Welcome to part of my take. Today is Wednesday, March 15th. Is that the Ides of March? That's the fifth, right?

The Ides of March. Yeah, the Ides of March. Bad day to be Julius Caesar. Yes.

And Aaron Rodgers is being a fucking bitch. He is being a bitch. He's being a real bitch. Everyone.

Everyone. If you didn't know Aaron Rodgers, a bitch before this cats out of the bag. This is actually this is like vindication for me where everyone has slowly been like, dude, just make a decision. This is annoying.

You're holding everyone else up, which actually he's not anymore, which is nice that everyone's going about their business. But as of the taping of this, I think we all assume he's going to announce it on the Pat McAfee show that he's going to the Jets. And if he doesn't, means he's going to have an absolute meltdown. Well, he is kind of holding the Jets up.

Yeah, that's definitely. Well, he's making sure all of his friends get their first flight delay. Yeah, he's actually, he's taking the Jets hostage in a way. So he is pretty much demanding that all of his friends are going to join him.

So Aaron Rodgers has put together a wish list. At this point, it's probably Randall Cobb, Odell Beckham, Lazardi Gazzard, the QAnon shaman, Mercedes Lewis, and 30 Nelson probably. It'd be sick if he called him was like, dude, what about me? Great China food in New York.

He is, Aaron Rodgers being that guy who, like, you text your buddies and you're like, what time are you all planning on showing up? And everyone's like, Oh, we'll be there at nine. And then they deliberately show up at like 945 to be the cool, fasterly late guy. Yeah, it would be very funny if he told the Jets who was going to go there, they signed his friends and then he retired.

Yeah, that'd be funny. That would be very just. Now, I don't, I don't hate Aaron Rodgers like you do. I think he's an interesting guy.

I like to make fun of him because he certainly gives us a lot of material to work with. But in this case, everyone can admit Aaron Rodgers being a bitch. He's being the worst. He is being the absolute worst.

So yeah, we're waiting for that. I do have one thing I want to point out on the Aaron Rodgers front before again, he's probably going to announce it on Wednesday. So everyone should expect that. I just want him out of my life.

That's all I've wanted. I know Packers fans like I'll join loves the next next stop next common. Let's relax. Let's I have at least a year before I have to admit that.

R-E-L-A-P-S-E. Yes, exactly. That's I'm fine. Yeah.

So I had this thing. So I want you to take means and Billy. Billy would like this a lot. How much as Jets fans are you putting into account the conspiracy theory that Aaron Rodgers being on the Jets will finally counteract Joe Namath selling his soul to the devil because a W-F-N caller called in and was given a lot of time that the theory goes.

And I guess it's actually like kind of not a well-known conspiracy theory, but there's more than one guy in New Jersey or New York who believes this that to win the 1969 Super Bowl, Joe Namath had to sell his soul to the Jets. So the Jets have just had no soul for the last 54 years. And this caller goes on to say that Aaron Rodgers is the opposite of that energy because of his psychedelic use and his darkness retreats that he will somehow bring the soul back into the Jets. What has to happen is Aaron Rodgers needs to get really, really high.

So high that he sees the devil. Right. And then by Joe Namath's soul back from the devil. Yes.

I think he can get high enough. I really can do it. It's Aaron. Yeah.

So are you guys have you guys have you guys Billy? I'm sure you've heard of this conspiracy theory. Well, absolutely. My grandfather was NYPD.

He once saw Joe Namath playing catch with a beer can outside of a nightclub before a big game. Bet on him because he told him to hand him a hundred dollar bill and he won the game. This is a real story. This is kind of the reason why my family are Jets fans.

And then everybody absolutely believe that he sold his soul to the devil for that Super Bowl. But I don't know if Aaron Rodgers is a psychedelic use is nevertheless like going to reverse that or embrace it because if he embraces it, it actually might have the exact same effect of reversing it. Yeah. If he embraces the lack of soul, soul death?

Yes. I mean, we know death sold that same thing psychedelic usage. If he comes over here with some like, you know, grand master plan that isn't of anything Christianity, who knows what happened. The caller said he said now personally with the psychedelic part of it, I think that Aaron Rodgers is finding out how to combat the devil when he comes face-to-face with him once he walks into MetLife Stadium.

