Peter Neverville
Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our spooky humble vote, the Thunderdome on this feel good. Happy Halloween. Friday, October 31, 2025. This program begins now. Football is magical. And obviously last night, week nine of the NFL season kicked off in a beautiful fashion with Lamar Jackson going absolutely apeshit in his return to football this season and also his return back home. He throws for four touchdowns. Now, my name is Peter Neverville, okay? And I've been covering sports longer than you. I know sports longer than you. I am an old sports media man, and what I see from Lamar Jackson is, holy shit good. This type of guy has the opportunity to not only be an incredible leader, he said, get those ping pong tables and cornhole boards out of our locker room. But also he has the ability to spin that thing. And if you need him to run, obviously he's going to be faster than you. So whenever you think about Lamar Jackson, you're talking Mount Rushmore type guy. And if you disagree with me, you're wrong. I don't ever think I've ever heard an argument against mine that I've ever liked. And that's certainly going to be one that you can classify under. I hate it if you say Lamar Jackson isn't a Mount Rushmore type player. Now, that was on display while the other side of the field was looking like ass cheeks. Okay? And whenever you talk about old ass cheeks of a team, you start to talk about teams that Maybe win by 30 against a team and then the next week, just a few days later, get absolutely decimated. Now, the stats in the first half weren't bad, but there is a fourth and two here in clear field goal territory. Now, kicker had missed the field goal already at that point, but fourth and two, let's go to our best play. You got it. What is it? Obviously fade to the running back. Okay? So that is something that nobody really enjoyed. I think a lot of people potentially turned a game off at Denver Point. Now, the Dolphins were moving down the field. They get to that position, they get no points. Is there going to be something that maybe happens with the Miami Dolphins? Yes. Chris Greer, general manager and I believe, president of football operations down there, a lot of power at the Miami Dolphins. He's gone. He's been there since 2016. I do believe so. Almost 10 years of service with the Miami Dolphins and he has since been relieved of his duties after last evening. Now, I think he should have played a little better last night.
Edward Simpson
Yeah.
Harry Potter
Mm.
Peter Neverville
I think he should have done a little bit better. When you think about Chris, career football. You don't necessarily say, like, hey, the team's going to be what we think, but this guy went all in with Tyreek Hill, okay? This guy went all in with McDaniel. This guy went all in with Tua. This guy had a lot of things happen under his. His leadership. But there was a time where we all thought maybe they were going to be great. There was a time they scored 70 against the Denver Broncos defense. There was a time where McDaniel was super cool. Remember, those are good times.
Nick Saban
Oh, yeah.
Peter Neverville
And now last night, all we watched was Steven Ross with binoculars, okay? Looking down and going, what the hell's going on out here? We stink. And he turned his binoculars right over to the suite next to him where that general manager was. Why is this happening? And he goes back here. And then he goes over here. He goes, we need to get this guy the hell out of here. So whenever you think about last night's game, it's a team that does not have a winning season in the Baltimore Ravens, potentially turning it around completely and looking like the team that we thought they could be. Defensively, getting some stops. Defensively getting some stops, yeah. Defense making some plays, couple turnovers. Okay, now we're having a good time. Congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens and to the sportsbooks who predicted that Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens were going to return whenever he was healthy enough to play. Let's go to the talks table for their thoughts. We have Harry Potter Potter and Heavenly Hulkster. Heavenly Hulkster, thank you so much for making an appearance. I hope you got a chance to experience all the love that was sent your way when you passed away. And I hope you got a chance to watch that game last night. Heavenly Hulkster, what were your thoughts from above?
Heavenly Hulkster
Well, dude, just like, say, great be back. Obviously you said, you know, I did feel a lot of love. There are also a lot of people out there who maybe, you know, were pissing on the Hulkster when. When he passed away. But will it behold, you see the angels wings, you see the halo. Turns out St. Peter is one of the biggest Hulkamania of all time.
Peter Neverville
I. I mean, I guess we should have, like, kind of put two and two together once we saw the halo and everything. Congrats. I guess that's kind of the big question whenever you're on Earth.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, exactly. I go up there and, you know, I'm thinking, hey, am I going to be waiting around? You know, what's. What's the deal? Boom. St. Peter. Immediately I see a real American.
Peter Neverville
And.
Heavenly Hulkster
He'S just drilled me with Questions about WrestleMania 3. How'd you. Body slave Andre, dude? How'd you do it, dude? We talked for about 50 minutes, and then he said, you know what, Hulkster? I got something for you. And boo. Look at these beauties. You usually got to wait about 150 years living beyond the pearly gates to get a big pair of angels wigs like these.
Peter Neverville
St. Peter said, A big pair because you're obviously huge. Guys are a big pair of wings.
Heavenly Hulkster
Big dude. Exactly. So, yeah, you know, the Hulksters doing pretty damn good being at the big Hogan hangout in the sky. And I would say, you know, we got every single football game on the tv. My big takeaway from last night is, boy, the Dolphins fucking suck. Tua sticks.
Peter Neverville
Are you allowed to say that in heaven?
Heavenly Hulkster
I didn't know that's kind of the thing. Dude, you got. Dude, every one up here, I'm. I'm certified platinum. When I got these wigs in this Halo, brother. Usually, yeah. Obviously there are situations where as. As I was going to say, I better take it easy because the halo starting to slip a little bit.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. You say you dropped an F bomb?
Heavenly Hulkster
Did I y. I apologize, dude. I'm just. I'm just in a great mood, you know, obviously being, you know, around Clearwater Beach. The Dolphins are my team, one of my teams, and it's time to just rebuild the whole thing. So, yeah, it was. It was an okay game. But you. I mean, you know this dude when you're in Hogan's Hangout, especially the one behind the pearly gates, once this game got poopy like you mentioned. See, I got meatloaf coming in. I got Ozzy Osbourne coming in. You think I would rather listen to those guys. Congrats, Fred, on some action.
Peter Neverville
That's huge news.
Heavenly Hulkster
Sorry, I apologize. Some of this stuff may seem to be breaking news. Just nerd. Monday night at Hoags. Hang out sky for me, dude. Great football game, though.
Peter Neverville
It was great football game for the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson is back. Harry Potter, your thoughts on the game last night and how it compares to, I guess, what's the sport?
Heavenly Hulkster
Quidditch.
Harry Potter
All I could really think is, Lamar Jackson would have been wonderful in the Quidditch broom. Truly, I'm a little emotional just being next to the huckster. I'm so happy to see him.
Heavenly Hulkster
I can't believe that he's in heaven and he got his wings already.
Peter Neverville
Okay, Harry, remind me, because I'm a huge fan of what you do. The wizardry stuff.
Dan Orlovsky
You do.
Peter Neverville
So cool.
Harry Potter
Thank you.
Peter Neverville
I mostly watch sports more than you and I know more than you about it because of that. So I certainly have that particular angle about myself. But for some of us that maybe haven't seen a lot of Harry Potter. What country does Harry Potter hail from?
Harry Potter
Well, yeah, I'm a bit of a British bloke. I'm kind of trying to find the accent here. Going into Luke Littler a little bit. Trying to kind of think of the Scousers a little bit.
Peter Neverville
Okay.
Harry Potter
Liverpool, yes. An English lad, if you will, But I fancied the football last time.
Peter Neverville
What is your move? You're a wizard.
Coach Bill Coward
You're a wizard.
Peter Neverville
Like what Lamar Jackson's able to do outside the ball.
Harry Potter
Exactly. I'm just like Lamar, a little bit of one of, if you will. It was a fantastic football game. I'm very happy for Gumps to have his GM finally fired. I know he is excited about that. And I liked what I saw out of young Mike McDaniel. I thought he was quite a lively chap on the sidelines. It was much different than we usually saw. And I wonder if his team hates his guts even more because he was yelling at him.
Peter Neverville
Okay, so you're saying maybe a little bit different than what we had been like on the sideline. Anytime the locker room sees you change the way you act, that means, oh, not working. You don't even believe in the stuff that was happening and the people that can tell if it's real or if it's fake. And to be honest, McDaniel might be fed up, and that might be why he starts getting a little bit more lively on the sideline. And then there's going to be people that say, is he a little bit more accountability driven as he understands that his days might be numbered at this point as a Miami Dolphins head Coach, there's only 32 head coaches in the NFL. This is one of the jobs. Now, Miami, are you ever going to be able to win in the NFL? Since my time covering this thing. Dan.
Heavenly Hulkster
Maria, what are you doing? Good morning.
Peter Neverville
You go back to 72, obviously, Al was there. I was 18 whenever that was taking place. And I saw that team go undefeated. And I thought, wow, this city, this weather, this team, this is going to be what it's going to be like forever. What I didn't realize was there comes a lot of distractions with that city, that weather, that situation. And I think in football it takes a lot of people. Okay. It takes a lot of people to really be all going in the Same direction. I think it's going to be very difficult for the Miami Dolphins to win strictly because of how awesome that entire area is down there for everything but football. I think that is a real, a real thing to talk about as a young or old sports media person like I am Peter Neverville. But on that note, that offense, that team, they were supposed to win, it's kind of all gone to hell. And now McDaniel's chewing people out on the sideline. Let's go to our coach for today. Let's go. Super bowl champion Yinzer legend, coach Bill Cower. Coach now. Coach, great to see you.
Florida Man
Thank you, boys.
Peter Neverville
Coach, you saw a little fire out of McDaniel last night. Did you? Were you impressed or what were your thoughts on last night's game?
Florida Man
Tell you what, I am a Super bowl winning coach. 15 years for the black and the gold hall of Fame. Let's not forget about that. You can read about that in my book Heart and Steel.
Peter Neverville
Okay. You kind of got a little Dr. Phil book selling ability.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah.
Florida Man
Situation pretty good. You know, if you know anything about me, I don't love the cut of Mike McDaniel jib with all those things flapping around his shoes and whatnot. And the, the cor. Is he wearing corduroys? What do you call those?
Peter Neverville
Joggers?
Florida Man
Joggers. Didn't love those. He just didn't have what it took last night. Neither did Tua. Tua looked like New O' Donnell throwing them two interceptions in 1995 Super Bowl. On the other side though, Lamar Jackson looked like a young slash, a young Cordell Stewart running around there. It was a very impressive. And yes, the Ravens are fully back and they are going to win the AFC North.
Peter Neverville
Man, Cordell Stewart, 10 years. Maybe before his time. Yes, maybe before his time. It would have been spectacular.
Florida Man
Oh my God.
Peter Neverville
You're talking about punt return, wide receiver, quarterback, play safety if you need it. Guy was unbelievable. And when 10 was on the field, every play was alive. Feels like that with Lamar Jackson. Let's go to longtime sports and weather reporter for your local news. He's on your side, ladies and gentlemen. Edgar Sampson here.
Heavenly Hulkster
Brother.
Peter Neverville
How you doing, Edward?
Edward Simpson
My name is Edward Simpson. No relation to OJ but yes. Thank you, Pat.
Peter Neverville
Oh, I thought it was Edgar Sampson.
Edward Simpson
No, Edward Simpson.
Peter Neverville
You got very close, but no relation.
Edward Simpson
Zero relation to OJ you think when.
Peter Neverville
People see you they would think immediately. You know what that might be the.
Edward Simpson
Juices, something if they see me running, run a couple of routes or maybe take a handoff. They do think that got the same jaw.
Peter Neverville
I like your pizzazz. I like. Yeah, they do kind of have a similar jaw and strength. There is a glaring difference. But there is maybe, you know, I see it. Yeah.
Heavenly Hulkster
The difference. I'm saying you look like the Juice dude.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. And he's. He's in heaven. Remember that.
Harry Potter
Yeah.
Heavenly Hulkster
You see the Juice. You see the Juice up there with.
Peter Neverville
Your liar Edward Simpson. Let's go back to what you were talking about. No relation. What did you see from Baltimore maybe on the defensive side that makes you think they could go on a run and are warranted of being the AFC north favorites to win the division?
Edward Simpson
Well, I think Chuck Pagan, you know, think about it. Chuck Pagan, he's got them figured out. Kyle Hamilton playing all over the place. You see him moving around offense really can't get a beat on where he ever will be. He can blitz, he can cover, he can play in the box like he's a linebacker. I think they're. I think they're looking pretty good now. You might say, hey, this Dolphins offense may not be the best offense in the league, but hey, you still turn the ball over. You still played well and got a win on Thursday night.
Peter Neverville
So they obviously. This fourth and two call, we're going to keep playing it just because what happened. Chris Greer might have called this play, Don. Might have been why it happened. Schefter has reported that McDaniel is going to remain the head coach for the rest of the season. That announcement was made alongside the Greer firing a general manager. I'll tell you what, hot dog. What happened last night. Lamar Jackson goes down to Miami and maybe saves this city. You know, maybe changes the future of the Dolphins. Let's go to the back room. Old Florida man back there. Florida man. Old gambling look like partially dice player. Maybe corrupt. Is that Carl Havoc? It does appear to be. Take this thing off. What are your thoughts on the Miami Dolphins State currently brother Chris Greer obviously let go from the Miami Dolphins effective immediately, which we don't know what that means. And McDaniel to be the head coach for the rest of the year. And Lamar Jackson and Baltimore Ravens get back on track against your guys's team. How do you currently feel? Old Florida man Chris Greer definitely had to go.
Florida Man
It was a massive mistake.
Heavenly Hulkster
He was there way too long.
Peter Neverville
As for the how they played, the.
Florida Man
Defense played really well and the offense has been shite.
Peter Neverville
And that is the problem when two.
Heavenly Hulkster
Is making the most money out of anybody.
Peter Neverville
You talk about shite. What's right next to you? There I see some big old butt cheeks on top of somebody's head. What's going on back there, sir?
Heavenly Hulkster
E A G L E S Eagles. Go Birds. Push that, tush. Push that.
Peter Neverville
Those are ash cheeks. Okay, so that's, that's what we thought we were seeing there.
Harry Potter
That's little Nicky.
Peter Neverville
Those are ass cheeks on your head right there.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, my favorite playing football is a tosh push. Nobody can stop it. Nobody can beat it. The Giants can't stop it. The refs can't stop it.
Harry Potter
What?
Heavenly Hulkster
And you, Goodell, you can't stop it. We're the best team in football. Go Birds.
Peter Neverville
Okay, so in front of you, I see one of the teams you called out. I see the shirt you're wearing too. The thing. Thanks. Giant shirt with Saquon doing the whoopi woo over a guy.
Florida Man
The Lions running backs are on his head.
Peter Neverville
What's that? No, remember, easy. They're not ass in cheeks anymore, coach.
Florida Man
Oh, I forgot. You're right.
Peter Neverville
That was week one. That was just week one.
Florida Man
Sorry.
Peter Neverville
Now all of a sudden they're MVP candidates now. That's what they got going on. So they're the opposite of what's on that man's head back there, that particular John back there. But right in front of him is massive Giants legend in the making and superstar, I do believe. Jackson Dart. How's it feel about a man with ash cheeks on his head being able to dunk on you rightfully?
Heavenly Hulkster
What up, coach? Yeah, I'm Mormon Dog, so I don't know much about pushing tushes, but I just hate losing my boy. Scat. We're gonna miss him, dog, but gotta get back in the win call for real, man.
Peter Neverville
Hey, Jackson, can you look at the camera so we can make sure everybody understands the accessorizing that was taking place here? We got multiple chains on too here. Jackson dolly.
Heavenly Hulkster
Oh, yeah, dude.
Peter Neverville
I got the drip dog. Four and six in the trail. Hey, Ed Simpson. That is something that, that is going to be able to happen for seemingly the next 10 years with Jackson Dart. Feels like he's actually going to be their franchise guy next. Doesn't it feel that way?
Edward Simpson
Yeah, they found their guy. I don't know if he would appreciate the representation that Bruce is giving of Jackson Dart, though.
Peter Neverville
What do you think? Well, I guess you're Edward Simpson, so you're not impersonating anybody. But if you. Do you think. Actually you kind of are. Do you think whoever you are drawing inspiration from right now is. Is feeling disrespected by how you're all.
Edward Simpson
There may be a few people that think I am targeting them, but no, I'm. It's a conglomerate of a bunch of people that I have. You know, that I am.
Heavenly Hulkster
I gu.
Peter Neverville
Inspo from all over the place. That's what you do whenever you've been around as long as I have, Peter. Never.
Edward Simpson
Yeah, me too. I've been around not quite as long as you, but, you know, a few years.
Florida Man
Wait, who are you again?
Edward Simpson
Me?
Florida Man
Yeah.
Edward Simpson
Edward Simpson.
Florida Man
I thought you were Ellen DeGeneres.
Harry Potter
Oh.
Peter Neverville
Actually, you know what?
Edward Simpson
I see where you're going with that.
Peter Neverville
Yeah.
Harry Potter
She lives in my neighborhood.
Peter Neverville
These are. That's what I. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Harry Potter
We hate her over there, too.
Peter Neverville
No, no, no. She. Obviously, yeah. A lot of heat on the way out with the Internet, for sure. I mean, the run she had, though, with that show. Just think about as people that do daily shows here. The run that she had on that thing was outrageous. I mean, it was like the blueprint for what shows were. And then that all kind of just really quick.
Harry Potter
You've outlasted her, Peter.
Peter Neverville
No, no, I've not. She was. Yeah, I guess. Peter. Neverville has. But remember, I'm yelling into a microphone in a. In a small. Me and ever Simpson doing the same thing. We've been around a long, long time in this business. We don't like what's happening nationally, I'll tell you that. Do we?
Edward Simpson
Not at all.
Harry Potter
It's a bloody mess.
Peter Neverville
Let me don't get into the real details of things. For instance, easy conversation. Michael Jordan's the best of all time. That's why I'm wearing these, bro. Look at his shoes. You think I'm old, then boom. I'm wearing 23s. Yeah. Look at the shoes. I'm cool.
Edward Simpson
Young kids relate to that.
Florida Man
Yeah, yeah.
Peter Neverville
I'm Jordan, though. Go ahead.
Heavenly Hulkster
What debate moron tear does for. Dude.
Edward Simpson
See, I would take Michael Jordan in that debate. You know that.
Heavenly Hulkster
Who would.
Peter Neverville
You're right. That is how this would go. That is exactly how this would go. And that's why these young kids that do TV and stuff have no idea what they're doing.
Edward Simpson
No clue.
Peter Neverville
We did that for what. I mean, they're talking about. Talking about other sports. Yeah, right.
Edward Simpson
Imagine them working a green screen. They could never work a green screen like me and you can.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, that's right. And having to look off camera.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yep.
Peter Neverville
There's a screen over here. And it's like you're in a mirror, you know, like. And you. You know, you. These youngs can't handle that. They can't handle that at all. And why do they even watch these other sports, Braun? Jordan can carry the first hour easily, huh? On every show. What are we even talking about? And then guess what? What did Dallas Cowboys do? We'll tell you. Jerry Jones, okay, went on the record and said, hey, listen, it's hard to really care right now about what's going on on the gridiron, okay? I love my Cowboys. Everybody knows I love my Cowboys. There's a hundred billion dollar present value with gas out there. Little honey hole. We got something special. That's why I'm talking to you on telephone rather than trying to fix our defense with the Dallas Cowboys. You know, I actually invested $1 billion in a rig to be able to get three miles deep into what could potentially be a honey pot of natural gas. Now, you might not understand anything I'm saying right there, but when we're talking scratch offs, especially in the oil game, if you do recall, I had one beautiful ol rig that soon as she penetrated this lovely earth that we have, that thing went down there and started coughing like any mammal would. And then that thing started spewing oil and all of a sudden, 100 million dollar drill. And I said, Jerry, holy shit, you bought the Dallas Cowboys. That's all you need. You just need one of these things to really go ham. Well, Jerry Jones looking to do it again. Jerry Jones put $1 billion in one of these rigs. I need to get three miles down there. They're a little bit worried about how hot it's going to be. So I need to go ahead and invest in this piping because all the older piping that's trying to get the natural gas, they can get the excerpts of this honey hole, but I can get right to the heart of it if I can get down there three miles.
Harry Potter
So.
Peter Neverville
So right now we're talking about that because I'm trying to figure out how the hell to get to the ground. You know, they say if you keep digging, you'll get to China. That's what I'm trying to do right now. But before China, $100 billion in natural cost. That's what he said to Wall Street Journal. Now, in a nutshell, if we read the article right, Jackson dart. Is that not basically what was said in there? In a nutshell?
Heavenly Hulkster
Exactly, Coach.
Peter Neverville
Okay, thank you, Jackson. Thank you, Jackson. We have some gas dealers information in the building, but that is what Jerry was talking about. So in his world, if you look at how he started his Money Just in general, it was literally a one rig, a drill that went down, got him $100 million. He's got the Cowboys. He was in debt big time. Jerry Jones has always been a roll of the dice, scratch off guy. And right now in his head there's $100 billion right beneath our feet here. So you're telling me there's $100 billion down there. Why haven't we gone? It's too deep for who? Says Jerry. And that is what he is focused on at this exact moment. Because if not him, you don't think Elon's about to find a little shovel that can get down there and figure that whole thing. That guy can go to Mars. He can sure as hell get down there if he has to, is what Jerry Jones thinks. I gotta beat him there if he's worth a hundred billion dollars. Now, you can spin it if you're Jerry Jones and if I got $100 billion, the Dallas Cowboys are only going to get better. They're only going to get better and better. But what Dak Prescott had to say about it was this, right.
Edward Simpson
You read the comment and being honest with you, I don't know the full context of it. I do know that a piece of it.
Peter Neverville
But being a fan and you just.
Harry Potter
Read that or hear that.
Edward Simpson
Yeah, of course.
Harry Potter
Especially right.
Edward Simpson
As many fans are and do and thankful that they do live and breathe.
Harry Potter
By this team and they feel like.
Peter Neverville
Their jobs are, you know what I.
Edward Simpson
Mean, putting all their effort into this.
Harry Potter
So yeah, that could definitely be frustrating.
Edward Simpson
But in that sense I would just.
Peter Neverville
Say like the guy's never really lied.
Edward Simpson
About who he is or what he's trying to do. And I think right there he's just.
Harry Potter
I mean, hopefully he was talking about.
Peter Neverville
In that one particular moment, you know.
Edward Simpson
Maybe in those five minutes this is what he was alluding to. And having a chance at 100 billion dollar opportunity.
Harry Potter
I think he might take five minutes.
Peter Neverville
As well and go and go answer a call.
Edward Simpson
So hopefully that's what he means.
Peter Neverville
Right.
