• 3:01Speaker 00

  Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours. Today is Wednesday, August 5th and we lost PFT. Where did PFT go? I was looking, I was reading the ad.

• 3:15Speaker 03

  I was sure if you even saw it.

• 3:16Speaker 00

  I was reading the ad and I look up and PFT is gone and PFT is back. He's back. PFT, you're back. Just like football, football is back. Hard Knocks is back. PFT is back. We might lose them again, but listen, we're only doing 10 minutes on Zoom. The rest of the show's in studio. PFT football is back.

• 3:34Speaker 02

  We're locked in. The Jeff Bezos is the Al Gore's of the world. Don't want you to hear these takes that we've got about Hard Knocks. They're trying to limit our free speech. Um, Hard Knocks kind of sucks now, but that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all. It was great to see football is a hundred percent back. Um, the highlights for me, I have like two highlights.

• 3:55Speaker 00

  Yeah. Before you do the highlights, I couldn't agree more. Hard Knocks, I do not care about Hard Knocks anymore, but there's something about the first episode of Hard Knocks where it's seeing the guys in training camp. Sam Darnold did a whole thing about the, the pads cracking and hearing the music and just them saying the word football over and over. It really is the beginning of like, oh yeah, football is back. It's, it's, it's, it's like the first leaf falling off the tree. It feel, I can feel it coursing through your veins. Football is back. I'm not going to watch probably any more Hard Knocks, but I always watch episode one. That is our promise to you. And yes, go ahead. Give us your highlights.

• 4:35Speaker 02

  Now, my highlights were number one, Coach McDonald does have a son and his son does recognize him. And his son also, I keep an eye on him because this is a football guy in training. The only words that I think he can speak are football. Yeah. So that was, I think that was probably my highlight of the entire episode was his son, probably about like a year old, just watching football practice, pointing outside and just saying football repeatedly.

• 5:02Speaker 00

  And he's gonna be a brother. He's gonna be a big brother. So congrats to the McDonald's.

• 5:08Speaker 02

  Yeah, big bro. And two, it seems like Coach McDonald is almost like, almost like a therapist when he's in his coach's office. Or at least that's what they're showing to us. Like that long conversation that he had, they showed a couple of them. So yeah, he seems like a good coach. Not exactly what you dream up when you get in a lab and you try to figure out what coaches, what type of coaches do you want to see delivering that beginning of the season speech on Hard Knocks to get you really feeling like football's back. He's like a little too cerebral when it comes to that sort of thing. I would like to see, like he mentioned Rex Ryan, I would actually just like to see Rex Ryan giving the welcome back speech. Yeah. But overall, overall, like it's football. There was grass. There was

• 5:52Speaker 02

  a ball flying through the air. There was the sound of pads hitting. There was a linebacker showing up in the biggest truck I've ever seen. And they had the Blue Angels.

• 6:01Speaker 00

  Yeah. Do you know, you know what I like about Mike McDonald? He's human. Like you could tell he's a little bit awkward. He's a little uncomfortable talking in front of the, you know, like in front of a big crowd, the opening scene when they're getting their Super Bowl rings. By the way, I have a take. I think Super Bowl rings have gotten too big. Like, you can't even wear that. You can't.

• 6:25Speaker 02

  It's pretty much a glove.

• 6:26Speaker 00

  Yeah. It's not, it's like, I would rather have a Super Bowl ring that's really cool that you could wear all the time versus something that is, it was just insane. They're pressing buttons and shit. It's like a, it's like a Nintendo Switch on their finger.

• 6:40Speaker 02

  Yeah, we we've lost the plot on the Super Bowl rings. We need, we do need to dial them back because when they, I saw that ring, I saw the old ring. I thought to myself, the old Seahawks ring looks awesome.

• 6:50Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah. And wouldn't you want something you could wear? Yeah, you could wear it all the time instead of just like having it be so big that it doesn't even make sense. But yeah, Mike McDonald's, he's like a real dude. He's just, he seems like a real dude. The, the, the talk with, uh, with Nikki even Wara, uh, in the, in the, in his office was really cool. He mentioned the Rex Ryan when Rex Ryan said, this new hot shot coordinator is dog shit. Um, when he was dog shit to start his career. He just seems like a really good dude. And, uh, yeah, my highlights were bald eagles rocking. They had the bald eagle at the beginning. Uh,

• 7:28Speaker 00

  the, the, the coaches sitting in that room, just talking about, we got to get the pads on. We'll know, we'll find out when the pads are on. We don't know if this guy's good until the pads are on. I love that. That's supercut. Um, and then, yeah, he, and then I also wrote that he, I know, we now know he has kids. So that's it. That was Hard Knocks, episode one. Stella's now barking. This is, we're, we're having a whole show. Max, take it away while I let Stella out of my office. Take it away, Max.

• 7:58Speaker 03

  I had three notes. One of them was Rex Ryan. Uh, and I wanted to know, oh,

• 8:07Speaker 00

  suck drinking water. Stella's barking.

• 8:10Speaker 03

  On again.

• 8:12Speaker 00

  Die. You know what? Why don't we do this? Why don't we kick it to ourselves where we're in studio and we have a great show for everyone? We have like, what do we have? An hour and a half or no, two hours that we've already taped? How much do we have?

• 8:24Speaker 03

  Yeah, we're good. We're good. We're good.

• 8:26Speaker 00

  We have so much show. We've been doing show all day. Memes. What do we got?

• 8:30Speaker 04

  I, I kinda like this chaos beginning.

• 8:33Speaker 00

  I also realized, I also realized I just have like bedding behind me that because the national last week, Tony Scheffler slept over my house. So like I, this is just chaos everywhere. My stone cold Steve Austin thing is sick though.

• 8:45Speaker 03

  PFT's back, PFT's back.

• 8:47Speaker 04

  That vest is awesome.

• 8:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, vest is so sick. I don't know if everyone could see the vest, see that? And then you got my kids go mini golf clubs there. PFT, we're just gonna kick it to ourselves because we got Stella barking now. You keep cutting in and out. We've done like two and a half hours of great podcasting in studio today. So let's do it. Let's Hard Knocks season, episode one, I'm gonna give it a B minus. And it was also interesting that Hank didn't show up to this because he knew there was gonna be highlights of the Super Bowl.

• 9:13Speaker 02

  Hey Stella, how's it going Stella?

• 9:15Speaker 00

  All right, kicking to ourselves back in studio. Okay. We're gonna get right back to the show. Stella Blue Coffee's new can lattes are here.

Before we talk football, we're gonna have Jeff passing on to talk some MLB trade deadline. Does anyone have a winner? Max, how do you feel about the Phillies? I'm very excited for what the Cubs did. They went and said they were gonna get some arms. They got two starters, bullpen arms. Go for it. Don't be afraid of the Dodgers. Just fucking go for it. So good job Jed. Max?

• 10:33Speaker 03

  Uh, I wish I had the same opinion as you.

• 10:36Speaker 00

  You do not feel like you went for it?

• 10:38Speaker 03

  We did the same thing that Dave Dombrowski loves to do every single year, which is like, go for it a little bit, but not enough to really make a difference. But to be able to go back to the fan base and say, hey, look, I did this. We have all these good, we have all these good players. We should be playing better. I still think that we have a good ball, ball club to compete. And look, I did this one thing, but that one thing is not enough to compete against the Dodgers. In my opinion, we still, right now of Aaron Nola pitching in the playoffs as our fourth starter, who is not a major league pitcher right now. He is not a capable playoff pitcher.

• 11:13Speaker 00

  Who's he pitched for?

• 11:14Speaker 03

  He pitches for the Philadelphia Phillies.

• 11:15Speaker 00

  What league do they play in?

• 11:16Speaker 03

  They play in the National League.

• 11:18Speaker 00

  What? In the major leagues.

• 11:22Speaker 00

  He's a major league pitcher.

• 11:24Speaker 03

  He's statistically like, he's statistically the worst starting pitcher in baseball right now. And right now he's slated to start the our fourth starter.

• 11:32Speaker 00

  Yeah, you're right.

• 11:32Speaker 03

  Got it. I wish that he either just didn't do anything and just said, this team is not good enough to compete. We gave up our fourth best prospect, who I don't fucking know shit about prospects.

• 11:42Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 11:42Speaker 03

  But people that I, that I trust say that he was, he was on a track to be one of the best starting pitching prospects in baseball. And we gave him up for a guy who is good and he's going to make our lineup better. But our defense is now absolutely terrible. We're moving Luis Ariz to second base. Bryson Stott, our only plus defender to third base. Alec Bohm, who is atrocious at first base to first base. And Bryce Harper to the outfield. He hasn't played the outfield in years. So we just made our offense slightly better. Our defense, which is already the worst in the league, significantly worse. And we gave up a good prospect.

• 12:18Speaker 00

  The, the prospect thing.

• 12:20Speaker 03

  For him to say that we're, we're, look, look, look, we did this without really, really going all in.

• 12:25Speaker 00

  The part of the MLB trade deadline, giving up prospects, it's, uh, it's like, hey, I just hope I don't hear this guy's name in three years.

• 12:33Speaker 03

  You, that's what you're hoping for. Especially for a rental.

• 12:36Speaker 00

  Zach, did you see, I don't know if you saw, but Mo Baller got traded. I was a little upset about that.

• 12:43Speaker 03

  Where's he at?

• 12:43Speaker 00

  Uh, he got traded to the Angels.

• 12:46Speaker 03

  That's disheartening.

• 12:47Speaker 05

  I was looking forward to he was supposed to pop off the season.

• 12:48Speaker 00

  I know.

• 12:49Speaker 05

  The one and now he can never be the one.

• 12:51Speaker 00

  Cause Zach, when we went to, when Zach went to his first Cubs game, like early in the season, he was like, put me on to someone. And I was like, listen, I love Mo Baller. I think he's going to be, you know, he's, he's got a bad body, but he can hit the ball. He kind of fell off a little bit this year was, was struggling. They put, they sent him back down, then they traded him. So no longer a Cub. Maybe you're an Angels fan now.

• 13:10Speaker 05

  Yeah, maybe, maybe swap. I'm not sure.

• 13:12Speaker 02

  You're just a Baller fan.

• 13:13Speaker 05

  Yeah, I was a Baller fan and then he dropped and then some things went on and now he's moved on. So, yeah.

• 13:17Speaker 00

  I'm excited though. The Cubs finally like, I, I actually do think that, uh, Bruce Levine sending the tweet, twinkle D and twinkle dumb started, started a chain of, of events that the Cubs went and went all in for this trade deadline.

• 13:31Speaker 02

  They're like, we better do something. We better actually make the people happy because we're getting called out and people send, they, they seem to agree with the writer that was calling them twinkle D and twinkle.

• 13:39Speaker 00

  Twinkle D and twinkle dumb.

• 13:40Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 13:41Speaker 00

  Hank, are you happy?

• 13:42Speaker 06

  I'm excited. I mean, I know like I'm not, I'm not a 162er. I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I've been locked in on the Red Sox all year. Obviously this last month, greatest month in team history. And then they went for it at the trade deadline. Um, I've said it on the show before, the season doesn't start till the, you know, trade deadline ends. This is where you can make a run. They're mid run. I'm, I'm on the bandwagon and it's exciting.

• 14:03Speaker 00

  Yeah. I think the Rays did good. I mean, the Rays going for it too. Like Freddie Peralta, Liam Hicks, those are good, those are good trades for the Rays.

• 14:11Speaker 02

  The Yankees.

• 14:12Speaker 00

  Yankees.

• 14:12Speaker 02

  They're going for it.

• 14:13Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 14:15Speaker 02

  The Nats, it was, it was a good, I'll say this, I did not want to be a seller at the deadline, but, um, the most recent series against the Dodgers, getting, um, just getting your ass kicked, uh, or excuse me, against the Braves, getting your ass kicked four straight games. It makes it easier to become sellers. It's easy to say, okay, now I get it. Let's just say, fuck it, punt for next year. It does stay. I'm glad that we kept CJ Abrams. That was my one big worry that we would end up getting rid of him. Um, and I still do have that worry. And until I see an extension for him or James Wood, I feel like this, uh, the front office is not really prepared to, to commit to handing out big contracts. But, um, I guess we had a lot of. We got a lot of arms from all the guys that we dealt.

• 14:59Speaker 02

  Uh, Luis Garcia, if you're going to trade a guy like that, trade him in the middle of the best season of his career. Same with Curtis Mead, same with, uh, I mean, Forrest Griffin, great story, by the way. Forrest Griffin traded to the Guardians. He was pitching in Japan for like the last three seasons. And we brought him over, developed him a little bit, had the best season of his career. We're, we're able to trade him. Um, so all in all, um, it sucks being a seller, but at least, uh, if, if we go like two and two against the Braves. If we had split that series, then I would be sitting around being like, maybe we should go for it. Maybe we should add a couple. If you're going to go out, it's, it's good that we got swept and then, uh, and then last night we saw just like how bad that bullpen continues to be against the Phillies.

• 15:43Speaker 00

  I was kind of shocked. The, the Braves and the Brewers were the big teams. It's like, it didn't feel like they pushed. The, the, they have teams that are definitely championship caliber teams and they didn't go like big game hunting. So that one was a little confusing, but maybe they just think they have enough.

• 15:58Speaker 02

  Yeah, this, uh, there was one wild thing that came out from the Nats. They traded Luis Garcia to the Yankees. One of the guys they got, uh, for Luis Garcia was Jack Seabert. And then Jack Seabert's mom tweeted this out, uh, a couple of days ago. Her son had DM'd the Nationals back in 2015, uh, telling them, hey, trade for this kid. He's going somewhere.

• 16:22Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 16:23Speaker 02

  And then, uh, so his mom said, proud mom moment.

• 16:25Speaker 00

  That's tampering.

• 16:26Speaker 02

  Proud mom moment. Our son DM'd the Nationals when he was 13 years old. Yesterday they traded for him. Baseball is weird and wonderful.

• 16:33Speaker 00

  That's tampering.

• 16:34Speaker 02

  That he tampered with himself.

• 16:35Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 16:36Speaker 02

  That's why you got to keep an eye on your middle school boys.

• 16:38Speaker 00

  We're, we're going to, uh, Jeff Passan will, will break down more of the trade deadline. Let's talk some football before we get to hot seat, cool throne. We have, uh, Bijon got paid, big time paid. Uh, what was his 75 million? Three, uh, three year extension worth up to 75 million with 51 million guaranteed. That's pretty, it's pretty damn good for a running back.

• 16:59Speaker 02

  Yeah, the, I guess the zoom call worked.

• 17:01Speaker 00

  Yeah, that, that was a big one. Uh, someone else just got paid too, right? Well, I know, did we talk about Chris Alave the other day?

• 17:08Speaker 02

  I think we mentioned, yeah, Zay Flowers got paid today too.

• 17:10Speaker 00

  That's right.

• 17:11Speaker 02

  He got 140 million, uh, four years.

• 17:14Speaker 00

  Travis Hunter looks like he's a real man now. He wasn't a man before.

• 17:18Speaker 02

  He wants to play every snap on offense and defense this year.

• 17:22Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, he's, and then we have Kenny Pickett starting officially on Thursday night, which will be fun.

• 17:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, excited about that. It's football.

• 17:29Speaker 00

  Very excited. Okay. And then the other big news in the NFL, we finally got our QB tiers, our offseason tiers. This is from The Athletic. I think Mike Sando does it every year. And he basically talks to a panel of 21 executives, 29 coaches overall. Each voter's placed 35 veteran quarterbacks into five tiers from best tier one to worst tier five. And then he weights it all and spits it all out. And we have, so you guys stop me when you think that there's an issue. I saw a couple of issues that maybe come up for this show. Patrick Mahomes, number one, Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford tied at two, and Joe Burrow at four. That is tier one.

• 18:12Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:12Speaker 00

  I feel, I guess you could make an argument Lamar and Joe Burrow, like, hey, yeah.

• 18:19Speaker 02

  That was my, that was my issue.

• 18:20Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 18:21Speaker 02

  Joe Burrow, great quarterback. Love Joe. The league's better when Joe Burrow is healthy and playing football. In the last, let's call it like three, three years. I feel like, I feel like it's gotten to the point where we can say Lamar Jackson should be ahead of Joe Burrow. Cause we're doing a lot of like Joe, if all the stars align, Joe Burrow should be top four.

• 18:43Speaker 00

  I think, but Joe Burrow, two years ago, remember that year where he was, it was like 43 touchdowns, nine interceptions. He basically carried that terrible team and they started slow. He could have won MVP if they got in the playoffs. Their, their defense has just been so, so bad. There's that stat out there that like the, the teams. Basically any, Joe Burrow in games when his offense scores more than 30 points are like 30 and 15. And every other quarterback, when their offense scores more than 30 points are like 90% win percentage.

• 19:14Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 19:14Speaker 00

  So I'm okay with it. I think you go one way. I think maybe it's not, Joe Burrow shouldn't be in tier one. It's Lamar Jackson should also be in tier.

• 19:21Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 19:22Speaker 00

  And then so Lamar Jackson is. Is five, Justin Herbert, six, Dak Prescott, seven. That's a big jump from our, from our.

• 19:28Speaker 02

  Top seventeen last year.

• 19:30Speaker 00

  Yeah, fourteen.

• 19:30Speaker 02

  Well, last year he was seventeen, so that's a ten, a ten spot jump from a year ago and then big jump since just the Takey Awards.

• 19:36Speaker 00

  Yeah, uh, Drake May at eight, Jared Goff at eight, so they're tied. Jordan Love at ten, Brock Purdy and Caleb Williams tied at eleven. Jaden Daniels at thirteen, Baker Mayfield at fourteen, Sam Donald at fourteen, they're tied. Trevor Lawrence and then Jalen Hurts, that's tier two.

• 19:54Speaker 02

  Tier two is massive.

• 19:56Speaker 00

  Massive.

• 19:57Speaker 02

  Big tier.

• 19:57Speaker 00

  They made the whole plane out of tier two.

• 19:59Speaker 02

  Yeah, which is, I get it, um, but these are, they're all quarterbacks that have like, that are very talented with question mark. I'll tell you what, I don't want to admit this.

• 20:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, I agree. I actually agree with what you're about to say. I know what you're gonna say.

• 20:13Speaker 02

  Max, cover your ears.

• 20:14Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 20:16Speaker 02

  Max, cover your ears. I don't want you to hear this. I'm about to pay a compliment to somebody. I don't want you to have any evidence of it.

• 20:22Speaker 06

  Cover, cover them.

• 20:23Speaker 02

  Okay, thank you, Max.

• 20:25Speaker 06

  They're not covered.

• 20:25Speaker 02

  Okay, so Jalen Hurts.

• 20:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 20:28Speaker 02

  Is seventeen on this list.

• 20:29Speaker 00

  Disrespect.

• 20:30Speaker 02

  Jalen Hurts won, he, he beat Patrick Mahomes in a Super Bowl. He's been.

• 20:36Speaker 00

  Outplayed in two Super Bowls.

• 20:37Speaker 02

  It's the quarterback tier list.

• 20:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 20:41Speaker 02

  Not the running back tier, okay. Okay, I guess that makes more sense.

• 20:45Speaker 00

  I saw it and I was like, Jalen Hurts feels like he's too low and Sam Donald just won a Super Bowl.

• 20:49Speaker 02

  Right.

• 20:50Speaker 00

  I, that, that, that was a little confusing to me. But the tier two list is, the tier twos are the, like, the tier ones are, you win because of these guys. Tier two is, they can be that guy, but sometimes they're not.

• 21:03Speaker 02

  Right.

• 21:03Speaker 00

  That feels good. And then Bo Nix is in tier three.

• 21:06Speaker 02

  Hank, I, I got a question for you real quick.

• 21:08Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 21:09Speaker 02

  Drake May.

• 21:09Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 21:10Speaker 02

  He's tied for eight. He is, uh, two spots behind Justin Herbert. What are your thoughts?

• 21:16Speaker 06

  Herbert's been in the league longer.

• 21:17Speaker 00

  What about Dak Prescott?

• 21:19Speaker 06

  Also been in the league longer.

• 21:20Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 21:21Speaker 06

  Drake May is.

• 21:23Speaker 06

  Third year.

• 21:24Speaker 02

  But this isn't about like who's older. This isn't quarterback aged tiers.

• 21:30Speaker 06

  I mean, you like you, we saw with Jane Daniels, like you having one good year doesn't, you know, you gotta, you gotta prove it over time.

• 21:37Speaker 06

  Those guys have played well for, for more time.

• 21:40Speaker 02

  They are giving Dak a lot of credit this year. He did play really good last year and they've got C D and Pickens coming back, which is going to be massive for them. Would you, all things being equal, would you rather have a quarterback who is freshly engaged? A quarterback who is married or a quarterback who is divorced? Or just broken up, I guess for Dak.

