I not see the.

[Adam Ray]

What's the Popeyes one.

[Darius J. Butler]

He's. He's got a few Popeyes one, right?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, he just. He just. The one I saw, he just sits there and goes, these are good. And then he eats the Popeyes. There we go. Leg, huh? Yeah, it was. It was great.

[Connor Rogers]

I haven't seen it.

[Pat McAfee]

I saw it. I was like, hell, yeah, Baker in a Popeyes deal. Love it. Good for you, Baker. I was very pump for him.

[Adam Ray]

Popeyes is good. Boston market would be cool to see. Come out of the woodwork, rest in peace. He's got to bring it back. Tom is the man. If there's one thing Tom can do, it's win Super Bowls and bring back franchises.

[Ty Schmidt]

He actually said he's got a big announcement tonight that could be Boston Market.

[Pat McAfee]

Give me a whole chicken.

[Adam Ray]

And Giselle is, like, in some. It's. It's how they, like, reconcile. And she's in some, like, really sexy outfit, like, time that kick an. I don't do her voice, but she, you know, she's like, in the check.

[Pat McAfee]

I love.

[Adam Ray]

You know.

[Pat McAfee]

Is that Brazilian?

[Adam Ray]

Don't get me, kid. I think so.

[Pat McAfee]

That you trying your best?

[Adam Ray]

All right, wait. I got to say one thing. We were trying to get my boy Johnny Schneider on the phone. Seahawks gm. He said, I'm sorry. Tell Pat it's my fault. Good thing. He said, you and I aren't in on communicating on headsets during the games. We suck, but that's going to be in my Mount Rushmore for Seahawks. I'm throwing up Johnny Schneider for building these teams, baby.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, so that's an underrated Galloway, Marshawn Lynch, Matt Hatch, Hasselbeck, Cam Chancellor. That would be four, which is what a Mount Rushmore is, but let's go ahead and toss a fifth.

[Adam Ray]

I put Schneider, like, on top, like, even, like the Bear.

[Pat McAfee]

Maybe. He's the back.

[Adam Ray]

He's the back. Schneider's back. He did just have back surgery.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, he's on the back of the mo.

[Adam Ray]

He's the back.

[Connor Rogers]

Dude could probably drop, hassle back and just go. And I'm a Hasselback guy. He's a Mass guy.

[Darius J. Butler]

Maybe the QB that. I don't know, probably want to say Super Bowl.

[Pat McAfee]

Adam, Love me so.

[Adam Ray]

Dude, I know it's tough. Can he, like, can Hasselback be, like, holding a. A cardboard cutout of Russ, maybe baby.

[Pat McAfee]

T.S. jackson. Come on, Tone. Please come over here. It's been a glorious over Monday.

[Darius J. Butler]

Steve Large.

[Pat McAfee]

We can't thank you all enough. A lot of great players over there in Seattle. Mt Rushmore only has four spots. He's made five.

[Adam Ray]

We're winning the west, by the way. We're winning the West. I know.

[Pat McAfee]

I know.

[Adam Ray]

Everyone still likes. You know, says Ran Stafford. But, like, I don't know. Hawks, it's. It's ours to lose. I feel like, like I said, no one's talking about us, DB I feel like that's. That's good.

[Connor Rogers]

Only team to lose in that division so far.

[Pat McAfee]

Mac Jones.

[Adam Ray]

We are.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. All right.

[Adam Ray]

You guys want to talk about my parents divorce nights? Jesus Christ. I thought I was having a good time. You're like. You guys actually only seen it suck right now.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, sorry. We already talked about your parents divorce. Yeah. If we can hit anything else putting.

[Adam Ray]

I love you.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Ms. Doubtfire. What a tough. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. If I change your life. We're in this thing together, Adam. Keep killing it, bro.

[Adam Ray]

I love you guys. Thank you.

[Pat McAfee]

If you get a chance to see him, obviously, go watch him. His vibes are fucking immaculate.

[Adam Ray]

The shows are a blast, man.

[Pat McAfee]

Team on me. You got anything to say?

[Adam Ray]

Well, you know what? Life gets tough. So wake up with the sun, go to bed with the moon, okay. And dig deep. And if you find. If you find yourself on the sidewalk and a stranger wants to give you a high five, give him a chest bump and a hug and, you know, and maybe maybe a little extra. A little extra finger. Maybe pet his hair, maybe, you know, ask him what his pin number is, where he lives, you know, what his blood type is. Buy him a Coke or a coffee and at the end of the day, we're all the same. So live it up, suck it up, spark one up and burn one down. We'll be right back.

[Pat McAfee]

Team on three. One, two, three. Goodbye.
