The Pat McAfee Show delivered a chaotic and entertaining hour, dissecting the Iowa-Iowa State football rivalry, engaging in heated roast battles, and even making a $10,000 bet on the Chicago Bears' season. The hosts also touched on golf rivalries and the peculiar use of laser pointers against geese.
Iowa State Stomps Iowa, Ignites Rivalry Fire on McAfee Show
The age-old college football rivalry between Iowa and Iowa State took center stage on The Pat McAfee Show this week, with the hosts dissecting the latest installment of the intense matchup. Following Iowa State’s recent victory over their in-state rivals, the energy on the show was palpable, highlighting the deep-seated animosity and the sheer elation felt in Ames after a hard-fought win.
“Iowa State beats Iowa and it’s the best day of your life,” one host declared, capturing the sentiment of the Cyclone faithful. “It’s all people that will go to Iowa State are going to talk about for the next year.” The flip side, of course, is the sting of defeat for Iowa, where a loss to their less-heralded counterpart is quickly forgotten by the Hawkeye fanbase. “Had Iowa win that game, guess what? You flush that [expletive]. We don’t care. And we’re not talking about it until we play you guys again next year.”
The conversation then delved into the specifics of the recent game, with one host noting that Iowa State, ranked 16th at the time, had to “scrap and claw to beat them by a field goal.” This, despite the opposing team playing “one of their worst games in the last 5 years.” The trophy, currently residing in Ames, serves as a potent symbol of Iowa State’s recent success in the series, having won the last two matchups.
From Gridiron Grudges to Roast Battles: The McAfee Crew’s Banter
Beyond the football fervor, the show featured a rapid-fire exchange of playful jabs and heated discussions, showcasing the unique chemistry of the McAfee crew. A particular point of contention arose between hosts regarding their hair, leading to a humorous back-and-forth. One host, seemingly inspired by another’s look, stated, “I told the guy when I was getting a haircut, I said, ‘I want to flare the black. I want to flare the black like my guy Connor.’ So, I’m going for your look.” The response was a playful plea to keep compliments private: “I appreciate that, but once again, what I was getting to, like if you want to compliment me, like just text it to me so I don’t have to respond and we don’t have to do this whole thing where like I turn into the bad guy.”
The discussion then shifted to the digital realm, highlighting a humorous mix-up on social media. A tweet involving a confusion between NBA star Draymond Green and former NFL player Darius Butler sparked a wider conversation about artificial intelligence and its current limitations. “AI still has a lot to learn,” was the consensus, particularly when it came to distinguishing individuals based on superficial similarities.
Golf, Gambling, and Geese: A Wild Ride Through Sports Opinions
The latter half of the show saw the hosts dive into the world of golf, particularly with the Ryder Cup on the horizon. One host expressed a strong, almost visceral dislike for Patrick Cantlay, stating, “I want to see miss the cut and get last place every single week. So, it’s going to be very hard for me to come back around and wish him success on Friday. I will. I’ll do it. But guess what? If he goes two down on the first two holes, oh mama, I’m going to be ruthless. I hate that guy.” The reasoning? “He takes forever to kill a [expletive] face. Yeah, he just Nothing about his game is compelling.” Despite the personal animosity, there was a grudging acknowledgment of his role on the team: “He better win every point for the US.”
The show also featured a high-stakes bet between Pat McAfee and a guest regarding the Chicago Bears’ upcoming season. “McAfee bet me 10 grand. I take the under. He takes the over. And the money’s going to charity,” it was announced, with the line set at seven and a half wins. The Bears fan, predictably, took the under, while McAfee, not a Bears fan, confidently opted for the over.
A quirky segment emerged concerning the use of green laser pointers to deter Canadian geese, leading to a discussion about their effectiveness and potential dangers. This evolved into a broader conversation about personal protection, with talk of high-powered lasers and their non-lethal applications. “I had no idea we were at this stage of weaponry,” one host remarked, pondering the implications of such technology.
The episode concluded with a bizarre sighting of a crab in the parking lot, sparking a rapid-fire exchange about its origins, whether it was a pet, or if it was connected to more macabre theories involving buried bodies. The sheer randomness of the event perfectly encapsulated the unpredictable and entertaining nature of The Pat McAfee Show.