Edward Simpson
And. But I can see I can be frustrated once again. For us as players, we control, we can control. That doesn't pertain to us right now.
Peter Neverville
Our job is to make sure that.
Edward Simpson
We'Re getting ready for Monday night and going to be the best team that we can when we go out and play the Cardinals.
Peter Neverville
Have you ever watched Shark Tank? These billionaires invest in a lot of different companies that call for their time. This is Jerry Jones. He's a billionaire, he's a businessman. He's going to have other Obligations in moments, in fleeting times. But throughout his entire life, all he cares about is a star is basically what Dak Prescott says. There's. I think that's an accurate descriptor of the situation. But Cowboys fans don't want to hear that right now. Whenever their team is potentially ass cheeks on the defensive side after a massive trade takes place of Michael Parsons going to Green Bay packers and him living up to every expectation that everybody thought he was going to be this year. Ed.
Edward Simpson
Well, the problem is, don't Cowboys fans usually argue that Jerry is too involved, that he's in there and he's always like hoarding, you know, he has his own pressure.
Peter Neverville
He does all this.
Edward Simpson
But what I'm saying, think about it. Jerry's around, he has his own press conferences. No other owners do that. I thought they'd be happy that Jerry's taking some time away from the facility.
Peter Neverville
Hey, is that a dish rag in your pocket?
Edward Simpson
I did find this on the ice maker before I showed, right before the show.
Peter Neverville
Yes.
Edward Simpson
I knew I needed a little pizzazz.
Peter Neverville
You do got good flair, Ed. I think when people think about Ed Simpson, no relation, they think, wow, that guy's got good pizzazz and good sports takes. That's a good call. Heavenly Hulk, sir. I didn't even think about that. Jerry's basically saying $100 billion down here. Have you ever seen, do you know what you could buy with $100? That's what. Derek.
Edward Simpson
Renovate the stadium again.
Peter Neverville
You know how many brand new stadium I can own? 5 of the teams here now.
Heavenly Hulkster
Exactly.
Peter Neverville
All of a sudden I own five NFL teams. That's where I'm at. I'm at elite status, okay. I'm renting out Rome for my wedding, okay? That's what I'm doing at that stage of this entire thing. Jerry saying, hell, I'm like, I'll around go to space like all these other guys that are worth all this amount. That is what Jerry's thinking. And then he's also saying on the other side, they got a little baby Jerry down there and Steven down there and you got shoddy and the boys down there. I got to take care of this. At the moment, the boys are doing just fine, but everybody wants him to change his title, right? Well, if you're not going to do that, then you're not the general manager of the team. So if you're going to be the general manager, then, you know, we at least in the middle of the season need you to act like you're focused on the football team. Do you think that's a big problem? Heavenly Hulkster, as you look down from.
Heavenly Hulkster
Above, my 2 cents would be the Cowboys fans. Shut up, dude. Okay? It's been the same thing for the last 20 years. Listen, Jerry's an oil man, okay? You don't just wake up one more and say, you know what? I don't want to do anymore. Cowboys are worth $10 billion. He's potentially sitting on $100 billion. Yeah. Okay, I think I know where he's going. Reminds me a lot of story back when I was in wcw. You know, you got the Hulkster, who's obviously the biggest earner there is on the planet. And you got Eric Bischoff and Ted Turner coming to me saying, holster, we need you to, you know, take some of that money. Maybe funnel it to guys like Dibalanco, you know, maybe elevate the rest of the world. Exactly. Made of a thousand holes. Everybody knows him. Everybody loves him. Holster was gonna do that.
Peter Neverville
You don't know that's true, do you? I guess you do.
Heavenly Hulkster
Believe me, brother, I do know that's true. And the reason is because Hulkster puts butts in seats. Okay? So the point being, all these people could say all this mumbo jumbo. Dude, excited. Or they want. Dude, you tell me. AT&T Stadium is going to be packed full on Sunday to watch their beloved Dallas Cowboys. It will be. See bitch and moan all you want. Jerry ain't changing a damn thing, brother.
Peter Neverville
Well, and Harry, that's a good point. Actually. I saw Jerry acting this offseason. Why wasn't he studying tape when he did that? Why wasn't Coach Cower. You know what I mean? Why wasn't he doing that?
Florida Man
I'm always in the lab studying, studying tape. So that's not something that registers in my mind. All I did was leave live, eat and breathe, football. So that's not something that I could.
Peter Neverville
Ever just register with. Now let's coach Coward. Let's go to your world. Harry Potter acting. How much time did that take for Jared? Because what if he is focused on acting and nailing a scene? Maybe the best any cameo actor has ever done in the history.
Heavenly Hulkster
Try to win an Emmy, dude, probably.
Peter Neverville
Win some sort of an award for what he did there. And also maybe finding an oil rig that can get $100 billion. But the acting world, why was he focused on that, you think? Is he maybe distracted too much to be focus on the general manager duties?
Harry Potter
Harry, when it comes to someone like Jerry, it's a bit of a conundrum. Just cause he's a man that can't be tied down to one thing. I know Dallas Cowboys are very similar to, you know, Victor Crumb fan, if you will.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yes, sir.
Peter Neverville
Harry, it's very hard to speak like.
Heavenly Hulkster
That, of course, but.
Harry Potter
Yeah, sorry. Jerry Jones is Jerry Jones. He doesn't give a shit what anybody says.
Heavenly Hulkster
And guess what?
Harry Potter
He's gone. He's gonna find that 100. Excuse me.
Coach Bill Coward
There we go.
Harry Potter
He gonna find his hundred million in it. 100 billion in it.
Peter Neverville
That's a little different. If it was 100 million, I don't think people would care. 100 billion is like one of those hilarious fairy tale. Yeah, yeah, that's out there. You're telling me three miles down there's a hundred billion dollars? He probably started kicking. How do I. Can I. Where's my shovel? Can I. Why haven't we started? What are you talking about? Can't get there. Also closer you get to the center, allegedly a horror it gets. You know those volcanoes that we see go off? That's where they're coming from. They're coming from down there. So how are you gonna be able to get to the natural gas whenever you got all that heat down there from the volcano. And Jerry's like, I just a billion dollar. I can get these pops to be able to handle it. Yeah, there'll be cowboys, pops. They'll be able to handle it.
Florida Man
Star on every.
Harry Potter
Could have paid Michael.
Peter Neverville
Micah is his name. You heard Jerry talk about him, I believe is what you're directly referring to. But it's all in the title, I think. Think, Ed. Honestly, I believe it's all in the title that Jerry Jones has, in which he is, you know, the general manager, acting and president. And that first 27 minutes of this show was brought to you by Door Dash.
Edward Simpson
Hell yeah.
Peter Neverville
Now this Door Dash is certainly something, is it not, Ed?
Edward Simpson
It's the best. Why do you think this little guy Smurf has the piece of pizza in his hand?
Peter Neverville
Well, that's right, Ed. I don't think it's a Smurf. I think it could potentially be. And I don't know if they paid for the rights for the duck, but it appears as if that is potentially a duck hand, if I had to guess, holding a slice of pizza in a very interesting way. You know, this particular mascot animal doesn't know properly how to hold a piece of pizza, I think. So just kind of went with whatever they could because they knew. Wow, I can't believe this pizza just got delivered to my house. As Easily and as efficiently as it did. And they just grabbed that thing out of the box and said, gave me that thing. And Hulkster, you understand whenever a slice looks that nice, you just kind of grab however you can.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, without a doubt. You gotta remember, dude, I mean, if you're getting this from doordash, you know, it's coming from the place. And there's a good chance there's piping hot grease on the other side. On the other carriage of that slice of za. You burn your hand, dude.
Peter Neverville
Harry, right now, Harry kind of looks like he's got a good handle on that thing right now.
Heavenly Hulkster
Oh, wow.
Harry Potter
His piece of piece is massive.
Peter Neverville
It is. You got. You kind of look like you got a little baby hands with how big that pizza is. But I can get pizza and listen to this. Anything else?
Heavenly Hulkster
What's he kidding me?
Peter Neverville
Dude, you need the other?
Florida Man
Sure.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
Oh, you need something. Shave your face. You need clothes, because you look like an asshole.
Nick Saban
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
Not that that would ever happen to any of us.
Heavenly Hulkster
No. Nope.
Peter Neverville
Never. Doordash got your back. I was in a place, I forget where it was. Open door dash. There was, like, three options. I was like, wow, we're really fucking out here. You don't even have to do, like, the Google Maps thing. You know your way out there. Anything that is in 40 minutes of view, 30 minutes of view available on DoorDash. Basically, at this stage on doordash, I will say there are some prices that you're paying for some things just for convenience that you look at it and you go, I can't be doing that.
Edward Simpson
That every day.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, I can't be doing that every day. But, boy, it's nice to be sitting at home in PF. Chang shows up. Oh, my God. 7:40. Don't even have to leave the house. Let me go ahead and dive right on in here to Chang spicy chicken. We appreciate that. Shout out to doordash. And shout to sports fans everywhere who can order doordash or use doordash on game day. Sooner than.
Harry Potter
Yeah.
Heavenly Hulkster
Hell yeah, brother.
Peter Neverville
Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who is the face of sports conversation, which kind of what we hate about Ed. I don't want to. I don't want to, like, kind of throw any direct shots.
Edward Simpson
I don't hate anybody in the sports industry.
Peter Neverville
Ed does it.
Edward Simpson
No, Ed does not just call my way to the top.
Peter Neverville
How. Yeah, okay. To all the way to the top. Ed's trying to get all the way to the top.
Edward Simpson
I might be in Tucson by next year.
Peter Neverville
Where are you at right now.
Edward Simpson
Do you know Texarkana?
Peter Neverville
Okay, Texarkana. I've been hearing about Arkansas because I guess there's a D3 football game that has a big rivalry game next weekend.
Nick Saban
Oh, yeah?
Peter Neverville
Yeah. Stadiums are like three minutes away from each other. Interesting.
Harry Potter
You should go division tree.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, Division three game. Because Division three, Harry.
Heavenly Hulkster
It's a good point. Harry's. A lot of good games next week. We don't need to be burning up a bunch of jet fuel. Go to Arkansas for some D3 game, brother.
Peter Neverville
What have you heard? You know nothing about this, obviously.
Heavenly Hulkster
Goddamn right. And it's bliss.
Edward Simpson
Can't say that.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah. How many times do I got to tell you guys? Dude?
Harry Potter
Boom.
Heavenly Hulkster
Okay. Make the get out of jail free card wherever you go, brother.
Peter Neverville
Are those wings gonna take you down to that D3 rivalry game? Maybe.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, maybe if St. Peter's joking around, we're, you know, wrestling or something and eclipse them and I fall out of the sky and land there. Sure, baby. Outside of that. Come on, dude. Only place I'm gonna be is a beach and Clearwater, you know, right in front of Hogan's Hangout. Clearwater Beach.
Peter Neverville
Oh, yeah, of course, dude.
Harry Potter
You could do one of your clouds like you did a few months back.
Heavenly Hulkster
Was it gibberish? This little guy saying, I can't understand a damn thing that's coming out of his mouth, brother.
Peter Neverville
Joining us now, that's Harry Potter I saw.
Heavenly Hulkster
I've heard. I told him, you know his buddy, Albus Dumbledore. He's sweet, dude. You know, I asked him if he wanted to come train with the Hulkster. You know, he didn't like it when the Hulkster started and smack him around and get a bit. Give me a couple atomic leg drops. Apparently those British folks don't love that. You slapped Albus real hard, dude. Couple chops and then hit it with the.
Peter Neverville
I'm joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, the face of modern sports media, Emmy award winning Dan Orlovsky. Bartman. What up, work?
Dan Orlovsky
What's going on?
Peter Neverville
I think this is a good decision.
Harry Potter
Probably should cut a hole.
Peter Neverville
I think. I think it was a good decision. Do you feel good about it or no?
Dan Orlovsky
Did you guys hear me?
Peter Neverville
Yeah, it's just kind of echoed, you know, But I think natural mask stuff. We had it with Florida man in the back as well.
Florida Man
Good enough.
Peter Neverville
It's part of Halloween. It's kind of Halloween football. We can hear you. You look amazing and we appreciate you joining us.
Florida Man
Bartlett, screenshot.
Peter Neverville
What's your big takeaway from last night's? Game. Lamar Jackson back and filthy. Is that the convers? A couple of those throws were obviously elite. Highest QBR at one point. I don't know if that's still the stat. I apologize for not looking that up right before we go live. But he is just unbelievable through the sky and then obviously being able to run. Bart, what did you see from the Ravens in Lamar last night that maybe make you think this team can go on a run and maybe win the AFC North?
Dan Orlovsky
And the offense was fine, you know, in the play action pass game. That's kind of their bread and butter right now. Throwing the ball. That was really good. That's kind of who they are at their best when it comes to the pass game. Certainly the run game got going a little bit in the fourth quarter. I don't think that they dominated at the line of scrimmage running the football, but Lamar looked relatively sharp when it comes to not having played for a month. So, like, offensively I thought they were fine. Wrinkles kind of smooth throughout the course of the game. And they did some good stuff. He made some really nice throws versus main covers.
Peter Neverville
Bart, that's a pretty good breakdown, bro. Bart, that's pretty good breakdown. Yeah.
Dan Orlovsky
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
Thank you.
Dan Orlovsky
My big takeaway is how good the defense look. You know, the defense in the last three games has given up 13 a game. Bringing Kyle back to the football explained the nickel much better against the run. Took the ball away. Gilman's been an outstanding addition. Just because Gilman and I was quiet to go closer to the football and is big enough to handle the run. He's athletic enough to play against any type of boss. Malachi Sturks, I thought, had a fantastic game. Just when it comes to running to the football, playing with discipline. Discipline. And then I think their defensive line for the most part played a way more consistent game, run defense wise. So, yeah, the offense for Lamar, playing for the first time in about a month, was good. The big takeaway is how impressive the defense has been in the last three or four games. That's kind of what gives me the biggest encouragement. This defense continues to play this way. This offense was historically great last year. They'll be fine.
Peter Neverville
Okay, Bart. Bart knows ball.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, he does. That's part of it.
Peter Neverville
13 a game the last three games for that defense that was ass and cheeks like the tush push just a few weeks back, which we were all very worried about with, you know, the Baltimore Ravens, everybody, sportsbooks had them as the favorite to win the AFC north even when they didn't look good and when Lamar was hurt and obviously their record at this exact exact moment is 3 and 5. I just want to make sure I had that right. And they're still the favorite to win the AFC North. It's like everybody believes that this Ravens team can be great just because we all know who's on that team. We just hadn't seen it for a while and now all of a sudden it's like, let's get the Miami Dolphins in prime time. Lamar's return, he's going to go absolutely insane. And on the other side, they're going to fire the general manager. Your thoughts, Bart, on Chris Greer since 2016. Kind of his era ending in this entire thing.
Dan Orlovsky
Thing, yeah. This is the move that felt most likely for Miami. One, the roster is not good enough. If you look at his drafts, Chris Greer, I think since like 2021, I think there's like five starters or six starters that have come from their first three round picks. So you're talking 15, 20 picks that are made right around there. There are only six guys have become starters. It just hasn't panned out health wise or development wise. I never thought that Mike McDaniel, at least right now, was that kind of on the hot seat. I knew results matter. Yes. Two years ago, just about this time, this was the number one seed in football. They were playing home versus the Titans on Monday night to kind of lock up AFC east in almost the number one seed. We lose that game in that ridiculous comeback in the fourth quarter. It's kind of gone downhill since then. That's kind of like, I don't think Mike McDaniel forgot how to coach or believe that Tua, who is at that point an MVP candidate, forgot how to play. So this for Miami, the biggest kind of issue is that the talent isn't really equal to the echelon AFC teams. I think the next step, Jalen Wall, I would entertain trading him if I could get good value. Jalen Phillips and Bradley Chubb, I would very much so entertain both trading both of those guys if I get fair value.
Peter Neverville
Just as we're talking about it here, they trade Jalen Ramsey and they trade John Hugh Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason preseason. What were the expectations for this Dolphins team like? And now we're talking about them trading away all their other best players. I'm very fascinated on what was supposed to happen this year. And let's go to one half of the hammer. Don Cowboys, old Florida man. Florida man. What were the expectations and was this inevitable? This Was inevitable.
Heavenly Hulkster
We were quietly optimistic.
Florida Man
I mean, Jaylen Waddle's not getting traded. I could see trading Chubb and Phillips.
Peter Neverville
Judah maybe.
Heavenly Hulkster
But Ramsey wanted to go. Not paying Jonu Smith was diabolical. Our only pro bowler wanted to be there.
Peter Neverville
He had to stay. You lose him and it's been a disaster ever since. Smart to start speaking with your hands. I don't think anybody really knew which person back there was speaking. So thank you. Thank you for doing that. Just strictly because you have such a stone face. You too, Bart. You should be pretty animated when you're talking because you know it's just a still shot. Yeah, there you go. That's what we're talking about. By the way, great breakdown by Bart Simpson.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
People are reading the captions going, what is Bart knows ball here.
Heavenly Hulkster
Unbelievable.
Peter Neverville
Bart knows ball here.
Heavenly Hulkster
Keep my shorts, dude.
Peter Neverville
That's Tushbush number one fan back in the back. He's Philly John, obviously. And foxy Hot dog. Dude, you look good. Yeah, I'm a hot dog. I just like to point out that this hot dog has no mustard. Ketchup only. I actually ordered it with mustard and pain over this because everyone's out there. But yeah, let's go ketchup on your hot dog. I like that. Now did you put the. You put the ketchup on top because you had to paint over the mustard that was on the top. Exactly the right move actually. And everybody goes hot dog, a sandwich, yada yada. It's a taco. Okay. And just like any taco, you know, anything that's like movable, you put in the bottom. Then you put stuff on top. You could do that. You definitely put the ketchup at the bottom of the taco. Okay. And then you put the hot dog on top of that. Then you shut that thing. What's that?
Dan Orlovsky
That interesting bottom and the dog.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, you put it at the bottom. Now granted, if you have buns that are kind of ash cheek and they are are separated, don't do that. That is the worst case scenario. The only reason why I don't like going on top is cuz when bite it gets on your face. But if you put it on the bottom, that thing's part of the bite. You know what I'm talking about? You know what I'm saying, Bart?
Dan Orlovsky
I'm into that now. I actually like taking American cheese, a scarab it slicing it or cutting it in half and putting half on each side of the hot dog.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, not a bad play. That's a good play. Did not expect that. I thought you were going to say you eat the cheese slices from the inside out like it's a pizza. Whenever you rip them in half because of some of your other takes. Like Reese's Cups. Like Reese's Cup. What do you do the Reese's Cups again?
Dan Orlovsky
If it's just like a Reese's cup, the traditional one, I take the kind of the perforated shell, I bite it off because it's too much chocolate. There's not a good rat and I don't like milk chocolate, so I just bite it off in time to eat the internal part.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. You put a video of yourself doing that, or somebody else put a video of you doing that. Because that is serial killer behavior, I think. And when people watch you do that, they thought to themselves, we should check this guy. And then I think I said to you immediately afterwards, like, hey, you could just kind of split that in half and then eat that thing like a pizza from the middle.
Heavenly Hulkster
Right?
Dan Orlovsky
You did tell me this. You did tell me this. I haven't done it yet, but now you've reminded me, so I'm going to do that.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. You look like Ace Ventura whenever he sits down. And you need an ashtray whenever he's doing sunflowers seeds with this entire thing.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah.
Florida Man
Feeding the birds.
Peter Neverville
How old are you? Bart?
Dan Orlovsky
I think was 13. I'm 42.
Peter Neverville
You're how 42? Boss grew up 42.
Dan Orlovsky
I just turned 42 this summer.
Peter Neverville
Happy birthday, dude.
Heavenly Hulkster
Happy birthday, brother.
Peter Neverville
Hey, you've been eating Rees like this for probably, what, 32 years? And you never thought once to go from the middle inside out? See, that's what we're talking about with serial kill behavior. And Ryan Clark saw that, him doing that. We're like, other people need to see this. Yeah, other people need to see this is big time problem. Speaking of needing to see this, we need to see a good game. NFL. I'm tired of it. 55 years ago, 1970, okay, this league came together to do something special. I was there when they signed the shit. Okay. First time, 55 years. Last weekend, there was only one game that was decided by single digits. Okay? Only one person are you. I'm just an old sports media person. Person.
Harry Potter
Peter.
Peter Neverville
You see, and I go through waves of who I am.
Heavenly Hulkster
Am I.
Peter Neverville
Am I a conversational respect the young generation guy, or am I? I know more than you because I've been around this place longer than you have. I forgot more about sports than you've ever learned. Yeah, but we're in a Very new stage of life.
Heavenly Hulkster
Don't care.
Peter Neverville
Don't care. I know every life, kid. Your life this big, my life this big. Shut the fuck up. It's hard not to be that guy every time, but I don't want to do that. Okay. Especially because we got Heavenly Hulkster here.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, thank you, dude. Although I do like kind of the best of both worlds there, brother.
Peter Neverville
Well, that's what I'm trying to do. Yeah, I'm kind of in the middle of it because he brought up Jalen Waddle. Let's trade him out of there. And you heard Dolphins fan Florida man in the back yell, oh, okay. Our only cool thing, really. But like, him doing this is like so cool. Like, it is so cool. I'm sure there'd be a lot of team, teams that would Love him. Tuesday, 4pm Eastern Time. Trade deadline for the NFL. This weekend's matchups are going to have a lot of say in what takes place. But on that note of one good game last week and then Thursday becomes another double digit win for a team, there's a game this weekend that's a guaranteed lock. Eddie Simpson. No relation to OJ has a question.
Edward Simpson
Yeah, no relation to Bart either. Bart425 on Sunday, I believe. Chiefs playing the Buffalo Beals. What do you expect from this game? Who do you think is going to win? Are the Chiefs full of the Chiefs again? Are they back and gonna make a run for the Super Bowl?
Dan Orlovsky
Yeah, I mean, the Chiefs are as hot as anybody in football. Hardest team going. I think they're the second best team in the NFL right now behind Detroit.
Peter Neverville
So.
Dan Orlovsky
They put Rasheed and Travis next to each other. It's just a problem right now. Patrick throwing the ball to either of those guys, Rasheed Rice or Travis, he's 52 with 67 for over 600 yards. And those of those 600 yards, 351 of them are yards after the catch. And so if you watch defenses, A.J. you would speak to this. Like when they put those two guys next to each other, it's so hard to defend because you have to have so many eyes on them because they're both in the middle of the field that like they attract so much your attention and then all of a sudden there's Worthy running down the field like uncovered. So how does that happen when the reality is you want to have people.
