Stop please the episode will start in a moment I’ve messed up the audio I don’t know what’s going on I’ve fixed it to the best of my ability um how it sounds is like this bothers me a lot this bothers me a lot because to me like I think the

Episode is listenable if you don’t think it is I apologize uh because I understand like how some people are with audio if it’s a certain level of bad they’re just like I just can’t do this for an hour tot get it that’s why I’m upset

Um so I did my best maybe I’m taking this too seriously okay enjoy the episode the audio is Bad good morning good afternoon whatever time of day it is that you are listening folks thank you very very much for listening day today is the 8th of January year of ourl 2024 welcome to yet another edition of the coping hour hosted by Nicholas inle rip Arthur Smith

Rip King no longer has a job in Atlanta I got to tell you I don’t I I I gotta address I just gotta put it out there I’m upset I’m cranky because I just recorded the best eight minutes I’ve ever recorded to open a show I was just on it immediately and

Wouldn’t she know it uh the mic was not plugged in switching shame on me for switching around USBS as much as I do and for being as cable obsessed as I am I have so many cables and cords and microphones and [ __ ] that I can just plug into different stuff for no reason

For no reason at all and the problem with that is sometimes I’ll just unplug my mic just to like plug in something and then be like oh that was cool and then I’ll unplug and so well well well if it isn’t the consequences of my actions sometimes the microphone’s not plugged

In so let’s get back into it Arthur Smith no longer has a job if I’m a Falcons fan what am I thinking right now oh my God Kyle pittz has a career again oh my God okay Drake London is GNA have a career yes it was it was in question

Sometimes we weren’t so sure all the time didn’t always he get the ball a lot but he’s going to be okay all right thank God got to get this quarterback thing sorted out but bejan Robinson 70 something odd yard touchdown against the Saints that looked pretty cool that was

Fast as hell that looked awesome Bon nice that looked awesome but we got to get this quarterback thing figured out right I think it’s Justin Fields I do I’ve been putting this stealth word out there for so long I have to do it in secrecy because Bears fans don’t seem to

Like it Falcons fans I don’t know maybe they’ve warmed up to it but they have never seemed to like it whenever I’ve tried to kind of poke at it throw it out there they’re like no shut the hell up we’re happy with Desmond Ritter I don’t think you are anymore not that many

Falcons fans were really ever that psyched about Desmond Ritter to be fair whatever here’s the problem in Chicago right oh my God I’m sorry I have to derail myself I got to tell you something I gotta tell you this was it a diner the other day Stella’s Diner for my Chicago listeners

It was Stella’s Diner on Broadway right off of Belmont so it’s up there right and this guy and this woman were sitting right behind me I swear to God I think they were on a first date like based on what the surrounding dialogue to this was I think it just this had to

Be what it was and he sat there and bulldozed for 20 minutes talking about so if the Bears beat the Packers on Sunday then the Bears probably won’t go to the playoffs but the Packers also won’t go to the playoffs and then also it would be good because the bears actually own

Carolina’s draft pick this year and the Panthers are going to be playing the Bucks and there’s no way that they’re going to win uh spoiler alert he was right they did not they lost n to nothing barn burner in Carolina and that would be good because

We own their pick and they already have the first uh pick and also uh we’ll see what happens with Justin Fields but this is a big game for dude he was doing this for like 20 minutes and she’s sitting there like oh wow like so what does it mean to own their

Pick like what does that mean I was like this poor poor woman maybe I was reading too much into it maybe I got a bad read on the situation and they were like I don’t know old friends or something catching up but the vibe was like they

Had there was it was it was very first day Vibes and I felt horrible that I was I just couldn’t stop listening to this conversation my girlfriend was like trying to talk to me and I was like I’m sorry please stop talking to me I need to listen listen to what they’re talking

About so I want to know how that guy’s feeling right now cuz if you’re a Bears fan what do you want to do with Justin Fields it seems to be like a 50-50 split from what I’ve seen based on the surrounding dialogue right I think you trade him to Atlanta I

Don’t know and then it’s like literally take your pick whatever quarterback you want there are literally a hundred of them in this in this draft you can take however many of them you don’t even have to take one now you can just trade the pick again if you really want to you can

Trade the pick you can trade down kind of early you can trade down late if you want there are a million quarterbacks in this draft who play a million different ways you can take whoever you want it’s a dream scenario for the Chicago Bears a true a24 sponsored by

