00:00J.J. Watt.
00:02Yeah, like a three.
00:03The guy cannot do anything wrong.
00:05Whatever he says goes, whatever he says is correct.
00:08You agree with him.
00:10Do you agree with him on this?
00:12Good segue, Colin.
00:14All these international games, PC, that we just referenced last segment,
00:17Australia, Brazil, France, Spain, Germany, Mexico, London,
00:21if I didn't say that already.
00:22J.J. Watt had a tweet earlier today,
00:24and it was on all of these international games.
00:28He says, quote, international game slate is nearing the realm
00:35of traveling circus as opposed occasional showcase.
00:40So that tells me J.J. Watt's not necessarily a fan of this whole thing.
00:44He feels like maybe this used to be kind of a one-off thing,
00:50or NFL's going to play a couple of games over there.
00:53They'll send two, three, four different teams over there
00:56and play games during the regular season.
00:57That's kind of cool.
00:58Give the good people overseas a taste of our very fine product
01:02that we call the NFL.
01:05Now it's damn near pretty close to every week of the regular season.
01:12I mean, it stops in week 11, but somebody just texted in during the break
01:16asking about, like, hey, didn't they want to have an international game
01:20for every week of the season eventually?
01:22They actually signed retro from the 8-3-2.
01:25And I don't know that that's the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if, yeah.
01:28And if they want it, they're going to get it ultimately.
01:30Goodell has talked about eventually having NFL teams in Europe
01:36that would play NFL games, and teams would fly international every week.
01:42Every week.
01:43So you want 17 games.
01:48No, they want 18 games.
01:49Well, now they got 17 games, but now they want 18 games.
01:52And now you're going to ask teams who, someone's getting screwed on this,
01:58by the way, or not someone.
02:00Some teams are going to get screwed, kind of like the Vikings were last year.
02:03I think they had three international games in three straight weeks
02:06or something like that.
02:07Or two straight weeks or something like that.
02:08Well, the Jags have two international league games back-to-back this year.
02:12Week five and six.
02:14They'll be in London.
02:14Yeah.
02:15Eagles-Texans.
02:16Point is, you're asking for all of these things,
02:20but at the same time you clamor, you emphasize how much you care
02:25about player health and safety.
02:27Oh, stop.
02:27We know that's bull.
02:28Yeah.
02:29I had to censor myself.
02:30We almost had to hit the double.
02:32That ship has sailed.
02:33Like, we understand that that's kind of something that they say to CYA,
02:39as in cover your ass, or their ass.
02:42Same league that once you tried to discredit a doctor that, no,
02:49head injuries in football, those don't cause concussions.
02:52You're stupid.
02:53Why don't you say that?
02:54Yeah.
02:54And then, the more you know now.
02:56And then Will Smith came out with a movie.
02:58CTE?
02:58That's not real.
02:59Like, what are you talking about?
03:00Do you guys agree with J.J. Watt on this, on his premise?
03:03Like, do J.J. Watt gets the feeling that, you know,
03:08all these international games has become more of like a circus.
03:11It is a circus, because there's one reason and one reason only to do it.
03:16Cha-ching.
03:17Sure, but that's the reason for everything.
03:19It gives you another window.
03:22Absolutely.
03:22To get people to watch footballing.
03:24Because, you know, these European games,
03:27they're always real early in the morning on Sunday.
03:29So, hey, honey, we're not going to church today.
03:32There's football on.
03:33The game in Australia,
03:35what, is that going to wind up being like a Saturday night game?
03:37Because it's like a, what, is it, 16-hour time difference?
03:42It's crazy.
03:42I'm willing to bet Father T.J. is not going to be doing the 9 o'clock mass
03:46on October 18th,
03:48because I think the Texans are playing at 8.30 in the morning.
03:51Oh, good old Pendergast,
03:53Payne Pendergast and Sterner are going to have a great time with that one.
03:56Father T.J. is going to be doing the 7 a.m.
03:58And probably, you might be doing the Saturday mass at 5, you know.
04:06Yeah.
04:07Honestly, I might try to talk the wife into taking in the 7 a.m. that morning.
04:11I don't know if I can wake the boy up that early, but we'll see.
04:15I like this.
04:16I disagree with J.J. on this whole thing.
04:18Now, look, as a player, a guy that was literally once on the inside
04:22and still is as an analyst and, you know, he knows people
04:25and he knows, like, behind the scenes and the motives and all that,
04:28but you know the motive.
04:29The motive is to make more money, gain more exposure, make more money,
04:34and ultimately, if the end game is to have an international game
04:39every single week of an NFL season,
04:42whether it be 17 or 18 games, 19 or 20 weeks now or in 10 years from now,
04:49the NFL, if that's what they want, they're going to get it.
