00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - All right, bang, bang.
00:04 It's Wednesday, January 10th, the Rundown here.
00:07 It's your pal Clem.
00:08 We got the two Chicago boys.
00:10 Chicago's from birth, Eddie.
00:12 Chicago about a year ago, Uncle Chaps.
00:15 And we are in for another episode of the Rundown.
00:17 It's a big episode today because you know what?
00:20 Yesterday, they didn't stray from a lot of topics.
00:22 They just kept it on basically Michigan,
00:25 the greatest college football team ever,
00:27 I believe is where we're standing right now.
00:29 That's the company line here at Barstool.
00:30 I'm not gonna oppose that.
00:32 Chaps, Michigan best team ever, yes or no?
00:35 - I'm still gonna go LSU and maybe 2003 Miami Hurricanes.
00:39 - 2001 Miami Hurricanes.
00:41 - Yeah, that's right.
00:42 - That's Wikipedia page number.
00:44 Eddie, Michigan greatest team ever.
00:45 - Guys, I'm on tilt this whole show, I'm sorry.
00:50 I'm gonna try to be a good sport.
00:51 I'm just so mad about the Bears,
00:53 but the Hurricanes are good.
00:56 Michigan, I took Washington and Michigan looked really good.
01:01 LSU is a good team too.
01:03 Yeah, but yeah.
01:04 - I mean, guys, it's the boss, man.
01:06 You gotta say yes, you nod your head, you say yes,
01:08 especially Eddie, he's our fucking teammate, Team ZD.
01:10 We had a match last night, go check out the dozen.
01:12 But let's get into the show right now.
01:14 First topic, Eddie, touchdown that we got NFL,
01:16 Black Monday spilling into Tuesday.
01:19 Little bit of Black Wednesday coming on as well.
01:21 I don't know when we stopped using that term
01:24 for like days of the week,
01:25 'cause I imagine there might be a firing tomorrow,
01:27 maybe with our bosses team in New England.
01:29 We'll have to see.
01:30 Anyway, former New England player, biggest story yesterday,
01:32 Mike Vrabel fired by the Tennessee Titans.
01:35 Six years there in Tennessee, 54 and 44, 45 record.
01:40 Had them go into the playoffs a bunch of time,
01:42 took out Tom Brady in his last game with the Pats,
01:44 made it to the NFC Championship game.
01:47 Since we're gonna let Eddie in cool down period,
01:49 Chapsy, NFC South guy.
01:52 Are you happy as a Jaguars fan
01:53 to face Mike Vrabel anymore?
01:55 I mean, knocked you out of the playoffs this year.
01:57 - I saw one of the questions was,
01:59 would you rather have your current head coach
02:01 than Mike Vrabel?
02:04 And I think my answer is an unequivocal yes.
02:07 I would rather have Mike Vrabel.
02:09 I mean, simply because he's gonna get
02:12 a good offensive coordinator.
02:13 You might be able to go get Arthur Smith again
02:15 and bring that crew back together.
02:18 But I don't think I would, if it was presented,
02:21 ideal world, yes, Vrabel.
02:23 But I don't wanna give Trevor
02:24 his third coach in four years either.
02:27 - That's true.
02:28 That's true.
02:29 Especially after we saw the stats.
02:30 I don't know if John Rich can throw this in the graphic.
02:33 Daniel Jones, first games versus Trevor Lawrence.
02:35 They're basically the same quarterback.
02:37 Basically, except Daniel Jones
02:38 would run it over to Trevor Lawrence.
02:40 - No, we're not doing this, Clem.
02:41 It's not even remotely the same.
02:43 Whenever Daniel Jones has fucking Urban Meyer
02:47 as his head coach,
02:48 while Urban Meyer's fingering in people's buttholes
02:50 instead of trying to help Trevor out,
02:52 while Urban Meyer's kicking the kickers in the head,
02:55 while he's out there with co-eds
02:57 doing all, cheating on his wife multiple times,
03:00 that affected Trevor, 'cause Trevor's a good boy.
03:02 He's never been around a head coach like that.
03:05 He had the Saint, some say Dabo,
03:08 like who Dabo tries to be as moral as possible.
03:12 So no, I reject that.
03:14 And in fact, I rebuke that comparison totally.
03:17 - That's fair.
03:18 I mean, Jason Garrett was the Giants offensive coordinator
03:20 for two of James Jones's seasons,
03:22 you mocked me mercilessly
03:24 as soon as that hiring was announced.
03:25 Rightfully so, as it turns out.
03:27 I'll answer this question from my own perspective.
03:30 The fucking Kombucha, was it Kombucha?
03:33 Kombucha?
03:34 Kombucha girl? - Yeah.
03:35 - She does look like me with a wig.
03:37 I love my guy, Dabes, and I'm like,
03:39 "But I want Rabil, but I love Dabes, but no."
03:42 Rabil's fucking awesome.
03:44 I think he's like,
03:45 this is, I think, gonna be like Andy Reid
03:47 when he got fired.
03:48 I figured he'll have his pick of the winter.
03:49 He'll go to the new team
03:51 and probably just start winning right away.
