This podcast is brought to you by eHarmony, the dating app to find someone you can be

yourself with.

Have you ever been on a date where it feels like the other person is speaking an entirely

different language?

Not actually a different language, but it's like you're both just completely not getting

each other?

I've been on a first date before with a woman that didn't like golf, she was a workaholic,

she didn't like vacations, and it was clear she didn't get my personality and it showed.

Finding someone who gets you is hard, right?

That's because we're human, and there's lots of different humans out there.

That's why eHarmony helps you bring out your personality on your dating profile so you

can meet someone you can be fully yourself with.

After you've completed eHarmony's compatibility quiz, you see personality-based similarities

you share with potential matches.

When you match based on personality, you're already one step ahead when it comes to meeting

someone who gets you.

So if you're searching for someone you can be yourself with, I'd love for you to try

eHarmony.

Take their compatibility quiz to get started today.

eHarmony, get who gets you.

On today's part of my take, we have our good friend Will Compton in studio.

Last interview in the temporary studio, second-to-last show in the temporary studio.

We do the picks and preview, we're gonna talk some playoff baseball, Fantasy Fuckboys, Firefest

of the Week, Great Friday Show, getting you into the weekend.

Hey sports fans, looking for a new show to binge?

Check out Mr. Throwback on Peacock.

Follow Danny, a down-on-his-luck memorabilia dealer, looking for redemption by reuniting

with his middle school teammate, NBA legend, Steph Curry.

That's right, NBA great Steph Curry goes from the court to the screen in 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.

Welcome to Part of My Take, today is Friday, October 20th, and the Jaguars might be really

good.

Yeah, Super Bowl contenders.

They flirted with it.

They let the Saints, the sad, sad Saints, which they are a bummer to watch with Derek

Carr.

So sad.

Yeah, they figured something out in the second half.

They moved the ball well, but so sad to watch the Saints play football.

But the Jaguars, again, second half got away from them a little bit, but they look good.

It seemed like their scattering report on defense, because their past even stunk coming

into today.

I think they were like 31st in the league and Derek Carr didn't really take that much

advantage.

But their game plan was to just hit Derek Carr in the dick as much as possible in the

fourth quarter.

And it worked.

Pretty good strategy at the end there.

Well, he did, to Derek Carr's credit, he did throw what should have been a touchdown pass

to Foster Moreau.

It got dropped in the end zone.

But they are a bummer to watch.

Derek Carr, when he screws up, he's just, I get depressed watching him play.

It's sad.

It's very sad, especially knowing that Jameis Winston is on the bench, ready to go, do all

the things that Derek Carr can't or won't even attempt to do.

And sometimes it's good, sometimes it's very bad.

But they would be so much more fun to watch with Derek Carr.

It seems like they're just, they're just, they're blocked.

They're like super boring.

They just run.

Every play is within five yards of the line of scrimmage.

She had 300 yards on 55, uh, pass attempts.

I don't think I've ever seen a team, uh, be covered more than the saints.

It doesn't feel like every time you watch the saints game, he'll throw a pass and there'll

be two defenders basically like riding the receiver.

Like they're a backpack.

The only open guy is Kamara.

And he's always open.

Cause he's like two yards past the line of scrimmage.

So they throw the ball to him a million times.

He caught 12 passes, caught 12 passes today.

He's over under was four and a half passes.

Um, what was that stat line he had the other week, 11 catches for like 30 yards.

It was 13 catches, 33 yards, 13 catches, 33 yards.

He did a little bit better than that today.

Their game plan is throw the ball to Camara.

And then, um, once Derek Carr proves himself to be ineffective at everything else, uh,

put the ball and taste some Hill's hands when you really need four yards.

Yeah.

And the Jaguars have won four in a row.

Jaguars have won four in a row.

Five and two looks really good.

Looks really good.

Like I would almost rather be five and two than five and one, five and two.

It looks great on paper, especially when they were wanting to, to start the season.

They go to the Steelers next and, uh, you know, they got the 49ers after that, which

will be a big, you know, statement game of, are they for real, for real say measuring

stick game, measuring stick game, but the Jaguars are good.

They look good.

Like, again, you probably should never let the saints back in a game, but when games

are played and also the Jaguars did, they probably do have to clean up a little bit

of their special teams, uh, because we had the insane play where the blocker on the gunner

just like ran into his own guy, jacked him up, jacked him up.

