It is my birthday right now, but it's your birthday when people are listening to this. How does being 40 feel?
I feel wiser than all of you. I feel smarter. No, I've actually been dreading it. And now that it's happened, it's like just move on. I don't really like my birthday anymore. Birthdays kind of suck now. Just move on. Did you hit the finger in the butt yet? No, stroke of midnight.
Right. You have to do it. Should we do our kiss? Let's do our kiss. So this is if you're listening on the podcast, go subscribe on the YouTube. PFT and I are going to do our annual kiss between our birthdays. So you'll have to watch it. You can't listen to it. You can listen to it, but go watch it right now and also subscribe to YouTube. All right, here it goes. Three, two, one. Oh.
Oh, oh my God, poking me. You're most of the fickle. Spitting their day. And that was our kiss. Pretty good. I think that was our best one yet. I think that was our best one yet. Yeah. Podcast listeners, you just have to leave it to your imagination, I guess. Hank, how'd you feel about that? It's gross. Hank, it's two men who love each other very dearly.
sharing an intimate moment on their birthdays. What's your problem bro? Guys can't care about each other anymore. I don't like, I don't like how Hank is Hank and memes. I don't like their attitudes. Memes wants us to die. Hank just loves to comment about our age. Max, the only one who's got our back because I think Max is just still so hung over from the case where he didn't even know where he is right now. Yeah, he popped a blood vessel in his eye. Oh, that's always a good one. I spent pretty much all day yesterday puking, taking gummies puking. Yeah, it was a good day.
Yeah. So, yeah, but we are 40. You're listening to us as 40. We're going to move past it. We're going to be fine. I don't like Hank's attitude or face or look or anything. I think you can't exist. Once I'm 40, I'm going to get in good shape. Yeah. After the Super Bowl, I'm going to get in good shape. Spring, very much badness. Yeah. I'm going to be jacked up by the time I'm 41. Yeah. All right.
National sports podcast. So this is always the weird week because it's like we haven't fully transitioned off football Do the Saints finally have a head coach? Is it Kellen Moore Mike McCarthy sitting out a year? So he's just That what do you think the people at pro football focus? Said when they saw the alert that Mike McCarthy is sitting out a year and they're like holy shit He's gonna he's gonna re-up his
His subscription, yeah. He's going to live with him. Yeah. I think they're in Cincinnati, right? Yeah. Yeah. Mike McCrath is going to move to Cincinnati and just spend a year farting and watching film and looking at a computer screen while somebody tells them what the sell means. Yeah. And he's going to come back. He must have an idea of what jobs could open up next year. Yeah, I guess. But it also, could it be the end? No, he's taking a year off. He's taking a year off.
Yeah. So is it more though? Is it more going to be the Saints head coach? I think it might be Kellen Moore. Yeah, I think he's been doing a lot of he's been getting his staff together. He's been really focused on his interviews with the Saints. I think this bodes well for his chance of being hired. Are we worried Max? The Kellen Moore is thinking about the Saints and not the Eagles.
Uh, it is what it is. That's what happens in football. Sometimes if you're a good team, other teams are going to want your coordinators and I'm not going to cry about it. Okay. Okay. That was a really good answer. Yeah. I think you'd be a good coach for the Saints. Yeah. Yeah. I think he's a good football coach. He thinks that Jalen Hurts looks like he'll probably have his ninth offensive coordinator in eight years. That's a real like that. Let's talk about Jalen Hurts the same way we talk about Baker Bayfield. Yeah. He just keeps getting, maybe Jalen Hurts is just, he's the Rainmaker.
He keeps getting guys hired. He is too good. He is too good. And then memes, you are, you're just kitty about going to New Orleans. What's going on here? Memes left. It's Eagles Week. It's Eagle's Week. That's... New Orleans is a very happy place. Do you... Does it feel like Max, that memes is kind of stealing this from you? The Eagles Week thing? No, I would prefer it to be on him. Okay. Okay. So it's Eagles Week. No, it's all about Max.
but it's your own when you say it's eagles week are you saying that because you want more spotlight on max
No, no, I have a prediction that over the next week we're going to be very Eagles focused. Yeah, for the record, I would I would be Chiefs focused too if we can get good interviews with Chiefs players. Yeah, but the Chiefs don't really want to give us interviews. But we do have Nick Wright on today who's very good and he is a diehard Chiefs fan. So that we're trying Chiefs fans. I know that they think it's slanted against them. We're trying. It should be slanted against you.
Why? Because fuck them. Today, you get Chief's Day. Okay, you get Chief's Day and then Eagle's Week. Yes. In Eagle's Week. Okay. That's fair. How are you feeling in terms of your confidence level, Max? I, I'm just, I can't get too worked up and it's too early to get too worked up. It's too early to get too worked up. I like my answer. I like that. That's a good answer. Not worked up right now.
Correct. Okay. I'm calm, cool, collective. And we do have a big interview coming on Monday. So get excited for everyone. We're going to have a big Super Bowl week. Very a lot of big interviews. We got a lot of big interviews. Eagles week. Eagles week. Are you worried about one of the interviews and how much you love that person? Don't do this yet. Why? Why? A couple, but really the one on Wednesday feels like he's, you know,
I'll give a hint. He's the brother of a player who's in the game. This is what he's doing here. I'll give another instance. It could be Jackson Mahomes. Yeah, it could be. It could be Jackson Mahomes.
Everyone knows on the biggest jacks in my homes fan. Right. Yeah. Jacks. It's going to be a big week. All right. So national sports podcast. I have a couple headlines I wanted to reach you guys. And then we are going to give one early prop pick for the soup bowl. National sports podcast though. Did you see Adam Silver floats the idea of a 10 minute NBA quarter?
Winhorse fingers. That would be interesting that they make a 10 minute quarter right when LeBron retires and then no one can beat any of his records. That is interesting. Or it'd be interesting if they shorten the length of the quarters to help the older players in the league that are still around. Maybe a one year trial for the shorter quarters. What do you think, Hank? I think it would put your fingers up.
I think it would be bad for bench players. There would be less parity in league and there would just be, you know, all the, all the stars could play more minutes. Yeah. But you got a lot of stars. We do have a lot of stars. Yeah. But I think for league parity, it'd be bad. Unless they add, they're going to add two more teams, I think is my takeaway. Oh, where do you think they should go? Vegas.
And Seattle. You got to say Seattle. Seattle. Give Seattle a shout out. What? Why? I don't know. I used to have beef with Seattle. What? That's what I forget. They're calling them bad sports. I don't know people from Seattle. Don't don't. They don't forget. So you started the beef? Yeah, maybe. Does this go back to the Super Bowl?
No, it was on the shows. It was an off-handed comment that. Oh, yeah. It might have been during the Mariners. Yeah. MLB playoffs. Yeah, you just really fuck them. When they had that one game playoff and the game that lasted like 18 innings, maybe that's what it was, bad sports. Yeah, they got a home run mashed and then you were like bad sports town anyways, right when they're at their lowest. Yeah. Yeah, you just kicked them when they were down. Whatever. All right. So you you're against it. Yeah.
Yeah, that was the one big story, and then I had, let's see. I've got a couple other questions. Yeah, Whenby fed up with shoves and unfair lack of calls. Okay. Was another one. Whenby, you can't be upset this early. It's not like the French to complain. No, but you can't be upset this early. I also saw a stat, and this is- Let Pop do that. That's what Pop's job is, like, manipulate the media. Yeah, he works the rest. I saw a stat. I don't have the exact numbers, but it was wild. It was a screenshot of the Sixers game last night.
And it was, oh yeah, I saw that same stat, yeah. Yeah, it was like Joe Embiid Games played an NBA career, like 430 games missed 400. Oh, the one that I saw was how much money he's been paid to sit out. I think it was like 125 million or something. But the Sixers are almost in the playoffs now.
Which I'm rooting for them to get there because I want the polls to be in the in the lottery. They're there. I think they're virtually tied for the polls. You guys are tied. Yeah. Yes. That's huge. We are whatever. Yeah. That's huge. All right. Well, we are your other your stories. National sports podcast. Yes. National sports podcast. Cam Newton was asked the question whether he would rather win a Super Bowl or an MVP. You know what he said? MVP. He said MVP. Yeah. So embrace debate.
Embrace debate, if I was a MVP winner and not a Super Bowl winner, I would say the exact same thing. Yeah, I remember when we had Chris Carter on, I don't know, it was like six or seven years ago, and he said that he would rather be in the Hall of Fame than win a Super Bowl, and I thought that was crazy. But the more I thought about it, I was like, Hall of Fame, you could maybe say that, because you're immortalized forever, and there's only a handful of those guys that were the best, the best, best. MVP, I think, is where I draw the line where I'd rather have a Super Bowl. Yeah, probably. Now, two-time MVP.
Two time MVP, but then you might be Hall of Famer. That means great career. That could be Hall of Famer. Yeah. But I understand why Cam would say that. Yeah. I would say that too if I were him. But I did kind of evolve a little bit on the Chris Carter one where I was like, you know what? Hall of Fame is pretty insane. And you are, I don't know how many actual NFL Hall of Fame's a lot more exclusive to. Yeah. Like basketball Hall of Fame who cares. MLB Hall of Fame is definitely the most expensive. Yeah, baseball is like too much so.
Yeah, but think about how many players play in the NFL. I mean, there's 53 guys on a roster and what they led in like five a year. So being an NFL Hall of Famer, that is pretty fucking crazy. We didn't talk about the Ichiro thing when he was selected for the Hall of Fame, but it was not unanimous. Of course. And then every media member was like, we need the name of this person that did not put Ichiro on the Hall of Fame ballot. Yeah. And they should be thanking the guy in the media that didn't do that because it gave them a full day of things to talk about on their sports show.
of how could each road not be unanimous Hall of Famer. Okay. That guy actually did a great job. Yeah. Yeah. That guy, yeah. You need that out there every single time. Wasn't Jeter the same way? Yeah, I think Jeter was the same way. There's never been a unanimous.
Mariana Rivera. Maybe yes, I think that might be right. 378 members in the Pro Football Hall of Fame total. That's pretty crazy. It would be a good club to be in. Yeah. Plus you get the speech, you get the statue. You get the gold jacket. Yeah. Okay, what was your other national sports headline? National sports headline. Somebody in the UK has been arrested for cyber farting. Oh, I saw this.
So, uh, this, this woman took a camera on her phone, front facing camera, and then put it up to her ass and then farted into it and then sent that video to somebody. So it's not even farting in real life. It was cyber farting. Uh, the quote from the, the judgment said, Miss Evans passing wind her face smiling at the camera. The victim was a woman by the name of Deborah.
prayer tech. Okay. She said that the booty belches made her feel unsafe in her own home. It was purely malicious. She was she was smirking throughout and she found it hilarious, but the victim did not. So now Miss Evans, the farter has to go to 15 rehab sessions, 16 days of or 60 days of alcohol abstinence.
And she has a two year restraining order following her fart. Damn. So it has just has been served. I don't know. Wilcompton's in trouble. He's in big trouble. I actually sent him. Don't go to Britain. He tried to send me a fart for my birthday today and he couldn't muster one up. Not saying, I mean, listen, that's just sad because
Everyone always expected Will Compton would be able to get a fart out. So I just sent him one back What would you say the prison sentence would be for this one? I'll play it. I took a video of it There's nothing like farting in your phone. It's just always good time. All right. Give me my prison sentence
That wasn't too bad. Yeah. That's like 60 days. Maybe some probation. I think, yeah. Maybe some light community work. That reminds me, I wanted to do a spaces on Twitter, but it's just only for where it's just people farting the entire time. And you raise your hand if you think that you can fart. I think someone did that, right? No, it's my snap. I have a Snapchat group. Oh, yeah. That's called Only Farts. Yeah, yeah. And you share it with your friends. Yeah, it's just the only thing that goes on in that group chat is just videos of farting.
