On today's part of my Take we're going to talk about Monday Night Football and what happened in Cincinnati on Monday night with Demar Hamlin. We're breaking up the show a little bit, so the first 10 minutes is just gonna be me and PFT talking about what transpired. Then we'll go back into the studio and try to give people a normal show.
We thought this was the best way to do it. We'll do Hot Sequel Throne. We have Pete Prisco on, we have Max Duggan and Hank as well to do the 2022 bonk list. So we're trying to break it up and navigate as best as possible.
The springtime thaw is finally here. Flowers are blooming, days are longer. We're saying yes to more plans and finally getting outside. Running, walking, just moving again.
It's the perfect time to upgrade your everyday go tos with bombas. But Bumba Sports socks are super comfortable and designed with sports specific tech for running, cycling, yoga, hiking, you name it. I've been trying to get more into running and inclined tread when I can't get outside. The weather's not so nice.
So whatever the case is, I'm truly just blown away by these socks. They are a game changer. They're cushion when you need it, sweat wicking, they don't slide around. I just focus on just going as fast as possible instead of constantly adjusting my socks.
Once I put the boots back in the closet, Bombas Warm Weather Footwear is back in the rotation. I just know the Bomba slides whenever I'm going to the grocery store. They're made with a super lightweight and waterproof Eva. That's soft but still very supportive.
They're really comfortable and perfect to toss on and go. I just put on my radios about leave my apartment, I do a quick little errand, I come back, slide right back off. There's nothing better than the bomba slides. Then there's the best base layers you'll ever own.
Bombas underwear and T shirts. Breathable, flexible, really soft. A full on upgrade from your usual basics. And for every item you purchase, an essential clothing item is donated to someone facing housing insecurity.
One purchased, one donated with over 150 million donations in count. Head over to bumbas.comaudio and use code audio for 20% off your first purchase. That's b.comaudio code audio@ checkout. Okay, let's go.
Higher. Oh, we gotta run down to part of my take. Welcome to part of my take. Today is Wednesday, January 4th, and a little bit something different to start the show Monday Night Football tomorrow.
Hamlin. I think everyone saw what transpired. We thought the best way to do this show was to break it up. So the first 10, 15 minutes will be just me and PST talking about it and then we will go back in the studio with everyone else.
And you know, before we get into tomorrow, like, I understand some people don't want to laugh right now. It's a very serious thing. We know what our role is and to, you know, give people a little brevity in their life. Life is not easy.
So we thought this was the best way that we could both talk about a serious thing but also give everyone something to smile about. So, yeah, Monday night was pretty horrific. As we're taping this, it's 9:30 on Tuesday. We tried to wait the majority of the day to hopefully get a good update.
The last update we've seen is Demar Hamlin is, you know, in critical condition, still kind of maybe doing better. From some of the reports we've seen, it's obviously like, you know, we're not gonna get an answer anytime soon. But yeah, it was, it was pretty shocking and tragic to watch. And we love football.
We know that. I think the thing that BFT you and I like, we always, you know, we're huge football fans, we love football. And we have to admit that like our livelihood in this show is a lot of it is based on football and what the sport provides for us. So to see that, you know, we're not football players, but we, we care about a lot of guys in the NFL and the league is important to us.
So to See someone collapse and need CPR on the field was. It shook me. It shook me back. It was scary.
It was really, really frightening watching that entire scene play out and the look on, you know, I saw Josh Allen's face on the sideline, Diggs's face. The players knew almost instantaneously that there was some pretty serious going on. And the sports world kind of came to a stop. Like nothing else really mattered at that time than making sure he was okay.
Because as, as sick as it is, like, as NFL fans, we do love the NFL on like a weekly basis, we'll see a player, you know, they break a leg, they tear a ligament and they, you know, they get card off the field and it's sad and you feel for him and you think about him. But the show goes on in that moment. And I think what a lot of people saw last night is like there's a very clear line where it's a cliche to say that things are bigger than sports. This was a moment where sports literally did not matter.
It's like there was a person on the field at risk of dying and according to some reports may have actually died on the field that they brought back. Now there's a lot of negative stuff that's going on right now. People are jumping over like Skip for some tweets that he had. Bart Scott said some stuff.
I don't really want to get into any of that because it doesn't really help anything. I think that there are some things that we can put a little bit of light on because those other heavy implications, those are self explanatory. But the medical staff at the game did such a good job, it's unreal. There are two places that I would want to get severely injured.