• 22:05Speaker 06

  Married.

• 22:07Speaker 00

  I think freshly engaged, you're still trying to prove it. You know, you're not actually married yet. Right. Still trying to prove.

• 22:14Speaker 06

  Yeah, but you gotta do planning and it's like, you still gotta be like, if you're married, you don't have to work, you know? You're locked in, you can make, you take care of that. If you're engaged, you gotta. Planning and talking and it's a lot more that goes into it.

• 22:27Speaker 00

  Talking, a lot of talking.

• 22:28Speaker 02

  To your, to your significant other.

• 22:30Speaker 00

  Woman.

• 22:30Speaker 02

  Uh, sucks. Yeah, well, he's gonna go home and he's gonna have his.

• 22:34Speaker 06

  You know what I mean?

• 22:35Speaker 02

  Yeah, no, I hear you. Talking.

• 22:36Speaker 06

  Max bitching about his wedding for, how much do we have to hear about Max's fucking wedding last year? Like that's, that's what Justin Herbert's teammates have to.

• 22:43Speaker 03

  Talking about my life.

• 22:44Speaker 02

  Justin Herbert's gonna go home.

• 22:45Speaker 06

  I know, but that's what.

• 22:45Speaker 00

  They often say a marriage doesn't start till you stop talking.

• 22:48Speaker 02

  He's gonna, he's gonna put the playbook down when he goes home and he's gonna pick up the binder. The binder of things that he has to review, like all the decisions she made that day. He has to go through them and then pretend to have an opinion on all of them. It's gonna be exhausting for him. I think I would want, if you're just getting to the league. Single.

• 23:06Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 23:06Speaker 02

  And then after like, you get that second contract and then you get married.

• 23:11Speaker 00

  I, I, so the only other, uh. Note I had, well, there's two more. One, I know that we're biased on this show. We wear our bias on our sleeves. Tyler Shuck was 26th. I'd take him over almost everyone in front of him, like in that tier. Maybe not Bo Nix.

• 23:31Speaker 02

  Is Levis on there?

• 23:33Speaker 00

  Will Levis is not on the list, no. But I would, I mean Tyler Shuck, come on, he should be hired.

• 23:37Speaker 02

  Cam Ward is 25, but there's no Will Levis tied for 26. He's tied with Tua.

• 23:42Speaker 00

  But I feel like people didn't watch the games last year. If you have him tied for 26, yeah, like he's, I'd take him over the, the guys in front of him.

• 23:50Speaker 02

  I would agree. I, I think it's just again, a massive win for any Panthers fan out there. Bryce is 22. You would, if you were to say two years ago that Bryce Young would be listed as 22, you would probably be pretty pumped about that.

• 24:03Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 24:03Speaker 02

  Uh, and the fact that he's only like one and a half spots, two spots away from, from CJ Stroud. That's a big win for Panthers fans. Then Kyler is 23, nine is 34. I don't know how they did that. Like, do they have access to the depth chart? Is it, are they doing like proactive propaganda for Kyler Murray? I don't get it.

• 24:22Speaker 00

  It's, it's also crazy to look at CJ Stroud. I think 2024, he was the eighth ranked quarterback and he's now down all the way to 20th.

• 24:31Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 24:32Speaker 00

  So that's a precipitous drop.

• 24:34Speaker 02

  It is precipitous. What about Rogers 19?

• 24:37Speaker 00

  It's fine. It is what it is. He was seven, two years ago. So he's, he's dropped a little.

• 24:45Speaker 02

  So Deshaun is 31, Shador 35.

• 24:49Speaker 00

  You add both of them.

• 24:51Speaker 02

  So the Browns have like an, almost an embarrassment of riches. It looks like, so the Browns and the Falcons and the Vikings, I think those are the three teams that have more than one quarterback on this list. That's pretty impressive.

• 25:03Speaker 00

  Yeah, they, the, the Browns, you can, I mean, having two quarterbacks in the top 35 is pretty, pretty awesome.

• 25:11Speaker 02

  Quantity over quality.

• 25:12Speaker 00

  That's pretty sick.

• 25:13Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 25:14Speaker 00

  Uh, I'm just looking if there's any cheer changes that some of the, some of the risers. So Joe Burrow was ranked three last year, so I guess he's gone down a little. And Lamar Jackson was ranked four, I believe, last year. So he was in tier one last year. He's dropped to tier two. I don't know what it, I guess, I guess them not making the playoffs.

• 25:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:36Speaker 00

  I feel like Lamar is going to have a good season from, like, not the John Harbor, John Harbor is a very good coach, but just something different. Is gonna, and Dak went from 12 to seven this year.

• 25:47Speaker 02

  Big jump.

• 25:47Speaker 00

  That's a huge jump.

• 25:48Speaker 02

  Big jump. And, uh, Gino went from three to four.

• 25:53Speaker 00

  Tier wise.

• 25:54Speaker 02

  Tier wise.

• 25:55Speaker 00

  Tier wise.

• 25:55Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 25:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 25:57Speaker 02

  I think that Trevor Lawrence could also be higher on this list.

• 26:00Speaker 00

  Yeah, probably, probably. All right. So we have Oldy here to give us his tier. You're going to give us your top 10?

• 26:06Speaker 02

  Oldy, the instructions were for Oldy, no computer, no Google, no phone.

• 26:11Speaker 00

  So you could have forgotten some.

• 26:12Speaker 02

  Off the top of the head, Oldy's top 10 quarterback tiers. And what were you writing in? Is it just a piece of cardboard?

• 26:19Speaker 06

  Piece of cardboard, yeah.

• 26:20Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 26:20Speaker 06

  From the, one of the boxes there.

• 26:22Speaker 00

  Okay. There's nothing better than walking into the office and seeing the Timbits and being like,

• 26:27Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 26:27Speaker 00

  Oldy's here. It's like Omar's coming.

• 26:30Speaker 02

  Pretty incredible.

• 26:31Speaker 00

  There's, there's, there's donuts for four days.

• 26:33Speaker 02

  Donuts and did you check a bag this time of candy or was this carry on?

• 26:37Speaker 06

  No, I had my luggage, it's carry on, backpack, carry on, a whole big bag of all dressed hickory sticks. And the one bag, and then as soon as I get into the airport, I go down to Timmy's, I get to the order, I don't even order a coffee. I go up and I go to the lady at the luxury, she says, you're back again. And I say, yes, miss. How's it going? Ordered two dozen donuts, 150 Timbits, and there's like nine people behind me like, what is this guy doing? And then I get it in a recycling bag because it's so heavy. And then I try to get on the plane. The lady's like, that's, you can't have that much stuff. And I'm like, no, it's okay. I gotta get it down to the boys and yeah, I'm good to go. And she's like, just come in zone two. And I was down to the back 40.

• 27:16Speaker 02

  I love it. I love that the, the lady at the airport, Tim Hortons knows Oldy.

• 27:21Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 27:21Speaker 02

  And is familiar with Oldy.

• 27:23Speaker 00

  Well, they probably have him on a watch list for smuggling like sweets.

• 27:26Speaker 06

  Yeah. She's like, another couple of weeks back. And I'm like, uh, maybe a month, but yeah, I never know. Couple of weeks, we'll see what's up. And she's like, we'll see you soon, dear.

• 27:33Speaker 00

  Yeah. All right. So give it to us.

• 27:35Speaker 06

  Okay. I just went off the old school brain here. Coconut college, no knowledge. Baker Mayfield, gotta go number one. He's my dog box fan.

• 27:42Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 27:42Speaker 06

  Zach knows what I'm talking about. Lamar Jackson, great runner. Uh, three, Josh Allen for the mafia, new field. He's got to do something out there. Four banger, Jalen Daniels, this is his year.

• 27:53Speaker 02

  I mean.

• 27:54Speaker 00

  Jalen Daniels. From Kansas.

• 27:56Speaker 06

  Yeah. Jaden Daniels, uh, four banger, five Caleb. Let's go. He owns it to the windy city. I mean, they gotta figure out, you guys gotta figure out a stadium here.

• 28:04Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 28:05Speaker 06

  We gotta get something going. Uh, six banger, uh, Jalen Hurts, he's still out there grinding for Maxi.

• 28:10Speaker 00

  Hey, nice.

• 28:11Speaker 06

  He's still out there.

• 28:12Speaker 00

  Nice.

• 28:12Speaker 06

  Uh, Drake Mayo, it's time to shine there, buddy. Enough with the, you gotta go.

• 28:16Speaker 00

  Okay, so wait, what number's Drake?

• 28:19Speaker 06

  Drake, seven banger.

• 28:20Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 28:21Speaker 06

  Uh, J J McCarthy. I know, I mean, I mean, I mean, this guy's not the greatest quarterback. I just like the Vikings.

• 28:28Speaker 00

  Close to Canada.

• 28:28Speaker 06

  I just, yeah, I just like the Vikings getting fired up and the horns going up.

• 28:32Speaker 00

  He's good.

• 28:32Speaker 06

  Yeah. Uh, Prescott, he's gotta do it for Jerry. I mean, I don't know how many years Jerry's kicking on this like this, like we gotta get that something.

• 28:39Speaker 02

  Do you guys think that if the Cowboys win the Super Bowl, Jerry Jones will die? I think, I think so. I think within probably a couple of months.

• 28:46Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 28:47Speaker 02

  He'll just kinda like fade out and be like, this is, this is what I was thinking around for.

• 28:51Speaker 06

  That's the final, final.

• 28:52Speaker 02

  Thank you, boys.

• 28:53Speaker 06

  Yeah, thank you very much. Sign off. And then last but not least, old school legend, Aaron Rodgers.

• 28:58Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 28:58Speaker 06

  Just cause he's out there running his mouth like a hot animal, he's still out there just giving it to people. So I love to see that.

• 29:03Speaker 00

  You're just thinking of people you know in this office. Yeah, so, so, so notable, notable players left off. Patrick Mahomes not in the top 10. Fair. Matthew Stafford, not in the top 10. Uh, Justin Herbert, not in the top 10. Jared Goff, not in the top 10.

• 29:18Speaker 06

  No, I don't like those guys.

• 29:19Speaker 00

  Okay. We love.

• 29:20Speaker 06

  No, I do, no, those guys. No, those guys are all dogs. I just, that was, that was off my brain. It kinda felt old school, cause it was like, you know, when the teacher tells you like, go look in the dictionary to try to explain that word, but if you don't know how to explain the word, how can you look it up in the dictionary? So I just went off, old school off my brain and that's what came to the, that's what came to the oven.

• 29:40Speaker 02

  Hang on, back up just one second for you. So if, if the teacher says, if I ask for a word in the dictionary.

• 29:46Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 29:47Speaker 02

  Wouldn't you look up the word in the dictionary and then it would give you the explanation?

• 29:50Speaker 06

  Yeah, but if I'm asking how to spell the word, like, how do you spell the word?

• 29:54Speaker 02

  You gotta take a guess.

• 29:55Speaker 06

  Go look in the dictionary, like, figure it out. I'm like, well, how do you, I don't even know how, where to start.

• 29:59Speaker 02

  Yeah, one out of 26 chance, yeah.

• 30:01Speaker 06

  Exactly.

• 30:01Speaker 02

  Pick a, pick a letter.

• 30:02Speaker 03

  Take a letter.

• 30:03Speaker 00

  Okay, well, Oldy, great list. Thank you. If you're listening to this right now, there's a very good chance that Oldy is still live on Barstool After Dark. That is why he's here. They are attempting so on Tuesday night, they started their attempt to get a hole in one. Their longest putt ever, which is 157 yards, which is a strict, that's a par three hole. That's like a

• 30:27Speaker 03

  Seven, eight iron, nine iron, depending on how you shoot golf.

• 30:29Speaker 00

  Way the wind is going, but so they're, they're going till they get it. I'm almost, I'm going to guarantee that as you're listening to this, they're going to be just pulling up on Barstool After Dark.

• 30:39Speaker 02

  Oh, Oldy, are you like from a cardiovascular standpoint, are you feeling okay?

• 30:44Speaker 03

  I've been drinking so much water today. Like I just need to keep hydrated.

• 30:47Speaker 02

  I know, I'm talking about like your breathing.

• 30:49Speaker 03

  Body armor?

• 30:50Speaker 02

  You're breathing pretty deep right now.

• 30:51Speaker 03

  I'm like the heaviest I've ever been. Like I'm like the biggest, like I need those breeze strips on my nose. Like I should get the Darth Vader mask on. Like I need to check it.

• 31:00Speaker 02

  A ventilator, you need to be intubated.

• 31:02Speaker 03

  I need to be on a treadmill.

• 31:03Speaker 02

  You're wheezing a little bit over there.

• 31:05Speaker 03

  I know I am.

• 31:05Speaker 02

  Are you wheezing just from giving a top 10 quarterback list?

• 31:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's not easy out here. Just picking it off the top of the brain cells like that.

• 31:12Speaker 02

  That's true. I just want, I want you to be okay. I want you to be healthy.

• 31:15Speaker 03

  No, I'm, I'm good. I'm good. I'm trying to get better.

• 31:17Speaker 00

  All right. Everyone tune into Oldy's probably live still. Uh, all right, let's do hot tea, cool throne. Then we will get to our Mount Rushmore and then Jeff Passon talking some more baseball.

• 32:32Speaker 06

  My hot seat is ESPN.

• 32:34Speaker 00

  Oh, okay. What happened?

• 32:36Speaker 06

  Aaron Rodgers was on McAfee Show.

• 32:37Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 32:38Speaker 06

  Uh, he was, he was talking Fauci. He was roasting Fauci. He was, he asked why ESPN didn't cover that. That one, I don't know why ESPN would cover that, but he was basically saying they talked so much about COVID. Now they're not talking about Fauci and all the stuff that's coming out now. But then he also was like, they didn't cover the Racini stuff. They're gutless cowards. And then ESPN just said, we have no comment.

• 32:59Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 32:59Speaker 06

  So tough, tough look.

• 33:01Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 33:02Speaker 02

  Mm hmm. Yeah.

• 33:03Speaker 06

  You gotta, you gotta at least try and try and stand strong, but I don't, obviously, I guess I don't wanna.

• 33:08Speaker 00

  He just showed up one score short.

• 33:10Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 33:10Speaker 02

  It was very funny that he did it on ESPN.

• 33:12Speaker 06

  Right. That's why. And then ESPN just being like, yeah, no comment.

• 33:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 33:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:16Speaker 06

  Tough look.

• 33:18Speaker 02

  I think, I think ESPN is just terrified of lawsuits at all times.

• 33:21Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 33:22Speaker 06

  But.

• 33:22Speaker 00

  They had, they had Rogers on their airwaves.

• 33:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:28Speaker 06

  Right.

• 33:30Speaker 00

  How do you think Rogers is gonna be this year?

• 33:31Speaker 06

  He's been good.

• 33:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 33:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:34Speaker 06

  I'm a believer, which I've been wrong. I think of, I mean, like, I think, I'm a believer that if you were a high level quarterback, at any point you can, you still, like, Deshaun Watson, I think is gonna be good.

• 33:44Speaker 00

  Yeah. The only thing I would say about like the mobility shit.

• 33:49Speaker 06

  No, it's true. Like, it's true, but I, I, I've thought like the last few years with Deshaun Watson, I'm like, yeah, you know, all the stuff off, off the field, but like he's, if he plays at a high level, like he'd be great.

• 34:01Speaker 02

  It is crazy how like Deshaun, like he was a really, really good quarterback. He was probably, he was, if not tier one, like right on that edge, like top five quarterback. And then people found out that he got jacked off and then he sucked at playing sports. Like it's weird how mentally that type of stuff will fuck up your game. And you just, yeah, Hank, I'm with you. I think he's somewhere deep inside.

• 34:26Speaker 06

  And Rogers has been terrible. Like I've, like, we've, you know, watched all of his games and it's like, all right, it's Rogers though. He can lead this drive like fourth quarter, two minute drill. It's Rogers and it hasn't happened, but.

• 34:37Speaker 00

  Maybe Mike McCarthy brings it out of him.

• 34:39Speaker 06

  Yeah, I'm, I, I believe that, but it's probably not the case.

• 34:44Speaker 02

  We told Mike Silver that he was, he was actually sick before their, their playoff loss to Houston.

• 34:50Speaker 00

  I don't think they were winning that game anyway.

• 34:52Speaker 02

  Probably not. They lost 30 to six and he was like, I had a fever. Yeah.

• 34:57Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Wait, are you gonna say it PFT?

• 35:02Speaker 02

  Which one?

• 35:04Speaker 00

  About the Steelers?

• 35:05Speaker 02

  This might be the year.

• 35:08Speaker 02

  You know what?

• 35:09Speaker 00

  They could win.

• 35:10Speaker 02

  You know what? What if it was the, what if the Steelers finished eight and nine? They finished below 500, but then they won a playoff game.

• 35:18Speaker 00

  Hosted a playoff game.

• 35:19Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 35:20Speaker 00

  A playoff game.

• 35:20Speaker 02

  And won it at home. Yeah.

• 35:22Speaker 00

  This could be, they could win a playoff game this year.

• 35:24Speaker 02

  They might win one playoff game this year. Outside of that. No.

• 35:29Speaker 00

  Yeah. It feels like the Steelers have made the playoffs a billion years in a row and they, but they haven't made the playoffs.

• 35:35Speaker 02

  Right.

• 35:35Speaker 00

  Because of how they've lost in the playoffs. It's like, that wasn't a playoff team.

• 35:40Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 35:40Speaker 00

  Like last year was not, they weren't even close to competitive against Texas. Remember the year, I think the year before was the Ravens?

• 35:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 35:46Speaker 00

  That one?

• 35:46Speaker 02

  It was a really odd thing where Steelers fans would be like, you'd finish the season, you would make the playoffs and then Steelers fans would dread that week leading into the playoff game.

• 35:55Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 35:55Speaker 02

  Cause they're like, yeah, this is gonna suck. We're not a playoff team.

• 35:57Speaker 00

  Okay. Cool throne?

• 35:59Speaker 06

  Uh, my cool throne is Jon Rahm.

• 36:01Speaker 02

  Oh, why?

• 36:02Speaker 00

  Oh, I, that's interesting.

• 36:03Speaker 06

  Monday Q info, who's great, great following Twitter, legitimate, legitimate source. Like he, he, he's an insider. He, uh, put out a tweet saying multiple people I spoke with, including players, live golf could still be owed in like some players could be owed up to 250 million combined from contracts they signed. The biggest portion of the lump sum is Jon Rahm, who is allegedly still owed as much as 150 mil.

• 36:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 36:27Speaker 06

  But.

• 36:28Speaker 00

  That's not a cool throne.

• 36:29Speaker 06

  Wait. Uh. Seems like a foregone conclusion that Liverpool filed for bankruptcy. So almost no chance Rahm and others owed will get all the money. It could be converted into equity if they find investors for live 2.0 and the players decide to stay. So Jon Rahm went from being a, a player in a league, just getting paid a salary to he, he might own like 60% of live 2.0.

• 36:49Speaker 00

  An owner of a league that is bankrupt and is not viable.

• 36:55Speaker 00

  Like equity in that is worth zero.

• 36:59Speaker 06

  Wasn't no, but wasn't like the whole Dodgers TV thing because of bankruptcy?

• 37:03Speaker 00

  Now, now you lost me.

• 37:05Speaker 02

  Yeah, very. I don't know.

• 37:07Speaker 00

  Am I wrong?

• 37:07Speaker 02

  No, because I read, I read about the Dodgers TV thing. I read about that so many times that it's just easier to be like, the Dodgers are cheating and it's not fair.

• 37:15Speaker 06

  But like, if you're like, if you get in at the ground floor and you, you have a big stake, like that's valuable.

• 37:22Speaker 00

  It would have to continue and flourish for them to make money.

• 37:26Speaker 06

  Look at where you've come from. You're, you're, you're on your high horse. Like Barstool, people didn't believe in Barstool. Like you, you know, you, you, people thought you were crazy for leaving your job and like, all right, I got a little equity in this upstart company. Now look at you.

• 37:37Speaker 02

  That's a great point.

• 37:37Speaker 06

  That could be John Rahm. John Rahm, John Rahm in five years.

• 37:40Speaker 00

  You're right. You're right. It's really good. You're right. You're so right.

• 37:44Speaker 02

  So like, John Rahm's going to buy it back from.

• 37:47Speaker 06

  No, he's just gonna get it.

• 37:48Speaker 00

  He's gonna get all the money.

• 37:49Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 37:49Speaker 02

  Yeah. What if they sold it to John Rahm for a dollar?

• 37:53Speaker 06

  Yeah, then he'd be in a great spot.