I just want to, I want to, uh, Twitter spaces that is nothing but 30 minutes of just people farting the entire time and laughing and you can laugh at the farts. Yeah, you have to be able to laugh at the farts. Um, okay. And do we have any other, uh, national sports podcast stories that we have to talk about?
Yeah. Uh, as first report on part of my take by our dear friend, Jerry O'Connell, Matt Stafford is coming back. Oh, he did the research. He got that by listening to Kelly's podcast. Listen, there were some people who were like, you guys were too hard on JOC. We love JOC. We just demand excellence at this program. Yeah. I mean, we wanted to hear him fight for a shot. And he did to his credit. He said, I'm not going to share managing duties. Yeah. We wanted that fire from him.
Right. That might have cost him the managing duties that ultimatum that he threw at us, but that's good that he did the research. He got that. Yeah, it was good to hear. It was good to hear him fight a little bit. Yeah. Also, shout out to AWLs. This kind of is mind-blowing, but Spotify released what was the exact thing? They did awards. They did awards. Spotify did awards, so they did like total downloads in the history of the shows. Or was that what it is?
inaugural podcaster milestone awards. Okay. So the first group of honorees are getting plaques. Okay. Three tiers based on total lifetime to date streams globally. Bronze is 100 million, Silver's 250, gold is 500. So there's 500 downloads, 250 downloads, 100 downloads. The 500 list was, sorry, I'm trying to find it exactly. I think it was Joe Rogan.
uh, 500 and crime junkie. Okay. So Joe Rogan got in, uh, crime junkie and then the silver podcast, which is 250 million plus cumulative streams to date are Dateline NBC, my favorite murder and part of my take. Oh my cat and PFT comment. That is pretty mind blowing that, uh, outside of just basically true crime and Joe Rogan, we're up there. So thank you to everyone who listened. So we get, we get a plaque.
We're getting a plaque. We're getting a plaque. So I think we're getting a plaque even though Spotify fired all their people hang Yeah, I mean listen They're making up for that. Yeah Also yesterday I'm sorry by the way like I don't I feel bad for the Spotify people that got fired But also this like I have to acknowledge the raft was bad
Also, this story is like, I mean, the fact that 250 million and we're the only sports podcast of the silver plaque, what do you got memes? You got your hand up. Didn't we hit a billion downloads a year ago? Maybe this is Spotify exclusive. Spotify. Yeah. No, so we got to be close to that 500. Pump us up Spotify. Yeah, give us a little, yeah, or bump us up AWOs. Get us that.
But it's still, it was like one of those moments where you take a step back, you're like, holy shit, like there's, it's basically true crime in us and Joe Rogan, that's insane and 250 million downloads. Can't wait for our plaque. It's pretty cool. Yeah, very cool. I can't wait to lose our plaque. Love you guys. We will lose it. Yeah, we're gonna lose it. Easily. There was another piece of news yesterday that I discovered by reading a press release. But apparently,
Me and Big Cat own a football team in Mexico now. Yeah. Yeah. So we teamed up with Mr. Kittle, Mr. Greg Olson, Mr. Ryan Kaleel. Who else? Blake Griffin. Blake Griffin, yeah. I think Christian McCaffrey.
It was very funny because so I had a zoom with Ryan Cleveland Blake Griffin. I think it was maybe two months ago and they had this idea. They're going to buy a team of American football team in Mexico. There's a league. I think our team actually is the Monterey Osos, which is bears. And so I talked to them. It was like, we're in. This sounds awesome. They did all the legwork. And then
About a week and a half ago, Ryan Khalil and Blake Griffin texted me, they're like, hey, what's your address? We want to send you some hats. And I just didn't read the second paragraph. And it was just we're close to finalizing the deal. Want to mention you and PFT in the press release, if that's cool. And I responded for the hats saying, here's our address. And that sounds great.
And then last night, PFT was like, hey, did we actually buy part of this team? And I was like, oh, fuck. I guess I didn't read the second part of the paragraph. So yeah, we did. That's pretty cool. Yeah. As as owners. Yeah. What can we say? Osos Vuelta? Yeah, we got to get to the glory hole. What's the glory hole in Spanish? I don't know. But Osos and Vuelta means bears are back. Bears are back. All right, let's see. They got a cool logo too. English to Spanish. You guys are also, you guys know owners.
No, we'd mean we know them. You know us. Yeah. So congrats to that. As an owner, I plan on hiring smart football people and then letting them do their job. Yeah. Aguhera de la Gloria. There we go. So we got to get to the Aguhera de la Gloria. That's all we need. Yeah. And those windows are not, they're not as big as you think they are. Yeah. Do you still have Swansea? Is that a thing? I think so.
I think so. But maybe I actually don't, I think actually they might have, I think they might have. Do you ever sign paperwork for the breakers? I don't think so. We, I think we might have. I don't think so. The breakers, I think we did. And then we have the water dogs. Nice little portfolio. Yeah. We're, we listen, we've won at least one championship. Yeah. So that, that's pretty cool. Um, yeah, we're, we're, we're owners. What's this?
I don't fucking know. Yeah what, e-game, e-sports, e-games, e-games, what I was gonna say as well. We'll do an e-sports team. e-sports team, a paintball team. Maybe, yeah. I'd like to get a paintball team. Like a higher Jake on that. Yeah. Gotcha. Gotcha.
But yeah, congrats to us. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. I don't know what we're going to be doing or how we're going to be running the team, but I do know that the standard is the standard. And Aguhera de la Gloria. It's coming. What's this Vuelta? What's this Vuelta?

Max, how are we feeling?
I feel good. I mean, I'm not, I'm not letting myself really worry until I get to New Orleans. Okay. New Orleans is going to be, you're going to see all the Super Bowl stuff around the city. There's going to be all the Eagles, Chiefs, you know, banners and that's what I'm really going to start.
getting nervous because I can't do two weeks of freak out. Yeah. You can't. You can't. But you might. No, I can't. OK. Do you have a prop that you like, Max? My prop. I think that the Vante Smiths do. Oh, I think he 50 plus yards. I feel good about the Vante Smith. OK. All right. Hank, do you have a prop? Yeah, I don't feel as excited. I'm really just
Bleh. What's wrong? It's gonna be bleh. What do you mean? These eagles and sheaths. I don't really like that. Future, dude. Your biggest future. I know. Biggest future of your life. Get up off the mat. But I know the eagles are gonna lose and it's like I'm gonna be rooting so hard against the Chiefs and then I'm gonna be mad at the eagles. So I feel like it's just gonna be, it's gonna suck. The prop that I will be betting that I'll be rooting for is Patrick Mahomes over one half interception. So Patrick Mahomes to throw an interception. What about just going to New Orleans? That doesn't get you jazzed up?
It does. I had a little bit of a scary situation last time I was in New Orleans, but a little bit freaked out if I'm being honest. Shaking out. Yeah. But even if the Chiefs are going to win, just think about how allers can be to laugh at Max.
Like that's true. We've done it. We need new. We need new. We need something new. No, I mean, this is super old though. Like this is, it would be one thing if we were laughing at him for like Villanova not making the tournament. Like that's like, oh, who cares? Like they didn't make the tournament. This is super old.
These are, these are for the Max haters. But for me, that's a thing. It's like it is, I am the, you know, the top of the mountain of Max haters and I have no one loves reveling in his misery more than me, but it comes at the cost of Tom Brady and his legacy and some things are bigger than Max being in misery.
I'm not saying don't, I'm not saying. Like I would rather the cheat, I'd rather the Eagles win. If I had it. Yes. It's the Eagles. But the Eagles can win this game and I'm saying that no matter what, if the Eagles end up losing this game, there's at least a prize at the end of it. It's him. But then you have to, it's the narratives. That's not to answer those questions forever. That's how I'm getting ready for the rules. And it's their tough questions to answer. Nightmare Scenario is the Chiefs win and Tom Brady screws up the call. Oh.
It's if the Chiefs win is that the conversations are tough. It's a they're tough arguments to make you really like I'm really gonna have to get in the lab and You're gonna do some reading. Yeah, the but I lose them. We're good. I'm not cashing out my future on the Eagles. I'm rooting for the Eagles. I'm rooting for Max But if they end up losing and I lose this money, I know that I got a nice consolation prize and just looking at him
Like, that's there. Yeah. And he's going to get back to the exact same level that he was the last time they lost. Oh, yeah. Like, right now he's trying to play cool. He's not doing a good job. No, but he's trying. Next week, we're going to be around the Eagles. He's going to see some of his heroes. It's going to be a week of him seeing other birds fans being like, we fucking got this, Max. We're going to interview Jason Kelsey. Yeah.
It could be Jackson Holmes. Yeah, it might be Jackson. It might be Jackson, either, either Jason Kelly or Markley. Yep. Yep. Jason Barkley. Sick ones, brother. Jackson Delente. So what's your prop, Hank?
Patrick Holmes over over here. All right. I'm looking for no dolinks. I don't see no dolinks listed just yet. I'm hopeful that they'll put it back up next week. But I am going to be taking over three and a half field goals. The gremlin bed. It's at plus one 25 right now. I like it. I think they get two great kickers. I like it. I'm going. I think this has got to be a huge Dallas gotter game. So I'm going Dallas got over 60 yards receiving plus one 19.
Hmm plus money. I think this is Dallas cotter game. He's got to eat He's also he leads the Eagles in receiving yards in the playoffs It feels like he's gonna get his five or six targets and he's had it I'm just thinking off the top of my head There's been at least two that I can think of where he broke for like 30 plus yards. So Dallas cotter recurring guest
Eat. I like it. You like that, Max? Love it. Love it. Who do you think Taylor Swift is rooting for in this game? Chiefs. But she's from Philly, right? Chiefs. What? From Philly adjacent? What did future guests Jason Kelsey say about who he's rooting for? Oh, he said it was kind of talking out of both sides of his mouth. He said, I'm going to root for my brother and I'm going to root for the Eagles. So if the Chiefs win, I'm going to be happy. If the Eagles win, I'm going to be happy.
It's a fair way to look at it. I mean, he's kind of in an impossible spot. Yeah, it sucks. Because he does have like best friends on the Eagles and then his brother, yeah. He was like, it's hard to root against family, but the people in Philly are my family too. So it's like, he was like, if you're, he was like, if you really wanted to ask me, it's going to be tough to say that I don't want the Eagles to win, but I'm always rooting for Travis. Right. Yeah. He should just bet all of Travis's props and then
and parlay it with the Eagles to win the Super Bowl. It's 1 million percent a fair answer to give, but also at the same time, you can be like, oh, he's not picking a side. Yeah. Travis asked him if he would wear the split team jersey, and he was like, I will not be wearing red. Yeah. Also, I'll just say this, and we'll ask him this when we interview him on Wednesday. Max will be there. Either, you know, or Jackson Mahoney. There's got to be the big brother, little brother thing.
If it's for one, that's pretty significant. Like you got to, I don't know how many more seasons Travis is going to play before one is now, he's got a, basically a whole hand for a sure one. Yeah, I mean, especially since one of those could have been just immediately transferred over to. Correct. Yeah, it could have. Yeah, right. Yeah.
Okay. I'm excited to get to New Orleans. I'm excited for a great soup bowl week. Me too. I put the final number. I think my goal is to eat 15 gumbos. I love that. 15 gumbos from the time I arrived to when I leave. We're leaving on Saturday morning. Yeah. So Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, six days, 15 gumbos. I love that for you. I think it can happen. I love that for you.
Max is staying till Monday, he's going to the game. We gotta make sure that you got it real. I wanna do, I think we gotta do a Sunday morning quick, like five minute zoom. We can just all zoom in of just the vibes time capsule for the AWL so they can see Max before going to the Super Bowl. I think that's gotta be, we gotta do that, right? Do you think I'll be hungover for that zoom? Oh, you'll be so hungover. You might not even wake up for it. Are you going to drink champagne?