Peter Neverville
Near them.
Dan Orlovsky
In space, you know, with like Kelsey and you give him space. Do you trust the person that's going to be, quote unquote, near them? Zone or man, you Trust him in space. I think this game comes down to those defensive lines. Defensive line has been very good this year. The Bills just had some moments.
Heavenly Hulkster
Sound like Charlie Brown's parents, dude.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, it's starting to drift out a little bit. I think there's maybe. I don't know if it's when you hit something or make another noise, it drowns out yours in the back. Because these phones are so smart. The phones are so smart. So the phone is trying to listen for voice or sound right now. So whenever you hit your hand, I think it picks up that. As opposed to the bland yellow image that's right behind that that is speaking. So I think you can't be too animated.
Harry Potter
So.
Peter Neverville
So we said earlier, bart, need you to be animated. Animated. Let's not be to it. Let's make sure we're. We're animated in silence. I think that's where we got to be.
Dan Orlovsky
The defensive lines. I think defensive line. Most of these have been underperforming. A lot of hard ways to get Patrick on the ground, but then also, like Kansas City, like, Chris Jones is not played to the level of Chris Jones, but he hasn't been down in Josh. This is a game for me if I'm Josh Allen, it's like I'm holding on to the football. One time, G. See if this defensive line is kind of contain me.
Peter Neverville
We gotta call you back, brother.
Nick Saban
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
Hey, Dan, we got Bart. We gotta call you back. We can't hear what you're saying. You're giving good takes, though, and you look amazing. Bart, we can't hear what you're saying. No, don't do that. Don't do that. All right, we'll call you back. We'll call you back then. We'll call you back. Bart. Sorry.
Heavenly Hulkster
Barto. Barto.
Peter Neverville
We'll call you back.
Florida Man
He comes back with a different.
Peter Neverville
What was he saying? He was saying defensive lines need to be.
Florida Man
Both defensive lines have played poor this year. And so the defensive line. Oh, my God.
Peter Neverville
Oh, my God. He's sweating his ass off. He d. Oh, yeah. I think. I think that's what I look like right now as well. Oh, you have the AirPods in. That was definitely what it was. Yeah, the Don, you fool.
Florida Man
Now you're muted.
Peter Neverville
Now you're muted, I think. Did you mute it? Did we mute you? You. We muted you.
Dan Orlovsky
I can't hear Pat.
Florida Man
There we go.
Peter Neverville
Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now, Donald? I'm not Pat, please. Peter Neverville. Thank you. Have a little respect.
Dan Orlovsky
I hear him.
Peter Neverville
Now, Dan.
Heavenly Hulkster
There we go.
Dan Orlovsky
It wasn't Bart, guys. It was just a mask.
Harry Potter
Oh.
Peter Neverville
Just a mask. Oh, man. Kind of pet.
Dan Orlovsky
I got another costume. All right, here we go.
Edward Simpson
Cool.
Harry Potter
Yes.
Peter Neverville
Taylor, the one a little bit. Sorry for infringement.
Harry Potter
Hasselback back.
Peter Neverville
Well, don't give away the gimmick, brother.
Florida Man
I can't wait.
Peter Neverville
Happy Halloween to everybody.
Edward Simpson
Yeah, it's like a slutty nurse costume.
Heavenly Hulkster
Red. Dude.
Peter Neverville
Wow, that's so cool. Dude, I'm your father, right?
Edward Simpson
What is that?
Harry Potter
No, Han Solo.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, technically that's not the. But same franchise. So, yeah.
Peter Neverville
Oh, it's grandfather, I guess. Father's father. I am your father's father. What it actually is. That looks great. That looks. And let's do a testy. Do a testy father's father.
Dan Orlovsky
Does it sound better?
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
Oh, you sound amazing. Hell, yeah. Thank you for joining us, Mr. Kalo Red. Okay, Hulkster, gonna need to be a little bit.
Harry Potter
Mr. Ren.
Peter Neverville
Mr. Ren. On that. I appreciate the hell out of you, Hulkster. I didn't know you were such a big fan of the Star wars franchise.
Heavenly Hulkster
Oh, yeah, dude, you kidding me? I mean, Harrison Ford was always one of my favorite teams. A big time Hulkamaniac. And that Adam Driver guy who played Kylo Red. It's actually a 4:3, I believe.
Harry Potter
Princess Leia up there with you?
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, she's. She's a sweet gal.
Peter Neverville
That's nice. You Hawks her. Thanks for all this breaking news. Feels like you're really breaking a lot of news.
Heavenly Hulkster
Do what I can, dude.
Peter Neverville
Heavenly Hulkster doing his thing. Okay, so, Mr. Ren, whenever you think about this Chiefs Bills game, if you're going to go back to say everything you were just said that we couldn't really hear, but a much shorter, condensed version. What. What would that exactly be, Mr. Ren?
Dan Orlovsky
Yeah, I think this game comes down to what defensive line plays better than they have this year. Neither defensive line has been great. Buffalo's playing without Ed Oliver. Bosa's brought in. Bosa, you're brought in for a game like this. Vanessa's been okay. Russo's been fine. So, like, they're going to have. At some point in the fourth quarter, Kansas City's going to have that third down, that fourth down. They got to get the Patrick. They got to make sure that Patrick's legs aren't used, and then vice versa. Of Kansas City's defensive line, Chris Jones has not been what Chris Jones has been. Carloftis has been up and down. If I'm Josh Allen this game, I got to score 30 to win. Hold the football. I'm going to make this defensive line chase me down. I'm going to try to create big plays because they can't necessarily in the rhythm of their pass game, whoever defensive line plays better, I think wins the game.
Peter Neverville
I love that. I can't wait to see who does. What did Bengals just do? They. Well, they got a bunch of people asking for a trade. They've had four people request a trade in the last, let's say, four months, if you include Trey Hendrickson most recently, literally, I think yesterday or something like that. So Trey Hendrickson, Logan Wilson, we heard about that last week. McKinley Jackson and then Mike Pinnell, he. He was released and he's back with the Chiefs now. Chris Jones is very pumped about that. There's a lot of people trying to get the hell out of Cincinnati. Now, the narrative is this. A couple of them came shortly after that players only defensive meeting. Now, obviously, if you recall, Lou Annarumo, longtime defensive coordinator for the Bengals, is now defensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts. This is all on the defensive side of the ball, kind of this entire thing was Lou holding the entire place together. Like, what is your kind of takeaway on what's going on in Cincinnati? And on that note, we would like to say to the Cincinnati Bengals fans, we're sorry this is all happening to you guys, but this is a wild scene that this is taking place in an AFC north team that has just spent hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars on building their roster, trying to be in a Super bowl window. That's the only reason why you pay everybody is because you're trying to win a Super Bowl. Now. That's how they feel. Is that a reality going into the season? I don't know. But guys coming out openly in 2025 saying we won't be traded in the middle of season, pretty crazy abnormal, Mr. Ren, I'd say.
Dan Orlovsky
Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think obviously this was a team that was all in when it came to how they went through their offseason season. They thought that Al golden, the new defensive coordinator, would get this defense to play better and some of their young pieces would step up. I think a player like DJ Turner has at the corner position, but the defense still is a very bad unit. Logan Wilson's great. I mean, Trey was the obvious one. Once they started to struggle and Joe went down, he's not signing back there. They don't appreciate him enough. I don't think Logan Wilson's been paid recently. I thought there was some noise about Logan last year. Year Wanting a new contract. I don't know if he got it or not. Logan Wilson is a really good linebacker. I would fully expect if they can get good value to move on from him. If I was a team like the Dallas Cowboys, I would be calling about Logan Wilson. It's crazy that within the last year it's gone from. My gosh, this is a historical offense. Joe goes unbelievable. If they could just get better, they'll get back in the super bowl race. And now it's like, very dire future, it looks like, as of right now in Cincinnati.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, obviously not great. Whenever people are trying to get their ass out of there and willing to take a public hit, you know, because anytime a player comes out and says, I would like to be traded, he is also admitting that it's not working, right? So there's two people that are part of a relationship. So anytime anybody comes out negatively about each other, it's like, hey, we're both admitting fault here. At least I am. This is not working. I would like something new. Let's go to Cincinnati Bengal alumni. Maybe ruler of the jungle someday. And a man who grew up as a Cincinnati Bengal fan, Edward Simpson. Your thought on the amount of players wanting out of Cincinnati and what does that say to you, brother?
Edward Simpson
Well, I mean, I don't. I think with. When Logan Wilson, he was, you know, made some young kids step up and started playing well. So they were. He was getting much reduced role. I guess the other guys in Mike Pinella, you saw how happy they were to get him back in Kansas City. I played with Mike in Green Bay, actually. Or I should say the. The person who. The guy AJ who used to be me. I don't even know. I'm kind of like Inception.
Florida Man
You're dude playing a dude disguised as another.
Edward Simpson
Edward Simpson did not.
Peter Neverville
Edward Simpson can fly.
Edward Simpson
Edward Simpson played 1948. That was a long time ago, I think. You know, you were right after you.
Peter Neverville
No, yeah, Yeah, I actually. You had my shoulder. We were wearing those leather.
Edward Simpson
I wore your shoulder pads.
Peter Neverville
You wore my leather helmet.
Edward Simpson
Yes, yes. It was like springy inside.
Peter Neverville
Look what we did for sports.
Edward Simpson
We did a lot for sports.
Peter Neverville
But the Bengals are dead.
Edward Simpson
No, I do not think the Bengals are dead. Dan or Dano or Mr. Ren. Is that right? Kylo, do you believe?
Peter Neverville
Okay.
Edward Simpson
What do the Bengals look like next year, Mr. Ren? Like, what's the record? Obviously, let's assume Joe Burrow's back. Joe Burrow's back. What do they look like? Can they stop somebody next year? Defensively?
Dan Orlovsky
Yeah, I think to be honest with you, I think the number one question is, is, is Zach Taylor the coach? Fair question to ask given what's kind of transpired over the last year or two. I think Zach Taylor is a really good coach. It's been a while now in Cincinnati. Joe hasn't been able to stay healthy. So I think it's fair to say the scheme that is deployed, it's allowed for a ton of success. Has it also been a part of, you know, Joe being a little bit more exposed to some hits? They're going to have to get a significantly better performing offensive line. The defense still can't tackle, so the defense has got to get much better at some of the basic fundamental stuff. So how does that happen? So who is Cincinnati next year? I think that it starts with what's the plan at coach and then Zach Taylor. They're going to have to, I think, philosophically change at least the way they approach football and how they want to play it. They could still be ridiculous offensively. They got to protect them much better and they got to play significantly improved football in the back end of their in totality on defense.
Peter Neverville
Okay, it sounds like you're trying to go back to an older version of you there, didn't it? Now, I know in the last year you became good guy and said, you know, I won't be nice, but you used to be absolute killer out there.
Heavenly Hulkster
Absolutely.
Peter Neverville
And now you're saying, what's Zach Taylor looking like next year? That's a good question. Geez. Kylo Ren jeez, they got a lot of season left. Now, obviously Joe Burrow seemingly gets hurt because of what you're talking about with the offensive line. Did they try to address that? Yes. Have they really figured it out? No. And then when they spend money, everywhere, they spend money. Everybody that knows football was like, is that a way, Is that a way to win Super Bowl? We shall see. With the Bengals people asking to be out of there. Now let's talk about a team that did have super bowl aspirations this offseason as they were doing a bunch of stuff that nobody had really ever seen before. Coach Cower has a question for you.
Florida Man
Yeah, we'll start with that. And Kylo, when you say, see, Dan just apologized on all of Pittsburgh. He was right. We were wrong. They stink.
Peter Neverville
Okay.
Florida Man
They should be 0 and 6. The record is a fraud. Anyways, Colts are visiting them this weekend. Is there any chance the Colts don't score 50 points against Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend? I'm going to be there for the celebration of the 20th anniversary, the 2005 Super bowl team. An incredible team, a team that played defense. What do you think? You think how many of the Colts score this weekend?
Peter Neverville
Legends. Legends.
Nick Saban
Yeah.
Dan Orlovsky
I would be surprised if the Colts don't put up at least 35. I think the Colts have one of the most difficult offenses to match up with in the NFL. Here's where I am with Pittsburgh, coach.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah.
Dan Orlovsky
Like number one defensively, you just watch this team play against the run. They're too straight up. And JJ could talk to this better than I can. But like, if from an offensive perspective, if I want to run the ball against Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, I don't think that they play with the proper pad level on a consistent basis to stop the run. They just don't. A little bit is their scheme. I talked to Marcus about this because they're trying to two gap, meaning they hold on to an offensive lineman. They're trying to peek which ways to run, but they're standing up.
Florida Man
Yeah, I know what a two gap run game.
Dan Orlovsky
That's why they're struggling to start the run in totality. And then the backers. The backers see that and they're trying to get into a gap and they'll sometimes get into the wrong gap. The thing that struggles with. Or I. I see what they struggle with, coverage wise, is the this. For a couple years there, it was like they were so simple on defense. Coverage wise, they didn't do anything other than like cover three. Okay. This year it looks like they've tried to change things and they're trying to like, confuse the quarterback in disguise. Here's the thing, though. They. When they do that, they're consistently out of position. They're trying to get so creative and so unique with some of their coverage that they're out of position or this guy's late or you're not getting to the right kind of zone when you do that. AJ Knows this. Like, he was unbelievable on a string almost. And they're not in their defense.
Peter Neverville
All right. There's a lot of stats going on about the defense. What you're saying, probably very valid. All the inserts know is they spent a lot of money back. Back there. And for them to be the problem. Can't happen. Wouldn't happen in 2005 when Bill Cower was chewing people out and spitting on faces. If it wasn't going the right way.
Heavenly Hulkster
No, I would have got on the boys.
Florida Man
PZ would have got on the boys.
Nick Saban
James Fair.
Florida Man
Oh, five one MVP would have gone on them. This would never. Would have had big hams in the middle. Come on, come on.
Peter Neverville

Visit prize picks.com for restrictions and details. Hey fans. Welcome back to Fansville's cheers and tears. Okay, so like everybody deals with losing, right? To a rival and a last second field goal, whatever. It's fine.
Heavenly Hulkster
I'm totally fine.
Peter Neverville
But I cope with losing with an ice cold Dr. Pepper. Mmm. Those 23 flavors are like so delicious.
Heavenly Hulkster
They totally wash away the pain of your college football team taking a big fat L. College football.
Peter Neverville
It's a pepper thing.
Heavenly Hulkster
Football run.
Peter Neverville
That's right. Football, brother, is what we talk about usually. But I'll tell you what the run of NFL games has been. Ass and cheeks like the man behind a glass, the Philly John who's dressed as the Tush Push's biggest fan. That is what football has been. What's sitting on top of that man's head in the back corner. There's an old Florida man right next to him. They got Jackson dart sitting in the front row. Hot dog with ketchup on top as well, as opposed to mustard, is a man who loves the Detroit Lions and loves having a good time. Hot dog's synonymous with good times. Evan Fox. Yeah. Hey man, everyone likes a hot dog. Anytime you eat a hot dog, you're usually at a Ball game. You're usually at a get together, a family event, you name it. You can't go wrong with a nice wiener. Yeah, that's right. Mmm.
Heavenly Hulkster
Why'd you slap Easy, dude.
Peter Neverville
I guess you can guzzle those glizzy wieners down and have the time of your life out there, Hot dog. And a man next to you seems to be no stranger. If I had to just read the vibes. Jackson, Dart you. You a hot dog guy? Feels like you're probably a pretty big hot dog guy.
Heavenly Hulkster
Love a glizzy, coach. Give me, like, four, five, maybe even six, seven.
Peter Neverville
Okay. Yeah, I got it. Yeah, it's very cool you're number six, too. I'm sure you haven't, you know, really utilized that as you should, by the way, Jackson. And I want to let you know, Jackson, I think most of the time, somebody like you becomes puff public, people automatically don't want to like them. The fact that everybody loves you is because you're so damn good at football. You're an absolute beast, dude. And I appreciate the fact that everybody's kind of giving you a chance. I want to let you know that.
Heavenly Hulkster
Hell, yeah. Thanks, Coach.
Peter Neverville
Aren't you perfect for day ball, too? How much you love that guy?
Heavenly Hulkster
Oh, Dave's man. You know, he. He's the best. We just got to get back in the dub. Call him. The losing just kills me.
Peter Neverville
Well, Scatter Boo. Obviously. Happy Halloween. The scatter shirt that Peter Schrager had the other day was off. Awesome. You know, kind of honoring him. You know, the NFL lost one of its faces and scattered, but you, awesome.
Edward Simpson
Best friend, Jackson, you're my boy.
Heavenly Hulkster
Scat. He's gonna be back better than ever, though, Coach. Don't. Don't worry about it.
Peter Neverville
So, Jackson, call everybody coach. Is that. Is that how that works?
Heavenly Hulkster
Just you, Coach.
Peter Neverville
There is a coach on set. He's one half of the hammer.
Heavenly Hulkster
Dad.
Florida Man
I don't know if he was talking to me, but all I know is, as a coach, you cannot replace a Cam scratch.
Edward Simpson
Scatterboo.
Coach Bill Coward
Okay?
Florida Man
As a person, as a player, any of those things we lost, we lost a good one.
Peter Neverville
Who's that Cam?
Florida Man
Scatter Boo.
Peter Neverville
No. Yeah, but it sounds like you were talking from personal perspective.
Florida Man
Oh, I was personally talking about when T.C. williams lost Gary Bertier. You cannot replace a Gary Pertier on the football field or as a person.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, I think you're right. And I didn't think about that because what. Where Bertier was at the beginning of that thing versus the end, Certainly a fascinating situation. Let's go to the toxic table. Very spooky. Heavenly. Hulkster, your thoughts on everything happening in current conversation and spookiness with the vapes here.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, I'll be honest, brother. I don't love this, okay. I feel like I'm at, you know, like a bowling alley for quarter media or something like that. This kind of garbage doesn't happen beyond the pearly gates. Okay, so. So if we could. Okay, good. It's starting to kind of dissipate a little bit. Remember the Titans, you know, great movie. I love Tony saying that, but, you know, it is interesting, dude. You know, just the amount of kind of elbows I've been able to rub up here in heaven at my version of the Hogan tag out. You know, guys like Jackie Robinson, you know, who a long time ago, people would have said, hulk's right. Never going to be doing anything with Jackie Robinson. Soon I went out and played pepper with him for an hour and a half. Yo, you know what pepper is?
Peter Neverville
Yeah, yeah. When you're.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, exactly. It's like, you know, you play before, like a baseball game, like high school, grade school. Underhandle somebody, they try to get a butt down. If they pop it up, you run over there, catch it, and they guess. Hulkster's pretty good at that game, brother.
Peter Neverville
Hulkster, you lost the Jackie by a lot, though.
Heavenly Hulkster
No.
Peter Neverville
Yes.
Heavenly Hulkster
Hulkster always gets the butt down. So we even got to a point where Hulkster had to basically be like. Like, who wants to bet I'll play defense. You guys ain't never getting me out, brother. And they do. You know, we laughed about it, we giggled. And one of the other best parts about being up here bottomless. I'm talking bottomless. You get like these big jugs for St Peter where you come in basically whatever kind of beverage you want in there. Really. Yeah, exactly. We have American beer on tap everywhere you go. You fill the up your beer, you drink it till it's gone. In the Hulkster's case, I'm just. And when you're done, that thing fills right back up to the top. Perfect amount of icy cold. Icy cold. Perfect amount of hack a butter beer.
Peter Neverville
Where's this at? This is Hogan's Hangout.
Heavenly Hulkster
Hogan's Hangout. I'm talking maybe like 150ft past the pearly gates. You take a left.
Peter Neverville
Any prime real estate, it's.
Heavenly Hulkster
Well, let's just say, everybody. I wasn't kidding. First hour. I told you how big of a Hulkamaniac say, Peter was. You should see my spread over here, dude. Me I got DMX coming over my house every night, smoking cigars, playing cards. That is one thing. Me and. Me and X. Well, I call Burl, but me and X, we took a couple four wheelers.
Peter Neverville
Terry or.
Heavenly Hulkster
No, he does call me Terry. He's one of the few guys up here who I allow to call me Terry, brother. He's become a dear, dear friend. We were basically recreating the Rough Riders. I hit the video. Yeah, exactly. Getting them puppies up on two and just, you know, kind of raising a little H E double hockey sticks. We don't like saying that up here. And even at that point, Jesus and St. Peter had to come up and be like, Earl Terry. Scary. You got scared. Everybody, man, you guys still, you know, obey the traffic laws up here. So we don't do that as much. But yeah, let's just say the Hulksters really, really enjoyed his time up here so far, brother.
Peter Neverville
Well, happy Halloween.
Heavenly Hulkster
And it's not even WrestleMania season yet.
Peter Neverville
Dude, it's coming right around.
Heavenly Hulkster
I know.
Peter Neverville
They're going to Vegas. I don't know if you.
Heavenly Hulkster
I heard. I love it.
Peter Neverville
Are you getting booked?
Heavenly Hulkster
Never say never.
Peter Neverville
Harry Potter, obviously sitting next to Heavenly Hulkster has been quite a day. There's a time now in sports where we have the World Series tonight. Hey, we got the World Series on a Friday night. And there's chances this could be over.
Heavenly Hulkster
Could be over tonight.
Harry Potter
I hope so.
Peter Neverville
Why?
Harry Potter
They basically say baseball in London is kind of like a big pile of shites, if you will.
Peter Neverville
What?
Harry Potter
No, nobody likes the baseball. We see it as kind of a poor man's sport.
Peter Neverville
No, it's great sport.
Harry Potter
That's what they say, but I didn't hear heaven. I didn't hear Heavenly Hulk Hoax to mention too much baseball. Aside from Pepper with Jackie Robinson, not a full baseball game.
Peter Neverville
He was watching, obviously. Lamar Jackson last night. Return to my. Appreciate that. How could you not? But I have found myself, ladies and gentlemen, local sports and weather reporter Edward Simpson. No relation to O.J. or Bart, Homer, Lisa, Maggie and ilk. Baseball has actually been very wild, watchable. Very, very watchable. And I don't know, you know, we've covered the entirety of baseball trying to evolve into the modern era. Obviously, we've covered sports longer than. But we know more than everybody about it because we've seen it, we've lived it, we've done it.
