It's part of my take, presented by Bosco Sports.

Welcome to part of my take. Today is Wednesday, August 2nd, Grit Week, presented by Coors Light. And we are podcasting from a Hole, the first ever podcast from a Hole. We're in Sandusky, Ohio, inside of a hole. If there's ever a time to subscribe and watch the show on YouTube.

It'd be this episode, Low Man wins perfect for Grit Week, right? No one's ever done a lower podcast than this before. It's kind of like we're in a coffin simulator.

We are below sea level. It is one of the dumbest things we've ever done. For people who are maybe new to the show, or maybe Bill's fans are showing up for this episode. We had the idea about a year ago because we had a Monday reading. A girlfriend wrote that her boyfriend was just digging a hole in their backyard every weekend and she was concerned. I think he was actually sneaking away.

To dig a hole, to dig a hole. He had a field somewhere else. Some guys have a second apartment that they take their ladies to. He had a second piece of land that he just went out to and dug.

All the time, yeah. So we're like, Oh, we should dig a hole. Then time passed, as it always does, and we got to this moment and we're like, Fuck, we have to dig a hole. And we got out here mission accomplished, and we dug a hole, and now we're podcasting from our hole.

And Jake ate a worm today, and Jake ate a worm today.

A live worm, yeah, that video, which will be coming out soon.

Jake did ask us, he's like, should I kill the worm first before I eat it?

Yeah, he's like, is it going to cut? What if I poop it out? It went down, just like my allergy meds. Jake, can you please sit back in the hole for us?

Yeah, I mean, the Mets basically gave up, the Mets tapped out.

The Mets The Mets are quite a funny organization because, if I remember correctly, we have a lot of Mets fans in our lives. And when they sign Justin Verlander, they're like, It's World Series time, Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, who could stop us? And now they're celebrating August 1st, trading Justin Verlander to the Houston Astros, back home to the Houston Astros.

Coming home.

And yeah, the Mets, I guess, are back into a rebuild. I don't even know.

Big rebuild. So I actually, I saw this article. It came out on The Athletic just a couple minutes ago. I should write an Athletic Premium Plus article about this, but this is a real article.

I'm going to sit back real quick.

Max Scherzer, talking to the Front Office, said I talked to Billy Scherzer told The Athletic. I was like, Okay, are we reloading for 2024?

There we go, they're ready to go. I also have a report from someone inside the Mets organization who contacted me and said, I'll never see a Mets playoff game. Won't contend for four but decade.

Not Frank the tank, not Frank, okay, he said. Four bucks, yeah, for a decade.

Three and a half years, yeah, that's way less than a decade, yeah, new process.

Because you are a Mets fan, I would like to see, come you were celebrating memes. Yeah, you were celebrating. There's plenty of room in this hole for you.

Memes Should I get in the hole? or our top dishwasher? Come in this hole, man?

Of that doesn't sound too good. What about 2026 memes? That's a long time away. Yeah, that's dumb.

You're rich. Yeah, I'll say it right now, 2026 is never going to happen. in 2026 we'll dig another hole.

Do, though, actually, yeah, Jake, remind me to put an off-season future on the Mets in, Uh, 2026, February, February, 2026, yes.

It means it's a better value before the winter meetings. Oh yeah, yeah, I should do that, right.

After World Series Yeah, October 31st November 1st, 2025. Okay, I'm in.

But at the same time, I think Uncle Stevie's learned the lesson that basically every new owner makes. Is like, they come into the league and they're like, I'm just I'm rich. I'm going to buy people and then it doesn't work out the first time around, yeah.

People who are a thousand years old. Yeah, I love calling him Uncle Stevie. Cause I'm sure there's some Mets fans listening right now that are just cringing at the thought that they actually said that.

Like the filmmaker that's getting taken on a tour of Vietnam. Yeah, uh, all right, other other.

Uh, big deals. I saw the O's got Jack Flaherty from from the Cardinals, so that's good that.

The the Orioles did something, those are all in all in, as the Orioles will ever be all in as the.

Orioles will ever be, um, I saw there was, uh, who was it? uh, from. The Tigers denied a trade to the.

DodGeRS Yeah, I don't see. Very often. It was on one of his 10 teams not to be traded to list.

