Okay, let's go. It's part of my take. There's a partial sports. Welcome to part of my take today is Wednesday, February 7th.

And Hank, you look different. Yeah, um, you know, just work it. Let me try some of my material. Knock, knock, knock.

Who's there? Climate change. Climate change. I'm kidding.

I'm not real. That is stereo, by the way. So no, it's still Hank. Hey, what do you think about your Patriots off season?

You know, I think it was good to hire coach Mayo internally. I think that's going to be good. Don't know what we're going to do in the QB position. I think Mac Jones is a little, a little bitch.

Hey, what's the deal with what is the deal with just tell me the background of Mac Jones? Is he a cause he seems to me to be a really wealthy kid? Is he going to use? Well, do you know what it is?

Is that what it is? Is it a mccorkle? Is that his name? His name is.

So his name is not Mac Jones. Is that is his middle name? Mccorkle? I think his first name is mccorkle.

I'm looking it up right now. Michael the Corkel Mac Jones. Because he just and I'm sorry to get right into it about the Patriots, but I do want to say the NFL is better when the Patriots are losing. I'm sorry.

But think about this. I'm not kidding. Think about this season and how exciting it's been. How many ups and downs, especially in the AFC, the Broncos were in it for a second.

The Texans were in it for a second. Jacksonville looked good. I mean, there was there was a lot of teams in play. And when the Patriots aren't in play, it's just more fun.

It's wide open. It's just wide open. But Matt, it's not really because it's the Chiefs. I thought for a second the Chiefs weren't going to make it.

Yeah, I mean, I listen to you all religiously. I think you would all agree with me. Yeah, they've switched. Though I might have steered you wrong on that.

Man, I put a couple of futures on the Jaguars. I didn't put them on the Broncos. I almost did when they went through their little run. I mean, of course I had I was I seemed to bet with this podcast for some guys, I've seen reasons.

We're the poster boys for going responsibly. Well, betting is so funny because when you hear people talking about something, it just gets in your hands. Like I was good point. Yeah.

That's so funny. I know what they're talking about. Jerry, I love your jacket. It's awesome.

I love any sort of like Super Bowl or NFL theme merchandise. Yeah, it looks awesome. I think you just got it because I think they sold that downstairs. I did.

I just got it. I actually I've been in Vegas now for a couple of days. I actually hit it big in. You know, I know how to huge score and much.

I mean, a lot of money. But not only did I buy this, let me show you the back of this jacket too. If you're watching on YouTube, OK, you don't get to hear it. A rumble.

Yeah. Wow. That's nice. You just want to show off your ass.

No, I didn't only stop there. If you look at my pants, I actually bought a lot of clothes. I had so much money. Look at who makes these pants.

Big cat. Oh, who makes these pants? That's the Bellagio makes those pants. He's getting up close.

So for people who are like, hey, why is Jerry sitting in Hanksie? This show, we have the Schwam as the interview. Chris Berman. Hank is getting ready.

Hank has been a diva all day. He's basically been like, don't talk to me. I don't want to do anything. That's just normal.

Yeah. He's getting ready for his show. So we figured our good friend, Jerry O'Connell, will sit in Hanksie for the start of the show at the end of the show. We'll talk to Hank about how the comedy night went.

But we have JOC. You had your briefcase. Should I ask what's in the briefcase this time? Oh, yeah.

I brought my briefcase. You guys were kind enough to allow me to manage your high stakes fantasy team. How'd that go? How'd that go, Jerry?

No, Jerry. No, no, no, no, no, no. We never asked her back on that. We had a terrible year, and I wanted to take this time with you to tell you some things I learned from this season.

And maybe you could find it in your hearts to allow me to manage your team. You don't have to give an answer today. Uh-huh. But just open the briefcase.

Okay. It's a quinterantino movie. Oh, he's got sheets. He's got sheets.

He also Jerry gave me an excetron that was wrapped in a napkin. Toilet paper. Actually. Yeah.

So that's just true friendship. It looks like you're a mule. I'll talk to you guys. Come with a little weight.