I will. That's a promise. I will not be drinking. Oh, I thought you were going to say it's a promise. I'm drinking champagne. Oh, no, no, no. I will not be drinking champagne. Getting drunk before the game. I will not. I will not be promising sobriety that Saturday. No, you got to get hammered. Yeah, I mean, you're going to get fucked up.
I will not be promising sobriety that Saturday evening. Yeah, that's good. That's all I have to say. Yeah. Okay, let's get to our interviews. We got Jimmy Tachro. We got Nick Wright, and then we'll finish up with Firefest of the Week. Before we get to Jimmy Tachro, he's brought to you by our great friends over at Reese's.

Okay, we now welcome on our very, very, very good friend. He is in studio. He made the trip just for us. It is the legend, Jimmy Teatro. He's got a new movie out. You can stream it now on Amazon Prime. Is that correct? That is correct. Yeah, you're cordially invited. Go watch it. Support our guy. Yeah. I so will Ferrell produce this, right?
produced it, started it. So that had to have been like a pinch me moment where you've been doing all this, your career's been taking off. Some people are saying, you know, basically since you came on PMT like eight years ago, it's like everything's been uphill from there. Some people are saying that. But was it like, holy fuck, I'm doing a movie with Will Ferrell because this guy is for anyone in our age range, like he's the goat. Yeah, he's definitely my goat. And it was definitely
Like, yeah, the whole time I was there, you'd be just hanging out, kicking it, and then there'd be like that part of me that'd be creeping in, like, almost nudging myself like, dude, that's fucking real fair. Yeah, right. Shut up, Jimmy. Shut up. Be chill. Be chill right now. But he's like,
I don't know. They say don't meet your heroes. That guy is like everything I hoped he would be anymore. That's awesome. It's so cool, so funny. He's the best. Yeah. I have nothing but nice things to say about that. And did you ever find yourself, because I think if I ever got into a situation where I was around Will Ferrell or working with Will Ferrell, I'd probably overlap at all his jokes, but not in like a...
Like a sarcastic way, just be like, I think you're so funny. I'm just gonna laugh at every joke you've already made. Yeah. Because I love you so much. It is funny. I mean, he's actually funny, but it is funny like when you do a movie and there's like a big star on the movie, they can kind of say anything they want. Yeah. And like a lot of times people just...
Get it? It's Will Ferrell. Yeah. Yeah. But it's not like an amine, because like, you know, when someone overlaps to somebody, you're like, all right, dude, it wasn't that funny. You're mocking me. But like, for him, like, no, sir, I'm not mocking you. I'm literally just laughing because everything you've ever said is funny to me.
He, he like gave us like a little, him and Reese gave like a little speech before the, the premiere. And I, it seemed like he was just coming out to just like introduce the movie. Like, you know, they've done a few of those, but you could tell the whole crowd was like, just like, oh, what's he gonna say? Yeah. He's gonna say something funny. It's coming, it's coming. And he kind of like felt that and then was like, okay, I guess I'll be funny. And he started doing like a little bit and it ended up being really funny. But I was like, it's gotta be a lot of pressure to be.
Yeah. Yeah, but I mean to Big Cat's point it's like whenever I see Will Ferrell saying something serious I think like oh that was kind of funny the way he said that you know like even the serious stuff you misinterpret as a joke sometimes. Yeah you're like it you're like it can't be there's a bit coming. Yeah.
Yeah. It's coming. It's serious now, but there's going to be a punchline. I'm just waiting for it. Yeah, you probably also have to check your references around them. Make sure that everybody just says Will Ferrell quotes all the time. That's true. That escalated quickly. You can't really say that to Will Ferrell. Maybe you can. Maybe it's like, remember that time you said that escalated quickly. That was awesome. It's just escalated quickly right now. I got a question about making a movie. This is a dumb question, but when did you film this movie?
When or where? When. We filmed it in 2023 in like May. Okay, so yeah, this works. That's a long time between filming it and it coming out. Do you? Like I would forget everything I did. Is that a weird experience to have filmed the movie, have a year and a half of life go by and then be like, oh shit. Yeah, I did do this movie. It's coming out now. Yeah.
Because it's happened. There's been movies I've done that have like even more time has passed and I've like given up on them ever coming out and then they come out and you're like, oh, okay. And then you're watching it and you're like, oh, wow. I hadn't even seen the movie. Yeah. I watched it for the first time at the premiere because I like finally got around to watching the link and like my power went out and I was like, I think it's a sign. I think I just need to watch it at the premiere for the first time. Yeah.
But I like them. I like watching them for the first time with the audience. Yeah. Yeah. We can't divide. Yeah, because like when we do our job is very different than making movies, but like when we do something, it comes out right away. So it's like, you know what I mean? Like it's, it's instant. We take a podcast, we do a video. It's like, boom, it's out. So you remember everything you can like converse about it. If we, if we wait, like we do interviews sometimes where we won't release it for, you know,
two weeks and I will not remember anything we talked about. But you guys are also saying a lot more things. True. Yeah, it's accurate. It's just not a good thing. You guys get do you guys get post podcast anxiety where you sometimes finish and you go, what have I said?
There are sometimes, yeah, well, during the show, we'll say something. And then immediately afterwards, realize that we were 100% incorrect on it. And then you have to wait. It's like a 12-hour death sentence. Yeah. It's like, OK, this is going to come out. Everyone's going to be mad because I mixed up Zayflowers and Treyflowers name.
And so I just have to be prepared to see that like nonstop tomorrow morning. It is funny because I think we've been doing it long enough that I can pretty much tell you the minute we finish a show. If I'm like, you know, we some shows are just not the best shows. Some shows are like that we crushed it. I can tell you right away, like that was an awesome one. And like sometimes I'd be like, that was a good one.
you know, move the ball down the field. Yeah. Well, then anything special. Yeah. So I know right away, but yeah, PFT is right. When you, when you know, you fuck up a fact and you're like, I'm going to wake up tomorrow and all my tweets are going to be like, how could you say this? I'm like, just got to live with that. But then you, then you do it again, like what the next day? Yeah. Yeah, then we screw something else up. Yeah. And then people move on. Yeah. Yeah. Just keep moving it. I'm curious to know how young you think you could play in a movie. Like what's your Hollywood age range that you're writing? I think it's getting,
I'm getting further away from my 20s. But I think I could still, I think I could still play like 25. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Not a high schooler anymore. I don't think so. Medean Greece.
Yeah, those movies always make me laugh so hard. TV shows especially where there's somebody who's very clearly in their thirties and they're playing like a high school junior. But I also, I was watching a movie, it was called, I think it was called The Idol Maker. I don't know if you guys have seen this movie. But at one point in the movie, this guy says,
I'm only 27, and I'm like looking at this actor, and I'm like, there's no way you're 27. He's got like a receding hairline. He's like, in my head, 45. And I look him up, because I'm curious to see how old he was when he filmed the movie, and he was 27. And I was like, oh, people did look a little older back there. Yeah, cigarettes. Cigarettes and no sunscreen. I think that's a part of it. Those things definitely, everyone's smoking cigarettes and bars.
It'd be funny if they did like an American pile, like coming of age story for high schoolers and everybody was in their 40s. Like blatantly too old. Yeah. Where like all the high school kids were just middle age. I would watch that. Yeah, I would watch that for sure. So are you, um, see, you're, you're star, you're movie star. We've, we've been over this. Ever since ever since PMT eight years ago. That's a playlist. You went from YouTube to being a movie star. Went from YouTube to part of my take. Yeah. And then straight to the film. Yeah. And then it just, it actually,
Uh, what was that? What was that woman's name? Uh, Bobby Altov. Were there like, she's a plant? Yeah, Jimmy's actually a plant. He's a PMT plant. He's an industry plant. I was a PMT. The studio execs were like, let's plug this guy into PMT and see where it goes. And then it happened. They were like, holy shit. Holy fuck. Who is the next guy that they've planted?
Two dudes that didn't even know who Jimmy was interviewed him and man, it's going awesome All right, so but are we are we ready for like our first like super serious? Let's win an Oscar role
I think you should. I think there might be one that he's working on right now. Can I throw one? Oh, yeah. Well, I just watched, I just saw a complete unknown with Timothy Chalamet. Yes. Was awesome in it. What if we did the sublime story and you were Bradley?
Dude, they're actually working on that. Oh, really? Shit. And I actually was going to audition for it. But it said you have to know how to sing. And I was like, dude, I can't sing. Yeah. I have no faith in my singing. You would have had the SoCal thing down, though.
Yeah, I would have had the SoCal thing down, but it's he's a singer. Yeah. The guy is a singer. So they need somebody that can sing like, shall we go and play Brad Knoll to?
I think he's, Johnny will be playing everyone for now. It's anyone who can sing? Yeah. That would be perfect for you. And I'm glad that they're making that movie. Yeah. That's like, that's everything that I want out of a biopic. But yeah, playing somebody else. Have you ever done that? Have you ever like had to like go back and play somebody who existed and you learn all about him? Yeah, I played, I played this guy, Bert Kreischer.
I mean, I really had to dig deep, to get in touch with who he was back then. Yeah, that's the only biopic I've done. I think like, I've taken a bit of a stance against biopics. I'm somewhat anti-biopic. Really? Yeah. Why? I just think enough. Okay.
we've done them all and people are starting to get the rights to stories before they're even done happening. It's like something like news breaks. They're like the Luigi Mangione thing happening and then it's like someone gets the rights the next day. Like dude, this hasn't even finished happening yet. Like the story at least ends before you buy the rights to it and start casting someone
to play the person. Counterpoint, I don't read, and that's how I learn about things. It's bio things. Through somewhat fictional bio things. Yes, yes, so you're kind of, you're making me even dumber than I am, and I'm already pretty dumb. So I need, because I'll go see a biopic, I'll watch it, and I'll be like, oh, that was kind of cool, and then I'll read the guy's Wikipedia, and I'll be like, oh, cool.
And then I'll forget about it, but that was like, that's kind of how I learned now. So you think pretty much every notable thing that's happened follows, for some reason, like the same story structure. Yes, yes. Like they all kind of... It's weird there's always a love interest halfway through. Yeah, they always like get a girlfriend. Yeah. They all get into drugs. Yeah. Struggles, then they hit it. Yeah. And then they're a little too, they hit the fame a little too hard.
But then they give a good speech at the end and talk about how they turn their life around and then after that everything's great. It's pretty cool. I actually, when we were shooting this movie,
This was one of my first experiences with Reese. I... Witherspoon. Witherspoon. Have you heard of the restaurant LA like two years ago? It was at the number one restaurant in LA and it came out that the head chef had been murdering cats. What? Yeah, I remember that. What's the place called? Wild jacking off. Oh!
It's not the same guy who had just come out and say that he'd never jerked off on his cat, right? No, that guy didn't come anywhere near his cat. The cat wasn't in the room. Because that also happened.
No, this, so this was a real thing that happened, you know, and this story broke. What restaurant? It was called, I don't want to put them on blast, but it was called. Well, I mean, it sounds like if he's murdering cats, it was the New York tank put out the article, public knowledge, but it was called horses. Yeah. And it was like the restaurant was called horses. It was called horses. And then the chef accused her husband of killing their cat.
Yeah, like the divorce proceedings came out. Oh, and apparently the Heisman had been ruined cats. Okay. So like when this story broke, it was huge news. Everyone's phones are going off and I'm on set of the movie and I'm like seeing this and I get the text and I'm like, oh my God. And Meredith Haggner who plays my wife is like, what? And I tell her and she goes, oh my God.
right as Reese walks up. And Reese is like, what? And I'm like, oh, no, it's just, it's, it's, it's nothing. You know, I don't want to be the, I don't want to be the guy that's like telling her this. It's like my second interaction with her. You know, I don't want to have to tell her this story. Yeah. So I'm like, ah, it's just, you know, some crazy story. You know, I mean, it's like, tell her, Jenny. Like, okay, well, you know, the restaurant and horses. She's like, yeah, like, apparently the chef's been, he's been murdering cats. It's like, oh my God.
