Nate Bargatze In Studio, Zach Wilson Disaster Class, CFB And The Return Of Guys On Chicks

Uh, credit to us for coming in on Sunday morning. Yes, awesome, awesome interview. One of the like best dudes out there, had a great time with him.

Uh, he's got a podcast, he's on tour all the time, go check them out. We're going to talk some college football, college football Wednesdays. We have a jets discussion that needs to be had with one producer named Memes.

We're going to do some hot seat cool thrown in the return of guys on Chicks, guys on chicks, officially.

That's right, NBA great Steph Curry goes from the court to the screen and this comedy mockumentary, that's pure gold. It's got basketball style and epic lie that's bound to come out eventually. You know what they say, ball, don't lie, but sometimes people do.

Don't miss Steph Curry in his first scripted TV role, Mr. Throwback, streaming now only on Peacock. Okay, let's go. It's part of my tip.

November 8th And my God, they got to stop putting Zach Wilson in prime time games.

Yeah, no points which hurt people.

He's not like, Oh, I'll just take this little sack here, this little five yard sack. No, no, no. He's like, How far back can I get before I take this sack? How can I make sure that even I there there? There's a theory floating out there that Zach takes such great third down sacks so that there's never even a doubt of going for it.

Um, he, he looks confused in the middle of plays, like after he takes his drop, and he looks somewhat competent as he goes back there. And then, uh, as soon as anything off schedule starts to happen. He looks like he had never run that play before and he has no idea what his receivers are doing. It was offensive line is doing Troy. I love it when Troy Aikman gets frustrated at players like during the games because he actually does not hide his disgust for it.

And um, you know, who does hide their disgust for it? Oh, his memes, yeah, because memes just goes radio silent when the jets are.

There were none.

He lost the password. I understand I'm not.

I don't have cell service, hank is doesn't work. Pay for your phone bill.

Oh, I thought, Okay, all right, we'll get you on a hot seat. Cool, so memes?

We also had who. Someone who tries to hide their disgust for Zach Wilson but does a really bad job of it is Robert Salah. After the game, he had one of the meanest quotes you can say about someone after Zach Wilson had a horrific Monday night. Again, their offensive line is bad. We're not going to say it's all on Zach Wilson.

He just loves to run backwards and find a way to just get maximum amount of negative yards. But Robert Salah said after the game, I'm not going to say it was even close to Zach Wilson's worst game. Which is so mean, I actually agree with that, it is true, it's also so mean.

To be like, what you guys just watched was really bad. He's been way worse.

NFC standings took a hit. I put Lions one, Jets two, 49ers three, Seahawks four, Eagles five.

Uh, but they just couldn't muster anything in terms of office, yeah. And the worst part is that was probably the most important game of the season. Oh so, if going into the game, if they would have won, their playoff chance goes to 66, now that they lost, it goes to 33%.

Oh, it's a big hit, it's a 50 drop, basically. The Chargers beat you 27 to six and they had 191 total yards of offense. Yeah, it's not a good Chargers team either.

No, it's not, they did just beat you. Nah, that's not saying much.

Yeah, that's fine, okay, if you're, if you're a Jets fan.

What it like it is. We criticized Russell Wilson for it, Aaron Rogers doing the same thing. Monday night football comes around, Sunday night football comes around. He hops on a plane, goes to New York, throws a ball around on the field. Just so that every camera in the world can catch him and be like, Whoa, this is crazy.

Is he not? is he not with the team? Cause I've been?

I think he's doing this knowing that the media will see him on TV and talk about Aaron Rogers coming back. And he's doing it to fuck with everybody. I don't. There might be an outside outside chance that if the Jets make the playoffs, he's back. And I'm, I'm saying this as somebody. I did put a bet on Aaron Rogers to win Comeback Player of the Year, which was a plus 10,000. So I think I win, uh, I win $10,000, I put a hundred bucks on it.

So I'm hoping that happens. But um, I think he's fucking.

And he didn't cover his mouth. Most of the time, players cover their mouths there. There also is the theory I saw the, uh, one of the Levitard guys threw this out there. That is a good theory that maybe he never tore his achilles.

Oh, at all. And he's just doing this to prove that modern medicine is is fugazi. And he's like, he just didn't tear his achilles, he had a maybe a bad ankle injury. I liked it.

I liked that theory. He did a fake, you know, he was actually in a green screen studio with the picture of him. Uh, in surgery. It was, it was, it was where they taped the moon landing. Stanley Kubrick Field Yeah, I mean, it's. There's only one guy that this theory actually would give me like, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be, like, no chance.

That's true, it's Aaron Rodgers. Like, you couldn't do this theory for Kirk Cousins? No, you could do this theory for Aaron Rodgers, although I.

That, um, uh, what's his name? Bionic? Yeah, Georgia, um, uh, Brock Bowers had no.

Brock Bowers had an ankle injury he had.