One would be an emergency room, like in the waiting room. And then the second would be like on the field at an NFL game because within like 30 seconds they have world class doctors on the field that were provided. They were giving CPR almost instantly to them. And that might have been the difference.
We don't know what's going to happen, obviously, but that might have been the difference between life and death. It really is like a credit to modern science and the doctors to be able to be there right away and the tools that we have and to say something about the negative stuff. I agree with you. I think being on the Internet for as long as you've been on the Internet, you start to realize a trend that when something tragic happens, people can't just feel grief, they have to feel anger.
So it quickly just devolves from, this is a terrible thing that happened and we should all feel sad and, you know, kind of put it into perspective, right to who said something dumb, let's jump down their throat. And we're not gonna like litigate everyone's tweets. But I just, I've noticed that on the Internet that people just can't comprehend the really tragic thing that happened. So they're like, well, what else can I do?
I can be really angry online and go after people and it doesn't really help anyone. I, you know, Ryan Clark said it best. And the whole scene was so crazy to watch because it's, it's, you know, Booger and Schefter and Susie Colbert were put in impossible spot to basically carry a live broadcast. You saw Booger was very shaken up.
He did an outstanding job. Then they went to Scott Van Pelt and Ryan Clark, and Ryan Clark said it best. He was just like, this is the dark side of the NFL that we don't, you know, as players, don't we try not to think about it, that this does exist. Like tragic injuries and really life altering things, you know, Ryan Shay's here on that same field can happen.
And you try to like not think about it. And it's a lot of young guys chasing their dream. And he was saying, like, I love football more than anything besides my kids. And so it's not like a football's at fault.
It's that this is just really, really sad and it hopefully takes a turn for the better. Because, you know, demar Hamlin love football. He was chasing his dream. And to have that happen in a freak accident, it's just.
You just really, really hope that everything turns out. You said exactly right. Like the Bills players, like players always know before and you knew right away that it was something different when you saw their faces and you saw some of them crying and you saw like even that the five minute warmup, which we can talk about, but like Josh was just looking out, blank face out on the field, you're like, this is not. They can't play.
They can't play this game. And I know that people, I mean, in the moment, we're all sitting on our couch and we see that you can't play the game. I do think there's two things that happening. NFL clearly obviously doesn't really care.
Like they've never prioritized player safety. They say they do, but they don't. But I do think that they prioritize player safety insofar as to the point where it starts to cost them money. Right, right.
And I think the five minute warning thing that every warm up thing that everyone is really like hung up on, I thinking about it today, like, I don't, I don't know if it came from the refs. I don't know. I think what happened in a truly human moment is we've seen really bad things happen on a football field. Ryan Shazier being like, you know, an example, an ambulance takes someone away and then you go on as normal.
And so I think a lot of it was almost like reflex, like this is what we do. You go on the ambulance, then we start the game back up. And then, you know, Sean McDermott and Zach Taylor, credit to them and whichever players spoke up being like, this is not normal. We should not play this.
And they made the right decision yet. So I think that if it took a little too long, you can argue that. But at the end of the day, they didn't play the game. And it's probably credited to the players and the coaches, not the league.
But it's still. I'm happy that they were able to get to that conclusion because I think it would have been very wrong to continue that game. Yeah, they made the right decision. And according to all the reporting that I've seen, we saw it when it was happening live.
I think we all reacted to it in the moment where they make the announcement. Joe Buck said, I think four times on the broadcast that they were being told the game would be restarted in five minutes. Troy Vincent in the NFL says that that was never his idea, which could be true. That could be very true.
That Troy Vincent and Roger Dell did not make a call on this and that it was the officials and the game managers on site that kind of, like you said, went along with what the traditional playbook is for something like this, which is, okay, give the teams five minutes, warm up. We saw Joe Burrow start to throw passes. We saw some of the guys moving around the sidelines as if they were going to get back in that game. And in that moment, I think everybody with a sense of what just happened understood that you can't play this game.
One, it's bigger than the game because there's a man that died on the field. That's. That's literally what we all saw happened. To expect his teammates and everybody else to go out and to try to play a football game after that is foolish.
And there is a blur safety element involved where those guys turn heads. Not gonna be the game when they're out there and there's gonna be a different level of competitiveness in that game depending on play to play and who's in it, who's not focused. And that's dangerous for everybody involved. And then there's just a simple fact that, like, you should, based on what these players have seen and what they're going through mentally, do not make them go back and do their jobs.