Like, I know, right? And I go to walk away and they're just like, no, Jimmy, tell her the rest. While, while jacking off. She's like, Oh my God. And I'm like, that's now my first impression. I'm the guy that I'm like, I'm like the cat jack off guy. Yeah. Yeah. You were looking at your phone looking for stories about masturbating. Yeah. And I'm like, this is not
How I wanted my first impression to go here. Yeah. My Google alert went off. It was a jack off cat story. I got it set up. But actually, I mean, I've always had alerts. It's thrilling to break news to people. I don't know if that's the news you want to break to someone, but it is thrilling to break news. It is. I just didn't want to be the guy breaking that news because then I was like, there's an immediate association now with me and their stories. Yeah.
Yes, he looks at you and she thinks of cats being come on Yeah In my head that's what was about to happen. Yeah Netflix has the rights to the story So it's gonna be into a movie that's that's really what it is anytime something happens You see people immediately just say like oh, I can't wait for the neck the Netflix documentary about this I said this on set and then one of the producers was like I hear her like almost say to yourself
I wonder who is the right. I was like, are you serious? It just can't, this happened to death. Yeah. Oh, you should, when they do the Hawk to a story, maybe you can pookey. Yeah. Or just a pookey documentary. Yeah. There's a lot out there.
gotta meet on that. Are they? Are they? Are they? Is she still going? Is she still on her run? I don't think so. She did the whole meme coin thing, kind of. The rug pulled. Did you invest in that? And I lost it all, man. Yeah. Someone had a incredible tweet that basically was like, uh, had you ever go on the show, Ellen? Ellen DeGeneres, did you ever go on her talk show?
No, but I know the tweet you're talking about. Yeah, someone was essentially like, it's very clear now that Ellen DeGeneres was the apex predator in Hollywood. And she would take like, if she was still doing her show, she'd have Hock Toa on for 10 minutes and like chew her up for all the content, spit her out, and we'd never hear from her again. And now without Ellen, we just have these people running around. She did it to damn Daniel, remember? It's like Yellowstone. It's like Yellowstone. We need the wolves. The wolves need to be there.
Ellen was the wolf, and now we have all these people who get a little bit of fame, and they just become, they're selling meme coins and stuff. And Ellen is- Daniel fucking Alex from Target, I just saw a photo that was like, Alex from Target turned 27 tech. Yeah, right. Was it from American Sniper? There's wolves, there's sheep dogs, and there's sheep. Yeah. Right, I guess Ellen, she was the sheep dog. Yeah. So she's protecting the sheep, us.
from the wolves out there. Yeah, right. Like damn damn you. She just takes some spits amount. And now we got Costco guys who are gonna be, I mean, I love the Costco guys, but they're gonna be around forever. You should probably, maybe that's the youngest you can play. Maybe you can play big justice. Are you really with the Costco guys? No, wait, I thought you said, I'm so jealous of you.
Boom. Oh, they're the, I know they were the Costco. Why are they the Costco? That's where they started. They just started doing videos in Costco. That's like the Risler, right? Yeah, yeah. And his older brother and dad. They're not related. I'm happy that you don't know this fully because it's always, whenever I have to explain this to someone, I feel so much shame. Yeah. Like, yeah, so they're these guys and they do these videos and they just say, boom. And they're like, what? Why is that funny? I'm like, you wouldn't get it, man.
And they're the ones that have, they have the podcast room next door, right? Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. We're trying to hire Risler. Yeah. He'd be a perfect well-copter. He is like, remember Lilterio? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He played it, I think college football somewhere. Yeah. There's like these guys are getting older and it's shocking to see them not just staying the same age. Yeah. Like Lilterio, he was like 12 and he was like smoking blondes with rappers and stuff. Yeah.
And everyone was like, man, it's so funny. He was like almost like Hasbula. Yeah. But he was actually 12. Yeah. So it was certainly not okay. I think the Rizzlers just an American response to Hasbula. I think that we saw what they were doing and we were like, we have to develop our own. Right. And then we get the Rizzlers. Aren't you happy that you've gotten into movies and like this? Because like there was probably a career path for you when you were like starting out on YouTube that you would have, right now you'd be like, I have to do a collab with Big Justice and the Rizzler.
That would be tough. To keep the money coming in. And also like getting a no. Yeah. So he's a bit busy. And you're like bummed. You hate to admit it, but you're kind of bummed. Yeah. I was really banking on doing this collab with the Risler. Yeah. And he's 12 and he's just big legged me. The Risler is probably too late to go to a Diddy party, right? Yes. Where were the Diddy parties like?
Oh man. No dude, I actually... Well said. I was... I'm not gonna say I was offended, but it just seems like a lot of people...
God invite it. God invite it. Yeah. Do you think anybody's lied about going to a Diddy party right now just for the clout? Oh, yeah. He heads up. Yes, I was there a couple of times, but I always left before midnight. That's it. So anyone that's saying I was there after midnight, that's a lie. Do you think it just weren't there at all? Do you think the reverse is it? Yeah, the reverse. Yeah. People like five years ago were like, yeah, I've been to a bunch of Diddy parties and now they have to retroactively be like, I was lying about that. Oh, yeah. Like I wasn't, I actually wasn't there.
I was just trying to be cool because you were like, hey, haven't you? You went, right? You used to go all the time, right? I was lying. Yeah. I lied. He used to like cancel a date. Sorry. Did he invite me? I got to go. Yeah. And then you end up marrying a check later.
Yeah, this guy I was seeing used to go to a lot of ditty pridesmaids reading the texts after like their first date That they they got sent when you knew she was the one now He couldn't make it to the second one because he was at a ditty party That doesn't look so good. That's not as romantic as I thought right now
So I think because we played we had you on right before beer Olympics. Yeah, we played Disc Golf in Grit Week. Yeah, I don't know if we talked about it on the podcast yet, but real bros was great. Thank you.
You literally had a storyline about podcasters and you told us we were going to be in it and then it just popped up and it was not just one podcasters, multiple podcasters and it was, it seemed like we could have just done a clip from this studio and just sent it to you. Yeah. And then like here, this is a five second cameo that you can use.
You know, I said before, I'll say it again, there's no excuses. You know, I fucked up. I fucked up. Well, in reality, I think me and Big Cat would have just, like, the opportunity to say no. Yeah.
Because we're very lazy. We never got the opportunity to say, yeah. If you had said, hey, we got a spot for you. We wrote it in. All you have to do flat to LA for two days, shoot your shots, go back. Then we would be like, ah, that's a lot. That's a, that's a lot of travel. That was where my head was at. It was a 10 day shoot. So it was, you know, we had to move fast and, uh,
Yeah, but like I said, you know, in hindsight, I fucked up. Yeah, I appreciate that. But I did want to ask, you mentioned Hezbollah, and I was curious, what happened to that guy? Is he still going strong? I think he is. He used to grace my feet all the time. Yeah. He was really active, and I haven't seen him in months, maybe a year. Yeah, I'd be like punching some random celebrity all the time. Yeah. That was like his job. He'd be slapping someone, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I do think that the Risler just took over.
I think the Rizzler might be CIA. I also think it was bad when Mike Tyson met the Rizzler and thought he was an actual baby. Yeah, and like picked him up. I would like to see proof of life for Hezbollah though. Yeah, it would be nice. Yeah. Do you think he hates the Rizzler? Do you think there's beef? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. It has to be. It has to be. I mean, the Rizzlers, he's a star. You'll be playing the Rizzler at some point.
Uh, should we talk about, uh, the bronze James completely hijacking your organization? We can talk about it. Yeah. I'm open to discussing it. How, how dynamic of an athlete do you think Bronnie will be? I was alarmed to find out he was only six foot one. Yeah. I mean, I was a while ago now, but I guess in my head, he was like six, seven. Yeah. Yeah. And then when they said he was six one, I was like, I just changed my whole
perception of his size, his athleticism, all of it. Yeah. And six ones not, like that's short in the NBA. That's small. Yeah. He doesn't look small though. And he's like, the way he's dunking, he doesn't look six one. Well, he was listed at what, six four in college? Yeah, I think so. I think so. And then they measured him at the top. That's a tough three inches. Yeah. Is that a shoes off six one? I think so. I think that's how they measure. Yeah. But like, why do they measure it? They're wearing shoes on the court.
I guess so that everybody, so that some people, occasionally, I will wear my shoes that are my tall shoes. What are your tall shoes? I'm not wearing them right now. But my tall shoes, they're... Are they hocus? Because hocus have a lot of... They're Nike 720s and they're honestly about two inches in the heel that I can pick up on a good day. So I know when I'm wearing my tall shoes. Yeah. If we have a tall guest coming in where they're like six foot seven, I will put on my tall shoes and still get roasted in the picture afterwards.
And then what do you jump up to with your tall shoes on? I jump up to probably 510. Yeah. I think that's probably why because you could wear your tall shoes at the combine when you measure in. Yeah. But like you can't really wear tall basketball shoes. I don't know. I guess my argument is you're not on the court barefoot.
Yeah. I do think that there's a case to be made that LeBron James is a great dad. He's a fantastic dad for getting his son drafted. Yeah. Like who wouldn't want that? No, I think if you can do it, you do it. Yeah. If you have a chance to play with your kid, you play with your kid. Yeah. It's an absolute no brainer situation for LeBron. Mm-hmm.
But this little iteration of the Lakers does feel like it's just basically the bronze doing like a legacy couple years here where he's like, I'm just going to do which again, I would probably do the same thing where it's like, Hey, I've done everything. I've played in the NBA for 20 plus years.
I'm just going to do whatever I want, hire whoever I want, have fun. But it's got to be a little frustrating watching the Lakers being like, hey, can we try to win games? Yeah. It is. I mean, I, the second we drafted in, I knew I was like, damn it, we've just signed up for like a novelty situation. Yeah, right. Which I'm happy for them. But like, they got the photos, you know, they got the photos already. Yeah.
of him, you know, that on the court doing the dad son hug, some passes. I think maybe they just are waiting to get like an oop.
Yeah. And then once they get the oop, then it's like, okay, we can move on. That'd be funny if you got cut the next day. I thought it would have been perfect if they got him on the court that first night and he took a three, I think that was his first shot. If he just drains a three and then checks out and everyone like standing round of applause and you never hear from him again. And then you never know what he could have done. Yeah, because then the legend would grow. They'd be like, he might have been better than
Yeah, right. And he'd also be like LeBron James played the most amount of minutes in NBA history. And Brony James Jr. played the least amount of minutes, played 30 seconds. It would have been so good. That would have been cool. Are we at the point where we can say the once proud Laker franchise? When we talk about the Brony situation? No, that's that's absurd. We're talking about a dynasty here.
of what? I guess of a franchise of family. Okay. But right now, do you have to wait? Like, once proud, no, no, no, it's an always proud situation. Always proud. But the once proud franchise has now turned itself over completely to LeBron James. It's not once proud. Like once proud would be like, um,
Like the Patriots. Okay. You know, the Patriots were once proud. Now they are not so proud.
But the Patriots won a Super Bowl. When was the last time they won the Super Bowl? I mean, Lakers haven't won a title since Kobe. He's going to count 2020. Yeah, he is going to try to count 2020. I'm going to count 2020. Well, we don't count 2020. Yeah, but you have to count 2020. Oh, you don't. We literally don't. So I mean, I think 2020 is you pick all the fans out. It's going to do the hardest thing. It's the only practice box that you're doing. Yeah. No, it's a fucking basketball camp in Orlando.
We're the old guy who didn't have to travel or play any way. The home court advantage. It's just them in there. If anything, it should count more. This is sounding like he's not proud. If anything, 2020 counts the most. This is the correct answer though. If you're defending the Lakers, you have to go all the way in the other direction. Absolutely.