Nicholas Cage scenario if you know what I mean that was a real bummer of a game though did Matt eberl kind of save his job sneaky are we talking about Matt EO like he actually might still have a job J next year what’s the temperature on

That what’s the read on that and maybe this will age terribly I mean of of all days to be doing a does this guy still maybe have a job this is a bad day to be doing it because at any moment truthfully I should be like refreshing

This I mean Ron Rivera just got fired to tr I should be refreshing this as I’m doing this um but I feel like maybe he did just because if you think about how we were talking about the Bears you know 10 weeks ago we were talking about them as like one of the

Worst teams of the last like 20 years remember that game after the Broncos it was the Broncos game I think compared to now we’re talking about them almost kind of having like a what the Lions did last year not as good to be fair not as good but it’s

Similar and I think you got to give eberl credit for that and I think there’s a world where he is still the guy but we’ll see Trey Justin fields to Atlanta let’s talk about the playoffs a little bit Matthew Stafford’s coming home I don’t think there are a lot of

Ways to describe this other than like sometimes Sports you know at the risk of sounding like that [ __ ] guy sometimes Sports happen in a way that is like what like how did this happen it’s like a if you told me at the beginning of the Season that this was

Going to happen I would be like haaha haha good script right but like anyways to put a proverbial bow on what has been the most win-win and successful trade in the history of the NFL this Jared Goff for Matthew Stafford swap the Rams a couple years ago put all

Their chips in the middle they’re like we need the quarterback we just need a guy playing playing at a at at a different level in a different way they went and got Matthew Stafford they went house broke basically but they won the Super Bowl and that’s why you do it okay

At that point who cares we we achieved it we did it who cares who cares what happens remember how we were talking about the Rams a year ago well who cares you know they went all in they got the Super Bowl they’re having to they’re stripping everybody for parts you know

What I mean they’re getting anything that they can they’re shedding money however they can like it’s over but they won the Super Bowl so who cares beginning of this season the Rams are winning a few games here and there and we’re talking about them like they played a game against the Colts Matthew

Stafford all banged up gets hurt like comes back and we’re talking about like wow the Rams are really Scrappy like good for them like good for the Rams trting them like they’re like a make a wish kid that’s Aaron Donald that’s Cooper Cup who’s who’s that 17 who’s that seven

Is that puka is that puka naua you know what I mean and and by the way that quarterback is still Matthew Stafford he’s still that Gunslinger you know what I mean it’s still him and to have him come back to Detroit to a Jared golf Le team that

Just led to a uh the team to more wins than Matthew Stafford ever got with them to a division title that Matthew Stafford never got for us to come back to that environment Matthew Stafford hasn’t played in Ford Field since he left we’ve played the Rams but that was in

Sofi that was two years ago the Lions had won like three games that year right DeAndre Swift was still here which should be fair that wasn’t even that long that was a year ago that’s not that’s not that crazy of a reference but Matthew Stafford has not played in

Detroit yet and his first game back will be the first home playoff game in the history history of fordfield almost the house that he built that he and Calvin built to be fair to be fair because that’s the thing to me Matthew Stafford is Detroit sports to me

It’s that guy the Mount Rushmore would be like Stevie take your pick from like the going to work guys right Isaiah Thomas I would put Matthew Stafford on there and then like Miguel you’d have to put Miguel on there and then I’m I’m definitely leaving somebody out and it’s

Going to be insane Who Am I who Am I who am I forgetting but like Matthew Stafford to me oh well Calvin people would put Calvin instead of Matthew Stafford right which honestly statistically would make more sense but to me it’s Matthew Stafford he is like

I’m obsessed with him I love him [ __ ] love Matthew Stafford this is gonna break my heart truthfully this is going to rip me to Pieces when this happens win or lose right win or lose and for all tons of purposes I think we’re going to

Win I think it’s going to happen I want to tell you something about the Lions and I’m saving This truly this I’m going to repeat this a little bit if we lose in the playoffs at any point I will repeat this point so maybe in a week I’ll be doing

This truthfully I have appreciated every moment of this season I have and there’s no like but like that’s it I have done such a good job of being like this footb team is the best they have ever been if not just in my life than literally ever the best that they have

Ever been I’ve never known what it feels like to have a football team this good and football like runs our culture right this is like what the almost everybody knows like oh yeah like when I was grown up or like almost everybody has like one experience even if it’s not I’m not even