Let me just zip tie your ankle together, the doctor.

He's not running around.

I just think that, you know, it's a little much every single Sunday or Monday being.

Cause he did tweet this was cool, uh, and it was just a video of Aaron Rogers coming out on the field. So his wife, I worked for that. That should be his job for the rest of the year.

This is the last. Memes is such a dick, he's such a dick, he's such a dick.

Uh, we threw out all the best names as quarterbacks that should step in on like a week to week based. Can you imagine how funny it would be watching Carson Wentz behind that offensive line? Why not? You want to talk about a guy like running for his life and completely losing it in the backfield, Carson, which would be so funny. He break both ankles.

Sunday night Raiders Jets, Monday night Broncos Bills, Broncos Bills. Kind of fun, yeah.

It's, it's, it is really going to like you. Sure you love football. Watch every single one of these standalone games, then we can tell you that you love football. I do love football, I do too.

We would, if I read that same list to you in July, you'd be like, give it.

They should cut them. I hate Dalvin Cook. Oh, recurring guest Yeah, No, I'm done with the Dalvin Cook experiment.

Yeah, you can still run, you can still run, can't run, that is true.

Good analysis, running backs do run, uh, what? So we're overall means final thoughts. I think the season's over, okay?

Wow, that was quick, that was really quick.

Yeah, that's what's happening, it's Iowa football. You saw the punt return touchdown last night and you're just like, all right, the game's over. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Iowa would never give up upon return. Right, you're right, you're right. Their special teams is elite, but still, to my point, return touchdown.

Game is over and then you just have to watch four.

It felt like it went by the.

Yes, I don't know if you had it on your hot seat cool throne, but I figured they they deserve the, uh, they do have a basketball team hank.

Sorry, back on the hot seat, I figured GMU deserves. I appreciate that. I appreciate the acknowledgement for the University of Virginia JMU.

Um, Tom Izzo. We put them on the hot seat as a take that we were squatting on. Or at least I did back in 2016.

I don't want to lump you guys into my bad. No, I think I've been.

I don't totally agree, but I'm not like, Pft, you're crazy. It was 2016 and Tom Izzo was still.

Cause the conversation is going to happen. We want to be the first ones to say it now. Um, I'm starting to believe it. A Michigan state is the first top five team to lose its season opener against an unranked opponent since 2005. Do you know who lost that game?

It was also Michigan State who lost to Hawaii.

It was like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it. I like watching you do that to my court. I feel like Tom might have.

Uh, James Madison beat them 79 76.

It's Michigan State's first November home loss since 1986 long time. It's also Jamie's first win against a ranked opponent since 1992. Whoa, when we beat um, Jason Kid? I think they were ranked like number 19 in the country. And it was left to drizzle as our head coach at the time.

Uh, yeah, it's. It's very cool. Jamie is a good team, They're a good basketball team, I think they're. They're picked by the coaches to finish first at the Sunbelt. Yep.

They've got some good players. Uh, I will say that Michigan State probably won't shoot as poorly as they did. One for 20, one for 20 from three and 14 free throws missed. Yeah, the first half, they just, they missed everything.

The refs, by the way, refs and the announcers, both them trying very hard to get Michigan State to win that game, They tried so hard. They should be arrested, it should be investigated. Um, I think that there's some funny stuff going on up in East Lansing, but, uh, yeah, they also. You know, Jamie, you played them tough and I don't think Michigan State's going to play that poorly.

They'll probably be fine, but if you beat the number four team in the country, Big Cat in their own stadium. Yeah, you should be number four, you should be number four in the country, you should get to keep it. Jamie, You should be right.

It's a big you walk away with that ranking. It's a big year for Jamie Sports. And not only are we, uh, you know, in line for New Year's Six Bowl. Potentially, if the NCAA completely changed his mind about everything. Um, they always do. Also. We're one and one basketball with a huge win and our soccer team just beat the number one team in the country.

UCF look at that.

I fully swap, I think that's fine.

You assistant coach is the nephew of Thomas Whoa. That is, well, that is opening night.

They win one early, have some moderate, you know, some success, Final fours, NFC Championship games, win one early. Enough. That everyone talks about you in this status, in this tier, that you don't belong. Yeah, and also it helps that he's, he's.

They probably stayed at the gym and practice for about 10 hours last night. Probably has them shooting foul shots. He's going to, he's going to use this as motivation. They'll make a run and I think Michigan State's going to be a pretty good team.

It's, I respect that, that's a, that's a. I mean, imagine, cause, like the guy was, he was an alum old, and, uh, like, imagine holding onto a grudge knowing that you might not, he might outlive you. Yeah, like Jim May, I might still coach and you'll be dead.

And you just outlived that grudge. No, that guy. That's the best moment, he.

To man, he's like, Thank God, that guy's going, I can't watch.