Listen, you take out all the distractions and you just boil that game down to who's truly the best. Everyone plays on the same court. Everyone plays the same court. No traveling for the guy who's in his late 30s. No traveling, you know. Puffer on those young guys. They haven't traveled as long. Yeah. So if anything, they had the advantage.
They enjoyed it more. They don't have families. He had to deal with missing his family. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The older guys have to deal with that. Yeah, that's true. If anything, that was just a testament. Are you at the level where you can get courtside Lakers tickets? Do they give them to you?
Um, no, I've been courtside. I have a buddy who has some courtside. Okay. How does that work? Do they give? I would assume half of the celebrity. I think a lot of a lot of agencies have have a courtside ticket. So like really, I mean, like they usually give them to like, like you'll see like Rihanna. I think, you know,
You're on the same level. She has no ball. Me. Yeah. Really? Listen, we're the number one Jimmy Tatro podcast because we need you to be an A-lister so we can be like. Right. Our A-list friend, Jimmy Tatro. Yeah. I, no, I was actually supposed to be, I was under the impression I had courtside ticket to the Knicks last night. Oh. My manager was like, hey, got us courtside tickets. And then we ended up being in like the third row. Oh no. Which, you know, I didn't want to, I didn't want to be like complaining. Were you on the Jumbotron?
I did go in the Jumbo Tron from the third row. Fuck. Yeah. And everyone was like, what was the kiss cam or something? Yeah. That's tough. How do you deal with that? Like you at that point, you would almost not want to be on the Jumbo Tron. Yeah. They're like, Hey, can we show you? I was like, you're still showing me? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Could you hear Spike Lee?
He was pretty close. I couldn't hear him, but he was like, I mean, I don't think he was very vocal last night. I think I would have heard him, but he was, he was like 10, 15 feet away. Yeah. I respect Spike Lee because after all these years, like he's still at Nick's games. Just that's the thing. I think he probably cares about the Knicks more than anything else in his life. Yeah. Like that's a guy that cares about basketball. I mean, how if you look at the amount of Knicks games he's been to compared to, I mean, what's his last movie? Was it Black Clansman?
I believe so. I don't know. I don't know if there's another one. Oh, the water will go. Another joint sucks, though. How come he gets to say a Spike Lee joint? Nobody else gets to say joint. Yeah, why don't you get a Jimmy Tachro joint? I guess you could say joint. I don't know what that means. Like credit wise, if you put joint up there, like if it like fucks something up in the paperwork and maybe he just doesn't care. Like maybe he's getting like a joint by credit instead of like a created or written. Yeah. He doesn't have any writing credits, just jointed by.
It's so funny because he also, when you talk to somebody about Spike Lee films, like I was talking to my mom when Black Klansman came out and she said, I'm gonna go see the Spike Lee joint at the theaters. My mom said that. My mom's like 80. Yeah, it's a Spike Lee joint.
I love that. Yeah, it is pretty cool how you can brand yourself that way. Yeah, he's cornered the markets of joints. So uh, it's a tatro-bong. Yeah, I got it. I did it. I did it. What? Bong. Yeah. Bong? Bong is better than a joint. I thought you said bomb. Oh, that works too. A tatro-bong. I mean, it should be a cool thing. Like a bomb?
should be a good thing, I feel like, in movies. Like it bomb, like it fucking, boom. Yeah, but no, it's not. It's bad. It's bad, it's bad. Maybe I could rebrand bomb a Jimi-Tatro bomb. I like it. Yeah, you could, you could try. Like a try. Yeah, let's support it. Is real bros done? I think so. I love it so much.
for now at least. I mean, I... So you're not saying maybe it still has something? Yeah, not. We gave it the ending we wanted to give it. We had Tony Hawk play adult Hawk. Hawk's older than me. Hawk dies of old AIDS. Spoiler alert if you haven't seen it. But like, I really saw Hawk dying and it's being like... That's it. The ending. Maybe there's...
You know, a spin-off somewhere down the road. I don't know, but it's not what I'm thinking about. Focus on new things. I just love it so much. Everyone should go watch it, watch the seasons as well. Yeah, that makes sense, though. But it was a good move. And you put, obviously, a lot of time, a lot of thought, your heart into writing this series. And now, you're doing a lot of acting. Are you still carving out time to work on writing?
Yeah, so I am working on another show right now that it is. I don't want to jinx anything. So I don't want to say anything that hasn't happened, but it's set in the snow. Okay.
Mmm, and there's a wood shipper and they're dogs and one guy. Oh One guy's a dog car salesman there. That's not where my head was at, but they're there could be dogs. They have boners. Is it animated? It's not animated. It's not animated set in the snow
What's this French avalanche movie? It fucking sucked. Don't do that. The Alpenist? Yeah, that shit sucked. Yeah, I heard the ending is no good. I don't even know if it was that. No. The Alpenist? That was the mountain climbing movie? No, it was like literally a French movie where they were all at a resort and then there was an avalanche and the husband didn't immediately save the kids and wife and then it was just boring. It was in French? Yeah, I think so. I think that was probably the issue for me.
Who was the main French guy? I don't know. I'll look it up. Don't do that movie is what I'm saying. You don't strike me as the kind of guy that'd be watching French films. I got tricked into it. I started it and I think the avalanche happens really quickly. So you get hooked and then you're like, wait, is this subtitles the whole time? They're just kind of fucking... I'm a subtitles guy all the time. I'm a big subtitles guy.
Do you know what? Actually, can you do this for me? Because I did go to the movies last week. Can you talk to someone in Hollywood? There needs to be an option. Like they have an IMAX option. They need a subtitles option. I completely agree with this. Yeah. I was actually thinking it'd be cool if there was like, because I get subtitles when I go to the movies, because I can't hear very well. Yeah. But like when you buy a subtitle device, I mean, you don't, you don't, wait. But when you get a set, you can go to any theater and say, can I get subtitles for the movie?
Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, but you do that. Well, you don't want to do it because what they hand you is this three foot long metal stick where you stick the end in the cup holder and then you like crank the subtitle into position in front of you. On a screen. So there's like a little screen that you get that has kind of a shield around it.
So the people like to the to your right and above you can't like there's no light. I didn't even know this. So you you angle it. So it's right under the screen and then you kind of have to like because it's so close, refocus, you know, to do that. And it is like loud. Like if you want to move it, it's like. And you're walking around, you know, getting popcorn, holding this massive
whole. I'm like, I just want to understand the movie. Yeah. And you got me walking around this theater looking like a fucking idiot. Yeah, I had no idea that these exist. Yeah. Do they like check some sort of card from me or anyone can get it?
Yeah, I bring my hearing test, you slide it across, and they say, yep, definitely. Which you get that every time? I do, but a lot of times, like IMAX, they don't do it for like 70, 75 millimeter IMAX.
So they need to have it be a theater where it's just subtitles. Yeah, they do need that because I'll go to, like I went to, I forget, I saw one recently and it was 70 millimeter IMAX and I was like, hey, could I get the subtitles? And they go, oh, no, this is 70 millimeter IMAX. And I was like, yeah, no, I'm aware. Yeah. And they're like, yeah, that would ruin the viewing experience. And I was like,
But I can't hear. What if I can't hear the wealth? How about my viewings? Yeah. By the way, the movie was called force majeure. Sucked. Don't watch it. Force majeure. Force majeure.
But I didn't, I didn't used to do that, but my brother, he has a worst hearing loss than me. Volleyball player. Volleyball. Death Volleyball. Death Volleyball. Shout out Olympics. It's going to the Olympics. Tokyo and November. Is that the Olympics? That's the Deaf Olympics. He was in the Deaf World Championships last time I talked to you guys. Yeah. So the Deaf Olympics, this upcoming November, this upcoming November, Tokyo. What are the expectations? I'm going, baby. Are they, are they the top seed?
They are not the top seed, no. Turkey, I think, is the top seed. They're good. Do they really, like, are there any cut times controversies? Well, I... But what did it even help? The Turkish team, well, because you can't communicate. Got it. So, like, there's a lot of communication available. You have to take your hearing aids out. You can't talk to each other. You can only sign.
But I would, I was like, you know, seeing these Turkish guys and I'm like, I'd like to see some hearing tests. Yeah. I don't think that guy's death. You should bring like a bowl. Yeah. Yeah. Hey. I don't know if I told you this last time, but there was one time.
where they would keep playing the whistle would blow. But they can't hear the whistle. So they just keep going and going and just stop. Please stop. Turn on a giant red light in the stadium. How does the deaf track meet go? The gun goes off and everyone's just
We gotta win. Can we bet? We gotta figure our way to bet on this. Yeah, you can definitely bet on this. I want you guys to win. Is this indoor volleyball or is this beach volleyball? Indoor. Yeah. So we're expecting gold. We would like gold. Yeah, I'm expecting gold. We're expecting gold, we are. I'm expecting gold. But he was the one that introduced me to this whole, I didn't even know, like, go to theaters and do that. Yeah. So now I do, but I'm embarrassed about it.
Yeah, they need to make it so it's shame free shame free give anybody and I guess everybody does have the option but Put it. Yeah, make it make it well known to everyone. We're gonna do this It's gonna have subtitles and also when you ask the people they all have them, but everyone's responses. Oh
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And like, did you have to react like that? Like no one has ever asked for this before. Dust them off. Yeah. They're called their manager. Yeah. Yeah. If I was, you know,
a little more anal about things. I'd cause a ruckus about this. You should absolutely cause ruckus. I like watching, I watch Squid Games, but I do it with not the subtitles. I do it just with the overdubs, which I guess is bad for the actor, right? Because you lose out on all the actual inflection and the acting of it, but also I'm very lazy. And sometimes I'd rather just hear than have to read.
Well, also with the with the dub, you lose other sounds too, you know? Yeah. Because think about it like if they're on set or like if they're recording our dialogue and you know, you're hearing, you know, I sit down, you hear the couch as I'm talking, you know, and that's in the same sound clip. When you dub it, you lose other sounds. Yeah. So then they got to like manufacture it like little things.
They don't like put a chair in the recording studio and have you sit down as you're talking. I don't think so. Have you ever done any dub work? I did. I dubbed a animated movie from Japanese to English called Airbound. And I played a mouse named Matthew.
Oh, that's a big role. It was huge. But it's funny because they give you the script and it's the same sentence somewhat, but they write it in a way where it kind of looks like what's being said. So you're trying to match to what already exists, whereas when you do it the other way around, you record all the audio and then they animate to your voice. Yeah.
So it's harder to dub. So you have to get notes about what the other voice actor, where the inflection was, how it was said, and then you try to mimic that the best that you can. Pretty much. You see it, and then you see the line, and you try to match it as well as you can. It's not going to be perfect, but you just try to match it as well as you can. I also learned on that thing that when it's a kid's show, everything goes up. I got to be like, here we go.
Here we go. They're like, no. Here we go. Oh, yeah. Everything has to be exciting. I know. Watching shows my kids they all have the same tone. It shows up. Yeah. And it drives me nuts. It's not how I say things, but that's like what the, I don't know. Kids just. Here we go. Yeah. Yeah, because in a kids movie, like every two seconds, you have to actively keep the kids' attention. Yeah. Right. What is the kids watching? Right now, big in the minions.
Which is I love me. That's awesome cuz minions are hilarious. Yeah, they're hilarious Moana, too. I'm watching that a couple times But then it's like it will mix in the like there's this like miss and it's not miss Rachel There's miss Rachel, but there's like a miss Katie or something. They just sing songs and I want to just put a bullet in my head What about Blippi?
Blippi they watch, which I know the backstory of Blippi, and I don't know if I'll ever tell my kids that, but... Is it dark? No, it's not dark. Biopic coming? Blippi made probably the funniest video I can ever... I think the funniest internet video if I had to pick one all time Blippi created it, but then has gotten scrubbed from the internet.