Just talking about Super Bowls like I’m talking about just a good team like you went to a you made it to like the divisional round or something right just something you got a playoff win just something there was one season David Gard did something you know what I mean

Like I don’t know everybody has that one season we had nothing we had nothing our seasons were oh yeah I remember going ow and 16 I remember that yeah I remember everybody loves to show the video of Matthew Stafford getting his shoulder dislocated against the Cleveland Browns in like 2010 or 2011

Right and he’s like no get the [ __ ] off me I can play I can play and he still throws the touchdown and we win everybody loves to to show that clip that game was blacked out people in the state couldn’t even watch the game I was watching it on like

The ESPN like tele like stat cast where it would like throw the ball like there would like be an animation when there was a pass and then if that would run but like you couldn’t watch the game it was just like a it would just type out

Like this is the play that just happened that’s how we had to watch that and I read like Matthew Stafford throws a touchdown pass and I ran outside to my brother and to our friends who we were all playing outside and I was like we did it like Matthew Stafford do the but

We didn’t know anything about that which is crazy which is crazy he was my childhood and at the risk of continuing to go off track and you know derailing this you know what people forget I think in like the parad of of like Detroit sports fandom is how much like Verlander ran this

[ __ ] for like a while and I think it’s because we’re so far removed from it but my favorite thing growing up truthfully everybody that I ever knew that met Verlander that bumped into him in public they all said the exact same thing he’s a [ __ ] [ __ ] everybody said the same thing

That they were like hey like they anybody approached him in in any in a myriad of different ways it was never about that he was always just like don’t [ __ ] talk to me get away from me leave me alone and there’s something about that that you respect and there’s something about that

That you’re like all right dude like not all the time right like not all the time can’t always be like this whatever maybe you can maybe you can always be like that if you want I don’t know Matthew Stafford’s coming home um the game against the Vikings do I

Have any like brief takeaways nah who cares my main takea away when I talk about how I appreciated every single game truthfully I was very conscious of the fact that this is the last game I’ll be able to watch this season where it’s okay if we lose because now if the Lions lose

It’s over just a few more NFL notes that I got for you in the chamber one that I was kind of cooking all year that I’d like to unchamber now officially I’d like to unveil it I’d like to cut the ribbon uh we’ve played 18 G sorry 17

Games this year we’ve watched 18 weeks worth of tape I think Sam Hollow is just kind of good and it really paints me to say is somebody who has historically said that North Carolina quarterbacks cannot play in the NFL because they have not um even though there are currently

Two and there are about to be three as another one is set to be drafted inside of the top five you think seven top seven I don’t know we’ll see how it shakes out Sam how was just good and he was playing a Cowboys defense in yesterday’s

Game a shame on me for believing for two seconds that between the Giants and the commanders they would be able to each upset their respective opponents and the Cowboys and the Eagles and then the Lions will be able to get the two seed shame on me for believing that because

Mich comp Parson has a pulse and and uh it was never going to happen it was never going to happen right but Sam Howell for so many games this year was good for like 300 yards and just from that sense like he kind of got me through some fantasy weeks where

I was like I just need something I just need a miracle and he kind of got me there some weeks so am I talking strictly from a fantasy perspective um not not necessarily just fantasy but like just a from a yak Merchant perspective he’s not even really a yak

Merchant though he’s not that type of quarterback that’s more like Brock pie but again just to be clear I forgot we have new listeners to the show uh when we call somebody a yak Merchant on this show that is a good thing you’re a point guard you get the ball to your

Playmakers in space that’s a good thing we do not disparage you for that on this show what else did we have in the chamber today well not today but yesterday yeah the Eagles game was just insane I mean at least the Eagles collapsed late enough into the season uh

That they still got into the playoffs like you could at least you weren’t the Jags you know what I mean and you collapsed too late or I’m sorry too early and then and at the 11th Hour you just needed to win a game against the Titans and you were

Like no no not going to do that no I don’t really feel like it watching Red Zone after the Lions game was hilarious shout out to Scott Hansen man I’m so sad that red zone is gone until September like oh no Scott Hansen until September what is he G to

Do is he employed gainfully until then Scott Hansen but he was funny because we’re switching back and forth between games that quote unquote matter between the the Eagles game the Cowboys game uh and the Packers Bears game right sometimes they’d flash to the Chargers Chiefs game but eventually even they kind of turned

Off they were like we don’t need to keep showing this dude they didn’t show show Raiders Broncos until like the second quarter I didn’t even know it was on and then at some point they just kind of had to show that game and I was like oh

