i was like happy birthday how old are you 24 he's like 23. damn you're getting old he's like dude this is so depressing yeah no none of it is listen billy you can make jokes about billy's uh mental maturity all you want but he could not have grown that sweet foo manchu mustache a year ago today you're you're just you're blossoming into a man billy it's a work in progress billy tell us uh in your 23 years on planet earth uh maybe one you know little pearl of wisdom for the people because you are as you said old now um so give it to us what do you got what's what's the big thing that you've learned what's the thing like you know maybe year 22 you learned something going into year 23 exercise is the key okay mental well-being nice you didn't know that before you never you never played sports before last year i also feel like that was like gym class like grade five we said in all 23 years that's probably my greatest what'd you learn in year 22 year 22 how to get into war mode yeah how to lose a negotiation with big cat yeah i did that pretend that you have another job offer that's not real but i'm happy it all has worked out growing moments yeah it's been a good year i i feel like you have grown up i mean it's crazy that we've known you since you were what 18 17 maybe 17. yeah no no no the crazy part is billy's known us since he was like 16. i know it's true and we've yeah that's weird isn't that really like creepy to think about billy listening to our podcast when he's 16. i don't think he did no i did i think he listened to it once on the train right into his interview with us no i listen to it every day on the way to school what's perfect about us if we ever get mad at billy for anything that he does is the fact that me and you molded his young brain into what it is like billy is a perfect test case clinical sample of what somebody would grow into if they only had a big cat teaching them yeah it is our fault i'm trying to think of stuff that you guys may have taught me this year no like back then that i thought was hilarious um don't come in with a uh a resume that's stapled in seven pages well it has a lot of inaccuracies on it if the sun is hot how come space is cold oh yeah that was when you guys were like making 69 jokes that was back when it was like stingray steve yes on the call yes yes yes 69 jokes we're very very in we've grown if you think i'm 40 now like go back and listen to 2016 part of my time calling lenny that was freaking hilarious yeah it was yeah yeah but uh happy birthday billy for real thanks boys um i love you love you guys too oh that was i was trying to have like a one-on-one moment there i love you love you too there we go billy already knows i love him i don't need to tell him love it i tell him enough love it um okay so super wild card weekend jake are you jealous should we do like a an unbirthday party for you no it's billy's day he deserves all the spotlight when's your birthday jake september 26th so we missed it we didn't mention it at all no i i no i don't know i think he got brought up it got broken yeah yeah my because jake would remember we literally forgot about hanks oh listen i i got asked a question on fantasy corner last week and someone asked like do you take the day off for your birthday uh maybe i'm in a minority here i i thought i was in the majority but after like 21 your birthday doesn't really matter like it's not like a i'm gonna take the i'd rather take maybe that's also skewed by the fact that we have winter birthdays but i would never want to take my birthday off give me a day off in [ __ ] july yeah there's no point to taking a birthday uh also when when you reach the age i'd say like 25 is a good birthday too because you can you can rent a beach house you can rent a car um then when you turn what is it 32 you can no longer get drafted into the military oh i didn't know that that's pretty good i think i think that's the age okay can you can run for president 35 run for president 35 which sucks so when you turn 35 that's actually the worst it weighs heavy on you i think should i run i have to think about it every day yes and weigh the pros and cons i feel like i'd i need to do a service for my country yes yes but uh yeah birthdays i don't know they're nice like they're like hey happy birthday that's nice and then uh you move on i remember one of uh i think i've told this story but i was like 19 or 20 in college i ate a shitload of mushrooms on my birthday and don't do that because you forget that on your birthday everyone in your family calls you and i had like a 10-minute conversation with my grandparents and i thought they were speaking a different language yeah it freaked me out you got you got to definitely make some time and you have to almost proactively call them on your birthday yeah right if you got big plans later on that night i remember one time my mom called me on uh on 4 20 at college and i had uh i just smoked out of gravity bong several times that day and she asked me if what i was doing what i was up to that day and what i had done that that i i was proud of myself for that day i don't know she was getting like really why did she call you on 4 20. you guys celebrate hitler's birthday or something no i'm just saying she called and she it was a random mom call got it god those are scary she goes what constructive thing have you done today to better yourself pft and and i said mom i ate an entire family sized bag of cheetos and i didn't lick my fingers once until i was done with the entire thing and then i licked my fingers and it was awesome that's yeah there you go and then she hung up on it baby steps yeah so that's just a tip birthday tips but billy's uh sober right now so good job billy you're here for the show happy birthday january yes sober january um all right let's talk super wild card weekend super wild card weekend one of the best weekends uh in sports i'd put it up there it's like you know i i always say march madness first weekend of march madness is the best but this one is this is the top five sports week the way that they've set it up this year i think pushes it ahead of next weekend for me yes you've got you've got longer a longer time period of days where there is football and it's it's it's spaced out so perfectly like the fact that we have a monday night game is such a great come down um now we did talk about the potential of maybe doing nfl bowls which would be perfect for tuesday wednesday thursday also friday to get us to the divisional round who would be your number one bull matchup i think we got to do a darby okay i think we got to do jets giants that's giant across town derby to see which team is the best team once and for all in new york city shout out joe judge uh we recorded wednesday's show early and then he got we we basically said this is why they should keep him then they fired him which is our infinite wisdom but joe judge the coolest thing he ever did for the giant or as a giants you know he wasn't the head coach anymore but the coolest thing he's done in the last three years was getting fired and then getting a delivery to his house of like 15 pizzas and and i was like 10 30 racks of coors light it was the best that was like joe judge i i would get rehired for that yes i would immediately rehire him for proving how he handles being fired i think that's something that you need to know about a person is how do you get through adversity there's no bigger adversity than getting fired and you show your true colors turns out joe judge is an awesome guy yeah i liked how he handled it in fact i'm i i think joe judge might have gotten a raw deal i still am convinced that he tried to get fired because he it yeah look at the timeline he his job was guaranteed for next year and then he completely lost his mind saying the weirdest [ __ ] qb sneaks and then obviously the finale of saying he wants more power right i think he was essentially like i want to get fired i don't want to coach his teammate yeah my new theory on joe judge is he got a completely raw deal and uh the plan was always for him to come back next year but when he got the reins to the to the team they essentially said all right you're going to run the show it's going to be you and gettlemen and the two of you are in lockstep on everything we trust you across the board i think that the mirror is because the mirrors have at least one of the sons and i think a nephew that are at the top of the pro personnel department i think they didn't give joe judge and gentlemen as much room to work with as they said they were going to now joe judge is like [ __ ] this i want to get go out i'm going to go out and blaze the glory i'm going to run two quarterback sneaks on on third or second and nine and third and nine i'm going to act like an [ __ ] in the media and then they had that that interview with him after the last game of the season where they talked to joe judge and i'm pretty sure joe judge was like firing me [ __ ] yeah fire me and and then they had like give me the keys to the castle or fire me and then they had to take a day after getting their their [ __ ] pushed in by joe judge in this end of season meeting to be like we can't fire him that's what he wants yeah and then finally cooler heads prevailed where it's like well do we want an entire another season of joe judge doing joe judge things and they just decided they had to let joe judge win pay him 20 million dollars for the next three years or whatever and then joe judge throws a [ __ ] chuck e cheese pizza party in their face i think i am officially team joe judge yeah he uh what a way to go out um i think he also got in another fight with one of his line coaches he just was a fight guy yeah there's like a there there are certain times when you get a coach uh what was it tom cable like they they just when things went bad they were like you know what i will physically fight my way out of this that was that um who was the the defense coordinator at michigan uh guy tom brown yeah don brown coaches umass now yeah yeah yep his motto was dude solve all your problems with aggression yes yes it's just fast as aggressive at the end of the day if if you can't figure out how to how to move forward on something just punch somebody in the face yeah move through it yeah yeah um i also would love to see i i feel like we should use this time uh in between the playoff weekends we should give a try out like it should be falcon saints saints should start drew brees and the falcons should start sets in bennett oh that would be fun i would watch that on wednesday night i i was actually thinking that you could do seahawks saints drew brees starts for the saints marshawn lynch plays for the seahawks kind of just like just put put our old favorites in their old uniforms and i'll tune in and watch i like that i i also think it'd be fun to have uh like maybe chargers versus i don't know let's say bro whoever charges versus whoever and we make it like almost the movie speed where brandon staley if he wins he gets a hundred million dollars uh and he can never punt and if he punts one random person in the stands dies okay i like that just adding a little bit of chaos you know i don't know and it's bolt man yeah or or maybe they hang bolt man maybe every time he goes for it on fourth down someone dies because that's what he loves to do so he he has to resist that we can combine that with this idea because i was thinking chargers ravens would be a good matchup um and i think that if you made it all fourth downs yes so the entire game was just all two-point conversions yeah it's all fourth downs and every play is worth two points if you score a touchdown yes i would watch that and then if brandon staley loses somebody dies yeah that would be cool i also would like to see a bowl game that's just dan campbell doing like the uh american ninja warrior set but he can't leave until he finishes it so he just keeps falling and getting up and biting kneecaps and trying really [ __ ] hard i like that i also think that that lion's jaguars would be a good match up where winner gets the first overall pick ooh yeah no they should always have that for the for the bottom four picks they should do like a it should just be the wednesday night bowl where it's the first round is wednesday night second round's next wednesday and the winner gets the first pick or you could do a game where it's trevor lawrence and the jaguars against the saints because the saints are they're the team that had i think they're in the best draft or the worst draft position right now jaguars are in the best draft position right now if trevor lawrence beats the saints then he gets to play on the saints next year yeah i like that you can you can win your way out of a bad situation we should also just have a bowl game that's uh the full send podcast interviewing deshaun watson yes i would watch that too yeah and obviously washington football team against chicago yep i think a mayor's bet they're basically like a spring game yeah ditka can coach the bears yeah we can bring rg3 out there to score they'll let him score a touchdown like the sick child that gets to run across the field yeah matt nagy can maybe get one last send off because it does feel like you know didn't have that didn't have that moment he didn't get to him on the way out yeah he kind of ducked out of that one yeah um all right but we do have real games