Come with a little. No, I'll make it fast. I realize I'm. Wait, hold on.

Let me see this one thing. Okay. Patriots none ever. Mac Jones seems like such a little bitch and it feels better when the Patriots lose is more exciting.

Way more story. So you already did the Patriots. I already did my Patriots. You know what?

I'm just going to give you some things... I learned this season. Jerry O'Connell is a good Jerry O'Connell. Jerry O'Connell's 2023 season recap.

So let's start with the AFC East, which was such an exciting division. When I came on your show in August, I told, I said, don't draft any dolphins at all. That was a mistake because, fantasy, you basically score points from offense. Their offense was as incredible as I've seen in my lifetime.

Did they're running back, scoring touchouts this year? I believe most of the league, I think he had something like 21 touchdown. So that was a mistake. I think I specifically said stay away from most of it.

That was a mistake. So I've actually changed my tune all the dolphins. If I were to be your manager, all the dolphins. What do you mean if you are?

You have a lifetime contract? Let's make him earn a back. No, I'm going to do a lifetime contract. You know what?

I'm going to fire you right now, Jerry. And getting your job back is contingent on how this goes. No, this is what it feels like to be coach Ciriani. Sorry, Max.

Oh, I have a question. Is Coach McDaniel's annoying? Yes. Josh McDaniel?

No. McDaniel? Michael McDaniel. Yeah.

Michael McDaniel. No, I don't think he's annoying. No, not annoying. If they don't win next year, yes, annoying.

You don't think the cool lot pants are like a little like, you're wearing a glauge open. That's true. The sunglasses all the time is a little bit much for me. The reading glasses that you don't need.

OK. Bills, the Buffalo Bills, we're seeing in the ASEs, all of them. Yeah. You can go one of them.

Step on takes. Is this your preview and your post? Well, no, this is what I'm going to do if you do choose. OK, I've got to come back.

So what happens when you come back? I'm going to have some revisions. OK. If I make it back, the Jets absolutely none of them.

It's a good call. So again, not even Bree's Hall because memes knows is he's going to vulture all those touches. It's easy. Pat's none of them.

Mac Jones is highly annoying. I just can't draft any. Let's move on to the ASE West. I can't draft any Chiefs.

I just can't do it. And I think it's funny. Jake actually brought this up in his good nature, the annoying way where he said that dynasties are good for the business. Not really annoying of him.

It made me think. He was talking about how the Patriots helped basically build Barstool. But they're so annoying those dynasties. If they're not yours, if they're yours, then they're just rough and better.

So you just got to find a dicey that's your own. Yeah, I guess I've never experienced that kind of winning in my life. I mean, you married a supermodel. Well, I know.

But it's still, I don't know if you've seen, but they're on the rocks. We're not on the rocks. That's joke. I saw a report that said that you guys were on the rock.

Yeah, I know. I mean, we're constantly fighting with each other. But we're like, no lawyers have been called. OK, all right, good.

I mean, I see the reports. Isn't every marriage on the rocks? Yeah, true. It's built on the rocks.

I mean, it's a nightmare. We're here in Vegas. We're here in Vegas. We're walking around.

There's a huge convention. Every female convention person can walk past stairs at you with those hungry eyes. Yeah, I don't tell room. And they're wearing a lanyard.

And you have to keep walking because I've seen the way women react around you, Jerry. They love you. They love Jerry. I don't like the chiefs.

They bother me. I don't want to say anything negative about Taylor Swift. But that just, it's unfair that Taylor Swift was basically introduced to the NFL this year. And she's already in the Super Bowl.

In the Super Bowl. In the Super Bowl. It's like that. These people need to know life doesn't work that way.

Yeah, you should have dated someone on the Panthers. Yeah, the Panthers. I want to see her Bank of America stadium week 16. That's a fact.

Making the heart sign to someone. I mean, I'm feeling it. I want to see David Tapper pouring a drink on it. Yeah.

OK, Broncos, AFC West. Who is going to be their quarterback next season? James Weston. Maybe.

I mean, interview. Really good. Great interview. Good stuff.