They had another fumble at the 50 yard line.

Like the Jaguars were, it felt like at points we're trying to be the old Jaguars and give

the game away.

Well, they had that one play on special teams where the guy jacked up his own kick returner

and the other one where, uh, he ran into the saints kick returner way too early.

Yeah, it was, it was bad.

It was that part of that phase of the game was bad for them.

They were up.

Part of this is on us too.

We're like, Oh, they let the saints back in the game.

They were only up 11 points at halftime.

So it wasn't like it was a massive lead, but it felt, it felt huge.

Like they were, they were fucking around with them a little bit in the first half.

And it seemed like this was easily the Jaguars night and it became actually a decent game.

What are you looking for Hank?

I'm just looking at those shoes.

Oh yeah.

You like them?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Nice shoes.

See those golf shoes.

Uh, no.

They're regular running shoes.

I was just staring at my feet.

I was like, what's going on?

I mean, we don't really have much more to say in this game.

It was, uh, I'm glad it was a bad game.

Then it became a good game.

Yeah.

It was really good in the fourth quarter.

I'm also glad that we got the saints out of the way on a Thursday so they can't mess up

my Sunday.

Right.

Right.

That's pretty good.

Yeah.

be able to like focusing on one saints game is it makes you want to punch yourself in

the face, but it's a Thursday night game.

So you've got a standalone game.

There's football on during the week.

That's fun.

Even if it is the saints, I feel like we got the hard part of a weekend out of the way

early.

Yeah.

And it, the craziest part about this saints team is like, they could definitely still

win the NFC south.

They could, it's the saints could be hosting a playoff game.

I don't want that.

So isn't it crazy?

Like it just dawned on me.

The saints have kind of continued to do the same thing after the drew Brees era that they

did during the drew.

They never did a blow up.

They never did a blow up.

They're still in cap hell.

They're acting like drew Brees is still their quarterback.

Like the good drew Brees from like five years ago.

And they're just replacing him with Derek Carr and be like, we'll see if anybody can

tell the difference.

Well, yeah, I can.

That's not actual real coffee.

You replace it with Folgers, Folgers crystals and it sucks ass.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The saints, the saints played the Colts, the bears and the Vikings next three.

Those are all very winnable games for the saints.

So watch out.

All right.

So the good news is we also had for the first half of this game when it was very boring,

we had a playoff baseball, which we should talk about.

Let's, you know what?

I didn't catch the final score actually.

Let's talk about the second game first because the Astros are back.

The Astros who, who would have thought the team that just is been in every ALCS is one

multiple world series, a two Oh lead or two, a two Oh deficit in a series doesn't really

deter them.

Yeah.

They were mashing tonight.

They mashed last night too.

They looked like the old Astros where their lineup's just too good.

Even if they have a couple of down games, you know that those guys are still capable

of getting up there, hitting dingers, hitting triples, playing small ball, doing whatever

they can do at all.

And, and, and Scherzer Scherzer on Wednesday night was not, I mean, we, we kind of expected

that.

He's been very, very bad in October, the last two seasons.

Yeah.

So the, the Astros are, I mean, they're going to win the series, right?

I don't, I don't know.

Cause then we're going to fall into the same trap and be like, Oh, we wrote the Texas Rangers

off.

Yeah.

I guess it is true because the Rangers had not lost a game until Wednesday night.

Yeah.

And we were like, they'll never lose a game.

Then the second they lost one game, I was like, this team fucking stay.

Yeah.

You know what?

I'm going to wait until all the facts come out on the series before I make a judgment

on which team is better.

Yeah.

Let's wait.

Let's wait till all the facts come out and then we'll make a prediction.

Yep.

The other game, I didn't catch that score.

It was two to one diamond backs.

Oh no.

Max saves up all that energy for the Phillies and summer asking, can they win on the road?

Yes, they can.

They won on the road in Atlanta.

So the answer is yes.

Is a system.

Are you okay?

The bank.

I'm okay.

I'm good.

I'm not, I'm good.

Having it be a walk off though.

Do you think the series tilted?

No, not at all.

No, the series is not till tomorrow night.

A must win.

What is going on with you, dude?

The milkshakes were bad.

No, the milkshakes were great.