Funny if he, just like, hated Gavin Newsom. Yeah, that was why Colorado it was, it was Wardo Rodriguez. Um, I saw that the uh, white socks were selling a bunch. They're, they're back in a reset.

Happened with Mancini? He got DFA'd, Uh, I think so, I don't know they're, they're doing stuff.

With rosters, cause they they did trade for a couple of guys. I love Mancini. Yeah, good guy.

Yeah, Hall of Fame guy, better guy than he is, he's never, he has never been dFa'd as a human.

Yeah, and the Philly's got a starter, so that's something. Max. Sure, this is baseball talk, baby.

Everything fixed everything. I also heard that the Padres were considering trading one soda, which would be crazy, which would be insane to do. Yes, Nats won that trade.

Fun fact Rich Hill is still in Major league baseball. That was crazy to me. Old Money Mountain, Yeah.

League baseball, he's been on four teams last three years. What about your Yankees, Billy?

Your Yankees making some big moves and talking to shovel Billy and do shit.

Talking to Shuffle, No. They got, um, yeah, right-handed reliever from the white socks.

CanyOn Middleton Yeah, exactly an hour ago. Since July 1st, 29 teams have made a trade since July 1st.

Corrected That has been corrected. All right, Jake, sit down, you're making me uncomfortable.

Oh, he did one, he did one earlier that was like, Oh, he sounds like Toad.

You guys should just start filming me when I'm about to sit, I know, yeah.

You've got one, naturally, that's your job. Shane, Shane, you're on, you're on Jake's sit camp.

Yeah, yeah, all right. What else do we have? uh, the U.

Yeah, so we kind of do suck. We tied Portugal. Unacceptable fun fact.

Game. And we were, we were saying in the RV earlier that like, you know, what's going bad for women's soccer? When we're starting to get like old man takes on them. Because they were celebrating after, and it disgusted me, it disgusted me too. Okay, uh, counterpoint.

I think it's good for women's soccer that we're firing off these old man takes about their sport not being like, Oh, boring women's soccer. It's like, no, you shouldn't be celebrating like that. After you tie Portugal zero zero, you only won one game against Vietnam, who you barely even beat by three goals. So act, Listen, you haven't won shit yet. They're entitled.

More No, they're being criticized the way I criticize when the U S men's team, everyone says that this is the golden generation. They don't make the fucking tournament advance, though. Oh yeah, but if they had any pride, if they had any pride, they would, they would rescind their.

Advancement. If they win the World Cup, I will be the first to say congratulations to me for lighting a fire under their baby asses and getting their shit together and winning the World Cup. If I were on, what I expect from them? If I were on that team, I'd rescind, I'd rescind my invitation to advance. Yeah, any dignity whatsoever.

Dog on that team? Yeah, yeah, so I'm disappointed. Count me in the disappointed camp for the U s.

Women's national team and their jersey stink, Do they? Yeah, they're not good, they're better.

Than men's jerseys, but they still stink. Um, all right, other things. I mean, it's just camp season. John Uh, Nathaniel Hackett said Sean Payton broke the code for a code.

Hopes that games in primetime so he can watch it. I love that he's Mike Tomlin is the best.

He's just speaking for all of us. Yeah, they better put it in primetime I, I, I've heard.

That Jets fans are panicking about the fact that they're going to have to stay up late to watch primetime games. A lot of pressure. I mean, you're under the spotlight this year, you asked.

For this, Billy you used to be able to like, forget about the Jets games with the Primetime.

Game Hopefully we won't have to October 8th, four 25 Eastern time, so that's kind of primetime.

Game Yeah, they could, well, they can't flex it. I think it's too early. We also have just um camp highlights that are very funny.

Love Today threw it about 45 yards in the air on a dot against no pass rush whatsoever. Um, but you can just tell like, that guy's special. Yeah, it's been lighting it up, yeah.

Like all reports say that, uh, Sam Darnold. And is Brock Purdy practicing? I think they're getting.

More reps in him? That's a problem, it is a problem, so that that doesn't look good there. Uh, I saw Bryce Young today, was was being interviewed.

That's the good dirt. Yeah, that's a good dirt. That's what we're dealing with at the bottom of our audio. Guys cracking up right now. Um, okay.

The hot seat is Lizzo. Oh, what happened? Oh, she's getting sued for what she was an people eat.