let's just go in order any thoughts from anyone billy jake liam anyone memes uh hank's still on the covet list under protocol he'll be back i think sunday we'll start with the raiders bengals i love that this game is the first game it feels right uh the staff that gets thrown out there that is very hurtful to bengals fans is that no bengals fan has ever sent a text message of a bengals playoff win because their last win in the playoffs predates the technology of text messages uh well what about emails i think that's kind of one of those asterisks just because i just want to prepare people were people really getting texts on their phone back in 1992 oh yeah oh yeah bezos probably was i don't think he's probably sending his dick out listen i i i mean he probably was and then you know that's how the daily mail or whoever no bezos wasn't sending his dick out until he got he got rich yeah he got real rich he knows he's got a weird dick and yeah he would have been arrested for some that it looks like a different light when you're rich uh but i do think we'll see if if the bengals win we'll see text messages be shared like hey look yeah this is the bengals winning a playoff game i this game to me is like the bengals are in a better spot because they rested in week 18 the raiders played late sunday night emotional game overtime all that i think the bengals are going to win but the raiders do feel like a team that just doesn't go away and even if you look at their last month where they win these games by two points three points overtime games they got alligator blood they're the alligator blood team i think that the uh the over is a good play in this game i think we're gonna see a shitload of points right now it's at 49. okay um neither one of these teams is spectacular on defense and they both kind of just strike me as teams that they they panic later on in games yeah this fourth quarter is going to have like 24 points scored whoa i think yeah whoa you're not going to be out of this one we should mention to the bengals will compton's not playing yeah well compton was playing this game defensively the [ __ ] under we should mention the bengals did beat the raiders we have a lot of rematches bengals beat the raiders in uh week uh 10 i believe 32 13. uh what are you gonna say i was going to say i wish it was at night to take the over yeah yeah i just i don't know it feels better that's actually a good point yeah yeah the ball travels farther at night it will be getting dark in this it will be dark in the second half so maybe take the first half under second half over there you go i like that based on light all right so the last wait so we brought that stat up about about the bengals but the last time the raiders won a playoff game was 2002. yeah it's been a while so they've never they've never been able to send a facebook message instagram has yet an instagram story from the playoffs facebook started what in 2003 yeah so yeah no they've they've never been able to poke somebody and tell them that the raiders want a playoff game yeah what were you gonna say billy my take bengals are super well rested raiders are coming off that intense tie game i think the bengals got this one but doesn't it feel like the raiders have alligator blood like they win games even the game on sunday night the chargers i i would if you told me the chargers and raiders were to play a hundred times i think the chargers are probably the better team but the raiders just fined what they did it to the colts the week before i think raiders are a dome team i think they get karma for not tying for not tying oh you're still stuck on the tie also we need to find out what happened to that cincinnati bengals fan that that promised that he would stay on his roof until they won a game yes what is this guy doing for the playoffs is he back on the roof i feel like you have to go back to the roof yeah you have to or the bengals guy who uh the famous video the bengals fan who painted his entire house uh bengal stripes yeah and like the first part of the video he's like they were asking about him he's like yeah i went through a divorce i was like oh you could stop the video right now obviously he literally went through a divorce was like you know what i've always wanted to do have my house be a bengal that's such a it's such a funny mid-life crisis to go through you're not going out you're not buying a convertible you're like i'm just gonna make my entire life football yeah bengal uh jake i like this game because it feels like the only game where both teams at least in my lifetime have had very little to no playoff success yeah someone's going to have a big win that's very memorable for the long time yeah every other game every team has made how to play off when you're right times i can remember this game the bengals all remember in the playoffs as the fight with uh the steelers yeah they should have won that game the raiders they were the two seed one year i think yeah in high school well connor cook started that game remember yeah that was bad that's all i remember awful games one of them will have a run oh they looked cool though in those road whites with the silver helmets there there was also one game that the the bengals had against the steelers back in 2005 2006 where on the first play of the game carson wentz or excuse me carson palmer tore's ac the bengals in the oh yeah the bengals yeah it's bengal steelers and yep that rolled into carson wins his leg excuse me carson palmer's leg they were really good that year they were awesome that year their offense was unstoppable and then they scored a touchdown in that first pass and then obviously with with palmer out for the rest of the game so the feel-good story is coming out of this game yeah i want i'm rooting heavily for the bengals i want joe burrow i saw that picture of him smoking a uh a victory cigar after the lsu game the championship game and it took me back to to january of 2020 when everything was awesome yep the world was that's the last time the world was good that code changed picture he had after the the bengals clinched was awesome it was great code switch yeah code switch yeah that's so great um all right saturday night that's how i feel when i'm hanging out with billy versus when i'm hanging out with jake oh breaking move sorry that wasn't good yeah no that was good that was better than try it again again better minus the one yeah try it again try it again [Music] the texans are firing david culley that's [ __ ] he never had a chance that's [ __ ] they should like yeah weren't they supposed to be like dead last this oh yeah yeah like you basically are admitting that you hired him just to fire him i think couldn't have done better than what he did i think um i think that was kind of always the understanding that they were hiring david culley so that they could fire him later and i think even in his first press conference david coley is like i can't wait to tell my kids one day my grandkids that daddy got to be an nfl head coach for a season yes i think everybody had an understanding of this is more than that it's daddy won four games with davis mills yeah yeah exactly daddy did a respectable job coaching the houston texans feeling a little a little weird that we're calling him daddy granddad uh okay great breaking news sorry to hank that was no that's fine that's fine that's fine granddad one time punted on third down yeah granddad uh all right saturday night patriots bills bubba we'll start with you how are you feeling as as now the voice of patriots nation on this show with hank on the coco list i feel good yeah yeah i mean no but i'm excited for it okay like i think it'll be an entertaining game for sure yes my confidence is not very high though bills are going to be honest so drunk at 8 15 p.m it also um i think we're gonna get like the full josh allen like we're getting he's he's going to be unleashed because he's he's i think i saw a stat that he had the most efficient rushing season for a quarterback ever which is crazy um it's also crazy efficiency because not yards because when you watch him efficiently run the ball he's doing crazy [ __ ] like kneeing people in the face and jumping over them and stiff arming them so he he takes like a very violent way to be efficient and they're gonna i mean there's no holding back you're in the playoffs so we're gonna see the full josh allen i i this game is very because like if if you just go by the last month it's clear the patriots have have started to trend down while the bills are trending back up but doesn't it feel like four and a half points is too much for a division game where everyone knows everyone i i just feels like a field goal game i like the bills yeah i like them a lot you're right i think big cat's right that we're gonna see full josh allen we're gonna see josh [ __ ] alan i think the bills are gonna win i it feels like a field goal game it feels like a a tight game i agree with that yeah bart scott says that josh allen should take viagra before the game keep the blood flowing that would be the freezing cold yeah it's actually um it's something that some athletes do though they take viagra cialis and it makes your it like dilates your blood vessels more so it doesn't actually give you a boner during the games ocho cinco is quoted have been taking viagra and it caused him to cramp in one game yeah the uh the seattle the seattle pharma seahawks of the 2011 2012 they used to take viagra and uh adderall yeah maybe they would combine and make it yeah a cocktail out of it uh yeah this game's gonna be fun though it is it feels like i don't know i just love i love whenever division rivals play in the playoffs it just feels extra special um all right sunday eagles box weather weather alert i've heard there's going to be wind i've heard there's going to be potential rain i think the bucks are going to kill the eagles i think the eagles are going to cover yeah i think it's one of those match-up things well i have a stat to back that up i think they kind of match up i i like the eagles they're kind of in they're the team that's being disrespected the most i think in the nfc where it's like no one's talking about them they've got guys on the team that have won the playoffs before they like doing the thing where they go on the road as underdogs they're probably gonna break out the underdog mask again yeah i haven't seen anybody in philadelphia wearing german shepherd masks for a couple years i think uh yeah i like the i just think that they're a tough football team so the stat that i have that backs that up is tom brady's own five against the spread against the nfc east in the playoffs there we go so he has owned five he's got he's two and three straight up who's the last quarterback to beat him from that division uh the last quarterback to beat him for that division would be nick foles against the spread uh taylor heineke yes yeah yeah against the spread he's oh and five um i don't know if the eagles match up very well against the bucks because the bucks have their big strength is run defense i you know what i mean like that's what the eagles want to do i just i think if the eagles can keep it close early they'll like they'll i know this sounds very stupid it's almost a trent dilfer thing but game flow wise they can stay in this game if it's if it stays within that one score range if they get in a spot in wind in rain that jalen hurts has to throw to win the game i think that's going to be a problem i don't know i still think that they the eagles are a team that they've got a way to just [ __ ] up a game plan kind of like the giants did sometimes against teams that they would have no business competing against i feel like the eagles have that experience where they can they can bring another team down to their level so the