Edward Simpson
We know.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, brother.
Peter Neverville
Sure, brother, but baseball's try to make more rules, okay? They've tried to make more rules to make the game more. More watchable. We'll say pitch clock. Obviously getting things down quicker. Feels like there's a little bit more of an explosion. I've heard. Now we've heard that umps will potentially give a little bit of a bigger strike zone to people. So that entices hitters to swing. Like, hey, we need you to swing a little bit. We need to go ahead and get this game going, which we respect immensely. And then superstars that are global sensations who are talked about as being great in the biggest moments have shown up okay all year. Aaron Judge. All rise. This guy, 6 foot 7, captain of the Yankees, handsome, incredibly cool. Everything about him oozes superstar megastar in New York City as well. New Jersey, New York City area. You get it in that entire thing. And he showed up and delivered MVP like year. Cal Rawley storyline. Out of nowhere, this catcher who hits from both sides of the plate, huge ass.
Heavenly Hulkster
Huge ass.
Peter Neverville
I mean this guy's got a big dumper, okay? That's what this guy has. He hits D shots out there, do something that, you know, really hasn't happened in forever. And then this character right here, Shohei Ohtani, is unbelievable. Pitcher, hitter, highest paid guy. He's getting paid like $700 million or something deferred over the next 25 years. Has everybody pissed off about everything and has the entire country of Japan staying up crazy hours to watch what's happening in MLB because this guy is so damn special. And then you look on the other side with Toronto, this team, they got a five foot eight guy, okay, playing catcher. Kirk is his last name and he looks like he should be hanging out with us up on the stage right now. He looks like he should be hanging out in a think tank with us. And this guy's hitting bombs, big old ding dongs in the World Series. And then Vladi daddy, duh, yes, he's loose, okay? This guy, huge moments has shown up and delivered. So whenever baseball's on right now and let alone the 18 inning game, let alone everything else has taken place, baseball has delivered. I think Edward Simpson. Do you not agree in that notion?
Edward Simpson
I agree completely. I mean it's like the, the high pace Dodgers squad with all the superstars, they are. Those guys are playing well. But the. The what? Toronto, are they the. The. What do you.
Heavenly Hulkster
The.
Edward Simpson
The little engine that could. Is that how people look at them? Like, hey, we play small payroll. No, see, that's what I'm saying. They actually pay guys. But I guess we as Americans don't know as much. I wonder Heavenly Hulk, who's going to win tonight, I would assume the Dodgers, they got to get a win tonight. Do we know who's pitching?
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah. So it's gonna be Yoshidobu Yamamoto, one of my favorite dudes. He can just absolutely hurl that.
Peter Neverville
You have a lot of history in Japan.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, obviously. Ichiban Hulk. I can't confirm this, but I'm under the impression or people have said that both Sh Otani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto both had Ichiban holster posters in their room growing up. Wouldn't doubt it. So it's going to be Yamamoto against Kevin Gosman, who is kind of the ace for the Blue Jays as of right now. What? Yamamoto, he is just sliced through this Blue Jays lineup.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. But Heavenly Hulkster, someone sitting in a similar chair the other night after the 18 inning game said, do Toronto Blue Jays have any chance at winning this thing?
Heavenly Hulkster
They have.
Peter Neverville
They certainly have. This Toronto Blue Jays teams for real, aren't they? Heavenly Hulkster. And they can put it away tonight in Toronto.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, they could put win a World Series. Yep. Toronto tonight, their first one since 1993. This Blue Jays team, just relentless, brother. You know, it doesn't matter how many chips you stack against them. Everybody's thinking after that 18, any game you lose in horrific fashion. And then, oh, Shohei's on the bump the next night. What do they do? We don't give shit. We don't care. Okay, Shohei, we're gonna bomb his ass and we're also gonna strike him out three times. And that's exactly what they did. They won a big game. And then what are they doing? Do they still does one in la? The big bad man, the big bad acquisition, Blake Snell, who actually post game after getting kind of rock, said, you know, they didn't really. They didn't really get to be. Sometimes luck plays into it. Well, Blake, when you throw two fastballs right down the middle, two out of the first three pitches of the game, these guys get paid to. Vladimir Guerrero just signed like a $450 million contract before the year. Those kind of guys, guess what they could do. They could hit fastballs down the middle. They can ambush, they could jump you. Which is what Yoshinobu Yamamoto is going to have to remember tonight.
Peter Neverville
MLB's about to take their pennant, their championship to Canada. I thought this is America's pastime.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, that's one thing that the Hulkster still having a real tough time getting over. I'll be honest with you. I'm having a tough time. So what did I do? I said, you know what I got, I got to go into the 26 man roster. I got look at every single one of these guys and figure out where they're from. Will and behold, not a whole lot of Canadians out there. A lot. A lot of guys from the US A lot of guys from the Dominican Republic. We mentioned, you know, Alejandro Kirk, he's ob, obviously from Mexico. But yeah, you got to give the. You got to give the slide edge to the Dodgers tonight because Yamaboto's been unbelievable. But I tell you what, don't let these Blue Jays get hot. And they're already hot, brother.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, it feels like there's a really good baseball happening. Edward Simpson, from what Hulks are, said, how do you lean, Es? How do you lean?
Edward Simpson
Tonight I got Yamamoto two complete games in the. In these? Yeah. Back to back complete games.
Coach Bill Coward
Bam.
Edward Simpson
Let's make it a three. Let's make it three in a row.
Heavenly Hulkster
Let's do it. That's highly unlikely, but I like where your head's at.
Peter Neverville
You're saying they win tonight?
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, I think, I think. I also believe the Dodgers will win tonight's game.
Peter Neverville
You think the Dodgers will win tonight?
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, I believe. This one's going seven.
Peter Neverville
He thinks that Toronto's win.
Edward Simpson
No, I think, I think Dodgers. Yamamoto. Yeah, I think Yamamoto gets it done.
Peter Neverville
Oh, I misheard you. That's 100% of me. I thought you were saying that you think that Toronto is going to be able to. I. I don't know, man.
Edward Simpson
I think we need a game seven. We need this.
Peter Neverville
This has been.
Heavenly Hulkster
I agree.
Edward Simpson
We need game seven.
Peter Neverville
Okay. So we need to put into this universe that we're living in, and apparently it works because you've seen the other side and now you're doing it.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, not to. Well, with everything that's going on right now with that kind of stuff, I don't want to say I know what's going to happen, but. Yeah, let's just say I know it's going to happen tonight. See if you maybe want to bet, I don't know, Dodgers catcher Will Smith to hit a homer. I don't know, maybe you do that.
Peter Neverville
How about this?
Heavenly Hulkster
Universe ball.
Peter Neverville
Well, Heavenly ball.
Heavenly Hulkster
Okay, sure. Oh, I couldn't get over there quick enough. I was gonna guide it in. Damn, you're made it. I'll try. Okay. Oh, man. Hulkster doesn't got the same moves he used to.
Peter Neverville
See, this is the one you gotta get to.
Heavenly Hulkster
Okay. No, no, this is all you.
Peter Neverville
Why did you help me, Hulk?
Heavenly Hulkster
Well, I thought you Were gonna make it, dude. What do you mean?
Peter Neverville
Unbelievable. World Series heading back to Toronto. Game 6 is shaping up to be the most in demand Blue Jays game C ticket SeatGeek has ever seen. With the average ticket selling for 1,630. 39 bucks up there.
Heavenly Hulkster
Is that like 3,500 loonies?
Peter Neverville
Yeah, actually, I think so. And then I think it would be 819 toonies.
Heavenly Hulkster
Okay, okay.
Peter Neverville
I believe if I'm. If I'm trying to put together the math here from back in the day, trying to understand what loonies and tunies kind of remind myself what it is used to flip these coins. That's one buckets, two books. But if we're depending upon where Canada in America is, finance wise, how much the dollar is that? Tooney was also sometimes like 275 each. You know, it was a little bit worth more. And then there were some times where America was doing it, and that tooney was actually about a buck fifty, you know, but the loonies and toonies out there, Canada, good times, right now, go see a game. If the series were to make it to game seven, currently the average resale price for that game is 2,341 bucks. You can currently get $30 off with code. Pat McAfee at Sea Kick. And that's what that segment was brought to you by.
Heavenly Hulkster
Hell yeah, brother.
Peter Neverville
See the seat picker down here, Heavenly Hulkster. I don't know if you see it. You see that coach coward down there, the seat kicker? So they're always the one providing all the information. They're always one provided. And they're also ones that can provide you with a lifetime of memories with a ticket to a game. It's not just a game ticket. It's a memory forever. It's a story, it's a reunion, it's a gathering. It's a time to celebrate or get pissed off if your team is at pass. It's an experience. It's a journey. It's seatgeek. Ain't that right, Edward?
Edward Simpson
Yep. What's the code again, Pat McAfee.
Peter Neverville
P A T M C A F E E. It is our 70th code with our friends at SeatGeek. We've been with them for a very long time. We are very thankful for SeatGeek. We appreciate SeatGeek. But every once in a while, code will hit or potentially get into some couponers world, and then all of a sudden they go, we got to change it. We got to change it. We got to change it. We've already done that. We've already done that. So now it's just Pat McAfee straight across. And people always spell my name right. So this one should be easy to kind of put in. Hey, people always do that, don't they? Hulk Surrey.
Heavenly Hulkster
They kind of, yeah, all the time. Kind of. You know, it's like same deal. You know, you ask someone to smell Ichi, Bond, Hogan, and guess what? They're not spelled that right too often.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, I understand. All right, let's talk about some storylines happening around the NFL. Patrick Mahomes is talking about their game with the Buffalo Bills. Let's go ahead and run the video. Let's run the tape. Patrick Mahomes chit chat about how big it is. I mean, they don't like us.
Harry Potter
I mean, that's, that's pretty.
Heavenly Hulkster
They do not like the Chiefs, but I mean, it is a cool environment. I love playing in like historic stadiums and that stadium has had so many great players playing it and who knows.
Peter Neverville
It might be the last time that.
Heavenly Hulkster
We get the opportunity to play there. And it will be a great challenge for us. And they're loud and that's what you want. You want to go in and be.
Peter Neverville
In a hostile environment.
Heavenly Hulkster
That's what football, when you watch on TV as a kid growing up, is.
Peter Neverville
The environment you want to play in.
Heavenly Hulkster
And so obviously they're not rooting for us, but you get to bond together as a team and get to go into a historic stadium and play in a great environment.
Peter Neverville
Love everything about that. That's not wizardry, Harry, that's real. Feels like they understand this is an actual rivalry of the modern era.
Harry Potter
Yeah, not me, not Josh Allen. Patrick Mahomes is the leader of the league, if you will. However, this does feel as though the Chiefs, the Kansas City, the Swifties, the Kelsey, they tend to lose the games that don't matter as much. Like in the regular season, they've already.
Peter Neverville
Lost a few, haven't they?
Harry Potter
Specifically against the Beals. Josh Allen, now more than a football player, which I love. It seems as though Mahomes and the Chiefs may let the Bills have this. Must win. And I always look forward to what Sean McDermott says in his pre game speeches. It always seems, seems to rub people the right way. And he seems to be a Slytherin more than a Gryffindor, if you will.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. So I don't, I don't know if it's the pregame speeches or team meeting speeches that you're referring to, but Sean McDermott obviously has that Buffalo Bills team back in contention. Always going to we all assume with Josh Allen. What are your thoughts on it? Edward Simpson, these two. And also what are your thoughts on Patrick Mahomes openly saying like yeah, Chiefs, Bills, this is a real thing. We understand it's a real thing. We appreciate that it's a real thing. They've changed change rules because of our games. They're looking at the future of the NFL and what blueprints of players should look like from our games. What are your thoughts on him acknowledging that as a whole and the game agent.
Edward Simpson
I love how Patrick Mahomes handling letting them know like this is a real rivalry game. We don't, they don't like us and I'm sure the Chiefs don't like them but that's what it is. That's what these games are all about. But as the the Harry Potter gentleman, I forget Dumbledore said earlier, whatever his name is, whichever one you are, I'm not Harry. There you go Mr. Harry. Sometimes it does happen right where the Chiefs lose these games and then they win it when it matters most in the playoffs.
Peter Neverville
Did you see in the NHL we had a magical story the other night. Marshy. Oh yeah, yeah. Goes back to Nova Scotia to coach for his friend JP who he grew up playing hockey alongside. He went back and coached his junior team because the coach JP had to mourn the passing of his 10 year old daughter from cancer. So Marshy took a leave of absence from the Panthers to go up there to do that for his friend. Obviously feel good, magical moment. But also this dude is exactly who we all hope he is. This guy is awesome. This guy is incredible. He showcases it. Shout out to hockey being like this but also shout out to sports for once again in very hard times kind of bringing people together. Con man. What else did I miss in this story that is obviously incredibly feel good and awesome.
Harry Potter
Yeah, I'm definitely going to drop the anger so accent because I really do want to talk about this and be able to Marchand I believe owns or at least donated to this team. The team itself is called the Marshan and Mill Company Hunters. It's the U18 team. I mean this, this made me emotional. This is kind of the thing that you know, sports brings out in people. I think it's kind of the best of everything. Not just Martian like even the Florida Panthers understanding like hey you need like this is much more important to go and do and like him being on the bench. I mean just putting yourself in the, in the position of, you know, Brad Marchand's best friend. Hey, this guy just won a Stanley Cup. They're going, you know, they're trying to get another one, but he's deciding to be here. Putting yourself in the position of those kids. Like, man, we kind of thought that maybe we weren't going to play hockey for a little bit, even though, you know, U18, that's very important hockey, especially for those kids in Canada. And, you know, Brad Marchand now is the guy that we're coming off the ice to see. It's just. It's. It's amazing. And it's just what makes Brad Marchand such a special person.
Peter Neverville
Taking that moment from what could be obviously incredibly devastating for all parties there. Teams get very tight hockey teams. Obviously, we're not talking about anything anybody doesn't already understand. But now it's like a story in a moment forever. Marcy came and coached the boys. Like, the boys now. They had to go through something very devastating with their coach. He's potentially away in the middle of a season. Obviously, that can rally and gather and round everybody up and get them closer and tighter. But now also add in a part of the story, one of the greatest hockey players of all time from the area coming back and lending a helping hand to a brother. I mean, it's a beautiful thing, Ed. It really is a beautiful thing, A.J.
Harry Potter
Yeah.
Edward Simpson
And I think hockey. Hockey kind of has that. That brotherhood that. That some sports may not be. Might not be as tight. And think about it as professional sports. Professional athletes, game week, like they're in season. Yeah. To leave in season that people don't realize how big of a deal that truly is.
Peter Neverville
So.
Edward Simpson
So, yeah, Bill Zito and the boys over there understanding. And for Marshy to do this. Yeah. I think it's something those kids will remember forever. And as well as his best friend will remember till he died, it's also.
Peter Neverville
A good act for people to see, like, hey, this is how friends.
Edward Simpson
And there's things that are more important in sports, too, at times for some people.
Harry Potter
Yeah. Like even just thinking about the guys on the Panthers, you know, I'm sure there's younger guys who are just thinking, you know, just as far as perspective goes, like, they're probably just trying to earn their. Their way through the NHL. And then having a guy like Brad Marchand who's a leader of your team, you just mentioned with the Panthers kind of show you like, yes, of course this stuff is important. This is our profession. But, like, there are things that are much bigger and like being able to go and do something like that, like shout out Bill Zito and all, like Paul Maurice, their coach, like everyone just being telling Brad. Basically, yeah, get out of here.
Peter Neverville
Sports are the greatest.
Heavenly Hulkster
The greatest.
Peter Neverville
Speaking of the greatest, ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is the greatest well time whenever it comes to coaching college football, friend of the program, host of college game day, Ladies and gentlemen, future hall of famer in every hall of fame that exists, including business. And birthday boy, coach Nick Saban.
Nick Saban
Thank you, thank you.
Peter Neverville
What's going on, bro?
Nick Saban
You guys look marvelous.
Peter Neverville
Thank you, coach. We didn't know if you were going to potentially dress up, but if I could dress up like the greatest of all time every day, I would. So I appreciate you looking in the mirror and saying. And this is exactly what we need. Happy birthday to you, dude.
Heavenly Hulkster
Happy birthday to you, bro. Happy birthday, dear cousin. Happy birthday to you, dear to dude.
Peter Neverville
Happy birthday, coach.
Nick Saban
Hey, man, I appreciate it. You guys look great, but you sing like shit.
Peter Neverville
Well, coach, that says ears. You got those old ass ears. That's your old ass ears. You don't hear the cleansingness of our voices. We appreciate you. Hey, gonna be easier to shoot your age, huh? Gonna be easier to shoot your age.
Nick Saban
Now that's one good factor.
Peter Neverville
A lot of good factors for us. I want to let you know we're thankful that you have the best year that you've ever had in the history of your life coming up this upcoming year. And we're going to be a chance to be a part of it and watch it. You're a good dude, man. Great dude. And the way you treat everybody and the way that you kind of speak about everything is how everybody wishes that the people around them would speak. You're a legend. That's why everybody says you should be the President of the United States. Happy birthday. From one old ass man to another, you know what I mean?
Nick Saban
Yeah, Coach, I appreciate it, man. Thank you so much. Means a lot. And you know, you got to have a lot of gratitude for the things that you have, but nothing's more important than relationships. And I do appreciate the relationships that we've developed, you and I as well as I enjoy so much being on this show with these guys.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, we're lucky to have you. Let's talk about where you're at right now. You're over in Utah. We catch up with you tonight. I can't wait to go trick or treating with my daughter. I can.
Nick Saban
Well, I think that's wonderful that you're able to do that.
Peter Neverville
Amen.
Nick Saban
First time. She really kind of knows what's happening and it's good that you can spend it with her.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, I am so pumped. So I'll come catch up with you on that note. Excited to be out there. Were you there the last time that game day was there? Their fans and their like alumni showed up in a huge way out there and they have the mighty Utah student section. They're favored by ten and a half. What are your thoughts early here on being out in Utah and what this team presents for the Cincinnati team?
Nick Saban
Well, I was not here the last time we had it here but I will say this is a beautiful part of the country. But I think this is, you know, I've liked Utah's team all year. You know, they play good defense, they're physical, they tough, they kind of play old fashioned football. This backup quarterback did a marvelous job for him, you know, last week against Colorado. But I tell you what, Cincinnati is sneaky good with the quarterback that they have now. I know the running back is hurt for this game prior but they've had great balance and I like the Cincinnati team. If they can play good enough defense, I think these guys may be for real. Real.
Peter Neverville
10 and a half is the spread. Cincinnati has been hot. They lose week one to Nebraska in a neutral site game. Everybody rules them out now. Game day. Big 12 still very much in their sights. Let's talk about another game happening this weekend. Edward Simpson, no relation to O.J. or Bart, has a question for you. Coach.
Edward Simpson
Yeah, Coach, Oklahoma's playing Tennessee Saturday night, 7:30pm Eastern, I guess. How do you see this game going? A lot of hype. Obviously neither team can afford to lose right now with two losses each of them. But how do you think this game is?
Nick Saban
I really like Tennessee in this game. I mean they've got one of the leading offensive teams in the country when it comes to scoring points. They're difficult to defend. They've got a good offensive line, they can run the ball and you know, Oklahoma's got a great defense, one of the best in the country. But I think when you spread them out like this, it's going to be more difficult for them, especially playing on the road. And you know, to me the issue for Oklahoma is are they going to be able to score enough points in this game? Because they've been struggling on offense a little bit since, you know, John Mateer came back from, you know, breaking his hand, which is, you know, I mean it's understandable. You know, the guy's playing hurt and he's playing quarterback. It's harder to spin it, but if he plays well, they'll have a chance. But I just think Tennessee is going to be hard to be relative to the points that they score. But Tennessee struggle on defense, too, so they're going to have to outspoken.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, Tennessee, you know, we've seen the greatness of them. And then obviously they're not perfect. So in college, that can get exposed literally any weekend. And then Oklahoma, I've been waiting on. I've been waiting on be back because I had so much hope for them at the beginning. The hand. You're right. I mean, that's very understandable that it's potentially slowed him down a little bit, but it definitely has. Let's talk about another team that's on a run right now, undefeated. Go ahead, Con man.
Harry Potter
Yeah, Coach. I'll go back to my English accent after this, but you're old as shit and I don't want you to misunderstand me. Texas A and M. Happy birthday, Coach Cap. Birthday, Coach. And oh, man, I was going to drop a D's nuts on you, but I won't. Texas A and M and Mike Elko seem to have turned that thing around completely. They're basically now. I mean, it's hard to argue that they're not the best team in the country. What do you think about the job they've done? And how about this quarterback? You know, he. He really wasn't up there for Heisman odds, and now. Now it feels like he damn near might run away with it.
Nick Saban
Well, he's playing great. And I would say the two teams at this point in the season that's kind of separated themselves from the pack to me, is Ohio State and Texas A and M. And, you know, Marcel Reed has been a big part of that. But, you know, I think this guy has got special talents, man. He's improved as a passer. He's got better receivers, he's got better skill guys, guys to play with them outside, they can run the ball a little bit and this guy can beat you with his feet. So this guy is, I mean, unbelievable talented athlete. I mean, when you talk about this guy playing basketball and what a good basketball player he was, I mean, and, you know, they've got the skill guys now. Here you go. Punt return for a touchdown against lsu. So I think this is a really, really good team.
Peter Neverville
Can you tell me, did you recruit Marceau? Did you know? Is that why you. Did you see him play basketball? Or did you just. You've heard through the coaching ladder about the incredibly athletic Marcel Reed, who now has seemingly figured it out in all facets.
Nick Saban
Yeah, well, I did not see him play basketball in high school. I saw some clips on him playing basketball, and I'm saying, wow, this guy's a player. But this guy reminds me of somebody that plays for the Baltimore Ravens that has, you know, turned the National Football League upside down for, you know, several years now. And I think this guy's got the same kind of qualities.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, you saw the stop right before the touchdown. Literally takes us back to Lamar from high school. You know, that exact play. Now, granted, his was on the sideline. His was in the middle of the field. Marcel's special. He's in. Hey, Heisman conversation is very real. You talked about Texas A and M and Ohio State separating themselves. I think everybody in Indiana. Indiana would say, well, hey, that's what everybody in Indiana would say.
Nick Saban
I should have known better.