So I just saw this and I was like, hey, you can mute Billy's mic is kind of weird sound. I saw it and I was like, hey, every other show is going to just talk about Aaron Rodgers and not signing. We should probably address the fact that this signing will finally defeat the devil in MetLife Stadium. Well, it makes sense because Sam Donald was seeing ghosts there, right?

That's a fact. So his MetLife hell. They had the black cat that went out on the field. This is all adding up for me, actually.

I feel like the Jets are haunted. Yeah, I do too. I do too. So, Aaron Rodgers.

I'm going to love Aaron Rodgers. I'm going to love how he treats the New York media because he's going to treat them like dog shit. Yes, he's going beneath dog shit. He already is and he's not even a jet.

That's the best part. That's going to be very funny to watch how he deals with, as we learn from Billy's presentation, the venomous New York media. So I'm looking forward to that. Now Leroy did get a scoop yesterday and put it out.

I just want to make it clear that Leroy's information is rock solid. And different than Trey Wingo's. Different than Trey Wingo's. Trey Wingo had everyone, he basically called it done in the afternoon on Monday.

Memes was cursing Trey Wingo's name after that happened. Yeah, so the information that was passed to Leroy was that Aaron has been telling people close to him, including this one person who I can verify, is very close to Aaron Rodgers that he's going to New York. So now he's just kind of taking his time. Yeah, he's waiting.

He's chilling. He likes to be the talk of everyone. He basically has found a way to make his signing like four-day fodder. And then he's going to somehow spin it and be like the media always talks about me and it's bullshit.

And I don't like it. But yeah, he has held up everyone. He likes to be the center of attention. This is what he's doing.

Hold on. We got the last three. Don't foul. They foul.

I knew this was going to happen. I have Southern Missouri plus three and a half. I saw this coming from a mile away. That's all I want to say is it's good to get your first loss out of the way and first game in the tournament.

That's true. That was so fucking brutal and you knew the math in your head if they didn't shoot late enough that that exact thing was going to happen. We also got Sam Darnell to the 49ers, which I love. I love that signing.

I feel like say, and we always say, imagine any quarterback in Sam Darnell's system, Sam Darnell works in the hand system in my brain. It also tells me that they really don't like Trey Lance at all. And not sure if Purdy is going to be healthy for the start of the season. My guess is that he's probably not if he just got the surgery right now.

But I think the fact that they signed Sam Darnell means that we can probably take Tom Brady out of the question of if he's going to the 49ers. Sam Darnell is going to take the Niners to an NFC Championship game. And we're all going to be like a Sam Darnell. Good.

No, he's on the Niners. That's just what happens. When you go on the Niners, you play with really good players and you get really good. Yeah.

I mean, Brock Purdy, I still think Brock Purdy could be the guy. But then I think you put Brock Purdy on, I don't know, for example, the Seahawks or the Raiders and he's one of the worst quarterbacks in the league, but for whatever reason it works. Every offense should be run like the San Francisco 49ers. Yes.

So we have some other free agent signings we should we should get through. I mean, we talked about Derek Carr last week. I don't know what the Raiders are doing. Jimmy Garoppolo, it feels like it feels like Josh McDaniel is doing the exact same thing that he did when he was in Denver where he was like, I got to get my Patriots guys in because I like Jimmy Garoppolo.

Nice guy. Derek Carr is better than Jimmy Garoppolo. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That was fractured. What was the what was the plan here? I guess maybe if they draft someone and he's your bridge quarterback, they might they might draft somebody. But it's that relationship is fractured between Derek Carr and Josh McDaniel's.

But then you go back and say, well, who fractured that relationship? Oh, yeah, Josh McDaniel's right. Right. So Derek Carr goes to the Saints.

James Winston resigned with the Saints back up and he don't know the Panthers. He's staying in division. You never want to see that if you're the Saints. No, how could you let a guy if you really love any Dalton, you would do whatever it takes to get him off the streets and not go to division rival.

The Panthers are signing everybody. Yeah. Panthers David Tapper is like, you know what? I got money.

Let's spend it. I'm a rich guy that I was actually thinking about the whole Bears draft trade with Panthers the other day. And if there's a guy that would want to buy a distressed asset like the Bears first overall pick and then flip it for more money later, it is David. Yeah, that is true.

Like the stock market. Yeah, that is true. And Max, your Eagles have been gutted. They got a little haircut.

Gutted. Rashad Penny. Rashad Penny and Boston Scott. So you're good.