only thing with the eagles and i know this has been pointed out eagles fans i i i have said many times that i think nick ciriani should definitely be in the conversation for coach of the year what they've done is incredible turnaround if you look under the hood of their season they beat a lot of bad teams they haven't beaten a good team they beat the all right so here are their wins falcons panthers lions broncos saints with trevor simeon and then they finished the season with jets washington football team giants washington football team right so they haven't beaten a team that's above 500 besides i guess you could count the saints yes yes but that was trevor that was trevor simeon saints yes when they were on their five-game six-game losing streak whatever it was so that would give me a little pause um yeah they don't have to beat them they just have to cover that's a lot of points isn't it that's nine points i think tom brady playing it at one o'clock is good because afternoon evening tom brady he starts sundowning forgets what down it is uh i think i think it's going to be an ugly game i think the weather is going to contribute and i think the bucks are going to win by six okay win by six all right so that would be covering the spread yep um all right next game the uh game for all the children of the 90s 49ers cowboys just excited this should just be the john madden game um because these two teams you know used to clash all the time and it was incredible uh the did you see the offensive coordinator for the 49ers went mini viral yes it was awesome everything yeah mike mcdaniel he was explaining plays people were talking about it and then there was a follow-up which made me laugh very hard they someone a reporter i think for the niners said anyone who's hoping to potentially hire mike mcdaniels or head coach just know he won't take an interview if your team is in a state that doesn't have legalized marijuana not kidding how awesome is that i don't know where this guy came from because me and big cat like to think that we have a pretty good pulse of who the guys are in the nfl well i don't know this guy just kind of popped out of nowhere it's because kyle shanahan has known so much as an offensive coach that you don't even think like you you know you mean you think kyle shannon is running the whole offense and then oh yeah they got a guy who's calling the place here this guy seems like a guy that's like like cleaning kyle shanahan's pool he's awesome that they just hang out play tony hawk pro skater every day it's like someone from workaholics got a job as an oc yes that's crazy he's the man he does look a lot like spider yeah i feel like uh greg williams would be like he wouldn't take an interview in a state where you can't carry a gun yes a state where you don't have to stand your ground law yeah yeah that's so true yes but uh this game's gonna be awesome um i feel like it's i have my future on the cowboys so i'll probably just have to roll with that and i don't like the matchup i think the 49ers can they're they're the team in the nfc that like they could beat anyone you know what i mean they're the team that has the lowest seed where i'm like yup if you told me the 49ers ended up in the super bowl i wouldn't i wouldn't think that's that crazy i i don't like the match-up either for the cowboys um i want the cowboys to win for your future it's okay and i i put up i sprinkled some money on them a long time ago just to get to to get to the super bowl not to win um but this would make me very nervous if i was a cowboys yeah and i you know i the one the one thing you would you could say about the cowboys the strength that they have throwing deep passes if they can hit him if dak is playing well because he's been up and down is the weakness of the 49ers defense so that could be a place where they could exploit it and jimmy g like if you can get jimmy g if you can get pressure on him he he crumbles quicker than most quarterbacks yeah jake who's you guys front runner for mvp is it kittle nvp well we think we think it's going to be kittle now uh actually remember we talked about it how it should be a coach mike mike mccarthy's already won nvp in my book because he said uh he would get slimed if they want yeah they're the kids so that's what we said yeah so he no but he they asked him about it and i think let me find the quote he basically heard the question wrong and then just agreed to it which i don't think he wanted to agree to it um so yeah that would be sick if he got slimed yeah uh mike zimmer definitely knows the age of consent laws in every state depending on where he's going to be hired um yes definitely on research yeah um excited for this broadcast uh oh oh you're your buddy yeah shout out noah noah no little the baby bird baby bird yeah uh baby listen i i think kittle should be the mvp of this game but just imagining slime dripping down mike mccarthy's face is very funny to me it's like that's a laugh out loud image that i will get to carry with me for the rest of my life so i don't know i feel and i also don't want to have to give the nvp to kittle if they lose does that make sense yeah so here's what we got to do we have to be coordinated here i think we go on the uh you should be following the part of my take twitter account we go off of the pardon my take twitter account we will announce once voting opens who we are going to have win the nvp we do control we controlled it last year we control it this year we'll control it for the rest of time like think of it as the hall of fame vote we get all the votes we get to decide you the listeners and us here we like this is a very big honor everyone's listening this right now you are part of the nvp committee so we will decide this and we will make sure that we get a winner it actually it made last year's game so much better because that was a stinker of the game it was the saints and the bears nobody gave a [ __ ] what was going on until like you know what screw it let's just give mitch an award yeah on his way out the door and then i feel like the internet kind of came together yeah everybody was just being very pure and supporting we should definitely i if the cowboys are going to lose i'll say this right now we have to get it for dak because that would be funny and you know he'll be upset gak prescott yeah just be very funny be like dak and if we ever interview him again which i hope we do uh one of our favorite guests his favorite color is gray yeah we could we could ask him here's the here's here's the quote uh mike mccarthy asked if he'd be willing to get slimed he responded do i want to get signed oh slimed okay i obviously haven't put on nickelodeon lately i don't even know what slime is rich you want to help me out anything for the children so he thinks he's getting slime for the kids i would like to see mike mccarthy get slimed or uh jerry jones getting slimed to be funny too i don't know if he'll be an option on the pole though yeah maybe steven steven jones yeah jerry's slime steven jones yes for him as like a stand-in champion i just love them like that read like a that read like michael scott's transcript from the deposition okay slimed rich it would also be kind of funny if uh if the 49ers lost and then we gave it to jimmy g yeah yeah he that would be nice too or debo because we love him we'll figure it out but just go on our word yeah just be ready to vote be ready to vote early vote often we should actually get uh memes make um a picture that people can post on their twitter like an i voted sticker so they can they can they can show everyone that they voted they did their their duty as an american and they voted for the mvp if you're in line stay in line they have to let you vote don't let them intimidate you out of voting please do not we'll be delivering waters to everybody that's in line and if we don't win the vote we will protest forever uh okay last game uh big ben going to kc i don't know i don't know i i this is big ben's doing a reverse jinx on himself yeah he's like listen we we're going to get our butts kicked we might as well just go out there and have fun the more the week goes on the more i'm thinking this might be a win-win for big ben game yeah it might be i did say they're a team of destiny now i also followed up by saying the destiny is to lose by 30 to the chiefs in the first round but they they might be a team of destiny if tj watt goes off it's a possibility okay let's do it ready it's tj watt needs to have strip sack fumble return for a touchdown three and a half sacks and one of those is that yeah so a defensive touchdown three and a half sacks i think if tj watts scores 12 points they win i think naji harris has to have 275 yards rushing okay i think they they can't punt yep if they have zero punts i think uh patrick mahomes and tyra kill have to be on the covet list before the game uh i think if jackson mahomes starts at wide receiver yes uh they have some good chemistry they do yeah that's pretty tall dude he's like six eight six goal line fade option his touchdown dances would be my i i saying all this i actually am excited to bet on the steelers because it does anything you know about nfl betting whatever if everyone in the world says this is going to be an absolute [ __ ] housing blowout like don't even watch the game steelers are gonna keep it tight so i i need to know what color uniforms the steelers are wearing if they're wearing the black uniforms at night i think i got it they probably have to wear the white wear the white if they were wearing the blacks i would say that this they have an opportunity i think ben's last game i think they've won all their super bowls in the whites yeah that's true the two that they won were both in the whites it was actually the first super bowl i ever remember it was the seahawks steelers super bowl and to see big you are old yeah see big ben really take it one last time i was in detroit yeah no big ben big ben didn't play in that game his stats i mean he was actually i think statistically the worst quarterback winning uh stats for super bowl winning quarterback ever actually in that game the rest the reps it was it's comical no i'm not because antoine randall threw the touchdown oh yeah yeah it's it's it's i think heinz ward was the mvp of that game for catching the touchdown pass thrown by antoine randall yeah hold on i'm pulling it up it's um i mean he was early in his career so you can't like i was he was he was just he was very very good in the game against the cardinals that they won so this this hitler's won 21-10 uh and big ben was nine for 21 123 yards and two interceptions not great but wait he scored a rushing touchdown didn't he uh he he was actually short yeah he was short on the time for 25 the refs gave him the score yeah yeah seven seven uh rushes for 25 yards uh yeah antoine renderole was one for one for 43 yards and a touchdown all right so i mean we gave you the way we gave you the formula for the steelers to win this game but in reality i feel like the chiefs yeah no they're just gonna win keep it close keep it close steelers try and keep it close i'm gonna bet on the steelers yeah i am too i'm gonna i i absolutely have to maybe moneyline who cares it's big ben's last game you have to um all right well should we save let's save monday night for sunday night because then we'll have a little bit of an understanding of how everything's played out okay throw it in there because that's you know we'll get we'll get excited for uh monday night i'm just so happy that we have monday night football playoffs so what what's what game are you looking forward to the most this weekend because for me it's easy it's saturday night oh i think i'm looking forward to sunday afternoon the most cowboys 49ers saturday night under the lights no that one's going to be in country it's in buffalo i just think you're gonna see just like steam and vaporized vodka coming off the stands of bill's mafia they're gonna be drinking for about 12 hours going into this game it's going to be cold as [ __ ] josh allen's going to be screaming and there's going to be that steam coming out of the front of his face mask yep the only reason that's not number one that's probably number two for me the only reason is not number one is that there's i think that game has potential to be like a 13-6 game you already mean whereas i think the cowboys niners will have some big-time plays big-time playmakers i'm excited for that one and also the colors like that's just there'll be great crowd shots in that game yes of just drone testing people cold yes and if they lose if the bills lose there'll be some great sad buffalo yeah like fat sad yes oh my god oh my god i have a prediction yes i think there's gonna be a dildo on the field again oh okay call your shot billy got a dm it sounds like no i just have a feeling you just have a dildo feeling i just i i gotta feel they're gonna be on their best behavior you gotta follow it you guys i've got a cool number thing on this game oh i love your cool number things i just saw this the spread is four yep the temperature is going to be four the over under is 44. whoa i don't know how mean i don't know it's cool it's a lot of force a lot of force we gotta go to wendy's it's a force field yeah why what's it wonderful four for four maybe someone will score four touchdowns ooh okay so we gotta bet someone we gotta bet josh allen to score four touchdowns rushing there it is what about passing what does that pay i don't know that's available yeah that would be awesome we'll see though uh okay let's get to