Thank God we’re seeing this game because the the stakes here truly could not be higher in Las Vegas folks oh my God thank thank God we have this game even the the Chargers Chiefs game was technically meaningless there was literally nothing going on in that game

Except Blaine Gabbert at the end of that game scrambles for like 20 yards huh I love that bla Gab is also still wearing like the original Revo Speed he’s not even he won’t even put on a speed Flex he’s like no I wore this helmet at Missouri I’m GNA [ __ ] die in this

Helmet I’m going to be [ __ ] buried in this helmet this is what I wear anybody who still rocks the like original revos speed shell is such a Hardo even did Tyron Matthew switch I don’t remember what he wears now but I feel like he’s switched at since like he hasn’t worn the the

Original honey badger in a while I don’t remember what he wears now though I think this conversation maybe is a little bit too alienating for people to be talking about helmets I’m going to keep doing it though because I haven’t really done it on this show I think it’s funny that

Tua essentially got a helmet made specifically for him because he just couldn’t stop getting concussed and then it just kind of became quarterback fashion in the the VIIs that he wears I also love the 808 the little bend that the face mask has with with the 808 that

He oh my God I love that so much shout out to Marcus Mariota for popularizing the 808 I don’t think he technically invented it but he was like the first person of note I’m pretty sure to wear it right and then after that and then Baker was I

Guess technically the second one the second like big boy to wear it second Heisman winner to wear the 808 yeah I think so wow this conversation this this you know what this segment kind of didn’t go the direction that I wanted it to go but uh if you appreciate

Helmet discourse in football that one was for you let’s get out of here let’s move on all right let’s get into some emails uh coping hour Subs gmail.com is the email subject line Cade injured we back Manic from Kendall happy 1:00 a.m. Kate injured so it’s time to blow this

Thing up can Detroit dead beats trade Jaden and Monty Williams for scoot Henderson and chony Bops is this possible fire Troy Weaver hire Sam pry it’s the only way to save you sha for MVP Monty Williams commits yet another heinous act of malpractice yeah Kendall

This email is insane I got to take for you if kade’s going to be out for a really really long time which we don’t know as of this recording again I keep bringing things up that might age poorly we will know very shortly if kade’s going to be okay or not we just

Might not within the duration of this recording but if he’s going to be out for even two weeks this thing’s going to get ugly this thing’s going to get really ugly if Kate misses any time at all [ __ ] is g to go bad I’m looking at a Lakers team hear me

Out now hear me out you may already know where I’m going but hear me out I’m looking at a Lakers team that hates their coach the Lakers are like a week away from a mutiny against dervingham I suggest and again stay with me don’t get ahead I

Suggest that we take Monty Williams and we put him somewhere else so to speak we say Monty Williams you are a pretty decent coach when you’re just like a babysitter when you’re just like managing Egos and like you have Chris Paul well what if we gave you LeBron

Instead what if we gave you LeBron and like Austin Reeves and like cam radish oh and then also Anthony Davis will be there too does he have pre-existing beef with Anthony Davis I don’t remember if there was what the overlap was with New Orleans so forgive me if I’m forgetting

Something there surely there’s history though what if we did that and what if the and what happens with Darin ham shoot him into the sun hey he’s a Pistons Legend I don’t know do you want Darin ham hey whoa destroy Weaver like that just bring in a former piston to

Like bring back that like go into work I don’t know I’m just spitballing here okay if you don’t even want to keep Monty Williams don’t promote Jarrett Jack for the rest of the season if you want for all I care I don’t whatever who cares promote Johnny Kane for all I

[ __ ] car that’d be sick Johnny Kane is the head coach smooth Johnny I’d like that smooth Johnny for Coach 2024 there are ways around this there are ways to make things better I think I’m a little concerned though um because again if if we if we don’t have

Cade was a strained knee was the official official report if you don’t have him for a month dude we’re staring down the barrel of another losing streak like we might we had an emailer a week ago I think they were they were talking from a bobcat’s perspective when

They were rooting for the what the seven and 57 team and they were like just so you know you’re probably going to have another losing streak this long again this season like between the allstar break post like this is going to happen again and even though I read it on the show in

My head and I didn’t end up saying this because I didn’t want to be rude but I was like that’s dumb like no we’re not like the odds of that happening are just it’s not going to happen well I’m really glad I didn’t say that now and it’s very