• 37:55Speaker 00

  So you're saying, you, you think John Rahm will, will take the equity in Liv versus trying to actually make money and play on the PGA Tour?

• 38:04Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's 150 mil.

• 38:05Speaker 00

  No, no, that's not 150 mil.

• 38:07Speaker 06

  150 mil of stock.

• 38:08Speaker 00

  That's what he's owed.

• 38:09Speaker 06

  Yeah. So he's getting that in percentage.

• 38:11Speaker 02

  Which could be way more than 150 mil. It could be 150 billion.

• 38:15Speaker 06

  Right.

• 38:16Speaker 00

  Right. All they need is like some super rich investor with unlimited money from the Middle East to invest in them.

• 38:24Speaker 06

  It can be from anywhere.

• 38:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, I do. No discrimination. I'm with Hank. Like, that's a limited mindset you've got. And John Rahm.

• 38:29Speaker 06

  Yeah, people look at that story like it's a bad thing.

• 38:31Speaker 00

  Yeah, right, right.

• 38:32Speaker 06

  But like, it's not.

• 38:33Speaker 00

  It's not.

• 38:34Speaker 02

  Right. The fact that they don't have.

• 38:35Speaker 06

  Great opportunity.

• 38:36Speaker 02

  Like, if they don't have any investors is actually a great thing for the golfers on the tour because imagine what if they did get an investor?

• 38:43Speaker 00

  Right. Like, like, I'll, I'll not believe in Liv when they fail with an unlimited bankroll.

• 38:51Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 38:52Speaker 02

  Right. Yeah.

• 38:53Speaker 06

  Like that's

• 38:53Speaker 00

  Until that happens, I'm gonna believe in that.

• 38:55Speaker 02

  Yeah. If they find themselves somehow hypothetically, if they find like the one investor or a public fund that would be willing to spend whatever it took to prop up live as a golf league. I don't even know if that person exists out there, but if they were to find that one person, whoever it might be, then this thing, I'm sure it would be a massive success. But we will, I guess we'll never know until we find some public investment fund that would be willing to throw like, I don't know, hundreds of millions of dollars.

• 39:26Speaker 06

  I think it's like five billion.

• 39:27Speaker 00

  Yeah, something like that. But can I, can I throw out a hypothetical?

• 39:30Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 39:32Speaker 00

  Let's say, okay, which would you rather have? The live golf tour gets an investor, absolutely crushes it, flourishes, lasts for the next hundred years.

• 39:49Speaker 06

  I don't know what you could say that's gonna make me take option two.

• 39:53Speaker 00

  Well, I'm trying to think what would be fair, because I like, I think you would take Patriot Super Bowl over that.

• 39:59Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 40:00Speaker 00

  Bruin Stanley Cup victory.

• 40:07Speaker 02

  You're such a

• 40:08Speaker 06

  I would, I would take Bruins. I would take Bruins. If, if, if John Rahm wanted to cut me in on some equity. But like, I have no, I have no, if I had a vested interest.

• 40:18Speaker 02

  How about this? How about this? The live exists, it exists for another hundred years. Or you get down to an eight handicap.

• 40:30Speaker 06

  I mean, I'll get down to eight handicap. Is, is, if I don't take live, do I never get down to an eight?

• 40:34Speaker 00

  Never get down. You're capped exactly where you are. You'll never get better.

• 40:38Speaker 06

  Well, that's, there's no

• 40:39Speaker 02

  What if you get to a 12?

• 40:40Speaker 06

  No, I, I, I mean,

• 40:42Speaker 02

  Eight handicap.

• 40:42Speaker 06

  The, the, the, the fun of golf is trying to progress. You know, the numbers are

• 40:46Speaker 00

  Right, right. You'll still try, but you'll never get better.

• 40:48Speaker 06

  Yeah, that sounds awful.

• 40:49Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 40:50Speaker 00

  The fun of golf is

• 40:51Speaker 06

  I might not be getting better, but like I, in my mind right now, I'm like, I'm gonna be, I am getting

• 40:55Speaker 00

  What about live, lives for a hundred years? I can, or I can snap my fingers and you're scratched tomorrow.

• 41:03Speaker 06

  Scratched tomorrow.

• 41:04Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 41:04Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 41:06Speaker 02

  But you love live.

• 41:07Speaker 00

  But you love

• 41:07Speaker 02

  Live 2.0 is what they're thinking about calling it.

• 41:10Speaker 00

  You believe.

• 41:10Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 41:11Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 41:11Speaker 02

  What is live 2.0?

• 41:13Speaker 00

  It's louder.

• 41:15Speaker 02

  Yeah. Golf but louder, but louder.

• 41:18Speaker 06

  Golf but even louder.

• 41:20Speaker 02

  There's none more loud.

• 41:23Speaker 03

  There's more speakers. There's more speakers on the course.

• 41:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, there's just, it's so loud. What, what Max?

• 41:29Speaker 03

  I just, it's.

• 41:30Speaker 00

  It's never.

• 41:31Speaker 02

  I know you don't care about Liv.

• 41:32Speaker 00

  I want it to never.

• 41:33Speaker 03

  I so don't care about it.

• 41:35Speaker 02

  Here's why.

• 41:35Speaker 03

  It's insane how little I care about it.

• 41:37Speaker 02

  Why I care so deeply about Liv is because it's such a ridiculous league. That people, that, that somehow managed to weasel their way into the national discourse.

• 41:47Speaker 03

  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

• 41:50Speaker 03

  Into our discourse.

• 41:51Speaker 02

  No, Max, Max, anytime, if you can sign away Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau. I got news for everybody.

• 41:58Speaker 06

  Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson.

• 41:59Speaker 02

  They, they became a storyline in golf, like it or not.

• 42:03Speaker 03

  That was, that was the old Liv.

• 42:05Speaker 02

  And it's very funny that with all the money in the world, how many dead dinosaurs? Probably, probably millions, maybe even billions of dinosaurs had to die back in the day to generate enough oil to give the Saudi government enough money right now.

• 42:21Speaker 06

  Creates oil?

• 42:22Speaker 02

  Yeah. Probably billions.

• 42:24Speaker 00

  Dinosaurs, dude.

• 42:25Speaker 02

  Billions of dead dinosaurs. Their last wishes were, I hope that you can sign Cam Smith.

• 42:32Speaker 00

  Dinosaur bones.

• 42:32Speaker 02

  Use my body.

• 42:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 42:34Speaker 02

  Go out there and sign and recruit Ian Poulter.

• 42:36Speaker 00

  You're all, everything that you want in life is based on a triceratops that died hundreds of thousands of years ago. Deep below the earth's crust.

• 42:48Speaker 02

  Probably hundreds of millions.

• 42:49Speaker 00

  Millions, yeah, whatever, dinosaurs, no one knows.

• 42:53Speaker 06

  Yeah, I don't believe that.

• 42:53Speaker 00

  You know, there's like, there's, there was like six extinctions.

• 42:56Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 42:56Speaker 00

  I didn't fucking know that.

• 42:58Speaker 06

  Netflix show is too much, too much AI, but.

• 43:00Speaker 00

  I took my kids to the field.

• 43:01Speaker 06

  It was like a hundred, there was, there was a hundred million year gaps.

• 43:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, it was like, wait, I thought there was just one big one.

• 43:07Speaker 02

  And T-Rex lived way closer to us than it did to the stegosaurus.

• 43:11Speaker 00

  Yeah. I think I told you guys, you can go smell the breath of the T-Rex, Sue.

• 43:16Speaker 06

  Wow.

• 43:16Speaker 00

  Museum. Yeah, it smells terrible. Awful.

• 43:20Speaker 06

  Wait till 3.0.

• 43:21Speaker 00

  3.0, oh my god.

• 43:23Speaker 06

  I mean dude, Steve Jobs. What happened, what happened?

• 43:25Speaker 00

  Golf, but we're screaming at all times.

• 43:27Speaker 02

  He died.

• 43:27Speaker 06

  What happened with Apple?

• 43:28Speaker 00

  He died.

• 43:29Speaker 06

  Was that successful at first? No. Did he get kicked out of his company? Yes. Did he come back again and it was the strongest company in the world? Yes.

• 43:36Speaker 00

  Yes. Is he way smarter than, uh?

• 43:40Speaker 06

  That's the old regime.

• 43:41Speaker 00

  Is he way smarter than a league that said, hey, we'll play less golf, but we'll do it in shorts? Also, yes.

• 43:48Speaker 06

  But it's all about the comeback.

• 43:50Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 43:51Speaker 02

  Yeah, you think Greg Norman's sitting by his phone?

• 43:54Speaker 00

  What do you think, Max?

• 43:56Speaker 03

  I'm, I'm over it.

• 43:57Speaker 00

  All right.

• 43:57Speaker 02

  Hot seat, cool throw, PFT.

• 43:59Speaker 00

  I never wanted to die.

• 44:00Speaker 02

  No, this is a good convo.

• 44:01Speaker 00

  I needed to go forever.

• 44:02Speaker 02

  This is a great convo. Um, what, Max?

• 44:06Speaker 03

  I hope you just say something with the Wizards to start the thought.

• 44:10Speaker 02

  I, I mean, I, I could dig deep if you wanted me to.

• 44:13Speaker 03

  Well, we have to hit the quota.

• 44:15Speaker 00

  No, go, just do a regular hot seat. Don't, he's Googling now.

• 44:19Speaker 02

  I mean, we might extend Anthony Davis.

• 44:22Speaker 00

  All right, hot seat.

• 44:23Speaker 02

  The Wizards might extend Anthony Davis.

• 44:27Speaker 02

  That's, that's my Wizards, that's my Wizards conversation. Uh, no, my hot seat is, uh, is the substation. And the, the 49ers. Mike Evans, he, uh, he hurt his quad and I have no idea if it's a serious injury. I hope it's not. But, um, the 49ers social media staff has found themselves in, in quite the predicament.

• 44:48Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 44:48Speaker 02

  Which is they're paid based on engagement and the numbers that they generate. And then you sell sponsorships, obviously, for the team based on what the social media accounts do. And they know that anytime they have a training camp video that has the substation in the background, that thing is going to do numbers online.

• 45:05Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 45:06Speaker 02

  However, it's going to be a discussion of, oh, your team continues to hurt your own players with this, uh, you know, however much of pseudoscience it might be. But the 49ers are still gonna continue to post about the like they're not posting about the substation.

• 45:20Speaker 00

  Yeah, but they are.

• 45:20Speaker 02

  But it's gonna be featured because they know.

• 45:22Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 45:23Speaker 02

  That it's gonna be good for the numbies. I don't know if Mike Evans is seriously hurt, if this is more of a precaution, but it's definitely gonna be like confirmation bias anytime somebody gets hurt.

• 45:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 45:33Speaker 02

  For the Niners all season.

• 45:34Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 45:35Speaker 02

  Um, it's just gonna be, it's gonna be a substation.

• 45:38Speaker 00

  A hundred percent.

• 45:38Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 45:39Speaker 00

  There's also a substation Twitter account now that has like.

• 45:42Speaker 02

  I saw that.

• 45:43Speaker 00

  10,000 followers. It's ominous.

• 45:45Speaker 02

  It's ominous and it's, it's directly threatening players.

• 45:48Speaker 00

  Correct.

• 45:48Speaker 02

  It told Kittle like, just wait.

• 45:50Speaker 00

  Yeah, which I don't like that.

• 45:51Speaker 02

  I got my eye on you.

• 45:52Speaker 00

  I'm gonna report that guy.

• 45:53Speaker 02

  Yeah, ban that guy. Our community noted. Um, then my cool throne is Carrie Underwood. She's back. And there's a new anthem this year for Sunday Night Football.

• 46:04Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 46:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 46:06Speaker 06

  That's bullshit.

• 46:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm on, that's.

• 46:09Speaker 06

  They're gonna, that's gonna, that's gonna get changed in two weeks.

• 46:12Speaker 03

  People are gonna.

• 46:12Speaker 06

  They've done this before.

• 46:14Speaker 02

  What do you mean?

• 46:16Speaker 03

  Waiting, waiting all day for Sunday night. That's how every Sunday night has to start.

• 46:21Speaker 02

  Right. Agreed. So I don't know if it's, you know what? I haven't thought about that. This might be a hot seat for NBC then.

• 46:29Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 46:29Speaker 02

  Cause I just, I just assumed that it was gonna be a new version in that like they come up with a different phrase to rhyme with, uh, like Chris is the best on TV.

• 46:40Speaker 02

  You know, like they do it on a weekly basis. I imagine that she goes in the studio like once a month and records what are gonna be the intro lines for that weekend.

• 46:50Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 46:52Speaker 02

  But would that count as a full new anthem? I don't think that it does.

• 46:55Speaker 03

  I don't know. We have to do some research.

• 46:56Speaker 00

  We're gonna have to do some.

• 46:57Speaker 02

  We have to do some massive research.

• 46:58Speaker 00

  Cause like.

• 46:59Speaker 02

  They, they should not change. The, the Sunday night anthem is perfect as it is.

• 47:04Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 47:04Speaker 02

  A brand new version of the iconic anthem is on its way. I don't like the sound of that.

• 47:09Speaker 00

  That sounds.

• 47:10Speaker 06

  You said cool throat?

• 47:12Speaker 02

  Yeah, but then I changed it after, because I I'd assumed it was like what they do every year, week to week. This makes it sound like they're actually gonna change.

• 47:18Speaker 00

  They better not fuck this up.

• 47:19Speaker 02

  The entire thing.

• 47:20Speaker 00

  No.

• 47:21Speaker 02

  And I'm not.

• 47:22Speaker 00

  I'm not down with that.

• 47:22Speaker 02

  I've got my eye on it.

• 47:23Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, okay, my hot seat is Hank, because we have a new fart of the year. So people are talking about his fart of the year. What?

• 47:33Speaker 06

  That would be cool throat.

• 47:34Speaker 00

  Well, no, because everyone's bringing up your fart of the year now. In relation to this.

• 47:38Speaker 06

  That was last year.

• 47:39Speaker 00

  Yeah, right.

• 47:39Speaker 06

  Move on.

• 47:39Speaker 00

  But, uh, there was a horrific fart attack that sent moviegoers running out of the theater in the middle of the new Spider-Man. Uh, and it was ridiculous. Why?

• 47:54Speaker 06

  There's only like, what?

• 47:57Speaker 06

  How many people are, could actually be affected by a fart?

• 48:00Speaker 00

  If it was really bad.

• 48:01Speaker 06

  Fifteen?

• 48:02Speaker 00

  One viewer sent to ruin a whole cinema like.

• 48:04Speaker 02

  I think he shit.

• 48:05Speaker 06

  If you're four rows behind, like.

• 48:08Speaker 00

  He shit.

• 48:08Speaker 06

  In a movie theater?

• 48:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, no, he shit.

• 48:11Speaker 06

  That's, that's, smells not getting all the way back there. Like, there's probably fifteen people that are even within range of that fart.

• 48:17Speaker 02

  But would, would could have, what if somebody threw up?

• 48:19Speaker 06

  Yeah, throwing up or poop, that, that's a stronger scent that travels and sticks.

• 48:23Speaker 02

  I'm saying like if the fart's bad, that somebody in the local area pukes.

• 48:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 48:27Speaker 02

  And then that puke makes somebody else puke. And then before you know it, the entire theater's spewing.

• 48:31Speaker 00

  Everyone's puking.

• 48:32Speaker 06

  Family Guy, but yeah.

• 48:33Speaker 00

  Yeah. Well, Stand By Me.

• 48:35Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 48:36Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 48:37Speaker 00

  You never seen it?

• 48:38Speaker 06

  I think I watched it. I watched it in school.

• 48:40Speaker 00

  Wait, what?

• 48:41Speaker 02

  Wait, I haven't seen Stand By Me.

• 48:42Speaker 00

  You've never seen Stand By Me?

• 48:43Speaker 06

  I, I, I have. I watched it in school.

• 48:46Speaker 00

  You know, Family Guy was, the scene was just Stand By Me.

• 48:48Speaker 06

  No, that part, I, I, again, like, I, I, I watched Stand By Me in like high school, in like a class.

• 48:54Speaker 00

  Hanky.

• 48:55Speaker 06

  Thought it was boring.

• 48:57Speaker 02

  You didn't like any of the acting?

• 48:59Speaker 06

  Nah. The, the, uh.

• 49:02Speaker 02

  The fat kid?

• 49:03Speaker 06

  Corey Feldman.

• 49:04Speaker 02

  Oh, the other Corey.

• 49:05Speaker 00

  No, Hanky. It's a great movie.

• 49:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 49:09Speaker 00

  What, again, eighty-nine percent on Rotten Tomatoes, ninety-four percent, uh, popcorn meter.

• 49:13Speaker 02

  Isn't it like a anniversary to that movie or something?

• 49:15Speaker 04

  I've never seen it either.

• 49:17Speaker 00

  Well, you're a hater.

• 49:18Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 49:19Speaker 00

  How many guys have never seen it?

• 49:20Speaker 02

  It's a good movie.

• 49:21Speaker 00

  Came out like nineteen seventy-four. It came out nineteen eighty-six, and it's a great movie.

• 49:26Speaker 04

  Never

• 49:27Speaker 02

  You would like

• 49:27Speaker 00

  Like we like it's actually funny that we are like like we joke about Jer like he was in an awesome, awesome.

• 49:33Speaker 06

  No, I yeah, they taught it in school.

• 49:35Speaker 02

  They taught it in school.

• 49:37Speaker 06

  I that's where I watch it. We watch it in class.

• 49:39Speaker 00

  If you ever see a dead body.

• 49:40Speaker 02

  Yeah. So wait, what did they teach you about the movie?

• 49:43Speaker 06

  Uh.

• 49:43Speaker 00

  Don't eat pie?

• 49:45Speaker 06

  No, it was like a it was like an elective class. I had it was honestly a great class. We just sat and watched movies like we watched like the Godfather and and Stay By Me, some of the old like black and white movies, Hitchcock movies and my teacher would just break them down of why it was like a classic movie.

• 50:00Speaker 00

  That actually sounds like an awesome.

• 50:01Speaker 06

  It was a great class. Yeah, it was a great, great senior elective class.

• 50:04Speaker 02

  Don't walk on the train tracks.

• 50:05Speaker 00

  Also, hot seat is memes because on uh Sunday's show, he said that uh we need another earthquake and then California's top earthquake expert. This is like when we're in a simulation because it was it was maybe like 12 hours after memes said that he's wishing an earthquake on LA. He said California's top earthquake expert issues chilling new warning on the big one. It could be tomorrow.

• 50:29Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 50:30Speaker 00

  Good timing memes.

• 50:31Speaker 02

  Memes. Yeah.

• 50:32Speaker 04

  Yeah, when you're hot, you're hot. I I probably should have said for my preemptive take that the Jets were gonna break their playoff drought, but

• 50:41Speaker 04

  I might just be God, so.

• 50:43Speaker 00

  You could be.

• 50:43Speaker 04

  Could be.

• 50:44Speaker 00

  Could be.

• 50:44Speaker 02

  Memes might be God.

• 50:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 50:46Speaker 04

  Whatever I say happens is gonna happen.

• 50:48Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 50:48Speaker 02

  So what what are you calling for next episode? Heat check.

• 50:54Speaker 04

  No, not.

• 50:57Speaker 00

  No, don't do it.

• 50:58Speaker 04

  No, not gonna do it. Not gonna do it.

• 50:59Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 51:00Speaker 04

  I apologize to the people of LA.

• 51:01Speaker 00

  Okay, uh and then my cool throne is the Bears because this actually just happened a second ago, but Darnell Wright signs. This is weird phrasing by Ian Rappaport. Would you guys agree? The Bears and all pro offensive tackle Darnell Wright have agreed to terms on a fat new deal. To make him one of NFL's highest paid per me and Jay Fowler ESPN. That's weird.

• 51:23Speaker 02

  Sounds like you're talking about a butt.

• 51:25Speaker 00

  Yeah. Fat new deal. Also cool throne because Kobe Bryant is only out for eight to 10 weeks, which we Eddie had a great.

• 51:33Speaker 02

  It's a miracle.

• 51:33Speaker 00

  Yeah. Eddie had a great point on Wake Up Arsenal today, which I think we need to enact everywhere because everyone has gone through this as football fans. The training camp injury, when you're not watching, because you, there's no cameras and you see instantly carts coming out. Player throws his helmet, players emotional teammates are going up to the cart, all those bad ominous tweets. Eddie said that every single injury, no matter how big or how small in training camp cart should come out. Cause then when you get the news, like I thought Kobe Bryant was out for the year. I thought he was going to not play for the Bears for like 15 months. I was like, this fucking sucks. It's our big off, off season signing.