Would you sue us for that if we cause you've? There's been a point of contention this whole week that we've been starving you. So what if you start again? That's what you're saying? We got an.

Accident, We've been starving you, you got an accident, you've been starving. I have not.

Hey Hank, I have your breakfast. It's a banana out of PFTs, asshole. I would, I would, probably.

Talk to I'd probably file a claim with Morgan, and Morgan. Okay, okay, yeah, so also just.

Just to recap your hank, when you say it started last week that you've been starved out. You ate lunch at one o'clock, and then you started to complain at three 30 that you've only eaten one.

Meal That's actually very true, you said. I've only eaten one meal today at three o'clock. It.

Was seven 30.

I ate two scoops of ice cream and a waffle cone, that was my lunch. Same, and I'm your choice.

Again, that's the problem you're, you're forcing your choices on others. Okay, so much like Lizzo.

Yeah, you stop smoking weed and then you just don't get you've been a little bit. Yeah, you've.

Been outside of your own head. I think, I think, I think, I think again. Asking for breakfast, that's a crime. Put me in, put me in the gulag. 30 years old. You can get breakfast on your own.

So back to Lizzo, she's getting sued, she's on the hot seat. So it was bananas out of vagina.

In Amsterdam, I guess that's probably where she was like, Oh, we're in Amsterdam, anything goes.

International law. There's a place called, I think it's called the Banana Room. Or I heard the story from Glenny Balls and Fights when they went there with Bert Kreischer, Okay, I think Fights told me, actually.

This is what happens at the Banana room, so it's kind of when you go into the banana room. Not not defending Lizzo here, but when you do go in the banana room, weird shit goes down.

The first question you should ask when somebody takes you a place called the Banana Room is.

Oh, why is it called the Banana room? Oh, I would say, Uh, do they have snacks? They do, okay, can I please have some?

Maybe she'll get proven innocent, okay, I think she's got a somewhat of a claim.

But yeah, I don't think so. Probably not. That probably doesn't fly, especially subordinates. Yeah, yeah.

So when I saw the story come out, I thought to myself, I thought to myself.

We have, like, a what is it, canary in a coal mine? If the canary dies, you know, there's a gas leak. Yeah, if Jake Marsh doesn't sue us, we're good.

Because he would be the one, so that's binding. He just said, I will never sue you guys.

Oh, I hope you want a banana split tonight, buddy. You like nuts on them? Or, Yeah, Jake is our canary in a coal mine, though? Yeah, he, if if he does not file an HR claim.

No one else will. Yeah, that's actually great for immunity because Billy's definitely going.

To file a lawsuit at some point? Yeah, oh for sure, we're going to have to.

Have him, so we're going to, we're just going to kill Billy, Yeah.

What do you think? This whole store really? Just realized, Oh shit, why are we building a hole?

We're in the middle of a cornfield and a giant hole. You ever seen? The end of casino? Yes, it's.

The perfect crime, too. Cause we'd be like, why would we? Why would we put Billy in a hole that we podcast it from? Yeah, that's stupid.

Cool Throne Hank, My cool throne is the MVP. Yes, stakes got a lot higher for the MVP. Nickelodeon playoff game was just a wild card game the last couple of years.

Superbowl broadcast this year this year. Jake Yeah, they. Jake is no eagle, tell no eagle, tell no eagle. To stop the steal. What they did to democracy in America last time is unforgivable.

We'll make a, we'll make a stick. I think, yeah. The first year it was the hashtag so you guys could do your thing, but now they put it to the Nickelodeon website, right? No.

A vote? No, but they only let you choose certain people. This year, I thought it was hashtag like.

Mitch For MVP, the first No. I just came up with that hashtag as we were watching it, trying to get other people to do it. We spam the vote and then send people to the website. But no, it sounds like you're standing up for your boy. I mean, of course, he rigged the election.

It's not his fault, it is his fault. I'm going to indict him. All decisions are made by the play by play guy.

Yeah, you guys see the shot of lifetime viral golf shot? No. It was like this guy from a bunker.

Really, yeah, actual shot of a lifetime. Yeah, I would say, shot of a lifetime from.

Bunker goes to the H man. That's true, that's a fact. Yeah, he killed Hiller.