Little long at times. But man, really good. Wow, that guy can spin a yarn. He can talk.

Yeah, good stuff though. Really good stuff. That was a good one. None of the Raiders.

You know, the Raiders are like a talent like that. Like they've ruined Devontay. They've ruined Josh Jacobs. Look, a lot of O'Connell's in the league now love that.

My last name is O'Connell. But they're like a talent sponge. None of the Chargers, AFC West. You know what I'm talking about?

I just don't see it happening. It's like it's like buying a dilapidated Victorian home. It's like not going to be inhabitable for these hard blockers. You're here at Chargers fan.

I am and I am a Chargers fan because there's. I don't mean any. I don't mean to offend any Chargers fans, but it's so easy to get tickets there. It's like the parking's way easier.

You can wait the whole game and get right out of that parking lot. It's like pretty easy. But not yet, Chargers. AFC, a significant thing happened last season.

And you guys didn't really talk about it. You talked about it a little bit. I'm big on the Bengals. I like them.

I love their offense. I love Joe Barrow. I love Joe Nixon. I talked about everybody here.

That withholding of the information about the hand thing. I actually bet that came. And I love a money line. I love a close money line bet because you get some odds and you're not looking at points.

And that to me is like I try to bet singularly. I think that's the way you win money is that you don't have an exotic, is that you have one bet. And if someone's an underdog by three points, that money line bet. That's my jam.

And I took the bingles that week thinking, well, he's not on the injury report. I know he wore that cast and he was photographed with the cap on his thumb. But it's nothing because it's not on the report. We're now in an age where everyone is gambling.

It's legal. It's no longer done with the bookie. This is like money. That man needs to be on that injury report.

And I'm sorry to say there needs to be repercussions. And I'm done with the bingles. That's the repercussions. Yeah, yeah.

Sorry? That's the repercussions. Jerry will no longer draft their players onto his fans. Yeah.

The worst fate you could have. Yeah. AFC South Jaguars. I'm all in on the Jaguars.

OK. All in. May I ask why? I don't know.

I just have a feeling they're going to. You know, like the first time I came on your show, I told you I had a thing for the Jags. And just I think they're going to move to London. I just can't wait for English people to be like, no, did you hear the Jaguars are coming?

Story history of the Jaguars. Frederick Taylor. Marcus Bruno. Great Smooreys, Jones Drew.

Summery's Jones Drew. Like balls. Right. Or will they remain the Jaguars?

Or will they become like the beef eaters or something? Beef eaters would be good. The beans. Red coats.

Yeah. The inbred monarchs. Yeah. Colts AFC South.

I love the Colts. All of them. The Richard Sins got to protect himself. But love them.

Love Michael Pittman. Yeah. Jim Mercer is OK. He's on the mend right now.

He tweeted a second ago. He's back. Good. Shout out to his mama.

Texans. All the Texans. Except that one, two punch of a single Terry Pierce isn't doing it for me. One, two, knock out punch.

But all the man Collins. Tank. Man, what a team. Eagles, Max.

You ready? All of them, Max. Every single one of them. Yeah.

You are back. So fun to watch. How do you feel about Brazil, Max? The birds are open in the season in Brazil.

I like that they're opening the season because that's just kind of an exciting thing. I don't like that it's coming as a home game. Yeah. That sucks.

One less game at the link. Max, you should make a trip down there. That's all there. We could work on that.

But think about how many farts that is on an airplane. A lot of farts on an airplane. When I think about all the TFs, we're going to be doing it. That's true.

You might do some BFs in Brazil. Yeah. Just with the cheeks. Just the cheeks though.

Like hot dog in the buns. Yeah. That's, by the way, I don't need to generalize and stereotype, but they're known for their asses. Yeah.

And that's a lot of BFs. There's a lot of BFs going on down there. So fun. I wonder if Max would never actually want to insert back there if he'd just be like, I just want to want the friction from the rubbing on your butt.

And then like a Brazilian person would be like, put it in place. Max, now put it in. And Max would be like, no, no, maybe I want the friction. This is my thing.