Big of me to admit that I’m that I didn’t say this before because I’m still not saying it that that was dumbb because now I’m like oh my God that’s going to be us you know nobody’s walking through that door dude that OG and anobi trade terrified

Me it didn’t just confuse me even more on like how we value trades and like who actually okay so wait what’s valuable now what is like more valuable now between the picks and the players and the I don’t know it confuses me not only that what I can tell you is

Even if I’m confused and a little bit disillusioned by that what I can tell you is Detroit just doesn’t have enough like the price went up and we’re [ __ ] we’re getting killed by inflation whatever Detroit needs to expend to land somebody that can come in here and fix

This like we don’t have it we’re turning out our pocket we’re turning our Pockets inside out like dust Pock like dust [ __ ] plumes are coming out we got nothing cobwebs and [ __ ] we’re like sorting through like coins and [ __ ] in our hand and there’s like buttons and like we’re like I got

I’m not good for it I don’t have it can I have a Lori Markin in and the Jazz like what kicking us off the fcking doorstep down the stairs the Pistons don’t got it man they don’t got it subject line Celtics fastball coming to us from Nick H

Actually not a burner email it’s a picture of Darius Garland on the profile so obviously it’s not me obviously it’s not me Darius Garland here’s the problem no I can’t read the email I’m not going to blame it on How It Was Written I’m not going to

Do that because that would be lesser of me but I would if I could but I won’t so I I can’t but Nick wants me to talk about the Celtics so I’m going to talk about the Celtics if finally happened we got to the Celtics part of the coping hour

Took 18 episodes but we’re going to talk about Boston because here’s the thing I love them I love the Celtics I do I don’t actually as like an entity and as a team as organization I don’t but the guys that they have on that team love every single one of

Them I was reading an article that was like are the Celtics going to get five players in the All-Star Game nope no and they were like only a few teams historically have ever gotten four and then they just they rattled off a few and didn’t name the Pistons oh whoops

Whoops glaring omission of history there glaring suppression of history there the score sorry I don’t want to defame the score I don’t remember who wrote it I don’t remember who wrote it I’m sorry the score I don’t think it was you guys but here’s the thing Derek white yes

Derek white yes Allstar has to be this year has to be an Allstar this year abs absolutely has to be what are these articles coming out why is it what [ __ ] interview did Derrick White give that well I know what interview he went on JJ rects podcast but did JJ lead with

Hey has anyone ever given you some advice and now every article that I’ve seen about Derrick White in the last like three days has been like Derek white shares advice that he got from Greg papovich and Greg papovich was like make sure you giving everybody towels in

Water Derk white was like that’s really good advice okay I’m going to do that Spurs Legend gave everybody towels and water and then Derek Weiss Derek white recalls great advice that he got from dear Rosen and Derek white was like getting discouraged that he was de like

He was putting a hand up and dudes were just like hitting [ __ ] over him and dear was like these dudes are good I don’t know what to tell you is the real quote is the real [ __ ] quote DeMar rosen was like I don’t know what to tell you

Derek white was like yeah these guys are good and then he was like it just clicked like dudes are going to make shots which is admittedly really technically good advice really funny advice really hilarious way to frame it um but I’m but he’s been great like offensive Renaissance season for Derek

White he’s been awesome Jason Tatum World eater Jason Tatum to me is still like I’m never going to be able to say that he’s the best player in the league because Giannis has a pulse yic has a pulse there are some nights where in be I’m like

Whoa but when Jason Tatum is at the helm here’s what I know about the Celtics I trust them which is funny because I think that’s actually part of this email I think this how he closes it where he’s like I don’t trust the Celtics it’s funny because there are like two teams

In the East that for some reason it’s something about them I’m just like I know they’re going to be fine it’s Boston and it’s Milwaukee like I can sit here and I you know what I’d love to say about Milwaukee is like like they’re never going to lose in

The first round like I know they’re at least always good for a what is it a quarter finals the second round they’re always was good for the second round they’re not sneaky they’re not though right don’t put Miami in front of uh Milwaukee in the first round of the

Playoffs would be the joke here here’s the thing you know who that is this year it’s Indiana if I’m Milwaukee not to take this off of Boston for a second but if I’m Milwaukee am I looking at the Pacers and I’m like please God nothing scares me but that thing

Terrifies me like do not put the paces they just match up horribly against Indiana I think actually as of this recording on Monday I’m pretty sure Boston plays Indiana tonight so that one will be interesting but here’s the thing The Natty on tonight I have to watch the national championship game