Peter Neverville
Obviously, could bring a little bit of heat. You talked about Marcel Reed and that Texas A and M team. They get a huge win over lsu. So big, actually, it draws some change. Governor Jeff Landry is even talking about it now at this point, it's become national talking point about what's going on down there at lsu. Go ahead, Coach. Cower.
Florida Man
Yeah, Coach. From one coach to another, everything that's going on down at lsu, they do not have an AD right now. They do not have a president right now. And Governor Jeff Landry is talking about the coach is going to have to have a pruvit contract. Is LSU doing themselves any favor in this coaching carousel? Are they scaring coaches away potentially?
Nick Saban
Well, you know, I think, you know, one of the things that is really important now in college football, and let me make a comparison for you. You know, in the NFL, everything's vertically integrated in one business. In other words, the rules are clearly defined by the league as to what you can and can't do, whether it's salary cap, contracts, whatever it is, and you either succeed or fail based on what happens in the building, from, you know, the owner to the GM to the coaches to the personnel folks to the players. College is just kind of the opposite. Everything's happening externally, not internally, like it is in the NFL. So you got all these external factors that are constantly changing, whether it's transfer portal, how much you can pay guys, revenue sharing, you know, what kind of collective do you have? So traditionally, how have you been able to adapt to that? And my point about tradition is some of the traditional jobs like LSU that people always looked at as one of the best jobs have they Adapted to all these things, like they need to, to be able to continue to be one of the best jobs in the country. And I think that's why you see Vandy, Indiana, places who have not historically been traditionally great jobs, actually having a lot of success now because they have managed the external factors very well to bring it in house so that they can function effectively. So what's to say lsu, Florida, they're traditionally the best jobs, but are they the best jobs now, relatively speaking, based on how they've adapted to. To the external circumstances that really affect your ability to be successful in college football?
Peter Neverville
Okay, so on that note, people quote you whenever they say why LSU is such a good job. They say, I believe the greatest college football coach of all time is quoted on the record as saying five stars fall out of trees in Louisiana. Like that is literally what happens down there. So if you're able to just recruit the state, you'll be able to win. What you're saying, saying is recruiting any state right now requires some things that a lot of other schools potentially have more of. Is that kind of what you are referring to right now?
Nick Saban
Yeah, I think, you know, I can't give you any statistical facts on this, but is regional recruiting as effective as it once was? You know, I've also made the statement that kids in Louisiana grew up wanting to go to lsu. Kids in Alabama grew up wanting to go to Alabama. Well, some of those kids are going to Ohio State because they're getting paid more. And it becomes a little bit more about money than it does about regional alliance in terms. And you can't blame the kids for it. I'm not don't want you to think that. No, but so at the same time I'm saying if you don't have those resources, you know, it used to be about program facilities, how can you develop players, how can you create value for their future? Well, how can you create value for them right now is what's changed in college football and how have you adapted to that?
Peter Neverville
Yeah, and if you don't do it every day, we got options. Lane Kiffin came on and chit chatted about pre portaling. Basically where you have one good game, there's like three schools that are calling at night. Somebody obviously not directly associated. But hey, if you were maybe going portal, we got about 120,000m andms. In, you know, if you need that, that's happening at all times. So it feels like the business aspect of decision making is starting much earlier as opposed to the regional territorial. I would like to be in this area conversation, I think. I don't know how you're going to start that. I assume there'll be a good stat at some point that kind of depicts that. I mean, I go back to Quinn Ewers even that was at the beginning of this Nil era. He's like Texas Longhorn through and through. Texas kid wanted to be Texas. I think he was committed to Texas but couldn't get paid. So he went to Ohio State to get paid. Went to Ohio State because he could get paid there. Then he came back to Texas even though he wanted to be a Texas Longhorn all along. Had to go somewhere else to kind of get the money. I do wonder what that means for LSU because they're ranking the job like LSU is.
Nick Saban
But to your point, I think that's a great strategy if you're in a place that historically has a lot of good players coming out of high school school. If that guy went to another school, I would track that guy's career like from day one because eventually get him back, bring him back. If you lose him the first time, get him the second time and you might be better off because he might have developed a little better and he might be more ready to play, more mature. So I would definitely do that. And I think that's definitely something LSU should be doing just like Texas has done.
Peter Neverville
Boy, I haven't even thought about, can't be burning bridges during this recruitment process because guess who's going to be available maybe in two weeks.
Heavenly Hulkster
Who's that?
Peter Neverville
That guy? That player might not be happy where he's at. Is it sustainable? You know, that's kind of the question. Is it all sustainable? We shall see.
Harry Potter
There's a video of Kalyn DeBoer after the game where one of their players I think is number 12. I forget if it was offense or defense, but a South Carolina coach like went up to him and was kind of talking to him and Kaylin Deborah kind of like yanked them away like, hey, come on, we just won the game, let's get out of here.
Peter Neverville
Interesting time in college football. A.J. elson and his Edward Simpson has a question for you. Coach.
Edward Simpson
Yeah, Coach, I don't know if you got a chance to see the game last night. Ravens played the Dolphins. We got to see year old QB to. Obviously the Dolphins are battling. They're. They're trying to figure things out. I guess when you look at them, what can they do? Like what can you do at this point in the season? You're in the NFL and you're struggling. You have two wins right now. How do you handle that day in and day out?
Peter Neverville
Like, what, are they fired GM this morning?
Harry Potter
Yeah.
Edward Simpson
And they fired the gm. Like, what do you do if you're the head coach when you walk into that team meeting every day?
Nick Saban
It's hard. You know, I went through that in Cleveland. You know, in 93, we were 5 and 2. We made. We cut some players at bye week after being 5 and 2, and we went 2 and 7 the rest of the way. And it was a little bit of a mutiny in the building. But the one thing that pro players can do and can think of to keep things going is they need to play well to extend their career and see how much money they can make. So winning and losing doesn't necessarily determine that. So if they keep performing well, they're still creating value for themselves. And I think that's important for pro players to take advantage of, even if you're not on a winning team. But I think the Dolphins, you know, I have a house in Florida, so a lot of people ask me what's wrong with the Dolphins, And I can't really answer that question completely. Obviously, they've had some injuries that could affect that, but they haven't played great on defense and they haven't scored a lot of points, so they have lots of issues. And I didn't know they fired Chris Greer this morning. Yeah, well, he's one of my favorites. You know, he. He was a scout there when I was the head coach many, many years ago. And I think Chris Greer does a really, really good job. But I guess, you know, when you look at the product on the field, personnel has to do something about it and be responsible for it to some degree, and the coaches have to be responsible for how do they develop it. So. And everybody's got to make those decisions internally, I guess.
Peter Neverville
Gumpy just heard what you said, and in the moment, pretty emotional. Three threw up. You know, he was. He was happy to move along just because Dolphins fans feel like they've been in purgatory throughout this entirety. But it wasn't that long ago that this roster, this money, was like the hottest thing in the NFL. And now, you know, it's a complete opposite of that. And Lamar Jackson comes back to town and does his thing against him to interesting situation because you talk about having good tape, you know, like, hey, put good tape out there, doesn't matter if we're going to playoffs. Like some teams, teams have a 2% chance to make the playoffs, they kind of understand what the situation is. But OGs tell them like, hey, this is either where you keep your job or maybe make some more money. People are watching this. This isn't just like fans being upset about us not having a hope. This is all like a tryout. You know they talk about preseason. This is real here. So if you can do good tape. That's why whenever they say like people are tanking for somebody, it's like players aren't. Players aren't putting shitty tape out there. Like that ain't players. And now are there schemes being called? Are there people not being dressed? Maybe. Are those things happening potentially? Maybe that is happening with teams. I'm not going to rule it out because I am an open minded individual. But like when we were in the, the suck for luck campaign, everybody was saying it was like I wasn't trying to shank balls. Yeah, right. I would have got fired. The offensive lines are trying to give up sacks to whoever is playing quarterback that year because they want to keep a job. So interesting dynamic that the Miami. Miami Dolphins are now staring down.
Heavenly Hulkster
Good for you, gumpy luck dude.
Peter Neverville
James is good.
Florida Man
It's been too long.
Peter Neverville
Hey, Chris Greer, good guy.
Florida Man
He was a good guy. Just wasn't good at his job at the end.
Peter Neverville
At the end. That's fair at the end.
Florida Man
He was good at the start.
Peter Neverville
He made some good moves at the start. This last player's gonna execute trouble. Yeah, exactly. Well, that's like Coach McCarthy. Coach McCarthy goes well, his players got to execute as well. Which is always like the coach's angle, you know.
Edward Simpson
It's true though, that his part of it.
Heavenly Hulkster
I agree.
Edward Simpson
Definitely part of it. Like if you have, if you feel like you have the right players, they should be able to execute the scheme. If they can't, that's probably, I don't know, you're giving too much to them.
Peter Neverville
That's why there's always this whenever like draft hype happens because the personnel department says this guy's got a lot of potential and then it's coach's job to build him up. Well, if he never makes it, who, who cares if he was maybe just a bus. This coach should have been better because the GM saw something in him and this coach obviously didn't make it happen. But maybe the players just ass. And that's, that's what the coaches say after they're getting fired. Say. Well that's kind of the circle, isn't it? Coach personnel people have these visions. Coaches are supposed to make it happen. If you don't make it Happen definitely on you. And if the whole team is asked and they think everything's bad, well, you put the entire team together, you got to get out of here. I feel like that's kind of the natural thoughts about those positions.
Nick Saban
I think you're 100% correct in terms of, you know, you heard me say this before, is there's seven or eight teams in the NFL that have vertical integration from top to bottom. Bottom. In other words, the personnel people are out there getting the kind of players that fit the system in the scheme that the coaches want to play. The coaches are able to develop those players because they're both, you know, in sync with each other in terms of what they're looking for, type of people, as well as, you know, physical characteristics, whether it's size, speed, critical factors to play a position. So they're getting people that fit what the coaches want, and the coaches. Coaches take that fit and make it work. So you have the same teams that seem to be successful kind of on a consistent basis, and then you have the same teams that seem to struggle because they don't have that alignment. Because if you have vertical integration, you don't have what you just talked about, which most of the teams have an issue with, personnel, coaching, developing. So, look, I went through two years in Miami as a head coach, all right, the first year we had vertical integration with the personnel, with, you know, right down to the coaches. The second year, we didn't, and we had a terrible draft, and the team went in the opposite direction. So that's very. It's critical to being successful, I think. Everybody's got to be a team. Everybody's got to be together. We can't be pointing fingers at why we pick this guy and he's not playing well. Everybody's got to be responsible and accountable for it, and you got to pick the right guy to start with. It's no different than what I say about paying players in college. Play the wrong guys, are shit out of luck. Draft the wrong guys, you shit out of luck.
Peter Neverville
That's life in general, I believe, and I appreciate every time you start speaking about any of this stuff, because you're talking about vertical integration a lot, it's basically saying, like, hey, everybody has to be seeing the same picture. Because if you're drafting a three, four player, got a four, three defense, like, what are you. Are we even? Are we even? Well, he's going to. He's going to have to play. He's going to have to drop back. It's like, that's not why would you do that? That happens.
Edward Simpson
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
On like. And he talked about there's seven or eight teams that are kind of all aligned. There is actual situations where it's like, well, they'll make them fit in there. And it's like, how is this the highest level?
Edward Simpson
How is this you hire the wrong coach thing? You're out of luck too, right? I mean, think about it. If you bring the wrong guy in, sometimes it doesn't fit.
Peter Neverville
Okay, let's pivot back to college football and talk about a team, you know, that's had an interesting season. Go ahead, Heavenly Hulkster.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, coach, this weekend we got Vandy in Texas, dude. And you know, as of right now, Arch Manning is a game time decision and in the NFL at least I think he believes concussion, that's been a two week injury. Now, I haven't perused the injury report. I don't know if he's playing or not. But when you look at this game, how do you see this one go? How big of a difference will it be for Texas if Arch Manning doesn't play? Obviously they still got, you know, some five star guy behind him. So it's not like the end of the world. But how do you see this one? Shake it out, brother.
Peter Neverville
Nothing.
Nick Saban
You know, Vanderbilt, you got to give them a lot of credit for how they played last week because, you know, Diego did not have a great game. They were still able to score enough points, they were able to play good enough defense. And you know, it just seems like Texas has struggled a little bit bit to get any kind of rhythm going on offense for whatever reasons. And I don't know what. That's the question I'd love to ask Sark, you know, tomorrow when he's on the show is, you know, what needs to be fixed? Is it the offensive line? Is it inability to run the ball, inability to protect the passer? What are the issues here? But I tell you what, Clark Lee's done a really good job with that defense and whatever the issue is with, you know, Texas offense, they're going to try to expose him in the game by, you know, how they come after him. So it'll be interesting. I don't know enough about Texas backup quarterback to really make a comment on how good the guy can play or will play. But I think it's going to be a game and you know, like Pat, you know, kind of put me on a spot last week, you know, in Nashville, so I had to jump on the Vanderbilt bandwagon and I really can't jump Jump off.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, okay. I like that. I like you jumped on completely. They give you a crown when you.
Nick Saban
Did that and you set it all up. No, I appreciate it.
Peter Neverville
Not just they were booing you and it was like, we got to address this here, brother. Like we, we got, we have to address this can't be the entire time in the fact that in a 45 second period it won from. They were going to boo every time you spoke. You know, that was the decision that they made and I didn't know that until, until they started doing it and then I was like, yes, I love that they have done that. I enjoy that type of shit. I like when a group of people come together and say, are we doing this? Yeah, we're doing this. Perfect. Let's drop it on them. But now we gotta address that. And then you being able to say, hey, listen, I was wrong because what's now is special. And I agree with that. Don't you think after going game day there, it's special what they've been able to do. You mentioned it earlier about like Indiana and then they. Vanderbilt being able to be very good versus maybe some of these other perennial powerhouses that aren't as aligned or set up going forward. Vandy, Their name's Vanderbilt. That family, they got a lot of money there. I think it's possible to kind of go down there and. Van, don't you think as well, Coach? Like for sustain. Obviously Diego is the one that put the key into the ignition and ignited this entire thing. But I think it's sustainable if they're able to keep Clark and everything. They're cooking. Coach.
Nick Saban
I do too. And you know, they, they. I'm not going to say it on the air, but they have a significant amount of money in their collective, which I think they were able to get because Diego brought some success to the program. People could see the value and exposure that that gave the university and the program and it's very beneficial. So they've made a commitment and it's showing and it's paying off. So kind of, kind of, kind of really interesting, but really good for college football, I think.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, you can zoom out teams like.
Nick Saban
Vanderbilt, Virginia and you know, Cincinnati and people who have not historically been people that we talk about, we're now talking about them and I think that's a good thing.
Peter Neverville
Indiana didn't even have a football. They had a football team but you know, they didn't even have a weight room. Indiana was in the Big Ten football state. Okay. This is a football state. Love Football out here didn't even really have a football program. And then now with investment and the right people and the transfer portal, they got an impact. Stadium renovations in hope for the next 10 years for football. I think it's great for the sport. I think it's amazing. But we're going to find out the haves and the haves knots. I mean that is certainly going to come. You're going to have to get a group of dogs to kind of transform a place if you want to build it. But you can in this era. It's been proven. Happy birthday, coach. We love you so much. I'll see you out in Utah.
Nick Saban
Appreciate it, man. Thank you so much. I appreciate you guys. It's always a great experience to spend a little time with you on Friday.
Peter Neverville
What's the. What's the age now?
Nick Saban
74.
Harry Potter
Dang.
Heavenly Hulkster
Just.
Nick Saban
Just to put it out there, I used to get three aside. It's not based on handicap, it's based on age. Now that I'm 74, I'm going to start getting four side. Just makes sense to me.
Peter Neverville
Yes, it does. And you're Nick Saban. So they don't it. They can get the off the court. Ladies and gentlemen, the Goat. Coach Rick Sa. Happy birthday.
Heavenly Hulkster
Happy birthday, dude. Happy birthday, dude.
Peter Neverville
All right, before we get out of here, we'd like to showcase all of the costumes of the Thunderdome. Obviously you have A.J. here he is. Edward Simpson. I think you've done a great job this far. Great job. What was your inspiration? You said it was a group of.
Edward Simpson
People, a bunch of. Yeah, just nationwide people that I see on TV every single day.
Peter Neverville
I love everything about the toxic table. I've obviously. Harry Potter. Wonderful. So I didn't know much about Harry before today.
Harry Potter
Yeah. And there's a lot more to know if you will.
Heavenly Hulkster
But.
Harry Potter
But again, you know I tried to mention it's with. With my question to Dano about Bart Simpson, but. Yeah. Yes, it's. It's very nice. You should dive into Harry Potter.
Peter Neverville
What's above the left eye there? Looks like something's on your head.
Harry Potter
Yeah, not the Mansons. Actually it's. It's my scar. It's when I almost got murdered. Yes. And in my mother. Mother saved me and she got murdered.
Peter Neverville
You do look like Harry Potter with those glasses. And then obviously right next to you, Harry, we have for the first time ever. Heavenly Hulkster. Good to see you down here from heaven.
Heavenly Hulkster
Thank you, dude. Thank you for extending the advice. Great to be back you guys. Always. I love yucking it up with you fellas.
Peter Neverville
And then with those things on, you can maybe come back whenever, right? Because St. Peter kind of said, you're the one.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, whatever I want. I don't know if that applies to everybody up in heaven, dude, but again, me and St. Peter, about his. You know, I thought Jimmy Hart was my guy forever, and he is. Okay, dude, Well, I tell you, I.
Peter Neverville
Really like St. Peter's good on his stick.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, brother. He's. He, he's holding court at the pearly gates when people come in, cut promos. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Peter Neverville
Like, Like Jimmy the Mouth of the Sound.
Heavenly Hulkster
Like the mouth of the Sound.
Peter Neverville
Mouth of.
Heavenly Hulkster
He's the mouth of heaven. He's the mouth of the pearly gates, you know? And guess what? If St. Peter doesn't like you, he's gonna let you know right away. Purgatory. See ya soon. Or not. And he does that. That really kind of gets him going. But again, he saw holster. He said, you know what, Hulster? Let me go find the B. Now I've remembered it. I remembered I've been having so much fun up here. He goes. So things slipped through the cracks. He said, hey, hoaxter, how about some 23 inch wide wings for those 23 inch pythons you got? Dude, again, regular heavenly nomenclature. You're looking at about a 16 to 18 inch wing. And yeah, the hoaxer's got 23s to match his biceps, so the Hulkster's doing just fine.
Peter Neverville
I'm happy St. Peter's taking care of you up there, Hulk, sir.
Heavenly Hulkster
Love that dude. Man.
Peter Neverville
How are the. How's the back? I know we asked you whenever you were here last time if you had any regrets at all throughout the entirety of your life. And with those 23 inch pythons you're talking about, your answer was, why was I doing a leg drop? You know, because the hips in the back took such a beating. How are the heavenly hips and the heavenly back up there?
Heavenly Hulkster
I feel better than I have, really, since I was running hot with Nash and, and shit, kid. Scott Hall. Thank you. Who quits Deadly. I play cards with every Friday night. But, yeah, you know, I, I, I haven't felt that good since I was running hot with those guys back in LA. St. Peter did mention that. He said, listen, Ulster, I hate to do this. I don't want to do this. Did we ever think about maybe a sleeper hold instead of the leg drop? And I just said, St. Peter, you son of a. Come here, dude. And we kind of, you know, we, we Greco Roman, a little Bit and that was the end of it. But yeah, the Hulkster. I'm doing just fine, bro.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. And we're doing just fine. We got to see you, obviously. I hope to see you again. And then behind the glass, obviously got Hot Dog Jackson Dart, Tush Push John, and Old Florida Man. Thanks for showing up today, boys.
Heavenly Hulkster
Hell yeah, bro.
Peter Neverville
You think the Tush Push fan is going to become like kind of a thing? Maybe ash cheeks on the head to save the play? Because it feels like everybody's against you.
Heavenly Hulkster
Guys that plays not going anywhere. Nobody can stop it. Not even the league.
Peter Neverville
Refs don't stop it ever. That's kind of. And then they try to stop it post play. It's kind of a part of the problem with those ash cheeks on your head. I just want to let you know, that kind of a problem.
Heavenly Hulkster
Go Birds.
Peter Neverville
What if we always talk about Big D. You think they're going to pass a rule that he doesn't say is okay then? Yeah. Right. Big Dom's like, let me grab your pen there. I got your vote for you. They can kiss my ears. All right, John. I appreciate that. Now in the think tank, the boys that have been hanging, obviously we have an incredible crew. True in their costumes delivered dirty graphic designer had his birthday just a few days ago. Dressed up as. Ladies and gentlemen, Frozone baby. Hey, this is genius. Sir. Okay.

Edward Simpson
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
Did not expect that at all.

Peter Neverville
No, you don't have to do that. You don't have to do that. He said you mailed in on the costume though. He said glasses and the hat not enough. That's what Hulkster said.
Heavenly Hulkster
I did say that.
Peter Neverville
They're booing you. Florida man's booing you in the back. I don't like it though. Taco.
Heavenly Hulkster
Disgusting.
Peter Neverville
Hey, Taco. Taco. Taco. Taco. You're my Taco. Thanks. Muchos gracias, me amigo. Good looking Taco there. Even a little avocado on top. Edward Simpson, your thoughts on Taco.

Peter Neverville
Okay, so it's chips.
Harry Potter
Yeah, of course, of course.
Heavenly Hulkster
Don't forget the poker slash sports betting dollar is going to be around 9 o'. Clock. Famous celebrities won't say who for liability, but you know.
Peter Neverville
Okay, all right. Totally legit, he says. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, from the audio department, he's a guy who is always lit dude. And he's excited for the halftime performance. It's Mitt McMahon as Bat Bonnie. I like it. I like it. Can't wait to hear. Yeah. Hey, you look good, buddy. Good luck in your super bowl halftime show. A lot of people not happy. Maybe speak some English there saying. And ladies and gentlemen, last but not least, he's a D3 national champion. He was so excited to do this. Debone as Hardy. Hey, that's good. And last but not least, Hardy, can you make some space for Mickey Moss?
Heavenly Hulkster
Holy shito.
Peter Neverville
With the greatest costume I have ever seen. Thank you. Mickey Moss. Yeah, thank you. We'll see you on Monday. That's how we ended the show.
Nick Saban
Hey.