So it was what was the Harlem Shake? Remember the Harlem Shake fat? There was a Harlem Shake. It was two guys doing the Harlem Shake and the beat drops, and they're in the bathroom. And then when the beat drops, I can't remember if it was Blippi or his friend, but whatever it is, one of the guys was then taking a shit across the bathroom into the other guy's asshole. And I've never laughed harder.
Projectile diarrhea. You can't find the video anymore. It was one of the funniest videos I've ever watched in my entire life. And that's Blippi. Yeah, that's Blippi. That's what my kids watch. That's Blippi. Yeah. Yeah. Was the Harlem Shake 10 years ago? It was nine, I think, right? Because we did one of our first videos that Big Cat and I ever did. We were at the Niagara Falls Museum, right? Yeah. And dressed up as a couple Canadian guys in 2016. That was a mannequin challenge.
Oh, that's amazing. Yeah. Is it just a room with a window where you can look at Niagara Falls and that's the museum. They have dioramas in there of like this happened near Niagara Falls at some point in history.
They have the picture. Pretty much the coolest thing that Niagara Falls ever had was, I think outside of Harry Houdini was the time when they stopped it for like a while. What do you mean they stopped it? They shut it down in Niagara Falls. They damned it. They found a couple bodies. They like had to do an ecological study or whatever you call it. I've never understood damming things. I had to stop the water. How do you first stop the water in order to build the thing that stops the water? Dams freak me out.
Oh, that's a good question. I don't really know. I have the same question about cranes, about giant cranes when you see a huge one that's taller than any building in the city. How do they build that crane? Was there another crane, a bigger crane that came in? Tunnels. But yeah, tunnels blow my mind under water. Dams do freak me out. Just underwater engineering in general. No idea how it gets done. Find the picture. Some questions are better left unanswered. It wasn't listening. Niagara Falls, when they stopped it. That's a good Google search. Niagara Falls, when they stopped it.
There it is. Click the picture. Stop. 1969. Look at that. They just stopped that shit.
Isn't that crazy? If you told me that was like a little, like a really little... Yeah, it doesn't look as good. Yeah. It doesn't look as impressive, but yeah, they just stopped it. I think there's like four of them and they stopped three out of four of them. Pretty crazy, huh? We used to go over diagraphals and barrels all the time. We as a species. Yeah. And there hasn't been a barrel guy for a while. Pussification of America. Yeah. There's a lot of jump guys that jump off of
I watched those videos. My feet has been taken over by these guys. They do like 10 backflips and then just land in water. Yeah. Oh, those guys, I thought you were talking about the skyscraper guys like in Russia, but yeah, the guys are doing the jumps and they always do the thing where they get their hands and feet together at the end. Yeah.
They throw a rock to break the tension, and then there's some dude in Norway who's jumping like 180 feet. With the hammers? Yeah. Have you seen that guy? It's crazy. With the two axes. I watch it every time. Like, why the axes? It's cool. So this guy takes two axes, and he just jumps off cliffs. Jumps off a cliff. And like...
Axes the water when he lands. Yeah, that's pretty fucking bad. It is bad ass. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, I yeah, the the the feed like seeing all these guys That it's just so funny to think about like 20 years ago like were these people doing this thing or was it because social media now exists that everyone's got their thing?
And they keep pushing the, uh, the record, like the world record death died. Oh, yeah. We're going to watch them die. Yeah. Someone, the winner will die. Yeah. And I will watch it. It will, I'll see it on my Instagram feed and be like sensitive content. Are you seeing a lot of death videos? Cause I'm seeing a lot of, I wish I was seeing less death.
I saw a lot of death like four months ago. Yeah. I feel like that's when it was always like the next video you'd be watching on X and then the autoplayed next video would be like somebody getting shot in El Salvador. Yeah. And it was like there's just, there's too much death going on social media right now. I don't know if I changed something or if they changed something, but I feel like I haven't seen as much reason. Yeah, there was a stretch where I'm pretty sure I saw every single person die in the Ukraine war. Yeah. Like I just saw every single soldier that died, I just saw him.
I would see, it would seem like an unsuspecting video. It would be like the definition of fuck around and find out. And I'd be like, oh, of course it would be a little fight or something. And it'd be like, you know, an argument and then someone pulls out a gun and like kills someone. And I'd be like,
It's 9 a.m. Yeah, or it would be like a drone footage of like a barren wasteland. You're like, oh, this is interesting. What the hell is this place? And then it just like goes down and it's 10 feet above like some soldier just begging for his life. And then they kill him and it's like, oh, okay. I guess I watched that. I deleted X. What? The everything out? It'll happen to X. Why? It was just depressing me. Everything I was seeing on there was just like,
I'm jealous. It was just bad. I didn't like anything I was seeing and I was like, I'll go on here. I see depressing information and just terrible opinions and I get mad. Wait, so are you, is your relationship with the internet now? Like you don't get any feedback? Cause that's incredible.
No, I mean, I still like, I'm still on like Instagram. Right, but are you getting feedback there? Like are you looking at the comments section? Like are you getting, are you just living your life essentially, which sounds incredible? I think so. That's awesome.
But like feedback in one sense like you read the comments obviously on your Instagram posts. Yeah, I don't read all of them. But I, you know, see the peruse. See them. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But like it's not like it's not like when I was like posting YouTube videos where I would like read all the comments when I would like post like every week for, you know, I you guys are posting things consistently. So there's like a feedback dynamic.
Yeah. Yeah. I guess what big cat means is just like reading all the comments. Like you post anything and then people have an opportunity to tell you what you screwed up and then you focus on those people and then you get bummed. You don't do that. You don't live that lifestyle. Not anymore now. That's pretty good. I do like the idea of you because you don't have Twitter anymore. Like if you don't post a lot on Instagram, like maybe you go like six months and then someone finally gets their take off about like real bros. They've just been waiting for you to post something so they can comment under it.
Bring something up from two years. Yeah. Oh, there you are. Yeah. Oh, finally. Yeah, finally. Why did you choose this plot point? I got them. The color was all off in this scene. Yeah. I mean, I can give you just a roundup of what you missed from the last time that you posted on X. OK. What was the last time I posted how long ago? This will forever be the best prank of all time. And it's a got a bunch of guys moving a storage unit and porta-potties. That prank is incredible. Have you seen that prank?
I'm watching it right now for the first time. It looks pretty good. Looks like a great prank. So you posted that on September 18th, 2024. The first reply is dollar sign XRP. You want to make $1,000 right now? Just did. And then nothing else. You know what I mean? You missed that guy. That guy tried to make you $1,000.
What are you doing? All the replies are unrelated now. They're random, people just send random things now in reply. Stupid shit, yeah, just a bunch of, yeah. I don't like it over there. I had to get out of there. I got one last question for you, Jimmy. Thank you for coming by, by the way. For people, Jimmy's been our good friend for, how many years is it now? I don't know, when was the first time I came on? I was say 2018, 2019.
Whenever your career really took off. Yeah, it might have been whenever your tax bracket went to the highest always after the bees Yeah, it was after the bees yeah, cuz we I think every time we have you on we ask you how the bees are and you're like oh I don't have bees anymore remember I've been telling you that for six years. Yeah But it's like one of the coolest things we do in our like
One of the coolest things we get to do in this job is like become actual friends with people we interview and become part of the show. And Jimmy, what I was going to say is Jimmy was in New York last night for the premiere, is flying back to LA and he's like, you know what, I'll fucking stop in Chicago and see you guys. So thank you very much. We appreciate that. So my last question, Robak question, R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com promo code TAKE. 20% off your first purchase, Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, robak.com promo code TAKE.
Uh, let's just go vision board. What's, what's the next role we want? Let's put it into existence. And then we're going to start just talking about it, subtly talking about it when we have like people in the industry on like, you know, play, who do good in this role? Jimmy Tachro. That kind of stuff. I think it's time for an action role. Yeah. I love it. I think it's time for an action role on the acting side.
I love it. On the writing side, I'm still into comedy. But on the acting side, I think it's time to do some action comedy. Top Gun 3. So doing some stunts while I'm still athletic. 23 Jump Street. I would love to do... I'm getting too old, but I always wanted to do a basketball movie. Hoosiers? The next Hoosiers? The next Hoosiers. I could... You know... Not the 2020 Lakers? Yeah. Who could have thought?
Lebron measuring, yeah, the rim. Would you play Lebron? I would play Lebron. I'd buzz the hat, I'd play Caruso. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, I could see that. That'd be perfect, for sure. Yeah, being in a sports movie would be pretty sick. That would be cool, because also, when was the last time we had a good, like, big sports movie? Yeah, it's been a while. I think they just all become miniseries now. That's true. Yeah, not everything needs to be a miniserie. I agree. Like with documentaries, sometimes,
It could be one thing. It doesn't need to be three episodes. It could be one doc. Try to remember the last good sports movie that we had. There really hasn't been one for a while.
Yeah, I can't, I'm, I'm at a loss. I'm thinking right now. Anyone got one. Max memes. You got one. Last good sports movie. Adam Sandler basketball one was good. Oh, yeah. I didn't see that. With her name. Which ones? What do you say? I'm saying their basketball movie. Oh, I played like a scout. Oh, Thunderstruck starring Kevin Durant. Thunderstruck. I don't know if it counts, but iron claw was very good. The wrestling movie.
Oh, that was fantastic. I guess I, oh, yeah, I guess that counts. Yeah. That puzzle is what he's talking about. Oh, yeah, let's get another good sports movie. I haven't seen hustle. What do you got Hank? Air. Air was good, but that wasn't a lot of sports.
Right? Oh, Kevin James. Oh, yeah. Kevin James. Sean Payton. This is happening. Yeah. No, it happened. What do you know? Kevin James played Sean Payton. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It already happened. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It came out like two years ago. Yeah. It's really good. Yeah. So is it funny or serious? Bad?
Oh, do you not haven't seen that? I don't know. I haven't seen it because that screenshot. That looks serious. Yeah. It was about bounty gate. Now he went and coached. He took it. He got suspended for a year and then went and coached his kids like P.E. team. So yeah, that happened.
Wow. Jimmy, I found an old AMA that you did. And one of the people asked you, I'm nothing bad, don't worry. One of the people asked you. This is a terrible set. This was from 11 years ago. So put yourself back in that mindset. They asked you if you could share the screen with one other actor, who would it be? And what genre? You just replied with the actors. You gave two of them. Will Ferrell. Oh, check. Second, Jim Carrey. What's Jim Carrey up to these days?
I don't know what Jim Carrey is up to these days, but that is Jim Carrey in the Grinch. That was the first time I thought to myself, maybe I should act. Really? The Grinch, man. The Grinch Grinch. That was what they did for them. Wow. What was it about his acting in the Grinch? I just remember how I felt watching the Grinch. I was like, wow, he's bringing me so much joy. I would like to be able to bring someone this much joy. It's amazing. Oh, he retired.
in 2022. But then you retire to going with you, but later return for Sonic 3. Yeah, well, you got to come back for Sonic 3. So it's funny to retire after Sonic 2, but come back for Sonic 3. That sounds like a break. Yeah, that sounds like a break. That's very cool, though, that 11 years ago. You're like, I want to do something with Will Ferrell. And now you can go watch it on Amazon Prime. You're cordially invited. Go watch it. Support our guy. So even if you're not a movie guy,

Okay, we now welcome on our good friend. It's been too long. It is long time long time. It is Nick, right? You can see him every day on Fox. First things first, Fox Sports. You can get his podcast with it, which is what's the name of the podcast again? What's Jesus Christ, man? You're not helping me with Nick, right? Yeah.
Yeah, it's me and my son. Yeah, subscribe, follow on YouTube, Spotify, whatever. It should have been the right stuff.
Well, what rights what I called my radio show when it started in Syracuse and in Kansas City. So all my audio stuff's always been called what's right. Yeah, it should be the right stuff. I'm just I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, but it should be the right stuff. Are you calling? Well, you know what? Consider rebranding. Yeah, I mean, that's not hard to do the right stuff. Like I in my head, I was like, it's the right stuff, right? Because that's intuitively an incredible name.