He did something good for everyone. Yeah, uh okay, oh wait, that was your cool throne, that.

Was my cool throne? Okay? Good job Hank, great job Hank, we know you need to be.

You know, positive reinforcement, because you should stop smoking weed.

Uh, my, why did you stop smoking weed? I want you to go back. You never really told me that.

You suck, I don't know, I just ran out. It was like, I'm done well. It's interesting because it's legal in Illinois.

Not buying it for myself. Okay, so we just have to buy you weed. No, okay.

I think I actually know why Hank's grumpy, and it is. It's my hot seat, I know why you stopped smoking, it's weed, weeds on my hot seat. Oh, there's something called a hop latent viroid going around, and it basically nerfs. potent weed, so all the big potent weed everyone's we've talked about on the show before, weed has gotten too strong.

We got a wild cat. What? oh shit.

Okay, all right, go ahead back to the nerfed weed, so weed is not strong anymore.

That means we have to buy double the weed, we have to buy twice as much weed. Why are you trying to?

Enable me Why can't you just support me? I support you, Hank. I think this is like life.

Binds away, yeah, like the universe knows, weed's getting too strong. God was like, Okay, let me just sprinkle some of this virus out there, yeah.

Point You're endorsing it, not me, Jake. I sense a little disdain when you said that about PFT there.

Degree than you, right? Well, also our journalism school, you forget it was unaccredited, so we lost our accreditation. discredited, yeah.

Of this, agreed, agreed, all right. My hot seat is the Pac-12..

Channel that I never was able to finally get, it's always channel number like, 671. Yeah, so.

But the Pac-12 feels like they're in dire straits. I have also heard rumors it's it is true.

What great band, great band. Yeah, Mark Knopfler, you know him?

Said, Dire straits, Great, what'd you say? Great song. Yeah, great song.

The big three? Well, it's funny, cause like all these teams leaving the Pac-12, this is now when Gonzaga is going to go to the PaC-12. Yeah, look at us.

Why we don't just do, we should just do NFL model and just have divisions and just have conferences. The Big, the Big 10 and the SEC are the conferences you just kind of created.

You created college football as it is right now. Yeah, well, well, they'd have to clean it up. A.

Little, I'm saying there's two, only two conferences, so we're headed that way, we're not.

There yet two conferences, divisions within the conferences, maybe 32 teams total correct, and they play in divisions of four, right?

The final ending of this? I'm just sick of it, yeah, um, and then my cool throne is Lane Kiffin's girlfriend. It was National Girlfriend Day.

Yeah, I like that. He's got the high neck sweatshirt too. Yeah, yeah.

He's just living his best life. With National Girlfriend Day. Big shout out. they got a day for everything. National Hank eats a banana out of PFTS ass days tomorrow. I'm excited.

How much would it cost?

Is the peel on before or after? Oh, how far in your asshole is it? It would be half in, half out. wait, wait, but dude, the peel. 50 grand cash.

But get the peel on before. Wait, how much am I getting out of this? I have to stick a banana.

Up my ass, you're allowed to post it, okay, yeah?

That's going out of business. I mean, every time I hear a story about a hit man, it's just straight up like this hit man was. Like, secretly recording the person that asked them to kill somebody. If you ask your friend, they're like, Do you know a hit man? And they introduced to somebody.

That guy's wearing a wire, yes. FACTS I saw a video that Woody Harrelson's dad was a hit man.

Yeah, and he killed a judge like an accomplished hit man. Yeah, yeah.

Be a hit man, hit man. It's right next to Barstool GMS. It's called LinkedIn, but it's spelled like Lincoln.

People like, Jake's been doing this whole time, Jake, take out your gun now, kill Billy.

Big guy admitted that I'm not a rat because I ate wings. Yeah, you did. you ate wings, you.

Show it's your your annual hey guys, I can do this. Jake also put away quite a bit of wings.

More than I thought that you would. It was my first time this week. You're a great eater, yeah.

I can eat, yeah, $19 and eight hours at Bolero. Yeah, that's true, that's a fact.

Cool my cool throne is the Jets, shout out Steven Shea. He did a little police work, not too much, but Aaron Rogers is not going. How much is too much police work?

The Raiders Right, right, right. But what do you mean? He went to the Jets facility, he went.