Imagine if you're at work and like a co worker passes out and you have to shock him back and give him cpr. Like, you're not in any position to go back and focus on your job later on that day. But what we saw was EFL. They struggled initially.
You write Zach Taylor and Sean McDermott, they all the credit to them for making the logical decision and for saying, hey, this is not something that we've normally seen stopping the game from restarting it when it looked like it was going to. Then it sounds like the NFLPA got in touch with the teams and they worked their way with the NFL and discussed the fact that, like, this is, this is not gonna happen. So I'm not gonna say, I'm not gonna point fingers at Roger Bell and say, you're the bad guy for trying to restart this game. It might not have been his call, but it does speak just to, like, the natural flow of things in the NFL is when a player gets seriously hurt, even up to the point of them needing CPR on the field, the status quo is, okay, we're gonna get this started in five minutes.
That's what the on site game officials tried to do. And I think you need to, like, take a step back and, and, and realize that it's not always, it's not that serious. Right. And it's, it's also a great reminder in a terrible situation that had to have, you know, take this to remind everyone that these guys are all humans.
And, you know, like, hearing about Jamar Hamlin's mom coming down from the stands and trying to get to the ambulance. They're, you know, their relationship, they have with each other as teammates, their families, they're watching them and watching the game and saying, you know, the next hit could be a catastrophic hit. And I don't, I don't think there's a school of thinking like, well, it's football. They signed up for it.
Yeah, okay, we all know the dangers of football, but there's some really bad shit that can happen in football. And it's okay to take a step back and be like, let's, let's let's make sure everyone's okay here. Both, like you're saying, mental health. And tomorrow, Hamlin in hospital in critical condition.
Right now, I don't think anyone's making the argument that, you know, football's over. It's just. It needed the necessary step back and the game to stop and be canceled to realize, like, this is something that is a one in, I don't know, a million thing that happened that needs to be addressed accordingly. It can't just be the regular show goes on.
Because you're right. Like, the normal reaction of the NFL is always like, the show must go on. We played an entire season in Covid with games on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Like, we know that that's what the NFL, that's their protocol.
They go, the show must go on. But this is one of those situations where I'm happy the show didn't go on, and I'm happy that, you know, the Bills players were able to stop playing. Some able to see, you know, go to the hospital. I know Stefan digs them to the hospital.
They're able to get home to their families. Because at the end of the day, like, we're. Look, we're not. Everyone knows the show.
We try not to be serious ever, but this is a situation where it is, like a step back situation and say, like, okay, these guys are humans and we need to. We need to reassess kind of how we look at the whole thing and give it its, like, time to heal. Yeah. I think first I want to say it's not that serious.
I'm obviously not talking about the injury. I'm talking about this sport of football compared to the guy that is injured. Let me make that clear. So I think a lot of people found themselves in a state of.
I guess they didn't have a direction to channel any of their energy right after it happened. Because we're so used to getting a thumbs up from a player being, like, point to name, even when they're clearly not doing well. We see, like, movement. We're used to hearing Dinatra say, like, he has movement in his extremities.
I think everybody's waiting for an update from a reporter saying he's regained consciousness and, like, he's got a message for his team, for the fans. We were all waiting for that. We're waiting for the picture like we got from Christian Erickson when he passed out, or he actually had cardiac arrest as well at the soccer game two years ago, where, you know, he puts a picture up from the hospital. We were all waiting for that.
And when we didn't get any acknowledgement that, like, things were improving, we were just. We started to lash out. And we did see a little bit of that online, like, looking for the bad guy. Okay, I can get mad at Skip Bayless and that will make me feel better in this situation, but the reality is I think everybody was kind of like dealing, wrestling with their own, a little bit of grief and also just a little bit of shock and trying to process what they just saw.
Yeah. And it's. I don't blame people who get their initial reaction is let's get angry and witch hun on the Internet. Because it's just no one knows how to deal with this.
No one knows how to deal with a situation they've never seen before. So I don't. I don't think it's wrong. I think a lot of people probably woke up today being like, you know, maybe trying to witch hunt the three or four bad tweets was not the correct way to use my energy.
Maybe they didn't. I don't really care. It's just the whole thing is sad. And I really, really hope we get a good update soon.
