Okay, so you don't care about giving him up? No, not really. But Alan's art is on IR. So Mike Williams did fill a hole there. But young guys got to step up.

And then he just showed me the phone, and it was just Pete Davidson. I was like – So that's how the day started. And then he gave me the sickest seats ever, 50-yard line, first row. Eagles go up big in the fourth quarter. Then he just starts acting like Santa Claus. He comes over. He gives me a game ball. He goes to my mom. He gives my mom like a team-issued beanie. It was great.

Exactly, the chances of Tanner McKee going on to be this like, oh no, sorry Pug, sorry Pug, sorry Pug, sorry Pug. Tanner McKee is the truth. Tanner McKee, very good quarterback. That was a great drive that he had today. He had two great balls in that drive. A.J. Brown caught two of his touchdowns.

I love that statement. That's awesome. That rocks.

There was a little bit of a hairy moment there in the first quarter. I mean, it started off with a pick six, but then, you know, we stalled. We were getting out. I think at one point the Cowboys had like 150 yards to our like 14. So it was like it wasn't from start to finish, but we picked it up. And Saquon. Saquon is so good. Saquon started rolling.

The question is, do you play Saquon next week? I would say no. He's 101 yards from the record. I also say no, but if I had to guess, I think they will play him.

That feels like what they're going to do. Yeah. I don't want him to play at all. If he gets hurt and can't play in the playoffs. Don't say that. That's the whole conversation. That's the only thing you can say.

I'm just thinking about Eagles fans are the best. There was this guy behind me at the game today, and every single play was a bullshit call by the refs, and it was a fucking ref show. I remember there was two tackles of, like, Saquon was just running outside, and they just, like, took his legs out, and he just goes, that's a chop block. That's a fucking chop block.

I think at one point the Cowboys had like 150 yards to our like 14. So it was like it wasn't from start to finish, but we picked it up. And Saquon. Saquon is so good. Saquon started rolling.

The question is, do you play Saquon next week? I would say no. He's 101 yards from the record. I also say no, but if I had to guess, I think they will play him.

That feels like what they're going to do. Yeah. I don't want him to play at all. If he gets hurt and can't play in the playoffs. Don't say that. That's the whole conversation. That's the only thing you can say.

I'm just thinking about Eagles fans are the best. There was this guy behind me at the game today, and every single play was a bullshit call by the refs, and it was a fucking ref show. I remember there was two tackles of, like, Saquon was just running outside, and they just, like, took his legs out, and he just goes, that's a chop block. That's a fucking chop block.

I was just, like, having no idea what any of it actually means. But shout out that guy. That guy was the best. Shout out that guy.

I'm looking at one of the super deals. It's a great spot in the end zone for $263. It's a super deal, though, in the end zone that's going to be a great game.

I thought I was playing the Commanders in the first round.

Unless the Vikings get the one seed. Unless the Vikings. No. Right now, the Vikings have the one seed. That's why I said that.

Correct.

The Packers are a million times better than the Commanders.

Because I'm going to have you on my side, and you don't –

But the Packers are better than the Commanders.

Max hates that. It's like, yeah, it's like actually.

Yeah, yeah.

It's got to be good teams in the playoffs. It's got to be good teams in the playoffs.

Max, what did you find out? No, I'm just looking. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.

It's literally, I think I would rather play any other wild card team, except for the loser of Vikings, Vikings line. So you'd rather play one other wild card team. There's only three wild cards. No, I'm including first round wildcard weekend teams in the NFC.

I get it. I'm saying I would also rather play either Falcons or Bucs, and I would also rather play the Rams. Why do I have to play the Packers?

I'd also rather play the Texans. I'd rather play the Steelers. I'd rather play the Chargers.

Yeah, we already did beat the Packers.

No, I know. I feel good. I feel good. I just had to go pee. I feel good.

If the Commanders, it'll be a house divided. No, we're going to beat the Packers.

Yeah. To be fair, I think club hockey is a little bit different than other club sports. I think that there's like D1 club is like higher. I don't know exactly what it is, but I remember talking to a hockey person who played club hockey.

Yes. Yes. Oh, no. Yes, because it's Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. That is why I'm nervous about Boise State. Because of history.

I also, through my research, I will be a hard Commanders hater. Yeah, you've got to be a Cowboys fan. Yeah, you've got to be a Cowboys fan.