And the red off here? Oh, and one against the spread. It's all that matters. Sorry, all that matters. You should, you should win by more than 14 if you're Syracuse playing who they put.

Hampshire, New Hampshire Yeah, you should win by more than 14. Uh, okay, let's get some college football before we do that.

Use that code at the Hooters app. Okay, college football boys, the monster is back, the monster is back.

Alabama, we all wrote them off, The monster is officially back. Alabama is all the way back. Uh, Jalen Milrow has figured it out.

He's actually been phenomenal since he got benched. Uh, it was Texas game, then he got benched, I think for the USF game, and now he's back. And Tommy Reese and Jalen Milrow have figured this thing out. He is playing out of this world.

Good 63 passing, I think the last five games seven touchdowns, only two interceptions, seven rushing touchdowns. On top of that, he has a stat. In the last five games. Jalen Milrow is 25 of 40 for passes of at least 15 air yards for 764 yards and 11 touchdowns.

And then they're like, you know what, fuck it, Jalen? Just throw a deep, he's got a great deep ball and he's also able to run the ball.

He ran over Harold Perkins.

Like, just every single, every single minute you look back. And it's either Jaden Daniels or Jalen Milrow, or Michael Penix or Kale Williams making an incredible play. But Jalen Milrow, that movie makes. Where he, like, looks like he's not going to run, and then he just hits the turbos and everyone is caught standing in place. He had that one touchdown run where he kind of he rolled right and he, he, he kept his his shoulders, uh, like, cocked for a throw and all the LSU players just stood in place.

And then he just hit the like this little tiny hole for a 15 yard touchdown. It's incredible Washington play football. Because he was so bad in that Texas game and the start of the season. And I was at that Texas game. And Alabama fans were like, Well, how are we going to be able to figure this out? I think I think our take was right from from September.

I think this is Nick Saban's best coaching job. I think he would, he would agree with that. Because what they've done with Jalen Milrow, like his ability, now, they're, they're. They're playing to his strengths. He's able to get outside the pocket, they're not making him a pocket passer. Alabama.

I mean, it's it feels like destiny that they're going to, they're going to play Georgia in the.

You think so?

So they, it's by no means like a gimme schedule for them. But if they end up with one loss and Alabama ends up with one loss, but Alabama beat Georgia, Texas, then Texas gets left out. even though Texas is best. win is over Alabama.

They put Texas and Alabama in. If Washington goes undefeated. yeah, I guess. I guess Washington could still go undefeated. Yeah, so I think they put Texas in over Alabama. Though. You can't have. I mean, head to head has to count, but yeah, it, it.

A Texas team so good that they might even be.

What's what's so funny is I love this time of year. Because we we play out all these hypotheticals, it will all get figured out. I think there will be losses that we don't see coming, that will happen. It will be like, holy shit, I guess that eliminates that team.

Um, it could be, you know. Washington loses, then Oregon catches a loss, and Oregon beats Washington in the packed World Championship. Something like that, uh, or, like you said, Michigan maybe lose the Penn State and all. This is like, what are we even talking about? It's funny, though, because we go through all these hypotheticals. And the thing that I would bet on more than anything is chaos around the country. Alabama beating Georgia and then both of them getting in. Yeah, that's that. We spent all season being like, what if the SEC doesn't get anyone in?

No, that's right. It's like, No, maybe they get.

I agree, I think that I think Penn state.

Yeah, um, not. yeah, yeah, okay, thank you.

You're like.

The fact that there's a there's going to be a 12 team playoff. And so if you have, like, a, you know, two, two losses, that would normally completely sink your season. Are we going to miss how much? Each game means? No.

And the teams eight through 12, when they have one or two losses, we're going to still be playing for a lot. Like Penn State would still be playing for them to get into the college football playoff. Oklahoma would somehow still be alive on an outside chance, like all these teams would still have a chance. So I think it will be better.

It's going to make Arizona should get a cut talk.

So I, yeah, I think it will still be fun. I wish we had a 12 team playoff this year because there is a ton of parody. The the the craziest thing about Alabama. And if you go by this theory, which makes sense, you look at basically Ari Wasserman, who works at the Athletic. HE, it's a it's a very common sense theory. But he actually put a tag to it a few years ago. And so once you put a good name on it, it basically everyone, it becomes mainstream.

The stars matter theory, which makes perfect sense, like having good players matter. And if you look at the recruiting profile of national title teams, it's essentially like, you have to be at a certain threshold to win a national title, you have to have the dudes to win a national title.

And the only three teams that are in that, like, like Upper Upper Echelon, are Ohio State, Georgia and Alabama. So you just let Alabama, who could very well win a national title with the dudes they have, back into the conversation. Dudes matter, stars matter, dudes.

TCU had an incredible run, but if you look at their recruiting profile, it's like there's no chance they can beat Georgia.

Yeah, that's the one thing dealing.