now welcome on a guest it's uh green bay packers head coach matt laflore coach uh you're on your bye week congratulations i actually was thinking about this interview you had an incredible year i wrote down some fake questions and some real questions so i'll let you decide which one you want me to start with uh of course the fake questions okay uh should aaron rodgers be in jail or prison i knew you're to come with that one man you guys got a a big beef with aaron you know the first time i did your show i knew you were a bears guy but i didn't realize to to that extent were you tortured no it's torture it's torture let's talk about the season it's torture you win the nfc north you have an incredible this is your third year you win games like in an incredible clip um the bye week that you have means so much more now because obviously there's only one team that gets it rest verse rust it's our favorite debate to do where's that line if you're a coach and like how you deal with your team that is the magic question i don't think anybody has the right answer for so that is a big reason why we played our guys in that last week versus uh first detroit because we felt like three weeks is a little too much rest and uh definitely wanted to keep the momentum going as best as we could yeah i mean i think that there were people that were just like screaming at you online i'm sure you pay a lot of attention to what random people online say about your your in-game coaching decisions but um i mean that that had to play some sort of fact where you're watching your starters out there like how much time should they play is there that much of a difference between you know playing one half of football in the final week first playing a full game or or playing none of the game like how did you make that decision it was kind of just a gut decision you know we were going to kind of see how the game was going we kind of had a um a plan going into it as far as just some of our key players like aaron and devonte and kenny clark and some of those guys in terms of mainly just the first half but i think it's more or less just the preparation for getting ready to go out and there to compete just the mental um that you have are just getting your mind right to go out there and and play a football game did you did you consider uh just asking him like hey let's put it up to a team vote do you guys want to play and then if they had said yes then you can be like okay you're not going to play i just want to know that you're mentally prepared to play we could have done that we did not do that that's what i would have done um is there rust for the coaching staff or you guys just grinding like throughout the entire bye week oh for the bye week there's definitely some rest i told our guys i want them out every night before dinner be home and kind of reacclimate with your families and reconnect with your families but absolutely i think you got to take advantage of this time it's more or less we want to be very efficient and and still get the work in because there's a lot of self scout and stuff that you can do to try to help just kind of get you a little bit further ahead as you approach the next game so let me give you uh a rust question to help you out keep your mind sharp uh because you're with us right now not studying not getting ready for the opponent whatever i'm not going to i'm not going to point fingers i'm going to give you a hypothetical scenario for the point that's a good point all right i'm going to give you a hypothetical i'm going to give you a hypothetical uh the bears haven't had a buy in a very long time i'm gonna give you a hypothetical situation for the playoffs okay ready for this i'm ready you're down eight it's fourth and goal from the eight there's two minutes left and you have all three timeouts you're gonna need a stop either way do you go for it or do you kick a field goal and make a two possession game a two possession game i'll tell you what you would go there big cat what that's a hypothetical yeah i don't know did that happen to you i don't know maybe i mean i i i almost boycotted uh the bar stool app after that game yeah we love reading what you guys put out there yeah i think it also it just happened to coincide with when that giant ship was stuck in the canal and they were trying to dig it out with a little shovel and so the memes of your field goal being the shovel digging out the ship of the eight point lead it was like a perfect storm against you it's it's also like i mean you are a phenomenal head coach i can say that uh and you got your team poised for a deep playoff run so i have to find like this is all i have that's literally all i have so that's i mean that's it like you're good looking and that pisses me off too so i i basically have you doing a cowards field goal instead of going for it and that's i will hold on to that for the rest of my life you just have to know that i'll tell you what you look at how many plays inside the red zone especially you're talking about eight plus are successful in that situation and i just felt like it was best i thought our defense was playing well and thought we could get the stop and unfortunately you're damned if you do you damned if you don't it's got to work out whatever decision you make has got to work out it's true and and that leads to a good point that we've had this discussion a lot this year it feels like this year was the year of teams going for it becoming um more commonplace you saw obviously the chargers brandon staley did a lot how do you come to that decision is it strictly numbers or like walk me through exactly how a process goes down of like this is when we want to go for it this is when we don't yeah i think it's it's a lot of you try to take everything into the equation in terms of the circumstance who you're playing how your offense is playing um i would say typically we've been pretty aggressive over the last couple years because we have a lot of confidence in our guys on offense to go out there and execute and um you know hindsight's 20 20. like i said it didn't work out and you know i gotta live with that but i i do think you know had that situation had i be in that same situation again i really do think that was the best thing for us you know they didn't call uh many dpis or defensive holdings till that last drive and and we got we got dinged with it so it is what it is man yeah yeah i i respect your uh your willingness to like go down with a ship on that decision like i made that choice i wouldn't i would do it the exact same way again like if you're gonna if you're gonna go one way go 100 that direction don't don't look back with any regrets after the fact do you talk to brandon staley though about like because i know that he's become the guy this year you coached with him uh in los angeles i did not i i never coached with brandon matter of fact i had talked to him prior to um when he left to go to denver but uh the bears may or may not have blocked him from potentially coming here like one of the only good things they've done in very long good job good job it sounds like you know you have a relationship with them have you have you like gone back and forth and do do like head coaches in the nfl do you share like the latest things that you're thinking about strategy and percentages and all that stuff or are you just like siloed in with your guys trying to figure out what the best thing for you to do is yeah i'd say we're more siloed in i think that you got a couple guys that you talk to um it's definitely easier wait when they are in the afc i talked to i talked to robert sala quite a bit um i talked to i still talked to sean uh every now and again but that gets a little bit more complicated especially this time of year when we're both competing for the same thing but uh yeah you you definitely have your guys that that you talk to throughout the course of the season so you talk to the jets uh the bears are looking for a new head coach i got a guy circled he's the offensive coordinator for the new york jets i thought he did a fantastic job this year if your brother gets named the bears coats what what's your reaction oh i'd throw i'd throw a party for him man that'd be great i love kicking his ass twice a year okay so no i don't want him as the coach he's off my list i just put him off my i'll tell you what i i do think and i'm not i'm not being a homer here i think my brother did a really good job i i am as tough as critic i promise you after every game i always watched it asking him questions on why he he chose to do what he did and um i do think he's got a bright future in this league yeah uh i mean he did he did some amazing things and mike white will always have yes the mike white games yes and then flacco yeah so if you were to just johnson yeah yeah exactly not easy yeah um maybe you can explain something to us about about josh johnson because we've talked about him a lot on the show he seems like a guy that's universally respected in the nfl and he's had so many different jobs that you know like if you need an emergency quarterback he's the guy that you call you have any insight why a guy like that has never stuck around on a team yeah a lot of it's just circumstance i think just getting an opportunity and and being put in a position to be successful because a lot of these quarterbacks you know you got to have people around you too now and if you don't or you're put in a situation where it's tough sledding then a lot of times uh teams will just cast you away and then you got to try to uh recreate yourself somewhere else and and josh has hung around for a really long time he's done a really good job yeah well i brought that up because you kind of did that to one of our best friends in the entire world blake bortles and he threw him out like he was yesterday's trash it was incredibly disrespectful the way that you yeah with it i love blake no you didn't know it then why'd you fire like no you don't hey guys i just coached the team i don't pick the player [Laughter] we were so happy i bought a green bay packers blake bortles jersey i might be the only person in the world that has one of those um but we're gonna get one too i'm gonna wear it next time on here what was his what was his effect like on the team uh when he died oh blake is great he is great in the room um you know he's a guy that's played a lot of ball certainly he's got a great relationship with with not only aaron but our offensive coordinator nathaniel hackett they uh they won a lot of games together in jacksonville so blake's a guy that has been around he's got a great experience and he's just a great person to be around each and every day brings a lot of energy to that room sounds like a guy you'd want to have stick around he's so great we got rid of him it sounds like a guy that i would i would personally stand on the table for him yeah did you i would love to i mean my daughter's only seven months but i would love for blake bortles to marry her when she's of age that's kind of creepy man no it is very creepy as it was coming out of my mouth i was like dude what are you doing stop that's what a great guy blake bortles is that's that's that's how that's how strongly we feel about him um so what we're gonna run this on friday wild card weekend you're gonna watch all the games do you watch all the games and how do you watch them do you watch them strictly as a fan or are you like actually watching them and being like all right this team does this they did something new i'm gonna pick that up how does that go down i would say a little bit of both um you know it just