I know that, you know, I would assume. I don't know what the NFL is going to do in terms of scheduling. It's not really relevant right now, but obviously that's a question a lot of people are asking. I'm sure it will happen in due time in the next day or two.
The only other thing I want to say was just like, the Mar. Hamlin the guy. Because, you know, it came out, you know, his charitable, you know, giving with. With a toy drive that has now reached, I think, five and a half million dollars.
And all the stories about who he is and like, how he's. He's really a role model to kids in Pittsburgh. He grew up in Penny, went to pit. He's a hero to a lot of these kids.
He seemed like, you know, the consummate, just professional teammate, friend, you know, son, brother, all these things. And. And it seems like, you know, one of those things where instead of finding that anger online for who made a bad tweet, it should probably be focused more on, like, what an incredible human being demar Hamlin is and trying to help however that is. And you said it, I mean, before.
Pft. But like, the. I think. What was his uncle's quote that was really, like, profound.
I. I can look it up exactly here and I think, let me do that because I don't want to get it wrong. It was. It was a really.
Okay. He said. He said, this is. This is Tamara Hamlin's uncle, Dorian Glenn.
He said a lot of people don't get to see how loved they are while they're alive. So for him to have a situation where he could have been taken away and he has a chance to come back and see all that love that he got. And, yeah, I mean, it's true. Like, you know, we say give people their flowers, and most people don't get to ever see, like, all the lives that they've impacted and how much people truly care about him.
But the truth is, people, Everybody out there has a lot of people that care about him. And hopefully, and I hope I'm not reading too far into this, but it sounds like there's some. A little bit of progress being made as far as himself goes, and hopefully he'll be able to wake up. And what an awesome moment that would be for him to get to see all the love that's been shown to him from strangers, friends, you know, Bill's Mafia has obviously stepped up big time.
The organization, his teammates like that. That would be an incredible moment for him. So I really know, amongst other reasons, I really hope that he gets to experience that. Yeah, and I hope he experienced it, too, because it's just the.
You know, we love football. We really, really love football, and I think a lot of people love football. And it's been cool to see the outpouring of love for Demar Hamlin, both in Buffalo, nationwide, Cincinnati. Like, the fans were, I think, were great on Monday Night Football.
You know, some of the stories about making sure that his mom was able to get down to the field as quickly as possible, even though she wasn't credentialed, like, all these things. So I don't know, it's just. That's the positive side of seeing everyone kind of come together and use positive energy and hope that, you know, everything turns out okay. That's, you know, those are the moments I look forward to be like, yeah, this is.
This is what's good in life. You know, it's not someone bad tweet. It's. It's rejoicing in a great young man who hopefully can come out of this.
Yeah, 99% of people I actually think are awesome and wonderful, and we're celebrating. There's one person in particular I want to talk about, because I did get a couple DMs, and I got a couple texts from some friends who happened to be at this game as well. I Don't know who this lady was. She was part of the medical staff that was there.
And the second he fell to the ground and she started being attended to on the field, she recognized this fairy situation, sprinted off, helped get the defibrillator onto the field, motioned for the ambulance, was kind of calling some shots, and started to grab players from each team and pull them into place to have them stand around Damar to give him a little bit of privacy in that moment when they started to do CPR on him, which is something that would have. Like, that would have. It would have been traumatizing to everybody involved. And also, he deserves it.
Yeah, he deserves to have the dignity of having privacy in a situation like that. And I don't know who she was. These people. I got two DMs and two text from people that were there that just wanted to share that story.
So I thought it was worth sharing on the show in case anybody knows who she was. Just absolutely great job by the medical staff to be able to, like, spring into action that quickly. Yeah. And last thing, and we'll take it to ourselves.
Back in studio. We mentioned it with Pete Prisco, but knowing how to do CPR is pretty easy to take, like, an hour course. I mentioned it with Pete, but, like, I did do a course when I had, you know, my son and we had to do child CPR lesson and stuff like that. Like, you never know.
You never know when it could help someone, and there's heroes everywhere. So, you know, if this is. If this is a moment that spurs a lot of people to go out and get certified in CPR about all the good that will happen from that. But at the end of the day, we.
We know what type of podcast we are. We know that we're here to entertain people and not be super serious. We thought, obviously, this situation needed a little bit of a different tone to start the show. The rest of the show will be back in studio with everyone, back to our normal programming, because we know that people want to laugh and people want to think about something else, and maybe it's not even thinking about this, but thinking about something else that's going on in their life.