To New York, I think yes. He went to the Jets facility, not to the facility.

He went to New York City to see his friend. Okay, okay, so there's no other reason why he would go.

To New York City, there's probably a couple. He didn't visit the jets. He visited New York City, okay.

Hey, okay, so I actually don't disagree with the premise of this. It makes sense. I do think that things are going to go sideways for the Raiders pretty quickly this year.

Be that there are they running out of picks, how many of they send it for Aaron Rogers? A couple, yeah, a few, but I mean, you'd have to get if it doesn't really matter.

That's a problem you just deal with later. Can you do cash in the N.FL like they do in baseball? Cash considerations? Could the Woody Johnson? Could he send some money to Mark Davis? because?

Mark Davis needs some cash. Yeah, why not? That would be good, yeah.

My hot seat is Kendrick Perkins. He got ejected at a AAU tournament.

Uh-oh, bad book. What yelling at the refs, something like that.

That it depends on what the refs did.

When you get kicked out of a little league game for yelling at an umpire, you have to go to umpire school and then umpire game yourself. Yeah, punishment fits the crime.

Yep, absolutely. My cool throne is Doris Burke. Yes, she's getting promoted to the A team alongside Mike Breen and newcomer in the booth, Doc Rivers.

Was shocked that he got removed as well from the A team. I have a take that probably people will disagree with. I loved Jeff Van Gundy, I liked that booth. Mark Jackson. Kind of a goofball. But like, you need that in broadcasting. I do think there was a moment where it was like, they've been doing this for too long.

But they weren't even really grumpy about the wrong things. I found myself agreeing with them.

About like the flagrant fouls, of course, but they're also like when you're watching a game.

You don't want to hear just constant complaints. Yeah, I always lean more towards I will tolerate a shitty booth. If they're friends and they get along and they seem to be having a good time, I like that. I like listening to buddies just talk while they're watching sports.

I weirdly think that, like Mark Jackson and Jeff van Gundy, if they take a year off and then come back. I'd be like, Yes, I'm all the way back in. Yeah, you know, just a reset year I'm going to.

Miss hearing Mark Jackson? Just say Jeff van Gundy all the time, remember when he tried to fuck?

LeBron's wife Yeah, with all due respect, I'd knock that out of the park, yeah.

Was stunned and sad about the firings of Jackson and Van Gundy. I mean, he probably got a pay raise too, right? Breen? Yeah, I don't know.

Doris deserves it. Mike Breen won't make anything you don't like Doris, she's a hater. Celtics.

Hater Oh, really, yeah, who does she? She didn't say a word during game seven when Jason Tatum was going off and beat the Sixers. She was just dead silent.

Love that. Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't announcing, maybe her job was on the floor.

And amazement. What's the point of being a sports fan if you can't get pissed at the announcers?

Yeah, yeah, I'm not wrong, I'll, I'll show you there's, there's documented proof.

You have a tape? Yeah, okay, what about your guy, doc, going right to the A-team? I love doc.

Yeah, great coach. Sad, you know, players that he had in Philly couldn't do enough for him, but.

Championship coach He has won a championship. Yeah, that is a fact. Max, what are your thoughts on, Doc?

Locations. So the first question, of course, is, what is grit to you? Josh Allen, Grit is.

Using the dorm bathrooms and being okay with it, yeah, my our good friend over here is not okay.

With using a dorm, well, no, I'm just saying I was telling Josh before we started recording. I could live in a dorm room. I could be here for two weeks, That's great, the dorm bathrooms might.

Be an issue for me. Yeah, yeah, that's not gritty enough, it's not here.

For you guys, I know that it's like grit, two and a half weeks for us. That's true. I love it, I do.

Ass poster, Yeah, all of them, Boondock Saints, scarface poster, we get all of them.

Exactly, we just put it all all up in the dorm. So um, it's great to see you, it's great to have you back on. I actually also have to start with, I saw a tweet that you got hit really hard in camp practice, like a minute ago.

I loved Aaron. It was a it was an accident, it was an accident. It was kind of a little quarterback throwback pass, so waiting for the ball and Dawson threw the ball.

When you get the wind knocked out of you, it looks like the way you act is a significant injury. Yeah, yeah, even though you'll be fine in 10 seconds, yeah.