And Kelsey. They play defense. We're. Nicobe Dean Jordan Davis.

So the biggest one was obviously John Hargrave going to the 49ers, which makes the 49ers defense even scarier than it already was. Oh, Bradbury also. Bradbury was not a guy who stopped. Bradbury was good this year.

Bradbury saved the life though. He did. He saved the rest of life after the Super Bowl by saying that he held him. Texans got case Keenum going to have to be reminded of that, Jake, maybe two weeks before the season starts.

It's coming home. case Keenum returns to where he started his career. That'll be nice to see. It's it was also just a reminder that he's still in the league.

Yeah. Yeah. The Bears have actually got TJ Edwards, another badger. So we got the we got Jackson and born and TJ Edwards, the Badger Line Packers and Tremaine Edwards, Evans, also a good signing.

Listen, I know that people are going to be like, oh, the Bears, it's always good to win the off season. Like crown them now. They're going to win. I've seen the meme going around.

If you like, if you love me at three and fourteen, or if you like me at three and fourteen, you'll love me at six and eleven. That's a hurtful meme. I don't like it. But the Bears have a shit.

They have they're the worst team in the NFL. They had to start filling holes. I saw a stat where they signed Edmonds, TJ Edwards, and Nate Davis, who's going to hopefully shore up the offensive line while they need to do more work on it. And they still have the most cap space because they're a bad team with with no good players and they need to get good play.

They had to do this. You'd rather win the off season to lose it. So the same thing about the Eagles last year. Yeah.

Everyone was and I also like how Ryan Polls is doing this because it's how I would run a team in terms of like, you just are going position by position and checking boxes. So you don't have to worry about it anymore. So he did DJ more. All right.

We don't have to worry about drafting a wide receiver. Then he went and got a bunch of linebackers like, okay, we're good there. One last thing I have to worry about in the draft. That's a very like, like in my mind, I'm like, that's smart how he's doing it.

I don't know if it is. I think it is. And yeah, I'm very excited that the Bears are signing. Well, when you're three and 14, you have a lot of positions of need.

We were the worst. We were so bad on the defensive side of the ball. And I know people are like, Oh, you're signing linebackers. You got rid of Roquan Smith.

Nadi Verflous was a really good coach of the linebackers at the Indianapolis Colts. So I think he's going to get the most out of these guys and I'm very excited. And TJ Edwards is a Chicago guy. So it's I'm happy.

I'm happy and people are trying to ruin my happiness. Can I give you some advice? Yeah, I'm not going to let him just just log off. No, no, no, I stress for a second.

Listen, people are going to log off. People are trying to ruin it. What did Tyler the creator say? Like, you can't get cyber really.

Where do you think just turn off your phone? Yeah, no, I'm listen, I'm not going to I know what people are trying to do. And I know that you have to play the games. No one does win the off season.

No one wins the Super Bowl in the off season. But the Bears are doing things that are making me happy and I'm going to sit here and be happy about it. I also saw a staff that the teams that spend the most in free agency, they actually improve the most in terms of win percentage. We have terrible players.

You have to you have to if you have a bad team, you have to get better at playing football. How do you get better playing football? You get better players. How do you get better players?

Free agency. Yeah, so it's it's not like a long if a team is established and they've got a good culture and they're a well-run organization, then yeah, maybe you don't build in free agency as much. Maybe you just rely on what works, which is the draft. But if you're starting with a pile of dog shit, you got to plant a couple roses in there.

And also this free agency, because Alan Lazard went to the Jets to Kobe Myers went to the the Raiders, which again, Josh McDonald's is just like, I got to get as many New England guys in here. He's going to play quarterback? Yeah, I don't know. So but it made me realize, I like the DJ Moore trade even more because there was no wide receivers.

Yeah, who are the big wide receivers moving? Yeah, I don't think he was coming to Chicago. Probably not. So like, and you had it, you have to figure out quickly what you have, what Justin Fields is next year.

You can't be like, all right, hopefully we dress someone who's really, really good. So that great that I've now made it a plus plus. That's right. This whole legal tampering window is so funny to me that the NFL came out and said, well, okay, it's tampering, but it's legal now starting two days before free agency.

The illegal thing where it's still going to be illegal, but we're going to make it temporarily legal for two days. They're going to have to have like a legal legal tampering window that opens up. Because these deals get done even before the legal tampering window starts. They're just going to have to keep backing up the one player that's affecting who that is.