03:53 He made the Tennessee fucking Titans matter.
03:55 And it's not like he had this like a plethora of offense.
03:58 He had a freak show in Derrick Henry.
04:00 They had AJ Brown, who was like a freak show
04:02 in his own right.
04:02 Ryan Tannehill was like a good enough quarterback
04:04 who was a reclamation project.
04:06 Mariota, he had fucking Malik Willis for 11 games.
04:09 I saw Will Levis.
04:10 I think he's gonna do awesome.
04:12 Do you guys catch that clip of Taylor LeJuan?
04:15 He was on the Rich Eisen show when he found out the news
04:17 and he was just like, "Rabil's not the problem there."
04:21 - And he looked like legitimately upset
04:24 and like pissed off for Rabil.
04:26 And that's how all those guys that played for him are.
04:28 They all love him.
04:30 - Yeah.
04:31 So I feel like the locker room there probably isn't thrilled.
04:34 I let out like an audible like, "Whoa."
04:36 'Cause I think we all thought it could happen.
04:37 I didn't think it would happen.
04:39 My beloved Edward, now I'm gonna throw it to you
04:42 'cause I know you're on tilt.
04:44 Give me your thoughts on Rabil,
04:45 which I think are gonna then bleed into your thoughts
04:48 on Ibraflux, Luke Getzey, and the whole nine yard tree.
04:52 - Well, I believe your question was,
04:54 would you take Mike Rabil over your head coach, Clem?
04:58 (laughing)
05:00 I love you more than anyone maybe in this world.
05:03 - Wow.
05:04 - I think I'd run you over with a pickup truck
05:05 to have Mike Rabil over Matt Ibraflux
05:07 as head coach of the Chicago Bears.
05:10 - Would you chop off John Rich's head
05:11 to have Mike Rabil as the head coach?
05:14 - I would chop off John Rich's head,
05:16 put it in a jar of glass, and I'd put it on that shelf,
05:19 and it would be a decoration for everyone to see
05:22 for years to come.
05:23 I would not even think twice
05:25 because he's part of the reason
05:26 because Ibraflux is their cold soul defensive coordinator.
05:29 So in a roundabout way,
05:31 I would love to have John Rich's head in this situation.
05:34 - John Rich would honestly be ashamed of himself
05:36 for what he did to you.
05:38 - That's fucked up. - He should.
05:39 - Yeah, sure. - He's not right.
05:40 - But listen, Rabil's a great coach.
05:43 That's a stunning firing.
05:46 He did more with less a lot there, I thought.
05:51 I really did.
05:52 And I truly believe,
05:54 and I'm sorry to keep making this about the Bears,
05:57 obviously I'm very passionate about them,
05:58 and this is a new story right now,
06:00 but if someone like Rabil's the head coach of the Bears,
06:03 I don't know, I think they make the playoffs this year.
06:05 I really do.
06:06 - Oh, yeah.
06:07 - So many, he's just a guy who wins.
06:09 And of course, they underachieved this year.
06:12 They didn't play that well, especially in that.
06:15 Yeah, yeah, in the division that was winnable,
06:18 you could say, but they changed quarterbacks.
06:21 So it was a little bit of a funky year,
06:23 but no, I'm a big Rabil guy.
06:24 - I don't even know if they even underachieved.
06:28 They've had some weird injuries.
06:29 Who was their receivers last year?
06:31 Did they have Julio last year?
06:32 That was Julio.
06:32 - No, they did the same collapse as the Jags last year.
06:35 They lost like five games to end the season,
06:37 and the Jags won out to get into the playoffs
06:39 and beat them the last night of the year to get into.
06:41 - The GM got fired halfway through,
06:43 and then it all collapsed.
06:44 But he had them in that game with Josh Dobbs,
06:47 who we didn't even know who Josh Dobbs,
06:48 what he would become the next year.
06:51 So I think-
06:51 - He was a former Jag at that point, Glenn.
06:53 - That's true, but he was a former Jag at that point.
06:55 Now he's added like seven teams to his resume
06:57 who all thought he was the savior for a brief moment.
06:59 Dan himself is so fucking weird, man.
07:01 So we have a couple other firings we could get to,
07:05 but let's just start with the non-firing,
07:07 is our boy Ibra Flues.
07:09 Eddie, you kind of touched on it.
07:11 You said it in your video.
07:13 I feel like you kind of just have to just cut bait
07:15 when you're in this like no man's land,
07:16 especially if you're gonna potentially,
07:18 I think we're moving on from Justin Fields now
07:20 after that Packers game, right?
07:22 You gotta just have a clean break.
07:23 Don't start the carousel and just keep going round and round
07:26 and moving chairs on the deck.
07:28 You just fucking start fresh, start clean,
07:30 and then in two to three years,
07:31 you know if the next coach is the guy
07:33 or everyone's getting fired.
07:35 - We keep getting in this weird overlap period
07:37 where a coach comes in and they get the guy
07:40 that like Nagy came in, didn't draft Mitt,
07:42 so he's gonna keep him.
07:43 He came in, he didn't draft Fields, but he's still here.