• 52:15Speaker 00

  And then it comes back that it's eight to 10 weeks. I'm like, that's a miracle. Like we're good. So I think we need to just set the expectation that every injury is the worst possible. And then you get the good news and it's a great relief.

• 52:25Speaker 02

  I would, I would go a step further and say that every player entering or exiting the practice field, regardless of injury. Everyone's got their own cart.

• 52:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 52:34Speaker 02

  So nobody walks back.

• 52:36Speaker 00

  There is nothing worse though, than seeing the tweet. Ex-player throws his helmet in like disgust after injury.

• 52:44Speaker 02

  That's the one I look at. Yeah. Like the Teddy Bridgewater.

• 52:46Speaker 00

  What were you gonna say?

• 52:48Speaker 03

  I want to go one step further and they should stop saying weeks and just saying what week of the NFL season they could return. Because eight to 10 weeks me.

• 52:57Speaker 00

  Right now is fine.

• 52:58Speaker 03

  I, but I can't put that math together of what that actually mean like.

• 53:01Speaker 00

  It's about week five.

• 53:02Speaker 03

  Yeah. Weeks, weeks three to five return is what you need to hear. Cause that sounds like nothing.

• 53:06Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 53:07Speaker 03

  Eight to 10 sounds like a lot, but then there's, there's more weeks before the regular season starts.

• 53:13Speaker 02

  The thing is, if this happened during the season, we would be like, this is the worst injury ever. Oh my God. What a terrible injury.

• 53:20Speaker 00

  We need a chart.

• 53:20Speaker 02

  The fact that it happened at the start of training camp, we're like, I just, everyone's nicked up this time.

• 53:27Speaker 00

  What we need Max is we just need a chart where it's like, it, so it's, it's the reverse where it's like, now if the, if you get injured, you can go to the chart and be like, all right, here's when you come back. So like, when we get to week 14, it basically says anything over four to six weeks, you're out.

• 53:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, you're fucked.

• 53:42Speaker 00

  Yeah, you're fucked. Cause like the clock just keeps ticking down. Cause yeah, you're right. We do, you do that. You, you do the math in your head and you're like, oh shit. But yeah, this is early enough in August. I, I thought it was like when the cart comes out and it's just like, this is fucking.

• 53:56Speaker 02

  10 weeks is bad. 10 weeks is bad, but that's, that's the thing. It's like,

• 54:00Speaker 00

  August 1st?

• 54:01Speaker 02

  Yeah. We're basically still in July.

• 54:03Speaker 00

  Right. Yeah. Almost June.

• 54:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 54:06Speaker 00

  Okay. Zach finishes off before we get to our Mount Rushmore.

• 54:10Speaker 05

  My hot seat this week is going to be Klay Thompson. So, uh, here recently, Kevin Durant was responding to a post, kind of comparing the two super teams, Golden State and the Sixers. Kevin Durant goes on to say, it ain't even close. Joel MVP, Jalen Brown, recent finals MVP, Tyrese Maxey, All-Star last three years. We all know what Bron does. Klay Thompson, never an MVP candidate in nothing.

• 54:37Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 54:39Speaker 05

  Klay clapped back, you good man. Why are you using my full government?

• 54:44Speaker 05

  Klay Thompson does not want the Twitter or Instagram smoke with Kevin Durant. Why would you take an online battle with KD? He will go to the depths of hell to win such a battle.

• 54:55Speaker 00

  That you're not wrong on that.

• 54:56Speaker 06

  He's got the time.

• 54:58Speaker 05

  He has the time and the accounts. He's got the numbers.

• 55:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 55:03Speaker 06

  Also never MVP in anything. It's kind of mean.

• 55:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, that is really.

• 55:06Speaker 02

  Is that true?

• 55:07Speaker 00

  He had to be MVP in something.

• 55:08Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 55:09Speaker 05

  Maybe high school, little league.

• 55:11Speaker 06

  AAU.

• 55:12Speaker 00

  Oh, he definitely was.

• 55:14Speaker 06

  He was a good baseball player too.

• 55:17Speaker 00

  Yeah, that seems like a really weird shot.

• 55:20Speaker 05

  And then he threw the, uh, ID emoji. So Klay Thompson really didn't like the whole full government use. Felt kind of personal to him.

• 55:28Speaker 05

  Would be sick if we saw these two guys throw hands.

• 55:30Speaker 00

  I mean, also that's, that's kind of a weird argument for Kevin Durant to be like, I don't see how the Warriors were better at all. How about the fact that that team won 73 games?

• 55:43Speaker 00

  Wouldn't that be why they were better?

• 55:45Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 55:46Speaker 00

  Also.

• 55:46Speaker 02

  And then you added Kevin Durant.

• 55:48Speaker 05

  In a weird way, is that him trying to hide behind him, without him saying it out loud that I kinda went to a super team, but look what LeBron did, but he knows he can't say that.

• 55:57Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah, he was, he was, he did it perfect. We talked about on Sunday, his quote, he, he was perfect with what he said, where he didn't really diss him. He just said, yeah, of course they're, they're championship like a bust. But man.

• 56:09Speaker 02

  This might've been, this might've been meant for the burner.

• 56:12Speaker 00

  Oh, this was sent to all this. Do we get sent to?

• 56:17Speaker 06

  No. I don't think so.

• 56:20Speaker 00

  I don't. Max just pulled up NBA sent to and ball sack. The other one.

• 56:26Speaker 04

  All right, that's so that what he pulled up is Draymond Green's Instagram, which is fake.

• 56:31Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 56:31Speaker 04

  So Max needs to find the post of that.

• 56:36Speaker 00

  So did he do it?

• 56:37Speaker 06

  Klay Thompson put that on his Instagram. Sorry. A hundred percent.

• 56:39Speaker 00

  But did KD say it?

• 56:41Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 56:42Speaker 00

  Where?

• 56:42Speaker 05

  Yes, no, wait.

• 56:44Speaker 02

  What the?

• 56:44Speaker 00

  Yeah, K, I think KD did.

• 56:45Speaker 05

  Why did sent, sent to can't be doing real stuff.

• 56:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, I agree.

• 56:50Speaker 02

  They're doing the fake, the fake stuff is the Draymond.

• 56:53Speaker 00

  Ball sack is also doing fake.

• 56:55Speaker 05

  I think the Draymond stuff is also real.

• 56:56Speaker 00

  Ball sack right there.

• 56:57Speaker 06

  Bleacher Report posted it.

• 57:00Speaker 05

  And, and Complex also said that Draymond is real.

• 57:04Speaker 06

  The Draymond, yeah, was on threads.

• 57:07Speaker 05

  Why is ball sack and sent to doing real?

• 57:10Speaker 00

  That's illegal. That's illegal.

• 57:12Speaker 02

  So Draymond did, Draymond said that he thought that KD was on the burner, was supposed to be on the burner.

• 57:17Speaker 05

  I think all, like all real.

• 57:19Speaker 00

  New York, all right. New York Post posted about it.

• 57:22Speaker 06

  It's real.

• 57:22Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 57:23Speaker 05

  It's real. It is real.

• 57:25Speaker 00

  All right. But yeah, I ball sack incentives can't be posting real stuff.

• 57:28Speaker 02

  Muddy in the waters.

• 57:29Speaker 05

  No, you can't do that. You absolutely cannot do that.

• 57:32Speaker 00

  They're switching back and forth.

• 57:33Speaker 02

  It's like, it also, why is Klay Thompson getting upset on full government name? He called him Klay Thompson.

• 57:42Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's probably just.

• 57:43Speaker 05

  Super valid point.

• 57:43Speaker 06

  Banter.

• 57:44Speaker 02

  Yeah, just banter.

• 57:46Speaker 05

  Or maybe he just wanted to set a tone of like, hey, I didn't, even though it doesn't make sense for me to feel upset about it, I'm gonna let you know I feel a type of way and we can get into whatever.

• 57:53Speaker 02

  You know what? I, I kind of agree with Klay. Like if you're Kevin Durant, you know, I'm good enough. You just say Klay.

• 57:59Speaker 02

  You leave it at that.

• 58:00Speaker 06

  True.

• 58:04Speaker 00

  Okay, good, good hot seat.

• 58:05Speaker 05

  Then my cool throne this week is gonna be Cleveland fans. Uh, Cleveland fans may have missed out on LeBron, but they did acquire an entire new team here shortly.

• 58:13Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:14Speaker 05

  Uh, WNBA expansion.

• 58:15Speaker 00

  The Rockers?

• 58:16Speaker 02

  The Sirens.

• 58:17Speaker 05

  The Sirens.

• 58:18Speaker 02

  Oh shit.

• 58:19Speaker 00

  Wait, is it multiple sirens?

• 58:20Speaker 05

  Uh, yeah, I'm thinking it's plural, cuz it's not like a fire truck. It's more like, uh, the mermaid that convinces you that you're in love and then you end up killing yourself.

• 58:28Speaker 02

  Got it. You know that thing's gotta be gripping.

• 58:32Speaker 05

  Yeah, true. Could be.

• 58:33Speaker 02

  If you're like, fuck it, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna run into this giant rock.

• 58:37Speaker 05

  But, uh, it'll be in 2028, so a little bit of, uh, early entrance there, but.

• 58:41Speaker 00

  Also, we should all say, the whole show is on the hot seat if we ever have Jonah Hill on the show, cuz he could annihilate all of us. That was quite a clip. Just the most, I didn't play a single sport and I just found something when I'm mid 40s and someone told me I'm good at it, energy, ever.

• 59:00Speaker 02

  It seemed like he just started doing it. I also, when I saw it, I think he was, I think he was joking.

• 59:05Speaker 00

  I think he was joking, but then he went, yeah, I, I think he's joking, but also I think he might. Cuz there is that guy who like starts like karate, like late in life is like, I could fuck you up.

• 59:15Speaker 02

  He's joking, but I don't think he would be joking about it like that if he didn't kind of believe it too.

• 59:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 59:23Speaker 00

  So don't call him the fat guy from Superbad.

• 59:26Speaker 02

  I would fuck him up, personally.

• 59:29Speaker 00

  I think I'd fuck him up.

• 59:30Speaker 02

  Yeah, I'd fuck up Jonah Hill. How old was he?

• 59:32Speaker 00

  Shout out to, I, like I said, my initial takeaway was shout out this Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor. Great job convincing Jonah Hill he could annihilate other men.

• 59:41Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 59:42Speaker 00

  I'm sure he, Jonah Hill probably paid for personal lessons, probably a lot of money. And, oh my God, he was the fastest black belt of all time.

• 59:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think if you're, if you're a like jiu-jitsu instructor, your goal is to really inflate the ego of whoever you're training with. Let them beat you, like first you kick their ass on lesson one and then maybe lesson seven or eight, you're like, alright, you're scaring me now.

• 1:00:06Speaker 00

  Oh my God, you're so strong.

• 1:00:07Speaker 02

  And then by lesson 12, you're like, okay, I trust you to go to the slums of Rio on your own.

• 1:00:11Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:00:12Speaker 02

  Um, and you were essentially like a, a walking Superman.

• 1:00:15Speaker 00

  Yeah, go on a podcast and say you can annihilate any man, although he did clarify not anyone heavier than him. Or bigger than him. He's like five, seven.

• 1:00:23Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:00:24Speaker 00

  So, so that that was a good clarification.

• 1:00:28Speaker 02

  Uh, how much?

• 1:00:28Speaker 00

  I'll say right now.

• 1:00:29Speaker 02

  Wait, you got skinny, right?

• 1:00:30Speaker 00

  I could annihilate any man that is, is, uh, not stronger than me or equal strength to me or even half the strength.

• 1:00:38Speaker 02

  I feel like if you're.

• 1:00:39Speaker 00

  Any man who's less than half the strength to me, I could annihilate.

• 1:00:41Speaker 06

  And the point of jujitsu is like you're supposed to be unassuming, but you can, you're lethal.

• 1:00:45Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's correct, Hank. I, I think most, uh, badasses in life don't go around saying they could annihilate other men. They just do it.

• 1:00:54Speaker 06

  True.

• 1:00:54Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:00:55Speaker 02

  I would beat the fuck out of anybody 10 years or younger.

• 1:00:59Speaker 00

  10 year old?

• 1:01:00Speaker 02

  10 year old. Yeah. Any 10 year old in the world.

• 1:01:02Speaker 00

  I still think I, I think there's a 10 year old out there that would fuck us up.

• 1:01:05Speaker 05

  There's definitely like a 10 year old that's in, uh.

• 1:01:07Speaker 00

  Yeah, he's got like abs and shit.

• 1:01:08Speaker 05

  He's wrestling bears in Russia.

• 1:01:10Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:01:11Speaker 02

  Thought about Habib.

• 1:01:12Speaker 06

  The kids that do like American Ninja Warriors.

• 1:01:14Speaker 00

  Yeah, you forgot about Habib.

• 1:01:16Speaker 02

  Well, if we're, if they're trying to like escape me on a jungle gym, then yeah, but I'm saying like in the dojo.

• 1:01:20Speaker 00

  10 year old Habib would have fucked you up.

• 1:01:22Speaker 02

  No, I think.

• 1:01:23Speaker 00

  He would have wrestled you to the ground, dude.

• 1:01:24Speaker 02

  Probably like five foot one. He probably weighed 70 pounds.

• 1:01:28Speaker 00

  But it doesn't matter that wrestling is different.

• 1:01:30Speaker 02

  He would, P, he was wrestling bears though. He was wrestling bears, P. Yep, yep. That's a fact. Bears are probably taking it easy on him.

• 1:01:39Speaker 00

  Why'd you search UFC airport?

• 1:01:41Speaker 03

  Uh, me, we made a good point.

• 1:01:42Speaker 00

  What?

• 1:01:43Speaker 04

  You were like, uh, people who could fight don't say.

• 1:01:46Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:01:46Speaker 04

  Fuck you up. Dustin Poirier told this guy he was gonna fuck him.

• 1:01:49Speaker 00

  Well, he was also hammered, I think.

• 1:01:51Speaker 04

  He still said it.

• 1:01:52Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's true. But he also.

• 1:01:55Speaker 06

  He's a professional.

• 1:01:56Speaker 02

  I think legally you have to tell somebody.

• 1:01:57Speaker 00

  Yeah, he probably was giving him a warning.

• 1:01:59Speaker 02

  Like, hey, you take one more step.

• 1:02:00Speaker 00

  Bad dude.

• 1:02:01Speaker 02

  And it's gonna be a nightmare for you. And then legally you can't get sued or arrested at, at, at that point.

• 1:02:06Speaker 00

  I would take anyone with cauliflower ear over Jonah Hill. Let's say that.

• 1:02:09Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:02:10Speaker 00

  That's fair. Okay, let's do our Mount Rushmore. Brought to you by our friends at Reese's. I have the four pack right here. There's something for everyone when it comes to Reese's. Reese's is the one, one pick. Hank wants some right now. Reese's is the 1-1 pick of candy. If we did a Mount Rushmore candy, it'd be Reese's. Guess what? It would probably go all Reese's across the first round because they have everything. The Reese's sticks, the Reese's with Oreo, the Reese's peanut butter cups with marshmallow. They are the Spanish national team of candy. They are the Carolina Hurricanes of candy. They are the, who won the NBA title. The San Antonio Spurs of candy. No, they're the

• 1:02:51Speaker 00

  New York Knicks. There you go memes of candy. Reese's is the best candy in the world. We love it. We have the Reese's lounge upstairs. The animal crackers with Reese's. I'm just gonna put everyone, if you haven't been onto it, you gotta get onto it. Also, the, uh, the pretzels. They're all, they're all the best because Reese's only does the best. Reese's the official candy partner of Barstool Sports. Go get Reese's wherever you shop. Okay, boys. Mount Rushmore of best places, or I guess, you know, best is redundant. Mount Rushmore of places to get drunk that are not a bar.

• 1:03:24Speaker 02

  Love this one. Great topic.

• 1:03:26Speaker 00

  Great topic.

• 1:03:26Speaker 02

  Deep topic.

• 1:03:27Speaker 00

  Deep topic.

• 1:03:29Speaker 02

  Lot of good picks out there. So, you know, I, this is one of the ones where I'm just calling it ahead of time. The, uh, the undrafted free agents are gonna put together a hell of a team.

• 1:03:37Speaker 00

  Oh yeah, people be pissed. So, right now, it's memes, uh, Max and myself, 39 points, PFT 29 points, Hank and Zach 28 points. They came in second.

• 1:03:46Speaker 06

  Anyone's, anyone's year.

• 1:03:47Speaker 00

  Anyone's year. Anyone's year. And Hank, you are not gonna be here Friday. Are you comfortable with Zach going solo dolo?

• 1:03:56Speaker 06

  Extremely.

• 1:03:57Speaker 00

  So, will you even text with him?

• 1:03:59Speaker 06

  Yeah, I told him, I told him to text me topic. I'll, I'll send him, like, options, but I will let him do whatever he wants in terms of choosing.

• 1:04:09Speaker 05

  When this team's not in person, we go virtual.

• 1:04:12Speaker 02

  And Zach, how are you feeling? Are you feeling comfortable about that? Or do you want, like, some, uh, do you want hands-on advice from Hank?

• 1:04:18Speaker 05

  Hopefully, I can do good, or right by the team, you know?

• 1:04:21Speaker 00

  Okay. Maybe you're just a star.

• 1:04:23Speaker 02

  Like, do you want the ball?

• 1:04:24Speaker 00

  Maybe Hank is, is, is holding you down.

• 1:04:26Speaker 05

  No, we're a great team. I think we're, we had a great showing last week. I think we're gonna continue to do the best we can do.

• 1:04:31Speaker 02

  Do you want the ball in your hand? Or do you want Hank, like, maybe taking the last shot? Are you gonna be consulting with him up to the last second?

• 1:04:37Speaker 05

  I'm typically a pass-first guy, so there is some stress going into Friday, but...

• 1:04:42Speaker 00

  All right, cuz three years ago, when Hank and Max were on a team, Hank left for a week for vacation and Max was ripped off, I think, three straight. Wins.

• 1:04:52Speaker 04

  That could be a coincidence.

• 1:04:53Speaker 06

  That you that's. Three straight wins?

• 1:04:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, I mean, it was.

• 1:04:58Speaker 03

  And then I and then I left the week after, and I think it was three straight out.

• 1:05:02Speaker 02

  Yeah. A pretty big sample size. It was also, I think, I believe that might have been.

• 1:05:07Speaker 06

  Who cares about last year and the past years? You guys are living in the past. You guys are living in the past.

• 1:05:13Speaker 02

  When Max found the meatball system.

• 1:05:14Speaker 03

  Three years. I didn't. You were the one who started to question it. I was just answering your question.

• 1:05:18Speaker 00

  The meatball system was revolutionary. It changed the game. It was basically like Billy Bean and the Oakland A's. When Max realized you could pick meatballs for any draft.

• 1:05:27Speaker 03

  No, it was really like draft day meatballs no matter what.

• 1:05:30Speaker 00

  On every pick.

• 1:05:31Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:05:31Speaker 00

  Okay, uh, PFT is going first. Max memes and I are going second, and then Hank and Zach are going third. We somehow are two months into Mount Rushmore. We still fuck up the order because Hank walked in and he said, I have first pick. We have first pick, right? And I said, no, you have third. He said, fuck.

• 1:05:48Speaker 04

  Yeah, still doesn't get it.

• 1:05:51Speaker 02

  Okay, one, one.

• 1:05:54Speaker 02

  I'm gonna go with wedding.

• 1:05:56Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:05:58Speaker 02

  Wait, what are we saying? Wait about memes?

• 1:06:00Speaker 00

  What are we saying? Wait?

• 1:06:01Speaker 04

  No, PFT has first pick.

• 1:06:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:06:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:06:05Speaker 04

  Oh, we have second.

• 1:06:05Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah, we have second.

• 1:06:09Speaker 04

  Hank saying.

• 1:06:10Speaker 00

  That's a box. That's a box.

• 1:06:12Speaker 04

  Yeah, that fucks me up.

• 1:06:13Speaker 00

  So we fucked up the the fuck. We I was telling a story about fucking up, and then you almost fucked us up again.

• 1:06:18Speaker 04

  You saying that made me think that we were fucking up, but we did fuck up.

• 1:06:21Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:06:22Speaker 04

  We're second.

• 1:06:22Speaker 00

  All right, wedding, first pick.

• 1:06:23Speaker 02

  I also like the easy one, one.

• 1:06:25Speaker 03

  I like that you set the tone of like traditional bar because technically there are bars.

• 1:06:30Speaker 00

  Yeah, no, no, we're we're not.

• 1:06:32Speaker 03

  I wanted to make sure that we were.

• 1:06:34Speaker 00

  Just because you got a drink from a temporary bar does not mean that it's a bar.