Lamar. Yeah, because Lamar doesn't have an agent. So it would be illegal legal tampering if they tried to legal tamper with Lamar, because they would be contacting him directly. Another team would be reaching out directly to Lamar who's under contract with the Baltimore Ravens.

So they have to wait until Wednesday to reach out to start that negotiation process. Yeah. Yeah. And it's, uh, Lamar Jackson Ravens relationship, I would say is not going well.

No. No. Well, what was the tree? He tweeted out somebody said, like, this is why he turned down like 200 million dollars guaranteed.

And then he just did a cap meme at him. Yeah. This is cap. And then he replied with 133 million guaranteed, but I need an agent.

And then why the buddy pregnant? Yeah. But I think he was saying that he maybe had an offer from the Ravens of a 133 million dollars a year or 133 million dollars guaranteed for three years. And so that might be what he turned down.

But that's the shit's going to hit the fan pretty soon with Lamar. We're going to find out on, I'm sure that there are going to be some teams that are going to finally be like, okay, yes, we are desperate. Let's, let's at least try to do this. And it just, whenever it devolves to memes on Twitter, your contract negotiations, I'm going to just say it's not going well.

Yeah. I feel like that's a fair way to assess the situation. It's not good. All right.

So we also had, let's see, McLinchy went to the Broncos. He's over current guest. We never talked about the Jalen Ramsey trade to the dolphins. The dolphins, the dolphins feel a little super team-ish in a bad way.

Well, a lot of dudes. You're just thinking of Jalen Ramsey. Yeah. Whenever, when Jalen Ramsey went to the Rams, it's like, okay, super team.

Now he's going to the dolphins. So you think that that super team carries over. Yeah. They're happy with Toa.

They're going to stick with Toa apparently. And I hope to a place. Yeah. I was looking at what they got with the Rams got for Jalen Ramsey.

It's not really anything. No, it's not a lot. That's what happens. It was the same thing last year with Cleo Mack.

And everyone's like, oh, you didn't get anything. If a guy's a little bit older and he's getting a lot of money, it's hard to move him. Yeah. I like the move though.

Yeah. No, I'm Jalen Ramsey. I love the move. Yeah.

The dolphins are going to be very good. I just, they have a lot of dudes. He's making a lot of names now. I need to look at the stats and see how much more money he's going to make in Florida because no state income tax is supposed to California.

It's going to be huge. What other pig? Oh, Darren Waller to the Giants. Darren Waller to the Giants.

I love that move. Yeah. I mean, anywhere Darren Waller goes. That's an addition.

And there was a weird, so I think I have this right. Darren Waller just got married to, I don't know her name. She's on the Las Vegas Aces. And I think they were trying to keep the wedding under wraps.

And Josh McDaniel's accidentally set it out loud at the Combine. And then he got traded 10 days later. So that, yeah, I would be upset. Yeah.

I would like to go ahead and say full scholarship on the table right now for Darren Waller's kid with the Las Vegas Aces player. Yeah, let me find her name. We're being very misogynist. In any sport to James Madison University.

Love it. It's unborn. Kelsey Plum. Kelsey Plum.

Kelsey Plum. Kelsey Plum and Kelsey Plum's husband, their child, I would like to make a scholarship offer. Yeah. Regardless of what it is, that kid's going to be a freak.

All right. So according to a report, Waller was upset with Josh McDaniel's. The head coach apparently leaked the news of the wedding with WNBA star Kelsey Plum by accident during the NFL scouting combine. Waller was upset with McDaniel's when the Las Vegas Review Journal posted a story announcing the wedding was scheduled later in the week.

So it was before the wedding. A couple had not publicly announced their plans to get married. Josh McDaniel's just repeating history. A lot of people like this is this guy kicking out of his own way.

A lot of people don't like their Las Vegas weddings to be falling around places. Were they married by Elvis in person? But this is just so classic. Josh McDaniel's like, how did you start?

And then he's like, hey, coach, I'm getting married, trying to keep it under wraps. He goes to the combine. He's like, Oh, yeah, Darren Waller's getting married, trying to keep it under wraps. How do you how do you possibly accidentally leak that information?