Peter Neverville
That's how we ended the show. Hardy, real quick, will you come back? Will you Come back, Hardy. That's how we ended the show. Unbelievable. Hardy, I think this is, this is a really good effort. I think you should be very proud of your. You're a massive big loud boy, aren't you? I mean, Hardy's kind of your guy. You won a contest on trying to guess what the order of his. How many songs. 14 song album. Didn't have an order out there. Let's go and do a contest. If one of these people can figure out what the exact order is of my songs, we'll give them two show tickets. There was one winner. Thousands and thousands of entries. One winner. Because the odds of that just absolutely absurd. Unless you can really feel the music. Unless you can really see the story. Ladies and gentlemen, Hardy.
Heavenly Hulkster
Here, baby, baby. Hardy.
Harry Potter

Heavenly Hulkster
Alcohol and in my cup Got the.
Peter Neverville
Whole house wall to wall. Hey, good work. Really good. Not enough passion. I think in the delivery.
Heavenly Hulkster
No, definitely not.
Peter Neverville
Cuz Hardy really puts on a show. But that's the difference between Halloween Hardy and Apple Hardy.
Heavenly Hulkster
Good point.
Peter Neverville
Always watch the difference here, Hardy. Great pen. Great pen.
Florida Man
I'm surprised he didn't somehow work the Hardy Boys into the Hardy costume.
Peter Neverville
Should have maybe had. And ladies and gentlemen, obviously one half of the Hammer Cowboys is dressed as Yinzer legend, hall of famer, super bowl champion Coach Coward. Thank you for joining us today.
Florida Man
It's a true honor to be here with you.
Peter Neverville
How has it been? What did you have to do mentally to really attack today's show?
Nick Saban
Nothing.
Florida Man
I just wake up, eat, breathe, and sleep football. As I said before, coming here and talking football with you boys is what I was destined to do. Obviously, I, I, I feel good about being with you boys.
Nick Saban
I.
Florida Man
We share the same iron in our blood from the Three Rivers. It's just, it's just a true honor to be here.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. And I like that you're putting a little spotlight on Coach Coward because as a fellow Yinzer as well, we, we love that man. Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to hall of fame Yenzer legend coach Bill Cow. Yeah, Coach, what are your thoughts? Immediate reaction. What are your thoughts?
Coach Bill Coward
So, so tone. I guess that's my chin, huh?
Florida Man
Yeah, well, see the, see the thing, coaches? I don't have a chin. I learned that the other day when I shaved my beard, so I had to, you know, Come up with this prosthetic.
Peter Neverville
Yeah.
Coach Bill Coward
I love the fact that we are from the same bloodlines. The three Rivers, that. The convergence of the three rivers that landed in Three River Stadium, that went to Hines Field, that now sits in Zachary. Sure. And we are playing the Indianapolis Colts this week. As you know, this is a reunion of the 2005 championship team. So I'm going back there this afternoon and be with the boys tonight. I'm gonna give them a talk tomorrow. Ben's gonna pick me up at the for go to the walkthrough and hopefully get a picture with a rod and Mike, myself and Ben.
Peter Neverville
Okay.
Coach Bill Coward
That was a pretty remarkable game, Pat. I don't know if you remember that game in 2005.
Peter Neverville
Let's talk about it. Okay, I remember.
Coach Bill Coward
It was a go ahead. It was. It was a game. You always say there's ebb and flow in every game. We came out and got off to an early start. At one point in the third, fourth quarter, we actually sacked Peyton three consecutive times. He had problems with protection at that time. All we had to do at that point, up by three, was basically, I didn't want to just sit on it because you would have enough time. So I'd hand the ball to Jerome. And Jerome, who has never fumbled all year, he happened to fumble the ball on that particular play. And the only people we had on the field that time was a bunch of linemen and slow tight ends that were blocking him. And so as Harper picked it up, who ironically enough, had an incident at his home the day before.
Peter Neverville
But he.
Coach Bill Coward
Took off, Ben going backwards tripped him up, and right there may have been the best tackle of the entire playoff. Here it is. All you got to do is just don't fumble. And now we are done. We're up by three and we're sitting there with Peyton at the midfield. He throws two balls into the end zone to our rookie, Brian McFadden. They both fall in complete. But you have like a 52 yard field goal by Mike Vanderjagt, who was the most accurate field goal kicker at the time. And so I called. I tied. I called timeout to ice him. He looked at me like, what are you doing? I'm thinking, well, what else am I going to do? I only got one more timeout left. He missed it. That game was epic. Only because the fact earlier in the season we lost three straight games and one was an embarrassment on Monday night in Indianapolis to that same. So that was kind of the revenge tour we had that season. We won eight straight that year to win a championship, six of which were on the road. And it was kind of sense of. It was kind of a revenge. First was Cincinnati, the last team we lost to. The second was Indianap or Indianapolis, who embarrassed us on Monday night. And Tone, the third one was Denver. And we had enough history with Denver to say, we're going to beat you in your place. Mike Shanahan. That was an Seattle and went to Detroit. Detroit going up there to Motown. We were the home team. And I said, nope, we are the away team. We're wearing our white jerseys because we've been underdogs this entire trip. Because you said no six seed can ever go to a Super bowl, let alone even win one. So you know what? We're not only going to do it and we're going to do it as a road dog. And that's what we did.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. In Jerome Bettis hometown, he won the super bowl for. For the bus on the way out. What an absolutely wonderful story. Yeah. Got absolute chills. You reminiscing on the greatness of that 2005 team. I graduated high school in 2005, him in 2006. So we were living that with you, brother. You need to know we were living alongside of that. Are you speaking to the current team? Because what you just said there is like, hey, hard times during the season. Then we got hot and we started rolling. It was a revenge tour. Are you speaking to the boys?
Coach Bill Coward
I have to go up to Buffalo on Sunday for cbs. I gotta leave Saturday night. But I think the bottom line is some. Sometimes the depth of despair can take you to the heights of hope. And that's what we were able to go through. When you talk about losing three straight games in November, we lose seven and two, go to seven and five. Everybody's counting it out. Here's a great story. I'll share this with you, Pat, and we'll probably talk about it. I'm going to talk about Saturday night. We're getting ready on a Friday night that played the Cincinnati Bengals were a six seed. And, you know, Mr. Rooney comes into my office about 4 o' clock in the afternoon. Every. Everybody's gone. He says, coach, how are we doing? I go, mister, I think we're good. We had a good week. Work. I mean, Cincinnati, we know them well. I think we'll be okay. He goes, well, I want to give you something here. I go, well, listen. I go, what is it? He goes, so rosary beads. I go, I'm not even Catholic. He goes, just take him. I said, well, I Go, we don't need any luck. He said, coach, every little bit helps. So I said, okay. So I took him, put them in my pocket, and I sat there. And also in Indianapolis game, after Payton got that. Got that ball back after the drone fumble, I went in my pocket, I started holding that thing. I go, come on, baby, work your juju.
Peter Neverville
Come on, come on. Come on, baby.
Coach Bill Coward
So I held him, and we won that game. Bender checks lining up. I called time out. I went to my pocket. I go, okay, come on, baby. Come on. Rosary beads, misses. We go out to Denver. It's about, you know, 10 minutes before I'm shaking hands. We're coming in, right, getting ready to come to the huddle. I go, shoot. I ran into the huddle. I ran into the locker room. They go, where's coach going? Let's go to the bathroom. Is he nervous? I go, no. I go, I forgot rosary beads. So I had to go in there, got him back, put them in my pocket, and to this day, I still have them. I'm going to pull them out on Saturday night as I meet with some of the guys and just talk about the element of what happens with that football team. It started at the top. It trickles down. We were a special unit because we all had a degree of sacrifice, we all had a degree of commitment, and we all learned to trust one another and have each other's back. It wasn't our most talented team, but it was our closest team. And that's what I'm proud of. And so sometimes I sit there and say, no matter where you are, the depths of despair can take you to the heights of hope.
Peter Neverville
That's a bar right there, Coach. That's why you're a Hall of Famer. That's why we're proud to have you as a yinzer. And for front of the program, you're the man. And also the inspo for Tone Diggs on his beautiful Halloween.
Coach Bill Coward
Ladies, you made Tone. You made my Halloween, brother. I love it. Thank you.
Florida Man
You made my childhood coach, so thank you.
Peter Neverville
We love that. Ladies and gentlemen, Coach Bill Carr. Thank you, Coach. All right, let's take a break. On the other side. We'll make all our picks, then we'll get out of here on this Happy Halloween. Feel good. Friday, October 31, 2020, 25. What a day this has been.
Harry Potter
What a day.
Peter Neverville
Just popping that guy. Did you know it was coming?
Florida Man
I had a feeling.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, that was kind of pieced together there late. And Bill Cowers, I can't wait. So excited, so pumped he's actually pumped that you did that. Look at you. It's awesome winning people over. Because in the past, it's gone the opposite.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, gotta got fired. Pretty much.
Peter Neverville
People are doing that too. You ever show up late to the.
Heavenly Hulkster

Just like that friend who takes care of things before you even ask. AT&T connecting changes everything. Terms and conditions apply. Visit att.comguarantee for details. This is Kevin Clark for Manscaped.
Heavenly Hulkster
Fellas, it's time to step up your grooming game.
Peter Neverville
All right? I do this show three times a week. Every single time, I have to take grooming very, very seriously. Look back in the archives, guys. Look back and see the awful mustache I was trying to trot out last spring.
Heavenly Hulkster
I hate it.
Peter Neverville
The other day, I recirculated an interview with Drake May. I wanted to CGI it. I wanted to CGI the mustache it out. I wanted to AI it. I couldn't. The mustache was there. And now I've got a nice little stubble, perfect length. Going to have this for the rest of my life.
Heavenly Hulkster
Okay?
Peter Neverville
Very, very, very important. It's a part of confidence. It's a part of looking good. It's a part of being on TV. Manscape just leveled up with the Lawnmower 5 and the Chairman plus two powerhouses built for unmatched precision, comfort and control.

And now you can find Manscaped products at your local Walmart. Football Magical. And before we chit chat and give our picks for the weekend, we gotta say shout out to Zito and team for putting together the spooky, spooky, spooky Halloween decorations. They did a great job. And this is Skelly. This is the one that got taken. That's a local sports and weatherman, Edward Simpson. That was the Skelly that was taken and returned to AQ Shipley by those frat boys that Were taught a lesson in a hard time with 50 push ups while they were getting scolded on the streets.
Edward Simpson
Now, can you imagine if another group of frat boys come and take Skelly out of his yard after return? I'm just wondering if there's a rival frat that wants to come and take Skelly. Hopefully not.
Peter Neverville
So I think what had happened was from the messages that I seen from it, it was actually own frat turn in. And then also other frats saying we don't. That we don't want to do that. That ain't what we want to do.
Dan Orlovsky
Okay?
Peter Neverville
We don't want to be respected. Mr. Shipley, you know, the one guy actually, from what we've been told, actually said profusely to his group, no skeletons this year, boys. Okay? No skeletons this year. So these guys, whenever you talk about feeling bad, this group and then every group, every fraternity in his state, I heard from what I've been told, said that ain't how this is supposed to go. Not supposed to steal the daughter's favorite skeleton that's out front making it spooky season and celebrating Halloween in. Now they can smile again. And the boys return. It did the right thing. We, we salute them. Yeah, I do talk tables here at Harry Potter and Heavenly Hulk Hogan. Hulkster, what are your thoughts on Skelly getting stolen? That seems like a one way trip to hell, brother. They return it almost. Reverse uno card. Let's go ahead and send right back to heaven. Maybe. Is that how you think it'll be viewed by St. Peter?
Heavenly Hulkster
We'll see. He's a pretty tough critic. So I don't know. I think.
Edward Simpson
Really?
Heavenly Hulkster
Oh, I'm just saying.
Peter Neverville
He is. Yes.
Heavenly Hulkster
What you say? Yeah, well, you got something to say with that stupid looking haircut? Hey, I remember you said look like you said a couple hours ago, hey, I'm not being Tempe. In a couple years, your career's done, pal. You're gonna die in Toledo, Ohio doing some newscast that no one's watching. If you're a weatherman. I could, you know, Joe DiNardo, who may I just have, he's a lovely guy. So we got.
Peter Neverville
Has he made any of the gravy? You know.
Heavenly Hulkster
So I was just going to say we actually have an eclectic bunch that comes over to my house every Sunday night. You remember Big Tom Callahan?
Peter Neverville
Yes.
Heavenly Hulkster
Brian Dennehy. He's there. And then we got Regis Philbin.
Peter Neverville
Wow.
Heavenly Hulkster
D. Mutumbo.
Peter Neverville
What?
Heavenly Hulkster
And then, yeah, obviously Joe DiNardo comes over. It's one of those. No, no, Mongo McMichael Mago is by my hip wherever I go. He's one of the Horsemen, obviously. Obviously. You know, I mean he, me and him weren't exactly the tightest when we were in the wcw, but me and, me and Bongo, we see a lot. So yeah, he'll, he'll stop over for Sunday gravy every once in a while. It's kind of tough with, you know, Joe Nardaro. We didn't start out on the best foot because.
Peter Neverville
What?
Heavenly Hulkster
Well, my name is Terry Bellea. Okay. Guess who also knows how to make some Sunday gravy? The Hulkster does, dude. And I'm talking so much protein and oregano and you put Italian sausage, pork sausage, tomatoes. The freshest, obviously the freshest tomato. Well, that's one nice thing about being up here is the big guy don't around with produce. It's all the, it's so fresh everywhere you go. But yeah, you know, my Sunday gravy, obviously everybody loves it. They come from miles and miles around. Joe's gravy's pretty good too.
Peter Neverville
Okay.
Heavenly Hulkster
It's not bad.
Peter Neverville
Well, I'm happy to see you two pythons up there. Really making everybody happy. The one half of the Hammer, Dad Cowboys Coach Cower is here. Now let's dive in to the games here. Last night we were both on the Baltimore Ravens.
Edward Simpson
Yes.
Peter Neverville
Minus seven and a half. We get the win, which is not good, by the way, for the NFL. If both of us were on the Ravens and for us to win, then the game had to be obviously more than a one score difference at the end. It was. And Miami didn't look terrible at the beginning. Now, could have taken a field goal, could have made a field goal. That's thing could have been 14:12 at halftime. Okay. Instead it's 14:6. Then the second half goes how it goes. And inevitably the Baltimore Ravens is who everybody thought they could potentially be. They get a huge win on Thursday Night Football. We kind of forecasted that, did we not? Eddie Simpson?
Edward Simpson
Yeah, we did. We thought seven and a half was a lot, but we knew the Ravens were going to cover.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, and we like the Ravens going forward because you know who else likes the Ravens going forward? The sports books. Now let's not think about the sports books. Let's take a look see here at who the bottom public is on. You know, there's been quite a story to be told throughout this NFL season on who the public betting or the public money. Exactly. Is upon. 87% on the Lions hosting the Vikings. 88% on the Chargers traveling to the Tennessee Titans team that just got blown out by the Colts last week. 82% on the Broncos. Texans. That's only +1 1 1/2 though. So they're just thinking that they win the game even though the Houston Texans. Texans last week he looked unbelievable. Almost 80% on the Chargers at 78%. Same with the Seahawks when they're traveling to wash. That's a long way to go to be three point favorites. Patriots 77%. 75% on the Colts against the Steelers. Three and a half point spread there. Okay, a lot of people thinking the Colts offense is going to do what it's going to do, but maybe this is the game that kind of ignites that Pittsburgh Steelers team like the 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers who took a couple losses, then turned that into into motivation and then ran the table and they're going to be celebrating that in acrisure this weekend. That feels like a big deal. Jacksonville Jaguars getting 74%. Good for Liam Keller. Yeah, only 2 1/2. Yeah, only 2 1/4 point favorites, which is why maybe 74% are on that. But even traveling to the Raiders, the Jaguars as a whole, having that many people believe in them at that, congrats to him. Cowboys 68%. There might be $100 billion underneath the ground, so there's a chance that if they win or lose, it does not matter. Panthers taking on the Green Bay packers almost at 70% on the pack, minus 12 and a half. That's a huge spread. Bills favored by two and a half at home. 66% of the folks are saying, listen, I've seen what this regular season matchup looks like in the past and the Bills win that. And then the Bengals at 60% over the Bears and the Niners at 64% over the Giants. All right, so that's where the public lies. We will certainly need to be reminded as we go through here and pick each one of these games individually. Let's start with the Broncos at the Texans. Broncos getting a lot of the money. Texans favored by one and a half down there in Houston. Edward Simpson, A.J. hawk, who do you like? How do you like it?
Edward Simpson
So do we Tone, do we not want to be on the public side?
Florida Man
Actually, you know, at the beginning of the year you did not.
Peter Neverville
But beginning of the year, like first six weeks.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yes, yes.
Florida Man
The first six, seven, seven weeks. The last two weeks, the public has been a lot better.
Nick Saban
Better.
Florida Man
This last weekend there, including last night there, it's a 6 and 6 run on teams getting 60% or more again.
Peter Neverville
So you're not winning. So it first seven weeks it was you're not getting demolished and then it's become little maybe maybe the public spot.
Florida Man
Monday night and then last night the they were both 70% so is it.
Peter Neverville
Starting to become too obvious with the string of games that we've had for the first time since 1970 let's see.
Edward Simpson
If we have these big any blowouts like a whole slate of poopy games again.
Peter Neverville
Now the favorites did a big time W fest last weekend. A lot of the favorites just blew out the teams that weren't supposed to be good. Houston Texans favored over the Broncos at home. CJ Stroud had a good week last week. Denver Broncos are who everybody thinks they are. I think the Denver Broncos coming in season at super bowl hopes. Go ahead Con.
Harry Potter
Yeah massive losses. No certain this week. He's now out for four to six weeks with that strange peck.
Peter Neverville
That's a big deal.
Harry Potter
Definitely changed a lot. The under here is definitely nice.
Edward Simpson
I was I was leaning somewhat heavy Broncos. You know what with how CJ Stroud and they are playing with a certain out Give me the Texans.
Peter Neverville
Okay, I'll take the Texans as well. Falcons Patriots Patriots favored by five and a half at home. Any super duper lighter uppers happening up there in New England?
Harry Potter
I'm not sure about the super duper light later uppers. I know quarterback Lawrence Guy.
Peter Neverville
He did it last week.
Harry Potter
Yeah. QB presser King dude.
Peter Neverville
He is a dog. Larry Guy, former teammate of mine. Absolutely.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah.
Edward Simpson
Green Bay legend.
Harry Potter
Green Bay as well. This is a great matchup for New England. They haven't allowed a 50 yard rusher yet. And even with Pennock's back and Drake London and Drake London is still kind of questionable. Christian Gonzalez is the best player on New England. He'll he'll take out Drake London. So I I actually do really like the Patriots here which I again might be a really really bad sign. No Ramon Dre Stevenson. So Trevion Henderson, second round pick at Ohio State now kind of becomes a premier guy. Very excited to watch it.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, he's a great player. Holster this Treveon Henderson. He's an absolute dog whenever we last saw him play. Now he's potentially going to get the the load if you will of the runs for this Patriots team. Falcons lose to the Dolphins pretty bad.
Nick Saban
Real bad.
Peter Neverville
But they're like this, aren't they?
Florida Man
They are, yeah.
Peter Neverville
I literally said game was it two weeks ago. I think it was Michigan. I was like Michigan Is like this. So this is literally what Michigan is like. Last week they were like this. So this week that means they're going to be like this. Only reason why I picked them. Literally the only reason why I picked them, Falcons kind of like that as well. Wouldn't this be like the bad week to face the Falcons with how their season has gone Hulkster?
Heavenly Hulkster
Well, I think that's why if you're a Patriots fan, you're very excited to watch this game because yeah, conventional wisdom would say, hey, is the week the Falcons are going to perform. Dude, they've kind of been horseshit every other week. Kirk Cousins ain't playing. Listen, I love Kirk. Might be time to stick a fork in that guy.
Peter Neverville
What?
Heavenly Hulkster
He might be done.
Peter Neverville
Fork in Kirk?
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, I think so. Especially when you're paid him 28 million. Man, what a bad idea that was. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because you got, you got the young guy peddocks. He looks pretty good. But if you're a Patriots fan, this is the week where you could kind of emphatically say, hey, we're really to going good team. We're supposed to get, you know, Atlanta's best shot. And if we go out there and just go belt to ass beat the piss out of them, then yeah, yeah, we are the kids cousins going to.
Peter Neverville
Get a pair of those Kirk cousins, without a doubt.
Heavenly Hulkster
I, you know, I, I, I don't do too much of that stuff. You know, getting the predictive markets of wed. Certain people are going to be up there. But yeah, you know, just in kind of passing conversation, St. Peter has said, I'll tell you what. What? I really like the cut of that. Kirk does his jib. I don't know if he's gonna get the 23 inch, you know, wigs. He might be more of a 16 to 80, 18 inch guy, but I guess we'll see.
Peter Neverville
What are normal python sizes compared to yours, let alone the wings? I know you got bigger wings, but what are normal pythons?
Heavenly Hulkster
I usually don't even keep track because the holsters are so big. Usually I'd say, I don't know, you know, 11 to 12 inches like AJ Hawks here.
Peter Neverville
You're a 23 inch Pythons.
Heavenly Hulkster
Go ahead and give a flex for me, son.
Edward Simpson
I can't reach my arm.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, I can tell. Yeah, I mean, what is it, 12, you know, hookster's basically doubling up. AJ Hulk.
Peter Neverville
No way. Yeah, I believe I'm here.
Heavenly Hulkster
I don't think, Well, I don't know actually can you hit. Hit me with one of these.
Edward Simpson
No, I'm all right.
Heavenly Hulkster
Then go yourself. Dude, you suck. I'm not done. I'm not done with you.
Edward Simpson
So you're in heaven.
Peter Neverville
You're not supposed to.
Heavenly Hulkster
How many times have I said boo? I do whatever the I want, baby. I am a real American. F. How does anyone else react to him up there? I would imagine they don't love you.
Peter Neverville
He's got those.
Edward Simpson
There's no way they can love this up there.
Peter Neverville
Platinum card. He said those are the platinum card.
Heavenly Hulkster
You ever heard of a black Amex, dude? Amx. Amex, yeah. That's basically what these are. They ain't getting declined anywhere.
Edward Simpson
With that being said, I'll take the Patriots.
Heavenly Hulkster
Okay. Good pick.
Peter Neverville
I'll flex those muscles with the Patriots as well. Hogster, I love it.
Heavenly Hulkster
You guys are on one today. Dude. What spread?
Harry Potter
Five, Bill.
Peter Neverville
Five and a half.