• 1:06:38Speaker 03

  The wedding is not a bar.

• 1:06:39Speaker 02

  Now, that would be a good Mount Rushmore, too. Like, Mount Rushmore of places to sneak booze into.

• 1:06:43Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:06:44Speaker 02

  Like, places that definitively do not have bars.

• 1:06:46Speaker 03

  Right.

• 1:06:46Speaker 00

  Yeah, like, like Zach has a water bottle at his desk that is filled with booze every day. People don't know that about.

• 1:06:53Speaker 02

  Yeah, work, one.

• 1:06:55Speaker 00

  It's like Maurice Claret. He's got to get his goose on.

• 1:06:57Speaker 02

  Court, court would be a good one.

• 1:07:00Speaker 03

  All right, we have our one.

• 1:07:01Speaker 00

  A portion click would actually be a good place to get drunk.

• 1:07:04Speaker 02

  Actually, yeah, most of those.

• 1:07:06Speaker 05

  I'm drunk right now.

• 1:07:07Speaker 00

  Uh, okay, we have our one one. Tailgating. Tailgating.

• 1:07:12Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:07:12Speaker 00

  There's just nothing better than like being outside, getting the big vibes game.

• 1:07:18Speaker 03

  You wake up early, you get you get to the stadium as quickly as possible. It's a big game feel. You're so in. You're so excited to get into the stadium for the big game and you're just got all your friends together. Just like a little foldable table there.

• 1:07:32Speaker 00

  You got that one friend who's just just killing the grill for you. Maybe breakfast burritos into steak tips.

• 1:07:39Speaker 03

  It's the best.

• 1:07:40Speaker 00

  Oh, I just need football tailgating back. It's the best. You might meet a hot guy and then you invite him into the to the office and then you do a competition to confirm that he's a hot guy. That kind of tailgating. You know, normal guy stuff. Okay.

• 1:07:55Speaker 06

  That was our one one as well. Good pick.

• 1:07:59Speaker 06

  I will be, oh, did you hear Zach?

• 1:08:01Speaker 00

  Oh, what'd he say?

• 1:08:02Speaker 06

  He said, how's that fall?

• 1:08:04Speaker 03

  That's great value at two.

• 1:08:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, we liked it at two. We would have taken it at one.

• 1:08:08Speaker 06

  Same.

• 1:08:09Speaker 00

  We liked it at two.

• 1:08:10Speaker 06

  Uh, I will go with, I was not going to take this one one, even though it is my one one, the golf course.

• 1:08:17Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:08:17Speaker 00

  Okay, yeah.

• 1:08:18Speaker 06

  Nothing better.

• 1:08:19Speaker 03

  I mean, it got back to us.

• 1:08:20Speaker 06

  As as fun as it is to golf. Most of the fun is just being out there with your boys, having a good time. You get to, you know. Have some drinks during the round and you get to hang out, eat after some on the patio. Turn a turn a four hour round in like a nine hour day. There's there's no better day in my opinion.

• 1:08:37Speaker 02

  I would say that.

• 1:08:37Speaker 06

  I'd rather get drunk at a golf course than a bar.

• 1:08:40Speaker 02

  Yeah, I would say that like getting drunk on the course. I'd like to get buzzed on the course and then get drunk after.

• 1:08:45Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:08:46Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:08:46Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:08:48Speaker 00

  Okay, good pick.

• 1:08:50Speaker 06

  Zach.

• 1:08:51Speaker 05

  Eating four or two.

• 1:08:53Speaker 00

  Ooh.

• 1:08:55Speaker 06

  Uh.

• 1:08:57Speaker 00

  You guys take as much time.

• 1:08:58Speaker 06

  I don't like, I don't hate thirteen.

• 1:09:00Speaker 00

  Oh, see thirteen, four, two.

• 1:09:02Speaker 03

  I'm gonna go seven, Hank.

• 1:09:04Speaker 06

  Yeah, on the big list.

• 1:09:05Speaker 00

  I have no problem with you guys talking it out.

• 1:09:08Speaker 05

  All right, yeah, we can do that. Yeah, I'm in.

• 1:09:10Speaker 03

  We're gonna go sporting event.

• 1:09:12Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:09:13Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:09:13Speaker 00

  Okay. Any specifics or just all sporting events?

• 1:09:16Speaker 06

  Well, if you don't do specifics, then it's gonna be.

• 1:09:18Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:09:20Speaker 03

  It's just the worst form of our pick, but that's fine.

• 1:09:22Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:09:23Speaker 02

  Just any sporting event.

• 1:09:24Speaker 00

  Any sporting event.

• 1:09:26Speaker 02

  Youth soccer game.

• 1:09:27Speaker 00

  Golf.

• 1:09:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:09:28Speaker 00

  Golf, a golf tournament.

• 1:09:30Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:09:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:09:32Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:09:33Speaker 00

  I. We're green.

• 1:09:35Speaker 02

  Little League World Series.

• 1:09:36Speaker 06

  Well, Max, what was your, how would you phrase it, Max?

• 1:09:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, strong point.

• 1:09:41Speaker 03

  Well, we were, we had, we had baseball. We just had baseball.

• 1:09:44Speaker 00

  Yeah, we just had specifically.

• 1:09:45Speaker 06

  But then that would have just turned into.

• 1:09:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:09:47Speaker 00

  Yeah. Just because we were like the, the best, the best place to get drunk is summer outdoors baseball game.

• 1:09:53Speaker 06

  What about fall football game?

• 1:09:54Speaker 02

  College football game is pretty good.

• 1:09:55Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:09:56Speaker 00

  Football's good.

• 1:09:56Speaker 06

  What about NBA finals game?

• 1:09:59Speaker 03

  Nah.

• 1:09:59Speaker 02

  Nah, that's not, it's a great one. It's a great one. Would recommend.

• 1:10:02Speaker 06

  Same, same.

• 1:10:04Speaker 00

  Oh, what do we do now? We have everything. We have our whole board.

• 1:10:07Speaker 03

  I think we just.

• 1:10:07Speaker 06

  You didn't have those two picks?

• 1:10:08Speaker 00

  All right.

• 1:10:09Speaker 06

  There's three picks off your board.

• 1:10:12Speaker 02

  We big board.

• 1:10:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, we had. Yeah, it's a big board.

• 1:10:15Speaker 00

  It's a big board. We got a big fucking board, dude.

• 1:10:17Speaker 03

  I think we stick with nine.

• 1:10:18Speaker 00

  All right.

• 1:10:19Speaker 03

  That's what we were gonna.

• 1:10:19Speaker 00

  We're at three. All right, we'll go backyard barbecue. Just great vibes.

• 1:10:25Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:10:25Speaker 00

  Great time.

• 1:10:26Speaker 03

  Whether it's, you know, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, or just getting your buddies together, get in the backyard, get the grill going and.

• 1:10:33Speaker 00

  Place some, place some bags.

• 1:10:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, play some beer dye.

• 1:10:36Speaker 00

  Beer dye, ooh, beer dye, elite.

• 1:10:39Speaker 03

  Great vibes out there.

• 1:10:40Speaker 00

  Great vibes. Get someone on the ox. Maybe put on Sublime, Sublime.

• 1:10:44Speaker 03

  Come on now.

• 1:10:45Speaker 00

  Come on now.

• 1:10:46Speaker 02

  Sounds terrible. I'm gonna go with, uh, on a boat.

• 1:10:50Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:10:51Speaker 06

  Good pick.

• 1:10:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:10:51Speaker 02

  We had it. On, on a boat and then I'm gonna give it a one-two punch, boat followed by concert.

• 1:10:56Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:10:57Speaker 02

  At a concert.

• 1:10:58Speaker 03

  You're a drug guy.

• 1:10:59Speaker 02

  I'm not a drug guy.

• 1:11:00Speaker 03

  You, you.

• 1:11:01Speaker 02

  I enjoy, I enjoy some drugs. I enjoy all the good drugs and none of the bad drugs. Uh, but at a concert, yeah, you have to have, you have to have some booze at a concert. Or at least I, I, I enjoy having some booze at a concert. I think most people out there do too. You get, you double fist it, you stand, you get the like two thirty-two ounce beers and you're good to go for the entire night.

• 1:11:22Speaker 00

  Okay, uh, we're gonna take with our next picks, uh, the beach.

• 1:11:27Speaker 02

  Yep, good pick.

• 1:11:28Speaker 00

  Love getting drunk at the beach. There's not the, the, the beach all day drunk and then like going back inside and being like, oh, fuck, I'm drunk. That was fun. And then taking a shower and like re, re-energizing yourself. It's a great feeling.

• 1:11:42Speaker 03

  Again, so many great games you can play on the beach. You get a little high, just jump in.

• 1:11:46Speaker 00

  Little spike ball. You like spike, but little can jam, Hank?

• 1:11:48Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah. I'll be, I'll be doing that this week.

• 1:11:50Speaker 00

  Yeah, you know it. Fuck, yeah.

• 1:11:54Speaker 00

  You gonna be on a golf course this week?

• 1:11:56Speaker 06

  I will not be on a golf course this week. Yeah. I know. I mean, it is what it is. Um, I'll be on a beach instead. Tough. Zach.

• 1:12:07Speaker 00

  It's a good draft, boys. It's a good draft.

• 1:12:10Speaker 05

  What about, what about 13?

• 1:12:13Speaker 06

  We took 13 already.

• 1:12:14Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:12:15Speaker 05

  Yep. You're right.

• 1:12:17Speaker 00

  What was four and two? Were four and two just picked?

• 1:12:20Speaker 06

  Two was just picked. I don't hate five and four, but they're kind of redundant. I'm gonna go, we'll do five, Zach, and then I think, I think you just.

• 1:12:27Speaker 05

  Oh, we're going off two different fives and fours. My bad.

• 1:12:29Speaker 00

  Oh, no. You guys don't even have your.

• 1:12:31Speaker 03

  Oh, no. Well, you got, you got the big list or the little list? Or maybe even the in-between list?

• 1:12:36Speaker 05

  You thinking five and four up top?

• 1:12:38Speaker 02

  Wait, your five and four is the opposite of his.

• 1:12:40Speaker 06

  Or let's go two up top. Let's go, you wanna go, let's go two, two on the bottom.

• 1:12:44Speaker 02

  Also, you have two picks. You could just do both of those.

• 1:12:46Speaker 00

  You, can we just pause? Can we take a timeout real quick? You would be crushing us right now for this. Every time we'd say numbers, you get mad. You guys don't even have the same numbers.

• 1:12:55Speaker 05

  These are two numbers. You guys go on three numbers. The equation gets.

• 1:12:57Speaker 00

  You guys don't even have the same list.

• 1:13:00Speaker 06

  What about two and eight on the bottom?

• 1:13:01Speaker 00

  You guys don't even have the same list.

• 1:13:02Speaker 03

  I think they're doing this on.

• 1:13:03Speaker 05

  I'm in on that. I think they're doing this on purpose.

• 1:13:05Speaker 00

  I don't think so.

• 1:13:05Speaker 03

  Yeah, look at Hank.

• 1:13:06Speaker 00

  Yeah. No, he's now, he's pretending to do it on purpose.

• 1:13:10Speaker 06

  Uh, we're gonna go.

• 1:13:11Speaker 02

  I number my list too, and I have these internal debates in my head.

• 1:13:15Speaker 00

  You should talk them out.

• 1:13:16Speaker 02

  I do.

• 1:13:16Speaker 00

  Talk them out.

• 1:13:17Speaker 02

  And they're not, and the weird thing about my list right now, my list right now goes seven, 10, eight, nine, three. And, and zero. I have a zero. I have a number zero.

• 1:13:28Speaker 03

  We actually went into this. We were like, let's actually, let's actually number these out in order so that.

• 1:13:32Speaker 00

  So Hank, kid.

• 1:13:34Speaker 06

  Finally.

• 1:13:34Speaker 03

  No, but then we were like, we can't, we can't do it. We gotta see, we gotta see where the board plays out.

• 1:13:38Speaker 00

  Yeah. It's all about, it's, you gotta, you gotta go with the flow of the draft.

• 1:13:42Speaker 06

  We are gonna go, uh, house party.

• 1:13:46Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:13:46Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:13:46Speaker 02

  Good pick. I had it.

• 1:13:48Speaker 00

  Have it.

• 1:13:50Speaker 05

  You thinking eight on the bottom?

• 1:13:52Speaker 06

  I think, I think so.

• 1:13:54Speaker 05

  Eight or nine?

• 1:13:56Speaker 06

  I don't even know what nine is.

• 1:13:57Speaker 05

  What?

• 1:13:58Speaker 00

  Uh oh.

• 1:13:59Speaker 03

  Gotta be nine then.

• 1:14:00Speaker 06

  It's eight.

• 1:14:01Speaker 00

  No, you gotta do nine. Gotta do nine.

• 1:14:03Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:14:03Speaker 00

  Gotta do nine.

• 1:14:04Speaker 05

  Casino.

• 1:14:06Speaker 02

  Gamble responsibly.

• 1:14:06Speaker 03

  That's actually.

• 1:14:07Speaker 02

  No. Gamble responsibly.

• 1:14:08Speaker 03

  Terrible pick. That's like the wor- the last- that's a terrible pick.

• 1:14:13Speaker 02

  Gambling and alcohol don't mix.

• 1:14:14Speaker 00

  Yeah. Okay.

• 1:14:16Speaker 02

  Gamble responsibly.

• 1:14:17Speaker 03

  You may ju- you may just have to lose your pick for that pick.

• 1:14:19Speaker 05

  Do we go with nine?

• 1:14:20Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:14:21Speaker 03

  No, no.

• 1:14:22Speaker 00

  No, Zach, you have casino.

• 1:14:24Speaker 05

  What, how you not?

• 1:14:25Speaker 03

  That, that's a horrendous pick.

• 1:14:26Speaker 05

  What happened with nine? Is yours blank?

• 1:14:29Speaker 03

  The casino, that's the, that's the number one thing the casino wants you to do.

• 1:14:34Speaker 05

  Yeah, I didn't say is the correct choice. I said if, a choice feels right, you know?

• 1:14:39Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:14:40Speaker 02

  I choose not to speak. If I speak, I'm in big trouble.

• 1:14:42Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:14:43Speaker 05

  Alright, I choose not to speak as well.

• 1:14:44Speaker 03

  There is a chance we may just have to.

• 1:14:45Speaker 00

  You already spoke.

• 1:14:46Speaker 03

  We, we may just have to redact that pick.

• 1:14:48Speaker 00

  No, you could get drunk at a casino. You're allowed to get drunk at a casino.

• 1:14:52Speaker 02

  He didn't say anything about gambling.

• 1:14:53Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. He's just said at a casino.

• 1:14:55Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:14:56Speaker 06

  They serve you alcohol.

• 1:14:57Speaker 00

  I know, yeah, yeah. I, personally, I love getting drunk at a casino and not gambling.

• 1:15:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:15:02Speaker 00

  That's one of my favorite things.

• 1:15:04Speaker 02

  That's the smartest way to do it.

• 1:15:05Speaker 00

  It's actually, it's like an.

• 1:15:06Speaker 03

  We may have to put that off.

• 1:15:07Speaker 06

  No, shut the fuck up.

• 1:15:08Speaker 03

  Without gambling.

• 1:15:09Speaker 00

  It's like, it's like getting drunk i- in an airport. It's pretty much the same thing. It's so much fun.

• 1:15:16Speaker 03

  Should we go with, with what we were saying?

• 1:15:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:15:18Speaker 03

  For, for, you know what, you know what actually is really fun to get drunk at?

• 1:15:21Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:15:22Speaker 03

  Hank, you may have a little bit of experience with this. We're gonna go with the championship parade.

• 1:15:24Speaker 00

  Championship parade. Very fun.

• 1:15:27Speaker 06

  Good pick, great pick, yeah.

• 1:15:29Speaker 00

  Very fun to get.

• 1:15:29Speaker 06

  Probably should have taken it. Best day of my life. Actually, Missoula was in my dream last night.

• 1:15:33Speaker 00

  What?

• 1:15:34Speaker 06

  Yeah, I went to his house.

• 1:15:35Speaker 00

  Tell us about it.

• 1:15:36Speaker 06

  Uh.

• 1:15:36Speaker 00

  Were you drunk?

• 1:15:37Speaker 06

  Jackie Chan was there.

• 1:15:38Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:15:39Speaker 02

  Alright.

• 1:15:43Speaker 00

  Keep going. No, don't hold back. Don't hold back. I know you're gonna hold back right now, but I wanna know what Jackie Chan was doing to you.

• 1:15:51Speaker 06

  This is crazy. We actually.

• 1:15:53Speaker 03

  They were just choking each other out.

• 1:15:55Speaker 00

  They were just taking turns choking each other out? Was Jonah Hill there?

• 1:15:59Speaker 06

  It wasn't Jackie Chan. It was a guy named Chan, and then I called him Jackie Chan in the dream, and then the room got silent. They're like, his name, that's not Jackie Chan. Like, it's Mike Chan. And then like, then like, my, my friends from home were there.

• 1:16:09Speaker 02

  That was Steven Che.

• 1:16:11Speaker 00

  You were racist in your dream?

• 1:16:12Speaker 06

  Crazy. I, I don't even know why I said that, but yeah.

• 1:16:21Speaker 00

  What hap- what else happened? Did everyone laugh to you?

• 1:16:24Speaker 06

  No, I got kinda awkward, like my, some of my friends from home were there and then like they kinda, like that was kinda like then we were watching a movie and then that was kinda like the end of the night.

• 1:16:34Speaker 02

  You guys just hung out, you not Jackie Chan, Missoula.

• 1:16:37Speaker 00

  An Asian guy named Chan.

• 1:16:39Speaker 06

  My friends from home.

• 1:16:40Speaker 00

  Who was not Jackie Chan.

• 1:16:41Speaker 06

  His wife was there. It was a great, it was a great dream. I wish it happened in real life, minus the Chan part.

• 1:16:46Speaker 02

  How's Missoula doing?

• 1:16:48Speaker 06

  He's doing good.

• 1:16:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, what movie were we watching?

• 1:16:50Speaker 06

  It was like, it was like Star Wars, but it wasn't, like it wasn't Star Wars.

• 1:16:54Speaker 00

  Oh, okay.

• 1:16:55Speaker 06

  It was like a new Star Wars.

• 1:16:56Speaker 02

  It was like a Star Wars. Star Wars took place in Boston and they, they robbed banks instead of flying X- rays.

• 1:17:02Speaker 00

  It was a Star Wars, but it wasn't Star Wars, it was like a new Star Wars. I know exactly what you're talking about.

• 1:17:08Speaker 06

  Like the plot of the movie wasn't any of the Star Wars movies that have come out.

• 1:17:11Speaker 00

  But it looked like Star Wars.

• 1:17:12Speaker 06

  Like I think Darth Vader was in it.

• 1:17:14Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:17:15Speaker 00

  He had a spinoff.

• 1:17:15Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:17:16Speaker 02

  Whose Millennium Falcon we taking?

• 1:17:17Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm, okay. All right, last pick, PFT.

• 1:17:20Speaker 02

  All right, last one, um.

• 1:17:24Speaker 02

  Lot of good picks, lot of good picks still on the board right here. I'm gonna go with on a plane.

• 1:17:30Speaker 00

  Mmm.

• 1:17:31Speaker 02

  Drinking on a plane. Fun times.

• 1:17:34Speaker 00

  I do not enjoy drinking on a plane.

• 1:17:36Speaker 02

  I do.

• 1:17:37Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:17:37Speaker 02

  That's the beauty of Mount Rushmore.

• 1:17:39Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:17:40Speaker 02

  Drinking on a plane, they made a song about it, so good.

• 1:17:43Speaker 00

  Yeah. Anyone thoughts? You guys drink on a plane?

• 1:17:47Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:17:48Speaker 00

  I just sleep on a plane.

• 1:17:48Speaker 02

  If you're on your way to a vacation and you get on a plane going there and you got nothing else to do for the rest of that day, you get on the plane, let's just say it's 9 a.m., they bring by the champagne or the first cart person comes by and you say, yeah, you know what? I know it's 9 a.m. I'll have a beer, fuck it. That beer turns into two beers that hits you at altitudes, you get drunk faster, you have a great time, you're so excited about the vacation, by the time you land.

• 1:18:13Speaker 06

  You feel like shit.

• 1:18:14Speaker 02

  You hit the, no.

• 1:18:15Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's, that's why I don't like drinking on a plane.

• 1:18:17Speaker 02

  You hit the ground running to start your vacation.

• 1:18:19Speaker 00

  When I.

• 1:18:20Speaker 02

  And you're having the best time ever.

• 1:18:21Speaker 06

  Then you have to travel.