07:45 It's just this weird overlap period
07:47 where we will not reset and give new guys
07:50 their whole vision and their whole process.
07:52 And it's maddening.
07:54 It's maddening because that's not really how it works.
07:56 That's not really how it works.
07:57 Of course it can work.
07:58 There's ways that it has worked, it's shown,
08:01 but I don't know.
08:02 It's just, the Bears are insanely frustrated.
08:05 It's just, it's a below average franchise.
08:09 That's just what I just have to come to terms with.
08:12 - Now Eddie, let me ask you this, my friend.
08:14 Because you have Justin Fields,
08:16 you're gonna be able to trade that number one overall pick
08:18 and likely get a big haul again
08:21 that could end up being like another one overall pick.
08:24 Would you be okay with since Matt's coming back,
08:27 Fields comes back, and then the next thing you know,
08:30 you could, if they are both bad again next year,
08:33 then you could have the real clean break,
08:34 bringing a new GM, bringing a new head coach,
08:37 and you're ready to go.
08:38 But the problem is, is they keep Fields one more year,
08:40 they gotta pick up the fifth year option.
08:42 So then Fields will be here for another year,
08:44 and they're gonna be playing him north of,
08:45 you know, what, $20 million.
08:47 So more probably, because it's the quarter top
08:49 five quarterback average or whatever.
08:51 So it's, I don't think it unfortunately ends there.
08:55 Sure, you could just eat it for one year,
08:56 but yeah, man, it's just miserable.
09:00 I was like, I was really on, like, let's see it through.
09:04 Let's keep acquiring, more so like,
09:06 let's keep acquiring draft picks.
09:08 But for this number one, and like, try to see Fields through,
09:11 but that Packers game really left a bad taste in my mouth.
09:14 And I'm not putting it solely on his shoulders,
09:16 but just as a team in general, it just looked gutless.
09:20 It was just a gutless performance against the Packers.
09:23 That was disgusting.
09:25 - Yeah, and it seems like, we'll see what happens
09:28 with the draft process,
09:30 but it feels like, well, Caleb's the guy, right?
09:32 Is that what the Bears fans are feeling right now?
09:34 Caleb is gonna be the guy?
09:36 - Dude, no, right now it's like a civil war amongst Bears.
09:38 It really is.
09:39 There's like, there is, you're either,
09:43 you want, you think Fields is the guy
09:44 and he's been under bad leadership, bad coaching,
09:48 or you think Fields obviously has proven,
09:50 he's shown enough on tape, he is who he is.
09:53 Why would you not take Caleb Williams, number one overall,
09:55 and reset the quarterback clock?
09:57 So Bears fans are like the most divided we've ever been.
10:01 So that's great.
10:02 - And then you have like the third smaller group,
10:05 which I imagine is like,
10:06 let's give the UNC quarterback another shot.
10:08 We missed on Mitch, but let's go with Drake,
10:09 which the fact that it's two UNC quarterbacks
10:12 could go to the Bears.
10:13 And then like, if he flops, it's gonna, I mean,
10:16 I feel for you guys, I really do.
10:17 And I'm not in any great shape right now as a team.
10:20 - I haven't seen that group yet.
10:22 (laughing)
10:23 That's an interesting crew.
10:24 They're in a table, I don't know,
10:27 locked under Whacker Drive together.
10:29 - Yeah.
10:30 Touching on the other firings from the other day,
10:33 Ron Rivera, I mean, if Ron Rivera didn't get fired,
10:37 that would have been the biggest story
10:38 of the fucking century right there.
10:39 I think he basically checked out like a month or two ago.
10:42 - He looks so sad all the time.
10:45 He just looks sad, like he hates his life.
10:48 - I didn't see him blink for like the last season.
10:51 I don't think I saw him blink once,
10:52 and I would catch a decent amount of Commander's games,
10:55 you know, with the NFC East.
10:56 I don't think I saw him blink once.
10:57 Did you see the Schefter tweet where he was like,
10:59 all the stuff Ron Rivera battled,
11:01 and he led with three name changes?
11:03 It's like, dude, there was a lot of stuff
11:05 Ron Rivera dealt with in Washington.
11:06 Three name changes was the least of his concerns.
11:08 Yeah, the fucking idiot owner.
11:10 You had fucking, he had cancer at one point, right?
11:13 And you know, just all the fucking turnover
11:15 that went on there.
11:16 Then the other one was Arthur Smith.
11:18 We touched on him earlier, maybe going back with Rable.
11:20 I just want to say as a B. John Robbins fantasy owner,
11:23 I was tap dancing on that grave at 1201.
11:26 Our boy Jameis, pushing that ball in from the fucking,
11:30 you know, ordering the Code Red, ignoring Dennis Allen,
11:32 who I think we'll be mentioning next Black Monday,
11:35 and the entire Saints team be like,
11:36 no, we just want to turn up the score on the Falcons.
11:38 Chaps, I feel like you know this as someone
11:40 that was in the dirty, dirty back in the day.
11:42 The Falcons-Saints rivalry is one that would permit
11:45 that kind of a running of the score, right?
11:47 - Oh yeah, dude, and shut up, man.