depends how many glasses of wine i've had during the game okay okay so yeah maybe saturday night a little less and then sunday you're back to watching yeah no definitely the games uh i would say the nfc games you definitely want to pay a little bit more attention to and just in terms because you could play any one of those teams so um or i shouldn't say anyone all but you could play for the teams yeah right you can't play the box just like off the top of your head if you're looking at the eagles and the bucks playing um would you say that the bucks are like nine points better than the eagles trying to get a little ahead for uh no i'm just curious like you know you're you're an expert you watch a lot of film you've seen these teams play you know you you look for stuff that i don't even know to look for so like i was thinking nine points sounds about if i were to make a prediction that's what i would say i was curious what your thoughts were every game's a little bit different i'll tell you what those are two teams though this year we didn't play so um don't have as much familiarity again with them from this season but uh and especially with with new leadership there in philadelphia yeah it is kind of weird you haven't played you didn't play the 49ers you didn't play the cowboy oh you played the 49ers you didn't play the cowboys or the bucks or the eagles so there's actually yeah that mean that's the great part about playoffs is when you see those matchups you're like oh i wonder how they'd match up against each other yeah you you definitely you try to get ahead this week and and take a peek at at all these teams that you're less familiar with and and try to somewhat predict what you could be facing in that next round um even after you've had a great season like you have in green bay do you still go back and just like think to yourself what the hell happened against the saints oh yeah that was that was not our finest moment to say the least yeah i mean there there had to be like a little bit of doubt that creeped into your mind after that game because it was it was such an ass kicking and it didn't look like you're i mean it really was your team your team looks a lot different now in the way they played compared to what they the way they played then was there any like big change that you made after that game that you can look back on and say here's the mistake and here's the correction oh there was there was a lot of teaching after that game but i think it was just so out of character for for our football team for a lot of our our players and and obviously we didn't get our guys prepared to to that extent uh it definitely made you second guess some of the decisions that we made in the preseason not playing our guys again getting them just that that ability to get mentally prepared to go into to compete at your best level in an nfl football game because you guys see it every week shoot you saw it last week with jacksonville and indy indy going down there having an opportunity to to win and you're in the dance and um you know a team that probably nobody thought could do it showed up and knocked them off so each and every week you got to be your best yeah it's um it's an interesting point because as fans we freak out like we're we're very reactionary i want to say i watched that game week one i was like oh hell yes they're done it's over like at what point do you as a coach freak out like does it have to be a few games in a row where you see something off or is it just steady eddie the whole way because i'm always it's just crazy to me how people can can watch a game and then flush it down the toilet and go to the next one i know that's the cliche thing you're supposed to do but i can't do that i i stick to those games for the rest of the year i'm like the packers suck the james kick their ass yeah no it's as coaches we freak out after every play what are you talking about okay good human yeah guys i wish you guys could come on our headsets and just hear the the discussions that that take place i think a lot of people will be pretty horrified yeah i mean it's gotta be me yeah it's gonna be high intensity um yeah you ever like get personal with somebody during a game oh no you try not to go there and not to say that it's never happened uh i've definitely heard it before but you you never try to really go there yeah you're um you're definitely up for coach of the year you'll probably get votes the other guy who might get votes and we he's our personal coach of the year you coached with him mike frable how like what is so special about mike frable because i think it goes under the radar sometimes how good of a job he does what what is that quality that he has that you're like that's what he does that that's better than everyone else i don't know you don't know no braves does a great job man i think when you look at his team they kind of take on his personality and he is a no-nonsense very direct type of coach and he's going to tell you exactly how it is and it doesn't matter if you're the best player or the worst player on your team he he holds nothing back and that's what you you love and appreciate about him yeah mm-hmm i mean i love mike frable yeah he doesn't like us he's also just like intimidating yeah he's just a big dude yeah i actually think that he could probably he's he's still the coach that could kick everybody's ass in a royal rumble i would agree with that i don't know i mean i don't know who could uh well let's let's let's take a look here he's got an edge to him he slapped me on the back in indy at the combine and it it hurt very hard big like a bear claw handshake yeah i'm going through the list here do you think you could beat up sean mcvay hmm oh yeah yeah definitely what about kyle i love sean too man but brave is a big he's a big man the guy that would it would be interesting because i just he's he's another guy that just has that mentality is him and dan campbell that'd be a heck of a match yeah yeah that's true so where would you rank yourself though that's what i was asking could you beat up sean could you beat up kyle who wins the matchup of the former redskins coaches sean sean's a pretty uh he's a pretty strong guy but kyle uh no doubt about it well also we may or may not have had a wrestling match in our past oh okay three-way oh no no kai kyle owns sean do you give shawn any [ __ ] for that in the off season like every time they clash kyle seems to have their number yeah they they definitely get prepared for them and um he's he's what six and oh in the last six games yeah um so in terms of culture and what you do as a coach would you say it's good or bad culture to have your players screaming profanities on national television at a bunch of uh fans that paid good hard earned money to go see the game and pay their salaries a lot of stuff happens in the heat of battle so bad culture i it call it what you want man i mean if if people are flick flick flicking you off and uh unreported obscenities at you uh how would you respond photoshop that was photoshopped clearly doctor image what's funny is there was one picture that i think had like 20 different pairs of fans so many flipping hair enough at once and just one like little snapshot in time uh speaking of the fans are brutal in this league man i know but that's what that's what makes it so exciting at the same time who is there like one fan base that has that you can count on like these guys are going to be creative and they're going to be mean oh god there's a guy in seattle that's epic oh the hulk the seahorse i don't th the guy right when you come out the locker room he knows everything about you your family uh i'll never forget so my brother you know we're not the tallest guys and uh we're walking out there we're playing seattle it was 2016. um you know a game that went right down to the wire but uh mike was walking out and the the fan goes uh hey little guy what are they gonna ball you up and shoot you out of cannon at halftime i mean it was it was epic it was uh something that we definitely don't let him live down to this day yeah i like that i like a good creative fan i feel i feel like a lot of times the nfl like the rowdiest fan bases or the drunkest fan bases you know they get more shine which is fair because drunk fan bases are objectively awesome but like the real creative ones the weirdos that those are the ones that that i respect a little bit so i'm gonna have to keep an eye out for for that one guy in seattle see if i can't figure out who he is just go right by the visiting locker room this guy's epic everybody knows who he is uh you know and then there's you know you got philly and yeah buffalo those fans are epic as well yeah um i don't know if i i talked to i talked to you about this last time we interviewed you but um there's been kind of like a quest that i've been on for the last two and a half years or so and that's to open football coaches eyes to the use of the planned downfield lateral in the game so like you know we've all seen the hook and ladder it makes its appearance you know once every couple years you might run it as a as a trick play as a gimmick play but i think that the coach that embraces designing like wide receiver routes that are set up so that they'll have somebody running off them after they catch the ball or even just having two guys run downfield at the same time with an option to pitch kind of like a downfield uh quarterback option type thing i think a coach that realizes how to use that strategy correctly and smartly and just kind of you know say okay there is a risk to turn the ball over when you do this but the the opportunity to get you know a 50 60 yard play off it is so much higher than the risk i think the first coach that figures out how to do that correctly is going to change the game of football so i wanted to give you the opportunity to be the first one to really implement that into your playbook and then you can be the best coach of all time and then give me all the credit for it well why don't you just come in you teach me and you show me what you want we'll we'll implement it you'll be ashamed to be during otas though i'm happy to do it i will bring up i'll i'll get some of the uh fijian rugby players together we'll come up we'll teach you how to offload the ball properly and then boom dynasty and bonus pft just had kovitz so he's immunized immunized immunized immunized there you go so you're good i got it twice so i'm super immunized yeah there you go i'll tell you what this is this is not made up i had a guy when i was in tennessee came up to me he was one of our um a chiropractor or somebody and he told me that he could teach us that rugby style and we'd score every time i said okay man that's off season project and what happened i left and uh got the job in green bay so never never came to fruition that guy's just sitting there he's probably like standing outside your office wondering where the hell you've been the last four years he's been waiting for right no listen there's a lot of haters and doubters out there especially the old conservative coach you know that you might see somebody that's been around the league for 40 50 years that's like i don't want to turn the ball over yeah that's a risk but guess what else happens when you do this play you score 70 points a game okay would you if i told you you could score 70 points a game is that something you would be interested in learning oh absolutely okay then we can make some business happen all right let's go my rates are reasonable um what's the perfect temperature for a playoff game because i'd have to imagine you know obviously everyone lambo cold elements everything there has to be a temperature though that sucks for you personally so is there like a spot where you're waking up on game day you're like i hope it's 22 degrees so it sucks for them but i'm used to it the colder the better here yeah oh yeah well they're i got some secrets now i can't i can't share them because i don't want to you know we're about to play some teams in here and don't want their coaches feeling comfortable on the sidelines yeah you've got like like performance enhancing substances that you might use never that like cover you cover your face in vaseline or something trap the heat in no maybe that i'll tell you actually i'll tell you one um so we were playing the rams a few weeks ago uh and sean came out with like hardly anything on and i'm like dude you're going to freeze and he had a wetsuit on underneath oh yeah i think brady used to do that he used to always wear the wetsuit i i never thought of it