They were your body is bad because I'm having the same problems as you.

I just aren't.

I'm not making the noise.

I don't know why the noises are coming out right now.

Okay, wait, just be quiet for a sec.

Okay.

Yeah, we're good.

You think so?

Better than good.

Okay.

So who do you blame tonight?

Max?

The bats didn't show up.

The bats didn't show up.

Uh, yeah, I, I, you know what I believe?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I have an answer.

I have a nerd nugget.

Welcome to the club.

Go ahead, Hank.

Philly was the first in postseason.

The seventh inning double play by Philly was the first in postseason history where there

was a six, four, three double play with zero routes and a runner on third that didn't score.

Yeah.

That's bad base.

Right.

But that was, that was diamond.

Oh no.

No, the diamond backs were like, how did that guy not score?

Yeah.

The diamondbacks were the most cowardly.

You thought that was against the Philly.

Yeah.

And then people were like, well, the infield was in it.

You still have to at least try to make them think about it.

Yeah.

They just stood there.

And then he had the same thing happen or not the same thing, but a similar thing in the

ninth when, uh, what was that play?

He didn't know he didn't advance the third.

There was runners on second and third and they went home and he didn't advance a third.

Yeah.

It was crazy.

Who's the guy that you guys put in and released?

Hank, that's fuck.

What was that, the seventh inning or the eighth inning?

That's bad.

Hank, that's really bad.

The guy that has never pitched before?

Ryan Kirk.

That wasn't, he had, he had pitched before.

It was his first time ever pitching.

That's just incorrect.

Okay.

He threw three innings this season.

Chill out.

Chill out.

He's got a milkshake in you.

Three innings.

Yeah.

So is it, you think that's a good strategy?

He's thrown like every other game in the playoffs and he's looked really good.

And he said like the best stuff out of the bullpen.

This is the first time that he was in like a high leverage situation.

I don't, I don't mind giving the kid a chance.

You gave him a chance.

He didn't work out.

It was, he didn't lose the game at the end of the inning.

We were still tied one, one.

We still had a chance to win the game.

Just didn't do it.

We need to pause for a second and just really soak in the fact that Hank really thought

he was about to dunk.

Yeah.

Well, it wasn't true to Nerd Nugget because Nerd Nuggets aren't supposed to be negative

towards anyone.

Shut up.

Yeah.

Shut up too.

That was, that was so bad, Hank.

Hank, you really thought you had something.

Yeah, that's really bad.

I gotta, I gotta do some reflection after this one.

You didn't watch the game.

He was feeling himself after his stupid fucking Hagrid tweet.

That's a good tweet.

I didn't see that one.

I gotta look it up so I make sure not to retweet it.

What went through your head there, Hank?

I did not see all of the game.

So when I saw that tweet, I thought it was in reference to the, like the Philadelphia

part.

I thought that meant the Phillies on base.

When you say that you did not watch all of the game, how much of the game did you watch?

Like four innings.

Oh, you did?

Okay.

I watched the last, the last four innings.

This might have been the fastest MLB game ever.

That was in the last four innings.

That would be the playoff game ever.

Oh, when Dumbledore says you got to kill Buckbeak.

Oh, I don't even get it, but it's funny.

I accidentally retweeted it.

I don't even think it's true.

What do you mean?

Like, I don't think that's part of the plot.

Well, listen, Hank has his...

What are you talking about?

Hank has his own choose-your-own-adventure with Harry Potter.

They have to kill, they have to kill Buckbeak and then Harry goes back and saves him.

I just watched it.

Yeah, they went back in time.

Oh, you actually did?

Yeah.

Max.

Go.

Back to the Phillies real quick.

Are you in a must win tomorrow night?

No.

I have to win one out of the next two.

Have to win one out of the next two.

Oh, we've been here before.

Not really.

We've been here before.

The bank.

Just one at the bank and you're good.

Yeah, you could win it.

I would feel comfortable if you win one.

You got to take one in Arizona.

So this is a got to take one?

Yeah, but you got two more games in Arizona.

Who's on the bump tomorrow?

Baseball goes 2-3-2.

Yeah, I know, but I'm saying, like, you would rather...

It's almost a must win for this one.

You don't want it to go back.

Right.

If you get to a game five, you're already in trouble.

Like, if you get a game five 2-2, you're in trouble.