You know what Darren, you probably should have told Josh McDaniel. Yeah, he wouldn't have known. Well, knowing Josh McDaniel's, he probably didn't like Darren Waller was like, here's how I can get him mad. So mad that he demands a trait.

Yeah, history repeating itself. Josh McDaniel's just pissing off all this. He's going to go back to New England. And then he's going to get hired again as a head coach and father.

I'm just going to piss off everyone. Yeah. All right. What other ones do we miss?

Anything else? Stefan Gilmore got traded. Oh, yeah. Now Stefan, oh, he did.

Yeah, that's right. That was sad. He should have just retired. Yeah.

Stefan Gilmore is one of those guys that like he was really elite. And he hasn't been elite, but you see his name flash and you're like, Oh, shit. Yeah, nice job. Nice job.

Cowboys. Still good. Yeah. Yeah.

No, he's going to draft him in my fantasy league. I would. And everyone would be like, that's a that's a week. I'm like, what are you talking about?

He was awesome five years ago. Yeah, the Cowboys are happy with them. A lot of players on the Cowboys were making it felt like they were doing the eyeball emoji tweet. Yeah.

A lot of those guys and speculation is that they might try to get Hopkins because Hopkins is going to be available. Oh, a lot of teams want Hopkins though. Yeah. I would say the Patriots, but the Patriots, they don't really like having good wide receivers anymore.

Yeah. I'm trying to think I'm going through the whole list. Marcus Davenport to the Vikings. I should help their defense.

Although I like my wife going to the Dolphins, the New York Post or maybe with WFN posted a picture of him with a halo around him that looked like he died. Yeah, it did. I did the Dwight Howard Lord carry him now. Yeah, because it actually looked like Mike White's dead.

No, he's just going to Florida. That's what happens to people from New York right before they die. Yeah, right. Exactly.

He's going to die. We all do. The Falcons got Taylor Hanneke. Yeah.

Fly free my sweet prince. Yeah. A lot of people were trying to get under my skin about that this morning online. I'm happy for him.

Yeah. I've been I've been I've been bison on that log off. I did log off for quite a while today. I'm very happy for Taylor.

He got paid $20 million to your always welcome on the show 10 million here always welcome. And he knows that he'll come back on. But good for him. I'm happy for him.

My prediction is that he's going to be the starting quarterback next year. I think he's going to beat out Desmond Ritter and camp. That's just what Taylor Hanneke does. And the fact that they're giving him a bunch of money.

Why aren't the Falcons trying to get Lamar Jackson? They I don't know. Didn't they try to get to Sean Watson? Yeah, they were in on that.

If you were in on to Sean Watson, why wouldn't you be on Lamar Jackson? I think they've got that cap room. Yeah, I guess so. But that doesn't make sense, right?

On paper? No, it doesn't. I'd rather have Lamar Jackson. It doesn't at all.

If you're going to spend a lot with all the warts of the Sean Watson, you're going to spend all that. We don't know that he's got words. Yeah, that's true. That wasn't part of it.

Yeah. I you think Lamar Jackson would be maybe thought about tires. Yeah. Well, what was weird is they were the first team, I think, to say we're not going after Lamar.

But maybe they're just saying that because the tampering window, they can't count it. We're not going after Lamar Jackson until Wednesday. Until Wednesday. And then it's on.

Then it's big time Lamar. Oh yeah. Jared Stidham's on the Broncos now. It's going to really push Russell Wilson.

There we go. Yeah. So all right. So the the Raiders, they have Jimmy G at quarterback now.

And who else? I don't know. They'll probably get like Ryan Mallard or someone. Maybe Billy Zappie.

I don't know. Although Billy Zappie came in after Joshua Jones left. I was about to say it just based on vibes, they seem like they would go for a former Texans quarterback. Davis Mills.

Yeah. Or Brian Hoyer. Is he still around? Yeah, he's probably around.

Matt Castle. Yeah. I think Chefty put out a tweet earlier today that was saying that Chad Henny has received interest from at least one team. But as for now, he's still retired.

So Chad Henny could come and play for the Raiders. Also, stay very woke on this. Chefter. We love him.

Chefter's gaming the system. Oh, he is. He is now. He's gone through a pattern.

And I've seen this on like four or five different tweets that he's put out when he's breaking the news live. He will say the transaction. And then he'll edit the tweet to add in a picture. Oh, after it's already been tweeted out.