11:49 It's the last, that's all they had to play for
11:51 at that point, just put it in.
11:53 And you, I mean, we did that to the Titans
11:56 a couple of years ago and gave them a 50 burger
11:58 for the first time in a long time,
12:00 or maybe it was the Colts.
12:01 But I remember being like,
12:02 the whole stadium was going nuts whenever they went for it.
12:07 I think they went for it on fourth down
12:09 to get the 50 burger, and people went crazy for it.
12:13 Stop them, you're in the NFL.
12:15 High school's different,
12:16 college may be a little bit different.
12:18 NFL, there is no honor code, just keep scoring.
12:22 - Yeah, the week 18 games between division rivals is good,
12:26 'cause it obviously helps the playoffs,
12:28 it makes them mean something,
12:29 'cause the playoffs are usually up and bounce.
12:31 But when you have two teams that are out of it,
12:33 but you get something like this,
12:34 I think that's another byproduct
12:36 of why this is an awesome thing here.
12:38 Moving on, we have playoffs starting here.
12:42 Dolphins at Chiefs,
12:43 looks like it's gonna be one of the coldest games
12:44 in NFL history.
12:46 Zero degrees, winds up to 20 miles per hour.
12:48 There's only been four games
12:50 where the kickoff temperature was below zero degrees.
12:53 Edward, you're no stranger to these cold games here.
12:58 I feel like playoff weather is one of the sneaky,
13:01 best parts of watching this shit go down.
13:04 - Yeah, this game makes me sad though.
13:06 This game makes me pretty sad.
13:08 You know, just based on the pure offense of both teams,
13:12 it had the opportunities to be really fun.
13:15 And that's of course, like saying,
13:17 thinking of the old Chiefs, not this season Chiefs,
13:21 like the traditional Chiefs offense against Tyreek Hill,
13:25 Mostert, A-Chain, Jaylon Waddell.
13:28 These should be, this should have been like a high profile,
13:32 high shootout kind of game,
13:33 but the Dolphins have fell off a cliff.
13:35 And then the Chiefs are like officially
13:37 the biggest mystery of 2023 so far.
13:41 And then you add in the cold,
13:42 it's just a game that I would have loved
13:44 to be way more excited for.
13:46 And there's just many reasons why
13:48 there's no juice behind it anymore now.
13:51 - So great thing.
13:51 Chapsie, someone getting used to the cold,
13:53 what is your take on all this?
13:55 - I love cold games.
13:56 I think no matter who's the teams,
13:58 whenever you can barely see the field because of the snow,
14:01 the cameras angles are struggling.
14:03 Those are the games that I remember.
14:04 I mean, remember Coughlin standing on the sideline
14:07 at the face in the Packers
14:09 and his face look red as a beet.
14:11 Those are the things that you remember.
14:13 I love that.
14:14 And I love it.
14:15 An offense like Miami really having to get creative
14:18 and figure it out
14:19 'cause they can't just use straight up speed.
14:21 - Yeah, thank you for bringing up that Coughlin game
14:24 against the Packers.
14:25 Brett Favre's last game as a Packer,
14:26 his last pass was caught by Corey Webster of the Giants.
14:29 All time great game.
14:30 And one of those, man,
14:32 that fucking Super Bowl run was so magical.
14:35 Yeah, it's not freezing on the face of the fans.
14:38 Just love seeing.
14:39 It's also great when you're in your house or in a bar
14:41 where it's like a comfy 72 degrees.
14:44 You're just stuffing your face with wings and beer
14:46 and you're just watching people freeze their dicks off.
14:48 Much nicer to be in there.
14:49 Eddie, I hate to bring this up,
14:50 especially if you want to tell.
14:52 I'm trying to think of a way not to say this.
14:55 It's gonna trigger you.
14:56 The Bears-Eagles game that took place.
14:59 Was that a cold weather game?
15:01 I mean, obviously Chicago in the winter,
15:02 it's gonna be, but was it comically cold
15:04 or was it, I remember Carl's video.
15:06 He seemed like he was pretty cold
15:07 as he was leaving screaming death on the kicker.
15:10 Was that a crazy weather game?
15:12 - Club, I'd love to answer that.
15:13 I was in New York with a blindfold on for a little bit.
15:16 - That's right, that's right.
15:17 Again, I apologize for bringing that up.
15:20 It does feel like in a multiverse.
15:23 So we did get fucked out of Chiefs-Dolphins at their peaks,
15:26 like a year ago.
15:27 I don't think Tyreek played the Dolphins a year ago,
15:29 the Chiefs a year ago, did he?
15:30 They played in London this year.
15:32 It was like 21-14.
15:33 It was like, or Germany was one of those European games.
15:36 It just didn't feel right.
15:37 This Chiefs team hasn't looked right all year.
15:39 And as Dolphins, like I like watching the Dolphins.
15:43 Last year, everyone forgets,
15:44 they were on like their seventh quarterback
15:45 by the time the fucking game played in Buffalo
15:47 and they gave them a fucking game all the way to the end.
15:50 So it does suck.
15:51 I feel like we're definitely missing out on that here.
