| 0:12.8 | We're back. We're back. It's this distraction. I'm Drew. That's raw. Are you doing Roth? |
| 0:17.7 | I'm good, man. How are you? I'm fine, dandy. There's actual, like, fall weather, and I got some shit for my birthday from my wife, like, outerwear that's not hoodies. |
| 0:28.1 | So it's like, this is my opportunity to quit my hoodie addiction. |
| 0:34.3 | Yeah. |
| 0:34.7 | I don't know how it's going to go. |
| 0:35.8 | It's just all going to be dry fit stuff now. You're going to dress like Matt Patricia at the gym. And I think that's good. I think that's a good look. She says she doesn't want me to dress like a coach anymore, which makes sense because I don't coach. Unless you count me shouting at the TV, like when Carson Wentz is holding on the ball too long, but that's not, that's not anyone's idea. It's a tough conversation. The day that your wife asks you to take the whistle off that you wear around the house all the time. Yeah. She doesn't even like the visor. God, what a tie-dance. This week, our guest is stand-up comic Eli Udn. Hello. He also hosts the podcast, What a Time to Be Alive, and Eli's special humble... |
| 1:14.4 | It's the only podcast that makes you say the name of the podcast. Eli's special Humble offering is free to watch on YouTube right now, and I watched it this past weekend and laugh my ass off. So, Eli, thank you so much for coming on the show. My pleasure. Thank you for watching my special and, you know, putting your valuable time into when you could be watching Carson Wentz, which I forgot that you're in the Carson Wentz experience right now. So enjoy that. Oh, yeah. You've also, you've also been there. You were there during his, like, yeah, but that's true. He has made a... Who hasn't fallen under the thrall of Carson Wins? Trying to be on the wrong side of the, but it might work for us, gag? Like, that's like half the NFL now. You could argue that Carson Wins was kind of Dan Snyder's last stand. Oh, man. Like, oh, okay, if we trade for... if we trade for the guy that the cults disastrously traded for |
| 2:04.9 | for Oh, man. Like, oh, okay, if we trade for, if we trade for the guy that the Colts disastrously traded for, things will work out. This is going to be the thing that turns it around. I felt bad for you saying like screaming at the TV for him to stop holding onto the ball. And I feel like with Carson Wentz, it's like a yelling at your dog or something. It's like it's just nature. Like, what do you want him to do except run around? He'll never know that that's not food. I do some games that I have no interest or no rooting interest in, I yell at the quarterback to get rid of the ball. That's all, and you know what I do? I yell, I just yell the word fast very loud. |
| 2:34.7 | I go fast, fast. Like, get rid of the ball fast. And then they get sacked and I'm like, oh, see? You fucked up yet again, loser. So I would have done. You got your stopwatch with the 2.5 seconds and you're like, now it's not the offensive line's fault. Now it's your fault. One thing that I've watched for with Wence since we had Dan McQuaid on, because McQuaid had, you know, as an Eagles fan, has the most extensive Carson Wence experience out of anyone. Yeah. And we basically challenged him to like say something nice about Carson Wence. And he was like, he's really good at intentionally underthrowing the ball on long passes to generate pass interference. Hey, that was me. I said that. Oh, what's that you? He actually is good at it, true. So hats off. Like, I'm in terms, I mean, I don't think he's intentionally underthrowing it or whatever. He is underthrowing it and it sometimes generates pass interference. So, like, here's to Carson Wentz on that. |
| 3:25.6 | As an Eagles fan, you could have just, just to be like, say something nice, period. And then, you know, that's already a challenge. All right, just a little NFCE. That's like when they did that at the fucking Clinton Trump debate where they're like, can you guys say something nice about one another? The entire, even the audience was like, |
| 3:40.8 | You are misreading the vibe in this room right now. |
| 3:44.7 | Can you bring back civility, please? |
| 3:47.1 | Would you guys? |
| 3:48.0 | Trump said some fucking shit about Hillary being a tough and talented woman. |
| 3:51.7 | And the thing that she said about him, that was nice, |
| 3:54.4 | the thing that she could come up with was you have great kids, which is really funny. |
| 3:59.3 | That that is like, and wrong. It's totally right. |
| 4:02.2 | It's not correct at all. It's the wrongest thing. You could have been like, you've done great on TV. And while I personally haven't watched your shows, it's hard to argue with the ratings. Instead, it's like great work with Eric. |
| 4:11.8 | Like Trump or not, the man knows how to raise a family. |
| 4:16.9 | We're always saying, what a family man. |