And then it's like another way to look at it is that name's been taken and it's been used. And so this is new. Can I ask? Because I know we're going to talk Chiefs. Can I ask PFT a specific question first? Yes. Sorry. I do. I'm bad podcast guests because I'm just used to hosting. So I apologize. All right. So PFT. If I said in June of 2028,
And asteroid is going to hit Peru and cause damage, the likes of which we haven't seen in centuries. And everyone's like, you're crazy. That's, that would never happen. It's never happened in recorded human history. And then in June of 2028, an asteroid hit Uruguay.
Am I more right or than the people who said it would never happen. I was dead wrong. There's a reason I'm asking this, but just answer that. Well, I'd say that you're like, you're off by like 900 miles. That's not, that's not close. Oh, you think it's not close? Cause I would say I'm like 99% correct, 1% wrong. So let me ask you, Nick, what were you wrong about that you're claiming you're right about?
Well, if in August, I say, for the first time in NFL history, a rookie is going to be playing to go to the Super Bowl and make the Super Bowl. And that rookie is going to be a Heisman Trophy winner. And that rookie is going to be a top two pick. And that rookie is going to have a connection to Cliff Kingsbury.
And then this all happens, and everyone's like, oh, you're an idiot. You said Caleb Williams is going to make this too broad. I'm like, I basically called it. I was off by, as you put 900 miles, but I'm more right than everyone else. Like I am the most right about this. I'm going to disagree with you on that. But that's OK. I think that I admire the fact that you were willing to put your balls on the line for a take.
You've never been afraid of that. How in September of this year, I said, after the commanders beat the Cardinals, I said, I think that this team can lose the NFC Championship game. That's how good I thought that were. Yeah. So in the, in calling the NFC this year, most right PFT. Yep. Second, most right, Nick, right. Well, so I don't.
I want to defend you Nick because I think also you were so Danny Parkins who everyone should watch his show. He's with Stink and Carton and I know Danny Danny's your best friend Nick. He joined Fox in the summer. I always saw it as you trying to help him and being like Caleb Williams like I would watch you talk about Caleb Williams and be like he's doing this for Danny. I appreciate it because anyone talking about the Bears quarterback like this is awesome. But so I actually don't think you were that wrong.
Have you thought about play ones cards right as your name of your podcast? I'm going to think of some more.
Um, no, I, I, I'll stick with what's right. But on the Danny note, so he in the spring was in New York for a conference and came on the show for the first time ever. And this was way before like it was even thought of between here. I like, wait, Fox might hire you full time to do a show. And on that show, we talked the bears in Caleb because they just drafted it.
And I went over the top because I had already been a big Caleb guy with Caleb stuff. And then the second time on the show was the time when I said, I might pick the Bears to make the Super Bowl. And our group of friends was like, that might be the scummiest thing you've ever done to a friend like you are.
elbowing Danny off the Caleb corner. And I said, you got it exactly right. I was like, I'm playing 40 chess boys. I'm trying. I'm elevating the storyline and also making it. So if Danny ends up being a full time person here, no one can be like, Oh, you're a Chicago Homer. Yeah, because he will be taking a more conservative position than me. I saw right through it.
I was like, I actually thought it was one of the best friend moves you could do, because you also were just taking all the reckless takes, so that his takes while also reckless, because we all said some really reckless shit about the bears. Right, but they're, I'm the human shield. I'm the take shield. Nobody's like, oh, this Homer from Chicago, everyone's like Nixon, idiot. That's exactly how I felt about it. That's how I saw it. I don't get enough credit for it. Yeah, thank you.
So to any of the haters out there that might ever say Nick Wright sometimes says things that he doesn't truly believe in the name of generating buzz and discussion, you're saying that those people are absolutely correct. No, I'm not saying that at all because I thought the Bears could make the Super Bowl. I thought they had all the things in place and by evidence by the fact that this Eagles team made made it. It's pretty clear anybody could make the Super Bowl in the NFC.
I what I said was oh I'm sorry is max or maze or Hank any of these ill I don't know if somebody's gonna get mad at me and they don't care uh the no I thought that I do I to answer that and then we can talk chiefs
I never say anything I don't believe. I say things I believe more stridently and at a louder volume. But you guys know this, you do too much content to keep track of lies. If I had to like remember what I was supposed to believe is too many plates in the air, I'm not red panda, can't do that. So we should all judge basically like if you're watching Nick right and I do think you're insanely talented, the more
The more strident you say it, the more with your chest you say it, that's really like you're kind of ramping it up. Why have you never said like something with your chest like LeBron has never done steroids? Well, I mean, that's
That's such an outrageous accusation. Whoa, I didn't accuse. He said he hasn't. I didn't accuse Lebron of doing serious. He said, why haven't you said Lebron is not done steroids? I mean, I don't know why haven't I said why haven't I said big cats 12 feet tall, like things that are obvious. You don't need to say. I just don't. You went straight to the.
You went straight to the accusation. I did not accuse LeBron through a series. I said, why haven't you said LeBron is not? Hey, can we talk about the chiefs and about how you guys know? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
LeBron's career has been so different than anybody else's. The man is amazing. He keeps doing stuff into his late 30s that nobody has ever dreamed of. Forget about Michael Jordan. Forget about anybody else. This man is the best basketball player in the history of the world. And frankly, I think that it's an outrage that more people haven't accused him of doing steroids. That's how much I love LeBron James. It's a great point.
Well, up until the dismount, I was thinking, wow, I'm on the screen for the greatest moment in part in my take history. Like, finally, some truth being told about LeBron on the show that you guys don't have to bring me on to do. I didn't love the end of it, but it is, listen, and that is actually, as I try to segue to the Chiefs, a first cousin of what's happening with the Chiefs. The Chiefs are so great.
that it must be a conspiracy, it must be rigged, they have broken people's brains. In a way, those people who make those ridiculous, unfounded without any evidence whatsoever allegations about LeBron have broken people's brains. But speaking of the Chiefs, can I say one thing to you guys about your post game talk?
First of all, I appreciate that you guys have, I look at the Chiefs commentary as that bell curve meme where the dumbest people and the smartest people, if you asked them any time about football,
They're all like, I don't know. The team that always wins the Super Bowl is probably going to win it. And then the pretend smart people are like, well, the Ravens DVOA is top five all time. And the Lions point differential. Dan Campbell's got it. It's like, no, it'll be the Chiefs. And I appreciated that you guys have not fallen into this referee fever dream.
Yeah, well we still discuss it. Yeah, we like people be angry bills fans. We are biggest take is I don't like when people are Really far on one side or the other we want I think I thought you got a first down But it's not the reason the Chiefs won the game the Chiefs won the game because they're better than the bills and they're better coach than the bills But if you're a bills fan you should spend the next six months complaining about that first step
Well, yeah, because it allows you to spend the next six months not thinking about back-to-back years, Josh Allen down three points ball in his hands and zero combined points. I know that's verbotan on this show because he's a 12-time guest. And I know that it's Sean McDermott and it's everyone else. And Josh is, listen, Josh is excellent. I also would say Kyle Brand, like Kyle Brand, who's as big of a fan of Josh Allen as you guys tweeted right before the drive, Josh Allen
was put on this world for this drive biggest moment of his career, whatever happens. What happened was he got 17 yards. But my only issue was you kept saying if they scored there, it's a two score game. Because they were gone for two.
They were up one. Oh, they would have, and that's what they would have gotten. You killed them for going for too so much. That's the two that would have gotten. No, no, no, no. It was actually a compliment to the Chiefs. You're so, you're so in your own head about like, you know, seeing shadows everywhere and being like, oh, this guy said something bad. I was actually saying while we're watching the game, because we watch the game's live when we live stream. I was saying that, and they might not have gotten it because they couldn't get two yards all day.
I was saying that if the bills during that drive, I was like, if they score here, they should go for two, because there's no way that you're beating my homes if you keep it a one score game with 10 minutes left. I was like, the only way that the bills can win this game is to make sure that it's a two score game late in the fourth, because otherwise my home's going to win. So that was kind of my whole thing going into the game during the game. I was like, you got to step on their throat. If you leave it a doubt, my homes will win.
That's 100% right. The only other way to win the game and you really have to like thread this needle. But if somehow you can get the ball back down less than a touchdown with call it to pick a random number three minutes and 33 seconds left all time out and actually have your superstar quarterback come through.
That's the other way you could win the game and they've now had two bites at that Apple and back-to-back years and they haven't been able to do it. Listen, I think he will win a Super Bowl eventually. But we're... Somebody is going to be left without a chair just in making the Super Bowl and the AFC. And certainly the problem is that I would worry about for Josh is
if, because he'll beat the Chiefs in the playoffs one time. He's too good and the games are too close.
Is it going to be hard psychologically to then like recalibrate and be like that wasn't the Super Bowl? Yeah, the bigger like that's why the NFC is just that's why PFTs in such a great spot is it's like maybe you make the Super Bowl in the one in four years the Chiefs aren't there and if you do it is you are at the top of the mountain winning one game all the AFC teams It's like we have to beat the end boss and then have another game to play which is
is brutal. Jalen Hurst has already been to more Super Bowls than Aaron Rodgers. That's what the NFC is right now. All right. So I got a question for you and this is I want your honest opinion. Great. This is a complete hypothetical, but
if Josh Allen were on the chiefs and patch from homes were on the bills would how many Super Bowls would Josh Allen have gotten to because I do. I obviously think my homes is has proven it more in the clutch. I'm not saying Josh Allen's better than my homes. I always say my home is the best quarterback.
But I do think at this point, there's a lot of coaching and defense that, uh, I think Josh would have been at least to three Super Bowls probably cause he's okay. So that's, I think that's so Colin, our friend, uh, Colin Coward said yesterday to me that, that exact scenario. He's like, Josh would have more rings. That's too much. I would think that. Yeah.
Right. What I would remind the audience of is what Josh has never had to deal with in Buffalo, and it's a testament to McDermott, is what Mahomes had to deal with his first three years in Kansas City, particularly the first two, horrific defense. And so that is something we haven't seen Josh have to overcome. They're not saying he couldn't.
But in yours, right now, it is five appearances, three rings to zero, zero. If it were flipped, I think Josh would have been to two and one, one, and I think Mahomes would have been to four and one, two. So that's what I think would have been the scenario. Because I think Mahomes... That sounds like an advanced... Which bills teams would Patrick Mahomes have taken in Super Bowl? Give us the hypothetical matchups.
Okay, so I think there is no question that in 2022 that Bill's team with my homes instead of Josh, the team that got rolled by Joe Burrow at home, which was weird. That team was awesome. I think 2021.
It probably would have gone Josh the way it went, but Josh is way in Kansas City last year with Tyree. But I think the early Josh Allen Bills teams, 2018 is a year like to think about both of their first years as starter. That defense was good. They had just gone to the playoffs the year before with Tyrod Taylor. You dropped my homes on there. It's to me, a similar situation is when you dropped them on Kansas City.
And so like those are those are ones that come to mind right now this year for sure like so but whatever and now and I don't think you'd say the same for Lamar because I do think Lamar has had teams that have been really really good on both sides of the ball and he's had really good coaching and he's fallen. I see Josh and Lamar is different.
No, of course. Listen, everybody gets so mad at me. Lamar's Aaron Judge. And there's nothing wrong with it, but he's Aaron Judge. And everyone thinks like the, I used to say James Harden, but people have such a dislike of Harden's like athletic character that it, and everyone loves Lamar.
the person and how let's take that out of it. The Peyton Manning is the obvious comp, but if we want to switch to right now this moment, it's Aaron Judge, which is like on a day in day out basis in the regular season, you're like, is this the best player in the sport or certainly in the very, you know, top two or three? And then come the playoffs. It's like, man,
Every time again we don't have to really get this but every regular season it's the mars the best player in the league and every playoffs it's like you know why they lost they put the ball in the mars hands too much and that's a little you know that's that's a little frustrating what do you think about those of you know the list is out there that might hear that and say there's a better comparison for James Harden in today's NFL.