15:54 Moving to the other side of the NFL now,
15:56 Jimmy Kimmel versus Aaron Rodgers.
15:58 Jimmy Kimmel had his like little monologue talk
16:01 for like seven minutes about the whole Epstein list.
16:04 Rodgers went on the McAfee show, fired back about how,
16:08 I guess Kimmel's an asshole, I don't really know.
16:11 I have lost interest in both of these.
16:13 Everyone has their, either pro-Jimmy, pro-Aaron Rodgers.
16:16 I'm anti both of them.
16:17 And I just want this thing to go away forever.
16:19 That's my take on the matter.
16:21 Chapsy, you.
16:22 - I completely agree.
16:23 They just talk about the same like
16:25 Democratic Republican talking points.
16:27 And I don't want to hear it from CNN or MSNBC or Fox.
16:31 I sure as shit don't want to hear it from Aaron Rodgers
16:33 or Jimmy Kimmel.
16:34 Just shut up.
16:35 Aaron Rodgers thinks he has an opinion,
16:37 has to have an opinion on everything.
16:39 It's crazy, man.
16:40 Everything.
16:41 - Eddie, as Aaron Rodgers hater for probably as long
16:44 as you've known him in the NFL,
16:45 you have to kind of love that he has like,
16:47 the haters are growing,
16:49 but he's also getting a lot of like supporters
16:51 through all this too.
16:52 - Yeah, it's weird because he got to a point,
16:54 I think like, not even, not even like,
16:58 COVID stuff aside, I'm just saying during COVID,
17:00 like, you know, it was doing stuff
17:02 like in the Barstoolverse.
17:03 Like I know he donated to the fund.
17:04 He was, you know, texting Dave
17:06 and there was like funny stories at that.
17:08 I'm like, all right, like,
17:09 I fucking hate that guy in the field,
17:10 but as much as there's stuff like there, you know,
17:13 doing kind of Sunday conversation, whatnot,
17:15 I'm kind of starting to like enjoy his personality.
17:17 Now it's like, he hasn't played in a year.
17:20 You know, it does seem like he's super glued
17:23 in this COVID, which I understand,
17:24 like it's a, it was a war that he fought for a long time.
17:27 People were after him.
17:28 So it's hard for him to let it die.
17:29 But I just like me personally,
17:31 I just couldn't care less about it anymore.
17:33 And then the same with Kimmel,
17:34 like he, like he has that monologue
17:36 and then he like, I'm tired of hearing Kimmel
17:38 talk about Trump too.
17:39 So it's like, it's just a two, a twofold thing.
17:42 I've just, I've had enough of both of those guys
17:45 talking over those topics.
17:46 So that's it.
17:47 - Yeah.
17:48 - I mean, what, what, it's 2024.
17:51 When do we stop talking about COVID-19?
17:53 Something that was five years old.
17:54 Like, when are we going to do it guys?
17:56 I know it was a very big moment for all of us
17:58 or a very long time, very big topic
17:59 that changed the world, our lives,
18:02 but I'm just done with it.
18:03 The fucking, I want to say the political stuff
18:06 should go away too.
18:07 There's an election coming up in a few months.
18:08 It's really going to get fucking crazy.
18:11 - And I get it though.
18:12 Like they had a beef, like,
18:13 and a lot of people came at him and whatever.
18:15 I get it.
18:16 I'm just saying for me personally,
18:17 like I'm not super, super tied into it.
18:20 Not super glued into this fight.
18:22 - Yeah, yeah, definitely.
18:24 Moving on to a little lighter topic here.
18:26 A woman was arrested and accused
18:28 of intentionally driving her car
18:29 into the Jaguars facility.
18:30 Look at this.
18:31 We got a Jaguar story with Uncle Chaps on the panel.
18:33 That's a beautiful thing.
18:35 They said, the police believe
18:36 she did not intentionally drive through the front gate.
18:38 It was not football related.
18:40 Facing DUI, property charges,
18:42 aggravated assault on a police officer,
18:44 resisting arrest and criminal mischief.
18:47 Chapsy, is this just a Florida gal being a Florida gal
18:50 or we have something more to it?
18:51 - Duval.
18:52 That's the way we do things, baby.
18:55 And to say that it's not football related, absolute lie.
18:59 You're telling me that after a one in five collapse
19:02 when I stood in this very office and told Eddie
19:04 that we weren't going to lose another game, maybe one,
19:07 and then we lost to four backup quarterbacks
19:10 in that time period,
19:12 everybody in Duval County should have ran their car
19:15 into the stadium just to let people know
19:18 we're fed up and get Press Taylor the fuck up out of here.
19:21 How do you fire the defensive coordinator
19:23 but not the offensive coordinator
19:25 who had all these weapons and couldn't do shit?
19:27 Somebody should fly, no, not gonna say that.
19:29 Somebody should drive a train into the Jacksonville Stadium.
19:34 (laughing)
19:36 - Oh God, Chaps.
19:39 - Yeah.
19:40 - I don't know if you were gonna say it.
19:42 That would not have been good.
19:43 - No, kept it back.
19:45 That's a couple of years on the microphone.
19:47 Shout out, Mincy, making everybody think
19:48 about what they say.