That's tough right now. So we know. We know our role in the universe in that sense. So with that, let's.
Let's kick it to ourselves. Back in studio, we got Pete Priscoe, Max Duggan and the 2022 Bonk List and hot sequel Throne. Okay, we're back in studio. We're gonna get right back to the show.

Okay, Hank, start us off. Hot sequel throw My hot size is me, but I know that it's me. It's just something I want. I've been thinking about for a while and I want to talk with you guys about this.
Non cash tips. Every single food service. I feel like I used to have an understanding of the unwritten rules of tipping. I'm supposed to tip, you're not supposed to tip.
But in today's day and age of technology, it seems like every single place you put a card, they ask for a tip. And it has thrown off my understanding of what is a tip and what's not a tip. And I also am woke about. I feel like if I'm tipping, if I go pick up food, I want to go pick up my lunch today, it asks for tip.
I don't think that, that if I give, you know, 20%, $2, $5, I don't think that's going to the person who made my food. Right. Okay, so I've got, I just don't. I just want to, I want to get this out there.
I want to be screwed. Sometimes I do zero and I feel cheap. But in my heart I'm like, this is, this is correct. Yeah, it's, it's definitely something we're seeing more and more of, especially at places where like you essentially it's transactional.
You pay money and then you get your thing and leave. I have a very simple system for handling this. My system is if there's somebody next to me in line that can see if I'm leaving a tip or not, I leave a tip. And if there's not, I usually don't.
And then the report just to make it. I'd feel bad if the person behind me is like, oh, PFT's cheap with CBS. No, they essentially, you know, they ask you sometimes a roundup, a donation. They basically pledged like $15 million to the, to whatever the corporation or the charity was.
They pledged that they used other people's money to fulfill that $15 million, which is fraud. So that's in my head now too, where it's like, now I'm like, I don't even think again. It's where I don't think. If it's money going to the workers, that's one thing.
I don't feel like it is. I just do 15% every time just so that like the transaction is nice, clean. We did this because you're cheap. Is that cheap?
No, I don't. No. 50% on my takeout. This is where I get thrown off.
What are you talking about? Yes, I'm talking about takeout. Yeah, you're talking about like walking into Five Guys ordering a burger. 15%.
That's what I do. Like, I'm not eating there, I'm just taking it and going away. Yeah, but five years ago, would you have tipped anything? Yeah, if they give you an option and it's not at like a cvs.
The CVS or the grocery store where they do those, those donation things. I'm just convinced that the money doesn't actually go there. Or like Hank's saying that it's actually going to go there from cvs. They're using us to refill what they're pledging.
So my rule of th. I honestly just feel like 20% just saying. The only reason this is kind of conversation is because that new square iPad type devices TikTok trends, but it's just because certain especially takeout places use that type of payment system that has that tip option is why it's all discussed. I don't think it's supposed to tip.
If you like pick up food. I see I pick up food. I do 15%. If I'm sitting down, it's 20 or more.
Yeah, I usually get tipper, but I've been questioning myself when I go, I literally walk in, pick up the food and then think about this on my tipping. This way you gotta think about all these things is the people working are probably not making a ton of money. And it's like if it's a 15 meal and you're tipping 15, that's like a couple bucks. What does that mean?
Deal. Right. It's probably if enough people do it, it means a lot to them. Yeah.
If it's takeout, there's usually somebody that's responsible for like putting the entire meal together, packaging up in the styrofoam stuff. So it's not. You are getting service, it's just not coming to your table. It's just getting packaged up into a bag.
I do delivery 20, 25. I, I usually if it's, if it's the same place, I order from a lot. Yeah. I go all the way to the right and I tip the most amount because they're probably gonna.
That person gets. Yeah. Wait real quick. Does that mean you guys tip at Chipotle?
I can be built into a tip 15%. Basically. Somebody asked me for money, I feel bad not giving them money. I just hit the button.
We're on the same patreon. Yeah. We're only 75. That's true.
I'll give you one of my. Yeah. I'm down 5k. Yeah.
Which although that does. That does queue into my cool throne. I have a couple. The first one was insane media.
Statland Mitchell, 71 points last night. Luca had that crazy 60 point triple double a week ago, week and a half ago. So that's, you know. St NBA stallions are back.