• 1:18:22Speaker 00

  When I get off a plane and I'm drunk, I'm like, fuck, why did I do that? Cause I now feel a little hungover, a little jet lag and then I gotta get in an Uber. I'm like shit.

• 1:18:34Speaker 02

  The best is it's on the way to the vacation and it makes the start of your trip that much better. It's the mindset.

• 1:18:40Speaker 06

  I like getting drunk.

• 1:18:41Speaker 02

  There's so many better picks. The entire plane is so good.

• 1:18:43Speaker 06

  At the airport.

• 1:18:44Speaker 02

  You're not a plane guy, that's fine.

• 1:18:45Speaker 06

  But that's a bar.

• 1:18:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, I had airport too. Airport.

• 1:18:48Speaker 06

  But airport's a bar. Airport would not have counted.

• 1:18:50Speaker 02

  No. Airport doesn't count.

• 1:18:52Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:18:53Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:18:53Speaker 06

  Unless you are like going to duty free.

• 1:18:55Speaker 02

  The airport bar, yeah. So I took, I took airplane instead of airport. I also had at the end, uh, at a movie, getting drunk while you watch a movie is fun.

• 1:19:07Speaker 02

  Well, this is honorable mention.

• 1:19:08Speaker 06

  No, I know.

• 1:19:09Speaker 00

  These are honorable mentions. I don't like getting drunk.

• 1:19:11Speaker 02

  You don't like it? You don't like having beers while you're watching a movie?

• 1:19:13Speaker 00

  I don't. I like to focus on the movie.

• 1:19:15Speaker 03

  I like a soda.

• 1:19:16Speaker 06

  If we should have, do you think Thanksgiving would have been a better pick than casino?

• 1:19:20Speaker 00

  Uh, would have been a better pick, yeah. Probably would have. I mean, there's a lot of picks that are still.

• 1:19:24Speaker 03

  What was the thing that?

• 1:19:25Speaker 00

  Lake House?

• 1:19:25Speaker 06

  Zach, Zach had, what is plane?

• 1:19:28Speaker 03

  What?

• 1:19:29Speaker 06

  Oh my god.

• 1:19:31Speaker 03

  Oh my god.

• 1:19:32Speaker 06

  Zach spelled it P L A I N.

• 1:19:42Speaker 06

  I was reading it. I'm like, what the fuck is?

• 1:19:45Speaker 03

  You were thinking like a coastal play.

• 1:19:46Speaker 06

  I didn't know what I like. I read the word plane, but I didn't realize he meant.

• 1:19:51Speaker 03

  I was confused. I was like, what do you mean? You don't know nine?

• 1:19:54Speaker 00

  Oh my god.

• 1:19:56Speaker 02

  That's equally bad for Zach and for Hank.

• 1:19:59Speaker 00

  No. Oh yeah.

• 1:20:01Speaker 03

  No, I'm at.

• 1:20:02Speaker 00

  That's bad for Zach.

• 1:20:03Speaker 03

  That's bad for Zach.

• 1:20:04Speaker 02

  For Hank reading the word plane and not understanding.

• 1:20:06Speaker 00

  I don't think I would understand it.

• 1:20:08Speaker 03

  Plane?

• 1:20:09Speaker 00

  It says plane.

• 1:20:09Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:20:10Speaker 00

  It's spelled plane.

• 1:20:12Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:20:13Speaker 03

  Plane. He just took plane.

• 1:20:15Speaker 00

  I understand, but you took plane.

• 1:20:19Speaker 06

  He just took plane.

• 1:20:21Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:20:23Speaker 02

  No, he took plane.

• 1:20:24Speaker 03

  No, cuz a plane is a, it's a.

• 1:20:26Speaker 06

  It's a semantic.

• 1:20:27Speaker 03

  It's a flat piece of land.

• 1:20:28Speaker 06

  Zach's talking about like the Midwest.

• 1:20:30Speaker 00

  Yeah, like you, you were talking about a cornfield in Nebraska.

• 1:20:33Speaker 06

  You guys never had a field party?

• 1:20:35Speaker 00

  Listen, we had woods on here. We had woods.

• 1:20:37Speaker 06

  Field party rips.

• 1:20:38Speaker 00

  Woods were on there.

• 1:20:39Speaker 06

  Yeah, camping. You guys are passing judgment thinking I meant flying plane.

• 1:20:42Speaker 00

  Lake House would have been great.

• 1:20:44Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 1:20:45Speaker 00

  Lake House, can, uh, woods, uh.

• 1:20:47Speaker 06

  I was gonna say your boy's basement, but that's kinda like a house party.

• 1:20:50Speaker 00

  I, we had basement.

• 1:20:51Speaker 03

  We had basement.

• 1:20:51Speaker 00

  Yeah, uh, rooftop.

• 1:20:55Speaker 02

  Rooftop's good.

• 1:20:55Speaker 03

  Rooftop is like very city.

• 1:20:57Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:20:58Speaker 03

  Centric though.

• 1:20:58Speaker 06

  Just a pool.

• 1:20:59Speaker 00

  Party bus.

• 1:21:00Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:21:00Speaker 02

  Pool.

• 1:21:00Speaker 03

  We had, we were gonna do beach and pool.

• 1:21:03Speaker 00

  Yeah, party bus.

• 1:21:04Speaker 02

  We had floating a river.

• 1:21:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's good.

• 1:21:06Speaker 03

  That's a good one.

• 1:21:07Speaker 00

  Street festival, block party, garage.

• 1:21:11Speaker 02

  Garage is good.

• 1:21:12Speaker 00

  Getting drunk in the garage, open up the garage door.

• 1:21:14Speaker 02

  We had your own house.

• 1:21:15Speaker 00

  Mm hmm. What else? Plane.

• 1:21:20Speaker 03

  Meme said the streets of New Orleans.

• 1:21:21Speaker 00

  Yeah, he said the streets, which would have been a tough, it would have been tough because where are you getting the drinks from?

• 1:21:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:21:27Speaker 00

  But yes.

• 1:21:27Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:21:28Speaker 00

  It's streets of New Orleans is fun.

• 1:21:29Speaker 03

  Men's softball game. Oh, that's a good one.

• 1:21:32Speaker 00

  Really good one. Meme's also asked when we were getting prepared, he said, can we just take a whole city? Like, I don't think so.

• 1:21:40Speaker 02

  I, I, I would have allowed that. If it was like streets.

• 1:21:42Speaker 00

  Where are you getting the drinks?

• 1:21:43Speaker 02

  If it was streets of New Orleans, there's a, there's probably some stands that you can, you can drive through, like the drive through daiquiri place.

• 1:21:49Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:21:50Speaker 02

  I would have allowed that.

• 1:21:52Speaker 03

  He also said resort, but I feel like those are, they're.

• 1:21:54Speaker 02

  That's resort bars. Yeah.

• 1:21:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:21:59Speaker 00

  Plane.

• 1:22:00Speaker 02

  Limo.

• 1:22:01Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:22:02Speaker 00

  I'd rather.

• 1:22:02Speaker 03

  Party bus, yeah, party bus limos.

• 1:22:04Speaker 00

  You can stand up.

• 1:22:05Speaker 03

  Similar vibe.

• 1:22:08Speaker 00

  Limos are just going out of style, though. I feel like you don't see limos anymore.

• 1:22:13Speaker 02

  No, me and Brandon tried to buy one.

• 1:22:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:22:15Speaker 02

  His mayor was selling one.

• 1:22:16Speaker 00

  I remember that. Would have been sick.

• 1:22:18Speaker 03

  Would have been.

• 1:22:18Speaker 00

  I want to be a limo driver. Be so sick.

• 1:22:21Speaker 03

  That was a very, that was a very funny turn of events right there.

• 1:22:24Speaker 00

  God, planes.

• 1:22:26Speaker 06

  I was so confused.

• 1:22:27Speaker 00

  Camping is a good one. Yeah.

• 1:22:29Speaker 03

  Oh, camping is great.

• 1:22:31Speaker 00

  Yeah. Camping's a great one.

• 1:22:34Speaker 00

  Yeah, plane. It's all right, Zach. Work. Not actually, that's a distant honorable mention. Getting drunk at work. Yeah, I think we got them all.

• 1:22:45Speaker 03

  Yeah, that was good.

• 1:22:45Speaker 00

  Hmm. That was a really good Mount Rushmore.

• 1:22:47Speaker 02

  I feel strong about it.

• 1:22:48Speaker 00

• 1:24:21Speaker 00

  Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest breaking down the MLB trade deadline. It is ESPN's Jeff Passan. Jeff, thank you for joining us. I, I made a critical error yesterday. I texted Jeff Passan on trade deadline day like six hours before the trade deadline, being like, hey, man, can you come on the show tomorrow? And then I got no response. And then like eight hours later, I said, hey, that was a really dumb text to send you right before trade deadline. So I apologize for that. It was chaotic. Was it not? Were you just, it was insane for you all day?

• 1:24:59Speaker 05

  I love getting inappropriate texts on trade deadline day.

• 1:25:03Speaker 00

  Yup.

• 1:25:03Speaker 05

  Because it, because it definitely makes me think, wow, what a self-important dipshit. Like, like who hasn't thought of what I might be doing right now? And the fact that like of all the days of the year, Dan, like it was, it was an impressive lack of feel. And that's the thing. You, you have, you have always come off to me as somebody who has Exceptional amount of feel like it feel I don't know is feel like a word in in other sports because it's a big baseball word.

• 1:25:35Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:25:35Speaker 05

  Where if you know, for those unfamiliar, you just got like feel of a situation. It's social awareness essentially. And and that it took you eight hours to realize what a dumbass you were. That's my favorite part of the whole thing.

• 1:25:50Speaker 00

  Oh, I knew right away. No, no, I knew right away. I expected I expected you to have the feel to be like, yeah, let's talk tomorrow. But you just ghosted me. So then I had to follow up.

• 1:26:01Speaker 05

  Did I did I lack feel there by not responding?

• 1:26:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, like a quick, just like, yeah, let's talk tomorrow would have been great just so I knew that you saw it. But that's the listen, I admit, I should have texted you on like Saturday and been like, hey, we'd love to have you on Tuesday. But either way, it was a great trade deadline. It was crazy, crazy. You got I feel like starting Saturday night with Tarek Skubal all the way up until the deadline. Was it 41 trades or something?

• 1:26:26Speaker 05

  It was, I believe it was 42 on deadline day alone.

• 1:26:29Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:26:30Speaker 05

  So starting Monday morning, I think with Luisa Rice was the first one. Yeah, 40, 42 trades at baseball's I don't I don't think the NFL's trade deadline day is is anything like this.

• 1:26:43Speaker 00

  No, no.

• 1:26:44Speaker 05

  Like the.

• 1:26:45Speaker 00

  Every year we say it's going to be big and then nothing happens.

• 1:26:47Speaker 05

  No, yeah. Yeah, the the NBA is usually has like at least a few big moves. But but to me, like, baseball has the best trade deadline by a mile. Even even if it's like a bunch of jobbers who are going back and forth. Like, that's the thing. People get so excited on trade deadline day about getting a middle reliever.

• 1:27:09Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:27:09Speaker 05

  When do when do we ever get excited in life about middle relievers on trade deadline day? It's like, wow, that guy could be the difference between us going to the World Series or not. And you start to. You start to convince yourself of things and it's it's the beauty of it.

• 1:27:24Speaker 00

  You're 100% right because out outside of a couple, the starting pitching that the Cubs got, the relievers they got, like I got pumped for guys I've just never seen play baseball. And I'm like, fuck yeah, dude, this guy's gonna be awesome. This is gonna be so sick.

• 1:27:38Speaker 05

  Ryan Zephyr John is going to be incredible. Actually, actually, you know what? That was that was a good pickup.

• 1:27:43Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:27:44Speaker 05

  I thought the Cubs, I thought the Cubs had an awesome day.

• 1:27:47Speaker 00

  I do too.

• 1:27:48Speaker 05

  And and and I it just like to me, it goes back to this. I understand the Dodgers, we're gonna, we're gonna talk about them, I'm sure. The Dodgers are in like their own category, but if you go and look at the rest of baseball right now, especially the American League, it is so winnable.

• 1:28:07Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 1:28:08Speaker 05

  And it is so there to be taken. And so the fact that the Red Sox went and like comically overpaid for Adley Rutchman, I don't care. They're going for it. I appreciate that. The not, you know, we, we have been conditioned as sports fans, and I think especially as baseball fans, but you've seen this in the NBA too, with the the whole idea of the the process. We've been conditioned to accept that now is not as important as the future.

• 1:28:36Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:28:37Speaker 05

  And I hate that. I hate that as a sports fan. I want executives and owners to treat this year like it's the last year that's going to be played. I want them to have reckless abandon trying to go for a championship right now, not because I have like a short attention span or because I have an inability to have delayed gratification. It's because can we just acknowledge, we don't know what the future's going to look like. We don't know when our franchise player is gonna suffer a catastrophic injury, or get arrested, or get divorced and have a terrible year because his mind's out. We can't predict any of these

• 1:29:17Speaker 05

  things. So why wouldn't we throw all of our resources at what we've got right now and try and steal a championship? Because that ultimately, that's what this is all for, right?

• 1:29:28Speaker 00

  Agree.

• 1:29:29Speaker 02

  I get it. And you said. Said it perfectly. We don't know if next year is going to exist at all in baseball. That's maybe kind of true. Like, are we gonna have, are we gonna have a sport next year? Nobody really knows what that's gonna look like this time in 12 months. But like, big picture stuff, how did that, how did the impending lockout and the, uh, the future CBA? How did that impact, if at all, this trade deadline?

• 1:29:52Speaker 05

  It certainly impacted it. I remember, uh, probably 48 hours ago, having a conversation with the GM. And we were talking about those guys who were free agents after the 2027 season. Cause there were, there were, I mean, Adley Rettman, chief among them, as guys whose contracts expire after 2027. And he was saying, we're having a hard time pricing this. Because the, the way, you know, it, it's, it's funny to me, like, fans, fans will come up to me and say, hey, like, who are the Yankees gonna get? Who are the Red Sox gonna get? And i- it's not so simple as either of those teams wants a specific guy and is going to go full bore for him.

• 1:30:34Speaker 05

  Like, i- in the NFL, you have 53-man rosters and you have taxi squads. In the NBA, you have 15-man rosters and D-league guys, or G-league, or whatever it's called right now. In baseball, you have 26-man rosters in the big leagues and 180 players in the minor leagues. So you have this whole wide universe from which trades can be made. So it doesn't come down to, we have these limited pieces here and we gotta figure out how to shuffle them within the constraints of a salary cap. In baseball, the world is your oyster when it comes to a trade. So you can do everything from focus on guys who are at the big leagues right now, to guys who are triple A or double A, maybe on the cusp, to 16 and 17-year-olds playing in the Dominican Summer League.

• 1:31:19Speaker 05

  Uh, you can trade some kinds of draft picks sometimes. Like, there are just all kinds of opportunities to make deals. So what these teams look for, almost more than individual players, is value plays. Where do we get the best value? Where do we feel like we

• 1:31:35Speaker 06

  Come out of this deal, which inherently, because it's at the trade deadline, you're going to be overpaying. Like it's an inefficient market like that, but in in the constraints of that inefficient market, how do we get the best value out of it? That's what they're looking for. And that's how the the Yankees wound up with Luis Garcia Jr., who does not fit what they need necessarily defensively. They have Paul Goldschmidt and Ben Rice at first base already. And so they got Luis Garcia because they're like, we need a hitter. We'll figure out where to play him. It was the, you know, it was the same situation with the Phillies and Luis Ariz. Like if everything goes how we expected to, Luis Ariz is going to play second base. Bryce Harper is going to shift to right field.

• 1:32:19Speaker 06

  Alec Bohm is going to shift from third base to first base. And Bryson Stott is going to shift from second base to third base. And I mean, Tim Kirkchin was like, this is a slow pitch softball team. And it like, dude, I have to say, spending a day with Tim Kirk.

• 1:32:37Speaker 06

  Everyone should do it at some point. He is the best.

• 1:32:40Speaker 02

  I just love it when he gets excited. When he, when he, when baseball, when the, when the stove is heating up the most, that's when he sounds like the Pillsbury Doughboy and he's, he's just, he's giddy all day long. I love watching him on TV.

• 1:32:50Speaker 00

  Funny. It's, yeah, he is great for baseball. All right. So off of what you just said, in terms of the, the vast resources teams have in which to trade at the trade deadline, let's talk about Tarek Skubal. And was there anyone who was as competitive as the Dodgers? Or was there, we have our conspiracy theories on this show that this is partially a collusion situation where the owners want the Dodgers to get all the best players, want them to win a World Series. So then all the fans say, hey, we need a salary cap. What, what transpired? Was anyone else in, you know, did the Brewers make an offer? Did the Rays make the offer? Cause I saw Scott Harris called the Dodgers himself on Saturday night. He's now the new reporter.

• 1:33:34Speaker 05

  The whole thing was very interesting and there certainly was was some consternation among the teams that did not get a bite at the Tarek Skubal apple, if you will. And and here here's the truth, guys. Scott Harris could have sat down because he he went around asking at the beginning for the number one player for every team. With the Rays, it was like, can we get Theo Gillen? And he was told no. Theo Gillen, who's, I think he's a 20 year old outfielder out of Austin, had a big breakout this year, year this year, dynamic guy, he's going to be a star. And the Rays just simply did not want to give up a player of that caliber for what amounts to a

• 1:34:19Speaker 05

  rental, regardless of how good Tarek Skubal is. Same thing with Brewers. Jesus Made is the number one prospect in all of baseball. They are not going to give that up. But here's the thing, the Dodgers weren't going to give up their number one prospect, Josue DePaula either, and they didn't want to give up Eduardo Quintero, another young outfielder as well. So I I think what the Tigers did was go and look through the rest of the prospects. And so with the Rays, for example, their number two and three prospects, Caden Bodine, Nathan Flewelling, both catchers, the Tigers have the best catcher in the big leagues in Dylan Dingler. So the match might not have been as good there. The Rays could have given, you know, five or six guys,

• 1:35:00Speaker 05

  but they would have been lesser. And I think it was clear that that Scott Harris wanted a a smaller and more robust package. With the Brewers, they could have done that. You know, Luis Peña is a shortstop and he is really good. They don't have outfielders quite the same way, though, that that the Dodgers did. And if you look at what the what the Tigers have right now, they have a long term shortstop in Kevin McGonigal. They are missing a corner outfielder right now to go alongside Riley Green and Max Clark. They want another pitcher who's throwing, you know, like Jackson Job's going to be coming back up after Tommy John surgery. Troy Melton,

• 1:35:45Speaker 05

  just been a breakout guy this year, and adding River Ryan. You know, I talked to someone with the Tigers and he's like, Our rotation next year is gonna have three guys who throw a hundred. And so that, you know, I think they looked at what the Dodgers had, looked at those assets and said, for this team we have right now, this makes sense. Now, all that being said, guys, I get the conspiracy theories. You guys are not the only ones. There are plenty of people within the baseball realm who are screaming, this is collusion, this is this, this is that. I've always been of the, and maybe this is the nerd reporter in me. I've always been of like, until I see evidence, I have a hard time believing it.

• 1:36:28Speaker 05

  And I just have a hard time, especially believing that an entire organization in the Detroit Tigers and all the other 28 non Dodgers organizations around Major League Baseball would agree to the idea of giving the most valuable thing, the only thing you play for, another time to a team that's already won the last two. Like, it's a, it's a fun story, it's a tidy little idea. It's just antithetical to the way that these people act and, and to their whole goals. Like, this is their livelihood. You think they're gonna sacrifice what they're doing on the altar of Major League Baseball, trying to get a salary cap? Maybe the answer is yes.

• 1:37:09Speaker 05

  I don't discount anything because MLB really wants a salary cap, guys. And I'll tell you, this, this goes a long way to pissing off fans and having pitchforks and torches in the, in the baseball streets.

• 1:37:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, so what's interesting is the timing of it. You know, if the deal was done on Saturday, there's still, you know, a day and a half left where you can actually get on the phone, get your best and final offer from other teams. As far as the Tigers and their front office goes, I don't, I, I'm not sure I really buy that they would be less inclined to trade him to the Dodgers because the Dodgers had won the World Series. That, like, especially in a different league. To me, that, that seems like, that wouldn't be as much of a factor if they feel like they're getting a fair offer in exchange for him. It's like, okay, the Dodgers are gonna win, you're the Tigers. You don't, that doesn't really affect you as much as if it was another American League team. And I do think that the motivation... From an ownership group would be bigger if you know you're not going to win the World Series

• 1:38:08Speaker 02

  this year. The motivation for getting that salary cap is maybe the most enticing carrot on a stick that you could have in the entire sport. And that's billions of dollars in your pocket moving forward. So I am thinking about the conspiracy here. The timing again on Saturday. Why? Can you explain to me? Because Big Cat had an idea of maybe they wanted to trade somebody else. So it didn't make sense to trade Scoobal.