Florida Man
Five and a half.
Harry Potter
It's big, Bill. That's a big spread.
Peter Neverville
We do have some stats on size of biceps. We looked them up and this is what Ant had to say. There's three different degrees of biceps. There's untrained male, that's 13 to 14 inches. What I think you were trying to say Hulster to aj. There's an active man, you know, maybe a runner, a mover, but not necessarily a lifter. 14 to 16 inch Bythons. And then bodybuilders, obviously they got 16, 20 inches. But we know that's not true because the top end of that thing is 20 is the roof. Hulkster is more than just a bodybuilder. He's got 23 inch pythons. But what AI saying is what you got strapped to your shoulders right now, not normal Hulkster.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, exactly. They actually forgot. And it's not, you know. Yeah, there is bodybuilders. And then there's one more category, and it's the Hulkster. And guess who sits in that category? The Hulkster. And nobody else. Okay, maybe big black. I know he had. You know, which again. Lovely guy. Lovely guy.
Peter Neverville
Robin. Big.
Edward Simpson
Hanging out with him.
Heavenly Hulkster
Well, I don't know. What do you think? I just said he's a lovely guy.
Nick Saban
So.
Heavenly Hulkster
So do you think.
Edward Simpson
You didn't say he's over for the cooking?
Heavenly Hulkster
Maybe I said it. You know how much time I got to kill up here?
Peter Neverville
All of it.
Heavenly Hulkster
How much you could do.
Peter Neverville
Okay. I'm happy to hear that, by the way. We're all happy to hear that.
Harry Potter
He looked like he had some 23s on him. Wouldn't that. Wouldn't that count?
Peter Neverville
Hardy, did you wake up on the wrong side of a truck bed this morning? Cucumber, come. Can you let the Hulkster maybe come see what he thinks the size of the biceps the. The pythons are in right now.
Harry Potter
What category is that?
Peter Neverville
I'll tell you what. Debone is living his best life.
Edward Simpson
He looks great.
Peter Neverville
He's living his best life. Hardy said that was sick. Okay?
Heavenly Hulkster
They really.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. I just want to let you know that, Debone, I think there's a nod of approval from Hardy there. Hulkster, if you had to look and eyeball these pythons, what would you be saying there? That's what I'm talking about. Hey, can you back up just a little bit? Back up just a little. No, like that way? Yeah, cuz Java's kind of.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
What do you think there, Hulkster?
Heavenly Hulkster
I tell you what, I like the cut of this young man's jib. It's just the only thing I'm really noticing is the 53 inch waist. That's the only thing that my eyes are going to. So 42, that's not bad. But we need to trim that down a little bit. Aren't you only like 25? Dude, come on, get healthy, bro.
Peter Neverville
He's a D3 national champion.
Heavenly Hulkster
I know, but you know what he also did? He said, well, I need a solo cup for my costume. Yeah, get one over on the Hulkster. I've seen how many Dr. Peppers you've been drinking today. Dude, he's been just emptying.
Peter Neverville
That's Halloween, Hulster. We're supposed to celebrate. That's what we're here for. You know, we're having c. What's your favorite candy, Hulkster?
Heavenly Hulkster
Call me crazy. I'm a good and plenty guy. Yeah, yeah, I agree. You like those two?
Edward Simpson
Yeah, I do.
Heavenly Hulkster
I knew I liked you. No, but it's. It's one of those things. Things where I. I get it is Halloween. We should celebrate. Do we need to be drinking 1612 ounce Dr. Peppers before 3 o' clock in the afternoon? I don't think so. He's not gonna be honest with us. I know how much candy that guy's eating tonight, okay?
Peter Neverville
He needs to enjoy it, obviously. Especially with the text from Hardy.
Heavenly Hulkster
Well, yeah, he's having a hell of a day. You look good, brother.
Peter Neverville
How do you think about his U ball performances lately? Have you seen him?
Heavenly Hulkster
I did saw him yesterday. He needs to get rid of the. I mean, I know he became a pioneer. Thought that was a big deal. I haven't seen him make one of them in like two weeks. And he starts shooting the U ball. Shoot the U ball, son. Okay.
Peter Neverville
Happy Halloween, Hardy.
Heavenly Hulkster
Happy Halloween, dude.
Peter Neverville
Man, we had no idea how this.
Coach Bill Coward
Was going to go.
Heavenly Hulkster
I had a pretty good idea.
Peter Neverville
I'm happy to hear that. Both on the Patriots. Yeah, that makes everybody happy out here, no matter what the waste or the pythons are. Carolina Panthers. Green Bay packers. Packers favored by 12 and a half. Any other lines out there, Tone?
Florida Man
There actually is.
Peter Neverville
Sorry, coach.
Florida Man
You could get anywhere from 13 and a half if you want the Panthers down to that 12 and a half if you're on the pack.
Peter Neverville
Okay, so you can add an extra. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has no injury designation for Sunday, meaning he's good to go versus the Packers. Says Adam Shane after Bryce Young back getting a lot of points if you want them in Lambo, man.
Edward Simpson
12 and a half points. What. What do they know that we don't know? I know the packers are good. I know Jordan Love is good. But I think the Panthers are pretty good too. With. With Bryce in there, I'll.
Peter Neverville
I'll pick the Panthers plus 13 and a half. Is that what I'll take? Panthers plus 13 and a half.
Edward Simpson
Give me the packers, actually. What's that old buck 12 and a half, right? Yeah, give me the Packers. Micah. Micah's heating up. What do you have? How many sacks last game?
Heavenly Hulkster
Just one.
Peter Neverville
You're saying no back door cover because Micah at the end of the game, that what you're saying? Micah is kind of a backdoor cover machine.
Dan Orlovsky
For real.
Edward Simpson
That's when he. That's when they feast. That's when you get those sacks.
Peter Neverville
That's a great point, actually. Like, that is. That is something to think about here because in my mind it's like, Bryce Young, good player. Bryce Young, good player. Carolina Panthers, good team. We think, like not ass like that. Four and four. Yeah, we think they're a good team. Going into the season. I don't think anybody had any expectations because the Carolina Panthers and everything like that, but they are a good team. And I think they're only going to continue to be a good, good team in that NFC South. 13 points feels like a lot of points. That just feels like a lot of points for that team.
Heavenly Hulkster
This strikes me as a recency bias type deal because the Panthers did not look good last week. And granted it was Andy Dalton, he basically came out afterward and said, like, I didn't tell anybody, but I had a broken thumb the entire time. So not easy to play quarterback. We got broken thumb, dude. But then you also look at the packers big time emotional win. You know, Jordan Love looked unbelievable. He was the, the FedEx Air Player of the week. So maybe that's you know, getting into this a little bit.
Peter Neverville
How'd you know he's. You pay attention all the.
Heavenly Hulkster
I read the tabloids quite a bit. You know, just check in, see what's going on and maybe, I don't know, maybe I have a little say in who, who's going to win. You know, these. That's FedEx Air Air Player of the week. I also am big. I kind of spearheaded the who's the Pepsi Rookie of the week. That was also one of the holsters kind of big moves that this week. Ah, I don't know. Probably I'm trying to think rookie off the top of my head. I don't know Tyler Ward probably that some wins it every week. So maybe him. This strikes me as a game that the packers win by 10 though. I. I'm right there with you. I don't. Man, that's a tough number.
Peter Neverville
13'S a lot.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
All right, good for me with the Panthers. Hopefully I look like a smart guy with that pick as opposed to. To just not going with the obvious. The packers are very good and maybe we're not showing them enough respect in the conversation of what can happen in the nfc, but the sportsbooks like where they're at. Okay, let's go with the Chargers traveling to Tennessee Chargers 9 1/2 point favorites against Tennessee Titans team that just got decimated by the Indianapolis Colts. I'll say this from watching this team. Cam Ward's electrifying. He is electrifying. Now I don't know how much of it is like hey this is sustainable in NFL because he's making like these nasty. We've over top of linebacker in front of a safety guy running 20 miles an hour across the field, perfect throws under duress. I mean he's doing that's like outrageous with that and their team stinks. So if the team was to get very good you would assume that Cam Ward becomes guy like everybody else. But then you know they're going to get caught into a who's coach, when's coach, who's coach, when's coach if they don't figure out that out. So I'm very worried about potentially Cam Ward's entire career, especially with the glimpse that we saw in person at the Loud House this past weekend. On that note, Colts steamrolled them. Yeah. And Colts are a very, very, very good football team. So I think Outside of Indianapolis, outside the Colts fan base, everybody says, well, this Titan team must be ass if the Colts did that to him. It's like this Colts team, best team in football right now. And the Titans have ruled out Calvin Ridley again. Jeffrey Simmons again. They weren't playing last week. Arden Key and Xavier woods for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Go ahead, con man.
Harry Potter
I would just look at all four of those guys to be traded by Monday like that. That is the one thing going into this weekend that's interesting is all these poopy teams, the guys who aren't playing, they just seem to be type. Types of guys that might get moved.
Peter Neverville
Okay. So that's potentially a decision like, let's not get hurt. Let's get. Not get these guys hurt. We know where we're at. We know it's possible and good business could potentially to be get rid of some of our good parts so that we can build this thing in the future around Cam Ward. Not that those guys wouldn't be helping him, but also getting rid of your best players is telling the entire fan base like, yeah, it's going to be a wall.
Edward Simpson
Two months, the regular season left too. It's crazy.
Harry Potter
Yeah. Already. Already fired their coach and Jeff Simmons has been, you know, hurt for a little, so it might. It might also just be a lingering.
Peter Neverville
And Ridley as well.
Harry Potter
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
So he was out last week at least. So, you know, the Colts, people around the Colts, people in the building. We're expecting the Colts to beat the hell of the Titans. They were like, we should beat the hell out of this team. They're hurt too. Like, it's not. It's not good.
Harry Potter
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
And then they go out and do that. It's like, hell yeah. On the other side, if you're a Titans fan, that's not good to hear from the Indianapolis Colts saying that.
Edward Simpson
No, it's not. I was actually going to lean Titans for a little bit on this game. And then obviously seeing Jeffrey Simmons, all these guys still out now.
Peter Neverville
Give me the Chargers Cam special.
Edward Simpson
Watching them, though, I remember in camp what he was doing, like when he. From the day he stepped on into that franchise, like into the building there, they. It was unbelievable. Everything about him.
Peter Neverville
But the offense needs to. He's got a new offense coming, another one coming already into his NFL career. Don't we all think, though, that, like, NFL, to win, the offense has to be like on time, scripted. Everything has to be like that. Cam's obviously going to continue to develop and kind of get in that because you think about back to Miami. There was some magic happening all over the place. Him and Restrepo were connected at the hip, seemingly as they were dominating everybody. A lot of football gods blessing them as well. I'm sure you see the football gods up there running around all the time.
Heavenly Hulkster
We meet every Wednesday night.
Peter Neverville
Dude, Wednesdays, because there's no games on. And then is that why the football gods are kind of freed up or.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, typically they'll come over. Obviously they love real American beer as well. So, you know, they'll. They'll have a couple pots with me and. Yeah, we kind of just chat about the league as a whole. Hey, look, for this thing this weekend, Hulkster football guy's gonna bless them.
Peter Neverville
Oh. So it's kind of like inside information you're getting on what the games are going to happen happen on most hooks. I didn't know that was happening up there. Did you know that, Ed?
Edward Simpson
I had no clue.
Peter Neverville
It's crazy, especially with what's going on down here.
Edward Simpson
Who's your favorite player? You got a couple favorite players, like.
Heavenly Hulkster
Two or three, like currently. Are we talking like all current right now?
Edward Simpson
Who are your favorite current players in the league right now?
Heavenly Hulkster
Right now. I mean, I like the cut of that Dan Jones's jib. I really do. I like that guy a lot, man. Who else do I like?
Edward Simpson
Probably Cooper De Jean. I could see you liking him.
Heavenly Hulkster
I love him, obviously. Obviously. Reed Blankenship, love him. Riley Moss, love him. I mean, I could. I honestly, I could just go Patrick Ricard.
Edward Simpson
Don't you?
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah. I love that he's healthy. I maybe knew that a couple weeks ago, what week he was coming back. Dude, maybe you like Lamar a lot. I actually. You know what? I have come around Alamar. I was a big. This guy's a running back playing quarterback.
Peter Neverville
A lot of people are saying.
Heavenly Hulkster
A lot of people are saying that that guy's quarterback.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, he's unbelievable. There's a couple of throws last night. I mean, you're talking like, yeah, seeds on the run, just doing insane stuff. Him being able to do that after pulling the ping pong tables and everything. He's special guy. Let's go to the next game. Let's go. Chargers, Titans, who do you officially take?
Edward Simpson
I am taking the Chargers.
Peter Neverville
Me as well. Let's go to San Francisco 49ers taking on the New York Giants. Niners favored by two and a half heading into to MetLife Stadium. Who do you like? How do you like it? AJ2.
Edward Simpson
Am I what? What am I missing here? Only two and a half. Should it be more?
Peter Neverville
I mean, I guess Texans had like 98. I guess San Fran last week.
Heavenly Hulkster
Very spread.
Peter Neverville
No bosa on the defensive side. Go ahead.
Harry Potter
One o' clock game for a West coast team on the East Coast.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, you just add that into all the other Giants. Yeah, I'll take the Giants as well. I think we're seeing it the same. That might be recency by. From what we just saw from the Niners, but it was not good.
Edward Simpson
I'm seeing Jackson dark window here.
Heavenly Hulkster
I was watching on the pad McAfee and I saw the boys actually liked us to win. That's pretty lit, dog.
Edward Simpson
He's not going to like this.
Peter Neverville
And we're wearing the.
Heavenly Hulkster
We're wearing the best jerseys in football as well. I. I got potted up for you right there.
Edward Simpson
Boom.
Heavenly Hulkster
Oh, those are color rushes.
Peter Neverville
Those are much nicer than the, you know, we saw on Sunday night.
Florida Man
Yeah, the all yellow. The Chargers were.
Peter Neverville
They tried to take your gimmick almost.
Harry Potter
Yeah.
Heavenly Hulkster
And there's a reason everybody hates that, because they look at yellow and they associate that with Hulkamania, brother. Now and forevermore.
Peter Neverville
Amen.
Heavenly Hulkster
I'm a real American. Fight for your ride. Fight for your life.
Peter Neverville
Dude, Wednesday nights with the football gods have to be so much fun.
Heavenly Hulkster
They're the best.
Edward Simpson
Dude, I couldn't even get a band up there. You playing bass up there still?
Heavenly Hulkster
Do you. Did you even listen to anything I said earlier? The Hulkster doesn't need to play the bass. When you got Ozzy Osbourne and Meatloaf and guys like that coming up and saying, hey, Hulks, are you about to sit down? I'll do. I would do anything for love right now. Guess what. Yes, you will. Meatloaf, take the stage.
Harry Potter
Dude, who are your favorite players that are up there now with you? From the NFL.
Heavenly Hulkster
For the NFL. Now, I was gonna say. No, don't make. I'm not prepared for this question, and I don't want to get any guys pissed off.
Peter Neverville
Yes.
Heavenly Hulkster
Because guess what? We're not talking about these guys when they pass. We're talking about, you know, mean, lean fighting machines from when they're in their mid-20s.
Peter Neverville
Oh, so that's the answer. So that's what you show up as your best version of.
Heavenly Hulkster
If you want to. If you want, you have options. Yeah, you. You know, if you wanted to be like Marlon Brando for. For example. Yeah, obviously. He was the Godfather. He was Doc Corleone. He gained like 150 pounds when he was in Apocalypse now. Basically just turned into Like a fat slob. When he got up to heaven, he said, nah, it. I want to be the fat slob version of me. And everyone was like, marlon, you're the man, dude. So, know, it's kind of. It's kind of dealer's choice. It's up to you.
Peter Neverville
You're. We're breaking a lot of news on what I try.
Heavenly Hulkster
You know, not everyone's fortunate enough to get up there, brother.
Peter Neverville
That's the. The Fu Manchu. Very strong. That it makes sense now, especially with how big the biceps are that you pick the best version. This is the greatest Hulkster that you had the entire run, you think?
Heavenly Hulkster
I think you could argue that again when I was, you know, running hot with Nash and. And hall in, you know, like, 95.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, but you could be NWO.
Heavenly Hulkster
Exactly. You can't be a heel up there, because nobody's gonna walk over to your house, dude. Nobody's gonna want to come to Hogan's hangout.
Peter Neverville
A lot of baby faces up there.
Heavenly Hulkster
A lot of baby faces up there. Exactly. So, you know, it's like, could I do. And every once in a while, I will. You know, I'll grow the. The black beard back. And just to see what people will do, I'll stroll.
Peter Neverville
They got paint up there.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, well, you know, not really paint. I'll just wake up and be like, hey, St. Peter, I want to look like Hollywood Hulk Hogan today. Just happens immediately. And I'll. Sometimes I'll just walk right down the main strip, you know, kind of. Remember, people. Yeah. Hulk still got that fastball, too.
Peter Neverville
Yes, he does. Yes, he does. Vikings at Lions. Lions favored by nine and a half at home against the Vikings, interesting conversations around the Vikings were had earlier today by us.
Heavenly Hulkster
Oh, yeah.
Peter Neverville
But with the trade deadline looming and no answers, really, for some teams, especially teams that were, like, in contention to be the number one seed in the NFC just last year and have a lot of, you know, questions still at very important, like J.J. mcCarthy's guy. Okay, sounds good. We appreciate that. Saw him do a shed drill.
Heavenly Hulkster
Sprawl.
Peter Neverville
Shed sprawl drill last week, so we're assuming he's getting healthier to be back there. Trade deadline Tuesday. Who knows who's buying, buying, who's selling, who's making massive moves. We assume somebody will. But the Vikings, vastly different place than we thought they were going to be in. And the Lions also, if you ask Schrager, going into the year, you lose both coordinators. I don't think it's going to be as good of a year. Let's go ahead and just completely reverse that. The Lions sitting where the brand new Lions have been sitting now. Foxy 9 and a half point favorites at home. How do you feel about it? Yeah, Lions coming off the bye week, by the way. And if you remember two weeks ago we we played the Bucks secondary was absolutely ravaged. We're getting Teriann Arnold back, we're getting Brian Branch back, but Kirby Joseph, D.J. reed still out. But J.J. mcCarthy homecoming game. When the Lions are favored by a lot at home over the last two, three years, they tend to cover the spread. So I'll just leave you guys with that. Okay, con man, which way do you lean in this particular match?
Harry Potter
It feels as though it's going to going to be a panic in Minnesota on Monday and the Lions might be kind of hitting their stride a bit here. So I'm definitely, I love the lines.
Peter Neverville
Coach Cower, you're. You like mcdc. I think you see a lot of yourself potentially in the way he operates. What do you think about this?
Florida Man
Love mcdc Divisional game. I took the Lions, you get them at minus eight and a half. I just don't like the the vibes.
Heavenly Hulkster
Going on in Minnesota right now.
Peter Neverville
Ed Simpson, what are your thoughts?
Edward Simpson
I like the Lions here too. I can get him an eight and a half. You say Tone?
Heavenly Hulkster
Yep.
Peter Neverville
Yeah.
Edward Simpson
My. I mean this is going to be. Can you imagine the environment? What time is it?
Peter Neverville
Noon or 1 o'?
Coach Bill Coward
Clock?
Florida Man
1 o'.
Heavenly Hulkster
Clock?
Edward Simpson
1 o' clock game.
Peter Neverville
Okay.
Edward Simpson
It's still going to be a raucous environment. I know if Kid Rock is playing halftime but either way that place is going to be going.
Peter Neverville
He. He did his costume the other day.
Edward Simpson
He did?
Peter Neverville
Yeah. Jeez. The. I'll take the lines. Let's go to the next one. Colts verse Steelers. I liked Colts my three and a half over there. In actual. The only worry is that that spray painted dirt might be going too fast into people's eyes. As Jonathan Taylor is doing his thing against that Pittsburgh Steelers defense, he's going to pop off at least one or two long ones. I mean that's just what the Colts have been doing and have, you know, kind of consistently shown to be who they are. Explosive plays in the run game and then also Danny Dimes doing his thing. Only three and a half. Coach Coward, did you expect that or did you think it was going to be a little bit more. And on that that note, only three and a half is being said about the Indianapolis Colts in 2025. Heading in to play on the road.
Florida Man
Favorites Yeah, I. I thought it was going to be more. You can get minus three if you want. Not that you're going to need it. Jonathan Taylor's gonna have one or two of those runs. A drive.
Harry Potter
2Ts drive.
Peter Neverville
What is it? The depths of despair can take you to the heights of.
Heavenly Hulkster
Of hope.
Florida Man
Coach ain't walking through that door.
Peter Neverville
He is.
Heavenly Hulkster
He is not.
Peter Neverville
He's going.
Florida Man
He's going to speak to the team on Saturday. Not this current team. The team that won Super bowl in 2005. Colts haven't won it in Pittsburgh since 2008. I assume that's going to change.
Nick Saban
Wow. I'm.
Edward Simpson
I'm thinking they won a game in Pittsburgh since 2000.
Peter Neverville
Really? Lot of hard times. Indianapolis Colts versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. For my particular era of Indianapolis Colts time, hard time. Big games for the Pittsburgh Steelers have come against Indianapolis Colts. Everybody's playing the best football that they've ever played in their life against Indianapolis Colts for the Pittsburgh Steelers, including Troy Palmalu, who just has a sense to do everything wrong in a moment where he needs to go left, he goes right. Somehow.
Florida Man
I love that, man. But a lot of people on the Internet are saying, like, this could be in Texas A and M versus LSU situation where it's a blowout, the stadium's empty in the fourth quarter. Rooney's looking around like, oh, we need to make a change. I don't know.
Peter Neverville
That's what you were just saying about Minnesota. We got a couple of those coming down the pipe. Down the pipe here for the NFL. I like the Colts minus three and a half. AJ Your thoughts on the game and who you like?
Edward Simpson
Yeah, I like the Colts minus three and a half. I. I mean, does the Steelers defense figure it out? I don't. I don't think this is the week to. To figure it out against Danny Jones and Jonathan Taylor. So now give me the Colts.
Peter Neverville
Okay, so you like the Colts minus three and a half. Do you think quarterback for the Steelers are going to be mad at Edward Simpson for picking the Colts in this.
Edward Simpson
Particular game if he ever became aware of the pick of Ed Simpson?
Heavenly Hulkster
Sure.
Edward Simpson
I'm sure he'd, you know, have a snarky remark.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, I think there probably would be.