He resigned. Ride or die guy, I think there's never been a guy that I'm more sure that will will not snitch than Connor Stallions. Kept his mouth shut, kept his mouth shut. Now we're in a weird spot where, uh, the Big 10, and as a member of the Big 10, I can say this, uh, are being a bunch of cry babies.

So Michigan did cheat. They probably should get some kind of, you know, suspension or something. But this whole like anonymous meetings of all the Big 10 coaches and ads and being like, Jim Harbaugh should be disbanded, that's fucking cry, baby shit. You haven't beaten him in two years. Don't put your name on it.

You know what I mean? Like, if you want to say the Jim Harbaugh should not be coaching right now, put your name on it. Don't do the anonymous source shit, say, come out. A coach should come out and say he should not be coaching right now. Because then I think all coaches are probably scared. Because then they open up Pandora's box of what are they doing in the gray area?

So I don't anytime. There's like, Oh yeah, all the all the teams met and we don't have anyone on record. But they all think that Michigan should never play football again. Shut up and I love, I love all the extra.

And apparently, uh, whoever is that the name of it, yeah, shut the fuck up, yeah. Fourth and one investigation.

I think it's fourth. And one private invest is it is his entire law firm. Just based around of, uh, like drawing those lines on the field to see whether or not Michigan made a first.

So whoever was in charge of the investigation illegally accessed some of Michigan school records, which is, that would be. It would be so perfect if, like, they committed an actual crime in order to set up, uh, Michigan, or uncover, uh, a fake crime, a college football crime that Michigan was doing. And then somebody ended up having to go to jail for a federal like data security crime and got Jim Harbaugh fired. Which college football fans are so crazy? They'd probably take that deal? Yeah, yeah.

I'll do two years, yeah, send me off. Connor Stallions would do life in prison if it meant Michigan won a national title.

The problem I have with Connor Stallions and this is where it starts to get fishy for me. He is like a big Opsec guy, right? He knows about, um, you know, espionage, he knows about sign sealing, covert operations. Why did he put his name on all these transactions?

Why did he put his name on the ticket purchases, knowing that he was on record as being on the Michigan staff? Like, something, something with that is a little bit fishy. That doesn't add up to me for him. Is he is, he is. Is it actually Jim Harbaugh? And he made up Connor?

That's our, that's our defense and they. It is funny, cause the N.C.A.A changed their bylaws. Uh, I can't remember as a few years ago, where they basically make, uh, every college football team. They can, like, prosecute them under the RICO Act, where it's like, you can't know, college football coach can say, well, I didn't know. There is like, if you, if he's employed, you knew, but that's what they're going to have to try to prove.

Yeah, they're going to have to sit, show how Jim Harbaugh knew otherwise. They'll give him a slap on the wrist and Connor Stallions be gone, and then Michigan be like, Well, yeah, we. We didn't know he acted alone.

So if you're the big 10, actually, if you're.

So you don't want anything to come out in the next couple of weeks. You're not going to be, you're going to be putting off meetings left and right, you're going to be changing calendar invites. Saying, Oh, sorry, I didn't get that I was on. I thought it was in central time, not Eastern time. They're going to be absolutely holding this investigation up because the big 10, they do have all the power.

So the Big 10 could have said, we're going to let the NCAA handle this and we're going to put in their court, but the Big 10 is investigating. And they are the ones that could do something about it if they, if they found something. But also if you're the big 10, you wouldn't, and why would you? Because you've got a team with a chance to go to Natty and then you all get money, you know what?

You can't. If you're the big, the Big 10 should be investigated under the RICo Act. You?

All right, NCAA, you take forever. What's going to end up happening is Michigan's going to play the whole season, nothing's going to happen.

Like, a year from now, they're going to be like, Oh, Michigan, like, Uh, you, you can't have like 10. We're taking away 10 recruits, yeah, and then Harbaugh is going to be gone, yeah.

Um, and then we'll all be like, Okay, well, I guess that's how it's settled.

I don't have to say word lawyer. Yeah, that's all you're going to say. Shut the fuck up.

Friday's lawyer Yeah, yeah, pretty much yeah.

That's all, yeah. Like Michigan can very easily get away with it this year, and then who knows what happens in the future. They want to win a national title this year, what they can prove.

But if they win a national champ, that's that is, I think my dream scenario is that Michigan wins the national title.

Um, all right, a couple other things we've got to touch on. Bedlam was awesome. I'm happy for Oklahoma State having Oklahoma leave, uh, and the rivalry be done.

You had to win that last game. The non PI call was hilarious because I have no problem with Big 12. Officials were like, Yeah, fuck them, and, uh, they, what did they play? They played some, Taylor Swift after.

I think it was never getting back together, so I'm happy for Oklahoma State. That was great. They were playing good football, uh, they could easily be in the Big 12 Championship game.