• 1:38:33Speaker 00

  I thought it would had to go Scoobal first because then it's like basically the whole trade market is decided on Scoobal. And it's like, that's all of MLB. But then specifically for the Tigers, they were also going to trade Casey Mize. So it's like, you got to do the Scoobal deal first and then figure out where you go with Casey Mize. That was my understanding of why maybe one reasoning for why it went Saturday night and not all the way till Monday afternoon.

• 1:38:57Speaker 02

  So I guess my question is, what do you think? Like, could they have gotten better off? Is that, again, just like a tinfoil hat? Because I think it makes a lot of sense. Hang on to him for at least another day, another two days. As it's heating up, you've got that offer from the Dodgers. Do you think that there would have been competing offers, if not stronger offers?

• 1:39:17Speaker 05

  I don't think that's an unreasonable thing to think, guys. I also think that we have to factor in that waiting a longer time might not lead to bigger offers. Let's say that the Dodgers get tired of waiting around. And listen, this is a risk that you have to take. You need to go into the heads of other executives and try and think, okay, if I'm in their shoes, how am I going to handle this situation? But what if the Dodgers say, you know what, I'm tired of waiting. I'm going to pivot away from this and do something else. Now, that probably wasn't going to happen because there's nobody like Tarek Scoobal on the market. They were probably going to have the Dodgers just waiting there the whole

• 1:39:59Speaker 05

  time. But you run the risk then of not getting or of having another team. Out of it and then some of the other teams that have been in have made other moves already or traded away pieces that you might have wanted and I think it's a burden hand situation.

• 1:40:13Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah. And Scott Harris was able to make his moves after that. All right. Who else?

• 1:40:18Speaker 05

  And can I, can I just, can I just say this, guys? I want to put a bow on this. What the Tigers did might not have been right. What the Tigers did might not have been optimal. I also think that it's within reason enough to think that there was strategic elements involved in it. It might not have been the correct strategy, but I think it's a fair and reasonable one.

• 1:40:39Speaker 00

  Yeah. Okay. Who else won trade deadline for you? I thought the Padres, you know, talking about Casey Mize, who Casey Mize is a really, really good starter and the Padres are like, that's a team that has always kind of lived in that weird, you know, they're in the wild card. They're in the same division as the Dodgers. They basically said, hey, you know what? We're going to try to go for it. We're going to try to not be scared of the Dodgers.

• 1:41:01Speaker 05

  The Padres aren't scared of the Dodgers. They've, they've never been scared of the Dodgers. They've beaten the Dodgers in the playoffs, remember? Like it was them and the Diamondbacks. They have, you know, they have slain the beast there and shown that even though the Dodgers are the overwhelming favorite right now, baseball is a funny sport and especially in short series, you can see things not go the way of the most talented team. Sometimes the other team just gets on a heater. Sometimes you just play a utter horseshit series like that happens sometimes. But it was interesting because Casey Mize's market sort of collapsed there. In his last start, he'd come off the injured list with a groin issue. His velocity was down.

• 1:41:47Speaker 05

  A number of teams thought he was hurt and were going to see his start. Then he got scratched from that start and they're like, all right, you know what? We're, we're just not going to pay for somebody who might be broken. A.J. Preller.

• 1:42:01Speaker 05

  He's like, I don't, I don't care. I mean, he's a swashbuckler at the deadline and he'll go and do the things that other organizations are just not willing to do. And adding Casey Mize, adding Robbie Ray, whoever his last 10 starts has been one of the best pitchers in baseball and doing that to a team that's finally hitting, guys. It has taken more than half the season, but Fernando Tatis Jr. hitting, Manny Machado hitting, Jackson Merrill, they picked up Luis Rengifo. He's been one of the best hitters in baseball since the All-Star break. Ty France has been awesome this year. The Padres suddenly look really dangerous, but they have looked awful at points this season and it's a very helter-skelter team. And if they make the playoffs, yeah, they could be a problem. I'm just not sure

• 1:42:46Speaker 05

  that they're gonna make the playoffs.

• 1:42:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, sometimes the biggest trades are also the ones that don't get made out there. How about that bit of analysis? The Braves trying to make a move.

• 1:42:57Speaker 05

  Chestnut of wisdom.

• 1:42:58Speaker 02

  Exactly. DeGrom giving a big fuck you to the Braves. I love that. We got some Mets fans here in the office and that they love that. I just love the idea that, you know, like it probably wasn't just because he hates the Braves because he played in New York. There's probably some other factors in it, maybe that you know about, but it's fun to pretend that he was just kinda once a Met, always a Met.

• 1:43:18Speaker 05

  I mean, if you'd like to actually know that, no. I mean, I think he probably likes Atlanta better than New York and that's one of the cities that he would have gone to typically. But it was a family thing. He's got his family down in Texas. They're settled there. They're comfortable there. And beyond that, when Jacob deGrom got no trade protection in his contract, the idea is not just to be able to say yes or no, but to use it as an economic cudgel. And he's got a $37 million mutual option at the end of his contract and he very easily could have said, either you turn that $37 million mutual option into a player

• 1:43:59Speaker 05

  option that is now in my hands, or I'm not going to take this deal. So the financial parts of no trade protection come in and sometimes make the decision for him.

• 1:44:10Speaker 02

  Yeah. And then with Paul Skeens, was there ever anything that was close to happening with Paul Skeens?

• 1:44:16Speaker 05

  In in terms of him like

• 1:44:19Speaker 00

  In terms

• 1:44:19Speaker 05

  Having lunch or

• 1:44:21Speaker 00

  In terms of any trade, were the Pirates taking offers?

• 1:44:25Speaker 05

  Hell, no.

• 1:44:26Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:44:27Speaker 05

  No, no, they they're not. I mean, they're not even they're not even getting offers on that. Like, the Pirates, the Pirates went out and got a bunch of relief pitching yesterday. And it's interesting, guys, because I I think people probably don't realize the Pittsburgh Pirates have the third best offense in baseball this season. And they've been doing it lately without O'Neal Cruz and without Connor Griffin, too. So two of their best offensive players. Pirates starting rotation, highest fastball velocity in Major League Baseball, 97.6 miles per hour. They got a bunch of dudes who can chuck it. What they were missing was a bullpen. And while they didn't get big names, you know, they did get Luke Weaver, who was the best reliever out on the market. Getting Lake Barker, Kirby Yates as well, like, not big names.

• 1:45:13Speaker 05

  But it's the sort of thing, guys, that I think will go a long way to showing what the Pittsburgh Pirates can be. And inside of that clubhouse, they were, you know, Paul Skeens among them. They were really hoping to get relief pitching, and that's exactly what the front office did.

• 1:45:27Speaker 00

  Yeah, they're still in the wild card, three and a half games out. All right, I know you got to run in a second. I got a couple other quick hitters. What do you do if you're an Orioles fan today? Because that was a probably demoralizing, you know, trade to see the Orioles had a young core a few years ago. It was this hype, this everything's going in the right direction. They get swept in the playoffs. They never really got back to to that, like, level of baseball. And now it feels like another reset button if you're an Orioles fan.

• 1:45:57Speaker 05

  I I think that's fair. I think this is more reset than rebuild, though. And those are two, like, the Orioles, like, were the worst of the worst when it came to tanking. It's like them and the Astros. And after 2023, they they win 101 games. It's like, oh, my God, what is this team going to be? And again, this goes back, guys, to what we were talking about earlier. The Orioles thought that they were going to be a championship caliber contender for the next half decade. And it just has not worked for for we could go over a multitude of reasons. It just hasn't worked. And so Retrimen was like the face of that and to ship him away.

• 1:46:41Speaker 05

  It's painful. Getting back Anthony Iason and Kison Witherspoon and Andy Azakar and Carlos Narvaez. Like they crushed that deal. The Red Sox understood they were overpaying significantly. There was a tax for being in division. There was a tax for keeping him away from the Yankees.

• 1:47:01Speaker 05

  But they got their guy and they got a franchise caliber catcher for the next year and a half. When they believe they can win the American league and based on the way they've been playing lately. They they look like they've got a real shot at it.

• 1:47:13Speaker 02

  Yeah, I've got one other question for you here. This is actually maybe a little bit outside of your normal expertise area. But I'd like for you to break down this trade if you could. This broke last week. Kind of slipped under the radar before the baseball trades happened. There was a gorilla trade where the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago sent two Western lowland gorillas. It was a 20 year old and a 12 year old, both female Kamba and Nora. They went to Columbus in exchange for a 12 year old and an eight year old. So again, it's a 20 and a 12 year old for a 12 year old and an eight year old coming back to Chicago. So Chicago gets younger. Columbus, do you feel like this is an all in move for them? What's your breakdown of the gorilla trade?

• 1:47:56Speaker 05

  You need veterans in the gorilla world. I mean, it's it's it's hard out there in the trees. And when, listen, when you have somebody who's a force, somebody who's been there before, somebody who can take you through getting your ass kicked one day, getting punched in the face. And then someone coming up to you and just beating their chest and telling you you suck. You need someone there to pat the 12 year old on the head and say, it's okay. You can go grab them by the balls the next time and throw them to the ground and you have my permission. If it's a 12 year old and an eight year old, you know, they they haven't been there before.

• 1:48:35Speaker 05

  They don't understand the way that if you twist the nuts, then the gorilla goes down and won't fuck with you again.

• 1:48:42Speaker 00

  That's facts. We're gonna have, we're actually gonna have the president of the Brookfield Zoo on on Thursday. Break it all down. We're, we're preeminent zoo trade podcast. All right. Last question, Roback question, R H O B A C K dot com promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Q zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, roback.com promo code take. I know you got to run. Tell me, what is the date that Major League Baseball starts their season next year? And we're not going to hold you to this.

• 1:49:08Speaker 05

  Oh God, I hate this question so much because it's, because it's, because it's changed. For a long time I was on the no games missed train and I desperately want to stay there right now. So I'm going to continue to say, um, you know, I think the schedule starts March 25th or 26th next year. I'm going to continue to say that, but I am much closer to pushing that date back to June 1st.

• 1:49:38Speaker 00

  I was gonna say June 1st is my date. Yeah, June 1st. I think we're gonna have a season. It's gonna be a shortened season. Uh, Jeff, sorry again for texting you on trade deadline day, although again, I think you should have just like thumbed it up or something.

• 1:49:49Speaker 05

  I know. I, you, you made me, you actually, you actually made me think, should I have, should I have responded to him? And the answer, you selfish douche is still no.

• 1:50:01Speaker 00

  Okay. Well, I did clarify. I was like, I know there's a crazy time to text you. Uh, but yes, you're the best. And, uh, next time not trade deadline before the playoffs, we'll have you on for a longer time. And we always appreciate your time, man.

• 1:50:14Speaker 05

  Boy, it's always a pleasure. Thanks for having me.

• 1:50:18Speaker 02

• 1:50:45Speaker 00

  Okay, let's finish up. We got FAQ's. Henry.

• 1:50:48Speaker 06

  Uh, FAQ, should we talk FAQ? Since, you know, the book is basically a giant FAQ and we've been, what have we, what have we been doing all week?

• 1:50:55Speaker 00

  John Hancock's signing. A lot of books.

• 1:50:59Speaker 06

  That are on sale.

• 1:51:00Speaker 00

  Anderson, go buy now. Uh, I did like you, you Hank had, uh, Mr. Portnoy or he had Max read a random chapters, Mr. Portnoy's chapter. And I, I did read this like a few months ago when I was reading through the book and it was very funny. The line of Mr. Porter being like, I had a podcast, they had a podcast. I didn't understand why they were getting such big guests and I wasn't.

• 1:51:23Speaker 06

  Hmm. He also like took, I feel like I, I, I heard it as like almost a shot at his son. He was like, Dan took a big risk. Like not a lot of people knew, knew the company when they moved to New York. It's like, that's your son's empire.

• 1:51:36Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But Mr. Portnoy's in the book. We have a bunch of different chapters, but yeah, we've been signing books, Anderson books. You can still buy some signed copies. Uh, we are two weeks out, two weeks out from the book launching and, uh, we appreciate everyone who's bought. And if you're thinking about buying, you can also wait and buy it the week of it. That would be a big help.

• 1:51:55Speaker 02

  I gotta say, as good as the chapters are that are written by people, not us, like guests on the show, uh, you've got the SVP chapter. You've got, um, just a lot of people that like Joe Buck, uh, was, was able to contribute to the book too. A lot of people helped us out, but I think the best chapters are the, uh, Zach chapters.

• 1:52:11Speaker 00

  Zach chapters and also.

• 1:52:12Speaker 02

  Yeah. The, I, the just history of ice cream are just like what ice cream means to Zach is absolutely incredible and, uh, memes is chapter on how to rebuild the Jets. Pretty good too.

• 1:52:21Speaker 03

  And my chapter's wrong.

• 1:52:23Speaker 00

  Don't, don't forget, don't forget Max and Florio doing the Mount Rushmore of, uh, Italian.

• 1:52:29Speaker 03

  I have a terrible panic pick and that, uh, I've been, I, I've been stressing about for months because he took, he.

• 1:52:36Speaker 06

  Fauci?

• 1:52:37Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:52:39Speaker 00

  That would have been so funny.

• 1:52:40Speaker 03

  Well, there's it's, yeah, it's Italian Americans and sports. I guess he had something to do with sports.

• 1:52:45Speaker 02

  Italian Americans and sports. Who could it be? Shut it down. Who could it be, Max?

• 1:52:51Speaker 03

  I, you're gonna find out. Yeah. It was a panic pick and I'm, I'm like, uh, I'm mad at myself for it.

• 1:52:58Speaker 06

  Hello, soon to be bestselling authors. My brother and I argued about this consistently. Content wise, what is better for the show? A winning Hank or a losing Max? Also, how often do arguments happen the hour before recording that would make great content? Thank you for all you do. Team Hank.

• 1:53:15Speaker 00

  Yeah, it really depends on the level of heartbreak.

• 1:53:19Speaker 06

  I don't know.

• 1:53:20Speaker 03

  Shut up Hank.

• 1:53:21Speaker 00

  If it's bad, if it's a bad loss, then yes, 100% losing Max. Max at his worst is just absolute gasoline for the show.

• 1:53:29Speaker 06

  But think about a couple of years ago.

• 1:53:31Speaker 00

  No, shut up. No.

• 1:53:33Speaker 02

  Are you talking about for you personally?

• 1:53:34Speaker 00

  Yeah, he's talking about for you personally.

• 1:53:37Speaker 06

  No, the show is popping off.

• 1:53:38Speaker 00

  The, uh, the other part of that question, yes, uh, we have a big problem as a show, uh, where we, we, we just chill too much beforehand. Uh, we, we, what is about a year ago, we added chairs outside the studio and it's just become our chill zone. It's a problem.

• 1:53:57Speaker 03

  We just added another section of chill because the way our show goes is like, all right, we meet it, we meet it this time. Then we do a little bit of, now we do a little bit of chilling outside of the studio.

• 1:54:06Speaker 06

  We said we're gonna record it, like say we're gonna record at one, we meet at one.

• 1:54:10Speaker 03

  Chill. Then we come into the studio and then we do a little bit more chilling because we, there needs to be a little bit of a buffer zone when we're also in the studio before we start recording. It's normally about 45 minutes that we start after we say we're gonna start.

• 1:54:23Speaker 00

  It's also just, I guess it's probably a testament to why we've been able to do 10 years because we all are actually friends with each other and like being around each other. Unlike, you know, some other shows where they just like, don't, you know, the famous Mike and the Mad Dog didn't talk until they sat down. On Sunday night, I, at like 10:45, we finished recording and I texted my wife, I was like, are you asleep? She's like, no, but I'm about to be. I was like, okay, cool. I'm just gonna chill with the boys for a little bit. And we just chilled for like 30 minutes after recording. So yeah, there's a lot of chilling that goes on. But that also is when the magic happens. We get it going, you know? You get, you get the juices flowing.

• 1:54:55Speaker 02

  Sometimes the guys don't listen to save it for the show though.

• 1:54:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:54:59Speaker 02

  They just, they try to blow right past it. We gotta install-

• 1:55:02Speaker 03

  Don't act like you're-

• 1:55:03Speaker 06

  Not part of that.

• 1:55:04Speaker 02

  Hank, shut the fuck up for a second. You know that the save it for the show, the warnings go unheeded more often than they go respected.

• 1:55:11Speaker 00

  They're more just a call.

• 1:55:12Speaker 06

  Yourself included.

• 1:55:13Speaker 02

  Yeah, I know.

• 1:55:14Speaker 06

  No, he said some guys, the guys, like you are the guys.

• 1:55:16Speaker 02

  Okay, I am the guys, but we do need, I'm saying if there was one thing we can improve on, it's respecting the same, when somebody calls.

• 1:55:24Speaker 06

  You tried to show me the Joe Biden video and I'm happy, I was like, I'm gonna wait. And I'm very happy I did.

• 1:55:29Speaker 02

  I just knew that you loved the guy.

• 1:55:30Speaker 00

  It's a really good save it for the show.

• 1:55:31Speaker 06

  Yeah, you're like, I want to show you this. I was like, should I? He's like, it's really funny. I was like, should I just wait then?

• 1:55:36Speaker 02

  I knew that you loved the guy. I'm sorry for wanting to put a smile on my boy's face.

• 1:55:39Speaker 03

  The best is though, when there's actually a big like, save it for the show, save it for the show, and one person just really wants to talk about it, and then the other people are actually starting yelling, save it for the show.

• 1:55:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, screaming.

• 1:55:50Speaker 03

  It's normally, I will want to talk about something and Big Cat will yell at me.

• 1:55:53Speaker 02

  I'll be screaming.

• 1:55:54Speaker 03

  Save it for the show.

• 1:55:56Speaker 00

  You gotta save it for the show. We save a lot for the show.

• 1:56:00Speaker 06

  Assuming views and listens were the same regardless, if you had to only choose one type of guest to have on, would you prefer it be a coach slash player or a media member?

• 1:56:10Speaker 02

  It just depends on like, how we get along with that person.

• 1:56:13Speaker 06

  Well, you gotta pick one.

• 1:56:14Speaker 00

  Yeah, you gotta pick one. Oh, man, this is actually a really hard question.

• 1:56:20Speaker 00

  Fuck.

• 1:56:26Speaker 00

  I think, I think me, I'm just like, I'm putting it in the camps. I think media member, right? Like, if you, if you had to break it down, it's like, all right, you don't get any more interviews with like Harbaugh, or like all the Big Ten coaches on one side. Or you don't get interviews with like, Rossello, or Windhorse, or like.

• 1:56:48Speaker 06

  Rossello's a coworker, he's not really a.

• 1:56:50Speaker 00

  All right, but this is like, I'm just trying to think.

• 1:56:52Speaker 06

  I, I think it's coach, player.

• 1:56:54Speaker 00

  You would get rid of him or no?

• 1:56:56Speaker 06

  I would, I would interview them.

• 1:56:57Speaker 00

  Interview them? Yeah, it's a tough one. I like the fact that we get to do both. It's a really tough question.

• 1:57:03Speaker 02

  Cause I think some of our, our best episodes are with people that are closest with us.

• 1:57:08Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:57:09Speaker 02

  Which isn't always coach, but now it's the rare combination of like a coach, player that is close with us, like a coworker, then that's. That's the real answer, but I think I'd probably go overall, I'd probably go media member.

• 1:57:20Speaker 00

  Blake Griffin, a media member?

• 1:57:21Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:57:22Speaker 03

  That's what I like. There's, there's a gray area.

• 1:57:25Speaker 00

  Yeah. So he would be now, right?

• 1:57:28Speaker 03

  So like you would still get former coach players.

• 1:57:30Speaker 00

  Yeah, I don't know, but now.

• 1:57:32Speaker 02

  You wouldn't have coach players. You just have future guests. Part of my take.

• 1:57:35Speaker 00

  Now I'm thinking about like all.

• 1:57:37Speaker 02

  When they retire.

• 1:57:38Speaker 03

  When they retired.

• 1:57:38Speaker 02

  Then they, yeah, then we're like, okay, now we can interview you.

• 1:57:41Speaker 03

  But what if they're not in the media?

• 1:57:43Speaker 02

  They will.

• 1:57:44Speaker 06

  The, the coach player interviews are funnier, specifically players. Media members are like.

• 1:57:50Speaker 00

  Put it to him a little. Showing coaches like Ryan Day's nipple ring is funny.

• 1:57:55Speaker 06

  I agree.

• 1:57:56Speaker 03

  But like Charles Barkley is media, not player?