19:50 Even though we got a dumb button here.
19:52 - Oh, wow.
19:53 - Eddie.
19:55 - There's a lot of them around.
19:56 There's a couple of Naval bases around, so.
19:59 - Eddie, have you thought about driving a car
20:01 into the Bears Stadium?
20:03 Maybe it'll make your, get your message across here.
20:05 You seem very upset about it.
20:06 It seems to get people's attention.
20:09 - No, I mean, listen, like this lady,
20:11 like they have to get a few new doors.
20:13 It looks like, you know, that's like small damage.
20:15 I think with my car, apparently there's a problem
20:18 with the batteries and it would light on fire
20:19 and like that would cause a little too much damage,
20:21 you know, so they don't know how to put those
20:23 like batteries out.
20:24 So I would have to keep it.
20:26 I would have to keep away from doing that.
20:28 Yeah, I don't know, Chaps.
20:31 I remember coming up to you like right before that
20:33 and being like, hey, I don't know why I had a brain fart.
20:35 I was like, oh, Chaps is a Jags guy.
20:37 And obviously you've known that.
20:38 But for some reason I was like, hey,
20:39 I think there's value in the Colts winning the division.
20:42 - You look to me and you're like, what?
20:45 No way.
20:45 Like, and then to see what happened.
20:47 - I don't like that you're bringing up old stuff, honestly.
20:49 - Yeah, I apologize for doing that.
20:51 And yeah, this lady, she was fed up.
20:55 She was fed up.
20:56 - Ed, just 'cause you mentioned that with the AFC South
20:59 has triggered something I meant to ask earlier
21:01 with the field stuff.
21:03 Are you prepared that if some,
21:05 this does not go right with the quarterback coming up
21:07 and either Caleb Williams or Drake maybe
21:09 comes what they become.
21:11 No one's bringing it up that you guys traded the one pick
21:13 and then CJ Stroud then became CJ Stroud.
21:15 Are you ready to then have the CJ Stroud
21:17 be lumped into the Mahomes, Watson, yada, yada, yada.
21:21 Has that percolated in Chicago yet?
21:24 - It's been like a small whisper.
21:25 It hasn't taken off like, it hasn't taken off too much,
21:29 but it's definitely like when you go down like a bearish,
21:31 like dark, deep hole, people will mention that.
21:34 Because the only reason why more people don't
21:37 is 'cause I think everyone at that time,
21:38 the season fields was coming off of,
21:41 like everyone wanted fields to stay.
21:43 So like, that's hard to play the second guest game
21:46 with that one.
21:46 - Yeah, that's really shifting, moving the goalposts,
21:49 a little football term for everyone out there.
21:51 Also has to be said, I said this a million times,
21:53 Lovie Smith was the coach of the Texans
21:55 when they won that game.
21:56 And obviously it was embarrassing,
21:57 you guys got the one pick.
21:59 The juju, the football God smiled upon the Texans
22:03 by granting them CJ Stroud
22:04 for winning that meaningless week 18 game.
22:06 So while we're all fucking crying in our beers
22:08 about draft position the last month of the season,
22:11 turns out like you can still get the best guy on the board,
22:13 at least it looks like after a season, right?
22:15 When Bryce-
22:16 - Shout out to the Jets for winning their week 18 game too.
22:18 - Yeah, let's see Trevor.
22:20 Yeah, that fucking, that Rams game,
22:22 that was like the most worthless win of all time.
22:24 I still remember that.
22:25 I know, I don't think I could say this is the lady,
22:28 but in my head cannon,
22:31 I have decided that it's the steals the show Jaguars fan
22:34 is the Jaguars fan that drove through the front door
22:37 of the Jaguars facility.
22:38 And people can tell me it's not, I do not care.
22:40 She took it to the limit, stole the show.
22:43 One of the greatest videos.
22:44 I hope she's doing well wherever she is.
22:47 - She's actually, she passed away.
22:49 - I thought that might be the case.
22:50 Shit, God damn.
22:51 - I don't know that for sure, but I would imagine so.
22:53 - Speaking of someone who passed away,
22:55 thank you for the transition Chapsey,
22:57 an amateur treasure hunter.
22:58 He dreamt that there was gold under his house,
23:01 dug a hole 12 stories deep,
23:03 fell in the hole and then died.
23:04 A man in Brazil, 130 foot hole.
23:07 Absolutely crazy.
23:09 Dreamt about gold, digs, goes, falls, dead.
23:13 RIP to our guy here.
23:15 Something to be said about chasing your dreams though,
23:17 which probably is gonna end in tragedy
23:19 instead of what the movies tell you.
23:21 Is that correct, Uncle Chapsey?
23:22 - That's exactly correct.
23:23 And I love this guy because he died doing what he loved.
23:26 He wanted to find a bunch of gold,
23:28 fell down 130 feet and found streets of it, my friend.
23:31 He found what he wanted in spades.
23:34 - That is correct.
23:35 Edward, what's your take on this whole matter?
23:37 - It's the American dream.