To die, Yeah, it feels like you're going to die. yeah, you're on the ground, just like gasping for air.

The gritty, Oh, the gritty. Oh, let's see, I'm not going to do it for you, but we got to okay, oh, oh, oh.

Yeah, take the fucking red jersey. yeah, you ever feel like a pussy for wearing that red jersey?

Yeah, no one can touch you. I've gone out there actually three times without a red jersey, really, okay.

Know no visor. no visor. you don't like visor. No Superbowl quarterback has ever worn a visor.

Visit my Homes or a visor? No, I don't think so. We can fact check. I'm pretty sure he does, he does.

Cause he was an Oakley guy, not when he won the Superbowl. Yeah, hold up, yeah.

It, um, your coach has, uh, the Lombardi trophy on a big banner in the facility. Are you thinking that maybe that's a little forward? Is that too much? That's good to visualize?

Superbowl for Vegas, for what? Though hotel reservation? Well, the team does that for us.

It's like the it's like the uh scene from Steinfeld, uh, what's it called? The reservation where he's like, you got to hold her. Did you watch Steinfeld? Are you a fan of Steinfeld?

Yeah, yeah, you should buy a big fan. You should buy like a ticket to a show in Las Vegas that weekend and be like, Okay, I've already got my tickets, yeah.

I didn't know, I didn't know how I was going to work that in. Did I do a good job? You did a good job, okay?

I've been, uh, I've been reading the news. Have you been reading the news about yourself? Which no. Uh, there was a headline and it was just Josh Allen makes out with his girlfriend on vacation.

Girlfriend, The fact that anybody cares about that still blows my mind. He looks good in shorts, I saw the pictures, I was like, he looks good in shorts.

What they were on a boat, seriously, yeah, that's fucked up.

That does that, because it's it's. I saw it and I just like, I just felt like this, this gross feeling of insecurity. No, no privacy. It was just like, what is wrong?

You got to get back to Buffalo, the people of Buffalo will protect you. Yeah, yeah, that's the difference.

But yeah, that's why we're back. You could have worse headlines written about you though, than like, makes out with girlfriend, Yeah, that's true, that's true, that's.

That's not a bad one to have, that's a pretty good one. Um, all right. So how are we feeling physically? Because I I think that you're so tough.

The elbow, Yeah, I mean, there was probably three or four weeks where I didn't practice at all.

We ball, I like that. Are you worried all about the madden cover? No, not at all, okay.

Fuck, this is like the coolest thing ever. Yeah, yeah, I mean, they. They gave my agent a call and said, Hey, we, we want him to to be on the cover. And got on a Zoom call with them. And they had like, this video and this whole presentation, and the video was like, really fricking, sick.

Because I knew what was supposed to be going on. Yeah, do you look at the ratings? And you're like, man, they really boned me on, like pass blocking. I always love it when they have legs, yeah.

Strength, like I should be one of the, if not the strongest, like, I'm so, so strong.

But they had me a little weaker. Has your arm gotten stronger since you've been in the NFL?

Uh, no, I think it's stayed pretty, pretty constant. Okay, when's the last time you just?

You ripped a ball and you're like, let's see how far this will go. It's been a long time. Yeah, yeah, did you never actually threw it out of the stadium?

You going to try it again this year? Maybe we'll see. Okay, depends on which way the wind's drifting. You know, if I got a heavy wind behind me, I might just chuck one up there.

Fine, every time I do it, but still, if you throw a football out of the stadium, I'll cover your fine. Yeah, well, no, you know what?

The 15 million you owe us, we'll just take it from the IOU, yeah, pay it down, yeah.

Some IOUs back there for you guys. Um, just to. I would like to say you can take my cut of the 15.

Million, and you can use it and distribute it to your running backs. How about that?

Seven and a half million, that's chump change. Okay, yeah, so wait, when did you sign the big?

Deal Was it a year ago?

Though, Oh, okay, that's smart. See, now you're using, you're saving that up so you can pay us.

Yeah, exactly, see, I actually spent what I was going to give you guys, so that's why I have the IOUS, so once that gets paid off, I can start reimbursing you guys. What about jet skis?

And we'll go and do the entire logo like that's so you can do like soccer button, football button.

Yeah, I believe, so, yeah, yeah, that's awesome.