My other cool throne is actually me again. Darts day. Everyone remembers darts day. Back in June, the World Darth Federation, whatever it's called, came to Madison Square Garden.
Thanks for the invite block of US1 was awesome. Had a great time. I would have had a great time. I placed a bet, what I thought was a bet on that ninth event.
Oh, I put in two people. Van Gerwin, who's the goat, and then Michael Smith, who's also pretty good but he's a much bigger underdog. Van Gerwin won the event and I was like, yes, cash it. Like plus a thousand or something.
It's just never cash. It's been in my best for the entire year. And it said the date that the finals were was January 1st. So I'm looking January 1st finally.
Like I'm trying to track like who's winning the championship. I'm trying to follow along what's going on. At no point was I ever sure when this was ending. It didn't end January 1st, it ended today.
But the finals going on right now. Michael van Gerwen and Michael Smith. So guaranteed winner. And right before it started today.
Right there. I'm going to look at the cloud. I need to watch it literally before we start recording. Van Gerwin was one dart away from getting nine darter.
He missed on the 12. So eight out of nine, Michael Smith comes right after him. Nine darter. Wow.
Some are calling it the greatest hand of darts ever. I'm calling it the greatest hand. Is it an inning? I don't know.
I've done that beforehand in like 2012. I want to say when there was World cup or was it 2010 World Cup. I bet on cricket. World Cup.
And I had to wait like five months. And I was just like sitting there like, what the fuck? It was June. And I've been looking every time I go into like, you know, and all of a sudden I've been looking at my bets and it's like, well, yeah, maybe this vanguard will hit 1200.
Yeah, you pretty much already spent that money, probably. How are you so good at betting? Guards. I just, I just handicapped it.
Well, yeah, I handcap that event well. And then apparently they won the championship. Although it again, it said it ended January 1st. It's January 3rd right now.
So I'm not even 100% positive that this is the end, but it, like, has to be. Is it like actually a cricket match where it's like four days long? You have to wait this long? I really hope I'll fall back on Friday.
Okay. Who's your goat? Yeah. Michael Smith, though better.
Odd. More money. So you. My hot seat is women.
Oh. Women are on the hot seat because a study came out where they asked men and women of various ages what the chances would be that they could land an airplane, land an airliner, if the pilot became incapacitated and, and they had to take over the cockpit with help from aircraft controllers, they could get on the radio. And less than 50% of women said that they could, they could land an airliner, while 46% of men said that they could. So men are at 46 and only one in five women say that they could land an airliner.
Take over. Have confidence yourself. These things are basically like, it's, you press autopilot and you talk to the people in the tower and then you land the fucking plane. It's not that hard.
And if you don't land it, you just get it back up and come back around. Yeah, it's in the air. You just keep flying it. So there's, I mean, there's lift, drag, and the other two, which are line, anyways, I can land fucking plane.
It's not that hard. And so if anybody out there, I, I, I would actually, if Southwest Airlines did give me a jet and they let me try this, I would be able to land this plane. What do you want the jet out there? Yeah.
What do you think this pole would be for? Parole parking? What's up, Billy? The first part.
What? Landing gear. Landing gear. That's the last thing that you do.
No, no, you know, final approach, you put the flaps down, then you put the gear down, then you put the wheels down. You don't know Paul. Yeah, I'm a wheels down guy. No, whatever.
I can land a plane is what I'm getting at. And I think everybody in the studio should be able to land a plane. String. What do you mean?
What's that thing on carrier cable? Yeah. Realistically I don't think I would be able to land a plane on an aircraft carrier. But not for strike.
But I do think like all joking aside, if I got behind the wheel or the stick of a 737 and I was able to talk to air traffic control I honestly do believe that I would be able to land a plane. I agree. It was 740 since I'll fly by wire 747. I've never been back to one of those.
I'm not sure. Easy, easier. Airbus probably just give me an iPad. Auto, auto.
You just go right down. Yeah, it's pretty simple stuff. It's not rocket science, it's air science. When you guys were little kids, you know how they would they make you turn off your phones and stuff.
I thought that it was because I didn't have a phone but I had a Game Boy. Yeah. I thought it was because if I kept it on I would be able to land the plane with my Game Boy. You could.
That's just an all time like we should do. We should do a whole like dumb shit we thought of. I think we did Mount Rushmore. Like I used to take my balls or play do when I was a little kid.