So I'm happy for Oklahoma State. Mike Gundy They you have to win your last game if your rivals leaving you for for.

For how when was I'm 40?

I'm a man speech I was 2007, 10, 15 years ago, it was so long ago.

And he's, he's got seasons where he flashes, where you talk about their offense, this year, it's not their offense.

He's, he's gotten into a dark horse heisman, which I think, the Heisman, by the way. Uh, now that Jaden Daniels lost to Alabama and he's been playing phenomenal, it shouldn't. His defense shouldn't count against them. I think the Heisman is going to just come down to. If Oregon and Washington play in the Pack 12 Championship game, Bonick's or, uh, Michael Penix, who plays better? And it would be so awesome, so after the mean, yeah, like it would just be full circle.

Bonick's just, I think it was last week, um, hit. The most college football games played as a quarterback, you know, it'd be great.

Yeah, a little reciprocity here. Yeah, um, but, uh, the way LSU played before their quarterback got knocked out. Like, you could make the argument that they deserve to at least hold firm in the.

Alex Grinch, one of the most confusing defensive coordinator Uh, jobs for. It feels like forever we've been talking about him. Um, he finally got fired because that was pathetic. USC and they're tackling and just guys. And like every single time Michael Pennix dropped back, there was a guy wide open.

They don't tackle, they do not tackle Kale Williams. People were were getting on him for crying. I'm fine with it. Yeah, I'm okay with crying.

Cry, Why not cry? He's not bad, yeah.

And I, and and I know Sean Lewis is a friend and he went to Wisconsin, but Sean Lewis was not the problem with Colorado. And it felt like Dion is like trying to press panic buttons left and right, and they kind of did. Sean Lewis pretty dirty. And Pat Schermer is a bad coach and they went into that game against Oregon State. They had three points in 78 yards through three quarters.

That offense was not Sean Lewis's fault, like the Colorado's problems was not Sean Lewis's fault. it was that, that.

Like, Sean, Lewis was very low on the list of issues with Colorado, and it felt like Dion just needed someone to blame. And and that sucks, cause I don't think that was the right move. I thought that was a.

I think there'll be, they'll even improve on on this season and then some next year, but right now they like this. They were a nice story to start the year, yeah, cause no one really saw it coming. But um, they're, they're not built to win this year.

It's a weird dynamic for the head coach to openly trash his offensive line. Who's blocking for his son? He also trashed his.

Right, we picked them to win every game this season and I will, I'll tell Dion that.

Okay, good, they did, they found it. This is like a this is a recurring thing for Dion, yeah.

He gets a lot of stuff stolen. Well, he's, he's got swag, maybe change.

Yep, smart move. Oh. Arthur Smith also shaved the mustache. Smart move, smart move.

It's a smart move you got to take, you gotta, you gotta minimize the mistakes that you're. You're putting out there. With, uh, sunglasses and mustaches, all right. Let's do Hot seat, Cool Throne.

Uh, so I wanted to put finger to button, finger to button, Max shot of Max.

Couldn't find my laptop, searched all around Sunday, just couldn't find it. I walked around a hundred times. You guys probably saw me just coming in, looking underneath things, trying to find it, trying to retrace my steps.

Knew I had it here, find my iPhone, had it here. Every time I've left the office, it said, You know, you've left your laptop behind, so I knew it was in the facility, couldn't find it.

Slept on it, so I'll come back tomorrow. Stronger, better, faster, hungrier. Find it Monday. Nope.

Spent all day Monday, I was losing my mind 50 um earlier.

And then I came in and be living at the office. Though I had to do these calls, I didn't, I didn't want to do them. Well, your computer was at the office, I couldn't find it.

I could not find it. So you lost your computer for seven days? No, and you are a couple of days of this company. I lost my computer for a couple of days. The weekend Friday, Saturday, Sunday, as we know.

Uh, and then it's basically one day I lost my computer for one day Monday, uh. And then I came in super early to find it. So I could do this presentation. I have a good outline, I have some thought starters.

I needed to, you know, put it together, can I see?

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

Billy did and just thrown something together. I had about 20 minutes and I could have thrown something together and done a half ass effort. But I have this long, I have links, I have.

That was a nervous fart. Yeah, now, Hank, did you, did you do this outline or did you outsource it to somebody else, like?

Cause, part of the agreement was you were going to change it to acknowledge the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. I did. No, you didn't.

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in the continental U.

S.

It's funny because people thought Hank did that on purpose, but he definitely did not. A hundred percent he thought object was a word like, two years ago, I mean, again, like.

Why? Because you just know things, you grow up and you learn things.

And like?

I'm going to, I'm going to.

Yeah, it was in a desk, uh, that I walked by maybe a hundred times, yeah.

Good, hot start, hot start, all right, uh, and then my cool throne is the Cubs.

Yeah, that was my cool throne, but go ahead, well, I did it first, yeah.