23:39 You know, "Goonies" is one of my favorite movies of all time
23:41 and a good old treasure hunt,
23:43 like if someone seriously came to me,
23:45 like I don't care if it was the craziest person
23:47 off the street and looked like they were mentally ill
23:50 and they were like, "Hey, I got this map.
23:52 Like there's treasure here."
23:52 I think I'd follow them.
23:54 So I'm in.
23:56 - There is a thing, like if you show me hard evidence
23:58 that something is somewhere, I'll probably go along.
24:00 If you just say you have a feeling about it,
24:03 it's like, I gotta follow it, right?
24:04 It's like when you like, do I get,
24:06 the lottery ticket has your number.
24:08 It's like your favorite number in the lottery.
24:09 You're like, I gotta go for it.
24:11 'Cause if you don't get it, you're kicking yourself.
24:12 So this guy would have lived his whole life
24:15 just thinking under that house.
24:16 He went for it, might've ended his life,
24:18 but you know what?
24:19 It's better than just, you know,
24:20 living miserable, dying a hero.
24:22 So shout out to him.
24:24 He's probably in a fucking, in heaven right now,
24:26 just surrounded by nothing but gold.
24:27 So chasing your dreams.
24:28 - We're finding a lot more people with tunnels, Clem, too.
24:31 We had that one lady on TikTok that like did it
24:33 for underneath 13 houses or something like that.
24:36 And the cops came in and told her she couldn't
24:38 'cause she was ruining the foundations
24:40 of other people's houses.
24:42 That was a crazy one.
24:44 The El Chapo had all kinds of tunnel system
24:46 underneath his house.
24:48 The Hasidic Jews that are in New York,
24:50 now that they got a secret synagogue.
24:52 Did you see that there was a tweet from a dude
24:55 that was like, it was two years ago or three years ago,
24:58 something like that.
24:59 And he got dragged on Twitter for saying,
25:01 I'm in my apartment, it has no basement.
25:03 And I feel like I hear Yiddish coming
25:07 from underneath my house.
25:08 And people were like, you're so racist.
25:10 That would never happen.
25:12 And then he quote tweeted it back and be like,
25:14 everybody in these replies owe me apology.
25:18 I'm not racist.
25:19 I really heard Yiddish below me for a year.
25:23 - Wow.
25:24 I did not see that tweet.
25:25 I saw the video.
25:26 I mean, absolutely bizarre video, which for New York City,
25:29 like I kind of didn't even buy it,
25:30 but yeah, it's New York.
25:32 You never know what you're gonna find there.
25:34 Wow. Good for him.
25:35 Nothing like people probably trying to cancel him.
25:37 And meanwhile, he had a legitimate
25:40 Hasidic Jewish tunnel going through his house.
25:42 Also our boss, Dave Portnoy,
25:44 wasn't there rumors of tunnels in his,
25:47 one of his fucking mansions he bought.
25:50 So tunnels are hot in the street, man.
25:52 I mean, tunnels, we had a snowstorm here the other day
25:56 and there was nothing better.
25:57 Chaps, you didn't experience this, but Eddie,
25:59 when you'd have the, I don't know in the city, Eddie,
26:02 but if you have like a dead end,
26:04 all the snow will get pushed there
26:05 and you could dig like a fucking igloo
26:07 and make tunnels through all that.
26:09 Did you ever do that back in the day during a snow day?
26:11 - I don't think so, but it was definitely an option.
26:17 It was an option.
26:18 I just never, I was just, yeah.
26:20 - The Clem kids just had themselves a nice snow day
26:23 and we were digging tunnels through all that.
26:24 It's very nice.
26:25 Tunnels, pillow forts, it's all just kind of like,
26:28 you never grow up is what I'm saying.
26:29 - Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.
26:31 - Clem, you know who would like to do that activity?
26:34 Kids who watch WCW.
26:36 - That's true.
26:38 - That's a WCW kid move.
26:40 - That is a big time WCW kid move.
26:43 After show, we talked about people chasing their dreams.
26:47 Dreams came true for the boys at Foreplay.
26:51 Tiger Woods video dropped today.
26:53 Before we went live, Chaps,
26:54 just give me your take on the entire video.
26:57 You said you were smiling the entire time.
26:59 - Honest to God, I think it's the happiest I've ever been
27:02 for a long form YouTube video.
27:04 I smiled the entire time.
27:06 When the guys were talking about their butterflies,
27:09 to me, that's the pinnacle of working in this kind of job,
27:13 where you see people, happened to me with Deion Sanders.
27:16 The first time that I walked in and I saw Deion Sanders
27:18 growing up as a Florida State guy and a Braves fan,
27:22 whenever I walked in and saw Deion, I was starstruck.
27:25 And these dudes are like that on a whole different level.
27:28 And it's so cool to have those moments
27:30 that you could show your kids.
27:32 Your kids are gonna freak out when you showed them
27:33 that you hit a ball off the deck with a five wood
27:38 and you smoked it down the fairway,
27:40 your best hit with a hybrid that you've ever hit
27:43 in front of Tiger Woods.
27:45 That's got, I mean, you could ride high off that moment
27:48 forever, forever.