No, no, no, no. I'm saying in the Rams-Commanders game. Why? Because then if the Rams win that game, the Eagles would avoid – If the Eagles beat the Packers and the Rams beat the Commanders, then the Eagles avoid the Vikings or Lions. Got it.

So now I'm kind of back in on that scenario.

Correct. So the Vikings, yes, yes. No, I'm not.

No, but I'm saying if the Rams – You got to beat good teams in the playoffs.

Yeah, that's good, PFC. You're ready for the playoffs. Yeah. That's a team that has no aspirations to do anything.

Yeah, I don't know. We'll say no. We'll play who's in front of us. Give me the Packers.

Yeah, it's probably alien. I've heard it's aliens protecting from other aliens. This is what I've heard. Okay. Pug.

Apparently, they've been here the whole time, but just in the water. Okay. And when the bad aliens, I guess, are threatening now, so they came out to protect us against the bad aliens.

That's the scary part. I don't think we know.

Okay.

Well, we know they're protecting us, but we don't know like the war with the bad aliens. Got it. Got it. Okay. We don't know like the result of that yet.

Yes.

Okay.

Okay. All right.

On Sunday I went 0-1.

Yeah, I had Max pull up the clip.

Yes.

Your thoughts? James Winston is the next QB of the New York Jets.

No, so I'm forced to watch McAfee every Tuesday because my quarterback does an hour-long interview. And he was reminiscing on how the Jets impacted his life. And it seemed like – Because they said an announcement was coming, and he was reminiscing, and then it was just a trailer for his new show.

Oh, and what memories they were. Yeah, he said he met some good people inside the building.

President Pug. President Pug. Wait. Why don't you talk to the mic president? Oh! Hey, hey.

That was my number. That was his number. You don't get to turn President Pug's mic off. You didn't pick that. We live in a society. That was his pick.

You technically did not pick that.

You're the one that I got it. Pug into office. I got the number. You did that. I got the number. That's his pick. Guess what? No, no, no. You said, have you ever picked it right?

Technically, I have gotten it because I said if you get two, I picked it right.

Not in the old studio.

Well, Hank took the three ball out in the old studio. Here come the excuses. Oh, what? Remember it went missing? Hank honestly lives in your head, Mims.

No.

PFT got it. I picked that.

No, his mic's off.

Hank's mic is off.

All right.

State of the Pod. Yeah, really just a policy update, I guess. Okay. A single policy we will be adding starting right now. Okay. So the two people who have not gotten a lottery ball, PFT, memes.

Going forward, you will now be picking each other's lottery ball.

Until further notice. Yes, Pug! Blake also approves. Pug.

No, it was just the preliminary conversations.

I just wanted to get his approval at first before I went forward. He gave you full approval. Now that we have that, we're good to go.

How we doing? How we doing?

What do you got, Memes? He didn't do much with the Jets, but Russell Wilson loves deep ball, and Mike Williams is a deep ball threat, so he didn't do much with the Jets. Okay, so you don't care about giving him up? No, not really. But Alan's art is on IR. So Mike Williams did fill a hole there. But young guys got to step up.

No, Pug.

We did not bump up. We're not in the top 100 yet.

I don't understand.

It was a walk-in layup.

I could get to a point where I get very angry, but I think it's fine.

I was not playing the game, so I didn't see any of what he was doing. Some would say it's a gather step. I heard eight steps. I was coming down, spun. We're going to have to get this. Two extra steps, threw it up behind me, hit off the backboard, went in. It was sick play.

Not beating up.

No, I genuinely like you guys. But there's been moments. Yeah, but that's got to be 100%. Yeah. No, probably just Max. Hank? You're saying Hank? Yeah, but Hank doesn't yell. Yelling triggers me. Max is like... We could be talking about offensive linemen and he'll just – Max gets to a level of just office chatter and he'll just start screaming. I'm a passionate guy.

No, Hank gave me a job. Yeah, but in that job, there have been moments where you're like, I wish he'd never gave me this job. Yeah, but there's nothing that's been that serious. And then looking back, it's just always overblown. Yeah. Yeah. Which falls back on an anger problem.

Wow, I gave that to you, Meme. Four wins. We're going four wins this week.

21.