Money, that's the craziest thing that you've bought, is an AI field painting. I didn't even.

Bought it? I don't know, I don't know. I bought a new house recently, okay?

That's crazy. Yeah, no, that's not crazy. So it sounds like you have the 15 million for us, yeah.

Putting my checking and savings accounts all set up, you know, it takes a couple of days.

Yeah, um, I want to talk about last year a little bit. Uh, obviously the Demar Hamlin thing was crazy. What was it for you as, like the leader of the team? Did you get in front of everyone? Like a day or two after being like, Hey, this is, you know, like, did you feel that responsibility, especially in a moment that had never happened before?

Yeah, um, in the locker room, cause we'd gone back in and kind of gotten like a 15, 20 minute break or whatever before. We were gonna have to go back out there and play. And I had to stand up and just kind of ask a question, and I hated asking the question. Um, to see if anybody and everybody would play. Um, but I'm glad I did, because it just took one person to say, No, we're not doing it. I was like, Okay, we're not doing it.

Because of that, like, that's just a fact, because teams will, you know, use sports and all that stuff, the awareness can be incredible. Yeah, that's awesome.

Getting ready to play the following week after that, it was tough. Yeah, we, we were sitting thinking about it.

It's a little bit of a psychological warfare, like within your, within yourself. Um, and every day we were getting updates, uh, like the first team meeting, we'd. We'd get a call from. Whether it was, uh, the doctors that were helping tomorrow, or his parents, and then that that third day we got a call and it was him. And, uh, just being like, seeing him and him, just kind of saying, like, y'all boys, go get them. Like, gave us enough juice to go out there and, you know, first play.

Yeah, yeah.

But it just hasn't broken your way. Yeah, I mean, I think playing your best ball at the end of the year, uh, is the biggest key. And again, this league is it's crazy, like you're going to need some luck going your way.

Soon as we get there, let's play our best ball. Yeah, and like, not getting too high, not getting too low. Cause I felt like even last year when you guys went into Kansas City early in the season, you beat them. That was like, a, yeah, we got them back for the AFC Championship game, where it's most of these teams that are there at the end. Or, sorry, it was a divisional round.

Thing sometimes like a loss actually helps you, it refocuses you. It's like, all right, we should not have like, what did we do during that week that caused us to lose that game, like, why did we play off?

You say was the most productive loss that you had last year when you didn't cover the spread?

Against the Packers, not that anyone here bet on that we didn't lose, though we lost against the.

Spread Yeah, you lost against the spread, that's important. Well, I mean, yeah, we were 13-3. I mean, we lost, I think, all three games by a combined eight or nine points.

Pick in the end zone. Yeah, it was such an insane ending to that game. I'm still convinced that that Sean put too many men on the field on purpose. It's like, challenging, like, call it on me.

Deny, Nope, can't confirm or deny. We got to talk real quick about. You've been doing a lot of other content with other people, which is fine, which is fine. We're, you know, we have an open relationship.

Pick, but if you had, you did, make me pick when you guys facetime me. Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm going with my man dancing.

You get a lot of young content creators, we're too old, we're not cool. What other content creators are you talking about? Who are you talking to?

I've seen your golfing now.

Was it your whole break? I did my job, I did my job. We'll put it that way, all right.

So how is the golf game coming? I do. Have you walked yourself into the one, the the one, the moment with Tom Brady? We got to be better. You got to consult us before.

Sometimes I forget, like, what the other side's going to do right right? We can think ahead.

On the troll moves, Okay, we can read a defense very well when it comes to that. Perfect, yeah.

Not just me, the world, the world, yes, what'd he do?

No, I think I think Aaron Rogers should be in jail. Yeah, nope, I would never say that.

I would say a lot of the golfers maybe thought that too. Yeah, yeah, you don't cheat on a golf.

On a golf course, were you more nervous for the match than a football game? Yes, cause I.

I would imagine like, I mean, you're putting down the ball on the tee and your hand is just.

Shaking, and everyone's a golf expert on that. Yes, so, like, the minute you get up there and you.

And you tee off, brother, this guy stinks. I don't, I don't do this, this is not my job, right? Like I, I love golf.

And we'll go, we're done, we're done in all of us, except for Hank. Can I can I ask one question?