A lot of manager, you know, musical chairs going on, I don't, I don't really know what's going on, I don't know why. Crate Council is like the greatest manager of all time. But Mets fans were really upset that they didn't sign Crate Council and then the Cubs did sign Crate Council. Which caused the Brewers to basically disown him. Oh, yeah.

We've lost Craig, but I've reflected on this. Craig has lost us and lost our community. That's the community. What makes Craig Council this, this messiah of a manager?

Craig Council is a good manager, he's.

Um, and I love David Ross, and it sucked because obviously he probably found out a different way. But I don't think I've ever seen a announcement of a hiring of a manager when you'd never got the announcement of a firing of a manager. It was literally Jeff passing, was like Craig Councils going to the Cubs and then didn't say like, David Ross is fired. I had to wait till for like an hour. And Dan Dockett's reported breaking news I'm hearing David Ross is out my ass, yeah.

So it was a very confusing moment. That's weird. Yeah, it was. It was like, stunning, because I don't think I know David Ross was on a warm seat with how the.

Like, this is the start. And they're also paying them $8 million a year, which is a lot of money. I think that is the highest paid manager, so this is good, I feel good.

I'm excited, I'm sad for David Ross, but I'm very excited about the future of the Cubs. Because it does feel like the sign of, hey, we're now, we're now going to take this seriously. No more like half-ass rebuilding, like, let's go spend some money.

Let's get some really good players. Craig Council is a very good manager. I'm excited Cubs are back, is that?

Basically, that's the end of the World Series team.

Uh, we have a couple left. Is Hendricks, Hendricks on the team?

It's going to be exciting. Um, so I want to touch on something.

There's so many deer, yeah.

And kids and kids, kids can hunt early and you only get, I think you only get one.

So in between Spain and Morocco? Um, a new pot of orcas spent like eight hours going after this yacht and sunk the yacht themselves just straight up attacked it. Yeah, pretty well, guy. No, not orcas.

Don't, I don't, I don't like Orcas. Well, yeah, we know your stance on on Jim Mercer.

Was Tokita the Ursae one? Yeah, well, they. I'm sad that, you know, a human got involved and basically stressed a whale to death, but it was an orca, so it really gives a fuck.

So yeah, they just they, uh, repeatedly hit the yacht's rudder, causing major damage. Any deaths? Uh, no, they got all the people off right before it sank. Yeah, um, but that's, it's pretty good.

I listen, I don't want to fuck with the orcas, I want to, I want the orcas to know, cause they probably they do listen to podcasts. Uh, that I am on their side and I am a friend of the whale. This feels like a a Polish joke Polish Navy got taken down by an orca, the screen door submarines.

Yeah, yeah.

Like, like, if you could translate, you know, cause whales speak to each other and like a reality show, oh, oh, like real housewives of the Mediterranean.

Yeah, it would be sick. Let's do it something to think about, don't?

Stop myself from making a joke.

When we were in Wisconsin, uh, when we were in Madison. For Ohio State, they have like a a tunnel. With all the former coaches. Brett looked good back in the day. Yeah, he looked good. He's a. he's still, he's lost a little weight.

He's still a powerful man.

Let's go sink this boat. I fucking hate the Polish. All right, you're. That was your cool throne, that was my cool throne.

Cause, again, Tom Izzo is on the hot seat. Yes, and also cool thrown. Letter writing. Jamie also wrote a strongly worded letter to the. This is like the fifth strongly worded letter that I've seen float around out there. Um, this is going to be the one that gets it done, though, because it's more strongly worded than the ones in the past.

So yeah, they're just they're on a letter writing hot streak down there, the Ted Kaczynski's of Central Virginia. Yes, um, okay, my hot seat.

So my bad, that's still, you're still, you're still a star. And also his name's cool. I was just like, Yeah, he's a lottery pick, guess what?

Depth issues now, yep, so he could have been a star depth wise. Uh, and then my other, uh, my other hot seat for myself is my parenting. Uh. Quick story time I. On Monday mornings, I take my son to school every day, and on Monday mornings. We have a conversation of whether or not the bears won or lost.

And so I was getting sick of telling him every Monday we get in the car. He's like, did the Bears win or lose? And I got sick of telling him that they lost. So on Monday morning, I explained to him that they lost, but they actually kind of won because they're trying to lose. And uh, cause he gets really excited, cause his his teacher's a Bears fan, so he goes and tells his teacher. Like, when they the two times they've won, he's been able to go tell him like the Bears team won.

Flash forward Monday night. I'm putting her to bed. And I was like, What'd you learn in school today? And he was like, the Bears team lost, but it's they actually, that's actually good. Yeah, so I am now raising a loser, it's good parenting.

He, the fact that he was able to conceptualize tanking that quickly is not good for the future of our relationship and his sports fandom. But he got it, he got it right away, he repeated. It was, you know, 12 hours later, and he.