This is my thing. This is my thing I want the friction. I want the friction. Please, Max, please, put it in.

Put it in now. I want you inside of me. No, no, no, no. I'm going inside.

Stop saying that. No, yeah. That's basically it. That's exactly it.

That's exactly it. Yeah. I don't know. I'm going to stand up for high school football here.

I feel like this isn't croaching on their territory, right? Friday night. That's when the kids play. That's what they did when they did the Jets.

Yeah, it's a good day. That's a good day. Yeah, Fridays are weird. Also, you have to be careful when I know you're a former fantasy manager.

You've got to set lineups for those Friday games. You forget about them. And then they get locked in and you're stuck with someone that you don't want. Brandon Cooks or something.

Jerry, it's part of our review process for how the season went. What was our final record? It wasn't good. I stopped watching.

I'm so sorry. My name is my name. Okay. But I let you down this season.

Yeah, big time. And the only thing to do is to get back up and start working again. And that's going to take us to the NFC East. Cowboys.

Cowboys need a second receiver. You know, I don't mind. I don't mind that Prescott. I don't mind the Cowboys.

Tony Pollard was non-existent. I think I told all the AWLs to draft him. I'm sorry. He sucked.

He sucked. Why? Why did he suck? When you're the backup, you get those carries after everyone does the hard yards and then you actually said that.

I remember he said that. And I'm like, maybe we don't want him to be the featured back. He also had that knee injury that probably slowed him down a little bit. Yeah.

It was a bummer of a season for them. I mean, I'm sitting in Hank's chair, so I feel like I got to defend them. Yeah. Great defense though.

I'm going to talk about Tiffany. I'm going to save that though because I need to collect my thoughts. Giants, I want to apologize again to the AWLs. I told them to waste their fourth round pick on Darren Waller.

And that was an error. Darren Waller, no matter what. Yeah. Very bad.

When did you realize you fucked that up? Was it week one? Week. About halfway through week one.

Yeah. That was a real error. And then I bet when DeVito got in you were like, well, maybe there's going to be connection there. It was a fun story until it wasn't until everything came back down to Earth.

That was a good interview. Love that interview. That was really good. Yeah.

Sean Salato. The commanders. Yeah. What's going to happen with them?

Two years. This year, we're going to get a quarterback. Which one? We got Cliff.

Any of the three. Any of the top three I'm fine. Interesting. Yeah.

What happens to Hal? What did it mind? Hal is probably going to be a great backup. We're probably one of the best backups.

We got actually recording the backup market. We've got Sam Hal and we got Jacobi Bursett. I think we're set. I didn't mind them.

I didn't mind them early in the season. Yep. So like week four, like really early in the season. If you guys really hire me, I just need to see what's going to happen.

NSC West, why am I so... Why are the 49ers boring? Why are they so boring? They're so boring.

Yeah. I don't mind them. No, it makes no sense. They're fun.

They really are? Yeah. Do you like... You don't like running football?

It's just like, what do you want? Like 20 points from all your players? Starters every week? Is that what you want?

I don't know. I'm so bored. You know what? By the way, there's another...

I don't want to make this about celebrity football couples, but there's a pretty thing that's football couple on the 49ers. You know, Olivia Copo, beautiful woman, Christian McAfee, arguably the best player in the league. The best player in the league. Nobody really calls that.

I'm telling you, there's a boredom that happens with the 49ers. And I know I've talked about the guy I work with who always gets in my face, and he's just a volatile man. He's just a tattooed volatile man who always says to me, like, and the Niners just have one of those seasons this year. He's always like, yeah, you like the Niners.

Like, yeah, you're just seemingly nothing. Yeah, the Packers didn't even put a scare into us. Like, we just, for a second there, I thought, but look at us. The Niners put you in the mouth of the ball.

It's just so... I can't track them. They're two points. 20 points every week.

20 points every week. Yeah, that sucks. Oh, let's talk about the Seahawks. Is Pentec's gonna be their quarterback?

That'd be cool. Are you thinking just because he went to Washington? Yeah. And isn't there a...