If you...

No.

If you win game five, you're fine.

100%.

What if you lose the next...

What if you lose game four?

Then game five is a must win.

Even though...

You're not thinking ahead.

We haven't lost at home.

We're 28-11 lifetime at Citizens Bank Park.

Max, I'm going to say this to you really as clearly and succinctly as I can.

No, you play this...

What?

What?

I'm rooting for the Phillies.

I hate when you say that, because we had this conversation.

We had an offline conversation, which I'm fine sharing online.

I'm rooting for the Phillies.

In totality.

They have to get to the World Series.

But you want...

Because if they get to the World Series, I will hedge out, and then I will root against you.

Max, here's the thing.

Big Cat is rooting for the Phillies, but he's not rooting for you.

Right.

He's rooting against you.

If you don't understand this, you need to understand this.

I'm actually amazed that you haven't picked up on this in the last year and a half.

This is what Big Cat's doing.

He wants to see you miserable, but also...

I need to win that money.

Big Cat's willing to go as far as he possibly can.

Big Cat's playing chicken with his own money right now.

Correct.

I want to see Max more miserable for two more losses.

Right.

And then I'll be happy if they win in seven games.

Actually, you know what, because PFT put it perfectly.

I actually think Friday and Saturday are must-wins for the Phillies, because I won't be around you.

So I won't actually want...

I will actually be rooting for the Phillies on Friday and Saturday night.

If it gets to a game six and seven, and we're watching it together, I'm liable to switch back.

No, but that is when you're rooting for the Phillies, though.

Because you need the Phillies to win.

Yeah, but this is where you still don't really totally get it.

If it was a game seven and Big Cat's watching it with you...

Big Cat's brain at that point would turn into, I get to see Max miserable close up.

Yeah, okay, it's worth me losing my bet to see Max potentially cry.

You guys are sick.

I'm just explaining it to you, Max.

I am so sick.

I'm demented.

Okay, but I'm telling you right now, tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to say goodbye to you for the weekend.

You better come back on Sunday with two wins in the back pocket.

You better come back in the World Series.

Because if you don't, and I watch these games with you, there's a problem.

I have a question.

It's a problem.

I have a question.

Yes, Max.

You really think...

I'm rooting for the Phillies, I just want to say before you ask the question.

If we're up 3-2 going home for two games, that we're in a bad spot?

No, but if you go...

Not as good of a spot as 4-1.

Obviously.

If you're up 3-2 going home, and you somehow blow that.

Yeah, that would be...

That might be worth the bet.

Also, I was saying this to Max earlier.

Could you imagine if they blew two in the bag?

Game seven in this series on PMT New Studio opening night.

What a way to open a new chapter.

That would be sick.

That's a great point, James.

Don't let them go seven.

That would be iconic.

That would be great, Max, as a producer of this show.

Max, numbers.

No one wants to watch new background.

Okay, well, either way.

Go.

Are you even coming in tomorrow?

You're not coming in tomorrow?

I'm going to the new office tomorrow.

Okay, so I'm going to say goodbye to you in like 20 minutes.

You go and get two more wins, okay?

I would love that.

And then I'll see you on Sunday.

You come back to me on Sunday with two wins,

and I'll give you a nice big hug.

Kiss on the lips.

For the boys.

I do want to win this bet.

I really love seeing you miserable.

It's addicting.

Game seven from the new studio would be a delight.

Oh my God, would it be incredible?

Yeah, so new studio, everyone who's watching,

please subscribe to the YouTube.

Sunday night, we'll still be here.

And then Tuesday, we'll be in the brand new

part of my take studio, which I have a prediction.

I think people are going to love it.

The setup is great, but I think there

will be a little adjustment where people

would be like, oh, they're there.

They looked, it looks too clean.

We will mess it up.

Just don't, don't worry about that.

Cause I saw it.

I went the other day and it like, you know,

like when you first are going to see it

on YouTube, you definitely gonna be like,

holy shit, it kind of looks like a TV studio

or something.

Just wait.

Yeah.

Don't worry.

Listen, life finds a way.

You could give us any room in the world.

And if you give us six months in there,

there's going to be puke, blood, tears,

just junk everywhere.

It'll be great.

I actually, I'll save it for my Fyre Fest.

I have a story about this.

Don't, don't you worry.