never heard of it and so i may or may not have adopted that little uh secret purchased a wetsuit are you do you pee in it it really keeps you warm i know you're supposed to pee in it i don't know that would be so awesome if they zoom in on mount floor's face like he's peeing yeah listen you got to see an awkward look yeah have you ever been real still and quiet yeah what's going on actually good question have you ever had to leave the sidelines during the game because you got to pee oh no never not as actually in college we were playing up at northern michigan university and it was third or fourth quarter we had just uh come off the field and i had to go to the bathroom so bad i ran uh into the it was into the public restroom right off the concourse took a leak and went back out to the game yeah amazing when you gotta go you gotta go um i'm asking this about no no player in particular that you coach do you guys is there a drug testing policy that checks for hallucinogens or lsd or ayahuasca or anything that might change a player's entire mindset during an off season i don't believe so i don't know i i don't think that there is yeah i'm just a ball coach guys i don't i don't just about no i don't even know what you're talking about yeah me neither all right uh here's another brain buster for you uh three times three less or more than eight excuse me three times three less or more than eight so that's what you're trying to do you're trying to kick three field goals in the last two minutes of the game no that was smart okay now i got it okay big cat i got you man i never come out never have to get in the end zone where you keep three field goals here's a real math question we ask this to every coach that we have you if you score a touchdown you're down by 14 points what do you do oh how much time is left five minutes left go for two there we go all right you're right there that's smart that's i mean it's just the math play we we did it last year uh against the vikings at home yeah you gotta do it it's the math what if you score a touchdown three minutes left score touchdown you're down by nine well that's just four feet down by nine yeah i mean you gotta just kick the you gotta kick the extra point but you gotta yeah i guess so wait after you score you're down by now yeah you score you're down by nine do you kick a field goal to go down eight or do you go for two go down seven oh after you score yeah after you score yeah i think i think you got to make it uh i think you got to make it the one possession game yeah that one makes sense probably or a three field goal game that's what i call it or that you know i just like to keep field goals so all right well i'm gonna do something that i uh cause i actually like you and it pains me that i like you and i did i did compliment yeah go ahead go ahead no go ahead i was gonna comment i was gonna say that's that means a lot coming from a bears fan yes and i complimented you a few weeks ago i said you were too attractive as a head coach it's [ __ ] like it's just [ __ ] whatever i'm gonna do something i never thought i would do and it pains me to say this but um you guys are gonna win the super bowl this year it's pretty much guaranteed i might actually mortal lock it um if you win the super bowl i'd like you to come back on pardon my take and i will i will eat [ __ ] not actual [ __ ] because pfd has already done that but i will interview you and be like hey coach how is winning the super bowl and it will be the most painful interview of my life but again you guys are guaranteed to win the super bowl so that's what i'm gonna do i i you're definitely trying to jinx us no i'm not i think i think he just wants to get you back here in person and introduce you to his daughter yeah yeah exactly she's probably it's really creepy she's probably a year or two away from understanding that nine is more than eight so that'll be the first math lesson um no but i that listen proclaimed the packers are gonna win the super bowl and matlab is gonna come back on pardon my take as a super bowl winning head coach hey you know what congrats let's clap it up for matt winning the super bowl i do have a question for you about about like teams because i'm not going to ask you who you'd be looking forward to or who you want to play in the next round um but i will say i'll ask you this way which team would you most like to beat on the way to super bowl um uh yeah i'm not gonna answer in that question i'll tell you what you know like when you look at it every team is is going to be difficult from here on out that's just facts uh you better bring your a game when you play in a playoff game otherwise you're going to get your ass beat yeah yeah even the steelers anybody that's in this thing and shoot it's every week in the league yeah the teams that don't make it you better bring your a game otherwise you're going to get your ass beat look what happened last week you guys lost the lions you're limping into the playoffs you're right oh you know them all right well we appreciate you joining us i actually like in all seriousness you are an incredible head coach you had a great year it pains me to say all these things um i like look like that it's that meme the wolverine meme and i look at matt lafleur's face and i just wish i had a coach like that but we'll cut all this part all the stuff that i'm saying that's nice about you um worst of luck but if you do win it all which you're going to win it all you're coming back on the show absolutely okay congratulations congratulations super bowl winning head coach matt lafleur you guys are unbelievable man i love it though i love the banter are you are you um nervous about your end of the year job review with like 30 000 owners that get to sit down and tell you what you screwed up oh every day that's all i think about matter of fact you know we had this recent stock sale

bennett iv okay we now welcome on a very special guest it is national champion stetson bennett uh the fourth the fourth stetson bennett iv i mean you have with a name like that you gotta pass it down uh through many generations all right so stetson we appreciate you coming on i know you got a lot of partying to do we wanted to have you on give give the dogs some shine and i know you've probably done a million interviews and everyone's like hey tell us your story we know the story i have a different question to start that first drive on monday night did you know that you looked like the most rattled man in america well the ball the ball when when i fumbled the ball was because it was it was like freezing cold in the stadium it was like 50 degrees in there and so i hadn't started sweating so it just like slipped out of my hands thank god yeah that was uh that start i i bet on georgia and it was the sack and then that i was like uh oh but credit to you i mean like the first two drives didn't go so great but you settled down like what was going through your head when you start the game not great are you saying like was there a moment where it clicked like all right we're good like i can do this this is a regular game just settle down and make your throws yeah like the whole time um you know we're in the first half we just had so many penalties you know the first drive started off with the sack we had you know like three drives start off with like false start or or holden or hands to the face or something like that and i mean we were in like third and 10 plus like most of the most of the first half and it's just it's hard to it's hard to overcome all that stuff uh when you're playing alabama um but you know we we always felt confident especially with our defense um you know playing the way they played um i don't know it was it was just like all right the whole the whole team we were all um like the first few drives we kind of i don't know shot ourselves in the foot but we kind of settled in there after that yeah yeah you ended up settling down pretty nicely there one one other negative play i'd like to hear you talk about though before we get to the good stuff is the fumble because the fumble was very interesting to me because in real time it looked like it was an incomplete pass i don't know how you felt um after the ball left your hand if you thought instinctually okay i fumbled it or if you thought that you threw it forward but the ball ended up going forward i'm not a physics major in fact i don't know [ __ ] about math but i'm pretty sure that if the ball goes forward it means that your hand was also traveling forward right right so what did you what did you think during in the moment were you like oh [ __ ] i just fumbled or were you like okay i'm getting another shot at this no whenever i thought it was gonna be like intentional grounding the whole time um because it didn't it didn't go past the line of scrimmage um i didn't think it was a fumble um until they said it was a fumble after they reviewed it i guess it was one of those things that was so close that whatever call was made on the field was going to stand but no i thought it was i thought it was a pass the whole time um i can't remember for those third down or second down but at least thought we were going to be able to punt the ball away yeah in that moment that was the moment that if you're a georgia bulldog fan you're like oh here we go again this is disaster what what did you say to your guys on the sideline or what did the coaching staff say to you because that to me like the fact that you guys bounced back from that you know kept on scoring in the fourth quarter that was it was so perfectly it was such a perfect sports story because georgia always was a team that choked they have all this adversity it felt like it was happening again and then boom you reversed it all yeah well the huge thing of like the whole i mean because you're right like when we got down um you know this pass in the sec you know and then i threw two picks in the second half and just kind of like all unraveled and even um last year at bama um it started unraveling in the second half um and then when i threw that thumb or i threw the fumble see i thought it was a pass but whenever the fumble happened um yeah if i was a fan i'd probably be start freaking out too but um i don't know we it thank god the defense kept us in like a one score game the whole time um so all we had to do was go down and score they went for two and so we went for two didn't get it but we were still up one point um and then we we stopped them and just went down and scored again um yeah i have to tell you i so my tweets during the game i i had like back-to-back tweets they were probably about a half hour apart one that just said that stetson bennett were [ __ ] and then the next one said stetson bennett i never doubted you in all caps so um i never doubted you that was a joke when i said we're [ __ ] yeah you know yeah i think um i saw one oh maybe the sec championship game that you put out that was in complete support of me so i appreciate you never wavering okay yes yes i i think that was probably maybe also a sarcastic tweet but yes i never wavered two times i went game of the year on you guys and and you and you paid me off by being incredible down the stretch that touchdown pass uh the 40-yard bomb you knew that was you knew you were getting a free play right there but it i mean it was still an incredible play but did you know it was a free play yeah and so we called that one on two because the the drive before was i thought he might have been out the sack fumble um he he jumped the cadence we went on one um and so going forward like we can't just keep going on one they're they're timing it up and you know great rushers um so we went on two i saw the flag being thrown we had already called two goat balls on the outside um so i knew i was going to go to a.d um and you know whenever whenever they jump offsides it's it's a free play and so you just you know trust the guys and throw it up yeah put it put it on a dime uh i was talking to my friend brandon walker this morning he texted me and he found out that you were going to be on the show um he he asked me to ask you a question i'm not going to ask you the question he wanted me to ask you um because he just basically wanted me to say hey stetson tell brandon that you're not mad at him um but do you do you feel bad for putting him on blast for not reading your instagram messages and also for him hating charity well well i didn't feel bad bad in the moment i was trying i was trying to get our charity out there and i think it worked i don't think dave would have would have tweeted out if i wouldn't