Hold on a second. You guys are no better than I do because you have fast internet, but who's the new Seahawks? I think it is someone from the Washington Huskies. Please look it up, Jake.

They just hired Steve Bellacchak. As the defensive coordinator. Offensive coordinator, Jake. Waiting on Jake, Jake.

Jake, Jake, come on, Jake, come on, Jake, can't get it. He's sad. What? You're fucking killing me, Jake.

They might be doing interviews because he just got hired last week. Okay. Maybe they're doing interviews. I don't think they've hired anyone.

Okay. I'm sorry, Jake. I apologize. I apologize.

I apologize. I did you wrong. Like, say... Oh, I should...

Jake, say I had no right to do that. Say that. You had no right to do that, Jerry. Just get mad, Jake.

You had no right to do that, Jerry. Jake, you had no right to do that. You had no right to do that. It's even faker.

Oh, I love the Rams. You know why? Because they don't score 20 points every week. They sometimes scored...

Like, sometimes Stafford is like 40 points and then some weeks... I mean, I don't think it's so fun. The Cardinals. I got to tell you something.

I... Sometimes I'm not allowed to watch football in my house. Like, because my family is there. And they watch reality TV on Sundays.

There's a show called 90 day for you on say that comes on on Sundays that my wife and my children watch. And so we have one... It's like a tuner. Like, a one tuner that you have to use in our house.

So I've been listening to some NFL games this season. Like on the series XM now. Oh, yeah. And it is interesting.

Listening to a game. And we one week we streamed Kylo Murray because we had Joe Burrow and that didn't work out well And then I think we had to start Kylo Murray in our in our league and I listened to a Cardinals game the entire game I was doing like yard work And I was really thinking myself I did I've had an edible so I was a little out of it But I thought to myself am I the only person in the world listen It was like week 16 am I the only person in the world listening to this Cardinals radio telecomm Yeah, probably yeah, you might have been I would go back You only have you're only able to watch one show on all the TV It's like I was it's like a um for a second there We have look at the recti v thing and it was we were only allowed to watch on one tuner, but we fixed that since One of our tuners was out. Okay, you've passed voice of the Cardinals. He does ESPN too.

He's really good. So you enjoyed yeah No, it was his voice on a great. He did a great job. But I did the comments so you don't have to take from Jake Just so you know we don't care about the car I'm not actually not joking On a bit like don't interrupt me okay if Hank is in the middle of his like comedy out today and he's like knock knock knock knock See you take knock knock Who's there don't fucking interrupt me?

No, uh, let me do a hand joke knock dog. Who's there? Epstein Epstein who I was murdered I'm kidding Jake. We fucking love you calm down.

Wait, you're making me into a mean person. I'm gonna bully you're turning me into one Um, yeah, you did this to yourself Jake. Yeah, and the NFC South absolutely no one not Good player Guys that's it that's my pitch think about it. That's um, that's all I got for you Yeah, it's wrong me a culture.

How are you feeling about the Super Bowl before we do hot sequel throne? Are you gonna you like the Chiefs or the 49? You know I had a pretty terrible year betting on games this year as I told you I've been on the Bengals right before Joe burrows hand fell off And I had a future on Baltimore because I listened to this podcast and you somehow fucking got into my brain Yeah, that's my bad. Um, and I think I was really rooting against Taylor Swift I just kept betting against Taylor Swift.

I was like you need to learn failure like very talented woman beautiful woman I've met her wonderful like a presence like a presence like a force, but like life Life is just like a shit show. It's just like it's just one let down after another and that easy life isn't this It's not gonna. It shouldn't be this easy. It isn't this easy.

It's a nightmare life is a nightmare and Like the most traumatic thing to happen To Taylor Swift. I guess is Kanye taking saying Beyonce deserve this like it's not really that traumatic. It's kind of a cool story Like if you're like, oh my gosh Taylor tell the time that yay came on stage I just I'm just in a bad mood. I'm not and I'm actually I have no idea who's gonna win this game So I'm not gonna watch it.