• 1:57:58Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:57:59Speaker 00

  Man, that's tough.

• 1:58:00Speaker 03

  That, that, that's what I'm saying.

• 1:58:01Speaker 00

  It's brutal. He's definitely, he's Tony Romo.

• 1:58:05Speaker 03

  But yeah.

• 1:58:07Speaker 00

  What if Tony Romo starts working for Barstool Sports?

• 1:58:09Speaker 03

  Like when you, when you hear Charles, when you hear Charles Barkley, you hear, you think player.

• 1:58:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:58:17Speaker 00

  All right, tough. Great question. That's a great fucking question.

• 1:58:20Speaker 06

  Final answers.

• 1:58:21Speaker 02

  I say media.

• 1:58:23Speaker 00

  I'll keep coach player. Do you want to do a show together?

• 1:58:26Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:58:30Speaker 06

  Uh, question on booking guests. Do you guys ever feel uncomfortable approaching guests you love and asking them to come on the show? Is there too much example being Caleb or Jaden? Like, is there a clear relationship there, but is there a point of asking? And it's like, okay, this is too much in similar vein. When are we getting PCA on the show, big cat?

• 1:58:45Speaker 00

  Oh, yes. It's, I actually talked to someone from the Cubs. Yes, it's gonna happen. Um, no, I don't, I, I think I've gotten pretty good. Even the Jeff Passan, I actually look back, I think I did a good job. I'm gonna read you my, my text to Jeff Passan.

• 1:58:59Speaker 03

  He was fucking.

• 1:59:00Speaker 00

  He was coming at me, which I love. He's got spice. That's what Jeff, like, that's why he's a good guest. Cause he kinda, he has a little shit to him. I said to him, 8:30 in the morning, happy deadline day. I know today is nuts. We'd love to have you on PMT tomorrow for 20 minutes. If you have a window, we can make whatever work for your schedule. I feel like just a reply being like, yeah, let's talk tomorrow would have been fine.

• 1:59:21Speaker 02

  That's not that bad. I don't think it's bad at all. I think if anything, your follow up to it encouraged him to go hard.

• 1:59:26Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:59:26Speaker 02

  Where you follow up, you're like, hey, I just realized I'm a jerk. You could have followed up and just been like, that might not have been the best timing. Let me know when it works.

• 1:59:33Speaker 00

  Yeah. Well, that's where my follow up was. I said, sorry, this morning was probably a dumb time to text. Let me know if you have a window tomorrow. That was like after the trade deadline.

• 1:59:40Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:59:40Speaker 00

  And then he called me and he was like, yeah, that was a dumb time. But I was like, yeah, he admitted that though.

• 1:59:45Speaker 02

  Also Jeff, like, and he deserves this. We love Jeff. He's great at his job. This is the day, this week is really when he's feeling like top of his game.

• 1:59:53Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:59:53Speaker 02

  So like, he's got a little extra spice.

• 1:59:54Speaker 00

  But I didn't.

• 1:59:55Speaker 02

  He's feeling.

• 1:59:55Speaker 06

  He had a good day.

• 1:59:56Speaker 02

  He had a good day. So he's, yeah. Going after, if you're going after big cat, that's a heat check for Jeff Bass.

• 2:00:02Speaker 00

  But I read it back because I was like, wait, did I fuck that up? Because I, I think it would have been a fuck up if I, if I texted him, I was like, hey, can we have you on at 11 a.m. tomorrow? Like something like that. I basically was like, we have a wide open day. Just let me know if tomorrow at some point works. All he had to say is, yeah, that's cool. I'll hit you later. But yeah, that's a lot of the, a lot of my texts are like that. Like, hey, we like, would you be down to come on? And I have another relationship with a bunch of people that doesn't feel weird.

• 2:00:28Speaker 06

  And my favorite, one of my favorite things about big cat for our entire relationship is his lack of social anxiety, especially in situations where there's like athletes and celebrities where he will just go up to everyone.

• 2:00:43Speaker 00

  Yeah. Oh, yeah.

• 2:00:43Speaker 06

  Like there is no like, you know, you get a little bit nervous to go, look, it's that person. They're like, I don't want to just go up and like bum rush them. Like big cat.

• 2:00:50Speaker 00

  I want.

• 2:00:50Speaker 06

  Big cat's going up and he's talking to him and he's gonna be, he's.

• 2:00:53Speaker 00

  I want it to be awkward. Yeah.

• 2:00:55Speaker 06

  Did you ask Larry David to come on the show or no?

• 2:00:57Speaker 00

  Uh, no.

• 2:00:58Speaker 06

  That's probably the one person you might not have, but I feel like you still might have.

• 2:01:01Speaker 00

  I pulled back a handshake from Larry David because I was, I realized he's a germaphobe. And then I said, hey, congrats on the Knicks. And he like mumbled and walked away. But yeah, I'll go up to anyone and just be like, hey, you want to come on the show? I mean, at this point, it's also easier. People know who we are.

• 2:01:15Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:01:16Speaker 00

  Like it's early, yeah.

• 2:01:17Speaker 02

  Early on, like it did not matter.

• 2:01:19Speaker 00

  That that's always, we said it, the one of the worst sentences you can say in the English language is, do you want to come on my podcast? It's just, you cannot say that without feeling like a loser. Thankfully, something is wildly wrong with my brain that I can not feel like a loser, even though I am a loser.

• 2:01:34Speaker 02

  When somebody tells me, uh, yeah, yeah, we'll talk about it. That is, that's the worst feeling that you have. You ask somebody like, hey, we come on the podcast? Yeah, yeah, let's talk about it. We can make something happen.

• 2:01:43Speaker 00

  Oh, I just.

• 2:01:44Speaker 02

  And then they don't actually like settle in the date.

• 2:01:46Speaker 00

  Oh, I put the screws to people. I just say, I say, can you come on tomorrow like this time? Cause then they can't, then you gotta say yes or no.

• 2:01:53Speaker 02

  With, uh, with Jaden, I'm intentionally, I don't, I, I don't want Jaden to spend a single second thinking about me. So I, I have intentionally let the guy just play football. It was great meeting him. Um, but in terms of like chasing him down to try to get him on the pod, hopefully one day he'll come back on. But I think that the less Jaden Daniels thinks about my stupid face, uh, probably the better for his NFL career.

• 2:02:17Speaker 06

  What's up, guys? Love the show, especially, uh, Hank. Question for PFT. What goes through your mind when you get dressed in the morning? For example, how do you choose to wear a football jersey on a random summer Tuesday afternoon?

• 2:02:31Speaker 02

  Okay. So this was, uh, I guess a question from Hank Lockwood.

• 2:02:34Speaker 06

  No, this is.

• 2:02:35Speaker 02

  Sounds like a real piece of shit. Uh, Hank, so right now I'm wearing a jersey of my favorite team. I, I root for the Washington commanders.

• 2:02:43Speaker 06

  No, I.

• 2:02:43Speaker 02

  So I'm wearing a Washington commander.

• 2:02:44Speaker 06

  I think this person is just genuinely like.

• 2:02:46Speaker 02

  With, with, wait, wait.

• 2:02:47Speaker 06

  You get out of bed and then you're like jersey day.

• 2:02:49Speaker 00

  Was there a reason?

• 2:02:50Speaker 02

  With, with a Washington commanders hat.

• 2:02:52Speaker 06

  I, but like.

• 2:02:54Speaker 02

  And that, I know that's wild.

• 2:02:55Speaker 00

  He's not coming back.

• 2:02:56Speaker 02

  It's pretty crazy. We do some.

• 2:02:57Speaker 06

  No, no, no.

• 2:02:57Speaker 02

  It's August 4th. We do, we do some zany bits here at Barstool.

• 2:03:00Speaker 00

  Was there a reason?

• 2:03:01Speaker 06

  I'm genuinely curious, the process, like you wake up, you get out of bed, I gotta get dressed for work today. Jersey.

• 2:03:07Speaker 02

  I got a new Mikey Sanders still jersey when they redesigned the entire commander's jerseys. And so I decided that I would wear my Mike Sanders still jersey today. Football's back this week.

• 2:03:17Speaker 00

  Cause I'm just like, I'm like Inspector Gadget.

• 2:03:19Speaker 02

  It's kind of football season.

• 2:03:20Speaker 00

  Day that ends in Y, black t-shirt.

• 2:03:22Speaker 02

  So I feel like, uh, wearing, wearing a football jersey at Barstool Sports, um, of your favorite team.

• 2:03:28Speaker 00

  Guy loves ball.

• 2:03:29Speaker 02

  And the hat that goes along with the team is pretty standard.

• 2:03:31Speaker 00

  Guy loves.

• 2:03:32Speaker 02

  No, you're right. It's crazy. That's why.

• 2:03:33Speaker 06

  No one said it was crazy. I was genuinely curious or this person was genuinely curious of just like the process.

• 2:03:38Speaker 02

  Well, yesterday I wore all bullets gear. So there was that.

• 2:03:41Speaker 06

  I know I'm saying.

• 2:03:42Speaker 02

  So I have been matching. I've been matching more than.

• 2:03:44Speaker 06

  When you're like, like.

• 2:03:44Speaker 02

  That's two days in a row.

• 2:03:45Speaker 06

  Do you go to sleep with an idea of what you're gonna wear?

• 2:03:48Speaker 00

  He puts it out like the first day of school.

• 2:03:50Speaker 06

  Do you just wake up and you're like, I'm gonna wear all bullets. I'm gonna wear a jersey.

• 2:03:54Speaker 02

  Let me let you into my mind real quick Hank. I have never once in my life thought about what I'm going to wear the next day before I go to bed.

• 2:04:01Speaker 06

  And then when you get out of bed.

• 2:04:02Speaker 02

  And I love it. Every day is a surprise. It's a wonderful adventure.

• 2:04:05Speaker 03

  Even if you got like an early flight or something.

• 2:04:07Speaker 02

  Okay. Yeah. No, that is true. So the first time that we did wake up Barstool. First day, I was like, ah shit, I gotta wake up at 5:45 tomorrow morning. Might as well figure out what I'm gonna wear on TV. Uh, and that was just basically being like, oh yeah, I gotta wear pants. So I put pants out one day and a t-shirt. It was a very underwhelming outfit, but yeah, no, I mean, I, I, it's no secret. I don't really spend that much time planning out this one. I just think you picked the wrong day to ask that question. Nothing wrong with wearing a jersey.

• 2:04:35Speaker 06

  It's a little random. But it, I, I wasn't, I'm not, I'm not chirping. I think you look good. Like you, you're matched well. Like you look stylish. I just, I just genuinely like was it to know if it was jersey for a reason, or if it was just like, fuck it, Tuesday, August 4th, football jersey.

• 2:04:51Speaker 02

  I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I don't like.

• 2:04:52Speaker 06

  I don't think there's anything wrong with it either. I'm not, I'm not coming at you at all. I'm genuinely.

• 2:04:56Speaker 02

  Walk me through your double t-shirt look you got today Hank. Was one t-shirt not enough for you?

• 2:05:00Speaker 06

  Uh, it's actually one t-shirt.

• 2:05:01Speaker 00

  It is.

• 2:05:01Speaker 02

  Oh, so it's a fake t-shirt.

• 2:05:02Speaker 00

  That's the one that Jack McCarthy wore. Uh, they both wore it to Max's wedding.

• 2:05:06Speaker 06

  Yeah. And then he wore it yesterday. So I knew that he was, yeah, yeah. Cause like I wouldn't have, I would, I'm scared. There's a, we know we have a few matching shirts. So it's like, I wouldn't wear it. Just in the off chance we do it again, like that can't happen. So once I saw him wearing it yesterday. When I was getting changed, I was also just like going through and I was like, oh, boom, green light.

• 2:05:28Speaker 02

  It's a good shirt.

• 2:05:29Speaker 06

  Thank you.

• 2:05:30Speaker 02

  Does it come in your size?

• 2:05:32Speaker 06

  It's just too small or too big?

• 2:05:34Speaker 02

  It's a little too small. It's a little tight around the collar. It's alright.

• 2:05:37Speaker 00

  PFT, I decided to go a little different today.

• 2:05:40Speaker 02

  You might be, you might just put on weight.

• 2:05:41Speaker 06

  I'm not coming at you. Yeah, I am putting on weight.

• 2:05:43Speaker 00

  I decided to go a little different today, PFT. I'm wearing a black t-shirt.

• 2:05:45Speaker 02

  That's good. It's a good outfit. Zach, what are you wearing today?

• 2:05:49Speaker 03

  On body today, I decided to go with a black t-shirt.

• 2:05:53Speaker 00

  It makes, it makes getting dressed very easy.

• 2:05:56Speaker 03

  So efficient.

• 2:05:57Speaker 00

  Like, I do, I don't know if you guys noticed, but I do one day where I get a little freaky and I just wear like a golf shirt.

• 2:06:04Speaker 06

  A great.

• 2:06:05Speaker 00

  That's my fucking nuts.

• 2:06:06Speaker 06

  A great, a great, like, you know, Zach, everyone's Mr. Nice Guy, Mr., you know, he's, he's been coming at Max and rightfully so.

• 2:06:16Speaker 06

  No LeBron gear and today he's wearing Jordans.

• 2:06:19Speaker 00

  Oh, you're go?

• 2:06:21Speaker 03

  Yeah. Uh, I, I did say I, I will give Jordan the, the nod to sneakers.

• 2:06:27Speaker 06

  But like a LeBron guy would never say that.

• 2:06:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, you're not fully LeBron.

• 2:06:30Speaker 00

  No, you're not.

• 2:06:31Speaker 03

  If you guys want to worry about apparel, I'll worry about on the court.

• 2:06:35Speaker 00

  What? You have to, what, what do you wear on the court?

• 2:06:38Speaker 03

  If you want to worry about what he's wearing on the court, I'll worry about how he plays on the court.

• 2:06:42Speaker 00

  Oh, so you changed it just there? Cause I just asked you, what, what, what does he wear on the court? Cause you do actually have to wear, if you're gonna play ba-, if you're LeBron James is gonna play basketball this year, he does have to get dressed and he has to put on shoes.

• 2:06:53Speaker 03

  Okay, you can worry about that.

• 2:06:54Speaker 00

  I'm just saying.

• 2:06:55Speaker 03

  The game.

• 2:06:55Speaker 00

  Well, no, you should be worried.

• 2:06:57Speaker 03

  You can worry about that. I'll worry about the game.

• 2:06:58Speaker 06

  Like, if the Wizards got LeBron, PFT would be, have worn a LeBron shirt every single day since they got.

• 2:07:05Speaker 02

  I would've gotten LeBron's face tattooed on my face.

• 2:07:07Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:07:08Speaker 03

  PFT is an anomaly.

• 2:07:10Speaker 00

  Hold on, but you understand that you should be at least a little worried. Like, what if LeBron just doesn't get dressed one day?

• 2:07:17Speaker 02

  Alright. Why, Max, do you own a LeBron James jersey?

• 2:07:21Speaker 03

  They're sold out.

• 2:07:22Speaker 02

  Oh, you didn't even, is your name on a waitlist?

• 2:07:24Speaker 03

  Yeah, they're sold out.

• 2:07:25Speaker 02

  And you're on the waitlist?

• 2:07:26Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 2:07:27Speaker 02

  You're on the waitlist?

• 2:07:27Speaker 00

  You're on the waitlist.

• 2:07:28Speaker 02

  Or did you just not?

• 2:07:29Speaker 03

  I don't wear jerseys. I don't wear, you're, you're the only grown man who wears jerseys.

• 2:07:34Speaker 00

  That's an absolutely insane take.

• 2:07:38Speaker 03

  Hank also just said the same thing. You wear, you wake up on a Tuesday morning and you pick out your favorite Mikey Sanders jersey who's half your age.

• 2:07:45Speaker 02

  I have one Mikey.

• 2:07:49Speaker 02

  We're going to the grown men can't wear jerseys.

• 2:07:51Speaker 03

  Well, if you're gonna come at me, if you're gonna go.

• 2:07:53Speaker 06

  I don't, I don't have a problem at all not coming at you whatsoever. When you wear it on a football Sunday, makes sense. The random Tuesday in August is just like, I'm curious.

• 2:08:00Speaker 02

  I, I did not realize that this was going to be controversial.

• 2:08:03Speaker 06

  It's not, it's not, it's not.

• 2:08:05Speaker 02

  Things I was born to work, I didn't think that this one was going to be a title.

• 2:08:07Speaker 00

  Mikey Sanders still is 25 years old, so he's not half his age.

• 2:08:12Speaker 03

  Only 17 years younger.

• 2:08:13Speaker 02

  Yeah, well.

• 2:08:14Speaker 00

  16 idiots.

• 2:08:16Speaker 02

  Yeah, hit it right, man.

• 2:08:17Speaker 03

  That difference can drive a car.

• 2:08:18Speaker 00

  He's about to be 26.

• 2:08:20Speaker 02

  Max, do you own any jerseys at all?

• 2:08:24Speaker 00

  That was mean, Max.

• 2:08:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, I do.

• 2:08:26Speaker 02

  Yeah, you own a lot of jerseys, Max.

• 2:08:28Speaker 03

  I, I think I own.

• 2:08:32Speaker 06

  Max, you did walk around with shoulder pads on like a month ago.

• 2:08:35Speaker 03

  That, that's, that's my own jersey. That's a meatball jersey.

• 2:08:39Speaker 00

  That is a meatball 99.

• 2:08:41Speaker 02

  This was not the day I expected to have the, uh, should grown men wear jerseys?

• 2:08:46Speaker 06

  I think you should.

• 2:08:47Speaker 02

  I think there's no problem.

• 2:08:48Speaker 03

  You asked the question, that wasn't even FAQ.

• 2:08:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:08:50Speaker 03

  You, you just, you just went out of the blue.

• 2:08:53Speaker 02

  And then Hank's like, I don't know why you're coming at me for it.

• 2:08:54Speaker 06

  I wasn't coming at him. I genuinely like.

• 2:08:56Speaker 03

  I wouldn't have said anything if you didn't come at me.

• 2:08:58Speaker 06

  Is a brilliant mind, is a fascinating guy. I wanted to get inside his head and learn about his process and, and we got to, we got to it.

• 2:09:04Speaker 02

  My process this morning was literally, I just got this jersey because they.

• 2:09:07Speaker 06

  That makes sense.

• 2:09:08Speaker 02

  All new jerseys over the summer. So I, it was between, honestly, can I tell you what happened this morning?

• 2:09:13Speaker 06

  Yes, please. That's why I asked the question.

• 2:09:15Speaker 02

  All right. I, I had, I had two choices.

• 2:09:17Speaker 06

  Your laundry got stolen?

• 2:09:18Speaker 02

  No, because they, they learned their lesson last time when they took a peek inside and they're like, that was a waste of time. Um, I tried two choices this morning. Uh, one was the Mikey Sanders still. The other was the one that I tried to wear, which was, uh, Luke McCaffrey. And I wore that and then.

• 2:09:36Speaker 06

  Salute to service?

• 2:09:37Speaker 02

  It was not the salute to service. It was a brand new burgundy Luke McCaffrey. And then Blake threw up on it this morning on the way out. And then I was like, well.

• 2:09:45Speaker 03

  I kept my other jersey.

• 2:09:46Speaker 02

  I bet I was already in the mindset of wearing a jersey. Which Hank is right, like it's a weird time to wear a jersey, but because I was excited about the Mikey, uh, about the Luke McCaffrey jersey. I was in a jersey mindset. Blake throws up on it. I was like.

• 2:10:01Speaker 02

  Okay, I'll just go to the backup jersey that I have because I'm not gonna, I'm not making that switch. Once you put on the jersey, you don't take it off and you put a polo shirt on. No, you're already like, you've set your intention for that day. You're gonna go to work and, and probably be like, a little shady in the way you operate that day as a grown man wearing a football uniform in August. So I said, I'm going to then elegantly switch to the Mikey and I think I pulled it off pretty good. Thank you.

  Getting new clothes is exciting and you want to wear them. If, if that was just a jersey that you've had, that would have been weird. But like a new jersey, it's like, yeah, this is fresh. I wanna, I wanna, I wanna wear it. If you agree though, if this, if that was just like a jersey you've had and you were like, fuck it. Jersey Tuesday.

  Hank, that's why I didn't put on the, the Luke McCaffrey salute to service Arctic Camo jersey. Because that's an old jersey. I had the new one I wanted to put on and then I had the new Mikey. So I'm glad we talked this through.

• 2:10:51Speaker 06

  Yeah, me too.

• 2:10:52Speaker 02

  And I'm glad that it didn't evolve into you leveling accusations that grown men should not wear uniforms.

• 2:10:56Speaker 06