04:52I just, I think, ultimately, that's what it should be
04:56because you're not asking everybody to go play in an international game.
05:00That's why, you know, people have these stupid conversations about, like,
05:03oh, look at all the miles the teams are flying.
05:05They're going to be tired.
05:07All this crap.
05:08Yeah, if you've ever flown, like, PK has shown us pictures
05:11of what it looks like when he flies international,
05:15and basically he has, like, his own, like, little room with a bed
05:21and a TV and, like, internet.
05:25I mean, it's like you can sleep in a full-size bed
05:30or you can hook up your gaming console to the TV.
05:34I mean, like, literally, you have, like, your own little cubby.
05:36Yeah, yeah.
05:37They charge, like, $1,500 a month, I think, in New York City
05:40for a space like that.
05:41Yeah, more than that.
05:42In the hood.
05:43$1,500 a week.
05:44So let me ask you this, Sean.
05:46Are you worried?
05:47Like, in my opinion, international games are supposed to be special,
05:51like a special occasion.
05:53Like, they're supposed to, you know, be like, oh, that's so cool.
05:56Are you afraid, though, that it would become a little too oversaturated?
06:01It's not for us, right?
06:03It's for them.
06:04Like, London, the NFL has recognized, hey, we have a fan base over there
06:10or we would like a fan base over there
06:13or we'd like a larger fan base over there.
06:16You know what, Ryan T. Smith from the Chronicle now gets the big bucks
06:19to write for TalkSport.
06:20TalkSport covering American football in the U.K.
06:25Man, they're starting to get football fever, or American football fever,
06:29as they call it.
06:29I was about to say.
06:31Let's tackle the most important thing here.
06:34Which is?
06:35Texans go to London.
06:36Mm-hmm.
06:39Percentage chance of shows on this station going to London.
06:44Zero.
06:46I didn't mean our chance.
06:48Zero.
06:49You don't think there's any chance, like, Lopez or Pendergast or Clint winds up going to London?
06:55Now, Lopez said this earlier today.
06:58I think it was Lopez.
07:00Somebody had said, like, oh, yeah, Pendergast.
07:03Like, him and Amy, they should cross.
07:04They'd be able to cross this one off their checklist.
07:06Like, they go to London and then they stay in London for, like, a month
07:09because the NFL's going to be in London for a month, week four to, like, week seven or whatever.
07:15I think it's three straight games.
07:17Yeah, week four, five, and six.
07:18Colts, commanders, Eagles, Jags, Texans, Jags.
07:21Stay over there for a month and take that in.
07:24Pendergast would be, like, the only one to be like, yep, sign me up.
07:27And then he might be able to just flip the bill himself.
07:30That's because he's rich.
07:30And in that event, Parker would be like, yeah, you know, if you flip the bill yourself,
07:36you know, you could zoom in and do the radio show in the morning with Seth.
07:39Or, you know, Mr. Moneybags, flip the bill for Seth to go over as well.
07:44And, you know, maybe a producer or two, engineer Andy, could tag along if you flip it.
07:50Or, like, paint and Pendergast overseas.
07:52Yeah.
07:52Crazy idea.
07:53Pendergast and paint.
07:54Crazy idea.
07:56Uh-huh.
07:56They get a sponsor.
07:58Ah, PK from Norway.
08:01Oh, no.
08:02If he was going to sponsor, we'd be going.
08:05Well.
08:05And you know what's not happening?
08:08We're not going.
08:09Come on, PK.
08:10Pay that right now.
08:12PK's like, no, you're asking how to play in Norway before I flip a bill.
08:15Like, would Tain and Pendergast go?
08:18I feel like that's a 20% chance.
08:21Oh, far too high, sir.
08:23Pendergast and paint.
08:25John and Reg, 5% chance.
08:30Ron and Clint, 15% chance.
08:33You're insane.
08:34This show, minus 9,000%.
08:37Okay.
08:37Would you rather have the station go to London for Texans-Jags and kill Super Bowl?
08:46Like, screw Radio Row.
08:47We don't need that in our lives.
08:49It would have to be one or the other.
08:50Which one are you choosing?
08:51Would you rather have the station go to the Super Bowl or have the station go to London?
08:55Well, look, if the Texans are in the Super Bowl, we'll be there anyway.
09:02So, if they're not in the Super Bowls, there's a lot of...
09:09I mean, what's the worst that happens if we don't go to Radio Row?
09:12They don't get flim-flammed by a fake Stefan Diggs?
09:18Correct!
09:19I was wondering if you were going to bring that up.
09:22Of course.
09:24Fun times, man.