Okay, are you allowed to watch the entire game? I think I am I think I am You know, it's funny. I My wife Former supermodel look up. Yep.

Look it up. J. I look her up though. It says that your marriage is on the rock It's not okay.

It's not true My wife doesn't like football doesn't like the sound of the NFL It's a man. Oh, yeah, she doesn't have the old connell. She only took the same most and then dropped it And then I I actually took the same. Oh, some Jerry Stame I tried to take it The only time I've really I was watching I wish Hank was here to bad he's uh, knock knock J sixers We were just peaceful protesting But the only game the only Super Bowl I really watched from beginning to end my wife was that Patriots Falcons game and it was really funny my wife wasn't watching it my wife was shopping online My wife wasn't watching it and it's so funny in the fourth quarter I can't believe I was hate watching it because I wanted to see the Patriots lose and I was I couldn't believe what was happening And my wife like looked up from Wayfare or whatever fucking pillow she was buying another fucking pillow Oh Fun trip Jerry Max do Brazil.

Yeah, great trip But my wife looked up and went Are the Patriots gonna win this game? I was like I was like are you watching this and I was like they were done 20 to 3 Are they gonna come back and win this game and I That was the last sort of like happy moment we had with each other. Yeah, I was like she knows ball Would she like to manage your fancy I would be open. Oh god.

She's like bang bang I'm gang Me only the way it's not stupid god That's another annoying thing about nine or so and my wife has like nine or skier and she wears it and like people in the street Or I was like bang bang is this why you hate the Niners is it because it makes it makes your wife happy?

Yes, however, I believe they're switching its grass But it's still cursed. Yes, FIFA is making them switch the grass. FIFA is also not calling them by the name Metlife Stadium It's just New York, New Jersey, which made me realize like we don't ever have to call these stadiums by the corporate Names of the wants to be giant and it's always Heinz Field. Yeah, it's not it's not accurate sure But yeah, Staples Center.

Yeah. Yeah. What is that even? Yeah?

Yeah, not anymore. Yeah, I'm surprised Were you upset that you didn't get involved in the FTX is that kind of just a that's a level of your celebrity? You weren't there yet. You know, it's funny.

I'm just getting back to the whole like Waking up a peer angry at the world thing. Um, I remember what was all happening. I was like, man Why am I not on this level? Yeah, how do I like by the way?

They were like getting paid and like owner They were getting paid not only in like currency in a currents They were getting paid and like it would be like getting paid in a banking system. Yeah, like and I remember feeling um What's the word jealousy? Embi anger and um, man, I was so happy when they all got sued. It was so Exciting like yeah, pay up Brady.

Yeah, not demon. You duped us all, you know, I'll be like Some people to drive like damn waller and the floor exactly and people believing Yeah Alright, you're cool. Throw my cool throw in his lines general manager Brad Holmes So he had his uh, I think it was his end of year press conference And he just roasted the media about their old takes exposed I don't know if you guys saw any of these quotes no, but uh, he told someone you wanted us to pick a quarterback You didn't want us to pick pen a stool. I know you said that was a miss I get probably two people in this room credit for admitting they were wrong.

So he just lashed out I like it should be held accountable. We're on you tell us. We're not scared to tell you that you suck Yeah, you should tell us we're wrong tell the meeting when they start. Yeah.

Yeah, so like we're wrong. Do we know? Yeah, I don't think you should do that. I just think you have to like act above No, I disagree So yeah, there's a reason why we're not but honestly like one could say that the Eagles downfall began when someone pretty high up in their Coaching organization were yelling at fans and arrowhead stadium.

Yeah, which is really it's petty, you know, I seriously Sign true, but he's probably holding that in and the heat of the podium like that would be a great that would be a great speech to give if they Want the Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah, but they lost so like yeah, you gotta wait you gotta hold that one Alright, you're hot see cool. Oh my hot seat is Drake. Yeah, Drake's on a hot seat.

Jerry. Have you seen have you seen the internet today? I am not know alright, so Drake international superstar. Yeah, I think most number one singles of all time He was jacking off and the video has been out.