give him something about um brandon um so we got that out there but he texted me and or he dm me and i hadn't i hadn't checked my um instagram and i kind of read it and then i had to go do something and then he apologized and then i think i opened it and didn't respond and so then he said i donated two thousand dollars i'm so sorry and so i felt awful like like it looked like i was just actually pissed at him but i dm'd him back and and said i wasn't that mad i was just you know trying to get a little story for the for the fun it was no way he donated too much i if if he did i could believe that he did because brandon was so shaken up that he looked like he was a fraud when it came to being an sec football guy yeah that i feel like two thousand dollars even wasn't really enough if he wanted to buy his way out it's true of the shame yeah like in other words brandon's ego is worth two thousand dollars to him if i were in his position i would i have to think that my own ego would be more expensive than that you gotta you gotta like believe in yourself brandon two thousand dollars is chump change that's facts um i found the tweet by the way uh i said on december 4th i said thank god i'm putting my son to bed right now and didn't see that pick six from stetson bennett that [ __ ] [ __ ] head parentheses just a kid yeah that was sarcastic yeah that was sarcastic yeah yeah yeah now that that made me feel a lot better after we lost the sec championship game i got a good laugh out of it because you're sarcasm yeah i mean i was putting my son to bed i didn't see the [ __ ] [ __ ] head pick six you threw so i was like yeah do you uh do you actually like do you pay attention to the negative stuff that people say about you are you a guy that feeds off that or do you just kind of try to shut it out as much as possible um i don't know i mean it's hard not not to hear especially whenever like when you do throw a pick six in the sec championship game and you're like having doubts you're like kid lord man like did i lose that game first and then everybody else is telling you that and so i mean yeah it it creeps in your head and you have like long nights and i don't think i slept before the michigan game um and before the national championship i couldn't go to bed to like 2 30 i'm just sitting there wide awake um so i mean it gets to you but there's really nothing else you can do other than just go to practice and watch film and try to get better yeah your bounce back has been incredible every time that you've you know not even talking about the transfer and playing at junior college and coming back it's it's an incredible story i do think that like we just saw the kurt warner movie i think you need to hold out for your life rights for as long as possible because someone is going to try to write a movie about you you need to we can act as representatives on your behalf if you'd like um it'll just be a verbal deal yeah 10 um can we hold out yeah here's the here's the general plot um ugga he's got a boner the entire time is that work all right so you're just rolling through ideas you gave adam sandler yeah yeah but yeah pretty much yeah i mean we only have one idea and we just you know it's like when you have a play yeah the defense can't stop it so we're just going to keep running it um i do want to talk so you went on good morning america um i don't know if you saw we we interviewed joe burrow after their national championship pretty much the same exact setup like right after the game we were all drunk uh like how drunk were you when you had to go on good morning america that sucks so bad yeah well the problem was like the problem was it was just it wasn't like a zoom call like this so i couldn't see michael and i couldn't see myself so i had no idea what i was looking like i was just talking to just a circular camera so if i could have seen myself i probably would have been like leaning over to the side or i don't know i probably could have done a better job um but i mean i got out of the stadium at 2 30 in the morning the interview was at 7 40 in the morning like it's tough after you won a national championship that's a tough spot yeah to be there i i think it's [ __ ] that they make you do that interview they should at least pay you because you're out there this is like the best night of your life you should be able to fully enjoy yourself and anybody that shames you for being drunk or hungover the next day that's that's just that person telling on themselves that they've never won a national championship because that's what you're supposed to do after the fact if anything they should either pay you money to do the interview or you should just do the interview with somebody who's equally as drunk as you are so that way nobody can point at you and be like he's the bad guy we're all in the same boat together so um i i personally didn't have a problem with it it's tough when you do that interview um like there's a difference between when joe did it with you guys and me with like the most professional morning show in america the you know good morning america so um yeah that was that was a tough spot i got a few texts my grandma called me over that one wait are you saying we're not professional just because we slept in the same we were wearing the same clothes we slept in and we were all three of us like pretty much borderline blackout drunk while doing the interview yeah no no i think you guys are just more uh accepting that's what i would that's what i was saying not one question question your professionalism because i would say that makes us maybe more professional that in the middle of one of our biggest like benders of our lives we took the time to do our job i'd say that's very professional michael strange so you guys are you guys are method interviewers you want to be on the same level as the people you're you're interviewing i i think you get better answers that way yeah if you're throwing up while they're giving an answer that usually makes them more comfortable um but yeah i have no problem with you with you doing that interview i just think it's mean that they make college kids do that interview on the best night of their life yeah i'm on your side on that one yeah um i'm curious to know about uh your coach kirby smart about his vertical leap because i don't know if you've seen the replay of of that interception at the end of the fourth quarter but he probably got like 36 40 inches off the ground on that were you shocked to see how athletic he still could be i mean no i mean he's really i don't know he's like 40 something i mean he was like the essie or the uga leader for career interceptions um when he graduated so he's got a he's got a pretty good athletic bone in him um now he never does he never really runs with us um but i don't know i'm he's still got it he he did a high dive off of um the um was it stegman our pool we call it stegman um and he did a few flips so you know he he's he's pretty athletic yeah uh all right so my last question i i would imagine everyone said this to you but i'm curious if it really has said in that like stetson bennett you're you're set for life like you are you're a legend forever has that i like you know it but has it really fully set in that like you're good you've you admit you've accomplished something that people didn't think you could ever accomplish and the story is incredible has that all set in no um no it hadn't set in but like i don't know like is it like it's cool to have like that insurance in my back pocket um like i could probably go do a cash grab sometime whenever i'm like need cash but like i don't know i tried like it's kind of weird to like think about i can i still want to like do some stuff with my life besides just live on this you know that's true it's a good it's a good counterpoint because you don't want to be like oh that you know nothing ever cool will happen in my life again but i do think it's more just like like you said your back pocket like hey i can you know i i guess it's not even very few people get to be a legend in a certain town or city or area and you are forever a legend in the state of georgia that's pretty cool yeah that is cool that is cool but i don't want to no it is cool yeah you're right i'll it'll sink in at some point these past like three days have been such a you know blur i haven't really had a chance to sit down and talk with people and see how cool it was for like me and my teammates to win oh wait i actually had one last question um yeah then pfd's got one uh kirby smart when he takes off his visor it's tough right like every time he takes it off i'm like uh i don't want to bet on this guy why because of his hair yeah it's just i don't i he just he's one of those guys or everyone knows him that just looks better with a hat on yeah he's got yeah he's got like the the coaching um visor i think spurgeon started that whole thing um he kind of looks like he's about to go golfing whenever he has it on too like every time he's got like that country cup look yeah yeah i feel like his face gets bigger when he takes the visor off it just kind of yeah it looks like the divisor's like a belt for his cheeks yeah when he freaks out and he takes it out and his like face swirls up and yeah yeah that guy i'm like oh no what did i just do like kirby smart like that's and it's also the name too it's just i i need him to keep the visor on at all times to keep me calm okay all right i'll talk to him about that uh my my last last question is just about your name stetson bennett iv is an all-time name you probably get that a lot you probably know it's a cool name i'm curious to know what goes uh through your head if you're planning for the future and uh and you have a child does it have to be does your first born son have to be stetson bennett the fifth or do you meet him and do you look at him and you're like is there a possibility where you're like maybe this isn't stetson maybe i gotta try again and the next one's gonna be stetson yeah no i think um you kind of you kind of hope that they're they're going to be born um good enough to live up to the name i don't think you can kind of say no this kid doesn't doesn't have what it takes right right off the bat it's tough to evaluate a kid you can't give like the the rivals five-star rating on an infant that's tough to do yeah but you must feel like you've like this is really the best way that you could live up to the name in the previous three stetson minutes it's like i want to i won a national championship at georgia i don't think that anyone can ever say i didn't live up to the stats in better name yeah i think i think it helps it does help yeah you're right i found one more i uh you i don't i don't know if you have twitter during the game but i gave you a really good tip i said stetson bennett just needs to remind himself that under no circumstance should he be starting a national championship game and then say [ __ ] it and go ball okay i think somebody read that to me right after the fumble and then when we went down and scored and scored two drives in a row yeah that's when they read it to me yeah it's like dude what are we doing here let's just [ __ ] go out and be legends and you did it like you did it that's that [ __ ] pass both touchdown passes in the fourth quarter were incredible um it was an all-time game i loved every second of that game it was you know obviously because i won but also just the stakes felt so like every possession felt so intense and the stakes so high that it was uh it was an instant classic for sure yeah yeah yeah it was special yeah uh all right well congrats man enjoy it if you're ever in new york love to have you come by the office say what's up and uh yeah go i i mean i imagine you have like the best party ever all day that you got to get to so

figured out this week how to mute words on twitter oh and it's so much better now so wait what are you muting um i muted the bachelor uh nfts crypto and bitcoin oh i just [ __ ] hate seeing people talk about it so you're just a hater yeah have fun have fun being poor my favorite is just people just buy bitcoin and then have it yeah like i don't know what else there is to talk about it but i don't care about buying they're disrupting the market bro the more they talk about it the more people get into it yeah you're actually talking about it right now liam yeah you're helping it we just went up a dollar i'm not against it i don't care increase in value all my apes gone now the next step the next step uh that you need to take is you need to tweet out a picture of you muting words to let everyone know those are always my favorite like muting this for the week thanks we didn't care do you still have your caruso oh yeah i still have my caruso i haven't looked it up in in probably a year i feel like it's increasing price though because caruso's been awesome this year yep so i feel like maybe um you know i got in at the the ground floor of the caruso nft chase down block market i have like seven uh top shot auto porters you know what i know that i know alex caruso listens to the show alex i will sell you a very limited edition nft of you doing a chase down block on james harden you probably remember the play but you probably don't own it so i'll sell it to you for the low low price of fifty thousand dollars it's projected to go up to five hundred thousand dollars in