27:50 - I told you, I honestly am worried about Mr. Borrelli
27:53 drowning in his own tears from the amount he cried
27:55 seeing Frankie live out his dream
27:58 and the way that all worked.
27:59 And like you said, at Barstool,
28:01 we kind of become numb to how ridiculous,
28:03 I mean, even Jerry's thing, like last week,
28:05 all the crazy, Tom Brady, TJ Watt,
28:08 and then we have JJ Watt walking with Frank
28:10 and you just become numb to the absurdity.
28:12 And then you see something like this,
28:13 and you're like, wait, Tiger and the foreplay guys,
28:15 I got goosebumps just thinking about it.
28:17 There was a few guys that I had to like,
28:19 I was like, I would never ask to meet someone
28:21 if they were here.
28:22 I was like, John Madden was on the top of the list.
28:25 Alex Trebek was on the top of the list.
28:27 Both are dead now, so that's not gonna happen.
28:29 So I have to try to find my guy before, you know,
28:31 they kick the bucket or before, you know,
28:33 my time here at Barstool is over.
28:35 But I mean, just an absolute incredible video.
28:37 Eddie, I imagine you're the same on this.
28:39 Unless you're gonna be like, fuck those guys.
28:41 - No, honestly, I love those guys.
28:44 I'm very happy for them.
28:47 And their behind the scenes crew too,
28:48 Jonesy and all those guys, they do a great job.
28:51 They're always out there grinding.
28:54 And it's just to see that come to fruition after,
28:57 you know, the video with when he won the Masters,
29:00 when Dave leaves early and like how much they've had
29:02 that guy's back and through thick and thin,
29:05 it's really cool.
29:06 So I'm very happy for the foreplay guys.
29:08 - And the Trent redemption tour.
29:10 Don't forget that.
29:11 'Cause the last time he met with Tiger,
29:13 he got the question of where you guys stationed
29:15 and his brain completely dropped out of his head.
29:18 This time he kept it together.
29:19 He said he was gonna puke,
29:20 but he handed it way better.
29:22 I mean, and even for Trent, somebody like Trent,
29:25 somebody like me, like if you go up there
29:27 and you are hitting the ball in front of Tiger Woods,
29:30 I feel like just getting it off the ground
29:32 is all I would be able to do.
29:34 Like I can hit a ball pretty decently,
29:36 but you put me in Tiger Woods
29:38 and that thing's going like nine fairways away.
29:40 There's no chance I get around on it, none.
29:42 - It's nice seeing the foreplay guys get a break, right?
29:46 You know, they get the golf everywhere,
29:47 massive numbers, huge sales.
29:49 It's nice to see them meet the heroes too,
29:50 you know, kind of just put a cherry on top of it all.
29:52 And speaking of the foreplay guys,
29:54 today in New York is a Trent day.
29:56 Did you guys see Trent day in New York?
29:58 - I did, I love it.
29:59 - Everyone's showing up wearing khakis
30:01 and like a black crew neck
30:03 in honor of his 10 years here at Barstool.
30:05 And the plan was for everyone to show, you know,
30:08 to wear it and then he shows up
30:09 and he just sees everyone dressed like him.
30:11 And he was like in at 8.30
30:13 and like only like five people were there at that point.
30:16 And it kind of ruined the surprise
30:18 of the craziness a little,
30:18 but I guess just shout out Trent.
30:20 One of my favorite Trent's in the entire world
30:22 is I sat on dog walk the other day.
30:23 - I completely agree.
30:24 And when I started here,
30:25 there was two hugs that I put on my Mount Rushmore
30:28 immediately.
30:29 Trent was one.
30:30 He met me out at a restaurant and he came up to me.
30:33 He's like, "Hey man, nice to finally meet you in person."
30:35 We gave a hug and I felt like he was just a big old
30:38 grizzly bear and I was his hug.
30:40 I was his cub.
30:41 Same thing with you, Clemmie and Eddie.
30:43 Shit, top three probably huggers at Barstool right here.
30:46 - Oh, thanks guys.
30:48 - Getting a lot of warmth from these boys here.
30:50 And Eddie, any thoughts on Trent after, again,
30:53 we had the dog walk draft
30:55 and he kind of looks like shitting on chocolate
30:57 and how he doesn't really like chocolate.
30:58 So that kind of put a little sour taste in our mouths,
31:00 but you gotta love the guy.
31:02 - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:03 I'm not gonna, you know,
31:04 we'll keep our chocolate chip cookie beef aside
31:07 on his big day for Trent day and the Tiger Woods day.
31:10 So here's Japs.
31:12 What happened?
31:13 - Oh, nice.
31:14 - He's a bad boy right now.
31:16 Needed to do it.
31:18 You know, Eddie, you could have kind of said like,
31:22 Clemm, if you move out to Chicago with everyone else,
31:24 you can get hugs whenever you want.
31:25 You might've convinced me right on the spot,
31:27 but I'm kind of missing that right now.
31:30 - Yeah.
31:32 - So that's the rundown.
31:33 We covered a whole bunch of shit,
31:34 went a whole bunch of different ways
31:35 and see you guys tomorrow.
31:36 (whooshing)
31:39 [BLANK_AUDIO]