I thought I was an elf. Ears. Growing in eighth grade. I'm sorry five eight.
That's actually a pretty normal size thing. Which brings me. I have dropped you off your house before. It wasn't big.
No, it's bottom line is I can land an airplane and I like women out there and have more confidence in themselves. So people like oh this just speaks to the irrational confidence of men. I think that women are just too humble. Yeah you can do it ladies.
You can land a plane. It's not that difficult. Absolutely. Okay.
Cool throne like cool throne is short kings like myself because elves because there was a. A post that came out in the New York Times. It was an article about why people need to start appreciating short kings more and why being short is better for the future. So this author, Mara Altman wrote an essay saying that not only do you short people tend to live longer but they're also crucial in conserving food and resources on our dying planet.
The shorter are also inherent conservationists which is more crucial than ever in this world of 8 billion. So basically, if we were 10% shorter, we would save 87 millions of tons, tons of food per year. Not to mention trillions of gallons of water, quadrilles of BTCs of energy, and millions of tons of trash. So it's truly the age.
Bill Gates wrote it. It sounds like we're doing eugenics, but for tall people. I don't think that any 5, 9 person in power would ever try to eliminate people that he saw as undesirable. That's just not how we operate.
So short kings are back. Short kings are back. And I'm a self hating short king at times because I do, I do fully acknowledge the fact that like if you're under 5 foot 9, you should not be in charge of a military. I think time and time again we've learned that lesson that a country should not be run by a 5 foot 3 man.
You shouldn't get to drive the car. You shouldn't get to be in a company. Planes. Planes.
That's for bosses six, six and above. So anyways, all you tall people out there think you're so great just because you have the genetic lottery. Just know that you're slowly strangling the earth. I don't think I'm great.
I just know that you're slowly strangling the earth. Taller man more. You're slowly destroying this planet that we love so much. All right, my hot seat.
I have two. The first one is Chris Simms. I don't know if you guys saw this, but Chris Simms is beefing with the SportsCenter Instagram account. So he got very, very upset.
Chris. Is that who runs it? Chris Simms had a take earlier this year that said there's just no way. Talking about.
Sorry. Talking about Jalen hurts. He said, there's just no way he's more valuable to his team than Mahomes, Burrow or Allen. Those teams are not the same teams.
They don't have them at quarterback. If you put Garden Minccu in the Eagles, they'd still be really damn good. Gaminsu obviously started twice, lost twice. So SportsCenter keeps posting it over and over and over.
And Chris Sims went on his podcast, he said, Fuck you, SportsCenter, Instagram, for putting it out there for a third time in three weeks. Like, fuck off. Like really fuck off. ESPN, SportsCenter.
Do they not make content over there anymore? I mean, damn. Stop jockeying me. Espn.
Holy shit. Give me a piece of your check. Invite me on SportsCenter and let's have a Fucking conversation. That might be a little bit of an overreaction.
Anytime you're getting into actual, like debate with a brand account, you're already losing. You're already losing at that point. Like, what are you expecting sports centers gonna write back to you? It's also just, you know, if you're in this business, you're gonna be wrong.
How you handle being is a pretty big testament to, like, who you are. Well, I actually think that Chris Simms is doing the right thing in the wrong way, which is turning this into content for himself and getting us to talk about Chris Sims beefing with a sports centered Instagram account. Well, no, but he's actually mad about it. He's actually very mad online about it, where he should just be pretending to be mad online and then using this to get us to talk about it.
Yes, yes. I also, I hand up if Chris Simms is looking for haters. I did. During Thursday night football, Jets Jaguars retweet a tweet where he said, Zach Wilson is.
I see Patrick Mahomes. I see Patrick Mahomes. A lot of Patrick. Sorry.
I see a lot of Patrick Mahomes in Zach Wilson. He's my number one quarterback this year. I did retweet that. Okay.
So if you're looking for who's trying to jock you, I hand up a Jotcha Christmas. Gotcha. It's fucking funny. Isn't he like hook.
If you get upset about old takes exposed, you shouldn't be in this business. Isn't Chris Sims also a top button guy? Yeah. At what point in life do you make the decision, I'm going to be the top button guy?
Because you can't, you can't just like transition to. It's not like the bow tie where you phase out of that. Yeah. If you're a top guy, I almost assume you have to be a top guy from, from the jump once you go on TV the first time.