So he's doing the speed. So when he's going for speed, but also by uploading that picture, it makes that tweet stay at the top of people's timelines because it's like this is edited tweet. And for whatever reason, Elon has it in the programming where even as you keep refreshing, if it's an edited tweet, it stays at the top. So he's like retweeting himself constantly retweeting himself by editing every tweet once.

I mean, that's why he's that's why he's at the top of the game. All right, before we go to Hotsey Cool Throne memes, I want to hear from you real quick. Where are you at mentally? Not great.

I just want to be over. Yeah. He's really, this is what he's going to do though. He's like, it's basically getting the relationship off on a wrong foot.

Yeah. Can I tell you something? Aaron Rodgers is a great quarterback. Really, really, really, really, really good.

Great quarterback. I have a feeling like the way that this has started feels like his heart's not all the way into playing for the Jets, right? Yeah, but historically speaking, it makes sense. Yeah, I mean, he's going to be the best quarterback that you guys have had on the team for a very, probably since ever, but he's still going to be that good ever.

But you have to question it. I mean, not to not to bring up partial van talk, but it is kind of like that scenario. It seems like even before it happens, it's off to a rocky start. So what I'm saying is they're going to bench him after one quarter, if it follows in our footsteps.

But you know what I'm saying, right? Yeah. Like it feels like if Aaron Rodgers really, really wanted to play for the Jets, badly, this probably would have been over by now. Oh, yeah, for sure.

But what's the deal with I mean, he just he's a security. Yeah, somebody's got to explain that Aaron Rodgers loves him. He's his best friend. Yeah, I was going everywhere.

I actually, I respect that about Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, he's got to sign me. You got to sign Randall Cobb. And you know what, we're doing the Twitter, we're trying to ruin your fun.

So let us not do that. Aaron Rodgers on the Jets, you guys will be a Super Bowl contender. I really do believe that. Oh, I agree.

Yeah, I agree. Look at that means getting excited at least preseason. Yeah, you're going to have a full off season of buzz and expectations. That's going to be fun.

Super Bowl? Super Bowl contender. No. Yes.

Absolutely. I think going into the season. I'm just a disbelief that he hasn't been traded yet. Okay, but if he's on the team, you are a Super Bowl contender in my mind.

I'm not doing this as like a bit. He is very, very good. I know, I know from first and experience how fucking good he is. All right.

All right. By the way, do you play the Bears next year? No, no, no. Someone was like, would you rather one of the worst would you rather have ever seen on Twitter tweeted me?

Would you rather the Packers win the Super Bowl or Aaron Rodgers in the Jets beat the Bears in the Super Bowl? Like, I would definitely rather lose the Super Bowl. Yeah, we've established that. Always think the Bears go to the Super Bowl.

I still hate the Packers. I hate Aaron Rodgers as well. But I hate Packers more than Aaron Rodgers, especially now he's gone. He's gone.

Hey, Hank isn't here. What should we do numbers? Yeah, yeah. What do you got, Billy?

Six or nine? Yeah, this counts. Officially, this counts. Let me get my money out.

This counts. I'll go 17. I'm gonna go with we have numbers at the end of the show to with Hank here. So he does get a real shot.

I'm gonna go 77. Oh, man, if 17 comes 20, I would do anything for 17. Anything 12. Anything.

You would drink anything. Anything. Anything. Anything.

One. Oh, one you rose rose. All right. We recorded the rest of the show earlier in the day.

So let's kick to ourselves. It was awesome March Madness tips and so was lucky. Hot seat cool thrown is brought to you by our friends at Coors Light. There's nothing like excitement of the big tournament, but every buzzer beater for your team is someone else's bracket buster and every game's a chance to turn the tables.

There's nothing better than that Thursday. You get to the bar with your friends. Maybe you're at home. Crack open and ice cold, Coors Light.

It's tournament time watching all the games. It is the absolute coldest most refreshing beer out there. There's only one beer that's literally made to chill and that's Coors Light. When the mountains turn blue, it is as cold as the Rockies.

When you need to hit reset, just crack open and ice cold, Coors Light. It's not cold and fresh. It made it chill Friday the tournament. We're going to be in Columbus.

I think it's Coors Light time. Thursday we've got to tape, but Friday it might be Coors Light time for the boys because we love Coors Light. Thank you to Coors Light, our wonderful sponsor. When you need a strategic timeout from the madness, reach for Coors Light.