Sorry but I trust them I trust the Celtics and Jaylen Brown here’s a Jaylen Brown Spiel probably the smartest dumb guy in the league has to be I love when he just will post [ __ ] on his story where he’s like I am going to become the universe and everybody’s like wow wow

Jaylen Brown what a crucial intellectual mind that we have in jayen brown and it’s like is this what happens when you take one semester of like [ __ ] anything at Cal Berkeley is you turn into this guy oh my God what happens if you’re there for like a full bachelor’s

Jesus there have been plenty of times in my life where I’m like wow what a profound thing to say Jaylen Brown like he’s said I he said some [ __ ] but then there are other times where he’s like I the grass I am the I I am

A I’m like okay what the [ __ ] okay Jaylen Brown kristofh porzingis here’s the thing about him I don’t even actually have a joke about him uh it’s more of like actual commentary is after the game that they played against the Pistons which may have been like one of the best games of

The Season by the way like in the NBA honestly it may have been went to overtime people who were at the game it was like they got it as like probably just like a [ __ ] Christmas like hey the Pistons are coming to town like tickets are $10 you want to go to this

Game yeah sure why not I think we even got an email about that actually where a guy was like we literally went because like who cares and then because they were playing the Pistons and they’re in the middle of this huge streak it like kind of became this fun thing for them

And then it turns out that ended up being a huge game you know why it was a huge game Kristof porzingis and I don’t remember who it was but after the game they were like that’s why the Celtics have Kristof porzingis is because of games like that right to be that big and

To be able to blow by anybody and to be able to shoot over the top of most anybody is insane he’s so good man he’s so good it’s wild like the just sort of narratively what his career has been because you know ultimately on this show

That’s what we care more about is the narratives of people’s career instead of what it the actual um um perpetuity of it the Celtics are fun but here’s the thing is if if if they go up against Milwaukee in the playoffs nah you know what sneaky

Though I don’t want to do this I’m taking the Bucks we might be approaching a time where I need to introduce a segment called emails that I’m not going to read and it would be headlines it would be headlined by ones like this from Devon subject line LeBron and bronny

Shower ble now I’m not going to read to you this sick fanfiction that this guy wrote in but it’s Hefty there’s a lot to it and he’s basically emailing in about like the NBA circle jerk adjacent what’s going to happen when LeBron and bronny are on the same

Team are they going to I’m not reading that [ __ ] on the show I’m not I’m not reading your sick fan fic on the show freak um there’s another one in here I’m really trying to find it yeah from Elliott Elliot subject line Caitlyn Clark hey Nick I am gonna read this full

Email because I swear to God he’s being serious I know he’s being serious hey Nick big fan of the show I have a quick question for you which I see online since so far it’s legal for the NBA to draft women it’s done it before do you think an NBA team should

Consider drafting Caitlyn Clark she looks like an offensive machine and in terms of height and weight looks to be a similar build to Trey young even if you had to hide her on defense surely that would be enough for at least a second round pick curious to hear your thoughts

Thanks Elliot I don’t know maybe he’s not being serious I love the idea that like I I just love the idea because it but they would have to be a camera on her somewhere like in like a WWE like a like a [ __ ] sheet comes up

And Caitlin Clark is like in The Green Room actually she was in Disguise as like an NBA player the whole time she knew she was going to get drafted because just the shot and people would people would like she would come out on the [ __ ] stage and it would be

Caitlin Clark shaking at if it was in the second round she would be shaking Mark Tatum’s hand right the people oh my [ __ ] god it’s kayin Clark whoa oh my God and then she just goes to like the Hornets and she’s out of the league in

Three years not cuz she was bad just cuz she played for the Hornets I’m sorry Hornets fans pulling up in this video like the [ __ ] 50 Cent mean like I just woke up what do you say [ __ ] me for I’m sorry Hornet fans you’re right I could have easily

Made that joke about the Pistons if it makes you feel any better I just didn’t because that’s my team I could have made that joke about the Wizards too you know who I can’t make that joke about the Orlando Magic and in years past I easily could have in years past I probably

Did because we were in the same boat we were on the same level we could make fun of each other we were in it together and then Orlando is like we’re going to go be good now like you guys have fun here Detroit we’re the Orlando

Magic we have Paulo now we have the Vagner now Co Anthony yeah he cut his hair ever [ __ ] heard of him he cut his hair we’re going to go be good now and me as a Detroit fan I was like please don’t please don’t do this they were like it’s too