Florida Man
Oh, yeah.
Heavenly Hulkster
It's cool, bro.
Edward Simpson
That's cool.
Peter Neverville
Lose some hope. Lose some hope. I saw a good Halloween party coming out of Pittsburgh.
Coach Bill Coward
I heard about.
Florida Man
I heard about it, too.
Peter Neverville
Boy. Celebrate. That's good news. Couple losses, maybe don't want to be around each other. Why are we spending time. They do Halloween, maybe that changes it in on the other side of the field, the Indianapolis Colts. Yeah. They had max participation at the Halloween party and they're having good times.
Dan Orlovsky
Yeah.
Heavenly Hulkster
Love that move. That. That's an elite move.
Peter Neverville
I didn't know that move still existed.
Heavenly Hulkster
Me neither.
Peter Neverville
In 2025, my. From what I've been told at team gathering, social media. Sorry, camaraderie, building gathering.
Nick Saban
Sure.
Peter Neverville
From what I have been told from Colts. One of players. Okay. On team. Not just on team in general. Two cups, drinks. Okay.
Edward Simpson
Yeah.
Peter Neverville
Maybe found one, made another one, had one from earlier, found where it was. Okay. Now you have two or just straight up? I'll take two, please.
Edward Simpson
Here.
Peter Neverville
Because I won't come back here with a lot of people or whatever the case is. And allegedly somebody's coming up to leave. Person puts one beer in other beer. Okay. Starts flowing, daps up. So have a good one. Takes beer out, drinks immediately from both beers. Keeps the conversation moving. When you have that type of happening.
Edward Simpson
Yes.
Peter Neverville
In your team. Boy, this is dangerous. Indianapolis. Every story I hear coming out of that place, I'm like, whoa. And Bill Coward just told the story about the Pittsburgh Steelers team, how he said it wasn't our best team, but we were definitely the tightest. That was the tightest team team we've had. This Colts team, I think, is very, very, very, very, very tight. And that's a wonderful thing to have. And it's very obvious whenever they play, it's very obvious that they know each other and that they understand what the hell is going on.
Edward Simpson
And it just took Danny Dimes, the guy, to kind of bring them all together. Like his.
Florida Man
He.
Edward Simpson
He does have a very, like, calming demeanor. And he's also in charge. Like, I. I love what he does.
Peter Neverville
And they have a confidence in him knowing what he's doing. I think, you know, like, he's the first one that hopefully that there'll be some consistency over the last long time because there's living a lot turnover. We shall see. Danny Dimes is cooking, though. It's going to be fun to see if he can do a little get back for about 10 years of Colts. Steelers football this weekend. Bears taking on the Bengals, 1pm on CBS. Over. Under 51 and a half. Okay, 51 and a half. That's big boy offense stuff, they're saying. Bears favored by 2 1/2 heading into the Cincinnati Bengals, who have had three players in, like, the last week, ask for a trade. One of them being released and heading back to another team. That team celebrating here, him coming back as if he was Doing hard time somewhere else. Let's talk about Bears, Bengals, Tone, any other numbers there? And who is the percentage on for this one again?
Florida Man
So it's two and a half across the board. 60% is actually on the Bengals for this one.
Heavenly Hulkster
And yeah, he's got a sprained AC.
Harry Potter
Joint in his throwing shoulder. He was day to day super painful.
Florida Man
And they just, they just activated Sean Clifford, I beef quarter quarterback who was on the packers to the practice squad and then. Oh boy, DeAndre.
Peter Neverville
What?
Florida Man
He's good.
Heavenly Hulkster
I just hope for Bagels fans you not want to see 4/4 of shelf Clifford football. You don't, dude, you don't. Okay.
Peter Neverville
Why not? You don't know.
Heavenly Hulkster
I do know.
Peter Neverville
No, you don't know.
Florida Man
This was the last great Penn State quarterback.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, it was Zach Taylor a long time.
Heavenly Hulkster
They ever fucking win anything? Penn State? No, listen, he's a great dude.
Peter Neverville
In 16, was he there?
Heavenly Hulkster
I don't remember. He was there for 10 years, so he might have been in some capacity.
Peter Neverville
Oh, I forgot. He did play.
Heavenly Hulkster
He was there for like 10 years. Yeah, which is why you came in. Packers backup quarterback. He was like six years older. Jordan Lovey I drafted like two years later. He's like, the hell's going on here, dude? So they got rid of him. You basically need to you trade for Flacco. Your season's going to go down the pooper if you don't win this game. You need to play Flacco. Listen, I know it's not great, but if his arm falls off, it falls off. That's how Jode want it.
Peter Neverville
Is Caleb a guy Harry or not?
Heavenly Hulkster
Who would you compare him to?
Harry Potter
I mean, in my, in my world.
Heavenly Hulkster
He'S got a little bit of Malfoy in him.
Harry Potter
You look around that class, it's, it's hard to say. He's one of the, one of the top guys.
Peter Neverville
No, hold on. With Ben Johnson. They're cooking now. Bad news because when the run game got going for the Chicago Bears, they really started rolling on the offensive side. DeAndre Swift is out Sunday versus the Bengals due to a groin injury. Groin. Not great for running back, not great for any explosive position. We hope DeAndre Swift gets healthy on the other side of it. You like the Bears of the Bengals, AJ Bears going in as two and a half point favorites. Into the jungle.
Edward Simpson
I don't love the Joe Flacco situation. AC joint, that's one of the, one of the few you can shoot up with like lidocaine. They can try to numb it for the game. They Some teams will do that, but I will take the Chicago Bears on this.
Peter Neverville
Actually, I will take Chicago Bears as well. Jaguars, Raiders. You like Liam Cohen or you like Tom Brady? Potentially making massive plays before trade deadline.
Edward Simpson
Give me Liam Cohen in the Jags.
Peter Neverville
Me as well. New Orleans Saints take it on the Los Angeles Rams. Rams favored by 14 and a half. I know that'll get Frozone jacked up around here. Frozone's gonna have to. You're gonna be able to see his excitement through the Frozone costume, potentially.
Florida Man
You get 14 if you want.
Peter Neverville
Okay. You can get 14 if you like the Rams. Are you gonna do that? Who's H? That was Frozone in the back. Yeah, we're able to catch it.
Harry Potter
If Hulkster mentioned Sean Clifford. Tyler Shuck's about to get destroyed by this Rams defense. They're. They're fresh off the buy and they just before the buy beat the out of the Jaguars.
Peter Neverville
So Tyler Shuck played a lot of football in college. He's been there, done that. He has seen it. You talk about shit, Sean Clifford playing a lot of college ball. Tyler Shuck as well. And they talked about him being drafted. Well, why'd you draft him that late if he's going to be your starting quarterback? Well, he wasn't going to start season, obviously. They had Rattler in there and then now Rattler's out. Tyler Shuck coming in. I think Kelly Mo believes this is potentially a guy that was the convo going in. We shall see against this Rams defense that has been hungry and eating. The young boys are very good over there. I like the Rams -14.
Edward Simpson
Yeah, I like the Rams -14. 14 as well.
Peter Neverville
Okay. Kansas City Chiefs taking on The Buffalo Bills 52 1/2 point over under Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes always perform against each other very well. Two and a half points are what the Chiefs heading into Buffalo are favorited as. How do you feel about it, AJ Is there any other lines or any other piece of information we should know? Tone?
Florida Man
Yeah, that two and a half actually just disappeared. So you can get the Chiefs minus one and a half or you can get the Bills at plus two.
Peter Neverville
Okay, so, AJ Whenever you think about this game, what are your first thoughts?
Edward Simpson
Like I said earlier, this seems like one of those games where the Beals might find a way to win at home and then the Chiefs get them later when it really matters. But I have a feeling, I think the Chiefs continue to roll. Give me the Chiefs minus one and a half.
Peter Neverville
Okay, on that note, there's A little piece of news coming from the back room. Pacheco has not practiced. Here's the injury report for the Kansas City Chiefs. Josh Simon, Isaiah Pacheco, nee did not participate on Wednesday or on Thursday. All eyes will be on Pacheco here on this Friday. Now, what they're listed as at practice. Big storyline. Yeah, big storyline. Because we all thought what we saw last night with Lamar Jackson was actually coming back on Sunday and then all of a sudden that wasn't the case. And we all knew, though, we all knew that what Lamar was going to do. Yeah, we all knew what he was going to do. Ravens get a big time win with Huntley. Lamar does his thing last night. Now everybody's going to have to properly document if you're a participant or you did not participate or. Or if you're a limited participant. Well, he did every single rep that a scout team quarterback would do. That's full participate guy. And then the NFL goes, no, full participant from that guy would be starting quarterback. Full participation. That's actually limited participation because he's doing.
Edward Simpson
Is that in the rule book?
Peter Neverville
I have no idea.
Edward Simpson
It will be now.
Peter Neverville
The NFL is fined the Baltimore Ravens $100,000 for violating the league's injury report policy by incorrectly listing quarterback Lemon Lamar Jackson's practice participation Status on Friday, October 24th, one week ago from this moment right now. Yeah, they, they said because he was a scout team quarterback, what the Ravens said was he was our scout team quarterback and he did everything. They're like, full participant. And then the NFL goes, that ain't how this. He's Lamar Jackson. So if you go full participant, he's obviously full participant.
Edward Simpson
Should just take him out one series. Taking him out for one series. Say he was limited. It don't take every rep as a scout team quarterback.
Peter Neverville
Well, they're. Well, I think what the NFL is saying is that Baltimore is trying to lie to people to say Lamar was full participant. So they thought Lamar was going to be playing, I think, is what the NFL.
Edward Simpson
Yeah. Oh, yeah. I. Yeah, I don't know.
Peter Neverville
That is the kind of.
Edward Simpson
We haven't heard that before.
Peter Neverville
No, that's why I think that here they find them because, hey, you can't be lying about what participation is. So I don't know though.
Edward Simpson
Like, that's weird because I've. I know like people coming back from injury, like, hey, we're not. You're not going to play your position, but you go take, go take some reps. Go run the carded reps like you're a wide out, you can maybe can run some 75% routes and see how you feel.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. But I don't think if you're a starter, you could be listed as a limited participant. Is what. Or as a full participant. You have to be listed as a limited participant on scout team, not on starting.
Edward Simpson
No, I get it.
Peter Neverville
I. We just learned this. Just learned this through the Lamar Jackson.
Florida Man
Thank you, Lamar.
Peter Neverville
Thank you, Lamar.
Harry Potter
Thank you, Lamar.
Peter Neverville
And the NFL getting the bottom. Because we need more, more accurate information when we're making these picks. Yeah. It's not just us. A lot of people try and make these picks. And then are the. A lot of stuff coming out about what happened in basketball and then what happened over in Turkish soccer?
Edward Simpson
Yeah.
Heavenly Hulkster
Oh, not good.
Edward Simpson
The soccer one's a little under the radar.
Peter Neverville
Well, we certainly saw it because it involved a lot of people and certainly a sport we cover on a regular basis.
Edward Simpson
There's other basketball people involved, too. It seems like we're just, we're at the beginning.
Peter Neverville
Oh, tip of iceberg.
Florida Man
We'll get to the bottom.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, I don't love that.
Edward Simpson
No, it sucks, actually.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, it does suck. I don't like that. That's potential.
Edward Simpson
And even people that may be completely innocent and just popped into something, their name might get dragged into it, too.
Peter Neverville
You always mention that whenever there's other things talked about.
Edward Simpson
You're like, the Epstein thing. I have said that about, like, hey.
Peter Neverville
There has to be some people.
Edward Simpson
Naive people that showed up and thought, hey, I can let me talk ball and physics with this guy. And then all of a sudden, bam.
Peter Neverville
There he is, and he get, get out of there.
Edward Simpson
Hope.
Peter Neverville
And you're saying that same thing here in this situation.
Edward Simpson
I'm saying in the, in the card game, that could happen.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. Because there could be people at card games that are actually getting taken. I, I, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Edward Simpson
The victims.
Peter Neverville
I think there's another round that's going to come where I think a victim of one of these games is going to be accused of actually rigging the game, and then that person's going to have to come out and say, no, actually, I have $250,000 I lost in this thing. I'm actually the victim in this turn. I think there's a chance that that's going to start happening, you know, because there's going to be a lot of potential misconstruing of information. But also, maybe it's over. Maybe that's all they got. Could be. Maybe that's all they Got maybe hopefully for the good of sport. That's all it is. You like the Chiefs or the Bills?
Edward Simpson
I like the Chiefs. Here.
Peter Neverville
Give me a cheese. Oh, I couldn't pick the Chiefs last week because you did. Chief rolled out running back Isaiah Pacheco and Josh Simmons for Sunday's game at Buffalo. I'll take the Buffalo Bills. What can I get them at?
Florida Man
Buffalo Bills plus two.
Harry Potter
They always win the regular season.
Edward Simpson
One does seem to be that way.
Peter Neverville
It's always close game too. Two points could be a one point game.
Edward Simpson
What's the weather like? Are we having any situations? It getting cold and windy and anywhere.
Harry Potter
I think it's still like 50 and 60 sunny in the northeast. I don't know.
Edward Simpson
I don't know about that. It will be a thing later on. Obviously it will.
Peter Neverville
Yeah. Not for the Chiefs though. Chiefs are their stadium's ass too. I mean they, they're cold as hell. Remember the Dolphins? That was whenever.
Florida Man
Oh yeah.
Peter Neverville
It all kind of started.
Florida Man
People's fingies fell off.
Edward Simpson
Remember Coach McDaniel came to the old studio.
Peter Neverville
Yeah, that was cool, man.
Edward Simpson
That was great.
Peter Neverville
We believed from the moment we did. He came in. We like the way his attitude was. Still do loved it. He kind of felt like an owl, you know, just kind of his own man. His own being wasn't going to change for anybody. And last night he's chewing people out. It's like. Yeah, he's got a little fire in there too.
Nick Saban
He's fired up.
Peter Neverville
Who's that coach?
Edward Simpson
Oh, that's the old question is if they move on from him, does he get another head coaching opportunity anytime soon? No, no, don't think so. Well, I guess Hulkster seen the future.
Peter Neverville
He's going to coordinator. Thank you Hulkster for that.
Heavenly Hulkster
Is that you bet.
Peter Neverville
They talked about, about that the football gods meeting and then. So we're both on the Chiefs and then Seattle Seahawks taking on the Washington Commanders Sunday Night Football 2 1/2 point favorites for the Seattle Seahawks. Is there any other lines out there, Tom?
Florida Man
Yeah, if you want the Commanders you can get three.
Peter Neverville
Okay. AJ Washington Commanders at home getting three points or Seattle Seahawks favored by two and a half on the road.
Harry Potter
Go ahead con ble.
Peter Neverville
Jen.
Harry Potter
Jaden Daniels is playing Terry McLaren out.
Peter Neverville
Okay. Terry McLaurin. No. Commanders announcing Jane Daniel to a start. Yes. How's that change anything you're saying the Seattle Seahawks team very good at the football. Have had massive wins on the road on a very regular basis under this McDonald coach. I think he won like his first nine or 10 away games. And I still don't know if that streak is going right this moment. I should know better about this point of the season. But Seattle's real deal and they're going into Washington as two and a half point favorites. AJ who do you like? How do you like it?
Edward Simpson
So I'm fully on the Seattle Seahawks bandwagon. JF Sam Darnold. I love what they're doing. I think their defense flies around. Give me Seattle.
Peter Neverville
I will take the.
Edward Simpson
It's hard because I. I love Dan Quinn and Jaden and what they do, but I just. Man, Seattle, they got something to them.
Harry Potter
They're wearing their throwbacks. Seattle's wearing theirs.
Edward Simpson
Like these.
Peter Neverville
Right?
Edward Simpson
What we see right here.
Harry Potter
No, no, like the real throwbacks, like Chantel and bring back the old logo and everything. Hu.
Edward Simpson
Washington is.
Heavenly Hulkster
Do you know how accurate or what?
Peter Neverville
Washington's bringing back their old.
Heavenly Hulkster
That's what this guy just said.
Peter Neverville
Is that right? It's throwback night.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah.
Edward Simpson
Yeah.
Harry Potter
They're letting him.
Peter Neverville
How. How likely is this telling the truth?
Nick Saban
Yes.
Peter Neverville
Because I made a shot said Steelers super bowl, remember?
Heavenly Hulkster
I do remember that. As it stands, you're looking at about 78 chance, I think, going in. Dude.
Peter Neverville
Okay, not. Not just going in, but telling the truth. Like, if I was to shoot this and say, hey, this is for Seattle -2 and a half from or whatever, and it goes in, how likely is that to be a factual piece of information from the basketball gods, football gods, or just St. Peter, Jesus Christ and big man as a whole?
Heavenly Hulkster
Unfortunately, it's only about 50 of the time. It's basically whatever. These guys are feeling it out now. I will say if I get 17, 18 real American beers in these guys, I can kind of push them whichever way I want. So I like you guys, you know, I mean, you make this thing. Let's just say the. The world is your oyster.
Peter Neverville
Okay, I like that sound. Like the Seahawks minus two and a half.
Edward Simpson
Oh, that look good.
Peter Neverville
All right, I'll take the commanders.
Heavenly Hulkster
Okay.
Peter Neverville
Dude. Plus three. I think that that's what that is for me this game. Like, yeah, either team could be really good. I think Seattle's more consistently good. Give me the Seahawks. I'll take the Seattle Seahawks -2½.
Edward Simpson
Actually, that's what I got as well.
Florida Man
It looks like they are ten and one on the road under McDonald and. And nine in a row.
Peter Neverville
Okay. Yeah. So give me them.
Edward Simpson
What is that?
Peter Neverville
Gotta be a record.
Edward Simpson
No, I mean, like, how? I would assume other coaches come to him like, hey, why are you so Good on the road. What are you doing?
Peter Neverville
Yeah, locking out. Just locking out the outside noise, I guess. They treat every game like a bowl week, brother. Every week is a celebration.
Edward Simpson
How does that Hulster. How do they win on the road and other teams are poop on the road?
Heavenly Hulkster
Their coach is a psycho, for one. I wouldn't want to see that guy in a square circle. It was like a mean son of a. But, like the kind of guy who everybody still respects him, they still love him, but you don't want to cross that guy, you know? That might be a guy I'd like to get drunk with and get into a bar fight with, you know, Maybe he'd have my back. She want. He's a good coach. I mean, what else you want me to say? Take. Take chemistry.
Peter Neverville
Happy Halloween, Oxer.
Heavenly Hulkster
Happy Halloween. Happy Halloween, all you guys. Well, dude.
Peter Neverville
All right, let's get the hell out of here. Aj, thanks for traveling out. Good to see you.
Edward Simpson
Good to see you.
Peter Neverville
All right. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. It might change your life. We're in this thing together. Big one tomorrow morning in Utah. Can't wait to get out there. Can't wait to go trick or treat with the baby girl.
Heavenly Hulkster
Yeah, dude.
Peter Neverville
Gonna be so cool. All right, let's enjoy this all, shall we? See you guys on overreaction Monday. Have an incredible weekend. A ball. And hopefully they'll get their deal done. Get the deal done. Get the deal done. Nobody's really talking about it. A lot of people head over there for Sunday ticket because it's currently on. On YouTube TV quad box made for sports fans. Red zone channel over there. A lot of football fans over there. I assume YouTube TV knows that. So going into a weekend with a lot of ball, it's like, let's figure that out. Yeah, we need to figure that out. I don't know who's, you know, holding it all up. I don't know which side's which. I seeing messages from people saying, hey, need to go to this website, do something. I don't know if that helps with negotiation.
Heavenly Hulkster
It doesn't. Especially a waste of time.
Peter Neverville
Oh, Hulkster, you don't know. Heavenly Hulkster, you don't know? I guess you do now.

I do. We got real good fiber up in heaven. I was like, this is weird, dude. Why are we, you know, behold to have. To have, like, YouTube TV up here? Don't you got, like, Jesus TV or something? Where we don't have commercials? Don't have that stuff. To me, sounds like we got two greedy corporate fat cats. And it's time for them to put their swords down. Because if we don't have football Saturday, Saturday, there's gonna be bedlam, brother.

This special Halloween episode brings the signature, high-energy, off-the-cuff banter of The Pat McAfee Show with a festive twist: the entire crew and guest list are in costume (and character), riffing on NFL Week 9, the Thursday Night Football (TNF) Ravens-Dolphins recap, World Series happenings, big college football matchups, recent NFL front office drama, and a healthy dose of football-style life philosophy. Notably, the episode spotlights the abrupt firing of Dolphins GM Chris Grier, Lamar Jackson’s star performance, and features extended bits with "Heavenly Hulkster" and "Harry Potter," plus expert guest commentary from Dan Orlovsky and Nick Saban.

| Timestamp | Speaker | Quote | |-----------|---------|-------| | 00:29 | Peter Neverville | “Football is magical…and what I see from Lamar Jackson is, holy shit good.” | | 05:04 | Heavenly Hulkster | “The Dolphins fucking suck. Tua stinks.” | | 23:22 | Heavenly Hulkster | “Holster puts butts in seats. All these people can say all this mumbo jumbo...Jerry ain’t changing a damn thing, brother.” | | 33:05 | Dan Orlovsky | “The big takeaway is how impressive the defense has been in the last three or four games.” | | 41:48 | Edward Simpson | “No relation to Bart either. Bart 425 on Sunday, I believe.” | | 76:34 | Peter Neverville | “They’ve changed rules because of our games...They’re looking at the blueprint of the NFL from our games.” | | 82:50 | Nick Saban | “Nothing’s more important than relationships… It’s always a great experience to spend a little time with you.” | | 120:35 | Coach Bill Cowher (impersonated) | “Sometimes the depths of despair can take you to the heights of hope.” |
The episode mixes classic McAfee high-volume, irreverent sports talk with playful character work and improv. The energy is fast-paced and conversational, mixing sharp analysis with ribbing, inside jokes, and wild digressions befitting the Halloween holiday.
This Halloween edition of The Pat McAfee Show delivers the familiar blend of serious NFL analysis and locker-room comedy, with standout moments from costumed cast members, NFL insiders, and special guests. The key takeaways: Lamar Jackson is back, the Dolphins are in disarray, Sunday brings pivotal matchups (Chiefs-Bills, Colts-Steelers), and the show’s cast never misses a chance to celebrate football’s absurdities or their own. Must-listen for football fans craving both insight and entertainment—and a heavy dose of Halloween mischief.