And I like Chris Simms. I know personally, but Chris, we gotta, I gotta maybe reach out to be like, dude, you can't let the ESPN Instagram account win. Yeah, he should do like an informal version of his podcast where he takes the button down. Yeah.
I can also tell that this was brewing because he did text me a few months ago, a little upset about my, my affiliation with Tunon. So he and Florio do not like Tunan. And so they're like, who's Tunan? Try to get hard answer.
Did they come back at. Did they. Is he showing like a victory parade? Oh, yeah.
That's true. You can't. You can't actually carry stone on that. Yeah.

You had that, Billy. That was my hot seat. What are your thoughts then? He got bitch slapped.
Yeah. Is that. He got slapped? Yeah.
You can't. I can't believe you said this. I think the other part was probably the takeaway. Yeah.
If you missed the video, Dan White slapped his wife in public. Apologize. But also, I just think that if you slap your wife in public or private. Yeah, no, I'm saying if you stop your wife in public, it feels like you might be okay with slapping your wife all the time.
Yes. Yeah. That's not something they do. Like, you go to the club, it's like, oh, it's.
I just woke up. I was a white slap guy. You're surrounded by 100 people and you start hitting your wife. Yeah.
Alcohol. It's like a drunken word. Speaks sober thoughts. Thing where bad, bad, bad, bad.
You're doing that when you're really drunk. Yeah. Bad, bad, bad. Just tell him.
Very, very easy rule to live by. Just straight up, do not do it. That Sean Connery interview went viral a couple days ago when Barbara Walters died. And she was like, you said an interview at one point that it's okay to hit your wife.
And he's like, yeah, no, I sound about that. Yeah. And she's like. She's like, what?
That's something that you fully expect a guy like that to be like. No, actually, I was taking out of context, and it sounds really bad, but here's what I meant. He like, double down on it. Yeah.
No, it's true. It's very bad. Very bad. All right.
My cool throne is two lane football. Just want to give a shout out to two lane football. What a comeback against usc. Also an all time stinking Riley.
Like usc. This is. This is a bet he made. He's a very good coach.
Yeah. But his defense has never been good. And those things will happen. But I just.
They have. Tulane has like some of the best colors in the country. They haven't been good in forever. I love that logo too, in the mascot.
Oh, it's so good they left. I think it was like sometime in the 50s. They left the SEC for academics and it's been all downhill since in terms of football program. But they're back, what, 12 win season.
Maybe 11, 12. I think maybe 12 and two. It's the biggest turnaround. I think Willie Fritz.
Shout out Willie Fritz. And that was an awesome, fun game. I'm gonna miss bowl season very much. It really is my favorite time to watch it.
Also, anyone who had Illinois plus three and a half, my thoughts for you, but you really should have bet against the dead coach game. Yeah, that's on you at the end of the tlane game. I love seeing the fans just like freak out because it was never in your expectation. If you went to Tulane, they never find yourself in position like beating us in a bowl game.
And the look on their faces of like, holy shit, we did it. That's the best part about college football. And there's some people saying that Oklahoma fans bitching about Lincoln Ryland using this as an opportunity to take a leak on him because he lost his bowl game is immature and beneath the people of Oklahoma. I actually, I think this is exactly what you should be doing.
Yeah. That's what college. That's college football. If you're an Oklahoma Sooners fan, you should be the the most petty person on earth and celebrate every single one of Lincoln Riley's failures.
Facts. The other thing about that game, I don't remember ever having a safety mean more. They were down eight and they got a safety. I don't think I've ever seen that because usually safeties happen in weird score games or defensive battles or happen early.
Like I put a pin in that. Literally just two point conversion. They got the ball back and scored in one. Yeah.
What do you think about this, Mike Greenberg? D rule safety should be worth four because the safeties are so hard to get. I think safety points is like. It's like spitting in the face of the defense and they always stop the forward motion.
Yeah. So I Was gonna say that. I think a safety should count is four if it's a clean sack of the quarterback in the end zone. Okay.
And if they're holding in the end zone, it's two or three. Yeah, two. I think two. Like holding the end zone.
Two. When the running back tries to run and he gets stopped, that should be two. But a true old fashioned sack in the end zone, that doesn't really happen. It doesn't.
I would say, like if you stop a running back hold in the end zone, that's three. Yeah, that's in between. I like it. I like it, Billy.