I'm going to do that on the stream. I'm going to call it time out. Twenty second time out. Boom.

Give me a Coors Light. It's a beer that's made to chill so you can refresh the spirit and jump back into the excitement.

Okay. Hot seat, cool throne. Henry, the gregarious Henry Lockwood. What does that mean?

It means you're just a great story teller. Jovial. Yeah, you're a great story teller. Everyone wants to be around you.

If I was to describe you in one word, it would be sadistic. Sadistic? Why? It's happening right now.

It's just Hank accidentally told me that, accidentally like this is a pro. I thought it was a safe space. I thought we're family. I thought we could tell each other things that we're vulnerable or we're sensitive or like things that bother us and it's going to be okay.

When has that ever been the case? I told you guys I didn't tell you guys I was afraid of heights for seven years. That's true. We went up to the Empire State Building.

Big Cat was rattled because me and PFT were right about how I like it. He actually said he does it both ways. He's bicurious when it comes to the bracket. Yeah, it's going around.

And then he just in college, he did it one way. And the rarement wasn't for me. And Big Cat basically stole my bracket from me. Well, no, I'm holding your bracket because I want you to highlight every game when we're in Columbus.

And then he started folding up and I cringed and I was like, I really hate that sound of folding paper. And Big Cat has spent the last 20 minutes being like, is your head like my headphones on on because I have to worry about sneak attacks now, which is problematic for this podcast. I realize you just called folding papers. It is.

We're now finally getting justice for your yawns. I love a piece of paper on me at all times. Hank released the yawn photos. Oh, we also found out that Max hates the sound of paper rubbing together like this.

We got you guys in that corner. Okay, go ahead. Put your headphones back on. I won't do it again.

No, I have a sound of paper tearing when you go like, Oh, I like that. That's fun. Okay. Are your hossey cool?

Oh, no, Hank, you wince. You wince a little. That was a big one. You didn't like that, Max Carson wince.

I mean, now we're just being rude to the listeners. No, they're happy. They used to care. They changed.

My cool thrown is, I have a couple of first ones, Wales. Oh, great. You're not doing a hot seat first. My hot seat was me.

I have to be with sadistic freaks on the other side of the other room. Free flag. Flying. Yeah, I just feel like, you know, I can't be myself.

I can't be vulnerable. That's sad. And my cool throw is Wales. Yeah, Brendan Frasier won the Oscar.

Dude, what a comeback for Brendan Frasier. Yeah, Brendan Frasier turns out is universally beloved person. Well, he, I mean, it's a tale as old as time when it comes to just like culture, we tear people down. And then when we build them back up, we always love that guy.

It's like, well, Holly, would you tear them down for many, many years? Yeah, I'm proud to say I never tore down. I didn't either paid in a tear down for Brendan Frasier. School ties.

I still think monkey bone is a great film. Yeah. And see no man? Was he with that?

Elizabeth Hurley? Pedazzled? Was he Steve Nebraska? I'm proud bonk.

That is maybe my most proud bonk of all time. And to this day, Elizabeth Hurley would. Yeah. Oh, definitely.

Wait, wasn't he Steve Nebraska? What was that? What was that movie? Georgia the jungles.

I remember him. The scout. Yeah, the scout. He was Steve Nebraska.

That's right. That also hit fingers. And he pitched, I think, a perfect, perfect game where he all strikes. Yep.

He got, he got lowered into the stadium from a helicopter. Yeah. Dude, I read a Frasier rock. So fuck you, Hollywood.

Also, fuck you, Hollywood, for leaving off Pauli Walnuts. Michael Servino, or no, that's not his name. Fuck people are gonna get mad that I actually just doubled down on it. Was Ray Lee out on it?

Yeah, Michael Servino was right name. No, that was not his name. Paul Servino. They left off some like pretty big names.

Paul Servino, remember, he was the boss and good fellas. They left him off. Pauli Goulatieri? Yeah.

No, his name is Paul Servino. That's actually his name. And then they left off Pauli Walnuts. Yes.

Which is bullshit. That is bullshit. Absolutely bullshit. And Tom Sizemore.

Hollywood Phonies. They left out Tom Sizemore. Yeah. And also Top Gun didn't win Best Picture.

Bullshit. Bull the whale. No, the whale didn't. That's everything everywhere.