Uh, what was the tank guy? what was your process guy? what was his name? Memes didn't want to click the fucking button there. Uh oh, he doesn't know it either.

No, he did. He just said, Oh, he's got you off, Sam Hinkley.

But the Cubs are back, Sam's are back. Sam Hinkley drafted an MVP. Also. True, true.

Maybe, and a Did he draft of the week? A player of the week? that might've been after Tyrus Max? he was probably drafted.

That was maybe the quarter of the month, six or six I'm.

Well, uh, clip, that means that will be a nice like start to the montage when, uh, the Sixers lose to the Celtics.

Yeah, that's, that's a that's a locker room upgrade, for sure. Um, by the way, speaking of.

And there are only two cities that are all red, which means under 500 collectively, and it is Chicago and Washington, D.C. Yeah, good for us. You can't laugh at that.

You can't laugh at that, that's our joke, don't laugh at that.

Yeah, flyers, we know that flyer, that's why you're not.

Yeah, you okay. What was that? I thought Colorado was a good guess, Colorado.

Did you forget about the Broncos, the Rockies? and you forgot about the Rockies? Very bad, yeah.

The Rockies was a hope. Yeah, uh, my cool throne is coffee drinkers, cause we've got new Stella Blue flavors out now.

Uh, we had some fall flavors, now we have some Christmas holiday flavors, we have gingerbread and we have butter cookie, both very, very good. I tested all of them. Uh, fine tuned it. Go buy it, sell Blue Coffee.com. They're delicious.

There's nothing better than a nice, warm cup of like butter cookie. Sitting by the fire, sitting by the tree, sitting by wherever, maybe outdoors, crackling fire. Some gingerbread. So go buy it right now, they are very, very good, uh, and some new mugs in the store as well. Jake, finish us off.

My hot seat is Jimmy Clawson. Former quarterback Yeah. Cam Newton came out with a story saying that he initially wanted to wear number two. That was his college number, so he asked Jimmy Clawson for it.

Jimmy Clawson said, All right, that'll cost you $1 million. Thought he was kidding? Clawson said. All right, I'll do it for a lower tag of $750,000. Cam Newton hangs up the phone, calls the equipment manager, says he's going to wear number one. And he told himself that would be the last time Jimmy Clawson will ever be heard of in Carolina.

So that would have been like he needed that extra million dollars. That's just an insane ask like you.

Cause what was Cam Newton's signing bonus? It's big, but yeah, insane. Jimmy Clawson Definitely, uh, didn't play that correctly. insane.

Uh, my cool throne plug, God. The Barstool Sports Invitation It is Game Day if you're listening on Wednesday. huge double header on Barstool.tv, returning Final four team FAU, hometown team Loyal to Chicago and a power conference matchup.

Two tournament teams from last year Arizona State, Mississippi State, Big Cat and I will be in the booth with Dave Portnoy. Uh, we have tons of great coverage.

Yeah, you should. Yeah, I'm going to try to get her box, you should watch the game with.

Nothing better than a little college basketball on a Wednesday night. Also not my words from Ken Palm. The two best games of college basketball are the Barstool Sports invitational today. Wow, fuck yeah.

He ranks the thrill score, like the how exciting each game is, number one.

Yeah, thanks a lot. Hank. Yeah, there's solid 10,.

Do you trust Pete? I'm just saying, think about that. He, he didn't have Wifi, working in an office that runs the internet for about six years. He was fired up yesterday.

He also what he brought out was this little. I don't even know what it was. It was like a, it was like a laser, that, like, he was like, that's the top of the rim, you're seeing it, it says. 10 one.

Yeah, I don't trust him, he's a liar. Get a measure from the base.

All right, let's go, Jake, double trouble, double trouble. It is drama.

Oh, drama and the NWSL guys. This season has been so dramatic that even Nike submitted this season for a Golden Globe.

And if the world is against Rose Lavelle, then it's me against the world. So she's our Queen, she's on the Ol reign.

Let's go Okay, no swan song, and she's on Roosevelt's team, Let's go.

How can you not be rooting for them? Rose Lavelle dominant. So what time is it? 8 p.m. Eastern on CBS Saturday Saturday?

And there's so much drama. It's a Golden Globe, Nike's putting it up for a Golden Globe. They should win, okay?

Okay, good job, good job, Jake. Double trouble on the Cool Thrones. I like that.

We now welcome on a very special guest. You see him everywhere. Now is comedian Nate Bargetti. I, I screw up your name because I saw you did Fallon, maybe, and it was you, you went a whole thing where everyone says Bargetti, and then it's Bargetti.

Bargetti, Bargetti. Sorry about that. Yeah, it was. It was one of those things that I literally woke up.

Great day to start the day. I woke up and I was like, don't say the wrong, don't say it wrong, don't say it wrong. And then when you sit down and you keep telling yourself that you're like.