Who's that? Patrick Mahomes. Oh, the flopping. Yeah. Good point. What would you say to them? I'm not saying that. Good point. But there are people listening right now that are like, I can't believe he said James Harden and then Lamar. Yeah. Taking advantage of the rules. Yeah. James Hart, very smart player. I like that you're probably pulling up some stats right now. No, I'm not going to know. I was actually cleaning something. I'm not the keyboards here. I was cleaning something there. Sorry, I had to
Kind of determined because when big cat text me answering I come on first I snap said yes, and then I was like hey Promote the podcast which he took so seriously didn't know the name of I don't I don't want to You know so obviously I'd love for some of your listeners to you know sample my stuff
So I was debating whether or not I want to alienate them. But you know, my north star is the truth. So I would say to anyone who actually believes there is any type of comp between James Harden and Patrick Mahomes, these are the dumbest fucking sports fan I ever heard. And so like my pods probably not for you because it'll confuse you. And so it just wouldn't be fun. And so that's what I would say to them.
Okay. I do. We do say, especially after the Bengals game this year, the Chiefs Bengals game, where people were talking about the passenger, the alleged passenger fairness at the end, people do have chief's derangement sentence. Yeah, they do. Yeah. And anytime something bad happened, you guys have said this all year.
Yeah, I call it, it's like a Chiefs of Gate whenever anything bad happens. But they start to connect all the dots and be like, oh, this ref lived in Missouri for two months when he was 23 years old. And they start to tie all this stuff together. The fact of the matter is the Chiefs have been just the better team and the better coach team with the maybe the best quarter. Actually, that's a good question for you. What does Patrick Mahomes have to do to surpass Tom Brady to be in your eyes the greatest quarterback of all time?
So I already think he's the best player ever, but he's not the greatest quarterback of all time. I know that's a very, that's more my style of argumentation than your guys is. I get that that's very, but I think he's the best player we've ever seen. I do think resumes and accomplishments have to weigh a ton. And so Brady gets to be called the goat.
I think that if they pull off the three-peat, you can, and someone wants to say, he's now the greatest of all time, it's at least an allowed opinion. Right now, it's not an allowed opinion, but that to me is a big enough accomplishment it would be. For me to say it as passionately and clearly and articulately and really brilliantly, as I've said, the LeBron's the greatest player of all time, I think they, if he does the three-peat,
one more Super Bowl, and it's a wrap, plus an MVP. One more great regular season, plus another Super Bowl, and it'd be him. If they don't do the three-peat, he probably has to get to six. Probably, or I think he probably has to get to six. So this is a lot. This is big. The lot on the table. This is big. It's huge. Yeah. No, this is a, it is a, after the, you know, you walked into Buck's Chiefs,
And listen, that game it actually kind of gives me solace because it was such a blowout because if that was a close game and I was sitting here thinking like, man, it would be six four right now with my homes having the head to head victory with a chance for like if they had won that game, it would be maybe already the opinion. And if not, certainly one game away, but they got rolled. So such is like.
Yeah, and now the three people. All right, so you're obviously, you know, going around, I feel like you're the number one Chiefs fan right now. What's your favorite stat that you just show up to people and you're like, hey, did you know this? Because I would imagine you have a lot of them when it comes to my homes or Reed or even Kelsey, where you just- So yeah, so I got it. You want like a fire hose of them? Yeah, go ahead. There's so many to choose from. Yeah, give it to me. Thanks to that bills game, Patrick, my homes now has trailed.
in 53 fourth quarters in his career which sounds like a lot but that's every single loss like everything like that it's not going into the fourth it's at any point he has a winning record in those games in games he's trailed in the fourth quarter he's 27 and 26
Nobody else has won more than 37% of their games in the playoffs. You mentioned this Josh Dubostat He's trailed in the fourth quarter nine times. They've won six of those he's six and three and the so he's played 20 career playoff games 11 easy wins nine times trailing in the fourth six victories one overtime loss where he never got the ball
But the you know the NFL didn't change the rules because of it because we're not the bills Another overtime loss against the Bengals where he didn't come through and then down 31 to 9 entering the fourth against the Bucks blowout My homes the what was the there was another Oh, you said it the that he scored on 13 of 14 of those dry. Yeah, the Mahomes already
has won more playoff games for when his defense allows more than 28 points than any player in league history. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning combined won four playoff games in their entire careers when their defense allowed more than 28 points. That's pretty cool. Maybe you should score so quickly. Yeah. Maybe you should give the ball back to his opponent. Maybe you should just throw these, you know, 70 yard touchdowns to tie, rekill. Well, a lot turns the ball over and more.
I mean, the, the, so the, I think that there, you know, Mahomes, the one time he didn't come through was the over time, the second half against the bangles. That game ended or his last time touching the ball was a perfectly thrown pass.
on third and long to Tyree kill that, but it was in double coverage. It was a risky ball, but it was perfectly thrown, went off Tyree's hands and then it was picked and they lost. Since then in the playoffs, Mahomes has one turnover worthy pass.
Since he lost a playoff game throwing a risky pass. He has made zero Well, I shouldn't say zero because he threw the pick in the Super Bowl and he fumbled here But those are the only two turnovers and he's only thrown one ball really in jeopardy and so I just I think he is Such a different caliber of clutch athlete that it is we are like with the
He is his ability to diagnose exactly the style of game of play it would take to win a particular game and be able to play that exact style is unlike any quarterback I've ever seen other than late stage Tom Brady.
And where Brady deserves all the credit in the world is he was at his, you know, kind of physical best late in his career and then also had all the institutional knowledge, which is why he was so dominant, you know, into his Ford. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's, it is crazy to watch. It's, he thinks the game better than anyone. You can see it when you're watching it and it's really just, I say it over and over and over. Going back to the cheap derangement and everyone talking about the flags and everything.
The reason why the flags are always feel more consequential is the Chiefs, if you give them an inch, they will take a mile. That is what a championship team does. If you make a mistake with them, they will capitalize. And that's what they do. And that's why it feels more significant sometimes. And that's the specialness of Mahomes and Andy Reid and Chris Jones.
Okay, quick break from Nick Wright. Does everybody know what season it is? It is soup season. It is. It's hockey and soup season, but it's also tax season.
and Hank, you know about tax season. How are you feeling about it this year? I feel great about tax season this year. We've been talking about a lot, getting older, getting more mature.

But before you go PFT, can I give you one more stat that is not a Patrick Mahomes stat, but it is. George Carloftis has more playoff sacks than Lawrence Taylor, Aaron Donald, JJ Watt, Derek Thomas. And that's a Patrick Mahomes stat. It's because George Carloftis has just spent his entire career in the playoffs. So now he's already in the top 30 all time in postseason sacks.
Yeah, no, I'm glad you brought that up. That is, that's a very impressive set. You can go all day with these Mahomes stats because they, he's been so great for so long that he really, you can point to a lot of things and say this guy's the best, but you will always be the second biggest Patrick Mahomes fan in the world because Dylan Rayola exists. Have you thought about maybe cutting the hair, wearing the turtleneck thing, like modeling your entire life after Mahomes? So here's the thing.
the reola thing because he he has a relationship with Patrick and like so Patrick's fine with it. So it doesn't you know, I think a lot of people were more bothered by it or found it more cringe worthy maybe than Patrick did.
but what I would say is this gotta play better kid like when it was like this guy might win the Heisman I was like this is sick but when it was when he went in that slump I'm like no that's not cool like you can't the I mean I feel like if PFT commenter
If your career had really gone askew and you were like on Infowars or whatever, then I feel like maybe Florio would have been like changed the branding buddy. But because you became you, it ended up being great for everybody. Yeah. Yeah, no, that would be awesome though. If I was doing Infowscores for Alex Jones, then that should be called What's Right? That would be the name of my show. Yeah.
Your podcast should actually be what's wrong, and then you just admit all the stuff that you were wrong about. Yeah. So the only long form profile ever written of me was the, in Kansas City, there were a couple alt-weekly's, like what the village voice was for New York or whatever, called Pitch and Ink. And one of them wrote, this guy spent a week with me when I was 26,
And spent a week with me, my family went out with us, all of us. And I thought it was going to be this glowing piece about how, you know, this kid from Kansas City who was on the second radio station in town was trying to take down the Heritage Station. And in a quest to one day become America's biggest sports talk host. That was how I thought the article was going to be written.
Instead, the cover of this paper is me with like pointy fingers, shaved head, my nose, the worst angle imaginable, pointing at the microphone and the headline blazed. What's wrong with Nick Wright? And it is 15,000 words about how this kid whose radio show is in 17th place
is delusional. And just saying, I'm going to beat this guy, then beat that guy, then get this job. And the whole premise of the article is that there's a crazy person on the radio in Kansas City. And it's called what's wrong with Nick, right? Oh my God. That's great bulletin for me. Yeah, that is. I have it in my office. I don't have it up here, but I have it up where I watch football. I have it framed in my office. Oh, you got a football office. I love that.
Um, hey, I've got a good CV set up my like that's a big fight with the wife is like how much real estate in the house Oh, yeah goes to 20 Sundays a year of just a wall of televisions, but you guys know what I'm talking. Yeah, I have way too many TVs in my house
All right. So, uh, question just about how you, how you do your job every day. Cause again, I, I think you are very, very talented. I know you agitate people, but that also is what happens when you win, but do you ever send like when you're sucking off Patrick Mahomes so hard, do you ever send him like a clip and being like, look what I did today at work. Like, honey, did you love it?
No, I've never, you're the, okay, first of all, never maybe in that language, but you're the second person that's asked me that question. Like, do you ever send
LeBron or Mahomes clips of you talking about and answer the question and I think that's such an absurd idea Like evidently it's a thing it must be a thing people think might happen because you're the second person asked me that but I just can't fathom like me be
Me, me waxing poetic about Mahomes in the AFC Championship game, then, you know, copy link text Patrick, like, hey, did you see this today, buddy? You know, I've never done that. Now, as far as, you know, us copying or, you know, each other, I will say this before the football season, last year, obviously got the never a doubt tattoo. Oh. And Patrick Mahomes, who rarely, if ever tweets,
45 minutes after winning the Super Bowl sent out his first tweet of the playoffs, a picture of him holding both trophies with only a three word caption, never a doubt. So if you're asking me like, do I think my, you know, my show is regularly on in the facility? Well, why wouldn't it be if just a compliment fest?
Yeah. Like I think that if there was a, if there was a TV show that you, that you had a reliable good chance that if you turned it on, they were just going to be like, and here's reason 68 why PFT and big cat are the greatest that ever existed. You probably have it on in the background somewhat often.
It would be nice if occasionally my homes or LeBron would say just on their own. Hey, Nick, like if they, if they defended you the same way that you defended that, you know, if somebody's dunking on you online and LeBron steps and he's like, Hey, my man, Nick, make some really great points here. You got to say you did it again, Nick. Nick is now 98 and two going up against against Kyle in these debates and over time. You know what? That's a good point.
It should be more of a, you know, two-way street. And I've never really, you know, I've never thought of it that way. But I feel, listen, I'm just out here, they're like, oh, Nick, you're a chief's apologist. And first of all, it's nothing I fucking apologize for. They win every Super Bowl. Second of all, I'm not an apologist for anything. I'm a truth teller.
like the people used to call me a bill's hater and then this year when everyone idiotically was like I like what the jets are building or it's the dolphin jam like no the bills are going to be where the bills always are looking awesome tricking the media into thinking this is the year they beat the chiefs and then losing an heartbreaking passion probably in the conference championship not a bill uh... say it again what was better that last sentence not a bill's hater