Late it’s too late it’s the middle of December and we’re really [ __ ] good we’re really good all right fine Orlando what do you think we should do and Orlando’s like draft Caitlyn Clark I don’t know let’s move on I got an email at some point last week I don’t remember if I

Made an individual video or if I wore this hat in like a pod I don’t remember when I wore this hat but I wore this hat for something that I uploaded somebody emailed and they were like about some it’s like the Chiefs or the Tex something about football and they were like

P.S your hat like are you into like some environmental like what then I was like no my God oh my God no oh my God no no this is just from a TV show and if you don’t know what TV show is from it’s called The Curse It’s on Showtime you’re probably

Thinking I don’t have Showtime what the fck who has Showtime that’s fine it’s actually very readily available to illegally stream uh which I am not encouraging you to do by the way I’m actually I’m only pointing that out just to say um I’m pointing it

Out as like a matter of fact like whoa wow it’s like maybe is it too easy to illegally stream this whoa whoa we shouldn’t take it away just yet maybe we should at this point if people the episode’s already out people have probably already downloaded like it’s already out it’s already happened we

Might as well you know the finale is this Thursday we might as well just let the people illegally stream it for like one more week and then after that maybe we can look at it or something dude I saw I was reading this thing um like six months ago at this

Point that was like the government is going to get pressured to crack down on some of these uh streaming sites and I will never be the one who says the name of them uh on camera into a microphone I’ll never be that guy I say that I’m

Also the guy who will say it in in quote unquote private when I’m around my phone and it’s well but the government’s not going to [ __ ] listen to my this one’s already going off the rails and I feel like I’ve said too many paranoid things recently although I will say I give

Pistons fans a lot of credit because Troy Weaver and Kade Cunningham going on the W podcast did not cause nearly as much [ __ ] as I thought it was going to so I am crazy then so now I am crazy for uploading the video that I did okay kind

Of makes me I’m GNA be honest I’m GNA zag here that makes me feel better that I am the only one who saw that because that means that it’s nothing good that means that it’s nothing and that I was reading too much into it and I was being too online but that’s okay

Because as I said at the beginning of that video that’s what I do that’s what we do around here Folks at the coping hour I also think I found like such a perfect I I give myself a little bit of flak for naming the show sort of as

Haphazardly as I did like I just kind of I made a joke a couple weeks ago about a guy who was wanted some advice uh and he emailed into to the show he was like I’m going to be starting a podcast in 2024 and I was like that’s such a that’s very

Planned life that you live like when I started the show it was because I had the idea that day technically like not really I had been doing tests for something I knew I was going to be doing something so I’ve been testing a bunch of microphones and cameras and different

Uh like [ __ ] and OBS and whatnot um and and like Da Vinci um for weeks for weeks and like rehearsing and stuff and then the day that I started doing the show I just kind of woke up I was like yeah I’m just doing it today and then I was like

Oh yeah I have to name it and I’ll do a whole bunch of stuff and the coping hour just came up it just kind of happened I say all this to say I kind of it was kind of a very happy accident because 90% of the show if you listen to it is

Literal cope me talking about Kade and me talking about the Pistons and me talking about the Lions and I did that subconsciously you’re probably like yeah obviously no I did that on accident that just worked out I can’t believe how well that worked I started this segment to uh do a

Whole spiel about the curse and it’s it’s snowballed into something else it’s monoculture that nobody is watching there’s your take I think it’s must see television that nobody is watching I think it’s the best television show that I’ve ever seen in my [ __ ] life I

Swear to God in my life I love it I would recommend it to anybody I will say if you do plan on watching it um there are two penises in the first episode so if you can make it past that I’m just giving you that’s the only we

Do not do spoilers on the show for anything but I will tell you that and then uh there isn’t another one until like episode six or something so that your penis free for a few episodes and then after that so far we’re good one more episode to go so far there have

Been no other penises well technically there was a whole thing with like a magazine one of the characters was bunch of penises right hey it happens it happens it’s a TV show it’s HBO basically it’s a24 it’s a24 a24 the new HBO is kind of the is

Kind of the worry maybe the concern which would mean that this proverbial golden age uh has passed with a24 as they sort of pivot away from wanting to uh distribute these like art housee indie films they’re like no we want [ __ ] Blockbusters baby and then this trailer for civil war comes out and