You just kind of go, all right. Well, it's an a two that screws everyone up, you know? Yeah, there's some stuff in there that messes people up. Italian.

Yeah, it's Italian, yeah, you got a.

It's incredible watching, uh, the last even three weeks. You did SNL, a couple of weeks ago, you did, uh, College Game Day, yeah, now you're doing PMT.

Some say that's the big three. I mean it, we y'all are enormous, so it.

It's been sick of you. I mean, probably I. I'm not trying to make it that way, but it all just kind of snowballed into. You know, these are all things, yeah, besides you guys. Uh, it was, you know, SNL and Game Day. All kind of happened very kind of quickly, last minute, and yeah.

So it just kind of went with it. It must be very.

And then you get to host. So what was the process like during the week? Were you, were you involved with the writing, how, like, how detailed did they let you get behind the scenes?

Or were they like, Hey, here's the idea we have for a script, here's your role.

You're kind of there, you're more like noon to 10 or eight or seven or nine, something like that. Uh, on Tuesday. And then you meet with each writer and then they kind of go like, all right, we're going down this path with this script. I mean, they really make it around the host, so that was the host.

You have a lot more say than you think as a host, and that was something that some people told me, Uh, I mean, as much say as I. Still, you know, you're like, I'm pretty lucky that they're having me on. Yeah, so I'm, I'm. I'm not trying to, you know, be like, Well, I'm at. You're going to do this, you're going to do. But you, you do have a lot of say to go. You know, I don't, I don't do, I don't want to do political.

I don't want to, I'm not clean, so it's like, I don't want to do dirty stuff. And so it was, and I said that there it's. They're just doing pitching pretty, you know, the kind of dumb, silly sketches that they we ended up having. Uh, so they everybody kind of pitches a little bit more. Because they got to sit up and write all night to Tuesday night, I mean, all those, they're they.

Just you go home and then they stay up, I mean, they might be there.

If you're if you're thinking about going to a comedy show and Nate is in your city, you have to go. It is that good. Um, and I. I brought my wife and a couple of friends and they had never seen you before. And the best way I described it, I was like, he does comedy on expert mode because he doesn't swear. And it's not like the raunchy stuff, but it's funnier than everyone else who does that. So, but it really does feel that way. Because us being idiots, when we run out of words, we just say, Fuck, it's a nice, you know? It's like, Oh, I'll just make a dick joke.

So was there ever a point in your career where you were, like, people tried to push you? One way? You're like, No, I'm staying, I'm going to be me and I'm going to do it my way. Because you don't see it very often. And again, you were funnier than pretty much everyone else out there. Uh, well.

You went to church, you did. It was just the environment I was born in. Yeah, and I mean, when I remember when I moved to New York. And people curse more. And then I'd go like, around my friend's parents. You're like, Yeah, well, there's families in New York or Chicago or somewhere where you're like, people just curse, and it's not. It doesn't stand out where it would have really stood out in my upbringing.

Right, and so I just kind of, just kind of kept that. But when I first started, you would have to do late. I mean, I would go on at midnight, one in the morning of these shows and every, you know, some of them be uncensored show and they're labeled all this stuff. And I would just do my act and I would just do it.

And just you just kind of, I think you just do it and just hope no one noticed, right? That was the main thing. You just. Well, I don't think there's.

That's the testament to how funny.

It's, you know, you can do it and then, but don't overly do it. Because you got to, just like, not do it in real life, right? Did that open any doors for you? Uh, I mean, it is now completely and it. I thought it would quicker earlier and it didn't. It took, uh, you know, I kind of just it's been a slow kind of, like going.

It's always moved forward. I could do late night sets. I did a lot more late night sets than most people. I could vary. I could be asked to late night set last minute. Because it's they just knew I didn't have anything.

Uh, I don't ever have to worry about, I mean, when I did a common central special, uh, where you couldn't say stuff, uh, I mean, I would only. The only thing that would be that you can't say Walmart, you can't say McDonald's or or something like that, that'd be the only.

They got this guy. Did you ever, like, have a moment of weakness?

Lewis, You know, Gomez, Jay Gomez and a lot of people from this, this. This comedy world, world and like most of my friends, are some of the dirtiest comics you could ever see. And they're, but they're all very funny. So it was just I was blended in.

Like, when I first got at the comedy, so it was a comedy club in New York. Uh, since I was close with Big Jay, I first got into that club. They would always put me on real late at night and I was like, I can tell that like, they didn't, they don't. They have not watched my set, right?

They just assume I'm with Jay, they assume I'm dirty. And so then they would throw me up at two in the morning and, uh, I, you know, it's like I would be better at 8 p.m. than two, but it helped me. Cause then you gotta make your act work at two in the morning.

You gotta somehow, you know, make it seem like it's I don't know, it's got. I don't, you know, I don't want to say bite to it, but whatever.