alex talk to me man let's make some money he's gonna come on the show he was last time he was in new york he was uh i think oh his pup punk was the day that he was here and had an off date but he is definitely going to come on the show um so yeah we'll get that done all right uh pft your fire fest uh my fire fest is the mouse is back in my apartment again oh no you would think that i'd be able to take care of this mouse and get rid of the mouse issue but you can't they get in through every [ __ ] crack everything it's not rats no it's definitely a mouse okay i know what a rattler is i've seen i've seen a rat um this mouse i i thought i killed it a couple days ago because i left out a weed brownie someone somebody broke into my house and put a weed brownie on the counter top yup and i saw it i called the police immediately when the police were on their way over the mouse took the brownie ate it i thought it just fell asleep and and died and having the coolest mouse little dream ever and then i caught another mouse the next day well there's multiple and now there's another mouse that's coming in yeah i don't think you get one mouse there's a i always assumed it was just the i think that's the the problem with mice i like most people just buy mouse traps and pfd is like i'm just going to give it drugs yeah why don't you just buy muscle no i did i caught one right yeah i got mouse traps but these little human or inhumane the least humane that i could find the snap yeah you love it they love it i love the snap the snap is good because you can hear it when it goes off yeah and then you hear it squeal the humane ones the glue trap ones are actually the least humane that you can get because they get stuck to it and then they try to bite their own legs i'm not slowly dying i'm not doing that but i'm trying to figure out how to how to get all these mice and it's impossible basically because if you live in an apartment even if you live in a nice one which i i feel like i live in a pretty nice apartment there are tiny little holes yeah everywhere that they can climb through and i guess my neighbors are slobs those holes are there so you can breathe oh that's how the air gets in yes okay got it so i should shut my windows yeah they poke holes in in every apartment okay before occupancy so yeah i'm [ __ ] because i guess i'm never getting rid of these mice yeah there's a lot of mice there's you definitely have a lot of mice you need a ferret there you go okay now now we're talking the smell of a ferret will make all pests but then you have a ferret who keeps the mice away right but like i would rather have mice and a ferrari you're choosing to own a raft yeah billy you just got a bigger mouse or they they had carol they actually have these like plug-in things to the wall that send out some sort of electromagnetic sounds like one of those things you put on your car to keep the deer out from in front of it yeah those are talking about but they don't they definitely don't work um what if what if i just got a cat yeah you could get a cat wouldn't can't be a better thing to get than a ferret because lisa cat knows where to [ __ ] yeah i should bet on it we should do a bet yeah yeah cat bet okay cat bet um just get one you won't get one okay there it is that's the bet if i do get one then i get to give to hank after i'm done with it okay right after it kills the mouse yeah on behalf of hank i agree okay deal uh all right my firefest is i got drunk on friday night way too drunk in our new bar in chicago and i was hungover for like four days so that sucked yep i did pull an all-time uh little old hockey trick for anyone out there who's maybe getting up there in age like billy 23 years old that is at a bar late and wants to leave and by late i mean it was 10 30. i uh i got i just bummed a cigarette and then walked through the entire bar and just like loudly said i'm gonna go smoke a cig i'll be right back and then i just went to 7-eleven and got some hot fries and m m's and went to sleep so that's that's a move anyone can take with them just like i'm gonna go smoke a cigarette yeah she's like i'll be right back i'll be right back you're like oh big guy you're leaving no no no i'm literally smoking this leg like stain stay right here i'll be right even so like an hour i got back an hour after i left eddie texted me because we were like kind of in the same area and he's like dude it's crushed over here is it like a little bit better by you and i was like no man it's chaos over by me while i was laying in my bed just give the illusion that you're still there because no one everyone gets so drunk they don't remember when did people leave did they come like people last memory of me is saying i will be right back smoking a cigarette and they just never saw me again i become a big fan of the irish goodbye in fact i i almost exclusively do an irish goodbye unless there's one person that i'm like close with that i know is also going to be doing an irish goodbye to everybody else then we almost have like a mutual like pact where it's like i'm gonna irish everybody and i know you're gonna irish everybody just but just so you know i'm about to irish people right now so you give it like five minutes yeah you you make it up no and listen i was i was with some friends i told my friends i was leaving but like the problem was it was obviously the opening of of the barstool bar in river norris so like we had a bunch of barstool people there everyone knows us so it was more for the whole general public that like i'm not leaving at 10 30 but i left at 10 30. got you and it was great i had this idea a few years ago i think we might have talked about it at some point on pmt but doing a hangover crawl instead of a bar crawl for those of us that are maybe getting up there in age a little bit where you know the hangovers hit us a little bit harder you do a hangover crawl the next day where you just go to a bunch of bars that have like really low light very soft amicable music playing the background you start out the day with like one bloody mary or mimosa but then the rest of the time you're just like they just serve you water and you just lay down on couches i think you should have to talk to your parents you should go one more you should go uh hangover crawl you wake up maybe go get like a greasy meal then you have like you go to a place that has like the nicest bathrooms ever so you can sit on the toilet for an hour then you go get like a steam sauna yeah then then maybe a quick like one of those napping pods so it's actually not even a bar it's actually like a full restorative hangover experience yeah no i i agree with that i just think that the first place that you go should have a mimosa or a bloody mary so you get one of those one and then you go to a place that serves like tacos or hamburgers and again like extremely low light very comfortable chairs and then yeah you just you nurse your body back together but you're not expected to talk to anybody right right you can just kind of giggle uh so a spa yeah spa yeah i'm talking about spa or just do it at your house and turn off the lights um get get get door dash and turn off your lights billy yes i was doing some research for the show and uh just seeing what i could contribute and i found this link uh you know that was very prevalent because it was a recent report that was turned out to be false that john cena had died so i decided to share and uh it had gone very viral in burma india the united kingdom and i had been making waves in the united states so i decided to you know send it to the group chat as a contribution billy we were never going to sell you out that was one of those ones that like the the play that we drew up in the coaches meeting you know the head coaches aren't going to say well that was billy's play but it was but we were never going to say that it was a good topic yeah it was always a pick six and then and then we kicked it off and and we fumbled we muffed the return and they got high steps yeah in theory it was a good question to ask i don't fault you we're listen we're process guys not result right guys right the process is good yeah yeah anyway good weekend practice also i don't think that burma has been a country for like 30 years but that's fine who cares um my fire fest is uh relating back to last episode posted the notes app apology on instagram unless you listen to the episode you're probably wondering what's going on and some people in my inner circle they were uh but that was your concern that was the genius of it i don't know if you did that on purpose but i loved it because it really if you weren't listening you thought that you had said something very bad yeah so friends and family reached out one of the people who also reached out was my grandma oh she were you on mushrooms no okay uh she replied to my insta story where i posted the apology with a sad face then she texted me what happened was that was that a joke are you okay with your nasal spray i'm like like it's not a joke he's been making mistakes because he's addicted to the spirit yeah it's okay the nasal spray is a real issue though yeah for anybody out there suffering we don't want to minimize don't go longer than three days in a row or yeah i mean two days max for a different bendy so you don't want to make people scared that's what i did because of the snow tap yeah um have you have you gotten any like messages of support from people yeah tons yeah awl's picky on this yeah we'll pick you up yeah it's all good it's okay don't beat yourself up no i won't we're good but do beat yourself up it's very funny when you do it is i mean it's it's my favorite thing ever which he gets disappointed in himself because we joked on the way out on when after we finished tuesday's show because like jake makes two mistakes in like a matter of 10 days i think pfd and i if you fact checked like everything we say on this show we make like 16 mistakes each a show we're we're very wrong all about everything like i don't all the time if i'm right about something i'll think back and be like holy [ __ ] i can't believe i got i was actually accurate with that what's the saying you do 99 of things right and one percent wrong what will people remember yeah but we actually do where it's like we do so much wrong stuff that we say one right thing and everyone's like wow these guys are geniuses yeah damn they're on their game and then what did you say if i feel like a few months or years ago you're like uh you never want to be too above average yeah be perfectly average about something because if you're too high or too low people will realize if you do anything spectacular in your life people are gonna expect you to keep doing those spectacular things you wanna just be an average guy all the time because then no one's gonna be like oh let's get him to do this i mean it's right you know it's almost it's kind of like the eli manning debate like he you know he people end up bashing him because his career yeah for his career being like not as good as the super bowls i don't know it's just you know it happens yeah i just came up with this as we were saying that if we made like an instagram page of quotes like that like not like inspirational ones but yeah just be average but never never make expectations for yourself like like like uh taxes are optional henry lockwood of context quotes yeah no but just but just basically an entire quote page that that makes you a true scumbag in life yeah like the opposite of the success win guys yeah like if you think exactly like gary vee with a brain injury yeah that's i think i said last week like i never want to do anything that sharpens my mind i want it to get duller and daughter as daisy and stuff like that like that yeah right now like or gary veebee and like learn something new every