You’re like you if first you see Alex Garland for years we knew he was making this movie finally get the trailer and we’re like oh whoa this is like a big Alex Garland movie like this is not the Alex garland that we are used to like

His movies I don’t want to say they’ve gotten smaller because it was exmachina first right exmachina Annihilation men n the scale of those movies like eh it’s kind of all over the place Civil War looks like it’s huge and that they finished filming this movie like damn near two years ago they

Finished filming it the or they started filming it the month that men came out right they were done filming this movie like a year and a half ago and people were like why why is this taking so long and he was like CGI then I remember

Being like what even when Bo is afraid came out people were like why did this take so long to come out and Ari Aster was like CGI and people were like what and then they saw it and they were like oh it was the big penis oh sorry I said we don’t

Do spoilers and then I spoiled something maybe I’ll bleep that out I’m not going to remember to bleep that out sorry there’s a big penis in the movie well that’s not a spoiler I forgot I’m allowed to warn you if there’s a penis okay well then there’s a big penis

In not like a big I mean like a literal like a monster penis like like it’s a like the point is that the point is that it’s like a Scooby-Doo monster penis not like a monster [Laughter] penis let’s move on I’m just thinking about like what if we did like a community

List and it’s like if there’s a penis in the movie you have to put it on the list and so that way people know when they look at like if they’re like I want to watch this movie and they’re like oh but I’m watching it like with my parents and

I don’t if there’s a penis in it I don’t watch this oh wait there’s hold on I got I got a list for this and then they pull up the didn’t John mayor just come out and he was like my king isz when people are like oh John has a guy

For that and he I don’t remember what he called it a Rance Kink I think is what he said it was what the [ __ ] like when somebody if if you said like oh I need to know if if if this movie has a penis in it and John Mayor knew about this

Website about a list of movies and if it had a penis in it or not and someone goes oh JN knows a list that has like he would get horny I swear to God I I will I will will put the article somewhere on

The SC on the screen I swear to God he said this so maybe we with great power comes great responsibility if we’re gonna make this list John Mayor is gonna find out about it he’s gonna get horny I’m sorry Grandma I’m sorry Mom I’m sorry I’m sorry but this is I’m

Sorry I’m sorry all right let me wrap up the show if you are hey I’m editing for Rusty I don’t want to wrap up before I say this I’m editing for Rusty buckets now on his second Channel uh also Rusty buckets maybe I’ll link it in the description on YouTube I’m

Editing his videos now so it sucks I can already watch the first one and be like dude I can there are a million things wrong with this so I’m almost excited to get into the second one and then the next one and then the next one and then the next one

Uh because I can already tell with his videos similar to how I am with mine um the whole like what’s your favorite video mine is always the most recent one I made and then as soon as I upload another one the one before that literally means nothing to me like means

Nothing to me and I it doesn’t exist to me sometimes I’ll still read comments but as soon as the next video goes up I’m on to the next thing you know and that’s suddenly the thing that I’m most proud of um there are very few things

That I could look back on and have they’ve stood the test of time and uh you know are on like that mount Rush more of like I can look back and be like yes this is this is good content you know the Kate interviews up there the

Milwaukee videos up there um I could I could think of you know some other ones but for the most part um I’m excited for this uh for to to be editing his videos I mean I think it’s a good way for me to um creatively get some [ __ ] out while

Also doing something good um for somebody that I care about in Jacob so almost almost selfishly I guess maybe that’s a selfish thing to say but um even if it is [ __ ] it it feels great so all righty folks if you are listening to this on Spotify be sure to

Rate Five Stars if you’re watching this on the YouTube channel be sure to leave a like be sure to leave a nice comment for the algorithm maybe I’ll make some merch one day that’s like what should the merch say if I ever did because I always think

About it if I want to go like you know like like a me ISM a Motown Noah ISM like something fastball related or like I don’t know I don’t know something about January 6th something you know something January 6 adjacent something Scooby-Doo monster penus adjacent you

Know or do I just make it like the coping hour or like Mo you know what I mean do I just do something simple like that I think it’s funnier I don’t know which is better but I also never really know what the easiest way to do uh merch

Is also what the cheapest way is and one that is uh preferably free uh for me at least or like like as close to free as is humanly possible but I also just don’t really the whole merch thing isn’t really my style I’ve never done it when we did it

On the bun and cardigan show like it was usually James’s idea I was always really on board with it because I do love the idea of merch and I think the merch we did for bun and cardigan show was sick I have no regrets about it at all um but