Yes, but I'll put it this way his penis won't be getting any NFL head coaching Opportunities because it's too large and it's too large. Yeah, he's got big dick. Yeah, yeah What a bummer it's so much better to hear like you guys were like filming a commercial and you still glances at Each other's Nixon. They weren't big.

Yeah. No, we're not like Drake. No, no, I actually think my conspiracy theory Brain tells me that Drake leaked this himself because it's a good angle. It's like, you know, and he's got a big dick Yeah, so if anything like my respect for Drake increase it really bummer.

Yeah, it's really big bummer Yeah, they don't make but speaking off in Brazil for his day. No insertion though. Yeah, just just cranking it Yeah, I'm talking about cranking it My cool throne is Chinese spy pigeons Chinese spy pigeons are on the cool throne There was a pigeon that got it was imprisoned it got arrested in India It was held in jail for eight months because I thought it was a Chinese spy pigeon They they saw that had had like these two metal rings on its leg and the metal rings had Chinese writing on it And I guess the Chinese have used spy pigeons before so they imprisoned much like Brittany Griner They imprisoned this pigeon in India for a long time. They conducted a thorough review of the situation They found out it was a Taiwanese racing pigeon which apparently is a thing that you can bet on which sounds awesome And these pigeons can make like professional athletes salaries like these pigeons are some of the richest athletes in the world And so they determined it was a racing pigeon.

They released it now It's in a hospital recuperating from its stay in Indian prison. It was a good story I don't know the name I want to find out what the name of this pigeon is But yeah, they did a deep and proper inquiry investigation They did not find any fact associated with spying and the pigeon was released last week And it is in fine health according to the hospital. So a good story with a good in it They should have had like a pigeon a prisoner exchange with like a war crimes. Yeah, a Chinese warlord Yes, we turn from India for the other pigeon.

Yes, and then they pass each other other tarmac. Yeah, like bridges spies Yeah, rock all right. I got two hot seats one is I guess cable Well, no cable might be on the cool throw ESPN Fox and Warner Brothers are all combining so we just have cable again Yeah, so into another like a it's for sports, right? Yeah, so I guess maybe the hot seat is just us forever believing that we were gonna Back in cable.

Yeah, so let me just ask this so Fox Sports and ESPN are because I know they are the same company It's Fox Warner Brothers and ESPN and so is there gonna be like I'm cuz some there's I know there's a Fox Sports and an ESPN But I know they're both owned by Disney are they gonna be I think they're teaming up for like an app for streaming service. Yeah, yeah, all right. Yeah, so I don't know it's stupid Just let me watch all the sports. I don't care.

Yeah, it's top of the shit Just tell me where to watch ESPN Warner Brothers and Fox are launching a new sports streaming service combining each company sports rights Yeah, which I like for one reason though because going back and forth between ESPN and Fox Sports on your phone or tablet on a college football Saturday sucks sucks So I'm very glad about this all right My other hot seat PFT alluded to it Mike Ravel for being too big incredible Pulitzer prize winning journalist Diana Rossini who only reports facts Yep, she said that she had a GM at the senior bowl who mentioned to me Ravel's physical bill that he's a very large human being and can be very intimidating to people in an organization They're gonna be part of these decisions and that is a factor It's always I mean you have to understand if you're a football owner large human beings you don't want to be around them No, they will they be able to communicate effectively with other large human beings. Yeah, you want a nerd Yeah, you want a tiny little nerd I do like the idea of owners just being intimidated by big people Yeah, just like I don't want to deal with this guy. He could kick my ass Yeah, very well is he is a large human being and then my cool throne is Andy Reed who is not gonna retire Wow? He has noted small guy successful football coach Andy Reed.

Yeah, yeah He did a big article about him on ESPN where he was all just football guy quotes where he said he'll spend a couple hours Day on football whether he's watching video or drawing up plays for possible inclusion the playbook He said I enjoyed doing that some people read novels. I look at plays They interviewed Dave tob special teams coach. He said football is his hobby. This is all he does I'm trying to get Andy to play golf.
